15725 km update:
Made a 800 km round trip to Kuala Lumpur(KL), and the car started jerking after first 300 kms. Went to KL dealer and they changed the spark plugs and charged me for it. I was furious! I told them that I have a 300,000 km Berlingo, which I only changed the spark plugs once. How can spark plugs give problems after only 15,000 kms?
Returned home safely that same evening, but next morning the engine light turns on and I get a message that the engine needs repair. A revisit to the local service centre shows a faulty high pressure fuel pump. This was then changed under warranty. The car is running fine now. Glad that the fuel pump fault was detected during the warranty period.
30th Apr 2013, 20:35
33,000 km update :
30,000 km - Original battery replaced. The car would not start, and the error message that appeared did not say weak battery, but something like the ESP was disabled. The battery was not covered after 20,000 km apparently. Shame.
Finally managed to get the wheels balanced to perfection after changing to another tyre centre. The car is just brilliant now. No more more judders between 120-125 km/h.
Engine is superb. Quiet and torquey, it seems to like cruising at 200 km/h. Very composed at high speeds, the big tyres make a huge difference. To date, no complaints about the gearbox, but then I am not a traffic light burnout driver.
Chipped windscreen to be replaced next week. Insured for RM 4000, and the cost to replace it is under RM 3000. I have protective anti-smash tint, so that would incur additional costs, but still under the insured amount.
A little disappointed with the battery, but I guess I have been playing around with the welcome home lights with long delays etc. Cutting down on using that stuff. Let's see how long the new battery lasts.
Overall, for the cost of purchase and the resulting performance, fun factor and sheer road presence, this DS4 has been outstanding to date. The Jabber rear doors are far out!

40,400 kms update.
The car is running fine with no issues. Had a knock from behind last week. A domino type accident involving 4 vehicles, me being the first car; I was hit from behind. The damage is hardly noticeable, but I am claiming 3rd party as there are a couple of puncture holes in my bumper, and the rear lights on the hatch have popped out slightly.
The last vehicle (a 4wd Pajero) piled into the rear of a truck, which catapulted into the car that eventually crashed into mine. The freaking traffic police were issuing summonses just beside us, and my guess is that the Pajero driver had his eyes on the police when he crashed into the 5 tonner.

BENEATH a thick South-East Asian jungle canopy lie enormous ruins, even more impressive than others already on display. That, at any rate, is what some archaeologists and other experts believe.
An opposing view is that this is wishful thinking - and that, rather than subscribing to what a guide calls "buried treasure fantasies", we should savour the awesome complexes that have already been restored.
I'm in the world's most populous Muslim nation, Indonesia - where, on the outskirts of the teeming Javanese city of Yogyakarta, not one but two spectacular sets of ancient ruins attract tourists in growing numbers.
What's more, neither set of ruins is Islamic: one is Buddhist, the other Hindu.
But then, this is Indonesia, which has a long and proud tradition of religious tolerance.
Best-known of the pair is Borobudur, popping like a volcano from jungly surrounds and arguably as wondrous as Asia's other famed relics: Cambodia's Angkor Wat, Sri Lanka's ancient cities and a sprawl of centuries-old edifices near Myanmar's Bagan.
It's early morning when I wander through this vast 1100-year-old stone structure - exploring lotus-shaped stupas within larger stupas, stopping to admire intricate bas relief illustrations on stone walls and gazing out into mist-shrouded jungle.
An hour's drive from this Buddhist marvel is one more of Indonesia's historic gems, honouring another great religion: Hinduism.
Prambanan, a temple complex built about a century before Borobudur, is a much-visited destination for Indonesian domestic tourists but remains unknown to most foreigners because it is overshadowed by the Buddhist structure.
According to local tourism officials, many visitors arrive unaware of Prambanan's existence. However, increasing numbers of Australians are hearing about it and visiting.
This pair of World Heritage-listed complexes - monuments to faiths followed before Islam displaced them - are the most easily accessed from Australia of Asia's grand temple groupings. It's an easy side-trip from Bali.
Two mornings disappear effortlessly after I leave my hotel in nearby Yogyakarta - one of Indonesia's major cities - and ramble through these complexes.
Yogyakarta has numerous good hotels and restaurants, modern shopping centres and traditional markets.
Bustling Jalan Malioboro, Yogyakarta's main thoroughfare, is a long and noisy street crammed with traffic, people, malls and hundreds of cheek-by-jowl small shops selling some of South-East Asia's least expensive fashions.
Examples of Dutch colonial architecture survive. Andongs (horse-drawn carts) thread their way along streets but these days are used mainly by foreign tourists expected to haggle aggressively. Domestic tourists generally opt for modern taxis or wander along Jalan Malioboro on foot.
The street's edges are cluttered with stalls mostly selling the same stock and bargaining is the norm.
Hunger-inducing aromas drift from restaurants - particularly those selling spicy nasi Padang cuisine, originally from Sumatra but now with a national following.
Playing a key role in Dutch-ruled Indonesia's campaign for independence, Yogyakarta and its environs are the heartland of Javanese culture. Batik and silverware workshops dot the city, as do art galleries. Fortunately, many are grouped together, easing pedestrian exploration.
Wayang puppets are sought-after souvenirs (with good examples sold at the city's many puppetry schools). Many tourist itineraries include optional gamelan music performances, Javanese classical dancing or Ramayana ballet for which Yogyakarta is particularly renowned.
However, the main reason most visitors come is Borobudur - and, increasingly, Prambanan. Drives to these temple sites pass through central Javanese farmland and pretty rural villages.
Borobudur - built on a 200sq m base - is the biggest Buddhist sacred site on earth and older than many of the holy places at Cambodia's Angkor Wat.
Pyramid-like, its five levels symbolise various aspects of Buddhism, with these illustrated by elaborate carvings. Writers have described it as a guidebook-in-stone to Mahayana Buddhism. The complex resembles a mandala (a circular Buddhist design that symbolises the universe). Its construction required thousands of labourers, though whether these were exceptionally devout volunteers or hapless slaves is still hotly debated. Talented carvers and other skilled craftsmen laboured for decades to create Borobudur's intricate and ornate artwork.
But Borobudur gradually fell into disuse and neglect. All but forgotten and partly collapsed, it was largely covered by volcanic ash until the 19th century when successive restoration projects began, in the end bringing it to its present state.
Similar methods to those used at Cambodia's Angkor Wat ensured piles of stones were carefully numbered and cleaned before being used in reconstruction supervised by archaeologists armed with old plans and drawings. Foundations and drainage were improved to lessen the risk of future collapses.
Prambanan's temples, also on Yogyakarta's outskirts, are similarly impressive.
In fact, some archaeologists describe the central Shiva Temple, 47m tall, as our planet's best example of Hindu art - surpassing revered complexes in India. Shiva is flanked by the Brahma and Vishnu temples.
More than 250 smaller but richly decorated temples are scattered nearby on farmland at the edge of the jungle.
At Prambanan, experts in restoring ancient structures tell me the jungle inevitably has more temples waiting to be unearthed. Time will tell whether they're right.
GETTING THERE: Garuda Indonesia, Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin Australia fly from Australia to Indonesia. Air Asia X is also a low-cost carrier option, connecting in Kuala Lumpur with Air Asia flights to Yogyakarta.
Various carriers operate short flights from Bali's Denpasar to Java's Yogyakarta.
STAYING THERE: Yogyakarta has many hotels in all price categories. Brands familiar to Australians include Ibis, M Gallery and Novotel, all managed by Accor Hotels. Of these, MGallery's historic Phoenix is the most memorable.
PLAYING THERE: Visit Yogyakarta's Kraton, the 250-year-old Sultan's Palace, for a dip into Javanese history. Bygone Java's architecture is highlighted in the historic Kota Gede neighbourhood, where craftsmen create silver jewellery and other distinctive works.
Yogyakarta is celebrated for Ramayana ballet, with performances held most evenings, inspired by well-known local legends.

