Sarah Fox in conversation with Rachel Moritz
Rachel Moritz: There's a journey in this book, though the experience of time feels more circular than linear. One thread, however, is the series, "Field Notes of an Advance Scout." Can you discuss the kind of path these poems forge?
Sarah Fox: The poems in the book do side with a more elliptical expression of time, in opposition to Western instincts. I think of this nonlinear approach as an organic articulation that poetry, in particular, is able to facilitate. Paul Celan: "I try to reproduce cuttings from the spectral analysis of things, to show them in several aspects and permeations at once." As I was putting the manuscript together, I wanted to focus, however ambiguously, on this idea of a journey—a subtle narrative arc—launching from the imperative form in the first poem ("Guidebook For a Pleasant Stay") into a territory of questioning. Questions are infinite. Edmond Jabés, in his poem "The Book of Questions," writes "knowledge means questioning," and further, "God is a question." Questioning allows for negative capability. The Field Notes poems hope to ground the journey through the gestures of awak- ening they transcribe. They are sequential, but that's mostly by coincidence. The first poem finds the speaker in a state of bewilderment, on a kind of threshold, as in a Grimm character who says "I would like to learn shuddering. That is something I do not comprehend at all." From there, the poems follow a course devoted to disempowering certainty and temporal concerns, permitting the "spectral analysis" as memory, image, idea, and utterance cross-pollinate. I obviously pay homage to María Sabina (and others such as Anne Waldman), out of a sense of apprenticeship to a poetic lineage, which for me finds its roots in a words-as-medicine approach to poetry. María Sabina chanted "I am a woman who looks into the insides of things and investigates." The "advance scout" could be seen as one investigating the rim of consciousness. Celan again: "Instrange yourself, / deeper." The poems were lifted from a single long piece I wrote during a somewhat heightened state—I was reporting back as the advance scout of myself! But transformation, or any path open to the potential for mys- tical encounters, is universally available. At least I think so.
Rachel Moritz: I'm interested in the baby as both a literal and symbolic figure. There's something here about the feminine and poetry; while many contemporary women are writing about motherhood, I haven't encountered as many poems about infertility, loss, or the choice not to parent (Ann Lauterbach's "Nest," is one that comes to mind). Some of your poems, like "Baby Shamanics for the New Millennium," deal with the "real" child, and some, like "Imagining Girls," work with the child as a representation of imagination and hope. Can you describe how fertility and barrenness function as literal and imaginative realities?
Sarah Fox: Well, I'm a doula, a mother, a teacher, and the oldest of six, so birth and children are powerful in my life. I have also had some struggles with miscarriage and infertility, which I sometimes speculate might reflect a larger ambivalence about having more children (my daughter is almost sixteen). Undoubtedly, it is more of a challenge to find time to write, to focus, when you have obligations as a mother. But the role is so tied up with identity that I find it inseparable from my role as poet. To be unable to conceive a child, on the other hand, eclipsed any ideology about it for me, and led me into a more extensive (and productive) creative energy around the body, its systems, and its reflection of the body of the world. During a birth I recently attended, accomplished by c-section, I actually saw the uterus, pulled out of the mother's body for suturing. It's a pretty impressive metaphor (in addition to being such an impressive organ!)—even the cave paintings in Lascaux, and elsewhere, celebrate its symbolic manifestations. I think any personal narrative going on in the book around these issues is incidental, though; what's more interesting to me is how all of this plays into the broader yearning for fulfillment that underlies our relentless cultural distractions. Both poems you mention feel to me like momentary thought-bridges, wrestling with paradox when choice is not necessarily available. I wasn't thinking of him when I wrote these, but I think now of Whitman's "Children of Adam" poems as toying with notions of fertility/infertility from the perspective of poet-maker. "Imagining Girls" originated as a cut-up of Anne Carson's Eros, The Bittersweet, the Gospel of Mark, and a third source that I can no longer remember. I was reading these all at once, and the texts naturally fell into each other. I cut out phrases and then recorded them randomly. Later, a poem occurred out of that experiment that appears to examine femininity, female inheritance, actual and possible daughters and/or selves, uterine longings . . . Also, the maternal conflict of accepting the child's physical separation, and facilitating her emotional independence while also maintaining your own. "Baby Shamanics for the New Millennium" came out of a dream, and a challenge from my friend Steve Healey to write a poem with the word "onesie" in it. He has a onesie poem too, in his book Earthling (as does Dobby Gibson, in Polar). I think the possible babies, like little ghosts, are haunting for women, but I find their hauntings fascinating, and strangely comforting. All children represent hope, and imagination. I was in Bolinas a couple of years ago on the Fourth of July, and their parade included a float of children with a banner reading "I pledge allegiance to my imagination." What better to pledge allegiance to?
Rachel Moritz: In The Poetics of Space, Gaston Bachelard writes, "The poet speaks on the threshold of being." He also talks about poetic image as consciousness at its point of origin. Describe your own relationship with image and this zero point of consciousness/ origin as it works in your poetry.
Sarah Fox: I would say that poems begin to occur, for me, in image before language. I had a student once who claimed he could not visualize images. He could not, for example, call to mind the sight of "dog" if he was not looking directly at a dog. I'd never heard of this phenomenon, but since then I've met other people who experience it. I don't know that my own poetry would exist if it didn't have images in the mind to draw from. I can see the poem, in my mind, so that language and form are the architecture of that vision, on the page. I understand the movement of the poem through its images, all of which are connected, in some associative or material way, to the instant of clarity that made way for poetic impulse. So I agree with Bachelard that poetic image pushes against consciousness at its origins, and that the interior space is where the poem happens for both poet and reader. Writing a poem, in my experience, is always an exercise in mining for truth, even simply the truth of what is taking place in the mind at a particular moment. For me, this feels very much like being in a liminal space, where image serves as a portal to some undetermined realization the poem is attempting to discover. Thus, metaphor. Again, this goes back to a willingness to question, to interview the image. Archetypally, you might say that The Fool, or The Child, are most comfortable with this mode of being, and I think of the various speakers in Because Why as embracing these roles.
Rachel Moritz: One thing I experience in your poetry is a calling forth of community, of the living elements of the world and their interrelationships—human, animal, plant, spirit. How do you see the community of the poem mirroring the community of the world? And how do you conceive of experimental poetry as a space where these elements are brought into conversation?
Sarah Fox: Community is very important to my work and life; I cultivate it on conscious and unconscious levels. What is the commu- nity of the poem? I don't know, but I do feel that my poems want to reflect my values of community—including poetic tradition. Ange Mlinko told me recently that my poems feel "populated." It's a conscious choice—not only to avoid solipsism or unearned irony, but to acknowledge the relevance of equanimity. A poem is rarely successful for me if it doesn't have a generous spirit. My concept of the poetic "I" is more Buddhist than Catholic, I guess. When the Dalai Lama says "I am the center of the universe," he means every "I": animal, plant, etc. We share that location as an interconnected whole (Duncan: "symposium of the whole.") Similarly, string theory suggests this interrelationship in scientific terms. As does ethnobotany—the study of a culture's relationship to plants and plant medicines—which is also an obsession of mine. I envision plants as great communicators, and locating their language, or translating it—through a kind of poetic alchemy—is something I attempt in many of the poems in Because Why. My poems are more interested in that intimate space between connections than they are in divisions. And of course I write from my own experience, and my daily life is centered around this nurturing of community. I feel an innate responsibility to establish little versions of "home," which are constantly being revised, in both my poems and my environment. Poetry, for me, is profoundly intimate. The most minute details of even a very domestic scenario can be radically subversive through poetic utterance. I'm encouraged by the work of poets like Alice Notley, Fanny Howe, Hoa Nguyen, Catherine Wagner—who write from domestic experience using unorthodox syntax, phrasing, form, collage. This is achievable through a practice of disobedience, especially important historically to women, but also synonymous with thoughtful resistance. Maybe this goes back to the notion of circular time, and its feminine components, which find traditional methods of communication limiting, unproductive, even passive. I've taken to calling this a "domestic avant-garde"—epitomized, you might say, by Tender Buttons—but really it's just poetry; you take what works and aim for your own truest expression.

