Yallah! Underground was filmed during a period of great change within the Arab world. From 2009 till 2013 (before, during and after the Arab Spring) director Farid Eslam and his crew followed some of the most influential and progressive artists in Arab underground culture and documented their work, dreams and fears in an ever-changing environment.
In a region full of tension, young Arab artists in the Middle East have struggled for years to express themselves freely and to promote more liberal attitudes within their societies.
During the Arab Spring, like many others of this new generation, local artists had high hopes for the future and took part in the protests. However, after years of turmoil and instability, young Arabs now have to challenge both old and new problems, being torn between feelings of disillusion and a vague hope for a better future.
Yallah! Underground won the Hessian Film Award for Best Documentary 2015.
The film premiered at the 2015 Visions du Reel Film Festival in Switzerland and has since been screened or will be screened at international film festivals in Munich, Bergen, London, Dubai, Warsaw, Oaxaca, Copenhagen, Cologne, Montreal, Dharamshala, Kassel, Wiesbaden, Nancy, Helsinki, and many more.

Israeli rockets hit Gaza
Israeli helicopters have launched rocket attacks on Palestinian targets in the Gaza Strip.
The Israelis say they were attacking three buildings which made mortars to be fired into Jewish settlements.
Hours before the new attacks, the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, cancelled a planned summit meeting with President George Bush in the United States next week.
An announcement from Mr Sharon's office said the trip - which was also to include talks in the UK - had been postponed indefinitely because of the security situation in Israel.
A BBC correspondent in Jerusalem says there is speculation Mr Sharon may be trying to avoid being pressured to withdraw Israeli troops from Palestinian areas.
The Israeli Defence Minister, Binyamin Ben Eliezer, has however announced that the army will withdraw later on Sunday from Qalqilya, one of the five towns in the West Bank it occupied last month after the assassination of a cabinet minister.
On Saturday, Palestinians said a security officer was killed when Israeli troops opened fire on a police post south of Gaza City.
The Israeli army said it responded after shots were fired from there at the Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom.
Mr Sharon had been expected to meet President Bush on 11 November, as well as UK Prime Minister Tony Blair during a stopover en route to the United States.
On Saturday, a Palestinian official said Yasser Arafat would be travelling to the UN General Assembly debate from 10-12 November. President George W. Bush is also expected to attend.
As it seeks to shore up support in the Arab world for the war on terror, the United States is anxious for Israel to resume talks with the Palestinians, and to pull out of four towns it has occupied in the West Bank.
Also on Saturday, thousands of Israelis gathered in Tel Aviv to commemorate former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was killed by an Israeli extremist six years ago.
The demonstrators called for renewed peace talks with the Palestinians, and an end to the occupation of west Bank territory.
Arafat-Peres talks
In another development Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat have met for the first time in more than a month.
The two men held talks on the sidelines of an annual Mediterranean forum held on the Spanish island of Mallorca.
Mr Arafat urged Israel to "withdraw its troops from areas under Palestinian sovereignty, raise the blockade imposed for the last 14 months and suspend its policy of murdering Palestinian activists".
But Mr Peres replied: "You must understand there are limits to what we can do. We want to be your neighbours and friends, but we don't want to commit suicide".
Israeli troops have been withdrawn from two towns - Bethlehem and nearby Beit Jala. Israel moved forces into and around the Palestinian-run towns in the West Bank on 17 October in response to the assassination of cabinet minister Rehavam Zeevi.
Mr Sharon has said Palestinian security guarantees must include the arrest and handover of those behind the assassination.

Price variations in a stock market with many agents
Large variations in stock prices happen with sufficient frequency to raise doubts about existing models, which all fail to account for non-Gaussian statistics. We construct simple models of a stock market, and argue that the large variations may be due to a crowd effect, where agents imitate each other's behavior. The variations over different time scales can be related to each other in a systematic way, similar to the Levy stable distribution proposed by Mandelbrot to describe real market indices. In the simplest least realistic case, exact results for the statistics of the variations are derived by mapping onto a model of diffusing and annihilating particles, which has been solved by quantum field theory methods. When the agents imitate each other and respond to recent market volatility, different scaling behavior is obtained. In this case, the statistics of price variations is consistent with empirical observations. The interplay between "rational" traders whose behavior is derived from fundamental analysis of the stock, including dividends, and "noise traders", whose behavior is governed solely by studying the market dynamics and the behavior of other traders, is investigated. When the relative number of rational traders is small, "bubbles" often occur, where the market price moves outside the range justified by fundamental market analysis. When the number of rational traders is larger, the market price is generally locked within the price range they define.

Dive into a world of sky pirates, menacing cephalopods and bustier-clad lasses in Queen Victoria's Floating Garden of Secrets and Natural Wonders, the world's first full-length steampunk opera. Set in a dystopian future, the show tackles issues such as climate change while mashing up influences from Jules Verne to Gilbert and Sullivan with wild abandon.
"The ship that the show takes place on is both an exploratory ship and a floating reformatory for teaching etiquette and manners to wayward young women," says Mary Lin, the opera's creator. "In all of the zany frivolity, there are messages about colonialism, misappropriation of nature and oppression of women. There are tons of layers. There's so much going on, you'll feel like you have to see it again to catch all the detail."
Oh, and don't let that "opera" word scare you -- the show is as accessible as the form gets, full of weird science, outlandish costumes and irresistible tunes. "It's really a musical," Lin explains. "We're using operatic voices, but it's really accessible and fun."

