Northanger Abbey, Austen's first novel completed for publication, tells the story of seventeen-year-old Catherine Morland, a passionate and headstrong young woman with a fondness for Gothic novels. Away from home for the first time in her life, and with only her reading to guide her, Catherine finds herself suddenly thrown into the adult world-a world bristling with possible intrigue, romance, and suspense. Northanger Abbey can be enjoyed as a parody of the Gothic romance novels in vogue at the time Austen began her own writing career. Or it can be savored as a delightful comedy of manners and a cautionary tale. For in the education of Catherine Morland, the novel explores the mercurial relationship between appearance and reality, literature and life-and in the process raises questions about its own fictionality.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter I
No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine. Her situation in life, the character of her father and mother, her own person and disposition, were all equally against her. Her father was a clergyman, without being neglected, or poor, and a very respectable man, though his name was Richard—and he had never been handsome. He had a considerable independence, besides two good livings—and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters. Her mother was a woman of useful plain sense, with a good temper, and, what is more remarkable, with a good constitution. She had three sons before Catherine was born; and instead of dying in bringing the latter into the world, as any body might expect, she still lived on—lived to have six children more—to see them growing up around her, and to enjoy excellent health herself. A family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number; but the Morlands had little other right to the word, for they were in general very plain, and Catherine, for many years of her life, as plain as any. She had a thin awkward figure, a sallow skin without colour, dark lank hair, and strong features;—so much for her person;—and not less unpropitious for heroism seemed her mind. She was fond of all boys' plays, and greatly preferred cricket not merely to dolls, but to the more heroic enjoyments of infancy, nursing a dormouse, feeding a canary-bird, or watering a rose-bush. Indeed she had no taste for a garden; and if she gathered flowers at all, it was chiefly for the pleasure ofmischief—at least so it was conjectured from her always preferring those which she was forbidden to take.—Such were her propensities—her abilities were quite as extraordinary. She never could learn or understand any thing before she was taught; and sometimes not even then, for she was often inattentive, and occasionally stupid. Her mother was three months in teaching her only to repeat the "Beggar's Petition;" and after all, her next sister, Sally, could say it better than she did. Not that Catherine was always stupid,—by no means; she learnt the fable of "The Hare and many Friends," as quickly as any girl in England. Her mother wished her to learn music; and Catherine was sure she should like it, for she was very fond of tinkling the keys of the old forlorn spinnet; so, at eight years old she began. She learnt a year, and could not bear it;—and Mrs. Morland, who did not insist on her daughters being accomplished in spite of incapacity or distaste, allowed her to leave off. The day which dismissed the music-master was one of the happiest of Catherine's life. Her taste for drawing was not superior; though whenever she could obtain the outside of a letter from her mother, or seize upon any other odd piece of paper, she did what she could in that way, by drawing houses and trees, hens and chickens, all very much like one another.—Writing and accounts she was taught by her father; French by her mother: her proficiency in either was not remarkable, and she shirked her lessons in both whenever she could. What a strange, unaccountable character!—for with all these symptoms of profligacy at ten years old, she had neither a bad heart nor a bad temper; was seldom stubborn, scarcely ever quarrelsome, and very kind to the little ones, with few interruptions of tyranny; she was moreover noisy and wild, hated confinement and cleanliness, and loved nothing so well in the world as rolling down the green slope at the back of the house.
Such was Catherine Morland at ten. At fifteen, appearances were mending; she began to curl her hair and long for balls; her complexion improved, her features were softened by plumpness and colour, her eyes gained more animation, and her figure more consequence. Her love of dirt gave way to an inclination for finery, and she grew clean as she grew smart; she had now the pleasure of sometimes hearing her father and mother remark on her personal improvement. "Catherine grows quite a good-looking girl,—she is almost pretty to day," were words which caught her ears now and then; and how welcome were the sounds! To look almost pretty, is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life, than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.
Mrs. Morland was a very good woman, and wished to see her children every thing they ought to be; but her time was so much occupied in lying-in and teaching the little ones, that her elder daughters were inevitably left to shift for themselves; and it was not very wonderful that Catherine, who had by nature nothing heroic about her, should prefer cricket, base ball, riding on horseback, and running about the country at the age of fourteen, to books—or at least books of information—for, provided that nothing like useful knowledge could be gained from them, provided they were all story and no reflection, she had never any objection to books at all. But from fifteen to seventeen she was in training for a heroine; she read all such works as heroines must read to supply their memories with those quotations which are so serviceable and so soothing in the vicissitudes of their eventful lives.
From Pope, she learnt to censure those who
"bear about the mockery of woe."
From Gray, that
"Many a flower is born to blush unseen, "And waste its fragrance on the desert air."
From Thompson, that
——"It is a delightful task "To teach the young idea how to shoot."
And from Shakspeare she gained a great store of information—amongst the rest, that
———"Trifles light as air, "Are, to the jealous, confirmation strong, "As proofs of Holy Writ."
That "The poor beetle, which we tread upon, "In corporal sufferance feels a pang as great "As when a giant dies."
And that a young woman in love always looks ——"like Patience on a monument "Smiling at Grief."
So far her improvement was sufficient—and in many other points she came on exceedingly well; for though she could not write sonnets, she brought herself to read them; and though there seemed no chance of her throwing a whole party into raptures by a prelude on the pianoforte, of her own composition, she could listen to other people's performance with very little fatigue. Her greatest deficiency was in the pencil—she had no notion of drawing—not enough even to attempt a sketch of her lover's profile, that she might be detected in the design. There she fell miserably short of the true heroic height. At present she did not know her own poverty, for she had no lover to pourtray. She had reached the age of seventeen, without having seen one amiable youth who could call forth her sensibility; without having excited one real passion, and without having excited even any admiration but what was very moderate and very transient. This was strange indeed! But strange things may be generally accounted for if their cause be fairly searched out. There was not one lord in the neighbourhood; no—not even a baronet. There was not one family among their acquaintance who had reared and supported a boy accidentally found at their door—not one young man whose origin was unknown. Her father had no ward, and the squire of the parish no children.
But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.
Mr. Allen, who owned the chief of the property about Fuller- ton, the village in Wiltshire where the Morlands lived, was ordered to Bath for the benefit of a gouty constitution;—and his lady, a good- humoured woman, fond of Miss Morland, and probably aware that if adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad, invited her to go with them. Mr. and Mrs. Morland were all compliance, and Catherine all happiness.

