Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
I did a write-up with pics here.....
Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
That's a good writeup. However, having owned both a 2009 and now a 2013 V, the wiring harnesses are different between the two and so is the mounting point on the mirror (none on the 2012-13, definitely present on the 2009).
Otherwise, the same basic principles apply to that extensive an install.

Re: V1 Hardwire with BlendMount and Invisicord
no, but hoping someone answers so i can do my '13 as well
Re: V1 Hardwire with BlendMount and Invisicord
Here you go, bud. I had to do this on my '13.
Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
only thing i have yet to figure out is will i just reach behind the mirror to hit mute or volume adjust, or do i mount that somewhere else? any thoughts?

Re: V1 Hardwire with BlendMount and Invisicord
1) pull the wiring cover off the mirror bracket (easy pry off, just pops off, angle the mirror down if you need better access)
2) remove bolt from mirror holddown to window (small star head, angle mirror back up to get a straight shot at the bolt)
3) slide up mirror until it is off the window metal tab, then rotate it 180 to where you can see/access the tiny latch in the square electrical connector (it normally is hidden facing the window, don't try to pry/push in the small white dots on each side of it like I did, they don't do anything).
4) take a small screwdriver and just press in the latch and the connector will pop apart, now you have the mirror completely off and in your hand.
5) Invisicord prongs are fine as is, no need to cut, shave, bend, etc if you do it my way. You will be pushing them into the "mirror-side" of the connector, so the colors don't mean anything; you have to match up the wires to the ones that are colored pink (for yellow) and black/white (for black). Watch out, there is a brown/white that threw me off for a bit (and a yellow too which other V's use, but not the Coupe).
6) Once you have located the pink wire and black/white wire on the "car-side" of the connector, note which "mirror-side" wires match (they are both on the "bottom row" of the connector when it is sitting in installed position.
7) Route the invisicord wire up through the hole in the bottom of the mirror bracket, to where the wire will end up coming out the "bottom" of the entire bracket, just past the window metal square.
8) push the connectors into the two wire holes, it will take a bit of pulling/tugging/aligning, but since the whole mirror is off in your hand its easier to work with.
9) once the wires are fully pushed in, pull the entire invisicord tight, then lay the "phone cord" body of it in the narrow channel on either side of the bolt hole that screws into the window metal square, then out the "bottom".
10) now take the whole mirror, connect to connector, slide onto metal square (making sure not to pinch the phone cord part of invisicord), screw in mirror bolt, and pop back on beauty cover. you are done.
This method has the cord coming out the bottom of the mirrror bracket, which curves right around and plugs into my V1 mounted on the blendmount. If you prefer the wiring coming out the "top" of the whole thing you'd need to bend the wiring 180 degrees, or try to push the invisicord pins into the "car-side" of the connector/etc. I like the clean look of the wire coming straight out/over to the V1.
Good luck!
Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
ok, finally finished the radar mount project
-bought the safe n' sound with narrow pins, but cord still too long, so made my own shorter one
-bought blendmount, but didn't like the low hanging v1, so made a different plate to include that puts it to the right of the mirror. this allows me to not see it in my vision, but it's still hanging up high with antennas in clear view front and back, access to mute/volume, etc. but not cables down to dash, just power from the mirror
vid to follow...

Hey neuronbob and axe. You both have extra invisacords? I would be interested in buying one of them. I have my escort hardwired to my mirror but the wire they provided aren't the base the it doesn't give very good signal/power. Shoot me a pm. Thanks
Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
Nice install axe. Very original.
Cadzilla8, I'll try to locate my Invisacord. Note that it is the one with the wide blades.
Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
Thanks Bob. i'm happy with it.
zilla, I've got mine lying right in front of me. PM you in a sec.

Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
So with a 2010 do I need the thin blades?
Also, color for power/ground?
Thanks in advance.

Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
I had the invisicord/blendmount setup in my 09 V sedan and my 11 Vcoupe. Did all the installation myself. When I got my 12 coupe I had the dealer tap in while I was picking the car up. Nothing to it, and no explosions or electrical problems since, so I can't offer much other than to say I probably would always have the dealer do the electrical stuff from now on.
Re: 2012 Which Wire to use for invisicord Radar Detector?
i'm not positive on this, but at some point i think they went from the big connector on the mirror itself to the small connector above the mirror, and the thinner blades work best for the latter, though not sure what years. is that right, Bob? Ron, if you post a pic, would be easier to make a guess.
the install was overall pretty basic stuff. i have a video i'm stitching together right now on it. hardest part for me was making the bracket extension for horizontal mounting of actual V1 behind the mirror. hopefully have that posted by the weekend.

I'm glad we didn't see the same bad behaviour on the m0n0wall list as on
the pfsense list with regards to this issue.
It was sad to see lead pfsense developers spitting at AT&T/Bellsouth and
refusing to acknowledge there could be an issue elsewhere.
Just my impression.

Good Afternoon All!
I am sooo excited about my progress today I thought I would share. I have been feeling really discouraged lately about my credit repair as I have not been seeing the results that I need. I logged back in after a few month hiatus and read some of the success stories that others are having and decided to take another stab at the paid collections that are being reported. This morning I sent an email to 4 higher-ups at Cox Communications about an old bill of $112.51 that I allowed to hit my reports irresponsibly, (I have done this once before with no response) and I just got a call back from the head of the credit department apologizing for this inconvenience and telling me this is first priority and being handled as we speak. He wished me good luck on my house hunt and gave me a direct email and phone number to himself and his assistant if it is not handled by the end of the week. I am SOOOO excited so I am back on my path!
Thanks for the motivation everyone and good luck!
Congrats, you are giving me hope!
I'll say that the entire Cox Communications family (all its subsidaries) are very very family friendly.

