UK Car Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hello, the first thing to test is the glowplugs are heating ok and the glowplug relay timer is working.
Hi Mark, the first garage replaced an electronic black box which I was told was the Electronic Diesel Control EDC unit. After this was replaced with a new one (10 months ago), you could hear the revs change as I tried to start the bus when cold. However after a few weeks, the engine just reverted to turning over at a constant rate again. In the summer this isn't a problem and the engine starts first time. However, now the cold weather has started the problem has returned.
When I warm up the EDC the problem is still there. If I warm up the 'engine' on the same side as the EDC for an hour, the LT46 starts first time. Is there a sensor or relay connected to the EDC which I could locate and heat up in isolation ?
Actually it isnt the EDC which was replaced it was the 'electronic black box' ie the ECM Electronic Control Module ?
Is there a sensor in the EDC ? Might be worth warming that up in isolation to see if it works ?
I would replace the engine oil as it could be contaminated and too thick when cold. This can slow the starter down a bit and draw more current leaving the glowplugs with less. You still also need to check the glowplugs though.
Remember to use the correct grade of engine oil or one recommende for colder weather.
A 5/30W or 5/40W would be ok that meets VW505.00
Do you still need help with this?
Hi Mark
I had the bus fully checked and serviced by 3 garages, including a VW main dealer. Oils were changed, filters replaced everything 'normal' checked and passed, but I still have the problem.
As I said the ECM was replaced. I have had many people suggest many things, including fitting an in-line bulk head heater and various other heaters to get around the problem. But it should work, a sensor, a relay must be effected by the cold. Do you know where you can get hold of manuals or info on LT46 ECM senors and where they are located ?
It is more likely that the heat under the engine is affecting the oil rather than anything else. Although you say the oil has been changed, do you know the grade of oil that was used. You also originally stated that the engine speed when cranking over was significantly different during cold spells compared to when the weather was warmer. This would suggest either incorrect oil grade, a bad battery or a high resistance in the earth cable. In my experience it is wrong oil grade.
I'll check the oil upgrade with the garage, and change the oil again myself anyhow. What is the best possible brand/type you would reccommend for something like this ?
Shell or Castrol Or Mobil 1 that meets VW505.00
A 5/30W or 5/40W viscosity.
Hi Mark, new to JustAnswer, do I rate each reply or at the end when I have tried the oil change ?
You just rate when you are satisfied I have been able to help.

- Improving annual aircraft fuel efficiency by an average of 1.7 percent from 2009 to 2012, exceeding the International Air Transportation Association's fuel-efficiency goal of 1.5 percent annual improvement
- Reducing annual aircraft greenhouse gas emissions by 8.4 million metric tons since 2005, an 18.5 percent reduction – Delta's greenhouse gas emissions from 2005 to 2011 have been third-party validated through The Climate Registry, a nonprofit organization with established standards for calculating, verifying and publicly reporting carbon footprints
- Expanding its award-winning in-flight recycling program beyond the 29 cities currently equipped to participate – more than $131,000 is being donated this year to Habitat for Humanity and Delta's Employee and Retiree Care Fund for recycling rebates from 2012
- Becoming the sole airline member of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions' Business Environmental Leadership Council, a group of mostly Fortune 500 companies working together to explore energy policies that make sense for business and the environment
ATLANTA, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) is celebrating Earth Month by matching up to $25,000 of carbon offset contributions made by customers during April in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090202/DELTALOGO ) Delta's year-round carbon offset program allows customers to purchase and retire carbon offsets on delta.com to reduce the carbon dioxide associated with their travel. Retired offsets are tracked on Markit Environmental Registry. Proceeds benefit The Nature Conservancy's Rio Bravo Project, which conserves tropical forest and wildlife habitat in northern Belize. Customers who purchase a ticket at delta.com have the option of contributing to the carbon offset program at $15 per metric ton. For example, to offset the 0.56 metric tons of CO 2 emitted for roundtrip travel between Atlanta and San Francisco, it would cost $8.44 per passenger. In the last twelve months, Delta and Delta customers have purchased 4,472 metric tons of carbon offsets. "Delta is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operations," said Ken Hylander, senior vice president – Corporate Safety, Security and Compliance. "In addition to other initiatives, we've made a commitment to do our part to help offset carbon emissions by investing in the Conservancy's forest projects." In 2007, Delta became the first airline to launch a carbon offset program. The Tensas River Basin Project in the Lower Mississippi River Valley was Delta's first project with TNC and allowed the reforestation of 406.3 acres, which over time will sequester a net total of 74,177 metric tons of carbon dioxide. Delta's carbon offset program is just one of the airline's efforts to affect positive environmental change. Other initiatives include:

UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. -
The Richmond women's basketball team recently participated in Ginter Park Elementary Field Day through its Big Brothers/Big Sisters Program. The Spiders were featured in last month's Richmond-Times Dispatch detailing its involvement with the organization.
Each week, various members of the women's basketball team visit Ginter Park to spend quality time with their little sister or little brother, usually of second or third grade age.
Assistant coach Ebony Tanner Moore spearheaded the effort because she wanted the players to realize they're role models and the importance of giving back.
"Although the program is set up to help the "littles", its us, the "bigs", that have really grown to love these kids," said rising junior Rachael Bilney. "We are just as excited to see them as they are to see us."
Even though the school year is coming to a close, the Spiders plan to continue this program next year.
Richmond finished the 2009-10 season with its second straight postseason appearance. The Spiders only lose one starter from last year's squad, and welcome seven newcomers next week to campus.

After we finished zip-lining, we got to visit some animals and hold them. Not only did we see several different birds (like the toucan in the picture below), we got to see monkeys just like the ones that were used on Friends for Marcel!
Since it was sunny and warm, we spent the afternoon on deck reading, hanging out and listening to the band (three of our new friends were playing in it on the pool deck).
It was another dressy night at dinner, so we got all dolled up for our three-course meal and the show after. We hung out in the lobby again after the show with our new musician friends before going to bed with hopes of spending the next day by the pool.

