C'mon...someone must have charged the A/C before. I know more than just me lives in SoCal!
If you go to a Autoparts store they sell the recharge kits with a guage to tell you when your system is full. I think the one we sell is like $20 for everything.

Hope this helps.
I ahve all of the stuff to charge it, and already have, just don't know the correct pressure. Those gauges aren't make specific. It say 40 is full...but it was 28 on my other car. I just don't want to put in too much as it is bad for the system.
Thanks for the replies guys.
The manual says:
Low pressure: 18-28psi.
High Pressure: 213-242psi.
Is this what you're looking for? There are 27 steps in the recharging procedures.
24) Adjust the refrigerant flow to maintain the pressure on the low-pressure side at 276 kPa (2.81 kg/ cm2, 40 psi) max.

you dont add a psi. you flow it in at a psi. those cans are either 1 or 2 lb cans. its probally in that area. if you had the system disconnected you will have to take it to some one with a recovery station. one of the steps is to pull a vacuum on the system and then wait to make sure it doesnt have a leak. then add through the low side is your safer bet because you can do it car on or off. and make sure you position the can the right way to add either gas to the high pressure side or liquid to the low.
check the service manual. if it just stopped working you should have a vacuum pulled. just my $0.02

Joseph Sittler and the Theater of Human Existence
by Linda-Marie Delloff

This article appeared in the Christian Century, February 1-8, 1984 p. 113. Copyright by the Christian Century Foundation and used by permission.

