President Obama paid tribute today to the thousands who died on 9/11 and their survivors, including a reading of Psalms 46 at the site where the World Trade Center once stood: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble -- therefore, we will not fear."
"The Lord of hosts is with us," Obama said in opening a solemn ceremony at the new Sept. 11 Memorial at Ground Zero. "The God of Jacob is our refuge."
The president and first lady Michelle Obama later laid wreaths at the two other attack sites -- the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., and an open field in Shanskville, Pa.
The Shanksville memorial honored the passengers and crew of United Flight 93 who died in a crash as they fought hijackers. After visiting the boulder that marks the actual crash, the Obamas spent about an hour with friends and relatives of the victims.
When several service members at Shanksville told the president it is "an honor to serve you, sir," Obama replied: "You make me proud every day."
"Take care, everyone," Obama told the crowd as he departed. "God bless you."
At the Pentagon, the president and Mrs. Obama spoke privately with families of 9/11 victims, survivors of the attack, combatant commanders, and members of Congress
Obama is scheduled to make public remarks on the 9/11 anniversary at a concert tonight in Washington, D.C.
In New York City, the president and Mrs. Obama joined former president George W. Bush and wife Laura, all holding hands as they walked along a wall etched with the names of those who died at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. Throughout the day, relatives and friends put pieces of paper over the names, and used pencils to sketch the names of their loved ones.
During the formal ceremony at Ground Zero, family members read the names of the fallen; Bush read from the letter President Abraham Lincoln sent to the mother who lost five sons in the American Civil War.
Chundera Epps, whose brother had been on the 98th floor of north tower when the plane struck, told reporters: "When it comes to family gatherings that's when the hurt comes in. The first Thanksgiving all we did was cry, we couldn't even eat."
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama was moved by the reading of the names of the victims, particularly by their children. Earnest said the president decided to read Psalm 46 -- the New King James Version -- because it "talks of persevering through very difficult challenges and emerging from those challenges stronger."
The president prepared for today's services on Saturday by visiting Arlington National Cemetery, volunteering at a Washington food bank, urging supporters to devote more time to public service -- and conducting a national security meeting about terrorist threats on this somber anniversary.
Obama "directed his team to pursue vigorously all threat information and to ensure a heightened state of vigilance and preparedness as we commemorate the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks," said a White House readout of Saturday's national security meeting.
"The president also stressed that the United States must not relax its counter-terrorism efforts in the weeks and months that follow, as the safety and security of the American people must be a daily priority for all departments and agencies," the White House added.
The president and first lady opened the day of tributes Sunday at the new September 11 Memorial, where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood.
The Obamas then journeyed to Shanksville, Pa., for a memorial ceremony honoring the passengers who died in the crash of United Flight 93 after fighting back against hijackers.
Later this afternoon, the Obamas will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon, also attacked 10 years ago today.
Obama wraps up the day with remarks during tonight's "Concert for Hope" at the Kennedy Center in Washington.
At Arlington cemetery on Saturday, the president and Mrs. Obama visited the graves of servicemembers. "On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the president believes that it is important for all Americans to honor those who have served since 9/11, to remember those lives we have lost, and to support their families," said a White House statement.
The Obamas and their daughters later visited DC Central Kitchen, which prepares and delivers more than 5,000 meals a day to homeless shelters, transitional homes, halfway houses and senior citizen centers. The visit highlighted the presidential declaration of Sept. 11 as a "National Day of Service and Remembrance."
As he scooped chicken sausage gumbo onto serving pans, Obama told reporters he wanted to "focus on the fact that outstanding programs like this and contributions of people all across the region is part of the spirit of remembering what 9/11 is all about -- the country being unified and looking out for one another."
In an e-mail Saturday, Obama urged supporters to honor the memory of those who died on 9/11, and U.S. troops fighting on the front lines. "But," he added, "I also hope you'll remember how the worst terrorist attack in American history brought out the best in the American people. "
"From giving blood, volunteering time, and donating clothing, food and money, in the weeks and months after the attacks, we were united as a nation, everyone doing their part to lend a hand and help the country move forward together," Obama said.
Here is Obama's full Pslam reading at this morning's ceremony:
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore, we will not fear,
even though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea.
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake
with its swelling,
there's a river
whose streams shall make glad
the City of God,
the holy place of the Tabernacle
of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her.
She shall not be moved.
God shall help her
just at the break of dawn.
The nations raged,
the kingdoms were moved.
He uttered his voice.
The earth melted.
The Lord of Hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.
Come behold the works of the Lord
who has made desolations in the Earth.
He makes wars cease
to the ends of the Earth.
He breaks the bough
and cuts the spear in two.
He burns the chariot in fire.
Be still and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations.
I will be exalted in the Earths.
The Lord of Hosts is with us.
The God of Jacob is our refuge.

H&R Block Inc (NYSE:HRB) provides tax preparation and related services to the general public in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The company just reported a great quarter, but the stock is still expensive at 38 times earnings. The company offers assisted income tax return preparation and related services through a system of retail offices operated directly by the company or by franchisees, and online tax services, including tax advice, professional and do-it-yourself tax return preparation, and electronic filing services through its website at hrblock.com.
The company also develops and markets H&R Block At Home, an income tax preparation software. It further provides refund anticipation checks, "Peace of Mind" guarantee, and "H&R Block Prepaid Emerald Mastercard" and "Emerald Advance" lines of credit, as well as credit card and cashback refund discount programs. In addition, it offers traditional banking services, such as checking and savings accounts, individual retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit. Recently, it has moved into the mobile world, developing tax apps the users can download. The most recent quarter, which contains the bulk of its tax season but not all, was quite good, but the stock is still pricey.
The company saw revenues increase 4.1 percent to $3.024 billion, driven by improved return mix and changes to the company's pricing strategy in its retail locations, digital tax software product enhancements and monetization efforts, and increased Tax Plus financial services product revenues. Returns prepared by and through H&R Block declined 2.6 percent to 24.2 million worldwide, primarily due to the company's decision to discontinue its U.S.-based free federal 1040EZ promotion in virtually all markets. Earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $1.81. On an adjusted non-GAAP basis, earnings per share from continuing operations increased 5.0 percent to $1.67.
The company's increase in revenues in fiscal 2014 was consistent with its recently outlined strategy to grow revenues through a balance of improved return mix and increased product attachments. This included the discontinuation of the company's free federal 1040EZ promotion in virtually all markets, the exit from unprofitable retail partnerships, and enhancements to its online digital tax software offering focused on improving monetization and conversion. Additionally, the company achieved EBITDA margin expansion, while continuing to invest in initiatives that contributed to improved client satisfaction and helped maintain retention levels for clients filing forms other than the 1040EZ.

