Spark Plugs Now Check Engine Light...
Well, changed out the plugs today. Put the rail back on. Apparently miss 2 plugs, unknowing this started engine. Heard knocking sound of cyl not firing I guess. Turned engine off but at same time check engine came on. Redid the rail and engine sounds fine but engine light still on. Comes up with code p0305 which would match the plug boot I missed. Anyway, please chime in with some insight. Thank you all.
clear the code maybe?
It'll go off in a few starts. Ignore it until then, or unplug the battery.
X2-it will clear itself after so many starts. Do not worry about it.
Thanks, got real nervous when I first started up and heard the knocking. Looked at 4x4explor and jeep.us41.org and they mentioned missing the plug boots when putting the rail back on. I'm not the most mechanically inclined but wanted to do this myself since I've heard maintenence on the 4.0 is so simple. Now just need to get the oil done and flush the radiator since I don't know if the previous owner did it at the 60 month mark. Saw in the owners manual to do it at 60 months or 100K miles. Also talked to a mechanic buddy of mine and he said as long as I'm not wheeling through water not to worry about the transfer case and differentials until 60K miles. What do you guys think?
I always take the approach that the previous owner did nothing to my new vehicle and I change out most everything that can be changed. You will learn a bit by doing services earlier and know it has been done right. As for the trans and diff I would take the same approach and assume the last guy wheeled it in water. That way you will know exactly where everything stands.
Actually I did research the previous owner. He was an old man who used it to golf on the weekends. Was a local jeep. No mods what so ever. Had Just under 27K miles when I bought it this past August. Was garage kept. Fenders are still black and shiney. Had original tires. Has original top, etc.... Anyway to check the diff's for water prior to pulling them apart?
You can pull the plugs and stick your finger in. If there was water, it will look like a milk shake. If it was babied by and older man, I doubt there was any chance of water getting in.
Disconnect the battery's negative lead for two minutes, that'll clear the codes. :)
I was wondering when u were gonna chime in on this one. Thanks for the info. Will try in the morning.
It was wierd, disconnected the battery. It reset the engine light and there were no codes coming up. But then for a while the engine would turn over and run but would then idle down and stall. It's running fine now though after a while going down the road it went back to normal. Anyone know if that is normal???
Thanks all for your input and help. Learning as I go and annoying the crap out of the wife who told me to get allthis done in the shop in the first place... But I think its a learning experience doing it myself.

A few months back I was invited to attend, as a speaker, an event on corporate blogging where the people in the audience were mostly PR Managers for different companies in my country. Along with the PowerPoint presentation, I have decided to also give those who attended the event more information on corporate blogging through an eBook I wrote at that time.
The following post is the first chapter of that eBook, translated into English. The rest of the chapters will be also published, over the next few days, except for the weekend. Now, let's see what corporate blogging is about and if it is the right tool for you and your business.
1.1 Blog, Blogging, Blogosphere
The term blog, contracted form of weblog, defines a certain type of website where texts, photos, audio or video content are published in chronological order, much like an online diary.
The first blogs date back to 1993 when the term was first introduced, but they only started to be used more frequently in 1998 when the first blog community, Open Diary, appeared.
The true hit of the online mainstream happened around 2002-2003, when the first blog reactions regarding the Iraq war were published and when Google acquired the Blogger.com platform, which allows any person with Internet access to create and maintain their own blog.
The Blogosphere comprises all public blogs and is defined as a community based on the theory that all existing blogs are somehow interconnected, often through blogrolls or links inserted in their content.
A blogroll is a list of links, commonly displayed in a blog's sidebar. The links usually point to blogs the author deems relevant to the content of their own blog or simply wants to recommend to their readers.
Therefore, through blogrolls, it is believed that any two blogs can be connected through one or more intermediary links.
Blogs allow publishing content in a wide range of types and formats, and these types of content lead to a first classification of blogs:
- a. Classic blog – text content
- b. Photoblog – publishes photo content
- c. Videoblog – publishes video content
- Audioblog (podcast) – publishes audio content
Microblogs and tumbleblogs, both defined as blogs with extremely short entries, are two other blog formats gaining more and more popularity in the past few years.
Regardless of information format, the online publishing of content through blog platforms is called blogging, and the author of a blog is called blogger.
1.2 Corporate blogging
Once they have hit the spotlights, the blogs' potential to communicate effectively was immediately noticed by companies.
Initially seen as a mere tool to promote products and services, blogs gradually became part of a company's brand. Aside from placing a name and a logo on them, blogs granted companies a persona they could be associated with. In short, they made them human. The corporate blog managed to break the barrier between the "inaccessible company" and its customers.
The true value of a company is undoubtedly fueled by its employees' individual values. But how exactly can these values be expressed? How can they be best presented to the world?
Blogs allow companies to position their employees as industry leaders through the opinions they publish, through the breakthroughs shared on the blog, all in a human, personal form that eases communication with customers.
A few companies that have successfully adopted the concept of blogs are:
Adobe – http://blogs.adobe.com/
Microsoft – http://www.microsoft.com/communities/blogs/ and http://blogs.msdn.com/
Google – http://googleblog.blogspot.com/
The benefits of a well crafted and maintained blog are plenty, but is it the right tool for companies? Find out in the next chapters.