Lutheran scholar Joseph Sittler, now nearly 80, is widely considered to be one of the era's most distinguished -- and best-loved -- theological educators. Those who have been his students, themselves now noted teachers, preachers and scholars, pay homage to his singular ability to relate the academy to the parish -- and to the wider culture. There are few figures of his generation who have so purposefully yet so gracefully passed among those three spheres of endeavor. Nor has this activity ceased during the years of his "retirement." Since he became emeritus at the University of Chicago Divinity School in 1973, after teaching there for 17 years, Sittler has been scholar in residence at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Not that he is always "resident" -- for, despite his near-total blindness, he continues his travels for speaking engagements. He keeps well informed through tapes and the services of a reader.
This is the Century's centennial year, and Sittler has been an important figure in the ecumenical tradition and the cultural orientation which have always characterized this journal's identity. Thus we decided to seek out this Lutheran sage's views on the current state of theological education.
It was through this experience that Sittler began to have doubts about his chosen career -- not because of the depressing poverty he witnessed, but because at that time "if you were going to be a doctor, you couldn't possibly keep up your interest in anything else: the demands of reading and work as a physician meant that you couldn't maintain a deep interest in literature and history."
Having reached this conclusion by the time of his graduation -- but not having defined an alternative career -- Sittler decided to follow in his father's footsteps and enter seminary. This he did at Hamma Divinity School in Springfield. According to Sittler, there was one remarkable teacher on the faculty -- Leipzig-trained John Evjen (later fired for his liberal views) -- who was so inspiring that he awakened in his young student a whole new set of interests. "When I got into the seminary, I found out that the studies in biblical language, church history, Christian theology and liturgy were fascinating."
Sittler became a leader of a group of fairly radical young Lutherans -- mostly Evjen's students -- in Ohio, and he did further theological study at Oberlin under Walter Marshall Horton, and at Case Western Reserve with Max Fisch. From that time on, Sittler educated himself through extensive reading and through dialogue with experts on various topics. "I was ordained in 1930. It was utterly impossible during that decade to afford graduate school. The Depression was absolute, you know."
His own lack of advanced formal training is one factor in Sittler's continued great interest in the field -- and he has many ideas concerning the successes and failures of current theological education.
"Let's start with what's right," he begins: "Most institutions devoted to theological education today are introducing their students, either through carefully structured curricula or in field work, to the increasingly urban settings of the actual parishes. There is nothing new about this, but I think the care with which that intention is built into the planning of faculties and curricula is each year getting more expert, so that we don't just sort of splash the students through the city but get them to know more about specific aspects of contemporary urban culture, at the hands of and through the mouths of people who are the children of that culture. That, I think, is right because it simply makes practical sense. The people to whom the church addresses its invitation are now primarily urban people.
"That approach, however, is but an aspect of the second and more profoundly right thing: what Johannes Metz has called the theology of the subject; that is, the enhancing of the dialectical relationship between the God who is the object of theological reflection and the persons who are its subjects. The joining of these is realty the fulfillment of Schleiermacher' s program. It is the deepest internal theological program -- and while it always teeters on the edge of making theology a primarily subjective experience, we have to run the risk of a careless subjectivity in order to keep that dialogue balanced. This line of thought is not new; it is in its second century now, but such a book as Sallie McFague's Metaphorical Theology illustrates how rich -- when combined with objective, disinterested. sound biblical scholarship -- this approach may be."
Such a focus will lead eventually, thinks Sittler, "to both an honoring of and a renovation of the whole theological vocabulary." However, if the renovation takes place without the honoring, it will become trivial. . . . It's a hundred years now since the search for the historical Jesus has indeed proven, as Norman Perrin said, to be a futile search in purely historical results, or hopes. It has nevertheless disclosed the strength, the uniqueness, the incomparable challenge of the reports about Jesus, so that the figure of the New Testament Jesus emerges mysterious but powerful for the contemporary mind.
"Now, that means that the way this mystery and this power were related backward to the whole of history fashioned a kind of theological vocabulary of messianic kingship, sonship and kingdomship. We must now reexamine these concepts in order to reinvest them with substance which more clearly intersects the nature of evil and the loss of meaning in contemporary life. If you sweep away everything with which our fathers invested their search, you will trivialize. If you don't sweep it away, you will make the language less and less alluring."
In terms of the actual classroom situation, Sittler thinks that both teachers and students are now more open to new ways of thinking than they have been in recent years. "Both students and teachers have had their fingers burned by the banality of new theologies seeking to operate without a historical foundation.
"I think in many cases the movement to evoke and unwrap all theological truths from the quest for personal spirituality is narrow -- first in that what is meant by spirituality bears the marks of the anxieties of recent years. Further, it ignores the vast spiritual literature of our history. I think the movement is blowing up because it's not going anywhere, because spirituality is rifling around in pure inwardness, which has not been enriched by the inherited classical works of the centuries."
When asked what is making students today more interested in those classics, Sittler replies characteristically. "I'm going to go 'way out on a limb, and if I'm wrong, I'm blazingly wrong; but one must take chances. I think the political and social disenchantments of the '70s have chastened the minds of this generation, so that they know they must not be fixated by the moment. They're not going to hitch their expectations to the febrility of revolutionary changes which students hoped for 15 years ago -- changes that haven't come along."
In this context, the surrounding secular culture has played an important role. "I think social and political sophistication, the modifying of our expectations according to experience, is also shaping minds that are willing to take a new look at the old dogmas, doctrines and liturgies which were given a vehement heave-ho in the excitement of the '60s."
Sittler does not place much faith in the churches to alter their expectations independently; rather, he thinks, the schools must resist these trends -- and might, in fact, attempt to engage in some lay education to bring these expectations under criticism.
In another problematic area of theological education, however, Sittler places blame directly on the schools: the proliferation of academically dubious professional degrees. For example, he labels many current D. Min. programs "banal at best, absurd and fraudulent at worst." He continues, "It's a program for which you get an academic degree for the reported exercise of common horse sense. 'The history of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in the creation of a new educational system . . . or new educational building.' They give you the dimensions of all the rooms, who the architect was, and so on. . . .
"I think we ought to have a good MA. program for people who want to do serious advanced work in theological studies. They could take one day a week Out of their parish duties and come and study: preaching, church history, no matter what. There's a place for continuing education, but it should be academically demanding. . . The master's degree is really a degree for the continuing renovation of competence -- though it's not a research degree."
And the D. Min. degree, he thinks, exists simply so that the recipients can redo their church letterheads. He thoroughly disapproves of such overcredentialization and castigates schools that go along with this trend -- some of them solely to bring in more tuition dollars, or to create new cadres of loyal degree-bearers who might later aid the institution financially or in some other way.
Sittler thinks, further, that schools should determine exactly what their specific purposes and strengths are -- and not stray from them. For example, he argues that the schools with primarily a scholarship/research orientation (he cites his own former employer, the University of Chicago Divinity School) "ought not to touch the parish. They should have nothing to do with the training of pastors and preachers. That's not their best contribution to knowledge, nor, in the long run, to the church."
On the other hand, he continues, "That does not mean that a school which is interested in the preparation of persons seeking ordination is to invite or practice bad scholarship -- by no means. There is no reason why the preparation for parish ministry should not be taught by people who have been trained in and who exhibit the soundest scholarship."
The most important point, says Sittler, is to keep the two goals -- scholarship and preparation for the ministry -- distinct, so that each school can accomplish its defined task as consistently as possible.
In addition to "overcredentialization," "fradulent degrees" and misapplied emphasis, another fault that Sittler finds in current educational practice concerns the overspecialization of students, although he grants the often grim necessity of the latter in seeking employment.
Of the Ph.D. degree he notes that students, while pursuing a doctorate, are often compelled to leave by the wayside the broader implications of their studies. Later they may say, "'I've got the damn diploma, now let's get educated.' That's an awful thing to say about the nature of graduate study, but I'm afraid it's true. You set aside the humane end of education in order to acquire enough skill to get a job. Then, having got the job (if you can) you say, 'Now let me learn something about what's humanly important. '" In many cases, however, that transition never takes place, says Sittler. "Many specialists remain only that."
This situation can be remedied in part by introducing courses from other disciplines into the religion curriculum. Sittler has long been an advocate of interdisciplinary endeavors and has an abiding interest, especially, in the interrelation of religion and the arts. His particular regard for poetry and architecture consistently finds its way into his speeches and sermons. Currently he is re-examining the Greek tragedies.
Sittler's other preferences in methods of theological education reflect this broad-based cultural orientation. For example, in discussing how to teach preaching (if that is indeed possible), he states, "If you're going to teach people to preach in a way that serves the truth and the faith of the church, several thinks are crucial. Students must [do] basic work in language and in the critical-historical examination of the Holy Scriptures and of church doctrine. In addition, one must maintain wide exposure to one's surrounding culture. These requirements are absolute."
This theme of "getting back to basics" is one of Sittler's favorites. In fact, when asked what one word of advice he would give to current theological education students, he replies, "Master the classical texts. They will generate energy and demands for relationship," thereby leading to further development of one's knowledge and skills. And he doesn't mean just the classical theological texts, but those in other fields including literature, history and the natural sciences.
Currently he is especially concerned with the latter. "It may well be that the most illuminating focal point for the coming generation of theological students will be some precise knowledge of the methods and projections with which the natural sciences operate. If you want to talk about God and the world, you had better have some clear understanding of what kind of cosmos constitutes the theater of human existence. All my theological notions are shaken by the work of the cosmologists. Our solar system is only a speck in the cosmos, and, as the scientists tell us, will most certainly not last forever. What about when our earth is gone? We define God absolutely in accord with our anthropological view, but what will concepts of sin and redemption mean without our own presence?
"To do one's daily work with care, and at the some time to be aware of the haunting truth of the inevitable annihilation of our earth, is an operation both disturbing and deepening. To keep up on the new work in the Gospel of Mark and take seriously scientist Robert Jastrow's Until the Sun Dies ,for example, requires a balancing adroitness which is both demanding and expanding."
Those who know Sittler point to him as one of the best exemplars of his own advice. They know that in addition to the fields just mentioned, he is fascinated by music, by machinery and the manual arts, by the epical nature of baseball, by ships and the ocean. (He has expressed the wish to be, above anything else, "the captain of a fine sailing vessel.'') All of these areas he sees as interrelated and as aspects of an organic whole. There is no compartmentalization in his thought. "You know," he says, "I simply cannot draw a line around the subject matter of theology. The subject matter is discourse about God: theos logos. What isn't? That's what Euripides was writing about: whatever is, permanent, fundamental, at the center, absolute. All of it is discourse about God. I can't think of anything that is not. There's no time when I say, 'Now I'm going to think theologically.' I don't think any other way."

