This is a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee. During this cold spell, while using the heater, I smell inside the car, what smells like antifreeze. I cannot swear that it is antifreeze, it just smells like it. This has been true for about six weeks. However, I am NOT losing any coolant. I have also checked under the hood, dash, etc, and I don't see any signs of leaking. Even if there were a leak that I cannot see, I would think that my coolant level would go down some after all this time.
Any ideas why I smell this ??
Thanks !!

Look real close at the heater hoses where they connect to the block. And check for any pinholes. (generally you have to wait till the engine is up to temperature and the system has pressure.
A little leak pissing on the engine block will give you that smell. And it won't drop enough (initially) to be noticable.
Either heater core or heater hoses. Run the defroster on a cold day, see if the windows develop a greasy film, sure sign of a leaking heater core. If not, Doug's idea of checking the heater hoses in the back is a good plan. The leak sends antifreeze vapor up to the air intake at the base of the windshield.

Yes you are, you just don't notice it yet. <g> Heater core is leaking, I've had some good luck with Bars Leak, and the GM tabs, both of which can give a year or more life to the core.
In most cases that would point to a leak, possibly very slight, but leak none the less in the heater core which is basically a miniature radiator under the dash.. It would be leaking at all times when running, but when running the heater you are blowing air through the heater core carrying the smell of even a minute coolant leak into the cab.

I don't believe it. I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee and have the same exact problem. Also, now the heat on the passenger side doesn't work. the defroster on that side doesn't work either. I am sure it is all connected.
I have heard this is a common problem with this model and years. My son's friend had to have new heater core put in his Jeep at a tune of $900.00
my business is still sucking during this recovery, dud, so can not afford a big out lay of money right now. I have looked in the manual but can't really tell where to begin to get to the heater core. Also, was wondering whether some rad leak stop would seal it for awhile, but still have the problem with a heater vent or something not opening to the passenger side. Could it be in the switch as opposed to a mechanical problem.
I have to tell you, I am not happy with this car, every six months or so we are dropping 700.00 to 1200.00 into it. Every time I get it fixed I want to sell it but the old lady resist letting me sell it.
Any advise regarding the jeep would be greatly appreciated, don't need advise with the other problem, have more time in with the old lady than the jeep.

Without a/c, it's fairly simple but tedious. With a/c, you got a real project on your hands. One simple test (altho your sympthoms don't leave much doubt) is to go to Harbor Freight or other tool shop and buy a simple radiator tester. That will pump up pressure on the system and you can watch to see if it leaks down - be sure to do this cold or temp changes will skew the readings. As for the vents opening, check for a vacuum leak. I was able to reach the plastic arm that controls the flappers on my old clunker to replace it when it broke but the old translation of JEEP is still "Just Empty Every Pocket".
BTW, I've had to replace heater cores on vehicles after 5 years. Changing the coolant every couple of years is the cheap preventative as old fluid gets pretty darned acidic.

In the first public criticism of the newly released "Jewish Community Study of New York: 2011," a leading demographer is raising questions about the report's methodology and data, as well as the validity of its findings.
Len Saxe, director of the Steinhardt Social Research Institute and the Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies at Brandeis University, says that while he agrees with the findings that show the Jewish population of New York has increased, he believes much of the overall picture is inaccurate. He claims that the study overestimates the Orthodox numbers and underestimates the non-Orthodox.
"Key outcomes of the study don't seem to reconcile with 'hard,' non-survey data," Saxe told The Jewish Week.
The study, commissioned by UJA-Federation of New York and released last month, found that Orthodox Jews make up 32 percent of the Jewish community of the five boroughs, Long Island and Westchester; that 37 percent of Jews define themselves as "Just Jewish"; and that the Reform and Conservative movements each lost about 40,000 members since the last New York study a decade ago.
The survey also found that 20 percent of those in Jewish households are poor.
The widely reported findings set off a number of communal and media responses that voiced concern with the direction of a community that appears to be moving increasingly Orthodox in one direction and secular in the other direction, with the center falling out.
But if Saxe's analysis is correct, the numbers of Orthodox could be significantly less than the 493,000 claimed in the survey. And the non-Orthodox population could be significantly larger than the study reports.
Saxe said he did not want to launch another round of disputes between and among demographers, which has become a common occurrence after the release of major Jewish population studies. He and Steven M. Cohen, a sociologist and one of the authors of the UJA-Federation study, have clashed in the past over methodology. Saxe tends to have more optimistic views about the size and vitality of the American Jewish community, while Cohen is generally more concerned about the impact of intermarriage and assimilation.
This week Saxe was guarded in his criticism of the UJA-Federation study, preferring to raise "anomalies" about the study rather than express outright criticism.
One apparent inconsistency he raised focused on the figures for the number of Orthodox children, age 5 to 17, in day schools.
The study reported the figure at 145,000 in the five boroughs, Long Island and Westchester. Saxe, citing the 2008-2009 report for the Avi Chai Foundation authored by Marvin Schick, a consultant for the foundation and an acknowledged expert on day school population figures, says there are far fewer: about 100,000.
But Schick himself, interviewed on Tuesday, says he believes the most accurate figure would be somewhere in the middle, about 120,000.
"Saxe is right that the UJA-Federation study's numbers are way too high, but his numbers are too low," Schick said. He cited an "apples and oranges" factor in the difference between the number of day school students who attend schools in the eight-county area of New York, which he believes to be about 100,000, and the number of day school students who live in the same eight-county area, which he estimates to be 120,000.
Schick said the New York State Department of Education figures on day school enrollment are reliable and are "totally compatible with mine."
Another indication that the UJA-Federation study's numbers are inflated, according to Schick, is that the report says there are 3,000 Reform children in New York day schools, which he says is "impossible."
Saxe says the discrepancy between the UJA-Federation study — which reports 145,000 day school students — and his 100,000 figure, based on research by Schick, New York State and others, "is far greater than could be attributed to a sampling error."
He believes the study not only overestimates the day school enrollment but underestimates the number of Birthright Israel alumni in New York, raising "a broader question about the reliability of the community survey data."
The report refers to 11,000 non-Orthodox New York alumni of Birthright, the free Israel trips for those ages 18 to 26. Saxe, who oversees numerous studies of Birthright alumni, says the more accurate number is 50,000.
But Cohen said the 11,000 number refers to "the weighted projection number" the researchers factored in, and that they estimate there are about 45,000 Birthright alumni in New York, basically consistent with Saxe's numbers. Cohen said there might be some adjustments required regarding day school enrollment and other specific numbers in the in-depth study, but that overall he is confident that "the main contours of our findings" are solid.
"As a social scientist, I approach this work with a sense of humility," said Cohen, adding that he welcomes input from Saxe and others in the field.
He said the full data would be released as soon as possible after the final two reports related to the survey are released.
"Every 10 years, demographers debate the methodologies employed and the findings of population studies," noted John Ruskay, executive vice president and CEO of UJA-Federation. "We welcome the continued effort to understand and refine both the numbers and the implications of the recently released 'Jewish Community Study of New York.' That remains one of our objectives: to provide a basis to better understand where we are today and how we can most effectively strengthen the Jewish future."
If, when the full data is released, Saxe's criticisms are born out, it might prove embarrassing to UJA-Federation regarding its methodology. But Saxe's theory, that the Orthodox were overreported and the non-Orthodox were underreported, would underscore that the outreach and Jewish identity projects sponsored by the federation were more successful, perhaps, than initially thought.

