text: hey all just joined the forum to find help with my blazer. Ok so my 4x4 has stopped working. last year i replaced the front differential and it worked all winter but when i tried it this year, nothing. when i push the 4x4 button (both high and low) i can hear the motor and feel the transfer case kick in but the front tires do not lock in. I read in another post that if you pull the wire that is under the battery tray and it locks in then it is the vacuum system. I took a pic of this. I pulled the wire and locked it in with vice grips but the 4x4 still did not engage. I have also taken pictures of the vacuum lines I have found. the one off the back of the engine goes to the tee. it splits and one runs to the transfer case and the other goes no where and is blocked off at the end. there is also another vacuum line that is seemingly tied up to the transmission fluid tube that also goes nowhere and is blocked off. if anyone can help it would be appreciated. Or is anyone knows of a good mechanic in the cleveland area pass that on to me.

"'Down and Out' but in the 'Works': Homeless Soldiers and Homeless Youth in German Literature and Film" (European Studies Group Fall Lecture Series 2011)
Germany was defeated in two world wars, both of which resulted in the loss of sizeable territory and the dislocation of many people. It suffered through the Great Depression, it was forced to divide into two separate and competing states, and finally it underwent national reunification causing economic and social maladjustments for many. One of the results of the political and social upheaval of the twentieth century was widespread homelessness in Germany. This condition also establishes itself as an important theme and literary and cinematic device in various artistic pieces. Kumpf's talk will focus on the fabrication and aesthetics of homelessness as it surfaces in children and youth literature and in works dealing with the great wars.

Former Rolta and Intergraph executive will be teaching remote sensing using mostly Esri technology at Universitat Jaume I (UJI), Castellón in Spain. His profile on LinkedIn does not specifically mention teaching experience.
via @micheal_d_gould
The Delaware Department of Education awarded a $57,623 grant to the Cape Henlopen School District this November that will kickstart a science, technology, engineering, arts and math program for 60 fifth-graders.
Among the tech they will use in this STEAM program is GIS. A local will teach the teachers.
Nicole Minni, an associate policy scientist and graphics specialist at the University of Delaware, as well as a mother of five Cape students, will direct teachers on how to use geographic information systems. The GIS can express different types of data, from demographics to historical data, in mapping format.
The first Summer Institute on Digital Mapping and Art History, sponsored by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, will take place at Middlebury College August 3-15. The two-week program is now accepting applications for fellowships.
Yep, this is super cool. And you know why? It's not for GIS people!
The program is intended for all art historians of any rank (including graduate students, curators, or independent scholars) with a scholarly problem related to spatial evidence or questions.
We need to stop talking to ourselves and speak to those in other fields!

Lady Gaga's 'ARTPOP' vs. Katy Perry's 'Prism': Which Album Are You Most Anticipating? – Readers Poll
When it comes to blending performance art and music, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are two artists who are constantly evolving. Whether it's a meat dress or a candy bustier, these singers always surprise. In the coming months, both superstars will drop new albums ('ARTPOP' and 'Prism' respectively), but whose is most anticipated?
Lady Gaga has been showing lots of skin in her promo photos for 'ARTPOP,' which arrives on Nov. 11. The only taste we've gotten from the album is the leaked single 'Burqa,' which is a cinematic murder narrative. However, Mother Monster also revealed some of the lyrics to 'Applause,' so we can't wait to listen to the full project!
Katy Perry, on the other hand, has released a serious of teasers for her new single, 'Roar,' that make it clear that she's shedding her 'Teenage Dream' image. The singer even burns her iconic blue wig! When 'Roar' drops on Aug. 12, we'll definitely get more insight into what to expect before 'Prism' is released on Oct. 22, but we can confidently say it will be different from anything Katy's done before.
Which album are you most anticipating? Sound off in the poll, which closes on Oct. 21 at 11:59PM, the day before Katy's album drops!

