text: Does anyone want to help port Android to the ASUS t91mt? I found a site that is working on x86 versions of Android. I was able to boot Android on my t91mt, but couldn't get the touchscreen to work and it was sluggish in places. If anyone around here has any experience with this sort of thing, please post here. I have very little knowledge of porting OS's, so I won't be much help. But I would be willing to test anything someone comes up with. The site is: Android-x86 Project - Run Android on Your PC (Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86 ). They have a lot of resources, so I don't think this project will be too hard, mostly it will be getting drivers to work.

It had seemed like a good idea at the time, anyway. In hindsight, it was a really stupid idea.
"I told you so," Edward murmured softly as he brushed his fingers carefully across my cheek to soothe the burn. I sighed in contentment; his icy hands really did make me feel better. Even though I was perhaps the most badly damaged from the event, I had the best First Aid. Everyone else was at home nursing their wounds with some Aloe Vera at best.
"I didn't think it would be this bad," I protested. Edward just shook his head as he moved his cool hand down to my collar bone, alleviating the pain there.
"Bella, did you really think you could go spend a day in the sunshine down by the beach – complete sunshine, mind you, not some of this half-overcast stuff we have – and not get burned at all?" I whimpered softly in response.
"But I put sunscreen on…"
"How often?"
"Just at the beginning," I explained. Edward sighed, exasperated.
"I knew this would happen," he murmured softly.
"He absolutely went crazy, you know," Alice said cheerfully from the doorway, eyeing my position on the sofa, Edward kneeling next to me. "He was pacing, and cursing – it didn't help I kept getting visions of you burning – and he couldn't do anything about it. One of the few completely sunny days in Forks, and as such, we were cooped up inside."
"Though there was that brief period of time where the cloud passed over. I took that opportunity to be ready to run into the store and grab some things for you, since Alice was able to warn me about it in advance. We don't really have much use for Aloe Vera, you know. Everything I had was at the hospital," Carlisle said soothingly as he glided into the room. He handed the bottle of green gel to Edward, and then appraised my burns. "Would you like some Advil? It would help with the burns," he suggested helpfully.
"Yes please, I would-oh!" Edward had started applying the greenish gel to my burns, causing a freezing shiver to rock through my body. It was, in part, due to the coolness of the gel in response to my overly sensitive and over-heated skin, and in part due to his cold hands.
"Sorry," he murmured shamefully.
"No, no, it feels wonderful, it just surprised me…" I trailed off as he continued to rub the Aloe in.
Carlisle had returned with the pain medicine and a glass of water. Gratefully, I took them both and thanked him as he settled into a chair, assessing that Edward had the situation under control.
Edward paused and glanced over to Alice who had her head cocked to the side.
"Good idea," he said, nodding. He turned to me, then and spoke, "Alice is going to help you into a cool bath, okay?"
"Why do I need help? My legs aren't broken," I murmured dryly. Edward just stared at me long and hard for a moment before shaking his head.
"That's not funny." He turned his head sideways for a moment, listening. Without explanation, he looked back to me. "And when you're finished, Alice is going to help you put Aloe all over your body, okay? Because you're burned… nearly everywhere." I sighed; it was true. The two-piece that Alice had purchased for me hadn't left much protected from the sun's rays.
"Alright, alright," I assented, slowly sitting upright. Edward's worried eyes watched me closely as I stood up stiffly and looked at Alice. Edward stood up with me, his hands following my every move like I were made of glass.
"Don't worry," I muttered. "I'm not going to turn to ash or anything, I'm fine now, it won't get any worse than this." Edward just chuckled in response as I walked toward the bathroom, Alice following behind me with a very soft-looking towel.
As we entered the bathroom, Alice flipped on the lights and shut the door, staring at me expectantly.
"Going to watch me get naked, as well?" I asked. It was a good thing I was sunburned; I was starting to blush already. Alice shrugged nonchalantly.
"How about I wait outside, and if you need anything, I'll pop in about five seconds before you realize it, okay?" I grimaced, but nodded. It was the best deal I was going to get out of this.
Alice slipped outside, tugging the door closed behind her.
I peeled off the large shirt Edward had given me before shucking off the enormous pajama bottoms that belonged to Emmett. Why Emmett had pajama bottoms, I could only wonder. I started up the water, and let the steam fill the bathroom.
"Too hot, Bella! That's going to hurt your burns," Alice called from the other side of the door. I rolled my eyes and turned the cold water on more.
Very carefully I untied the halter top portion of the bikini, careful not to agitate the bright red marks outlining it. Setting it aside, I stepped out of the bottom with the same care.
Hesitantly, I tested the water. The cool water felt very comforting, and I stepped into the bathtub completely. Sitting down, I submerged myself in the large porcelain tub. After shutting off the water, I bobbed in the tub for a little bit, letting the cool water work wonders against the burns.
In hindsight, I should've known I would burn badly. I always had in Phoenix. When I was little, Renee would – occasionally – remember to put sunscreen on me before taking me to a park. It was my nature to burn.
When Mike had noticed that the weather was going to be perfectly sunny this weekend, he had excitedly set up a beach trip that Friday. On such short notice, only Angela, myself, Ben, Tyler, and a couple of other girls from one of Mike's classes could agree to go. It had been a nice little outing; several if Mike's friends and people I knew casually had been there. Most of them had forgiven me by now for my zombie phase. Jess had been invited, but she had turned down the invitation when she realized I was going. There had been soda, hot dogs, hamburgers, icecream and all sorts of snacks to eat.
I had spent most of my time lying in the sand, watching everyone else run up and down the beach. It had looked far too dangerous to allow myself to join in. Then Mike had set up the volleyball net.
Somehow, Angela convinced me to join. I was no better at beach volleyball than I had been at regular volleyball in gym class. Angela had showed me a clever – and relatively easy – way to set a ball for a spike. I had only jammed my fingers four times, much to my amazement. Angela had been remarkably good at spiking the shots I had managed to set, her tallness lending to her ability. I'd never performed so well in a sport before. I seemed to be even better at the volleyball – at least the setting part of it; I hadn't fared quite as well in the other aspects of the game – than I was at walking.
I ducked my head under the bathwater, letting my hair get completely damp. Surfacing, I spit out a bit of water. Resting back against the edge of the large tub, I was surprised to find out that my legs could stretch out completely in the bath tub. I smiled softly, my body floating. Vampires didn't need to worry about sunburns. Or jammed fingers. Or those sharp seashells. I swore I had stepped on about a dozen.
I raised my toes above the surface of the water. The pink nail polish that Alice had painted on last weekend glittered back at me under the lighting of the bathroom. Leaning forward, I took my foot in my hands and ran my fingertips over the sole. It didn't feel so bad, nor did it hurt anymore.
Lazily, I took some shampoo and massaged it through my hair. After dipping underwater to rinse if off, I gently lathered soap over my body with my hands instead of a poof – my skin was too sensitive for a poof. After rinsing, I carefully stood up.
The door banged open and Alice ran in. I yelped in surprise, grabbing the towel and wrapping it around me. In the process I lost my balance and pitched forward.
Alice's stone hands closed around my arms as she caught me.
"I wouldn't have fallen if you hadn't barged in," I muttered as she set me on my feet.
"Actually, you would've. You would have stepped on the tile and slipped, falling backward and smacking your head on the tub. At least this way I could catch you," she explained. I sighed. Alice giggled softly as she released me and stepped back. "Now, let's put some Aloe on you."
"Must you?" I grumbled. I really didn't feel like stripping down naked. Again. Or having Alice's cold hands on my body.
"Edward could always do it," she suggested helpfully.
"Or I could do it myself. Later," I added. Alice glared at me, and I could only stare back.
"Oh, all right. Let's find you some comfortable clothes. Edward's anxious to see if you're any better," she suggested. I obliged her this time and waited in the bathroom while she excused herself to find something for me to put on.
I studied my reflection in the mirror. My normally pale skin was now riddled with patterns of bright red splotches over a soft pink hue. I grimaced. It was going to hurt for a while.
Alice returned within minutes, and offered me a clean set of my undergarments. She also laid a long-sleeved cotton shirt and a pair of soft, draw-string pants across the counter, then stepped back out to give me my privacy.
Carefully, I crawled into the garments. Much to my surprise, I discovered they were quite comfortable against the agitated skin. I smiled and leaned down, taking a deep breath. The shirt smelled like Edward.
Bare-toed, I opened the door and walked out into the hallway, carrying my swimsuit and other set of clothing. Alice quickly swooped in and took them from my arms before steering me in the direction of Edward. He was at my side in a moment.
"How are you? Does it hurt?" He started to wrap his arms around me, but then paused and seemed to search for a place he could place his hands and not hurt my skin.
"It's alright. It's better." I wrapped my arms around his hard body and snuggled against his chest. Carefully, more so than usual, he placed his arms around me and kissed my forehead.
"I just don't know what to do with you… I've never had to deal with this sort of thing," he fumbled, trying to explain. I just laughed softly.
"Of course you didn't," I said. "But that's okay," I added quickly as I saw the humor in his eyes falter slightly. I hadn't meant to hurt his feelings. "We can learn together."
His cold lips pressed lightly against my forehead and he pulled me closer against his body. The cold from his skin was soothing against my burns, sublimating the aches away. His breath was intoxicating as it brushed over my face, lulling me into a state of painless haze.
I heard a murmur of voices behind me, and I felt Edward's chest vibrate with a chuckle.
"No, Carlisle, I don't think Bella needs anymore Advil; she seems to have the best medicine already," Alice said. I heard Carlisle reply, but I couldn't make out what he said – Edward's lips had found my own.
Instantly, my body was filled with butterflies, and I could vaguely remember that I had ever been sunburned. All I was consciously aware of were Edward's kisses, and his feather-light fingers on my sides. Best medicine, indeed.
Author's Chapter Notes:
So... there was this period in which I was concerned I wouldn't have the creative drive to write again... and I'm realizing that it must go in waves. I kicked out this and Year and a Half in a one week period, and I have a third finished already and in editing mode and a fourth still being written. I'm writing again, guys. I'm pleased with it, anyway.
I know the Bella-Burned thing has probably been done before, but I've never found one and decided to give it a shot.

