How The New Trend of Measuring Everything Can Improve Your Life
I'm sure many people reacted as I did when the new activity trackers started sprouting up in 2012 (although they were around before, they gained momentum only in the last couple years). It's excessive, unnecessary and just one more data point that a company can track about us and figure out a way to sell us more products. I still think that most of that rings true to an extent, however, since I started wearing my own step and sleep tracker (thanks to a free UP band given to me from my company), the mantra "You can't improve what you don't measure" rings much louder. The truth about my fitness is that it's highly erratic. I'll run and workout three weeks in a row, and then do nothing for the next two weeks. I'll eat extremely healthy one week, then gorge on junk food and eat out every day for the next week. But the activity steadily reminds me to do a few key things to improve my health:
- Walk 10,000 steps per day
- Sleep 8 hours per night
- Log foods you eat
Now when a day is almost over and I've taken a mere 3,000 steps, I'll grab the dogs for a long evening walk. When I've slept less than 6 hours a few nights in a row, I'm excited to get a good night's rest in that night. I've had the band for a few months, and the more consistently I wear it, the more I am aware of my activities and am motivated to stay on track. There are tons of new apps to keep track of everything, including your spending, your workouts, your runs (I use the Nike running app) and your calories. Are you thinking, is this a bit much? Do we really need to know this much about ourselves? Isn't it enough just to go to bed at a decent hour and make sure to get a workout in 4 to 5 days per week? Sure, it can be enough. If you're disciplined. But maybe tracking this stuff for a while can help you become disciplined, getting enough sleep, burning more calories than you eat, and generally staying on top of your physical activity.
It can also be reassuring when you feel like you're not seeing any progress in pounds lost, to look back and see your activity and sleep steadily improving. If you've increased your step average from 5,000 to 8,000, your body will improve in endurance and strength and even better, regular activity will become a vital part of your day. You might think you're athletic because you're wearing yoga pants or because you work out three times a week, but what are you doing with the rest of your time? If you're not eating healthy almost every day, getting up and walking and exercising every single day, and getting regular sleep, you're probably not as healthy as you think. This can even affect your energy and performance levels.
Tracking what you do is the best way to improve what you do. Why should sleep and exercise be things we wish the best for, but make no effort to track? I wonder how I will feel on a week where I sleep for over 8 hours every single night and take over 10,000 steps every single day, while recording all of my food intake as well? Although right now it feels like those will take up my entire week, the reality is that once I make those activities essential habits, my days will open to tremendous new potential.
What do you think? Are you on the "track and measure" bandwagon?
2 Responses to How The New Trend of Measuring Everything Can Improve Your Life
I'm definitely on the track and measure bandwagon for what I eat…..because if I don't the amount of crap I will eat is astounding. I don't necessarily have to be on a strict diet, I just need to be on a "stop shoving so much crap in your piehole between meals" diet. When I SEE what I'm doing, it helps me throttle it down. 🙂
With my fitbit I was tracking & measuring EVERYTHING… and it totally got out of hand. Now I'm taking a break from logging my every move so I don't annoy my boyfriend anymore 😉
I like tracking everything, but I think it's easy to get carried away and become obsessive. Measuring every calorie I ate meant I was thinking about food all the time, which made me think I was hungry all the time… it wasn't good. That said, watching everything made me develop some more healthy habits. For example, I couldn't believe how much walking you actually have to do to get to 10,000 steps per day. It's insane! Now I get up and take a "walking break" twice during each workday just to get away from my desk. I don't know how many steps I'm taking, but I know it's over 10,000 when I do this because I tracked it before 😉

Illustrator: Alastair Duckworth
Client: Alpha Course
The UK's first mainstream TV commercial for Christianity has been broadcast on Channel Four.
The advertisement for the Alpha course will be seen by millions of people. As well as being shown on Channel Four, it has also appeared on the E4 and E4+1 digital channels and on 2,200 cinema screens nationwide.
The commercial will also appear on screens in hundreds of bars nationwide and hundreds of buses in London and Birmingham.
The 60-second advertisement is for the Alpha course which runs in 7,000 UK churches of all denominations across the UK. It was created by Alastair Duckworth, 24, an Alpha supporter.
The Alpha course is a 15 session introduction to Christianity for non-churchgoers run by churches of every major denomination.
It is supported by senior church leaders around the world including the Archbishop of Canterbury and many Roman Catholic Cardinals.
The campaign is being financed by churches and charitable trusts and Christian benefactors.
Alpha UK Director Rebecca Stewart said, "With an increasing number of young people in their 20s and 30s attending Alpha courses, television and cinema advertising is ideal for us to increase the profile of the course among those who are most interested."

