South Asian Mothering
Negotiating Culture, Family and Selfhood
Edited by Tahira Gonsalves, Jasjit K. Sangha
This edited collection seeks to initiate a dialogue on South Asian Mothering and how embedded cultural practices inform, shape and influence South Asian mothers' perceptions and practices of mothering. Drawing from a diverse collection of articles, this work will explore how social constructions such as gender, race, class, sexuality and ability intersect with migration and tradition both in South Asia and in the South Asian diaspora. This book will appeal to multiple audiences as contributors with backgrounds in academia, activism, public policy, and the media will draw from theory, research and lived experiences to illuminate the complexity of South Asian mothering.

Recalled Australian batsman Phil Hughes wasn't able to cap off his return to the Test side with a century on Friday, but his 86-run knock has helped Australia to a strong position at stumps on day one of the first Test against Sri Lanka at Blundstone Arena.
By the end of the day, the home side had reached 4-299 despite the best efforts of a disciplined Sri Lankan outfit that was sent in to bowl first after Australian captain Michael Clarke won the toss on an overcast morning in Hobart.
The Australian batsmen were made to work for their runs given Mahela Jayawardene's defensive field settings and the visitors' tight line and superb ground fielding, but with six wickets in the shed still look capable of posting a decisive first-innings score when play resumes on Saturday.
Sri Lanka desperately need to break the unbeaten century stand between Clarke (70 not out) and Michael Hussey (37 not out) if they're to limit the Australians to a moderate first-innings total.
Called into the side following Ricky Ponting's retirement from Test cricket, Hughes survived a real scare before tea when he nicked a flashing cut shot behind and was only saved by a huge no-ball from left-arm paceman Chanaka Welegedara (3-80).
Welegedara responded by having Shane Watson (30) caught spectacularly by a flailing Jayawardene at second slip and eventually got his man when he bowled Hughes between bat and pad in the second over after tea.
Watson had become 31-year-old Welegedara's 50th Test wicket, but it will be the nature of Jayawardene's one-handed catch - rather than the bowling milestone - that the dismissal will be remembered for.
Watson pushed firmly at a delivery angled across his body, the ball taking a thick edge and somehow lodging in Jayawardene's extended right hand as the Sri Lankan captain dived full length in front of a vacant third slip.
Hughes' knock was his highest Test score in Australia, easily surpassing his 37 against Pakistan in January 2010 and signalled a successful return to the international arena after he was dumped from the Test team following a double failure against New Zealand in Hobart a year ago.
As well as depositing Rangana Herath (0-47) into Blundstone Arena's Southern Stand for a huge six, Hughes found the boundary eight times and scored to all corners of the ground during an assured innings.
Earlier, Welegedara had made the initial breakthrough by removing opener Ed Cowan (four) in the sixth over of the day.
Cowan badly misjudged a short delivery to spoon a pull shot to mid-on and must have looked on ruefully as Hughes and David Warner (57) added 79 for the second wicket, a partnership that promised plenty more until a mix-up between the wickets saw the pugnacious left-hander well short of his ground in the final over before lunch.
The Blundstone Arena pitch didn't offer anything like the assistance to seam bowlers as had been predicted leading up to the match, Welegedara the only Sri Lankan wicket-taker.
Dangerous spinner Herath found little turn on the first day surface, but did manage to tie up the southern end for long spells as Sri Lanka tried to slow the scoring rate whenever possible, even retaining a deep point for much of the afternoon.
The new ball almost brought about Clarke's dismissal and the Australian skipper was twice beaten in one Shaminda Eranga over late in the day, the athletic right-arm quick clearly the sharpest of Sri Lanka's pace attack and unlucky to finish wicketless.
Clarke appeared to be hobbled after clipping the inside of his knee while attempting to defend an Eranga delivery on the leg side, but recovered sufficiently to pass 1400 Test runs for the calendar year an over later.
His golden year continued when he added another half-century to a long list of milestone knocks and, with the rest of this match and the Boxing Day test still to come, is well within sight of Ponting's Australian record 1544 calendar-year Test runs set in 2005.

Car Chase Highly Questionable
This is a very interesting video of a car chase on a busy stretch of highway. The police do wind up causing the car which is being chased to finally come to a stop by using extremely dangerous techniques. All this on a busy highway full of other people in their cars being put at extreme risk of harm and injury just so the police can get the car stopped.
It is a good thing that apparently no one was injured as a result of this car chase as well as the disregard to public safety and highly questionable judgment, or actually lack thereof, of the law enforcement representatives in public.

