Question about 1994 Volvo 960
My 1998 Volvo S90 (70K) had P0715 and P0705 codes 2 months ago. I was told that the gear position sensor (PNP switch) has to be replaced. I replaced it a week ago. However, after replacement the gear cannot be engaged. I can put the shift to D position for driving a just one minute, but then the gear became disengaged. I have to stop engine for several minutes and then I can drive for another one minute. Today I used ODB II code scanner and got 3 codes P0715, P0740, P0705. After erased the codes, the Check Engine light got off but the problem was still there (can only engage the gear for a minute). However, when I used the scanner to scan the codes, I could not get any codes. Can somebody help me to figure out what was wrong with my car? Why I could not get the error codes (the Check Engine light was off too)? Thanks.

I have 1997 S90 and it was driving good until today. It arrived at the store fine with no symptoms. When we try to go home, the car will start. We can shift the gear, but nothing would engage. Nothing.
Any suggestions?
Sounds like the PNP switch or the Park/Neutral switch is out of line (adjustment). There is very much information about this on the internet.
Just today I was called by my garage because the mechanic could not start the car. I had my 1993 960 in for freon (134). Over the phone he said the starter would engage but no start. He was about to recommend a new fuel pump because no fuel was reaching the engine. So I said wait. I went down and while he was not looking I did the shifting routine of: brake depressed, key on, move shifter from Park through all the gears several time, then key off. After this I could start the engine and drive off. On the transmission is a PNP inhibitor switch and a Park/ Neutral sensor switch that cause no start and no shift situations. Oh yes, I did not bother to tell him what I did! He spent six hours trouble-shooting and would have charged me.
My next project is to wire around these trouble makers. I always drive in "E" and I do not care if it will start in all positions.

