Refuting the British Museum's Statements
Lord Elgin "saved" the Marbles from a worse fate by removing them to safety in Britain
In fact, the Marbles that Lord Elgin did not bring back to Britain and which remained in Athens, have survived remarkably well and have recently benefited from cleaning using state of the art laser technology. In contrast, the Marbles retained in London were scrubbed with wire brushes in the 1930s by British Museum staff in a misguided effort to make them whiter.
Lord Elgin "legally" acquired the Marbles and the British Museum subsequently "legally" acquired them from him for the British Museum
In the absence of unequivocal documentary proof of the circumstances under which Lord Elgin removed the Marbles, the legality of Britain's acquisition of them will always be in doubt. More importantly, the fact that permission to remove them was granted not by the Greeks but by the Ottoman forces occupying Greece at that time undermines the legitimacy of Elgin's actions and thus by extension Britain's ownership.
Lord Elgin's removal of the Marbles was archaeologically motivated
Lord Elgin's expressed intention was always to transport the Marbles to his ancestral seat in Scotland where they would be displayed as trophies in the tradition established by aristocratic collectors returning from the Grand Tour. Nobody with genuine archaeological interest in ancient Greek sculpture would ever have countenanced the disfiguring of such a beautiful and important ancient monument in the way Lord Elgin did.
The Greeks are unable to look after the Parthenon Marbles properly
The Acropolis Museum in Athens is a world-class museum with first-rate conservation and curatorial expertise. It is the most appropriate place in the world in which to display the Parthenon Marbles. Its proximity to the ancient monument would return to them some measure of their architectural significance. While they remain in London, this aspect of their importance is steadily being erased from the cultural memory.
It is impossible to restore the Parthenon and thus the aspiration towards 'reunification' is a false one
Restoration of the structural fabric of Parthenon temple continues apace. However, the aspiration has never been to return the frieze, pediment and metopes to the original building but rather to reunify them within the Acropolis Museum where they can be properly appreciated and understood, and preserved for posterity.
The Marbles are better off in London where they can be seen in the context of other world cultures
Research on museum visitors has concluded that the average visitor does not make meaningful connections between the randomly acquired objects held by encyclopaedic museums. Indeed, given the choice between viewing the Parthenon Marbles within the contexts applied to them by British Museum curators and experiencing them in the city of Athens from which they originate, the overwhelming evidence is that the majority of the public would prefer to see them returned to Athens.
The Marbles belong to "the world", to all of us, and should therefore be left where "everyone" can enjoy them
Now that Athens has a world-class, state-of-the-art museum in which to house the Marbles, there is no longer any justification for assuming that London is the best place for the people of the world to enjoy them. Since its opening, the New Acropolis Museum has enjoyed over 5 million visitors (*June 2013). It is therefore reasonable to assume that visitor numbers would increase still further were the Parthenon Marbles to be reunited in the new museum.
If the British Museum agreed to return the Marbles to Athens, it would "open the floodgates", leading to the denuding of the world's encyclopaedic museums
There is no evidence that museums would be denuded if each request for repatriation were treated on its own merits. For European and North American museums to suggest that they would be denuded is tantamount to admitting that the majority of their collections were dubiously acquired, which is not the case. The great encyclopaedic or 'universal' museums in London, Paris, Berlin, New York and elsewhere are all subject to the laws laid down within internationally agreed legal instruments such as the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the safeguarding of cultural property. Refusing to return the Marbles sends the wrong message at a time when a more ethical approach is required over disputed cultural property.
The Marbles are too important a part of the British Museum collection to allow them to be given up
The most important part of the British Museum's work in the future will be the fostering of creative cultural partnerships with other nations. These can lead to groundbreaking exhibitions such as the Terracotta Army from China and Moctezuma from Mexico to name but a few. Returning the Parthenon Marbles would open a new chapter in cooperative relationships with Greece and enable visitors to the British Museum to see new objects loaned by Greek museums. Refusal to return them is hampering this process. The Parthenon Marbles display in the British Museum could be displayed as high-quality casts. The decision to return the Marbles to Athens would be seen as the British Museum leading the way in enlightened cultural diplomacy, the benefits of which would be diverse, long-term, and far-reaching.
The Marbles can only be "loaned" to Athens if the Greeks agree to concede Britain's legal ownership of the sculptures
Attaching such a precondition to a dispute over cultural property has been widely viewed as insulting and condescending and reminiscent of a colonialist approach to international relations. Seemingly intractable cultural disputes require both parties to adopt a spirit of open-minded generosity and to enter into discussions on equal terms and with no preconditions.
"The Elgin Marbles are no longer part of the story of the Parthenon. They are now part of another story." (Neil MacGregor, Director, British Museum)
It is not the role of museums to rewrite history to further their own nationalistic ends. As their correct name makes clear, the Parthenon Marbles are, and will always be, integral to the story of the Parthenon, one of the finest cultural achievements bequeathed to us by the ancient Greeks.