Every wine has a story, and some of the region's finest winemakers invite you to uncover theirs during the second annual Northwest Wine Encounter at Semiahmoo Resort, Golf, and Spa, April 28-30, 2017. Expect a weekend of wine, cuisine, education, and interaction with a lineup of luminaries in the Pacific Northwest wine industry.
Friday begins as it should, over a glass of red or white, where you'll hear firsthand details about selected favorites from the experts such as Chris Figgins of Leonetti Cellar and David "Merf" Merfeld of Northstar Winery in Walla Walla, Walter Gehringer of Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery in Oliver, British Columbia, Tony Rynders of Panther Creek Cellars in Dundee, Ore., and Chris Upchurch of DeLille Cellars in Woodinville. Once the sun begins to set, follow the glow of the bonfire: sip, discuss and admire the seaside from the immaculate grounds of Semiahmoo Resort.
The next day, these vintners join viticulturist Mike Sauer of historic Red Willow Vineyard in the Yakima Valley and celebrity chef/author Roy Breiman on the panel for educational seminars designed to expand your knowledge of Pacific Northwest wine country and the nuances of their exceptional wines. Acclaimed retailer/collector Doug Charles of Compass Wines will serve as the keynote speaker, and Andy Perdue, wine writer for The Seattle Times, will moderate the panels.
Events culminate with an intimate Vintner's Dinner Gala expertly crafted by Semiahmoo's Executive Chef Bruno Feldeisen. During this special five-course meal, enjoy conversation with the winemaker at your table and savor perfectly-paired wines from all attending wineries.
Between occasions and well into Sunday, enjoy some of the many activities Semiahmoo has to offer, including the spa, or a game of golf or fireside conversation with new friends—over a bottle, of course. Registration includes a casual meet-and-greet tasting of wines from some of the Pacific Northwest's top producers, Saturday's morning and afternoon tasting seminars, and a multi-course, wine-pairing gala dinner.
For more than 30 years, the Figgins family has been producing wines of consistently high quality at Leonetti Cellar, the first commercial winery in Walla Walla, Wash. Figgins Family Wine Estates is dedicated to growing, producing, and marketing world-class wine and beef using sustainable farming practices. And Chris Figgins' latest project is Toil Oregon, a new Pinot Noir brand in Oregon's Willamette Valley.
Walter and Gordon Gehringer are included in a group of qualified winemakers that are B.C. born yet have learned their craft in Europe. The past 29 years of passionate winemaking is reflected in the unparalleled level of consistency. Today, the winery boasts an impressive line-up consisting of the following brands: Gehringer Brothers Classic, Private Reserve, Optimum, Dry Rock, Minus Nine and Signature Icewines.
Just as the Northstar has been used through the ages as a directional guide, Northstar Winery was established in the early 1990s to guide the creation of world-class Merlot-based wines that demonstrate the potential of the variety in Washington State.
Panther Creek Cellars, recognized for its exceptional regional blends, especially Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, celebrated its 30th anniversary in June. Founded in 1986 by legendary winemaker Ken Wright, Panther's winemaker today, Tony Rynders, continues to craft unique and age-worthy wines.
DeLille Cellars is a boutique, artisan winery located in Woodinville, Washington. The winery was founded in 1992 by Charles and Greg Lill, Jay Soloff and celebrated winemaker Chris Upchurch. The mission at DeLille Cellars has always been to create a new Bordeaux blend using Washington State vineyards. From the beginning, the winery has looked towards the prestigious Red Mountain AVA as the foundation of its wines, using grapes from its own vineyards in combination with fruit from other top sites in the Yakima Valley.
In 1992, after visiting the vineyards of Northern Italy and the Chianti region, Mike returned home impressed with the identity assigned to each small vineyard and the importance given to the slope and direction of slope. Given varieties were planted on certain slopes. Inspired by this trip to Italy, along with the death of longtime friend, Monsignor Mulcahy plans were made to develop some of the last and most difficult acres and to build a stone chapel honoring the memory of the Monsignor.
Our weekend packages are sold out!
However, we'd still love you to join us.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Replace and Tune a Snare Drum Head
Playing percussion is fun, exciting, and very rewarding. Listen to most any funk or rock record and you'll hear the drummer at the forefront. But, how does he sound so clear? How do they make their snare drum sound so crisp and clean? Outside of the often grandiose production and editing, the music starts from nothing but the barebones of the instrument. As with any string instrument you can name, drums need proper care and tuning as well. It's easier than you think, this article will show you how.
1Place snare drum on a flat surface
2Loosen (counterclockwise motion) the nuts and bolts around the rim of the head.
3Take rim and head off.
4While there are dozens of head producing companies, be sure to get a snare head. Any other kind of head will cause the snare to not sound as it should.
- Most heads have size and information ("snare, tom, timpani head" etc.) on the back of the package. Examine the package for a minute to see if it is the proper head for your snare drum.
5Place new head atop the drum and line up the nuts and bolts.
6Begin to screw the bolts into the grooves provided on the side of the snare (not too tight but tight enough to adjust for proper tuning).
7Tuning a drum must be completed in a very specific manner. As you see in the picture provided, the drum key is at what would be 12:00. To tune properly, go clockwise and across (12:00-6:00, 1:00-7:00, 2:00-8:00 etc.). The reason for this is so that all ends are evenly tightened so that the head is leveled physically and sonically.
8Place snare on stand and play away!
Community Q&A
What supplies do I need to change a snare drum?Anna ChenYou would need a new drum head, a drum key, and a pair of snare drum sticks to test the tightness. Oh, you also need a snare drum.
Should I use Evans or Remo heads?wikiHow ContributorI would say Remo. They last longer when they get tuned, and if you get real skin drum heads, they sound a lot better with Remo.
Ask a Question

- Many drummers find it difficult getting the "ring" out of the snare. To fix/lessen the effect of this, dampen the sound with a number of items:
- Paper/tissue paper folded in the proper spot (preferably a location you hit the least)

As Cesc Fàbregas's winning penalty hit the inside of Rui Patrício's right-hand post and crept into the opposite corner of the goal, the back room of the bar in Grodzisk Wielkopolski let out a collective groan. There weren't just Portuguese voices letting out their disappointment at Portugal's exit from UEFA EURO 2012, but Poles and English too. The people of Opalenica – where Paulo Bento's squad had their training camp – and its surrounding towns took Portugal to their hearts.
When the squad arrived at their training complex just over three weeks ago, it seemed neither hosts or guests knew what to expect. There was a sense that the Cristiano Ronaldo show was arriving in town, as homemade banners tied to trees and lampposts welcoming the Real Madrid CF star on the approach highway to Opalenica testified, but Portugal proved to be so much more – on and off the pitch.
The daily training sessions at the team base involved local youngsters as helpers, and the open sessions conducted weekly in the mini-stadium drew packed crowds of enthusiastic Poles, from young autograph hunters to a pensioner whose command of the bagpipes enchanted Pepe and Raul Meireles.
The squad returned from Warsaw to work last Saturday after the win against the Czech Republic, and the players unveiled a banner in the colours of the Portuguese flag emblazoned with the words 'Dziekujemy Opalenicy!' ('Thank you, Opalenica!'). It was heartily applauded, and a local journalist thanked midfielder Custódio on behalf of his team in the last press conference before the team left for Donetsk for the semi-final.
"We didn't know much about Poland before we came here," said the SC Braga man by way of explanation. "But everyone's been very good to us." If Ronaldo remained the star attraction, Bruno Alves, Pepe, Nani and Meireles were also later singled out as local favourites.
The pleasant surroundings have informed a consistently upbeat mood in the Portugal camp. Players consistently told us of the "unity" in the dressing room, and the daily sessions and press conferences revealed a set of players happy in each other's company. Whether it was Rui Patrício being lightly teased and jostled for breaking a ball-juggling circle or Miguel Veloso collapsing in laughter at Nani's attempt to converse with a Spanish journalist in his native tongue, their work seemed like fun. It has been a pleasure to watch them on their journey.

