I think affection is always good. When a child feels insecure then that is when they will act out most. There are Mama boys who have Mom's who are enablers. This is what my Mom was. My brother was always in trouble outside of the home & she always made excuses for him. He is a Father & a Grandfather & he doesn't have a clue. His children & grandchildren have real problems that he blames on everything, but them or him. My ex's Mom was a wonderful Mom, but felt that no woman was good enough for him. My ex had nothing to do with me or our children & she wanted to make sure that I was taking care of him & he was happy. She wasn't like that with her daughters. She assumed that their husbands would take care of them. I think alot of that was that she expected him to take care of her in her old age. She wanted to make sure she was the priority. Now that we are divorced & he has married, according to her, the ***** from Hell, she appreciates me.

History of Fraternity & Sorority Life
Below you will find the history of fraternity and sorority Life at Shippensburg University. If you should have any updated information, please contact the office.
Early in 1959, when Shippensburg University was named Shippensburg State College (SSC), our first Greek organization was born. It was a National Fraternity named Phi Sigma Epsilon. Later that year, two more National Fraternities were founded, Sigma Tau Gamma and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Also in that same year, the first sorority was founded, the local organization Alpha Sigma. In 1960, another men's fraternity, Sigma Pi, officially became a part of SSC's Greek Community. Not until five years later did SSC welcome it's second and third sororities. Both Theta Kappa and Zeta Beta were local women's organizations that became part of SSC in 1965. The very next year, 1966, SSC welcomed it's fourth National Men's Fraternity, Acacia. In 1968, as Theta Chi began at SSC, so did two other local women's organizations Delta Rho and Sigma Delta. The last organization to become a part of the SSC Greek Community in the 1960's was Kappa Sigma, a National Men's Fraternity. The next decade saw much growth in the Greek Community as it welcomed 7 more organizations to Shippensburg's campus. In 1971, Shippensburg's first National Sorority, Alpha Sigma Tau, was founded. Also in 1971, another local sorority, Lambda Tau was founded. In 1972, Delta Zeta came to Shippensburg as the second National Sorority. Also in 1972, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. was founded. In 1973, the first historically African-American men's organization was found here at Shippensburg in the local group of Alpha Beta Omega. In 1977, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. & Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. began. Both groups are members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council. In 1977 another first happened on campus, two organizations merged to make one. Zeta Beta and Lambda Tau merged to make one local group and renamed themselves Lambda Zeta Pi.
The 1980's began by recognizing the first national historically African-American men's organization, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. which was founded at Shippensburg in 1981. In 1982 Lambda Chi Alpha, a National Fraternity, was founded. In 1983, Shippensburg welcomed Pi Lambda Phi to campus. In 1984, Shippensburg State College became Shippensburg University, and it welcomed two more national organizations as the members of Lambda Zeta Pi helped form Alpha Omicron Pi, a National Women's Fraternity. In 1985 Phi Sigma Epsilon underwent a national merger with another National Fraternity, Phi Sigma Kappa. All Chapters of Phi Sigma Epsilon took the name of Phi Sigma Kappa including, the chapter here at Shippensburg. In 1986, three more organizations were founded on this campus; Pi Kappa Phi, a National Fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., an historically African-American Fraternity, and Kappa Tau Epsilon, a local women's organization. In 1987, the National Women's Fraternity Phi Sigma Sigma began its chapter here. The 1990's did not see as much growth as the other decades; however, six organizations were founded during this time. In 1991, Alpha Chi Rho, a National Men's Fraternity was founded, and Chi Gamma Iota began as a local men's organization. For the second time in Shippensburg's Greek Community, 1992 saw two local organizations merge to form a third, Alpha Phi, a National Women's Fraternity. In 1995, Delta Upsilon was founded, followed in 1996 by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. a historically African-American Fraternity. In 1999, Phi Delta Theta joined the Greek Community at Ship.
The 2000's saw even more growth for the Fraternity & Sorority Community. The first Latina based, multicultural membership organization was founded as a colony and that is Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. In 2004, an additional National Pan-Hellenic Council organization joined the campus. Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. was the seventh member of the NPHC at Shippensburg. In 2005, local organization Sigma Delta became Theta Phi Alpha. Additionally in 2005, Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. was founded. In 2006, Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc. an Asian interest organization was founded as well as the last local organization, Alpha Sigma, becoming Kappa Delta Phi NAS. In 2007, two organizations joined the fraternity and sorority community. The last NPHC organization to join the community was Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Also, the first multicultural fraternity was founded in the name of Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural Fraternity, Inc. In 2009, Kappa Beta Gamma, a national sorority, was founded through Theta Kappa. Also in 2009, Kappa Delta Phi a men's fraternity joined the community. The newest addition to Shippensburg's Greek community is Theta Xi which came in 2010.

After more than 3 comparisons to Diane Keatons Annie Hall i decided to blindly buy it outta the 9.99 bin at DVD Planet...I still am not sure if the comparison was a sly insult or compliment.
I gotta say though i really don't know how i've gone this long without seeing it
it was one of the sweetest films ive seen in awhile
I fell in love with Alvy he was really attractive to me..something about neurotic jews! and/or new yorkers
the qoutable one-liners are fun too
"I forgot my mantra!"
I imagine it woulda meant more to me if i was alive back in the 70s but still it's such a great movie to see.

Hello Jap3, I'm the lady who lives in France that OL mentioned. I didn't see this as I was on holiday in England, didn't have time or internet connection to read everything. Saint Yrieux is about 50 mins from me, I'm about 20 mins north east of Périgueux.
We moved to this house in 1990, no garden then, farmyard and field and unlived in for 6 years. But I was younger then! It was hard work, especially as we are in Perigord Blanc, known for it's limestone. Good luck with your garden.

