They're off to see the wizard in a gala fundraiser Friday for Amarillo Area Court Appointed Special Advocates.
The 12th annual CASA gala is riffing on "The Wizard of Oz" for this year's theme, "There's No Place Like Home."
"There's no place like a safe home for our abused children," said Valerie Fulkerson, CASA fund development director. "Our focus really is to secure safe and permanent homes for these abused children, and (Oz) seemed like a good fit."
CASA advocates for children of abuse through the efforts of trained volunteers, appointed by the court to ensure them a safe, permanent environment, according to information provided by the organization.
The gala begins at 6:30 p.m. at the home of Dr. Larry and Laresa Chesley, 3 Westminster Circle. Heavy hors'doeuvres service begins at 7 p.m.
Also featured is Dallas saxophonist Rusty Johnson.
"He's a former foster youth himself, so he knows firsthand what our abused children go through," Fulkerson said.
The gala is dedicated to the memory of 47th District Judge Hal Miner, who died in 2010.
"He was a strong supporter of CASA," Fulkerson said. "He believed in what we do, he believed in what the volunteers do, and he helped us get some kiddos adopted, for sure."
Weekend activities also include the Miner Memorial Golf Tournament, which begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday at Comanche Trail Arrowhead Golf Course, 4200 S. Grand St.

Hi, Hoping for a little help on a decision I'm trying to make. I started out with a Canon 10D and two awesome 2.8 lenses. Loved the equipment. A lot of great pics! Had to sell the system during a tough stretch. Couldn't find anything that made me happy with the funds available, but finally ended up with a Panasonic G6. Great little camera. A bit confusing on the menus and settings, but again find myself not having the $$ for good glass. Low light and image quality are very important to me. I...
Hello guys,I have a question to all of you who own an FZ200 or have some experience with it: I'm planning to buy a new camera and am considering either the FZ200 or a Nikon D3100 Pack that comes with two Nikon lenses (AFS DX 18-55mm GII and AFS DX 55-200mm VR). They both cost more or less the same.Having in mind that I'm a beginner and will mainly shoot family, holidays, landscapes, some events and my kids soccer and tennis matches (this is why I'm considering a nice optical zoom and action...

Since I was very satisfied with everything I bought in your shop on my last visit to Thyland, I would like to try and make an order directly from your site. To do that I wish you could answer my few questions: 1. Do you have my measurements taken in your shop, so that you could compare them with the ones that should be sending to you from your site, so that I´ll be noticed in case that there was some mistake in the figures? 2.Could you send me by e-mail the details (fabric, stile etc) of the shirts I bought last time, so I could compare it to the ones shown on your site? 3.Could you suggest a pant´s fabric for winter time. Those that I bought last time are too worm, since the temperature here is 12 - 18 degrees in this season? 4.Do you sell short-sleeves cotton shirts and what would be the price? Thank you for a detailes and quick answer

NEW ORLEANS -- Yes, there's bitching and moaning about what's in, and not in, the stimulus package. And then there's this, from last Friday's Times-Picayune:
The giant economic stimulus bill signed into law this week by President Barack Obama will provide $3.8 billion in financing and tax cuts for Louisiana, but none of it is earmarked specifically for hurricane recovery.
My first thought when reading that was, "Damn, three and a half years along, and we're not shovel-ready." Then, in the same paper, there's this:
Regional levee commissioners said Thursday that they fear that the Army Corps of Engineers is running into money problems in its efforts to build better flood protection by 2011 and that to cut costs, the corps might recommend what the commissioners consider to be unacceptable projects.
This, it should be noted, is the new, reformed, professional levee board, not the old political-hack operation. Reform of the levee boards is one of the first successes achieved by citizen action in New Orleans following the 2005 flood.
But back to the stimulus, and the long-running discussion I've been having with HuffPost readers about candidate-now-President Obama's level of commitment to the intelligent and compassionate rebuilding of this city. Here's verbiage from the president on Friday:
"The residents of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast who are helping rebuild are heroes who believe in their communities and they are succeeding despite the fact that they have not always received the support they deserve from the federal government," Obama said in a statement. "We must ensure that the failures of the past are never repeated."
But the chief failure of the past was the failure to adequately fund flood-prevention projects designed and constructed by the Army Corps, as well as to subject those designs to rigorous peer review. We appear well on the way to repeating those failures, words to the contrary notwithstanding.

This park is located in the southern region of NH about 30 min from UNH, 45 minutes away from Manchester and the same from Hampton Beach. It is a beautiful park with the 195 campsites in three sections - a tent section, Big Island area and then Horse Island. There is also primitive camping on other lakes in this huge park. Horse Island and part of Big Island are reservable - 180 total. There are some great sites on Horse Island overlooking the lake and many have direct access for their kayaks from their site. Our site 7 was beautiful but tough to turn around in with a 25ft sprinter, so I would not pick it again. One needs to really read the write up about the sites. We loved site 43! There are bathhouses with flush toilets and coin operated showers throughout the park. All sites are wooded with open fireplaces, picnic tables and there is water available around the loops. There is a beach with playground, store and picnic tables all in walking distance from most sites but parking there is also available. Pets are not allowed in the park and there is no dump station. There are boat ramps for boating on Pawtuckaway Lake that surrounds the campsites. Many sites have lake views. We definitely will be back. I just wish they allowed pets and had a dump station. - gsnakehill

