ac control panel
Basically long story short my heating is not working and after long tests and hours trying to fix it the only two things left are the motor or the ac control panel but spoke to someone at bmw and they said that if its the control panel it would need programming in so i couldnt just get a new one and put it in but i was just wondering if it actually does need programming in or if bmw were just trying to get a bit more money need to get this fixed asap its to cold for no heating!
-You say that 'the only two things left are motor of ac control panel'
Step 1.
What 'long tests' were performed and what were the 'hours trying to fix it' spent doing?
We need to know what has been done and how, to know what to eliminate from troubleshooting.
Ive done all the trouble shooting checking wiring etc also changed the resistor (in car) and relay under bonnet and the only two things left are the blower motor or the ac control panel got a manual for it so i can do both myself but just wanted to find out if (a) ac panel could be tested and (b) changed without being programmed

06/04/2017 Highlight: With the NHL Stanley Cup Finals nearing its conclusion, we can leverage our ResultsFinder tool to profile our playoffs-to-date numbers. Since the start of May, the Predictalator is an incredible 25-9 (73.5%) on all NHL selections, including money line sides, totals, and puck lines. An average $50 bettor would have profited $242; six times more than the cost of the full NHL Playoffs package.
The NBA Playoffs have featured more ups-and-downs than the NHL postseason; however, totals continue to produce at a solid clip for the Predictalator. Dating back to the beginning of April, the Predictalator has posted a stellar 53-41 (56.4%) record on all playable NBA totals, producing $351 in total profit for a $50 bettor.

Every time a jet engine is started, it goes through a thermal cycle of extreme temperatures, reaching as high as 2,700 °F within the engine's combustor. Over time, the expansion and contraction of engine parts caused by this cycle lead to cracking and degradation that shortens an engine's lifespan and eventually necessitates costly replacement.
Among the many ways that NASA works to advance aviation are efforts to improve the life and performance of jet, or gas turbine, engines. Glenn Research Center scientist Dongming Zhu performed groundbreaking work developing thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) that outperform other TBC technologies, providing an unrivaled means of protecting these engines from the degrading effects of thermal stresses, prolonging their lifespans, and enhancing their reliability and fuel efficiency.
TBCs are ceramic coatings with low thermal conductivity, insulating the metal parts they are applied to and reducing thermal fatigue. The ceramic component is typically composed of zirconium oxide (zirconia) stabilized in a particular crystal structure through the addition of yttrium oxide (yttria). Through the addition of other oxides, Zhu created modified yttria-stabilized zirconia TBCs with both initial and post-exposure thermal conductivities that are even lower than existing coatings. Zhu's breakthrough thermal and environmental barrier coating work was recognized by R&D Magazine in 2007 with an "R&D 100" award as one of the year's 100 most technologically noteworthy inventions.
Now, through collaboration with a private industry coatings leader, Zhu's NASA research is helping extend the service of military aircraft.
"NASA is the world leader in thermal barrier coatings," says Andrew Sherman, founder and CEO of MesoCoat Inc., based in Euclid, Ohio. A subsidiary of Powdermet Inc., also based in Euclid and itself a NASA partner through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, MesoCoat was founded in 2007 to develop and commercialize new coating techniques. Through a collaborative agreement with Glenn and under contract with the U.S. Air Force, MesoCoat is employing a specific composition of Zhu's TBC technology to prolong the lifespan of engines in the Air Force's aging, legacy aircraft. Since the commercial application is currently only for government use, no licensing agreement was required, though MesoCoat is engaged in discussions for commercial licensing terms.
"It's very difficult to get new parts for these older engines," says Sherman, "so the Air Force needs new technologies to extend the life of components" such as combustor cans and afterburner nozzles. The company's NASA-derived technology is providing an ideal, cost-effective solution for this need.
Product Outcome
Branded ZComP 844, MesoCoat's nanocomposite TBC has cluster formations that inhibit radiation transfer in the TBC and improves the coating's stability, Sherman explains, so that it has about half of the thermal conductivity of conventional thermal barriers.
"The NASA solution allows us to reduce the thermal conductivity, which reduces the engine part temperature as well as smoothes out thermal cycles, making them slower, much more uniform, and taking a lot of the thermal stresses off the part," says Sherman. "By halving the thermal conductivity, we're shaving around 30 to 50 degrees off the part temperature. As a result, you're looking at a 50-percent increase in component life." Reducing the thermal stresses on engine components also results in better performance and fuel efficiency.

In a shocking revelation on May 31, a senior Egyptian military official admitted that 'virginity checks' were done upon women arrested during the now famous uprisings that led to the removal of Hosni Mubarak after his three-decades old rule.
The general was quoted by CNN as saying, "The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine. These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs)."
He claimed that the tests were done to ensure that the women do not later claim that they had been raped by Egyptian authorities. The general said, "We didn't want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove that they weren't virgins in the first place. None of them were (virgins)."
The allegations of a virginity test first arose in an Amnesty International report, published a week after the March 09 protests. The report claimed that female protesters were beaten, given electric shocks, strip-searched, threatened with prostitution charges and forced to submit to virginity checks.
According to Kenneth Roth, Executive Director, HRW the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces has assured that no women will have to undergo tests and it would be ended.
"The SCAF did say that it ordered an end to these virginity tests," said Roth after talks between senior officials and HRW delegation, including Essam Sharaf, the Prime Minister.
"We don't accept the SCAF's view of the past, that there was nothing wrong with these virginity tests. It never should have been imposed on anyone," said Roth.
"If the concern is protecting women prisoners from rape, the best way is to ensure adequate protection in their cells, and to ensure a system of firm discipline and prosecution," he added.

This is due to the fact the 'nut'(ball joint) is only 5.5mm wide between the locking washer and it's body.I will try to get a picture of the one I took off last week later.
Hope this clears things up
Sorry mate
I am confusing you more than I am helping you
Yes the nut I was referring to was on the inner ball joint.There is a washer about 2mm thick that is folded over one of the flats on this nut.That is a 'tab' or locking washer.
When you have knocked this tab off of the flat of the nut it will allow the inner ball joint to undo.
The thread lock I was referring to was a liquid glue for threads that doesn't set fully but holds the threads together and stops them undoing.
The spanner in the picture shows what I am trying to say.
A picture tells a thousand words and all that
cheers m8, mine is all a nut though, it isn't round where the ball joint is.
Your tie rod should look like this so I have no idea why you would need a 5.5mm spanner
Sorry my mistake
I didn't see you had a E46 Doh!
The 5.5mm width spanner is for the E36 models (non ZF racks)
Sorry again but the rest of the info still stands
cheers guys, if its not raining tomorrow i'll have another go.