CHESTER – Identifying deficiencies and devising a scope of work for the Edwards Mill Dam site has been a long process, but the town's dam engineer thinks he has a workable solution to tackle both the faults of the structure and the limited appetite taxpayers will likely have regarding payment for another dam project.
Shawn Patenaude of Dubois and King met with selectmen Steph Landau and Joseph Hagan at the board's scheduled Oct. 17 meeting to update the town on progress at Edwards Mill.
Though a quorum was not present at that meeting, the two selectmen present decided to listen to the night's scheduled guests regardless. Landau noted the importance of the three discussions on the agenda and said it made sense to continue with the meeting and not waste anyone's time. No decisions were made
Noting deficiencies within the dam's structure, the state dam bureau is looking to have the site addressed by Chester before any critical failing occurs. The structure is located off Raymond Road (Route 102).
Though initial discussions were to repair the dam in its current configuration, reinforcing walls with concrete, Patenaude said a better and more cost effective solution has been pursued and plans for that solution are 90 percent complete and ready to be sent to the state, pending town input.
Patenaude worked with Landau in recent months on the latest design, Landau informing the board of milestones within that project.
Through the years, various fixes and plans have been brought forward.
According to the dam engineer, the sticking point for the state is the cribbing on the downstream side of the structure. It was placed there in the mid 1980s when town volunteers came out to repair the dam. Plans were to pour concrete around it, but that phase of the project never occurred.
As time and water have taken their toll, that cribbing began to hold up the walls of the dam. The concern is that the cribbing needs to be taken out, but there's no telling how strong the dam still is or will continue to be when that reinforcement is pulled back. So when that material is removed, it will be necessary that the walls must already be buttressed with something else, and according to Patenaude, the walls must be higher than previously planned. That's a lot of expensive concrete – $40,000 of it at Patenaude's estimate.
Patenaude noted that given the cost restraints and future use of the dam, it didn't make sense to tackle the project with new, high concrete walls.
The new plan costs less and Patenaude said it will keep the area's appearance similar to what it is today. First, a large portion of the dam's downstream channel would be backfilled with local materials. Then two stonewalls extending across the flow of water would be constructed, one a headwall for two outlet pipes and the other a small wall across the channel at mid-height.
This would create a deep pool of water between the beginning and end of the dam, and water would course through the two existing outlet pipes, which would be extended 48 feet further downstream. The plan more or less creates two culverts for the water to pass through.
A sluice gate would be installed to allow flow control.
Patenaude, noting that grating would be installed over the structure, said the plan would also be a safer alternative to the 14-foot drop that currently exists between the top of the dam and the rocks below.
The current estimate for the project is $79,000. The estimate for the previous design is $119,000.
Initial estimates for the project came to about $50,000, but according to Patenaude, design considerations have resulted in the need for more concrete in the spillway, boosting the overall cost. Landau asked about safety considerations as well as ways to lower the cost for taxpayers. His two plans to do so seemed like nonstarters, however, as the job can't be reasonably segmented or phased and there aren't grants for this type of project.
Having previously appropriated money for the project through warrant article and in the budget, the town has about $57,000 currently set aside for the work.
In other business:
Representatives from Boston Systems presented the town with two proposals for improving the town's Information Technology (IT) infrastructure.
One proposal was to outfit the town with wireless capabilities, something board members had previously asked Boston Systems to bid on, noting the benefit it would be for visitors to the municipal building and multi-purpose room.
The other proposal would be to start the town on a four-year computer equipment replacement plan. This plan would have the town paying a set monthly fee and in return being outfitted with new computers for the town offices and a service plan for those computers.
Getting the town on a schedule for computer replacement has been tried before. Town clerk Barbara Gagnon, who is the point person for Boston Systems, said it would be a boon to the building and work efficiency if everyone had compatible, up-to-date computers. She noted that employees have had difficulty in the past accessing some files because of antiquated equipment.
No decision was made because of the lack of quorum.

How to Avoid a Trashed Umbrella Today
When it rains in the city, many New Yorkers seem caught off guard. They scramble to the nearest bodega or street vendor and buy one of those folding black umbrellas. That's a problem, says Peggy Levee, owner of the umbrella shop Rain or Shine in midtown. She says in heavy winds, like today, you need an umbrella with at least eight ribs. 'You're much better off with a full size, a stick umbrella, versus a folding umbrella. You definitely don't want a compact or mini umbrella,' Levee says.
As far as materials, wood and fiberglass are preferable to the cheaper aluminum umbrellas. 'Those are the ones you're going to see littered in the street by this evening,' Levee says.
She says department stores used to carry high-quality umbrellas. Nowadays, they're mostly relegated to men's shops or specialty stores.
Where did you buy your umbrella? Share your tips and stories below.

