Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi, glad to be of help.
Both P2563 and P2564 are turbo codes. Could be a bad wire to vane position sensor. First check Battery condition/connections and wiring to vane position sensor and repair as necessary.
P2563- Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor Performance
P2564- Turbocharger vane control position sensor low voltage
See: http://www.dieselbombers.com/chevy-gmc-duramax-04-5-05-lly/33064-help-code.html
Once these tucks start setting turbo vane sensor out of range or turbo vane position not learned codes, it means the turbo is failing or has failed. If they still set the code after any wiring damage has been repaired, look to the actual turbo, not any sensors, being the problem. A new sensor comes with the new turbo, so don't waste money buying one. Be sure to have the problem diagnosed by a qualified shop before spending the money.
Forum links
I don't recommend rebuilding the turbo yourself unless you've done them before. They are critically balanced and easily damaged, they must spin freely and continuously. You don't want pieces of turbo going into your engine. For peace of mind, get a new or rebuilt one. With a new one, a new sensor comes with it.
You'll need an appropriate scan tool such as Tech2 and multimeter. To test the sensor, Uplug the sensor, turn on the key, and check the three wires (unplugged) with a digital multimeter. One should be 5V, one is ground, and the third should not be 5V, but rather open or near open (well over 10k Ohm). If that checks good, key off, and test the position sensor looking at it as if it were a rheostat (it is). Using the wire data you just acquired at link below, (which is 5V, ground and signal), hand actuate the sensor, measuring resistance between the 5V pin and the signal pin. Are any anomalies noted? See this link:
P0700-Transmission Control System Malfunction
This code states that we have a trans problem ( all 700 codes relate to drivetrain) and you need to read on to find all the related codes. When I say read on, I mean scan further because P0700 only tells you which computer picked up the problem. In this case it is the TCM ( transmission control module).
P0847 -Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch 'B' Circuit Low
This is for Transmission pressure switch d stuck closed. This code can be caused by any of the following 1)A short in the wiring for the pressure switch D circuit, Which would be wire "202" pin 2 in the red connector at the transmission TCM, "Mounted to the radiator" Or 2) A Defective D solenoid 3)A sticking shift valve in the valve body or a short in the wiring from the transmission control module to the transmission.
P0046- Turbocharger Vane Control Position Performance
Circuit Description
The position of the turbocharger vanes is controlled by theengine control module (ECM). The ECM utilizes a turbocharger vane controlsolenoid valve and a turbocharger vane position sensor to control theturbocharger vanes. When the engine is not under load, the turbocharger vanesare in an open position, or no boost condition. When the engine is under load,the ECM commands the control solenoid valve to close the turbocharger vanes,thus increasing the boost. The ECM will vary the boost dependant upon the loadrequirements of the engine. The vane control solenoid valve uses 2 circuits, acontrol circuit and a low reference circuit. The ECM uses a pulse widthmodulation (PWM) on the control circuit to control the solenoid valve. The ECMprovides a ground on the low reference circuit. If the ECM detects that thecommanded position of the turbocharger vanes does not match the actualposition, DTC P0046 will set.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0046 Turbocharger Vane Control Position Performance
Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects that the commanded position of theturbocharger vanes does not match the actual position.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction indicatorlamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runsand fails.
The control module records the operating conditions at thetime the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the controlmodule stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnosticreports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control modulerecords the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control modulewrites the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the FailureRecords.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
Diagnostic Aids
If any service has been performed on the turbocharger or onthe turbocharger components, a turbocharger relearn must be performed. Failureto perform the turbocharger learn procedure may cause this DTC to set. Refer toTurbocharger Learn Procedure .
For an intermittent condition, refer to IntermittentConditions .
Did you mean P0446?If so, that is a code for EVAP Vent System performance. It is usually caused bya bad Vent Solenoid Valve or a bad Purge Valve Solenoid. There is a GeneralMotors TSB out on the problem in which the VSV must be replaced and the EVAPvent tube gets relocated up to the transmission tunnel.
Turbo repair video
I don't have any videos that are vehicle specific but thesewill give you some idea of what you'll be facing if you try rebuildingyourself.
Good luck with your project.

Political camps need to tune out 'interference'
Political camps need to tune out 'interference'
What is interference and what is not? Let's try to nail that down now that a caustic verbal war has erupted over it. Was it inviting foreign interference when democracy camp elders Martin Lee Chu-ming and Anson Chan Fang On-sang shot off to the United States to seek American help in our fight for universal suffrage? Absolutely, the central government snarled. Lee and Chan dismissed the accusation as gibberish. Was it interference in our local affairs when liaison office boss Zhang Xiaoming raised HK$25 million for the Beijing-loyalist Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong at its anniversary dinner? Definitely, Lee screamed. Nonsense, the DAB replied.
So to Lee, it is not interference to seek US help on Hong Kong democracy but it is for the DAB to seek mainland China's help to raise funds. To the DAB, it is not meddling to seek mainland help to raise funds but it is for Lee to seek US help on democracy. Was it meddling in mainland affairs when legislator "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung brought a suitcase stuffed with June 4, 1989, material to Shanghai? Of course, the mainland lectured. Rubbish, the democracy camp retorted. If mainland legislators brought suitcases of Communist Party material here, the democracy camp would cry interference. These are the two sides trying to find common ground on universal suffrage. Who are they kidding?
Tunnelgate: time to dig deep for the truth on delay
A sophisticated tunnel-boring machine goes kaput from rain. That delays a HK$67 billion high-speed railway by nine months. A dazed transport minister admits he is clueless about it all. Other railway board members sheepishly confirm ignorance. Railway officers explain the fiasco with words that sound more like lies than truths. When exposed as speaking with a forked tongue, they circle the wagons and clam up. Frankly, Public Eye cannot decide if we should call this a comedy or cover-up. Let's call it Tunnelgate.
We now have a tunnel to nowhere, a multimillion-dollar tunnelling machine inexplicably exposed to flooding, a high-speed railway that's stuck in the station, billions in wasted dollars, and the truth trapped behind zipped lips. When did Secretary for Transport and Housing Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung know about the delay and what did he know? Why did he claim surprise when he and two other government officials sit on the MTR Corporation board? Why did other non-railway board members claim ignorance, too? Were they all asleep at the wheel or did MTR officials hide the truth from them? Why did the MTR wait weeks after the March 30 black rainstorm to blame it for the tunnelling machine breaking down? Why did Cheung and MTR officials deny it when the media reported last year that there would be a delay? Are MTR officials using the rain to cover up a delay they have known for about a year?
We want answers. Where are you, Woodward and Bernstein?
'Long Hair' v John Tsang: battle of the wimps
Martial-arts black belt Financial Secretary John Tsang Chun-wah has mocked Leung Kwok-hung as a coward who bullies those he knows will not fight back. The taunt came after Leung hurled "hell money" for the dead last Wednesday at Tsang, who responded with a weak "Go away". Come on, guys (should we say wimps?), show us what you're made of. Tsang's kung fu versus Long Hair's bananas. May the best wimp win.