Turner lines up two M6 GT3s for 2016 race season
I was wondering if Turner would campaign one of the new M6 GT3s. Well, I guess two is way better than one!
Seven-Time Championship Winning BMW Race Team, Turner Motorsport is excited to announce the next chapter in their 20-year racing lineage.
With 325 professional race starts with BMW, Turner Motorsport looks to continue the highly successful and long standing run behind the blue and white roundel.
Turner has ordered two BMW M6 GT3 cars which BMW Motorsport is on track to deliver by the end of this year in anticipation for the 2016 24 Hours at Daytona.
The team will campaign two all-new BMW M6 GT3 cars in the 2016 24 Hours at Daytona in the new homologated GT3 spec class of what will be the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
"We are super excited for the new M6 GT3," commented Will Turner. "BMW Motorsport has been extremely busy with testing and development on the new car so I am confident when we get the cars they will be very well sorted out Will Turner added, "The initial testing with the M6 has demonstrated the new car to be very strong so we can't wait to get our hands on these cars."
With test dates on the calendar, Turner has yet to determine the final driver line ups for the 24 Hour at Daytona.
"Once we go testing, we hope to nail down our 24 Hour at Daytona drivers as well as probable 2016 full season drivers for both IMSA and Pirelli World Challenge."
With the 2016 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship schedule finalized the preliminary budget has been determined for the 11-race season allowing Turner to begin planning for the probable return and full season effort with the blue and yellow BMWs.
In addition to likely return to endurance racing, the team is also in the initial planning stages to make a return to the Pirelli World Challenge sprint racing format with the new M6 GT3.
"Both IMSA and PWC season long programs for 2016 are shaping up and I hope that we will be able to make an official announcement in the near future," said Will Turner.
With 2016 racing plans already in motion, Turner looks forward to continued partnership with the current 2015 race partners and sponsors like IHG Rewards Club, Alvarez & Marsal, Escort, Motul, H&R Springs as well as other long time partners.
The BMW M6 GT3 features a longer wheelbase than the Z4 GT3 with a 4.4-liter twin turbocharged V8 (similar to street M5 & M6) engine rumored to exceed 500 horsepower. The new platform will address the admitted shortcomings for the Z4 GT3 which struggled for top-speed.
Stay tuned as 2016 programs are finalized and driver lineups are determined in the new BMW M6 GT3.
Since the M6 has not officially been released by BMW we took our best shot at coming up with an accurate rendering of the new M6 GT3 to show our fans what it may look like in the iconic Turner blue and yellow," said Director of Marketing, Jay Baier. "Andy Blackmore did a great job with the artwork based off the images of the camouflage car to come up with this rendering.

By Rachel Shuster, USA TODAY
According to NBC Miami affiliate WTVJ-TV, Philadelphia 76ers center and Haitian native Samuel Dalembert and former NBA star Alonzo Mourning were instrumental in bringing some orphans out of earthquake-torn Haiti to unite with their prospective U.S. adoptive parents.
As part of the Project MediShare relief group, Dalembert and Mourning helped deliver the orphans to their new parents Tuesday at Miami International Airport.
"There's thousands and thousands of kids out there, many of which I saw today at the orphanage, that are in dire need of a home," Mourning told WTVJ. "Deplorable conditions that they do live in, and it's truly unfortunate."
Dalembert told CBS Philadelphia affiliate KYW-TV that he saw doctors having to do surgery on kitchen tables and amputating legs with saws meant for cutting wood.
"The doctors are doing the best they can but they don't have enough. We need everyone's help," said Dalembert, who was expected to play in Wednesday's home game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Dalembert, given permission by the 76ers to fly to Haiti on Monday, would like to help more orphans and says the U.S. government should "override everything and put those kids on a plane and bring them as soon as possible."
•The Indiana Pacers will donate proceeds from the past week's sale of $10 tickets for Saturday's home game against the 76ers to Haitian relief efforts of the American Red Cross.

