2013 Year in Review: MozSpaces and WPR
2013 Year in Review
2013 was another "monumental" year for WPR, the MozSpaces extended team, and Mozillians around the world. Â We continued to execute on our overall MozSpace Strategy (established in early 2011) with grand openings of 3 new MozSpaces (Paris, SF 1&2 and Portland). We locked and loaded a huge collaborative planning and construction effort on our largest project to date (New Mountain View – 331 Evelyn).
Through it all, we executed pretty flawlessly on our plans and our budget (hitting our construction target dates and move-in dates for these 3 spaces). Most importantly, we produced minimal disruption for the nearly 300 Mozillians who received a new space in 2013!  However, not everything was perfect per our master plans. We encountered an extremely long delay in our planned Berlin location (The Factory) due to construction hold-ups by the Berlin developer (landlord) which forced Mozilla to wait for its completion.  Once this building is complete in 2014, we are still planning on executing our MozBerlin interior construction plans.  All in all, 2013 was one of our most exciting and best years yet in the WPR and MozSpace world.
On April 2nd, MozParis opened in the beautiful 9th Arrondissement. This historic building (built in 1778) mixes the striking architecture of the 18th century with modern day luxuries. It is said that Marie Antoinette herself once inhabited this beautiful building. The space combines work stations for up to 50 people and a large community hall that can host up to 150 for events, meet-ups and work weeks.
After months of competitive bidding, behind-the-scenes planning and unlimited hours of construction, MozSF expanded onto the 1st and 2nd floors formerly known as the Gordon-Biersch restaurant. On June 10th the floors officially opened to accommodate our planned Mozillian growth and team requirements.  We could almost hear the huge collective sigh of relief from the packed 7th and 3rd floors! In addition we now have many more new conference rooms with Vidyo capabilities and new Event, SF Commons, and Mozilla Community (public) spaces. We'll continue our tradition of "open planning" for the "Mozilla Community Space" as we begin to focus on an intended use for this "old Starbucks area" so we can fulfill our commitments to Mozillians, SF and our global MozSpace vision and strategy.
 We removed the old Gordon Biersch sign……
….and constructed our new Mozilla monument to celebrate our amazing history and the efforts of all Mozillians past, present, and future! Sneak peek (Our official celebration of this monument is being scheduled for February 4, 2014)
Our intense 2013 build-out efforts continued into the summer of 2013 as we proudly opened MozPortland in the Pearl District on July 22nd. This MozSpace, which can house ~45 Mozillians is in the restored Brewery Block building and has a vibrant and diversely talented group of Mozillians working there and having fun in the space. The office is located blocks away from Powell's, breweries (it is Portland after all) and the iconic food trucks.
We will literally touch history in Berlin. The Factory, where part of the Berlin wall once stood, will be a new tech hub. Some of the soon-to-be neighbors will be: SoundCloud, 6Wunderkinder, Four Sektor, Toast, Urge iO, Views, and Silicon Allee. Aligning with the Mozilla mission and history, the building will have an 'open source' look and feel with a restaurant, basketball courts, and shared spaces (all to be built by the landlord). The building design was conceived to foster relationships within the Berlin technical community. Construction is planned to begin in Q1 2014 with an expected grand opening in Q4 2014. Stay tuned for updates. We are excited about our final "MozSpace" of MozBerlin.
Looking ahead to 2014 … Finishing our Original 2011 MozSpaces Strategic Plan:
In 2014, we'll be putting the finishing touches on our 3-year journey and completing our original 2011 MozSpace Strategic Plan to provide a global footprint of highly effective and productive collaboration and community areas for our global and highly distributed Mozillians.  What began as only 1 real "Mozilla Space" in 2011 will have blossomed to nearly a dozen "Moz Spaces" of various sizes, each with their distinct localized culture, and anchored by familiar Mozilla "basics" of workspace, collaboration space, communication technologies, and overall logistics (food, drinks, events, shipping).
The grand openings of our new Mountain View space for ~300 Mozillians (our 4th generation of a Mountain View MozSpace) and our Berlin MozSpace will be highlights in 2014. We will continue our active communication and collaborative planning to be fully transparent so we create the spaces together as Mozillians.
Just as our online surveys, focus groups, Wiki info, and Brown Bag presentations contributed to the future of MV2014 and our prior 2012 and 2013 spaces, we will turn our collective and collaborative focus on how to make the spaces we've built HUM in order to maximize our potential and our opportunities.
Here's a link to the Mana page where you can see LIVE footage of construction and check in for all the latest updates. Watch as the place beings to really take true MozSpace shape… https://mana.mozilla.org/wiki/display/INTRANET/MV2014%3A+331+E+Evelyn+Ave+-+New+Office+Space

3,350 people visit the Paris MozSpace!
On the weekend of September 14, 3,350 people toured the Paris MozSpace as part of the European Heritage Days, which encourage Parisians to take interest in local historical buildings. Our Paris MozSpace is located in the former Hotel de Mercy-Argenteau, which was owned by the Austrian ambassador to Queen Marie-Antoinette.
Mozillians were on hand to demo our products and answer questions about Mozilla. 1,250 people showed up on Saturday, and more than 2,100 on Sunday. Another splendid example of Mozilla partnering with members of the community to create a hugely successful event that enriches everyone involved.

Paris Grand Opening!
In the weeks since the move into the beautiful office at 16 Boulevard Montmartre, a bevy of checklist items and finishing touches have been completed, with a few more to go before our official public Grand Opening events during the week of June 10th.
Our Mozilla Paris employees are finally under one roof, able to entertain team meetups, workweeks, visitors and events in a space that is truly unique.
We're looking forward to celebrating all the hard work and dedication that went into making this historic piece of Paris a part of Mozilla's own history.
Hopefully you have seen the beautiful photographs of the Paris office that were published in the Journal du Net upon the office's opening. A far cry from more traditional office spaces of yesterday.
We hope to see you in Paris soon!