Suspect surrenders after 7 1/2 hour stand-off in Tenn.
Copyright 2007 Chattanooga Times Free Press
A 20-year-old Red Bank man wanted in connection with a shootout at his home last week surrendered to police early Monday morning after a 71/2-hour standoff with Chattanooga SWAT officers.
Dustin Frisbee, who according to Red Bank police was occupying both apartment 3 and apartment 7 at 1111 Dayton Blvd., had barricaded himself in the ceiling of apartment 3 about 10:30 p.m. Sunday when a patrol officer noticed the door was open and stopped by to investigate, Police Chief Larry Sneed said.
Two witnesses told the officer Mr. Frisbee was inside the apartment, but they could not tell police whether he was armed, Chief Sneed said.

There are many aches and pains that we ignore because we believe that they are nothing serious, but there are some pains that are symptoms of bigger problems. If you experience any of them then you shouldn't blow them off. Head to a healthcare center immediately.
If you are experiencing what you would call the "worst" headache of your life then you should head to the doctor. Yes, it could easily just be the worst headache of your life, but it could also be something much bigger than that. The pain that you are feeling coud be symptomatic of a brain hemorrhage or a brain tumor.
If you are feeling chest pain then you could be suffering from a heart attack or pneumonia. Heart conditions tend to come across as discomfort rather than pain and by the time that you get to the pain stage you could be in serious trouble. Heart disease pain and discomfort can also be felt in the jaw, throat, left arm or abdomen and can often come with nausea.

She may be a world famous tennis star, but Caroline Wozniacki showed she is a dab hand at golf by holing a monster putt at The Masters while caddying for fiance Rory McIlroy.
Sporting bright red hair, the former world no 1 was back on the bag for the second year in a row for the traditional par-three tournament before the main event which starts today.
Favourite McIlroy, searching for his third major title, appeared stunned as he high-fived his girlfriend after she sank the 30-foot putt on hole nine at Augusta before celebrating with a kiss.
Wozniacki, 23, said she did not need much persuasion to come back and caddy, adding on Twitter: "Had a great time caddying for @McIlroyRory today at the par 3. Can't believe I held that putt! #30/40footer #augusta."
It makes a change from the embarrassing flop the previous year, when she fluffed a tee shot about ten yards into the water.
The couple announced their engagement over New Year and the tennis star showed off her huge diamond ring at the event yesterday.
She said it was a "big surprise", but said: "How could I say no, right, with that ring?"
McIlroy joked: "I needed to play well at the end of the year [to pay for it]."
He said they had not yet decided on a date for the wedding.
"We are working on it," he said. "Obviously we are very busy and we're concentrating on other things but I think when the time's right we'll get around to it."
Wozniacki said she would be attending every day of the tournament to support her betrothed, who is the favourite to win the 78th US Masters now that world no 1 Tiger Woods is not playing through injury.
Other golfers old and young also had fun at the event yesterday.
McIlroy, the bookies' favourite, suffered an infamous meltdown in 2011 when he blew a four-shot lead going into the final round at Augusta.Reuse content