My hubby remains in the hospital. So many different doctors and nurses coming and going, I've lost count.
His renal failure is improving slightly, but he now has a bladder infection which is being treated. They have removed some of the myriad of medications which he normally takes. They are using a different insulin(one he used to take) that is not as effective as his current ones, so his blood sugars are running a little high. He is still eating very small amounts. I tasted some of the stuff they bring him. I wouldn't feed it to a stray dog.
Although the renal failure is a big problem, the heart now appears to have a growth of some sort on one of the valves. So, sometime in the next three days, a chemical stress test as well as a more invasive echocardiogram involving an endoscope will be done, provided that the tongue tumor will allow it.
It's possible that the MDA oncologist which we consulted will become involved as MDA in Arizona is associated with the Banner Health System as is the hospital where hubby is.
He is very depressed and frightened at this point and so afraid that his cancer will be untreatable by the time his other problems have been resolved, providing the doctors can figure this all out.
His brother visited tonight and I could have smacked him. He does have mental problems, so you have to give him some leeway where social graces are concerned . He is definitely a "Me, Me, Me" personality. When hubby told him there was a possibility that he might not come out of this and that he loved him very much, his brother responded by asking if he could have a small statue that their father had given to him and could he go to our house now and get it. My hubby was so hurt and shocked that he told him yes. He left a few minutes later, and sure enough, when I got home it was gone. Talk about being rude and unfeeling.
So we are taking it one day at a time. I am very alone, except for my son and grandson nearby, who also visited for the second time today. I am trying to remain upbeat and positive for both of us.
Dec 23, 2012 - 3:06 am
I hope the doctors figure things out in your husbands favor. I would be depressed and frightened with so much unknown.
It is too bad about his brother at least you knew he was mental (me, me, me). You just can't know how folks will respond.
One day at a time sounds like a good plan for the time being, while your doctors are still working things out.
My hopes and prayers are with you.
Dec 23, 2012 - 1:48 pm
Thanks so much for your replies and encouragement.
I really hated to post my "downer" stuff, especially when most everyone is trying to enjoy the holidays.
Yes, Vivian, I'm sure we're related. In reality, we're probably related to a lot of others who have that one "relative" we would gladly do wothout.
As for food, he is on what is called a "renal diet". Reading the short menu yesterday, it allows various types of cereal, but he can have no milk. So, go figure. They would probably frown on me sneaking food in. He's been served food in many hospitals, but I'll have to say that the food here is the worst. I couldn't even stomach the stuff in the cafeteria, so I started bringing something from home.
Heading back to the hospital in a little bit and will update again when I know more.
Dec 23, 2012 - 3:16 am
for many of us, there was a pretty decent gap between diagnosis and the beginning of treatment....not a single one of us was calm about the hurry up and wait part of this. I was 5 weeks out of my diagnosis when they put my port in and knicked my lung. That took a week in the hospital to heal...then I had to wait till the next week to start chemo....total of nearly 7 weeks between diagnosis and beginning of treatment. I think Tonsil Dad had nearly a 4 month gap between diagnosis and the beginning of treatment....He needs to be as healthy as he can be to go into treatment, so getting these other things addressed is important. Many people on here told me the waiting part, and the anxiety it generates was the hardest part of treatment...and it was, emotionally anyway....
Your BIL sounds like a real turd...I am so SO sorry your hubby had to go thru that....mental problems or not. There's a good chance your hubby will outlive him and have the opportunity to ask for the statue back....I hope that's the case!!
Dec 23, 2012 - 3:40 am
Dec 23, 2012 - 7:14 am
What a strain! How awful for the two of you to have to deal with your bil on top of everything else. Hoping for good things for you.
Dec 23, 2012 - 8:18 am
I know how hard this must be for you. It is so hard to balance everything when things are chaotic and emotional. The family issues I get too (Are you related to me? LOL). I am learning to let go of those who aren't supportive to me and David. I need people in my corner who want the best for us. I think that is what you need too. Thankfully at least you have all of us. This family loves you and your hubby. Try to not worry so much. I learned it doesn't change the outcome. It just can make you sick. We love you and are praying for better days for you two.

The Seattle SuperSonics and Mayor Greg Nickels are likely to ask state lawmakers for more than $200 million to pay for a major renovation of KeyArena and pay down the debt from the building's 1995 remodel.

Sonics officials say they have not settled on a specific strategy, but the basic proposal calls for state lawmakers in the upcoming legislative session to redirect King County hotel- and sales-tax revenues that helped finance the construction of Qwest Field and Safeco Field, respectively, to KeyArena. Sonics officials have been talking to City Council members about the plan, which Nickels supports.
Some of those tax revenues are still committed to paying off the baseball and football facilities for more than a decade. The Sonics and Nickels want the Legislature to approve a plan that would direct the revenues to city-owned KeyArena once Safeco Field is paid off in 2018 and Qwest Field in 2020.
The tax on hotel and motel rooms in the county funds a variety of organizations and projects. The tax is still being used to pay off construction of the Kingdome and repairs on its roof, though it was demolished in 2000 to make room for Qwest Field.
While financing details have not been worked out, Deputy Mayor Tim Ceis said the city hopes to sell tax-anticipation bonds, which would in essence provide the revenue up front and allow the city to pay off the debt once it begins receiving the dedicated hotel- and sales-tax revenue.
The plan favored by the Sonics and Nickels would retire KeyArena's $58 million debt while also paying for $180 million in improvements. Sonics Executive Vice President Terry McLaughlin said he would "love this process to begin in the next six months" and the Sonics have already hired veteran Olympia lobbyists to push the idea.
McLaughlin and Ceis said the proposal appears politically palatable because it does not create new taxes and would give KeyArena the same tax revenues that Safeco Field and Qwest Field have enjoyed.
Taxpayers financed a $74 million renovation of KeyArena nine years ago. But McLaughlin said that wasn't enough to make the facility competitive in today's market. He noted that Portland's Rose Garden, home of the NBA's Trail Blazers, cost $268 million and is much larger.
KeyArena has 380,000 square feet of space, while the average NBA building is almost twice that size, McLaughlin said.
KeyArena was built on the site of the former Coliseum, which was constructed for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair.
The plan envisioned by the Sonics would extend the perimeter of the building so the concourse would be wider and allow for more concession stands, bars and restaurants.
McLaughlin said KeyArena's seating capacity just over 17,000 for Sonics games would not increase much, perhaps by 500 seats or so. The number of luxury boxes would decrease from 58 to 32, he said. Some of that space might be left open so ticketholders walking the concourse could look in on the action, similar to the setup at Safeco Field.
The arena's south end would see the biggest change. A plan developed by Seattle Center calls for excavating the arena's south courtyard area all the way down to the level of the basketball court. That would allow for 390 parking stalls, staging areas for trucks and function rooms that would host catered events and parties.
It would probably take a year to refine the design, then about two years to complete construction, McLaughlin said. But the building would close for only three to four months, so the Sonics would not have to move. The Seattle Storm of the Women's National Basketball Association would probably lose a season at KeyArena, according to McLaughlin.
He said the Storm, which is owned by the Sonics, would likely approach the University of Washington about playing at Edmundson Pavilion.
Two factors drive the proposal. First, there's Seattle Center's $9.4 million deficit, which is mainly blamed on KeyArena's sagging performance. City and Sonics officials say the arena relies heavily on luxury-suite revenues, which have declined sharply because of competition from suites at Safeco and Qwest fields.
City leaders want to see a financial recovery for KeyArena because its problems create a drag on the entire city budget.
The Sonics' lease at KeyArena expires in 2010. McLaughlin said the team wants to stay there and would "keep trying to make it work until we find it can't."
The second factor is the Sonics' balance sheet. McLaughlin said the team has lost $50 million in the past five years. Improving the arena would help the team's bottom line, he said.
McLaughlin maintained that the problems aren't because of the team's spending practices. He said 20 of 30 NBA teams have higher payrolls than the Sonics.
He also said the way the team's contract with the city is structured makes it difficult for the team to profit, unless it sells every seat and suite for almost every game. Under the deal, the city gets a hefty chunk of the revenues from luxury suites, premium "club" seats, concessions, parking and the arena's naming rights.
"No matter how well we do, I come back to the fact that we have limited capacity to earn under this arrangement. Normally all those revenues go to the bottom line of the team," McLaughlin said.
Sonics and city leaders have not approached legislators about their idea.
Upon learning of the proposal, state Rep. Helen Sommers, D-Seattle, said she thought it would raise concerns.
"It's so far off that it's not such an acute or immediate issue. However, for those looking at funding for school, health or other issues, it will be a red flag," said Sommers, chairwoman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee.
The proposal might also pit the Sonics against other groups that might have designs on the hotel- and sales-tax revenues now dedicated to Safeco and Qwest fields. Arts and culture groups, for example, now get a slice of those revenues and might want more in the future.
Ceis said he hoped there wouldn't be a battle between sports and arts groups for the money.

