The player reported that he was told that the transfer should have been paid in two weeks, but that time-frame has not been honored. InstantActionSports has also stopped responding to the player's emails. The sports betting site has struggled with paying players considered to be "non-recreational" on time as these players are seemingly ranked lower on the priority list to be paid. InstantActionSports lost its eWallet processor as reported by SBR in December of last year. SBR will update this report when the player's transfer is completed. InstantActionSports players in need of assistance are asked to submit a sportsbook complaint form.

Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of Alcohol in South Africa
Feb 21st
Posted by admin in Harm Reduction Principles
Source : TalkingAlcohol.com
What is 'moderate drinking'?
The Addiction Action Campaign congratulates SAB Miller for providing this information to South Africans. "However, this information should be household knowledge. What we'd like to see is their adverts showing responsible use that doesn't encourage people to have one more", said Warren Whitfield AAC founder and C.E.O.
SAB Miller have shown a commitment to reducing the harm that alcohol causes to South Africans and are currently considering making funding available for addiction treatment. "This will be a first for South Africa if they do decide to fund treatment and we hope that this will encourage other companies in similar industries to do the same", he said.
There is no single definition of 'moderate drinking'. Some say it's drinking that doesn't cause problems for the drinker or for society. Others suggest it's about drinking within the range that maximises the known benefits of alcohol consumption without substantially increasing the risks.
One way of thinking about it is to look at some of the general guidelines available and consider how they fit your circumstances.
That's because people don't react to alcohol in the same way. How we define 'one drink' can differ too. And, finally, customs and cultures are different – what's considered moderate drinking in one country might not be in another.
Many governments produce official drinking guidelines, but these guidelines often vary between countries. Here's how some governments define moderate alcohol consumption:
- US: Two drinks a day for men and one drink a day for women – the guidelines state that drinking at these levels may even provide some protection against heart disease. Twelve fluid ounces of beer counts as one drink
- South Africa: No more than one drink (12 grams of alcohol) per day for women and no more than two drinks per day for men
- UK: An upper limit of 32 grams of alcohol per day for men and 24 grams of alcohol per day for women
- Australia: No more than two standard drinks (10 grams of alcohol per standard drink) per day for both men and women.
"If you exceed the RDA of alcohol consumption, you're misusing alcohol", said Whitfield who believe that the majority of the income generated by alcohol companies comes from misuse. "The reality is that once you've had more than one drink, you're brain chemistry is altered to such a degree that you are more likely to ignore the RDA and misuse alcohol", he said.

Calling him a "great public servant," the Starke County Commissioners praised the service given to the county by the late Bill Schacht this week. Schacht served for many years as a member of the county's Drainage Board.
Commissioner Dan Bridegroom said, "He taught me more about drainage than anyone could have, and I appreciate everything he told me. He will be greatly missed."
Schacht's death leaves a position open on the drainage board, and the commissioners are looking for someone from district three to apply. District three takes in Railroad, Wayne, and Jackson Townships. Those interested can make their interest known to the auditor.
Other members of the board are Ken Porter from district one, Ed Jernas from District two, and commissioners Kathy Norem and Dan Bridegroom.
In closing his tribute to Schacht, Bridegroom said, "The one thing I'll remember that Bill Schacht told me is that, 'If there's a ripple in the water, it's being held up.'"

Your transcribe should read something similar this:

A file approaching this shows that you listened to them and recollect the speech communication. It's a gratifying content that you both agreed to keep the conversation. It shows that you can be trustworthy not to bass them with materials promoting your products and employment. It leaves the door unstop for any number of things. It is relational, not transactional.
In the fundamental nature of the oral communication and of your note, engender the cellular phone telephone call two life after that. If soul different than the somebody you are line answers the call and asks what you're occupation about, use the exact aforementioned spoken language you nearly new in your information. Do not say you are next up, or you lessen everything you've through with so far.

Keep it guileless and dandified. Be arranged for every population not to reappear the ring. If you haven't detected from them in a few days, put their name on your record of ethnic group you livelihood in touch next to in a more detached way and go on to the close somebody.
Invest in the world-class prospects-the ones who can pick out to buy from you when they are in need of what you submission and who are interested in compliance in touch near you when they are not purchase. You will fortify the interactions and shoot your net.

