1979Damian replied to Focusoap's topic in Ford Focus ClubI've got a MK2 and I agree that the cluster display isn't that bright. However unless mine has the sun shining directly on it, it is still readable. If you can post a picture then I'm sure you'll get prompt feedback.

1979Damian replied to mattyboge's topic in Ford Focus ClubYou need to checked for stored error codes, if you want to save money paying a dealer to plug their computer in you can purchase a cable that can be used on a laptop with software called Forscan. It allows you to now just see stored codes but it can be left monitoring whilst you're driving, which can be usedful when trying to diagnose an intermittent issue.

1979Damian replied to AndrewClaytonUK's topic in Ford Focus ClubThe panel is typically referred to as the 'rear quarter panel', unless it's smashed to bits a bodyshop will using 'pull out' any dents and smooth over with filler. A whack on a wheel from the side isn't great because it can bend suspension components, although as long as the chassis itself isn't damaged it should just be a case of a garage replacing any damaged suspension components and then checking the wheels are aligned correctly. From the pictures it doesn't look like it was a particularly large impact so hopefully it'll just be cosmetic work that needs doing.

1979Damian replied to starbuck88's topic in Ford Focus ClubYes mate, it should be manufactured by Garrett, I think Garrett's model number for the Mk2 1.8 TDCI turbo is 'Garrett GT17V VNT' if you want to google it for more information.

1979Damian replied to Alastair Dean's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubIt could be, but it could be something as simple as a failing engine mount. The top engine mount on the drivers side has a fluid filled 'bladder' in it that has a habit of cracking due to old age, with no fluid in it the mount stops absorbing the engine vibrations (of which there are many with most older diesel engines) and you get a bit of rattling/vibration through the pedal and/or the bulk head when idling. To be honest there is no way to be sure if the DMF is on it's way out, the LUK brand DMF for this engine tends to be pretty solid I'm currently on 128K without any DMF related worries and there are others that have cover 150K+. If the car is otherwise in really good nick i.e. it feels like it's been cared for, I guess like all used cars it's a bit of a gamble. I've driven 2 vehicles previously where the DMF was (and did) fail, both exhibited a 'tapping' sensation through the clutch pedal when it was pressed down, until the point the DMF went bang! (literally) Is the car being sold by a dealer or privately?

1979Damian started following Mk2 1.6 Focus Overheating
1979Damian replied to gwengo's topic in Ford Focus ClubHi all, I had the infamous joint leak, I sourced the O-Rings from Ford and got them fitted (with a bit of butchery to the plastics to get the heater matrix out). However I can't seem to apply enough pressure to compress the o-rings enough to get the black clips back on. Does anyone who has done this job before have any bright ideas, rather than me paying £££ to a garage to remove the dash and do the job 'properly'?
1979Damian replied to 1979Damian's topic in Ford Focus ClubJust got back in from checking the upper part of the footwell and it appears to be good news. I've got the jointed pipes so no cutting involved, there is no evidence of coolant above the joint in the pipe so it looks like the matrix is fine & it's the seal/collar that seals the pipe joint that is at fault. The 'collar' that's leaking is that loose it can be rotated, the other one is rock solid. (Panic over!) Thanks to Alb in the 1st instance for starting me on the right path & pky for adding some useful extra detail. I'll post back once I get chance to try fixing it (I'm working away through the week so if I can't find somewhere tomorrow to source the part it will be weekend before I can update. Thanks again
1979Damian replied to 1979Damian's topic in Ford Focus ClubThat sounds like better news, I didn't realise it was a relatively common issue unlike a few other things we could all mention! I'll take your advice & have a trawl through the forum.
1979Damian replied to 1979Damian's topic in Ford Focus ClubI'll have to take a closer look tomorrow but according to the Haynes manual the early build MK2s used single length steel pipes that have to be cut to remove the matrix, the newer builds have jointed pipes.
1979Damian replied to 1979Damian's topic in Ford Focus ClubBOOM!..You are the man....Just been out to the car to check the footwells and I carbon wrapped a load of interior parts a few months ago so it didn't take much looking to see the tell tale signs of coolant leaking into the cabin. I removed the drivers side trim & pulled the carpet back & it's immediately obvious that large amounts of coolant have been making their way under the carpet & out of the underbody drains. Time to look in the Haynes manual to see how hard it is to get access to the matrix/pipes etc.
1979Damian started following 2008 Mondeo 1.8tdci queries
1979Damian replied to Alastair Dean's topic in Ford Mondeo / Vignale ClubThe 1.8 TDCI is an old Ford unit with the modern bits bolted on (high pressure fuel rail, turbo etc), it doesn't have a DPF & other than a dodgy batch of injectors is pretty much bulletproof. It's a heavy old lump (cast engine block rather than the aluminium which is used in the 1.6/2.0 TDCI's which both have DPF's), it's not as refined as the 2.0 TDCI but you don't really notice it when driving, just when it's idling or you're stood next to it with the engine running.

