Writing on the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq, Patrick Cockburn bluntly stated: "It has been a war of lies from the start. All govenments lie in wartime, but American and British propaganda in Iraq over the past five years has been more untruthful than in any conflict since the First World War." He points out from day one of the war, both governments have been telling their nations one lie after another in order to justify a war whose goals were fraudulent. There never were any WMD so reasons advanced for invading Iraq were a pack of lies from the beginning.
The original heavy bombing of Saddam Hussein residences were aimed at killing the Iraqi ruler. On April 7 the US aAir Force dropped massive bombs on a house in which Saddam allegedly was hiding. Vice President Cheney insisted that day:"I think we did get Saddam Husseing. He was seen being dug out of the ruble and wasn't able to breathe." It was a lie since Saddam was never in the house but 18 Iraqi civilians died.
Cockburn charges during the period 2006-2007 a civil war raged between Sunni and Shiite in which about 3,000 people died each month, but neither the US or the UK admitted such a war was going on. He cites the February 1st suicide bombing that killed about 99 people which was blamed on a woman who supposedly had Down's syndrome. British media echoed the official Iraqi government account even thoough there was no way anyone knew if she had such an ailment or not. All they had was a head. The Iraqi police began arresting mental patients on the theory they represened potential suicide bombers.
His comments describe examples of lies being told. Each example in itself may be interpreted by supporters of the Iraq war as quibbling over minor incidents, but they reflect the ongoing lies and deceit of American, British, and Iraqi government sources who are unable to confront the reality of a war begun in the shameful use of lies and continued with ongoing lies.

UPDATE 2-Bombardier to cut 1,750 jobs, 15 pct, in business-jet unit
(Adds context on business-jet unit)
By Allison Lampert and Allison Martell
MONTREAL/TORONTO May 14 (Reuters) - Bombardier Inc said Thursday it plans to cut 1,750 jobs in its business-jet division, about 15 percent of jobs in that unit, due to weaker demand, in the latest setback for the Canadian train and aircraft maker.
The company said last week it would cut production of Global jets, its largest business aircraft, after orders plummeted.
"Economic conditions and geopolitical issues in some market regions, such as Latin America, China and Russia, have impacted order intake levels industrywide," the company said.
The cuts represent about 2.5 percent of the company's staff worldwide.
Bombardier's commercial aircraft business has been in the spotlight as it has struggled to bring its new CSeries jet into service. Business aircraft are the profitable core of the aerospace business, earning $96 million before interest and taxes in the first quarter, up 7 percent from a year earlier, while the commercial aircraft business lost $9 million.
Net business aircraft orders dropped to 19 from 46 a year earlier in the first quarter, with weakness in the Global program, according to Chief Executive Officer Alain Bellemare. Continued...

MEXICO CITY – Former President Felipe Calderon tore into U.S. Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Saturday, comparing him to Adolf Hitler and blasting him as a racist.
Calderon, a member of the conservative National Action Party (PAN), warned that Trump's rise in the Republican Party presidential primaries is fueling anti-Americanism around the world.
Fellow conservative Trump's anti-migrant rhetoric is not aimed at all immigrants, but rather "he is talking about migrants that have a different color than him — and that is frankly racist," said Calderon, speaking after an event in downtown Mexico City.
Trump is exploiting the social fears "that in his time Hitler himself did," Calderon told reporters.
He warned that Trump "is turning the United States into a neighbor that we're all going to end up rejecting and hating," and that is not in the best interests of the United States.
Mexico is the third most important U.S. trade partner after Canada and China, and the neighbors share a 1,954-mile-long (3,145-km-long) border.
Trump angered Mexico by declaring that the country is sending rapists and murderers across the border, and that he will force Mexico to pay for a giant wall to keep illegal migrants out.
Earlier this month Calderon — who served as president from 2006 to 2012 — dismissed the idea of building a border wall as "stupid."
Another conservative ex-president, Vicente Fox, Calderon's predecessor, also compared Trump to Hitler in an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN. "He reminds me of Hitler," Fox told Cooper on Friday.
Earlier in the week, Fox said that Trump was "crazy" and told the U.S. television network Fusion, "I am not going to pay for that f****** wall."
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, speaking Thursday during a visit to Mexico, said the message expressed about Mexicans by some candidates in the U.S. election campaign is "dangerous, damaging and incredibly ill-advised," but that this episode of "xenophobia" will pass.
President Enrique Pena Nieto's administration has called Trump's comments about Mexicans "prejudiced and absurd."

text: Hey guys, how's it going? I thought I might well swing by and introduce myself. I'm Oli, I'm a grand 20 years of age, I live in Cambridge, England, and I enjoy proper photography. The problem is, not a vast amount of other people around these parts do, so it's nice to discover a community that doesn't ask me to see the pic I've just taken, then ask why I'm humping around a camera from the dark ages... I do as much shooting as a student/bartender's budget allows, mainly on my Minolta Dynax 500si, but I do take my Yashica 635 and Yashica J out quite a bit as well. Not as much as I used to, lost my meter, but guesswork usually gets some half-decent results! Got a few other toys tucked away as well, but they're the ones I use mostly. What do I use them for? Anything goes, really... Street photography mainly, but anything that looks like it'll come out well will probably get a photograph taken of it. Here's a couple of mine I've got, for your viewing pleasure. All the best, - Oli