Steve Tilston's John Lennon Letter Inspires New Film
Proper distributed artist and label owner Steve Tilston is the inspiration for a new Al Pacino film entitled 'Danny Collins'.
Back in 2005, the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards winner received a letter via a US collector which had been sent 34 years previously from John Lennon. The ex-Beatle had written the message to Tilston after reading an interview with him in ZigZag music magazine in which he said that getting rich could compromise his artistic integrity.
The story is now the basis of the new film Danny Collins, starring Al Pacino as a former pop lothario who wants to change his life after belatedly receiving the letter.
In the letter, Lennon wrote that "being rich doesn't change your experience in the way you think" and "emotions – relationships – are the same as anybody's. I know, I've been rich and poor, so has Yoko (rich-poor-rich) so whadya think of that."
Speaking to the Radio Times magazine, Tilston said: "What's painful is that it's a road not taken. All of us in our lives are faced with choices of ways to go. What I resented, but don't any more, is that with this one, I didn't get the choice."

laptop boot freeze after video driver install. fixable?
I own a Pavilion DV9700t hp Laptop with nvidia geforce 8600m GS graphics card built in. it is a couple years old and has been running Win7 for the last year. Screen broke two weeks ago, bought a new one off ebay and installed it easy peasy, worked fine. After, did a format to freshen it up a bit. computer installs and boots just fine, after installing drivers, reboot to a frozen loading screen with logo. After some safe mode testing found out it only freezes on boot after nvidia driver install for graphics.
I can install all other drivers and use the computer just fine. I have installed both vista and win7 and the same issue occurs. I have used HP drivers and Nvidia drivers for graphics card. Newest and first release from both. every time i install a graphics driver, operating system freezes on boot. Safe mode works just fine.
I have found threads with this issue online elsewere, but no fixes for it. Does anyone know what is causing the issue? mayhaps some stupid little fix I have overlooked? I have formatted this computer almost 20 times trying out different things and its getting painful T.T

Try uninstalling any display driver software and just use the driver.
Try disabling the NVidia Service in services.msc.
Check for newer drivers via optional Windows Update.
Try all available display drivers from NVidia and HP back to and including Vista.
I note you mention "format" as though it's a clean reinstall. Format erases nothing, so if you have boot sector corruption, infection or other corruption the code remains until you wipe the HD with zeroes: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Other tips for getting a purrfect reinstall: re-install windows 7

|21 Jan 2011
I have used just the driver instead of the packages. I did not know about the nvidia service, very nice tidbit there, but did not help. and I have used most all the drivers available from nvidia and all from hp's support site. there are no drivers made available through windows update. and i do understand that a format does not erase data. it does nothing more than wipe and recreate the partition table, the index of your disk. But the dv9700t has two internal HDD's and I have used both trying to fix the issue. After all suggestions have been taken into consideration there still is no change to the boot freeze. I had real hopes for the nvidia service but didn't cut it.
While i really dislike the idea, could the gpu be damaged causing this issue? or is it just software problems? I currently have a glorified paperweight with internet access and it pains me. More help on the matter is greatly appreciated.

Spitznagel tells it like it is in the WSJ
In a wonderful piece for the Wall Street Journal's editorial page, hedge fund CIO Mark Spitznagel explains how the 1% receive the money first and benefit from the Federal Reserve's policies.
The Fed, having gone on an unprecedented credit expansion spree, has benefited the recipients who were first in line at the trough: banks (imagine borrowing for free and then buying up assets that you know the Fed is aggressively buying with you) and those favored entities and individuals deemed most creditworthy. Flush with capital, these recipients have proceeded to bid up the prices of assets and resources, while everyone else has watched their purchasing power decline.

Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Some television shows are ripe for interactive adaptations. Like Grey's Anatomy, or The Young Ones.
A large omnivorous mammal that can be white, brown, or black. Despite their ferociousness, they are also associated with being soft and cuddly, as in teddy bears. Bears are also known to eat stairs. Scientists say that because "bears eat stairs" rhymes the bears are naturally inclined to do so.
A proprietary video codec (.bik/bk2 extension) developed by RAD Game Tools and used in a very large number of video games.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
Bullet time is a gameplay mechanic that allows players to slow down time. Depending on the game itself, the player often slows down along with the world around them, however occasionally the player can simply move at normal speed while the game world continues to slow.
A style of animation that gives games a more hand drawn look.
Crows are familiar over much of the world: large, intelligent, all-black birds with hoarse, cawing voices.
Decapitation is the removal of the head of a person or animal.
The ability to freely slice or chop, based on a physics engine instead of predetermined spots. Slicing where you cut instead of where the game "lets" you cut.
The 2008 E3 Media & Business Summit took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on July 15-17.
Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more.
A game based on an anime.
A system that gives a game the technical capability to implement the effects of gore which include but are not limited to, dismemberment, charring, beheading and gibbing. Gore systems have progressed significantly over the years from enemies scattering into pixels to highly detailed body tearing.
Complete move list for character actions that are already in the game itself. Usually accessed via pause menu.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
These games are based off of an established license, such as a movie or comic. Examples are the James Bond and Spider-Man franchises.
This concept is for games in which the main character is male.
From Beat-em-ups to fighting games to modern FPS, one dude hitting another has made an enjoyable pastime.
Many great heroes had to learn their skills from someone. This person would be the one.
A device by which a character's motivations or expectations are influenced by a suspiciously absent family member.
Legendary, stealthy assassins from Japan's feudal era, who are well-trained in the art of the sword, and who may or may not have access to magical powers.
Nudity is qualified as either exposed buttocks, breasts, or genitalia or general lack of clothing. Video game nudity is largely a rarity outside of the PC market.
Games that have had an Original Soundtrack album released.
The 2008 Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) took place at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center in Seattle, Washington on August 29-31.
Who needs 2D when we've got 3D? 3D, or 3 dimensions, is what we're used to seeing in almost every game these days, letting us do all sorts of awesome stuff like run in circles!
Swearing, cursing, call it what you want. It is an expression of anger or frustration, in most cases.
A boss that players fight multiple times throughout the game. They usually follow the player as they progress.
Revenge is an act of violence, financial ruin, or emotional torment that one person or group carries out against another, in response to some perceived wrongdoing.
If a person is made of metal and has circuitry instead of a circulatory system, then their game belongs on this list.

Boca Raton, FL (PressExposure) August 08, 2009 -- /1888PressRelease/ Insights is producing new segments on products that are exclusively Made in America.
The Senior Producer for the programs said, âThe series will focus on the importance of keeping manufacturing here in the United States, and the advantages of buying "made in America" products.â Many companies take pride in fact that they are working to keep America strong and prosperous by keeping manufacturing here in the U.S.
Companies have recently been given the choice of increasing their borders with their manufacturing capabilities or remaining here in America. They take pride in their work as an American. Even the host of âMade in Americaâ, John Ratzenberger, says âIf you want to know America, you've got to meet the folks who work in factories and workshops. People who make real things and take pride in what they doâ¦I poked around every corner of this country -- big cities, small towns, and whatever was in between -- looking for the soul of America. And you know what? I found it everywhere."
By refusing to outsource internationally, American companies have increased their company profit, which was unexpected. As a result, Americans have decided to build bigger plants in the US because they sensed the importance of keeping American companies in America. There are far too many companies that are created and launched for less money and cheaper quality â such companies claim others are being âPenny wise and pound foolishâ as the age old adage goes. This is all for the sake of making the owner more income. But there are economic advantages, they say, of keeping products in America, made by Americans. The Insights series will explore the advantages of producing and buying American Made products.

"Exemplary EAU and Dunlop Ward"
About: Torbay Hospital Torbay Hospital Torquay TQ2 7AA
Posted via NHS Choices
I was sent to A&E on Tuesday 9th of August by my GP.
Thereafter I was given a bed in Bay 9 of EAU where all the usual tests were carried out.
The staff were very kind and once a diagnose of my symptoms had been reached Ii was transferred to Dunlop Ward on the 10th of August.
Again all the staff were all exemplary in their care.
They all work so hard and this was much appreciated by myself and other patients within that ward at the time.
I was in Bay 5 I believe which is opposite the desk.