Allahabad, April 15: Leo was the ascendant in the eastern horizon signifying Simha lagna. Simha or Leo, the sign of stability in Indian astrology, is ruled by the Sun, which was positioned in the ninth house, indicating good fortune. Mars, which rules the house of luck, was also well positioned. The lord of the fifth house the house of speculation Jupiter, as well as Saturn and Rahu were also benignly placed. It was 2.14 pm on Thursday.
At this astrologically propitious moment, Murli Manohar Joshi, Union minister of education, science and technology in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, filed his nomination for the Allahabad parliamentary seat. He had earlier gone and prayed at a temple and then met supporters at his residence.
A visibly relaxed Joshi sat on a flat bed, dressed in starched white kurta and a dhoti with a bright red and gold border. In front of him was a large statue of Krishna playing the flute, two idols of Lord Ganesh and a brass image of Radha and Krishna under a tree laden with fruits. To his right was a terracotta wall mural showing all the 12 signs of the zodiac. Joshi wore two large rings and his right wrist was swathed in red and yellow moli thread tied for protection against evil.
He answered phone calls from well wishers, shifting from Hindi to Urdu to Sanskrit. Swami Rambhadracharya called him from Chitrakoot. Pranamami aham (I bow before you), Joshi greeted him and then on being wished luck said: Upkritam. Upkritam. Anugrihitam asmi (Obliged. Obliged. I am grateful).
When someone congratulated him on his easy shift from Urdu to Sanskrit, he said with a beatific smile: These are all our languages.
Joshis wife sat next to him talking about the familys links with the Muslim community. In a meeting of Muslims I recalled that my father, A.K. Pandey, was the home minister of the Nawab of Rampur. The Nawab had only one son, Mickey Mian, and was afraid that he might be poisoned. So he sent the six-month-old baby to Almora where my mother suckled him, she said. She claimed Muslim shopkeepers refused to take payment from her for goods bought and the money had to be forced on them.
Joshi himself claimed that he was on the best of terms with the community, which according to unofficial estimates accounts for 11 per cent of the vote in Allahabad and the adjoining constituency of Chail. Those who wanted a nation on the basis of religion went to Pakistan and became mohajirs. The rest are Indians. Our ancestry is the same. We are coparcerners of the Hindu undivided family, Joshi claimed.
The BJP is re-inventing itself during this election as a moderate party that stands for communal harmony. Its ability to talk at the level of Indianness as a geographical and civilisational concept, while its cadre remain deeply communal allows it to attempt to get the best of both worlds.
Joshi dismissed the confrontation between his ministry and the Indian institutes of management and the almost regular leak of examination papers as non-issues, waving his bejewelled hand.
The fee reduction is not even an issue in Gujarat, he declared. The Supreme Court in a judgment, Joshi said, had asked the states to rationalise the fee in private institutions to prevent the commercialisation of education. Now, if we are asked to do that in private institutions, why cant we do so in our own institutions' he asked.
As for the leak of examination papers, the cases were higher earlier. I have, in fact, cancelled exams, ordered CBI inquiries and set processes in motion to have online distribution of examination papers, Joshi claimed.
At his public rally outside the district magistrates office, none of these issues figured in his speech. Joshi instead talked of development and his own record as an MP.
He criticised the Samajwadi Party for not doing anything for the poor. Kidnapping and ransom have become an industry. Cheating in examinations is being encouraged. In the committee set up to oversee UPs development, there isnt a single farmer or a backward caste person. They are all capitalists from Mumbai and Calcutta who have never seen a village. How this must pain Dr. Ram Manohar Lohias soul in heaven! he exclaimed to public applause.
Joshi promised he would make Allahabad the Bangalore of north India. He worked the crowd by constantly asking them questions. A policeman standing nearby said: Adhyapak hain na. Janata ki class le rahen hain (He is a teacher. He is lecturing the public).
Only May 5, the day of polling, will show whether he is a good teacher. Joshi is being given a tough fight by the Samajwadi candidate, Reotiraman Singh. In 1999, Joshis lead over Singh was by 70,331 votes. Joshis supporters believe that the lead will increase this time. Others are less sanguine. With Uttar Pradesh Speaker Kesrinath Tripathi contesting from next door Machhalishahar, many BJP workers have moved there to organise his election and unlike last time, there is a Samajwadi government in the state.