"HP doesn't really make the car go faster.. TQ does...Also, the gearing, is not great for a straight line event. Ford did not underrate the car. Mine dyno'd at 152.9whp and 132tq basically stock. Add in the ~15% drive train loss and it's actually closer to 180bhp and 155 tq. Doesn't the GTI also have a LSD?Stock dyno sheet of an 07"
"Also, a MSD coil is not needed. The stock coil pack works on cars pushing over 300whp..."
As far as torque v.s. horsepower, I disagree. A wide/long (high rpm) horsepower curve makes a vehicle "faster" (more usable top end). Torque is what gets the vehicle moving (ie: acceleration). Reducing weight will have the exact same effect as far as acceleration is concerned. That's because the actual torque at the wheels is the measurement of moving one pound (weight), in one foot (distance)per second (time). reducing weight has exactly the same effect as increasing torque!
A perfect example of a car like that with peaky horspower (and a peak hp at nearly 8000 rpm)) is a 255hp 3rd Gen Mazda RX-7. Torque is very low for the hp rating, but since a base or R1 model only weighes 2780 pounds, my R1 RX-7 ran many 13.40's and 13.50's bone stock. With everything else being the same, a fully loaded touring or R2 RX-7 weighed 180-200 pounds more and most ran 14.0-14.30 quartermile times and even had lower trap speeds. If I added a passenger to my R1 during a track run, it made a significant difference in my 1/4 mile times. Also, Honda's S2000 and NSX had good acceleration numbers despite having peaky powerbands. Both are also sub 3000 pound cars. Granted, a Ford Focus SVT is NOT as technilogically advanced but neither is a Mustand LX 5.0 which can be made to accelerate and handle with the best cars in the world (just ask Steve Saleen). Back in the "day" ('86-'87) I remember Shelby Omni GLH-S's beating the snot out of Mustangs and IROCS. care to guess why? First they weighed less than nothing and secondly their 3rd gear was incredible. Not very torquey engines but they seemed that way because they were very light (around 2500 pounds). Jeeez, I would wet myself if I could find one of those for sale stuffed away in a garage somewhere in prestine condition! Now THAT was a quick/fast little econobox (with much less stigma as a Dodge (cough... Neon) SRT-4!
A car can also be a major "dyno-queen" but not perform nearly as well out on the road. Just ask many of the 500-600hp Toyota Supra Turbo owners. Heck, my '04 Lingenfelter supercharged Corvette Z06 outran Supras that had verified 800hp dyno sheets! FWIW, my car also *only* dyno'd 520hp and 450pft to the rear wheels! Like I said, there are obviously alot of other variables involved...
However, you can't have one without the other (torque and horsepower are exactly the same at 5252rpm). As far as the GTI/SVT Focus comparison, an extra 450 pounds is alot to overcome with just 45-50 pft of torque difference between the two engine outputs, especially since power to weight ratio is about the same for the two cars. One reason the Lotus Elise with 190hp and even more so the Lotus Exige with a measly 220hp can keep up with a 400hp/400pft C6 Corvette with almost HALF the power/torque is it takes alot less power to propel a 2,000 pound car (even if the heavier one has nearly 200pft torque more. Gearing makes torque multiplication more of an equalizer, and I am rather unimpressed with the gear spacing on the SVT (1st gear is waaaaaayyyy too long and is probably a really big reason the car suffers in acceleration tests. I wish there was a way to fix that, but I haven't seen any modified gear ratios available for the transmission or a better transmission available. Perhaps there is a better final drive? I haven't seen one but that would certainly help. Also, the DSI switchover is quite unnerving on these cars in stock form. I don't have the dealer updated tune and my runner changover occurs at 6000 rpm and when it hits, it is quite abrupt. I'm sure a tune which not only lets it open sooner (say 5000 rpm) and having a much smoother transition will work wonders with the powerband.
As far as the stock coil pack, maybe it works on a 300whp car with a conventional spark plug with a decent gap, but not with how I am modifying the electrode (read my other posts in the SVT section). You need a little extra juice to jump the gap. The MSD coil seems to do that. Hence why there is much better flame front travel and a more complete burn. The biggest issue I experienced with the stock coil, bigger wires and modified plugs was with idle quality. You get the gap wide enough using the stock coil and drivability suffers. Oddly enough, the MSD must be doing something because I had a consistant 4-5hp/3-4pft gain from about 3000rpm all the way to 7200 on all three dyno runs. The stock coil with the modified plugs and bigger wires did nothing on the dyno and made for an irratic idle (more like a miss).
This is the reason I asked if anyone had any experience with the Brisk plugs that do not have a conventional electrode. My only experience with a completely open style plug design is with Bosch plugs which don't work in many cars (I've never had positive results with ANY of their plugs unless the car application/ignition was designed specifically for them.

Someone tried to rob an employee of a Findlay restaurant late Saturday night, but ran away when the victim recognized him. The Findlay Police Department says the incident happened around 11:15 p.m. Saturday in the Findlay Village Mall parking lot.
An employee of Tokyo Japanese Steakhouse was locking up when he was approached by a young man wearing a black bandana over his face. The suspect punched the employee and demanded money. The victim ran toward a lighted area, where the suspect caught up with him. The victim told the suspect he knew who he was, and the suspect took off running west toward Plaza Street.
No money was taken. The employee suffered minor injuries but did not need medical attention. The case remains under investigation.

Olive Bistro
Steve Masri is a busy man. If you followed him around for a day, you might find the chef and owner of Olive Bistro hand picking fresh salad greens and high-quality olive oil, lamb, and imported tahini to incorporate into his Old-World family recipes. Masri—who, according to a 2010 review by Meridith Ford Goldman of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, was born in Sardinia and raised in Israel—works hard to honor his heritage with dishes such as from-scratch hummus and fragrant rosemary chicken. But he also adds his own signature twists, including the daily ravioli special and a tomato-basil sauce that replaces traditional marinara in his moussaka and lasagna.
And Masri's dedication has paid off. His pair of intimate bistros were on CBS Atlanta's 2012 list of the Best Mediterranean Cuisine in Atlanta, and Cliff Bostock of Creative Loafing Atlanta was one of several reviewers to recommend the falafel, saying that it has "no equal in the city." The Midtown location earned three Best of Citysearch awards in 2008 for its salads, sandwiches, and small plates. The bistros' outdoor patios make ideal spots to chat with friends over shared meze and a bottle of wine, or construct a replica of the Parthenon out of sliced eggplant.