As part of my preparations for Raging Swan's fabulous third anniversary, I've spent some time working on updating and improving Raging Swan Press's website as I'd recently decided there was definitely room for improvement. The results are now live and you can check them out by following this link. I hope you find it better laid out, easier to navigate and better to use.
If you've got a moment, I'd appreciate you taking a poke about and letting me know what you think. Also, if you spot any dead or broken links it would be great if you could drop me a line here or on creighton [at] ragingswan [dot] com so I can fix them. I've hunted down all the ones I could find, but some are bound to have snuck through.
Thanks very much!

I love this place
Well from the moment you ring for a appointment the staff are always happy to accommodate you in anything that you need and are very professional. When I arrive at the establishment they have always made me feel welcome from the moment I step into the door till I leave. I always feel like I am at a friends house chatting about stuff and joking about life, what is needed after a stressful day at work.
When having treatment I have found the girls to also be understanding and help with any questions I have; when I went for a wax I honestly thought that it would hurt and I would be screaming the place down but when I had the treatment I have to say it didn't hurt at all..... so you know that they are professionals and know what they are doing. When I had a facial I felt fresh and felt totally refreshed (what was amazing as I had a heavy night before).
Honestly try it once and you are hooked!!!!!!!!!!!

The eight-year-old child of Frank Leder was injured Saturday by running into the barb wire fencing around the Pacific highway pavement north of Medford, her lip being cut. As a result, the barb wire is being replaced with plain wire.
In spite of watchmen and barricades, people insist on clandestinely traveling the pavement before the concrete has set, which will result in permanent injury.
The pavement is now laid for a distance of 2,000 feet south of Medford, averaging over 350 feet a day.
Mose Barkdull says he will bring no more sea crabs to his Medford friends on returning from his trips to the coast. On his day trip to Eureka and Crescent City, the one that proved so disastrous to Old Doc Yak, he thought it would be a fine thing to carry some of the seacoast delicacies home to his Medford friends. Consequently, he caught a large mess of crabs, placed them in a box in his trusty car and started home with them.
On the way to Medford occurred the distressing accident to the car. Some delay was brought about, but Mose, still trusting in the crabs, with his heart full of kindness for his Medford friends, loaded the creatures into another car and came on into Medford.
But Mose's friends didn't care for crabs. No, they didn't eat crabs. The wife thought it was cruel to eat the little creatures. Mose trotted around to one after another of his friends and received the same polite refusal as to the crabs. At last he decided he would have nothing more to do with the creatures and dumped them in a box behind Weeks & McGowan's store. A complaint was filed by the firm and Chief Hittson discovered them there, after a while, with true detective instinct. He found who was the previous owner and requested that Mose take care of them.
Mose didn't care to look another crab in the face by this time, but he obeyed the chief. He took the crabs and emptied them into the University club's unused garbage cans, near the Mail Tribune office. A complaint resulted in Maru, the steward, disclaiming all responsibility. Chief Hittson found them and again Mose was given five minutes to take them away. He did.

