It was a very nice stay! The room has an cool design, it was all clean and the host is very welcoming and helpful. In case I would stay for few days again in Barcelona I will book my stay at Sophia's place again.

The Hoax
- No Rating Available
Movie Review
Pressured by mounting debt and the last-minute cancellation of his latest book, writer Clifford Irving dreams up an idea that he hopes will reward him with a healthy advance and maybe even a bestseller. He convinces publisher McGraw-Hill that he's been exchanging handwritten notes with the billionaire Howard Hughes and has the rights to a tell-all autobiography of the moneyed recluse.
McGraw-Hill begins slavering over the possible fortune such a book could generate, but execs worry about Cliff's veracity. So the spurious scribe, with the help of his friend, Dick Susskind, illegally copies documents from the Library of Congress, steals files from the Department of Defense and forges notes from Hughes to shore up his ruse. Then, using Hughes' hermit-like lifestyle to his advantage, Cliff claims to be the man's only confidant and boldly threatens to take the book to another publisher unless he receives a million-dollar advance. He gets it.
As obstacles pop up along the book's pathway to publication, Cliff's lies become more and more audacious. Truth and fiction mingle into a mudslide that threatens to not only end the author's marriage and hobble a mighty publishing house, but, potentially, destroy a sitting U.S. president.
Positive Elements
Dick tries to support his friend and attempts to hold him accountable. (Unfortunately, he's manipulated by Cliff and finds himself sucked into the scheme.) Cliff's wife Edith also makes an effort to believe in her husband and hold out hope for their marriage, in spite of past infidelities.
Edith urges her husband, "You're exhausted from your lies. Tell the truth." And indeed, The Hoax deals extensively with the traps that lies spring. But you won't find a simple Sunday school lesson here—so I'll deal with both sides of the story in my "Conclusion."
Spiritual Content
It is stated that the Hughes autobiography will "sell more copies than the Bible." Cliff receives a box of important files that he believes were sent to him by Hughes himself and says, "This is like the Torah, sent down from God."
Sexual Content
Cliff runs into an old flame at a party and, even though he steels himself to stay faithful to his wife, ends up meeting later with the woman in a hotel room. We see them the morning after (they kiss); she is dressed in a revealing, gossamer-thin negligee that's open in front, exposing her breasts. To keep Dick from spilling the beans, Cliff gets him drunk and hires a girl to sleep with him. Dick stumbles downstairs the next day dressed in boxer shorts and a T-shirt.
Dick talks of a children's book about Richard the Great that he's writing. He says it's a great story about war and sodomy.
Violent Content
Several men punch and subdue Cliff, kidnapping him. Later, as a final warning, the men throw him off a hotel balcony. He falls several stories into the pool below. They drag him out of the pool and knock him out with a blow to the face. We see his bloodied nose afterward. During one of their verbal arguments, Edith throws a notebook at Cliff and hits him in the head. During one depressive moment, Cliff shoots a harpoon gun pinning a picture of himself and his wife to the wall.
Crude or Profane Language
The f-word is used close to 30 times and the s-word around 10. Jesus' name is misused about 10 times and God is tangled up with "d--n" on five occasions. "A--," "b--ch" and "h---" make a number of appearances as well. There are several crude references to male and female genitalia.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Cliff, Dick and Edith, among others, smoke in several scenes. Cliff and Dick share mixed drinks at a bar. They also drink beer in their hotel room, and Dick drinks straight from mini alcohol bottles on a plane fight. Dick is drinking with two women and Cliff orders another round of doubles in an effort to get him drunk. As the pressure mounts, Cliff drinks heavily and, at one point, takes some pills from a prescription bottle.
Other Negative Elements
Either due to a mental breakdown or drugs and alcohol, Cliff hallucinates a conversation with one of Howard Hughes' subordinates. Cliff's manipulative lies consume him to the point where he can no longer bring himself to tell the truth, even to the people he loves.
Remember when your mom warned you that if you told a lie you'd end up telling three more just to cover up the first? Well, Mom's fib-filled scenario is the heart and soul of The Hoax, a deftly-handled flick (directed by The Cider House Rules and Chocolat's Lasse Hallström) that's based on real-life events from the early '70s.
[Spoiler Warning]
Hoax depicts our world as a place where everybody lies to everyone, including themselves. In fact, the more outrageous and completely implausible the whoppers, the more people believe them. The film's inclusion of R-rated sex, alcohol abuse and foul language do more than just get in the way, of course, but moviegoers eventually see the bad guy get his comeuppance here. Cliff and everyone he touches lose everything due to his compulsive lying—a very clear illustration of the biblical statement that "he who tells lies will perish."
However, the film also whispers the deceptive addendum, "... unless he's really good at it." Howard Hughes, a character we never actually see but whose presence is everywhere, pulls all the "right" deceitful strings and ends up with exactly what he wants. One scene in particular symbolically points to his latent omnipotence: Cliff is speaking before cheering peers about the splashy release of his new book. Our view is framed perfectly to show a huge photo of a young, handsome Hughes peering over the writer's shoulder. His flinty, intelligent gaze grabs our attention and it's easy to imagine Hughes as a giant puppeteer guiding the movements of the hapless speaker. Which, we later learn, is precisely what's happening.
The underlying meaning is subtle but clear. The Machiavellian pros, the real kingmakers, they know how to make chicanery work. You walk out thinking, "That Richard Gere guy deserved what he got, but Hughes sure was something, wasn't he?"

The crumbly sweet ones - Nonna (my friends MIL) puts lemon icing on them. She doesn't have them written down either. She does them all by 'guess' or 'feel'. They always taste incredible.

