On Christmas Eve three years ago, Mihaela Hagima went into labour fearing that her cruel history was about to repeat itself. After two late miscarriages, her baby was arriving after only 25 weeks of pregnancy.
But against the odds, Alexia was born alive later on 24 December – the day Romanians celebrate Christmas – weighing less than a bag of sugar.
The premature baby was so tiny that her first meals consisted of 0.5ml of milk – the size of a raindrop – administered from a syringe.
Three years later, Mihaela sits with her beaming, chatty daughter on her knee and blinks back tears of disbelief. "Alexia was my Christmas Day miracle. Look at her now. I had lost two other babies, so when she came so early, I was without hope.
"She was so very small and in the first few days the doctors didn't know if she would survive. In previous times, to arrive at 25 weeks was a miscarriage. But she survived. She is my joy, my hope, my everything."
That Alexia is the thriving child she is today is thanks to another small wonder. After three months of intensive care in a neo-natal ward in the city of Iasi, in north-eastern Romania, Mihaela was allowed home with her child, with a warning that she faced a life of disability.
Like most parents in this impoverished region, Mihaela and her husband were offered little or no support for their daughter, and Alexia failed to progress. At 12 months of age, when many children are walking, she was still struggling to sit up.
Then Mihaela heard about Sansa Mea, a special needs centre in a suburb of Iasi run by Olimpia Macovei, a diminutive powerhouse of a doctor who has spent her life battling to modernise the Soviet-era instincts that once consigned the country's disabled children to the very worst of the notorious orphanages and boarding homes built by the regime of Nicolae Ceausescu.
In a spotless building surrounded by 1960s Communist apartment blocks, Dr Macovei has spent 12 years applying a philosophy that would have been alien to her predecessors: the importance of early intervention by professionals ranging from physiotherapists to psychologists to diminish, sometimes dramatically, the effects of disabilities on children between six months and three years of age.
Sansa Mea has been supported since its inception in 1998 by the British agency Children on the Edge – one of three charities supported by donations from Independent readers in this year's Christmas Appeal.
The result at Sansa Mea is as far away as it is possible to be from the faceless and cruel institutions of the Ceausescu era, where children with disabilities were hidden away in often barbarous conditions, tied to beds and left to cry themselves into a profound state of disturbance.
Brightly lit and painted, the Sansa Mea centre combines a special needs facility with a kindergarten where disabled and able-bodied children mix together from an early age.
Dr Macovei, as big hearted as she is determined, said: "You must never judge a growing child, especially one with a disability. You don't know what that body will become; after all you don't judge a flower or a tree when it is a seedling do you?
"From a very early stage in my career I saw that the earlier you intervened with a child with disabilities, the better the results. And this is particularly true in this crucial early period of life – therapies should begin as early as the second day of life. We should not underestimate the ability of the body and mind to repair itself."
With its mixture of professional and practical help (parents on the lowest incomes are offered extra food to build up the strength of their children), Sansa Mea achieves impressive results.
When she entered the centre two years ago, Alexia was unable to crawl and had missed a series of developmental stages. She now walks unaided, feeds herself and was happily reciting a Christmas poem on the day I visited.
Mihaela, 37, a hospital finance officer, said: "On our first day here I carried Alexia into the building stretched out in my arms. She could do very little and we didn't know to what extent she would catch up. But we have fought every day and this place has been wonderful. Children learn from each other. Now Alexia is normal for a child of her age."
Such transformations are exceptional but organisers at Sansa Mea, which means "My Chance" in Romanian, operate on the basis that even the smallest improvements are valuable and can dramatically improve quality of life. The centre has seen 141 children with disabilities and special needs ranging from cerebral palsy to autism to Down syndrome pass through its doors. Unsurprisingly, there is a waiting list.
Dr Macovei, smiling as she plays with two-year-old Alex, whose cerebral palsy was diagnosed as being so severe that doctors told his mother he was "a lost case", said: "We would be nowhere without organisations like Children on the Edge. You have to realise that even today the prevailing attitude in Romania is that disability is something you deal with by going to the doctor for tablets to control the condition. There is little recognition of the need to stimulate and interact. We have to change attitudes as well as the fate of these children."
Dragos, a five-year-old boy with profound neurological disabilities, is proof of the validity of Dr Macovei's ethos. He was locked in his own world when he arrived at the centre, barely able to crawl. Today he talks freely, bouncing off the walls with energy. Mariana Botez, his mother, said: "When I spoke with him, he would stare fixedly ahead. He was trapped inside himself. The combination of therapies and being with other children has worked a miracle. Now we have a little person we can talk with."
"Miracle" is a word that is heard often at Sansa Mea. But Dr Macovei says the changes that she and her colleagues bring about, such as the ability of a child to feed themselves or go to the toilet, are gained by hard work rather than divine intervention. Above all, she says, the centre is about repairing a legacy that drove children and the parents apart. "These mothers have been through a lot before they reach us. You could make a pillar of salt out of the tears of these women. We work for the children and for their parents."
The charities in this year's Independent Christmas Appeal
Children around the world cope daily with problems that are difficult for most of us to comprehend. For our Christmas Appeal this year we have chosen three charities which support vulnerable children everywhere.
* Children on the Edge was founded by Anita Roddick 20 years ago to help children institutionalised in Romanian orphanages. It specialises in traumatised children. It still works in eastern Europe, supporting children with disabilities and girls at risk of sex trafficking. But it now works with children in extreme situations in a dozen countries – children orphaned by AIDS in South Africa, post-tsunami trauma in Indonesia, long-term post-conflict disturbance in East Timor, and with Burmese refugee children in Bangladesh and Thailand. www.childrenontheedge.org
* ChildHope works to bring hope and justice, colour and fun into the lives of extremely vulnerable children experiencing different forms of violence in 11 countries in Africa, Asia and South America. www.childhope.org.uk
* Barnardo's works with more than 100,000 of the most disadvantaged children in 415 specialised projects in communities across the UK. It works with children in poverty, homeless runaways, children caring for an ill parent, pupils at risk of being excluded from school, children with disabilities, teenagers leaving care, children who have been sexually abused and those with inappropriate sexual behaviour. It runs parenting programmes. www.barnardos.org.uk

