You get what you pay for. Mine worked for a couple weeks. Now no matter what I do, I can't get it to throttle enough to get off the ground. If you search, this is common, and no solution has been provided by Walkera, which has horrible customer service. Stay Away!!! You've been warned!!)

I wonder who is in charge of these categories. Interesting that 4a is most active. I am a 4a.
I've been a member for 5 years and lurked for a while before I joined. The boards go through "cycles," but overall the 4a forum gets the most traffic. And it's not from all 4a hair types. I know I followed it my first few years, it's how I found out about a lot of products and techniques. I always felt that the 4a's, etc., knew the most about taking care of curly hair.
There's a new CurlTalk administrator
I'd think that she's the one who is "in charge."
There are folks that think there should be lots of forums based on every little detail known about hair and others who think it should be more general. Questions on many of the forums rarely get answered, or a lot of traffic and people end up double and triple posting to get answers. I've gotten to the point that I rarely answer in forums that don't have my hair attributes, I figure out that people who ask a question there aren't looking for an answer from someone who doesn't have that particular attribute.

You might call it a case of good intentions gone awry — too many good intentions, in fact, all aimed at one class of liquid fuels. Harvard Kennedy School Professor Robert Lawrence, a trade economist, does not normally delve into energy technology matters, but he was fascinated, nevertheless, by the recent boom in biofuels, a form of so-called alternative energy upon which a variety of constituents, for a variety of reasons, have pinned their hopes. Lawrence, however, sees the U.S. government's support of the biofuels industry in another light: as a textbook example of ill-conceived policy.
Fuels derived from agricultural crops and by-products have become big business in this country, Lawrence says, thanks to federal programs. Government-set mandates and blending quotas have created a growing demand for biofuels. Global production of ethanol tripled from 2000 to 2007. In just a single year, from 2007 to 2008, the percentage of ethanol mixed into gasoline grew worldwide, from 3.78 to 5.46 percent.
The United States is currently the world's largest producer of ethanol, the world's most common biofuel.
The main problem, from an energy policy perspective, is that these fuels are being promoted domestically without a clear rationale, Lawrence maintains. Proponents commonly cite three attributes: a reduced carbon footprint, a reduced dependence on foreign oil, and a boon to American farmers. Yet Lawrence believes that biofuels don't deliver on any of these objectives. "It's just a fundamental principle that you want to target your goals as precisely as possible," he says. "Economists have long known that if you have three goals, you need three separate instruments in order to meet them efficaciously."
Trying to kill three birds with this one stone — to invoke a metaphor that Lawrence finds unsavory — cannot work because biofuels are not the optimal instrument for satisfying any of the stated goals, let alone all three. "If you want people to limit emissions of carbon dioxide, then tax carbon dioxide," he says. "That's precise." Growing and fermenting corn to produce biofuels is a much more circuitous way of addressing climate concerns. Moreover, the process is extremely energy-intensive: It takes energy to produce fertilizer, drive tractors, clear fields, grow crops, collect crops, and process them. "At the end of the day, the energy advantages turn out to be rather small," Lawrence says. "And maybe you don't gain anything."
Corn ethanol, according to this analysis, will do little to curtail greenhouse gases, nor will it do much to advance the cause of energy independence. If the federal government wants to help the family farmer, Lawrence says, it should simply give money to struggling farmers — through tax relief, grants, or some other form — rather than prop up an industry predominantly run by large agribusiness corporations.
Lawrence is not opposed to biofuel per se, and even advocates research and development in this area. "Having the know-how is socially valuable," he says. "That's where the government should spend its money, trying to encourage technological breakthroughs rather than establishing a vast program to implement one technology in particular."
But at this point, things have progressed well beyond the R&D stage. Biofuels are politically popular, having achieved broad, bipartisan support, because they seem to offer something for everyone, whether one is concerned with the environment, national security, or the plight of the American farmer. Perhaps they're appealing in large part because no one knows the cost of the government's requirement that a certain (and growing) portion of biofuels be blended into gasoline. Concealing the costs of a policy may be politically advantageous, but it rarely leads to the best strategy.
It's far better to be explicit about our goals and transparent about the costs of achieving them, Lawrence says. "That's how you'd do it if you were rational. Unfortunately, our political system encourages just the opposite: ambiguity and obfuscation." Which accounts for how biofuels have risen so far — with little proven benefit.

