Playing at multiple levels in biodiversity governance: The case of Hungarian ENGOs in Natura 2000
The Hungarian biodiversity governance setting changed with Hungary's accession to the EU: an additional supranational level brought new interaction opportunities for ENGOs. Based on the concept of multi-level governance, this paper analyses what kind of interactions Hungarian nature conservation NGOs have with state and non-state actors across different governance levels. The implementation of Natura 2000, as a flagship of EU nature conservation, was chosen to investigate the role of ENGOs in nature conservation policy making. The research reported here applied qualitative research techniques combining semi-structured expert interviews with document analysis. At the national level, Hungarian ENGOs cooperated effectively with each other and state nature conservation bodies. New channels for information flow and knowledge transfer were opened and have been actively used by Hungarian ENGOs via European umbrella organisations and through directly contacting EU institutions. Although ENGOs gained some links to the agricultural policy sector, a constructive cooperation with these actors could not be established. As the national ENGOs focused on international and national level interactions, they relatively neglected exchanges with local ENGOs. So when the authorities of the agricultural sector and local farmers became crucial for a successful implementation of Natura 2000, ENGOs had only few contacts to cooperate with.

The middle ground between logic and emotion is a particularly difficult one for me to spot.
This is what I wonder about.
You know, the way logic is espoused as supreme, is wonderful. Really. Particularly in a world that is so irrational. But I believe that living in that kind of world should give us an added look into how much emotion really rules us as humans. Particularly when we assume the logical conclusion shared by a whole bunch of people must be the same for everyone else.
How does one decide what is right or wrong, logically, without considering the fuel that keeps one alive. Computers are logical. Robots are logical. They are not social beings with fear of stigma, or creatures who feel pain and sorrow. The logic even, comes from a need to make a choice. One attempts to make a choice to engage balance, either in oneself or in relationships. The need for balance comes out of the need to feel a certain way. Would you be logical if it keeps you unhappy? Logical conclusions that do not give happiness are likely, not fully considered conclusions.
The question of how one deals with irrational beings arises. Most certainly, not by pushing logic into their faces. Or acting on ones own terms, seeing that as the most logical course of action. An irrational being has gone past reason. Any amount of logical consideration would be a waste. Lack of common ground I would think,would be a great reason to end certain interactions.
Logical answers do not seem the best ones always. Logical considerations given for emotional causes seem to cause the most disturbance.That one whole section of people can simply swat away the considerations of many others. "There's nothing wrong with all that" seems to do away with protest. Or, "It's not against the law" Or, "They have the right."
Yes, we all have rights. There are issues that are fundamental to human beings that cannot be given into emotional demands. There are human issues that transcend nationality, race and boundaries. One cannot approach them from a single angle. The sole angle of "rights" or "freedom" or "commerce". Especially when such values are not part of the belief system of others. They do not view these things as relevant. But believe they have the right to what they want. How does one's logical approach based on certain values help anyone here? But at the same time, the fact that there exists another thinking, feeling group of people who may have a different outlook cannot make the final answer absolutely right.
Hmm...tied myself up in knots there.
But it's exactly how I...well...feel.
You can tell me how you think/feel about it too~

Fluctuations in Equilibrium Unemployment
Fluctuations in the equilibrium rate of unemployment can only be understood within a theory of the natural or equilibrium rate. It is not enough to say that unemployment is the difference between supply and demand in the labor market, though of course it always will be. In equilibrium, no participants in the market can have an unexploited opportunity to make themselves better off. At the equilibrium unemployment rate, employers cannot obtain labor at lower cost by offering work at below the market wage to the unemployed. Unemployed workers cannot raise their effective real incomes by taking lower wages in exchange for immediate employment. The task of the theory is to explain why any unemployment remains at all when these conditions are satisfied. Part of this problem has been studied in detail in the "search theory" of unemployment -- once a worker becomes unemployed, it is reasonably well understood why the worker does not become employed again immediately. The theory of why people become unemployed in the first place is less well developed and is the main concern of this paper. Most of the unemployed are looking for new work because their previous jobs ran out. Consequently, the main ingredient of a theory of the flow of workers into unemployment is a theory of the duration of employment. Such a theory is developed here, along reasonably standard lines.

