Ukraine deal set to end conflict, lead to early elections
A deal in Kiev promises to end an outbreak of violence, which has seen over 75 people killed in the past few days.
Embattled President Viktor Yanukovych and the leaders of the three opposition parties agreed on Friday (21 February) to a number of demands in a wider effort to stabilise the country, which has been gripped by three months of unrest.

The deal calls for constitutional reforms, a coalition and national unity government, a law to restore the 2004 constitution, presidential elections by December, an independent investigation into the violence, and a promise not to impose a state of emergency.
The parliament has already voted to restore the 2004 constitution which weakens presidential powers.
Yanukovych has himself declared his intention to initiate early presidential elections.
Foreign ministers from Germany, France and Poland helped broker the agreement in Kiev.
All three released a joint statement commending "the parties for their courage and commitment to the agreement and call for an immediate end to all violence and confrontation in Ukraine."
US ambassador to Ukraine Geoff Pyatt congratulated the three foreign ministers.
"This is a hopeful breakthrough," he said.
EU council president Herman Van Rompuy also welcomed the agreement. "The EU continues to stand ready to support Ukraine," he said.
"Implementation is key for the sake of country and its people," tweeted EU neighbourhood commissioner Stefan Fuele.
But not everyone is happy.
The leader of the militant, Pravy Sector, rejected Yanukovych's offer of a December presidential election, describing the leader and his close entourage as criminals.
The militant group, which is not among the three signatories, wants the interior minister arrested after snipers shot dead Maidan protestors in the square despite a ceasefire agreement.
Dramatic video footage posted online on Thursday show demonstrators on Institutska Street near Independence Square being shot. The shots continued to ring out as people rushed to drag away the wounded.
Ukraine's Health Ministry says 77 people are dead. Eleven of the dead are police officers.
The sudden upsurge in violence caught EU leaders off guard with member states promising punitive measures in response.
Targeted EU sanctions against those behind the violence announced Thursday remain in place despite the compromise agreement thrashed out in the early hours in Kiev.
Names have yet to be announced with Brussels officials still waiting for the sanction list to be sent from the EU delegation in Kiev, said an EU diplomat.
"It is difficult for me to say where we are at with the list of names but as I far as I understand it should be coming to Brussels from Kiev," said the diplomat.

Aug 1, 2013 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorA team from Oakland, Calif., blanked the Riverton U.S. Energy fastpitch team 9-0 Wednesday in the first game of the Western ASA Under-18 tournament in Salem, Ore.
The contest was the first of two in pool play for the Riverton team.
Riverton played the host Salem squad on Thursday in the second game of pool play. Bracket play started Thursday afternoon.
"We just did not play well," Riverton manager Mark Stone said. "Salem will be looking to get a victory in front of their home crowd."
The tournament ends Saturday with the championship game.
Oakland, Calif., 9, Riverton 0
Stone said six illegal pitches were called on starting pitcher McKinnley Earnest.
"That lead to us unraveling," Stone said. "I'm not making excuses, but she has pitched that way all year and nothing has been called. The umpire was all over her on a technicality. We have to learn to adjust and adapt."
Stone said Hannah Soll smacked the ball all over the field against the California team.
Soll had a single and a double.
"Hannah just missed a home run by a few feet on the double," Stone said.
Morgan Brown had a base hit. Earnest finished with a double.
"Several other players hit the ball well, but right at someone," Stone said. "It was just one of those days where everything went right for them, and everything went wrong for us."
Riverton finished with four hits, no strikeouts and two walks. Oakland tallied six hits, four walks and four strikeouts.

Telefonica Deutschland Grabs Top Spot By Buying E-Plus - But The Real Challenges Remain The Same
Posted by Dan Bieler on July 23, 2013
- 228 Recommendations
- 0 comments
KPN has agreed to sell E-Plus to Telefónica Deutschland for an implied valuation of €8.1 billion. The transaction will combine the No. 3 and No. 4 carriers in the German mobile market to create the new No. 1 carrier based on a subscriber market share of 37% and 43 million subscribers (although only a No. 3 based on a 32% revenue market share).
While the deal brings a variety of opportunities, Telefónica will still face an assortment of challenges:
- Telefónica believes that the deal will unlock synergies of an estimated €5.0 billion to €5.5 billion. About 70% of these synergies will come from opex savings and 30% from capex savings. In addition to processes rationalisation and reduced SG&A expenses, financial, and tax synergies, a stronger competitive position from increased scale, site consolidation, and rationalisation will play a major role. Telefónica is planning to reduce around 14,000 sites. In total, about half of all opex synergies come from network-related savings. This form of network consolidation will be bad news for network infrastructure vendors like Nokia, Ericsson, and Huawei as consolidation hits the largest European market for network infrastructure.
- The deal adds ample capacity to address high-quality data services. Customers will benefit from the best high-speed mobile and fixed experience from one common nationwide LTE network and increased efficiency by leveraging the scalable transmission agreement with Deutsche Telekom. Telefónica does have a point. In 2012, smartphone connections as a percentage of mobile connections stood at 27% in Germany versus an EU average of 34%, according to Telefónica Deutschland.
- Telefónica counts on incremental value from cross- and upselling. Telefónica points to the large and complementary distribution network as ideal distribution channels and a platform for outstanding customer service. Its pitch to business focuses on ICT and cloud solutions. Telefónica plans to target the SME opportunity. The combined entity will retain a multibrand strategy serving different customer needs, something E-Plus has had years of experience with.
- This deal is unlikely to alter the fundamental challenges Telefónica faces. The combined entity will no doubt benefit from leveraging Telefónica's global capabilities. In particular, Telefonica can add value in the areas of digital innovation and scale. But only time will tell whether this deal will be a great success for Telefónica, KPN, and mobile customers in Germany. One thing is certain: Life will get even tougher for Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone. And it has already been very tough in recent years. All carriers clearly need to come up with new ideas about how to defend their turf.
- What really matters is the long-term vision and strategy of Telefónica. How does this deal, which ultimately focuses on scale, fit into Telefónica's strategy? What are Telefónica's real competitors going forward? Yes, Telefónica needs to compete with the other carriers, in particular a combined Vodafone/Kabel Deutschland. But the true challenge is coming from the likes of Google, Amazon.com, Apple, retailers, financial services providers, and entertainment houses, as well as from IT services firms like IBM, Capgemini, and T-Systems.
It is hardly news that carriers face massive challenges as their business model remains under attack. It is high time for them to radically rethink their approach to customer data analytics, customer experience, and innovation. Who will survive this challenging environment? Only those carriers that become much leaner and much faster moving. At this stage, I am not convinced that many carriers can manage this transition successfully. Scale is only a small part of needed adjustments. Changing "telco culture" to more resemble the retail, financial services, entertainment, and IT services industries in terms of customer experience is the much larger and urgent task. And this can't be addressed by simply combining two carriers.
The deal represents a 9.0x multiple on E-Plus' EBITDA FY 2013. KPN will retain a 17.6% stake in the combined E-Plus and Telefónica Deutschland. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2014, following clearance from the relevant authorities.

