movie trailer (apple.com - quicktime)
NOTE: This spoiler was sent in by boots013 who says..."I was disappointed, as I thought the trailers looked pretty funny. Unfortunately, the trailers show almost all of the humor in the film. The two leads do an OK job, and they seem to have a certain chemistry, but the plot holes are quite frequent. My mind started drifting during the flick, thinking of ways they could've made it better- certainly not a good sign. Anyway, here's a spoiler, and man- was it tough to write this without adding any of my own commentary...
The movie starts off atop a European mountain range, where we meet BNS Special Agent Alex Scott (Owen Wilson). He's on a rescue mission to save an American pilot, held captive in a prison camp. After triggering an avalanche and sliding down the mountain, he finds the pilot (inexplicably already waiting outside the prison) and questions him regarding the whereabouts of the pilot's "top secret" jet. The pilot confesses he sold it to a man named Gundars. The two are chased by an army. The pilot is killed, while Alex is rescued by an awaiting BNS chopper.
Next, we see boxing champ Kelly Robinson (Eddie Murphy) making his way to the ring for his latest bout. After defeating his opponent handily, we learn that he will be defending his title the following week, in Budapest.
He is shown in his suite after this fight, relaxing with his entourage. We see that he is a cocky, arrogant, self-centered S.O.B. He receives a call from the President (G.W.B., as he is referred to) on his cell phone. The President asks for his help with a secret assignment, details to follow. Kelly accepts without hesitation, as he feels he is unstoppable.
Back to BNS Headquarters, where Alex is being de-briefed following his rescue attempt. There are a few 'Bond-like' scenes involving the demonstration of new spy gadgets, as Alex is lead around the room. BNS has discovered information about Gundars (Malcolm McDowell). He is a wealthy entrepreneur, living in Budapest. He has obtained the prototype of the U.S.'s secret new stealth plane, called the 'Switchblade'. It can turn itself invisible. Gundars plans to auction it off illegally. That's where Kelly Robinson will come in. Alex will use Kelly's famed status to gain access to the socialite scene in Budapest. Alex is also to be teamed up with another BNS agent, Rachael. Apparently Alex has had a crush on Rachael for some time now, but has never had the chance to work with her. We also meet the flashy, always successful 'super agent', Carlos (Gary Cole).
Alex is jealous of Carlos' success, and the fact that Carlos is Rachael's former lover. Alex and Kelly meet via video conferencing.
Alex arrives at the airport and discovers just how arrogant and self-centered Kelly is. Kelly informed his entourage that his "special assignment" was to take care of the President's 'mentally challenged' stepson, referring to Alex. The crew leave for Budapest aboard Kelly's private jet. However, Kelly wants no part of Alex's mission plan until Alex shares one of his gadgets with Kelly. it involves a contact lens and hidden earpiece, enabling one wearer to see and hear everything the other can. After some more arguing though, Kelly still refuses to adhere to Alex's plans.
Even after landing, Kelly ignores Alex at the hotel in order to leave with a beautiful woman he meets in the street. As the two walk away, a black van appears and hooded men kidnap Kelly. He awakes tied to a chair, surrounded by "terrorists" and the mystery woman, asking for his mission details. He refuses to give any info. Just then, Alex comes running in, gun blazing. After 'rescuing' Kelly, the group reveals that they are all BNS agents, and the mystery woman is really BNS agent, Rachael (Famke Janssen).
This was just a test -- which Kelly passed with flying colors. He is so impressed with himself that he decides to follow Alex's plan, in order to be a good "agent". He figures if he can beat his boxing opponent AND save the world in one day, then he will surely receive at least a parade in his honor.
The two go to Gundars' mansion, the site of a huge pre-fight bash. All the while, world rulers are being escorted to Gundars' private chambers to bid on the Switchblade. Kelly manages to slip a pen containing a homing device into Gundars' pocket, before causing a scene allowing Alex to sneak inside the mansion. Kelly then somehow manages to get inside Gundars' office, as Alex is attempting to break in. The pair is discovered and a long chases ensues, culminating in the two hiding in a sewer. Here, the two bond as they sit and wait for the henchman to leave.
They return to the temporary BNS headquarters, where Kelly helps Alex put the moves on Rachael, using the eye/ ear gadget mentioned earlier. Just as things heat up, Gundars' homing device goes on the move. He is tailed to a sauna, where, thanks to Kelly's incompetance, another gunfight ensues. Gundars' escapes and Rachael hops in a nearby car to follow him, as Alex suspects a trap. Her car blows up as she pulls into traffic.
Heartbroken, Alex (with Kelly) walks back to the temporary HQ. On the way, they have an argument over Kelly not taking things seriously, therefore getting Rachael killed. It evolves into a street fight, broken up by the police. Kelly is arrested (as Alex speaks the language and blames the fight on him). Alex returns to the HQ, to find it destroyed. He gathers a few weapons and heads off to Gundars'.
Meanwhile, Kelly is released from jail and goes to the arena for his fight, still angry with Alex for blaming him for Rachael's death.
Alex gets back to the mansion and hides in a car trunk. Gundars takes the highest bidder to the hidden location of the Switchblade (atop a bridge). As Alex creeps up on Gundars and his men, he is captured. He is tied up and DUN-DUN-DUN it is revealed that Rachael is still alive, and is a double agent, actually working with Gundars. The winning bidder has his men strap a small nuclear device to the plane. Gundars gives the ignition code to the pilot. When the pilot enters the code, it is incorrect, and the plane's self-destruct mechanism kicks in. Since Alex was assigned to fly the plane back, Rachael says he must know the correct code. As she is beating the information out of him, he triggers his watch, activating the eye/ ear correspondence he has with Kelly.
Back in the ring, Kelly sees what is happening and knocks his opponent flat with one shot. He then rushes over to the bridge and manages to rescue Alex. Another gunfight takes place, in which Gundars is shot. Alex does not input the correct code, and with only seconds left just rips the control panel out and heaves it over the side of the bridge, where it explodes. As the fighting takes place, Super Agent Carlos parachutes onto the bridge and saves the day, saying he knew Rachael was a double agent all along. Kelly thinks he is lying, so he holds a gun on both of them. As Alex tries to sort it out, Carlos attacks him, prompting Kelly to knock him out. Rachael flees in the chaos, stealing Gundars' valuable laptop. Turns out she WAS the double agent, and Carlos WAS there to help. Alex and Kelly get into the Switchblade and take off. Because there was some damage done to it during the gun battle, and it crashes into the river. The nuclear device floats to the surface, and the two realize that although they lost the plane, they saved millions of lives and are heroes anyways.
The epilogue is 36 hours later. Rachael is shown attempting to transfer funds using the laptop in a hotel lobby somewhere. A chat window pops up informing her that she has been tracked. She looks up to see Alex and Kelly waiting for her. She attempts to sweet talk Alex, but Kelly is there to remind him that she is a traitor. As she is lead away, the two notice a newspaper with the headline reading 'Super Agent Saves World', depicting Carlos riding in a limo with the President during a celebration parade. Kelly whines about how it should be his parade.

I've been wondering lately how much fun it would be if Square Enix where to make a proper console Parasite Eve game or an HD remake. So, for fun I decided to remix one of my favorite original tracks from the 1st Parasite Eve on the original Playstation.
At the time, this track was awesome because it perfected created tension for the player during boss battles and key survival moments in the game. I hope you like it. Enjoy!