Re: Easter and Lent...
As children we used to have pink coloured boiled eggs and dippy bread and butter 'soldiers' for breakfast on Easter Sunday ,after going to church (yes ,after church!)... I always used to think that the eggs turned pink by magic couldn't work out why my friends never had pink boiled eggs at Easter !! simple little thing I was ! Of course my mother put food colouring in the pan when she boiled the eggs but I didn't discover that for ages

Re: Easter and Lent...
I am Greek Orthodox as well.
Isn't Greek Easter the second Sunday, after the first full moon, after the equinox? Not that it matters, just wondering. Seems as if Greek Easter is rarely the same Sunday as 'regular' Easter. BTW - my Dad is Greek Cypriot too.
Our family colours the eggs red, plays the 'bashing' game - I sometimes win too. And of course, there is always lamb. Does your family make the braided 'eggy' bread, with the red eggs baked into the bread, like this one?
Not gluten free - as you know, but one of my favourite things.

Re: Easter and Lent...
I wish it was so simple to calculate the date of Easter as La Luna said
You probably wouldn't believe the complexities which derive from the consequences of the Orthodox Church following lunisolar calendar, while the Western Church uses a purely solar calendar
You probably wouldn't appreciate having to learn about the Quartodeciman controversy, or the differences between the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
You wouldn't want to know the various algorithms used in the calculations:-
Best just to buy a diary and rely on that:)
Western & Orthodox Easter fall on the same date this year - next Sunday, the 8th April.
One o these years we will harmonise the dates - but don't hold your breath - talkshave bern going on for the last two millennia

Keep it up George, you're doing well. And so am I (wink wink, nudge nudge). I'm on organic muesli with blackberries.
Are you allowed a big fat Easter egg for Easter Sunday? I have been drooling over them in the shops, trying to decide which one I want most. Rolo? Green and Blacks mini eggs? Oh well, a girl can dream...

Her junk should be only shown in magazines not in front page supermarket tabloid, walking down random street Award shows when she's not even being awarded but shows it all to get attention.KIDS are watching PERV.That is why when She went to Israel they covered her photo with a dinner receipt and only showed her husband because she's considered a PORN STAR and didn't want people there exposed to her!

OK, here is one for you guys. I got a call from a woman who is caring for an elderly man who is now needing full time care. He and the family evidently are trying to "put his affairs in order" I guess. Part of those affairs include moving his hives off the property.
I went to have a look, and found that they are very tightly propalized for one thing, and the wood does not look particularly solid either. I did manage to pull the hive on the left apart and there are a few frames of bees in there. The taller hive on the right has bees too, and I saw them entering the hive at 7:30 pm. The bottom board is about ready to collapse from the look of it.
My thought is to separate the hive bodies as best I can, mark them to maintain position for later possible re-assembly, cut some plywood pieces to cover the tops and bottoms of the bodies that contain bees and strap them together. Then I load them up and take them to my yard (my backyard actually). I guess I should do this all in the evening to improve the chances of most of the bees being home.
There I can better evaluate the condition of the whole mess.
How does that sound?

Fence them in be safe and be a responsible beekeeper.
Say hello to the bad guy!
year five==== 31 hives==== T{OAV}
Cows do like a good rub. We parked our caravan overnight in a grazing paddock and woke up when the cows used the van as a scratching post! My sister-in-law has had to build solid post fences around most of her young trees because the cows deliberately rub against them. Probably a good idea to protect your hives is some way.
Anyway, if the neighbor let the pig loose, they are still liable for what it does. Ask them if they had a dog that they let lose and it bit someone or killed someone's goat/cow/chicken, who do you think they would come after for damages?
If you think anything organic is good for you, go drink some organic solvents.
geek, learning how to be a beek
We have feral (nice word for wild) pigs on our ranch. I trap a hundred or so each year, and I am sure their keen sense of smell would lead them to the hives, as they love all kinds of fruit. Their hair is long and stiff, and I have my doubts about bees being able to sting them. For that reason, I fence off my hives with cattle panels and "T" posts. I also, keep 38 to 45 head of cattle. I just love them, but they are subject to rub their heads on anything at any time. A 1,400 pound cow rubbing her head on a bee hive would be a disaster.
Speaking from personal experience, goats will not bother hives. We used to have 8 goats wandering around the yard and they never tried climbing onto my hives. We still have one goat wandering around the yard and she does not bother my hives. I have no experience with cows, but my mentor says they learn quickly not to bother them. However, your goats and cows might have different personalities.
Good enough is perfect - Joel Salatin
I let a fellow run a pretty good sized herd of goats on my pasture one summer, and they learned real quick to stay away from the hives, without doing any damage. My own cows left them alone as well, though young calves are terribly curious and full of energy, again, no actual damage. Horses on the other hand, proved to be a real PITA with the bees. Knocked hives over, and didn't seem to learn about getting stung.