Interesting read. Especially on how many AKs are now being made just for the US market.
www.nytimes.com/2012/08/15/business/a-kalashnikov-factory-in-russia-survives-on-sales-to-us-gun-owners.htmlSelling rifles to Americans and other civilians is fundamental to the efforts to save Izhmash, which has made Kalashnikovs since soon after their invention in 1947 but is now struggling.
Demand for new military guns in the Kalashnikov family has evaporated. Simple, durable and relatively cheap to manufacture, about 100 million have been produced over the decades, or about one for every 70 people on earth. Inventories are overflowing, used AK weapons have flooded the market, and cheap Chinese knockoffs are stealing many of the customers that remain.
For American gun enthusiasts, an authentic Russian-made Kalashnikov is appealing not only for its historical importance as the weapon of choice in so many global conflicts, but also because of its reliability.
Selling Saigas in the United States is integral to the enterprise's evolving business model of making single-shot civilian guns to occupy workers and equipment in between government orders for fully automatic assault rifles. About 70 percent of the factory's output is now civilian rifles, up from 50 percent two years ago. Of the civilian arms, about 40 percent are exported to the United States.
I don't trust them Ruskies! Bet they are putting chips in the rifles that can be disabled via satellite fer when that evil red hoard invades our shores.
The prices should come down then. I'd like to have one but don't want to pay what they are currently bringing. I say they need to ramp-up production and get the prices down.
Here's an update: "Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin to merge the financially troubled Izhmash with another firearms manufacturer, Izhmekh, creating a new enterprise which will be called Kalashnikov". Article here:
Possible Merger In The Works?Izhmash & Izhmekh | FOG HORN
Hopefully they'll keep the premium on AK 100 stocks.
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations James Madison 1788
Prices of all weapons from the manufacturers are quite stable, but distributors and LGS have jacked the prices up. I recently received a very popular military style weapon that was ordered before the present panic buying caused prices to skyrocket. When I placed my order last November the then dealer price was 71% cheaper then the present asking price for the same weapon. I am quite sure the other three weapons that he received with my order will be sold at the much higher price. Not bad, over a 100% profit on a $400 short term investment.

Arsène Wenger is relieved that Arsenal do not have to win on Wednesday night - because he is determined to give some of his players a rest.
The Frenchman flew out to Greece today for the Champions League clash with Olympiacos accompanied by the youngest squad to represent Arsenal in European football. Wenger has selected ten teenagers for the Group H finale and they can expect a hot reception in Athens as the Greek champions chase the point they need to join the Gunners in the knockout stage.
Mikael Silvestre is the only 30-something in Arsenal's 18-man party but Wenger has no regrets as he contends with an injury list that stretches into double figures. In fact, the manager believes his team will have just enough experience to make a good impression on the continent.
"I left a few players behind but basically I am very happy that we do not have to absolutely win this game because all the players I left have little knocks and needed in fairness a rest," said Wenger.
"So I travel with a very young team and fortunately we have some players who were suspended like Alex Song, or are coming back from injury like Theo Walcott, who will play.
"So we should have a good mixture between young players and experienced players."

Bengals wide receiver Mohamed Sanu looked like he was breaking out until he foot broke last season. From Week 10-12, Sanu scored four touchdowns in three games. But a few days after that third game, Sanu broke a bone in his left foot and was shelved for the rest of his rookie year.
The good news is that Sanu said this week he was cleared to run routes earlier this month and he is healing up well.
"It's great. It feels good," Sanu said of his foot via the team's official website. "I've been working out and running. I've been running routes for a while and it feels good."
Fantasy Analysis:
This is noteworthy because Sanu is in the running to begin next season as the Bengals' No. 2 wideout. In other words, he could be the player that benefits the most from the massive amount of defensive attention that is drawn to A.J. Green. Marvin Jones is another candidate. Andrew Hawkins is more of a slot/No. 3 WR. Sanu should be a popular sleeper in deep drafts this summer, especially if he claims a starting job in training camp.

Is a federal budget deal in the offing?
December 6, 2013
For the past several days, media outlets that focus on federal policy have been reporting positive news about the possibility of a "small" budget agreement. Today the story hit the mainstream media, in the form of a New York Times story: Congress Nears Modest Accord on the Budget. The first thing to say about this is that it is not by any means a done deal – while all the incentives seem to be lining up in favor of this kind of agreement, there are an almost infinite number of ways it could go wrong.
That being said, press reports have consistently said this "small deal" would leave out any major tax or entitlement reform. It would consist of a partial roll-back of the sequestration cuts, about evenly split between defense and nondefense spending. For domestic "discretionary" programs like HUD's homelessness and housing programs, the result would be something in between the House and Senate versions from earlier this year, maybe somewhat closer to the lower House version but still in the middle area. Of course, that's just the overall number; the Appropriations Committees would still need to negotiate spending levels for each individual program.
For people working on homelessness, the first implication is that, now more than ever, members of Congress must hear how important it is that they turn away from sequestration and set realistic spending levels for homelessness programs. The recent PIT count shows that, against all odds, we have continued to make progress even in a very difficult economy; but that will all be undermined if funding levels continue to shrink.
The second implication, of course, is that a wholesale return to substantial increases in capacity every year is not going to happen, at least not right away. The Alliance is doing a lot to help communities figure out how to get the most impact out of the funding that we do have. I'd encourage people to check the webinar that we'll be running on December 17, NOFA Planning and Advocacy, and keep up with the Alliance's analysis and updates on our website and blog.
One other thing – today's news is full of tributes to Nelson Mandela, who passed away yesterday at the age of 95. I consider it a great honor to have lived at a time when this man walked the earth. Mandela was fearless and relentless in pressing for what was right; and at the same time, regarded everyone he dealt with, including people who had done him great wrong, with respect and honor.
He and his many allies accomplished great, seemingly impossible things – ending homelessness in America seems like a pretty easy lift compared to ending apartheid in South Africa – and they did it by making deals and continuing to push. Rest in peace.

This Week's Agenda
It's Monday and The Takeaway is handing out a road map to this week's top stories. The House of Representatives is out on August recess, but the Senate is still working on its plan for national health care reform. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is in Africa, visiting seven countries in eleven days. Our guides to this week's news are Martin Plaut, the Africa editor for the BBC, and Chris Hayes, Washington DC editor for The Nation and a fellow at the New America Foundation.
How do you try to bend people's arms and say you really have to come up to the mark on this, when you have the Chinese there saying 'we don't care what you do we're just going to invest and take your minerals' and the African leaders say 'whoopee!'