Then I moved on to making zipped purses including lots of make up bags which you can see here.
More recently, I made a few zipped coin purses for craft fairs -
It soon became apparent that as with most sewing related projects, there's always more than one way to make something.
I really like making zipped bags with square bases, just because it makes them so much 'roomier'. Up until recently I've been making box bottomed bags/purses etc by sewing up the ends as squares, then folding the seams together, measuring, sewing, cutting etc. It's a painfully boring method and takes far too long for my liking! Plus there's the added stress that you have to be quite exact in your measuring...pah! It just wasn't for me.
I've noticed in quite a few tutorials there's another method which involves cutting squares (of equal sizes) from the bottoms of all the squares - I'm probably not explaining this very well, but this is what I mean -
|Pattern from 'Sew Pretty Homestyle' Tone Finnanger
The first one I made started out as these 2 patchwork squares - gorgeously pastel and vintage -
I then quilted them and turned them into a BEAUTIFUL cosmetic bag! Unfortunately since it's for a gift, I can't actually show you the finished product, but as soon as it hits Dec 26th I will be showing all of my Christmas gift makes!
I was so happy with the results from following this new techniques that I made another.... This time I dug out my Jelly Roll that I won and put together a brighter piece of patchwork. Once quilted and sewn up into a purse, here's how it looks -
It's also fully lined - with no raw seams :)
And then I got an order for one so I got to make another! I was asked specifically for one with pink, purple and blues with a pastel/vintage look. So here's what I came up with -

When most people look at soil, they just see dirt. When I look at soil, I see billions of microorganisms crawling atop one another, consuming the dead in a feasting frenzy that stops for nothing save a deep freeze. I see microbes and their enzymes, the digestive juices that break down, transform and release all the energy tied up in our planet's terrestrial ecosystems.
Through their remarkable ability to decompose nearly anything that comes their way, soil microbes collectively represent a planetary recycling factory, one that takes carbon from dead organic matter back to the atmosphere as CO2. Soils "exhale" CO2 for the same reason you and I do. We've eaten something, broken down the carbon bonds that hold it together, and extracted all the energy that we could. CO2 is the generic waste product of cellular metabolism, the last bit of carbon that our own metabolic inefficiency precludes us from using. Ecologists have coined the term soil respiration to describe the collective exhaling of microbial carbon decomposition.

By Nick Teale
Arsène Wenger has refused to rule out signing Fulham defender Chris Smalling.
However, the Arsenal manager insists that there is no truth in reports linking the 20-year-old with an immediate move to Emirates Stadium.
The London-born defender joined Fulham from non-league side Maidstone United in June 2008 and made his first-team debut against Everton at the end of last season.
Smalling has been capped three times by England Under-21s and has made four appearances for Fulham so far this term.
Recent media reports have suggested that Wenger is interested in bringing the defender to Arsenal. But the manager says there is no truth behind the speculation, though that may change in the future.
"He is a player we know," confirmed the Frenchman. "But there is no truth in it at the moment.
"Maybe in the future. 'At the moment' is at the moment. [But] I never rule anything out."

The Appification Of Content
PSFK talks with Mark Mulhern of JWT in anticipation of his presentation at the upcoming PSFK Future Of Mobile Marketing Salon in Austin.
For our upcoming PSFK SALON at SXSW this year, we've invited JWT's Mark Mulhern to discuss the future of mobile tagging. We're excited that Mark will joining us at this year's salon in Austin. Here are some questions we asked him in preparation for the event.
What emerging trend, idea, or technology are your excited to see develop in the future?
I feel like there is a huge opportunity in the convergence of traditional broadcast media, mobile devices, social media and the "appification" of content.
We've all been talking about the dual-screen habit and the social media Backchannel for a while, but I feel interesting new things are starting to happen in this space now.
A couple of examples from just this weekend – the live online commentary of the Ireland –v- Scotland rugby game at BBC.com blended not only the typical high quality live blogging, but also viewer tweets, third-party professional input and imagery. These elements were deftly blended into a really compelling whole that felt deeper and more interesting to me than just a normal Twitterstream. BBC.com is starting to be not just a Substitute when you are away from your TV but a rich, curated Complement to the game when you are in front of your TV.
Separately, the Oscar app on the iPad acted more as a Sidechannel into ABC's Oscar coverage allowing the user to access multiple live feeds and information and choose their own experience. Ultimately the experience wasn't that great- the feeds just never seemed to capture what you expected- but the app worked perfectly in executing something very complicated, ABC got people to pay for content that is basically a by-product and they demonstrated the opportunity that lies ahead.
These two examples show how two content owners are expanding their offering to meet the changing desires of their audience. I'm excited by the trend and interested to think about if and how other types of brands can be part of this emerging consumer behavior.
Have you seen any advertising campaigns that are using mobile tags in particularly innovative ways?
Ha! I don't have to go very far for this one. I work beside the Macy's team here at JWT and believe that the work that the work that they are doing is very innovative.
Their new campaign, called "Backstage Pass," deepens the retail experience by putting QR codes around the store where consumers can scan and receive exclusive fashion content and advice. You can get the specifics by texting LEARN to 62297 (see, how mobile is that!).
From a deployment perspective I admire the scale at which they've done this (nationwide), the involvement of 150,000 in-store staff and nice touches like adding Wi-Fi capability in-store to help with streaming video.
From a conceptual perspective I like it because it shows us how we now use mobile to truly augment our day-to-day lives. It's typical to use mobile as a bridge from offline to online (QR codes in press ads) but using it to add depth to reality is much less typical. Credit to the agency and client here for seeing the trend and helping to take it mainstream in a meaningful way that works.

While it's occasionally finicky with lead semi-wadcutters, it's extremely reliable with FMJ and Rem Golden Sabres. This past year, I've also started carrying XD9 Service and Subcompacts. My choice is mostly with what I'm wearing. While I'm a 1911 fan from bulls-eye experience, I actually shoot the XD better in IDPA.

The American Lung Association has teamed with the University of Vermont Certification for Sustainable Transportation to launch Vermont Idle Free, a free online certification for Vermont diesel truck drivers and fleet managers about the benefits of idling reduction.
Vermont's idling reduction law, which became effective May 5, 2014, limits idling of all motor vehicles to no more than five minutes in a 60-minute period. While there are exemptions, primarily for emergencies and equipment use, idling is unnecessary in most cases. This certification, which takes approximately 45 minutes to complete, will help drivers understand:
The program can result in cost savings and healthier employees. There are several options for drivers to take the course:
You can take the certification at https://erating.mycrowdwisdom.com/diweb/institution?guid=cee7bbbc-817b-4d10-8d59-3a7f7fb1bda9 (allow 40-50 minutes).