Comment Guidelines
The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
The incompetence of UJA is beyond comprehension. The comments of a respected scientist notwithstanding, the results of the study don't make any sense. Unless UJA can demonstrate that the findings match reality -- like the number of day school students -- they should withdraw the study and find a way to get their $1.7 million back.
Once again the Jewish Week gives Mr. Saxe a free, uncritical platform, no matter if Saxe is releasing a report of his own or critiquing someone else's.
Mr. Rosenblatt--you are an excellent probing journalist. Keep up your good work, but keep this in mind the next time Mr. Saxe is seeking a headline.
I have examined both Len Saxe's studies and Steven Cohen's studies in the past and have found that Steven Cohen's studies are consistently more reliable than Saxes. One example was in a study of Birthright alumni - Saxe exagerated the decrease of intermarriage amongst alumni of Birthright. Anyone can go to www.bjpa.org which is the Berman Jewish Policy Archive and see many articles by both of these social scientists and compare the quality between the two. I have a strong opinion about which sociologist is more reliable but I invite anyone reading this to go to that site and draw their own conclusions. (Please note i have nothing against Len Saxe i just think Steven does better research.)

Camping Recipe: Tomato Feta Pasta SaladFebruary 2, 2014
I'm a planner. I like to have 80% of my meals ready to go before we leave the house. Which means most of my camping recipes are pre-made. That's where this tomato feta pasta salad comes in. You can make it a few days before you head out and you have a great lunch ready with little work when the time comes. Pasta salad is also really great because it is so changeable. If you don't like one (or all) of the ingredients you can change them to fit you and your family's taste.
- 2 cups spiral pasta
- 1/4 cup olives, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 2/3 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained & chopped
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomato dressing
- 1/2 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- Cook your pasta according to the package directions. Drain well and cool.
- Combine all of your ingredients in a large sealable container. Mix together. Keep cool until you are ready to eat.
Simple as pie! Or… um… pasta! Cook-Toss-Enjoy! If there is too much (or too little) of an ingredient you can just put more in or leave some out. Some other great add in's that we have also used are roasted red peppers, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls instead of feta, and asparagus. Next time I think I'll stick with fresh spinach instead of the parsley. It was still good, but we are spinach lovers.
This is great for other occasions too. Not just camping. This is my go-to recipe for barbeques and pot lucks. The bowl is always left practically empty and the recipe is exchanged through emails after. If you decided to use this as a dinner option I would add a little shredded chicken. That way you get a more filling dish. Or use this as a side to go along with one of the many tin foil dinners I have coming up next week!

Where did Moyes utilise Fellaini at Everton?
Last season 28 of Fellaini's 31 appearances came as a second striker or attacking midfielder with just three coming as a central/deeper midfield player. What we can conclude from this is that, at least at Everton, Moyes saw Fellaini as a forward player, rather than a defensive-minded one. Everton were regularly seen aiming long balls or crosses into the box at Fellaini, who would act as a target man to bring the ball down and either shoot or try and bring another player into play.
In this position Fellaini was relatively effective, scoring 11 times and getting five assists. Generally speaking he was a handful for opposition defenders and goalkeepers with his bullish style of play.
Below is a look at Fellaini's action areas from Everton's 3-1 victory over Reading, a game in which Fellaini scored in:
Fellaini as a central midfielder
With Shinji Kagawa, Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck all capable of playing as the second striker/attacking midfielder in United's set-up, it seems incredibly unlikely that Moyes will use Fellaini as an advanced player. Instead he'll likely come into the side as a central midfielder alongside Michael Carrick.
This season Roberto Marinez has played Fellaini in this central midfield position. Fellaini has dropped deeper and as such has been enjoying more of the ball than he did last season, averaging 73.3 passes per game at an accuracy of 89% ( a vast improvement on last seasons 52.3 passes per game and 79% accuracy). Against Cardiff this was also notable with Fellaini attempting 66 passes:
Fellaini has also been very combative this season, which bodes well for Manchester United fans. The big Belgian has won 4.3 tackles per game (vastly more than Carrick or Tom Cleverley) at an impressive 85% success rate:
When he was used as a central midfielder last season he committed a lot of fouls, around 2.6 per game, more than any other Premier League player. This has important implications for Fellaini as a central midfielder, especially in a deeper role, as he is prone to a rash tackle and regularly fouls opponents who get past him. This season we can also see that he is fouling too regularly, something that he must improve at United, or he will risk giving away cheap free-kicks and being booked unnecessarily.
Whilst Fellaini can provide an option as a second striker/attacking midfielder, it appears very unlikely that he'll do this at Manchester United. He can provide a 'Plan B' as a long ball option in tighter games, something that the Old Trafford faithful might not take kindly to.
On the whole however, he'll be competing with Tom Cleverley for a place alongside Michael Carrick. Fellaini isn't the fastest player but he is combative and can win the ball (as he's already shown this season for Everton in his three outings). The worry will be his tendency to give away a lot of fouls: if he wants to be a hit at United he will have to improve his disciplinary record.
If he can continue to dominate the midfield, by winning tackles and continuing to show an improved pass accuracy, then there is no reason why he cannot succeed at United, regardless of whether he was the fans' top choice or not.

