Nikon Coolpix 5000
WHAT'S HOT: The Coolpix 5000 is a versatile, powerful 5-megapixel camera in a remarkably compact case. Though small enough to fit into a large field coat or pants pocket, it has nearly all the controls a serious photographer would look for. Thanks to its light weight and large right-handed grip, this unit is more comfortable to hold and operate than its 5-megapixel competitors.
Its overall appearance doesn't depart radically from that of other small, boxy digital cameras, but the 5000's look and layout are refreshingly new for a Coolpix. One distinctive change is the adaptable rotating color LCD panel. Fold it face-in to protect it from bumps and scratches. Pull it from the body, and it swings out horizontally 180 degrees (a bit like the fold-out viewfinders you see on digital video cameras). From there you can rotate the LCD up and over so that it faces the same direction as the lens (great for self-portraits) or down so that it faces the ground (useful for overhead shots). Spin the panel 180 degrees and fold it back into the camera, and the LCD faces out--as on a typical digital camera. The Coolpix 5000 is not the first camera to pull this trick--Canon's G1 and G2 got there first--but it's a valuable addition to Nikon's bag of tricks.
In most cases, we had no trouble changing the Coolpix 5000's settings. A good-size thumb dial on the top right corner of the camera lets you efficiently select an aperture or shutter speed; a button-and-dial combination steers you through the usual exposure controls (automatic, aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual). Using other buttons, you can quickly change frequently needed settings, such as focus mode, resolution, flash, and exposure value. A strategically placed button on the front of the camera, close to the lens, lets you quickly lock the exposure and focus for multiple shots--an extremely useful feature for shooting panoramas.
WHAT'S NOT: Our biggest gripe with the Coolpix 5000 is its hair-trigger shutter. You'll be glad that deleting unwanted shots is relatively easy because you're likely to take a bunch--especially at the start. Another flaw involves the small monochrome LCD status panel to the right of the optical viewfinder. In aperture- or shutter-priority modes, it lists the setting you've dialed in, such as the f-stop in aperture-priority mode, but not the reciprocal setting that the camera picks (the shutter speed, in the case of aperture priority). To get this often vital information, you have to turn on the color LCD display, which shortens battery life.
We wish the LCD were brighter, too: For properly framing close-ups you almost have to use the LCD. But when we tried taking outdoor wildflower shots in bright sunlight, we could barely see the image. And you can't attach the Coolpix 5000's lens cap unless the camera is turned off. That's inconvenient on damp or dusty shoots.
WHAT ELSE: In our standardized tests, the Coolpix 5000 earned an overall image quality score of very good. As you'd expect from this class of digital camera, the Coolpix produced sharp, detailed, and (for the most part) accurately exposed images. Our test prints had a little too much contrast, however, resulting in some loss of shadow details. We also noted some mottling in the blue sky of our test outdoor shot.
Taking informal shots, we created pleasing close-ups with bright colors and accurate focus. Impromptu flash photos of people were satisfactory, with relatively accurate skin tones and little flaring from the flash. On the other hand, scenic shots of our local green hills looked rather dull.
When we first picked up the Coolpix, its controls seemed unintuitive; but given some time, we adapted to them nicely. The buttons are small but functional, and reasonably well placed. You can hold the camera and change basic settings such as resolution, flash, and macro mode with one hand. Unfortunately, a few controls, are extremely awkward. Case in point: To set the focus manually, you have to hold the small auto-focus button down with your left thumb and spin the selector dial with your right thumb; there is just no comportable way to position your left hand during this operation.
The foldout LCD panel has three buttons embedded in its frame: One turns the LCD on and off, another pops up the menus, and a third lets you quickly review stored shots. When you view the LCD folded out, the buttons are at the top of the frame; in that position they're a bit difficult to use. With the LCD folded against the back of the camera, the buttons are situated at the bottom of the frame; and braced by the camera, they're easier to push.
Powered by a proprietary lithium-ion rechargeable battery, our Coolpix 5000 recorded an impressive 332 shots on one charge. The kit includes an external battery charger with an AC adapter. Unfortunately, the AC adapter cannot be used to power the camera directly (you have to buy a second, optional adapter), and if you're out in the field for an extended photo shoot, you'll likely want a second battery ($40 to $60). Options for the Coolpix 5000 include a solid selection of accessory lenses--among them, a fish-eye wide-angle lens.
Nikon bundles a fairly useful collection of software with the Coolpix 5000. Nikon's View 4 is a handy and simple utility for viewing and downloading images from your camera. The software CD-ROM we received also had a demo of Canto's sophisticated Cumulus 5.0 image management software, ArcSoft's Camera Suite 2000 (a capable image editing application) and Panorama Maker 2000, and Altamiura Group's popular Genuine Fractals 2.0 LE digital image enlarger. Given the sophistication of the Coolpix 5000's target buyer, Adobe's Elements or Photoshop LE would probably have been a more appropriate image-editing choice.
UPSHOT: A good bet for sophisticated photographers looking for a powerful, light digital camera, the Coolpix 5000 is a fine digital companion for people still attached to their 35mm film SLRs.