BUFORD — All was well for the reigning state champion Buford Wolves on Friday night.
The defending Class AAA champions cruised past the Elbert County Blue Devils 46-7 in the season opener at Tom Riden Stadium.
"I'm excited. It is still the first game, we made way too many mistakes but that is what everybody does in the first game," Buford coach Jess Simpson said. "We've worked on it all summer and I know we will clean it up this week. The exciting thing is how hard our kids are playing and how many guys we are playing."
On Friday night, Buford had plenty of players get into the action. Six different Wolves scored touchdowns, while the defense forced a safety and Matthew Bonadies added a second-quarter 28-yard field goal.
Offensively, the Wolves looked nearly unstoppable, racking up 424 yards of total offense, despite starting four drives inside Elbert County territory. Defensively, Buford limited the Blue Devils to 208 yards of total offense, the majority of which was gained in the fourth quarter against younger, less-experienced players.
"We had really good intangibles on the sideline," Simpson said. "Once we started to get some momentum, we really had a great end of the first quarter and beginning of the second quarter. Then we had a chance to put them away there at the end of the second quarter and we didn't, but that happens."
Buford scored on three of its first four offensive possessions of the night before forcing a safety on Elbert County's fifth offensive possession to take a 23-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
Buford added a field goal to close out the second quarter, and then scored on its first three second-half possessions to build a mammoth 46-0 lead.
"The biggest thing, because we were so young last year, (and) this year we have just gotten to play a lot of guys who got experience last year," said Simpson, whose Buford team escaped with a 14-3 win over Elbert County last season.
"I think we executed light years ahead of where we did a year ago."
Up next for the Wolves (1-0) are the reigning Class AAAAA state champion Gainesville Red Elephants, who beat West Forsyth 58-28 on Friday night. Gainesville was the only team to beat Buford last season.
Simpson said despite the big lead late in the game, Buford stayed focus throughout the game, even if the fans were already turning their attention towards Gainesville and star quarterback Deshaun Watson.
"In a lot of ways you've already been preparing for our first two or three opponents all summer," Simpson said. "Certainly everybody in the state, from north to south, probably all over the country know that (Watson) is one of the best players in the country."
While the highly anticipated game against Gainesville is next week, Simpson made it clear the Wolves were going to enjoy Friday night's win, even if only for a day or two.
Elbert County (0-1) put a scare into the Buford faithful in the first minute Friday night, moving inside the Buford 10-yard line behind a pair of big runs. The Buford defense quickly responded, pushing Elbert County out of field goal range and eventually forcing a turnover on downs.
It took the Buford offense just six plays to find the end zone after taking possession, building a 7-0 lead on a 13-yard run by Joshua Thomas.
Buford's defense forced Elbert County into four-straight three-and-out series after that, while the Wolves' offense piled on the points.
It took just four plays to go 46 yards to take a 14-0 lead, coming when Donte' Gordon smashed into the end zone on a 5-yard TD run.
A few possessions later, the Wolves were back into the end zone, capping off a quick three-play, 29-yard drive. This time, Thomas Wilson found the end zone, coming on a 6-yard run.
On the following Elbert County possession, the Buford defense flexed its muscle once again.
On third-and-long, Blue Devils quarterback Mecole Hardman was hurried by multiple Buford defenders in the end zone, forcing him to throw the ball away. Hardman was called for intentional grounding, resulting in a safety. Buford led 23-0.
In the second half, Buford quarterbacks Taylor Mitchell and Montgomery VanGorder got into the action. Each senior threw a third-quarter touchdown.
Mitchell connected with sophomore Isaac Nauta on a 15-yard scoring strike to make the score 33-0. The following drive, VanGorder found a wide-open Steven Reese on a 43-yard TD strike, the Wolves' only play of the possession.
"We were a little more polished offensively tonight," Simpson said.
Buford's final score came on a 52-yard touchdown run by Evyn Cooper, who finished with a game-high 101 yards rushing on the night.
Joshua Thomas finished with 45 yards rushing on six carries, while Thomas Wilson finished with 40 yards rushing on five carries. Zavior Hoxie contributed with 25 yards.
Both Mitchell and VanGorder attempted seven passes. VanGorder finished 5 of 7 with 109 yards and a score, while Mitchell was 5 of 8 with 65 yards and a TD. Nauta led Buford with 52 yards receiving on just three receptions.

Navigating the streets of New York City with kids always requires top-notch gear. What the car is to the suburban mom, the stroller is to the city mom. As functional as a stroller is, however, it isn't always the most fun way for kids to get around as they get bigger. Sometimes they want to hop out of that seat and go, which is why for ages 3+, the scooter is an amazing alternative.
We live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, known to many as "stroller country". On any given day, you will find approximately 3 strollers per city block. What you will also notice (when the weather gets warmer) is an almost equivalent amount of scooters: they are either dangling off of the stroller on the way to school pick-up or transporting a tiny helmeted person, zipping down the sidewalk, scaring the bejesus out of innocent pedestrians. Just as the Bugaboo or UppaBaby stroller has become a city mom staple, the Mini Micro Scooter ($79.99) has made quite a name for itself.
Here's why it's a mama{love}:
1. The sturdy 3-wheel design makes it easy to use even for the tiniest of toddlers. My product tester, Harper, has mastered it at 22 months, simply by watching her big bro.
2. The scooter wheels provide not only a smooth ride, but a quiet one, while the wide base of the kickboard accommodates kids of all sizes.
3. The scooter has a "lean-to-steer mechanism", teaching kids how to use the weight of their bodies to move the board in different directions.
4. It is incredibly lightweight at just 4 pounds. If your little guy tires out, it is manageable to hang from the stroller or carry.
5. The Mini Micro is very compact to store: simply detach the T-bar from the kickboard with the push of a button. It can easily be stored flat, even in your stroller storage area when not in use on-the-go.
6. It can accommodate up to 44 pounds, which means it will likely last from your child's second to fifth birthday.
7. The scooter encourages kids to be active, while teaching them balance and coordination. It gets them out of the stroller and onto the street.
8. It is the coolest way to get to school, especially when walking seems to take way too long at this age.
For more information about the Mini Micro and other products by Micro Kickboard, visit their site and follow them on Facebook. If your kid doesn't have one yet and they are over two, add it to their wish list for their next birthday - you will score major cool points...
A Micro Mini scooter was given to me on behalf of Micro Kickboard. All opinions are my own and all products are tested/reviewed by me.