Council Inches Closer to Action on the Grove By Syeda Hasan • Oct 12, 2016 Miguel Gutierrez Jr. / KUT For several months now, the Austin City Council's decision about whether to approve the zoning for the Grove at Shoal Creek, a proposed 75-acre mixed-use development, has driven hours of debate and faced numerous delays. So, why is it taking so long? Listen Listening... / 3:04 Legal Battle Over Shoal Creek Development Intensifies By Syeda Hasan • Jun 15, 2016 Miguel Gutierrez Jr. / KUT A few months ago, residents of Austin's Shoal Creek neighborhood sued to stop a massive new development from going up. Now, that legal battle is getting more complicated. Neighbors Divided Over Planned 75-Acre Shoal Creek Development By Syeda Hasan • Apr 27, 2016 Miguel Gutierrez Jr. / KUT In Austin's Shoal Creek neighborhood, residents are divided over the prospect of a massive new mixed-use development. While some welcome the growth, others say the proposal hasn't been properly vetted. But take a walk around the Shoal Creek neighborhood, and you can clearly see that, for or against, the residents are all concerned. Listen Listening... / 4:56 Austin Restoring Banks, Paving Trails Along Shoal Creek By Andrew Huygen • Apr 23, 2014 City of Austin Watershed Protection Department After years of erosion, Austin is shoring up the downtown banks of the Shoal Creek trail starting Monday. Running from 15th Street to 28th Street, the project includes the eastern boundary of Pease Park. According to Morgan Byars, supervising engineer for the project at the Watershed Protection Department, the erosion hasn't only caused safety hazards, but an overall loss of greenspace. "Severe bank erosion [is] affecting large heritage trees that potentially will fall into the creek," Byars says. "We've got erosion very close to the trail system which presents a safety hazard for pedestrians and bikers, but also it's just a general loss of parkland." Construction and Closures Ahead for Hike and Bike Trail By Kelli Ainsworth • Dec 5, 2012 Filipa Rodrigues for KUT News Two separate projects on Lady Bird Lake may temporarily get in the way of folks using part of the hike and bike trail. The city is getting ready to begin work along the Shoal Creek peninsula near the Seaholm Power Plant. Construction begins soon, and is expected to last six months. Portions of the hike and bike trail near the peninsula and the parking lot west of Shoal Creek and South of Cesar Chavez will be closed and those using the trail will be detoured to Cesar Chavez. Eww... There's Too Much Fecal Bacteria in Four Austin Creeks By Laura Rice & Laura Rice • Nov 28, 2012 City of Austin Watershed Protection Department The City of Austin and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are asking the public to come out tonight to be involved in finding solutions for cleaning up four Austin streams. Walnut Creek, Waller Creek, Taylor Slough and the Spicewood Tributary of Shoal Creek all exceed the acceptable standard for E. Coli. The high levels of fecal bacteria make the streams potentially unsafe for people to get in the water. Limestone Boulders Could Save The Banks Of Shoal Creek By Nathan Bernier • Oct 28, 2011 The City of Austin is still in the early design stages of a project to fix the eroding banks along Shoal Creek. KUT took a tour of the creek erosion in Pease Park this week with one of the city's civil engineers. "Probably 30 or 40 years ago, they used a lot of concrete or rock filled wire baskets, which also break down over time," Morgan Byars with the City of Austin's Watershed Protection Department said. "We're trying to use more sustainable solutions that can last centuries." Check out the video above for an example of what he's talking about.

Life around these parts hasn't been to exciting. On the days when it isn't raining I get outside. Sherman enjoyed his first taste of freedom yesterday. He just loves dandelions.
We visited a war museum a few weeks ago. I walked through it in complete silence. I saw things I'm not sure I will blog about. It's one thing to see images while watching a documentary..but when you see them upclose..it's a whole other experience.
I've even managed to enjoy a beautiful sunset here and there! I am so ready for summer. We are in yet another cooler stretch here in The Netherlands...enough already!
Head on over to Unknown Mami to see what everyone else is up to this weekend!

Airplane Air
Airplane Air: Does It Really Make You Sick?
High-priority diseasesAccording to the European Center for Disease Control (ECDC), the diseases most relevant for transmission during flight, not including food-borne diseases or diseases spread by insects or other invertebrate species, and ranked according to priority are as follows:
• Tuberculosis
• Influenza, including avian influenza
• Measles
• Rubella
• Meningococcal disease
• Diphtheria
• Ebola hemorrhagic fever
• Marburg hemorrhagic fever
• Lassa fever
• Smallpox
• Anthrax
Yep, even the deadly ebola virus makes the list! Although there has yet to be a documented case of transmission, there have been several scares — like back in 2006, when a UK woman died of the disease shortly after boarding a flight from Johannesburg. Fortunately there have been few documented outbreaks aboard airplanes leading to serious disease or death. There hasn't even been a documented outbreak of influenza aboard an airplane since 1999. That said, the potential for disaster remains. Probably the worst outbreak of illness documented traces back to Sweden in 1963, when an individual picked up smallpox aboard an airplane and later transmitted the disease to 24 individuals, eventually resulting in four deaths.

