Arsène Wenger is confident of positive news as he awaits results of Kieran Gibbs' scan on his injured knee.
The full back limped out of Wednesday's 4-0 Carling Cup win over Newcastle after just 18 minutes and had the damage to his ligaments assessed by the Club's doctors on Friday morning.
His manager expects the results to be good, though Wenger admitted it is tough to predict how long the 21-year-old will be out."He has a scan today - we do not expect any further damage," he said. "It will be a question of weeks - is it two or is it four?
"It is difficult to know when it's a medial knee ligament. Gibbs is one of the players I still do not have integrated in my mind that he is out [of the West Ham game] but he is unfortunately."
Ahead of the Premier League game on Saturday the Frenchman said Gibbs is his only fresh concern but admitted there will be no players returning from injury. He did however have positive news on the progress of Aaron Ramsey and Robin van Persie.
"We have available the players who played at Newcastle and those who were rested after playing at Manchester City. We don't have any other players coming back.
"That means Almunia, Van Persie and Vermaelen are still out. Diaby is still out of course.
"Ramsey is in full training at the end of next week and Van Persie as well. Almunia is more difficult to know - one or two weeks maximum."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Welcome Back From President McMenamin
Dr. Margaret McMenamin, President
Thursday, January 19, 2012
Dear Union Students and Colleagues:
Welcome back for what promises to be an inspiring and successful Spring semester at Union County College.
Last Spring, Union launched "Operation Graduation," a College-wide commitment to encourage students on the threshold of an associate degree to make every effort to achieve this goal. Through the efforts of counselors, faculty, staff, the Office of College Life, and the Student Government Association, more students than ever in Union's history graduated in 2011. We were pleased to have 1,065 graduates earning a place in our May commencement ceremonies.
This year we're raising the bar even higher. Consistent with President Obama's challenge to boost student completion among colleges and universities throughout the nation, Union intends to meet or exceed the President's expectations for graduation rates for community college students.
Last Fall, our honor society students in Phi Theta Kappa got the process started by sponsoring a "Commit to Complete" event that attracted hundreds of students who made a pledge to graduate. As an emblem of this commitment, a banner with these student signatures continues to hang in the Richel Commons on the Cranford Campus.
We begin the Spring semester with our second annual "Operation Graduation" campaign. Our goal is to once again encourage students on the threshold of graduation to complete their associate degree or certificate in time for Spring commencement.
New Jersey's Lampitt Bill gives students a strong financial incentive to complete an associate of arts or science. With the degree in hand, these students are guaranteed to be able to transfer into any New Jersey public university as a junior and have all of their program credits transfer over. Without the degree, many of these students' community college credits may be lost when students attempt to transfer.
Student Affairs Vice President Dr. Ralph Ford, College Life Dean Tammy Smith, Counseling Director Heather Keith, student leaders in the SGA, and our faculty will play key roles to lead the campaign this semester.
Union has a number of other initiatives in place to support student success. During the Spring Orientation Program and the Spring ESL Orientation Program, we once again encouraged our new students to sign a "pledge to graduate" banner. As they did last semester, Phi Theta Kappa will have host "Commit to Complete" events at the Cranford and Elizabeth campuses.
Our student-services staff will identify students who applied to graduate but may have transferred elsewhere prior to graduation. The staff will contact these students and explain the value of adding a Union County College degree to their credentials.
One of the more prominent initiatives taking place at the start of the Spring semester is the opening of a Mathematics Lab on the first floor of the MacKay Library, in close proximity to our Academic Learning Center. The new Lab will complement the ALC by featuring group tutoring for students working to succeed in all levels of math classes.
This May, I am looking forward to shaking more hands of graduates than ever in the 79-year history of Union County College.
Have a joyous and prosperous Spring semester. Thank you for choosing Union County College.
Dr. Margaret M. McMenamin

Raising kids is stressful when children are young, and again when they go through the teen years. But by their early 20s, parents should be able to take a deep breath and congratulate themselves on a job well done. Ideally by this time, your children have embarked on a career path and are ready to stand on their own as full-fledged adults.
However, the reality is that in many families, it's not quite so simple. These so-called "emerging adult" years are a time of heightened risk in a variety of ways. Consider: Substance use and abuse peaks at age 21 to 22, including binge drinking, marijuana use and other drug use; serious mental health disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder typically appear for the first time in the late teens or early twenties; a host of other mental health disorders increase sharply from adolescence to emerging adulthood, most notably major depression and anxiety disorders; eating disorders are highest among young women in their 20s.