As an entrepreneur, how do you know when it's time to let go?
Sadly, there's no formula for making that decision. "Many successful people have had success because they pivot and others because they persevere," says Jason Calacanis, a serial entrepreneur, angel investor, and founder of Mahalo.com. The choice depends on the leader and the situation.
Learning to make that choice for yourself is about gaining the self-awareness to sense when your effort is productive and when it's not. "People with a sense of commitment and loyalty sometimes feel like they need to fight the battle until the last dying breath," Calacanis says. "That's honourable, but naive."
To help you decide if it's time to move on, try these four tips:
1. Make sure you still love it. If you're having doubts, then ask yourself, are you still driven to create this product? Do you talk about it constantly, get excited about using it, and blog about your ideas? Your enthusiasm is the heartbeat of your company. "If the founder comes to work every day and it's a struggle, that permeates the whole organisation," Calacanis says.
Use your team as a benchmark as well. Notice if they use the product, talk about it with friends, and promote it on social media. "If they're really proud of their work, they're going to crow about it," Calacanis says. If you or your team sees the work as a chore, it's time to reassess.
2. Give yourself an expiration date. Entrepreneurship is riddled with challenges, so you want to make sure that you don't let go too soon. "To get your head around the opportunity, you have to soak in it for a little bit," Calacanis says. He recommends giving yourself a cutoff date – about one to three years, depending on your business – at which point you'll move on if it's not working.
At the same time, you want to set shorter deadlines – a few weeks or months – to test shorter term projects or meet your growth goals. Benchmarks will tell you when your implementation needs to be adjusted, while the overall expiration date will tell you when the concept itself is flawed.
3. Talk to peers and mentors. When you're considering letting go, explain the situation to more successful entrepreneurs who've been around the block. Clarity comes from the process of explaining your situation and hearing their reaction. "You're going to figure it out real quick," Calacanis says.
Admitting hardship or doubt seems threatening at first, but it's a fear to overcome. "[Young entrepreneurs] worry that their teams will leave or panic, and that investors won't believe in them," Calacanis says. "The opposite is true: They're going to respect you more."
4. Look five years ahead. If you're debating whether to let go of an idea, turn to your competitors – similar companies that have already achieved success. "Look at the best case scenario and see if you want that," Calacanis says.
For example, when Calacanis was deciding whether to continue his popular podcast, "This Week in Start-ups," he saw that his most successful competitor was worth about $5 million, a number unlikely to grow in the current radio market. He wanted a bigger opportunity, so he chose to pivot and moved into video, launching Inside.com, a soon-to-be-launched site producing serial internet television shows.

Not news to them. They were told that TVA was getting out of the law enforcement business over two years ago.
Officers: Remarks threatening
Logan said Fridays meeting was a waste of time, other than being threatened,
Interesting unfunded mandate. "Patrol us or we'll tell Papa Holder to cut your money."
If I were a chief in that area and threatened, I'd be irritated as well. And if not in my jurisdiction, the TVA would be pounding sand for call responses or assistance.
That is because it is cheaper to have private guards without benefits.
It's way cheaper to have security guards than cops. Paid less, do less, know less, require less training, require less gear, have no or low benefits, different or no retirement, etc. You get almost nothing with security besides someone to watch and pick up a phone, but comparitively, you pay almost nothing. And that's seductive to the bean counters. As previously noted, this has been years in the works. Not a surprise to anyone at TVA.
Sounds like some serious BS to me, shoving it off on local LE, who are basically being told "deal with it".

Behavior patterns of investment strategies under Roy's safety-first principle
The safety-first principle is a natural motivational factor in decision making, and is closely related to certain popular heuristics such as satisficing. We provide a systematic analysis of optimal portfolio choice under Roy's safety-first principle by examining and comparing the behavior patterns of three popular investment strategies: the optimal constant-rebalanced portfolio, dynamic-rebalanced portfolio and buy-and-hold strategies. Our results indicate the importance of a match between the investment strategy, the investment goal, and the investment horizon. We also develop a geometric approach to investigate the relationships among the safety-first, expected utility, and mean-variance models and offer an explanation for the long-standing debate concerning different patterns of time-diversification effects.

My daughter couldn't decide until the day before a Halloween party what she wanted to dress as this year. I won't pretend that I didn't cry a little inside when she scrapped her original plan to be Pippi Longstocking in favor of being a lil' devil. Fortunately, a perfect red dress was waiting for us at the thrift and was easily sewn down to size. As for me, I pulled a sweet old standby from my suitcase of costumes.
Have you seen these awesome masquerade masks at Target? The girl and I had too much fun playing and taking pictures in them. Yes, we are *those* people that hog the aisles for our own amusement.
Happy costuming, diy'ers!