World news story
British Embassy Sofia launches Holiday Hangover 2014 campaign
- English
- български
The prevention campaign encourages safe behaviour in Bulgaria's most diverse and popular summer resort Sunny Beach.
On 24 July 2014, British Ambassador to Bulgaria Jonathan Allen and Her Majesty's Consul, Simon Tucker launched the Holiday Hangover prevention campaign in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. The campaign, targeted at young tourists, aged 16 to 30, aims to engage those with risky behaviour and help them have a safe and enjoyable holiday. The campaign is being run for a second consecutive year by the Consular team at the British Embassy and is a result of the team's observation that many of the consular cases the team deal with are preventable.
The campaign relies on simple messages with strong impact and high potential to engage young people. The messages are delivered using information materials (wristbands, lanyards and beer mats) giving the international emergency number 112 and basic advice how to stay safe. The Holiday Hangover campaign is mainly run digitally, i.e. via Twitter, Facebook, TV and radio fillers. The official hashtag is #HolidayHangover.
The campaign is supported by local partners in Sunny Beach such as tour operators, local police, Sunny Beach AD, the Union of Hotel Owners in Sunny Beach, Business Association Sunny Beach, the Municipality, and owners of bars and clubs.
Jonathan Allen, British Ambassador to Bulgaria, said:
In the last decade, Bulgaria has been a very popular tourist destination among British nationals. The Holiday Hangover messages don't seek to stop them from having fun by any means. We want people to enjoy their holiday, but we also wish to remind them what the consequences are when they go over the top. I am glad that the Consular team are working closely with local partners in order to provide the best assistance and advice to British holidaymakers. It was no surprise that the Holiday Hangover campaign was a big success last summer, a result which I hope will be exceeded this season.
Simon Tucker, British Consul to Bulgaria, commented:
With Sunny Beach receiving over 100,000 British visitors in the summer, we are committed to taking steps to help them have safe and problem-free holiday. I am proud that team workings hard to reach out to young British holidaymakers and delighted with the close partnership between the Embassy and the local authorities, communities and businesses.
During the campaign in 2013, British Embassy Sofia saw a significant decrease in the number of reported serious consular cases:
The number of reported hospitalisations reduced by nearly 1/3 from 25 cases in 2012 to 14 in 2013
There was one balcony death in 2013 against three in 2012
The number of arrests of British tourists in 2013 dropped by four times in 2013 compared to 2012 – from nine to two cases
71% of the tourist surveyed in Sunny Beach in 2013 said that the campaign provided them with useful information during their holiday
Notes to editors
Bulgaria has a busy consular workload, with active summer and winter seasons. Over 300,000 British tourists come to Bulgaria in the summer and winter every year, as Sunny Beach is Bulgaria's most diverse and popular resort.
The Holiday Hangover campaign was successfully run in Greece and Cyprus in previous years. This inspired the Consular team at the British Embassy Sofia to also run the campaign in Sunny Beach.
The in-resort campaign is part of wider communications and engagement with stakeholders, on both national and local level, in Bulgaria and the UK, on consular services.
The Holiday Hangover campaign is largely related to the messages communicated in the FCO's Know Before You Go campaign. These are: check the foreign travel advice and the health risks, look at the travel checklist before planning a trip, get comprehensive travel insurance, research the destination, and check your passport is valid and you have the necessary visa.

For us, signing up a lease agreement is not just a moment, it's a part of the process. From the very beginning our dedicated team is listening to your needs and supporting you during all the phases of premises preparation, handover and post-delivery to provide maximum comfort at all stages.
The dynamic situation on the office property market made tenants considerably raise their expectations towards developers. Meeting their needs has become more of a challenge now. Therefore, Skanska Property Poland developed the Skanska Customer Care program and established the position of Regional Asset Coordinator, commonly referred to as RAC. RAC's job is to cooperate with tenants after they sign lease contracts and even after they move into new offices, supporting them to a much greater extent than it is common on the market.
What is a RAC responsible for at Skanska Property Poland?
RACs mainly support tenants after lease contracts are concluded, playing an important role in the process of preparation and handing over the office space to tenants. They liaise with the property manager and project manager, responsible for the construction work and fit-out of the office building. Together they make sure that the finishing work on tenants' office space is carried out according to previous arrangements. RAC fulfills the role of an intermediary between the tenant and other parties involved in the process. He or she also coordinates the introduction of modifications to final projects, which occurs quite frequently. The developer, taking a flexible approach and showing understanding to clients' needs, tries to incorporate the recommended changes as much as possible. RAC is also the person responsible for preparing all the documentation necessary in the handover process and takes an active part in it.

Air resistance
The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate air resistance on different types of objects. A feather and a ping pong ball respond to air resistance differently.
I tested the air resistance of ping pong balls and feathers by dropping them from a height of 5 feet 10 times each. As I tested the feathers I noticed that some feathers dropped faster than others because they were skinny and needed to be fanned out, and I noticed that some feathers others were already fat and fanned out. Of the feathers that I tested, most of them took about five seconds to drop. As for the ping pong ball, all the ones that I tested hit the floor at the exact same time of just under a second, and were shaped the same so that they would have the same amount of air resistance as each other.
A feather has more air resistance than a ping pong ball for the following reasons first, a feather is flat, its mass is spread out through the body of it which makes the air push it up more but the feather still falls slowly. A ping pong ball is round with its center of gravity in one place, and it has a very smooth and small surface, there for, when it is dropped the air will slide right off of the ball and not slow the ball down as much.