I spent my teenage years in the city then called Bombay, and several of them within walking distance of the increasingly imposing Shiv Sena Bhavan near Shivaji Park. When we arrived in Bombay in the early '70s, the Shiv Sena's Mumbai-for-Maharashtrians campaign was well on its way, and Congress chief minister V.P. Naik seemed either ineffectual or quite happy to go along with it.
The rage was principally focused on South Indians. The papers reported violent incidents almost every day. Shiv Sainiks would storm Churchgate station at rush hour, zero in on "South Indian-looking" individuals in the crowd waiting for their trains home, and ask them questions in Marathi. If they were unable to reply, they would be beaten up. Goons would burst into the offices of bank chairmen with recent recruitment lists and demand why so many of the people hired in clerical posts were South Indian. They would point out that the Mumbai mailing addresses given by dozens of such candidates were the same—a kholi in Matunga or Sion. "You let these Madrasis put one foot in Mumbai's door," a Maharashtrian classmate told me, "and their 65 cousins rush in." "Madrasis" was a catch-all phrase, and all the languages they spoke was "yundugundu".
Bengalis were below the radar, but the early '70s in Bombay were still quite an alarming time for an 11-year-old who had suddenly been transplanted in a state whose language he did not know at all. In 1974, Balasaheb passed a diktat that all signboards in the city had to be primarily in Marathi. A 45-day deadline was given. As recent migrants, we watched in awe as everyone, from multinational banks to the garment stores in Gujarati-majority Ghatkopar changed their signs. The only area of the city that remained defiant was the predominantly Muslim localities in central Bombay, where the signs remained in Urdu and English. The Sena could do nothing. It would be from this neighbourhood that Dawood Ibrahim would rise.
Yet, Maharashtra was also the state which recognized Bombay's cosmopolitan nature and offered something perhaps unique in India—an "exemption from Marathi" for schoolchildren who had come to Bombay too late to catch up with the Marathi curriculum. I was in Class VII and opted for this exemption. So for two years (till I had the choice of taking some other "third language"), I had one subject less to study, but was not given any rank in the exams. Thousands of children would surely have benefited from this benign system which truly recognized India's plurality. I have no idea if it still continues.
Bengalis abruptly lit up the Shiv Sena radar in 1975 or 1976 when some Shivaji Park cricketers (including a few who had played or were playing for India) complained to Bal Thackeray that the annual Durga Puja at the park disturbed their cricket practice. It was heard that Thackeray was concerned (Bombay, after all, was Indian cricket to a large extent in those days, and Shivaji Park was Bombay cricket) and was about to issue a fiat banning the celebrations. This would be a catastrophe (it was the biggest Puja in the city), and everyone knew that appealing to the state government would be pointless. The wiliest Bengali minds of Bombay met to find a solution.
They thought up a brilliant one, and its success is emblematic of a strand that ran through the late Balasaheb's career: a deep hunger for acceptance and recognition. By the '90s, as the man who could bring Mumbai to a standstill, he would want it from Michael Jackson, Enron's Rebecca Mark and Bollywood stars. In the mid-'70s, the invitation from the "intellectual" Bengali community to inaugurate its largest Durga Puja was enough to warm his cockles.
On the evening of Maha Shashthi, Thackeray arrived at the pandal flanked by two large glowering thugs, delivered a speech in Marathi (which I, "exempted from Marathi", didn't understand much of) and declared the festivities open. He was presented with a solid bronze Ganapati figure (Enron's Mark would gift him Disney animation film CDs). This he quickly handed over to his guards, since it clearly weighed at least 20 kg. The Durga Puja (which actually occupied only about one-twentieth of the park and would not have impeded the diligent cricketers at all) had received the great man's blessings, and nothing more was ever heard about it.
Now, the Shiv Sena has demanded that a memorial to Balasaheb be set up at the spot in Shivaji Park where he was given a state cremation. It was this that brought back my memories. Because that memorial, which will surely be built, would truly, seriously hinder Mumbai cricket, which needs more encouragement today than ever before.

Maricel E. Presilla has a doctorate in medieval history. She is the author of a book on the history of chocolate and another on Christmas feasts in Hispanic Caribbean countries. She is a 2012 James Beard Award-winning chef and owns two restaurants in New Jersey.
Now, with the publication of "Gran Cocina Latina -- The Food of Latin America" (W.W. Norton & Company, $45), she can add culinary tour guide to her many accomplishments.
The Cuban-born author offers a massive collection of authentic recipes gleaned from cooks in the Caribbean Islands, Central America, Mexico and South America, plus her own interpretations of traditional dishes.
Thanks to her interest in history, Presilla goes deeper than just a recipe and the name of the country where found. She offers insights on how culture, economics, politics and even superstitions have influenced Latin cooks.
There are pointers on regional cooking equipment; the flavor layers of Latin American cooking (the uses of adobo and sofrito); pepper varieties; loaf sugars; ingredients unfamiliar to most non-Latin cooks including the Andean root vegetable oca; and an entire chapter on tamales and their wrappings.
The subject matter is fascinating reading, especially the chapters on breads (corn flatbreads such as arepas); "cebiches" (adding acidic ingredients to seafood); drinks (like Yerba mate); and poultry ("Roast Turkey in Andean Pepper and Pisco Adobo with Roast Plantains and Sweet Potatoes" for Thanksgiving dinner).
This is an eye-opening, off-the-beaten-path cookbook for adventurous home cooks, cookbook readers and as a one-volume reference.
AREPITAS DE QUESO SAZONADAS (SPICY BAKED CORN AND CHEESE PATTIES)Maricel E. Presilla has taken the corn-flour griddle cakes arepas, found in Colombia and Venezuela, and made them into an appetizer. The recipe calls for precooked white corn flour - harina de maiz blanco precocida. She recommends the Venezuelan brand P.A.N.
1 cup precooked white corn flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon grated brown loaf sugar (preferably pepelon, panela or piloncillo) or Demerara sugar
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon light olive oil
8 ounces queso blanco (white cheese) (about 2 cups)
15-20 (about 4 ounces) small Caribbean sweet peppers (ajies dulces) or 2 cubanelle peppers, seeded and finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 small red bell pepper (about 5 ounces), cored, seeded, deveined and finely chopped (about 1 cup)
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly butter a baking sheet.
Mix the corn flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Pour in the warm water and olive oil and mix with a fork until blended. Kneading with your hands, gradually add the cheese and the rest of the ingredients until you have a smooth dough.
Roll 1 tablespoon of dough (about 1 ounce) into a ball between your palms, then flatten the ball between your hands into a circle 2 inches in diameter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Bake for 10 minutes. Turn the arepitas over and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden. Serve hot.
Makes 24 arepitas.

After consultations in the New England I have decided that I am going to travel to Miami and have my BA done by Dr. Hochstein. There are many reasons why I chose Dr. Hochstein, the main reason being that his before and after pictures consistently show beautiful and natural looking results. Many of the surgeons I saw in New England (mainly in Rhode Island and Mass) had only a couple of before and afters that I liked and I feel I am taking more of a shot in the dark with a surgeon that has more of a limited patient base. I am confident that Dr. Hochstein, with his experience, can produce my desired look.
I will also be posting videos when my date gets closer and, of course, after my surgery!