Holy Week: An Equal Opportunity Celebration
That is right, Semana Santa in Guatemala is an equal opportunity celebration. Sure, cucuruchos take the majority of the clicks of cameras and most of the video recorded, but children, women and dogs have a place in the Holy Week celebrations. Women's float or andas are a bit smaller and carry virgins or angels most of the time.
Corozo Palms and its Smell are a Staple of the Holy Week
Just like the Christmas Season comes with its own set of smells, flavors and color palette, so does the Holy Week celebrations. I can bring to you still photos, slide shows, video clips and sounds. But I can not bring you the smells. Like I said back in the Virgin of Guadalupe Day, … the incredible power of the sense of smell can detonate nostalgic memories… if only the smells could be seized like Patrick Süskind suggested in his masterpiece Das Parfum (Perfume). How could one go about imprisoning the mixture of the smells of copal incense, corozo palms, fireworks, pine needles, moisten saw dust, fresh tropical fruits, palm flower arrangements and sweat into a digital format readily available to download onto your own computer?
Underneath a Holy Week Float in La Antigua Guatemala
So much mumble jumble to present the underneath view of a Holy Week float in one of the villages of La Antigua Guatemala. Andas (floats) are not only the affair of cucuruchos, women also participate; and sometimes even chuchos (street dogs) get involved in the penitent act of carrying the heavy float! 😉
Cucurucho Paying for His Turns at the Float
Healthy Lunch: Chef Salad and The New Yorker
Every once in a while is good to stop eating Guatemalan food and eat something healthy, like a chef salad from La Fuente restaurant. A salad and the New Yorker Magazine is what I consider a healthy lunch. The article about an unknown photographer by the name of Eugene De Salignac and his photo of painters spreading out like musical notes, on the Brooklyn Bridge, over the sky line of New York, was most definitely the best dessert I have had in a long while.
Guatemalan Indigenous Singers
I find the singing of the indigenous people extremely haunting and touching, even though, they are singing evangelical hymns. To me this singing has another layer of pain and denouncing which is above the meaning of the words they sing; something much older and more mystical than the religious hymn brought by the European Christianity.
Inside View at La Naranja Pelada Restaurant
Guy's description of the restaurant fit it to the t: "…wood-panelled and decorated with specimens of local 'game' such as snakes, turtles and armadilloes." La Naranja Pelada restaurant falls into the tacky category of restaurants or bars that have an exotic, underground sort of, appeal for intellectuals and ordinary people alike. Another example of this is the bar El Olvido in Guatemala City. I dislike most of what I saw inside La Naranja Pelada (peeled orange), but especially the animal decoration on the walls and bar. Also the full-size 'Marlboro Man' poster is of poor taste in my book. This weekend We rented the film Thank You for Smoking directed by Jason Reitman and there was a chapter about the Marlboro Man who was dying from all the years of smoking. Talk about synchronicity.
Guatemalan Fair: The Pine-needle Processional Carpets
The making of these processional carpets is such a community-forming and bonding activity since in the process participate many, if not all, of the neighbors and family members. These traditions, festive calendar dates and special celebrations mark very strongly what makes a normal human being into a hard-core Guatemalan. You break the link or access to these experiences and you only have a person that was born in Guatemala; a fact as worthless as the fact of having had a pair of boots once.
Guatemalan Fair: The Sawdust Processional Carpets
The People of La Antigua Guatemala and surrounding villages simply love to make processional carpets and the town fair provides the perfect excuse to make sawdust and flower carpets throughout the year; really why wait for Semana Santa (Holy Week).
Guatemalan Fair: The Charcoal-broiled Meat Booth
The charcoal-grilled meat stall has gotten so hip that you now find it not only in fairs, but around La Antigua Guatemala in parks, markets and sidewalks. Back in February 20th, 2007, I showed you an extremely popular stall of grilled meats in Tanque de la Unión park from a bird's eye point of view. In the picture above, chicken and beef steak were being offered along broiled potatoes. Q10 ($1.25) for a portion of the meat of your choice, chirmol (read the side note), guacamol and potatoes; definitely, not too bad of a deal.
Guatemalan Fair: The Seeds Stall
I don't know if you have noticed this, but seeds are very popular in Guatemala. If you recall the entries Name the seeds! or Guatemalan sweets; so it is obvious that seeds had to present in a fair booth. Okay, what do we have here? Peanuts in their shell, Guatemalan pumpkin in melcocha syrup, sesame seeds with melcocha, salty fried or roasted habas (broad beans); that's as far as I can distinguish. Read the entry on Guatemalan sweets if you want to know what is melcocha.
Guatemalan Fair: The Games
The Latin American lottery is played with cardboards of nine images, each cardboard is different, bean or maize counts, and a person calling out aloud the name of the images: La Chalupa, El Borracho, El Catrín, La Campana, El Cantaro, et-cetera. Whoever gets all nine images called out and accounted for with beans or maize seeds wins the lottery, if, and only if they scream with all their lungs LO-TE-RIIIIAAAAA.