Washington Post Staffers Criticize Double Standard On Raises
Blog ››› ››› JOE STRUPP
Several Washington Post staffers, including a well-respected Pulitzer Prize-winner, are speaking out in support of a union request for the same 16.4% raise that Publisher Katharine Weymouth recently received.
Media Matters reported Friday that the Washington-Baltimore Newspaper Guild, which represents more than 900 Post staffers, requested the salary hike last week.
Post officials responded to the guild's request with a statement that avoided discussion of salary, but noted that the paper's circulation and print advertising revenue had fallen throughout Weymouth's tenure that began in 2008.
"Whatever the merits of Katharine's raise, people in the newsroom are working harder than ever before to make sure the Post survives," said Dana Priest, a two-time Pulitzer winner who has spent 23 years at the paper. "It is uncomfortable for people to read about [Weymouth's raise] because they have not been getting raises."
Guild leaders confirmed that many Guild members have gone up to three years without raises. Post officials declined to comment on staff pay, offering only a copy of the bulletin they issued last week, which stated:
While we know many Guild-covered employees are interested in the parties' wage proposals, we told the Guild that The Post was not prepared to make a wage proposal during the opening bargaining session, but would do so as negotiations progress.
We explained to the Guild that we need time to analyze the Guild's proposals in light of the business challenges facing the paper, to consider how realistically the Guild responds to The Post's key proposals, and to see what type of progress we can make on other economic and non-economic items before putting a wage proposal on the table.
We certainly have work to do in order to reach a new agreement. Today the Guild made many economic proposals that are unrealistic in today's business climate.
Fred Kunkle, an 11-year staff writer and co-chair of the Post Guild local, said the union understands the paper's financial problems. But he said it does not accept such an imbalance in salary increases.
"It is obviously unfair," he said of Weymouth's raise. "We appreciate very much that the Post is facing a difficult economic climate. But why should everybody in the rank-and-file, everyone in the newsroom, suffer for it and bear all of the hardship for it? We are willing to work with management and find a way to move the newspaper into the 21st Century. It can't be by us alone giving all of the sacrifices."
Meanwhile, several Post staffers objected to the raise for Weymouth, who is the niece of Washington Post Company chairman Donald Graham and the granddaughter of former Post publisher and chairman Katharine Graham. Most requested anonymity, fearing reprisals from management.
"Obviously, we'd like the same raise. It doesn't look good when she gets one," said one veteran newsroom staffer. "We understand there are all these financial problems. It doesn't look good, it looks bad. It makes you wonder, it is not something you'd expect her uncle to do."
Another Post newsroom staffer said Weymouth deserves credit for stemming losses, but said the paper has taken a hit in other ways under her.
"On the one hand, the paper went from losing tons of millions of dollars to making a small profit last year. And in any business, you reward a publisher for that," the staffer, who requested anonymity, said. "On the other hand, they did it by shrinking the staff, shrinking the news hole, closing bureaus and diminishing the journalism. There is a lot of unhappiness about that.
"The other negative side about this is there is just a feeling that the commitment to transparent, ideal-driven management has been lessened under her. That is what really bothers a lot of people. The commitment to good communication in the newsroom, loyalty to the staff, commitment to great journalism has eroded a bit."
One reporter said that asking for the same raise as the publisher is a matter of fairness.
"It is more than fair. I think we should be compensated in the same manner she was," the reporter said. "Especially when 60% of folks around here haven't received raises since 2008. It is a morale issue here and as a leader of this paper it sets a bad example to take that kind of raise. If that is the example, everyone else should be compensated the same."
Added another long-time Post writer:
"The optics aren't good in terms of taking a large increase at a time when a lot is being requested of employees, working longer hours and no prospects of getting more [money]. There has been a lot of heartache about management style, there has been a corporatization of the place."

Naomi Campbell Soaks up the Sun for New Year's
Spending a little time with the sun and wind at her back, Naomi Campbell spend New Year's Day (January 1) on a beach in Malindi, Kenya.
Like a true cowgirl, the British babe wore a stingy hot pink bikini, complete with a pair of shades and a dark brown fedora.
The 43-year-old supermodel wrote a post on Twitter for the New Year that said, "Happy New Year to all my fans and supporters wishing a great and prosperous 2014."
She continued, writing, "#omiquotes Don't let people pull you into their storms. Pull them into your peace."

I never added supers to my hive this year, to ensure they have a good supply for the winter.
If it were more cold here, would the risk of leaving the feeder on be one of crystallization?
Finsky,I was under the impression the first deep hive body was mainly for brood, as the second was primarily for the bees' food storage. The supers cannot be so if one extracts honey at the end of the season, right?. Please clarify for me the "basic idea of beekeeping."
Finsky, you know I still find your honey yields beyond amazing. It is quite incredible. Your statement below was something that I was not even aware of:Are you saying that there is an empty box for nectar ripening BELOW the brood boxes? If this is what you meant, how do you keep the queen from laying down in the nectar ripening box? If this is what you meant, would not the bees have to carry the ripened nectar up through the brood boxes to the honey supers above??? Great day. Cindi
What said makes good sense for sure. BUT, 10 August in my area is far too soon to take ALL the honey off and prepare for winter.
Cindi,I think he meant that 6 boxes of bees condense down to 1-2 boxes.
Finsky,You write of forcing the hive down into one or 2 boxes.What do you do with unripe, half filled supers at that time? I usually have 1 half filled super per hive that I don't know what to do with at that time.
>If you follow those practices you can get 200-300 lbs of honey per hive per year.Sometimes...
So, basically, I should have provided more room through supers for honey to prevent a standstill in production? Are they just plain full? What can I do now, at the beginning of winter to help?
A hive is capable of bringing in 10 to 15 kg of honey a day
I had one yard, (12 hives) on strawberry farm in 1986 and I took 204 kg average per hive..!
I even think (??? not sure), but strawberries are self-pollinating and don't actually require insects to spread the nectar.
about Blueberries. I know all about them.
Natural billberry are really abundant but in blooming time hives are so weak that they are not able to forage surplus. I suppose too that water content of bilberry nectar is very high.Last summer frost burned all billberry flowers but garden bluberries had no violation. Blueberry blooms about a month later than billberry.
Maybe could be imported to Canada? LOL.

The Taliban has sent a warning to the "Canadian people" saying it will kill Canadians unless they immediately leave Afghanistan. The "open letter" addressed to the "Canadian people" came just days after a Taliban ambush killed two Canadians, Shairly Case and Jaqueline Kirk in Logar province who were working for the International Rescue Committee. "Events such as Logar will happen again, because occupied Afghanistan looks at all actors that are established din the interest of americans with an eye of hostility. You have to convince your government to put an end to the occupation of Afghanistan so that the Afghans are not killed with your hands and so that you are not killed with the hands of the Afghans." Naturally, the Taliban insist they are not going to Canada so why are Canadians in their land.
Violence in Afghanistan continues to escalate not merely due to lack of sufficient armed forces, but to the failure on the part of the Afghanistan government to end corruption and to initiate programs of economic and social reform. The Taliban are attempting to cast the coalition effort in Afghanistan as simply an arm of American foreign policy. Any nation with troops in Afghanistan is trapped in the failure of George Bush to present efforts in Afghanistan as representing the needs of the people of Afghanistan. The shadow of Bush failures is always present in that region of the world.