This is the seventh chapter to When Air Nomads Walked the Earth and should be an interesting read. I hope you enjoy reading this chapter because this was very fun for me to write.
What happened last time...
Syra races home in the middle of a downpour after spending a weary day at school. To relieve herself of her worries about the current state of the world, she decides to catch up on sleep where she encounters Avatar Yangchen in a dream.
Meanwhile, Siro and Jengso become temporarily caught during a raging storm. After the storm passes, Siro arrives home to overhear Zala and Zorin having a conversation about him.
Past and Future Avatar
Syra's dark, gray eyes widened with curiosity and excitement as she beheld the blue figure of the Air Nomad whom Master Yangsu had proclaimed was the greatest Air Avatar. She halted in her tracks, standing in the soft, rich-green grass. Sunlight streamed through the peaks and gaps of the canopy the tree branches formed over her head. The harmonies of the birds, each distinct from the rest, echoed through the landscape.
"Please, sit," Avatar Yangchen coaxed the stunned girl, staring in awe at the legendary figure. Yangchen pointed the spout of the ordinary tea kettle she gripped in her hand to the place opposite where she was sitting.
The young nomad briskly trotted over to the base of a towering oak tree and sat down cross-legged, facing Yangchen. They were separated by a small, round patch of soil where two tin teacups and a porcelain kettle propped over a small fire were situated.
At first, Syra was momentarily speechless; there was a multitude of questions and remarks she had, however, nothing escaped her mouth. After several moments of silence, she finally spoke up, saying, "I'm truly amazed. It's such an honor to meet you!" She bowed her head to the Avatar.
Yangchen replied, "And it is pleasure to meet you, young Airbender. Please, though. Do just call me 'Yangchen'. I may be a past Avatar and, I admit, a quite knowledgeable spirit, but I'd rather be addressed normally as anyone would be."
She poured steaming tea into one of the plain tin cups and handed it to Syra who politely thanked her and heartily drank the brew. It was a strange combination of Leechi and Ginseng tea yet warming and delectable.
"This place," Syra remarked, "is absolutely amazing. Never before have I seen such a gorgeous landscape and I've traveled to many incredible sites in my life."
"It is truly something to behold, isn't it?" Yangchen said.
She turned her head to observe the luscious forest surrounding them; flowers, shrubbery and trees of every species known to man thrived. "This forest just seems to extend infinitely," she commented. "The number of trees growing is countless."
Yangchen chuckled at this remark and replied, "Oh no, it does end eventually. And the number of trees is finite as well. Now don't ask why I know this, but there are actually 20,791 trees growing in this paradise."
Syra could only nod as she sipped her tea and continued to take in the magnificent view. For a while, she was able to lose herself in the nirvana and indulge herself in the perfections of this universe. Her blissful thoughts were interrupted by Yangchen who told her, "You seemed to be a bit lost, dear, when I spotted you. I could tell something was troubling you."
Syra sighed, knowing very well that is was the truth. She did have a lot on her mind; she was concerning herself with matters that she shouldn't have been thinking about. She was in no rush, to reveal to Yangchen the conversation she had eavesdropped on.
Instead, she openly revealed another matter to the Avatar who sat intently, waiting for her to say something. "Well, I do have trouble in school sometimes with these two nasty cliques, Jia and Mika."
Before she could say anything further, Yangchen nodded and said, "Ah, I see. These girls give you trouble in school. They taunt you or irritate you perhaps even spread rumors about you."
The eleven year-old sighed and slowly nodded. She cast her eyes to the grass that swayed in the breeze. "They do taunt me and spread rumors," she slowly confessed. She strived to keep one memory from flooding back; one she wanted to forget; one she and Tyla called the "Unspoken Memory" because neither wanted to remember it.
"You look troubled again," Yangchen remarked, her brow furrowing in concern. "I assure you, cliques such as those you speak of are merely insecure and hollow. Don't fret; their shallow ways will one day catch up with them and cause great resent."
"It's okay," Syra replied quietly. "I can tolerate them now and whatever little tricks they decide to play on me." A warm breeze comforted and consoled her.
Yangchen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I can sense something greater is disturbing you."
"Well..." Syra began hesitantly. She fished around quickly for an explanation to her apparently strange behavior. "I guess I'm also a little impatient when learning Airbending."
"Ah, you desire to be an Airbending Master," Yangchen concluded. "I can sense ambition in your eyes. To be truthful, I wasn't always the noble Airbender I was when I was the current Avatar. I can assure you, though; patience and discipline pays off."
Syra tried to act engaged in the conversation, but she felt almost urged to reveal to Yangchen what the sisters had spoken about. The overwhelming feeling built up until she felt had no other choice, but to spill it out."
Reluctantly, she admitted, "The truth is... I heard two of the sisters of the Council of Elders yesterday, talking about the possibility of future warfare." She drew in a deep breath and continued, "I'm so confused and worried about the whole thing; as much as I want to deny the possibility of there being war, something just doesn't feel... right."
Yangchen pondered this mention for a few moments, a thoughtful expression splayed across her face. After several silent moments, she finally answered, "Seeing how I can't delve into the future, I don't have an accurate answer for you. When one is isolated in the Spirit World, in a whole other dimension, one loses track of current events. I'm afraid to say that I haven't the slightest clue as to whether this threat of war you speak of is indeed a reality or not."
Syra let out a deep sigh and replied, "It's okay."
"The only wisdom I can offer to you," Yangchen told her, "is that men are the deciders of their own destinies. Whatever their choices may be will affect the future of the world."
Syra contemplated this statement then proceeded to say, "The other major conflict I'm facing is whether I should tell anyone I know about this possible issue. It would feel relieving to open myself up to someone about this. The thing is, I don't want to risk worrying anyone right now; just because I'm troubled by this issue doesn't mean anyone else should be."
"Well, I think you just answered your own question," Yangchen replied. "Some things in this world are better left unsaid."
Syra looked out over to the horizon where sunset had already begun. The bright orange-yellow sun hung low, the light causing a ripple effect in sky, appearing to bend the sky. She barely had any time to soak up the last of the radiant rays when a sudden feeling of change surrounded her. She looked around her and saw that the soft grass she had just been sitting in just a moment ago, began to shrivel and reduce to crumbly, wilted pieces. She could no longer hear the birds chirping nor the gentle creek flowing. Flowers fell like the heavy raindrops she had witnessed pelting the ground during the storm; the nirvana was falling apart.
Syra felt as though she were being pulled underneath the dry, cracked soil. She could not comprehend what was occurring. All of a sudden, Yangchen appeared to be far off in the distance. She had only been sitting in front of her a few moments ago; now she was becoming more and more distant.
"I don't understand!" she called out to the fading blue figure. "What's happening to this dimension?"
"We must go our separate ways, dear, I'm afraid!" Yangchen cried out. "As I said before, this nirvana is finite; it's not endless; it has its limits!"
Syra was bewildered as she felt herself slowly being swallowed up in the rapidly diminishing universe. So even a heaven like this can't last, she thought. It's so real. So true. So much like my life...
She heard Yangchen call out once more to her. "Detach yourself! Let yourself be free! Let fate occur naturally!" she heard the Avatar shout.
Syra barely knew what occurred afterwards; she was suddenly engulfed in a dimension of darkness. Moments later, she found herself in another scene, another universe. She surveyed her surroundings and found herself to be in the middle of a battlefield.
Everywhere she looked, she saw soldiers, even Air Nomads, who didn't have a formal military, engaged in heated combat. Water whips, earth slabs, stray fireballs and powerful air gusts were being launched, sent and employed in all directions. The entire scenario was chaos and she directly in the center of the whole catastrophe.
Frozen in fear, Syra was utterly clueless as to where to turn next. She found it surprising that, amidst all the upheaval, she herself remained unharmed by any weapon, powerful bending move, or soldier. It was as though she were shielded by an invisible force field around her, making her impervious to any attack.
Even so, a battle was a battle and not something to be in the dead center of. She searched frantically for a narrow slip through which she might be able to make her escape, but to no avail. Every square foot of land seemed to be flooded with troops. She caught sight of a Water Tribe soldier dressed in blue attire fighting off an Earth Kingdom soldier and Fire Nation soldier, all three armed with swords and spears, barely ten feet away from her. Seemingly rooted to where she was kneeling on the ground, she witnessed the brutal fighting. Thankfully, she did not view any soldiers fall during the battle, but it was terrifying all the same.
Just when all hope seemed lost, she beheld an odd figure not too far off in the distance that appeared to tower over all the rest. A quick radiance of resplendent light surrounded the figure for no more than a few seconds before fading. The figure became slightly more distinct, but Syra was still unable to make out their exact appearance.
It was a wonder what occurred next. In an instance, she observed immense gusts of wind whirling around her, blowing up dust and dirt. The blue skies were masked by a whirlwind of dust, the figure who had conjured these winds barely visible in the torrent of debris. Yet somehow, despite being in the midst of the sudden dust storm, she remained unharmed, untouched by the wind and dirt.
What's going on right now? Why am I seemingly invincible to all this? she asked herself frantically. And who is that mysterious figure in the distance?
She began mulling over in her head who the figure could possibly be as the dusty winds continued to blow forcefully around her. They were certainly more powerful than all the soldiers combined... she pondered. And that glow... That could only mean one thing: that figure was the Avatar.
Syra was bursting with excitement; never before had she witnessed an Avatar in action. This is terrifying and incredible at the same time! she thought excitedly. The only thing she couldn't solve was the question as to what Avatar was in the middle of a battlefield. It could've been any of the thousand or so Avatars she had been taught had existed in the world.
After several moments of dust and wind raging about around her, the landscape finally quieted down. The thick cloud that must have spanned for miles on end thinned and gradually faded. Syra found herself no longer in the midst of a battlefield, but rather the remnants of the battlefield. The thousands of soldiers that had surrounded her just minutes ago, as it seemed, had mysteriously disappeared. Only their weapons, clubs, spears, swords and all, remained behind.
All the troops had vanished and only she and the unknown Avatar, whose back was facing her, remained in what was left of the wind-blown landscape. She could now make out the figure's basic features and found the Avatar to be an Air Nomad just like her. His head was shaven and his skin bearing the Airbender tattoos Syra longed to bear one day. To her surprise, he was rather short and possessed the body of not a sixteen-year-old or older, but a young boy around her age, perhaps a bit older. This she found odd because the nuns had taught her that the identity of the Avatar was never revealed to the person until they were sixteen.
She found herself able to move once more and without a moment's hesitation, she darted from her spot on the ground over to the figure who remained standing still, his back still facing her. Yes, the boy didn't appear to be sixteen yet, but she didn't care; he was still an Avatar.
"Hello, I'm Syra!" she called out to the boy as she ran towards him. She reached the boy and placed her hand on his shoulder; to her excitement, he slowly began turning around to face her. His head turned, slowly revealing his side profile... Syra could feel herself shaking with excitement. No, wait... she was being shaken literally.
The deserted battle scene started to blur together and she could hear someone shouting at her. "Syra, dear, wake up!" She recognized the voice... "Come on, sweetie, you have to get up now!" The voice... it was Sister Min's.
In a split second, Syra snapped out of her dream; the battle scene had faded completely, the mysterious Avatar gone as she found herself to be in her own bedroom. Sister Min was standing by her bedside, her hands grasped around Syra's left arm. No wonder I felt like I was shaking... she thought. Sister Min was trying to wake me up...
Her guardian was standing over her, smiling brightly and saying, "Come on, Syra! You don't want to be late for school now, right? Get ready and don't worry, I didn't let you oversleep or anything!" She walked over to Syra's bedroom door which was ajar and motioned for her to climb out of bed.
Fully awake and slightly startled, Syra hopped out of bed and quickly scrambled to get dressed and ready for school. Light was cascading into her room, contrary to the sheeting rain and gloomy clouds that stretched across the sky yesterday.
Strangely, Syra couldn't seem to remember much about the two dreams she had had last night. She remembered only fragments of them and even those fragments were relatively ambiguous. She did, however, remember Avatar Yangchen calling out to her at one point, shouting, "Detach yourself! Let yourself be free! Let fate occur naturally!" And she did remember placing her hand on someone's shoulder. Was it the Avatar? Syra was almost certain it had been the Avatar, an Avatar she was not familiar with, an Avatar whose face she never got to see.
She sighed, wishing the missing fragments of her dream would flood back into her mind. Fully dressed and almost prepared for the day, she paused for one more moment to ponder over her two dreams. Finally, not wanting to be late, she ran out of her bedroom and down the stairs, accidentally forgetting the stone she had placed on her wardrobe before.
Pent-up Confusion Breaks Loose
"So when is he supposed to leave?" Jengso asked as he and Siro ambled home from school.
It was a hazy summer afternoon in Sen Go, the type of day where one would kill to find a cool lake for swimming or a nice, shady cave to crawl in and avoid being soaked up by the heat and humidity. Puddles of water still collected in the cracks and dips of the pavement from yesterday's storm and Siro could judge from the way several wooden roofs were splintered, that the storm had caused a bit of damage.
"He's going to leave tomorrow evening after dinner," Siro replied.
Zorin was to leave Sen Go tomorrow and continue his training at the military school he attended. He said he wouldn't be able to revisit the village until at least for another two or three weeks, but promised he would write to his family as often as possible. Siro was downcast at the reality of his brother leaving yet again, however, he felt he could get by this time without sinking into daydreams. He was already confused by the secret talk of warfare; why should he cause more worry for himself?
"Are you okay with that?" Jengso asked quietly.