Your Guide to Insurance
An unfortunate lingering effect for many cancer survivors is difficulty with health insurers. If you already have health insurance, you may face reduced coverage options and higher rates after your cancer treatment. If you are uninsured, your past medical history could keep you from obtaining health insurance.
Research studies have found that survivors are much less likely to have health insurance, and are more likely to face difficulties in obtaining insurance than similar people without cancer in their past. Yet health insurance is essential for survivors who may need follow-up care, including care for late effects of their treatment.
Health insurance issues can vary with your age, your employer, and your past insurance record. Some claim denials stem from administrative errors, incorrect billing codes and errors on forms. Always check to see if any of those apply. If there is a more substantive reason for the denial, proceed through the internal appeals process, which can take time and energy but could be worth the hassle. Ask for patient navigation assistance or someone close to you for help.
If you still aren't getting the answer you want, you can move to the external medical review process, which is supposed to provide an independent review of your request. Many states have had external medical review for a number of years. Under health care reform, all states should now have an external appeals process. It can be worth going through the external appeal, since this decision is generally binding on the insurance company. For more information contact your state's insurance agency.
Johns Hopkins is on the case
Representatives from Johns Hopkins' Cancer Survivorship Programs have begun talking to several health insurer executives to discuss some of the issues and difficulties that need recognition. These include the need for cancer survivors, after their active treatment, to be covered for care related to lingering side effects, such as rehabilitation therapy for fatigue or psychotherapy services for depression or posttraumatic stress disorder. They also have suggested that nurses working as case managers for insurers take a more active role in the pre-certification process for patient treatment. This section will be updated as more information becomes available.
Resources to get insurance coverage or resolve disputes
If you already have insurance and are facing problems with your coverage, it's always a good idea to speak with your employer or insurer first to see what can be done to restore your coverage or lower your rates. If you have been denied coverage by health insurance companies due to your survivor status, or if you are have trouble resolving a dispute with your current insurer, the following nonprofit agencies might be able to help:
CancerCare offers a Reading Room with information on insurance for cancer survivors, and some financial assistance programs for survivors.
Patient Advocate Foundation can help survivors work with insurers and employers on coverage appeals and bill payments.
The Kaiser Family Foundation offers a free guide to handling insurance disputes with your health care plan or employer, including a checklist for understanding your coverage and the details of appealing a coverage decision.
The Cancer Legal Resource Center, a program of the Disability Rights Legal Center, offers free information and resources on cancer related legal issues for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and employers. You can contact them directly at 1-866-THE-CLRC or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Other resources:
Cancer and Careers has free charts available for download to track health insurance claims payments and interactions with health insurers.
The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship has a section on understanding your insurance.

OK guys, there are tons of themes out there and we all know that whichever theme you choose, there are always some icons that you need that are not included in that particular theme.
So, what I am doing is this...
1. Access selected theme icons using i-Funbox.
2. Copy an icon from this theme to desktop to use as a template.
3. Access missing icon from theme using i-Funbox and copy it to desktop as well. Example, the theme I am wanting to use does not include an icon for YPmobile so I have copied this icon from its application folder to my desktop.
4. Now I take the YPmobile icon, shrink it down a little and paste it into my template icon that I copied from the selected theme.
5. Using i-Funbox, i copy the new YPmobile icon into the theme and respring and voila, my new icon is there.
One problem, the new icon is showing the "white" corners around the black icon border. See included picture. WHY? How do I get the white corners to disappear?
Any help would be appreciated.

Home > National News > Article
Having fathered six children from two marriages, 75-year-old Alan Sykes is in search of the other half of his brood - six more children, born as a result of his sperm donations in the 1980s.
But Mr Sykes is frustrated by laws that protect the privacy of donor offspring.
Draft legislation in NSW aims to establish a register, so that people born from donor programs can find out the identity of their parents, once they turn 18.
However, no reciprocal rights are envisaged for donors, leaving parents such as Mr Sykes reliant on their own initiative to track them down.
When he was about to remarry in 1982, Mr Sykes approached the fertility clinic at Sydney's King George V Hospital to find out if he was able to father children. Not only was that possible, but workers at the clinic asked him if he would consider donating sperm.
He made six donations and did not think too much more about it until five years ago.
From details given to him by the clinic, Mr Sykes knows a woman used his sperm to have a son in 1984 and a daughter in 1987. Two women gave birth to daughters in 1983, while twin boys were born to a fourth woman, also in 1983.
"I'd love to meet them. My kids are so wonderful, these must be too," Mr Sykes said.
Sentimental reasons aside, Mr Sykes is also concerned about the prospect of what he calls "unconscious incest". "What if one of these children meets another donor offspring and they fall in love and want to get married?" he said.
Although experts in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), which includes donor insemination, say the statistical chance of that happening is remote, the rights of the donor and donors' offspring are very much on the agenda, with the National Health and Medical Research Council revising its ethical guidelines.
Bernadette Tobin, co-chair of the council's committee charged with revising the guidelines, said the committee would reinforce the right of children to know the identity of their biological parents. "But . . . the committee doesn't think the 'needs' of prospective donors mirror a child's entitlements," Dr Tobin said.
Legislation on ART is the responsibility of the states. In NSW, public submissions have just closed on draft legislation, expected to be tabled in Parliament later this year, which aims to set up the register for children to find their donor parents.
Other proposals include limiting the number of children conceived from one donor to 10.
Sandra Dill, executive director of the support and education group ACCESS Infertility Network, said the legislation protected the interests of the child, but allowed donors to make it known if they wish to be contacted. However, it would only apply to those who donated after the legislation came into force.
A voluntary register should also be set up, Ms Dill said, for those who donated before the enactment of the legislation.
Robert Jansen, the medical director at Sydney IVF, said any moves to allow donors access to identifying information about donor offspring would be too intrusive and not in the best interests of the child.
However, parents had a responsibility to inform their children born from donor insemination, Professor Jansen said.