searching for hash strings in postgres
Posted by jens in Uncategorized on September 23, 2009
For one of my projects a have a database which has a rather large table consisting of just an url and a corresponding id. For performance reasons I added a md5 column which hashes the url. With this column it should be a lot faster to look up an url.
CREATE TABLE pages ( id bigint NOT NULL, url character varying(255), md5 character(32), CONSTRAINT pages_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id) )
The faster lookup should mainly be possible through the shorter column length (and therefore smaller index). Actually I don't know if the fixed width is good or bad here, but hashes usually don't vary in length. After creating this table I added a B-Tree unique Index to the md5 column to enable a fast lookup.
After a while a noticed a rather high CPU load on lookups for this table so I tried to analyze the problem. First I tried the obvious through psql.
cloud=# explain analyze select * from pages where md5 ='abc'; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Index Scan using i_pages_md5 on pages (cost=0.00..8.50 rows=1 width=166) (actual time=0.046..0.046 rows=0 loops=1) Index Cond: (md5 = 'abc'::bpchar) Total runtime: 0.157 ms (3 rows)
As the explain shows all works perfectly fine and lookups shouldn't be a problem. So there had to be something different what was going on.
After that I tried the same select with an actual md5.
cloud=# explain analyze select * from pages where md5 = md5('abc'); QUERY PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seq Scan on pages (cost=0.00..32017.63 rows=3994 width=166) (actual time=1203.699..1203.699 rows=0 loops=1) Filter: ((md5)::text = '900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72'::text) Total runtime: 1203.769 ms (3 rows)
Now you can see the plan does change quite a lot. I have a full table scan instead of an index scan. You can also see that the query time increases nearly by factor ten thousand.
The reason for this dramatic change is a simple type mismatch. For whatever reason the md5 function will be evaluated to a string of the type text. To create a match with the column md5 all values had to be casted to that type. The side effect of this is that the index can no longer be used, because it is of the wrong type.
To solve this I just had to cast the result of the md5 function back to something that is compatible with the index type. In my case I used a fixed width character field which is represented in the database as bpchar (blank padded character). So after modifying the query to the following I was back on index usage.
cloud=# explain analyze select * from pages where md5 = md5('abc')::bpchar; QUERY PLAN --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Index Scan using i_pages_md5 on pages (cost=0.00..8.50 rows=1 width=166) (actual time=0.141..0.141 rows=0 loops=1) Index Cond: (md5 = '900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72'::bpchar) Total runtime: 0.199 ms (3 rows)
why sub-selects can be faster than inner joins
Posted by jens in Uncategorized on June 25, 2009
So here is my situation. I have 2 tables with the following DDL.
CREATE TABLE tags ( id bigint NOT NULL, "value" character varying(150), CONSTRAINT tags_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id), CONSTRAINT tags_value_key UNIQUE (value) )
CREATE TABLE sites_tags ( sites_id bigint NOT NULL, pages_id bigint NOT NULL, tags_id bigint NOT NULL, count integer, updated timestamp without time zone, CONSTRAINT sites_tags_pkey PRIMARY KEY (sites_id, pages_id, tags_id) )
As you can see, the tags table is a simple value-id-table. The second table represents a join table between pages and tags.
The goal of my Query should be to get the most used tag from the join table. Only the first x-Rows are of interest to me. To get there I used a simple limit command. So just for comparison here a simple query of the join table without the actual values.
select sum(st.count) as anzahl from sites_tags st group by st.tags_id order by anzahl desc limit 50; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Limit (cost=13185.22..13185.35 rows=50 width=12) (actual time=1974.893..1975.033 rows=50 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=13185.22..13192.27 rows=2819 width=12) (actual time=1974.888..1974.941 rows=50 loops=1) Sort Key: (sum(count)) Sort Method: top-N heapsort Memory: 18kB -> HashAggregate (cost=13056.34..13091.58 rows=2819 width=12) (actual time=1766.681..1876.092 rows=66136 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on sites_tags st (cost=0.00..10202.56 rows=570756 width=12) (actual time=0.120..690.719 rows=570756 loops=1) Total runtime: 1975.669 ms (7 rows)
This is just a statement to get you the picture of cost for a simple query (without fetching any actual values).
To make this query useful I needed to add the values. All the values will be joined through the tags table.
Here the first implementation I came up with.
select t.value,sum(st.count) as anzahl from sites_tags st inner join tags t on t.id=st.tags_id group by st.tags_id,t.value order by anzahl desc limit 50; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Limit (cost=123002.69..123002.82 rows=50 width=22) (actual time=12640.100..12640.239 rows=50 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=123002.69..124429.58 rows=570756 width=22) (actual time=12640.095..12640.153 rows=50 loops=1) Sort Key: (sum(st.count)) Sort Method: top-N heapsort Memory: 20kB -> GroupAggregate (cost=91200.58..104042.59 rows=570756 width=22) (actual time=10165.002..12537.121 rows=66136 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=91200.58..92627.47 rows=570756 width=22) (actual time=10162.562..11564.604 rows=570756 loops=1) Sort Key: st.tags_id, t.value Sort Method: external merge Disk: 18808kB -> Hash Join (cost=1877.06..24921.63 rows=570756 width=22) (actual time=259.674..3080.093 rows=570756 loops=1) Hash Cond: (st.tags_id = t.id) -> Seq Scan on sites_tags st (cost=0.00..10202.56 rows=570756 width=12) (actual time=0.070..781.449 rows=570756 loops=1) -> Hash (cost=1050.36..1050.36 rows=66136 width=18) (actual time=259.518..259.518 rows=66136 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on tags t (cost=0.00..1050.36 rows=66136 width=18) (actual time=0.027..115.197 rows=66136 loops=1) Total runtime: 12647.403 ms (14 rows)
As you can see, simply joining the table makes this query quite complex. The part which consumes most of the cost is the more complicated group by clause. Now the execution engine has to join these tables and then sort all values by id and string (mostly the value is the important part).
To avoid this there only could be one solution – remove the join. With removing the join there comes the question how to get the values from the second table. One way to do this would be to use the program (in my case a php web application) to query again for every line of the result set.
Another way to approach this would be to do a sub-select in the select section. This way you don't have the additional round trip of doing it in the application. Another advantage would be that the database would only do these sub-selects for the actually returning rows (with respect of the limit).
So here the query I came up with (with the query execution plan)
select (select value from tags t where t.id=st.tags_id),sum(st.count) as anzahl from sites_tags st group by st.tags_id order by anzahl desc limit 50; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Limit (cost=36511.94..36512.07 rows=50 width=12) (actual time=2682.650..2682.790 rows=50 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=36511.94..36518.99 rows=2819 width=12) (actual time=2682.645..2682.705 rows=50 loops=1) Sort Key: (sum(st.count)) Sort Method: top-N heapsort Memory: 20kB -> HashAggregate (cost=13056.34..36418.30 rows=2819 width=12) (actual time=1752.934..2570.690 rows=66136 loops=1) -> Seq Scan on sites_tags st (cost=0.00..10202.56 rows=570756 width=12) (actual time=0.109..713.541 rows=570756 loops=1) SubPlan -> Index Scan using tags_pkey on tags t (cost=0.00..8.27 rows=1 width=10) (actual time=0.006..0.007 rows=1 loops=66136) Index Cond: (id = $0) Total runtime: 2683.478 ms (10 rows)
As you can see i still costs a lot. It is still 3 times more expensive then doing it without the values. On the other hand the cost is only a fourth of the cost of the join. This is mostly owed to the limit clause. The join has no way of knowing that it would be enough to run the limit without the join and later join the values. So far I found no way to tell postgres to do this more efficient.
So the simplest solution for that would be to do sub-queries. With that, the limit clause will be honored.
So as this example shows, it is always a good idea to try different approaches to one and the same query. Often you can see lots of differences in the execution plan which can have a major impact on performance.