April 7 1968: Tragedy struck the racing world on this day 45 years ago when motor racing world champion Jim Clark was killed in a car crash.
Clark, 32, died in a Formula Two race at Hockenheim, Germany, after his Lotus-Cosworth left the track at 170mph, span through the air and collided with a tree.
The double Formula One champ suffered a fractured skull and broken neck, and was pronounced dead before he even reached hospital.
On This Day: Kurt Cobain commits suicide
Clark had previously been involved in several spectacular smashes in his 15-year racing career, but had always escaped serious harm.
Experts suggested the crash was caused a faulty steering mechanism or rear-axle suspension.
The 80,000 racing fans who had been watching the race were informed of the tragic crash over the loudspeaker. Stunned by the news, they spontaneously rose to their feet in a silent tribute.
A track marshal who was the only witness to the crash said: "I was horror-struck. Everything happened so fast. The car skidded off to the left and seemed to dive through the fence only 10 yards (9.14m) from me.
On This Day: Martin Luther King assassinated
"It went skidding and somersaulting across the grass and hit a tree with a tremendous thump.
"The car seemed to be in a thousand pieces."
After Clark's death, his motorsport colleagues paid tribute to the Formula One champion.
Jackie Stewart said: "Jimmy's death is probably the most tragic thing in my experience of motor-racing - probably in the history of motor-racing.
"Jimmy was not only a famous driver, he was an international personality, loved by all his fiercest rivals."

As Nokia today debuted its Lumia 1020, the flagship phone for the Windows Phone 8 mobile operating system, several social networks simultaneously announced that they would launch Windows apps.
The announcements were particularly focused on photo and video apps, in part because the phone features a 41 megapixel camera, 50 Nokia photo editing filters and its editing SDK. The device can also capture 1080p video at 30 frames per second.
In its announcement of a Windows app, mobile-only social network Path called the camera "the best on the market."
"We at Path believe in the power of photography as a means of capturing memories. So we are delighted that Path users on the Lumia will be able to post photo moments that are even more vibrant than ever before," the company said.
Twitter will launch Vine for Windows, the company said. And Flipboard has previously said it will launch a Windows app, in addition to those it offers for iOS and Android.
But what about Instagram, wondered commentators on several prominent tech blogs.
Err, what about it? Windows powers just 1 percent of the U.S. smartphones and 3 percent of smartphones worldwide. Even if Nokia's new device speeds adoption of the Windows platform, Instagram has very little competitive risk in not getting its app on the devices right away.
Scoring an Instagram app would be a coup for Windows, but it the operating system would still lag far behind iOS and Android.
"Windows Phone really needs all of the 'core' mobile apps it can get, and not having Instagram is a hole in their app marketplace. If they get Instagram that will be a plus — it will make WP more relevant, but it won't solve any of their longer term device/ecosystem issues," said Brian Blau, the head of research at Gartner.
Does Instagram's lack of app suggest it's betting against Microsoft's success? Unlikely, since CEO Kevin Systrom told Fast Company last month that he has no plans to build an app for the trendy Google Glass device before first building not just for Windows but also for the ailing Blackberry.
Recall, too, that Instagram launched its first Android app a year and half after unveiling its iOS app.
"At the moment, we are focused on building the best Instagram experience possible for people using iOS and Android devices. Our ultimate goal is to bring Instagram to everyone who wants to use it and we will consider other platforms over time," an Instagram spokesperson said.
In other words, Instagram's less-than-instant maneuvering is nothing out of the ordinary. It may hurt Microsoft a little bit, but it's unlikely to hurt Instagram, which has continued to hold competitors at bay.
Of course, Instagram's nearly KO'd competitor Hipstamatic hopes to leverage the opportunity it has to rule to the Lumia.
"The Nokia Lumia 1020 is the first time a hardware manufacturer has built a smartphone to be camera-first, and having the opportunity to build our software alongside this talented hardware team is exciting. We're eager to continue building amazing camera products for the mobile community," said Hipstamatic CEO Lucas Buick in a statement.
Instagram, however, is so unconcerned about Hipstamatic that it allows the company to use its API to post the photos they take using the competitor app to their Instagram accounts.

Natural Disasters and Primate Populations: The Effects of a 2-Year Drought on a Naturally Occurring Population of Ring-Tailed Lemurs (Lemur catta) in Southwestern Madagascar
- Cite this article as:

We examine demographic patterns from a long-term study (1987–1996) of the population of ring-tailed lemurs in the Beza-Mahafaly Special Reserve, in southwestern Madagascar. In particular, we focus on the effects that a severe drought in 1991 and 1992 had on the population. The population of adult animals peaked in 1991 but decreased rapidly during the subsequent drought and immediate postdrought years. In the 1992 birth season (and second year of the drought) infant mortality reached 80%, and 20.8% of all adult females in the reserve died. The following year, adult female mortality reached a high of 29.9%. Juvenile mortality in 3 intensively studied groups was 57% during the second year of the drought. We compare these data with infant, juvenile, and adult female mortality in non-drought years. We are not able to calculate adult male mortality, as they often emigrate from the reserve to the adjacent forest; however, in the same 3 intensively studied groups, 89% of the males disappeared during the 2 immediate postdrought years. By 1996, the population had begun to recover after the decline that correlated with the drought conditions. Annual reproduction, high birth rates (.80–.86 annually), early sexual maturity, and dietary adaptability may be contributing factors to the recovery. Effects of and recovery from this type of natural disaster in the Beza Mahafaly ring-tailed lemur population parallel responses of some species of macaques and baboons with respect to the adaptability of edge species.