Mozilla Paris: Finally United
Mozilla is excited to announce our newest office opening in Paris!
By doing so, we continue our mission of keeping the Web open and accessible to all by investing in our people, places, and leading products. All our Mozilla spaces are designed for use by our worldwide Mozilla Community (both paid staff and community volunteers) to hack, code, design, research, create, engage and contribute to the Mozilla mission.
Our new Mozilla Paris space combines working areas for up to 50 people and a vibrant community space designed to host up to 150 people for our Mozilla community events, meetups, and work weeks.  We've incorporated the same leading technologies, amenities and designs as our other unique Mozilla Spaces around the world, all with a unique Paris feel. After all, it is Paris!
Historic Building
We found a historic building that first and foremost met our space needs and vision and also needed a unique tenant to care-take, preserve, and protect the original architecture.  In fact, the building's architectural details have remained untouched in this heritage building and Mozilla is proud to join the ranks of distinguished inhabitants leading back to Marie Antoinette herself.
Mozilla's occupation of this space carries with it certain custodial preservation responsibilities which, in part, is how we were able to secure this heritage space at a very affordable market price versus other options in the area.
Mozilla Spaces Goals
Our overarching goals for all our Mozilla Spaces remain the same:
Increase participation by providing opportunities for interaction, learning and collaboration with Mozilla;
Attract, recruit, and retain paid staff and volunteers in region by extending Mozilla experience;
- Increase Mozilla mind share and influence within local communities.
Paris Mozillians will finally be united under one (18th century!) roof beginning in April. It's a stunning and unique addition to our collection of MozSpaces around the Globe. (note: we didn't need to paint or do anything to the gold leaf walls – that's how the space came!).
We hope you find a chance to visit and help us create, collaborate, and contribute to the Mozilla mission……and, of course, enjoy everything Paris!
More pictures!
Boxes have arrived, and the team is busy packing up our two former temporary offices in preparation for the move. Our space planning and support teams are in Paris this week as we set up and facilitate the move between the three sites. Working diligently this week and through the weekend, the WPR team (led by Rob Middleton, Lori Jashinsky, Lisa Gray, and Shannon Clayton), Desktop team (Tim F, Guillermo, and newest member Guillaume C), and IT teams (Zandr, Ravi P) will ready the new site for employees on Tuesday, April 2.
Work Area

Move-in begins Friday, March 29th
- 1st Day in Office – Tue, April 2nd;Â Final construction details, polishing, and office bug fixing happening throughout remainder of April
Grand opening public event celebration – June 10th
Lots of Questions:
As a reminder, our office openings typically generate lots of questions, press and blogger attention. If you are contacted by anyone interested in learning more about our new Paris office and plans for Mozilla in France, please forward inquiries to email@example.com, per the usual media inquiry process. We will be inviting local media, our community, and others to our scheduled June 10th grand opening soon.
We know many of you already have questions surrounding the opening and operating of this space. A regular rolling set of communications has already begun with all our Paris Mozillians to help them plan, pack, and move in next week.  We'll also be communicating to our partners, vendors, press, and several others shortly.
We'll also be posting lots of updated Paris Office information to answer most every other internal "how to" question in the next few days.
Thank You's!
More huge thank you's to our amazing Mozilla teams responsible for making these Mozilla Spaces possible including our extensive Mozilla Spaces team (Mozilla WPR, Rosen Realty Group, CRE Group, ISG, and several other external partners), Mozilla Desktop team, Mozilla's IT and Networking teams, and of course our current Mozilla Paris community of employee and contributors.
Enjoy! and Have Fun!
Amusez-vous et profitez-en!
The Entire Mozilla Spaces Team!

FCC Approves Obama Administration's Government-Run Rural Broadband Plan

Land line subsidies to die completely in 2020, broadband fee and subsidy system kicks in next year
The federal government's effort to expand communications to impoverished and rural Americans is
shifting gears from phone lines to broadband
. The
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
have approved
a new plan and a new set of rules that will revamp the way taxes are used to improve communications in the U.S.
I. "Bye Bye" Land Line, "Hello" Broadband
The new rules revamp the Universal Service Fund (USF), a government fund financed by a 10 percent government fee (tax) on phone lines (cell phones, land lines) in the U.S. The USF was first created as part of a broad package of telephone and internet reforms passed in the
Telecommunications Act of 1996
, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton (D).
Under the Obama adminstration's plan, the estimated $8B USD the USF pulls in annually from U.S. taxpayers is being redirected. The plan, approved by the FCC this week will
eventually throw out the old subsidies
on poor, rural Americans' phone service.
In its place will be two plans, aimed at bringing more modern communications technologies to these folks. The first is the "Connect America Fund", which will direct $4.5B USD annually to funding mobile phone and broadband service to rural areas. The services will only cover areas that private businesses refuse to cover.
Much of America [orange] is not covered by what the FCC defines as high-speed internet (3 Mbps down; 768 kbps up). [Source: FCC]
A second fund, "The Mobility Fund", will get $500M USD. This fund will focus its efforts on
spreading wireless internet
The plan was approved by a unanimous 4-0 vote, with FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski calling the plan "a momentous step in our efforts to harness the benefits of broadband for every American."
The plan is expected to provide service 7 million Americans over the next six years, and create 500,000 high-tech jobs, keeping America viable in a "fiercely competitive" global economy.
II. Some Warn Broadband Bills Will Go Up, FCC Says They Won't
The fly in the ointment may be higher bills. Until 2017, the fees supporting USF will still be in effect, and the government will be funding the CAF and Mobility Fund from additional fees on broadband.
Public Knowledge, an advocacy group,
, "[W]e share the concerns of other consumer organizations that the Commission's actions will lead to higher prices at a time when the average American is watching every penny."
Generally, while mobile service providers are pleased with the plan (which may give them funding for network expansion),
broadband providers are irrate
But the FCC's three Democratic comissioners, and the loan Republican commissioner were unilateral in insisting consumer bills will not, on average, increase. They say that their plan counteracts the extra broadband fee by eliminate some of the network of confusing subsidies and kickbacks on broadband and phone service. As a result, these cuts will create enough of a price cut to absorb the new fee, they say.
Comments Republican Commissioner Robert McDowell, who endorsed the plan, "For the vast majority of consumers, rates should decline or stay the same."
Robert McDowell, the FCC's sole Republican commissioner spoke for some in his party in supporting the plan. [Source: C-Span]
Democratic FCC Chairman Genachowski adds, "I don't expect that overall consumer rates will go up as a result of this."
The plan will go into effect this year, with funds being put to use between 2012 and 2016. Between 2017 and 2020, the USF will be discontinued and rural areas will stop receiving subsidies to keep their phone land lines alive.
The government playing utility is a role that troubles some, but it's an issue complicated by the fact that there's almost 10 million Americans living in regions that the private sector refuses to cover. Thus, there should be plenty of lively debate on this topic.