Libya to Lulworth
Herbert Weld never expected to inherit Lulworth Castle. When he did, he had to watch his inheritance go through many changes, including a disastrous fire. Alan J Miller tells his story.
Published in November '08
|Herbert Joseph Weld
On the afternoon of Thursday 29 August 1929, Herbert Joseph Weld sat in an armchair on the lawn in front of Lulworth Castle and watched as flames consumed the home which had been in his family since the 17th century. Early that morning, a fire had broken out in a linen room at the top of the north-east tower and rapidly spread. By 11 am the fire brigades of Dorchester, Weymouth, Swanage and Poole had arrived, but they could not contain the conflagration as the supply of water from a tank below the garden ran out and their efforts to bring sea water from the Cove failed. The Castle staff, estate workers, villagers, men from the local gunnery school, and even a troop of 36 Girl Guides who had been camping in the grounds, set about rescuing as many of the precious pictures, furniture and books from the state rooms as they could, but now nothing more could be done but watch as the floors collapsed and the flames roared through the interior.
Herbert Weld was then a man of 77 and as he sat there on that fateful day, he had never witnessed such a calamity during his long career as an explorer, archaeologist and big game hunter. In 1891, after an education at Stonyhurst (the Catholic school set up by the Welds in 1794) and Queen's College, Oxford, he had led an expedition to the ruins of Persepolis in Persia, and as late as 1922, he travelled to Iraq and obtained the concession to excavate the ancient Kish site at Tell Aheimar with a team from Oxford University, recovering thousands of inscribed tablets now in the Ashmolean Museum. During the Boer War he had signed up as special correspondent for the Morning Post and his dispatches were printed alongside those of Winston Churchill. His work was backed by a scholarly knowledge of ancient texts and languages and in recognition of his work he was granted the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature by the University.
|A photograph from 'a Daily Mirror aeroplane' of the fire at its height
As a young man, Herbert had not been in the direct line of succession to the Lulworth Estates. He was the son of Thomas Weld Blundell of Ince Blundell in Lancashire, second son of Joseph Weld of Lulworth who was given the Ince Bllundell estate when his father inherited it in 1837 and added the name Blundell. A series of unforeseen circumstances gradually brought Herbert closer to becoming the master of Lulworth: two Weld brothers, Reginald and Humphrey, successive life-tenants, suffered mental health problems and neither married to produce an heir, and their other brother, Shireburn, also a bachelor, had died in 1915; so ended the direct line and the succession reverted to Charles Weld Blundell, Herbert's elder brother. He had two sons but both died before him, Richard in 1916 and Louis in 1919, so by the latter date Herbert realised that on his brother's death, which came in 1927, he would become the heir to the Lulworth Estate – not an unqualified gift as they were burdened by death duties.
A lifelong bachelor, in 1923 he surprised everyone by marrying at the age of 71 the 23-year-old Theodora McLaren-Morrison of a Protestant family, who was rumoured to have had some acting experience and was certainly a lively character. In anticipation of their future role, Herbert and his young wife took up a lease on the Castle for 21 years from 25 March 1924 at £446 p.a. It had not been lived in by the Welds for some years, but Herbert dropped the name Blundell by deed poll that year and they settled there to make it their home. But in December 1928 the first of a succession of sad events occurred when Theodora suddenly fell ill and died from peritonitis on Christmas Eve.
With the deaths of the two bachelor life-tenants, Reginald in 1923 and his brother Humphrey in 1928, the trustees of the estate were faced with massive death duties. After Humphrey died, Herbert Weld was now life-tenant and he decided to sell two valuable books: the early 14th-century Luttrell Psalter and the 15th-century Bedford Book of Hours, both of which had been in the possession of the family since the 18th century but had been on loan to the British Museum.
So began a remarkable series of events which he had not predicted. The Museum's lawyers came up with a revelation that challenged his ownership of these books. The Lulworth estates had been settled by a Settlement of 1869 which entailed them on the male line by a life-tenancy which controlled the actual land, but by an old law the heirlooms, including furniture, pictures and books, went to the heir mentioned in the entail who first attained the age of 21. This, the lawyers maintained, would have been Richard Weld Blundell, Herbert's nephew. This young man, born in 1887, had thus reached his majority in 1908 but, as mentioned above, had died in 1916 at the age of 29. He had married only the year before Mary Angela, the eldest daughter of Captain Jasper Mayne of Gidleigh Park, Devon, but she had married secondly in 1927 Alfred Noyes, the poet, and they lived at Hanover Terrace in London and had a house on the Isle of Wight.
Until alerted by the Museum, Mrs Noyes had no knowledge of her first husband's right of inheritance but she then entered a claim to the heirlooms, including the two valuable books. The sale had to be cancelled three days before they came under the hammer and although Herbert Weld contested the claim through the High Court, he lost the case and the books were duly auctioned to the benefit of Mrs Noyes, the Psalter fetching £31,500 put up by an anonymous benefactor until the British Museum could raise this sum. She also laid claim to items of furniture and pictures which Herbert had to surrender, some of which were later bought back by the family.
After the fire, Herbert Weld made a statement which was printed in The Times on 14 August 1930 that the Castle would be re-built, but added that some years might elapse before the work could be carried out due to unjustified financial penalties imposed by successive governments on landed estates. He had in fact tried to install himself in the basement under the terrace, but the roof let in the rainwater and he stayed at first with Mrs Shipton at the Lodge at Bindon Abbey. This was too far from Lulworth, though, and later he leased a house called Achandra at West Lulworth from Lieutenant Colonel Clark.
Herbert Weld was by no means a flamboyant character but he felt that as lord of the manor he should maintain a certain lifestyle, yet as life-tenant he received only £500 a year from the estate. The estate accounts for the years 1930 to 1935 include a section called 'The Establishment', which financed what might be called his 'perks'. These included the cost of running a Rolls Royce, its petrol, licence, repairs and insurance and the wages of a chauffeur. It also covered his bill for wining and dining at the Cove Hotel and sundry expenses such as his newspapers.
One further thing dogged Herbert Weld's last years at Lulworth. As early as 1896, the War Office had its eye on parts of the Dorset heathland to use for military purposes. The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 elevated the area to a major training establishment and Bovington Camp appeared on the map. But the advent of the tank completely changed its purpose and in 1923 the estate was obliged under the threat of a compulsory purchase to sell 442 acres of Wool Heath for £2500. Next the War Office made an application to purchase 973 acres of the coastline between Lulworth Cove and Arish Mell as a permanent gunnery school.
The taking of part of the heathland was resented but acceptable, but the taking of this area of outstanding natural beauty was not and it roused a storm of protest not only from the Weld Estate but from further afield. But opposition was overruled in the face of government arguments of the national interest and Herbert Weld was reluctantly forced into granting a five-year lease back-dated to 1 September 1924. The lease included the stipulations that there was to be no firing on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays and that walkers would be given access to the paths up Bindon Hill when the range was not in use. Even when the initial lease was up in 1929, the War Office secured an extension and now hold a 99-year lease from 1937, which was recently re-negotiated and a new lease granted.
Herbert Weld never lived to see this as he died on 5 February 1935 after a very short illness and was buried in the chapel alongside the Castle. He would have been delighted to see the Castle restored with the help of English Heritage in the 1970s and the building of a new Weld family home, Lulworth Castle House, in 1977. His attitude to the changed role of the estate with its increased farming activity and its promotion as a tourist and holiday centre can only be surmised, but he would certainly not have been pleased with the booming of the guns on the now permanent ranges.

Quinta dos Roques lies in the heart of Portugal's historic Dão region, a semi-mountainous granite plateau, and is one of the region's most renowned estates. The Quinta dos Roques estate became focussed on grape growing in the 1970s, at a time when the laws in this region heavily restricted the commercialisation of any wine produced in the region.
Part of Portugal's permit of entry into the EU in 1986 meant getting rid of these outdated rules, and allowed single estates to not only grow their own grapes, but make the wine and take it to market. The 40 hectare Roques estate was at the forefront of this revival, and remains so today, owned and run by Luis Lourenco and his family.