Hey guys, just read the Gauges FAQ and I was wondering if I could get your advice.
Was looking at the SMY Clustermaker gauge pod and I think I'll be getting that, and I know a Boost gauge is a must, but in your opinions what other gauge is most important to have, for say a daily driver with a little bit of track/drag strip time and just spirited driving otherwise? Should I get Oil Pressure, EGT or perhaps a wideband AFR??
And I know some of you may say I don't need it yet, but my accessport should be here on Monday and hopefully I'll be getting a downpipe for christmas, just wondering, is the accessport very accurate in determining the AFR or is a wideband really necessary?
Appreciate all advice/feedback you may have to offer and for having patience for a newbie modded

Paterson Weighs Bill to Limit Stop and Frisk Database
Governor Paterson has just a few days to decide if he will sign a bill that would prohibit the NYPD from continued maintenance of a database that includes personal information on hundreds of thousands of people annually stopped and frisked by police but not arrested.
Currently, the information is maintained in perpetuity.
This week, Public Advocate Bill DeBlasio issued a press release and held a press conference to highlight the fact that all of the Democratic contenders for Attorney General support this bill. It was drafted by Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries and State Senator Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer.
Republican Attorney General contender Dan Donovan, the Staten Island District Attorney, also supports the bill.
At DeBlasio's press conference, Democratic Attorney General candidate Sean Coffey, a former Federal prosecutor, said maintaining a police database of people not charged with a crime hurts community/police relations.
"Police men and women are under pressure and going beyond the Constitutional contours in order to generate numbers and so that as even more important reason not to have this database," said Coffey.
The NYPD says there is no quota and that the database has helped them identify potential criminal suspects. In 2009, the NYPD made 590,000 stop and frisk stops. Only six percent of those encounters generated arrests, but they resulted in the confiscation of 800 guns and thousands of knives. Commissioner Kelly has said he is willing to consider purging the database after a year.
When asked to comment on the issue, current Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo passed. "That piece of legislation is currently being considered. There are some legal questions about that legislation that my office may be involved in so I don't want to prejudice my office's involvement on legal issues."
Republican candidiate and former Congressman Rick Lazio has yet to weigh in.

Welcome, MaStA. They have some nice static displays at Tinker, love the BUFF, and was surprised to see they already have a B1B.
Just remember to get down to Texomaland and grab some catfish at one of the local eateries. Colbert and the lake area has a BUNCH of them. I sure miss that area.
Its a great thing to be blessed as we are. Its a shame that god didn't make everyone happy by making them an Okie!
I live in Madill and have never wanted to leave. We live in one of the prettiest places in the U.S.. I can drive 3 hours and be in mountains or desert. Or I can drive 3 miles to one of the coutries finest recreational lakes. You can hunt, fish and do just about anything hear and when you see someone they will most likely say "howdy" to you, just like those people that make fun of us say. If you break down on the side of the road, someone will stop and help.
We treat each other the way that we want to be treated and people that don't live here make fun of us! Yeah, I lots rather live in New York or Los Angeles than hear.
But on the lighter side, I hope everyone is doing all right ant that those foreigners that read this can take time to come to Oklahoma and see what its like to really live instead of survive day to day. Remember, were blessed to be here at all and doubly blessed to be Okies!

We've got so many reasons to be huge Anna Faris fans. Here are just a few:
- She's smart and gorgeous
- She was Chandler and Monica's birth mom on Friends (crazy!)
- She's married to Chris Pratt, aka Andy from Parks and Recreation
- She's not afraid to look totally ridiculous on the big screen (The House Bunny, anyone?)
- She refuses to fake bake
It's that last reason we're focusing on right now. Although Anna was once a sun worshiper, the funny gal says that she now keeps her skin bronzed with a self-tanner. In fact, she's so serious about sun safety that she's teamed up with Jergens and the Skin Cancer Foundation. Here's where you come in:
Click here to view Anna's digital photo book, which shows her glowing in her favorite locales. Then upload your own glowing pics, and Jergens will make a two dollar donation to The Skin Cancer Foundation.
"Staying safe in the sun is really important to me – now I can do it while I get a healthy glow. I encourage everyone to show how they glow and stay protected to benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation. It's a smart way to join the fight against skin cancer, one person at a time," says Anna.
We're glowing for it. Hope you guys do, too!

An online-playable demo of the PC title.
At its peak, the Roman Empire encompassed most of Europe and North Africa. Praetorians focuses on military combat between three civilizians: Romans, Barbarians (Gauls, Germanics, Celts) and Egyptians. The only resource that is managed are troops that can be recruited and trained from captured villages. Through fighting, units also become more seasoned, gaining better armor and combat abilities. Deploying chiefs with units provides more formations and special abilities. The single-player story has three intertwined campaigns: one within the Roman Empire, one in Central and Northern Europe, and one in Egypt. Exciting missions include the siege of fortresses, which can be entered by destroying the gates or scaling the walls with ladders and assault towers.

