For the chocolate ganache
- 225g plain chocolate (70-80% cocoa solids)
- 250ml double cream
- a pinch of flaky sea salt, to decorate (optional)
- chocolate truffles, to decorate
First, make the caramel. Pour 100ml water into a large saucepan. Add the sugar and golden syrup, gently cook until melted, then turn up the heat a bit and cook until the caramel is a dark golden brown colour. Swirl the pan occasionally to prevent sticking but do not stir. Turn off the heat and carefully whisk in the butter, double cream and crème fraîche – it will bubble up quite high. Add the sea salt. Whisk until smooth, then leave to cool until slightly set. You can make this up to 3 days in advance and chill in the fridge – just gently reheat until soft enough to spread before assembling the cake.
Now make the cake. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a 23cm springform cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate, butter and milk in a large pan over a low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, then beat in the sugar and vanilla. Cool slightly. Beat the egg yolks and crème fraîche together, then mix this into the chocolate mixture, followed by the flour and baking powder. Whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. Stir a third of the egg whites into the cake mix, then gently fold in the rest. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 40-50 mins until firm to touch. Leave to cool for 20 mins, then remove from the tin and finish cooling on a wire rack.
For the ganache, heat the chocolate and cream together over a low heat until the chocolate has melted. Pour into a bowl to cool.
To assemble, slice the cooled cake in half horizontally. Sandwich together with some of your caramel – you may not need it all, but be generous in order to balance the bittersweet ganache topping. Spread the ganache over the top of the cake and sprinkle with some sea salt crystals and chocolate truffles, if you like.

Wow this cake was amazing but I did tweak slightly after reading the comments. I didn't add any salt to the caramel or chocolate which I think worked well and everyone loved it. The cake itself was gorgeous, I would certainly make again even just a chocolate cake. I also added icing sugar to the caramel to thicken it up as it was far to runny and used the left over runny caramel as a sauce on the side for pouring over as well as some cream, like I said everyone loved it.
Should have read the comments first learnt my lesson, this cake was truly awful, I used rock salt as per recipe, thankfully I didn't sprinkle any on top, way way way to much salt, not even sure why it's called salted caramel as it's not it's just a salted cake!!! Like other even though I left my caramel in the fridge it just ran out of the cake, too much ganache also. Really disappointed and truly awful, not a sophisticated thing about it. Awful truly awful..
Made the massive mistake of not reading the comments posted about this cake before I made it!!!!! The actual cake part is ok, the caramel was ok once I had re-boiled it for 10 minutes to make it thicken up, the ganache is totally disgusting - far, far too much salt. I made this for my sons birthday and it was vile. Totally disappointing and a waste of ingredients, time and effort, I wish I had stuck with a tried and tested cake recipe.
check this amazing... easy to do, no bake oreo choco-pops at marmite et ponpon.
A total and utter disaster!
I decided to make this cake for my sisters birthday and sadly did not read the comments before hand. This was the most disgusting, inedible waste of time and money I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. After spending all day making this mess I watched my entire family try to politely chew through a piece in baffled silence. I finally took a bite and realised the horror, like having your head dunked in the ocean. Genuinely inedible. I don't know if the salt amount on the recipe is a misprint or if Hannah Obee has no taste buds. Steer clear of this recipe at all costs, or if its too late, pick the truffles off the top and throw the rest straight in the bin.
massive error not reading the comments before making this cake. obviously as everyone else has said, the caramel was way too runny and just made a mess. the cake is in the fridge at the moment in the hope this will harden the caramel quickly. i haven't put the ganache on yet but im dreading it as that looks runny too! got to take this with me on the train tomorrow and im very worried about what it will look like after the journey :/
was expecting a cake with the wow factor for my boyfriends birthday but maybe i should have just played it safe with a bog standard chocolate buttercream in the middle and on top...
I made this recipe without reading the comments, my own fault. But I was extremely disappointed by the caramel and the ganache, these qualities are so off. Unfortunately it is a massive waste of, quite frankly, ingredients of a higher cost. The cake on the other hand tasted great, and everyone had a lot of compliments however the caramel loomed over the enjoyment a little too much.
Can't recommend this caramel recipe. Like others, I found it far too runny. I tried what someone else did, which was mixing icing sugar in. This made it a big thicker, but also a different colour and didn't taste right - and still not spreadable consistency. I am wondering if there is a misprint in the recipe. ie maybe 100ml of water should be 10ml. I was going to use the caramel as filling for another chocolate cake recipe, for a birthday cake, but decided to use Nigella's custard buttercream instead. The caramel is lovely as a sauce though - but SO sweet. A whole pound of sugar!
I made this cake for my brothers 20th birthday. It was a hit amongst everyone. I didnt use any salt but I think I will next time. My brother warmed his slice up a little in the microwave added a double cream to it and OMG it tasted amazing (to die for!!!).
I would recomend you try it like that. Its been the best cake I have made so far and the yummiest too. Thankyou for the recipe
Lovely cake although having read the comments I made a couple of adjustments.
- I cooked the cake in two tins and sandwiched together which
meant it cooked quicker and more evenly
- I halved the ingredients for both the filling and topping and there
was more than enough
- I beat the filling, when cold, with a little icing sugar to thicken it
and make it more 'butter icing' like.
Worked well, cake delicious
Re the Caramel, the recipe suggests taking the sugar to a golden brown colour. This in fact is not that easy. You will need a sugar thermometer to take it to 340oF, then take off the heat and add the Cream, Butter and crème fraîche. At 320oF all the water will have evaporated so at this stage things happen very quickly so lower the heat and keep a close eye on the temperature. I would say any temp from 320-340 would be fine but no higher as it will start to taste bitter.
Cake is nice but oh my god the salt content is not needed. I wouldn't bother with the salt in the cake and certainly I would not add an extra dessert spoon on the top!
Idea is good but this cake needs to come with a health warning!!!
Shame I threw my cake in the bin after a long baking process and high cost!!
I made this cake for a friend's 50th birthday celebrations. I made the cake in a 20cm pan and due to the richness of the cake 16 people managed to get a slice of it. Everyone loved it and a lot of people said it was a 'chocolate cake for adults'.
I did find the caramel too runny and it ran down the bottom side of the cake. It didn't impair the flavour whatsoever, it just looked sloppy.
I didn't add truffles as suggested nor did I sprinkle salt on top as I felt it might be a bit much, and it was the right choice to make.
I found there was too much ganache and too much caramel so in future I'm going to half the recipe.
I made this cake and found that even after the maximum cooking time it wasn't cooked through. I didn't discover this until i attempted to halve it, even though it felt firm to the touch when I took it out of the oven. It didn't matter too much, it just made it a bit harder to handle.
I've attempted to make caramel fillings before and have never yet been succesful, finding, like others, that it comes out once you put the top layer of sponge on. So instead I bought a really good quality jar of caramel and added a little maldon salt (flakes) to that, which worked perfectly. On the whole a lovely chocolatey cake.
Made this for my daughter's 16th birthday - but as she is lactose intolerant had to vary the recipe. Used lactofree cream cheese in place of the creme fraiche, used lactofree milk for the milk and again lactofree cream. For the butter I substituted stork for pastry (not a tub but a packet). This won't be any good if you are allergic or intolerant to cows milk protein, ut if it just the lactose then the lactofree range works really well.
I would agree with others' comments that the caramel is too runny - maybe try taking it to hard crack? And there was way too much caramel and too much ganache. I would maybe do a third of the caramel and two thirds of the ganache.
Did taste nice though very rich.

