When diagnosing a specific problem, organized troubleshooting is a must. The complexity of a modern automobile demands that you approach any problem in a logical, organized manner. There are certain troubleshooting techniques that are standard:
- Establish when the problem occurs. Does the problem appear only under certain conditions- Were there any noises, odors, or other unusual symptoms-
- Isolate the problem area. To do this, make some simple tests and observations; then eliminate the systems that are working properly. Check for obvious problems such as broken wires, dirty connections or split or disconnected vacuum hoses. Always check the obvious before assuming something complicated is the cause.
- Test for problems systematically to determine the cause once the problem area is isolated. Are all the components functioning properly- Is there power going to electrical switches and motors- Is there vacuum at vacuum switches and/or actuators- Is there a mechanical problem such as bent linkage or loose mounting screws- Doing careful, systematic checks will often turn up most causes on the first inspection without wasting time checking components that have little or no relationship to the problem.
- Test all repairs after the work is done to make sure that the problem is fixed. Some causes can be traced to more than one component, so a careful verification of repair work is important to pick up additional malfunctions that may cause a problem to reappear or a different problem to arise. A blown fuse, for example, is a simple problem that may require more than another fuse to repair. If you don't look for a problem that caused a fuse to blow, for example, a shorted wire may go undetected.
Experience has shown that most problems tend to be the result of a fairly simple and obvious cause, such as loose or corroded connectors or air leaks in the intake system; making careful inspection of components during testing essential to quick and accurate troubleshooting. Special, hand held computerized testers designed specifically for diagnosing the system are available from a variety of aftermarket sources, as well as from the vehicle manufacturer, but care should be taken that any test equipment being used is designed to diagnose that particular computer controlled system accurately without damaging the control unit (ECU) or components being tested.
Pinpointing the exact cause of trouble in an electrical system can sometimes only be accomplished by the use of special test equipment. The following describes commonly used test equipment and explains how to put it to best use in diagnosis. In addition to the information covered below, the manufacturer's instructions booklet provided with the tester should be read and clearly understood before attempting any test procedures.
Jumper Wires
Jumper wires are simple, yet extremely valuable, pieces of test equipment. Jumper wires are merely wires that are used to bypass sections of a circuit. The simplest type of jumper wire is merely a length of multistrand wire with an inline fuse and alligator clips on the ends. Jumper wires are usually fabricated from lengths of standard automotive wire and whatever type of connector (alligator clip, spade connector or pin connector) that is required for the particular vehicle being tested. The well equipped tool box will have several different styles of jumper wires in several different lengths. Some jumper wires are made with three or more terminals coming from a common splice for special purpose testing. In cramped, hard-to-reach areas it is advisable to have insulated boots over the jumper wire terminals in order to prevent accidental grounding, sparks, and possible fire, especially when testing fuel system components. Any and all jumper wires must be fused.
Jumper wires are used primarily to locate open electrical circuits, on either the ground (-) side of the circuit or on the hot (+) side. If an electrical component fails to operate, connect the jumper wire between the component and a good ground. If the component operates only with the jumper installed, the ground circuit is open. If the ground circuit is good, but the component does not operate, the circuit between the power feed and component is open. You can sometimes connect the jumper wire directly from the battery to the hot terminal of the component, but first make sure the component uses 12 volts in operation. Some electrical components, such as fuel injectors, are designed to operate on about 4 volts and running 12 volts directly to the injector terminals can burn out the wiring. By inserting an inline fuseholder between a set of test leads, a fused jumper wire can be used for bypassing open circuits. Use a 5 amp fuse to provide protection against voltage spikes. When in doubt, use a voltmeter to check the voltage input to the component and measure how much voltage is being applied normally. By moving the jumper wire successively back from the lamp toward the power source, you can isolate the area of the circuit where the open is located. When the component stops functioning, or the power is cut off, the open is in the segment of wire between the jumper and the point previously tested.
Test Light
The most basic of electrical testing tools, the test light, has been brought into the computer age. For working on vehicles with computer controlled systems as all BMW's are, the old fashioned incandescent bulb test light is not appropriate. Use a LED type test light on your BMW. An incandescent test light can load a circuit enough to cause damage to the ECU or other electronic components.
LED type test lights are available at most auto supply stores or tool houses.Continuity Testing
In the same way that the incandescent bulb test light should not be used computer controlled circuits, self-powered test lights should not be used to perform continuity testing. Use a digital multimeter to perform these tests. Digital multimeters are inexpensive and easily obtained at any electronics or automotive supply shop. A basic multimeter will test voltage, resistance, current and also have a continuity function. The continuity function will often offer a audible tone feature allowing testing without having to look at the multimeter.
If the multimeter does not have a continuity test feature, place the unit into the resistance mode and test the circuit. A circuit with continuity will show 0-5 ohms resistance. If the resistance is much higher, there is a component inline with the wire being tested, or there is bad connection at some point. If the multimeter shows infinite resistance, there is a no continuity and there is most likely a break in the wire or a switch in the OFF position.Voltmeter
A voltmeter is used to measure voltage at any point in a circuit, or to measure the voltage drop across any part of a circuit. It can also be used to check continuity in a wire or circuit by indicating current flow from one end to the other. Voltmeters usually have various scales on the meter dial and a selector switch to allow the selection of different voltages. The voltmeter has a positive and a negative lead. To avoid damage to the meter, always connect the negative lead to the negative (-) side of circuit (to ground or nearest the ground side of the circuit) and connect the positive lead to the positive (+) side of the circuit (to the power source or the nearest power source). Note that the negative voltmeter lead will always be black and that the positive voltmeter will always be some color other than black (usually red). Depending on how the voltmeter is connected into the circuit, it has several uses.
A voltmeter can be connected either in parallel or in series with a circuit and it has a very high resistance to current flow. When connected in parallel, only a small amount of current will flow through the voltmeter current path; the rest will flow through the normal circuit current path and the circuit will work normally. When the voltmeter is connected in series with a circuit, only a small amount of current can flow through the circuit. The circuit will not work properly, but the voltmeter reading will show if the circuit is complete or not.Available Voltage Measurement
Set the voltmeter selector switch to the 20V position and connect the meter negative lead to the negative post of the battery. Connect the positive meter lead to the positive post of the battery and turn the ignition switch ON to provide a load. Read the voltage on the meter or digital display. A well charged battery should register over 12 volts. If the meter reads below 11.5 volts, the battery power may be insufficient to operate the electrical system properly. This test determines voltage available from the battery and should be the first step in any electrical trouble diagnosis procedure. Many electrical problems, especially on computer controlled systems, can be caused by a low state of charge in the battery. Excessive corrosion at the battery cable terminals can cause a poor contact that will prevent proper charging and full battery current flow.
Normal battery voltage is 12 volts when fully charged. When the battery is supplying current to one or more circuits it is said to be "under load". When everything is off the electrical system is under a "no-load" condition. A fully charged battery may show about 12.5 volts at no load; will drop to 12 volts under medium load; and will drop even lower under heavy load. If the battery is partially discharged the voltage decrease under heavy load may be excessive, even though the battery shows 12 volts or more at no load. When allowed to discharge further, the battery's available voltage under load will decrease more severely. For this reason, it is important that the battery be fully charged during all testing procedures to avoid errors in diagnosis and incorrect test results.Voltage Drop
When current flows through a resistance, the voltage beyond the resistance is reduced (the larger the current, the greater the reduction in voltage). When no current is flowing, there is no voltage drop because there is no current flow. All points in the circuit which are connected to the power source are at the same voltage as the power source. The total voltage drop always equals the total source voltage. In a long circuit with many connectors, a series of small, unwanted voltage drops due to corrosion at the connectors can add up to a total loss of voltage which impairs the operation of the normal loads in the circuit.Ohmmeter