Daisy Rock Announces Tour for Endorsed Artist, Shonen Knife
LOS ANGELES, CA – September 2010 - Daisy Rock Girl Guitars, the original girl-guitar company, is honored to announce its sponsorship of the legendary Japanese pop-punk icons, Shonen Knife's current North American tour. Despite their pop-oriented nature, the trio maintains a distinctly undergroundgarage rock sound, rooted in edgy instrumentation and D.I.Y. aesthetics.
When the band first started nearly 3 decades ago, they were something of an anomaly. They were coming in the scene at a time where all-female bands were quite rare. Shonen Knife is unique in the sense that they drew influence from the 1970s punk rock/new wave bands such as The Ramones and Buzzcocks, all while ignoring the then-rising "J-Pop" movement in their native Japan. The trio began crafting energetic rock songs rooted in rough instrumentation and do-it-yourself ethos. However, unlike traditional rebellious punk rockers, the trio emphasized positivity, using catchy, upbeat melodies and frivolous, carefree lyrics that often touched on sweets and animals.
Towards the end of their first decade as a band, Shonen Knife would earn recognition by members of the up-and-coming "alternative-rock" scene. After having a single featured on a Sub Pop compilation, they began receiving lucrative offers from several U.S. labels. By this time, many alternative-rock groups had already begun citing Shonen Knife as a favorite of theirs, thus resulting in the true D.I.Y. word-of-mouth fashion. This created significant exposure for the band, and in the decades since, has earned them a worldwide cult following. Making avid fans out of seminal '90s alternative acts such as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Redd Kross.
Supporting the release of their latest album Free Time, fans can check out Naoko (Vocals / Guitars) rockin' a Rebel Rockit Supernova "Astral Blue" and Ritsuko (Bass / Vocals) playing the Rock Candy Bass "Atomic Pink" during their tour. Fans might also have a chance to win one of several Debutante Star or Heartbreaker models signed by the band. See below for dates:

By Anna Valmero
LOS BAÑOS, LAGUNA--The University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) named a gumamela flower after Dr. Marilyn Marañon for her commitment to public service.
The hibiscus rosa-sinensis or "Marilyn D. Marañon" is a tribute to Dr. Marañon as one of the outstanding women in public service, said Dr. Pablito Magdalita, plant breeder of the Institute of Plant Breeding at the College of Agriculture of UPLB.
Marañon is a civic leader who has quietly and steadily served her constituents. Her advocacy work and cause-oriented projects complemented her husband's governance of Negros Occidental and has helped transform the once sleepy province into one of the most progressive in the country.
The plant is described "of medium height, shrubby and has a semi-erect growth habit. It is also a fast grower and a very prolific bloomer."
"Its flowers have lemon yellow petals with a white eye zone surrounded by pinkish halo," said Magdalita.
He added the flowers, which have large bloom size of 3.5 inches, are continuously produced during the year, with May to December as its peak months.
Marañon said she was "very surprised" that the flower was named after her. She is the first Negrense to have a flower named after her.
"I'm very happy and I would like this flower propagated in Negros and become a source of income for growers. I love flowers and I find it beautiful," said Marañon, adding they will order more of the flowers for the provincial livelihood program.
It is the fifth in a series of a variety of flowers named to honor women with extra ordinary services to humanity, said Dr. Luis Rey Valesco, chancellor of UPLB. Former US Ambassador to the Philippines Kristie Kenney also had a flower named after her in honor of her civic contributions to the country.
Earlier, the institute released the hibiscus "Millenium" series, composed of single petaled and prolific bloomers, as a tribute to UPLB women scientists who work for Philippine agriculture, namely Drs. Claire Baltazar, Dolores Ramirez, Gelia Castillo, and Emerita de Guzman.
Presidential Decree (PD) 729 issued on June 1975 created the IPB under the College of Agriculture in UPLB. Under Republic Act (RA) 7308, otherwise known as the Seed Industry Development Act of 1992, IPB was also identified as the lead agency for crop biotechnology research.
The Institute maintains 43,000 accessions of about 500 species, of which over 100 varieties approved by the National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) and the IPB-Germplasm Registration and Release Office.