Secrets of Success
Disheveled Mess Revisited
Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Revisiting last night's blog re: the comment about being formerly a "disheveled mess." I have to give my coach a bye on this one because his role in my life is to be the straight shooter. It's nothing I have asked him to do, it is just his natural way.
While being seen by me as a left handed compliment of sorts, it was still kind of a compliment. and in his defense, yeah, I suppose I was a disheveled mess. Sometimes the truth hurts, but sometimes you still have to hear it.
My hubby (of 12 yrs.) is not one for compliments either. The only time I can remember him saying something about my hair (for instance) was when we were dating, and he blurted out, "What have you done with your hair?" in a horrified tone when I came home from the salon. ha ha. (true story).
The best takeaway from this is that all people play different roles in our lives. Some are naturally attuned to changes, and will notice a slight difference in appearance. Others are cheerleaders, or devils' advocates, or just friends...as long as it all comes from a place of respect, it is all good. No harm no foul.
I appreciate my coach's point of view, because he is never going to tell me something just for the sake of saying it. I know that I count on what comes out of his mouth, even if I might balk at it.
I have been taking a very hard look at myself in the last few months, and I have made some significant changes. I continue to improve myself, and my attitude right along with it. I feel like despite obstacles, and some difficult challenges, I am bursting at the seams in happiness, and finding my true self under all these layers again.
I am proud of the progress I've made, and will continue to make. Change is a beautiful thing,

Yes, change can be so wonderful!
And as for your coach ... yep, he has to be the straight shooter - It's part of his job. And, LOL, I think we have to look at personal trainers as ARTISTS. I mean, like we are these little lumps of clay and their job is to fashion us into something attractive and lasting (ie, more healthy). My trainer use to laugh when remembering when I first came to the gym and had a hard time lifting a 5 pound weight. Seriously! I kept going for the 2 pound weights!
Well, I was weak mess and she gradually transformed me. Anyway, you are definitely a piece of valuable art to your coach and he wants you turn out great just as much as you want yourself to, I'm sure.
After all, he's probably going to "sign you, when you're done.

oh wow I know the feeling, my dad is terrible with compliments too.
He constantly asks me "have you lost weight yet?" I say "um..yea dad over 20 lbs already...."
Then he'll get a weird look on his face "oh..ok that's good" ARGH
he'll also ask if I'm pregnant because my belly he always thinks I am!! Drives me insane!!
Anyways I know the feeling but your outlook on it is awesome. Some people are just different and you have to deal with it.

My hubby doesn't compliment either and that's OK (now).
I didn't realize that comment came from your coach. I have to give you a lot of credit - if a coach said that to me I would not go back again.

I love what you wrote.
My hubby doesn't compliment either... and if I ask him if he likes something, he always says "if you like it, then I like it." I gave up. Then I had a kid. Now, my daughter says "Mom, you have a big butt." She thought that was a compliment. LOL!
Congratulations on your "improvements" and it sounds like you have a hubby who loves you the way you are. Great job!

Mourners hear calls for no revenge as hit victim Gary Hutch laid to rest in Dublin
Mourners gathered today to pay their respects to Gary Hutch, Ireland's latest gangland victim.
Hundreds of people were present for Hutch's funeral at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Sean McDermott Street.
The solemn procession made its way down the north inner city street close to where the 34-year-old grew up. A small gardai presence was visible.
Hutch, the 34-year-old nephew of 'The Monk, was gunned down in an apartment complex on Spain's Costa del Sol on 24 September.
His body was repatriated last Friday.
His brother, who is currently incarcerated in Mountjoy, was allowed compassionate leave on Sunday to view his body.
It is understood that the criminal was handcuffed to a prison officer at all times during the visit to a north inner city funeral home.
However, he was not allowed leave to attend the funeral today.
During the ceremony, Fr Richard Ebejer told mourners: "Jesus invites us to break the cycle of violence, by not seeking revenge."
"To those who are here, especially the young I repeat the words of St Paul: 'Do not overcome evil by evil, but overcome evil by good'."
"He was very much a family man, gentle in his ways and close to his daughter and parents and family.
"He had had a few downs in life and made a few mistakes, but things were getting better. He loved his family and he was a great dad to his daughter."
A family member also echoed the same message.
"We do not want retaliation. We don't wish our pain on any other family, I let God be our judge," she said.
Hutch will be laid to rest in Glasnevin Cemetery later today.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's proposal to pay for his job-creation plan with tax increases on the wealthy is not in keeping with a bipartisan path he was seeking, a spokesman for Republican House Speaker John Boehner said on Monday.
"We remain eager to work together on ways to support job growth, but this proposal doesn't appear to have been offered in that bipartisan spirit," said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel. Boehner is the top Republican.

