About this Artist
Mike Smith
"My father immigrated from Scotland, so I'm a first generation American. I have been a painter and sculptor all my life, beginning in abstract work, and arriving here, wherever 'here' is now. Life is good!"
Mike Smith finds inspiration for his subjects and colors in the gardens and rural settings of his home and studio in the Pacific Northwest.
While pets wander through many of his watercolors, loosely based on the artist's life and gardens, several of his equally successful works depict more exotic fauna. Giraffes, an elephant, a lion, draw on Smith's profound artistic experience and spiritual delight in the forms of nature.
Infusing his work with his fine sense of celebration, Smith creates works of great charm and visual excitement.

How To Install Replace Power Door Lock Actuator Ford Explorer Lincoln Mercury 88-03 1AAuto.com
What do you think about this video?
Cinthya P: I need the instructions for a F. ESCAPE 2001. Thanks for the support!
Steven Smith: First, thanks SO MUCH to 1AAUTO for the great parts and videos to help out we DIY'ers. My power driver's window regulator repair wouldn't have been possible without them.
So now...my key won't reliably unlock the driver's door, nor will the FOB. I should add this has been going on intermittently for several years but is now getting much worse. The door unlocks maybe 1 in 50 attempts (yes...I'm the goofball standing in the parking lot clicking my FOB over and over and turning the key in the lock...for 10 minutes).
The FOB and key do unlock and lock all other doors just fine. It's only the driver's door that will not unlock reliably.
I've lubricated all door locks and internal, mechanical components, even got the child safety locks on the rear doors to work properly again. But the driver's door lock is still a bugger.
I checked for the frayed/broken/shorted wire in the driver's door wiring harness/cannon and all looks good there.
Based on what I'm reading, this sounds like a power door lock actuator but would like some input before buying the part and attempting the repair.
Thanks to all, especially 1AAUTO!
Andy B: hi, 1st well done video, I have a question, I have a 04 Lincoln LS and im having problems with the driver door, the door close well but the lock doesn't work, what that can be? and if you are selling that part in your website.....thx.....
Big John: Got my new part, installed it in about 45 min. had my shop give me an quote, he wanted $187 parts & labor.
Yeah right, the part was only $38 shipped to my door in 2 days, I saved $150 and the 1A Auto instructions were dead on.
Thank you for all your help.
scsammy: Great video! Bought a new lock actuator for my 2000 Explorer from 1AAuto and installed it today. Thanks to the video it took less than an hour.
troy boehm: Do u have a video on replacing the door latch assembly on2000 explorer? mine wont unlatch very good but will open good from outside
1A Auto Parts: @Matt Freda
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately we do not have a video for your application. We will keep this repair in mind for future videos.
1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Matt Freda: I have what I believe is a driver side door airbag, it's an Eddie Bauer edition...how should I go about working around this?
Joe blow goes: Will this fix my door problem? My door doesn't stay close. It doesn't latch on to the body of the car. Both of the door handles work, but when i try to close the door it just bounces back.
Jose Figueroa: Would this fix my passager door? My problem is that when i use keyless entry the passenger button wont pop up unless a bang the door a bit and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt lock or unlock?
outl0r: do you have this video for a toyota corolla 03?
timothy gray: nevermind as soon as i got the clip held up to the handle rod , i could see.
thank you for the awesome videos.
bimmjim: My driver side back door is stuck in the locked position. I can't even get the door open to take it apart. ? ? ?
TheDaltonboii: What would cause my explorer to idle at about 600 and when the heat is on it drops to 500 sounds like it is about to die then kicks back up and repeats the process?
TheDaltonboii: I have a 2000 explorer xlt and the driver door locks fine it just doesnt want to unlock unless you pull the inside handle
James Troutman: I have a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT. My drive side passenger door won't open. It's like the lock is stuck. And the problem is, actually Getting the door open to replace the lock actuator. Any tips??
A Muhammad: My driver side power locks will only lock the doors. It will not unlock the doors. The same goes for the keyless remote. The door keypad will unlock the door and so will the key. And I can lock and unlock using the power locks on the passenger side. I'm not sure if it's a switch, an actuator or the drivers unlock relay. If it's not the actuator, do you have videos on how to replace the switch or relay.
Omar Pedraza: My door ajar light is on come to find out my passenger back door got a bad door jamb sensor because it isnt making a peep when choosing and opening like the other doors how in the world do i change that in that little space i got to work with.
Nick VanTassel: 1998 ford windstar drivers door wont shut. The door just kind of hangs there, I looked at the latch and it seems to be jammed, not sure how to fix problem.
FlappingTerror: I`m not sure if this is the part I need to replace or what, but my door won`t latch closed. I think the spring for the latch itself went out. I own a 2007 Ford Taurus SEL. It has been terribly cold where I live -25 wind chills. And I do not have a garage, nor do I know anyone who does so I`m a bit stuck. Any ideas?