London's Commercial Real Estate Freeze
This was the year London's skyline was supposed to be transformed by the construction of yet more signature skyscrapers. But with funding increasingly hard to come by and fears that demand for office space will continue to drop, many such projects have now been delayed or shelved. Commercial property values fell by 3.5% in January, on top of a 27% decline in 2008, according to global property advisers CB Richard Ellis (CBG). "The British commercial property market has been the first and fastest to react to the financial crisis," says Peter Damesick, CB Richard Ellis' head of research in Britain.
Witness the number of high-profile projects that have fallen victim to the downturn. Plans for a tower called St. Alphage's in London's financial district—known as the City of London—were canceled after the intended tenant, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), withdrew. And Dutch bank ING (ING) pulled the plug on Frank Gehry's first British project, a $433 million waterfront development in Brighton. "There's been a sharp downturn in new development activity over the last 12 months," Damesick says. "A lot of projects that were in the pipeline are being reassessed."
Take British Land's skyscraper in the City. The 47-story-tall, Richard Rodgers-designed Leadenhall Building, popularly dubbed the Cheesegrater due to its resemblance to a certain kitchen accessory, was supposed to be completed in 2011. Instead, British Land (BLND.L) put the project on hold in August. At the time, then-CEO Stephen Hester—who now heads another troubled company, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS)—conceded the economic environment had changed. "Today you would never start such a big project without a tenant already lined up," he said. "The economics are not attractive enough."
"Exceptional Cyclical Downturn"
Britain's property firms face many of the same problems as those of its beleaguered banks: a dearth of credit, rapidly declining asset values, massive writedowns, and mounting job losses. In February alone, the country's three biggest property companies, British Land, Hammerson (HMSO.L), and Land Securities (LAND.L) tapped investors for a total of $2.9 billion in cash in a series of rights issues to repair badly damaged balance sheets. "This is what I would call an exceptional cyclical downturn," Land Securities CEO Francis Salway said in a conference call on Feb. 19 to announce the company's $1.1 billion rights issue.
Finding tenants for commercial property in London is proving tough. London's West End still has the world's most expensive office space, at around $248 a square foot, compared with $98 per square foot in midtown Manhattan, according to CB Richard Ellis. Little wonder that the amount of vacant office space in central London has risen by 36.5% in the past 12 months as tenants shed staff or relocate, says global real estate firm Cushman Wakefield.
Hoping to attract occupiers, some landlords are even offering two years rent-free on leases of 10 years or more, the firm says.
The big property firms aren't the only ones suffering. Related industries from construction to engineering and architecture are feeling the pinch. Recent data from Britain's Office for National Statistics revealed an 8% decline in construction investment. And the Construction Products Assn. predicts the British construction sector will fall a further 9% in 2009, the biggest drop in three decades.
Tumbling Profits
Uxbridge-based Galliford Try (GFRD.L), one of Britain's biggest construction firms and homebuilders, has had to axe 400 staff and move to a four-day week to cope with the slowdown. On Feb. 19 the company conceded it tumbled from a $48.4 million profit to a $54 million pretax loss for the six months ended Dec. 31, 2008, compared with the same period last year. CEO Greg Fitzgerald says current conditions in the homebuilding market are "the worst in generations."
British architects would certainly agree. With the collapse in the commercial, residential, and retail property markets, architectural firms are suffering, and the slowdown is fast translating into layoffs. New data from the Office for National Statistics reveal architects are joining the ranks of the unemployed at a faster rate than any other occupation in Britain. Some 870 architects signed on to unemployment benefits in the last quarter of 2008, compared with just 135 in the same period the year before, an increase of 544%.
Even some of the profession's biggest names have had to lay off staff. On Feb. 13, Norman Foster's Foster & Partners announced plans to let go around a quarter of its 1,300-strong workforce and close two of its 17 offices around the globe. Jo Wright, managing partner at Bath- and London-based design firm FCB Studios, which won last year's prestigious Stirling Prize, says her firm had to reduce its staff by 10%, to 135, in November. "As recently as August, I was using a headhunter, but the market turned so quickly," she says. "All of our core work sectors are suffering."
Few expect conditions to improve significantly until 2012. True, some projects such as Renzo Piano's "Shard"—set to be Britain's tallest building—are still going ahead. And for potential buyers and tenants, there's one bright spot in the real estate crunch: "If you combine the fall in asset prices with the decline in the value of sterling, some properties are as much as 55% cheaper than they were just 18 months ago," says Richard Barkham, group research director at Grosvenor Group, an international property firm privately owned by the Duke of Westminster. The only problem is finding investors with the cash on hand to take advantage.

Researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, TeliaSonera and Ericsson have published a unique study which maps out the climate impact of the Swedish Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. Despite a rapid growth in the use of computers and mobile phones in Sweden, emissions per user are low.
The study is the result of research collaboration between TeliaSonera, Ericsson and KTH Centre for Sustainable Communications (CESC). It is the most comprehensive study of this kind to date, and maps out in detail the carbon footprint of the entire Swedish ICT sector from an energy consumption perspective.
The Swedish ICT sector has grown significantly in the last ten years and now represents 1.2 percent of Sweden's total carbon footprint according to the researchers' calculations. This is equal to 160 kg carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) per person and year, or the emissions from a car ride of approximately 700 kilometers.
Included in the scope of the calculations is ICT infrastructure (servers, data centers, cables, etc.) and the manufacturing and use of communications equipment such as computers, mobile phones, tablets and modems.
"The challenge lies in limiting the climate impact of the ICT sector so that it does not keep increasing. One implication of the study is that in theory, the energy consumption in the network can be reduced by 75 percent immediately if the most modern and energy efficient equipment on the market was used," says Dag Lundén, TeliaSonera.
"Another important aspect is in increasing how long equipment, like smart phones and laptops are used. The manufacturing of these products accounts for a large share of the ICT sector's greenhouse gas emissions," says Åsa Moberg, KTH.
70 percent of Sweden's ICT related CO2e emissions originate from the manufacturing and use of personal equipment such as computers, mobile phones and tablets. Energy saving features in these products as well as in the network equipment (modems, routers and servers) would enable major savings during periods when the traffic volume in the network is low.
Data centers account for the majority of the remaining 30 percent of ICT related emissions. There are still big opportunities to reduce the energy consumption, especially in cooling solutions. Sweden, with its cold climate, is thus an ideal location for large data centers.
"The greatest carbon enablement potential for the ICT industry lies in limiting the climate impact of travel, transportation, buildings and other sectors. An example is TeliaSonera's Swedish operations where emissions from travel and offices have decreased more than 50 percent through utilizing its own technology such as tele- and videoconferencing to meet and work remotely," says Jens Malmodin, Ericsson.
The results of the study are presented in a scientific article published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology.

It had to happen. As surely as the irresistible force had to meet the immovable object, as surely as Frankenstein had to meet the Wolfman [sic], Roger Norrington and his London Classical Players had to confront Richard Wagner, the fountainhead of everything against which Mr. Norrington, and all of Early Music, have been in constant zealous revolt. The resulting CD (EMI Classics 5 55479 2), which contains the Rienzi Overture, the Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin, the Prelude and "Liebestod" from Tristan und Isolde, the Meistersinger Prelude, the Siegfried Idyll and the Parsifal Prelude, is one of the most fascinating recordings of the year just past, and one of the most important.

Chaos, as Wagner himself sometimes suggested, is likely to be the rule, rather than the exception, in our world (and in productions of Der Ring des Nibelungen that try to reflect or comment on that world) until another cruel divine order emerges to force things back into unity. Rings devoted to the evils and collapse of Eastern European communism are surely on the drafting boards already, now that Rings devoted to the evils and collapse of capitalism and fascism are becoming routine. Be grateful if you have the opportunity to see a contemporary Ring that is as compelling to look at as it is to listen to; thoughtfully (not narrowly or spitefully) of our time; on the whole generous to Wagner, rather than mean-minded and reductive; one that makes provocative sense, and still seems to grow out of the music, which is (fortunately) larger than all of these postmodern Konzepts put together.Read the full text here.