Guatemalan Fair: Fresh Fruit Stall
After all the pounds we have gained this week at the San Pedro Las Huertas Fair, it is nice to come across some healthy food. For Q5 ($0.65) we can take any fresh fruit bags and we will need the savings since we already lost quite a few Quetzales at the others fair stands. Now, even though I have shown all these Guatemalan fair food and even describe it as tasteful and delicious, I don't want to pass it as healthy. Fair food is junk food. I am so glad these fair food vendors have not come across the Super Size Me concept!
Guatemalan Fair: The French Fries Stall
Papas fritas is the Guatemalan Spanish name for French fries. Here is the abbreviated history that gave us the Guatemalan french fries stall: first the Quechuas or Incas domesticated the potato (Solanum tuberosum) into a crop in southern Peru and northern Bolivia; the Spanish conquistadors took it to Europe where it was an instant hit and along with maize turned a famine-prone population into a healthy society; somewhere in one of the northern European states, quite possibly Germany, the potato lost its skin and got deep-fried; This Eurpean recipe crossed the Atlantic with the new immigrants that came to U.S. and since it was a foreign-looking recipe, they called it French fries (remember Coneheads); so the French fries came to Guatemala along one of the many incursions from the United Stateians (Americans they seem to call themselves 😉 ) as a side dish for the hamburger or the hot dog. Guatemalans thought that French fries were too good to be side dish and turned it into a meal by itself. That is how the papas fritas cart came to be.
Guatemalan Fair: The Pizza Kiosk
A recent addition to the Guatemalan Fair zoo is the pizza kiosk. Just like many other aspect of modern Guatemala idiosyncrasy, pizza has come to stay, but it must evolve, just like chinese food. So the typical Guatemalan town fair pizza is made from a less tasteful dough, only mozzarella cheese and ham; nothing more. You get your slice and normally ad ketchup to it. The Guatemalan town fair pizza stand is, almost invariable, managed by one or tow young indigenous teenagers or young adults with a taste for extremely heavy rock metal music which they blast from a portable boom box. The pizza booth may have posters describing their pepperoni or salami pizza even though they only sell ham pizza. Go figures!
Guatemalan Fair: The Churreria Stand
A town fair is not a fair without the churros. A churreria is the place where they make churros; [CHOOR-roh] Similiar to a cruller, this Spanish, Mexican and Guatemalan specialty consists of a sweet-dough spiral that is deep-fried and eaten like a doughnut. Churros are usually coated with a mixture of cinnamon and confectioners' (or granulated) sugar (source Answers.com). Just about now after looking the Guatemalan churrería, I got the cravings for a cinnamon-covered bag of churros, would you like an order too? If you don't have a sweet tooth, you can always have plataninas, poporopos, chicharrines, and anillos frescos y calientes; your choice.
Guatemalan Fair: The Typical Booth
We continue the photographic tour of a Guatemalan town fair with a typical booth. Since the inflated toys and balloons are very obvious, we will play the game of naming everything else that you see on the table. I will get you started with the bags of peanuts on the left. Now it is your turn, name as many things as you can recognize. Let the game begin!
Guatemalan Fair: The Ferris Wheel
Ferris wheels are another element of the Guatemalan fair. There is at least one Ferris wheel, but more often two or three of different sizes. The Ferris wheel is known here by these names rueda de Chicago(Chicago Wheel), rueda de la fortuna (wheel of fortune) and vuelta al mundo (around the world). Fairs are made up by all kinds of ambulant stands. Fairs are like accordions, they grow or shrink depending of the size of the community or town. All these photos belong to the San Pedro Las Huertas, a small village just outside and belonging to La Antigua Guatemala. At the end of July, La Antigua Guatemala will have its massive fair in honor of Saint James or Santiago.
Guatemalan Fair: The Church and its Saint
Almost all town fairs and festivities are around the town's patron, in this case is San Pedro Las Huertas, which by the way, means Saint Peter of the vegetable gardens. Since Guatemala was a catholic country for the last 500 years or so and the Mesoamerican indigenous people absorbed and mixed the catholic rituals and traditions with their own religious beliefs and traditions, most Guatemalan towns have a Spanish catholic first name and often an indigenous last name (otherwise known as the original name). For example, Santo Domingo Xenacoj, which means the original name of the town was Xenacoj, and the town was re-christen with Santo Domingo. Now with the above information, we now know that a town's fair happens once-a-year on the town's catholic patron. For San Pedro Las Huertas the date is June 29th and for La Antigua Guatemala is July 25th because the city used to be called The Very Noble and Very Loyal City of Saint James of the Lords of Guatemala, as mentioned by Manolo a few days ago. And some of you thought La Antigua Guatemala was already a very long name; try explaining to your friends and relatives that you are planning a vacation to The Very Noble and Very Loyal City of Saint James of the Lords of Guatemala.

