On the other hand, he almost always will give me kisses if I ask him to. Sometimes he does it on his own (as well as hugging me, Daddy, the cats...) It's moments like that that help me remember why I don't pitch him out the window.
He is all registered now for his new daycare (starts June 1st) and he loves it there. Whenever we go there he is trying to crawl away from me before I even put him down. It kinda makes me sad...but glad too. I am glad he feels so secure there but I want him to miss me
He isn't a screecher...but he sure does babble alot. It is constant and it is to everyone. Not a shy moment in him!
He is seriously working on his molars right now. I had to give him some advil this morning, the teething tablets just weren't cutting it today. I hope they come soon.
Hope you all have a good day mamas!
I've yet to pull out my baby book, What are we suppossed to do for tantrums?
With Laia I have to admit the tantrums have me stumped. She'll start shrieking or (worse) put her head down slump her shoulders and cry like the world is ending...and it's never something that I can do that much about. Just like Noah, she's usually crying over some sort of health/safety issue (I'm NOT going to let her drag the cat around, or play with the knife, or run into the street).
I read through the Dr. Sears Temper Tantrum page (http://www.askdrsears.com/html/6/T063300.asp) and have had some luck applying the techniques.
I've had the best luck with distraction and planning ahead. For example, we went to the baby lab for another experiment today and Laia got to play with a rubber duckie toy (and I knew that getting that toy away quietly wouldn't be happening)...the researcher has a two year old and once I explained my plan she let us take the toy out to the car at the end of the study. When we did have to take the duck away (since it didn't belong to us) I was able to substitute the little rubber frog toy from the car and even though Laia got LOUD over the now-missing duckie a moment or two of insane froggie singing on her car seat had her calmed down again.
And body part showing! When Laia starts getting upset over something we ask her where her nose is, or where dada's eye is, or bubka's earring. Laia likes to point to parts so it often pulls her out of a tantrum if you can get her pointing to things.
Okay, off to work I go...have a great afternoon mamas!

Glad to hear I'm not alone w/ a screecher! Yes I agree distraction is the key!
whew it's soo hard sometimes!!!
Clay: how's the balms coming along?
AEZMama: I haven't forgotten abt. the foot soak I was going to send you, sorry..I've been soo busy!
this site is carrying my teas! Yipee!!! They only carry 6 out of the 14 teas I make, but hey it's a great start, until our site gets up!
And we are selling at the farmer's mkt's for a couple weeks as they are very selective on who they let in for the season..That's my nice way of saying it
Thanks for the tantrum advice, boy it really grates on my nerves, I guess I should've realized this was ahead for me, with my stubborn high needs boy... I constantly think "thank goodness he's cute"..
Woo hoo...its a long weekend here! We are going to the lake and Byrons godmother is coming so it will be lots of fun.
Clay- Guess what finally showed up? The samples you sent me. They are great! Thank you so much
Byron has discovered the great art of climbing. He can knock over the laundry hamper and climb up on it and sit there...then fall off. He thinks its great. My FIL just bought us one of those plastic slides for the back yard. Byron is big enough to do it all by himself and he loves it.
Gotta run mamas! Must make the most of nap time
HAve a great weekend
Avena- the balms are getting off the ground. My personal website links to my etsy store (www.notfarfromthetree.com) but there's still a link to Laia's pictures on the bottom of the page. I've had a few sales off of Etsy, and a few to people who emailed me after looking at the store (so they didn't buy through etsy, but they were still etsy people). The Momma Bird's Nest lady is just getting her online store back on it's feet (she had some family emergencies right on top of each other) so I'm hoping that with her advertising connections once her store is going full force again my balms will grow as well. Fingers crossed!
It's good to hear that your teas are doing well and you've got a good online outlet! I wish I had a bit more spare cash around the house...there are some seriously yummy looking items (along side your tea of course!) on that craftsbury kids page.
Laia's been very high needs yesterday and today so I've got to run...be well all!

Anyone else have a SUPER SUPER CLINGY baby?
OMG I'm about to go mad! DD will not let me put her down for a min. so I can pee. let alone drink some coffee...She's cutting 3 teeth..Please tell me it's the teeth, and when they finally are all in she'll be normal again?
She insists on crawling over to me grabbing my leg holds on pulls her self up and clings like a little monkey....Ahhh!
Anyone relate?
Clay: I'm pm'ya
I'm off to rest and FINALLY HAVE TIME ALONE
Hi mamas- glad to find this group again- I haven't been online much. I have a hard time thinking of james as a toddler. he doesn't walk yet, nursing's still gping strong (though he eats plenty of soluds too) and he does try to say a bunch of things, bbut they're mostly unintelligible. Anyhow- he's babyish still. I'm not worried though- he seems fine- just doing his own thing. unfortunattelt today he's sick. so it's been a long day. i just read thrpugh this thread- it's fun to hear what your little ones are up to, and yourselves. alright- i'll chat again later.
happy weekend to you all!
And I'll definitely be PMing you Avena before or during my next trip to Boston because I definitely want to put together a basket for a preggo friend of mine, and your teas will DEFINITELY be in there! If you want a little more exposure to new mamas, a friend of mine has a pp support group for new mamas and they often have teas & things there. PM me and I can give you her contact info/address. You know, I wonder if you could do a little marketing through the L&D units at hospitals, through MW offices or via LLL to give little tea packs to new mamas. The first thing I did when I went home and Andrew was in NICU was to get my Mother's Milk tea.
Andrew's also found the joy of climbing, Vanessa. I was laying in front of the ottoman and he used me as a stairway and was up in no time. He's trying to climb into the tub these days, too. He gets so frustrated when he can't find his footing.
He's pulling up on everything these days, but not steady enough to do any standing on his own yet. He's also "breakdancing" on our kitchen floor-turning in circles while sitting, then crawling and going flat. He LOVES opening the drawers in the kitchen, too.
And I'm sorry for posting this here, but I'm getting desperate and I was hoping maybe some of you mamas might know someone who can help us: My mom gave us her timeshare at the Sheraton Vistana Resort in Orlando as our wedding gift since we sacked the traditional thing and eloped. She wanted us to sell it and use the money for a house downpayment. We've had it on the market for 2 years and nary an offer received. If any of you mamas know of anyone who'd like a timeshare for annual trips to Florida (or exchangeable within the resort properties or with an exchange program for anywhere in the world) PM me and I can send more info. It's a 2 bed/2 bath villa that sleeps up to 8 people comfortably.