Fresh Manna

Have you ever gotten hit by a Doctor's hammer when having your reflexes checked? They hit you around the knee with that little hammer and your leg jerks. That's what a reflex will do. It will respond without any thought.
Do you ever react to things? A reaction is very much the same as a reflex. Something happens and you react without thinking. Once I was by a pool when a mother quickly jump into a pool with her clothes on because her toddler had fallen in. That was a good reaction. She pulled her child up immediately and the child was fine. Sometimes reactions are good. Sometimes they aren't.
There are times we react to situations rather than respond to them. We react too quickly without thinking and do or say the wrong thing. That was an area that I needed to learn to get under control quickly when my children were young. If they were disobedient after I had given them warnings, the temptation to react in anger instead of responding appropriately was my temptation. At that point in my life I had not matured in the management of my emotions. That could have opened the door for trouble. Of course I never wanted to deal with my children in anger. That's where regrettable yelling or screaming, wrongful spanking, or any kind of inappropriate behavior out of anger can happen. Renee and I developed strategies to avoid the temptation of intemperance in challenging moments.
When Renee and I were upset with each other, we also needed cool down periods. The best time to try to talk through misunderstanding was not at the time anger and emotions were rising. We learned over time to say, "Why don't we discuss this calmly latter." When we did that, we have much better results.
In the workplace, I've worked hard to force myself to not react to a negative situation, but instead, prayerfully think it through and deal with it later when I was calm and my thinking clear. Now I rarely stumble in this area. Mercy and grace in your heart toward others becomes much more abundantly when you pause and pray and let the Lord lead you in the best way to handle a situation.
Renee and I help each other to think through responding and not reacting to situations. Learning to keep your emotions under control and responding in an appropriate temperate way, is as critical to successful communication and more fruitful results as anything I can think of. By pausing and assessing a situation, you find that some situations should not be responded to at all. They are small, a mistake, and great mercy should be shown. Other situations that really bother you need to be assessed. Why did it happen? What can be done about it? What is the proper response? The Holy Spirit in you will lead you. God's Word has the wisdom to teach you how to be temperate in your responses. You will never truly mature to the degree that God intends you to until you learn to respond instead of react to situations in an appropriate way.
It's critical that we look to the Lord and draw patience from Him on purpose. 1 Cor 9:25 says, "And every man that strives to succeed is temperate in all things." Striving for temperance is a huge key to success. Refuse to fret. Don't let fret creep into your temperament. Instead seeks Gods help and trust Him for it. Develop strategies that protect you from reacting. With the help of God, stay in control!
In His Love,
Pastor Tim Burt

We all hear and read stories of terrible customer experiences; like me, you probably have had your own share of bad experiences. And social media has made it possible for these bad experiences to be shared instantly with millions of people. But in our journey through life, we also experience service that exceeds our expectations. And as we read reviews online, we're more likely to see a mixture of both good and bad experiences. For example, I recently posted a glowing review for a B&B in Bethel, ME, even though a few things about my stay would have typically caused me to deduct points. My five-star review was extremely positive because the proprietor had blown away my expectations on service, delivering an experience way beyond any I've had in a five-star hotel.
But excelling at the personal touch in a small-town B&B is far easier than doing it at scale in a multibillion-dollar business. Yet there are companies that consistently deliver great customer experiences. (My colleagues even wrote a book on them). They aren't perfect all the time, but, on average, they are better than their competitors. At Forrester, we identify these companies through our annual Customer Experience Index (CXi) research. Toward the top of the 2013 index, we find companies like Marshalls, Courtyard by Marriott, USAA, TD Bank, Southwest Airlines, Vanguard, Home Depot, Kohl's, Fidelity Investments, and FedEx.

Smart meters provide consumers with granular data on how they are consuming energy — when is the meter spinning fastest, which appliances are the energy guzzlers, how much energy are those idling appliances consuming? Programs to increase consumer awareness and shift demand to off-peak times abound. I delay the start of my dishwasher to after 11pm here in France to take advantage of off-peak tariffs. Most consumers, however, are not highly motivated by just knowing their own consumption. Good news: Opower, a provider of really smart energy solutions, has cracked the code.
The Opower solution draws on a study of how messages influence consumption. Turns out, if you tell people that they will save money by turning off their air conditioning and turning on a fan during peak hours they likely won't. Those are typically the times when it is really hot. Messages of "civic responsibility" and "saving the environment" also don't really register. However, when consumers are told that 75% of their neighbors will turn off their air conditioning and turn on a fan, behavior changes. That message had a 6% drop in consumption. Opower now uses these types of comparisons in all of their offerings.

The Renaissance was possible because of dissemination of ideas from the later 15th century. The availability of paper and the subsequent invention of the printing press in 1445 forever changed the lives of people in Europe and, eventually, all over the world. Previously, bookmaking entailed copying all the words and illustrations by hand, often onto parchment or animal skin. The labor that went into creating books made each one very expensive to make and acquire. The advent of the printing press helped produce books better, faster, and cheaper and led to disruptive cultural revolution.
We are experiencing a very similar phenomenon today. We are in the midst of digital disruption. The printing press of our time is platforms such as social, mobile, cloud and analytics that help propagate value to our customers better, faster and more cheaply than previously available options. So whether you are on board or not, this disruption is taking place; the two choices you have are: become a disruptive CIO or be disrupted.

Blown fuse for power outlet
I noticed the power port under the hvac stopped working along with my radio amp and backup camera, I looked behind the center bezel and found that the backup camera and the radio amp acc wire was tapped into the power port, I don't know why the fuse blew, but i replaced it with a 30 amp instead of 25 and everything's working again. I did install the lockpick the other day, maybe I touched some wires or something??:(
Re: Blown fuse for power outlet
Personally, I would stick with the 25A fuse.
Re: Blown fuse for power outlet
I didn't have a 25 amp so im using the 30 temporarily, going to get a package of fuses sometime today.
Re: Blown fuse for power outlet
replaced fuse with correct amp, i didnt know that each power outlet had their own fuse, i was thinking that was a single fuse for both accessory and switched plugs.

Former County Hospital Worker Arrested For Embezzlement
Crystal Howard, 35, Accused Of Stealing Auxillary Funds
MORENO VALLEY, Calif. - A former employee at the Riverside County Regional Medical Center was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of burglary and embezzling from the county hospital auxiliary.
Crystal Howard, 35, of Moreno Valley, was arrested after hospital officials notified the Riverside County Sheriff?s Department about concerns regarding the auxiliary?s funds, said Sgt. David Knudson.
?We contacted the sheriff?s department when we suspected there was an issue,? said Ellie Bennett, the hospital?s chief operating officer. Hospital officials are continuing to cooperate with the investigators.
Howard had worked at the hospital for 14 years.
After being served with a termination notice, she resigned June 15 from her executive assistant position.
Over the next several weeks, investigators conducted interviews and obtained evidence related to the allegations.
Investigators said they learned Howard had stolen money from the auxiliary fund and had made unauthorized purchases at numerous locations throughout Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
Bennett stressed she could not comment specifically about the case but said anyone who violates the law must face the consequences.
?There is no room in our organization for anyone who would abuse a position of trust or misappropriate funds,? she said.
Howard was later booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center for burglary and embezzlement.

