Breitbart on ACORN, Sherrod, and 'Gotcha' Journalism
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on the Brian Lehrer Show, Andrew Breitbart, conservative media critic and author of Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!, discussed his book and his take on the big news of the day.
The Clarence Thomas epiphany
It may come as a surprise that Andrew Breitbart grew up a self-described secular liberal before going on to build a mini-media empire specializing in conservative talking points, defenses of the Tea Party, and criticisms of mainstream journalism. It may also come as a surprise that Breitbart's transformational epiphany came during the Clarence Thomas hearings, in which the Supreme Court Justice was investigated for sexual harassment.
I went into the Clarence Thomas hearings thinking, okay, let's take down this serial sexual harasser, and by end of the event I thought, where's the accusation? What's the worst thing they're even claiming he did? When it was the pubic hair on the Coke can thing, I wanted to throw my shoe at the television set. I didn't understand how the Ted Kennedy could sit in judgment of this man given his history with women.
It was a perceived moral hypocrisy—not government policy, nor political ideology—stemming from partisanship that began the change in Breitbart. And then, there was the media coverage, which seemed to follow politicians' lead.
Everybody was so serious at ABC, CBS, NBC, like this is most serious accusation in the world. Even if it were true, it seemed like a nothing sandwich. When year later my suspicions confirmed that this was a show trial, because he happened to have the sin of being conservative and black, and in all likelihood would vote against Roe v. Wade, that it was a setup. Less than year later, Bill Clinton of sexual harassment fame was set up as the standard bearer of the same Democratic Party that said, 'I believe Anita,' every bumper sticker in my neighborhood. I thought, there's something wrong here; why can Clarence Thomas be pilloried while Bill Clinton can be protected on the same grounds of sexual harassment? It acted as an epiphany for me that started me down a path to challenge the mainstream media narrative.
Defending the ACORN Tapes
Flash forward about 20 years, and Breitbart commands a fleet of conservative-minded alternative media websites. BigGovernment.com, BigJournalism.com, Breitbart.tv—it's these websites that brought film-making activist James O'Keefe to the attention of the country, and the frustration of the Left.
In 2009, Breitbart helped O'Keefe release a series of hidden camera tapes documenting O'Keefe's meetings with the community organizing group ACORN. In the tapes, O'Keefe and his partner Hannah Giles pose as a pimp and prostitute receiving advice from ACORN employees on how to qualify for government housing funds, lie about their profession for tax purposes, and basically launder money.
Needless to say, the liberal blow-back was tremendous. Outlet after outlet, big and small alike, introduced arguments that the tapes had been improperly edited, that O'Keefe wasn't actually dressed like a pimp in the meetings (although it's made to seem that way), and more. Breitbart said there was no better example of the mainstream media machine at work.
Had ACORN not been the target, and it was the NRA or the Catholic Church, I guarantee Katie Couric would have owned the story, that Rolling Stone would have had Hannah and James on the front, and HBO would have given them a series to keep doing this. But I knew that since it represented the vaunted community organizing group that was associated with Obama and with 'helping the poor'—but not really looking at how great society is, hooking up people to government dependency—I knew this so went against the narrative that the mainstream media provides on groups like that, and that media wouldn't touch it.
Were they edited—and does it matter?
Breitbart said that the whole argument over context and editing distracts from what we do see in the tapes: an advocacy and action group with major political ties advising people how to profit from illegal activities. What's been edited out in no way excuses what was left in.
I guarantee you this: they had—Media Matters, ACORN, the mainstream media—everyone had the full context and no way to explain away the behavior. They had to try and deflect on us that James created a series of videos that included music, an intro sequence where he is dressed as extravagant looking pimp, but what you'll see in those selectively edited ones, they don't distort the reality of what happened. The straw man argument of him being dressed [a certain way] is a pointless one. What does it matter if in every ACORN office they were helping a person who was a Dockers-wearing pimp versus an extravagant one?
Was the Sherrod Story a Sham?
The other major Breitbart video controversy in recent memory involves Shirley Sherrod, who was forced to resign from her position as Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Her resignation came after Breitbart circulated an excerpted video of Sherrod at an NAACP event telling the story of choosing not to do her best to help a white farmer save his farm. In the end, Sherrod does provide the man assistance, despite his rude behavior toward her—but the way Breitbart edited and presented the tape was reported by some to as an attempt to label Sherrod a racist.
That caused a huge flare-up. Government officials pressured Sherrod to resign and the NAACP even denounced her remarks. But then it was asked: had Breitbart selectively edited the tape to take Sherrod's comments out of context, and was she then being blamed for something she didn't exactly say?
I had a 1400-word piece that had these words: 'eventually her basic humanity informs her to help the white farmer.' The two-plus minute video clip that was put on my website, along with another video that nobody paid attention to, has in it her redemptive arc where she says, 'But then I realized it's not about black versus white, it's about rich versus poor.' That was in essence her argument that she realized from the story.
From whence the confusion, then? Breitbart may have emphasized the portion of her speech where she talks about not helping the white farmer, but according to him, his intention wasn't to draw attention to Sherrod—it was to the NAACP and their reaction to her words.
My argument was against the NAACP framing the Tea Party as racist by saying members of its audience were racist. I said, those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and I have video of your group laughing at a lady talking about how she stuck it to a white farmer. I stand by that point today, because the NAACP apologized for the behavior of the audience the day that it happened.
Breitbart argues that he wasn't going after Sherrod, and wasn't misrepresenting her remarks by focusing on that particular moment. Rather, the media assumed that Sherrod was his target, when it was really the organization hosting her.
The week before, Ben Jealous of the NAACP had been on TV attacking the Tea Party as racist. I went on a radio show the Thursday before the Monday we put those videos out there, and I said, 'Ben Jealous, you're trying to divide this country on a racial schism. The country can ill afford for you to be fomenting this type of racial animus during a summer in which everybody is suffering.' Sherrod on day one said she blamed the NAACP for this because they got in a fight with the Tea Party.
To mock or inform?
Whatever your feelings about Breitbart's brand, the style of journalism he encourages is undeniably interesting, subversive and effective. Look no further than the de-funding of ACORN or the forced resignation of Sherrod for evidence.
But is it really journalism? Can it be trusted? And is it valuable? Brian Lehrer asked Breitbart if the sort of guerrilla "gotcha" reportage practiced by James O'Keefe does more to inform the public, or make a mockery of existing institutions.
I think it does both, but I think the question seems to be asked when Hanna and James do it...I grew up with Abbie Hoffman, Hunter Thompson, the Merry Pranksters, and now I watch as Dateline dresses up in Muslim garb and go to Nascar rallies to try and get middle Americans to say terrible things. They failed at it. As long as the mainstream media tells me that Hunter Thompson deserves his own wing of the J-school, and that it's okay when Dateline does it and 60 Minutes does it, I'm not going to be here to criticize it when James O'Keefe does it or the liberal from the Buffalo Beast does it with Scott Walker.