The Bearcats scored the most points in the Mick Cronin era Tuesday in a 102-60 victory against Mississippi Valley State, but the most encouraging aspect wasn't tripping 100, rather who pushed the score that high.
[Also: Bearcats beginning to find their pace]
By Joe Gryniewski/Special to GoBearcats.com
As the UC Bearcats approached 100 points Tuesday night, the bench, filled with starters Mick Cronin began pulling midway through the second half, was riled up as ever. Justin Jackson was cheering on his teammates as Sean Kilpatrick and Cashmere Wright waved towels over their heads while jumping around.
On the verge of scoring what would be the most points since Dec. 30, 2005, and with the high-flying plays taking place, one might assume the excitement from the bench stemmed from the drive to score 100.
Not quite. Instead, the celebration came from a theme that's grown inside this Bearcats team.
After last year, the Bearcats expected to be good, but a year later they simply aren't satisfied with being just a good team. The scores no longer seem to concern the players as their focus turned from trying to be a good basketball team to learning how to become a great one.
The difference between good, great and elite with this year's team begins with the play of their reserves. Tuesday's wild bench scene was a celebration of that progress.
"We were more so happy that they were making the right plays," Sean Kilpatrick said about the team topping 100 points. "We don't quite worry about the score, we are just worried about our players becoming more developed against other teams.
"They are starters as well. If they don't play to the level they are capable of then it can hurt us in the end. They need to expect that we are going to be looking for them to be playing just as well as we are."
They certainly played well. Jeremiah Davis led the bench with nine points while Jermaine Sanders and David Nyarsuk each had eight. The stat line of the night came from first off the bench and the guy playing through sickness Tuesday, Titus Rubles. He finished with eight points, seven rebounds, five assists, two blocks and zero turnovers.
"We have a style and a system that we have been building since last spring to have a great team this year, and our guys know depth is an issue," said Mick Cronin, "It hurt us in the Ohio State game and it hurt us in the Big East Championship Game. Our veteran guys understand you are going to have to have quality play off of the bench if you are going to be an elite team."
While scoring 100 points is fun, and the behind-the-back passes and ally-oops are cool, Cronin says, "They don't pay me for cool; I'm here to win games."
The idea is quickly spreading from the veterans of the team down to the bench. You no longer hear them talking about plays and individual efforts. Their focus is set on the big picture.
With 45 points from Tuesday night's 102-point scoring effort coming off the bench, the Bearcats are showing that they have heard the message. The new. uptempo offense has caused some turnovers and mental errors at times, but it has also lit a spark under the team, and more importantly, the bench.
The Bearcats understand that it's time to take that next step and become an elite team, and after Tuesday's game, it was clear the coach and his team are focused on getting that done. In fact, Cronin expected to crack triple digits.
"I told them we should," he said. "If we execute and our mental state is focused for 40 minutes with our talent we should."

We're all about casual entertaining this time of year — and that means fresh ingredients, good company and minimal time in front of the stove. Invite friends over for an elegant dinner party that takes almost no time to prep, making good use of summer produce and quick-cooking techniques. Our recipes and tips will show you how to pull it off.
Make the centerpiece of your meal a foolproof favorite: filet mignon. Our version is seared in a hot pan for just 10 minutes to form a beautiful crust, then topped with a bright herb-shallot butter for extra color and flavor.
On the side, combine two of summer's best ingredients in this warm corn, tomato and arugula salad, which is as colorful as it is simple. Add fingerling potatoes tossed with pesto for something a little hearty.
Finish the meal with a plum crumble — it's delicious and impressive, but can be thrown together in minutes. Let it bake while you enjoy the main course, and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- 1 to 2 hours ahead: Prep the fruit filling and the topping for your dessert, but keep them separate. Prep the ingredients for the salad and potatoes. If you're making your own pesto, do it now. Make the herb butter and refrigerate.
- 30 minutes ahead: Assemble the crumble. Bring your meat and herb butter to room temperature.
- Just before serving: Cook the potatoes and toss with pesto. Saute and finish the salad. Sear the steaks and serve. As you sit down, put the crumble in the oven to bake.

The gloom is spreading from investment banks' battered equity divisions to their debt operations. Figures maintained by one top City bank show European-wide bond issuance by financial institutions has slumped £6bn from a year ago. Issuance by non-financial companies is well below the £40bn forecast.
'A lot of people are expecting further cutbacks after first-quarter results,' said a source. 'Everyone was expecting a huge pipeline because of the lack of issuance at the end of last year. It hasn't happened.'
Last week, idle dealers kept themselves occupied watching the bizarre auction of Enron Europe's office furniture online. It is the Enron fallout and deepening telecoms slump which have hammered confidence hardest. Debt downgrades are running at record levels, making it much harder for companies to borrow.
Investment bank CSFB is looking at slashing costs worldwide. Adebayo Ogunlesi, the new head of investment banking, warned staff last week that cuts would be 'swift and severe'. Group chief executive John Mack, known as 'Mack the Knife,' laid off 760 staff - or 20% - around the world last autumn.
Rumours are swirling that rival firm Goldman Sachs will begin cutting a further 2,000 staff as early as this week, with more lay-offs coming in the spring if business does not pick up. The equity divisions are likely to face the brunt of cuts.
Some suggest the only thing which may save equity divisions will be handling the huge rights issues expected from companies weighed down by huge debts.

Despite Wariness, Outsourcing Pays Off for Universities
Indianapolis — Colleges have moved far beyond hiring private companies just to run their dining services or manage the campus bookstore. In June 2012, for example, Ohio State University signed a $483-million deal to lease its parking facilities to an Australian company for 50 years.
Although there was an outcry from some faculty members, the money added about 20 percent to the value of Ohio State's endowment, said Michael Papadakis, the university's vice president for financial services. Mr. Papadakis spoke on Sunday in a session here at the annual meeting of the National Association of College and University Business Officers. With the extra cash, the university set aside more than $150-million to improve its environmental sustainability and $83-million for student scholarships.
Ohio State is one of the latest examples of colleges looking beyond traditional revenue sources as uncertainty continues about the future of state and federal dollars. And while government money is hard to come by, there is more than $250-billion in private dollars to be invested, said Charlene Butterfield Janey, director in the public-finance group at the Standard & Poor's bond-ratings agency.
The University of South Florida earns $100-million annually through agreements with companies that manage its sports arenas and many other auxiliary arrangements, said Fell Stubbs, university treasurer.
North Carolina State University's endowment, which is being managed by an outside nonprofit company, is earning more in the market than are endowments at most universities, said Mary Peloquin-Dodd, treasurer and associate vice chancellor for finance and business at the university.
But outsourcing also brought some risks at North Carolina State. The company it hired was at its nearby rival, the University of North Carolina. The move made some at the institution uncomfortable because the university was giving up control of its investments to an institution that had different goals and a more conservative investment strategy, Ms. Peloquin-Dodd said.
But so far, the arrangement has worked well, she added. Returns on N.C. State's endowment suffered less during the recession and have performed better than most universities' endowments in recent years.
Update (7/15/2013, 4:35 p.m.): This article originally stated that the University of South Florida earned "many millions" from outsourcing its sports arenas and other auxiliary contracts. That has been updated to a more exact amount: $100-million annually.Return to Top