Whilst the Main Event is getting ever closer to a conclusion, there have been a number of other side events taking place, helping to provide some of the players that were eliminated from the big one with some top quality poker action.
It can sometimes be easy for these events to get passed over whilst the bigger and more lucrative events are being played out. This is why we are trying to pick out some of the better events to bring updates on.
This particular event at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure was one of the bigger side events of the series, with the $5,300 buy-in attracting many of the world's most successful players. There were 72 in total with names such as Ramzi Jelassi, Will Failla, Andrew Chen and the most decorated man in poker Phil Hellmuth all fancying a piece of the action. Those players generated a prize pool of $349,200 with the largest share of $122,220 going to the player who managed to take down the victory.
In fact all of those players made the money, with Hellmuth hitting 4th for a payout of $33,180, Chen going one better in third for $45,400, Jelassi in sixth for $17,460 and Failla in eighth for $13,960. Certainly not bad results for each of them, though they will still feel a little disappointed at not winning the event outright. However, they have all made significant profits on their original buy-ins, so they shouldn't scoff at that.
The player that won the event was Henrik Eide from Sweden, who took down $122,220 after defeating the American pro Michael Swimelar heads up. He will be delighted with his performance, especially considering the quality that was in the field yesterday.
How It Finished!
Henrik Eide – $122,220
Michael Swimelar – $76,820
Andrew Chen – $45,400
Phil Hellmuth – $33,180
Alexey Makarov – $24,440
Ramzi Jelassi – $17,460
Michell Linares – $15,720
Will Failla – $13,960
We will be bringing as many reports on side events at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure as possible, whilst we also obviously keep our eyes on the Main Event. So if you like to keep up to date with more than just the bigger events, you certainly know where to come.
The PCA is now getting the latter parts of the series, though there are still plenty of events coming up to keep us all interested. The PCA has certainly quenched our thirst for poker in January, especially after all of the Christmas and New Years festivities.

Coilover settings question
i plan to get a set of SAGE coilover, taiwan product, seems ok for the price.
they have 32 clicks settings for the hardness of the shocks. I am wondering, i want a more aggressive cornering, how many clicks should i set the front and the rear?
some told me front 18, rear 16.
well.. to be honest. i am confused of what those clicks are for.
also, the reason why i change a set of coilovers is because my setting right now is very bad. It doesnt hold corners much at the rear. and when i am on highway, the car keep going left and right. its seems out of control.
will changing the suspension solve my problem???
and have anyone heard of SAGE, or ruff coilover before. should be better product then the raceland. haha
^ +1
I would check your suspension bushings before investing in a new suspension/coilover setup. You might end up investing money in the wrong parts and have the same stability issues.
The first thing that comes to mind regarding your stability issues are control arm bushings.
the steering guibo?
Alighnment? Your coilovers that you have now is most likely good. Check your bushings and control arms if they are bent or whatever. Most likely not your suspension.
Sent from my iPhone using BimmerApp
Thank you all for ur help. I have finally solve my problem I believe. I did a full tune for my camber and toe in . Find out my camber was off like he'll. Front is +3, + 1. rear +6, +1 for the toe in. And now my car is back to life and it hold like a train. Haha

Decision Time
Sometimes, you decide the past just isn't worth keeping. That's when it's time for a quality shredder. You don't want it coming back to haunt you later, right?
Snip! There went the movie ticket. Snip! There went the romantic Post-It Note. Snip! There went that little hand-written playlist that went with the MP3 mix he'd emailed her. Snip! Snip! Snip! Danielle's Shredz 11-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper Shredder was getting quite the work-out today.
Naturally, the sound of the Shredz 11-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper Shredder wasn't Snip! at all, it was more like Vrrztshuck! or pfst pfst pfst. But Danielle just liked to imagine the Snip! every time she dropped something into the shredder. It just felt more final.
And final was what she wanted. That's why she needed something that could hold five gallons, and shred paper, plastic, CDs and DVDs. Gone was that copy of "Eastbound And Down" she'd now never watch. Gone was the copy of "Simply Red's Greatest Hits" he'd given her because he knew she liked Mick Hucknall's soulful Irish voice. The fact that she DID like it was completely meaningless. Snip! Snip! Snip!
The auto start/stop function meant Danielle barely even had to pay attention to what she was shredding, and that made it super easy. Later in the day, she'd take all the shred to the trash can downstairs and throw them out like they were NYC police documents. And then, she'd come home, flop on her bed, and send out the text she should have sent ages ago.
Sorry about the other day. Want to come over? I'm all yours.

9Marks just released its new eJournal on helping young pastors. I highly commend it to you–it looks very, very helpful.
I had a thought on this topic. It strikes me that young pastors, which I hope will one day include me, need to emulate our leaders and heroes, but only to a point. We need to proceed with care and caution in a way that men with outsize personalities and gifts do not, in many cases.
If you don't have Mark Dever's pastoral gifts, don't purge your church rolls right away. Be careful. Build goodwill and trust. Don't think that just because Capitol Hill Baptist or Bethlehem Baptist or Mars Hill did something one way, that that is the only way to make change and growth happen. The Lord works, but He generally works through personalities, all of which are different. Knowing that might save a lot of us young guys a lot of needless heartbreak.
Everyone rightly fears the intramural basketball player who has the self-conception of Michael Jordan but the talent level of the waterboy. So too do lay Christians rightly have concerns about the guy who thinks he's John MacArthur but who, in God's providence, is not.
There is tremendous and way underappreciated good in self-awareness. Self-awareness is not in style right now. Self-promotion is. Self-deception, painfully, seems to be as well. In a highly modifiable world, we're all celebrities, we're all noteworthy, we're all talented, we're all beautiful, we're all deep thinkers, and we're all worthy of lots of attention. Most of this is not true, and this pattern of thinking harms us greatly as we prepare for our callings.
So we need to ground our identities not in Facebook profiles or Myspace images, but in Jesus Christ, who has made us new beings, who has literally redefined every atom of our metaphysical and existential existence. Then, we need to take a good long look at ourselves, an honest, humble look, and assess where our gifts and strengths lie. How much do people naturally follow us? What is our best style of leadership given our personalities? How can we contribute to kingdom work?
This kind of sober self-analysis, which comprehends the best of our strengths and the worst of our flaws, will set us up well to live, firstly, and to minister, secondly. It will help us to realize what we should set out to accomplish, even as we remember that our God can do far, far more than we might initially think.
So that would help, I think, a lot of young guns who set out to be the next big thing. That, and not talking like their hero. How many guys do you run across who actually adopt the speech patterns of their heroes, and never realize it? Yikes. For such folks, copious amounts of self-awareness are recommended.
Don't talk like someone else. Be yourself. Young would-be pastor, look yourself in the mirror in the morning before you start the day and gently intone these words: Dude, you're not Mark Driscoll.