The DoJ lawsuit plays, it seems to me, right into the hands of Amazon. Yes, we'll have cheaper books, but at what cost? Is it worth paying a little bit less for a title if it threatens the future existence of the publishers who are bringing us the books? [...] [I]t scares me, it really does.Say what? "Threatens the future existence of the publishers who are bringing us the books"(!)? What cave have these recent doomsday whiners been living in for the past decade or so? Haven't they long ago heard that traditional book publishers are today fast becoming almost wholly irrelevant as the source of new books; economic and cultural dinosaurs all whose demise was sealed the day Amazon introduced the Kindle, and good riddance to them? For the most part, traditional publishers are today coasting on the inertia generated by their centuries of existence. Within a generation they'll largely be history for ordinary new book publishing, fiction and nonfiction. In the past, traditional book publishers served a noble and necessary purpose. Today they're entirely unnecessary and rather than be supported should be left to expire in peace and with dignity, saved harmless from the always demeaning and ultimately futile attempts to sustain a faltering life by artificial means. Let us instead say, Atque in perpetuum, Traditional Book Publishers, ave atque vale.
Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word "publishing" means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That's not a job anymore. That's a button. There's a button that says "publish," and when you press it, it's done. In ye olden times of 1997, it was difficult and expensive to make things public, and it was easy and cheap to keep things private. Privacy was the default setting. We had a class of people called publishers because it took special professional skill to make words and images visible to the public. Now it doesn't take professional skills. It doesn't take any skills. It takes a WordPress install. The question isn't what happens to publishing — the entire category has been evacuated. The question is, what are the parent professions needed around writing? Publishing isn't one of them. Editing, we need, desperately. Fact-checking, we need. For some kinds of long-form texts, we need designers. Will we have a movie-studio kind of setup, where you have one class of cinematographers over here and another class of art directors over there, and you hire them and put them together for different projects, or is all of that stuff going to be bundled under one roof? We don't know yet. But the publishing apparatus is gone. Even if people want a physical artifact — pipe the PDF to a printing machine. We've already seen it happen with newspapers and the printer. It is now, or soon, when more people will print the New York Times holding down the "print" button than buy a physical copy. [...] Institutions will try to preserve the problem for which they are the solution. Now publishers are in the business not of overcoming scarcity but of manufacturing demand. And that means that almost all innovation in creation, consumption, distribution and use of text is coming from outside the traditional publishing industry.To all of which we say, Thewayitis!

As the subtitle [A Guide For The Willing But Perplexed] of this four-volume series implies, The Four Days of Wagner's Ring has been written for those intrigued by Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen but feel its complexities too daunting or complicated to undertake on their own, and who have found existing guides to be either too simplistic or so scholarly and/or lengthy as to be almost as daunting as the work it purports to explicate and make clear. The volumes in this series adopt a middle ground that it's hoped readers will find engaging reading and a helpful and illuminating guide through the intricacies of Wagner's great tetralogy.The curious and unanticipated problem is that we're experiencing some measure of unsureness getting "into the head" of that intended reader and so are having some difficulty in judging whether our approach is really striking the middle ground promised above, or whether we're missing the mark by being not simple enough, or too simple, or condescending, or.... Well, you get the idea. So, this is a call for so-called focus-group participants. If you meet the description of the above intended reader (or know someone who does) and own a Kindle or, alternatively (but not ideally), have installed on your computer Kindle For PC or Kindle For Mac, do drop us an eMail (or have the aforementioned someone do so) at The Wagner Group and we'll eMail you back a Kindle preview (.mobi) file containing the first few chapters of the book along with instructions on how to transfer it to your Kindle or to the proper Kindle document folder on your computer. (NOTE: Please let us know whether you'll be reading on a Kindle or on Kindle For PC or Kindle For Mac.) What we're looking for in return, of course, are your comments, positive and/or negative, on what you've read. We regret that the only compensation we can offer you for your participation in this focus group is a free copy of Volume I of The Four Days of Wagner's Ring on its publication. We do look forward to hearing from you, and thank you for your attention to this call.

In the event you've been living in a cave isolated from the outside world for the past decade or so, we'd like to call to your attention that it's the year two-thousand-and-ten A.D., Print On Demand (POD) publishing is available to anyone with a book to publish at little to no cost, and the eBook, also available to anyone with a book to publish at little to no cost, has finally come into its own. So, the question is: Why, then, the necessity or need today for book publishing houses? What function do they perform or what service do they provide that an author could not perform or provide himself, or hire experts to perform or provide for him? In short, why are book publishing houses still in business today at all? Answer: Beats us. Book publishing houses are an anachronism; a relic of the pre-digital past who have — or rather, should have — no place whatsoever in today's book publishing market for new books.Today, we read this not unexpected revelation. Sounds to us like the beginning of the end for old-world-style book publishing as far as the general market for new books is concerned, and sounds to us as well the right way to go. We suspect the transition will take almost a generation before it's fully accomplished, but accomplished it will almost certainly be.

I seem to have written more than three thousand words without a single kind one for How to Write a Sentence and How to Read One. To remedy this, at least partially, let it be noted that, at 165 pages, index and acknowledgments and biographical note on the author included, it is a short book.RTWT here.