@shoppingsenior Check your PM!
Thank you Jadakyss!! U rock!
Question: I have a paid collection with them, that they had assigned to IC Systems, I paid Cox directly, can they have IC Systems remove it?
congrats! anyway i can get the information from u of the higher ups you had success with please?

You actually turned nine-months-old 18 days ago, but I only am now just getting around to writing your letter. I was going to be so on top of it this month, but the past three weeks evaporated. Poof. Just. Like. That.
You are getting so big! At your nine-month checkup, you weighed just under 20 pounds, and were 30 inches tall. That's the 25th percentile for weight, and 75th–90th for height. You're tall and skinny, just like your daddy. I'm surprised you're not chunkier because you are eating us out of house and home. I looked in the freezer this weekend, and you were down to just a handful of food cubes. (I make all of your food and freeze it in ice cube trays.)
I had a marathon cooking session for you on Sunday, and hope our new stores will last for at least three weeks: 12 pears, six sweet potatoes, five avocados, one pound each of peas, green beans and broccoli, and a giant slow cooker full of chicken and dumplings. You're eating more table food these days. I put the chicken and dumplings through the food processor, and also made a batch of beef stew for you a few weeks ago. Prior to you turning nine months, we were following the four-day wait rule of introducing new foods, looking for allergies, stomach upset, etc. The rule was lifted by your pediatrician this month, and it has been so much more fun to share some of our regular meals with you. It also is much easier to find new foods for you to try.
You love cheese. You really love cheese. This is how I know you are my son. You've had mozzarella and cheddar, and I have to ration it very carefully. Otherwise, you grab it in fistfuls from your tray and gobble it up all at once. We call you our little Cheese Squirrel, because you stash it away in your cheeks and gnaw on it for a disgustingly long time. I had to stick my finger in your mouth and scoop some out the other day, because I was afraid you would choke. Against my better judgment, I shared a Pillsbury biscuit with you this weekend, and you had a complete cow because I wasn't handing over the pieces quickly enough.
Speaking of whining, you're really starting to show a little temper. You do not like to have things taken away — this usually happens because you like to chew on everything. If we say "No," and remove something from your hands, the lip immediately comes out and I'm certain that the slow bursts of your melodramatic cry can be heard by the neighbors. You're extremely loud when you're mad! You also still despise tummy time. You're showing no interest in crawling, and pitch a huge fit every time we place you on your belly. They tell us that you don't usually do this at daycare, but you obviously know that daddy and I will be quicker to pick you up when you meltdown. We've been "torturing" you with this a lot lately, letting you cry longer than we have during the past few months. I know it's important for your development, but I still hate seeing you so upset.
You figured out how to move forward in your walker this past weekend, and immediately went straight for the kitchen cabinets and drawers. When we redirected you so you wouldn't smash your fingers, you then tried to pull the bottom rack out of the dishwasher. Daddy went straight to Lowe's and picked up some childproofing materials. You often buckle your knees when we try to sit you down because you like to stand so much, and you'll walk across the room when we hold your hands. I think you might skip crawling all together and once you figure out how to pull yourself up, will go straight to walking.
This week also marks your move into the older/mobile infant classroom at daycare. I think they gave up on waiting for you to crawl, and just decided to move you anyway, since you were the oldest baby in the younger infants room. You seem perfectly content to sit and play with the other babies moving all around you. I think what finally may motivate your mobility is another child stealing your binky one time too many. You DO NOT like to be without your binky.
You babble nonstop when the pacifier isn't in your mouth. I sometimes take it away for a little while just to hear you talk. I love listening to you and think you're beginning to associate certain sounds with objects. Your binky is your "ba ba" and it's by far your clearest "word." You also say "mama" and "dada," but I'm not quite sure that you're associating those sounds with me and daddy.
You have all four of your bottom teeth and your upper-right lateral incisor. We can see your other three front teeth ready to pop through your gums any day now, and sometimes you wake up screaming in horrible teething pain. For the most part, though, you sleep a solid 12–13 hours a night, and it is awesome. We know how lucky we are that you're such a great sleeper, and we are incredibly thankful.
We had the first snow of the season at our house this month, and also had the chance to spend a snowy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend with our friends, the Cudworths, at their cabin in Ronald, Wash. You seemed to really like the snow at our house when we first took you out, but after it turned into the Storm of the Century and we tried to get you to play in it a few more times, you very clearly let us know that you no longer were interested.
Right now I am spending between two and two-and-a-half hours a day commuting to and from work. That's more than three working months per year wasted in traffic that I could be spending with you. It's awful. Really, really awful. I'm frustrated when I get to work, and I'm frustrated when I come home. I do my best to not think about work and focus solely on you during our very limited time together in the evenings, but my commute is taking a serious toll on my happiness. It's not fair to any of us. Hopefully it won't have to be like this forever.
Daddy and I both had the opportunity to work from home last week due to the massive snowfall, and it was so blissful. We managed to take care of you, get all our work done, and spend extra time together as a family. I'm working hard to figure out a way to make this happen more often, but I unfortunately don't work for the most flexible company. I really hope you're never faced with this type of situation when you're older. The saying that time is "the only thing you can't get back" is so true. I'll do my best to help you understand that and take it to heart.
I love you so much, little Boo. You are an awesome little boy and I'm so glad you're mine.

"I'm a real housewife!" Bethenny Frankel tweeted this morning.
After Britney rocked a white pre-wedding track suit, I think that should have been the cue for the rest of the world to stop. But that's just my opinion.
The Real Housewives of New York City star and finace Jason Hoppy were married last night at the Four Seasons, according to People.
Guests—including Bethenny's castmates Alex McCord and Ramona Singer and Today show co-host Hoda Kotb—dined on fish, lobster ravioli, sirloin steak, and red velvet wedding cake. Frenemy Jill Zarin didn't make the guest list.
The seven-months-pregnant bride wore an Amsale gown, according to E!
Cameras were rolling throughout the event, which was filmed for Bethenny's upcoming spin-off, Bethenny's Getting Married. A friend told People that the night "was full of emotion and laughter."
Today the newlyweds are on their way to their honeymoon in an undisclosed location.
Are you a Real Housewives fan? How 'bout a Bethenny fan? Will you watch her wedding spin-off?