Mourinho says he will leave Chelsea if the players want
"They need to feel luck, they need to arrive at half-time winning 2-0, 3-0. Ask them.
"If they tell you they don't trust me, that is the only thing that can make me resign. I don't know next match, in two matches, in three. It makes me realize how big I was, how big I am.
"When you win and you win titles and you are champion, life is easy. The players at the table."
Mourinho also claimed he is enjoying some aspects of what he has called the worst run of his managerial career.
"It makes me understand how big a guy I am," he said. The only thing. It's easy to be what you are.
"In this moment it's not so easy and my feelings – I'm so unhappy with the m88 sport feeling of defeat but I am so happy with myself with the way I am facing this."
And after citing the decisions of referees, the players' lack of confidence and a series of individual mistakes as contributing factors in Chelsea's predicament, Mourinho is now relying on the intervention of "Mother Nature".
"Only Mother Nature can do it," he said.
Jose Mourinho says he will only walk away from Chelsea if the club's players tell him he is no longer wanted.
Saturday's home defeat to Southampton was the champions' fourth in eight Premier League games and sparked an astonishing seven-minute monologue from Mourinho on Sky Sports after the game.
Among a string of accusations and explanations he said Chelsea would have to "sack the best manager in their history" to get him to leave Stamford Bridge.
But as the dust settled Mourinho tempered that claim slightly, in a clear answer to those suggesting tension between the manager and some of his playing staff.
"People can say what they want. They need it. But not fake sources. For sure they will get that confidence back, for sure."
. It's easy to be proud. I'm not crying, I'm not desperate. I think you should go straight to the players," said Mourinho, who has received the public backing of John Terry.
"Get a table at Cobham next week – John Terry doesn't go to the national team, Diego Costa doesn't go, Ramires doesn't go. "I am not afraid. They need to fly without pressure, they need to play and feel that everything is going in their favor.
"Not to feel this pressure, this panic, this negativity. Decisions against, unlucky, mistakes. Time will bring it

There's a sense of largesse to Adelaide. The state capital of South Australia was the first in the country to grant votes to women, the first to appoint an Aboriginal governor and also a woman governor. Pioneered by free settlers, the city promoted religious freedom and refused to use convict labour.
With its elegant stone buildings, squares and formal parklands, it reminded me of Edinburgh. But with considerably better weather. In summer temperatures can soar to 40 degrees, with big blue skies.
It's no surprise that Adelaide has been voted the fifth most liveable city in the world (by The Economist magazine). Less self-consciously cool than Sydney and Melbourne, there's a sense of peace and space: Adelaide's population is just 1.25 million.
The city has a real sense of civic pride which dates back to its impressive 19th- century roots, displayed in grand architecture such as the neoclassical masonic hall and the impressive palm house in the Botanic Gardens. Designed on a grid system, it's very easy to navigate.
A 20-minute tram or car ride from central Adelaide will take you to virtually empty golden beaches, dotted with palm trees, in the seaside suburbs at Brighton and Glenelg. Here you can surf or swim with the dolphins.
There's also a thriving arts scene. The Adelaide Festival runs from February 28 until March 16 and attracts artists from rockers Nick Cave and Snow Patrol to ballet dancer Sylvie Guillem (new artistic director David Sefton, who founded Meltdown at London's South Bank, has an enviable contacts book). The theme of this year's festival is South Australian history and also features composer John Zorn, Wild Swans author Jung Chang and New York artist Matthew Barney (aka Mr Bjork).
Elder Park, the public open space which runs along the southern bank of the River Torrens, is a giant festival catwalk. At last year's event I saw Laurie Anderson perform in the Adelaide Festival Centre, a startling example of Seventies modernism with three sloping unadorned geometric roofs, near the banks of the river.
And don't miss the festival's green room — on the Torrens riverbank, Lola's Pergola is a stunning supersized shady pergola.
World music festival Womadelaide takes over the Botanic Park in early March but the hottest news is that Barry Humphries, who has just retired as Dame Edna Everage, has been announced as the artistic director of the 2015 Adelaide Cabaret Festival. On the North Terrace, the cultural boulevard that runs east-west along the northern edge of the Central Business District, you'll find the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum (home to the largest collection of Aboriginal artefacts in Australia), and the Botanic Gardens, a truly magical place with tropical planting and a Sacred Lotus Pond.
Thanks to its diverse cultural mix, Adelaide has world-class restaurants. Rundle Street in the cosmopolitan East End district is famous for eclectic bars, restaurants, cafés and historic pubs. It's a great place for al fresco dining.
One night I had traditional Greek meze at the Eros Kafe (flaming cheese saganaki, moussaka and their trademark Greek savoury pastry, spanakopitta). The next, spicy salt and pepper squid at Asian restaurant, Chopstix. The strip is home to fashion stores such as Sass & Bide, Alannah Hill and Zimmerman and the lanes off Rundle Street, such as Ebenezer Place and Vardon Avenue, have some of Adelaide's grooviest little shops. Foodies love to explore the city's 140-year-old Central Market. Nearly all produce comes from within a 200km radius of the city.
Adelaide's five-star hotels include the Crowne Plaza on Hindmarsh Square, where the fashion pack stay. But if you want to sleep in a place with a history, you can't beat the Adina Apartment Hotel. Located on Flinders Street, the 169-year-old Treasury building is now a five-star apartment hotel following a $20 million restoration of the original Florentine Palazzi architecture.
The one and two-bedroom apartments, beautifully decorated in bold primary colours, have a fully equipped kitchen and laundry and separate lounge/dining/work area.
It's like staying in your own private flat. There are in-room movies and a stereo CD player. You also have access to a gym, heated indoor pool, restaurant and a lovely courtyard garden.
You can take also a guided tour through the original underground tunnels of the old Treasury Building used for the secure transport of gold. But will someone please persuade hotels in Adelaide to embrace free wi-fi?
There are free city bikes. Or you can hire a car and drive into the Adelaide Hills. As you travel further inland the landscape becomes wilder and more remote. Cleland Wildlife Park, nestled in the natural bush land setting, offers you the opportunity to wander among kangaroos, wallabies and koalas.
Don't miss Hahndorf, Australia's oldest surviving German settlement, founded in the 19th century by Prussian settlers fleeing persecution. A few miles away is The Cedars, the beautiful Arts and Crafts house and studio of the late Australian landscape artist Sir Hans Heysen. Set in a rambling cottage garden, it's like a stage set with antique furniture, Persian carpets, rare books and oriental artefacts.
Adelaide is also close to great wine-producing areas such as the Barossa Valley, where there are more than 90 wine labels and more than 50 cellar doors. On my final night I took a taxi ride up to Windy Point restaurant, famous for its full-length 180-degree windows overlooking the Adelaide Hills.
Australia isn't always kind to veggies but the amazing food includes vegan and gluten-free dishes. I started with Coffin Bay oysters with zingy Bloody Mary sorbet, followed by melt-in-the-mouth mustard and dill crêpes with goat chevre, lemon thyme and confit shallot. Dessert — the aptly named Celebration of Strawberries — was a sculptural marvel, a heady mix of parfait, jelly, meringue, compote and syrup.
Watching the sunset turn blood red over the Adelaide Hills was like being in my very own film.