This dissertation discusses the works of Sarah Stickney Ellis in the context of Victorian culture and argues that Ellis's ideas about women, which have frequently been described as "anti-feminist" by twentieth and twenty-first century scholars, were often progressive and even proto-feminist. The first chapter discusses Ellis's writings on education, where she argues that girls require moral, physical, and intellectual training. This chapter demonstrates that Ellis, though not necessarily radical, is more liberal than she has been given credit for in terms of her educational scheme for women. The second chapter focuses on Ellis's views on courtships and engagements. Rather than persuading women to become meek and subservient wives, her recommendations for women before marriage clearly demonstrate that women should avoid matches where their own needs will not be met. She warns women away from self-sacrifice and instead emphasizes the importance of finding a man who will be able to fulfill his duties as a husband. Ultimately, she argues that women are better off remaining single than risking an unfortunate marriage. The third chapter focuses on Ellis's efforts to enlarge a woman's sphere of influence. Specifically, this chapter investigates the complex layers of rhetoric that Ellis uses to maintain an overtly submissive stance while subversively promoting female empowerment. This strategy, which frames Ellis's most famous work, The Women of England, imitates the tactics Ellis suggests her readers might use with their husbands and other men. While consistently deprecating both herself and the role of women in general, she paradoxically argues that women are of utmost importance in Victorian society, and even assigns them more power than men. The final chapter examines Ellis's temperance fiction. This chapter focuses on Family Secrets, a collection of temperance tales Ellis published in 1842. In these stories, Ellis disrupts the ideology of separate spheres by suggesting that this philosophy is a cause of alcoholism. Through stories about drunken men and women, Ellis shows that society's arbitrary divide between public and private is dangerous. Thus, like her other writings, Ellis's temperance fiction expands a woman's sphere into the public arena. Simultaneously, she argues that men must participate in the domestic sphere.

After an odd week of play in the Pac-12, there was a little shakeup in the rankings. The top squad remains the in the same spot, while there was a few slight adjustments among the teams attempting to stay within striking distance.
There is still plenty of basketball left to play in the Pac-12, but it's becoming clear who are contenders and who are not.
1. Oregon
The Ducks remain the only undefeated team in conference play and now hold a two-game advantage in the loss column over UCLA, Arizona and Arizona State. What's even more encouraging for UO is that its schedule is relatively favorable the rest of the way. Oregon's remaining slate excludes the Bruins, Wildcats and Sun Devils and includes eight games against squads with conference records below .500.
Putting the Bruins second may irk some fans, but it's tough to argue putting them anywhere else right now. Sure, they were beaten badly at ASU, but they were able to defeat the Wildcats by double digits in Tucson earlier in the week. The Sun Devils could have a case at the second spot, but that would mean leapfrogging Arizona, a team they recently lost to by 17 on their home floor.
UCLA moves to second for beating the stronger team on the road, but its loss to Arizona State shows just how inconsistent the Bruins can be.
3. Arizona
The Wildcats rebounded from an ugly home loss to UCLA by stomping USC on Saturday. Still, the loss to the Bruins is a little alarming because it exposed the Wildcats' lack of point guard play and it shows the team still has some growing to do. Given their remaining schedule, which features six contests versus programs with losing conference records, they are far from out of it. If UA wants to stay in the race, however, it's going to have avoid performing like it did last Thursday evening.
4. Arizona State
One could make an argument for having ASU higher, but it's hard to justify moving the Sun Devils ahead of an Arizona squad that beat them by 17 points on their home floor. Arizona State certainly made a statement against UCLA over the weekend though. Most observers figured ASU would get rolled over by the Bruins at hom, but the exact opposite occurred.
Now the Sun Devils have a chance to prove they belong over the next few weeks. They have a series of very winnable affairs coming up before hitting a pretty tough road stretch to end the season, which features games at UCLA and at Arizona.
5. Colorado
After reeling off three victories in a row, the Buffaloes are now dead even at 4-4 in conference play. Playing teams like Cal, Stanford and Wazzu certainly helped matters, but CU was awfully close to being in the same category as those squads before these last three victories occurred.
Contending for the conference crowd is a bit out of reach for Colorado at this point and their schedule is still pretty tough considering the Buffaloes have yet to play Oregon this season. There is a chance for Colorado to make a run at the big dance, though, so it cannot afford too many more losses if it wants to remain in contention for the NCAA Tournament.
6. Washington
After starting 4-0 in the Pac-12, the Huskies have stumbled in their past three, which includes losses to Utah and Oregon State. It doesn't get much easier for UW either. The Huskies still play Arizona, Arizona State and UCLA twice apiece with a home game against Oregon in between. After looking like a potential Pac-12 contender two weeks ago, Washington now faces a stretch that makes it very tough to climb back into the race.
7. California
The Golden Bears split their road trip to the mountain schools, leaving them at 3-4 in conference play. After defeating Utah, Cal was clobbered by Colorado in a game where the Bears could have finally surpassed the .500 mark in Pac-12 play. Unfortunately for California, the Buffaloes seem to be getting back on track and had no problem dispatching the Golden Bears. Until someone other than Allen Crabbe and Justin Cobbs contributes consistently, Cal will struggle to get above .500.
8. Stanford
The Cardinal have yet to reel off consecutive victories since conference play started and stand at 3-4 after splitting a pair to Colorado and Utah last week. The next three weeks are crucial for Stanford as it faces Arizona, ASU, Oregon and UCLA over that time frame. It's a tough task for the Cardinal to overcome, but they will need to come away victorious in a couple of those in order to stay afloat.
The Trojans play before last week was a bit encouraging, but after getting swept in Arizona, they stand at 3-5 and have a tough road back to respectability. USC is all but eliminated from postseason contention at this point barring an unlikely Pac-12 tournament run.
10. Washington State
The Cougars lone two victories happen to be against the only squads they are ahead of in the conference. Wazzu continues to be a one-man army and with an 11-9 overall record and numerous likely losses ahead, Washington State is playing for nothing more than pride at this point.
11. Oregon State
OSU played well – relatively speaking – in non-conference play, but the Beavers have completely fallen apart against the Pac-12. They finally picked up their first victory of the season against a struggling Washington team, but losing at home to the Cougars took any potential wind out of OSU's sails.
12. Utah
After losing to Cal and getting crushed by a mediocre Stanford squad, there is no doubting the logic behind placing Utah at the bottom. Other than an upset over UW more than a week ago, the Utes have proven to be the worst team in the Pac-12 since the start of the conference schedule.

Today was my first full day working at the range. What a great time I had.
Now, I am not getting paid for this job. I am a Range Assistant. An unpaid position at RangeUSA (http://www.rangeusa.com) and it entails helping get students where they need to be (on the range, in the class rooms, whatever) grading tests, assisting with the range portion of the course (setting up targets, assisting with student range problems like jammed guns and stuff) setting up teaching materials for the instructor, and any thing else the instructor needs. We also help out on the floor as needed in the gun shop itself.
I was there for 10 ours today and it honestly felt like I was there maybe an hour or two. We were very busy. 29 people in the TN Permit to carry class that lasted 8 hours, and just 2 students in the Street Handgun Level III class that lasted 4 hours.
One funny, but sad at the same time, story from today. There is no live ammo allowed in the class room for the Permit class. We ask the students for any live ammo to be left behind the counter when they check in out front for the class. Then, one of us stands at the entrance to the class room and reminds them that no live ammo is allowed in the class room and asks if they have any. Then, the instructor is in the class room and reminds them again that no live ammo is allowed in the class room and asks, again, if any of them have any. All the students said no, they had no live ammo.
Then the instructor started class and explained that live ammo was any ammunition that if you put it in the gun and pulled the trigger, the gun would go BANG!
A woman in the front row raised her hand and asked "Would practice ammo be considered live?" The instructor answered "Yes". So she says "OH, well I have some of that." and proceeds to pull out 3, 50 round boxes of ammo and place them on the table in front of her.
She just stared at the ammo with a look on her face like a monkey doing a math problem and couldn't understand why the instructor, myself and the other range assistant was so dumbfounded about her bringing the ammo into the class room. The instructor had to explain to her that even though it was "practice ammo" if she shot someone with it, accidentally or on purpose, they would not be "practicing" being dead. It was in fact real ammo. She appologized and seemed to understand but only just barely.
She passed the written test and the shooting qualification by the way. She did have the lowest score on the shooting part of the course however. But she did pass.
All in all, I had a great time and I can not wait to do it again. I get a pretty sweet discount on merchandise too. I bought a $60 Don Hume holster for $34.00! And I bought a nice Sigarms T-shirt that usually sells for $15.00 for $6.60. I get to buy 2 guns at cost per year and I will be taking advantage of that perk as soon as Christmas is over and paid for. And I get to shoot for free (no lane fees) and I can take any class offered there for free. I will be taking advantage of that like crazy very soon!
I am really loving this gig.

