I've updated five stages again. These are:
I'm in the process of moving over the data of RPG Maker VX Ace to the new site system. It will probably take some time before I have everything set up, in the mean time the old link is redirected to the old site.
So, after some years, I decided to revamp Area91, mainly because the old site was dated, partially because I had to get rid of Drupal because of MySQL injections.
It's my own system, so there might be a few bugs, and not everything is ported over, so for now, you can find everything at http://area91old.multiverseworks.com/.
I also took the time to revamp some of my stages, so, please be patient while I revamp the rest for MUGEN 1.0.
I'm also going to take the time to learn some other game engines, both open as well a close sourced engines. I'm already planning on looking into Adventure Game Studio, since I one day want to make an adventure game myself. Also, I want to take some time looking into PainTown, an engine which implements elements from MUGEN.
Finally, this will be one of the places I'll be hosting my pixel art.

Alana Thompson
Alana Thompson is the star of TLC's reality show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." Thompson first got her start as a breakout star on TLC's "Toddlers and Tiaras."
Adding to her already long list of troubles, Mama June Shannon contracted pneumonia and was rushed to a Georgia hospital on Friday (March 6).
The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" reality star had a temperature of 103 degrees and doctors were concerned with her level of dehydration when she was treated and released with orders to stay on bed rest.
She can't seem to catch a break these days, as Mama June Shannon was driving her SUV on Monday (February 16) when another car slammed into her and drove off immediately.
Per an Us Weekly report, the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star was getting ready to pull out of a gas station when a minivan rear-ended her and sped away.
Taking yet another tragic turn, the saga of Mama June's involvement with ex-boyfriend Mark McDaniel just unearthed more depressing details.
As previously reported, the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" matriarch has reunited with her former flame despite the fact that he's a convicted sex offender who did jail time for molesting kids.
Her whole world has been turned upside down this week as the TLC Network has cancelled her reality show, and Mama June wants everyone to know that her family is fine.
Amidst rumors that June has been dating her child molester ex-boyfriend, the cable channel pulled the plug, and there's also been talk of child protective services intervening.
Things aren't looking too peachy for Mama June as of late, as her decision to reunite with ex-boyfriend/convicted child molester Mark McDaniel may cost her everything.
Last week, the TLC Network decided to cancel "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," effectively cutting off June's paycheck, and on Friday (October 24) her eldest daughter confirmed that she was molested by McDaniel when she was eight years old.
In our world of relativistic moralism, there are still a few sacred cows, and "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star Mama June just found out that the public will not tolerate even a whiff of child molesters.
As previously reported by the GossipCenter, June Shannon is suspected to be dating an ex-boyfriend who was convicted of sexually abusing children back in 2004 and the TLC Network just announced the show is cancelled.
It's never easy to move on from a devastating heartbreak and when Mama June split up with Sugar Bear in September, she didn't know if she'd ever love again.
Thankfully, the "Honey Boo Boo" matriarch has already found a new man, however he's not exactly an exemplary mate.
TLC's beloved reality family was reportedly injured in a car accident on Monday (January 6).
According to TMZ, the patriarch Sugar Bear was behind the wheel when he crashed the car carrying the little pageant queen, her mother Mama June, along with siblings Pumpkin and Jessica.
Sharing the holiday spirit with their friends and loved ones, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson and her family have unveiled their Christmas card photo.
In the pic, the 7-year-old pageant princess posed with her parents, June and Sugar Bear, along with her sisters Lauryn, Anna, Jessica, and newest family addition, baby Kaitlyn, against a wintery backdrop.
Every year they compile the most popular internet searches, and this year Google has named Honey Boo Boo as the queen of the Reality TV Stars and TV Shows categories.
Additionally, Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" was the highest-searched song, and his breakup with Selena Gomez was the most-read-about Celebrity Breakup.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TaS, Jan 6, 2009.
The methodology is flawed, but I like the outcome, so I'll just accept it without question.
I'm really amazed at the advances made by the NBA.com stat tracking. It's getting so that almost everything that you'd want can be found there. Some interesting pulls: - Golden State has the best defensive rating per possession in the NBA and the biggest differential between O and D. Klay Thompson, Curry, Bogut, and Livingston appear to be the heart of their defense as they all defend their positions well. Steph Curry takes nearly the most pull-up 3-pointers per game in the league (over 4 per game) and he is knocking them down at a 44% rate. MVP this year maybe? - On the Pistons, there is only 1 player that has an off court positive plus/minus rating... Josh Smith. We've outscored our opponents by about 40 points this season with him on the bench. When he's on the court, we get slaughtered. I think that it is more than the coach finding a better way to utilize him at this point. On court: team has a 94.8 ORAT and a 106.2 DRAT. Off court: team has a 102.9 ORAT and a 100.8 DRAT. There is the starter vs bench issue, but very puzzling that our defense gets so much better without him there... since he's one of our better defensive players both statistically and by reputation. - Speed- distance traveled: Brandon Knight is #3 in the NBA in terms of distance traveled per 48 and average speed Singler leads the Pistons with 3.6 miles per 48 min (followed by Jennings, Jerebko, KCP, DJA in that order). Josh Smith is 6th to last in the entire NBA at 2.9 miles per 48. He is getting virtually no fast break points as well. Which leads me to the question- is he loafing? - Touches: Somehow Josh Smith leads the Pistons in total touches with 1,042 compared to only 981 for Jennings. I couldn't find another case where a non point guard leads their team in touches (but I forgot to look at the Lakers, which is a candidate with Kobe ball hogging). This is a major problem that we are giving the ball to Smith so often. Of course he's going to shoot. - Rebounding Andre Drummond is 4th in the NBA in terms of hauling in contested rebounds per game. He's also 4th in uncontested rebounds. He's 2nd in total rebound opportunities. I guess that is what happens when you live in the paint.
