Rupee trades at record low to dollar
KARACHI: The rupee traded at a record low of 90.35 on Wednesday because of increased import payments and a deteriorating economic outlook, dealers said.
"In addition to weak external account data, growing political uncertainty will exacerbate pressure on the rupee," said Shamila Chaudhary, analyst at Eurasia Group.
"The break with the IMF, downward trend in US-Pakistan relations, prospects of less US aid, and growing civil-military tensions within Pakistan — all weaken market confidence."
The rupee traded at its previous record low of 90.20 on Tuesday and lost 0.17 percent in one day. –Agencies

Olds 425
Hello All,
I have just aquired an Olds 425 "A" casting (1965 I think), and was wondering whether it is worth doing over to get some serious ponies out of. If it is possible, who, how and where? The problem is that I reside in South Africa so will have to import everything from the States. Any suggestions?

Olds guys need to wright you on this because im really a chevy guy, but i beleave it would be a exspensive motor to build up. why dont you order one of those big books from PAW and get a idea of cost from that. Good luck 7Litreclub!
olds guy here to help. I've got a 72 cutlas with a 455. mildly built. The 425 for all intents and purposes is a very good engine. Especially a block produced from the late sixties. in most cases a built 425 will run neck to neck with it's 455 counterpart. Two of the most valuable resources for the olds power crowd would be to check out two companies website's. www.mondellotwister.com and www.dickmillerracing.com. Joe Mondello and Dick Miller are probably the two premier engine builders out there for olds engines. Legends in the drag circles for there olds powered race teams. Seen them do a lot of 425 build ups. Not quite sure what your looking to do, but hope these resources might help.
The 425 will run neck-and-neck with a 455, and in many cases, may run quicker. Lots of folks don't know that. The very best Olds performance site on the internet is realoldspower.com There are many members there running 9-second cars, with a couple in the 8's, and a couple dragsters in the low 7's. These guys know their stuff...
Along with the other guys the 425 is a block accually worth looking at. I know Hurst Hairy Olds made his car with the 2 engines with two 425 blocks. Those were however supercharged but hey if it worked for him who knows what the possibilities are.
In my opinion the 425" is one of the best Olds engines for high performance applications. The stroke is shorter than the 455", which gives it just a tick more rpm capability. Since valve size and port size and shape is a limiting factor with Olds heads the 425" seems just the right size for the stock heads. We used to build a lot of 425" Olds engines for flatbottom boats, both jet and v-drive applications. These engines are hard to beat for torque output at low and mid-range rpm.
Hop on over to realoldspower.com
I had a '67 Delta Custom 10.25:1 4bbl and it was the single best running car I've ever had. The cranks on those are all forged, and all the blocks display top-notch metallurgy.
The 425s take different cams that a 455. Mondello is your best place to go. If you ant to get wild, check the lifter diameter: if it takes the big lifters (.951?), you can swap in a set of Diesel or late 307 roller lifters and use a roller cam.
Godd luck,
Rocket Powered

BeschreibungFive years ago Amanda Pierce was excitedly preparing to marry her college sweetheart. She and Jeffrey had already battled through sickness and health, although their lives were certainly more richer than poorer as Amanda was set to inherit her father's successful garment company. Then Amanda disappeared the night of her bachelorette party. In present-day New York City, Laurie Moran realizes a missing bride is the perfect cold case for her 'Under Suspicion' television series to investigate. By recreating the night of the disappearance at the wedding's Florida resort with Amanda's friends and family, Laurie hopes to find the same success solving the cases featured in the series' first episodes. With Amanda's former fiancé now married to a bridesmaid, and a jealous sister, playboy groomsmen, and rumors about the "beloved" bride herself, Laurie and Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley quickly realize everyone has their own theory about why Amanda disappeared into thin air. One thing is certain, whoever was behind Amanda's vanishing plans to keep the truth hidden "til death do they part"...