Fortune Brands Home & Security has acquired Sentry Safe, a leading manufacturer of personal safes with estimated annual sales of $150 million. The transaction closed early this week for $117.5 million and was funded from the company's existing credit facilities.
Sentry Safe will become part of Master Lock, a leading padlock brand in North America. Sentry Safe is headquartered in Rochester, New York, and has approximately 500 employees, with manufacturing facilities in Rochester, New York, and Cannelton, Indiana.
"Sentry Safe's global brand strength in the adjacent personal safe market enables Master Lock to broaden its product offerings and leverage its iconic brand worldwide," said Fortune Brands CEO Chris Klein. "Both companies hold similar competitive advantages in their markets and produce products that protect people's most valuable assets. I am excited about the growth opportunities we will now have together to drive innovation, leverage global distribution and expand channels."
News of the acquisition coincided with the company's second-quarter results. Fortune Brand posted reported sales of $1.14 billion, an increase of 10% over the second quarter of 2013.
"Our teams executed well, delivering a solid second quarter as consumer traffic is increasing and demand gradually improved from the soft start to the year," said Klein. "We continue to gain share and remain on track to deliver strong growth this year."
Kitchen and bath cabinetry sales were up 19%, fueled by strong increases in the dealer channel from continued share gains and strength in repair and remodel volume and mix. Plumbing and accessories sales increased 5%, led by growth in the U.S. wholesale channel and international. Advanced material windows and door systems sales were up 9%. Entry doors sales were up 11% and windows sales were up 7% from the prior year.
Security and storage sales decreased 5%. Within the segment, security sales increased 1% and tool storage sales decreased 21%.
The company's 2014 annual outlook is based on a U.S. home products market growth assumption of 6 to 8%. Based on the company's expectation to continue outperforming the market and the benefit from the Sentry Safe acquisition, the company expects full-year 2014 net sales to increase 9 to 11%.
"We have seen a gradual improvement in the pace of new construction and consumer spending," said Klein. "However, our updated 2014 annual outlook for the home products market now reflects less growth in the second half of 2014 than we last estimated. Still, we remain on track to deliver strong growth this year and are well-positioned for accelerating growth in 2015."

The goal of the Therapeutic Strategies Commission is to address
a wide variety of international problems in the treatment of epilepsy.
Multiple subcommissions have been established to address specific
Changes in membership:
We were very upset by the unfortunate and untimely death of Claudio
Munari, Chair of the Subcommission on Epilepsy Surgery. Fortunately,
Dr. Paul Boon, M.D. of Belgium was asked to accept this responsibility
and agreed to do so.
Subcommissions and Chairs:
Developing Countries: Paulo DeBittencourt and Esat Eskazan.
Elderly: Ilo Leppik.
Other Therapies: Patricia Gibson.
Outcome Assessment: Joyce Cramer.
Pediatrics: Olivier Dulac.
Pharmaceutical Industry Roger Porter.
Pharmacokinetics and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Philip Patsalos.
Polypharmacy and Interactions: Jerzy Majkowski.
Rational Use of AEDs
(Therapeutic Guidelines): Elinor Ben-Menachem and David Chadwick
Surgery: Paul Boon.
Women: Martha Morrell.
Meetings Held by the Commission:
Meetings were held in Prague at the ILAE Symposium in September
.1999 and in Orlando at the AES in December of 1999. Meetings of
most subcommissions were also held at these conferences.
Status of Reports and Guidelines:
Reports are not available for all the subcommissions. However, excellent
progress is being made in multiple areas. Reports of the progress
and plans for the Guidelines; as well as the Polytherapy and Interactions;
and Developing Countries. are provided separately. Planned symposia
and meetings of these groups are included in the request for financial
support submitted to Prof. Avinzini. Specifically, the Guidelines
has moved along very rapidly and will be having a special meeting
at the end of May in Gothenburg to gain consensus to a "Guidelines
to the Guidelines", with the goal of posting this information
on the ILAE web site. A glossary has been developed depicting all
the available antiepileptic drugs, and this can be placed on the
web site as well.
The subcommission on Developing Countries is having
a subsymposium in New Delhi in November of 2000, addressing and
focusing on the problems and possible solutions of bringing therapy
to developing countries.
Contacts and Interactions with Other Commissions:
The various subcommissions have been in direct contact with both
geographic and resource commissions on a regular basis.
Summary of Activities in the Past Year:
The Commission on TherapeuticStrategies has been very active in
the past year, with major advances being made in development of
Guidelines for the ILAE web site, and publication of a book pending
from the Polypharmacy and Interactions Subcommission, and a closely
related Subcommission on Pharmacokinetics and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring,
has developed an extensive text under the leadership of Rene Levy
and should also soon be available. Plans are underway to define
the role of therapeutic monitoring for new antiepileptic drugs.
The outcomes subcommission has defined goals and plans for devising
outcomes to be measured for clinical trials. The Subcommission for
the Elderly plans to apply for a part-day symposium on this subject
at the next ILAE meeting in Buenos Aires under the direction of
Dr. Ilo Leppik. The Subcommission on Developing Countries has been
active and collaborated closely with the organizers of the meeting
of Asia and Oceania, and a distinguished faculty has been assembled
for the symposium there.
Plans for the Coming Year:
As stated above, it is also expected that further activity will
be forthcoming from the Subcommission on Other Therapeutic Measures.
This group was established late, but is assembling key members and
making plans for identification of the issues. The Epilepsy Surgery
Subcommission was delayed in its progress due to the untimely death
of Claudio Munari. With the appointment of Paul Boon, it is expected
that this group will be very active in the coming year.

