Maintaining your vehicle so it can perform its best doesn't have to eat into your budget. It's not uncommon knowledge that sending your car to be maintained by a professional crew can send you into a sticker shock episode. Many of the common tasks can be done at home by yourself so long as you have the basic knowledge and basic tools.
How Often Does a Car Need A Tune Up?
A tune up is defined as servicing a vehicle to ensure it functions properly and safely. While a tune up can eliminate most problems, it's not solution for every problem. While you can consult your user manual for your vehicle, here are a few signs to look for when considering if your vehicle needs a tune up:
- Your once gas efficient car now consumes gas greedily.
- Power seems low or lacking.
- The idle is unpredictable and may stall
- Your car misfires on the occasion
- Runs roughly especially when first started
- Engine no longer runs smoothly
- Engine is more difficult to start.
- Etc.
Tools To Have On Hand Before You Start
Doing the job correctly is partially dependent on having the right tools. Here's a small list of what you'll need:
- Several wrenches, or just an adjustable wrench
- A torque wrench
- Pliers
- Socket and ratchet set
- Torque wrench
- Philips screwdriver
- Flathead screwdriver
- A jack
If you don't already have these tools on hand, consider purchasing them at your local home improvement store. Don't be tempted to purchase tools that are cheap. Find tools that are comfortable to hold and the handles are strong. You don't want a wrench breaking when you need it the most.
Other than the tools you'll be purchasing, you need to purchase the new auto parts if you're going to be replacing anything. Online auto stores make it easy for you by enabling you to enter information about your car to match you with the proper parts. If an online store is out of question, visit your local auto part store and tell them what you need. Most likely they'll help you get the right part the first time. If you don't get the right part, hold onto the receipt so you can exchange the wrong part for the right one.
Replacing Your Drive Belt
You'll need to replace your drive belt when it's broken or worn. If your car happens to squeal when you first start it up in the morning, chances are it's a drive belt. If you're not sure, look your drive belt over for any signs of cracks, daily wear and tear and even lack of firmness.
How to Replace the Belt Step By Step
Replacing an Alternator or the Battery
If your car has a hard time starting, it might be time to take a look at the alternator and or battery. Using a multimeter to test your alternator will help you quickly find out if the alternator is to blame. This handy device will display the power levels and whether or not your alternator or battery are dead. If either your battery or alternator are dead, you'll need to replace it. Locating the alternator may be a little difficult for newbies, consulting the user manual that came with your car will usually make this painless. A battery may cease to work if you accidentally left a car door open overnight (even partially) or even the lights. You may try jumping the batter to see if this breathes new life into the battery.
Brake Pads
Brake pads are an essential function you can't afford to skimp on when it comes to preventive maintenance. The brake pads will begin to make squealing noises whenever you decide to glide to a stop. Grinding noises are a different story. If you hear grinding noises, it's probably best to consult the advice of an expert. Take the car to a repair shop to be serviced.
How to Fix Leaks and Avoid Damaging Your Driveway
If you back your car out of the driveway or its parking spot and you happen to see liquid puddles where your car was, chances are your car has a leak. They come in a variety of colors from orange to green and even orange. After you first notice the leak, pop the hood on your car and see if you can locate the source. Be careful! If you're lucky, you may find the source dripping from a hose or a plastic part. Don't touch it! The liquid will more than likely be scorching hot. To fix the problem, remove the hose and replace it with a new one. If you can't seem to locate the leak, consider turning the car over to a professional.
Some Other Common Tasks That Are Performed During a Tune Up
- Oil Changes are essential to keep your motor performing its best. Most people recommend scheduling an oil change every 3,000 miles. While you can do this at home, proper disposal of the old oil can be very messy and dangerous. Consider finding a shop nearby that can do it for you.
- Spark plug and wires are some of the things that are responsible for starting your vehicle. If your spark plug can't get a proper contact, your gas mileage may go down, the car may be difficult to start and emissions will most likely fail your vehicle.
- Replacing the air filter prevents harmful debris and particles from getting into your engine. If you put off maintain the air filter, your vehicle will suck the debris in and collect. This will cause poor gas mileage and even your engine's performance.
- Replacing a fuel filter is an intimidating task because you're working directly with fuel. If you don't know how to do this or never learned how to do it, consider seeking the advice of a professional at your local auto part shop. Most professionals are all too happy to show you how to do this simple but intimidating task.
While this article is not a comprehensive to do list on auto maintenance, it's basic and provides an ample starting list for vehicle maintenance.

With a rework of Róisín Murphy under his Orion's belt, we invited cosmic disco trailblazer Beldelli to school us with a selection of records. He didn't hold back, delivering fifty (yes, FIFTY) of his favourite cosmic hits.
In the late 70's Baldelli took up a residency at Cosmic, a nightclub by Lake Garda, and rose to stardom with his experimental mixing style. He combined an extremely diverse range of genres – from European electronica to reggae, synth pop to African folk – often played at improper speeds and mixed with effects and drum machines. Baldelli's worldly and hypnotic sets fathered the cosmic sound, a movement that set itself apart from the Italo disco scene.
He's still going strong, playing scintillating mixes around the world as well as producing his own brand of outer worldly dance music. Just last week, he paired up with Marco Dionigi to produce a retro-futuristic reworking of Róisín Murphy's 'Ancora Tu'. Have a listen and order it here.
Baldelli has entrusted us with an unprecedented selection of the records from the original cosmic disco scene. Essentially if you got your hands on Baldelli's eclectic record bag from back in the day, below is some of what you might find. We've put all 50 tracks into one giant playlist for you to listen to or alternatively check out the tracks (and the records were you can find them) individually.