Honeymoon Safaris
Some easy plans for making the most of a honeymoon safari or a simple romantic break to Africa's wilderness and beaches.
Your honeymoon is the most important holiday you'll ever plan; a special journey together creating memories that last a lifetime.
Whatever a couple has in mind, they should be suitably catered to in Africa. Would you prefer remote adventures or exclusive lodges with fine dining, pampering and personal butlers? Vast open plains teeming with wildlife or idyllic deserted beaches? Either way, Africa has everything you need.
If you're after a barefoot 'Robinson Crusoe'-style escape, try a dhow safari in Mozambique's Quirimbas Archipelago. Here you can sail among mangroves and deserted islands, sleep on their shores at night or island-hop around Mauritius or the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.
For the perfect combination of bush and beach, explore Southern Tanzania's less-visited National Parks – like Ruaha or the Selous – as both have stunning wildlife and smaller crowds. Then, head to the exotic Spice Island of Zanzibar to dip your toes in turquoise waters and walk for miles along pristine white sands.
Iconic destinations make for memorable honeymoons too, like the spectacular Victoria Falls with lunar rainbows in its spray. This could be combined with a safari in Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe or Zambia, as these all offer beautiful, exclusive lodges. Or for unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime adventures together, try climbing Kilimanjaro or canoeing the mighty Zambezi.
All that really matters is that you have the honeymoon you want, and for this, Africa rarely disappoints.
Bazaruto Beach Holiday
The simple beach holiday during our winter safari season, great weather, quiet beaches and easy from South Africa at affordable prices
Quirimbas Dhow Safari

Hoanib Skeleton Coast Safari

Katavi & Mahale safari
The Katavi and Mahale safari is an 8 night trip offering outstanding resident game in the wild Katavi plus chimpanzees in the remote forests of Mahale
Botswana Classic
The Classic Okavango safari with first class accommodation and top notch professional guides in the Linyanti
Selous and Zanzibar Getaway

Noisy pots and switches, what's your favourite cure?
Just about every tech I've talked to has their favourite technique or product. The problem effects all of us sooner or latter and it has far worse effects than selecting the wrong bias current.
Originally I used lightweight lubricants but after a year or so they evaporate and leave waxes behind that made the situation worse. Now after trying numerous techniques I've settled on giving the pots/switches a good exercising and a light aplication contact grease supplied by RS Components, (the supply of which has dried up).
The best pots that I have come accross were in an English mixer, the slider moved a magnet over read switches. I never had to attend to them in 15yrs. One day I'll make one of these.
Regards WALKER
The only real cure for a noisy pot/switch that i'm aware is a replacement :) Even a $1,50 pot will outperform a noisy one that's been "cleaned".
Lisandro_P I can't agree with you more, unfortunately that's not always an option.
Regards WALKER
Well, if you HAVE to clean them :) use an electronics contact cleaner... these are found on Radio Shacks and similars as a spray with a long nozzle; and removes oxide, grease and dirt without leaving residues after evaporating. I've used a cleaner like this made by a local company ( http://www.edelta.com.ar ) to clean some RCA contacts once and worked great. To clean the pot, you just spray inside, give it a few turns and you're go.
For the record, i'm trying not to use pots if they're subject to a lot of use. For example, the volume control on my preamp will be a small motor interfaced to perform as a rotary encoder and drive the volume digitally. On EQ and other parts where they're less used, it's ok for me.
WD40 works great for cleaning noisy pots. Dont use too much just a very small amount. Dust and dirt can get into pots and the cleaning works. If they are worn in one spot from constant use, replacement is the only real cure.
WD40 for noisy pots?? Oils attracts dirt and dust you might end up making it worst. should try out a proper contact cleaner.As for replacement, I must agree that it's the only cure for noisy pots as it's caused by worn out contacts.
Using WD40 does sound a bit rugged for cleaning pots and I was very dubious when told about it years ago but it does work. I have tried out different types of "proper" electronics cleaning fluids for cleaning pots and found them not as effective. There must be something in WD40 that does the job. Info only offered after many years cleaning all manner of pots with surprisingly good results.
Scratchy sounds are caused oxide dusts accumulation at the pot contacts. The reason you can't hear it after WD40 application is this dusts gets wet down by the oil and are brushed aside. This something similar to vinyl record cleaning.
Remp, I have also tried WD40, years ago, (I suppose that it could be a different formula now days). It seemed to evaporate after about 12 months leaving a waxy deposit. I used to work at a radio station, the mixer pots used to continuously cause problems.
Thanks for the suggestion I might give it another try on some less critical pots.
Regards WALKER
Noisy Switches and POTS
When you are talking about noisy switches we have to consider what types they are before a good method of cleaning can be discussed.
Many push type switches can be disassembled for cleaning when proper care is taken. Caution must be used since these switches may have sliding contacts that are not all the all the same within the switch assembly. I have restored many switches on old equipment in this manner and oxidation can quite easily be removed completely. I have done this mostly for individuals who love their old equipment and do not want to part with it.
If care is taken nothing will break. It is really nice to have various old switches laying around for parts in case you loose or bend a sliding contact.
Once the switch is apart different contact cleaners and polishing compounds can be used. After cleaning a light lubricating type contact restorer can be applied to the contact area to help fight oxidation in the future.
A word of caution: Care must be used when using any type of spray solvent or cleaner. Some will dissolve older plastics and perhaps some newer plastics and after the solvents evaporate parts may glue themselves together. Thus the switch may become totally useable.
For rotary switches contact restoring lubricating type cleaners can be quite effective. There is usually no way to take apart a rotary switch for cleaning.
Many older switches have silver contacts and usually have a very dark coating present were the contacts are closest to the air on the outside of the switch assembly. The dirtier our air gets the worse the switches are.
Again a word of caution: Care must be used when using any type of spray solvent or cleaner. Some will dissolve older plastics and perhaps some newer plastics and after the solvents dry. Thus the switch may become totally useable or glue itself together. Dissolved plastic will also leave a coating on the switch contacts even if the switch still rotates or pushes in and releases properly.
There is really no helper for pots that lasts a real long time. Lubricating contact cleaners will last for perhaps several years if the pot is good generally good condition. Months if it is not. The best thing is to replace these if at all possible.
There is just no easy solution for any of these problems. Some times the best thing to do is to replace the equipment.