The 5 month Timing Techniques course provides detailed instruction in a variety of methods used to time events and experiences in a person's life. The course is divided into three distinct modules, each of which covers a different techniques. These are: Annual Profections, Transits, and Zodiacal Releasing. Though they form one 5 month class, prospective students may take any one of the modules, independent of the others. Though each of the techniques explored is powerful on its own, there are, nonetheless, powerful synergies which can only be harnessed by examining the relationship between the techniques.
ANNUAL PROFECTIONS (4 Weeks): April 15th – May 6th
Annual profections are simple, powerful method for timing yearly themes and events in a person's life. During this 4 week class we'll deal with how to calculate profections, discuss the theory of time-lord techniques, and go over a host of examples. There is no technique as simple or as useful as profections for considering what a given year entails. Though valuable when considered in isolation, profections work beautifully with other timing techniques, such as transits.
TRANSITS (12 Weeks): May 13th – August 5th
This 12 week class focuses on the most commonly used prognostic technique in contemporary astrology— transits. Transits refer to the relationship between the positions of the planets at the time of birth and at another given point in time. Each of the planet's transits shines a particular light on our lives, and does so on specific time table. While some transits occur as often as every month, others happen only once in a long life- or never. This class devotes ample time to the description exploration of each and every planet's transits across our charts and through our lives.
Transits are absolutely essential for understanding the way charts, and lives, move through time. They are formidable on their own, and when combined with other methods, such as annual profections, zodiacal releasing and secondary progressions, can provide astonishingly accurate pictures of life at different points in time.
ZODIACAL RELEASING (4 Weeks): September 16th - October 7th
Zodiacal releasing (ZR) is a somewhat exotic time-lord technique which originates during the Roman era of astrology. Though somewhat esoteric in its calculation, ZR provides an irreplaceable perspective on any natal chart, as it cuts the life up into huge, thematically coherent periods lasting up to 30 years. Each of these periods has its own themes and challenges, as well as a fractal array of sub periods. Once understood properly, ZR opens the book of life, dividing its chapters and outlining its arcs.
When: Saturday afternoons, 1:30 pm- 3:00 PM Pacific, April 15th - October 7th
Where: Your computer! Classes will be held using the interactive service GoToMeeting. Recordings will be available for missed classes. A hosted forum will be available to post homework,discuss topics and ask questions.
Cost: By Unit or $425 for the entire 5 month course.
Classes are 90 minutes long, meet once a week, and consist primarily of live lecture and discussion online, using the GoToMeeting software. However, missing class isn't a problems, as every student will also receive the audio/visual recording of every session. Classes also include downloadable written handouts and a dedicated forum.