For Fish a great sentence is like a great athletic performance. It is an example of something done supremely well, so well that it cannot be bettered. Other similar feats will come along, but only to stand alongside it. What exactly is done in such a performance? There is no single answer, indeed no finite answer since there is no limit to the things that can be done with words. But it is what Conrad called the "shape and ring" of sentences, the perfect adaptation of form to achievement, that Fish wants to share. It is wrong to think that the sentence is a mere slave, whose function is to bear content, which, while being the really important thing, is also something that could equally have been borne by another. Change the shape and ring, and you change everything. The balance, the alliterations, the variation, the melody, the lights glimmering in the words, can work together to transform even an ugly thought into something iridescent.... [...] Do shape and ring matter? Perfection always matters. Without the sensitivity Fish admires, we would not only have no great literature. We would also have had no Gettysburg address, no Churchill, and no Martin Luther King, Jr. If we cannot move peoples' souls, we cannot move their ways of living either: "Let me write the songs of a nation, and I care not who writes its laws."Quite right — all of it.

Like many Catholics, I came late to the King James Bible. I was schooled in the flat Knox version, and knew the beautiful, musical Latin Vulgate well before I was introduced to biblical beauty in my own tongue. I was around 20, sitting in St John's College Chapel in Oxford in the glow of late winter candlelight, though that fond memory may be embellished a little. A reading from the King James was given at Evensong. The effect was extraordinary: as if I had suddenly found, in the house of language I had loved and explored all my life, a hidden central chamber whose pillars and vaulting, rhythm and strength had given shape to everything around them.RTWT here.

What happens when an industry concerned with the production of culture [the commercial book publishing industry] is beholden to a company with the sole goal of underselling competitors [Amazon.com]? Amazon is indisputably the king of books, but the issue remains, as Charlie Winton, CEO of the independent publisher Counterpoint Press puts it, "what kind of king they're going to be." A vital publishing industry must be able take chances with new authors and with books that don't have obvious mass-market appeal. When mega-retailers have all the power in the industry, consumers benefit from low prices, but the effect on the future of literature — on what books can be published successfully — is far more in doubt.Excuse us? What kind of lunatic reasoning is that? "[T]he effect on the future of literature — on what books can be published successfully — is far more in doubt"(!)? No, you purblind flack. What's in doubt is the future of book publishing houses, not literature or books. Books, literature, and authors will do just fine — flourish, even — without irrelevant middlemen like book publishing houses who while eyeing foremost their own bottom line (not "the production of culture") make decisions on which books should or should not be published, and then take a hefty cut of authors' earnings for the privilege of being published by them. Talk about irrelevancy. Talk about chutzpah!

A true believer in unification [as was Kepler, Newton, Faraday, Einstein, Heisenberg, and Schrödinger], I spent my Ph.D. years, and many more, searching for a theory of Nature that reflected the belief that all is [ultimately] one. [...] Echoing the teachings of Pythagoras and Plato, this idea carries with it an implicit aesthetic judgment that such theories are more beautiful, and, as the poet John Keats wrote in 1819, that "beauty is truth." And yet, as we investigate the experimental evidence for unification ... we find very little hard data supporting [it]. [...] Slowly, my thoughts converged into an aesthetic based on imperfection rather than perfection. [...] [I]t's time for science to let go of the old aesthetic that espouses perfection as beauty and beauty as truth.See now why we hate the guy? And why exactly do we hate him? Because we've the sneaking, sinking suspicion he may actually be right.

Amazon's Kindle has become the breakthrough e-reader since it was introduced only three years ago, fueling a nearly $1 billion business that Forrester Research says will triple in the next five years. But it is edged out by the humble laptop as the e-reader of choice, according to a Forrester survey released Monday. Laptop users could very well be reading Kindle editions on a computer using software provided by Amazon, and may be motivated to merely avoid a third device.... Laptops only slightly trump the Kindle, 35 percent to 32 percent. Coming in third was the iPhone, with 15 percent, followed by a Sony e-reader (12 percent), netbooks (10 percent) and the Barnes & Noble Nook (9 percent). Also at 9 percent was the iPad.RTWT here.