One thing people don't get is that even bad jokes are hard to write. This is why I don't write comedy, or hardly ever try. It's always hardest to be funny when you're trying.
Three things must be in place for your jokes to work. You need context, you need delivery, but you also need a receptive audience. Some people find Jimmy Carr hilarious, but he can be incredibly offensive — and he's certainly not playing to a crowd that would enjoy... Cavemen?
Now, I didn't set out to explain what humor is, but I did write the ten awful vignettes below, which — I hope — will deepen your appreciation of stand-up comedians and the people who write for them. Before you heckle anyone, remember this: it's not you upon that stage.
A man walks into a bar in climbing gear.
"You a mountain climber?" the bartender asks.
"Yes," says the man, "I'm climbing Mount Sobriety."
"So what're you doing in here?" asks the bartender.
"Gotta start at the bottom and make my way up."
A femur, a driver's license and a dirty sock walk into a bar.
The bartender commits himself to a mental hospital.
Three bartenders walk into a bar.
"You guys mountain climbers?" the bartender asks.
There is a shootout and Catwoman sneaks out the back.
Four bartenders walk into a morgue.
Zero bartenders walk out.
Five bartenders walk into an abandoned hospital.
Six bartenders walk out.
Six bartenders walk into the Amsterdam zoo.
The vultures are not amused.
(Have you ever stood really close to a vulture? They stink.)
Seven bartenders walk into a peep show.
The vultures are still not amused.
Eight bartenders walk into the Taj Mahal.
Somehow, this too fails to please the vultures.
Nine bartenders break into the vulture cage at the Amsterdam zoo.
"Fly, feathered friends, take to the skies!" They bellow in a paroxysm of fellow-feeling for those ugly birds that smell like a century of broken hopes. "You are free!"
Says one vulture to the other: "You take the four on the left."
Ten mountain climbers walk into a bar.
"Did you hear the news about those bartenders in the zoo, yesterday?" One of them asks the bartender.
"No, I didn't. What happened?" the bartender asks.
"They tried to turn all the vultures loose, and boy, those birds were hungry, 'cos they swallowed them whole. It was a regular smorgasbord. All they left was a femur, a driver's license and a dirty sock."

Wednesday, April 14, 1999 Published at 15:05 GMT 16:05 UK
World: Asia-Pacific
Poverty increasing in Mongolia
An official survey of living standards in Mongolia shows that more than one-third of the country is living in poverty. The survey set the poverty line at an income of less than eighteen dollars a month in the capital, Ulan Bator, and slightly lower in rural areas, where the cost of living is less. The new figures show that while poverty has increased in urban areas, it has decreased slightly in the countryside.
The head of the National Statistical Office, which conducted the survey, said the gap between rich and poor had grown.
Correspondents say that a poor harvest last year coupled with a sharp drop in the price of Mongolia's two main exports -- copper and cashmere -- mean that the situation is unlikely to improve soon.

Water Heater rusty leak
1 Attachment(s)
I just noticed my 2 year old water heater has a slow rusty leak coming from behind the pressure relief valve. I called the GE help line and the guy said to remove the valve and put teflon tape on it but but couldn't explain why it was rusty. I'm wondering if there is more of a problem to it than that. I included a picture. I'd really appreciate any help.
May have more to do with your water.
Ever notice rust stains in your toilet or tub?
Is it a steel or glass lined tank?
Do you have old steel supply lines?
Do you have a water softner?
Make sure if you intend on removing the valve and repairing to get a full description of the procedure on this site. If not you may get burnt real bad.
Thanks. I don't have any rust in the tubs or toilets. No water softener and the supply lines are copper. I'm not sure if its steel or glass lined.
Right now the lining is the last thing you should be concerned with just keep it simple and stick with the valve leak worry about everything else later after the leak is repaired. Relax it looks like a minor repair at this time and if it's not you might get a new one under warranty.
Thanks. I'll take care of the leak and keep an eye on it.
Thanks for the advice! Will do it today.

Hello, everyone!
I am currently writing this on the way to the Horizon League tournament in Valparaiso, Indiana! The team had practice this morning then hopped right on the bus (with some Chipotle in between) before heading to Valpo to watch the game between UIC and Green Bay, the winner of which we play tomorrow.
We finished the regular season in second place in the conference behind Valparaiso and were able to clinch the No. 2 seed with our two wins over Detroit last weekend. We only ended up playing the scheduled doubleheader on Saturday against Detroit due to bad weather since three hours of continuous rain is not really conducive to softball! That was a bummer because Sunday was supposed to be our Senior Day, as well. Stevie Bradich, Lauren Arceneaux, and Seana Stillson were disappointed that they could not play but were at least happy that it was not the end of their season.
So instead, we ended up having an unofficial senior day on Tuesday. Our team chaplain, Adam, put together a Jesuit slow-pitch team and we slugged it out for 8 fun innings. Seana pitched a great game, only allowing 14 hits and 5 runs. Stevie went 4-for-4 on the day and Lauren's defense was unstoppable at second base. Loyola softball took home the win but the Jesuits were not without some spectacular moments of their own, including an inside-the-park home run and dive into home, just to name a few. The game was a fun way to recharge and I'm thinking we have started an annual tradition (Hello, Adam?).
After that, however, practice got serious. This weekend is the tournament and we have no intentions of losing. I was just talking to Lauren Moore and I have never seen her so competitive or just flat-out pumped. The attitude on this team is so different from anything I've ever experienced before (which is intense, let me tell you). We are extremely focused and are motivated by what we know we can accomplish. We want to be the first Loyola softball team to make the NCAA tournament and we just need to focus on one at-bat, one inning at a time.
Oh, and a shout-out is also necessary to Brittany Gardner for winning Horizon League Pitcher of the Year award! She deserves it and we are all so proud of her!
Until next time and I hope some of you can come out to Valpo and support us this weekend!