Since establishing themselves in the health and fitness industry, MusclePharm has gone from strength to strength and now can be considered one of the elite providers of supplements on a global scale.
From protein to creatine, BCAA's to CLA's, MusclePharm has something for everyone and offers a supplement range which will tailor to your unique needs. If you're looking to take your training to the next level then this brand will help you achieve all that and more. Once you train with MusclePharm, you'll never want to train without them ever again.
Whilst other companies and brands appear happy to release one or two products and then sit back and lap up the applause, MusclePharm has opted for an alternative route. Their team of scientists work tirelessly around the clock, looking for the next big thing. If you ask me it won't be too much longer before the discovery is made and the boundaries of scientific possibility are once again stretched.
One of the most popular supplements in recent years is those that bring about weight loss. Many companies have attempted to create super capsules but few have successfully managed to replicate the success of MusclePharm's Shred Matrix. So what is this product?
Shred Matrix can be considered an 8 stage diet support system like none other available on the health and fitness market. Not only that but it's MusclePharm's most powerful weight loss support system to date. It really is a truly incredible supplement and the results it produces, just as impressive.
Unlike other similar supplements which just hit weight loss from one angle only, Shred Matrix offers a comprehensive approach involving multi systems. This way the weight loss process becomes more effective and stable than other less effective methods. Rather than working against the body, Shred Matrix works with the various energy pathways to create its desired effect on the metabolism. Rather than shying away from issues, it addresses them all.
Previous research has also demonstrated that Shred Matrix can enhance energy and alertness levels. Your moods and mental alertness have also been proven to be significantly enhanced. This creates a well being effect whereby you are both losing weight and feeling better within yourself.
So what is the 8 stage approach to weight loss? This will now be considered in detail:
Stages 1/2: Helps to support the stimulation of metabolic energy usage
Stages 3/4: Supports appetite control and fat metabolism
Stage 5: Supports mood and the sense of well-being
Stage 6: Helps support mental focus
Stage 7: Supports the skin tight complex
Stage 8: Helps enzymatic and digestive support
So there you have Shred Matrix by MusclePharm, one of the most effective and forward thinking weight loss supplements on the planet. This product has been tried and tested and is effective at accelerating weight loss and enhancing a lean muscular physique. Alongside a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and nutrition, this product has the ability to allow you to achieve all of your physique dreams and more.

The Witcher 2 - Papercraft of Kings
Remember the papercraft PR stuff that gaming sites released a while back? CD Project Red has released Geralt, the torturer and prisoner papercraft models for those into this stuff:
Through a series of unfortunate events and false accusations, Geralt landed in a dungeon. It's not the first criminal episode in the witcher's career, but what else can you expect from an itinerant monster slayer dealing with elven terrorists?
As befits a brawler, Geralt gave up all efforts at appealing his innocence and decided to take matters into his own hands. On his way to freedom, the witcher encounters the Torturer. A torture chamber drama plays out between the two, the Emaciated Prisoner is only witness.
Wondering how this story turns out? Even Triss and Zoltan can't agree. Luckily, here's your chance to bring it and a thousand other stories to life in the comfort of your own home. Now you can download, cut out and assemble your own Geralt, Torturer and Emaciated Prisoner, and use them to create the quest of your choice. All this thanks to The Witcher 2: Papercraft of Kings set (keep away from fire) – licensed by CD Projekt RED, published by Cubeecraft.com and available HERE.

Liverpool St Thomas, Lancashire Genealogy
England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Chapelry History
Liverpool St Thomas Park Lane was created a chapel of ease in 1750 from and lying within the boundaries of Liverpool St Peter and St Nicholas ecclesiastical parish.
The area to the South and East of the Old Dock of Liverpool and was built to serve the needs of the families who lived nearby and who worked in the dock. The area rapidly changed and as the residents began to become largely Roman Catholic, the Diocese was forced to consider closure.
In 1885 St Thomas' churchyard was closed and part used for street improvement, the remainder to be laid out as ornamental gardens. (See Inscriptions of gravestones removed at Liverpool Record office Ref No. 352 CEM 1/17/1).
By 1900 sixty five per cent of the population of the parish was estimated to be Roman Catholic and in 1903 The Bishop of Liverpool's Commission to enquire into the spiritual needs of the Diocese recommended the closure of St. Thomas' Church. The Liverpool and Wigan Churches Act, 1904 confirmed this recommendation and the church was closed on 31 December 1905. The parish was absorbed into that of St. Michael, Upper Pitt Street.
"The church dedicated to St Thomas, in Parklane, built under the authority of an act passed in the 21st of George II., and consecrated in 1750. This chapel stood within the civil parish of St Peter and Nicholas Liverpool."[1]

I just bought an 06 TR and it didnt come with the stock boost gauge. Before I start modding id like to put in a boost gauge. I like the Omori 45mm gauge but have a few questions.
Is the OEM boost gauge mechanical or eletric?
If its electric I'll spend the extra $$$ for a gauge I can just splice in vs running a mechanical line.
Where is the OEM boost gauge harness located?
Im looking at getting this:
I've searched and searched and even called the dealership to find out if the stock gauge is mechanical or electric and even they didn't know.
Please help

"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"
"I love these cards they are exactly what I was looking for and the process was easy with wonderful customer service and prompt processing and shipping!"
"I was pleasantly surprised with my new cards.The front is very eye catching, the paper quality/feel is professional...not cheap feeling, and I just love the fact that they're different! The only disappointment is that I would have liked the information on the back to be a little "brighter" (whiter, perhaps?) to make it easier to read due to the small text. I'm very happy that I went with this card!"
"Beautiful product! Easy to customize and order and very impressive upon arrival. People always comment on these cards when I hand them out and they make a big impact without being too flashy or pushy - perfect for someone on the job market like me! They're just a tiny bit too tall to fit in standard business card holder, but that hasn't been a problem for me."
"I needed new calling cards because we just moved into a new neighborhood. This card was perfect! The size and shape are different--square shape. It's has simple art work on the front with the cardholder's name floating on top of the water colors "stains". The card has a "business-like" layout on the backside for other info, such as address, phone, email. The paper quality is far superior to most cards I've had or have seen. The cost was reasonable. People take a second look at the card and turn it around several times admiring the size and shape. Only one comment about how it won't fit in a regular business card holder. That's true, it's a bit larger in width."

I fabbed up a new custom strut bar and had it powder coated gloss black, thought I would share the end result.
I put a blue led strip in it hooked up to a hood pin switch, I know its rice so feel free to blast your comments, I could care less. The strut bar itself turned out great, tried to replicate the lines of the car.