It's time to show off your acting skills! We learned how you practice healthy eating with the Fuel Up to Play 60 Cooking Show Challenge, but now we want to know how you get active! The Fuel Up to Play 60 Physical Activity Skit Challenge is a great way to demonstrate your acting skills and get active. Find a Physical Activity Play in the Fuel Up to Play 60 Playbook and get together with your school or some friends and show us how you started a walking club, activity zones or any physical activity play in the Playbook. Submit your Physical Activity Skit from February 2, 2012 through March 26, 2012, this is a great way to get active and have fun with Fuel Up to Play 60!
Take a look at some Fuel Up to Play 60 plays you can use to help you complete the challenge:
Stop and Go Signs– Place "point-of-decision" prompts around the school that encourage everyone to get active. These signs or posters remind students (and adults) to take advantage of every opportunity to be active. Encourage students to increase their physical activity!
Get into Intramurals– Organize intramural sports games either at school or in your local parks. Encourage families to participate.
Cultural Dance Club– Start an after-school dance club to teach different dances representative of your school community's cultures—or new ones. Help students and teachers learn about the varied dances of the world while they're also getting in some great physical activity!
Lunch Break– Get students active during lunch by having everyone get up and take a short 3- 5 minute activity break each day. Add some fun by making contests out of the activities. Encourage your whole student body to track these physical activities to see their own progress!
Health is essential for students to thrive; physical activity is a major component of Health. Getting the recommended amount of physical activity (at least 60 minutes daily for kids and teens) — can help students feel their best right now and stay healthier in the long run. Not only will it help students stay healthy but, studies from the California Department of Education show that there is a positive relationship between physical fitness and academic achievement in California. Take this opportunity to encourage students and staff to participate in the Fuel Up to Play 60 movement.

A. Test, test, test. The only real long-term way to deal with the possible quirks between browsers is to vigorously and thoroughly test any site you're responsible for in all the major browsers, side-by-side, and see what happens. Work with your own sites across the major browsers -- don't just passively browse, but try to actually get things done and see what happens.
On Windows, it's not difficult at all to get IE 7, Firefox, and Opera all running side-by-side without stepping on each other's toes; Firefox is even available in a portable edition for those who want to run it without installing it. (Opera comes in a portable version, too.)
If you're not currently running Windows but are forced to test compatibility with IE anyway, there are a couple of solutions. A fairly elaborate series of hacks exist to run IE on top of Linux through the WINE compatibility layer, although it only works for IE 6 and lower. Another solution involves the use of a virtual-computing product like VMware or VirtualBox to run Windows itself. Interestingly enough, Microsoft provides a virtual hard-disk file that contains a fully licensed (albeit time-limited) installation of Windows XP SP2 with either IE 6 or IE 7 available on it -- useful if you don't have, say, an MSDN subscription.
Also be sure to validate any code you create, since browsers have different ways of recovering from a broken piece of HTML, and you don't want to be at the mercy of such mechanisms. While debugging an older site, I tried to figure out why a given page wouldn't load at all in Firefox, while IE rendered it spotlessly. A quick pass with an HTML validator showed the problem: a table was missing its closing < /table > tag. When I supplied the missing tag, all was well again. Apparently, IE is a bit more forgiving about tables that have missing tags, at least when dealing with the quirks-mode formatting of most existing Web pages.
B. Pick a standard and stick with it. IE may have a big installed base, but coding for IE first is not something you should do unless you have been ordered to do so. My own habit has been to use Firefox as the baseline for everything -- since more browsers tend to render like Firefox than they do IE -- and then make any IE- or other browser-specific fixes after that. If you're in the process of re-centering everything on Mozilla standards, IBM has a long and detailed document in their developerWorks library about how to transition Web docs from IE to Mozilla, including a number of general cross-browser tips.
C. Annotate and warn. If you have implemented things you want to support but simply cannot get them to work properly across the board, at least make sure the people accessing your site know about it or can look it up somewhere. If you know certain functions won't work in IE, you can use a browser-detection routine (see below) to insert a notice to the effect that some features may be degraded in certain browsers. Better to tell them up front than to let them find out on their own!
D. Pick a browser and make everyone else stick with it, too. This isn't likely to make you popular with many people, but if you have specific reasons for working on one and only one browser, it is possible to enforce this rule. Just be prepared to get plenty of hate mail, as few people like being bullied into using any specific browser.
E. Keep an eye on the future. Web "standards," and especially their implementations, aren't static things. Even a small change to the right of the decimal point can affect the way things render or behave. Stay abreast of those changes whenever you can, so that you can counter them proactively instead of reactively.

It's actually been quite lovely to be back in Islamabad. I fretted through packing suitcases and grumbled (inwardly) during the flight. I quaked when I saw the amount of vacuuming and tidying that I had to do once I hit Pakistan and still miss my family in Singapore, but now that I am all settled in, I am quite alright really.
There, I've said it. I am fine with being back.
Yes, we've had mountains of laundry from the trip and still more from the layers of warm clothes we go through each day… and yes, we've had runny noses and chilled toes, but seriously, we are blessed in ways we can't enumerate, so we've more or less gone through our issues with winter with smiles.
Our shambolic living area was given a makeover in our absence. The Dad Man, Dadi and Anees pulled out all the stops and gave us a special kind of homecoming, ma shaa Allah. Marz and Bear have their room back, so they are happy campers. We miss the obstacle course of books and desks… Bibliomaniacs that we are, we'll always crave the feeling of being surrounded by books. However, it was high time to admit that the Lightbulb Lab was taking over our place (like literally!). Alhamdulillah, the Dad Man had room in the office space he's renting, so the books have a new home. We still have a large book case in our hallway and we visit the Lightbulb Lab often, so we still have books — just enough so our compulsion for a tome is satisfied, but just not that many that we feel like we can't breathe! The glass room is still a work in progress, but the leaks have been plugged up and is decent enough that I no longer call it names or pretend it isn't there ;) There is potential for craftiness there, in shaa Allah!
Is that hope and cheer you're hearing from me? You bet!
We've been cramming lots homeschool-wise. We've HAD to after our last trip and in view of upcoming trips (in shaa Allah). I've gone back to 'school' too and am taking a few courses. It has been a humbling experience — I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so it has been a struggle. I've realised that it is all good though. I've been reminded of how little I know and how much harder I need to work. I've also been reminded of how tough it must be for my children and how I should be kinder to them.
I have a few resources to share, but Peep has been up to his shenanigans again. Last night, it was this:
I wish you happy sunshiney days!