How cute! glad i'm not the only mama! DD is beyond cling..she's moved to VELCRO!!! !!!
I can mail direct for your preggo. friend, FYI either way Yes, Yes I need to get the word out abt. our teas! I'll pm you tomorrow for the info and will be sure to send you free teas for your efforts on spreading the LOVE & TEA!!!! Thanks for the support
DD is climbing like a monkey! She now climbs stairs..Hold on to objects w/1 or no hands and takes Steps! She is also doing this butt up in the air crawl..I'm not sure what it is! But it's funny to watch her on a 4's and her tushie waaay up high scooting around!
She's also has become insistant on assisted walking and if you try to put her down she freezes and won't bend! She stiffens up to keep walking!
Anyone else SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TIRED???
Today I felt like I did after giving birth! Maybe cuz she's been thrashing at night and DH is sick....Ahhh let's pray for sleep and NO MORE RAIN HERE!!!
SLEEP AND SUN...You warm weather mamas here me .....Share
Be well!
Has anyone had their DC wean themselves? I am just curious because several relatives have told me their 10 and 11 month old babies weaned themselves naturally. I think DS is taking me to college with him so he can keep bf. Seriously he is that into it still. And, he does bite. I never thought it'd happen. Sigh.
DS climbs and runs everywhere and babbles and screeeches. He loves to be outside and play in the dirt. Definately a boy. Anyone take their DC to the pool? I think I want to take him this summer. It is hot as hades here in LR during the summer so I might have to....
|their 10 and 11 month old babies weaned themselves
I really admire the mamas who can commit fully to child led weaning...I don't want to wean dd abruptly, but I think that I'll be leading the weaning process around 2.5 years with the goal of full weaning (except for the occassional bed time nursing) by 3 years. Of course, DH and I are on the road to TTC dc2 so that will certainly impact the timeline...so many mamas lose their milk and while I'd hope dd and I could make it through the pregnancy and tandem with the new babe, I'm not going to beat myself up over it if it doesn't happen!

Is it "dada"...no
It's DOG!
: : :
Of course it sounds more like "gog" but she points at dogs (even other, tiny dogs and pictures of dogs) and says the word...so cute!
She is also very interested in stairs, and is doing well at them because she is quite tall (like her mama, I am 5'11"). I am trying to teach her to go down them backwards, has anyone else had success at this?
We are REALLY looking forward to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Anyone have special plans? We are going up to our mountain house, and having a few friends come up for the weekend which will be great.

I too am trying to teach DC to climb off of couches backwards and to get down stairs backwards but to no avail. He just crawls or walks right off of the bed (into my arms of course because I don't leave him unsupervised!!!!)
Anyone have any tips?
Dh and I bought a house a few years ago in a "not so good but getting better" neighborhood and we've really worked with our neighbors to get the area moving on the right track. These past few months though it's almost like we haven't done anything...drug activity is up (with open dealing on the street during the day and certainly at night), there have been two shootings and three stabbings this year, and there's been a rash of gang graffiti and petty crime in the neighborhood.
Three days ago the empty rental house next door to us got a new family. Right off the bat they were a bit confrontational (DH welcomed them to the neighborhood and they told him to mind his own business). They also left their empty drink bottles on our porch and got very upset when Mike gave them back to them (and DH was really polite...just said something like "people sometimes leave things on our porch and we didn't want you to forget where you'd put these"). Then yesterday one of the sons in that family threw his half empty drink container into our side alley (sort of a tiny yard with a fence, flowers, and wood chips). DH was on the porch, gave the drink container to the kid and asked him to throw the can away instead of throwing it in our yard.
That night as we were heading out to go shopping a guy stopped us and, in a really friendly manner, told us that "you gots to be less territorial" and mentioned that when people don't get along sometimes people "lose the way" and can get hurt. He was really chummy, but we'd never seen him before and frankly considering the recent violence his "message of brotherly concern" wasn't all that innocent sounding to me. I know I recognized the oldest son of our new neighbors as a regular dealer from a few blocks over and I'm scared that this was some sort of message from him to my DH.
Sigh...when I got home from work today the fence in our side yard had been pulled out, there was trash in the alley and in the street in front of our house (and on the steps of our new neighbor's house). I picked up the litter, re-set the fence, and will keep an eye on the situation but I HATE feeling like I need to be on guard or on edge in my own home.
My parents want us to move in with them (or into a smaller home on their property) and I really don't want to. But I also don't want DH stabbed because he was picking up litter or Laia threatened because some people are idiots. I love this home and all the work we've put into it and this community...and now this.
I just want to cry.

Your family's safety is the most important thing...in the end your home is where you make it. I think I'd be outta there pretty darn fast.
Have you talked to any of the "good" neighbors about the situation?
AEZ, how funny, about the Vistana. Dh and I got a week for a wedding gift. We've been there several times... Very nice. ***When is your week, dh's family is looking for arrangements for a family vacation next spring..
I actually wish we could move, but we bought this house using a special program for "low income 1st time buyers" and if we move before we've lived here 5 years we have to pay a pretty steep penalty. We've been here for three years so far and have put SO much effort into fixing up this place (it was a former crack house, but it was built in 1913 and has amazingly gorgeous Arts&Craft style details like stained glass, leaded glass, beautiful woodwork and columns, etc)...and I also hate the feeling that I'm being "forced" to move.
My parents live about half an hour outside Ithaca on a few acres and they thought we could rent out the Ithaca house and live with them for a while. It's really beautiful out there, but we'd need a more reliable car (not in the budget) in order to get to work and my parents have a very firm religious practice which isn't compatible with DH and I so long term home sharing isn't really a healthy option.
I'm hoping the initial "rude" response was just people being cranky over moving, and maybe they just haven't lived in a neighborhood where littering isn't a norm? And today's litter/fence knocked down thing could ahve been the normal response of a 14 or 15 year old who was angry at having been "caught" by a neighbor? Gah...I'm planning on having a backyard BBQ once the weather warms up again (it SNOWED...SNOWED!!!! today) and inviting them. Sort of a more laid back "welcome to the neighborhood, oh by the way maybe you'd like to join the neighborhood watch?" event?
thanks for the hugs though...I hate this "negative" feeling but I also don't want to assume good intentions right into a major problem! (if that makes sense)

Sending you some ...I know this may sound absolutly insane but have you thought about baking them some cookies and saying here," I think we should start over again and welcome you" Ok, it may be totally not appro. esp after the last conversation/fence issue..So take it for what it's worth..But Sometimes I found when people are so outwardly mean/aggressive that if you totally be real w/love and compassion they will (sometimes, not always) change their ways toward you....i know I'm preaching, sorry! Just trying to help!!!!
DD is a motor mouth: She's say's Dog, Tree, Door, Keys, Nana (my mom hearts melts) Nana is also for Ban. too... Kitty, guitar, bird...The other day she said WOW, whoa...And she put three words together "Oh, the bird"
DH & I were shocked!
Ahh this week sucks,
Dh is SOOO sick... Wejust got back from the Naturopathic MD...We went cuz DH's ear was infected w/pain and it was bleeding
So we are thinking he's got some impacted wax or such...The ND says DH has a growth that is covering 90% of his inner ear that's why he can't hear and it's painful......He's ref. us to a Ear MD.... Say's he can't do anything for the pain, WTF?????????????
We are at what they found, don't know what to do because we have NO health Ins. I cannot even think how much $$$$$$$ Ear surgery is w/out Ins.... I feel like