Why American cars are better than their European rivals?
We have often seen the car fanatics argue about European cars and American cars. And, most of the time the Americans get beaten. But not this time bro! Let's take a look why.
#1. Customization- this is where the American car manufacturers started to beat the European manufactures. American muscle cars are bigger in size. So this helps the owner to have more space for customization. Starting from attaching an aftermarket nitrous oxide to a adding a bigger superchager, the American muscles have all the space. Not only that the cars are much more spacious from inside. But in case of European cars; the cars are designed in such a way that there is nearly no space for extra parts. All the space either gets used by the freaking gizmos or is too compactly designed leaving very less or no space.
#2. Appealing– Starting from 'Gone in sixty seconds' to the 'Fast and furious' series, American muscle cars have always been the epitome of attraction. The word that is suitable for the cars is 'sexy'. Research shows that girls are more attracted towards men using American muscle. Reason being simple that due to their monstrous size American cars make an average looking man much more powerful. And chicks always dig for strong looking men.
#3. Price– The Americans have always outsmarted the Europeans when it comes to the price tag of the cars. Let's take into consideration a small example- A 2014 Chevy Camaro 1LS, powered by a 323 bhp, 3.6L, V6 engine will cost something around $24,000. Whereas a BMW 6 Series coupe houses a 3L, 315 Bhp will drag $76,000 from your pocket. So instead of buying a BMW it's suggestive to go for 3 Chevys, one for you, one for your wife and one for your son. And not just that, you can still afford to pay for 6 months of gas after buying the cars.
#4. Sound– When it comes to Americans, they have always hated decibel limits. They always go for big. And their cars do not disappoint. They sound as big as they look. European cars have always gone cheap when it comes to sound. They seem to hide something. But American cars are big and loud. When you start your Audi or Merc in your garage your spouse may be happy hearing the sound and thinking that you are meddling with the blender in the kitchen. But that's not the case with American cars. They are big and they are loud and they are what you call manly. When a BMW purrs, a Dodge roars.
#5. Gizmos– The Europeans have always fantasized sophistications. Their cars are no exceptions as they load the central console with too many switches and buttons. That's not the case with American muscles. They are much simpler. The European cars are so sophisticated that even Sebastian Loeb will become Stephen Hawking behind a Jaguar's steering wheel.
So next time your German friend boasts about the BMW sitting in his garage, lend him the keys to your Ford Mustang

If this topic has been specifically addressed, I apologise, but I've searched and haven't been able to find a comfortable answer yet.
I'm new to WP; got 2.0.1; and kind of a newbie also, so please type slowly :-)
I've created a half a dozen new categories but have stopped short of moving old posts into the categories until I'm satisfied that the permalinks to the original post will remain intact.
In other words, if I take a 2 month old post called "Crappy Post Number 220" and move it into a category called "Crappy Old Posts", what will happen when people click on a link to the post from another blogger's page that references "Crappy Post Number 220"? Will they get an error, or will the referencing link still take people to the original post?
Not only do I wish NOT to inconvenience the other bloggers and their readers, I do not wish to damage my PageRank either. If that means having to leave my old posts uncategorized, then I guess I'll have to leave things as they are and begin categorizing from today forward.
Anybody? Thanks in advance for your answers :-)

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Brandon Roy scored 27 points and the Trail Blazers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 111-94 on Monday night in a game marred by Portland's Rudy Fernandez being carried off the court on a stretcher after a hard foul.
Fernandez, a rookie from spain, was hurt late in the third quarter when he was by Trevor Ariza while going up for a shot. He was carried from the court on a stretcher with his neck in a brace.
Fernandez was conscious and alert when he left the court, and he had full movement of his extremities, the team said. But he was experiencing chest pain and was taken to a hospital.
Travis Outlaw added 22 points for the Blazers, who have won 12 straight at the Rose Garden.

There are few wigs to choose from in petite sizes and most of them are extremely short??? Too bad.

Diversity or Solidarity? Making Sense of the "New" Social Democracy

AbstractOne of the key discussions emerging from within the centre and centre-left of British politics is the means of combining a commitment to diversity with the aim of achieving social solidarity. While there has been a populist strand to this debate recently with the contribution of writers such as Goodhart who has argued that diversity specifically undermines the willingness of the majority (white Anglo-Saxons) to pay for collective welfare provision, there has also been recognition of the difficulty of promoting difference and unity from within even the more sympathetic elements of the academic literature. The purpose of this paper is to consider the nature of this dilemma and to propose a tentative solution. In essence we suggest that the problem lies not in creating a fit between the two elements for the sake of making the 'new' social democracy work but in rebuilding traditional social democracy.

Energy stocks bubbled up as top ideas several times at the 18th annual Sohn Investment Conference, held Wednesday in Manhattan, where hedge-fund managers offered picks and pans to raise funds for charity.
No overriding theme connected the energy stocks highlighted. Nor were energy prices a key element. And there was little discussion of the boom in shale drilling. However, these names were clearly a popular topic.
David Einhorn said yesterday that shares of oilfield equipment and services company Oil States International OIS -0.6205398696866273% Oil States International Inc.