Max Payne 3 ReviewBy Jake Gaskill - Posted May 14, 2012
Max Payne 3 is an action lover's wet dream that also happens to employ some of the slickest direction and transitional trickery this side of a David Fincher box set. Lock and load. It's bullet time...time.
The Pros
- Unrivaled combat fluidity
- Slick, cinematic presentation
- Brutal and expertly directed story
The Cons
- Odd use of quick-time events
- Golden guns feature kills pacing
After almost nine years, Max Payne, the pill-popping, bullet dodging, cop with nothing to lose and a penchant for horizontal gunplay has returned in Rockstar Studios' Max Payne 3. When it was first revealed that MP3 was going to be the next title from Rockstar Games, there was a nearly audible reaction of, "Why?" from a good portion of gamers. After all, it had been nearly a decade since anyone had seen Max in action, and it seemed that it would stay that way, since he wasn't exactly a character gamers were clamoring to see resurrected.
Thankfully, Rockstar ignored our collective abandonment of Max Payne, and decided to once again put Max at the forefront of the third-person action genre by delivering a bullet-adoring, genre-defining, shooter experience to rival this generation's best, and the result is Max Payne 3.
When the original Max Payne burst onto the PC scene back in 2001, with its melodramatic, film noir-inspired presentation and Matrix-style bullet time-centric combat, it was definitely a breath of fresh air, and a large number of gamers no doubt still remember sinking countless hours into the game just because the bullet time turned standard shootouts into something completely unique. It also told a twisted and unforgiving tale of corruption, redemption, and desperation, presented in a comic book-panel style in between scenes of explosive violence.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne carried its predecessor's torch admirably, maintaining the core mechanics, tone, and style fans loved while adding a still impressive layer of physics that took the slowed down action to a whole new level. Watching thugs get spun violently into the air in slow-mo never got old, and it helped make the sequel a worthy successor to one of the most groundbreaking shooters ever, even if it did feature plenty of similar scenarios (the least appealing of which involved navigating window ledges). In short, it felt like a natural, less game-changing next step.
With Max Payne 3, Rockstar once again hits all of the expected series beats, most of which players have come to expect from the genre in general, but it does so with such flair, polish, and focus of vision that what you end up with is a game that has an old-school heart in a next-gen body. You'll still need to track down painkillers to heal yourself, but you'll be doing it as a fully motion-captured James McCaffrey who moves at a noticeably slower pace than the much younger Max Payne from the previous games. Max narrates the story in his familiar pseudo-noir wordiness, but now it's accented with a system that projects choice words and phrases into the scene and turns video into still images that are then used to pull off the comic book panel effect.
This artful balance of old and new is mirrored in the game's story as well. The narrative jumps between flashback and present day, telling the painful tale of how Max was pulled out of his whiskey-soaked stupor by former policeman-turned-hired gun Raul Passos and thrown (bald) head first into the gang and corruption-fueled madness of the Brazilian criminal underworld via his political powerhouse of a client, the wealthy and supremely connected Branco family.
The story itself has more twists than a Twilight Zone-themed roller coaster (damn you crazy metaphor-laden narration!), some of which are rather obvious, but others that completely caught me off guard. I can already anticipate some players referencing the Mexico portion of Red Dead Redemption when discussing the closing chapters of MP3, but as was the case in RDR, I found myself being pleasantly surprised by the meatiness of the final act, pudge included.
The scope of the story is equally impressive, taking you from the snowy streets of New York City to the sun-baked back alleys of Sao Paulo to the over-the-top decadence of a multimillion dollar yacht under siege in the Panama Canal. Each setting brings with it a unique color pallet, and is crammed with a staggering amount of detail. Imagine all of the effort Rockstar puts into bringing its open worlds to life. Now imagine all of that effort concentrated down to individual set pieces (that are still quite substantial in their own right), and you'll start to get a sense of how remarkable these place spaces truly are.
But for as slickly told as the story is, it's the presentation--the stuttery video feed camera effects, the sans-loading screen transitions between gameplay and cutscenes, etc.--that bring MP3's "cinematic" vision to life. You should know though that while there technically aren't any load screens, the first half of every cutscene is an unskippable load time. Obviously, being forced to watch a brilliantly directed and well-acted cutscene instead of staring at a load screen is hardly a bad thing, but I figured you should know.
You should also know that those gameplay/cutscene transitions I mentioned before will have you screaming with girlish joy, because they flow so naturally that you honestly won't even realize they are happening. One second you're watching Max run at a dude to push him out of a nearby window overlooking a dance floor and the next you're crashing through said window only now you are aiming at other enemies scattered around the club below, picking them off as you fall towards the ground surrounded by glass and the bracing against the body of the dude you just tackled out the window. There are numerous action-packed transitions like this, but even the standard move from cinematic to gameplay is slick as all hell.
Honestly though, the crowning jewel in Max Payne 3's multi-jeweled crown is the combat. The animations systems driving Max's movements are easily the best of any third-person action game I have ever played. The way he shifts his weight when changing directions to the way he is able to roll around while prone, enabling him to blast fools in a full 360 degrees to how he looks popping painkillers with one hand and popping caps with the other are nothing short of extraordinary. And that's not even taking into account what happens to the poor bastards on the receiving end of Max's remarkable actions.
Building on the Euphoria-powered AI behaviors established in Grand Theft Auto IV, and then expanded in Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 brings death to life in more moan-inducing ways than you can imagine. The way bullets impact bodies in the game is cringe worthy enough, but thanks to the new and improved final kill cam--another series staple--you get you watch in slow-mo and, if you hold down A/X, super slow-mo each individually rendered bullet rip through the flesh and bone of your enemies, before their bodies slump to the ground, filled with gaping, blood-spurting wounds. Action doesn't get more joyously and bloodily balletic than this, and it all plays out without a single hiccup or slowdown even during the most chaotic of shootouts.
For as glorious as MP3's action and presentation are, the game is not without its missteps, as small and few as they are. Similar to the oddly placed platforming sections in the previous two games, MP3 includes a couple of equally odd quick-time sequences at specific points during the story. Considering that you have to pull them off successfully to progress, these moments could have easily just been part of the cutscenes they appear in and nothing would have been lost.
The golden guns feature introduced in RDR makes its return in MP3, but it feels a bit out of place given the game's linear design and more narrow narrative, because it means you'll be spending time scouring every corner of every level to find the various gun pieces needed to unlock the golden weapons. While I do like that it pushes you to take in every inch of the gorgeously designed environments, it defuses the game's otherwise fantastically frenetic pacing.
The same could be said for the television programs (despite the pertinent info provided by the newscasts detailing your actions) and the returning ability to play a little ditty on various pianos scattered throughout the game. You can also find clues (a picture, news clipping, a character hiding in a bathroom stall, etc.) that can give additional context to the story events, but this at least fits in with Max's detective past, and therefore feels much more organic than tickling the ivories while someone you're supposed to be rescuing is somewhere with a gun pressed against their head waiting for you to show up.
Once you've finished Max's lengthy single-player campaign, you can then replay every chapter in the game in either Score Attack (new to the series) or New York Minute (a franchise staple), both of which will have leaderboard fanatics coming back on a daily basis to ensure their name remains at the top. You'll want to play through the story mode again and again anyway because the combat is just that good, but having the option of doing so while racking up points and/or racing against the clock are welcomed additions.
As was the case with GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 includes a robust, challenging, and super fun multiplayer component in addition to its substantial single-player offering. The standard deathmatch and team deathmatch are the perfect places to witness/cause massive amounts of fluid death, but Gang Wars mode is where I found myself having the most fun. Not only does this mode tie directly into Max's story (you play as members of the gangs Max fights against in New York and Brazil), but it plays out over five chapters, each of which gets a specific voiceover narration setting up the story behind the showdown, and 10 game modes. So one round you might have to grab cash and bring it designated drop off points, and the next you're trying to stop the other team from blowing up key points around the map. This sort of multiple game type setup is nothing new to multiplayer, but it works beautifully here.
One of the big questions for MP3 mulitplayer was how bullet time was going to work. The answer is remarkably well, because it's based on line of sight. So when you dive and there's no one around, you just dive. But if you have an enemy if your crosshairs, time slows for you and the targeted player. If the other player breaks your line of sight, time speeds up again. It's an elegant solution, and one that rewards quick thinking and map awareness while also letting players enjoy the franchise's signature gameplay features outside the main campaign.
The multiplayer also features a mega crap ton of challenges to complete and perks/weapons/gear/attachments/characters/outfits to unlock. The perks (Bursts/Sutures) system adds a great deal of strategy to multiplayer, as they offer all sorts of ways to counter opposing perk-based efforts. Having weight impact health regen and movement speed is another nice touch, since it discourages tanking in favor of lean, mean fighters.
Perhaps the most talked about multiplayer feature in MP3 is Crews. These are just clans--complete with fully customizable logos that can be crafted over at Rockstar's Social Club site--but MP3 crews will eventually be transferable to GTA 5. Initiating vendettas against another player in multiplayer matches is one thing, but being able to start feuds with other crews is just good fun, and it adds an extra layer of camaraderie to the entire multiplayer experience.
Max Payne 3 is a technological tour de force that will have you screaming "Dear lord!" more times than midnight mass. The performances are top notch, the action plays out with unrivaled fluidity, and the multiplayer is deep and rewarding. Silly distractions aside, Max Payne 3 is an action lover's wet dream that also happens to employ some of the slickest direction and transitional trickery this side of a David Fincher box set. Lock and load. It's bullet time...time.