Carven 'Le Parfum' eau de parfum
Item No.1177049900
Item No.1177049900
Simplicity, freshness, captivating charm and a couture spirit make this a fragrance which encapsulates the energy of Carven fashion. As the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian quotes, 'I wanted to play with the Carven values in a feminine mode- timeless elegance that also seems absolutely effortless. I wanted a fragrance that would resemble a huge bouquet of freshly cut flowers with temperament and a lingering sillage'. It opens with the spontaneity of mandarin blossom combined with the delicacy of white hyacinth. The heart is a somewhat impertinent floral bouquet composed with devilish cunning built around sweet pea, jasmine and ylang ylang. The sensuous bottom notes are precious and woody i.e. white sandalwood, osmanthus and Indonesian patchouli. Carven 'Le Parfum' is a fragrance that will leave its mark in the family of the great florals. It is an ethereal and feminine eau de parfum with the subtle signature of sweet pea.

Team preview: Howard
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2004-05 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
MEAC teams had better watch out for Howard this season.
Frankie Allen's Bisons were the unluckiest team in the league last season. Howard finished with a 6-22 record, but was so close to being a lot better.
The Bison lost 11 games by six points or less. Six times they lost on the final possession. All the close losses added up to a 4-14 league record and 10th-place finish.
The season ended in the first round of the MEAC Tournament with a fitting 60-59 loss to Morgan State. The Bears hit two free throws with 6.8 seconds left to win the game.
To Allen's credit, a 6-22 record was disappointing for Howard. A few years earlier, a 6-22 record might have gotten Allen elected mayor of Washington, D.C.
The veteran coach, who served as the head man at Virginia Tech and Tennessee State before coming to Howard, inherited one of the worst programs in America when he took over four years ago. It was a program that won four games in three years with three coaches during that time.
During his tenure with the Bison, Howard has already gotten to the MEAC title game once and showed remarkable improvement. Allen has put last year's misfortunes behind him and is ready for the 2004-05 season.
"Last year was tough with so many close losses and some of them were really bizarre,'' Allen said. "However, we're looking forward to this season. We've got most of our team back and have some new guys who can help us.''

text: The grip on dry Tarmac is phenomenal. Surprisingly, on wet roads it's nearly as good. The tail will swing out if provoked but not through a lack of adhesion. WI am pressed to think of another car with such tenacious road-holding on dodgy surfaces, while the steering and anti-lock brakes get top marks. The marvellous chassis is complemented superbly by the 335bhp24-valve supercharged straight-six engine. The DB certainly sounds like it means business, but when it came to obtaining our standing start acceleration times I had a little difficulty because the DB7 seems to have so much grip that its rear wheels won't spin. As a result, severe axle tramp hampered hard acceleration at the track. In addition to a gruff straight-six growl there's a slightly menacing whining from the blower which increases in pitch and ferocity as the engine speed rises. Thick carpet and warm-smelling Connolly hide make the interior a delightful place and even the Ford switchgear seems to blend in OK. In the back seats things are pretty cramped, just as in every DB Aston. A couple of kids will fit in but they might not like it because the front seat backs rise so high that forward vision would be totally obscured.

Determining Fertility of Eggs-"Candling Eggs"
I just thought these instructions might help since it is baby season in many areas.
Remember that cell division in a fertile egg does not begin until brooding starts. There is no actual life in the egg until incubation. Therefore if you don't plan on hatching any babies, be sure to throw the eggs out before incubation begins.
After 5 to 7 days of brooding, the eggs should be inspected to see if they are fertile.
Carefully remove the eggs from the nest, DO NOT shake or move abruptly in any manner. Don't try to carry them both in one hand as you may drop them. I usually wrap the eggs gently in a papertowel, each seperately and bring them in, inside a basket.
If you have never candled an egg before, ask someone to help hold the egg to avoid any accident.
Go into a dark room without windows or closet. Be sure to have the lights on so you can see what you are doing.
Next, you can either hold the egg, inside a hole cut in a piece of cardboard, or encircle the egg with your fingers while holding it. If you don't feel comfortable doing this for fear you might drop it, please seek assistance. I usually encircle the egg with my fingers as I hold it, and hold the flashlight in the other hand, but I'm very comfortable with doing this as I have done this numerous times.
Turn a bright light on behind the egg, a flashlight will do. Turn off the light in the closet, or whatever dark room you have.
If the egg is fertile, you should see an embryo, which looks like a small dark shadowy circle in one area of the egg, and/or you can actually see blood vessels thru the thin shell.
Be sure to put the eggs back as soon as possible, if fertile.
Do not try this too many days later (after the 5th to 7th day), as a growing embryo may not be visible anymore. The egg may appear to be clear, but it could be the embryo taking up more room in the egg, and the blood vessels nor small embryo will not be visible with flashlight.
If you are not sure if the egg is viable or not, I would put it back under the hen just in case.
Incubation (from the onset of brooding) is 14 to 18 days depending on the weather. It has been my experience that eggs usually hatch around the 18th day.
If the egg doesn't hatch on the 18th day please don't throw out, allow the hen to incubate a few more days,it does not necessarily mean the egg is not fertile. It has been my experience that eggs are fertile 9 times out of 10. Sometimes the egg will look dark or an odd color, which can be normal and doesn't mean the baby has died or the egg is rotten. Give the egg the benefit of the doubt and allow the hen to incubate a few more days.
The egg is probably not fertile if it doesn't hatch after the extra days given, or embryo died. Some hens will push the egg out of the nest, as they seem to sense these things. If the egg smells rotten ( the embryo died), or if you see fluid moving about (egg not viable) when you hold it up to a light, then those are good inidcators the egg will not hatch.
You should see tiny little eruptions or openings in the eggs when the baby is hatching, that is called "pipping". The baby is actually beginning to crack or break the egg by chipping at it with its egg tooth. You may think initially the egg has a crack in it, but it is probably the baby pipping out of the shell. This is around the 18th day. The baby will twist and turn in the shell and use its egg tooth to break out of the shell. The egg tooth is on top of the beak of hatchlings, it is a horn-like projection that enables chicks to break open the shell. A few days after hatching the egg tooth is absorbed and no longer visible.
From the first pecking of the shell to complete hatching can take anywhere from 15 to 30 hours. Within a few hours of hatchlings drying out, they receive their first meal of "pigeon milk" from the parents.