Fiction has long been obsessed with the concept of alternate realities and parallel universes. After all, what's better than one fascinating fictional world? Another that's even more far-out and fantastic!
2015 saw the two largest comic book companies, Marvel and DC, make alternate realities the focus of their blockbuster summer crossovers. Marvel is currently using Secret Wars to consolidate its many variant timelines into a single, unified Marvel Universe, while Convergence undid DC's Crisis On Infinite Earths, bringing back the many realities that DC did away with in the '80's.
And, with Marvel's Ant-Man using the Quantum Realm to open the door to other realities on film – a door that may be crossed in the upcoming Doctor Strange, and a return to Grant Morrison's reality-spanning series Multiversity in his recently announced comic book Multiversity Too, alternate realities are once again becoming a hot topic in comic books and genre fiction.
So, with all that in mind, we're celebrating ten of the best alternate realities in all of fiction.
Albert Ching contributed to an earlier version of this article.
NBC's Community opens our list, with an alternate reality that has only existed for a few minutes of TV time.
So what makes it worthy of inclusion? Well, it was a memorable first three minutes of existence, as Troy going downstairs to get pizza in season three episode "Remedial Chaos Theory" proved to be much more fateful than you might think.
A chain reaction led to what Abed would later dub the "darkest, most terrible timeline" of the several alternate realities presented in that episode – Pierce is dead, Annie is in a mental institution, Shirley is a drunk, Jeff lost his arm, Troy lost his larynx, and Britta... has a blue streak in her hair.
It was funny (and surprisingly high-minded for a network sitcom), but its true influence is in what came later: What was essentially a throwaway gag became a rallying cry for fans and press when the show was dropped by NBC before being picked up for a sixth season on Yahoo Screen. Observers concluded the news must signify that we are indeed living in the "darkest timeline," and rabid viewers applied felt goatees to their Twitter avatars (and sometimes, their own visages) in a sign of solidarity and protest.
Evil Abed eventually made his way briefly into the "Prime" timeline, and a memorable moment (there weren't many of them) in Season 4 saw the timeline revisited.
How do you get Havok out of the shadow of his big brother Cyclops? Move him to his own reality of course!
From 1999-2001, Havok was the leader of the premiere super hero team of mutants, albeit on an alternate Earth. In a series written by Howard Mackie, Alex Summers from Earth-616, the main Marvel Universe, nearly died, at precisely the same moment as Alex Summers from Earth-1298 was shot and killed. Our Havok's spirit went into theirs and helped him survive (yay comic books!) and found himself as the leader of that world's mutant heroes after the X-Men were killed/made into vampires, dubbed "The Six."
Storm was a vampire, The Beast was the Brute, a frog/lizard/demon instead of an ape/cat person, Warren Worthington III breathed fire, and Havok was married to Madelyne Pryor, even having their own kid! Oh, she was also crazy and killed Spider-Man's clone and Green Goblin and possessed the Beyonder. Oh clones, you so cray.
What really made this series awesome, however, was that Havok was the full-on leader of the premiere hero team in this universe. He got to be the team leader over a Captain America. He got to show the world what he could do, taking down universal level threats ultimately nearly alone. This series showed just what Havok could do without Scott Summers looking over his shoulder, and for fans of the character, it was fantastic.
Unfortunately there's no real hope of going back to the Mutant X earth – it didn't even appear as one of the many realities of Secret Wars's Battleworld. But those issues, should you track them down, are full of a lot of fun, and a lot of straight up wacky ideas and interpretations of the Marvel Universe's classics.
The Fringe Division of the FBI examines events and crimes that happen on the fringe of the science we all know. Science fiction becomes science fact as the team tries to make sense of the nonsensical and explain the unexplainable.
The Fringe Division of the FBI "Over There" is a high-level branch controlled directly by the Department of Defense and is alternately respected and feared, and is the frontline in a coming war with the reality that, they are convinced, is slowly destroying them.
That's the surprising real plot to the Fox science fiction series Fringe, which is centered on the concept of alternate realities, keystones, cause-and-effect, and just how wrong things can go because of simple decisions. Since introducing the idea of the alternate world known just as "Over There" (not to mention such wonderful names for doppelgangers as "Fauxlivia" for Olivia and "Walternate" for Walter's alternate), things got even crazier. We eventually saw a new 3rd reality that had its own fourth "over there."
Fringe didn't only borrow alternate realities from comics (amongst other sci-fi/fantasy in other mediums of course). A race of bald beings sworn to only watch the major events and players throughout time known as Observers take in everything happening in all these realities... and step in to help our heroes, breaking their vow, from time to time. Sound familiar, Marvel fans?
Regardless, "Over There" in Fringe is one of the coolest alternate universes around for one simple reason: copious amounts of zeppelins.
Truth, justice – in Soviet Russia.
The 2003 miniseries Superman: Red Son presented one of the simplest, yet most engaging high concepts in comic book history: What if Superman, long a symbol of American pride, was raised in the Soviet Union instead of a farm in Kansas?
Writer Mark Millar, the man behind Wanted and Kick-Ass, was joined by artists Dave Johnson and Kilian Plunkett for the story, which replaced the Man of Steel's trademark "S" shield with a hammer and sickle, and incorporated bits of real history along with the superhero fantasy.
Red Son was one of DC's many "Elseworlds" stories, which have provided many intriguing alternate realities, such as Batman as a vampire (Batman & Dracula: Red Reign) and a world where Superman never made it to Earth (JLA: The Nail).
You know what they say, "be careful what you wish for." Unfortunately Cordelia didn't think that one through too much on this Season 3 episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fortunately, her foolish word choice created one of the best alternate timelines ever. It created the timeline where Willow is a Vampire, and Vampire Willow was so awesome she got her own focused episode, "Doppelgangland."