Shannen W. Coffin
Shannen W. Coffin (born September 19, 1969)[1] is an attorney for the Washington, D.C. law firm Steptoe & Johnson LLP who until early November 2007[2] served as general counsel to American Vice President Dick Cheney.[3][4] Coffin was previously at the Department of Justice, where he served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Division. In that position, Coffin was responsible for oversight of the Federal Programs Branch, a component of the Civil Division that defends the federal government in a diverse array of lawsuits, including the defense of constitutional challenges to federal statutes and agency programs, civil anti-terrorism litigation, and disputes involving access to Executive Branch information.
Prior to joining the Justice Department, Coffin had worked for Steptoe & Johnson in its Supreme Court and appellate practice. He clerked for Judge David B. Sentelle on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in the 1994-1995 term.
Coffin came to national attention when his correspondence with U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont surfaced in regard to the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy that became public in August 2007.[5]
Coffin is married to Casey Coffin and has written articles for National Review's website[6] and publications for the Federalist Society.[7]
He grew up in Springhill in northernmost Webster Parish, Louisiana.

Any opinions would be appreciated, even if you haven't seen these, do they look legit?? or recommend a different site you guys have ordered from.
I have HID's from sharphid.com and im sorry but they suck, and even my subaru dealer master tech says they arent a very good brand, my right one doesnt turn on for DTRL ever, and wont always turn on when i turn the head lights on themselves, and there is nothing wrong with them either.
HELP!!!! lol
Get the s2k retrofit... hahaha. I think the website is [url=http://lightwerkz.net/prod_subaru.htm]Subaru Products & Services | LightWerkz.net[/url]. Check it out. I was interested in doing that but its like $600?

are the digital ones from that site good??
I don't really know. But the s2k retrofit is the one you want to do if you do a upgrade. How much do you want to spend? Just save up some money and get the s2k retrofit. That's what I learned about modding... Sometimes I can be impatient but if you wait, you will get the money eventually.
I dont really want to go through that whole process. Im just looking for bulbs and ballast trying to keep it under 250$. The 2k fit is clean and all, just not my thing
i want to convert all the green lights in the car into that redish orange
im so sick of green, but i dont know how comfortable i feel about shipping parts off to some place :[
i hate not knowing how to do stuff like that

Do you have the battery harness for your SharpHID kit? I had the same problem with my daytime running lights - one of mine never seemed to come on - but then I got the battery harness and that solved my problem. I have the Apexcone 35W 5000K kit and I like it. Which one do you have and why don't you like it? I'm just curious because I think this is the first time I've heard someone really bashing SharpHID.
same just 4300k and no I don't have the harness. Most of the time when only one works and I try turning it on and off they both turn off and won't turn back on unless I pull the ebrake LOL I dunno what's up but my dealer says they a bad company so I'm just gonna get new ones and try them out
Get the harness then. Why would you listen to the dealership? Like they're reputable on aftermarket parts...I dunno. I don't understand the logic here.
Man, I'm telling you, buy the battery harness and install it. I had the exact same problem you have and that solved it. It's not very expensive - $35 if you don't purchase it with a kit. It's extremely easy to install - you don't even need the directions, just look at the connections and you'll see how it works. You can even tuck it away nicely and zip tie it along your radiator support so you can barely see it. I think this is a much better option than buying a whole new HID kit.
And if the dealership is telling you they're a bad company, think again. Free shipping, lifetime warranty, easy installation, not terribly expensive... what's not to like?
[QUOTE=turmic;210229]Get the harness then. Why would you listen to the dealership? Like they're reputable on aftermarket parts...I dunno. I don't understand the logic here.[/QUOTE]
I trust the dealership, they know what they talking about, the one who inspected my car has his own performance shop and a 600+ hp sti. And why should I spend extra money to make them work? They should work fine without help. But, I'll give it a try. And one more question, how do I raise my headlight beam?
Sorry, if I came off like a d!ck. It was early in the morning. They should work fine on their own. But, the DRLs sometimes doesn't supply enough juice to power the ballasts. For whatever reason my wrx didn't need the battery harness. My hids always came on everytime i looked at them. I diffently knew they were on when i turned the DRLs off and the headlights on like normal. I had the SharpHid apexicone 6ks and they were bright. Probably brighter than my stock STI hids. Just my STI hids are a much cleaner beam pattern. Um, that one screw on the top...should be a adjustment screen to lower/raise the beam. I haven't looked at it lately to remember a more descriptive location or explanation for it. But, its there. I wouldn't raise it too much though...people use to high beam me all the time with my 6ks. Thinking i was using my high beams. Heh, it really use to tempt me to make the high beams hids....so, i could blind them back in return. lol ROFL
I agree, the HID kit should work perfectly right out of the box, but sometimes it requires a battery harness because the power supply to the lights is slightly restricted from the factory. I think I read somewhere that the reason is because some numbskull driver somewhere couldn't figure out the difference between daytime running lights and regular low beams and, as a result, there was an accident at night and a lawsuit and now car manufacturers have to slightly dim daytime running lights. They cut the power to them just enough so that when it starts getting dark, people should reailze they need to turn on their low beams so they can see.
To raise your headlight cutoff beam, there should be a small (10 mm?) bolt (I think they're plastic and clear/white?) behind each light. I remember it was sort of tight getting to them, but I was lucky enough to have access to a flat ratcheting wrench. Otherwise, I'd have to put a regular wrench on, twist a tiny bit, take it off, and repeat a whole bunch of times. Like turmic said though, be careful not to raise them up too high because I've gotten flashed a couple times now too. I don't think it's necessarily because they're too high - I have them just high enough so I illuminate the ground in front of me if the road is flat (before I adjusted them, it looked to me like the lights cut off 30-40 feet in front of the car and everything in front of that was dark). I think I get flashed occasionally because of the intense glare that's created by my headlight housings since they weren't intended for HIDs from the factory, but I can see great so that's all I really care about.
Oh ya, I'm not gonna raise them that much. They don't even go 50 ft infront of me