Think Fast
Two local Primary Stroke Centers utilize the latest technology to help save lives
By Jana J. Monji 01/21/2010
You may think you're too young to suffer a stroke, but if you're reading this article, chances are you're wrong, said Dr. Lance Lee, medical director of the Advanced Primary Stroke Center at Glendale Adventist Medical Center, who has treated stroke victims ranging from people in their late 20s to the elderly.
"I recently had a 29-year-old patient who had a post-partum intravenous stroke," Lee recalled in a recent phone interview.
The use of birth control pills, smoking and certain genetic conditions can predispose a person toward having a stroke, and the symptoms are not particularly well-known, even though strokes are the third-leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the United States.
Glendale Adventist is one of two certified Primary Stroke Centers serving the region. The other, Huntington Hospital in Pasadena, received certification in September as a Primary Stroke Center, a facility able to treat different types of stroke victims that has on hand a staff of physicians (an emergency room doctor, a neurologist, a neuro-interventionist and a neurosurgeon) that can provide comprehensive care.
"Most people know what to look for with heart attacks, such as a chest pains. But people do not know about the symptoms of stroke and often wait for things to get better," remarked Dr. Arbi Ohanian, director of the Huntington Hospital Primary Stroke Center.
That's a big mistake. Time is critical in such a situation. A stroke victim has only about three hours to get medical attention to prevent permanent brain damage, beginning at the onset of the symptoms, not from when he or she arrives at the emergency room.
Ohanian recommended thinking FAST: Facial drooping or numbness; Arm weakness or numbness; Speaking difficulty to the point of being incomprehensible; and Time, which is limited. Don't hesitate — dial 911.
According to Lee, "Los Angeles County changed their ambulance policy in November of last year so that stroke victims come to the nearest stroke center (instead of the nearest emergency room). That has made a huge different in recovery and survival," he said.
It's the lack of a sense of urgency and the public's limited awareness of strokes that may prevent victims from going immediately to a hospital where they can have medication administered during the three-hour window.
Other independent risk factors include diabetes, an elevated cholesterol level and an irregular heart rhythm, according to Lee. In these cases, preventative measures can be taken. Lee, who has been with Glendale Adventist for 11 years, stated that their stroke center was certified in March 2008 and was the first hospital in Los Angeles County, outside of universities, to gain certification. UCLA Medical Center was actually first.
In addition to the primary stroke center, Glendale Adventists has endovascular specialists who may be able to extend the treatment window for victims in some cases from three to five hours.
One major tool in fighting the effects of a stroke soon after it occurs is the use of Tissue Plasminagen Activator, tPA, sometimes called "clot busters," because it dissolves blood clots and decreases disabilities caused by stroke. "In 2008, we gave three people tPA. Just last month, we treated the same number with tPA because we are a lot faster at reacting." The Huntington center is involved in clinical trials on treatment with UCLA."
Ohanian, who trained at UCLA, came to Huntington specifically to work at the stroke center. Recent advances in medicine have given patients renewed hope, he said.
"If you look back 15, 20 years ago, we really didn't have anything to offer stroke patients," Ohanian said. "But in recent years, there have been several breakthroughs."