Single mom Heather Donovan's dreams of home and family are tantalizingly within reach when she settles in Chesapeake Shores. The welcoming arms of the boisterous, loving O'Brien clan embrace her and her son. But accepting their support seems to further alienate her son's father, Connor O'Brien. His parents' divorce and his career as a high-powered divorce attorney have left him jaded about marriage. Then everything changes. Will the possibility of a future without Heather make Connor look at love and his career differently?
Heather's just about given up on her old dreams - of love, of family, and especially of Driftwood Cottage, the home she secretly wishes was hers. It's going to take a lot of persuasion - and some help from the O'Brien family - to make Heather believe that some dreams are worth fighting for.
Spend some more time in Chesapeake Shores.

"Driftwood Cottage"
OMG Heather was such an annoying person, she drove me mad, Connor should have just said ok and walked away, just truely pathetic and not worth the read, such a disappointment.
"ok book"
this book was not as enjoyable as the other books in the series. liked it.
"Wonderful story"
I just really love her books. They are really try to life situations and just so delightful to vision to.
"Not Woods Best Work"
I began reading this series of books in anticipation of Hallmarks presentation. I enjoy the Hallmark version but the books not so much. I feel like I just read the same chapter 20 times. I do however love the family and want to get to know them as Woods first intended. Hopefully the next book will be better.
Sorry Sheryl.......Never penned.
The two main characters Heather and Connor seem to be emotionally age five, not mid to late twenties. I wanted to just lock them in a room and forget them. the book was full of the same scene played over and over and over however many, many places and times throughout the story and by both characters. Sheryl flogged that horse to death. I listen for pleasure and this book only made me disdainful.
Baby, bath water.

They had no idea about our bookings.com booking and were quite confused by it. They were very accomodating. The Hotel is a budget Hotel so we didnt expect much. The breakfast is good and the staff helpful. It is about 30 mins from airport (30 reais in Taxi). It was very noisy at night but overall it was a good value choice. The noise at night! (The old fashioned lift constantly going up and down)
Perfect location, near subway station. Simple facilities, very good cost/benefit ratio. Nice and friendly staff. Bathroom facilities could be improved.
The staff are very friendly Would really hope they can lower the price
I liked the fact that the staff where attentive and also considering the price of hotels in Rio this place came in pretty good value. This Hotel is a little tired as its 80 years old and only has one lift - so you may find your self waiting for the lift quite frequently. However if you like art deco style buildings like I do its a nice place to stay.

Apolipoprotein Polymorphisms and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease

|Cardiovascular Diseases Heart Diseases Coronary Arteriosclerosis Coronary Disease
|Study Type:
|Study Start Date:
|April 1988
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 1991
Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that the risk of coronary heart disease is strongly influenced by plasma lipid levels, especially HDL and LDL cholesterol, and their specific apolipoprotein constituents. Genetic studies have established significant heritability of these lipid components, and have also identified relatively rare major genes that result in extreme lipid values and increased risk of coronary heart disease. Geneticists have identified a number of segregating polymorphisms at the four major apolipoprotein genomic regions, using a combination of protein and DNA assays. However, in 1988 when the study was initiated, the relationship between these polymorphisms and risk of coronary heart disease had not yet been properly defined.
The study had a case-control design. Cases were consecutively selected from the pool of eligible Latter Day Saints Hospital patients referred for coronary angiogram. Eligibility criteria included residing in the Wasatch County or Southern Idaho counties, being healthy at the time of angiogram and having greater than 60 percent occlusion. Approximately 80-100 controls were retrospectively selected from the clinic records of the past four years. Fasting lipid profiles were defined for cases and controls in terms of total cholesterol, total triglycerides, HDL levels, LDL levels, VLDL levels, density gradient distribution of HDL-LDL subfractions, and levels of apo A-1, apo B, and apo E. The distribution of genetic polymorphisms at the four major apolipoprotein genomic regions was determined by typing all cases and controls for isoforms of apo E and apo AIV and a wide variety of DNA polymorphisms. Approximately 800 first degree relatives of cases and controls were also typed for DNA polymorphisms. Data were collected on risk factors including smoking, alcohol use, obesity, physical activity, and diet. Clinical data included medical and family history of cardiovascular disease and medication status. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to define the relative risk of coronary disease associated with segregating polymorphisms, and DNA haplotypes at these loci in conjunction with lipid profiles and risk factors. Analyses were also conducted on the extent to which the genetic segregation at these apolipoprotein genomic regions influenced the distribution of lipid profiles and whether the distribution of risk factors was influenced by the interaction of environmental risk factors such as smoking and genotypes at these regions.