/// NBC Rules the Broadcast Roost, But CBS Has the Most Hit Shows
With five weeks of ratings data on the books, NBC remains entrenched as the No. 1 broadcast network, while CBS can lay claim to the lion's share of the top 20 shows. According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data for the period spanning Sept. 24-Oct. 27, NBC is lapping the field with an average prime-time rating of 2.8 in the 18-49 demo, up one-tenth of a point versus the year-ago period. Boosted by the World Series, runner-up Fox is flat with a 2.3 rating, while CBS is down two-tenths of a point with a 2.1. Last-place ABC is down a tenth to a 2.0 rating. As was the case a year ago, NBC's dominance is being fueled by Sunday Night Football, The Voice and the drama that leads out of the latter on Monday nights. The prime-time NFL showcase is the most-watched, highest-rated program on TV, averaging 21.7 million total viewers and an 8.4 in the dollar demo. Season-to-date, Sunday Night Football is up 3 percent in overall deliveries and flat in the demo. (If not for a brutal Oct. 27 Packers-Vikings game that delivered just 16.9 million viewers in head-to-head competition with Game 5 of the World Series, the SNF ratings likely would be up slightly.) CBS' The Big Bang Theory is the No.

1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
At higher mileages (125,000+) the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor may intermittently stop working, especially when the vehicle is fully warmed up. This can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly.
The Throttle Position Sensor can get out of adjustment due to wear in the throttle body or due to carbon build up. This will cause the idle timing to advance more than 30 degrees which will cause very high HC and NOx emissions. Conversely, the Throttle Position Sensors can wear out and not properly advance the timing which causes a lack of power and poor fuel economy.
The EGR System tends to get restricted or blocked with carbon after 100,000- 125,000 miles which will cause an emissions test failure for NOX. If the EGR system is equipped with an EGR temperature sensor it will trigger a Check Engine Light for improper EGR flow. The repair is to clean out the EGR passages and the EGR Temperature sensor. Our technicians tell this repair is pretty straight forward and takes about 1-1.5 hours. It is also wise to verify the EGR system components i.e. the Transducer, EGR Valve and VSV Solenoid at this time.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) may function erratically or illuminate the warning light due a damaged wheel speed sensor. A wheel bearing and/or CV joint with excessive runout can cause the ABS trigger rings to rub against the ABS sensors and damage them.
A transmission fault code of P0773 may occur at higher mileages which indicates that the 3-way lock-up solenoid has failed and will need replacement.
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
At higher mileages, an anti-lock brake system wheel speed sensor may wear out and illuminate the ABS warning light. It is recommended to replace the sensor with a factory part and be sure to clean all rust and debris from the mounting area because the mounting distance is critical. Failure to do so may result in the new sensor setting false trouble codes.
If the vehicle will not crank over, the most common problem is the starter, which tend to fail at about 100,00-125,000 miles. Sometimes it is only the starter solenoid contacts, but often the complete starter (including solenoid) needs to be replaced.
We recommend flushing the brake fluid every 60,000 miles because the fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system such as premature failure of the master cylinder or wheel cylinders.
Over the time the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system may become plugged with debris, the oxygen sensor may also be getting slow or 'lazy' around this time. When servicing or cleaning the EGR system, it is a good idea to replace the oxygen sensor because it works in tandem with the EGR system.
At 125,000-150,000 miles, the Brake Master Cylinder may need replacing. When replacing the master cylinder, it is critical to adjust the brake pedal to master cylinder pushrod clearance or the brakes can drag and overheat.
Occasionally, the mass air flow sensor can go lean and set a code P0170 for fuel system lean. This in not an oxygen sensor problem. If there are no vacuum leaks, the mass air flow sensor may need to be replaced. Our technicians remind us to use a factory part because the aftermarket rebuilds are very inconsistent.
At higher mileages (125,000+) the mass air flow sensor may cause the vehicle to idle rough, run rich and even stall. Our technicians recommended to replace the Mass Air Flow Sensor with a factory unit because the aftermarket units have very mixed results.

A Teenager Straps A Little Bitty Camera to Fireworks!
This could only come from the mind of a teenager. An adult would be too worried that their prized camera would get damaged, or that fireworks would hit someone's house and inspire a lawsuit. But teenagers are "free thinkers", shall we say. Here's an example:
This is a really intriguing idea – to see what it's like to BECOME the firework. (Is that a word? Is that what you call singular fireworks? Who knows, but you know what I mean)
According to the post on Newser.com:
19-year-old videographer Jeremiah Warren strapped a tiny spy camera onto a series of fireworks. The little 808 #11 camera miraculously survived multiple flights, and provided some pretty high-quality video—though it might make you a bit dizzy.
I could go on and on here with a description or brilliant analysis of the event, but I'm sure you'd tell me politely to shut up and play the video. So without further adieu:
I guess the camera made it thru multiple attempts, which is great advertisement for it, huh? Personally, I give him alot of credit. Whether his parents feel the same is questionable.
What has YOUR teenager done that was totally bizarre, but in the back of your mind you secretly thought was pretty darn inventive? Would love to know!

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, wife of the French president, was inspired by Barack Obama's victory and joined with other prominent figures to urge the French people to learn from the American experience. They issued a manifesto entitled: "Oui, nous pouvons," which means, "Yes, we can," taken from the Obama slogan. It is a call for an end to racism in France and a new birth of freedom from prejudice. "Our prejudices are insidious," says Mrs. Sarkozy, and the Obama victory highlights failure on the part of French people to address issues of prejudice in their society. The manifesto was written by Yazid Sabeg, a self made millionaire from Algeria, who believes Obama is very popular in France because his victory "testifies to the aspirations of all the children of France who are experiencing by proxy a recognition that France does not give them."
Mrs. Sarkozy said the election of Obama gave her "an immense joy." The world is basking in America's decision to end its historic denial of rights to African Americans. Although she was born in Italy, she now feels not only part of the French nation but part of the new world being created by the election of Obama.