The family of Michael Brown have said that the cop who shot him dead will 'feel the wrath of God's vengeance' after the officer claimed he was acting in self defense.
Sheryl Davis, Brown's aunt, told MailOnline that she believes Darren Wilson committed murder and that he will suffer retribution in a 'mighty way'.
She said that Wilson's actions were 'evil' and that he will be punished by a higher power for what he did - even if he is cleared.
The balance is gone; the hyenas have taken over.
Going back to the Bible verse quoted at the beginning, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," especially if it involves the Brown family fighting over who can legally peddle 'Michael Brown' swag to those forever chanting "Justice for Michael Brown" or "Black Lives Matter..." [Police investigating assault and theft following argument between Brown family relatives, Fox2Now.com, 10-23-14]:
In a recent statement, Michael Brown's mother asked that her son not be part of self-serving business or political actions as she pleaded that he be remembered for the good. A reported assault and theft this past weekend may dramatically underscore that sentiment.
It happened Saturday night, October 18th, at about 8:15 pm in the parking lot of Red's BBQ. It`s the corner of Canfield and West Florissant, just blocks from where Michael Brown was shot and killed.
Police sources tell us Brown`s Grandmother, Pearlie Gordon, along with Brown`s Cousin Tony Petty, were selling t-shirts and other Michael Brown merchandise.
A police report describes a car pulling up and several people getting out. One of those people, was reported to be Michael Brown`s Mom, Lesley McSpadden. A witness described McSpadden yelling 'You can`t sell this s%$&" One of the relatives, who was selling, reportedly demanded McSpadden show a document proving she had a patent.
The police report says that`s when an unidentified person with McSpadden assaulted Petty so violently that it resulted in a 911 call. A witness tells Fox 2 that the weapon was a metal pipe or pole. The suspect reportedly struck Petty in the face. Medics then took him to Christian Northeast Hospital. The witness said the assault suspect grabbed merchandise and a box of cash believed to contain about $1,400.
It appears surveillance cameras could have captured the fight and be part of police evidence. Police report no arrests at this time.
We reached out to the local Brown family attorney, Anthony D. Gray and he declined to comment.'You can`t sell this s%$&..."
Darren Wilson won't feel "the wrath of God's vengeance."
Just like the world after Scar led a successful coup and took over the Pride Land in The Lion King, enabling the hyenas in the process, the world of Ferguson and St. Louis after the Michael Brown black insurrection is truly a revolt against nature. Thankfully, the Brown family squabbling over who is authorized to hawk $20 "Michael Brown" shirts is a powerful reminder of how out balance things are in metropolitan St. Louis.
A circle of insanity has usurped the circle of life in America.

Medical profession calls for reform, saying that online consultations pose risk to customers
The medical profession has called for reform of the way that drugs are prescribed online after a Times Money investigation found that websites are selling potentially dangerous medicines at inflated prices without adequate checks.
Our mystery shopping exercise found that some websites will prescribe anti-obesity drugs to people who are already underweight and anti-impotence drugs to people on angina medicine; both scenarios could cause health complications. The sites offer remote "consultations" with doctors and charge up to £129.95 for prescriptions available for £7.20 on the NHS.
Our investigation also found that some of the websites were falsely claiming that their prescriptions were written by doctors registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). In fact, they were written by doctors registered in Eastern Europe. One of…

I want to replace my kitchen exhaust roof cap. Is there a standard roof cap for kitchen exhausts?
My exhaust fan is integrated with an over-the-range microwave. Looks like 6 or 8-inch galvanized duct (two elbows and about 8 feet of horizontal run). There is no backdraft damper currently. I'd like a backdraft damper and a bird screen, unless those are bad ideas.
I have a roof jack right now (looks like this but a lot older):
I've seen these low profile square vents. Home Depot explicitly states that they are for kitchen duct outlets, but are they the best choice?
These are the gooseneck styles. They include a backdraft damper, but does that impede airflow?
I like this cap, but I suspect it's not intended for exhaust ducting. More likely for a gas appliance like a water heater:
The attic space above the kitchen is sealed (the kitchen is built out from the 2-story house), so I can't install a damper in the ductwork. It's got to be in the roof cap or just above the fan (or not at all). The cap has to fit over the duct pipe, and there's no way to seal the connection joint (unless I take apart the kitchen ceiling).
Anyone else faced with this choice lately?

During the first ten years that followed "The Decade of the Brain", the quest of neuroscience for understanding brain function in health and disease has greatly expanded to include molecular, developmental, cognitive and evolutionary aspects of the nervous system. This increased multidisciplinary effort has been complemented by the spectacular development of highly sophisticated experimental methods. Neuroscientists can now perform studies ranging from molecular and imaging analysis of single pre- and postsynaptic neuronal processes to imaging of neural activity in the whole brain during perceptual and motor behavioral tasks. At the same time, theoretical advances in neuroscience have been aided by the rapid development of mathematical and computational simulations of biologically and functionally realistic single cells and complex neural networks across multiple spatiotemporal scales. Therefore, neuroscientists are more than ever in a position to deliver answers to basic, medical and biotechnological questions related to brain function and dysfunction.
The speedy growth of the neuroscience has manifested itself in the increasing volume of new data, experimental findings, and experimental approaches thus magnifying the need for fast dissemination routes to the science community. However, with print-based peer-reviewed journals the time from original submission of an article until subscribers can access that article averages about two years.

By Kevin Werner, News Staff

Even after 20 years in politics, Maria Pearson still finds fulfillment in solving residents' issues.

"I love it," said Pearson. "It's the face-to-face conversations (with residents) that I hope can make a difference."

Pearson last week registered to run for another four-year term to represent Ward 10, the earliest she has done that. Usually she puts her name forward in June.

"People were asking me if I was going to run," she said. "I kept tell them yes I am. My husband told me I should just get it over with."

Pearson, 58, served for nine years on Stoney Creek council. Then in 2003 she outlasted five other candidates to win her Ward 10 seat. Pearson was handily reelected in 2006 and 2010 by hefty margins.

See related story: Stoney Creek Citizen of the Year enters Ward 10 race

The veteran councillor is literally the city's pothole politician. Over the years Pearson has become well known for fixing her ward's streets, curbs, sidewalks and potholes.

In 2010, one of the issues going into the election was all councillors received money from provincial grants for capital projects. Some candidates called it a "slush" fund for incumbent politicians. Pearson used her $40,000 to build sidewalks along a few streets, including Frances Drive. She also took some criticism for having Margaret Avenue, where she lives, repaired. Pearson rejected criticisms of both projects, arguing they assisted the entire neighbourhood.

Four years later Pearson is still looking to get more streets improved in her ward, including Kilbourn Avenue and Pine Drive, the north side of the QEW, and hopefully Dewitt Road.

She is hoping the next term will see some work done on the massive Green Shores development proposal that was announced a few years ago. The roadwork has already been done on the property and the developers installed a breakwall.

She has also been shepherding a couple of controversial developments through the planning process, including a residential and commercial project on the north side of the QEW on former Ontario Realty Corporation land and another multi-residential development on Francis Drive.

"The projects are never ending," she said.

