Originally aired on November 16, 1965.
Fifty years ago this week, the Rawhide episode was "Duel at Daybreak." In this one, Rowdy and the drovers are picking up 750 head of cattle from rancher Mason Woodruff. A young drover named Roman Bedford gets bullied by Woodruff's ranch foreman, Del Lingman. Bedford is embarrassed because this happened in front of Woodruff's pretty daughter Vicki, on whom he has a crush. Being a Southern gentleman, Bedford demands satisfaction by facing Lingman in a duel. But everyone knows the young man will be no match for the cold-blooded Lingman's skill with a pistol. On top of all that, Bedford appears to know something unpleasant about Woodruff's past.
Fifty years ago this week, the Rawhide episode was "Duel at Daybreak." In this one, Rowdy and the drovers are picking up 750 head of cattle from rancher Mason Woodruff. A young drover named Roman Bedford gets bullied by Woodruff's ranch foreman, Del Lingman. Bedford is embarrassed because this happened in front of Woodruff's pretty daughter Vicki, on whom he has a crush. Being a Southern gentleman, Bedford demands satisfaction by facing Lingman in a duel. But everyone knows the young man will be no match for the cold-blooded Lingman's skill with a pistol. On top of all that, Bedford appears to know something unpleasant about Woodruff's past.
The part of Lingman is convincingly played by Charles Bronson, making his only Rawhide appearance in this episode. Like Clint Eastwood, Bronson made a career out of playing squinty-eyed tough guys of few words.
Bronson was born Charles Dennis Buchinsky on November 3, 1921 in Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania. He was one of 15 children born to Lithuanians Walter and Mary Buchinsky. Walter was a immigrant, while Mary was born in Pennsylvania to immigrant parents. Charles' father Walter worked in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. He died when Charles was 10 years old. After becoming the first in his family to complete high school, it appeared that Charles would also spend his life laboring in the mines. Although Charles hated the perilous work, he often volunteered for the more dangerous jobs for the extra pay. He was once caught in a cave-in and almost died before he was rescued. For the rest of his life, he would suffer from claustrophobia.
Bronson escaped the mines by enlisting in the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943. During World War II, Bronson served as a gunner with the 61st Bombardment Squadron within the 39th Bombardment Group. He flew 25 combat missions, striking the Japanese islands. He received a Purple Heart for wounds he received during these missions.
After the war, he pursued an acting career by joining a theater group in Pennsylvania. He moved on to New York, where he shared an apartment with Jack Klugman, who was also an aspiring young actor at the time.
Bronson got married to Harriet Tendler in 1949 and the couple moved to Hollywood. They would have two children together. He used his G.I. Bill to take acting classes, and began appearing in movies in the early 1950s, often in uncredited roles. In 1954, at the advice of his agent, he changed his name to Bronson. At the time, the House Un-American Activities Committee was ferreting out actors with communist ties, and Bronson's agent worried that a name like Buchinsky might hinder the actor's career. Word is that the actor chose the name Bronson after the Bronson Gate at Paramount Studios.
After appearing in several TV shows, Bronson was cast in the lead role of his own series. Man With a Camera premiered in September 1958. The title pretty much explains the premise. Bronson played Mike Kovac, a World War II veteran and former combat photographer freelancing in New York City. At various times, Kovac worked for the police, private citizens or insurance companies and in so doing became somewhat of a private investigator. This got him into trouble with all kinds of villains, gangsters and other impolite people. To facilitate secrecy in his work, Kovac designed cameras that fit in a radio, cigarette lighter and even in his necktie. And -- get this -- he even had a phone in his car. I realize that these days everybody's got a phone in their pocket that takes pictures, but in the 1950s this was happenin' stuff! Man With a Camera ran for two seasons and then I guess he ran out of film. It would be Bronson's only lead role in a TV series.
The year 1958 was good to Bronson, not only did he have Man With a Camera going on, but he was also cast in the lead role of a movie, Machine-Gun Kelly. Later that same year, Bronson was the main character in a World War II movie entitled When Hell Broke Loose.
Bronson's career gained more traction in the 1960 movie The Magnificent Seven. Director John Sturges cast Bronson as Bernardo O'Reilly, an Irish-Mexican, and the film became a classic. In 1962, Bronson appeared in the Elvis Presley vehicle Kid Galahad as the young boxer's trainer.
Director John Sturges liked Bronson well enough that he also cast him in the 1963 epic film The Great Escape. In that movie, Bronson played Danny Velinski, a Polish prisoner of war during World War II. The character of Velinski is nicknamed "the Tunnel King" by his fellow prisoners, despite having claustrophobia down in the tunnel. As I mentioned, in real life Bronson was claustrophobic. Although the "tunnel" in the film was a cutaway set, Bronson was eager to get out of it once the cameras stopped.
In 1967, Bronson's marriage ended in divorce. The following year, he married Jill Ireland, former wife of David McCallum. The two would have one child together and adopt another. Their marriage ended with her death from breast cancer in 1990.
Bronson had another memorable role in The Dirty Dozen (1967). As y'all probably know, the movie is about 12 condemned military prisoners who are offered parole in exchange for volunteering for a dangerous mission. This time, Bronson played a character named Joseph Wladislaw. Like Bronson, Wladislaw was a former coal miner who was recruited for the mission because he could speak German. In real life, Bronson was fluent in Lithuanian and Russian.
Like Clint Eastwood, Bronson made some popular European films. In fact, director Sergio Leone wanted to cast Bronson as the Man With No Name in Fistful of Dollars (1964) but Bronson declined. Leone would get to direct Bronson later, however, in the 1968 movie Once Upon a Time in the West. Leone would later say that Bronson was "the greatest actor I ever worked with." Sorry, Clint.
Bronson played a farmer fighting back against gangsters in Mr. Majestyk, released in 1974.
That same year, at the age of 52, that Bronson would be cast in his most famous role. In the 1974 movie Death Wish, he played Paul Kersey, an architect who violently seeks vengeance on some hoodlums after his wife is murdered and his daughter is sexually assaulted. The premise was so popular that four sequels followed, the last being Death Wish V in 1994. That would be his final theatrical film role. His last onscreen role was the TV movie Family of Cops III: Under Suspicion.
Bronson married Kim Weeks in December of 1998, and the two remained married until his death. After hip replacement surgery that year, Bronson retired from acting. He suffered from Alzheimer's disease and died of pneumonia on August 30, 2003 in Los Angeles. He was 81.
We'll see British actress Jill Haworth as Vicki Woodruff. Her name is pronounced HAH-worth, not HAY-worth, though she eventually accepted the fact that most folks would mispronounce her name. She was born August 15, 1945 in Sussex, England. She was named Valerie Jill to commemorate the day she was born, V.J. Day, 1945.
Director Otto Preminger chose to cast her after seeing her photo from acting school. He gave her the part of Karen in the 1960 movie Exodus.
I thought this was cool: While reminiscing about filming this episode of Rawhide, she said she just "adored" Charles Bronson. Clint Eastwood, on the other hand, treated her rather coldly and barely spoke to her off camera. Filming this episode also endangered her health. In one scene, the horses pulling the buggy she was in suddenly bolted. She jumped out of the buggy, injuring her back. Later, she caught pneumonia after having to stand in water for six hours, filming retakes.
In 1972, Haworth had a successful run on Broadway in Cabaret, while wearing a brunette wig.
She passed away unexpectedly on January 3, 2011 in New York City. She was 65.