Thanks Treesa
Just to add some visuals to this great information, here are a few sites that show how to candle eggs and what you're looking for when you do.
Here is a link to a post that armin369 provided with excellent pixtures of an egg hatching and one starting to pip.

There may be some hand-wringing about the ROI of social media marketing, but brand posts apparently can be a powerful influence in consumer purchase decisions, finds Market Force in a survey of 12,000 consumers in the US and UK to be released later this week. 78% of the US respondents reported that posts by retail, restaurant, travel, entertainment, and financial services businesses they follow on social media have had a moderate to highly influential effect on their purchase decisions. This was close to the proportion (81%) who said that their friends' posts influence their decisions. Posts from friends are also a way for 3 in 5 US respondents to gather information or opinions about restaurants and retailers. This finding comes on the heels of a March 2012 report from Sociable Labs, which found that 1 in 4 online shoppers, who shop at least quarterly online and login to their Facebook account at least monthly, have made a purchase based on a social recommendation.
Data from the study indicates that 76% of US respondents regularly like the Facebook page of restaurant, retail, travel, entertainment, and financial services businesses. The chief reason for doing so is to take advantage of discounts and other incentives (79%), followed by seeing details on sales and events (70%). 28% said they like sharing their favorite things with friends.
According to December 2011 survey results from the CMO Council, the top reasons cited by consumers for liking brands on Facebook were: being loyal customers (49%); wanting to track brand news (46%); looking for incentives or rewards for engaging with the brand (46%); and looking for special savings or events (43%).

Kentucky Derby Under the Radar: Proud Strike
After last week's races featuring Verrazano, Flashback, Revolutionary, and Falling Sky, one can feel the excitement building as it pertains to the Kentucky Derby. In this space, over the next several weeks, we'll spotlight one promising 3-year-old that has yet to garner much press.
Bob Baffert and Todd Pletcher have dominated the Derby landscape thus far in 2013, but you can never count out a Steve Asmussen-trained performer, especially one that is moving forward with each race.
Proud Strike was foaled on April 8, 2010, in Virginia. Bred by the late Ned Evans, Proud Strike was purchased by Mike McCarty for $240,000 at the 2011 Keeneland September yearling auction.
The bay colt is a full brother to Pleasant Strike, winner of the Grade 3 Arlington Classic Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on turf. Another full brother, Curlinello, was multiple stakes placed at one mile as a juvenile of 2010 before injury cut short his promising career. A half-sister, Colonial Empress, finished a well-beaten third in the Grade 3 Honeybee Stakes at 1 1/16 miles.
[ROAD TO THE KENTUCKY DERBY: Prep races, point standings, replays]
Their dam, Colonella (by Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Pleasant Colony), graduated at a mile and is a full sister to Colonial Minstrel who took the Grade 2 Shuvee Handicap at eight furlongs. Colonella is also a half-sister to Grade 3 sprint winner Minidar (dam of Jim Dandy Stakes winner A Little Warm) and multiple stakes winner Unrestrained.
The second dam, Minstrella (by The Minstrel), a juvenile filly of 1986, scored in three Group 1 races on grass in Europe that year. She is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Misty Gallore.
Proud Strike's sire, Smart Strike, prevailed in 6 of 8 starts, all for trainer Mark Frostad. Victorious at distances ranging from seven furlongs to 1 1/16 miles, Smart Strike received Beyer Speed Figures of 107 or higher in five races, including a score over the legendary race mare Serena's Song in the Grade 1 Philip H. Iselin Handicap at Monmouth.
A two-time North American champion stallion by earnings (2007-08), Smart Strike is represented by Curlin, winner of the Preakness Stakes, Dubai World Cup, and Breeders' Cup Classic among his seven Grade 1 tallies. Other Grade 1 winners sired by Smart Strike include Breeders' Cup Turf victor English Channel, Preakness hero Lookin At Lucky, and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies champion My Miss Aurelia. When "nicked" with mares by Pleasant Colony, Smart Strike has sired Shoal Water, a Grade 2 winner going 1 3/8 miles on turf in Canada.
Proud Strike made his debut in a very live maiden special weight going seven furlongs at Churchill Downs on Oct. 28, 2012. After being forced out a bit in the early stages, Proud Strike raced in midpack and behind horses before passing a few tired runners in the stretch. Four emerged from that race to graduate next out, and the winner, Titletown Five, recently resumed workouts for trainer D. Wayne Lukas after undergoing surgery to remove a knee chip. All in all, it was a solid learning experience.
On Nov. 24, Asmussen stretched Proud Strike around two turns for a maiden special weight at Churchill, and the colt responded with an improved performance. Bumped lightly at the start, Proud Strike showed more early interest and ended up tracking the pace while in between horses. He made a three-wide bid turning for home and finished evenly for second behind Bradester, the runner-up in Proud Strike's debut. The final time of 1:44.56 for the 1 1/16-mile distance compared favorably with the 1:44.97 put up by Uncaptured in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at the distance later on the same card. Bradester returned to win an entry-level optional claimer at Gulfstream with a 93 Beyer on New Year's Day.
Proud Strike made his 3-year-old debut as a main-track-only entrant in an off-the-turf maiden special weight going 1 1/16 miles at Fair Grounds on Jan. 12. Sent off the 9-10 favorite under jockey Brian Hernandez Jr., Proud Strike broke from the outside post in the field of 10 and assumed a three-wide stalking spot on the far turn. Proud Strike continued on that path until engaging the front-runners turning into the stretch. At that juncture, he made the lead without much fuss and widened to win by 7 1/2 lengths while drifting in noticeably. The well-beaten fourth-place finisher, Doc Almond, returned to win sprinting at Fair Grounds with an 81 Beyer.
Proud Strike has already answered the two-turn question, owns decent tactical speed, changes leads nicely, and his Beyers have lurched forward from 57 to 74 to 91. He still seems a bit green in spots and has had trouble keeping a straight path in the stretch in his last two races. Also, the quality of that off-the-turf race will certainly be debated. Still, Proud Strike has the pedigree and connections to be a nice horse and he looks stakes-bound.
Tiz the Truth !.................lets hope he gets the points ! His race on Sat was ultra impressive, but if you go watch his previous race, breaks slow from the 2box, long extended run into the far turn, inside and forces the even money favorite to a 1/2 length. I think Gary Stevens has his Derby horse !
i dont understand why asmussen doesnt learn from his past history with his derby contenders. his best results were with nehro. nehro only made one start as a 2 year old. he took the training duties from helen pitts with curlin. curlin did not start his career until february of his 3 year old season. if you have 2 starts as a 2 year old, make sure they have at least an 11 week layoff after that. keep the lasix away from your youngsters when they are growing.
He looked good; the race was slow; he's got a long way to go.
Not sure if alot of people knew, but Tiz the Truth had been working in company with Fed Biz and looking best in the works, all the hype was on Flashback, watch Tiz the Truth sneak in the back door . I know Baffert mentioned he would separate them and send them to different tracks. You knew Tiz the Truth was something when he was bet to fav in his maiden race in a field that ended up being full of monsters !
And don't forget Gary Steven's "Derby Horse" Tiz the Truth.
Always in a Tiz and Belvin under the radar for me
Under the radar horse for me, War Academy. I will also add Super Ninety Nine is flying under the radar with a very impressive allowance win.