The ohmmeter is designed to read resistance (ohms) in a circuit or component. Although there are several different styles of ohmmeters, all will usually have a selector switch which permits the measurement of different ranges of resistance (usually the selector switch allows the multiplication of the meter reading by 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000). A calibration knob allows the meter to be set at zero for accurate measurement. Since all ohmmeters are powered by an internal battery (usually 9 volts), the ohmmeter can be used as a self-powered test light. When the ohmmeter is connected, current from the ohmmeter flows through the circuit or component being tested. Since the ohmmeter's internal resistance and voltage are known values, the amount of current flow through the meter depends on the resistance of the circuit or component being tested.
The ohmmeter can be used to perform continuity test for opens or shorts (either by observation of the meter needle or as a self-powered test light), and to read actual resistance in a circuit. It should be noted that the ohmmeter is used to check the resistance of a component or wire while there is no voltage applied to the circuit. Current flow from an outside voltage source (such as the vehicle battery) can damage the ohmmeter, so the circuit or component should be isolated from the vehicle electrical system before any testing is done. Since the ohmmeter uses its own voltage source, either lead can be connected to any test point.
When checking diodes or other solid state components, the ohmmeter leads can only be connected one way in order to measure current flow in a single direction. Make sure the positive (+) and negative (-) terminal connections are as described in the test procedures to verify the one-way diode operation.
In using the meter for making continuity checks, do not be concerned with the actual resistance readings. Zero resistance, or any resistance readings, indicate continuity in the circuit. Infinite resistance indicates an open in the circuit. A high resistance reading where there should be none indicates a problem in the circuit. Checks for short circuits are made in the same manner as checks for open circuits except that the circuit must be isolated from both power and normal ground. Infinite resistance indicates no continuity to ground, while zero resistance indicates a dead short to ground.RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
The batteries in an ohmmeter will weaken with age and temperature, so the ohmmeter must be calibrated or "zeroed" before taking measurements. To zero the meter, place the selector switch in its lowest range and touch the two ohmmeter leads together. Turn the calibration knob until the meter needle is exactly on zero.
All analog (needle) type ohmmeters must be zeroed before use, but some digital ohmmeter models are automatically calibrated when the switch is turned on. Self-calibrating digital ohmmeters do not have an adjusting knob, but its a good idea to check for a zero readout before use by touching the leads together. All computer controlled systems require the use of a digital ohmmeter with at least 10 megohms impedance for testing. Before any test procedures are attempted, make sure the ohmmeter used is compatible with the electrical system or damage to the on-board computer could result.
To measure resistance, first isolate the circuit from the vehicle power source by disconnecting the battery cables or the harness connector. Make sure the key is OFF when disconnecting any components or the battery. Where necessary, also isolate at least one side of the circuit to be checked to avoid reading parallel resistances. Parallel circuit resistances will always give a lower reading than the actual resistance of either of the branches. When measuring the resistance of parallel circuits, the total resistance will always be lower than the smallest resistance in the circuit. Connect the meter leads to both sides of the circuit (wire or component) and read the actual measured ohms on the meter scale. Make sure the selector switch is set to the proper ohm scale for the circuit being tested to avoid misreading the ohmmeter test value.
An ammeter measures the amount of current flowing through a circuit in units called amperes or amps. Amperes are units of electron flow which indicate how fast the electrons are flowing through the circuit. Since Ohms Law dictates that current flow in a circuit is equal to the circuit voltage divided by the total circuit resistance, increasing voltage also increases the current level (amps). Likewise, any decrease in resistance will increase the amount of amps in a circuit. At normal operating voltage, most circuits have a characteristic amount of amperes, called "current draw" which can be measured using an ammeter. By referring to a specified current draw rating, measuring the amperes, and comparing the two values, one can determine what is happening within the circuit to aid in diagnosis. An open circuit, for example, will not allow any current to flow so the ammeter reading will be zero. More current flows through a heavily loaded circuit or when the charging system is operating.
An ammeter is always connected in series with the circuit being tested. All of the current that normally flows through the circuit must also flow through the ammeter; if there is any other path for the current to follow, the ammeter reading will not be accurate. The ammeter itself has very little resistance to current flow and therefore will not affect the circuit, but it will measure current draw only when the circuit is closed and electricity is flowing. Excessive current draw can blow fuses and drain the battery, while a reduced current draw can cause motors to run slowly, lights to dim and other components to not operate properly. The ammeter can help diagnose these conditions by locating the cause of the high or low reading.Multimeters
Different combinations of test meters can be built into a single unit designed for specific tests. Some of the more common combination test devices are known as Volt/Amp testers, Tach/Dwell meters, or Digital Multimeters. The Volt/Amp tester is used for charging system, starting system or battery tests and consists of a voltmeter, an ammeter and a variable resistance carbon pile. The voltmeter will usually have at least two ranges for use with 6, 12 and 24 volt systems. The ammeter also has more than one range for testing various levels of battery loads and starter current draw and the carbon pile can be adjusted to offer different amounts of resistance. The Volt/Amp tester has heavy leads to carry large amounts of current and many later models have an inductive ammeter pickup that clamps around the wire to simplify test connections. On some models, the ammeter also has a zero-center scale to allow testing of charging and starting systems without switching leads or polarity. A digital multimeter is a voltmeter, ammeter and ohmmeter combined in an instrument which gives a digital readout. These are often used when testing solid state circuits because of their high input impedance (usually 10 megohms or more).
The tach/dwell meter combines a tachometer and a dwell (cam angle) meter and is a specialized kind of voltmeter. The tachometer scale is marked to show engine speed in rpm and the dwell scale is marked to show degrees of distributor shaft rotation. In most electronic ignition systems, dwell is determined by the control unit, but the dwell meter can also be used to check the duty cycle (operation) of some electronic engine control systems. Some tach/dwell meters are powered by an internal battery, while others take their power from the car battery in use. The battery powered testers usually require calibration much like an ohmmeter before testing.Special Test Equipment
A variety of diagnostic tools are available to help troubleshoot and repair computerized engine control systems. The most sophisticated of these devices are the console type engine analyzers that usually occupy a garage service bay, but there are several types of aftermarket electronic testers available that will allow quick circuit tests of the engine control system by plugging directly into a special connector located in the engine compartment or under the dashboard. Several tool and equipment manufacturers offer simple, hand held testers that measure various circuit voltage levels on command to check all system components for proper operation. Although these testers usually cost about $300-$500, consider that the average computer control unit (or ECM) can cost just as much and the money saved by not replacing perfectly good sensors or components in an attempt to correct a problem could justify the purchase price of a special diagnostic tester the first time it's used.
These computerized testers can allow quick and easy test measurements while the engine is operating or while the car is being driven. In addition, the on-board computer memory can be read to access any stored trouble codes; in effect allowing the computer to tell you where it hurts and aid trouble diagnosis by pinpointing exactly which circuit or component is malfunctioning. In the same manner, repairs can be tested to make sure the problem has been corrected. The biggest advantage these special testers have is their relatively easy hookups that minimize or eliminate the chances of making the wrong connections and getting false voltage readings or damaging the computer accidentally.
It should be remembered that these testers check voltage levels in circuits; they don't detect mechanical problems or failed components if the circuit voltage falls within the preprogrammed limits stored in the tester PROM unit. Also, most of the hand held testers are designed to work only on one or two systems made by a specific manufacturer. Check for availability of a tester for your system.
A variety of aftermarket testers are available to help diagnose different computerized control systems. Owatonna Tool Company (OTC), for example, markets a device called the OTC Monitor which plugs directly into the diagnostic port. The OTC tester makes diagnosis a simple matter of pressing the correct buttons and, by changing the internal PROM or inserting a different diagnosis cartridge, it will work on any model from full size to subcompact, over a wide range of years. An adapter is supplied with the tester to allow connection to all types of diagnostic ports, regardless of the number of pin terminals used. By inserting an updated PROM into the OTC tester, it can be easily updated to diagnose any new modifications of computerized control systems.