Thanks to Vampire Willow, we got lines like "Bored now..." and "I think I'm kinda gay!" (significant because Willow does, in fact, figure out that she's gay later in the series). We also saw Willow come out of her shell, and cemented Anya's role in the Scooby gang significantly via this pair of episodes.
On Earth 3, everything is backwards. Alexander Luthor is the greatest (and only) hero in the world. Characters that look familiar are certainly not the people you expect them to be. Superman becomes the ruthless killer Ultraman. Batman is Owlman, the brilliant strategist who uses his skill to help his team rule over all. Power Ring, Johnny Quick, Superwoman and more doppelgangers populate this world, and, as the Crime Syndicate of America, are the world's greatest villains.
Earth 3 is great for the other ultimate power fantasy: if you had ultimate power and no conscience, what could you do? Seeing evil versions of our favorite heroes (at least in doses) is always fun, and has led to some truly classic stories by the likes of Grant Morrison and Dwayne McDuffie.
In the crossover Forever Evil, the Crime Syndicate resurfaced in the New 52 as denizens of a world that was destroyed by a mysterious entity, revealed as the Anti-Monitor, who conquered most of the DC's prime Earth before being defeated by Lex Luthor and a cabal of other villains.
Legion thought he knew the best way to make his father, Professor Xavier, proud - traveling back in time and killing the megalomaniacal mutant Magneto.
Only problem is, he actually ended up killing Professor X himself, meaning he never founded the X-Men and the world itself greatly suffered for it.
Part of a proud line of dystopian futures in the Marvel Universe, the world of "Age of Apocalypse" was grim, with the ancient mutant Apocalypse bending much of the world to his whim. Magneto actually ended up founding the X-Men in this timeline, who struggled to fight the good fight against seemingly insurmountable odds.
The Age of Apocalypse took over all of Marvel's X-titles for four months in 1995, with each getting a new title and new numbering before reverting back to their old positions at the conclusion of the story.
That alone makes it one of the most sweeping alternate realities in comic book history, but it's also proven to endure, with several follow-up series in recent years leading to an ongoing title set in the timeline, Age of Apocalypse, that has since come and gone, but stayed around long enough to actually spawn spin-offs and another crossover of its own. A version of the "Age Of Apocalypse" timeline recently returned as part of Secret Wars, and elements of the story may be present in next year's film X-Men: Apocalypse.
The "Mirror Mirror" episode of Star Trek laid down a lot of the ground rules for parallel universes in pop culture, way back in 1967.
Thanks to a malfunctioning transporter, the Enterprise crew find themselves on a dark "mirror" world, where they encounter much more sinister versions of themselves.
Beyond being one of the most fondly remembered episodes of one of the most revered science-fiction franchises of all time, this episode gave the world a great gift: Mirror Spock's goatee, as the facial hair has since become a visual shorthand that "goatee = evil twin," parodied in "Wayne's World," Community and much more.
Yes, a brand new Earth 2 now lives on in the New 52, but the concept of Earth 2 has been around for quite awhile. Paradoxically, Earth 2, despite it's secondary numbering, was populated by older heroes in the old versions of the DC Universe, or simply had superheroes around for a longer period of time than Earth 1 or New Earth.
The world of classic Earth 2 let all the Golden Age heroes continue their relevance despite the younger, hipper heroes like Hal Jordan, and Barry Allen. Home to the JSA and a second generation that had already aged as well, Earth 2 was a place where Batman could have a grown up child of his own, or even die for good.
The problem with the classic Earth 2 is it opened DC up to more Earths - an infinite number in fact. It required a Crisis to bring them all together and make sense of it all again – a Crisis that was recently undone by DC's crossover Convergence.
In the "New 52," Earth 2 was home to an older Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, all of whom died heroically saving the world from the forces of Darkseid and Apokolips. Now a new generation of heroes, led by a young Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, and other classic heroes reinterpreted as much younger versions, are building a new society on an unfamiliar world in the wake of Convergence. While it takes much of the old Earth 2 and flips it on its head, it still offers a fresh take on the DC Universe to let fans see it through multiple viewpoints at once.
The Ultimate Universe started in 2000 as essentially the Marvel Universe readers were familiar with, but built from the ground up and for modern-day audiences: Peter Parker became Spider-Man due to genetic engineering instead of radioactivity, for instance, and the world was more diverse, with Nick Fury African American instead of Caucasian.
In the past 14 years, though, the Ultimate Universe has taken on a unique identity very much its own, due to three major events: Ultimatum and "The Death of Spider-Man," and Cataclysm.
Ultimatum saw Magneto make the type of major strike he usually only threatens, with several major characters – including Professor X, Cyclops, Wolverine and Magneto himself – dying during the course of the series.
"Death of Spider-Man," as the title implies, saw the death of the Ultimate Universe's Peter Parker, and led the way for a new Spidey: the half-African American, half-Hispanic Miles Morales.
In Cataclysm, the main Marvel Universe's version of Galactus came to the Ultimate Universe and merged with their Gah Lak Tus and nearly destroyed the world, killing thousands including Captain America.
The Ultimate Universe has further earned its spot for being a breeding ground for new talents and a showcase for Marvel's biggest names: Brian Michael Bendis was a relatively unknown back in 2000 when Ultimate Spider-Man launched, and now he's one of the very biggest names in the industry. Mark Millar's work on Ultimates and Ultimate X-Men helped bring him to superstardom. The Walking Dead's Robert Kirkman spent years on Ultimate X-Men. And that's not to mention the likes of Brian K. Vaughan, Bryan Hitch, Jason Aaron, Mark Bagley, David Finch, Mike Carey, Stuart Immonen, Jonathan Hickman, Adam Kubert, Warren Ellis, Leinil Francis Yu, Jeph Loeb, Art Adams and many, many more.
Of course, with the advent of Secret Wars, the Ultimate Universe is no more. However, some of its best elements, such as Miles Morales, will find their way into the All-New, All-Different Marvel Universe continuity the way some of the best elements of Earth 2 remained after Crisis On Infinite Earths.