Slower traffic keep right
Is it the same from Los Angeles to Portland, ME? You're going down the freeway at 70 MPH and there's a car doing 45 in the left hand lane, no traffic in sight?
I once wrote an article on this for Arizona Republic.
Since yesterday was Earth Day, think of the energy, lives and time that could be saved if state patrols nationwide cracked down on those lollygagging in the left-hand lane. It would speed up rush hour traffic. State legislators should impose hefty fines for those blocking the byways' arteries by hogging the left lane.
As I advocated in the article, contact your legislators now!

City News List
Adelia Harris has emotional meeting with the Schwabenbauer family after heart donation
For more information on this heartwarming story of former Lauderhilll Firefighter and Lifeguard Joshua Schwabenbauer, please go to WPTV5's website. Here is the direct link to the story:
From the WPTV5 website:
Adelia Harris and Sharon Schwabenbauer are not related, at least in the biological sense. But there is a very special connection between them.
After a healthy childhood, Harris became very ill as a young adult.
"My heart was that of a 98 year-old woman about to die," she says.
In 2012, two weeks after her birthday, she got a call that there was a heart available for her.
It was one of four organs donated by Brad Schwabenbauer's son, Joshua. The Lauderhill firefighter was involved in an off-duty accident that ultimately took his life. His parents said he became an organ donor not long before he passed.
"If he didn't do that, we wouldn't be here now, none of this would have happened," his father said.
It was an emotional scene on Saturday at the St. Lucie County Tax Collector's Office as Joshua's family took turns with a stethoscope, listening to Joshua's heart inside Adelia.
"As a mother, you lose one but you see another mother with her child and it's a good feeling," Joshua's mother said.
Harris doesn't refer to Joshua as her donor.
"I like to say giver of life. Someone who has given me a second chance at life," she says.
Adelia says she now gets to do things she couldn't before and also gets to go on new adventures she'll share with Joshua and her new second family.
"I'll take care of Joshua, just like he's taking care of me," she says.
The St. Lucie County Tax Collector's Office is a big supporter of the "Donate Life" Florida program, which is an effort to get Floridians to register as organ donors.

Atheists Ask Obama to Ditch 'So Help Me God,' Bible in Presidential Oath
Religion TodayReligious persecution, missions, Christianity around the world
- 2012 Nov 15
When President Barack Obama takes the oath of office for the second time on Jan. 21, 2013, an atheist group wants him to do so without mentioning God and without a Bible, the Christian Post reports. Following Obama's re-election, the Freedom From Religion Foundation sent him a letter asking him to reject the way "this country politicizes religion." FFRF attorney Andrew L. Seidel wrote: "When you stand to reaffirm your oath, do so using the language of the Founders. Eliminate the religious verbiage. While you're at it, why not place your hand on the Constitution instead of a Bible?" The FFRF argued that the words "so help me God" are not prescribed by the Constitution, nor is a requirement for the president to place his hand on a Bible when taking oath. "[Obama's second term] is a chance to do something that no president in recent memory has done: reach out to secular Americans," FFRF wrote. "In the past, that might have been politically costly. But this recent election shows that it will be politically costly not to reach out to secular America. We are the future."

How far in advance do you need to hold Pradaxa prior to surgery?
- Asked

- Topics
- surgery, pradaxa
Responses (1)
Talk with your specialist as circumstances will vary depending on creatinine clearance (an indicator of kidney function) and type of surgery.
Generally Pradaxa should be discontinued 1 to 2 days (CrCl >50 mL/min) or 3 – 5 days (CrCl <50 mL/min) before invasive or surgical procedures because of the increased risk of bleeding. Consider longer times for patients undergoing major surgery, spinal puncture, or placement of a spinal or epidural catheter or port, in whom complete hemostasis maybe required.

Typically, a married couple benefits from filing a joint tax return, but not always. In some limited cases, you may do better overall by filing separate returns. Reason: One spouse may have a disproportionate portion of a couple's expenses subject to deduction threshold.
Example: You and your spouse have a joint AGI of $100,000 of which $90,000 is yours and $10,000 is your spouse's. In 2013, your spouse had unreimbursed medical expenses of $9,000 while you had none. Your spouse paid for her expenses out of her own separate account. If you file jointly, you can't deduct any of your medical expenses because your qualified expenses don't exceed the 10%-of-AGI threshold of $10,000 (10% x $100,000).
However, if you file separate returns, your spouse can claim a medical deduction of $8,000 on her separate return (the excess of $9,000 over her 10%-of-AGI threshold of $1,000).
Tip: Filing separately affects other tax return items, so don't make this decision in a vacuum.

