A Bride's DJ & Uplighting, united states
"A Bride's DJ (DJ Scott) was AWESOME!! The dance floor was PACKED from start to finish...I bet 80% of the people at our reception stayed until the very end and they were ALL dancing. DJ Scott brings his wife with him and she helps with ANYTHING you need. We had disposable cameras on our tables and she went around toward the end of the night and finished off all the cameras for us. I couldn't say enough great things about them. Also, Diana and her husband Robby (the owners) take excellent care of you from start to finish. They are incredibly fast at answering emails and calling you back. My biggest fear about our reception was that it wouldn't run smoothly (aside from the dance floor not being full), so I wanted a DJ that could take care of that for us...after talking to Diana the first time, she put all my worries to rest and we were able to have the time of our lives! I would HIGHLY recommend A Bride's DJ to anyone! They are personable and genuinely care about the Bride's wants and needs."

I read the first book Eden and I loved it. Sure there was a zombie apocalypse going on in the back ground, But i think the book was really about the realtionships those people had with each other & the good guy dosen't always live in the end.....
So I was almost giddy with excitement when i saw book 2 Crusade was coming out.I needed to know what happened to Buddy, Bear and Harris's pregnant girlfriend Julie.
You got a good look at Buddy and how he was dealing with his "ISSUES"-If you can say a convicted child killer has "ISSUES". And bear protecting Harris's girlfriend and baby, even though in the end he couldnt save them from Buddy.
If your looking for a very good horror/zombie story this is the series for you.

[AMERICANS ABROAD] Jozy Altidore set a new career high Tuesday, scoring his 20th goal of the season from the penalty
spot for AZ in its 5-0 win at Den Bosch in the Dutch Cup quarterfinals, but the match was marred by racist chants directed at the American striker. Altidore refused to be provoked by the sounds of
"jungle noises," saying, "I'm not going to fight them. They have some issues and need some help. You pray for them and hope they get better."
Altidore's goal in the 39th minute made it 4-0 and came after Den Bosch defender Jelle De Bock was red carded for taking him down in the area.
Den Bosch fans continued to hurl abuse at Altidore, but he refused to take the referee up on his offer for him to leave the game.
The game was halted after a second Den Bosch red card in the 51st minute as fans began to toss snowballs at the assistant referee and continue to verbally abuse Altidore.
The game was momentarily halted and fans told up cut out the "jungle noises" or the game would be terminated.
Altidore, who later set up the fifth goal scored by Adam Maher, said he had an obligation to his club and his family not to be provoked:

Records: U-M (2-1), USF (2-0)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, Feb. 10 -- vs. Samford - USF Tournament (Tampa, Fla.), 9 a.m.
TAMPA, Fla. -- A two-out bloop single in the bottom of the sixth inning was the deciding run in the 15th-ranked University of Michigan softball team's 3-2 loss at No. 12 South Florida today (Saturday, Feb. 9) at the USF Tournament held at the USF Softball Stadium.
Sophomore Sara Driesenga (Hudsonville, Mich./Hudsonville) gave up just six hits in six innings and three runs -- one of them unearned. Driesenga struck out three and walked none, including retiring eight straight batters from the second inning into the fourth. Following a USF single in the fourth, she began another streak of six straight batters that carried into the sixth inning.
Freshman Sierra Romero (Murrieta, Calif./Vista Murrieta) got the Wolverines on the board in the first. Junior leadoff hitter Lyndsay Doyle (Channahon, Ill./Minooka Community) walked on a full count and then stole second. A batter later, Romero hit a 2-2 pitch deep over the wall in leftfield. It is the second home run on the season for her (and second of the day), and she now has eight runs batted in.
The Bulls came up with an equalizer in their half of the first. Despite only hitting one ball out of the infield, they pushed two runs across the plate.
The Wolverine bats stayed quiet the rest of the game. They were retired in order save for a Romero walk in the fourth.
With two outs in the sixth, a USF double put the winning run on second base, before a bloop single into right field scored the deciding run.
The Bulls used two pitchers to retire the Wolverines in order in the top of the seventh. On the day, the Maize and Blue collected two runs on one hit and committed one error. Driesenga's record moves to 2-1 on the season.
Michigan wraps up its appearance in the USF Tournament on Sunday (Feb. 9) against Samford at 9 a.m. in Tampa, Fla.
Sierra Romero now has eight RBI in her first three collegiate softball games.
Romero has a hit in each of Michigan's first three games.
Lyndsay Doyle has three steals in three games.
Doyle reached base in five consecutive at-bats before being retired in the third inning.
Michigan is now 11-6 all-time against USF. U-M dropped the last meeting on Feb. 29, 2012, 2-0.
Michigan is now 0-1 against ranked opponents in 2013.