Last Night: They All Have It Infamy
Senator Lorraine Higgins and Pat Rabbitte TD
Further to Labour Senator Lorraine Higgins' controversial proposed bill to combat
criticism cyberbullying.
Former Labour communications minister Pat Rabbitte has published his own bill , The Public Electronic Communications Networks (Improper Use) Act 2015, which proposes:
"On convicting a person for an offence [sending 'grossly offensive' messages], the court may, in addition to any other penalty imposed for the offence, order any apparatus, equipment or other thing used in the course of committing the offence to be forfeited to the State."
That's your tablet that is.
Mark Malone writes:
… imagine you send a tweet sugggesting Pat Rabbitte was a bit of a hypocrite condemning political organisations with links to paramilitaries who murdered people, given his own political history. Granted that might be hard to fit into 140 characters, but imagine it was possible for the sake of an example.
And say Pat Rabbitte was a litigious sort of character who didn't want to be publicly associated with any of the murders, bank robberies or lots of stuff the Official IRA was involved in when he was member of the Workers Party, the political wing of the OIRA.
I guess you'd be into a couple of tweets now, something that might be construed by Rabbitte and his expensive legal team and barristers as "persistent and without legitimate cause".
It probably might not matter that you feel it important to public discourse that many younger people ought know that that a former minister – responsible for promoting austerity and a gagging law – was once a member of a politico-paramilitary organisation that murdered people.
You might even infer that the Stalinist tendencies embodied in WP/OIRA back in the day could be found in a bill that seeks to quash public online political dissent today by actually making it illegal to be a political nuisance.
So you are taken to court and found guilty. Say your day job was a graphic designer, or architect or any other job that requires a laptop and/or mobile phone and access to the net. Your ability to earn a wage (or get donations) relies on these things. Rabbitte's bill allows for a judge to remove that wage earning ability by seizing the tools of your trade….

Labour Senator John Whelan
Labour Senator John Whelan was a contributor on RTÉ's Late Debate, presented by Cormac O'hEadhra, on November 5.
During the interview, there was this exchange:
John Whelan: "I believe the contract should have been awarded, the record will show, to Bord na Móna. I believe that Bord Gáis, and this is why the Government has gone in, Alan Kelly has gone in and stripped it back, the board has to be reconfigured, reconstituted and…interrupted."
Cormac O'hEadhra: "Wait now, this is very serious John. What you're saying this evening, surely, does that not render the validity of the Bill, the Act all null and void?"
Whelan: "No, what I'm saying is this. Bord Gáis through the process of New Era and the line minister at the time made a pitch to establish Irish Water and I believe they did so under false pretences and they haven't delivered."
On November 14, Anthony Sheridan, of the blog Public Inquiry, noted that Senator Whelan's relevant remarks were removed from RTÉ's radio playback service.
Yesterday, the Irish Times reported on RTÉ's decision to remove the remarks, quoting an RTÉ spokeswoman saying: "The comment on The Late Debate was removed from playback following an internal editorial decision. This can happen on occasion with a live programme."
It also reported Senator Whelan, a journalist, saying: "I said what I said in the knowledge of the full import of what I was saying and I did not need the privilege of the House to do so… There was no libel and no slander. It was fair comment on a matter in the public interest."
However, this morning, Mr Sheridan writes:
"I see the Irish Times took up my story surrounding the dramatic revelation by Labour Senator John Wilson that Bord Gais had made their pitch to establish Irish Water under false pretences."
"Bizarrely, however, the Irish Times took the same line as RTE and, effectively, censored the principal allegation made by Senator Whelan."
"Here's the exact charge made by the Senator against Bord Gáis:"
"No, what I'm saying is this. Bord Gáis through the process of New Era and the line minister at the time made a pitch to establish Irish Water and I believe they did so under false pretences and they haven't delivered."
"Here's how the Irish Times reported his allegations:"
"No, what I'm saying is this: Bord Gáis through the process of New Era and the line minister at the time made a pitch to establish Irish Water . . . and they haven't delivered."
"Leaving out the words; 'under false pretences' strips the report of any relevance, it effectively kills the story."
"So much for the 'paper of record'."

Irish Times censors RTE censored programme (Anthony Sheridan, Public Inquiry)
[Bono at the World irish hoo ha in Dublin Castle, 2012]
Like us.
You may have missed this…
"One must ask whether the problem is the law or the self-censorship of RTE. I believe it is the latter and that if RTE had taken a challenge in the courts I do not think the people claiming the offence would have won their court action. Most reasonable people would take such a view also. The reason RTE responded is that it was bending the knee to those with deep pockets, which is all too prevalent in the media and it is something we must examine. Six or seven months ago I was asked to participate in a BBC 4 radio programme on Bono. The BBC is broadcasting the programme this week. The reason it has taken so long is that in the past seven months the BBC has been subjected to enormous pressure from Bono's legal representatives, to the point that RTE would not even hand over footage of an interview Bono had done with it to the BBC, which normally would be done, due to the fear of litigation and tight control by U2 and Bono in monitoring what opinions went out about them. A similar approach was evident with the penalty points saga where we were aware that media outlets were pressurised by members of the Judiciary who feared they would be named in the print media as having had their penalty points cancelled and information was not put in the public domain as a result."