Siro muttered, "Yeah, I'm okay with that." What I'm not okay with though, he thought secretly to himself, is what I overheard my mother mention yesterday when I got home.
Siro had sauntered into the dining room yesterday only to hear Zala say in mid-sentence, "...until he turns older and will hopefully involve himself in the war somehow." He knew his mother was referring to him which made him only more uneasy about the whole idea of warfare.
Does she really expect me to become a soldier like Zorin? he asked. Siro enjoyed fighting others in Firebending duels, but those were only in good fun. He never considered the possibility that he might one day fight a real battle. Siro had always aspired to become either a writer or a Firebending instructor; he wasn't so sure how he felt about becoming a soldier.
Then again, Zala hadn't said Siro was to become a soldier; she had simply mentioned her hopes of him becoming somehow contributive to the war effort. Perhaps he could become a journalist and record the latest news about the war or an instructor who taught Firebending to would-be soldiers.
His mind, still confused, turned to another matter. "I saw you speaking with Master Shyo today," he said to Jengso. "Were you confronting him about your test score?"
"I was actually," Jengso replied. "Unfortunately, Master Shyo wasn't very convinced by my argument that he should credit me for my answer to number eighteen. I told you he's difficult to persuade. It seems like every Fire Nation teacher is like that: strict, rigid and practically without feelings."
Siro shrugged and replied, "I guess it's their method of teaching us discipline: showing no mercy or compassion towards students."
They soon came to their "splitting point", as they had begun calling it, and after bidding each other a goodbye, walked their separate paths home. Siro strolled home down the silent streets of his comfortable village. He could hear the faint commotion of Sen Go's several marketers selling their wares and knew that among the small crowds was his mother selling her pottery.
He wished greatly that his mother's expectations were not to send him to military school and have him train as a soldier. One thing that struck him as odd was the fact that only a couple of nights ago, Zala was fretting over the idea of her children being actively involved in the war in the future and now his mother was hopeful, perhaps even enthusiastic, to that prospect. He wondered what could have caused her to have a change of thought.
When Siro arrived home, he was slightly surprised to find Zorin absent from the house. After a few moments, however, he came to the conclusion that his brother was off practicing Firebending somewhere in the fields of Fire Lilies or accompanying Zala at the market. After splashing some cold water on his face to cool him down, he took his schoolbooks upstairs. Master Shyo hadn't assigned the students homework in school; instead, he obliged students to practice several Firebending drills and begin thinking about their topics for the important, beginning-of-the-year essay he always assigned.
Siro walked silently over to his bedroom window and viewed the bright orange fire streams appearing and disappearing among the vivid Fire Lilies. He knew there were a few students standing in the fields at that moment, practicing their drills, careless and unaware of what their futures might one day be. It didn't seem fair; he was just as passionate, innocent and hardworking. Why couldn't he be at peace as well?
"I brought home Fire Gummies for you, too, Siro! Do you want some now?" Zala asked her son as she busied herself, clearing the dinner dishes off their wooden dining room table.
Siro, halfway up the stairs, called out, "No thank you! I'll have some later!"
"That's fine, sweetie!" Zala replied. Siro could hear her add, "You can have some, too, Zorin."
Zorin groaned and told her, "Come on, Mom. I'm not ten anymore."
"Oh, don't pretend you don't love Fire Gummies," Zala protested. Siro could hear the water in the basin sloshing around as his mother began scrubbing the dishes vigorously.
His cozy bedroom was dimly lit by a kerosene lamp burning on the nightstand by his bed. He picked up the lamp and set it on his desk, still as sturdy and varnished as when his father first built it for him nearly five years ago. He pulled out a clean sheet of white paper, held it in place by two wooden paperweights and set a small bottle of black ink on the desk. Sitting down in his plain wooden chair with only the dim, steadily burning flame to work by, he began writing out ideas for his beginning-of-the-year essay.
His eyes couldn't help wandering over to his open window which let in a gentle summer evening breeze. The sky was a brilliant pink-orange color, the setting sun a glowing orb in the distance. The beautiful scenery along with the magnificent splendor of the Fire Lilies created such a panorama that Siro couldn't resist the urge to kneel on his bedspread, arms leaning on the window ledge, and watch the stunning view.
He caught sight of a few students in the distance who managed to get a few hours of Firebending practice completed before nightfall. The dazzling blasts and streams of fire they created added to the flare of the landscape. The vista was so extraordinarily breathtaking, Siro felt a need to record the view and took the sheet of paper, ink bottle and brush to the window ledge. Carefully propping the writing implements on the ledge, he dipped the brush in the ink and began describing the site in detail, accounting for every fire blast he witnessed being conjured to every streak of color in the sky.
After filling up the entire page with his description, Siro looked up at the sky once more and saw that a dazzling, white moon hung in the dark, blue night sky. The air had become crisp, the fire streams had ceased and the streets fell almost silent, save for the faint tinkling of a bell being blown by the breeze.
He sighed with deep satisfaction and thought, Time really gets away from you when you're so wrapped up in thought. Carefully, he put away the ink bottle and brush and laid the piece of parchment on his desk to dry. Deciding to go downstairs for some Fire Gummies, he quietly opened the door to his bedroom. Much to his dismay, he could hear the rest of his family engaged in another deep conversation. Wary yet overwhelmed by a natural curiosity, he sat at the top of the stairs where no one could see him and listened in on the conversation.
"Remember to keep us updated on all that is happening at school and how you are progressing in your training," he could hear Lee Wang say. "One letter per week should suffice, but do try to write to us as often as you can."
"Don't worry. I promise I'll write as many letters as I can possibly get around to," Zorin assured him in his usual cavalier, laidback tone. "I'll keep you updated on all things interesting that occur and give you any information you need."
Zala spoke up, "That's good to hear. It'll be awfully quiet around here when you leave. I hope Siro will hold out well; Master Shyo reported to us that he had caught him daydreaming in class several times. His attitude definitely took a downturn and was then miraculously lifted once you came home for a visit; I tried to coax him into telling me what troubled him, but you know how boys his age tend to keep all their emotions to themselves."
So... my parents knew about Master Shyo catching me daydreaming in school? Siro was stunned at this and even more surprised as to why his parents never discussed the matter with him in the first place.
"Sometimes I feel as though you're a bit too soft with him, Zala," Lee Wang spoke in a serious tone, one Siro had grown to fear and despise. "As parents, we shouldn't let these matters slide like that; we should have confronted him with the issue instead. I was going to had it not been for your insistence that keeping silent about the matter would be best."
Zala opposed his beliefs in a slightly raised tone. "I am certainly not soft with him; I simply look out for him. And we can afford to let a few daydreams during class slide. Now if it becomes a consistent issue, that's another situation."
Zorin deterred the rising tension by remarking, "Well I think my two-week visit did him good."
"I couldn't agree more," Zala said. "Tomorrow will mark a sad departure, but we shall enjoy the evening out, not let our minds become clouded with negative thoughts." After a slight pause, she added, "And I saw you ate some of those Fire Gummies this evening. I knew you couldn't resist."
Zorin chuckled and admitted, "Okay, so I did give in to temptation... Happy?" Zala only laughed.
"Well," Lee Wang commented in cheerful yet slightly gruff tone. "Tomorrow shall be a day of joy, pleasure and hope for a brighter future. It will mark your departure, Zorin, and celebrate your current prosperity in military training. I have high hopes that Siro will one day follow in your very footsteps."
Siro's hazel eyes widened at his father's last remark: I have high hopes that Siro will one day follow in your very footsteps. He could sense a shift in the mood of the previously light-hearted conversation. After moments of silence had passed, Zala at last broke the reticence.
She sighed deeply and admitted hesitantly, "I don't understand your insistence that Siro follow Zorin's path, Lee Wang. Zorin has already taken up the patriotic duty to serve the Fire Nation and become a valiant soldier in war; Siro should be able to pursue an occupation that meets his own interests."
Lee Wang argued her, saying, "This is what I mean by saying that you're too soft with the boy. No, no, there is no doubt that Siro will become a Fire Nation soldier in the future. He will learn true discipline in military school and demonstrate patriotism towards his own nation."
Siro was taken aback at his father's decision; his hands, now slightly shaking, gripped tightly around the wooden banister. Despite the natural warmth that circulated through the house, an icy feeling crept over him as he sat tentatively atop the flight of stairs.
"He already knows discipline well enough," Zala argued, her voice raising evidently. "He is a well-rounded boy, innocent with great potential; I don't want him to squander his talents and ambitions pursuing a career that will bring him discontent."
"One cannot feel discontent when serving his own nation in one of the most courageous ways," Lee Wang replied calmly yet tersely.
Siro realized Zorin's abrupt silence in the arising conflict and felt torn by his father's insistence. He came to the realization that Zala had not had a change of thought as he previously perceived. His mother was only mentioning to Zorin yesterday her "hopes" of Siro becoming involved in the war somehow because it was what her husband demanded, not what she desired. He was overwhelmed with a feeling of anger and self-pity, longing to have the strength to walk into his bedroom again yet unable to do so.
"He has shown great potential in becoming a brilliant writer perhaps a Firebending instructor to students his age," Zala firmly stated. "It would be wonderful to see him pursue a career in those fields. Besides, it was Zorin's personal decision to enroll in a military school and become a soldier. Shouldn't Siro deserve the personal decision of deciding his future?"
"Nothing will stir me or persuade me to reconsider my decision about the boy's future," Lee Wang objected, Siro sensing irritation is his voice. He was slightly hurt at how his father addressed him as "the boy", rarely referring to him as "my son".
Zala protested, "Well I, for one, am his mother and feel I should have a say in this matter as well."
Siro could hear Lee Wang bang his fists on the table, not too forcefully, but dynamically enough to make his point clear. "Listen, Zala," he disputed, making every effort to remain calm. "I'm fully aware of Siro's potential, however, my decision is final. He will take up his brother's profession and serve the Fire Nation on the battlefield! He may not be carrying out a position that will meet his interests, as you say, but he will be standing up for his country and that will suppress his discontent! No more of this nonsense! His discontent! You are too soft on him!"
Tears were brimming Siro's eyes by now, rage and frustration swallowing him up furiously. How could his own happiness not be of concern to his father? Feeling his cheeks flush red with anger and body shaking, he rose sharply from his sitting position and raced down the stairs at lightning speed.
He burst suddenly into the kitchen, startling his entire family; his feelings of rage were like a waterfall, spilling over uncontrollably. He directed his attention to his father and yelled, "How could you say that? How could my happiness not be of any importance to you? How can you, my father, simply decide that I should become a soldier one day?"
Lee Wang, although outright astonished at first, quickly came to his senses and an expression of ire crossed his face. "You overheard this entire conversation? Don't you know better than to eavesdrop on other people's discussions?" Turning his attention momentarily to Zala, he bellowed, "He does need to be disciplined!" Diverting his attention back to Siro, he stated coldly, "It's for your own good and for the benefit of the nation. I will not stand for any revolts from you."
Lee Wang said the word "you" in such an icy, disapproving tone, it only angered Siro more. "Why can't I become a writer? Why can't I become a Firebending instructor when I get older? That's so unfair!"
"I'm warning you, Siro!" Lee Wang glowered at his twelve-year-old son standing boldly against him.
"If you're going to make the decision to rule over my life, you can at least include me or inform me about it!" Siro soon felt exasperated by his shouts, his fierce insurgence against his father. The overshadowing anger that had just moments ago consumed him were slowly wearing away, leaving only shame and disbelief. He didn't realize the tears streaming down his face until they ran down the sides of his neck.
Lee Wang's eyes were intense with shock and fury at Siro's boldness; the entire family was dead silent. At long last, Zala placed her hands on Siro's shoulders and said quietly, "It's going to be okay, Siro. Why don't you go upstairs to bed now; it's getting late."
Siro cast a glance at Zorin who was sitting motionless in his chair, a solemn look on his face. When he caught Siro's eye, his face remained, for the most part, expressionless except for the very corners of his mouth which curled upwards in a faint, but detectable smile. This caught him by surprise. Lee Wang stood like a towering statue in the kitchen, arms crossed, face still expressing disappointment and anger.
When he and Zala reached the top of the stairs, he quietly muttered to her that he was fine and continued on towards his bedroom. He walked soberly inside and slammed the door closed. The flame in the kerosene lamp was slowly burning out, barely radiating any light or warmth. His bedroom was so silent, so still; Siro wasn't sure if it was silent in a serene way or in a dreadful way as it had been in the kitchen.
Then he caught sight of the parchment lying on his desk, explicitly accounting every minute detail he had observed in the field of Fire Lilies and orange brimmed sky. His descriptions spoke of happiness and peace. Siro closed his eyes tight, feeling tears welling up once more as he forcefully rolled up the piece of paper, opened one of the drawers of his plain wooden dresser and shoved it all the way in the back.
Slamming the drawer closed, he blew out the flame in the lamp and threw himself onto his bed. All lies, he thought to himself bitterly. Pure lies.
Additional Notes
- Yangchen's statement that there were 20,791 trees in the nirvana is a reference to the user, Aang20791.
- The quote "the light causing a ripple effect in sky, appearing to bend the sky" is a reference to the user, Skybender101.
- The "Unspoken Memory" is the additional suspenseful plot twist that was promised readers in this chapter. It will be referenced in later chapters. The concept of the "Unspoken Memory" is based off the concept of "The Jenna Thing" from the Pretty Little Liars series.
- Siro's dreams of becoming a writer directly relate to the author's dreams of becoming a writer.
- It should be pretty obvious who the unseen Avatar was on the battlefield in Syra's dream.