Pablo Zabaleta hit the bar for City as they toiled at a wet and windy Loftus Road while QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar made a handful of excellent saves to keep the scores level, meaning the Barclays Premier League champions failed to move to within two points of leaders United.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side face Southampton at Old Trafford on Wednesday evening knowing a victory would re-establish the seven-point lead they built up over the festive period but even if the Red Devils are successful Mancini is not ready to throw in the towel.
"We lost two points, this is sure," he said. "But the season is long and I think I can say nothing because we played well, we had the chances but didn't score - that is all it is.
"We are disappointed with this result because we had a lot of chances to win, we dominated this game but when you play like this and don't score quickly it can be difficult.
"QPR defended very well and got players behind the ball and Julio Cesar was incredible."

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In 2011, NikkiJones, responded to several complaints about VideoBlocks posted on many different forums on the Internet. She claimed she was VideoBlocks' new customer support manager in charge of handling such complaints. She apologized to the complainants and offered refunds in her public responses, saying the company was diligently working to make the cancellation policy more clear. In 2013, however, VideoBlocks is still running the same ads with no apparent changes. Neither the ad sent out by Graphic Design USA this week or the current VideoBlocks website disclose the cancellation requirement on the same page as the supposedly "Completely Free Trial" with "No Obligation".
FTC rules also require advertisers to allow a 10 day period from the time of billing for customers to dispute unintended purchases. In contrast, VideoBlocks only allows customers to cancel within the 7-day trial period. If you call to cancel within 10 days of the first billing, VideoBlocks cancels your account starting with their next billing cycle but will not refund the $50 they already charged, even when the consumer did not use the service after the 7-day trial and did not intend to subscribe afterward.
Despite the FTC violations, there exist some internet posts by users seemingly happy with VideoBlock's service and blaming the multitude of unhappy customers for their own ignorance or not being savvy enough to read the fine print, or unable to exploit the free trial without being charged. It is important to note that VideoBlocks, while not an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau, has an F-rating with the BBB, mostly for credit card billing complaints.
Despite the complaints, magazine and website publishers continue to run ads by VideoBlocks, which is owned by FootageFirm, a major supplier of stock film footage to Fortune 500 firms, large ad agencies and production companies. These ads are sent to the publishers' own readers resulting in unhappy customers among their own readership who believe the ads and VideoBlocks would not be deceptive when received from a source they already trust within the industry. Publishers should take note whether they are complicit in violating FTC rules when there are so many existing complaints against an advertiser that can easily be found with the most routine Internet search.

Reports in Spain on Wednesday had suggested Ibra wanted to link up with his former Paris Saint-Germain boss at Madrid for next season, with Ancelotti having asked club President Florentino Perez to try and sign him.
However, Marca insists the Italian has not requested Ibrahimovic or even spoken about bringing the Swedish striker to the Spanish capital, and although he considers him a great player it is understood he is not in his plans.
Mina Raiola, the player's agent, is believed to have been in Madrid over the past few days to find out if there was possible interest in his client, with Ibrahimovic allegedly upset with PSG's signing of Edinson Cavani from Napoli.
Ancelotti has already told Los Blancos' officials he is happy with forwards Karim Benzema, Alvaro Morata and Jese, while he is still waiting to hear if Gonzalo Higuain is prepared to stay at the club.
Ernesto Bronzelli, a respected FIFA agent, says Ancelotti wants to keep Higuain.
Higuain has this week been linked with a move to Napoli, although Madrid are understood to be digging their heels in and will not enter into negotiations for the player at less than €40m.
However, in an interview with CRC, Bronzetti claims Ancelotti will do all in his power to convince the Argentine international that his future lies at the Bernabeu.
"I don't think Napoli can sign Higuain because Ancelotti wants him to continue at Madrid," said Bronzetti.
"Real Madrid, therefore, do not want to sell the player and I have to say that they do not sign players who are over 30, so [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic will not be coming.
"The Madrid attack consists of Cristiano Ronaldo, [Karim] Benzema and Higuain, all great players, and they would never have paid €63m for Edinson Cavani."
Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has turned down a move to Sevilla reports Marca.
The Andalusians, who are seeking a replacement for Manchester City-bound Alvaro Negredo, are understood to have offered around €10m for the 20-year-old with Madrid retaining the option to repurchase.
However, the 20-year-old, who starred in the recent Under-20 World Cup in Israel, has decided to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu to try and convince new boss Carlo Ancelotti he is worth a regular place in his team.
It is reported that Morata would have penned a five-year contract at the Sanchez Pizjuan, with Madrid allowed to buy him back in the first two years – €11.5m after the first season and €13m after the second.
Sevilla's first choice for the No 9 jersey is Paris Saint-Germain's Kevin Gameiro, who has admitted he is in talks with Los Nervionenses, but the Ligue 1 club are thought to have raised the asking price for the French international after becoming aware that Sevilla have banked cash from the transfers of Negredo and Jesus Navas.
Besiktas central defender Ersan Gulum is nearing a switch to Malaga after the Turkish club lowered their demands for the player.
The Turks were originally asking €2m for the 26-year-old but are now understood to be willing to accept around the €1m mark.
Reports in Spain say negotiations are now at an advanced stage for the Australia-born player, who was under Malaga boss Bernd Schuster during his time in charge at Besiktas.
The German gave Gulum his debut in the Turkish League after rescuing him from the Second Division and sees him as a priority for his new-look squad, given he can play both in central defence and at left-back.
Schuster's squad currently consists of 20 professionals, yet although he is in favour of not having more than 23 players he knows that reinforcements still need to be brought in if the Costa del Sol outfit is to make an impact in the 2013-14 campaign.
Real Betis have identified Nice midfielder Didier Digard as the man they want in central midfield for the forthcoming campaign.
According to Diaro de Sevilla, Betis director of football Vlada Stosic is negotiating with the 27-year-old [pictured, right], whose contract with the French outfit runs out in June 2014.
Vladic is believed to be ready to offer €2.5m for the versatile Digard, who can also operate as a central defender and has been linked to Sevilla, Toulouse, Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Malaga in recent weeks.
"We are still negotiating the renewal of his contract with Nice and can't talk about any other offers," commented his agent Stephan Courbis.
Digard started his career with Le Havre before subsequent spells with Paris Saint-Germain and Middlesbrough, originally joining Nice on loan in January 2010 with the deal made permanent in July 2011 for an undisclosed fee.
West Ham United are considering making a move for Sporting Gijon's versatile midfielder/striker Oscar Trejo.
A report in La Nueva Espana claims the Hammers could even make a formal offer for the 25-year-old [pictured, left] before the weekend after being alerted to Ligue 1 outfit Toulouse's interest in the Argentine.
The French club are understood to have made a €2.1m offer for Trejo, €400,000 more than a bid from Olympiacos last week, and the player's agent Hernan Reguera plans to be in Gijon today to resolve his client's future.
Even so, there are still some issues to be resolved before Trejo moves on, not least of which is that he is still allegedly owed money by Sporting, a situation that previously led him to denounce the club to the Spanish Footballers' Association.
Trejo, who has been in Spain six years having joined Real Mallorca from Boca Juniors, was subsequently loaned out to both Elche and Rayo Vallecano before signing for the Asturians in 2011.
He is now understood to be attracted by the competitiveness of the Premier League, although Sporting may hold out for a fee of around €3m before he is allowed to leave El Molinon.