Hey, do you know what an ISO image is? Basically, it's a ready-to-go file that can be burned to a CD or DVD, but there's more to it – click here if you're interested. What I'm talking about here, however, is Windows 7's ability to burn ISO images without any extra software required!
If you have an ISO image on your computer and you'd like to burn it to a CD or DVD simply locate the ISO file, right-click it and select Burn Disc Image.
A window should pop up called Windows Disc Image Burner. Simply insert a blank CD or DVD into your CD or DVD burner and click Burn. In a few minutes you should have a disc that will act just like the parent disc it was originally burned from!
If you're wondering how to create an ISO from a CD or DVD, you'll need a program like Img Burn to do so. Check it out here! Remember, not all discs can be turned into an image; some are copy protected.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday November 26th, 2013 8:58am
The winners and losers post is back after a big weekend of recruiting, signaling the end of the November recruiting period. Under Armour and the NLL inked a deal that is big in the lacrosse business world, MLL is moving to Florida, and Cornell is dealing with the aftermath of Ben DeLuca's dismissal.
After a news-heavy week, here are the winners and losers.
NLI Signing Period — The Fall NLI signing period is one of the more surprisingly fun times of year. For a select crew of top recruits, many of which IL has followed throughout their career, the big day comes when they can be with friends and family and make their commitment to their said university official. The popularity of our NLI post that ran during the period (officially Nov. 13-20) speaks to the merits of this practice. Good luck to all recruits as they prepare for their final high school seasons and their future fall commitment.
IL's Danielle Bernstein — I have to highlight our own staff in this space. Danielle won the IWLCA's President's Cup Award for her contributions to the game. I was fortunate enough to see the video of Boston University coach Liz Robertshaw's speech introducing Danielle, and her words told the story better than I could. ILWomen, led by Danielle, is elevating the women's game in a way that hasn't been done before. One of our main goals at Inside Lacrosse is to elevate and share the sport we love, and Danielle is doing that specifically for the women's game. ILWomen has its own distinct voice unique to the game, and it treats the sport with the respect it deserves. I can also tell you that being responsible for an entire website — along with a host of other duties — is no easy task. Follow @ILWomen, bookmark the site and tweet congrats to @DaniBernstein to show your support for the game. All of her coverage from this weekend at the IWLCA can be found here.
End of the recruiting calendar — There always seems to be an event going on somewhere, but with a few tournaments in the Baltimore area running their course this weekend, it seems we have FINALLY hit the end of the 2013 recruiting calendar. We sweated through the summer events, and after this weekend's brutally cold weather we've shivered through the fall ones, and now assistant coaches can reintroduce themselves to their families, and "recruiting pundits" can put down the notebooks and just track emails announcing NLI signings. Thoughts on the absurdities of recruiting aside, it's got to feel nice to have a little break before the winter comes and focus again shifts to the teams that will play NCAA ball this spring, not the future ones trying to be built.
Under Armour Lacrosse — If you haven't been checking out ILGear recently, you've missed a stream of new UA Charge gloves that've been released, including St. John's, Canisius and Belmont Abbey's in recent weeks. But the coup de grace came Monday a.m. with the announcement that UA had signed on to outfit the NLL in 2014, a big step in advancing their products' visibility to a wider lacrosse community.
Positive Concussion Effect? — In a rare positive outcome from concussions, this aspiring professional lacrosse player from Denver had to give up the sport after he suffered several hits to the head but shocked his family and friends when he was effortlessly able to play 13 instruments. The doctor uses some medical terms to explain that the high school junior's musical gift may have been in his brain and the injury helped re-wire the brain. This is obviously an unusual case, but it's nice to hear lacrosse concussions having a positive effect these days.
The NLL — Under Armour signing on as the official exclusive equipment supplier is great news for the league. It's a natural partnership with Knighthawks owner Curt Styres having founded Team 22, the manufacturer of UA's lacrosse equipment, so it should be great for both sides. Team 22 has signed a host of NLL stars, and now will have the activation of those guys wearing their gear during NLL games.
Curt Styres, Paul Gait, Team 22 — The news announced Monday that Under Armour signed a three-year deal with the National Lacrosse League is probably some of the most intriguing lacrosse industry news of the entire year. Curt Styres and Paul Gait — founders of Team 22, the company manufacturing Under Armour Lacrosse goods — have been working with Under Armour to make this happen for a long time now, and it's going to be interesting to see how this deal impacts a potential long-term commitment by Under Armour to be involved in lacrosse. It's unique in that it's somewhat of a Canada/Iroquois/Upstate/Baltimore arrangement when you think about the people and companies involved. Under Armour Lacrosse has been doing its part in growing its NCAA presence in recent seasons, and this news of a deal with the longest-operating professional lacrosse league should indicate that the gear being produced isn't just legit — it's going to be protecting guys from some of the hardest slashes and crosschecks you'll ever see.
The IWLCA Convention — I was in Orlando last week for the IWLCA annual meetings. This is always one of my favorite trips of the year because all the NCAA coaches are in one place for a couple of days talking about the big issues currently facing the women's college game. I think it's fascinating to hear what coaches think on various topics. Everyone has different ideas to bring to the table, which is great, but also makes for some tough decision-making. From some of the conversations I had with coaches throughout the weekend, it sounds like the IWLCA is making an effort as a coaching body to prevent the recruiting process from inching back even earlier than it already is. I'm interested to see what the next steps are as the coaches will vote and the IWLCA will make a proposal to the NCAA regarding the recruiting calendar, but I got the sense that potentially some big changes are in store and the coaches are hoping to be somewhat of a pioneer in making this happen.
Arbitrary NCAA Rules — That said, its always disappointing when the kids who are committed to the Ivies, the military academies or top Division III schools aren't able to participate since they are not receiving true athletic lacrosse scholarships. IF you're school is a mix and match of these kids, at least get everyone together and share in the photo and good times.
Hamilton Nationals — MLL starting a team in Florida has been no secret; it's been a matter of time for at least a year now. It's unfortunate the team has to move (temporarily or not) the Hamilton Nationals down there to do it. The Nationals never were raking in attendance, but the talent was there, and I believe it's important for MLL to have a presence in Canada. Now, Brodie Merrill is the first trade casualty of the move. Let's hope this is only a one-year thing; MLL fans can't wait for the days when the league is growing and increasing its footprint, not just shuffling things around.
Turkeys — It's a rough week ahead for these guys. (Sorry, not many losers to pick today, other than those that froze at the recruiting tournaments mentioned above.)
Pro Indoor/Outdoor Players — This is a point that's been made several times, but with MLL releasing its schedule last week, it's worth rehashing — changes to both pro leagues' schedules, compounded by the World Games in July, have made it more likely that guys will have to choose one league over another, and won't get to play in both. As is well-established, pro lacrosse players don't make a ton of money; the ability to play in two pro leagues supplements that for some. This issue isn't even one that needs a solution; it's a reality that existed and has since been altered. There's not much value in discussing "how to fix it." It's simply a bummer that it was broken in the first place.
Those Who Missed Con Bro Chill — Myself and Terry Foy took the trip from Baltimore to Vienna, Va., on Friday night to check out Con Bro Chill in action. We've seen the band play at the Konica Minolta Big City Classic, but I have yet to see them in a true concert venue until this weekend. Ohio Machine's Connor Martin and his band put an incredible amount of effort into their shows and that energy was obviously contagious in the crowd all night. It looks like the band even had a very special guest at their NYC show on Saturday, world-famous DJ David Guetta stopped by to check out their show. Hopefully that can only mean more success for the guys.
Cornell Lacrosse — Wherever you sit following the news of Cornell's dismissal of Ben DeLuca, it's not good for that program to have this kind of upheaval. I've talked to a host of people and heard a host of opinions on the subject. Obviously the timing's tough on everyone. And losing a guy with DeLuca's continuity makes for a big transition. I think Matt Kerwick and Pete Milliman are perfect to take over right now and steward the program forward. But there's just no way it looks good to get rid of your head coach this close to the 2014 season starting.
Again, the Early Recruiting Critics — While a lot of fans, parents or members of the media get caught up in criticizing or questioning the idea of "early recruiting," that whole conversation only gets older and is passed by as young players and their families en masse attend recruiting events for the young age groups, like the class of 2017. And coaches are right there to see them. It feels as if there is nothing to stop what is happening, and I'm still not entirely sure if we prove there's any major negative effect, though I had my skepticisms at first and continue to develop my thoughts. But as all the talk continues, the process is underway and none of the critics are going to stop it. Lacrosse players are getting better and more athletic at earlier ages, and coaches are doing what they need to do — like in other sports — to improve their programs and chances of winning. As one coach told me over the weekend at the NXTsports Philly Freshman Showcase, an early commitment challenges a young player to continue improving and makes him/her understand what is at stake in his/her high school career and, perhaps more importantly, academic work. There are both legitimate sides to the argument, but the way things move quickly, I'm not sure at this point if anything positive is going to come out of the criticism of the process to counter any of the potential negatives people seemed concerned about. Quint might be correct in saying that early recruiting poses more questions than answers, and that's a smart way to view it. But it's not going to be curbed by anyone's opinion or any group's opinion, because the forces guiding it are more of a reality, more tangible — i.e., needing to win, pursuing scholarships, etc. Meanwhile in the discussion of it all, players and coaches do what they can to meet with an eye toward the future.
The Efficiency of Southwest Airlines — This would be my "Come on man!" if this were the "Come on Man!" segment of Sunday NFL Countdown. Look, I love Southwest Airlines. I call them Southbest sometimes because I think they're so great! But yesterday I think they were a little inefficient. I flew from Orlando, to Flint (MI) to Baltimore on one of those stop-but-don't-change-planes flights. Wouldn't it make more sense to fly to Baltimore and then continue to Flint? Am I the only person who thinks this is inefficient!? I mean, it was fine — I met some great people on the plane and got a good nap in! Really, I just hate picking losers and this was the only thing I could think of.

