I have a Mitsubishi Space Wagon that I suspect is burning oil. Just topped the oil about two weeks ago. Its also emits a blue smoke. I bought it used seven months ago. I change the oil every three months. Mileage is about 56,000 kilometres. What would you think may be the problem? – Evelyn
I assume you have checked for leaks – that there is no place beneath where you park regularly that indicates a leak.
You mention blue smoke, which is a sure sign oil is entering the combustion chamber either through the valve side or past the rings. If the smoke is especially noticeable when you lift off the gas pedal, that is probably valve guides or seals. If it emits blue smoke under acceleration or while cruising, that could also be valve guides or seals, but more ominously, worn cylinder walls or broken or worn piston rings.
Stick a finger inside the tail pipe – if it is black when you take it out and slightly shiny after you rub the finger for a moment, chances are that is oil residue.
The first thing to do is do a compression check, which will narrow it down to the cylinder or cylinders involved. The likely culprit is valve guides or seals – a repair that can be done by removing the head from the engine, not a small job or one left to amateurs or to attempt yourself.
If you plan on that repair and want to keep the vehicle for a while, this would be a good opportunity to replace some other wear items to help ensure trouble-free motoring, things like the timing belt and water pump and associated seals and gaskets.
The Space Wagon was known as the Mitsubishi Chariot in Japan and other markets and also sold here as the Dodge/Plymouth Colt Vista wagon. The engines were also used in a variety of other Chrysler products and built under licence by Hyundai for a period. They were noted for longevity with strong bottom ends, but there were some issues of the type you have encountered that, once repaired, allowed a lot more trouble-free miles.

Howling noise
We brought a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country 1-1/2 years ago. When we start it cold, we hear a loud howling noise. It continues until we put it in gear and drive. When we left it overnight at the dealership, they said it made no noise when they started it. Any ideas? – Carol
Ah, the elusive mysterious noise – the bane of every mechanic and technician in the world, second only to intermittent electrical faults.
I'll take a shot here that it might be as simple as the drive belt, previously known as the fan belt.
This belt loops around and drives a number of devices in the modern engine. If it is worn or improperly adjusted, it might slip when it and the various components are cold, causing more drag.
You might try having someone help you by starting the engine when cold while you observe the engine closely, with the hood up obviously. Before doing this, locate the drive belt and check it for tightness by pushing against it at some point between pulleys. There should not be more than a centimetre or so of play.

Books of The Times; 'Elia Kazan': An Unsparingly Examined Life
By Christopher Lehmann-Haupt
Published: April 28, 1988
Elia Kazan A Life By Elia Kazan Illustrated. 848 pages. Alfred A. Knopf.
Near the beginning of his mammoth but utterly riveting autobiography, Elia Kazan confesses, apropos of his unhappy stint as co-producing director of the Lincoln Center repertory theater during the early 1960's, that he ''had no experience in the production of classics'' and that he ''was skilled only in directing contemporary plays with contemporary themes that I subscribed to and with flavor (the talk) that I knew well.''
A roughly parallel observation might be made of his six previous books, the first a screenplay (''America America''), the rest of them novels (''The Arrangement,'' ''The Assassins,'' ''The Anatolian,'' among others) - that they lacked a sense of literature and of the traditions of fiction, and that they were clumsily disguised explorations of the author's immediate, somewhat undigested experience.
Yet if these deficiencies have hurt Mr. Kazan's previous books, they are no handicap in his autobiography. Here his gift for raw psychological truth is shown to best possible advantage: his subject is truly himself and he grasps for the heart of the problem.
The problem, as he sums it up at the outset, is how to resolve a contradiction he has felt in himself throughout most of his adult life. On the one hand, there was the compulsion to be ''handy,'' ''useful'' and, above all, pleasing that won him, early in his theatrical career, the nickname Gadget, or Gadg, which he admits to loathing. On the other hand, there was the black inner rage and longing for chaos that continually threatened to disrupt not only his career but also his family life.
To solve this problem he goes back to the beginning - back to his parents' origins as Greeks from Turkey - and traces his development from a boyhood so anonymous that there was a blank beside his high-school yearbook portrait, to the man who became famous as one of Hollywood's and Broadway's most successful directors.
Along the way, this exploration unearths personal anecdotes, theatrical history, Hollywood lore and portraits of the many notable people Mr. Kazan has known. There are Lee Strasberg, Harold Clurman, the Group Theater and the Actors' Studio. There are Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams, ''Death of a Salesman'' and ''A Streetcar Named Desire.'' There are Darryl F. Zanuck, Marlon Brando, ''Viva Zapata!'' and ''On the Waterfront.''
There are the story and the feelings behind the author's appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities and his tortured and controversial decision to name the names of fellow Communist Party members from the 1930's. There is a portrait of the author's first wife, Molly Day Thacher Kazan, so guilt-ridden and therefore multi-dimensional that it brings her to life and makes one share her husband's tortured love for her.
But none of these prizes simply hang there like so many ornaments for readers interested in show business or social history to gather. Instead, they are organic to the author's larger quest; they are the skin and bones he flings at us in his determination to find an unfettered self. And his honesty is powerful not simply because of what he confesses; it impresses and moves us also because, like the feelings he eventually digs up about his Un-American Activities Committee testimony, it is incidental to a deeper process of revealing that self.
The portrait that Mr. Kazan finally accepts of himself remains that of a deeply conflicted man. After looking back on his life and cataloguing his many contradictions, most agonizingly his inability to remain faithful to any single woman, he writes: ''I've repeatedly astonished people by what seem to be total reversals of positions and attitudes. This has sometimes led to distrust of me. Again and again my conflicting desires have led to the surrender of one or the other.''
The happiest he claims to have been is working completely alone, while writing the five novels he published after his film career had come to a close. Yet in this long and detailed account of his life, he all but dismisses those novels. This reveals a paradox that is evident throughout the book but that he never examines or identifies - that it was while working with and for others that he did the best work of his career, and that the closer he came to achieving his longed-for independence, the closer he came to terminating the most productive part of his career.
This paradox remains puzzling until one steps back and views his life as a whole. As he recounts it, for him the theater was purely a way of acquiring identity: except for a childhood enchantment with movies, there was nothing to predict that he would go from Williams College to the Yale Drama School. He was certainly never interested in theatrical art or tradition. Yet once having availed himself of the theater's power to confer false identities, he seems to have longed for nothing more than to break through to one of his own. Like Peer Gynt's life, his career reads like the process of peeling away the layers of an onion.
Near the beginning of his book, he compares himself to a black snake, which each spring acquires a ''glistening new skin,'' as it grows ''bigger and more confident - or so it seems - but no more friendly.'' He writes: ''I've shed several skins in my time, lived several lives, and known violent and cruel changes. Generally I've understood what happened only after it happened.''
At the end, when he seems to have achieved a small measure of the independence he has been seeking, he becomes obsessed with the death of friends, and with the notion that death may be psychic, the result of accumulated blows to the soul. It's as if he has suddenly grown concerned with the danger of shedding too many skins. So his commitment to autobiography is finally the search for some essence that will last beyond the grave.