Update: Concert moved to February 10, 2010
Posted By Julian Chadwick
Earlier this morning, I went over to the press cconference of a "major concert announcement" at Rose Garden. Let me say this–coffee cake–delicious. They sent out the announcement invitation on Friday, & the general consensus from people on twitter (I'm looking at you Steph Stricklen) and over at the Mercury* was U2. Wrong.
You can watch the live video stream I had up earlier here on Qik. It's not that great of quality and the sound is a bit low, but it was live. If you can do better live quality & want to join the pipeline team, email us and you too can have delicious coffee cake.
From Press Release:
Billy Joel and Elton John come Face 2 Face at the Rose Garden Nov 10
Who: Billy Joel and Elton John
When: Tue, Nov 10, 2009 ● 7:30p
Where: Rose Quarter – Rose Garden, Portland, Oregon
Billy Joel and Elton John, the most successful and longest-running concert pairing in pop history, will reunite for their Face 2 Face tour at Rose Garden on Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Billy and Elton open the concert with a series of duets, playing twin pianos and trading vocals. Each artist then performs a set with his own band. A grand finale brings the two superstars and their supporting musicians back together for a closing encore. This includes some of both Billy and Elton's greatest hits along with an unpredictable selection of rock and roll classics.
Tickets: Tickets are priced at $177.00, $97.00 and $51.50. Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 4th at 10a and can be purchased at the Rose Quarter Box Office (M-F 10a-5p), all participating Safeway/ Tickets West outlets, by calling 877.789.ROSE (7673), or at ComcastTIX.com.

"Billy and Elton on the same stage is a unique entertainment opportunity and we are thrilled that Portland will have the chance to experience it."
This will be Billy Joel and Elton John's first performance together in Portland since their sold out show at The Rose Garden in January of 2001.
"I love touring with Billy. I have the greatest respect for him and we're such good friends," Elton John said.
"The great thing about performing with Elton is that he is such a good piano player and that makes me have to dig deep to keep up with him, not to mention I've got the best seat in the house-only one piano away from Elton John!" said Billy Joel.
Concert dates announced this year for the Face 2 Face tour immediately sold-out and include two concerts at Toronto's Air Canada Center, and multiple nights at Chicago's Wrigley Field, Philadelphia's Citizen Bank Ballpark, in addition to concerts in Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, and Tampa.
Billy and Elton last toured together in 2003 with 24 sellouts. According to Billboard Magazine the Face 2 Face tour starring Elton John and Billy Joel was "the most successful touring package of all time."