Iraq veteran hospitalized before killings
Tue., Feb. 5, 2013
Texas suspect was in mental hospital
FORT WORTH, Texas – The Iraq War veteran charged with killing a former Navy SEAL sniper and his friend on a Texas shooting range had been taken to a mental hospital twice in the past five months and told authorities he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, police records show.
Eddie Ray Routh, 25, also told his sister and brother-in-law after the shootings that he "traded his soul for a new truck," according to an Erath County arrest warrant affidavit obtained by WFAA-TV. Police said Routh was driving the truck of victim and ex-Navy SEAL Chris Kyle at the time of his arrest.
Routh is charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Kyle, author of the best-selling book "American Sniper," and his friend Chad Littlefield at a shooting range Saturday in Glen Rose. He is on suicide watch in the Erath County Jail, where he's being held on $3 million bail, Sheriff Tommy Bryant said.
Routh, a member of the Marines Corps Reserve, was first taken to a mental hospital Sept. 2 after he threatened to kill his family and himself, according to police records in Lancaster, where Routh lives. Authorities found Routh walking nearby with no shirt and no shoes, and smelling of alcohol. Routh told authorities he was a Marine veteran who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Routh's mother told police her son had been drinking and became upset when his father said he was going to sell his gun. She said Routh began arguing with them and said he was going to "blow his brains out."
Police took Routh to Green Oaks Hospital for psychiatric care.
Dallas police records show Routh was taken back to the same mental hospital in mid-January after a woman called police and said she feared for Routh's safety.
In another brush with authorities, Lancaster police in May responded to a burglary reported by Routh's mother that included nine pill bottles. Police say Routh was involved but no other details were available.
Authorities say Routh, Kyle and Littlefield arrived at the sprawling Rough Creek Lodge about 3:15 p.m. Saturday, and a hunting guide called 911 about two hours later after discovering the bodies. Kyle and Littlefield were shot multiple times, and numerous guns were at the scene, according to the affidavit.
Routh drove to his sister's house, and told her he had killed two people and that he planned to drive to Oklahoma to evade Texas authorities, the affidavit said. Routh's sister then called police, and he was arrested after a short police pursuit in Lancaster.

School Traffic Problem
to the editor:
there are many issues regarding columbia prep and its lack of neighborliness that have led to opposition to the west 94th street project ("glass 'donut' expansion," oct. 15). many of us have complained about hundreds of cars dropping off and picking up students on west 93rd between central park west and columbus avenue to assembly member daniel o'donnell, council member gale brewer and the local police precinct captain, all to no avail. cars are double- and triple-parked, cars and buses are idling for 10 minutes or more, making the air quality horrible, and the traffic back-ups are dangerous for children and other pedestrians.

There's been so much going on in the last week-to-ten, I've had to let the website slide. Sometimes we run at the front of the pack. Sometimes we take too long in the pits. You know how it goes.
Long story short. 7 April 2012. Barely three weeks after buying Rocinante, my trusty little Pajero, some 17-year old, who tells me he probably got his license the same day I got my truck, attempts a wild right turn from the inside of three lanes, smashing in the rocker panel under my door. He's driving a modified Honda, apologizing earnestly, and his mom is screaming at him in the cell phone. I don't call the police. Figure, he's already in deep enough trouble.
Big mistake. He lies to his insurance company the following day, they deny my claim, and I spend a year following up with my insurance company on the counter-claim he filed, but never talks to them about. Finally, I convince my insurance carrier to deny his claim. He's obviously not interested in pursuing serious insurance fraud. It takes me another year to track down all my evidence, build my case, and figure out how to go after him in small claims court.
Last week Monday, I filed my initial complaint. Saturday, I dropped paperwork with the process server. By the middle of the week, he and his mom will find out they're going to court for $2,500 in damages. I'm hoping he and his mom raise hell with their insurance, which will call to settle for the full amount. If not, we'll just go to court and they'll be personally responsible.
I've got thousands of words written on how to get maximum value for your non-classic car when fighting with the insurance company and will be sharing the small claims process with you very soon. I think you'll find it useful. Taking this kid to court and polishing the articles for easier reading has taken more time than I expected.
Ham radio. If you know what it is, you might think it's a hobby for your grandfather, who likes to sit in the basement and talk about the weather with people all over the world. If you don't know what it is, think of it as having a walkie-talkie with better range than FRS or CB that, with a few select equipment upgrades, can actually allow you to talk to the International Space Station or people in other countries.
Amateur radio is what we use to coordinate people and traffic at rally races. Many of the people blocking side roads along the stages are ham operators, and Net Control knows exactly when each car leaves the start and arrives at the finish. In addition to having medical emergency personnel follow the cars down each stage, this is how we ensure almost immediate medical attention if there's a crash.
That's where I first saw ham in action, but where I think I'll end up using it most is while off-roading or camping beyond the range of cell phone service. All I have to do is program in a couple repeater frequencies (radio towers on mountain tops across the region which relay messages across a wider area), and I have a very reliable lifeline to civilization if we need help – or need to get help for others we come across on the trail. Research the range and price of CB and FRS radios, then compare that to a US$40 Baofeng UV-5R ham radio (Amazon) and US$15 test. Turns out ham radio is the best value.
I asked for – and received – my UV-5R for Christmas, installed a free ham radio study app on my phone, and ran through the multiple choice questions a few minutes at a time through the week. When I saw I was getting most of them right, I scheduled the test. It's 35 multiple choice questions. I'm pretty sure I aced it. Within a week, I'll have my callsign and can start using my radio. I'm pretty excited.
My poor little Pajero failed emissions back in September. I replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, thermostat, coolant, oil, and air filter – and still failed (albeit, with a 20% improvement over the first test). Then crazy work schedules and bills during the holiday season kept me from making any further progress, but I picked up an O2 sensor right after the first of the year, thinking it would be key to my success.
Turns out you can't get a sensor socket on it due to the oil filter being a few inches in front of it. Changed the oil and tried again. No dice. Even tried slipping a box wrench over it and getting a breaker bar in there, but it wouldn't budge. This past Saturday, I pulled the entire manifold and took it to the shop, where brother Keith and I used a pipe wrench, 4-foot breaker pipe, MAP gas torch, several drills, a handful of punches, Dremel cutting wheel, hacksaw, Fark-all Sawzall, and a larger hammer to mercilessly disfigure and remove what was probably the original sensor. After some 204,000 miles (328,000 kilometers) and 25 years of heat cycles, the last bits of the old sensor finally came out.
An hour later, I had the new sensor installed in the manifold which was bolted back up to the engine with fresh gaskets. Truck seemed to start quicker, smoke less (when cold), and pulls away from a dead stop more crisply than ever before. Soon, I'll be taking the emissions test again. Here's hoping I pass. At the end of the month, my tags will be expired 6 months! Oy vey!
. . .
There's been a lot going on lately, and it's only going to get busier. We've got another off-road adventure in the works for next weekend, High Desert Trails rally is coming up in May, I've already booked my flights and hotel for the DSM/EVO/GTR Shootout in Ohio in August, and let's not forget there's going to be an 80-100 page quarterly issue of Gearbox Magazine building in the next few weeks. (I'll have group-buy details available pretty quick, by the way.)
Thanks for coming along for the ride! We're going to be sharing a lot of stories this year you're not going to find anywhere else. From getting maximum value for your vehicle after an accident, to suing liars in small claims court (and why you'd want to do that), to importing a grey market vehicle, to simple things like choosing the right RTV or threadlocker. All that, on top of our unique, one-of-a-kind features on exceptional gearheads just like you.
Have you ever had to take someone to court after an accident? Got your ham license? Have a sensor removal horror story? Leave a comment. Let's chat!