Mayor James Butts and members of the Inglewood City Council heard loudly and clearly from fellow residents demanding answers in the shooting deaths of Kisha Michael and Marquintan Sandlin.
The packed council chambers were filled with friends, relatives and activists who say the Inglewood Police Department has been mum about details of the shootings which occurred Feb. 21, 2016, on Manchester Blvd. and Inglewood Ave.
According to sources, 20 shots were fired and police say the couple was initially believed to be unconscious while sitting in a car. When police approached, they allegedly saw a gun on Michael's lap. She was sitting in the passenger's seat. An "exchange" occurred between the officers, Michael and Sandlin, but it is unclear what happened. Five officers were involved. It is not known whether Michael or Sandlin threatened the officers.
The group, which included Michael's sister, wanted to meet with Mayor Butts last week, but he was offsite. Kema Decatur, deputy to the city manager, was given a letter of demands and asked to forward it to the mayor.
A white woman spoke out on behalf of Black Lives Matter, and shared their demands with the public: release video of the incident, release names of the officers, provide status of the case, and prosecute the officers.
Another woman asked for a copy of the police department's use of force policy.
"I stand with the families of Kisha and Marquintan, and demand that reparations be made to the family and we will not let it go," another woman said.
A local preacher added, "I hope you would respond the right way instead of the usual way."
"We have two concurrent investigations going on," the mayor said. "One by the Inglewood Police Department that will be concluded probably within 30 days, and whatever actions to be taken will be taken at that time. [The case] has also been turned over to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. They have the criminal investigation. That investigation is confidential. We are being as transparent as we can be within the law. We have no timeline on the district attorney's investigation and they will make the determination.
"Jackie Lacy (L.A. County District Attorney) has not prosecuted even one officer, and you need to be more sensitive to family members. Get it right, don't be like L.A.," a woman said.
Trudy Goodman from 2nd District said: "We have been asking for the result of this investigation. Now, when you have an outcry, within 30 days you're ready to have some type of report. You can quickly move on getting information on (the new stadium). This family has been waiting a year. We need transparency."
"We said it would take a year, this is nothing new," Butts said.
Kisha Michael's sister said the family is "dealing with stress levels and nobody reached out. Nobody said anything about what happened to my sister. My mom still doesn't know what's going on. It took us a long time to bury her and you know that."
Another woman criticized Butts for not approaching Michael's mother when he attended the funeral. Butts responded that he donated to the services and did not approach the mother out of respect for the family.
There were several interruptions and outbursts from the audience.
"Everyone is entitled to due process. We have to conduct the investigation within the laws of the State of California. We have great compassion for the family. At the same time, I'm the mayor. I cannot speak to things that are under litigation," Butts said.
He added, "I will be glad to meet with the family as soon as we close the chambers."
Councilman Eloy Morales said, "We can easily look disingenuous. But we'd like nothing more than to see the result of this investigation so we can all move forward. But as representatives, we come into a situation where we have our procedures in place. We're trying to be as sincere as we can. Moving forward, if he (Butts) said he's meeting with the family, he will do so."
In other matters, a local business owner complained that the Century Blvd. street improvement project has negatively affected his business. "I have had my store on Century Blvd that has been impacted significantly. My business has lost about 70 percent since it started … I shouldn't be in this position. I brought it up to the City before and I had no resolution."
City Clerk Yvonne Horton reminded everyone that April 4th is Municipal Election Day. Early voting begins on March 6th, and the last day of voter registration is March 20th.
Council members approved the following:
•A resolution by the City Clerk's Office to destroy rosters from Election Years 2009, 2010, and 2011; and all records pertaining to the City of Champions Revitalization Initiative/Petition dated January 2, 2015. Several residents spoke out against this action.
•Payment of invoices submitted by GRM Information Management Services of California, LLC for scanning services
•A three-year blanket purchase order (with an option to extend for an additional year) with Vista Paint Corporation for paint used for graffiti removal
•A funding agreement with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Phase VI Improvement Project
•A contract for the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system upgrade at the Inglewood Water Treatment Plant
•Renewing of an agreement with CPower Enerwise Global Technologies, Inc. (CPower) to retain as a curtailment service provider for Southern California Edison's "Share the Power Demand Response Program"

New Art By Numbers Video
OMG WTF POLAR BEAR this was good!! how have I not heard of this band
It's ok, insanely catchy, but dunno, feels bit forced. been meaning to check these guys out for a while though
ok i just got this CD and holy shyt, some of the most original riffs I've heard in a good while. gotta buy this tomorrow
i hate to be the guy that expects them to do promote a specific song, but i don't understand why they didn't do the video for regression to the meme.
Album is so fucking good.
Digging: Zao - Pyrrhic Victory
terrible video. like seriously wtf were they even thinking? song is good though. so is the album.
Ehhh bad lyrics, bad video... Song's ok but this band just gives me no reason to listen to them more than once. Rather, they make me want to go listen to Dear Hunter
The lack of grand piano is tacky.
Wow that was cheesy as fuck
Digging: Beastmilk - Climax
Expected to hate this like the other song I heard by them but I dunno I kind of liked this, maybe I'll check this album out.
This band is so tacky, the musical keys and scales just sound like generic Mozart throwaway parts. A.J Minette pulls this sound off much better, atleast he's able to use his classical training to create something similar but much his own.
Digging: Tetragrammacide - Primal Incinerators of Moral Matrix
so catchy it can't be denied
but, after watching the video, it doesn't capture the energy of the song at all, so yeah pretty shitty video (i imagined them playing it bouncing off the walls, instead theyre standing there playing relatively calmly lol)
I like his high pitched "Ta Da Da Da". Great Band and Great Album IMO
cheesy video, but goddamn that song was great.
Undeniably catchy
definitely like this better than their last video/song. There's just something deifferent about it.
Everything about this band feel so incredibly forced that I just can't enjoy it

SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert said Wednesday he signed the amended version of HB477 — a bill restricting access to many government records — to allow time to discuss further changes, even though he considered the original a "bad law."
The House and Senate voted Monday to delay the bill's effective date until July 1. The first version, passed quickly last week, would have gone into effect immediately with the governor's signature.
On Tuesday, protesters at the Utah Capitol said they were not satisfied with the delay and wanted Herbert to veto HB477, which makes sweeping changes to the Government Records Access and Management Act.
But the governor says his action has created time for an open dialogue that he believes will produce a better bill.
"The easy thing for me would've been to veto it and wash my hands of it," Herbert told KSL Newsradio's Doug Wright. "I'm concerned that we get the right outcome and have a process where everyone can come to the table."
He said he reached an understanding with legislative leaders that he would sign the bill after they recalled and amended it. To veto the original HB477 and possibly be overridden by the Legislature — both houses passed it with a veto-proof two-thirds majority — would have risked ending up with a "bad law," Herbert said.
He later added, "For those who play poker, you can bluff. ... Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose."
Herbert said he first heard about the bill just before leaving for Washington, D.C., the weekend before it was introduced and had "concerns from the beginning."
Responding to reports that House Republicans felt betrayed by being asked to recall the bill immediately after taking such a controversial vote, the governor said "nobody's under the bus." But he conceded that the public outcry has been "probably more robust than I thought it would be."
Legislators have promised to set up a working group, including the press and members of the public, to study GRAMA after the legislative session ends this week. That group would make recommendations to interim study committees, which would draft a new bill in time for a special session in June.
Can all the interested parties come to an agreement?
"We're going to put that theory to the test," Herbert said.
He said the legislative process could lose credibility if the public does not feel it has a chance for input.
"That didn't happen," Herbert said. "The good news for everybody is that it's going to happen now and it's going to happen in spades."
Critics are unhappy that the current provisions of the bill would be the starting point for those discussions. In its present form, HB477 largely exempts the Legislature and several forms of electronic communication from GRAMA, increases fees for records requests and removes language favoring openness.
Herbert said he expects the bill to look different by the time it goes into effect July 1. Asked why he signed it instead of letting it become law 20 days after the session, as it would have without any action from him, he said, "It deserves some certainty so we can start working on a solution."
Legislators have said the bill is needed to modernize GRAMA, since many private or informal discussions now take place through text and instant messages. They have also said they wanted to protect correspondence from their constituents, even though personal information can already be redacted under the current law.
Senate President Michael Waddoups, R-Taylorsville, expressed regret Wednesday about the fast-tracked process used to pass the bill.
"I apologize if it went fast, and as a result we're making amendments. We're making sure the public will have a chance (for input)," he said.
Explaining why the bill had to be rushed, Waddoups said, "Some bills are really difficult to get support for even though they're good policy." He said previous attempts to change GRAMA had failed as opponents targeted legislators one by one.
House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, said last week she would not apologize for the way the bill passed.57 comments on this story
According to Waddoups, the Senate didn't know exactly what House members had in mind until HB477 was unveiled.
"Even we were a little surprised by the quickness of it, but we were supportive because the case was made that it was needed," he said. Still, some provisions may go too far, Waddoups said, such as the exemption of all text messages from GRAMA.
"I don't think that was necessarily the Legislature's intent," he said. "The intent was that government documents would be available but personal messages would be private."

Gov. Pat Quinn may get his wish, at least as it concerns citizens carrying loaded, concealed weapons.
The Illinois House on Thursday rejected the concealed carry proposal, HB148. With 65 votes, it fell short of the 71 needed to pass. Thirty-two legislators voted against it.
Still, the bill's sponsor, Rep. Brandon Phelps (D-Harrisburg), kept the bill alive through a parliamentary maneuver.
Earlier this week, Quinn said he'd already made up his mind on the bill and vowed to veto it if it made it to his desk.
"The concept of concealed, loaded hand guns in the possession of private citizens does not enhance public safety," Quinn said Tuesday. "On the contrary, it increases danger for everyday people as they go about their lives."
Mayor Richard Daley said the bill is wrong for Illinois and thinks it would lead to loaded weapons being carried on buses, trains and near schools.
"The concealed carry bill was defeated because it was the right thing to do to protect our residents and first responders. Allowing concealed handguns in Illinois can turn the simplest everyday activities into dangerous situations," Daley said in a statement.
Supporters of the bill say concealed carry puts citizens on level ground with criminals who already carry guns, despite laws against it. Illinois is one of two states that don't allow legal gun owners carry concealed weapons. Wisconsin is the other.

TOKYO - The number of people who took their own lives in Japan drastically increased in the aftermath of last year's huge tsunami and the nuclear disaster it triggered, the government said Friday.
A more than 20 per cent rise in the amount of suicides in one month was likely attributable at least in part to the widespread anxiety Japanese society felt in the aftermath of the catastrophe, an official said.
In May last year 3,375 people killed themselves, more than 20 per cent up on the same month a year earlier.
Figures released by the Cabinet Office and the National Police Agency showed 30,651 people committed suicide in 2011, the 14th consecutive year the figure has exceeded 30,000.
"The whole of Japanese society was anxious after the disaster, and we suspect that to be a contributing factor," said an official of the Cabinet Office, adding suicides in May were particularly high among men in their 30s.
Last March's quake and tsunami, which claimed 19,000 lives and sparked the world's worst nuclear crisis in a generation, greatly hampered the Japanese economy and led to a surge in corporate bankruptcies.
Japan has one of the world's highest suicide rates, according to the OECD