Bush: Van Cliburn Spread Peace Through Music
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Former President George W. Bush says the late pianist Van Cliburn spread peace and love through his music.
Bush spoke to about 1,400 people attending Cliburn's memorial service Sunday in Texas.
Cliburn died Wednesday at 78 after fighting bone cancer.
Bush spoke of Cliburn's winning the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1958. At the height of the Cold War, the win helped thaw the icy rivalry between the United States and Soviet Union.
Bush said Cliburn charmed friends and foes alike and essentially was a diplomat. Cliburn played for every U.S. president since Harry Truman, plus royalty and heads of state worldwide.
In 2003, Bush presented Cliburn with the Presidential Medal of Freedom - the nation's highest civilian honor.

Kris Humphries Talks Divorce on GMA
Pledging to "move forward," Kris Humphries tells GMA anchors he's excited for the NBA season to begin so he can focus on other things and not his emending divorce with reality star Kim Kardashian
In his first TV interview, 26 year old Humphries managed to successfully avoid answering every question by keeping his response consistent and his message clear. Stating he is trying not to look back and that
"certain things happen in life and you've got to move forward", Humphries says his main focus is his basketball career and supporting his foundation, the Humphries Foundation. When asked if he still loves Kim he said, "I'm focused on what I can control, being ready to play ball and supporting my mom and her cookie bake today." Speaking of his mom, Debra Humphries joined her son for support and said, their "faith in god" is helping them get through this situation.
If you missed the interview this morning, check it out here and let us know what you think in the comments!

The work of a nurse is challenging enough, but when you add a remote location, the stakes are so much higher. Meet fifteen courageous people who prove that the outback runs on nurse power.
There's Anna, who is on duty as the fury of Cyclone Yasi tears through inland Queensland; Maureen in outback New South Wales, who faces everything from a snakebite to a helicopter crash; Aggie, who overcomes her demons to help young people in the Kimberley; and Catherine, newly graduated and determined to make a difference in the Gulf Country she and her rodeo-riding husband call home.
From some of the most remote places on the earth, these stories bring the outback to life – we witness the harshness and isolation as well as the camaraderie of life in small towns in the middle of nowhere. These intrepid nurses tend to life-threatening emergencies, manage everyday health care and even patch up the local pets. From Bidyadanga to Broken Hill, Mount Isa to Marree, these tales are by turns moving and inspiring, full of gutsy feats and classic outback spirit.
Annabelle Brayley collected the stories that appeared in the bestselling Bush Nurses.

Meet the New Freshman 15 Class!
Think summer is really the only time you need to intern? Think again. The more experience you can get while in college, the better! Besides looking amazing on your resume, internships teach you what kind of career you want (and don't want!) and show you what types of jobs are out there.
Besides giving you another semester of experience, fall internships are less competitive than summer internships, according to Berger. "You are only competing against the students that live or attend school in the city where the internship is. Come summer, you are competing with the world!"

Boeing's HALE UAV Gets Ford Power

Ford provides propulsion for Boeing's latest UAV
Boeing is pushing
unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs) to the next level with the help of Ford Motor Company. The company today announced that its High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) UAV has successfully completed simulated testing.
The HALE uses a
prototype hydrogen engine developed by Ford
. According to the Boeing press release, the hydrogen engine is based on the Duratec 23 four-cylinder gasoline engine used in the Focus, Fusion and Escape. In this particular application, however, the engine not only runs on hydrogen, but also uses multi-stage turbocharging.
"This test demonstrates the technical readiness of the hydrogen engine system and confirms the capability breakthrough in flight endurance and altitude that could be realized by a variety of military and commercial customers," said Darryl Davis of Boeing's Advanced Precision Engagement and Mobility Systems.
"This test could help convince potential customers that hydrogen-powered aircraft are viable in the near-term," continued Boeing Advanced Systems President George Muellner. "This is a substantial step toward providing the persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities our customers desire."
The test simulated four days of sustained flight -- three of which were simulated at 65,000 feet. Production versions of the HALE will be designed to stay aloft for a week and can carry up to one ton of cargo.
The military is increasingly looking to
unmanned vehicles
– both on
and in the
– to put human soldiers out of harm's way. This latest development from Boeing and Ford could usher in a new era of next-generation UAVs with the stamina and payload capacity to really make a difference in the skies above the battlefield.
"Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment -- same piece of hardware -- paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be." -- Steve Ballmer