Recommendation of the Committee of Ministers to Member States on the Reduction of Spectator Violence at Sporting Events and in particular at Football Matches (84/8)
(adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 19 March 1984)
The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 15b of the Statute of the Council of Europe,
Recalling its Resolution (76) 41 on the "Principles for a policy of Sport for All";
Bearing in mind the resolution adopted by the European Ministers responsible for Sport on "violence associated with sport" at their 2nd Conference (London, 1978), and their declaration on spectator violence at football matches and other sports events, adopted at their 10th informal meeting in Rotterdam, in 1983;
Having regard to Recommendation 963 (1983) of the Parliamentary Assembly on cultural and educational means of reducing violence;
Respecting the established independence of sports federations, including the international football authorities and the national football authorities in member states;
Emphasising the important contribution made by sport and, especially, because of their frequency, football matches between national and club teams from member states, to international understanding and European co-operation;
Supporting the principle of fair play in sport and recognising the value of a thorough appreciation of this sporting ideal among spectators;
Considering that, in order to reduce violence in society generally, action must be taken against all forms of violence;
Concerned by the growth of violence associated with sport, and in particular by misbehaviour and violence among spectators at football matches, which damages sport by tarnishing its public image, by deterring spectators and which may also discourage participation at the level of the sports so affected;
Concerned that violence and misbehaviour impose greater social and economic costs on the communities of member states, including those arising from injury to third parties, policing and damage to property;
Considering that the governments of member states and the sports organisations have separate but complementary responsibilities in combating spectator violence and that the two should work together to this end;
Commending the actions already taken by member states and by the responsible national and international football authorities to reduce or contain this problem;
Convinced that member states of the Council of Europe should take a lead in seeking solutions to the problem, and that their first priority should be the implementation by governments and by football authorities of practical measures which will have an immediate impact,
Recommends that the governments of member states:
1. Should, as far as football matches are concerned, and within applicable constitutional limits:
a. acknowledge their responsibility, complementing that of regional and local government and of other public agencies, and that of the football authorities, to curb violence amongst spectators;
b. co-ordinate at national level the policies and actions of government departments and other public agencies against spectator violence, and foster similar co-operation to this end at other levels;
c. attach immediate priority to the formulation and implementation of practical measures designed to reduce spectator violence in the short term, including:
i. appropriate steps to provide that adequate police resources are available to counter anticipated outbreaks of violence, both within the immediate vicinity of and inside the stadiums and along the transit routes used by spectators and also to encourage co-operation including the exchange of information between the police forces of the different localities involved;
ii. the consistent employment of, or where such does not exist the consideration of the adoption of, appropriate legislation, with a view to ensuring that those found guilty of offences related to spectator violence receive appropriate penalties, taking into account the serious nature of violent offences, which penalties may also deter others from similar acts;
2. That they co-operate fully with and take all possible steps to encourage their national football associations to:
a. ensure that effective measures are taken at and within stadiums to reduce spectator violence at football matches and in particular:
i. to ensure that the design and physical fabric of football stadiums provide for the safety of spectators, do not readily facilitate violence between spectators, allow effective crowd control by police and contain appropriate barriers or fencing so as to protect the playing field and to control the movement of spectators around it;
ii. to segregate rival supporters, with one or more terraces reserved for visiting supporters only;
iii. to ensure this segregation by controlling the sale of tickets for matches, and to avoid the casual sale of tickets that might undermine such segregation;
iv. to ensure insofar as it is legally possible the exclusion of known trouble-makers;
v. to ensure the provision of an effective public address system and that full use is made of this, of the match programme brochure and of other publicity outlets to encourage good behaviour by spectators;
vi. to restrict, if not ban, the sale of alcoholic drinks, including beer, and, if the sale of such beverages is permitted, to ensure that they are not available in potentially dangerous containers;
vii. to take all practicable steps to ensure that spectators do not bring in any objects that might be used in acts of violence;
viii. to consider appointing liaison officers to discuss before matches arrangements for crowd control with all appropriate public authorities so as to ensure that any relevant rules are enforced through concerted action;
ix. to encourage the establishment of official supporters' clubs and the appointment of stewards from within their membership to help manage and inform spectators at matches and to accompany parties of supporters travelling to away fixtures;
b. ensure that the rules and guidelines of the Union des associations européennes de football (UEFA) for the avoidance of crowd disturbances are implemented as a minimum standard at all relevant matches and to consider adapting and extending them as appropriate to national circumstances so as to have a clear set of rules applicable to domestic matches;
3. That they work closely with their respective national football authorities to:
a. seek arrangements to assist with the financing of alterations to the physical fabric of stadiums or other measures necessary to improve safety and to curb spectator violence;
b. consider the possibility of introducing a system of stadium licensing to promote the safety and orderly behaviour of spectators especially for those stadiums used for matches likely to attract large or unruly crowds;
c. invite the media - whilst supporting their editorial independence and recognising their responsibility to report acts of violence - to highlight example of fair play and sporting behaviour by participants or spectators, in order to give publicity to the authors of such acts and encourage their peers to emulate them;
d. foster co-operation among relevant public authorities, football clubs and stadium owners to ensure good spectator access to stadiums (including bus and car parking facilities), unnecessary obstacles to spectator access being a possible stimulus to aggression among spectators;
e. consider the introduction of procedures and studies to monitor the impact of measures to alleviate violence and misbehaviour by football spectators;
4. That, in addition, on the occasion of international club and representative matches or tournaments they should:
a. co-operate closely and encourage similar close bilateral and multilateral co-operation as appropriate both among the relevant national football authorities involved and among the respective national public authorities (for example, police forces) including those of countries which may be crossed by visiting spectators;
b. seek to ensure, bearing in mind each member state's legal procedures and the independence of the judiciary, that visiting spectators apprehended in connection with acts of spectator violence are tried under procedures which are in accordance with the principles set out in paragraph 3.b above, or, where appropriate, take advantage of the possibility of transferring proceedings against such persons to the country of residence;

That, as far as other sports events are concerned where violence and misbehaviour among spectators may be a problem, they apply the same principles and ideas as are embodied in this recommendation, with respect both to governmental action and to action in co-operation with the national sports organisations concerned;
6. That, so far as the general causes of violence among players and spectators are concerned, they take additional long-term measures to prevent the growth of violence in sport by promoting the sporting ideal through educational and other campaigns and by giving support to the notion of fair play, especially among young people, so as to enhance friendship among sports players and spectators;
Instructs the Secretary General to transmit this recommendation to the governments of those states party to the European Cultural Convention which are not members of the Council of Europe.