The National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF) said only 13% of final salary pensions were open to new joiners last year, a fall of a third from 2011.
It was the biggest reduction since comparable figures started in 2005, when almost half of private sector schemes were open to all employees.
The association's annual survey also showed that the defined benefit funds were increasingly closing to workers already in them.
Higher liabilities created by quantitative easing and low gilt yields have prompted a "barrage" of closures, said the NAPF.
Chief executive Joanne Segars said: "The pressures on final salary pensions have proven too great for many businesses.
"Those starting a new job in the private sector have next to no chance of getting a final salary pension.
"What was once the norm is now a very rare offer, and those who are currently saving into one may find it gets closed."
Although two million private employees are in the schemes a new automatic enrolment system will bring millions of workers into a new pension type that will dominate in the private sector, the association added.
Paul Kenny, general secretary of the GMB union, said: "The recently announced state pension reforms will cost private sector employees about £1bn in extra tax and will further accelerate the juggernaut of final salary closures.
"Many employers aren't interested in providing for a dignified retirement for their workers. The new requirements for automatic enrolment will provide a minimum framework, but this won't be enough."
A Department for Work and Pensions spokesperson said: "Millions of people still benefit from final salary schemes, but their increasing costs means that over the decades many have closed to new members.
"Automatic enrolment into a workplace pension will see many millions more people saving for their retirement, with a contribution from the employer.
"We are working with the industry to ensure that pensions people will be enrolled in continue to be high-quality, low-cost, and we encourage all those who can to go beyond the minimum contribution to ensure they get a retirement income that meets their aspirations."

Reds pay tribute to leader of Big Red Machine
By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com
Anderson, the Hall of Fame manager who died Thursday at the age of 76 following complications from dementia, had his iconic career begin with the Reds. From 1970-78, there was no one in the game that was better. After all, this was the man who helmed the Big Red Machine -- one of the greatest dynasties in baseball history.
"One of the all-time greats," Reds Hall of Fame radio voice Marty Brennaman said Wednesday when word came that Anderson was in hospice care. "I laugh at anyone that says they could have managed those Reds teams. The hell they could. There were a lot of egos in that clubhouse. They had to find a way to make it work before they got on the field."
Those clubs included Hall of Famers Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Tony Perez and included greats Pete Rose, George Foster and Davey Concepcion. Under Anderson, the Reds won five division titles, four National League pennants and back-to-back World Series titles in 1975 and '76.
"Baseball lost an ambassador today," Rose said in a statement. "Sparky was, by far, the best manager I ever played for. He understood people better than anyone I ever met. His players loved him, he loved his players, and he loved the game of baseball. There isn't another person in baseball like Sparky Anderson. He gave his whole life to the game."
"All of baseball mourns the passing of one of the game's all-time great managers and ambassadors," Reds president/CEO Bob Castellini said in a statement. "In one way or another, he touched the life of every Reds fan. Every person who visits our ballpark and Hall of Fame is reminded of his contribution to the success of this proud franchise. We offer our prayers and support to Sparky's friends and family during this difficult time."
Although already silver haired, Anderson arrived in Cincinnati as a 36-year-old with one season as a marginal Major League player on his resume and many years in the Minors as both a player and manager. But he immediately commanded the respect of his players.
"When he came to Cincinnati, he was up from the Minor Leagues. He took over like he had managed 10 years in the big leagues," Perez said by phone on Wednesday. "He told us what he wanted to do and we followed him. That's why we won so many games. Before he was there, we could hit but struggled with our pitching. After he took over, he really took care of the pitching staff."
In that first season in 1970, the Reds won 102 games under Anderson but lost to the Orioles in the World Series. He would become their all-time wins leader with an 863-586 record (.596). Overall, he amassed 2,194 wins -- good for sixth all time.
Perez and Foster credited Anderson with helping them take their games to another level.
"I was a good player and a good hitter, but he taught me how to be confident," Perez said. "The way Sparky talked to you and all of the guys, he gave you confidence to go and do your best for the club. He was always thinking about the ballclub first."
"He gave me the opportunity to play on a regular basis and confidence," Foster said. "He encouraged me to improve my game. He would tell me I'm better than that or to be all I could be."
But the humble Anderson never took credit for the club's success.
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way," Anderson was renowned for saying.
But this manager underrated himself in many ways. His often shrewd way of handling pitchers created an era of higher bullpen use and situational relievers that still exists today.
"Sparky and I had quite a few conversations about pitching philosophy, and the way he used his bullpen was the key to his success," former Reds pitcher Gary Nolan said. "He was like a father to the guys on the team, a heck of a leader and a great baseball mind."
Anderson earned the nickname "Captain Hook" for not giving his starters a long leash when things got tough.
"He didn't realize the importance of his role, like being willing to take pitchers out," Foster said. "Guys today might be afraid to hurt some feelings. He was out there to win a ballgame. He took advantage of his players and coaches. He was in tune with everybody and didn't feel like he knew it all."
Under Anderson, the Reds had only one losing season -- 79-83 in 1971 -- and it was with a club beat up by injuries. After that, the club won at least 95 games in each of the next five seasons. Cincinnati was back in the World Series by '72, but it lost to Oakland.
The World Series wins of 1975-76 cemented Anderson's legend in Cincinnati and made his departure all the more tortured for the city. Following a 92-win, second-place season in '78, Anderson was dismissed by general manager Dick Wagner. An unpopular executive, Wagner loathed the rise of free agency and dismantled the Big Red Machine. In the process, he jettisoned the real leader that made them go.
"I think there was conflict between the manager and general manager," Foster recalled. "Dick Wagner didn't want Sparky to be bigger than him."
By then, Anderson was already a star manager and it didn't take long for him to become a pop culture attraction. In 1979, he appeared as a guest on "WKRP in Cincinnati" as himself. The fictional radio station landed him as a sports talk show host.
Unlike the Reds, Sparky's "show" didn't work out or last very long. By the end of the episode, he was let go, again -- this time by bumbling station boss Arthur Carlson.
"I must be nuts," Anderson told Carlson. "Every time I come into this town, I get fired."
Anderson confirmed his stature in the game when his Tigers club won the World Series in 1984. At the time, he was the first manager to win World Series in both the American and National Leagues. He would be inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2000, five years after his 1995 retirement.
As great of a manager as Anderson was, his beloved popularity in Cincinnati was as much about quality of the person. Often smiling and enthusiastic, he had a reputation for being an everyman for everybody that was never too busy to talk.
"He was a communicator and communicated with his players," Foster said. "Off the field, it didn't stop. He was a communicator in everyday life. In crowds, everyone gravitated towards him."
"Sparky was a gentleman, especially with the fans and the people around him," Perez said. "He knew he needed all those people to be successful. What he did was great."
Brennaman was a first-time, big-time big league broadcaster when he joined the Reds in 1974, replacing Al Michaels. He recalled a good working and personal relationship that formed because of the way Anderson treated him.
"He never has a harsh word for anyone," Brennaman said. "He was always gracious to the fans. He's a very special person in how he relates to people and how they relate to him. I compare him to [former radio partner] Joe Nuxhall, eminently successful people with no ego at all. Their popularity is off the charts because they were so good to people.
"He would look you in the eye, answer all your questions. It was as if you were the most important person in the world to him. Knowing him for 37 years, it was not an act. People could wonder if it wasn't the real George Anderson but it was. He loves people. He laughs easily and has a great sense of humor. He's just the kind of person that anybody with a semblance of celebrity would aspire to be like."