Pope Francis and new Anglican leader meet, note differences
By Catherine Hornby
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis and the new head of the world's Anglicans acknowledged deep differences over issues ranging from gay rights to women priests but pledged to seek unity when they met on Friday for the first time since both took office in March.
Relations between the Catholic and Anglican churches have been strained for years, especially over Anglican ordination of women as priests, and the meeting at the Vatican was billed as an opportunity to reduce tensions.
Welcoming Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby to the Vatican, Francis called for Christians to work together to protect the "foundations of society" such as respect for human life and the institution of the family built on marriage.
Francis was inaugurated as the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics on March 19, following Benedict's abdication, and just two days before Welby officially took over from Rowan Williams as head of the 80-million-strong Anglican Communion.
Welby said on Friday he hoped the proximity of the two leaders' inaugurations would "serve the reconciliation of the world and the Church", while noting the difficulties ahead.
"The journey is testing and we cannot be unaware that differences exist about how we bring the Christian faith to bear on the challenges thrown up by modern society," he said.
Anglican ordination of women is a thorny issue between the two Churches, with the Vatican firmly opposed to female priests, and attempts by Francis' predecessor Benedict to woo disaffected Anglicans back to Catholicism has caused more friction.
In 2009, Benedict decreed that Anglicans who feel their Church had become too liberal could find a home in Catholicism in a parallel hierarchy that allows them to keep some of their traditions, such as parts of the Anglican liturgy and the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Continued...