The first quarter of 2013 has been a roller-coaster ride for Bitcoin. At the end of 2012, a single unit of the digital currency cost less than one cent. By January 2013, the price had crept up to $15. After an unprecedented rise in value, soaring to highs of $266, investors suddenly panicked and fled in droves. Bitcoin nosedived to $55. It later rallied, however, hitting $139 per coin. At the time of writing, it has been fluctuating around the low and middle hundreds for some days.
Most experts agree that the current elevation in Bitcoin's prices is an unsustainable bubble rather than a lasting boom. What's more interesting is the mark that current events in the world of digital coinage may leave on the financial landscape. It's clear that Bitcoin can no longer-be seen as a passing fad or a quasi-legal scrip for the criminal underworld. At least for now, it has become a financial tool for currency traders and a respectable option when paying for goods and services both online and in the real world.
Not everyone is enthused by the recent surge in popularity, however. Bitcoin has never been without its critics. Even proponents of crypto currencies in general have expressed skepticism and frustration over the limitations of the digital coinage. Over and above predictions that the current bubble must inevitably burst, various experts from the worlds of finance, law enforcement and computer-security have raised concerns regarding the novel currency.
Some argue that Bitcoin is unnecessary given the existence of more conventional digital payment methods: credit cards, PayPal and Internet-based bank transfers, to name but a few. Others point to the limited number of legitimate places to spend your coins. Those who are chiefly concerned with government scrutiny of their finances have expressed doubts over Bitcoin's supposed intractability.
Bitcoins must be stored in "wallets" — something like an individual PO Box to which only the wallet owner has the key —which are vulnerable to theft or loss. Additionally, you can buy them through reputable exchanges – here is a great list of the Best Bitcoin Exchange. If the codes allowing access to a user's wallet are discovered, it can be emptied by someone else. A hard drive crash that wipes out digital information relating to the wallet can permanently destroy any Bitcoins belonging to the owner.
The legal status of Bitcoin is hazy. Under many existing laws, it both is and is not a currency. If a government were to come down firmly on the side of illegality, using the Bitcoins in your wallet might become a crime overnight. If determined to be a legitimate currency, on the other hand, they might be subject to heavy taxation.
The Bitcoin name has been inextricably linked with criminality virtually since its inception. It's become a favorite among those who want to cover their tracks with an anonymous payment method. In particular, Bitcoins are used by traders on the Silk Road. This anything-goes marketplace is accessible only by those using the anonymized Tor network, a part of the unsearchable deep web. Customers on the Silk Road can buy or sell virtually anything — a gun, hard drugs, the services of hit-men — and Bitcoin is the preferred currency.
Unlike conventional currencies, Bitcoins are not issued but "mined." To mine a coin, a user must volunteer computer resources to solve a complicated equation. The computing power needed to mine Bitcoins is fairly large, putting them out of the reach of anyone who doesn't own a high-end machine. This has inevitably resulted in the creation of malware that hijacks infected computers and forces them to mine Bitcoins. The rising value of Bitcoins has meant a rise in the spread of this kind of malware. The mining and wallet concepts, along with other technological restrictions, mean that Bitcoins are hard to acquire and difficult to use.
These and other issues have prompted the development of other digital currencies that attempt to get around the problems inherent in Bitcoin. Litecoin, a successor to Bitcoin that is explicitly modeled on its parent crypto currency, is intended to permit effective mining on ordinary consumer-grade computer. The startup OpenCoin has launched the Ripple: instead of needing to be mined, Ripples are simply issued by OpenCoin. The company has issued a fixed number of Ripples (100 billion) and vows never to issue more. Another new player is Peer to Peer Coin, also known as P2PCoin or PPC. Although a very young and already attracting criticism of its own, PPC is already thriving: as of mid-April 2013, it's the third largest digital crypto currency.
One thing is certain: when the Bitcoin bubble finally does burst, there will be plenty of other currencies waiting to steal its crown.

USB ports have become the universal computer interface. Why do we care? Because microcontrollers control the world, making the question of who controls the microcontrollers very important. Your car has dozens of microcontrollers -- possibly more than a hundred. Farm machinery, appliances, toys, weapons, home theater equipment, cameras, model trains, industrial robots, dog collars, surveillance gear -- they're everywhere.
There has to be a way to interface with microcontrollers. Sometimes this is the realm of programmers and engineers with specialized equipment. Sometimes they are user-accessible, and an easy and common interface is the good old USB port. For this I am happy, because I remember the painful bad old days of device connectivity. You young'uns won't believe me, but we couldn't just plug external hard drives or USB sticks into computers. We couldn't plug cameras and smartphones into computers, or turntables, speakers, headsets, multi-channel recording interfaces -- not even keyboards and mice. No, this was a strange and difficult task, and involved hassling with PS/2 ports, serial ports, parallel ports, IDE ports, and other primitive technologies.
Now there are USB ports everywhere, and here are eight of the strangest places I have seen them.
Dead Drops
Dead Drops is "an anonymous, offline, peer to peer file-sharing network in public space." Translated from art-geek-speak, that means planting USB sticks in public places and encouraging people to share files on them. You're probably thinking, "But what if someone steals it? What if they put malware on it?" Both are possible. On Deaddrops.com, you'll see USB sticks mortared into walls. If someone really wants a $10 USB stick they'll chip at that mortar for days. I use a blob of silicone caulking, which holds it securely and is reasonably removable. The safest way to view files from untrusted sources is to boot a Linux live CD-ROM, such as Ubuntu. Most malware is Windows malware so Linux is immune, and a CD-ROM cannot be infected.
Aram Bartholl is the artist who conceived this project. He installed five USB sticks in different locations in the New York area with a single file on them, a README explaining the project. The project captured the imaginations of many, as you can see on the Dead Drops worldwide map. You can add your own Dead Drops to the database and map.
Desktop beverage cooler
The USB bus carries a little bit of power, so low-power devices can draw power from it without needing a separate power cord. And so we can have essential comfort-enhancing appliances like the genuine USB Fridge for keeping a single can of juice or soda cool right on our desks, thereby saving us that long trek to the kitchen. It claims to lower beverage temperature to 47° in five minutes. There is a blue LED inside that doesn't really illuminate anything, but it looks cool.
While we're on Thinkgeek, why not a the ichime Programmable Doorbell? It comes with a set of tones, but why settle for those when you can put your own custom sounds on it? Just think of the possibilities: scary sound effects for Halloween, special creepy tones for unwanted solicitors, your favorite symphony in tinny doorbell tones, or maybe even something welcoming, if you really must have that.

My.com and Obsidian Entertainment have revealed new information about one of the zones that players will encounter when playing Skyforge. Called the "Lanber Forest", the zone is seemingly a tranquil and peaceful place. The beauty, however, only masks the evil that lies just beneath the surface.
Nerion, once the patron of the Lanber Lands, has betrayed his followers and formed an alliance with the Mantide army, who have been awakened after centuries of sleep and seek to spread throughout the planet, destroying the unwanted and dominating the weak. The mortals of the Lanber Lands are now condemned to suffer and die at the clutches of these evil creatures.
Now, Nerion's Castle, which towers over the Lanber Forest, no longer symbolizes divine protection, but reminds mortals of the traitorous god whom they once looked to for protection.