By Chris Harris
According to Arsène Wenger, this weekend is a "good opportunity" for Arsenal to make up ground in the title race.
The Frenchman has seen his team pick up six points from their first four Premier League games and fall nine points adrift of early leaders Chelsea. But Wenger will take some comfort from the fact that Arsenal have already made three of their toughest away trips - to Everton, Manchester United and Manchester City.
In theory, Wigan's visit to Emirates Stadium on Saturday represents an excellent chance of three points for Arsenal. And a win would close the gap on at least two of the top four with Chelsea playing Tottenham and Old Trafford hosting the Manchester derby.
Wenger is well aware of how pivotal these weekends can be in the title race and he intends to take full advantage.
"[We can make up ground] on one of the two [Manchester clubs] or both," said the Arsenal boss.
"It's a very good opportunity.
"We learn two things [from losing both games in Manchester]: that we have the potential to fight for the Championship and we did not make enough of the opportunities we had to deliver points and that puts us under pressure to deliver at home."
Man City will be looking to maintain their perfect start to the campaign when they face their city rivals in what is undoubtedly the game of the weekend. Wenger was on the receiving end of Mark Hughes' expensively-assembled team last weekend so does he expect them to challenge for the title?
"It's too early to say that, it's difficult at the moment to say that," said the Frenchman. "Let's see how well they do on Sunday."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Penang, 1939. Sixteen-year-old Philip Hutton is a loner. Half English, half Chinese and feeling neither, he discovers a sense of belonging in an unexpected friendship with Hayato Endo, a Japanese diplomat. Philip shows his new friend around his adored island of Penang, and in return Endo trains him in the art and discipline of aikido. But such knowledge comes at a terrible price. The enigmatic Endo is bound by disciplines of his own and when the Japanese invade Malaya, threatening to destroy Philip's family and everything he loves, he realises that his trusted sensei - to whom he owes absolute loyalty - has been harbouring a devastating secret.Philip must risk everything in an attempt to save those he has placed in mortal danger and discover who and what he really is. With masterful and gorgeous narrative, replete with exotic and captivating images, sounds and aromas - of rain swept beaches, magical mountain temples, pungent spice warehouses, opulent colonial ballrooms and fetid and forbidding rainforests - Tan Twan Eng weaves a haunting and unforgettable story of betrayal, barbaric cruelty, steadfast courage and enduring love.

Comments about The Gift of Rain:
beautifully written
Though this debut novel of divided loyalties in Southeast Asia during World War II has the epic sweep of a TV mini-series, portentous dialogue and belabored themes undermine its otherwise engrossing plot.Narrating the novel, which was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, is Philip Hutton, whom the reader first encounters as the Malaysian island of Penang is about to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of Japanese occupation. As the surviving member of one of the island's leading families, the half-Chinese, half-English Hutton is surprised to receive a visitor from Japan, Michiko Murakami, an aged woman previously unknown to him. She soon reveals that the two have a strong tie through their mutual association with Hayato Endo, a teacher of martial arts and Zen Buddhism, who had exerted a profound influence on both. Much of the rest of the novel finds Philip relating to Michiko (and the reader) how his relationship with Endo had determined his life's course. The narrative structure is a little clunky (Michiko disappears for hundreds of pages at a time, making the reader wonder whether this setup is really necessary), but Hutton's story is frequently compelling. He had become the pupil of the Japanese master as a teenager, when he was already struggling with questions of identity and allegiance. The only child of his British father's second marriage, to a Chinese woman who died when he was a boy, he felt like a foreigner with his father and stepsiblings. The influence of Endo on Philip further complicates familial relations, particularly after Japan invades Malaya during World War II. Was Philip a collaborator who betrayed his own country? Did he do what he needed to protect his family? Or was he a patriot engaged in subversion against the Japanese who had come to trust him?The author makes it clear that issues of treason and patriotism - and fate and free will - defy easy resolution.

I had bees all over my purple hull pea patch. Then I had deer all over my purple hull pea patch. No peas for me this year.
They also love Borage. LOVE it! I started planting Borage in my potager style vegetable garden a few years ago. It's easy to grow (sometimes too easy, as it self-seeds prodigiously), it's really pretty, has companion effects for other plants, and the young leaves are edible or can be made into tea. In late summer, when the plants are each 2-3' high and just as wide, they are COVERED with light blue flowers that the bees love.-Diggity