I have been a big Jane Austen fan since I first read Pride and Prejudice as a ten year old. Since then, my love has only grown. I thought that nothing could top Pride and Prejudice, then I read Northanger Abbey. I love this book! It is funny, sweet, has good morals, endearing characters, and everything else that a good novel needs. I would recommend this to anyone who loved Pride and Prejudice or wished that Persuasion had a bit more spice. It is perfectly lovely, and a piece of work worthy of recognition. Put this in your personal library and read it again and again!
What seasoned Austen readers know is that Northanger Abbey is written almost entirely in a satirical vein. It is one of Jane Austen's finest displays of wit throughout her writing, poking fun at gothic novels and embellishing with zest. Readers who are only familiar with a few of Austen's works, like the more mainstream Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility, may thus be confused by difference in tone of Austen's first novel. It is a splendid way to familiarize oneself with all of Austen's work. Five stars.
Very hard to read. Lots of extra, odd letters and punctuation thrown in. I can't figure out how they got it so wrong. I finally gave up on reading it.
This book, as even Austen herself would surely admit, does not particularly align with her other novels. It certailny resembles them in regards to the general plot (of woman meets man, something/someone comes between woman and man, eventually woman and man are together) but, as is also the custom with all of Austen's works, bears striking distinction. Northanger Abbey is a book about books, or more specifically the Gothic novels or other fantastic fiction. Perhaps to certain eyes characters in it may seem flat and consequently unappealing. But it is only because Austen had written this as a parody of sorts, making the novel seem as though written for those accustomed to reading Gothic novels themselves, though really for people who expect OTHERS would take everything in the book seriously. She wants her readers to share her own humors with her, and even points out her intentions by reminding her readers: that THESE chracters are characters, and only that. Personally, I should recommend it to any appreciative of both Gothic novels themselves and Austen's playful approach to dealing with people who think every time a candle goes out in the night, a knife follows with it.
There is a problem, and I hope B&N fixes it soon. The nookbook download is not of Northanger Abbey but of Penguin's edition of Cicero's Selected Writings...
It was not converted well. Lots of symbols and misspelled words. Pretty useless for reading.
Northanger Abbey is a fun book to read. It has very colorful characters and when reading it i could see them come to life in my head. Catherine Morland is an interesting and humorous character. She has an imagination that makes for great reading. I recommend this book to anyone who wants an entertaining read
One of Jane Austen's lesser known novels; but still a very good read. The heroine is a bit more fanciful than other Austen characters; but it's interesting to see her discuss/read novels that were popular during that time. Also, the hero doesn't really resist falling in love with her. In fact, the fact that she admits that she favors him makes him like her all the more. This combined with family intrigues, the adventure of discovering a new place (Bath), and Catherine's imagination running away from her at times makes for a fun, slighty mysterious read. Enjoy!
This is not Austen`s best novel, but it is sweet and delightful, and witty as ever. It is not my favourite book by Austen, and I suppose I might have enjoyed it more, had I read it when I was younger. The story is about a young and rather immature girl, who reads too many romantic and ghost stories. On a visit to Bath, she befriends the Tilneys. Father Tilney is very overbearing and strict, his oldest son is a scoundrel, but his two other kids, the charming, funny and intelligent Henry and his lovely sister make up for the other two. Catherine, our young heroine receives an invitation to the Tilney house, hich is rather ancient. She suspects that there are dark secrets lurking behind the family facade ...but are there really or is it simply her imagination? You have to read it to find out. It is actually a very funny story. You don`t feel the same love and understanding for the heroine, as you do for Liz Bennett, but Austen intended it that way. Like all her novels, it is a coming of age story, where the main character learns more about herself than she ever expected. Recommended.
This is actually one of Austen's first works, she kept it for fifteen years, polishing it. It is her lightest work but it is still very good. Our heroine is Catherine, she is a rather silly young girl who has read too many gothic romances. "The Mysteries of Udolpho" in particular has turned her silly head. She seems to see a gothic mystery everywhere she looks. Catherine soon learns that the world is not all melodrama and eventually matures and marries a very sensible man. What keeps Catherine likable is her capacity to learn from her mistakes. She is certainly the least mature of Austen's heroines but she is never boring. This is a marvelous book to start with if you want to get into Jane Austen, it does not have as many characters or subplots as her other works and it is very breezy.
Who knew a vacation trip could turn into such an important event for one girl's life. From the moment the heroine is introduced, up to the very end she is delightful, naïve and fun. The men who come in and out of the tale are a little shady, self centered and of course cause more harm to the poor girl than good in some cases. A delightful visit into another Jane Austen book. I love the interactions between all of the characters, large and small they each bring light, laughter and fun to the tale. The settings shifting through out the book are detailed, fitting and absolutely fabulous. I really want to visit a real abbey some day just to see.it is also thrilling to have a heroine who is balanced between to smart for her own good, and so dumb every step is an accident. The personalities of the other girls in the book bring out the unique qualities of the heroine and show case her in a brilliant light. A very good short read.
I plugged one of the gaps in my education by reading this novel by Austen for one of our book groups. My wife described it to me as not as good as her other books, and I have to agree. Catherine Morland and Henry Tilney are quite interesting as the lovers, but there simply are not enough obstacles in the way of their being together. The perception of Catherine as being rich is not really sufficient as a plot device, especially since the reader learns about her family very early in the story. I also found the long descriptions of life in Bath to be rather tedious after a while, although the satire on gothic novels when the story moves to Northanger Abbey itself is quite interesting. By the way, we visited Bath in 2005 and found it quite interesting.
(Sorry if I spell something wrong.) I thought the story was good but needed a lot of editing.
Padded in next hoping not to get caught by Twolegs
*crept in and saw Sunheart* "Sunheart!" *she whisper yelled*
If you are interested in the connecting stuf.
She wok up.
Awesome....!Beautiful....!Wonderful....!I really enjoy it.....!
Not so famous but a great read just the same. I cannot get enough of Jane Austen.
This is a great novel.