Money Saving Gas Tips
Photo courtesy of Hakan Dahlstrom
With the way the economy is now and particularly the rising gas prices as relates to travel, we are seeing increases in everything from airfares to even just taking the family on a little road trip. It used to be that driving yourself was a good option for savings. Not so much any more.
Yet, there are still a few tactics out there to help curb driving costs on a trip. I have been reading and hearing about a number of good tips on how to conserve gas when driving and in the end, all these little bits of savings can add up.
I compiled some of the ones that I thought were good and want to pass on some of this advice to you bloggers to encourage you to consider keeping those driving travel plans if you are willing to adhere to a few of these pointers. Some may just seem like common sense and they are but still bear mentioning.
- Rapid acceleration and braking can lower gas mileage by 33% on highways.
- Turn off or turn down the AC and drive with the windows open to save about 5-20%.
- Travel light. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk works out to about using an extra 20 gallons a year.
- Mileage decreases rapidly when you drive above 60 mph. For each 5 miles above 60 you pay about $.24 / gallon more for gas.
- Use your cruise control to maintain a steady speed.
- Keep your tires inflated properly, and check often. Look at the label on the door of the driver's side. This alone will save you about 3% of fuel costs.
- Keep you car in good repair. Need a tune up? Getting one can improve gas mileage on average 4%.
Get in the habit of doing these things as a matter of habit and save on your road trip and all the time.
Do you have some gas savings tips to share? Love to hear them.

These are definitely good tips! I would add to try to time road trips so you're staying out of traffic and not traveling in the heat of the day if possible. Those two things make a MAJOR difference in my gas mileage!

It's clear the San Francisco 49ers are taking a very cautious approach with a number of key veterans early on in training camp. That approach has allowed younger players to get valuable reps, including second-year tight end Vance McDonald on Thursday.
McDonald finished the afternoon practice on the receiving end of eight balls (unofficially) from Colin Kaepernick during 7-on-7 and full-team drills to lead the team.
McDonald was given a high volume of reps as Vernon Davis watched from the sideline. Davis doesn't appear injured. He's likely being eased back into the fold after holding out from the team for the entire offseason program.
The list of other vets that sat out Thursday includes Justin Smith (shoulder), Ray McDonald (unspecified leg injury), Anthony Davis (shoulder), Tramaine Brock (unspecified leg injury), Michael Crabtree ("working through something") and Brandon Lloyd (ditto).
Back to McDonald, who made one of the catches of the day late in practice on a seam route along the right side of the formation. Kaepernick fired a pass in between the safety and linebacker, and McDonald looked back at the last possible moment to catch the back end of the ball for a sizable gain.
"We'd like to get him around a little quicker there," offensive coordinator Greg Roman said after practice.
McDonald could have made even more receptions, but had a couple of drops he would like to have back. The 49ers have done a lot to add targets in the passing game this offseason, but considering how often the team uses two-tight end formations, McDonald's progression as a pass catcher remains vital to the offense.
Crabtree left Wednesday's practice midway through without participating in team drills. He wasn't seen on the practice field Thursday and is "working through something," according to Roman.
Roman indicated Crabtree's injury is not serious. Before leaving Wednesday's practice early, he was having a very strong camp looking much like he did before suffering his Achilles tear last year.
"I think he's in great shape relative to what he did last year. He came off the Achilles injury and just really gutted it out the end of the year," Roman said. "I don't have this as a fact, but I don't know that everybody would have played that early coming off that injury. But he wanted to get out and help the team. Didn't make a lot of fan fair about it and just toughed it out. That's the guy he is. He's looking sharp."
Another notable play came early in the day during a two-minute drill when Kaepernick found second-year wideout Quinton Patton for a touchdown along the right sideline.
Patton beat Perrish Cox (who intercepted Kaepernick twice Wednesday) on a double move in single coverage to make it a relatively easy connection from 25-yards out. The play looked just like Kaepernick's final pass of the 2013 season that was tipped by Richard Sherman and intercepted by Malcolm Smith in the conference championship game. Only instead of Sherman being in perfect position, Cox bit on the first move allowing Patton to get behind him.
It looked like Kaepernick and Patton made an adjustment from Wednesday's two-minute drill, when Cox jumped an out route and made one of his two interceptions. Thursday Cox bit on the route and was beat deep for the score.
Kaepernick was a perfect 4-4 on the drive, which included passes to McDonald and a slant route to Anquan Boldin for a big gain up the middle where it appeared Michael Wilhoite and Nick Moody got mixed up in their coverage assignments.
For the day Kaepernick (unofficially) completed 21 of 28 passes during team drills.
For the first time in camp, rookie outside linebacker Aaron Lynch and center Marcus Martin participated in individual drills with their position mates.
Martin had been working his way back from an ankle injury he suffered while away from the team between last month's OTAs and training camp. Lynch suffered a significant hamstring strain during minicamp.
Both players were suited up in shells at the start of the afternoon session. They stretched and participated in individual drills before leaving to work out in the weight room and on the side field at the start of the team portion of practice.
Their first days with team drills are likely to come Friday afternoon or Sunday. The team has an off day Saturday.
Cornerback Chris Culliver was also back in action after leaving practice early Sunday and missing Tuesday and Wednesday. He worked primarily with the first team at right cornerback. Don't be surprised if the 49ers give Culliver a number of days off during camp going forward to make sure his ACL tear suffered last summer is fully rehabilitated.

Marasco outpoints Di Silvio
By Enrico "Erik" Crociati at ringside
Italian rising star Luca Marasco (15-0, 5 KOs) retained his National title at the lightweight limit for the second time in front of his supporters at the Dancing Sport Lavello in Calolziocorte, Italy on Friday night. Local hero Marasco outscored the vicious challenger and former Italian titlist Pasquale Di Silvio (11-2, 4 KOs) over ten entertaining and strong rounds of boxing.

It was a heated fight, with a football-like atmosphere with the fans screaming loudly to support their hero. Both fighters gave more than expected, though, and went toe-to-toe without any stop in a real exciting battle. The clash is easily the "Fight of the Year" so far in Italy. The taller Di Silvio started the contest at a high pace, trying to establish his jab early on but the local boy, trained by Egidio Bugada, was able to solve matters and close the distance with his aggressive style and used his superior ringcraft with an effective strong workrate to gain control of the clash. Di Silvio tried to re-enter in the fight but he did not have the power and stamina to counter Marasco's pressing and persistent attacks, Marasco punctuated his win stepping up gears during the last two rounds and cruised to a deserved unanimous decision win. The three judges scored it 96-94 and twice 97-94 for the undefeated Italian champ who might now be ready for a European or International title fight.
Topping the undercard of the Mario e Graziano Loreni promoted show, rising junior lightweight Benoit Manno (5-0, 1 KOs) passed his sternest test decisioning tough warrior Michael Isaac Carrero (9-9-2, 4 KOs) of Nicaragua,over six rounds.
The main event was televised by RaiSport Più.