Face the rear for MORE than a year! Toddlers' necks are safest in a rear facing carseat
Avena-If you go to Boston City Hospital, they have a free care program there and you can also apply for free insurance at Mass General. I think the Mass General (if you qualify) gets you a year of care. City Hospital Iknow for sure has a program b/c when dh was without insurance and had serious eye issues, he got everything for free-exams & meds. I'm just not sure about surgery. BCH is something that you would want to block a day for. Good luck!
Jess-our week is in the late summer/early fall. It's a floating week, I believe, but I think can be exchanged within Vistana. We've never actually been there or used it since we're driving distance. Ugh-I just want to get rid of it!
Keep fingers crossed for me mamas...we went into an autograph shop yesterday in the area and I started talking with the sales woman. She lets me know that the store sells the largest private collection of autographs in the world from a wealthy Palm Beach collector. I mean there are personal items from the Rolling Stones to an autographed baseball from the 2004 Red Sox to items from Ben Franklin and Samuel Adams there. REALLY cool interesting stuff. Well, long story short is the sales woman is going to Harvard to get her masters and will need a replacement and after our chat thought I'd be a great possibility. I just sent her my resume! We need the extra $$, and it would be a great job-we'd just have to do some creative car exchange and I'd have to find daycare for Andrew (who is currently having fun headbutting the sliding glass door). If that works out, we also have the possiblity of moving to a larger place for the same price we pay now. Unless we win the lottery, then all bets are off!
Take care mamas!
AEZmama- good news! My fingers are crossed for you!
Avena- OMG! How scarey for you and dh. I second AEZ....look for somewhere with free coverage.
Where can I find a link to your teas?
Clay- I think if I was in your place I would lie low for a bit and see what kind of people your new neighbours are. Since it is a rental..any chance they will move on in a short while?
I need help mamas!
Byron's molars are coming in and teething tablets are doing absolutly nothing this time around. He has went from sleeping 730 to 730 with a couple of quick boobie breaks and having a 2 hour nap to sleeping 9 to 530 with 2 or 3 half hour screaming fits in the middle of the night. I am using lots of Advil but I don't really like to. I am just really tired.
Any suggestions?
AEZmama- Yay! Oh my fingers are crossed! It sounds like things are going to work out so well...you totally deserve the nicer apartment and cool job!
The program we were part of when we bought our house is really cool. Basically they pay the downpayment on the house if you meet certain income guidelines and buy a house in a certain "type" of neighborhood. The idea is that people take better care of their property when they own, and that neighborhoods with lots of owner/occupant homes have less crime and a more friendly atmosphere. If you sell or move within 5 years though you have to pay back the down payment plus a fee (but if you don't move until after 5 years you never have to pay back the grant). It was wonderful and let us buy a house in Ithaca which would never have been possible without the grant. On the down side, we're on the messy edge of gentrification.
I'm going to invite the neighbors to a BBQ this weekend so I'll let you know what happens!
Vanessa- hugs mama...I don't have much advice though. Laia has one molar all the way in (with the other three in various stages of "ouch") and it was tough. She nursed and cried more or less non-stop for 72 hours with the first one. We used baby advil (and if you're going to use it it's better to give the advil BEFORE the babe is in a lot of pain since it works better at preventing the pain than it does at soothing it), orajel, hyland's teething tablets, bach rescue remedy, an amber teething necklace (re-worked into an anklet), cold teething toys, boobie juice and frozen banana cubes in a mesh feeder, and lots of really firm things to bite on (like the handles of wooden spoons and other items that she could get all the way to the back of her mouth and CHOMP).
Hang in there...it will pass, but I know how much fun it isn't till it does!

mama to (4/05), (6/07vbac), (8/09vbac), and (9/11vbac)
Clay-your program sounds similar to something that we are working towards here in PBC. There are 2 grants-one from the city and the other from the county-that we qualify for (once we get some credit cards paid off) and can get a good amount so long as we buy in West Palm proper. I just wish that we had heard of it last year when we found our perfect 1st home and had to let it slip away in the competitive market. There's so much available now it's astounding. Figures! We were actually house hunting about an hour before I went into labor last year (I think Andrew knew my frustration and decided to nip it in the bud!).
Here's what the show would be called"April Mamas, as the world turns, babes cutting teeth, new job prospects, crappy neighborhs and illness...
UPDATE: DH'S EAR IS ALMOST UNGLOGGED : : He's been at it all day w/peroxide & h20..then warm olive oil..I won't gross you out w/all the details of how much crap came out of his ears! Let's pray he can be free of pain and hear again!!!!! I'm soo hoping it's not a growth and just an infection that abcessed and caused the bleeding but we are still going to the ear md...They say they can't get us in until JULY!!! So we will keep looking!
THANKS MAMAS FOR ALL THE ADVICE on the free medical care, I'm gonna look into it!
Vanessa: Hugs to you & B!
I have no tested molar advice, as DD is FINALLY Cutting 3-4 teeth (she won't really let me in there either)
Have you tired Chamomile & catnip tea?
Catnip helps w/pain..Chamomile helps ease the little one..I have a teething tea I make, but it sounds like you need something NOW???
This has worked so far for DD..Mix equal parts of each herb and steep..Soak a wash cloth and let B chop/suck away...You can also make this into ice cubes if B perfers cold to warm..DD hates cold for Her teeth.. I 2nd the rescue rx!!!
Oh, here's the link where you can find some of my teas...This isn't my site..As you all know it's still in progress!
AEZmama: GOOD LUCK!!! I really hope you get the job..They'd get one great mama!!!!
Clay: Good luck w/the neighbors
Allrigth mamas,
May the powers in the allmighty universe!
that be give us* Pain free teething babes, *The new job we want/need, *Nice respectful neighbors, DH's ear to be free of pain restore hearing........ Anything else???
Oh yeah, I'm soo glad I have you all
I forgot to mention for teething,we have had NO luck w/Hylands But LUCK w/Bioron's Homeopathic Camilia, these are liquid drops and work like a charm....They were hard for me to find locally..So I went to www.webvitamins.com or www.drugstore.com
I can't remeber which one has them but you get 40 tubes for $7.....SOOOOOO worth it!

Thanks for the effort guys, and Joe, everything on the engine harness is accounted for.
I looked at it again, and this should help a LOT if someone could look under their hood:
The two plugs both come out of the same harness that supplies the oil pressure sensors on the oil filter flange, and also the starter solenoid (two subharnesses that split over the bellhousing).
The plugs are located right where these two sub-harnesses split to go their separate ways, over the bellhousing.
I need a Mensch to follow each of the two sub-harnesses from the oil filter flange and the starter solenoid backwards to where they join, and the two white plugs should be right there in plain sight.
My question is whether they mate to each other or whether they supply something I've deleted.
I will take a look at my car tonight

They do not connect together. They connect to two more connectors, each having one lead going to the upshift indicator vacuum switch the other two going back into the loom. I can get colors if you need them.
Thanks for that
Color confirmation would be great.
I snapped a quick and awful picture so you know what's up. Each connector has one wire each that goes to the vacuum sensor connector thats resting against the clutch cable, and the other sides loop around to the connector on the transmission. I'm sure most of this is stuff you deleted from the car. Hope this helps you out, the car is coming along nicely
Let me know if need anything else, I have left everything in tact on my car so it would be good for reference.