My project for the night was to turn the NBA.com defense stats from gross FG% into eFG% for each player on the team. Secondarily, I adjusted for minutes to see which players on the Pistons get attacked most often. eFG% against rankings: 1) KS: .438 2) JS: .456 3) GM: .461 4) JJ: .471 5) KCP: .514 6) DJA: .518 7) AD: .521 8) CB: .544 9) BJ: .557 FG attempts against rankings (from most attempts/48 to least): 1) GM: 17.21 2) JS: 16.52 3) JJ: 16.43 4) AD: 16.26 5) KS: 13.28 6) DJA: 11.77 7) CB: 9.15 8) BJ: 9.15 9) KCP: 8.71 This is pretty much what I would have expected in terms of shot attempt frequency (lots of action in the paint due to help defense). KCP to me is the big outlier though. BJ makes sense because other team's PGs do a lot of distributing, but KCP's man is in the game to score. It's the Kobe's of the league that he's matched up against. The fact that the fewest attempts per minute are against him seems to evidence of his ball denial ability and his ability to stay in his opponent's personal space.
Interesting stuff, TaS. The FG attempts against has our biggest 4 guys at the top. I wonder if that is common against all teams or is Detroit unique in this sense?
I'd have to check another team or two, and it's a bit of a pain to normalize for minutes, but my guess is that it's the natural state of things. Bigs just are in a position to play a lot of help defense. I was curious to see how often our bigs got stretched by 3-point attempts and it was about what I would have guessed: % of shot attempts taken against each player from 3-point range: 1) CB: 37.0% 2) KCP: 36.0% 3) DJA: 35.4% 4) KS: 35.1% 5) BJ: 34.2% 6) JS: 24.1% 7) JJ: 18.0% 8) AD: 12.0% 9) GM: 11.1% The only real outlier here is that Josh Smith has to defend a 3-pointer on almost 1 in 4 attempts from his man. However, my guess is that we are just using him to guard PFs with range and larger SFs while we are using Monroe to guard centers and PFs who aren't a threat from deep. Against Caron though, teams are shooting a lot of 3s against him and hitting at 42.2%. Either small sample, or he's leaving them wide open.
I have created a stupid simple way of ranking the Pistons remaining strength of schedule using winning percentage as the main variable, home or away as the first tie-breaker, and days of rest as the second tie-breaker. As we progress through the season, we can see how important each respective game is to the Pistons chance of making the playoffs. From another perspective, it's not that we have to beat the teams that are all vying for the eighth seed. We have to beat the teams that most teams are beating. Sure, we may lose a couple of games to mediocre teams and we may win a couple of games against great teams. Upsets happen. But, looking forward if we lose to the Golden State Warriors away after 0 days of rest, we shouldn't be too worried. If we lose to the Knicks after two days of rest at home, we should be concerned. The two columns I created rank the difficulty of each game 1 being the most difficult and need to win, as if the Pistons win 29 more games, they will finish 41-41 and at 0.500 that should be good enough to get into the playoffs in the East. 1 being the game we most need to win and 29 being the last game we would need to win. System has a level of variability that I have not accounted for the changing records of other teams as the season goes on. However, I can post an updated list after every five to ten games or so, and we can see how we're doing.
Here's the rankings seen from most to least difficult for each game:
My interpretation of these descriptive statistics is:Pick up the easy wins against the Knicks, T-Wolves, 76ers, Lakers, Magic, Jazz, and CelticsDon't worry so much about losses to top caliber teams like Warriors, Blazers, Hawks, Wizards, Rockets, Raptors, Bulls, SpursCrucial wins will come against teams like: Bucks, Cavs, Pelicans, Nets, Nuggets, Heat, Pacers, HornetsNo coincidence that most of the crucial wins need to come against the teams that are currently ranked Bucks (5th), Cavs (6th), Nets (7th), Heat (8th), Pacers (9th), and Hornets (10th) in the East.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this one. I looked at the stats for ball handlers in pick and roll situations, then sorted by frequency (of engaging in a PnR). NBA.com/Stats Out of all players who met the qualifying criteria, the top 4 players were Pistons: #1: Reggie Jackson- 60% #2: Spencer Dinwiddie- 54.3% #3: John Lucas III- 53.8% #4: DJ Augustine- 53.7% This is, of course, can't be a coincidence. It's either Van Gundy's system or it's the big men. Monroe and Drummond each have about the same number of points as the roll man this year. Also notice that of these guys, Reggie is the most successful and Spencer is clearly the least (PPP, FG%, scoring frequency, etc).
Very interesting TaS, thanks for sharing. This sort of statistical data is a clear indication that the coach has a plan. It is also good that we are emphasizing PnR play because we lack superstar talent that can thrive with isolation plays and we must play team ball. And we have two good bigs. This is just proof that SVG is playing to his strengths. It is also interesting that all 4 PGs are very different players (budding hot shot, wide-eyed rookie, undrafted guy working his butt off to make it, and NBA journeyman), but the results are similar. It's interesting to see Jennings rank #15, who I think is not that good with PnR. That Chris Paul dude looks like a good player.
Everyone's FG% is less than 40%. My interpretation is that we run a lot of pick and rolls, but the ball handlers don't score that well off of this type of play? How do we know if the rollers do well?
Ideally, the pg has to also punish the D by shooting when his man goes under. With dre and RG, all shot options are weak. So, while they are hard to stop, they aren't as hard to stop as other combos.
NBA.com/Stats Andre Drummond leads the league in offensive rebound outbacks, and to say that it's not even close is a gross understatement. He currently has 359, which is 144 more than second place (Deandre Jordan). The difference between Drummond and 2nd is the same as the difference between 2nd and 49th place, and about 1.3 more points per game than Jordan.
NBA.com/Stats Ha. Detroit has both the most efficient (Butler, 77.8% efg) and least efficient (Prince, 10% efg) post up players in the league.
Charlie V in the top 10.
Just saw this stat tweeted by J.A. Adande. Wow.
Chicago, LA, san antonio, boston, and detroit hogged most of the wins. I guess it's a game of dynasties.
In fairness, those two states have seven of the teams and all of the largest markets.

