MRC Withholds Accreditation of Nielsen's December PPM Survey. Ratings giant Nielsen Audio has released the first round of data from its December 2016 PPM survey (November 3-30) but it does so without accreditation for the 26 markets that the Media Rating Council has previously accredited. This stems from Nielsen's PPM connectivity issues that affected the first week of the December survey. Here's what the MRC had to say in a statement: "Since the PPM connectivity disruption, Nielsen has shared information with MRC about the outage, Nielsen Audio's recovery efforts, and related data analyses Nielsen Audio has performed. However, MRC believes the data analyses related to this incident with which we have been presented by Nielsen Audio, in addition to Nielsen Audio's response to a series of questions related to the incident that MRC has raised to Nielsen Audio, are incomplete, and therefore MRC and its Radio Committee and its Board of Directors are unable to conclude as yet on this matter. Nielsen has committed to continue to work with MRC on this issue. Therefore, MRC has chosen to withhold its accreditation for the December PPM reports to which it would otherwise have been applicable until we receive responses and appropriate analyses of the impacted data that we deem satisfactory to address these concerns. We will update the marketplace at a future time should this situation change and we believe these issues have been sufficiently addressed to reinstate MRC accreditation of the December 2016 PPM estimates."
Nielsen Audio Releases Round One of December 2016 PPM Data. The first of four rounds of December 2016 PPM ratings data from Nielsen Audio has been released for 12 markets including: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Nassau-Suffolk (Long Island), Riverside, San Jose, and Middlesex-Somerset-Union (New Jersey). The December 2016 survey period covered November 3-30. You can find the complete 6+ ratings numbers from subscribing stations here. Additionally, TALKERS/RadioInfo managing editor Mike Kinosian provides his "Twelve Takeaways" from this group on the main page of our sister publication here.

CEO Gary Nell to Exit NPR to Head Up National Geographic. NPR CEO Gary Nell announces he's leaving the public radio company after 21 months on the job. In a letter to staff, he says, in part, "As president and CEO, supporting NPR's success – your success – has been my highest ambition. Working together, we have put NPR on more solid footing to continue to deliver the highest-quality journalism and programming. We have launched innovative new platforms and made meaningful strides in attracting new audiences and new funding. We have promoted a series of collaborations in news gathering, development, and a digital future. And we have an exceptionally strong leadership team in place that is charting an ambitious path for our future. We also face challenges, including the mandate to bring NPR to break-even cash operations. We are completing a plan to focus our limited resources which support our essential services to stations and audiences. We will present that plan to the Board soon, go over it carefully, and make it a reality." Nell took over the reins of NPR in December of 2011 after the high-profile departure of former CEO Vivian Schiller. During her tenure, Juan Williams was fired after making comments on Fox News Channel admitting to feeling nervous when seeing people dressed in Muslim garb on airplanes. Also, NPR fundraiser Ron Schiller (no relation) was recorded denigrating conservatives at a lunch meeting.
Boston Herald Reports Kevin Graham Will Succeed Jason Wolfe at WEEI-FM, Boston. There is no confirmation from Entercom Boston market manager Jeff Brown about the Boston Herald's recent report that KFNZ, Salt Lake City "1320 KFAN" program director and afternoon drive co-host Kevin Graham will take over the program director post at the station. According to his bio on the KFNZ website, Graham was one of the key architects of KFNZ back in 1996 and has worked as programmer at KTAR-AM, Phoenix; WXYT, Detroit and other sports talk outlets. In addition to programming KFNZ, Graham co-hosts the Gunther & Graham pm drive show with Kyle Gunther. Longtime program director Jason Wolfe exited the station last week and the Boston media is rife with speculation about the status of the station's air talent – especially morning duo John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. CBS Radio's crosstown WBZ-FM "The Sports Hub" has been topping WEEI-FM in recent ratings reports. Still, the Herald also reports that Dennis and Callahan have been assured that they are not on the chopping block at this point.
Brent Seltzer and Meg McDonald ("Brent & Meg") Sign Up as Charter Members of TalkersRadio Lineup. The married couple team of "Brent & Meg" (Brent Seltzer and Meg McDonald, pictured below) join the initial lineup of the soon-to-be-launched experimental internet talk station, TalkersRadio. They will be hosting a Monday through Friday, two-hour Los Angeles-based program titled, "The Brent & Meg Show," that will stream live between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm ET with possible re-streams at other times during the following 24 hours. According to TalkersRadio GM David Bernstein, "There never has been a 'Brent & Meg Show' prior to TalkersRadio. They are coming together to do this specifically because the station is designed for these kinds of experiments. Although they've been married for 28 years and have been in the media business doing everything from amazing short-form features to ground-breaking public relations campaigns for years, the idea of them being on the air live as a team hosting a long-form talk show is the brainchild of Michael Harrison who has been after them to do this for over two years now since hearing them bounce off each other in the ongoing short-form feature 'Brent Seltzer, Still at Large.' "I am excited about the potential of this show. We envision it to be in the tradition of the classic husband/wife chat shows of the golden era – except with its focus fully planted on a 21st century foundation." The short-form feature "Brent Seltzer, Still at Large" — written, produced and performed by the couple — has accrued a dedicated multi-platform cult-following on Podjockey.com and XM Satellite Radio after having broken out in 2008 as a hot commodity at KSRO, Santa Rosa. According to the couple, "Outraged by the cable TV political bloviates, we invented 'Brent Seltzer, Still at Large' as a panacea to the anger and complacency that radio was becoming. We figured that since all the extreme right wingers and extreme left wingers were only preaching to their targeted choirs, we could have an extremely good time talking about anything to everyone. It is our intention to continue that tradition on the 'Brent & Meg Show.' Absolutely no politician, celebrity, corporate business practice, social custom, anything or anybody will be safe from our scathing, biting and hopefully humorous and entertaining observations. Hey, we just wanna have fun!"
Brent Seltzer is legendary in the annals of West Coast radio having worked as a personality "rock 'n' roll newsman" on two of the most storied signals in rock radio history – KMET, Los Angeles and KGB, San Diego — as well as LA's KZLA-FM/AM, KNX-FM, and KMPC. He has also been a popular radio writer working for years at companies such as Watermark ("American Top 40") and its founder Tom Rounds' celebrated international company, Radio Express.
Born into a Hollywood show business family, Meg McDonald's mother was the popular character actress Elisabeth Fraser and her father was the dancer Ray McDonald. Although a native of Santa Monica, her parents divorced when she was very young and her Mom moved to New York to co-star with Phil Silvers in his popular comedy, "You'll Never Get Rich," later known as "The Phil Silvers Show." As her mother went to work in many classic films, TV shows and Broadway shows, Meg found herself surrounded by gifted writers including Neil Simon, Norman Lear and Gore Vidal. Returning to LA after a few years, Meg never thought of herself as a performer, so she majored in Journalism at LACC, but chose a career in public relations where she has forged an award-winning history as founder of her own shop, McDonald Media Services. Strikingly beautiful with a big gorgeous voice, she always wanted to be on-air but was too shy to take the shot, until she met Brent Seltzer. "The Brent & Meg" show debuts on TalkersRadio Tuesday, September 10. For more information about TalkersRadio call 413-565-5413 or email GM David Bernstein at email@example.com. TalkersRadio streaming is powered by Backbone Networks.