Great apartment with a really nice view. Plenty of room and the apartment included everything we needed. St Julians Bay is surrounded by nice restaurants and less than ten minutes walks to supermarkets and beaches. A very kind women from our own country welcomed us en explained everything. We could contact them anytime if we needed help, but fortunately that wasn't necessary. Thanks for the great stay, we had a very nice time!
חוות דעת על מקומות לינה אחרים שמציע/ה מארח/ת זה/זו
The apartment was as described. However, the agent welcoming us was rushed and small things felt like they were done "on the cheap ". Some light bulbs didn't work, there was only a couple of sachets of salt and pepper (despite being advertised as having a full kitchen), and so on. WiFi was broken for best part of a day. The agent should sort this stuff out prior to arrival.
The appartment was great!
I had a problem with the wardrobe, and it was fixed within 2 days.
The only point is it can take a while to park your car ;)
I recommended this appartment, but if you hire a car it's maybe not the right location because of the parking issues.
We had a wonderful holiday in Sliema, Malta. The apartment is well located, beaches, a shopping centre and a lot of bars and restaurants were only a few minutes away, The apartment has al the supplies you need. We had a warm welcome and our host was friendly and always there to help you with questions.
Great apartment in the center of Sliema. Clean, large, comfortable. I highly recommend! It was a great time on Malta.
Everything was perfect, nice house, nice landlord, and really near of everything.
I will take it again for sure!
What a memorable experience. The apartment was extremely clean and more than adequate for our 15 nights stay. Our host met us at the door- step although we were a little late arriving. We were shown around the apartment and given all the necessary information required. The apartment was well placed for Sliema and near to all the supermarkets etc. We would recommend to all. Many thanks to you all for your help in ensuring we had a perfect holiday.
Very nice apartment and perfect location. We had a nice stay here
The appartement was absolutely lovely! We have actually nothing bad to say about it. The check-in and check-out were easy and the host was friendly.
As we once had problems with the wifi we made a quick phone call, and came home shortly after to find it already replaced.
So we can only give a big thank you and a thumbs up!
Nice and clean

It was a great experience, an easy access to all places of central London. Thank you Kaz for your hospitality
Centrally located in quiet area. Apartment is clean. The other guests were quite loud and walls are thin, but ok value for the area.
Not bad, difficult to find, lot of brightness in the room and the bath doesn't work so propperly, the water is stremely hot, good situation, the hood is quiet.
The room we stayed in was nice and lookes pretty much like the pictures.
We were especially thrilled by having a nice shower in our room.
The place was also very conveniently located.
The downsides were:
The breakfast, almost no milk and the coffee was quite bad.
The floors, it felt like the entire house was wobling when you were walking around and this also meant you heard every movement in the house, both from downstairs and upstairs (we stayed in room 2, one floor up).
The noise, the windows did not drown out much of the noise coming from the backyard, and the neighbours on each side were quite noisy. One side with children playing and the other with adults seeming to eat in the backyard with lots of friends every night. We were also disturbed by the cleaningladies who came by around 10-12 and would chatter in the kitchen long after they were done.
Good room and building.
Nice place to stay in London, very near to the underground station.
the house was quite clean and the other guests were really kind.
Plus: Location of the place is very good. Close to Metro station and bus stops and there are many shops in close proximity. The room is big.
Minus: we could not stay there at our first night as the guest before us did not check out. An alternative place was provided for our first night, but we lost time during our short stay as we had to move the other day around 11 am and could not start our sightseeing as planned.
Our room was in the basement and the door towards the backyard had no lock at all!!! Anyone could have gone into our room while entering from the garden. This is really someting the owner should fix very soon. I also wrote a message several days ago but did not get any answer yet.
The promised hairdryer was not there. The bathroom is very small and we shared the appartment with seven people in total. The last two days there was no toilett paper anymore and no one checked in the meanwhile.
Plus some other guet kept us up every night as they started cooking after midnight. In summary, I would not go there again as all these points made our stay unnecessarily complicated...
I had a very bad surprise when arrived at this property. It seemed the house of horrors, uncleaned, just one towel, with stains. A property in so poor conditions, with scaffoldings and rubbish near the entrance, very different from photographs reported on the listing and the photograph of the building forwarded from the host just few days before my arrival. The flat doesn't reflect the one listed, is a cheat. Even unsafe place, I would have never slept there for free.
For all the reasons above I asked my money back, but I'm still waiting Wimdu's reply from last 26th April (almost one week ago). They did not even help me to find a similar accomodation, as no emergency number to call them was provided in the booking confirmation, so I was left alone in the dark at 00.30 in the night. Forced to call a cab at 00.30 in the night and ask to a friend to host me on her sofa. That sounds ridicolous. Not happy with this uncareness of the site as well, and I have to say, that's the first time they're not prompt, but this doesn't justify their behavior. I can't upload relevant photographs of the status of this property here, but all the material has been provided to Wimdu.
I hope they'll chase this up, as this host can't rent this flat, it is quite inappropriate. I seriously think he books and put reviews himself. It is not possible someone could leave a positive feedback on that.
I'm waiting for the refund Wimdu, so please act in this regard.
Just in case someone of you wants to go there remind Kazz to give you the code for the door! We didn't get one and couldn't get in. Gladly the neighbors at night could help us and called someone to give us the code. No one told us that there is a code needed at all. At last we could get in and the room was quite nice. The shared kitchen was also nice and clean. But the bathroom was a disaster: because of it's shared with other 3 rooms it was quite dirty and the water couldn't get out because the drain was blocked. Also the shower was beeping the whole night because of a technical disorder.
The apartment is in a well connected area of London, close to both train and underground stations within 10 minutes walking distance. When we arrived we had a very difficult time retrieving the keys from the safe-lockbox located outside the door - as it turned out, the owner had given us the incorrect combination. Although it was frustrating, we were able to get into contact with him via telephone right away. When we opened the lock box, our room keys weren't inside even though it was after 3, the designated check in time. We decided to just leave the bags and go to the center. After we returned later that evening, the keys were in the lock box and so we could enter into the room. The room was clean and was as advertised. The bed was what you'd expect from paying this price, and the pillows were flat (I recommend that you bring your own). Our individual room locked just fine, but we had issues locking the front door, most of the time we had to just leave it unlocked because the bolt was stuck. The bathroom was alright, the toilet and shower are in separate rooms, both rooms barely big enough to fit a person and the appliances. However everything functioned properly and was clean. My boyfriend was too tall for the shower, he's about 188cm - but there was always hot water even though there was an entire apartment full of people showering one right after the other. Also ladies, there are no outlets in the bathroom, so any hairstyling had to happen in the bedroom. The kitchen was modest, but included everything we needed on a basic level. We just bought our own breakfast, but the apartment had some cereals, coffee, and tea. There is only one small pot and one small pan in the kitchen. That's all the useful information I can give - it was a good place to stay on our budget, I don't have any major complaints - it was no Ritz Carlton, but you get what you pay for.
We got all the information we needed via mail from our host and it was easy to find the place.
Our room was o.k. for two nights.
The bathroom could have been more cleaner and the toilet seat was broken.
We found some cereals and tea in the kitchen, that was fine, but there was´t any milk to eat it with. The kitchen was clean though.
We would´t book the place again for another stay in London.