Hello zteknik,
An Enfield box mag shell perhaps could be attached over the MN box for effect. The SKS mag is too small for the x54R round.
A Finnish MN stock may look a bit more Enfield-like though they are spendy. So would a bent down bolt handle.
Can't help with the PC Paint mock-up.

Howdy again folks. I've been picking around here and this seems like a good place to ask questions.
I'm going to the range this weekend (well maybe next but probably this Saturday unless it's too busy) where I'll decide for sure, but I'm trying to set a budget for a carry piece.
I have debated numerous guns, and the truth is I really do want a compact auto like a Kahr and a compact revolver, but I must get one before I get the other, and I've read somewhere I must choose one type for carry in my state. Or so I think. More on that here in a second.
Anyway even after some practice, although I am learning to appreciate autos more, I am still married to the wheelgun. I guess I was born in the wrong century. I have decided to get a compact revolver first.
I debated and debated because there's lots of fine choices out there, and after lots of (safe) experimentation with my (unloaded) 686, I figured out that although I prefer a medium or large size frame for simple shooting, it well it just doesn't work for me in concealment. I can't draw it quickly nor conceal it well in most of my attire, and I need something that's easy on easy off.
I CAN make it work with lots of cover garment and a Fobus paddle holster. But even then it is too restrictive, and I can't exactly wear a vest and a sweatshirt everywhere. That's great if you can carry some big honkin' 1911 or S&W 629 around and get away with it, but it doesn't work for me darn it.
Thus I am seriously looking at pocket carry of a compact revolver. I have a thing for Hogue style grips and stainless finishes. I considered something in .357 but my control is much better with .38 special. I guess I still have lots to learn.
Research drew me naturally to the S&W 637. It's less than 6.5" long, thin enough, light enough, the factory grips are ideal for me, reasonably priced, and a quality firearm.
But then again, I see lots of Taurus models available cheaper and I have some experience with them as well and I trust them. I'm also very very tempted by the Ruger SP 101. I have shot several Ruger autos (heck I own one) and I like them a lot, so their revolvers can only be better.
I've also strongly considered the Taurus 905, because it's really short at 6 inches long and it's chambered in 9x19. I realize it's kind of a weird little animal but I can't shake my fascination with this gun. I have done some more legal research and will soon consult an expert for a more qualified opinion, but I think the source that informed me Texas makes you choose between a revolver and an auto was possibly mistaken. I know there are lots of myths and misconceptions about concealed carry and firearms in general so I take nothing for granted any more. The main thing against this piece is I'm not sure about moonclips in a carry piece as I've been informed of some reasons they're not really good for self defense versus a traditional setup.
I want two same caliber carry pieces in the two different formats in any eventuality no matter what caliber I go with. You just seem to have so many more options in an auto with 9mm versus .38 Special. Something like one of those Kahrs interests me for the not as immediate future.
Does anyone have experience with pocket carry, retention, and firing of a snubnose .38 Sp. to relate? I'm not sure I've seen all the pros and cons yet.
Is there anything I should consider besides the possbility of a bent moonclip if I were to go with a tool chambered in 9x19? Is there something besides the Taurus 905 to consider?
Do I ask too many silly questions in one post?;)