Probably has a better chance of making it to production than the wonderful Bug Memorials concept by the same company.

Yo Yo Honey Singh New Song 2014? 'Dope Shope' Singer, Salman Khan to Collaborate in New Movie After Being Replaced in Shahrukh Khan's Temptation Reloaded Malaysia Concert?
Yo Yo Honey Singh has become one of the most popular artists in the Bollywood industry that actors love to partner up with for song collaborations. After teaming up with Shahrukh Khan in "Chennai Express" to feature in the hit song "Lungi Dance," the "Dope Shope" singer is now partnering up with Salman Khan for an upcoming movie.
Hindustan Times reported that Singh is in talks with the "Dabangg" actor to work on a project for his next film.
"Honey and Salman recently met at a celebrity cricket tournament. But it was not just a meet-and-greet session for the duo," said a source. "They kept chatting for nearly half-an-hour and were discussing work. Honey is most probably going to collaborate with Salman to compose a song for one of his upcoming films."
While the two met, the actor reportedly appeared to have been very interested in the conversation as he didn't give much time to talk to others.
"While many people were approaching Salman for a quick chat, he was busy discussing Honey's work," added the source.
"Yes it's true that they met," confirmed Singh's manager. "They were discussing about composing songs for an upcoming film. But I can't reveal much."
Aside from SRK, Singh has also made compositions for Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in "Cocktail" and Akshay Kumar's "Khiladi 786." He also previously teamed up with Gulzar to rap in his song, "Horn Ok Please" from "Dedh Ishquiya." The song is a collaboration between Vishal Bhardwaj, Gulzar, Sukhwinder Singh and Honey Singh, whose inclusion makes the number give it that special spice.
Singh recently partnered with Sunny Leone and composed "Chaar Bottle Vodka" which will feature in the 3D horror-thriller film "Ragini MMS 2," directed by Bhushan Patel and produced by Ekta Kapoor.
Singh also performed with King Khan during the Temptation Reloaded tour in Australia and New Zealand, however, he was replaced by Arijit Singh for the concert in Malaysia because of lack of dates.

Process started. My toon is now fighter 7 / paladin 7. Next Friday he will be fighter 12 / paladin 2. I'm glad I picked umd because I had a very good armor that required umd 20 to use. I got to 19.5 unbuffed, but with ship buffs I got to 21.5 and could use my armor.

Whilst checking the forum, I've been getting updates on the Apple Developers Conference. It shows the New G5 running Logic with 1000 simultaneous voices played with 24-bit (high) quality stereo. Then shows 100 EQs, 8 bands each (with stereo) == 1600 bands.
Aparently Pentium4 and Zeon toasting specs are the order of the day, what a pity I'm absolutely skint. (see earlier post regarding Agent Nick)

Shuttle makes small computers, but the X2700 is its smallest. The thermodynamically-unlikely dream of a true gaming box in such proportions remains elusive–it has but a humble Intel GMX 950 graphics chip–but at just an inch fatter than the Mac Mini, it's hard to complain.
At $400, it's pretty cheap, too, though it comes with Foresight Linux instead of XP. That gets you an Intel Atom 230 1.6GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, an 80 gig hard drive and a DVD player. You can double the RAM for $30 more, and add a 120GB drive for $20 (or up to 64GB of flash, if you're super-rich), but there's no option for Blu-Ray.
Does it have HDMI output? It does not, which puts it at an ease-of-use disadvantage against similar stuff from other makers (Brownlee just got Asus' miniature desktop model, and is loving it). Counterpoint: it looks cool and has 6 USB ports.

I'm not sure how I feel about the L2/R2 triggers. They still have that squishy feel, which is good for racing, but still not great for shooting. The Xbox triggers still feel better for shooting IMO.

A usb fleshlight, lol..
Joking, the ds4 is so much improved.

I just wonder how many who found the DS3 uncomfortable, were simply gripping it wrong. The pads are supposed to cradle/sit in your fingers, not be gripped by your palm. In fact the only part of the palm that touches the DS3 is the part just below your fingers. If you had it any other way, then that explains the cramping.
I personally found the DS3 controller perfectly fine and not uncomfortable in the least no matter how long I played, and even had no issues whatsoever with the slanted downward triggers. Not sure why people got so bent out of shape about that, perhaps too many were using R2/L2 for fire/aim (360 users), rather than R1/L1.
Now the PS4 controller on the other hand, is meant to be gripped by most of the palm, and this seems to be quite favorable for 360 users used to that concept. I love it too, and it feels extremely comfortable! Possibly the best feeling controller I have ever held when it comes to grip.
- So far one thing I would change is the Options button, it's just a bit too recessed for how often it is used. I find myself stumbling to find it every now and then, and having to look down to find it quickly. Its recession plus the fact it is close to triangle, makes it a bit awkward. If it protruded out a bit more so it is more definable like the DS3 start button, it would be perfect IMO. Share button could use a bit more protrusion as well, but it so far hasn't given me much issue.
- Another thing I would change is the micro USB port, I have a ton of mini-USB cables lying around for my PS3 and other devices, but micro-USB is rare in my homestead (only my phone uses it). So since the DS4 uses a different connector, I now have to go buy new micro-USB cords for it. This seems like a growing trend with the PS4, I am going to need to buy many new devices, and now cords, just for the PS4 because I simply cannot use the ones that I had with my PS3. Not a huge deal, just annoying. And a bit of a oversight on Sony's part IMO.
- The third thing I would change is the height of the analog sticks, they just feel too low, and offer noticeably less "travel" when compared to the DS3's sticks. They are a heck of a lot more responsive though, but not being able to move it as far over as the DS3 analog sticks feels a bit awkward. I use a FPS Freek stick extension on my right stick, which makes it feel REALLY nice, but I find the left stick to be a bit more awkward to use than the DS3, I may pick up one of the shorter FPSFreeks extensions (CQC) and stick it on there for good measure.
- The last thing I would change, which I really don't really care too much about but would like to see as an option, is dimming (or turning off) of the light bar. Even in a fully lit room it is pretty bright, can't imagine playing in the dark (or watching a movie) with that bright light shining out from the controller (especially when it is green... OH MY!).
Other than those few minor things, I am really enjoying the DS4, and the touchpad works great for KZSF! It's like having another d-pad, but quicker and more fun to use! Overall, the DS4 is a homerun.