Dr Flevy Lasrado, Assistant Professor at the University of Wollongong in Dubai (UOWD) recently represented the University at the 8th Annual Sustainable Development Congress Week which was held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Sharjah.
The five-day congress was packed with informative talks on sustainability with Dr Lasrado being invited to participate in a panel discussion on 'Challenges and Opportunities in Sustainable Development' along with four distinguished professors from across the UAE.
Sustainability is about lasting change with the main goal to ensure a future for all. Sustainability is about living in harmony with nature and to use the natural resources responsibility to ensure a life free from hunger and poverty.
The aim of this congress for participants is to expand their network with successful, supportive and well-connected leaders; to learn how technology, economy, society and the environment are shaping the future and to share their ideas for growth and expansion, to name a few.
The congress included topics such as sustainability in the UAE, industry commitments towards sustainable, social and environmental development, barriers and solutions on the uptake of energy and water efficiency in the private sector and sustainable strategies for energy.
Dr Lasrado also provided a key note speech on "Engaging employees in Green Behaviour "at the forum which was based on her research on Green Engagement - a project which had won a British Council grant earlier this year.
The congress was organised by the Alleem Corporation and chaired by the Founder and Executive Chairman of Alleem Investments and Director General Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA), Dr Rashid Alleem.

Geographic Information System:
Forest Service Not Ready to Acquire Nationwide System
IMTEC-90-31: Published: Jun 21, 1990. Publicly Released: Jun 21, 1990.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8984
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO assessed the Forest Service's plans to acquire a $1.2-billion computer-based geographic information system (GIS) for its field sites nationwide.
GAO found that the Service: (1) was not ready to procure GIS nationwide; (2) did not analyze a full range of alternatives or adequately analyze alternatives for integrating GIS into its operations; (3) made assumptions that limited the alternatives it considered, and did not analyze the organizational impact of the alternatives; (4) did not estimate the dollar value of specific benefits it expected to achieve from GIS; and (5) did not adequately define its information and system performance needs. GAO believes that there is an increased and unnecessary risk that GIS will not result in a cost-effective system.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Forest Service revised its feasibility and benefit/cost analyses with the assistance of MITRE Corp. and has satisfactorily addressed GAO concerns in these areas. In particular, the Service has: (1) assessed the feasibility of selective placement of GIS technology; and (2) shown that the cost of the acquisition is less than the cost it would incur to meet congressional and judicial mandates.
Recommendation: In order to reduce the risk that GIS may not satisfy mission needs, the Secretary of Agriculture should direct the Chief, Forest Service, to evaluate the feasibility, costs, benefits, and organizational impact of alternatives, including selective placement of GIS capabilities and associated analytical resources, to achieve mission-based objectives. The Service should demonstrate that the benefits of the selected alternative exceed projected costs.
Agency Affected: Department of Agriculture
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Forest Service has satisfactorily revised its functional requirements analysis to address GAO concerns about the lack of data and performance requirements. The Service also revised this analysis and its draft request for proposals to avoid specifying an unnecessarily restrictive technical solution to its needs.
Recommendation: In order to reduce the risk that GIS may not satisfy mission needs, the Secretary of Agriculture should direct the Chief, Forest Service, to develop a more comprehensive functional requirements analysis that includes sources, flow, timing, accuracy levels, validation, and performance requirements for processing a complete range of data that include planned as well as existing data sources.

The province of Punjab lies on the Western edge of India, up against Pakistan, and its people comprise the normal religious mix in India of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and other (including Christian) minorities. Punjab, though, is the heartland of the Sikh religion, whose holiest shrine is the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
Sikhs are famous as warriors, and certainly not prone to allowing their religion to be walked on. Remember that not long after she had sent Indian troops into the Golden Temple to break up an occupation there, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was murdered by her Sikh bodyguards. Not to be messed with, the Sikhs.
All of which is simply to point out that the concept of a "self-hating Sikh" is inconceivable, and therefore any Islamophobes tempted to put this heartening story of religious tolerance and co-operation down to "self-hating Sikhs" or "Hindus in name only" simply show how little they know about religion in India.

Talk:X mark
X Ballot: which is it?[edit]
An x mark ... used to indicate the concept of negation ... as well as affirmation (for example in election ballot papers or in x marks the spot).
As I understand it, in some of the recent contested elections (Coleman v Franken, Minn Senate seat, 2008, for example) there was NO consistency in how an X in a ballot box was re-counted: some as negation, some as affirmation, almost at whim of the individual doing the recount. Souldn't there be some consistency on this? Naaman Brown (talk) 13:36, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey all. So I'm thinking that it might be nice to have a post every once in a while that just lets me spout off everything that is flooding my brain. Maybe it will be a chance for you to get to know me a little bit, but it's more likely that you'll want to run screaming when you find out who I really am. Okay, maybe not. I'm not nearly exciting enough for you to have an adverse reaction. I might talk about what I've been doing, the new ice cream flavor I can't get enough of, my latest Target clearance steals or my crazy kidlets. It's just a time for me to talk.
To you.
Because, well, I like you. So here we go with my first installment of "Things".
1. I'm getting my hair cut on Friday. I've been growing it our since Thanksgiving which is a huge accomplishment for me. I'm kind of addicted to the feel of a fresh hair cut and having someone wash, dry and style my hair for me. When I went short last year (I know, I never updated my picture here) I had to go every month and a half to keep it up and I loved it! I'm not quite sure how I'll walk out of the salon this week though. Part of me wants to go all edgy and funky but the other part of me wants to stay low-key/maintenance. We'll see what kind of mood I'm in.
2. Who else is super excited that the new season of Arrested Development is coming out the end of this month? I'm loving the posters they came up with to promote it. If you're not familiar with the show, you should be. Or at least I think you should be. We happen to really love it, but it might not be for everybody. Or maybe it is. Who can say?
3. I'm headed to Disney World next week for a few days and I absolutely can't wait! It will be my first time there and I only have about 2 full days + 1 night to play. For those of you who have been, what are your absolute do/see/EATS. I probably don't have to explain why I emphasized the eat. I've already got Dole Whips and Waffle Sandwiches on my list. What else should be on there? Favorite restaurants?
4. Can I just say how happy I am that the whole "Harlem Shake" fad is dying out. H-A-P-P-Y. Happy. I never got it and never will.
5. Who went and saw Iron Man this last weekend? I haven't gone yet but I'm pretty sure I'll be more in love Robert Downey Jr. than ever based on the trailers. I'm glad my hubby agrees that RDJ is a sexy beast, our date night might be a little awkward if he didn't have a little man crush himself. I love him.
See you tomorrow with a new recipe!