Our little guy is 4.
Sebby isn't very interested in the whipped cream and cherry adorned sundae that normally follows a birthday dinner at Red Robin. He enjoys the singing, clapping and cheering – and that's where it ends.
Our server tonight graciously heated up a chocolate cookie and piled some whipped cream, chocolate AND caramel sauce on top, along with of course, the required cherry and sprinkles.
He was very impressed by the efforts, but Sebby being Sebby still didn't eat it.

There's a few people I don't know the age/year of birth, but do know month and day. Wait for your phone to sync the contact and try selecting it. Crashes my contact app. When looking at the export .csv file from google, full birthdays have mm/dd/yy format, partial birthdays have --mm-dd.

I detest shopping at Wal*Mart.
It's not that I have any beef with the company. I just dislike having to be inside one of their stores. I feel like a piece of processed cheese when I'm done. I got spoiled by living in the city for a couple of years, several inconvenient miles away from the nearest Wal*Mart. I was gradually 'detoxed' from my need to go to that store. That sounded funny as I wrote it. I got spoiled by living far away from a Wal*Mart.
It was different in our small college town, where the only thing to do was go to Wal*Mart. It was a big deal when they did a trial 24 hour schedule. A bunch of us purposefully saved our shopping needs for midnight, to prove to them they needed to keep the store open all the time. I needs my animal crackers and cans of frosting right now! I don't care if it's 3 am! And now a bunch of people are working the graveyard shift at a small town store, years after I left that place. I like to think I helped them out, and that makes me feel good.
But now I hate Wal*Mart. Our local store is particularly bad. It's just poorly laid out to try to get in and out of. It's on a busy corner, the parking lot is too small, the store is a mess, and I usually cannot find what I need if it is an emergency. That makes me sound like an old man: 'This gat dang store is too gat dang big! I can't find any gat dang thing I need!'
Plus, have you ever noticed how people behave in Wal*Mart? It is the bottom of the barrel of family outings. People don't bother to bathe or dress in something other than sweatpants. They act like rabid heynas at the $5 DVD bin. People definately are not on their 'best behavior' in this theater of uncensored human nature. Why bother? It's Wal*Mart. I treat it the same way you probably do.
You may have noticed that I'm being sure to call it Wal*Mart, and not Wal-Mart. That's an important distinction. Wal-Mart evolved into a Wal*Mart: a small town open all the time that can provide you with every concievable need at a reasonable price. They added the word SuperCenter to the Wal*Mart. It's no longer merely a 'store,' it's a 'Center,' a SuperCenter. I tease my friend because he lives near the last Wal-Mart left in America. It just says something about your neighborhood when even Wal-Mart doesn't care anymore.
It's probably my feelings about my local Wal*Mart SuperCenter which have contributed to the thoughts I have when I pass by a local "Worship Center." That just means 'Church,' but it's not just a church, it's so much more! It's a Worship Center!
Maybe you go to a Worship Center and find it all very appealing and fulfilling. That's fine, I'm not trying to make you feel bad about your church, er 'Worship Center.' My impression of these places by and large is this:
Worship Centers are very large places, like Wal*Mart.
Worhsip Centers have many many ministries to meet everyone's needs, like Wal*Mart.
Worship Centers are a pain to get in and out of, like Wal*Mart.
Calling your church something other than 'church' is very popular. Like calling a church building a facility, or a campus. or the sanctuary an auditorium, or Sunday School somthing like a life impact group. I went to a church for a year that had actually thought of an awesomely cool and confusing name for bulletins. They called them kairos. Don't ask me how they came up with that or what it means. Anything to make it sound like something other than church, please!
And yeah, we named our church Levi's House, because it's a conversation piece. No hint of 'church' at all in the name. I'll tell you about it if you ask nicely. So I'm guilty too. But we didn't call it Levi's*Super*24 hour*Worship*Center*North Campus.
It's not that Worship Centers are inherently bad as churches. You'll see of my three impressions above, only one of those is a definately bad thing! My thought here is that 'church,' which used to be the centerpiece of Sunday, is starting to sound more like one item on a crowded weekend list of things to do.
Wal*Mart, Grocery Store, Worship Center.
Check. Check. And Check. Got everything on my list done! Let's go to Jamba Juice.
Furthermore, a huge Worship Center on the street corner gives off the same vibe to all us small church pastors as a Wal*Mart gives to that struggling 'Mom and Pop' store.
Wal*Mart: 'Well well, if it isn't a small local retail store! I didn't see you there. How's business working out for you?'
Worship Center: 'And look at this, why it's a small local 'Church!' You still call it that? That's quaint; it goes with your adorable little steeple and stained glass windows. But where is your parking garage? Oh, your congregation is only in the double digits. That's cute. Don't mind me, I'm just looking around. I'm new in town.'
Wal*Mart: 'Hey, Worship Center, this 'Church' doesn't even have a McDonald's on his campus! Reminds me of that little family owned Hardware Store I met last Christmas. Does he expect people to bring their own food or something?'
Worship Center: 'You call it what? A potluck? Hmmm…I guess I just believe in providing something for people, rather than asking them to do all the work for themselves. Like this new granite ball fountain I just got last month. All the biggest corporate offices are getting one. Visitors are absolutely enthralled and enchanted by it!'
Wal*Mart: 'That's pretty sweet. I'm selling a mini version of those for $7.99.'
Is 'church' changing from a sacred place and time to an ordinary place and time? As it goes from 'Church' to 'Worship*Super*Center,' will people start to treat 'church' differently? If we make it sound like all the other places people go on a weekend, will they eventually start to treat it that way, like just another stop between Wal*Mart and the Grocery Store?
Or are churches better off trying to be more appealing by dropping 'church' from the name?