be careful doing business with khoalty
4 Attachment(s)
on september 20th, i purchased some E46 M-Technik Splitters (for M-Tech II Bumper) from them for my zhp. didn't know much about khoalty; saw them on here, figured i try them out
big mistake
on september 28th, i still hadn't received my splitters, and i thought that strange, so i shot them an email, inquiring about the hold up. here is their response to me:
I am truely sorry about the delay, there were couple of flaws ont eh splitters so we can waiting for the new ones to come in next week so you get perfect ones, sorry again.
okay cool, i think
they FINALLY arrive on october 9th. and i was excited to put them on
i opened the box, and i should have known by how shoddily they packed the items, that everything wasn't gonna be okay.
it seems like they said to hell with it and sent me the defective splitters anyway!
here are pics
as you can see, one is cracked, the others aren't uniform in their cuts, and they looked like they had been scratched up and repainted.
now i know they go under the car, but sheesh! i'm not familiar with buying mods, but i bet if i got them from bmw, they wouldn't look like this, nor would their explanation for this shoddy quality be this:
(their response):
You can send them back to
925 hale pl, suite b3
chula vista, ca 91914
Rma: your order number
No one predrills holes on the splitters as every bumper is a little different for fitment wise. If we did predrilling, you would have emails like yours all the time saying the holes don't line up and how come this and that. They are not advertised predrilled so I am not sure where it is written down as predrilled. The flaws you see are all covered up when you install them in the car. Unless you are under the car and it is going into the competition for contours de elegance for perfection, none of those things are seen.
i thought his reply was quite assinine and snarky. because it's going to be under the car, i shouldn't expect it to look good before i install it? i mean the guy said contours de elegance!. i can understand the predrilled part, although i expected them to come pre drilled, since i'm not very handy with cutting nor do i have the tools for it. the picture shows them as pre drilled in the ad for them on their site, last i checked.
so they're in the process of refunding me my money, minus my initial shipping cost, which i'm not happy about. you ship me a substandard product and expect me to eat it, all the while KNOWING it was substandard? then they respond with this to add insult to injury:
We don't refund shipping costs, same as Walmart doesn't refund the gas expense of you driving to their store if you buy something at a retail location and drive back again to rerun it. Transport costs are non-refundable.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
yeah, i didn't buy them from walmart, i bought them from you, and i know that nike pays for shipping when you return it's products for defective craftmanship. they even provide a return label with the product, just in case.
needless to say, i won't be doing business with these guys anymore, and you can if you want to. be forewarned, they're not very professional, and i'd question the "khoalty" of any of their other products.
thanks for reading this long rant.
hows the outside look
My deal is that if call someone multiple times during regular business hours and get no answer, to hell with them. OP, your result was forseeable.
My experience with khoalty goes as:
Me: asked questions about angel eyes sold
Them: I'll open up a box of them tomorrow and give you more details and pictures.
Never got a reply even though I messages them again.
Would not do business with them.
you live and learn
I had a similar experience with this company:
Silicon Valley Concepts
They sold me a part that did not fit properly and wanted to charge me $100 restocking fee. They were all **** heads about the entire process and I will never purchase a anything else from them again.
Ordered my corners and sidemarkers from Khoalty, didn't really have any issues. Seemed to take a while to arrive, but nothing that threw any red flags up.
Yeah that's TOTALLY unacceptable.
I've ordered many D2S bulbs, m3 grills and gills, and various LED lights from Khoatly over the last couple years.
Nothing but good service all around.
Sorry to hear about your experience, I hope it doesn't become a trend with them in the future
It seems like khoalty is fine if you just order parts and get good parts. But the second something goes wrong and they need to fix it **** hits the fan
Jesus thats a horror story. I will never buy from khoalty. Its as if these sponsors think they can set these terrible standards for products and if the customer is surprised by this terrible product its completely their fault. The workers for khoalty seem to be some low motivated middle aged men that could care less about any customer disatisfaction.
btw, im sorry for your experience with khoalty, but i haven't had any issues with ordering from them and i would order from them again in the future.
see this is the thing.
live and learn.
I've ordered from khoalty many times. No issues.
I've ordered numerous parts from Khoalty and have always had great service and no issues with products.
Hope you're ultimately able to find what you're looking for.
Many threads before you have taken the same path. They come up often with bad service.
Would you search here before you order?
Might have helped.
hope you get it resolved, Khoalty is really hit or miss.
thanks. i wish i would have thought of this
i learned today. lol
We are not zappos or amazon, we don't have enough money coming in per order to offer a refund of shipping, we have however been able to brush by with free shipping at 150, this gives us just enough margin to keep the business going and patiently waiting to add more products by saving our money, and enough to give free shipping in the US via ground service. We think this is pretty decent, if we could include return labels which each product, we would, same as offering free shipping at any level, but our margin simply is not there for us to operate like that. Same with the phone issue, if we jacked our prices up like pretty much everyone else online, we would be able to hire someone full-time for phones, we just don't have the money to do this. We reply to emails quickly, from mobile, while we are in the office, and even while we are out off the clock, we do this to balance out not being able to take inbound phone calls.
The product is listed as not pre-drilled, and we have a short sentence or two on our recommended installation procedure. People use 3M tape to install full width lips on their cars, so most customers use 3M tape for this, if we pre-drilled them it would cause way more problems than it would solve, there are 'nipples' on the splitter shown above where the factory, likely the same position as the OE splitters (if made?), recommends pre-drilling.
After your first email, you explained you want a full refund, with no restocking fee, that they were not pre-drilled (the picture will be changed to reflect this, though the text already does, not an excuse, just an explanation again) as you were lead to believe, and that you shouldn't have waited so long for shipping. The picture, we simply didn't really notice it to be with the holes drilled. We shouldn't have mistakes like that, but since it's a less than commonly sold product, it got overlooked, sorry.
Our reply was explaining that we don't have them pre-drilled, that the flaws would be completely hidden unless removed from the car after installation, we also included our return address at the top of this email. We answered your issue, explained how we felt, and offered the refund. The next email was you asking for a full shipping and handling refund. That just is not our policy, sorry that you're unhappy with this, hopefully there's something we can do about this in the near future, but honestly it's rarely come up as an issue. We were not justifying anything, not attacking or badgering you in any way, just explaining our position. We are not, and never had mentioned, any restocking fee.
The walmart analogy was apparently not as clear to you as it was in our head. When you buy something from any retail store in real life, you have to go to the store, purchase it, bring it home. When you want to return it, you have to go to the store, and return it. That's just how we see things right now, we can't afford to, if you're still following this analogy, go to your house and pick up the products. I know other businesses do this, but they also make a boat load of money, to be honest, we really don't.
I understand you're upset and let down with the quality of product you received, which is why we had, and still have, no issue with accepting a return, we just need the product and we will give you a full refund. Sorry that the way we are going about this isn't the way you prefer, but again, we replied in one email explaining everything and offered the refund as you requested, as soon as we get the splitters in we will process the refund.
Sorry again, for letting down your expectations.