The following procedure is intended for front wheel drive vehicles only. The front wheel bearings of all vehicles along with the rear wheel bearings on All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles are sealed units which do not require periodic removal, inspection and relubrication. For replacement procedures of all other wheel bearings, please refer to Suspension & Steering of this guide.
The rear wheel bearings on all front wheel drive vehicles should be inspected and relubricated a minimum of every 22,000 miles (although it is probably a good idea to check them anytime the rear brake drum is removed). Vehicles used in any form of severe service should be checked and repacked more frequently, as-often-as every 9000 miles.
See Figure 1
Sodium-based grease is not compatible with lithium-based grease. Read the package labels and be careful not to mix the two types. If there is any doubt as to the type of grease used, completely clean the old grease from the bearing and hub before replacing.
Before handling the bearings, there are a few things that you should remember to do and not to do.Remember to DO the following:
Do NOT do the following:
The rear wheel bearings should be inspected and relubricated whenever the rear brakes are serviced or at least every 30,000 miles. Repack the bearings with high temperature multi-purpose grease.
Check the lubricant to see if it is contaminated. If it contains dirt or has a milky appearance indicating the presence of water, the bearings should be cleaned and repacked.
Clean the bearings in kerosene, mineral spirits or other suitable cleaning fluid. Do not dry them by spinning the bearings. Allow them to air dry.
- Raise and support the vehicle with the rear wheels off the floor.
- Remove the wheel grease cap, cotter pin, nut-lock and bearing adjusting nut.
- Remove the thrust washer and bearing.
- Remove the drum from the spindle.
- Thoroughly clean the old lubricant from the bearings and hub cavity. Inspect the bearing rollers for pitting or other signs of wear. Light discoloration is normal.
- Repack the bearings with high temperature multi-purpose EP grease and add a small amount of new grease to the hub cavity. Be sure to force the lubricant between all rollers in the bearing.
- Install the drum on the spindle after coating the polished spindle surfaces with wheel bearing lubricant.
- Install the outer bearing cone, thrust washer and adjusting nut.
- Tighten the adjusting nut to 20-25 ft. lbs. (27-35 Nm) while rotating the wheel.
- Back off the adjusting nut to completely release the preload from the bearing.
- Tighten the adjusting nut finger-tight.
- Position the nut-lock with one pair of slots in line with the cotter pin hole. Install the cotter pin.
- Clean and install the grease cap and wheel.
- Lower the vehicle.

Truss urged to give time frame for Bruce Highway fix
The re-elected Member for Wide Bay, Warren Truss, will not commit to a time frame for works on a dangerous section of the Bruce Highway in his southern Queensland electorate.
Mr Truss says the Coalition will pledge $2 billion to the Wide Bay section as part of its Bruce Highway 10-year plan.
He says the work is continuing.
"We will look at the plan immediately and we will continue the work of 'four-laning' the Bruce Highway," he said.
"When one project [is complete] we will move onto the next and the other projects are all indicated in our policy of when that time frame will apply."
However, Gympie Mayor Ron Dyne says funding the Wide Bay section of the Bruce Highway should be a priority.
"We need now is to make sure we do get that commitment in dollars and cents," he said.
"I know that it costs billions and it's easy to roll off the tongue nowadays billions of dollars, but to make this road functional it will also give us a better start as far as the economy is concerned."
Flood proofing region a priority
Meanwhile, the LNPs Member-elect for the seat of Hinkler, Keith Pitt, says making the region more flood resilient will be a Coalition government priority.
Mr Pitt has claimed the seat with 58 per cent of the vote after preferences.
However, he admits flood proofing the region could take some time.
"We need to look at what the results are from council's review," he said.
"Once they start to give us some options for mitigation and that'll be time for us to go up to the Federal Government and say these are the proposed options and it will be time to get the gloves off."
Palmer United Party candidate Rob Messenger is refusing to concede defeat, saying he wants a full preferential recount of votes.

I have not hung the screech owl house up yet. I guess I will just forget about it for this year. I am sure having the GH Owls living in the same area is not going to appeal to a Screech Owl. Next year maybe. For now I am thrilled to have the GH Owls back in the tree making a new family!

I soooo love this chart! Stitching the shade of her skin and muscles are so enjoyable. There is a couple of stitches between her breasts that I am not satisfied with though. I have double-checked if I have chosen the wrong colour but nope, the patterns is like that. I might try to change that if it keeps bugging me.
I also had an accident with the fabric. I dropped the scissors and it went right THROUGH the fabric! I wanted to cry.. I saw that it was only one or two threads in the fabric that broke, so I hurried and fedged some fabric glue and added some at the tear. I then used the patch method I have heard/learnd from fellow stitchers. Adding som pictures on a new page for anyone to see how I did. I hope it'll hold!
Here is my Soft and Steel progress!

What's going on Netflix lovers? As we know that Netflix lets you watch your favorite television series and motion pictures. Well, around ten days left and Netflix has revealed the list of all new titles airing on Netflix this March, so if you haven't downloaded this streaming service then do it today so you can also enjoy the titles of March. As we know Netflix released many latest trailers of new motion pictures and series, first Netflix is going to release its German supernatural series called 'Dark' but you have to wait long for this series because the series will knock the door of Netflix this winter till then you can enjoy the rest of shows and movies on this amazing platform.
Well, if you're a fan of Japanese content then you will be glad to know that Netflix Japan has premiered a teaser for the upcoming anime adaptation of 'Devilman', the classic manga series by Go Nagai. Masaaki Yuasa is the director (Mind Game, Ping Pong), 'Devilman Crybaby' will air globally in spring 2018. Fans need to wait for this series, we mean a long wait. Well, that's good and surprising that this well-liked streaming company has released many teasers, some of them are releasing this year whereas some are going to premiere in 2018.
The story of this series focuses on shy teenager Akira Fudo, who's asked for succor by his best companion Ryo Asuka after his father demies after revealing a mask during the excavation of the ruins of an ancient Mayan temple. It turns out the mask is actually a petrified demon skull that permits her wearer to see what the Earth was like thousands of years ago when demons reigned. To avert them from growing again to reclaim the planet, Akira combines with a demon to become Devilman, retaining the heart of human while benefiting the power of a demon Geruma and the turtle-like demon Jinmen.
Well, story line is really good to let's see how people react on this and yes people's reaction reminds us of Iron Fist. Well, this is the first series of Netflix which got the title of worst Marvel series, people say that poor writing is the main reason of its flop. No comment on this series, all awe can say is that whether it is Netflix or Marvel it doesn't mean these well-liked names will always give you hit or amazing content but doesn't matter it's just one failure.
Alright, if you haven't activated this amazing streaming service then you need to activate it now. You can also get in touch with professional if you want any Netflix help or assistance. Serialized from 1972 to 1973 in 'Weekly Shonen Magazine' of Kodansha, 'Devilman' was adopted concurrently by Toei as a thirty-nine anime series. The manga and anime have motivated various spinoffs, adaptations, and crossovers, counting 2004 live-action film. Stay tuned for Netflix Original Series, 'Devilman', will debut in 2018.