Was a stop over for us on the way north. Nice park for families with the lake, beach, boat rentals and nice store. Sites are spacious offering privacy. We were able to back into our site with our 32 ft motorhome, but most sites are not level. Park is really not big rig friendly, most campers were in tents. Again, nice park, but we won't be returning because the price for a state park with no hookups is way too high. - Buckie
Jul 2012 - $30.00
Our family loved this campground. The sites are big and have a lot of space between them. The water in the lake was clean and warm. It had big boulders left behind by the glaciers that we canoed to and the kids could jump off of them. The camp store was expensive compared to what we are used to. The bathrooms were a little out dated, except for one that look like it was redone a couple of years ago. The bugs were pretty bad in the showering area. The showers are free even though there is a coin operator. The day use area gets real busy on the weekends. We definitely will go back next year. The also don't have a dump station. - B. P. Donelan

"Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin," a talk by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, author of a 2010 best-selling, award-winning book by the same name about the mass killings that took place on the lands between Moscow and Berlin between 1930 and 1945, will be held on February 15 at 5:15 p.m. in the Donnelley Lecture Hall, Heimbold Visual Arts Center at Sarah Lawrence College. A reception will follow. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public.
A New York Times bestseller, Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin (Basic Books, 2010) was cited as "book of the year" by a dozen publications including The Atlantic, The Independent, The Financial Times, the Telegraph, The Economist, History Today, the Seattle Times and the New Statesman.
"Timothy Snyder has restored the Holocaust to its mainly East European context, a context that included the murder of millions at the hands of Hitler's and Stalin's brutal regimes," said Sarah Lawrence professor of Jewish Studies Glenn Dynner. "Snyder's careful attention to non-Jewish in addition to Jewish victims only enhances the enormity of Hitler's specifically anti-Jewish campaign, illustrating its unprecedented focus, scale, and systematic nature. By blending meticulous compilations of statistical data with gut-wrenching personal anecdotes, Snyder helps us begin to get our minds and hearts around the Twentieth Century's most horrific event."
Author of several other award-winning books, including Nationalism, Marxism, and Modern Central Europe: A Biography of Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz; The Reconstruction of Nations: Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus, 1569-1999; and Sketches from a Secret War: A Polish Artist's Mission to Liberate Soviet Ukraine, Timothy Snyder is Bird White Housum Professor of History at Yale University.
A graduate of Brown University, Snyder earned his PhD in 1995 at the University of Oxford as a Marshall Scholar. He was an Academy Scholar at Harvard University from 1998 to 2001 and also studied at the Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen in Vienna. His articles and editorials have appeared in numerous publications, including the Christian Science Monitor and the New York Review of Books.

Great thread. I'll have to get out my camera and take some shots of my bikes.
[QUOTE=sekaijin;5756712]This Gios above is my favorite so far, because it shows the clearest transformation from trash to flash. Some of these bikes don't look all that bad in their before pics!
The Gios frame was trashed! Brian Baylis painted it for me and he still b****es about how much time it took to get a smooth surface.
I had bought the frame sight unseen and had it sent directly to Brian. I never saw that "before" picture until it was already painted. If I had seen it first I probably would have kept looking for a different frame.
With that said it is really the best old bike I've ever ridden. Might have something to do with it being a perfect fit for me, but I really think they just got the angles right on those.
Before, after tear-down. I received it as a complete bike, but didn't think to take a pic till after I stripped it. Features included crash damage, rust, a heavily corroded top tube, and a cracked head tube. Apparently it was raced hard:

Fortunately, Dick Cheney ran over me and then tried to shoot me in the face with his shotgun...the settlement allowed for the stunning restoration.

Best Formerly Free Music Project
Last December, this very publication saluted the new self-titled full-length by the Denver Gentlemen for several very good reasons. The group, led by the enigmatic Jeffrey-Paul Norlander, helped establish the gothic-roots sound that distinguished the Denver scene during the '90s, with former members going on to found 16 Horsepower, Slim Cessna's Auto Club and the Kalamath Brothers. Moreover, the new songs stood among the band's best work, and they could be downloaded for free at www.denvergentlemen.com. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case: The tunes are now on discs for sale at area stores, and are well worth the purchase price. As consolation, the first Denver Gentlemen long-player, the equally stirring Introducing...the Denver Gentlemen, is now available on the site at no charge. Gentlemen, start your search engines.

After wowing fans in Pakistan, popular singer Kailash Kher is ready to entertain music lovers in Australia. He will perform at the OzAsia Festival in Adelaide Sep 14-30.
The singer will perform with his eight-piece band Kailasa, to present a unique blend of spiritual Sufi chants, Rajasthani gypsy rhythms and Punjabi dance numbers.
"This year, we embark on a thrilling journey into Indian culture, showcasing theatre, music, dance, film and cuisine, synonymous with the colourful country, richly textured and steeped in traditions," Jacinta Thompson, director OzAsia Festival, said in a statement.
"While India holds the centrepiece for this year's program, we have also invited artists and industry specialists from other Asian countries and here in Australia to play an integral role in assisting to bridge the cultural divide, allowing us to deepen understandings about the diverse nation we have become," Thompson added.
A documentary film on Fearless Nadia, popular stuntwoman of the era gone by, will also be showcased during the festival. It will also see traditional Indian and contemporary dance performances.
Organised by Adelaide Festival Centre and supported by Major Festival Partner Santos, the culturally diverse OzAsia Festival play host to 20 performances and 73 events featuring 300 artists and presenters from countries like Japan, Korea, China, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam and Australia.

