Bmw x5 3.0d auto, tv gone.....
Hi guys,
Recently bought this e53 2005 x5 came with sat nav with tv upgrade, worked for first day then started having issues. Initially the radio would work for a few miles then sound would cut out. I seen threads on here regarding pulling fuses 7,72,73. Each time 7 was replaced the radio would work for a further 24 hrs or so. Decided to pull out the boot floor panel exposing battery etc i then delved deeper and found water under the battery. I removed the battery and the black cover which was also submerged. I have dried it all out and dried individual amps, pdc boxes and abs pieces. Turned everything bk on radio seems to be working fine which time will tell if its still intermittent.
The is no option on the satnav for television now. Any ideas? Has something shorted or burnt out? Where is the tv module located? Seems to be a lot of chat about intermittent radios but not really much on tv failure....
Any ideas would be a benefit. I have warranty with this car but if its simple ish ill do it myself.

LaVon Brazill has been waived by the Colts. Plagued by repeated injuries and off the field issues, the talented sixth-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft never was able to flourish in Indianapolis. Facing a year-long suspension due to multiple violations of the league's substance abuse policy, he will likely clear waivers and won't be picked up by another team.
Fantasy Analysis:
Brazill's only value was in dynasty formats. With this most recent suspension, he has lost all value and isn't even worth a deep bench stash anymore. He is safe to drop in all fantasy formats.

"Family style restaurant that has taken excellent care of service dogs in training and students. "
Jb's is always welcoming to the service dog group and all the staff go out of their way to be accommodating.
Service Dogs in training welcome here
It doesn't seem to matter how many dogs we have brought in there at a time...they welcome us with open arms each time. Once, we were in there with 6 dogs. The manager greeted us with a huge grin and said "Wow! This place has really gone to the dogs today!" and showed us to a large table where we could all be seated comfortably. The service is always great. The staff understands how to behave around dogs in training and it makes it so easy for us, especially when we are first introducing our dogs to public restaurants. Three cheers and five paws to JB's.

Alan Pardew was very relieved, but also delighted at the end of yesterday's game, in which his players secured one of the most important wins of the season.
Shola Ameobi chased by Barton after scoring yesterday
It was a water-shed game yesterday for Newcastle, against an in-form Wolves side, but every single player stepped up to the plate, and Newcastle came away with a tremendous 4-1 victory and jumped to 9th place in the league, and are now just a couple of points off 7th place.
While Newcastle are not safe yet, the club is 7 points above the drop zone with 7 games to play, and the number of chances Newcastle carved out yesterday was a great omen, and they put four of them away.
The goal of the game was just before the end, when Jonas Gutierrez, who again worked his socks off for the Newcastle cause, scored a sublime goal as he cut in from the left and hit beautiful swerving right foot shot past the helpless Hennessey.
And it was great to see Shefki Kuqi, of all people, embracing the Argentine on the sidelines after Jonas had put the icing on the cake for Newcastle. It showed the great camaraderie that's been in the Newcastle squad over the last two seasons.
It was noticeable yesterday just how much more committed the Newcastle players were than a short two years ago, when some of out star players didn't seem too interested when the games got tough.
But Newcastle knew they could expect a tough game from Wolves yesterday, and that's exactly what they got.
But there were a lot of good things Alan could take out of yesterday's display, and he also praised the medical staff, who managed to get a few players fit enough to play yesterday.
"It was worth the wait because it was a great victory for us," "Wolves are in tremendous form, coming into this game." "We worked very hard not just the staff but the medical staff as well to make sure we had a team out there that was worthy of Newcastle United."
"There was one or two that were really struggling and we managed to get a good 11 out on the pitch. The atmosphere in the stadium was terrific. We put Wolves under pressure and that constant pressure told."
"I think any level of football it's important to get the first goal," "It was a good goal, Shola was magnificent all day and dominated the two center halves, created it and Kev Nolan as you would expect finished it."
"It gave us the platform to go on, but you know when you have a young boy like Ferguson making his debut you need all the ingredients and we had that today." "The rest of the players were on form, the stadium was positive, and we're going to be a very difficult team to beat when we're like that."
Shola Ameobi looked impressive all game long, and as we said yesterday this lad has his critics among the fans, but yesterday everything he did showed the vast experience he has built up in his 11 years as part of the Newcastle first team.
And Shola got a very good goal just before half time, his 7th of the season, and his first in his mask, and it was a wonderful header.
So let's give Shola the credit he deserves.
realize, because Wolves are definitely in good form at the moment, and we even expect them to continue their good form in the remaining games.
But yesterday the skill and fighting spirit of the boys in black and white, was not to be denied, and they produced a wonderful win for their fans, in front of an excellent and relieved 50,000 crowd.
What's not to like about the guts and passion shown by this Newcastle team?