Posted by ESPN.com's James Walker
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers opened their first full-squad, mandatory minicamp Friday to kick off the 2009 season.
Here are some notes and observations:
Inside linebacker Larry Foote was the only no-show Friday. Foote stated publicly that he wants to be released. The team has the option of fining Foote approximately $9,000 for missing this weekend's practices. But Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said that will not be the case, because Foote has remained in constant contact with the team.
"We will not fine Larry," Tomlin said. "He and I agreed mutually that it was best for all parties involved for him not to be here this weekend."
Second-year players Limas Sweed and Rashard Mendenhall looked pretty good on the first day of minicamp. Sweed, a second-year receiver, made several nice catches Friday while Mendenhall's quickness and vision are still apparent. Mendenhall said he's now able to lift weights again to regain some of the muscle mass he lost while sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Another player in the final year of his contract, starting tailback Willie Parker, said he's not going to cause a scene this offseason. Parker plans to show up for all the camps, and said he's disappointed with his performance and various injuries last year.
"I got to make the best decision, and I think the best decision is to be around the team and help the best way as possible," Parker said.
To help prevent injuries Parker said he spent this offseason doing Pilates, which he deemed "kind of girly" but helpful at the same time.
A funny play happened in team drills Friday when undrafted rookie receiver Steven Black of Memphis went across the middle against the first-team defense. Backup quarterback Charlie Batch hit Black right in the numbers when a hard-charging James Harrison scared Black so much that he dropped the ball. Even in non-contact drills, the Pro Bowl linebacker can intimidate.
Pittsburgh made an interesting signing Friday in veteran receiver Shaun McDonald. The seven-year veteran could push Sweed for the No. 3 receiver spot. McDonald was most productive in 2007, when he caught 79 passes for 943 yards and six touchdowns.
"We desire to create competition," Tomlin said. "The only way that we're going to be a really good football team is if we have really good competition and guys competing."
Finally, for those interested in rookie jersey numbers, notables include first-round pick Evander "Ziggy" Hood (No. 96), third-round pick and cornerback Keenan Lewis (No. 20) and Penn State rookie center A.Q. Shipley (No. 61).