CG Product Reccomendations for Newbie
So I am brand, super duper new to embracing my curly hair, and I want to try the Curly Girl Method. And here's why.
After coloring and straightening my hair for years (my hair was actually pretty healthy) I decided to go blonde, but my hair got super damaged in the process. Long story short - the lady who did it screwed up so I had to get it done again to fix the color.
Rather than damaged my hair further by straightening it every day, I've decided to embrace my natural texture, but I need help. After reading around this site and others I've determined that I had type 2a, medium to coarse texture, low porosity, and highly dense hair.
I was hoping that you guys had some product recommendations for hair like this. Products that will work with the Curly Girl system. I essentially need everything - from conditioner to any leave in treatment. Any help would be infinitely appreciated! :smilebox:
Shea Moisture products are awesome! Their shampoos (all sulfate free) are gentle and moisturizing, and I love their raw shea butter restorative conditioner. I have low porosity as well. You're gonna want to do deep treatments with a heated cap or in a steamy bathroom/in the bath, etc because you need to open the cuticle to allow the moisture in.
My favorite leave in is kinky curl knot today. It's absolutely wonderful. Giovanni has a great leave in (direct leave in) and shea moisture has a few leave ins as well (curl and style milk, thickening growth milk...)
**Shea Moisture, Giovanni, and Kinky Curly are all available at target, and health food stores**
As for stylers, I'm not too familiar with wavy hair, but I am familiar with quite a few gels. Gels might be best because their harder hold will control frizz and puffiness while keeping the curl's shape. What I found in the beginning was that it was best to try a bunch of inexpensive gels to find what my hair likes best without spending too much money.LA looks gels have a bunch of selections for really good prices. Just choose what kind of hold you want (I would suggest 8-10) and try it. The most popular are the nutracurl and sport gels. Two more gels are the herbal essences totally twisted, and garnier fructis pure clean gel
**All gels (CG) available at drug stores and stores like target and walmart**
Natural oils are great to add to your conditioner for a deep treatment and they work wonderfully alone as a pre-shampoo treatment. Coconut oil and jojoba oil are the best for low porosity because they penetrate the hair cuticle easily.
If you have any questions specific to my post, feel free to message me! I would love to help as much as I can! :toothy10:
My holy grail products are most definitely the whole DevaCurl line! I don't use the whole line, but I'd vouch that all the products are amazing. When I started the curly girl method, my hair was dry and frizzy. Since I started using DevaCurl, my hair has become healthy, moisturized, and so much better looking! It's sulfate, silicon, and paraben free. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth the money. If you're just starting out? I'd recommend the basic 3-step, cleanse, hydrate, and define. Read through the definitions on the website to make sure you get the right kind. After a few weeks of the CG method, then you can decide what extra products you need. I also recommend watching videos on how to use the products. Also, American CREW military hair gel is amazing. It's the gel I'm using right now. I ran out of gel and borrowed it from my dad, and I fell in love with it. If you have super dry hair, use DevaCurl heaven in hair mask. My all time favorite hair product. Hope all this helps!:)
My hair loves cheap stuff. I love the suave clarifying shampoo & tropical coconut conditioner. I use the Eden body works deep condition twice a month. I also use garnier fructis conditioners.
I second the Deva line. I use the DevaCare products, because I found the DevaCurl cleanser to be too drying for me personally.
Cheaper stuff that I LOVE are V05 Kiwi Lime Squeeze Clarifying Conditioner, and the Yes To... conditioners.
Other people really love the Suave Naturals Coconut and the Tresemme Naturals. I use them on occasion, but find them pretty meh... Although I like the Tresemme for mixing in my spray bottle for a morning re-wet & scrunch.
The only gel I've found that I like and isn't all product-y after scrunchy it out is the Herbal Essences Set Me Up gel.
Shea butter may weigh your hair down, but it's worth a try to find out. I can't put it in my hair, it weighs it down horribly.
double post...sorry
If your hair is damaged I would question how your hair can be low porosity - the DIY tests have been debunked.
THE NATURAL HAVEN: Junk Science - Hair Porosity Tests / Float or Sink
Proven beneficial ingredients for bleach damaged hair include coconut oil, hydrolysed protein, ceramides, 18-MEA and panthenol. The major humectants can cause particular problems for damaged or porous hair especially in higher or low dew points.
I like the Komaza Care Matani repair treatment spray (ceramides, protein, panthenol), they also have the Matani leave in conditioner with similar actives. Also interesting is the Scientific Essentials hair conditioner (18-MEA, protein, panthenol). Then pure coconut oil for overnight soaks on dry hair.
Aussie instant freeze gel is the stuff!! Also I would reccomend shea moisture amd kinky curly. However since you are a wavy (I'm talking in general here), you want lighter more Volumizing stuff. Most wavies tend to follow a modified cg routine or atleast low poo because they can become over conditioned easily. I would highly reccomend a good trim to help with some of the damage. Also figure out if your hair loves protein or not. This will really help in figuring out how to get your hair back inshape

Edward Snowden's Christmas Message (Video Update)
Posted on Dec 24, 2013
Update (12/25 3:45 p.m. PST): Edward Snowden's alternative Christmas message demanding an end to mass surveillance was broadcast at 4:15 p.m. GMT. Original post follows below the video.
Snowden, who is responsible for opening our eyes to the omnipresence of the National Security Agency's surveillance, was recorded by filmmaker Laura Poitras in Russia where he's been granted temporary asylum. Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald have helped Snowden leak NSA documents and are now starting a news website funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar.
Although Snowden's dispatch isn't scheduled to appear on television until Wednesday afternoon, The Guardian has collected some snippets that have been televised in advance:
The whistle-blower's message, though filmed and broadcast on another continent, comes across crystal clear, especially his words on the conversation that wouldn't be possible today were it not for his efforts to inform society of the NSA's unjust methods. Now, as Snowden explains, it's our turn to effect change side by side and alter our dystopian reality.

From the Estadio Nacional de Chile in Santiago, Chile.
May 8, 2010
We get our usual video package hyping the main feuds leading into the PPV. The pyro hits and the announcer welcomes everyone to the PPV. All of a sudden Dmac's music hits and he comes out with a big smirk on his face. He gets in the ring and tells the crowd that tonight he was supposed to challenge Arsen for the AMLL World Title, but because of Arsen's injury, the match wont be taking place anymore. He says that tonight he will be crowned the new Champ by forfeit. The fans boo him and as Dmac is about to leave the ring, he is cut off by Joven Rayo. The young luchador tells Dmac that the fans here came to see a fight and they will get one. Tonight the powers that be have told him that a match for the vacant World Title is taking place and it will be himself and Dmac fighting for it. Dmac doesnt look too happy, as the fans start a Joven Rayo chant.
1st Match
The New World Army (Asako & Conti) vs The Divine Thugs
The New World Army was originally supposed to face A Mouthful of Awesome, but because of Sonik and Deportista's departure to Japan, this match ain't happening. The Leader of the New World Army, Abdul Akbar Alsam, gets on the mic and challenges anybody with any ba**s to come out and face his men. A remix of "Sadness" by Enigma and "All Eyez on Me" by Tupac starts playing and out come Reverend Rudy and The Black Sheep. Hardcore fans recognize the two Superstars...for those who don't know, they are both graduates of Mario Ganzo's wrestling school and Roberto's good friends. The Black Sheep is also a former CWA star, even tho he never actually competed on television for them. It looks like they are now part of AMLL. The match is good. The heels tried to slow down the match as much as they could with submission holds, while The Divine Thugs tried to use their speed and alot of high flying offence. Eventually The Black Sheep picked up the victory for his team when he hit Pierre Conti with his Black Buster finisher.
Winners: The Divine Thugs
2nd Match
Mendoza Torres & Mistery Partner vs Lupe Garza & Negro Judas
Garza and Judas come out first to a chorus of boos. Mendoza Torres comes out next and the place goes nuts. He gets in the ring and introduces his mystery partner...former CWA Superstar Rey Guerero. He comes out to a defeaning reception. People here really seem to love the little high flyer. The match didn't last long. Rey hit all his spots, before Mendoza put Negro away with the Psycho Driver.
Winners: Mendoza Torres & Rey Guerero
Logan V, unable to compete 'cause of his injury, is officially stripped of his AMLL Cruiserweight title and it is announced that tonight a Mini Tournament for the Vacant Title will take place. The four men who will participate in this tournament are CJ Franchise, Miguel de Blanco, Abdul Akbar Alsam and Gato Guerro.
3rd Match
Semifinal #1 for Vacant AMLL Cruiserweight Title
CJ Franchise vs Gato Guerro
CJ comes out first to loud jeers. Gato is out next and you can tell right away who the people are pulling for. Great match that could have gone either way. Gato almost had it won, when he nailed CJ with his 5* Gato Splash, but took way too long to go for the cover and CJ was able to kick out. Eventually CJ turned things around and got the win the Breathlizer.
Winner: CJ Franchise
4th Match
Semifinal #2 for Vacant AMLL Cruiserweight Title
Abdul Akbar Alsam vs Miguel de Blanco
Abdul might be the most hated wrestler in AMLL today. Miguel came out to one of the loudest pops. Alsam was warned a few times in this match by the ref for using dirty tactics. Eventually he was disqualified when he used a low blow on the fan favourite. He put a beat down on de Blanco, before security came out for the save.
Winner: Miguel de Blanco by DQ
5th Match
#1 Contender to the AMLL World Championship
Black Shadow fox II vs Kid Crazy
This was the match of the night without a doubt. Fans were totally behind Kid Crazy here. Alot of near falls by both men, but eventually Black Shadow picked up the win whe he nailed Crazy with his El Shadow Buster.
Winner: Black Shadow Fox II
6th Match
Final for the Vacant AMLL Cruiserweight Title
CJ Franchise vs Miguel de Blanco
Miguel came out with his ribs taped up. It seems Alsam did some damage. Miguel fought bravely, but CJ was too much for him and after working on his ribs for most of the match, he was able to lock him up in the S.E.S. for the submission and the win.
Winner and NEW AMLL Cruiserweight Champion: CJ Franchise
7th Match
Main Event for the Vacant AMLL World Title
Dmac vs Joven Rayo
Another great match that was given over 40 minutes. Fans were really into this match and clearly all behind Joven Rayo...but Dmac spoiled the party when he hit Rayo with the Revolutionizer for the pin.
Winner and NEW AMLL World Champion: Dmac
Dmac celebrated in the ring with his new Title, as the show went off the air.