Yeah battery life should be #1. My DS3 would last for ages.

Not sure if any games use it yet, but that's fine by me, I always hated the motion thing. If I want to flail my arms and limbs around to control things on the screen, I'll buy a Wii.

I played about ten hours straight of ghosts and still had one bar of battery...seems like the first charge or two didn't last as long as they are lasting now...4 or 5 cycles in.

Yeah, the only thing I found that I'd like to have changed on the DS4 is the battery life.
I haven't run it completely down, but I've taken it from fully charged to 1 bar in about 8-10hrs of game play. That said, I love the fact that it charges off of just about any USB charge (have only heard about iPhone chargers having issues) and I've got my 2A charger next to my seat, so if it runs down during gaming I can plug it in (actually played a few hours that way just to see if it would annoy me, and it doesn't.)
On the DS3, I'd say it would take about 3x the usage to discharge the battery to that level.

The only thing, I've noticed that mini usb is more prone to become loose and get to a point with cell phones where they quit charging if you move them...I've thrown away a few mini cables because they won't charge. Granted the controller feels tight every time I plug it in...

How-to replacing rear engine mount 9000cse 1998
Items needed
1 * 13mm ring spanner ( about 5inches long)
1 * 17mm socket piece and ratchet
2 * 16mm spanners
1 * 25 mm torx piece or screwdriver
1 * trolley lift + thick piece of wood.
Having read the guide at link on how to replace the rear engine mount i decided to give it a go.
Here's what i found while doing the work on my 1998 9000 cse.
1. All the bolts holding in the rear engine mounts to the chassis are 13mm and not the 13mm/14mm combination as specified.
2. the bolt holding the engine to the mount is 16mm
3. no need to remove wheel arch trim or plastic inserts.
Here's how i did it.
1. at the rear of the engine above the rear mount remove the 25 torx screw holding in the pipe and gently flex the pipe out of the way so that you can see the 16mm
bolt ( you will need a torch ) and slid the holding clip to the right
2. loosen driver side wheel
3. jack up car and place axel stand under each side
4. remove drivers wheel
5. now using the 13mm spanner on top and the 17mm socket on the bottom nut remove the 2 bolts/nuts from the drivers side. Access is tight but very manageable.
6. now slide under the car and remove the final nut/blot on the inside of the mount toward s the middle of the car.
7. using a very long extension piece and 16mm socket loosen the bolt (from above) that holds the engine to the mount.
8. now support the engine using the trolley jack and a thick piece of wood under the sump just enough to take the weight off the top engine mount.
9. remove the bolt/nut holding in the top engine mount using the 16mm spanners
10. continue to jack up the engine until you can fully remove the rear mount. all the time checking for clearance . the mount slips out towards the front of the car .
11. install the new mount ( you may need to jack up the engine a little more as the new mount will be taller than the worn old one ) and here's the important piece get the 16mm bolt threaded onto the mount BEFORE lowering the engine back .
12. lower engine back down gently and re-install all 3 bolts/nuts and tighten to required torque 40Nm (30lbft) .
13. reinstall the bolt on the top engine mount and tighten to 40Nm (30lbft)
14. tighten up the 16mm bolt holding the engine to the rear mount.
15. refit the drivers wheel and torque to 115Nm ( 85lbft)
16 . lower the car
17. re-install the supporting clip via the 25 torx screw.
hope this helps to reduce the amount of work required took about 1.5hrs from start to finish.
you will be working in an area of risk so you use this procedure at your own risk and i assume no responsibility for your actions using this guide.

Fitch Ratings has assigned A+ ratings to $40 million of San Diego capital improvement projects and Old Town Light Rail Extension lease revenue refunding bonds, and also $6 million of Balboa Park/Mission Bay Park Refunding bonds. The City has "a recovering tax base," says Fitch, pointing to "much improved financial reporting practices." Tourism should do well over the next three years, says Fitch, and possible defense cuts from sequestration are "absorbable given the large property and sales tax base." The San Diego City Employees Retirement System (SDCERS) is 68.5% funded, said Fitch.

The delayed start option on a dishwasher is a cycle that will allow you to run your machine at the time of your choice. This allows you to run it when you aren't home, or after everyone's in bed for the night. A noisy dishwasher can be a distraction, particularly if your kitchen is located anywhere near rooms where you spend a lot of time. If you've grown tired of hearing your dishwasher's background noise, consider investing in a dishwasher with a delayed start option.