The sentencing of the former Hey Dad! star Robert Hughes to at least six years' jail on Friday was a moment of relief and jubilation for the survivors of his abuse who had gathered in the Downing Centre District Court.
The judge's ruling provided, if not closure, then at least the end of a significant chapter in a saga that has spanned about 30 years.
But for one person, the sentencing must have elicited a somewhat different emotion.
For while the jury found Hughes guilty of 10 child sex offences last month, they were unable to reach a verdict in relation to an 11th charge.
This charge relates to a woman who says she was sexually abused by Hughes in 1988, while she was on work experience at the business of his partner, Robyn Gardiner.
Giving evidence during Hughes' six-week trial, the woman, now in her early 40s, said Hughes became interested in her while she was working at the actor's agency in Surry Hills and, on one occasion, kissed her on the mouth after dropping her home.
The actor allegedly continued to pursue the teenager, telling her: ''We have taken this as far as we can go. You need to find a place to have sex because I'm far too old to have sex in a bush.''
She alleges she told him: ''I'm 15. I'm still under the age of consent.''
Months later, on her 16th birthday, the woman said she received a dozen red roses with a card signed ''RH''.
Hughes denied the allegations, giving sworn testimony that he had dropped the teenager home from work experience and had once taken her to the Opera House, but nothing more. The jury was unable to decide on whether the abuse had occurred, or not.
It meant she was unable to provide a victim impact statement with the four other women involved in Hughes' trial.
She has spoken publicly for the first time, writing an open letter to Hughes to express how she feels about what she says happened, and revealing her experience of a saga conducted in the glare of publicity.

Failure at bleeding fuel lines - any ideas?
Greetings Case IH owners,
I have a 2004 JX65, which I ran out of fuel driving slightly uphill.
Can you help me troubleshoot about why I can't get my lines bled?
I've followed the bleed procedure in the owners manual, cracking the bleed screw on the fuel filter, and pumping the heck out of the fuel pump actuator until my fingers are blistered.
Looking at the transparent fuel line leading into the fuel pump, it seems that I'm sucking never ending air w/fuel as I pump the lever on the fuel pump like a madman. Also -- manually pumping the pump seems to be highly inefective at moving that air through the pump to the filter-- for every air bubble that moves an inch down the line in the right direction on the upstroke, the pump seems to spit almost that much air back in the wrong direction on the downstroke. Is this normal?
Would filling the tank full help? There is about 14 gallons in there now.
Anyone tried compressed air in the fuel tank to help move the air along? I've used that trick on my dodge cummins pickup and it worked well.
Any other ideas? the tractor (w/600 hours) has run beautifully until today-- I'd be surprised if intake lines were sucking air. This seems to be another issue, but i might be wrong...
Thanks for any response!
Re: Failure at bleeding fuel lines - any ideas?
The hand primer pump doubles as a camshaft driven transfer pump. If the cam shaft lobe is holding the pump's internal lever up, you can pump the hand primer handle until Doomday and not move a drop of fuel. Bump the starter to rotate the engine a half a turn or so and try it again. You might get a completely different feel at the primer pump, and actually move some fuel.Spring is the season of optimism.

Re: Failure at bleeding fuel lines - any ideas?
Thanks Rick--
I discovered this in my initial try with the pump- depending on that cam position you can get different amounts of fuel you can pump by hand-- from none to a normal amount.
The strange thing is here, even with a full pump stroke on the primer pump, I don't seem to be pumping enough volume to eradicate air. It's almost like there is a restriction that doesn't let the fuel and entrapped air through in the right direction. I might as well change the fuel filter and eliminate that possibility...
Re: Failure at bleeding fuel lines - any ideas?
Take the banjo bolt off the inlet side of the transfer pump and make sure the tube nipple isn't full of debris. Also check the screen in the transfer pump by removing the top plate.Spring is the season of optimism.

Re: Failure at bleeding fuel lines - any ideas?
Did you actually run out of fuel ? You may instead have a bit of debris under the check valve in the fuel supply pump which would also shut down the engine as well as make bleeding impossible . The fuel will just move back and forth in the lines if the check valve is off it's seat .

Welcome back to Deke's Techniques. This week learn how to transform the Dunguaire Castle image from last week's technique into a weathered black-and-white print with Adobe Photoshop and Camera Raw. We'll balance the luminance levels to create the sepia tone, and we'll add some film grain and vignetting. Let's see how it works.
To get started, follow along with Deke in this week's free video and use the companion text below to help with each step.
In Camera Raw 7, it's located here inside the Color panel, and it's called Remove Chromatic Aberration.
If you like, you can reduce the Opacity of the Smart Filter layer to take a bit of an edge off the sharpening.
And that's how you take a full-color digital photograph and render it out as a kind of antique film photo using a combination of Camera Raw and Photoshop.
Members of lynda.com can check out the next movie in the series, Adding a weathered old-photo frame effect, and learn how to add a frame to your image. Plus, next week Deke shows you how to draw your own "grumpy bird" in Illustrator. Keep watching for more great techniques.

Tameka Foster Compliments a Shirtless Usher on Instagram [Photo]
Tameka Foster may question Usher's parenting skills, but there's no denying his good looks. The Atlanta native and mother of four raised a few eyebrows after uploading a picture of her "baby favaaaava" from his Men's Health spread.
"LOL we're divorced but I'm not blind," said the stylist.
We can't help but wonder why the rumored reality star would compliment her ex-hubby in one breath and take him to court in another.
One thing's for sure: Usher looks best without a shirt on.