There is a tendency among the Welsh to show great pride in the deeds of past ancestors who fought against English conquest; of men who wanted to force the English back, the championing of a distinct Welsh identity, the preservation of the nation's culture, it's heritage and it's language. However, as with so many of the Scots and Irish, such fervour doesn't appear to extend to the current and even greater invasion coming from third worlds. In fact, it would seem that the political leaders of modern Wales are, in a complete volte-face from those of popular heroes like Owain Glyndwr, actually making it easier for foreigners to undermine and displace the Welsh people in their own homeland.

I am in love. Valentino continues to make me a happy handbag fan. Yes, in the past, I've snubbed Valentino and thought that some bags were less than impressive. Today is not that kind of day. I am highly impressed with this Valentino Glam Tote. In fact, if I had some cash saved up, I would have bought it on the spot.
Before I get started, I must say, I really wish that Bergdorf Goodman would have larger images of products they carry available. However, luckily, they do have a zoom function. This zoom function has allowed me to fall in love with this bag. If it wasn't for that function, I probably would have passed the bag by. But instead, I was able to look at the bag a bit closer and completely admire the exquisite and intricate bead work.
This tote is comprised of nude napa leather and has double top handles. With the tote being as large as it is, I do wonder if slightly larger handles would do the bag a bit more justice, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. I wasn't really interested in the drawstring sides, but I can let that go too. See, this bag, it is just downright gorgeous. The stripes of mini-studs and crystals intertwine splendidly. And since some of the studs and crystals happen to be on the two-layer ruffles along the front of the bag, there is a bit of movement. I can picture myself carrying this bag as I walk through a restaurant and the the light being reflected off of the studs and crystals – amazing. It typical Valentino fashion, this bag doesn't come cheap, but like I said earlier, if I had money saved up, this bag would be mine! Buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $2690.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!