Tacoma and Sacramento mayors share inspiring message on public charter schools
Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson share a passion for bringing the best educational opportunities available to students in their cities. That's part of the reason why both support charter schools. As Mayor Strickland wrote in her op-ed for the Bellingham Herald this Sunday, "Everyone knows that public schools work well for most students, but not for all. Roughly 14,000 children a year drop out of school in Washington. That number is unacceptable. We must do better. Public charter schools are one proven way to address this ongoing crisis."
Mayor Johnson came to a similar conclusion from his own life experiences. Johnson grew up Oak Park, a low-income neighborhood in Sacramento. Thanks to his athletic talent, he was able to leave his neighborhood and travel the world, but he wondered why he was one of the few from his community to have this opportunity.
When he retired from his all-star NBA career, Johnson immediately dedicated his time to making sure children from hometown had the opportunity to excel. He went back to Sacramento and established the St. HOPE Foundation. The foundation focuses on helping kids get to college through community engagement, after-school programs, and quality educational opportunities in St. Hope public charter schools.
Since opening in 2003, the schools have brought students remarkable success. St. Hope's high school has a 92 percent minority and 75 percent economically disadvantaged student population, and it has closed its achievement gap entirely.
This is the kind of opportunity that Mayor Strickland talks about when she says Washington's Public Charter School Initiative can "enhance our public school system by adding flexibility to benefit our students and teachers."
Join us on Thursday, October 4th to hear both mayors share powerful messages of hope for success in school and beyond. Register for this free event today!

Coach Sam Paul's 2014 men's tennis team jumped 11 spots in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association rankings. Carolina, off to an 11-1 start, its best since win the first 20 matches of the 2007 season, is now 12th in the latest computerized rankings done by the ITA.
Carolina was 23rd in the rankings two weeks ago after starting the year in the low 40s.
Next up for the Tar Heels is the ultimate test as Carolina plays at #1-ranked Ohio State on Friday at 6 p.m.
Individually in singles, three Tar Heels are in the Top 50, incuding a pair of freshmen. Brayden Schnur is 19th, Ronnie Schneider 29th and sophomore Brett Clark 47th.
Esben Hess-Olesen and Brett Clark are ranked 44th in doubles (based primarily on play last fall) while the freshman doubles duo of Ronnie Schneider and Jack Murray is 56th.
UNC's matchup with Ohio State is its only encounter this week. After facing the Buckeyes, Carolina will not be back in action again until March 10 when it hosts a day-night doubleheader against Texas and Longwood. Those will be the final two non-conference matches of the year for UNC.

