PetHealth101 sponsored by petmed - Have questions after you've adopted your first pet?
Whether companion animals are pure or mixed breeds they all deserve the same quality of care. Diseases such as mange, heart worm, etc. does not discriminate against pure or mixed breeds nor does the cost for their treatment. Only when you ask for the same adoption fee is a mixed breed short changed at a chance to be adopted. Please keep this in mind when asked a higher adoption fee for a pure breed so we are able to recover the costs for all our rescued companion animals.
Remember companion animals don't know they are pure bred or mixed, only the true animal lover finds them all to be priceless

noun - 1. the act or process of communicating;
fact of being communicated.
2. means of sending messages, orders, etc.,
telephone, telegraph, radio
and television.
MatchCom® Referees Talkback System
is a communication or talkback system conceived and
designed in Australia by Murray Tregonning of
Murray Tregonning & Associates Pty Ltd.
It is a high end professional communications system.
Its function is to allow all on-field match officials
easy communication with each other and can be used
in a variety of sporting codes.It is expandable, if
required, to allow for any number of match officials
and to allow a Video Referee / Umpire to communicate
with all on-field match officials and additionally
to the television broadcaster to facilitate video
replays for video decisions. It also allows for Referee
/ Umpire assessors (and Trainee Referees) off the
field to listen to all the match officials verbal
communications. A further facility allows any of the
on-field match officials microphones to be fed
to the television broadcaster as clean feeds
if required. It is also possible for this complete
mixed audio feed of all the match officials
microphones to be recorded on DVD along with the television
pictures for referee / umpire training, assessment
and judiciary purposes.
This system has now been successfully used by the
National Rugby League (Australia) for the last 12
years and the New Zealand and Australian Rugby Unions
for all their Super 12 (14) and International Tests
for the last 8 years. New Zealand Rugby, as of 2004,
now uses it for all their Air New Zealand Cup Competition.
It has also been used in Scotland by the Scottish
Rugby Union for 4 years until 2004 for all of their
6 Nations games and International Tests.
It was adopted by the International Rugby Board for
the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia. It was also
used by the ERC (European Rugby) for their Parker
Pen Challenge Cup Final at Reading UK and the Heineken
Cup Final at Twickenham in May 2004.
August 2007 MatchCom was re-introduced by Murray Tregonning
& Associates UK Ltd into Welsh Rugby for all their
6 Nations and televised games. We expect a great deal
of expansion in the UK / European market in the next
3 years from our London based MT&A (UK) Ltd.
has also been successfully used in International Cricket
by the International Cricket Council at the 2002 Champions
Trophy in Sri Lanka and the 2004 Champions Trophy
in the UK. For ICC 2004 Champions Trophy, the MatchCom
system was expanded to include Stump Microphone
/ Earpiece Assist. For the first time, this
allowed the two on field cricket umpires to hear the
stump microphone of the facing batsman so they could
hear all of the bat noises for caught behind decisions.
It was further trialed during the ICC Johnnie Walker
Super Series in October 2005 in Australia as then
in ICC Cricket World Cup in the West Indies in
March / April 2007.
In September 2005, we also conducted a series of trials
for the NHL (the National Hockey League) in Canada
and the US. These trials will continue in the future
and it is hoped to see MatchCom introduced across
all games. In May 2007 we successfully introduced
MatchCom in the Australian Football Leagues
(AFL) Premiership series which is staged Australia
wide. This contact will continue during the 2008 and
2009 AFL Seasons.
A full radio duplex two-way talkback system for on-field
match officials.
2. Broadcast quality and frequency agile.
3. Robust design and athlete friendly.
4. Innovative design utilizing components for world
leading audio suppliers.
5. Dedicated design and operations support team.
6. Fully integrated with the Television Broadcaster.
system was first created for the News Limited Super
League (Rugby League) Australian breakaway competition
in 1996. The technology is in its eleventh year of
operation without failure or technical problems. Our
aim is to keep on the cutting edge of change and modify
the system to accommodate the best in leading edge
audio technology for the match officials and the host
television broadcasters.
prides itself on establishing and maintaining leading
edge technology and service. The system is owned and
operated by Murray Tregonning of Murray Tregonning
& Associates Pty Ltd, Australias leading
broadcast audio designer / supplier.
has been trialled in Football (Soccer) in both Australia
and Scotland at
U21 level and in May 2001 at the Scottish Premier
League match Rangers v Kilmarnock
in Glasgow, Scotland.