text: 38-Year-Old Woman Died Following Complications After Surgery At Pinderfields Hospital Medical Negligence Lawyers At Irwin Mitchell Secure Settlement For Family 15.12.2015 Specialist medical negligence lawyers at Irwin Mitchell have secured a settlement for the family of a 38-year-old woman with Crohn's disease who died just two weeks after undergoing a bowel operation because of delays in treating complications post-surgery. Tracy Hall, from Castleford, in West Yorkshire, was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 1996 and on 28th April 2009 she had elective surgery for reversal of a stoma at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, which lasted nine hours. Following the surgery, Tracy's condition deteriorated as she suffered post-operative complications including internal bleeding and contracted an infection. Her wound reopened a number of times and had to be washed out to prevent any infection. On 4th May 2009, Tracy was still very unwell and doctors noticed a lot of blood in her stoma bag and her stomach was protruding. She was taken back to surgery where it was discovered that an artery had been cut and her abdominal wall had burst. Tracy was taken to the High Dependency Unit where she was sedated. Over the next few days her condition continued to worsen; she was put on a life support machine and she had high blood pressure and a fever. The 38-year-old died on 12th May 2009 from multi-organ failure caused by sepsis. Tracy's family instructed specialist medical negligence lawyers at Irwin Mitchell to investigate the care she received at Pinderfields Hospital run by the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. The NHS Trust admitted that mistakes were made in her care. They said that she had active Crohn's disease at the time of the reversal surgery, meaning that the operation should have been delayed until she was more medically stable. If this been done, she would have survived. They also admitted that there was a delay in treating her post-operative complications. The parties reached agreement in relation to a six-figure settlement which will provide future financial protection for her husband and her two children. Tracy's mother said she hoped lessons would be learned to prevent similar tragic incidents in the future. Expert Opinion"Tracy's family have been left completely devastated by her sudden death and are still coming to terms with what has happened. "Her surgery should have been delayed as she was not stable enough to have an operation. The NHS Trust has admitted if the surgery had been delayed, she would have survived. "We hope that lessons can be learned by staff at the hospital to ensure critical mistakes like this when treating people with Crohn's disease do not happen again to any other families. "The fair settlement will go towards ensuring that her family, especially her husband and her two children, have financial support and protection in the future." Rebecca Pearey, Solicitor Her mum Carol said: "We have been completely heartbroken since losing Tracy – it was incredibly difficult for the whole family to see her suffer like she did and deteriorate so quickly in front of our eyes. "To think that if the doctors had waited longer before doing any operation on Tracy she could be still with us is devastating – she had been struggling for about a month before the surgery with abdominal pain and had lost nearly three stone in weight and we were surprised that they went ahead with it at the time. "We never imagined that just two weeks after surgery she would no longer be with us. I just hope that this doesn't happen to any other families and that the NHS Trust learns from its mistakes." If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of surgical negligence, we may be able to help you claim compensation. See our Medical Negligence Guide for more information.

Harold James Edward Boren (15 August 1923 - 9 December 2009) was an English politician and liberal activist influential in the formation of the Labour Party in the post-Anarchy Republic and was a passionate and highly-regarded Leader of the Opposition during the Minor Ministry in the 1970's. Regarded as one of the left-wing firebrands in his party, he was often successfully portrayed as a "Second Wave Socialist" or "New Socialist" by the Conservatives and lost both general elections in which he stood as Party Leader against Minor. He eventually retired after his second election failed and handed off the reigns to the more centrist Andrew Brantle, but remained in Parliament until 1984, the year he was defeated in his first election, and was unable to regain a seat in 1987, 1990 and 1993.
Until his sudden death of a heart attack in 2009, Boren remained an influential figure on the left and was a strong critic of the "New Labour" ideology of leaders such as John Lennon or Jack Davenport.

The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover adds long-wheelbase comfort and Autobiography Black style to an already impressive all-purpose vehicle.
All new just last year, the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover retains its position at the very top of the luxury SUV segment. While the first Range Rovers more than 40 years ago now seem laughably archaic, the latest edition is firmly steeped in tradition but completely up to date in design, materials, features, and capabilities. It's got modern powertrains (and more to come), superb interior design and materials, and the latest in sophisticated electronics. The total package makes it one of the most impressive, desirable sport utilities in the world.
As one owner once said, "It'll climb mountains, rocks, and probably trees, all without disturbing your enjoyment of one of the subtler symphony movements"--although the champagne in your passenger's flute may slosh a bit.
For 2014, Range Rover has replaced the previous standard V-8 engine with a new supercharged V-6. Combined with the all-aluminum construction pioneered in 2013--fully 700 pounds lighter than its predecessor--the new engine boosts efficiency even further to meet various challenging global fuel-economy and carbon emissions goals.
So how does the new Land Rover Range Rover look? Just about like it should, though it's a very streamlined, modern take on the boxy, upright themes of past decades. From the side, the 2014 Range Rover looks fairly traditional, though the wraparound headlights, the more relaxed windshield angle, and the floating roof all help keep it fresh and interesting. Head-on, the Range Rover's "face" is friendlier, with each surface seemingly flush with the next, from the grille to the headlights to the bumper to the hood. At the rear, a slightly up-swept profile is reminiscent of the original. Inside the new Range Rover you'll find even more modern accommodations, with a distinctly high-tech look and feel; huge LCD screens nestle in ranks of wood and semi-aniline leather surroundings. In the Autobiography edition (and especially the all-new Autobiography Black), the feel is more hand-built bespoke than production-volume luxury.
Lighter, stiffer, more efficient, and still quite powerful, the 2014 Range Rover is an impressive SUV, both on-road and off. Replacing the previous normally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 is a new 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 engine rated at 340 horsepower. That's a decrease of 35 horsepower, but it brings gains in gas mileage, and wrapped in the new Range Rover's all-aluminum chassis, it still feels plenty athletic--if anything, even more so thanks to its ample 332 pound-feet of torque. A supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 is also available for higher-tier models, rated at 510 horsepower. A ZF eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters delivers smooth, quick shifts in all models.
Feeling more like a long, tall touring sedan than the tippy, off-road-biased SUV it once did, the new Range Rover's manners are better than ever. Independent suspension, adaptive air dampers, and variable-ratio electric power steering help deliver these more finely tuned responses. The result is a smooth, languid experience behind the wheel with a feeling of greater control and directness. On Supercharged models, which also gain an active anti-roll bar system, the feeling is more taut and sporty, but can still offer ample comfort--and plenty of off-road ability, too. Surprisingly, perhaps, the long-wheelbase version of the new Range Rover feels just as nimble, with no noticeable difference in manners despite growing about 7 inches in wheelbase and rear leg room.
In the dirt, mud, gravel, snow, or sand, the Range Rover is every bit as at home as it is on the asphalt. Full-time four-wheel drive, plus a new generation of Land Rover's excellent Terrain Response Control system make for a truly fit off-roader. The Terrain Response Control system uses sensors to predict surface traction ahead of the vehicle, modifying parameters for the stability control, traction control, and active differential on the fly. Drivers can also select from give different modes: General; Grass/Gravel/Snow; Mud/Ruts; Sand; and Rock Crawl. With more than 12 inches of ground clearance when the air suspension is raised to its highest setting, and three feet of fording depth, the 2014 Range Rover is more than just a flashy luxury SUV--it's a real Land Rover. On top of its on-road and off-road ability, the Range Rover can also tow up to 7,700 pounds.
Despite being lighter, the new Range Rover is about 1.7 inches longer (in standard form) than its predecessor. There's also an additional 4.7 inches of leg room (or 7.3 inches in the long-wheelbase model). The front seats carry on the Range Rover tradition of offering fantastic visibility owing to their upright position and low, expansive glass all around. Step-in height is lower than before, too, thanks to a lower setting for the air suspension. In the rear, the seats recline and feature heating, ventilation, and massage functions, and also offer limo-like leg room, especially in the long-wheelbase version. With the Autobiography Black package (a limited edition upgrade beyond even the Autobiography), the luxury factor goes through the roof, with even more premium materials and available gadgets. The rear tailgate design features a split design with power-operated elements.
Dual LCD screens are standard in all Range Rovers, including a 12.3-inch unit that replaces the instrument panel, and an 8-inch touchscreen in the center stack that handles infotainment duty. A combination of touchscreen inputs and physical buttons controls climate, phone, audio, navigation, and more. The screen's interface on the central display is upgraded from previous models, but doesn't quite match the slickness of the larger instrument panel screen. All models also get leather upholstery as standard equipment, but upgrades to a panoramic sunroof, a 1,700-watt Meridian audio system, surround-view cameras, cooler boxes, and more are available. Aesthetes can pick from a selection of 37 exterior colors, 17 interior colors, and three veneers.
The U.K.-built Range Rover starts from $83,500 for base models, about $100,000 for the Supercharged, and more than $130,000 for the ultra-lux Autobiography models. Long wheelbase models begin sales in March, 2014.