Simple strategies to start generating quality leads through the social stream.
Social media marketing offers endless opportunities for lead generation. Businesses are increasingly using social media to connect with their customers, avert crises and build reputation. Lead generation is a natural outgrowth of this activity.

New Yorker Dorothy Day Takes Another Step Toward Sainthood
"Don't call me a saint. I don't want to be dismissed so easily."
That's what Dorothy Day, founder of The Catholic Worker newspaper and social justice movement, famously said about herself before her death at age 83 in 1980. Yet a big step was recently taken toward that end when the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops endorsed her cause after Cardinal Dolan of New York called her "a saint for our time." Dolan said Day deserved the honor for having outgrown her wild youth to devote herself to serving the poor for 50 years.
The issue of her sainthood is controversial among both her supporters and detractors.
Some Catholic Workers worry that sainthood would dilute her message and overly emphasize how she reformed her life after having an abortion. After all, that's the part of Day's story that the cardinal, and many of his fellow bishops, prefers to emphasize. Catholic conservatives also endorse Day's embrace of traditional Catholic teaching on sexual ethics and an all-male priesthood.
Liberal Catholics prefer stories about how, during New York City's first nuclear air raid drill in 1957, Day and other pacifists gathered in Union Square Park to protest what they felt was an absurdity: hiding in a basement to survive an atom bomb. Not for the first time, she was arrested.
The pope has already named Day a ''Servant of God.'' If the Vatican can certify to its satisfaction that she lived an exemplary life of faith and was the cause of two miracles, she would then be beatified. That process can take decades.
Until then, the arguments will continue about the meaning of her "don't call me a saint" quote. Some take her sentiment literally. Others say her point was to emphasize that anyone, not just a saint, could do what she did. She contended that it falls to all of us to delve into what she called the mystery of poverty. "By sharing in it, by making ourselves poor in giving to others, we increase our knowledge of and belief in love," she said.
By some estimates, there are over 10,000 Catholic saints. America has twelve saints; remarkably, seven of them are New Yorkers.
Jim O'Grady is a WNYC reporter and the author of Dorothy Day: With Love for the Poor, a biography.

But Grosjean took that away from me. Very disappointed in him, he's following in the footsteps of Petrov. I can only hope the next race holds better promise for Kamui, because he should be threatening for a podium finish, not fighting midpack. 15 agree 2 disagree

Week 5 Tuesday
Today will be a project work day with your advanced student mentors. You might consider reviewing the project organizer or the requirements for the 3 ideas presentation or the student resources list. There is no lecture log required for today but you should update your project development notebook, electronically if you're keeping it that way, or on paper if that's your preferred style. Your 3 ideas presentation will be one week from tomorrow.
Homework for Thursday
Read the chapter you were given written by Charles Weiner that was photocopied from the "Encyclopedia of Ethical, Legal, and Policy Issues in Biotechnology." The chapter serves three important purposes for our class. First, it provides some context for the upcoming video presentation of the 1974 Cambridge City Council Hearings. These hearings enabled the citizens of Cambridge to directly address the scientists themselves and question the intent and efficacy of national safety guidelines for recombinant DNA work. The video was made and made available to us by Charles Weiner and it will be shown on Thursday in class. Second, this chapter will give some timeline for the development of the technology itself as well as for the meetings and hearings that addressed its hazards. Finally, this chapter gives some insight into the polarizing viewpoints and biases inherent in many of the discussions associated with these issues.
There are three short parts to this assignment and you should spend no more than 1 hour reading the chapter and answering these questions.
- Part 1: What is recombinant DNA?
- Part 2: Key events for regulation of experiments involving recombinant DNA
Concisely describe the relevance/importance of
- 1973 Gordon Conference
- 1974 Berg letters in Nature and Science
- 1975 Conference in Asilomar
- Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee
All of these are described in Charles Weiner's chapter that you were given.
- Part 3: Public scrutiny of and say in research decisions
Consider these three quotes and then
- give your idea(s) about how to best engage the public in the scientific enterprise
- comment on one author's viewpoint or agenda, as best you can glean from the short quote
- and finally say if you think the publication was an appropriate places to express that author's viewpoint
Quote 1: from pg 910 of Encyclopedia chapter (above) "The motive from the start was to avoid public interference and to demonstrate that the scientists on their own could protect laboratory workers, the public and the environment."
Quote 2: from Open Letter to the Asilomar Conference written by Science for the People "There is little evidence that the technologies being discussed at this meeting arise from social or medical needs of large segments of the population. Rather, they represent specialized interests including those of the scientific community itself."
Quote 3: from Summary Statement of the Asilomar Conference written by Paul Berg et al and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science "In the longer term, serious problems may arise in the large scale application of this methodology in industry, medicine and agriculture. But it was also recognized that further research and experience may show that many of the potential biohazards are less serious and/or less probable than we now suspect."
Upload your answers to the following questions into your personal design portfolios that are here
Week 5 Studio
Today will be a second project work day with your advanced student mentors. You should organize your progress and task list and thinking in your project development notebook, be it electronic or on paper, depending on your preferred style. Your 3 ideas presentation will be one week from today.
For one hour, the advanced students will discuss a journal article. You are welcome to listen to that presentation/discussion or continue to work independently.
Week 5 Thursday
Challenge: Scientist, Activist
Homework for Tuesday
Read the photocopied handout from Jon Beckwith's book, "Making Genes Making Waves."
This chapter was chosen for you to read because it includes several important lessons drawn from the author's personal history and his career development. The chapter also includes some important scientific content about bacteriophage and E. coli's lac operon. Near the conclusion, it presents a rare, first-hand account of an emerging technology, namely direct gene manipulation, that was immediately recognized for its pioneering and frightening possibilities. As described in this chapter, Jon Beckwith's scientific work enabled the lacZ gene from E. coli to be purified, making the ability to purify any gene from E. coli seem close at hand. A future in which genes from any kind of cell (prokaryote or eukaryote, e.g. human) might be moved at will from one cell to another was suddenly more realistic than it had ever been.
Spend ~ 1 hour reading the chapter and answering the following questions:
- From pages 16-28: Find 1 sentence related to Professor Beckwith's development as a scientist that struck you for its relevance, its surprising nature, its humor, etc. Give the quote and explain its relevance to you.
- From page 28-end: In plain language describe what is being shown in
- figure 1 panel A
- figure 1 panel C
- figure 1 panel E.
- figure 2, top and bottom of image where there are squiggles
- figure 2, middle where there is one thicker line. Be sure to say why the line is thicker.
- figure 2 vs figure 3. What has been done to the material in figure 2 to make it appear as it does in figure 3.
- From page 36: Comment on the quote, "We have no right to pat ourselves on the back." For example think about:
- Why was it said?
- Do you agree with the thought?
- Would you have said it?
- Is there some emerging technology you are imagining this century might similarly "hold dangers for humanity."
- Finally, is your thinking affected by the public reaction to the comment ("newspaper headlines warned of the imminent creation of new Frankenstein's monsters.")?