Arbitron Reports 2011 Revenue Increase of 6.8%; Expects 5%-7% Growth in 2012. That's the news from Arbitron's release of its financials from 2011. The company realized a fourth quarter revenue increase of 7.6% over the same quarter the year prior, telling radio operators who subscribe to the PPM what they probably presumed – the high cost of PPM is largely responsible for those numbers. "The increase was primarily due to increased cost of revenue associated with providing PPM and Diary services, operating costs incurred by Arbitron Mobile, as well as year-over-year increases in performance and share-based compensation," Arbitron stated in its report. CEO William T. Kerr says, "For 2012 and beyond, we see our basic strategies as unchanged. We will pursue opportunities to improve performance and deliver compelling returns by leveraging our existing PPM and diary platforms, by continuing to seek out cost efficiencies and by deploying our financial and other resources to cultivate new markets. We will pursue these strategies with the goal of building long-term value for our customers, our employees and our shareholders." The other aspect of the business the PPM and Diary services are paying for is the development of new products. The company is developing a digital measurement service that would track usage of services like Pandora and iHeart Radio but there is no timetable on when such a service would be available. Meanwhile, in Tuesday's conference call, CFO Sean Creamer admitted the loss of accreditation for the five PPM markets that it announced recently was disappointing but Creamer says the company is determined to work with the Media Rating Council to earn accreditation for as many PPM markets as possible.

Telling the York Dispatch that his decision to resign from the four-month-old PM drive sports talk show stems from his "frustrations" with management, Adam McAllister says he plans to be back on radio somewhere else but he's not sure where. McAllister was part of the M&M morning show with Jim Marlin that began in 2010. Last year the program moved to afternoons but in October, McAllister went solo. WOYK president Doug George tells the paper, "He sent me a message late last week saying he was resigning and his vision with the radio station didn't agree with others. Things like that happen. I told Adam he's certainly entitled to his own belief. I'm not sure there is a whole lot more for me to say." WOYK will fill the slot with content from Yahoo! Sports.