What would you pay for this '01 X5?
Just curious on what members think this X5 is worth. It's an 01 5 speed w/ 28k. Sport, DSP, Lumbar, Convenience, Moonroof, Xenon, Rear Airbags, and Self Levelling Suspension. No cold weather/heated seats or premium package (though most of the elements seem to be there). Not CPO'd.
Thanks for your opinion!
Link to last auction
Try checking CPO inventory in your area for a similar vehicle on bmwusa.com. Obivously, you should pay less from either a dealer or a private party. Use Edmunds.com or kbb.com to check private party prices for similarly equipped vehicles. Good luck.

Cabinet of Natural Curiosities takes an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink approach to music. The roving collective is the brainchild of New York native Jasmine Dreame Wagner, and combines elements of folk and electronica, spoken word and moody crooning, performed by an ever-evolving group of artists and musicians. Since Wagner moved to Missoula this summer to pursue her master's degree in creative writing, that group now includes a few members of the arts scene.
"The more people there are, the more possibilities for chaos," Wagner says. "It's always surprising to see how things change depending on who I'm playing with, and whether I'm alone or with a larger group it always seems to be different."
For the upcoming performance at The Lab, Wagner's been rehearsing with fellow creative-writing student and poet Brandon Shimoda, anti-folk singer-songriter Nathan Carter (aka Purrbot), This is a Process of a Still Life guitarist Scott Kennedy, Duel drummer Niki Payton and former Indy arts editor Andy Smetanka on saw. Wagner will bring her own guitar, vocals and field recordings to the mix.
"I don't want to call it multimedia because that implies there's video, which there isn't—yet," Wagner says. "But it is multimedia in the sense that we combine music, visual art and literature in the same performance."
The title for Wagner's amorphous pickup group comes from Albertus Seba's preeminent 18th-century book on natural history (the illustrated four-volume catalog references every biological specimen then known to man). Wagner adopted the name in New York when she first started playing almost two years ago, and tries to convey the spirit of Seba's work in all her performances.
"That idea of bringing everything together in this lush presentation is what's so appealing," Wagner says. "But right now I've only played with as many as eight other people. I'd love to someday compose a work for 40 or more. I'm always experimenting and I find the larger the scale, the better."
Cabinet of Natural Curiosities plays The Lab, 1009 Sussex Ave., Thursday, Nov. 9, at 7 PM. Travis Sehorn opens, Jason Anderson will follow. Donations accepted.

Nice idea
Those look to be a pretty nifty idea.
I saved your images, (I hope that's ok). I have a Cal21 that I wanted to put up and I also have had trouble locating stands that are sutiable. Granted the 1,500 pounds I am planning to support doesn't compare to your needs, but if properly executed,
you should be ok. If you need to you can always make more. Noah's boat was held up with wood, no? Good luck and work with many hands. Jim B.
One more thing
I can't see in the pictures but you might want to put squares of 3/4" plywood under the main load bearing timbers (maybe doubled up), to spread the load to help keep it from settling too much. Again, the best too you.
Jim B.
Wood is amazingly strong in compression, and those are built to take advantage of the strength. So I wouldn't worry about them failing. Being made of wolmanized wood, they could conceivably outlast metal ones
Depending on what the cost is, If you are any good with tools, it would be a simple thing to make up some custom stands using the threaded adjusters and plates on them, or buy your own:
Scaffold Swivel Jack - Scaffold, Scaffolding from ScaffoldMart
At six inch extension there's something like a 10,00lbs safe working load on them.
The stands look like they will work fine. I would be concerned about one detail that can easily be dealt with. The poppets[swivel pads] appear to be mounted into the vertical standards by drilling a hole in the end of the p.t. 4x4. If this union were to be side-loaded, it could split through the side of the 4x4 due to the allignment with the grain pattern in the wood. I would wrap the end with epoxy and glass tape, hose clamps, or even a whipping with parachute cord to prevent this. The poppets appear to be from Brownell or Hostar stands. Being the most expensive part of commercial stands, you could easily duplicate the lower halves with pipe and angle economically at a local welding shop if you wanted all metal stands. Metal stands are available through West Marine.[I buy them on my Port Supply account regularly.] They can also be ordered from the Hostar website.[they build hydraulic boat trailers similar to Brownell's]
Defender sells Brownell jack stands. They also sell the screw swivel tops if you want to make the bottoms of wood.
Your insurance company would likely laugh at your claim if/when these failed.
I know us boaters can be cheap but, given the price of proper stands, some things are just not worth doing on the cheap.
Why live by the insurance company? The insurance industry is a bunch of extortive bullshite anyway!
I don't see any thing wrong with that, my boat sat on a wood cradle for 15 yrs and not much more then those. I built the trailer with that very method and it works great. the sides seem to be more for stablelizing then to hold the weight