Those on the right-wing (and indeed at the centre) like to speculate about things, often citing what they read in The Daily Mail and/or The Sun as reliable sources.
I've been saying these sorts of things for years: Asylum seekers get little over a fiver a day to live on; there is just as many people leaving this country as there is coming in; and there is no link between unemployment and immigration, so, no, they're not "taking all our jobs".
People need to get their facts right about immigration before they start scaremongering.
I urge everyone to do a little bit of research. Start with this: http://www.redpepper.org.uk/immigration-the-real-story/ (Isabelle Koksal)

Small writing area but very sturdy. I also bought copper ones that were very very thin. If these were twice as wide as they actually are they would be perfect, but there are no surprises. They look like the picture. At least one of the labels has a stain/defect - a light grey mark on it that will not come off. Not a deal-breaker.

Very sturdy, easy to write on with a pencil. The writing surface has enough space for several lines of normal-sized handwriting. The stake part is thick enough that it will not break even in tough, rocky dirt.

Cellular and molecular implications of mature adipocyte dedifferentiation. Journal of Genomics. 1:5-12. Interpretive Summary: Mature fat cells may revert back to a primitive state and become capable of dividing and forming apparent new fat cells. The potential impact of mature fat cell dedifferentiation to normal growth processes may change current ideas regarding postnatal stem cells, and may be useful in a variety of applications of tissue engineering.
Technical Abstract: When one looks at the voluminous amount of scientific literature dealing with the molecular regulation of carcass composition, obesity, metabolic syndrome, or diabetes a profound number of papers are printed each week regarding adipocyte involvement in each. To form adipocytes (process termed adipogenesis) nearly all scientific papers refer to the use of preadipocytes, adipofibroblasts, stromal vascular cells or adipogenic cell lines. However, mature adipocytes, themselves, possess ability to undergo dedifferentiation, form proliferative-competent progeny cells (the exact plasticity is unknown) and reinitiate formation of adipogenic cells. This contribution to normal growth processes, or to disease function, remains a mystery. Moreover, ability of progeny cells to form other cell types could turn-out to be important for processes of tissue reconstruction/engineering.

Salvatore Sirigu: "Wary of Toulouse"
Two days out from the clash with Toulouse, on Friday February 1, at 20:30 CET at the Stadium Municipal, the Paris Saint-Germain 'keeper discussed the upcoming clash with the press on Wednesday, and spoke of the clean-sheet record he set against Lille.
Salvatore, against Lille, you beat the record for the number of minutes played without conceding a goal by a Paris Saint-Germain 'keeper…
"I don't put too much emphasis on that. I think the praise should be directed to the whole team, and our defenders. It's the result of a lot of hard work. We play pretty attacking football, but being solid at the back is very important. Anyway, I don't go out on the pitch thinking about this record. I just think about giving my all for the team."
Have the changes in central defence - brought about by a string of injuries - bothered you?
It's not complicated for me because I know my teammates. I train with them every day and we prepare for the matches together. That's what makes us a solid side. No matter who it is who's playing, he knows what the work he needs to do is."
The team seemed very much in control in Decmeber... a little less so in January...
It's true that in December our play was more spectacular. Since the end of the winter break, we've been up against sides who have defended well. It;s much tougher to play against sides who defend well. It's also true that the break came just as we had really started to hit our straps."
After the wins over Bordeaux and Lille, do you think Paris Saint-Germain have gained some valuable experience?
"Perhaps, but those two matches were very different. We defended well in Bordeaux by blocking their flanks. We were well prepared even though it wasn't an easy match to play. Againsy Lille, it was different. We were luckier. In any case I hope that the experience we accumulated last season will hold us in good stead."
How are you approaching this clash with Toulouse?
"Well, it's an away game and the atmosphere is always pretty hostile down there. Toulouse are a side we know well. They can pose us problems because they have good players. They play some of the best attacking football in the league. We need to be wary of them, because they can be very dangerous in attack, with players who like to get into sapce and who can put us on the back foot."
With your good level of French, you seem to be making the transition from a new recruit to an old head. Do you think you're one of Paris Saint-Germain's symbols?
"There are other players who have been here longer than me. They are Paris Saint-Germain's history and continue to be important players for the team. I'm not a symbol, and we don't make distinctions between the older and the newer players. The fact that I speak French has led to my helping some of my teammates when they don't undertsand what's being said. It's no problem; I do it with pleasure."
What do you think of the standard of goalkeepers in France?
"There are ome very good keepers in this league, who always play well against us. But getting to the level of players like Lloris, Mandanda andCarrasso is difficult. Still, the others are very good and can still imrpove. For a goalkeeper, being consistent is very important. You can make mistakes, but you have to be able to bounce back."