Chapter 3 p. 22
They walked into the mouth, following the tunnel that shrunk in height two feet. It wound
right, then left, then straightening a short distance. The afternoon light that they had left
behind at the first bend was replaced by a soft glow from the large cavern in front of them.
The air in the cavern was warm, with the smallest touch of humidity. The roof stretched
upwards twenty-odd feet into the air, and the sides stretched in a rounded rectangle that
covered an area larger than any house Mara had ever been in. Thin veins of crystal and
small flakes of what looked like mica embedded in the walls reflected the electric-blue
glow of some very large bioluminescent mushrooms tucked into different nooks and
crannies. The whole room was lit in this soft, ethereal glow, and the smooth floor was
clearly lit up. There were entrances to other rooms visible in the far back and back right of
the cavern.
Mara looked up and down, slowly turning in place trying to see everything in the cavern.
A smile crept unbidden to her lips, as she twirled, looking around with the joy of a young
child at the wonders she was seeing. Joshua smiled too, infected by her happy mood. He
was glad to see her start to truly relax and enjoy herself in her new world. Mara stopped
twirling and looked over her shoulder at Joshua, her smile fading into the corners of her
mouth, which twitched with suppressed, happy, awe. She spoke, her voice slightly lowered
in volume, but echoing clearly in the room.
"This is incredible Joshua. I've never seen anything on Earth that's like this place - nothing
at all! The blue is so beautiful, and those mushrooms almost reach my knees - and the
ceiling is so high. This is the largest room I've ever been in... Are you sure this cave is
"Only mushrooms call this cave home, and now you will. Is it to your liking?"
"Well, it seems warm and dry enough. Safe from wet weather anyway. When winter comes,
will it freeze?"
"The temperature in here remains constant, as warm as you feel it right now. You can't eat
the mushrooms, but they are a good source of light for you."
"Yes, but, I think I would miss the sunlight hitting my face after a while. It'd be pretty hard
to tell time in here. If only there was a window or three."
"I think the two of us might be able to make one for you, but it's a lot of hard work I warn
"What isn't nowadays?"
"If you like this cave enough to agree to stay, then there are a few other things we need to
get done before we can even think about carving out windows. Teaching you what you can
eat, for instance."
"Alright, alright, I get it. I'll stay here - but I'm not against moving if this place turns out to
be a lousy abode. Talking about food makes me hungry, so why don't we hunt down a meal
right now?"

|Reviews for Resonance
| yllimilly chapter 1 . 11/14/2010
This in my book totally counts as Sennenshipping, and I love ittt! I loved that you came up with a name for the card and a touching, humanizing story; few other contestants did it. This piece was well written and enjoyable to read, it felt whole and light at the same time.
| My Misguided Fairytale chapter 1 . 11/12/2010
D Yay for longer stories!
I really enjoyed reading this - I like that it was both contemporary in setting and referenced elements of the AE time. Bakura was written well, and I liked the "Keket" idea...giving Necrofear a name was a very good choice, and I liked how you kept having Bakura talk to the card and reference the Ring, their ka, etc. It was a creative way to incorporate the Dollshipping. It left off at a nice place too, I thought - I keep imagining what is going to happen once the Ring finally comes into Ryou's possession and the events of canon unfold. This really is a good portrayal of a sort of "what could have been" moment in the history that we never get to see of Bakura and the Ring. For a guy who can never really love, as you say, you do a good job of humanizing him. I think the "resonance" theme is also very strong throughout this story ) Good choice of title.
Best of luck this round, and keep up the good work! D
~Jess (My Misguided Fairytale)
| Animom chapter 1 . 11/12/2010
Eh, I don't think it was a cop-out – considering how many times the series has stressed the "relationships if the past influence duel monsters in the present" thing.
I think my favorite part of this was the last line, which was understatedly romantic.
| Enjeru chapter 1 . 11/11/2010
Interesting. I like the approach you took to writing Dark Necrofear, having an OC reprensent her card. ;D
I like the beginning with the theory that the ring had many hosts before Ryou, now I wanna know how you'd write their first encounter. xD (that's the tendershipping-fan coming through)
Anyway, keep up the great work and good luck!

England manager Roy Hodgson spoke of his "major sadness" in the wake of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Uruguay that leaves the Three Lions with a mountain to climb.
The England manager saw his team go down to two Luis Suarez goals that means his team must rely on Italy winning both of their matches, and England beating Costa Rica, to qualify.
Speaking after the defeat, Hodgson said: "We're devestated. Having got to 1-1, I fully believed we would go on to win or at least draw.
"We had been in control for such a long time."
After Suarez's first half header England huffed and puffed but failed to create any real chances.
But with 15 minutes remaining, Wayne Rooney finally broke his World Cup duclk, tapping in a Glen Johnson cross from close range.
But the killer blow came, a little under 10 minutes later when Suarez raced through on goal to lash the winner past Joe Hart.
How did England perform?
How did England perform?
1/11 Joe Hart
Blameless for Suarez's goal and generally impressive against Uruguay's early pressure. Reacted sharply to two difficult Suarez corners to his near post. 6
Getty Images
2/11 Glen Johnson
England needed quality from their experienced right-back and Johnson, who struggled at first, delivered it with the cross for Rooney's goal. 5
Getty Images
3/11 Gary Cahill
Not as responsible as Jagielka for the goal and generally kept his head above water until the second goal, when he was caught off-guard by Suarez. 5
Getty Images
4/11 Phil Jagielka
Has struggled to contain Luis Suarez in the past and last night was no different, as he lost the Liverpool striker who peeled away from him to score. 4
Getty Images
5/11 Leighton Baines
Worked hard up and down the left-flank but, as in the Italy game, his final-third quality was not quite as good as it needs to be. 5
Getty Images
6/11 Steven Gerrard
England needed leadership and control in the middle but Gerrard was poor again, failing to keep the ball and losing the ball for both of Suarez's goals. 4
Getty Images
7/11 Jordan Henderson
Ran hard without the ball but failed to make much of a contribution going forward as England lacked ideas in the middle of the pitch. 5
Getty Images
8/11 Raheem Sterling
Not as impressive as he was against Italy, Sterling did try to run at opponents, with not much success. The first to be taken off. 5
Getty Images
9/11 Danny Welbeck
Tried to stretch Uruguay, running in behind, but England could not get him the ball quickly enough and he failed to use well it when they did. 5
Getty Images
10/11 Wayne Rooney
Restored to his preferred No 10 role, Rooney looked eager and although nothing came off at first, he persevered for the late tap-in. 6
Getty Images
11/11 Daniel Sturridge
Far less impressive than against Italy, less incisive with his movement, less responsible with his hold-up play and less dangerous in the penalty area. 4
Getty Images
"To concede the second goal is an unbelievable blow. On both occasions we haven't done enough.
"I think in both games we have shown elements of playing good football.
"Results means everything. The results have been negative."
Hodgson added: "Where does it leave us? I don't know. I don't quite know.
"I am bitterly disappointed. We came with such high hopes and were not able to deliver, a major sadness."Reuse content