? i had a alright system, i had 2 12's pioneer tsw120 svc 4 ohms 400 rms each the 2007 versions and a mono block mtx amp tc8001 800 rms at 2 ohms in a sealed box 1.25 internal volume each chamber hooked up in a stereo installations place, the system was in my 97'' dodge ram 1500 truck extended cab,,it was running off my factory alternator and i had a alpine head unit i got from circuit city CDE-9872........... for the past months im sure its not normal but my subs have been vibrating constantly when i have the volume fully turned down or when the volume is barely up like during commercials when talking,,,,its like the sound of a 67 camaro when you turn the ignition on and it idle's- warms up the engine but more bassey>>>>>so if you know what that is let me know thanx
When you turn off your system or put the volume on 0, does it still vibrate on subwoofers?
let me know

Kicker square 8" L7 dual 4-ohmn voice coils, wired in parallel for 2-Ohmns end load
Thanks man!!!
Now,if you notice that the amp shuts off or goes on protection, you might be out of luck and have to run it 8 ohms. This should be a fast test as its very easy to take the sub out and rewire it in series if it doesnt run 2 ohm stable. Let me know what happened. When i get to the shop tomorrow ill double check on that amp for you.
Thanks Bay! I wasn't sure if the amp would cooperate with 2 Ohms sub, 4 ohms speaker connections.
But like i said just try running the sub at 2 ohms (im sure thats what you want) and run the speakers at 4 ohms. If it doesnt work, just run the sub in series..let me know what happens.
Hi, I have a 2002 Honda Accord and about $250 to spend on an alarm.
I want a very good alarm system, definitely needs keyless entry and remote start would be nice too. If not how much extra would it cost for the added remote start?
I was thinking about either of these two, what do u think?
Those 2 alarms are great basic alarms. Those will give you the basic keyless entry, flashing lights, door trigger, LED light, shock sensor. They will NOT give you remote start.
As far as price goes, thats way too much. For the Viper, you should be spending between $185-200 max. On the Python, you should be looking at about $160-175 max. I would check around for a local car audio specialist store to be able to get that pricing. Circuit City and Best Buy charge way too much.
If you want to do remote start, you will need an extra module to bypass the computer on board. It will cost you about $85 for a module plus an alarm system that has a remote start brain. A remote start system installed will cost you at least $350+ depending on the alarm.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
I used to do some crazy systems in my cars, and enjoyed doing all the work myself. The one I liked best was back in 1997. It was a JVC headunit with a 6-disc changer in the trunk; I had a US Amps 50x2 that was quite happy down to 1 ohm, so I ran my front Kicker components and my rear Pioneer coaxs in parallel from the 2 channels, and also had a Kicker Solobaric 10" 4ohm sub running from the bridged channel. I estimated about 50 watts at all 4 corners, then about 250 watts to the sub. Each had passive inline coil crossovers after the amp for frequency filtering. Lastly, I had a 1 farad cap so I didn't choke the life out of my little car's electrical system. Damn, I loved that thing.
BayAreaaa, it's nice of you to offer your expertise on this. Can you offer deals on equipment too?

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass ... it is about learning to dance in the rain.
I can offer you good prices from my shop alone, but thats about it. Most online retailers of car audio are NOT authorized dealers. As i stated in original post, always buy from an authorized dealer (to protect your warranty).
If you ever find something you want, send me the link or let me know what it is and ill let you know whats a good price or not.
I've done my own alarm and stereo installs , but so far nothing i've installed, except some after market HID lights, work properly...my poor 2k6 suzuki reno .
At any rate, I'd like to have all the components repaired and probably replace the head unit i've installed (the alarm works *ok*).
My stereo install worked for about 2 months then the left speakers started going out. Went back in and rewired everything via crimping, but its still intermittent. Did I mention the LCD went out on me ?
Wired up an infiniti 1300a amp which sounded GREAT for a grand total of about 3 weeks, but I had it mounted in the middle section behind the center console (I usually don't have passengers back there, and the amp had nice blue lights on it), then my girlfriend knocked a can of cream soda onto it...sigh.
First alarm install went not so well. Went with an off brand unit that worked for a bit, but the actuator never fired. Went back in to rewire and shorted the unit out by accidentially touching the ground to power. Lesson learned. On the same install I tried to do the remote start which DID work (and impressed the heck out of friends/family/onlookers), however I didn't crimp and tried to cut the wire to make my own wiring, but something must have gotten crossed as the ignition fuse blew once (but I knew where to look).
Went with an autopage (forgot the model) which works ok now. Only problem is is that my drivers side door didn't come from the factory with an actuator (hence my alarm install), and my education on physics hasn't allowed me to position the actuator to reliably fire the lock up, so I must manually unlock but I can lock via remote (silly I know).
Parts broken..lol...lets see...
Door panels (back on)
door trim hinges (fixed for the most part)
various fuses, including ignition fuse (fixed)
But hey, for a first timer....my car still works! I freaked out about 100 times (specially with the blown fuses) but I know the ins and outs of my car like a champ now.
But here I am, beaten and bruised. I admit, I do not need to be doing this type of work. IT feels great to get my hands dirty, and i'm willing to learn, but for all the money and time i've spent for nothing to work, I guess I should just call it done. I would consider going to the installer institute down in (florida?) but the tuition is outragious, on top of my fees here at the university of washington ~.~.
So, how do you guys find good installers? I've asked my local dealer who they recommend, but they couldn't tell me anyone (I think they are surprised someone asked).
I've seen a few local shops, but i've heard a few horror stories for just about every place.
I know most of the stuff i've done in my car doesn't work to a degree, but I have basic electrical knowledge and have appropriately wired all signal / low voltage wires, ground and power wires in a safe, reliable manner (as far as I can tell).
Some of the extreme hack jobs i've seen are down right dangerous, and not knowing how they did it / being able to fix it myself worries me.
Should I stroll into a shop and ask to see their work? What are some local resources I can go to to find a reliable installer?
I'm in Tacoma/Seattle, Wa BTW.
Thanks for any help.
Hi, thx for the reply. It's nice to see the SD community being so diverse and being able to help each other on stuff besides deals. If you ever need any computer advice, don't be afraid to ask.
So why would you pay more for the viper than the python? From the websites of both, I thought they pretty much had all the same features. Since I don't really know too much about cars, what brand of alarms would you recommend? Like I said, security and keyless entry is something I definitely want. But it would be nice if I could get a remote start too but it's not really needed. If it's too much I'd rather spend the money on sub+amp instead of the remote start.
Oh and since my car's a 2002 Accord, it has a chip in the key. Does that mean I'll have to lose a key or buy a new one for the security system to work? Thanks

