Residents donate at Pine River blood drive
A total of 28 people volunteered to donate blood, and 20 were able to give during Pine River's Oct. 21 blood drive. Nine people gave blood on the automated 2RBC machine, which collects two units of red blood cells during the donation, so a total of 29 products were collected.
Katie Bartelson, donor recruitment representative from United Blood Services, said, "It is not only those who sponsor the blood drive, but the people of Pine River donating that makes the difference to patients in the hospital. You never know when a loved one or even you will need blood. We want to thank all the people who volunteered on Oct. 21."

Now is the time for skiing or snowboarding – or watching the action from a cozy lodge. Check out these destination ideas – just click on the city name to find cheap flights – but don't miss our tips at the end to help you save even more money.
Listen as Ski.com's Dan Sherman tells FareCompare about the 'personalities' of his favorite resorts.
See the Deals Blog for the latest Ski Sales
East: New England
- Fly to Boston or Burlington, Vermont
Boston's sprawling Logan is the gateway to dozens of excellent resorts in Vermont and New Hampshire and one of the cheaper places in the U.S. to fly to thanks to so much airline competition including several discount carriers – but don't overlook Burlington which frequently boasts cheap flights on JetBlue.
Alternate airport: Hartford – watch for occasional deals to this Connecticut airport, located just 80 miles from Brattleboro, Vermont.
Midwest: Michigan
Michigan is perfect for quick ski getaways for Midwesterners at resorts all the way to the Upper Peninsula. Both cities offer good competition – Chicago's Midway is a focus airport for Southwest while Detroit is a Delta hub.
Alternate airport: Appleton, Wisconsin – served by ultra-discounter Allegiant.
West: Rockies
- Fly to Denver and Salt Lake City
Both cities offer world-class skiing at nearby resorts and Denver is especially cheap right now thanks to lots of competition from discount airlines, but Salt Lake has nice deals too thanks to flights via Frontier, JetBlue and Southwest.
Alternate airport: Colorado Springs, but hurry – discounter Frontier will be cutting back flights there soon.
Far West: British Columbia
- Fly to Vancouver
The gateway city to Whistler and other world-renowned resorts features airlines from around the world including Canadian discounter WestJet.
Alternate airport: Seattle – drive up to Canada or just stay put and enjoy terrific skiing in the Cascades or Olympic Mountains.
Tips to Find Cheap Flights to Ski Resorts
Compare prices: If you go to a single airline site, you won't know if you got the best deal. Always compare ticket prices on a comparison shopping site.
Fly the cheapest days: Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually the cheapest days to fly in the U.S. and many sales to ski country specifically limit travel to those days. Next cheapest day to fly: Saturday.
Search nearby airports: Compare prices and compare airports – you never know where a great deal will crop up.
Add a stop to save: Non-stops are nice but you pay a premium for the convenience. Add a stop and you could save as much as 60%.
Pack light: Some airlines will count your skis as a single checked-bag so you won't pay the extra oversize charge, but why pay an additional bag fee? Use a carry-on, wear your coat, and stuff those pockets.

A meeting at the Nkurumah Hall in the University of Dar es Salaam premises
The audience was addressed by the representative for the Regional Commissioner for Dar es Salaam; WHO staff; representative of the youth; and the Executive Director of the Tanzania Tobacco Control Forum.
Speech by Guest of Honour
In his speech, the Guest of Honor thanked the World Health Organization and all stakeholders involved in the fight against tobacco use including the Civil Society. Highlighting the successful efforts of the Government of Tanzania in the tobacco control, he cited the following:
- The development of the 2003 Legislation on Tobacco Control
- The ratification to the FCTC in April 2007
- Formulation of the National Strategic Plan on Tobacco Control (2010-2015)
- Enforcing regulations which ban importing, distribution and selling of tobacco products from India (Kuber and Mandrax) which target the youth.
- Enforcing regulations which ban of tobacco use in government offices and urging institutions and organization to do the same in order to promote health at the work place.
Concluding his speech, he expressed his commitment to be a role model for enforcing smoke-free environments in Ilala District, including banning of Sheesha lounges in restaurants and hotels. He further urged all stakeholders to invest in educating the public on the harmful effects of tobacco and in working together to control tobacco use in the country.
Messages from others
1. Dr. Martins Ovberedjo on behalf of the WHO Representative for Tanzania delivered the WHO Regional Director's remarks for the occasion. Restating the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC), he said "The Convention calls for a total ban on all forms of commercial communication, recommendation or action and all forms of contribution to any event, activity or individual with the aim, effect, or likely effect of promoting a tobacco product or tobacco use either directly or indirectly." He added that this year's theme is a timely call onto the government of Tanzania to take concrete steps to ensure that any form of recommendation or action or commercial communication aimed at promoting a tobacco product directly or indirectly is banned. He concluded by reaffirming WHO's commitment to continue to work with governments to protect present and future generations from the devastating health, social, environmental and economic consequences of tobacco use and exposure to tobacco smoke.
2. Remarks by the Executive Director for the Tanzania Tobacco Control Forum, Ms. Lutgard Kagaruki urged the government to raise awareness about the addictive and harmful nature of tobacco products. She cited the alarming rise in the number of teenagers in the cities smoking Sheesha under the misconception that Sheesha is not as bad as cigarettes because the tobacco is flavoured and passes through water first. On behalf of the civil society organisations, Ms. Kagaruki called on the government to implement a comprehensive ban on all forms of tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship as outlined in the Article 13 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC).
TOT Training for Tobacco Cessation in Morogoro
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare with support from the WHO Country Office and Regional Office conducted a TOT training on tobacco cessation for the Zonal Mental Health Focal Points on 27-31st May, 2013. Over the course of three days participants were oriented on the role of tobacco dependence treatment within a comprehensive tobacco control strategy. The TOTs are expected to cascade the training to regional mental health coordinators and develop plans for initiation of tobacco cessation programs within the mental health units.
Awareness creation activities
Tanzania Tobacco Control Forum displayed and distributed I.E.C. materials, coupled with health education through music. The school children displayed banners conveying messages on hazards of tobacco use and urged the government to fully implement the provisions of the FCTC.
Media involvement was crucial in the success of the commemorations. A number of local TV, Radio programmes and newspaper articles were produced by different media houses to raise awareness on the on the dangers of tobacco and the need to eliminate tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.
WCO staff participated in a press conference organized to launch a video highlighting the harms of tobacco use produced by the Youth of United Nations in Tanzania. Dr. Grace Saguti delivered WHO Regional Director's remarks for World No Tobacco Day 2013 during the occasion.