Arsenal produced another incredible display of attacking football to overwhelm Norwich 4-1.
Jack Wilshere traded flicks with Olivier Giroud to score an early goal of the season contender in the 18 minute and the first headed goal of Mesut Ozil's career doubled Arsenal's lead. Norwich threatened a comeback through Jonny Howson before an excellent solo goal from substitute Aaron Ramsey and a second from Ozil ended their challenge.

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We tend to pull dogs that other people and rescues have bypassed. For example, maybe the dog had mange and most people just felt sorry for it, but would not adopt. Or, maybe the dog was skin and bones and looked pitiful, but not seen as adoptable. It could be as simple as it was a holiday weekend and people had other things on their minds instead of adopting. Whatever the reason, we believe all animals deserve a chance so we try to do our part in giving that to them. We wish we could save them all. Unfortunately, there are too many homeless animals and not enough homes for them therefore alot never get their chance for a new life. The ones that do are often forever grateful and show that to you through their love and devotion.
At present we are not a non-profit so all expenses come out of our own pocket. While we charge an adoption fee of $150 to $200 the actual expenses of rescuing, vetting and feeding a dog are usually so much more especially if the dog has health issues. We rescue anyway because we love dogs and feel obligated to do our part in saving some deserving lives. We will gratefully accept donations to help offset our costs and allow us to continue to save some lives.
Adoption is to the best match between the person or family and the dog. It is not first come, first served. We put alot of love and time into our fosters and only want the best for them.
Our adoption fee varies depending on how much money was spent to get the dog healthy and adoptable. It will usually range from $150 to $200 though the actual costs to us are often quite more. The adoption process will include an application, vet reference, home visit and signed contract. This is to ensure us that our foster dog is going to a good home and will be happy and this in turn will give us peace of mind.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Geothermal basic questions.
I'm building a new home (4900 sq ft) and want to use geo. However, my best bid so far (only 2 contractors in the Memphis area) is around $36000. I've talked to many people about it and I'd like to put in the system myself. There is a Diy site that sells everything I need.
My questions are:
Will the horizontal closed loop work in my area if I go 6 ft deep?
Will the unit(s) work in my attic?
Will they be to noisy for an attic?
Why do you suppose the contractors here charge so much more than the quotes I hear about in other areas?
Thanks for any responses.
Hi flyby
A geothermal system is the most efficient and one of the quietest operating systems on earth. As far as the loop system, that is going to be best answered by getting ahold of a geological survey for your area. You should be able to go to the county inspector for this information. What you are looking for is known frost line and constant temp level. You may not even have to go down 6 feet in your area or you could have to go down double that. With the way a geothermal operates do not guess at this!. As far as a closed loop system. To me there is no better means than closed loop for optimum performance of a system. You will also want the duct system designed professionally. Any heating or cooling system this is a must, but is more closely needed on a geothermal. It will require you closely pay attention to what you are doing, don't scrimp when it comes to this system and it will repay you 10 fold.
Good luck
I'd be very curious to know how much more a geothermal system costs than conventional, (installation) what the difference is in yearly operating costs, and when the payback period ends.
IMHO, many so-called low-energy systems cost more than they save.
Thanks #CARRIERMAN. Any other info from you or anyone would be greatly appreciated. I've heard they are quiet, but I just talked to an installer and he thought it would be too noisy/too much vibration for an attic. Any thoughts? BTW, the guy who said this installs in CO and said he would do the same job there for around 18k. I wish I could get him out here.
Unless the cost of electricity is low in your area you wont save much by going with a geothermal heatpump versus a high efficiency gas fired furnace specially if the winter temperatures drop well bellow freezing for a long period of time, also there are only a few companies that can service the equipment, be prepare to pay more for regular maintenance and repairs. In a nutshell unless your area meets a set of specific conditions there arent any $ savings at all.
Try HydroTemp... http://www.hydro-temp.com/
I used to work there. I know they install and service West Memphis, likely they'll go the extra couple miles for you.
Talk DIRECTLY to MIKE JONES.
Now, for options...total electric system w/o a heat pump: about 12k. Gas fired heat, standard A/C, about 14k, Heat pump system, about 15k. Geo thermal, 16k plus the ground wells (6). Gas fired would be ok, except in the country we have to use propane...currently running $2 a gallon.
This is a split system, 6 tons total air movement. If the energy estimates are correct, my cost to heat and cool this house will be less then $100 a month at current rates. So will it pay off? Sure....lots of people are paying .o4 and up per sq/ft per month to heat and cool, I know a few that have $500 a month electric bills for 3000 sq/ft.
Are they using water furnace equipment? I just don't understand why they want so much more $ here in the Memphis area for what sounds like the exact same house size. They also quoted me 6 tons. I can get the wells dug for $1400 per hole (ton). That would make a difference of more than $10000. It's not like I have no room to work with either (15 acres of pasture). I'm hoping Hydro Temp comes through.
Our electric cooperative gets a subsidy from the government for doing these systems. My own heat and air contractor said he couldn't buy the equipment for that price.
HydroTemp makes all of there units in house... they have a small factory. This may mean added savings for you.
Hi flyby
I am glad to see joasis get involved he is very good people. I just wanted to let you know that there are a lot of different manufacturers of geothermal equipment. Water Furnace is a good one but the one I most preferred and had the best performance characteristics was the Climatemaster brand. They had the highest efficency rating and were the quietest on the market. Just don't want you to get boxed into a corner, go online to www.carrier.com see if they will be willing to help you. I think you will be amazed at the response you will get. As far as one of the responses I read, not exactly sure where the information was coming from. I just don't want you to be missinformed. A geothermal heat pump typically comes with eer rating of at least 21. This means that in seer rating such as a gas furnace of 90 plus. That the geothermal is 2100 percent efficient, gas fired equipment cannot even come close to this efficiency rating. Most other appliances used for heating or cooling use an seer rating, meaning seasonal efficency rating. Geothermal is eer or energy efficiency rating, it is rated on a year round performance not a 4 month performance rating. Hope this helps with your quest.
Good luck