PopTech Blog
Where do good ideas come from? What kinds of environments make them more likely, and how can we use this knowledge to generate more innovation?
PopTech 2005 speaker Steven Johnson tackles these questions in his latest book, Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation., which explores interesting stories about scientific, technological, and cultural breakthroughs. They include how Darwin's "eureka moment" about natural selection was actually the slow evolution of ideas that eventually crystallized into an articulate theory; how Gutenberg borrowed a crucial idea from the wine industry to invent modern printing; and why GPS was accidentally developed by a pair of twenty-somethings messing around with a microwave receiver.
His most ambitious work to date, Johnson integrates many of his earlier ideas from Everything Bad is Good for You and The Invention of Air. into a kind of how-to book. With this latest work, Johnson has crafted a "natural history" of innovation by exploring the unusually successful spaces of innovation across cultural and natural systems. This "long zoom" approach moves from the complexity of the coral reef and the chemical soups from which life emerged to the architecture of successful science labs and the information networks of the Web.
Spark: Green Power's powerful simplicity
Growing Power (left) and Spark Connector Sarina Chawla (right).
About a week ago, high school senior Sarina Chawla immersed herself in the world of innovative agriculture when she visited Growing Power, an urban farm and community food center located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Chawla had attended PopTech 2010 as part of the PopTech Spark initiative, designed to inspire and encourage science, technology, engineering and math- (STEM) related endeavors—and Growing Power provided a look at how STEM is used in all aspects of the organization, from the science of composting to engineering stormwater systems. Founded by PopTech 2009 presenter and Spark Innovator, Will Allen, Growing Power utilizes urban spaces that farms typically don't use to grow food and community. Allen explains his motivation, "I realized people didn't have access to healthy food and I thought I could bring farms into the city."

Lost and Found: Colin Rich's PopStar journeys to near space and is recovered on the Canadian coastline
The weather conditions weren't ideal, Colin Rich recalled in a recent phone interview.
The artist planned to release one of his DIY camera-balloons at PopTech 2010. In preparation for the balloon's release, he had installed two secondhand digital cameras inside a Styrofoam mannequin head he'd dubbed PopStar, attaching the head to a homemade high-altitude weather balloon with a bit of duct tape and some string. The plan was that once in flight, the cameras would regularly collect videos and still images until, around 125,000 feet, the balloon would burst and deploy a parachute. Rich hoped PopStar would safely land within 100 miles of the central Maine launch site but gusting winds threatened to whisk it hundreds of miles away.
Rich launched the device and hoped for the best.
"Something went wrong near the apex [of the flight]. Maybe there was a gust of wind or the parachute deployed too early," Rich recalled. When he recovered the PopStar rig in a blueberry field using the GPS that had been attached to the contraption, he only found the mannequin head and one of the cameras. The parachute as well as the base — and the second camera within it — were missing. Somehow, the rig had fallen apart in midair.
Colin presented images from the one recovered camera on the PopTech stage "We were at a conference on necessary failures so it seemed to fit the theme. I figured the [second] camera was lost forever."
Then, in early December, Rich received a Facebook message from St. Andrew's Oceanographic Institute researcher Josh Nunn: I have the missing camera!
Rich learned that the camera had landed off the coast of New Brunswick, Canada, floating in the Bay of Fundy for several weeks until researchers fished it out of the water. The external case was battered. Salt and battery acid had corroded everything. The camera was ruined but the camera's memory card was still intact!
It would have have been thrown away except that Nunn noticed that the card contained footage – and Rich's name embedded in the files. After finding a Huffington Post article on Rich, Nunn realized that these images might be important so he found him on Facebook.
Within a week, Rich received a box containing the missing media. Some of the footage had been corrupted, but Rich has been able to salvage much of the material, including this video.
To find its way back to Rich, the camera had traveled 24 miles into the air, over 150 miles across North America, and then across cyberspace. "Out of the sheer vastness of space, someone had tracked down the missing camera and found me through the Internet," Rich laughed. "I think that's the really cool thing to come out of this."
Meet the Spark Connectors
If you've checked out Spark, PopTech's pilot youth initiative, you might have noticed that high school students are a critical part of the campaign.
Four rising seniors were selected as this year's Spark Connectors: Keziah Green and Anthony Morris, both from BCAM High School in Brooklyn, New York; Molly White, from Camden Hills Regional High School in Rockport, Maine; and Sarina Chawla, from Tesla Engineering Charter School in Neenah, Wisconsin.
In advance of PopTech 2010, all four Connectors attended a one-day workshop, learning how to visualize ideas with Peter Durand, tell stories with Radio Lab's Jad Abumrad, and produce video with Chris Walker-Spencer. During the conference, the Connectors used these tools on the Spark blog to record their thoughts and interviews about the speakers they'd seen present.
Molly met and interviewed a couple of her favorite speakers, eco-adventurer David de Rothschild and Graham Hill. Sarina practiced the visual approach to telling stories, capturing two views on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. Keziah learned what being wrong reveals about memory and human nature. She and Anthony also found time to celebrate the hard-working staff that produces the PopTech conference every year.
When asked what they had learned at PopTech, Anthony summed it up nicely. "It only takes one person to change the world. I want to be part of that."
PopTech contributor Jonathan Laurence captured these students' participation with the Spark program at PopTech 2010. Check it out!