Brands Don't Exist, Only Real People Do
The surprising thing is, Todaymade is made of real people.
It's not as if you didn't know that, but if you're like me, you often forget you're dealing with real people when you're online. They're just faceless brands, maybe, because the usual cues (expressions, micro-reactions) that tell us we're talking to actual people aren't there.
What does this mean for real people connecting to brands, and vice versa?
There are four aspects to keepin' it real, as a brand, online. Because brands are boring. People aren't.
1. Use Photos Of Real People
We have a team page on our website, and it has our photos and our bios. This helps readers put a face to the names that they see on blog posts or in support emails. When I'm dealing with a brand, as a customer, I often go to the about page and look at the photos. It's an attempt to humanize them. A photo of a person does so much more than an icon or graphic.
In art school, I quickly learned the value of including human figures (or the mere suggestion of them) in paintings; the interaction from my fellow students during critique immediately increased. "Who does that person represent? What are they doing? What does it mean? Are they based on someone you know?"
My art instructor would joke that if you had a bland painting and didn't know how to liven it up, put some people in it. Even if they're just sitting on a park bench, viewers connect immediately and start wondering about who they are and what they're thinking. We are people, and we like to be around and connect with people. We're automatically drawn to people. That's not a terribly earth shattering conclusion, but it's surprising how easy it is to forget the power of showing images of real people on a site when you're a brand.
When you want people to see your brand as real people, you should:
- Use real photographs of your team on your site. Not icons, not cartoons, not inanimate objects.
- Have bios for team members. Make them useful and personable, but not overly clever. Clever wears thin quickly, and can become unappealing after the first read.
- Use first names. Refer to them by their first name in longer bios, even if you're a firm believer in the AP style guide. Your goal is to make them approachable.
2. Behave Well Towards Real People
Because we have a barrier of screens, apps, social networks, and the internet between us and others, we behave differently than if we remembered we were dealing with real people. Recently, I found it easy to fire off a snarky complaint to JC Penney via Twitter. That's just a brand, after all. Except I forgot that a real person has to answer my tweet.
Pretty sure I understand why @jcpenney is tanking. Pretty sure I'm going to mark their email as spam. pic.twitter.com/wPsbltdEwM
— Julie R. Neidlinger (@julesvern97) February 12, 2014
When the response comes back after such moments, I remember "oh yeah, this goes somewhere and a person reads this and has to respond to this and maybe I kinda ruined their day…" There are ways to voice a legitimate complaint or bring something to a brand's attention without being a jerk. I don't always remember this, unfortunately.
A troubling 2013 study showed that social media allowed people to become "more like psychopaths." What they discovered was that on social media, we:
- Lie more about who we are and what we are doing.
- Miss out on the important life events because we're too busy…trying to capture them for social media.
- Become incredibly self-obsessed, taking photos of ourselves and talking about ourselves and what we're doing more than we would in person.
- Are more confrontational and aggressive online
- Are willing to share far more private information than we would to a stranger if face-to-face.
Of course, studies like these highlight the negatives that come from online life, and don't weigh in with the positives.
In general, though, most of us are very different people when we're "real people", in person, because we can't hide behind the online disinhibition effect. When we're online, it's easy to forget how to behave and treat each other. We're bold, we're aggressive, and we forget that our words are the same as actions, and that they have an effect.
Living in a virtual world can make us forget how to live in the real one.
Click To Tweet - Powered By CoSchedule
Living in a virtual world can make us forget how to live in the real one. We default to a one dimensional response, sometimes, because our screens boil everything down to one dimension.
When your brand is dealing with people who aren't behaving well online:
- Don't return the favor. Behave with dignity.
- Respond calmly. It's the same idea as lowering your voice when people are yelling at you; we tend to mimic the signals around us when we're in an emotionally compromised state. Being calm can change emotional vibe and bring people back off the ledge.
- Walk away. There are some folks who don't want a resolution. They have their own agenda. If the first two approaches in this list don't work, then just walk away, no parting shots. There's nothing about the situation that you can make right.
You've got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, And know when to run... – Kenny RogersClick To Tweet
3. Tell The Story Of Your Team
We recently had someone interested in knowing about the culture of Todaymade, and what it would be like working here. Each of us began searching our Twitter feeds, and we came up with a long list of tweets for her to review.
Tell the story of your team for people to follow. Not the one that sounds like a press release, but the story of the things you do during a regular work day. For example, we chose a random number that, when we hit that many paid users for CoSchedule, we'd each do a cartwheel. We (and all of the furniture) survived those cartwheels (which were all videotaped on phones), and now we're on to our second round: show and tell.
Show and tell today at @todaymade. @justin_walsh went first. pic.twitter.com/S9UbHf9Bcm
— Julie R. Neidlinger (@julesvern97) February 19, 2014
Anyone can follow this by simply following our team on social media. It makes us more human that each of us do it, conversationally, rather than just spitting out links.
To build a story for your team:
- Encourage (appropriate) social media. We frequently tweet photos and comments of the little things that happen during a work day, such as funny commentary.
- Start a hashtag. After compiling the list of tweets for our culture sample, I began to think it wouldn't have hurt to have a hashtag for some of the things we tweet about. For example, #TodaymadeEconomy. Give people a chance to follow you specifically instead of it being lost in your larger social media feed.
4. Take The Time For Real People
How do we get our customers to not see us as a faceless brand?
It's not like you can become personal friends with every person who has read your blog, commented, tweeted your content, DM'd you, or sent you an email. And, the larger your audience and customers, the easier (and more necessary) it is to use automation to reach them. It's easy to let automation replace human interaction. How do we go about staying human when it would be easier to automate?
The one go-to rule I use is this: time has meaning.
If technology and automation is anything, it's about saving time. Having enough time is a rarity for people now. We're all busy and we're used to getting email and mail with our name generated from a database. We're used to being wrapped into a slick marketing campaign with email autoresponders, used to the gimmicks that are created to catch our attention and keep us looking with the minimal effort.
Never let automation and convenience let customers think they aren't worth the time.

Those things aren't wrong, and we go along willingly, but they carry a subtle message: people aren't worth the time.
The best way to connect with people and somehow get out from behind the curtain of automation and digital existence is by showing that you took the time for people. For example, one thing we do is send out handwritten notes with our CoSchedule notebooks.
Thanks @CoSchedule for the awesome notebook you sent! pic.twitter.com/YAIj5p7ZkI
— Forge (@djforge) February 11, 2014
This seemed like a good way to say thank you to our customers, and was a tangible thing that they hold and know it came from one person to another.
Taking the time for individual customers doesn't scale. You hit a million and you'd be hard-pressed to write a note to each one. But most of us aren't at a million yet, and we can certainly find ways to take the time for people right now. In fact, we might be more likely to get to a million if we took the time for the few right now.
Maybe it means you take the time to answer every tweet by hand, individually, with the initials of the person responding, and not an auto-generated response. Maybe you carry on actual conversations with customers on social media, and ask questions of them. Maybe you mention the names of your fans, and their websites, on your next podcast, and say thanks for something they said in your comments section. Maybe you write a blog post that says if readers want a Christmas card from you, they just need to email you their mailing address (I did this on my own blog a few years back, and had a lot of fun with it).
However you choose to do it, take the time to consider how you behave towards people, and to take the time to really connect to people, even in a small way. Make the internet more about real people and less about the machine.
What methods do you use to connect with your fans and customers?