The Rams actually hung in this game for three quarters, but then the Giants buried them with three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Eli Manning was 20 of 29 for 260 yards and three touchdowns, but the story of the game was the Giants' swarming defense. In the first two weeks of the season, the losses of Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan haven't hampered the club's pass rush.
The Giants finished with six sacks, and defensive end Justin Tuck continued his Pro Bowl campaign with two sacks and an interception return for a touchdown. It's not like Tuck came out nowhere (he had 10 sacks last season), but he's emerging as one of the top defensive players in the NFC East.
The once vaunted Rams offense was held to 201 total yards, and they only made it close in the second half because of a miracle catch by Torry Holt that made it 20-13. The Giants responded with a long touchdown drive and we were reminded why Ahmad Bradshaw is such a weapon when he took a swing pass from Manning 18 yards for a touchdown.
Tom Coughlin was worried to death about this game -- and for good reason. This is obviously a bad Rams team, but Coughlin knew there was an opportunity for a letdown. His offense, though, gashed the Rams with Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward on the ground.
Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo constantly rotated his talented defensive linemen, with defensive tackles Jay Alford and Fred Robbins combining for three sacks. Instead of worrying about players who aren't available, other players have raised their level of play.

- Three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart broke his leg in a dirt-track race Monday night.
- Stewart was leading a sprint car race at Southern Iowa Speedway when he was involved in a crash.
- The 42-year-old driver will miss this weekend's NASCAR race at Watkins Glen, New York, plus an uncertain number of other events.
OSKALOOSA, Iowa — Throwback racer Tony Stewart, who does not limit his racing to the major leagues, suffered a broken leg in a sprint car race at the Southern Iowa Speedway dirt track Monday night.
Stewart, 42, who won the 1997 IndyCar championship and then switched to NASCAR, where he has won three Cup Series titles, may be out of the remainder of the 2013 racing season after he broke both the tibia and fibula in his lower right leg.
The event was just part of a typical busy schedule for the Columbus, Indiana, native, who went end-over-end five times in a sprint car crash a week earlier.
He raced the next night at Ohsweken Speedway in Ontario and then on Thursday, he competed in an open-wheel modified stock car at Paducah International Raceway in western Kentucky.
Stewart, who owns the half-mile Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, has an ownership interest in the Paducah track as well.
At Oskaloosa, Stewart was leading the 30-lap main event when he was involved in a multi-car pileup. After the wreck, Stewart was taken to a local hospital and then airlifted to Des Moines, where he underwent surgery this morning.
Stewart honed his skills racing sprint cars and midget open-wheelers as a teenager in Indiana, with the Indianapolis 500 as his goal. The launch of of the Indy Racing League in 1996 gave him a shot at IndyCar racing, and he became the IRL's second champion in 1996-'97.
He switched to stock cars and won the Cup Series title in 2002, 2005 and 2011. No replacement driver has been named for Sunday's Cheez-It 355 at Watkins Glen International. Stewart has a streak of 521 consecutive starts in NASCAR's premier series. He is 11th in the standings.
Former NASCAR driver Jason Leffler was killed earlier this year in a sprint-car crash in New Jersey.
Edmunds says: The outspoken Stewart set himself up for an ironic fate when he told the media recently that coverage of the crashes he has been involved in was "starting to get annoying." His sprint car racing and the wrecks, he said, are "no big deal."

Build your vocabulary with Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day! Each day a Merriam-Webster editor offers insight into a fascinating new word -- explaining its meaning, current use, and little-known details about its origin.
December 3rd, 2014
Episode 34 of 923 episodes
Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 03, 2014 is: haggard \HAG-urd\ adjective 1 a : wild in appearance b : having a worn or emaciated appearance : gaunt Examples: The mountain climbers were hungry and haggard but were otherwise in good shape after having been stranded on the mountain for more than a week. "[Dorothea] Lange's 1936 photographs of California migrant worker Florence Owens Thompson and her children capture the haggard desperation of Thompson and her brood during the Great Depression." Chuck Sudo, Chicagoist, November 7, 2014 Did you know? Haggard comes from falconry, the sport of hunting with a trained bird of prey. The birds used in falconry were not bred in captivity until very recently. Traditionally, falconers trained wild birds that were either taken from the nest when quite young or trapped as adults. A bird trapped as an adult is termed a haggard, from the Middle French hagard. Such a bird is notoriously wild and difficult to train, and it wasn't long before the falconry sense of haggard was being applied in an extended way to a "wild" and intractable person. Next, the word came to express the way the human face looks when a person is exhausted, anxious, or terrified. Today, the most common meaning of haggard is "gaunt" or "worn."

So how to be a true Italian, ehm.... excuse me, true Sardinian (lecture number one and I deeply appologize to all the local people here in Cagliari who I love, because they are so fine, but in minority. I dedicate this to all the people here without even basic RESPECT.
1) Never close the door of the toilettes behind your ass when leavin it, coz for sure the people standin in the hall want to see whats goin on inside.
2) When u see somebody who is definately NOT Italian, point with the finger at him and look at him with proper disgust in your face.
3) When there are foreign people around u, speak about them loud, for sure they cannot understand a word in italian (but yes, we can!!!).
4) If u are a man, try to touch the foreign girls even on the street. They arent locals, so for sure u have the right to do it (some whores from Eastern Europe, pfffff).
5) Make loud comments about their clothes, face, hair all the time, how could they even wear shorts when its 25 degrees outside?! Its march, so they should wear proper winter jacket as u do.. (fokers, were from russia so we have summer already!!!)
6) Drive furiously and be nervous even when u are able to see, that the car in front of yours is foreign and has got NON-Italian number. Try to show him/her, who is the local boss!