Creating Modern Kids' Rooms – How Trendy Peas Was Born
It all started with a phone call. It was a Friday afternoon, my last day of maternity leave. I remember feeling sad. The thought of dropping off 6-week-old baby Marcus and 22-month-old Bela at daycare was hard to picture. As a designer, I was ready and eager for some new work challenges, but as a mom, I had mixed feelings. Little did I know that all those feelings were about to get crushed by one short phone call.
Back in 2008, I had a full-time job as a graphic designer in a cool ad agency in Norfolk, VA. Working alongside other designers and talented art directors, I had daily doses of design inspiration. Even though the job offered many opportunities and fuel for my creative brain, sometimes my heart just wasn't there. So, that Friday afternoon when my boss called to alert me that the agency had made some cuts, I felt like I was at a tea cup ride in an amusement park. My head was spinning, but I was not amused at all. I wasn't sure what to feel, what to say, and what to do. I had just lost my job. How was that possible?
I always had a passion for interior design, making things pretty, and creating or crafting anything. So, after I let the emotions of disappointment fade away, I decided that it was the time to face the entrepreneur field. It was time to be adventurous and let the fear sink in. My idea for my business was to combine my graphic designer skills with my passion for interior design. So in February of 2009 I founded Trendy Peas, an online store for kids home décor. My sister Raquel Kohler joined me in this new business venture and soon we opened our first Etsy store. It is a joy to see parents using our modern-looking products in their homes. All of Trendy Peas' products are made-to-order here in the USA and we are currently shipping items across the country and overseas.

Not very useful
By Cheryl
from Canada
I agree with the previous reviewer. I seldom shop here but was given a gift card. I used it to purchase a coat and wanted to exchange it for a smaller size. They said because there were only a few left, they could not secure the item I wanted by doing an exchange. I would have to purchase a new coat and return the one I have. Then they would issue me another gift card. They didn't seem to have a way to apply the gift card towards the new purchase and wouldn't refund the $100.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I inherited a H&R 22 9shot revolver in 1970. (I started OC'ing it in 1977.)
The 1st hg I ever "purchased" was a "Rossi" 38sp in 1980. (I still have it today.)
Under my best friend's pool table W/ my best friend's sist.... Oh, wait we're talking about guns. never mind
My first....Glock 22. Purchased in 1994 when 2 college students were murdered in the complex where I was living. I bought it from Ace Hardware in Georgia...
First handgun I ever owned and was purchased by me in 1981, is the one pictured in my avatar.
A Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 9mm.

First purchased handgun: Makarov, Fall 2005
First purchased long gun: Mosin Nagant 91/30, Summer 2007
The Makarov purchase was interesting. I had just moved back to Virginia after going to college in Canada. I walked into a shop that specialized in surplus weapons and ammo. I liked the small size, slim profile, and storied reliability of the Makarov, so when I saw one for $150, I couldn't pass it up. I asked to see it, I inspected it for any apparent signs of abuse or damage and found none, so I purchased it. Two forms, and a ten-minute call to the State Police later, and that was it. The woman behind the counter simply placed it and the spare mag on the counter and said, "Thank you! Have a nice day!"
Having just left the anti-gun, socialist paradise of Canada, it was a bit of a shock to me. I honestly didn't know what to do. Of course, I knew Virginia was an open carry state, so I just tucked it in my pants and walked out the door.
I got my Smith and Wesson M&P .40 in February of this year less then a month after my 21st birthday.
My first was a Ruger P-95 that I bought in 2004.
"Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice; ammo is cheap, life is expensive."
My first was a Smith & Wesson M&P .40c. It's my carry piece. I bought it last year on my 21st birthday. I had already shot it more than once, so on my birthday I left work, went to the gun store and said "I want that one."
Second best birthday ever.

My first handgun was a Hi-Point .40 and I bought it the day after I turned 21. I ended up selling it after the first and last range trip. I didn't have much money and really wanted to buy my first handgun LOL!

Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum, Bicentennial Edition. Christmas 1976, I was 13.
I bought a Springfield XD Sub-Compact .40 in OD green when I was 21 (almost 3 years ago), the sights were badly off from the factory so I shipped the slide off to get some TFO's put in.
I could never get that pistol to function perfectly. I cringe at buying anything Springfield again.
My 1st hand gun is a Smith and Wesson Sigma 9mm.
My father bought it for me on my 21th birthday
Sig Sauer: P938 9mm Smith and Wesson: Sigma SW9VE 9mm
S&W Model 36, bought it when I went on the job back in 1973, for off duty, plain clothes work.
My first Handgun i owned was My Taurus PT92C and i still have it
Ruger LCR .357
Remington model 700 30-06
Glock 19 gen 3 TALO
Charles Daly bi tone .45
Yugo SKS
Windham Weaponry MPC
I bought my first handgun at a Gun & Knife show in Pensacola FL in 1984 while stationed at Corry Field. It was a Colt Trooper MK III blued in .357 Mag.
I carried that gun around the world until I traded it in on a Baby Eagle in 1998 (bad mistake)! Went back the very next day to buy it back and it was already sold.
Found another one (stainless) in 2003 and bought it. This one is staying with me...

For the Tech Sector, Bikes are the New Cars
On the Google campus in Mountain View, Calif. there's a strange kind of meeting space: a seven person bicycle.
"Imagine one person facing forward and then the other six people around a circle," explains Google's Brendon Harrington. "And the way the bike is manufactured and constructed everyone can actually peddle each other all contributing to propel the bike forward. But since they're facing each other, they can chat with each other, they can share ideas, they can have a team meeting if they'd like."
Pandora, in Oakland, organizes employee bike rides. Foursquare encourages employees to bike to meetings. Etsy's got an in-house bike mechanic.
That's pretty much the way it is in the tech sector these days: companies are in a race to outdo each other on bike-friendliness.
"Biking has become the mode of choice for the educated high-tech worker," says Mitchell Moss, director of the Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management at NYU. "The modern office today is not really jsut a work place. It's a play place. If you go to Mozilla they have pool tables."
At Foursquare's new offices in SoHo, New York (conveniently located on a major East-West bike lane) -- there's a ping pong table and a dart board.
Biking is so-ingrained in the paradigm, that when I asked Foursquare CEO Dennis Crowley whether he thought his brand new bike-rack would help attract talent, he didn't understand the question. "It was not an option to be in a building where people would have to leave their bikes outside," Crowley told me.
For him, and other tech CEO's, NOT having a place to store bikes in the office would be like building a suburban campus without a parking lot.
"We talk about Foursquare as being -- as creating software that helps people change the way they experience or use cities. I think bikes do the same thing."
For an audio version of this story, click here.
Here's Google's video on green transportation, with a cameo of the conference bike:

Turning your automobile into a motel room is useful when motel rooms are expensive or far away. Ideal parking places include motel parking lots (no charge for the parking lot!), grocery stores, and, especially, Wal-Marts.
Pro Tip 1: Carry a sheet or blanket that is the same color as your car's upolstery, so that you can be camoflagued as you slumber.
Pro Tip 2: When Wal-Mart is open, purchase a fold-up sun shade (or several) to use as privacy curtains inside your car, to build a reflective wall and keep out prying eyes.
Wal-Marts are also ideal for meeting, parking, and leaving a car for a few days. This free parking can be handy when you are meeting friends from distant towns and carpooling the rest of your trip together.
Next time you pass a Wal-Mart parking lot, you might be surprised to know that out of hundreds of cars, only 3 people are actually shopping at Wal-Mart.
The rest are just savvy travelers who park their cars there.

Mumbai: we have some interesting things to report to you. It seems that the beautiful Bollywood super star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not on the list of the inaugural ceremony of World Kannada Meet. The guest list was released just recently by the chief minister B S Yeddyurappa and we could not help to notice that the actress was missing.
We have to say that the ceremony will definitely miss out on some important glitter from the absence of Ash. On official statement from the organizers explained their decision "We have decided not to include the Bollywood star in the opening ceremony as it is likely to give undue importance to one individual than the event."
Some other names on the list include the following Anil Kumble, Syed Kirmani, G R Vishwanth, J Srinath, Aswini Nachappa and Aswini Shetty. This is not all as B Sarojadevi, Ambarish, Jayanthi and Bharti Vishnuvardhan have also been included. We have to wonder if there is another reason for the exclusion of Ash Rai from the guest list.

Just to bump this great thread one more time, I'd like to add my two cents and how I hope to accomplish avoiding boost creep. I'll also explain why I'm going this route.
I plan to keep the stock CBE and add a catless Cobb DP. I believe this will prevent boost creep by creating plenty of back pressure, but still set me up fine for Stage 2 due to the belmouth DP.
The reason I'm going this route is two fold. First, cost. Second, stealthiness. I realize people that live in states with emissions testing this is probably not a great thing to do, but for me it should be fine. Cost (all costs included shipping):
For Stage 2:
New Cobb AP: $627
Used Cobb DP: $350
Stock CBE: $FREE
That gets me to Stage 2 for under $1,000
For Stage 2.5
Used STi TMIC: $150
Plumbing: ~$100
Used VF30: $400
I'll be at Stage 2.5 for a touch over $1,600. Pretty amazing when you think about it. I'll keep you guys posted on progress and boost creep issues. I plan on doing this one Stage at a time and leaving it there for at least a month.