Lisle, Illinois~ Forbes verified this week what many students, faculty, staff and alumni already knew – Benedictine University is among the top colleges in the country.
For the second straight year, Forbes magazine's "America's Top Colleges" lists Benedictine University among the 650 best undergraduate institutions in the United States. The 650 schools ranked by Forbes are culled from nearly 2,800 four-year colleges and universities nationwide.
"Students come here because they know they can get a quality, private liberal arts education that is among the best found anywhere and will prepare them for a successful professional career at a price that is both reasonable and affordable," said Kari Gibbons, vice president for Enrollment Services at Benedictine.
The Forbes rankings focus on the things that matter most to students, including quality of teaching, career prospects, graduation rates and low levels of debt. It ignores things like school "reputation" and what it calls "ill-conceived metrics that reward wasteful spending."
The rankings are prepared by the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, a Washington, D.C., think tank founded by Ohio University economist Richard Vedder.
In addition to a national ranking of 494 among all colleges and universities – up from 540 a year ago – Benedictine was ranked 347th among private colleges and universities, 183rd among research universities and 116th in the Midwest region.
Benedictine University is located in Lisle, Illinois, just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has branch campuses in Springfield, Illinois, and Mesa, Arizona. Founded as a Catholic university in 1887, Benedictine enrolls nearly 10,000 students in 56 undergraduate and 19 graduate programs. Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the sixth consecutive year in 2016. A 2016 PayScale Inc. report ranked BenU one of the top 10 colleges in Illinois for return on investment and in the top 20 percent nationally.

GT Grade FB Comp Flat Bar Gravel Bike - 2016Discover big fun at a great value with the GT Grade FB Comp flat bar road bike. Designed around GT's More Tread Room tire clearance concept, which marries the fast and nimble feel of a road bike to the versatile capabilities of a cyclocross or hard tail mountain bike, where you go on your next ride is limited only by your imagination.
The secret to the Grade is the frame. Utilizing an updated version of GT's famed triple triangle design, the Grade frame is optimized for on- and off-road adventure. The frame is made with double butted, hydroformed alloy for a lightweight, durable bike. The tapered headtube helps stiffen up the front end, and the standard threaded bottom bracket makes servicing easy. The carbon fiber fork features an aluminum steerer for durability, and has mounts for disc brakes.
But of course a great bike is more than just a frame--it's the component choices as well. The Grade GB Comp FB features a Shimano Acera groupset, with a Claris front derailleur and 8-speed long cage rear derailleur for excellent, dependable shifting performance. An wide-range, 8-speed 12-32 cassette in the rear, coupled with a triple crankset up front gives you 27 gearing combinations to pick from. Tektro mechanical disc brakes provide plenty of stopping power in any terrain, or any weather conditions, while Kena Kwest 700x28mm tires provide a huge contact patch with plenty of comfort. The more upright, flat bar style of cockpit puts everything in easy reach, and provides a more comfortable and stable feel for the average rider.
- Grade alloy frame with disc mounts and large tire clearance
- Shimano 3x8 gearing gives you 24 gears to pick from

Bob also pulled together a group of top-notch people that have formed an exceptional team with collective experience stretching over 3 generations.
Alta Colina lies on the hilltops of a 130 acre ranch, with 31 acres planted to Rhône varietals. The vineyard is off Adelaida Road in the Coast Range in an area noted for producing premium wine grapes. The property varies in elevation from 1600 to 1780 feet, with steep North and South facing slopes. Soils are shallow, well drained loam with a high concentration of fractured shale throughout the growth horizon. There are 14 blocks—each carefully matched with the optimum rootstock, variety, spacing, trellis, and orientation for the soil in that particular block.
They grow 4 varieties of white grapes, all from the Rhône Valley in France: Viognier, Roussanne (2 clones), Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc. Each is vinified separately, and the wines blended after several months of aging.
Alta Colina also grows 4 varieties of red grapes, again all Rhônes: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre, and Petite Sirah. The situation here is a bit more complex as they have 4 clones of Syrah and 2 of Grenache. All clones are vinified separately and (potentially) blended together after up to a year of aging.
You can taste and purchase Alta Colina wines at Villicana Winery's tasting room at 2725 Adeleida Road.↑ Less