Saab Central - Features
The Saab 9000 and GM900: Brochures
1995 Saab 9000 and GM900 1 2 (3) 4 5 6
Class-leading ergonomics are our trademark.
Excellent seating, with clear instruments ahead of you and all the controls comfortably at hand. Settle in behind the steering wheel of a Saab and you'll soon notice that this is a car designed for the driving enthusiast.
You sit comfortably in a seat offering perfect support, so you can drive for miles without tiring.
The seat can be moved in several ways, the steering wheel can be adjusted for reach and the dashboard is angled towards you. All the controls are ergonomically designed and logically grouped within convenient reach.
There's a perfect field of vision, with clear, reflection-free instruments, suitably illuminated at night. Large headlamps with wipers and heated, electrically adjustable external mirrors (wide-angle on the driver's side) ensure clear visibility.
You breathe clean, temperate air. The ventilation air filter removes pollen, dust and other airborne particles and heat-absorbent glass filters out half the incoming solar radiation when driving on hot summer days.
You can relax in safety
"Here at Saab, we attach immense importance to active as well as passive safety. Active safety is all about the ability to avoid accidents, while passive safety aims at protecting the car's occupants if an accident does occur", says Kent Bovellan, one of our crash safety experts.
A list of safety features as long as your arm
The Saab 900 and Saab 9000 are two of the safest cars on the market, with an impressive list of safety-enhancing features: front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones; high-tensile steel safety cage; side-intrusion prevention sys tem consisting of robust beams and absorbing panels; roll-over protection with reinforced door pillars, windscreen frame and roof; there's also interior protection in the form of airbags (standard for the driver,optional for the front passenger), adjustable front seat belt attachment points, automatic front seat belt pre-tensioners, collapsible steering column, front and rear head restraints and impact-absorbing interior panels. It's all there for your protection.
Real-life safety
Our safety experts aren't satisfied just with computer simulations and laboratory-controlled crash tests. They also study real-life accidents to obtain supplementary data.
"Whenever possible, we accompany the first ambulance to the scene of any accident involving a Saab. This gives us invaluable information about actual injuries and points the way ahead for future preventive measures", says Tony Landh, head of interior safety for the Saab 900. He is also one of the people behind the Saab Safeseat in the Saab 900 5-door and Coupé—although, to tell the truth, this is a name which could apply equally well to all the seats in the Saab 900 and 9000.
The body is computer-optimised down to the smallest detail to divert and absorb crash forces effectively, irrespective of whether the collision takes place from the front, rear or side. Children travel safely in a Saab. The 900 5-door and Coupé are available with two child seats integrated into the rear seat backrest.
Sweden 's largest car insurance company, Folksam, declared the Saab 9000 the safest car on the market three times in a row.

#30 – Domingo Leyba – Shortstop
The Tigers have been aggressive with Leyba and assigned him to the short-season New York-Penn League for his first stateside experience. Leyba is a heady player with incredible instincts and feel for the game, but lacks the tools of many other teenaged prospects that are pushed aggressively. He has a chance to be a solid second baseman long term, but he's going to have to prove it at every level of the organization.
#29 – Kyle Lobstein – Left-Handed Pitcher
A lefty with solid stuff and some feel for his craft, Lobstein will likely pitch in the big leagues off and on for an extended period of time. He doesn't have the raw stuff to lock down a rotation spot for years, but he can fill in at the back of the rotation, and also provide versatility out of the bullpen. If his opportunity does not come with the Tigers, he could be a secondary trade chip that gets a chance on a second division club.
#28 – Shane Zeile – Catcher
One of the Tigers top picks this summer, Zeile is still new to catching but shows impressive tools behind the dish. He profiles as a glove first backstop that will handle a staff well, block well and should have strong catch-and-throw skills when all is said and done. His bat will determine whether he plays every day or as more of a backup/platoon option, but the Tigers will give him every chance to develop and take on a large role at the big league level.
#27 – Adam Ravanelle – Right-Handed Pitcher
Ravanelle starred for Vanderbilt in the College World Series, flashing a power arsenal that can play very well in relief. Some scouts still believe Ravanelle – who remains raw despite three years of college experience – could still start long term, but the vast majority of evaluators see a high-leverage reliever with power stuff that locks down the 8th inning of tight games.
#26 – Harold Castro – Second Baseman
Despite impressive physical gifts and baseball tools, Castro's star is fading as a prospect. He has yet to put together the type of consistency at the plate that his tools suggest, and while he has speed and some potential with the glove, those elements of his game remain enigmatic as well. Castro will continue to get chances to prove he has the makeup and overall ability to make it as a pro, but as he continues to struggle and lack consistency, his prospect status will continue to take a hit.
#25 – Joe Jimenez – Right-Handed Pitcher
Signed as an undrafted free agent last year, there were lofty expectations surround Jimenez entering this season; a season in which it was expected he would work as a starting pitcher and begin to build his profile as a potential workhorse starter. Instead, the Tigers have moved him to the bullpen where he has been pumping 92-95 mph heat and flashing an impressive slider. Jimenez has impact potential as a reliever, but the move to the bullpen this early in his career hurts his prospect stock.
#24 – Chad Smith – Right-Handed Pitcher
Tiger fans have received their first exposure to Smith with a call-up this season and while he doesn't have flashy raw stuff, he can excel in one inning stints. He lacks the consistently plus velocity he showed prior to Tommy John surgery his first season, but he has improved his strike throwing and the consistency of his secondary stuff, giving him a chance to have extended success in a 6th/7th inning role.
#23 – Daniel Fields – Outfielder
After what appeared to be a breakout campaign at Double-A Erie in 2013, Fields has struggled on the field this season, and also missed extensive time due to injury. When he's right, his defense profiles at the Major League level, and his bat has shown enough life over the years that he could be a quality fourth outfielder. He needs to stay on the field and he needs to begin performing consistently to get that chance.
#22 – Kevin Ziomek – Left-Handed Pitcher
Ziomek's raw potential may exceed every other member of the West Michigan pitching staff this season. Armed with a powerful right arm and very intriguing secondary stuff, Ziomek only lacks the ability to consistently throw strikes. That missing element keeps him from profiling as a potential mid-rotation starter, and opens questions about whether or not his future rests in the bullpen. Either way, Ziomek has the stuff to pitch in the big leagues, and if given enough developmental time, he could reach that projection.
#21 – Endrys Briceno – Right-Handed Pitcher
Entering this season, Briceno was poised to breakout and cement himself as one of the organization's top pitching prospects. Those plans were derailed when he came down with an injury to his right arm; an injury that resurfaced just as he was about to rejoin the Lakeland rotation. Briceno has not yet gone under the knife, but things don't look good at this point. If he gets healthy and shows the impressive fastball and intelligence he had previously showed, he could re-assert himself as a potential mid-rotation arm or high-end bullpen piece.