Game freezing after starting the disc, right before the main menu.
It happens every other day, I tried deleting my saves and reinstalling the patch and no luck. Any idea on what's going on?
Re: Game freezing after starting the disc, right before the main menu.
I am having the same problem here, except mine hasn't played for 2 days no matter what I do, I am stuck on the loading screen before the title with the "The Last of Us" in the bottom right corner... can Naughty Dog please comment? i am unsure if this is my console, possibly a miniscule scratch I cant see on my disc, or if they know it is a software error that they are working to fix.
The game I am using is a rental, if it is due to scratch or console, I will return it, if it is due to software I will return it and buy a copy and wait for a patch, but I need an answer first!
Re: Game freezing after starting the disc, right before the main menu.[ Edited ]
The Same has happened to me. Can't load to the Main Menu. I wish Naughty Dog could respond to this as well. My game has been running fine for over a week now until yesterday morning. I am not pleased with this.
The only thing you can do is delete the latest save game...
The only thing you can do is delete the latest save game (it should be the one with the current date time). This is caused by corrupting game saves.
I always save 2 or 3 slots when playing single player to avoid this issue. Met several times before in Uncharted 3.
Or I can help you better with my Mega Bomb kickback .
Re: The only thing you can do is delete the latest save game...
Hi, I'm writing this post first to ask for your support. I bought the game last week (the disk) and started playing it till 25%. There I aarive to the Bill part when you gotta escape the runners and clickers and enter in a Warehouse with Ellie. the cutscene that follows just didn't appear, intead you got a black screen. I try pusshing Start, a menu appear and I try turning the subtitles off. It worked. But that was after force shutting my ps3 to load the game in the previous checkpoint. Then the game continue without any problem till the Hotel Lobby in Pittsburg. I got to the part when Joel puts a ladder on a ledge and gets kick to the ground by a guy and try to drown him. This event triggers a cutscene. This cutscene doesn't start. You got the blackscreen again. Push start and the pause menu Subs on/off , resume, skip movie. I try the subt on/off thing and didn't work this time. Just have to force shut my PS3 and reloading the game. After 7 tries (of trying every single variant) I select Skip Movie and wait for 10 minutes. The thing actually worked and I jump into the game again. I played a little bit more, adn there comes another cutscene when you "clean" the building of humans and call Ellie. Again the screen turns black, I got the same situation and try the same things. this time neither of them worked. As result of this crap, I can finish the game.
Can you please help me? I love the game, but this bugs/glitches ruin all the experience.

SANTA CRUZ -- The UC Santa Cruz Health center became the site of a "sick picket" Wednesday, as protesters wearing masks over their mouths hobbled on crutches back and forth across the road, receiving honks of support from cars and buses.
The protesters demanded changes to the UC Student Health Insurance Plan, often called UC SHIP, which has recently been criticized for limiting medical benefits enrolled students can receive.
Protesters also held signs reading "Fee hikes make me sick," a response to the proposed increase in student premiums up to 25 percent to compensate for a $57 million deficit, announced in January.
"We are pretty horrified by what's happening," said Josh Brahinsky, a graduate student and activist with UAW Local 2865, the UC student-workers union that helped organize the event.
Micha Rahder, a UCSC anthropology graduate student, shared her personal experience with the protesters. Rahder requires monthly medical treatments for a rare illness that attacks the nervous system. When she reached the plan's $400,000 lifetime cap in January, she was left incapacitated and without treatment while she sought other coverage.
Under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, most insurance providers are not allowed to place limits on any policy issued or renewed on or after Sept. 23, 2010. But because the university plan is considered "self-funded," it is not subject to this law.
Rahder was forced to pay for an interim treatment, and now faces a $28,000 medical bill. "I'm worried, and I'm tired, and I'm so angry," she told the crowd of about 100 people. Rahder plans to leave Santa Cruz after this quarter to find affordable care in Canada, where she holds citizenship.
"UC does take it very seriously," UC spokeswoman Brooke Converse said of the issue. "We know that the students have been concerned, and we are looking into the possibility of removing the caps or making other changes that would maybe raise the caps."
However, Converse noted such changes likely will result in increased premiums for students.
Tash Nguyen, an undergraduate student on a medical leave of absence, came to campus to support the demonstration. Nguyen, who was forced to seek outside coverage after being diagnosed with cancer in 2011, worries that increasing fees might force healthy students to drop the UC plan too, leaving less money for those facing serious illness or injury.
After the rally, Brahinsky urged the protesters to "be sick for a bit," and the crowd trudged down the middle of the road toward the Bay Tree Bookstore. About four UCSC buses changed their routes to avoid the area, according to university staff.
The event is one in a string of protests on UC campuses, including another event organized by UAW Local 2865 at Berkeley in October and a demonstration at UC Irvine on Tuesday.
Converse said that an advisory committee, which includes UC students, will make a recommendation to a steering committee, which will then report to the UC chancellors. They hope to make a decision on both the benefit caps and the fee increase by June 1.