Series: Hortus Kewensis
1578 pages, 13 b/w illustrations
A reprint of a classical work in the Cambridge Library Collection.
Trained as a gardener in his native Scotland, William Aiton (1731-93) had worked in the Chelsea Physic Garden prior to coming to Kew in 1759. He met Joseph Banks in 1764, and the pair worked together to develop the scientific and horticultural status of the gardens. Aiton had become superintendent of the entire Kew estate by 1783. This important three-volume work, first published in 1789, took as its starting point the plant catalogue begun in 1773.
In its compilation, Aiton was greatly assisted with the identification and scientific description of species, according to the Linnaean system, by the botanists Daniel Solander and Jonas Dryander (the latter contributed most of the third volume). Aiton added dates of introduction and horticultural information. An important historical resource, it covers some 5600 species and features a selection of engravings. Volume 1 covers Monandria to Heptandria; Volume 2, Octandria to Monadelphia; and Volume 3, Diadelphia to Cryptogamia.

Teide National Park
Dauntingly watching out Tenerife, Teide National Park is not only the highest point in the whole Canary Islands but with a striking height of 3718m, it is considered to be the highest mountain in all of Spain. The national park, covering 189.9 sq km through volcanoes and backwoods, is both a UNESCO world heritage site as well as Spain's most popular tourist destination that attracts millions of visitors each year.
Hiking the highest peak of Spain may appeal to many people, especially hikers and mountaineers, and the way the exuberant flora and fauna pleases the very soul of the nature-lovers to the depth, it makes it all more appealing and enticing. Mount Teide is definitely an amazing sight to behold, not only to be observed but to be experienced. The entire geography of the bustling crater can be felt right under your feet or simply smelling the sulphur emitted out of fumaroles can make you intoxicated, along with the scenic beauty of place- all tiny islands visible at the same time. Diverse and splendid, this place is surely one of the wonders of the world in every way.
The walk to the summit is both exciting and thrilling! Casting a look at the view without negotiating volcanic rocks underfoot can be quite difficult as your focus have to be more on self-preservation instead of the breathtaking views. The hike basically starts from La Caldera, which is a huge volcanic crater and from there, once you start your ascend, you can't help but exclaim one word, "WOW" hundreds and hundreds of times, as this place will land you up in an exotic spot straight out of children's storybook, cloaked in intense cover of laurel and huge pine trees. However, the path to your final destination will be twisted and meandering and nevertheless dangerous, so watch out!
Activities on Offer:
- Telesforo Bravo Trail is the final ascent to the summit of the volcano and the name is given in honor of the famous Tenerife geologist who has tirelessly went on discovering secrets of numerous mythical places. The entire hike covers a distance of 650m to reach the highest altitude of 3717.98m.
- If you are tired and can't go on hiking trails, Teide cable car option is easily available. However, if you are in good shape, and can easily hike, don't miss the climb through Montaña Blanca, where you have to spend a night in Altavista Mountain Refuge. This is only done so that you can wake up to a spectacular view of the sunrise in the islands. This view is so stunning and breathtakingly beautiful that once you get a sight of it, you will never ever forget it in your life, no matter how much you travel.
Getting there:
Regular flights are available from Tenerife International airport. The Canary Islands is a premium location, thus well-connected.
Staying there:
Numerous hotels and resorts dot the islands of Canary. Some are expensive, some are budgeted. Bed and breakfast accommodations are also available. However, if you want to discover more of the park, it is best to stay in Las Cañadas del Teide Parador Hotel or Altavista Refuge.
The Tenerife Walking Festival is celebrated every year in the month of March. By February, you have to register yourself.