Taman Mini Indonesia
Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park), or just Taman Mini, is designed as a mini-Indonesia.
It is meant to show the incredible ethnic, cultural, religious, and biodiversity of Indonesia, as well as highlight Indonesia's economic, technological, and scientific strengths – all the while being a fun place to go and hang out.
To accomplish all that for a country the size of Indonesia – about the size of Japan, U.K., Germany, Spain, Italy, and Greece combined – is quite a feat, and something I feel they accomplished quite well.
Even a miniature version of a country this size is huge. For a visit to Taman Mini, you'll need your walking shoes, sun block, and a lot of energy. There's a lot to see and do. I just spent one day there, but to see everything, in detail, one would need three or four days.
Getting around the park is fairly easy. There is a cable car that crosses the park, a monorail, a small train, and several ojeks (motorbike taxis) that you can use when you get tired of walking.
A good place to begin is at the information office near the front gate. Mr. (pak) Muhiddin Syachruddin is a wealth of information, and always happy to talk about Indonesia. You can reach him on 085 692 182242 if you would like to make arrangements ahead of time. He is especially happy to facilitate group tours. He took time out to take me around on his motorbike while I was there, and gave me passes to a special dance performance on Saturday. His English is quite good.
In the center of Taman Mini is a lake that has scale models of Indonesia's main islands. It's best viewed from the air, while riding the cable car that goes from one end of the park to the other. Around the lake are the 26 pavilions that feature the home building styles of 26 of Indonesia's 33 provinces. Only 26 provinces are represented because, at the time Taman Mini was built, Indonesia had just 26. The houses are furnished with traditional furniture and appliances, giving visitors a good sense of the lifestyles in that province.
The park also includes two churches (Catholic & Protestant), three temples (Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian), and two mosques, to emphasize religious diversity and tolerance. Indonesia has five official religions (Islam, Catholicism, Protestant, Buddhism, and Hinduism), and has national holidays to honor each.
The gardens and parks represent biodiversity. There is the Bird Park, Orchid Garden, Herb Garden, Jasmine Garden, Flower Park, as well as several others. Some of the parks have stages where music performances are held. On the day I was there, I enjoyed relaxing in the shade with a fresh coconut, while listening to local musicians play traditional music in an impromptu concert in a grassy area near the Science and Technology center.
The Oil and Gas Museum, Stamp Museum, and Sport Museum are among the several museums in Taman Mini.
For recreation, the Snow Bay Water Park, Imax Theater,4D theater, fishing pond, and the children's castle are the main attractions, but there are a few others scattered about as well.
You're going to get hungry and thirsty – don't worry; there is a wide variety of traditional foods as well as fresh tropical fruit juices available.
Of course it's far better to travel Indonesia to get the first hand experience, but some people don't have to time or money to do that. For those folks, a visit to Taman Mini will let them experience some of what traveling Indonesia would be like.
I throughly enjoyed the day I spent there – it's a place certainly worth a day of your time when passing through Jakarta.
Getting There
Taman Mini is located in East Jakarta. It's easiest to get there by taxi. It will cost roughly Rp. 70,000 in a Blue Bird taxi or about Rp. 50,000 in an Express taxi, if you're going from Central Jakarta. The driver will ask if you want to use the toll road, which will cost an additional Rp. 8,500 in tolls but it's well worth the time savings.
Operating hours – The park is open every day from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Admission fees – At the main gate (built in the traditional style of a Javanese split gate), visitors are charged Rp. 9,000. There is no charge for those attending religious services. With the exception of the pavilions, most of the attractions charge extra.
- The museums charge from Rp. 1000 to Rp.7,500.
- Snow Bay Water Park charges Rp. 120,000 weekends, Rp. 100,000 weekdays.
- The Imax Theater is Rp. 30,000 for standard seating, and Rp. 50,000 for VIP.
- The cable car is Rp. 20,000, monorail is Rp. 10,000.

4 Healthy Foods to Pack in Your Kid's Lunchbox (Page 3)
Pictured Recipe: Zesty Bean Dip & Chips
For Lunch: Beans
Studies show that being even mildly iron-deficient affects learning, memory and attention. (About 10 percent of young women are anemic—because of their monthly loss of iron-rich blood.) Luckily, restoring iron levels to normal also restores cognitive function. And beans are a good vegetarian source of iron. Try this Zesty Bean Dip: Combine 1/4 cup fat-free canned refried beans, 1 tablespoon salsa, 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro and 1 minced scallion (optional) in a bowl. Serve with 1 ounce (about 10) tortilla chips. If beans aren't of interest, here are some other iron-rich food ideas: dark leafy greens, meat, poultry, fish or soy (tofu, edamame/soybeans).

The Best Science Fiction Book (series) you've read
View Single Post
July 29th, 2012, 20:54
Yeah, Foundation got a bit predictable by the end but it was still very good. The thing I liked about it wasn't the lack of aliens, though, it was the "brains over brawn" theme.
I'm not sure of you could call the Amber series SF or not but they certainly were good. The endings for the two series were both a bit weak but, now that you're expecting that, you should enjoy the books quite a bit. My favorite aspect of those books was finding out how that universe actually worked.
My favorite of all time (so far) is still Roger MacBride Allen's 'Hunted Earth' series.
The Ring of Charon
has the best aliens I've ever seen plus I love how the solar system actually seems BIG. The "Naked Purples" political faction is fun, too.
The Shattered Sphere
continues the series and also does a very good job. Unfortunately, the slacker still hasn't done the third book in the series!
He's also got a continuation of Asimov's robot novels where a robot is created that does not actually have the 3 (or so
) laws of robotics ingrained. I remember the series as being good but not anything particularly awesome. Still might be a good jumping-on point for the author, though, if you're familiar with Asimov's books.
Nancy Kress' Beggars series has to be the highest on the "sticky" scale. I swear I don't go a month without being reminded of something in that series of books.
I smell a… wumpus!?

NewsWrap brings you the latest today in Tech News from China and the world at large. Today we look at the iTunes Match release, Google's clandestine lab, Lashou putting their IPO on hold, the CPU-Baidu piracy lawsuit, and Tudou's impressive third quarter profits.
iTunes Match Released
The new iTunes cloud service has arrived. For $25 a year users can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud. And this covers all types of songs from songs purchased on iTunes to songs you downloaded from peer to peer sites. iTunes Match is not just a step toward moving everyone into the cloud but a way to monetize pirated music. Users can essentially legalize their pirated tunes by paying $25 a year for the iCloud service.

At Google X
New York Times wrote an interesting article about one of the lesser-known facets of Google. Google X, a clandestine lab where Google works on "100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas." These include space elevators, all kinds of different robots and connecting your coffee pot and light bulbs to the Internet so you can manage them remotely. While shareholders and analysts are not big fans of this these projects they tolerate it because Google's search business is moving along fine.