If timing chain breaks, would it.....
.....kill the engine instantly at 70 mph, or would it kick off the cruise, start rapidly down shifting to slow the car down without using brakes, then once at a safe enough speed to do so, shut the car off? Also I've never heard any rattling from the engine. I never let oil get low.
Re: If timing chain breaks, would it.....
I can't see any possible scenario that if a timing chain did break while running that the engine would be salvageable. What you're describing would basically require and act of God.
It's at a shop now but no one to look at it until later today. To me it seemed exactly what happens when on star shuts down a stolen vehicle. I'm just hoping for the best but preparing for the worst so I'm just trying to get your input. I'd think if it broke at 70, and junked the engine, the engine woulda been been shut off immediately instead of actually continuing to run smooth other than me dimly not having control of the car. It just felt like someone remotely took charge of it. Weirdest damn thing. It cranked just fine too once stopped. Just wouldn't start.

Re: If timing chain breaks, would it.....
There's something else at work here for sure. I really can't see the timing chain breaking being the cause. If it cranked well afterwards and nothing sounded out of the ordinary, it's not a broken chain. I'll be interested in hearing what this turns out to be. I can see the correlation you're making with the OnStar gradual vehicle slow-down, but it wasn't available for a few years after yours was made so that won't be it either.

I've searched high n low on here and google but can't find anything remotely like this.
I know a fair share about working on cars but this really leaves me dumbfounded.
Re: If timing chain breaks, would it.....
I don't know enough about the 3.6L and its controls to know for sure what this might be. Codes will likely offer a lot of insight. This could be a fuel problem, spark/ignition problem or something else.
Yea fuel related is only thing I can think of too. Only issue I've had with this car in the 14 months I've had it was a simple ignition coil that I replaced. Other than that its run like a dream. I've put nearly 20k miles on it. The CEL did come on AFTER it died. Lol. Well once I tried restarting it, the light came on solid.
All I can say is, it's been a good 7 years since I've had to rely on a mechanic. Me and or my friends can always figure out the issue. But I could only do so much on the side of the road with my portable craftsman tool set lol. I was 60 miles from home, and after the second sheriff stopped, he made me get a wrecker lol. So I just had it towed straight to my wife's families garage. They seem to do a good job on their cars.

Definitely let us know what it ends up being. I'm guessing something simple like your fuel pump went out or a sensor or a theft deterrent relay activated for some reason.
The down shifting was probably just the fact that the car was slowing down. If the timing chain broke at that speed it would probably bend the hell out of the valves and should not have sounded very good.

Hmm. Just thought of something. A couple weeks ago I was having an issue with my hood latch theft deterrent. The alarm kept going off one night and it kept saying on the information display that a theft was attempted thru my hood and to service the theft system. It never acted up again so I never replaced the latch. Could there POSSIBLY be some sort of affiliation between the two?? Merely a thought as of right now...

I don't think they would kill the engine if the hood latch switch was opening or closing. That would be too much of a safety issue. I think they just prevent starting.
I was just totally speculating about a theft deterrent thing. I know many cars will not let the fuel pump run if the alarm is activated. Not even sure if our cars do that. My thought was maybe a relay that does that got inadvertently activated/deactivated. There's probably a regular fuel pump relay also.
Let's hope for something simple that just seemed catastrophic.

Also, you can pop the hood with the car idling and it doesn't shut off. So if it is related to the alarm, it must be something besides the latch.

Hopefully it isn't the chains..
But if the chains, or one snapped, I don't think it would stop the engine from turning. The force from the vehicle back through the trans would still rotate the engine, but with no valves opening and closing you would have no power. I had a motor cycle where the timing chain jumped a tooth. It basically died instantly, rammed several valves into the pistons and broke several tappets. The engine would crank freely though, just wouldn't fire. Amazingly enough no valves bent, it was a robust engine, and I was able to get it running again. I believe it was the way the valve train was designed. I'm not sure how the 3.6 is, if the cam lobes push directly on the valve or not. If my bike was designed where the cams pushed directly on the valves I'm guessing the outcome wouldn't have been so positive.