Colin McRae and Nicky Grist produced a blistering display during today's second leg of the Swedish International Rally to keep their Ford Focus World Rally Car in the midst of a terrific battle for the top placings. The Ford Martini pairing stormed to fastest time on two of the day's six speed tests to return to Karlstad in third overall. Team-mates Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya were forced to retire the other Focus when in a comfortable top six position.
After restarting in fourth place, McRae quickly reeled in Thomas Rådström and Tommi Mäkinen to claim second. The 31-year-old Scot then set about chasing leader Marcus Grönholm and after four of today's special stages he had slashed the deficit to the Finn to under 20 seconds.
Such was the pace of McRae that on the feared Jutbo test, at more than 47km the longest and toughest of the four-day event, he shattered the stage record by 65 seconds. McRae's day was marred only by a high speed spin on the penultimate stage which dropped him behind Mäkinen and has effectively cost him any chance of catching Grönholm. The gap between McRae and Mäkinen is just 3.1 seconds with Rådström just 6.8 seconds behind.
Conditions throughout the 153km of stages were again remarkable. With no snow on the surface of the roads and forest tracks which made up the day's action, drivers had to contend with 75 per cent ice and 25 per cent gravel. Temperatures several degrees above freezing ensured a thin film of water covered the ice and Grist said the loose gravel was even muddy in parts.
"I think we've got a big battle ahead of us tomorrow," said McRae. "We were steadily pulling time back on Marcus which was important because it kept the pressure on him and he's not used to this situation. Our spin dropped us back a bit but we have plenty to drive hard for during tomorrow's stages.
"The spin happened at a fourth gear left-hand bend. The car slid sideways and spun and then we hit the bank. The impact knocked the car right round again, so we were facing the right direction. We'd lost all our momentum by then so I had to select first gear and start again. It's frustrating but the main thing is we're still here and the Focus has not missed a beat today," he added.
Sainz and Moya consolidated their overnight sixth position on this morning's opening stage and the team fitted a new differential after the test, the replacement fitted with different settings to aid stability. However midway between the service park and the start of the following test, the Focus stopped. The oil pump drive system had sheared and Sainz retired.
"It's disappointing but these things happen," said Sainz. "What matters now is that Colin has a clear run to the end and scores well. It was difficult for me this morning, especially on the long, fast corners, to feel confident. We softened the suspension to make the car more stable but weren't able to try it."
Ford Martini team director Malcolm Wilson reflected on a day in which McRae's Focus has run faultlessly. "I'm delighted with the way that Colin put himself into a situation to eat away at Marcus' lead. It's unfortunate he spun but he's still in a good position for the final day tomorrow. It's unrealistic to hope to beat Marcus but there's still an excellent battle between Tommi, Colin and Thomas.
"We won't know the exact reason for Carlos' problem until Cosworth Racing examines the engine in full but we do know it can be resolved before the Safari Rally in Kenya. Petter Solberg is testing there for us now and he's completed 300km at full rally speed today without any difficulties which is encouraging news," added Wilson.
News from our Rivals
Despite coming under intense pressure from McRae, Grönholm (Peugeot) set fastest time on three stages and starts the final leg with a 26.5 seconds lead over Mäkinen (Mitsubishi). The reigning world champion had a major escape on the long Jutbo test, twice sliding off the road and breaking three wheel rims. Amazingly, he was still second fastest. Team-mate Freddy Loix climbed onto the leaderboard but was unhappy with his car's transmission all day. Subaru duo Richard Burns and Juha Kankkunen complete the top six, Burns on the fringe of the fight for podium positions, while Kankkunen lost time with a shock absorber problem and a poor tyre choice. Francois Delecour (Peugeot) has been untroubled, the Frenchman's only concern being his lack of knowledge of an event he has not tackled since 1996. Didier Auriol (Seat) found that changes to the car's set-up improved his mood but he has struggled with tyres that have not properly come to terms with the unusual conditions. Team-mate Toni Gardemeister was the only other major retirement of the leg, the young Finn stopping in stage 11 with no oil pressure. Kenneth Eriksson (Hyundai) had a gearbox change this morning but more problems meant he tackled the last three stages without fifth gear. He is 13th and team-mate Alister McRae is 14th.
Tomorrow's Route
The final leg is the shortest of all, just five stages covering 96km awaiting competitors. After leaving Karlstad at 07.20, the day's action is based around the town of Hagfors, with two of the stages repeat runs of first leg tests. The rally returns to Karlstad for the finish at 16.04.

In a large bowl with an electric mixer or wire whisk, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract; continue to whip until the whites hold soft peaks. Sift the cake flour, sugar, and salt, together; gently fold the dry ingredients into the whites with a rubber spatula.
Take 2 (6-ounce) ramekins and put 10 raspberries in the bottom of each. Spoon the batter into the ramekins and set them in a bamboo steamer with a lid. Heat 2-inches of water in a wok over medium flame, set the steamer in the wok and steam the custard for 15 to 20 minutes.
Run a thin knife around edges of the ramekins and turn upside down onto plates. Garnish with raspberries, mint, and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.
VARIATION: To steam the custard at the same time as the Black Bass in Miso Soup entree, simply prepare the batter before assembling the steamers. Wrap the ramekins in plastic wrap (so they won't smell of fish) and put them in the top tier of the bamboo steamer. Steam everything together as directed in the recipe.

Hot ChocolateMature
I stood behind the counter cleaning some shot glasses, just like I would when things were slow. My white dicky dirt's sleeves were rolled up to my elbows, and my brown hair was on my eyes. Time to get a hair cut.
The door opened all of a sudden to let the cold night air in, and my ears picked up a male voices. I let my eyes scan the room and noticed that there was a girl with him, and she was blushing.
"Again, I'm sorry for what happened before Lexi."
"It's okay. At least you have the decency of apologizing."
Both of them sat on the bar stools a few feet away from me. Perfect, a date. I couldn't have thought of anything more annoying.
"Hey, chap! Could you serve us some hot chocolate please?"
I really didn't feel like it, but I poured them the chocolate anyways. They were customers after all. The two ate and talked for at least an hour, in my minds clock, that is. The girl's eye color kept changing, and I felt someone tamper with my mind. Seriously? Even though it was just a slight nudge, I still decided to bloke my mind from it. You never know what could come from being careless.
"Does the pretty lass want anything else to eat?"
I wanted to be courteous for a change. It was my job to be, yes, but it felt nice once in a while to do it just because. The man with the black hair asked if she wanted anything else to eat. I heard her say "no", but she did mention another cup of chocolate.
"Hot chocolate again. And for me as well."
When they were done, they walked out the door with less anxiety than before. Something told me I would see them again, but I paid no mind to it. My shift was done, and it had been a long one, at that. So I finally grabbed my jacket and started for home, screaming "cheers" at Johnny right before exiting the bar/restaurant. The night wasn't as cold as the one before, and I had picked a warmer jacket this time. Again, I climbed up to the top of one of the buildings, and used my mind to push my jump farther. I just couldn't wait until I got home and had a chance to lay down on my soft bed.
I had reached the prestigious Grey Academy when I felt my eyes start to give in. My concentration broke in mid leap, making my jump too short.
"Crap!" I exclaimed, just as my foot slipped from the end of the roof. I felt my body fall, but not in slow motion as one would think. I landed on hard surface just as soon as I had started falling.
"Argh!" I yelped in pain, clutching my bleeding leg. It was broken and the bone had ripped the skin, making it stick out. Hot tears made their way down my face, and my black pants were socked in blood already. It felt as if my leg was being stabbed over and over again. Then someone slid a door open very close to me, and I heard a voice exclaim "bloody hell". I would have gladly joined in with the exclamations of surprise this person was emmiting, but I was in too much pain to even care.
In a few second, though, I felt my body change completely. The pain was gone and I wasn't laying on the ground. In fact, I couldn't feel anything underneath me, until my foot hit the end of a roof and slid off. Then, without knowing how or why, I found myself falling again, and landing on a thick mattress.
"What the-"
"You okay?"
It was the same voice from before.