Recommended prerequisite: Illustrator CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts and color settings for Illustrator from the Exercise Files tab.
- Working with compound shapes in the Pathfinder palette
- Ghosting shapes with Fill Opacity
- Understanding gradients and the gradient tools
- Cloning and coloring a blended path
- Saving tile patterns and applying them to a shape
- Importing and linking images from other applications
Skill Level Intermediate
I have gone ahead and saved my progress as The Biggest layer ever.ai. So called, because I've managed to fill up nearly the entire width of the pasteboard with my repeating pattern. Now bear in mind, the pasteboard in Illustrator is more than 18 feet wide. So I think we've successfully proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we can create a repeating pattern where these objects are concerned using just three objects and nothing more. So now, what do we do with that information? Let me show you. I am going to Shift+Tab back my palettes. I want you to see that just the Core Design layer is active. The others are hidden. Now I'm going to go ahead and zoom-in on my page to 100% is actually where I want to be.
I am going to go ahead and select three neighboring objects, which should include the star and then two of the three pronged hooks each at different angles. So just those three, nothing more. Then go up to the Select menu and choose Inverse in order to select everything but those three shapes. And then press the Backspace key or the Delete key on the Mac in order to delete everybody else. Now it might take a moment because this illustration was getting dangerously complicated by the way. So now that all those extraneous shapes are gone, these are the guys that really matter. Now what we want to do is we want to assign them Fills.
I would think if only for aesthetic reasons, that we want each of the three objects to be colored differently. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to go down to the bottom of the Swatches palette right there, and I want you to see how I have this grouped. That's called the Pattern group. It includes six different colors, and they're designed to be used either as a garish coloring and that would be orange and then violet and green or a more muted coloring scheme which would be these three colors right there, whatever the heck they are. I am going to start with the garish scheme and you can join me or go your own way. It's up to you. Now, I'm going to take advantage of that wonderful Alt or Option-clicking with the Eyedropper thing in order to turn the Eyedropper into a syringe, so that it colors objects. I'll show you what I mean.
Currently my Fill is active, good. None of my objects are active. That's fine. So I'm going to go ahead and grab green as my fill color. And then I'm going to press the I key to get the Eyedropper, and I'm going to press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, and then I'll click on the Outline for the star to color it. Now, I'm going to switch to violet and I'm going to color one of these two guys, doesn't matter which one. Actually, it doesn't matter if you decide to color the star a different color either. It's up to you. I'll Alt or Option-click on this guy and then I'll get orange and I'll Alt or Option-click on the boundary of this guy in order to color it.
So now we have a group of three objects each of which is colored differently. Let's go back to the Black Arrow tool. I'm going to select all three and I'm going to go ahead and group them together. It's just going to make life a little easier if they're grouped, Ctrl+G, Command+G on the Mac. Let's go ahead and zoom out a little bit, so we can take in more of the art-board or at least the entirety of the art-board. I am going to drag my items outside the art-board. So it's not necessary at all at this point. Now that we've proven how this pattern works, it's not necessary to fill up the entire pasteboard. That was totally overkill, but I would like to fill up the entire art-board.
So I'm going to go ahead and grab this anchor point right there and drag it until it snaps into alignment with this one, press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac and release in order to create a clone. Then I'll press Ctrl+D on the PC or Command+D on the Mac a couple of times in order to fill out some more of the art-board. Now I'll go ahead and grab these three guys. I think it will do it for me here and I'm just clicking and Shift- clicking because after all, the objects are grouped together. So I can move them on mass. I'll go ahead and drag from this anchor point and drop into place here, after I press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, and then I'll press Ctrl+D or Command+D on the Mac to fill out the bottom-left corner of the art-board, and this little group over on this side is really hanging off the left hand edge.
So why don't we go ahead and move it? We don't need to clone it. Let's just move it over into this area. I just want to make sure the entire art-board is covered with some portion of this pattern. Then I could just drag this guy by itself if I wanted to, and press the Alt key or the Option key in order to clone it to this location. Then let's move it down here, press Alt and Option to clone it to this location. You can see that every single time, no matter where I put it, as long as I put it in right place, everything is interlocking just perfectly. You know what, let's go ahead and move this guy up here just to make sure we have as much coverage as possible, press and hold the Alt or Option key in order to clone like so and this is looking good.
So we've now covered up the artboard, which is important if only because we want to make sure that we have enough of these objects here in order to represent a rectangular tile pattern. In the next exercise, I'm going to show you how to identify and add that rectangle. This is a very important but strange step, coming right up.