e46 XENON Headlight Housing Repair
The other day I was involved in a minor accident, which cracked the lens on one of my headlights and broke the housing clips on both of the headlight assemblies. The housings are now unusable, and need to be replaced. However, all of the electronics, ballasts and bulbs, are fine. I have been searching around on the web, and haven't been able to find a replacement housing. Everyone seems to want to sell the entire module. Has anyone had any luck rebuilding OEM xenon headlights?
I'm looking at realoem right now.
See how that whole back portion is greyed out and there is not part exploded from it? That means there is no indivdual part for this area. I hate to give you the bad news. Maybe you can find unbroken ones at a junkyard or something.
unfortunately you wont be able to just buy the housing; however, go on the for sale section, and you'll see some people are posting this for sale there..
WDE46, that is what I have noticed as well. However, in the past I have found parts that are not sold individually through BMW, which a third party has manufactured on their own. A popular example is the rebuild kit for the locking cylinder for the door. I was hoping someone had done something similar for this part as well. If that's not the case, then I will probably need to call up some scrap yards.
As I don't know how badly your housings are damaged, I don't know if this would help - but BMW does offer a tab repair kit - see http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...ghts/ES172708/. They also offer replacement lenses - see http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...adlights/Lens/.
Good luck,
It's kind of funny, considering the number of aftermarket headlight assemblies on the market you know third parties are manufacturing the housing, or at least one similar.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the link, but it looks like this is for pre-facelift models, which contrary to the website beginning production towards the end of Q1 2002. Unfortunately, it seems to be a common problem for suppliers to indicate the wrong year. I am not sure why...
Fair enough... one last try :) They do seem to have a similar kit for facelifted headlights - http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E46-330...Kits/ES172900/
As stated you will have to either get the tab replacement kit or used headlights from the classifieds or eBay.
Has anyone ever tried sticking the OEM bi-xenon parts into a DEPO unit? parts4euro has a DEPO "Smoked Angel Eye Projector Headlights" set for $369 without the bulbs and ballasts. If I can stuff the OEM parts into this unit, that might be my best bet. Anyone tried this or had experience with both units?
if you are planning on expending $369 on those headlight and swap everything. you mind as well buy some cheap used headlights and do a complete retrofit with better projectors.. to answer your questions I believe they are interchangeable only with AL xenon.. there was a guy here who did this (search for xenon retrofit)
^ It's the first sticky.
factory bi-xenon does not mean better. it just means that it can do low and high beam. The bixenon projector is the same as the regular oem xenon..
I'm not sure if ever looked at the for sale section as suggested, There are more many posts like that

Lanco hears coal fears
Dozens of Bunbury residents have met representatives of a mining company that is proposing to export 10 million tonnes of coal from city's port each year.
Indian company Lanco Infratech plans to start exporting coal from its Collie mine in 2014.
Under the proposal, it would spend about $400 million expanding a berth at Bunbury Port.
Richard Offer was among a group of residents and business representatives who attended an open day yesterday.
Mr Offer lives near the port and says he is concerned about the potential for dust pollution.
"The port says that they are monitoring the dust currently but we feel that even though they are monitoring it and they say that there's no dust escaping from the port, it's funny that people living in the proximity of the port have dust on their window ledges," he said.

We traveled by plane this past week for Thanksgiving and took with us our anti-bacterial hand sanitizer, zinc lozenges, vitamins and Airborne tablets. We're not paranoid, just cautious. So when my sister-in-law introduced us to Sambucus Elderberry Extract, I was intrigued. She gives her three kids the elderberry extract and takes it herself to stay healthy during the cold & flu season. When I got home, I picked up our own bottle of Nature's Way Sambucus Black Elderberry Syrup to try. It's only been two days taking the syrup but after doing some research, I felt inclined to share…Surprisingly, it tastes pretty good – not medicine-like. I'll write an update in March and let you know if I avoid the flu for the season.
More about Elderberries:
One of the most important health benefits of the elderberry stems from its anti-viral capabilities. These richly colored berries are a good source of flavonoids including quercetin and the anthocyanins. It appears these flavonoids have significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and can activate immune cells that help the body to fight off viruses. The elderberry fruit is also a source of components known as lectins which have been shown in the laboratory to stop replication of ten different strains of the flu virus.
Elderberry extract in the form of Sambucol appears to have activity against some strains of influenza virus. Be cautious when eating elderberries. The unripe fruit, bark, leaves, and stems may contain cyanide which is poisonous. Never eat the green parts of the Elderberry plant. Keep in mind that the anti-viral and anti-flu effects were seen with Sambucol, the elderberry extract, which would be safest form to use for influenza. Always purchase the extract from a reputable source. (I found mine on sale at Whole Foods)