She would also like to get more transit to her ward. Although there is limited bus service along Arvin Avenue for the employees of the large manufacturing businesses, Pearson, who a few years ago took the bus from city hall to Stoney Creek every day, would like to see transit along both sides of the QEW, as people start going to the new Gateway Arena, and as empty buildings start filling up along the South Service Road.

"My dream is to have service throughout that area," she said.

One of council's major accomplishments this term was in 2011 when politicians found a compromise solution for area-rating. It kept in place the idea that if an area doesn't have services, such as transit, those residents wouldn't have to pay for them. Even though it's a leftover policy from amalgamation, it remained important for councillors to solve the issue that threatened to cause a serious divide among suburban and urban politicians.

"I'm happy how the process went," she said.

When Mayor Bob Bratina unexpectedly introduced the amalgamated debate during his State of the City address recently, Pearson wasn't pleased. It had the potential to create divisions among councillors.

"I didn't appreciate that," she said. "You don't just throw up a sheet of numbers (in a research report by a Western University professor)."

Over her time on the amalgamated council, politicians have worked hard to make the governance work, she said.

"I've seen the evolution of how things have gone," she said. "Look at all the programs we have. It's not like money is being frivolously spent."

95 525i trans program warning what to do
I have a 1995 525i and the trans program light came on what could cause this and what should i do. Thanks everyone.
"Transmission starts to slip (flare), there is a low "boom" from the tranny, and a "bing" from the dash.
Transmission locks in "limp" mode - 3rd gear so you can "limp" home or to your nearest dealer.
Message on Dash "TRANS PROGRAM - Consult Owners handbook".
NOTE: This only happens once the car has warmed up - usually after 15-30 minutes of good driving. The car is fine when still cold.
Procedure courtesy of Trevor Doornbos (prices in AU$).
Things to check before even contemplating a transmission overhaul:
Check electrics - Alternator and battery.
Replace DME Relay and Fuel Pump Relay - not expensive.
Remove disassemble, clean and reassemble gear selector switch - If it looks beyond saving, replace ($200)
Service the transmission ($130 from a specialist) and check/replace transmission speed sensor ($90)
Transmission speed sensor (Thanks to Doornbos, Trevor)
The above saved my bacon and a recommended $3,000 transmission rebuild.
My story (long) is below:
So you've finally bought an E34 (1989 535i) privately (you can't trust the car sharks) with an excellent maintenance record (receipts and everything).
Six cylinders of smooth power to push you effortlessly through the S-bends on your favourite road. A stab at the throttle and the tranny chops down for an extra surge of power to push you through the corner. Then it happens. "BOOM" from the tranny, "BING" from the dash. The tranny is now locked in limp mode which means that you're stuck in 3rd gear which isn't always the best gear to power out of a good flowing corner. You look down at the dash readout to see "TRANS PROGRAM Consult Owners Handbook". The good news is that you are a pretty experienced driver which means that you didn't end up over the hard shoulder and down in the creek with the eels.
The Owners Handbook. A positive wealth of information (not). "TRANS PROGRAM" to find the manual states "Take the car to your dealer". Now I ask you, if these Germans are so clever, why can't they just say "TRANS PROGRAM - Take Car to dealer".
That was the 3rd week of owning the car. What followed was amusing, at least in retrospect.
Over a period of 4-6 weeks I consulted 2 BMW dealers (service) in person, an auto electrician in person, 3 mechanics over the phone, 1 mechanic to analyse the problem, and 1 Transmission shop to do the work.
Initially I was in the dark, until I happened across the BMW E34 web forums. I'm in Sydney Australia, so was keen to make local contact. After some trial and error I made some local contact and was recommend to this site. Hoo-boy, have some others had some fun with Trans program.
Well, forewarned is forearmed. I bought replacement DME & Fuel Pump relays - no change.
Had an auto electrician check the battery and alternator - all fine.
Dismantled and cleaned the gear selector switch - better but still happening.
Cleaned and then replaced gear selector switch - still happening.
After consulting this forum, my contact in Sydney, and the Service rep at BMW Sydney the one conclusion was reached. Service the tranny and replace the Tranny Speed Sensor. This is a $90 part which should take the whole transmission service to around $220.
Couldn't get in to BMW Sydney as it was before Easter and they were totally booked out for 2 weeks. Tried a mechanic semi-referred to me. Decided that his diagnosis (that the 2nd & 3rd gear clutches were slipping so the tranny needed rebuilding and would cost me $3,000) was a bit off the mark.
Next decision was to try a Transmission Specialist. Took the car in and gave the guy the history. He took the car for a day just to check it out. His diagnosis was that the tranny was essentially running well, but the sensor or perhaps solenoids could be faulty. Left the car with him while away on business for a few days so he could have a really good look at it.
$220 later the tranny is purring like a kitten, okay maybe a tiger....
Drove the car yesterday for the first time after the problem was fixed. I have a 35 minute drive to work which is on lovely winding roads with a few gentle hills thrown in for good measure. When I got to work I almost turned around to head back home and do it again. Very happy.
I picked up my brand spanking new Bentleys 5 Series service manual yesterday. $200 from technical books in Cremorne (For you Sydney siders).
This book is the bible that so many forum resolutions keep referring to.
Forewarned is forearmed.
Buy beg borrow or steal a Bentleys manual.
Research on the forum and email a few knowledgeable sounding people for information/assistance. Everyone there is dedicated and loves to help.
Before you approach any mechanic, dealer etc, at least sound like you know what you are talking about. You are less likely to be hoodwinked by sharks.
Be specific on what work you want done (or not done). Agree on a fixed price, and get a couple of quotes. I recently had some work done on my house and ended up $5,000 out of pocket because I wasn't specific.
Treat your E34 like you would a baby. Don't leave it with just anyone. Get references, and interview them to make sure that they at least sound like they know what they are doing. If the 1st and only response you get is "Leave it with us and we'll see what we can do", Walk away!
Be patient. Unless your friends refer to you as "Mr Wallet", you can get hurt financially by the sharks and low-knowledge mechanics out there.
Thanks should go to:
Bruno for his excellent web site, and responding to questions regarding my problem. I'm hoping a section will be added soon with "TRANS PROGRAM". (bmwe34.net: here it is)
Geoff Hoad in Sydney who though I have never met him, went out of his way to help me. Other than many emails to and fro, Geoff faxing me wiring diagrams from the Bentleys (of which I now also own) to help the transmissions guy.
Donald Shakes at BMW Sydney (Service) who went above and beyond in helping me, including step by step instructions on how to replace the speed sensor.
This forum for being an excellent wealth of information.
Enjoy - Trevor.
Bob Ralph in the UK The stealer read the memory several times to help diagnose the cause it wasn't until someone else there said - "nothing in the memory? that means its the ECU". So I changed it and he was right.
I now know repairing ECUs is big business - except nobody could repair mine. I had to buy a used one - not easy to find considering my model is relatively rare. Changed the ECU and the TRANS PROGRAM code cleared.... Something else to think about.
Heres a tech tip from Anthony Waner: 91 525i if you loose reverse,,check out the following..the lock out valve located in the small pan on the drivers side is a magnetic switch, if you loose reverse for no reason first get this checked out ..cheap part from the dealer 46$ quick fix.