British Airways Tackles Peanut Allergies With New In-Flight Announcement
According to Forbes magazine, British Airways is the first international airline to request that passengers do not eat food items containing peanuts if they are seated next to a passenger with a peanut allergy.
The policy is set to be enforced from this Thursday (18th February) and will be made known to passengers via a new in-flight announcement.
If you're travelling via British Airways with someone who has a nut allergy, you can make this known to airline staff who will ensure the relevant in-flight announcement is made.
This must have the potential to make a big difference to families of little ones with peanut allergies when it comes to travelling by plane, and I imagine that other airlines will follow suit.
We'd love to hear your views on this story. If you have a peanut allergy sufferer in the family, would this persuade you to fly with British Airways? Or do you think the policy might be un-enforceable in practical terms? Come and share your views over on our Facebook page.

So, I've been up since 3:30 or so and can't seem to get back to sleep. Not that I have really tried, but I just don't feel like going back to bed. For the last few days I have felt that I needed to work on a letter detailing my trip to Mexico before the details fade. I guess I should stop procrastinating and get on with it.

Ford Motor Co. joins Chrysler LLC in criticizing the recent agreement struck between General Motors Canada and the Canadian Auto Workers as too weak.
The pact between GM and the CAW provides labor-cost relief to the auto maker, but Chrysler and Ford argue the deal does not go far enough to help the beleaguered auto makers realize the cost savings needed to weather the ongoing economic recession.
The agreement calls for a wage freeze, less paid time off, the elimination of cost-of-living raises and the transfer of more health-care costs to employees. Eight-seven percent of GM's CAW-represented workers voted to accept the agreement.
On Wednesday, Chrysler President and Vice Chairman Tom LaSorda warned Chrysler could be forced to cease operations in Canada if the union did not agree to concessions beyond what was granted GM.
In a statement, Joe Hinrichs, Ford group vice president-global manufacturing and labor affairs, says the "agreement between General Motors Canada and the CAW will not keep Ford's Canadian operations competitive in today's global economy.
"The GM-CAW agreement will not deliver sufficient labor cost savings compared to auto manufacturing operations in the United States," he says. "Therefore, we look forward to working with the CAW to find additional cost savings in order to maintain the competitiveness of our manufacturing operations in Canada."
"We have a long history of working collaboratively with the CAW, and we're confident that we can reach an agreement that keeps our Canadian operations competitive."

78 Brat electrical snafu... HELP!!!
Posted 13 June 2010 - 08:53 PM
Started her up this afternoon..... engine running great.... Headlights worked.... turn signals came on but didn't blink... dome light worked.... even the windshield wipers worked.
Couple minor issues..... but all in all..... pretty good.
Went out to test the fuses after dinner...... and poof.
Now NOTHING works.... no lights.... no wipers..... and the car will turn over all day long but won't fire and start.
Like my entire electrical system took a crap.
It has to all be related..... something?? suggestions??? HELP!!!
Posted 21 June 2010 - 06:24 PM
I got a tip that the fusable link may be causing my problems. After locating it... it looks TERRIBLE (see picture).
So can I just replace it with a wire. If so, what gauge?
Or.... should I just put a new fuse in there? If so what size?
Any suggestions?
Posted 21 June 2010 - 08:31 PM
Posted 22 June 2010 - 09:18 AM
Its hot rod black.... which is a flat/matte black...... and silver brat decals/striping are on their way here ill definitely post up once I get them on
Just gotta figure out this electrical issue first.

I would NOT just replace it with a regular wire. Not a big fan of fusable links either. I would replace it with either a maxi fuse of around 40/50 amps (good) or a circuit breaker (better). The benefit of the curcuit breaker is once it cools down, it will reset and get you back runing again. With a fuse or link, you better have a spare with you. Non blinking turn signals may be as simple as a bad flasher can or a burned out bulb.
Good call, yeah, I had the same issue with my 85 BRAT.
I had smoked the main fusible link.
I just replaced mine with a 60amp stereo fuse.
10 gage wire clips will clip right onto the big fuses, then all you have to do is
adapt to your main plug.
Although a breaker would be a better option, price wise, a fuse is gonna be
cheaper in the here and now.

Posted 01 July 2010 - 01:28 PM
It handles all of it beautifully.
Posted 09 July 2010 - 10:52 PM
I replaced the fusable link with a 40 amp circuit breaker... cleaned up a nasty corroded fuse box, replaced all the fuses with new (and appropriate) fuses.... and dug out a crapload of nasty corroded light bulbs, and replaced both flasher units.
Long story short...... EVERYTHING works
High beams, low beams, marker lights, license plate lights, dome light, dashboard lights, turn signals, and brake lights..... EVERYTHING
..... except my reverse lights.... and I KNOW the bulbs are good.
Suggestions?????? Where should I start????
Posted 12 July 2010 - 09:10 PM
Posted 12 July 2010 - 10:38 PM
Jiggled the wire and kidna pushed it on the tranny a little.... backup lights came right on

Plugs in on the passenger side of ther tranny, near the crossmember... about the size of a chapstick cap, with a wire coming off the top of it.
I just turned the car on (not running)... put it in reverse.... and started pushing and jiggling until the lights popped on.
Also got a new thermostat installed yesterday, and a new heater hose, eliminating the unneeded inline arctic heater (I have no idea if it worked, and it could be clogging something)
Start it up today after the RTV dries.... hopefully that will solve the overheating problem
Oh..... also got the horn working with my aftermarket steering wheel

DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Four policemen were arrested on Sunday for their negligent behaviour during an attack by the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on the central jail in Dera Ismail Khan, DawnNews reported.
According to police sources, investigations revealed that the arrested officials namely Qaisar Khan, Sufaid Khan, Ateequr Rehman and Khan Bahadur were found guilty of negligence during the jailbreak.
Earlier on July 30, Pakistani Taliban insurgents had freed nearly 250 inmates, including 35 'high-profile militants', during a brazen overnight attack on the central jail in Dera Ismail Khan.
Meanwhile, amid threats of possible terrorist attacks, security has been beefed up at the Central Jail Karachi.
Police have been deployed on the streets and the bridge leading from Central Jail to Rashid Minhas road in Karachi has also been closed to traffic.

SAN ANTONIO — Laws in Texas requiring sex education courses to emphasize that being gay is "not acceptable" and that homosexual conduct is a criminal offense represent an anti-gay culture in the Legislature that could be changing, two openly gay lawmakers said.

Taxpayer education
So far, no angry mobs of teachers have egged my house, yet. But this week's column, "More schooling needed on district budget cuts", focuses on some of the excuses and finances and hard decisions and run-on sentences of the Waukesha School District. Oh wait, I have the run-on sentences. They're making the "drastic cuts."
I have a question that I didn't ask in my column. If the budget situation has been as dire as the school district has made them out to be, where did they find the money last year to hire the "first year" teachers they are laying off this year?