The West Bank's Danica Patricks?
- By Sylvie SteinSylvie Stein is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
While stoppages and barricades stymie the "Freedom Flotillas" en route to Gaza, the "Speed Sisters" — an eight-woman speed-racing troupe breaking onto the driving scene in the West Bank — are revving up to shatter barriers at high speeds.
These unfearing females — comprised of Christians and Muslims from ages 18 to 39 — competed last Friday in the "Speed Test," a car race in the West Bank city of Ramallah that makes the typical NASCAR loop look like child's play. Thousands of fans attended the event to cheer on the seventy helmet-clad contestants as they navigated through treacherous obstacles, spinning loops, and serpentine pathways. And these eight women, gripping the wheels with fingerless gloves that accentuate their brightly painted fingernails, may have particularly piqued the crowd's interest: they are the first female team to enter the Speed Test. The Speed Sisters follow in the footsteps of the one female contestant — now the group's coach — who raced in the first competition five years ago.
While racing, many of the Speed Sisters wear t-shirts emblazoned with the British flag to pay homage to their sponsor, the British consulate in East Jerusalem. It is the consulate's personnel that facilitated the creation of the women's team, and its budget that subsidized about $8000 worth of training, coaches, and car refurbishing — all part of a campaign to foster development in the West Bank and other communities of Palestinian refugees. But even with a financier, the women's road to the finish line is a bumpy one: they share a donated hatch-back that pales in comparison to the other high-powered BMWs and Mercedes on the track, and they face doubt and skepticism from their male counterparts.
Regardless, this strong female showing in a male-dominated arena is inspiring in such a conservative Muslim society — especially one in which mounting political strife can often preclude a focus on social equity.

We have a strong reason to be confident about the quality of the software we write and the services we deliver. You will know it once you meet our team.
Management Team
Rajesh Bhartiya Founder, CEO
Rajesh Bhartiya has been in the engineering software industry for over 15 years now. During this period he has developed numerous software applications in the field of CAD/CAM and engineering graphics. At IIT, Mumbai, where he completed his Masters in Aerospace, he developed an aircraft cockpit simulator, which fueled his interests in 3D modeling and graphics. After completing his M.Tech he worked as a 3D graphics and geometry programmer at Geometric Software Solutions Limited (GSSL) and with Parasolid development team in Cambridge, UK.
He went to the US in 2001 and joined Tech Soft 3D (TS3D). At TS3D, he not only developed new products, but was instrumental in setting up internal processes, which benefited the company's engineering efficiency. Rajesh proved to be a very quick learner and filled many key roles ranging from core developer, new product designer, demo creator and on-site consultant to HOOPS users.
In 2005 Rajesh saw companies needing to develop advanced engineering applications but at the same time lacking the skills or resources to develop them quickly. With a vision to leverage his broad spectrum of engineering software skills to help such companies quickly find and adopt a solution he founded ProtoTech Solutions. Based in Pune, India, ProtoTech already has a rapidly growing team of engineers working on various new technologies.
He is now happily settled in Pune, India with his wife and two kids. Rajesh enjoys his time most when he is developing software. When he is not in front of his computer you will find him reading books, climbing mountains (he summited Mt. Kilimanjaro in Feb-2013) or riding his bicycle.
Shilpa Bhartiya Co-Founder, Director
Shilpa hails from Nagpur, India where she completed her Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and began her career working on network systems. After moving to the USA, she decided to pursue higher studies and enrolled for a Masters Degree in Computer Science at California State University, Hayward.
With the completion of her Master's Degree, Shilpa joined Tech Soft 3D. Her role at TS3D was initially as a support engineer, dealing directly with clients to help them get the most from their use of HOOPS. When she and her family decided to move back to India, Shilpa gave up her position at Tech Soft to become a partner in ProtoTech Solutions.
It is Shilpa's administration that keeps ProtoTech ticking. Her big, unfading smile is a great source of energy around the office. Shilpa likes to travel and enjoys watching movies. Spending time with her family is her favorite pastime.
Varun Bhartiya (Partner)
Varun has completed his B-Tech(Mechanical) and M-Tech(Intelligent Manufacturing) from IIT Madras, in 2007. He has been in engineering software Industry since then. He joined General Electric (GE) Aviation in India and developed applications for Aircraft engine blade profile designing and optimization. His contributions led him to become Debutant of the Year 2008 in GE, the very beginning of his professional career.

4 more years of the socialist bho will test the greatness of this country. Higher taxes for everyone. Higher energy cost. Higher food prices. More welfare. More regulation. More government. Socialized medicine. More divided country. Get ready folks, it's here !

Say goodbye to the conservative movement of the past, with all its out of touch with reality beliefs and ideas. The new Republican Party now being crafted by party leaders will include more blacks, Hispanics, gays and women. The dark ages of hate for minorities and the belief that women are second-class citizens, all poor people are just useless drains on society and the belief that men have the right to control a womens body is OVER. Your religion will become what the founders INTENTED, a personal matter between you and God, not a political one.
The greatness of this country will be tested not by BHO, but by its people. If we all can't learn to work together we are done. If people like you insist on constant negativity we are done. I pray we can learn to work together for the COMMON GOOD, but if people like you refuse to compromise its NOT the deal breaker it once was. The majority of Americans are sick of your attitude and the lies you tell, knowingly or out of ignorance. The majority has spoken, thats what makes a democracy. The country will be divided only if thats what YOU want, and that seems to be the case.
Compromise is the ONLY way out.