There's lots to see in and out of the water at the 10th Annual Dragon Boat Festival. The boats themselves are rather tame, just a small dragon head and a bit of a fiery tail at either end of a 40-foot-long Hong Kong-style boat carrying a crew of 22, including a drummer. The water will be filled with teams in colorful uniforms trying to take the title.

Kicking things off is the return of old favourite the Yen Fetish Halloween Party (798, Fri 28), where PVC-clad nurses go to dance, drink and pass out. DJs Mickey Zhang, Yangbing and Eddie Lv are among the faces behind the decks, but this is a sure thing for sweaty clubbers battling rubber rashes and ball-gag cramp. Unlike Xiu's two-night Halloween Party (Fri 28-Sat 29), which is the Park Hyatt Hotel's altogether more civilised affair – with not a drunk teenage vampire in sight.
The following day sees the return of Yen's biggest rival – Acupuncture's See listings for more details.yearly Spooked Halloween Party (Sat 29). This now legendary bash will, for the first time, take place in the impressive new premises of Lantern (see feature). How it will fare in its enormous new venue remains to be seen, but with DJs Elvis T, M Ross and Weng Weng behind the decks for the night, we're eager to find out.
Battling Lantern is Punk's plucky Infused Halloween Party (Sat 29), which has good DJing credentials in the form of Mickey Zhang and Ou Yang. But we're holding out for D-22's annual Punk Karaoke Night (Sun 30). If we can't scream Back in Black at the top of our lungs to a roomful of pissed-up rockers, then it just isn't Halloween.