Lashou puts IPO on Hold
Lashou generally considered to be the next big Chinese IPO to hit Nasdaq has run into serious accounting issues. Despite lofty goals Lashou lost USD $10m and had a revenue of $1.62m in December 2010. And during the first half of 2011 they pulled in $8.9 million in revenue but lost a whopping $60.6 million.

Chinese Game Developers Sue Baidu
The Chinese movie game developers' industry association Content Provider Union filed suit against Baidu for over RMB 30m in damages. The claim is that pirated copies of 300+ titles are available through Baidu. Baidu responded saying that they do not have any IPR infringing copies on its site. They instead give users fast and stable connections to third-party developer sites and that is where these pirated copies exist.

Tudou Boasts $8m Profit
Tudou was expected to not be able to report a profit until 2013. However, as of now the company is reporting a USD $8.2 million net profit. Penn Olson makes a good point highlighting how last quarter they reported a net loss of around $12m begging the question how they've experienced this impressive turnaround.

Hey all, I'm brand new to this forums and looking to sell my long-time project car in the next few weeks. If I had my choice, I would try to keep the car and finish it in the future, but I have other obligations at the moment... and the car NEEDS TO GO! I've put about ~$3000 into the motor and tranny rebuild and many hours on top of that. 351 Windsor C6 3 speed automatic trans. Really need this car gone soon and not asking for much looking for $1500, here are a few pictures.
As the car sits now, the interior is sitting in my garage, as the biggest part of this project was replacing the rusted out roof. Here are some pics.
I am not interested in parting out this car because I do not have the time, if you are interested or have any questions please feel free to leave a comment below, or contact me via e-mail: email@example.com
Thanks, John.

It's easier than ever to travel gluten-free — recent treks through airports and experiences on various flights show there are more options than ever for those with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity.

However, it's not quite a universally gluten-free experience just yet, and so if you're following the gluten-free diet and don't particularly want to feel hunger pains while traveling by airplane, you'll need to take steps to make certain you have enough to eat.

In many cases, you won't find gluten-free snacks onboard (just the ever-ubiquitous gluten-y pretzels), and for long-haul international flights, you can't always count on getting a gluten-free meal, even if you order one in advance.

Here's what you need to know about traveling gluten-free by air.

Ordering Gluten-Free Airline Meals

Most major airlines offer gluten-free meals (abbreviated in the airline food world as GFML) for those on long-haul international flights. To get one:

 Reserve your gluten-free meal in advance. You can't just ask for the special meal at the last minute — you need to request it anywhere from 24 to 96 hours before your flight. It's best to do this online at the same time you book the flight. (Consequently, if you change your flight at the last minute, you'll lose your gluten-free meal.)

 Check with the flight crew after you've boarded the plane to claim your meal and to make sure they actually have it on board.

 Don't assume you can eat everything on the tray. The special meal will be wrapped and sealed; all the flight crew needs to do is warm it up and place it on your tray. However, on occasion a flight attendant might add something you can't eat to your tray, such as crackers or cookies for dessert. Be cautious, and if something doesn't seem right, don't eat it.

 Bring your own food. Unfortunately, despite your best efforts to order safe food (and the airline's best efforts to provide it for you), your special gluten-free meal might not be on board after takeoff. Therefore, you always should bring something to keep you going until you land.

Bring-Your-Own Airline Meals

When you're deciding what food to take with you on your flight, you'll first need to consider what foods will pass the screening at security (hint: skip the pudding and the homemade smoothie). Here's a guide:

What Gluten-Free Foods Can You Legally Carry Through Airport Security?

You'll also want to avoid foods that require refrigeration, since gel packs aren't permitted.

Here are some ideas for foods that are easy to prepare and easy to carry, and which won't suffer too much away from refrigeration:

fresh fruits (grapes and bananas are especially convenient)

dried fruits

fresh vegetables

cold cereals (you can purchase milk after going through security)

cookies, crackers and rice cakes

meats

nuts and trail mixes

candy

energy bars

potato chips, corn chips, soy crisps

muffins

Don't forget to bring along napkins and plastic utensils if you'll need them.

If you're going on a long-haul flight, it's not a bad idea to pack something more substantial (such as a gluten-free sandwich or dinner salad), even if you've pre-ordered a gluten-free meal. If your meal appears as ordered, you'll have extra, or you can save some food for later.

If you know the airport well and there are gluten-free food options available there, you also can consider picking up some to-go food once you're through security. However, this can be risky: If you're delayed and find yourself sprinting for your flight, you might not have time to grab something, and could wind up on board and hungry.

8 days ago, I left one of my credit cards at a bar during a singles mixer. Where I met someone. Since I happened to have met someone at the place, it wasn't such a bad thing. I canceled the card the next day and I already have a new one.
Tonight, I went to another mixer at a bowling alley for a social bowling league that starts next week. And proceeded to leave my debit card at the bar there. I have called the place and they said they'd hold it for me and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Please tell me I don't have dementia.

In my tenancy agreements, i always include my name and address to comply with S48 (I forget exactly which act - LTA 1987?). It is the only place I use my own name rather than my trading as name. Eg all my documentation refers to "Rachmann Estates" (no not really my trading name), but my S48 notice reads;
Mr Robin B'stard T/A Rachmann Estates
Do I need to have the my name T/A bit there or can I just refer to Rachmann Estates?

Non SVT/ST Leather Seats
Has anyone seen these seats before? I was checking out '07 Focus's on autotrader to see what similar ones go for and found these. I kinda like them, would totally swap out to them if I found a set at a junk yard. It's from an
'07 ses zx5
and its manual...Dont see many '07 ses that are manual either. It has the ST style gauges too (silver bezel.) I havent seen the door sils before either. My sister has an '07 ses, so im somewhat familiar with them too. I havent seen the two tone leather steering wheel either.
that being said, even though it has most options, i think its still over priced for an '07 focus
I'd swap seats in a jiffy though. Cant say ive seen these seats in anything else before. Has anyone else seen them or similar? Look pretty similar to the red/blue SVT seats but these dont look like they do the 60/40 flat split in the rear, the bench looks solid. more similar to the same year ST two tone leather (which i thought only came in red clothe/black leather)