Video: "Funderwear" Making Long Distance Relationships That Much Better
Alright, this is pretty amazing/cool/genius!
And totally makes sense for someone to invent! Durex has invented high tech undies and bras that enables couples to 'touch' each other over the internet.
The men wear boxers and women rock the bra and panties that are lined with a series of mini-vibrators. The BEST part, you use your smartphone app to control it.
So you have FULL control over where you want to touch the person on the opposite end.

"However, we do understand that these are nonetheless serious charges," Halloran said. "It is important to remember that the accused officers will have their day in court since federal grand juries only hear one side of the story."

UC Defeated By No. 18 DePaul, 73-51
Feb. 27, 2012
Final Stats | BIG EAST Championship Bracket
CHICAGO, Ill. - The University of Cincinnati women's basketball team (15-14, 6-10) was defeated by No. 18 DePaul (21-9, 9-7), 73-51, on Monday evening at McGrath-Phillips Arena. Sophomore forward Jeanise Randolph (Calumet City, Ill./Thornton Fractional North) set a season-high with 14 points and paced three scorers in double-figures.
Joining Randolph was Dayeesha Hollins (Cincinnati, Ohio/Winton Woods/Michigan) with 13 points, followed by Bjonee Reaves (San Bernardino, Calif./Cajon) with 12.
The Bearcats struggled to contain DePaul leading scorer Anna Martin, who shot 15-of-19 from the floor en route to 36 points.
Cincinnati started with an 11-4 lead, with four players contributing points to the board, but Jasmine Penny gave DePaul the narrow 14-13 lead and the Blue Demons did not give up the lead. The hosts built the margin up to nine, 29-20, before ending the half with a 29-22 lead.
UC went on a 7-0 in the first two minutes of the second half to knot it at 29, but DePaul regained the lead less than a minute later and steadily built its lead to double-digits, 44-33, with 12:38 on the clock. The Bearcats struggled to get any offense going, while the Blue Demons shot a daunting 70.8 percent (17-24) in the second half - the highest shooting percentage UC has faced all season - to build its advantage to as much as 25.
The Bearcats will travel to Hartford, Conn., for the 2012 BIG EAST Championship on Friday, March 2. UC will be seeded 11 and will face No. 14 seed Marquette on Friday at 8 p.m.

This was posted by a member ''Alduro" on THR - and I think written by him - he has done a few quite inspired yarns!
Thought y'all might find it amusing.
The old Smith & Wesson Model 10 looked over his new batch of recruits, 'so all you maggots want to be duty pistols'!?!? He stops to one side of the long row of various alloy and plastic automatics.
'You will all become duty pistols'? the old Smith shouted 'you will be sweat on, you will be bled on, you will live in a rough holster, you will be dropped, you will be abused, you will be left unclean for weeks at a time after firing, you will be neglected, unloved and uncared for. You will be subjected to all of this and you will be expected to work 100% of the time. You will not fail, you will not falter, and you will serve your owner and be ready at his beck and call.'
The old smith steps over to a new Sig 226 'You, pretty boy,' the Smith began 'you've got a lot of slick ads in the magazines, do you think you're special'?
'No Sir!' The Sig replied keeping his eyes straight forward.
'Do you think you will be loved'!?!? The Smith continued 'Maybe you think you will get engraved'!?!?
'No Sir!' The Sig replied.
The Smith diverted his gave over the whole group 'Now listen up you grab triggered, malformed pieces of alloy and plastic crap, you will be issued to a man who did not pick you, does not like you and will only carry you because he has to. You will be neglected by the very ones you serve and you will be feared by those on the street. You may have lint, dust and at times even coffee spilled upon you. You will be kept in the crappiest holster the department can afford and you will like it. You will be fed the most foul, malfunctioning, crap ammo that this fine nation or subsidiary can produce at the cheapest labor using the cheapest material and you will eat every, single, stinking, round and you will ask for more.'
The Smith eyeballed a new Glock 17, 'you will not rust, you will not falter, you will not ask for much and you will received less than you ask for. DO YOU MAGGOTS UNDERSTAND ME'!?!??
'Yes Sir!!!' The pistols replied.
'You maggots will have the luxury of experiencing first hand what collector's pistols only read about!' The Smith warned 'you will not be pampered and kept in a safe. You will not be named, you will not be wiped down and you will not be lovingly cleaned or shown off. Your best friends will be a disposable can of mace and an overworked and cranky baton.'
The Smith turned his attention towards a Smith & Wesson automatic 'You there, you think you're a Smith, do you think you're like me'!?!?
'No Sir' The Smith Auto replied.
'Dang straight' the old Smith replied 'but you will be, you will be used, you will be abused and you will be sold at a discount or melted down as the thanks for years of faithful service. You will be the stuff of gun-lore and be depicted in magazines next to expensive folders no cop could ever afford. Yet it will not be you, it will be some sexy 1911 that is TRYING to live up to the reputation you will have set forth as duty weapons. Do not be confused, you will do the work and THEY will get the glory.'
The old Smith then stood before all of them. 'Good luck! Dismissed!'

The best part is when they get into my gunsafe. I try to imagine the conversations my guns have.
"I used to ride on a duty belt." says Mr. Sig the old police gun. "I only got cleaned once a year."
"Pfah!" says the M1 Carbine. "I was dropped in the mud... it's a miracle I ever made it back into the tank. I think I was cleaned once."
"Cleaning? What's that?" says the Mosin Nagant.
"You were cleaned three times yesterday!" says Mr. Sig. "Are you senile you old Russian?"
"Well you were cleaned four times last week, ya sissy!" the M1 reminds them.
"Yep. Ain't retirement great? I love this new kid..."