All-Purpose All-Genre Sailor Senshi Costume Thread
View Single Post
Lady of Avalon
Join Date: Jul 2002
Posts: 329
I've done 2 anime/manga (Moon and Pluto) and I'm almost, almost done with my Myu Pluto.
==Senshi Fuku==
-Did you use a figure skating uniform or t-shirt or leotard as a base?
Moon -- Leotard. Plutos -- Green Pepper all the way!
-Is your collar attached or removable?
All 3 of them are removeable. Don't ask how many snapes are on the Myu. (I don't know how to set zippers so I had to improvise.)
-How does your collar attach/is it attached all the way around?
Snaps and more snaps.
-Where did you get the 'button' in the center of the bow?
Pluto is a plastic ring wrapped in fabric. Moon is sequins and Myu is Sculpey.
-Did you stuff the piping around the skirt and sleeves with cotton fluff or batting?
Yes. Fluff.
-Where's you get the shoes?
I make bootcovers for everything. I can make good ones fairly quickly now.
-What's your opinion on boot covers?
I like them is they look accurate and done well.
-How'd you make your tiara?
Wire and various fabrics. Plastic Rhinestones.
-Do you carry accesories with your costume?
I have Moon's wands, and I have the stuff to make a Time Key but I need to find a drill press.
-Anime or manga?
Yes. Myu too.
-What fabric types?
Moon -- Silkessence. It's soo flowy!
Pluto -- Baroque Satin. Yes Satin. It looks good!
Myu -- Casa Crepe and the requisite crapload of trim.
-How much did it all cost?
Too Much.
-Did you pleat your skirt?
For the regular senshi dresses, no I was going for the flowy manga look. For the Myu, sort of.
-Have you ever seen or used the McCall's discontinued Sailor Moon pattern?
==Live Action Uniforms and Fuku==
-Can anyone tell me what the emblem on their right sleeve is?
-How do these collars attach? Seems to be from inside, doesn't it?
-Does anyone have plans yet to cosplay these new outfits?
I Like the stuffed breastplate effect on the new senshi uniforms. It's the best way I've ever seen to capture the bustline that I've never really seen captured.

Sunday, February 24 was the second Sunday in Lent. Altar and vestment colors are violet and during Lent morning prayer is replaced by The Litany or General Supplication for God's mercy which is chanted by the priest and congregation. Bishop Hartley based his seromon on the Epistle for the day, 1st Thess. 4:1, in which instruction in sanctification, which means that we must be set apart from the world and follow God.
We are thrilled that Lincoln Connell has been accepted at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He was nominated by both U.S. Senators from Missouri as well as by Rep. JoAnn Emerson, and last Friday received a call from Rep. Emerson's office with the news that he has been accepted. It has been his life long dream to go to West Point where he plans to major in military history and minor in religion.
The latest word I received on Fr. Lew Heigham, Jr. he is still in the hospital in St. Louis and was undergoing surgery. We have added him to our prayer list.

This website is part of the ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) network
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
Houweling H et al. – February 2010 – Vaccine 2010; DOI 10.1016/j.vaccine.2010.02.021. Published ahead of print. Criteria for inclusion of vaccinations in public programmes
Description: This paper describes the experience in the Netherlands in developing a framework for assessing whether a vaccination should be included in the National Immunisation Programme (NIP). Bearing in mind the public nature, the factors that determine a vaccine's suitability for inclusion in a communal vaccination programme have been translated into seven selection criteria, grouped under five thematic headings: seriousness and extent of the disease burden, effectiveness and safety of the vaccination, acceptability of the vaccination, efficiency of the vaccination, and priority of the vaccination. The seven criteria and the explanation of them provide a framework for the systematic examination of arguments for and against the inclusion and prioritisation of particular vaccinations. As an illustration, the vaccinations currently provided in the Netherlands through public programmes as well as 23 'candidate' vaccinations are assessed against the seven criteria. The proposed assessment framework including the selection criteria can take full account of the values and specificities as they may differ between situations and countries; the transparency of the approach may help to clarify which elements of the assessment are pivotal in specific situations.
ECDC comment: Several new vaccines for children and young adults have been introduced recently or are currently discussed in different European countries and worldwide. As new vaccines are licensed, countries face complex decisions regarding which vaccines to introduce in their routine immunisation schedules and which to fund. The development of common criteria which could help ensure an informed and transparent decision-making process and the exchange of different experiences – good and bad – should be encouraged. The presented article summarises the Netherland's experience and provides a good start for discussion.

This pdf is of the chanting book which I have put together from various sources and a lot of typing by myself. The Thai temple I am in has both morning and evening chanting and on observance days the lay people join in so on those days we also chant the Thai translation after each Pali stanza.
Most of the Pali has English translations too.
The Thai/Roman script transliterations I made up myself to sound as close to the Thai as possible (based upon my own personal study and practice of Thai for twenty years.)
There is a Thai chant called 'Chiiwit Nooy' which is untranslated but is popular with the young... and I have a video of it on my Youtube account here...
The chants at the end starting with 'Orgassa Orgassa...' are chants in Northern Thai to make aspirations before doing a meditation session for about ten minutes together....followed by the dedication and sharing of merits obtained.
Remembering that each temple in Thailand, and elsewhere, all do their chants slightly differently, so this book will not be able to be used everywhere without some editing and/or skipping of chants.
I forgot to say that you need the pali Times font installed for the Pali script to show properly.

Would you ever consider fake bangs?

I came across this post about Fake Bangs, which at first I thought was a ridiculous idea. However, being born with extremely curly hair, like the author and much like the author, I too always wanted blunt cut bangs. Now I have the chance and when I think about it sounds pretty fantastic. What do you think?