Good Morning/Evening all,
I attend a lot of WebEx's quiet regularly but at the current point in time the only way that I can do them is by Virtualizing a Windows PC using VMWare on my BT4 R2 box. To this date, after scanning google and the forums trying to find a native way to stream these WebEx seminars through VLC running on my BackTrack box, I have failed to come up with a solution.
The file format that is used is .UCF or "Universal Communications Format".
Are there any linux based applications that will allow me to stream these WebEx seminars on BackTrack 4 and if so, what application do I need to get?
Help would be appreciated as it'll be ideal to get rid of the V-Box and run everything natively through BT4.
Through the WebEx login portal, It says I need the below applications (On a windows PC) - Windows Media Player 9.0 or above, and/or Quicktime 7.0 + Adobe. Running the tests, adobe is 100% operational, but when I test the WMP9.0 or Quicktime 7.0 links to confirm I have the required files, it asks to install addons, but fails to find any.
Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

You think you get over things. You think you forget. But the first four seconds of this commercial for Gaylord — a terrifying canine automaton from the 1950's ("He comes with a bone of his own," the announcer informs us. Indeed?) — drew me into a nightmarish re-enactment of the persecution I had to endure every day as I minced around my kindergarten playground. "Gaylord! Gaylord!" the purple-faced goblins of my peer group would cry. Then they descended upon me, a sticky horde that would only stop pinching and poking until I burst into tears and loudly disavowed any spiritual affinity with Care Bears and unicorns. It was terrible, but twenty five years later, I do this same thing to Joel when he comes into the office in the morning. What have I become?

351C vs 383 vs 393 vs 408 ?
we have just pulled the 351C 4V out of my brothers 1972 Pantera.
It is parted and shows weare from low oil pressure etc.
The only sensible thing to do is to keep the original cylinder block and fit
the rest new after boring it to .040". It is already .030".
To fit new complete cylinder heads and maybe a stroke kit from Scat(?), will
probably do?!
The car need 400-450 hp(DIN:-), with good
So anyone thats done it with sucsess before?
We are chancing to aluheads but what are the best.. Trick Flow, Aussie, CHI or other?
- 61cc and another 2-3 cc caused by the head gasket make: ca 12,0 with a
flat piston 408 displacement and: 10,6 with dished pistons.
Alternative 2: 11,3 with 383 cu in, and flat pistons or : 11,56 with stroke
kit 393 cu in and flat tops ?
Strokerkit from Scat proabarly..., but schould we go for 408, or stop at 393 ?
- Flat pistons or dished? We are worried about how the oilring are on the dished pistons..
Could you also recommend rocker arms and a good cam shaft, and pushrods?
The car will be used on normal roads, highways and mybe on track, but just for
The trouble for us that live in Norway, are that it´s so many different ways to Rome, when you are dealing with the 351C...
Re: 351C vs 383 vs 393 vs 408 ?
The oilring will be a concern on the stroker pistons, but not on the dished. Dishing the pistons should not affect the rings.
If it were my Pantera, I'd consider a mild stroke and the CHI heads. Being such a unique vehicle, I'd have to check carefully to make sure the exhaust will connect to the CHI heads, maybe use some milder heads if that will be a a problem.
Lots of great parts for that motor, but not sure what will fit inside his engine compartment.

Leave-ins prefs: CJ Hib&Banana Fine vs. Giovanni Direct
I'm in love with CJ Hibiscus & Banana Honey leave-in (fine) but not in love with its glycerin content that strips/fades my color.
So I was in Whole Foods today in -- where else? -- the hair care aisle and picked up Giovanni Direct Leave-in that has no glycerin.
If you have used both, which do you prefer? Or do have another leave-in keeper that is non-glycerin/non-protein and moisturizing?
Elucence Moisture balance Conditioner doesn't have proteins or glycerin
Neither does aloeba and tooshea by jessicurl
shameless bump
I don not color my hair, so I am interested in the CJ Bananna and Hibiscus leave in. I currently use the Giovanni direct leave in and I love it. It gives definition, and it seems to really moisturize my hair. The only reason that I want to try the other leave in is because I am a true PJ and cant resist :twisted:
I'm going to Whole Foods today. The PJ is calling. The thick consistency that you mentioned in the HG thread hooked me. :)
Although it seems that you've tried it already, so I'm not sure if you're still looking for input, I'll throw in my 2cents in a few days. :)