This section will define and describe wetland ecosystems. Specifically, you will learn:
What is a Wetland Ecosystem?
What do we mean by wetlands? What bodies of water comprise wetlands?
While wetlands are vital to the life of a lake, river or ocean, they don't have the physical appeal of their attractive neighbors. Typically wetlands include marshes, swamps, bogs and other marshy areas--any area where water covers the soil for at least part of the year. There are two types of wetlands: coastal or tidal wetlands and inland or non-tidal wetlands.
Like the other water ecosystems, wetlands have numerous sources for their water. Their contiguousness to other bodies of water makes them a natural sponge for holding excess water from lakes, rivers or oceans. Rain and groundwater also contribute to wetlands, depending on the amount of rain and the level of the groundwater. Although they are not the ending point of any water source, wetlands are a vital part of a watershed because they connect land and water resources, acting as a purifier for larger water resources. Many watershed protection programs include protection for wetlands.
Wetland Chemistry
In general, wetlands vary in chemistry depending on their habitat. For example, coastal wetlands contain chemicals native to the ocean, while inland wetlands house chemicals from freshwater sources. Since wetlands soak up nutrients from the surrounding water and soil, chemical makeup always varies, but wetlands contain higher chemical concentrations than either oceans or freshwater habitats do.
Because wetlands are an important part of the watershed, several factors can endanger both the wetland and its surrounding aquatic ecosystem:
· Removing the wetlands by adding soil to the surface water to fill it in
· Large amounts of point source or nonpoint source pollutants
· Removing the plant life from the wetland or its surrounding area
Why We Need Wetland Ecosystems
What do wetlands do to maintain water quality in general?
Wetlands function as "supermarkets" for all of the living plants and animals in the watershed. Dead plants form nutrients (detritus) that feed small aquatic insects and herbivorous fish and shellfish. Larger fish from lakes, rivers and oceans feed off of the smaller fish and insects. Wetlands, therefore, serve as the beginning part of the aquatic food web. In addition, wetlands serve as a habitat for species like the wood duck, as well as several endangered species.
Other aquatic ecosystems need wetlands for their sponge-like function, storing excess water and slowly releasing it, preventing floods and reducing erosion. In addition, wetlands catch wastes and sediment before they reach the water and retain their nutrients.
Wetlands also store carbon from the plants and soil that surround them, helping to moderate climate and atmospheric conditions.

assembled trailer rule questions
Alright, I'm getting into finishing my trailer. I bought the frame. The deck is 81"X16'. Has a nice heavy frame, nice A-frame in front to a 2 5/16" socket. I got a set of axles that measure out to be exactly 102" from outside edge of rim to the other side. I've had such a hard time searching the SOS website and no one up at my local branch will help out.
I need to know...
overall legal width
overall legal length
max weight empty
corner light regulations
I just need to know if I'm getting close to the weight limit mainly. Its built out of 3 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 1/4" thick C-channel and the front A-frame is 4" x 2" C-channel. Then, I gotta add ramps, deck, and angle iron around the outside. The axles I have are way more than needed, but I got them so cheap. They probably weigh 300lbs each themselves.
Oh yeah, there is no problems legally if I run torsion axles, is there?

Maserati, Ermenegildo Zegna Team Up for Special Edition Quattroporte
Maserati has teamed up with renowned Italian fashion designer Ermenegildo Zegna for a limited edition Quattroporte that will make its debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
According to the Italian automaker, the limited edition vehicle is "intended for development into a production version in 2014," and was developed to showcase what the brand can do when it comes to unique color schemes, materials, and finish. In concept form, the Quattroporte Ermenegildo Zegna features a special paint finish that uses ultra-fine aluminum pigments. But most of the upgrades are found inside the car, naturally, with soft leather and materials inspired by Ermenegildo Zegna's men's collection.

The collaborations between automakers and fashion designers have been picking up steam as of late, with Fiat teaming up with Gucci and Chrysler recently selling a 300C John Varvatos Edition.

With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisite cinematography, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past decade of cinema.

12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Men's Basketball Completes Sweep in Ottawa
Sept. 5, 2010
OTTAWA - Head men's basketball coach Mick Cronin was just a little kid in the 1970s when the Bee Gees were symbols of the Disco Era in America. On Sunday, in the final game of a preseason tour through Canada, Cronin turned his attention to the Gee Gees, the mascot of the University of Ottawa. And for the record, a Gee Gee is a lean horse that has nothing to do with music.
"It was a great trip for us," Cronin said. "We improved on the offensive end and the chemistry is definitely there."
The Bearcats completed a three-game weekend sweep of McGill University, Carleton, and Ottawa with a 79-57 victory over the Gee Gees on Sunday afternoon. Freshman Sean Kilpatrick and sophomore Cashmere Wright each led the way with 17 points for UC.
"Since I haven't played in a long time, coming up here on this trip reassured me that I can get back in the groove of playing basketball again." Wright said.
Wright tore up his left knee two years ago and had a minor operation on the same knee this offseason. The UC medical staff is taking things slowly and asking Wright to wear a protective brace so the point guard can be ready for the regular season.
"Adversity only makes you stronger, Wright continued. "I've have to keep pushing and one day I'll be better."
Yancy Gates turned in 15 points and 5 rebounds in the finale.
"Personally, this is a big year for me." Gates said.
Gates, who grew up in Cincinnati, starred at Withrow High School and knows all about the expectations that have followed him as a hometown product to the University of Cincinnati.
"I just try not to worry about it because the expectations are going be there no matter what," Gates said. "I just go out there and do what I can do and not what everyone else expects me to do." Gates said.
The junior spent part of August running on sand dunes in California, losing 15 pounds in that training regimen alone and earning praise from his head coach.
"He's had a great summer," Cronin said. "The biggest difference is coaching a young guy and an adult. Immature versus mature. I can focus in on coaching technique. I haven't had to coach effort once. His effort and attitude have been tremendous."
UC trailed 24-23 in the second quarter, but after a timeout the Bearcats went on a 17-to-4 run to take a 40-31 lead into the locker room. The Bearcats locked down defensively after halftime and won the third quarter, 18-5.
"It was our goal to average 80 points a game for the trip and we accomplished that." Cronin said.
UC also won the rebounding battle 36-32. A statistic that reflects a ball-sharing offensive mentality is the 16 assists on 29 made baskets.
Johny Berhane connected on 4-of-6 three point attempts for the University of Ottawa for a team-high 16 points in a losing effort.
The Bearcats travel back to Cincinnati on Monday and plan to take 10 days off before voluntary workouts resume.