Just to say that I have opened a thread in "Tripods" about the X-10 and its dedicated accessories at RRS...
It's here.
Can a mod lock the present one, maybe, to avoid cross-posting? Thanks in advance!

Jetez un oeil à ma galerie if you feel like it! And it's a bit void as of now, but I also have a Nikonians blog
Auta i lomë! And my Nikon's only awaiting daylight...

Sign of the times for local government
Published: Thursday, June 6, 2002 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 5, 2002 at 11:00 p.m.
Front-page news, May 27, The Courier: Parish orders removal of sign. The headline catches my eye, and I find that the sign in question is one that declares: "Anybody but Bobby." I read on. After I am through with the article I find myself pinching myself to make sure that I understand the implications of what has been reported.
George Orwell's "1984" is apparently alive and kicking in Terrebonne Parish when the government can order the removal of a sign, which is located on private property, just because officials don't like what it says.
I have nothing against Parish President Bobby Bergeron. I have no ax to grind. Nothing political whatsoever. However, when the government of which Mr. Bergeron is president makes it its business to make a move on someone who has the audacity to put up a sign on his private property that is somehow deemed critical of him, it makes one wonder why would the powers-that-be bother? Why single out this one sign, which probably 90 percent of the people who pass and read it don't even know what it's all about?
But now they do. Now they see the government seeking to oppress individual freedom. Now people can put it all in perspective, and where before they couldn't be bothered, now it is something they have to think about it. They now have to make a decision about whether to side with the government as it attempts to run amok over what's left of individual freedom in this country, or whether to come down on the little guy's side.
It has changed things. Now people will not drive by and wonder what the little sign means; they will have been informed. Now the people will have to decide whether or not this bureaucratic heavy-handedness is something they want in their government. Who knows? This small incident, although huge in symbolism, may even find its way into the hearts and minds of those who vote for the next parish president.
Sometimes it is just better to leave sleeping dogs, and in this case, signs, alone.

Considering that it is inspired by one of the dolls in the American Girl product line, "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl" is some kind of a miracle: an actually good movie. I expected so much less. I was waiting for some kind of banal product placement, I suppose, and here is a movie that is just about perfect for its target audience, and more than that. It has a great look, engaging performances, real substance and even a few whispers of political ideas, all surrounding the freshness and charm of Abigail Breslin, who was 11 when it was filmed.
The movie is set in Cincinnati at the dawn of the Great Depression; perfectly timed, it would appear, as we head into another one. Kit pounds furiously on the typewriter in her tree house, determined to become a Girl Reporter, while a big story is happening right downstairs in her family house: The mortgage is about to be foreclosed. Her dad (Chris O'Donnell) has lost his car dealership and gone to Chicago seeking work, her mom (Julia Ormond) is taking in boarders, and there's local hysteria about muggings and robberies allegedly committed by hobos.
Kit actually meets a couple of hobos. Will (Max Thieriot) is about her age, and his sidekick Countee (Willow Smith) is a little younger. They live in the hobo camp down by the river, along with as nice a group of hobos as you'd ever want to meet. Kit tries selling their story and photos to the editor of the local paper (a snarling Wallace Shawn). No luck. But other adventures ensue: She adopts a dog, her mom acquires chickens, Kit sells the eggs, and the new boarders are a colorfully assorted lot. And she sees such unthinkable sights as neighbor's furniture being moved to the sidewalk by deputies. Will that happen at her address?
The boarders include a magician (Stanley Tucci), a nurse (Jane Krakowski), the erratic driver (Joan Cusack) of a mobile library truck and assorted others, eventually including even a monkey. Kit's mom hides her treasures in a lock box, but it is stolen, and unmistakable clues point to the hobos. A footprint found under a window, for example, has a star imprint that exactly matches the boots found in Will's tent, and the sheriff names him the prime suspect. But hold on! Kit and her best friends Stirling and Ruthie (Zach Mills and Madison Davenport) develop another theory, which would clear Will and implicate someone (dramatically lowered voice) a lot ... closer to home.
All of this (the missing loot, Kit's ambitions and Those Important Clues) are of course the very lifeblood of the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, and "Kit Kittredge" not only understands that genre but breathes life into it. This movie, intelligently and sincerely directed by Patricia Rozema ("Mansfield Park"), does not condescend. It does not cheapen or go for easy laughs. It is as serious about Kit as she is about herself, and doesn't treat her like some (indignant exclamation) dumb girl.
If you have or know or can borrow a girl (or a boy) who collects the American Girl dolls, grab onto that child as your excuse to see this movie. You may enjoy it as much as they do -- maybe more, with its period costumes, settings and music. The kids may be astonished that banks actually foreclosed on people's homes in the old days (hollow laugh). And there may be a message lurking somewhere in the movie's tolerance of hobos. The American Girl dolls have already inspired TV movies about Molly, Felicity and Samantha. What's for sure is that if "Kit Kittredge" sets the tone for more upcoming American Girl movies, we can anticipate some wonderful family films.