Kensington Market, once dubbed "The Jewish Market," was founded in the early 1900s by Eastern European Jewish immigrants. The tight knot of downtown streets was once cramped with bakers, tailors, and furriers; the neighborhood has graduated from the city's premier bohemian enclave. Queen Street West has enjoyed a more recent renaissance, graduating from sad-sack, booze can-littered drag to Toronto's hippest area.
Begin at Augusta and College Street, walking south down (1) Augusta, the city's ultimate bohemian-chic address, lined with organic bakeries (try the shortbread cookies at Alchemy), Mexican bodegas (El Trompo), tapas restaurants (Torito), and pupusa-slinging Latin American grocery stores. The peckish should fortify with an empanada at Chilean stalwart lunch spot (2) Jumbo Empanadas (245 Augusta Avenue), where the titular homemade pillows are toothsome, piping hot, and perfectly oven-gilded. Continue southward for a killer latte (potent and smooth) at iconic family-owned (3) Casa Acoreana (235 Augusta Avenue), more caffeine shack than café. Turn left at Oxford Street to enjoy the colorful outdoor carnival of fruit-and-vegetable stands and exotic cheese shops, then take a right at Kensington Avenue, past rows of vintage clothing shops. (4) Courage My Love (14 Kensington Avenue) is the time-honored Kensington classic.
Double back toward Baldwin, then hang a right toward Spadina Avenue, and walk south toward Dundas Street, where you'll find yourself in the bowels of (5) Chinatown. Toronto claims five different Chinatowns. This downtown version is the largest; a chaos of Chinese restaurants, grocery stores, exotic fruit stands (find anything from dragonfruit and kumquats to mangosteens), noodle and bubble tea bars, and useless trinket and souvenir shops cramp broad sidewalks—always crowded with pedestrians in a terrific hurry.
Hang a right on Queen Street, and walk toward Bathurst Street, where so-called (6) Queen West West officially begins. Continue wandering westward past Palmerston Street: This forever-flourishing drag has graduated from the grimy and unsavory to the city's hippest strip: find artful one-off clothing boutiques (Kami Kaze, Girl Friday, Pho Pa), cafés, tea rooms (Red Tea Box), home décor emporia, and fine Japanese stationers (The Paper Place). Stay the course until (7) Trinity Bellwoods Park (790 Queen Street W); grab an espresso and a croissant at French patisserie Clafouti and duck in for a browse at booklovers' bookshop Type. Enjoy your caloric spoils in the park—one of the loveliest and most bustling urban green pieces in town. Continue westward past Shaw Street, and pop into (8) The Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA) (952 Queen Street W; www.mocca.ca), then into (9) The Steven Bulger Gallery (www.bulgergallery.com) down the way at 1026 Queen Street W. Owner Stephen Bulger is one of the only dealers in the world to represent leading photographer André Kertész. Continue past a slew of independent art galleries and witness the slow gentrification of a once ramshackle neighborhood. Push forth until your last stop, a cocktail at (10) The Drake Hotel (1150 Queen Street W, www.thedrakehotel.ca), at Beaconsfield Avenue.

The UK food industry?
Hello everyone
I have some questions about the UK food market that i hope you can answer or help me answer!
Is the UK food market controlled by a few major corporations just like in the US?
How has the UK's food industry evolved?
I would appreciate anyone answering or even just giving me links that answer these.

Welcome to the forums, saq16
Sorry, I can't help. Someone who can may be along directly.
I'm curious. Is this for an education assignment (school/ college/ uni)?

Re: The UK food industry?
Welcome to the forum saq16
I have little idea about who controls the UK food industry as such saq16.
Like most places there are probably just a few major companies that control a lot of smaller companies .
What I do know is that the UK now has a very diverse food culture .
There are many different nations that live in our cities each with their different food cultures and these are all drawn together to provide what we now eat .
This has happened in many countries .
In a city like London you can but almost any type foodstuff somewhere within the city . There are many different types if shops and restaurants and the street food scene is now starting to take off.
Supermarkets in the UK , have a variety if foods , fresh meats and fresh fruits and vegetables as well as the premade foods like foods in cans and jars , dried foods and ingredients plus ready meals . So pretty much the same as in America and many other countries.
What we are seeing in recent years is the arrival of small supermarkets on the high street , smaller shops that are run by a larger supermarket chain they carry a good but more limited stock of goods.
I live in a city and I have 4 Tesco's Express stores within easy walking distance from where I live , I also have a Sainsbury's version of a smaller supermarket in close walking distance. So I think this high street explosion of smaller stores is one if the ways the larger supermarket chains I'd starting to dominate the food markets more.
I go into these stores very little as a great deal of my food shopping is done on line .
The supermarket's do online delivery service .
There is at least one company ( ocado ) that sell supermarket shopping without any high street stores and sell only via an online delivery buisness . I use one of these companies for my supermarket shopping .
I never buy meat from them though as I like to see what I am buying for my family. I buy these from a local butchers.
Fresh fruit and vegetables I get delivered weekly via an organic vegetable box scheme . The box contents vary each week and are based around what is in season .
Organic vegetable box delivery schemes , if you want to look one up Riverford might be a good one to look at . It's not the one I use anymore for various reasons but its a larger one and will give you a good idea how
These schemes work .
The vegbox delivery scheme that I am trying out at the moment sells many different deli , store cupboard , meat , fish , cheese , dairy products etc and quite a big organisation .
Eggs I mostly buy from a farm shop or a farmers market as they are always very fresh .
Farmers markets are in many towns and cities but by no means are they everywhere in the UK , they sell produce direct from farmers if small producers . These are good but have a reputation of being fairly pricy in comparison to the supermarkets ... But things often taste better they are fresh , seasonal and havnt traveled so far.
These markets might be held only once a month , once a week , or more depending on where in the uk you live .
Hope this helps .

You'd be wanting to look into what companies make up the market and how many of those are owned by the same group. I don't think anyone here has that kind of knowledge. Try a library at a large educational, ideally tertiary, institution.