Campaign of the Month: June 2014
Battletech : The Farscape Campaign
Senior Scout "Scammer" Firdaaz
Lead Unit Field Scout
Scammer Firdaaz is a Regular Scout NPC.
Due to his independent work experience, he is well-trained in planetary survival and is known to possess a knowledge of many Periphery planets.
Assigned a Swift Wind Scout Car, "Scammer" has been attached to the Battlefield Intelligence division of * "The Dingoes' Fangs", often serving their artillery force as a spotter and observer. Otherwise, he is often seen among the local engineers acquiring his "elixers".
"Scammer" is an ancient Siroccan (a Coreward Periphery World) man who has seen better days. His leathery black skin contrasts the white hair atop his head, and a gold hoop earring adorns his left lobe. He's an experienced scout who still has many of the skills and know-how which once kept him alive on rugged, unexplored planets in the Periphery. He feels his tracking and survival skills will help the band, particularly if they should ever wind-up fleeing into the Periphery, and hiding on uncharted planets in the Rimward portions of the region.
Of course, Scammer had his own motivations for joining the Militia. He's interested in travelling across the Inner Sphere, and based on his finances, that was only going to happen if he enlisted and served as a scout for the military. Half the time he's off-duty, he's drunk and if there's a glass of alcohol to be found, he'll scout it out. When not drunk, he's a grumpy and arrogant man, unwilling to follow orders he sees as dangerous without some sort of incentive. He has grown weary of shipboard life easily, and longs to get his feet onto solid ground again, especially with the opportunity to range freely and explore. When he does, however, he's positively useful.
Scammer believes he knows best, and he always lets his feelings be known. His way of doing things is always best, and if someone ignores his advice and fails, he never hesitates to explain how his ideas would have better, with a grumpy "I told you so…". Even though he never had an official rank, and was a civilian adviser, he adapted the title "Sergeant" so that he could ignore the younger troopers who might try and tell him what to do. He's often found trying to tell the commander of the band what to do, particularly if it means he can flee down to the local planet's surface for a week or two…
Scammer tends to find his own little band of drunken misfits, hiding in some forgotten corner of the engineering section on-board a ship trying to get a still going. He's also well-known for sniffing out any intoxicants that someone might smuggle aboard and sampling some to keep it quiet. Although a veteran scout, his vices tend to take his edge off, making him less useful if he has access to a bottle of something local. Someday, it might cost him his life.
Scammer spent some time on Pilpala along with many of the former technical staff from the 13th Provisional Company. His survival skills allowed him to actually prosper in prison, and when rescued along with the others, spent a year following along with the Iron Dingoes in their journeys, and generally staying out of danger. When the "Dingoes Fangs" formed, his personnel file came to the attention of Master Tech Melinda Clarke "Echo", and he was assigned a formal rank and position, along with his own vehicle. He now leads the small scout force as a roving agent, but really has come to enjoy the promise of spending a few years in backwater worlds, seeing some new sights, and finding new sources of liquor.
Scammer wears a prominent Mydron Autopistol he picked-up from somewhere, and carries a collection of tools for his tasks: a breath mask, macrobinoculars, a medpack, and protective sun goggles. He is often seen toting his silver flask, usually filled with his favorite; Siroccan Raava Brandy.

I've asked around the dealerships and also online, but wanted to get feedback from you guys that actually did the above 1 or 2 fluid changes, when you did it, why and at what intervals? Did you look at the old fluid/related parts to see that it was requiring a change? I understand that the tranny fluid is sealed, but still, just because of that, it shouldn't mean 'lifetime'.
I wonder why BMW says these 2 fluids are 'lifetime'? The cynic in me thinks so when the engine/differential 'tears up', they can rack up in service fees. 'Lifetime' can't be true especially for those of us going over 100,000kms/60,000 miles.
Thx in advance.
Fluid changes
First, you are right to believe that there is "NO SUCH THING" as "LIFETIME" fluids. I reccommend following the old school maintence schedule for new and old cars alike. You can obtain a schedule from Mike Miller at Roundel. I changed my fluids - differential, transmission, power steering at 25,000 miles and every 30,000 therafter and the oil and filter every 5,000 miles. I use either Red Line Products or Total Products. The heart of any vehicle is the fluids it contain. I had the oil checked in my vehicle for contaminants every third oil change and keep records. I also had the other fluids checked for contaminants at the intervals. So far so good! No issues in either vehicle.:)
Firstly there is no drain plug on the diff so you have to suck out the old fluid through the fill hole. Secondly depending whether you have a manual or an auto transmission will dictate the ease to which this job can be done. Auto transmissions being a lot harder to do. Given that the transmission will probably have the accursed plastic pan which are prone to cracking at the 60k mile mark then one should do the whole lot.
I agree with the sentiment of no such thing as lifetime oils and BMW will acknowledge privately that this is 100k miles........
Personally I would change these oils at around 60k miles. It needs to be remembered that todays oils are of a significantly better standard than oils of old, so maintaining or changing the oil somewhat earlier than the supposed life-time should be a good practice. Especially if you are keeping the car or you have purchased it with this kind of mileage on as no doubt it will need doing as many people do not do it!!!!!!
Change the fluid!
A friend just bought a 2009 Z4 (auto) and I told him to change it. He asked the dealer and they said it was 'lifetime' fluid and never needed to be changed.
Here's why.. In 1998 I bought a 1994 540i (auto) with lifetime fluid. The tranny died in 2002. I went with a used tranny ($1800) versus a rebuilt ($5000). The second one died in 2007. Now I drive a Subaru.
Does lifetime fluid even sound right? Heck no. Change it.

Give her some time Cleo, when they get older they sometimes develope hair growth on their chins and face - BOL, BOL
She's really pretty without the hair though.
She's really pretty without the hair though.
They looks diff'rent than us, but they's our mommies so we luff 'em.
Listen up, Puppy pals! You won't believe what I saw earlier! Mummy was growing a pretty whisker from her chin and she REMOVED it! On purpose! Why would she do that? How can she find stuff in the park without her whiskers? I loves my whiskers, I can't understand why she'd do that!
Gma does that same thing! I'll hide in my cave, before I let her pluck any whiskers off me..... I use them to find things just like you....Our pawrents do some mighty strange things sometimes. Like why did I need a bath tonight????? Just because I was digging in gopher holes?????? I do that on a regular basis....I really wasn't that dirty...Gma said, I was over due...What kind of reason it that?
BTW- your Momma is very pretty just like you are. Great picture..... hugs,Mazy
BTW- your Momma is very pretty just like you are. Great picture..... hugs,Mazy
Hey Mazy! Glad I'm not the only one with a strange Mummy! I was afraid when I saw her taking off her own whisker she might take mine next, so I better remember to hide next time! She has another loud thing that she uses when her hair is wet and I hide under the bed when I see that! That was really mean of your Gma to do that! I'm sure you wanted to savour the smell of your great gopher hunting expedition for a while longer! I wasn't too happy with me in that picture! I'm all blurry, cos I was shifting position so the camera could get my good side. No fear Mummy would use the pictures where I was perfectly in focus and she was all blurry! Cleo X

