text: Der Olmesser: The Big Deal With Burnouts? Share Comments I don't understand the appeal of the burnout. There – I said it. And I'm well aware that by making such a statement, I might just as well have also said, "I'm very, very old, and totally out of touch with what the young folks are doing these days." Oh well… Old I may be, but I actually have performed my share of burnouts in my day. Hell, when I was in high school, I even had as a hand-me-down my father's '77 Trans-Am, complete with a "real" Pontiac 6.6, Hurst 4-speed, and Posi' rear end. Burnouts were the order of the day in that mullet-mobile. I've also had more than my fair share of VR6T and VR6S/C-equipped VWs – some with Quaife diffs, some without – and as such, I'm well aware of the fun-factor that comes with driving a ridiculously over-powered FWD vehicle. Thing is, though, that I'm also old enough to remember when VW transmissions were more fragile than a house of cards in a wind storm, and an exploding spider gear assembly was always at the forefront of my mind, anytime I got overly tempted to "light 'em up." I suppose what I really don't get, is how burnouts have become so popular with the import crowds (including VW). We now have burnout contests at all the major shows, and the popularity of these displays truly perplexes me. It's one thing to watch someone enter a bleach-box, light up their drag slicks for a few seconds, move to the staging area, then drive their way to a ten or eleven second 1/4-mile pass… But that's not what I'm talking about here, obviously. Seeing hundreds of folks cheering psychotically as some dude in a '82 Rabbit makes smoky mince-meat out of a pair of space-saver spare tires puzzles me to no end. I'm not saying I think it's terrible or that we need to ban such activities – not at all. I'm just wondering why, after seeing such a sight once or twice, would anyone get excited the third, fourth, or hundredth time? I cannot, however, deny that these contests are very popular, and that there must truly be reasons why, even if I can't see them. So I'm going to ask you, VWvortex reader, to explain it to me. Keep in mind that I am very old, and possibly quite dense as well, so please take your time, be as descriptive as possible, and if the truth lies somewhere between a series of cold, hard facts and a steaming pile of bull feces, well, that's fine, too – I'm more than willing to listen. I realize I'm asking a lot here, so I've taken steps to make it worth your time and effort. Our good friends from the Great White North, Dustan and Warren from RPI-Equipped (A.K.A. Doug and Bob McKenzie), have graciously donated a $50.00 gift certificate to the reader who best captures, via their reply to the linked discussion forum below, the essence of the burnout's appeal. Whoever can make me see what you see, feel what you feel, and smell what you smell, will win that $50.00 G.C., and I'll announce the winner on Friday, August 13, in the same discussion thread linked below. Thanks in advance – now get to writin'! For more discussion on this story, click on the link to our discussion forums at the left.

Jeld-Wen alleges price fixing among four glass manufacturers
April 12, 2011
Jeld-Wen, Klamath Falls, Ore., filed a complaint, March 28, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon Medford Division, alleging that AGC Flat Glass North America, Alpharetta, Ga.; Guardian Industries, Auburn Hills, Mich.; Pilkington North America, Toledo, Ohio; and PPG Industries, Pittsburgh, "contracted, conspired or combined to fix, raise, maintain or stabilize prices of, and allocate business for, flat glass they sold in the United States during the claim period," January 1, 2002, through at least December 31, 2006. Consequently, Jeld-Wen had to pay "inflated prices" for approximately $100 million in glass products that it bought directly from the defendants during the claim period, the complaint states.
"Beginning at least as early as January 1, 2002, defendants agreed to and did fix, raise and maintain the prices of Flat Glass purchased by JELD-WEN during the Claim Period by imposing identical surcharges, such as "energy surcharges" and representing that these surcharges were necessary to offset increased prices of natural gas and electricity, when in fact, defendants' energy costs were not uniform and these "surcharges" were a ruse to allow them to raise prices. In addition, defendants announced and implemented a series of price increases during the Claim Period, pursuant to the conspiracy alleged herein," the Jeld-Wen complaint reads.
At press time, AGC, Guardian and PPG had not responded to Glass Magazine's request for comment. Pilkington declined to comment, as did Jeld-Wen.