Luan Plywood Underlayment
I have seen many times here that 1/4" Luan plywood isn't good for underlayment. Some of the men where we go to church are redoing the floor in the kitchen of the preacher's house, it has stick down tile on 1/4' plywood, over old flooring, over particle board, then plywood decking for the subfloor. When I was building I would leave the flooring to the flooring pros so I really don't know which way to go here. The men want to remove the stick down, the 1/4 inch plywood then put 1/4 luan plywood back down then tile or sheet vinyl.
I suggested they use a 1/4 inch sanded plywood instead of Luan, is this correct?
luan used to be what everyone used under sheet vinyl or 12" selfstick. luan or particleboard has no place under ceramic tile. if they decide on ceramic tile then the particleboard should be removed and replaced with 5/8 or 3/4 plywood, then 1/4 cementboard over that applied following manufacturers guidlines.
I prefer the 2/8" sanded plywood myself.
No luan please.
Luan has voids in the plys and can collapse. Use only underlayment grade plywood for vinyl or vinyl tile.
Luan was big back in the day people still use the stuff now.
Luan can also cause staining and glue reliece.
Ever seen a light colored vinyl floor that always looks dirty?
If you have to prove it to some old timers at the church go on the web site of the company that made the flooring before they lay it.
Also make sure they attach it every 4" on the edges, and 6 to 8" in the field.
I use a narrow crown pneumatic staple gun set in automatic to lay it. You can do a whole sheet in less then 2 min. and not have to go back and fill every nail hole. You still have to fill all the seams.
Thanks fellows, I really do appreciate your help. I just had another thought since this floor has particle board over plywood, will the 1 1/4 inch narrow crown staples hold or will I need a longer staple to go further into the plywood subfloor?
Well the fact that you can cut it with a razor blade knife is good enough for me not to use it.
Flooting hardwood floors
I'm installing flooting hardwood in my house.The sub floor has a little give in them is this something that will mess up my new floors.
Define 'a little'----you may be just fine---but we need a little more info---what is the subfloor made of and how much does it flex?
Could you start a new thread in 'flooring'? many members won't read through an old thread like this one----go to 'flooring' click on 'new thread'---Mike------

|Out of control Idle Speed Controller; Trying to troubleshoot

I have been trying to troubleshoot an out of control idle speed control (isc) motor on my beloved 1998 Chev Metro 1.0 base.
This thing has gone crazy! When starting from cold, the idle is way too low (the ISC is withdrawn fully.) Once the engine warms up (a few minutes) the idle increases over the course of another few minutes until the engine is racing so fast I have to shut it down. I don't have tach on this car, but it seems to be floored. The 'piston' or actuator or whatever on the ISC seems almost fully extended and will not retract on its own.
To work around this, I have had to manually energize the ISC with 12 volts from the battery to withdraw the actuator, then unplug the dang thing and just deal with a low warmup idle speed. This works ok for now, but it is getting colder and I can't warm up the car without my freezing foot on the accelerator.
It seems as though the ISC is being commanded to do this.
Otherwise the car runs perfectly.
What I have done so far:
- Swapped the relay for another one
- Removed, cleaned and lubed the ISC, including electrical contacts.
- Cleaned the connection to the Throttle Position Sensor.
- Disconnected the battery for several minutes (to reset the computer)
- I actually reversed the polarity of the motor connections to the ISC thinking that maybe it was trying to retract but actually extending for some reason. Didn't work. Crazy I know but I am out of ideas!
I am curious about a schematic I saw that describes a idle position switch incorporated into the ISC itself, but I can't see how that would work mechanically. If that switch were to fail, would the ISC try to chase the idle speed if it thought it weren't idling? I don't understand its purpose enough to simulate it in my mind.
If anybody has any suggestion, I would sure appreciate it. I am trying not to just throw new parts at it.

Jack of all trades, Master of none
|I may be wrong, but the only time I notice the idle speed controller actuate is when the A/C compressor kicks on. Other than that, mine stays retracted. Of course it doesn't really get "cold" here in South Louisiana either, lol

|Good question, Glen. No Engine light, but I scanned it anyway and got code P0123, which is Pedal Position Sensor High Input according to the device. I am assuming that is becuase the ISC was extended at the time of the test and the RPM was 2560.

|This Metro has no AC, but the ISC does help during cold start in the winter here by very slightly adjusting the idle RPM up for a minute or two, then it does (normally) seem to retract. The crazy thing to me is that the ISC seems to have enough authority mechanically to redline the engine!

Got 70 MPG?
Remove the ISC, superglue a dime to the throttle stop, and run the car like that until you locate a new ISC to put in it. Remove the dime when you get a NEW ISC of course.
The dime is just the right thickness to let the motor idle correctly when warm. You may need to feather the throttle on first startup, but once you get going, you'll be fine

Now that's a fix I can afford! I think it has come to that. So you think the ISC itself is the problem?
|Dec 8 2012, 11:50 AM Post #9
I seem to be having an issue with my ISC and an oscillating idle. It is sometimes low, sometimes changing, etc. I also have the idle drop off after I come to a stop after being under a load. I am going to change my O2 sensor today as it is well past due and might be contributing to this and other minor quirks. I am wondering if it is slow/lazy from being old and having been on an oil burning engine before this one and isn't adjusting the the conditions fast enough. I will let everyone know what happens.

I suspect it is. You'll know in 5 minutes time as that's about all the time you'll need to do what I said above.

When it's 15 below....
My neighbor's 2000 3/5 sometimes goes to redline at start up.
My 92 XFi did the same thing this week.
I have ISCs for both of us, but have not installed them yet.

Wow- doesn't get that cold here thankfully but i guess that is why the ISC has the authority.
I think I will break down so to speak and source an ISC.