Overnight: The Underexploited Daypart. Consultant Walter Sabo suggests more talk radio operators should take advantage of the overnight daypart – the one it wins by default. Citing a Media Audit report indicating talk radio has the largest overnight audience, Sabo contends that – contrary to conventional wisdom – there is money to be made there and other opportunities on which to capitalize. Read his exclusive TALKERS article here.
Can Radio Afford to be Rated Accurately? That's really the question that should be asked as Arbitron loses accreditation for five PPM markets. The Media Rating Council is informing Arbitron, Inc. that accreditation for the Portable People Meter in five markets – Cleveland; Portland, Oregon; Riverside-San Bernardino; Salt Lake City-Ogden-Provo; and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater – is being withdrawn. The MRC says its board of directors "reached this decision upon consideration of a recommendation from an MRC audit committee based on its review of the 2011 Arbitron PPM service audit results, which showed certain issues related to internal controls of the service and declines in service performance metrics." Arbitron EVP, service innovation and chief research officer Gregg Lindner says, "Consistent with our long-standing priorities, we will work to retain accreditation where we have it, to regain accreditation where it was withdrawn and to achieve accreditation in our remaining PPM markets. As always, we will continue our work with the MRC in order to address their concerns." Arbitron says it intends to have all 48 PPM markets undergo MRC audits this year. Currently, nine markets remain accredited: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Houston (DMA), Kansas City, Milwaukee-Racine, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and St. Louis. Although details remain vague, TALKERS suspects the problem faced by Arbitron in getting PPM off and running comes down to sample size – a two-fold challenge at this point. First: To get enough radio listeners to participate in the program and follow it diligently while busy and distracted; second, to expend the money required to have enough units and participants per market needed to achieve statistical accuracy – an investment that ultimately falls on the back of the financially strapped radio business.
CBS Radio Alters WINS, New York Top-of-the Hour Slogan. Some observers will call it a win for Merlin Media CEO Randy Michaels who challenged CBS Radio's use of the "New York's One and Only News Station" for all-news WINS. After a back-and-forth of letters from lawyers regarding station slogans and positioning statements in which CBS Radio first asked Merlin to stop using a permutation of its "Give us 22 minutes and we'll give you the world" slogan, it seems both sides may be moving forward with the business of doing news. That's probably best since we're assuming neither desire to spend more on lawyers than necessary. TALKERS legal editor Steven J.J. Weisman says each side could have made a case. Weisman says CBS could reasonably argue that Merlin was infringing upon its trademark and Merlin could make a good argument that CBS' use of the "one and only" phrase regarding its all-news radio product violated the Lanham Act (false advertising) in light of WEMP-FM's existence.
Radio Pros Lee Abrams and Steve Saslow Plan Reinvention of TV News. Radio programming legend Lee Abrams and marketing and network radio pro Steve Saslow are teaming up with attorney Brandon Davis to form THINK TeleVisual Network, Inc. In a statement, the trio say they will "elevate the television news playbook into the digital age with a radical reinvention of the way news and information is produced and delivered." THINK states its programming will be "designed to present one unified televisual news experience across every device category. It represents a profound rewriting of the news/information blueprint where a completely new style of presentation will merge with the magic of 21st century technology and modern American culture." Lee Abrams says, "News and information is what is steering our 21st century America, the equivalent of what rock 'n roll was forty years ago. THINK will merge this passion for information, knowledge and insight with the revolution in technology to create an interactive multi-media experience that will redefine how people are informed and enlightened." Initially funded by the three principals, the venture is currently going through another round of fundraising in collaboration with the Boston-based investment firm Kaufman & Company.
Clear Channel's KFBK Celebrates 90 Years of Serving Sacramento. News/Talk KFBK-AM/FM, Sacramento is celebrating 90 years on the air serving the people of the region. As part of the commemoration, the station is unveiling an online museum "that will showcase and honor the station's rich and storied history. The museum will include audio clips, photos and videos that will transport listeners back in time to relive KFBK's evolution." Other events throughout the day include Premiere Networks superstar Rush Limbaugh joining KFBK morning news anchors Amy Lewis and Ed Crane live at 8:00 am where Limbaugh will reminisce about his time at KFBK.

I couldn't be more proud to be part of such an illustrious and valuable asset to the region and a part of the team that is making history."
Clear Channel Quad Cities AM Duo Moves to News/Talk WOC; Piped to WMT, Cedar Rapids. Morning show hosts Mark Manuel and Steve Ketelaar have been hosting the morning drive show on Clear Channel Media and Entertainment's oldies KUUL-FM, East Moline, Illinois for the past four years. Beginning February 20, the duo moves across the hall to handle the morning show on the cluster's news/talk WOC, Davenport and will be simulcast at CC's Cedar Rapids news/talker WMT. They'll replace WOC program director Dan Kennedy as morning host. Kennedy stays in his PD post and will remain on the program as news anchor. Kirk Marske will produce the WOC morning show. According to the Quad City Times, WMT will provide its own news anchor during news cutaways. Clear Channel Davenport operations manager Jim O'Hara tells the paper, "A big thing with us over the past year with Clear Channel in general has been making the best use of our strongest people, our strongest programs. As I've thought about that over the last several months, it dawned on me that WOC is one radio station that needs more help, more people."