Sea change
HUMAN activity in coastal areas is responsible for killing coral, say a pair
of researchers who've been tracking coral disease. This means that local
measures such as reducing soil run-off or sewage discharges might help save
corals that fall ill. Sick coral also provides an early warning that entire
ecosystems are in danger, according to the researchers.
For 20 years, marine biologists have watched in dismay as corals succumbed to
a dozen apparently new infections. Now a global map of coral diseases has
pointed the finger at human development of coastal zones.
Most coral diseases are known by their symptoms, such as white band or yellow
pox. According to Laurie Richardson of Florida International University in
Miami, only three of these coral ailments have a known cause.
The diseases can be devastating. During the 1980s, white band disease, caused
by a bacterium related to cholera, nearly wiped out Acropora corals

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I've thoroughly enjoyed con experiences over the last few years, but I'm just now leaping into the cosplay fray! I'm honored that my first cosplay experience gave me a chance to do something I've wanted to do for years. I chose the Lord Knight from Ragnarok Online not only because its the class I play in the MMO, but also because they're the very embodiment of chivalry! I had my armor commissioned and I worked on the fabric pieces (such as the tabard and cape) myself. Ragnarok has beautiful character and class designs, and some really rich and ambitious costumes to attempt. I'll definitely be bringing this cosplay back in the future, and I'll keep trying to improve it. All the best!

I was fortunate to have experienced the love of God and now have the privilege to shepherd others in living out the gospel. There were a number of twists and turns in the road to reach this point. But every season of my life is in response to God's love, not a striving to achieve or obtain it. He who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion. Through the power of Christ's resurrection, my shame-based culture's search for affirmation is transformed and redeemed by grace. I am God's workmanship, approved and unashamed (2 Tim. 2:15).

|Last 24 Hours:
The League of the South has spent years warning about Southern cultural genocide.
Unlike our friends in the Southern heritage movement, Southern Nationalists do not believe that we can coexist in a multiracial democracy. We do not believe we can preserve our Southern heritage while becoming a racial and cultural minority in our own lands. In every society, someone always rules. In the past, we ruled ourselves and erected public monuments to our forefathers.
As the Robert E. Lee monument comes down in New Orleans, I have compiled a list of the lessons we have learned from this episode. This is a verdict on multiracial democracy.
1.) Dylann Roof Didn't Cause This
Dylann Roof has nothing to do with this.
We have no reason to believe Dylann Roof ever visited New Orleans or Louisiana. Malcolm Suber, the black communist activist behind Take 'Em Down NOLA, succeeded in getting the Orleans Parish School Board to rename George Washington Elementary School in the 1990s. In fact, the Orleans Parish School Board had renamed 27 public schools in New Orleans by 2005.
Last September, Take 'Em Down NOLA held a rally in New Orleans to tear down the Andrew Jackson statue. Malcolm Suber told The New York Times he wants to tear down the George Washington statue by the New Orleans Public Library. Take 'Em Down NOLA also wants to either tear down or rename Tulane University, the World War I Memorial, the Andrew Jackson statue and dozens of other streets, schools, hospitals, universities and monuments in New Orleans. They also want $5 million dollars a year for an Africanization initiative called "Build 'Em Up NOLA" which would "create jobs for black youth, erect historical markers to more accurately celebrate the city's history, and support black artists and historians in creating narratives and images about that history."
Yesterday, The New Republic published a fawning article on the black communists behind Take 'Em Down NOLA which makes it clear that Charleston was only a "catalyst" which was used to advance a preexisting agenda. According to Michael "Quess" Moore, the Confederate monuments in New Orleans "were easier to stigmatize because they were all in the Confederacy." The incipient Take Em' Down NOLA group, however, had been meeting at the Robert E. Lee monument since Michael Brown was shot in Ferguson in 2014. They were educated by the black communists Malcolm Suber and Leon Waters who have been pushing their agenda in New Orleans since the 1980s and 1990s.
This is a racial power struggle. Malcolm Suber and Leon Waters are black communists. They frame their cause in terms of a 1811 slave revolt led by a Haitian slave driver.
2.) The Lügenpresse Creates False Anti-White Narratives
In the wake of Charleston, the Lügenpresse created the narrative that Confederate monuments had to be removed and the Republican Party sprung into action across the South.
I said at the time that there was a racial double standard. This only happens on the rare occasions when Whites kill blacks as Dylann Roof did in Charleston. When blacks target and kill Whites, the Lügenpresse doesn't create and drive anti-black narratives to remove black monuments. To cite just a few recent examples, anti-police and anti-white black supremacist shooters like Kori Allen Muhammad in Fresno, Ismaaiyl Brinsley in New York City, Vester Lee Flanagan II in Roanoke, Micah X. in Dallas and Cosmo Setepenra in Baton Rouge are treated as disturbed, isolated individuals rather than as representatives of their race or any leftwing political cause like Black Lives Matter.
When Muslim terrorists strike out and kill Whites in the name of jihad, the Lügenpresse is adamant that Islam is a religion of police and that Muslims are not to blame. In the rare instances when a White shooter like Dylann Roof kills blacks, White Southerners are held collectively responsible.
3.) The Democratic Party Embraces The Leftwing Fringe
Mayor Mitch Landrieu and the New Orleans City Council are enacting the agenda of black communists who support the Africanization of New Orleans. The Democratic Party embraces the radical leftwing fringe while hypocritically demanding that that the Republican Party disavow "extremists." We see this all the time at rallies where Black Bloc anarchists and communists flying the Soviet flag stand in solidarity in crowds with their fellow Democrats who protect them from the police.
4.) Someone Always Rules
In case you needed another reminder, black supremacists are behind the movement to remove Confederate monuments in New Orleans. They are driven by racial and cultural animus against White Southerners. The alternative to white supremacy in the past is black supremacy in the present. Naturally, the Lügenpresse ignores the "hate" which comes from their side.
5.) Black Confederates Are Nazi Scum Too
It is not about you. How many times do we have to say it? These people hate you. They want to destroy your heritage. They even want to cause you physical harm.
As we saw in New Orleans, KK the Indian, Arlene Barnum and Black Rebel, all of whom are non-White monument defenders, were attacked by Antifa. They got multiple death threats. When I was briefly at the Jefferson Davis monument, I saw bicyclists speed by and hurl the worst kinds of abuse.
The Left can be as violent, racist and hateful as it wants while our side is strangely expected to look, behave, dress and associate like the church choir. The Left can mace elderly women, throw sucker punches and hurl rocks. They can spray paint "Black Power" on our monuments. They can attack police officers and be as nasty and vulgar as they want. They can welcome every extremist under the sun – black communists, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, New Black Panthers, Republic of New Afrika, etc. – into their ranks. They can form mobs and look like they just crawled out from underneath a rock!
Meanwhile, the Right will debate this or that person's affiliations, the optics of the event, whether or not we have any "racists" in our ranks, whether it is a good thing to be associated with this or that person, the language that is used, whether there is any violence, etc. The Right does all this while the Left riots in the streets, busts windows, sets buildings on fire and violently attacks people.
New Orleans was the ultimate repudiation of Rainbow Confederates. These people do not care … that you are not a racist, that you are non-White, that you have non-White friends, non-White family members, that you are a nice, tolerant, decent and wonderful Christian. They do not care how many blacks fought for the Confederacy. All they know is that you are the enemy and it is all the same to them.
For the last time, it is not about you. It is about them. They are ideologically motivated black supremacists and militant communists and anarchists. They are going to behave this way regardless of what you say. They are going to be supported by the Democratic Party regardless of what you do. We have a bad habit of exaggerating the importance of what we say and do.
6.) Yes, Politics Is a Zero Sum Game
I'm tired of hearing the talking point that "politics isn't a zero sum game." Yes, it is a zero sum game. The destruction of our monuments is as zero sum as it gets.
7.) Yes, It Is About Race
I'm sick and tired of hearing this canard as well.
Every single member of the Black Caucus opposed the monument bill in the Louisiana House. They walked in unison out of the House chamber. The removal of monuments in New Orleans and the renaming of schools, hospitals, universities, streets and buildings is totally about black identity politics, black racial consciousness, black political power and the agenda of Organized Blackness.
Yes, we should judge everyone as individuals. Yes, there are black individuals who support the monuments as well as White Southerners who oppose the monuments. At the same time though, we are more than individuals and racial identity is a real force in Louisiana politics.
Blacks never hesitate take their own side. Whites should take our side in politics as well.
8.) The Republican Party Is Useless
After what happened with Gov. Nikki Haley and the Confederate Battle Flag in South Carolina, this much should have been obvious. The Republican Party, which is subservient to the Chamber of Commerce, has always wanted to erase our Southern heritage.
Republicans in the Louisiana House of Representatives passed a toothless monuments bill. This is another example of token gesture politics. The bill only formalizes the process of removing monuments in Louisiana. It wouldn't have stopped New Orleans or Shreveport from removing Confederate monuments. Once again, Republicans want to get credit for doing something while doing nothing.
9.) The SCV Is Useless
As we saw in New Orleans, the SCV didn't show up to oppose Take 'Em Down NOLA.
These people are Boomer conservatives. They busy themselves appealing to federal courts, state legislatures and city councils which are deaf to their cause. Strangely, they believe they can "defend our heritage" through legalistic means while simultaneously losing the culture.
It is a losing argument. The destruction of Confederate monuments is the logical and inevitable outcome of the SCV failing to morally defend the racial and cultural aspects of the Confederate cause. Instead of taking the hard road, they chose "respectability" and have been defending disingenuous takes on history and attempting to prove they are not "racists" for the past thirty years.
10.) We Are Ultimately Responsible
At the end of the day, this is our fault.
It is not a New Orleans problem. It is not even just a Southern problem. We can see the same problem all over the West and it stems from the same fundamental causes. We have become Nietzsche's Last Man. The people of the West want to believe that politics will go away, that everyone can live together in peace and harmony, that "race doesn't matter" and other delusions.
We're not the same men as our ancestors. Their culture was based on a sense of honor. They wouldn't have tolerated such a disgrace. In contrast, our prosperity has made us weak. Liberal democracy has made us more individualistic and materialistic over time. The fact that we can be shamed into submission by mere words is a clue. Can you imagine the Confederate generation being defeated by accusations of "racism"? Why didn't it ever occur to the slaves to accuse their masters of "racism"?
We have lost our sense of identity, our former morality and our religion too. We've degenerated into this highly individualistic, materialistic mass of trembling consumers. We've thrown away our real culture in exchange for this garbage on television. The White residents of New Orleans fled the rising tide of black crime to take up residence in the suburbs. Most of the people who support the Confederate monuments are afraid to come out and identify with their own cause in public.
In a sense, yes, it is about us. They have a stronger sense of racial identity than us. They are more assertive, organized, unified and confident. The opposition suffers from fewer delusions about politics. Their politicians are also generally faithful to the people they represent. As time goes on though, these people will continue to push but will steadily encounter more resistance. Whites will become less bashful about taking our own side in these disputes. We will become stronger, angrier, more unified and organized, more assertive and less captivated by delusions about race and politics. We will become less and less willing to support cuckservative politicians who fail to defend our interests once in office.
The pendulum will swing back. Just as strong men create the conditions which lead to weak men, it is weak men who create the conditions which lead to the reemergence of strong men.
Note: We've already seen a taste of this with the election of Trump and with Berkeley. There is a burning desire in White America for strong leadership.