Ask any runner what one of the first things they think about in the new year, and they would probably tell you their race schedule. Heck, most of us plan the following years race schedule before the year even starts. And I'm totally guilty. Personally, I need races on my schedule to keep me accountable and on track. I like having something to train for, in fact, I really need the structure. Taking care of two small boys can be so unpredictable on a day to day basis, that staying in training gives me something consistent and constant in my life.
So today, I'm joining up with Erika, April, and Patty for Tuesday's on the Run to talk about 2015 Race Schedules!
Seriously, planning my race schedule is tough. There are so many amazing races here in DC that I just want to register for ALL of the races. I'm pretty sure my husband would divorce me if I did that and we would probably go bankrupt, so as of right now, these are the ones I've decided on. I'm sure there will be some late additions later in the year.
March 1—Pacers St Pat's Double
(5K followed by a 10K), this is a new one for me. Pacers races are always amazing, so I'm super excited for this one!
March 14—Rock N Roll DC
I am really excited to be running this again. This was my first half marathon post baby, in fact it was my first half marathon in 5 years after we moved to DC. I'll be running as part of the Rock N Blog team!
April 12—Paris Marathon
Are there really any words for this?? I can't believe I"m going run the Paris Marathon in less than 90 days. One of the top 3 marathons in the world. Holy crap. Kind of freaking out actually because I'm about 6-7 weeks behind in my training because of my illness. I've resolved myself to the fact that I won't be pushing for a PR, I just want to go and enjoy the experience.
April 26—GW Parkway 10 Miler
One of my favorite races in the area. This race starts at Mt. Vernon and ends in Old Town Alexandria, following along the Potomac River. It's a beautiful race and I've done it every year since we moved here.
May 3—Frederick Half Marathon
I deferred this race last year due to my calf injury. I've heard it's a great race and I'm excited to give it a shot this year!
May 24th—Alexandria Running Festival Half Marathon
Also deferred from last year due to injury, so going to give it a shot again! It is so close to home, it's kind of hard NOT to do it!
September 20—Air Force/Navy Half Marathon
Not registered yet, but I loved this race last year and of course the military races hold a special place in my heart, so this one is a no brainer.
Sept 26—Clarendon Day double
I did this one last year as well and really enjoyed it. The double includes doing a 5K first followed by a 10K.
Oct 2-3 Ragnar DC
SO EXCITED for this one. I can't wait to do this with my MRTT Mamas, our team name? The NO DRAMA MAMAS. I really need no drama after the last one I did!
Several races are still up in the air. I need to pick two other Rock N Roll races as part of the Rock N Blog team. I'm thinking Virginia Beach, Philly or Brooklyn for one, and possibly Las Vegas for the 3rd. My MIL lives in Vegas so it would be a good opportunity to take the boys out for a visit. And plus it's Vegas Baby, the chance to run the strip at night sounds like a blast!
The other dilemma? A few days after MCM last year my husband said he was thinking he might want to do MCM this year since it was the 40th anniversary. Ummmm……
My first reaction (in my head of course) was, "Oh HELL NO. This running thing is MY thing, not yours!!"And then I said, "of course honey, it's not ALL about ME. If you would like to run it I think you should." I'm just not sure we could BOTH train for a marathon at the same time. We would have to give up our summer of weekends to do it, so this is something we need to seriously discuss, and soon. The NYC Marathon lottery opens tomorrow too, but that would still entail training at the same time. So lots to talk about. It's kind of funny because I had no intention of running a fall marathon. I was going to do Paris and then be done for the year, but then I heard it was the 40th anniversary and I wanted to jump back on the bandwagon. I guess we'll see if there is a fall marathon in my future! I've been hearing a lot of people saying to do both, but I'm not sure I could handle two marathons a week apart. The other option could to be either try and PR a half marathon in the fall OR go for a 50K with Beachyrunner. The race I'm thinking about is in December so our training would only overlap a little bit. Hmmm, decisions, decisions!So many races, not enough time (or money): 2015 Race Schedule @suzy399 #motherrunner #fitfluential #sweatpink Click To Tweet
What races are on your calendar that YOU are most excited about?
What do you think, should I go for 4oth Anniversary MCM, NYC or 50K?
How many races are you planning on racing this year?

Leather cleaning question
I have done a lot of homework on cleaning and so I use Lexol. And I clean & condition my seats often, but also correctly. My question is; I have tan interior and it seems like because of the way the e46 seats are, there are like groove like waves in the seat (hope you all know what I mean LOL) in the dirt and dust is very prominent. You can see it and in order to clean it you have to scrub hard, thus this also scrubs off the protective layer on the leather. This is the same problem with the door trim as well. The dirt gets in the little grooves in the Final/leather@and if you scrub it clean, you basically scrub off a layer of the leather/leatherette. Does anyone recommend another way of cleaning? Also, I have neuropathy in the hands and scrubbing is very hard. I need to find another way to clean it so the dirt can get out of these grooves; without further damaging and hurting my hands. And no, I am not buying new door panels or seats LOL

Use warm water + woolite and gently scrub using a microfiber. use a soft toothbrush on harder surfaces like door panels. then condition with your favorite conditioner.
put the woolite solution in a spray bottle and pre-soak the affected areas by lightly misting. do one seat/panel/section at a time.

Clean - there are two cleaning-related factors that can cause your leather to wear prematurely. The first is dirt, and the second is oil, combined they become very abrasive, as dirt / grit and subsequent friction cause the finish to wear. Use an aqueous (water- based) foam cleaner (Leather Master Foam Cleaner) a foaming action makes it especially safe for Aniline, heated seats and perforated finished leather surfaces. Foam encapsulates the dirt so that it can then be wiped away; allow the foam to dwell to ensure the chemicals have time to work.
The foam holds the dirt in suspension, avoiding the possibility of being simply pushed around or being re-deposited on the surface, a medium soft brush can be used to clean any folds or creases; this will help to dislodge any ingrained dirt, which can then be just wiped away with a clean, soft towel.
For stubborn dirt use Leather Master Strong Cleaner, which can be diluted with distilled water to the required strength; do not apply any liquid cleaning product directly to the surface of finished leather, as it may spot clean leaving a faded area? Always apply cleaning products to folded 100% cotton micro fibre towel and then apply using light / medium pressure.
For ingrained soil the best results are obtained by placing a damp micro fibre towel in the microwave and heat for a few minutes - until they are really hot but not so hot that you can't touch them. Place on the seats and leave for a few minutes, this should lift / loosen any ingrained dirt
Modern automotive leather upholstery use a completely different tanning processes and finishing system, utilizing advanced polymers and chemicals (urethane doesnt require conditioning or rejuvenation) and as a consequence they do not need to be treated with aftercare products containing oils or proteins. Oils and soft plastics (polymers, acrylics and urethanes) are not compatible; repeated application on to finished leather can cause the break-down of cross-linking and binding agents.
Oil accelerates the deterioration of urethane over time. After extended use the condition of the finished leathers pigmentation (colour) will be removed by the oil causing the urethane protection to become delaminated.