Develop a comprehensive, family-friendly social media strategy that educates Yakult's primary target audience on the science and health benefits of probiotics, and engages with the community on a personal level.
Yakult U.S.A is a company that has been around for several decades, primarily in Asia and Europe. Yakult came to the United States in 1990, bringing with it a rich, international history. When Yakult asked us to bring a fresh perspective to their Facebook and Twitter platforms, we knew we had to simultaneously preserve that history and culture while bringing an updated, creative approach to the brand's published content. With social media channels in nearly 33 other countries and regions, it was our job to maintain a unified voice with Yakult's other platforms, as well as create a fresh, new look at their products. We wanted their US Facebook and Twitter pages to pay homage to the specific states, cities, and demographics that help make this brand so unique. We were able to come up with fun, family-friendly content that garnered audience engagement for the brand, as well as provide educational material for the consumer. By combining original illustrations, graphic design, and original photography, we were able to increase sentiment and engagement for Yakult. Currently, there is significant growth in Yakult's social channels.

CREB and ChREBP oppositely regulate SIRT1 expression in response to energy availability
The nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+))-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 is a major metabolic regulator activated by energy stresses such as fasting or calorie restriction. SIRT1 activation during fasting not only relies on the increase in the NAD(+)/NADH ratio caused by energy deprivation but also involves an upregulation of SIRT1 mRNA and protein levels in various metabolic tissues. We demonstrate that SIRT1 expression is controlled systemically by the activation of the cyclic AMP response-element-binding protein upon low nutrient availability. Conversely, in the absence of energetic stress, the carbohydrate response-element-binding protein represses the expression of SIRT1. Altogether, these results demonstrate that SIRT1 expression is tightly controlled at the transcriptional level by nutrient availability and further underscore that SIRT1 is a crucial metabolic checkpoint connecting the energetic status with transcriptional programmes.

For the past 4 weeks or so, I have had a pain in the muscle in the back of my leg (specifically from mid back of thigh to just below the back of my knee). It started out just as a muscle pain, coming and going, and I thought I pulled the muscle. Well, as I said, 4 weeks later, the pain is almost always constant with a sharp electrical feeling going down to my foot (by the way, my right leg). I can walk, but I definitely favor my right leg as it hurts to walk. Any comments or need more information? Thanks, LindaREAD MORE
What causes pain behind and below the knee?
Hi Linda,
I hope you've seen a doctor and had this fully checked by now, but let me reiterate what so many others have mentioned. Definitely talk to your doctor about this pain. It may be related to your RA, or it may be that you did injure the muscles in the back of your leg. Either way, the pain is something your doctor should know about. Best of luck to you!
Hello Linda and Jeanne:
Muscle aches and cramps are often a sign of overdoing a particular exercise. But in other cases, it is a vitamin/mineral deficiency. I had this problem as a teen until age 29 when I had my children and I found that glucosamine/chondroitin (1500mg a day) and cal/mag (500 calcium with magnesium) nipped it in the bud.
I am 55 now and haven't had this problem since six weeks afte starting the supplement. Give it a try for six weeks and see how it works out for you.
Regarding exercise and your leg complaint, warmup is absolutely necessary as is cooling down. The cal/mag is necessary whenever you are in any kind of an exercise routine.
Hope that helps,
AnneREAD MORE
Hi there
I wanted to reply to you as that is how my problems started years ago and I really feel for you, I didn't realise that anything could be done about them varying pain and abnormal muscle tone but then I went to a physio, they really understand what is happening and will give you some stretch excercises to do these should help.
Don't push on and ignore it as you will only end up wih bad posture and problems with walking.
Remember we all have a right to a physio!
Take care.
Hi Linda,
I have this issue also. Both of my legs are painful from the mid thigh to the top of the knee just like yours. Mine hurt especially severe after exercizing or riding my bike, which is a sight to see when a person cannot stand up straight.
I am writing to let you know you are not alone in this battle. I find having MS very frustrating when you grew up competitive skiing and skating, swimming and gymnastics. I want to find a cure so that others do not want to cry like I want to. Sharing this with my family is difficult. They do not understand. I am happy to have found web sites like these.READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

The Ferndale Library is back in action. Neither Snowmaggedon nor Federal holiday could keep us down on Monday and we opened our doors and arms wide to Ferndale once again. Over the past few days I've witnessed patrons taking their stacks of ten CDs (that's the max we allow out at once) up to the circ desk. As the purchaser of music at the FPL, this warms my heart. I've been ordering new things like a madwoman, so expect to see lots of new musical treasures. If something you want is checked out, don't forget that you can place our CDs on hold through our online catalog.
A Ferndale Patch article by Deleano Acevedo about the local music collection went up this week. Deleano makes me and my project sound amazing. Plus the pictures are pretty good too!
Tomorrow, The Ferndale Fine Arts Boosters are having an Irish themed fundraiser for musical instruments, instrument repairs and other things Ferndale Schools need to keep music and other fine arts education alive in Ferndale.
The FPLs annual community read program is starting out it's month of programming next Thursday with The Crooked Man's Open Mic Night. Read, sing or perform your work at the library! All of the events are centered around The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly, so come and pick up your copy of the book for free at the library! Also, check out the library's Youtube channel for some comedic reinterpretations of fairy tales the staff has worked on in anticipation for Ferndale Reads.
Blowout is next week too! Four nights of running around Hamtramck's bars, halls and dives and sampling the best Detroit's music scene has to offer. It is my goal to put up my Blowout picks early next week, so if you don't see anything by Tuesday, write me a comment! Take a look at the schedule.
Whew! That's a lot of stuff! See you at the library!

text: Steve Anderson, Executive Vice President of Schwab Retirement Plan Services (Photo: Business Wire)"Last year we launched Schwab Index Advantage with the goal of stripping out unnecessary cost and complexity to help workers save more for retirement," said Steve Anderson, executive vice president of Schwab Retirement Plan Services. "Today, we are seeing the effective implementation of this new breed of 401(k) plan through sharply lower investment expenses and markedly higher rates of advice usage. We believe this is the right combination for success." Lower Investment Costs, Higher Advice Usage Schwab Index Advantage integrates 401(k) features in a unique way to help workers save and invest for retirement. To help drive costs down, Schwab Index Advantage includes index mutual funds with low operating expenses instead of the often more expensive actively-managed mutual funds found in many 401(k) plans. Focusing on simplicity, the program includes a professional, low-cost, independent advice service that develops an ongoing personalized savings and investment strategy for individuals. Workers enrolled in Schwab Index Advantage have seen the weighted average operating expense ratio (OER) for investments in their 401(k) plans fall 77 percent to $14.78 per $10,000 invested because the plans now use index mutual funds. Prior to transitioning to Schwab Index Advantage, the weighted average OER for these same plans was $65.11 per $10,000 invested.** "Investment costs are significantly lower in these plans, which can positively impact the amount individuals can accumulate during their career," Anderson said.