Ok this is a basic tutorial. (Needs TOR to run.)
Now if you don't know already proxychains allows tunneling TCP or DNS trough proxies. It supports HTTP, socks4 and socks5 proxy servers that can be chained together.
Proxychains is used to:
-hide your ip
-run programs trough proxy servers
-acces your home network from the outside trought reverse proxy.
Ok now Backtrack already has it installed so we are going to skip that part and go the the configuration.
To configure Proxychains just open a terminal and type in : "nano /etc/proxychains.conf" as you can see we have some features about how the program chains proxies:
-dynamic_chain: takes the proxies in the order you added them and skips dead proxies.
-random_chain: takes the proxies from the list in a random order.
-strict_chain: takes the proxies in the order you added them like the dynamic_chain except this chaining option does not skip dead proxies.
Ok after you pick up the chain option you need to add proxies, if you scrool down proxychains.conf you will find something like this :
This tells you how the proxies should be added to the list, you can separate type from host and the rest just by adding a black space or by hitting the "tab" key.Code:# ProxyList format # type host port [user pass] # (values separated by 'tab' or 'blank')
Than you will see the proxylist where we can add our proxies:
Ok after the last line "socks4 127.0.0.1 9050" (do not DELETE that!) we add our proxies. We can find those with a simple search on google.Code:[ProxyList] # add proxy here ... # meanwile # defaults set to "tor" socks4 127.0.0.1 9050
After we finished our configuration, we save the file. Now it's time to run the program.
(this command is used to resolve host names via proxy or tor)Code:proxyresolv targethost.com
(this command tells the proxychains program that after he passed trough the proxies you added in the proxychains.conf file to connect to the "site.com" via firefox)Code:proxychains firefox site.com
(same as previous definition, only this time it connects trought telnet to the target)Code:proxychains telnet target
Well as I specified at the beginning it is a basic tutorial. Hope you like it!
P.S. Sorry if I didn't type all the words correct, I was in a hurry.

The weekend heralded the start of the pre-season proper, with heavyweights Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all in action. And that can only mean one thing: the new season is mere weeks away. Huzzah.
It's an enjoyable time of the football calendar, a time of amicable warm-up games played out in the sunshine, as recent additions take their bows and nice new kits (and Everton's latest away strip) are aired for the first time. Anticipation for what lies ahead abounds and hope is everywhere.
It also gives teams the opportunity to address any deficiencies left over from last season, try something new and look at ways they can improve during the new campaign.
Yet, while improvement is undoubtedly on the mind of every manager before the new season starts, there are those who are more reluctant to accept a change in tactics and style than others.
Take Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, for example.
The Gunners have long been criticised for not possessing the toughness required to win another Premier League crown and for their insistence on advocating style over substance.
Arsenal are, if you like, the old Netherlands of the Premier League.
But whereas the Dutch were all too willing to sacrifice the beautiful game for the rough and ready tactics they believed would bring them World Cup glory, Wenger is unlikely to follow in Bert van Marwijk's footsteps at Arsenal.
Wenger is a stubborn man, one who over the years has shown an unwillingness to alter his approach to the game.
So far this summer he has brought in a ball-playing centre-back and a striker who looks like Cristiano Ronaldo. Hardly the kind of players who are likely to bring about a seismic shift towards a new, grittier and more effective style.
Against Barnet on Saturday, all the Gunners' flair attacking play was once again in evidence, as Andrei Arshavin, Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott all thrilled in fits and starts, but the fear is that Arsenal will be facing the same old problems once the season kicks off in a month's time.
Robin van Persie, who was not involved at Underhill, voiced his concern over the weekend.
The striker said: "I know how difficult it can be to play wonderful football and not get the result you want. I see it at Arsenal more than I want to.
"When we play the likes of Bolton and Blackburn we dominate the game, we play attacking football and they score from a lousy throw-in or an odd corner kick.
"The criticism Holland got in the World Cup I recognise from what we get at Arsenal. It was a final. You don't give up without a fight, do you?"
Whether that was a non-too subtle hint aimed at Wenger to take a leaf out of the Dutch books and adopt a rather less artistic approach to the game or just a sign of frustration is not clear, but the manager would do well to listen to his striker.
ED isn't advocating kung-fu kicks - or Mark van Bommel for that matter - but Arsenal need to begin, as Van Persie says, to put up a fight if they are improve on last season.
Wenger's love for playing the beautiful game is undeniably admirable, but such is the difficulty in finding a balance between style and getting results, perhaps it is time for him to consider the new Dutch anti-football approach to the game.
- - -
Look at any World Cup A-Z and you'll see under 'V' the word vuvuzela.
But the horns that have become synonymous with the tournament in South Africa are unlikely to make it over here, despite the best efforts of some ambitious importers.
'Original Vuvuzelaman' is selling the devil's trumpets for £9.95 on Amazon and it doesn't take a maths boffin to work out that a couple of thousand of them at each ground up and down the country every weekend will make him a very rich man.
Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for anyone with vaguely sensitive eardrums, they are not likely to see the light of day en masse over here, as ever more clubs issue banning orders on the instruments.
Oldham were the latest to say no to the vuvuzela over the weekend, joining a wealth of lower league clubs - and rugby clubs and music festivals - in doing so.
Interestingly, Premier League clubs are yet to be too vocal on the subject, leading ED to wonder why.
Would it be too cynical to suggest that they're merely waiting to see if there's any money to be made from the venture - surely a Manchester United branded trumpet is only around the corner (£24.95 RRP) - before they close the door on that particular avenue of income?
- - -
FOREIGN VIEW: Could things get any worse for France coach Raymond Domenech? In a word, yes. The much-maligned boss's contract is due to expire at the end of the month, with Laurent Blanc ready to step into the breach, but word from Paris is that he might not even make it that far and will be sacked before he walks for 'tarnishing the image of the French Football Federation'.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "During (Milan's) USA tour, we met a few people. And David Beckham is pushing to get Dinho at LA Galaxy. Should an agreement not be reached for a renewal at Milan, this could be an option for next summer." One of the most prolific agent/brothers in the game, Robert De Assis, touts Ronaldinho to link up with Milan pal Dave Becks in LA.
COMING UP: Paul Parker will be filing later on in the day and there are a couple of early evening Russian Premier League games to follow. But otherwise, there is little football to enjoy today. So why not turn your attention to the Tour de France, which continues with the peloton setting off from Pamiers on the road to Bagneres-de-Luchon - follow all the action live from 11:20 UK time.

Loving my amazing dh, James & forever missing Aaron Ambrose (11/07)
My DH loves McDonald's. He grew up with very different eating/cooking styles than I did, ...So, DH sends me a link to a website that describes in explicit detail HOW to make McDonald's recipes, down to the exact ingredients and how to prepare.
I did not even know how to respond to that. On the one hand I felt like that was the last straw and I was just going to get my stuff and leave. (To where I have no idea, but somewhere) On the other hand, I found myself arranging how to gently explain that if he wanted McDonald's, there was one up the street - you know, the one he eats at at least 2ce a week.
You don't understand. He now EXPECTS me to make McDonald's at home. I said no way, and he now blames me for his overspending by eating out. Yes, he really is like this. The problem is, even if I go out and buy all those ingredients (including an expensive deep fryer) and spend the afternoon following the recipes to a t, I will not be able to make it taste exactly like McDonalds. Then I will hear the complaints and further suggestions of how to make it the right way.
Sorry for this little vent, but seriously - am I the only one who would be insulted by this?