Mods on S2k(from what he told me):
Catback Exhaust
Titanium Rods and Valves
Rebuilt and "Graphed??" engine
CF hood
100 Shot of NOS... but didnt use it.
I entered the freeway, i see a yellow S2K pull up fast behind me, i gassed it and he followed. So i knew it was on.
The traffic was Medium but we went at it... the S2k held its own for the first few times.
When we exited to turn back around on the freeway, he yelled at the stoplight, "wait up, im gonna hook up my NOS" i laughed and said, "man this is stock."
He ended up not hooking up his NOS, but we went at it again.
We hit it, but i slowed down first so that we can be level, but he went on ending up hitting 154mph. I flashed my high beams so he slowed down and we got leveled.
3 BEEPS, im in fifth about 80-85mph, i step on it, and about 130mph, im a good 4+ cars on him.
We exited and talked and thats when he told me his mods. He was like "Man these babies are sick. Turbocharged 4cylinder... You whopped my ass, buy she (referring to his car) held its own."
It was a really good race.
What should my first mod be... hmmmmmmm.........

I love Coconut Grove and always wanted to have a property in the area. I hope who ever comes will enjoy the surrounding as much as I do.
Bea purchased this apartment in 2013
The location, all wood furniture, environmental friendly, great quality bed and sofa bed. Almost all the appliances are new. All cotton linens, washer and dryer. Black-outs in bedroom and living room. Allergen free.
Bedroom and Living room with their own TV. Fully equipped kitchen with new appliances and washer and dryer. large closer space, free parking, free high speed internet
A clean and well equipped apartment in the certre of Coconut Grove. North facing, it is rather dark .
The hotel facilities are available but are limited, but the area is great for a stay.
My husband and I recently stayed in Bea's condo. The location is within walking distance of lots of great shops and restaurants. We were attending an event on Key Biscayne and the condo was located within easy access to that area too. The condo had everything we could need or want and booking with Bea is a real pleasure. We Highly recommend this condo.
We waited too long to secure a place to spend time in Fla and so by the time we decided to go only two places were left in our price range. When we began we had enough money for three weeks but in the end could only afford two weeks because we waited to long to get a place to stay. This Apt was in a hotel. So we had helpful staff at our disposal. The apt was small but had great appliances. It was in walking distance to much of Coconut Grove. On the negative side the apartment overlooked a parking lot and the staff blew leaves every morning at 7 am. Thete was only one couch to sit on no chairs (there were two high bar stools).. Wifi was ok. Not always easy to reach the owner, quite an expensive area to eat out, shop, or go to the movies. Convenient to Miami . Unit was dark and lack of screens did not allow for opening the windows . Pool was lively. Thai resturant on premisis was ocassionally good when owner was cooking.
Perfect condo rental for a long weekend visit to the area for my husband and I. The owner, Bea, thought of everything a guest could need! Very pretty nicely updated condo unit in a fantastic location to restaurants, shops and parks and more in Coconut Grove. We would definitely try to rent this condo again through Bea and really enjoyed our stay in the area.
This was our 2nd time renting this property from Bea and we enjoy the property. The location is great just a around the corner from Coco Walk in Coconut Grove and very easy to get to both coral Gables and Downtown Miami. We had an initial problem with the lock on the door as the battery used to unlock the door had lost power but Bea had Security staff and Hotel staff there to get things looked after immediately with no issues. This is also while Bea was away on vacation herself so really appreciate her efforts to rectify this annoying minor issue.
Will stay again in the future if she will have us.
This is an excellent place to stay. We stayed for one week. I grew up in Miami and left years ago, but I had very fond memories of Coconut Grove. I was right on the money selecting this place as my vacation destination. Bea is very responsive to any needs you might have. The condo is perfectly located so you can walk to the plethora of great Coconut Grove restaurants. Do not miss going to Harry's Pizzeria. There is a movie theater in Coco Walk and Fresh Market is a couple of blocks away. The condo is beautifully appointed with very nice touches (make up mirror in the bathroom). The king size bed is incredibly comfortable. The kitchen has amazing appliances. There is also a great washer and dryer in the apartment, which meant I did not have to do any washing when I got home.There is a great work out room, and there are towels provided at the work out room and the pool. I can't stress what a great central location Coconut Grove is if you are visiting Miami. You are in the center of everything. From here you can easily drive to Coral Gables, Key Biscayne, Kendall, Downtown and Miami Beach. I find the beaches (Bill Baggs State Park) in Key Biscayne to be much more peaceful than Miami Beach. South Beach is complete chaos.
Coconut Grove is filled with sidewalk cafes, galleries, movies and boutiques. The small bohemian village feel is countered by recognizable chain restaurants, but small local cafes, college bars and independent boutiques still line the streets.
Coconut Grove's relaxed atmosphere extends into the many open-air bay front parks in the area, including Peacock Park, Kennedy Park, The Barnacle Historic State Park and more. Coconut Grove is also home to many popular annual events.

Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner
Robert Duvall
Annette Bening
Printer-Friendly version
Love him or hate him, Costner's had to put up with a lot of unfair criticism for the past decade or so. His box office numbers have plummeted and his movies have been panned, sometimes before having even been seen. Nevertheless, he deserves credit for having stayed his own course and made some great films that many have denied themselves the pleasure of seeing, simply for the nasty thrill of taking a potshot at the man. There's no other sensible explanation for this film's mediocre reign in theatres. Well received by critics, it perhaps shows how the values portrayed in the western genre have become unfamiliar with the values of today's world. This film is in the mold of what life must have been back then: nothing is hurried, things take their time to progress and ideals such as duty and honor prevailed. Contrasting that with today's microwaving, cell-phone toting, on-the-run life is hard and may be why people complain about them moving too slowly. Maybe it is more of a fast-paced experience to see the twelfth sequel of a movie featuring some teenagers being chased by a monster, but it sure as hell will never compensate for a film that makes you squint as if you were staring at the sun yourself or long for simpler days that we've never been fortunate enough to know and that are slipping further and further away from us every day.
Overall, this film conveys the true beauty of the open range and makes it the backdrop of a tense and violent story which is played to perfection by all involved. The pace is what you would expect from such a movie, which is to say that it moves at the speed of a horse-drawn wagon: slow, steady and reliable. That pace hinders it in absolutely no way and instead makes you appreciate the scenery and the quicker sequences that much more. You also get some great music by Michael Kamen and some beautiful photography to boot. Great movie!
Beyond Open Range (1 hr.): Easily one of the most complete 'making of' documentaries I've seen of late. It opens with Costner lambasting a potential financier who's on the verge of bailing and proceeds to accompany the director through the earliest stages of the film through to its wrap. Costner and the producers put up more than half of the film's $26M budget out of their own pockets and you can tag along and hear out his thoughts on the entire thing as it happens. The entire feature is narrated by Costner and features all the cast members and many crew members hard at work. It's by no means a studio feature, but a true documentary.
American Open Range (13 mins.): Narrated by Costner as well, this interesting historical explanation of life on the uncharted territories was like during the 19th century: hard, exhausting and often times, very short. If you've ever had an interest in the old west, this is a nice complement to things you may have already known or it may offer up some things you'll be glad to know but didn't.
Deleted Scenes (30 mins.): Twelve deleted scenes appear with optional on-screen intros by Kevin Costner, who explains both the scenes themselves and the reasons they were left out. This is not a collection of useless edits and extended scenes, but rather some good pieces of a great film. Lasting anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes, they do offer some insight into the film and at times, even made me wonder why on earth they were left out of the final cut.
Storyboarding Open Range (6 mins.): David J. Negron Jr., the film's storyboard artist walks us through the process of working with Costner and putting the latter's vision onto paper for filming. Costner is notorious for being extremely picky about his shots and for having very strong ideas about what he wants his films to look like, so it's actually pretty interesting to see how someone else interprets his vision (I guess Costner, for all his talents, can't draw).
Music Video Montage (4 mins.): This is a quick montage of shots from the film and set with some music in the background. Not really my cup of tea, but then again, what do I know...