Is there a way to delete search history from google maps?
Stop stalking people and you wouldn't need to, ya creeper..
Try going into manage applications -> Maps -> Clear Cache.
LOL Necosino, you sound like my 16yo daughter.
Hanging out with mostly girls will do that to ya...
I know what you mean, I live in a household with mostly females.
Search comes up with a lot of misspelled crap.
Clear Cache is not highlighted.
Clear data is, but not sure if this is the right thing to do ???
This will clear all files, settings, accounts, databases and so on !!!
can clear it, may have to resign into latitude if you use it.
as a new member I was about to post the same question when I found this thread. I cleared the cache and still have all the previous searches listed. Tried powering off and rebooting, but that didn't help. so clearing the cache on Maps does not delete previous searches
Have to clear the *data* not cache, and there is a clear search history option in the settings too.
I finally found The Solution to clear search history from maps! When you are about to search and you see your previous search results, scroll down to the bottom and choose "Personalized with my places" from there comes new menus where you can see all your previous search and destination results. So just pick one by one and hold until you get a popup menu where you can delete from. I just did it and deleted all search results all that clearing cache and data does not delete your search results.

Crabs are capable of walking forward or diagonally, but usually they walk sideways. The term "crabs" is used in greek to describe the phenomenon of palindrome, an inscription that may be read backwards. Palindromes were viewed as being immune to tampering by the devil, who would become confused by the repetition of the letters.
NOOE | PALINDROME circles around the approach of reading data again (palin) from a certain direction (dromos). Among the displayed are a NewNewPortrait, the color Beige, a def to getLinkToSimilarImagesPage(self), mountains generated by eBay stock market charts as well as algorithmic cinema and a granny vacuuming the church floor.
We are confused, let yourself be confused too.

Downloading Mac OS X Lion hasn't exactly been the most joyful experience for some PayPal users. What was originally intended to be a $30 investment has turned into an investment worth thousands of dollars. Some PayPal users with connected iTunes accounts have been charged multiple times for Lion. At least one person has been charged in excess of $3,000.
According to AppleInsider, one PayPal customer was billed for 122 transactions for $31.79 a piece. The grand total came out to be $3,878. This was clearly a mistake, but neither Apple or PayPal are willing to shoulder the blame. The customer who was charged this huge amount of money said that Apple and PayPal were blaming each other.
This isn't an isolated incident either. More PayPal customers have come forward with overcharge claims. Some were charged three, four and even 20 times. Money is being refunded to customers. Apple is currently looking into the situation.
One user in the Apple forums stated Apple believes the demand for Lion caused a malfunction within Apple's automated payment system. That's what led to the multiple payments.

This next one was new for me, much more widespread down south, its an Essex Skipper and almost identical to the more familiar Little Skipper apart from the black tips on their antennae. They're spreading northwards but still scarce in Yorkshire and this one was just across the Humber in Lincs at Donna Nook.