Snooki has delivered -- and not just ratings!
MTV's beach-bunny reality star, Snooki of Jersey Shore, gave birth to her first child, a boy, in New Jersey just before 3 a.m. today. Reports that she had gone into labor emerged late Saturday.
MTV reported on its website that Nicole Polizzi's baby was born at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J. Lorenzo Dominic LaValle weighed 6 pounds, 5 ounces. Snooki's fiance, Jionni LaValle, was with her.
"The world just got another Guido!!!" a rep for Snooki said in an e-mail statement.
"Looks like the Seaside Heights house just got its latest roomie," MTV said. "We look forward to Lorenzo's first trip to the Jersey Shore and can't wait to see his first animal print onesie."
Snooki, 24, and LaValle announced their engagement and their baby at the same time in March. The pregnancy has been documented on her spinoff show, Snooki and Jwoww, and will also be featured on JS when its new season begins in October.
Urged by MTV to leave comments, fans reacted mostly with congrats and good wishes.

Malaysia Finds 3 Bodies in Indonesia Sinking Rescue; 37 Still Missing
KUALA LUMPUR—Malaysia on Sunday recovered the bodies of three Indonesians whose boat sank late Thursday, bringing the number of people missing to 37.
"The rescue operation is still going on but chances of survival are slim," Amran Daud, a commander at the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, told The Wall Street Journal.
A wooden boat carrying 44 Indonesians, including women and children, believed to be illegal workers in Malaysia, capsized in choppy waters 13 nautical miles off Johor state, Mr. Amran said. It sank about three hours into its journey from Tanjung Sedili on the state's east coast en route to Indonesia's Batam island.