UPDATE 4-Libya clouds U.S. defense chief's Russia visit
* Kremlin says concerned about "indiscriminate" air strikesd
* Gates says coalition seeking to avoid civilian casualties
* Putin closes ranks with Medvedev, criticises coalition
(Recasts with details, Medvedev meeting, Putin comments)
By Phil Stewart and Gleb Bryanski
MOSCOW, March 22 (Reuters) - The United States and Russia clashed over Libya on Tuesday, with Moscow advocating a ceasefire and U.S. defense chief Robert Gates saying some Russians had swallowed Muammar Gaddafi's "lies" about civilian deaths.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, after talks with Gates at his residence outside Moscow, accused coalition forces of carrying out "indiscriminate" air strikes.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin unleashed new criticism of the biggest armed intervention in the Arab world since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, saying those responsible for civilian deaths should "pray for the salvation of their souls".
The tough talk added to criticism from other emerging powers such as China, India and Brazil of coalition bombings meant to destroy Gaddafi's air defenses and create a no-fly zone. Continued...

Albany (N.Y.) roughs up Robert Morris
For the second time in as many games, Robert Morris found itself scrounging for offense without suspended quarterback Jeff Sinclair, who will return to the Colonials' lineup next week, according to coach Joe Walton.
With sophomore backup Matt Layman at the controls, Robert Morris scored its first touchdown of the season Saturday against Albany (N.Y.), but it wasn't nearly enough in a 35-10 loss at Joe Walton Stadium.
"They got out to a big lead on us. It was tough," Walton said.
Will Fiacchi threw three touchdown passes to Cole King and finished 17 for 21 for 208 yards passing to lead Albany (2-0, 1-0), which led at halftime, 21-3.
Robert Morris (0-2, 0-1), after being shutout, 52-0, last week against Division I FCS defending champion North Dakota State, wasn't a lot better in its Northeast Conference opener.
"We've played two good football teams in a row," Walton said. "At least we played a little better today."
Walton said Sinclair, suspended in mid-June for an unspecified violation of team rules, will be the starter next Saturday at Dayton.
"He's our starting quarterback," Walton said of the 6-foot-3, 210-pound senior from Highlands High School. "He's a threat to run the ball and throw it. He'll be with the first team when we resume practicing."
Robert Morris took a short-lived, 3-0 lead Saturday on Greg Langer's career-high 49-yard field goal, the Colonials' longest kick in 12 seasons. The school record is 55 yards by Jeff Carlo against Division III Buffalo State in 2000.
Langer, a Pine-Richland product, has connected on a school-record nine straight field goals dating to last season, including six of at least 36 yards.
Albany, playing in its final season in the NEC before joining the Colonial Athletic Association, went in front for good on Fiacchi's first scoring pass to King, a 40-yard strike with 9:43 left in the first quarter.
Fiacchi's 6-yard touchdown run 5 1⁄2 minutes later pushed the Albany lead to 14-3 before Fiacchi found King, who had five receptions for 124 yards, on a 9-yard scoring pass for the only scoring of the second quarter and gave the Great Danes their 18-point halftime cushion.
Fiacchi's third TD pass to King, a 41-yarder, just 1:01 into the second half made the score 28-3 before Layman found Donte Jeter for 20-yard touchdown pass to account for Robert Morris' other score.
Drew Smith's 2-yard TD run for Albany with 3:31 remaining capped the scoring.

Enough power for Heat Pump in garage renovation?
1 Attachment(s)
We are planning to have our attached garage converted to living space. It is 450 square feet. It will be insulated floor, ceiling and all walls. We live in northern AL.
Our preference is for a conventional unit with the indoor coil and blower mounted in the attic over the garage, feeding conditioned air through ducts to vents in the ceiling.
We have 200 amp service and a dual fuel system (heat pump and gas furnace) in the house proper. At the electrical service panel, there is only one unused 250 v 'slot'. It has 30 amp fuses in it (picture attached).
Is that enough 'juice' to run a second heat pump dedicated to just the renovated garage?
Yeow! Fuses? Look into a mini-split heat pump.
It is plenty for a Zoneline unit. You know, like in a motel room.
you can run a 2 ton ac off 30 amp fuses/breakers in a house and a heat pump is no different. won't need 2 tons and yeah a 1.5 ton will be too big for that space also. a smaller mini split heat pump may be required. the smallest conventional unit is 1.5 tons and can do a space twice that size. an oversized unit will short cycle badly and get damaged. the Fujitsu mini splits are very quiet indoors. they make one that works down to -15 deg F. after that you would need some baseboard heaters. LG and Mitsubishi are major players and good also.

The Wallace Mennonite Brethren in Christ congregation near Palmerston, ON began services and formally organized in 1875. The first building was occupied in 1871, before the group separated from Wallace Mennonite Church and the Mennonite Conference of Ontario in 1875 over revivalism. Wallace Mennonite Brethren in Christ merged with Palmerston Missionary Church in 1972. The building was sold to a Markham-Waterloo Mennonite Conference congregation that became known as the Brotherston Mennonite Church.
In 1950 there were 50 members; in 1972, 38. The congregation dissolved in 1972. It has been affiliated with the Mennonite Brethren in Christ (1875-1947), United Missionary Church (1947-69) and Missionary Church (1969-72). The language of worship was English.
The church was located on Perth Line 89 at Brotherston (Wallace Township). Pastor D. Crouse served in 1972 as a congregational leader.

Count me in the totally satisfied group. Never had a problem with CTD.