oops, nutrition in ones diet.
Thanks for linking your great post to FAT TUESDAY. This was very interesting! Hope to see you next week!
Be sure to visit RealFoodForager.com on Sunday for Sunday Snippets – your post from Fat Tuesday may be featured there!
Funny to find this today. My daughter has progressive MS, and sent me the same video this week.
My friend was diagnosed with MS and she does not seem to improve with medication. Thank you for sharing your research.
I think that no matter what health problem you've got, even if the root of the problem isn't diet, but feeding your body well, you give your body the best chance to fight the problem.

Which ending did you pick? *SPOILERS*
Which ending did you pick?
I am also seriously pissed that they didn't put a checkpoint before the last mission so I could see both endings without playing through twice.
I chose the good ending. To me, the result of most of the missions was taking revenge for what was done to the protagonist and his friends, and saving the latter. Didn't feel right to have that be wasted in becoming the ultimate island gringo warrior.
Didn't trust the tribe so I saved my friends (even though I wouldn't have been able to save friends without their help).
Looked up the "evil" ending online and like it much better
I chose the Citra ending and it was very hilarious! First person sex with Citra while she chanted her tribal rituals was very creepy....and sexy! :p
Though I am not used to be stabbed immediately after sex. Ah well, there's a first and last time for everything! :woop:
Good ending. Not because I had any concern for Jason's friends, I just got tired of Citra and the tribe bullshit... And Dennis. I wanted to stab Dennis long before the end of the game.
I picked the good ending Citra seemed to be just as crazy as Vaas and a lot less entertaining.
I thought I was gonna stay, but I didn't have the right to kill Liza so I saved my friends.
At first I chose join Citra. Then immediately regretted it. Replayed the whole game to pick the right ending this time, saving my friends.
That bitch Citra, she loves you if you stay her warrior and throw away your past, your friends. The whole point of the game was to save them. I'm not about to kill my friends and stay with some crazy tribe who just wants to kill me to worship me. No thanks lol.
I chose to save my friends. Going to look up the other ending now.. Great game!
Chose the Citra ending.
Glad she killed me though. I wasn't going to pay child support to that crazy woman.
Thinking of it from Jason's perspective the thought of hearing Citra's accent combined with Decapitation of Giants mumbo-jumbo didn't seem like something I'd want to endure for the rest of my life. Saved the friends.
Smooth move Dennis, smooth move.
Agree with Direkin: if we had to design games around that reasoning we wouldn't even have Pac-Man. After all, you wouldn't want to eat ghosts in real life? Or even Monopoly: don't want to teach our kids that it's OK to go to jail & bribe your way out regularly, now would we?
Sometimes a lack of imagination + PC-brigade-gone-mad == a rather dull life.
It's a game. If a person feels that it profoundly influences their life then they're probably too young / immature to play it in the first place. That's why there's age ratings on games.
And it's not the game's fault, or the "government"s fault if parents allow their underaged kids to play this. That's the parent's fault.
Gee thanks for telling me I had the right guys lol. I was in the mindset of Jason when I wrote my statement so I meant he didn't have the right to kill his gf/ex-gf and his friends.
Sorry I walked away. You'll have to play with someone else.
I chose the good ending, killing your friends after everything you been through seemed abit silly even tho citra is one hot hoe lol
Youtubed for the bad ending......
Dennis really got on my nerves near the end, was expecting to have to kill him since he seemed very jelly specially when he was drunk rambling on about how much he loved citra n that i didnt respect her etc.
Thought he may double cross me..... Which he kinda does, just messes it up lol
I chose the "good" ending initially, just coulndn't force myself to slice Lisa's throat...
Then my curiosity won, and I replayed the last missions to see the "bad" ending. Wow. It's bloody brilliant, but it's not the one I want, lol
But, I'd love to see a third option. In this one, you could say to Citra just before dying; "Citra, I have AIDS..."
I choosed to save them, she kinda turned into an incredible b*tch at the end, oh well maybe it´s because primitive monkeys those rakyads were anyway (except Denis, he was really cool).
Lol, I should try just in case, one never knows!
I picked the staying with Citra ending.
The reason? It is the most realistic from Jasons perspective, in my eyes. Obviously earlier posters disagree.
You say all missions are about saving your friends. Your wrong. About 33% through, citra asks...what do you want. Jason replies, to save my friends. Your lying, citrq says. What do you want. To kill vaas and Hoyt.
Jason changes throughout the game, from a wimp wanting to save his friends and escape, to someone who has lost his mind and is consumed by hatred and revenge. The game is about the road to insanity, not redemption.
just the way I saw it. I believe Jason would of done anything to stay with citra and the island. Not because he loves either neccsarily, but because the island has consumed him.
Even if it meant sacrificing his friends.
The good ending would of made sense, if you took the whole insanity storyline out, but with it, it just doesn't.
In some ways I did not like that there was a choice at all. You are never given a choice at any other point in the game. I would prefer the developers to just tell the story they want. My reasoning is this. The game tried to make you feel like you were "changing" into a different person but they fail to go all the way. Once you decide to stay they needed to just go fully down that rabbit hole and have the 2nd half been full on screwed up. When they put Riley into the mix and saving him this completely screws the choice part at the end. Why would you not save your friend when you spent the last 3rd of the game planning on a way to save your brother? It makes no sense. NOW if they eliminate the brother part and go full on psycho for the last half then that choice becomes less clear but I think they should have just eliminated that choice and gone with the Citra killing you ending. That is the perfect ending and the other ending is the cop out (even though it was what I chose).