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
It wasn't always easy, but the Celtics took a lead early and never relinquished it en route to a 101-96 victory over the Bulls on Monday in Chicago.
Rajon Rondo led his team out of the gates early with his play on both ends of the court and finished with a team-high in every statistical category besides blocks with 20 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds and 5 steals.
The Bulls were led by a monster performance from Luol Deng who had 26 points and 11 boards. Joakim Noah recorded 17 points and 11 rebounds and helped limit Kevin Garnett to just 6-for-15 shooting.
The Celtics led by 12 at the half and at the start of the fourth quarter, and shot 64 percent through three quarters. In the fourth quarter the Bulls turned up the defense and held the Celtics scoreless for five straight minutes before cutting their deficit to just a bucket with under a minute to play.
Garnett responded to the Bulls run with an emphatic alley-oop dunk on an assist from Rondo that essentially iced the game.
All the Celtics starters scored in double figures led by Rondo, and 16 points on an efficient 5-of-6 shooting night from Brandon Bass. Garnett had 15 points, Jason Terry added 13, and Paul Pierce recorded 10 points to go with 5 assists and 6 rebounds.
The Celtics' bench also contributed valuable minutes, outscoring the Bulls bench 27-14. One of the ways the Celtics controlled this game was by limiting their turnovers to just 8 on the night. The Celtics also didn't let any free points go to waste, connecting on all 16 of their free throw attempts.
The Celtics entered the game having lost 5 games in a row in Chicago. Not only were the Bulls playing without Derrick Rose on Monday night, they were also without key guard Kirk Hinrich. As a result, all of the Bulls minutes at point guard went to Nate Robinson and rookie Marquis Teague.
The Celtics come home Wednesday evening to host the Utah Jazz before zipping down to Brooklyn to play a key division game with the Nets in their new arena on Thursday.

Just a few more days to see the exhibit 'Home and Away', featuring Camera West customer Daniel Postaer's photos along with fellow grad of the SF Art Institute, Filza Ahmad. Their photos are on display at the Swell Gallery at the SF Art Institute thru this Saturday, the 16th of November.
'Home and Away' showcases a series of images that deal with the dichotomy of the familiar and unfamiliar culminating from the individual journeys of photographers Daniel Postaer and Filza Ahmad.
Last summer, Postaer and Ahmad planned to travel to India on a photo-expedition led by Linda Connor. Due to heightened Pakistan-India political tensions and endless bureaucratic red tape, Ahmad (a Pakistani national) was unable to join the group as the Indian government denied her visa. Subsequently, Ahmad decided to capture, for the first time ever, her childhood home of Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia while Postaer continued on with a three-week exploration of Northern India. Both photographers gained access to often-misunderstood nations—reaching a greater sense of understanding of these places from behind the lens.

Mudding an entire wall..
I have been thinking about Mudding my entire living room as the drywall has small nicks and dings and it would take for ever to patch each and every ding.. Which Mud would be best to use? The heavier compund or the lightweight compound? What should I use to thin out the compound water, white paint? Any help would be aprreciated. We have been working on remodeling this house for awhile know and now come some of the simplier projects. Thanks Karen :thumbup:
First thing is to get the right tools. Nice wide blade. Then practice some and determine your skill level. I think you should look into hot mud sold in bags from 5-120 minutes.
If the walls are so dinged up? Why not consider something like Nu-Wall?
never heard of Nu Wall.... I am not gonna lie.. I have crappy mudding experience. I've had many people try to teach me how but low and behold I suck at it. So I thought that maybe thinning out some drywall compound and roling the walls would be a simple project that I weould not beable to screw up... :laughing:
Nu wall is but one of resurfacing materials for walls that have had it. It is basically a giant sized patch that covers most imperfections, cracks and so forth. I have used it only as a last resort.
Nu Wall is more for cracked plaster walls. Skim coat with regular ready mix mud (thinned for ease of use). Hit the deepest places first with setting type, then 2 skim coats should do it....
A light weight finishing compound is all you need. Before you try skimming the entire surface, fill the deep holes and then sand the entire wall.
Well as of a cpl days ago I decided to start some destruction on the walls as I noticed when i moved the heat vent a little bit of mold starting so down came two walls.. think I got myself in over my head but did not want to have to deal with the mold issue's at a later time..:thumbsup:
I like to use Sheetrock 90 with a wet mixture for the first coat. It gives time to float it out and dries quick..2nd coat is premix, thinned.
imo hot mud setting compound 2o,45,90,would be to hard for a diyer even for the experienced unless your working with this stuff daily. ok you can use it to fill dents, gouges, holes ,low spots .but for skimming i would use all purpose joint compound .thin with a little walter you can even roll it on with a 3/8 nap roller then smooth it out with your 12 inch blade their is a skill to this start out on small area and work your way up.dont rush dry times prime with a latex primer sealer and paint latex at the big boxes lowes they have books on drywall finishing about 20 dollars ,or just stand their and read it:huh:

You want one thing, your child wants another
We've all been there - you want to do one thing, your child wants to do something else. What do you do? Dr Justin Coulson shares his own recent experiences with his children.
In the past weeks I have had two experiences with my four year old that have reinforced a principle of parenting that nearly everyone gets wrong nearly all the time.
Exhibit A
My little girl turned four and to celebrate we went to the zoo. At the end of an exhausting day of walking, we attempted to leave the zoo, but that meant we had to walk through the zoo's gift shop. This is a deliberate commercial ploy on the part of the zoo; they know that parents are exhausted as they walk through the store to return home. They also know that, as soon as the little kids see that cute little stuffed, overpriced giraffe placed on the shelf at approximately knee height (for adults), said kids are going to go bananas until exhausted parent sighs, hands over the credit card and purchases the toy.
That's exactly how it happened for us – almost. We entered the shop on our way out of the zoo, utterly exhausted. (My wife was only a week away from having our newest baby.) I walked ahead with the pram and our things so I could pack the car. My wife stuck her head out of the door three minutes later to inform me that Miss Four had suddenly become uncooperative. I returned to discover that my little one would not leave the shop without the overpriced giraffe.
Exhibit B
Several mornings ago, the kids asked whether they could take our dog for a quick walk before school. I agreed, confirming they would be back within 10 minutes, and went on with my morning. Ten minutes later they all came back in the door – except my four year old, who was nowhere to be seen. I asked the bigger kids where she was. Their reply: "She wouldn't come with us. She stayed by the kerb around the corner." (Fortunately this was only 50 metres away and we live in a quiet area.)
I raced to find my little girl and sure enough, there she was – sitting on the kerb, looking into the gutter. When I called to her and asked her to come home, she looked away from me, again focusing on the ground in front of her.
Whose agenda is it anyway?
In both of those scenarios, many parents would clearly state, "I want you to come with me now". Alternatively, they might start counting, "One, two, two and a half …", or they might simply pick up their resistant child and carry her home or to the car. I have watched it happen countless times. It is quick, efficient and it gets the job done.
But there are side effects to this strategy. When we force our children to go with our agenda, we invite tears, tantrums, resistance and chaos. It doesn't work well – at all.
There is a better way
In the zoo store, I sat on the ground next to my little girl. We talked about the giraffe. We patted its synthetic "fur". Then we looked at the other toys, as well as the dinosaur onesie, the lion backpack and the animal print drink bottles. We made the sounds and talked about how cool it would be to take them all home. Then I gently explained that we had enjoyed a big day and that today there was no more shopping – but I knew how much she wished we could buy the giraffe. After about five minutes of exploring every toy in the shop, we held hands and walked to the car.
At the kerbside, I sat with my daughter and noticed she was intrigued by a worm in the gutter. We watched it for a moment before I asked where the worm would be happiest. She told me worms belong in the garden so I picked up a leaf, scooped the worm onto it, and asked her to point to the place it should go. We put the worm down and watched it burrow into the dirt. After a minute or two I asked if she was ready to go home yet, to which she replied "yep", before smiling and walking around the corner and over to our driveway.
I said "Do it NOW!"
By taking one or two minutes to allow my daughter to explore her world and experience what fascinated her, she felt safe and secure. She felt understood. And she was entirely willing to work with me once I'd shown a willingness to work with her. As parents, we often make things harder for ourselves (and our children) by demanding that everything happen the way we want it to. This is ineffective – and often plain rude.
When we respect our child's agenda, they are more likely to respect ours.