I posted this in the Industry sub-forum for CTD over on AR15.com, but I wanted to post it in this community as well as a bit of a word of warning to folks considering doing business with Cheaper Than Dirt.
It seems to me that CTD is "hit or miss" in terms of order quality. Some people have done quite a bit of business with them and never had an issue while some people have horror stories. By no means do I believe my situation is the case for 99.99% of CTD customers... but it has been so disappointing that I felt it worthy of sharing with the community.
To be fair I thought it might also be worthwhile to open a simple poll in this thread asking if from personal experience or reputation, you would do business with CheaperThanDirt. I'm sort of curious to see what the perception of them is.
As Posted on AR15.com
"My wife and I thought it would be fun to order a few of those "Nothing Inside Is Worth Dying For" yard signs as Father's Day gifts. We searched around for the best price and found it at Cheaper Than Dirt. On Friday, May 11th I placed an order for three of the aforementioned yard signs and some ammunition.
The order shipped promptly and shipping was pleasantly quick for the cheapest standard shipping CTD offered for an order where ammunition was included. By Tuesday May 15th I had a box at my door. Only trouble was the ammunition was the only thing in the box.
Thinking that perhaps the items were going to ship separately I checked my order status on CTD.com. There was no indication the items would ship separately, so I e-mailed CTD's Customer Service (CS) via the form on their website on Wednesday May 16th. Later that day I received a response, albeit a bit terse and surprisingly unapologetic, that the items should have all been shipped together and they would be re-shipping the signs for me. Now I'm not the type that requires a gushing apology for honest mistakes because they happen, I was just a bit surprised that a simple apology for the inconvenience was omitted. Certainly not a big deal, though.
On Saturday May 19th, the signs arrived. However the items were not as advertised on the website. They did not include the mounting kits as specifically stated on the product page. Additionally, they did not appear to simply be missing the stakes as I could not see the correct holes in the sign to mount the sign to the stake at all. Something appeared amiss, so on Sunday May 20th I e-mailed CTD's CS again to see what the issue might be. They replied on Monday May 21st that they would have to check with the warehouse to see what the issue was. I did a bit of additional digging around their website and discovered that the same item was posted on the website twice. Exact same picture, description, SKU, price - everything. Only difference was the CTD Item # was ended in "7" for one and "9" for another.
On Tuesday May 22nd another package of three of the incorrect signs arrived leaving me with a total of six. I was advised that the item I had ordered did not include the mounting kit but the "other" item did and it appeared the web team made a mistake posting the items with inaccurate information. I notified them of the additional signs I had received and asked how I could exchange the six incorrect signs with three of the correct ones. On Wednesday May 23rd, I was e-mailed a pre-paid FedEx return label to return the incorrect items. They were shipped at a local office that accepts outbound FedEx mail a few days later.
On Wednesday June 6th I e-mailed to ask the status of my exchange and was told that the return had not arrived (or been processed?) and the replacement signs had not yet been shipped. I inquired again on Tuesday June 12th explaining that I had ordered them as Father's Day gifts over a month in advance and it was starting to seem as if that was not going to happen. I received a reply the same day that my return had still not arrived.
On Thursday June 14th I received an automated e-mail that the order with my replacement signs had shipped. FedEx has the delivery scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday June 16th. We'll see if they're the correct units this time. Assuming everything is fine tomorrow, it will have taken 37 days to get my order completed as ordered. The only words of concern I've gotten in any of the communications I've had with CTD regarding this issue is one e-mail on May 21st where I was told "We apologize for the inconvenience."
Frankly, I am only really offering this story as a word of warning towards potential CheaperThanDirt customers. I can't say that the experience has left me wanting to do any business with CTD again. Like I said: I'm not the type that requires a groveling apology for anything. I'd never ask for one. Having said that, though, I have dealt with many companies in the firearms industry over the years and have never had a buying experience like this. Generally speaking companies in this industry are very concerned with their reputation and can't apologize enough even for a simple thing. Perhaps this is a result of the "100,000 orders per month" that CTD explained in another post they receive and some mistakes will happen. True, but the mistakes should still be handled with some professional courtesy."

Count me in the totally satisfied group. Never had a problem with CTD.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. Because it's in English, thank a vet
Never had a problem with CTD either.
Sorry for your difficulty. I have been a CTD customer since 2003 and will continue to be one. I have always received my order on time. The one time I had a back order I received it 10 days later. I will continue to be a CTD customer unless I run into some unforeseen problem.

I also have done a lot of business with CTD and have had zero problems. I am vary satisfied with there products, service and deliveries. Will keep buying from them.
Stop whining and go do something that makes a difference!
If you think that I may be talking to you, then I am.

I though OK people make mistakes so I accepted it and went on with life. About a week after I got my items from CTD, I was going over Midway USA's catalog and low and behold there was an add for the .50 cal lead round balls. Their price was on sale so I won't even compare there, but their shipping was "free" if I spent 25.00 or more. That is including shipping. I happened to have a gift certificate for 25.00 from Midway so I shopped around through their site and found 68.00 worth of items and shipping was free plus I used my gift certificate which brought down the price considerably.
Now if I am overlooking something about CTD, please let me know. I really like their basic pricing and they have a ton of useful supplies. So if I did something wrong in the handling and shipping pricing, don't hesitate to let me know what it was and I will alter accordingly.
I haven't bought from them yet, so I can't answer the poll. I have been watching their site and considering buying a case of ammo. I'm admittedly curious about their shipping and handling charges.
The handful of orders I have done through them has been shipped quickly without issue.....now if only they didn't charge an arm and a left testicle for shipping....
I am a totally satisfied Customer of Cheeper Than Dirt! Been using them a long time.
I've never had any issues with them at all. And I'm talking big boxes with many mixed items, expertly packed and invoiced.
BTY - I was thinking of buying those same signs, for the enclosed back yard (out of sight of the street or people driving by)... why advertise, let the BG get a supprise It would be more of a sight gag in the back yard than for deterrence.

Who does George Dennison think he's fooling? Last Wednesday, UM's president admitted he had made public the very same fund-raising rejection letter he'd already scolded journalism school Dean Jerry Brown for disclosing. Dennison apologized and said he hadn't intended to release the letter—perhaps realizing such a flagrant 180 would reflect poorly on both his integrity and his competence. But his apology looks to be equal parts bullshit and lies. At this point, the only thing that's clear in these muddied waters is that Dennison has poisoned his credibility and compounded doubts about his tenure.
A bit of background: In late May, Brown gave the Associated Press a letter from the Cox Foundation saying that until Montanans learn to better appreciate out-of-state landowners and resolve stream access issues, there'd be no Cox money for the University. This unsubtle hint from media mogul James C. Kennedy, Brown thought, raised an important public issue, particularly since Kennedy is personally embroiled in a public-access battle involving 3,500 acres he owns along Montana's Ruby River. Nevertheless, Dennison ordered Brown to apologize, which he did. News organizations around the state—the Washington Post, Newsday and the Guardian also picked it up—pilloried Dennison and backed Brown on their editorial pages. And just as the issue was fading, a letter to the Missoulian from UM journalism emeritus professor Bob McGiffert repeated an Associated Press report that Dennison himself had sent the letter to Gov. Schweitzer. Dennison responded with an indignant Missoulian guest column denying the deed and huffing, "Anyone who purports to deal with news has an obligation to get the facts correct."
On June 8, after the governor's office produced the mailing, Dennison was forced to admit he had in fact sent the letter, along with a note drawing Schweitzer's attention to Kennedy's special interest. He still insisted, though, that he didn't intend to send it. (Dennison was out of town this week and unavailable to speak with the Independent, whose reporters hardly ever mail anything to the governor by accident.) His June 10 apology letter in the Missoulian said he realized his error only after looking "carefully at the record."
Just how stupid does Dennison think the Montana press—never mind the public—is? He clearly meant to send the letter along with his note, a cryptic scrawled statement saying, "I thought you might find this letter of interest. The comments reveal a rising level of concern from outside the state about comments made without much thought." How could Schweitzer possibly have interpreted Dennison's note if "this letter" wasn't included? While we are amazed Dennison didn't trace his own deceptive logic to its conclusion, we're additionally baffled by his bad bet that everyone, or anyone for that matter, would accept his reasoning.
We aren't buying it. And we're also troubled that Dennison continues to assert that the letter should have been kept secret, and that he found it appropriate to carry Kennedy's water to the governor's office in the first place. In the wake of the golf course proposal debacle and the Grizzly athletics scandal, it's clear to us that Dennison's stumbling leadership just took a fatal step. In light of recent events, we think he should consider taking another one—down.