Share the wealth and spread the word with Elizabeth Dunn and Sinan Aral
Happiness and money do go hand-in-hand, explained Elizabeth Dunn during her PopTech 2010 talk. But, it's not the simple more-money, more-happiness equation that we might assume. In fact, during studies Dunn and her team conducted, it became apparent that there was a threshold at which point greater wealth led to a decreased ability to savor.
In addition, they found that those people who spent their money on others – friends, co-workers, teammates, charitable organizations and so forth – felt a greater sense of well-being than those who spent it on themselves.
So what if we could channel those good vibes associated with spending money on others to a broader audience and create a movement?
Which leads to 2010 Science Fellow Sinan Aral's work: how does behavior spread throughout a population? If we can tap into that know-how, Aral believes we can leverage the power of networks, new technologies, and modes of communication to promote positive behaviors like financial responsibility, tolerance, and exercise and stifle detrimental behaviors like fraud, dirty needle sharing, and violence. The implications of Aral's work can be applied to diverse fields including, for starters, epidemiology, innovation management and development economics as well as, perhaps, the correlation between wealth and contentedness.
Hayat Sindi talks science and leadership with high school girls
As part of PopTech's Spark youth initiative, biotech entrepreneur Dr. Hayat Sindi visited Coastal Studies for Girls in Freeport, Maine this past Thursday. Sindi shared her story about how she became a world-class scientist and innovator and discussed challenges the participating 10th grade students face in achieving their goals.
Sindi recounted how, as a girl growing up in Saudi Arabia, she dreamed of becoming a scientist. Despite significant social pressure to remain at home, Sindi moved to the U.K. to pursue her studies. Once there, Sindi said, many doubted her ability and resolve. Undeterred, she earned her PhD in biotechnology and achieved international recognition for her work. Not content to just succeed in the lab, Sindi has become a social innovation leader, helping to develop a portable, low-cost diagnostic tool that makes it possible to monitor patients in even the most remote settings.
While her work could transform global health worldwide, Sindi revealed that she still faces significant challenges. She told the students that some critics have dismissed her accomplishments, suggesting that true science is only practiced in the lab. Sindi brushed off this criticism. "We need to extend the social benefits of nanotechnology to the poorest in this world," Sindi explained. "They are the ones who could benefit most from this kind of work." Sindi is also developing more opportunities for scientific research, and for women in the sciences, in the Middle East.
Lisa Gansky wants us to join the sharing economy – and give better gifts this holiday season
With the recession lingering on, technology entrepreneur Lisa Gansky thinks it's the perfect reason to give experiences rather than more stuff this holiday season.
Gansky introduced the idea when she spoke at PopTech 2010 about her predictions for the future of business. She revealed how the interconnected relationships and information of the emerging "mesh" economy is making it far easier to share goods and services without the expense of ownership. Gansky recently published a book on the subject, called The Mesh: Why the Future of Business is Sharing.
A number of companies, among them Netflix and the car sharing service Zipcar, are taking advantage of the data-rich "mesh" to build richer experiences and stronger brands by providing people with what they need the moment they need it. [Other companies can be found in her book, and in the accompanying online directory.]
The "mesh" is not just good for business, says Gansky. It's also good for consumers. Web-enabled mobile devices and social networks are "taking the friction out of sharing," unleashing the true impact of peer-to-peer relationships by helping consumers buy less but use more.
Gansky's gift guide is a great way to join the experience marketplace, presenting an offbeat take on holiday giving where there are "no boxes, no gift wrap, no batteries required."
Talking trash and making monsters with Tierney Thys
On November 20th, marine biologist Dr. Tierney Thys met with students and artists/scientists from Monterey County and Fresno, California schools to talk trash as part of PopTech's Spark initiative. Thys explained how trash makes its way to the ocean, gathers in ocean gyres and endangers the lives of countless marine creatures. In fact, some forms of pollutants, like plastics, can become exponentially more dangerous as they transform from physical threats to chemical threats. In fleshing out ways to combat this growing problem, participants considered various solutions including the four Rs: Refuse single-serving plastic containers as well as Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Keeping those ideas in mind, the monster-making began. Drawing from five wheel barrels brimming with beach trash collected by the community days before the event, participants quickly transformed the mountains of plastic, Styrofoam, cigarette butts, juice boxes, wrappers and lids into sculptural masterpieces. Students wrote and recorded descriptions of their creations.
Emma Finch, a 12-year old participant, described the sculpture she titled "The Three UnWise Men":
This piece exemplifies three types of foolishness we see in the world today. On the far right is the Polluter, an "Average Joe" who is in denial about environmental concerns and continues living the "disposable" life. Front and center is the Pyromaniac, an unsavory individual whose incessant smoking harms himself and others. On the
far left is the insidious Perpetrator of Lies. This is the guy who will tell you that global warming is fake and smoking is good for you. He'll do anything to make a profit.
On December 15, all works of art will be exhibited at the Monterey Plaza Hotel as part of National Geographic's Marine Recreation Community Workshop. Thys hopes to continue her work with Trash Monsters by partnering with the Ocean Conservancy as well as making Trash Monster events an annual part of the International Coastal Cleanup.