My 1991 535i has had the "Trans Program" error come up sporadically for about the past year. At first, all I had to do was shut the car off and wait a minute or two and it reset itself and everything ran fine. But as time went on, it was harder and harder to get it to reset. In my case, when the error message was not showing, the car shifted perfect. That lead me to
believe that the tranny was actually working fine. I just had some sort of intermittent electrical problem. So, I began checking things in the electrical system.
The tranny is controlled by a computer, just like the engine. Anytime there is a low voltage problem, or a problem with an electrical signal from one of the sensors, the tranny computer throws up the red flag (Trans Program message), and only allows you reverse and third gears in an attempt to save itself. Unless the computer resets the error, the car will remain driveable with only these two gears. Thats why the car takes so long to get moving when the error message is showing.
Before going into all the steps below, it really pays to find out if any error codes are stored in your engine computer. These codes may give you the real reason for the problem, as they eventually did for me. To learn how to download the stored codes, go to: http://www.bonnevillemotorwerks.com/fault.html. The reason this is important is because the engine sends signals to the tranny computer. In my car, it was a faulty signal from the throttle position sensor that was causing the problem.
You see, I had done all of the things below and continued to have the problem. Until one day, someone shared one of those priceless bits of information that cured my problem. Up to this point, the engine computer was kicking out a faulty throttle position sensor code. Well, I got out the Bentley manual, went through the diagnostics and concluded that the switch
was fine. Hum? Well, the aforementioned gentleman had had the same problem with the same fault code and had happened to run into one of those old, seasoned BMW techs who told him to check his connectors. In particular, he told him to actually locate the wires that sent the signal from the throttle position sensor to the engine computer and trace them to the connectors. Then, with the connector apart, he told him to bend the spades for those wires slightly so that they made better contact with the female side of the connector. So, he went home, found the correct spades, bent them, and the problem went away. Seems that one of those little spades just wasnt making good contact all the time. And every so often, it would loose contact and cause the Trans Program error to come up. So, I did exactly what he did. And guess what? My problem disappeared never to rear its ugly head again.
I will tell you that youll need a complete wiring diagram for your car to do this. It will show you how many connectors are in the circuit, what color the wires are, what number the wires are, and sometimes, where the connector is located. I know from my experience that the Bentley manual contains all the information youll need. But even with the correct wiring diagrams, it is hard to read those little numbers in the connectors.
Now, if your engine computer is not storing any codes, you may want to go through the steps below. First, youll want to check for low voltage issues.
Probably the first thing to do is have the battery and charging system checked. If the message comes up after an especially cold night, or after the car has sit for a few days, you may have a low battery. A good way to check for this problem is to take the car for a drive of a couple miles with the trans program limp home mode engaged. Unless your tranny really is
having mechanical problems, driving it with the Trans Program message showing should not hurt it. After a couple of miles, park it, wait a minute or two, and see if it starts up without the message. My car used to do this quite often after not having driven it for 3-5 days. Youll also want to check the fluid level, have the battery load tested and make certain the alternator is charging properly. Of course while youre checking the battery, make sure the terminals are all bright and shiny. If everything here appears normal, its time to move on.
Next, check the main power relay in the E-box (little covered box under hood in front of glovebox). The E-box cover has four screws that hold it down.
After removing the cover, youll notice a large box with a large connector right next to the firewall, which is the ABS control module. Now, next to it towards the front of the car are 2-4 small square plastic boxes. These are the relays. According to Bentley, the main relay is the one closest to the engine. To replace it, simply pull straight up. While you're in the e-box,
go ahead and take a look at all of the large connectors there. Again, according to Bentley, the one for the main engine computer is the one next to the relays but towards the front of the car. . The farthest one forward is the cruise control module. I actually cleaned each of the connectors and corresponding spades with alcohol. I also cleaned the large connector going into the tranny computer. On my 1991 535i, the tranny computer was located in the passenger side lower kick panel behind the speaker. Its easy to take out, but you do have to remove the glove box and peel back the sound deadening material to get at the screws. After cleaning all of these contacts, I also applied Pro-Gold, which is a electrical connection
conditioner. It is supposed to provide better conductivity. I purchased mine from Radioshak.com.
Next, take a look at the auto/manual shift switch near the shifter and the shifter lever position switch. Both of these switches can be accessed by removing the wood console piece. To do that, pry up the little strip with the PRNDL letters on it. Under it are two screws holding the black plastic piece that surrounds the shifter down. Once you remove those screws, youll need to remove the shift handle. If youll pull it back into the low gear position, youll be able to see the set screw located in the front edge. Loosen it and pull straight up on the handle to remove it. At this point, youll be able to remove the black plastic piece that surrounds the shifter. To remove it completely, unplug the connector going to the auto/manual
switch. Once youve got it out, youll have to remove the wood piece. Just to help you, you have to hook something under the front edge of the wood and lift up. I used a small allen wrench. Once you have the wood piece off, you ll see the large shift lever position switch. The auto/manual switch is the one attached to the black plastic piece you already removed. Thoroughly clean both switches with alcohol or some other solvent designed to clean electrical contacts. My switches were filthy. I will caution you that the removal and disassembly of the switches is not for the faint of heart. If you're not mechanically inclined, I'd recommend finding someone who was before starting.
There have also been some things written about replacing the speed sensor inside the tranny itself. I bought one but never got to put it in, since bending the spades fixed my problem. This job is supposedly a do-it-yourselfer. The gentleman who helped me with my problem also suggested removing the main wiring harness connector that goes into the drivers side
of the tranny. If you find trans fluid in the connection, it probably means that your seal has gone bad and you need to replace the tranny wiring harness. He said that hed had this problem on his car and had fixed it himself.
So there you go, About everything I know about this problem. Id been meaning to write all this down for a long time and finally did it tonight. After all the effort, Im going to save it. I might also e-mail it to a few BMW sites to see if someone will post it. Anyone whos done other things to cure this problem should post so that I can include it in this narrative"
wish it was that easy for me when mine happened. There was no servicing mine.. It needed rebuilt!
92 525i
01 330i
99 Trans Am WS6 (Just Sold)
Its okay...Mine needed to be rebuilt also.
im selling my 91 bmw 525i
WAAAHH! i dont wanna..
it just started to crawl n well i dont have the money to fix it so its going bye bye D;
Chan, though its ridiculous that you've replied to a post that's 5 years old, the detailed writeup above was worth reading through again. Please sell off your bmw since you don't have the money to fix it. But make sure it goes to a good owner, if not, part it out and sell it to other forummers.
My 1995 525i has had transmission programming problem off and on for about 6months... But finally went out. It will start off fine... Just have to push the throttle a little to get the car in motion. But after awhile the trans program light goes on and the D drive goes out and its like the car is in neutral if I am not on a freeway I can't get the car to move. Its almost as of the car wants to start in 3rd gear. I dont want to put much money into it if I am planning to sell it. I wanted to keep it and give it to my brother. But can't afford to pit hundreds if not thousands into a car that isn't with that much. Any help? Ideas? Sale price? (also radiator has a crack on reservoir) but that's a different issue)
Trans Program places the car in third gear and is only meant to get you home or to a service station. Driving it like that for the past 6 months mean a simple service such as replace the fluid and filter that may have corrected the problem will mow cost you big bucks since it sounds like the clutch packs are shot.