Report: Water park "likely" violates Disabilities Act
Related Story
DENHAM SPRINGS - A preliminary report by the state fire marshal's office shows that the Cajun Lagoon Water Park is "likely" in violation of the American Disabilities Act, and will be shut down until those issues are resolved.
The Denham Springs water park has been under scrutiny since the drowning of a 14-year-old boy six weeks ago. The owners confirmed to News 2 they were closed until next season, and that they were reviewing their facilities in the meantime.
During the accident investigation the state fire marshal's office learned that the water park's owners failed to obtain required approvals for outbuildings like rest room facilities, the kitchen area, and open air pavilions.
Assistant Fire Marshal Brant Thompson tells News 2 that the water park is not allowed to occupy any of those areas until its facilities are fully reviewed, effectively shutting the park down. Cajun Lagoon's website indicates that this past weekend was the last weekend the park would be open for this season.
It could take the fire marshal's office up to 10 days to review Cajun Lagoons facilities to see if the park has adequate needs for those with disabilities.
A Livingston Parish Sheriff's office investigation showed no criminal wrongdoing on the part of the water park's owners.

Boston was a world-music stronghold even before the "world music" genre existed. So there's a rich offering of sounds from Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, India, and other locales coming this fall.
The most eagerly awaited return may be that of VIEUX FARKA TOURÉ. He's continuing the legacy of his father, Malian music idol Ali Farka Touré, whose solo recordings and breakthrough work with American guitarist Ry Cooder put the art of his impoverished, landlocked African nation's griots on the charts. Ali died in March 2006; Vieux made his recording debut in 2007 with an album bearing his name on the World Village USA label and a sequel, the remix disc UFOs over Bamako, that introduced him to the international dance circuit.
Like his father, Touré also has roots in blues and R&B, as we saw when he came to the Museum of Fine Arts August 20 as part of the "Still Black, Still Proud: An African Tribute to James Brown" project, whose members included Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis from Brown's JB's band, and Senegal's Cheikh Lô. But the guitarist, singer, and percussionist will deliver a more traditional performance at the Somerville Theatre September 27 at 8 pm: a set of Malian and Saharan tunes, backed by his quintet.
Many of this season's world-music highlights will be on concert stages rather than in clubs. The Somerville, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Berklee Performance Center, and Harvard's Sanders Theatre will all host outstanding artists. At the Somerville, the fall offerings begin on September 19 with KAL, a seven-piece group from Belgrade who modernize the romance of Gypsy music from Bosnia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Serbia. Then on October 3, it's LO COR DE LA PLANA, an a cappella six-piece from Marseilles who sing in the Occitan language of Southern France, combining Mediterranean roots with African influences and plainchant.
The theater resonates with African music again on November 1, when the popular TOUMANI DIABATÉ returns. This time it's a rare solo performance for the world's leading kora player. And if you can't get enough Tuvan throat music, HUUN-HUUR-TU on November 22 are your ticket. Sure, Siberia has the gulag, but it also has one of the most resonant and hypnotic vocal styles in the world.
Wondering where the term "whirling dervish" comes from? The appearance of AL-KINDÎ & THE WHIRLING DERVISHES OF DAMASCUS at Sanders Theatre on September 20 will provide the answer. A mix of transcendental music and ritual, the Dervishes featuring vocalist Sheikh Hamza Shakkûr will demonstrate the Sufi repertoire from the Great Mosque of Omeyyad. LURA and her sextet bring their distinctive mix of Cape Verdean folk laced with a taste of international pop to the Berklee Performance Center on October 12. And James Devine, at an astonishing 38 taps per second the planet's fastest tapper, is featured in "CELTIC TAP," which will run October 17-19 at the Institute of Contemporary Art's Barbara Lee Family Foundation Theater. (Tickets for all these World Music events at 617.876.4275 or www.worldmusic.org.)

Following the alert by Australian amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley, professional astronomers have been able to confirm the impact nature of the new dark spot appeared on July 19th on the surface on Jupiter.
See our previous post for more information:
The clue arrived from near-infrared image of the upper atmosphere above the impact site:
"An impact would make a splash like a stone thrown into a pool, scattering material in the atmosphere upwards. This material would then reflect sunlight, appearing as a bright spot at near-infrared wavelengths"
"Our first image showed a really bright object right where that black scar was, and immediately we knew this was an impact," astronomer Glenn Orton says. "There's no natural phenomenon that creates a black spot and bright particles like that."
Image captured on July 20, 2009, by NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility in Mauna Kea:

Cloud Brightens Integrator Outlook
Cloud-based, or hosted, services are among several newer technologies leading security integrators out of the recession. SSI's seventh annual Systems Integration Study shows renewed optimism amid rising returns paced by leading-edge offerings such as managed access control and high definition video. However, the data also details some lingering stagnation.
By Scott Goldfine · April 3, 2011
Almost 50 percent of security systems integrators report increased revenues from 2010 operations, compared to 29 percent a year prior. Those seeing a significant decline in revenue tumbled from 32 percent to 16.9 percent, and 35 percent of all firms posted higher gross margins. No wonder many of them believe the recession is surely, if slowly, subsiding — and why more than 71 percent of integrators have an optimistic or outstanding business outlook for 2011.
Those were just some of the telltale results of SSI's seventh annual Systems Integration Study. The latest survey — initiated in February by Bobit Business Media's Research Department with support from ISC organizers Reed Exhibitions and PSA Security Network — was distributed to thousands of systems integrators nationwide. Of the 363 completed surveys submitted, 213 met the systems integrator criteria as installing primarily integrated video surveillance and/or access control systems, and the majority of accounts not being monitored burglary/fire alarm systems.
The research further shows that while the dark economic clouds are beginning to clear, the financial forecast remains somewhat foggy. This is evidenced by the majority of integrators reporting flat overall gross margins, with drops in the prices charged for both access control and video surveillance systems. Plus, both managerial and frontline salaries for the most part plummeted.
However, the impact of newer and cloud-based technologies along with their promise of future growth is also prominent. Almost 40 percent of integrators are offering managed access control and averaging 15-percent growth in those services. But video continues to be the industry's shining beacon. Highlights include 30-percent growth in IP camera sales; a 37-percent gain in megapixel devices; and 38 percent of projects now feature VMS- and/or PSIM-based solutions.