A field of eight will break from the gates for Saturday's Maryland Million Classic Stakes at Pimlico Race Course. The Classic is the highlight of the 12-race card devoted to the offspring of Maryland-based stallions. Post time for the first race is 12:35 p.m.Other races featured on the Maryland Million card include: Oaks; Turf; Lassie; Turf Sprint Handicap; Nursery Stakes; Distaff Handicap; Sprint Handicap; Ladies Stakes; and three starter races.
Presidentialaffair, 2003 Classic runner-up, is listed as the 4-5 morning line favorite for the 1 3/16-mile Classic test. The 5-year-old Not for Love gelding has won eight of 20 lifetime starts for earnings of $385,970. Trained by Marty Ciresa, Presidentalaffair has won a pair of stakes this year and was runner-up to Ghostzapper in the Iselin Handicap (gr. II). The Pennsylvania-bred Presidentialaffair will have the services of jockey Stewart Elliott, best known as the pilot of Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, both grade I, winner Smarty Jones. The pair will break from post eight.Challenging Presidnetialaffair will be Cherokee's Boy, a Maryland-bred son of Citidancer. The winner of the 2002 Maryland Million Nursery, Cherokee's Boy will break from post seven under 2002 Eclipse Award winner and top Maryland-based jockey Ryan Fogelsonger. Trained by leading Maryland conditioner Gary Capuano, Cherokee's Boy has two stakes wins to his credit this year, and most recently finished fourth in the Taking Risks Stakes at Timonium.In other Maryland Million Notes
The six-horse Maryland Million Turf is led by, Slew Valley, a Maryland-bred son of Valley Crossing. Under 126 pounds, Slew Valley will break from post four under Elliott.

Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS mobile operating system accounts for the majority of smartphone Web traffic generated in North America, according to the latest data from online ad network company Chitika. Chitika examined hundreds of millions of U.S. and Canadian online ad impressions during an approximately three-month period that ended on April 30. Based on the impressions derived from its vast network, Chitika estimated that Apple's iPhone accounted for 53.1 percent of the mobile Web traffic during this period.
Android — the open source mobile operating system developed by Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) — achieved a second place ranking during the same time period with a 44.5 percent share of mobile Web traffic in North America. Although Chitika's latest study didn't break down Android's market share by manufacturer, a previous study released by the ad network company in March showed that Samsung (SSNLF.PK) accounted for a 55.5 percent share of North American Android-based Web traffic.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows Phone mobile operating system moved into third place in North American web traffic usage. However, this was primarily due to the continuing usage share decline of struggling Canadian smartphone maker BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY). Although Windows Phone usage remained essentially flat during the three-month time period, previously third-ranked BlackBerry saw its market share slip from over 1.0 percent to 0.8 percent. BlackBerry's decline allowed Windows Phone to claim the No. 3 spot in North American mobile Web traffic share. However, Windows Phone still only accounted for a paltry 1.0 percent of mobile Web traffic in North America. Another 0.6 percent of Web traffic was attributed to "Other" mobile operating systems.

The main event, scheduled for five rounds, will air live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).

"Pat has been around the sport a long time and has put together an impressive winning streak. This is the biggest fight of his life and he doesn't want to waste this opportunity."
The co-main event will feature recently crowned STRIKEFORCE World Grand Prix Heavyweight champ and San Jose's own, Daniel Cormier, returning to the cage to take on his next challenge, as he looks to keep his unbeaten streak intact and prove he truly is one of the best in the division. Cormier's opponent will be announced in the coming days.

Winner of his last seven bouts and having not tasted defeat since 2008, Gilbert Melendez (fighting out of San Francisco, Calif. by way of Santa Ana, Calif.) returns to the STRIKEFORCE cage looking to cement his place as the world's best 155-pound fighter. At 21-2, "El Niño" has career wins over fighters such as Josh Thomson, Clay Guida, Tatsuya Kawajiri, Shinya Aoki, Jorge Masvidal and Rodrigo Damm, the Cesar Gracie-trained fighter is more than ready to solidify his status as the division's premiere fighter when he faces his toughest test to date on September 29 in Sacramento.
Following a unanimous decision victory over Mizuto Hirota on July 14 in his home state of Oregon to extend his winning streak to five, Pat Healy (fighting out of Portland, Ore.) secured a date with the STRIKEFORCE lightweight champ. At 30-15, the 28-year-old "Bam Bam" has racked up wins over marquee names like Carlos Condit, Dan Hardy and Paul Daley, and is currently riding a five-fight win streak that includes STRIKEFORCE victories over Caros Fodor and Maximo Blanco. Having fought his entire career for this opportunity, fans can expect fireworks when this grappling ace puts his skills to the test against the elite striking prowess of Melendez.
Two-time U.S. Olympic wrestler and current STRIKEFORCE World Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier (fighting out of San Jose, Calif.) meets his first opponent since defeating former UFC titleholder Josh Barnett in the finals of the heavyweight tournament last May. Since putting gold around his waist, the undefeated 10-0 AKA-trained fighter has vowed to prove he is as good as advertised and offered to fight anyone that's put in front of him. "DC" owns additional decisive victories over Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, Jeff Monson and Devin Cole and will look to use his superior wrestling ability to knock off yet another heavyweight foe.