Except it is not a joke any more. The latest revelation from America, where the fast collapsing telecoms giant WorldCom has admitted that it faked its profit figures to the tune of billions, could well be the biggest-ever accounting scandal - bigger even than Enron, and making the shenanigans of our own Robert Maxwell 10 years ago very small beer indeed.
Just as Maxwell moved from being an arcane dispute about boring numbers to the hottest topic on the political agenda when it was discovered that he had rifled the pension funds to cover his losses, so too does WorldCom pose a threat to us all.
It and the others at Enron, Lucent, Cendant and even the mighty IBM have totally destroyed investors' faith in the numbers. That has sent share prices reeling. Each downward twist in the stock market makes us all potentially poorer through our pension funds.
It cuts deeper than that, though. Ultimately, people buy shares because the economy is doing well, profits are rising and they want their slice of it. What is dawning, with agonising slowness, on the American public, and indeed the rest of the world, is that the great American boom of the past few years, the longest expansion in world history, a time when published profits went through the roof, could turn out to be the world's biggest con trick. The great American boom is, in fact, the great American myth.
NOW Americans are beginning to realise what Henry Kauffman, perhaps the greatest Wall Street guru of the 1980s, meant when he said a few months back that in the five years to 2001 the American corporate sector destroyed value, it did not create it.
There are two strands to this. The first is the one now so much in the public eye - that published profits were not what they seemed, because companies hyped up the figures. Much of this was legal, but most of it was immoral. And it was not as if no one knew what was happening, it was just that they preferred not to listen.
Jim Clark, the founder of Netscape, was feted as a hero, not a villain when he said: 'I don't understand why business journalists expect to be told the truth. The share price is too important for that.'
Others who did sound warnings were dismissed as old fuddy-duddies who did not understand the brave new world. Warren Buffett, the legendary American investor, was quoted in the London Evening Standard in April 1999 when he said: 'A significant and growing number of otherwise high-grade managers have come to the view that it is OK to manipulate earnings to satisfy what they believe are Wall Street's desires. Indeed, many CEOs think this kind of manipulation is not only OK but actually their duty.' Still, people took no notice even when he said the fakery inflated profits by $70bn.
But the second strand is yet more fundamental. The fakery is not confined to company accounts. All the American government's figures for national economic growth are suspect too. If this is true, there was no American boom, no productivity miracle and no brave new world.
The greatest authority for this is Alan Greenspan himself, the chief of the Federal Reserve. He said in January last year - though again no one paid any attention - that as much as 18% of claimed American economic growth did not exist. He did not put it quite like that - he never does - but he drew attention to the distortion caused by what is known as hedonics - the habit of counting improvement as a boost to income.
In layman's terms, if you buy a computer for £1,000 which is twice as powerful as the one you paid £1,000 for three years ago, the Americans put a value on this extra power and add £1,000 to the national income figures. Given that every new product, almost without exception, is better than what went before, the distortion is huge. Arguably, it is harmless fun as long as only economists look at the figures - but it quickly becomes disastrous if, like the Americans, you start to believe it is real money and think you can spend it.
EUROPEANS don't do this, which is why respected City analysts, like our columnist Andrew Smithers, have reworked the American numbers and found they paint a much less happy picture. Increasingly, it is argued that, far from having a productivity miracle in the crucial late 1990s, US output per head measured the European way was the lowest for decades, profits instead of soaring were falling, and the trillions poured into technology were wasted.
This is chilling stuff. Because even if it is only half true it means that the stock markets, even after their falls of the past two years, are still massively over-valued, and should by rights fall by a further 40%, or adjust in a more gentle long-term way by moving sideways for 10 years while the rest of the economy catches up. But the problem is that it is not just private investors' pockets which would feel the pinch; it would also have a profound effect on the financial institutions.
Nowhere is this more true than in the City. The Square Mile has grown fat on the back of a 20-year stock market boom, and its prosperity has made the London area the most prosperous region in Europe. But all its great engines, the investment banks, the fund managers, the insurance companies and the pension funds, have become used to rising markets. If share prices continue to fall, let alone fall as much as they might, for any prolonged period, the giant City bubble itself could burst - leading to wholesale closures and job losses on a scale which makes even the current blood-letting seem minor.
It is an apocalyptic vision, and everyone hopes earnestly that it will not come true. But the idea that it will is real enough and as long as that fear persists, then things will get worse. Far from having had our economic slowdown and preparing to pull out of it, it could so easily be that the worst is still to come.