[2]9/11 is an appropriate day to write about the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close [2]by Jonathan Safron Foer. As mentioned in last week's blog, this is the selection for this year's Gulf Coast Reads [3]. Our book discussion will be on Wednesday, October 17 from 10:30 – 11:30.
There are numerous lists on the Internet of discussion questions for the book. (Note: some of the discussion questions contain spoilers.) One such website is LitLovers [4], a website for book clubs founded by Molly Lundquist [5], a former college English professor who wants to spread her love for literature. Included in this website is a Reading Guide [6]for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. This reading guide provides a summary of the book, information about the author, and Discussion Questions [7]. Another set of discussion questions [8]can be found at BookBrowse [9].
Questions that seems appropriate for today are: "Did reading the book bring back memories of 9/11 for you? Do you remember how you felt in the days and weeks that followed that event? Do you remember what scared you? What were you grateful for?"
As you read the book, please ponder some of the discussion questions for the book, or create questions of your own to ask the group. Write down comments you would like to make or quotes from the book you would like to share.
Next week I will blog about some of my favorite quotes from the first part of the book.

Beyond gelato and spaghetti, this cleanser might be our favorite Italian import. It gently eliminates layers of oil, dirt, and makeup without leaving your skin feeling dry. The hefty tube has enough to last you for months, while the faint fragrance won't leave you smelling like a perfume counter.
I began using my sample FINALLY the last couple of months and I think I've found exactly what I need. For harsh northern climates, one should not be washing their face with soap. My skin esthetician this summer actually told me that I should be using a cream cleanser anyway. I will definitely be using the product in the future.5

The standard errors alone will not do, you will need the entire
variance covariance matrix. If you have that, you can do something like
*------- begin example ---------------
capture program drop coefin
program define coefin, eclass
matrix b = 1, 2, 3
matrix colnames b = foo bar blup
matrix V = 3, -1, -1 \ ///
-1, 2, -1 \ ///
-1, -1, 1
matrix colnames V = foo bar blup
matrix rownames V = foo bar blup
ereturn post b V
ereturn local cmd "coefin"
nlcom _b[foo]/_b[bar]
*----------- end example ---------------

It was the year of the first Lotto draw and the first heart transplant in New Zealand.
Herbs won the award for best New Zealand album of the year with Sensitive to a Smile while the nation was stunned by the murder of Napier schoolgirl Teresa Cormack.
Silver Ferns netballer Maria Tutaia was born, so too Hayley Westenra, and the Rugby World Cup made its first appearance.
The official march-past was underwhelming. It was a showery Friday afternoon and pictures of the first global tournament show sparsely populated grandstands at Eden Park as former All Black flanker Waka Nathan led the march, which capped a relay run by 15 former test players from the airport to the ground.
The Auckland union had been asked to take over running the promotion just three weeks before kickoff, and executive director Lew Pryme and choreographer Lynette Perry pulled the ceremony together.
The 108 ounces of gold-plated silver on the Webb Ellis Cup was introduced during an hour-long preamble and the players milled around for a while before referee Bob Fordham eventually whistled time on in the tournament.
Two years earlier, the event was given the green light by the International Rugby Board, although Ireland and Scotland were dissenting voices. Japanese communications firm KDD bailed out tournament organisers with a $3 million sponsorship, a figure which matched the IRB's eventual tournament profit.
A week before kickoff, there were serious doubts Fiji would be able to take their place in the 16-team competition as the islands suffered another coup. Eventually they made it and Samoa stayed as first reserve.
About 600,000 spectators went to the matches and 300 million watched the television coverage in 17 countries.
What do we remember of it? For some it was the image of Buck Shelford staying on the field after knocking out Welsh lock Huw Richards. Referee Kerry Fitzgerald waited until Richards came to, then ordered to launch World CupSPARSE TURNOUT: Scouts carry a banner during the 1987 Rugby World Cup opening ceremony at Eden Park. Picture / Getty Images
The All Black side displayed a great brand of mobile rugby to win the final 29-9 against France.him off for starting the trouble and warned Shelford about his retaliation.
For others it was All Black skipper David Kirk scoring in the final and then sharing the trophy with the side's original but injured skipper, Andy Dalton.
An unco-operative hamstring thwarted Dalton's involvement after he had been the subject of a pre-tournament inquiry about endorsing farming products in a television commercial.
It might have been the sight of Fijian fullback Severo Korondudua striding for the line and then losing the ball when it slipped like a pip from his grasp. It might have been Michael Jones scoring the first try of the tournament or John Kirwan's majestic length-of-the-field touchdown in the same game.
The All Blacks' eventual triumph came after political fallout from the rebel Cavaliers' trip to South Africa the year before.
South Africa became the only IRB member not invited because they would not have gained visas to New Zealand or Australia and even if they had, their involvement would have caused great angst and problems.
The All Black coaching panel was altered. Alex Wyllie and John Hart were brought in to assist Brian Lochore, and they uncovered a squad who could play in a style based on skill and intensity. Possible captain Jock Hobbs fell by the wayside because of concussion and then Dalton succumbed to injury.
Those dramas quickly evaporated as a superbly conditioned All Black side displayed a great brand of mobile rugby to surge through the tournament and win the final 29-9 against France at Eden Park.
It was all over inside four weeks. The All Blacks played only one more official test that year - against the Wallabies in Sydney a month later.
Australia and their voluble coach Alan Jones had been expected to feature strongly in the World Cup. They bombed but were expected to give the All Blacks equal opposition in Sydney to anything they had encountered in the World Cup.
The All Blacks triumphed 30-16 and brought home the Bledisloe Cup to complete a superb unbeaten season.
With or Without You by U2 is at No1 as the first World Cup kicks off, but Bon Jovi's hair-rock classic Livin' on a Prayer is the biggest hit of the year.