House Democrats support disclosure on public lands
By Lauren Pagel
January 18, 2011
Yesterday, 46 Democrats from the House of Representatives sent a letter to Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar that supports Interior s move towards public disclosure of fracturing chemicals for oil and gas operations on public lands. This letter stands in contrast to the 32 House members that signed a letter urging Interior to put off regulations until after the EPA hydraulic fracturing study has been completed.
As a first step in regulating what happens with oil and gas production on our public lands lands that are owned by you and me disclosure is a no-brainer, from my perspective. Regardless of what the findings of the EPA study might be, citizens deserve to know what chemicals are being by companies operating on lands that are part of our national heritage.
I hope the Interior Department stays true to its mission to protect public lands and the waters contained within them and moves forward with strong disclosure provisions. In addition to disclosure of chemicals involved in hydraulic fracturing, the Interior Department should lead the way by instituting the most stringent regulations for the entire lifecycle of oil and gas production. DoI should require that companies operating on public lands adhere to best practices to protect air, land and water resources.

West Virginia considers shale gas drilling regulation
By Alan Septoff
January 14, 2011
From our friends at the West Virginia Surface Owners' Rights Association:
Interim Committee Advances Marcellus Shale Legislation
Earlier this week, Subcommittee A of the Joint Judiciary Committee advanced a bill establishing a new regulatory program for gas wells utilizing horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Although the committee advanced the bill without a recommendation for passage by the full legislature, this keeps the bill alive. (You can read more here, here and here.) It also means the legislature will have two comprehensive bills to consider. The DEP has finalized its legislation and acting Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has signed off on the package (although it will not be a governor's bill and Tomblin did not mention it in the State of the State address).

Range Resources tries to wish its pollution away
By Sharon Wilson
January 5, 2011
Range Resources lives in an alternate universe where saying something makes it true no matter the facts. Range wrote a letter where they claim the EPA met with them and agreed that they were not responsible for the garden hose turned flamethrower in Parker County. Okay, I ll play: if saying something makes it true, then I m a ballerina.
The EPA was clear when they gave Texans an early Christmas present by issuing an emergency order to protect families in southern Parker County, Texas, west of Fort Worth in the Barnett Shale gas field. The EPA would not take this action lightly, especially in Texas. Their investigation was thorough and included isotopic fingerprinting and a detailed timeline where the finger points directly at Range Resources.
After four months of investigating, the Texas Railroad Commission couldn t say how the gas got in the well water. It took the EPA two months of investigating to determine Range was responsible. But Gene Powell an industry apologist who writes the Powell Barnett Newsletter that even industry calls pro-industry did a quickie investigation and figured it all out in just five days!

"Love, Earth" Wal-Mart jewelry -- not so Loving
By Scott Cardiff
January 5, 2011
A new investigation in the Broward-Palm Beach and Miami New Times has shed more light on Wal-Mart's "Love, Earth" jewelry line, and it's not looking so Lovely. In fact, the jewelry's looking rather like dirty gold: it comes at a great cost to jewelry factory workers and to the environment and communities around the mines.

Tax-free damage: Marcellus states should make polluters pay
By Nadia Steinzor
January 5, 2011
The turn of a year signals new plans and possibilities. But as 2011 kicks off, elected officials are wondering how in the face of steep federal and state deficits they'll ever have the funds to realize policy goals.
In the Marcellus Shale region, it s been tempting to plug budget holes with the quick bucks that come from issuing permits and leasing state land for gas drilling. But this stop-gap measure can also mean an increase in drilling, and with it the need for even more revenue to pay the steep costs of gas development (like road damage, toxic clean up, and health problems). Tackling those impacts requires steps many politicians are loath to take, like long-term planning, bold regulatory change and taxing industry.
Pennsylvania and New York are the only oil- and gas-producing states without a severance tax to make companies pay for the resources they sever from the land forever. Resource extraction taxes can offset the financial burden placed on public coffers and, when used appropriately, mitigate damage to drilled communities and the environment. Severance taxes vary widely in basis (value or volume), rate, and exemptions, but don't appear to deter industry from seeking the resources from which they so greatly profit.

Support Lewis and Donahue
I write in support of the re-election of Patti Lewis and Anne Donahue to the Vermont General Assembly. Both women have shown an attentiveness to constituent issues and a solid understanding of the larger issues confronting Vermont.
I am chairman of the Berlin Board of Civil Authority. A year ago the board was asked to comment on the General Assemblys decision to create a new two-member district consisting of Berlin and a portion of Northfield. The board opposed that configuration, arguing that it was better for each town to have its own representative. The advice was ignored. A benefit of re-electing Patti (who lives in Berlin) and Anne (who lives in Northfield) is that in effect each town will continue to have its own representative.