Well, I took apart my suspect ISC (or IAC depending on who you ask) today and inspected the motor, which operates fine.
However, I dug deeper into the unit and uncovered a switch with mysterious magnetic mechanics that, according to a schematic I found is supposed to be open when there is pressure on the actuator (implying that one's foot is off of the accelerator and the engine is at idle)
That switch was not closing at all while I worked it internally or once the unit was back together. Basically I guess the vehicle thinks it is always at idle. This certainly is a problem, but not sure if it is THE problem. The computer does seem to 'chase' the pedal with the ISC.
I wasn't able to make the switch work, but it did give me the impetus I needed to order a new (used) ISC.
I will install it next week and reply back with results!

|I tried the ball pen spring fix I found on the forum and it did not work on my ISC. Bought a new one from CarQuest, as they seem to be the only one that stocks it. Works fine now.

PARIS, Aug 22 (Reuters) - The French government said on Monday that heavy traffic would be able to travel normally in both directions through the Frejus tunnel, a main road link between France and Italy, from Tuesday. The 13-km (8-mile) Alpine tunnel was shut after a blaze that killed two people on June 4. It was reopened earlier this month but vehicles weighing over 3.5 tonnes have had to alternate directions along the route. The French transport ministry said in a statement the ...

How can I tell if my properties have cavity walls?
Many thanks
How can I tell if my properties have cavity walls?
Many thanks
I think if you can see half bricks, then you have solid walls, as they are actually the end of a brick tying the two courses of brick together. If you just have a consistent brick pattern, (and the wall is thick enough for a cavity), you probably do.
Not necessarily JK0, I had an 1867 cottage in Hampshire, and the exterior face was Flemish bond - i.e. with bricks laid alternately lengthways (stretchers) and end on (headers) certainly giving the impression that it was single skin 9" thick wall. But when I was stripping the paint from the internal side of the same wall, I noticed that the bricks were laid English or running bond.
Changing the windows confirmed that it was actually a cavity wall - one of the earliest apparently, and meaning that each header was in fact only a half brick - in this case blackened from being on the salted outside of the fired stack of bricks in the kiln. The overall effect was a pretty black/red chequerboard effect. A farm cottage on a country estate where blissfully the LOTM had an excellent eye for architectural detail - and cheap labour...
JK0's right in saying that if it's running bond only on the outside then it'll almost certainly be a cavity. Have a look to see how thick the wall appears up the side of a window, if it's around 9", it's likely single, if it's closer to 12", likely cavity.

Sorry, I'm confused.
They are all brick and the bricks run length ways with traditional brick pattern if that makes any sense.
The properties are - a victorian semi - built 1900, a 1980 starter house, a purpose built maisonette approx 1950, ex-council house approx 1965, and a bungalow built approx 1945.
Any clarification would be good.
Many thanks
Cut a brick out and have a look/drill a hole look with an endoscope/drain camera.
What the above have been saying that if you can establish what's on eh outside and whats in the inside, and the relative thickness you can establish to a reasonable degree of certainty, the construction.
My answer is the only way to be certain
Based on the information posted, I offer my thoughts.Any action you then take is your liability. While commending individual effort, there is no substitute for a thorough review of documents and facts by paid for professional advisers.
Thanks for replies.
I might invite some companies round to quote for the work and then they can do the testing for me.
Alternatively drill a hole yourself with a long 6mm or so masonry bit in the mortar, see how deep you go before you hit the void. If it's more than 5" of solid masonry then you have no cavity.
In early cavity walls it is quite likely to be *part* cavity, or narrow cavity, when it can't be insulated.
Refer Mad Regulators to Arkell vs Pressdram.
They drill a whole in the mortar to insert the periscope, then seal it back afterwards. I had it done at home (also re. cavity wall insulation) and it takes 5 minutes.
As it was in relation to the recent offers of free cavity insulation that did not even cost me anything.
Is the brickwork visible externally or is it rendered in some way? If it is visible then you can see the 'bond' the bricks are laid in. If it is 'stretcher' bond (google it) then 99.999999999% it is a cavity wall.
There is always scope for misinterpretation.
If my posts can be interpreted in two ways, one that makes you feel angry and one that doesn't, I meant the latter.
Everyday is an opportunity to learn something new.

Appearance: Discreet coat of arms (next to the bar code).
Or next to the 'smoking kills' warning on cigarettes: Yes, but not for much longer. The Queen has withdrawn the warrant from Gallaher, makers of Benson & Hedges and Silk Cut, after 122 years.
Has she really been smoking that long? It is not known, said a palace spokesman, whether the Queen has ever smoked. Her father, grandfather and great-grandfather, however, all died smoking-related deaths (as do 120,000 loyal subjects every year).
And she had a pack to hand when that intruder crept into her bedroom. True. A cigarette was made available to Michael Fagin, as they are to all guests at Buck House.
What sort of companies get royal warrants? Can be anything from office furniture to computer software - though a glance at the 920 or so warrant-holders suggests they're closely linked to HM's hobbies.
Such as? There's Day Son & Hewitt ('equine care'), Farlow's of Pall Mall (purveyors of fishing tackle), Judge's Choice (pet food and accessories).
Do warrants guarantee commercial success? No. Simpsons of Piccadilly proudly displayed three warrants over its shopfront. Until a week ago, when it closed down.
Any other companies been struck off? Well, Guinness lost its warrant in 1996 when it emerged that the palace guests weren't drinking enough of it.
Queen no longer keen on beer and tabs. Now that's a story. The Queen Mum also withdrew her endorsement from Hatchards after the booksellers started diversifying into blue movies.
Ethical patronage, eh? Well, that's what Charles would like to see. He's thinking of imposing conditions on genetically modified crop producers seeking a warrant.
Do say: 'Have you tried Charlie's organic aftershave?'
Don't say: 'Two pints of lager and 20 B&H please, Liz."