Jumping temperature
Hi. recently whilst in traffic my temperature guage rose alarmingly and at the same time the heating blower went cold. As I got moving again the temperature went down and the blower returned to normal. There is coolant and I know the fan is working as it came on when I parked the car up. Has anyboby any ideas what might be the cause. many thanks
My first thought was to be sure there was sufficient coolant level in the reservoir; if it's below the "MIN" mark, the heater will blow cold air. Sounds like you've checked that, though.
My next thought would be the thermostat sticking or a coolant flow line getting blocked somehow...?
Stuck thermostat, faulty water pump, air trapped in cooling system. I'd start in that order.
We had a weird overheating issue with our 2006 Cooper S. Still under warranty and they replaced the thermostat, the fan and a sensor of some sort. Don't recall exactly what parts but the problem was that the fan wasn't going on when the car was stopped or crawling in traffic.

About ten days ago, I posted 12 Gift Ideas for Aspiring Speakers. Since I am the Chairman of a publishing company, several people wrote to say, "What about writers? What do you suggest for them?" So, I pulled together a list of my best gift recommendations.
Photo courtesy of ©iStockphoto.com/cclickclick
Like my gift ideas for speakers, I have tried to include ideas at a variety of price levels. I have arranged the list from least expensive to most expensive. Hopefully, you can find just the perfect gift for a friend or maybe even yourself!
|Gift Suggestion
|On Writing by Stephen King provides a behind-the-scenes look at the life and philosophy of writing. This is really two books in one: the first half is his autobiography. The second half contains his thoughts on writing. The first part is inspirational—you realize that nothing in your life is ever wasted. The second half is practical. One reviewer described is as a "writer's toolkit." The book is one of my favorite writing books ever.
|The thesis behind Miss Thistlebottom's Hobgoblins by Theodore M. Bernstein is that grammar rules are made to be broken. This book is a great review of those grammar rules and when it is appropriate to break them for the greater creative good. It takes the form of a dialogue between Bernstein and Bertha Thistlebottom, an archetypal grade school English teacher. The book is both fun and insightful.
|I have tried all kinds of electronic gadgets, but I keep coming back to the Moleskine Ruled Notebook (pronounced mol-a-skeen-a, not moleskin). I use it to take meeting notes and jot down blogging ideas as I think about them. Almost like American Express, I "never leave home without it." They come in ruled, unruled, and grid designs. I personally use the ruled version. I explain how I use it in "Recovering the Lost Art of Note Taking."
|If you could buy one book on writing, this is it. To quote one reviewer, The Elements of Style by William Strunk and E. B. White is "the Bible for good, clear writing." Written in a funny and unpretentious style, this little volume will make you fall in love with grammar—even if you hated it while going through school. I wish I could get every wannabe author to start by reading this book before they begin writing.
|As a young publisher, I spent a good deal of time trying to get would-be authors to give me the information I needed in order to get their book approved by my publishing committee. I finally wised up and wrote Writing a Winning Non-fiction Book Proposal, a how-to manual for non-fiction authors who want to get published. This short e-book contains everything you need to know to get the attention of an agent or editor. I just completed this expanded new version a few months ago.
|For years, I have known that my original e-book needed to be re-written from the ground up to accommodate the special needs of aspiring novelists. As a result, I have just published Writing a Winning Fiction Book Proposal. It is completely different than the non-fiction version. However, it also uses a concrete example to illustrate the principles that will get the attention of agents and editors.
|This Chicago Manual of Style is the reference book used by most book publishing houses. It is comprehensive and, in most cases, the final authority on matters of grammar and, more interestingly, style. It not only explains all the principles, it provides specific examples of usage. This is one book I keep within reach at work and at home. I refer to it frequently.
|Increasingly, we are seeing word processors that are dedicated to specific kinds of writing. For example, I use ecto for blogging and OmniOutliner (see below) for outlining. In writing my current book, The How of Wow, I decided to give Scrivener a try. I love it. It is a fantastic tool for anyone writing a book, fiction or non-fiction. I know many writers, especially novelists, who use it and rave about it.
|I am an outliner by nature. I literally think in outlines. I always start preparing a speech by starting with an extensive outline. OmniOutliner Professional is the best outlining tool I have found. It is intuitive and easy to use. It also has enormous flexibility. It simply works the way my mind works, making it easy to get the thoughts out of my head and into a form I can organize and begin to package.
|Sadly, How to Write Best Selling Fiction by Dean Koontz is out of print. But you can still buy it used from Amazon. It is not cheap, but it is worth every penny. If you want to write successful, commercial fiction, this book will guide you through the process step-by-step. I only wish that Mr. Koontz would revise it and re-publishing it. I consider this a collectors item. Every novelist should own a copy.
|The Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Classic Ballpoint Pen is the best pen money can buy. It's the Mercedes-Benz of writing instruments. Granted, it's not cheap. But it's the last pen you will ever buy. It makes a terrific gift if you can justify the cost. Hint: you can find them cheaper if you do some shopping around. In fact, I bought mine on eBay. Just make sure that you are buying an authentic Mont Blanc pen with a bona fide serial number.
|Maybe you're tired of trying to get the attention of a traditional publisher. Or maybe you have your own specialized platform and don't feel you need a traditional publisher. You just want to see your book get into print. It that's true, then check out WestBow Press. This is a division of Thomas Nelson and we are offering a 20% discount as a holiday special.

I'm looking for a cat carrier that you place over the cat, like a lid on a casserole, and then the bottom slides under.
Does anyone know where I can purchase such a carrier?

Are you asking this because your cat doesn't like it's carrier?
Actually, cats love small spaces like carriers. They just grow to hate them because we always take them to places they don't like. To make your cat lie it's carrier, a) leave it open and let kitty explore, b) use is as a bed for kitty, c) don't always use the carrier for vet trips. Also use it to bring your cat to places it enjoys.

I haven't seen a cat carrier like that, but you could always check on dog carriers as well. Many breeds of dog are smaller than some cats, so they have a broad variety of sizes, shapes and mechanics. Generally there is a better selection when it comes to dog carriers, but be careful because not all dog carriers fasten securely which can mean an easy escape for a cat or kitten. I chose a pop-up, well ventilated dog carrier for Chaucer because he is so big. Poe can easily fit in there, too. I like that is is open and big so that when we travel out of town it is like they have their own private room where they can retreat. I leave it open in the living room with toys in it so that they are used to it and unafraid. It won't hurt to check on-line pet products and find what the product should cost before you go to a local retailer. Usually, if you do your homework first and know exactly what you are looking for you won't wind up paying $50 for a $10 carrier. Happy Shopping!