Tor Olav Troim, of Norwegian investing firm Fredriksen Group, talked up the growth in deep-water drilling in the search for more oil and gas. These projects require floating rigs and transportation infrastructure, but Troim argues that orders don't match anticipated future demand for rigs.

Troim also made the case that natural-gas supplies will eventually be shipped to where they are needed most. Global gas prices vary widely, however, and that story will surely take time to play out.
Jonathon Jacobson, founder of Highfields Capital Management, said investors should favor payouts backed by strong cash flow, rather than capital markets financing. That would call into question plenty of Master Limited Partnerships—those yield-rich energy companies with tax-friendly structures.
Jacobson reiterated questions circulating about how Linn Energy (LINE), an MLP, accounts for hedging gains, and tipped his hat to Barron's, which recently published a skeptical article on the company. (See "Twilight of a Stock Market Darling," May 4.)
Energy has been making headlines for other reasons too. Goldman Sachs just announced its list of the 40 stocks with the most upside and nearly half are energy names.

In the refining business, oil prices have been volatile, and there's plenty of conflicting opinion about if and when the party will end for these stocks.

"great story with cool premise"
A great Asimov story with a great premise. This book puts forth a time travel / time disruption theory that Asimov touches somewhat in his Foundation series. That being that most small changes in time are eventually corrected by the sheer momentum of the progression of time. So time tends to negate the effect any changes made upstream in the down stream time line. In this story then are the group of men known as the 'eternals' - obsessed with making changes that will actually alter the course of time over the long haul - supposedly for the good of all mankind. But is it really good for mankind? fun story. Narration is sometimes very over-dramatized (which is a little distracting). BUt still a great quick read/listen.
"A great look at why meddling with tim is bad"
Here is another great book by Isaac Asimov. Here we meet the 'Eternals' that decide what should and should not happen in Eternity. We meet a young 'Technician' that learns there is more to living in his Eternal world with only men in it. He also learns that all is not as it seems and through a simple act all of Eternity can be undone. For anyone thinking that time travel will solve all our problems this book will explain why that is false. We also learn why a George Orwell society with ultimately fail and must fail.
"Performance so bad couldn't finish it"
I really wanted to get into this story, but the ...random... pauses in... the reading made it unbearable. This narrarator should never do science fiction; it felt like he didnt even understand what he was reading half the time. I'm not the first reviewer to notice this flaw.
I'm usually very skeptical of narrarator critiques; it seems every book has some reviewer complaining about the performance. But in this case, I should have believed the past reviewers who made this very specific complaint.
"Edge of eternity"
I would recommend this to everyone who likes to think. the charaters were believable and that helped to transport you into the story
I could compare this work to I,Robot. also by Asimov or 1984 by Orwell (although not be that name) in that someone is making choices for the rest of humanity --for their own good. You could also read some of these concepts in Mein Kamf by Hitler.
Harlin--although I almost always indetify with the hero
When it became apparent that Harlin was making the decision to act on his own, and try to think for himself. When he took her to the far upwhen.
My two favorite topics are Baseball and Military History. But my favorite books of all time are Starship Troopers and Ready Player One.
"Sadly, my first Asimov."
I honestly don't know why I never before picked up an Asimov book. Sci-Fi is far and away my favorite genre, but there's so much to read and so little time.
I chose this one because other reviewers claimed that while less popular, this is Asimov's best work. I'm looking forward to some of his other books, but am not in a big hurry i.e., his "best work" didn't capture me the way Heinlein's worst books do.
Eventually the philosophy emerged, but for more than the first half of the book I was disappointed by the paucity of insight regarding the consequences of cultural interference via time travel and the exponential incalculable effects of such.
The premise of the book is the Eternals' nanny state, "we know what's best for mankind's evolutionary path" and their manipulation of causation in order to calibrate the maximum desired outcome with the least amount of interference. This is about as deep, philosophically speaking, the book gets until the last 1/3 to 1/4, but I enjoyed in immensely.
A basic love story where the protagonist is bound by duty, but captured by love... more sensuality. Asimov's description of the girl, in her translucent outfit draped over perfect curves and her amorous personality, had me going.
"First Read"
My first Asimov novel...a time travel tome with a twist at the end. I think I'll do another one.
"Time traveling must be exhausting"
I'm guessing if you're thinking about this book it's because you've read other Asimov books and liked them. Time travel can be a confusing subject, so Asimov approaches this book a little differently than most and asks some off-the-beaten-path questions. Look at what might happen over a 100,000 years...
"Classic Asimov and Classic Sci-Fi!"
Yes, mostly because of the narrator's voice and him doing an excellent job of conveying the emotions of each character in the book.
Any of Asimov's books. I've not read any Asimov in years, but listening to this one brought me right back and recalled all the other books he has written.
I have not heard him read before, but found his reading of this book well done!
Yes, it sure was. I actually listen to books while I commute and even when my drive was done each day I didn't want to stop the audio but keep listening!
Great prelude to the Foundation books, and another one of his books which falls beautifully in line with his Robot and Galactic Empire books.
Joel Szerlip
"Far More "Science" then Fiction"
I love time travel books. However The End of Eternity is less a fictional tale of time travel rather then pure science fiction with a huge emphasis on the scientific portion of the equation.
The characters feel a bit robotic and I just never really cared about the characters or how everything wraps up. Time Travel should be more fun then this!
"Didn't make it to the end"
For the first time I didn't finish a book. I can and have soldiered through bad books but I just couldn't with this one. I didn't like the characters or the story line.