The reports said inmates were unable to shower for several days and some toilets lacked enough water to flush.
According to City Manager Ford Patton, the water shortage at the prison happened as a result of mechanical failures at two of the city's five water wells that happened at the same time.
Patton said Well 15, which has been in service for about eight months, went offline on the morning of Sunday, July 21.
When employees with Veolia, who operates the city's water system, learned about the failure of Well 15, attempted to turn on Well 14, which had been rehabilitated recently.
"Within three or four hours after it being turned on, it went down," said Patton. "Those are our two best water wells."
The fact that both wells went down at the same time, put a severe limit on the amount of water the city's system could produce, Patton explained.
Veolia notified the prison about the water issues and officials with the Connally Unit placed limits on water usage until the situation could be resolved.
Patton explained that Veolia workers as well as other contractors worked hard to bring both wells back online as quickly as possible.
Once the repairs were completed, water quality tests needed to be passed to ensure the water was drinkable.
Well 14 was put back into operation on Friday, Aug. 2., Patton said, and Well 15 is now operational, but awaiting a clear test to be reconnected to the water system.
The Connally Unit, Patton explained, is by far the city's largest water customer, consuming about 22 million gallons of water each month. Patton noted that the prison's average water usage has doubled since it was first built in 1995.
The prison, which is outside the city limits, currently uses more than half of the water produced by the city's water system, Patton said, even though the prison population of about 2,000 is far fewer than the city's 3,330 residents.
As far as he knows, the prison was the only water customer affected by the recent issue. The system was able to maintain adequate storage, despite the failures of the two wells, he said.
The city is currently exploring ways to enhance the city's ability to increase water production capacity, Patton said.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesperson John Hurt told The Karnes Countywide late last week that the issue was resolved late last week.
Hurt said that when the city's wells failed, it caused water to be drawn out of the TDCJ water tower on site at the prison.
There was plenty of drinking water, Hurt explained, but the number of showers were limited for a few days. An inmate is normally allowed one shower per day, he said.
Water tanker trucks were brought in by TDCJ to help supply water to the prison, Hurt said.

My 13mth old baby has 2 front teeth nearly fully out and it's beginning to really hurt when feeding. I'm left with 2 big red sore indents each time and it feels like a knife when she's at my breast.
I bf just at bedtime, have tried to change the position so that its less painful, but nothing seems to work so far. Plus she seems to be wanting to suckle/chew for up to 45mins now and I know that I've only a small amount of millk. I had hoped that her wanting to stay longer at my breast would increase my supply, but it hasn't. Before she would feed and fall asleep and it was easy to put her into bed. Now she wants to stay at my breast suckling and it hurts and I'm getting really fed up. I don't want to have to resort to quitting bf'ing altogether just yet.
I went through 5months of pain initially as my skin is very fragile, and the only way in which I could continue to bf (after trying loads of things) was to take homeopathy (to toughen up the nipple area). I gradually stopped taking homeopathy once I reduced the feeds. Do I have to go back to this?
She seems to be using breastfeeding as a way to get to sleep too. Is this bad? What will happen when I decide to stop bf'ing?!

The NorthStar Flip & Swim Jig is a very versatile grass style jig that can be used for both for flipping and pitching, as well as, as a swim jig. It comes equipped with a 3x-strong, 30-degree round bend hook, which delivers rock solid hooksets, whether you are fishing the heaviest cover on the lake, or swimming the 3/4oz model underneath a canopy of milfoil. Its pointy head and swept back weedguard help it snake through all types of thick cover, while its wide-base also keeps it from tipping over when it hits the bottom. A 60-strand, hand-tied silicone skirt, 3D eyes that are glued and then epoxied, as well as, a granite-like powder coating, combine to create a durable, lifelike presentation. NorthStar recommends that whatever you do with the Flip & Swim Jig that you use a stout rod, heavy line, and hang on - because bass love to punish the NorthStar Flip and Swim!

Customer Reviews
Comments: One of my favorites. Pair it up with a Biffle Bug and it's money
From: Tim: TX
Comments: Josh, this is my go to heavy cover jig...Big enough weights to get into the heavy stuff and great head/heavy hook to get them out.
From: Douglas: TX
Comments: How's this jig for pitching into heavy cover?
From: Josh: Up Yonder
Comments: Hands down the best jig I own; a little upset now that I have been spending so much money on others. This is a very versatile flipping or swimming jig! I am now buying more and will be the only jig I use for both applications.
From: Brett: NY
Comments: The quality and durability of this Jig is unmatched. I have caught 30+ fish on one and it looks like the day I bought it. And I have ran it through some nasty stuff. For a compact trailer, the Rage Tail Menace is UNBEATABLE. I flip this combo into pockets and holes of thick matted grass and hang on tight because the bite is almost instant. Favorite Flip and swim is the 1/2 oz Kentucky Bluegrass followed by Bama Craw.
From: Jake: TX
Comments: High quality and high performance for a reasonable price. Nearly identical to the Dirty Jigs Cali Swim, buy these and save 1.50 on each one. Put a Havoc Grass Pig cut down to 4" on the back, slow roll thru deep grass, and hold on for a vicious shark attack-like strike. I bought 3 last time, and im' buying 4 now bc they work so well, only prob is I lose some fishing them in rivers so be careful around rock.
Comments: Very unique jig that is one of a kind. Throw this thing in the heaviest of cover or slow roll it in deep water. However you choose to throw this jig you can count on it catching fish and living up to the quality that NorthStar stands for.
From: Rick: TX
Comments: Great jig, i like to flip and swim my jigs. This and the Hack Attack jig are the best i have found for double duty. The Kentucky Blue Grass is my favorite color.
From: Ryan: IL