Most people fall into one of three camps when it comes to their car's tires,
Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel falls into the semi-gloss category which looks great on most tires. It creates a deep, dark black satin finish with just enough shine or gloss to make them stand out from a matte finish but not so shiny to look like wet black paint, which is how most high gloss tire dressings make tires look.
The semi-gloss flattens out after a wash or two or with time so it's still a good choice for those are in the Matte Camp too.
Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel has a thin consistency somewhat like a quality maple syrup, which makes it spread out smoothly and evenly when using a Cobra Flex Foam Tire Swipe like you see in the pictures.
The end-results of any tire dressing depends upon starting with a clean surface; in this case we cleaned both the tires and the wheels using Wolfgang Tire and Wheel Cleaner.
This left the rubber sidewall clean but also dull and lifeless but at the same time, perfectly prepared for application of a tire dressing. Like a lot of tire designs today, these tires have serrated lines across the sidewall. This makes applying a tire dressing a challenge because you need to get enough of the dressing into each of the lines or grooves evenly for an even appearance and protection, yet you need to remove any excess so that it doesn't sling out as you drive the car.
The thin consistency of Wolfgang Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel lends itself well into getting into places like this and other irregular surfaces common to tire sidewalls. Getting the tire dressing onto the tire is usually the easy part. Ensuring you don't leave excess tire dressing on the tires is usually the tricky part and that's where the open cell foam design of the Cobra Flex Foam Tire Swipe draws most of any excess tire dressing back into itself to help prevent sling.
Here's our test tire, both the wheel and tire have been thoroughly washed using Wolfgang Tire and Wheel Cleaner and then dried to prevent water spotting on the wheel.
Right side is treated with Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel.
The rubber now has a rich, dark appearance that makes the tire look brand new, even better than new.

 Bishop Tonnos' athletic banquet last June could very well have turned tragic.

But thanks to the quick thinking and steady leadership of Dawson Lucier, a much-loved staff member is alive, and Dawson is being hailed as a hero.

On the night of the banquet, the teenager was sitting with friends at the side of the stage when the staff member, who was presenting an award, collapsed, fell backward and went into cardiac arrest.

"....I honestly can't say I remember running up onto the stage…everything just happened so quickly, it was instinct," said Dawson. "Someone needed help and I just did what I had to do."

Dawson first immobilized his patient's spine, noticed she wasn't breathing and initiated CPR. With the assistance of co-worker Danielle Kent, the pair performed four cycles of two-person CPR before the staff member showed signs of life. With presence of mind far beyond his years, Dawson told his principal to get a barrier device, directed another teacher to grab a portable defibrillator and told another to contact EMS.

For his life-saving efforts, and extensive school and community involvement, Dawson has earned a nomination for the Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year award. Coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association and its 300-plus member newspapers, the awards recognize outstanding young people in communities across the province.

Dawson has attained honour roll status each year at Bishop Tonnos, while working part time as a City of Hamilton lifeguard/swim instructor, participating in sports as a player and coach and giving back to the community of Ancaster.

"Being active in the local community has always been a big thing in my family," said Dawson. "Whether it be coaching hockey, Relay for Life or helping out with local food drives, I think it's important to give back."

Dawson is serving as student council president this year at Bishop Tonnos and is involved with initiatives like Halloween for Hunger, Pilgrimage Walk for Charity and World Suicide Prevention Day. In the community, he has lent a helping hand to the Ancaster Food Drive and captained a Relay for Life team to raise money for cancer research.

A well-rounded and gifted student athlete, Dawson has participated on many school teams. During his Grade 10 year, he was competing at the provincial level as a road cyclist, and despite a gruelling schedule, he still managed to snag BT's Junior Male Athlete of the Year award for his school-based athletic achievements.

As for the future, Dawson is "still very undecided." He has applied to para-medicine at the University of Toronto and kinesiology and health sciences programs at McMaster.

Where ever life's path takes Dawson, you can be assured success will follow.

"His contagious enthusiasm and passion for life make him a natural leader among his peers," according to Dawson's nomination papers. "He demonstrates exemplary character, but he is not content to rest on his laurels. Instead, he is constantly looking for his next challenge to fuel his physical, emotional, mental and spiritual growth."