I've bought two machines from them, I haven't made a red cent, it has done nothing but cost me money!! I've moved the machines 3times!! Always hoping it would do better!!! Costing me more and more money each time!!
Today I cancelled my current contracts with the internet providers, still have the costs of the machines though. Was thinking of putting them on E-bay, but if I do that if there is an inquiry about this I won't have anything to physically show I was unfortunately a part of this!! Any suggestions??
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to climb on the bandwagon to try and recover some of the monies I've lost. Can someone contact me with updates or a pro-active approach to this?? I've already filed a complaint with the FTC, submitted that last night. Just found out yesterday!!
After reading some of the other horror stories I realize that I'm in a little bit better shape than some but still in the same boat!!
Let's get them, if we band together with resources we can do something, even if it takes awhile. The key is to put these people out of business, all they are going to do is go to another state under another name and do this again.
I did some research before I did this, took over a month to think about it and still I'm writing this today.

I have my discharge as of Sept 2012. Simplexity still charged my debit card $800.
I called the company and they refused to refund my money.
I contacted my attorney-My attorney emailed, Faxed and Sent letters to this company stating they need to refund my money well it has been a month no response.
The next step is court.
We are able to collect punitive damages from this company along with our $800.
With all the reports on here we will go to court. I don't care if it takes every single dollar I get to pay the attorney I would rather give the money to my attorney than to let them keep it and get away with this.

Characterization of Single-Shot Large-Signal Phenomena
Device and PA Circuit Level Validations
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the latest release of GoldenGate, its RFIC simulation, verification and analysis software.
Agilent EEsof EDA's GoldenGate 2013.10 provides RFIC designers with easy-to-use EVM-, BER- and ACPR-type measurements and enables them to quickly analyze and diagnose problem areas in large-signal analysis. Additionally, it offers a number of new capabilities to reduce simulation time and increase design efficiency.
Advanced wireless standards such as LTE Advanced (4G) and 802.11ac (WLAN) put high demands on linearity, bandwidth and noise performance, which is changing the nature of transceiver IC design. GoldenGate 2013 introduces new verification test benches that allow RFIC designers to easily validate and optimize their designs using standard-compliant waveforms and measurements such as EVM/ACLR in transmitters, or sensitivity/desensitization in receivers.
"RF system simulations using the actual standard-compliant modulated signals in order to fully capture third-order nonlinearities, AM/AM and AM/PM distortions, spectral regrowth, and memory effects are crucial to develop leading-edge RF products targeting advanced wireless standards," said Juergen Hartung, RFIC product manager at Agilent EEsof EDA. "As a result, designers are now able to identify marginal designs early, as well as overdesigns that add costly, unnecessary die area or current consumption."
While GoldenGate is known for its best-in-class RF circuit simulation performance and robustness, it also provides a host of technologies to explore, analyze and optimize RF circuits early in the design cycle. With this latest release, a new sensitivity analysis has been added that can be applied when analyzing RF circuits, even when running large-signal analyses.
GoldenGate 2013 introduces several enhancements that cover a broad range of applications, including:
GoldenGate is the most trusted simulation, verification and analysis solution available for integrated RF circuit design within the Cadence Virtuoso design flow. Its unique simulation algorithms are optimized for the demands of today's complex RF circuit designs, enabling full characterization of complete transceivers prior to tape-out. GoldenGate is part of Agilent EEsof's RFIC simulation, analysis and verification solution, which also includes Momentum for 3-D planar electromagnetic simulation, SystemVue and Ptolemy wireless test benches for system-level verification, and the Advanced Design System data display for advanced data analysis.
GoldenGate 2013.10 is available now. More information is available at www.agilent.com/find/eesof-goldengate2013.