|Jeff Green and Paul Pierce: 'We're two lethal threats'
|04.04.13 at 1:19 am ET
Jeff Green has earned a starting spot on the Celtics.
He's been downright dominant offensively in 11 spot starts for a resting Paul Pierce and an injured Kevin Garnett, so come playoff time, all three should be in the starting lineup. Even Celtics coach Doc Rivers seemed to concede that it's "very possible" Green and Pierce start on the wings once Garnett returns.
"We're playing off each other," said Green, who scored 34 points to go with Pierce's 17 in a 98-93 win over a Pistons team that had no matchup answers. "We're two lethal threats on the perimeter and in the low post, so teams have to make a decision on how they want to play us. Either one of us is going to have a nice matchup."
Added Pierce: "You've seen a lot of flashes of that this year. A lot of teams come into these games really focused on what I'm trying to do in the scouting report. When you've got a guy like Jeff who can put up big numbers like that and take over a game, it's fun. It's fun to watch and be a part of."
In the final 9:06 of a game that shouldn't have been so close, Pierce and Green scored 17 straight points until a pair of Jason Terry free throws sealed the deal in the final seconds. Green scored 11 of the C's final 13 points. But don't confuse his aggressiveness in Garnett's absence a passing of the torch just yet.
"I'm not trying to take over games," said Green, who added five boards and four blocks. "That's why we've got The Truth. I'm playing off of him. We're looking for each other. We're being aggressive. If it's in my hands, I'm trying to make a play. If it's in his hands, he's going to make a play, so we've just got to play off each other."
|Fast Break: Jeff Green drives Celtics over Pistons
|04.03.13 at 10:14 pm ET
Jeff Green scored a game-high 34 points — including a dagger 3-pointer with 45 seconds left — Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass each added 17, and the Kevin Garnett-less Celtics beat the Pistons, 98-93. A 76ers loss locked the C's into the playoffs, and a Bucks loss gave them a 2.5-game cushion over the eight seed.
Slump busting: In an attempt to emerge from his recent shooting struggles, Avery Bradley came out firing for the second straight game, and it's working. He made 6-of-11 jumpers against the Timberwolves on Monday in his highest-scoring night since March 5. And he followed that up with a 5-of-6 night on jump shots against the Pistons. In his 13 previous games, Bradley made just 22-of-70 attempts (30 percent) from beyond 10 feet.
Green Day: Once again, Green shined in his seventh straight start for the injured Garnett. He entered Wednesday's game averaging 21.4 points (55 FG%), 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season. He added six rebounds and four blocks to his 34 points on 13-of-19 shooting against the Pistons. Five-man Celtics units featuring Green were a combined plus-152, and all but one of them were in the black, according to 82games.com's most recent updated on March 21.
(In a related note, Doc Rivers told Celtics sideline reporter Greg Dickerson "he is 100 percent confident that KG will be healthy and ready to go for the playoffs.)
Defending their honor: Somehow, the Celtics lost their two previous games to Detroit this season by a combined 35 points, allowing 103 points each time. This time around, sans Garnett, the C's held the Pistons to 36.6 percent shooting (16.7 3P%), as pitbulls Bradley and Courtney Lee held Detroit's starting backcourt to 7-of-26 from the field. Of course, Bass's 17 points on eight shots and seven boards didn't hurt, either.
Paint job: The Pistons scored their first 12 points in the paint. Here's how it went down: Andre Drummond from 6 feet, Greg Monroe layup, Kyle Singler layup, Drummond layup, Monroe layup and Rodney Stuckney layup. Not good. Detroit out-rebounded the C's 8-0 on the offensive glass (Drummond 5), scored 18-of-30 first-quarter points in the key and took a five-point edge on Monroe's eight points, four rebounds and three assists. Also not good. When all was said and done, Detroit outscored the Celtics 58-28 in the paint.
Sloppy second half: With 3:49 left in the third quarter, the Celtics took a 74-56 lead on Chris Wilcox's one and only bucket. That's the good news. The bad: The Pistons closed the third quarter on an 11-0 run thanks to nine points from Monroe and Jonas Jerebko. When Jerebko (19 points) converted a 3-point play to start the fourth quarter, the C's 18-point lead was trimmed to four, and the teams had themselves a ballgame.
Extra chances: The Celtics shot 50.7 percent from the field. The Pistons shot 36.6 percent. So, how in the heck was it a three-point game midway through the fourth quarter? Turnovers, for one. The C's committed 16 of them, leading to 20 Detroit points. And offensive rebounds. The Pistons grabbed almost as many offensive boards (25) as defensive (27), giving the visitors 22 more shots for the game.
|The Celtics love them some Shavlik Randolph
|03.30.13 at 2:12 am ET
When security opened the Celtics locker room after Friday's 118-107 win over the Hawks, reporters rushed to Shavlik Randolph's locker, but the PR staff announced he had already left. The Duke product generally makes postgame small talk for a bit with anybody willing to listen, so his absence came as a surprise to some.
For the C's, though, it should be refreshing. On the best night of his NBA career, Randolph ducked the media scrum, dodged questions that would have made his China-to-Boston journey the headline in Saturday's papers and generally just avoided becoming the focus on a night when veteran teammates Paul Pierce (20-10-10 triple-double), Jeff Green (game-high 27 points) and Jason Terry (24 points on 10 shots) all performed better.
In other words, Randolph knows his role. That or he wanted to watch his alma mater's Sweet 16 date with Michigan St. Either way, his new teammates welcomed the opportunity to heap praise upon the journeyman.
"He understands who he is," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers, "and he does it."
|Fast Break: Shavlik Randolph, Celtics shoot down Hawks
|03.29.13 at 9:59 pm ET
In his first game back on the Celtics bench since his knee surgery, Rajon Rondo witnessed everything his new-look team had to offer. Shavlik Randolph (9 points, 13 rebounds) turned in the finest performance of his NBA career and Jeff Green (27 points) submitted another critic-silencing effort in a 118-107 victory against the Hawks that gave the C's a 2.5-game lead on the seventh seed over the idle Bucks.
Kevin Garnett may have missed his fourth straight game with a foot injury, but fellow over-35 club members Paul Pierce (20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) and Jason Terry (24 points) shined. Here's what else went right.
Shav: In eight first-half minutes, Shavlik Randolph made both his shots and grabbed five boards. The C's trailed by four when he entered early in the second quarter and led by 11 when he left. Given his team's depth and Chris Wilcox's struggles, Celtics coach Doc Rivers has been turning to Randolph earlier, and the 6-foot-10 big man has delivered in limited action. His biggest contribution has been rebounding (10.4 per 36 minutes), but he also appears to grasp the defensive rotations, which doesn't hurt in Doc's book.
Terry and Terrence: Sounds like a bad Disney Channel program, right? Actually, the duo put on a good show. A second quarter, Terry (7-10 FG) made back-to-back 3-pointers to tie the game, and Terrence Williams sandwiched a pair of emphatic dunks around a Pierce layup to give the C's a lead. That kickstarted a 22-6 run that pushed the edge to double digits. Terry scored 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc in the frame.
Green and Pierce: The two Celtics wings have each raised their game for a Celtics squad in desperate need of leaders without Garnett on the floor. Green, obviously, has been the bigger surprise, eclipsing 20 points for the fourth time this month and fourth time in eight starts. Meanwhile, despite hobbling his way through a portion of the game, Pierce continued to do Truth things, submitting his third triple-double of the season. In all, they combined for 47 points, 14 assists and 14 rebounds.
|Avery Bradley: Celtics not 'playing the right way'
|03.27.13 at 12:25 am ET
Avery Bradley's performance had New York media wondering what all the fuss has been over the 22-year-old.
Average Bradley better be the second coming of Michael Cooper defensively because offensively he's a liability.
— Frank Isola (@FisolaNYDN) March 27, 2013
Bradley submitted another poor shooting effort in Tuesday night's 100-85 loss to the Knicks, making just 3-of-11 attempts and dropping his field goal percentage to only 30.5 percent over his last eight games. In that same stretch, a 2-6 run for the Celtics, he has committed as many turnovers as he has collected assists (14).
"He's struggling," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers, whose team has lost five straight games. "Listen, Avery's trying his best. His shot is struggling right now. He can shoot the ball, but when you're thinking about it, he's clearly going through something. And so we're going to have to to try to get him through that.
"Especially now with all the guys out, we're going to need him to be effective. I'm probably going to have to do something to try to get him going more, not less. But I feel for him, because he wants to play hard, he wants to play right, but you can see it. So, we'll get him going."
The most troubling part of Bradley's offense has been his inability to finish at the rim. He entered Tuesday's game shooting just 45.7 percent within eight feet, and he clanged another four gimmes against the Knicks. He's missed significantly more layups (76) than he has corner 3-pointers (53), where he's been decent despite his struggles.
|Fast Break: J.R. Smith, Knicks knock out Celtics
|03.26.13 at 9:50 pm ET
J.R. Smith and Carmelo Anthony combined for 61 points and the Knicks delivered a 100-85 knockout of a Celtics team without Kevin Garnett and Courtney Lee that all but ended the C's reign atop the Atlantic Division.
Jeff Green, Paul Pierce, Jordan Crawford, Brandon Bass and Jason Terry all reached double figures, but the C's committed 20 turnovers and couldn't stop New York on the other end. Here's what else went wrong.
Ugly start: It took almost three minutes for either team to score, and neither club's former NBA Defensive Player of the Year was involved. The Celtics missed their first three shots and committed a pair of turnovers while the Knicks missed their first five attempts until an Anthony (29 points, 8 rebounds) layup broke a scoreless game 2:42 into the first quarter. This wasn't exactly the epic Celtics-Knicks battle national television had banked on.
J.R. Smith: The Knicks Sixth Man scored 32 points on 24 shots (oddly, just three 3-pointers) in 35 minutes. He outscored the entire Celtics bench by 13 points. Smith also grabbed four of his six first-half rebounds on the offensive end, helping New York establish a comfortable 58-44 halftime lead.
Chris Wilcox: Speaking of rebounds, Chris Wilcox had none in 10 minutes. That's not good, and neither were his five total boards in three previous games. Meanwhile, the Knicks reached double-digit offensive rebounds by halftime, netting 50 points in the paint and outscoring the C's 29-6 in second-chance points for the game. Meanwhile, D.J. White and his eight boards per 36 minutes in his career rode the pine until the final three minutes and Shavlik Randolph out-rebounded Wilcox 4-0 in five garbage minutes.
Avery Bradley: The lone healthy Celtics pitbull hasn't had much bite on the offensive end. He's shooting worse than 40 percent this month and hasn't hit half of his shots in a game for more than two weeks. That includes Tuesday night's 3-for-11, six-point effort against the Knicks that featured a pair of badly missed layups.
|Irish Coffee: Five reasons not to panic about Celtics
|03.25.13 at 3:00 pm ET
Add Kevin Garnett and Courtney Lee to the list of walking Celtics wounded. While neither will join Rajon Rondo and Jared Sullinger on the season-ending injury manifest, only 13 games remain in the regular season, they've lost four straight and the goodwill built from a seven-game win streak without Rondo seems like ancient history.
So, is it finally time to bury the C's this season? Not so fast. Here are five reasons not to panic about the current state of the Celtics, even if they only have 10 healthy bodies at this point.
They're firmly entrenched in seventh place, even if they're only two games up on the Bucks.
Even with Rondo, when the Celtics owned a 20-23 record and sat in eighth place, the best they could've hoped for was either a sixth or seventh seed and a chance to avoid the Heat until the Eastern Conference finals.
Well, Doc Rivers' Rondo-less charges play seven of their remaining 13 games at home, including a four-game stretch from April 3-10 that includes the Pistons, Cavaliers and Wizards. Not a brutal stretch by any measure. Meanwhile, the Bucks face the Thunder (twice), Lakers, Knicks, Heat, Hawks and Nuggets over their final 13 games — seven of which are on the road. As a result, a seventh seed seems to be the C's most likely scenario.
Their road record isn't as bad as it seems, even if they're a putrid 12-23 away from home.