Roundup: Michael Fassbender too busy for an Oscar campaign
It's been obvious for some time that Michael Fassbender isn't all that fond of the publicity game -- particularly when it comes to awards season. He's currently among the Best Supporting Actor favorites for his brutal turn in "12 Years a Slave," but if/when he nets that overdue first nomination, it'll be without much campaigning on his end. Speaking to GQ, Fassbender says he'll be avoiding the awards circuit to focus on work: "That's just not going to happen, because I'll be in New Zealand ... You know, I get it. Everybody's got to do their job. So you try and help and facilitate as best you can. But I won't put myself through that kind of situation again." Fair enough. Mo'Nique let her performance speak for her in 2009, and it didn't obstruct her path to the Oscar. Can Fassbender do the same? [GQ]
Bruce Handy makes the case for 2013 as the best year for movies since Hollywood's Golden Age. I liked "We're the Millers" more than most, but it's a strange example to pick. [Vanity Fair]

Hi there.
I am integrating a WP blog with a existing static website. In order not to have to maintain two different header & footer files - as well as to avoid redoing all the static pages to point to a WP header/footer, I have instead linked the WordPress blog theme files to the existing site header & footer files like this:
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/includes/header.inc.php");
I added the WordPress hooks into the existing header as well. Here's the code for header.inc.php:
Everything works well, but I've just discovered that all the static pages outside the WordPress /blog/ folder are sending "404 error" HTTP status headers to the browser, which is obviously not acceptable.
I get this error when trying to validate the HTML on the static pages:
I got the following unexpected response when trying to retrieve <http://nom.zooninidev.com/family-camp.php>:
404 Not Found
I am also seeing
<body class="error404"> in all the static pages as well. Somehow, these pages are being interpreted by WP as nonexistent.
If anyone knows how to correct this I would be grateful. Obviously we can't go live until this is fixed. Thanks in advance.

If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride. But before you climb in, make sure you've found the right saddle. Finding a comfortable Western saddle is comparable to finding a comfortable pair of shoes. You want a quality saddle that fits well and has good support. By following these simple guidelines, you will have many happy hours in your Western saddle.
Correct Size
A Western saddle is measured in inches from the base of the horn to the center of the cantle. Sit in the deepest part of the saddle and make sure you are not pressed directly against the horn or cantle of the saddle. When you stand up in the stirrups, you should stand straight up without being tilted forward or backward.
Good Support
A Western saddle with good support is a must. Regardless of what type of saddle you choose, from roping saddles to barrel saddles, a saddle with good support will keep you comfortable. The tree is the framework inside of the saddle and should be made of wood or other materials that last. Look for ample padding over the tree. Avoid straps or buckles that lay against your leg, as these can cause chaffing or pinching.
Try It in Person
Always sit in a saddle to see how it feels before buying. You should feel properly seated, comfortably padded, and not too snug or loose. If a saddle feels slightly small, choose the next size up. It is better for a saddle to be slightly big rather than too small. Choose a wider rather than narrower seat if possible. Remember that different brands of saddles may be sized differently. So focus on comfort, not size.
A well-made saddle will be stamped with the saddle makers' brand. Search for brands with good reputations. Look for thick, pliable leather that will wear in with time. The edges of the leather should be finished, and the underside of the saddle should be lined with real wool, not synthetic materials. Compromising quality for price may not be wise, especially in the long run, since inferior materials tend to wear out more quickly.

Peter, I have been using your PJ clone dough in my Blackstone with very good results.(both the two day & the 24 hour)I have used the 8 hour with mixed results. (reply 4)By any chance have you come up with a new formulation for an 8 hour dough? (one without a punchdown)I looked, but may have missed one in this looong thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Petezza, I just wanted to say thanks for the recipe and show you my results. I waited 3 days to use the 2 day dough recipe due to unforeseen circumstances but had good results. I was quite happy with it although I should have put more sauce. Now that I'm happy with the bake, I think I'll up my ingredient level to better cheese and meat. http://imgur.com/a/yki8w
Beautiful! What recipe did you use, bake time, bake setup, ingredients, sauce, etc. Details! Give me the complete breakdown!!! Amazing!
PizzaPap,I believe that you meant Reply 24, not Reply 4, in your last post. Unfortunately, I did not come up with another 8-hour, room temperature fermented PJ clone dough. The biggest problem with room temperature fermented doughs is variations in room temperature. For example, in Texas where I live, the room temperature in the summer can be quite high, as much as 82 degrees F, and that is with the oven preheated and the AC running. That means using a minuscule amount of yeast to compensate for the high room temperatures.However, I might mention that I came up with a 12-hour room temperature fermented PJ clone dough that was an extension of the version described in Reply 24 but required no punchdown. As you can see at Reply 30 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=6758.msg59762#msg59762, even that version used a very small amount of yeast. But, fortunately, there is now a good solution available to you, whether you choose to use the PJ clone formulation as set forth in Reply 24 or Reply 30. And that is to use member Craig's yeast quantity prediction model as set forth in Reply 261 at:http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=26831.msg393271#msg393271So, to use the above referenced chart, which you can click to enlarge, you should select the temperature you want to use and the number of hours you would like to ferment the dough. The intersection of the two values will lead you the amount of yeast you will want to use, whether it is ADY, IDY or cake yeast. Those quantities are at the top of the chart.I should also mention that some of my PJ clone formulations called for dough ball weights for the 14" size of from 20-22 ounces or so. That is because I did not know at the time what dough ball weight PJ was actually using, and they treated that information as proprietary and would not tell me the actual weight. However, we later learned that the dough ball weight the PJ uses is around 20 ounces, give or take a fraction of an ounce. So, if you wish, you can use a 20-ounce dough ball weight in the expanded dough calculating tool at http://www.pizzamaking.com/expanded-calculator.html, along with the bakers percents that I set forth. Peter
Peter, I'm hoping you can help me with this. I found some seemingly really great quality San Marzanos at Costco and I'm wondering if you think I can use these for your Papa John's clone sauce. I'm worried about the added basil in the tomatoes (arg, why would they do that?) and added salt by the looks of it. I'll put some pics up here from the can (very large can).
Made a couple more 2 day clone pizzas if anyone is interested....We loved them, next time I'd put the cheese on top of the salami though