Within these articles youll discover the How and Why and find pretty much everything you need to know about detailing and care of automotive leather; if you do your research correctly.
The most fundamental question to be answered before you clean or care for leather is to establish the type of leather finish used in the vehicle as the methodologies are very specific for each type
Automotive leather is typically finished with a coating that both provide protection from ultra violet radiation (degradation or fading) as well making it resistant to both abrasion and soiling. The finishes used in automotive upholstery leather are unique; much different than furniture, garment or shoe leathers. Finished leather is extremely resilient and easy to clean and maintain.

My Ride: is clean & protected
I personally use the Leatherique combo over the Lexol products. It does a better job of cleaning and conditioning the surface in my experience so you don't need to scrub so much. When you wipe off the excess product you should only be using light pressure with a clean/soft microfiber towel (ie DI Microfiber All Purpose Towel). Don't underestimate the importance of a good microfiber towel, they are integral in my experience. If you're scrubbing too hard you definitely can harm the surface, so be really careful. You can see how the Leatherique products are used in the detailing guide or our Ask a Pro Detailer Blog.
For the doors, dashboard, doors, console, carpets, fabrics, etc. I'm a big fan of the 303 Cleaner & Spot Remover. It's a highly effective product that should help you clean quicker and with less scrubbing.
Hope this helps!

World Bank urges nations to avoid food export bans
By Lesley Wroughton
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The World Bank on Monday urged countries to refrain from imposing policies that could trigger a new global food price crisis as drought-hit Russia said it could extend a grain export ban into next year.
World Bank Managing Director Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told Reuters the sharp spike in grain prices since last week did not amount to a crisis yet, but emphasized increased food price volatility would hurt poorer countries.
She said the poverty-fighting institution would activate a food fund when the World Bank board, currently in recess, reconvened in early September in case the situation worsened.
Grain prices have soared since last week after Russia, the world's No. 3 wheat producer in 2009/10, banned grain exports as the worst drought on record ravaged crops across the Black Sea region and concerns grew about supplies from dry weather in Western Australia.
In Ukraine, the world's sixth-largest wheat exporter, grain exports are facing delays after the introduction of a new system of customs controls last week, while bad weather there could cut crop and exports forecasts.
Okonjo-Iweala said the World Bank was conducting a survey of vulnerable countries amid reports that exporters had cancelled wheat contracts to Bangladesh and were reviewing contracted wheat supplies to Egypt, the world's largest wheat importer.
She said flooding in India, Pakistan and China had also raised food supply concerns.
"We don't see a crisis yet and are hoping to head it off by asking countries not to undertake policies that will precipitate a crisis," she said in an interview. Continued...

To welcome the English Premier League to NBC, the former SNL star took over as coach of Tottenham Hotspur.
Or André Villas Boas, the Portuguese coach of British club Tottenham Hotspur, talking about a game against Manchester United.
He was going down Tottenham way, and he said he'd take it to the post-office there.
I thought perhaps you had gone over to see that man at Tottenham.
But it was hard to believe that anything really wonderful could happen so near the Tottenham Court Road.
When you are safe, wire to the address in the Tottenham Court Road.
Two small boys walking down Tottenham Court Road, passed a tobacconist's shop.
His residence is the neighbourhood of London, Tottenham Court.
She didn't know whether she could describe it, but Mr. Tottenham was different from the kind of man you seemed to meet in India.
Tottenham never altered his course, and trusted to his own calculations.

Should mentally handicapped people be allowed to have children?
The word "should" means you are being asked your opinion.
Let us know what YOU THINK, and then someone here will be able to comment on your thinking.
i was thinking yes and no, because there are many factors that play in raising a child, it depends on the level of their mental retardation and if they can support and provide for a child and handle all the responsibilites that come with raising a child..
but the paper im writing askes me to choose a side..and i am unsure which to choose because those that are mentally handicapped have limits on what they can do but they are human beings and do have the right to reproduce, who are we to tell them what they can and cannot do, so of them might even make better parents than those that are considered "normal"
Whichever side of the issue you choose to support, be sure to truly support it -- and not be wishy-washy!!
It sounds as if the second half of what you wrote above is what you truly believe, so develop those ideas and see what you come up with. If you want someone here to read over what you write and give you feedback, be sure to post it.
what would be another support to why they should be able to..i have 2 so far
1. they have the right to do so
2. some mentally disabled people are able to provide and care for themselves

The twenty five year long civil war is over in Sri Lanka, but the aftermath remains with all its anger and frustration and deep seated wounds still alive. Over the past ten months, the Sri Lanka government has resettled about three-fourths of the estimated 280,000 people who were placed in camps due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time or because they were members of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE). An estimated 75,000 people are still in camps despite having no connection to LTTE. Unfortunately, thousands were wounded in the bitter conclusion of the civil war and remain physically or emotionally traumatized. They remain in tents, limited in their movements and without visible means of support.
There is need to an organized process both of restoring meaningful work and a place to live in order to avoid the resurgence of terrorist activities. A camp should only be temporary, a village offers family and friends, and jobs provide meaning to a those who have spent years engaged in fighting.