Norway Experiences: Top 5 Ways To See The Northern Lights
You will always remember the first time you saw the LightsPublished
Were you on a Hurtigruten ship, lying in the snow on a remote hill-side, snowmobiling through the frozen landscape or something completely different? Here are five ways to experience the Northern Lights.
1. Midnight Concert in the Arctic Cathedral
Take part in a Midnight Concert in the Arctic Cathedral. Listen to the sounds of Norwegian Folk songs as well as classical and sacred selections as the Northern Lights dance outside in Tromsø.
2. Warming up in a Sámi tent
Enjoying a warm drink and a slice of cake in a traditional Sámi lavvo before experiencing the traditional way of Sámi transport through the Arctic landscape, being pulled by a reindeer sleigh as you spot the Aurora Borealis above you in the night sky.
3. Sipping champagne in a hot tub
Take a glass of champagne with you out on deck to one of Hurtigruten's on board hot tubs. Sailing through the breath-taking scenery covered in crisp white snow, the Northern Lights complete the perfect scene.
4. Dog sledging in the hills of Tromsø
Sitting two to a sleigh being pulled or taking turns driving the sledge with the Northern Lights shining overhead.
5. On deck with a hot coffee, a tripod and your camera
For the budding photographers amongst you, wrap up warm, set up your tripod and try your luck at capturing the elusive Northern Lighst on film. A strong, hot Norwegian coffee will help keep your hands warm.

ProSep has signed a collaboration agreement with Generon IGS, an industry-leading provider of comprehensive gas separation and compression solutions, to develop and commercialize a state-of-the-art line of CO2 separation membrane products. The collaboration will see ProSep engineer, manufacture and distribute gas treatment packages, including Generon's innovative membrane technologies, for the upstream oil and gas industry.
Generon's CO2 membrane modules have superior selectivity, which dramatically increases hydrocarbon recovery and minimizes permeate loss. Compared to competitive spiral-wound, flat-sheet membranes, the hollow-fiber membrane offers a greater surface area, which significantly reduces the required footprint and weight of the complete system.
The technology has been piloted over the last 24 months, with promising results. In one field study at an offshore gas production facility, hydrocarbon recovery improved from 85 to 91 percent, equating to an additional ~ USD $50 million per year in residue gas sales.

Jason Phillips, 27 May 1975, Yonkers, New York City, New York, USA. First rising to prominence as the premier rapper with east coast hip-hop trio, the LOX, Jadakiss launched his own solo career at the start of the new millennium. Raised in the Yonkers district of New York City, Jadakiss began participating in rhyming showdowns with other local hopefuls at the age of 12 (both on the street and during his lunch break at school). Word soon spread about Jadakiss talents, reaching another rapper, DMX, who in turn put him in contact with the hip-hop collective, Ruff Ryders, in 1994. It was through his association with Ruff Ryders that Jadakiss encountered Styles and Sheek Louch and formed the LOX in 1996. Before the trio even had an album in the stores, they began guesting on recordings by some of rap and pops biggest names, including hits by Sean Puffy Combs, Ma$e, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, among others. The trios Money, Power &...