Most of us know that life insurance helps provide overall peace of mind, but have you considered the specific reasons why you personally may need life insurance? It's practical and wise to anticipate how your loved ones will pay the bills when you pass away. Sometimes, it's the combination of whole and/or term life insurance benefits that can help families cover daily expenses, medical bills, funeral costs and more.
No one wants their family to experience hardship in paying their burial expenses. This may be one reason why you'd consider adding a small supplemental life insurance policy — just for an amount that would cover those final expenses. Or, even if you already have an employer-sponsored life insurance policy, maybe its face value is a little too low for comfort, when compared to your family's needs. Additionally, some people purchase life insurance protection when an existing insurance term policy is ending or has already expired.
Regardless of your age or circumstances, purchasing a new or supplemental life insurance policy can provide your family with a measure of financial protection to help:
If you've thought of life insurance as an extra monthly expense that you can't afford to add, maybe it's time to reconsider. Remember that the entire face value of a life insurance policy can pay out to your beneficiaries, generally tax-free.
Dennis, a 60-year-old retired construction worker, illustrates one example of a typical reason to purchase life insurance. Recently divorced and remarried, he didn't renew his term life policy when it ended, because his children were self-supporting. But Dennis and his new wife, Joan, just bought a small townhome together. So, to help Joan pay the mortgage if he passes away first, Dennis quickly and easily purchased a whole life insurance policy that will pay $50,000 to Joan when he dies. He chose an affordable life insurance policy with no medical exam and didn't even have to give a blood sample.
Then there's Heather, a 54-year-old teacher and a widow. She supports herself and her daughter, Tina, now in college. Heather and Tina are comfortably able to live in their house because Heather's husband, who had a whole life insurance policy, also purchased a $10,000 term life policy for final expenses.
Because of his foresight, Heather still has the funds to help pay for the mortgage and Tina's tuition.
Consider your own peace of mind and your family's needs, and you too may choose to purchase term or whole life insurance. With so many companies offering free information kits and rate quotes — you can easily compare the benefits and find the answers you need.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/2/2014 (1240 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Along with 26 reported arrests on Friday and Saturday, city police investigated a downtown stabbing which lead to two arrests.
Brandon Police Service said a 56-year-old Brandon man suffered non-life threatening injuries to "upper body" just after 6 p.m. Friday night. The man was treated and released from hospital later in the evening.
The two accused, ages 25 and 29, have been jailed and will appear in court Monday morning.
The 29-year-old is charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and breach of recognizance. The 25-year-old is facing a single charge of aggravated assault.
Meanwhile, the 26 unrelated weekend arrests were for a number of reasons, including breach of the peace, consuming alcohol under the age of 18 years, breach of court orders, and on outstanding warrants of arrest.

The Jewish Student in America - Chapter Three: A Census of Jewish Students
By Lee Levinger
B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations Commission, Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, April 1937
The author summarizes and details the distribution of Jewish college students in 1934-35. Jewish students favor:
- universities and professional schools
- the larger institutions
- the public and privately endowed colleges.
They do not attend in large numbers
- teachers colleges and junior colleges,
- institutions of fewer than 1000 registered students, and
- Church-supported and Church-controlled colleges.

An additional 149 institutions have 25-100 Jews, and 580 have less than 25. There are 477 colleges with no Jewish students, representing nearly one-third of all American colleges.

Characteristics of successful government/non-profit relations in Queensland, Australia
Ryan, Neal F., Furneaux, Craig W., & Lewis, Dianne S. (2006) Characteristics of successful government/non-profit relations in Queensland, Australia. In Tenth International Research Symposium on Public Management (IRSPM X), 10 - 12 April 2006, Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland. (Unpublished)
|PDF (114kB)
Non-profit organisations are major providers of services in many fields and often receive financial support from government. This paper investigates a number of different forms of government/non-profit relationships, with the viewpoint being mainly, though not exclusively, from the perspective of the non-profit agencies. Research methods included collecting primary data from peak agencies, service providers and government staff; and gathering secondary data from government and the agencies connected with the specific funding programs. Two programs were selected for further examination and became case studies in order to identify the elements of what makes a successful funding program.
Three typologies of government/non-profit relations were identified as relevant. An analysis of the models shows that, while they provide an excellent springboard for the process of typifying government/non-profit relationships, there are inconsistencies when the models are compared with one another. In particular, none of the models allows for a comparison of relationships across a number of variables such as those of values, power and objectives. In view of this, a new model is proposed and explained, which builds on previous models and provides a means for the advancement of government/non-profit relationships. The model may prove useful in analysing the current condition of relationships between non-profit agencies and government departments.