Brinjal (Eggplant) Curry
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 30 mins
This aubergine bhaji recipe has won rave reviews from my South Indian in-laws, who have very discerning palates when it comes to authentic currys. This dish can either be used as a side dish, or as a vegetarian main dish. It's easy, delicious and a great way to introduce different veggies to your kids.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 300 g eggplants (aka aubergine)
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 tablespoons rice bran oil (or other healthy-option oil)
- 1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
- 1 cup sliced onion (slice each half-onion thinly, making half-moon shapes)
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
- 1⁄4-1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on taste)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon turmeric
- 3⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- Cut the eggplants into 1-inch pieces- preferably keeping at least one side of each piece with the skin on.
- Put the eggplant pieces into a strainer and sprinkle liberally with salt. Place a small plate on top of the eggplant, and a weight on top of the plate- this process draws the excess water out of the eggplant, and it won't be overly salty. Leave for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil in a heavy pan. When hot, add mustard seeds- they will start to pop in a few seconds. When they begin to pop, add the sliced onions, garlic and ginger. Turn the heat to medium, and cook until mixture is nicely browned.
- Add cayenne pepper, tumeric, garam masala and cumin to the onion mixture. Cook spices for a few minutes, then add water and tomato paste, and reduce heat to low. Let the sauce cook gently, but don't allow it to become dry.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil over moderate heat. Add eggplant pieces to the pan, and arrange in a single layer. Saute until all sides are brown and crisp.
- Once all eggplant pieces are browned, incorporate them into the sauce pan, making sure to cover all pieces with the sauce. Add lemon juice and salt.
- Cook gently until eggplant is cooked through (about 15-20 minutes). Stir occasionally (and very gently) and serve.
Most Helpful
Yummy, yummy! I made this pretty much as written - except I used fresh chillies instead of cayenne, and to cut down on washing up I browned the aubergine in the same pan that I later used to make the sauce.
This was so very good, the addition of the mustard seeds really added to the overall flavour. I used fresh hot peppers in lieu of the cayenne, and also threw in some tomatoes.
Very tasty! I had a large eggplant so doubled the spice ingredients. I also sliced the eggplant instead of cubing and cooked them first on a griddle pan - looks good (see the picture I posted) and cooks quicker. I also threw in a can of diced tomatoes and 2 fresh tomatoes sliced into eighths, as suggested in some other eggplant curry recipes. Worked well!

The person who finds witticism in the most obscure places, no matter how serious the discussion, has this message to others: "I'm your court jester. Now don't you at least like me?"

Why is it that no other species but man gets bored? Under the circumstances in which a man gets bored, a dog goes to sleep. Thought Experiment: Imagine that you are a member of a tour visiting Greece. The group goes to the Parthenon. It is a bore. Few people even bother to look - it looked better in the brochure. So people take half a look, mostly take pictures, remark on the serious erosion by acid rain. You are puzzled. Why should one of the glories and fonts of Western civilization, viewed under pleasant conditions - good weather, good hotel room, good food, good guide - be a bore? Now imagine under what set of circumstances a viewing of the Parthenon would not be a bore. For example, you are a NATO colonel defending Greece against a Soviet assault. You are in a bunker in dowtown Athens, binoculars propped on sandbags. It is dawn. A medium-range missile attack is under way. Half a million Greeks are dead. Two missiles bracket the Parthenon. The next will surely be a hit. Between columns of smoke, a ray of golden light catches the portico. Are you bored? Can you see the Parthenon?

Bats are in serious decline nearly everywhere. Worldwide, there are almost a thousand different kinds of bats which comprise nearly one fourth of all mammal species. Of the 43 species living in the U.S. and Canada, nearly 40 percent are endangered or are candidates for such status. . . . Bats may eat their own weight in insects in a single night. They also control such garden pests such as ants, beetles and disease carrying mosquitoes. As the primary predator of night-flying insects, bats play an important role in this balance of nature.