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: Replacement: None. We don't carry a direct replacement for this tool, but check out our tools category for more hand tools and instruments. This page is for reference only.
These were so novel we just had to try them. This is a small hand-held tool that allows the user to test capacitance, resistance, and inductance in circuit. Squeeze the probe tips around a surface mount component or test point and get instant, auto-range, auto-identification of parts and values. The display is easy to read and the unit is well designed to fit either a right handed or left handed user (finally something for lefties). RLC measurement is only the tip of the iceberg. This unit capable of voltage, continuity, and frequency measurements as well.
Measurement Specification:
Feature Summary:
Dimensions: 140x25x30mm (3.94x0.9x1.5in)
Weight: 53 grams (0.11lb)
Please lower the price by 80 cents (314.15)
I think there is a typo in the specification:
Operating Temperature: 0C to +55C
Storage Temperature: 40C to +60C
Relative Humidity: 0 to 90%
Battery Type: 1.5V LR44 Alkaline or Air zinc
Battery Life: 80 Hours typical with alkaline, 240 hours with air zinc battery
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): FCC 15 part B
Warranty: 1 year
Storage Temperatre, shouldn't that be -40 C to +60 C?
Couldn't you get the same effect for 1% of the cost by simply putting leads to banana jacks on onto a cheap pair of tweezers, and plugging into an existing DMM? Finding a pair of tweezers which are isolated might be a minor challenge, but I'm sure that it would be easy to peel a pair apart and epoxy them back together, or you can pick up a pre-made,well-insulated one, like the $27 model here: http://www.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=8856271
Looks like a nice DMM, but I already have one of those, and a $300 specialty tool feels a little steep for your weekend hacker customer base.
Second that!

Tailgate Rattle
Started getting this clunking sound from the tailgate and thought for sure it was the latch. So, I had the dealer check the latch and adjust it. They did what I asked but the noise was still there. I discovered the inner black plastic panel can move a little at the bottom of the door. When I pushed on the plastic at the very bottom, I heard the clunking sound. The dealer was going to take the door apart and install some foam. I didn't like their proposal and drilled 4 holes and anchored the plastic at the bottom. Looks good and the noise is completely gone.
BTW.....I do not have the automatic open/close hatch and I suspect that constantly pulling down on the black plastic handle to close the hatch had something to do with the rattle developing.
The pic shows one side of the door bottom with two of the screws.

When "World War Z" premieres this Friday, a new wave of undead terror will be unleashed on the nation. But is hiding in the middle of the latest horde, the scariest zombie yet: a zombie cat?
[Related: Where to Go to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse? 'World War Z' Knows!]
Tumblr user Steve Niles caught and pointed out an ominous silhouette reaching up at the doomed copter in "Z"'s poster:
That's right, there's a undead feline leaping out of that mass of humanity, and it's out to get revenge for all those times you forced it to take a bath or took away its catnip mouse.
[Related: Early Review Roundup: 'World War Z' Not As Deadly As You'd Think]
Sound too good to be true? Alas, as amazing as the zombie cat is, it seems to be just a meme, not a real live movie zombie. Whiskers will not be out for blood in the film. A search for the actual "World War Z" poster (below) reveals entirely cat-free carnage.
Upon examination, the Zombie cat poster and detail seem to be an ingenious internet-created meme, original source currently unknown. However, it should be noted that "World War Z cat" is the third most-searched phrase for the film, showing that this myth, like a cat itself, has nine lives.

WD Purple Surveillance Storage offers exclusive AllFrame technology to bring you premium reliability and peace-of-mind when installing your home or small to medium business security system. WD Purple's exclusive firmware upgrades work with ATA streaming to reduce error pixilation and video interruptions that occur when desktop hard drives are incorrectly used as storage in security systems. WD Purple Surveillance Storage is built for 24/7, always-on, high-definition surveillance security systems that use up to eight hard drives and up to 32 cameras.
You wouldn't use a bicycle to transport cargo across the country because it's not the right tool for the job. You also shouldn't use a desktop hard drive in your surveillance security system because it wasn't designed for that application. WD Purple surveillance-class storage has been tested to be compatible in a wide-range of security systems. These drives are designed to replace standard desktop drives that were not designed for the harsh 24/7 always-on, high-definition surveillance environment. Desktop drives are built to run for only short intervals and are not engineered to withstand high-temperature fluctuations and equipment vibrations found in a typical surveillance application.

Many of these types of materials are available for purchase in the
Wolfram Research Bookstore at http://www.wolfram.com/bookstore.
Of particular interest in Lennart's case is the section for Calculus and
Mathematica Education in which you can find the title which Jeff
suggests, along with several others that may be suitable.
The Wolfram Research Bookstore boasts nearly 100 titles in a broad range
of subjects. I would highly recommend browsing through it when you have
a chance.

Although I absolutely adore my iPhone, I have to admit that at times, typing long-winded messages can be quite the tedious task. I always wished for a quicker, easier way to enter in the same phrases or addresses into e-mails or text messages. Luckily, I recently discovered a super-handy tool featured on iOS: shortcuts!
From installing apps to creating new account registrations, I found myself spending far too much time entering in the same data, over and over again. With the help of iOS shortcuts, time-consuming typing is now a thing of the past. This valuable text expansion tool uses abbreviations to represent expanded blurbs of text. Using this feature is extremely simple: just type in the corresponding abbreviation, and the iPhone will automatically fill-in the expanded form of text for you!
Here are a few suggestions for making the most out of iOS shortcuts:
- Entering email addresses: Save time and extra effort by creating a shortcut for your most commonly used addresses. I would suggest something short and simple, like "em" to represent the email address. If you happen to use numerous accounts on a regular basis, you can set up additional shortcuts to correspond with each individual address (i.e.-"em1, em2, and so on).
- Using additional email signatures: With iOS, users can only create a single signature for each account used. However, if you do wish to change up your signature line every once in awhile, all you have to do is create a new shortcut for each new line in the signature (i.e.-sig1, sig2, and so on).
- Taking care of tedious texts: Trim down long-winded texts and send them out much quicker with the help of shortcuts. Put your creativity to good use and make up a shortcut set to expand into commonly used phrases. For example, instead of saying, I'll be on my way in five minutes, you could type in two shortcuts like this: OMW 5min! Busy at work? Let your friends know that you are occupied with this shortcut: CTN (short for "can't talk now.")
Last but not least, here are the steps to take when creating a shortcut in iOS:
- Navigate to the Settings section of your iPhone.
- Click on General, and then select Keyboard.
- Select Add New Shortcut.
- Once the phrase field appears, enter in the full version of text that you want displayed once you input the corresponding shortcut.
- Under the Shortcut prompt, type in what abbreviation you'd like to use to correspond with that expanded text.
Once you have completed these steps, hit save. Follow this procedure again when creating extra shortcuts. It's really that simple!