As a chef there's no ingredient I look at and think, "Hmm, don't want to use that" – I like them all. The only thing that doesn't inspire me is when you go to the supermarket and see things on the shelves that shouldn't be there – such as asparagus, today, for example. The best food is what is at its peak and has just come into season – two of those things right now are pears and partridge.
I love game's strong flavours, and grouse is probably my favourite if I had to pick – the flavour just blows your mind – but partridge has a lovely, delicate flavour and is a great middle-ground for those who are not that keen on heady game meat.
There are two species of partridge shot in Britain, the redleg (or French) and the English (or grey) partridge. The season runs from September to February and although available fresh to the end of the season, numbers may be limited from December on. English partridge is much less abundant and, consequently, more expensive than the redlegs.
Pears are just coming into season now, too; I think they're an under-used and understated fruit – they have such a unique, distinctive taste and are great to eat with cheese, on their own, as a chutney, in a pear cake or a gâteau.
Roasted pears to me epitomise comfort eating, especially with a large dollop of mascarpone and a good sprinkling of spice – but all my recipes this week make for good comfort food, perfect as it gets colder and all you want to do is stay indoors.

Roasted and marinated partridge with juniper-scented sauce
This is something a bit different to give friends or family coming over for dinner – it's not difficult but is something they probably wouldn't cook for themselves. A great way, essentially, of showing off.
Serves 4
4 partridge
500ml/17fl oz chicken or vegetable stock
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 bulb garlic, halved lengthways
250ml/8fl oz olive oil
1/2 bunch thyme
For the sauce
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 carrot, cut into 4 chunks
1/2 stalk celery, cut into 4
1/2 onion, cut into 2
1 tbsp juniper berries
6 white peppercorns
50ml/2fl oz port or sherry
100ml/31/2fl oz red wine
250ml/8fl oz beef stock
1 tbsp Bombay Sapphire, or other aromatic gin
1/2 tsp table salt
First, poach the partridge by bringing the chicken/vegetable stock to a gentle simmer in a saucepan big enough to fit four of the birds. Poach them for three minutes then remove from the liquid, set aside and season all over.
Heat a medium-sized frying pan with the vegetable oil. When hot, place the partridge into the pan, breast-side first. Evenly roast the birds by turning frequently and basting with the hot oil. When nicely golden, remove and allow to rest for at least five minutes. Now remove the breasts from the partridge, as you would a chicken (reserving the carcasses), and place, skin-side up, in a shallow tray.
Meanwhile, place the olive oil and thyme into a saucepan and heat very gently until just above blood temperature – then pour the warmed oil over the birds in the tray and leave in a warm (but not too hot) place for 10-15 minutes.
Now make the sauce. Heat a medium-sized saucepan with the tablespoon of vegetable oil. Chop the partridge carcasses in half, season, then add to the hot pan with the carrot, celery, onion, juniper berries and peppercorns. Brown everything well then add the port and red wine. Reduce to a syrup then add the beef stock. Allow to simmer for five minutes then strain the liquid into a clean pan and bring to the boil, add the gin, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve the partridge with the juniper sauce and winter vegetables – for example, those in the pot-roast partridge recipe (see below).
Pot-roast partridge with lentils and winter vegetables
This is a lovely, hearty family dish that you can just bang in the oven and leave to cook.
Serves 4
4 partridge
100ml/31/2fl oz white wine
500ml/17fl oz chicken or vegetable stock
Table salt, to season the bird
100g/31/2oz puy lentils, soaked in water for two hours
For the mirepoix (a type of seasoning base)
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 bunch thyme
2 bay leaves
4 cloves garlic, halved
1 onion, peeled and quartered
2 star anise
8 white peppercorns
1/2 tsp toasted cumin seeds
1 carrot, peeled and quartered
For the winter vegetables
2 parsnips, peeled and cut into wedges
1 small swede, peeled and cut into wedges
2 carrots, peeled and cut into wedges
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp table salt
1/4 bunch parsley, chopped
Heat the vegetable oil (from the mirepoix ingredients) in a large casserole with a lid. Season the partridge all over then add to the hot oil and brown evenly. Remove and set aside. Add the mirepoix ingredients to the same pan and brown. Add the white wine and reduce to a syrup then add stock and simmer. Strain and reserve. Heat the pan with another tablespoon of oil and brown the parsnip, swede and carrot with the salt. Add the reserved stock, lentils and partridge and simmer for 15 minutes, lid on. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.
Spiced pear and chestnut-crumble muffins
A bog-standard muffin is chocolate, blueberry, blackberry; this is a bit different. It's called a muffin but is more of a cake – something to have with a cup of tea in the afternoon. (You will need some muffin moulds.)
Makes 12
3 medium free-range eggs
125g/4oz natural yogurt
75g/3oz butter, melted
2 comice pears, peeled and finely chopped
50g/2oz cooked chestnuts, finely chopped
250g/8oz plain flour
2 heaped tsp baking powder
125g/4oz caster sugar
125ml/4fl oz milk
2 tsp mixed spice
For the crumble
75g/3oz rolled oats
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp demerara sugar
50g/2oz unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas4. Mix the eggs, yoghurt, milk and melted butter together with the chopped pear. Mix the chestnuts, flour, mixed spice, baking powder and sugar together. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Grease some muffin moulds and fill with mix. For the crumble, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Sprinkle the crumble on top of each muffin using your hands. Bake for 15-20 minutes until pale-golden.
Roasted pears, ginger crumble and mascarpone with warm caramel sauce
This recipe is real comfort food: sink into the sofa eating this with the TV and the fire on while it's cold outside, and it's just going to warm you up inside.
Serves 4
For the ginger crumble
70ml/3fl oz double cream
25g/1oz butter
25g/1oz caster sugar
25g/1oz golden syrup
30g/11/3oz plain flour
1/2 tsp ground ginger
For the caramel sauce
70g/3oz caster sugar
120g/4oz double or single cream
25ml/1fl oz water
A pinch of table salt
20g/3/4oz unsalted butter
For the pears
3 large comice pears
25g/1oz unsalted butter
1 tsp mixed spice
To serve
200g/7oz mascarpone
Begin by making the ginger crumble; preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas4 then place the cream, butter, sugar and syrup into a small saucepan and place on the hob over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mix begins to bubble. Combine the flour and ginger then add to the saucepan and stir well. Spread the mixture on to a baking tray lined with baking paper about five millimetres thick, and place in the oven for 6-8 minutes until it is bubbly and golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Make the caramel sauce next; place the sugar into a medium-sized pan and heat gently until it begins to caramelise. Swirl the pan around to evenly colour the sugar. When it is deep-golden, add the cream carefully (it will bubble and spit). Keep on a moderate heat and whisk well until the cream and sugar combine. Add the salt and butter, mix well then add the water; whisk well then set aside.
Now peel the pears, then cut in half and remove the core. Heat a frying pan or saucepan (to fit the six halves of the pears) with the butter. Dust the pear halves all over with the spice mix then place carefully into the foaming butter. Keep moving the pears to ensure they colour evenly. Insert a knife after five minutes and check if they are soft; continue cooking if not, until done. Remove and allow to cool.
Slice the roasted pear halves into two then arrange three slices in each of four bowls. Add a spoon-shaped dollop of mascarpone to each bowl and crumble the ginger biscuit over the pears. Garnish with a pinch of mixed spice on the plate and serve with the warm caramel sauce.