Community > Wimmera River Pedestrian Bridge
The concept of a shared pedestrian bridge across the Wimmera River was first discussed in around 2007 by the Wimmera River Improvement Committee. Early planning for this led to the development of a preliminary design for a suspension bridge to deliver this goal. In the years that followed, the concept was developed further, leading to Council allocating a sum of $1.2 million in the 2014-15 budget for the project. Funding for the project has been supported by a generous grant from Regional Development Victoria and the Southbank Developer, to build a bridge at Apex Island.
Wangaratta based company J & R Industries has submitted a design and construct tender to install a suspension bridge with a central span of 75 m, leaving river users such as rowers unhindered.
The bridge's steel structure will be pre-fabricated off-site in Wangaratta and delivered to the site to be installed onto precast reinforced concrete piles and cross-heads that will be constructed on-site.
You will find more information and images of this exciting project in the attached newsletter below.

Before Linus The Lionhearted roared onto the screen in 1964, General Foods (now part of Kraft) sponsored The Bugs Bunny Show on ABC. This enabled Warner Bros. to produce a series of commercials to promote Post Cereals and Tang, a popular instant breakfast drink better known for its association with NASA and the Apollo space program. Imbaaack uploaded the following block of ads, bracketed by a commercial promoting The Bugs Bunny Show and a couple of Post-centric bumpers from the same show. The ads were produced between 1960-4, before independent producer Ed Graham landed the license to adapt Post's own mascots for television.
I believe it's either Mel Blanc or Hal Smith (The Andy Griffith Show) as Elmer Fudd, by the way.

Looney TV: Bugs Bunny & friends shill for Post (1960-64)

It definitely sounds like Hal Smith doing Fudd's voice for the commercials, even though Mel Blanc was doing it for the show proper.
- Saturday, 09 March, 2013
- hobbyfan said...
Remember, Blanc had it in his contract where he was the only one who got screen credit. With all the work he was doing at the time (Flintstones, Bugs Bunny), it's conceivable that Smith was Fudd on the show proper for continuity purposes, since these ads didn't appear anywhere else but on the show, if my guess is accurate.

In the wake of all the makeup sales lately, I've been perusing the "best seller" lists, and am continually surprised to see some of the listed products because I've tried them and been underwhelmed. I thought today it might be fun to discuss classic beauty products — what's worth the hype, and which beauty products are overrated? For your review, Sephora has a list of best sellers as well as a list from Allure's Best Beauty Products of 2014, Beauty.com has another list of Award Winning Beauty; and Ulta has a list of their fan favorites.
My list of the overrated beauty products includes:
- Diorshow — Meh. I briefly liked Benefit's They're Real!, but am still on the hunt for a good mascara. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a mascara gift set for the season so I can try a bunch.
- NARS Lip Pencil — I have this in a dark mauve and I hate the way it wears. I'm ok with Clinique's Chubby Sticks, but I'm always baffled when I see this one on best-of lists. (Note that Sephora has a limited edition Chubby Colour lip set for $25 with four shades.)
- Naked Palette. I WANT TO LIKE THIS SO BADLY! It just seems like a lot of blah to me. Even for daily, low-key makeup, I reach for a million other things first.
- Benefit's High Beam – meh. I do really like the eyebrow highlighter pencil in a very similar shade, though. In general, I prefer Nars the Multiple to add a bit of shimmer to my cheeks before I head out for the evening. I had a gold highlighter from Josie Maran (which they don't seem to make anymore) that I loved, and was excited to see Benefit come out with a similar gold highlighter, but after watching the video it looks like it isn't intended for my pale skin at all. I'll still try it the next time I'm in a store, though…
- Benefit's Benetint — I feel like I've been trying to like this one for 20+ years. Meh.
- Tarte cheek stains — in fairness, I've never owned one of these, but I've tried them on in the store a zillion times. They just don't look like anything on me.
My list of classic beauty products worth the hype:

Lewis Black
When it comes to topical comedians spouting rants as long and dramatic as a Shakespearean soliloquy, Lewis Black is a king. A champion of snark, Black has one of the biggest bullshit detectors in the world, and he can make a bottle of water into a ten-minute routine. Since appearing on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Black won two Grammies for his comedy albums, and his voice and outrage became symbols of a frustrated and seemingly disenfranchised youth. Plus, he's clearly one of the smartest men in the room (any room), touting a diploma from the Yale School of Drama. This weekend, residents of the LBC and beyond have a chance to see the sultan of sarcasm—and like George Carlin or Dennis Miller, seeing Lewis Black is a comedy performance you'll never forget. It's impossible to predict just what the hell is going to come out of his mouth.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Americans for Financial Reform, a leading advocacy group lobbying for major regulatory crackdowns on Wall Street, released a new ad today coming to the defense of Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), who's been under fire lately for his support for an independent Consumer Financial Protection Agency and for generally backing greater reforms of the financial markets. In particular, Tester's been taking a lot of heat from a secretive, deep-pocketed organization called the Committee for Truth in Politics, which has targeted Tester and called the financial reform supported by the Montana senator a $4 trillion bank bailout in disguise. (That language, you'll remember, comes from a memo circulated by consultant Frank Luntz trying to torpedo Wall Street reforms.) Earlier this month, Tester called the committee's attacks on him "flat-out false," and asking to see the source of the committee's funding, which it doesn't publicize. "Our economy almost collapsed a year and a half ago because there were no referees on Wall Street," Tester wrote in a statement. "Montana's Main Street small business owners and families should never have to pay the price of greed on Wall Street."
Here's the ad:

text: "There is good and there is evil. Right and wrong. Heroes and villains. And if we're blessed with wisdom, then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where light streams through. We wait in silence for these times when sense can be made, when meaningless existence comes into focus, and our purpose presents itself." ◖ Mohinder Suresh ● NBC's Heroes RP ● Multi-verse/ship ◗ Under normal circumstances, Mohinder is a very curious, polite, soft spoken, proper, and even shy evolved human with the ability of enhanced strength. Get on his bad side though, and you'll get quite a glare with a side of snark. Oh, and he can be awkward, especially around women. [ Geneticist | Hero | ...Chai lover ♥ ] Name: Mohinder SureshCanon: NBC's HeroesAbility: Enhanced Strength (+agility/stamina)Canon Point: Will default to post-canon if not specified.Height: 5'10Weight: 160 lbsSexuality: HetPlace of Birth/Hometown: Chennai, India (Formerly Madras)Accent: Although he's from India, they changed his accent to a British one on the show because of where he went to college. I don't write it out phonetically, but I try to capture it in his speech pattern instead.More Info: Full history can be found here - Heroes Wiki ◖ - Personality - ◗When provoked, snark is usually imminent. After everything Mohinder has been through, he's grown a lot less likely to take crap from others, not hesitating to stand up for himself and those he loves. When not being threatened, he's very polite and soft spoken though. Usually he's proper and shy, especially around people he doesn't know very well. His seemingly uptight nature will fade as he becomes comfortable around others (or if alcohol is involved). After breaking through his shell, his sweet and caring nature begins to shine. His curiosity sometimes gets the best of him, especially around gadgets, machinery, and untested serums. If something isn't scientifically possible, he'll be prone to a little freakout while he tries to grasp the concept. And lastly, it should go without saying that he can occasionally be somewhat awkward, especially around women. ◖ - Abilities - ◗If played after The Second Coming, Mohinder has Enhanced Strength/Agility/Stamina.After having the perfected formula wash over him, all traces of his old ability disappeared, and only the enhanced strength aspect was left. He has demonstrated this ability on several occasions, including ripping a car door off its hinges to use as a make-shift shield. This ability also seems to give Mohinder enhanced agility, which is displayed by Peter Petrelli while responding to an emergency call.One weakness displayed is that when Mohinder is in an insane asylum, the drugs they give him prevent him from using his ability. Once Ando switches the drugs with aspirin, Mohinder is able to easily break out of a straitjacket and easily breaks down his cell door. (- From HeroesWiki) ◖ - Very Condensed History - ◗Long story short, Dr. Mohinder Suresh is a genetics professor from India who took up the research into evolved humans after the death of his father. Steadily unraveling the mysteries of his father's research, as well as determined to find his father's killer, eventually Mohinder joined the Company, and later defected to Pinehearst. Mohinder's research has since made the ground-breaking discovery of the way a normal human could gain abilities, with Mohinder using the new treatment on himself and becoming an artificial evolved human. Mohinder was formerly on the run from the government after escaping again from Emile Danko and his forces but, after the shutdown of Building 26 and the death of "Sylar", he went back to India, where he became a teacher again and lived with his former girlfriend, Mira Shenoy.However, after visiting the Carnival, Mohinder was attacked by Samuel Sullivan, who was looking for a film depicting his father showing how Samuel's ability can be vastly magnified. Hiro saved Mohinder, but put him in an asylum to keep him out of the way for the next few weeks. A mentally scrambled Hiro and Ando later rescued Mohinder and teleported him to Noah's apartment where he then built another compass to help take down Samuel. (- From HeroesWiki)

NEW YORK—July 30, 2013 – Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) announced today it will be the exclusive home to legendary radio personality Art Bell, marking the return of the trailblazing late night host to radio with a new, expanded live, nightly call-in show on which he will explore the paranormal, unexplained and more with expert guests and listeners nationwide.
Art Bell's Dark Matter will debut in fall 2013 on Indie, SiriusXM channel 104, airing nightly from 10:00 pm – 1:00 am ET (7:00 – 10:00 pm PT). Bell will host the show from his home studio in Pahrump, Nevada—near the storied Area 51—opening the phones lines and inviting listeners and expert guests to join his uncensored, unscripted nightly conversation about a wide variety of topics including: the paranormal, near-death experiences, quantum physics, extraterrestrial life and the unusual.
A 2008 inductee to the National Radio Hall of Fame, Bell was one of the top five most listened-to talk hosts in America when he was syndicated weeknights from 1993-2003, sharing the top rankings with Howard Stern, Dr. Laura and Rush Limbaugh, with as many as fifteen million listeners on 500 radio stations. Howard Stern and Dr. Laura are also exclusively heard on SiriusXM.
"SiriusXM is the perfect fit for me and my new show Art Bell's Dark Matter," said Art Bell. "Though invisible, dark matter accounts for gravitational forces observed in the universe—expect these forces to be at work in the uncensored, unrestricted creative arena of satellite radio, a medium with truly extraterrestrial reach."
"We are excited to be the exclusive home of Art Bell, who has captivated a nation of listeners throughout his career with his intelligent and inquisitive, yet entertaining, style," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content Officer, SiriusXM. "Art Bell left terrestrial radio after the biggest possible successes. We are honored that Art now wants to work with SiriusXM to write his next chapter; his vision takes advantage of our best strengths and his new show will be uncensored, unrestricted, uncluttered and utterly unique. With his return to radio on SiriusXM, he will be able to reach millions of longtime listeners and new fans everywhere in the nation."
Bell started in radio at age thirteen when he became a licensed amateur radio operator, a license and interest that he holds to this day. He hosted radio shows while serving in the Air Force in Vietnam, became an engineer when he returned to the U.S., and returned to the airwaves with a late night show on a Las Vegas radio station that ultimately became his nationally syndicated show "Coast to Coast AM."
Art Bell's Dark Matter will be available on SiriusXM On Demand after it airs for subscribers listening via the SiriusXM Internet Radio App for smartphones and other mobile devices or online at siriusxm.com.