One of the most egregious examples of the broken system in Sacramento is the dual role of legislator/lobbyist played by one key leader — former President Pro Tem John L. Burton when he was Assemblyman, State Senator, and President pro tem of the State Senate. I first met Burton when I was managing Barbara Boxer's campaign for Congress in 1982. Burton had announced his retirement from Congress because he suffered from a major drug problem. His chosen successor was Marin Supervisor Barbara Boxer, who I knew and had helped over the years. The problem, however, was that Burton was still active in Boxer's campaign. Several times an incoherent Burton insisted that I attend 7:00 AM meetings in his office on campaign strategy. I dutifully arrived on time. But Burton never showed up. Usually he would materialize unannounced in my office when I was not there and wander the halls intimidating my staff with his irrational behavior. Frantic phone calls and meetings were filled with ranting and incomprehensible speeches. He was clearly still using drugs during the campaign while he was a United States Congressman and presented a real danger to the success of Boxer's campaign. Nevertheless, we won by 20% over a tough opponent. After the campaign, Burton entered rehab and later obtained a six figure part-time job in Sacramento at taxpayers' expense from his close friend Speaker Willie Brown. Eventually, Burton ran successfully for the Assembly and State Senate where he became President pro tem of the Senate. During his years in the Assembly and Senate, and since being termed out of the legislature in 2004, Burton has maintained a lucrative lobbying law practice at The Merchants Exchange Building in San Francisco.
Research into Burton's filings with the Fair Political Practices Commission in Sacramento reveals that Burton owns millions of dollars of stocks and real estate. In 2002 alone, Burton reported owning stakes valued at between $10,000 and $100,000 in each of the following public companies: Alcoa Aluminum, American Express, Nautilus Leasing Services, Meeker Oil and Gas, Baxter International, Cisco Systems, Citigroup, Charles Schwab, Cardinal Health, Clear Channel Communications, Colgate-Palmolive, Dell Computer, Dow Chemical Co., First Data, General Electric, Goldman Sachs, HCA Health Care, Home Depot, IBM, Intel, Kellogg Company, Kroger, KLA Tencore, Marriott International, Microsoft, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Morgan Stanley, Nokia, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Qualcomm, Safeway Stores, SBC Communications, Sun Microsystems, Texas Instruments, Verizon, Viacom, Wal-Mart Stores, Waste Management …and others.
John Burton's real estate holdings include multiple properties in San Francisco and Sacramento as well as real estate partnerships and numerous second mortgages which require holders to make interest payments directly to Burton.
State records also confirm that while an elected State Senator, John L. Burton lobbied on behalf of corporations for transit advertising contracts on Muni Buses, artificial turf at Golden Gate Park, carpets at the San Francisco International Airport, telecom towers on Bay Area hilltops, high-rise office buildings, development projects, parking lots and more. A lucrative working relationship with a Bay Area mega-lobbyist enabled Burton to conceal the identity of many special interest clients.
When he left office Burton squirreled away a secret two million-dollar slush fund from California's most powerful special interests, which he has used in political campaigns to smear political opponents. Burton spent nearly $800,000 from this fund against a single political opponent in 2006 when he was out of office. And state taxpayers subsidize Burton's daughter, Kimiko (a former San Francisco Public Defender), who has a lucrative appointment as a California inheritance tax appraiser.
How can a State Senate Leader be an independent voice for the public interest when he is literally on the payroll of special interests while serving in elective office?

In annual report: Amnesty slams Israel, Palestinians
Amnesty International on Wednesday accused Israel of committing "war crimes" against the Palestinians and termed the killings of Israeli civilians by Palestinians were "crimes against humanity".
In its annual report on human rights published Wednesday, Amnesty International said over 600 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli Army in 2003, including 100 children. Amnesty claimed that in most cases the killings were unlawful because they were caused by accidental shooting, firing towards residential areas, and assassinations without trial.
The group said "thousands of Palestinians were detained by the Israeli army. Most were released without charge, hundreds were charged with security offences against Israel and at least 1,500 were held in administrative detention without charge or trial."
Trials in military courts "did not meet international standards. Allegations of torture and ill-treatment of Palestinian detainees were widespread and Israeli soldiers used Palestinians as 'human shields' during military operations," it said.
It regretted that "most Israeli soldiers and security force members continued to enjoy impunity. Investigations, prosecutions and convictions for human right violations were rare."
"In the overwhelming majority of the thousands of cases of unlawful killings and other grave human rights violations committed by Israeli soldiers since the intifada began, no investigations were known to have been carried out," it said.
Israel was also accused of holding "scores of Jewish Israelis who refused to perform military service or to serve in the occupied territories" as prisoners of conscience.
Amnesty criticised Israel's destruction of hundreds of Palestinian homes, commercial and public facilities as well as water, electricity and communication infrastructure "as a form of collective punishment."
According to Amnesty's report, last year, Palestinians killed 200 Israelis, including 130 civilians, 21 of whom were children. The internationsl organization branded the Palestinians' attacks against Israeli civilians as "crimes against humanity."
This "deliberate targeting of civilians by Palestinian armed groups," the report said, "constituted crimes against humanity." (Albawaba.com)

KSCC holds Blood Donation Campaign at Al Ghubaiba
Dubai: The Karnataka Sports and Cultural Club (KSCC) in association with Dubai Heath Authority (DHA) and Community Development Authority (CDA) conducted a Blood Donation Campaign at Al Ghubaiba metro station.
The campaign was inaugurated at 9 am by KSCC president, Ashraf Hassan. With four registration counters, there were six volunteer groups to highlight the public on the awareness, necessity and benefits of blood donation.
Volunteers, with their enthusiastic and competent approach, promoted their noble cause at the exit/entry doors of Al Ghubaiba Metro station, Bus station, Carrefour and traffic signals. From 9 am to 1 pm, there was an unprecedented queue to participate in the blood donation.
The very good positive response from the community exceeded expectations as about hundred plus donors had registered, despite waiting in a long queue. The systematic arrangements, efforts, and encouragement shown by the DHA to collect blood from the donors was the most appreciable.
Complimentary cups and caps, snacks and soft drinks were distributed to the donors. Pamphlets signifying the importance and benefits of blood donation were also distributed.
At the concluding speech, the Club Manager Mohammad Shafi said, "The Blood Donation Campaign received a remarkable response from the public which is highly commendable and we are very glad to have served the community by collaborating with Dubai Health Authority and Community Development Authority."

Collecting Out of Pocket Patient Fees: 4 Best Practices
1. Educate your patients
Do not blind side your patient with cost. Be upfront about what they owe and when it should be paid. This is most important for people who pay for their own healthcare or have a high deductible. Explain exactly what these patients owe beforehand. And if there are discounted rates on procedures that are costly, emphasize those so that patients feel more comfortable about the amount.
2. Train your team
Train your staff on how to ask for money. This surprisingly makes a difference. Instead of saying "you owe 30 bucks," have a script that lists exactly what they should say. Asking a person "will this be cash, check or charge?" is a less confrontational way to be direct and can lower the risk of turning them off.
Also, the entire staff should know the ins and out of insurance policies and procedures. This is still the case even if they don't handle claims. One consultant suggested training them on their own insurance so that they can communicate knowing the perspective of the patient.
3. Automate the collections process
Make sure your practice accepts credit cards. There is a higher fee for credit card payments, but your practice can offset the cost by collecting more money since more people pay this way. You can also ask to keep the information on file and with their permission, you can automate payment amounts that are agreed upon beforehand.
4. Be professional about balances
Keep a record of everything. If you agree on a payment plan with a patient, make them sign a promissory agreement. Professionalism can make all the difference.