History in Hand
GSU team brings the Gold Dome to life with new app
Photography by Meg Buscema
For more than a century, the wood and marble halls of Georgia's state Capitol building have thrummed with legislators and leaders, lobbyists and citizens, all with the aim of shaping Peach State policy.
In a state that has undergone massive political and societal changes in its long history, the grand old edifice in downtown Atlanta stands not just as the working center of government for the economic powerhouse of the Southeast, but as a symbol of Georgia's rich past.
Many visitors to the Capitol aren't aware of all the history that runs deep through the stately building. Learning about this past can help them understand Georgia's present, and maybe even its future.
Professor of history Tim Crimmins and Chris Escobar, a graduate student in the Department of Communications' moving image studies program, have created a way to make the history of the Capitol come alive for its visitors – all at the tap of an iPhone.
Now available for free from the Apple iTunes App Store is the Georgia Capitol Tour, an application for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad full of multimedia content – photos and videos of state governors, legislators, leaders, activists and even a former U.S. President – that gives visitors a handheld Capitol tour.
"This place has incredible power," says Crimmins, director of the GSU Center for Neighborhood and Metropolitan Studies. "But what happens with many people is that they go to places and they have no way of connecting where they are with the past."
With the new app, people will get that connection in a dynamic and engaging way, Escobar says.
"Part of the fascination with this is that you can learn in a way that appeals to you, and learn it at your own pace," he says. "You can create the storyline for yourself. The experience is not the same for everyone, and because it can be catered to you by your own choosing, it makes it interesting and becomes a new component to learning old things."

Chris Escobar is not only helping to document history through technology and film – he's also working to help prospective students and parents learn more about GSU and how it is woven into the fabric of Atlanta.
Debuting this spring, films of the "@GSU" project will go beyond simple orientation matters for new students. Escobar is aiming to help reflect the reality of GSU and its daily life.
"It's for use to be able to get people an accurate sense of what it's like to be at Georgia State, and especially for those who have these myths, if you will, about coming to school downtown, or for people who aren't even from the metro area and have never been here," he says.
He's aiming to capture the vibrancy of an urban campus that is inextricably linked to the life of downtown Atlanta – an ever-changing place where numerous businesses and other groups are working to make life better.
"We have advantages of not being a closed campus, and that means that parts of the rest of the city become very integrated with parts of the university," Escobar says. "It's really obtainable and really close.
"We want to show current and prospective students, as well as faculty and parents, that coming to Georgia State doesn't have to be a scary thing. So there's a bit of a touristic approach, but also a very practical approach," he says.
He's working on three videos. One focuses on transportation issues, which are admittedly challenging since GSU is at the core of a metro area where gridlock is notoriously bad.
The second goes not only into everything that GSU has to offer, but also what's available in the surrounding community, from arts and entertainment, to sports and dining options. A final video delves into GSU's diversity and linkages to the city.
"There are all kinds of people here, and that's something to embrace, to know that it exists, and to know of the benefits by being aware of that," Escobar says.
The partnership between Crimmins and Escobar began during Escobar's freshman year, when he enrolled in one of GSU's Freshmen Learning Communities (FLC) – a program whereby incoming freshmen in groups of 25 all take the same classes centered around a particular theme. Escobar's choice of FLC – themed "filming the metropolis" – was led by Crimmins.
In the FLC, Crimmins taught a class on the historical perspectives of global cities using media ranging from video games to German expressionist films.
"Even though Crimmins is a history professor, he very much embraces media and new technology; new ways of teaching old things," Escobar says. "His way of teaching sparked my interest."
Escobar excelled in the class, and Crimmins arranged for him to become an assistant. Escobar managed projects for the professor in subsequent classes until he graduated in 2008. After earning his degree in communications with an emphasis in film and video, Escobar enrolled in the master's program in moving image studies with a concentration in production.
"As a freshman, he really impressed me," Crimmins says. "He graduated, came back, and I was really happy to see him in the graduate program."
In 2007, Crimmins and Georgia state Capitol historian Anne Farrisee published "Democracy Restored: A History of the Georgia State Capitol" (University of Georgia Press, 2007), a 190-page illustrated history of the Capitol for which Crimmins was named Georgia Author of the Year in history by the Georgia Writers Association.
Crimmins, who had chaired the Commission on the Preservation of the Georgia Capitol starting in the mid-1990s, wanted to have snippets of information from the book available to visitors to the Capitol. Initially, he thought about kiosks with visual displays, but he soon dismissed that idea.
Having overseen a decade-long historical facelift the Gold Dome, he didn't want anything that would, he says, "intrude in on the place we had restored."
He went on to consider technologies for a digital tour, such as a "wand" or other devices sometimes used for museum exhibits. He received a grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities to further explore these possibilities.
That's when Crimmins reached out to his tech-savvy former student. And Escobar immediately thought of the technology behind his iPod Touch.
"The idea came as the evolution of the personal audio tours," Escobar says, "but rather than use random technology, we wanted to use one that so many people have and one that is proven."
By creating an application using this technology, they could create the tour for a fraction of the cost, and better yet, would have complete control over the content.
From there, they spent months collecting video from archives, researching, designing and interviewing both historians and people who had first-hand accounts to tell.
"You meet all of these interesting people, so it doesn't become faceless history," Escobar says. "And that's the neat thing about this project."
One of the major threads of state history that Crimmins and Escobar are retelling, partly through recollections from people who were there, is that of desegregation at the Capitol – and in the state.
"What surprises me is the tenacity you can say that some of the people had back then, like with Lester Maddox," Escobar says. "There's the fact about how he became famous by threatening black citizens not just by physically pushing them out, but by also threatening them with a gun.
"That kind of bold-faced racism blows my mind, but it was also met with calm, patient wisdom that had a perspective before its time," he says.
Marking change
On Jan.12, 1971, a young incoming governor named Jimmy Carter stood in front of the Capitol and issued his inaugural address. In it, he uttered a simple phrase that helped to mark the end of official state-sponsored discrimination in Georgia.
"I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over," said Carter, who in 1976 would be elected president of the United States. "No poor, rural, weak or black person should ever have to bear the additional burden of being deprived of the opportunity of an education, a job or simple justice."
Nearly 40 years later on a cold December day in 2010, former President Carter came back to the Capitol to reflect on those words for the project.
"It got a lot of attention outside of the state as well, and within a couple of weeks, because of that speech, I was on the cover of Time magazine," Carter says in his filmed interview. "But what I said was accepted … by what I would say was almost complete equanimity by the people of Georgia, because they were ready for an end to racial segregation."
In 1962, just a year after Carter had first arrived at the Gold Dome as a state senator, Atlanta attorney Leroy Johnson won a state senate seat, becoming the first African-American to be elected to the Georgia General Assembly since the end of the Reconstruction era.
At first, the majority of his fellow senators didn't even acknowledge him in the hallways.
"I would walk down the corridors of the state Capitol, and I would say 'good morning," Johnson says, remembering that oftentimes the response would be a dismissive grunt.
But he persevered. He soon learned the power of his vote and how things work in the state legislature. Once, while serving on the education committee, he came upon a tie vote on a piece of legislation.
"When I walked into the door, they didn't see the black senator to whom they had not spoken to at all that day; they saw a vote," Johnson says. "A vote that could send their bill out of the committee, or one that would kill that bill. And they forgot about how black I was for a split moment to get my vote, and I knew then that's how powerful the vote was."
His legacy remains in the state Capitol, and in 1996 his portrait joined those of former governors, Martin Luther King Jr., and other notable Georgians, on the third floor.
"Although Leroy Johnson was not an avid and in-your-face civil rights activist, his quiet demeanor and his scholarly and legalistic approach showed all of us that he was a man of substance," Carter recalls. "And we soon forgot about what race he was."
A technological boost
In 1960, Lonnie King and his compatriots in the Atlanta Student Movement issued a bold call for full civil rights for African-Americans and led sit-ins across the city in non-violent protest of segregation.
On May 17 of that year, King and his fellow students marched to the state Capitol to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling that public school segregation was unconstitutional.
They were faced with derision and were confronted by a large group of angry counter-protesters.
Fifty years later, King recounted that experience to Crimmins on the Capitol grounds.
"The world was beginning to change in 1960, and a lot of folks who were in power at the Capitol, like Governor [Ernest] Vandiver and others, I think did not feel the earthquake that was shifting under their feet," King recalls. "Their response to the challenges to the old system was to bring out the billy clubs, the state troopers and to surround the Capitol with them."
Then as now, when people can send messages that magnify causes with a few taps of a mobile device, it was modern technology – in this case the relatively new medium of television – that helped the Atlanta Student Movement's impact become larger in the national consciousness.
"The press and television were able to come in, to show on the nightly news these atrocities that were being committed on these college kids," King says. "I think, in a way, that was the thing that tipped public opinion, of course along with the eloquent speeches of Martin Luther King Jr."
And what might have happened if today's iPhones, Twitter and text messaging had been available?
"We would have gained even more rights," King reflects. "And if they had not have had TV, we wouldn't have gotten the success that we got."
King, now a doctoral student who teaches history at Georgia State, hopes the new Capitol history application helps speak to today's students in an accessible medium.
"It's a medium that is very foreign to a lot of us who are over 70 years of age, but it's like a piece of cake for people under 40," he says. "And I think those are the people who need to have a better understanding of what happened."