Nov. 2, 2012
Former Tennessee basketball player Cameron Tatum (2008-12) was selected in the third round of the NBA Development League Draft Friday night. Tatum, who completed his collegiate eligibility past spring and played for the Memphis Grizzlies' NBA Summer League team, was the 38th overall selection in Friday's draft.
The Iowa Energy drafted Tatum and traded his rights to the Bakersfield (Calif.) Jam shortly thereafter.
"It feels great," Tatum said following the draft. "It's good to know that God has a plan, one way or the other.
"(Tennessee head coach Cuonzo Martin's) style of play is actually what impressed the (Bakersfield) coaches. I talked to them tonight, and they said they liked the way I defend point guards and the screen-and-roll."
A 6-7, 195-pound small forward from Lithonia, Ga., Tatum finished his Tennessee career ranked second on the school's all-time games played list (138), 10th on the list for 3-pointers made (155) and 41st on UT's career scoring list (1,083 points). He is one of only eight Vols ever to log at least 1,000 points, 400 rebounds and 200 assists in a career.
As a senior last season, he ranked fifth on the team in scoring (8.1 ppg) and was second in assists (2.6 apg) and minutes played (29.1 mpg). He was the team's top-rebounding guard with 4.1 rpg, and his 13 charges drawn ranked second on the team.
He graduated in December 2011 with a degree in Africana Studies.
"First and foremost, I'm very proud of Cam," Martin said. "He's got his college degree, and he's worked tremendously hard to earn this opportunity to get paid to play the game of basketball. He's put himself in position to be successful in life, and that is what we Tennessee basketball to be all about."
The Bakersfield Jam franchise is the NBA D-League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors.
Interestingly, the Iowa Energy - the team that initially drafted Tatum - is an affiliate of the Washington Wizards. Former Vol All-American Ernie Grunfeld (1974-77) is entering his 10th season as the Wizards' general manager.
The NBA Development League, founded in 2001, is the NBA's official "minor league." Featuring 16 teams with direct affiliations to NBA franchises, the NBA D-League is a proven developer of talent. A total of 87 current NBA players boast NBA D-League experience, and the league continues to develop coaches, referees and front-office staff for the NBA and its teams. Former Tennessee All-American Allan Houston (1990-93) serves in dual roles as general manager of the NBA D-League's Erie BayHawks and assistant general manager of the NBA's New York Knicks.

Over the past 20 weeks I've attempted to keep this cricket column as irrelevant as possible. My guiding mantra - rhythm, swing, Michael Laws - in my opinion, has served me well. I've made some powerful friends along the way. I've confused many people, too.
Sometimes my columns have walked the fine line between hard hitting fact and defamation. I've had two cease and desist letters from lawyers representing semi-prominent former national sporting treasures insulted by my ramblings. I make no apologies for my ignorance. I represent the masses. The only difference between me and a talkback caller is my lack of anonymity and the fact I was the holder of the title NZ's Sexiest Man, briefly, in 2002.
Last week's 45 represented a new low for our summer game in the eyes of the media but I took some positives out of the game. First, Dean Brownlie's three-chance century proved it is possible to score runs against South Africa's formidable attack. Even more impressive was a return to the headband from Chris Martin.
I've long been a supporter of The Old Marto and his arm pumping approach to the bowling crease. He seems like a lovely person, Chris Martin. Kind and friendly - almost uncricket-like.
I once chanted his name like a moronic provincial rugby supporter for four hours while he ran through the South Africans at Eden Park a few years ago. He was on fire that day. The crowd of 1320 was in a mild frenzy. His batting record doesn't make for great reading but I've always admired the way he holds his ground against the fastest bowling in the world. His scoring option is limited to a crease-bound prod yet I've never seen him hit on the body or look intimidated.
I'm told headbands provide a useful alternative to hair as an agent of sweat absorption. I recall Lillee rocking one in 1982 at Eden Park. One of the Sri Lankan ayakes (either Champaka Ramanayake or Rumesh Ratnayake - I can't remember) slung his way through the crease in the early 90s with a headband, too.
For a while our greatest batsman Martin Crowe made wearing one under your helmet fashionable but his was more in the style of Daniel San in Karate Kid. Shane Thomson wore a standard white headband under his helmet during the same period but didn't quite pull it off.
Anyway, we were talking about Chris Martin and what a great servant he's been to New Zealand cricket.
Chris Martin is the not so latest in a long line of great number 11s that we have produced. My first exposure to a true number 11 was through Ewen Chatfield. Chatfield's batting became legendary, particularly during the twilight of his career when his arrival at the tail end of a New Zealand innings was a moment to look forward to. Somehow, through his courage and lack of talent, he came to embody the national spirit of giving something a go even when you suck. Ironically he batted for a time with a Gray Nicholls four scoop - the most coveted bat at Parnell Cricket Club in the early 80s among juniors.
Cricket is unique in the way it provides glaring mismatches during the course of a game. I can't think of another sport as cruel as the gentleman's game. It's not really fair to ask Chris Martin to face Dale Steyn - to me it's the cricketing version of pulling the wings off a fly. The worst bowler in the team isn't forced to bowl against the best batsman. In netball, we don't get to laugh while the centre shoots for a quarter. Do pitchers bat in baseball? Who knows? Who cares.