You might start leading by leaving the lies behind.
Then consider this; there are more important things than the empty praise of people. Compromise? That isn't what you want is it? You want people to abandon their faith; and to what end? So you can feel better about yourself? Take a good close look in the mirror.
#11 Nov 8, 2012
Ah yes. The true voice of the tolerant and inclusive left.
We can live with Obama if you can, but it is the attitude that you now expose that we can well do without.
#12 Nov 8, 2012
You are the problem and you don't matter anymore. Your faith is YOUR business between you and God, not the government. I have no problem with what I see in the mirror and in my heart. Ignorant bigots like you are the problem, see who gets to heaven first.
#13 Nov 8, 2012
im not the one that started with the name calling and such all i did was just post a comment and the others started in on me and i was just taking up for myself is all .
#14 Nov 8, 2012
pull your liberal head out of your ass and watch what's going to happen in about 18 months you voted for the black man so now you will have to live with the changes that will screw all of use tax payers.
#15 Nov 8, 2012
so sorry for you but i didnt vote thank you so you get your head out your ass and i guess bush did do a pretty good job for a retard not .
#16 Nov 8, 2012
i think the rich should have to pay more taxes it's only fair i think they should do away with the bush tax cuts thats one reason why this countrys in the shap it's in now i know i would not have wanted the job obama's got after bush scewed uo this country with his fake ass war and all the mexicans i jet into this country when he was in the white house but like most of people like you .you just want to believe what you want to anyway so it dont really matter what i got to say now does it so say what you want the truth hurts is all i got to say !
#17 Nov 9, 2012
You have no idea what you are talking about except that you think no one should draw upon truth where leadership is concerned. That part you have down pretty well. I do not want to stand before God and explain why I denied His truth when deciding right from wrong for a few votes.
I'll have enough to answer for as will we all.
I prefer trying to please Him over gaining empty praise and the power to destroy people.
#18 Nov 12, 2012
obamas second term will include trillions more in debt, more gridlock in DC, more division in the country, more poverty, more food stamps, more taxes, less military, more confusion abroad and inflation. The very people who elected him will be paying more and becoming more government dependent. Government dependency is the goal for dems.
#20 Nov 13, 2012
To no ones surprise the obama administration has yet another coverup on its hands. And of course he had no knowledge of the ever evolving petraeus affair until the day of the election, how convenient. You can't make this stuff up any better. He is either the biggest dipstick of all time or a compulsive liar, or both !
#21 Nov 14, 2012
damn look at all te lies bush told and got away with it he should have went to prison for all he did and i know i will get some bad feedback on this but the truth is the truth

That one thing won't be a product, it will be the person that for a very long time was the very embodiment of Apple. Steve Jobs, of course. Almost a year after Jobs' passing last October, everyone will be looking at the new iPhone and judging what Apple looks like without Steve at the head. Luckily, he's left a strong legacy.
But no, it's not Tim Cook, nor Jony Ive, nor Phil Schiller. It's Jobs himself - reborn. What? Yes.
Reborn in an epic rap video showing you the new shizzle that you'd instantly get addicted to. Honestly, that's the best thing we've seen and heard in a very long while. Telling the story of Jobs rubbing it on Cook's and the blind fanboys' face, the satirical rap video will have you nodding your heads to the rhythm and pushing the replay button an unhealthy amount of times. Actually, you can start now, it's right below.

It is several different authors giving their point of view on the past Pistons season, the current post season, and next season.

I don't care if gays are "submerged" in heterosexual activity. That's their tough shit. Heterosexuality is NORMAL. Yes, I said it. SUE ME! Homosexuals are not normal, nor are they the majority, therefore they shouldn't have rights that upset the
of the country. This country is supposed to be based on majority rules, and the majority of America does not believe in gay marriage...and in fact the majority of gays also do not believe in gay marriage. It's just a small percentage of the gay community pushing for this "gay marriage" horseshit. I wish I could remember the site that had the study but it's true.
Personally, I couldn't give 2 shits if gays want to be together for the rest of their lives. But that doesn't mean they have to be married. Once you bring marriage in to the picture you are saying that the State condones two homosexuals to be married, even though homosexuality is considered immoral, and goes against the natural order of life, and does nothing to contribute to society, AND "marriage" by definition is a legal unity between a man and a woman, not a man and a man, not a woman and a woman. If you want to be married, by the State, then you have to be hetero. Gay couples do nothing to contribute to society....how do gay people have kids? How do gays reproduce to further our species and contribute to the human society? Why should the state condone such behavior? What's the benefit for them? Just to look "politically correct"? Well some states would rather not look politically correct and that's their choice and IMO it's the right one.
Your argument for "majority rules" went out the window in 2000.
Do you even know why homosexuals want to have the right to marry? It seems to me like you don't. They just want the rights that a heterosexual couple receives when they marry. The simple thing to do is to remove marriage from the state (it shouldn't have had anything to do with the state to begin with) and remove the benefits from being married. And you'd have your solution.
So you're claiming that homosexuals don't deserve to get legal rights because they can't reproduce? This must mean you are against heterosexual that can't reproduce for any reason (such as low sperm count, problems with eggs, or just impotent) getting married? And what about those heterosexuals who have kids (a lot of them too) and don't do anything to support them so the kids end up at child services and are supported by tax payer dollars and when they turn 18 they will most likely commit crimes. This will happen and guess what, they take away from society but since they have different genitalia they can marry.
Prove to me that the majority of the country is against same sex marriage. I don't want a poll of 100 people surveyed at random, I don't want 1,000 people surveyed at random, I want millions of people surveyed (and several more times that). Once you can provide accurate statistics along with sources that are unbiased from the start, I'd be more likely to believe you, until then, saying that the majority are for or against something is basically hollow when it is over 300,000,000 people you're referring to.

In response to Security Tip: Disable Root SSH Logins on Linux
There was an option that wasn't covered for allowing direct root logins via ssh for linux. And that's with sshd and pam.d. It's really a simple solution if you need to allow direct root logins from a server, subnet, domain, IPv4/v6 etc.
Without getting into the specifics of PAM what you want to do is add the following line to /etc/security/access.conf
- : root : ALL EXCEPT <space delimited server list here>
and add this line: account require pam_access.so to your /etc/pam.d/sshd file.
NOTE: You may not have to add this line to /etc/pam.d/sshd if sshd requires system-auth and pam_access.so is referenced there.
Now you've effectivly limited where the root user can login from. Of course, disabling direct root altogether is a better and more secure option, if you have a bunch of legacy scripts (like I do) that gather information from servers, or do things like account modification for 100's of Linux servers, and rewriting all of those legacy scripts to login and use a PRIV facility like su or sudo would cost countless amounts of man hours. Just the thought of pouring over 10's of thousands of lines of non portable code that came from HP-UX or AS400 makes me want to be thrown into a bathtub with a family of rabbid racoons.
Just my two cents,

Nearly 180 Local Firefighters Fighting Rim Fire
More Than 3,000 Firefighters Battling Sierra Nevada Blaze
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Firefighters from Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties are fighting the Rim Fire in Yosemite.
More than 3,000 firefighters are battling the blaze and nearly 180 of them are local.
The crews from the area are using their firefighting knowledge from the fires they've fought here at home.
"It's just like we're responding to a fire here in the county. We have to get on the truck immediately and hit the road," said Capt. David Neels, of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
Neels just got back from a fire in the Tahoe National Forest and knows how the local crews are doing in Yosemite.
"Every morning they're waking up in a tent, the hours are long, their shift usually starts at six in the morning," he said.
After a long day of fighting the fire -- from structure protection to the front lines -- sometimes they won't get back to camp until 10 p.m.
"And it takes a lot out of you in regards to that cycle, day in and day out," said Neels.
The teams will be there for two weeks.
"Our firefighters are going to be out there as long as they need them there. And if it passes the 14-day period, we'll actually switch out the personnel," said Capt. David Sadecki, of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
Large, local fires like the Zaca Fire that scorched 240,000 acres and the White Fire that burned through campsites, have prepared the teams for the rugged terrain and hot temperatures they're dealing with in Yosemite.
"The firefighters are doing the best they can to put the fire out," said Sadecki.
As warm and dry conditions continue up and down the coast, fire departments are making sure all the stations are fully staffed, even with crews helping out in the Sierra Nevada.