New Market Research Report: Indonesia Tourism Report Q2 2011
Recently published research from Business Monitor International, "Indonesia Tourism Report Q2 2011", is now available at Fast Market Research
Tourist arrivals for 2010 were in line with BMI's forecasts, with Indonesia welcoming just over 7mn tourists over the past year, representing an increase of 9.76% year on year (y-o-y). This strength in visitor arrival numbers underlines our continued bullish stance towards Indonesian tourism for 2011 and beyond. Hotel occupancy rates also rose slightly, to an average of 50.6% for the year as a whole, according to information from the country's Central Statistics Agency (BPS). Tourist expenditure for 2010 stood at an estimated US$7.6bn, which represents an annual increase of 20.7%.
For 2011, we continue to target strong growth in tourist arrival numbers, believing that growth in the order of just less than 9% y-o-y is probable, taking total tourist arrivals for the year to the 7.63mn mark. This target is in line with the government's own aims to attract between 7.3mn and 7.7mn tourists to Indonesia through the year. After two strong years of growth in 2010 and 2011, our core forecast is then for Indonesia to consolidate recent gains with a more measured rate of tourist arrival growth, to reach a total of 8.72mn tourists by end-2015.
Garuda IPO disappoints
The long-awaited IPO of Indonesian flag carrier Garuda Indonesia has proved something of a disappointment. Although the initial offering raised US$532mn, the shares fell by 17% on their first day of trading on the Jakarta Stock Exchange in February 2011, underlining fears that the government had valued the shares too highly. Only half of the offer was taken up by investors, leaving the underwriters to take up a significant amount of the shares for sale. Following pressure from the government, an offer price of IDR750 per share (at the higher end of an initial range of IDR560-850 set by underwriters)
However, despite the poor reception given to the Garuda IPO, low-cost carrier Air Asia Indonesia (AAI) has said that it still plans to sell a 20% stake later in 2011. Company CEO Dharmadi says that the airline still plans to raise US$150-200mn via an IPO on the JKSE during the fourth quarter. The proceeds of the IPO will be used to buy new planes and fund growth, according to the company. AAI has a stated aim of increasing its fleet size to 30 (from 20) by 2015. AAI is arguably in better financial shape than Garuda, with the low-cost airline posting a 37% increase in revenues during 2010, to IDR2.76trn, with net profit up by 350%, at IDR474bn.
Bullish Outlook For Hotel Industry
For 2011-12, there are an expected 13 new hotel openings scheduled for Jakarta, according to the local hotel and restaurant industry association (PHRI), with a further six to be built in Surabaya. The PHRI has also stated that local players Santika and Sahid are to build some 40 new hotels across the archipelago over the coming two years, with the industry witnessing strong interest from foreign investors. In this context, there is currently a great deal of construction activity in the high-end hotel sector on the island of Bali, which is due to host the 2013 APEC summit. To prepare for the arrival of high-ranking dignitaries to the island, there are several new high-end hotels scheduled for opening in 2011, including Starwood Hotels' W Retreat & Spa Bali at Seminyak and Pullman Hotels' Bali Legian Nirwana, which have both now opened. Other high-end hotel chains set to open new properties in Bali over the 2011-13 period include Banyan Tree, InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), Ritz Carlton and Kempinski. The arrival of additional high-end properties should do much to boost average room revenues for the country.
Clarification of BMI methodology on hotel industry
In response to recent client feedback, BMI would like to elaborate on the methodology behind how we calculate the number of hotel rooms in Indonesia. Unlike other research houses, which tend to concentrate solely on classified rooms, we have chosen to include both classified and non-classified hotel rooms when preparing our forecasts out to 2015. These figures are obtained from Indonesia's Central Statistics Agency. We feel that including both the officially and non-officially registered tally of hotel rooms across the archipelago provides a greater understanding of the significant potential offered by the Indonesian hotel industry at the current time. Moreover, we believe that, as the industry develops, several of the nonclassified hotels will choose to join official hotel bodies and become part of classified datasets in the future.

A million Mexican cattle a year scramble into the United States through concrete vats placed on the Mexican side of major border crossings.
The vats—more like concrete chutes—each hold 5,000 gallons of tick-killing coumaphos and water. The cattle jump into dip that is over their heads and then swim a little before the ramp bottom rises enough to allow them to walk out the other end.
The dip in each vat has to be changed at least every 2 years and in many cases more often. So what do you do with 100,000 gallons of used pesticide dip generated every year?
Jeffrey S. Karns, an ARS microbiologist in Beltsville, Maryland, found that the coumaphos insecticide in waste dip can be converted to carbon dioxide and water, with a little encouragement to some microbes that live in the dip.
By adding iron and magnesium salts and other nutrients to function like vitamins for these microbes and by carefully adjusting the dip's acidity and oxygen content, Karns has gotten the microbes to oxidize unwanted components in just a week or two.
The technique works just as well on soil contaminated by dip disposal, says Karns.
Karns works on the project with ARS microbiologists Walter W. Mulbry and Daniel R. Shelton, who are also at Beltsville.
So why is all this dipping being done? In addition to the tick-prevention measures at the border, American ranchers use 42 vats scattered along the U.S. side of the border to treat cattle whenever a tick outbreak occurs. These outbreaks are often due to infested deer or cows wading across the Rio Grande.
Since 1935, USDA tick eradication program officials have been supervising the operation of vats on both sides of the Texas-Mexico border in a 500-mile-long strip of land along it. This quarantine zone is the only part of the United States where cattle fever ticks are found.
It is also a zone of constant vigilance: Cattle are not allowed to leave without treatment. That keeps ticks from entering the United States from Mexico, where the tick remains prevalent—despite some 3,000 vats for Mexican ranchers' use.
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service oversees the tick eradication program, in cooperation with the state of Texas. Entomologists Elmer H. Ahrens and Ronald B. Davey, who are at the ARS Cattle Fever Tick Research Laboratory in Mission, Texas, send samples from the vats to Beltsville for analysis.
The dipping is necessary to prevent the reintroduction of cattle fever to the United States. Cattle fever once nearly destroyed the southern cattle industry because few northerners wanted to risk buying tick-infested cattle. It cost the cattle industry over $1 billion a year in losses and reduced production before the tick's eradication outside of the quarantine zone, in 1943. -- By Don Comis, ARS.