When I did my CPM training at MLL in El Paso (7 years ago, I've been at home with the kids ever since, so not terribly up on changes to legislature), we considered full term to be 36 weeks, even a day before and we would have to transfer care. I know we had to play very by the book or we would lose the only doctor back-up we had available for the center.
So it was with surprise that I heard from my midwife here in Houston that 37 weeks is the state law. I know state by state varies (and of course some midwives may not choose to follow the state law, ie; may feel more comfortable not birthing at home that early) but I'm having trouble finding online what's "on the books" as legal for attending homebirth in the state of Texas.
Can anyone clear this up for me?
Thank you!
The short version is that the rules have been somewhat fuzzy on 36 vs 37 weeks, but in the upcoming rule revision one of the changes is to clarify that 37 weeks is the lower limit.

Date of Stay: August, 2011
We love this campground! This is our 5th stay at this campground. Great location for enjoying the beach and ocean. Clean pool. Great area for the kids to ride their bikes. Most recent stay was with 9 other families. We all had a blast and have already booked our sites for next summer.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This was the last stop on our summer road trip and was by far the worst campground. The sites were small and narrow. We felt like we were crammed in like sardines. The campground is not that large and given that they have over 500 sites should paint a clear picture to everyone. People around us had small fires burning all day which left a smokey haze in the air. The beach was dirty and full of trash. My kids did not even want to swim in Lake Erie. It was not at all what I expected from a state park. I would never stay at this campground again.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This was a very nice state park. We only stayed one night on our way home and wished we could have stayed longer. We had a smaller site, but friends we were with had a large site with a concrete pad. Many hiking trails and within walking distance to the lake/beach. The beach was beautiful and very clean. We would stay again if in the area.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This was the first park I have been to where you chose your own sites. The area we were in was little more open than I would have liked. Sort of felt like we were parked in a parking lot. The beach area is great! The kids loved swimming in the lake. Beach was very clean. The area hiking trails were also very nice. We stayed only one night on our way to Nashville. If we were in the area again, I would stay again.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This is an excellent campground!! We stayed here for three nights while we visited the Nashville area. The campground is approx. 12 miles outside of downtown Nashville. We had a large, level site with just the right amount of shade. We were across from the playground and beach area which was perfect for the kids. It was very hot while we were there and we took advantage of the lake for some evening swims before bed. If we ever travel back to this area, I would love to stay here again. One of the best campgrounds for the price we have stayed at.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
We pulled in during the pouring rain past dark which made backing into our site difficult, but we made it work. We were unable to get close enough to use the sewer, even though available on the site. Great beach area. We kayaked down the Saco river with a large group of friends. We have our own bathroom, so it does not affect us, but there is only one bathhouse which meant a long walk in the middle of the night for many in our group. Overall good campground, great if you are planning to utilize the river for kayaking or canoeing. We will be back next summer.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
This is a great little campground. Our site was right next to the brook. The kids had a blast walking on the rocks near the brook. The site was good size, level and with just the right amount of shading. The campground has a great field as you enter which is perfect for playing a variety of sports. This was our second stay here and we look forward to staying again.