So Burger King has pulled a video they say was prematurely rolled out to the web -- an ad in which modern-day music legend Mary J. Blige sings the praises of the chain's new chicken wrap. But, as Jorge Rivas writes at Colorlines.com/Now, the ad is already generating buzz, and not the positive kind.
While Mary's fans generally give her the benefit of the doubt on her paycheck-oriented projects, this ad seems particularly egregious. While accompanying spots feature Jay Leno and David Beckham politely promoting BK's new healthy items, Mary is shown interrupting people and hawking the unhealthiest item of the bunch. (Plus... it's fried chicken. Come on.) We're not going to resolve the question of an artist's duty to her legacy anytime soon, of course. But fast food has a well-dicumented role in the chronic health issues in poor communities of color, which makes watching this hurt more than usual.
So what's the saddest part of all this? The weird icky stereotyping? The selling out to fast food in general? The longing by a few of Mary's fans for control over a private citizen's career decisions? The sloppy handling by Burger King? Or the fact that Mary J. Blige couldn't or didn't turn it down? Here's what you had to say.
Malik Shy:
Damn, MJB, is record sales that bad where you're promoting fast foods joints that are killing low-income and less-conscious black folks?
It's not that bad, but why does her hair look like an Aunt Jemima headrag?
Jaila Bean:
Not sure about outrage but it feels the same as if Patti LaBelle danced a jig on a Mickey D's commercial. Mary fans probably feel that she's beyond stuff like this. Apparently she doesn't think so... * shrug *
Brownleaf Green:
To be honest with you, if MJB were promoting a vegan chicken (beans or mushroom protein) in a low-carb (collard greens or flax seed flour) wrap, and it was for a local family-owned, ethical, organic restaurant instead of BK or another national franchise -- I would totally support this commercial. I mean, MJB was jamming. Amazing performance. I don't even eat fast food, but they had me rocking to that jawn. lol. But seriously, the sister did this to pay a bill. How many of us sell out and bo-jangle for much less, and on the regular? This ain't nothing new. :-)
Maybe they can book her for a watermelon ad next.
apk32703 in response to another commenter:
[...] Why is a she a sellout? Because she is singing about chicken? If she eats chicken and she agrees to endorse BK, please explain WHY this makes her an Aunt Tom. She can eat chicken, but not endorse it? Seriously? Millions of people eat chicken -- black, white, asian, hispanic etc. If she is offered a paycheck for promoting something that she likes, is not immoral and doesn't hurt anyone, why wouldn't she? I say the shame is on you for putting a sister down unnecessarily, not her for doing what she loves -- singing and performing.
Matthew Bowen:
Don't you think that by making a big deal about a stigma, we are only making sure that it remains a big deal? Yes, I'm a white man that has no idea what it means to be a minority; that is why I'm asking. It seems to me that, for example, if the black community gets vocal about a black person liking fried chicken on a commercial, then the stigma of "other races think it's funny when black people eat fried chicken" gets stronger from all the attention. I never would have thought about it if it were not for all the publicity it's getting. Like I said... I don't know... it just makes me sick that our society still has so many racial issues. PS: Fried chicken is my second favorite food (pizza is #1).
Toro Castaño:
I didn't get the chicken connection as much as I got the association with a crap brand that pushes processed garbage in (poor) communities.
Each week, we round up the best comments in our community. Join the conversation here on Colorlines.com, and on Facebook and Twitter.

There's no denying it: £230 is a heck of a lot of money to spend on a set of earphones. Even though the Klipsch Image X10i descend from such pedigree as the Klipsch Image X10 and Klipsch Image X5 there's still no ignoring the price. At £60 more than the Image X10 and £100 more than the Image X5 you'd have to be blind not to see the significant premium with which the Image X10i are encumbered.
Nevertheless, if the expensive is something you can cope with there's good reason to do so. The 'i' part of the name inevitably betrays these as earphones designed for use with an iPhone or iPod touch, with the in-line remote which that entails found at the Y-split in the cable. But even with that extra weight, the X10i are still among the very lightest of earphones available.
In fact, we'll go so far as to say that with the provided clip attached and supporting the in-line remote's weight, the Image X10i earphones offer a level of comfort paralleled only by the Image X10 before them. It takes a conscious effort to remember that you're even wearing earphones with the Image X10i inserted, which makes wearing them long-term blissfully free of discomfort.
Partly this is because of the weight - or lack thereof - and partly this is because of Klipsch's clever oval ear-tip design. This more closely resembles the shape of your ear canal than circular tips. You'll get as good a fit from foam tips as they mould themselves to fit your ear specifically, but these come remarkably close.