Case Conclusion Date: 07.01.2001
Practice Area: Medical malpractice
Outcome: Confidential Settlement
Description: I represented 9 plaintiffs who were patients of a spine surgeon who allegedly had an active cocaine addiction. We alleged that the hospital where he performed complex spinal surgeries was aware of the doctor's cocaine usage but did nothing to protect the patients because the doctor was the #1 source of revenue for the hospital. Several of my clients sustained severe nerve damage and were permanently disabled as a result of the surgery performed by this doctor whose license to practice medicine has been suspended. This case was featured on a national news show.

It's good to see a possible new enthusiast getting acquainted with the sport. I wish there was a close-up of her face when she was through shooting and a quick peek at the target.
Reminds me of the folks I was fortunate enough to introduced to the shooting sports, a few of which had nothing but disgust with anything that had to do with firearms. Without doubt most all had a much better feeling about shooting once being able to fire some guns and learn they are also used for enjoyment and competition and not just for killing. It does my heart good when one of the bemoaners of firearms, before trying them, states after a few hours at the range…"How's chances of joining you out at the range next time you go and could I bring the wife?"

By Mark Jewell, AP Personal Finance Writer
BOSTON The appeal of bonds may be dimming, as investors took more money out of bond mutual funds than they put in last month. The pullout snapped a two-year string of positive monthly flows into bonds, where investors have sought refuge after the financial crisis soured many people on stocks.
Fund tracker Strategic Insight said Friday that investors pulled $1.3 billion from bond funds in November, first outflow since December 2008.
Last month's outflow stems largely from a sharp increase in money pulled out of municipal bond funds. The net withdrawal of $7.4 billion came amid fears about the financial health of state and local governments. .
Investors appear more confident in the health of corporate America, as they added a net $6.1 billion to taxable bond funds, which don't offer munis' tax advantages.
Still, this wasn't enough to offset what happened with munis. The overall shift out of bond funds marked an about-face from October, when bond funds attracted a net of more than $22 billion.
Investors remained cool to U.S. stock funds last month, with a net $500 million withdrawn. The pace of withdrawals has recently slowed, suggesting investors may be warming to stocks.
U.S. stock fund flows turned positive briefly in the spring. But investors began to pull money out again when the market went through a volatile stretch in May and June amid signs of a faltering economic recovery. Stocks have since recovered.
"As financial confidence slowly rebuilds, U.S. equity funds should benefit in the coming years," said Avi Nachmany, research director with New York-based Strategic Insight.
Last month, stock funds posted total inflows only because investors put more money into stock funds that invest overseas than they pulled out of funds that focus on domestic stocks. The net flow into international stock funds was $8.7 billion in November, the sixth consecutive month of inflows. Overall, the November flow into stock funds was $8.2 billion.
Including both stock funds and bond funds, investors added about $7 billion in net new cash in November. That was down from a net $28 billion added in October.
The recent surge into bonds has been global, with bond mutual funds attracting more than $1 trillion of new money since early 2009, according to Strategic Insight.
Although last month's withdrawals from U.S. bond funds weren't huge, bonds are clearly becoming less appealing to investors. Many are worried about rising interest rates and long-term inflation, which can erode bonds' fixed returns.
Some of this concern was evident as investors pulled out a net $1.9 billion last month from the world's largest mutual fund, Pimco Total Return, according to Morningstar. As with bond funds overall, it was the first monthly outflow in two years at Pimco Total Return. Still, the $256 billion fund run by star bond investor Bill Gross has seen a net $80 billion added since 2008.
Last month's movement came as Pimco Total Return suffered a 1.5% investment loss in November, its worst month since September 2008, Morningstar said. By comparison, a broad measure of bond market performance, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, fell nearly 0.6% for the month.
Bond investors now face substantial long-term risk from an inevitable rise in short-term interest rates, currently near zero. When the Federal Reserve raises rates, prices for bonds with locked-in rates will drop. That's because investors will be able to buy newly issued bonds paying higher interest.
Prices of muni bonds, which are issued to build such public projects as roads and sewer systems, dropped last month at one of the fastest paces since the credit crisis. That decline has also hurt returns at funds that trade the bonds.
Nachmany said he expects flows into bond funds will soon become positive again, since investors remain worried about stock volatility, and many need the regular income streams that bonds provide.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Can you walk into a private or public bar and drink when you are carrying a concealed weapon?
The gun laws in Massachusetts are extraordinarily complex. There are several factors to consider in your question. First, you absolutely cannot carry ANY gun into a public place (a bar for instance) unless you have either; a Firearms Identification Card (FID), or you have License to Carry (LIC). (*There is a whole separate section of Massachusetts law dealing with fully automatic weapons, but I'm assuming you aren't referring to those.)
Unless you are a police officer, work for the government, or hunting, you can never carry a loaded rifle or shotgun anywhere on a public way. If the rifle or shotgun is unloaded, you may carry but the weapon must be in a case (there is an exception if you're participating in the reenactment of a historical battle). I told you this was complex.
The laws go on and on. However, I would advise that even you have a license or FID card, do not carry even an unloaded firearm in a bar or restaurant. Massachusetts allows people to store guns in their cars as long as it is in a lock box. Carrying a loaded weapon in a restaurant or bar (even with a license) in Massachusetts is not a good idea.Ask a similar question