Re: 2005 STS maintenance
My last car was a fwd and handled good in the snow. This Cadillac STS has done very well with new tires in snow. Danny
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
Turning into a skid isn't a hard skill and lifting your foot off the throttle at the first loss of traction is a natural reaction. In a RWD car, this natural reaction stabilizes the vehicle and in a front-drive car it actually de-stabilizes the car. Front-drive encourages development of a habit of keeping the throttle constant or even increasing it when the front wheels begin to slip.
I find this non-intuitive. Early attempts at racing front-drive designs resulted in fast cars right up until drivers lost control and then could not recover. Even today, front-drive cars are really only competitive when raced against each other.
I strongly recommend a set of Blizzaks for your STS before Thanksgiving, or consider storing it. A 2-ton RWD car on hard 8-inch-wide tires will be in the traction control/ABS constantly on conventional or multi-purpose tires (all-season radials).
I'm not saying you can't do it. I'm saying you won't want to.
The STS has nice balance (weight distribution is nearly even) and reasonably good traction control, but your 2005's V6 torque is well over 200 ft. lbs. it won't be easy on snow & ice in traffic. Can you afford to just stay where you are when necessary?
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
Hay thanks guys for the tips but I think that my winter problem is resolved, oh I still want to go to the nearest large parking lot (alone) and test the stability in the snow, but...
I talked it over with my wife (she's the wallet counsellor ha!) and we came to the conclusion that we should keep my old 2002 FWD Buick Lesabre which I didn't sold yet, for me to use in the winter and store the cady (nice heated garage), well I'm not saying that I won't take it out for a spin on a nice cold DRY winter sunny day once in a while, but it passed the counsellor's budget
I think i convinced her when I let her drive the cady to go shopping (alone with my mother), when she came back she asked me if we could take long romantic drives somewhere (with a roll of paper towels
So I'm preparing a nice romantic drive for most week-ends ha ha! see ya!

Re: 2005 STS maintenance
Hi everyone !
Long time no see... well, when all is well, no news... (that's just like me)
I finally got my OBD2 scanner to work, good toy to play with, I tried a lot of different softs and the one I got my heart set on is SCANTOOL (native to desktop Linux distros) and pritty good for a novice like me
I missed my chance to diagnose something weird that happened this after noon, my baby showed a (translation from French) "repair vehicle" but no check engine light ?!?!?, just got rid of it by playing with the info switch... what happened ?!?! I'm confused, was that just a computer glitch ?!?! or it's something bad coming$$$ I'm beginning to start noticing that cars really do have personalities
Checked everything and all seams to be OK, I'll just wait it out...
Cheers everyone!
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
Welcome back! Most of the members ask for scan codes; got any?
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
Sorry EChas3
Like I said, no check engine light, so no code, just "repair vehicle" from the info display, creepy... I shouldn't name here "Christine" maybe "Boumbo" is a better name (look it up on Youtube) ha ha!, as soon I touched the info button to get INFO?!?!, "repair vehicle" disappeared like a ghost... CREEEPY!
My Grand-Father (passed away) was a Ford technician for 50 years, and he tolled me one day... "If a CAR seams to cure it self it means bad news down the road" CREEEEEEEEEEEEPY!
OK CALM DOWN TOM.... Christine... Your going to the VET (GM dealer), tomorrow!!!!
Just kidding, I will wait it out, I'm curious if it's gonna cost me a towing... (I've got CAA)
Night night everyone!

I believe I would translate into "service vehicle soon" and you would need to scan the BCM, IPC, and other modules for codes. You would only be able to scan ECM code with a code reader.
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
Thank's Dino1SG
I will put my SCANTOOL to work ASAP, I thought that no check engine light means no code but you seam to tell me that "repair vehicle" is the equivalent to Service Engine Soon? I wonder if my Scantool can read logs, hmmmmm!
I will keep you posted on my findings...
An other thing completely out of subject I was wondering about is...
I was wondering if for some reason I destroy my FOB (plunged in a pool with 5 gorgeous babes and forgot that my FOB was in my pocket)... you know, weird stuff happens
Can I start the car with the ordinary indestructible metal key I can open the door/trunk/glove compartment/ect...? or I'm had...
I've search the web and my Owner's manual and found nothing... I've heard of a hidden slot somewhere that you put the metal key in and press the start button... is that true? I'm talking about a 2005 STS
I know that if the battery is week, the info will tell you to change the battery, and if it's very week or completely dead, you can put the FOB in the console and still start the car, but what if the FOB is destroyed for some reason? can I use the metal key to start the car?
Night night yall!!!
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
The fob is water resistant but even damaged and without power, the key code in the fob may be read by inserting it in the pocket in the armrest, Cadillac emblem facing forward. I suppose if you only have one fob, it is not hard enough to imagine a scenario where it is damaged beyond use. So you need a dealer.
I don't see that as a big deal, if you only have one fob for a Canadian car, you're already on thin ice. You need a dealer just to add a second fob keyed to a driver preset. You're more likely to lose a fob than have it go bad.
They can be moved w/o a properly matched fob but not started.
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
You use the key to unlock the door and then follow instructions above.