It started off as sensational pictures on the internet of an Audi parked upon a roof in the village of Houbu, Zhejiang Province. The poster had originally explained that the car was lifted up there by a crane because there was no more parking available on the street. Apparently, every time the driver wanted to go out, he would supposedly use a crane to lift the car back down.
The internet is strange. But real life is stranger.
A news report has confirmed the sighting of the car parked upon the roof with eyewitness reports, but has uncovered other reasons behind the penthouse parking.
A reporter tracked down the landlord of the building, who is named Wang Qin (a pseudonym). She confirmed the implausibility that there is, in fact, an Audi parked upon her roof and that it "belongs" to her son-in-law, a Mr Zhou.
Ms Wang explained that her son-in-law has borrowed several hundreds of thousands of Chinese Yuan from her, but has been unwilling to return it. Ms Wang explains herself as such:
"He always carries his car keys on him. One time, he called his friends over during the middle of the night and wanted to go out; however, I kept the car here the whole night long. Seeing that this method won't work for long, it was for the best that the car is put upon the roof."
Once the debt has been repaid, the car will be put back down on the ground, says Ms Wang, barring any Evel Knieval heroics.
Ms Wang has been unwilling to discuss other details of the case, details that may touch upon other roof top extra-curricular activities that have been deemed illegal.

RAYMOND VAN BARNEVELD produced the most impressive performance of the 2013 Ladbrokes World Darts Championship to date as he brushed aside Michael Smith in an 18-minute demolition.
The Dutch star, who claimed an emotional victory in last month's Grand Slam of Darts, dropped just one leg and ended the contest with a brilliant three-dart average of 108.31 - his highest in a World Championship.
He also landed eight 180s, hit seven perfect darts in one leg and finishes of 121 and 111, and will now play Brendan Dolan for a place in the last 16 as he bids to claim a sixth World Championship title.
"I feel like the happiest man in darts right now because I'm playing to a high standard and producing good averages," admitted van Barneveld, who admitted the win erased the memories of last year's first round loss to James Richardson.
"When I lost here in the first round last year, it was the most disappointing moment of my career. It gave me motivation for 2012 and my hard work on the practice board has been paying off over the last month or so.
"I've been watching the other matches at home before coming here and the impression I got is that everyone was looking scared and not playing to their potential - but this is the World Championship, so come and play your best game!
"I feel great and if I can keep playing at this level then I can beat anyone."
Smith, who had lost in straight sets to another Dutchman, Co Stompe, on his World Championship debut 12 months ago, held throw to win the first leg before van Barneveld recorded a fabulous 11-dart finish to take the second, which featured a 180.
Van Barneveld hit another maximum in process of taking the third leg in 13 darts before hitting double 16 in the next to win the set in style.
Van Barneveld continued his superb form at the start of the second set as he converted a 121 checkout, despite a 180 from Smith.
The five-time World Champion won the second leg with another 11-dart finish before beginning the third with back-to-back 180s to ignite hopes of a nine-darter.
The seventh treble 20 was successfully hit but the attempt at treble 19 was just off-target, ending van Barneveld's hopes of hitting his third nine-dart finish at Alexandra Palace, although he returned to land double 16 to move two sets clear.
Smith let three chances to win the first leg of the third set slip by and van Barneveld stepped in to hit double 16 before posting a 78 finish to move 2-0 up, and a 111 checkout for a 12-darter saw the Dutchman complete a fine performance.

ASCO Update: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
ASCO Update: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Maintenance With Rituximab Improves Response
In abstract #1175, Dr. John Hainsworth presented results on the treatment of
indolent low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with rituximab (Rituxan)
given as induction followed by maintenance cycles every 6 months. Sixty-two
patients were entered in this study from 1998 through 1999, and the response
rate is very favorable with minimal side effects. Interestingly, the response
rate has increased after additional maintenance courses of rituximab, and two
thirds of the patients are free of progression at 2 years for both follicular
and small lymphocytic histologies. The authors indicated that repeated courses
of rituximab at 6-month intervals improved responses in 30% of patients without
increasing the toxicity.
Early-Stage Primary Gastric Lymphoma
Abstracts #1186 and #1187, presented by Dr. P. Koch from Germany and Dr. B.
Pro from Texas, respectively, discuss results with regard to the treatment of
early-stage primary gastric lymphoma with nonsurgical therapies. Dr. Koch
presented an analysis of a database of about 370 patients and concluded that
primary chemotherapy or a combination of chemotherapy and irradiation is very
effective primary therapy and that surgery for these early lesions does not
improve outcome, but is associated with toxicity and morbidity due to the
effects of gastrectomy. Dr. Pro presented results on 45 patients treated with
chemotherapy, with or without radiotherapy for stage I and II gastric lymphoma.
Dr. Pro reported that 43 of 45 patients (95%) achieved a complete remission,
and the projected 5-year overall disease-specific survival was 90%.
Importantly, however, there were two treatment-related deaths (4%), one with
sepsis and the other with gastrointestinal bleeding, both of which were on
treatment. Dr. Pro concluded that chemotherapy with or without radiation
therapy is associated with high response rates and excellent survival in
early-stage primary gastric lymphoma, thus avoiding the complications of
Our impression from these two trials is that primary chemotherapy with or
without irradiation is a reasonable option for early-stage primary gastric
lymphoma. One has to be very careful, however, and individualize the therapy,
particularly in trying to avoid the risk of perforation and local bleeding.
These risks are real and need to be considered in a multidisciplinary approach
with close consultation with the gastroenterologist and the surgeon.
Primary Paranasal Sinus Lymphoma
Dr. Janessa Laskin from Canada (abstract #1188) presented results on the use
of central nervous system (CNS) chemoprophylaxis with intrathecal chemotherapy
in patients with primary paranasal sinus lymphoma. This disease is an uncommon
presentation of extranodal lymphoma that is associated with a high risk of CNS
involvement. Indeed, in this series of 44 patients analyzed retrospectively
since 1980, the authors observed that the risk of CNS recurrence or involvement
declined from 40% prior to the institution of intrathecal chemotherapy in 1984
down to only 8% after 1984. In fact, intrathecal prophylaxis was also
associated with an improvement in overall survival from 20% to 50%.