TORRINGTON, Conn. (AP) Jordan Williams, a former Connecticut high school basketball star now playing for the University of Maryland, has been charged with assault in his hometown.
Williams, a 6-10 freshman forward, is one of five teenagers arrested for an assault on Aug. 8, Torrington police said.
Authorities told The Register Citizen newspaper that Williams, 18, turned himself in at the police department Saturday and was charged with misdemeanor assault and breach of peace. He was released on a promise to appear in Bantam Superior Court on Oct. 5.
Police declined to release other details, saying the warrants are sealed.
Williams did not return a message sent to his Facebook account Monday.
Maryland basketball coach Gary Williams, who is not related to the player, said in a written statement that he was aware of the arrest and was monitoring the situation.
"We will let the judicial system run its course before making any decisions," he said. "Any discipline coming from the campus will be in accordance with our student-athlete code of conduct."
The four other people charged, a 19-year-old woman, a 17-year-old girl, a 16-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy, surrendered earlier and face similar charges.

New. Fresh. Alive. Growing, vibrant. That's life. That's always life. Once again, that's my life.
How fun. How exciting. How relaxing. How all-encompassing. These are some of the feelings that suddenly are tickling me. Making me laugh.
I still wonder how I can bring this stuff into a career. I know that I can bring a lot to a work environment, but I think that I need more of a work environment committed to doing the same to feel really at peace with a space. I'm not sure how many places are creating these intentions; I may be creating my own workspace to pioneer some of this.
Doing the Work
When I talk with my friends, we talk a lot about doing the work. Clearing stuff internally. When you do the work, things can open up and come into your life. If you don't, it doesn't matter how much spiritual energy gets shot into your system, you won't be able to hold it for very long. Old grudges with family, past griefs with lost lovers, and wishful thinking for days gone past all have to be cleared out. Working on yourself is like a big rummage sale...or a bonfire. Just don't torch your house in the process.
I'm not very grounded with these words right now, so I guess I'm floating a little bit. Working out and walking and hiking are always important pieces to my path. They bring me back down out of my head into the world around me.
Fresh Air, Breathing
I feel like I have space again...to expand. I've been pretty well-confined in what I could do for some time, and a lot of that was intentional. My system was soooo out of whack after I'd moved out of San Francisco. I was struggling on a lot of fronts; I don't think I'd ever been so emotionally out of sorts before. In this last year, I've fought back to my center. Living where I live really helped. I've learned just how important one's environment is in all this. I continue to have a greater and greater appreciation for why people retire from the world during a spiritual awakening process. I really flung the doors wide open, and then it's like I had a stampede through my soul. Not fun. I had to learn just how important ego and closing doors really is after all.
Keep Going
This feels so new. This part of my life. I don't really have a framework for it anymore, and I find myself in the deliciously vulnerable space of not knowing what's coming next. This "deliciousness" is an acquired taste; it was not something that I'd ever appreciated or wanted before. But as my illusions around being able to plan and control my life have fallen away, I've come to appreciate this growing, evolving, ever-shifting part of life. And no more than now is that feeling present. Because I've finished a job, my lease is up, and I can literally go anywhere.
However, I like where I am right now. I am excited about exploring new meditation groups and other spiritual communities around here. But who knows what door will open or what person will walk through that open door. It's all just too new to say.