|The first part of the paper presents the evolution of Romanian educated migration during the last years with a special emphasis on the case of Romanian educated migrants in France. We analyze the reasons that lie behind this migration and the strategies employed in order to leave Romania. Furthermore, we proceed at a description of the problems encountered in France and of the changes that occur in the lives of migrants once at destination. We identify three overlapping dimensions that undergo important transformations due to mobility: the spatial dimension, the temporal dimension and the relational dimension. Mobility transforms the way people conceive space, time and relations to others. These transformations are further deepened by the new ICT developments. The second part of the paper puts forward the relations maintained with family and kin in the origin country. The low cost of transportation and its high speed enable migrants to make trips home more often and their family and kin to come and visit them at destination. However, in recent years immaterial flows have gained ground over material ones. Networks built between migrants and their kin and family in the home country are analysed in terms of recent developments in ICTs which affect both the nature and the frequency of the contacts. They enable migrants to act as agents of change in the origin society allowing them to be virtually present while physically absent. These relations of co-presence engender an important two – way flow of information, values and ideas. This flow enables migrants to keep informed of the events occurring in their home country and at the same time brings changes in the lives of those who remained behind.

This product is currently not available for purchase
The new ABM 1000 head pairs the much loved ABM Evo 3 pre amp with a monstrously powerful Class D power section resulting in a huge increase in power coupled with a dramatic reduction in weight. Whilst the same size as an ABM 500 head the ABM 1000 produces 1000 watts RMS into one 4 ohm/2 x 8 ohm outputs(2000 watts peak) and weighs in at only 9.6 kg.
Product Ref: 25623
The ABM 1000 EVO III is a 1000 watts RMS bass amp head designed to satisfy both bass-purists and tech-heads alike. Three straightforward rotary tone controls provide 20dB of cut and boost at 60Hz, 660Hz and 5kHz, and are supplemented by two pairs of additional sliders giving 15dB cut and boost at 180Hz, 340Hz, 1.3kHz and 2.6kHz. The EQ can be switched in/out by a footswitch, enabling players to go from a flat fretless sound to a boosted sound via a favourite EQ setting. A single input is switchable for passive and active instruments with a blend of solid state and dual triode tube preamps stages which can be preset and selected by footswitch, providing access to a massive range of clean, warm and overdriven tones.
Also footswitchable is the on-board compressor and the mighty Ashdown sub-harmonic generator which precisely tracks the main signal and reproduces it an octave lower. A sub-harmonic level control enables the player to add just the right amount of low-end reinforcement - everything from a subtle thickening of the sound to unbridled, bone-crushing tone. The ABM 1000 EVO III features a front-panel mounted balanced DI out with pre or post EQ switching, a tuner output, an FX loop and a line input for the connection of an external sampler or sound source. Output muting cuts the signal from the DI output but leaves the tuner output 'live', allowing the player to tune up in silence. A newly developed Class D power section has a fast transient attack, massive headroom and makes this the lightest ABM head yet.
The product price includes 6 years' warranty and 180 day money back guarantee.