Cheers Dave you're a star :icon_thumright:
Its also called IPA
Are you anywhere near here
they sell this
and then you will be this
Cheers, off to get some today, but more importantly I want to now know why there is pictures of my wife on the internet!
(I was gonna make some reference to your girlfriend/wife/mum but I'm new here so I've restrained myself. Nice link though might save that picture for future use. :icon_thumright: )
I can't believe that you lt didn't know what Isopropyl Alcohol was FFS!
I always get mine from CPC, Maplins seem to be dearer.
Failing that use meths to clean off the gunk, you can soak parts in meths but if you try and soak in IPA it will evaporate really fast, making it a bit difficult.
Make sure you don't get your IPA's confused.
the stuff from halfords marked... electrical contact cleaner (in a green can) is the same stuff.
Or at least it smells like the same stuff and hasnt killed my MAF yet. We use alot of isopropyl alcohol at work (in hospital) as a disinfectant, it has a distinctive smell.
Solvent abuse?
I just did mine today! After taking ages trying to figure out how to get that sodding plug that connects to the throttle body of without breaking it .
Mines done 70k so it was a hell of a lot more responsive afterwards especially from 2-5,000 revs noticeable difference. It doesn't idle erratically anymore either and has a smoother pickup. There was loads of gunk around there though and a big ring of gunk around where the flappy thing rests.
Thanks a lot for this .
did mine at weekend and the ECU has set all its parameters and the cars idles better and is more responsive down in the rev range
worth doing!
I did mine and the MAF and I went from 27mpg average to 32mpg average.
Thats enough of a reason in itself to do it...
At the risk of sounding a complete idiot what gasket do I ask for? Throttle body gasket??!!
Whilst I whip off the throttle body may as well replace the gasket as I wouldnt think it cost much
Any feedback on where to get a new gasket from?
As long as you are careful when cleaning it through the gasket should be fine to keep on. Just be careful to keep all cleaning fluid/water inside the throttle body and watch for the electrical connector on one end. I did'nt have a 5 stsr security torx for the maf so I just dismantled part of the intake box and cleaned it through that with loads of isopropyl...worked a treat.
would it make diffrence if ya had your ca liver mapped........?
You can do it by disconnecting your battery before and then carry out,
BT clean once every thing is complete connect battery turn to 1st setting on ignition and you should hear an audible whirring sound which should last for approx 20 seconds it will then go off, that's the BT aligning itself then start engine up, i did it today went a treat, cleaned it with carb cleaner and cotton wool buds, + lint free cloth here is a link however just use battery disconnect in place of vag com, hope this helps m8 good luck.
it is the same stuff lol thats what i used.
Is it essential to get the torque setting correct when tightning the bolts or can you just tighten as much as it allows.
What do you do if you dont have a torque wrench?
My car had done 92k when i took mine off to clean and it was spotless.
How long does it take to reset ?
probably been done before you bought it
im gonna do mine this weekend, done it on a few other cars before but not my own baby so ill have to be careful this time lol
I did have a bit of idle play & i have done all mentioned in the above dont think its as bad as it was well worth doing. Does the 1.8T engine have an idle control valve this usually plays a part in unconsistant idleing any info would be good.
i have just cleaned the throttle body as it was very dirty. i did the whole disconnect the battery thing for over 40 mins and then put it all back together. I reconnected the battery and did the first click on the ignition and left it alone for a minute and then started the engine. The engine started fine and then it started to alter the revs up n down above n below it leveled out at 1000rpm. I have now taken the car for a 10min drive and the idle still sits at 1000rpm is this right cos it used to idle at about 850rpm.
I have done this on mine now and from what I have learnt, you should only need to leave the battery disconnected for a bout 10 -15mins. Did you make sure the flap in the throtle body returned to the orignal place? Also where you carefull not to **** around with the IAT sensor in just past the flap? Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