Joven Rayo
Rey Guerero
Miguel de Blanco (especially in the final)

U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) today joined with Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) to introduce a Senate resolution fighting against cuts to Social Security benefits for seniors and disabled veterans through using the Chained Consumer Price Index (Chained CPI) to calculate cost-of-living adjustments.
"Chained CPI will fundamentally restructure Social Security and chain our seniors to poverty," Senator Mikulski said. "Using Chained CPI to calculate the cost of living assumes that when prices go up, consumers will substitute lower cost items. But consumers have no negotiating power when the costs of their housing, energy or health care go up. You can't substitute your insulin for an apricot. Protecting Social Security preserves the social contract we have with our seniors. We must ensure the safety and solvency of Social Security so that benefits are based on the reality of how our seniors live and what their costs are. Social Security must be undeniable, reliable and inflation proof."
Since 1975, Social Security benefits have automatically increased when prices rise so that seniors will have the same purchasing power with their benefits year after year. These adjustments help keep Social Security a guaranteed, lifetime and inflation-proof benefit. But several of the proposals for reducing the deficit that have been released include plans to change the way benefit increases are calculated so that benefits will fall further and further behind as prices rise each year.
Among the highlights of the Concurrent Resolution:
· The Social Security program has no borrowing authority, has accumulated assets of $2,700,000,000,000, and, therefore, does not contribute to the Federal budget deficit;
· The Board of Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund projects that the Trust Fund can pay full benefits through 2032;
· The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that using the Chained CPI to calculate Social Security COLAs would reduce Social Security benefits by 0.25 percent per year, resulting in a reduction in outlays of $127,000,000,000 over the first decade;
· Reductions in Social Security benefits from using the Chained CPI to calculate Social Security COLAs would continue to compound over time, and the AARP Public Policy Institute estimates that the reductions would grow to 3 percent after 10 years and 8.5 percent after 30 years;
· Social Security Works estimates that using the Chained CPI to calculate Social Security COLAs would reduce annual Social Security benefits of the average earner by $658 at age 75, $1,147 at age 85, and $1,622 at age 95;
· The Department of Veterans Affairs provides more than 3,200,000 veterans with disability compensation benefits as a result of injuries or illnesses sustained during, or as a result of, military service;
· Adopting the Chained CPI would also cut the benefits of more than 350,000 surviving spouses and children who have lost a loved one in battle by cutting Dependency Indemnity Compensation benefits that average less than $17,000 per year.
In addition to Senator Mikulski, the resolution introduced by Senator Harkin was cosponsored by Senators Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Kirsten Gilibrand (D-N.Y.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.).
National groups lending their support to this effort include: the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, the Alliance for Retired Americans, American Association of University Women, AARP, CREDO, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, MoveOn.org Civic Action, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, Social Security Works, the Strengthen Social Security Coalition, the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center, United Steelworkers, VetsFirst, and Wider Opportunities for Women.

Re: Camp for my 10 y.o. son?
I have a similar kind of son (8 years old) who can tend to annoy others, especially with his need to ALWAYS have someone to play with. I haven't found the perfect camp that combines everything he needs, but I do have a mix of camps that ends up working out pretty well. One week for the smart kid in him, alternating with a week for the super-active sporty kid he also is. He has absolutely LOVED The Berkeley Chess School Summer Camp. He is not a chess fanatic (just enjoys playing it) but still seemed to fit in perfectly with the kids there.

Does anyone have information Berkeley Chess School? Does your school offer Berkeley Chess School as an alternative? How is it working for you?
Berkeley Chess School is absolutely the BEST. They administer their program well and the my son's math and concentration has improved since starting the Chess class at his school. He has taken it two years now and still learns something in every class. Catherine
My school has the Berkeley Chess School for one of its enrichment programs. My son did it last year as a kindergartener, and LOVED it. I was astonished at how fast he picked it up, and even more astonished at how he was suddenly OK with both winning and losing (before chess, playing games with him could be a little nightmarish -- he'd do absolutely anything to avoid losing). He went to a week of their camp last summer, and now does the newspaper chess puzzle with his dad. This year he had to choose between chess and martial arts, and chose the latter, but it was a really tough choice. Karen

I noticed on the Berkeley Chess School website that they offer a summer camp program. Anyone have any experiences to share, especially regarding a 7 year old attending? Also curious to hear about the full day vs. half day programs. They've been doing the camp for 17 years and I couldn't find any reviews on the Parents Network website. Many thanks! Lise
My six-year-old attended the Berkeley Chess School's camp for a week last summer, and she loved it. We did the full-day option, which is basically a half day of playtime (good playground and art stuff is available) and a half day of fun chess class and games. The funny part was that when I asked her what she did in the ''free time'' half of the day, she always said she played more chess. They spent that time outside for the most part, from what I could see, but the kids were having so much fun with the chess that they just kept it up. Everything I've seen about the program and the staff is positive. I can recommend the camp for a young child. My now-seven-year old is going again this year. a camper's mom