Cannabis may help epileptics
Some experts are now calling for fresh research into the potential of cannabis-like compounds to help alleviate the condition.
Researchers from Germany found that natural brain chemicals which resemble cannabis extracts can interrupt a process which can trigger a seizure.
There have been trials of cannabis compounds in MS and cancer patients.
There are reports dating from the 15th century talking about the use of cannabis to ease the symptoms of epilepsy.
However, there have been few organised trials in humans in recent years, even though cannabis or its extracts are being evaluated in trials against several other illness types illness.
Brain chemicals
The researchers, from the Max-Planck Institut in Munich studies mice bred to suffer a key feature of epilepsy in humans.
This is 'excitotoxicity' - abnormal stimulation of brain cells by an excessive quantity of a chemical called glutamate.
In the mutant mice, a substance called kainic acid works in a very similar way, and the researchers used this to find out if cannabinoid chemicals could somehow interrupt the process or protect the brain cells involved.
They found, in the mouse brain at least, that key receptors on the surface of the brain cell, which normally respond to contact with cannabinoid-like chemicals produced naturally in the body, appeared to protect against these acid-induced seizures.
However, while the same receptors are found in the human brain, there is no evidence that seizures could be stopped by applying similar cannabinoids in a therapy.
The researchers describe their finding as a 'promising therapeutic target' for epilepsy drug research.
Professor Roger Pertwee, an researcher into cannabinoids at Aberdeen University, told BBC News Online that fresh studies into their promise against epilepsy were overdue.
He said: 'There is always a need for new drugs to treat epilepsy, and there have now been sufficient animal studies to justify research in humans with epilepsy.'

The nave at Vzelay had no triforium, nor was there a tribune over the aisles.
These galleries and arcades may be regarded as the original of the triforium.
In the triforium, each bay contains two arches, supported by clustered columns with foliaged capitals.
There is no triforium, and the transepts do not project beyond the nave.
The obstruction on the south side of the triforium has been already mentioned.
The church is Romanesque and dark with a lofty clerestory but no triforium.
The detail of this triforium is, notwithstanding, all pure and good.
The arches of the triforium are very early, and are rude and massive.
There is no triforium, its place being occupied with panelling.
There is no triforium, and the clerestory is somewhat contracted.

Gas Gauge Flying
Help me please!
1996 Beretta, 3.1 liter
Have had the following repairs in the past two months: new radiator, alternator, pads, shoes, cylinders, thermostat, starter.
Got the car back and was driving 65 on the freeway. Gas was at a little over a quarter tank. All of a sudden the gas gauge "flies" to over full mark and sits there then eventually comes back down to accurate level. When it did that, the Service engine soon light starts blinking and eventually that just stayed on. I continued to drive it to my destination and the service engine soon light started blinking again, the gas gauge is still flying and all of a sudden the car starts spitting and sputtering. I stopped at a gas station, put 5 bucks gas in it and stood there listening to it. It kept stuttering and spitting just idling and when I finished driving less than 2 miles to my destination it was stuttering the whole way there.
You really need to take the car to a qualified repair shop to retrieve the codes. The sputtering is probably a misfire and flashing the SES light. With an extreme misfire, you are dumping raw fuel into the exhaust and this will damage your convertor $$$. If this is the case, have the car towed.
These problems may or may not be related.
Good luck
Thanks but do you have any idea or suggestion on what it may be? I've had it taken to my mechanic but I haven't heard from him.
This may or may not be the code you have. If it is a misfire it could be something as simple as a spark plug, wire, corroded coil tower... or it could be something major with the engine.
Anyone can guess as to what is wrong, but without diagnosing, it's only a guess.
Thanks. Could it possibly be fuel pump, fuel filter, O2 sensor?
It could. If your fuel pressure/volume is low that will cause a misfire.
If the gauge is jumping up at the same time the engine is running bad. I would "guess" you have a ground issue. The fuel pump requires a ground and the gauge requires a ground. If this is a poor ground nether would function properly. This guess is "not" a diagnoses just a guess based on your desciption
flying gas gage
Nothing against your mechanic, but you need to take the vehicle to either your local G.M. dealer or a very qualified independant repair shop.
Local mechanics don't always have access to latest bulletins and revised
diagnosis info..Somebody who works on mainly G.M. products will have better info on common problems with this car. It will cost more for accurate diagnosis, but somebody just throwing parts at it can get real
expensive in a hurry !!!!!!!!!!