Kim K 'will honeymoon with trainer'
Kim Kardashian has allegedly invited her personal trainer to join her and Kanye West on their honeymoon.
The TV star is weeks away from marrying fiancé Kanye West, with much speculation about her pre-wedding diet and exercise regime.
Sources say Kim will do anything to look perfect on her big day, and she's been working hard to achieve her ideal body for the May 24 nuptials. But the star is apparently so scared she'll pile the pounds back on that she's asked celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson to join her and Kanye as they honeymoon in Hawaii.
"Kim has paid for Gunnar to come along so she can work out while she's away on her honeymoon," an insider revealed to British newspaper Daily Star.
"Kim doesn't feel happy when Gunnar's not around as she loses her willpower so quickly. She doesn't want to undo all her hard work and pile on the pounds on the honeymoon."
Kim gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter North, in June last year. Thanks to the Atkins diet and an intense exercise regime, 33-year-old Kim quickly dropped her pregnancy weight.
Kanye is said to be supportive of Kim's decision to bring Gunnar, who also trains Kim's sister Khloé, along on their honeymoon, though North will be left home so the parents can enjoy some time alone as a married couple.
"Kanye totally gets it, he's completely supportive of Kim's efforts to lose the baby weight and get in shape for the wedding," the source added. "North will stay with Kim's family and her nanny."
"Kim and Kanye want time away from parental duties as it's important for them to spend time alone as a couple."

Thank you for your interest in PredictionMachine.com's fantasy football analysis and projections. Not only is the Predictalator great at projecting entire seasons and aiding with fantasy drafts, it's actually even better at answering who to start and who to sit questions based on simulating each game each week 50,000 times.
1. Drew Brees 29.0 FPs (NO vs. ATL) – With Aaron Rodgers on a bye this week, Drew Brees takes over as the top fantasy play of the week in one of two teams where the combined point total is projected to exceed 48 – and it tops 57 in our projections. Rest of Season Fantasy Rank: #1 Overall/#1 QB
2. Tom Brady 27.5 FPs (NE vs. BUF) – The other high scoring shootout from Sunday (52 projected points) is a one-sided matchup featuring Brady's Patriots, who scored 52 points on their own against Buffalo in Buffalo earlier in the season. ROS Fantasy Rank: #6 Overall/#6 QB
3. Matt Ryan 26.3 FPs (ATL @ NO) – Matt Ryan has been tremendous this season and will be taking on a historically bad defense in New Orleans (and indoors, on turf where the Falcons are best). ROS Fantasy Ranking: #2 QB
Breakout Candidate: Joe Flacco 20.5 FPs (BAL vs. OAK) – Flacco has not topped 250 yards passing since September 27, but he is still on pace to throw for about 4,000 yards and is a great bet for 250+ this week against the Raiders #29 ranked defense. ROS Fantasy Rank: #19 QB
Must Avoid: Jay Cutler 15.8 FPS (CHI vs. HOU) – The Houston Texans have a tremendous pass rush to go with a top three pass defense. Without Alshon Jeffery likely in the game Sunday night, expect Brandon Marshall to be double teamed on just about every play and for Cutler to struggle finding other receivers under pressure. ROS Fantasy Rank: #24 QB
Running Backs
1. Adrian Peterson 18.6 FPs (MIN vs. DET) – It may not be in a winning effort, but Peterson should lead the league in rushing for a team that will likely be without Percy Harvin this week and lacks a consistent passing game. Peterson has topped 100 total yards in seven consecutive games and is coming off of a 193 yards effort in a ten point loss at Seattle. ROS Fantasy Rank: #8 RB
2. Ray Rice 18.1 FPs (BAL vs. OAK) – Rice is playing against the same porous Raiders' defense referenced above and accounts for 68% of his team's rushing effort and 16% of its receiving numbers. ROS Fantasy Rank: #2 RB
3. Arian Foster 17.3 FPs (HOU vs. CHI) – Foster may not be as active in the passing game this season as in previous years, but his 24 carries-per-game average still gives him incredible value – especially with backup Ben Tate likely out again this week. ROS Fantasy Rank: #6 RB
Breakout Candidate: Marcel Reece 9.6 FPs (OAK @ BAL) – Reece, the normal starting fullback in the Raiders' offense is the most likely running back to lead the team in touches this week in the wake of high ankle sprain injuries to Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson. He literally has just one carry on the season, but Reece has 234 yards rushing on 47 career carries (5.0 yards-per-carry) and has already been targeted 34 times for 26 catches and 272 receiving yards on the season. Taiwan Jones will likely start at tailback, but is little more than a home run threat with fumbling issues. Rest of Season: #20 RB (assuming McFadden and Goodson each miss the next four weeks).
Must Avoid: Mikel Leshoure 9.6 FPs (DET @ MIN) – With the same projected points as Reece, Leshoure is not technically a "must" avoid, but, at #24 in our RB rankings, he is not a must start. Last week's three rushing TDs were certainly nice, yet not to be expected again – especially with Joique Bell receiving the same number of touches (20) as Leshoure and putting up more yards in the process. Bell is as good of an option to put on the roster. ROS Fantasy Rank: #24 RB
Wide Receiver
1. Mike Wallace 14.4 FPs (PIT vs. KC) – Going up against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night, the Steelers have the #4 QB, #4 and #38 RB, the #1 and #24 WR, the #3 TE and the #1 Defense this week. Start your Steelers. ROS Fantasy Rank: #16 WR
2. Marques Colston 14.1 FPs (NO vs. ATL) – Colston broke a streak of four straight games with double digit targets on Monday night, yet still had 14.6 PPR fantasy points and figures to remain a critical part of the Saints' passing attack with Darren Sproles sidelined. ROS Fantasy Rank: #2 WR
3. Brandon Marshall 14.0 FPs (CHI vs. HOU) – As good as the defense is that he is facing and as much of a focus as he will draw from that defense, it would be impossible to bench a player receiving 37% of his team's targets (6% higher than any other player and it is over 40% with Jeffery injured). ROS Fantasy Rank: #8 WR
Breakout Candidate: Jerome Simpson 8.5 FPs (MIN vs. DET) – Simpson has just four catches in the last three games (and eight on the season), yet figures to step up in a big way in place of Percy Harvin and against a battered secondary for Detroit. At #28 for the week, Simpson is not a slam dunk to start, but is a high ceiling player for the week who can be found on most waiver wires. ROS: #64 Overall/#14 WR.
Must Avoid: Stevie Johnson 7.3 FPs (BUF @ HOU) – Buffalo has become one of the first run-focused offenses in the league – which is probably best for the Bills this week going up against Houston's top rated pass defense. ROS Fantasy Rank: #65 WR
Tight End
1. Rob Gronkowski 13.7 FPs (NE vs. BUR) ROS Fantasy Rank: # 2TE
2. Jimmy Graham 13.2 FPs (NO vs. ATL) ROS Fantasy Rank: #1 TE
3. Heath Miller 12.1 FPs (PIT vs. KC) ROS Fantasy Rank: #6 TE
Breakout Candidate: Anthony Fasano 6.9 FPs (MIA vs. TEN) ROS Fantasy Rank: #13 TE
Must Avoid: Brandon Pettigrew 5.6 FPs (DET @ MIN) ROS Fantasy Rank: #19 TE
1. Matt Bryant 10.7 FPs (ATL @ NO) ROS Fantasy Rank: #1 K
2. Stephen Gostkowski 10.3 FPs (NE vs. BUF) ROS Fantasy Rank: #5 K
3. Shuan Suisham 9.7 FPs (PIT vs. KC) ROS Fantasy Rank: #6 K
Breakout Candidate: Dan Bailey 8.9 FPs (DAL @ PHI) ROS Fantasy Rank: #2 K
Must Avoid: Robbie Gould 6.0 FPs (CHI vs. HOU) ROS Fantasy Rank: #27 K
1. Pittsburgh Steelers 15.0 FPs (PIT vs. KC) ROS Fantasy Rank: #4 DEF
2. San Francisco 49ers 15.0 FPs (SF vs. STL) ROS Fantasy Rank: #3 DEF
3. Seattle Seahawks 12.8 FPs (SEA vs. NYJ) ROS Fantasy Rank: #6 DEF
Breakout Candidate: Dallas Cowboys 8.3 FPS (DET @ JAC) ROS Fantasy Rank: #15 DEF
Must Avoid: San Diego Chargers 3.4 FPs (SD @ TB) ROS Fantasy Rank: #8 DEF
Injuries to Watch
1. Darren Sproles Unlike this time last week, we know that Darren Sproles will be missing some significant time with a broken hand. The curious part is what the Saints do with the running back position. On Monday night against the Eagles, New Orleans distributed running back touches in this way: Chris Ivory 11 (for 50 yards and one TD), Mark Ingram 9 (for 67 yards) and Pierre Thomas 8 (for 70 yards). Thomas is more of a focal point in the passing game and I think would have seen any more touches if the team had been playing from behind (as we expect to happen this week in a shootout with Atlanta). We currently have Thomas as a top 20 RB play regardless of the format, with Ingram and Ivory in the 30-40 range for the week. I would be comfortable starting Thomas and only playing one of the others in a desperate situation or in a league heavily weighted towards TDs.
2. Percy Harvin Doubtful with an ankle injury, Harvin does not look like he is going to play against Detroit on Sunday. If he does not, Adrian Peterson, Jerome Simpson, Michael Jenkins and Kyle Rudolph each get a boost (as seen in our projections), with all of them being startable. If he does suit up, he is enough of a focal point of the offense to trust in your lineup. Furthermore, the only player I just referenced besides Harvin that would be startable with Percy in the lineup is Adrian Peterson (who is a top five RB either way).
3. Darren McFadden/Mike Goodson As referenced above, Marcel Reece, a Pro Bowl caliber full back, should assume responsibilities as the Raiders' top running back with Goodson and McFadden sidelined with ankle injuries. Still, as the Raiders may throw the ball 70%+ of the time now, neither Reece or Taiwan Jones should be considered a must start over the next few weeks. They will be matchup plays (and Reece has a decent matchup this week at Baltimore). More importantly, expect even more from Denarius Moore and Brandon Myers (assuming the TE is ultimately healthy enough to play this week) who should strengthen their values as safety valves and high target players in McFadden's absence.