Owners refer to 1SG or other digits I suppose it designates the model type or equipment package. Anyone know where there is a list showing what they mean. I have an 05 STS rear wheel V8
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
A member posted a list not long ago. A few searches should pull it up.
1SA-1SC are the V6's & 1SE-1SG are the V'8's. A few options are available across the range but most were tied to minimum trim levels within each engine group. Can you still get a free VIN data-feed by joining Compnine?
Open your trunk & spare tire cover and look at the 4 x 6 tag with your VIN & a bunch of three-digit codes. 1SZ is a marketing option.

Re: 2005 STS maintenance
Thanks every one for your support (and believe me, it helped!!!)
This is my findings:
OK first of all, the FOB thing, I've discover that if the FOB is dead, you can use it any way if you put it in the FOB pocket inside the arm rest with the Caddy logo facing the front of the car, (Thanks EChas3 it uses a proximity reader powered by the car through induction to an embedded antenna and CPU in the rear plastic cover of the FOB)
So If the FOB is lost or crushed, you need a tow truck and a dealer...
But I have the most precious thing with me (MY WIFE and her FOB, ha ha!)
I just need to explain to her, why I destroyed my FOB, and I'm all set...
As for my "repair vehicle" warning... I had a STALL this morning (no start, but with a shut down and restart... AT LAST MY BABY STARTED WITH A CHECK ENGINE!!!) I rushed to my SCANTOOL computer and it spitted out "ECM/EPC communication error" I realised it was after a short STOP and GO, so I suspected the battery, it was the original 9 yo GM battery ?!?! (Delco has the best...) so I got my self a genuine DELCO GM battery for my Baby 395$ I think I was had...
Before the change, it was charging at 12.8/13 volts (tension readings on the on board computer) now with a 395$ one, it reads a full 13.9 to 14 volts... (WOW! I CAN GO GET MY DAUGHTER 4 hours away in Chicoutimi Quebec!!!) With a peace of mind...
But before you put me down... If this battery lasts 9 years like the original one did, I will have the last laugh...
Night night yall!!
Re: 2005 STS maintenance
hey gang
I came back from a 4 day trip (went to get my daughter) I've put 620 miles (1000km) on the Caddy and the 3.6L engine burned one qt of oil (my oil/filter was only 300 miles old), is that normal ?!?!?!?
I drove mostly on cruse control up/down mountains at 70mph, should I start putting additives in the oil?, I use full synthetic 5w30 Quaker State oil with wear protection.
Or should I start saving for a new engine (it has 84000 miles and I do my oil/filter changes every 3000 miles)
Do I use the wrong stuff? Am I pushing to hard on the throttle? I hope this will not deteriorate...