Those 160K BTU ranges are about what a very large oil burner would do. My Oneida oil furnace is rated 250K BTU output with a nozzle rated at 3 gallons an hour and the fan speed up to max. I have a 1.5 gallon nozzle in it and the fan at half speed. That's enough to keep this 4000 square feet of drafty 17 room Victorian heated down into below zero range.
I have my own equipment to do my own tune-ups. It CO2 tests out at about 80% efficient. Because I have extra storage to get best cash price in bulk and have to keep track of when to order, I have about 15 years of measuring and tracking daily oil consumption too. For the coldest months, January and Feb, it averages 20 gallons a day. When it's below zero, it uses about 22-24 gallons a day.
So that should give some info for how well the big coal stoves compare.
Are you burning 220 lbs. of coal a day? That would be an equivalent fuel input.


text: Do you ever have those projects that you say you will do "someday" & then sort of get put off? That is until you find new inspiration to jump right in with both feet. That's what happened to me with this project. You see – when we were in the beginning stages of building this house, I found this piece of header laying in the scrap pile. I squealed & then asked the hubs to save it for me. So we took it back to our rental & it sat in our garage while we waited for our home. He kept asking me, "what are you going to do with this thing?" I kept telling him that I was going to make it into a butcher block. Well – we just hit our 2 month mark here in our home & the project is complete. I will be sharing how I actually built the butcher block in another post here soon. You see, the thing that sparked my desire to finally get it done was the addition of the Dremel Micro 8050 to my arsenal of tools. So today I am going to share How to Monogram a Butcher Block. It was so FUN & easy – even for this beginner diy-er.

The Journey · 8:34am Jan 5th, 2015
"The journey of a Thousand Miles begins with a single step."
This famous quote is quite often used to express that every lofty goal has to begin somewhere. It's depicts the image that despite the ultimate distance that must be traversed, it almost always begins somewhere small.
And yet, when translated in this manner, this quote does not correctly portray the actuality of the journey that lies ahead. The path may not only be long, but may also be treacherous as well, full of mountains, cliffs, canyons, and all manner of hostile environments. The very weather itself may beat down upon you, obscuring your vision and transforming even the most simple of paths into the most agonizing of trials.

The nanny's side of the story
This story of a nanny's love for the kids she looks after will warm your heart.
I'm going to love you forever
It's the wee hours of the morning and it seems like the whole the world is asleep, except for the two of us. It's so quiet. I don't hear a sound except for her quietly sucking on her bottle. I look down at her tiny face, then across at her twin sister who is sleeping soundly. At that moment, I am overwhelmed with love and wonder at the tiny miracles they are and I whisper quietly "I'm going to love you two forever."
I was working in my role as an overnight maternity nanny, with premature twin girls. They were the tiniest babies I had ever seen, and their parents the most devoted, but exhausted and traumatised, I had ever met. The girls' entry to the world had been far from ideal, born at 30 weeks with mum gravely ill it was a difficult time for everyone. But they had made it this far, they were home after 10 weeks spent in the neonatal intensive care unit and the special care nursery. It wasn't long before mum and dad realised they couldn't manage the night times on their own and needed at least two nights solid sleep each week, which is where I came in.
Maternity nannies like myself are trained and experienced in providing care for infants and support to parents in the post natal period. This is often done overnight, allowing parents to get some much needed sleep, and once the parents are on their feet we move on to the next family in need.
One day a week sounds perfect
It's always difficult to move on after you have spent many a night tending to a tiny baby's needs, and watching the parents grow in confidence to the point where they don't need your support any more. This time around, the idea of leaving these tiny precious beings was even more difficult to consider, so when I was no longer needed at night and mum and dad enquired if I would like to help out one day per week it didn't even take me a moment to answer "Of course, I'd love to!"
That was a little more than five years ago. My role has changed and evolved over the years and now I'm with the girls two days per week. It has been a privilege and a pleasure watching 'my' girls grow from the two of the tiniest little babies I have ever seen, to fun, confident, intelligent, resilient young children. I've witnessed all the milestones, from starting solid food to learning to sit, crawl, talk and walk. We have been on adventures to parks, zoos and museums, or just to some puddles outside that were perfect for jumping in. We have painted, drawn, glued, read, danced and sung our way through the years.
I've watched with wonder as they learn about the world around them, and start to figure out their place in it. There have been tears, foot stamping, mess and mayhem, but most of all it has been pure joy spending my days with them. I don't feel like I'm at work, they are simply a wonderful part of my life and I can't remember what it was like before they were a part of my world.
The best arrival at work
I get to spend two days per week with two little people who I love, who love me and who never cease to amaze me with their creativity, kindness and respect for others. My arrival at 'work' is received with smiles, leaps of excitement, or hugs; I can't think of any other 'jobs' where this is the case.
Last year, they started at three-year-old kindergarten. I was excited for them, and proud of them too, but I was also anxious about handing 'my girls' over to someone else, even for short periods of time. It was a time of emotional reflection on our journey together, and just how far they had come. I accompanied their mum to drop off on the first day, and left holding back tears of pride but also of loss, feeling like all of a sudden they needed me a little bit less. They had a wonderful team of kinder teachers and they continued to grow and gain confidence as children this age do. This year it wasn't as difficult to see them off on their next adventure into four-year-old kindergarten; they are growing, learning and generally becoming fantastic little people.
It is with apprehension that I look forward to them starting school next year. It's not them I'm worried about though, it's me! I know the girls will be ready and excited to be going to school and we have already been talking about it. I am confident they will cope well with the transition, and enjoy their learning. But when we see them off at the school gate it will be the end of an era. It will be the end of five-and-three-quarter years of spending at least one day of my week with them and I am going to miss them terribly. Our relationship will continue through the friendship that has developed between their parents and I, but life as I know it will change. I think I'm ready, I have some exciting plans but I will grieve about the change and the end of a wonderful period of my life.
What a privilege and pleasure it has been being accepted into their lives and being such a part of these years of their lives. I will be forever indebted to their parents for entrusting their children to me and affording me this experience.
Just recently, as I tucked them into bed one night I said "Goodnight, I love you forever."
"How did you know?" one of them asked.
"How did I know I'd love you forever? Well, one night when you were a tiny, tiny baby I was giving you a bottle in the night, and I looked down at you, then over at your sister, and I felt my heart fill up with love and I knew then that I would love you forever."
Giggling, she said, "I love you forever, too."