What tires should I get
I recently purchased a moab, and the factory tires are black and Nice, but I need something a little more stylish. Any suggestions?
What kind of terrains? What size tires? Are you planned to take a hit with your mpg? Are you going to lift it? What gears do you have? Auto/stick?
I'm not playing 21 questions, but help us help you by answering the above.
I agree with dawhites. Telling the kind of terrains can really help others to give better suggestions.
Thanks guys! Great question's. I have no idea. I will have to check my manual to answer the ?'s you guys are good. I'm so green @ this. Ha, ha.. let me do my home work, and get back @ cha!! It's a 13. I will take a pic also.. dazzle in distress....;)
A hit? I'm obvious. It appears to be dual auto, stick. Lifting is an option..
Typo!! Oblivious
I'm so confused...
I suggest you drive it for a while and once you figure out how your going to use the Jeep then start to mod it... ie. new tires, etc...,
Now if you just want the looks then that's a different story.. Start with 33's and a 2 1/2" budget boost will look good..
Welcome to the world of Jeeping.
Thanks Jk.. Great advice.

Should Mexicans Pronounce Their Last Names Correctly?
DEAR PHONY MEXICAN: One of my pet peeves is Latinos who pronounce their last names with Anglo accents. For example, Rod-driguez instead of Roh-driguez. I would love it if you would address this. Personally, I believe we Latinos should educate Anglos on correct pronunciation.
Gomez the Groper
DEAR WAB: Before you start correcting Anglos and pochos on how to properly pronounce Hispanic surnames, you might want to take a remedial course—it's Roh-drEE-gehz (emphasis on the second syllable; hence, the use of an accent over the i in Rodríguez). But your question reminds me of a Hollywood story that just might be apocryphal but is a good one. Seems there was a Mexican who wanted to make it into the film industry as a—take your pick—writer, producer or director. His last name was Torres, and he couldn't find a gig. Desperate, the man changed his last name to Towers, and he cried all the way to the bank. Moral of the story? While custodians of Cervantes want everyone to pronounce all Spanish words in a way that satisfies the Real Academia Española, people are going to call themselves whatever they want and change how they pronounce their own names if it makes them feel better. Of course, if a gabacho does it, then we cry racism all the way to the banco.

DEAR MEXICAN: I dated an illegal Mexican from Oaxaca for almost a year and a half. We would sit in my car on his breaks from work, or go for lunch at a Mexican restaurant. He never wanted me to call him at his work and never wanted me to come to his apartment. He said he didn't have a phone where he lived, and he wasn't willing to get to know my family or even meet them. Whenever I would question him and ask him when he was going to spend time with me and my family, he would say, "Next time" or, "Almost." Are all illegal Mexicans this vague? Was he afraid of being caught? He has lived in the U.S. for almost 10 years. Would you please shed some light on the living arrangements and the lifestyles of the illegal Mexicans and their thought processes?
Gabacha No Comprendo
DEAR GABACHA: It ain't the undocumented part of your Oaxacan that caused him to keep you at arm's length; it was the man part. Ever heard of Leykis 101? This hombre seems to have followed it to the teeth, so kudos to him and sucks to be you. Hey, Tom: Blow me up, ¡Ask a Mexican! style!

DEAR MEXICAN: I suggest you replace the ¡Ask a Mexican! column (as they are a dime-a-dozen, and don't we already know by now what they think) with Ask an Anglo, Social Conservative Male as we are the new minority and ready to be embraced, welcomed, defended and promoted as a victimized demographic.

Below is the best 6.2 Windwalker Monk Leveling Spec for dungeons, questing, fast leveling etc… These talents are not set in stone because the playstyle of the player is what really dictates what should be chosen. However, these wind monk 6.2 leveling talents have shown to work great for most players.
Note: Having the right talents is important, but knowing the right rotation will optimize your leveling, pvp, and raiding the most.
Click Here For an Addon With Premade 6.2 Rotations
(Macro tutorial below. May help with leveling faster)
Level 15 – Celerity
Nice talent to have for solo leveling because you can go from mob to mob quickly.
Level 30 – Zen Sphere
Nice short cooldown on this, which really helps put out more damage or side heals if you need them.
Level 45 – Power Strikes
Chi will become a very easy resource to get once you pick this up because it goes together well with Jab.
Level 60 – Charging Ox Wave
If you need to heal up, pop Ox Wave, then heal up. Also, really helps when enemies are trying to flee from you.
Level 75 – Healing Elixirs
This gives you a nice heal on a short CD. If you plan on leveling solo until level cap, Healing Elixirs is the way to go.
Level 90 – Invoke Xuen, the White Tiger
All three talents can be used here because the enemies once you hit 90 will get a lot tougher. I like picking this up for the extra dps it can put out.