A new memorial is being erected to honor Maine emergency medical services personnel.
A groundbreaking ceremony is being held in Augusta on Saturday for the new EMS Memorial, which will be located between the law enforcement and firefighters' memorials along State Street.
Construction begins next week.
Officials say the memorial is the first of its kind in the U.S.
The memorial honors those who have lost their lives in the line of duty, while also providing information about the origins of EMS in Maine and how the system works today. It was funded by private donations and is located on state-owned land.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Projects on the Move
Python inventor Guido van Rossum is known to have a good sense of humor and probably had a good laugh when he heard about the Guido van Robot project. If you are learning how to program, or would like to teach others, this software gives you a light-hearted introduction.
Perhaps you've heard of Python creator Guido van Rossum, but you might not be familiar with Karel the Robot. Almost 30 years ago, Richard Pattis invented a robot called Karel and presented him to the general public in his 1981 book Karel the Robot: A Gentle Introduction for the Art of Programming [1]. This virtual character has the advantage of living in a simple world in which his biggest challenges are maneuvering around obstacles – namely, walls – and picking up beepers. To tackle his tasks, Karel can be programmed in a simple language with an understandable instruction set and without variables.
The original Karel the Robot programming language was based on Pascal, but many variants have been invented since then to give learners a simpler approach to other programming languages. One of these variants is Guido van Robot, a character in the long-standing tradition of simulated, programmable robots, whose task it is to introduce newcomers to Python [2] (Figure 1). As a tribute to Python's Dutch inventor, Guido van Rossum [3], the students who programmed the Python teaching language in 2001 called it Guido van Robot [4]. Version 3.3 is now available.
Guido – the robot that is, not the Python inventor – can understand five commands: move, turnleft, pickbeeper, putbeeper, and turnoff. The first two commands tell the robot to move or turn left; pick and put tell it to pick up and drop beepers, and turnoff quits the program (Figure 2).
Besides the imperatives listed here, Guido – like most other programming languages – gives users loops and conditions. The latter are introduced by the key words if, elif, and else; the while key word supports conditional execution. The do X command tells Guido to repeat the following command block a certain number of times.
View of the World
To be able to react to its environment, Guido van Robot uses 18 test instructions to explore its world, including front_is_clear, left_is_clear, right_is_clear, and front_is_blocked, that define the existence of walls. The objects lying around on the playing field are referred to as beepers. The instructions next_to_a_beeper and any_beepers_in_beeper_bag and corresponding negatives tell Guido where the beepers are.
The last remaining test category contains the facing_north and not_facing_north commands and variants, which use the other three directions instead of north. Typical Guido van Robot instructions look like:
if next_to_a_beeper: pickbeeper elif front_is_clear : move
What makes Guido van Robot so attractive to newcomers is that the environment has its own interface, comprising the Code Editor, World Editor, and Guido's World area. Python newcomers can watch their robot tour the world while their program is running.
If you are not happy with the existing instruction set, you can define your own instructions based on it. Put the define Name keyword at the start of a definition block, which can contain simple instructions, loops, and conditions. Here's an example for a step backward:
define back: do 2: turnleft move do 2: turnleft
What Guido van Robot now lacks is an environment through which the program can guide him.
Fortunately, the software package includes three worlds: boring, escape1, and maze1. The first lacks barriers, which is a good thing in normal circumstances, but here, its lack of events makes it unsuitable for testing algorithms. escape1 is a more interesting prospect; a world that comprises a room with an exit. Trying to get to the exit as quickly as possible is a more useful programming task.
The third environment is a small maze, as you might have guessed from the name, maze1, in which Guido finds the first beeper.
If you want to set your robot on more ambitious tasks, you easily can define your own worlds. For this, the World Editor understands the WALL command.
In a similar way, you can use the Robot keyword to set the starting position for Guido van Robot. To feed the robot in your world, you need to use the Beepers keyword to lay a trail of numbered beepers.
The first two arguments define the position of the object and are followed by an arbitrary number that the program uses to label the beeper.
After designing a world and writing a robot program, you can press the Execute button to launch the robot. The code editor highlights the current line, making it easy to follow loops and conditions. If everything is happening too fast for you to follow, you can press the Step button to step through the instructions one by one.
If you are familiar with Python or any other programming language, you will easily master programming Guido van Robot and its numerous relatives. Programming the robot can be fun even for serious programmers. The effortless way in which you can maneuver the robot through small worlds is a rewarding experience.
Of course, Guido van Robot is suitable for teaching, which is what the project is really about (Figure 2). If you never have tried programming, this gives you a fun approach to the buzz language Python and could be your ticket to entering the wacky world of coding.