Jan. 18, 2013
BLACKSBURG, Va. - Competing in its second meet of the 2013 indoor season, the University of Tennessee track & field team was led by newcomers on day one of the Virginia Tech Invitational, as the Vols and Lady Vols challenged 14 squads at the Hokies' Rector Field House in Blacksburg, Va.
Freshman Cameron Brown, who led the Vols in the field at last week's Kentucky Invitational by setting a UT freshman record and winning the event, got the meet started by taking second place in the men's weight throw. Brown tossed the 35-pound weight 57 feet, 7 3/4-inches on his sixth and final throw.
Fellow Vol Drew Thomas had a toss of 56-11 1/2 on his second attempt in the men's weight throw, a mark that was good for third place.
Tennessee's Terrance Livingston, who returned to the squad this winter, picked up the lone UT win on the opening night of the meet. The Great Neck, N.Y., native cruised around the 200-meter, banked track at Rector Field House in 1 minute, 3.65 seconds to win the men's 500-meter. His teammate Antonio Carter followed in third place in a personal-record time of 1:04.77.
For the Lady Vols, newcomer Hannah Davidson - a graduate student transfer from Providence College - led the Big Orange women in the mile, placing second after crossing the line in 4:51.57. Davidson, who was just .23 seconds behind the race winner in her UT debut, was followed by junior Amber Zimmerman, who recorded a personal-best 4:52.76 mile.
Senior thrower Jessie Harrison added a runner-up performance for the Lady Vols, as she posted a mark of 58-5 1/4 in the women's weight throw, while junior Kianna Ruff contributed a third-place finish in the women's 500m. Ruff, an indoor All-American, crossed the line in a personal-record 1:11.86.
After advancing out of the 60m preliminary round, senior Vol sprinter Arnez Hardnick placed fifth in the finals with a career-best mark of 6.84 seconds.
The Big Orange is back in action at Rector Field House on Saturday. The first events - the high jump and pole vault - are set to begin at 11 a.m. The action will conclude with the men's and women's 4x400-meter relays.

Christchurch - Conrad Smith scored two tries as
the Hurricanes kept their Super Rugby playoff hopes alive
with a 23-22 victory over the Crusaders in a Christchurch
thriller on Saturday.
Crusaders replacement back Tyler Bleyendaal
came up short with a penalty from halfway in the 80th minute to allow
the visitors to take the spoils and some revenge for the 42-14 defeat
they suffered earlier this season.
"That is pretty pleasing to
beat this bunch after they put 40 on us at home," Hurricanes skipper
Smith said in a pitchside interview.
"They are too good a side to let them play, you've got to get up and shut them down."
Quite how the Hurricanes won a match where they nearly conceded a try
in the second minute and were distinctly second best at the set piece as
well as in the disciplinary stakes will have baffled more than a few
fans at Rugby League Park.
Missing All Blacks Dan Carter, Kieran
Read and Israel Dagg to injuries sustained in the international window,
the seven-times champion Crusaders now face a crunch meeting with the
competition-leading Chiefs in Hamilton on Friday.
one of those days where we did some good things and we also did some
pretty dumb things, so disappointing," Crusaders captain Richie McCaw
The Crusaders started with the good things and Tom Taylor,
deputising for Carter at flyhalf, kicked the first two of his five
penalties to give the Crusaders a 6-0 lead in the 11th minute.
The Hurricanes were brought to life by the first of Beauden Barrett's
three penalties in the 15th minute and a minute later they had taken the
lead with Smith's try after brilliant work from Hurricanes fullback
Andre Taylor.
Tom Taylor had added another penalty when Crusaders
wing Zac Guildford ran 70 metres through two tackles with a
blistering turn of pace to score his team's only try in the 37th minute
and put the home side 16-10 ahead.
The Hurricanes snatched the
advantage back immediately, however, when Smith somehow snaked his way
through the defence to score his second try and Barrett converted to
send the visitors into the break 17-16 up.
Tom Taylor added
another penalty immediately after the restart and his fifth in the 54th
minute but Barrett responded with two of his own in the 65th and 72nd
minutes to set up the dramatic finale.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Restaurants, bars and apartments that have risen in The Banks project have enlivened Cincinnati's riverfront, but the development is still far from achieving earlier visions.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/1fEi4pp ) that only a portion of the 18-acre site between stadiums where the Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati Bengals play has been built up as planned. The goal of a mixed-use urban neighborhood is still missing key pieces such as a hotel, office building, condos and retail shops.
There's a 300-unit apartment building soon to be joined by a luxury apartment building, and condos are still part of future plans. Efforts to draw a hotel and retailers are continuing.
There are more than a dozen eateries and bars. But one restaurant owner says business is slow when there is no major event.