Sam Felder died on Thursday, April 11, following post-surgery complications, according to an announcement posted on "Sam's Supporters," a fundraising website formed to assist his family. Friends from across the country have been posting condolences, describing him as "an amazing person." He is survived by wife Julie and their young daughter.
Mr. Felder, a 33-year-old Menlo Park resident whose LinkedIn profile stated he worked at Facebook as a product design manager, was taken to a hospital in critical condition after the Nov. 18 crash, which occurred at Bayfront Expressway and Marsh Road.
The car's driver, a 33-year-old Union City woman, was determined not to be at fault, Menlo Park Police spokeswoman Nicole Acker said, after investigators found that the bicyclist, traveling east, ran a red light as the car was heading northwest with a green light.

Gareth Evans Set For Raid Sequel
Iko Uwais will be back to star
Actiontastic thriller The Raid doesn't even open here for a couple of months, but there's good news if you're already anticipating it – you won't have to worry whether it'll generate a sequel. Yes, the follow up is already being planned. In even better news, it'll be crafted by the director / star combo of Gareth Evans and Iko Uwais.
Evans has talked up the possibility of a sequel in several interviews, but there was no official word on the new film actually entering development. That all changed thanks to Sony Worldwide picking up various rights to the movie and pushing for more.
If you've yet to see the trailer or didn't read our story on the film, The Raid finds an Indonesian SWAT team getting trapped in a tower building in the middle of a Jakarta scum that is controlled by a crime lord. With no chance of backup, it's up to Uwais' officer and his team to fight their way out.
The sequel is fairly under wraps for now, but it's currently called Berendal, follows on from the events of the original, will shoot for around 100 days and boasts a significantly bigger budget. We'd much rather have more from Evans and co than watch an American remake, which is also being contemplated.
There's every chance you will walk out of The Raid on May 18 wanting to see more, and now you'll have the opportunity. Hooray!

Now that 3G is becoming a viable wide-area wireless solution, is it time to kiss Wi-Fi hotspots goodbye? Not likely. Both will be around for a long time, and each has its distinct advantages and disadvantages. For your company, the choice depends on budget and where and how often your users travel and need to connect.
[ Talkback: Is the hotspot era over? ]
For the average traveling business user, Wi-Fi is still convenient and inexpensive. The hardware is essentially free, as it's built into just about every notebook manufactured in the past three years. Availability is widespread and in just the locations most business users are likely to need it -- corporate offices, airports, hotels, and coffee bars -- and the bandwidth is hard to beat. Not to mention that the monthly subscription cost of Wi-Fi is roughly half that of a 3G account, and in a growing number of hotels and in some localities building municipal Wi-Fi, connectivity is virtually free.
The problem with Wi-Fi is that the service is decentralized and chaotic. Wherever you're traveling, you first have to find out where Wi-Fi is offered and then hope it's either free or falls into your subscription plan. If not, you're likely to pay somewhere between $8 and $12 for a day's usage, which can add up to more than a monthly 3G subscription if you're a frequent business traveler. Every corporate office has its own policies for visitor Wi-Fi access. And there are times when you end up fighting with dead spots, slow performance, and frequently dropped connections due to interference and overloaded access points.
The big enticement of 3G is its locally pervasive availability. If it's offered in your metro area, you don't need to look for a coffee bar or pirate someone's home connection. You can hook in from a park bench, a moving taxi, or a commuter train, and you'll always be using the same service and software. When you've tasted that kind of freedom, it's hard to give it up. Performance is a little slower than Wi-Fi, but because you're dealing with a closed network, 3G tends to be more consistent. The big difference for now is that upload performance is generally a fraction of download, whereas with Wi-Fi they're basically the same. If you intend to send a lot of large files, such as photos or videos, you'll notice the difference.
The cost of 3G is also high, with hardware averaging between $50 and $200 per laptop card and services averaging $60 per month for unlimited use. There are, however, volume discounts, lower-priced phone or BlackBerry-as-modem plans, and bundles with voice and Wi-Fi. If you're not in one of the major metro areas served by your carrier, you're basically out of luck, although you may be able to hook into a significantly slower 2.5G connection. And with 3G, you're talking about competition among a handful of providers who have sunk billions into their 3G investment, which may well mean higher prices down the road. Finally, the standards situation is a mess compared with Wi-Fi. Buy a notebook with 3G built in and you're essentially stuck with a single provider. Even then, you're in for a significant upgrade cost next year when your provider moves to the next version of its service.
On the other hand, as 3G becomes more ubiquitous, its flexibility and consistency will be hard to beat. If you're a frequent traveler who needs true mobility, with the option to connect just about anywhere, 3G is probably your answer. If you're like the rest of us, you may be relying on Wi-Fi for a long time.
Keep an eye out for mobile WiMax, or 802.16e, a fourth-generation wide-area wireless technology pushed by Intel and others, that uses that same logical link control standard as 802.11 but has greater range and performance -- from three to 10 miles, with speeds as fast as 30Mbps -- and replaces 802.11's contention-based architecture with one based on time slicing. WiMax is in its infancy, but the mobile standard was ratified by the IEEE in late 2005, interoperability testing has begun, and deployments are expected to start in the United States in 2007.