Coolant lasts just 3 years?? York.
Just started 3rd summer season on new York 1.5 ton unit. Distance from AC/condensor to air handler in the attic is about 25 feet of pipe. Started AC yesterday (this will be just the 3rd summer on this unit) and its only blowing 76 degrees.
York is sending a local guy to come take a look, are they going to tell me that my coolant needs a refresh after just 2 full summers? does a warranty cover the coolant?
Or could it be something else?
Coolant/Refrigerant should last forever if it don't leak out it should not wear out.
Now you could have a leak somewhere then it has to be repaired and recharged with Refrigerant.
Most warranty's are for 1 year parts and labor with 5/10 on the compressor only.
Good luck
if the tech doesn't do a nitrogen test to 300 PSI and check all the connections and find the leak he is by CFC ruling no allowed to REFRESH :no:the freon.notify YORK and tell them what is going onif it is anything less then a full leak check and revac to 500 MICRONS before the freon is reinstalled.the freon leaking out especially during the running of the system is also losing droplets of refrigerant oil and the next thing to go will be the compressor.someplace on those lines there is an oil residue on a fitting were the leak is...check the insulation on the suction if you feel any oil that is your leak.
The unit doesn't hold enough refrigerant to be under any of the leak repair requirement rules or regs.
The EPA hasn't required full leak repair for several years now.
While I agee.
If it is low on charge.
A full recovery of any remaining refrigerant. And a 300 PSIG nitrogen leak check is a good thing.
You might want to tell people to be prepared to pay a large bill for this.
Most leaks can be found without recovering the charge. And then if its not a leak inside the condenser.
Pumping the charge back to the condenser.
Doing so, saves most customers money.
There is no regulation, or law against gas and go of systems containing less then 50 pounds of normal operating charge in the USA.
you can't leak check with exsisting freon in the system the customer called because the unit isn't cooling....so where are you getting the test pressure from.what plant you from.:jester:....with pumping the charge into the condenser and doing a low side leak check and hi side liquid line check.once nitrogen is intro'd into the system the charge is compremised. a good tech will check the king valve to see if there is liquid in the LL line if ot nitro will be added and the balance of the charge used for leak detection.pump the system up to 300PSI and the leak will find you...then VENT:whistling2: the test pressure and pull a VAC:thumbsup: till the tech can show the home owner 500 or lower MICRON reading to verify the leak was fixed and the system is tight for the new charge.so here for the home owner is sonme thing you can request that i want to see that reading before a new charge is installed........and time is the big concern here but putting freon in every season with that gas and go is for bushers and fly by nighters:thumbup: with the line......i check it for leakes after i topped off the charge to get you running but couldn't find a leak:huh: see you next season..its your choice homeowner?
Lot of systems have more then enough refrigerant pressure in them to check for leaks.
A system that holds 7 pounds of operating charge. Can still have 4 pounds left in it.
Which means the saturated pressure left in the system will be enough to find most leaks.
I have nothing against charging a customer several hundred dollars to find a leak.
And then what ever to fix the leak.
Plus remove the old LLFD and install a new one.
Then vacuum the system and recharge.
Depending on what company he would have come out and do that.
Anywhere from 500 to 1000 bucks if it can be brazed.
More if it takes a new part that isn't under warranty.
Gas and go, 100 to 125 bucks.
I don't care which way they do it.
But telling people that the EPA prohibits it, to make them pay for it, is stealing (theft by deception). :furious:
$500 to $1000 bucks to check for a leak on a system that is 27 months old?!?!? And a system that only gets run 3 months out of the year?
If that's true i'm going after the original installer for a piece of his arse! He didnt return initial phone calls so i'm going with a York local tech before the next 80 degree front rolls in.
But this is crazy for me to shell that amount of money out for something i still consider brand new.
So i should make sure to tell the York tech i need a diagnosis first before he whops me with a $500 bill.
Thats 500 to 1000 to repair it.
Good chance its one of the coils.
They should still be under part warranty.
But, if you didn't buy an extended labor warranty. Your responsible for the labor. Any additional parts, including refrigerant. liquid line filter drier, and misc brazing charges.
my opnions on this are from the home owners side that he should not be paying ever year for this gas/go thing....you won't tolorate this with a tire on your car you constanly had to add air to for that 32 lbs,and then having to pay .75 cents for the air:eek:.once the tech hooks his guages up to your system he is married to it till it is fixed.you want to save money before they come in check the entire copper line runout for oil residue on all the soldered/brazed fittings,and rotor locks into the condenser and air handler.if you can access the air handler coil check the copper capillaries from the liquid line and metering device.sure it is time spent and who pays for it is always a GRAY:huh: area.then does the original contractor have it on record from day 1 the unit pulled down to a 250/500 Micron test before charging and start-up.the size of the charge and whats left isn't enough to leak check it running system with a JUMP on the LP:wink: to get it to run then if its R-22 your looking at 40-50PSI suction with a tops 175 PSI head and standing 110 PSI unit off:no: compared to a 300 nitro test followed up by a VAC check it is all time $$$$$$$ somebody needs to pay and it shouldn't be the home owner.if the homeowner calls the original installer and tells him he wants a nitro/vac test and eat the freon lost since it was installed:laughing:on the entire system his response is going to be "who is going to pay me to do that" if the tech pulls a VAC and can't get it below 5000 microns there is a leak in the system..if the system is tight the vac will drop like a rock within 1 hour of running....QUESTION what freon is in your system?in the commercial side of the HVAC field you can't add more then 9% of the total charge on a system without looking for a leak because you will be back as you experienced!
Might be a coil that is under warranty.
But. 1 year labor warranty is gone.
The home owner wil now pay labor, refrigerant, and LLFD charges.
The customer may try and demand something. But, companies don't always bend to what a customer demands.
Any commercial unit with a receiver, cacn lose a lot more then 9% a year and still cool.
There isn't even a requirement to repair a commercial or industrial leak to a no leak state.
While personally, I would want the leak fixed/repaired.
You might want to tell people to be ready for a big bill when you tell them everything that should be done.
Neither of us controls what the company that person uses will do.
So remind them, they could be looking at a 1000 dollar repair.
And you wonder why people don't want to buy the extended warranty. Usually works out to about $50/yr.:huh:
here's my update. FWIW i was stood up 2 times by the locally directed York technician (well, had to leave the house after waiting 3 hours past expected arrival time.. but that's a different thread altogether.. lol..)
but anyway.. i got a friend of a friend to come over and he told me there was SOME freon left it was not totally depleted. He checked the pumps and electrical and concluded it was just a leak. A leak that took 3 years to occur so he gave me two options. 1 was a gas and go for a hundred bucks to get me running the other was a full blown leak check that would take him hours and much much more money. he said since this leak took 3 years to manifest it is probably extremely small and therefore very hard to find.
I told him to gas it up and i will check for oil on my own over the next several weeks and get back to him. If the system fails very quickly then he will come back for extensive test.
I am very satisfied paying this guy a hundred and the option of finding a drip on my own over time. I'm pleased to know there are still some good guys out there willing to stop by on a saturday for an emergency and give me options for the repair.
Thanks for the feedback here though.. it helped out alot
WOW GAs and go
GAS IN GO cost you a lot of money in the long run. A simple dye test will find a leek in just a few mins. Cost not including repair about 100.00 dollors. Then you know what has to happen. Also I would call and chew some a** about the tech not showing up. Good luck
3 years is a long time when the system is running the liquid/discharge lines can go as hi as 260 PSI with the suction running 60-80 PSI depending on the heat load within the house on a start.if you can put the time in and touch all the piping brazing/rotor locks...spray bottle with dishwasher liquid and water:wink: and narrow down the leak point its money not spent in tech time....enjoy the summer hope the posts help in directions taken with people walking in on your system