When the boys were a bit younger and we lived in the arctic state of Pennsylvania (hey-I'm a Florida girl!) we lived in a house that looked eerily close to the Brady Bunch house. And because of the house being built in that era it tended to have bathrooms in "unique" colors. Luckily for us ours was blue. The tub/shower = blue. Toilet=blue. Tile=white with blue. And if I remember correctly, the countertop may have been blue as well. We {Read More}
The Duckie Tote
Recycled Duckies
My previous post shared just how many little projects I have going on my table and in my head. Well, I spend the last few days working on a tall tote with some new fabric I found at Hancocks. The blue exterior fabric is a medium-weight home decor with a look of denim to it. The yellow stripe I used for the lining, straps and top band is also a medium weight home decor. The fun part of this {Read More}
Ever get frustrated on a new project?
Do you ever get a great idea in your head for a project, but when it actually comes down to DOING it, it doesn't turn out like you planned? Well, I'm in that place right now. I've been working on an adorable bag pattern for a week or so now. It's a tall tote with a set of pockets for cell phones, etc and a zippered pocket for the secret stuff. I managed to get the dimensions for the bag {Read More}
I've been trapped in my wo-man cave!
Well, I wouldn't say trapped, but I have actually had some time between kids activities and routines to sneak some time in my craft room to work on some projects and ideas floating around in my head.

I used 6 different pieces {Read More}
The Bias Tape Bag
I have had this bag idea in my head for awhile, but never dug into it until recently. The idea I had was to take a nice small tote and add a colorful fabric accent to it in a different way.

WATCH: ITV broadcast is photobombed by a man carrying a 'dead' SQUIRREL
A LUNCHTIME bulletin was upstaged this afternoon when an unnamed man strolled behind journalist Romilly Weeks holding a SQUIRREL.
The photobombing took place during the ITV midday news bulletin and has caused a FUR-ore across social media.
Journalist Ms Weeks, who was broadcasting live from outside the Houses of Parliament in London, did not notice the passerby holding a squirrel by its tail.
Fellow ITV colleague Jamie Roberton tweeted: "A man just walked past (Ms Weeks) with a dead squirrel live on ITV News."
Apparently it's squirrel appreciation day. Would have thought they'd prefer to be appreciated alive #SquirrelAppreciationDay— Romilly Weeks (@romillyweeks) January 21, 2015
Loling at the guy with the squirrel on itv news, where was he going?— Tanya (@tanyaking91) January 21, 2015
The guy with the squirrel on ITV news, where was he going?
Ms Weeks soon saw the funny side – posting on her own social media page: "Oh dear upstaged on the lunchtime news by a dead squirrel."
One twitter user, Tanya, asked: "The guy with the squirrel on ITV news, where was he going?"
Some believe the squirrel was dead – whilst others rushed to point out that today – January 21 – is Squirrel Appreciation Day.
ITV Political Correspondent Ms Weeks, who had been discussing the highly-anticipated Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq War during the live broadcast, added: "Apparently it's Squirrel Appreciation Day.
"Would have thought they'd prefer to be appreciated alive."

Cute Critter Clippers
Ahh, the miracle of a magnetic backing! Many a time I've dreamed of how much more organized I would be if I could simply attach all those important things to my fridge. Although pet nail clippers are not exactly a daily necessity, if I had to tell you where they were in my house right now, I wouldn't have a clue. And that's where these clippers come in. The stainless steel blade can be used to clip the nails of a hamster, guinea pig, rabbit, or other small pet. And, with its animal head case to attach to the fridge, this can double as
a cute magnet to hold your grocery list making both

Picture: Nigel Lythgoe arrives at the BAFTA LA's 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards TV Tea Party at Century Plaza Hotel Century City, California - 27.08.10
Returning producer Nigel Lythgoe has suggested that morale among the American Idol crew slid during the past two years "because everyone was always so worried about ratings and Simon going or Simon not going, it ceased being fun." In an interview with TVGuide , Lythgoe said that the addition of Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler as judges has changed the "atmosphere" on the set. "and I think the chemistry is great in comparison to where it went [in the last few seasons]," he told the magazine. "Randy [Jackson has]come out of The Shadows, I'm really happy with Randy. Randy is Simon Cowell now. Stephen is a lot of fun. And Jennifer just cares." Lythgoe laughed off rumors of an on-set feud between Lopez and host Ryan Seacrest, then fueled the rumors by remarking tongue-in-cheek, "Jennifer can flutter her eyelashes and Ryan can't, so he's madly jealous about that."