Extended Event Handlers (XEH) by Solus and Killswitch¶
Version: 18.104.22.168
Released: 2012-07-31
Creator: Solus
Maintainer: Killswitch, Sickboy
Contributors: Spooner
This addon allows a virtually infinite amount of event handlers to be used together from different addons. The event handlers are executed for the matching class and all inheriting classes. The event handler init line also contains the extended event handler class to look for, so you can have a custom inheritance for custom units.
Normally event handlers can only be added in configs, and trying to add a new event handler caused all previous event handlers to be overwritten. This addon allows that limitation to be overcome. This is mostly useful for having addons that can add different functionality, for example in OFP addons that had their own event handlers wouldn't inherit default event handlers, such as a custom unit with EHs being used with ECP or FFUR wouldn't have the ECP or FFUR effects.
"Other" extended event handlers by Killswitch¶
This adds support for using extended event handlers for all Arma event types
Extended fired event handler¶
This allows a virtually infinite amount of fired event handlers to be used together from different addons.
The extended fired event handler has several different parts:
First the extended init EH is run for all units to add together and compile all of the inherited fired event handlers and use setVariable to attach those to the unit.
The extended fired event handler is added to the base class called Extended_EventHandlers so that all the CfgVehicles class EventHandlers
inherit it. When a unit fires and sets off the event handler the shot is immediately captured in the same game state cycle. Then the compiled
extended fired events are called by using getVariable to retrieve them from the unit.
The fired event handler init line contains the extended event handler class to look for, so you can have a custom inheritance for custom units. The event handlers are executed for the matching class and all inheriting classes.
It allows more fired events to be used together, for example a script that makes shots affected by wind and a tracer script could be used together.
There are two example Extended Init addons included to demonstrate how to assign new event handlers and the event handler inheritance. The example pbos should not be installed except for testing.
There is an example addon included to demonstrate how to assign new fired event handlers and the event handler inheritance. The example also has a quickly called function that is able to capture information on the shot in the same game state cycle before the shot is updated and moves away from it's starting position and changes it's status. The example pbo should not be installed except for testing.
The addon "SightAdjustment_AutoInit.pbo" is an addon that makes gmJamez' "GMJ_SightAdjustment" addon compatible with XEH.
Note to addon makers: Before XEH 1.1, you had to make sure to add a ";" at the end of your extended init line to separate it from other extended inits. This is no longer necessary - the Extended Init EH will separate them automatically, so ending without one won't cause a problem.
New features¶
New in 1.3: Limiting certain event handler to a specific vehicle class¶
The example addon "SLX_Advanced_Init_Example" shows how to create an XEH init EH that will only be used on units that are of the class SoldierWB,
ie the West "Rifleman". Units that inherit from "SoldierWB", eg the Grenadier, won't run the init EH.
One can do the same thing for the other XEH event types. For example, to add a "GetIn" event handler that works only on the the vehicle XYZ_BRDM2, but not on the XYZ_BRDM2_ATGM variant you would do something like this:
... class Extended_GetIn_Eventhandlers { class XYZ_BRDM2 { class XYZ_BRDM2_GetIn { scope = 0; getin = "[] exec '\xyz_brdm2\getin.sqf'"; }; }; }; class Vehicles { ... class XYZ_BRDM2: BRDM2 { ... }; class XYZ_BRDM2_ATGM: XYZ_BRDM2 { ... }; };
Note that within that innermost XEH class, you have to put a string value with the same name as the desired event handler. In the above example it was "getin". For the "fired" event handler, you would use
... class Extended_Fired_Eventhandlers { class SoldierEB { class XYZ_SoldierEB_fired { scope=0; // We wish to make a SoldierEB-specific *Fired* EH, so the // property name should be "fired" // fired = "_this call XYZ_SoldierEB_fired"; }; }; }; ...
New in 1.5: Excluding certain descendant vehicle types¶
With XEH 1.5, you can exclude one or more subtypes of a vehicle from getting a certain XEH event handler. To do this, you add a directive,
exclude, in an inner, "composite" XEH class (introduced in 1.3).
Here's an example of how to exclude the west pilot class from running the basic Man class XEH init event handler. Instead, there's a special
init for the pilot ("SoldierWPilot"). Note that all subclasses of "SoldierWPilot" will be excluded from using the basic class Man XEH init too.
/* * Init XEH exclusion example 1 */ class CfgPatches { class xeh_exclusion_example1 { units[]={}; weapons[]={}; requiredVersion=0.1; requiredAddons[]={"Extended_Eventhandlers"}; }; }; class Extended_Init_Eventhandlers { class Man { // To use the exclude directive, we'll have to make this an // "inner" (composite) XEH init EH class class XEH_Exclusion1_Man { exclude="SoldierWPilot"; init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example1\init_man.sqf'"; }; }; class SoldierWPilot { xeh_init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example1\init_west_pilot.sqf'"; }; };
In the second example, we'll exclude both the standard west and east pilots and add unique init EH:S to them and the BIS Camel pilot. To do so, use the exclude[] directive in array form:
/* * Init XEH exclusion example 2 */ class CfgPatches { class xeh_exclusion_example2 { units[]={}; weapons[]={}; requiredVersion=0.1; requiredAddons[]={"Extended_Eventhandlers"}; }; }; class Extended_Init_Eventhandlers { class Man { // To use the exclude directive, we'll have to make this an // "inner" (composite) XEH init EH class class XEH_Exclusion2_Man { exclude[] = {"SoldierWPilot", "SoldierEPilot"}; init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_man.sqf'"; }; }; // All descendants of SoldierEPilot will use this XEH init EH class SoldierEPilot { xeh_init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_east_pilot.sqf'"; }; // Using scope=0, only SoldierWPilot will get this particular XEH init class SoldierWPilot { class XEH_OnlyWPilot { scope = 0; init = "[] execVM '\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_west_pilot.sqf'"; }; }; // Here, we add an event handler for the BIS Camel Pilot (which is a // descendant of "SoldierWPilot". It won't run "init_west_pilot.sqf" though // since we used "scope=0" above. class BISCamelPilot { xeh_init="[] execVM'\xeh_exclusion_example2\init_west_camel_pilot.sqf'"; }; };
You can do the same thing with the other XEH event types (fired, hit and so on).
New in 1.8: making XEH init event handlers run when a unit respawns¶
Normally, when a player respawns into a new unit (object), the init event handler is not executed again. However, with XEH 1.8, you can make an XEH init event handler be rerun when the new unit spawns. To do so, declare your init EH as a "composite EH class" (described above). Then, add a property to it called "onRespawn" and set it to true (the number 1).
Here's an example that shows how to do it:
#define false 0 #define true 1 class Extended_Init_Eventhandlers { class Man { class SLX_XEH_RespawnInitMan { onRespawn = true; // Run this even after respawn init = "_this call My_Respawn_InitEH"; }; }; };
The example above will cause all classes that are descendants of class "Man" to have the function "My_Respawn_InitEH" called both when the unit is created and after a player has respawned into a new unit.
Note that unless you have "onRespawn=true" like above, XEH will use the default ArmA behaviour which is to NOT run the init EH when a unit respawns.
IMPORTANT: This feature will only work on the player's unit - AI units that respawn won't have their XEH init EH:s re-executed. (If someone can figure out a trick to identify playable units in a MP mission, this limitation could be removed)
New in 1.9: version stringtable and "pre-init EH" code¶
You can get a string with the version of Extended_Eventhandlers using the "localize" command. Here's an example function which will return the