The Energy Report - Flood Warning
Hurricane Isaac makes a second landfall at Port Fourchon, LA.; it is becoming clearer that the threat at from this slow moving storm may not come from the winds but the possible flooding. While oil prices have fallen on the expectation that demand for oil will be impacted by this storm in the aftermath of the storm the demand for higher quality crude could drive WTI higher when the damage becomes clearer. With flood defenses already being breeched in southeast Louisiana the impact of this storm on oil production and refineries cannot be underestimated just yet.
Already we know that the majority of Gulf Oil production has been brought to a standstill. The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) reports that 93 percent of daily oil production in the Gulf of Mexico region has been shut in due to Hurricane Isaac. 67 percent of daily natural gas production in the region has been shut in as well. Oil production has been cut by 1.3 million barrels per day and gas production has fallen 67 percent, according to reports.
Barbara Powell of Bloomberg lists these closures. So far six plants shut totaling 1.148 million barrels a day of capacity, that's 6.7 percent of U.S. capacity and 13 percent of Gulf Coast capacity. Rates reduced at three other. (Valero Memphis cut rates because Shell shut pipeline because of hurricane, but not in that region.) Phillips 66 Alliance: shut/Valero Meraux, Norco: shut/Placid Port Allen: shut/Exxon Chalmette: shut/Motiva Convent: Shut/ Motiva Norco: reduced rates/Marathon Garyville: reduced rates/Exxon Baton Rouge: reduced rates/Chevron Pascagoula: won't say/Phillips 66 Lake Charles: no for now and doesn't appear likely Alon Krotz Springs: no for now and doesn't appear likely Citgo Lake Charles Mobile: not shut/ Royal Dutch Shell Plc said the refinery in Covent, Louisiana, that it owns jointly with Motiva Enterprises LLC, is being shut down to prepare for Hurricane Isaac, according to an advisory on the company's website.
If refineries get flooded and cannot be brought back on line quickly we could see crude soar as the renaming refiners will pay up for good crude. Gas and diesel prices will soar as well as we have seen some wild moves in the wholesale gas cash markets. Obviously the Obama administration already itching to release oil from the global oil reserves will release oil at that point but if the refiners are flooded it may not do much good. Of course the Obama administration has said that at this point no decisions have been made on this issue and according to sources no call to the SPR has been made.
Still pressure is growing by politicians to release oil from global reserves against the advice from the experts and the leaders of the International Energy Agency itself. Bloomberg News reported Maria Van der Hoeven, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, said that there's no need to release strategic oil stockpiles, Bloomberg News reported. Ms. Van der Hoeven "we don't have a serious disruption of supply." She said "the market is sufficiently well supplied." On Aug. 17, Ms. Van der Hoeven said there was "no reason" for a strategic oil release. U.S. officials haven't contacted the IEA about a potential release of oil, she said. Of Course despite that statement and the warnings from other experts have not stopped politicians from asking. The Wall Street Journal reported that The Group of Seven leading industrialized economies appealed to the world's major oil producers to boost output as fears about Hurricane Isaac and tensions with Iran pushed up oil prices.The G-7 nations-the U.S., Canada, Japan, U.K., Germany, France and Italy-stopped short of coordinating a release of emergency oil stockpiles despite mounting worries about the damage from rising fuel costs on already weak economies.
Yet an early release from the reserve may have the opposite effect that political leaders may hope for. By trying to artificially reduce prices by a release they may encourage more demand leading to a much larger price spike later if and when there is a more serious disruption of supply.
Of Course Oil also has to focus on the economy as well. Oil should worry that a drop in US confidence could hurt demand. Of course on the other hand it could increase the odds for easing as traders wait Federal Reserve Board Chairman's Ben Bernanke's speech at Jackson Hole not to mention todays GDP. Signs of Easing could send prices higher. The European Central Bank President Mario Draghi that has vowed to do "whatever it takes" to save the Euro is trying to raise stimulus hopes by saying that Europe needs to employ "exceptional measures" at times to ensure its policy can be effective. But beware of the "but" when he said but will act within its mandate. So I guess that means whatever it takes within the mandate.
Yet a surprise Crude Build from the API may temper some rallies. The API reported that Crude Inventories rose by 5.46 million barrels and that was somewhat comforting considering that they could fall by 7 million barrels next week. The API also reported that gasoline supply fell by 2.40 million barrels less comforting I suppose and distillates up by 1.36 million barrels a little bit better. I think next week's draw might have been worse if it were not for more Canadian and US on land production.
Speaking of Canada and politics the Wall Street Journal Is Reporting that Ottawa increasingly is signaling that it will push China to open Its markets more too Canadian companies as a condition for approving Cnooc Ltd.'s proposed US$15.1 billion offer for energy producer Nexen Inc. All significant foreign investments in Canada are subject to Ottawa's review Of whether they will have a "net benefit" to the country's economy. Thatsubjects Beijing-controlled Cnooc's July agreement to buy oil-sands operatorNexen to a review process that could stretch late into the year. Canada has reached out to Asia, and China in particular, for investment and as an alternative to the U.S. as a market for Canada's abundant oil and mineral riches. Ottawa has blessed a series of recent, smaller Chinese deals. But federal and provincial officials long have chafed at barriers to significant Canadian investment into China. Canada's industry minister on Tuesday suggested that better access to the Chinese market could be a focus in the government review. Industry Minister Christian Paradis, whose portfolio includes reviewing foreign deals, declined to discuss the Cnooc-Nexen deal in detail, saying Cnooc hadn't filed anofficial application for review. He also steered clear of saying reciprocity was a condition for the deal to go forward. But he echoed comments last week by Canada's prime minister, who indicated that such concerns would be part of the process. "What we hope is for Canadian companies to grow, not just here but everywhere in the world where they have opportunities," Mr. Paradis told reporters. "And, as the government, we have to make sure they have the opportunities." The issue has been a focus generally for Ottawa, he said. Canada and China agreed this year to pursue exploratory discussions to strengthen economic and trade relations. "We are negotiating a lot of free-trade agreements, and we have some investment agreements with other countries. We will be pushing this very, very hard," Mr. Paradis said.
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper had been tight-lipped about the review process but indicated last week for the first time that reciprocity could be a topic for discussion. Asked why Canada should approve the Cnooc-Nexen deal amid restrictions that prohibit similar investments in China by Canadian companies, he answered, "you do raise some important questions." The agreement will be measured "across a range of considerations, including some of the ones you've mentioned," he said. With small capital markets of its own, Canada typically has welcomed foreign investment, particularly in the capital-intensive oil and mining industries. The Canadian government has rejected just two foreign takeover offers, including cAnglo-Australian miner BHP Billiton's US$38.6 billion bid in 2010 for fertilizer maker Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. Two years earlier, the
Harper government blocked U.S.-based Alliant Techsystems Inc.'s US$1.3 billion planned purchase of the space-technology division of Vancouver-based MacDonald,Dettwiler and Associates Ltd.
Reciprocity could be a hurdle for the Cnooc-Nexen deal in the U.S. as well. The deal is subject to Washington's approval because Nexen has oil wells in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat who serves on the Senate's Finance Committee, has asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner not to approve the deal until Beijing makes "tangible, enforceable commitments to ensure U.S. companies reciprocal treatment."

You clutched onto the bed sheets and shut your eyes tightly as Harry's lips connected with yours.You and Harry have been together ever since that day in detentoin,It was hard to believe that happened 3 months ago,It all went so fast.You were about to lose your virginity to Harry.You were super nervous,But Harry was fine because he's use to this anyway.You wince a bit when Harry's hand tugged at your pj shorts.Harry stops and looks down at you.His eyes glicened from the moon that shone through the window.
"Babe,What's wrong?"He said softly.
You stared into his eyes,They were filled with so much care.
"I'm just nervous,That's all"You sighed.
"Do you think your ready?"
You gave him a small shrug then looked away in embressment.
"Look.."He grabs your chin softly,making you look back at him.
"You're ready and i'm not forcing you into doing this"
"Thanks Harry"You mummble.
"Not a problem Princess"He whispers before he pecks your lips softly and falls to your side.
"Might as well go to sleep now,School in the morning and all"He groans as he wraps his arms around you.
You cuddle up to his warm chest and nuzzle your face into his neck.You smiled a bit to the scent of his colone,It smelt good.You felt as his long fingers softly rubbed the back of your neck and his legs tangling into yours.Your eyes grew heavy and you soon fell asleep,listening to the beat of his heart.
*At school,The next day*
You walk to your locker and swung it open.You grab your books and threw them in your bag before you closed your locker again.You felt long arms wrap around your waist and a chin resting on your shoulder.You smiled knewing who that was from anywhere.
"Hey Harry"You smile as you turned to face him.
"Heya love"He replied with a smile.He was just so happy to have you.
"So,Did you do your homework then?"You asked as you raised your eyebrows at him.
"Ah Shit!I knew i forgot somthing!"He mummbled under his breath.
"Ha,Well i think you should go do it while you still have the chance"
"Good idea!"
He pecks your lips softly before he turns and made his way to the library.You turned and watched as he walked away.You bit your lower lip as you stare down at his butt.He sure does have a nice ass!.The bell rings loudly,taking you out of your toughts.You looked around the hall and it was completely empty.Why did everyone leave so fast?.You shrug and made your way to class.
"HEY!"You hear a deep voice.
Your eyes grew wide as your turned and saw Drake,The biggest bully in the school.You just relized why everyone left so quickly,They knew he was coming home from jail.Yes,Drake was in jail for stabbing one of the students.You quickly turned and began to run down the hall,Doing anything you can to avoid him.You saw the library and immediatley tought of Harry.You ran as fast as you could but you were suddenly jumped on.Drake sat on your stomach and began to punch you.You screamed and cried loudly.
"Shut up you fucking geek!"Drake growls.
You closed your eyes tightly,Praying that he would stop.And suddenly he did.You never dared to look at what was happening.You felt Drake quickly getting off you then he heard a lot of punching.
You opened your eyes and sat up to see Harry,pining Drake against the lockers and punched him in the face.You stood up and saw so much anger in Harry's face as he countinued to beat the shit out of Drake.Harry threw Drake to the floor and kicked in the stomach.You tought that it was getting to much out of hand.You grabbed Harry's hand and tried to pull him away but he wouldn't move.Next thing you knew,Three gym teachers were pulling Drake and Harry apart.Drake was sent to hospital with some broken bones.