Looking for advice on whether you have a business plan that actually has potential? That's a conversation for another day. Want some basic steps to taking your business plan online? Read on.
"The biggest mistake I see most start-ups and individuals make is spending way too much money on custom development of their Web site. They believe the site needs numerous features to support their product or service when in fact you can start with a basic few," said Bill Gerneglia, chief technology officer at CIOZone.com and the former chief technology officer at About.com. "Sophisticated features can get expensive, especially if there is custom development involved."
Gerneglia said he's seen too many entrepreneurs seeking funding for business plans who blow their initial cash reserve or seed money, and who then look for additional funding to "enhance their platform" and "bring it to market" -- before they've put their product in front of the public.
"The site has to be good, clean, simple, functional, and very responsive," Gerneglia said. "Best to launch initially with minimal functionality and continually improve along the way."
"You really want to launch with the smallest number of features" on your site, said Jonathan Lambert, chief executive at WorkHabit, a California company that helps startups get online using open source products, and grow their businesses using social networking tools. Your brand is important, but the best looking site in the world won't help you if your site's functionality causes potential customers to throw up their arms in frustration and walk away without buying what you're selling, he said.
Don't waste money on office space if you really do not need it. Set up a home office instead. If you are successful and can afford to bring on employees, ask them to do the same.
First Steps
Your computer will need a generous amount of hard drive space (between 2-6 gigabytes, experts say) and memory (the Microsoft Vista operating system requires a minimum of 1 gigabyte of RAM; you should opt for at least 2 gigabytes), as well as fast and stable Internet connectivity.
In addition to office software for word processing, spreadsheets and e-mail/calendaring, you may need an editing tool for hypertext markup language and FTP software for uploading files to your Web site.
Will you be showing images or video of your products? Add a camera, image/file transfer hardware and software, editing software, and perhaps an external hard drive to archiving those big image and video files.
Are you going to sell products? At the minimum you'll need some way to securely and privately accept payments, and manage inventory and customers.
The key is staying focused on selling your product (and not someone else's product), and not on getting carried away with notions about being an award-winning Web site developer -- unless, of course, that's your product. But let's keep things general here.
Get Online
Follow this basic process:
- Find a domain name that reflects your business. See if it's available at allwhois.com.
- Register your domain name with a reputable service such as networksolutions.com.
- Find an internet service provider to host your site. Try godaddy.com. It has reasonable rates.
- Install a content management system that can grow with your business, such as Joomla or Drupal.
Content management systems are the basic tool you need to publish and update your Web site. Joomla and Drupal are free and based on open-source development. That means that improvements to your site's functionality -- and its ability to be customized -- can be made with the help of a wide community online rather than a private company. And since it is free you have the benefit of accessing that community for assistance in improving your own site. Water and Stone offers a good overview of open-source systems.
If all that sounds like too much, Lambert advised checking into a variety of turnkey solutions, including Yahoo! Merchant Solutions and Monster Commerce at Network Solutions.
Whatever software you use, at its most basic it should support content presentation and templates for formatting and getting your message across; and a shopping cart with a secure payment method. Customer management and newsletter publishing would be added benefits.
Set up a merchant account through your bank, with an online security guarantee called an SSL certificate, that accepts credit cards as your primary form of online payment. Don't invoice for products or services if you do not have to.
"If you do not feel comfortable plugging all of the pieces together there is an abundance of help available," Gerneglia said.
So now you're the hub of your soon-to-be online business venture. The next step is putting something online for people to see and buy. That may first mean writing copy, taking pictures and video. Or, maybe you have a partner who can accomplish that for you.
You will want to organize these assets -- the products and their marketing materials -- and plan how you want potential customers to easily find them and spend money, and get them published with your new content management system.
The organization of content, design and functionality should be built around a simple balance: What do you want a visitor to your site to do, and what do they want to do? You can answer the first in your business plan; the answer to the second part will come from seeing whether they buy what you're selling. Want to know more?

Ohio Northern University's College of Law to present the 2013 Carhart Program on Legal Ethics
Ohio Northern University's Pettit College of Law will present the 2013 Carhart Program on Legal Ethics on Monday, Oct. 7, at 11:15 a.m. in the Celebrezze Moot Court Room. The program will feature Madhavi Sunder's presentation "From Goods to a Good Life: Intellectual Property Law Beyond Efficiency" and Jon Garon's "To Promote the Progress: Incentives, Exclusives, and Values to Build a More Perfect Creative Culture."
Sunder's book, " From Goods to a Good Life: Intellectual Property and Global Justice," which was published in 2012, calls for a richer understanding of intellectual property law's effects on social and cultural life. Sunder is a leading scholar of law and culture. She was named a Carnegie Scholar in 2006 and has been a visiting professor of law at the Yale Law School, the University of Chicago Law School, and Cornell Law School. Her work traverses numerous legal fields, from intellectual property to human rights law and the First Amendment. She is the Thelton E. Henderson Visiting Scholar-in-Residence at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law for 2013.
Garon will analyze the judicial history of assumptions about incentives and contrast those with the economic and sociological analysis of these incentives to suggest a better balance of incentives for creative culture and the benefit of society. Garon is the inaugural director of the Northern Kentucky University Chase Law + Informatics Institute, an attorney, and professor of informatics, entertainment, intellectual property and business law. He has extensive practice experience in the areas of entertainment law, data privacy and security, business planning, copyright, trademark, and software licensing. His teaching and scholarship often focus on business innovation and the development of best business practices regarding the exploitation and effectiveness of the information and data systems in business, health care, media, entertainment, and the public sector.
The Fred L. Carhart Memorial Program in Legal Ethics was established at ONU's College of Law in 2007 through an endowment from the estate of alumnus Dwight L. Carhart in memory of his father, Fred L. Carhart, a lifelong attorney in Marion, Ohio, until his death in 1948. The program brings eminent scholars, jurists and lawyers to Ohio Northern to actively engage in lectures, seminars and panel discussions for the benefit of students, the college and University communities, the public, and the bench and bar.