The New England Patriots will reportedly sign wide receiver Jabar Gaffney, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson.
The deal is reportedly a two-year deal, although financial details have not yet been disclosed. Gaffney, who was released by the Washington Redskins earlier this week, would add yet another veteran pass catcher to the New England's arsenal.
The 31-year-old receiver had his best career season in 2011, hauling in 68 catches for 947 yards and five touchdowns.

EWWNP means Exploring Wild and Wonderful Number Patterns Created by Yourself! Investigate what happens if we create number patterns using some simple rules.
Find a great variety of ways of asking questions which make 8.
If you had any number of ordinary dice, what are the possible ways
of making their totals 6? What would the product of the dice be
each time?
If you are a teacher click here for a version of the problem suitable for classroom use, together with supporting materials. Otherwise, read on ...
On my calculator I divided one whole number by another whole number and got the answer $3.125$.
I know that both numbers were less than $50$, but can't remember what they were.
Can you work out what they were?
Once you've had a chance to think about it, click below to see how four different pupils began working on the task.
Here is Gemma and Flo's work:
Richard wrote the following:
He explained:
"I multiplied $3.125$ by $1$, then I tried multiplying $3.125$ by $2$, then I multiplied $3.125$ by $3$ ..."
Here is the start of Thomas' work:
Can you take each of these starting ideas and develop it into a solution?
Click here for a poster of this problem.
Allow pairs to work on the task so that you feel they have made some progress, but do not worry if they have not completed it or if they report being stuck. The aim at this stage is for everyone to 'get into' the problem and work hard on trying to solve it, but not necessarily to achieve a final solution.
At a suitable time, hand out this (doc pdf) to pairs. Suggest to the class that when they've finished or can't
make any further progress, they should look at the sheet showing three approaches used by children working on this task. Pose the question, "What might each do next? Can you take each of their starting ideas and develop them into a solution?". You may like pairs to record their work on large sheets of paper, which might be more easily shared with the rest of the class in the