Legal Question in Family Law in California
What do i do if i got served child support papers claiming have a child with a person I do not even know? Could this be a mistake on the mothers countys part? Or more than one person with this name? I dont know what to do. thanks
1 Answer from Attorneys
If it was served by the county Child Support Services, it is probably a case of mistaken identity, e.g., someone with the same name. It could however, be fraud too. In either case, work with them to establish that you never had any contact with the mother. They're usually pretty good about dealing with this kind of thing. They are supposed to be neutral helpers to both custodial and non-custodial parents, so they are not usually adversarial. If they start stonewalling you or being adversarial, though, get a lawyer. They have a lot of power and if they decide to go after you it can be hell if you are not represented.

LOS ANGELES -- ''War of the Worlds" conquered the box office as easily as the movie's aliens overpowered Earth, but it did not have enough firepower to overcome Hollywood's prolonged slump.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise's sci-fi tale took in $77.6 million over the long Fourth of July weekend, lifting its total since debuting Wednesday to $113.3 million, according to studio estimates yesterday.
That fell well short of the all-time high held by ''Spider-Man 2," whose $180.1 million haul in its first six days led Hollywood to a record Fourth of July weekend last year.
The top 12 movies took in $160.1 million, off 25 percent from that 2004 record weekend.
It was the 19th straight weekend that domestic revenues were down compared with last year's, extending the longest slump since analysts began tracking detailed box-office figures.
The worst downturn previously recorded was 17 weekends in 1985.
For the year, revenues are down about 7 percent; while factoring in higher ticket prices, admissions are off 10 percent. The longer the slump drags on, the harder it gets for Hollywood to dig itself out of that revenue hole, said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations.
''There's a spotlight on the slump and people's dissatisfaction about going to the movies. That negative perception can create a negative reality," Dergarabedian said. ''It also gives people the opportunity to vent all the reasons they don't like going to movies, whether it's high ticket prices or the costs at the concession stand. So they feel validated in that by the slump."
''War of the Worlds," Spielberg and Cruise's update on H.G. Wells's classic about space invaders laying siege to Earth, had the second-best four-day opening over Fourth of July, behind the $115.8 million for ''Spider-Man 2."
''War of the Worlds" bumped ''Batman Begins" to second place after two weekends in the top box-office slot. ''Batman Begins" hauled in $18.7 million over the four-day weekend to raise its three-week domestic total to $154.1 million.
The weekend's other new wide release, the Martin Lawrence basketball comedy ''Rebound," fouled out with just $6 million from Friday to yesterday, coming in at No. 7.

i have 3.4E and i used bannerbomb, then the trucha bug (i think) to install latest cIOS. i get the deal now and started messing, and installed preloader. i got the exact same problem described in this thread:
turns out it could be fixed very easily by changing from 50 to 36 in the settings of preloader (#10 in the thread). bam! everything is back, i stop shaking with worry.
all i want to do now is get rid of preloader. i hear you cant uninstall the IOS, and have to overwrite your system menu. people seem to recommend any region changer for that, but im worried that if i use that it'll take my system down from 3.4E to 3.2E and none of my installed stuff will work.
i have the USB Loader GX forwarder installed now, HBC, thats all i really need and i want it to stay like that. am i safe to use ARC to get rid of preloader, or should i do something else?

Ripple effect of Moncton shooting felt in the Okanagan
KELOWNA — It's on the other side of the country, but the ripple effect of Wednesday's shooting in Moncton that left three officers dead, is being felt in the Okanagan.
"It's so sad, it's so very very sad, they didn't have a chance," says Kelowna psychologist Dr. Heather McEachern.
It hits close to home for Dr. McEachern. She's been helping cops cope with tragedy for the past 20 years.
The brutal killings, in her mind, will no doubt have an impact on Mounties in our region.
"Every call could be their Moncton," says Dr. McEachern, "I expect this will cause a heightened sensitivity for some of my clients and may bring some new people through the doors."
The concern has also trickled to the streets of Kelowna.
"It seems nobody's safe anymore," says a local resident, "it is really disturbing and unfortunate. I feel really bad for the families of the fallen and the wounded."
But if there is to be some silver lining of this horrific tragedy, Dr. McEachern says, "what could rise from the ashes from this sad event could be the public showing some recognition to our first responders."
She says a simple thank you, is all it takes.