Radio Host Art Bell Joins SiriusXM To Present Talk Show About The Paranormal
58 Comments
Coast to Coast is still on. Bell is getting a new show with a new name..
The honorary mayor of Pahrump, Nevada.
I remember Art complaining about his free over-the-air show being charged a signup subscription fee to listen to his past shows on his website and how he was totally against charging a fee for it — And now this? Sirius subscribers will have to obviously pay to hear these new shows. I did vote in the positive for Art to be inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame (presumably over-the-air-radio) not the Sirius Radio Hall of Fame. Sorry, but I pay for enough items already and will not be joining Sirius. Good luck, Art.
Art Bell was/is the master of night radio. I welcome him back! Only problem. I want to again listen to the master but the cost of Sirius radio's subscription is a bit to much for me. Now you need to buy the radio. Wish there was another way. Anyhow everyone is buzzed about Art coming back! Way to go!
I know. When he was on FM I refused to pay so I would listen to him online on several Canadian stations. But I like him so much I'm willing, since there isn't any other option, to pay Sirius $14.49 a month to listen. And I don't listen to anything else on Sirius because I haven't taken the time to figure out how you know what time a show is on. I have had lots of problems with time-outs but that is because I have Fairpoint and the service is intermittant. I live in the boonies so I don't think it will be fixed for a long time. Also Firefox plug-in for Flash crashes if I listen and open websites with graphics at the same time. I have an FM transmitter so when I go to bed I can transmit the show from my computer to my bedside radio. And since there is nothing else running on the computer then it works fine.
Poor Riley Martin…
Art Bell is the greatest talk show host of all time, bar none.
He's in a class by himself. I've been listening to talk shows on the radios since the mid 1960's across all markets.
The unique style of Art Bell cannot be copied by anyone else.
He's the one and only. Welcome back Art.
Ditto bar none Bell is the best and I can hardly wait!
Well look who's back on the air once again…what is this, his third or fourth attempt at a radio program about this subject matter? He does realize Coast to Coast AM is still on, right?
Third or fourth attempt at a radio program about this subject matter? Sorry, but he's only attempted one, and it's still running. He has retired as a host a few times; a simple internet search would provide you with reasons why.
You may not have noticed (I wouldn't be surprised) that the current host of Coast to Coast AM is a dunce who still can't wrap his mind around the concept of a follow-up question.
True Coast to Coast AM fans and anyone who genuinely craves information about the paranormal are stoked about Art's return. Let's just hope he sticks around a while.
As for the high price of a Sirius subscription, wait a few days until someone uploads the audio to YouTube.
I wonder what George Noory thinks about all of this. Art Bell must be getting paid a long buck to come back on the air. He hasn't done a guest spot on Coast to Coast in a few years. I don't have Sirius on my radio in the bedroom so I'll stick with George for now
Just re-read this article, Art's show won't be a conflict for Coast to Coast as it airs at 7pm west coast time. All is good and props to Art for making a comeback
Somewhere In Time?? The time is September 16! I can't wait. Welcome back Art!!
Art, Art, let a fart
Blew the whole place apart
Wants a comeback, where to start
Went with Sirius, instead of Wal-Mart
Art apparently has been uneasy with George Noory taking "C2C" in a direction away from the paranormal. I have to say I agree, every time I tune in, Noory has some Musical guest on or some loonie spewing conspiracy theories with absolutely no backup. What a Snore. Bring back the Ghost Stories, Ouija board encounters, exorcisms, and investigations of La Chupacabra…Go Art!
I'm all for the conspiracy theories. George Noory is just a terrible host. The man is never prepared, does not listen to his guests and will ask them questions they've already answered, simply cannot fathom the concept of a follow-up question, and seems disinterested in anything but his "fame".
Norry the self aggrandizing nit wit that always cuts off the guest speaker just when they are about to make a pertinent comment. He never fails to interject himself into the subject matter in order to embellish his own ego. After all it's about little more than George Norry. Not the subject, the guest speaker or least of all the audience
Noory sucks! Thanksss ART YOUR THE KING!
Welcome back. You are loved and have been missed. I know your show will be top notch. Can't wait..Back to a real show. Coast to Coast has changed. For the worse. I believe George has gone to the other side.
This is a great day! Art bell made the night a truly fun and exciting place. I can't wait to hear the GIS again, I will gladly pay a few bucks a month for sirus to listen to the greatest radio personality EVER!!! I can't help but smile with glee at the prospect of George noory being run out of town along with the show he destroyed. Once this news goes wide there will be excitement not seen amoung radio listeners since stern joined sirus. Art bell fans don't just love his show we love and admire the man. The fall of 2013 can't come soon enough.
Seems bizarre that Art is back in Nevada and starting a new show. No room for another host on Coast, Noory and Wells have now become that show. I wish Art success, but if we have to pay to listen, I won't be there. Radio/speech should be free. I'll be staying with Coast and listening to Arts re-runs.
Radio isn't free, you pay with little bit's of your soul during commercial's, and C2C has gotten especially bad with extra long commercial breaks lately. I think satellite radio is only a few bucks a month so it seems like a fair price to not have to hear commercials, or very very limited commercials at least.
Art Bell changed my life. I have listened to him since 1996. He can talk about a blank, white wall and make it interesting. He IS truly the King. No one can match him. I was heart broken when he went off the air. Art fought for the lessening of the commercial breaks, he lost. I still listen to C2C but it has become too commercialized and big time. When Art was back in the day in Pahrump, no screeners, just Art, his cigarette, a hot cup of coffee and Dam good radio. I hate to spend the money to hear him but you know, even though I don't want to, to hear him again I just have too. Art, You have millions of fans out here, putting our hard earned cash out there to hear you. I hope you don't let us down. Jack Seccombe.
Have fun listening to George hock vitamins and nutritional suplements and such at ya.
Were ready for the comeback. Let John B take over the Flagship at Coast and move Noory to Saturday nights only. Watch the boost in ratings.
This is some of the BEST news I've heard in a long while. Can't wait, Art!
Art Bell Man you rock my world can't wait but I won't be paying for radio. Guess I will have to listen to the old reruns astalavista monsherrie
I heard the good news from a Coast caller on John B. Wells program this eve.
So glad to know Art will be back live on the air real soon.
Not soon enough for me, but soon.
I'd pay to listen, especially with less commercials.
Also, happy to know Art has more freedom to take his creative gift of talk radio'and his voice', to its zenith once again.
Pahrump, The High Desert Air, will be alive', once again.
This is the best news I've heard in decades…
Thank you, thank you very much!
I'm crushed that Art Bell will only be on Sirius Radio. We need him also on AM radio for those of us who don't have Sirius! Please Art. Consider AM radio! We all miss you terribly!
George Noory's listener numbers will plummet. We have missed you ART!!
Welcome back Art! Loved hearing you late into the night many, many times and looking forward to it again!!
Outstanding news! The guy has a once in a generation voice.
Yes, thanks for clearing sirius radio for me…I wasn't sure how it works. $$$$
Welcome back Art