MP may face allowance bill
State Editor
Page Tools
Andrew Olexander
Picture:Craig Abraham
Liberal MP Andrew Olexander, who last weekend ploughed into a row of parked cars while drink-driving, could be forced to repay thousands of dollars if a parliamentary investigation finds he was ineligible for overnight travel allowances he received.
As an inquiry into allowances paid to upper house MPs began amid concerns over payments made to Mr Olexander, Opposition Leader Robert Doyle revealed he had considered asking the Liberal Party to dump Mr Olexander after his drunken weekend road crash.
Mr Doyle said Mr Olexander should repay the allowance if the inquiry finds he was ineligible for it, even if it was a mistake.
Any repayments would come on top of an estimated $100,000 bill the MP already faces for damage to his car and three others in last Sunday's crash. Mr Olexander has admitted he was significantly over .05 at the time.
"The rules have to be abided by... it's as simple as that," Mr Doyle said.
The Opposition, however, has pointed the finger at Parliament over the overnight travel allowance payments to Mr Olexander.
"The decision about entitlement is not with the member, it is with the Parliament," Mr Doyle said.
The Age revealed yesterday that Mr Olexander's Ringwood East unit, which he says is his "main residence", appears to be too close to the Melbourne GPO to entitle him to the allowance when he stays in the city overnight. Regulations state that for MPs to get the allowance their main residences must be outside a 28-kilometre radius from the GPO.
Expert measurements done for The Age using the latest technology available show that the closest major intersection to Mr Olexander's Ringwood East unit is about 25 kilometres from the GPO in a straight line. The intersection is further away from the GPO than the unit.
The latest Melbourne street map also suggests Mr Olexander's unit is too close to the GPO to be eligible. It says the Ringwood East railway station, which is near the unit, is 26.5 kilometres from Flinders Street station.
The Liberals have confirmed that Mr Olexander regularly claims the allowance when he stays at his Docklands apartment after a sitting day.
Mr Doyle predicted that "no irregularities" would be uncovered regarding allowances paid to Liberal MPs. Asked if any Liberals had anything to fear from the investigation, Mr Doyle said: "They'd better not have."
Mr Olexander discussed his allowance claims with Mr Doyle early this week.
"I specifically asked Andrew Olexander about overnight allowances," Mr Doyle said yesterday. "He specifically assured me that he was claiming appropriately, that his principal place of residence was in East Ringwood, and he only claimed when he was at the Docklands during when Parliament is sitting."
Meanwhile, Mr Olexander's old portfolio responsibilities have been given to other MPs. Andrea Coote is the Opposition's new arts spokeswoman, Nick Kotsiras youth affairs spokesman and Wendy Lovell consumer affairs spokeswoman.

Filed under Carpet Prices Per Square Foot by .
So you're wanting to carpet your house or office and wondering what you should expect to pay on carpet price per square foot? Having gone through this process numerous times, we'll discuss some things to expect and what to look for when pricing out carpet by the square foot.
When you go into a carpet store or search online for carpet, it's really nice to know where to start based on how the carpet is priced per square foot. Or if you're asking, "is carpet priced by the square yard or the square foot?" Some places price by the square yard, but we'll show you how to calculate for either.
Here's a great way to go about purchasing carpet. First, establish your budget. Let's say your budget is $1,800 and (keeping that in mind as you're thinking carpet prices per sq ft). The next thing you need to do is get an accurate measurement of how much carpet you're going to need. The best way is to create a rudimentary diagram of the area to be carpeted, including closets, inlets, etc. You can either come up with the measurements yourself, or have someone come out to perform an estimate and obtain the amount of carpet needed per square foot that way. There's some things to consider when purchasing carpet. One is the way carpet is manufactured and that the linear process. The pile, which we discussed in finding great carpet prices , leans in one direction, the way it was manufactured. If you've ever seen carpet where the seam is visible or the carpet appears to be two different colors, that may be because the lean of the carpet was installed in the opposite direction at the seem or adjacent room. Light will reflect off the carpet in a different fashion based on the direction of the lean.
Most carpet comes in 12′, 13'6″, and 15′ widths (when looking at carpet per square foot). Most residential carpets you'll find come in 12′. When measuring your room for square footage, you'll want to take into consideration for the widths past the carpet width. For instance, a 10′ x 10′ room (take 10×10) equals 100 sq feet. But you can't just purchase 100 sq feet of carpet if it is 12′ wide. That won't be enough. 100 Square Feet of carpet from a 12′ roll will not be enough, it will be too short and you would have to piece end the end with the excess which is NOT the way to do it. See my diagram below and it will make sense:
Once you calculate the area, you obviously have to convert it to square feet and in some cases square yards. To do this, simply take the width x length. So if your room is 13 x 8, you're square footage is 104 Sq. Feet. To calculate square yards, simply divide your square footage by 9. 104/9 = 11.555 or 11.6 square yards.
Now, armed with amount of carpet you need, you're ready to go shopping; and it is possible find online carpet prices per square foot. Moreover, you'll now be able to calculate what the carpet will cost you to stay within your budget of $1,800 we established earlier. But in order to really get an idea, you'll have to calculate in carpet installation prices and padding. A good rule or general amount to add to the price per square foot is $1 for installation and padding. In order to get your best estimate possible, you reall need to get an average, or find the lowest price available in your area for installation and padding. Then add this to your base carpet price to begin with.