John Walter I read history at the University of Cambridge. After a period as a Thouron scholar at the University of Pennsylvania where I took an MA in American History, I returned to Cambridge, where I held the Eileen Power Memorial Studentship in Social and Economic History, and undertook doctoral research on radical movements in the English Revolution and the tradition of popular protest in early modern England. I was appointed as Lecturer in History in 1976 and Professor in 2000. I research and publish in the field of early modern British history. My book on crowd actions in the English Revolution, Understanding Popular Violence in the English Revolution, completed with an award under the British Academy Humanities Research Board scheme, was awarded the Royal Historical Society's Whitfield Prize. In 2017, I was honoured to be presented with a festschrift edited by Michael J. Braddick & Phil Withington, Popular Culture And Political Agency in Early Modern England and Ireland: Essays in Honour of John Walter (Woodbridge, The Boydell Press, 2017).
Arising from my work on the history of food, my next book will be on the Tichborne Dole and its changing meaning from its medieval inception to the present day. Apparently first noted in the painting of 1672, myth claims the dole to have originated in a 12th century bequest which carried a curse on the Tichborne family, if ever the family failed to distribute the dole. This curse which threatened no male heirs becomes entangled in the nineteenth century with the cause célèbre of the Tichborne Claimant. The book traces the related fortunes of family and Dole up to the present day, the changing meanings and representations of the Dole (including in one of the first British early silent films), and the way it comes to be understood, especially after World War II, to stand for a particular vision of Englishness.
My central research interest is popular political culture in early modern England. This is research which has focused on crowd actions but which seeks to integrate the various branches of historical research social, economic, political and cultural. In this work I endeavour to bring together intensive archival research, often with a micro—historical focus, with theoretical interests in the nature of political society, the nature of early modern state and society, and the spaces therein for the exercise of popular political agency. This has resulted both in a series of articles, some of which have been collected in my 2006 Crowds and Popular Politics as well as in my 1999 monograph Understanding Popular Violence. My most recent work in this field seeks to re-integrate the sources and methodologies of social and cultural history employed in a social history of politics with a re-invigorated political history. Within this work, I am especially interested to think imaginatively about the forms and focus that political action might take beyond the politics of the crowd: hence my currents research interests extend to the politics of food and of gesture, on which I am currently publishing.

While his place among the soccer pantheon will be argued until his kids retire, David Beckham's status as one of the world's most stylish athletes can never be questioned. From hip hop to hipster to haute couture, Becks shows that he can pull off pretty much whatever sartorial choices come his way.
A young and fresh-faced Beckham in 1995, at the beginning of his career with Manchester United, going for the blond surfer look .
First Beckham gets the faux hawk, then we all get the faux hawk.
Only someone as sartorially advanced as Becks can pull off the Samurai-drug-lord look, like he did here at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards. Never try this at home.
OK, this was a miss, but he still looks better than any civilian in a football jersey and pads.
It's hard to go wrong with the classic "I just got off of a motorcycle" look. Beckham channeling Brando circa The Wild One.
Looking dapper in 2008 with this tailored peak lapel rig. During a time when men were holding on to the baggy suit like grim death, Becks knew that slim was the way of the future.
It's sort of pop star meets the professor. But if you're taking the kids out for a stroll, might as well own it.
The scarf can be a risky move, but with a simple gray suit like this, it's pure gold, or in this case, silver.
With this glen plaid double breasted suit, Beckham is already rocking our advice for fall 2012 in early 2011. Clearly a man who can see into the sartorial future.
When dressing for a royal wedding, you can do worse than to copy this look. Just remember to take the bunny out of the hat when you're done with it.
Whether he's in a three-piece suit, or whether he looks like he just moseyed in off the ranch, David Beckham knows how clothes should fit.
If Frank Sinatra were still alive, we'd be worried that Becks just mugged him for his suit.
When you look like a movie star, why not hang out with movie stars? Here Beckham rocks his pitch perfect tudo at the 2012 Vanity Fair Oscar party.
During the spring of 2012, Beckham started to channel his inner Williamsburg hipster.
And then he just went full-blown Brooklyn bartender.
All it takes is a cardigan, jeans, and a crisp white shirt to be the most stylish dude in the room.
Dear Elvis Costello, apologies for stealing your glasses. It's just that I look so damn much better in them. Sincerely, Becks.
Beckham explains to Pau Gasol the finer points of a patterned crew-neck sweater.
When Beckham pops 'round to the pub on a drizzly day for a pint, you better believe he brings his flat cap A-game.
World famous soccer star or international man of mystery? Why can't he be both?
Just another day showing China how to rock a suit. You know how it is.
Seriously, this rig did more for Anglo-Chinese relations than any trade agreement ever could.
Dad, how come no one ever looks as cool as we do?
Dig the sneaks Becks. Yet another hipster-infused masterpiece.
Dude does denim like a champ.