Eurosport expert Arsene Wenger issued a stern warning to
Juventus as he gave his thoughts on the latest round of Europa League matches.
Juventus face a trip to Poland to take on Lech Poznan, and
the Gunners boss believes it will be a difficult match for the Italians.
"It's not going to be easy for Juventus because Lech Poznan
defeated Manchester City there," said Wenger.
"Arsenal played at Legia Warsaw before the beginning of
the season. So I can tell you that going to Poland now, in December, it's going
to be very tough. Lech Poznan have already beaten Manchester City, so now they will
think why not defeat beat Juventus too? It's going to be a very tough game."
Wenger also believes Lille can expect a difficult time as
they travel to Lisbon to play Sporting - and called into question the French
side's commitment to the tournament.
"Lille are doing well. But they play better in
Ligue 1 than in the Europa League," he said.
"Are they trying to save some energy? Are they
completely focused on the Europa League?
"And winning in Portugal is very complicated for
everybody. With Arsenal in the Champions League we have never won in Portugal.
"They play above themselves in the Europa Cup, they make
themselves very tough to beat at home. It is going to be difficult for
Wenger also discussed PSV Eindhoven's clash with Sampdoria -
a match he believes can go either way.
"It's a very open match," he said. "You never
beat PSV easily.
"They always manage to re-build their teams because
they have a big scouting network. They are really tough to defeat.
"Dutch players never give the ball away easily, and you
never beat them easily because they always behave intelligently. And they are
not scared to play."
Watch the video to hear all Wenger's thoughts.

ACT: A Mental Health Strategy For Overcoming Life's Obstacles
Sometimes you are just rolling along and -- WHAM! -- you are broadsided by an unexpected obstacle. It might be a physical obstacle, such a being stuck in traffic. Or it might be another kind of obstacle, one that is more "internal," an emotion or a way of thinking that is having a negative impact on you.
No matter the obstacle, there is a simple and practical strategy that can help you move through the obstacle and either get back on track or find a new track all together!
Let's look at the first example. You are heading to an important appointment and suddenly you find yourself stuck in a congested roadway. Traffic is not moving. You begin to notice your anxiety (and maybe your anger) increasing as you realize that you may be late for your appointment. If you stay in that state, your body will tense, you might grip the wheel tighter, you might furrow your brow, your eyes might widen, your heart might increase.
All of these physical symptoms are congruent with a threat state. In neuroscience, this state is described as an AWAY state; your body is preparing to protect you from the threat before you. Interestingly, when you are in a threat state, you experience tunnel vision; you quite literally are limited in your ability to perceive and to think.
Instead of staying in the threat state, you could try this simple strategy, called ACT:
A - Accept your current reality
C - Choose a vision of what you want in this situation
T - Take action to move TOWARD your vision
So... instead of gripping the wheel, furrowing your brow and maybe releasing some unpleasant expletives, you say the following (to yourself, or out loud):
A - I accept that I am stuck in traffic and I might be late for my appointment
C - I want to look for an opportunity to get to my appointment as soon as possible and I want to feel good when I arrive
T - I will:
- Take a deep breath
- Call ahead and indicate that I am stuck in traffic and might be late for the appointment
- Look around to see if I can make eye contact with someone to let me cut in front of them
- Smile at the person with whom I make eye contact
- Prepare for what I will say when I arrive at the appointment, and visualize myself there
- Remind myself that it is most important to arrive safe and feeling good
You might do all or some of these things, or you might choose to do other things such as listen to calming music or recite a mantra that has meaning for you. The idea is, while you are taking action to move TOWARD your vision, you are NOT wasting energy and valuable neural resources focusing on moving AWAY from your obstacle. A positive, toward state provides you will a broadened perspective; you are able to access more internal and external resources to help you in that moment.
Chances are you will get to your appointment sooner. Or, at the very least, you'll arrive much more positive and calm when you do arrive.
Let's look at another example. My beautiful mother has dementia. It sucks. When she first started experiencing symptoms, it was overwhelming. I found myself becoming anxious and sad just at the thought of going to see her. I felt helpless, angry and vulnerable. Then, I felt guilty; here I was thinking of myself when my poor mother was mentally deteriorating.
Then, I decided to ACT. Here is how that went for me:
A - I accept that mom has dementia and it sucks -- for her and for those of us who love her
C - I want to see her as often as I can, and to feel good when I go and when I leave
T - I will:
- Go to visit only after I have had a good night's sleep
- Meditate before I go
- Bring people with me; mom always liked lots of noise
- Make physical contact with mom (hold her hand, rub her back)
- Smile when I arrive and when I leave
- Remind myself that any unpleasantries are not my mom, they are the disease that grips her brain
I decided to ACT in this situation well over five years ago, and I never, ever, not once, hesitate to go and see my mom. I truly and completely look forward to it. I feel good when I arrive and when I leave. Because I am moving TOWARD my vision, I am not stuck in the negativity that arrives when I focus on moving AWAY from the reality of her disease.
So, give it a try the next time you feel stuck! Make sure you address and acknowledge all three elements of ACT. The "I accept" element is very important. Do not leave it out. It simply means that you acknowledge that "it is what it is." It does not mean you like it or that you are happy that it happened; it just means that you accept that it "is."