looking to buy a 2006 530xi with 56K on it - BMW experts please guide me
Hello folks - I am planning to step into the BMW world with a plan to buy a -
2006 BMW 5 Series 530xi Wagon AWD - clean title 2 owners, 56K Miles
+ Nav
+ Rear Parking Sensors,
+ HEATED Front Seats
Dealer is asking 22995
Wanted to know if this is a good price, and any significant issues that you all have experienced with this model that I need to be wary of?
Also will appreciate if you folks can point out any specific items I need to watch out for while checking the car out physically?
Finally what would be the cost I would incur if I were to buy a extended warranty - say bumper to bumper to cover the car?
Any good companies you all have used in the past to buy ext warr you can suggest?
Sincere appreciation in advance to all of you for any help.
About one year ago, I bought a 2006 530xi with 100k miles on it from Kuni BMW in Portland, OR. Similar packages, cold weather, etc. The sticker price was $23-24k if I recall correctly. I offered $18k, and I ended up paying $19,300. It was a single owner, and sedan, but otherwise very similar to yours. 12k miles later, I have had no serious problems with it. Not sure if I really needed the xDrive, but its nice peace of mind knowing I have it.
I credit a lot of this to the dealer I bought it from, because I do not know much at all about cars. I was very impressed by them. Now I have no idea if I actually got a "good" deal, but I am very happy with the purchase. This is also the first car I've ever bought.
On the contrary, a coworker bought a 2004 3-series from a random used car lot for $10k. It had less miles on it, and was a bit older and far less packages on it, but a few weeks later, he found out it had no spare tire in it!
Call a third-party mechanic and see if you can get it checked by them.
I am far from a "BMW expert" but I just throw these tidbits out there for price comparison and to share what I know...
Thanks Pfollmer....assuring to know your experience and thanks for such a prompt post...did you buy any extended warranty?
I am planning to buy it in the SF bay area in CA.
Would you mind sharing the dealer name ...i go upto portland a lot for work around the NE airport pkwy.
It always helps to know you can trust a dealer ...so if this one does not work I may look to see if your dealer has a similar car...not much of a deal to drive it down back from there worst case.
Thanks again
I wasn't eligable to buy the official BMW used car warrenty because my car had over 70k miles or something. Even if I was, I generally steer away from extended warrentys because if it was profitable for the consumer, they wouldn't offer them.
I got mine from Kuni BMW in Beaverton. http://www.kunibmw.com/ I was not planning to buy a car that day, and didn't think I could afford a BMW. Before I even drove it off the lot, I knew I'd get it, if I could afford it haha. Luckily I didnt get stuck with buyers remorse.
Kuni is a BMW "Center of Excellence" which means somthing amongst BMW dealers... not sure what though. But shoot, if you end up buying from there, drop my name. Maybe I'll get a little bonus too Peter Follmer
Seems a little high , you may be better off in a 535.
The price does seem high, even with that mileage you should be paying under $20k. The reason you didn't qualify for a BMW extended warranty is not because of mileage (you only have 56k), it's because of age, they don't warranty anything past 6yrs/100k and since the one you'ree looking at is a 2006 it no longer qualifies for a BMW warranty.

I paid $17.5K for an 07 530xi with 65k miles, Nav, premium, cold weather and night vision from a private party.
They are very reliable. But there are a few things you should be aware of.
Look for water stains at tthe fabric by the top of the real pillars, behind the sunroof. The sunroof seal is guaranteed to leak. It did in my 06 530i, my wife's 07 530xi and my buddy's 06 530xi as well. Look for a cracked rear window seal as well.
Look for transmission leaks, the mechatronics seal is a popular leak.
The water pump was replaced in my wife's car at 70k miles.
Both mine and my wife's oil condition sensor had to be replaced as well. I would ask the dealer to have the sunroof seal and mechatronics seal taken care of as part of the deal.
All our issues were covered by our Route 66 exclusionary warranty. The warranty cost us $1895 for 5 years/100K miles and we got it along with the lowest possible loan rate ever at penFed.org. So far I have been very happy with the warranty and the credit union. There are ways to join penfed even if you are not affiliated with the Government. Search.
Check the battery date and insist to be replaced if older than 3 years old.
I'd highly recommend having an indy perform an all fluids change, including transmission, transfer case , front and rear differentials and reset all adaptations after that. The transfer case fluid change is hard to do on the xi as you have to remove the exhaust and the transfer case support brace to grt to the fill plug. We did this in my garage but it took us a whole day. Change the oil and change it again after 3K miles and every 7k miles afterwards. This should help clean up some components such as the vanos solenoids. Use Castrol 0w-30 European Car formula. These engines love that oil, trust me . If you do all that, you will have a car that performs as new and with some preventive maintenance it will last for a very long time. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions. I know these cars in and out.
Good luck!

I just pick up a 06 530xi with 60k for 15900$. Clean carfax 2 owners. Car has been with the same dealer since new. Second owner purchased it certified. Not crazy loaded but has premium sound cold package and Dakota leather. I believe it has the premium package. But no navi but super clean. Dealer is jmk fiat who's big brother dealer is jmk BMW in north jersey. Warranty I was offered was 4 grand
That car has N52 engine. It's not a rocket; however, it's very reliable and very good on the gas mileage - you should get close to 30MPG on the highway.
Valve cover gasket tends to leak, oil filter housing gasket tends to leak, keep an eye for coolant leaks at coolant reservoir, radiator, lower hose. Electrical connector sleeve on the transmission tends to leak; keep an eye on it. If not already done so, move all the electronics items under the spare tire to either side of the trunk.