Folks, we have a new frontrunner in Best Picture. Over the weekend, the 27th annual Producers Guild Awards were given out and The Big Short pulled the upset, taking the illustrious Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures. The Producers Guild of America (or PGA) are the best guild when it comes to forecasting Oscar, so the odds now favor the Academy Awards citing The Big Short in Picture, as opposed to Spotlight, the previous frontrunner. It's a bit of a surprise, but perhaps one we should have seen coming, frankly. The more you think about it, the more sense it makes.
Basically, if you go by PGA history, the winner here is what wins with Oscar. You can make the case even that not only has The Big Short now locked this up, but Amy has done the same in Best Documentary Feature and Inside Out in Best Animated Feature as well. Best Picture is where it really matters though, so if you're trying to figure out the Academy Awards, the smart play is to predict The Big Short now. If it picks up the Screen Actors Guild award for Best Ensemble (beating Spotlight once again in the process), that will 100% wrap it up. We'll see what happens there, but if you don't have this one as your number one in Best Picture now, you're ignoring statistics, plain and simple.
Here now are all of the winners (with nominees included) from the 27th annual Producers Guild Awards…

*The Big Short*
Producers – Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner WINNER

Live Long Your Memory Cards
Memory cards are the lifeline of digital cameras, so it's imperative to prolong their life as much as you can. Below are some things you can do to accomplish just that. Read on!
Avoid Deleting Images One at a Time
The more you reduce the number of erase cycles, the longer your memory card will live to store your pictures. In other words, it's better to erase all of your images at one time after uploading them to your computer, instead of deleting them one at a time. Similarly, the fewer times you add or remove data to your card, the better off it will be. Deleting images from your card while the card is still in your camera can actually prolong its life quite a bit.
Safely Remove Hardware
When your camera is hooked up to your computer, make sure you use the Safely Remove Hardware option in your system tray to remove the card, card reader or camera. If you don't do this, you could not only damage the card, but also lose the data stored on it.
Remove Images Before the Card Gets Full
Some cards can behave in peculiar ways. If you fully load the cards with images, you'll increase the likelihood of the card malfunctioning. Therefore, it's best to regularly remove the images from your cards and store them on your computer or burn them to a CD, rather than waiting until they are full.
Reformat Cards at Regular Intervals
Since memory cards don't have a defragging system like you have on your computer, the best way to keep them in optimum condition is to reformat them once every few days. This will wipe out any data, images, file names, etc. on the card and it will set it up fresh for your camera. Now, how many times you need to do this depends on your usage patterns. If you use your camera frequently, you should reformat it at least once a week. If you use it infrequently, once a month should do. Ideally, it's advisable to reformat your cards every time you download all of your images onto your computer. One more thing: formatting the card in your camera, rather than someone else's, helps, especially if the other camera is of a different make than yours. In cases when you do reformat your cards on another camera, make sure you reformat it again on your camera after you have all of the images saved on your computer.
Power Off Before Removing the Card
For those of you who read your camera's user manual, this tip isn't new. But, to those who don't, please note that it's best to switch off your camera before removing the memory card to either replace it with another one or to use it on a card reader to download the images. Either way, it's best to do this when the voltage fluctuation is kept at bay.
Update When Needed
Manufacturers are always fine tuning camera software and fixing several bugs along the way. Therefore, it's important to keep tabs on those updates to keep your camera up to date with any fixes for errors or problems that are identified with a camera. Some of these can relate to the camera's interaction with the memory card.
Keep Your Batteries in Optimum Condition
If your batteries die on you, that could result in card errors. This usually happens when an image is not fully written to a card. The best way to avoid this problem is to keep an eye on the battery power and either recharge them or change them over for a fresh set before they completely run down.
Don't Switch Off Too Soon After the Shoot
When you're taking pictures at a constant clip (this is particularly true when using the "burst" or "continuous shooting" mode), make sure you don't switch off your camera too soon after the shoot, because you could lose your images and even find yourself with a system error. Cameras need time to write all of the data you've taken to the memory card. If you've taken numerous images very quickly, your camera will be buffering those images and that requires some time. Some high-end cameras continue to buffer even after they are switched off, but that's not the case for every camera.
Store Cards Properly
This goes without saying, but some people do abuse their cards by not storing them properly. If you are not using your cards for a long period of time, it's best to store them in a plastic casing to give that extra layer of protection. Also, make sure you keep them away from liquids and extreme temperatures. And yes, don't drop, bend or puncture them. It's best not to expose them to electromagnetic currents as well.
Here's to a long and prosperous life for your memory cards!

Written and directed by Michael Haneke
Rated M, 127 minutes
Selected city and suburban cinemas (opens next week)
MICHAEL HANEKE'S last two films, this one and The White Ribbon (2009), have both won the top prize at Cannes, something very few directors have achieved. Amour is nominated for five Oscars, including best picture and best foreign language film, and it has already won the Golden Globe in the foreign category - as well as slew of other awards. It is a mighty achievement but, before I look at why, let's take a hard look at its creator.