13 states raise minimum wages
Idaho isn't one of them
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Several western states have decided to raise the minimum wage, but many are worried that Idaho isn't one of them. With the need for seasonal help, minimum wage jobs are plentiful, but when it comes down to the facts, economist Will Jensen said the quality beats quantity.
"It's not possible to support a family on $7.25," he said.
The reality of minimum wage labor is why many people have petitioned to raise it in the state of Idaho. If the state doesn't, many are worried that good talent could go somewhere else.
"You might see some of those workers commuting across state lines to jobs that may offer a higher pay," said Jensen.
With little concern from the state in an upcoming legislative session, many wonder if the issue will be addressed. In an interview with Idaho state Senate President Pro Tempore Bill Hill, he explained why he doesn't predict this will be a topic in 2014's session.
"I don't think it would go anywhere at this time. The economy is still pretty fragile, and we're trying to create a business-friendly environment," he said.
This environment would attract more businesses to provide more jobs, which could be a better alternative when people realize that only 4 percent of employed Idahoans work in minimum-waged jobs. But many wonder what would happen if that number rises in the next few years?
"You've got a couple of alternatives. The legislator could raise the minimum wage or you could also let the free market take control of that. If employers are having a hard time hiring someone who has the qualifications they need, they're going to have to raise that wage themselves without action from the government," said Hill.

The End of Oil
Where To Turn When Cheap Oil Runs Out
Baltimore, MD—Last week we explored global peak oil. We concluded that oil prices are going to skyrocket in just a few short years. This week I'd like to examine the state of peak oil in the United States. And, more importantly, figure out just how we're going to avoid the crash.
The death of cheap oil is going to become as widely known this year as global warming. In fact, people will be more concerned about our energy crisis than the weather.
I know last week I told you to forget about depletion, but now it is time to consider its consequences.
Oil depletion results from extracting and consuming oil faster than it can be replaced. Oil wells typically experience a dramatic decline, as seen here. Initially, wells begin producing at a very high rate. Less pressure is needed to pump the crude out of the ground.
But as the oil well ages, the pressure decreases rapidly and the production rate plummets.
Granted, technological advancements have lengthened the life of oil wells. Various techniques have been implemented, such as injecting water to sustain pressure.
But the oil content decreases as more water is used.
U.S. oil production is feeling the effects of the Hubbert Curve. Production peaked in the 1970s and has been in serious decline ever since.
I can hear the skeptics scoffing at the idea. They tout the latest production techniques or flaunt the newest discoveries.
I scoff right back . . . then show them the numbers.
Take a look at the U.S. oil field production over time:
Two things come to mind as I look at this data. First off, U.S. oil fields peaked in 1970 at 9,637 MMbbls/d. Secondly (and perhaps more importantly), we produced practically the same amount of oil in 2005 as we did in 1947!
In other words, our oil production has regressed almost sixty years!
Time for the good news?
Not even close.
The Future Crisis
In the 1940s, the U.S. accounted for over half the world's oil production. Today, it's down to about 8%.
In 2005, we imported over 13 million barrels of oil every day to meet our 20-million-barrel-a-day addiction.
What can the U.S. do in order to raise production? The natural course of action is to increase the number of oil wells, right?
Try again.
Here's a look at the number of oil wells over the last sixty years:
Doesn't paint a promising picture for U.S. oil production, does it?
The question now is where we'll go from here. Bush has already realized that our oil dependence is way out of control. But when he released his plan to drastically reduce oil imports from the Middle East, he didn't exactly tell us the next step.
Renewable energy offers an attractive way to meet future demand. The problem I find, however, is that these technologies are nowhere near to meeting our demand for another decade or two . . . or even longer.
We certainly can't look to Mexico for help. Their massive Cantarell field has just gone into depletion. The announcement will have Mexico scrambling to avoid its own catastrophe.
I think the U.S. is going to look north to our Canadian neighbors. This Thursday, I'll show you one way investors are going to make a killing on Canada's vast resources.
So stay tuned.
Until next time,
Keith Kohl

What is all this "Windows logo testing" stuff about? Please explain!
Maybe you've already run into this and if you haven't, you probably will sometime in the future. Either way, when it happens, you will get a message that says something like "Software has not passed Windows logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows. Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operating of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the software vendor for software that has passed Windows logo testing."
Sounds scary, huh? Well, it's not as bad as it seems. All this message means is that Microsoft wasn't able to complete their testing on that particular item. It usually only has to do with the drivers for those products as well. So, in reality, the meat and potatoes of the product did finish and pass the testing, but for some reason, that particular set of drivers wasn't able to be tested in a decent amount of time. See, it's not so bad!
So, what should you do when you receive this message? You can simply just continue on with the installation process. You will get a choice to stop or continue, so just click on Continue Anyway to finish the install just like you normally would. You won't encounter any abnormal problems. If you run into any trouble, it would be something that would normally happen with the item and it won't be just because of the logo testing error message you received.
Now, if you are still worried about this, you can certainly stop the installation and return the item you purchased. You can always do what you want. I know that even some of WorldStart's products contain this message. We have tested all of our items and we have continued on with the installation after the logo testing error occurs. We haven't had any problems thus far, so there really isn't anything for you to worry about. Just go on with the install and enjoy it!
If you do continue the process and you, for some off reason, do run into problems, make sure to contact the manufacturer of the product. They will be able to fix it all up for you. Cool, huh?!