You must be talking about the Sleepypod!
Here's where you can get it:-
It's an awesome carrier. When not in use, remove the top and the bottom double as a bed. My kitten though, prefers to sleep on the top/lid, turned over. Strange.

Oh Lord, these stories are hilarious! Here are some from my little cousins.
-We were at a relative's funeral and my cousin Trevor (about 3 at the time) and I were looking through pictures in an album. We came to one of his older brother Tanner, and he didn't skip a beat and said "That's Tanner when he had red eyes".
My twin cousins Hayley and Holley went with me and my mom to Drug Emporium one afternoon. They were about 5 at the time. The whole time we were going through the store they would point out things and say "Oooh we like that" or "Momma loves that" etc, we got to Tide and Hayley says "Other kids have that" and Holley looked at her dead serious and said "No, other kids DON'T have that".
When we were kids my brother would say "I got doodoo" whenever he had a poopy diaper.
My little cousin Grant (3) did the whole "eye on the ball" thing recently. Last time they were down for a visit his aunt (my cousin) had left her razor in the soap dish. Grant unknowingly grabbed it and cut his finger. After all the uproar and bleeding, once they finally got it bandaged he looked at my aunt (his grandma) and said "Nana, I can hear my heart and I'm going to puke now".

Being creative everyday…
Well, almost everyday (From Monday to Friday) sometimes it's not an easy "task". Often you will have the "luck" to meet with mental, emotional or energy barriers that will keep you distracted from being a creative mind. And that is no good, especially if you work in the web design industry.

Mi5 Networks, the web security gateway company, announces a major software enhancement to its Webgate line of high-speed appliances which provide filtering of malicious URLs, spyware, viruses, and inbound/outbound botnet communications.
Version 40 adds control for more than one hundred applications and protocols, including leading Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer, Voice over IP, streaming media, and other enterprise applications. In addition, 4.0 can trace the geographic location of Botnet traffic entering and leaving the network; provides centralized management, policy enforcement, and reporting across multiple devices; and enables new flexible deployment options through ICAP and UFP protocol support.
According to Gartner, Inc., "A Secure Web gateway (SWG) is a solution that filters unwanted software/malware from user-initiated Web/Internet traffic and enforces corporate and regulatory policy compliance. To achieve this goal, SWGs must, at a minimum, include URL filtering, malicious-code detection and filtering, and application controls for popular Web-based applications, such as instant messaging (IM)..."
Webgate 4.0 introduces new Geolocation capabilities that pinpoint the name and geographic origin of attacks for assessing their severity. Webgate Geolocation integrates with Google Maps and provides additional threat data to shed light on the source of botnet command and control infrastructures. This capability also assists organizations when reporting attacks to law enforcement agencies.
Users can create, change, and apply security policies; monitor global network activity and drill down into regions, locations, departments, users, etc.; and access the rich reporting database. CI-10 models can manage up to 10 devices in a 1U form factor. CI-100 units can manage up to 100 Webgate devices in a 2U form factor, and are equipped with redundant power supplies and disks.

At the time Gilson and Matilda Hall Gardner built their summer home in 1918, you probably could look out the back of the house and see the Potomac River. Although the development of Crystal City now obscures that view, the setting hasn't lost its feeling of living in the Virginia countryside.
Gilson Gardner was a Washington correspondent for the Newspaper Enterprise Association, a news service founded by the E.W. Scripps Co. in 1902. He covered Washington politics and World War I and had a syndicated column. In his biography of E.W. Scripps, "Lusty Scripps," one of three books he wrote, Gardner sounded like a jaded journalist: "My job in Washington and elsewhere had accustomed me to meeting the great and the near-great and I stood in no awe of Representatives, Senators, departmentarians or even Presidents. They were all in the day's work."
His wife, Matilda, also had newspapers in her blood. She was the daughter of Frederick Hall, editor of the Chicago Tribune. Educated in Chicago, Paris and Brussels, she became active in the National Woman's Party. In addition to writing articles for the Suffragist, Matilda demonstrated for women's right to vote. In 1917, while picketing in front of the White House, she was arrested for obstructing traffic and sentenced to 60 days in the Occoquan Workhouse. Later, she spent five days in the D.C. jail.
The home's bucolic surroundings seemed to attract journalists; NBC White House correspondent Ray Scherer later owned it.
Although the two-bedroom main house and two-bedroom guest house have been modified over the years, the property retains much of the original character and charm of an early 20th-century summer home.
Once known as Dyke's Acre — Dyke was Gilson's nickname — the current owners, Lee and Deborah Genuleas, changed the name to Tilly's Ridge in honor of Matilda. The Genuleases, who bought the home in 2003, have done extensive work to the property, renovating the kitchens in both houses and the bathrooms.
They restored the heart of pine floors in the living room and bedrooms. In the kitchen, they removed five layers of old flooring and replaced it with reclaimed heart of pine from a house in Georgetown. The living room features a brick hearth, crown molding and chair rail.
"The living room is the one space that's probably untouched, other than [refinishing] the floors," Lee Genuleas said.
The dining room with its slate flooring was originally a screened porch. After it was enclosed, French doors were added that open to a patio. The family room, which was constructed in 1987, offers spectacular views from its wall of windows. An arbor-covered patio connects the main house to the guest house. A 100-year-old yew hedge guards the back of the property.
Located on nearly three-quarters of an acre with a view of the Washington Monument, the property is listed at $1.785 million. An open house is scheduled for Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

Troggs Singer Reg Presley Dies at 71
The Troggs singer Reg Presley has passed away at the age of 71. Presley and the Troggs are best known for their 1966 hit, Wild Thing.
Presley battled lung cancer for the past year. He died at his home in Andover, England on Monday. His agent Keith Altham made the statement on his Facebook page:
"My dear old pal Reg Presley of The Troggs died today at l.OO. surrounded by family and friends at his home in Andover following a succession of recent strokes and a losing battle with cancer. He was one very real person in a sometimes very unreal world. Our thoughts are with his wife Brenda and the the family and those legion of fans who loved his music and his band. I will miss him hugely."
The Troggs were a British invasion band who recorded Wild Thing, which launched the band into stardom. They also released over hits including Love is All Around and With a Girl Like You.

Emma and Dave were married this past February at the quaint and incredibly historic Navy Hall in Niagara on the lake, and had their reception at the wonderful Peller Estates. Dave was really hoping to have some shots in the snow, but alas we had a big thaw the day before, and ironically it snowed in the evening, when they were enjoying their reception. You had to feel for the guy (and it would have been a lot of fun to shoot in)
Here are some of my favourites from the day.