London, June 19 (ANI): Two days before stepping down as British Prime Minister, Tony Blair submitted a whopping 6,990 pounds expense claim for roof repairs on his designated second home, it has emerged.
Blair submitted an invoice on June 25 for "roof repairs," and left Downing Street on June 27.
The bill, dated June 8, suggests that Blair arranged for the work to be done after he had announced the date when he would be leaving parliament, The Telegraph reports.
The expense claim is yet another example of an MP taking the last available opportunity to exploit the system to renovate their designated second home with thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money, the paper said.
Blair's claim was reduced to 4,453 pounds by the fees office, but he was able to claim 5,772 pounds in the 2007-08 financial year, despite being in office for less than three months.
British MPs are allowed to claim "winding up" expenses in the weeks before they leave parliament, but more and more outgoing members doing up their homes often leads to the allegation that they are abusing the system in bid to sell their houses on higher prices, the report added.
A spokesman for Blair, however, said: "Roof repairs were carried out well before Tony Blair announced that he was standing down as PM, but the claim was made much later."
Blair's claim forms for the additional costs allowance for 2004-2007 also showed that he claimed 177.13 pounds for food and 131.50 pounds for his television licence apart from an annual newspaper bill of 1,167.48 pounds and regular bills for his Orange mobile phone. (ANI)

Medical, Cosmetic, and Dental Work in Thailand
Medical, Cosmetic, and Dental Work in Thailand
Some excellent medical and dental deals now being offered by the TAT for a few months, through the end of October this year.
A lot of cosmetic surgery specials, and also some excellent spa and hotel deals.
Thought some of you might like to know.
Well worth a look at: www.FindYourFabulousThailand.com

For good notice;
The TAT does NOT offer ANYthing in medicals. They only advertise/run some advertising about the wonders of having medical or other style treatments in TH-ALL done by private hospitals, doctors. etc.Plus that I really wonder why yippie even takes the time to post this on what is about the last young kids bekpek-forum for travel to SEA.

Dentists are cheap 12 mths of the year in Thailand. Only costs 600-800 baht for a filling.
No need to book anything thru scam websites. Just turn up.

Agree with LeonardCohen1, read a local forum like Thaivisa for reviews on doctors, clinics etc, and get the work done. Dental is ungodly cheap here and many of the dentists and doctors are trained in countries like the US, England, Germany, Australia, etc.
My professor from the US runs a study abroad program here and one year when to the dental hospital, yes a full hospital dedicated to dentistry, and had gum grafting done. The money saved was enough to cover his and his wife's round trip tickets.
The only thing that is not cheap is quality dental implants as they have to be imported, the same would be for other implants such as artificial knees.

Fillings (and cleanings) cost 500b at most Chiang Mai dental clinics. No need to look for some special promo deal. TAT is a complete waste of time.

I know the title refers to Thailand but I can also reccommend dental work in Cambodia. $8 for a broken amalgam filling to be replaced with a nice white cosmetic one. It's still there after two years. Bridge work including root canal work for four teeth $500. A lot of the dentists are trained in France.

Tropes related to the metaseries:
- Adaptational Attractiveness: In the novel, Velvet is a "thin as famine" blonde with crooked teeth and considered unattractive (until she gets on a horse). Elizabeth Taylor, of course, matched no part of that description.
- All Girls Like Ponies
- The Big Race
- A Boy and His X: A girl and her horse.
- Ill Girl: Velvet has a weak stomach and generally frail nature.
- The Merch: In-universe, Velvet is disgusted by the merchandise produced to make a quick buck off her new-found fame.
- Pony Tale: Probably the granddaddy of all of them.
- Sweet Polly Oliver: More so in-universe than out. Elizabeth Taylor with a short haircut and a jockey's uniform still looks exactly like a girl with a bob.
- You Go, Girl!: The point is that girls can do great things, too.