Game Story
TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- Sheldon Brown and Daniel Weaver spoiled what could have been the greatest comeback in New Year's Day bowl history.
Brown's 34-yard interception return set up Weaver's 42-yard field goal on the final play of the game as No. 14 South Carolina edged 23rd-ranked Ohio State, 31-28, in the Outback Bowl.
"You always wonder what it would be like to make the game winning kick, especially in a hugh bowl like the Outback Bowl," Weaver said. "I can't think of anything better."
South Carolina, which also beat the Buckeyes, 24-7, in last year's Outback Bowl, appeared to be cruising after opening a 28-0 lead late in the third quarter.
But Steve Bellisari, seeing his first action since his arrest on a drunk driving charge in mid-November, rallied the Buckeyes for four touchdowns over the final 15 minutes. He completed 20-of-33 passes for 285 yards and two touchdowns.
Bellisari was suspended from the team after getting arrested prior to Ohio State's game against Illinois on November 17 and did not play in the Buckeyes' last two regular season games.
"I was proud of the way he handled this whole season," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "I thought he came along very well as a quarterback, and then made a personal mistake. I thought he handled the effect of that. He came back and wanted to do whatever the team needed him to do."
Bellisari entered Tuesday's game in the first half, but was ineffective until scoring on the final play of the third quarter to get the Buckeyes on the board. He engineered three drives in the final period and pulled the Buckeyes even with a nine-yard TD pass to Darnell Sanders with 1:54 left.
"It's been up and down for me," Bellisari said of his career at Ohio State. "I've been through the gamut. But it's been a good career for me at Ohio State. I had a real good time."
Ohio State got back the ball on Derek Ross' interception, but were penalized for excessive celebration and started the drive at the 15.
The Buckeyes appeared content to play for overtime but after one running play, Bellisari lofted an ill-advised pass into traffic that was returned by Brown to the Ohio State 29 with 23 seconds left.
Following two incompletions, Phil Watson picked up five yards on third down. Ohio State called two timeouts to ice Weaver, whose kick barely cleared the crossbar.
The biggest comeback in New Year's Bowl history occured two years ago in the Outback Bowl, when Georgia rallied from a 25-point deficit to defeat Purdue, 28-25, in overtime.
Marshall erased a 30-point halftime to defeat East Carolina, 64-61, in double overtime in this year's GMAC Bowl.
Phil Petty tossed two touchdown passes and Andrew Pinnock scored twice for the Gamecocks (9-3), who reached nine wins for the first time since going 10-2 in 1994 under Joe Morrison. Petty, who injured his shoulder in the first half, completed 19-of-37 passes for 227 yards in his final game for South Carolina.
"Early in the first half I took a shot," Petty said. "An Ohio State guy got into my shoulder pretty good. I'm not really sure how bad it is yet. It was painful, but you play through that stuff."
Lou Holtz, who went 0-11 in his first season at South Carolina in 1999, became the first Gamecocks' coach to win consecutive bowl games.
"I think our seniors have set a record for the most wins in a two-year period," Holtz said. "They also had the record for the most losses in a two-year period. That wasn't their fault. But they did it in the proper order. The seniors have given great leadership."
Prior to Holtz's arrival, South Carolina had won only one of its previous nine bowl appearances, a 24-21 victory over West Virginia in the 1995 Carquest Bowl.
"It's big coming from 0-11 and knowing what coach Holtz did in the past," South Carolina receiver Brian Scott said. "Some guys starting doubting coach. We hung in there, we stared listening. We won the Outback Bowl last year and then did the same thing again this year. It's big."
"A lot of people would probably say it (South Carolina's turnaround) was a miracle," Brown added. "Lee Corso and those guys would probably say it was a miracle again today. To be honest with you, we have a good team here. There are a lot of guys with character."
Ohio State (7-5), which parlayed a 26-20 victory over rival Michigan into a berth in this game, came out flat in its first bowl appearance under Tressel.
For the Buckeyes, their performance in the first three quarters was all too familiar to last year's loss to the Gamecocks, when they seemed disinterested. Coach John Cooper lost for the eighth time in 11 bowl games and was fired the next day.
After a scoreless first period, South Carolina took control in the second with a pair of scores. Pinnock only rushed for 48 yards on 12 carries, but scored on a one-yard TD run 2:23 into the period before Petty and Brian Scott connected on a seven-yard TD pass that made it 14-0 with 7:54 left in the half.
South Carolina scored on its first possession of the second half, taking a 20-0 lead on Petty's 50-yard TD pass to Andrea Gause just 2:04 into the third quarter.
The Gamecocks extended their lead to 28-0 on Pinnock's 10-yard TD run and Petty's conversion pass to Watson with 5:38 left in the third quarter.
After Ohio State closed to 28-14 on Bellisari's 16-yard TD pass to Sanders with 10:12 left in the contest, the Buckeyes' appeared to be dashed when Bellisari fumbled a snap at the South Carolina 23 with six minutes left.
But Ohio State got back the ball one player later when Watson fumbled the handoff. Bellisari found Michael Jenkins for 22 yards before Jonathan Wells bowled in from the 1 two plays later to make it 28-21 with 5:02 left.
South Carolina went three-and-out on its next possession and Bellisari again drove the Buckyes down the field, completing all five passes for 63 yards during the tying drive.

Re: Need help with Mathematica
Hi Martin,
Assuming your problem lies in generating the filenames and not in
actually pushing some output to these files (which can be done in
various ways, among which Export, Put, Save, Write; you can look them
up in the documentation), filename strings can be generated in a loop
Do[Print["X" <> ToString[i]], {i, 1, 10}],
where <> is the string concatination operator and ToString converts
expressions to strings. Instead of ToString you could also use
IntegerString which allows you to choose the number of positions your
number should take, padding with leading zeros where necessary (nice
if you want the filenumbers in the correct order in a sort). Instead
of Printing the strings, as I do here, you should do something useful
with the string, ofcourse.
As to Do loops: it is a construction many of this newsgroup's
inhabitants frown upon. Mathematica has a whole array of so-called
functional programming constructs that are considerable more succinct
and efficient. You might want to look at a reference section such as
guide/FunctionalProgramming, especially the functions Map and Apply.

Not yet. They're sending me the info.
I can't believe people don't vote. I love voting, and I get to see my nemesis, an old lady in a Rerun (or Boogie) cap who made fun of one of my poodles (strike one), and then accidentally tore my ballot (strike two) when attempting to demonstrate how poorly defined the tear strip was. I got a letter from the Board of Elections for that one, when I had to do a make-up ballot.
Now I yell, "Stay away from my ballot!" when she comes near me.
She bugs other people, too. Just saying.

Real Madrid and Spurs announced that they had formed a new alliance in the wake of Luka Modric's transfer to the Spanish side last week.
The deal will involve "players, coaches, best practices and commercial relationships".
The Sunday Mirror reports that the alliance will also see Real Madrid get the first chance to sign Bale should Spurs decide to sell the winger.

One more thing before getting started, if you have marble, do not use a recipe with vinegar.
Simple All Purpose Cleaner
1 C Water
1 C White Vinegar
Optional: Add 10-15 drops of essential oil for a fresh smell and antibacterial properties.
Combine ingredients in spray bottle, then shake to mix.
Lemon All Purpose Cleaner
1 C warm water
1 C white vinegar
4 Tbs lemon juice
Optional: Add 10-15 drops of essential oil
Combine ingredients in spray bottle, then shake to mix.
All Purpose Cleaner with Borax
1 t Borax
¼ C white Vinegar
2 C water
Optional: Add 10-15 drops of essential oil
Boil water, add borax and stir until dissolved. Add vinegar and let mixture cool. Pour into a spray bottle then add essential oil(s).
Favorite All Purpose Cleaner
2 T borax
1 T baking soda (can also use washing soda)
2 T white vinegar
3 C hot water
1/3 C liquid Castile Soap
Combine ingredients and let cool before pouring into a spray bottle.

ac pulley noise
07 328i
Have a metallic whirrring noise from the passenger side of engine.I replaced the idler pulley and the tensioner pulley and serpentine belt. I get the noise only after the car has warmed up. Starts and drives fine but then the engine stumbles and shakes at stops. The rpm drops and kills the motor. Noise is coming from the ac pulley, I think? Is it possible the ac pulley or bearings are shot? Thinking to remove belt and see if noise and stumbling go away. Any ideas on how to diagnose and fix? Thanks!