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh's own film "Shortcut Romeo" released Friday, but he also wishes well for the fate of his close friend, actress Sonam Kapoor's "Raanjhanaa", which released on the same day. Neil feels the movies will mark a new beginning for both of them.
"Sonam in 'Raanjhanaa' is completely transformed. I can see the change in her. I feel it would be like a new beginning for her. It's like what happened to Karisma Kapoor after 'Raja Hindustani' or Shabana Azmi in 'Arth'," said Neil.
Neil and Sonam developed a good friendship ever since they worked together in Abbas-Mustan's "Players". They have kept close tabs on each other's projects since, and even make sure they watch one another's films.
There's a healthy give-and-take of criticism from both ends.
Neil himself feels a similar change in his own work in "Shortcut Romeo".
"Believe me, I've never worked so hard. Because the director Susi Ganesh is completely new to Hindi cinema and Bollywood, I was virtually the one-point stopover for the entire project in Mumbai," he said.
The actor says he served as the hero, the chief assistant, the production co-ordinator and the spotboy on this one.
"My involvement with 'Shortcut Romeo' was so deep that I forgot where the actor was left behind and the all-purpose project coordinator took over. Susi is completely alien to Bollywood. I had to lead him through the entire project. But I enjoyed every bit of it," he added.
Neil is confident of "Shortcut Romeo" in spite of competition from his friend's film, which is already doing brisk business.
"I know 'Raanjhanaa' is a big one. Everyone wants to see the love story between Sonam and Dhanush. So do I. But we are advantaged by our budget. 'Raanjhanaa' is a Rs.30 crore to Rs.35 crore project. We completed 'Shortcut Romeo' within Rs.15 crores although we shot in some of the most exotic spots of the world," said Neil.
Nevertheless, Neil is all for "Raanjhanaa", and even confident of his own film.
"'Shortcut Romeo' was a huge success in Tamil. And we've gone many steps ahead of the Tamil original 'Thiruttu Payale' in terms of treatment and execution," he added.

Explore the history of ceramic art across cultures! Our hands-on, inquiry based clay programmes will allow your students to gain an in-depth understanding of the properties of clay, use hand building techniques and allow for individual expression in the creation of a sculptural piece.
A vessel is more than a container; it reveals insights into the artist and their culture. Students learn the rich history of clay vessels, from Greek Amphorae to contemporary craft, and create their own vessel.
Note: The residents in the ceramic studio will fire students' work for a charge of $3.50 per piece (including HST), if desired. This is a bisque fire ONLY, which strengthens the clay but will not make the piece watertight and/or usable. This is NOT a glazing fire.
Key Inquiry Question: What will your clay vessel reveal about your culture and you as an artist?
Programme Objectives
By the end of any Clay programme, students will:
- Use appropriate terminology related to ceramic arts
- Assess historic and contemporary examples of the chosen project
- Demonstrate an ability to construct a clay vessel using hand building techniques