So it appears that it is all for the upshift indicator.
I'm enjoying your progress and this build immensely. I've always wanted to take on rebuild like this and I love your approach.
THANK YOU! Armed with this information, a box of parts I found at the front door when we got home from a school field trip, and a sudden new zest for Life, I finished up the CIS and installed the battery, so here's where the engine bay is at:
Now, the exhaust won't be here till tomorrow, but honestly: did you REALLY expect me to leave the ignition switch alone when I'm SO CLOSE?
Of course not. So, a few attempts that timed out the CSV, and...
*Insert really loud engine sounds, as one might expect with an open downpipe*
It idles and revs perfectly, and overall it's mostly good news:
1) The accessory belt is rock steady throughout the RPM range, and not very tight at all
2) The simplified radiator fan circuit cycles perfectly.
3) With the instrument panel temporarily plugged in to bring the voltage regulator on line, the charging system reads 13.5 volts at the battery terminals.
4) One lifter took a while to fill up and clicked at first, but now it's quiet.
5) The oil stayed perfectly clear
6) Coolant is perfectly clear, and no foam
7) The exhaust paint smoked for a bit but looks great
8) The shifter is spot on.
There are some bugs to work out:
1) The water pump developed a brisk leak at the shaft seal while sitting in the basement . New pump needed.
2)The front water jacket, which I enjoyed installing immensely because I had the intake on already, is also leaking . I took a lot of time with it and still ufcked it up
Overall I'm really happy, and mostly just relieved that the electrical system didn't suffer any apparent ill effects after being stripped down so much *phew*
Thanks again the the plug indentifications

Congrats, Eric! Glad to see you make so much progress.
As far as the water pump goes, you had to have guessed that as soon as you said this:
That said, only a small number of problems considering the work you performed. I think you deserve a hearty pat on the back. And some cold ones.

I can't wait to hear all the "told-you-so's" when the engine craps out .
The radiator sprung a leak while I was doing those burnouts that first day, but I remember it wasn't the pump.
So while I expect all of the old parts I'm using will need replacing sooner or later, I admit I didn't expect the pump to fail immediately on first start . That seems quite the coincidence.
But now that I see the new pump was only $35 complete, I do feel like I was being stupid
OTOH I'm already $3300 just to reach first engine start, buying everything that could possibly fail would make that number much worse.
Plus I still need some big ticket items like wheels and tires, re-upholstery, and a dash. I have a lead on some used Eurosport springs, so I may start with that before shelling out for my preferred H&R/Bilsteins.
You may be dealing with a totally rotted out cooling system like Becky's car had. I flushed the coolant, and then it started rejecting things. First the water pump. Then the radiator. The oil cooler three way hose. the heater valve. the heater core. It may have had a bunch of stop-leak in it. As much as we hate it - that sh!t works!

I don't feel bad at all about money spent, my point was that if one wants to make a "new" car that won't need any work for 10 years, one would need to replace darn near everything, and the cost would be absurd for a hobby econobox.
Tim, I was thinking along the same lines. I'll bet some debris that had been floating in the coolant harmlessly for years dried out or precipitated in the pump while it was sitting in the basement, and the minute I fired the engine, the shaft or the seal got gouged.
Today I'm tidying a bit, weighing the delete pile, and installing some easy stuff like brake hoses and the K-bar. The pump is on order and I'll redo the water jacket when I redo the pump.
I had that same isht happen on Laura's Golf build, I was on a shoestring budget, so I left out some minor items and did not replace everything. Sure enough, within the first year, I had replaced just about every part that I did not replace during the rebuild, and my nice clean engine had tons of oil, coolant, etc.. all over it. Lesson learned I suppose.

Replacing everything over a year's time feels better cuz you don't notice the nickles and dimes pissing away
Today I weighed the delete pile: 131 pounds! Basically I can carry someone around and have no performance penalty, except all you beer sluggers on this forum, for you I'd have to remove the hood and hatch too
I installed the new brake hoses that arrived yesterday:
I primed and painted the metal fittings, and covered them with Cosmoline once installed, to try to keep them from rusting as bad as the originals.
Then I cleaned up, painted, and installed the K-bar:
I also pulled the wires up the C-pillar for the hatch:
All that's left is the 12V+ to the license lights and to the defog element, the grounds I'll add later.
Then Petra and I went out for our Thursday Sushi lunch, hoping the exhaust would be waiting for me when we got home.
Sure enough:
As always, fitment is adequate and the sound is stellar There was a hissing leak at the stump of the sniffer pipe (I had just cut it and flattened it), but a quick weld and all's well.
The tach, speedo, fuel gauge, and charging light all work as they should.
The oil warning was doing the 2000rpm+ buzzing/blinking thing until I grounded the white oil pressure switch (replacing it didn't work) Ideas?
Edit: I was sweeping and I have an update on the finch that got stuck fluttering around the garage ceiling and crapped on the S1 (those of frail emotion please avert your eyes):
I guess it never found the way out even though both garage doors were wide open . It must've got pooped out (pun indended) and died, which was disappointing to see.

I spent most of the day cleaning up, since the car has reached the milestone of having a running drivetrain. The tiptissery is now on the fire pit pile, and the general grunge has been removed from the garage and the basement and everything in them.
I did get the antenna installed:
I don't anticipate having a radio in this car, but:
If I want a radio someday,
I'd need an antenna,
so I'd have to remove the rear of the headliner,
so I'd have to remove the quarter glass,
and the hatch seal,
and who knows what else.
So I put an antenna in now
Oh and Blooper for the day:
I was installing the steering column, but astute observers will note that it's not on the car, and the column itself is missing.
See, the splines were a snug fit into the U joint. Now, if I'd had a screwdriver on me, I'd have spread the U joint a bit...
...but all I had was a hammer.
So I hit the top of the column, and as I'm *whack* hitting, the splines are slowly engaging *smack*, and I'm recalling that I read somewhere *smash* that you shouldn't do that *pow*, but since I can't remember why *bang*, it can't be that important...
...except that now the column is 3" too short
...and won't extend because the strap the sets the length got caught in the telescoping part and it's totally jammed I have folks with bigger tools and bigger arms working on it, but we'll see how that works out...
So I get the doofus award today
Last night I got the tail lights and the license plate backing plate cleaned up and installed:
I'm missing a bunch of bulbs but the brake lights and the reverse lights work, which is good because it means my wiring is so-far-so-good.
I also got the front end halves torn down, not much to start with that's good:
I'll think these rotors are good for one more resurfacing :
This morning we got up early to spend the day with our 10 year old's friend at the drag strip. His Dad made him this mini dragster :
He also fixed the steering column for me. The telescoping section is really snug, but to be sure that vibration wouldn't let it lengthen and bind the U-joints, it even has a nice strap rigged up to replace the one I broke, and the lower bearing is tweaked to work and slide like it should but not fall out .
It feels really smooth . Next was the switch assembly, steering wheel and column covers:
The wipers work but the washer doesn't. I also noticed the vents don't work well, so a couple of things to troubleshoot yet. I also have to get some bulbs to check turn signals, lighting, etc...

Those wire colors look like Green w/ White Stripe

can you twist the thing around some more and snap a second picture to contrast/compare?
(I think I have a PDF version of Scirocco MkII/16V schematics around somewheres...)
Two thoughts come to mind; are the brown wires Zero ohms to Chassis Ground? (vs being brown ground wires that are switched ground wires.)
Secondly; many early VWs like ours had test point junctions for the Bosch Certified Stations/Dealers, etc to plug tsting equiptment into the loom without disconnection stuff. Theres connectors cause a great deal of head scratching if you are trying to "find out were these loose wires go?"
[EDIT] I see you fired it up and got the basics of a running engine so my post might be moot at this point.
Still, It would be nice to be definitive in finding out what purposes those wires/connectors serve.
(Oh, I just remembered- they are for the optional Flux Capacitor!. well- duh...)