Let's pay some homage to the garage. The one room that we tend to fill to the brim with everything under the sun -- sometimes never to be found again. The garage typically gets demoted to the bottom of the pile in terms of design, organization and priority.

I recently acquired a vintage fireplace mantle from one of my favourite local antique and salvage shops. The store is aptly named The Salvage Shop.

It's hard to imagine the words "laundry" and "inspiration" together in the same sentence. It's not usually a room in which most people want to spend more time.
Yet this was the request from my client, Andrea from Mommy Gearest: makeover her ho-hum laundry room into a...

Mitch Evans dominated the feature GP3 Series race during the European Grand Prix Formula 1 weekend at the Valencia Street Circuit in Spain on Saturday.
Evans, who turned 18 on June 24th, led confidently from start to finish after taking pole position in his MW Arden Dallara-Renault. It was a perfect performance that regained the points lead from Aaro Vainio of Lotus GP, who finished second.
Evans completed the opening lap 0.3s ahead of Vainio and steadily stretched the gap as the two traded fastest lap times. Having won 4pts for pole position, Evans had a clean sweep of available points with the additional 2pts he claimed for his 1m 59.83s fastest lap on lap 12 of 14.
The young Aucklander was the only driver to go under 2 minutes and his best lap was three tenths faster than Vainio.
The Finnish driver held the gap under a second in the first half of the race, but Evans extended this to 2.4s by the start of the final lap, and coasted across the finishing line 2.19s ahead.
It was Evans' second victory of the season and he now has a 2pt series lead over Vainio. Evans will start Sunday's 'reverse top eight grid' race from the fourth row of the 24 car grid.
"It wasn't easy," said Evans at the post race media conference. "Myself and Aaro were going pretty hard so it was a really close race. If I had made one mistake he would have been right on me. It was like that for most of the race and then I was fortunate enough to pull a bit of a gap as he made a small mistake. From then on, I just pinned my ears back and tried to go for fastest lap."
Evans said he wasn't expecting to regain the series lead in Spain unless Vainio had a bad weekend. "I am really happy to have done pole, win and set the fastest lap. We will keep pushing on, we now focus on tomorrow's race and see if we can improve. Hopefully we'll come away with another good result."
He said the reverse grid Sunday race would be challenging.
"It is possible to pass around here. Last year I started sixth and finished fourth as there was a lot of passing going on. I think we are all close and around the same speed so it might be difficult to move forward dramatically.
"I will do my best but for me it's just about pushing to get as close to the front as possible and picking up a strong result."
Evans's team-mate David Fumanelli lost his front-row starting position going into the first corner as Vainio slipped ahead. Tio Ellinas then pushed Fumanelli down to fourth at the second corner.
Fumanelli eventually fought back with a textbook switchback overtaking move on Ellinas at Turn 12 on lap 13 to secure the final place on the podium, but was over 10s in arrears of the leaders at the finish.
The third MW Arden car of Mathias Laine finished fifth, after pulling away from a huge battle between Daniel Abt and Kevin Ceccon that was narrowly decided in Abt's favour.
Lotus driver Conor Daly, who was belatedly stung with a 10-place grid penalty at Valencia following his Monaco crash three weeks ago, jumped the start but battled back from a drive-through penalty to finish 11th.
Patric Niederhauser will start Sunday's reversed-grid race from pole, as he finished eighth after winning a fierce battle with Carlin's Will Buller.