version as a decimal number or "0" if XEH isn't installed:
/* Return the version of Extended_Eventhandlers, or 0 if the addon isn't installed. */ _fXEHversion = { private ["_str", "_cfg", "_ver"]; _cfg=(configFile/"CfgPatches"/"Extended_Eventhandlers"/"SLX_XEH2_Version"); _ver=0; _str=localize "STR_SLX_XEH_VERSION"; if !(_str == "") then { _ver=call compile _str; } else { // XEH version 1.8 and earlier lacks the stringtable version if (isNumber _cfg) then { _ver=getNumber _cfg; }; }; _ver };
Another addition is a way to put code that you want to run only once in a new class, Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers. Anything in that class will
be called early and before any of the normal extended init event handlers have run.
Here's an example: let's say there's an addon with the following XEH init:
// Addon: SLX_MyAddon (old) class Extended_Init_EventHandlers { class Man { SLX_Man_init="_this call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\SLX_MyAddon\init.sqf'"; }; };
Using the "pre-init" system, that can be rewritten as:
// Addon: SLX_MyAddon (new) class Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers { // The name "SLX_MyAddon_init" needs to be unique SLX_MyAddon_init="SLX_fInit=compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\SLX_MyAddon\init.sqf'"; }; class Extended_Init_EventHandlers { class Man { // Call the function we loaded in the PreInit class SLX_Man_init="_this call SLX_fInit"; }; };
Warning: if you write your addon using this new "pre-init" system, keep in mind that it won't work with XEH versions older than 1.9.
New in 1.91: PostInit and InitPost¶
Two new event handler types can be used to execute things at a later stage, when all XEH init EH:s have run and all mission.sqm init lines have been processed by ArmA. It happens just before the mission's "init.sqf" is executed.
The PostInit handler mirrors the pre-init event handler introduced in 1.9 and will make a code snippet run once per mission. Example:
class Extended_PostInit_EventHandlers { // Run "late_init.sqf" just before the mission's init.sqf and after // all other init EH:s and mission editor init lines have been processed SLX_MyAddon_postinit="[] execVM 'SLX_MyAddon\late_init.sqf"; };
The other event handler, InitPost type mimics the mission editor init lines in that it will be run once on every unit and vehicle in the mission. You write the InitPost EH just like you would the normal XEH init, fired etc handlers. That means you have to wrap the handler in the desired vehicle/unit class for which you want the InitPost EH applied. As an example, you could use this to set a per-unit variable that's needed for your addon. It needs to be done for all units that are derived from the CAManBase class. Here's how it would look:
class Extended_InitPost_EventHandlers { class CAManBase { // Make sure everyone is happy when the mission starts SLX_MyAddon_init="_this setVariable ['slx_myaddon_ishappy', true]"; }; };
New in 2.00: Support for ArmA II, serverInit and clientInit entries¶
XEH is now useable in ArmA II and adds support for a new ArmA II event - the "firedNear" event.
Running init EHs on just the client or just the server¶
Furthermore, one can limit a certain init EH to just clients or just servers by placing it in a
serverInit or
clientInit entry within one of the Init EH classes (ie within
Extended_Init_EventHandlers or
class Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers { // This one will be run once on ALL machines SLX_MyAddon_PreInit="SLX_myFunc=compile preprocessFileLineNumbers '\myaddon\myfunc.sqf'" /* In order to have client- or server-only pre-init snippets, stick them into a class within * Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers. The class itself can be called anything, but try to * think of a unique name. */ class SLX_MyAddon_PreInits { // Like the normal preinit above, this one runs on all machines init = "...code here..."; // This code will be executed once and only on the server serverInit = "...server-only code goes here..."; // This snippet runs once and only on client machines clientInit = "...client-only code here..."; }; };
New in 2.04: mission and campaign XEH event handlers.¶
XEH is no longer limited to just addons - mission makers can create extended event handlers that appear in specific missions or a campaign by adding
an extended event handler class in the mission or campaign 'description.ext' file. As an example, if you put the following code in a mission description.ext
and place a USMC rifleman in the mission editor, the player will sideChat information on the fired event every time you fire the rifle:
class Extended_Fired_Eventhandlers { class USMC_Soldier { kls_test_fired="(_this select 0)sideChat str(_this)"; }; };
New in 3.02: OO-like event handler overridance in child classes.¶
Consider CfgVehicle classes A and B where B is a descendant of A:
class CfgVehicles { ... class A { ... }; class B: A { ... }; };
Now, imagine the following extended init event handler definitions exist for both A and B:
class Extended_Init_EventHandlers { class A { ab_myinit = "A=true"; }; class B { ab_myinit = "B=true"; // Same name as in class A, so we'll replace that one }; };
Note how both handler entries are named "ab_myinit". In previous versions of Extended Eventhandlers, both code snippets would be executed for instances of class B in a mission - both the variables A and B would be set. (Internally, when XEH processed the Init event handlers for B, it would first execute ab_myinit from class A and then the one from class B.)
In order to have XEH behave more consistent with the object-oriented way of thinking, the ab_myinit definition in class B will override (replace) the one made in class A. Should the addon author want both of them to be executed for class B, he or she should name the second one something different from the one present in A.
New in 3.03: Extended_FiredBIS_Eventhandlers and support for addons that do not support XEH¶As of 3.03, a mechanism was added that allows non-XEH Compatible classes to work with eXtended EventHandlers regardless.
There are two limitations;
- It stops working if some script executes removeAllEventHandlers _unit;
- It only works if
- a) At least one XEH compatible class is available in the mission
- or b) If the SLX_XEH_Logic module has been placed in the mission
Also, due to the new Fired Eventhandler parameters introduced in ArmA 2 patch 1.08, and OA patch 1.55, a new Fired Eventhandler XEH class was added.
Named: Extended_FiredBIS_Eventhandlers.
The fired Eventhandlers in this class are 100% native and equal to that of the official FiredEventhandler (in config, or by script command; addEventhandler).
The difference is:
Extended_Fired_Eventhandlers has: [unit, weapon, muzzle, mode, ammo, projectile, magazine]
Extended_FiredBIS_Eventhandlers has: [unit, weapon, muzzle, mode, ammo, magazine, projectile]
The addition of FiredBIS is required to keep XEH Fired eventhandler (backward)compatibility in tact;
XEH used _this select 5 as projectile entry since ArmA 1.
New in 3.05: excluding a class from XEH¶
If you don't want a specific unit or vehicle to be part of the extended event handler system, add a property named
SLX_XEH_DISABLE to the vehicle class like this:
class CfgVehicles { class ABC_MyVehicle { SLX_XEH_DISABLE = 1; // Disable XEH for this vehicle ... ... ... }; };
New in 3.06: disabling XEH's debug message logging¶
Normally, when a mission starts, XEH will print debug log messages to the .RPT file. You can disable this by creating a new addon with the following config:
class CfgPatches { class Disable_XEH_Logging { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; };
Load that addon along with XEH and the debug log messages will disappear.
New in 3.10: configuring function caching and re-compilation¶
One can enable or disable the XEH function caching either globally in the addon's config or on a per-mission basis using global variables:
class CfgSettings { class CBA { caching = 1; // 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled (enabled is the default) }; };
Using global variables:
CBA_RECOMPILE: if defined, all caching is disabled
CBA_FUNC_RECOMPILE: if defined, functions caching is disabled.
CBA_COMPILE_RECOMPILE: If defined, compile preProcess caching is disabled.
SLX_XEH_RECOMPILE: If defined, XEH caching is disabled.
// description.ext // Disable XEH caching class Extended_PreInit_EventHandler { Disable_XEH_cache = "SLX_XEH_RECOMPILE=false"; };