Will the Dow Make It Five In a Row?
After losing ground in the last four trading sessions, futures
on the
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI)
are wallowing in the red ahead of the bell. In fact, it could be
another ugly day for U.S. stocks, with the
S&P 500 Index (
and the
Nasdaq Composite (COMP)
falling in step with European markets.
- Schaeffer's Senior Technical Strategist Ryan Detrick observed how a supposedly bearish signal on the SPX may have bullish tendencies.
- Amid broad-market weakness, Schaeffer's Equities Analyst Bryan Sapp breaks down potential opportunities in the outperforming SPDR S&P Biotech ETF ( XBI ) .
And now, on to the numbers...
Market Statistics
Equity option activity on the Chicago Board Options Exchange ( CBOE ) saw 1,185,196 call contracts traded on Wednesday, compared to 1,052,281 put contracts. The resultant single-session put/call ratio arrived at 0.89, while the 21-day moving average was 0.73.
From the Trading Floor
Sapp contends, "The 1,333 on the SPX is still right here, even though we're trading all around it. If we don't sustain a bounce back above it soon, we're likely headed for 1,300 . The 148 level on the SPDR Gold Trust ( GLD ) is also pretty important. It has been moving in unison with equities lately, and I would think a bounce in GLD would mean a bounce in the market. It's still all about the euro zone, though."
Currencies and Commodities
- The U.S. dollar index is pointed north this morning, with the greenback 0.2% higher at $81.54.
- Crude oil is churning around breakeven, with crude for June delivery last seen at $93.20 per barrel.
- After closing at their lowest level in 10 months , gold futures are on the rebound, with the malleable metal up 0.7% at $1,546.60 an ounce.
In earnings news, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT - 59.19) said its first-quarter profit rose 10% on a year-over-year basis to $3.74 billion, or $1.09 per share, while revenue edged up 8.5% to $113.02 billion. The results beat analysts' expectations for earnings of $1.04 per share on $110.54 billion in sales. Traders on the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange ( CBOE ), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) bought to open 2.83 calls for every put in the 10 sessions prior to today's announcement. WMT is 2.9% higher in pre-market trading.
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (RRGB - 35.75) reported a first-quarter profit of $10.6 million, or 71 cents per share -- up 21% from the year-ago period. Excluding items, RRGB earned 58 cents per share, as revenue increased 4.4% to $299.5 million. Analysts were looking for a healthier profit of 66 cents per share on $306 million in revenue. Short sellers increased their bearish exposure by 11.9% in the last two reporting periods, and short interest now accounts for 12.1% of the stock's float.
Hot Topic (HOTT - 9.88) swung to a first-quarter profit of $3.8 million, or 9 cents per share, while revenue rose by 6.4% to $171.5 million -- the latter boosted by a 7.5% increase in same-store sales. Analysts, on average, had expected earnings of 8 cents per share on sales of $171.6 million. Short-term calls were preferred on HOTT ahead of earnings, with the stock's Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio resting at 0.30.
Earnings and Economic Data
Today's round-up includes weekly jobless claims , the Philadelphia Fed's manufacturing index, and the Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators. Wall Street can expect earnings reports from Dollar Tree ( DLTR ), GameStop (GME) , The Gap (GPS), Applied Materials (AMAT) , Aruba Networks (ARUN), Autodesk (ADSK) , Marvell Technology Group (MRVL), Intuit (INTU) , Aeropostale (ARO), Advance Auto Parts (AAP) , The Children's Place Retail Stores (PLCE), Pacific Sunwear (PSUN) , Brocade Communications Systems (BRCD), and Salesforce.com (CRM) .
Overseas Trading
Stocks in Asia ended mostly higher today, despite reports that the European Central Bank (ECB) has stopped offering liquidity to several undercapitalized Greek banks. Instead, traders focused on data showing that Japan's economy expanded by a stronger-than-forecast 1% during the first quarter, which helped equities recover from the previous session's steep losses. By the close, China's Shanghai Composite advanced 1.4%, Japan's Nikkei tacked on 0.9%, South Korea's Kospi rose 0.3%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.3%.
On the other hand, the major European indexes are firmly in the red at midday. A report on gross domestic product (GDP) showed Spain's economy shrinking during the first quarter, and yields on the country's 10-year notes jumped north of 6% during a debt auction. Meanwhile, shares of newly nationalized lender Bankia plummeted amid news of massive customer withdrawals. At last look, both the London FTSE 100 and the French CAC 40 are down 1.5%, while the German DAX has declined 1.3%.

Relay for Life set for Friday
DeKalb Countians will rally in the fight against cancer during the 12th annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life Friday, May 8th at Greenbrook Park.
More than 30 Relay for Life teams will be set up offering food and lots of fun filled activities. A large silent auction will also be held.
Over $100,000 was raised last year.
In this overnight family-oriented event, participants walk relay-style around the track and take part in fun activities off the track. Cancer survivors will take center stage around 6:00 p.m.during the opening ceremony to receive medallions and to give a personal testimony as to just how long they've been a survivor.
The walking track will also be lined with luminaria in honor or remembrance of those who have battled cancer. This ceremony of light symbolizes the hope and courage with which we all continue to fight cancer
Chris Summers, Community Representative with the American Cancer Society says "Relay For Life is a unique opportunity for our community to come together to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember those we've lost, and fight back against the disease. Many of the participants are cancer survivors."
Funds raised at Relay For Life will enable the American Cancer Society to support local services and resources for cancer patients and their families. Funds also support critical cancer research and community education programs designed to teach people how to reduce their risk of developing cancer.
For more information, please contact Ivadell Randolph at 597-5296

Despite claims, NOT compatible with Vista 64-bit
I was excited to find this product because, to date, there is not a single USB device on the market for capturing analog video into a 64-bit Windows Vista system, other than one product by Pinnacle called the Moviebox which SUPPOSEDLY works but which adds unnecessary functions beyond the scope of video capture (e.g., Firewire interface). Simply put, after going through this with Avermedia technical support, I can verify that the product does NOT work on a Vista 64-bit operating system (which is the current flagship of the computer world). So if that's your setup, do not make my mistake and get misled by the product packaging/documentation. It doesn't work.

2002 Ford Focus problem
Posted in the Ford Focus Forum
United States
#1 Nov 30, 2006
I bought my 2002 Ford Focus in July and the past couple months I have been having problems with it. When it gets cold, it has problems starting. It wont turn over at all. I have battery power, the radio and lights and everything turn on but it wont turn over. Does anyone have any advice for me? Please....:)