Guest Author - Janet Collins
Copenhagen is one of my favourite European destinations. With such famous attractions as the Little Mermaid statue, the Tivoli amusement park, and the Carlsberg Brewery, its easy to find something to please every age and every taste.
Before saying anything about my fave things to do in Denmarks royal city, a word of caution: Some Danes have a problem with non-Danes, especially if they happen to have dark hair and eyes (as I do). At least two shop clerks refused to speak to me because I didnt speak Danish. A couple of other stores declined to accept my credit card even though a sign in the shop window and at the cash counter clearly indicated that they accepted the card. Best talk to one of the locals about the reason for all of this its far too complicated to get into here. Rest assured, however, that such inconveniences arent reserved for tourists as problems are worse for Danes who marry non-Danes (they cant live in the country as a married couple for several years due to some peculiar laws!). Like I said, ask the locals about it all. And dont get too stressed re the credit card thing as cash machines are easily accessed in most parts of the city.
While such things are a bit of a bother, there is much about Copenhagen that makes all the fuss worth enduring.
When planning your trip, inquire about the CPHCard which is available for purchase at tourist offices, major train stations, and the airport. The card entitles the bearer to free entry to about 60 museums and attractions, free transport by train, bus and Metro, as well as discounts on restaurants and car rentals.
A fun way to get oriented is aboard a canal tour. Check for ticket offices in Nyhavn and Gammel Strand. Or hop on a waterbus - routes sail from the "Little Mermaid" (Trekroner Fortress) in the North to Fisketorvet (Shopping Center) in the South by changing at Gammel Strand, Nyhavn, the Opera and at Christianshavn. FYI, the best seafood restaurants are located along the canals, too.
The Danish Design Center is a great place to immerse yourself in classic Danish design. Located at HC Andersens Boulevard 27, this is THE place to see jewelry and tableware by Georg Jensen, furniture by Arne Jacobsen, and work by many of their fellow Danes both past and present. There is a seniors discount, but if youre really watching your budget, go on Wed between 17:00 and 21:00 when admission is free for all.
Literary buffs cant leave town without an excursion to Elsinore to visit Kronborg Castle, better known as Hamlets home. Note that different parts of the castle have different admission fees and there is no seniors discount. I felt the cost was worth it, however, especially given that admission to two other sights the National Museum (Ny Vestergade 10) and the Royal Library with its so-called Black Diamond addition (located at Søren Kierkegaards Plads 1) was free.
Located in the centre of Copenhagen is a destination for the young and the young at heart. The famous Tivoli Gardens boast a wide range of entertainment options from concerts and theatre to an aquarium and an amusement park. The Gardens are especially pretty at night and during special seasonal celebrations. While there is no seniors break, there is a special admission for families.
Copenhagen's largest shopping area is centred on Europe's longest pedestrian shopping street, Strøget, and the streets that surround it. This is great place for finding internationally known fashion labels, unique textiles, Danish design items, music, new and used books, etc. Prefer to poke around flea markets? Then save your Saturdays to explore markets behind the Frederiksberg City Hall (one of the busiest), on Israels Plads, close to the Nørreport S-Train Station (the oldest market in town), and on the grand Kongens Nytorv Square (arts & crafts). For antiques, stroll by Gammel Strand on Fridays and Saturdays. There are also markets around town on Sundays.
Other must-sees/must-dos in Copenhagen:
Take advantage of the citys free bikes to explore the area like a local
Statens Museum for Kunst, the Danish national gallery (free except for special exhibits)
Castle of Rosenborg (discount & package with Amalienborg Palace entrance)
Botanical Gardens (free admission)
Enjoy a locally brewed beer (the oldest Danish micro brewery, The Apollo, is located near the Tivoli Gardens). Take an excursion to the Carlsberg Brewery.
Eat a Danish pastry, meatballs, and open-face sandwiches. Hot dogs are another local favourite.
Immerse yourself in all things Hans Christian Andersen
Theres so much more to do and see in and around Copenhagen. If thats not enough to keep you busy, Sweden is a mere 30 minutes away.