text: Politics 12 November 2001 Why I found myself in sympathy with Duncan Smith Sign up for our weekly email * David Blunkett has proved to be quite unlike his predecessor at the Home Office, who lost all traces of liberalism. Marijuana, as far as Jack Straw was concerned, was a vile herb; its consumption would lead to harder drugs. This argument was disproved about 35 years ago. Enter Blunkett, wading through fields of the dreaded weed and bringing some sanity to discussions about its use. It was in Brixton and Ladbroke Grove (west London) that weed first commonly appeared in this country, through migrant Jamaicans. I had never known it in Trinidad, but deep in rural Jamaica I met Miss Winnie, aged 75, who lived in a house on a hill and kept a pot of weed constantly on the boil. By the time I got to London, I could stretch "a ten-bob draw" over a long weekend. Smoking weed was and is a harmless and well-worn practice. Yet even now, the Home Office behaves as though it were dealing with dynamite. We are told that, if one is caught with the herb, the police will warn the possessor, confiscate the substance and take it to the station to be destroyed. That is largely poppycock, because the police rarely bother to stop anyone these days. "Legalise it," sang Peter Tosh, the Stepping Razor, a member of Bob Marley's original group, and I agree. Any compromise merely adds mischief to an already confused situation. However, we must congratulate Blunkett for his leap forward. He is also grappling with the question of citizenship. I am a British citizen. I got my certificate after the Thatcher grand declaration of 1988 that those of us who had been here for more than ten years were free to apply, on payment of a large fee. The application form required me to state where I had been and what I had done while I was in this country. I couldn't say exactly, so I wrote: "Consult the Special Branch, they should know." They took my advice and sent me my certificate of citizenship. I translated that into a British passport much later. What puzzles me is the idea of giving migrants lessons in citizenship. I am certain that I could have given British-born whites such lessons. But I suppose asylum-seekers from outside the former British empire might need them. Still, I never thought that I would agree with Iain Duncan Smith on anything. Yet when, during Muslim Awareness Week, he refused to sign the statements about how much Muslims have contributed to this society, I concurred. I agree that Muslims have contributed to British life, but it is a two-way street - Britain has contributed much to Asian migrants, and some appreciation is in order. We have to stand up against faith schools, against forced marriages, against any liberal spinelessness that allows anyone to undermine the secular in public life. There should be no sharia law here.