'Hot' competition looks to save energyJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff File Photo
Zach Green, of Northfield, caulks around a new insulated basement door during a weatherization project at a Williamstown home. A statewide challenge asks homeowners to commit to taking energy-efficiency measures this year.
MONTPELIER — Rob Apple's multistory home built in the 1850s had major heating losses until a few years ago.
Apple said he has saved about 20 percent on his heating oil bill each year due to weatherization improvements from 2010 or 2011, which included adding insulation like cellulose between the second floor and attic and putting foam on his basement walls.
"The air coming out of my basement was basically sifting through the house ... and there were considerable opportunities to tighten up the place," he said Thursday, standing in his Winter Street home with Gov. Peter Shumlin to advocate for a new initiative for other Vermonters.
If a statewide energy assistance service, Efficiency Vermont, has its way, more than 3,500 homes across the state will follow suit in the Home Energy Challenge. The initiative calls for people to pledge to make improvements this year, such as using energy-efficient light bulbs or a programmable thermostat.
Towns can compete with others in their region to see which can achieve the highest percentage of homes weatherized this year.
The state is trying to meet a goal of weatherizing 80,000 homes by 2020 to improve energy efficiency. Last year, 1,000 households underwent weatherization projects, Efficiency Vermont officials said. To meet the goal, 5,000 homes need to be weatherized annually, the officials said.
Vermont's Weatherization Program pays for such improvements for households whose income is up to 60 percent of the median. Kelly Lucci, a spokeswoman for Efficiency Vermont, which is run by the nonprofit Vermont Energy Investment Corp., said the program has a waiting list of more than a year.
Apple received a rebate on some of the improvements he made but said he still had to "bite the bullet" and spend close to $8,000. He said the investment probably will be returned in about five or six years.

Last Call for Farmers' Markets
Winter is here! Last Sunday, my sister, nephew and I went to Headhouse Market, a farmers' market run by The Food Trust at 2nd and Lombard Streets. The changing of the seasons at the market means apples, butternut squash, romanesco cauliflower and other fall harvest goodies.
Eating seasonally definitely has its benefits. Take apples, for example. Two of my favorite vendors are Three Springs and Beechwood Orchards. Both orchards have been family run and operated for over five generations! Even better, they offer so many varieties: macoun, honey crisp, gingergold … All beautiful colors and flavors!
Farmers' markets typically close for the season after Thanksgiving (next week!), so if you can, venture to yours this weekend.
An apple a day,

The Japanese tradition of pounding mochi isn't just about pounding mochi, its a way of bringing the "wa," or what the Japanese call the harmony of the people, together. Family and friends in Mililani gathered on Monday to pitch in for the day long event that has been passed down for generations.
To start, sticky rice is placed into the "seiro," or wooden steaming frames. The rice is then poured into the "usu," a bowl usually made of mortar or wood, and then pounded until smooth with wooden mallets.
"Our days, every time when you pound they used to make the call, 'yoisho, yoisho, yoisho,' it's the sound you make, the rhythm pounding,'' Stanley Haraga said.
Everyone will be here for most of the day, working together, perpetuating a tradition the adults hope the children will continue when they grow up.
"If someone doesn't pass it on, that culture ends. If we don't pass it on, then the next generation won't know," Linda Fujikawa said.
Kellan Kashiwa is one of the grandchildren that participated in Monday's tradition. He hopes to continue swinging in the new year for many years to come.
"A lot of our generation aren't doing this and it's always a good custom to bring on," Kashiwa said.
It takes about five minutes until the consistency is pounded down into a smooth texture. When it's just right, the mochi mixture is brought to a table dusted with potato starch where it is molded into perfect shapes, and sometimes filled with sweetened azuki beans.

Pimco raises $5.5bn to buy bank assets
Bond giant Pimco has raised $5.5 billion to buy bank assets in the US and Europe and has closed the fund to new investors, according to a person familiar with the fundraising.
The Bank Recapitalization and Value Opportunities II fund, or Bravo II, is being led by deputy chief investment officer Dan Ivascyn and will target a range of unwanted assets on the balance sheets of banks, including residential and commercial real estate assets.
Investors are lining up to snap up the unwanted loan portfolios and real estate assets. Many of the targets lie in Europe, where banks have been busy shrinking their balance sheets primarily in order to meet stricter capital requirements.
Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that two of Italy's biggest banks, Intesa Sapaolo and UniCredit, were in talks with US private equity firm KKR regarding the sale of some of their restructured loans.
Commerzbank said in February that it had sold €710 million of Spanish commercial real estate loans to investors. In the UK late last year, the Royal Bank of Scotland sold its first portfolio of UK commercial property assets to hedge fund Varde Partners, and in August, Spain's 'bad bank' – set up to house assets from the country's bailed out banks – sold its first real estate assets to private equity group HIG.
California-based Pimco, traditionally a bond-house and home to the world's largest mutual fund, has been busy diversifying in recent years. Bravo II follows the $2.4 billion raised for Bravo I in 2011.
Pimco's new chief executive Douglas Hodge told Financial News last month that he wants to broaden the firm's equity expertise, including backing the hiring of teams by equity chief Virginie Maisonneuve. The firm offers products in derivatives, multi-asset, real estate, private equity, real return and emerging markets, but is still 90% exposed to fixed income.
Ivascyn, previously a credit and mortgages specialist, was promoted to the deputy CIO role in mid-January following the unexpected departure of chief executive Mohamed El-Erian. El-Erian's exit left Bill Gross, who founded Pimco in 1971, as sole chief investment officer.
Andrew Balls, head of European portfolio management; Mark Kiesel, head of Pimco's corporate bonds group; Scott Mather, head of global portfolio management; Mihir Worah, a former particle-physicist who heads up Pimco's real-return portfolio management team; and Maisonneuve, were also promoted to the deputy CIO role.