going to look at a 65 Falcon- need advice
I'm going to look at a 65 Falcon Futura Wagon for the princly sum of 1000 dollars, sometime after christmas. Essentially, this is the first car this old that I've had to inspect as a buyer, and I want some help with what to look for. I'm worried about a too-good-to-be-true factor.
It's got an automatic (C4 I assume) and a 1969 302, with an Accel electronic ignition. I want to know how I can tell
A) what sort of 302 it is, high-po, what sort of cam, maybe the metal used? That sort of stuff.
B) how to spot any hackwork on the swap or ignition install, this guy seems like a backyard mechanic so I'm a bit nervous about buying another amateur's full engine and electronics upgrade
C) The owner says it needs front suspension work because of slop in the steering wheel (over 2 inches, he doubts it's safe to drive any distance). How can I tell, with the car not up in the air, what this might be and how severe it is. I'm thinking that replacing the ball joints and most of the bushings should solve my problem, how realistic is that?
D) I know how to spot cheap repairs and problem spots on the body, but how can I be sure the floor isn't rusty or hacked without tearing up carpet? If I see fiberglass, assuming it looks secure and well done, should I even care in a daily driver?
E) (gettin up in the alphabet now) The owner says it is actually a blend of a 64 and 65 body, with parts of the rear being 64. What parts could he mean? Where would I look for a seam? What other risks and problems could be involved in that?
F) he's got a 57 ford rear end with a 2.47 gear in it. I'm worried that it's not strong enough and is so low-geared that it might be lugging the engine and tranny. For a mildly hopped-up daily driver driven by a ******* teenager, should I be looking at upgrading the rear end to lower gears or a newer/tougher setup? Is it possible to put a limited slip in this rear end?
G) Rock Auto has most of the suspension parts I need, for fairly cheap, but I don't have a credit card and might not be able to get the stuff from the internet like that. Is there a way I could get parts for cars these old using cash, and/or not travelling too far?
Answers to these questions and any general comments you have would be greatly appreciated. I know that's a lot of stuff to answer, but any tidbits are useful.
A. Assume it is a high-miles, worn out, garden variety 302 with worse-than-awful heads. '69 heads were not made to operate on unleaded fuel, so even if you decide to keep and use them (bad decision in my opinion if you're looking for a performance motor), they will have to have hard exhaust seats installed. Most any motor made before 1972 will be a fairly high compression motor, so take that into consideration also. It may not operate at all without pinging (detonating) on the junk fuel we now have available at the pump.
B. If the motor runs and you can drive the car, assume the ignition system is valid. Get the Owner's Manual or Installation Instructions from Accel and trace out the wiring if it would make you feel better.
C. Assume the steering box, ball joints, tie rod ends and control arm bushings are junk.
D. Crawl under the car and punch around with an ice pick. If you can't stick it through the sheetmetal, assume it'll be ok for a daily driver.
E. Ask the dude what he means SPECIFICALLY and have him show you. If he has back-halfed the car due to repairs from an accident, assume the thousand will be better off in your pocket than in his.
F. 1957 was the first year of the 9" rear (very strong) and this particular model is highly sought after for rodding material because of its narrow track. There are several options for limited slip devices, including factory and aftermarket. Google for Currie Enterprises and Moser Engineering.
G. Go to your bank and ask for a secured credit card. You deposit money in an account that will back up the card. That way, the bank can never lose on it and you can order parts on the internet.
I may sound to you like a grinch and actually I am. In my 66 years on this rock, I have seldom been disappointed if I assume the worst in any situation dealing with another human.
The motor should be level side to side and on a downward tilt to the rear of 2-3 degrees. The pinion at the rear should mirror or closely mirror the engine tilt (2-3 degrees up) to allow the u-joints to function properly. A good primer for understanding engine swaps can be had for cheap. Once you get your secured credit card from the bank, order this book for $4.40 plus $3.99 shipping. It'll be a good education for you for under ten bucks.

likely 80% of the play in the steering wheel is because the steering box has never been re-adjusted/tightened which is easy to do...
Thanks for both the replys.
I forgot to add that I DO know that the heads are late 70s Mustang units for exactly the reason you mentioned, Techinspector.
So basically what I'm hearing is:
The 57 rear end is a very good thing
The engine is probably run of the mill but with the exception of the heads (which are probably ridiculously low compression) not a bad base for a DD
The suspension budgets should be, at least, new bushings anywhere and everywhere, tie rod ends, ball joints, and at least an adjustment to the steering box
If nothing is obvious by poking and prodding and looking, and the body changes aren't due to an accident, don't worry about it as far as rust and repairs
Make sure the engine and pinion angle are tilted back about 2-3 degrees and everything is level
And I've been thinking of getting a secured credit card for a while now, I guess I'll have to break down and get it.
Techinspector, I get where you are coming from, and I know that as a young (17) car hobbyist, one of the biggest traps I can fall into is my own over-eagerness and optimisim.
Anyone else with something to add, even just general advice or even information about the model of car, I'd love to hear it.
Oops, forgot the link to the book....
It's unclear in your posts whether or not the 9" is in the car or is a loose item he's throwing in with the car. If it's loose, measure the axle flange to axle flange on the 9", then remove the wheels and tires off the rear and measure the diff that's in the car. This will tell you the backset on wheels to use so the tires will clear the inner panels and fender lip. If you install the 9", welding may/may not have to be done to re-position the spring pads so they will work with the Falcon springs. Be aware that you can easily warp the housing, resulting in bearing replacement on a frequent basis. Read this tutorial on the subject....

check to see if it originally had a v8 .. there are links somewhere to check the serial no and ID tag will tell you what the original engine and trans were,..v 8's had different suspension parts... 5 bolt wheels/ bigger brakes and an 8 inch rear end. a good 8 inch will take a warmed up 302 ok and traction lock or what ever Ford called it were available also... was only front bumper- grille replaced or was the body cut in halp and patched.... we had one in the shop that had a comet front half grafted on after a crash. ..ford rear still intact? is the 57 in the car?...I think the 57 is almost a bolt in .. the 57 usually needs different u bolts and bottom spring-shock mounts .. lots of 9 inch stuff can be found in older 1/2 ton pickups including several kinds of locker-limited slip... also check big ford or merc wagons for parts... there are ford falcon fairlane sites that have lots of info..cheapest front discs are granada monarch-lincoln versailles parts.... best calipers ane new mustang.. granada design tend to wear out one side of the rotor... a bad idler arm can also cause steering play