text: Hi, My name is Lizzy and I'm 16 years old. I am really interested in making apps, coding and graphic design. I hope one day to be a video game designer. But how can I work towards my goals? Let me explain. In Graphic Arts class today, my teacher told me that nobody ever designs anything professional using Gimp. Only photoshop and high end things like that. I love photoshop, but it's not like I can afford it or anything. I don't have a job, or a credit card, or rich parents. The second thing is, it's not like I have all that much skill. I'm working on my website for my app-making "company", Silver Moon Productions. But, I can't even make a banner that turns out nice -.-' I don't know how to invent a cool logo or anything. And I don't know how to be professional. Like, at all. I'm afraid to get my first job too, because of this. I don't know the kinds of things to say and stuff like that. Even though I haven't made an app yet, I'm experimenting with Google app inventor. But if I don't have enough art skill or the right programs to make it look professional, whats the point? I've seen tons of apps on the market without any skill in art, or that are plain boring or dont work. I dont want to be like that. I'm serious about this. But there's nobody with the time to teach me all this. I feel so much like a little kid without the means to achieve my dreams. What should I do? Any thoughts? Thanks for reading

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by towtruck212, Mar 25, 2009.
Does anyone use a 72" walkbehind on residental lawns and how small of lawn have you used them on?
We had 2 or 3 of them back in the mid 90's. I forget the exact amount, its been awhile. SCAG units with 25hp Kohlers and velkies. Units worked great and we used them on just about every property we had. Small or large. Some properties it only took 3 passes and the front yards were done. Traded them in for Toro Groundmasters. More operator comfort, that's all. Personally I wish we still had them. They were very versatile and would cut anything. Now we have just our 62" units left along with the Groudmasters.
72" for resis? Way too big. Sometimes I feel my 36" mower is too big on those 1/4 acre lots.
here in Pennsylvania lots range from a postage stamp to acres so I think a 72"
would be handy.
there was a guy on this site called Rodfather but haven't heard from in a long time. I believe if you search you can find his responses to why he uses bigger WB units and why. I believed Ferris was what he used.
They still have 72" wb's? I thought that no one makes a 72 any more and only have 60" as the biggest.
the one i have is like a 2000 year i dont know if they make new ones. I think it is awesome a 72" walkbehind.
I have to agree with this !!
I use a 72" ZTR on every lawn I cut. Some of the lawns are only 1/4 acre and I have no problem.