It seems you can't swing a dead cat these days without whacking a Rupert Murdoch hit piece.
It must have been the New York Times' turn at the plate so to speak Thursday, and writer Richard Perez-Pena was more than up to the challenge.
After an introduction of Peter R. Kann, the Chairman and CEO of Dow Jones, the company Murdoch is trying to buy, Perez-Pena appeared loaded for bear (emphasis added throughout):
Mr. Kann, who had been advising the family against selling, expressed hope that Mr. Murdoch would not prevail, using an image of The Journal as a citadel trying to repel an invasion by tabloid barbarians.
"The drawbridge is up," Mr. Kann told the group. "So far, so good."
News Corp is a tabloid barbarian? Wow. Nice reference, wouldn't you agree? Yet, Perez-Pena was just getting warmed up:
"There's a real culture of passion for the truth, for shining lights in dark places and making the mysterious understood," said a reporter, one of dozens of people interviewed at The Journal and Dow Jones, nearly all of whom asked for anonymity, fearing a backlash from the current regime or the next one. "The overwhelming view here is that under Murdoch, that gets compromised from Day One, and that idea is devastating, heartbreaking, to people."
Yep. All of News Corps' media outlets do nothing but lie to the public and distort the truth. Interesting analysis to read in one of America's most disgraceful propagandists, don't you think?

Ariana Grand – Morning Wood
Released: October 22, 2014
Ariana was expecting to find her brother in the bathroom, so imagine her surprise when instead it's his big, hung friend who just happened to spend the night. He has a case of morning wood, and she wants to help him out. His cock is pretty big, so she uses her hands, along with plenty of spit, to help her mouth out. His wood is only getting harder, and she knows she needs to bring her pussy into the equation if she wants to get him off. Ariana's got big, meaty folds that you can really suck on. Her brother's friend's cock slides right in and she's moaning, and rubbing her clit in no time.

By Doyle Rice, USA TODAY
June 2009 was the planet's second-warmest June ever recorded, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported Friday. Only 2005 was warmer. When just ocean areas are included, it was the warmest June ever. Global records began in 1880.
"Large portions of each inhabited continent were substantially warmer than average during June 2009," NOAA's National Climatic Data Center wrote in an online report "The warmest anomalies were most notable in parts of Africa and most of Eurasia."
The main cause for the warmth was the development of El Niño, a warming of tropical Pacific ocean water that affects weather patterns worldwide. "If El Niño conditions continue to mature as projected by NOAA, global temperatures are likely to continue to threaten previous record highs," noted the report.
Overall, for the first half of the year, 2009 is the fifth-warmest year on record for the Earth, with an average global temperature nearly 1 degree above average. Only 1998, 2002, 2005, and 2007 had a higher average temperature for the first six months of the year. In 2009, warmer-than-average conditions were recorded across much of the world's land areas, with the exception of cooler-than-average temperatures across Canada.
In the USA, the climate center reported earlier this week that the USA is having its 25th-warmest year on record, with only North Dakota experiencing below-average temperatures.

The Beastie Boys
Lawsuits are something that the entertainment world is no stranger to and now The Beastie Boys are in the midst of a legal battle at most untimely moment.
The day before the death of band member, Adam 'MCA' Yauch, TufAmerica filed a lawsuit against the legendary band in New York's federal court claiming that The Beastie Boys allegedly stole music from the '80s band Trouble Funk for two of their biggest albums.
It has been a rough weekend for the Beastie Boys, as founding member Adam Yauch passed away on Friday at age 47.
And finally, Adam Horovitz has broken his silence to share his reaction to losing his friend and bandmate.
The music industry lost one of its most influential members on Friday (May 4). Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys was a contributing factor to a revolution in rap music and he will be greatly missed.
The 47-year-old rapper, a.k.a. MCA, may have lost his three year battle with cancer, but he left his mark on the world as he transformed out of his notorious party animal reputation into an independent film creator and philanthropist.
It's a sad day in the world of hip-hop, as one of its pioneers, Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch has passed away.
The "Sure Shot" rapper, nicknamed MCA, was diagnosed with cancer back in 2009, though it's still being determined whether or not his death was the result of the disease.
Mounting a career comeback, the Beastie Boys have put together a short film titled "Fight For Your Right Revisited."
And yesterday they released a two-minute trailer, including appearances from quite a few celebrity pals.
They've been innovating the hip hop scene since the 1980s, and the Beastie Boys are back with a new single.
Ad Rock, Mike D, and MCA return with some fresh sounds in the form of "Make Some Noise" from their forthcoming album Hot Sauce Committee Part 2.

Use of Powerfolder deduplicating backup/sync software.
I've been trialing the server version of Powerfolder and altough I think I Liek the software there are 2 issues that bother me.
1. The way it stores the data from bacup pc's on the server is, well, everything from all computers in one folder!?
2. I noticed at a moment (with only 2 computers having a few folders that where already backupped) that my internet conenction from the office (where the server is located) was terribly slow and not working. Further more my customer website's (on that same server) where not reachable.
I had hundres of connections to Powerfolder from Ip addresses I dont'know. After some investigation and confirmed by powerfolder support, my server is intentionaly used (or abused to me) by other clients from Powerfolder to relay data. I could not find any prove that it stors data on my server for other clients, but it certanly used my connection and server to relay data. I monitored that in a timeframe of 40 hours I got a total trafic of 82GB!!! Nothing changed on my computers in the backup folder in that timeframe. So the data is probably fully due to Powerfolder other customers.
Can anyone confirm me this? I like the software alot, but Powersupport is giving my answers beside the question and I find this pretty gross.