AMES, Iowa -- Most students have arrived on campus, unpacked their belongings, shopped for books and supplies, and attended their first classes for the fall semester. Soon payments will be due on university bills. Mary Beth Kaufman, a family finance program specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, reminds students and parents paying college expenses to keep receipts and be aware of tax benefits that can help offset college costs.
"The Internal Revenue Service identifies these tax benefits that may apply to you, your spouse or a dependent for whom you claim an exemption on your tax return," Kaufman said.
The American Opportunity Credit, originally created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, has been extended for an additional two years – 2011 and 2012. The credit can be up to $2,500 per eligible student and is available for the first four years of post secondary education.
"Forty percent of this credit is refundable, which means that you may be able to receive up to $1,000, even if you owe no taxes," Kaufman said. Qualified expenses include tuition and fees, course related books, supplies and equipment. The full credit is generally available to eligible taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is below $80,000 ($160,000 for married couples filing a joint return).
"In 2011, you may be able to claim a Lifetime Learning Credit of up to $2,000 for qualified education expenses paid for a student enrolled in eligible educational institutions," Kaufman said. There is no limit on the number of years someone can claim the Lifetime Learning Credit for an eligible student, but to claim the credit, the tax filer's modified adjusted gross income must be below $60,000 ($120,000 if married filing jointly).
The Tuition and Fees Deduction can reduce the amount of income subject to tax by up to $4,000 for 2011 even for those who do not itemize deductions, Kaufman continued. "Generally, you can claim the tuition and fees deduction for qualified higher education expenses for an eligible student if your modified adjusted gross income is below $80,000, or below $160,000 if married filing jointly."
Generally, personal interest paid, other than certain mortgage interest, is not deductible. However, someone whose modified adjusted gross income is less than $75,000 ($150,000 if filing a joint return) may be able to deduct interest paid on a student loan used for higher education during the year. This can reduce the amount of income subject to tax by up to $2,500, even for someone who doesn't itemize deductions.
"Remember that for each student, you can choose to claim only one of the credits in a single tax year. However, if you pay college expenses for two or more students in the same year, you can choose to take credits on a per-student, per-year basis. For example, you can claim the American Opportunity Credit for your sophomore daughter and the Lifetime Learning Credit for your senior son," Kaufman explained.
"You cannot claim the tuition and fees deduction for the same student in the same year that you claim the American Opportunity Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit. You must choose to either take the credit or the deduction and should consider which offers you a greater benefit," Kaufman said.
For more information, visit the Tax Benefits for Education Information Center at www.irs.gov or check out Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education, which can be downloaded at www.irs.gov or ordered by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).
"As tax season approaches, watch for free tax services offered by a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program in your area," Kaufman added.

This snowflake ornament is a beautiful decoration for any Christmas tree.
This craft is easy enough for children to do, and makes a great school Christmas craft. The clear ball is filled with imitation snow and then the outside is decorated with snowflake sequins.
Clear ball ornaments now come in plastic, so they are much less delicate. The surface still acts like glass so you can paint them, glue on them, etc. They can be found in craft stores and in the dollar stores around the holidays. These can be decorated in many different ways.

Fuse location for 10A TCU pin# 17 & 18
Does any one know where to locate 5A and 10A fuses, which are used for 12V+ for TCU unit? These are pins #17 and pin #18 on TCU connector.
Here is what I am trying to do. I have TCU and ULF and I am trying to replace the two units with Combox. Well, this morning I measured voltage going to my Combox (after the PnP cable), and I am missing +12v on pin #1. Pin #1 is fine.
I have a feeling that the 10A fuse, which is for pin# 17 is blown.
Any suggestions or fuse diagram, please. Is it located in front or back of the car?
Thank you.:dunno:
I have same problem did you fix i, and what is fuse number?
If you are using a combox telematics, the power pinout is different. Combox media has the same pinouts as TCU
But I still don't know which fuse is used for tcu I couldn't find it

Charles Hamilton in a Wheelchair After Mental Hospital Stint
Fresh off his stint in a mental hospital, rapper Charles Hamilton reveled that he is now confined to a wheelchair.
"The reason I'm in a wheelchair is because I have sharp pains since I was in the hospital and a lil bit before," he told XXL Magazine. "I have sharp pains when I'm walking and literally I want to collapse but I can't I have to continue to walk. So my right leg has been acting kinda funny. I still have a lil' mobility, I can still stand up in the booth … but I'd rather the mobility of my legs be jeopardized than my musicality be jeopardized at any given point of time." Hamilton then dove into a 27-minute freestyle which you can view after the jump.
The youngter, who was once surrounded with plentiful music buzz fell from grace before releasing his debut album. Hamilton was dropped from his label, Interscope Records, and has been exhibiting erratic behavior ever since. In July, Hamilton checked himself into New York Presbyterian Mental Hospital before being transferred to Long Beach Medical Center in California. He likened the experience to being in the music industry. "My stay here is like identical to my stay in the industry, as far as being the new guy in here having to deal with politics and people trying to control you."
The growing list of odd behavioral moves from Hamilton include writing an open thank you letter to Eminem and claiming to be the founding member of the group Slaughterhouse, of which he was never publicly a member. Only time will tell whether or not Hamilton's career is salvageable, but he clearly has more personal issues to tend to.