'Bearded Bandit' suspect due in court
SEEKONK — The man police believe could be the "Bearded Bandit" is scheduled to be arraigned in Taunton District Court sometime Thursday, Sept. 20. He was arrested Wednesday at the Motel 6 on Route 6A.
The case is being conducted under the jurisdiction and oversight of the Seekonk Police Department. No specific time of the arraignment has been released.
The "Bandit," who is believed to have pulled off at least eight bank heists in the Southern New England area over the last eight months, was found at the motel after East Providence Police detectives followed up on tips received about the vehicles possibly used in committing the crimes. Police have not yet released his identity.
According to turnto10.com, the alleged "Bandit" suspect was arrested on charges of cocaine possession. The site is also reporting the "Bandit" has blonde hair and does not look much like the surveillance photos taken of him during various capers.
A source from East Providence said the "Bandit" is believed to have lived in the Riverside section of the city at some point recently.
(Updated, Sept. 20, 9 a.m.) Seekonk Police Department officials were being tight-lipped with details as of Thursday morning. They have yet to release any details as the investigation continues. The arraignment of the "Bandit" suspect, while still expected sometime Thursday, is still to be determined.
Sources tell The Post the process could happen at any time, depending on how cooperative the suspect is and where the evidence takes investigators. The case at some point also could be taken over by federal officials.

Owais Shah hit an unbeaten 55 to clinch victory as England reached their target of 170 with three balls remaining.
Captain Paul Collingwood made 27 and Dimitri Mascarenhas shared an unbroken 69 in 36 balls with Shah after England had lost three wickets in 14 balls.
Chris Gayle fired 61 from 37 balls and Marlon Samuels hit three big sixes but England limited the Windies valiantly.
The match was played on the same strip as used for Thursday's clash and Gayle hoped his batsmen would use it with similarly good effect when he won the toss again.
Gayle himself played a curious innings in the first match, opting to leave the first three balls, and sat in disbelief with his pads on when he was out.
But he was a different man a day later, driving the opening ball of the match from Ryan Sidebottom through the covers for four and sending the next ball to a similar area for three more.
He had scored 33 after four overs by which time partner Lendl Simmons had yet to get off the mark.
Simmons and debutant Austin Richards came into the side as Devon Smith and Shiv Chanderpaul, who scored 102 between them on Thursday, were rested.
The newcomers let the innings stall somewhat, and it needed some typically robust hitting from Samuels to revive it.
Although he failed to launch the ball out of the ground this time, there were still some memorable moments, even though he might have gone caught behind for single figures when only bowler Stuart Broad made a tentative appeal.
One hit disappeared into the second tier behind the bowler and another was so straight it ricocheted off the top of the sightscreen.
But England's performance in the field was a notable improvement on the first match, fuller length and variations of pace from the bowlers backed up by sharp out cricket and safe catching.
After Gayle top-edged to short fine-leg off Collingwood's fourth ball, the England captain made another important breakthrough in his next over when Samuels was well taken by Mascarenhas on the long-on fence.
The Windies were 144-4 after 16 overs when Sidebottom came back into the attack to take wickets in consecutive overs.
Alastair Cook took advantage of some width from Dwayne Smith in the first over of the England innings, striking two off-side boundaries.
Partner Matt Prior also cracked two fours in Ravi Rampaul's first over before Daren Powell was introduced and uprooted Cook's stumps with his fourth delivery, the first of three wickets to fall in 14 balls.
Powell, cranking up to 90mph, had a confrontation with Kevin Pietersen, who could probably have an argument on his own and needed no second invitation when the paceman placed the ball menacingly towards his own head, indicating what he intended to bowl.
Sure enough the next ball was short and Pietersen swiped at it, a thick edge just clearing the fielder at mid-wicket.
But Pietersen made only 19 before he was deceived by Darren Sammy and chipped a simple return catch.
Shah, employing a range of improvised strokes against the slower bowlers, including a sweep somehow angled over his left shoulder, took 16 in an over from Samuels to reduce to deficit to 40 from 24 balls.
Two more bold strokes brought two more boundaries in the next over and Shah's adventurous approach with the impressive Mascarenhas whittled the margin down to six from six.
Gayle again sprang a surprise by bringing himself on for the final over, having not bowled at all previously in the series.
He was unable to prevent England from victory as a wide delivery fired down the leg-side provided the winning runs.

From Canal Street to Houston Street, from Lafayette to the Hudson River.
Many of SoHo's expansive apartments were built in the 19th Century, when the use of cast iron for building fronts allowed for larger windows than traditional brick buildings. The broad windows were used to shed light on factories and offices, which were then converted into the sun-bathed SoHo co-op and condo lofts we know today. In fact, the historic district in SoHo has the largest concentration of cast-iron architecture anywhere in the world, though SoHo's manufacturers have given way to artists, fashion designers and Wall Street types seeking light and space in their apartments.

text: Yeah. I wonder why they didn't just flat out say that she wouldn't do any more interviews. May as well tell them no straight up rather than try to "avoid" them.What I think is telling is that the reporters were told she wouldn't be at the rink so she couldn't meet with them yet she was there. That, in and of itself, is wrong of her team. Not her, mind you, but her team. They should have just told the media Sasha wouldn't be giving interviews anymore.