Sabres notebook: Call-up means quick turnaround for Ellis
Matt Ellis' weekend took him from the Frozen Frontier to the Frozen Offense.
The veteran forward made the quick jaunt down the Thruway to join the Buffalo Sabres for Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames after being recalled from the Rochester Amerks.
The 32-year-old Rochester captain scored the shooting-deciding goal in Friday's 5-4 outdoor win over Lake Erie in Frontier Field, and then found out he was coming to Buffalo in case Cody Hodgson couldn't play Saturday.
Hodgson took the warmup but didn't play and Ellis stepped in for 8 minutes, 43 seconds of the Sabres' 2-1 overtime loss to Calgary. Most of that was spent on a line with Ville Leino and Matt D'Agostini.
"I thought Matty played well for us, especially coming from a game last night and coming in here," said interim coach Ted Nolan, who attended the game in Rochester. "He's a smart player. He did what was asked of him. He competed hard and made some nice plays."
Ellis has played parts of the last five seasons with the Sabres, including 72 games for Buffalo's 2010 Northeast Division champions. He admitted it's been tough to watch the Sabres' dismal season from afar.
"I have a personal connection to most of the guys in this locker room, to the staff and to this community," Ellis said. "This is the community I still call home and I'm definitely connected. It's been a unique year to say the least.
"You talk to guys, hear the ins and outs and it has been hard to watch and know what some of my close friends have had to go through this season."
Ellis showed no ill effects from playing an afternoon game after the long outdoor game that ended after 10 p.m. the previous night.
"I've got plenty of energy if need be," he said. "I would have played at 10 o'clock this morning if I had the chance to."
As for Hodgson, Nolan said the Sabres will try to get him ready for Tuesday's visit by the Winnipeg Jets.
"He was pretty close," Nolan said. "Playing this game at 100 percent is tough enough so we're going to wait until he's healthy."
The Sabres also made Luke Adam and Mark Pysyk healthy scratches, with Brayden McNabb returning to the lineup. They didn't need to create a roster spot for Ellis because Mikhail Grigorenko is on loan to Team Russia for the World Junior Championships.
Cody McCormick played just 1:55 in the game, leaving for good with an upper-body injury that was apparently suffered on a 36-second shift in the second period. Nolan had no update on McCormick's status.
John Scott played just three shifts totaling 90 seconds and didn't play after taking an interference penalty at 7:53 of the first period as he chased down Calgary defenseman Shane O'Brien, who had dumped him in the Flames' zone a few seconds earlier.
It was Scott's third minor penalty in the last two games. Marcus Foligno played just one shift in the third period and OT after drawing three minor penalties.
Said Nolan: "You don't mind penalties but once they start getting lazy and you start grabbing people and cross-checking people for no reason, you're better off not playing."
The Flames had a goal wiped out with 18 seconds left in the first period because they had too many men on the ice. With Jiri Hudler in the penalty box, a delayed penalty was called on Buffalo's Marcus Foligno and goaltender Karri Ramo went to the bench for an extra attacker.
One problem: Two Calgary players jumped on the ice, giving the Flames six skaters when they were only entitled to five because they were short-handed.
Cracked Calgary coach Bob Hartley: "We tried to get two dollars for a loony."
Numerology on the Sabres' loss:
• It's 17 times in 33 games the Sabres have been shut out or held to one goal.
• The Sabres fell to 1-3 in overtime game-winners this season and below .500 all-time in them at 95-96.
• Sabres captain Steve Ott played a career-high 25:15 in the game, including 7:13 of special teams time. Ott had three hits but no shot attempts and has gone 12 games without a goal.
• Buffalo's third-period goal by Matt Moulson marked just the sixth time in 33 games the Sabres have scored first this season. Incredibly, the Sabres have not won any of those games, going 0-4-2.
• The Sabres have three goals on 104 shots on goal over the last three games, an absurdly low 2.88 shooting percentage.
The Flames snapped an eight-game losing streak in Buffalo, winning for the first time here since a 3-1 triumph in Memorial Auditorium on March 15, 1996. … West Seneca native Lee Stempniak played 18:52 and had four shots on goal for Calgary. … The Sabres will be off today and most of the players will be attending goaltender Ryan Miller's annual Catwalk for Charity event at Town Ballroom, which has a circus theme and is dubbed "Cirque du Sabres."