Froch Eyes Groves Defense in Late 2013, Early 2014
According to IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch (31-2, 22KOs) - Matchroom stablemate George Groves (19-0, 15KOs) is likely to be his next opponent. There is some tension between the two fighters, because Groves helped Mikkel Kessler prepare for his May rematch with Froch. The IBF has given Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn until July 17th to get a deal done. Froch feels the fight can happen this year, but more than likely it will take place in 2014.
"Potentially the fight might happen this year but it is more likely to happen, if it does happen, next year," Froch told BBC Sport. "It's quite unusual for a British fighter to spar a foreign fighter against a British fighter. You wouldn't usually go and help them out. He's promoted by Eddie Hearn at Matchroom, same as me, but we're from different camps. He trains in London with Adam Booth, who looks after David Haye. I train in Nottingham and I'm with Rob McCracken. There's no beef but it's not ideal."
hmm, its better than kessler 3 i suppose.Comment by Weebler I on 07-09-2013
[QUOTE=hougigo;13542032]So... is Froch done for the year?[/QUOTE] Yeah, early 2014 is surprising. Doesn't really make sense unless he's fighting a unification first.Comment by New Wave on 07-09-2013
I'm not sure this will happen so soon. Surely matchroom will want to target Steiglitz or Bika first before throwing Groves in with Froch.Comment by flat1985 on 07-09-2013