Blendtec Hp3a 3 Hp Blender
Blender Needs Tamper
Complaint Rating:
Contact information:
Blendtec / K-Tec
Orem, Utah
United States
Phone: (800)253-6383
The Blendtec 3 hp HP3A, Total Blender, EZ Blender, the Blendtec Champ, the Blendtec Connoisseur blenders, all of them, have been designed to run its blending cycles automatically pre-programmed. Therefore the company states that a tamper on its commercial or residential blenders is not needed. However, customers in restaurants, smoothie bars, coffee shops, and consumers have repeatedly reported to us (123Vita, LLC on www.3blenders.com) that a tamper is needed indeed.
The company has threatened us legally to stop selling the tamper made from poplar wood dowels and sold for under $ 10.00. I understand that Blendtec has invested into its design and blending cycle programs millions of dollars. But it is still the truth; the Blendtec HP3A Blender, the Total Blender, etc... all need a tamper at times.
Now, the blending cycles are designed so genius that in theory it makes sense that no tamper is required to push down the ingredients towards the rotating blade. An electronic automated blending cycle is engineered to slowly start up, pause, speed up, etc... and then finish of the blending of the smoothie, the ice cubes to snow, the milk shake, the hot soup, etc... When a mistake however is made by either pushing the wrong button / program, or adding the incorrect ingredient amount, or being in a hurry with blending down frozen strawberries, often hands, spatula, fork, spoon or other devices are used to accelerate the blending process.
Blendtec blenders are great. You can get the 3 hp Blendtec HP3A blender with 25 blending programs for around $ 350, or with sound enclosure for under $ 400. The Connoisseur Blendtec blender has 30 blending cycle programs, and so does the EZ Blender. The Total Blender is equipped with 16 programmed blending cycles. We sell a lot of these blenders.
Blendtec has indicated to our distributor to stop selling to us because we are selling and/or offering a tamper with these blenders. We just want to be honest and the company is fighting dirty, want to get rid of us or even threatened to sue us in court. The blenders work great if customers take the time to learn the programs. A tamper is still needed at times. Just be safe and don't put your hand into the container or a fork. We provide a wooden after-market-fitted wooden dowel with a cross through so the end won't touch the blade when used with the lid in place...
Anyway, that is our story. The proof, why do customers buy the wooden dowel tamper for their Blendtec 3 hp HP3A Blender, their Connoisseur blender, their EZ blender, their smoother, their Total Blender, etc...? Because it is really needed, seldom, but it's good to have it in the drawer when you need it.
Thank you for your comments and ideas of how to deal with Blendtec better. Any suggestions are welcome.

I think about the one-size-fits-all model a lot when I remember what brought our family to homeschool our then eight-year-old daughter, four years ago.
When we started this experiment, I thought I knew what a typical homeschooling family looked like. Homeschoolers were either fundamentalist Christians who wanted to isolate their children from the corrupting influence of modern society or off-the-grid hippies with a reflexive fear of authority and an inclination to make their own yogurt and shoes. ...
Ostus wrote:"I wanted our daughter to learn how to learn."This is a very good point.
Especially learning how to discern what is and what is not important to the instructor, since it is most often the former that will appear on the exams.
I got mostly A's in HS because I was able to assimilate ALL the material presented by the teacher. But when I got to college I strained just to get C's and D's, eventually dropping out because the amount of material was far too large to assimilate causing me to be unprepared for some of the exam questions needed to earn a high grade.
Had I been taught "how to learn" early enough to make a difference I'm sure I would've ended up becoming a much more productive member of society.
This is a very good point.
I remember back in the 1970's reading a book by a guy called Edward De Bono who made this very point about education systems in western countries. That they don't teach children how to learn and skills in accumulating facts.
Teachers emit lots of facts and expect all students to memorise them to regurgitate them at exam time. But alas not all kids have good memories.

A marijuana robbery led to three homicides by stabbing in Springfield, Va., authorities said.
Delante T. Cook, of Prince George's County, has been indicted for conspiring to rob brothers Ryan Strope, 26, and Terence Strope, 38, in November 2008. The two brothers and a visiting friend, Andres Yelicie, were stabbed in their rented home in Springfield, Va. All three men later died of their wounds.
Authorities said that their killers had been watching them.
According to court documents, Cook and an accomplice, Jelani Slay, had been surveying the Stropes' house during the fall of 2008.
Cook and Slay made their move on the evening of Nov. 19, 2008, prosecutors said. Possibly aided by others, the two dressed up in law enforcement clothing and armed themselves with knives, according to court documents.
An eyewitness had told Fairfax County police that two men wearing shirts that said "SWAT" entered the house that evening. Neighbors heard a scuffle, and then witnesses saw the men dressed in police clothing leave the house.
According to charging documents, Cook and Slay stabbed all three men in the house. One of the victims, Andres Yelicie, made it out the front door to a neighbor's house, where he asked for help as he bled. All three men died at a hospital a short time later.
The men escaped with cell phones, two laptop computers, cash and a cache of marijuana, court documents said.

Inside Firefox 3's Latest Beta Update
Mozilla is up to its elbows in code as it works toward the final release of the third iteration of its Firefox Web browser.
With the launch last week of the browser's third beta version, the open source developer has given some 500,000 developers and testers the go-ahead to put the application through its paces.
This latest beta is the 11th developer milestone to test the browser's core functionality and the many new features and changes Mozilla has made to the platform for Firefox 3.
Although Beta 3 includes some 1,300 separate changes from the previous beta, Mozilla said it still has additional changes in the works.
"This beta will give you a taste of what's coming in Firefox 3, but there's still more to come, and much of what you'll see may still be a bit rough around the edges," the company said.
The beta, however, is intended for Web developers and testers for "testing purposes only," Mozilla cautioned.
"We do not recommend that anyone other than developers and testers download the Firefox 3 Beta 3 milestone release," the company warned.

Foxtel Play - HD only on Live?
- 5 comments
- 404 Views
I recently signed up for Foxtel Play so as to get SkyF1HD's coverage of F1.
China was great as I watched it live and in HD (well 720p at least). The next race (Bahrain) seeing it ran at 2am, I decided to watch via the "Anytime" on demand option. The picture was certainly NOT in HD, I could hardly read the timing stats on my 55" Samsung! I tested some other content and it all seems 360p or 480p at best? Is this correct and normal? I signed up as it advertised I'd get full coverage in HD.. it sort of defeats the purpose if that's only applicable to the live coverage channels.
Anytime content is sill all SD at the moment.
I couldn't find anything on the Foxtel Play website saying you'd get full coverage in HD - do you have a link to that? It'll probably be obvious once you point it out.
|iQ2 (ex iQ3) Satellite - Canberra
Go - Windows 10 x2
Go - Google Nexus 7 (Android 5.x)
Go - Google Nexus 5 (Android M/6.0)
Go - Samsung Galaxy Tab A (Android M/6.0)
I didnt look at the web page specifically for specs on the Tesltra TV device. Mind you, even looking at it now, it is misleading to say the least. To me it reads as though the coverage is in HD (for some channels, which includes Sport 505) and can ALSO be viewed via the watch anytime option. If they go to the extent of highlighting HD for one method of watching, they should really highlight that other methods are SD and not just leave it blank.
Regarding the ad that brought me to sign up in the first place - I think I originally saw it on TV during a F1 race - advertising the extended coverage that they provide for F1 (which is great) and that it was "Add Free" and in "HD". Again, maybe there was an asterix somewhere there for qualification, but from what I am seeing around these forums, it seems to be a common misconception, and perhaps something Foxtel should be more upfront about.
If it was an ad during F1 it was probably for cable & satellite subscriptions and talking about the broadcasts (he says having not seen the ads himself)