Date of Stay: March, 2014
The $13 charge is with a Golden Age Pass. I also spent $9 to reserve the campsite. We stayed here for a week in late March on site #16. The pad was paved and level, a little short, with the back of our 31 foot motor home up in the air. There was a nice concrete "patio" for the picnic table with a fire pit, a waist level grill, and a camping lantern pole/hook for night-time activities. On the other side of the "patio," away from the motor home, was a marked off tent site. We were on the lake shore. Good campground hosts. We rode our bikes on the new Tanglefoot Trail, about 5 miles west, in New Houlka. Lots of history on the Natchez Trace Parkway, about 4 miles to the east. You can visit Elvis's birthplace in Tupelo, about 25 miles away.
Date of Stay: March, 2014
We have been visiting this park in the winter for a number of years. This year I made a reservation 6 months ago and was able to get a full hookup site, #76, that had all the utilities together and on the right side for a back-in site. Our neighbors, who also have sewer connections, have hookup problems, too far, wrong side, etc. The park is wet this year but has also been wet in the past, nothing new. The parking pads are breaking up, ours was just gravel, from heavy RVs and leveling jacks. Some sites are short. Neighbor, next site, can't park his truck on site, and he had a devil of a time backing in. Then damaged his travel trailer when he opened his slide, tree was too close. Wi-Fi is slow because of all the embedded ads that are being filtered out or blocked. (This wasn't a problem in the past but we all know more ads are showing up on web pages.) But I come for the Tammany Trace, a bike trail that is under construction for the last few years.
Date of Stay: January, 2011
We camped here in our 31 ft Class C because I wanted to ride my bicycle on the Longleaf Trace, a 40 mile paved trail from Hattiesburg to Prentiss, MS. The owner of Four -K- Stables was extremely helpful and friendly. We camped through a cold spell and he winterized our water hose, at his expense. His main business is the stable, having 5 horses of his own, and it was fun being around the horses. The facility owner is on the Board of Directors of the Longleaf Trace and is very supportive of all users. There is an equestrian trail adjacent to the paved trail that is wide enough for buggies and wagons. Bassfield is a 58 mile round trip to and from Hattiesburg on the trail.
Date of Stay: January, 2010
We stayed here for eight days in the middle of January. We were charged $108.50 for the 8 days with free electricity. Flat, solid gravel site, some dead grass and a small tree on our site. The free CATV was great: 70 channels and 18 HD channels. The free Wi-Fi was variable; had 3 antennas but was slow at times. The DSL modem probably needed to be rebooted. We used our own bathroom. The laundry worked fine; wife was happy. It rained for 30 hours straight while we were here and one road turned into a lake. As the reviewer from October 2009 said "the permanent pickup camper next to our site was using both his own yard and our yard too with a small refrigerator and assorted stuff on the picnic table and scattered about." He was still here in January 2010 in site 19, we were in 20. Fredericksburg is a great place to visit. This park is OK if you don't need all the fancy stuff. We would come here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2009
This is a new state park campground that opened in August of 2009. It has a new bathroom and shower facility in addition to new vault toilets. There are six private shower rooms in the bathhouse. The campsites are relatively open and easy to get into with good, wide access roads. The individual sites have fairly level gravel pads and are roomy. The campground has 34 electric sites, 20/30/50 amp, and 31 non-electric sites. Rates for Wisconsin residents are $12/night for non-electric and $17/night for electric. Non-residents pay $14 and $19. An entrance fee is also charged.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This is a beautiful and popular campground in central Wisconsin. Some of the sites have electricity but it is only rated at 15 amps. Water and a dump station are available at the park entrance. Sites 1 through 22 are available as first come/first serve and cannot be reserved. They are electric sites. We worked as campground hosts and these sites, 1-22, were generally available during the week. There is a nice swimming lake with sand beach. There is good road bicycling in the area with some off-road and paved trails in the park. You will also need to buy a Wisconsin State Park entrance sticker to put on your car, truck, or motor home. I'm rating this park somewhat low only because they don't have full hookups like we have come to expect. Otherwise for beauty, it is a 10. We really stayed here in July, 2008, but 2008 was not available as a pull-down option on the data entry form. So I'm pretending that we were here in March of 2009 only to get the park in the database.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This was a good campground. We made an overnight stop here on the way home from Florida. Full hookups with good cable TV and Wi-Fi. We were given a drive through site with a level concrete pad. The entrance road is huge! The interior roads are gravel. We were given free hot chocolate, popcorn and the USA newspaper when we registered. We were escorted to our site by a woman in a golf cart. The only negative was a bit of noise from nearby highway 231. The $24 price was a cash price; credit card price was higher. We would definitely stop here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
We stopped here on an overnight on our way home from Florida. There were a mix of transients, like us, and more permanent people. We were given a pull-through site with a decent gravel pad. There was some standing water at the site but the picnic table was on a wooden platform. There was another wooden platform under our steps. Good cable TV but the wireless internet was spotty for us. Wife's Mac mostly worked but my Win computer didn't. We have a wireless backup camera that must be turned off to access WiFi. I-65 is just above the campground so there is road noise. They have Gray Line bus service to the Opry, $45 adult ticket. We paid a bit over $19 after tax as a Passport America rate.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
We stopped here as an overnight stay on our way home from Florida at the end of March. The only utility available at this time was electricity. The showers and bathrooms were not opened and we really didn't find drinkable water. We used some cloudy water to rinse out our toilet. We stayed in a pull-through site, #6, I think, and it was level. Some of the other sites were seriously off level. The roads were paved and were relatively easy to navigate. But it helped that there were few other campers in the park. I saw two handicapped sites that were paved in concrete. The campground host was friendly. He recommended Ted's Garage on highway 54 on the west side of Clinton for food and I had a good Friday night fish fry.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
We stayed here for a week while visiting friends in The Villages. This was a nice place with a few shade trees if you are lucky. There are wide, paved roads in the campground, with good cable TV and WiFi. We used our Passport America membership to get a rate of $14 a night, plus tax of about one dollar. Negatives for us were that we were on a problem site, not level, and our swing down levelers just sunk in the sandy soil. The individual campsites were on dry, sandy ground, no pavement, with a little grass. I know, I need some 2x4s. Another negative was that our utilities, water, electricity and TV were on one side of the motor home and the sewer was on the other side. When properly positioned for the sewer, our awning almost touched the RV next door, so site 131 was tight. We probably could have moved to a different site because the park was emptying as we stayed. We saw a Class B try to park near us, on a hill, and they complained and found a flat site across from the office. This is a 50+ adult campground so that is why it is rated as not being a "Family Type Campground."
Date of Stay: March, 2009
We stayed here for one night. The roads in the campground are sand and narrow. It is pretty hard to avoid brushing vegetation. They have different sized campsites. You really need to go through Reserve America to get a site you can fit into. The campsites are sand and are nice as are most of the sites in the Florida state parks. Quiet and dark. We stayed here in a 31 foot Class C and didn't use the camp bathrooms or showers. We would come again.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This is a decent place. This is a "Good Sam" park but that is an overrating. The office people were friendly and took us to our campsite. Our site was on grass, I think all of them are, with some trees around us. Sandy roads inside the campground but with no overhanging branches to catch the unwary. There is a 1500 foot boardwalk to the Suwannee River. You can swim in the Suwannee if you want but there are no lifeguards. The campground has a mix of snowbirds and overnighters. I didn't notice any "permanent" residents. Odd cable TV with the three old networks plus Fox, TV Land and Fix News. NBC came from New York of all places and it seemed like ABC was coming out of California. PBS on the antenna. Full hook-ups but low water pressure. WiFi at a hot spot in the clubhouse. There is a tent camping area in the woods near the boardwalk. This is a very quiet area, well off the main roads. The entrance road is 0.6 mile (not 1.5 miles as someone else has said) bumpy mystery pavement with sand and gravel over the top. The paved road out front is fairly narrow. Two Class A units meeting would probably have to slow down and pass carefully. The Nature Coast Trail, a 32 mile paved biking, hiking, and equestrian trail is 5 miles away in Old Town. We stayed here in a 31 foot Class C for 5 nights and payed $95 with a Passport America discount.
Date of Stay: March, 2009
This is a deluxe campground that was in high demand in March when we stayed there. We had relatives visiting in the Destin area so we stayed for 8 days. I was able to use Reserve America to find sites but we stayed in 4 different sites over the eight days. There are two parts of the park, an older section and a newer section which was nicer. There is good shade in most of the park. The interior roads are smoothly paved and are wide enough for the biggest of Class A. There are level, concrete pads throughout the park with nice, paved patio areas in the right spots. The campground is very well maintained by a large staff of state workers and campground host volunteers. Full hook-ups plus cable TV. Heated pool and fishing pond. No WiFi. There is a 20 mile bike trail just outside the park. We would definitely come back again but make reservations in advance. The only negatives are that there is no WiFi and the daily rate is high for a long term stay of 14 days maximum. We stayed here in a 31 foot Class C motor home.
Date of Stay: February, 2009
I have mixed feelings about this place. It is really neat with a pretty fabulous set of buildings and a working railroad, 2 foot gauge. We came in without a reservation and asked to stay a week so we were given a grassy, fairly unlevel site. The cable TV did not work and the wireless internet was sporadic at best. They have an indoor heated pool, but it has restricted hours. In fact the activity building is closed much of the time. We did not have a picnic table. There really are two campgrounds here, the upper sites and the lower sites. The upper sites are in a grassy field and are used for the long term people or the work campers and they are cheaper. The lower sites have a gravel pad, all are drive through, and have various degrees of shading. The lower campground is nicer but more expensive. We stayed in the lower campground. Concrete pads would be nice. They do have some ongoing activities. We only saw one of the owners on Thursday night, at the potluck. The office person is a workcamper and she could have been a little more helpful.
Date of Stay: February, 2009
This is a good place and we would definitely come again. The rate is with the Good Sam discount. They have many activities in their clubhouse but the clubhouse is too small for the size of the park. The pool is outdoors and unheated while we were there. Nice sites with level concrete pads. No shade, at least where we were. The birds, peacocks?, next door that were mentioned by someone else were not a problem for us. There is a 5 mile paved bike trail at the park entrance and you can take the trail to Gulf State Park for a longer ride. Lots of "snowbirds" were here.

Steamboat Springs Two galleries will add a splash of color to Lincoln Avenue storefronts next month.
Sleeping Giant Gallery is moving to a retail space in the new Alpenglow building at Lincoln and Sixth Street. The gallery has occupied a space in a corridor off Lincoln between Sixth and Seventh streets. Wild Horse Gallery is opening a second location, at Eighth Street and Lincoln Avenue, the former Alpine Electronics site.
"We wanted a little larger space," said Don Tudor, who owns Sleeping Giant Gallery with his wife, Cully Kistler. "We're kind of out of room. We wanted more walls."
Tudor sells prints of his photographs, and Kistler sells her oil paintings. Their new space at Alpenglow is about 11,000 square feet - 200 square feet larger than the current store.
"We designed this to get the maximum amount of wall space," Tudor said. The sage green wall zigzags on one side, providing more surfaces on which to hang pieces. Tudor has built homes in Steamboat Springs for years, so he and Kistler have done the renovations themselves.
"I've been in Steamboat 40 years, so I know it's always good to be able to do a couple things," Tudor said with a chuckle. About half his business is architectural photography.
Tudor and Kistler hope to open for the First Friday Art Walk in June. They're excited to sell their work in a more visible spot and plan to put a flat-screen TV in the window that will show images of their artwork at night.
"We've had a lot of people come by and say they didn't know we were back here," Tudor said about the current location. The gallery has a sign on Lincoln Avenue, but the actual shop is tucked away from passers-by on the main drag.
Wild Horse Gallery is making a longer trek to Lincoln Avenue. The gallery owners, who have a location in the Sheraton Steamboat Resort, want to tap into downtown traffic also.
"They're totally different markets, really," said Shirley Stocks, who owns Wild Horse Gallery with her husband, Richard Galusha. "We thought it would be nice because Steamboat has both a mountain market and a downtown market."
Stocks said she and Galusha had been waiting eight years to snag the space on the northwest corner of Eighth Street and Lincoln Avenue. Alpine Electronics closed last month.
Stocks said she isn't sure when the new gallery will open, adding that she and Galusha are aiming for the end of June. The gallery offers a variety of works, she said.
"We carry about 50 different artists, and it's everything from bronze sculptures to oil paintings to watercolors to glass," Stocks said.
Wild Horse will be the newest artsy addition to that downtown block. The Steamboat Art Museum, of which Stocks is president, sits on the south side of the Eighth and Lincoln intersection. Stocks said the local arts community had been working for years to build an art district, which offers several benefits, she said.
"I think it's also an educational aspect to that," Stocks said. "It's becoming a cultural district, and usually those are very vibrant. There's a lot of energy, a lot of nightlife and a lot of restaurants that go with it."
Other art and photography galleries downtown include the K. Saari Gallery, the Artists' Gallery of Steamboat and Images of Nature.
Although more galleries could mean more competition, Kistler and Tudor said they would welcome that culture.
"I'd love to see galleries all up and down Main Street," Kistler said.