Full Title
RMT Trawl catch from 1985/86 V1 ADBEX III voyage
This dataset contains results from the Antarctic Division BIOMASS Experiment III (ADBEX III) cruise of the Nella Dan. It is the fifth cruise in a series of six, conducting a long term field survey providing data on distribution, abundance and population structure of the krill Euphausia superba in the Prydz Bay region, Antarctica. The prime purpose of ADBEX III was to study the ecology of the Crabeater Seal, and surveys of krill and other zooplankton were taken off Antarctica in the Australian sector (east of Mawson) in the Enderby Land region between October and November 1985. Species identity and abundance data were obtained. The major species investigated were Euphausia superba, Euphausia frigidia, Euphausia crystallorophias and Thysanoessa marcuria. Other pteropods and cephalopods were also studied. A CTD cast and water collection for phytoplankton pigment, nutrients and primary production measurements were also made at each net sampling station. Summary results are listed in the documentation.

Then + Now: The Cast of 'Josie and the Pussycats'
In 2001, 'Josie and the Pussycats' went from being a cutesy '70s cartoon to a live-action satire about the music industry, all thanks to the great songs and hilarious cast, the latter of which included Rachael Leigh Cook, Tara Reid and Rosario Dawson. What has the cast been up to over the past 13 years? Read on to find out. (Psst — we dare you to get through this post without getting at least one Pussycats or DuJour song stuck in your head.)
Rachael Leigh Cook (Josie McCoy)
Then: Fresh from her breakout role as nerd-turned-beauty Laney Boggs in 1999's 'She's All That,' '90s teen icon Rachael Leigh Cook played Josie McCoy, the awesome chick rocker and lead singer of the Pussycats. (Fun fact: Cook made her acting debut as Mary-Anne Spier in the 1995 'Baby-Sitter's Club' movie.)
Now: Three years after 'Josie,' Cook married future 'Vampire Diaries' actor Daniel Gillies in 2004. She has continued to act, though she has found greater success on the small screen than in film, voicing several characters over the years on 'Robot Chicken,' and having a recurring role as Shawn's ex-GF Abigail on 'Psych.' Since 2012, Cook has starred in the TV series 'Perception' opposite Eric McCormack and posts awesome behind-the-scenes photos with the cast on Twitter. She and Gillies welcomed their first child, Charlotte Easton Gillies, in September 2013.
Tara Reid (Melody Valentine)
Then: Party girl, tabloid fixture and 'American Pie' actress Tara Reid played sweetly naive Melody (think Karen Smith of 'Mean Girls'), the drummer of the Pussycats. At the time the movie was filmed, Reid was engaged to 'TRL' host Carson Daly, who made a cameo appearance in the film — ironically, trying to kill off Melody. (The two called off their real-life engagement just months after the movie's release. Coincidence?)
Now: Since 'Josie,' Reid has nabbed other feature roles, including acting alongside Richard Gere in 'Dr. T and the Women,' opposite Ashton Kutcher in the 2004 comedy 'My Boss's Daughter' and reprising her role as Vicky in two 'American Pie' sequels — not to mention a recurring role on 'Scrubs.' Most recently, Reid starred in the cult sci-fi hit 'Sharknado' and confirmed she'll be reprising her role in the sequel. After several famously failed relationships (and faux marriages), Reid is currently dating Infected Mushroom musician Erez Eisen.
Rosario Dawson (Valerie Brown)
Then: Six years after her breakout role as Ruby in 1995's 'Kids,' Rosario Dawson played Val, the level-headed bassist of the Pussycats in 'Josie.'
Now: Dawson has had an eclectic career, starring in everything from 'Men in Black II' to 'Sin City' to Shakespeare in the Park's 'Two Gentleman of Verona,' the latter two in 2005 — a big year for the actress, who also hit it big playing Mimi Marquez in the film version of the Broadway musical 'Rent.' To this day, Dawson is still going strong, beefing up her resume with 2008's 'Seven Pounds' (re-teaming with 'MIB' co-star Will Smith), 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief,' and, most recently, in 'Gimme Shelter' opposite Vanessa Hudgens. And, according to IMDB, Dawson will be reprising her role as Gail in the 'Sin City' sequel.
Gabriel Mann (Alan M.)
Then: Gabriel Mann (who started his career as a model, might we add) played Alan M., the sweet folk guitarist who captured Josie's heart — much to the chagrin of the snobby, skunk-haired Alexandra.
Now: After 'Josie,' Mann scored a significant role as Danny Zorn in the 'Bourne' films and in 2003's 'The Life of David Gale,' alongside Kevin Spacey, Kate Winslet and Laura Linney. Today, he is most well-known for his role as Nolan Ross on 'Revenge' and continues to have a successful modeling career.
Paulo Costanzo (Alexander Cabot)
Then: After getting his start on the late '90s series 'Animorphs' and in 2000's 'Road Trip,' Paulo Costanzo played the Pussycat's flamboyantly wealthy manager, Alexander Cabot, in the film.