Today I finally got to see Star Trek Into Darkness this afternoon. I had not tried to scrupulously avoid spoilers, and so I had some sense of some details that would be coming. I had even heard some complaints from longtime fans. My feelings about the movie were on the whole positive, indeed I really enjoyed it over all. But there are a few quibbles to be voiced as relate to the way that J. J. Abrams has gone about his reboot. Spoilers ahead!
The movie starts on the planet Nibiru, and the name was not simply a random made up one. Nibiru is an astronomical term in Babylonian literature. But the pseudoscientific writings of Zecharia Stichin use the name for a supposed twelfth planet in our solar system. Whether we are to envisage some symbolic significance in that, or merely that future humans thought it would be fun to put the name onto an actual planet, is hard to say.
Kirk has decided to try to prevent a primitive civilization from being destroyed by a volcano, and he tries to avoid breaking the prime directive, but decides that saving Spock's life is more important. We soon see the primitive people sketching the outline of the Enterprise in the dirt, and the overall context indicates that they attribute religious significance to what they saw. Later, as Admiral Pike addresses the issue with Kirk of his disregard for rules and his total lack of humility, there is reference to "playing God" – and the more direct reference of this to the risks he took with his crewmembers reconates also with the impact on the inhabitants of Nibiru.
The remainder of the story focuses on the actions of one John Harrison – which, we later learn, is simply a pseudonym for Khan Noonian Singh. It was cool to see Noel Clarke (Mickey Smith) in the movie, and I wonder whether the musical score in the scene in which he appears, with its rhythm of four beats, was an intentional allusion to Doctor Who. If so, it was a nice touch.
It is at this point, however, that things get sketchy. I liked the exploration of militarism and terrorism in the movie. It was the attempts at hommage or perhaps fidelity to the original Star Trek timeline that were annoying, precisely because this is supposedly the same universe, only with some changes having been made to history. But how did those changes result in the Botany Bay (Khan's ship) being discovered sooner, presumably closer to Earth? How did it lead to Praxis, a moon of the Klingon homeworld Kronos, blowing up earlier? How did they get tribbles earlier? If this were simply a parallel universe, or a reenvisaging along the lines of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica, then I would simply take them as tributes to the original. But if this is supposed to be the original but with some time travel having rewritten some events, and this is before the five-year mission, then these things become puzzling.
But that is nit-picking. I liked the movie overall, including what was done by bringing Khan into contact with Starfleet Admiral Marcus and the issues it allowed the film to explore. And so, even if this Kirk's recitation of the words of the classic opening monologue lacked something, I appreciated the speech that immediately preceded them, in which he talks about not pursuing revenge, that not being "our way" for Starfleet. There is something in that which is true to the spirit of the original series, in which the question of Starfleet's exploratory and military roles are often to the fore.
What did you think of the movie?

Glencore Xstrata today promised investors the $46 billion deal (£29 billion) that created the commodities giant would result in at least four times the amount of savings than previously claimed.
As senior bosses met with investors in London, chief executive Ivan Glasenberg announced the company had identified at least $2 billion in savings by next year, having originally promised to find just $500 million when the takeover — the largest the mining sector has ever seen — was unveiled last year.
Since the purchase of Xstrata by Glencore was completed in May shares in the combined group have been struggling in comparison to its rivals in the mining sector, and an investor day was being held in London today in an attempt to convince the Square Mile that the takeover has been a success so far.
With the increase in cost savings revealed much higher than analysts had been expecting, Glencore Xstrata shot up 10.6p to 331.9p.
Glasenberg, pictured, said the integration of the Anglo-Swiss miner had been "successfully and rapidly completed", and added that most of the synergies had come from slimming down overhead costs at its head and regional offices.
There were also suggestions there could be even more savings, with Glasenberg revealing the company was "just starting to comprehensively look at the combined mining and metallurgical operations."
Glencore Xstrata said $450 million of the savings would come from marketing, with $175 million and $1.4 billion from financing and cost savings respectively.
The company said it would reduce capital expenditure by $3.5 billion by 2015, while also keeping spending to sustain op-erations at $4 billion — towards the bottom of previous forecasts. It also vowed to shelve risky projects.
In addition, Glencore announced it would apply for a secondary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, citing South Africa's "strong institutional investor base" and describing Africa as "an important and growing market for the group".
Last month investors were hit by Glencore Xstrata announcing a $7.7 billion writedown on Xstrata's assets in the wake of plunging metal prices amid fears over the prospects for the commodities-hungry Chinese economy.
At the time Glasenberg promised cost savings would be "materially in excess" of $500 million.
Comment: Glasenberg still on the hunt
It must surely be a coincidence that Glencore is able to save so much more money from this giant merger after the reassuringly expensive Xstrata boss Mick Davis and his private-jet loving cronies were strapped into the ejector seat early.
But this welcome upping of the savings target by Ivan Glasenberg comes more from stripping out regional offices than executive frippery. The hard-driving South African suggests even more to come as he begins to look over metals and mining projects.
With a bit of luck, Glasenberg can convince the City that his merger, the realisation of a long-held dream to combine the two companies, is much more than a vanity project sealed at the worst possible time – just as the commodities boom came unstuck.
Investors will get more reassurance when Glencore Xstrata produces its new chairman, an appointment which the autocratic Glasenberg is unlikely to be pushing for an early resolution.Reuse content

Last Chance Foods: Kimchi
Kimchi, Korea's national dish, is a phenomenon. The sheer numbers speak for themselves: The average Korean eats about 40 pounds of kimchi a year, according to one source. That means 1.6 million tons of kimchi is consumed in South Korea annually. In fact, when South Korea sent its first man into space last year, he took with him a specially created, bacteria-free space kimchi to share with his Russian counterparts at the International Space Station.
Kimchi — despite being smelly, full of microbes, and a living, bubbling, specimen — is delicious. Savory, spicy, sour, and carbonated at times, kimchi is made from cabbage and/or radish. The traditional kimchi, known as kimjang, is made at the end of the harvest season. Women from the community typically all gather to prepare the last of the year's Napa cabbage crop. The leaves are soaked in salt brine for several hours, then smeared with a paste made from chili and anchovy sauce, among other secret ingredients that vary from family to family. Then the whole cache is stored in clay pots and buried underground. A Korean family typically uses 100 to 200 heads of Korean cabbage to make enough kimchi to last through the winter. Lauryn Chun, the owner of Mother-In-Law's Kimchi, recalls her grandmother making kimjang in South Korea. A small-batch kimchi maker, Chun spoke with WNYC's Amy Eddings recently about the fermented cabbage and its role in Korean culture.
"You would get a community of women, three or four houses, and the women would gather around together and make this whole communal batch of this kimchi," Chun said. "When I was 6 years old watching my grandmother make this, it probably felt like it was 500 pounds [of kimchi]."
Chun, a former sommelier, started making artisanal kimchi after losing her job in wine marketing. She had shared her mother's kimchi with friends and noticed that she was bringing more and more jars back to New York from her family's home in California. The transition to making it a profession seemed natural. Then, after launching her product at New York City's International Pickle Day last October, Florence Fabricant wrote a New York Times review about Chun's kimchi.
Chun explains that the active bacteria in kimchi is the same as that found in yogurt. "Bacteria is the beginning of all life forms," she added, "so there's this connection in all types of pickling, in that it's really based on this fermentation process, which is kind of magical."
While kimchi is traditionally eaten as a side dish, or used as an ingredient in Korean cooking, Chun encourages experimentation. She noted that kimchi pairs particularly well with pork and shared her recipe for kimchi tacos, below.
Mother-in-Law's Spicy Kimchi Tacos
- 1 pound of pork loin
Sauce for pork:
- 1/2 cup of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of mirin
- 3 peeled garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon of whole grain mustard.
- 1/2 cup of chopped MILKimchi
- 2 tablespoons of diced jalapeno
- fresh cilantro
- lime wedges
- Soft corn tortillas
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
2. Combine ingredients for sauce and pork loin in a ovenproof pot (Le Creuset, for instance).
3. Roast pork in oven covered for 1 1/2 hours.
4. Remove pork and chop for tacos.
5. Heat soft corn tacos in skillet over medium heat.
6. Plate taco with chopped pork, MILKimchi and other garnishes.