Newbie Questions (Light & Button)
1 Attachment(s)
Just bought a 2000 Z3 and have several issues I need to clean up.
#1, the Parking Brake light is on. It appears to be a defective switch as I can wiggle the lever around and it blinks off and on but won't stay off. Question" where is the switch located and how how do I get to it (remove the console?)
#2. Button on dash left of clock "DSC". Pushing it in causes a notification light on the instrument panel to come on. Traction Control or????. Can't find it in the Owners Manual
I'll have more as I go along but any help on this will be appreciated
Bill in Fort Walton Beach, FL
For the first question, RealOEM.com is your friend. It will show you where everything goes and what part numbers you need to order if something is broken.
For the second question, DSC is Dynamic Stability Control. If you turn it off, there is a light in the cluster to inform you that it is not there to protect you. For normal driving, you should leave it on.
Blacklane, thanks for the link (got it bookmarked). My luck as usual, nothing on the parking brake switch/sensor.
That's interesting.
The switch almost has to be under the hand brake lever. You can easily access that area by removing the boot. To do that, you simply pull up and forward on the back of the boot. It's glued to a plastic frame that pops out. You shouldn't need to remove the boot, but if you do, there is a zip tie around the brake handle the holds the boot.
OK, got the boot off as per Blacklane and found what looks like the switch at the back. However it's tight in there and to remove it I have to get to a phillips screw on the side which requires removing that part of the console. I jiggled and wiggled as far as I could reach with my little finger. The warning light on the dash is totally off now, (so far). When I get more time I'll investigate further. Need to invest in a can of electronic cleaner spray anyway and that might work to unstick the switch (if that's what the problem is)
Appreciate the help
Emergency/Parking/Hand Brake Switch Follow Up
1 Attachment(s)
I fiddled with the switch as best I could without getting into the center console and finally just disconnected it. Ordered a new switch after much searching (me and the dealer parts guy).
Saved a few tax bucks ordering it on line and it arrived in a 12"x12"x12" box, stuffed with big bubble packing and wrapped in a plastic security envelope. It's an itty bitty switch for Crissakes!!
Anyway, I took the car to an Indie yesterday to check a thump in the rear and and fix an oil drip.
I was telling him that I had to put the new switch in and he told me he'd fixed that. It was bent out of shape. So now I have an extra. If anybody needs it I'll sell it for $15 free shipping.
Also my cruise control was working intermittently so I checked on the forum for ideas. Seems like any interruption in the electrical circuit can cause the CC not to work, such as brake light out, wrong bulb etc.
Well, after repairing the hand brake switch the CC is working again. Who knew?

BludgerTrack: 53.1-46.9 to Labor
The weekly poll aggregate finds the latest Newspoll result checking the Coalition's modest poll recovery, and drives Tony Abbott's personal ratings to a new low.
Alternatively, you can email us or call us on (03) 8623 9900
Jul 3, 2014
The weekly poll aggregate finds the latest Newspoll result checking the Coalition's modest poll recovery, and drives Tony Abbott's personal ratings to a new low.
The Coalition's mildly improving polling trend over the past few weeks has taken a knock after the latest bad result from Newspoll, contributing to a 0.5% two-party shift in Labor's favour on the BludgerTrack poll aggregate. On the state-level seat projection, the big move this week is a three-seat shift to Labor in Queensland, where the Labor swing had probably been a bit undercooked on recent readings, along with one-seat gains in New South Wales and Western Australia. However, Labor is down a seat in Victoria after a blowout in their favour last week and also down one in Tasmania, resulting in a net gain of three. Newspoll also provided a new set of leadership ratings this week, which have pushed Tony Abbott out to his worst net personal approval rating since the election. Other figures on voting intention were provided this week by Essential Research, ReachTEL and Morgan. Full results as always on the sidebar.

News about the collapse of the local infrastructure surrounding the Australian aid program in Indonesia.
The abolition of AusAID and its supposed integration into the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was one of the first really stupid decisions made by this government, and with the benefit of hindsight, was clearly a sign of things to come.
[IN a dramatic escalation of the 'stop the boats' campaign Tamil asylum seekers from Sri Lanka are being ferried back to where they came from by an Australian Customs ship.
According to well-placed sources more than 150 Tamils, including up to 37 children, have been transferred to the ACV Ocean Protector for the long voyage back to Sri Lanka where the Sri Lankan government will take them back under an earlier agreement.]
joseph Stiglitz says changes to universities and health, a crime and absurd
And he says this
[Asked what Australia had done right that the US had not, Stiglitz replied: "Unions."
"You have been able to maintain stronger trade unions than the US. The absence of any protection for workers, any bargaining power, has had adverse effects in the US. You have a minimum wage of around $15 an hour. We have a minimum wage of $8 an hour. That pulls down our entire wage structure."]

An innovative approach —
[A SOLAR power company looking for new markets is giving its panels away.]
[…Hire Solar approached Chiltern IGA co-owner Don Alchin with an offer to give his business a free photovoltaic solar system.
With an expected life of well over 30 years, the 15 kilowatt, 60-panel system installed this week at the supermarket will produce benefits for both parties.
The agreement means that all equipment, installation and maintenance costs will be recouped by Hire Solar from the power produced by the panels.]
Morning all. Those who defended the supporting of he car industry in Adelaide probably would rather gloss over this consequence of that industry. Clovelly Park is right next to. (And downstream) of the former Mitsubishi site and the Tenneco (muffler) factory. This pollutant almots certainly came from one or the other.
Adelaide has a world class collection of derelict industrial buildings. As with the Penrice site, the genius strategy of propping them up until the factories have no financial assets left means that when they are gone the taxpayer has picked up the cost of remediating all of these toxic old sites. Clipsall and Hills industries were other examples. It is hard to think of a single case where the State government has enforced environmental legislation against manufacturers.