Now: In 2004, Costanzo scored the role of Joey Tribbiani's brother Michael on the 'Friends' spin-off 'Joey,' a role he played for two years. Since 2009, he has starred as Evan Lawston on USA's 'Royal Pains.'
Missi Pyle (Alexandra Cabot)
Then: In 'Josie,' Missi Pyle portrayed Alex's obnoxious twin sister, Alexandra, whose trademarks were her skunk-like highlights, lusting after Alan M. and annoying the Pussycats to no end. A class act, in every way.
Now: Both before and since 'Josie,' Pyle has appeared in supporting roles in countless television shows and movies, including 'Bringing Down the House,' 'Friends,' 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' 'The Artist,' 'Two and a Half Men' and dozens more. In addition to acting, Pyle is also an accomplished country singer and is half of the country-rock duo Smith & Pyle, alongside fellow actress Shawnee Smith.
Alan Cumming (Wyatt Frame)
Then: The Tony Award-winning stage and film vet Alan Cumming portrayed the evil Wyatt Frame, the mastermind behind the Pussycats' supposed "success" — while he secretly brainwashed teens through their music and pitted the band members against each other. Equally as important as his critically-acclaimed performances and dozens of accolades, '90s fans will know Cumming as the Spice Girls' manager in 1997's 'Spice World,' and the evil Floop in the 'Spy Kids' films.
Now: With a wealth of credits to his name, some of Cumming's more notable roles include the emcee in the London production of 'Cabaret' (for which Cumming won the Tony), Eli Gold on 'The Good Wife' and the titular character of Broadway's revival production of 'Macbeth,' among countless others.
Parker Posey (Fiona)
Then: Parker Posey portrayed the villainous Fiona, CEO of the Pussycat's record label and Wyatt's brainwashing partner-in-crime. Before 'Josie,' Posey was primarily an indie darling, known for her roles in the Christopher Guest mockumentaries 'Waiting for Guffman' and 'Best in Show' — though she also had prominent roles in big budget flicks like 'Dazed and Confused' and 'Scream 3.'
Now: Posey has continued to work with Christopher Guest, later starring in 'A Mighty Wind' and 'For Your Consideration.' She has also found success on TV, with recurring roles on 'The Big C,' 'The Good Wife' (alongside her 'Josie' co-star Alan Cumming) and 'Louie.'
Breckin Meyer (Marco, DuJour)
Then: Breckin Meyer played Marco, one-quarter of the boyband DuJour — you know, the ones that supposedly died in a plane crash in the film and sang 'Backdoor Lover,' that hit that totally went over your head as a kid. Before 'Josie,' Meyer was best known for his role as Tai's stoner boyfriend in 'Clueless.'
Now: Meyer married 'Josie' screenwriter and co-producer Deborah Kaplan in October 2001 but divorced in 2012 after 11 years of marriage. Like some of his fellow 'Josie' castmates, Meyer has voiced several characters on 'Robot Chicken' over the years. Since 2011, he has played titular character Jared Franklin on TNT's 'Franklin & Bash' and is also the creator (and writer!) behind TBS' comedy 'Men at Work.'
Donald Faison (D.J., DuJour)
Then: Like his 'Clueless' co-star Breckin Meyer, Donald Faison went from playing Murray, Dionne's jokester Beverly Hills BF in the Alicia Silverstone flick, to portraying boybander D.J. in the fictional DuJour.
Now: In 2001, the same year 'Josie' came out, Faison got his big break by playing Turk on 'Scrubs,' his most famous role to date. Faison tied the knot with Jessica Simpson's BFF Cacee Cobb in December 2012, and the two welcomed a baby boy, Rocco, in August of the same year. Faison, who also has four other kids from previous relationships, currently stars on TV Land's 'The Exes.'
Seth Green (Travis, DuJour)
Then: When Seth Green played Travis, one of DuJour's more whiny members, he already had an impressive resume under his belt, with starring roles as Oz in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' as the voice of Chris Griffin on 'Family Guy' and as Dr. Evil's son Scott in the 'Austin Powers' films.
Now: After 'Josie,' Green has built a successful comedic career for himself, guest-starring in countless television shows and movies, and continuing to provide the voice of Chris on 'Family Guy' to this day. And as the creator, writer and producer of 'Robot Chicken' (on which many of his 'Josie' co-stars have lent their voices), Green has certainly found his niche.
Alexander Martin (Les, DuJour)
Then: Rounding off DuJour was Les, played by Alexander Martin, grandson of legendary singer Dean Martin.
Now: Though not as prominently successful as the rest of his 'Josie' co-stars, Martin has continued to act sporadically. His most recent role was in a 2013 episode of 'Private Practice.'

Enjoyed my experience at Autumn Woods. The front office staff was great and always available when needed. Main Read Moretenance staff was amazing and so friendly, and prompt when something needed attention. Only major downfall was, I had one, small, window unit A/C for my whole apartment.