Rep. Doug Wardlow (R-Eagan) goes full tenther last night introducing an amendment to the Health and Human Services bill. His amendment excempts Minnesota from the federal health care reform law, the Affordable Care Act, that past a year ago. Tea Partiers like Wardlow claim the 10th Amendment gives states the right to declare federal laws null and void if they don't like them.
Unfortunately, teabaggers have a poor grasp of the Constitution and always always always ignore the parts of it they don't like. They ignore the fact that in the 10th Amendment the framers avoided the word "expressly" when describing the limitations of federal laws.
Teabaggers always always always ignore Article I, Section 8:
Section 8. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States.
The crazy, it hurts. Make it stop.

Guest post by Amy from Homestead Revival
There's a lot out in the blogging community about "getting prepared" (a.k.a. "prepping" or "food storage") and the people who adhere to this premise typically fall into one of several categories: they either grew up in a culture where this was common (farmers, for example), or they're hard core survivalists believing that everyone else is the enemy, or they're doomsdayers who are fearful of the future and sure the world is coming to an end. Just like a lot of things in this fallen world, there are some truths and good points each group espouses, but none of these philosophies would be consistent with a Christian world view.
To answer these controversial issues, we must turn to the Bible for wisdom. And if you were to do so, you'd find that there are examples of both; where God's people or individuals prepped for hard times and famine (Genesis 6-7 and 37; Matthew 25: 1-13) and instances when they were called to go without being prepared (Exodus 16; I Kings 17:1-16; Matthew 10).
While there seems to be more examples of people not being prepared in the Bible than those that were actually prepared, I believe that during biblical times, trusting God to literally provide manna from heaven wasn't the norm and preparedness was more of a way of life during Biblical times. (Just do a Bible word search on "store" to get an idea). Food wasn't readily available at a supermarket, so people had to daily think way ahead for food supplies in order to just survive. Hunting, fishing, raising their own food, storing wheat… this was normal. Walking in faith that God would provide at the very moment of need was not!
Since there isn't a specific biblical command not to prepare or store up food, I think it's pretty easy to come to the conclusion that a Christian can prep without being in sin. But why would a believer want to or feel the need to do so?
Any number of scenarios might require a believer to be prepared, from the very possible financial crisis to the less likely terrorist attack. Since we do not know what tomorrow may bring (Proverbs 27:1; James 4:13-15), we would be foolish indeed to assume that everything will always remain stable in a fallen world. This isn't Mayberry and there's an enemy out to destroy us (I Peter 4:8). And anyone watching, listening, or reading the news lately would most likely agree that the world as we have known it is fragile indeed.
All preparations should be made with the intent to share both food and the good news with the less fortunate, our neighbors who are truly in need, and the vulnerable in our society (elderly, orphan, widow, handicapped, physically infirm, etc.). There are plenty of examples in the Bible that speak to this, but the one that is both comforting and chilling can be found in Matthew 25:31-46 where Jesus talks about the sheep and the goats – those that took care of the stranger or their neighbor and those that did not. After reading the passage, there is no doubt in my mind that we must maintain our food stores with an open hand.
Sadly, there always has been and will always be those who do not feel the need to prepare nor be ready to share. God knew this would be the case and so He gave us several reminders in scripture that speak about the fool as the one who is not prepared:
Proverbs 21:20 – "There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man swallows it up."
Proverbs 6:6-9 – "Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep?"
Proverbs 30:24-25 – "Four things are small on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise: The ants are not a strong people, But they prepare their food in the summer;"
- Being self controlled enough to set aside some food each week into storage for hard times or presuming that the grocery store will always have what you need when you want it?
- Saving three months worth of extra food like you save extra cash in the bank for emergencies, large purchases, and needs or eating everything in your pantry each week and assuming you'll have an opportunity to buy more later?
- Working diligently to put up extra canned goods, water, batteries, and such for a natural disaster or depending on FEMA to be at your door within 24 hours of a crisis?
- Keeping a spirit of hospitality in your heart and adding a bit more food than your family needs at the moment to the pantry in order to be ready to share with a friend or stranger in need or thinking only of your own family's needs with the attitude that others will provide for them (like the government perhaps)?
I'll be the first to agree that we can't prepare for everything and some disasters could wipe out all we've set aside. We've seen what earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornados can do. Do not let that fact keep you from being faithful with what God has already graciously bestowed. And who knows? If your food storage is suddenly gone, perhaps He'll provide for your own family from someone's food storage who has wisely prepared as well!
Amy stepped into the world of homesteading a little over 12 years ago when she embarked on a food journey that took her on new adventures in gardening, keeping chickens, beekeeping, learning about goats, and many more fascinating things. Her desire is to become God-sufficient and pass on her love for homesteading to her three daughters and the next generation! She shares about all this and more at her blog, Homestead Revival.

The four-time champion predicted after beating Marcus Campbell in the last 32 that the winner would come from the world's top 16 but possibly from outside the favoured trio of himself, Neil Robertson and the in-form Ding Junhui.
That group would include both Maguire, who was the first man through with a fifth successive win over fellow Scot John Higgins, and Hawkins, who saw off Shaun Murphy in a 6-5 finish shortly before 11.30pm.
A break of 90 won Maguire the opening frame but Higgins battled to 2-2 at the interval.
Maguire made 59 and a tournament-high 142 in the first two frames back and was always in control from then on.
He said: "It's a great win, any time you beat John is a proud moment.
"I felt good after the interval. I should probably have been 3-1 up, maybe even 4-0, and at two each I was thinking 'have I given it away?'
"But I was happy how I knuckled down after the interval."
In the other game, Hawkins trailed 2-0 but drew level by the interval after breaks of 87 and 50.
He made two centuries in the first three frames back, though Murphy took the one between and was able to force a final frame with a 69 break.
But after Murphy missed a long red, Hawkins made 70 and then edged over the line.
Murphy paid tribute to the victor, saying: "Barry's full of confidence on the back of his Australian Open win, he now believes he's a winner.
"That is a massive difference, those six inches between your ears make all the difference."
Hawkins was on course for a maximum break - and the accompanying £59,000 payday - in the final frame but discretion proved the better part of valour as he opted for a blue.
"I was actually thinking about it, up to about 48, and I just came a bit too far on a black," he said.
"I talked myself out of it, I said 'don't be silly, just try and win the match first'. I'm pleased I made that decision, that's the most important thing."
The third round concluded earlier in the day, with O'Sullivan improving after the interval to defeat Campbell 6-2 with two centuries.
The Londoner said: "There's still a long way to go - hopefully.
"The danger is everyone thinking me, Ding and Neil are the hot favourites. I believe the winner could come from someone who's just coming into form now.
"I'm not writing myself off, otherwise I might as well throw a sick note in, and I'm not writing off Ding's or Neil's chances.
"I'm just saying that the top-16 guys who have not been getting the results, it's probably a matter of time before they have their good spell."
Ding won this title in 2005 and 2009 and is on pace to repeat the four-year cycle after beating Fergal O'Brien 6-1.
But continuing his current hot streak - which has seen him win the Shanghai Masters, the Indian Open and the International Championship in China - would mean more to the world number three.
Stephen Hendry, in 1990, was the last player to win four ranking titles consecutively and Ding said: "That's the legend, no-one has done that since he did it so... I'll try."
World number one Robertson kicked off his 6-3 win over China's Li Hang with a 141, defending champion Mark Selby dispatched Stuart Carrington 6-0 and Ricky Walden beat Mark Williams 6-5.
There were also victories for Robert Milkins, Mark Allen and David Morris, who ended the dream run of Sheffield amateur Mitchell Travis with a 6-1 win.