I made this the first time for a potluck and it went so quickly that I didn't even get to taste it. So, I decided to hold off on my review until I could make it again for myself. I must say that I was pleased with the dish. While it's not the best pizza hotdish I've ever tried, it is quite good, and a little different than others I've had. It makes a lot, and I'll probably make it again.
Excellent! I did change a cpl things to use what I had on hand. Instead of pepperoni I used beef summer sausage cut up, one can of rotel and one can of tomato soup. I would make again for sure. Husband loved it because it had noodles.
Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Made this tonight was running late and needed something quick so . . . I skipped the last step of garnishing and baking but holy oh my to die for! It was absolutely perfect! Thanks for the amazing recipe!

Kallio started from fourth but moved up to second at the start, and overtook Tom Luthi on the fourth lap to claim the lead.
With the expected rain not arriving Kallio had a straightforward battle to hang on for the win - his first since he took victory in a 250cc race at Donington in 2007.
Britain's title-chasing Scott Redding struggled to eighth, far behind team-mate Kallio.
Kallio did however perform some damage limitation for Redding by taking points away from Redding's title rival Pol Espargaro as he finished in fourth compared to Redding's eighth and loses only five points to the Spaniard.

I've spent the last couple hours reading various posts in forum and still can't get it to work. I'm using a slight modification of Kubrick's theme. When I try to register the sidebar in the theme's function.php, with <?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') ) register_sidebar(); ?> and go to save it, I get Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/altadena/www/www/wordpress/wp-content/themes/abc/functions.php:3) in /home/altadena/www/www/wordpress/wp-admin/theme-editor.php on line 55

Cold weather forced local winemakers to pick grapes in a hurry this weekend.
Winemaker Nancy Janes from Whitewater Hill Vineyard says the cold weather can damage leaves on the vine, and once that damage is done, the grapes cease to mature.
In order to keep grapes from losing qualities wineries have worked to gain all year, some local wineries had to pick grapes in a hustle to keep them at their prime.
If you happen to drive by a vineyard and still see grapes on the vine, not to worry, not all wineries were affected by the cold, some grapes still need more time, and some grapes will even stay on the vine until a hard freeze to make "ice wine".

JAGUAR XK 120 Roadster
| £129,000
The XK120 was launched in roadster form at the 1948 London Motor Show as a test bed and show car for the new Jaguar XK engine and caused a sensation persuading William Lyons to put it in production. The name '120' name referred to its top speed, which made it the world's fastest standard production car at the time of it's launch. It was available in two convertible versions; first as a roadster, then also as a drophead coupe from 1951. The iconic shape of the XK120 roadster sustains the car's constant appreciation by classic car enthusiasts. They are eminently usable motorcars and understandably much coveted. Extremely robust, wonderfully reliable and infinitely eye-catching; they are, understandably, one of the most collectable motorcars available today. Manufactured on the 24th November 1953 and dispatched to the Jaguar dealer in Los Angeles, the car was repatriated in 2003, in need of restoration. The body was removed and the car totally rebuilt mechanically including the fitment of a five-speed gearbox, disc brakes all-around and an electric cooling fan. The body was then restored to a high stand and the interior re-trimmed using top-quality leather. The net result of this significant investment is a Jaguar that can be used regularly and one that will enjoy being driven with both ease and enthusiasm, as confirmed by a thoroughly thrilling road test. Supplied with a Jaguar Heritage Certificate and a V5 registration document, this is altogether a brisk, handsome and well-sorted motorcar with enirely thoughtful improvements to vastly enhance the overall driving experience.Full details and specification Mark as featured