This was a tough week for the team at Canadian Cloud Computing as we announced that we are suspending operation of our Trusted Canadian Cloud platform effective November 30, 2011. We will no longer be a cloud IaaS provider, but will instead become a cloud consulting company and re-seller of other cloud platforms in Canada.
We made this difficult decision for the simple reason that we were unable to fund the company.
We faced several challenges:
- Canadian angels are conservative, and for a variety of reasons we could not find one willing to fund us. US angels are uncomfortable investing in Canada and the latest economic troubles caused many to withdraw until the economy settles down.
- Canadian banks and finance companies have cut back their lending activities and raised requirements to the point where it is difficult for a start-up to arrange debt financing.
- Canadian businesses are more conservative than elsewhere in the world and the Canadian public cloud computing market is about two years behind the US.
We were actually selling well. As with any platform-based service provider, we needed a strategic investor to cover our early operating losses. Our business plan has a very attractive cash-flow-positive schedule.
That funding had proven tough to find.
We have benefited from the incredible teams at Communitech, the Accelerator Centre and The Hub. They opened many doors for us and mentored us as we built our company. Their support, and the support of the other start-ups around us, helped us get more done faster than we ever thought possible.
We accomplished a lot in our first year; building our cloud platform, arranging for the licensing and deployment of all the necessary software, launching commercial service and finally growing our customer base. We have an excellent team who put their hearts into the company.
However, without a clear view to sufficient funding to keep the company operating we were not prepared to aggressively load customers. We simply could not ask our customers to commit to us if we could not commit to them.
We are still bullish on cloud computing in Canada but it seems the public cloud computing market here will take at least another year to emerge.
Many prospective customers were more interested in deploying private clouds with a later growth to a hybrid solution, so that is the market that we will pursue. We have an excellent team with extensive technical, operational and business knowledge in cloud computing.
We are still going to offer the great architecture and deployment professional services that we did before, but instead of our own platform we will partner with other leading Canadian cloud platform providers to deliver a comprehensive cloud solution.
In start-up speak this is called a pivot. Our advisers tell us not to look at it as a failure, but as a learning experience. Personally, I hate "learning experiences".
Whatever you call it, we intend to get through it and be successful at our new plan.
Hopefully you will join us for the voyage.
Wally Kowal is the president and founder of Canadian Cloud Computing Inc.

Wow. it's been so long.
I had an issue with this
cp --preserve -R \
/{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,boot,etc,lib,opt, sbin,var} /mnt/bt/
In the notes. I changed it to
cp --preserve -R /{bin,dev,home,pentest,root,usr,boot,etc,lib,opt, sbin,var} /mnt/bt/
and it worked after that. Not sure what that extra SLASH is \
I felt like bending the bars back, and ripping out the window frames and eating them. yes, eating them! Leaping, leaping, leaping! Colonics for everyone! All right! You dumb*sses. I'm a mental patient. I'm *supposed* to act out!
I believe the \ is supposed to signify a line break. But yeah, it shouldn't be typed.
It's an iTard filter.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

For B2B marketers, June 30th can have a 'last day of school' feel about it. It's a chance to catch our breath after a full slate of Q1's kick-offs and launches and Q2's promotions, tradeshows and roadshows. But, like today's kids, who no longer while away the summer playing in the woods or frolicking in the pool, today's B2B marketers need to use the summer to improve: to build new skills, expand our horizons, and prepare for the new adventures that await us in the fall. Think of it as Marketing Summer Camp.
If I were the Activities Director at Camp B2B, I'd build a program of reflection, assessment, and improvement with a focus on::
People: Make learning a priority.
Pipeline: Take a hard look at marketing's contribution to the revenue pipeline.
Process: Identify your conversion weak spots and remediate.
Posted by Zachary Reiss-Davis on July 17, 2013
You can no longer segment your business customers into those who use social media for business purposes and those who do not. Why not? Because according to Forrester's newest B2B Social Technographics® numbers, fully 100% of business decision-makers use social media for work purposes. Other stunningly high numbers: 98% of business decision-makers are Spectators (they read blogs, watch videos, or listen to podcasts), 79% are Joiners (they maintain a profile on social networking sites), and 75% are Critics (they comment on blogs and post ratings and reviews), all in the context of their business activities.
Therefore, it's no longer a question of whether you should use social, but how. B2B marketing executives no longer need convincing to invest in social. However, social marketing efforts are maturing beyond experimentation — where measuring results is secondary — to science. At this more advanced stage of maturity, marketers need to understand exactly how and when their customers are using social and target them differently in each stage of the customer life cycle.
Your customers don't make blanket use of "social media," "social networks," or "communities" in general. Instead, they use specific social networks and communities for specific goals, both personal and business-related. The communities your customers visit for personal reasons are not always the ones they use for business purposes.
For business purposes, the No. 1 and No. 2 communities aren't specific public social networks but "niche" communities focused on specific objectives. For example, business technology buyers might visit IT Central Station or Spiceworks to learn more about multiple competing technologies at once; alternatively, they might visit a community managed by a single brand, such as the Cisco Communities or SAP Community Network (SCN).

Digital channels, online social activity, and mobile technology give business buyers unprecedented purchasing power. Just look around your next sales or customer meeting, count the number of smartphones and tablets, and see if you disagree.
To capture the attention of the perpetually-connected business buyer, we see B2B CMOs taking on significantly broader, and often unfamiliar, responsibilities. To learn exactly how top marketers respond to these new world challenges, Forrester teamed with the BMA to conduct a joint study about the pace of change, skills required, and degree of collaboration needed to deliver the always-on experiences business buyers now expect.
Kathy Button Bell, 2013-14 BMA Chair, and I presented the findings from this study of 117 marketing leaders during the BLAZE conference last May. I'm now following this presentation with a new report that takes a closer look at the evolving role of the B2B CMO -- a report that we would like to share with our friends at the BMA and with you. To get a complimentary copy, please visit this site to register for and download the report.
What did we find in the survey responses? That it's never been a better time to be a B2B marketer!