text: The best PO PO free route ever is starting at Highway 35 in Hood River, Oregon, heading south towards Mt. Hood. Soon enough after Mt. Hood Meadows it turns into Hwy 26. In the summer this road is the Oregon Autoban with long sweeping corners to 4mile long straight stretches. And if your a snow person its even better in the winter when the peak of hwy35 reaches about 5000ft. with an average snow fall of 20 feet. This road has it all from the views to nearly zero fuzz on it. I've lived near this pass and I've never...yes never seen a cop on it in the summer, they occasionally make winter runs because of bulky city suv driving folks always wreck there piles into snow banks.

Yea that kind of helps. I'm installing CDT eurorsports so there is a decent crossover to be installed. How are you guys mounting them in the door?
Yea that kind of helps. I'm installing CDT eurorsports so there is a decent crossover to be installed. How are you guys mounting them in the door?
pictures would be worth a million words here.
haha ya sorry man. I wish I woulda taken pictures. I thought about that after putting it all back together, and I was exhausted from the day and it was dark out and I had a cold beer in my hand so I said. I'm done!
Basically you have to just pop the back tweeters out of there anyhow, so just pop em out. They are only held on by 3 or 4 little plastic pieces, that are about 3mm in diameter, with a T top on them, or some were just melted down ugly like. I found the plastic was brittle enough that I could forcibly pop out the tweeter and the plastic tabs just broke off. Once you have them out you can see alot easier how to mount them. Time to use some ingenuity we know you have cause your on here!
I started with the back, and when I got to the front I knew how to pop them off in the same way, but it was a little different fit. My tweeters actually came inside of a casing already, so for the back ones I kept them in their casing, but the front ones I unskrewed them from their casing and put them in just as the 1" tweeter because the hole they were going into was to small for the whole deal. No sound difference and behind the plastic case they are in its all good.
Like I mentioned in my initial post. Its alot easier for the front ones if you take off the metal shieding from the door panel piece (little triangle) that holds the tweeter inside of it by prying the metal tabs to be straight out (this is on the side that faces out of the car when mounted inside). Then you can see what you have to work with.
HOpe this clears it up a little.
Yea I think that makes more sense. Thanks for the input.
I was cruising through google and saw a custom job where the did exactly this for the speakers, but re-used the rubber flares attached to the OEM speakers to help direct the sound. Think that would help any? worth the effort?
no idea. I didnt do it. Mine sound killer. Spose it cant hurt if they fit. I just thought they looked like POS so I chucked em.
Others have done it that way. Honestly, I think it's ghetto
Thanks for the post, very helpful!
i have stripped down my car door but i am having problems as to which wires i should use. On my new speaker there are spaces for 2 wires but on my orginal speaker there is a connector with 4 wires going in (shown in pic). I think the white and black wires come from the tweeters at the top of the door.
I do not know what the other 2 wires are for (green&brown and red&green).
Can someone advise me on which wires i should use to connect directly to my new speakers.
My car is a golf tdi 2003
black and white go to the tweeter, correct.
The other two wires are the input signals for the speakers. I can not recall offhand whether the non-monsoon system's tweeter was crossed over at the tweeter or at the woofer.
Either way, if you're installing a COMPONENT set (tweeter + mid with crossover), you would wire the red and brown wires to the input on the crossover, then continue on as the manual says.
If you are installing a "multi-way" coaxial speaker, your best bet is to run those wires to the speaker input, unhook the leads on the coaxial running to the built-in tweeters, and then wire the same input lead for the woofer to the stock tweeter. This is the hairy part: if the tweeters is crossed at the tweeter, that is fine. If it is crossed in the woofer (to do this properly), you will need to make a basic crossover for the tweeter. To do this you will need a 12 microfarad capacitor, a 5 ohm resistor, and a .3 milli-henrey inductor (l2) , and (as close as you can get) to a 9.3 microfarad capacitor (c2).

Quote, originally posted by sanchopanca » When you take the woofers off, and they have the factory connector, the black and white wires go to the tweeter from the woofer, and the multi colored one are live from the deck. I also found the the wire with the red was the (+) wire. Trial and error, when you put it on a speaker, if its wired right it will pop out, rather than in..
well i did this all today, took me 8 hours but worth it. I have 6x9 in the back and thats the only speakers i had because all my car door ones had blown. Now i have calibers in the front and JBLs in the back and sound is awesome.
I had one problem. I fixed the cable to the speakers fed it through the door put the door back on and put down the window and it ripped the wires from the terminals, so the door came off again.
What i did notice is that one speaker is higher in treble than the other front one. I switched the positive and negative terminals but cant figure out if it made a difference, i think it has.
Apart from that it all went smoothly and i made 1 inch baffle for mine.
thanks for the help.
Ive always wanted to do this and didnt know where to start, brilliant gude!