My Reasons for Reporting This

Once the Magic pixie dust settles, the debate kicks up on how the pending sale of the Dodgers really makes the franchise stand as a long-term, financially solvent business in Los Angeles.
The numbers tossed around - $2.15 billion or more, which will go down as the most ever paid out for a sports franchise in North America - just don't add up on face value, according to droves of sports business experts.
Not for a team whose worth is listed at $1.4 billion, according to Forbes. And that was reached even after factoring in a boost in the team's worth based on a pending local TV rights deal that has yet to be completed.
What are we missing that Magic Johnson and something called the Guggenheim Baseball Management LLC knows, and outgoing Dodgers owner Frank McCourt stands to profit from?
"If you're just buying the Dodgers based on a traditional transaction, it's nowhere near that value," said David Carter, the executive director of the USC Sports Business Institute. "But it's because they didn't buy a baseball team, they bought a team that happens to anchor a lot of opportunity to make money from TV to real estate to converting Chavez Ravine into an entertainment center.
"One way to think of it is that the Dodgers are the hardware that McCourt just sold, and the software will be the TV and all the other pieces that come with it.
"Now it's just a matter of whether they can get their money back."
Dr. Mark Rosentraub, the co-director of the Michigan Center for Sport Management at the University of Michigan, put it this way:
"Usually you run a 10- or 20-year model to see how an investment can work. Some of my colleagues ran a 100-year model and were able to conclude that even if the Dodgers hit the average percentage growths that Major League Baseball has traditionally done - and that's something that really cover a lot of sins - it doesn't make sense. Especially when you've got hundreds of million of stadium expenses coming up, and you're in a market that competes with the Angels.
"Right away, it looks like a cash negative. Can you generate revenue that makes it work? There is a lot of stress in this deal. There must be something we don't know."
There are some media experts who predict a regional TV sports deal, coming from a bidding war between likely candidates Fox Sports Net and Time Warner Cable that could be in the $4 billion range, spreading out over decades.
McCourt had what he said was an offer from FSN's Prime Ticket that went for as much as $3 billion covering 17 years, but baseball commissioner Bud Selig refused to approve it based on too much of that up-front money going back into McCourt's personal account. Selig also thought the value of that deal was not a good business transaction based on how TV rights could increase even more than that at some point sooner.
Adding to the whole scenario is the fact the winning bid by people who are considered to be otherwise smart businessmen, pending the closing process in bankruptcy court, will also include McCourt as a business partner, teaming up with "certain affiliates of the purchasers" to form a joint venture that will buy up Chavez Ravine property for $150 million more and eventually develop it.
"McCourt's track record isn't great," added Rosentraub. "How can anyone work with him without getting into a lawsuit? That's got to be a factor."
The Guggenheim group, led by insurance fund expert Mark R. Walter, was the one of the three ownership partnerships that Major League Baseball approved for McCourt to pick as the new Dodgers owner. Once that was determined Tuesday, McCourt closed the deal quickly, and there has been no indication yet as to how much Guggenheim outbid the other two - one was St. Louis Rams and Denver Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke, and the other was led by hedgefund billionaire Steven Cohen and biotech billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong.
Carter says the wild card in this whole deal is how Anschutz Entertainment Group reacts.
"You can imagine that nothing happens without their imput, and AEG can't be thrilled that their buddy Magic Johnson all of the sudden is involved in rolling out retail that could fight with the traffic they've generated already at L.A. Live," Carter said.

Afghan candidate withdraws from audit of presidential vote
Published 5:58 pm, Wednesday, August 27, 2014
Kabul --
One of the two presidential candidates in Afghanistan's disputed election pulled out of an internationally supervised audit of the results Wednesday.
Aides to Abdullah Abdullah, a former foreign minister, walked out of the Independent Election Commission's headquarters here after a series of technical demands about the audit, made by his campaign aides Tuesday, went unmet.
U.N. officials supervising the process then asked Abdullah's opponent, Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, to also withdraw from the audit so it could continue with only international and independent observers present, giving neither campaign an unfair advantage. Daud Sultanzoy, head of the Ahmadzai campaign's audit team, said its observers would accede to the request.
Latest news videos
It was not immediately clear whether Abdullah would accept the eventual results of the audit, which U.N. officials have described as the most exhaustive the world body has ever undertaken. Abdullah demanded the audit after finishing as runner-up in the June 14 runoff, which he said had been marred by fraud. In the first round of voting in April to elect a successor to President Hamid Karzai, Abdullah was first.
Both Abdullah and Ahmadzai pledged to Secretary of State John Kerry that they would accept the audit's conclusions about who had won the election and then would form a government of national unity including officials from both campaigns.
But it was unclear Wednesday whether Abdullah planned to keep that commitment. He had yet to make a comment on the matter, but statements from his aides have been negative. On Tuesday, his chief auditor, Fazul Ahmad Manawi, said that if the campaign's demands for changes to the audit were not met, Abdullah would pull out of both the audit and the broader election process.
U.N. officials have said that both candidates had agreed to the terms and conditions of the audit, but they were willing to consider changes.