Daily aspirin not recommended for diabetics younger than 50
■ Nevertheless, physicians should continue suggesting aspirin for heart attack and stroke survivors regardless of patient age, three medical organizations say.
Diabetics should begin taking daily aspirin later in life than originally recommended to prevent a first myocardial infarction or a stroke, according to three organizations.
The American College of Cardiology Foundation, American Diabetes Assn. and American Heart Assn. recommend that physicians prescribe low-dose aspirin therapy (75 mg/day to 162 mg/day) to diabetic men older than 50 and diabetic women older than 60 who are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Risk factors include a family history of the disease, smoking, hypertension, albuminuria and dyslipidemia.
The guidelines were published online in May in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Diabetes Care, and Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Assn. (link).
The revisions are a shift from a recommendation issued in 2007 by the ADA and AHA that diabetics older than 40 take low-dose aspirin.
The new guidelines also differ from those issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force in March 2009 that encouraged aspirin use in all men age 45 to 79 and in all women age 55 to 79 (link). The Food and Drug Administration has not approved daily aspirin for the prevention of heart disease due, in part, to risks of gastrointestinal and intracranial bleeding.
But physicians should continue recommending that heart attack and stroke survivors take aspirin every day, regardless of their age, according to the ACC Foundation, ADA and AHA. Doctors also should consider ending daily aspirin treatment for diabetics who do not meet the organizations' new guidelines, primarily men who are younger than 50 and women younger than 60, said Craig Williams, PharmD, who co-authored the guidelines.
"Doctors can tell patients, 'We now think you don't benefit from daily aspirin. We know there's a small risk'�" of bleeding, said Williams, associate professor in the College of Pharmacy at Oregon Health & Science University/Oregon State University.
In 2009, a panel of experts selected by the ADA, AHA and ACC Foundation reviewed nine trials on the preventive effect of aspirin on cardiovascular events. The studies' findings were used to create the new guidelines.
Overall, the results suggest that aspirin reduces the risk of cardiovascular events by about 10%, Williams said. Among younger diabetics, who have less chance of heart disease, the risks outweighed the drug's potential benefits, he said.
In 2007, more than 23 million Americans -- 7.8% of the population -- had diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2004, coronary heart disease was listed on 68% of death certificates for diabetics age 65 and older. The same year, stroke was noted on 16% of diabetics' death certificates.

Canal Days to offer family fun
SALTSBURG — Saltsburg is gearing up for the 32nd annual Canal Days Festival with its offering of food, music and fun for the whole family.
"Everything is pretty much set to go. I guess it would have to be since it's next weekend," laughed Tracey Ramsden, Saltsburg Canal Days treasurer.
Canal Days begins Friday from 5 to 10 p.m., and continues from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Attendees can look forward to a variety of entertainment, from country, rock and polka music to clowns and face-painting for kids.
Canal Days staple DJ Jammin' Jim returns to entertain the crowd, and people can look forward to the annual parade and fireworks show as well.
In honor of Saltsburg's 175th anniversary, the fireworks show Saturday at 10 p.m. has been extended to 30 minutes from its usual 20 minutes, according to Ramsden. She also said she has high hopes for the parade.
"We actually have a couple of the folks from the volunteer fire department working on the parade for us," she said. "And from what I understand, they're trying to make it larger than it has been in the past. They've had a pretty good response with that."
The parade at noon on Saturday will feature the Clymer Firettes drill team, the Saltsburg High School band, a "handful" of fire departments from around the area, the sheriff's department, the Pennsylvania State Police and others, according to parade organizer Justin Johnson.
Ramsden also hopes attendance is better than last year, which unfortunately was not as dry as she would have wished.
"I'm hoping (attendance) is a little better than last year. One of the days got rained out, so attendance was a little low because one day it stormed really badly," she said. "But according to the extended forecast, it's supposed to be in the mid-70s next weekend, so that's perfect temperature."
All weekend attendees will be able to take Stone House Museum tours and receive a commemorative 175th anniversary pin. Other daily activities include the Herb Society garden sale, "Bobber" the Safety Dog from Loyalhanna Dam, Civil War re-enactors and mechanical bull riding.
Entertainment for children include Spangles the clown, free face-painting by Kimba and an under-18 karaoke contest on Saturday. Registration must be done at the information booth by 2 p.m.
An adult karaoke contest is also slated for Saturday. Registration must be done at the information booth by 5 p.m.
Musical entertainment includes singer Kevin Dale and Old 97, a Johnny Cash tribute band on Friday; The Drums of the Native Sisters, the Joe Patrick Band and The Fabulous Gunslingers on Saturday; and the Brenda Mischler Gospel Group, a church choir "sing off" competition, an Elvis impersonator and polka music by Ray Skovenski on Sunday.
Visitors can park downtown wherever spots are available and at the high school throughout the weekend festival. Free shuttle rides will be offered Saturday from 1 to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m. The shuttle loop stops at Saltsburg High School, corner of Cathedral and Washington Streets, Salt Center, Saltsburg Playground, and the corner of Salt and Point Streets.
Canal Days is funded by fundraising as well as vendor fees and local donations. More than 20 businesses donated to this year's event
"We're hoping we have the good turnout, and people come out to celebrate Saltsburg's 175th year," Ramsden said.