Fixed: PostInit didn't initialize when player is not a man, but animal. (#19667)
3.06 (Dec 20, 2010)
Added: A mechanism for disabling XEH's debug message logging: If a
CfgPatches class with the name "
Disable_XEH_Logging" exists,
XEH_DisableLogging is set to true and logging stops. (#15637)
Changed: CBA LoadingScreen Disabled. New solution for credits soon.
Changed: Improved XEH SupportMonitor implementation; speeds up script processing at initialization.
Changed: Improved XEH InitOthers for all non man-based objects.
Changed: Improved XEH PostInit/SupportMonitor initialization by detecting null-objects and aborting processing on them.
Fixed: Event handler excludes bleed through to other classes.
Fixed: Possible loop on non XEH supported units.
Fixed: Eventhandler duplication on respawn of non-XEH compatible unit.
Fixed: Unneeded SupportMonitor check on crew units.
SLX_XEH_DISABLED wasn't respected by SupportMonitor.
3.05 (Nov 26, 2010)
Added: Support for excluding class from XEH via a
SLX_XEH_DISABLED property set for that class.
Fixed: XEH Exclude classes were not reset each iteration, making exclude settings active for all classes following a class with exclude settings, and effectively therefore missing certain eventhandlers.
Fixed: XEH didn't exclude server/client eventhandlers if exclusion was specified. It only excluded the normal eventhandlers.
3.04 (Nov 23, 2010)
Added: RPT Warning when XEH is initializing late, probably indicating there are no XEH-compatible units in the mission at start. Remedy; place SLX_XEH_Logic module.
Changed: Do not add empty code strings, and warn if in debug mode.
Changed: Respawn handlers.
Changed: No loading screen for main menu intro.
Fixed: XEH's broken on AAV and AH6X_EP1. (#15143)
Fixed: JIP players were considered respawning and therefore didn't have the correct EH initializations. (#15328)
3.03 (Nov 09, 2010)
Added: Support for the new BIS Fired Eventhandler parameters, which can be accessed
from the new Extended_FiredBIS_Eventhandlers class.
Fixed: OnRespawn handling.
3.02 (Jul 23, 2010)
Fixed: High command missions would give the player control over all groups
in the mission instead of just his assigned HC hiearchy.
Fixed: event handler definitions now behave in an OO way in that you can
override a specific handler from a (CfgVehicle wise) "parent" class.
(Eg if CfgVehicles/B is a child of CfgVehicles/A and there exists XEH handlers
for both A and B with the same name (code string entry or class entry
name) the one in B will override (replace) the one in A. (#12108)
3.01 (Jul 07, 2010)
Fixed: the old "game crashes when resuming a saved game" issue with class Static
that was fixed way back in v1.7 had reappeared.
3.00 (Jul 05, 2010)
New: Extended Eventhandlers is now compatible with, and targeted for
a merged A2+Arrowhead installation, aka a "Combined Operations" installation.
Compatibility with pure Arrowhead installations is achieved with the
extra "CBA_OA" bridge addons.
2.07 (Jul 05, 2010)
Last (barring any issues) ArmA II-only release of XEH (for CBA 0.4.2)
Fixed: XEH now lists a minimal set of addons it requires, instead of what was
probably a close to maximal set of dependencies.
2.06 (Mar 09, 2010)
Changed: pre-init handlers are now called in a more controlled fashion.
Fixed: The BIS flag pole inits were inherited causing redundant setFlagTexture calls.
Fixed: several small fix and tweaks.
2.05 (Jan 22, 2010)
Fixed: XEH init event handlers would run twice on respawn on dedicated 1.05 servers (#7432)
Fixed: XEH init EH's set to run on respawn will now work on unnamed, playable units. (#8080)
2.04 (Nov 10, 2009)
Added: per-mission and per-campaign extended event handlers can be added
through the (mission or campaign) 'description.ext' file. (#2915)
2.03 (Aug 07, 2009)
Fixed: Steam ArmA2: Addon 'Extended_EventHandlers' requires addon 'CA_Editor'. (#2987)
Fixed: XEH disables pop-up targets. (#2935)
Fixed: XEH init event handlers are re-run after respawn by default. (#3396)
Added: The respawn monitor is able to make use of the
playableUnits command to track all playable units, not just the player. (#2647)
2.02 (Jul 13, 2009)
Added: support for AnimStateChanged event handlers. (#2808)
2.01 (Jul 08, 2009)
Fixed: performance drop issue. (#2663)
Fixed: keep the stock BIS event handlers for the A10, Su34, camp fires,
burning barrels, cruise missile, flag poles, popup targets,
certain buildings, graves. (#2674)
Fixed: restore the default EH:s for Team Razor units. (#2665)
2.00 (Jun 25, 2009)
New: XEH ported to ArmA II with the help of Sickboy.
Added: support for the new "firedNear" event
serverInit and
clientInit can be used along with
or instead of the normal
init snippet to limit initialisation
to certain types of machines.
1.93 (Feb 16, 2009)
Fixed: empty vehicles created after the mission started did not get their
InitPost handlers called.
1.92 (Feb 09, 2009)
Changed: Some optimizations made (eg use pre-compiled XEH init functions).
1.91 (Dec 20, 2008) (Unofficial, for use with the ACE mod)
Added: New "post-init" feature that can be used to have a script run once
at the end of mission initialisation, after all init EH:s and mission
init lines have executed, but before the mission's init.{sqs,sqf}
is processed.
Added: There's also a per-unit, "InitPost" XEH framework which lets you run
scripts at the end of mission init. Unlike the PostInit event handlers
described above, these snippets run once for every unit in the mission.
(The name of this framework may change in the future to avoid confusion
with "PostInit")
1.9 (Sep 21, 2008)
Fixed: before, vehicle crews would not have their XEH init EH:s run until just
after the mission started. Now they are run before mission start.
Added: A stringtable with the version of XEH in STR_SLX_XEH_VERSION and
STR_SLX_XEH2_VERSION for use with the "localize" command.
Added: a way to have run-once, "pre-init" code run using the new
Extended_PreInit_EventHandlers class.
1.8 (Sep 7, 2008)
Fixed: game logics inside vehicles would cause a performance drop due to a
infinite recursion in the code that handles initialisation of
vehicle crews. Thanks to UNN for the bug report!
Added: you can make XEH init event handlers execute when players respawn by
using an inner XEH class and the "onRespawn" boolean property.
1.7 (Mar 16, 2008)
Fixed: Removed XEH from class Static, which stops ArmA from crashing to desktop
when resuming saved games.
1.6 (Mar 15, 2008)
Fixed: The "exclude" property will apply to the specified class(es) and all
subclasses thereof.
1.5 (Mar 15, 2008)
Added: Composite ("inner") XEH classes can have an extra property, "exclude"
which is either a string or an array of strings with the class name(s)
of vehicles that should not get a particular XEH event handler.
1.4 (Mar 15, 2008)
Added: "Static" class vehicles can now have XEH event handlers.
Added: A respawn monitor that restores non-init XEH event handlers after
the player respawns. Many thanks to Sickboy, LoyalGuard, ViperMaul for
the initial research and suggestions!
1.3 (Feb 9, 2008)
Added: The ability to use "nested" XEH classes with a "scope" feature
to limit certain event handlers to objects of specific classes.
1.2 (Jan 29, 2008)
Fixed: SightAdjustment_AutoInit.
Fixed: Extended Dammaged EventHandler.
1.1 (Jan 26, 2008)
Fixed: XEH can now handle extended event handlers that are missing a trailing
Fixed: the example addons now require the Extended_Eventhandlers addon instead
of the two older ones. Also, the debug sideChats are now guaranteed to
be seen when previewing a mission with the example addons loaded.
Fixed: XEH init EH:s are now actually being called on units inside vehicles.
1.0 Initial Release (Dec 31, 2007)
Combined Extended Init, Fired, and Other event handlers. Thanks to Killswitch
for combining them and adding the other extended event handlers!
Added signature and bikey.
Init EH Change log:¶