Everybody's talking about Sarah
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin sure gave a rowsing speech at the Republican National Convention.
It put Republicans in the same Messiah-like trance Democrats were in when their current presidential candidate Barack Obama wowed the Democratic National Convention with his keynote address there four years ago. Her zingers, delivered with both aplomb and a smile, had the delegates in the convention hall roaring and Democrats watching at home bouncing off the walls. What a show.
But there's more to Palin than just a speech. Her record in Alaska, particularly her successful stance taking on a corrupt party establishment and powerful oil companies, is impressive.
The Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel took a look at Sarah's rise to power in today's edition. It is an interesting story.

We went on our first camping trip in the summer. It has been 4 years since we had a holiday so I was really looking forward to getting away and living in a tent for 2 weeks. As we all know camping is accessible to all.
All the best laid plans of mice and men
It all went wrong as soon as we arrived we had the "look " from the other campers. My kids were running round screaming as any child would do, being excited about being on their first camping holiday. They were even invited to go and watch a movie while Mr Savvy put the tent up. Funny as soon as I mentioned they were autistic they were kicked out. At this point they had done nothing except stand at the door way of the tent. This should have set all the alarm bells ringing that we weren't going to be accepted.
As the week progressed peoples attitudes towards us grew even more frosty. I wouldn't mind if we had warranted the looks and stares. You could see the sigh of relief in the campers faces as we went out for "drives" . Really it was our escape from all the ignorance that surrounded us. Yet nothing was said to the kids that shouted and screamed till past midnight, but I suppose that was different. They were normal.
In an ideal world it would be good if sites were more aware of autism so when they got the complaints they would be more understanding. Also it would be good if other campers were a bit more tolerant. Listen if you wanted a quiet site in the day then go to an adult only site. Don't go to a family site then moan when a child dares run around having fun.
Our holiday was ruined as we were always on guard and aware of the kids. It got so bad we came home a week early as the kids became more wound up and upset. The kids screaming is NOT them being naughty . It's their way of saying I feel overwhelmed and can't cope. My children have autism which is NOT a disease so why treat it as one. I always thought that camping was accessible to everyone…..
Camping is in fact good for a child with autism as it gives them their own space i.e the tent. They should be allowed to feel free and roam to just like any other child. I appreciate they don't sense danger and some have no concept of danger but if they are being supervised I can't see the problem. The kids didn't bother anyone so why were people bothered about them.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of ALL or AML.
Prior therapy Patients must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy prior to entering this study.
ALL patients must have had two or more prior therapeutic attempts defined as
- Persistent (BM blast>5%) initial disease after two induction attempts, or
- Persistent (BM blast>5%) after re-induction attempt for first relapse or
- Relapse after one re-induction attempt (2nd relapse)
AML patients must have one or more prior therapeutic attempts defined as
- Refractory (BM blast>20%) initial disease after one induction attempts, or
- Persistent (BM blast>5%) initial disease after two induction attempts, or
- Relapse after one induction attempt (1st relapse)
- Relapse after stem cell transplant: Patients are eligible 12 weeks after allogeneic stem cell transplant as long as patients are not actively being treated for GvHD and have recovered from transplant-related toxicities. Patients are eligible 8 weeks from the day of stem cell infusion for myeloablative autologous stem cell transplant, if hematological and all other eligibility criteria are met.
- Age: ≤ 21 years.
- Performance status: ECOG 0-2.
Patients must be free of significant functional deficits in major organs, but the following eligibility criteria may be modified in individual cases.
- Heart: a shortening fraction ≥ 28%
- Liver: total bilirubin < 2 × upper limit of normal; ALT < 3 × upper limit of normal.
- Kidney: creatinine <2 × normal or a creatinine clearance (GFR) > 60 ml/min/1.73m2.
- Patients must lack any active viral infections or active fungal infection.
- Patients (or one of parents if patients age < 19) should sign informed
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant or nursing women.
- Malignant (except acute leukemia) or nonmalignant illness that is uncontrolled or whose control may be jeopardized by complications of study therapy.
- Psychiatric disorder that would preclude compliance.
- Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study.