The Seinfeld counter culture
Earlier this year my wife and I saw Jerry Seinfeld perform in Asheville. He looked a little older, and in fairness so did we. But his sense of humor and classic comedy style blew us away.
We needed a good laugh at the time, because I was half way through a major foot makeover — and Carol was tired of being "the caregiver."
In the following weeks, we started watching "Seinfeld" almost every evening, and it brought back great memories.
In one classic episode, "The Nap" — most famous for George Costanza's desk makeover into a sleeping hideaway — Jerry remodels his kitchen, and then has it restored/returned to its original configuration — spending $4,000 in the process.
That got us thinking — why not replace our kitchen counter tops?
We had been talking about this project for some time, so I began an intensive "search" for a vendor. That search started (and ended) when I Googled — "Kitchen Counters Waynesville." Up came Sears, Lowes, and one local company that sounded very familiar — Vandelay Stone Tops.
I recognized the name Vandelay, but I couldn't quite recall if it was a who, a what, or a where.
Vandelay? Ah yes, another job for Google.
It turns out that Vandelay was a name used very freely on the TV show "Seinfeld."
Vandelay was the excuse Jerry and George gave for loitering in the lobby of an office building — "We're waiting for Art Vandelay, an importer/exporter …."
In another hilarious "Seinfeld" episode, George tells the unemployment office he is getting a job as a latex salesman. They verify by calling the number George had given them — and Jerry answers, "Vandelay Industries."
In yet another "Seinfeld" episode, Elaine uses Art Vandelay as a name for her fictional boyfriend.
All these "Seinfeld" references convinced me to take a closer look at Waynesville's own Vandelay Stone Tops, so I made an appointment with the not-so-Cosmo-Kramer-like owner, John Ring.
To my delight, Ring was a huge "Seinfeld" fan. In fact, he named his company "Vandelay" after watching Seinfeld's episode, "The Latex Salesman."
Unfortunately, the name Vandelay Industries was already taken so Ring settled on Vandelay Stone Tops.
John Ring is now living the George Costanza dream (Or should I say nightmare?) — doing so many quality countertops that he rarely has time to nap under his desk.
I guess his experience paid off. Ring spent nearly 10 years selling countertops for out-of-state fabricators, before opening his shop in Waynesville. He brought five new jobs to the community in the process.
Vandelay employs stonecutters, fabricators and installers — all are all-around stone "wizards." Vandelay works with a variety of stone surfaces, and can order just about any stone you want. Best of all, Ring works closely with customers so they make an informed decision.
There are so many great stone surfaces available today, including marble, granite and quartz. And that's exactly the progression Carol and I walked when we chose our countertop.
I love the purely natural marble and granite surfaces — those that John says; "only God can create." Unfortunately those surfaces are fairly porous, and therefore prone to staining.
We know from experience from the granite we had when we lived in the "F-word" state. It needs to be repeatedly sealed, and resealed.
Quartz countertops, on the other hand, are man-made — from the part of the granite that gives it hardness. They are less likely to crack, chip or stain and never have to be sealed.
Vandelay also has a variety of recyclable and sustainable countertop surfaces available, including Ice Stone and Geos.
As for price, we found Vandelay very competitive. Naturally (no pun) granite starts out a little less expensive than quartz, but quickly rises in cost dramatically for more intricate designs and patterns.
My wife and I chose a grey, tan and green quartz surface, and the Vandelay team did a quality job of fabricating, fitting and installing our new countertops. We're very happy with them.
Vandelay's foreman, Tomas Martinez, even made us heart-shaped quartz trivets from unused parts of our slab — a pleasant surprise!
Down the road, I'll probably be writing a column about how I dropped one of those quartz trivets, breaking our glass dining room table. That's something George Costanza would do.
Vandelay Stone Tops is at 18 Hemlock St., in Waynesville (at the corner of Hemlock and South Main). You can ring John Ring at 226-4454. Tell him Jerry Seinfeld sent you.

At Cultivating Community, we believe that all of us can lead more exciting, fulfilling, and positive lives by becoming more conscious, active, and joyful around food. We plan to build up this section of our website up into a genuine resource for all of us who are moving in this direction. And, in the meantime, here are some of the many voices that we can all listen to and be inspired by:
- We can be joyful while we're trying to change the world. As long we we're also aware that you can't get away with things just by doing the easy stuff. You actually have to challenge certain things and put yourself in uncomfortable positions, often risking things in order to achieve real change—Karen Washington, Community Gardener, the Bronx, New York City
- It takes a lot of skill to be able to grow food sustainably. It's an art form. We need to raise agriculture up to another different level like they do in Europe where farmers are on the same level as engineers and doctors… because the food that we eat is the most important thing in our lives—Antonio Roman-Alcala, Farmer/Activist, San Francisco, CA
- The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life—Wendell Berry, philosopher, farmer, and writer
- I feel that good food should be a right and not a privilege, and it needs to be without pesticides and herbicides. And everybody deserves this food. And that's not elitist—Alice Waters, cook and food activist
- When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization—Daniel Webster

New Ad: Congressman Duffy "Axed" Medicare, But Gave Himself Taxpayer Funded Healthcare
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Independent Expenditure released its third TV ad, "Axe," which exposes how Congressman Sean Duffy brought the axe to Washington, gutting Medicare, but protecting pay and perks for himself. Congressman Sean Duffy voted to essentially end Medicare and hike the cost for seniors by more than $6,000 while at the same time voting to protect his own pay and give Members of Congress taxpayer funded health care for life.
Script of DCCC IE AD "Axe"
Voiceover: Congressman Duffy said he'd bring the axe. And did he ever.
Trying to gut Medicare.
Undermining Medicare warned the nonpartisan AARP.
Essentially ending it.
And increasing costs over six thousand a year.
But Duffy's pay? He voted to protect it.
And give Congress taxpayer-funded health care - for life.
Congressman Duffy just doesn't get it.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.