Clint's video is a must watch for anyone serious about combative pistol work.
Exactly. It only takes one rep to figure that out when you have a bad guy closing on you with a blade and you have a FTE/DF. We have had many people say beforehand that they would never drop or throw their pistol but in the right (or wrong) circumstances, you'd be amazed at what becomes "reasonable".
Hick's Law + Murphy's Law = Streamlined Problem Solving
Louis Awerbuck Pro-Tip: Close Quarters / Two-Gun Carry - YouTube
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, So that our feet may swiftly carry out thy command,
And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
His method certainly works but I think it is artificially weighted towards having a 'downrange'/safe direction and assumes the bad guy will always maintain distance and not attempt to engage us in a fight over the gun.On this point, I wholeheartedly agree. For decades it has been taught that you must lock the slide to the rear prior to removing the magazine to address the Failure To Extract/Type III/Double Feed. That is nonsense Always has been.On the double feed, note that Clint asks rhetorically, why lock the slide? Good question huh.
Thanks for the reply to my post Paul. I think Clint's presentation on malfunctions is the gold standard based on manner of presentation. Sure the content is there, but it's his delivery and examples with multiple pistols that make his pitch. Your disagreements with Clint are certainly valid. There is plenty of maneuvering room for such differences among instructors.
As to not not locking the slide back when dealing with a double feed, Clint is about the only instructor I know suggesting this. I have to to go with Clint here. I've heard some suggest that locking the slide back makes removing the magazine easier. I think it adds an unnecessary step to a critical procedure. I'm happy to hear you agree with Clint on this point.
Again, thanks for your reply and thanks for making your videos available to us on this forum.
The idea of bypassing the Lock phase of Lock, Rip, Work in the training community has a bumpy history due to some really oddball approaches. For instance, I've seen it taught in the following ways.
1)As a 'Glock specific' solution. In other words, that it only works with Glocks.
2)Unseat the mag (keeping it in the gun), Slide snaps forward, Reseat Magazine. [Only works when you set up a FTE with a live round and then shoot that live round once the slide locks forward!]
3)Push the mag release. Manipulate slide multiple times until the mag falls out, slide snaps forward and round is extracted. Reload.
Each of these were, I think, recognition of the need to speed up the process of dealing with a Failure to Extract but none of these were very satisfactory, broad spectrum solutions. Personally, I like the simplicity of Rip, Rack [x3], Reload. I follow the same procedure when I have both hands available as when I have only one hand [the details change but the process is the same]
To this day, it is still far more common to see Lock, Rip, Work, Reload as the standard method of addressing the Failure to Extract. In some corners, the one-size-fits-all Immediate Action is Unload the Gun Completely, Reload the Gun, but that seems to be a violation of Einstein's Dictum...'Things should be made as simple as necessary but no simpler.' ;)
Excellent Video. Thanks.