Thanks for the Stiglitz link. He explains it so simply and is absolutely correct. He gave a major public speech – the Joseph Fisher lecture, at Adelaide Uni last week, but it got no media coverage at all. He also talked about rising inequality in Australia, and its link to lower economic performance.
Have a good day all.
Good Morning
The reactions to refoulment are going to be interesting. I expct very strong attacks from Labor. I think the MP's will be as appalled as we are. I also think Mr Palmer on't hold back.
Speaking of PUP I like Jacqui Lambi's comments on why she dislikes Abbott. Slightly paraphrased
[Parading his daughters around in front of the cameras. As ex military I think that is putting his daughters lives at risk for political gain]
Ok, it's good that Hockey is talking about moving on corporate tax dodging.
Given that the measures proposed are what had been proposed under the Gillard government, didn't Hockey and co scream blue murder about them at the time – I can't quite remember, but I certainly don't remember them being supportive of anything.
And Hockey can't help being a prick – you're in government, mate, you don't need to make everything about the opposition:
"Labor had cosmetic solutions and we need real solutions," Mr Hockey said.
I hope one of the reliable economic commentators dissects the moves and tells us if they are better/worse than what the previous ALP government had proposed.
As a side note: isn't the government supposed to be doing a wide ranging taxation enquiry now? How does this 'announcement' fit in with that? It sounds a lot like they are being reactive and that they already know what they are going to do and the enquiry is just for theatre (which would, of course, fit everything else they have done), but they've been flushed out on this to play reactive politics (and/or make it up on the day):
The government move will blunt a renewed attack on it by the opposition which has accused it of allowing more than $1.1 billion in corporate tax revenue to slip through its fingers, while adopting tough measures to clamp down on seniors and the unemployed.
Adults in charge, my arse.
Andrew Laming (MP for Bowman, where else but Qld) has made a right tool of himself. He posted the following to his Facebook page yesterday:
[ Anyone out there still want the Carbon Tax imposed on everyone else? If so, I assume your house is off mains power and you don't own a vehicle. When you do that, I know you're serious about minimising carbon emissions. ]
He's since had to deal with a hell of a lot more trolling on that page than he's used to. He was even stupid enough to answer an email from a constituent with a personalised, snarkier version of that. It was one of those form letter things via the Australian Conservation Foundation, who have put the exchange up on their own page. If you're on FB, it's worth looking up both Laming's and the ACF's pages for a morning laugh.
The Greens seem to be going the way of the Dems, where differences between the parliametary party and the membership proved fatal..
(Disclaimer: I'm not predicting, or wanting the demise of the Greens…)
[Senator Milne, who first flagged supporting the change and then announced her party's opposition after losing the debate in her party room, could now face pressure for a second U-turn, this time led by a grassroots members' revolt..]
[A meeting has been called for Saturday at the Sydney Mechanics Institute, where NSW branch members are expected to advocate a return to the party's original position in the interests of policy integrity…]
[..In a sign of the intense divisions over the issue, Senator Rhiannon has invited members to have their say, even though the policy has been finalised, setting up a situation in which the party room has one policy and the membership another.
The Greens' constitution in NSW means Senator Rhiannon could be compelled by the membership to vote contrary to her leader, although that would have to come from a formal council meeting.]
[..t Greens inside the party room and in the broader movement conceded that the main reason for opposing the increase was "political".
The main advocates of the change were Deputy Leader Adam Bandt, Ms Milne's fellow Tasmanian senator Peter Whish-Wilson, and West Australian senator Scott Ludlam.
A senior Greens source called it politics over policy.]
[..Historically, the Greens have favoured higher relative prices for polluting fossil fuels.
Greens senators have received "stacks" of emails from disappointed constituents over the reversal, as well as official correspondence from at least one state branch protesting against the decision.]
The usual disclaimers, which appear to be necessary when posting anything vaguely critical of the Greens (it's OK to bash the Labor party, though…)
* I didn't write the article and am not responsible for either the statements within or the accuracy of the contents.
* I have no way of knowing how accurate the article is (see above), therefore I will not die in a ditch defending a word of it.
I liked Mumbles pithy put down
Peter Brent @mumbletwits · 17h
The logic of @AndrewLamingMP: you either live like a caveman or don't bother addressing climate change. Make this man leader after Tony.
That article could easily be written about the Labor Party on an issue. So saying its like the revolving leadership challenges of the Democrats and the Meg Lees last straw is a bit of a stretch.

Parading his daughters around in front of the cameras. As ex military I think that is putting his daughters lives at risk for political gain
"As ex military …"
Does she think this makes her judgement more qualified than anyone else's?
Another nutter in Parliament.
Yes, I think she rose to the dizzy rank of corporal.
As she was busily citing all of Tones failings this morning, I thought she was exhibiting a lot of them herself.
[The federal government is moving to recoup billions by closing loopholes that are exploited by multinational companies to shift profits and losses across international borders to minimise their tax bills.
Think about how likely it is that this government will actually do anything that will really upset big business.
The Greens are of course having the same problem as any other party within our political system. On the one hand they're expected to be advocates for a particular set of values, on the other, they can only be effective if they make decisions that take into account the diveristy of the Australian community.
It is only by happy coincidence that a party gets to do both on any particular issue. Most of the time our expectations for politicians are contrary. We need a system (and an electorate) that recognises the boundary between advocation and implementation.

'The Border Mail' is part of the fairfax stable, and this article appears to be from there (as in, not 'in house).
I agree that there are similar schisms in all parties.
The difference is that the Greens – like the Democrats before them, although I admit not to the same extent – are structured in such a way that the grassroots membership are supposed to be the ones who drive policy.
The Greens are in the situation where their stance in parliament appears to be contrary to their actual policy – hence the 'it's not policy, it's politics' statement.
Laming's revealing comments:
Anyone out there still want the Carbon Tax imposed on everyone else? If so, I assume your house is off mains power and you don't own a vehicle. When you do that, I know you're serious about minimising carbon emissions.
What an idiot, and he probably genuinely thinks he makes a killer argument here.
If this is what the denialist/anti-carbon-price folks actually feel it makes their general stupidity clearer.
The great thing, in my view, about a cap and trade system is that (properly implemented and accounted for) it guarantees that the overall environmental goals are met, but it doesn't prohibit any particular activity – it simply prices it.
Our (free-ish market economy) is based around the idea that people can spend their wealth on what they like. If people want to buy flashy cars and wide screen TVs and live in big houses in expensive locations, and they have the money to do so, we say "ok".
With a carbon price, if people choose to spend their money on lighting or driving their car that's ok, they can do so, they will just need to properly pay for the costs associated with any pollution.
The carbon price is not about arbitrary judgments and feeling guilty about emitting – quite the opposite it's about removing any judgment or guilt. The overall emissions target is set dispassionately based on the evidence and advice of experts, and people's choices about where they spend their money are left up to them.
In fact one of the big criticisms of cap-and-trade systems from many Greens is that individual action – such as that facetiously proposed by Laming – has no effect on the overall reductions because if a bunch of Greens don hair shirts and reduce their emissions to zero it just results in less competition for the fixed number of permits available causing the price everyone else pays to emit to fall, and the overall cap remains the same.
ie Laming should be overjoyed at a cap-and-trade system because it makes the behaviour he describes pointless in itself.
Let's play Laminglogic…
* If you think that government should live within its means and not borrow money, then you'd better not have a mortgage or a credit card yourself.
* If you think the 'age of entitlement' is over, and noone has the right to expect the government to 'subsidise their lifestyle', then you should expect MPs to pay their own expenses, and be in favour of withdrawing subsidies from the mining and agricultural sector.
Apologies the govt might make some tax changes – my memory is they are largely watered down (ie more big business friendly) versions of labor tax changes. I can check today but I'm sure the thin cap change was a labor change.
Essentially in meetings labor is hated by big business and the libs are clearly preferred. I was discussing the immediate exploration deduction changes on acquiring exploration assets the other day and several labor ministers got a massive serve (generally people assume anyone in these discussions is a strong liberal supporter) usually I ignore it.