1994 Deville Running Rough
Alright guys, heres my problem. This condition comes and goes, sometimes goes away for days at a time, other times it acts up every time I drive it. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why or when it does it, but at times, the car will backfire and hesitate at various speeds, sometimes so bad the car just won't move. To remedy the immediate problem, I can pull over, turn the ignition off, and restart the car, then it will run fine again for a few minutes or even hours. I ran the codes and came up with this
No ACP
No SIR
I did a search on these codes, but they really don't tell me anything. Just FYI also, the cars catalytic converter has been removed, but I have a new one to put back on it, just haven't had the time to have it done, not sure if that could be causing the problem or not. Anyways, thanks in advance.

Re: 1994 Deville Running Rough
Check fuel pressure (with a gauge) when it is acting up, it could be the fuel pump or the pickup in the tank. Also it would'nt hurt to check every vacuum line you can get to and make sure every thing is plugged in etc.

Re: 1994 Deville Running Rough
These car inherit of bad injectors. Run the computer test to see which injectors are not changing the RPM, you may be surprised. If you need the instructions to do so from the climate control system, let me know, I can walk you through each step. There are threads in here under fuel injectors that will tell you the steps too. A set of clean injectors will make your car run like it just left the showroom.

In a nutshell....
Harvesting, processing and preserving your home grown produce with Alys Fowler. full of information for the vegetable gardener.
This product is currently out of stock
Another great book from author and journalist Alys Fowler. In this book Alys offers information and advice on how to make the most of what you grow. Including detailed explanations on how best to harvest and store home grown foods so they keep far better than shop bought fruit and vegetables. Alys ably details the various methods of growing, harvesting, drying, jamming, pickling, fermenting, bottling and freezing all with delicious recipes. Whether you have a balcony, small backyard, allotment or large country garden there are plenty of useful tidbits in this book for you. Makes a great gardening gift.
Alys has everything a good practical book needs with a deep knowledge of her subject coupled with wit and charm that makes this volume a very easy read. One of her earliest memories is sucking nectar from clover flowers under the watchful eye of her mother who ignited and nurtured her passion for foraging. I've met her on a number of occasions so I'm a bit biased here (she's great fun) but I can tell you she's the real deal. This isn't a manufactured book on a trendy subject but a true reference book packed with useful and practical information.
This book takes a fresh look at foraging, encouraging you to look closer to home, from the weeds in your garden to the trees in your street, rather than the fields and hedgerows of the countryside. Alys showcases her favourite edibles with a plant directory packed with useful information - photographic identification, plant description and tips on how to grow and how to eat it (including recipes) - that will give you the confidence to identify plants yourself.
From The Book:
Fresh home grown produce is a delight. The taste of sun warmed tomatoes, sweet strawberries, crunchy cucumbers and crisp apples are immediate, but a winter of these summer flavours preserved, now that's a feeling of satisfaction.
Alys Fowler is a broadcaster, journalist and bestselling author of the following books:

Reserve Collection
The Reserve Collection is shelved behind the Circulation Desk. If you need materials from the Reserve Collection, please ask one of the staff members at the Circulation Desk for assistance. Most Reserve materials may be checked out for two hours. Details of the Reserve circulation policy are listed below. Reserve materials may be renewed if not requested by another patron, but are subject to recall. A valid ID card must be left at the Circulation Desk for all material checked out from the Reserve Collection except those items which circulate out of the library overnight. The fine for overdue Reserve materials is 50¢ per hour.
The Reserve Collection represents three broad categories of materials:
1. Materials which are on Permanent Reserve or Reference Reserve because they are requested frequently. These include:
- Books, hornbooks, and nutshells
- A copy of New York Consolidated Law Service
- The Official Code, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (NYCRR)
- The Rules of the City of New York
- The Administrative Charter and Code of the City of New York
These materials may be checked out for a two-hour time period by current Pace Law students for use in the Library and the study rooms on the second and third floors of Glass. Other patrons may check out these materials, for in-library use only, for a two-hour time period. You must leave a photo ID at the Circulation Desk when you check out these materials.
2. Materials which are on Course Reserve. These include recently released copies of final exams, photocopies of articles, sample briefs, assignments, etc. supplied to us by professors. Materials are added to Course Reserve during the semester, and are removed and returned to the faculty at the end of the semester. Lists of reserve materials required or recommended by professors for specific courses are available through Pace's online catalog.
Course Reserve materials may be checked out for a two-hour time period by current Pace Law students for use in the Library and in the study rooms on the second and third floors of Glass. You must leave a photo ID at the Circulation Desk when checking out these materials. In some instances professors will request that their materials circulate for less than two hours at a time, due to anticipated high usage rates during a short period of time. Materials subject to these rules will be labeled as such, and students checking out these materials will be notified of the shorter borrowing period.
3. Materials which are on Course Reserve because their format does not allow for storage in the stacks. Examples of these are:
- Recent issues of some local and legal newspapers: the New York Times, the Journal News, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Law Journal, the Connecticut Law Tribune, the New Jersey Law Journal, and the National Law Journal
- CD-ROMs
- DVDs
- Data distributed on computer disks
- Audiotapes
- Videotapes
Newspapers may be checked out, for in-library use only, for a two-hour time period. You must leave a photo ID at the Circulation Desk when checking out newspapers.
CDs and DVDs published to accompany bound volumes in our collection circulate according to the rules governing circulation for each of these particular volumes. Other CDs and DVDs may be used in the library or checked out for two weeks depending on the nature of the material.
Topical review material on audiotape and DVD (Sum and Substance, West's Outstanding Professor Series, etc.) circulates for three days during most of the semester, but is available for in-library use only starting two weeks before the final exam study days begin, and until the last of the make-up exams are given after the end of the semester.