Billionaire Financier Soros Backs Mayoral Transition Project
George Soros, the wealthy hedge fund manager, is backing a "public engagement" effort focused on the next mayoral administration in New York. The project, called Talking Transition, is physically taking shape on a lot in lower Manhattan owned by Trinity Real Estate.
Soros, the founder of the Open Society Foundations, endorsed candidate Bill de Blasio for Mayor in August and has contributed the legal limit of $4,950 to his campaign. De Blasio is leading the race by a wide margin in opinion polls.
Laura Silber, director of public affairs for OSF, confirmed Soros' involvement in Talking Transition, and said nine other groups are partners, including the Ford Foundation. Silber said the effort is non-partisan. A de Blasio campaign spokesperson said the campaign is not involved in the project now taking shape downtown.
"We're very excited about giving New Yorkers the opportunity to lend their voice to the transition in an unprecedented way," Silber said, adding that more details would become available next week.
A Department of Buildings notice says Talking Transition has an event planned for Nov. 6, the day after Election Day.
On Thursday afternoon, about a dozen construction workers in hard hats and neon vests appeared to be assembling a raised floor on a gravel lot on Canal Street. The site also includes a large, transparent, house-like structure, resembling a temporary information kiosk. There are several stationary trucks, piles of electrical cable, and portable lavatories on the perimeter.
New York Magazine first reported on the "mysterious structure." A job listing obtained by the magazine, which has since been deleted from the web, says:
"Talking Transition will pioneer the first "open" transition in New York City. It will transform what is usually an insular, closed-door process between Election Day and Inauguration into an opportunity for broad public engagement. Thousands of New Yorkers will participate in public conversations about policy issues, ideas and questions that affect their communities. Over the course of two weeks, starting the day after Election Day, Talking Transition will create the space for these conversations, hosting live events in a highly accessible central "think tent," and reaching deep into neighborhoods in all five boroughs through a mobile, interactive digital engagement in the streets and online, and an event strategy delivered in partnership with the public library systems and neighborhood organizations."
Soros' relationship with de Blasio goes back to 2011, when Soros gave $400,000 to de Blasio's Coalition for Accountability in Political Spending, a group aimed at increasing transparency in political spending by corporations.
Talking Transition is building something on the lot on Canal Street, but workers won't say what it is.
Additional reporting from Andrea Bernstein and Anna Sale.
Clarification: an earlier version of this story did not include confirmation from OSF of its involvement in Talking Transition.

"Press for champagne service." I want one of these little black buzzers next to my bed, please. There is something so very comforting, in these Dickensian hard times, about the idea of simply pressing a button and having a lad wheel up a trolley of Champagne's finest. This is just one of the endearing little touches at Bob Bob Ricard, the eclectic, ebullient new funked-up brasserie in Soho.
Others include opening non-stop from 7am to 3am; putting on a something-for-everyone menu that runs from an all-day breakfast to afternoon tea to caviar and blinis to lobster thermidor to a burger with the works; placing a power point next to the champagne buzzer so you can plug in your own, personal toaster; monogramming the butter; dressing the female waiters in blue waistcoats and the males in pink; and creating special tables for one, so that lone diners don't have to sit opposite an empty chair.
And all this in a fine corner site just off Golden Square, rescued from the drunken hordes of what was Circus, and now a fabulously hospitable room with row upon row of cosy booths, and lashings of marble, brass and leather that recall the long-gone days of Edwardian rail travel. Owners Leonid Shutov and Richard Howarth are fans of The Wolseley, so restaurant resuscitator David Collins was called upon to design the whole shebang with his usual intelligent mix of common sense, luxury and grace. This time, he seems to have had a bit of fun as well.
Overlooking the eccentric corn flakes-to-caviar menu is the former Pont de la Tour head chef James Walker, who makes a fair fist of it. A dish of gentle curds of golden scrambled eggs served with furls of satiny smoked salmon, from the excellent London smokehouse H Forman & Son (£12.50), makes a fine lunch, with hot toast straight from the gleaming Kenwood. A Cornish fish soup (£8.50) is a full-bodied starter served with good accessories, as is a cute little preserving jar of potted Middle White pork belly (£8.50) served with a little pot of tangy perry jelly and wisps of Melba toast.
More grown-up dishes, such as a good-sized slab of precisely cooked wild halibut on a bed of wild mushrooms (£19) are simply designed and generous, whereas the so-called comfort dishes – optimistically called "BBR Favourites" – seem slapped together. A BBR chicken curry (£14.75), with its retro garnish of banana, is pale, creamy and very "What-shall-we-do-with-the-leftovers?" and an Elwy Valley shepherd's pie (£14.50) is all potato, with a thin layer of tired lamb beneath. This may well be what true Brits require from their boarding-school fodder, but I find it anything but comforting.
Service under Jean Francois and Caroline Valerio, filched from The Ivy, is keen, capable and willing, and the solid wine list, which includes half a dozen English offerings, tries hard to cater for all tastes and all pockets. Wine glasses are small, coffee (Monmouth) is superb, and the house cocktail is a dreamy White Ladyish rhubarb "gin and tonic".
It is possible there are Too Many Ideas. When I press the champagne button, the little light stays on for 45 minutes, until a waiter finally notices. The beautifully detailed downstairs bar opened briefly, then closed to have a rethink.

Denise Hatcher, Associate Professor of Spanish, is making a case for how learning a second language is linked to┬Ā being a better learner. She recently shared her thoughts with colleagues during the Aurora University Faculty Teaching and Research Symposium.
ŌĆ£I know that everyone didnŌĆÖt have a positive experience learning a second language, and so I wanted to inform my colleagues how second language teaching has changed,ŌĆØ said Hatcher.
ŌĆ£I think all teachers can benefit from ŌĆśreframing,ŌĆÖ an idea described by author Dave Burgess in which students form new opinions about subject matter. Reframing helps break down the negative associations that people might have with different subjects.ŌĆØ
Hatcher explained that her teaching methods help to reframe how some people may perceive learning a second language. She shared that in addition to courses that focused on teaching language, the AU Spanish curriculum includes studying culture, interpersonal skills and metacognitive strategies.
ŌĆ£One of the reasons I became a second language teacher is because of the variety of learning experiences I had in my own second language classrooms as a student,ŌĆØ said Hatcher. ŌĆ£Most second language classrooms are not lecture-based since they involve vocabulary and vocabulary building skills as well as grammar and culture. I believe it is important that students are active participants in their own learning, and so I do activities such as having students stand up to ŌĆśearn their seatsŌĆÖ by completing such tasks as translating a vocabulary word orally and then writing it on the board before sitting.
ŌĆ£I think some of the activities in Spanish class can help develop better students,ŌĆØ said Hatcher. ŌĆ£One thing I do is teach students to learn how they best learnŌĆöfor example, how do they learn vocabulary? I encourage them to be creative and make flashcards, lists, draw pictures, write definitions and sentences, and use computer aids. Many second language learning teaching techniques are shared by English as a second language and bilingual education teachers as well because all of these educators are trying to complete the same task: teach reading, writing, speaking and listening language skills.ŌĆØ
Hatcher added that there is an understanding among her colleagues that learning Spanish is a wonderful way for AU students to set themselves apart when they begin to look for jobs. This past fall two of her Spanish students were offered jobs before they had even completed their student teaching. Both students credited Spanish with making the difference.