06/04/2017 Highlight: With the NHL Stanley Cup Finals nearing its conclusion, we can leverage our ResultsFinder tool to profile our playoffs-to-date numbers. Since the start of May, the Predictalator is an incredible 25-9 (73.5%) on all NHL selections, including money line sides, totals, and puck lines. An average $50 bettor would have profited $242; six times more than the cost of the full NHL Playoffs package.
The NBA Playoffs have featured more ups-and-downs than the NHL postseason; however, totals continue to produce at a solid clip for the Predictalator. Dating back to the beginning of April, the Predictalator has posted a stellar 53-41 (56.4%) record on all playable NBA totals, producing $351 in total profit for a $50 bettor.

corinna777... I was just looking into the curl keeper/KY liquid dupe possibilities last night. I believe I am going to grab a bottle next time I'm out and give it a try. The serum I used yesterday is mostly glycerin, but also has some cornstarch, a fatty alcohol, and a light oil (sunflower). My hair this morning isn't the slightest bit stiff or greasy, yet still has definition (I can tell just by feeling it will bounce right back with some rehydration) and is very soft. Heading on the right track now I think. Apparently less is more with my hair, and it likes glycerin. I just wish I had gone this route to begin with instead of the mess I have been dealing with for the last three months, all the money I wasted on product, and the nasty cystic breakout I had to deal with at my hairline.

Blue Mouse Theatre
2611 North Proctor Street,
4 people favorited this theater
The 420-seat Blue Mouse Theatre was opened November 13, 1923 with "The Green Goddess". It is the oldest continuously operating theatre in the state of Washington. It was renamed Proctor Theatre in 1932, and in 1980 it became the Bijou Theatre. In 1993 it became the Blue Mouse Theatre again.
Basic craftsman style. Small enough to be fairly intimate, but not tiny. It is exactly what a neighborhood theatre should be. Its in a great neighborhood, you walk up, buy a very reasonably priced ticket, visit the concession stand and see a movie. Nothing real spectacular, but a great place to see a movie.