Yeah, if you run it through the regulator it will hit. I (probably should have mentioned this) find it easier to do this properly with the window down so you know where to run the speaker cable without hitting the window.
6x9's in the back doors? Wanna throw up a picture?
no 6x9 in the rear above the boot placed on the boot compartment door thing.
It did it again today, so what i did was took the middle right door popper off and put a small steel rod over the circle, hooked a cable tie around the wire and put both ends through where the door popper is meant to go and tied the cable to to the steal rod so the cable is very close to the inside of the door so the window wont interfere with it.
If anyone doesn't feel like doing all the work on this, you can buy an adapter online for $8-15. I just picked up a pair from BestBuy.com.
do those act like the mdf spacers or just stick in the door and hold the speakers place? also, i think plastic spacers would = rattle?
i just picked up a set of 4 power acoustik mid-65's, there 4 inches deep, how big of a spacer do you think i would need? would i be good with a one inch spacer?
Most plastic spacers aren't as strong. A much better option is cutting boards from Walmart/target. They can be melted together with a soldering iron, and cut with a router - not in that order of course.
4" deep speakers will not fit. They will hit off of the window carrier. You could try. You'll need at least 2"" spacers. and you'll also have to cut grills out and mount the speaker in the cabin. You can fit a max 1.5" spacer behind the factory door card. With a 1.5" spacer, you can run up to a 3 3/8" mounting depth.
According to bestbuy, they have a 3.5" mounting depth. You could try 1.5" spacers, but I highly doubt they're going to fit without scraping.

i wanna do this .. thanks for the write up
does anyone notice that the factory speakers have a little more bass punch to them then aftermarket? or maybe im just buying cheap speakers when iv done my speaker swaps in the past. this does look sweet for when my speakers get warn out though.
From what I understand from the posts, the factory plug has 4 wires, red/green (+for woofer?) and brown/green (- for woofer?)? The other 2 are for the tweeter. Can someone tell me which is the + for the power in?
I have the monsoon single DIN and I am also replacing the tweeters too. The tweeters have a resister on the back of them so I take it that is the crossover for it. So I have to wire in the crossover with my Kappas.

Is there a DIY just like this one for the MK3 Jetta? I have yet to peek behind my speaker grills to see if there is clearance to add a 1.5 inch adapter piece like this one.
I tried searching, but all I can find is this thread
Thanks for the help
Hey guys i have a 2000 jetta my front passenger speaker went bad and i got a a pair of 6 1/2 inch pioneer speakers my car has manual windows so will the window touch the magnet or will i def need that spacer if so where can i get one?
depends on depth
You can install aftermarket speakers into your MKIV using the Factory fitted Spacer/plastic housing fitted on car. YOu don't need to make any, you will use the ones in the car. They are reusable. The factory harness you will not need to modify it, it will plug into the same location. You will gut out the speaker out of the ring casing and install your speaker in place of it.
Use a dremel, dykes, or jig handsaw to core out the speakers from the black plastic ring casing. Carefully do this with speaker spacer/ring fitted. DOn't need to disconnect the speakers. Avoid damaging the speaker connector, you will solder your speaker to this later from the back side. Cut the two speaker wires closest to the speaker.
Don't touch the rivets, these secure the the ring onto the door.
Once you removed speaker core, install female spade connectors to your aftermarket speaker. leaving a couple of inches slack, solder the other ends to the back of the inside of ring connector. Pay attention to polarity. Secure speaker with short sheetmetal screws. Roll the window up and down and check for clearance.
Factory speaker harness will be fitted,spacer/ring fitted, and look like a factory set-up , when you are done.

Don't ignore the reality of tobacco use
Don't ignore the reality of tobacco use
Most of us get a warm feeling when we think of our grandparents. That feeling would most likely change to apprehension or fear if we learned the amount of time they had left on this earth would be shortened by four years. We'd probably silently plead with whomever we believe to be a higher power to let them have those four more years to spend with us. What is sad is those four years represent the average amount of time pack-a-day smokers take away from how long they will be able to spend with their loved ones.
Unfortunately, some of us ignore this reality because tobacco use seems to be such a good friend. It seems to provide some degree of relief from stress and sometimes helps to deal with boredom. Yet, the temporary relief tobacco use provides masks the nasty stuff some of us don't want to acknowledge as being part of our future: more days of sickness than non-smokers, increased chances for heart attacks, strokes, cancer, bronchitis, dental problems, etc.
The Great American Smokeout occurs Nov. 15 to call attention to these realities. It's a day when tobacco users are asked to consider quitting for just one day in the hope that if it can be done for a day, maybe it can be done for longer-maybe forever.
U.S. Naval Hospital Guam wants to help tobacco users make this effort. We provide over-the-phone help, tobacco cessation classes, individual counseling and presentations to commands and other organizations. Our tobacco cessation program deals not only with the nagging that comes from the physical addiction to nicotine, but also with the conditioning to use tobacco caused by one's habits and the reliance on tobacco use to meet emotional and social needs.
So seriously consider The Great American Smokeout challenge. Let go of that false friend for a day in exchange for a chance to enjoy, if you quit permanently: lung functioning increasing up to 30 percent within three months or less, less fatigue within one to nine months, excess risk of coronary heart disease dropping by half within a year, stroke risk reduced to that of a non-smoker within five to 15 years, lung cancer death rate dropping by half 10 years later and the risk of coronary heart disease being that of a non-smoker's in 15 years.
Letting go of tobacco takes a commitment and work. But then, I remember my grandmother's commitment and hard work into making the melt-in-your-mouth fresh bread.
Grandma didn't smoke. She gave her family those extra years.
We might not know how to make fresh bread. But we can give those extra years to our families and friends. I'm glad Grandma did.