Heat show support for Clippers with silent protest
Credit: The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Miami Heat showed solidarity with the Los Angeles Clippers over the Donald Sterling controversy before Monday night's playoff game against the Charlotte Bobcats.
Like the Clippers did on Sunday, the Heat ran out of the tunnel wearing their warmups, huddled at center court and tossed their white shooting T-shirts to the ground. They then went through their pregame routine with their red Heat warmup jerseys inside out, hiding the team's logo.

Ok well as you all know, Luffy never ACTUALLY fought with Smoker, since #1 he was just basically helpless against Smoker, and #2 he usually got inturrupted by someone who comes to the rescue. (Dragon, Hancock) Wellll, now that luffy has haki, and Smoker is (probably) in the new world now, the real Luffy vs Smoker should be coming up somewhere; i'd say about next year or maybe a little farther. Smoker always had an advantage of being a logia, but now that doesn't matter because haki is to the rescue. Now I wonder what the outcomes will be. also, smoker's seastone weapon was destroyed by Hancock so unless he got a new one, it'll be interesting to see how he fights. I also wonder; what the heck is smoker's weakness?! I mean like, all devil fruits have weaknesses, and I could tell the weak points of people like Croc and Enel right of the bat, but smoke... thats a hard one. I wonder if it'll ever be revealed, now that haki came into action.
Now for Coby. our coby I know we all love. anyway. COBY HAS HAKI!!! that was kind of shocking right there, though it wasn't haoshoku haki. I am sooo eager to see what happened to Coby after 2 yrs. I mean, I know he won't just sit there drinking tea and do nothing.... I wonder what rank officer he is now! I hope he's like a vice admiral or even an admiral, since he's gotta catch up to Luffy by now. I go for vice admiral. just saying. Oh and now that Garp quit, who trains Coby and Helmeppo??? maybe the guy with the coat and hat thats always around Garp? (dunno his name xp) Anyway, I know coby's a fast learner ,though not as fast as luffy, since he learned some of the rokushiki moves in like, what, less than a year. What I hope is that Coby didn't change too much and became all gorilla muscular... caz that is just... not coby. well anyway, yeah, thanks for reading, and tell me your thoughts.

Homelessness is the condition and societal category of people who lack fixed housing, usually because they cannot afford a regular, safe, and adequate shelter. The term "homelessness" may also include people whose primary nighttime residence is in a homeless shelter, in an institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized, or in a public or private place not designed for use as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings. A small number of people choose to be homeless nomads, such as some Romani people (Gypsies) and members of some subcultures. An estimated 100 million people worldwide are homeless.