Exterior and Interior
I recently wrote an article about this theater for a website called Neighborhood Life. (www.neighborhoodlife.net) You'll see a photo of the Blue Mouse on the opening page and can click there. It's also the first article on the "Features" page. Please take a look.
Strange name but cool.
When I was stationed at nearby Ft. Lewis in 1963-64, I used to go to this theater for the latest Ingmar Bergman films like "Winter Light" and "The Silence". At that time, it was called the Proctor. Great little moviehouse, and a nice place to take a date as well.
The Proctor Theatre is the Blue Mouse, The theatre has changed hands over the years and bought out by some investors in 1993 and returned it to it's original name Of blue mouse then and is still operating
Everyday.. Last year we were put on Washington state Historic Listing and most recently the National Historic registry
I am wondering about the fate of this theatre with the demise of 35mm projection.
Hi Mark, The Blue Mouse will switch to digital, We plan on kicking off a fund raiser to help fund this huge expense
Help Save The Blue Mouse Theatre We must convert to digital projections

Taking More Than We Give Back
Are you a giver or a taker? It's a simple question that goes far beyond a one-word yes or no answer.
The bottom line here, in the event that this question may come as a surprise to some of my faithful readers, is very simple. Do you take more from your fishing or hunting trips and your living area, than you put back?
The purchase of a fishing or hunting license grants us nothing more than an opportunity to legally fish or hunt. It is a privilege but not a guaranteed right. It promises opportunities, not limit catch or a heavy game bag.
In days of old, when knights were bold, the landowner owned the fish and game. They also owned the river water that flowed through their property, and Heaven help the peasant that poached one of the king's red stags, a brown trout or Atlantic salmon.
The population was far less 300 or more years ago than now, and peasants were kept in their places and ruled with an iron fist. People caught poaching were severely punished, and any fish or game they may have taken was confiscated.
Things are much different now. We have flowing springs, but bottled-water plants are tapping into the aquifers. They are taking water but putting nothing back. There are developers ready to quickly fill wetlands, and they operate on the premise that it's easier to say "I'm sorry" later, if caught, than to ask for and be granted permission first.
These are trying times, and everyone wants and needs some outdoor recreation. We need to smell the roses, so to speak, but what will happen when the roses stop growing? What will happen when former trout streams become a mere trickle before drying up because a bottling plant has shipped our water out of state for corporate profit, and the trout have disappeared because bottlers have drained and sold our water?
How many people are speaking out to Gov. Jennifer Granholm? Are you standing up to face big business, and asking the hard questions: Is sale of our water right? What happens to Great Lakes water when Arizona, New Mexico and Texas want our water? What will be done then? Hopefully, compacts already is place limit such withdrawals but those who do not care are greedily trying to circumvent those laws.
Who among us is speaking out about urban sprawl in the Traverse City area? Or near Charlevoix? Or in the Petoskey-Harbor Springs area? Cadillac is another area primed for a push from those who wish to move north to what they perceive as paradise in northern Michigan.
How many people are willing to take a few minutes from their busy lives to ask why? Why is state government allowing this to happen? Why are cities like Detroit becoming an empty maze of cluttered and unsafe streets, boarded up crack houses, and why has 1.2 million people fled Detroit over the past 20 years? Why is the same thing happening in Flint and other cities around this state?
One needs to look no furthern than some politicians. Consider Kwame Kilpatrick and his sordid text messages and political hijinks. He got come time in the can, but not nearly long enough for someone who profited while the city he was paid to protect teeters on the edge of death.
What will become of our open fields, marshlands, hardwoods and conifers that now provide cover for game and non-game animals and birds? Has anyone paid attention to the downsizing of Michigan's deer herd? The marked decrease in snowshoe hares and some game birds?
How about those rivers where salmon and trout were once plentiful? Those rivers don't support the same number of salmonids as they once did, and they may never regain their grerat popularity.
The answer is easy. We're talking about an excessive loss of habitat. We're talking greedy businessmen. How, I wonder, can Exxon and other gas companies declare such huge profits for shareholders while the average person was breaking his back trying to stay afloat when gasoline was over $4 per gallon. We have Medicare programs that no one understands, and skyrocketing prescription drug prices. It's bureaucracy at its best.
Granted, what has happened in the past several years to our deer herd is not easy to cope with. But take a hard look at some of the problems.
Urban sprawl is eating away at land necessary for deer to live. People move north, buy their five or 10 acres of paradise, and disrupt deer travel routes. Homes are built where deer crossed roads. As more people move in, buy land, the terrain becomes even more fragmented. The deer soon disappear to another area that has yet to be exploited.
People see bears where they've never been seen before. The animals need a place to live, but humans have taken over. We own 20 acres we bought 30 years ago, and admit that we may have contributed to the problem. However, we did it long before the big push to move north came about.
Deer numbers in our area are way down so we hunt elsewhere. Does this solve the problem? Of course not, it just puts a bit more hunting pressure on an area that hasn't felt the full force of land development like what has taken place around Traverse City.
Thirty years ago Traverse City was a quaint northern Michigan town with about 8,000 people. Look at it today. It has the same types of problems as southern cities now faced. Drugs, embezzlement, rape, robbery, murder. We've got it up here, and paradise has lost most of its glitter, but it still looks nicer than downstate so the people keep coming back for another sample of the north.
Twenty or 30 years from now, when Traverse City has expanded southeast past Kingsley, southwest to Thompsonville, northwest to fill the entire Leelanau Peninsula, and northeast to meet Charlevoix that is expanding southward, we'll have the same problems that people fled when they moved north.
The difference is those who moved north brought much of their excess baggage with them, and now they want this area to be like their home area once was. Folks, it doesn't happen that way.
When will people look around, see the slow but sure destruction of this area, and wonder how and why we let it happen? Of course, the answer is easy: we are too busy raising a family, pinching pennies because half our pay is a view of the bay, and if we live long enough, we'll learn that if we aren't part of the solution, then we must be part of the problem.
Meanwhile, paradise has been turned into another drug store, gas station, bank or a cement-carpeted parking lot. And one must look hard to find a rose to smell, a deer to see, or that wonderful silence at night when the northern lights sparkled in the heavens. Sorry folks, but the aurora borealis is hard to see through the glare of city lights.

text: Well I did my best to search and can't find any answers. I need a new bezel that the shifter boot hooks into. The clips were broken and now it just sits loosely in the console there and it moves around when I shift. The best I can find online is the boot, bezel and knob for like $250. I just need that little plastic square everything else is fine. Hopefully this is possible and doesn't cost a fortune?

I kicked it, he kicked it (saw his headlights rare up) - and the little Kia pulled 10+ lengths on him before I let off.
Gotta get to the dealer this weekend...need to get the first (free) oil change.
Hahaha. Nice Frank. I killed an Acura the other night w the 37. Wasn't even competition
I know my Optima is just a sport-tuned family sedan...and not really fast. But it is pretty quick in the midrange...so if it is fast at all, I'd say it's sneaky fast. It's fast/quick enough that one push on the 'go' pedal at the wrong time will get me one helluva ticket. It sneaks up to 65 in a certain 45 zone on my drive home before I even realize it...
I can't imagine a gtr. Power must be unreal. Too much car for me.
If.I get a bonus I'm hoping for next month at work...I will offer to buy Gerard's Nova and turn it into a 1/4 mi beast. LOL.