Macklin: I am ready for whatever Golovkin brings on Saturday night
Photos: Ed Diller / DiBella Entertainment
Earlier this afternoon, top-rated middleweight contender and former two-time world title challenger Matthew "Mack The Knife" Macklin held an open media workout at The Trinity Boxing Club in downtown Manhattan ahead of his much anticipated world championship clash this Saturday, June 29, 2013 against (World Boxing Association / International Boxing Organization) WBA/IBO Middleweight World Champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin at the MGM Grand Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut.
The Golovkin/Macklin bout is presented by K2 Promotions and DiBella Entertainment and will be televised live on HBO beginning at 9:45 PM ET/PT. Macklin looked to be in tremendous shape, having kept himself just 2 lbs. over the 160 lb. limit for the past three weeks, and was all smiles and oozing with confidence ahead of the championship clash this Saturday.
Macklin said "I have had a great training camp, truly the best yet in my career. I have already been on weight for three weeks. This is my third crack at the world title, and I just cannot wait to get in there and get things going on Saturday night. I am ready for whatever Golovkin brings on Saturday night, but let's be honest, I am no point scorer, and neither is he. I am looking to take him out and him the same to me, so this can be nothing but a great fight. I have done everything I have wanted in my career, except win a world championship, and on Saturday night that all changes."
Lou Dibella stated "I have never seen Matthew look like this. I have never seen him this sharp or look in this great of shape. People are saying Golovkin is looking past Matthew. Good luck if that's the case. He and everyone else are going to be in for a big surprise Saturday night. Golovkin has never been in with someone like Matthew. He better be ready for Saturday night because he has a big Irish mountain in front of him that is going to make him walk through fire to keep his title."

The Center for Student Success (formerly known as the Academic Support Center) embodies UNCP's commitment to your academic success. That means that, together, our programs, offices, and resources form a comprehensive academic support network that can assist you as you find your ideal path and pursue your degree. Whether guiding you through your academic transition, helping you clarify career goals and explore majors, or providing tutoring that helps you meet the challenges of college study, the Center for Student Success is an important part of your experience at UNCP.
The Tutoring Program provides free tutoring services to all UNCP students who need further assistance in currently registered courses. We offer tutoring in all general education courses, as well as many upper-level courses.
Academic Resource Mentors (ARMs) are paraprofessionals that are assigned to serve as peer mentors for students enrolled in the course UNV 1100 - Strategies for Success. In addition to assisting with the course curriculum, ARMs address students' unique academic concerns to guide them in achieving academic excellence. ARMs focus on student growth and empower them to become self-directed learners that understand their academic responsibilities.
The Resource Learning Lab provides you with an opportunity to improve your academic readiness by utilizing computer software that improves academic skills. The Resource Learning Lab offers computer-based, self-paced tutoring in basic writing skills, from composing sentences, paragraphs, and essays, to addressing common writing problems, basic reading comprehension, and word problem dissection.
The Striving Toward Academic Recovery (STAR) Program is intended for students who are returning from an academic and/or financial aid suspension. Our goal is to assist students with getting back on track academically so that they can be successful at UNCP. The STAR Program Coordinator is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who supervises a staff consisting of graduate students enrolled in UNCP's Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. STAR Program participants have the option of participating in individual sessions or group sessions; or they may request to participate in both.
The HAWK (Honing Academics With Knowledge) Alert Program is designed to identify those students who are having academic difficulty at any point in their academic career. By identifying these students, the Center for Student Success can address their needs, thereby increasing the likelihood of their success.

November 25, 2012, 14:26:52 | #52
5, 7, and 8 for sacrier faces don't look too bad. 5 is basically the same as stock sac, but with attitude ;p
Since my current 4 man team is male iop/sram and female eni/enu I'm looking towards getting 5 for sram, 6 for iop, 8 enu and 3 eni.
The ones that surprise me are ecas since I think they look like bunnies now. I like the rogue pirate look and since Im a longtime sadi fan the new faces like 3, 7, and 8 are so much more appealing than the current. I'm looking forward to this update for these changes, and maybe we'll be able to get the ability to hide our clothes like you can do in other games to really show off our custom look because livis/paras/alyverols dont have camo ability to blend with our looks.