The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
As a matter of fact Los Alamos National Laboratory recently decided to build its new Linux cluster for the advanced simulation and computing (ASCI) program using AMD Opteron processors. More information about this can be found here: http://www.lanl.gov/orgs/pa/newsbull...5/text02.shtml
If you are not familiar with what the AMD64 platform is, then please have a look at this: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...8_9331,00.html
Boxx Technologies (http://www.boxxtech.com) have already started shipping high-end AMD Opteron workstations, but several other manufacturers also offer similar and more reasonable solutions and they can be located on this page: http://www2.amd.com/us-en/sbl/front/...l?redir=CPOP07
Windows 64-bit for AMD64 is available as a beta version for developers today, but several Linux 64-bit versions (SuSE, Turbo Linux, etc) and compilers (see below) already exist with full AMD64 support. All current 32-bit x86 versions of Windows and Linux will ofcourse work perfectly with AMD64, but then without the benefits of the 64-bit processor architecture.
I've collected some links to pages about AMD64 that I hope you all will find interesting:
Some developer information for AMD64: http://developer.amd.com & http://www.devx.com/amd/Door/16009 & http://www.amd64.org & http://www.migratec.com
Some compilers for AMD64: http://www.pgroup.com/AMD64 & http://www.absoft.com/opteron.html & http://www.nag.co.uk/nagware/np/NP_trial.asp
Some benchmarks of the AMD Opteron processor: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...-opteron2.html & http://www.caselab.okstate.edu/research/benchmark.html
Some AMD64 technology in-depth reviews: http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=55000251 & http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...ily/index.html
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
Actually, a decent Pentium 4 beats it to the ground. In the future I would be grateful if you could please post the propaganda into the "Announcements" section.
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
That's ridiculus, please document this if you can :)
All benchmarks I've read so far (mostly 32-bit unfortunately) the AMD Opteron cpu have a good performance lead over the fastest available P4/Xeon cpu's, just have a look here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...6_8800,00.html
The Opteron cpu also scales much better in SMP systems compared to P4/Xeon, just read this: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...6_8799,00.html
Here are some other benchmarks as well: http://www.caselab.okstate.edu/research/benchmark.html & http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/...-opteron2.html & http://www.ensight.com/products/performance76.html & http://www.amdzone.com/articleview.cfm?ArticleID=1328
As you can see, the AMD Opteron cpu performs very well also in 32-bit. 64-bit mode should give it a performance boost because of the increased number of registers available and the higher memory bandwidth.
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
One of the issues of more interest is : will the 64-bit processor be able to handle more RAM on a PC, than the current 2GB limit?, which currently limits how big models can be run on a PC, say in fluent...
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
Well, that's just the thing! It does not matter how AMD64 performs against a Pentium (well, it does, but only a bit :)) What we all want from it is the possibility of addressing more RAM and running big applications. However, that depends on the operating system, compilers and tons of other things... I'd like to hear from anyone who's running 64-bit Linux and using gcc (C++). Any data is welcome, from "don't bother" to "it's great!".
Any takers?
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
On Windows XP 64bit edition, applications can address up to 1 terabyte of memory (the whole system can use 256TB totally). 64bit Linux, as far as I know, allows even more memory for applications.
The nice thing is that this works out of the box. Just recompiling an application to 64bit mode and you can use more memory immediately. It isn't as kludgy as the paged addressing of the Xeon (which has pages of 4GB)
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
I presume you are some sort of salesman? and I feel compelled to provide some sort of balance like Hrvoje
* today, a cluster built of 2.4GHz Pentium 4 is a signficantly better option in terms of price/performance unless your algorithms force you to use expensive interconnects rather then gigabit ethernet (most CFD that needs largish clusters do not).
* the environment (OS support and compilers) for the Opteron is flaky at the moment. This will of course improve with time but if you need the cluster to do work today it is important because fixing it is largely outside a users control.
* the dual/quad/oct motherboards for the Opteron are what we need for CFD (if your OS can drive them properly and most cannot today) and can give a linear increase of speed with numbers of processors. Dual Xeons are a waste of time/money in this respect so use single P4 nodes.
* 64 bit hype seems to have a lot in common with the millenium bug hype. The microprocessors in most unix workstations have been 64 bit for many years (the 7 year old Sun I have recently end-of-lifed has a 64 bit microprocessor) and it had little impact on performance. What matters most to big CFD simulations is memory handling.
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
If you look at the floating point part of the CPU2000 benchmarks at www.spec.org, the Itanium-2 blows away everything else in sheer performance per processor. On a performance per unit price basis, the Itanium-2 is currently not as competitive as a Pentium 4. Also, most applications have not yet been ported to Itanium-2. I don't know how it compares to an Opteron. Thank goodness for the competition between Intel and AMD, though. It gives us consumers better CPUs at a lower price.
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
Right, but I'm awaiting more third-party benchmarks, such as CFD codes and the like. I'm a tad sceptical to spec-tests, as they are often tweaked, and bear little resemblance to real-world performance.
Time will, as always, tell.
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
I like the Itanium, because of the large amount of registers, expilictly parallel instruction set, and 64 addressing. Because of EPIC, the Itanium also handles nearly ordered data much better (1,2,3,5,4,6,7,11, etc...)
Even on clusters, I have run in to addressing problems. If you have any gather scatter operations, your master node can address (but not use) a huge amount of memory. 64 bit address makes these problems go away. I have seen the problem on 32 bit IBM SP's, and Linux Clusters.
I wish Intel would lower the price on the Itanium!
Re: The AMD64 platform is perfect for CFD!
The main difference between these platforms is that AMD took the x86 architecture and extended it to 64-bits to make the AMD64 architecture, supporting both x86-32 and x86-64 code at full speed & performance. You can read more about this here: http://www.devx.com/amd/Article/16101
The Opteron processor have 64-bit registers and address space as well, but also offers higher front side bus, I/O & memory bandwidth than Intels processors. A comparison of Opteron and Itanium2 based workstations can be found here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...omparisons.pdf
If you're interested in clusters, you should definately also have a look at AMD's presentation at ClusterWorld 2003: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...dpresFINAL.pdf
Today, a cluster built of Opteron processors is a signficantly better option in terms of price/performance.

Elemental - Alchemy Puzzle
by: MP Force • 23.7K
All Android applications categories
by: MP Force • 23.7K
Published: 2012-11-05, by Manu Galvez.
Elemental merges two genres: sudoku and alchemy. Your goal is to complete the board without repeating pieces in the same line nor in the same column. However, not all the pieces on the board are "elements", they're also combination of them. Thus, besides water, air, fire and water, you'll have to complete the board with steam, ice, mud, lightning and many other combination of elements.
There are two different game modes: "Normal" (play button) which is the campaign mode. You will have to complete different puzzle through 8 Worlds (ninth is coming soon). In "Survival mode", you'll have to complete puzzle of 4 or 5 elements in less than a minute (countdown).
The game is set in cool cartoonished graphics. Controls are intuitive: just drag the element from the bottom to the tile where you want to place it on the board. If you tap on an tile, it shows a description of the element and (this gives it a touch) a quote related.
It's original gameplay has really surprised us. The game has been well developed regarding concept, scenery and controls. High recommendable.

Did You Know?
In Greek and Latin, a stigma was a mark or brand, especially one that marked a slave, so a stigma marked a person as inferior. When the plural form stigmata is used, it usually refers to the nail wounds on Christ's hands and feet, wounds which have sometimes reappeared on the hands or feet of later worshippers such as St. Francis. When stigma began to be used in English, it usually meant the kind of mark or stain you can't actually see. So today we hear about the stigma of homelessness, the stigma of overweight, and the stigma of mental illness. People may be so afraid of being stigmatized for losing a job that they'll put on their office clothes and drive out their driveways every weekday morning so that the neighbors won't know.

I am trying to disable the visual effects in windows xp such as the animations and shadows, while leaving the tasks and xp theme. I have done some research and found two possibilities. one is a startup or logon script, the other is a fairly extensive registry modification to get all the settings done correctly. Does anyone have any experience using either of these methods?
Apr 18, 2011 at 2:03 UTC
I've just been turned onto this tool and think it might worth a look in this case.
8 Replies
Apr 18, 2011 at 1:58 UTC
You can do this by setting XP to adjust for best performance, in the Performance Options window, then checking "Use visual styles on windows and buttons".
Apr 18, 2011 at 2:03 UTC
I've just been turned onto this tool and think it might worth a look in this case.
Apr 18, 2011 at 2:34 UTC
Correct: however that is a per user setting. It only effects the user logged on to that computer when the setting is changed.
That looks like it will do exactly what i need it to. I will give it a shot tomorrow or Wednesday and report back. I sense a logon script in my future :D
Apr 18, 2011 at 4:24 UTC
Another option using GPO: In your domain global policy, go to User Configuration>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Display>Desktop Themes and Enable "Prevent selection of windows buttons and styles". There are other options there and within the Administrative Templates area to adjust user settings. For instance, you can force a specific theme.
Apr 19, 2011 at 4:27 UTC
out of interest is it really neccessary to do this? never really noticed them in xp anyway
Apr 19, 2011 at 1:37 UTC
On medium hardware, it can provide a drastic increase in response times for opening windows, I find.
I should have probably read the part where you said "globally".
Apr 19, 2011 at 5:34 UTC
I found that setting, but I am not terribly familiar with themes in XP. Is there a way that i could create these settings into a theme to be pushed out? How large are those files?
I have found, as Thomas33 said, on older and/or cheaper hardware there can be a large increase in performance. Especially when using a remote support software. Rather than trying to transfer all the fades and everything, the window 'just appears'.
Apr 19, 2011 at 5:44 UTC
It depends on what settings you apply. Theme files can be found in the %SystemRoot%\Resources folder. You could create the theme and then distribute it via a login script (GP) or whatever mechanism you have available to you.
See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310514
You'd then select and enforce the theme via GPO.