Marcus Wareing on where to find and how to prepare the best ingredients
Partridge We buy ours whole but it's much easier to get them ready to roast from your local butcher, or farmers' market. Allens Butchers of Mayfair (Tel: 020 7499 5831) has a great selection of quality meats and game.
The key thing when cooking partridge is to keep it moist and juicy: when roasted, it can easily become tough and dry - which is why poaching or braising, as done here, works so well.
Pears Comice are juicy yet subtlely tangy at this time of year and, along with Conference pears, are great for cooking. If you're eating them raw, Williams and the aromatic Beurre Bosc are better, as they have firmer flesh. Look for pears sourced from Kent, which is orchard country.
Chestnuts For these recipes, you can use ready-cooked, packet chestnuts from the supermarket (try Merchant Gourmet). If you're eating them on their own it's worth roasting and shelling them yourself - but be warned, they explode very easily!

Loose bolts
La Bestia,
I will offer a suggestion, it is necessary when tightening the bolts to do so in an alternating procedure where by you tighten one a bit than the other a bit more than back to the first one a little more and so on and so on, to pull it up evenly. There is than a torque spec for these bolts, on the zincs for my 130 drive, it is 9Nm or 6.7lbf. It also requires an application of Loc-Tite on the threads, which is diffacult to do under water unless you apply it first and let it cure before you install the bolt. This is a job that is probably best done out of the water unless you are, or deal with, a through diver who is willing to trash expensive torque wrenches using them under water.
Good luck.
Loose Volvo Saildrive anode bolts
Im having a hard time getting the screws on my volvo saildrive anode to tighten. I can tighten the top one pretty well and the bottom one almost there. After a few hours of use I they are loose again. Im bringing the boat out of the water to wet a better look at it. Any suggestions.

Submitted to: Association for the Advancement of Industrial Crops Conference
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 8/1/2008
Publication Date: 9/7/2008
Citation: Isbell, T. 2008. Thlaspi arvense (Pennycress) as a biodiesel in a one year-two crop rotation with soybean [abstract]. Association for the Advancement of Industrial Crops Conference. p. 6. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Increased demand for energy has generated renewed interest in the development of oilseed crops. The short term answer to biodiesel has always been soybean. Unfortunately, soybean oil has several shortcomings in its effort to supply the U.S. market. First, and foremost, is the fact that if all current soybean oil was converted to biodiesel, we could only supply 12% of the U.S. diesel demand. Established oilseed crops, such as canola, rapeseed, sunflower, and flax have high oil yields per acre and can meet some of the burden for fuel production. However, these oils are used extensively in food and the resulting balance between foods vs. fuel must be considered. New crops that can be grown in rotation with traditional crops, and off-season production and utilization of acreage not currently under cultivation, will also play a role in meeting these industrial needs. Pennycress has potential as a winter annual in rotation with soybean production throughout the Midwest. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physical properties of pennycress oil and its methyl esters for suitability as a biodiesel. Pennycress seeds were obtained from combine harvesting of wild strands using conventional combines. The seeds were cleaned by screening, aspiration and gravity table fractionation. Oil was recovered from whole seed by passing through a screw press and filtration. The oil was converted to methyl esters using a sodium methoxide catalyst in methanol. Pour point, cloud point, viscosity, flash point acid value, copper corrosion, and oxidative stability were determined on both the oil and the methyl esters using the appropriate ASTM method. The seed was found to contain 36% oil with the major fatty acid as erucic at 38.1%, and an iodine value of 115. Viscosity index (VI) of the methyl esters was 277, with a 40 deg C viscosity of 5.0 CST, and pour point and cloud points of -15 and -10 deg C, respectively. The starting oil had a VI of 222, with a 40 deg C viscosity of 39.1 CST, and pour point and cloud points of -18 and -10 deg C, respectively. As expected, the flash point of the methyl esters at 136 deg C was considerably less than the starting oil at 234 deg C. OSI of the oil at 100 deg C was 39 h and 54 h for methyl esters. The early harvest date of pennycress, compared to other winter annual oilseed crops, will make it suitable for a two-crop rotation with soybeans in most of the Midwestern U.S. In addition, the physical properties of the methyl esters indicate that continued development of the oil as a biodiesel is warranted.

You walk up and grab the handle and it unlocks if the key is in the perimeter
Ford mentions this as standard on the car. Anyone have any info on this system, because there sure isn't much detail on the site. Is it just a standard shock sensor?
You walk up and grab the handle and it unlocks if the key is in the perimeter
Two-step perimeter alarm gives a warning chirp for non-threatening impacts and a Real Panic Sound if security is threatened.
IT-s (Interior Theft Sensor) uses infrared technology to protect the vehicles contents.
Factory-supplied transmitter remotely locks/unlocks doors and deactivates the alarm.
Dome lights are activated for illuminated entry/exit.
For vehicles equipped with factory keyless entry.
Yep. It seems to be combined with intelligent access... but it is an alarm feature and is a bit like shock sensors on a conventional alarm, only with additional sensors.
I just hope it doesn't give too much false alarms like my last alarm... in the end I didn't activate it because it would sound when a truck passed by or for no apparent reason in the middle of the night!
I have lots of cars with high powered subs in the apartments around me...no problems with false alarms so far.