DD is 17 months and was still nursing. She wasn't constantly asking to nurse but she usually asks about twice during the day and at bedtime. Two nights ago she didn't want to nurse which is really out of character for her. Once her pjs are on she has nursing on the mind and nothing else will do. The next night she tried latching after not nursing that day and she couldn't latch. She was fine with me holding her and putting her to bed without nursing. The next day she asked during the day but she wasn't really latching and the same with tonight. I asked if she wanted milk at bedtime tonight and she shaked yes with her body and pointed to my breasts. She gets in position and just makes sucking motions with her mouth but she isn't really latching or even trying to latch. She is not getting upset about it and doesn't mind when I stop trying. I am not sure what is going on. It is the strangest thing. How could she forget to nurse? It was only one day she went without nursing It also seems strange that she would be weaning so young with no signs of it coming. She isn't as attached to it as ds was and eats a lot but she showed no signs of weaning. Today she keeps asking to nurse so I think she still wants to but she is not latching at all. What is going on and what can I do about this?
My little one does that when he's in pain (mouth, throat or ears) or when he is so stuffed up he can't breathe through his nose. I try to deal with it quickly so it doesn't lead to a nursing strike.
These links may help:
http://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/baby/fussy-while-nursing.html (I know it
s for younger babies, but some of the reasons for baby to be fussy/not nurse may be the same.)
Good luck!
She doesn't have a cold right now and she isn't teething right now. Her molars already came in. She did bite her lip when this started but it seems healed now. I haven't gotten engorged at all even though she usually nurses so I wonder if my supply dropped suddenly. I have been on my cycles and do not have af right now.

Gerda Lerner— Fierce, Brilliant & Unique
Gerda Lerner was fierce, brilliant and unique. She lived history by her bravery, restored history by her scholarship, and democratized its study by her activism. She understood, as Paula Gunn Allen wrote, that, "the root of oppression is the loss of memory."
She was also wise about daily life. I remember her leading a small group of women in a discussion of aging. She went around the circle asking what we feared most about getting older, and everyone said in some form, "being dependent, a burden." Then she asked us if we felt the dependency of children was a burden. We all said no. In that instant, she changed our feeling about aging, and helped us understand that dependency is natural. At both ends of life, it's a chance for love and bonding.
For those who knew Gerda, she will always be a force. For those who don't yet know her, she awaits you in the words she left behind.
In Memoriam: Gerda Lerner, April 30, 1920 – January 2, 2013

Moju Takes On Instagram By Giving Motion To Static Photos
The app allows users to shoot and share images that move when they turn their smartphones from left to right.
There are already a lot of successful photo and video sharing apps out in the market today, so there's always a constant race to create similar apps that can stand out and offer something different or something more than the existing ones.
Moju Labs, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has come out with their own image sharing app that is somewhat of a cross between a photo app and a video app because it lets users create and share animated images.
The company's debut product, Moju, is an iPhone app that lets users shoot up to 24 individual frames of the same thing and turn them into a single image that moves when they twist their smartphone from side to side.
The design of the app's feed is very similar to Instagram or Vine, but instead of static photos or short video clips it lets users post and share hologram-like images or "Mojus." The animated images don't include any audio, making them easier and faster to load than typical video clips.
To create a Moju, the user just has to launch the app and take a series of up to 24 shots. They don't need to take 24 shots every time, just as many as they want in order to capture the moment. Users can take photos by pressing the button one at a time or by holding it down to take snapshots in Burst mode. They also don't need to take all the snapshots at the same time – they can space it out to create a time lapse. Users can also add Instagram-like filters to the photos.
The Moju app lets users capture moments in a new way since they can focus on facial expressions, body movements, or other types of motion and see them recreated in an animated image. The app features a new type of visual imagery that is more expressive than a photo, but simpler than a video.
Moju is available for free on the iOS app store.
Watch the clip below for a quick demo of how the app works.