Plot Summary: Roxie is trying to avoid Helvetia and her hooligans by staying after school to help the teacher. When the Hooligans start bullying her in the morning, she gets to school early too. One morning, the Hooligans arrive to school shortly after Roxie, and the school isn't even opened yet. A chase ensues, with Roxie climbing on the garbage bin to get to the window. But the eggs the kids threw make the rail slippery and she falls in. Thinking she got away, they chase her and also fall in the garbage bin. Before they know it, a garbage trucks collects them and puts them in a barge. The barge is emptied out into the ocean and Roxie and the hooligans swim to an island. Roxie knows how to survive on an island because of the stories her Uncle Dangerfoot writes about in his book, but she also has to deal with the two bank robbers on the island who promise to slit the throats of anyone on the island. Will the hooligans stop blaming Roxie for putting them in this situation? Will they survive?
Setting: not sure, seems like it might be historical fiction in England, but definitely somewhere with a small island near the mainland

Personal Thoughts: This book was fantastic. It was adventurous, funny, and smart. I enjoyed the characters. It would be a fantastic choice for One Book, One School.
Genre: Action/Adventure
Pacing: Fast
Characters: Well developed
Frame: Seems like it happened a long time ago or in a different country, mentioned crumpets and tea
I've decided to add a few books that I've recently read aloud to my 4th graders. This is a new book in our library and was a fun and fast read....
The book takes place in a small seaside town in the northeast. Roxie is a meek and mild girl who lives through her uncle's adventure stories as he accompanies Lord Thistlebottom to the wilds and through many narrow escapes. She has poured over each of his books and memorized his many methods of escapes - always beginning with "Don't Panic."
Roxie's life is also filled with adventures - but of a nasty nature. She is ruthlessly harrassed by a gang of bullies she calls the hooligans. They have chosen this little girl due to her huge ears. Each day they pursue her and the escape gap gets narrower and narrower until one day...
Roxie is walking along the edge of a dumpster to get to an open window - the holligans are right behind her. And bing, bang, boom they all fall down...into the depths of garbage. At that moment, the dumpster man arrives to take the dumpster away - to a ship - to be dumped in the ocean.
So begins the real adventure. Roxie uses her wits and the wisdom of her uncle's books to keep herself and the hooligans alive on a small island - not deserted but inhabited by 2 bank robbers.
This book sounds English - and seemed a little hard to get into... but only at first. My 4th graders loved it!
it's got a great anti-bullying message - the harrassed girl saves the savages and they begin to understand one another!
We all loved it!
This book was funny and interesting. It kept me on my toes and was fun to read.

ONE WILLIAMS girl is tough enough. Two are simply too much, as Martina Hingis discovered in the final of the US Open at Flushing Meadowshere last night.
ONE WILLIAMS girl is tough enough. Two are simply too much, as Martina Hingis discovered in the final of the US Open at Flushing Meadowshere last night.
Drained by the physical demands of repelling Venus Williams 6-1 4-6 6- 3 in a pulsating semi-final, Hingis was on court again 20 hours later to faceVenus's "baby" sister, the massively muscled 17-year-old Serena, and she was not up to the task. Serena won 6-3 7-6 to become the first blackAmerican woman to capture a Grand Slam since Althea Gibson won the US title in 1958, 41 years ago.
The glory went to Serena, who mixed the brilliant with the banal in a display of fireworks which produced 36 winners and 56 unforced errors. Butsurely the family will offer a portion of the credit to sister Venus, whose gutsy display in Friday night's semi-final siphoned the starch from the18-year-old Swiss girl's normally tight and controlled game.
Serena, who has not lost a match since back in May, partially because she has not played that much, was on a 12-match winning streak going into thefinal, and she treated the sell-out crowd of 22,500 to an incredible display of raw power, with serves regularly being pounded down at speeds onlymarginally short of 120mph. Her immediate rewards are that she will pocket a cheque for £500,000 and will rise to fourth on Monday whenthe new rankings are released.
The head of the Williams family, Richard, had forecast that his daughters would contest the final, just as they had done at the Lipton event last March.He was only 50 per cent right, but who was worrying in the aftermath of this sensational result? This was the third time Hingis had beaten oneWilliams girl but lost to the other. At the 1998 Lipton, she beat Serena in the third round but lost to Venus in the semi-finals. In May this year, at theItalian Open, Martina defeated Serena in the quarter- finals only to fall to Venus again in the semis.
Hingis has for some time experienced difficulty in containing the sheer venom of Serena's hitting and it happened again yesterday. She droppedserve the first time she stepped up to the line and rapidly found herself trailing 3-0. Even so, the world No 1 was creating break points on theWilliams serve, thanks mainly to Serena's wildness and inconsistency.
Hingis got back to 3-4 with a break of serve when Williams put a backhand wide, as she was to do on so many occasions in the next hour and a half.But at once Hingis was broken again by a stunning backhand down the line and Serena served out, rather shakily, for the first set in 37 minutes,missing one set point but reaching a second with her seventh ace of the match before her opponent dumped a backhand service return into the net.
As her parents and sister watched impassively from the VIP box Serena then set about completing the second half of her task. By now, however,Hingis was beginning to find her feet, moving better to the ball and offering much more than the token resistance of the opening set. They shared thefirst four games but then, to a sustained roar of support, Williams smashed through the Hingis defences once more to break serve with two shots ofthe highest quality, a searing backhand down the line followed by a carbon copy off the forehand wing.
At once Hingis battled back and levelled the set, thanks to more errors from the Williams backhand. But in this exhausting and unforgettable clashSerena took a 4-3 lead with a crunching backhand winner. Surely it was curtains for the Swiss girl? Williams served out for a 5-3 lead and as Hingisbattled bravely to stay alive, Serena got to match point with a marvellous forehand cross-court winner, only to put a backhand wide. Up came matchpoint number two but Serena trundled one of those fallible backhands into the net.
Now, spotting a glimpse of light, Hingis rallied as only a true champion can. She spotted that Serena had run herself virtually into the ground andlaunched her own attack, levelling the set at 5-5 and winning eight straight points. That was Serena's low point and it seemed that, if the contest hadgone to a third set, Hingis would still prevail somehow.
But as the two girls battled towards the climax of the match it proved too much for Richard Williams, who left briefly. In his absence his daughtersaved a set point before extending the set into a tie-break by running down a rare Hingis volley to poke a backhand winner into the empty court.
Serena had rediscovered her serving zest by now and when she led the tie-break by six points to four she had two more points for the championship.She needed only one, as Hingis floated a backhand beyond the baseline. "My God," mouthed Serena, before being hauled up from courtside into thefamily box for thoroughly merited congratulations.
The Williams girls had shattered the mould of women's tennis when they contested the final of the Key Biscayne tournament in March, Venuswinning in three sets. But if this and the new success have gone to their heads, it doesn't show. When Serena had completed her demolition job onthe defending champion Lindsay Davenport in the semi-final 6-4 1-6 6-4 she ran into Venus on her way back to the locker room.
Did they hug, kiss or high-five? Did they speak? "Yeah," said Serena. "She asked me for her hairbrush because I had it."
Father Williams has long claimed that Serena will become the better player of his daughters. Certainly she has the right attitude. Having recoveredfrom a 3-5 third-set deficit to defeat Kim Clijsters in the third round, Serena opined: "I was almost out of this tournament that day but I didn't wantthat. I came here with the goal of doing very well, I didn't want to lose in the third round. I was really determined to get through."
This she did in simply brilliant fashion yesterday. Sportingly, Hingis congratulated the new champion on winning her first title. "It was a great matchbut oh, those serves," she said. "I am defintely looking for revenge next year."Reuse content