Bite your tongue, Chuckles, it's not as bad as you think. Oh sure, the favorite pseduo-sport of Al Bundy, Homer Simpson, and guys who'd seem more in character shouting "Get in my belly, wee man!" than "*@^!$# gutterball!" doesn't seem like the most likely candidate for a computer game, but we've seen stranger fare. PBA Bowling 2 may not be as macho as Head Games' Full Strength Strongman Competition or as shady as Gremlin's Pool Shark, but just like these other overlooked titles, no self-respecting, red-blooded American male should be able to fend off the temptation to give it a look.
According to Bethesda Softworks, PBA Bowling 2 is the most realistic bowling simulation for the PC. They've probably spent months whipping their programming team like slaves to make sure that the ball, lane, and pin physics are impeccably accurate. The only thing you'll care about, however, is whether or not your poorly dressed alter-ego can actually pick up a split. To its credit, the game succeeds in this area, although trying to get the hang of the interface is a serious bitch. Yes, it is actually possible to make hook shots and whap the pins hard enough to make them fly into one another, but it ain't easy.
Because this title uses a multi-click interface akin to the swing meter found in golf sims such as the PGA Tour Series, you'll have to have the reflexes of a cobra to bowl decently. Hitting the space bar fast enough to properly set your ball's accuracy, power, and spin/backspin is a challenge worthy of a Shaolin master. You'll find it works better to just move your bowler into the proper position then set up a drinking bird toy over the keyboard and let it do the work.
And work would be the operating word here, because play sessions are as exciting as a 12 hour Webster marathon. Why in God's name anyone would want to buy a bowling sim that forces players to sit through everyone's turn just like they'd have to do at their local alley is beyond me. During the wait, you'll have plenty of time to mull over the fact that the AI controlled players, whose difficulty level can't be adjusted, seldom miss what they aim for. Feel like lowering your self-esteem? There's nothing quite like watching the computer rack up strike after strike while your ball routinely lands in the gutter, prompting you to curse like a grizzled sailor. Now that's entertainment.
But perhaps I'm being a bit too harsh. In some ways PBA Bowling 2 is palatable, provided you're willing to overlook the fact that it has no long term play modes whatsoever. Leaving owners with rather limited options for practice runs as well as regular and team games, they're also guaranteed to get limited enjoyment and replay value out of the title as well. As an act of mercy on Bethesda's part, it's at least possible to run through a set of ten frames in under thirty minutes. Then again, having more than two people involved increases play time exponentially. However long one plays for though, they'll soon realize that while taking pot shots at pins can be a diverting goal, it's hardly the stuff great games are made of. Things could have been improved slightly with proper multiplayer support, but the designers opted instead to make head to head match-ups available only on the same computer.
Problems are compounded by the program's distinct lack of charm. On the personality scale, it ranks slightly above a sweaty gym sock. For example, though it's nice to design your own bowler down to their facial hair and geeky shoes, the facial shot which corresponds to them never changes or displays any emotion whatsoever. And while the polygonal putzes you control occasionally slap the ground in frustration or dance about, they never curse, shout, or complain like their real-life counterparts. Even the various alleys such as Piccard Lanes, Incred-A-Bowl or Showboat which serve as the backdrops for competitions are dull and lifeless. It's not exactly a plus when infrequent glimpses of the nacho bar and computer bowlers enjoying a game are all that offer a break from the monotony. Would it have been too much to ask for a little animated sequence when you pull off a strike or spare? Even this simple feature, which livens up even the most half-assed bowling alleys, somehow hasn't made it to the PC.
Let's check the scoreboard... It's PBA Bowling 2 - 1, sweaty gym sock - 0. But the sock wins by a landslide when it comes to visual appeal, because PBA Bowling 2's designers have gone retro when it comes to the game's visual flair...way retro. Aside from a few average quality fly by shots of the ball striking the pins, there's little in the way of eye candy offered. Bowlers are 3D models composed of reasonably well crafted, if basic textures, yet their movements are stiff and unnatural. We're talking to the point that it's a small wonder they don't launch into a full blown seizure. Given one look at their surroundings, who could blame them? Take for instance the backgrounds, which are made from a hybrid of 3D objects (benches, coke machines, etc.) and still pictures. Suffice it to say that the end result looks about as promising as Gary Coleman's current financial situation. Even more horrifying, however, are the scoreboards, which appear to be rendered in stunning EGA, complete with a font that most shareware historians believed to be extinct circa 1992. Topping off the experience is the punchy, synthesizer and horn heavy music that boasts that oh-so-revolutionary MIDI sound quality. I dare say that this title's production values would scarcely cover the cost of a Big Mac.
For the "sequel to the best selling bowling game of all time ," PBA Bowling 2 certainly leaves a lot to be desired. It covers all of the bases required for classification as a bowling simulation, but fails to go above and beyond the call of duty in any regard. Don't get me wrong, it's not as unpolished as Head Games' Pro Bowl 3D, but it doesn't really hold a candle to THQ's Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling either. Then again, what could one expect from a "detailed simulation" with a manual that's only eight pages long (including covers and credits, mind you). Ironically, for a title with big, heavy balls, PBA Bowling 2 is as bland as a rice cake.

Holy Spirit High School running backs Donta Pollock and Nigel Jones stand on the verge of an impressive milestone, according to Chuck Langerman, a long-time South Jersey football historian.
Pollock has 4,245 career rushing yards. Jones has 3,543 career rushing yards.
If Jones reaches 4,000, it will be the first time in state history that two backs on the same team have topped that milestone in the same season, according to Langerman.
Langerman in an email added that followers of high school sports around the country can't remember this happening on a national level.
Jones and Pollock can add to their totals when Spirit (3-2) plays at Hammonton (5-0) on Friday at 7 p.m.
Hammonton is No. 4 in The Press Elite 11, while Spirit is No. 5.

I would think a reader was a fantastic thing to have as a child; but one other question you should consider is how she will obtain books. Unless she has her own credit card she will probably need someone else to buy online for her (and even if her parents are happy to do that it means she will have to ask them every time there is something new she wants) -- it's not as easy as taking her pocket money into a bookshop. You might also want to consider her tastes and investigate whether the kind of books she likes are published electronically -- I see quite a lot of children's books as ebooks but I think not as many as books marketed to adults.
(Unless of course she is going to read only public domain classics and fan fiction in which case she may be able to download them herself).

About shrimp paste Edit
Southeast Asian shrimp paste, known variously as terasi, trasi and trassi, comes in cakes that can range from soft and grayish-pink to firm and brownish in color. Shrimp paste is made by grinding up salted, fermented shrimp and has a strong, salty, fishy flavor. It's used sparingly in myriad Asian preparations, particularly soups, sauces and rice dishes. The pungent odor common to all the shrimp pastes dissipates somewhat during cooking.