NASCAR is one of the most followed sporting events in North America, a truly Amrican tradition, families from across the nation tune in every race day to watch their favorites duke it out on the track. The high powered vehicles, extremely high speeds and competitiveness of it all draw in fans from around the world. In stark contrast to the global favorite Formula 1 races, NASCAR favors more muscle, the stock cars provide an awesome sight for anyone watching.
On Saturday, the Brickyard 400 happened, if you follow racing at all, you for sure know what this is, one of the biggest events of this time of year, the race was great for some, and not so great for others. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday, there were some interesting results after all the drivers had crossed the finish line.
Amongst the winners were Jamie McMurray, a man who put himself in the history books by winning the two biggest races of the season; this placed him amongst the elite drivers. Kevin Harvick, the overall points leader landed himself in second place, the runner up position further proves that he has championship potential. Competing against some of the most brilliant drivers in the sport, and finishing second is a great accomplishment.
Greg Biffle led for 38 laps in a fast paced race. He ended up finishing third after being outmaneuvered by the more patient McMurray and Harvick. A top five finish is great for his overall placement amongst the top drivers on a national scale.
In contrast, one of the most shocking results of the race was the fact that Juan Pablo Montoya didn't even finish the race. He led for several laps, but ended up using the wrong pit strategy in an attempt to gain position in the pack, and wrecked his car. Jeff Gordon, one of the most celebrated drivers, was doomed to a 23rd place finish after a flat tire cost him precious time. Even though he was off all day, the tire incident really set him back. The NASCAR circuit continues to heat up, these guys are eager for more races as the 2010 season goes on, be sure and check it out at www.scoresandodds.com, home of the best sports betting data on the internet.

Real Salt Lake has landed U.S. under-20 national team captain Kyle Davies through a lottery, adding another player with European experience to its roster. Davies, 20, has spent the last two years in the Southampton FC youth system.
"One thing we have done with our team and have had quite a bit of success with is finding players that
have some experience playing in Europe," Real general manager Garth Lagerwey said. "Europe can be tough, it's competitive. Once a player has been over there
and dealt with the pressure and he knows what it is all about, we feel that they are grateful for the opportunity to come into MLS and be able to play at that level and live in a great place and
contribute to our team."
Lagerwey says RSL was lucky to land Davies. "We only had a five percent chance of getting him," he said, "and things went our way. The league uses these
lotteries for national team players that for different reasons do not go through the draft."

The Utah Philanthropy Day Planning Committee announced today a new partnership with UServeUtah, the Lieutenant Governor's Commission on Service and Volunteerism. Utah's Philanthropy Day, which is currently hosted by Utah Nonprofits Association (UNA) and the Utah Society of Fundraisers (USFR), is led by a committee of nonprofit, business, and government leaders. The committee anticipates Utah Philanthropy Day will become an even stronger collaboration through the merging of two audiences that go hand-in-hand: philanthropy and volunteerism.
"We are confident that this partnership will create a distinguished event where we recognize Utah's best volunteers alongside Utah's best philanthropists," said Utah Nonprofits CEO Chris Bray and USFR Chair Katherine Fife noted "The partnership among USFR, UNA, and UServeUtah will only strengthen the spirit of Philanthropy Day and help recognize those who are making a difference every day with their time and resources."The 2014 program has been expanded to include two awards that have been housed under the UServeUtah for the past 20 years; the Governor's Lifetime Achievement Award and the Lieutenant Governor's Civic Volunteer Award. Other Philanthropy Day award categories include: Foundation Spirit of Giving Award, Corporate Spirit of Giving Award, Outstanding Young Volunteer Award, Norma Matheson Outstanding Volunteer Award, and the Career Humanitarian Award. Nominations for the award are due by May 30, 2014.
"We are excited to become a partner with Utah Philanthropy Day" indicated LaDawn Stoddard, Executive Director of UServeUtah. "It seemed to be a natural fit to meld two groups who seek to enhance the well-being of their communities through kindness and generosity."
This year Philanthropy Day will present the winners of these awards to an audience of over 700 at the annual luncheon slated for November 13, 2014 at Little America in Salt Lake. For information regarding nominations for the Philanthropy Day Awards visit www.utahphilanthropyday.org.

Project Violin (Fall 2010) Wayne Shen
Wayne Shen is developing Project Violin, a new venture that will provide high-level violin instructional videos online.
This service aims to mitigate the decline in violin instruction in grade schools around the country and the high cost of private lessons. Project Violin will serve as an educational resource for students who may not otherwise have the opportunity to access high-level instruction, and will also provide an alternative mode of study that utilizes the Internet, a medium that is central to the lives of young students today.