Suite Pretty Cure♪
this wiki
Suite Pretty Cure♪ (スイートプリキュア♪ Suīto Purikyua♪?) is a Japanese anime series and the eighth series of the Pretty Cure anime franchise by Izumi Todo. Produced by Toei Animation, the series premiered on February 6, 2011, replacing Heartcatch Pretty Cure! on its initial timeslot. In Vietnam, it's known as Music Warrior. The series theme is music.
Hibiki and Kanade are two friends who grew up together in Kanon Town. Though their personalities are very different, they share one thing in common: A connection to music. No matter how different they are or how much their differences cause them to quarrel, they both continue to share loving hearts. One day they meet Hummy, who is sent to the Human World from Major Land to collect the scattered notes of the Melody of Happiness. They have to instantly transform into Pretty Cures to resist the threats and evil music from Mephisto. Can they stop the Melody of Sorrow from disrupting their peaceful town, and can their warped friendship measure up to the bonds of Pretty Cure?
Pretty Cure
- Hojo Hibiki (北条 響 Hōjō Hibiki?) is 14 years old and has a cheerful personality. She excels at sports, an expert on soccer, but is very bad at studying. She also loves to eat sweet things, in particular the cakes from Kanade's family's shop. Her alter ego is Cure Melody (キュアメロディ Kyua Merodi?).
- Minamino Kanade (南野 奏 Minamino Kanade?) is 14 years old, and she is Hibiki's childhood friend. Kanade is a excellent student, but she is not really good at sports. Her excellent grades and personality make her sort of a celebrity in her school. She dreams of being a pastry chef and take over her parents' shop, the Lucky Spoon. She also has a strong love for cat paws. Her alter ego is Cure Rhythm (キュアリズム Kyua Rizumu?).
- Siren (セイレーン Seirēn?) / Ellen Kurokawa (黒川エレン Kurokawa Eren?) is a former Cat-like Fairy of Songs. Although she was born in Major Land and knows Hummy, she, at some point, betrayed Major Land and allied with Mephisto. She then realizes her mistakes and betrays Mephisto for Hummy's sake. Her strong feelings of friendship with Hummy turned her into a Cure and now a human. Her alter ego is Cure Beat (キュアビート Kyua Bīto?).
- Shirabe Ako (調辺 アコ Shirabe Ako?) is a student in Kanon Elementary, same class with Minamino Souta. She is very mature for her age, but also very cold and not above handing out lectures, particularly towards Hibiki and Kanade. She masks as a mysterious fighter who rescues Cure Melody and Cure Rhythm since episode 11 and attacks with colorful piano keys. She often assists the Pretty Cures if they are trapped, but leaves them to finish off the Negatones. Her origin and status are unknown, and she has declared that she won't partner herself with the Pretty Cures until the moment is right. She also doesn't seem to speak, as her Fairy Tone partner, Dodory, does all the talking. In the event of episode 35, to stop Mephisto's riot, she declares her identity and claims that she is Mephisto's daughter. She turned into Cure Muse and awoken her father from his hypnosis. She rejected to join the Cures, but when they say that she's not alone, she decides to fight along with them. Her alter ego is Cure Muse (キュアミューズ Kyua Myūzu?) and the Mask Cure.
- Hummy (ハミィ Hamī?) is a female cat-like Fairy of Songs, and the partner of both Hibiki and Kanade. She is the annual singer of the Melody of Happiness and Best friend of Siren. Hummy is sent to the human world to search and collect the scattered notes of the Melody of Happiness and she met both Kanade and Hibiki to help her collect.
- The Fairy Tones (フェアリートーン Fearī Tōn?) are nine creatures with different colors, each of which is named after a different note. They lend their powers to Pretty Cure in different ways.
Minor Land
- Mephisto (メフィスト Mefisuto?) is the king of the Minor Land. He attempts to make the Melody of Happiness into the Melody of Sadness to turn all worlds tragic, and to fulfill his taste of music. He was actually a pawn and was hypnotized. Before he was brainwashed, he was the King of Major land and husband of Aphodite and father of Ako. He soon was back to normal and dearly loves Ako very much.
- Trio the Minor (トリオ・ザ・マイナー Torio za Mainā?) is a trio, who worked for Mephisto, and also worked with Siren. They sing in unison rather than speak individually. However, they do speak individually sometimes. They used to work in Major Land as the Three Musketeers, but they betrayed Major Land and joined Mesphisto and their mission is to gather the Notes to make the Melody of Sadness. The members are:
- Bassdrum (バスドラ Basudora?) - Is one of the members. He has deep voice when singing. He has a green beard, which has a similar haircut as his hair.
- Baritone (バリトン Bariton?) - Is one of the members. He is smart, and has a cool personality. He has long, blue hair.
- Falsetto (ファルセット Farusetto?) - Is one of the members. He has a high pitched voice when singing. After his friends and Mephisto turn good again, he is revealed to be the spy from Noise of Evil, however, later he turns good again. He has pink hair.
- Noise (ノイズ Noizu?) is the actual enemy behind the operation. He has three forms: P-chan, beast and humanoid.
- Negatone are the monsters summoned in this series, whenever a note is attached to an object.
- Aphrodite (アフロディテ Afurodite?) is the queen of the nation "Major Land". She hosts the anniversary of the Melody of Happiness to pray for the peace of all worlds. She is the wife of Mephisto and mother of Ako.
- Higashiyama Seika (東山 聖歌 Higashiyama Seika?) is the president of the sweets club, and Kanade refers to her as the "Queen of Sweets". She does not seem to like to be addressed so formally, however, and asks Kanade to call her by her first name.
- Minamino Souta (南野 奏太 Minamino Sōta?) is Kanade's younger brother. While he seems to get on Kanade's nerves she really does care for him.
- Ouji Masamune (王子 正宗 Ōji Masamune?) is the leader of the "musical princes" orchestra club. he is very popular with the girls, including Kanade who has a crush on him.
- Nishijima Waon (西島 和音 Nishijima Waon?) is one of Hibiki, Kanade and Ellen's classmates, she plays on the soccer team with Hibiki and appears to have a close relationship with her.
- Cure Module - A transformation device used by all four Cures.
- Miracle Belltier - Rod like weapon used by Melody.
- Fantastic Belltier - Rod like weapon used by Rhythm.
- Love Guitar Rod - Rod like weapon used by Beat.
- Major Land (メイジャーランド Meijā Rando?) - is the home place of Hummy and Siren. The annual concert of the Melody of Happiness, is hosted here by the queen of the land, Aphrodite, in order to keep the world in peace.
- Minor Land (マイナーランド Mainā Rando?) - is the place where the evil king Noise, his minions, and his kingdom reside.
- Kanon Town (加音町 Kanon Machi?) - The homeplace of Hojo Hibiki and Minamino Kanade. Kanon Town is known as "The Town of Music".
- Private Aria Academy (私立アリア学園中学校 Shiritsu Aria Gakuen Chūgakkō?) - is the high school Hibiki, Kanade, Ellen and many other characters in Suite Pretty Cure♪ attend. Hibiki's father Dan works at the school as a music teacher and conductor for the popular quintet group, Musical Princes.
- Municipal Kanon Elementary School (市立加音小学校 Shiritsu Kanon Shōgakkō?) - Elementary school attended by Minamino Souta & Shirabe Ako.
- Lucky Spoon - Kanade's house and her parents shop.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the second season where a villain became a Cure herself, preceded by Fresh Pretty Cure! with Cure Passion and followed by Go! Princess Pretty Cure with Cure Scarlet.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the third series to have a white Cure, and where there are two Cures who can never transform without each other.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the second Pretty Cure season to have pink as more than one of the Cures' theme colors.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the third season that does not use a cell phone-like device for the Cures to transform.
- It is also the only season where the Cures use a brooch to transform.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the fifth season where the Cures are seen transforming together rather than in separate sequences. The exceptions to this are Cure Beat's and Cure Muse's debut transformations.
- Coincidentally, Japanese phonetically "suite" is like "sweet", and Kanade and her family specialize in making sweets.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪, like Fresh Pretty Cure! and Heartcatch Pretty Cure!, has a different style from the original Pretty Cure seasons. In fact, it even combines the two. Like with the outfit design, eyes, and highlights.
- Like Fresh Pretty Cure! and Heartcatch Pretty Cure!, Suite Pretty Cure♪ features musical themes in their attacks, speeches or weapons.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the only season in which the main characters do not get along. While the Cures in the previous seasons have little arguments that are quickly resolved, Hibiki and Kanade are constantly bickering, even when battling a villain.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the first season which uses the names from mythology.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ has the youngest Cure in the franchise, Cure Muse.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the only series where the lead Cure does not have a crush on anyone nor to have anyone like her back. However, another Cure, Cure Rhythm, does have a crush on Ouji Masamune.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the only season that the members can transform by themselves or together (two, three, or four of them), but still in the same place.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the only season whose theme focuses mainly on music.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ is the only season where none of the villains die.
- Suite Pretty Cure♪ was the only season to have episodes delayed. This was caused by the 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake that hit northern Japan on March 11th, 2011.
- Most of the episode titles have some kind of sound or onomatopoeia at the beginning of it.