**Pictures coming soon** The Lotus Evora 400 is the fastest Lotus road car of the New Millennium. Its lightweight chassis has been lowered and widened to make cockpit entry and exit to the 2+2 composite body easy. The Evora 400 exudes the Lotus spirit of lightness and driving purity so succinctly. Despite producing 400 hp (406 ps) from its 3.5-litre supercharged V6 engine, with its comfortable cabin displaying many new features, the overall kerbweight of the Evora 400 has been reduced by 42 kg over its forebear. As a result, its exquisite power to weight ratio, combined with an aerodynamic package that maintains zero lift but increases downforce at high speeds, simply enhances its supercar appeal. The exquisite 3.5-litre V6 engine has been modified significantly to achieve the supercar performance of the Evora 400. Its induction system has been supplemented by a revised supercharger and a water-to-air chargecooler, that raises power to an outstanding 400 hp (406 ps). Select the first of the its six, close-ratio, manual gears and the acceleration is viscerally exciting. In fact, the automatic version is even swifter off the mark, its performance sharpened by the Race setting in the Dynamic Performance Management system. A V-max of 186 mph (300 kph), experienced from within the Evora 400's purposefully equipped and comfortable cabin, provides proof positive that Lotus makes supercar ownership not only extremely focused but also both entrancing and giant-killing. Underpinning the Evora 400 supercar is a brand new, efficient, structurally rigid and low weight extruded and bonded chassis-tub. Based on more than 60 years of Lotus racing and sportscar developments, its torsional rigidity is outstanding. As one of the strongest chassis available, it allows the suspension to work more efficiently, to provide unparalleled grip, amazing comfort, supercar dynamics and an overall balance that is totally engaging. Yet, it is 42 kg lighter than the outgoing Evora model, features more equipment and literally doubles the downforce available.The Evora 400 is Lotus's fastest model, worthy of supercar status. It is stylishly attractive, beautifully designed, yet purposefully aerodynamic. From its aggressive new front cooling intakes, past the fascinating lateral graphics, to its more prominent rear, 5-blade airflow diffuser and new three-element tail spoiler, it is every inch the purpose-built supercar. Yet, because it is a Lotus, the Evora 400 features 'zero-lift', although the aero package increases downforce by 23 kg at V-max, to make more efficient use of its immensely capable road manners.Full details and specification Mark as featured

The TR3-B is an unofficial name given nowadays to the final version of the TR3 which was produced in 1962. It was offered concurrent with the TR4 which started production in 1961 and was a special short-production run in response to dealer concerns that the buying public might not welcome the TR4. It had the body of the later TR3-A and two series were produced, one with a commission number preceeded by 'TSF' of which 530 were produced and one with commission numbers preceeded by the TCF of which 2,804 were produced.

As featured in Evo Magazine.... The Sport 190 was concieved as an Elise race car for the road.

In the hands of talented helmsmen it should be pretty much uncatchable on your average track day." Finished in Quartz Silver paint and a matching hardtop.

I reached my destination and found that 1 bag not there. I made a report of baggage lost and also write online to Dnata Marhaba.
They replied they returned my bag to my departure city, from there I tracked and contact the airlines, they give report that they already sent back my bag to Dubai airport as they received our claim. Now the bag is with Marhaba since Friday, but seem they still want to take longgggg to send it to my place.
Only 1 bag, and until now 1 month have passed they still not delivered my bag to my place. Only got the replies sorry and apologizes another fake promise, just throw responsible to each other between Dnata and Marhaba.
What a wonderful service of Dnata and Marhaba given, just 1 bag, Dnata will replied waiting for Marhaba respond, and Marhaba will respond waiting for Dnata respond, seem Dnata and Marhaba is located in far distance like africa and australia...wow...no one want to responsible and they are proud of their service, what a funny.