One Bad 'Guilt Trip'
It's difficult to decide who to hold responsible for the new Barbra Streisand/Seth Rogan film, "The Guilt Trip." There is plenty of guilt to go around.
Andy Brewster (Rogan) is a chemist who developed a natural cleaning product from renewable resources. He's sunk his last pennies into the project and has been making the rounds of large retailers hoping to sell it.
He's about to go on one last cross country sales trip before throwing in the towel. After flying to New Jersey, Andy is staying at his mother's home and plans to leave from there on the eight-day journey. At the last minute, he invites his widowed mom, Joyce (Streisand), to accompany him.
And there you have the template for what no doubt was intended to be a heart-warming voyage of discovery, where mother and son find common bond and understanding. But "The Guilt Trip" breaks the mold — and not in a good way.

Thieves Target License Plates, Registration Stickers
Do you know where your license plate is this morning? That question isn't as dumb as it seems.
Police say we're seeing more license plates theft in the Sacramento region.
In fact, a CHP officer tells a local TV station that thieves most likely want to get your registration sticker.
He says the idea is usually to either disguise a stolen car or use the registration sticker to avoid paying for one of their own.
Replacing your plate and sticker will cost you about $20.
If your plate is stolen you're required to tell the police and the DMV.
Otherwise you could have explaining to do if your plate or sticker are traced to a crime committed with the car to which they're transferred by the thieves.
It's suggested you use special screws to attach your plate -- they can bought at automotive stores -- and deter the thieves.

Philippine Coast Guard
|ADM. Damian L. Carlos
The Philippine Coast Guard (Tanod Baybayin ng Pilipinas) is the coast guard of the Philippines.
The PCG is involved in the broader enforcement of maritime laws in the country, especially against smuggling, illegal fishing and drug trafficking. Also, it is involved in maritime search and rescue (SAR) missions, as well as the protection of marine environment. Currently it is present throughout the archipelago, with ten (10) Coast Guard Districts, fifty-four (54) CG Stations and over one hundred ninety (190) CG Detachments, from Basco, Batanes to Bongao, Tawi tawi.
Its Major Units are the Coast Guard Operating Forces (CGOF), Marine Environmental Protection Command (MEPCOM), Aids to Navigation Command (ANC) and the Coast Guard Education and Training Command (CGETC). Among the PCG's Special Units are the Coast Guard Fleet, Coast Guard Aviation Group, Coast Guard Special Operations Group, and the CG K-9 Unit.
Due to the rash of terrorist attacks, the PCG activated the Task Force Sea Marshals, a composite team from the PCG, AFP and PNP. These Sea Marshals ride on many passenger ferries travelling to and from Manila, and maintain a security presence aboard these ferries. It is headed by the commandant, Rear Admiral Damian L. Carlos PCG. who is supported by Read Admiral Danilo A. Abinoja PCG, the deputy commandant.
Special Operations Group
The Philippine Coast Guard's Special Operations Group is the special forces wing of the Philippine Coast Guard. It is a domestic counter-terrorism and law enforcement unit directly under its control, particularly notable for their involvement in the Superferry 14 Disaster.[1]
Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary
The Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian support group for the Philippine Coast Guard. Although a volunteer, civilian organisation, the PCGA uses a military structure for organizational purposes. Like other volunteer sea rescue organisations around the world, it performs non-military and non-police activities in support of its national navy or coast guard. These endeavors include search and rescue, environmental protection, disaster relief, community service, and marine safety.

WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney was a mere 15 years old when he made his first campaign-trail gaffe.
On the stump during his father's first gubernatorial bid in Michigan, Romney let loose the family secret: "It's really fun to be here in the United States for the Fourth of July for the first time!" an ecstatic Mitt Romney told the crowd during a town celebration.
The Romney family, after all, had a tradition of spending Independence Day at its vacation home in Canada, according to a Boston Globe story. Not something you necessarily want to tout when trying to show off your family's patriotism.
The young Romney soon learned the ways of the campaign stump speech, a lesson he is now passing on to his children as he makes his bid for the White House.
Mitt Romney's eldest son, Taggart - or Tagg, for short - left his job as the chief marketing officer of the L.A. Dodgers to work full-time on his father's campaign, and two other sons, Josh and Craig, are working on it part time.
For the Romneys, this campaign is a family effort.
"I think it is important to have us out there . . . talking to people and letting them know what he's like," says Tagg, 37. "There is nothing more important to me than having our country led by a good person who is extremely confident. I think that person is my dad."
Family members have been a common sight on the campaign trail for many presidential candidates. Al Gore's daughters, Kristin and Karenna, joined him on the stump in 2000, as did John Kerry's kids in his 2004 White House bid. President Bush's twin girls, Jenna and Barbara, were prominently featured in both his presidential campaigns.
This time around, other kids are integral to the race.
John Edwards was quoted in the Des Moines Register saying he plans to hire a tutor so his kids can miss school and join the family on the campaign trail, and Barack Obama said recently he brought his daughters to Iowa with him.
John McCain's two sons are active-duty military, but his eldest daughter has campaigned for him in New York, where she's attending school, and may join her dad to visit key states later this year, his campaign says.
Rudy Giuliani already has faced questions about his son, Andrew, who is estranged from his father and not likely to campaign for him.
Romney, however, is doing his best to show off a traditional family as he campaigns as a conservative with values the American people want in a president. His campaign launched a new Web site, fivebrothers.mittromney.com, which features a blog by Romney's five sons, along with links to their Myspace.com profiles.
For Tagg Romney, the decision to leave Los Angeles and a top job with a premier ball club was a tough one. But now that he's back home, down the street from his dad's place in Belmont, Mass., he says the move was the right one.
A graduate of Brigham Young University and Harvard Business School, Tagg Romney has himself been mentioned as a possible future candidate. But for now, his unpaid spot on the campaign means crisscrossing the country, meeting with potential supporters, glad-handing donors and heralding his father at every opportunity.
"He's extremely intelligent, highly energetic," Tagg says. "He doesn't see the brick walls, he just runs right through them."
For candidates, putting their children on the campaign trail can be tricky, says Gil Troy, a professor of history at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. He's written several books about the presidency, including See how they ran: The changing role of the presidential candidate.
There are pluses and minuses to bringing your kid on the trail or sending one out as a surrogate, Troy says.
"For the image side, on one hand, as with the candidates' wives, candidates' kids are valuable props," he says. "They convey, without having to get involved in any complex cultural wars, that the candidate stands for goodness, and family values and the American way of life."
On the other hand, he says, the campaign trail can be "hell" for a family, and even disastrous if a candidate loses. And, he adds, "most of these people are going to lose."
It also opens up the candidate's family to scrutiny. A family member trotted out on behalf of the campaign may also, if he or she carries baggage, become fair game for critics.
Tagg says things are going well for him so far on the campaign. He said the start was bumpy - he'd give himself a C-minus for his initial speeches - but now he's getting into the rhythm. Following the family tradition, he's even brought his 11-year-old daughter, Allie, on the trail with him.
"I'm very, very grateful to be in this position," Tagg says. He calls the experience a "big adventure."