Upon starting the truck none of the needles on the dash move and all the fuses are good, checked them all a few times.
Could it be my neutral safety switch
horn does not work
Also when driving the truck let's say I come to a red light or a stop sign the truck feels like it's about to stall and the engine will sputter for a few seconds and then recover. I just had the fuel pump and filter replaced about 2 weeks ago so I don't know what could be causing these moments where it feels like the truck will stall! I can have it in drive and be stopped and I can feel the engine sputter sometimes
I can't find the drain plug on the radiator, you you please let me know where it is?
My AC will usually work after starting the car, but at different times stop working along the way. Blows cold air when working. Been told need to replace compressor, by doubt thats the problem. I've had this problem with AC for some time. Now my fuel gauge has started to work off and on.
gas pump stop at nine gallons-gas guage show full with about half tank
Turns over occasional backfire appears to be pulling oil to intake just purchased well kept has oil all over the top end it's a 4.0 could cranking be timeing or the anti theft I need it to crank to determine the motors statis
I changed the fuel pump and the drive module. Now every time I turn the key after replacing the fuel pump fuse it blows it. Is it a short? The wiring harness to he drive module had a red wire that went nowhere.
I was driving and my interior and exterior lights started going on and off.
hear sound when accelerating over 40 miles
When I shut off the air and slow down, the roar stops and air works. This is only at lower rpm. Last time the roar began, the temp gage peaked, but the engine was not hot. When I restarted, the roar stopped and the gage went to normal. Can anyone give me some advice as to where to begin?
rattling sound as well but giving gas up to 1.4 rpm picks up pressure. What next??
I bought the truck new in MAY 2010. I had all the scheduled dealer maintenance completed as scheduled and the vehicle has never been off road. The four wheel drive has been engaged twice, and the majority of the miles have been on the highway. Thirty miles from FT Leonard Wood the transmission began slipping. The vehicle was sluggish when accelerating from a stopped position causing a hazard in city driving or merging onto the interstate. The vibration increased on the highway at speeds above 50 MPH making it difficult to steer. When I arrived at my destination, I dropped it at the dealership the next day for service. The service representative called and informed 2 maintenance lights were on for engine and transmission service. I agreed to move forward with the scheduled maintenance. The dealership called later that day and informed me I needed a new transmission but could not explain what the codes meant or the cost of repair. I asked for clarification, but no one ever got back to me with an update. I received a text my truck was ready for pick up, but the staff could not explain the problem. I am now at day seven and after countless phone calls to the dealership and Ford customer service line. No one can explain the issue or offer assistance because the vehicle is not under warranty! My questions. Why is the transmission shot after only 37,000 miles? If it is replaced, what reassurance do I have this problem will not reoccur in another 37,000 miles? Is there assistance for a drive train component replacement that is supposed to last 100,000 miles and likely defective? Why is this a warranty issue and not a quality issue? The staff at the Ford customer service center try to keep bouncing back to the dealership and refuse to put me in contact with the regional manager or supervision staff.
its getting worse
I've replaced the washer/wiper/turn signal assembly on the column and checked fuses and relays. The turn signals work, the wiper and washer do not. Any ideas?
I have had recent electrical done work under steering wheel in the where the electrical system is. For the anti theft device it kept my truck from starting randomly. It stopped but was never fixed just stopped however when it' did stop now the blinkers won't turn off automatically.
Could it be a fuel pressure problems
I don't know I just bought the truck
This happened before and I took off the negative battery cable for 10 minutes and reconnected. It worked just fine after that. This happened again, but when I did the battery deal again it didn't work. I already spent a ton of money getting work done on my truck and can't more. I am not car savvy, but I can google and youtube my way around. Any suggestions?
Is it in switch or transmission or rearend ???