Bend native hunkers down in Tel Aviv as rockets fall
Nick Papa tells of loud bangs, sirens and fending off fear
BEND, Ore. - "When the sirens go off, we have to go into a safe room," said Bendite Nick Papa, who just moved to Tel Aviv a week ago for a job.
Since he arrived, he has heard many sirens, warning Israelis to seek shelter.
"The rockets when they come, it just goes and it goes. And then you've got about 15 seconds to go into a shelter," Papa said in a Skype interview Thursday.
Papa, 28 and a Summit High graduate in 2004, moved to Tel Aviv just as tensions rose in the latest conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Just in the last couple of weeks, Palestinians have fired about 440 rockets against Israel, with a severe escalation over the last couple of days.
"So this morning was different than the rest, because there were big kabooms," Papa said. "There's five that I counted. I know that there were at least five rockets today."
But the so-called "Iron Dome" defense mechanism is working, shooting down rockets before they hit the ground in Israel.
Dozens of Palestinians have died in air strikes, but no Israelis have been killed in the rocket attacks so far.
Papa said he received a degree in international studies and Chinese at a small liberal arts school in Ohio in 2008, moving to China two months after graduation and working in Beijing and Shanghai, moving to Tel Aviv just last week.
Papa said that despite everything, he mostly feels safe in Tel Aviv.
"Everybody is pretty worried. But they carry on," he said. "It's not the first time and it won't be the last. I mean, this has been going on for at least 60 to 70 years."
The ongoing conflict is nothing new to Israelis. That's why every apartment, every restaurant, every shop has to have a "safe room."
"So this morning, when the big ones came, my friends that I'm currently living with, they came into the room, and we closed the door and waited for it to stop," Papa said. "The sirens will continuously go off, and maybe you'll hear some booms -- and then it will just go."
Safe rooms are prepped for all kinds of attacks.
"This is the air filter," Papa said, displaying it. "So if there's any chemical weapons, you know you can come in here, you can lock the door up. It's got sealing on the doors. The light switches all sealed over with plastic. It's reinforced, and it's also chemical-proof."
Although Papa feels relatively safe, he has a Plan B if things get worse.
"Pack a suitcase and go to Cyprus or Istanbul or something like that," Papa said.

See what it's like inside Lancaster County Prison
The Lancaster County Prison is on the eastern side of Lancaster City where it was built in 1852. The building was based on the style of a medieval castle.
The prison originally had a 110-foot tower at its center. It was dismantled in 1886.PHOTO: Lancaster County Prison
Today, the prison holds maximum, medium and minimum security inmates.PHOTO: Katelyn Smith
Both men and women are held within its walls. The average population is about 800.
The prison has a 953-bed capacity.PHOTO: Katelyn Smith
Every year, there are more than 5,000 admissions to the prison with an approximately equal number of discharges.PHOTO: Katelyn Smith
About 65 percent of the prisoners are awaiting trial.PHOTO: Katelyn Smith
More than 30,000 civilians visit the prison every year. Most of them are visiting relatives on the inside.PHOTO: Katelyn Smith
Inmates are scheduled so they can receive three visits a week.
The prison has a full security force trained and capable of maintaining the custody and control of the inmate population, according to the prison.
There is also a treatment services staff that handles counseling, medical, psychiatric, mental health, mental retardation, education and vocational services, work release programming and other related activities, inclusive of the large number of community services program operating at the prison such as NA and AA, Thresholds, Volunteers in Probation / Parole, and more.
The prison also has a full-time chaplain.

The prison has an annual operating budget of $22 million.
All prisoners sentenced to the Lancaster County Prison are charged a fee of $ 10.00 per day for every day they are sentenced.