America's Test Kitchen's Prime Rib
Why This Recipe Works: Most of us cook prime rib only once a year, if that, and don't want to risk experimenting with the cooking method—especially when the results are no better than mediocre. We thought that a special-occasion roast deserved better and wanted to find the best way to get the juicy, tender, rosy meat that prime rib should have.
The principal question for roasting prime rib was oven temperature, and our research turned up a wide range of recommendations. Most delivered meat that was well-done on the outside but increasingly rare toward the center—not too bad, but not exactly great. Surprisingly, the roast we cooked at a temperature of only 250 degrees was rosy from the center all the way out. Additionally, it retained more juice than a roast cooked at a higher temperature, and the internal temperature rose less during resting, so we had more control over the final degree of doneness. Searing before roasting gave us a crusty brown exterior. For seasoning, prime rib needs nothing more than salt and pepper. Now that we'd found a dependable cooking method, we could serve this once-a-year roast with confidence.
With two pieces of kitchen twine running parallel to the bone, tie the roast at both ends to prevent the outer layer of meat from pulling away from the rib-eye muscle and overcooking.
1 (7-pound; 3-rib) standing rib roast, trimmed and tied (see note)
Table salt and ground black pepper
1. Pat the roast dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Cover the roast loosely with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
2. Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position and heat the oven to 250 degrees. Heat a large roasting pan over two burners set at medium-high heat until hot, about 4 minutes. Place the roast in the hot pan and cook on all sides until nicely browned and about 1/2 cup fat has rendered, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Remove the roast from the pan. Set a wire rack in the pan, then set the roast on the rack.
4. Place the roast in the oven and roast until the meat registers 125 degrees on an instant-read thermometer for rare, 130 degrees for medium-rare, and 140 degrees for medium, 3 to 31/2 hours. Remove the roast from the oven and tent with foil. Let stand for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the roast.
5. Remove the twine and set the roast on a carving board, with the rib bones at a 90-degree angle to the board. Carve and serve immediately.

"The Eye of the Hurricane"
In any stage production, the director is the eye of the hurricane. Everyone else involved in the journey from concept to strike – writers, performers, designers, stage crew, and maybe most critically, the audience – they all rely on the director to pull it together, make it happen, and see to it that everyone "gets their moneys worth"; a great, moving, memorable theatre experience. Good directors not only posses a thoughtful, working understanding of every aspect of theatrical production, they also have the temperament, will and stamina to inspire the best from everyone else on the production team. In short, excellent directors are not only exciting conceptual, creative artists, they are excellent leaders as well. That's a lot of responsibility, and a lot of work; and frankly, it's not for everybody. But if that's you, if you want to direct, we can help you hone all of those skills. We offer a couple of programs designed to accommodate the needs of student directors; the B.F.A. in Performing Arts with a concentration in Directing, or the B.A. in Theatre.
The B.F.A. requires 37 hours of core courses in theatre production, performance, design, and history/theory, plus another 37 concentration hours designed especially for directing students. These include courses in acting, directing, choreography and stage management, plus a handful of restricted electives that allow you to choose some courses you think relevant and helpful to your becoming a good director. Admission into the B.F.A. program is by invitation only; you'll need to audition/interview in your third semester. Until then, students wishing to declare this B.F.A. are classified as "seeking admission." Visit the BFA Audition Policy page for a full explanation of the process. Finally, because this BFA program requires so many credit hours by itself, you will not be required – or expected – to also earn a minor.
The B.A. in Theatre, while requiring fewer hours over all, still gives you full access to our acting and directing courses, while at the same time allowing more leeway to study other areas of the WKU curriculum more deeply. For example, if you also have a strong interest in Creative Writing or Performing Arts Administration, you might want to consider a minor in either – or both – something our B.A. is designed to accommodate. And finally, acceptance into the B.A. is unrestricted; you do not have to audition to declare our B.A. in Theatre.
Detailed outlines of the specific requirements of both of these degree programs can be viewed and downloaded from the Degree Programs page. For more information about WKU Department of Theatre & Dance Directing programs, please contact Scott Stroot at (270) 745-6290 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The times they don't seem to be a changin'
In President Obama's State of the Union Speech Wednesday, he said that the American people "face a deficit of trust — deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years." He ain't kidding. So we thought it would be appropriate to highlight a few of our public servants considered to be among the most corrupt. A few months ago Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released their list of the 15 most corrupt member of Congress. There are 12 congressmen on the list and three senators. Seven are Republicans and eight are Democrats, and all of them seem to have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. The first on the list is a gentleman from the sunshine state… Photo Credit: hellohowareyoudoing

Did Climate Scientists Change from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change"? Heck No
As Sinclair shows:
1. The term "Climate Change" has been around longer than the term "Global Warming."
2. Rather than climate scientists and those concerned with global warming steering us towards the term "climate change," it was actually a key Republican pollster and linguist, Frank Luntz, who did so (counter to what many "global warming deniers" will tell you).
3. The attack on scientific consensus regarding global warming is political, based on the demands of certain members of the energy industry and business community (who can't see past the end of their noses or budgets)….
Much better than I could summarize it, however, Peter Sinclair nails this topic (as he does with so many climate science myths).