I have an 01 focus and my car does the same problem and i got mine in may. if you figure out the problem please let me know. i have replaced my battery, iac, pcv hose, egr valuve, mass airflow sensor and it still won't start when cold
#4 Dec 19, 2006
I have a 2002 Ford Focus too. It's had two different problems turning on! At first the key lock cylinder thing broke so you couldn't even turn the key, and now the car just won't turn on and it's also been a new problem. At first it worked to jiggle the shift (it's an automatic), and then you had to really jam it hard. The idea is to make sure that it's on park. However after a while it gets harder to do it like that and now it just doesn't work. Ford Focuses are crap.
#5 Dec 20, 2006
Well James, you may have a bad thermostat,it's probably stuck in the open position.When that happens the coolant is constantly being circulated thru the radiator which will take a long time to heat up and will probably just get warm not hot.The thermostat needs to open and close.When the engines cold it should be closed to keep the water from going to the radiator which will heat it up,then when the water temp gets to a specific temp it opens to allow circulation to the rad to cool it.On some cars there may even be other drivability prblems as well because the engine sensors are picking up the low temp and try to compensate for it.The best way to check it is to take it out,look under it to see if it is open(by now it should be closed cause your not going to work on a hot motor)if it's closed put it in boiling water for a couple minuets take it out and see if it now opened up.If it's stuck shut your probably going to overheat because it won't circulate.But by the time you do all this it's just as easy to buy a new thermostat and gasket and just replace it.They're not to expensive,under twenty bucks.
#6 Dec 20, 2006
Hi Lisa.I noticed your post and one other with the same problem as well.You both said the cars are around 01 and 02,right?You also said the batt voltage is okay and that the lights and all work fine.Does the car start okay when the outside temp is warm?If it does and the problem only happens when it gets cold outside you probably need a new battery.Besides having the correct volts to start the car you also need the correct amps.As batterys get old(and I'm guessing these are the original)the cold cranking amps get weaker.In the summer you'll have no problem because it does'nt take as many amps to turn over the warmer engine,but when it gets cold it puts more of a strain on the battery to crank over.To check this for sure without buying an expensive battery you have two options.First,buy(or if you know someone with one borrow)a battery tester.It's a rectangular metal box with what looks like jumper cables on it.These clamp onto the battery and will tell you the current voltage.On the bottom is a switch you push over and hold for ten seconds.This is what tells you how good the battery actually is.The needle will move by putting a draw on the batt and there are different ranges it moves to.After releasing the switch,the needle should somewhat quickly move to the normal/okay range.If it does'nt or is slow you need a new batt.Or just go to an automotive store like advance or autozone and they can check it for you for free.
#7 Dec 20, 2006
Hey Nicki.Does your problem happen when the outside temp is cold or when the car is cold from not running for a while like sitting overnight or when your shopping in target or wherever you come out after a couple hours and it won't start?If it's the first one make sure you replaced the battery with one that has the proper cold cranking amps(cca)listed on the battery.Sometimes the less expensive batterys won't be rated high enough.We all hate having to pay $80.00 for a batt and try to get away with a cheaper $40.00 one sometimes.Don't assume the mechanic knows what he's talking about,remember he wants to make money and what better way then repeat business?If it's the later,it may be a fuel problem.Have you replaced the fuel filter?Somtimes with dirt in the filter it'll settle while sitting then when you crank it it pulls the dirt trapping/blocking off the flow,while it's warm it sometimes stays suspended for a while.I know it sounds crazy.You may want to have someone check the fuel pressure to the injectors and the timing.I say timing because the crankshaft sensor sends info to the computer which tells it how and when to send fuel and spark.Ain't computer controlled cars great?!
#8 Dec 27, 2006
own a tdci 06 ghia focus, and I have the same problem as well... When it gets cold, it first starts, then after 15-20 seconds, the egine stops.And it's repeatable. A ckp sensor error, which is changed 3 times is shown evetytime. They had so much tests but could not find the problem...
For god's sake. What could it be?
A man named Gary McClean says the solution is a imv valve changing.Can it be right. I could't make my dealer to believe this.
Is there anyone who solved this problem. If there is please contact me....

I am sitting my house right now because of the cold temperatures and my 2002 Focus won't start either. This is only the second time that it has happened but it is also one of the few times that it has been cold in North Texas. I'll take Rich's advice about the Battery and let you all know how it works out.

You have probably "lost" your antenna. An AM station is much easier to pick up and you caould have no antenna hooked up & still pick up AM stations. I have noticed on my '02 Focus that the foam around the spring mount at the base of the antenna is drying out and starting to crack. That could lead to coinnection issuses eventualy. That's where I'd start anyways.

Well, Joni. I just replaced the spark plugs on my car. And I had the same issue. Considering this is a 2003, your spark plug wires are probably due for a swap as well. I managed to break the internal part of my spark plug wire. And this will definitely make for a very rough idle and aweful acceleration. Spark plug sets generally run between $30 to $100 depending on the number of cylinders and quality you are looking for. Also, if you did a tune-up... I'm guessing you may have done an oil change as well. If you added any additives to you oil for mileage you may be slugging up your oil system. That can also cause problems since your valves wont be closing fast enough. I would try swapping spark plug wires if I were you. Just tugging alone on old wires can detroy them.

Hi Lisa, I have been having the same problem with my focus. What do you do to get the car going? Any tricks to make it start? Would love to hear them.

I have a 2001 Focus ZX3. Battery light comes on after 10 mins of driving. Cycles on/off every 5 or 10 minutes after. Here's the fun part, replaced: Battery, Alternator, All Battery/ground cables. Tested and made sure the field wires have good connection with the PCM. WHAT NEXT?? New PCM, that won't be cheap. I'm tempted to dump the car in the river. If anyone knows what's up, let me know!!