Much has been made of the gorgeous clothes and perfect styling of Mad Men, but for many viewers it's the interiors which are the real stars; Don Draper's double-headed desk lamp, Pete's office sofa and Betty's padded velvet headboard are all the subject of desperate online pleas from frustrated amateur designers keen to recreate the look.
Then there is Wallander, another current series gripping keen interior design fans by its look as much as its acting and plot lines. This famously morose Swedish detective never sleeps in his bed if he can nod off in his incredibly stylish leather chair with a glass of wine, and his police station is decorated with mosaics that wouldn't look out of place on the cover of glossy magazine Elle Deco.
The makers of both programmes have paid huge attention to the details, and suddenly uncluttered, simple furniture in muted colours with sleek lines feels totally right for now. So what is this style and, more importantly, where can we get it?
Wallander is a homage to the mid-century modern style that was led by the Scandinavians and is still going strong today – a perfect marriage of form and function with objects made from natural materials in colours that reflect the sometimes harsh environment outside.
The look of Mad Men is a faithful representation of the American take on Scandinavian style, says David Tatham, an expert on the design of this period, adding that both shows are spot-on for detail. "Wallander has an understated cool that represents Scandinavian design," he says. "It's not just a stylised look for the programme: people really do live like that. It's about beautiful things that are not flashy but simple. Mad Men, on the other hand, is very stylised and represents the American take on modern Danish design. Of course, the US had its own designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, but they were interpreting that style."
In an interview with Interior Design, Amy Wells, set designer for Mad Men and fashion designer Tom Ford's A Single Man, set in 1962, explained how she got the look: "I've gone through nearly every early decorating magazine and book, such as Fifties Furniture, from 2005, Creative Home Decorating, The Doubleday Book of Interior Decorating and Encyclopedia of Styles, and Inside Today's Home, the last three from the 1950s and 1960s.
"We go with period colours with different saturations from today; for example, the Sterling Cooper office has a lot of medium blue and muted green. Palettes complement each actor. The complexion of Don Draper (Jon Hamm), for instance, looks good against blue. Betty Draper (January Jones) is very blonde, so we surround her with more contrast, like the French blue grass-cloth walls of the Draper house living room or the tan-black plaid wallpaper in the kitchen. Since Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks) is a redhead, we're careful what we put her against, steering clear of pinks and oranges."
This isn't as strange as it might sound. The Georgians would decorate to reflect well on the hostess's looks. Says Tatham: "For those who like beautiful design and have the sensibility for an unfussy, cool home, the Wallander style is achievable and, in my opinion, timeless. Likewise it is possible to fill your home with 1960s furniture and lighting and get that stylised look of Mad Men. You don't even need to buy the originals as there is a lot of furniture inspired by the Danish Modern interior like G-Plan and Ercol, both widely available."
If you prefer to buy new then look out for clean lines. Sofas have legs and are not the mass of cushions we are used to lounging on today. Try Habitat's Ella sofa, and John Lewis stocks Robin Day chairs.
If you're shopping for the original Scandi look then be nice to the bank manager as the big names – Jacobsen, Saarinen and Henningsen – are classics and don't come cheap.
But if you don't want to be retro, there's a new generation of Scandinavians producing the future classics. Look out for Muuto, Iittala and Normann Copenhagen. Newhouse textiles has a wonderful range of fabrics and kitchenware inspired by Swedish designers – check out the herring table mats – and visit 95percentdanish.com for wall stickers, cushions and other accessories, not forgetting Skandium, where you can buy chairs, kitchenware and lighting. Design House Stockholm is another good place – they will ship to this country. And don't forget flat pack: read Stieg Larsson's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo for a comprehensive list of Ikea furniture to be inspired in a more affordable way.

The Making of the English Landscape (Penguin History) (edition 1999)
by W. G. Hoskins
Work details
The Making of the English Landscape by W. G. Hoskins
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Brilliant field guide for seeing the hidden messages of the past in the landscape of England as you walk the country.
Rightly regarded as a classic in its field an early pioneer in the field of landscape studies. First published in the mid-50s and only now beginning to show its age. A meta-study bringing together many strands to help us interpret and understand what we see around us. Using not only the obvious sources of old maps and records but also poetry and landscape painting. In the sixty years since its first publication there are changes to the landscape that we can all see. The industrial north has been de-industrialised and cleaned up. Slag heaps from coal mines can only be seen in old photographs. And the network of six and eight lane motorways has carved new marks into the land. What will the next half century bring?
As a keen student of local history, I am used to looking at history post industrial-revolution, along with a smattering of older items, such as castles and the like. I also had a basic knowledge of the development of green roads, and later turnpikes, and other forms of transportation. But Hoskins looks far deeper than that, at the way that towns developed and why they differ so much, at field history, and at the abandonment of some townships. If I were to criticise the book at all (and it is something that the author himself admits to), it is that his best examples all tend to come from the same parts of the country. For much of the book, it is the making of the Cornish and East Midlands Landscape. That said, it is well worth anyone reading, whether they have an interest in, or a love of, the English countryside, or local history. And the Folio Society edition which I read is in itself a beautiful version.
Would it be sad to say that one of my 'comfort' books is 'The Making of the English Landscape' by W G Hoskins. I think I read in the flyer that one critic said that it was rare that a single book comes along and heightens your consciousness of your surroundings. That's why every now and then I have to dip back into it to bring me back to that ethereal state of awareness - or else I'm in danger of being numbed by the effects of today's busy and stressful lifestyle.
I think the book was originally written in the 1950's but it is still revolutionary in its outlook - with its main tenet that even the wildest moors of Britain have been shaped by the hand of man. Even more remarkable is the fact that with a little insight you can still see the marks that our ancestors left over 10,000 years ago.