1965 falcon
It will have a 289 if it is the original , they have decent heads,they have better rocker arm setup than mid 66 and later, as far as not working on non leaded fuel that is hog wash, if you were towing or useing as a taxie some seat pounding would happen. i have over 10000 miles on my 302 with 65heades ported useing 351 w valves and aprox 10to 1 comp, use mid grad fuel no pinging runs great, i used 289 conrods with trimed flat tops to get pistons to come to the top of the block,cut valve reliefs a bit to clear larger valves.now i live in surrey bc so the fuel may be a bit different, but rather dought that it is. cliff
Last edited by OneMoreTime; 12-21-2008 at 03:55 AM. Reason: Violation of guidelines. Please see: general board guidelines.
'64/'65 are pretty much the same.. 1/4's, fenders, and doors are all the same. the diffrence comes with the trim. it probably has a mix of '64/'65 trim.. the taillights/ grille are diffrent also.. nothing that can't be reversed and put back to stock, but it shouldn't look bad as is.. just people who kno Falcons will be able to spot it
65 Falcon "IS" a 65 Mustang so structural and unibody and many mechanical and electrical parts are a direct swap and relatively dirt cheap from any of the Mustang resto-parts houses...
(95%+? of all the 65' Mustang parts are available)
compared to most of the older cars, it is inexpensive and simple to build to be a very nice car....
the Falcon/Mustang unibody wasn't designed for a V8 TQ,,,and most of these cars have been hit hard at least once in their life...
put about $150 in your budget for a trip to a frame shop....
and do add torque boxes to the lower firewall/frame/floors ($50 each?) to build strength back into the front end
The 57 rear end is in it, and the 302 is a rebuilt (who knows what he means by that exactly) 1969 model.
Thanks for the responses and advice.
As for the body panel swap questions, it's a wagon and I was told the rear parts were the non-original parts that are from a 64. I'll definetely check out a frame shop.

text: The team: Pistons happy to begin title chase as underdogs November 1, 2006 BY KRISTA JAHNKE The NBA's general managers recently shared their thoughts on the upcoming season through their annual preseason poll. The 28 executives who responded voted for Miami, San Antonio, Dallas, Phoenix, Minnesota and Orlando as the teams that have a chance to win a title this season. The Pistons have had more success in the past five years than all of the teams on that list, save the Spurs. The Pistons are coming off a season in which they won 64 games, advanced to the Eastern Conference finals and lost mainly because of badly timed injuries and a little too much wear and tear. Press clippings November 1, 2006 Detroit Free Press What they're saying about the Pistons in publications across the country Feel the in-ten-sity! November 1, 2006 Detroit Free Press Setting your TiVo in advance? Ten games you shouldn't miss on this season's NBA schedule: PISTONS CORNER: Rose will pick a team today November 1, 2006 BY KRISTA JAHNKE Last week, Joe Dumars emphatically gave his roster a seal of approval, saying, "I'll tell you what -- I like our team." But the Pistons' president is not one to shy from making a move he thinks will improve his squad. That's why Dumars will wait for word today from free agent Jalen Rose on whether he'll take a small role off the Pistons' bench for the veterans' minimum salary