Bathroom vanity on top?
1 Attachment(s)
We are remodelling our bathroom. the old vanity was an old style with a recessed kick plate. It sat directly on the subfloor and the flooring butted up to it and was siliconed along the edge. Our new vanity does not have legs like some of the new ones do. It sits flat on the floor but the base is not recessed, rather it looks like it has baseboard all around it. My wife says it looks more like a piece of furniture. Do I put the fooring under the vanity like everywhere else in the house where the baseboard is on top of the flooring, or do I but the flooring up to the vanity. We are removing all the old flooring.
I would place the vanity on top for a better finished-look.
I hope you guys don't regret not having a traditional toe-kick recess, I think you are going to repeatedly stub your toes on that vanity. You may need to wear steel toe boots while in the bathroom.:)
Just out of curiousity, what kind of flooring?
Planning on going with Starloc Aspen Slate Altura as far as flooring. My wife too thought it should go on top. Guess that is what will happen. I figure we will stub our bare toes too, but just finding a 60 inch vanity is almost impossible, and we did like the style of this one.
thanks guys.
Floating vinyl plank. Don't know much about that brand. Better check the installation rules. Most floating floors say no cabinets on top.
good hint, I will double check:thumbsup:
Now it's a "floating" floor.:)
the question is whether it is bouyant enough to hold up the vanity:) I spoke to starloc today, and just as rusty suggested they do NOt want the vanity on top of the floating floor. thanks for the heads up Rusty. That settles the question. Thats all folks.
Looks like you have your answer. Good luck!:)

2016 BMW 5-Series xDrive28i for $45,600
View 17 more BMW 5-Series listings.
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. -- Truth be told, the outgoing Cadillac CTS was parent General Motors' best car.
It wasn't "best" in the fastest, most fuel-efficient or most practical sense. No, I mean "best" as in "most competitive." So let's just say expectations were high during the rollout of the new third-generation 2014 Cadillac CTS mid-sized luxury sedan here in sunny California.
As one of the first vehicles to arrive as part of Cadillac's so-called Art & Science design renaissance, the original 2003 CTS sedan was groundbreaking for GM. While rival American luxury brand Lincoln was saddled with having to pretty-up mainstream Ford vehicles, GM spent big bucks on making Cadillac competitive with the class-leading Germans, blessing the CTS with a unique, rear-wheel-drive platform, plenty of NÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂúrburgring track time and edgy styling.
The small Caddy was a success. So much so that the second-generation 2008 CTS became the "best" car in GM's garage, highlighted by the addition of all-wheel drive (a must-have with Canadian luxury buyers), coupe and wagon models, and an interior that rivalled the best in the class. So how has Cadillac made the third-gen CTS better than the "best"?
For starters, the five-passenger, four-door 2014 CTS sedan (a coupe is likely, no word on the return of the wagon, though) is easier to define in the marketplace. As Cadillac's entry-level offering, the first two generations of CTS were priced like compacts but were sized larger. With the arrival of the compact ATS, the 2014 CTS becomes a true mid-size sedan. Sharing similar dimensions with the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the 2014 CTS is longer overall and has a longer wheelbase than before.
In regard to fit and finish, the 2014 CTS sedan's interior picks up where the last model left off and ups the ante with more personalization options. Eight colour schemes and four choices of dash and door-panel trim can be combined infinitely.
The 2014 CTS's larger proportions suggest rear passengers will be coddled more, and they are. The extra wheelbase adds legroom, and the rear seats are scooped out to tuck passenger noggins underneath the newly lowered roofline.
Luxury buyers expect the latest in safety tech, and the 2014 CTS doesn't disappoint. A driver awareness package adds Cadillac's patented safety alert seat system (it vibrates the driver's seat for blind spot or rear backup collision warnings). The new CTS also gets GM's first application of "automatic safety belt-tightening" that takes slack out of the belts when buckled and adjusts while on the move.
The only stain on the new CTS interior is Cadillac's CUE infotainment system. Centred on an eight-inch, high-resolution colour touchscreen, its haptic feedback controls are inconsistent in use, and the overall design seems as if Cadillac designers were being different for the sake of being different. Hopefully a redesign is in the works.
Until the eight-cylinder, high-performance CTS-V shows up next year, the 2014 models can be had with three engines, rear- or all-wheel drive and either six- or eight-speed automatic gearboxes.
Rated at 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, the base model CTS's turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder gas engine comes with rear- or optional all-wheel drive and a six-speed autobox. Next up is a naturally aspirated 3.6L six-cylinder with 321 hp and 20 fewer lb.-ft. than the blown four. Sitting at the top of the range is the twin-turbo six-cylinder CTS Vsport. It comes with the eight-speed automatic transmission only, rear-wheel drive with an electronic slip rear differential and is rated at a healthy 420 hp and 430 lb.-ft. of torque.
Aiming to be the lightest sedan in its class, the 2014 CTS has many lightweight features -- such as aluminum doors -- that also create a near-50/50 weight distribution. As a result, Cadillac says the new CTS weighs less overall than the outgoing version and about 90 kilograms less than a BMW 528i.
Using a version of the smaller ATS's suspension setup, and GM's excellent three-mode Magnetic Ride Control, the 2014 CTS leans toward the "sport" side of the "luxury/sport" sedan equation on the road. Switch the console-mounted mode selector from Touring to Sport or Track in the CTS Vsport, for instance, and the eight-speed auto shifts more quickly, throttle response is sharper, steering gets less boost for more feel and the ride is firmer for less chassis roll in corners.
Whether it was the top-line Vsport or the not-so-base model 2.0T, the 2014 CTS feels much smaller when being driven hard than its mid-size dimensions suggest. The CTS's electric steering with variable assist delivers a good amount of off-centre push-back, while not reacting too much to disruptions at pavement level.
Canadian pricing wasn't available at this event. But in the U.S., 2014 CTS MSRPs range from $46,025 for the 2.0T to a little over $60,000 for the Vsport. You'll find comparably equipped rivals such as the Audi A6, BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class cost about $10,000 more overall.
I'm not sure what else Cadillac can do to pry the hands of luxury car buyers from the wheels of their German luxury sedans. But building on the critical success of last year's BMW 3-Series-challenging ATS sedan, the new 2014 CTS not only continues as GM's "best" car, it now has enough of the right stuff to challenge for "best in class."