Mom has taken in new kittens to foster.
Since I am Queen Kitteh, I must set a good example by being a gracious hostess. This isn't an easy task for me, because it means I have to share my food bowl. The youngsters don't seem to understand that I should eat before anybody else does. And they have NO manners at all.
One of the boys actually crawled INTO my food bowl to eat. I fussed at him, but he didn't budge. He even made a little growl. I think he was afraid there would never be any more food besides what's in the bowl. I wondered if he was gonna just curl up in the bowl and sleep on top of it to make sure it didn't go anywhere. THAT woulda been my ultimate kitty nightmare. Imagine not being able to eat out of my special kitty bowl. Oh, the tragedy. The mere thought of it has given me a kitty migraine.

It's in the grape: New Zealand vintners pioneer low-alcohol techniques
By Naomi Tajitsu
WELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand's cooler climate is giving its winemakers an edge as they seek to exploit growing global demand for lighter, premium wines, as rising temperatures push up the alcohol content of wines from rivals such as Australia and the United States.
The 2015 vintage of the country's flagship Sauvignon Blanc will be the first produced under a government-backed initiative to research and produce wines that dispel the image of low-alcohol, low-calorie wines as overly sweet, inferior tastes.
"There's been a global awakening to the fact that there's a limited quantity of premium lower alcohol white wines available and we've captured the first wave of that market," said John Forrest, winemaker and owner of Forrest Wines based in Marlborough, the main producing region for New Zealand's aromatic, fruity take on the Bordeaux grape.
Now in its seventh vintage, Forrest's 9 percent Sauvignon Blanc comprises nearly half the label's production and is shipped to high-end supermarket Waitrose in Britain, and Whole Foods in the United States.
Developing full-flavored wines below the typical 12-14 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) could position New Zealand winemakers as a producer of quality wines for a growing niche market, enabling the NZ$1.35 billion ($1.03 billion) industry to grow its share of the global wine trade.
A survey of wine drinkers in Europe and North America by research firm Wine Intelligence shows 39 percent of respondents were buyers of wines with an alcohol content below 10.5 percent last year, rising nearly 9 percent from 2013.
Nielsen data shows that in the United States, the world's biggest wine consumer by volume, store sales of wines with an alcohol content below 12 percent were worth $2.7 billion in the past year, up 33 percent from 2011 and outpacing growth in higher alcohol categories.
But growing grapes for a lower alcohol wine is "extremely hard", says Simon Hooker, general manager of research at trade body NZ Wine, which is running a $13 million Lifestyle Wine project, as it involves slowing the fruit's sugar development, which affects the alcohol level, while mellowing its acidity before the grape is picked.

Norway's center-right alliance, led by Conservative Erna Solberg, has claimed victory in the national election. Incumbent Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg has conceded defeat after eight years in office.
Conservative Party leader Erna Solberg looked set to become Norway's next prime minister after her center-right alliance claimed victory.
With three quarters of votes counted, a bloc of four center-right parties had won 96 of 169 seats in parliament. Prime Minister Stoltenberg's three-party coalition won 72, compared to the 86 they had in the outgoing parliament.
Stoltenberg, who has led Norway for eight years, conceded defeat late in the day, saying his Labuor Party tried "to do what almost no one has done, to win three elections in a row, but it turned out to be tough."
"In accordance with Norwegian parliamentary tradition, I will seek the resignation of my government after the presentation of the national budget on October 14, when it's clear that there is a parliamentary basis for a new government."
Minutes later, Solberg, nicknamed "Iron Erna" for her tough image, hailed Monday's "historic" result.
"Today the voters have produced a historic election victory for the right-wing parties," she told supporters in Norway's capital, Oslo.
Precise coalition unknown
Talks must now begin to decide the exact makeup of a center-right government. Solberg is expected to begin negotiations with the anti-immigration Progress Party, which came out on Monday as Norway's third-strongest party.
Solberg is also expected to approach the Liberal Party and the Christian Democrats, without whom, preliminary results suggest she will be unable to form a majority government. At the very least, she would need their support should she wish to run a minority government with the Progress Party.
The Progress Party's right-wing stances might dissuade the smaller Christian Democrats and Liberals from joining a potential coalition government, or alternatively lead to a difficult union of all four parties.
Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in attacks on two sites tied to the Labor Party two years ago, was once a member of the Progress Party. He left saying the party was too soft.

(Nov. 30, 2010) The Diet (Japan's Parliament) amended the laws on salaries of various categories of public servants on November 26, 2010. (For the status of bills, see House of Representatives website [in Japanese], http://www.shugiin.go.jp/itdb_gian.nsf/html/gian/kaiji176.htm (last visited Nov. 26, 2010).) These laws have been amended every year to adjust the level of public servants' salaries to the level equivalent to salaries in the private sector. The comparison is made by the National Personnel Authority (NPA), which then makes recommendations on the officials' remuneration to the Diet and the Cabinet. (NPA, NPA Recommendations (Remuneration of Public Employees), http://ssl.jinji.go.jp/en/recomme/recomme.html (last visited Nov. 26, 2010).) This year, the recommendations and the amendment of the laws are noteworthy because public servants in certain age groups were targeted for adjustments in salary.
The number of older, highly paid bureaucrats has increased because they have stayed in the government sector longer than before as a result of the government's efforts to curb the arrangement of post-retirement positions for them in the private sector. The amended laws cut the salaries of officials aged 40 and older by an average of 0.1% and imposed an additional cut of 1.5% in principle on the salaries of those who will be 56 or older in fiscal 2010. Annual bonuses are cut to 3.95 months' worth of salary from 4.15 months. The authority proposed maintaining the salaries of public servants in their thirties and younger because they are lower than those of their private-sector counterparts. (NPA, Outline of the 2010 NPA Remuneration Recommendation (Aug. 10, 2010), http://ssl.jinji.go.jp/en/recomme/remuneration2010.pdf; Kyodo News, Older Civil Servants Facing Pay Cut, JAPAN TIMES (Aug. 11, 2010), http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nb20100811a3.html; Law to Amend the Law Concerning Remuneration of General Civil Servants, 2010, and other amendments to related laws).