The Berkeley Chess School is the best. Check out their website berkeleychessschool.org and a telephone number 510-843-0150 All sorts of great chess learning opportunities for kids of all ages and skill levels. My kids (7 and 10yrs now) have followed their programs - summer camps, afterschool classes, tutors, chess club and competitive local team for 4 years with great success and joy. Judith
Best place to start is the berkeley chess school. Phone number is 843-0150, or for private tutor Ben Russack was good working with our son who is now 7. He is USCF rated and has taught for 5 years. 510-665-6074 or email benjamin_russack AT hotmail.com. kathryn
The Berkeley Chess School is a good place to start. Visit berkeleychesschool.org. They run chess classes at bay area schools but also offer a friday night session and summer school. Mary

Now that the reviewers are done talking about what was missing from the iPhone 5s, some are taking a closer look at what the smartphone has that none of its competitors can claim: full-blown biometrics.
iPhone 5s introduces Touch ID, a James Bond-like way to securely unlock the device [Relevant Products/Services] with your finger -- or, more accurately, fingerprint. Touch ID is built into the smartphone's home button and uses a laser cut sapphire crystal, together with the capacitive touch sensor, to take a high-resolution image of your fingerprint. The technology analyzes the fingerprint and promises accurate readings from any angle.
The Touch ID sensor recognizes the touch of a finger so the sensor is only activated when you mean to activate it. That preserves battery [Relevant Products/Services] life. Addressing privacy concerns, Apple said fingerprint information is encrypted and stored securely in the Secure Enclave inside the A7 chip on the iPhone 5s. The data [Relevant Products/Services] is never stored on Apple servers or backed up to iCloud. Beyond unlocking the device, Touch ID can also be used as a secure way to approve purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store or iBooks Store. Is this secure enough to be the future of smartphone security [Relevant Products/Services] ?
Reliability and Security
We caught up with Paul Henry, security and forensic analyst at Lumension [Relevant Products/Services] , to get his take on Touch ID from a security perspective. He told us the fingerprint scanner has a potential to be a real game changer for personal device security -- if it's done right. As he sees it, there are two factors that will determine the real success of this new feature, which has undeniable potential: reliability and security.
"There's a lot riding on the reliability factor. Will it work if I go for a swim and try to use my phone with raisin hands? What if it's cold outside and my fingers have shriveled a bit? Can I use my phone then? he asked. "People aren't going to be happy if they're locked out of their phones because of environmental factors."
If it's not both reliable and convenient, users will turn it off, Henry said. He also questions the longevity. The Guardian posted a rumor that there will be a 500-scan limit, which could be used up in six months. Apple could not immediately be reached for comment, but that seems unlikely.
The Jury Is Out
On the security front, Henry is betting that Apple has erred on the side of usability before considering security. Still, Touch ID has to be more secure than a four-digit password, which could easily be cracked in older iPhones. But, then again, how safe is your fingerprint? Think about it for a minute. We leave our fingerprints everywhere -- and they are certainly all over the phone, Henry noted.
Next, Apple said it's securing the biometric data, but is it really safe? "They say it's encrypted and not shared with other applications, but we'll have to wait and see how it works in practice. We also need to know if it's a single sign-on approach. If a single fingerprint grants access to other services -- particularly iCloud -- that's a frightening prospect if Apple hasn't done a truly expert job at securing that local credential," Henry said. "Naturally, we'll continue to have more questions than answers until we can get our hands on some phones later this month to do some testing."
Henry's conclusion: right now all we have is hype. He's waiting for the facts that will inform him whether or not the iPhone 5s will truly be a game changer.

Would you breastfeed another woman's baby?
Sabrina Rogers-Anderson would. She doesn't get what the big freaking booby deal is anyway…
I would breastfeed a baby that isn't mine. There, I've finally said it. Granted, I could've confided in a girlfriend, but instead I've chosen to announce my freakishness to the world.
Now, let's get things straight. I wouldn't breastfeed a stranger's baby – although I know someone who has, but more on that later. I'd breastfeed a family member or a close friend's baby in a pinch. And I'm not even talking about a huge pinch, like one of those Hollywood blockbuster apocalyptic scenarios. I'd do it if the baby was hungry and it was the easiest way to feed it.
This thought process came about when my sister-in-law and I struck a deal to watch each others' girls one day a week in order to avoid day care. The only slight glitch in the plan was that her daughter flat-out refused to take a bottle. My sister-in-law tried everything to get her to accept her silicone surrogate, to no avail. In an attempt to ease her worry I half-jokingly said, "Well, I could just breastfeed her!" But when my suggestion was met with slightly horrified chortles from all family members present, I decided it was best to keep my enthusiastic "no, really!" to myself.
I made the same "joke" when I babysat a friend's baby, who is three weeks younger than mine, and I received the same reaction. So I half-heartedly decided to retire my hippie, share-the-boob philosophy for good. It's just not socially acceptable, apparently.
What is everyone's problem with boobs?
I have to be honest – I don't see anything gross about it. I'm a fitness and nutrition nut, so I'm pretty sure my breast milk is packed with goodness and I'd be perfectly happy to share it around. I'd also be fine with a close friend or family member breastfeeding my bub. Why is that so icky?
The only reason I can see is that we're so caught up in the idea that breasts are sexual that we worry it would be twisted in some way.
It's like when I hear people say that a woman who breastfeeds in public without cowering under an awkward breastfeeding cover is clearly trying to "provoke" others. Really? It seems to me she's probably just trying to feed her hungry baby, and I'm pretty sure turning on the masses is the furthest thing from her mind. My boobs are sexual when I'm in the bedroom with my husband, but they're a purely functional source of nourishment when I'm with my baby. But I don't like to displease others, so I cower awkwardly under my stupid cover, too.
We've sexualised boobs to such an extent that we now find it weird or gross for women to use them as nature intended.
Not that long ago …
I'll bet that women in primitive societies let those gazangas hang loose as they worked the fields, and babies just latched on to any old boob they could reach for a feed. It was all about community, not individualistic notions of my baby and my boob.
A lady I know who worked as a midwife for many years admitted to me one day that she'd fed a stranger's baby while she was on duty in hospital.
"The mother refused to feed her herself because she was 'too tired' and wouldn't let us give her formula, so I fed the poor starving bub myself," she explained. "This was in the '70s, when we were much more relaxed about these things and the threat of HIV hadn't yet emerged. Today, I'd be crucified for it. I'd lose my job."
This same woman also breastfed her sister's baby when she was babysitting him. Well, I say good on her. I'd do the exact same thing if I didn't fear being shunned by society.
Maybe I'll start a boob-sharing website. It could become a thing.