Nederland, Colorado...
January 2-4 I'll be up there hitting it up. I've got a buddy who works there so we'll be around all 3 days...
Anyone game for meeting up around Corona?
Nederland=Eldora "Resort" If you could even call it that....
I'll be down to hit eldora I've never been before. I can probably round up a few others too, but you must get my pre-warning: I like to have safety meetings and toss back a few ripples while I ride and some people don't like that. Not sure where Carona is.
Corona Bowl part of Eldora Mtn?
Unfortunately, I'll probably be working at Winter Park.
I live in Golden so it's not that far of a drive for me. I might be out of town but I'll let you know.
Whats eldora like? ive never ridden it. Ive heard it was essentially a foothill by boulder.
and since im not fmailier with nay of you guys would it be cool? and are we talking rails and park or backcountry?
Never been to Eldora but Im pretty sure they have opportunity for park or powder or whatever, and anyone can come, the more the better.
Too bad you won't be in Nederland at the beginning of March to celebrate Frozen Dead Guy Days.
Nothing like seeing coffin races down the street among other creepy things...
CO people are strange:cheeky4:
Some weirdo kept his dead grandfather on dry ice in a shed for 3 years before authorities finally "found out"...and only then because the weird dude was getting evicted.
Anyway Frozen Dead Guy Days:
Frozen Dead Guy Days is celebrated from Friday through Sunday on the second full weekend of March. Coffin races, a slow-motion parade, and "Frozen Dead Guy" lookalike contests are held. A documentary on "Grandpa Bredo", called Grandpa's in the Tuff Shed, is shown. A newer version of the film, Grandpa's Still in the Tuff Shed, was premiered in Nederland on March 7, 2003.
Other events include a tour of the Tuff Shed where Grandpa is still frozen; a "polar plunge" for those brave enough to go swimming in Colorado in early March (which generally requires breaking through the ice); a dance, called "Grandpa's Blue Ball"; pancake breakfasts; a market showcasing local artists; snowshoe races, and snow sculpture contests. Glacier Ice Cream, headquartered in the nearby city of Boulder, makes a flavor specifically for the festival (named, appropriately enough, Frozen Dead Guy), consisting of fruit-flavored blue ice cream mixed with crushed Oreo cookies and sour gummy worms.
Are you going to be there blondie?
if so i think so. depends if i can get off work. im not one for powder though like at all. does anyone know anything about there parks?

Summer Schools
Summer Schools are ideal opportunities to explore topics outside the curriculum, intensify knowledge and networks, gain required credits. Often the intensive 2-3 week programmes include travel and thereby consolidate language and culture skills.
At the FHNW School of Business we organise or participate in several summer schools.
|BSwiss-International Business Summer School
The International Business Summer School in Basel (Switzerland) is a two-week programme. It is open to Swiss and international Bachelor students. During the two exciting and challenging weeks participants attend courses, visit companies, discover local culture and establish networks with people from Switzerland and around the world.

Insulation resistance is one of the important readings of marine electrical equipment systems and serves as the best guide to indicate the health of the equipment. Insulation resistance is measured between the insulated conductors and earth and between conductors.
The insulation resistance is measured by the equipment known as meggar, which is a high resistance meter with a test voltage of about 500 volts dc. The 500 V is produced with the help of a hand driven generator or with the help of batteries and electronic voltage charger.
The 500 V test charge is suitable for testing equipments which are rated for 440 volts AC. The equipments to be tested for insulation resistance must be disconnected from the live power supply and the supply to be locked down to prevent any accidents.
On ships, the insulation resistance of all the motors is checked from time to time and values are logged as a part of planned maintenance system. The insulation resistance of the machinery reduces with increase in temperature. The reasons for increase in temperature may be due to dust deposits on the windings or improper ventilation. The resistance is checked between the windings U-V, V-W, W-U and between U & earth, V& earth, W& earth.
The readings are logged down and the graph is plotted and the trend of insulation resistance is checked. If the reading is reduced to a very low value then the windings have to be checked and cleaned and the readings are to be taken again.

But it was a learning experience, with some outstanding drills! Plus you get Clint\'s memorable interactive lecture.


text: Hello, my name is Jeff. I'm from the Charleston area in SC. I am trying to get rid of my old car and get into an 04 WRX. I have only found 1 in the area so far and I'm going to test drive it later today. The guy said it was in an accident, so I probably wont buy it. I can, however, make sure I want to buy one. The numbers look good on paper. I've never driven an awd car before. I've never driven a turbo car before. So it should be fun. I'm looking for a 4 door that is fun(manual trans and an engine with some power) and RELIABLE.

I have an old model also and it has the best trigger I have ever pulled. That's quite a pistol you have. Congrats, and that was a good price.
I have been carrying Blackhawks for years. Love'um.
I was trolling the used section at the local gun store and came acrossed a 6.5" .357 Mag Old 3 screw unconverted model Blackhawk for the low $300 range. I bought it not even knowing what a Blackhawk was. I just knew I've always wanted a long barrel .357 Mag and this seemed like a good deal. I've since researched it, and come to the conclusion that I got a pretty fair shake what do you think? FYI she has 2 or 3 beauty marks (She is about 50 years old).
I've been putting off getting a revolver because I can never shoot them worth a damn. My friends let me shoot their smiths or Ruger SA/DA newer model 6" .44 or .357s and I can never hit anything.
This Blackhawk is a different deal. Most accurate pistol shooting I've ever pulled off was the first time I shot my Blackhawk yesterday (really not saying too much)
I know it's not fair to compare autos with 5" barrel to a 6.5" barrel revolver, but I can't help but notice that the first day I shoot my Blackhawk, I can shoot it more accurately than pistols I've put thousands of rounds through. I like it so much, I've already bid on a .22lr./.22mag single six on GB, and I'm thinking about getting a .45LC or .44Mag model later.

Terrific find. Nothing like the three-screw blackhawks..
i have a "new" model blackhawk 357 with a 6 1/2 barrel the reason new is quoted is cuz my has had it since the late 60s early 70s but it is a "new model" stamped on the barrel and everything lol so either way i must agree i love the pistol more than anything its a tack driver in a powerful handgun caliber. i intend on eventually getting another blackhawk 357 6 1/2 so i can "retire" mine as i want it to last long enough to pass on to my grandkids one day. good find i strongly recommend the blackhawk to anyone interested in a single action revolver, hell i just spent alil more than that a few days ago on a ruger gp100 its a sweet gun also but the blackhawk takes the cake on smooth shooting and accuracy, even tho the gp shoots just as straight in single action.