I'm still waiting for Gerard to move his Nova. cash in my pocket waiting for that fair deal for both parties. As stated previously, the nova would be an 1/8 mi or 1/4 mi slut. Would love to break into the 12-12.5 range, just do not know if that is feasible under the current setup (adding gears).
I suspect for certain, If I was to obtain the Nova, engine and trans would be pulled...(hate leaks). I would add aluminum high flowing heads and another cam, change the stall in the trans (fix the horrid leak of course), and swap 4:11 or 4:56 gears.
of course if there were no leaks, i would run the bitch as-is.
lemme know when you want me to build the motor for you

2.73's would be great in a burn-out machine...LOL. Yeah...it needs gears, big time.
I was reading that the new boss 302 is a sub 4 second 0-60 machine. Wow. That is better than the Corvette!
I'd still consider a base model GT 5.0. If I could get a 2013 GT for under 30k w/leather, it would be tempting. With the optional 3:73s and DR tires, rumors have it in the 11's.
My apprehension is always ....do I need something like that and can I afford tickets n jail time.
While you are at it OMB...find me a revenue-generating low-end rental property!
Let me tell you, they are out there....but be prepared for heavy competition. Lots of investors!
Also, the closer you get to your home, the better. Last Friday one of my places had a "leak", had to go to Lowes TWICE to get the correct part to resolve. Finally finished at 10pm, thank goodness.
The other obstacle is the tenant. They are royal pain in the asses! There is always (without fail) some stupid excuse why they cannot get the rent to me on the 1st. I have TWO cronically late bitches. I charge the late fees, one bitches, one doesn't say a word. I always get "GREEN" too.
But make no mistake, rentals can easily make more than a salary if they lack mortgages.
I'm looking for THREE more minimum. There are TWO i am going to look at this week in Buford. Each cost less than an average new car and should net $500-550 mo (again, each).

An easier and safer way to wire the Heater is to use an unused fuse in the fuse box. Look at the user manual. It should list what fuses are used for what. There are usually two or more unused locations you can wire the heater to and put a fuse for the amp rating of the heater. In line with the wires wire the switch. Most foreign cars either have the fuse box located near the drivers side door or inside the hood near the battery box.

What you did was dangerous. No fuse, Not hooking up to the switch side of the ignition And paralleling the heating pads, Is definitely dangerous. As others have said, The use of a fuse is absolutely Essential.. Also as others have said, it should be hooked to the ignition side of the switch, So if something does happen it will happen when someone is around. Not when it's setting in your garage in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep. There should be a junction point under the dashboard to connect power to your device. Paralleling the heating pads is also a bad idea. It is one thing to run these pads on 13.5V+ on the bench. They have open-air to displace the heat. Putting them in a seat insulates them. The heat builds up quicker and could catch the foam padding on fire. A related example is when they used to use Knob and tube wiring In houses. 14gauge would carry a 20 amp circuit. When they started Insulating the wires there was no place for the heat to go so they had to increase the Size of the wire to 12gauge in order to keep them from overheating and catching the house on fire. Also you should not use solid core wired in Any automotive application. Vibration can cause the wires to break and short out. And the movement of the seat can cause it to break as well. Also do not twist the wires. Lay them as flat as possible and keep them from rubbing against each other when you sit down. When running it through the seat do not stretch the wires. Route them In a curve type pattern so they can move when you sit down. I have been doing this type of work since the 70s and if you were working in my shop you would be fired for doing that kind of work. There have been several incidents involving cars catching fire in garages and burning down the house and maybe killing the occupants. Keep your family safe and disconnect this garbage and do it correctly.

Yes, putting 2 in series would drop 6V across each. In this case though take a look at the product video they made for the pad. They tested it at a number of different voltages to see how much heat each would produce. They did run it up to about 16V i recall when the pad started to damage itself. Its all a trade off between how much heat you need, the life expectancy of the pad, and safety. There are a number of other factors that could come in to play: How hot can the seat material get before taking damage? And the cushion underneath. Is the pad being wrapped in some material to help it spread its heat over an area or just stuck inside the seat cushion, etc. In the end, as long as you make sure the pad is not getting to a temp that will damage it or the material around it it is likely ok. Adding a thermal-fuse is just an additional safety measure.

If you're putting a microcontroller in there anyway, then you DEFINITELY need the coolness factor of a pressure sensing (butt sensing) switch to turn it on.. You could even identify different drivers by their weight and set a target temperature based on their preference! ;-)

Dumb question.. If he put one pair of parallel connected pads in SERIES with the other parallel connected pair, then each set of pads would be dropping 6v, right? Would this be better if they're rated for only 5v?

A couple of related points: in Amateur (Ham) radio, we realize that typically "12v" batteries at full charge are more like 13.8v, and that's the number we usually use.

Also, in cars, you have this HUGE inductor called a "starter", and when you release the starter button, there can be a spike of up to about 70v in the system. Although it's very brief, and so probably won't affect things like resistance heaters, it can do a number on electronics. (This is why most cars cut off things like radios and computers when "cranking" - they actually use a "break-before-make" switch arrangement for the accessory power.) If you do decide to add a computer, either use a regulator that can handle the big transient, or go to powering it from something on the accessory line.

Yes, I've done this several times. They work well. I've taken a bit of random plastic and some electrical tape to tie them together to make things more manageable when swapping out the fuse.

Great idea- I second the 'wire them in series' thought. Run them for an hour that way and see how warm you get.

Adding a layer of high temp silicone material could keep them from bending too much and breaking from flexing too much (especially on the seat).

removing the connectors to the seats can sometimes trip the SRS computers and require you to do a reset procedure through the ODBII connection, it depends on the model and where the pre-tensionors are. That's ESP true with a car that has airbags in the seats. In most cases, if the connector goes to an airbag, there's a little shorting wire in the connector that drops in on the airbag side to prevent static discharge and erroneous signals when they are unplugged.

When I saw the thumbnail for the video, I saw the reflection on the insulation for the heating pad and it looked like little flames, or at least that's what my brain immediately went to :D

The charging voltages people have mentioned in foreign cars, my Honda also spikes up to 15.5 when I rev the engine. It went to 18 when the regulator opened up and the alternator nearly fried itself. It tripped my SRS computer, and I had to do a reset procedure through the OBDII connector.

Thermostat, YES! Or thermal fuse! Running them in series (in two parallel groups), good idea, that makes for safe failure if one shorts (but not if two short in the same string).

Also, cement those pads to a fabric or rubber (neoprene?) that can handle the heat, AND keep them from distorting from getting in and out of your car! Your movements could, over time, grind up the heat tape or the connections to the wires and then you'll get a short for sure.

Otherwise… you've got me thinking… ;)

1) Yes, Fuse.