I keep most of my guns in a safe in which I used to use an internal de-humidifier ( low-heat rod ). I found that one of my leather handled knifes forcefully came apart due to the dryness and was worried about the gunstocks, so I unplugged that. Now I have an external electric de-humidfier ( floor mount type from Home Depot ) I'm not sure what relative humidity to set it at and wondered if anyone has a clue?
It's damp this time of year and it shows the room air to be at 67% relative humidity. I was thinking 50% or lower??
Thanks for any help..:confused:

text: I will be student teaching next semester. I am an instrumental music education major. I am meeting for an interview with my cooperating teacher tomorrow. Yesterday, he e-mailed me to let me know that he expected to see my Resume/Portfolio/CV. My Band Methods teacher has not gotten around to covering those items yet, and was surprised that my cooperating teacher would want to see them. I have my resume done, so I am not worried about that. However, I have no clue what a music education student, with no real experience in the field aside from within college (section leader in University marching band, Uniforms Manager/Librarian for one year, things like that) would put on a CV. Basically, what would a cooperating teacher expect to see on a CV from a college student?? I have NO IDEA what to do for the CV at all, and while my methods teacher gave me ideas for the portfolio she ignored everything about the vitae and has not answered my subsequent e-mail yet. I have the basic materials for assembling my portfolio. I have very little money in my account, as I did not budget for this. I will have some tomorrow, but do not know if I will have time. I ran out and bought a very cheap, plastic, black portfolio to put it in - this one. I have no idea how to organize it. I wanted plastic sleeves but honestly don't have enough to buy them right now. Should I have a table of contents? Should my resume and vitae be in the portfolio?? Thanks for any help. I feel totally overwhelmed with this.

Planners told to okay project without report on remains
The government has advised the Town Planning Board to approve two new buildings at the Central Police Station compound even though the sites could contain historic remains.
The Planning Department, in a paper prepared for a meeting of the board today, says it has 'no objection' to the Jockey Club building two new wings at the heritage site on Hollywood Road.
The buildings, to house an art gallery, restaurants, public viewing area and plant facilities, are to be built on the existing general office and laundry block of Victoria Prison.
The two sites are among eight identified in January by an environmental impact assessment as having archaeological potential. Where the office stood had once been a workshed for the governor's house, stables, cookhouses and coolies' quarters, and the assessment said traces of the past could possibly be found.
After receiving the assessment report, the club instituted an archaeological investigation of the eight sites by a consultant, whose report is yet to be finalised. Few details have been released, except for a photo of one of the surveyed spots showing foundations of a police station toilet.
The Planning Department decided not to wait for the archaeological report and advised board members to approve the project. The department said the club had informed it that preliminary findings indicated there were unlikely to be any antiquities under the planned buildings.
'In the event that archaeological materials are found during the removal of the existing buildings or subsequent archaeological monitoring during excavation, appropriate mitigation measures will be recommended,' it said.
'It is suggested to advise the applicant that a fresh application would be required for the proposed new development should there be any significant architectural features and artefacts discovered necessitating major changes to the current scheme.'
But such a requirement is only listed as an 'advisory clause', rather than a binding 'approval condition'.
Approval for the project has already been questioned because the director of environmental protection issued a work permit without waiting for the archaeological report. A committee vetting the impact report was also found not to have met to discuss the report. Members only dealt with it 'by circulation'.
The Central and Western Concern Group wrote to the board yesterday asking it to defer the meeting. 'We believe the board should only consider the scheme after the Jockey Club releases the archaeological report and comprehensive mitigation measures... They must be submitted for public comment and discussion by relevant... bodies,' convenor Katty Law Ngar-ning said.

Movie Review
God and Satan have placed a bet for the souls of all mankind. Restricting themselves from any direct involvement with humans, they may only "influence" through the use of so-called half-breeds—demons or angels who are somehow part human and walk the earth in human form.
John Constantine was born with the ability to see these creatures for what they are. As a young man, it drove him to madness and suicide, for which he was sent immediately to hell—a real place of fire and torment that exists in a dimension parallel to ours. Then he was resuscitated and returned to our world.
He now lives as a chain-smoking, hard-drinking, exorcism-performing antihero, desperately sending rule-breaking half-breeds back to hell in hopes of earning a pass to heaven. But the foul-mouthed, androgynous angel Gabriel tells him his quest for salvation is hopeless, in part, because he has never done one selfless act. Oh, and he has terminal lung cancer, so the clock is ticking.
Suddenly, against the rules, actual demons are starting to break into our plane of existence. And their actions are somehow tied to the mysterious suicide of detective Angela Dodson's twin sister. Together, John and Angela must find a way to stop the apocalypse.
Positive Elements
Although the film's supernatural worldview is warped, the main characters do eventually come to the conclusion that God is more than, as John implies early on, just a "kid with an ant farm." Instead, He seems to have a plan for the world and the people in it. Faith in God is shown to be positive, though sometimes difficult. And Satan is presented as a real, malevolent force in opposition to God and man. (Angela tells John she doesn't believe in the devil, prompting him to say, "You should. He believes in you.") Several characters risk and/or sacrifice their lives for the good of others.
Spiritual Content
At face value, Constantine's supernatural worldview seems to be similar to the truth set out in the Bible. (There is a heavy emphasis on Catholic icons and symbolism.) But heavy distortions quickly knock it off-kilter. God is said to be powerful, but self-limited by a wager with Satan. He and His angels are restricted to heaven. Satan and his demons are restricted to hell.
At one point, when John is being taken to glory, Satan drags him back. This moment and others leave the audience wondering who is in charge. So what of Christ? He's mostly a non-issue, and His divinity is swept under the rug. The "spear of destiny" is said to be the cause of Jesus' death, not the crucifixion. (It's neither; He gave up His spirit as a victor, not a victim and was dead before the soldier pierced His side.) Such errors are throughout.
Also, it is unclear how far God's grace extends and to whom. Suicide is presented as a mortal sin, dooming the offender to hell. However, John seems to be given hope that, if he would both ask for forgiveness and do an unselfish act, he'd have a shot at heaven.
In addition to confrontations with a recently fallen angel, a demonic half-breed and several full demons, John visits hell, giving us an extended view of its demon-infested and fiery landscape. He (rightly) says, "Take it from me, two minutes in hell is a lifetime." (We also see the briefest glimpse of heaven's clouds and light.) John has a long conversation with Satan. And in dispatching a demon, John invokes the Trinity. Elsewhere, he visits an old friend who used to be a witchdoctor into voodoo (he runs a club for half-breeds, staying neutral on spiritual warfare).
Hell has its own version of the Bible, different from God's inerrant word ("Corinthians" goes to chapter 21). Satan's son attempts to enter our world through the body of a psychic, aided by the traitorous angel Gabriel who wishes to unleash a "purifying wrath" on humanity. John's protégé, Chaz, avidly reads books about religion, the occult, witchcraft, etc. An alcoholic priest wields a supernatural ability for gathering information.
Sexual Content
We see a passing shot of a provocatively dressed couple making out in a bar. Extended shots of Angela reveal her bra.
Violent Content
A woman kills herself by jumping from a building, and we see several shots of her dead body (once in a morgue). A possessed man is absolutely drilled by a car, but walks away unharmed. John fights with a demon that possesses a little girl and battles a demon with a body made of bugs and snakes. That same demon leaves a human dead and covered in insects.
A Catholic priest cuts himself repeatedly with a corkscrew. John uses holy water to burn the flesh off of demonic half-breeds (to disgusting effect), and a cross-shaped gun to blow them to pieces. Angela is forcefully sucked through walls, possessed by a demon, and found to be impregnated with the spawn of Satan (it fights to break out of her abdomen). John slits his own wrists, resulting in lots of blood.
Water is the "universal conduit" between dimensions. So, to gain her "temporary" access to hell, John drowns Angela in a bathtub, somehow knowing just when and how to pull her back into this realm. It's near-death tampering on the level of Flatliners that could inspire spiritually confused searchers to try something dangerous.
Crude or Profane Language
We hear one use of the f-word (from the angel Gabriel, no less), along with a half-dozen or so uses each of the s-word and "a--hole." (Other profanity includes "b--ch," "d--n" and "pr--k.") Most egregious, especially in a film dealing with religious themes, are a "g--d--n" and four abuses of Christ's name.
Drug and Alcohol Content
Cigarettes and alcohol are abused heavily, both with dire consequences. John is dying of lung cancer from a smoking habit (it's frequently condemned; the Surgeon General's warning on his pack of cigarettes fills the screen at one point). John also drinks a lot, as does a Catholic priest who eventually dies, in part, from his addiction.
Other Negative Elements
John coughs up blood repeatedly due to his lung cancer. He also gives the finger twice, once to Satan.
Constantine is a slick, tightly written, but grotesque and deceptive horror flick. Based on the long-running DC Comics Hellblazer series, it creates its supernatural world from traditionally Protestant and Catholic views of God, angels, demons, Satan, heaven and especially hell. Then it rearranges the pieces, filters them through a lens of superstition and tosses in aspects of the occult to arrive at a misshapen view of God and other spiritual beings.
What kind of God makes a wager with the devil for human souls? Certainly, a weaker, less caring God than the one presented in the Bible who has already paid the price for those souls with the blood of His Son.
And what does it take to get into heaven? Contantine's answers are muddy and misleading. The angel Gabriel states that all who take their own lives are doomed to hell, but also speaks of God's mercy to unworthy humans who trust in Him. We're repeatedly told that John cannot buy his way into heaven with good works, but that he must believe in God, ask for absolution and commit at least one truly unselfish act���which sounds a lot like doing a good work.
You don't expect a secular horror movie to spell out the plan of salvation, especially one so full of violence and gore. But when a story firmly embraces the realities of hell and heaven—and talks openly about the requirements for salvation—the results of misrepresenting the truth can be devastating. And that kind of deception and confusion is the hallmark of our real spiritual enemies.
Keanu Reeves thinks we miss the point if we focus too fervently on the movie's mythology of supernatural good and evil. He sees Constantine, instead, as "secular religiosity." "I was hoping that these concepts could become a platform that are humanistic," he told a group of religious press. "It's more flesh and blood somehow than spiritual." The Apostle Paul disagreed. (See Ephesians 6:12.)
Indeed, Constantine's greatest deceit might rest in turning those evil spiritual forces into human-faced monsters that can be blown to hell with a little Latin, some holy water and a cross-shaped shotgun.