Whether the government will reduce borrowing in the next fiscal year is too close to call, but economists say its resolve to cut spending and giveaways in next week's budget will reignite investor confidence.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram will deliver the annual budget on February 28, his last full Budget before the country goes to the polls early next year.
Increased spending on social welfare and other benefits has been commonplace in Indian Budgets for many years. But analysts say the tone of this Budget will be different, steering clear of populist measures even this close to an election.
"In view of this particular election, oddly enough, there may be political ground to be made on stressing that the government is keeping with its fiscal consolidation goal," said Vishnu Varathan, economist at Mizuho Corporate Bank.
Indeed, officials involved in Budget preparations said the Finance Ministry plans to slash the public spending target by up to 10 per cent in the new fiscal year, which would make it the most austere budget in recent times.
Chidambaram has already slashed public expenditure in the current fiscal year to March by some 9 per cent from the original target.
In a Reuters poll, conducted between February14-21, 19 of 23 economists expected the Budget to help bring in foreign investment.
Almost as many, 18, predicted the focus of Chidambaram's Budget speech will be on slashing subsidies and government handouts.
Eighteen said they expect spending cuts to mainly focus on fuel subsidies and defence. India's fuel subsidy bill swelled by almost 73 per cent in 2011-2012, compared to the previous year, while defence allocation rose 18 per cent in the last budget.
The poll also predicted the Finance Ministry will axe spending on rural development and food subsidies.
"This will not be a common man's budget simply because there is very little room for that," said Jyotinder Kaur, economist at HDFC Bank.
India's fiscal deficit target now stands at a revised 5.3 percent of GDP this fiscal year. Chidambaram has said he wants to get that down to 4.8 percent in 2013/14.
Economists in the poll were split on the chances of overall government borrowing in 2013/14 being reduced from 5.7 trillion Indian rupees ($105 billion) in 2012/13.
Once considered a rising star in Asia, the Indian economy has lost its shine in recent years. Preliminary estimates released earlier this month showed growth dwindled to an annual 5 per cent rate in the current

The 80-piece orchestra played an otherworldly array of sounds through the concert hall.
Some songs are quaint and slow-burning. Others are snazzy and up-tempo. The sounds developed slowly, hints of xylophone, Asian string instruments and mournful trumpet. Percussion gallops in and out of the melody.
But only one man controlled the music.
Composer Pierre Bastien built the mechanized music-maker, which he named Mecanium, out of electric motors, acoustic instruments and Meccano girders, brackets and hardware.
Watch the machinery
What: Musical Machinery Performance with Pierre Bastien
When: 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday
Where: Clowes Auditorium, the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library central branch, 40 E. St. Clair St., downtown
What'll happen: Experimental instrument builder and sound installation artist Pierre Bastien comes to Indianapolis from France for a unique performance that blends live trumpet sounds with screen projections of on-site, mechanical sound sculptures built by Bastien.
Cost: Free
Create your own
What: Musical Machinery Workshop with Pierre Bastien
When: 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday
Where: Big Car Service Center, 3819 Lafayette Road, Indianapolis
Why: Learn how to create your own mechanical instruments and orchestral contraptions in this hands-on workshop with French composer and sound installation artist Pierre Bastien.
Cost: Free
Bastien has shaped his career around envisioning, building and playing pieced-together musical machinery. His concerts are part performance art, part live-action engineering show. Large screens display the working parts on screen, letting people see how each sound is made.
"Slowly, I realized if I didn't have my own style as an instrumentalist, thanks to the machines, I had a proper style in music. So by playing with machines, I've constructed some originality," he said. "Thanks to the machines, I can play something more or less unique."
Bastien will perform 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Clowes Auditorium in the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library central branch. He'll lead a workshop on building mechanical music machines from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Big Car Service Center in Indianapolis as well. The appearance has been arranged by the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art.
Bastien's love for creating musical instruments started when he was a teenager, what he calls "rioting against his metronome."
He was learning to play the guitar, and doing so, the tick-tock of the metronome helped him keep rhythm. That repetitive sound grated on Bastien's nerves, so he attached pans from his kitchen, putting them on either side of the metronome.
"Instead of the tick-tock sound, which is anti-musical, it made a more 'bing-boop' noise that was much more pleasant," he said.
More complicated machinery came a few years later when he was working as a professional musician out of France's University of Paris-Sorbonne.
While he was helping his parents move, he discovered an old Meccano set, the vintage model construction toys. He was inspired to make a machine that would play music alongside him at his guitar concerts.
That machine would grow to become Bastien's Mecanium.
"The main interest in doing this was to get an orchestra. When you're a young musician and you make music, you don't have an orchestra to begin with. A young musician plays with friends and colleagues," he said. "But it's quite difficult to impose your music that way."
His creations grew more more complex and more bizarre. With a push of a button, a blower would turn on and buzz across long sheets of paper to make a particular sound. Gears and metal arms would push violin bows or pluck strings.
Often, he'd incorporate foreign instruments such as the Indian banjo or a lute from China.
"I was surrounding the instrument with what looked like a crane. The crane would beat the percussion instrument or would rub with the bow or pluck the strings of the instrument," he said. "While I have plenty of traditional music instruments, I like the shapes and the tones of those other instruments."
The music feels organic compared to many overproduced digital effects found in much of today's music, said Shauta Marsh, executive director of the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art.
The songs lilt and meander, following a loop of rhythm and tone but adding in enough unique aspects. Often, Bastien will play a pocket trombone or kazoo along with the machine's performance.
"In some mechanical music, the aim of the composer is to play more than a human being. It can play 88 keys on a piano at the same time. It's easy to play plenty of notes very fast and complicated more than a pianist would play," he said. "Instead, my machines play less than a human being. They're homemade, they're reliable but don't use too much technology. I'm trying to play music that's not complicated, that's understandable."
His work also functions as modern art installations.
"Paper Organs" featured a series of organs connected to blowers. Every time an organ note would play, a different blower would turn on, forcing a piece of paper to shake wildly in the air.
The effect was a haunting musical performance enhanced by the crisp shaking of blowing paper.
Bastien has played in music festivals around the world, including World Music Days in Norway, Sound Symposium in Canada and the U.S.'s Flea Festival. His unique approach to music has earned him fans ranging from British singer Robert Wyatt, fashion designer Issey Miyake, the Trottola circus company and contemporary electro-artist Aphex Twin.
"What I notice is these little machines are charming, and people relate to them very well," he said.