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hello and welcome to JustAnswer!
Due to it being a 1995 many shops probably won't have the ability to connect a scan tool to the car. Up until the 1996 model year manufacturers were allowed to use proprietary protocols and connectors for scan tool communications.
The first thing that really should be done is use an appropriate scan tool and see if any fault codes have set. Hopefully there will be something stored as a result of this problem and can be used as a starting point for diagnosis.
There are quite a few things that could be causing your symptoms. It sounds like your problem is fuel related rather than ignition. With the symptoms you are having I would most suspect a bad mass airflow sensor, MAP sensor or possibly an oxygen sensor. A bad oxygen sensor can cause driveability symptoms but when you shut the engine off and restart it then the oxygen sensors would be ignored for a short time again after startup. If you are having problems immediately after restarting it then that would fairly safely rule out an oxygen sensor problem.

The U.S. Coast Guard has scuttled a derelict Japanese shrimper cast adrift by the tsunami from the March 2011 earthquake in Japan. It took a second volley of gunfire to sink the boat several hours after the first blasts.
Update at 10:50 p.m. ET: The Coast Guard reports that the Ryou-Un Maru has finally, stubbornly, gone down to the bottom of the Gulf of Alaska.
Although the derelict shrimper burst into flames and took on water when the cutter Anacapa shot it up about five hours ago, the rust bucket that floated across the Pacific for a year refused to sink. AP writes that the Anacapa "fired larger ammunition to finish the job."
"Ghost ship" indeed.
Update at 5:51 p.m. ET: The Coast Guard said it could take at least an hour for the vessel to sink.
Update at 5:36 p.m. ET: The AP reports that a Coast Guard cutter has fired at the "ghost ship."
Update at 4:43 p.m. ET: The Coast Guard now says the Canadian fishing vessel that claimed salvage rights is unable to tow the derelict ship, so the scuttling will proceed, perhaps within the hour, the Associated Press says.
Original post: The U.S. Coast Guard has halted plans to sink a Japanese "ghost ship" off Alaska today after Canadians claimed salvage rights to a derelict shrimper set adrift by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, according to news reports.
The Coast Guard is waiting for the 62-foot Canadian fishing vessel Bernice C to arrive at the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, which is floating in the Gulf of Alaska, about 195 miles south of Sitka, the Associated Press reported earlier today. If the Canadians can't tow the ship, the Coast Guard will sink it as planned, spokesman Paul Webb said.
The Ryou-Un Maru, which was to have been scrapped in Japan but was dislodged in Hokkaido, may still hold up to 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel. But officials don't know how much, if any, is aboard.
Federal marine and environmental officials decided that sinking the ship, which has no power, lights or communication equipment, would be better than having it collide with another ship or run aground along the coast.
"It's safer to mitigate the risks now before there's an accident or environmental impact," Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer Charley Hengen told the AP earlier.
If the scuttling proceeds, the cutter Anacapa will fire high-explosive, 25mm rounds from several hundred feet away, the BBC says.