The ice-bucket challenge that became a certified internet thing last week for those residing at the nexus of celebrity and sport stardom as well as for commoners has had the intended effect: It has resulted in "unprecedented" contributions to the ALS Association and putting a modern face on Lou Gehrig's disease.
The stunt, for those living under a rock, consists of having someone dump a bucket of ice water over one's head and then challenging someone else to do the same thing. That person can do so or contribute $100 to the ALS Association which is raising awareness of and funds for research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
After a week of viral videos of everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Ethel Kennedy to Justin Timberlake to Chris Pratt to Ronaldo (who used the occasion to also sell underwear) to LeBron James to Peyton Manning to the New England Patriots doing the stunt, the ALS Association announced Sunday that it has received $13.3 million, an increase from $1.7 million given over the saem period (July 29–Aug. 17) a year ago. That translates to 259,505 new donors, according to ALS Association President and CEO Barbara J. Newhouse.
"I know that many people are wondering what the ALS Association is going to do with these donations, and my answer is this: invest prudently in helping people with ALS and their families and caregivers in the battle against the disease, while resolutely pursuing all avenues to extend, improve and ultimately save lives," Newhouse said on the ALS Web site.
The progressive neurodegenerative disease, for which there is no cure, became widely known when it forced the retirement of Gehrig, the New York Yankees' Iron Man, 75 years ago in July. Gehrig's speech still resonates throughout baseball all these years later. Recently, battles against it waged by former NFL players Steve Gleason and O.J. Brigance have put new faces on the disease. Which brings us to the ice bucket challenge.
Its origins are most closely linked to Pete Frates, a former Boston College baseball player who can no longer speak, walk or move because of the disease. Frates, according to the Boston Globe, was diagnosed with the disease in 2012 and keeps a poster of Gehrig, who "inspires me every day," on his wall. Frates, who is expecting his first child next month, was profiled in the Globe:
He got the idea for the Ice Bucket Challenge from another young man who suffers from the disease, Patrick Quinn, who lives in Yonkers, N.Y. Frates and Quinn found each other online, and when Quinn comes to Boston for medical treatments, he stops and visits Frates, who started his own Challenge on July 29. It has since exploded on social media.
"Since Pete was diagnosed, he knew he was going to take part in changing the path of this disease," says his wife. "It's misunderstood — how quickly it progresses, how there's no cure, how we still don't know what causes it."
Ice Bucket Challenge from Team Gleason on Vimeo.
Frates, 29, is aware that a cure isn't likely to save him.
"I want the 100th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's speech to be a celebration of a courageous man who became the poster boy for a disease with a cure," he wrote (via the Globe), "not a cruel reminder of how nothing has changed in a century."

Parole office plan for downtown Providence faulted
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) _ A Providence businessman wants Gov. Lincoln Chafee to drop plans to relocate the state's probation and parole offices in downtown, saying doing so would create a ``government-mandated criminal convention center.''
CEO Angus Davis questions how businesses will stay in downtown and create high-paying jobs if, he says, the administration turns the area into ``a meeting place for violent offenders.''
The plan would transfer supervision of offenders on parole or probation from Urban League headquarters to vacant office space on Fountain Street.
The Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce also said Thursday the relocation would ``drive away'' tourists, consumers and workers.
Department of Administration Director Richard Licht says negotiations are continuing and the state tries to be a good neighbor.

Prior to its unveiling Lubov Azria, one half of the husband and wife design team behind the label, described the Herve Leger fall 2011 collection as glamazon, an armoured retake on the bandage dresses that the fashion house is known for. And she certainly wasn't wrong. Figure hugging as always, this wintery take on a well-established formula is something of a revitalisation of the warrior fashion trend.
While others have interpreted the warrior aesthetic as one of cuts and fabric, the latest Leger offering instead communicates its chosen glamazon appeal through adornment. Relying largely on a colour palette in shades of nude, black and white (with the nudes showing a subtle houndstooth pattern), Leger's adornment comes in the form of patent later, and silver and gold embellishments fused into each garment thus avoiding a change to the tight aesthetic the label is known for.
This fused embellishment is applied to all the collection's cuts, from it's short dresses to its floor length ones. The effect is eye catching, and precisely as Lubov Azria described it. Embellished with silver and gold rings that criss-cross the body, many of the pieces come across as a feminised take on medieval chain mail. Others still are so completely embellished that it's easy to overlook the sheer bandage dresses underneath and come away with the impression that you're looking solely at a dress made of ancient body armour.
Where pieces aren't encrusted with embellishment, fabric is woven like rope and stitched above the trademark bandage. When contrasted against the pieces embellished with gold and silver hardware its obvious that these roped pieces are less sumptuous, but the appeal is certainly still there and I feel, may actually last longer. These pieces aren't set apart form the collection, however. The rope motif feels very much a part of a glamazon story, while the exposed silver and gold zippers each dress feature ties the collection together.
Overall I walked away from Herve Leger's autumn (fall) / winter 2011 / 2012 collection feeling as if we'd seen it before. It's formulaic. It's tried. It's tested. And yet none of those facts will do this collection any damage as, when all is said and done, it delivers precisely what we want from the Herve Leger fashion house.
We'll have all our pictures online shortly and will update this article once we do.

cable box ?
i am going to be mounting a 32" tv on the wall. i need ideas for what to do with the cable box. there will nothing else on this wall. i am thinking i will recess it into the wall as much as i can. but i am interested in other ways to do it.
Put it in another location. Use either an RF remote or an IR repeater (receiver at the TV and line run to an emitter at the box). Recessing it into a custom box presents lots of problems, one being lack of ventilation. Another being size changes as boxes get replaced. Then there's electrical code issues with the inevitable screwing around with the wiring necessary to make the hack work. In short, move it elsewhere and use a repeater.
thanx, thats what i was looking for = ideas.
but, i got to thinking (yeah, i do that every now & then).
just how far off center will the box pick up the remote signal ? so, i pointed the remote at the box from above the box = it worked. it even worked if a ways behind the box.
so i am going to mount the box behind the tv, facing down and sticking out a little.
problem solved.
i'l post a pic when i get it working.
I'm assuming you have one of those boxes that does the channel selection for you? If that is the case, it pretty much has to be near the TV so it can pick up the remote.
Do you have other audio/video components? If so, put it with them....otherwise....you have to put it on a shelf near the TV.
Something to think about for the future.....you can get TV's that accept a cable card. Basically, it's a PCMIA card that replicates the functionality of your cable box....translation, you don't have to use the cable box.
If you really want to increase your options....build up a HTPC.....which is basically a PC based DVR. You can put the cable card in the PC and you now have total freedom of where you put the PC (the cable card comes with a remote remote)
i'm not doing all of thAt, no need. this tv is just for watching the news and whatnot.
i just put the remote completely behind the cable box. and it worked.
btw, i have yet to hang this tv. got other stuff going. but i will update when i do.
If you have room, you can mount the cable box behind the TV facing UP, and the IR signal from the remote will bounce off of the ceiling.
Yes, this does work.