Custom Seat Frame Build - Grab A SeatWritten by on February 1, 2007 Scratch-Building A Custom Seat Frame
You have a few options when it comes time to figure out what you're going to use for a seat in your hot rod project. You can try to resurrect your original seat (if you still have it). You can scrounge the wrecking yards looking for something close and then modify it to fit your particular ride. You can buy a nice new seat from one of the companies advertising here in R&C. Or, if you have a hot rod that might not be able to use an off-the-shelf seat and you like to do things your own way, you can build it from scratch. That's what I did.
I chopped the top of my '32 Ford pickup 4 1/2 inches and channeled it 6 inches, which left me with almost no headroom and very little legroom. What I needed was a seat that was extremely low and compact, but I wanted it to be comfortable too. I also wanted to make the seat with kind of a traditional look so it would match the style of the rest of the truck. So I set out to make a bench seat from scratch using modern "no-sag" springs for a soft, smooth ride, and shape the seat and springs to cradle me in comfort.
I figured on using about 2 to 3 inches of foam, since good-quality foam rubber compresses about 50 percent when you sit on it, so I designed the springs to be about 1 1/2 inches lower than where I want to be when I sit at ride height. I also took into consideration the fact that the no-sag springs would flex down with my weight on them, so that put the bottom dip of the seat springs only inches off the floor. Luckily, I built the floor with a recessed area right under the seat so I'd have a little extra space before bottoming out.
The cramped interior in this truck forced my knees up high so I needed much more thigh support than I would in a car with lots of legroom. It turns out you also need more support rolling up the back of your tailbone when your knees are up high, otherwise it feels like you're sitting on a hard, flat floor. So what I needed was a deep bucket-shaped bench seat. The foam can be contoured to fine tune the shape of the seat later, but getting the support structure shaped to fit comfortably seemed to be the best way to wind up with a comfortable seat. If I can make it comfortable to sit on without foam or upholstery, then I know it will really be comfortable when it's all done.

I chopped up some lighter .065-inch-wall, .75x.75-inch tubing to make the seat back. This angle clamp made it easy to weld the mitered corners at the top of the seat back.I butt welded the seat back frame to the tops of the rear sides of the base. Diagonal braces will be added next to give it more support.Before going too far, I piled 1 1/2-inch-thick wood slats onto the dipped seat frame to simulate 3 inches of foam after compressing and then had my son Max check the seating position and comfort so far.Once I was sure what slope I wanted for the seat back, I welded in the lower horizontal tube for it. The lower horizontal tube needed to be spaced up high enough to allow for the built-up layers of foam that will make up the bottom cushion.The nine-gauge no-sag spring material comes off the roll pre-curved. A 110ft roll of it cost me $30. I used these tools by C.S. Osborne & Co. to reshape the springs as necessary.I used 5/16-inch-diameter cold-rolled steel rod bent on a Harbor Freight bender to define the curved corners and the overhang at the front edge of the seat.I used more 5/16-inch cold-rolled steel rod to define the shape of the seat back along the top and corners, tapering it gradually at the lower ends.After seeing a picture of a professional "spring kinker" tool, I made this tool myself out of some scraps of bar stock and a grooved aluminum disc.
I straightened out the first four loops of each spring so they would have the contour I wanted when they were pulled to fit the seat opening.Thinner 11-gauge springs were used for the back cushion and mounted the same way. I straightened out the top four loops of each back spring, which made the upper part flatter but left the lower part arched to give better lumbar support.I didn't like how the front lower edge of the seat looked so high off the floor, so I added more 5/16-inch rod to redefine the lower front corner of the seat.I cut 5/16-inch od .050-inch-wall steel tubing into a bunch of 7/8-inch-long pieces to make the spring anchors.Here's the seat with all the springs installed and trial-fit back in the cab. It was actually nice and comfy, even with bare springs.After bead blasting the seat and shooting it with two coats of Zero Rust flat black paint, the seat frame was done. Total cost: about $100 and three days of work.