The "intelligent access" has me baffled sometimes. Getting in, no problem. Car unlocks when you have the fob on your person. But it seems sometimes I have issues trying to lock the car (without pressing the lock button on the fob). Maybe I'm just not sure what exactly I'm supposed to do, and I never read the manual (RTFM!). My nissan's was easy - a little button on the handle you pressed to lock, unlock.
so is it necessary to correct someone if they are not wrong? all i said was that they are two different things and according to window stickers they are listed separately.

Town meetings getting underway
Town Meeting days are here, with Vermont voters heading out to gymnasiums, town halls and school cafeterias to help decide how their local governments are run.
In Vernon, the agenda includes a vote on saving a struggling newspaper. In Plainfield, voters will consider banning fluoridated water. In about three dozen towns, residents will weigh in on whether Vermont Yankee should get to stay open past its scheduled closing in 2012.
The annual ritual has a new wrinkle this year. Vermonters now have the right to ask for an unpaid day off from work to participate.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Mogilny, Nov 20, 2012.
Teen wolf was a point guard who played almost identically to Will Bynum.
Taking this a step further, if the rules allowed teams to play 1 animal on the court in lieu of a player, would it make sense to take advantage of that rule? The animal would have to conform to all on-court rules (3 in the key, taking charges outside the restricted area, not fouling superstars, etc). Keep in mind that if your animal mauls someone on the other team, they will most likely be kicked out of the game and will serve a season ending suspension. Giraffe as a shot blocker? Gorilla trained to get loose balls?
I'd have a wolverine come off the bench.
A pissed off male rhino to patrol the paint.
Going back on topic, now that Steve Blake is also out and the Lakers looking to make a move, I wonder if we can somehow be involved in a trade that sends Bynum or Stuckey to LA land. Maybe even Bynum for a first round pick or two.
From now on Will Bynum shall be known as Teen Wolf. Teen Wolf might be the baddest-ass nickname in the entire NBA!
I like it.
That's why I'd like to see us go after him in the off season. If we have $20M in cap space I think we can sign him and OJ Mayo to $10M/Yr deals. After our 0-8 start we're an above .500 team at 6-5, Singler has a lot to do with that and does Maxiel, but while we're excited about Max's recent productivity, Millsap has been doing this every night for YEARS and can do it as a starter or coming off the bench in limited minutes.
If this trade rolled across the bottom of ESPN I'd be ecstatic NBA Trade Machine - ESPN
I like Millsap, but he will be looking for a pay day. OJ, I'm not huge on, also, you need to trade for him as he has a two year deal with the Mavs. Who the hell do they want of ours for him? We would be giving up more than we get back. They are both as bad as each other. In fact, I would argue that Stuckey is better player, talent wise, who is in a bad team for his talents. Team Stuckey with two perimeter players who can shoot, and he would actually be quite useful as a slasher.
Come on man, stop looking at the forest and see the trees. #1. Devin Harris is an expiring contract. The only use Stuckey has on THIS team is at backup PG, whenever he's in the game at SG , it's a disaster. Devin Harris is 10x's better as a backup PG than Stuckey AND his contract falls off the books. #2. The 2nd year of Mayo's contract is a player option, with his 20ppg avg and shooting percentages you can pretty much bet the house that he won't exercise that option and use this summer to see his NBA pay day! #3. Millsap is a steal at $8-$10M/yr. And he's perfect for our system because if the projected starting front court of the future is going to be Monroe and Drummond, then you need a guy who can come in off the bench and produce, not very many guys in the NBA can do that, Millsap has proven that he's one of them.
I like Mayo. He won't change anything by himself but he can play and is right sized for the position he plays. If it is OK with everyone else I'd like to stay away from investing $$ in any bench players. Milsap is Maxey ++, a bigger undersized PF. Joe might pay him the max for the honor of coming off the Pistons bench.
When I hear the name OJ Mayo, I picture Ben Gordon. ...that's my subconcious mind telling me something.
Gordon is an undersized SG who can't dribble, Mayo is a Shooting Guard who can actually SHOOT! He didn't work in Memphis because he was the 4th option and there simply wasn't enough Basketball to go around after Z-Bo, Gasol, and Gay got theirs....so Memphis (smartly) decided to part ways and go with a defensive minded SG at that position. he didn't work as a guy off the bench. Now in Dallas OJ is getting a chance to be OJ and he's BALLING! His career stats are VERY impressive. He's scoring 20ppg AND he's doing it with outstanding shooting percentages.
I think we're at our best when we have a 3 big rotation like when we were playing Dyess, Ben and Sheed. So I imagine more of a 6th (a la Dyess) starter scenario more than bench player. 3 Bigs playing 32 MPG seems pretty ideal to me.
Playa: Pts/ FGA/ eFG/ Ast/ Tov (per 36) BenG: 21.4/ 16.5/ .559/ 4.2/ 2.9 OJM: 21.0/ 15.3/ .574/ 3.3/ 2.4 Both of these guys are shooting almost .100 above their recent years' performances and they both look pretty similar on paper. Whatever the Pistons were trying to do with Ben wasn't working. Since he had really good years before and after, I'm wondering if the problem was really just the Pistons schemes.
I hear what you're saying and it sounds completely logical. I don't know why but my gut tells me that if OJ went to Detroit, he'd have a good game every 20 games like Ben Gordon did. ...again, just my insticts talkin here.
Yes and No. BenG just came into a situation that couldn't work, #1 he needs to actually PLAY and #2 he needs a really good back court mate to excel, in Detroit he had neither. Had we accepted the idea early on that Rodney Stuckey is an off the bench combo guard, ditched Rip, brought in a legit PG, things may have worked out.
I thought that the only person in the world who thought Millsap was no better than Maxiell was Joe D.