The reason you can't see what everyone's talking about is that you're clicking on random links rather than looking at Giga-Biga-Bowser's posts (with pictures of all the new heads) on page one of this very topic. (Make sure you're reading this topic on the forum, not from the devblog)

The Female Iop's styles are not bad (Not my favorite tho not bad). The only problem I have with them is all but the original are high hair styles. As a result, they are covered but pretty much all hats and thus, all end up looking the same (which is horrible). The 4th style would be cute if the pony tail stuck out from behind the hat but I doubt that is going to happen with the new hat/hair fix.
As for the Female Xelor styles, the shading across the face is five shades darker then the rest of the body on all styles but the two based off of the original. :/ This isn't so bad but means I would have to go and tweek my colors if this isn't fixed.

Gotta admit everyone, and lets all honestly be honest here xD, this is a huge thing we've been waiting for. Most classes, (particularly me, as a cra) have been waiting for a makeover ever since 2.0 came out. Cras (male) just look plain stupid, and I'm really excited for what they will unveil! Hope everyone is as excited as me!

This is dumbThis is off topic but u do realise they kick about 300 bots a day just for them to be recreated then resume annoying spam duties, Try say something helpful or constructive critism before a rant.

This is dumbModerators have said 100 times over that there are no points of kicking those bots. Because the second you do another one shows back up. They probably have 10,000 of the spam bots queued up just in case one gets kicked. What's Ankama supposed to do? Hire people to sit there 24h a day, 7 days a week on every sever (Which is about 60+)

"What's Ankama supposed to do? Hire people to sit there 24h a day, 7 days a week on every sever (sic) (Which is about 60+)"
Nah. Betcha there must be hundreds of honest, trustworthy players...per server... who would gladly donate their time and effort to act as volunteer moderators in order to eliminate the bot menace. Community service of sorts, if you will, but we all know that Ankama would never wish to eliminate hundreds of subscribers, no matter how much of a pain in the neck they are.
An easily remedied solution, one of many if someone would extend some serious gray-matter towards the dilemma, that will never come to pass, because, at the end of the day, 90% (or more) of the subscriber roll isn't going to let the bot situation force them into cancelling their subscription(s).

Hanson Announces 'Shout It Out' Tour, Kicks Off 7/21
HANSON is proud to announce the first two legs of their North American tour in support of their highly anticipated fifth record, Shout It Out. The announcement of the tour follows a whirlwind week of excitement for the band's debut single, "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'" which was released to digital outlets last Friday in conjunction with the premiere network television performance of the song on the Late Show with David Letterman, and the music video debut on Myspace, garnering praise from fans and critics alike including Perez Hilton, MTV, Entertainment Weekly, Absolute Punk and Salon. The video, featuring "Weird" Al Yankovic, was viewed over a million times in the first few days of release, and is still rising. The exuberant homage to classic film The Blues Brothers, recreates an iconic scene where the band's soulful music incites over 300 people to dance in the street.
Billboard said that Shout It Out represents some of the band's "most soulful work ever committed to record", while Salon hailed that the new single "may be their finest moment yet", Entertainment Weekly praised "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'" as "a delicious, catchy slice of pop-soul", and Idolator predicted, "don't be surprised if there's a Hanson revival in 2010".
The first leg of the Shout It Out Tour begins July 21 with support from Rooney, and covers the east coast, south and midwest. The second leg, featuring A Rocket To The Moon, covers the southwest and west coast and begins September 14. The Shout It Out Tour also provides a platform for HANSON to continue their passion and support for independent music by partnering with OurStage to host an opening band contest in each market, where local indie artists can compete for the chance to share the stage with the band. Ben Campbell, CEO of OurStage, said "We are honored that HANSON approached OurStage to find emerging artists to perform as opening acts at local stops of their tour. HANSON has been a leader in the music industry for a long time as musicians and by running their own label, paving the way for other emerging artists seeking to make a name for themselves."
HANSON is also excited to announce their partnership to create dynamic live streaming content with Livestream.com, beginning tonight with the band's sold-out, five-night concert series at New York's Gramercy Theatre. Each concert will feature the band performing one of their albums in its entirety, leading up to the worldwide debut of Shout It Out on the final night. The live streaming concert series will be viewable by the public on Hanson.net and Livestream.com as well as MSN.com. The live broadcast gives fans around the world the opportunity to be a part of the career-spanning event, and begins a series of exciting live streaming content to be continued throughout the rollout of Shout It Out.
"Our band has always been fuelled by a dynamic relationship with our fans, and the launch of live content with Livestream is going to open a new door for us to engage music fans wherever they are in real time through Livestream's player which can be embedded anywhere from Facebook to Twitter and turn a broadcast into an online conversation," said Taylor Hanson. Isaac added, "The live platform is where we think the future is for artists who want to really engage their fans."