of course, these screws are not what i'm going to use...
the sub will be in the middle....
and will have led as backlit...
here's the "i" badge on the left side sub
and the "WRX" logo on the right side sub
the inside part... the middle piece will have a hole through it but instead of having a gap towards the back of the box, it will be shut... only the top part of the middle pice will have gap - maybe 2"
the hole might not be necessary anymore....
I like it!
What do you plan on making it out of?
yo! chunks! what's up dude?!?
maybe regular subwoofer box (particle board? mdf?) I really don't know the name. I just know what they look like might experiment with fiberglass a little - maybe the left/right sides and the top part.Originally Posted by Chunks
oh yeah, important. if you choose "Redesign", (not to make you not choose it) can you give me a reason why?
not much up in my life lately, heh.
anyway, the only change I would suggest would be maybe color? Maybe changing the red to something else. Anyway good luck, it looks pretty kickass.
Did you ever take an industrial design class or something? It looks pretty sharp.
other than chunks, the other two who voted to redesign the box still hasn't posted the reason why...
what's wrong with it?
If you could make it out of fiberglass to make it look more seamless, I think it would turn out better. Seems like a pretty cool idea though.
- F r a n z
Bucky with teh lime powah!
is that a weiner or the impreza i?
try and do the full circle if its the impreza i
otherwise the concept is good and glad to see someone think before they actual start hacking away at wood.
is this for a sedan or wagon?
Vanitas vanitatum...et omnia vanitas
i have been reading more about fiberglass and "how tos" and if budget allows me to, I will build it with mix mdf and fiberglass.
thanks!Originally Posted by Th3Franz

World No 1 amateur Lydia Ko was happy enough with her solid start to her third major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship on the LPGA Tour in California yesterday.
But it could have been so much better if her putter hadn't been running cold.
The 15-year-old from the Gulf Harbour Country Club shot an even par 72 alongside golfing superstar Michelle Wie at the Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage to be sharing 25th place after round one.
Ko is four shots behind the leading trio of South Korean Na Yeon Choi, Norway's Suzann Pettersen and England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff, who opened with rounds of four under par 68 in the fine conditions.
Ko agreed that her even par score was the worst score she could have had for the day, considering the number of birdie opportunities she set up with her precise iron play.
"Yeah, especially the front nine, which was my back nine, a few [putts] slipped by, and I said, 'oh, man, not again'," she said.
"I think it was a pretty solid start. My putts didn't fall, but I felt like I rolled it really well. I'm happy, even though."
The New Zealand Women's Open Champion, who began on the 10th tee, got off to a fast start with a birdie on her opening hole, but then gave it back with a bogey on the next.
"Yeah birdie on the first hole, that's always good, but then I don't play as good when I have a birdie on the first hole. But then I'll take it anyway."
She repeated the birdie-bogey combination on the 14th and 15th before making a fine birdie on the 17th to make the turn one under par and within touch of the leaders who at that stage were three under par.
Ko played steady golf on her back nine with several birdie chances until the par four seventh hole where she dropped a shot.
This left her on an even par 72 to be outside the top 20.
She enjoyed playing alongside Wie, who also carded an even par 72 in round one, and is getting used to mixing with the glamour girls of the LPGA Tour.
"It was fun. She's my idol, so I was very excited. But I was less nervous today because I played with her at the Australian Open."
Ko knows her friends, family and a growing number of fans are watching at home in New Zealand as Sky Sport is broadcasting the tournament live following her recent run of form.

Cayo on target for Peterson
Photos and report by Ricardo Conde
World ranked junior welterweight contender Victor 'Mermelada' Cayo (26-1, 18 KOs) of the Dominican Republic, training out of the renowned World Crown Sports Training Center in Oxnard, CA, will step back into the ring on Friday April 29th against Lamont Peterson (24-1-1, 14 KOs) of Washington DC in an IBF junior welterweight title eliminator in the main event of an ESPN2's 'Friday Night Fights' at the Cosmopolitan Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the winner becoming the mandatory challenger to current IBF junior welterweight champion Zab 'Super' Judah (41-6, 28 KOs).

"I'm in great shape for this fight, we've been in training camp for several weeks now, we're getting great sparring and we're right on target. I plan on taking full advantage of this opportunity that we've worked so hard for and we'll be 100% ready for April 29," said Victor Cayo.
Victor Cayo currently trains along side WBC Silver super middleweight champion Noe 'El Carbonero' Gonzalez (26-1, 18 KOs) of Uruguay, hard hitting WBC Youth featherweight champion Javier 'El Abejon' Fortuna (14-0, 11 KOs) of the Dominican Republic, as well as middleweight champion Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KOs) of Oxnard, CA, by way of Argentina.
In his last outing, Victor Cayo defeated Javier 'Pelon' Gomez (10-6, 7KOs) of Mexico on October 29th at the Gimnasio Municipal in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico via first round knockout. Cayo is on a two bout win streak, both of them by knockout, since suffering his only loss last year to hard hitting junior welterweight Marcos 'El Chino' Maidana (29-2, 27 KOs) of Argentina.
Also, in action that night will be lightweight Hylon Williams Jr. (13-0, 3 KOs) of Las Vegas, Nevada as well as junior lightweight Rances Barthelemy (11-0, 9 KOs) of Cuba, in separate bouts.