Suzuki Canada unaffected by U.S. problems
Toronto Star
November 6, 2012
It remains business as usual for Suzuki in Canada despite a decision by its counterpart in the United States to discontinue auto sales and seek court protection from its creditors while it focuses on other products.
Suzuki Canada has no current plans to discontinue automobile sales in Canada nor are we contemplating any form of court-supervised restructuring as they have done in the United States, Suzuki Canada spokesman Bill Porter said in an interview Tuesday.
Porter said Suzuki Canada is emphasizing the fact that the two companies are not connected and that the news in the United States is not expected to have any impact on Suzukis Canadian operations.
Our sales are up over last year so its business as usual in Canada, thats the message weve given to our dealers and certainly to our customers as well. No change at all.

"In the midst of sunny anthems & beach parties, NeKo decides to shed light on the poetic realities of summer with his new summer themed album. Between odes to burnt out summer flings & heartfelt ballads to the moon, this project will definitely keep you enticed. TOJ is an eclectic album that shows incredible range and growth for NeKo, featuring talents such as rockband, Handsome Beast, Nadia, and a few newcomers (Angelo, Ced G) as well, and production from some of the hottest producers in Houston (@Trakksounds, @AlbieDickson, Ju Fresh). Executively produced by myself & Trakksounds Definitely a must listen for anyone who is a fan of creativity"Tweet
"Battlecry finds NeKo stepping out beyond the world he knows and crossing over into a different genre with Houston based rockband, Handsomebeast. The song finds NeKo pouring his heart all over the beat on touchy subjects such as police brutality against blacks, injustice & flaws in America's "system", and also questioning the humanity of his fellow Americans. As heard in the hook, "Never see me shed a tear but you'll hear my battlecry" sounds like the slogan of an oppressed man not yet ready to accept defeat. Produced by Trakksounds"Tweet
"2nd song released off of NeKo's upcoming summer themed EP, Tears of July. "Fireworks" finds NeKo expanding his range & catering to the female audience. With assistance from Varrie V, "Fireworks" details the story of a passionate affair that has lost it spark. Written entirely by NeKo & produced by Trakksounds, this melodic ode to summer love could find us all reminiscing on the one that got away."Tweet
Here's the first leak off Houston artist NeKo's next project "Tears Of July". This one is produced by Ju FreshTweet
"With what started as a poem, NeKo delivers a profound ode to the city of Houston. Written from first person perspectives of three very tangible characters, "Heaven, Hell & Houston's" compelling narratives shed light into some untouched cracks of the city streets. Relle B's angelic cry for mercy sets the tone for the religiously themed anthem, as NeKo plays narrator on the chorus, questioning the city's justness, declaring "Sometimes I can't tell if I'm in Heaven, Hell, or Houston"…Brace yourself. This may be a tearjerker."Tweet
This post is sticky'd to the top, check below for more new music all day!
Apollo 18, NeKo's debut EP, is inspired completely by the city of Houston. It displays "H-Town", but through a less glamorized perspective, unveiling depth in the process. Ingeniously, NeKo eludes the cliche style of Houston rap, while still keeping the culture alive. The project is produced entirely by Trakksounds & Albie Dickson with features from Rich Andruws, Relle B, Isaac Reid, & Shun Ward.Tweet
The homie NeKo sits down and breaks down some of the lyrics from his upcoming project "Apollo 18" which is completely produced by Trakksounds & Albie Dickson so you know its gonna ride. And it will be droppin right here on ThaFixx January 14th!Tweet
With vocal assistance from Rich Andruws, NeKo caters to the female audience with "Beyonce". Hiding behind catchy melodies and comical pick up lines, NeKo delivers a message that advocates female ambition, intelligence, & class. And he still manages to represent for H-town, while using none other than Houston's own Beyonce (or at least her characteristics) as the ideal that his future love interests should pursue.
"Beyonce" is produced by TrakkSounds & Albie Dickson
"Written & recorded over Drake's "Connect" instrumental, NeKo gives the people something to satisfy the cravings until he can release his official next single. "Swangin" puts a interesting spin on the original song with NeKo transforming it into an almost "venting" rendition. The song has us swerving on a journey through his "changing lanes" mind frame while recording his debut Apollo 18 EP. Listen, Enjoy, & Share"Tweet

Feed the Need donations up in 13
Collecting about 30 percent more donations than it did in 2012, the Feed the Need food drive gathered more than 10,000 pounds during its Oct. 12-13 event. That pushed the organizations total to more than 132,000 pounds donated to Newberg F.I.S.H. (Friends In Service to Humanity) and the Promise Pantry in Dundee since it began 10 years ago. It was a good response from the community, all the giving and volunteering, event coordinator Marshall Sperling said.

The 22-year-old - who mainly operates as a full-back - has been pulled out of the touring party despite spending the whole week training at the Irish training camp in Limerick.
And Kidney, who has called up Connacht's Gavin Duffy as a replacement, has rounded on the critics and defended his decision to pick both injured men in the preliminary squad.
"Keith has had to be withdrawn from the tour because the injury hasn't responded as much as we had hoped and he wouldn't have been able to play any games," said Kidney.
"There was a chance for both to fit, just like all injuries. You always live in hope in this job."
Ireland play their first test against New Zealand in New Plymouth on June 12 before moving on to Rotorua to face a New Zealand Maori side on June 18 before ending the tour against Australia in Brisbane on June 26.