HS TRACK AND FIELD: Saltsburg's Moore is unliklely district champion
ALTOONA — The instant the shot put left her hand, Corrine Moore knew she had unleashed one of the better throws of her young career. She just couldn't have imagined it would bring her a district title.
The Saltsburg sophomore uncorked a throw of 33 feet, 1ᄑ inches, to surprise herself as much as the rest of the field and was crowned the shot put champion at the District 6 Class AA Championships at Mansion Park on Tuesday.
Moore and Penns Manor junior Sarah DaBella won district titles to highlight the local competitors, and in all, eight area girls and two relay teams qualified for the PIAA Championships.
"I just felt like I exploded (through my throwing motion) better, and it was just a better throw," Moore said. "I could just tell it was good."
Still very much a newcomer to the shot put in her first month of throwing it, Moore entered the meet seeded 11th in the 15-thrower field.
Her season-best throw entering the meet was 30-11, and admittedly, Moore said she didn't even expect to finish in the top five.
That's what made her win was one of the biggest surprises of the meet.
"It's crazy. I wasn't expecting to do this well," she said, still surprised hours after winning the title. "This came as a really big surprise."
Meanwhile, DaBella entered the meet as the top seed in the discus with one goal in mind: qualify for the state meet, which didn't necessarily require winning an event. The top three finishers in every event qualify, and any competitors outside the top three who meet the state-qualifying standard.
"My coach said we were coming here with one goal, and it's get to the next level," a beaming DaBella said. "But winning it is even better than what I expected it to be."
She won with a throw of 109-8 to punch her first ticket to Shippensburg as a competitor.
"I'm excited more than anything because I've been to the state track meet with my family," DaBella said. "Having seen the atmosphere, it's going to be so much fun to throw. I'm excited to go."
Other local girls who claimed top-three finishes and qualified for the PIAA meet were: United's Kennedy Fletcher, who posted a pair of second-place finishes in the discus (107-7) and the javelin (109-10); Homer-Center's Heather Paynter, who also posted two second-place finishes in the 1,600- (5:24.90) and 3,200-meter (11:54.68) runs; Penns Manor's Jennifer Knezovich, who took second in the triple jump (35-3ᄑ), and Devon Bratton, who was third in the pole vault 9-0; and Marion Center's Camber Heinle in the 400-meter dash (1:00.75).
Marion Center's Hannah Fulton finished fourth in the 1,600 (5:30.40) and initially didn't qualify for the state meet. But when district champion Alyssa Brandis from Central Cambria withdrew from the PIAA meet in that event to focus on winning the state title in 3,200, Fulton earned a spot at states for the second straight year.
Also returning for a second straight year, but for the first time in individual events is Paynter, one of two area girls to qualify in two individual events.
A sophomore shouldered with the task of following in Angel Piccirillo's footsteps, she took second in both of the long-distance races. Last season, she was part of Homer-Center's state-qualifying 1,600 relay team.
"I'm excited for it, second year back," the petite Paynter said. "It's really big and exciting for me. I'm hoping to go there and get a medal. Always go for gold. I'm going to give it all I've got."
Heinle is a newcomer to District 6, having transferred into the Marion Center School District prior to the start of the current school year, but the senior made most of her lone appearance at the district meet. She qualified in one individual event and will run on Marion Center's 3,200 relay at states. Along with Heinle, the relay includes Danielle Fulmer, Taylor Woodrow and Fulton.
"This is kind of my first official year in track so it's exciting to be able to do something like that," Heinle said.
She came tantalizingly close to the school record in taking third place in the 400 with a time of 1:00.75 seconds, less than a blink of an eye from the record of 1:00.48.
"Oh yeah, that's on my mind," she said with a smile. "It's just, ahhh, tenths of a second away. It's hard. But I'm hoping to break 60 (seconds) at states, maybe."
Heinle transferred from Elderton following the closing of the school last summer, the second closing in the past five years. During her time at Elderton, Heinle never got to experience a complete track and field season because the school didn't have a team.
"We didn't have a track team but we were allowed to run at Ford City if we had a coach or some adult there with us to supervise us," she explained. "So me and another girl ran, and we really only went to two meets. We weren't really in the program. … I did softball and track, and I was more (geared) towards softball than track."
"This is awesome," she continued. "I have amazing coaches. And my teammates, you couldn't find a better team. Everybody is there for each other, and that's what pushed us through the relay. We ran for each other."
Ligonier Valley's 1,600 relay team consisting of Jasmine Connor, Miranda Campbell, Madi McLaughlin and Stephanie Heming was the other area team to qualify with a second-place finish.
The Rams' quartet came on strong at the end of the season to peak at the perfect time. All four girls on the relay will be making their first appearance at the state meet.
"It's pretty exciting and completely unexpected, said Campbell, the only senior on the relay team. "We've been dropping time like crazy recently. We were hoping to break our school record today, which we didn't quite get, but we're going to states, so that's exciting. We're hoping to at least break the school record at states, if not go further."