Yep, but you should have someone help you. You will need a third hand.
Yep, but you should have someone help you. You will need a third hand.
I've got a couple of hundred miles on with the Boaron's risers and I like the way they let me sit back in the saddle. yes, the brake and clutch lines were tight, but, they worked. The bigger stress point I found was the electric going from the head light into the handle bars. I'm going to ask my service guy at the dealer to see if he can loosen them up. It works fine , but I wasn't very comfortable with how hard I had to stretch them. Overall, I'm very happy with the look and feel of the Boarn's risers.
Spring is getting close to Ohio:
You need to open the headlight bucket and reposition the wires inside the bucket. I don't know how you got the wires stretched but if you didn't open the light bucket they have to be real tight. Take the head light ring apart and reposition the wires in the bucket. I really like my Baron risers.
I have put a couple of hundred miles on the bike now that the snow is gone. The risers are just what I needed. Very comfortable, cables are OK and now I need a long trip for the final test. I would highly recommend the Barron's riser for quality, looks and functionality.
Does anyone have the Baron risers with the Memphis Shade windshield? I think my brake line is too stretched, but I'm not sure how stretched it can get before it's a problem. (in case you didn't catch it from my statement above, I'm definately not a mechanically inclined person ) I asked my mechanic and he thinks I should move the spliter to give it more length. Also, my clutch line seems to pull and wedge itself between the headlight and the mounting bracket for the windshield.
I have the Baron's risers for my midnight....I would love to tell you how awesome they are, how comfortable, how amazing, but being the dumbass I am, while moving the gas tank back to accomodate the risers, I applied a little too much pressure to one of the back gas tank bolts and snapped the som%%%%%. Of course, it is a custom bolt and had to be ordered from Yamaha, but lesson learned....I hope they are worth the three days the bike will be down....
Sorry to hear about your bolt issue. I didn't push too hard when I moved my tank and I really don't think I would have needed to move it at all, I have plenty of clearing there.
The risers are great though, I can sit comfortably and am not stretching to reach the handle bars.
Hopefully those bolts aren't too expensive (like anything for a motorcycle is cheap!)
The bolt was $6, so I bought two, just to be safe. nd while the bike was down for three days, I had the chance to do some other things to it, like paint the dash and chrome ribs on the tank and install some other things. Put it all back together last night and she looks great. I posted pics in another thread.
Hello and happy new year to all. I have finally gotten my new 2007 roadliner to my home. I have the windshield and engine guard installed with my friend Dan's help and have managed to get about 50 miles of short rides between ice & snow storms here in Seattle. Now I am adjusting my handlebars, I had to back off the riser to raise the bars, also I rotated the control levers and now I want to retorque it all back to the correct specs but cannot find any for it. Does anyone know the correct torque amounts? Thanks in advance. Bob DuBos aka bikerbob1954
I had Thunders on my bike because the Baron's were so expensive. Refined Cycles riser are perfect. They look great and they are a fair price.
ps...I have a set of Thunders for sale...

Label says 57% Mourvèdre and 43% Syrah from paso so it should be right in my wheel house of wines I typically enjoy. I picked the bottle up on Sunday night after the kings OT win and on the pnp I was greeted by some serious tannin stains on the tapering section of the bottle. The wine was red on the rim and had a nice nearly black core. The wine was showing considerable sediment on the first glass which was a little surprising. I wouldn't call it clear since the sediment was kicked up but if left stood up for a few days I'm sure it would be clear.
Here's a few pictures from the opening.
The nose was fairly strong and full of dark fruit. Blackberries, blueberry and some black cherries as well. There is some noticeable alcohol unfortunately. The wine comes across as dry and very tart with tannins present in the background. The tartness may be due to the sediment that was really stirred up in my glass. On first sip the wine really made me pucker and left my mouth watering. The same flavors were present on the tongue as the nose but just not as pronounced. The wine finishes with some alcohol on the back of the tongue and is about medium length. Based on my day 1 impression I felt a day 2 review was necessary.
I left the wine on the counter overnight corked and tried it again tonight. The nose had not calmed down but had changed. It now took on dusty cherries,a little cranberry and oddly enough some licorice. The palate lost some tartness as well and became much more drinkable. The sediment was much more focused in the bottom of the bottle now and this could be the reason for the dramatic change. If I were ordering this I would let it sit a week or two before opening and make sure I stood the bottle up a day before opening. This should keep the sediment where you want it.(on the bottom. ) the price seems solid and it's a pass for me based on day 1 and a buy based on day 2.
Pretty sure I have a vintage of the Hughes Family syrah at home. I'll open it tonight and post some notes.

2007 Hughes Family Syrah:
losthighwayz wrote:Long day at work but gotta perform my duty! I have a 2007 in front of me. PnP. Color: dark, almost black...looks like a big wine! Medium legs, with a strong nose reminiscent of warm blueberry pie? Detect a bit of alcohol on the nose as well. Taste does not match the color and smell...not as full bodied as I expected and finish somewhat short. Tannins are present no doubt. Will let this sit in fridge for 15 min and come back...
Edit: 15 minutes later...nose has noticeably opened up...getting more dark fruit and that meaty Syrah nose I love...not quite bacon but more like minced raw meat....acidity is fresh and has dry tannins that plucker...a bit too tannic for my taste but I think the tannins will soften over a few years...taste is better as well...getting sweet fruit and nutmeg? Definitely a well-made wine that will improve with age...I'm not sure Id pay MSRP but wouldn't be unhappy if I paid $25 for this bottle...add a vertical to boot and this a good deal IMO sorry if I rambled but my 3 and 6 year olds are readying for bed and as you can imagine its a crazy sight in here! Cheers!
2008 Hughes Family Syrah:
ajrod27 wrote:I came home tonight to a bottle of the 2008 Hughes Signature Reserve Savannah Vineyard Syrah waiting patiently just inside my doorstep. I was just about to pop a bottle of a nice chilled dry Muscat to cool off from a warm day in Cali when I noticed that the Hughes offer is up! Darn, back in the fridge with the Muscat. Popped the cork of the 2008 Hughes;
The cork came out with heavy sediment gunk on the end. There was also heavy sediment in the neck of the bottle which initially restricted the flow of the pour. I'd highly recommend decanting this one. (Unless you enjoy chewing your wine)
Extremely dark violet color, borderline inky. (BTW, I'm drinking this out of a Dark and Delicious glass. Very appropriate ) You can only see light/color through 1/16" - 1/8" near the meniscus. Initial aroma is dusty, but I'm not sure if it's my glass or the wine... Muted nose of ripe blackberry compote with fennel seed and some alcohol heat. Earthy, nutty aroma in the background that reminds me of a Brazilian nut. Nice toasted oak nuances as well.
Initial attack on the palate is showing moderate acidity, velvety mouth feel with rich, full-bodied flavors of plum and blackberry. The finish has pepper and a bit of BACON! Not the smokey kind of bacon; more of a pancetta or copa. The pepper hangs on for quite a while, lasting 20+ seconds. There was also some alcohol noticeable on the finish.
30 minutes open:
The nose has gained some power, complexity and cohesiveness. I thought it was pretty cohesive at PnP but it's really melding beautifully now. The alcohol sting is no longer present in the nose but is still there on the palate. The blackberry/plum, Brazilian nut, pancetta with black pepper; it's a gourmet meal in a glass!
The tannins are developing some grip now. They're strong but what I would consider sweet tannin.
In summary:
This is a really big, yet elegant, Syrah. As the wine continues to breath it's just getting better. It has the complexity to be enjoyed a la carte, but if I was going to pair it with food it would be a hearty meat dish or stew. The only flaw I am getting is a bit of heat on the palate, but that might have to do with the temp of the wine and environment I'm enjoying it in. High of the day was 88 degrees F in San Jose; the wine is likely in the low 70's. I'll try chilling it a bit and seeing if that helps.
I'm looking forward to notes for the other vintages to aid in my decision.
Nennow all gone...

Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Today you are in for a treat. I have the lovely Catherine of Chic Geek sharing her perfect day in the 4 W's- who she would be with, what she would be doing, what she would be wearing, and where she would be. In case you aren't aquatinted with Catherine, this girl has some serious style...
I think my perfect day would be spent with her teaching me how to be so adorable in outfit posts! Without further ado, I give you Catherine...
Who are you with?
All my favorite girls, of course! Miraculously our crazy schedules will have aligned to create a mutual free weekend!
What would you be doing?
All the overachievers would probably head out for a morning run which would be followed up with brunch, in our summer house- think fresh fruit, granola, pastries, and pancakes.
Next, lots of girl talk would ensue as we lounge poolside or down on the beach- que the mojitos!
Afterwards a little shopping in town would have to occur!
Afterwards a little shopping in town would have to occur!
What would you be wearing?
I'd pack simple staples for day time- think jorts, tee's, tunics, nautical stripes, and gobs of accessories. At night the weather would cool down a bit and I'd love to rock a long DVF dress similar to the one above (this one) or this incredible skirt with a tee.
Where would you be?
Thanks so much for having me, Sam!
Thanks Catherine! Be sure to check out the Chic Geek here.
In other news, I'm on the Glitter Guide Tumblr! Too fun.

Cats Travel to California for Two-game Road Swing
Dec. 15, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The No. 7/6 Kentucky women's basketball team heads to southern California this weekend in preparation for a two-game road swing. The Wildcats will meet Pepperdine on Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. PST/10 p.m. EST in the Firestone Fieldhouse in Malibu, Calif., followed by a matchup with UC Santa Barbara on Friday, Dec. 21 at 3 p.m. PST/6 p.m. EST in Santa Barbara, Calif., at The Thunderdome.

The games can be heard on the UK IMG Sports Radio Network with Neil Price calling the action. Fans can follow the UK Hoops team on Twitter at @UKHoopCats and use #UKHoops to comment on the game.
The trip gives California natives Brittany Henderson and DeNesha Stallworth the opportunity to play in their home state in front of their friends and family. Henderson, a senior forward, hails from Pasadena, Calif., while Stallworth, a junior transfer from Cal, is a native of Richmond, Calif. Henderson played her prep career at John Muir High School, while Stallworth played at Pinole Valley. Stallworth went on to play two seasons at California before transferring to Kentucky last season.
"Each year we like to give our players an experience and see a part of the country that they don't normally see or sometimes people take trips to different locations during Thanksgiving for tournaments," UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "Our thinking was to give our kids a great experience and also at the same time get Brittany Henderson and DeNesha Stallworth back to California. It's tough on their family and friends to get to watch them. We are real fortunate that most of our players are pretty close to or at least on the east coast where they can get into Lexington pretty easily. Just to get them out there and give them that experience in playing in front of family and friends is important."
The Wildcats (8-1) return to game action after a week off for final exams. Prior to their break, the Cats defeated a tough Middle Tennessee squad 68-46 for their seventh consecutive win. The winning streak ties for 10th nationally.
"Our players have had a really good week for final exams and I know they are relieved that today is the final day and we had a couple of players that finished up and everyone else is done," Mitchell said. "Being able to take some time as a team to get together and spend a good amount of time together I think will be beneficial. We are looking forward to it. We will need to go out and play really well to get two wins and I think that will be important heading into Christmas."
Overall, UK ranks seventh in the nation in scoring margin, outscoring its opponent by +26.2 points per game. UK also ranks third nationally in turnover margin (10.89) as the Wildcats are forcing 27.7 turnovers per game, while committing just 16.8.
Leading the way has been senior and All-America candidate A'dia Mathies (Louisville, Ky.). The 5-foot-9 guard averages a team-high 13.0 points, 2.7 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Dominating the inside game is the dynamic post duo of Stallworth and junior forward Samarie Walker (West Carrollton, Ohio) who average 11.3 and 5.4 points per game, respectively. Walker tops the team in rebounding with 7.9 rpg, while Stallworth, who is the reigning Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, averages 5.4 rpg and a team-high 1.7 blocks per game.
Pepperdine is 3-5 overall after a 70-64 win over Seattle on Friday evening at home. Overall, junior forward Robie Mayberry leads Pepperdine in scoring (11.6) and rebounds (5.8) this season. Senior guard Shay Cooney-Williams follows with 10.8 ppg, while leading the team in assists (28) and 3-pointers (16).
UK is just 1-0 all-time vs. Pepperdine after a 73-64 win over the Waves in 1991. The Wildcats are 2-0 vs. UC Santa Barbara with wins in 2008 (69-58) and 2009 (68-54).