For all the grief that Jermichael Finley has taken – and, as the Green Bay Packers tight end readily admits, he frequently brings it upon himself – perhaps nothing creates a bigger stir than when he brings up the issue of his chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
He talked about it during organized team activities in May. Then there was agent Blake Baratz criticizing Rodgers' leadership ability via Twitter in September, which Finley denied having any role in. The topic came up again in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel weekly magazine Packer Plus in November.
But here's the thing: As is often the case with Finley, it appears he was simply being honest. He may not have gone about it the right way, and he might've chosen some of his words poorly, but it looks like he was right.
Because as his fifth NFL season – and, perhaps, his final year with the Packers – winds down, Finley, who has 24 receptions for 324 yards and a touchdown in the past six games, is playing arguably his best football since the knee injury that ended his 2010 season. And why is he playing so well?
Because he's on the same page with his quarterback, who has made a concerted effort to connect with Finley in recent weeks.
"It makes a huge difference, just because I look at him as not only a player I play with, I look up to him because of the position he's in. I look up to '12' more than just as a football player now – as a person," Finley said. "It's valuable. I always tell '12,' 'We're more like each other than different.' We're not like each other across the board, but I think we've found things where we're alike. They say he's a little sensitive – that's me, too. They say he's competitive – and I'm competitive to the max. I think some things match up."
One other similarity: Back when their chemistry was an issue, neither player was making the effort to come together. Rodgers' leadership style is one that asks his teammates to show him that they care, and while others were doing that, Finley wasn't.
For example, first-year wide receiver Jeremy Ross, who was called up from the practice squad on Dec. 1, said that the NFL MVP gives him all the time he needs when he comes to him with questions about the playbook – even though Ross is the No. 7 receiver on the depth chart.
"I try to pick Aaron's brain a lot. I talk to him a lot, just to see what he's thinking, so we can be on the same page," Ross said. "Because if there is a situation where I have to contribute on offense, I want to be on the same page as Aaron so when I get out there, I already know what he's thinking, I know what type of signals he's going to throw up, I know his gestures, his looks.
"He's a guy that, he likes people that want to be better. He loves people that want to learn and are humble. He's a really down-to-earth guy. He's been so kind to take his time and sit down with me and go over stuff. When we're at the hotel (the night before games), I can go into his room and we go over and over stuff. He's been a great help."
Then, in October, Rodgers decided he needed to take a different approach with Finley. Twice, he'd invited Finley to come to his room to talk football – and life – but Finley didn't show. So he sought Finley out after the team's 9 o'clock meeting broke the night before the team's Oct. 14 game at Houston and made sure the meeting happened.
And every week since, it has.
"With a lot of guys I have just the open door policy. You know where my locker is, come talk to me. I got time," Rodgers explained. "Some guys, you need to put a little more time in yourself.
"I've enjoyed getting together with J-Mike and just talking ball and talking life. He's a big-time player. I don't want to say that (the meetings are) the reason that he's been playing better; I think he's been getting more opportunities, I think he's feeling healthy. He was dealing with a significant shoulder injury early in the season. He's feeling healthy and he's running strong and making big plays down the field. He's doing the things that we know he's capable of doing, so I'm really proud of him. I think he's been doing a really good job and we're going to need it down the stretch here."
Finley, who suffered a A/C joint separation in his shoulder Oct. 7 at Indianapolis, caught only two passes for 12 yards against the Texans that night while playing in pain, but his involvement in the offense has steadily increased since.
"Any time players spend time to together, it's beneficial," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "I'm a big believer that you don't just win because you spend more time (on the practice field). I think winning championships is much more beyond that. You talk about chemistry, you talk about culture. Everybody talks about how do you build it, (but) how do you continue to grow it?
"Those are the types of things that are so important, the group dynamics. So when you see relationships like Aaron and Jermichael's – and there's a bunch of them going on – that's very important to team success. It's helped everybody. It's not just helped Aaron play better or Jermichael, it's helped everybody because they all invest into the chemistry of the locker room. That's how you win, in my opinion."
According to quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo, who was Finley's position coach before moving to QBs in the offseason, for all his bravado, Finley might have been afraid to approach Rodgers and needed him to make the first move.
"I'll say this: Jermichael and I go back. He's important to me. I care about him. I want him to do well. And whatever he is doing right now, he is headed in the right direction, and it's nice to see him playing well, playing fast, playing confident," McAdoo said. "So whatever's going on there (between Rodgers and Finley) needs to continue.
"It's different. He's established, he's an NFL MVP, he's a Super Bowl MVP, and he may be even more valuable this year than he was last year. He probably is, with a lot of things having changed this year. He has to make that effort now. So I can see that.
"I can see why guys might feel a little intimidated to approach him. He's like Bon Jovi."
While McAdoo's comparison might be a bit dated – "I'm a little out of touch," he said, laughing, of his Bon Jovi reference – there's no denying that Finley's game has changed for the better.
At Detroit on Nov. 18, he had a 20-yard touchdown catch and an enormous 40-yard catch-and-run to set up the game-winning touchdown. Against Minnesota on Dec. 2, he caught six passes – his most receptions since he had seven in the season opener against San Francisco on Sept. 9 – for 60 yards. One of those catches against the Vikings was a 21-yard gain on third-and-9 from the Green Bay 21-yard line, a play that led to a field goal.
"The night before that game, Aaron and Jermichael talked together about running a route a certain way if they got a certain coverage. It was a big third-down in the game, and they got the coverage they had talked about and Jermichael did what they had talked about," offensive coordinator Tom Clements said of the play. "Things like that, if you can be on the same page, and the quarterback knows what the receiver is going to do and he does it and does it well, it's going to make both guys more productive."
Now, Finley enters the regular-season finale at Minnesota Sunday with 53 receptions for 595 yards and two touchdowns, putting him two shy of his career high in receptions (55, which he set in 2009 and matched in 2011) and three shy of the franchise single-season record for receptions by a tight end (56, set by Paul Coffman in 1979).

What we need is a new coach and to build a team that follows his style starting with this year's draft. Kinda like what the New Orleans Hornets did when they hired Byron Scott.

A happy patient of the doctors clinic is glad to hear that nothing may change – for myself at least. I have used this clinic for years, and Dr. Chin has given me the best care I can get for my disabilities. He is a kind doctor with some of the best bedside manners I have seen. All the clinic personnel have the same principles and kindness. Their smiles and friendliness is unseen in any other clinic I have used.
Again, the high professionalism of the team is one of the best in our town. I would ask them to please not move or leave for any reason at all. Their unselfish acts of kindness and great care will be needed here for many years to come. They should start now with a younger doctor; take him under their wing and teach him the great values of this team and to step up and take over the clinic when these doctors retire. We need good unselfish doctors in this town.
Dr. Chin is one of the workers comp. doctors I have seen since 2004 when I got hurt on the job and was forced to leave my place and everything behind. I moved back to Beeville and found him and his team as a fresh new start of life in myself. They encourage me to continue to work towards a goal of as normal a life as I can have now and keep my smiles going. This keeps me moving and gives me reasons to do my hobby of stained glass artwork. I give crosses away every year for Christmas and wish to continue to do so. With Dr. Chin's approach and great attitude towards me, I do not give up but continue to get better.
Thank you, Dr. Chin, and to your whole team. Your services are appreciated by myself more then you know. To the new management company, thank you for stepping in and keeping this awesome group together and making my life better in the future by using the great doctors at this office.
Next thing is: what's going to happen to hospital? We need the best care here, and we deserve the best care for our tax dollars out of this fine hospital.
I am also a Bee County ham radio operator and backup communication radioman. I volunteer to help this county have the best radio support in times of need. Just a call away via ham radio, and a email is sent to tell people help is needed.
I can continue to do what I enjoy to do and help this county and others be safer during a hurricane or major disaster, all due to Dr. Chin's help and attitude to keep me smiling and upbeat about myself. There's no place can you get better care then this group of doctors.
Support your local fire department, volunteer or donate today to show that our city and county does appreciate these fine services of all volunteers.