May Review
In an attempt to keep you updated with the best of what has fallen through our letter box, here is our slightly irregular review.
The Worst Hotel In The World
Written and Designed by KesselsKramer, Published by Booth-Clibborn Editions
Anyone who can successfully live off being the proud owner of the worst hotel in the world is obviously doing something right. When Rob Penris, the owner of The Hans Brinker Hotel in Amsterdam hired KesselsKramer, he couldn't have made a better decision. The book charts the history of the two working together and the campaigns that followed, many of which you will have seen (or heard of) before. By no means the worst book in the world and well worth a look.
We Make Magazines.
Edited by Andrew Losowsky
I don't know enough about it to comment intelligently but publishing is in a pretty dark place. With more and more titles retiring from the shelves of our local news stands it's a fairly depressing time, that is of course until you open the pages of We Make Magazines and gorge yourself on the sheer number of independent publishers doing something exciting, from Carl's Cars to Varoom they're all in here. Designed by Jeremy Leslie and illustrations from Jean Jullien there's little to argue with, highly recommended.

Your Golden Opportunity Is Coming Very Soon
RJ Shaughnessy
It's hard to go wrong with a nicely bound hardback book containing 37 black and white photographs. It's also hard to describe how beautifully RJ Shaughnessy has managed to make scratches, scrapes and bumps on roadside objects look. www.rjshaughnessy.com
Journal of Science
Martin Fengels
Journal of Science boasts a bit of a challengingly academic title, but one that urges the reader to explore further. In it Martin Fengels exhibits a set of photographs of mysterious objects that he sees acting as everyday 'photographic readymades'. His ideas are summed up beautifully in the final sentence of the introduction with a quote from Andre Breton "Whoever steers the ship of photography safely through the virtually incomprehensible maelstrom of pictures will seize life once more in his jaws, as if turning a film backwards."
Millie Scarlett Davies Self Promotion
It's that time of year when we get quite a lot of post from graduating students and we love looking through it all, especially when it's as well considered and put together as Millie's. What's more is that she's not even graduating until next year which makes it that little bit more impressive. One to watch.
Simon Oxley
Definitely the first time we've had dead fish through the post, not sure if we want it to be the last? Simon Oxley is a designer, photographer and illustrator who has spent the last 10 years in Japan and kindly sent us a selection of photographs, illustrations and dead animals.

Paging Knottie, Knottie to the forum please
[/Tannoy Voice]
Andy louder matey LOUDER !!!!!
Aw he'll miss out on the Halloween spook fest Quantocks bash, complete with the sound of rutting red deer...
you sure that rutting sound isn't you clad in rubber !!!!!
I'll come old fart! If only to re-live our first meeting:
"So long as it doesn't rain"
"Yeah well you're just obsessed with people's names"
"Grrrr. It's called being friendly you miserable owd bugggggrrrrrrrrrr"
Or something like that. It's obvious we were destined to become friends!
hey ab good to hear from you again honey !!!
what you describe rings no bells with me at all !!
sure you haven't got me muddle up with someone else
Im in ! what ever the date. We need to sus a route that includes all the best combes in one day . (some of us are at work working , Oldfart , ahem).
We need to sus a route that includes all the best combes in one day
you'll be lucky. He'll insist on taking photographs every 5 minutes
I'm never, ever on the Quantocks.
I've been hankering after a ride in the Quantocks for ages. I'll definitely be keen.
I'm not local (West Sussex) but I could be up for a Quantocks extravganza.
Keep me posted please, email addy in profile if needed.
I would like to participate (date / time dependent)
Sounds good, Quantocks in the snow would be interesting. Sharki, is the Halloween thing going ahead? Could be just the place to finish off this years sloe gin...
I've been told by C_G how good the Quantocks are so on that recommendation I'd like to come too.
To include all the best combe descents in one on a classic STW social would need a 9am start at that time of year, and that's without the usual faffage and munchin stops.
Route could be..
CPG > gas line > great beer > Concrete block to frog combe green.
Up Horizon then down lower hare knapp(either descent) and down to Hodders, up lady's edge, down weecum, up to beacon hill and down smiths, up to longstone and down WILLYBOYS cleeve, up somerton, CPG for dinner...
Then... down somerton to holford glen for STW's re-enactment of Bryan Adams, Everything i do..... then up holford combe > ladies or frog combe then classic chimney loop to finish.
Rich, i planned for a Halloween ride last year but it never happened due to the unpredicable weather, if we had a guarantee people would show up, i'd be happy to try and organise one....The date is set though!
some of us are at work working
do you know any of them?
I'm in, possibly,will have to see what the car situation is by then.
what'll be better, 4" XC bike or 5" trail bike?
Hey well done Mr Young Fart
It could even be a mulled wine ride (not that I know anything at all about mulled wine rides :wink:)
The one with brakes and tyres on.
If you don't mind climbing on the bigger bike, then take that one, but there's nothing that really warrants having that much boing, but comes down to preference as ever.
Whichever makes you smile more...that's the tool for the job me thinks.
Whichever makes you smile more...that's the tool for the job me thinks
Oh er, I would be very keen.
*hand goes up*
rich, Qs in the snow is cr*p
Del ,I was working , honest.
Sharki , what no slaughterhouse combe ? Horizon in the wet ? Best to foget Triscombe loop and stick to the combes? Or start from Lydeard carpark and do triscombe first ?
muddypuddle , there should be tinsel , lots of it.
terrahawk ,I take a pic every four mins so no probs.
please post up if halloween ride is a go, i'd be up for that!!
The section down through the trees on slaughter house can get ripped to fook by the hunt so i thought to leave that one out....if triscombe is left alone then a few extra combe descents can be thrown in..
Just about to plot some route on tracklogs..so.
Somerton, slaughter house, concrete block, frog, great bear, weacombe, weacombe, weacombe new descent, smiths and willoughbys all looped in without re-doing ascents and going over the same trails twice........
Any others? dibbs trail and the 2 hare knapp descents........jeez, gonna need lots of fuel for this super loop...
yeah but it will be soggy mud by december anyway and worth that little section. All those stream crossing are too good to miss.Oh and the dogpound hill ? How about going around longstone and down the steep one to hodders ? Both all weather trails.
Dog pound, lady edge, ladys combe, horizon, and probably Stert all as climbs as much as Stert is one awesome descent it's also an easy climb out and if slaughter house is to be used and perhaps hare knapp then we need two separate ways out of that area.
How about doing weacombe, then make em sweat crawling back out, then pop out by the picnic bench and lose all that height gain on your new trail, then traverse around the edge and walk up Bicknoller
surely its against the law to ascend sturtcombe? its ace!!
walking sounds good , lol
knottie was that you passing us by crowcombe car park on monday morn? was gonna say hi but wasn't sure if it was you or knot?
Indeed, it is wrong, unfortunately due to all the descents being ace, it kinda messes up any plans to get out for each way into the combes there needs to be a way out and sheperds(ladies edge) and stert are the two easiest, dog pound is needed as a way up out of Holford combe...as both frog and ladies combe are southern ascents and frog is another illegal climb..
I'm working on this, but it will certainly be a beast of a ride.
surely its against the law to ascend sturtcombe?
I used to ride home from work that way after a night shift.
all the way up it i would be thinking 'this is so the wrong way'!!
pencil me in for this one.