Here we go! Another day went by in the BB House. Don't have the feeds? Have them, but missed the day? Well then read on. Remember though, you could get spoiled in the process, so only click read more if you really wanna know.
Oh and as a reminder, we are currently looking for some excellent Live Feed Updaters! If you have done it before, or are brand new, why not come give it a try? We are offering some REALLY nice perks! What can you lose? You are watching anyway aren't you?
Alright, to see how the day went, click more, but prepare to be spoiled! Also, there is foul language in here, so if you don't like that so much, you may want to not click below.
Today, or late late last night should I say, started out pretty mellow. Late last night, there was really nothing to report. Everyone seemed to either be sleeping, or getting along. A lot of chit chat about this or that, but nothing of importance (unless of course you think Lydia and Kevin wanting to have sex with Jessie important of course.) Blech. Try transcribing that conversation! Gave me nightmares!
ANYWAY… on to today. So the house wakes up, and starts their daily routine as usual, with a more angry Braden than the night before. Yes, he was complaining last night how Lydia, a girl he thought he was friends with, a girl he comforted when she got put up, a girl he let cry on his shoulder, a girl who he talked about hanging out with after… lied, backstabbed and messed up all of their games. (Their being Braden, Jeff and Jordan… you know, the ones she was supposed to be aligned with.)
Well, he was even more upset this morning. He was rumbling for awhile, mentioning to others about Lydia's lying and backstabbing ways… he was a Braden Volcano ready to blow, and blow he did.
Lydia and Kevin were sitting in the shade against a wall in the backyard, Lydia giving a sob story about a previous love she lost, and just how horrible it was… when here comes Braden… Braden puts a towel down next to them, and sits right down. He says "I just wanted to say that the way you sold me out to your guys, it's fine. But I knew way before everything happened that I was going up and you had said something. Everyone knew before, this was coming. So don't let it be such a big surprise when you go up the next week or the next week after, and that you won't make past to the jury round. It's just sad."… And that was it….
Lydia then exploded into "Oh ok cause I nominated for you to go yeah, that was me, that was my grand scheme."
Braden then says it was and maybe you should get that tatooed on your leg that "I got evicted from the Big Brother House because I backstabbed people that had your back"
The whole time, Lydia is interupting with Yeah, yeah whatever yeah 100% right there dude… etc. etc.
Braden saying he has not lied, always stayed true to his word, and will go home happy and blessed. Lydia keeps up with the yeah yeah awesome awesome. He keeps going… thanking them for all the great times and for relating with him so well, and then thanks Kevin for the same. Lydia tells him not to attack Kevin. Braden says he was thanking Kevin, never attacked Kevin. She is basically threatening him, hand movements slicing her throat.. Don't attack Kevin. Do not say shit to Kevin right now.
Braden says what are you talking about. I was being sincere to him, not you. Lydia keeps going on saying he is awesome, great, yeah, she is a bitch, (and worse words that Braden never used) Braden says, so, get another tattoo, you can put Braden on your ass (all the while she continues with yeah, awesome, yeah, awesome)
Then Kevin pipes up… Just so you know, I was the one that suggested you go up. (Which is not true… that was a convo between Nat, Jessie and Lydia without Kev present a couple of nights ago) so Braden says good, then you can get a Braden tattoo on your cock.
Kevin then gets up, and starts attacking Braden, saying he is an asshole, he is so full of shit etc. etc. Braden says he has been nothing but real, and tells Kevin to go stick a banana up his ass. Kevin keeps going with "You're an asshole, you're so full of shit, you fucked everyone you know"… Braden then proceeds to call Kevin a beaner. (Yeah, you heard me right)… Kevin continues… WTF Braden, you don't even know what nationality I am asshole… and Braden says I don't care, I am white and American, wtf are you? Lydia then gets up, screaming her fuck yous and leaves the yard. Kevin calls Braden racist over and over… saying you don't even know anything about me… you never even talked to me… which Braden says isn't true, that they talked about their anniversary and such.
Lydia comes back out screaming that Braden needs to get the F out of her room, that she is going to move his stuff. Braden saying don't touch my stuff. Kevin saying Lydia had NOTHING to do with you going up, they came and asked me… Braden saying really? Then why did Russell say that?
Jeff pipes in, let's not be derogatory here y'all… and Kevin gets mad at Jeff, saying I didn't say anything! Jeff says no, I was talking to Braden, it was wrong what Braden said. He shouldn't have said that. Kevin, still thinking that Jeff is protecting Braden, is basically jumping up and down in the yard saying he didn't say anything, that Braden called him an MF beaner! He tells Braden that he is the running joke of the house… that everyone just laughs at his stupidity… Lydia and Kevin then go in the house, and start telling everyone the stuff Braden said, with Kevin still saying he called me a beaner!
Braden in the BY, saying I was sitting there talking to her, not raising my voice, just having a conversation, and she started yelling at me… Inside, they are going on about the story, telling them the beaner comment, the tattoo comment etc. Switch to… Lydia in the spa room, now yelling at Jordan about it all, yelling that Jordan isn't talking to her anymore. Then Kevin attacks Jeff, saying he is chilling with a bigot, and how that makes him a bigot.
Things begin to mellow, with Braden saying he isn't racist, that he just said it get a rise basically (well that worked) – Jeff then asked Lydia why she went and attacked Jordan… well, here we go again. Lydia starts screaming her fuck you's again, mentions the whole Tuna story (long tuna story short, Jeff, before noms, went and asked him team upstairs if they wanted tuna he made, they declined and said stay, we are talking about who to put up, he said no, just made all this tuna and it will be gone, let's talk later. Lydia blames him for not hanging around instead of eating tuna is the reason she was put up.) So she yells awhile, and runs to the HOH room to be left alone.
Ok really, all that was hard to type. It ended just like it started. All of a sudden. Everyone was pretty much mellow and boring for the rest of the day. Jeff has been asking all day though if it's ok if he does things LOL. Kind of funny… asking if he can go in the pool, cause he doesn't want to find out later that he is an asshole for going in the pool on Monday… stuff like that.
Alas… it's currently 11:07 pm Big Brother time, and all are hanging out and getting along. Back to the norm, Lydia flirting endlessly with Jessie. All others hanging out in the kitchen and BY chatting… Just another day in the Big Brother House.

Anarchists Against The Wall U.S. Tour, San Francisco, 1/19/11: audio
At Station 40 in San Francisco, Abrasha Blum spoke about the Israeli non-violent direct action collective known as Anarchists Against The Wall. He discussed their history and their uncompromising commitment to the Palestinian struggle for freedom from Israeli colonial settlement and occupation. In cities such as East Jerusalem or in West Bank villages like Beit Ommar and Bil'in, Anarchists Against The Wall risk arrest, injury, and persecution from the Israeli governement as they stand in solidarity with Palestinians. The evening opened with a trailer for a new documentary produced by Bay Area filmmakers, "Occupation Has No Future", which will premiere in San Francisco on February 3rd. Abrasha Blum presented four short films: two set to music and featuring slideshows of photographs from the Activestills collective of which he is also a member; the third centered around a humorous protest featuring a 20-foot purple phallus attached as a gun turret atop a cardboard army tank; and the fourth on a singing flash mob at the Tel Aviv opera house protesting a performance. Due to issues with the clarity of projected video images, an interview with Saed, a Palestinian from Ni'lin, was not played as it was at a previous AATW presentation in Berkeley. Instead, Abrasha Blum explained his relationship with Saed, as well as the popular committees in the West Bank, and what it means for Palestinians, Israelis, and internationals to come together in a joint struggle for Palestinian liberation. While the U.S. tour is a fundraiser to cover AATW legal expenses, Abrasha Blum emphasizes that the struggle is not about anarchists; it's a Palestinian struggle for justice and freedom.

As many users have the ability to insert from the WSYIWYG Editor any HTML tag, or sometimes custom shortcodes is causing troubles on handling those Tags within the container where we display "the_content()" .
So which is the best way to handle any tag within

<?php the_content()?>
and make it maybe flexible and keep it compact at any responsive media query.
Hope that was clear enough.
PS : Are you forced to handle each tag within the editor, or you can explain the customer that extra tags need extra care and we could not handle that all by our self ?
In case someone else had the same problem or doubts we used a plugin called Demo Data Creator- http://www.stillbreathing.co.uk/wordpress/demo-data-creator
It fills your Wordpress with dummy data and if you support all those tags it outputs than i think your good to go.
Are you talking perhaps about the classes that WordPress generates? Using the Theme Check plugin, you'll make sure to cover all of them in your CSS.
Anything else coming from your theme, you obviously have CSS styles for them, because you created them. All other custom user IDs/classes are the user's problem, you can't possibly know whether or not I'll be pasting in something like this in the editor:

Old Heatilator electrode?
Hello all,
I am trying to get an old Heatilater fireplace (gc720e) back into shape. The ignition electrode has a wire with one end sealed within the ceramic housing, so to replace the wire, which has seen better days, I need to replace the whole electrode assembly. (Heatilater part 17003) But for the life of me I cannot find the same or a similar assembly. Can anyone point me to a replacement. Will another style of electrode work? I am including a picture below. Thanks for any help you can provide!
This seems to be the latest manual for your unit.
I don't see that part number listed, it's possibly been replaced with something newer since the original purchase you made?
You may have some luck locating a dealer here.
Thanks so much! All of the numbers here are different from the manual I was working from, which is actually one that Heatilator emailed me last year when I was working on a different problem. There do not appear to be any Heatilator dealers anywhere near me, but at least with a current item number I have someplace to start. Thanks again!
Glad to help. Hope that gets you sorted. If there are no dealers nearby, you may just have to call or email the closest one and deal with the shipping on the new part or they may be able to direct you to a closer affiliate that carries parts.