POTTSVILLE (AP) — Investigators in eastern Pennsylvania say a house fire that claimed the lives of six members of a family on Mother's Day was accidental.
Chief Todd March of the Pottsville fire department told The (Pottsville) Republican-Herald that the May 12 fire began in a kitchen on the second floor of the Pottsville home and spread up the stairs to the third floor, where all six victims were found.
Killed were Eric Brown, 31; his sister-in-law, Kristina Thomas, 26; and Brown's children: Elijah Brown, 2; Emily Brown, 3; Jeremiah Brown, 7; and Joy Brown, 8.
Dr. David Moylan, the Schuylkill County coroner, said all six victims died of carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation.
The blaze appeared to have started on the kitchen floor, March said, and there was no problem with the wood stove or chimney that would have caused the fire.
Officials said the home didn't have working smoke detectors at the time of the fire.

This year, I resolved to try to get to grips with my TBR (To Be Read) collection. My Librarything (LT) Profile currently has it tagged at 2229 which is just over half of my entire collection, but I know there are a lot more that haven't been entered yet.
The new fun LT stats put my entire library if stacked on top of each other at just short of 400 feet – that's between Big Ben and The Great Pyramid in height, and if laid end to end, they would stretch nearly 0.04% of the distance to the moon.
But the key statistic which is the most meaningful, is the number of Ikea Billy bookcases you'd need to house your collection … I assume this means the standard 80cm width version with 6 shelves, single stacked. I need 26.22 for the books LT knows about.
I have the equivalent of 10 of these dotted around the house, four of which are double stacked, so that makes about 14 – so I'm 12 short. This means a lot of piles of books everywhere, and a TBR that stopped being a pile years ago, and is now more of a mountain range.
I joined in the TBR dare for three months from January to the end of March. That was all well and good, reading just books that entered the house before Jan 1st, but due to life intruding, I've not got through so many books this year. Previously, I've read two or three books a week, totalling around 110 per year. So far this year I've only read 32, and since the end of the TBR dare, I've been rather distracted by shiny new books mostly (and understandably!).
The upshot of this is, that despite loving having a personal library to pick from, I'm never going to get through all these books. If I were able to keep up my 100+ reading rate, that's over 22 years worth of books to read, without being added to.
I hope you don't mind this rambling introspective post, but I thought that putting down some of the cold facts might help bring the enormity of my TBR list home to me.
As I sort through piles, I do sift out some unread books to go to the charity shop, or be sold, but I also put plenty back for further consideration. I keep far less books once read these days which is also a good thing, but it's the TBR list that worries.
So – I've come up with an idea for which I need your help.
Periodically, I'm going to list some books out of my TBR list, and ask you to vote to keep or cull. Any receiving no votes will go without further ado. Then I'll keep the top three or so, and try to lose the remaining books. So watch out for another post containing my first TBR poll soon …
Any other ideas about managing TBR lists would, of course, as always be very helpful. Thank you!

Philippine church takes lead on Francis' environmental encyclical
Eco Catholic: One of the nations most vulnerable to climate change has become one of the first to mobilize in response to Laudato Si'.
Eco Catholic: One of the nations most vulnerable to climate change has become one of the first to mobilize in response to Laudato Si'.
The head of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines said it was up to President Benigno Aquino III to decide whether he should resign, "after prayerful discernment."
Aquino was facing a growing cry for his resignation, with a few individual bishops joining the call, a week-and-a-half after 44 police troops were killed in one of the bloodiest encounters with Muslim rebels in recent history.
A former president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines joined 27 other people in filing a complaint Monday at the House of Representatives seeking President Benigno Aquino III's impeachment over a funds disbursement program that the Supreme Court has ruled as unconstitutional.
Cardinal Luis Tagle of Manila in recent public addresses grabbed the opportunity to challenge Catholic laity to do more to transform Philippines society.
For Philippines Cardinal Luis Tagle, the Synod of Bishops on the family is a "hopeful" sign that the church is willing to listen to the difficulties families experience.
The Philippine Supreme Court ruled a reproductive health law constitutional Tuesday and declared it effective immediately.
But in rendering the decision, the court also struck down some provisions of "The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012," leading an official of the bishops' conference to call it a "partial victory."
An emotional Cardinal Luis Tagle welcomed Catholic leaders reviewing typhoon recovery efforts, saying that rebuilding communities can show the world a church united.

Artist Simulates Russian Space Flight
Artist Bradley Pitts uses his training as both an artist and an MIT Aeronautics grad to create a mind-expanding visual installation.
Driven by the mysterious qualities of both space exploration and the cosmonaut culture of the former Soviet Union, artist Bradley Pitts traveled to both destinations to create a series of works; Bringing him from farthest reaches of human comprehension to the intimate art worlds of Brooklyn and Tribeca.
As part of his newest exhibition, Singular Oscillations, the MIT trained Pitts, whose specialties range from art to aerospace engineering, attempts to explore the relationship between art and function through scientifically minded inquiry. As part of the research stage of his project, Pitts was able to access a Russian parabolic-flight aircraft (the IL76-MDK) to structure an exploration into "empty space and the undocumentable nature of experience." Singular Oscillations is an attempt to recreate this experience within the accessible confines of a gallery space.
Despite the heady ideas behind Singular Oscillations, the star of the show is still clearly Pitts: To fully take advantage of the range of thoughts, emotions, and senses that come with space flight, the brave Pitts flew with his eyes closed, ears blocked, and naked.
For those more tentative about new travel experiences, you can now view Pitts' adventures through his new work, An Invitation for One to Experience the Variable-Gravity Space Contained Within the Russian Parabolic-Flight Aircraft, the Ilyushin 76-MDK. Also on display will be other works related to the artist's experience in variable-gravity. Presented as an unsigned Certificate of Ownership with the work's production date to be determined, An Invitation For One… challenges us to re-imagine the ways in which works of art are collected, swapping the standard practice of acquisition for a literal ticket to first hand experiences.
For all the science nerds out there: The main focus of the project, Singular Oscillations: Spirit Level, a sound sculpture, is designed and programmed as a functional replica of the Russian aircraft's variable-gravity spirit level. This work performs the gravitational trajectory of Pitts' flight as registered by the natural dynamics of the aircraft's engine noise.
Other works on view include Weightless Cross-Sections, a glass sculpture that references micro-gravity interiors on and off Earth, such as the International Space Station and the parabolic-flight aircraft from Russia, France, and the USA.
For its inaugural few days, the works were shown in tandem with performances by PSFK's own Aziz Ali. Uncollectable, an evening of performative sound works by +Aziz and Joshua Liebovitz, combined with Pitts' work to shine a light on the "elusive and the immeasurable in art and technology."
As an ongoing set of ideas and explorations by +Aziz, Uncollectable was conceptualized as an attempt to overcome the hegemonic gravity of corporate entertainment – creating subjective music experiences inspired by cultural trends beyond entertainment.
For those curious:
Bradley Pitts is also presenting a one-evening only open studio on June 27 from 5-8pm at the E-Waste Warehouse in Gowanus, Brooklyn, where he'll be in residence with French programmer Jonathan Tanant as they work on a multi-mode, variable-gravity, flight simulator of the IL76-MDK.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Posted by Robert
When my emotions ran high Mr. Kopper got me through some tough times with his calm demeanor and helped me to both understand the situation and prepare for the worst case scenario. Never felt over charged throughout the 5 years of legal hell. It was a case involving an abusive grandparent who's daughter died who was suing for extreme visitation rights to my children. Mr. Kopper helped me to keep the abusive grandparent away from my children and kept us out of court. His secretary Kristen is a gem who is extremely sensitive to a client's needs and was essential for the 5 star rating on "Kept me Informed".