Hot wire and fuse on aux. fan switch
I have a custom built car (Chevy 350 drive train) with an auxiliary fan 130 watts at the front of the radiator. It is just set up with a manual toggle switch at the dash and powered by a 14 gauge lead from a hot terminal under the dash. There is a 25 amp fuse in the line. No relay. When I flip on the switch, the wire and fuse will gradually get hotter and hotter until almost untouchable. I always have switched it off at that point (usually don't need the cool fan for long anyhow), but have never let the fuse blow, which I am sure it would do. The toggle itself does not get as hot in comparison to the fuse and wire leading to it so I think it can handle the heat. The fuse in on the battery side of the switch which I assume is correct.
So what may be the problem? Poor ground from the fan? I know that having a relay is desirable but would that change the problem? Need a heavier gauge hot wire? Hot wire directly from the battery? Any advice appreciated.
Your courting a fire in the making..
!4 gauge wire is way under rated for the draw your fan (s) are pulling..for starters.
The switch is most likely under rated as well..most "off the shelf" switches are rated at about 5 amps continuous contact ratings..
You need to install a relay, and 10 gauge wire.
A Fan may "Spike" many times it's rated value under certain conditions. Start up for one..That current that is required for the fan to overcome gravity..Rotor lock is another (a plastic bag sucked up off the roadway) , It can cause multiples of it's regular draw..Obstructions to the air flow..the possibilities are endless..
This will end your heating issues, it will deliver more power to the fan motor, be properly fuse linked, and your car will be less likely to catch on fire.
Doc :pimp:
I was not correct on the fuse set up. There is a fuse on the battery side of the switch which is 25 amp. I also then found a 25 amp fuse on the output side of the switch, and it is this fuse and the switch that heats up. I assume because it is on the output side. I checked the ground and found it grounded to chasis through the radiator frame (also not good?).
Doc, thanks for the prompt reply, and I will do just as you suggest. Please explain:
"Coil power to switch now."
"Coil ground to a good bonded hard ground"
Are you referring to the Relay Coil?
Also, I am not sure of the gauge of the original fan wires, but they don't look like 10 gauge. Will a soldered splice with 10 gauge as close as possible to the fan be OK? (I can't get to the fan itself, as it is in never, never land in front of the radiator and behind the grill).
And also, the battery ground cable is bolted to the block, would that place fit your description of a 'bonded' hard ground?
Lastly, will I still be able to power the relay with direct twelve volts (always on) so I can use the fan to cool down after engine is shut down. Don't want to use a thermostat.
Your answer will as always be appreciated, and I will be able to get busy with the above answers, (sorry for so many questions).
Relay terminals
Got a relay, 30 amp. (no hang up tab was available). There are 4 terminals.
Correct me if I am wrong:
1:Terminals #85 and #86 are the coil terminals and polarity is not an issue?
Should I put a smaller fuse in the battery side lead to the coil?
2: Terminal #30 is the power in tab (battery side) and must be fuse linked
with say 25 amp fuselink.
3: Terminal 87 (which is turned 90 degrees from the other 3) is the power out
to the fan.
10 gauge wire on the high amp side. And is 14 gauge ok on the low amp side as I have some available. I plan to place the relay in the engine compartment as close as possible to the fan, so as to shorten the high amp wire length. Then will run the low amp switch wires from the dash. All will be routed away from the exhaust areas (no problem)
Am ready to fly upon your approval or correction of the above.
Yes I am compulsive, but it pays. rap
Run a properly gauged Ground cable from the battery to any handy bolt at or near the starter, From that same bolt get a Battery cable at the parts store, that has two 3/8 ring terminals on each end and attach it there and to the Frame.
Next get some 10 gauge wire and ring terminals and run that from your bolt on the block to the Firewall, and another to the Alternator bracket or mount bolt.
Next get some Wire Braid, (Radio Shack) and install braid from the radiator support to the frame, Fenderwells to frame , hood to firewall, Doors to door posts, gas flap to body, tailgate / Trunk to body.
At each point the wire is grounded, Burnish ALL the paint and grease off to bare metal. Use a proper star-washer and lock. Use sheetmetal or Tech screws where no screws are available.
It sounds like a lot of work, but after you assemble all the parts, it's only a few hours to do..and you'll end up with a system that will work reliably for many years to come..and can eliminate that from your troubleshooting list.
"Coil ground to a good bonded hard ground" <---the other side of the relay coil to a known good ground/body part, burnished surface and a star-washer.
Are you referring to the Relay Coil?<---Yes
No problem!
Doc :pimp:
Just substitute "temp sender for "Ground" in your case..Polarity is NOT an issue..and the fused side of the coil, need only be, 1 amp..
The LOW draw side will be the CONTROL wire side, (the coil)
Doc :pimp:
Got it!
Thanks, will do. This relay does not have the center lug (normally closed).
Will report results just for the record.
Done Deal!
Finished this pm. What a difference a little wire will make. Relay is under hood up front and only got as warm as the other non- engine things. Wires stayed cool. Happy camper. And thanks Doc!
Doc here, :pimp:
:thumbup: KEWL!! :thumbup:
Pun intended! :D :cool:
Thanks for posting back your success! Good to see Positive results..
So now your A FAN of Relays huh?? (OK, enough puns.. :drunk: :spank: )
Happy Crusin'

Thanks for the HOT LEAD on wiring. It gets a little CRIMPED under my hood. But I was a good SOLDER and did not complain.