|French, English
Georges and Anne are in their eighties. They are cultivated, retired music teachers. Their daughter, who is also a musician, lives abroad with her family. One day, Anne has an attack. The couple's bond of love is severely tested.
Full synopsis
Haneke has risen to the top of his profession by torturing audiences. He is reputed to do the same with actors but the performances in his films are often remarkable - none more so than here. He was born in Austria in 1942 and his parents were both actors. They could not master the roles of parenthood, so Michael was raised by an aunt, which may help to explain his treatment of actors. That aunt's death at 92 was part of the inspiration for this film.
The harsh demands he makes of audiences are complex. He has specialised in stories in which ordinary people are hit with horrendous, random violence - understandable, given where and when he was born. He came to movies late. His first feature, The Seventh Continent, came out in 1989 when he was 47. It showed a middle-class Austrian family committing suicide, after flushing their money down the toilet. He told his producer at the time that the latter scene would upset audiences the most - a good indication of his misanthropy.
In Benny's Video (1992) and Funny Games (1997), he explored the corrupting influence of film itself - specifically American films. He believes that modern films disempower audiences by spoon-feeding us. He has argued for ''a cinema of insistent questions, instead of false (because too quick) answers''.
''I'm trying to rape the viewer into independence,'' he said in 2006. After the early films, I understand what he means, although the turn of phrase is unfortunate.
None of this prepared me for Amour, a film of infinite compassion, set within an elegant Parisian apartment. It is the story of the last days of an old couple, Georges (Jean-Louis Trintignant) and Anne (Emmanuelle Riva), who are devoted to each other. The first scene shows us where the story will end. The rest of the film is a flashback that tries to answer the question of what to do for a loved one who is suffering. Such a simple premise, such a terrifying dilemma.
Georges and Anne, both in their 80s, are retired music teachers. We see them first at a concert, in an audience. The shot from the stage never cuts to the pianist. We hear his arrival and the start of his performance but Haneke gives us only the faces of the audience. This is a kind of manifesto shot, in the sense that Haneke's films are all about the audience. He is notoriously uncommunicative in interviews but he has given a few pointers over the years. One is ''the audience completes the film by thinking about it''. He dislikes giving explanations of his work. He says he does not have good communication with the author - which is to say, himself.
At breakfast the next day, Anne has a turn, a minute of blankness where she hears nothing that Georges says. Worried, he hobbles off to get help but she recovers, briefly. A few scenes later, she is brought home in a wheelchair after a stroke and an unsuccessful operation. The nightmare has begun, especially when she makes him promise never to send her back to hospital.
It is hard to overstate how beautiful and terrible this film becomes. The love between them is in the degree of kindness but it is hard to be kind in the face of great disability and physical deterioration. When their daughter Eva (Isabelle Huppert), comes from London - another musician - Georges dismisses her interference. He has time to help only one woman and that is the one lying in bed wearing a nappy and with a bent-up hand.
Darius Khondji shot the film and his camera rarely steps into the fray. He sets up at a distance, on a tripod, without moving the camera - like the Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu, whose work this resembles. Haneke gives us what he calls ''clarifying distance''. A few critics have labelled this innately superior, which may have been true of the younger Haneke.
He is still torturing audiences and actors but now he includes himself. At the age of 70, Haneke has discovered a solemn regard for the grandeur of life, through these two characters. Love conquers all, even misanthropes.

Survey: Health insurance costs still outpace everything else, but slowing slightly
This is the first time since 2001 that the survey has projected cost increases less than 10 percent for any type of plan, so a 9.9 percent increase can almost be seen as a victory. Employers are looking for ways to cut the rising cost of health insurance. Buck has been conducting its survey since 1999. The numbers are consistent with projections for Iowa, though perhaps a little higher, according to research from David P. Lind Benchmark, a consulting firm in Clive. (Des Moines Register)
Mercy Air Care celebrates milestone

In honor of this silver anniversary Mercy Medical Center is hosting a community-wide celebration on May 5 at 6 p.m on the riverfront near the Marina Inn in South Sioux City.

National News
Don Berwick, Jim Capretta debate shifting healthcare costs
Dr. Don Berwick, former administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, and Jim Capretta, who serviced as associate director at the White House Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush, took sharply different stances on what shifting costs to patients could mean during a wide-ranging debate hosted by the Pioneer Institute. Berwick, now a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, called the idea of giving patients more "skin in the game" a "vicious idea." But Capretta, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, said the idea has had dramatic results in some cases. (Boston Globe)
Next generation of doctors sees gloomy future
A majority of young doctors feel pessimistic about the future of the U.S. healthcare system, with the new healthcare law cited as the main reason, according to a survey released to Reuters on Wednesday. Nearly half of the 500 doctors surveyed think the Affordable Care Act will have a negative effect on their practices, compared with 23 percent who think it will be positive. The survey was commissioned by The Physicians Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes the work of practicing doctors through grants, research and policy impact studies. (Chicago Tribune)
Vital signs by phone, then, with a click, a doctor's appointment
If ever an industry were ready for disruption, it is the American health care industry. Americans spend about $7,600 a year per person on health care, one in two adults lives with a chronic disease and the average wait time to see a doctor in a metropolitan area is 20 days. Entrepreneurs have responded by starting health care technology companies that are changing the way we interact with the entire system. (New York Times)
Companies belittled risks of Risperdal, slapped with huge fine
Johnson & Johnson and a subsidiary have been fined about $1.2 billion by an Arkansas judge after a jury found that the companies had downplayed risks associated with Risperdal, an antipsychotic drug. In a verbal ruling from the bench, Circuit Judge Tim Fox held that Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. committed nearly 240,000 violations of the state's Medicaid fraud law — one for each Risperdal prescription issued to state Medicaid patients over a 3 1/2-year period. Each violation carried a $5,000 fine. He also fined the companies $11 million for more than 4,500 violations of the state's deceptive practices laws. (Los Angeles Times)

But not completely absent, so here is our weekly round up of what is happening in MotoGP and WSBK. And in this case, further abroad.