I have a 2004 Toyota Camry, 4 cyl., auto transmission, with about 75,500 miles. I have never changed the transmission fluid. When I was a a quick oil change place at 75,000 miles, the oil change guy said I should have them flush and refill my transmission fluid. Since I am skeptical, cynical and cheap by nature, I figured he was just trying to sell me a $130 service on top of the $25 oil change. I asked my local mechanic, who said that if I haven't been changing the tranny fluid regularly every 30,000 miles or so, changing it now would "blow the transmission" because the viscosity of the new fluid was so different than the dirty old fluid with metal particles and other gunk in it. Can I and should I have the tranny fluid flushed and changed?
You would get as many opinions on this as the miles on your car. Seems like best practice would be to do a pan drop and fluid & filter change now. Repeat in 15KM. Your transmission has a drain plug and that makes the job easy. On the 2nd change you might want to skip the pan drop and just drain and refill the tranny. Make sure you buy the ATF from the dealer. If I am not wrong your car calls for Type IV ATF from Toyota and it is a formula limited to Toyota. Check your owner's manual...
Galant is right, and do NOT do a flush! Also if not done you need to replace brake fluid and bleed brakes,replace anti freeze. Ask around and find a good local repair shop. I would not use quick lube or trans or tire store.
Yes, you should have the transmission fluid changed, but I don't think you should allow either the "oil change place" or your local mechanic, to change it.
I'd stay away from the oil change place because I think these places should be avoided at all costs, even for oil changes.
I'd stay away from the local mechanic because he's really thinking old school on this issue.
How can new fluid possibly be bad for the transmission? If he believes that why does he change oil in an engine? Isn't he worried about the new oil "blowing the engine?"
You should have been having the transmission fluid replaced at the interval specified in the owner's manual, but even though you haven't, it's still "better late than never."
Replace the fluid, and if there's a filter it should be replaced, too. Use only Toyota automatic transmission fluid. I'd suggest you allow a Toyota dealer to service the transmission, but I doubt you'll be willing to spend the money.
Mcparadise has summed it up very well.Have the trans fluid changed--NOT flushed.
And, whatever you do, please stay away from quick oil change places.Since many of the employees at those places cannot do a simple oil change without damaging the (pick one or more) engine/transmission/cooling system/brake hydraulic system, you are courting danger by using them for the servicing of your car.
Just get it changed not flushed at an indepedent and don't believe bunk from local guy.
Majority of drivers never do it and make it into the 150k-200k range without any issues. Doing it every 30k-75k is good measure if not specified.
If it fails it is very expensive to replace.
Someone who is "cheap by nature" should prefer spending a small amount of money on required maintenance versus spending at least $1000 on the new transmission that may be looming in your future.
I have a 2005 camry. I'd drain the fluid, drop the pan, change the trans filter and then refill with castrol import trans fluid. The problem is the 2005 camry has like 3 transmissions and the after market filter I bought at Pep Boys fit the gasket but not the filter. Another kit fit the filter and not the gasket so I had to buy both. Cost $60. Castrol is $5 a quart and that's 20 bucks. Get an offset wrench to get at 2-3 bolts on the left side that is tight. Will take you 3 hours max. Have fun. It's easy and you'll know it was done right. I change my fluid every 9K and the filter 30-50K.
So $60 is still less than dealer price for the set?
Also, do you know the torque for the pan bolts?
I am getting the Type IV from local dealer for $4.29, but so far I haven't dropped the pan.
$1000 will not put in a new transmission in a Toyota. It might make a down payment on one. Those suckers are expensive.
How can new fluid possibly be bad for the transmission? If he believes that why does he change oil in an engine? Isn't he worried about the new oil "blowing the engine?"
You are right, he may be old school. But, I have followed this debate for years, and the reasoning, which I do not think applies for a Camry, is flushing it knocks loose all sorts of embedded crud and that can screw up the transmission. This is one of those "everyone has two or three opinions" topics, and I personally do not buy it. This car is not that old.
Other people say the reason transmissions fail after a long delayed flush or replace is simply because they don't think to service it until it already starts acting badly, and it was going to blow anyway.
Different people do different things. Every so often when I think of it, I drop 3 quarts in my Sienna and add back three quarts of synthetic fluid. I am told the Sienna does not have a filter but a screen, and they do not require it be changed. If yours has a filter, then I'd agree to change it.
That's parts and labor cost on a rebuild, before markup!

Decision 2002 is officially under way. The political candidates have been campaigning for months, declaring their intent to run for office or announcing the formation of a committee to look into the possibility. But this week, qualifying came and went, requiring contenders to put up or shut up unless they're running as an independent candidate or they're vying for a non-partisan office like the Clarke County school board or a judgeship. The qualifying period for those posts is July 29 through Aug. 2.