Top Five Craziest Pops Headliners
For the Fourth of July, nothing stirs the patriotic heartstrings better than a fireworks display accompanied by a symphonic pops concert full of Sousa marches and topped with a bombastic 1812 Overture. Of course, more than a few of these ensembles are adding extra flair this summer with special guests from Broadway stars such as Kelli O'Hara to less predictable featured performers.
As a salute to the orchestras that stepped outside the box when programming their concert seasons, here are our top five unlikely headliners.
1. The country's oldest and one of its most esteemed orchestras, the Boston Pops caused a sensation last winter when then Celtic basketball player Shaquille O'Neal donned tails to conduct the ensemble's Christmas concert. The strange cameos get even more curious this summer, as the Farrelly Brothers (filmmakers behind slapstick comedy flicks Dumb and Dumber and Something About Mary) lead the ensemble in Port Hyannis, RI. Perhaps a rousing rendition of The Foundations' "Build Me Up Buttercup" will help them fill Shaq's size-23 shoes.
2. The Houston Symphony's pops promises to bring otherworldly "Star-Spangled Salute" to the Miller Outdoor Theater. The ensemble will accompany astronaut Chris Hadfield, who claims to be the first folk singer in space. More definitively, he was the first Canadian commander of the International Space Station. Hatfield will sing his original song, "Big Smoke," inspired by the first of his two space missions. The concert ends with the more familiar 1812 Overture, complete with artillery fire as well as fireworks.
3. The St. Louis Symphony, which plays a pops series in addition to its more traditional fair, gets an end of summer virtual visit from one of our favorite consumers of classical music, Bugs Bunny. The orchestra will provide live accompaniment to that Wascally Wabbit and his high jinks projected on the big screen. The concert comes courtesy of conductor George Daughterty, who has performed the concert in the U.S. and abroad.
4. Tributes to 70's music icons like Elton John, Billy Joel and Paul McCartney are not unusual, but the San Francisco Symphony takes a step even father in honoring the decade. As the ensemble prepares for its centennial season, it will join the premier Swedish ABBA tribute band, ARRIVAL, for a night of the original group's top hits. ARRIVAL fans will get a chance to meet the impersonators in the flesh at a CD signing following to the concert.
5. When Moulin Rouge is the theme of an evening at the Hollywood Bowl, you'd expect a performance related to the Baz Lurhman movie of the same name. But you'd be wrong. The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra is importing the high-kicking Moulin Rouge dancers from the Parisian café for a night of Can-Cans. Paris Combo, a cabaret band, will also tag along for the trip.

Tributes have been paid today to a "happy, bubbly" seven-year-old girl who fell to her death from an 11th floor flat.
Nawaal Sayid fell more than 100ft from her council flat balcony in Finsbury, north London, on Tuesday at 6.45pm.
The seven-year-old, who suffered from learning difficulties, was rushed to hospital in critical condition by paramedics.
She died a short while later at the Royal London Hospital.
Dr Penny Barratt, headteacher at The Bridge School in King's Cross where Nawaal was a pupil, paid tribute to the young Somali girl.
In a letter to parents, Dr Barratt said: "Last night Nawaal Sayid one of our pupils at the Primary Site had a tragic accident and subsequently died.
"Nawaal was an extremely happy, bubbly, fun loving girl who really enjoyed all the activities she got involved in at school. She brought a smile to the faces of all who came into contact with her.
"We will really miss her."
Flowers had been left at the foot of Emberton Court tower block last night, feet from where she had fallen.
One written in a child's handwriting said: "RIP little angel, always in our thoughts."
Nawaal is believed to be one of three children to mother Deeqa Mohammed, who had lived in the 11th floor flat for three years.
It is believed Nawaal fell to her death when her mother went to answer the door.
One shopkeeper, who did not wish to be named, said: "I tried to go over to help but a woman, who I think was the mother, just shouted, 'Stay back, this is none of your business'.
"It was really shocking."
Neighbours said Ms Mohammed had previously asked Islington council to be rehoused to a ground floor flat.
Nawaal's death is being treated as unexplained and police are investigating.
A post mortem has been scheduled for later this week.

TPI Q's:
Since i just recently purchased a '85 TPI off of a 85 Iroc i was wondering if i could use any wiring harness from any TPI from 85-91(OR 92)?
Could i put a supercharger on my engine w/the TPI on there?
and my engine itself (the block) has been stroked to a 383, but i have 305 F.I. heads on it now, pretty soon I'll be putting that TPI on top of it do think Ill have any problems w/that combo? If ya, why?
Since i just recently purchased a '85 TPI off of a 85 Iroc i was wondering if i could use any wiring harness from any TPI from 85-91(OR 92)?
No, 85' uses a MAF system, whereas 90-92 is SD (speed-density). And depending on the year, they also have different ECMs, distributors, knock sensors, etc.
Could i put a supercharger on my engine w/the TPI on there?
and my engine itself (the block) has been stroked to a 383, but i have 305 F.I. heads on it now, pretty soon I'll be putting that TPI on top of it do think Ill have any problems w/that combo? If ya, why?
What engine is your TPI off of, a 350 or 305? If 305, forget about it without first getting 350 injectors. If your 383 is a strong engine (400+ HP), the 350 injectors may not work either. Increased fuel pressure may help. If MAF, it is more forgiving with engine mods (i.e. cams & heads). However, SD, you will need a new chip.
Your third question is too broad. Be very specific with your engine specifications and the TPI system you are working with.
I will tell you this, www.thirdgen.org has more information on TPI than you could read in a year. I am not exaggerating about this. Check it out, you can read for hours and hours and keep learning about TPI and ECM/PROMS. Another good summary about different TPI systems can be found at www.chevythunder.com.

thanx, i need all the input i can get
The 85 wiring harness is unique. No other year harness is like it. Period. In 85 they used on relay for the power/burnoff relay for the mass airflow sensor. In 86 that changed to two seperate relays. Using an 85 computer with an 86 harness will give you troubles. Trust me I've been there lol.
Ditch the 305 heads. They, along with the stock TPI manifold and runners, are restricting your airflow. Like was said, bigger injectors, and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator will really help out.
You can supercharge a MAF TPI, but prepare to pay for it. Speed density is supposedly easier to S/C and there are more companies out there making units for them, thus its a bit cheaper. But do a search on google because there are a few companies making kits for the MAF type setup. Before you do this however, you need to solve your airflow issues. A Supercharger is going to do about squat with those heads and stock manifold.
well the supercharger was just out of courisity, but I'll keep it in mind for later on down the road, depending on how well i get this to go to together. What if w/o the s/c I kept the 305 heads on it for the compression and just got a bigger intake, injecteros,fuel rails,etc., etc., etc.,? Would that be alright you think or do ya think I'd still be waisting my time? Somebod at work told me that a 383 w/tpi wouldn't work because I'd have to modify my ecm and he also mentioned that my valve clearence wouldn't clear. If that so how come theres people out there w/ 383 tpi's pushing a healthy 4-500horses? You know? I had like the "basic" idea of what i want to do,but not exactly. I'm deffinetly starting to get there now thanx to you guys, I appreciate all the input evrybody shared w/ me on this subject.