More Zelda characters and goldeneye and perfect dark characters would be welcomed
You just destroyed me
Some more rumored info from a namco bandai games insider
The Anniversary of Brawl's release in Japan will have a special Nintendo Direct focused on Smash 4. (Jan. 31)
Little Mac and Takamaru were two of the first characters chosen for Smash 4, both being classic characters that have since experienced a revival via Punch Out Wii/Nintendo Land and are fan favorites. They also represent West vs. East, which Sakurai is aiming for after the previous series strayed too much towards Eastern characters like Fire Emblem and Mother.
King K. Rool and Ridley are also two characters that are being given priority as they too have a lot of requests. King K. Rool's design is said to have a new design that Retro contributed to (perhaps a new Donkey Kong Country is on the horizon?), and Ridley will apparently have a style of game-play that involves the evolution seen in Other M.
Shulk, Dillon, and Ghirahim are currently set to be included, but they haven't been finalized like the four above.
Platinum Games is interested in including a character, yet nothing has been finalized yet. Will probably be from Wonderful 101, but nothing is decided upon.
Starship Mario, Giant Chasm (Pokemon BW2), Pushmo Park, and Cookie Country (Kirby) are levels that have been worked on.
There's a second Yoshi representative who has yet to be introduced and will apparently be appearing in a new game coming out soon that Nintendo asked to be included.
The rumored Yoshi Land Wii U? It's apparently Yoshi's new partner another dinosaur character. The name "Debu" has been thrown around, but I'm not sure if that's it's name or a nickname since that just means "fat" in Japanese.
My body is ready!! I'm starting to get excited! Lol
Yeah man seems to be there going all out. Seriously can't wait for SSB4. :)
I was hoping they would I was starting to feel like they would just go "safe" on it like they did with nsmbu...looking like they are taking the right approach with this
Well I am looking into more info on this and hoping all will come together and be amazing....
I haven't played a Super Smash Bros. game since Melee. It'll be interesting to see what new characters they add.
Likewise mate....
But then again it could just be smashed together for the sake of a new console
How many characters you'll think they'll be in the final roster? I'm thinking maybe 50. They always seem to add some more characters each game.
Got to be 50 or more for this game!
50 would be an honest answer to that question
Of that 50, how many will be new and how many will be dropped

Brown's Ferry Four Biography
The original group was founded at WLW Cincinnati in June 1943, and went on to achieve legendary status as one of the finest quartets to have recorded country gospel music. The founding members, all active performers and following other careers as well as singing with the group, were Grandpa Jones, Merle Travis and the Delmore Brothers (Alton and Rabon). They took their name from the Delmores hit song of the time, Browns Ferry Blues. They commenced a regular half-hour daily spot, with Alton singing lead, Rabon tenor, Jones baritone and Travis bass, and their fine harmonies quickly established them with the stations listeners. Unfortunately, military service for Travis, Jones and Alton Delmore saw the break-up of the original four. The station kept the name and the programme, entering the early 50s with other singers. In March 1946, the four original members had resumed their careers but with Travis in California, the Delmores in Memphis and Jones in Nashville, they never resumed their WLW appearances. However, when all were in California for recordings, Sydney Nathan of King Records decided to record some of the gospel numbers that they had popularized, the first two being Will The Circle Be Unbroken and Just A Little Talk With Jesus. The recordings proved popular and the following year, Nathan flew all four to Hollywood for further recordings. A change in line-up was enforced when Travis became a Capitol recording artist and Red Foley replaced him on 1947 recordings, which produced their noted Ill See You In The Morning. In 1948, the national ban on all recordings saw the Delmores incorporate a version of the group within their stage act, with Wayne Raney and Lonnie Glosson replacing Jones and Foley. In the early 50s, Red Turner and Clyde Moody also sang with the Delmores. In 1956, Alton Delmore organized a group to record for Acme. In 1965, Grandpa Jones recordedGrandpa Jones Remembers The Browns Ferry Four for Monument, which featured himself, Merle Travis, Red Rector and Ramona Jones. In the early 80s, Jones with Roy Clark, Buck Owens and Kenny Price recreated the sound of the original group, recording an album as the Hee Haw Gospel Quartet, for the label owned by the popular Hee Haw television programme, on which they also appeared. The original fours recordings enjoyed several reissues, going from 78s to 45s, a series of three EPs in 1957 and eventually to albums with reissues on Starday and Pine Mountain.