Healthy Aging Quick Tips (Page 7)
6. Iron Out Changes In Recommended Nutrient Intakes
After menopause, women need only 8 mg of iron each day (same as what men need)—that's less than half of the recommended intake of the mineral for women of child-bearing age. Too much iron can be harmful, particularly for people who have hemochromatosis, a genetic condition that causes a buildup of iron in the body's organs. You don't have to scale back on healthy iron-rich foods like lean meats, beans and leafy greens, but if you're taking a multivitamin that includes iron, check to see that it doesn't exceed your recommended 8 mg.

text: I'm not going to bore or excite anyone witha bunch of stats and who lead the league in what. I am still a firm believer in how it doesnt matter if u get 12 hits and lose 1-0 in the bottom of the 9th. The stats on the screen never show how many runners you left on base, or caught at home plate, or couldnt score from second base on a base hit. The proof is on the field. I have MLB.tv and I may have watched 150 games this year. And I go by is what i saw this. Which is this: HITTING: When The tigers were BEHIND, they were SECOND in baseball with a .279 batting average HOWEVER they were EIGHTEENTH in runs scored. Clutch hitting killed this team all year. That screams a team that has trouble creating offense. Hopefully, we can do something next year to makethis offense more rugged and aggressive ,instead of having a manager who's rule is 'dont anything to take the bat out of his hands!" BATTERS: CATCHERS: AVILA, PENA, HOLLODAY......I want Avila out of here. Unless he finds a yoga or spa expert to revive his body, his onfield demeanor and low producing bat can't happen at his position. he just plays and swings like he it's killing him. It'll be a miracle if he ever gets back to his all-star form. Pena is one solid backup and is in my top 10 team MVP votes. Holloday has potential to be a good backup but I havent seen enough of him. GRADE: C- 1ST BASE: FIELDER........The most overated statistical season by any player in the league,. For real baseball people who actually watch the games, It was ridiculous. 624 official at bats and ONLY 25 homers! Two many strikeouts and groundouts with RISP. 106 RBI in his case only looks good on a baseball card. If he hit last year's .314, he would have had 150 RBI. I was way wrong picking him as AL MVP...he may have been the AL LVP. GRADE: C 2ND BASE: INFANTE, Perez, Santiago.....He has become a Placido Polanco type player, but without the fire. The games he missed this year were as important as the ones Peralta missed. He was underused as a number 7 or 8 hitter, especially when Jackson slumped. GRADE: B 3RD BASE: CABRERA...The best hitter Ive ever seen. Clearly the AL MVP. He should been rested and will be more next season. He was not fresh for the playoffs. I think next year will be the greatest single season in our lifetime. GRADE: A Plus SHORTSTOP: PERALTA, IGLESIAS....PEDS or not, peralta was very good when he played. His defense was solid when he could get to the ball. Then came the suspension. So we got Iglesias, who was as smooth as Omar visquel. i'd like to see both of them play next year. GRADE: A OUTFIELD:: HUNTER, JACKSON , DIRKS.....Take out Hunter and this group underachieved everywhere. Jackson got hurt and all of his stats dipped. Dirks is a not ready for prime time player. Tuiasosopo was not existent after the Allstar game, Kelly was a good 25th man, no one else mattered. Castellanos looks like another Brennan Boesch. GRADE: C PITCHING: STARTERS: The best in baseball. NNuff said GRADE: A plus RELIEVERS: The worst in baseball sans Drew Smyly and Benoit. Not one of the other guys you can you trusted when they entered the game. Hopefully, Rondon gets in shape and takes his arm seriously. Other than that, a big trade looms large. GRADE: Smyly =A Benoit = B Others =D MANAGEMENT: DOMBROWSKI AND LEYLAND have got to get something going for a make it or break it 2014. They have to do what's obvious to most of us: - GET A NO NONSENSE STOP THE BLEEDING CLOSER. If its Papelbon, so be it. He only threw 61 innings this year cuz the Phillies were so bad. That gives you Benoit, Rondon and Pap as your 7/8/9 inning gang. - GET A LEFT FIELDER WITH AGGRESSION....I said all year that are players sans Hunter are too clean. we need a Gomes or Victorino type dirt bag who goes home on a wild pitch and takes out second baseman on DP's. - MAKE A NO JOKE TRADE TO SHAKE UP THE TEAM....Meaning attitudes like Fielder (eh, I cant dwell on it) won't be tolerated. This team IS kind of full of themselves (Verlander and Cabrera) and I hope this embarassing end of season woke them up. - FIRE LEYLAND OR HIS STAFF.....either your staff goes or you go should be the montra. The AAA team finished in last place meaning losing attitudes come from losing coaches. I do like pitching coach Jones but I'd like to see him managing the Mud hens so we can have pitchers come up READY for prime time. But mcClendon, Lamont and Brookens have to go. My new choice for Tigers manager? Dont be suprised if the former mighty mite second baseman, Rafe Belliard could light this team's fire. Anyway, The season wasnt a failure but not a success. The pace has to be set early in 2014. A line in the sand has to be drawn. Certain players HAVE to go: COKE, VERAS, TUIASOSOPO, DIRKS,AVILA (maybe) and KELLY witha special mention of FIELDER> Only because he is young enough to merit a trade (for ,if he is healthy, Texiara?) GRADE: B-

what can I do with code P1860
What do I need to do to my Trans? It is giving me code P1860 could this be the vacuum modular? or not
nope mostly ignition switch im guessin u have a s10 or blazer
2003 S10 code P1860 - torque converter clutch PWM solenoid circuit
1997 chvey venture
I have 97 Venture and I am have trouble code P1860 what can cause this code?
I merged your two threads into one here.
What is the mileage on this trans?
There are several areas of the trans that can cause a code like this.
Valve body PWM circuit wear is common, Wear on the stator bushings and the converter lock up clutch material may be deteriorated causing excessive slippage the PCM is reading
I just had the trans rebuilt and it has 25,000 on the rebuilt rebuild
1860 is ignition feed circit most common ign switch failure 1870 is a internal trans issue
here is a link to describe the code http://www.ls2.com/boggs/a4/DTC%20P1860%203.8.htm
thank you that is exactly what I was looking for. :boxing: :boxing: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
I'm having the exact same issue with my 97 Camaro convertible (V6). I bought the TCC solenoid at Napa for about $8. Doesn't look to hard to fix. We'll see if that takes care of it.
thats cool let me know the only problem with mine is that it is inside the trany
Mine is, too. I hear it's pretty easy to do, though. Drop the pan, pull one of the other solenoids to get to the TCC solenoid, disconnect the wiring to the TCC solenoid, replace it, then reverse this procedure. This isn't the exact procedure, but it gives you an idea.
You also have to check the wiring going to the TCC solenoid as well as I guess this can sometimes be the cause of the issue. Along with this, you can actually buy the solenoid one of two ways: with or without the wiring harness. Without was about $8, with was about $40. I guess the harness is pretty easy to replace as well.
Since you'd be dropping the tranny pan to do this, might as well buy some fluid and a filter kit and replace those while you're at it.
mine are on the end of the trany and I need to drop the K fram to do this so
I am also going to put new cluch plates in at the same time.
I apologise , the code 1870 was in my mind since I see that code so often this year. p1860 is a more wide capture code of solenoid problems. Often the PCS is looked at for p1860, but the TCC solenoid can be at fault too, some trouble shooting will point to the pressure manifold.
Depending on mileage of the transmission, you may want to replace the soleniods and pressure manifold on the v-body.
Has the vehicle been turing on the warning lite for over heated transmission?