Hi guys, I wonder has anyone any recommendations for purple food colouring for mixing into cake batter?
I've tried normal liquid (mixing red ad blue) and sugarflair purple gel and both just give a sad looking grey/lilac colour.
All my other colours are nice and bright on my rainbow cakes it's just the purple that's disappointing!
stir in some blueberries?
but i'm not sure why the purple colors don't work but blueberry will
Haha thanks guys will give that a go on my next one :)
Rainbow cake is my signature cake so would really like it to be perfect :)
I love the purple in this rainbow cake: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=420062771363757&set=a.198946576808712.45975.196864310350272&type=3&theater
Check the comments, she posted what colors she's used...
AThank you,I must check is that brand stocked in ireland :)
AI mix sugarflairs deep purple with their fuchsia and I get a lovely purple colour. Not sure if I still have a picture or not. I'll have a look.
Not the best picture but it's all I have. I was doing it for college so it's just a quick shot in class. But you came play with the level of purple with how you mix the two colours together.
Oh that's a lovely colour, I may try that next time and see can i get similar results.
i just wanted to say that i would recommend making cupcakes with the different types of coloring in order to test this out to get it to your liking--

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 19/4/2013 (1580 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- The mother-in-law of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect killed during a gun battle with police said Friday her family is sickened by the horror inflicted by the deadly attack.
Judith Russell, whose daughter Katherine was married to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen who came to the U.S. from Russia, read a statement from inside her home in Rhode Island through a partially open doorway.
"Our daughter has lost her husband today, the father of her child. We cannot begin to comprehend how this horrible tragedy occurred," Russell said. "In the aftermath of the Patriots' Day horror, we know that we never really knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev."
Tsarnaev, 26, and his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who was taken into custody Friday evening, are the suspects in Monday's marathon bombing, which killed three and wounded more than 180.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed overnight following a spate of violence in which authorities say the brothers shot and killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology policeman, severely wounded another officer and hurled explosives at police during a car chase.
Russell said, "Our hearts are sickened by the knowledge of the horror he has inflicted."
Neighbour Paula Gillette, who lives across the street, said Katherine Russell left for college a few years ago, and when she came back she dressed in less revealing clothing with head coverings. She said Russell and her husband had a young daughter, but Russell appeared to be living without her husband.
"Everything looked very peaceful," Gillette said, adding Russell and her parents have been good neighbours.

Social Media
Does twitter affect teenager's life positively or negatively?
"It's kinda like math in a way with negatives and positives. If one person says something it brings them down, if this one person says the equal amount, that's just as good, it evens out."
"I do not envy our four teenagers in the least: far from carefree, their adolescence is a tangled web of angst that is, I think, qualitatively different from that of past generations. The difference, I suggest, stems from a unique constellation of cultural habits that has exacerbated their self-consciousness to an almost-paralyzing degree."
"I think kids base their self-worth today on how many followers they have, how many likes they're getting on their pictures or what comments they're getting from friends or not getting from other people that they wish that they did"

A Note on the Consistency of Game Theory
It has been claimed in the literature that classical game theory is inconsistent, since it (implicitly) assumes that all players are rational and that this is common knowledge among them, while these two assumptions seem to be contradictory. The purpose of this note is to suggest a framework which allows the formalization of these implicit axioms in a consistent way. The main idea is to distinguish between conceivable and possible states of the world, while both exist as formal objects in the theory. Thus we may require that the players would make rational choices only at possible states of the world, and that this fact be common knowledge at all (conceivable) states, where the impossible ones are present in the model for the sole purpose of formally presenting the players' reasoning. It seems that the new concept of possible states of the world is an analytical tool which may have further (theoretical) applications.

Like say you caught your boyfriend cheating and you loved him but broke up because it was too upsetting
When would you update Facebook so he wasn't in your featured photos and relationship status?
Immediately? A few days or weeks?
Most Helpful Guy
things usually change overtime , some girls delete the photos sooner than others , eventually they have to go if they want a new guy , can they really expect new guy to look at photo's of her and ex together00|00|0
Most Helpful Girl
I think it depends on when I feel ready to.
If I caught him cheating however I'd immediately block any possible way he could contact me and delete all the pictures. As for my relationship status I would keep that hidden until I was happy being single again, then I would change it to being single.
There's no set time frame of when you should do these things. It all depends on when you feel ready to.00|00|0

Factors to Consider Before You Donate
Here are some important factors that everyone should consider before they make any donation to an NGO
With the rise in population around the globe, the number of underprivileged children is also increasing at an alarming rate. These children are devoid of any support mainly because most of them are orphans or there is no one to look after. Several NGOs such as CRY around the globe have made it their aim to take care of these underprivileged children and do everything they can to make a positive change in these kids' lives.
You too can help these organisations, and in turn, the kids simply by making online donations of something so small as just Rs. 100, up to even lakhs. However, make sure you have holistic knowledge about your donations and different factors involved. Here are certain suggestions you must consider while making online donations:
Budgeting for Charity
Before you decide on the amount you wish to donate, understand that your donation is in proportion to your finances and that you do not have to stretch beyond your means. Try not to go compare your donation amount with others—about 2% of your annual income should be appropriate. There are plenty of other ways to get creative and make a change without having to donate cash, such as donating time services and even gifts.
Narrow Down on the Kind of Organization
Before deciding on making your donation, consider what type of charity organization to which you wish to donate— whether a big international one or simply a small organisation involved in a more localised cause. While donating to a large organization, your contribution amount might be seem paltry; however, once it is combined with all donations, the impact would definitely create a huge difference. On the other hand, donating to a small organization may not have a broad impact, but your gift alone could make a huge difference to one single individual or even a family.
Be Clear About the Mission
Make sure that you do your research well on the previously listed sites in order to find organizations whose goals align with yours. Once that is done, head to the concerned organization's website and take a proper look at their programs and to see if they work in domains wherein you wish to bring about some change. If they do, feel free to make your donation to help the underprivileged.