Cabin Fever: 43 Ways for Writers to Preserve Their Sanity This Winter
Winter is a rough time for the work-at-home crowd. It gets dark at an ungodly hour, it's blustery and gray outside, and your 40-degree bedroom does not make you want to get out of bed in the morning. Your office is freezing. You haven't seen direct sunlight in four days.
Social interaction? Besides the poor souls you live with, you haven't seen a human face in a week.
Writing at home may seem like a dream gig compared to life in a cubicle. Trading soul-sucking meetings and fluorescent lighting for working in your pajamas? No office politics? It's a win-win all around– until you start realizing just how much you miss that morning talk around the water cooler.
Humans are social creatures. We need relationships. A lack of social contact can lead to chronic loneliness, depression, and a burning desire to accumulate dozens of cats. Don't hibernate in your office this winter: here are 43 ways to keep your sanity this winter.
- Go for a walk– it's the simplest and easiest way to beat cabin fever and get some exercise at the same time. Even a quick 15-minute walk can give you a huge boost in focus and energy.
- If you won't go for a walk for yourself, take the dog for a walk.
- Sign up for a co-work facility, where you share an office space with other freelancers. Most have shared conference rooms and kitchens in addition to permanent desks and office staples (printers, scanners, fax machines, etc.). The best part? Co-work facilities provide a collaborative and social environment without all the office politics.
- Steal an hour for some gym time.
- Treat yourself to lunch.
- Run some errands during the day. You don't work standard 9-5 hours, remember? If you want to go grocery shopping at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday, you go right ahead.
- Take a lunch hour every day: whether you're going window-shopping or picking up some Thai food, it's a guaranteed break from your home office.
- Take a class or attend a seminar to learn something new.
- Work from a local coffee shop or…
- …sample the local coffeehouses in your area– which one has the best coffee? Which one's the quietest? Which one has the most outlets? Work at a different one each day to find your favorite.
- Meet someone for lunch.
- Make a doughnut or pastry run for a quick mid-morning break.
- Meet friends or colleagues for an after-work happy hour.
- Go to industry networking events for writers or professionals (check LinkedIn or Facebook for event-hosting groups in your area).
- Go to professional events in your community, such as free lectures, conferences, book signings, etc.
- Head to the library. Like Stephen King wrote in On Writing, "If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that." Whether you're working or finding books , you'll be making excellent use of your time.
- Take weekly trips to the bookstore or trade in your older books at the used bookstore. Every book you buy is an investment for your writing skills.
- Beat writer's block and head out to a local park, museum, or gallery for inspiration.
- Take a photo walk and snap pictures of whatever inspires you.
- Don't let snow keep you inside: have a snow day! Invite friends over or take the kids out to make a snowman, have snowball fights, and create snow angels.
- Work in as much natural light as possible. Dark offices are murder on both your eyes and your spirits.
- Invest in a sunlight therapy lamp that mimics natural light. Seasonal affective disorder is a real thing, folks.
- Decorate your office with bright colors and pictures.
- Hang pictures of your past vacations– it's hard to feel gloomy when you're staring at a picture of yourself in Tahiti.
- Burn some candles or incense. Sensory stimulations can help your tired home office feel like someplace brand new.
- Get some plants to brighten up your office.
- Invite friends over for lunch once a month.
- Host a book club or a writers' group at your house.
- Winter is a fantastic way to start a big project or begin a new hobby. Cross some things off your bucket list and learn to knit like you've always wanted.
- Volunteer. You'll be making the world a better place and beating cabin fever at the same time.
- Get dressed up in the morning. Skirt, heels, jackets, ties– you may find you focus better in a tie than you do in those flannel pajamas. Dressing up can also help boost your self-esteem– when you look good, you feel good.
- Clean your office. Reducing clutter will reduce your stress level.
- Take some social media breaks throughout the day to reconnect with friends, family, and fellow professionals.
- Get active at home. Rent an exercise DVD, dust off that treadmill, or do some in-home yoga.
- Schedule Skype dates with friends and family– texting and Tweeting are no substitute for seeing someone's smile or hearing someone laugh.
- Start a blog– you may find a huge community of fellow writers based in your hobby or interest. Most cities have regular blogger meet-ups to help you transfer those virtual connections into the real world.
- Host a web chat or Twitter party for fellow writers or people in your niche.
- Get a part-time job. In addition to getting potential benefits or a steady paycheck, you'll be getting some much-needed socialization in the process. It doesn't have to be unrelated to your writing, either: food bloggers will gain plenty of writing material by working part-time in a specialty food or wine shop.
- If you've got a big project due, consider splurging on a hotel room or vacation rental to get away from all your home distractions.
- Take a trip– you can work from anywhere, remember? Don't be afraid to accompany your spouse on a business trip, visit family, etc.
- Further your education: whether you're working on a higher degree or just taking a class for your own personal benefit, you'll be enjoying social interaction while bettering your mind at the same time.
- Join a club or organization. And finally…
- GET OUT! Go anywhere. Do anything. Go to that exhibit you've wanted to see. Go to the free concert your library's been advertising. Say 'yes' to the friend who calls you to play hooky and go see a movie. Stop making excuses and go– or you'll look back on your career as a life spent hunched over a keyboard in a darkened office.