I have an external 1.5 terabyte WD HD. I use it to backup data from my Toshiba Laptop running Windows 8. I leave the HD plugged in all the time.
The hard drive tries to AUTORUN several times a day ... not just when I plug it in the USB port initially. I can always exit but it gets annoying.
How can I stop it from doing this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Since Win8's early builds have only been released to select partners, I'm assuming you meant Win7. I don't think WD claims the drive is compatable with Win8 at the moment.
It depends what's autorunning, and what model you have, as to what can be done about it.
We need more information.
Go to your control panel and make sure that you're either in large icon view or all control panel items view. Youll see an option called AutoPlay so you can fine tune how Windows react to the drive.
However, what you describe is NOT normal, unless your computer's AutoPlay is deeply messed up, then the drive is loosing connection randomly then connecting again, prompting the AutoPlay again.
Try on a desktop computer or check if drive access is broken just a second before the AutoPlays shows again, aslo try anothe USB cable.

Excellent 4.3 /5 from 10 reviews
Everything about this hotel is superb. As a huge devoter of architecture and design, this is exceeding all my expectations. No detail has been forgotten, even the jug the fresh orange juice is served in to the replenishment of the breakfast spread. Staff are happy to cater to your every need. They are discrete, calm and always greeting you with a smile. Rooms are crisp white, bedsheets felt like cashmere. The food at the hotel restaurant is great, there is absolutely nothing that I can fault about this place. It was my friend's birthday and they had organised a birthday cake which was so thoughtful. If I die, i hope it looks and has the sensibility of Estalagem
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Hey everyone. Proud owner of a 2007 rex wagon, love the wagons! Satin white pearl... Little advise: never buy a white car unless you have the $$$$ to get it detailed every 2 weeks.
Especially if you live in Canada.
I have so many questions, so let's start with one that goes to the wallet: when is the turbo spooling in these babies, just want to know if I can shift before the turbo really starts to haul-in the old gas? (fuel consumption question)
Thanks folks.

I was put on this medicine and within a week I was stumbling around, couldn't speak correctly , and couldnt take care of myself. I live in Scottsdaleband my mother in OKC and she could tell something was majorly wrong. She thought I had Parkinson's! We finally figured out the problem. As for me, I knew something was wrong with me, but was unable to process it cognitively or emotionally. This is a very Dangerous medication! It has severe cognitive, emotional, and physical side effects. This totally explains Kim's behavior. I'm really sorry you both had to go through this.