Leopold and His Fiction w/The Docs & The Beans
Event Dates and Times
Grand Stafford Theater. 106 S Main St. Bryan, TX 77803
Tickets $12 at the door.
Naked, stripped down and aching with adrenaline is the rawness of Leopold and his Fiction. A revolving group of friends led by Detroit native Daniel James (lead vocal/guitar), their essential make up sprouted from collaborations made on the road in the whirlwind cycle of touring. From San Francisco to LA to Austin various musical adventures had come and gone, until James found a common vision in the musicians he'd met along the way. Their seminal force is the catalyst for soul-drenched, bare-bone rock 'n' roll that shakes with the power of '73-era Stooges while seducing with the rhythm and blues of Motown.
When the Docs are playing, the sheer energy coming from the stage will pull you in, and the aura they create in the room will keep you riveted. Pulling from a wide range of influences and diverse backgrounds, they evoke the full range of emotion in their audiences with a raw, passionate sound that fuses the soft, harmonious tones of traditional Southern music and the aggressive energy of progressive rock. This is a tight-but-loose four-piece band that stretches and pushes the boundaries of current rock and roll. But The Docs didn't start out as a high energy, in-your-face modern rock band. Each member brought his musical influences and professional background to the mix.
The members were all brought up in Houston, Texas where at various times in their lives they met and befriended Brendan. Nearing the end of his college coursework (in December 2010) Brendan called together his friends for an informal jam session with the hopes of masterminding a sophisticated & crude rock n' roll band. His plan worked. The Beans started writing songs and performing around the city in March 2011. By January of 2012 The Beans had finished recording a demo and built a devout fan-base largely due to the raw energy of their live shows. They are currently working on touring to promote their debut album.

Why do people live in Northwest Tucson?
Some of them say it's for the sights, like the Santa Catalina Mountains covered with snow beneath a rising full moon.
Others have much different reasons – safety, schools, proximity to the city of Tucson yet distance from it, weather, cleanliness.
As part of The Explorer's second "Best of the Northwest" poll – see pages 21-23 – the question of why people live in the Northwest was asked. Dozens, among the hundreds who participated in the poll, answered. Among their comments are:
"Best place in the world."
"Clean, good part of town, safe."
"Just liking to be on this side of town."
"Far enough away from the 'city' to be peaceful and safe for raising families, yet close enough to still do 'big city' things."
"Family and fitness oriented."
"Not as crowded."
"Less traffic."
"Weather, mountain views."
"Laidback, friendly feeling."
"Better lifestyle."
"Traffic, value, view, amenities."
"The beautiful landscape."
"Convenient to many services and shopping, but far enough away that they are not causing congestion and noise."
"New and growing."
"The amazing sunsets, better than anywhere in the U.S."
"Great place to raise a family."
"Quality of everything."
"Good neighbors, good schools, good communities, good roads, low crime, little traffic, good police protection; proximity to shopping, dining and recreation. Wouldn't live anywhere else!"
"Close to I-10."
"It's clean, fun, family friendly and fantastic."
"Small town atmosphere reminds me of the Midwest."
"Everything is here and the air is still fresh in the middle of the day in July."
"The mountain views are much better than the east side."
"Has everything you need with great outdoor living and playing."
"It's away from the city but a great community."
"Reasonable cost of living, easy access to nearby vacation spots."
"Best views of Mount Lemmon. I would not live anywhere else in Tucson."
"Gorgeous here, mountains, sunsets, desert life and it doesn't snow. Can't beat that."
"Love AZ, except the monsoon season."
The adoration is not unanimous, among the respondents.
"We moved from the Northwest," writes one.
"Not enough rec facilities / parks for kids," writes another. "Not kid-friendly enough."

The former Coventry boss has signed a one-year rolling contract with Northampton.
Boothroyd had been out of work since being sacked by Coventry in March.
Northampton chairman David Cardoza told the club's official website: "We are absolutely delighted to have Aidy on board, and that he has agreed to take up the challenge of moving this club forwards.
"We were fortunate to have interviewed a number of excellent candidates. We took on board lots of advice and plenty of opinions from people within the game and the message came back loud and clear that Aidy was the best candidate for the job.
"We were looking for a special type of manager who can succeed in two equally important tasks. We need someone who can work to steer us away from the position we find ourselves in in the short term, and someone who can take the club forward in the longer term.
"From our talks, it is clear that Aidy knows the problems we have been suffering and he has done his homework on us. He is a good age, he already has plenty of experience from managing in the Premier League and Football League.
"He knows the challenge ahead of him and he has the hunger and the desire to succeed and follow up the phenomenal success he has already had in his career as a manager."

Apatzingan, Mexico • Federal forces struggled to bring order to western Mexico Wednesday as vigilantes battled a vicious drug cartel that apparently tried to reassert its authority by burning a downtown pharmacy to enforce its orders that no businesses should open.
The fire attack came just two blocks from the Apatzingan city center where, the day before, dozens of federal police had paraded in an impressive display of force meant to re-impose order in a region where heavily armed vigilantes have taken up a freelance fight against the drug gang.
An employee of the pharmacy said two men pulled up with jerry cans of gasoline and began dousing the store and its merchandise. "They just told us to get out, because they were going to burn the place," she said.

Dillard's to Pay $2 Million for Demanding Health Details
Has your employer ever asked you exactly what's keeping you home sick? If so, it may be violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The EEOC announced on Dec. 18 that it has settled for $2 million a case against Dillard's Department Stores that was based on a companywide policy that for employees' absences to be excused, they had to disclose confidential health information – in violation of the ADA, according to the EEOC.
Expensive Outdated Policies
Dillard's fired Corina Scott, a former cosmetics counter employee at a store in El Centro, Calif., after she complained that she and other Dillard's employees were required – for the past 8 years – to disclose the exact nature of any medical condition they suffered in order to be approved for sick leave.
Additionally, said the EEOC, Dillard's illegally fired employees under its maximum-leave policy. It violated the ADA's accommodation requirement, as employees were limited in the amount of health-related leave they could take and the company didn't interact with them to find out if they needed more time.
Dillard's denies any wrongdoing in the settlement, and in a press release claims that it abandoned the excused absence program in 2007 and that neither of the two policies at issue are in effect any longer.
However, in the settlement, the company did agree to change its policies. It also agreed to hire an ADA expert and implement other extensive changes including training, record-keeping and compliance coaching, according to the settlement.
Dillard's: No Such Thing as "TMI"
The EEOC sued Dillard's in federal court in California, alleging that the company's "too much information" policy violated the ADA. An EEOC attorney told the Huffington Post that some employees revealed conditions including cancer or mental illness, as well as gynecological information in order to get an excused absence.
"While the class members had verifications from doctors to assure Dillard's that the absences were due to medical reasons, many did not feel comfortable disclosing the specifics of their conditions to the company," said the EEOC.
Scott, who was absent from work for only four days, and others "were fired in retaliation for their refusal to provide details of their medical conditions, despite the fact that many of their own doctors advised them not to disclose specific medical information in accordance with the law," explained the agency.
Those doctor's notes stating that leave was necessary "for medical reasons" should have been enough.
Employers Can Request Some Medical Info
"The EEOC argued that the policy was inconsistent with the requirement under the ADA that employers can only make inquiries into the disabilities of their employees when doing so is job-related and necessary for the conduct of business," notes Michael Wilhelm, an employment lawyer with Briggs and Morgan in Minneapolis, on the Minnesota Employer.com blog.
What is considered "job-related" can be a fuzzy, Wilhelm tells Lawyers.com. "State laws vary, but some federal laws give employers the right to request medical information from employees for certain purposes."
Under the ADA, explains Wilhelm, an employer can inquire into an employee's medical condition if:
- the employee requests an accommodation for a disability that is not readily apparent, and
- the medical inquiry is job-related and consistent with business necessity.
An employer can also "certify" an employee's need for leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act if it's for his or her own serious health condition, Wilhelm adds.