Select the Clone Stamp tool from the tool palette. When you select it, you'll see that at the top of the screen is a box with a drop-down arrow, labelled Brush Presets. Click on this, and select a soft round brush 21 pixels in diameter. This should be ideal for our portrait shot, though if your pictures are of a different size you may need a smaller or larger brush.
Pick an area adjacent to the skin blemish that you wish to remove. It needs to be a good match for the skin tone around the blemish, because we're going to use a sample of this area to cover up the blemish.
Hold down the 'Alt' key on your keyboard and you'll see the cursor change to a round cross-hair. Click this cross-hair on the point you want to start sampling. In some image editing programs, including Paint Shop Pro, you right-click to select the sample point.
Using short, smooth strokes with your mouse or graphics pen, paint over the blemish you want to hide. You'll see that there is a cross that follows the path of the brush cursor, indicating the place from which the sample is being taken. Keep an eye on this, because if it passes over any other marks, these will be copied too. You may need to use several sample points to cover up a larger blemish, but with practice you can achieve apparent miracles with this technique.
Remember that you can drag the image around on the screen at any time by holding down the space bar and left-clicking the mouse.
Photoshop Elements has another tool for removing skin blemishes, which while not as precise as the Clone Stamp, is certainly quicker and easier to use. It's called the Healing Brush, and you'll find it on Photoshop 7, CS1 and CS2, as well as Elements from version 3.0 onwards. Paint Shop Pro X and XI have tools called the Scratch Remover and Makeover Tool, which operate in much the same way.
The Healing Brush is best for small blemishes such as spots or small scars. To use it, Alt-click anywhere on the image that has skin texture, and then simply click over the blemish you wish to remove. We'll use the same 21-pixel soft brush as before. Go over each blemish in turn. If you're not satisfied with the result, remember that you can undo each step by using Ctrl-Z. Photoshop Elements 5.0 supports multiple undoes, as do Paint Shop Pro and most other recent editing programs.

Testing ccv
1 Attachment(s)
I'm attempting to stay ahead of possible maintenance issues. Just checked crankcase pressure from both the dip stick and the oil fill. Both readings about -6"wc with a warm engine. Look good or what should they be? Should this be done with a cold engine?
- How to test the crankcase ventilation (aka CCV, CVV, PCV, CPV, & OSV) pressure regulating valve system (1)
Should be between -3 to -5" WC, IIRC.
So he's good @ -6. Nice gadget.
See this thread and this post (#23) for CCV operation & testing on a warm engine.
While your pressure is high, you do not have a problem (YET!).
My CCV system was original, at least I'm 99.99% sure it was. 106k, FL car. No gunk, no mayo. Nothing was cracked or plugged. It was actually still working. But I can really tell the new CCV system sucks alot harder when you put your hand on the oil filler cap opening. Wish I had a tool to measure the befor and after. I guess a old fashion Vac gauge would of worked.... Doh!
Thanks your all very helpful.:)
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys. Look like my CCV was bad. I just replaced and had a big rip in the diaphragm.
Tested the new one with a manometer and has reading moving around from 3 to 6" WC. Easy job took less than 2hours. I highly recommend the use of a manometer to test.
Thank you very much for being a good netizen, by stating the original values, how and where you tested the inches of vacuum water column, and for the update as to the problem, all with an excellent close-up picture of the results.
Kudos to you - you're obviously intelligent, and caring of others.
So that the NEXT person easily finds this information, I usually post to the one 'canonical' thread on the topic, but I think we actually have two good threads for testing the CCV:
> E39 (1997 - 2003) > Cute little trick to diagnose blocked CCV system...
> E39 (1997 - 2003) > How to test the BMW E39 pressure-controlled crankcase ventilation system (CCV)?
So I posted your results to both. That way, others are sure to find it in the future, long after we're gone.
EDIT: BTW, if someone could EXPLAIN why the tear in the CCV of this thread resulted in greater vacuum, I'd be glad to annotate a separate diagram with the information.
Here's what we currently have for annotations - but if you can give me a paragraph which explains how a tear caused more vacuum, I will create a new one.

My wife, 13 year old daughter, and I will be in Singapore for four days in early fall, and I'm trying to choose between the following three hotels:
Berjaya Singapore Hotel, 83 Duxton Road, Singapore 089540
Amara Singapore, 165 Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 088539
InterContinental Singapore, 80 Middle Rd, Singapore 188966
I'm mostly concerned about location rather than star rating, I want the hotel to be within walking distance to many interesting places, and have something interesting to do at night in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
I would greatly appreciate any recommendations.
Thank you.

I know I've been on Duxton Road, but can't place it in my mind. But, if I were to choose, I'd choose the Amara. I have been there quite a bit as I eat at the Thai restaurant inside of that hotel. It's my favorite Thai restaurant in Singapore. Plus, I like the area in that the hotel is right next to the MRT station, but it's not in the heart of all of the busy-ness as are the hotels on Orchard Road. Next to the hotel, there's a little pathway and parklike/grassed area that leads to the MRT station. There are also a variety of restaurants within the Amara hotel.
I haven't stayed at the Amara as I stay, quite a bit, at the YMCA International House Hotel at 1, Orchard Road, and then I take the MRT over to the Amara to eat.
Another really good hotel is the Fairmont. I stay there sometimes depending on the budget. LOL! The Fairmont is great and in the heart of things. I've also stayed at other hotels in Singapore.
Happy Travels!

I don't know those three hotels specifically but every Berjaya I've been to has been second/third rate and often close to a dump. Seems like their MO is to take older, worn properties and try to milk them for the last drop.
Intercontinentals are generally cold, expensive business-y places which we sometimes enjoy at the end of trips for a few days (oiled always by at least one free night and suite upgrades).
If I had to pick cold, it would be the Amara of these three. But I also think you can look further using the above suggestions and my personal fave, the Pan Pacific (although it's been a number of years since I was there so take this rec with but several grains of salt).