Caffè Latte Ice Cream
- Serves: 2 pints
- Active Time: 1 hr
- Total Time: 1 hr 30 mins
- Views: 44,809
- Success: 98%
Step 1: Infusing the Cream• 500 ml heavy cream
• 500 ml whole milk
• 1 cup quality (preferably espresso) coffee beans
Before you start the ice cream, make sure the bowl of your ice cream maker is completely frozen. Place an empty container to hold the finished ice cream in the freezer to chill.
Crush the coffee beans to break them up. Pour the cream, milk, and beans into a pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Once boiling, remove from the heat and set aside. Let steep/infuse for approximately 30 minutes; any longer and it will need to be refrigerated.
Strain the mixture back into a measuring cup and top up with more cream to equal 1 liter.
Step 2: Making the Crème Anglaise• 10 large egg yolks
• 1 cup sugar
Before you start the Crème Anglaise, prepare an ice bath. Pour the coffee cream into a clean pot over medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until they are thick and light in color.
Once the mixture just comes to a boil, temper the eggs by slowly pouring in the hot liquid, while constantly whisking. Whisk until there are no sugar granules left in the bowl.
Pour this mixture back into a pot over medium heat. At this point, it's very important to stir constantly. Don't let the mixture boil or the eggs will curdle. Keep stirring and occasionally test the consistency on the back of a wooden spoon. Once done, quickly strain into a bowl and place into the ice bath to chill. For food safety reasons, it's very important to bring down the temperature as fast as possible. Stir and cool the mixture down until it is at least 4° degrees Celsius or 40° degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 3: Making the Ice Cream
Once the mixture is cold, turn the machine on and pour the anglaise into the frozen ice cream insert. Let run for about 20-25 minutes, depending on your machine. You will see the anglaise getting thicker, as air gets incorporated.
Once ready, gently scoop out the ice cream into the frozen bowl from the freezer. Make sure to use a soft spatula to scrape out the ice cream or you will scratch the container. Cover the ice cream with plastic wrap and a lid and freeze until hardened. Scoop into bowls and enjoy.
Chef's Notes
- by Kimberley Slobodian
- •
- October 25, 2007
This recipe makes 2 pints. If you have a smaller ice cream machine, you can either cut this recipe in half or churn it in two batches. Just remember to fully freeze the canister between batches.
Once the anglaise has cooled over the ice bath, it can be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator until you are ready to churn.
If you're not comfortable with the wooden spoon test, cook the anglaise to exactly 82° degrees Celsius (180° degrees Fahrenheit).
During the last few minutes of churning, you can add more texture and flavor with tiny pieces of chocolate or nuts.
For food safety reasons, melted ice cream should never be re-frozen.

grounding for sub panel
hi i have a question about sub panels, i wanted to add one to my detached pole barn and was wondering if i ran 3 6's out to it and put a ground rod out with it i can then bond the neutral bar to the panel, and bong all the grounds and neutrals together right? And if i didnt decide to put a ground rod out there and ran three 6's w/ a ground i would not bond the panel and i couldnt land all the neutrals and grounds together?
Any help would be appreicated
thx aaron
didnt you just ask this question in another thread?
You can do either (3 or 4 - wire) but you need a ground rod at the barn either way.
And I agree. I think I've seen this question before.

Home > News & Events > News > Alumni Stories > Public Service Innovators -- Margaret Blood, MPA 1987: A Powerful Friend for Children
Child advocate Margaret Blood, MPA 1987, knew she could take a huge step forward in the welfare of Massachusetts' children when she uncovered surprising voter attitudes toward public financing of child-care. Voters are more receptive to public financing, notes Blood, when child-care is framed as "early childhood education" for 3, 4 and 5-year-olds.
Her challenge then was to convince the state leadership. Despite the fact that 80% of mothers with small children work and a record number of children are being cared for outside the home, many opinion leaders had a negative view about universal child-care. The state doesn't mandate education for children until age 6 and Blood knew that a critical opportunity was being missed. Too many children, she says, are unprepared for school and scientific evidence shows that, by age 5, a child's brain is 85% formed.
So Blood founded the non-profit, Strategies for Children and developed the Early Education for All Campaign. She and her team reached some four thousand people through thirty-two community forums in libraries, police stations and community centers. A key strategy is the coalition of powerful lobbies that Blood has brought together: teachers unions, parent groups, early childhood specialists, business and religious leaders along with community activists. And this past December the Campaign submitted a bill at the State House that seeks universally accessible early education for all 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds.
Blood's interest in helping children began at age fourteen in New Jersey where she tutored inner city children through her church. Later in Boston, she became a community organizer in the Mission Hill section of the city. "I was appalled to see how we allow children to live, particularly in the shadows of Harvard Medical School. It radicalized me." Blood was shocked when she was running a summer day camp where a young girl in the program explained she had cotton in her ears to keep the cockroaches at bay at night.
Galvanized, Blood turned to legislative politics to effect change. She worked for a local state representative as a legislative aide and learned about politics. "I learned how policy works -- or mostly doesn't work for children," she said. She co-founded the Massachusetts Legislative Children's Caucus. She went on to direct Community Programs for the Department of Pediatrics at Boston City Hospital and Boston University School of Medicine. She led the United Way's successful "Success by 6 Initiative", to make health insurance universally available to children as well as initiating the "Invest in Children" license plate program to fund improvements in child care programs.
There is great need says Blood, noting that, "we pay entry-level child- care workers $7 an hour, half of what the average dog-groomer makes. Children don't have many effective lobbyists. Powerless children need powerful friends."

Rain water in trunk
Performed 2 searches for info on locating source of water leaks into trunk. Found some "interesting" threads but after reading 7 pages of post returns on each search I am now starting a new post.
'01 325 convertible with factory hardtop. Hardtop has been installed since Sept. as we do get a little rain here in the Northwet. Smelled mildew, opened trunk and determined trunk as source of smell. Removed trunk contents, the carpet on the floor felt a little moist (I think), and removed spare to find an inch of water below the spare tire. Car is garaged when home but parked outside during 12 hour night shifts. After drying out the area where the spare goes water returned after a rainy night parked outside at the hospital.
Removed hard top and put up soft top. Soft top is fine, no visible signs or smell of mildew, for which I'm thankful. I have not parked the car outside in the rain since I put the soft top up.
How is the weather strip on the hard top? Did you lock it tight in the back? Sounds like its a large leak, spray water to see if you can spot the leak. Do this with soft top first to isolate the issue, ie hardtop or some other culprit
Sounds funny, but a friend tracked a leak by stuffing (and where necessary taping) a bunch of paper towel pieces inside his car in the areas around where the water was ending up, and then running it through a car wash and checking what got wet. Worked for him... :)
We occaisionally get rain around here in the summer and the trunk never got wet so it would stand to reason that the problem would be related to the hard top. Thanks for the suggestions,