Article, 2009-2010 Season - Ohlone College Renegades Men's Basketball
Ohlone men clinch basketball title
By Gary van den Heuvel.
Wednesday, February 24, 2010—Reprinted from Tri-City Voice.
Ohlone College men's basketball finished the season very strong with wins over Las Positas and Chabot College, wrapping up the Coast Conference North title and heading into the playoffs as the number-one ranked team in the state.
The Renegades clinched the CCN with an 82-58 whipping of Las Positas on Wednesday, Feb. 17. Up by 10 at the half, Ohlone came roaring out of the gate in the second half, going on a 22-3 run which ended the suspense. Lavon Grey led Ohlone with 17 points. Ronnie Sawyer scored 16 and Maurice Briggs popped in 12.
Ohlone's win over Chabot on Friday, Feb. 19, was especially sweet, considering that the Gladiators were the only CCN team to beat the Renegades this season. Another explosive second half for Ohlone settled matters - they outscored the Gladiators 43-26 in the half - for a final of 73-48.
Reggie Jones led Ohlone with 22. Scott Clark (11 points), Demetris Love (10) and Sawyer (10) all scored in double digits. Mark Stevenson led Chabot with 11 points. Chabot ended the season with an 18-8 overall record, going 7-5 in the CCN.
As of press time, the brackets for the postseason have not yet been released, but coach John Peterson's Renegades will go in as a number one seed, finishing the regular season with a 22-4 record, 11-1 in the CCN.

Back to School Shopping in Full Swing
Back-to-school shopping is well underway, as New York City parents and children prepare for the start of school on Thursday.
Top ticket items this year include clothes, accessories, and electronics, according to an analysis by the National Retail Federation. The group said parents are likely to spend hundreds of dollars on each of those items.
And for many the season of back-to-school shopping has extended past the last weeks of summer to a project lasting several months, according to a recent article in the New York Times. The Times also featured a local store in Fresh Meadows that draws loyal customers for its annual school supplies sale.
For many spend-thrifty parents, back-to-school shopping is a balancing act between meeting the desires of their children and the constraints of their budget.
"The newest sneakers, those are kind of pricey," said Jewel Lukas, from Rosedale, Queens, during a visit to the Lake Success Shopping Center in New Hyde Park, Long Island.
"I might get them, like, one pair of what they really want, and then we have to, you know, get some lower priced ones to supplement that with," she said while on a shopping trip with her five-year-old daughter and her 16-year-old son.
She said her daughter's already more difficult to shop for.
"Even though she's only five, girls are definitely tougher," she said. "She's a diva, she likes accessories and shoes, you know, numerous pairs and this type to go with this outfit and all of that. Girl stuff."
Lukas said another added cost this year is the growing list of supplies parents are being asked to buy for the classroom.
"It's like shopping for home now, just doing it for the classroom," she said, adding that wipes and paper towels are on the list.
Sayra Vaughn of Cambria Heights, Queens, was also buying classroom supplies, in addition to school uniforms and clothing for her two sons. The younger one goes to PS/MS 147 in her neighborhood.
"They ask for towel, Kleenex, anti-bacterial," she said. "Some of the school supplies are really, the lists are getting bigger and bigger every year."
This issue was one SchoolBook covered extensively in the spring. With school budget cuts, rising expenses and grander ambitions for student activities have come higher costs for sending a child to a New York City public school. SchoolBook asked parents to tell us about their school-related spending. Journalists followed up on the hundreds of responses we received, resulting in a series of reports on SchoolBook, in The New York Times and on WNYC. You can find previous reports here.

First time buyer.
I have been looking at a P reg 2.0 CD turbo in my local garage primarily because it is an automatic and I drive automatics. It has 56K on the clock, FSH, asking £4.5K. However after researching the marque I have been put off by the tales of woe regarding SAAB auto boxes. Quasimotors scared me to death. I have always wanted a 9000, from their first appearance, having had a couple of 99's back in the distant past. What do I do? Do I go for it and fullfill a dream? Do I walk away and go for another marque? Do I buy it and regret it for evermore? Any advice welcome.
Bill's site http://www.saab9000.com offers lots of useful advice.
Welcome to SaabCentral, jockotaylor.
I believe a P-reg 2.0 turbo will be a light-pressure turbo. Last summer, I bought a '96 P-reg CSE 2.0LPT auto for my dad to potter about in. It had almost exactly 100K miles on the clock. By choice, I wouldn't have an auto myself, and this is the first auto I've ever bought, but my dad insisted on an auto.
Like you, I was worried about the auto transmission horror stories and asked lots of people for advice. The concensus, apart from those in the US, was that the much lower torque of the 2.0LPT engine should give the auto box a much better chance of survival. I looked at a couple and the one I bought shifted smoothly and drove nicely. The first thing I did was perform all the maintenance items whether they were due or not, since I'll only see the car a few times a year. This included a transmission fluid and filter change. Six months later, it is trouble-free. I must admit he doesn't rack up the mileage, though - services will be based on time rather than mileage in this case...
My advice is to look for all the trouble signs Quasi mentions on his excellent site, bearing in mind that a UK car will almost certainly have been dealer-serviced most of its life (US cars, it seems, almost never are), and will therefore be well-maintained and unlikely to be giving much trouble at such a low mileage. Don't worry if it's gone past the last service a bit just because the owner was planning on selling it. As long as the history is complete until then you can make sure it's serviced promptly.
The transmission fluid should have been replaced at the 54K mile service, as listed here, so it should be fairly fresh. Pull the dipstick, drip some fluid on your finger to test the colour (the dipstick often goes brown, making it difficult to tell the colour of the fluid) and check that there is still some pink colour. Some people say it must be pink with no brown colour, but the dealer will do a simple change which doesn't get all the old fluid out each time so some brown is expected. If it's dark brown or smells burnt, then there may be a problem.
By the time that car was built, the 9000 was a very mature design and most serious problems had been ironed out. I'd say check for obvious problems and if you don't find any, go for it. At 56K miles, it's not even run in
P.S. I notice you say it has a FSH. If this is a full Saab-dealer service history, then things are looking good.