8 Feb - 23 Feb
7 - 21 March
Tour Itinerary:
North Island
Day 1: Meet and briefing in Auckland 'City of Sails'. Travel south east out of the city to Waihi Hike between towering hills and alongside the Ohinemuri River in the Karangahake Gorge. Catch the historic Goldfield steam train into Waihi from Waikino. Then further east on to Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty.
Day 2: White Island Marine Volcano expedition – This trip out to an active volcano is one of the most exciting natural experiences in NZ. The surroundings are surreal and the scenery spectacular - like walking on a moonscape. Travel on to Rotoiti to a Maori homestay. Evening traditional welcome on to a small, local Maori Marae with hangi food and concert.
Day 3: Orakei Korako – the Hidden Valley geo-thermal reserve, walking around bubbling pools, gushing geysers, steaming vents, mudpools and some of the largest silica terraces in the world. Heading further South we'll stop at the Huka Falls, a series of turquoise rapids at the beginning of the Waikato River (biggest in NZ). Walk into Taupo from the Falls. Travel on to stay in Turangi.
Day 4: Two beautiful half day walks around Turangi. The first along the Tongariro River, deemed to be one of the best fly fishing rivers in the world. For a switch of scenery, we will move into a lovely area of native forest and circumnavigate Lake Rotopounamu. Then off to Tokaanu Pools for a hot soak in natural mineral waters.
Day 5: Traveling down to the capital of New Zealand, Wellington - perched on the edge of a spectacular harbour, encircled by green towering hills. It combines the stimulation and sophistication of a big city with the quirkiness of a charming village. Visit to Te Papa, the National Museum of New. We stay at the Mermaid Guesthouse in a historical part of Wellington.
South Island
Day 6: Morning ferry over to the South Island across Cook Strait. Explore picturesque port, Picton, then we'll take a Water Taxi to the Portage Resort Hotel in a remote part of the Queen Charlotte Sound.
Day 7: Guided sea-kayak around the Kenepuru Sound for the entire day. Visit a mussel farm, paddling past an old shipwreck, likely seeing dolphins along the way. Stop on a tranquil beach for a leisurely lunch, go for a swim or a short bush walk before paddling back to Portage Bay foreshore. Relaxing evening at the Hotel.
Day 8: Mountain-biking on the Queen Charlotte Track from the Portage Resort Hotel to Anakiwa before catching the Water Taxi back to Picton. All the equipment provided and with knowledgeable guides. The track is renowned for its stunning scenery and a track purpose-built for bikers.
Day 9: Travel down the West Coast via Murchison, arriving in the afternoon at Punakaiki. We'll walk to the Pancake Rocks - columns of limestone etched by sea, wind and rain to create formations resembling stacks of pancakes. At high tide with a heavy swell running, seawater is forced upwards through blowholes creating thunderous plumes of seawater. Stay at Punakaiki with an evening's beach walk to, hopefully, spot a penguin or two. The Blue Penguins always return to shore to sleep in amongst the stones and caves of the shoreline before heading back out to sea at first light.
Day 10: Heading further south, we'll stop at Hokitika to visit the pounamu/greenstone before driving on down to Franz Josef for a guided glacier hike – an incredible experience, amidst the world's most spectacular and challenging glacier environments. From high in New Zealand's Southern Alps, the Franz Josef Glacier descends and in a matter of kilometres ends up deep in the lush rainforest of Westland's National Park.
Day 11: Head off towards Queenstown through part of the World Heritage Mount Aspiring Park via the Haast Pass - the lowest elevation through the Southern Alps. Take in waterfalls, native bush tracks and views of Lakes Hawea and Wanaka. Both lakes are glacier-formed - long and skinny but with beautiful, clear waters. Afternoon exploring or resting in Queenstown.
Day 12: Whitewater rafting trip on the Shotover River which gained prominence in the 1860's as one of the world's most lucrative gold bearing rivers. Float past some breathtaking scenery and thrilling rapids before the final Oxenbridge Tunnel. After hot showers and food we'll head back to Queenstown.
Day 13: Cruise on the TSS Earnslaw steam ship across beautiful Lake Wakatipu. On the other side of the Lake we will mount horses for a ride across rivers, along valleys and through tranquil beech forests, crossing the Rees and Dart Rivers at the Head of the Lake. Cruise back to Queenstown.
Day 14: Head up north to Mt Cook/Aoraki – NZ's highest mountain, towering above other massive snow-clad peaks that make up the Mount Cook National Park. Afternoon/early evening hike with our local ranger/ecologist giving us an interactive interpretation about the ever-changing environment - off-the-beaten-track on locals' trails. Bubbles and a gourmet picnic dinner before returning to the Alpine Lodge for our last night together.
Day 15: Finally, we travel through to 'The Garden City', Christchurch stopping off for morning-tea at Lake Tekapo. Then onwards for lunch and then farewells and departure from Christchurch in the afternoon.

Parkinson's Disease
Aunt with Parkinson's
Dear Dr. - My aunt (aged 58) has suffered from "tremors" for a while and has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. We can't remember anyone else in the family with this disease. Could you tell me if it is hereditary? We would also like to know what to expect (i.e. How Parkinson's progresses) Are there any new drugs or treatments of which we should be aware?
Thank you in advance for this information, it will help a lot for us to know more about this condition when she goes back to her doctor next week.
While tremors are one of the most common symptoms of Parkinson's disease, not everyone with tremor has this disease. In fact the most common cause of tremors is essential tremor. While there are families in whom Parkinson's disease runs, it is more often seen without a definite family history. It is a slowly progressive disorder, the natural history of which has been changed dramatically by treatment with levodopa (Sinemet), since 1967. In the last year there have been 3 new medications: Mirapex, Requip and Tasmar approved by the FDA. A new surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation has also been approved for treatment of essential tremor or tremor due to Parkinson's disease.