NoFly is correct that the IC in Singapore feels cold. The location is great, though. The Fairmont, mentioned above by Guenmai has a fabulous location - lots nearby to walk to and it's above an MRT station.
Report Abuse
Hi folks
Thanks for reinforcing our decision to stay at the Fairmont.
We will be going to Singapore shortly and am looking forward to our trip. We booked the Fairmont because of its location and reviews on Trip Advisor.
Report Abuse
alan43-You should be very satisfied with the Fairmont. I remember the beds there being so comfortable. I didn't think that I could get such a comfortable bed outside of Four Seasons hotels. Smiles.
Remember that the Fairmont is attached to Raffles the Plaza Mall and on the lower level of that mall are lots of eateries and a supermarket. Then underneath that whole structure is an underground shopping center with more eateries and shops. It's accessed by exiting the mall and taking an escalator down. I walked to Esplande Concert Hall by using that underground tunnel-like shopping center, making it a lot cooler walk.
Happy Travels!
Report Abuse
Could you tell the exact location. If you are searching around MRT station then choose the Intercontinental hotel. Read this property reviews from Tripadvisor site.
Report Abuse
Stay in the Intercontinental at Bugis Junction. You can walk to the historic/civic area, financial district, even Marina Bay area or take the train which is under the hotel shopping complex there. You are near little India and Arab street is nearby as well. Amara and Berjaya are more for business people.
Report Abuse
I don't think there is much competition here. For me personally, the InterContinental wins hands down. I used to be fond of the Berjaya once, but not anymore.

About the same I would guess. Both are non-expanding .45 caliber.

About the same I would guess. Both are non-expanding .45 caliber.
I would think that the FP would do a bit more damage but probably not enough to concern yourself about. Compare it to pushing a needle into your finger as opposed to pushing a paper clip into your finger. The more streamlined profile of the needle pushes the tissue aside whereas the paper clip has to tear the tissue. Just like shooting a paper target. The FP bullets punch out a clean hole where the RN bullets push the paper aside and then the hole tries to close up. In either case, as coffeecup said, you're only going to end up with a 45 cal hole as neither is going to expand much. With the power of a 45, I really can't think of any good reason not to use a quality HP and get some bullet expansion.

Thanks for the replies. I use HPs in my 1911. I was just wondering because I have a friend that says he hunts with the FP, and says it does all this damage.

+1 on what Hoss said.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Isn't a .45 BIG ENOUGH? There are many reasons for a hollow point & expansion, the .45 is NOT one of them!
Never start a fight, but always finish one.
I wouldn't want to get shot with any of them...
this article. As far as I'm concerned, regardless of what gun and what caliber I may be carrying at the time I want to make the biggest hole with the most tissue damage possible.

Draw fast, shoot slow.
"To believe that social reforms can eradicate evil altogether is to forget that evil is a protean creature, forever assuming a new shape when deprived of an old one." - SAT
Never argue with an idiot - they'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
I guess our game biologists didn't read the report that 80% of hits with HP bullets are non lethal. Try as I might, I can't remember a single critter I've shot with a HP that ever required a second shot as long as the first one is in the right place. A leg hit isn't going to kill a critter, FMJ or HP. I'd equate using a FMJ to hunt with to bowhunting using target points instead of broadheads. For deer in Kansas, I really don't have to worry about the 45 because as you can see in the regs quoted above, the 45 ACP doesn't meet the minimum requirement for a legal deer cartridge. While I've known several guys who handgun hunted deer with a .357, my personal minimum is 44 mag. I don't like wounding animals and I hate having to blood trail them and maybe lose them but any caliber I hunt with is going to have an expanding bullet in it just like my self-defense carry guns.Kansas Legal Firearms for Deer:
FIREARM: Centerfire rifles and handguns that are not fully automatic and that fire a bullet larger than .23 inches in diameter and that use a cartridge case that is 1.280 inches or more in length, while using only hard-cast solid lead, soft point, hollow point, or other expanding bullets;

Dont understand why you would shoot something with a FMJ when HP exists....
The single biggest factor in killing something with pistols (it is different with rifles) is size of the permanent wound channel. HP's expand = bigger permanent wound channel. FMJ's go straight through = smaller wound channel. The argument that having an exit hole with FMJ makes them bleed out faster is laughably niave. You only see more blood. The real bleeding associated with HP's is internal.
round nose and flat nose? same difference - I like the example of a pin and a paper clip.
wanna kill something? use HP.

I've seen this debated everywhere. I've seen all kinds of YouTube vids showing hollow points doing damage to water jugs, water jugs stuffed with paper, water jugs wearing 4 layers of denim, and ballistic gelatin. When I see what a hollow point bullet looks like after it has penetrated an expensive leather motorcycle jacket, a leather "plate" about the thickness of an average mans' belt, 4 layers of denim, and then something that approximated a sternum before making a good penetration into some ballistic gelatin, I'll use that bullet. But until then, i'm going to continue to use FMJ flat points. The type that handgun hunters use. HP's are for police department lawyers who are more concerned with pubic perceptions than officer's lives. Don't reply to me unless you've seen a few autopsies.
After many years of consideration, I must regretfully conclude that diversity is our enemy.
FP bullets drive more square to the target than the RN bullets. RN bullets are more prone to stray off course than FP bullets. Neither is more effective terminally than the other.

CoolHunting.com reports on a new book coming out that we can all enjoy.
[box] Dan Becker and Lance Wilson—two San Francisco, CA-based designers— discovered a real gem when they stumbled upon Becker's stepdad John Russo's extensive beer can collection tucked away in his Midwest basement. Hoarding cans since 1975, the collection spans all shapes, styles and sizes of brews from around the world, which thankfully the duo decided to photograph and document in a book that they aptly titled "Beer."[/box]