Vitamin D Improves Bone Loss Due to Epilepsy Drugs
(BlackDoctor.org) — It's well known that, taken for long periods, anti-epilepsy drugs can lead to brittle bones. Now, researchers have shown that high-dose vitamin D therapy significantly improves bone mineral density in this situation.
Dr. Ghada El-Hajj Fuleihan from American University of Beirut Medical Center, and colleagues compared the effects of low-dose and high-dose vitamin D on bone mineral density in 72 adults and 78 children and adolescents taking antiepilepsy medications. The low dose consisted of 400 IU (international units) per day, and the high dose was 2000 IU per day for children and 4000 IU daily for adults.
At the start of the study, 34 percent of the adults were in the deficient range of vitamin D levels and 46 percent were in the insufficient range, the investigators report in the medical journal Neurology. Among children, the corresponding figures were 18 percent and 44 percent.
Bone mineral density was below normal in the adults, but in the children and adolescents it was still in the normal range.
After treatment, none of the adults and only a few of the children in the high-dose group still had vitamin D deficiency, and relatively few had vitamin D insufficiency, the researchers report.

This is definately true for principle components analysis:
*------------- begin example --------------------
sysuse auto, clear
pca weight price rep78 turn length displacement
predict sc1 sc2 sc3
corr sc*
reg mpg sc*
reg mpg sc1
*-------------- end example ---------------------
The way I keep pca and factor analysis apart is that pca
is more "mechanical" (It finds orthogonal vectors) while
factor analysis is more "theoretical" (there is a latent
variable influencing the observed variables). I don't
use either of these very often, so I need those simple
rules of thumb. Those who use it more often can
probably say much more about this.
Hope this helps,

The Durbin Amendment and First District Banks
This analysis investigates if the debit card interchange fee regulation section of the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank act) had an impact on debit card interchange revenue for community banks and large banks. The Durbin Amendment reduced the fees that large banks could collect on debit-card purchases, which some suggested would significantly limit bank revenue. This preliminary analysis indicates that the Durbin Amendment did not have a significant impact on interchange revenue for smaller/community banks, but among large banks interchange revenue did decline following implementation of the regulation. That said, the sample used, the lack of interchange data prior to the Durbin Amendment, and the fact that it was implemented during the recovery period after a recession make identification of the amendment's short-term effects difficult.

About Depression
In my research for writing, I come across a number of health articles related to this site – these are ones about depression.
From the National Institutes of Health:
An easy-to-read booklet on depression in women that explains what it is, when it starts, how long it lasts, and how to get help
Do you feel very tired, helpless, and hopeless? Are you sad most of the time, and take no pleasure in your family, friends, or hobbies? Are you having trouble working, sleeping, eating, and functioning? Have you felt this way for a long time?
If so, you may have depression.

How Serotonin Works: Findings Point to New Treatments for Schizophrenia and Depression
From Science Daily
Scripps Research Institute scientists have shown for the first time that the neurotransmitter serotonin uses a specialized signaling pathway to mediate biological functions that are distinct from the signaling pathways used by hallucinogenic substances. The new findings could have a profound effect on the development of new therapies for a number of disorders, including schizophrenia and depression.