Here's why the Museum of Flight's Space Shuttle Trainer exhibit, which opened Saturday, is so cool: This is the one and only full-scale mockup of the space shuttle orbiter astronauts used in training.
NASA built the trainer at Johnson Space Center in Houston during the 1970s and used it to train the astronauts in procedures like extra-vehicular activity, emergency egress, in-flight maintenance, stowage familiarity and housekeeping procedures. In other words, they got to practice how to squeeze seven astronauts into a sardine-can sized workplace and still get their jobs done.
The exterior of the120-foot-long, 19-foot-wide, 23.5-foot high trainer is made of a wood frame and plywood panels and replicates the shuttle in every way, minus the wings. Visitors to the exhibit can walk right up to the trainer, look up and see all the scratches and scuffs from three decades of astronauts egressing (or, in regular-person speak, jumping out of the window).
It has three main parts: the flight deck, mid-deck, and payload bay. All visitors can walk up the stairs (added for the exhibit) and get into the payload bay where they can peek through the airlock into the mid-deck.
Tour of the crew compartment
Starting Saturday, November 17 visitors can get an even closer look. On weekends, the museum will offer an exclusive tour of the Trainer crew compartment -- the flight deck and the mid-deck. The crew compartment is only 28.75 feet by 19 feet by 23 feet, and remember, that's for seven people for ten days. The entry is through a round door (you have to get on your knees to crawl through) and leads to the mid-deck where the crew spent their time, stowed their gear and equipment, prepared meals and took care of other, um, personal business (see photo below). A ladder leads to the flight deck where there are over two thousand buttons and switches, two seats and the windows.
The trainer was not used as a simulator, meaning the buttons don't do anything, but as a way for the astronauts to familiarize themselves with the psychical space and the limitations of the crowded quarters. Squeezing in there, looking through the small windows is a goosebump experience -- every crew in the space shuttle program spent time in that trainer. The tour includes an interactive robotics experience with a chance to try out the Canadarm, the mechanical arm used to maneuver payload in and out of the payload bay.
The Space Shuttle Trainer is not just an exhibit. It's an artifact that visitors can touch and climb inside, experiencing history first hand.
The exhibit is housed in the 15,500-square-foot Charles Simonyi Space Gallery at the Museum of Flight which also showcases the Soyuz TMA-14 spacecraft, Blue Origin's Charon flying vehicle, and other informational exhibits about astronaut training, the future of spaceflight and an exhibit commemorating the Challenger.

Re: Player inspect?!?!?-_-
I don't see a problem with it myself as i've always been able to find something I like if I see someone wearing it and if not these forums help help alot in helping to find certain items as well as asking others.
I've always told people where I got my items if they ask and for those who did'nt ,it would'nt be hard for them to find the items if they wanted them bad enough.
Just my opinion is all.

It's been requested by many in the community for quite some time actaullty. I don't see it as an issue personally and for all you know there might be a way to turn it off. I'm interested to see how well it works before really commenting further.

I "don't get" the problem some people have with this. Why would anyone care that another user can see where they got their clothing? I'm thankful I won't have to try to figure it out when someone asks or vice versa when I ask them. Hurray for this feature I say.
Re: Player inspect?!?!?-_-[ Edited ]
Well I guess the people who don't respond to those when asked where did you get that top and so on? I don't know. Definately seems to be in line with everything else in Home where you can inspect and find out what a particular item is.
I don't think you can do that with LMO's yet.
I'm happy to see the management team listening and implementing community requests. For those who want privacy I suppose they could implement a preference to turn it off. I don't see that as being necessary personally.

At least no-one has to ask me "How'd did you get that" anymore
I'm just curious how much information we are actually going to get for each item of clothing. After all we do wear a number of items and I wonder how much text they've devoted to the description of each.

Business Offers a Taste of Tiny Living By Associated Press • Nov 9, 2015 Inhabitat/Flickr Creative Commons http://bit.ly/1NEF8s9 More businesses are tapping into the tiny house trend, letting customers try out the downsized lifestyle before diving in. A company started by Harvard students is renting out houses of only 160 square feet in New Hampshire to give customers a test run of tiny living. Energy Efficiency Investment Slow to Catch On By Sam Evans-Brown • Jul 2, 2012 Flikr Creative Commons / GraySky A new report out from the New Hampshire Energy and Climate Collaborative finds that NH may not be doing enough to make homes more energy efficient. Three years ago Governor John Lynch put forth his climate action plan, a roadmap for how to reduce the states carbon emissions. Number one on the list of strategies: maximize energy efficiency in buildings. But getting homeowners to invest in efficiency has been harder than policymakers had hoped. A Waiting Game For Homeowners Trying To Sell Short Banks are often accused of dragging their feet when a homeowner wants to sell for less than the balance on the mortgage. A lot of those "short sales" might be better dubbed "really long and drawn out" sales. New federal guidelines, though, could now push lenders to approve short sales faster. Mixed Data on Housing Market By Todd Bookman • Mar 7, 2012 Photo by 'Images of Money' via Flickr Creative Commons New data from the New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority paints a mixed picture of the State's housing market. 288 New Hampshire homes slipped into foreclosure in January. That's a 22-percent decrease from the prior month, but still well above pre-recession levels. "It is not a case of 'bam', we wake up one morning and the foreclosure issue is gone," said Jane Law with NH Housing. She said the market is showing signs of a slow recovery.