The very first videogames were simple. You'd blast some invaders from space, or stomp on turtles in pursuit of a princess. The entire focus of a game was to reach the goal at the end, scoring the most points along the way.
Today, games are immensely more complicated. They're open-world, and massively multiplayer, and often they're not so much games as virtual playgrounds, asking you to carve out your own fun from the tools they offer. You're not limited to just a series of levels that lead to the end boss, but have the option to partake in an endless series of side-quests.
It's tricky to define what exactly a side-quest is. Ostensibly, it's any activity that's not necessary to finish the main game, an optional slice of content which might perhaps flesh out your surroundings and the game's story, but isn't required to complete it. They're also a means for developers to provide a reason to return to a game after completion, enticing you back into the world rather than selling your disc to your local Gamestop.
But this definition is far too broad; so for the purpose of this article, side quests will be considered in the context of role-playing games only.
Side quests are present in almost every role-playing game. They break up the pacing of the main story, and offer incentives to inquisitive players who venture out of his or her way. These incentives can vary from extra experience or rare items, to just shedding new light on a character or exploring the story from a different angle.
These miniature adventures come in all different shapes, sizes and colors. They can be as brief slaying a specific beast, or as long as the item trading quests in many Zelda games. One could even consider the Fighting Gym from Pokemon Red & Blue to be a side quest. You don't have to beat it: It doesn't advance the story or give you any key item. The incentive is to be given the chance to choose between Hitmonlee and Hitmonchamp.
It's almost expected that a RPG will have plenty of side quests. It's a feature that's become inherent to the genre, and the quality of a game's side quests have a big impact on its overall reception. Naturally, some games are better than others; if almost every RPG has side-quests, we're bound to experience a dramatic scale varying from the terrific to the tedious. Not all side quests are created equal. Some are outstanding and add depth and charm to their game, while others prove to be an annoying distraction. Creating compelling side quests that are organic to the gameplay experience is a big challenge for developers.
So what makes a good side quest?
First-and-foremost, are the incentives. You're not going to get a player to scour the map for an item, or go out of his/her way to hunt a monster for 5 pieces of gold. Much like in real life, the rewards need to be appropriate for the amount of work required. Many games do a great job of this. Completing quests will grant experience, a large bounty, a rare item, and more. It's a balancing act, because you want to offer players a tantalizing reason to venture down the path less traveled, but you don't want the rewards to be too good, because then players will feel like they have to do all the side-quests.
Square's 1997 hit Final Fantasy VII treads this balance exceptionally well. You certainly didn't have to complete any of its side quests, but you'd be a fool not to. With incentives like new weapons, powerful summons and even optional playable characters, you just had to take advantage of a few of the many optional quests. Sink time into racing and breeding Chocobos at the Golden Saucer, and you could find yourself with a rare Golden Chocobo – able to easily traverse land and sea, and granting you access to the game's most powerful Summon materia – Knights of the Round.
But besides that, FFVII has a lot of other optional quests – party members Yufi and Vincent are only obtained through some dedicated digging, while a number of optional bosses are hidden out in the wilds for you to uncover and defeat. Which brings up another important question: how many side quests should a game have? Is there a point where optional content ceases being an incentive and instead becomes a chore, or is bigger really better?
Well, that depends on the game. A bigger and longer game will usually have more to do than a shorter game, but that doesn't mean that they should pack it to the ceiling with quests. For example, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is a fine RPG, but contains far too many side quests which feel as though they're present simply to pad out the experience. We spent so much time completing quests in that game that we forgot what the main story was and what we were supposed to be doing. It started to feel like going through a busy email inbox. You'd try to read and respond to all your messages, but every time you would delete one, you'd get five more. It doesn't take much for a game to stop being fun, and to start feeling like work.
Eventually, you reach a point of diminishing returns, where the effort required for completing quests doesn't match the rewards. Even if you're promised a chunk of experience or a rare item, nobody wants to do seven fetch quests in a row. Because fetch quests are boring. Going to one area to get and item and bringing it to someone in another area might help to extend playtime, but it's not particularly fun. Unless we're playing some kind of delivery-man simulator, we expect a little more substance. Tales of Xillia has a lot of fetch quests, but at least sometimes whoever had the item you were looking for didn't want to give it up without a fight, so it wasn't entirely monotonous.
Another major staple of side quest are kill quests, or hunts. "Monsters attacking the highroad? No problem, send the newly arrived party of strangers to fight for your town." Kill quests are usually more exciting than fetch quests because, you know, you get to kill things. You feel like you've earned whatever rewards you get because you had to win a challenging battle. However, these too can begin to feel repetitive unless they're handled in the right way.
Take the hunts from Final Fantasy XII. They're organized in a central location, so you don't have to travel all over the world to accept them, and completing them levels up your clan – so you feel like you're part of a team. The hunts themselves are scaled nicely, too. You start out hunting a tomato that you can defeat with ease, and end up battling an enormous dragon with 50 million hit points that literally takes hours to beat.
The hunts work because they are focused and organized, and don't feel like they were slapped onto the game at the last minute. Surely the best side-quests are the ones that feel integral to the main game, like Blitzball from Final Fantasy X, or rebuilding Colony 9 from Xenoblade Chronicles. You want to complete them because they're either important to the story, or you have some vested interest in them. If a game's story is so good that you feel like you have to complete a side-quest, because you care about the people and problems involved, the developer is doing something right. Planescape: Torment provides a huge number of optional side-quests – many of which players will never see – but each one fleshes out the background and character of the numerous personalities within its world.
Compare this to a game like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In theory, you can play the game forever – but the vast majority of its side quests are randomly-generated, consisting of little more than delivery errands – which add nothing to the background of the world – and their rewards are frequently worse than the equipment you already own. They're simply padding, existing to fill out an otherwise relatively empty world.
Of course, the inventive for completing a side quest can just be that it's plain fun to do so. There's nothing wrong with that. We don't need to be promised a fancy reward if we get to battle the former vice president wearing a cape (South Park: The Stick of Truth). It's just hilarious and fun, and a nice distraction from the main plot; which proves that there's no one correct formula for crafting a memorable side quest, but there are definitely some common trends. They need to be more varied and complicated than simply repeating fetch and kill quests. The rewards need to match the level of effort required, and they should have a strong relation or significance to the characters and story. If all else fails, they should at least be as memorable as shooting someone in the face.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Fully illustrated throughout with pictures, press cuttings, album covers and ticket stubs, This Day in Music is a must-have book for any discerning music fan. Documenting key moments in music history, it also contains a chapter of 'did you know?' music trivia facts such the first record bought by musicians (Julian Casablancas from The Strokes bought Faith by George Michael), artists real names (Marilyn Manson's real name is Brian), worst jobs (Mark Stoermer, bass guitarist with The Killers, once worked as an organ/blood/body part delivery boy), first gigs and other entertaining random facts.
This Day In Music brings together all the significant events in the history of rock and pop music in one giant diary, documenting the facts, the figures, the dates, the times, the places and, most of all, the stars that made rock and pop the most vibrant art form of the 20th and 21st centuries. From New Year's Day to New Year's Eve, here is all the information you need to know, set out chronologically so you can look up those dates that interest you or simply pore through the year, month by month, day by day.
Former musician, Neil Cossar, was the guitarist in the late 70's - 80's group The Cheaters, (who signed to Parlophone Records, but never troubled the charts). Continually gigging throughout 1982, they were awarded 'Hardest working band of the year' by BBC Radio 1 after playing 321 gigs and recording an album! During the 90's Neil worked as a radio DJ in Manchester, England presenting a late night show which featured countless 'new acts' in session including Radiohead, Blur, The Charlatans, Lenny Kravitz, PJ Harvey, The Cranberries and Tori Amos.