The variety of his work makes Phil Dadson really special. The differing areas of the new Trish Clark Gallery provide an ideal setting for the intermedia aspects of his achievements. The octagonal shape of the ceiling inspired a new work called Octet. Eight elegant red horns with speakers hang in a ring under the centre. Every few minutes they erupt with sound effects.
Sound is a large part of Dadson's practice. He has invented some instruments and his From Scratch percussive orchestra has been acclaimed here and overseas for decades. A 1994 film of a work for three players called Pacific 3,2,1, which was composed in 1982, is shown here as a video. Close to Polynesian drumming, its compelling rhythms are beaten out on tuned plastic downpipes. The output of energy needed by the players is part of its quality.
That film was directed by Gregor Nicholas. Videos made by Dadson himself also have special visual qualities. Some are close to home. Between Worlds follows a format he has used several times. The screen is divided by a V-shape extending down from the top like the prow of a boat. Sometimes it is a boat travelling over water.
At other times it complements the water and land with the sky. This one features the harbour and land near Hobsonville, with glimpses of planes in the background. The effect is visually fascinating and a plea for conservation of the beauty of harbour vistas.
Most spectacular of all, screened large on the gallery wall, is material recorded in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The camera's eye travels over the wide edge of a lake with snowy mountains in the distance. The lake is dry and the mud has broken into a crazed, irregular pattern. Close shots turn cracks into an abyss and a sudden inversion makes them the ceiling of a monstrous cave.
Eye, paper, hand, ink and wind all play a part in a typically original work of the interaction between people and nature in a recent work called January on 31 sheets of Japanese paper. Every day for a month coloured ink was placed on the paper to allow the wind to push it about. Seen as a group, the work of the wind is extraordinary. The ink ravels and spreads like the delta of a river and at times changes direction abruptly. Thirty images linked together, plus one shown separately, make a spread of unique documents, which have colour, grace and power. The show is a tribute to the unceasing invention of its maker.
That there is still place for traditional skills of drawing and painting is seen in the work of Michael Hight at the Gow Langsford Gallery in Lorne St. The show is the artist at his idiosyncratic and puzzling best. His careful and precise paintwork is used to create tableau against a dark background. His command over texture and materials can be seen in Hikurangi where three beekeepers (Hight has always been fascinated by beehives) work inside a construction of corrugated iron roughly shaped like a boat crudely nailed together. It would never float. In the middle of the structure is a chunk of rocky hill of the sort found near Hikurangi in the north. The reference may be to a place, once prosperous, now less so, but where people still toil to useful purpose.
The largest work, Crossing the Line: Waihou, is widely open to interpretation. It contains faces characterised as portraits, though one figure wears an elaborate carnival mask and rides an improvised horse made by two men. A woman wears a delicately painted veil. The men wear splendid boots. Some rite of passage from truth to masquerade is suggested.
It makes a fascinating show open to speculation and wonder.
The two shows that make up the exhibition at Orexart have fewer levels of meaning. Dylan Lind paints vigorously with big dashes of coloured paint in complete turmoil shot through with patches of black. The works convey a sense of crisis. In some ways it is resolved by a big heap of wooden pallets combined with geometrical forms painted with the national colours of Venezuela. The paintings are images of political turmoil yet they are broad enough to include any emotional struggle.
Margaret Aull shares the exhibition with wood on the floor, chips from a series of carved masks. These are traditional Maori forms painted white. Racial mixtures are part of the other works in her show that are combinations of painting and collage. The Gods Must Be Crazy has a face cut and collaged to indicate cultural confusion. This confusion is best resolved in Matanui where the circular form concentrates the conflict.
At the galleries
What: Parallel Harmonies by Phil Dadson
Where and when: Trish Clark Gallery, 1 Bowen Ave, to July 26
TJ says: Famous works, plus recent new pieces, make up the sound and sight panorama of the widely admired processes of influential teacher and artist.
What: Crossing the Line by Michael Hight
Where and when: Gow Langsford Gallery, 26 Lorne St, to July 19
TJ says: With hyper-real images looming out of the dark, Hight creates intense situations linked to the land but with the strangeness of dreams.
What: Logic and Reason by Dylan Lind; painting and carving by Margaret Aull
Where and when: Orexart, 15 Putiki St, Arch Hill, to July 12
TJ says: Two shows of committed work, each reflecting conflict, both political and personal.

New Year's Resolution: Save More Money
So, you're not the best at saving. You can admit it. You intend well enough when you sit down and say you're going to save money. But then things happen, and you have this cost and this cost, and maybe you spend a little more than you should. Before you know it you've saved less than you wanted, or worst case, spent more than you saved.
Well, FNB Fox Valley is here to help with a few ways you can motivate yourself to save more money.
Recognize it doesn't take a lot- saving is a long process that takes time. You don't have to deposit 50 percent of your income every month to be successful. Consistent savings out of every check, 10-12 percent, will help you get your savings going.
Pay yourself first- the first thing you should do with every paycheck is have 10-12 percent of it go to your savings account automatically. You can never miss the money if you never "have" it.
Cut Costs and Save the Surplus- cut your spending in certain areas of your budget and put them away in your savings account.
Contribute more to your 401(k)- especially if your employer matches your contributions. In most situations this money comes out pre-tax.
Track your finances- programs like Mint.com are free and allow you to track all aspects of your finances, including keeping an eye on your budget.
Pay off credit card debt- this sounds like spending money, but you're actually saving money. The longer you make minimum payments, the more interest you end up paying in the long run.
Pretend your paycheck is lower than it is- by thinking you have less money than you actually do, you'll instinctively use less, meaning you save more.
Prioritize saving money- it's simple: if you make it a passion to save money and create an emotional attachment to saving, you will act in a way that helps you save money in every situation.
We hope these tips help you to achieve your goal of saving more money in the New Year. If you need help with your savings goal, FNB Fox Valley would be glad to help. Just get in touch with us at any of our locations today!