How are we doing?
Median Household Income (2015)
In 2015 median household income was $46,162 for the Tucson Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), 14.3% lower than the nation and 8.1% below the state of Arizona. When compared to the 12 western MSAs, Tucson ranked near the bottom, above only El Paso, which had a median household income of $41,578. Denver, at $65,614, had the highest median household income of the 12 MSAs—42.1% higher than Tucson. Overall, Tucson has displayed an upward trend in median household income since 2000. This upward trend reflects a 25.6% increase in the inflation-adjusted median household income between 2000 and 2015.
Why is it important?
Median household income is one measure, among many, that gauges the economic well-being of a region. Median household income provides information about the financial resources available to households. Higher household incomes are commonly associated with a greater means of acquiring goods and services. Household income is closely tied to employment levels, educational attainment, and regional economic opportunities.
How do we compare?
The median household income in 2015 for the Hispanic population of the Tucson MSA was $36,745, 13.8% lower than the Hispanic population nationally. All races and ethnicities in Tucson fall short of the national median household income level, with the exception of African Americans. In 2015, there was a substantial gap between the median income for Hispanic households and white, non-Hispanic households within Tucson, with a difference of just over $15,400.
The population aged 65 and older does relatively well in the Tucson MSA compared to the nation. The median household income for the 65 and older age group in Tucson was $41,007, 5.9% higher than the nation at $38,726. In contrast, the 45–64 and 25–44 age groups fare better within the state of Arizona and nationwide when compared to Tucson. The median household income for the 45–64 age group in Tucson was $56,124, whereas the nation was $65,399 in 2015, more than an $9,200 difference. Likewise, the 25–44 age group earned $10,000 dollars less in Tucson when compared to the U.S.
When comparing the median income for families with children under the age of 18 in the Tucson MSA, married-couple families had the highest at $71,998. Male-headed families and female-headed families with no spouse present had median incomes of $35,633 and $23,659, respectively. In Tucson, male-headed families with no spouse present earned 50.6% more than female-headed families with no spouse present. This was slightly less than the difference for the U.S. (56.1%), but higher than Arizona (42.3%). Married-couple families often have a substantially higher median income than male- or female-headed households with no spouse present, due to the possibility of dual wage earners.
What are the key trends?
Inflation-adjusted median household income in the Tucson MSA has followed an upward trend since 2000, peaking in 2008 at $46,599. During the Great Recession, Tucson posted a considerable decrease of 7.4%. Median household income has slowly rebounded since the Great Recession with an average growth rate of 1.5% per year. The nation also posted a decrease in median household income during the Great Recession but to a much lesser extent than Tucson or Arizona. By 2013, the U.S. had fully recovered to the pre-recession median household income level.
How is it measured?
Household income includes the sum of income earned by individuals 15 years and older living in a household during the calendar year, whether they are related to the head of the householder or not. A person living alone is also counted as a household. Income includes wages and salaries, transfer payments, child support, rental receipts, dividends, and interest, as well as other kinds of income routinely received. Median household income has been adjusted for inflation. Median refers to the midpoint of the income distribution, with half the number of households receiving income above the midpoint and half receiving income below. It is important to note that a household often includes more than one income earner. Median Household Income data is from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is a nationwide rolling-sample survey that produces one and five-year estimates on demographic, social, housing, and economic measures. Data provided in this analysis utilized five-year estimates.

Letter to the editor: People have lost the meaning of Christmas
By Pearl Silzy, Jamestown
Somehow, some time ago, we lost the meaning of Christmas. Whatever happened to the anticipation and good feelings of the season?
We would sing carols and visit with friends and neighbors — feeling like it was the best time of the year! The snow sparkled like diamonds on a frozen ground. The stars seemed extra bright on a clear night. Then daring to go out and carol with friends (freezing our noses and tonsils in the icy air), we were welcomed by neighbors with hot cocoa and warm greetings!
Then, on Christmas Eve, we remembered the real reason for Christmas — the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He came to save us from this world of problems and hopelessness.
Now there are decorations and displays of Christmas in stores in October already! The worry of what to buy for everyone is on our list. People end up being sick by Christmas because of the hectic stress and preparation. That is the Christmas season of today's world.
Oh yes. We had our visits from Santa Claus! I remember (forever) how terrified I was of Santa Claus' visit when I was a child. I had to sing "Away in the Manger" or Santa Claus wouldn't stop at my home. Not a sound came out of my throat as I tried to sing! Santa came anyway (maybe feeling sorry for me).
We must remember the real reason for Christmas. As Jesus said, "Love one another as I have loved you."

One flick we're keeping a really close eye on at next year's Sundance Film Festival is Michael Tully's Septien, and according to the early buzz it looks poised to be one of the sleeper hits of the whole event. Of course we've got your stills right here! Dig 'em!
Septien follows what happens when a reclusive sports hustler returns home to his family farm after years of absence to reunite with his two eccentric, unhinged and emotionally damaged brothers. Yep, could very well be one hell of a psycho kind of family reunion. Lord knows we all have them and secretly wish that they could end in bloodshed.
Look for more on this one very soon. In the interim dig on the first ever stills below.