Thanks. I think I did ok. But originally I had it bad for the 545 model. I seen 3 of them. And all 3 had substantial leaks the one had every possible option. From smg , nav, sport package and heads up display. Had 80k, dealer wanted 14$. But walked away. Hope I don't regret it. I had no idea the 6 cylinder has leak issues too?
- valve cover gasket leak - have your mechanic check for this
- transmission pan gasket leak - have your mechanic check for this, not cheap to change. Have the tranny fluid changed!
I bought my after market from warranty direct (https://www.warrantydirect.com/) I don't know what they'll offer. I am off warranty now.
Good luck to you.
06 530xi SW w/Sport Pkg,, 07 328xi,
Gone 06 325xi, 06 530xi SW, 12 328i
To all - cannot appreciate enough the value of all the information you folks have provided me with - thanks a lot for your time to chime in.
06 530xi( 2 owners) + prem pkg +Prem sound + cold pkg +60K = 15900(dealer price)
Mine(hope it becomes mine)
06 530xi Wagon(2 owners - one of them was a fleet/lease)+ Nav+Pkng Snsr +Prem Pkg+Roller Blinds+htd frnt seats + 56K = 22995(dealer asking price)
So net difference is
Nav + Pkn Snsr + Roller Blinds +htd frnt seats + 4k lower mileage - prem snd - cold pkg
so assuming I use 15900 as the base price - experts please advice how much does this equate to based on the above difference + or - from 15900
BigJule111 - one thing you did not mention whether your's was an wagon or sedan and does the wagon command any price preminum by virtue of being an AWD vehicle or just being an wagon( more luggage space etc...)
As always my thanks in advance for any guidance.
Hello pkm. Nice breakdown. Lol. Mine is the sedan. I do believe there's a premium in price for the wagon. Also if mine came a lil more equipped I Woudnt had mine ponying up a lil more coin for it Thats y I kind of regretted not getting the 545. Was that it had every,and I mean every option BMW had available. But I think u getting a nice ride. The wagons are nice and also not very common! I say Good luck to both of us lol
pkmbmw...Did you get it?
FWIW - I think $23K is way too high for that Wagon.
It's a 7 year old car,
It's not fully optioned
It's probably worth $18K, 19K at most.
At $23K, your looking at 08 535xi wagons with 60-70K miles, moderately equipped for that. As a matter of fact, there is a 08 535xiT with 75K miles near me with Cold Weather Premium and Sport (no nav) for 19K from an Audi dealer. Another one near me is $22K with 68K miles with Preium/Cold weather, no nav or sport.
I am looking at an 07 530xi wagon this w/e. Fully loaded: nav, logic7 sound, premium, cold weather (no sport though), 6-cd changer, aux, satellite, Park Sensors, etc. 70K miles, $19K
Really don't bother getting the sports pkg on the wagons or Xi models in general, it is an appearance pkg only. You will get the sports seats and the shadowline trim, but nothing functional like the sports suspension, active steering, ARS, etc.

Thanks for the advice ...not yet ....I found another one n Portland which is the same config but has 44K miles on it ...the dealer is asking 27K ...negotiating now .....but if that falls through i may go back to the 56K one.
I do agree 23K is too high ....I am going to start with 18K for the 56K one and 20K for the 44K one and see where it goes.....the 44k one is in Portland so I may have to pay taxes when I transfer to CA where I am .
Yeah ...I wish I could look at those you mentioned but I see you are in Boston....I will loose the negotiation in transport and transfer....
I just purchased an '06 530xi sport wagon with 98k miles. Clean title, full service reports and carfax. Fully loaded: Steptronic 6 speed, winter, sport package. HUD, heated seats, bluetooth, RFT Michelin, Paid $14.500. The car looks new inside and out. The leather is perfect. The one you're looking @ with 56k, seems a tad high, but the low mileage is worth quite a bit. Also I'm in Northern Cal.
The only problem I had with the car was water leaking into the rear compartment, from the moonroof drain hose. The hose was clogged and had to be cleaned by removing the rear bumber skin and a few plastic interior parts. It took about 2.5 hours and cost about $ 270.00. This seems to be a huge problem with the '06 and '07 moonroofs. Keep those drain lines clear year round. Crud gets in there and dries up clogging the tail piece in the hose. The water backs up and finds it's way down to the rear cargo area. The headliner can also get wet and stained if not taken care of.

Looking at a used '10 BMW 528i X Drive - Should I buy it?
I've been looking at 3 Series BMWs for about a month. I've driven a few and I like them. But my better half made a valid observation when she noted that the 328i I was looking at is much smaller than the '99 Buick Century I'm currently driving. With that I quickly found a 528i on a used car lot. Unfortunately it's on a Chevrolet lot and not a BMW lot. But the car is well contented. It has AWD, two-owner, comes with a three-month warranty, moonroof, heated leather pwr memory seats, rear A/C, Sat. radio, bluetooth, 17" alloy wheels, rain sensing wipers, MP3, front dual zone A/C, frt/rr anti-roll bars, pwr telescoping steering column, and lots more. But the car has fairly high mileage at nearly 70k miles. And the dealer is asking $23,900 which is, I feel, high. But otherwise it's a nice car. Also, BMW recommends premium fuel for most of it's vehicles. I wonder if I can operate this car on midrange (maybe regular?). Your thoughts?
Do not use anything but premium in Bmw. It's small price to pay to keep this great car healty and running that way it meant to run.

Organic Coconut Palm Sugar
This delightful unrefined brown sugar is made from the nectar of the coconut palm tree flower. It has a warm caramel flavor and can replace brown or white sugar in recipes. We think it tastes amazing in chocolate desserts and is a staple in Asian dishes as well.
1 cup - organic coconut palm sugar = 1 cup - refined brown or white sugar

Nice Coconut Palm Sugar
I prefer coconut sugar and is better for you than cane sugar or fructose or agavae . It is very sweet so only need 1/2 a teaspoon in my cuppa. Most brands I have tried are very similar so they all are good as long as they are organic I am happy. Thank iherb for great customer service and deliver!

I usually add it to my unsweetened soy milk. The granules are fine and dissolve easily in hot beverages. Sweetness is mild and pleasant and it does not change the taste of my soy milk drastically. Occasionally, I see tiny black specks. I guess that's because it's natural and I am not too bothered by it.
packing Shortfall

Please pack the sugar content concealed or Ziplock first within / below the ziplock line. All the sugar got into the space beween the Ziplock the cut line. Once I ripped open the plastic bag - the sugar in that space fall out - it's messy