Dolphins move on with search; Ross says GM will have final say on roster
The Dolphins are expected to begin GM interviews shortly and have asked to several candidates to interview, according to league source
More NFL: Coaching change tracker | Latest coaching news
The Miami Dolphins are expected to begin GM interviews shortly and have asked several candidates to interview, according to a league source.
The Dolphins have asked the Titans for permission to interview exec Lake Dawson, the Browns for Ray Farmer, the Falcons for Lionel Vital and the Steelers for Omar Khan, according to league sources. Assistant general manager Brian Gaine is also highly regarded and is expected to get consideration, and the search could certainly involve other candidates as well, like Philadelphia's Tom Gamble.
Jason Licht of the Cardinals has also been asked to interview, bringing the list of candidates to seven. Furthermore, league sources said the Dolphins have interest in a few execs still involved in the playoffs, and that could include Jimmy Raye (Colts) and Scot McCloughan (Seahawks), according to sources.
It is unclear to many candidates how much authority they would have, if they would have final say, and who, exactly they would reporting to. The degree of authority will have significant sway in their degree of interest and it remains a big question around the league whether or not executive vice president Dawn Aponte would be the direct superior to the new GM, and how much influence she would exert. If she is a big part of this equation that would be a significant red flag for top candidates.
Also, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has released a statement saying this would be a true GM job with final say over the roster, with the GM reporting directly to him. And, John Wooten of the Fritz Pollard Alliance, which oversees diversity in NFL hiring practices, said that a senior Dolphins official "assured me that is not the case" about any concerns he previously harbored about this process, and he has advised African-American and Latin American candidates to pursue this job as they would any other, with no trepidation.
"I told those guys, everything is fine," Wooten said.

First of all, after working in construction for the past 15 years I can tell you about having a bad back. One of the few things that has helped me is finding a massage therapist which is why I'm writing this. Hopefully you enjoy 🙂
Choosing a good massage therapist is challenging, but it is not very hard. A good therapist will give you the best massages and you will love the massage sessions. But if you choose a wrong one, you will not enjoy your massage sessions. That is why it is important to learn how to choose the right massage therapist.
The following are the top tips for finding the best massage therapist.
1. Know the Experience of the Massage Therapist
If you want to find a good massage therapist, then you should ask about their experience. Those with more experience are better. They have become experts and you will get the best services when you use them. They offer great massages. They have been working for several years, so they know what they are doing.
I've used a massage therapy Bedford team that has done wonders for my back, like I said I was in construction for quite a while. They seem to have great reviews on their Yelp listing. Also take a quick look at their YP page too.
You need to avoid the ones who don't have experience. They might have started offering massages recently, so they might not know what they are doing and some of them might not be skilled. Therefore, you will not enjoy their sessions and you will wish that the sessions were shorter. That is why it is important for you to work with therapists, who have been working for several years.
2. Check the Quality of Oils and Creams Used
You will only get good results if you use quality massage oils and creams. You need to check this when you are looking for a massage therapist. A good massage therapist knows the importance of creams in massage. They will thrive to use the best ones that are available in the market. You will get awesome results when you use these therapists.
Wikipedia also has some great information on this as well.
You need to avoid the ones who use low quality creams and oils. There are some therapists who charge very high prices for their services, but they are not using the best oils and creams. They are not serious about their work and you will be wasting your time and money by hiring these therapists.
3. Duration of the Massage Session
You should consider this when you are searching for a therapist because there are some that provide short massage session and others that provide long massage session. If you want a long massage session, then chose the one that provide long massage sessions. You will never have to worry about your sessions being short again.
You need to check the facility and make sure that you will be comfortable staying in that facility. This is important because if you won't be comfortable in that facility, then you won't enjoy the massage sessions. Therefore, you need to check their furniture also, and make sure that they are comfortable.
4: Your Budget (Extra Tip)
Last, but not least, you need to know the amount that you are willing spend on the massage therapist. These therapists charge different prices, so you should look for the best ones that charge the prices that you are comfortable with. But you need to make sure that the service of the therapist is the best.
Compare their prices online. Most of these therapists have websites and you can visit them to check their prices. Also, you need to read the reviews of each therapist you want to use. The therapist you choose should have a lot of positive reviews. Avoid the ones that have negative reviews because they might not be good at what they are doing.
These are the best things that you need to consider when you are searching for a good massage therapist. These tips will help you in making the right decision. You will choose a good therapist that will give you great massages.

Kristen and Gavin finally arrive to Kevin's home with their stuff. They knock on the door so Kevin will open it.
"Oh hello you two. Come in." Said Kevin.

They all sit in the chairs Kevin has in the living room.
"So what's the surprise visit for?" Asked Kevin, wondering.
"Well, Kristen's idea was to come and tell you something important about us." Explained Gavin.
Kevin was shocked, he knew Kristen didn't like him so he wondered what she was planning.

"Oh really well what is it?" Asked Kevin.
"I'm expecting a child." Said Kristen with happiness.
Kevin gets up and out of his chair, he smiles.
"Ah, well who's is it? Because I know it can't be my son's." Said Kevin with a smile.
Kristen was enraged.
"How dare you call me a whore." Said Kristen with anger.
"Please don't start, we came here to visit. I don't want any fighting with you two." Said Gavin.
"I'm sorry son, but I don't trust this woman. She is evil I can tell." Addressed Kevin.
Kristen then gets up.
"You know what, Gavin, I'm going to a hotel I don't wish to be here." Said Kristen.
Gavin tries to calm her down.

Eleanor arrives from the company and sees Philip.
"Ah, you are back now." Said Philip.
Eleanor does not reply to him and walks to the staircase, but he stops her and forces her to reply to him.
"Now, I need you to cut the crap." Addressed Philip cruelly.
Eleanor then slaps Philip violently.
"THATS ENOUGH PHILIP, I'VE HAD IT!" Yelled Eleanor violently.

Philip is impacted to the max.
"What do you mean?" Asked Philip with anger.
"I've absolutely had it, I've tried to be the good understanding wife. But that does not work with you." Said Eleanor fed up.
Philip then gets Eleanor and throws her onto the ground.
"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT OR DONT WANT, YOU ARE MY WIFE AND WILL ACT LIKE IT!" Yelled Philip.
Eleanor gets up in shock.
"NO, NO MORE MISTREATS!" Yelled back Eleanor.
"What are you planning to do to stop me?" Asked Philip sarcastically.
"Philip, I want the divorce. If you don't give it to me, I'll take this to court. Your choice." Addressed Eleanor.

Stewart, I am from Bacon County, adjacent to Jeff Davis county (Hazlehurst). There are indeed a number of Usserys living in Jeff Davis County. Many started as Ursys around Gibson in Glascock County, formerly part of Warren County. Prior to Glascock many had been just over the river from Augusta in SC. There is a lot of information to be found on the Glascock message boards. If I can help you further please ask. Happy hunting. You prolly have sone Cherokee or Greek blood in your veins.