A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

By Kevin Allen and A.J. Perez, USA TODAY
PITTSBURGH The debate over Alex Ovechkin vs. Sidney Crosby divides along party lines.
PHOTO GALLERY: See images from careers of both stars
Conservative, traditional fans would favor Pittsburgh Penguins captain Crosby, an old-school superstar with a polite, buttoned-up demeanor.
Fans who seek change in the game would favor Washington Capitals star Ovechkin, a flamboyant personality who celebrates each goal as if he has just won a multimillion-dollar lottery.
"Two great players, two great guys," Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke said. "One you want to buy the house next door, and one you want to read about in People magazine."
The Capitals, leading 2-0 in the best-of-seven series, visit the Penguins tonight (7 ET, Versus) in one of the most talked-about NHL playoff matchups in recent years. When the focus was on Ovechkin vs. Crosby squaring off in their first series, both said it isn't about two guys. But this has been about two guys.
In the first two games, each player has four goals. That includes three each Monday, when they became the first opposing players to score hat tricks in the same playoff game since 1996.
"They aren't into personal statistics. But they still manage to amaze everyone every night," Penguins right wing Bill Guerin said.
MVP VOTE: Ovechkin still alive in MVP Madness
The Penguins won Stanley Cup titles in 1991 and 1992 with Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux, but Penguins TV broadcaster Paul Steigerwald said the attention this series is receiving exceeds all others in team history.
"This is the biggest early series ever because the stage is bigger now," Steigerwald said. "We have games nationally televised now, and we have this great star power and we have more people on the fringe who are interested."
Both players steered talk of the series to their teams, but they understand their importance to league marketing. The first season they were in the NHL together, 2005-06, it was suggested that they could do for the NHL what Larry Bird and Magic Johnson did for the NBA in the 1980s.
GAME 3 PREVIEW: Caps visit Pens
Both already have won the Hart Trophy as league MVP. Crosby helped his team to the Stanley Cup Finals last year.
Undoubtedly, a shoving and yelling match in a game this season helped fuel the rivalry. Crosby is 11-4 vs. Ovechkin in regular-season matchups.
"There has been a buildup, and I'm sure this is entertaining," said Crosby, 21. "But as a player, I still want to win."
Ovechkin, 23, said he received 25 text messages from his friends in Russia after Washington won Game 2.
"It's a war," Ovechkin said. "It's a pretty cool war."
Crosby is the better playmaker, a set-up artist who passes with uncanny accuracy. Ovechkin is the scary goal scorer.
"(Ovechkin) shows his courage by hammering people and ripping long-range howitzer shots," said broadcaster Mike Emrick, who called Game 2 for Versus. "(Crosby) proves his courage by going to high-traffic areas for quick-reaction, hand-eye masterpieces."
Ovechkin's best asset is a rocket shot, coupled with what might be the NHL's quickest release.
"Ovechkin is a combination of three players," NBC analyst Pierre McGuire said. "He has Bryan Trottier's bull-like mentality and physical play, Mark Messier's speed, size and strength and (Mike) Bossy's finishing touch."
Different views on celebrations
Off ice, Moscow-bred Ovechkin and Nova Scotia-raised Crosby are as different as Red Square and a fishing village.
Crosby earned $9 million this season and is signed with the Penguins through 2012-13, yet lives in Lemieux's home and will play ball hockey with Lemieux's son, Austin, in the family driveway.
Ovechkin, who also earned $9 million but is signed through 2021, dyed his hair red for the playoffs and persuaded teammates Mike Green and Nicklas Backstrom to do the same. He is seen around town driving a Mercedes with Capitals car flags on both sides.
Ovechkin's flamboyant celebrations are controversial. When he scored his 50th goal this season, he laid his stick near the Tampa Bay Lightning goalie and pretended it was too hot to handle.
Crosby, whose celebrations don't often veer from the usual momentary stick-raising and hugging of teammates, has said publicly that he doesn't much care for Ovechkin's celebrations.
But Ovechkin has been less of a jokester during the playoffs.
"He's a little more serious and a little more passionate," Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said.
Ovechkin isn't the team captain, but he's the flag carrier.
"The Capitals had support in the '80s and they were playing at the Capital Centre," NBC analyst Ed Olczyk said. "But it's much different at the Verizon Center. Fans are now 'Rocking the Red.' There's passion. People are living and breathing with every play. Ovechkin has been a driving force."
Ovechkin was drafted No. 1 in 2004, just ahead of Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin. A few hours later, he was greeting fans at the team's post-draft party. "He shook every single fan's hand as they walked in," Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said.
But fans would have to wait to see how Ovechkin would perform. The NHL lockout wiped out the 2004-05 season, delaying Ovechkin's rookie campaign.
When play resumed in 2005-06, Ovechkin beat Crosby for rookie of the year, getting 124 of 129 first-place votes.
"There just aren't that many players with the mixture of power, skill and physical play that Ovechkin has," Capitals general manager George McPhee said. "It was an irresistible combination."
As he excelled on the ice with wild goals, Ovechkin immersed himself in North American culture.
"His first year, he didn't want to room with a Russian guy or European," Washington captain Chris Clark said. "He roomed with (Canadian-born winger) Brian Willsie. That was his thing to get adapted to the U.S. culture, learn the language and be a part of everything."
Hopes for a long playoff rivalry
Crosby had rock-star popularity in Canada when he was 16 playing junior hockey in Rimouski, Quebec. Wayne Gretzky, the NHL's all-time leading scorer, saw Crosby play and predicted Crosby could break Gretzky's records.
The Penguins had about a 6% chance of winning the lottery that gave them Crosby in 2005. With Crosby aboard, the Penguins sell out every game.
"His first night at the Pittsburgh airport, we had a media mob," said Tom McMillan, the Penguins' vice president of communication. "It was a crush unlike any athlete coming into Pittsburgh."
Ovechkin had less fanfare when he arrived in the league but now owns the spotlight as much as Crosby.
"This is exactly the way the NHL wanted teams to play," McPhee said. "These two are fast, skilled and can play a physical game. That's why these have been such wonderful playoff games. It's one of those rare times where it meets the hype. These players have developed into what everybody was hoping for."
There is a sense around the NHL that this is a classic series. Said Burke: "You will tell your grandkids about the first time you saw these guys play."
Lemieux and Gretzky never met in the playoffs, so it's hard to find a comparison for the Ovechkin-Crosby series.
"We always had the debate 20 years ago about who was better (Lemieux or Gretzky)," Emrick said. "Who cares, I would say, so long as they are in our solar system? These guys will probably meet a number of times."
League officials undoubtedly are counting on that.