"nightowl" is obviously pitching a band which is probably friends with "nightowl" and using this review forum to get them on MTV?! Nah! Nobody could be that lame.
Just a bar at night, but during the day this is BBQ HEAVEN! I have lived all over (Thanks to the military... and I am from Texas where BBQ is a serious matter and not to be taken lightly so trust me when I rave.)
I have been to Kasey's DOZENS of times and every time I drag another geeky coworker with me in there they are forever thankful and in BBQ HEAVEN!
The 3-meat sampler is the best deal... just get that and plan on taking leftovers home. Oh! I saw an e-mail come out today at work saying that we are going to be having Kasey's come in to our office building so people can go and order a plate to take back to their offices.... WOOHOO! Hopefully this is a regular thing for us... AND I hope he has LOTS of food because we have 300 people between our two buildings of DoD contractors:) I love good food and don't care if the place is nothing fancy.
By the way, I have tried alllll the sides and never been disappointed in anything... EVER!
A biker bar for adults who don't like to fight, but love to eat and drink
I stopped into Maggie's while my dad was having eye surgery. I come from a family of waitresses and this place was very much like the place my grandma and mom worked at for years. Although it would be considered dated by today's standards the hostess and waitresses were very nice. The food was really good and was served quickly. The prices sre very reasonsble for the amount of food you get. I would recomment this place to anyone!
This is the closest sports bar to my house; the wife and I enjoy going here for the occasional beer and lunch/dinner. The only other options around here are large chains; at least for the Cimarron Hills neighborhood. (Rock Bottom and Old Chicago come to mind.)
This is actually a cute sports bar and the food is decent. A 25oz Guinness set me back $6.99 which I felt was a tad bit pricey, but the pours were excellent and the beer fresh. The food prices were good; I had a decent-sized wrap and a cup of some very tasty chicken-tortilla soup for about $10.
So... obviously the profit margin here is made on alcohol, not food. ;) This is true for many restaurants, though.
A few stand-outs - the Buffalo-chicken wrap with fresh carrots and celery as well as the spicy burger (Dynamite burger, or something like that I believe) are very tasty.
The atmosphere is loud and kid friendly, so don't expect this to be a "quiet date night" kinda place. It's a place to bring the kids, have a beer, and watch some sports - with good food and decent if slightly expensive drinks.
Decided to stop and try the food here when we noticed the specials board while strolling through Old Colorado City - VERY glad we did! They had a lot more than just burgers and bar food. We had the Lettice Wraps as an appetizer and tried a couple of the daily specials - I had Chicken Marsala and the wife had the Sloppy Buffalo. Everything tasted great. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere with very good service. Loved the vintage NFL helmets around the bar - will definitely be back for football season also!!
I love the sloppers! Definitely worth the drive from Colorado Springs. The staff makes you feel like a local. Fun, fun, fun.
it has been at least 20 years since I have had the honey wings with potato salad when I was stationed there. The best in the world. you guys need to franchise. Posted by Terrance L. Reese.
Excellent pub-style food and drinks, very friendly, informed and helpful staff, clean and very welcoming.
Pay no attention to this 'real NAVAJO'. I'm part Native myself (I know this guy would not consider me real; Guess what? I don't care) and I am not offended by the name in any way. The Navajo Hogan ROCKS! Why don't you go pick on the KC Chiefs or Cleveland Indians or are you too wasted on Mad Dog 2020?
As a real NAVAJO, who has actually grew up on the Navajo Reservation, I take offense to this establishment's name and business practice. Many native tribes are still struggling with alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide and domestic violence. There is NOTHING Navajo about this place, nor does it compliment my tribe. It is not "honoring" Navajos, it's simply furthering the stereotype that Native Americans are goofy drunks. I will be doing everything I can to spread word about this business' practice and the exploitation therein. Please note.
Live music on Saturday? Not if there is a game on the TV. Band standing around waiting for the game to be over before they could start playing. I go OUT to see live music, I can watch the game at home. House sound system is cranking obnoxious techno-dance mix stuff while the band stands around waiting for the game to be over? Seriously? Never did get to see the band play. They were billed to start at 8. Doorman said 8:30. We left at 9:45 without hearing a note. What a disappointment.
Use to patronize The Keg regularly for lunch. Unfortunately the last couple times, the chicken in the Berry Salad was like a rubber chicken. Food has gone down hill over the last couple of years.
I've been frequenting the Keg for over 20 years and I have always had a enjoyable time and been treated in a friendly and courteous fashion. It is normally filled with local folks, relaxing and having a good time with friends. The food and beverages are GOOD and there is a nice variety to boot. The Keg is a classic Manitou neighborhood hangout!
Read more reviews on the Hogan at:
comfortable atmosphere not all bar tables, open to 11, kobe hamburger cooked right, beer battered fish and chips are great. They have bbq but havent tried it .
In the last week we have eaten here 4 times! Once was take out pizza and the rest was dine in. Everything i have had has been spot on and just flat out good food and plenty of it. The staff is very friendly and there is always someone checking on you to see if you need your drink refilled or anything else for that matter.
Great club revived, but not a place for Martini Shot or disco!
Wyatts is a breath of fresh air for this neighborhood. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming plus the food is delicious. We have nothing but good things to say about Wyatts. Welcome to the neighborhood.
My dad (Scotty) owned the Keg for 20 years before Mud bought it and I must say the food now is 1000 times better now than it ever was... It is a neighborhood bar and they don't take kindly to being hasseled... Even if you're right, it don't matter...
there's plenty of other good neighbor bars all within walking distance of the Keg...
try one of them next time...

Some Air Travelers Are Actually Happy. Yes, You Read That Right
"It's game-changing. Amazing. It's the best."
In the 11 years since Al-Qaeda terrorists used passenger planes as weapons on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, air travelers have rarely used such words to describe the airport security experience. But that could be changing at airports across the country.
"It honestly has changed everything," says Neal Lassila, a tech company executive, describing how easily he sails through security now thanks to the Transportation Security Administration's PreCheck program.
Lassila was interviewed by Transportation Nation after taking all of 90 seconds to pass through a new screening checkpoint at Dulles International Airport in suburban Washington that was built specifically for PreCheck "known travelers."
"I travel quite a bit so getting in and out of security was a bit of a hassle," the Los Angeles resident said.
Lassila didn't have to take off his shoes or belt -- or even open his bag -- on the way through the checkpoint. He had been pre-screened after successfully applying for the TSA program through his airline as a frequent flier. His 'known traveler' number is now embedded in the bar code of his boarding pass.
TSA officials invited reporters to attend a news conference inside the Dulles main terminal on Tuesday to check out the new checkpoint and interview travelers who have been accepted into the PreCheck program, which marks a shift in the one-size-fits-all security template used on all travelers after 9/11.
"I had to give them my driver's license, a working passport, and I had to show them my birth certificate to prove who I was and that the documents matched me," said Rich Hubner, a Virginia resident who travels frequently for his environmental science career.
Hubner applied for the PreCheck expedited screening program through the government's Global Entry system which requires a short, in-person interview with security personnel to verify his identity. Becoming eligible for the program removed all the hassle of long lines at security checkpoints.
"Cooler minds have prevailed finally," he said.
Dulles is the 26th airport where PreCheck is operating. TSA hopes to expand the program to 35 airports by the end of the year. Three million passengers have been screened through PreCheck to date, according to TSA administrator John Pistole. But he said Dulles is a special case. "Dulles International is the first airport in the nation to build a new checkpoint that is dedicated only to TSA PreCheck operations," he said at the news conference. "If we have determined that a passenger is eligible for expedited screening, that information will have been embedded on the bar code of your boarding pass."
There are some caveats: only frequent fliers of certain airlines, like American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, US Airways or Alaska Airlines are eligible right now. And pre-screened passengers won't necessarily fly through security every time. The TSA website warns that the agency "will always incorporate random and unpredictable security measures throughout the airport and no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening."