I'm revisiting this one today and it is yummy. There isn't a list of ingredients yet as it's still COMING SOON and yet to be released! :)
BUT…here is what I can say about it from my experiences…
I can see Green Rooibos, some sort of citrus peel or peels, rose, and MISC dried fruits. It smells like Citrus…like Orange, Lemon, Grapefruit all mixed into one. I can also smell something that smells like Apricot and Pineapple, almost…at least that is what it smells like to me.
The color once infused is bright and vibrant. The taste is juicy and candied-like. I can taste orange, maybe apricot, maybe apple, maybe papaya and/or mango or peaches, perhaps!? As well as a few other tastes…it leaves a slight lemon aftertaste and is very nice.
I really think this is great!

Colorado's unemployment compensation fund, like that of many other states, provides temporary payments to employees who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. The programs draws from a public policy that assumes "unemployment is a serious menace to the health, safety, morals and welfare " of the people of Colorado and is designed to "lighten its burden" on workers and their families.
In 2007, the state legislature changed the law to allow employees more time to appeal unemployment benefit decisions.
The Colorado Department of Labor & Employment (CDLE) administers the law through its Division of Employment and Training (www.coworkforce.com/emp/). Employees make no contributions to the unemployment compensation fund, which is financed entirely by taxes on employers.
The law is complex and in some cases holds an employer liable for unemployment insurance (UI) payments even when a former employee wasn't fired but...(register to read more)

There are two ways of looking at the new Winnipeg Blue Bombers soap opera, tentatively titled As the World Turns Around Charles Roberts.
On one hand, Roberts appears to be channeling Terrell Owens, acting like a petulant kid who is not getting his own way and proving once again that he's not the most mature 27-year-old on the planet.
Roberts apparently watched the Drew Rosenhaus motivational video before unloading on the Bombers brass for daring to consider bringing in an NFL-calibre running back to compete for playing time in the backfield.
Blink has done this before, of course, and that allowed management of the CFL team to downplay his comments with the simple explanation: "It's just Charles being Charles."
So far, it has been a massive over-reaction from Roberts, considering the team has only had preliminary conversations with Onterrio Smith's agent and may never actually sign the infamous Whizzinator. In the process Roberts managed to insult GM Brendan Taman and get off on the wrong foot with new coach Doug Berry, who he hasn't even met.
It's an act that is clearly wearing on some people and it's doubtful the no-nonsense Berry will put up with it for very long.
On the other hand, you have to wonder why the Bombers would mess with the fragile psyche of their star running back in order to pursue a player who has been suspended more than once by the NFL for drugs despite going to extraordinary lengths (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) to avoid positive tests.
Nobody, including Roberts, knows what Taman and Berry have in mind for Smith if he comes here, but you can see how Blink would take this like a poke in the eye.
Roberts is a five-time all-star who has been nothing short of exceptional throughout his CFL career. He's a player fans around here would like to see for a long time. He has thrived so far without any serious competition for touches in the backfield, so why should that change now?
In the end, this could all blow over like hockey player Sandis Ozolinsh on a breathalyzer, but you have to think scars will remain and that is unfortunate.
FLAME OUT: Although it would have been fun to watch the Calgary Flames go on another long Stanley Cup playoff run, you had to be happy for our old friend Teemu Selanne when the Anaheim Mighty Ducks advanced to the second round.
Selanne is an absolute joy to watch this year, as he uses his speed and skill to resume his position as one of the most exciting players in hockey. The battle scars on his face prove that he isn't shying away from any corners either.
You could tell from the start of the year that the old Teemu was back, but you could argue that he has never looked better -- and by that we mean more rounded -- than he did at the Olympics in February and during the seven-game series win over the Flames.
One of the most popular players in Winnipeg Jets history, you have to think there are an awful lot of fans in these parts who would like to see that cracked-tooth smile below a hoisted Stanley Cup next month.
GRITTY KITTY: Former Jets player and Moose coach Randy Carlyle is doing a great job with the Ducks as well and that's a nice story, but the ex-Winnipeg player you have to be most happy for is Teppo Numminen. The steady defenceman was on the winning end of a playoff series for the first time in his 18-year career this season with Buffalo. The first eight of those years were with the Jets. Go figure ... Isn't it about time for more local fans to start getting on the Manitoba Moose bandwagon? The Jets won two playoff series in their NHL existence and got whiteouts. These Moose are making playoff runs a habit ... If I hear another person refer to Detroit as Hockeytown, I'm going to, well, choke ... Barry Bonds got hit in the bean with a foul ball while standing in the dugout during batting practice the other day, but you could hardly blame the guy in the cage. Bonds' melon is so big, it has its own gravitational pull ... Note to John Daly on how to get back some of that $60 million he has gambled away: Start playing golf with Charles Barkley. $20,000 a hole should do it.