Midwives in the Czech Republic are furious at legislation which bars them from assisting a woman to give birth outside of a hospital. The European Commission recognizes midwives, but not the Czech Republic. Birthing Centers which allow a woman to give birth outside of a hospital can only function if there is a resident doctor on staff.
Women have been giving birth to babies for thousands of years without requiring doctors. Midwives are among the oldest female professions and there are 5,500 of them in the Czech republic. Hospitals are wonderful, but for some women, they are scenes of horror and lack of a sense of intimacy they prefer when giving birth to children. Until there is evidence birthing centers are not performing their job or actual stories of incompetent midwives, why can't women make their own choice as to who delivers and where it occurs?

There is one positive to Tommy's parents living so far away from us but still in the same county....Freshberry is on the way. I never would have tried this fabulousness if I didn't have to pass it on my way there. You guys, it is so good I would go out of the way to eat it. I am just lucky I go to Tommy's parents at least once a week....and this week I have already been to Freshberry twice. For my Tulsa readers, our local Freshberry is at 111th and Memorial. I know, its not around many of our neck of the woods but it is soooo worth the drive.
Okay, so how is the yogurt any different than TCBY, Braums, even McDonald's : )? Honestly, you have never tasted another yogurt like it! It is more tart than sweet...but in a good way. And, you know I love a good sweet. Growing up in Shreveport we would often have yogurt from this place called Counter Culture Yogurt and the yogurt was really tart and the toppings were granola and fresh fruit and honey. (It sounds weird but it was soooo fabulous...especially the honey!) The Freshberry Yogurt is so close to my childhood memories --it is the perfect substitute. The past three times I have been I have gotten the tart yogurt with granola and fresh strawberries and blueberries. It just tastes so healthy. If there was one in midtown, I would have to go on a "Freshberry Budget" because I would seriously want one daily.
If you are on the fence about tart yogurt, they give free samples of all of their flavors. The strawberry tastes less tart and more like "regular" frozen yogurt to me. And, tonight I also tried the acai berry (you know -- the superfruit) and I loved that flavor too. I think I will try that next time.
Kelsey, I know you love a good dessert find. We must go when you get back in town! Let me know if you guys try it! I promise you will love it!

It turns out when you reduce the number of drivers talking on handheld cellphones, you reduce traffic fatalities and injuries.
That's the shocking conclusion of a study by the University of California at Berkeley's Safe Transportation Research and Education Center, which determined that a state law enacted in July 2008 that bans drivers using handheld cellphones has saved lives in the Golden State.
As the Associated Press reports, the study "found that overall traffic deaths dropped 22 percent, while deaths blamed on drivers using hand-held cellphones were down 47 percent. Deaths among drivers who use hands-free phones dropped at a similar rate."
The study reviewed traffic deaths and injuries for two-year periods before and after the ban took effect. It found the number of drivers killed while using a handheld phone dropped to 53 in the two years after the ban from 100 in the two years prior. Injuries fell by more than 50% to 7,720 from 3,862.
Now, we can argue that drivers continue to use handheld phones in states where they've been banned (and that's absolutely true), so that it's impossible to conclude cause and effect here.
But as the AP writes, an "unrelated survey commissioned by the state last summer found 40 percent of drivers say they talk less while driving since the ban took effect, even if they have a legal hands-free device."
Again, you can poke holes in surveys that rely on self-reporting of behavior related to laws, but the state survey echoes the findings in 2010 of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which determined that in states with cellphone bans on the books, 44% of drivers say they comply with the law, versus 30% of drivers in states without handheld phone laws who say they don't use handheld cellphones even if they're allowed to.
Of course, the numbers above show that most drivers -- even in states where there's a ban -- still will use their handheld phones. California's Department of Motor Vehicles reports more than 460,000 convictions in 2011 for driving while using a handheld phone.
Convicted violators in California currently face a $20 base fine for a first offense, though with court-related and other fees that amount can approach $200.
It's amazing to me that anyone seriously disputes the notion that piloting vehicles weighing 3,000 pounds or more at high speeds while talking on cellphones, texting, tweeting and Facebooking doesn't create a potentially deadly distraction for the driver. Or that somehow our "freedoms" outweigh the obvious danger to the public of distracted driving, which existed before the advent of handheld electronic devices but is now clearly at an all-time high.
But don't take my word for it. Rather, listen to Taylor Sauer, a college student who, while driving in Idaho on January 14, posted on her Facebook wall, "I can't discuss this matter now. Driving and Facebooking is not safe. ha ha."
Moments later, Taylor died instantly after crashing into the back of a semitrailer while she was traveling 88 miles per hour. Investigators say the deceased student was sending an average of about one text per minute on her long drive home from Utah State University.

Gordon's anger at Bowyer dates back 7 months
There are 9 comments on the SanLuisObispo.com story from Nov 16, 2012, titled Gordon's anger at Bowyer dates back 7 months. In it, SanLuisObispo.com reports that:
Gordon's reputation took a hit among his peers and he was fined $100,000 by NASCAR.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at SanLuisObispo.com.

I just do not understand the fact that he got fined and others do not. When D.Patrick admitted she wrecked another driver because she wanted to make point, nothing was done. That is what I just do not understand about NASCAR, how they can discipline one driver and just ignore what another does, that is the same infraction. Perhaps it is because of Patrick being a woman, well the guy that looks at these infractions,his actions become suspicious.

at Marttinsvile, Jeff was poised to win the 200 for Hendrick & Bowyer wrecked him on the last lap. this was Per Hendrick in an interview today.and Bowyer is a bully. he needs to come down a notch or two. he does Not have much respect but look who is his boss. M Waltrip. who loves to run his dumb mouth. Bowyer needs to be taken out in the woods & left awhile. Jeff stated he did not mean to wreck him only bump the car but Bowyer spotter told Bowyer to go down low , he was scared of Gordon and the air got them both. so be it. end of story. Bowyer needs to grow up, quit whinning.

You're right. DANICA is treated differently because she's a girl. She's all about feminism (which has absolutely nothing to do with being feminine) and being just like the men but I say if you want to be treated like a man & race with the men you'd better learn to fight like a man and take a punch if you get out of line. These stupid feminists want it all ways: to participate in everything men do, but treat me like a lady even when I act like an emotionally controlled hormonal spoiled brat. Nope. You want equality - you got it. Take it like a man. From one woman to another.

Jeff Gordon erased that fake TV smile off Bowyer's face and it's about time he did. Bowyer had it coming for a long time and shouldn't be a cry baby about it. If Joonyer wasn't Jeff's team mate he would probably get the same thing, Joonyer cost us a lot of races and good finishes this year too.
#7 Nov 19, 2012
First of all what is this "US" business, are you on the Hendrick pay roll? Second, you say that Jeff Gordon erased that fake TV smile off of Boyer's Face? Now, please refresh my mind as to who it was running toward the transporter of a driver and who was hiding inside of the transporter. Jeff has never really changed that much from the little kid that Brooke led around by the nose while planning on her multi million dollar divorce.
There is only two images of Jeff Gordon attempting to man up,(1) at the bottom of a 5 hour energy pile and (2) in a little girley slap fest with Jeff Burton.
Jeff is having an idenity problem, for many years he was THE driver, first in open wheel racing and then for Bill Davis and last for Rick Hendrick. Although Jeff would be the last to admit to it, he has a very hard time with the fact that Jimmie Johnson is and will be the number one driver at HMS and there is nothing Jeff can do about it. Jeff has gotten the reputation as rather than being the driver who will move somebody for the lead has become that driver that can be moved. He is much like Mark Martin, both are well respected and neither are feared or thought of as a week to week driver that can win.