Actually, you don't have to.
This is one of the most powerful lessons I've learned and probably the one I'd like most to pass on to my daughter (and my sons!): actually, you don't have to.
So here's the wisdom of my nearly 42 years, passed on to you (yes, I am that old, and yes, you're welcome!)
*You don't have to answer the question just because someone asks.
*You don't have to explain yourself to strangers, spurious authority figures, or anyone else just because they ask you to.
*You don't have to do something just because someone told you to.
*You don't have to 'be nice' and accept something you really don't want (and that might even be harmful to you) just to make everyone else around you feel better.
I'm not saying that it's not okay to do some of these things in small measures at considered times – of course it is! There are times in life, things that are small to us and maybe important to loved ones, where it is absolutely right to be sensitive to someone else's needs because they are important to you. But this is needs to be a choice.
For too many of us, especially girls and women and mothers – our default setting is smiling compliance. Too many of us share more with people than we really feel comfortable sharing or do things we don't really want to do (or feel good about in any way), just because someone asked – and that someone could be anyone – a stranger, a relative, an 'authority figure'.
Too many of us give away our freedom and personal power without a thought just because someone asked or told us to. This needs to stop. We need to stop. Because actually, we don't have to.
We can make a new choice, whenever we like.
We can make a choice to stop – to hold that smile – and to think, to value the importance of our own needs, our own wants, our own wishes.
This may not be the answer or response 'they' wanted or expected.
But that's okay. Because actually, we don't have to.
The next free healing for women and for birth is happening on Monday, 28 April 2014 – this is my birthday present to you! Join us here, and pass it on!

Make sure that when you have a program with more than a few hundred lines of code, you make a backup copy somewhere. Once you find you made some huge mistake, or decide there is a better way to code the entire thing, you'll be glad you made that backup so many hours/days ago instead of re-coding hundreds of lines of code.

Thousands of examples of breathtaking architectural concrete structures prove that beyond providing strength, durability, sustainability, and economy, concrete can be a versatile medium of artistic expression. Achieving such art requires that the producer and contractor orchestrate the right combination of formwork, materials, techniques, and timing, and do so uniformly throughout the architectural phases of the project.
But before even the most experienced subcontractor plans, estimates the cost, and executes an architectural masterpiece, the expectations of the architect and the owner must be absolutely clear. The producer must know what it will take to make the owner happy on an architectural concrete project or be prepared for failure. Remember this rule: If the owner ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
ACI defines architectural concrete as "concrete that will be permanently exposed to view and therefore requires special care in selection of the concrete materials, forming, placing, and finishing to obtain the desired architectural appearance." In addition to any of the routine, yet critical, requirements for fresh and hardened concrete, such as slump, air, strength, temperature, and tolerances, acceptance of, and full payment for the finished product will depend on appearance as judged by someone's eye. Measurable, numerical values are routinely obtained for strength and potential durability of concrete, and these values are then compared with specified criteria to judge acceptability. Those same kinds of objective measurements are not typically available to judge the appearance of hardened concrete, and that can make the question of contract compliance a judgment call.
The challenge for producers and contractors is to divine the owner's and architect's genuine intent before establishing the bid price. Unfortunately, in some cases, the genuine intent only becomes clear after the contractor's first efforts are declared unacceptable. The challenge for the specifier is to prepare bid documents that unambiguously define the required, yet subjective, qualities of color, tone, texture, and uniformity (or variability) of the concrete.
Where the challenge begins
Architectural concrete begins in the imagination of the owner. If the finished structure looks and feels like what the owner had imagined from the beginning, there is joy on the project and the retainer is paid. Getting to that blissful state requires first and foremost that the architect capture the owner's dream and translate it into executable contract documents.
In reality, the contractor provides a finished structure that must be an acceptably close approximation of what is described in the contract documents—the design team's challenge is to produce plans and specs that define what is an acceptably close approximation of what the owner wants. To satisfy the owner, therefore, requires that the translation of the designer's approximation is close enough to the owner's dream.
Skillful architects use artistic renderings, models, computer simulations, samples, mockups, and visits to existing structures to refine and confirm the owner's desires. But despite these lengthy and expensive efforts, some owners can't visualize the finished product until it's finished. And despite the fact that the work may be in substantial conformance with the plans and specs, the owner might still say, "That's not what I had in mind."

As an employer you offer employee benefit plans as a way to help attract and retain a talented staff. With this benefit offering comes a significant level of liability exposure for you and your company created from the management of these plans.
Sinclair Risk & Financial Management can provide you with a program designed to protect you in the event there are claims arising out of improper investments, insufficient funding, or breach of fiduciary duties in the plan's management. Our Fiduciary Insurance policy will protect you and the personal assets you have at risk as the plan's fiduciary in the event of a claim.
Why is this coverage important? Recent studies show that there has been an increase in claims severity and frequency over the past several years. Today, plan fiduciaries now surpass the medical profession as a target for litigation. The average claim has surpassed $800,000 – up from $700,000 just five years earlier. Defense costs during this same period rose 471%. Plan participants file more than 90% of the claims, with unions, government agencies, and other entities making up the remainder. And nearly 50% of the claims arise out of benefits disputes. Other issues that may give rise to legal action include administrative errors and deficiencies in the communication of participants.
Sinclair provides businesses throughout the United States with a wide range of employee benefits products and services. In addition, we can help protect you and the individuals responsible for managing the plan in the event of an alleged or actual fiduciary breach.
From plan design to protecting your fiduciary responsibilities, we have you covered.
Give one of our professionals a call at 203.265.0996, email us, or return the form on this page to discuss your employee benefit plan and fiduciary liability risks.