"We've had some positive momentum from the European and US sessions," IG Markets market strategist Stan Shamu said.
"So we've been fairly `risk on' this morning."
Wall Street rose after the release of an unexpectedly positive reading on manufacturing sector activity in September.
European stocks and the euro rallied as traders tracked Spanish debt strains and the revival of a merger bid by commodities sector giants Xstrata and Glencore.
Mr Shamu said investors in Australia were waiting to see if the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) would announce an interest rate cut later on Tuesday.
Mr Shamu said views were divided on whether the RBA would cut the cash rate from 3.5 per cent or keep it on hold.
"It's very much a line-ball call," Mr Shamu said.
In the resources sector at 1205 AEST, global miner BHP Billiton was 32 cents higher at $33.44, and Rio Tinto climbed 30 cents to $53.66.
Iron ore company Fortescue Metals was in a trading halt after the High Court ruled that chairman Andrew Forrest and the company had not misled investors over the nature of agreements with three Chinese entities in 2004.
Fortescue last traded at $3.50.
Qantas shares ascended three cents to $1.22, after the airline said it had sold its 50 per cent stake in road freight operator StarTrack to Australia Post, and taken full ownership of air freight business Australian air Express.
Also on Tuesday, the High Court ruled against the airline's fight to be exempt from paying $34 million in GST on unused flight bookings.
Among other stocks, property group Goodman Group was seven cents higher at $4.03 as Goodman said its industrial property fund intended to raise at least $400 million from investors.
All the major banks were also higher.
At 1215 AEST, national local turnover was 660.4 million securities worth $1.1 billion, with 469 stocks up, 283 down and 301 unchanged.
As well as its monthly board meeting, the RBA will also release its index of commodity prices for September.
The mining giants and major banks all opened higher.
BHP Billiton was up 29 cents to $33.41 and Rio Tinto added 39.5 cents to $53.75.
ANZ was seven cents higher at $24.86, National Australia Bank was up 11 cents to $25.65, Westpac added nine cents to $25.03 and Commonwealth Bank rose five cents to $55.90.
Qantas shares were up 2.75 cents, or 2.3 per cent, at $1.2175, after announcing it had sold its 50 per cent stake in road freight operator StarTrack to Australia Post, and taken full ownership of air freight business Australian air Express.
Shortly after the market opened, the High Court ruled Qantas must pay $34 million in GST it had collected from passengers who booked tickets but didn't take their flights.
National local turnover was 272.2 million securities worth $317 million, with 368 stocks up, 200 down and 243 unchanged.

Also possible Hanne, but I don't think it's warmer as other years. But..... I don't know
- and not cold enough, Ank!!
Hi Ardy, we don't have much colors too, I think it's because it was and is too wet. thanks
I can see some color in the woods. Our color wasn't very brilliant this year. I'm thinking it was because our summer was so hot and dry. The leaves just fell off. Thanks, for a new walk, Ank.
Hi Hanne, Sissy, Sandy and Graciela. It's starting to color, but there is still a lot of green. Some trees are beautifull, others are bare. But most is like this, just a little. And Hanne there are enough trees to make it a wood, it's in the South-East of Friesland.
Still so green! beautiful Ank! thanks
You are getting some pretty color in your trees now and I also like the little clump of white flowers in the grass. Thanks Ank.
Love the view thanks Sissy
I saw your comment about woods in Friesland! Yes, it's rather incredible, but there are some trees here anyway - but are they enough to make a wood?? Thanks so very much Ank!!
Good morning Pilley and Lorna. Yes this is close to my house, just two min walk. A few days ago you saw my street. There is a school at the beginning of the street. From my house I cross the street and walk along the school. Once I passed the school this is my view. I made this Autumn walk Nov. 14. So Pilley you see, it is still this green. It is strange, some parts are still green, other parts are coloring and also a lot of trees lost their leaves already.
Looks a nice walk Ank. Is this near your home?
Is it still this green where you are at?

Former Georgia Southern All-American cornerback/kickoff returner Laron Scott hinted on Facebook that he would continue his professional football career in Montreal in the Canadian Football League on Monday night.
Scott posted, "So it's official. Montreal, Canada. CFL meets L. Scott" on his Facebook page.
The news release came out a day later. Tuesday, Scott signed a three-year deal with the Alouettes.
Scott hopes to mirror another Georgia Southern star, Tracy Ham, who carved out a stellar career in Canada, mostly with the Edmonton Eskimos. Scott is the fourth GSU player to play in Canada.
Scott, 5-9, 184 pounds, finished his collegiate career with Georgia Southern in 2011 and holds just about every kickoff return record at the school. He will always be remembered for his thrilling 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Alabama in 2011.
Scott was picked up as a free agent by the New York Giants in 2012 and signed to the Giants' practice squad.
He failed to make the Giants roster in 2013.

Plastic surgeons warn: Don't go overboard with Botox
November 12, 2012
Botox injections have become immensely popular among people seeking to erase the lines on the face that come with age. But at a recent luncheon celebrating the 10th anniversary of Botox, experts in the plastic surgery field issued a warning to patients: Don't overdo it when it comes to injectable cosmetics.
According to Business Weekender Online, three board-certified plastic surgeons attending the event agreed that it isn't wise for patients to remove all wrinkles from their face with Botox, even though it is technically possible to do so. While some wrinkles may seem like unsightly indicators of age, others are responsible for conveying emotions and expression.
"Years ago, Hollywood directors were complaining because they couldn't find actors or actresses to play roles because everyone was over-treated with Botox," said one doctor, the news source reports.
He went on to say that plastic surgeons may want to be extra cautious with male patients who are seeking Botox, because for men, facial "lines give a sense of power and dignity... The psychology behind a man's appearance is different from a woman's."
His male patients, he said, are usually concerned about deep wrinkle lines, like those in the forehead, while female patients are typically more worried about general wrinkling and finer lines.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), injections of Botulinum Toxin type A was the most popular non-surgical procedure in 2011, with 2,619,739 patients undergoing the treatment. Such injections were also the most common procedures for people between the ages of 35 and 50.
Those who are considering getting an injection should be sure to speak with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with the procedure. Do not trust an untrained person to give cosmetic injections of any sort, as this can lead to major complications.

Free Sculpture Materials - Must Remove!
Calling All Creative Space-Saver Sculptors
Now here is a great opportunity to solve the "law of unintended consequences..' That is, what do all the New England cities do with all the furniture items used to mark the spots of saved, shoveled out parking spaces?
Last week, the Somerville, MA, Department of Public Works began rounding up plastic chairs and other miscellaneous objects residents had used as parking space savers - which was never legal in the city, incidentally - during the record-smashing series of snow storms that shackled the entire Boston area last month.
Now the question is, what's going to happen to all those space savers? That is where our creative sculptors come in – create art from the discarded furniture dedicated to the areas greatest snowfalls on record.
Somerville officials say they would welcome imaginative solutions from residents.
"We're always looking to be creative so anything's on the table (big or small)," Jackie Rossetti, a spokeswoman for the city, told WBZ-TV.
Anyone who wants to submit an idea can email: [email protected], or call 311 (617-666-3311 from outside Somerville city limits).