The 305 heads are always going to be holding you back, regardless of which intake you use. Right now, the airflow of the intake, runners, and head runners are holding you back. 305 heads belong on 305's, and without major porting, dont even flow very well for a 350 let alone a 383.
Unless you are using pistons designed to lower your compression, using 64cc aftermarket heads, or some good stock castings from the 350 will give you plenty of compression.
Point is, you can keep the 305 heads, but you will never see the potential of your 383 with them. That size head was kept on the 305's for a reason . They never were intended to flow for an extra 80 cubic inches of motor.
Right, I'm a "moron" Ise what your saying now. Your probably think Im a retard (so did the last person iasked this Q to) what if I had a radical cam in it would that mess me up?
I dont think your a moron lol. I just want you to realize that that engine has a lot of potential given the right combo.
MAF are a bit more forgiving than the speed denisty setup. The main thing you want to keep in mind about the cam is the LSA spec. Generally one between 112-114 is where you want. Goto www.lingenfelter.com and look at thier L98 hyrdaulic cams (not the rollers but the flat tappet) and look at their specs. Keep in mind most of their specs are with 1.6 rockers. That should give you an idea of what area cam you should be going for. Also keep in mind your vavle springs might not be able to take the amount of lift you want to put it.
TPIS and Lingenfelter have some good TPI grinds. It depends on the rest of your car as well . . weight, stall, gears etc.
Any cam thats noticeably bigger than stock will need a custom prom to get the full benefits of it, and get correct idle.
You seem to know alot about tpi set-up and the different combo conversions from carb. to f.i., did you go through this before by youself (one of those learn the hard way experience's). Hey I appreciate all the help thus far....so ya think if i got a bigger cam I might as well go ahead and get stronger springs? Also i have the old carb. 350 heads that was on my motor before i put those f.i. ones on there, there still like brand new I had 'em resurfaced and new valve guides put in, but do you know if they make an intake to bolt on carb. heads to convert it to tpi? or something like it?
Heads are heads. There really isn't a difference between FI heads and carb heads. The only difference in head styles would be would be the intake bolt holes. In 87 the pattern changed slightly for the center 4 holes. If you have an 85 or 86 TPI, it will work with the older style heads. If you have an 87 or later, you'll have to take your intake manifold to a machine shop and have them slot it for the older style heads. Its no biggie for them really.
I have put an 85 TPI on a 72 block in a 66 GMC truck. That is where I gained most of my knowledge and experience with TPI's from. I probably had every problem imagineable getting that thing to work. However nothing was really that complicated . . . just a lot of small things that being unfamiliar with the FI made it hard. Now I wouldn't go back to a carb short of having a gun to my head.
I dont know what kind of 350 heads you have (give us a casting number so we know what type of heads you have) so I cant really tell you how much of a benefit its going to be putting them on. My best suggestion is to save up your money and get some aftermarket iron heads like Dart's. They usually come with pretty hefty springs, and will flow enough for your 383 to really breathe. After which, I would invest in a Big Mouth manifold for the TPI. Then you'll really start to see the power add up.
Its not cheap by any means. The draw back of FI is that most components and upgrades are far more expensive than a carb setup. The bigmouth alone is going to run you close to, if not over 400 dollars. I am looking at putting the full Superram manifold on in place of my stock manifold and runners and plenum. All told that unit will cost as much as my heads did. But then the prospects of power really open up.
There are many people running that setup (the superram) on 383's on their C4 corvettes with timeslips in the 11's. Like I said, costly, but if you want a powerful FI, worth it. You cant beat that kind of horsepower combined with the fuel economy.
Well, I know when I was putting on the f.i. intake that it wouldn't fit my carb heads....the bolt holes were so close it wasn't funny, but they sat at to much of an angle, so I had to go back up to the junkyard find the car I had already pulled the intake & throttle body off of and go to town ripping the heads off......but i also herd that vortech makes an intake to go down on carb heads for f.i., but then again it also came from one of my co-workers that we call "liar liar" lol.....ya seriously we call 'em liar liar he'll stack a lie on top of a lie and think he's getting over on ya....
No wonder you seem to know so much about an 85 tpi ..........................(85 tpi+72 block+66 truck=lots of research) Ya that sounds like me too...watch I'll try and everything and it's brother will go wrong (murphy's law) because it'll be my 1st one I put in .....but ain't that how it always happens though? Oh well live n learn.
I had already planned to get the #'s off of those carb heads tomorrow so I can run the #'s on 'em tom. along w/ my cam. A buddy of mine gave me (he say's it a radical cam) but we''ll see tom. it's alright I sold 'em a stock one out of a 305 I used to have sitting out back (about a year ago)
I just talked to another guy I know yesterday he's had work done to his heads not to long ago there carb. too but his truck sounds real healthy anyway he works on all his stuff too, and now w/ gas prices they way are he was talking like he wanted my carb heads to put on his truck. Idon't know exactly what they are, but I know there for 350 I'll find out here in the next couple day's whenever I see 'em
Boy your not kidding this tpi stuff starts getting expensive...especially when you start to get into aftermarket stuff but it doe's seem like the best way to go for fuel effecieny+horsepower opposed to carb=horsepower but it takes gas+gas+gas+gas+gas+gas+gas+gas+gas you know!
What, are you working on the same tpi in the 66 truck? but it sounds like you have serious plans for your set-up too......is yours a daily driver or you making it to a weekend warrior? I'll probably have another year or two before they give me my Lic. back so I have all that time while I'm waiting for my Lic. to get a little done here and little bit there & hopefully by the time I get my Lic. I'll be done on my car, & if I'm not, or even close well ............................lets just say i got really pissed off it'l probably be that "murphy's law" we were talking about j/k I love my car

National Girls & Sports Day Flyer
The University Of Cincinnati Department Of Athletics is pleased to announce promotional activities in coordination with National Girls & Sports Day on Saturday, January 25. The event is in conjunction with the Cincinnati women's basketball game against UCF at 2 p.m.