In case you were wondering where the IBM technical journals are (Systems Journal or Journal of Research and Development):

Not J-Law's latest photo-bombing antics. Not Emma Thompson's shoeless presenting. No, not even Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's hilarious hosting. It was Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Fassbender representing Britain and Ireland on the dancefloor. We were so proud. But what happened next? They went on a dancing tour of British TV land, of course... "Why must you always embarrass me like this, Sherlock?" Nice of Benedict to invite Michael to the Sherlock series three wrap party... (Welcome to your new desktop wallpaper) The Daleks are doing their best, but without arms and legs it's just Em-barr-ess-ing! Poor Louis Smith, he's wearing tight lycra, he's balancing on a ball, he's even taken his top off, but no-one's interested – they're all looking at future Strictly champions Benny and Mike instead. Awkward. Lady Rose is putting on a brave face but, really, who wants to dance with the Prince of Wales when you could be getting down(ton) with British showbiz royalty...

The Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance (BSCFA) helps you meet
the cost of uniforms and footwear for children going to school.
You (the parent or guardian) must be getting certain
social welfare payments or taking part in training, employment or adult
education schemes and your child/ren must be aged between 4 and 17 on or
before 30 September of the year you apply or aged between 18 and 22 on or
before 30 September if still in second-level education.
This scheme for 2017 is now open. The closing date for applications
is 30 September 2017.
The Department of Social Protection pays BSCFA automatically to many
customers. This means that they do not have to apply for the payment. If you
qualify automatically, you should receive a letter stating when and how your
Allowance will be paid. (These customers will be notified of their entitlements shortly. The payment
will be made during the week ending 14 July.)
You may qualify for the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance if
you are:
Your child must be aged between 4-17 on or before 30 September 2017. If they
are aged between 18-22 they must be in full-time second-level
education in a recognised school or college.
In general you must be getting an Increase
for a Qualified Child (IQC) with your payment. There are some exceptions to
this. For example, you may be getting a qualifying payment but you are not
getting an increase for your child (because the rules of the scheme do not
provide for a child payment) – Maternity Benefit or Adoptive Benefit are
examples. In such cases you can still claim BSCFA if you satisfy the other
criteria. In other cases an IQC is not paid because the income of your spouse
or partner is over the specified limits but if your overall household income is
within the limits specified below you may qualify. You cannot claim BSCFA for a
child that is not resident in the State. Foster children are not eligible for
the BSCFA because the financial support parents get from Tusla - the Child and
Family Agency (Foster Care Allowance) includes help with the cost of clothing
and footwear for the child.
Note that if you have applied for a social welfare payment
or have appealed a decision not to award you a social welfare payment and are
waiting for a decision on your application, you should apply for the BSCFA
before the scheme closes on 30 September 2017. Your entitlement will be
established when you get a decision on your application or appeal.
To qualify for the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance, your
total household income must be less than the amounts set out in the table
below. All your dependent children are taken into account for the income limits
(including children who do not qualify for BSCFA, because they are under 4).
Your total household income includes your main social welfare or Health
Service Executive payment, the income of any dependent children on the
Youthreach Programme and any other income you may have including wages
(before tax, but excluding PRSI
and a standard travel allowance of up to €20 per week), maintenance, savings
and investments.
Savings and investments (including property, but not your
home) are assessed as follows:
Any income you get from Child Benefit, Rent
Supplement or Mortgage
Interest Supplement, Family Income Supplement, guardian's
payments, Blind
Welfare Allowance, Rehabilitation
Training Allowance, rehabilitative employment (up to €120 per week), Domiciliary
Care Allowance and Mobility
Allowance is not counted.
*The income limit is increased by €29.80 for each additional dependent
If you are getting a Back to Education
Allowance or VTOS
allowance, you can apply for the Back to School Clothing and Footwear
Allowance. You will be assessed using the standard rules and your total
household income must be less than the income limits.
There are some special conditions for people who are on Back
to Work Enterprise Allowance, Community
Employment, Rural Social
and the Community Services Programme.
If you were on a social welfare payment before going onto one of these
schemes, you will first be assessed using the standard means test for the Back
to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance.
If you fail to qualify using the standard means test, you will be
re-assessed to find out if you can retain the Allowance as a secondary benefit
under the different back to work schemes. In the re-assessment you can keep
your entitlement to the Back to School Clothing and Footwear Allowance (or
apply for it if you did not have an eligible child before now), as long as your
gross household income is less than €317.43.
In the re-assessment of means, the value of the Back to Work Enterprise
Allowance and Family Income Supplement is not taken into account in the
calculation of your gross household income. The people most likely to qualify
using the secondary benefit (€317.43) assessment are people getting a Back to
Work Enterprise Allowance.
The allowance paid for each eligible child aged 4-11 on or before 30
September 2017 is €125.
The allowance paid for each eligible child aged 12-22 on or before 30
September 2017 is €250. Children aged between 18 and 22 years must be in
full-time second-level education in a recognised school or college.
The scheme for 2017 opened on 1 June 2017. The closing date for
applications is 30 September 2017.
The Department of Social Protection pays BSCFA automatically to many
If you did not get an automatic payment you must apply for the Allowance. If
any of your children are aged 18 or over, you must apply for the Allowance for
them and supply evidence that they are in second-level education (even if
automatic payments have issued for other children in the family).