1990s photography hero Ewen Spencer on his favourite music video by R.E.M
Happy-go-lucky party animal Ewen Spencer is responsible for taking some of the most nostalgic series of photographs of partying we've ever come across. He made it his business to attend every underground rave or "it" place to be for the last 20 years or so, and has subsequently given much pleasure to members of the public who, for one reason or another, struggle to remember exactly what these places were actually like. As something of a hero of subculture, we were keen to ask Ewen about his favourite music video. It's not a rare grime track or a blurry UK hip hop banger, it's actually just a really lovely song by R.E.M.
Ewen Spencer: R.E.M – It's The End of the World
R.E.M's Michael Stipe was one of director James Herbert's students at the University of Georgia during the early 1980s. Latterly, Herbert retired from his professorship in Georgia and moved to Brooklyn to focus on his Neo-Expressionist painting. His role at the university allowed him access to the burgeoning music scene of Athens, Georgia. Throughout the 1980s he made many music videos for R.E.M and the B52's at a time when the music video carried a significant clout in reaching millions of young people around the world watching MTV.
I'm not a huge R.E.M fan. I remember them being played at the Riverside nightclub in Newcastle on a regular Friday alternative/indie night. One lasting memory was the surprise at seeing various kids I knew as both Newcastle AND Sunderland football casuals dancing to one of their tunes called You Can't Get There From Here. It seemed to be a favourite? It was quite peculiar that they would even be in the same building with out things kicking off normally, let alone taking to a shared dance floor.
James Herbert made around ten videos for R.E.M. His films often rely on American iconography in a critical sense. With this particular film I love the recall of feral youth; the sense of exploration and adventure building into long days. The rummaging around through the found belongings on the floor of this abandoned house echoes the babbling stream of lyrics as if the searching were a mini world adventure within the larger adventure of the protagonist's adolescence. Brilliantly seen and superbly captured, occasionally I look back at videos like this and wonder how much influence they've had aesthetically on my own photography and filmmaking. Still not sure about R.E.M though.

96 SLS sometimes hard to start
I posted this once before to no responses, so I'm trying again. The car sometimes, probably 75% of the time, cranks 5-10 seconds before starting. The rest of the time, it starts just perfectly after about 1 second. I didn't see anything leaking from the FPR. Once started, it runs just fine. No misfires, etc. and there are no codes. I have noticed the gas mileage has gone down probably 10-15%, to 15 from an average of about 17 previously. I do almost all in-town, heavy traffic driving, so I expect it to be low, but it's lower than normal. Could this be a dirty injector leaking? If I take them out one at a time, will I be able to tell by looking at them whether they need cleaning? How do I take them out with the stainless fuel rail? Maybe an IAC? The idle speed is fine, though, so I don't think that's the case. Anything else I should be looking at or suspecting? Should I just go ahead and replace the FPR? Can they have intermittent leaks? (I don't think so, but I also recognize that I'm not the foremost expert at anything)
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice... If you're in the Chicago western 'burbs, stop by and I'll buy ya a beer.
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
This sounds different from your last starting problem. What do your plugs look like? Wet? Do you smell fuel? Have you measured your fuel pressure to see if it's in specs?
Maybe it's a timing problem, I'm thinking crank sensors.
Have you pulled your codes?
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to startOriginally Posted by EcSTSaticMike
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Wondering if anyone thinks I ought to look at the injectors. Maybe I've got a leaky one? Or should I just go ahead and replace the FPR? How do you get the stainless fuel rail off there to check the injectors? Should I clean the EGR while I'm in there? Sorry to be a pest, I just need to have this thing running well because I depend on it. Thanks in advance for any and all ideas.Mike
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Cleaning the EGR would be a good place to start. It's not going to be easy to get it off with the SS fuel rail in place. Since you may have to disconnect the fuel rail anyway, that may be a good time to remove the entire rail with injectors still attatched. If you can lift it enough while still connected to the supply line, turn the key on to energize the pump and pressurize the fuel system while watching for a leaky injector. BTW, the system should hold pressure when shut down. You could put a pressure guage on it and watch it after you shut down. See if the pressure drops. If so, then you know there is a leak somewhere. As a discalimer I should mention that there is a check valve in the fuel pump that is supposed to keep the system pressurized after shut down. I have heard that these are known to fail so the leak down test is not always conclusive but would be a good place to start.
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Thanks, Ranger, I'll give that a shot. I assume the injectors are sitting in grommets and just pull directly upward out of their spots so I can lift the whole mechanism by gently pulling at each injector. With the rail and injectors up, I should be able to get to that EGR a little easier and I might as well do it while I'm there, eh? (no, I'm not from Wisconsin) I'll let you know what I find, assuming I can buy a gauge tomorrow (Memorial Day).Mike
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Yeah, the injectors should be in rubber grommets or "O" rings and you should be able to lift the fuel rail and injectors in one unit.
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
what was the outcome of this problem? i have the same situation with the starting as you. dont know what could be causing it. thanks

Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
My '95 Eldo did the same thing. I bought it used, and it needed new plugs and wires. Have you tried an average tuneup?
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
i bought mine used too. at a 132k now has 134k. the owner said he replaced the plugs and wires. the plugs looked like they have been replaced. plugs cant really tell without taking them out.
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Have you checked for a leaking FPR? That will cause hard hot starts.

Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Ranger, is the bad FPR most noticed when the engine is warm? My car (96 ETC 93000 miles) is getting harder to start lately when it's warm and after it starts, the rpms drop to where the engine almost stalls, and fluctuate for a few seconds then smooth out. From what I recall, the engine starts fine when it's cold. How much to replace the FPR at a dealer????
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Yes, a leaky FPR will be more evident with hot starts. If the diaphram is bad it will leak raw gas into the intake manifold when shut down til the fuel pressure is relieved thus causing a rich start condition. Somewhat like starting a carburated engine with a closed choke, aids in cold starts but hampers hot starts. No idea on dealer prices as I do my own mantainence but it is very easy to diagnose and change. Locate the FPR on the right (rear) fuel rail under the silver beauty cover. It is a small canister looking device with a vacuum hose on the top. With the engine running, pull the vacuum hose and plug it with your thumb to close the vacuum leak you just created and look for fuel leaking from the nipple. There should be none. If there is, get a new FPR. Locate the schreader valve on the opposite rail. Remove the cap, put a rag over it and depress the valve (just exactly like letting air out of a tire). You may get an ounce of gas out of it but with a bad FPR maybe none. Pull the retaining clip on the FPR, pull the FPR and replace with the new one. Lube it with a little engine oil before instalation to ease in seating it in the "O" ring. Pay attention to the "O" ring, that's what seals it. That's all there is to it. I'm guessing the dealer would get every bit of $100 or more.

Don't want to look like this (minus the grin):
Re: 96 SLS sometimes hard to start
Engine doesn't need to be OFF on the '95+. Any fuel leakage will be minor and the vacuum hose can be quickly reinstalled. '93-'94 is another story and should NEVER be started with the intake cover off.