Published Sunday, April 24, 2005
Each month, the Columbia Public Library offers selections from its collection related to a current best- seller or hot topic. Public Services Librarian Svetlana Grobman compiled this month's selection.
Despite T.S. Eliot's description of April as "the cruelest month," very few people see it that way. For most of us, April is the time when we feel energized and creative, and one of the ways we express our creativity is landscaping our homes. There are many reasons to do this. Some of them are practical: moving to a new house, updating an old one or preparing for a sale. Other reasons relate to entertaining, growing a garden or making a quiet refuge or a safe playground for our children.
During the Colonial period, American gardens typically were of two kinds: kitchen and pleasure gardens. Plants and flowers were brought from Europe, as well as collected from surrounding forests and fields. Penelope Hobhouse unravels thousands of years of the evolution of gardening in "The Story of Gardening" (DK Publishing, 2002).
These days we are no longer confined by the old rules, yet knowing principles of garden design is still as important as it was many years ago. The Taunton Press series "Fine Gardening Design Guides" leads readers to creating beautiful places of their own. "Landscaping Your Home" (2001) offers site evaluation as well as tips, design plan diagrams and lessons from nature. "Exploring Garden Style" (2001) explores traditional, naturalistic and "specialty" gardens. "Designing With Plants: Creative Ideas From America's Best Gardeners" (2001) teaches how to blend flower colors, create focal points of interest and design gardens that look beautiful year-round.
Another awe-inspiring book on garden design, "Designing With Plants" (Timber Press, 1999), is written by Europeans Piet Oudolf and Noel Kingsbury. Readers looking for local ideas will enjoy "Midwestern Landscaping Book" (Sunset Books, 2001) and Roger Holmes' "Home Landscaping: Midwest Region, Including Southern Canada" (Creative Homeowner Press, 1999).
The library's offerings cover a wide variety of needs and ideas. Among them are "Landscaping With Ornamental Grasses" (Sunset Books, 2002) by Fiona Gilsenan, "The Art of the Kitchen Garden" (Taunton Press, 1999) by Jan Gertley, "Creating a Low-Allergen Garden" (Mitchell Beazley, 1999) by Lucy Huntington, "Gardening in Small Spaces" (Taunton Press, 2002) and "Great Gardens for Kids" (Hamlyn, 2002) by Clare Matthews. For your garden makeover, follow "Reinvent Your Garden" (Sunset Books, 2003), edited by Pamela Cornelison, and, to sum it all up, check out Ortho Books' "Complete Guide to Landscaping" (Meredith Books, 2005) or Catriona Erler's "New Complete Home Landscaping" (Creative Homeowner, 2005).
One of the new trends in contemporary landscape gardening involves changing the way we look at the lawn, especially in our front yards. Liz Primeau's "Front Yard Gardens: Growing More Than Grass" (Firefly Books, 2003) teaches how to plan, design and execute a beautiful and environmentally friendly front yard. Jeni Webber's "Taunton's Front Yard Idea Book" (Taunton Press, 2002) is filled with ideas on creating entryways, driveways and parking; building paths and steps; choosing ground covers; and implementing landscape lighting.
Another contemporary landscaping trend promotes stepping away from the formal and giving way to nature. Those interested in creating an easy-care landscape will benefit from Dave Tylka's "Native Landscaping for Wildlife and People: How to Use Native Midwestern Plants to Beautify Your Property and Benefit Wildlife" (Missouri Department of Conservation, 2002), "Ortho's All About Creating Natural Landscapes" (Meredith Books, 2003) and Andy Wasowski's "The Landscaping Revolution: Garden With Mother Nature, Not Against Her" (Contemporary Books, 2000).
Japanese gardens represent another way of establishing man's partnership with nature. The art of creating a tranquil garden is explored in Peter Chan's "Creating a Japanese Garden" (PRC, 2003) and Alvin Horton's "Ortho's All About Creating Japanese Gardens" (Meredith, 2003).
As for creative spirits designing for the 21st century, Charles Jencks' "The Garden of Cosmic Speculation" (Frances Lincoln, 2003) will take your inspiration up a notch or two.

text: I've been reading a lot about how women aren't respected at the range. I've come to experience exactly the opposite. Men respect anyone who comes to the range who handles a gun like she owns it, shoots with knowledge, and last but certainly not least-respects fire arm safety! Of course it doesn't hurt to have my husband tell anyone who will listen that I shot my first two deer when I was 16! The first thing my dad did was send me to a fire arms safety class.

cold weather coming, and trooper not running
So here's the story:
I went outside about 6:45am to warm up the trooper before i head off to school. Started right up fine like usual. I came back out to head off at about 7, and it was no longer running. I thought hmm maybe it stalled. I tried starting it and no go. Agreeing with several other people, I concluded it must be the gas. (I was running low, and it was cold outside = lots of condensation) So I figured it must have frozen somewhere. I bought some dry gas, poured that in the tank and added some more gas. Shook it up a bit, and tried it again. Still no go. I tried again the next day in the afternoon, because it was a little warmer out (around 40-45*F as opposed to near freezing) Still not starting. I figured, hey what the hell maybe the fuel filter is clogged, so I replaced that (it was due for one anyways). It is still not starting. I popped the top off the air cleaner and sprayed a couple shots of Starting Fluid into the TBI. Vroom, then died, so its obviously not getting the fuel it needs. I further checked by having somebody watch the injectors when I cranked it over. Yep, no fuel. I have come to the conclusion it must be the fuel pump. Am I right or am I wrong? I want to make sure I am right before I go and spend all the money on a new one.
The second part of the question is, can the gas tank be dropped to change the pump out? I would assume so, but I only ask because it is a split-tank design and it looks like the brackets it's mounted to are welded to the frame.
There is a good chance we are getting a good snow storm in 2 days, so I'd like to have my troop runnin again ASAP. The other thing is, I don't have a garage, so doing this in my driveway is limited by the weather. Thanks for any and all input.

First thing to check would be the fuses/relay associated with the fuel system. There should be a fuse in the block in your dash and a fuse and relay in the fuse block under the hood. Test them all with a meter (even if they "look" ok) and see if that tells you anything. When you turn the key on, you should be able to go to the back of the truck and hear the pump priming itself if its working.
Second thing to check is the electrical plug for the pump at the back of the truck. These tend to get nasty and make you think the pump isn't working. Though it would be odd if it just suddenly happened while the truck was warming up.
If that doesn't do it, then yes the tank can be dropped. Should have a drain plug at the bottom. Take off skid plate, drain, take down gas tank and take out the pump.

if you were looking at the injectors.you must have aTBI 2.8L........been there done that.on the Jersey Turnpike no less
i replaced a ton of crap only to find out it was the injectors in the TBI............seems they sucked up some trash or whatever when mine ran out of gas.
but, you have identified the 2 foremost items i would have suggested..............fuel pump or injectors....

i have checked both the fuse and the relay and they check out fine, I don't see how both injectors could be clogged at once like that but that is also something i will also look into, when i drop the tank, i will also check connections, etc. i do have a new pump just in case that i purchased at the local napa for $163. Also, when i turn the key to on, the pump does not run, nor does the relay click, i don't think it ever did. when you actually crank it over is when the relay clicks and the pump should run, i had somebody do that and the relay is fine, but i heard no pump. i've concluded it must be the pump, but i'll also take a better look at the injectors.

everything is fixed, bad connections going through tank to pump were all corroded. I decided to replace the pump anyways because the new one had a lot more nut than the original one, and the in-tank filter was dirty as a whore. everything works great now, all thats left is drill out and re-tap holes for the 2 gas tank skid plate bolts i broke (damn cold weather)