Newcastle have both Fabricio Coloccini and Steven Taylor injured with hamstring injuries, and we are again short of center-back cover in the squad, just as we were last season, and we thought the plan was to bring in another center-back over the summer, but for whatever reason we didn't manage to strengthen the Newcastle squad.
Steven Taylor – has hamstring injury
Steven Taylor has tended to be injury prone over the last three years, so it was asking a lot to expect Steven to go through this season without picking up some kind of injury, and we just have to hope if he does pick one up, it's not a serious one like the Achilles injury that kept him out of the team from early December last season.
There's no chance that either player will be fit for Thursday night's game against Bordeaux at St. James' Park in the Europa League, but there' some hope that both can make it for the tough game at Old Trafford next Sunday afternoon in the league.
Fabricio Coloccini has made just three appearances this season, and of course he was injured on International duty, so we hope when we do get him fit, he will not be off trying to play for Argentina again – because if he came back injured – that just wouldn't be right.
As a precaution, Colo missed the game at Reading on Saturday, and it's also hoped that Steven Taylor was withdrawn early enough in that game, that he is not too badly injured and could make it for next Sunday.
And when Steven left the pitch on Saturday, Reading scored a couple of goals within six minutes, as James Perch struggled to adjust quickly to a change of position.
This is what Alan Pardew told the press:
"We have been solid defensively and that was the first game we have been got at, mainly because of taking a centre-half off at that time." "Going from right-back to centre-half is a difficult mode and Perch just got caught out.
"He has been brilliant when he has played there, I have no worries about him." "Colo isn't far away. I think for Manchester United we'll be sweating on Colo and Steven."
And to be fair to Perchinho he had made a great clearance from Russian striker Pavel Pogrebnyak, with the last kick of the first half, and after the two goals were conceded, he settled down well and had a decent enough game at center-back.
But we really do need to get an experienced fourth center-back into the Newcastle squad – maybe in January?
Comments welcome.

What Do We Have in the Way of Foreclosed Eden Prairie Townhomes?
There is nothing in the way. Call us and we can make a beeline toward them! Display all Eden Prairie townhome foreclosures now!
If you haven't waited too long, you should see about a dozen of them at the above link. Have prices on townhomes in Eden Prairie gone down? Of course they have. The market for townhomes was overheated to begin with, and I was frequently listing Eden Prairie townhomes at 10-20% over what sellers paid for them the year before. Town house prices were insane! The prices started to decline about two years before the recent credit crunch, as an overabundance of Shakopee townhome inventory swamped the market, and the effects rippled northward across the river. (Home sellers in Eden Prairie like to think that nobody would ever choose Shakopee over EP, but they certainly did! Money talks! You could go across the river and easily find similar units for 10-25% less! Sure, EP schools are great, but that is usually less of an issue for townhome buyers. The 169 bypass also made the commute over the Minnesota river a non-issue.)
However, I will admit that Eden Prairie enjoys a permanent demand (well, usually) for town homes because it is a favorite spot among corporate transients who enjoy the location. We will see this come back into play as the economy recovers. Also, this city is almost fully developed, meaning that your home probably won't be competing against new construction in Eden Prairie.
You might want to jump on the bandwagon and start looking at lender-mediated properties, because other people are climbing on board. The sweet prices could disappear. Look for Eden Prairie townhome foreclosures in Hennepin Village on top of the river bluffs overlooking Shakopee. You will literally be able to look down your nose at the people who bought in Shakopee!

Ihave had sle for about 10 years and have been thru taking all the medicines.I don't have it right with me but dr. says it is normal. No bleeding Thanks
Ok and since how long you are on Effient?
Only since November after having stent placed in coronary artery. I had a 99% blockage.
Ok please tell me do you have generalised bruise or localised to speicific area?
No specific areas. They show up in different places. They are quite large and can hurt quite a lot.
Ok thanks for info regarding your concern i want to share with you that definetly Effinet can be the reason of bruise as it inhibits platelets function so i will suggest you to get your BT test (bleeding time) to see the functions of platelets ,and once please consult Cardilogist ,you have normal CP as you mentioned so SLE induced thrombocytopenia is highly unlikely ,so please get test and proceed further.One thing more as you mentioned that purple bruises are over different reigons and also painful you may need to rule out the possibilty of SLE induced vasculitis (inflamation of blood vessel) regarding that you may need to once consult Rheumatologist.

So you've picked out your History / Bible / Literature, Language Arts, Handwriting, Math and Science? Great! That's all you really need to do with your kids to start.
But when you're ready for some extra enrichment, don't miss Sonlight's exciting options for Electives. Consider ...
Three Reasons to Use Homeschool Electives
1. Electives broaden children's horizons
Art, music, foreign language, PE and practical life skills all help kids understand more about the world and themselves. In other words, electives help create well-rounded students. Once you get to high school, know that colleges expect to see some electives on your kids' transcripts--particularly foreign language and some exposure to the fine arts.
2. Electives help kids discover their gifts
Even if you are not musical, artistic or gifted in languages, you might have a child who is. You won't know until you give them a chance to explore these areas and see where they shine. Maybe you have a budding artist in the house, just waiting for a chance to discover it.
3. Electives are fun
From silly art projects to fun music CDs, electives let you step back from the regular routine of school and just enjoy your unique children.
Homeschool Electives for High School
Your students are ready for the exciting opportunities high school provides. Sonlight offers many electives for high school, including standard programs such as Driver's Ed, Foreign Language, and Psychology. To this list, we add excellent elective options like a Worldviews Studies course, an in-depth Apologetics program that looks at the the impact of Christianity on the world, as well as Computer Programming and Critical Thinking instruction too!
As a baseline for all of this, Sonlight's College and Career Planning Kit will help your student chart a course for the future and prepare transcripts and more if college is on the horizon. Check out all of the college prep tools available to you.