The year 2000 could be a problem for older computers and software because many use two-digit date codes and can't distinguish between 2000 and 1900. This could potentially lead to computer failures. For more information on the problem, check out my five-part series on the topic written a year and three months ago. I was convinced then, and am even more so now, that Y2K will be at worst a bump in the road, not some major catastrophe.
We have only a few weeks until January 1, 2000, and I'm delighted to say that there's no widespread panic or hysteria, no mass hoarding of cash or food, and no ominous reports on TV of impending doom. U.S. markets have soared, contrary to earlier forecasts that investors would cash out in late 1999 for fear that all would be lost come the New Year. You know Y2K is no big deal when the made-for-TV movie bombs.
In other words, sanity and rational thinking have prevailed, and life is continuing pretty much as normal. The biggest question is not, "What are you doing to prepare for Y2K?" but "What are you doing for New Year's?"
Even the Fool's Year 2000 Problem message board, which was once abuzz with activity, has only a dozen or so messages so far this month and about 30 for all of November. That compares with roughly 320 message board posts in September 1998. I read the lack of interest not as apathy or ignorance, but as yet another sign that the Y2K problem was overplayed.
People are not panicking because companies have made many reassurances regarding Y2K and have committed a lot of time and resources to prepare for the problem. Take Citibank's Y2K Web page. As I've said before, it's not as if technology officers and company executives weren't aware of the problem. Au contraire. There are companies that have been working on Y2K since 1997 or earlier.
As Citibank tells us: "We are creating Y2K Command Centers to manage the transition period when 1999 turns into 2000. Our businesses from New York to Singapore, Brazil to Brussels, Paris to Sydney have developed Y2K related business plans to manage this time period. We also are working closely with many external organizations including third party service providers, industry associations such as the Global 2000 Coordinating Group and regulatory bodies. In fact, we already have participated in many successful coordinated industry-wide tests with other financial entities as part of our ongoing preparations for Y2K."
Rest assured that as far as money is concerned, we're covered. Your 401(k) isn't about to implode or explode come January 1. You'll be able to withdraw cash from ATM machines. The stock markets will open as usual on January 3, the first Monday of 2000. If you're like me, your bank and credit card statements have all declared the financial institutions ready for Y2K.
According to the latest bulletin from the President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion, as of December 1, all systems were ready at the Federal Aviation Administration (they had been since June 30). Similarly, according to the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC), nearly all large electric companies are Y2K ready, though the power industry has prepared contingency plans just in case.
Ironically, our biggest headache may be computer viruses designed to wreak havoc on January 1. One virus Symantec calls "W32.Mypics.Worm" has a "destructive payload that triggers in the year 2000." In fact, it's designed to mimic the Y2K problem and will display the message "CMOS Checksum Invalid" and prevent the computer from booting when the system clock changes over to 2000. According to Symantec, "This can easily be corrected by going into the BIOS setup." (Don't ask me what that means, but it shouldn't be too hard, right?)
I for one plan to welcome in the New Year no holds barred.
By the way, for those of you with ancient VCRs that don't have dates beyond 1999, I've got a tip for you. My husband thought of a way to circumvent this mini-Y2K problem without having to buy a new VCR. Set the year on your VCR clock back to 1972. The dates and days of the week match those of the Year 2000 to a tee.
Happy New Year, everyone! Party like it's 1999.

E90 pulls to the right
Just got 2007 328i AT. Runs good but pulls the right a bit. I took it for wheals alignment, but they were not able to find a reason. CARFAX report indicates no accidents at all and no visual evidence either. Front brakes and rotors are new. Rims and tires are the same make and ware. On some threads I red that steering column could be a problem. Could this be a blown strut. Has anyone had a similar issue?
Also, there is no oil dipstick. I can check oil level through display, but it only works after driving for a while. What if the level is low? They want you to drive it just to find out that its low? Well, I imagine that check engine light will light up, but still. Please share your experience with it? I like to change oil when it gets dark? How should I check the color of the oil? Take a sample from under valve cover?
This car has 90K on it, Should I change auto transmission fluid or not to mess with it?

Try swapping the front and rear passenger wheels. Mine was pulling to the right as well and I took it to a local tire shop. The manager looked at my tires and said they sometimes the tired do this and swapping the front and rear directional tires will correct it if it is the tires. Don't really know exactly why since my tires were 90% new. They swapped the tires and believe it or not that fixed the problem. Try that first. Start with the cheapest trouble shooting angle first then move on from there. Good luck.

RXL328 is right about the tires; move them, and see if it pulls to the left. It could be a tire problem; I've had that problem before ... tire separating internally.
You are correct, there's no dipstick; BMW uses an oil level sensor. The engine has to be warm to check the level. The controls to access the computer are on the turn signal lever. Oil color has little to do with how much oil life is remaining. Using your rule, you'd be changing the oil in my Diesel right after you start it after an oil change; it goes from new to black that fast. BWM uses condition based service to predict when you need an oil change, but I go with the Bentley service manuals recommendation ... every 7,500K miles.
I'm not sure what the transmission fluid interval. If you don't have an owner's manual, get one. Read it. Lots of good information in there.

The e-dipstick in BMWs is actually one of the better ones, it's "accurate" within a couple minutes of turning on the engine, and you're able to use it while moving. Compared to the one that comes on new Porsches, engine has to be completely at operating temp (like 10-15 minutes of driving), you have to be stationary, and it takes like a full minute for it to give you a reading so you're basically just sitting in a parking lot for a minute staring at the dash.

My Ride: 2011 328iT 3 pedals
I had a brand new Honda Accord with a Michelin "radial pull" tire. It pulled to the right when it was on the right front and then pulled to the left with on the left side. My mechanic said it was a tire defect. The Honda dealer said to go to a tire dealer and deal with it. The tire dealer said that might be the case, but wanted to me to align it, balance it and let them test drive it to be sure it was the tire. All of that was more than the cost of the tire. Since it was a leased car, I kept the tire on and turned it back it the same way. Putting the tire on the rear helped a little, but Honda's "there's nothing wrong with our car, but there's something wrong with you" attitude took me back to BMW pretty quick.

Afghanistan based mobile network, Roshan has expanded its mobile money service, M-Paisa to payments for tickets with the Kam Air airline.
Customers who purchase tickets through M-paisa will also receive 10% off the airline purchase price.
"As part of our commitment to bringing innovative services to Afghanistan, we are pleased to be partnering with Kam Air, to bring the convenience and safety of mobile purchases to our customers. This partnership expands our growing merchant network throughout the country, providing more ways for Roshan customers to make purchases, using their M-Paisa wallet," said Karim Khoja, Chief Executive Officer, Roshan. Kam Air is also a strategic partner in Roshan's VIP program, the first of its kind in Afghanistan.
Upon payment through M-Paisa, customers will receive an SMS with a reference number, which will serve as their ticket. In April 2011, M-Paisa received Afghanistan's first Electronic Money Institute (EMI) license from the Da Afghanistan Bank.