Discussion Paper: Status of Limited Distribution Tariffs under the Canada Transportation Act
This page has been archived on the Web
Information identified as archived is provided for reference, research or recordkeeping purposes. It is not subject to the Government of Canada Web Standards and has not been altered or updated since it was archived. Please contact us to request a format other than those available.
The Canada Transportation Act (CTA) identifies two mechanisms which govern the commercial relationship between railway companies and shippers: tariffs and confidential contracts. However, at least one hybrid mechanism has developed within the industry: limited distribution tariffs (LDTs). The use of LDTs and, potentially, any other hybrid mechanism to initiate movements of traffic is not explicitly provided for in the CTA. This raises the question of how hybrid mechanisms like the LDT fit into the CTA's legislative scheme and if they do not, whether they should.
The status of LDTs under the CTA is an important issue as it appears that their use is becoming more widespread in the shipment of all types of commodities by rail. There are also differing views within the shipper community as to the value and acceptability to them of such hybrid mechanisms.
On the one hand, it can be argued that hybrids like the LDT are not valid rate-setting mechanisms because they are not expressly provided for in the CTA. On the other hand, this may be a case where legislation does not keep pace with industry practice and, insofar as they are not inconsistent with legislative intent, perhaps hybrid mechanisms should be an accepted mechanism.
Division IV of Part III of the CTA regulates, in large part, the commercial relationship between railways and shippers. Section 117 of the CTA provides that a railway company shall not charge a rate unless it is set out in a tariff or a confidential contract. Each of these terms is defined in the legislation.
- Section 87 of the CTA defines a "tariff" as "a schedule of rates, charges, terms and conditions applicable to the movement of traffic and incidental services".
- Sections 117-119 of the CTA add further detail to this definition, namely that:
- tariffs are obligatory, in that a railway company may not charge a rate in respect of the movement of traffic unless it is set out in a tariff (or unless it appears in a confidential contract);
- tariffs must include any information required by regulation; and
- tariffs must be published and either publicly displayed or made available for public inspection.
Confidential Contract
- Section 111 of the CTA defines a "confidential contract" simply as "a contract entered into under subsection 126(1)".
- Section 126 sets out the following details in relation to confidential contracts:
- a railway company may enter into a contract with a shipper that the parties agree to keep confidential;
- the contract may contain terms respecting rates, reductions or allowances to rates in tariffs, rebates or allowances pertaining to previously charged rates in tariffs or confidential contracts, conditions relating to the traffic to be moved, and the manner in which the railway company will fulfill its level of service obligations under section 113; and
- matters governed by a confidential contract are prohibited from being submitted for final offer arbitration under section 161 of the CTA, without the consent of all the parties to the contract. As appears from this section, the CTA provides fewer recourses to parties choosing to enter into a confidential contract as compared with those who choose to use a tariff.
Tariff provisions aim to ensure rate transparency by requiring railway companies to publish their terms. Although railway companies unilaterally set their rates in tariffs, those tariffs are subject to public scrutiny and Agency oversight. It is possible to conclude, because they are published, that tariffs are of general application insofar as they can be accepted by any shipper who chooses to avail itself of their terms.
By contrast, confidential contracts were introduced into legislation to support increased competition and allow for greater commercial freedom. This mechanism was intended to allow shippers and carriers to negotiate rates and terms of carriage to the mutual benefit of each party and to keep the contents of their agreement private. As a result, the terms of a confidential contract will only apply as between the parties.
These two mechanisms have distinct, if not opposing, characteristics.
As noted in the Chairman's letter dated July 21, 2010, the Agency would like to hear your views on the prevalence of the use and forms of LDTs or other hybrid mechanisms and to solicit your views on the question of whether the use of such mechanisms is permitted within the legislative regime contained in Part III, Division IV of the CTA.
With a view to better understanding LDTs, Agency staff are seeking input and views on the following topics:
I. The form and formation of LDTs
- What are the characteristics of LDTs? (e.g. context, term)
- To what extent do LDTs reflect the agreement of the parties? If a shipper does not agree to a LDT offer of the railway company, what are the options available to the shipper?
- Are LDTs the only hybrid mechanism currently being used by railway companies?
II. The utility and value of LDTs
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of LDTs?
- How do these advantages/disadvantages compare with published tariffs or confidential contracts?
III. The legal status of LDTs
- Do you think the legislative scheme does, or should, allow LDTs as well as any other hybrid mechanisms to be used as a valid rate-setting mechanism?
- What are, or should be, the appropriate recourses for parties in the event of a dispute relating to LDTs or any other hybrid mechanisms?
Your comments in respect of this issue should be forwarded no later than March 1, 2011 to:
John Corey
Manager, Rail Investigations

The oil surge ate my tax rebateby
Americans might want to save those tax rebate checks, because they'll probably need the extra cash this summer. With the price of oil surging close to $134 per barrel, driving around town this summer could be expensive indeed.
Tony Crescenzi of Miller Tabak did the math today: The price of oil has increased $40 barrel since the federal government approved the $130 billion in rebate checks along with other economic stimulus measures in February. The U.S. uses about 20.5 million barrels a day of oil, so the total bill for oil's price increase could add up to $300 billion over the next year. That means "the tax-rebate checks won't go as far as they would have if not for the surge in the price of oil," Crescenzi wrote.
To add to the trouble, gas prices often go up during the summer driving season when demand is higher. Chris Lafakis of Moody's Economy.com figures that with oil at these prices gas could conservatively cost $4.15 per gallon or as much as the "unlikely but disconcerting" $4.75 per gallon. Of course, if oil prices move toward $150 per barrel, prices at the gas pump would head even higher.
High fuel costs have a direct impact on the cash flow of companies and households, but they also have a psychological effect that other commodity prices don't. The price of gas is posted in front of gas stations on every busy roadway in the country, and when those gas prices consistently start with "$4" or even "$5," Americans are going to get pretty cranky.
The bottom line for investors: Except for oil drillers, the high price of oil hurts nearly every industry in the stock market. Many stocks were expecting a lift from the economic stimulus package, but that might not arrive. Instead conditions could get even worse, and the hardest hit may be consumer discretionary stocks as many American skip on luxuries this summer.

Q:Hi what are the procedures to change this hose?THANKS
1 answer
A:With the car off, take the line off and replace it. Once replaced filled power steering reservoir back up and with the cap off turn the car on and turn the wheel from side to side all the way over and over to allow the fluid to fill back up. Keep checking the level and when it stops leveling off, fill the reservoir up to the proper level and you are good basically.