ditra over plywood
I've been reading up on this stuff and am pretty impressed. I'm confused, however. Some contractor forums say to lay down the mat and let dry over night. Ditra installation instructions say you can lay tile over the mat as you lay the mat down. http://www.schluter.com/5793.aspx.
Are both correct and just different techniques of personal preference?
The instruction also states, "use a thinset suitable for the substrate." What does that mean? My subfloor has VCT stuck down with cutback adhesive which I'm sure will have asbestos. I haven't attempted removal yet, but in the past this stuff has been a bear to remove. I've done some where plywood strands come up with the tile.
I think I'm in for a big job and sore back. It's about 220sqft.
Remove the vinyl then modified thinset can be used to install the DITRA.
You can get back on the DITRA to install tile right away but why would you want to. Why risk and compromise the bonding of the DITRA to the substrate.
Vinyl is generally installed with a 1/4" plywood underlayment. See if this is the case with your vinyl. If so, remove the 1/4" plywood at the same time you remove the vinyl. It's a lot easier to remove that way. Locate the seams in the plywood and cut the vinyl along the plywood seams then pry it all out at the same time.:)

Research Data Management is an integral part of good research practice and comprises activities relevant to all stages of the research data lifecycle. Data management involves establishing strategies for the creation, use, secure storage, and ongoing accessibility and preservation of research data. Data management activities contribute to organizing, documenting, finding, archiving, and sharing and re-using your data.
Data constitute the core of a research project. Maintaining data reliability is key to ensuring the integrity of data-based conclusions. Without proper data management, the validity of research results can be questioned, jeopardizing not only your own reputation, but also the work of others and the reputation of the University.
Responsible data management:
When we talk about data in this Toolkit, we are referring to systematically recorded information that is produced as part of a research process and is the basis of research findings. Funders with data sharing and data management policies may have their own definitions.
Here are some examples of research data types and formats:
Managing your data is a multi-step process. The planning for data collection is the first step, but it is also important to think about what you will do with your data when the project is completed and what long term retention needs you might have. In order to properly manage your data you need to understand the nature of the data, its audience and ownership, and its long-term viability. Reviewing the following questions will help you get started:
The following guides cover general principles for managing your data, plus selected information related to particular formats or disciplines.

A 0.02882 g sample of gas occupies 10.0-mL at 288.5 K and 1.10 atm. Upon further analysis, the compound is found to be 38.734% C and 61.266% F.
What is the molecular formula of the compound?
What is the geometry shape around each carbon atom?
Polar or Nonpolar?
Use PV = nRT and solve for n = numbre of mols. Substitute into n = grams/molar mass. You know mols and grams, solve fo rmolar mass. Use that number later.
Take a 100 g sample which gives you
38.734 g C and 61.266 g F. Convert to mols.
38.734/12 = ?
61.266/19 = ?
Find the ratio of C to F with the smallest number being 1.00. The easy way to do that is to divide the smaller number by itself; then divide the other number by the same small number. That gives you the empirical formula.
Calculate the mass of the empirical formula and substitute into
empirical formula x ?number = molar mass from above and round ?number to a whole number.
The molecular formula is (CxHy)?
Post your work if you get stuck.
For n I got 26.18 mols. For the mass I got 31 because it was CF.
26.18 is not right. CF is the empirical formula. The empirical mass is not 31. You need the molar mass from mols and grams.
The moles of C is 3.227. The moles of F is 3.224. Therefore the empirical formula is CF. How would I find the empirical mass? Your explanation is confusing.
Yes, I said the empirical formula of CF is correct. My error for empirical mass; it is 12 + 19 = 31 as you noted.
Here is how you do the molar mass.
PV = nRT
P = 1.10 atm
V = 10.0 mL = 0.0100 L
n = solve for this
R = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K
Solve for n = about 5E-4 but that is just a close estimate.
Then n = grams/molar mass and
about 5E-4 = 0.02882/molar mass.
Solve for molar mass which is approximately 60.
The molecular formula then is
empirical formula x ? number = molar mass
31 x ? = 60
? = about 2 when rounded to a whole number; theefore, the molecular formula is
(empirical formula)2 or
You should go through and confirm those numbers since they are just estimates on my part.

The Honor of the Name HTML version
Chapter 40
The twenty-four hours which Blanche had spent in measuring the extent of her terrible
misfortune, the duke had spent in raving and swearing.
He had not even thought of going to bed.
After his fruitless search for his son he returned to the chateau, and began a continuous
tramp to and fro in the great hall.
He was almost sinking from weariness when his son's letter was handed him.
It was very brief.
Martial did not vouchsafe any explanation; he did not even mention the rupture between
his wife and himself.
"I cannot return to Sairmeuse," he wrote, "and yet it is of the utmost importance that I
should see you.
"You will, I trust, approve my determinations when I explain the reasons that have
guided me in making them.
"Come to Montaignac, then, the sooner the better. I am waiting for you."
Had he listened to the prompting of his impatience, the duke would have started at once.
But how could he thus abandon the Marquis de Courtornieu, who had accepted his
hospitality, and especially Blanche, his son's wife?
He must, at least, see them, speak to them, and warn them of his intended departure.
He attempted this in vain. Mme. Blanche had shut herself up in her own apartments, and
remained deaf to all entreaties for admittance. Her father had been put to bed, and the
physician who had been summoned to attend him, declared the marquis to be at death's
The duke was therefore obliged to resign himself to the prospect of another night of
suspense, which was almost intolerable to a character like his.
"To-morrow, after breakfast, I will find some pretext to escape, without telling them I am
going to see Martial," he thought.
He was spared this trouble. The next morning, at about nine o'clock, while he was
dressing, a servant came to inform him that M. de Courtornieu and his daughter were
awaiting him in the drawing-room.