JOYNES ROOM EVENT: Alison Bechdel
Thu, November 6, 2008 | Joynes Room, Carothers 007
From Publishers Weekly Starred Review. This autobiography by the author of the long-running strip, Dykes to Watch Out For, deals with her childhood with a closeted gay father, who was an English teacher and proprietor of the local funeral parlor (the former allowed him access to teen boys). Fun Home refers both to the funeral parlor, where he put makeup on the corpses and arranged the flowers, and the family's meticulously restored gothic revival house, filled with gilt and lace, where he liked to imagine himself a 19th-century aristocrat. The art has greater depth and sophistication that Dykes; Bechdel's talent for intimacy and banter gains gravitas when used to describe a family in which a man's secrets make his wife a tired husk and overshadow his daughter's burgeoning womanhood and homosexuality. His court trial over his dealings with a young boy pushes aside the importance of her early teen years. Her coming out is pushed aside by his death, probably a suicide. The recursively told story, which revisits the sites of tragic desperation again and again, hits notes that resemble Jeanette Winterson at her best. Bechdel presents her childhood as a "still life with children" that her father created, and meditates on how prolonged untruth can become its own reality. She's made a story that's quiet, dignified and not easy to put down. (June)

Boaters may be able to launch for free this year from Canal Street in Green Lake.
During the city's Council of the Whole meeting Monday, Mayor Jon McConnell floated the idea.
McConnell said the proposal came from the Parks & Recreation Committee after a discussion with Ald. Dusty Walker.
Walker had brought up the idea of a sign directing boaters to the Canal Street launch at a Parks & Rec meeting last October, concerned that traffic at the Deacon Mills Park launch congests in the summer.
"That sparked some conversations," McConnell said, "and during the course of a couple meetings, one of the concerns about a sign was there's no way to judge whether it was effective or not ... because there's no way to quantify the numbers if there is any more traffic or anything like that."
So the committee came up with another idea to steer boats from Deacon Mills Park to Canal Street: free launching.
"The Park & Rec board approved that and is asking for the council's approval ... for a one-year basis, to try it out," McConnell said.
Read more about the proposal in the Feb. 9, 2017 edition of the Ripon Commonwealth Press.

My first sardine – that wasn't out of a tin – was in Portugal when I was 16. My dad had been talking about sardines for weeks before our departure (he still gets excited about them, and handles them with such tenderness as he grills their silver bodies that I find it moving). It was our first family holiday abroad. We arrived at midnight and, on our journey from the airport, couldn't see much more than whitewashed buildings, polytunnels and the odd palm tree. It all looked a bit untidy. But early the next morning, light flooded our bedroom and my sister and I flung open the shutters. The house was on a beach where fishermen were pulling in boats painted in primary colours and inspecting their haul of glittering sardines. My sister and I looked at each other, jaws dropped. The sight so matched our romantic notion of a perfect holiday that we couldn't believe it was real. At lunchtime we ate platefuls of sardines, and that flavour – the salty, slightly crunchy skin, the sweet, oily flesh, the contrasting bitterness of the bits that have been charred – still takes me to a place that is hot, bright and blue.
The sardines I cook at home could just as well have been caught off the Cornish coast as in foreign waters. But my favourite way to eat them is still grilled with salt (washed down with the most acidic white wine I can get my hands on, preferably a Portuguese vinho verde). Since they're relatively cheap and good for you I've hunted around for more recipes over the years. As is often the way with food, sardines are good with ingredients that either echo their most distinctive characteristics or contrast wildly with them.
Sicilians emphasise their sweetness by stuffing them with raisins, bread and pine nuts, or serving them with spaghetti, saffron and currants. Venetians keep the sweet element and produce sarde in saor – fried sardines layered up with onions, raisins and pine nuts – but relieve it with vinegar in which it marinates for days. The Spanish make escabeche, fried sardines pickled in vinegar, spices and herbs. There are ingredients that cut against the fish's oiliness but aren't as brash as vinegar: raw onion and fennel, grapefruit, orange, preserved lemons, cucumber and yogurt (a bowl of Greek tzatziki is a good partner).
There's nothing wrong with tinned sardines (I lived on them in Paris as a student) but I have a favourite fresh version. Smear warm bread with olive oil and a smidgen of harissa. Top with grilled sardine fillets and slow-roasted tomatoes or sliced cucumbers with mint. Add a spoonful of garlicky yogurt and eat wherever you can find a patch of sunshine.

On The Money
Design Tools for Creating Community Currencies
August 14 – 18 in the Findhorn Ecovillage
with John Rogers & Jonathan Dawson
featuring eminent guest speakers Richard Douthwaite,
Margrit Kennedy & Bernard Lietaer by teleconference
plus other local money practioners
"The way that money works today is one of the great invisible drivers of our rapacious earth- and community-devouring economy. So much so that green economist, Richard Douthwaite, has said: "If people living in an area cannot trade among themselves without using money issued by outsiders, their local economy will always be at the mercy of events elsewhere. The first step is for any community aiming to become more self-reliant is therefore to establish its own currency system".
It is with this very much in mind that Findhorn College has created a 5-day course in community currency design called On The Money that runs from August 14 – 18 in the Findhorn Ecovillage – please visit findhorncollege.com for more details and to download a flyer. The week will be held by currency designers, John Rogers and Jonathan Dawson, and includes teleconference presentations and discussions involving internationally celebrated community currency experts, Richard Douthwaite, Margrit Kennedy and Bernard Lietaer.

A baker in England has made these gorgeous cake pops (featuring some Apple logos and Steve Jobs's likeness) to raise some donation money for a pancreatic cancer charity. The pops will go on sale next Wednesday in London, when cake blogger and maker "Miss Cakehead" is set to open up a "Steve Jobs Inspired Cake Shop." The whole event is part of something called Internet Week Europe, and all proceeds from the Steve sweets will be donated to Pancreatic Cancer UK.
We can't be in the UK by then, unfortunately, but we hope the cakes get all the money they're worth, considering just how great they look. And we're very curious to see what a "Steve Jobs Inspired Cake Shop" looks like. If anyone in the neighborhood over there is reading this, be sure to take pictures!