Academy system in Kent and Medway comes under fire
PUBLISHED: 09:00 01 April 2012
Education experts say there is no evidence to suggest academy status improves standards
Serious doubt has been thrown onto the future of the academy system as evidence reveals it has had little or no impact on the county's struggling schools.
In the most worrying cases, 'failing' schools which were turned into academies under the Labour government are continuing to underachieve with two highlighted among the worst performing in the country.
Honorary secretary of the Kent division of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) John Walder said the "buzz" surrounding academies simply covered up underlying problems.
"There is no evidence that just by becoming an academy schools will improve," he said.
"They may benefit from more money and new buildings but while they are living off the buzz the problems still remain.
"Schools that are on the up and become academies continue to go up, and schools that are down and become academies stay down. It makes no difference."
Schools that become academies are free of local authority control and have access to more funding.
But GCSE figures for the past three years show little improvements in academies in Kent and Medway with a handful failing to meet the Government target of 35 per cent of pupils achieving five good GCSEs including English and maths.
Archers Court Maths and Computing College became Dover Christ Church Academy in September 2010 but it has remained below the target at 28 per cent for the past two years.
Medway Community College and Chatham South School merged to become the Bishop of Rochester Academy in September 2010 and despite the change in status was exposed as one of the worst performing schools in the county this year, with just 16 per cent of its pupils achieving the benchmark of five good GCSEs.
The Isle of Sheppey Academy, which opened in 2009, met the target 35 per cent but was served a Notice to Improve by Ofsted earlier this year.
And in one of the most shocking cases, the Marlowe Academy, which replaced the Ramsgate School with a £30m rebuild in 2005, was this week put in Special Measures by Ofsted after inspectors said standards were well below the national average.
While the number of children gaining five good GCSEs had improved at the school, the figure only stood at 20 per cent in 2011 – well below the Government benchmark.
It is also the second time the school's failings have been exposed by Ofsted, after being served a Notice to Improve in October 2010.
The New Line Learning Academy in Maidstone, which opened in 2010, saw just 30 per cent of its pupils meeting the Government GCSE target – seven per cent down from the previous year.
All these are examples of old style academies, which were planned or opened under Labour.
Through education secretary Michael Gove's new system any school can become an academy and schools marked as outstanding by Ofsted were invited to apply first.
But education experts said it was unlikely to make any difference.
They stated that academy status did not change problems including social deprivation.
The Marlowe Academy's catchment area includes one of the most deprived wards in Kent and Mr Walder said while he did not want to comment specifically on the school, he admitted the £30m revamp five years ago was just a "tart-up" covering up problems.
"There is still the same social deprivation, becoming an academy doesn't change this," he said.
"There is no evidence anywhere to say turning into an academy improves the level of performance.
"I don't agree with the attack on the democratic schooling system. That's one of the problems here; schools which are not academies are democratically controlled and open to scrutiny.
"But who is accountable with academies?"
Mr Walder said he was also concerned about the knock-on impact where teachers may be put off from working in the county.
"When I talk to colleagues from outside Kent there is a reluctance to teach here because of the selective system," he said.
"Kent has a mish mash of a system and the addition of academies is just muddying an already muddied pot.
"Academies are also failing to recognise the importance of unions and if they refuse to recognise this, staff could find themselves in considerable trouble and there's not a lot we can do.
"It would mean children being served by demoralised and frightened teachers."
Gravesend-based education expert Peter Read said he could not see how becoming an academy would have any impact on performance.
"Unless there has been unsatisfactory leadership in the past and leadership improves, I can't see how it has an affect," he said.
"The assumption that turning a school into an academy would improve standards proved to be false and the Marlowe Academy and Isle of Sheppey Academy underline that."
He added: "The big issue is that parents don't want to send their children to these schools; the Marlowe is half empty and over half empty for the coming year. These schools aren't viable."
Mr Walder and Mr Read would not be drawn into commenting on whether part of the problem was down to academies being run by companies and sponsors with no education experience.
However, Mr Read said while some people have experience in management, they are not necessarily used to managing schools.
Corporate director for education, learning and skills at Kent County Council Patrick Leeson said when an academy approaches the authority for help it provides them with support.
"If an academy was in need of any support for improvement, their first port of call would be their lead sponsor or trust.
"Where an academy approaches us for advice or support we provide them with all the support and guidance at our disposal."
A Department for Education spokeswoman defended academies and said they were improving at twice the rate of other schools.
But she admitted results in a minority remained "stubbornly low".
"We will not tolerate underperformance year after year – academy or not. We are taking tough action on all underperforming schools," she said.
"In March 2011, the Secretary of State required the sponsors of all academies below the 2010 floor standard to provide plans on how they were going to make rapid and sustained improvements. This request included a number of sponsored academies in Kent.
"In 2011, the number below the floor standard or in Ofsted category fell from eight to five."
Commenting on The Marlowe Academy, she said: "The strategies and actions put in place by the academy Trust since September, including working with another strong sponsor are beginning to have an impact and the quality of teaching and learning at the academy is improving.
"We will continue to monitor progress at the academy on a monthly basis."

BYLER AND MEYER LEADING THE WAY: As expected a pair of juniors are leading the Wolf Pack offense this season.

He is second in hits (38), at bats (128), total plate appearances (153) and multiple hit games (12). In three categories; sacrifice flies (2), batting average (.297) and doubles (8) he is tied for second.
FAIN AND NOWACZEWSKI COMBINE ON SHUTOUT: Sophomore Michael Fain and freshman Mark Nowaczewski combined on Nevada first shutout of the season as the Pack blanked San Diego State 8-0. Fain tossed 7.2 shutout innings and Nowaczewski pitched the final 1.1
Fain tied his career-high with six strikeouts in the game and allowed just five hits throwing 109 pitches. Nowaczewski did not allow a hit and struck out one.
Against Air Force Fain pitched the first complete game of his career in the Pack's 5-1 victory. Nevada's closer last year Fain moved into the rotation this season and is 4-2 with a 2.28 ERA.
Fain allowed just one run on four hits to the Falcons and struck out four. He tossed four shutout innings before AF scored a run in the fifth then did not allow another run. The final 13 batters of the game were retired by the right-hander. Three of the Falcons four hits came in the fifth inning.

We posted this review when the album was released to iTunes, but the band is happy to announce the official release on CD worldwide
It's been years since a record has been so aptly titled. Alone, its self awareness encapsulates the rawness of the feelings seemingly behind the creation/and or inspiration behind the record. There is a sweet melancholy about the new album from The Morning After Girls that makes it listenable, and not because they're freakin' vulnerable, or some other catchy phrase clogging the blogosphere, but rather it is because they sound honest.
It would be difficult to ignore, in this point and click existence of ours, that some of us feel more disconnected at times than wired in. We may spend countless hours glued to the MAC or PC fed flat panel, but those connections, while endless, can not give us the physical connection we must have in order to truly live. The Morning After Girls have taken their internal wiring, exposed it, then patched and soldered together a collection of songs that seem to represent how many of us have been feeling of late: Isolated, yet overwhelmed. There is however, a surprisingly relaxed sense of things on Alone, which makes it not entirely morose and beautiful, just beautiful.
The thirty second intro track is pure, heady Spiritualized noise rising to pull the listener in and they continue that cosmic journey with "The Best Explanation". The single; "General Public" (as mentioned in the Advance EP article) has this infectious, cascading melody to it, and the lyrical flow captures our collective disconnect. The title track blasts emotions of, well, being Alone (no surprise there, and no pun intended) in a melodic kaleidoscope chorus of phrases like "I feel Alone but I've never been closer". They drive their feeling home through their rhythms. They flex their Spaceman 3 skills and appreciation on "Death Processions". "Still Falling" combines the sway of Mojave 3 with the sweet ease of the Cowboy Junkies. The eerie string work on the intro to "Who Is They" sounds like a slice of the Kronos Quartet of Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, and the thudding bass line and incremental guitar rifts that follow capture the peak of that film's energy and mix it with an uplifting vibe sounding a bit like The Verve (vintage however, like Northern Soul Verve).
At the risk of sounding repetitious (a line plucked from the advance EP review): This is vital mood music for the disenfranchised. Their sound is pleasingly visual, and while making so many comparisons may seem to detract from the artist's message and originality, it is a part of the job. Trying to paint a picture of somebody else's' art while trying to wholly appreciate it can be tricky at times. It can also be difficult to review a record when you truly love it right away. You feel strongly about it, and so having to spend time making comparisons can draw you away from the magic of the music itself. That was no problem for this music lover when it came to enjoying Alone. I feel privileged to have been turned on to The Morning After Girls, and I look forward to hearing more from them.
* We received a pre-release version of the record as a digital download, so I'll be doing a follow-up on the sonic commentary when we have something more than 192k files. It is the music that matters first isn't it?