The fight over the future of the Republican Party has spilled over into the state chairman's race.
Linda Daves has the job. Fred Smith, apparently, wants it. And there's a third, lesser known, candidate.
Daves' critics say the last two elections prove she knows little about politics.
Smith's critics say he spent $2.5 million of his own money to get himself elected governor and only carried four counties (I think) in the primary.
And the third candidate is calling for Republicans to run on a written 'contract with North Carolina' next election – an idea first tried fourteen years ago.

Senate Votes to End Filibuster on Jobless Benefits Bill
The Senate voted 60-40 to end a filibuster on a bill that would extend unemployment benefits to 2.5 million people on Tuesday afternoon. The 60th senator to vote was Carte Goodwin, the successor to West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd. Maine Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins also crossed party lines to vote for the bill.
During his Rose Garden remarks on Monday, President Barack Obama had urged Congress to extend the jobless benefits.
"For a long time, there has been a tradition under both Democratic and Republican presidents to offer relief to the unemployed," Obama said, according to The Associated Press. "That was certainly the case under my predecessor, when Republicans several times voted to extend emergency unemployment benefits."
Senate Democrats have been trying to extend benefits to the jobless since last month, when the vote was scheduled to occur, but senators in the Republican Party blocked the measure from coming to a vote several times. Many of the GOP senators oppose the legislation because they say it costs too much money.
"What the president isn't telling the American people is that many of us in the Senate are fighting to make sure our children and grandchildren aren't buried under a mountain of debt," said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), according to The AP. "If we are going to extend unemployment benefits, then let's do it without adding to our record debt."
The Senate is expected to hold a final vote on the bill on Wednesday. Then, the jobless extension heads to the House for a vote, and then to the president for his signature. If the bill becomes law, 2.5 million Americans stand to receive an average of $309 per week in unemployment benefits retroactively.

Fontainebleau Miami Beach
Poised to recapture its place among the world's most celebrated resort playgrounds. Morris Lapidus' emblematic curvilinear building, originally the subject of outrage by critics before being embraced by the world's architects, designers and travelers alike, today defines Miami Beach's often-exuberant architectural aesthetic. His once avant-garde building is now an enduring architectural masterpiece and perhaps more importantly, his spirit and sense of theater now shapes a spectacular $1 billion rebirth. Lapidus once wrote "If you create a stage and it is grand, everyone who enters will play their part" and few would argue that the new Fontainebleau will succeed in offering a pulse-quickening setting in which guests can make an unforgettable entrance. Virtually every aspect of the 22-acre showplace will celebrate the architect's flair for the theatrical. Fronting the Atlantic Ocean, the new 1,504-room resort's most distinguishing features will include two new towers, 11 restaurants and lounges, a 40,000-square-foot spa, 200,000 square feet of meeting, pre-function and outdoor function space and dramatic oceanfront poolscape featuring a free-form pool shaped as a modern, re-interpretation of Lapidus' signature bow-tie design.

Jul 23, 2013 - StaffThe following precautions will help people avoid the negative effects of smoke damage or smoke inhallation during the dry summer months when wildfires are likely to impact local residents.
• Limit your exposure to smoke
• If it is smoky enough for you to stay indoors, keep indoor air as clean as possible. Keep windows and doors closed unless it is extremely hot outside. Run an air conditioner if you have one, but keep the fresh air intake closed and the filter clean to prevent outdoor smoke from getting inside. If you do not have an air conditioner and it is too warm to stay inside with the windows closed, seek shelter elsewhere.
• Do not add indoor pollution. When smoke levels are high, do not use anything that burns such as candles, fireplaces or gas stoves. Do not vacuum, because vacuuming stirs up particles already inside your home. Do not smoke, because smoking puts even more pollution into the air.
• Follow your doctor's advice about medicines and about your respiratory management plan if you have asthma or another lung disease. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen.
• Do not rely on dust or surgical masks for protection. Paper "comfort" or "dust" masks commonly found at hardware stores are designed to trap large particles, such as saw dust. These masks will not protect your lungs from smoke. The best way to protect yourself is to avoid exposure to smoke as much as possible.

Preventing a sexually transmitted infection (STI) is easier than treating an infection after it occurs.
- Talk with your partner about STIs before beginning a sexual relationship. Find out whether he or she is at risk for an STI. Remember that it is quite possible to have an STI without knowing it. Some STIs, such as HIV, can take up to 6 months before they can be detected in the blood.
- Be responsible.
- Avoid sexual contact if you have symptoms of an STI or are being treated for an STI.
- Avoid sexual contact with anyone who has symptoms of an STI or who may have been exposed to an STI.
- Don't have more than one sexual relationship at a time. Your risk for an STI increases if you have several sex partners.
For more information, see the topic Safer Sex.
Use condoms
Using condoms lowers your chances of getting or spreading herpes and other STIs, even if you are already using another birth control method to prevent pregnancy.
Condoms must be in place before the start of sexual contact. Use condoms with a new partner until you are certain that he or she doesn't have an STI. You can use either male condomsor female condoms.
Don't have sex, even with condoms, while you're having herpes symptoms.
Take antiviral medicine
Taking daily valacyclovir, an antiviral medicine, can prevent spread of genital herpes to your sexual partner even when you do not have an active outbreak.
Take care during pregnancy
A woman who gets genital herpes while she is pregnant could pass the infection to her baby during delivery. Herpes can make newborns seriously ill.
If you are pregnant, follow these steps:
- Tell your doctor if you have been exposed to genital herpes or have had an outbreak in the past.
- Let your doctor know if you are currently having an outbreak, especially if you are in the last part of your pregnancy.
- Avoid unsafe sex. Herpes is often transmitted by people who don't know they are infected and don't have symptoms. Use condoms.
- Avoid receiving oral sex from partners who have cold sores. Herpes in newborns can be caused by HSV-1, the virus that most commonly causes cold sores. Most experts advise pregnant women not to receive oral sex in the last 3 months of their pregnancy. It increases their risk of genital infection with HSV-1.
Antiviral medicine can be used safely in pregnancy to reduce the risk of an outbreak at the time of delivery. This lower risk, in turn, makes it less likely that delivery by cesarean section will be needed.
Wash your hands
If you are having a genital herpes outbreak, wash your hands after using the bathroom or having any contact with blisters or sores. This is especially important for people who are caring for babies.