My parents always drive autos and have now had I think four 9000 2.3 Turbos (all fully dealer serviced) some of which they have run up to reasonably high miles before changing (about 120K) and as far as I know they have never had auto box problems. They both cover reasonable mileages and both drive quite fast!
Of course, this doesn't guarantee that you won't have any trouble, but the 2.3's are more likely to eat auto boxes than a 2.0 LPT.
Also even if you do get any problems they probably would be at around 120K or more if you look after the car, at least according to the buyers' guide I had, and I think an auto box rebuild is about £1000, so even if you budget for one at about 120K I think the car sounds worth having if it's what you want.
As an aside, my parents' cars (about the same reg as yours) have Saab dealer approved warranties on them (it seems more like a new car warranty than a normal second-hand car sight unseen warranty). Perhaps you could investigate this if it helps your peace of mind?
I have a K reg 9000 2.3 CSE Auto on 135K and so far it has been fine as far as the autobox is concerned but then my car is not a turbo car. It's the best auto I've ever driven though - extremely smooth and progressive I reckon.
Thank you one and all. Now all I have to do is convince the better half and I'll have myself my dream car. Thank you again.

text: Can anybody help, i have a 2003 CR-V automatic, a couple of months ago the engine management light came on and when the fault code was read it came back as camshaft position sensor bank "A". I had the sensor changed at a garage i have used for years and trust. The car ran fine up until last week and the light has come back, when the fault code is read it comes back as the sensor again or a problem with the timing between the crankshaft sensor and the camshaft sensors. When the vehicle log is read the fault seems to be triggered when the car is first started and driven from cold. Any ideas would be welcomed, i do not want to keep changing sensors, or adjusting timing chains if it is not the reason for the fault. Thanks in advance John

Somehow, the sunlit world is grey
A small girl went to school today
So often in these few years
Of healing hurts and mending tears
Of picking playthings off the floor
Or running often to the door
To see if she was safe at play
The awfull fear that she might stray
On eager, fearless baby feet
Into the crowded city street.
One thought has been a placid pool.
She'll soon be old enough for school.
And she was old enough today
Yet all the sunlit world is grey
So soon my rooms grow orderly
With no small girl to bother me.
But quiet rooms are lonely things
When in their walls no small girl sings
A quiet yard's a lonely place
When it has known a small girl's face
Today she joined the world of women
She'll not be wholly mine again
Today she braved life's rise and fall
Dear Lord she seems so very small.
Somehow the sunlit world seems grey
My baby went to school today.

Patna, Feb. 9: The Mongoloid features of the women involved in the daring jewellery loot from a store in the capital yesterday have put police in a spot.
Their facial features have confused the men-in-uniform, who claimed their "best efforts" were not good enough to nab the gang.
Yesterday, five women, believed to be foreigners, cleaned out jewellery worth Rs 8 lakh from a Tanishq showroom on Frazer Road.
Deputy superintendent of police (DSP), law and order, Vivekananda told The Telegraph that there was a big chance that the group might have fled the state in a hired four-wheeler.
The officer said searches were on in the state capital and Bodhgaya. The Bodh Mahotsav at Bodhgaya, which concluded on Friday and drew tourists from abroad, has made their task more difficult.
"The cops have failed to trace them. At present, the cops would focus on Bodhgaya, where tourists, mostly from Southeast Asia, have come. There are two police teams, each comprising four cops, probing into the case are trying to track down the criminals. It is a difficult task to trace them owing to their Mongoloid looks. Even the closed-circuit television footage has got a clear image of only one among them. They appear to be Asian, but the cops cannot say for sure if they are foreigners. They can be from any of the northeastern states of the country as well," the officer told The Telegraph.
"The police have been making inquiries at railway stations as well as at Patna and Gaya airports. If they were foreigners, they would have had to inform the foreign section of the police for passport verification. The police are checking for the information in the capital as well as Gaya. The police suspect that these women hired a four-wheeler from Gaya and came down to Patna. After the loot, they used the vehicle to flee. The cops think they have left the state. However, coming all the way from Gaya to Patna and giving shape to such a daring theft is perplexing. They could have gone to any store in Gaya even," the officer added.
"The police are checking out big hotels in Patna, Gaya and Bodhgaya. The jewellery stores also need to be checked, as the women might try to sell off the booty at such stores," another officer said.

Gov. Jindal Scraps Tax Swap Plan
In his address to the Louisiana Legislative Session on Monday, La. Gov. Bobby Jindal has announced he is scrapping his tax reform plan.
In his address to the Louisiana Legislative Session on Monday, La. Gov. Bobby Jindal has announced he is scrapping his tax reform plan.
Sen. Cortez answers questions on Gov. Jindal's tax reform plan.
A day after a poll was released showing La. Gov. Bobby Jindal's popularity falling fast, with very low support for his tax reform plan, La. House Speaker Chuck Kleckley of Lake Charles says the bill will be set aside while they await internal analysis of the governor's proposal.
Don Briggs and Moon Griffon discussing Briggs' endorsement of Gov. Jindal's tax reform plan.
When La. Gov. Bobby Jindal's office first released their ideas for tax reform, officials said the state sales tax would increase from 4 percent to 5.88 percent as the state income tax would be eliminated. Now, make that 6.25 percent.
The conservative think tank has released a study endorsing La. Gov. Bobby Jindal's tax reform proposal.
Another government watchdog group has come out with their thoughts on Gov. Jindal's tax reform plan, questioning whether it should be fully implemented on January 1st, if passed by the Louisiana Legislature, and the effects if this plan is not revenue neutral like the Governor's office has proposed.
The Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana (PAR) and La. Department of Revenue Secretary Tim Barfield, La. Gov. Bobby Jindal's point man on his tax proposal, are at odds over whether the tax swap proposal is revenue neutral, as advertised.
As different areas of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's tax reform plan have come under question since it was released to lawmakers by the governor, Opelousas Senator Elbert Guillory (D) is calling attention to an area that hasn't gotten much attention yet - the film industry in Louisiana.
Political analyst John Maginnis, publisher at Lapolitics.com, says La. Governor Bobby Jindal's proposal to eliminate income taxes faces an uphill battle in the La. Legislature.
As La. Republicans and Democrats continue to discuss whether to get rid of the state income tax, just how much would it cost to make that happen, if it were phased-out over a ten-year period, like La. Gov. Bobby Jindal wants?
On this edition of "Wingin' It Wednesday" panelist Carol Ross, Mike Stagg, and Warren Caudle joined "Mornings with Ken and Bernie" to discuss Bobby Jindal's recent decision to abandon his tax swap plan, as well as the economic impact of the late Margaret Thatcher.