At WSS Westminster Speed and Sound, the F150 sound system upgrade is a standard project. We have many clients who own F150's. They come to our facility and immediately tell us "I absolutely hate the sound of my stereo." Hate is a strong word… But we can understand why, after hearing the atrocious sound quality of the Ford factory installed speakers. Even purchasing the factory "upgraded" Sony stereo system does not get you very far.
Crofton Client Brings Us a Raptor
We recently had a client bring us a 2013 F150 from Crofton, MD. This F150 was special… It was a Raptor! To say we were excited to work on this truck is an enormous understatement. The Ford F150 Raptor is quite possibly the coolest truck to ever drive off the assembly line. Rated at 411 horsepower and 434 lb-ft of torque, the big bore 6.2L V8 motor is just one aspect that we love. It also has 11.2" front and 12.1" rear suspension travel, along with the rest of the suspension built to handle the most unforgiving terrain a truck can set its tires on. Ford also added features to the Raptor like hill descent control, rugged skid plate protection, and an off-road-ready exterior package. They also added some extra strength components, such as unique cast aluminum control arms. Needless to say, the Ford Raptor is a monster.
Just like the rest of the Ford F150's out there, the sound system in this Raptor is pretty poor. Since it had the Sony package it had more output than the base model Ford stereo, but it still could not perform on a level that would be acceptable in this cool of a truck. We did a nice stereo in a Platinum F150 not too long ago that also had the Sony package. We already knew the sky was the limit with the stereo in this truck, even leaving the original radio in the dash. The existing unit had everything the client wanted already, so rather than waste money on replacing it we used his budget in areas that would be more beneficial and give him the highest return on his investment. Integrating a complete stereo to an existing factory radio is becoming more and more prevalent now.
Interfacing With The F150 Factory Radio
In order to effectively install our components using the factory radio we used an Audio Control LCQ1. This integration device gives a full 6 channels of high quality signal to run amplifiers. It also incorporates an equalizer so we were able to fine tune the stereo with exceptional precision. To top it off, the LCQ1 also has Audio Control's patent pending AccuBass technology built into it. The AccuBass is designed to restore bass at higher volumes that is lost due to the equalization curves in the factory radio and/or amplifiers. This issue is called "bass roll-off." As you turn the volume up on many OEM head units, the bass is cut back to protect the low quality factory speakers at higher output levels. We don't ever want that to happen! The Audio Control piece fixed this issue seamlessly, and gave us a phenomenal output signal to work with.
JL Audio Supplies The Power
Now that we had a clean and powerful signal, we chose the JL Audio HD amplifiers for this Raptor. Specifically, the HD600.4 and HD750.1. The HD amplifiers are designed to produce maximum output using minimal space. These amps are also stack-able, so we were able to custom fabricate an amp rack holding both amplifiers under the passenger side rear seat. We carpeted the cover for the amps so that it looked like a factory option. Along with the amps, we also installed a bass knob next to the steering column in a convenient location.
German Maestro To The Rescue
The next step in this Raptor project was to select the parts that these HD amplifiers would be energizing. We gave the client a full demonstration of many speakers and carefully selected the best match for his taste in music as well as his budget. The speakers we chose were German Maestro Epic components for the front, and German Maestro Concept coax's for the rear locations. The combination of the Epics and Concepts in this vehicle produced a dynamic and powerful sound. Being powered by an HD amp, the speakers will now keep up in output for when the Raptor is sailing across rugged terrain with the windows down! The only thing missing was the bass!
Stealthbox Lives Up To It's Name
We wanted to add bass to the stereo of this Raptor, but we knew we couldn't sacrifice a lot of storage space. We also knew whatever enclosure we installed needed to be bolted to the vehicle and essentially bullet proof since this vehicle would be driven hard on many types of terrain. The solution was not hard to find. JL Audio manufactures a Stealthbox specifically designed for the acoustic environment of the F150 cabin. This enclosure holds a 13TW5 subwoofer under the driver's side rear seat. The 13TW5 is the result of years of research and development in revolutionary thin-woofer technology. The subwoofer is 13.5" in diameter and only a minute 2.5" deep. In the past, a subwoofer of that size physically could not reproduce any real bass. That fact has been proven wrong by the 13TW5. The downward-firing enclosure in this Ford F150 Raptor produced the kind of bass you would not believe, after seeing the Stealthbox and knowing it was only one subwoofer! It filled the truck with the perfect amount of bass to compliment the sound of the stereo. As with most any subwoofer, it also restored the lost lower octaves of music that could not be reproduced by just the speakers alone.
Hushmat Removes The Rattles, Breaks The Waves
To make sure we were able to deliver the full potential of this sound system upgrade to the clients ears, we had one more thing to do. We also installed Hushmat damping materials in all four doors, along with their new product called Wave Breaker. Hushmat Ultra Damping helps to reduce any annoying resonations and vibrations in the doors that would take away from the integrity of this high quality stereo we were creating. Wave Breaker is a new micro-cellular technology also made by Hushmat. It is installed behind the speaker inside the door. Since the speaker is moving in and out constantly it produces waves of sound that exit the rear of the speaker and bounce around inside the door, also hitting the back of the speaker. This negatively "colors" the sound produced by the speaker and interferes with its performance potential. The Wave Breaker absorbs and diffuses the back waves of the speakers, eliminating this issue.
End Result……. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
To unknowing eyes, we had never even touched this Ford F150 Raptor! We, and this particular client, were very pleased with how well the stereo performed with the factory radio still in the dash and very little equipment visible inside the truck. The team here at WSS was excited to work on this truck and even MORE excited to deliver the finished product to its owner. When it comes to Ford F150's, we love that the factory stereo is poor and low quality in such a nice truck… Because we love working on them! If you have an F150 of ANY trim level it would be our pleasure to give you a full demonstration of exactly how your stereo could perform. We will take the time to show you in person what your stereo is missing. Send us an email, give us a call, or stop by our top notch facility at your convenience!
For more information, give us a call at 410-857-5300, EMAIL US, or just stop in and allow us to show you around!

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points and the Dallas Mavericks rallied from 14 points down in the second quarter to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 101-96 on Thursday night.
Dallas won its second in a row – improving to 15-0 all-time against the Bobcats – although the victories have come against lottery-bound Washington and Charlotte.
Jason Terry added 18 points for the Mavs, who had lost eight of their previous 11.
Corey Maggette scored 21 points to lead the league-worst Bobcats (6-36).
After trailing most of the first half, Dallas took control with a third-quarter surge fueled by consecutive 3-pointers from Nowitzki.
Charlotte was behind by 17 in the final quarter before pulling to 99-96 on D.J. Augustin's layup with 19 seconds left. But Nowitzki converted two free throws on his team's next possession to clinch the victory.
In New Orleans, John Wall had 26 points and 12 assists, and Washington won hours after making a multiplayer deal at the NBA trade deadline.
Roger Mason scored 17 of his season-high 19 points in the second half to help the Wizards snap a three-game skid and win for only the 10th time this season.
Chris Kaman scored 20 points for the Hornets, who erased a 16-point deficit and took a brief lead in the fourth quarter, only to watch Mason hit three 3-pointers during Washington's 13-0 run that put the game away.
Earlier in the day, the Wizards traded guard Nick Young and centers JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf to Denver as part of a three team deal.
For this game at least, Mason more than made up for Young's 16.6 points per game, shooting 7 for 9, including 4 for 6 from 3-point range.
Seraphin had 12 points and nine rebounds in only his second start of the season. Jordan Crawford added 17 points and former Clemson standout Trevor Booker had 14.