The Empire is a uniquely styled, technical soft-shell jacket that has been designed for the needs of urban cyclists.
The Empire features a 2-point adjustable hood for when you're off the bike, but when it's time to put the helmet back on, the hood folds neatly and cleanly into the collar. Waterproof zippers have been used throughout the jacket, with a zipper garage at the neck to prevent a cold zipper from pressing against your neck.
Running diagonally across the chest are two zippered vents. While in the riding position, these vents scoop cool air in toward your chest and funnel it out through the breathable side panels. These vents offer a tremendous amount of airflow, especially when used in combination with a half-opened front zipper. At the bottom of these vents, along the same visual line, are concealed, zippered hand-warmer pockets. Within both of these hand-warmers are additional internal pockets, one of which features an audio cord port.
Reflective tape along the back flashes hot white when hit by a pair of headlights. Underneath is a large zippered pocket with three internal pockets for stowing spare tubes, multi-tools, pump, etc.
The bottom hem of the Empire has been shaped with an extended tail for extra coverage while leaning forward in the saddle. It can also be cinched down to fit using a concealed drawstring, while gripper tape along the edge helps keep the jacket in place.
Combining a modern urban style with a wide array of bike-friendly features, the Empire is a versatile choice for any urban cyclist.

Casa Quickie: Buy the Floor Model
Some friends of mine just got a great deal on a off-white couch from Room and Board that I was shocked to learn was a floor model; it looked pristine and unsullied by shoppers' hands (or tushes). Their find reminded me about the fabulousness of floor models, the furniture pieces that retailers sell at a discount after they've been sitting on the showroom floor.
At Ikea it's called the "as is" section, and sometimes the pieces can be gently worn, scratched, or even busted. But if the price is low enough, it may be worth it to make a few repairs. Other times, they're in near-perfect condition; one blogger scored a stunning $300 rug for $50. More important, they're usually a serious deal: this Moroso Tord Boontje Oval Table from Velocity Art and Design looks pretty and polished, and it's $3,384.50, marked down from $6,769.
Have you ever purchased a floor model? If so, share your tales below.

Jackie Bibby - who is known as the Texas Snake Man - completed the strange feat to break his own world record.
He reclined with 87 of the slippery creatures for 45 minutes, beating his previous best by 12 snakes. He said keeping still stopped him getting hurt.
An official from Guinness World Records confirmed that the challenge had been completed successfully.
"Rapid movement scares a rattlesnake. If you move real slow and gentle, that doesn't seem to bother them," said Jackie.
Last year, he set another record by holding 10 rattlesnakes by their tails in his mouth.

Carpets constitute a branch of art that has been synonymous with the name of the Turks for centuries. Travel accounts and documents attest to the beautiful and valuable carpets woven in Seljuk Anatolia, and the carpet was an important Anatolian export in the period of Principalities that followed. The Ottomans, who inherited the art of the carpet as a legacy, raised it to even greater heights. Examples of carpets from the Seljuk and Ottoman periods right up to the present day are exhibited at the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Art, which has the world's richest collection.
Carpet-making is believed to have started as a nomadic art. Knotted carpets, the oldest examples of which were found in a region heavily populated by nomadic tribes, in other words west and Central Asia, were spread on the ground for protection again severe climatic conditions. Their invention was motivated by the need for something to replace the animal skins that constituted the backbone of the nomadic economy.


text: Quality of life is about the details of everyday living. From the little things, like knowing the nearest place to pick up a pint of milk, to more important matters like finding the right school or having a health centre nearby, you need to know that the community you're moving to will support you and your family, as well as be a pleasant place to live. So here's some useful information about the area around Roselea. Local Roots Rosewell was established over 150 years ago to provide good housing for local mineworkers. All the houses had gardens, an unusual feature for the period, and today these village homes are the basis of a lively and vibrant community. Transport Just four miles from the City of Edinburgh Bypass, Roselea is around 25 minutes by car of central Edinburgh and within 40 minutes by bus routes 31 and 49, both frequent services. The Penicuik to Dalkeith Walkway provides pleasant access for pedestrians and cyclists to the neighbouring towns, and at Bonnyrigg it intersects with National Cycle Route 1 for exploring further afield. The Bypass provides fast access to Edinburgh Airport and the whole of the central belt. Arts & Entertainment While Rosewell is within easy reach of Edinburgh's diverse and lively cultural life and festivals, there are some major attractions closer to home, including the National Mining Museum at Newtongrange which presents a range of special events, and the famous, mysterious Roslin Chapel. Leisure & Recreation Roselea is close to some of the area's most beautiful walking and cycling routes, including the Roslin Glen Walk along the North Esk, and the nearby Pentland Hills offer endless opportunities for hill walking and year-round winter sports at the Midlothian Snowsports Centre. Glencorse, a picturesque and challenging course described as one of Scotland's hidden gems, is the nearest of several golf clubs in the area. Recycling Facilities The local recycling site in Carnethie Street, three quarters of a mile from Roselea, accepts household packaging, glass bottles and jars, paper and textiles. There is a larger centre with facilities for white goods, TVs and garden waste around four miles away at Penicuik. Education & Health Rosewell Primary School and St Matthew's RC Primary School are both within a short walk of the development, and pupils from the village normally move on to Lasswade High School in Bonnyrigg. There are three medical practices based in Bonnyrigg Health Centre, including the Strathesk Practice, and a choice of dentists in Bonnyrigg High Street. Shopping The general store in Rosewell caters for most everyday needs including newspapers and groceries. For a wider choice, Bonnyrigg's lively High Street has a large Co-op supermarket, post office, pharmacist, conveniences stores, banks and other services. The Pentland Retail Park at Straiton, with more than 40 major high street names including Ikea, Argos, Boots, Homebase and Sainsbury's, is just three miles away. Living in Rosewell When you leave the car at home and explore the local area by foot or bicycle, you get to know it so much better. And by using local shops and services, you'll help to keep the neighbourhood vibrant and prosperous. Every place has its own personality, and once you move in you'll soon find your favourite walks, and the shops you like best.