I dont know if this can help:
I had the right connector wiper motor TSB done this summer. Upon taking my car back, I have notice that the exterior black molding that cover the whole base of the windshield (and the wiper motors) was not clipped/snapped correctly back in place. I had to do it myself. Theyre was a good 1/8 inch of open space between the molding and the base of the windshield. The molding/trim piece should fit very snuggly against the base of the windshield.
Doing this, I also noticed that the 2 large vents located near the wiper arms had loose cover on them. I have secured the cover so they dont jiggle anymore.
While upgrading my air filter to a K&N, I have noticed that the battery cover was loose aswell...The cover is in 2 pieces. You must secure the rear part first, and you are going to love this if you got big hands. Once the rear part is firmly secured, you can attached the front part to it.
Doing this got rid of a weird buzzing giant fly like sound I had when accelerating with the car. And no, it wasnt the actual car engine noise :)
Also, check for loose roof molding ''rails''. One member here had one of them ''fly away'' due to faulty assembly. I have a loose one on the right side but I dont think it's loose enuff to fly away. I keep an aye on this gy every time I wash the car to see if it becomes ''looser''

National Science Board Meets September 22 in Fairbanks, Alaska
Board members also visit NSF-supported geophysical and biological sciences research facilities
On Monday, September 22, 2008, the National Science Board (NSB) holds the fifth of its six annual meetings at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). The NSB's annual meetings address national science and engineering policy issues and oversight of the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSB selected this location to recognize UAF's significant role in Arctic research in this International Polar Year.
In addition to the public meeting, NSB members will meet in closed session to conduct board business as well as tour several geophysical and biological sciences research facilities located at or near the Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR), including the Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (AMISR) antenna, LIDAR (light detection and ranging) Observatory, Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed, Bonanza Creek Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) site, a potential future National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) core site, and Poker Flat Research Range rocket launch pads.
An agenda can be found on the NSB website at http://www.nsf.gov/nsb/meetings/2008/0922/index.jsp.
The NSB, established by Congress in 1950, provides oversight for and establishment of the policies of the National Science Foundation. The 24-member board meets six times each year, usually five times at the NSF headquarters and once in another part of the country. The board selected UAF for its 2008 off-site meeting and retreat so that board members could experience firsthand the NSF-supported facilities in Fairbanks and learn more about UAF's participation in science and engineering initiatives.
Media representatives are invited to attend the open sessions, subject to provisions of the Government in the Sunshine Act.
Media Contacts

"entry level" is on of those salesman gimmick buzzwords. like your going to have a ar-15 with training wheels or something then graduate to a REAL ar-15?? LOL!
without the particulars on either weapon i can't say one over the other. either sho0uld be fine though i would lean to the red jacket version as it is not a mass produced variant.
in the building world a "entry level" ar-15 would go for more like $500 sometimes even a bit less. in the mall ninja world the more it cost the better it is.
sometimes you do get a little more, the trick is to know where that extra $$ should be spent and spend the money saved on good mags and ammo.--lots and lots of ammo--LOL

Ed Miliband: the police caution
The husband and I were out at the Faculty this afternoon (preparing a party for returning alumni) when the result of the Labour leadership election was announced. I'm not sure how curious we really were to find out which Miliband had been elected -- and not sure what difference it would make anyway (I guess if I had still been a member of the Labour Party I would have thrown my vote away on Diane Abbott).But we turned on the BBC News on the computer in the office to see it anyway.
The husband has had strong views on most of the candidates. On Miliband (E), the victor as it turns out, he has had little time for the line about how he was against the Iraq War, ID cards and the rest. True, he may not have been in parliament when we took the decision to invade Iraq. But did we actually hear him objecting from the sidelines?
Not a bit of it.
It's easy to pull your morality out of the bottom drawer a few years later, if you weren't formally implicated in the decision; but that's not the point. The average criminal when arrested, has the caution read out: "You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you fail to mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court..."
Doesn't that apply to the line of the young Miliband. No head above the parapet when we needed him, and now it's all about how he was on the side of the good all along. It hasn't convinced the jury in Cambridge. Particularly because it was he who wrote the botched Labour manifesto for the last election.
But we will see.
Meanwhile, for something more cerebral, you can see me having a go at writing an All Souls Prize Fellowship essay here.
I did it in an hour, no cheating -- though following the advice of friends who knew about this particular competition: be clever, abstruse, witty, a bit from left field..and play to your classical strengths.
See what you think.
PS. Sunday morning ..... I dont usually add to posts once they are posted, but we woke up to the radio finding plenty to say about the history of brothers in politics, re Dave and Ed. Surprisingly, they missed a classical trick. The obvious pair who came into my mind were, of course, Romulus and Remus, and we know what happened to them. (For those who cant recall -- Romulus killed Remus, after Remus had jumped over the walls of Romulus' new city).
So maybe it would be wise for Dave to call it a day and get out of politics. But where? If all you have ever done is work in the Labour party machine, you're not trained for much. Maybe, the husband mused, he should go back to Oxford and do a DPhil?