Print and Online Journals
Journals by Title - Print and Online
Access to Geology journals can be available through print, e-only or both. To determine if we receive a particular journal, you can search by title in the Libraries Catalog by selecting the journal/serials tab, then set search type to "title begins with".
Example: The Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research
Type: journal of volcanology
The results will show two entries:
Print journal available for the years 1976-2004 (via 3 rd floor SEIC/Silverman)
E-only journal available for the years 2005+ (via ScienceDirect)
E - Journals by Title
To search for e-journals you need to search both the Libraries Catalog (see above) and the Electronic Journals databases. From the libraries' main page under "Quick Links" (left-hand column) select ' Electronic Journals' which will generate an A-Z list for journal title browsing. However, this generated list will only show journals titles which produce full text articles; it is wise to double-check any journal titles in the BISON catalog for journals that may have abstracts or partial full-text articles.
Searching Databases for Articles
Bibliographic databases index items from a variety of resources and contain searchable information from numerous journals, magazines, conferences, books, associations and newspaper citations. Databases vary amongst each other and may offer full-text or partial full-text articles, abstracts and citations. Some databases are subject-specific while others may index a broad spectrum of topics.
From the libraries' main page, select Databases by Title (right-hand column) for a complete A – Z list of databases and direct access to their links.
For Geoscience articles try these top picks:
- Academic Search Complete
- GeoRef
- GeoBase
- SciFinder
- Engineering Index
- ScienceDirect
- Wiley Online Library
- Web of Science
- IngentaConnect
These titles plus many more geology resources are listed on the
Geology – Resources by Subject Guide
From the libraries main webpage, click ' Resources by Subject ' under Quick Links (left-hand column), then select Geology.

Selecting Scholarly Resources
Critically evaluating resources is an essential step in the research process. In order to effectively evaluate articles, it is necessary to differentiate between scholarly journals and non-scholarly journals.
Generally, articles relating to the subject of Geology fall within two main types of periodicals: (1) scholarly and research journals, and (2) popular, news and general interest magazines. The following chart will assist researches in determining the difference between these two types of resources.
Scholarly and Research Journals Popular, News and General Interest Magazines Examples
- Scholarly and Research Journals
- Geology
- New Astronomy
- Bulletin of Volcanology
- Quaternary Research
- Science (among the front matter resources are short, non-scientific, BRIEF descriptions of current research fronts, news about projects and programs)
- Nature (among the front matter resources are short, non-scientific, BRIEF descriptions of current research fronts, news about projects and programs)
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
- Earth
- Astronomy
- GSA Today
- Scientific American
- Natonal Geographic
- Scholarly and Research Journals
Original research, experimentation reports and substantial review articles. Typically peer reviewed or refereed. The UB Libraries Resources by Subject site provides individual subject librarians' compilations of databases that are the basic finding tools for journal articles.
- Trade Publications
Trade Publications are usually produced by professional or trade associations in specific fields and are written for members of the profession and are also used for the cross disciplinary exchange of news, information, resources, and ideas. Articles are written by members of the profession or by specialized scientific or technical writers with expert knowledge about the field of interest. These are excellent current awareness publications with book reviews, research summaries and extensive product descriptions and advertisements. FreeTradeMagazines.com provides a lengthy list of SUBSCRIPTION-FREE Trade Magazines.
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
Short articles or news bites on current topics of general interest for broad audiences. Often 2 nd or 3 rd hand information from original sources. Not peer reviewed.
- Scholarly and Research Journals
Assume familiarity with the terminology of the discipline. In depth articles, several pages in length.
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
Written for a general educated audience. Very short paragraphs or articles.
- Scholarly and Research Journals
Scholars and Researchers. Author's credentials given.
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
Staff or freelance journalists, some subject knowledge. Rarely lists author's credentials.
- Scholarly and Research Journals
Footnotes and references, often extensive documentation.
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
Sources rarely cited.
- Scholarly and Research Journals
Universities, research institutes, scholarly presses, and professional organizations.
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
Commercial publishers.
- Scholarly and Research Journals
Graphs, charts,photographs, and tables. Some scholarly journals are providing direct links for creating PowerPoint (PPT) slides from graphics with complete citation data as part of the download.
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
Many illustrations and photographs. Often slick high glossy issues.
- Scholarly and Research Journals
None or selective advertising.
- Popular, News and General Interest Magazines
Many ads.
Thinking Critically About The WWW
Some Important Web Facts
- Any person or organization can publish information on the Web
- Web pages are not organized
- Most books and scholarly periodicals have been edited and evaluated by their publishers, while Web pages are not evaluated by the search engines which index them. Even subject directories which have been "organized" into categories by people, are rarely critically evaluated for content
- Web sources can change on a day to day basis, adhering to a "Here today, gone tomorrow" concept
Basic Web Evaluation Techniques
- Always check to see if the web site has a discernable author. Unlike books and periodicals Web sites often do not list the creator of the pages. If you come across a Web page that has information about your topic but does not have an author, it is highly recommended that it not be used as a source for your assignment.
- Pay close attention to the URL and domain name of a Web site. The URL or Uniform Resource Locator is the "address" of the Web site, while the domain name ( .com, .gov, etc..) is used in the URL to identify the source or purpose of the Web site. For example:
.gov - Government agencies
.edu - Educational institutions
.org - Organizations (nonprofit)
.mil - Military
.com - Commercial business
.net - Network organizations
It is recommended that you avoid using .com sites for scholarly research and instead try to stick sites with .edu, .gov, and .org domains. However, if you are looking for company information, product literature, or services available from corporate or business entitites, the .com is the proper domain to use.
When browsing .edu sites pay attention to Web pages with the ~ (tilde) after the .edu ; this is a usually an indication that it is an individual homepage of a student or faculty member of a university.
For example: www.buffalo.edu/~smith
- Be sure to check the date of the last time the Web page was modified.
If you are unable to find any date for the page, it is highly recommended that it not be used as a cited source for your assignment

Yan Gérard était membre d'ISIT.
I'm professor assistant at ISIT from Auvergne University.I work mainly in the field of Digital Geometry since quite a long time now (I had my PhD in 2000) but I'm interested in many areas that arise around this topic. The specific domains where I think to have some original ideas are Discrete and Geometric Tomography, Computational Geometry, Word Combinatorics, Linear Programming.... and since a short time, Computer Vision.I have an open mind vision of research. Being an expert of a very precise domain does not provide me a lot of satisfaction, thus I prefer to keep an inquiring mind. I'm interested in any topic related with geometry. The Idea of ISIT and in ma case of ALCoV is to use our knowledge of geometry to developp an Augmented Reality project for Laparoscopic T Surgery. I'm involved in the pre-processing step. Our goal is to compute a 3D scene of the pelvis of the patient from the MRI images.

The Extreme Existential Makeover
Jared Sperli stashed this in life
Stashed in: Be yourself., Change, Awesome, Longevity!, Late Bloomers, The Internet is my religion.
I *love* this concept of a do-over later in life:
AMONG the many unexpected downsides of increased longevity (running through one's retirement money; more years in an assisted-living facility; entertaining the possibility that we ourselves may suffer the consequences of global warming, even though we thought we were just "passing the problem on to our children"), one can now include the prospect of more time to sit on a park bench brooding about how we could have done it differently — been better than ourselves.
But this is America, land of opportunity, where all things are possible for all of us at any moment in our lives. Remember that phenomenon of childhood, the do-over, where, if you landed in the Monopoly space that sent you directly to jail or drew bad cards at Go Fish, you could request a do-over? The game has also become popular with late-stage adults. It just has other names: Princeton Learn & Travel. Harbor Bay Club Senior Tennis. Bennington Chamber Music Conference. You've already been to Morocco, but it was the '60s and you were stoned. You got kicked off the high school sports team for reading Partisan Review on the bus. You gave up the violin in sixth grade because your music teacher insisted you had no talent. But what did he know? Again, please, from the beginning.
Read more:
I bet you didn't know I have a "late bloomers" stash:
Sometimes "do over" means marriage:
Marriage is especially susceptible to the lure of the do-over — and once is often not enough. It's well known that around half of all marriages end in divorce. According to the National Center for Family and Marriage Research, at Bowling Green State University, that figure rises to 60 percent for second marriages and to 65 percent for third and fourth marriages. Yet the vast majority of these men and women remarry. (A Chinese fortune cookie I received not long ago from Hunan Cottage: "Cannot change wife of 40 for two 20s." No, but I know a few men who have done it for one.)
Sometimes "do over" means business:
Business is another fertile field when it comes to aspirational rebirth. The Small Business Administration has instituted a program for 50-plus "Encore Entrepreneurs," classified as "individuals planning to start a business after earlier career endeavors." Encore.org, based in San Francisco, awards what it calls the Purpose Prize as "an investment in people 60 and older who are creating fresh solutions to old problems." Winners include a lawyer who teaches homeowners how to protect themselves from unfair lending practices, and a retired financial planner who offers workshops to low-income families. Doing over can be doing good — for once.