During a recent TwitchTV live broadcast of Killer Instinct, Microsoft creative director Adam Isgreen and producer Torin Rettig shared a few new details about the upcoming Xbox One launch title.
If you're not digging the game's new announcer, the game's original commentator Chris Sutherland will also be selectable for nostalgia's sake. Not just dubbed over audio from the original games, Sutherland has also recorded a set of new tracks for Killer Instinct 2013.
In addition, classic character costumes will be available for players who are looking to keep things retro. This specific feature will likely be a part of the game's $40 Ultra Combo bundle that comes loaded with every bell and whistle the title has to offer.
Finally, Isgreen teased that the game might sport some familiar tunes from KI1 and KI2, so it sounds like Double Helix is really handling this cult classic with delicate hands.

49er Ray McDonald arrested for domestic violence
McDonald posted bail and was released Sunday
SAN JOSE, Calif. - San Francisco 49er Ray McDonald has been arrested on domestic violence charges. San Jose police say the 29-year-old defensive end was taken into custody early yesterday after officers responded to a home in an upscale neighborhood.
McDonald was jailed on felony domestic violence charges after the NFL just released it's new policy for players arrested for domestic violence cases. Santa Clara County sheriff's Sgt. Kurt Stenderup says McDonald was released after posting bail.
Police were called early Sunday to Mcdonald's home on a domestic violence call.
Several of Mcdonald's 49er teammates were reportedly at his house at the time of the arrest.
While McDonald has yet to formally respond to the charges, he has reportedly said that the truth will come out and that this is not the man he is.
The National Football League has just instituted a new domestic violence policy.
A first offense results in a six-game unpaid ban, a second offense could result in a lifetime ban from the league.
The 49ers' General Manager has released a statement saying the team is aware of the reports but won't comment further until it gathers all the facts in the case.

Methodology is Good!
Keywording can be described as a methodology or a process. I'll use the word process for this article. A good keyword process yields successful and predictable outcomes while maintaining relevancy and eliminating frustration. The better the process; the better the outcome.
The purpose of my article is to help guide your choices of which words should be chosen as keywords by showing you a process that has been working for me for many years. It's logical, intuitive and repeatable and doesn't cost anything other than a little bit of time and the use of some little gray cells, mostly left-brain ones.
It previously was my job as a Search Engine Optimist (SEO) to ensure that my clients' web sites placed hightly (within the top ten) for searches made using their most important keywords. I'm going to explain to you how to generate a 'vertical thinking' list of 'seed' keywords and a 'lateral thinking' list of expanded keywords, define what are literal and conceptual keywords, and show you what to do with everything.
Keywords are like roadsigns, they point the way to specific destinations. The more accurate they are, the quicker the user gets to his/her desired destination. Without accuracy and relevancy, the searcher spends wasted time looking at images they DON'T want to purchase. These people don't have time to waste because they frequently operate within time and budget constraints. They want what they need and they need what they want - now or, preferably, yesterday. So, the easier we make their job, the better the outcome for everyone: you, me, them and DT. Our job as photographers is to facilitate; not to frustrate. So, here we go.
There are two classes of keywords that describe our images - literal and conceptual. All literal and conceptual words will form your 'vertical thinking' list. Don't forget alternative ways of spelling same words.
Literal language refers to words that do not deviate from their defined meaning. They are the words that describe what we actually see. For example, you have a photo of a woman sitting on a stage on a red bench wearing a big hat playing a piano. Some literal keywords for this photo would be: 'woman' 'bench' 'hat' 'red' 'piano' 'stage' 'sitting'.

Emerson Electric Sinks 7% on Slowdown Fears
Shares of Emerson Electric (EMR), which makes industrial goods from climate controls to tools, are down 7% today.
Shares of Emerson Electric (EMR) have taken a 7% nosedive. The maker of industrial goods from controls to tools (market cap $37 billion) is a bellwether as the word slowdown creeps into parlance in unsettling ways, especially as politicos yammer about the U.S debt cap. St. Louis-based Emerson warned in a regulatory filing that it had "seen a definite weakening of general business activity in June and July." Emerson reports third-quarter fiscal 2011 results prior to market open on D-day: Tuesday, August 2.
Colleague Murray Coleman points out that Boeing (BA) beat expectations, which helped temper the downdraft in the Industrials Select Sector SPDR (XLI), which has traded down 2% today.
A handful of other industrial names in Emerson Electric's sphere are down more than 2%. Shares of Parker Hannifin (PH), a Cleveland maker of power systems and controls, are down 5%, and equipment makers Caterpillar (CAT) and Deere (DE) are down nearly 4% and nearly 2%, respectively. Shares of ABB (ABB) a Swiss electric equipment maker that trades on the NYSE (market cap $55 billion), is down more than 3%.