Anyways they just called me saying they are almost done with the car. They replaced the Heads up unit which they said mostly fixed the blur problem. The other part is they cannot tell if I have the proper winshield (If you have HUD you have a different, much more expensive winshield, $1000+). They think replacing the winshield should completely fix it but GM is on backorder because they are in the process of making a new winshield for HUDs. Wonder what is differant.

Print numbers to ASCII file with precise column widths

by old Fortran programs, which expect numbers in precise formatted
columns, e.g., "FORMAT(I5,F10.3,E10.5)". I've been trying all sorts
of variations of PaddedForm, FortranForm, OutputForm, .....
Here's an example with a simple negative integer:
strm = OpenWrite["testout.txt"];
WriteString[strm, ToString[ PaddedForm[-11, 5] ] <> "\n"];
WriteString[strm, "1234567890"];
The font in this post doesn't show it, but the "-11" ends in the 6th
column, not the 5th. And then I need to tackle floats with
exponents!! I obviously don't understand the underlying Mathematica

OK, I got a little misty.

The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love, I would sleep,
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack; brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts,
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light.
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before.
My Gramps died at Pearl on a day in December."
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas Gram always remembers."
"My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ' Nam ',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures; he's sure got her smile."
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
"I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life for my sister or brother,
Who stand at the front against any and all
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside," he said, "Harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least?
Give you money," I asked, "Or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
for being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
that we mattered to you as you mattered to us."
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
OK, I got a little misty.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
somethings wrong with my screen too.
It is pardonable to be defeated but never surprised.

A Marines Night Before Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of plaster & stone.
I had come down the chimney with presents to give
And to see just who in this home did live.
I looked all about a strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.
With medals and badges, awards of all kind
A sober thought came through my mind.
For this house was different, so dark and dreary,
I knew I had found the home of a Marine, once I could see clearly.
I heard stories about them, I had to see more
So I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.
And there he lay sleeping silent alone,
Curled up on the floor in his one bedroom home.
His face so gentle, his room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured a United States Marine.
Was this the hero of whom I'd just read?
Curled up in his poncho, a floor for his bed?
His head was clean shaven, his weathered face tan,
I soon understood this was more than a man.
For I realized the families that I saw that night
Owed their lives to these men who were willing to fight.
Soon 'round the world, the children would play,
And grownups would celebrate on a bright Christmas day.
They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year,
Because of Marines like this one lying here.
I couldn't help wonder how many lay alone
On a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home.
Just the very thought brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to my knees and started to cry.
The Marine awakened and I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry, this life is my choice;
I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more,
my life is my God, my country, my Corps."
With that he rolled over and drifted off into sleep,
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.
I watched him for hours, so silent and still,
I noticed he shivered from the cold night's chill.
So I took off my jacket, the one made of red,
And I covered this Marine from his toes to his head.
And I put on his T-shirt of gray and black,
With an eagle, globe and anchor patch embroidered on back.
And although it barely fit me, I began to swell with pride,
And for a shining moment, I was a United States Marine deep inside.
I didn't want to leave him on that cold dark night,
This guardian of honor so willing to fight.
Then the Marine rolled over, whispered with a voice so clean and pure,
"Carry on Santa, it's Christmas Day, all is secure."
One look at my watch, and I knew he was right,
Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night!
Please be sure to remember our service men and women during this holiday season...
An armed society is a polite society
Thanks for posting those. Thank you to all of our service men & women. Now, I need to figure out why my screen is getting blurry on me.
And I thought my glasses were just fogged.

Assuming Identity
Josh Rolnick, The Sh'ma Institute, March 2011
Our ability to embrace and rejoice in the full plurality of possibilities of Jewish peoplehood- and the individual Jews who make up that people- rests on our capacity to look beyond the certainty that we know what a Jew looks like. It is time to "step outside" the box and question the deep assumptions held about the physical appearance of Jews.

Katie and Mark's Wedding
"Castle Hill is a beautiful site. My parents had their wedding reception there 36 years ago and it was wonderful for many of our guests to be able to relive it all over again this past September. The only complaint my mother gave me was that she was rushed to get "everything" out of the house and into the car at 8pm by the Castle Hill coordinator. This was all the gifts and centerpieces, decor, etc. She was very upset that she was rushed to leave the party at 8pm to do this when we had the place until 10pm. It did seem a bit early to be rushing the mother of the bride out and also early to be taking down centerpieces since we had just finished dinner. You could not ask for a better view though."