Basement concrete floor repair estimate
I have a one floor ranch style house with a full basement (same footprint as the house but with 7 feet floor-to-bottom of joists) in CT. The walls are concrete block and when I purchased the home (built in 1954) there was a crack in the floor about 18 inches sway from the block wall and the bottom course of block had separated from the second course by about 1 to 1.5 inches. The inspector said that because the broken joint was dry and had shown no signs of water damage, that the condition was probably OK. We got our money back from the inspection company due to other things I found that they missed but that is another story.
Anyway, I am the last house on a dead end street and I have a wetlands area about 50 feet after me that fills with rainwater that runs down the street. The level of water varies but does not look like it reaches what would be the bottom of my concrete slab (damn close sometimes). I have a sump pump that NEVER runs in the center of the floor unless we have really bad rain like last week in the northeast - and that has only happened twice since we owned the house in 9 years. The sump has two levels of holes feeding it but no gaps at the edge of the wall, like a "french drain" type of setup, so my assumption is they are run right out to the edge and out to the outside dirt to keep the foundation blocks dry (???)
My question is, can someone give me an estimate to repair/replace this floor because it has very long cracks in a few areas and it is not level (pitched to the sump, but uneven like if frost heave happened to one side and not the other). Can the floor be "jacked up" and a new floor poured in? What happens to the foundation block at that time?
Also, I plan on replacing the front concrete/block steps with a molded/cast concrete form. Since the area of block separation is where the steps are, could that procedure of pumping in concrete (hydraulic jacking I think) to lift sunken sidewalks be used to lift the lower course of block back up? I believe the damage may have been caused by improper gutter drainage (away from the house).
Yes--Someone can give you an estimate!!!
Call a few local concrete/basement water proofing contractors---Get their suggestions and prices.
Prices vary so much by region that no one here could even begin to guess,The same exact work in Manhattan New York--or Manhattan Kansas might well be quite different.--Mike--

Statistics aren't on 'global warming' scientists' side
By John Curtis - Baywood Park
I read with dismay the article about El Niño and the worn-out claims of manmade global warming, which simply is not true ("Rain on the brain," July 31). When will the journalists do their job and properly research this? I know David Hovde and respect him a great deal. He is one of the finest in his field I've known and has a keen sense for forecasting, but I do not agree about claims of the mentioned meteorological groups.
The statistics are on my side. My background in climatology and meteorology, and especially research, has shown reliable data and chronological statistics, which bring a more balanced perspective instead of junk science by ignorant people who hold a faulty "consensus." Dig a little deeper; you find it is full of holes and deceit. Anyone remember the emails? The fact is our pattern is cyclic and has been since reliable data has been recorded. There are several laws of physics that would have to be violated to cause such warming, and it has not happened and can't happen no matter how much the so-called scientists spin and lie about it.

Kangol - Western & Cowboy Hats
A Leader in Style and Fashion
Since 1938 Kangol has been a trendsetter in the headwear industry. Initially a beret manufacturer in England, this company quickly found itself in high demand. With every style that Kangol produces comes a story, helping to shape the look and feel of each hat.
One of the most popular and recognizable styles, the Kangol 504, has remained a classic example of Kangol's unique ability to take the ivy cap shape and give it a variety of interpretations. Another example of this is Kangol's army cap selection, which is quickly becoming a favorite of hip-hop stars like Eminem. These casual hats come in many fabrics and patterns, ensuring a design for every taste in style.
Every cowboy or cowgirl needs that perfect companion along for the ride; a great-looking, sturdy western hat! We have an amazing selection of hats made with tough materials like beaver felt, rabbit fur, wool, and straw. The process that it takes to produce these fine hats is one that has hardly changed over time, with hands on craftsmanship and incredible attention to detail. Our westerns come in a variety of trim options ranging from straightforward and simple to eye-catching and bold. Get the brim shape that suits your face structure, select the right color, and choose the right crown -including Cattleman, Hondo, Cassidy, and more. Whether you're working on the range, competing at the rodeo, or showing your horses, we've got the styles you need... and our brands like Bailey Western and Eddy Bros are second-to-none when it comes to superb quality western headwear.
There are no products matching the selection.

South Korea cuts imports of Iranian crude oil by about twenty percent, compared to last year's imports during the same period, in an effort to avoid sanctions by the US.
In early December 2012, the US
180-day waivers on Iran sanctions to China, India and South Korea after they agreed to cut oil purchase from the Islamic country. Iran is pressured by the US, Israel and the EU to abandon its atomic program. The West believes the program is being used to develop nuclear weapons, a claim that Iran vehemently denies.
Under the agreement with the US, South Korea, one of Iran's biggest oil buyers, will import approximately 37,000 barrels of Iranian oil per day less compared to the period December 2011 to May 2012. Seoul said it would also "significantly reduce" its imports of Iranian liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
According to the US Energy Information Administration, in September and October 2012 Iran's crude oil production fell by 1 million barrels per day compared to the same time last year.

Youth Affairs Minister Paula Bennett broke young hearts after a paperwork error saw her announce the wrong winner at a prestigious school acting competition.
Bennett told a large crowd at the ASB Theatre that Cambridge school St Peter's had won the night - but a helper had given her the wrong slip of paper. Auckland's St Cuthbert's were supposed to have been crowned the champions in the Auckland leg of the 2011 Stage Challenge last weekend.
Overjoyed Cambridge students mobbed Bennett on stage after one of their number was presented with the prize. About a hundred students watching on a screen in the basement of the Aotea Centre, where most of the competitors were, started jumping for joy.
"The kids were stoked," said dance teacher Caroline Gill.
But tears followed about 30 minutes later when Gill had to tell them there had been a mistake. "I had to choose my words very carefully. It was difficult because they were disappointed.
From what some of the kids said, there were a few tears. Paula ... was very apologetic and sincere. It was a genuine mistake."
The hall had emptied by the time the error was sorted and St Cuthbert's students were belatedly told of their hollow victory.
Gill said the performance from St Cuthbert's was so good that suspicions had been raised as soon as the wrong winner was announced.
"There was a little bit of chat already. Some of the parents thought something was up.
"The real top score - and deservedly so - was St Cuthbert's."
Gill said her students expressed sympathy for St Cuthbert's, who missed out on the "glory" of going on stage in front of the audience. Gill suggested a visit to St Cuthbert's by Bennett or Prime Minister John Key might be in order.
Yesterday, an apologetic Bennett welcomed that suggestion. "I think that's fair enough. I'd love to."
Bennett knew instantly something was wrong after she announced St Peter's as winners. "I turned around and saw the look on the judges' faces."
She "probably would have corrected it straight away" but the judges and organisers needed to confirm a mistake had indeed been made.
Bennett said the St Peter's students were "really understanding".
She felt very bad for the person responsible for the paperwork error, describing her as "the poor thing".
Howick College head of dance Ichiro Harada, who was at the venue for 30 minutes after St Peter's were announced winners, said he was not aware until Monday an error had been made. "As far as I know there was no announcement. I heard about it on Monday. I only heard from some of the students and from Facebook."
Stage Challenge communications assistant Whetu Silver said Bennett was given a cue card with the wrong school written on it.
"There was no way of rectifying it on stage. As soon as the winner was announced the curtain went down."