2) Yes, feed from the switched Aux circuit, so it goes off when the key is turned off.

3) MOST IMPORTANT - If you are going to run these so far out of manufacturers spec (12+V instead of 5V) Then get yourself a handful of Thermal Fuses and put one in series with each pad and in physical contact with each pad. For example: http://www.amazon.com/Microtemp-Thermal-x2103-Cut-off-Skywalking/dp/B00EC83QES -About $1 each. Opens at 142C (288F) and will shut down the pad in case it goes above that temp. (They come in all different temperature ratings, so use one thats some degrees above your expected max temp. They do not reset, but must be replaced if tripped. What do you want for a buck? At least not a burnt up seat.) Other then that! Nice project, nice video. Nice wiretwist with the drill :)

A thermostat might be a good idea to keep yourself from having to switch it on and off all the time like window wipers… Fuses are always a good idea, Putin a normally off relay in there connected to the accessory side somewhere (cig plug or radio) is good so you don't kill your battery if you forget to turn it off.

fuses are nice….most importantly is to find an aux power supply…not directly from the battery…then when you turn off the key the power will turn off to the heat pads as well….it really sucks getting into a cold car only to find the battery is dead….

I know it has been said by many others but it is important, FUSE. I would have taped into the power distribution box (let the manufacture tap to the battery). I would also have looked to tap into a circuit controlled by the ignition. I would make for a bad day trying to start your car and no power because the seats were left on.

Anyone ever tried a Peltier? heated and cooled seats?

Oh, BTW, instead of wiring the pad pairs in parallel, wire them in series. This may limit current in some failure modes, and will also mean that each pad sees 6v (worst case 8v) instead of 12-16V. That's much closer to the pads' rated 5v.

Just FYI: I don't know 1990 Honda electrical systems, but I've seen foreign cars of that vintage run charging voltage (15.6v) in their nominally 12v electrical lines. I don't know if that was by design or some problem with the individual cars' voltage regulator circuits, but since you said "no problems until 16v"… well, 15.6 is awful close

You could even go a step further and add a microcontroller to the setup. Readings from a temperature sensor could cut power to the pads as required to keep the seats from getting too toasty. You could even go as far adding a switch with different heating levels (temp selection + temp sensor readings = heating pad temp).

thanks man! i originally shot the tutorial using a fuse tap from Auto Zone. I couldnt get it to work, so I had to cut all that footage out. If someone is confident in using a fuse-tap they have 2 fuses built in, which is cool. I think what my problem was is I only put in one fuse when it must have needed both.

First thought is "where's the fuse?". You really should have even had the fuse in line when you first tested. (Can you say "sparks flying"?)

Second thought: Beware the airbags! If you read the car repair manuals, they say to always disconnect the battery when you're doing things like taking off the console cover or anything around the dashboard. I don't believe the airbags will go off if you have the battery disconnected. If you were to set them off, it would be a "very bad day". American airbags come out with a lot of energy.

While everybody is throwing up "fuse", let me drop a question: would the female quick connects(https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11461) work on a standard ATO fuse? I know I prefer the 90° connectors with the ends insulated, but has anybody tried this?

If you're wondering how many amps you are pulling you should be able to get that from the documentation of the heating pad, and add them up.

FUSE!

What will happen is the solder joints on the heating pads wear through the electrical tape (use shrink wrap), short together, and you then have several hundred amps going through the positive wire, which will catch fire, and so will the car. And you will have a bad day.

Don't fool around on this one.

You want the fuse next to the battery, not for convenience, but because shorts between the battery and the fuse will not blow the fuse, so you want to avoid that extra little bit of cable run. Notice the car maker puts their fuses close to the battery too.

A fuse is a good idea for sure. The pads are holding up really well. In the product video they are in, Rob tested them to stand up running for 6 hours at a time with no insulation. They didnt have any problems till 16V, uninsulated, so I figured I'd be safe to use them.

Very cool Nic, very industrious also. I would have approached it with a seat pad that fits over the seat so I would not have to remove the car's seats…..I am generally kind of on the lazier side of car projects. And +1 on adding a fuse especially on a heating circuit directly connected to your car's battery.

Always add a fuse ! You can get inline fuse holders from auto parts shops. They normally come with about 6" of wire on either side of a molded fuse holder with cap for water proof. I normally crimp a lug on one side to connect to the battery, and then connect the load on the other side. Next to the battery, it makes it easy to see to remind you that that is where you put the fuse, but also that you actually added on in the first place.

In Illinois, the most gun-unfriendly state in the union, I could legally carry a firearm in my house and on my property. But I've moved.
I now live in a large condominium project (276 units) with ample common ground areas. I own 100% of my unit, plus a partial interest (< 1%) of all the common areas.
Can I carry when walking the dog around the condo grounds given that I have partial ownership of all the common ground areas?
Yes, I know I should ask an attorney.... and I will. But for now, I'm interested your opinions, especially if someone has a similar situation.
Thanks in advance.

excuse my misinformation, I just had more faith in Ford than I should have
Well it is an entire platform. But it's a SEPARATE platform from SYNC Gen1. So, AppLink for Gen1 is not compatible with MFT which is Gen2. They're not really shafting anyone with AppLink not being a part of MFT, it just hasn't been implemented yet (hopefully it will be).
The idea though is to add more control through your radio for apps from your phone, something that MFT already can do better than the Gen1 system can. Their train of thought is probably that since MFT can tackle Bluetooth Audio with limited controls already, there isn't as much of a need for AppLink controls on the system.
It makes sense to a degree, but considering they both employ SYNC voice command technology, they really should be developed as one system altogether because it confuses enough people on here as it is and we're a little more "in the loop" as those who aren't on the forums are. It seems as if they're moving that way though; the new Fiesta is going to have a smaller 6" version of MFT and the MFT system has been making it's way across the brand lineup.
So I expect to see the MFT platform as the primary platform in the future and hopefully at that point MS and Ford will really get their crap together and fix it.

Building a movement of community residents for educational justice and a healthy community in East Los Angeles
The Foundation's program, Communities Creating Healthy Environments: Improving Access to Healthy Foods and Safe Places to Play in Communities of Color (ICS), was designed to build state and national momentum to reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity through strategic investment in those communities most affected. ICS will focus on establishing new school wellness and food policies as part of a Healthy Empowerment Zone strategy. The comprehensive initiative will take on vendor policy, access to recreation, meal times and ensuring adequate service staff, curriculum changes and community food access. This grant is made as a transfer of a 2009 grant made to Community Partners where ICS was a project. ICS has grown from a project of Community Partners to a strong, independent institution with nearly a million dollar budget on its own.