The art deco St Heliers cottages at the centre of a five-year battle between developers and heritage campaigners have been demolished.
Some of the about 20 protesters at the site were given bricks to keep as mementos as excavators knocked down the three historic houses.
"We have become a family down here ... and we have become so involved with these buildings," protester Jenny Boyd said. "We just want a little memory."
Lynne Scott, the secretary of the Save our St Heliers Society, described the demolition as a "tragedy" and the "end of St Heliers".
"I'm just so angry, because this is soul gone out of St Heliers - just like that - with a great big claw. It was like a big evil claw that just came down and it has taken the real soul out of this village.
"I can't believe the short-sightedness of this. In other countries, in Europe, they're keeping their history - we're just destroying it.
"That's the end of the battle - the war is still to be won."
Save Our St Heliers Society spokeswoman Dorothy McHattie said the destruction of the houses would forever change the character of the seaside suburb.
"It's a tragedy these colonial era and 1930s houses, that mean so much to so many people across Auckland, will be lost forever without an independent, thorough assessment of their heritage value."
She vowed to fight against future residential and commercial development sin St Heliers.
"This is not the end for us," says Ms McHattie. "There is still so much in St Heliers to protect and there are already development plans for other parts of the village.
"We will fight tooth and nail to keep the remaining character of this unique seaside village."
An appeal to stop the demolition of the Turua St houses was yesterday turned down by the Environment Court.
In a reserved decision, Judge Laurie Newhook said there was not enough evidence six houses on Turua St had heritage or historic value.
The fact the cottages were loved by many in the St Heliers community is not enough of a legal basis to stop the demolition, he said.
Peddle Thorp Architects director Richard Goldie said the Turua St houses did not qualify as heritage buildings under "robust" processes used by Auckland Council.
It is difficult to protect buildings like the Turua St on an assessment of character, he said.
"Included in our labyrinthine District Plan... is a schedule of heritage items including buildings. The Turua Street cottages are not on the schedule.
"Sometimes 'scheduling' appears to be at odds with what the public thinks and the Queens Wharf sheds are a good example. Character on the other hand is an even more slippery thing, not easily classified, hence not easily protected.
"Such is the case with the Turua Street cottages."
Ms McHattie said it was wrong the decision relied on a heritage report submitted on Tuesday by Auckland Council.
"The society strongly disagrees with the acceptance of this hastily produced assessment done by a party which cannot be considered impartial."
Save Our St Heliers Society spokeswoman Sally Hughes said his decision left many who had campaigned to save the houses - some for more than five years - in tears.
"There's only been a dozen of us in court but the people down on the street will be absolutely devastated.
"They have given their lives to this case. It's part of the fabric of their community and they care very deeply about retaining the character that St Heliers was based on."
The houses were about to be demolished last week when Mr Newhook issued an injunction stopping the bulldozers until the case deciding their heritage value was heard.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown said on January 17 there was no affordable way to save the cottages from demolition.
He had sought a delay to the demolition after councillors turned down an attempt to place a heritage order on the buildings by a vote of 14-7 on December 16.
"Absolutely everything that could be reasonably and legally done was done in this case, but unfortunately that was not enough."
A letter to councillors from Council Chief Executive Doug McKay said there was no evidential basis to impose or seek heritage orders to protected the buildings.
Buying or shifting the cottages would likely cost in excess of $10m, he said.
"The preferred position is to allow the developer to progress his approved and consented development.
"There is no appetite for spending this amount of money, is the sense I have from feedback to date."

Auto insurance, reduce costs but maintain protection, 7/18/2011, 10:00 am
Expand Messages
Reminder from: locost Yahoo! Group Title: Auto insurance, reduce costs but maintain protection Date: Monday July 18, 2011 Time: 10:00 am - 11:00 am Repeats: This event repeats every day. Notes: Auto insurance is a legal requirement in every US state and Canadian province. Costs are continuing to rise. How can you reduce some of these expenses and still get the best coverage?
First, get multiple quotes from the Internet and your neighborhood broker. You can shop for different types of quotes from a direct-sell insurance companies and offline and online brokers.
Auto insurance that is cheapest isn't always the smartest move. Ask yourself, is the company financially secure? Are they reputable and will they pay out if you have to make a claim.
The first piece of the policy is almost always liability insurance. If you only have minimum liability coverage and you injure someone, their attorney can go after your personal assets. Many insurers feel that minimum liability is a gamble. In fact, that is why it is often only a little more money for more protection.
Auto insurance varies on car types. Coverage for a sports car is very different from insuring the family sedan or mini-van.
If you are looking to buy a car, consider buying a car that "looks good" to insurance companies. For instance, insurance companies know what kinds of cars are prone to problems. They also know what kinds of cars are most often stolen. If you haven't purchased your car yet, find out what cars make this "good list" among auto insurers.
Consider how much coverage you really need to buy and the price each of these coverages will pay. Think about collision and comprehensive coverage, which is how much you will be reimbursed for the loss or destruction of your vehicle. Are you carrying $30,000 worth of collision coverage for a $12,000 vehicle?
If your car was totaled, would you be able to afford to replace it? If not, you will want comprehensive and collision coverage.... Read More...

Collecting Driftwood In Wa
Greetings, I'm wondering if anyone has any info on the laws/regulations regarding the collection of small amounts of driftwood in Washington state? I've tried to find answers online, but for some reason our fine government has decided there is apparently no benefit to making it easy to find out what the rules are regarding this.