Oh, come all ye faithful carolers
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | December 21. 2013 11:20PM
Doris Snow and daughter Miranda Hardfield enjoy the Christmas carols sung by carolers Friday night. Following a decade long tradition members of the Countryside Community Church congregation sing carols at the doorsteps of neighbors in the vicinity of the church in Contoocook as well as a visit to the village seniors apartment complex. Photo by Bob LaPree (Bob LaPree)
Blame it on the hectic pace of modern life, isolation from our neighbors, or competition from media and technology.
-Parker Academy students Alexis Ramsey of Farmington, from left, Ryan Wells of Bedford, Megan Lundquist of Bow and Ryan Bonta of Londonderry sing holiday tunes while caroling at the State House in Concord on Friday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
. And two local churches hope to fill the Milford Oval on Christmas Eve (Tuesday) for a traditional carol service at 6:30 p.m., followed by refreshments.
"Everyone's invited," Howard said. "I think it's just a very friendly, nice, calm, Christmas thing to do."
Donations asked
Howard said she sometimes still gets groups of neighbors who come caroling at her home near the park. "It just makes me weep," she said. "I love it. It's just so old-fashioned and neighborly and nice."
"We spend about an hour socializing, singing Christmas carols and trying to entertain them a little bit for the holidays," Ranalli said.
And on the way back, they stop along Central Avenue at local shops and restaurants - "any place that's open," she said. "They're shocked, but they love it."
Ranalli said caroling is a way to "share the story of Christmas and bring joy, simple joy."
Student involvement
A group of students from Parker Academy in Concord took time out from school work on two separate days last week to go caroling downtown.
"It's amazing how appreciative people were," said Paul Keiner, the English and history teacher who directs the chorus. "It's doing something as a community, and I think people appreciate that."
Parker said it also gives the students a chance to connect with their community. "Performance has a place in learning because you put yourself out there," he said. "And I think for our kids that's really important because you want them to feel safe and integrated in the community."
"We have a little party with them," she said. "They sing with us, and we bring in hot cocoa and cookies.
Bacon, who started caroling during her college years in Portland, Maine, said she's never missed a year - not even the year she was on crutches.
"It kind of makes the holiday because you get to share what the true meaning for the season is with folks," she said.
Bacon has done some research into the history of caroling and discovered it was traditionally done on Christmas Eve. "It started out with children doing it, and people would give them candy."
The group traditionally has modeled its event on "The Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols," which dates back to Christmas Eve in 1918 London, when the world was celebrating the end of the "Great War." There are traditional carols and Scripture readings.
Christine and Ed Munz have been caroling together since they were paired as singing partners in high school in Wisconsin. That was 45 years ago.
It's also a chance to slow down and share the Christmas spirit with neighbors, she said.

Bodmin College is a large, 11-18 Comprehensive School located on the edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. The school was designated a Specialist Science College in 2003 and went from strength to strength under the innovative leadership of Bob Mitchell until his retirement in August 2012. In 2010 it was rated as Outstanding by OFSTED. The current principal is Brett Elliott.
Bodmin College is a Specialist Science College with plans to create research and development opportunities for science students together with the introduction of new science based courses. The school offers personalised learning and individual staff support in a system where the student comes first.
Bodmin College is a new academy catering for boys and girls aged between 11 and 19 who live in an approximate 9 mile radius of Bodmin. There are generally about 1200 pupils between the ages of 11 and 16, and over 350 students in the 6th Form. The College has more than 100 teachers and part time lecturers supported by over 80 teaching assistants, clerical, technical, premises and refectory staff. The last decde has seen huge changes in the accommodation at the College with a continuous programme of new building and refurbishment. The main college site now comprises six main buildings, with additional accommodation at Woods Browning Industrial Estate 400m away.
The most recent work has included the extension of the Sixth Form Centre and the addition of a multifunctional lecture theatre/performance area to the Creativity building. This building is now probably one of the best in the South West with its custom built teaching studios, rehearsal/practice rooms and the latest sound, lighting and recording facilities. We are pleased to have the Greenfield Centre in the Bell Building which provides for children in North Cornwall who have severe learning difficulties. Our policy is to integrate these young people into as many College activities and courses as possible.
The College is currently focusing on developing diversity and flexibility within the 14-19 curriculum by constantly reviewing student needs against current provision. We have added some new and innovative options, which enables us to offer courses to suit all student abilities, on both academic and vocational style courses.
Bodmin College has a proven tradition of very strong and successful teaching, together with an excellent pastoral, guidance and advice system. We have high expectations for all our students, reflected by notable achievements year on year and our high retention figures at Sixth Form.

The process of creativity is shrouded in mystery and lore, but that doesn't mean that the teaching of creative writing has to remain in the dark. "Can It Really Be Taught?" shines a bright light on creative writing pedagogy, with a special focus on that hallmark of fiction and poetry classes everywhere - the workshop - in order to discover what works, what doesn't, and what is purely apocryphal. "Can It Really Be Taught? "offers a critical look at the pedagogical lore of creative writing that has been, up until now, accepted unquestioningly. Fifteen experienced teachers and researchers analyze long-accepted elements and theories of teaching creative writing, such as: workshop practices the canon of creative-writing craft books the criteria for grading (including the myth of the easy A) ways to use the mythologized presence of the writer in film. In examining these pedagogical practices and the thinking behind them, as well as the reasons for their popularity, "Can It Really Be Taught?" offers a range of best practices grounded in relevant theory and based on research, experience, and success. Teachers solely responsible for creative writing, along with faculty and graduate students from all of English, will find great value in the thought-provoking essays within "Can It Really Be Taught?" Let creativity have its mystery, but take the mystery out of teaching creative writing. Read "Can It Really Be Taught?" and join a new conversation on creative writing's fundamental importance to English studies.

Hello, I just joined Catster and I'm about to bring home two adorable Siamese kitten rescues. What breed are they?
Hello, I just joined Catser and I'm about to bring home two adorable Siamese kitten rescues. I have attached a photo of my new kittens. They will be ready to bring home any day. In your Siamese opinion, what type of Siamese do you think my kittens are? They are siblings and are about 5 weeks old. The little fuzzy one on the left is female and the lighter guy on the right is the male brother. I have read so many articles regarding types and breeds of Siamese, their chromosomes, their points, and so much more. I am still totally confused. One person calls these kitties chocolate point mix and another calls them seal point mix. May I have your opinion? Also, is it possible for a litter of kittens to have more than one type of Siamese from the litter?I had a lady tell me that my female (the fuzzy one on the left) is a seal point and the male on the right is a chocolate point. They are brother and sister from the same litter but I know nothing about their parents.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
They are probably mixes because they are not lean with thin faces like typical Siamese. They look choco point from the small pic but does it really matter? With no papers and lacking breed standard they are just pets that cannot compete in shows. Feed them well such as with MaxCat kitten food for their 1st year, and don't worry so much about what anyone thinks. You just got two furry friends... enjoy them because they don't stay small for long! ^_^ Also get them neutered and spayed BEFORE five months, or they will try to mate, even if related... ^_^