Skip to comments.Vanity: Facebook Down over 5% at opening bell May 29. Headed towards sub-$30.
Posted on 05/29/2012 8:11:20 AM PDT by C19fan
It makes you wonder if the Facebook IPO was overpriced to start with. After all, any investment, such as Facebook stock, will find its true market value, based on the collective decisions of buyers and sellers.
I wonder too, why was everyone so excited about the Facebook IPO? What exactly does Facebook do? What product or goods or services do they sell, to get revenue into that company? Is the main reason Facebook has value, because millions of people go there and see the ads? So advertisers who actually do produce a product to sell, will advertise there???
When it gets to $27 Zuckerberg and friends will buy back 50% of the IPO shares,announce a new whiz bang gadget to make FB more appealing and pocket the profits as it rises to $40, then they'll play the zuckers all over again. I will never understand how FB makes any profit. The ads, while targeted to the individual by profile are easy to ignore.They don't have the impact of say a page 5 full pager in the Sunday NYT. Does market research show significant upswing in sales when an ad is placed on FB?
Then came the media hype.
The same media which can sell the most unqualified man to ever run for the office as presidential material can sell a $20 stock for $35 . . . for a limited time.
I read an article that suggested its actual value is between $6 and $7 for that many shares. But this is really just the Dot Com bust redux.
You couldn't be more correct!
I heard one analyst on Fox Business this morning saying if it goes below 30, it will fall to 13.
I think those analysts on Fox Business and CNBC are full of ****. I bet the same person talked about how FB was going to go to pop at the IPO to over $50+.
My theory on facebook advertising is that every game or company you "like" sells your information to another, then another... a kiting scam of sorts. I don't think the revenue generated is actual sales of products but instead mailing lists.
Exactly. Remember back in the late 90s? Dotcom IPO Mania swept the investment world. Kids were creating websites, getting lots of hits and going IPO (before there was even any advertising revenue coming in). Every investor knew there was no product to sell. There was little to no value in the "business." Most of the companies weren't even selling anything. But, the formula was to get in early and get out before it went back down. Insider trading was rampant (I had some opportunities myself but had no money to invest). The wave finally found land in 1999/2000, right before "Mark to Market", Tyco, Enron then 9/11 in 2001.
Stocks have been more thoroughly vetted for the most part since then as the free market finally did correct itself. It's rare that FB IPO type of stuff happens these days (emotional driven stock price runs).
These days something more sinister is happening to over-value stocks. The government is fueling stock price hikes and providing the capital to allow stock price manipulation. When you can afford to buy huge chunks of the shares available for sale to drive up the price and then sell, you can spike a stock price for yourself. When you can tell a couple of well financed folks what you are planning to do, you can make the effect more dramatic and further your quick proffits. It's like a fixed game of blackjack. It's nice to know on which hand all the Aces and Faces in the deck will be dealt. Put your money in on one hand and walk away after the hand is over.
facebook has ads?
103 times earnings??? and that was before GM pulled out its $800,000. And now that they have gone public, they won't be able to hide their falling revenue like they did before, and many of their employees will now want a real paycheck instead of stock — all of which will be a drain on revenue.
Actually for the folks who got paid out of this, Zuckerburg et al, its the greatest legal theft on record.
This stock is at best an $8-$10 stock. They got it out the door at $38 and idiots actually bought it.
Reality is, its going to continue to tank, because its P/E is so rediculously out of whack, and so many folks have stock in the company that are waiting to dump as much as they can, that its going to just continue to nosedive.
If you have money with an investment firm that bought into this IPO, my advice to you is get your cash out of there now. Any investment manager who would have looked at this thing and though it was REMOTELY worth $20 let alone $38 a share and bought it is an idiot.
Now I know most of those guys got it at $25 or so, so they were looking at automatic 60% return on the money the minute it started selling, so a short flip for them okay, but seriously?
Now that its tanking to those levels, you will see some of them try to support it, but even that will be limited, this things a stinker, and has been from day one.
This IPO was, like most TECH IPO's about making a few folks rich, not about providing capital for current or long terms needs of the company.
Honest to God, I've been through 2 successful IPO's and work for several public and private companies, and I would never in a million years go PUBLIC unless I had no other choice, if my goal was to build the long term viability of my business. The abject nonsense, bloat and BS that comes with being public, I would ONLY persue if I needed the kinds of capital I could not get on from the corporate bond or lending markets. OR I was ready to just take my payday and not give a damn about the company long term.
Fakebook has fallen below $30.

Find and integrate your personal symbols into your art journal
In this course you will be introduced to four different sources of symbolism: spirit animals, archetypes, elemental and female symbols. For each totem, Vanessa will guide you through how to find your personal symbols and will teach interactive and intuitive art techniques that will allow you to incorporate each symbol, in a deeper way, into your artwork.
This course is a personal journey to identify elements in your personality and life. Once you have identified your symbol, you will learn ways to represent them in your art to best express yourself in ways other than words or photographs of yourself.
You do not need any prior knowledge of personal symbols to take this course as Vanessa will walk you through each step of understanding, researching, seeking, identifying and incorporating unique symbols in your work and life.

Instant access to the course, hosted on a private membership site
17 videos with over 10 hours of Vanessa teaching, sharing examples from her own art journals and art technique videos
100s of resources and recommendations for finding your own symbols

Your Teacher
Vanessa Oliver-Lloyd
Vanessa is an avid art journaler. Her journey into this medium started in 2012 and she has loved every second of her artistic evolution.

My WSUS3.0 Server showing updates needed to installin some of the client PC's . But those client machines are uptodate.
How do i solve this problem.
I am running Windows sbs2011 server .
5 Replies
Jun 26, 2012 at 10:09 UTC
Sounds like you have some clients that are not talking to WSUS. If it's not that many clients, walk over to each one and run the following command.
Wuauclt.exe \detectnow
Wuauclt.exe \reportnow
Rare, but works when the two above do not: wuauclt.exe /resetauthorization /detectnow
This should re-register those clients. If that doesn't work, make sure the clients are in the appropriate WSUS groups and have their updates approved.
Hope this helps.
Jun 26, 2012 at 10:11 UTC
Verify on the WSUS server you have all updates approved or declined, that could be why. You also may have to approve the updates for those machines. Don't forget to run wuauclt /detectnow in the run box on the local machines. And you can always run a report from the WSUS management tool to see what updates it thinks are missing.
Jun 26, 2012 at 10:11 UTC
I have dealt with the WSUS.
I also had problems.
My solution:
First Visit the Windows Update page on the Internet
MS checks whether the conditions are met.
Second Using the tool "WSUS Helper" - http:/
- Clear Downloads
- Reset ID
- Detect Now
- Report Now
After that, the problems solved

Were those machines cloned at any time? At some point, Ghost did not change the SUSiD in the Registry. Find the entry, delete it, and then try the wuauclt commands again.

Self Pictures is exactly as its title's describes. The Webmaster has searched the Internet looking for the hottest guys taking the best selfies. This is a site that is definitely NSFW (not safe for work) simply because of all the cock shots that are featured.
You have good-looking guys either completely naked, or shirtless, or wearing a shirt with no bottom wear. There are a few pictures where the guy is fully clothed. But the common thread is that the cock shot is very much front and center. Only complaint is the lack of variety and race of the guys. I would assume the webmasters tastes in guys are twinks or well-defined guys that are White. Cause that is the only type pf guy featured on this site. But if that is your taste as well, then you will like this site a lot.


text: By Pete Najarian, co-founder of OptionMonsterNEW YORK ( OptionMonster) -- Option traders are looking for a rebound in Invesco Mortgage Capital ( IVR), which has taken a significant hit this quarter. Buyers were focused on the November 14 contracts Tuesday, initially paying 80 cents but then 90 cents as the stock pushed higher, according to OptionMonster's real-time tracking systems. More than 6,800 of those calls traded, 50 times the open interest when the session began, indicating that these are new positions. Invesco's stock rose 0.35% to $14.18 Tuesday but was above $20 back in July. The company, which finances and manages mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, recently issued a secondary stock offering to address losses. Overall more than 7,000 calls traded at all strikes versus 679 puts in Tuesday's session, and total volume was triple the daily average for the name. The activity followed call selling in Invesco's November 15 contracts last week, a bet that upside would be limited. Najarian has no positions in IVR.