I followed the link and read the brief description of what happened. Evidently he was knocked to the ground by 2 or 3 attackers when trying to enter his own house. So they had trespassed on his property and attacked him first. With 2 or 3 to 1 there is a great disparity of force, and the attackers could easily injure or kill him on the ground before he could get up. He may have had good reason to fear for his life. He may well be acquitted in the trial, I think.

Michigan Voters to Decide 'Dictator' Law's Fate
Labor activists say a law giving the state oversight over local government is undemocratic. But fiscal conservatives say it's the only way to preserve financial stability.
Nov. 7, 2012 7:41 a.m. Update: With 94 percent of the precincts reporting, 52 percent of Michiganders voted to repeal Public Act 4.
For full election coverage and analysis, go to Governing's 2012 Election Center.
Michigan voters will soon decide whether to scrap a controversial law approved last year that gives the state almost unilateral authority to take control of struggling cities and school districts.
That law, known as Public Act 4, allows state-appointed "emergency managers" to assume power held by mayors and other locally elected officials, pass ordinances, and make changes to labor contracts in struggling localities.
Critics who've dubbed PA 4 the "dictator law" say it's a subversion of democracy, but supporters say it's the only way the state can prevent some localities from becoming insolvent and declaring bankruptcy -- which would have statewide implications.
The debate over PA 4, and its effect on Pontiac, Mich., was the subject of a Governing cover story earlier this year.
Currently, three districts and four cities are operating under the state oversight. Three other cities signed agreements that give the state broad oversight but fall short of turning over total control to a state appointee.
Opposition to the law is primarily organized Stand Up For Democracy, a group backed by labor organizations who say PA 4 has been used to lay off public workers and reduce their pay and benefits while outsourcing work to private-contractors.
"We believe that (the law) eliminates jobs within our community that are union jobs – fair wage jobs – with good benefits," says Herb Sanders, an attorney with the Stand up for Democracy. "There's a lot of money at stake. The opportunity for contracts to be had by a lot of big businesses – that's what the fight is about."
Flint, Mich. Mayor Dayne Walling, whose authority has largely been displaced as a result of the state's emergency intervention, says the law also undermines the ideals of democracy. He says the state should consider alternative approaches to local financial challenges. "There has to be a long-term solution that matches the economic realities but also the public expectations of democratic participation," Walling says.
Opponents of the law gathered enough signatures to place the law on the ballot this November, but they almost failed on a technicality. Challengers to their petition said it technicality used the wrong sized font, which should have stopped the vote. An appeals court sided with petitioners.
Meanwhile, it's unclear what, exactly, will happen if voters do put an end to PA. When petitioners got enough signatures to force the vote, the law was temporary suspended. State officials say that means Public Act 72 -- a less-expansive emergency manager law that still gives the state great authority – was resurrected.
But PA 4 opponents say that shouldn't have happened. They're fighting to ensure that if they defeat the current the law on Election Day, the old law won't continue in its place.
A pending lawsuit has already challenged the validity of PA 72's resurrection, says John Philo, legal director of the Sugar Law Center for Economic & Social Justice. It won't be heard until after the election.
Another pending lawsuit questions the state constitutionality of PA 4. If the law's opponents win on Election Day, that argument would be moot. But if they fail at the ballot box, it could give them another avenue to defeat it.
Sanders, of Stand Up Foe Democracy, say PA 4 opponents haven't filed a federal suit, but that will likely happen if they don't win on Election Day.
Meanwhile, supporters of the law are fighting to ensure it stays on the books. Among them is the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. The group argues that public employee unions are seeking to repeal the law without taxpayers' best interests at heart.
Betty McNerney, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Chamber of Commerce, says her organization is urging voters to support the existing law. "Our members pay a substantial amount in tax revenue at the school level, local level, and state level," she says. "We've always had an inherent interest in the other side of the equation… how that money is being spent."
She says PA 72 wasn't strong enough to reform local governments, and the new law has helped localities get back on track.
The conservative Mackinac Center for Public Policy -- which advocated for many of provisions in PA 4 -- is also advocating for citizens to preserve the law. Experts there say it's critical to preserve emergency managers' authority to amend labor contracts, since personnel costs typically represent local governments' greatest expense.
Both of Detroit's major daily newspapers support preserving the law. "Is it undemocratic? Sure," the Detroit Free-Press wrote. "But the alternatives are much, much worse."