So, do you ever have a period where nothing goes your way then suddenly one weekend you just have the best gaming session ever? That was this weekend for me.....
I decided to stop raiding with my guild now until cata, this decision came because I was sick of people either not turning up or turning up late. This would mean our raids would start between 30mins -> 1hr later than expected and we would end up pugging 2-4 slots dependent on turnout. Now, the thing to bear in mind is that we used to be able to almost field a full 25man squad.....how we have fallen on bad times....
So I have been working on my shammy, got it into 4piece t10 elemental with all the other bits between 245 ->264 only the neck is a let down at 232. This is with only one run to icc25 which only managed the first wing (that scored me 2 264 rings :) ). I have been working on my t10 resto set to finally finishing that off this weekend from random dungeons (but that is a side note).
Saturday night comes round, it is late and I am queuing for randoms again (trying to fix the aforementioned resto set) when I see someone asking for a shammy DPS for icc10. Now I know my shammy has zero achievements for ICC10 and I am not the best shammy in the world by a long shot. So I contact the person advertising, warn them I am not the best shammy, but I have KS10 on my DK so know the encounters. The check me out on the armoury, inspect me in Dalaran and invite me.....
Jump on their TS3 server, which was a good mark for me in that I was able to get that sorted without prompting, after they linked details in channel. First wing was a breeze with Lootship on HC, second wing we wiped once on PP due to it being the offtank's first time as abomTank. They did listen to my advice on TS about the abomTank (done it a few times) and the 2nd attempt went off without a hitch.
Wiped once on blood princes, everyone learned from the mistake and they died on 2nd attempt. Was then a clean run right through to LK which we wiped on once due to a bad defile but 2nd time he was downed. This has to be the single smoothest raid I have done in a very VERY long time. Worst part is, it was 6 members from one guild (props to Synergy on Arathor-EU) and 4 pugs (myself being one of them). Most of the synergy chars were alts so 95% of the raid got the achievement for Arthas on that run.
So Saturday ended with me getting Kingslayer10 on my shammy on it's first run through ICC10 which was awesome for me. Then came Sunday.....I have been trying for the Raven Lord from Anzu every day since they unlocked the boss to all. So when it dropped lastnight I was over the moon. Then about 30mins later I remembered my Oracles Egg should be ready; open that and out pops the Green Proto-drake that I have been after since hitting 80 and getting rep up with the Oracles. (that is on my DK main)....
....finally, after many heroic runs I polished off my resto set on the shammy too. The four set bonus is immense "if Chain Heal crits in does 25% of the healing as a HoT". Cannot wait for the heroic runs tonight to test that out. Oh, and I got a crap load of OS drops for Enhancement while in ICC too as a bonus.
So all in all a bloody good weekend for me, now if I can just have this luck continue this weekend on my weekly attempts to get Midnight/Zulian Tiger/Zulian Raptor mounts I will be happy.

How can 95% of a 10 man raid get the Arthas achievement? :p
I was sick and couldn't concentrate on WoW. I watched crappy movies instead. Now I know where the balance was...
Asshole XD
Nov 15, 2010 at 5:42 UTC
That is fantastic Dess, congrats. I still haven't been past saurfang in ICC, went and moved country but still playing on old servers (can't move toons from US -> EU). And I just can't start a raid at 2am, not with work the next morning.
Nov 15, 2010 at 6:18 UTC
Well with Worgen, Colin, you can get the tophat part :P
I got in that run with no achivement on the shammy, but they could see I had invested the time necessary to gear up the shammy through heroics. 4Piece T10, crafted 264 legs/boots, crafted 245 bracers, 264 justice point trinkets. 270 shield and dagger from Honour. Also 2 rings from ICC25 (which was a pug i might add), so they knew they were at least getting someone who was geared enough for the run. The vast majority of my gear from from running Heroics over and over as Enhancement (which I leveled as) to buy the elemental gear (that I wanted) then moving into Elemental when I had reasonible gear.
After that it was use a crappy resto set to heal some heroics (quicker queues) to get the remaining points. Some would argue, why spend the time in heroics gearing when I can get drops in ICC....I would counter that with, because you need to at least be of a certain gearing to contribute to the group.
@WTFBBQ - sorry to hear you were feeling so down dude. As to the %age, okay 90% .... one person already had KS (you pedant :P )
Nov 16, 2010 at 8:39 UTC
Sounds alot like my weekend. Had a 174 average item on my sham for enhc and a 230 for resto. brought them both up to 241 in one day within a 6 hour time frame majooooor upgrades.. Anyone know if enhancement is going to be any good in cata?
Nov 16, 2010 at 4:19 UTC
I just got sick and tired of my main, just like others with having to have the gearscore, have the achievements, etc. etc., that I started a new toon on a new server about two weeks ago and have been enjoying the leveling part of the game again. In the past I've leveled a rogue, priest, warrior, and druid to the level cap at the time I played them, so now it's time to try out warlock under the new rules.
Very fun. :)

2012 Photovoltaic Projects of Distinction Award Presented to Arizona Western College and PPA Partners for Landmark 5MW Multi-Technology Solar Installation and Program
March 21, 2012The 5MW multi-technology solar installation at Arizona Western College (AWC) in Yuma, AZ was recognized Wednesday morning by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) as one of the three most unique photovoltaic projects of 2012. The announcement and ceremony took place at PV America's annual conference in San Jose, CA.
This system is composed of five one-megawatt sites across the campus, and will offset nearly 100% of the campus's daytime electricity, while saving the College approximately $62 Million over the lifetime of the contract.
"This prestigious award shows what is possible on our nations Community College Campuses. Having our project recognized with this award proves what a resource our Community Colleges truly are. When complete the AWC Solar Program will provide opportunities for community involvement, valuable research, data and curriculum support for the School and for Arizona. Furthermore, additional incubation sites that new and existing technologies can access will be available for them to measure their performance under Yuma and Arizona's amazing Solar Resource." said Bruce Mercy CEO of PPA Partners after the award ceremony.
"These are exciting times for the U.S. solar industry and the recipients of these awards exemplify energy innovation at its best," said Rhone Resch, president and CEO of SEIA. More than 84 projects were evaluated by a panel of independent judges, determining the uniqueness and collective benefit to the community. Judges also looked for innovative use of policy and financing to enhance the project's impact, according to SEPA and SEIA.
The project was financed and will be owned throughout the 30 year contract by Mainstreet Power, and was constructed by Rosendin Electric.
The installation was facilitated by the APS Renewable Energy Incentive Program, which offers financial incentives to residential and commercial customers. The Program is funded by APS customers and approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission.
The technologies include CPV panels from SolFocus and GreenVolts, Thin Film panels from Sharp Solar, Mono Crystalline panels from SolarWorld and Poly Crystalline panels from Suntech. The system will utilize single-axis trackers from SunEdison and dual-axis trackers from SolFocus and GreenVolts; the tracking systems allow the panels to continually track the movement of the sun in order to maximize electricity generation. The system utilizes Satcon Inverters.
PPA Partners LLC is a project developer of distributed generation solar programs across North America, specializing in Colleges and Universities interested in saving on their Energy bills, and creating unique learning and revenue generation opportunities.