People spend over a third of their waking life at work, but levels of work satisfaction vary widely from person to person. Amy Wrzesniewski's research shows that those who consider their work to be a job are generally interested only in the material benefits from their work and do not seek or receive any other type of reward from it; those who consider their work to be a career have a deeper personal investment in their work and generally seek to advance not only monetarily but also within the occupational structure; and those who consider their work to be a calling usually find that their work is inseparable from their life.[1] Those with a calling work not for financial gain or for career advancement, but for the fulfillment that the work brings. Wrzesniewski explains that those who consider their work to be a calling generally have a stronger and more rewarding relationship to their work. To determine whether your work is a job, career, or a calling, visit Authentic Happiness to take Wrzesniewski's short assessment, entitled "Work-Life Questionnaire."
Use this four-step process when you're curious about a reaction you had, don't like a reaction you had, or simply want to find a new way of looking at a problem. This technique is based on the work of Drs. Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck, and can help you better understand why your react the way you do to certain situations. First, describe factually what pushed your buttons (who, what, where, when); second, write down your reaction -- both what you did and how you felt (I felt angry and yelled); third, write down exactly what you were thinking in-the-moment during the challenge; and fourth, ask yourself whether your reaction helped or hurt your ability to find a solution. If you find that your reactions are harming your leadership ability, relationships, or other aspects of your life, target your thinking, which is where we have the most control.
Kids have zest in abundance, but as we age, societal and organizational pressures quietly tell us that having fun and being serious don't go together. Not surprisingly, zest is a strong predictor of work and life satisfaction. In addition, fun helps you socialize, provides an outlet for learning and creativity, and has great health benefits. The Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor posts numerous resources, including research, about the benefits of fun.
Research by Dr. Christopher Peterson and his team shows that using your strengths in new ways every day for a week increases happiness and decreases depression. In addition, Harter et al. found that those who get to do what they do best at work on a daily basis have increased loyalty, retention, and productivity.[2] Two strengths tests are the StrengthsFinder by Gallup and the VIA Inventory of Strengths.
When you hear the word "optimism," do you think of a big smiley face, Pollyana, or an ostrich with its head stuck in the sand? That is not the kind of optimism that builds resilience. Optimism as a resilience ability is about a thinking style and not about a personality trait. Optimistic thinkers are able to identify what's in their control during a setback. Second, optimistic thinkers know "this too shall pass." They know that a stressor might be around for awhile, but it likely won't be around forever. Finally, optimistic thinkers know how to compartmentalize. For example, if they have a setback at work, the fallout does not bleed into other areas of their life. Conversely, pessimistic thinkers think the cause of a problem will be around for a very long period of time, affect many different areas of their life, and they fail to see where they have any control.
Remember the children's book The Little Engine that Could? The phrase the engine kept uttering was, "I think I can, I think I can." That is self-efficacy -- your ability to believe you can accomplish what you want to accomplish. The tendency to remember and dwell on only the times when you've failed or done less than your best often thwarts your ability to remember what you've accomplished. To build your self-efficacy, keep a journal of "wins." Write down all of the times in your life when you have exceeded expectations, accomplished tough goals, and were in control of your life. Review this list often and keep adding to it. Encourage your kids to start building their list now. In addition, don't be afraid to start small. Small victories create momentum, which is a great foundation from which to succeed at more complicated tasks.
Shelly Gable's research shows that how you respond to a person's good news actually does more for building a relationship than how you respond to bad news.[3] This applies across the board, from personal relationships to business interactions. Responding in an active and constructive way -- that is, helping the bearer of good news savor it -- is the only response that builds good relationships. Killing the conversation by offering a terse response or hijacking the conversation by making it about you are quick ways to weaken a relationship.

Juni 2010
BeschreibungThe loosening of joints and wear of implant joints were analyzed with a view of elastohydrodynamic theory of lubricant. There is shown a perspectivity of hydrodynamical friction in comparison with boundary friction in existent constructions of metallic and polymeric implants of tribo-node. There is developed and shown the elastohydrodynamical calculation of implant joints. There are given comparative researches and discussions of metallic and nonmetallic pairs in the mode hydrodynamical friction according to parameters and distribution diagrams of contact pressures, thickness and temperatures of lubricant layer of implant tribo-node and modulus of elongation of tribosurfaces' materials. There are given some constructions of elastohydrodynamical implant joints.