Hot flashes: An 'enigma'
The marker of menopause still not fully understood
Your Health By Kim Painter
If menopause has a defining symptom, it's the one-woman heat wave: the hot flash.
But if women of a certain age poll their friends, they'll learn something researchers have now firmly documented: We are not all in this together. Hot flashes are common but not universal. And they are much worse for some women than for others.
It's "one of the great enigmas of women's health," says Wulf Utian, founder of the North American Menopause Society in Cleveland. "A third of women don't have any, a third have a problem but it's tolerable, and a third are miserable."
So for every woman who sweats through sleepless nights, ruins clothes and curses every steaming wave of facial heat, another gently fans herself and sips ice water, while yet another wonders what all the fuss is about. But which women are which? A decade ago doctors could offer little but hunches and opinions. Thin women were thought to suffer most. Asian women were thought practically immune. And women still overheating many years after their last periods were considered rare.
All of that now appears at least partly wrong. Much has been learned since 2002, when a large study raised concerns about long-term use of hormones used to treat hot flashes � and scientists got more interested in learning who needed help and what other approaches might work.
Among findings: Heavy women, not thin ones, seem to suffer most. In fact, overweight women who lost weight got significant relief from hot flashes in one recent study.
"For a long time, it was assumed that being overweight would actually be protective," says study author Alison Huang of the University of California-San Francisco. Body fat produces some estrogen, theoretically making up for supplies no longer coming from a woman's ovaries. Plummeting estrogen levels are thought to trigger hot flashes.
But now studies consistently show more hot flashes in heavy women, at least during perimenopause, the years leading up to the last period, says Rebecca Thurston, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh. "Body fat may act as a kind of blanket about your body," she says.
It is possible that extra weight helps some postmenopausal women and that doctors who once said thin women suffered more were describing older patients, not younger women in the throes of the menopausal transition, says Ellen Gold, a researcher at the University of California-Davis.
Thurston and Gold are among researchers following a large, diverse group through that transition in the federally funded Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN). The data show hot flashes become more common as women move from regular menstrual periods to few, then none. They eventually affect a majority in every racial and ethnic group. And many women still report hot flashes years after their periods end, Gold says.
Meanwhile, SWAN and other studies have linked hot flashes to several risk factors beyond weight:
•Race. African-American women report more hot flashes than white and Hispanic women, who report more than Asian women. Biology and culture could both play roles, researchers say.
•Anxiety. Women who are highly anxious before symptoms start have more trouble, Gold says.
•Smoking. Smokers also go through menopause earlier.
Not clear: the influence of diet, caffeine, alcohol and exercise. Subgroups of women may benefit from different interventions, Gold says: "Twenty years from now, we may know who they are."

I am evaluating Video Grabber Pro and have a couple of questions
I cannot download Vevo Videos using the normal methods But then when I select Advance Video Detector I get the message 'Navigation to the webpage was canceled'. My default browser is Firefox but this also happens if I use IE
Is it possible to use the editor to join 2 videos together and use the Effects feature to do a simple fade out / Fade in as the 1st ends and the 2nd starts It appears that the Evaluation version is restricted Is this correct
ThanksAugust 27, 2013 at 6:04 amReply
According to your feedback, I tested video grabber pro. It worked well for VEVO video download after pasting the url into advanced video detector. Perhaps you may upgrade it to the latest version. Regarding to the second question, video grabber pro features simple video editor. You can join two videos together by click Merge icon, the Effect function also allows to do simple fade out/fade in. To be clear, the Evaluation version will not restrict this.August 27, 2013 at 7:57 pmReply
Thanks for your reply I have managed to download Vevo OK now however when I downloaded the following link it came as a flv file When I tried to convert to a MP4 it made a real mess of it Perhaps you can try
Also do I have any choice on what format the download is in no matter which approach is used
It appears to me also that when editing a file that the various effects apply to the whole file only so I cannot see how I can do a simple fade out/ fade in as you suggest Please tell me what you understand by this and how you manage it
ThanksAugust 28, 2013 at 2:22 amReply
I have learnt your question about converting and edition, you can try again as the following steps.
Step 1: right click your downloaded video, select the option of Add to convert.
Step 2: click the Video Edit button, select the Effect
Step 3: select Enable Effect and you can do simple fade out/fade in, then click OK
Step 4: choose the mp4 format as your output file, click start and wait the file finished.
However, video grabber pro features simple video editor, if you want a rather professional editor software, I suggest one below: https://www.apowersoft.com/edit-videoMarch 26, 2014 at 11:22 pmReply
I've just completed downloading a video, and the file format is .FLV. Problem, when I convert it to .MP4 I'm only getting 1min. of a 11min. video. What am I doing wrong. I need the full 11mins.
Please help!!!