What's the most important piece of equipment in the office? Is it your computer? The photocopier? The video projector?
What about the lowly chair?
The chair doesn't get much love and attention but most of us spend a lot of hours – probably too many – sitting on one without giving much thought to whether it's the right fit.
Chairs are often an after-thought after the desks, filing cabinets and computers are purchased. When I worked at my first start-up, we took great pride in the fact we had purchased $30 chairs from Staples that we assembled ourselves.
When someone offered us a "deal" on $1,000 Herman Miller chairs, we laughed at the absurdity of spending so much money on, of all things, a chair. Keep in mind, this was during the dot-com boom, and the person making the offer had just bought 300 Herman Miller chairs as part of a new office.
In hindsight, maybe we should have taken the deal, or explored the idea of buying something other than DIY chairs. When you take into account how a bad chair can wreck your posture and make sitting for hours truly uncomfortable, spending more rather than less money on a chair makes sense.
After all, a good chair could last five years, so spending $1,000 on one (something I could never bring myself to do!) works out to less than 60 cents a day. Is your health and back worth 60 cents a day?
That said, the chair in my office is something I inherited from the people who used to own the house – it was a parting gift along with the mini-fridge, which is another important part of your office equipment to store Friday afternoon refreshments.
In theory, I have a plan in place to buy a new chair; one that is comfortable, durable and purchased as a long-term investment. Of course, that means chair shopping and figuring out where to go other than Staples.
Have you made an investment in a chair? If so, was it worth it? And where do you buy it?

CEE-ing into Ethernet silicon
Thaler hopes the .1au group picks one of four proposals for congestion management at a July meeting and develops a fairly solid spec by November. "It's a reasonably complex problem," Thaler said, with a five-person simulation group meeting weekly to iron out issues.
The .1au effort could pave the way for work on specs for priority scheduling and priority-based pause by 2008, she estimated. Most Ethernet silicon already has priority scheduling in the form of weighted round robin schemes, but new hardware support will be needed for congestion management and priority-based pause, she added.
Separately, Thaler expressed concern that IBM seems to be breaking ranks with other iSCSI advocates with its plan to ask the T11 group on Wednesday to start work on Fibre Channel over CEE. Personally, my take is IBM chief engineer Renato Recio is trying to play both sides against the middle to get Fibre Channel and iSCSI going over CEE so in the end its storage on Ethernet no matter who wins.
"I don't think its time to give up on iSCSI, it's promising," said Thaler, a senior principal engineer at Broadcom. "I don't think you get things done by changing when things are going slow to something else. In Broadcom we are strong supporters of iSCSI," Thaler told me.

She wants more women in the industry
When Hyper Island student Martina Tranström was out doing her internship at Big Spaceship in New York, she couldn't help but notice that out of 40 web designers, only two were female.
- This made me think about the male dominance in the entire industry. Lots of women want to work with design but somehow women who want to work with webdesign end up as project leaders, Martina says.
And she decided to do something about it. As her final project at Hyper Island she has designed and created a website for women in web design.
- The purpose of the site is to be a forum and a platform for women who want to be inspired and get advice from others in the industry, she says.
Why, in your opinion, aren't there more women in the industry today?
- I think a lot of women believe that is a lot more technical than it is. Working as a web designer is so much more. It is the best job ever. It is international, creative and interactive.
How did you work with this project?
- I started by contacting She Creatives, a Swedish network for female web designers and a London based network called She says. She creatives wanted me to make this website for them, but I wanted it to be in English and for the members of She says and other women in the industry as well. As I wanted to know more about what women wanted from a website like this, I interviewed women who are already in the industry. And to find out why there are so few women in the business I interviewed young women who are studying media in Highschool.
What did the survey show?
- That lots of girls want to work with web design, but as I said, many of them think that it is too technical. But working as a webdesigner is not technical at all, and I found that the more the students knew about the work that web designers really do, the more interested they are. So what they need is more knowledge and other women to inspire them.
And what functions would I find on the website?
- One function is "A day in life", where you follow a web designer during one day, to see how she works. Another function is the forum where you can discuss things and ask others for advice. There will also be videos where role models in the industry answer three questions such as: 1. What inspires you? 2. Why do you work with web design? 3. What is the best part about working with web design?
Was it difficult to get people to participate and share their stories?
- No, sometimes they hesitated, but when I told them who else were in the project they did it.
What inspired you when designing the website?
- I looked around at other websites that I liked. I didn't want it to be girly or pink and cute. I wanted it to be simple.
What is the next step?
- I really want to make this project work and I am now discussing different ways of funding. We'll see how it works out.

Byron Energy Limited has successfully completed the Byron Energy SM 6 #1 BP 02 well for future production. Utilising the Hercules 205 drilling rig, Byron re-entered the well and perforated the lower of the two hydrocarbon bearing sand lobes in the F40 Sand.
The project was completed on schedule and the Hercules 205 rig has been demobilised. The pressures encountered during the completion operation were as expected, based on data obtained whilst drilling in June/July 2014.
As previously reported the SM 6 #1 BP 02 well:-
•encountered two hydrocarbon bearing sands with combined net pay of 82 feet (25 metres) in the F40 Sand and several thin hydrocarbon bearing sands with combined net pay of 17 feet (5 metres) in the F30 Sand, and
•as cased and suspended inside a caisson in July 2014.
The completion operation in the F40 Sand has extended the South Marsh Island 6 lease term by 180 days. Consequently, the lease expiry date has been extended from 30 June 2015 to 27 December 2015. During this period Byron will pursue various drilling options.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was arrested when I was 14 years old for shop lifting. I went to juvenile court and was given the option to complete an online program that would drop my charges if completed. I am now in my senior year of highschool and currently applying to colleges. A frequent question is, "In the past 10 years, and including any pending charges, have you ever been the subject of any criminal proceeding other than a minor traffic violation?" Should I answer no, or yes?
Yes, that is the truth. They should give you a chance to explain.
R. Jason de Groot, Esq.,Ask a similar question
It is a delinquency proceeding, not necessarily a criminal proceeding. If you completed Diversion, which it sounds like you did, then you are eligible to have it expunged.Ask a similar question
Thank you, I just didn't know if a diversion program counted as a criminal proceeding.
It does, but if you completed, hen the case was dropped or No Petitioned.

If you answer "no" then you are knowingly providing false information. That said, you are free to do what you want and to answer the question as you wish.

Our crews are experts in digging underneath buildings and around our cribbing piles to leave a clean excavated foundation hole for masons to begin their work.
This 2-story frame house with a 12' wrap-around porch was lifted, a new foundation was
dug, and the house was set back down to 2′ above the original elevation.
Please note that excavation is offered only in conjunction with our house lifting service for buildings that we have supported.
Our excavation service does not include dirt or foundation debris removal. If dump trucks or dumpsters are available on site, we can place the dirt and/or foundation debris into them. In all other cases, the dirt and foundation debris will be piled up and left on site.
Please use our contact form or give us a call at 610-488-1020 to discuss your excavation project or if you have any questions about our process.