Have done the battery thing and left it off for a good 30 mins. The throttle body flap didnt move at all so it stayed in its original postition througout cleaning. I did not touch the sensor i just cleaned the hole where the small rubber pipe connects.
The car is less eratic in idle now but its still stays just under 1000rpm when warmed up. it does still fluctuate a little. i will see how it goes on the way to work 2moro.
Thanks for the advice and no i welcome any useful comments thats what i'm here for!!
Just driven to work and its not good, First off the from cold the car would not accelerate smoothly it sort of bunny hopped. After it warmed up a little it did improve but the idle is still staying at 1000rpm and fluctuating a little. The temp gage got to 90 as per usual but then it dropped a little as i was getting close to work. it has not done this before. I am wondering if it might have something to do with the MAF sensor??
Does sound like a MAF error. Try disconnecting and they driving it home, if it stops doing it there is your answer.
BTW don't do it for to long as I've heard that it get the car all upset.
Will go give the MAF a quick clean later to see if that helps as i could not do it yesterday as i did not have a torque bit to undo it. Will also try unplugging it later on my way home to see if that solves it. Have already found that GSF have a replacement just incase for £69.50+VAT.
Cheers for the advice
Quick update, just went out and removed the MAF and gave it a quick clean not sure if it has fixed the prob or not but it was idling at about 900rpm but still not steady. I tried removing the MAF connector to see if this made it any better but the rpm's dropped dramatically like the car was about to stall and then kept rising n falling. I reconnected the MAF and it went back to the 900rpm again but its still not the same steady idle as i had before. Still got the drive home to see if the clean has helped though, any other ideas people??
You could try resetting it again. Disconnect the battery and see if it fixes it. Mine ide's at 950 which before it was at 1000. Also response is better.
Will drive it home and then try the whole reset thingy again. Might also try doing the reset of the throttle too as thats easy enough turn on the ignition lights press pedal down for 5 secs and then let it go and start the engine.
Very much hope i can fix this as it was all ok till i cleaned the throttle body, Damn it i was only trying to be nice to my S3!!!
I ll mention it again idle control valve ?
Got home and have tried resetting the ECU again by disconnecting the battery and still got the same prob, if anything its worse now cos the car is idling above 1000rpm. Gonna take it to the garage 2moro morning and see if they can discover whats wrong.
Been to Abtech this morning and they have stuck it on VagCom and it has come back saying that the MAF is reading as low and so is the temp sensor so i am gonna replace them and fingers crossed get this issue solved.
I think my S3 hates me
IMO that's why it's so good to have the old VAGcom! :icon_thumright:
Very much concidering getting vagcom now!! are the cheap ebay cables any good?? if not where is best to get one from and how much do they cost?? i know you can get the software free from Ross tech.
I have one of these, not a bad price and to get the software activated it cost £50.
Looks good did you get the software from Ross tech?? if so is that where you get it activated for £50??
Link above is for the download.
I think I emailed them about getting the liecence.
Hope this helps.
next stupid question :
is it easy to use vagcom?? and is there any chance of me doing anything bad to the car with it?? I do have a tendancy to make things worse look (eg tried to clean throttle body and now have faulty MAF and Temp sensor!)
Also is the cable you posted the link to the one you use with the free 409.1 version of the software?? did you pay £50 to unlock features in that version of the software or have you got the 704 software if so does that work with the same cable??
I have 409.1 which unlocks for £50.
Use this link it tells you everything you need to know.
Just cleaned my TB yesterday - fairly simple job even for a mechanical novice like me
mine was absolutely filthy inside, a ring of black deposit around the flap about 1cm wide - cleaned up ok with the isopropanol (spelling) though and it seems to be running a lot smoother now.

There are two things to check first:
The front panel USB ports have a wire that must be plugged into the USB header on your motherboard. (Your motherboard must have a USB header. Older boards do not).
You should check your BIOS settings to see if the USB controller must be enabled.