Two years ago, primary elections yielded some big surprises in Clarke County. Long-time incumbents lost races for state Senate, sheriff and district attorney. Some people say that represented a resurgence of community activism and a changing of the guard in local government. Others claim the incumbents merely took re-election for granted and didn't campaign hard enough. And few would disagree that the results were in part driven by Republicans crossing over to vote for Democrats who'd be easier to beat in the November general election.
This election year, this newspaper will do better at identifying and explaining the issues and pinning candidates down to compare how they stand on those issues. The goal is to make our election coverage more citizen-based, focusing on your agenda items as much as those targeted and touted by the candidates.
This shift to more citizen-based coverage will require your help. We need to know what you consider the key challenges facing our community, our region and our state. On which issues do you want specifics from candidates? How can we help you get more involved in the civic process? How can we help you make more informed decisions?
In the next two months, our news coverage will focus on contested primary races in Clarke and contiguous counties. If a candidate is unopposed in the primary, his or her coverage will be minimal until after the Aug. 20 primaries and Sept. 10 runoff elections.
Citizen-based coverage will require us to downplay the ''horse race'' polls on who's ahead on any given day. Also, don't expect a lot of analysis of campaign strategy or coverage of quick-stop candidate appearances. There are way too many candidates making campaign speeches to small groups to cover them all.
We will try to help establish candidates' qualifications by providing basic biographic information and a summary of their top priorities if elected. You'll see what they consider top agenda items, and we'll ask them to address your questions and concerns, too. Coverage will be heaviest in the two or three weeks prior to primary and general elections.
What about political endorsements? As in the past, we will not endorse candidates in most primary elections, but we will for many local races in the November general election. Half the daily newspapers in America have stopped endorsing candidates, but I'm glad we're not among them. We offer opinions on important local issues most days, so commentary on candidates we consider most qualified for elected office seems only natural.
Know this about our endorsements: In no way are they an attempt to tell you how to vote. We might crusade to get you to the ballot box, but we respect your decision on how to vote when you get there. And since we will offer our opinions, we allow you to do the same. Letters and e-mails about issues and candidates are encouraged, just remember to keep them under 250 words. We will publish as many letters as space allows, trying to ensure balance and leaving room for commentary on non-political issues. Normally, we cut off letters about political candidates two weeks prior to the election.
If you miss any election story published in the newspaper, you'll be able to find it on our Web site, Online Athens. Go to onlineathens.com and click on the ''Decision 2002'' icon or use the keyword ''election.'' There you'll find previously published stories, lists, key dates, opinions and quick links to candidate Web pages and local and state elections offices.
A couple of key dates to remember. Voter registration continues through July 22 for primary elections. If you don't make that deadline, you can still vote in the November general election if you register by Oct. 7.
A democracy demands an active citizenry. Make sure you register to vote, follow the upcoming campaigns and vote on Election Day. And tell us what you want and need to know to make the most informed decisions at the ballot box.

Our Focus:
SC Appleseed works to safeguard all immigrants' rights, collaborating with state agencies to ensure that no unnecessary hurdles prevent immigrants from realizing the protections afforded by our laws. We also provide education and advocacy to our state's legislative delegations on immigrants' rights and the need for comprehensive immigration reform at the federal level.
SC Appleseed gives special attention to the plight of immigrant children, who in many cases are here through no decision or effort of their own, but under current law have no path to citizenship and its benefits. These efforts include advocating for policy improvements through the Children's Justice Act Task Force, a committee of the Children's Law Center at USC School of Law, and providing training to the South Carolina Guardian ad Litem Program.
Current Projects:
DACA Renewal Assistance: Brought to the United States as babies and young children, the young immigrants ("Dreamers") we work with are passionate, hard working, and hopeful for a bright future in the only country they've ever really called home. In 2012, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program provided these Dreamers with a temporary legal status and a work permit until a permanent solution is approved by Congress. Today, more than 4,000 young noncitizens in South Carolina are now driving, working and going to school, because of DACA. And we see them not only benefiting financially, but integrating more fully into and working to improve the communities where they live. Learn more about our work to assist young people and their families with DACA.
Immigrants Rights Trainings: We've created and facilitate training programs on immigrants' rights which have been offered to English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and immigrant students, through the Department of Education, and to social workers handling cases of abuse, through the Department of Social Services. We also work directly with immigrant communities in every corner of South Carolina to help them understand their rights and the opportunities they have in our communities, empowering Dreamers and their families to get involved in our efforts to better South Carolina, and assisting them with navigating an ever changing immigration system.
South Carolina Immigration Coalition (SCIC): The SCIC is a statewide coalition of leaders in faith, secular, civil and human rights communities and organizations working under the principle of social justice through inclusivity. They first came together in 2010 under the leadership of SC Appleseed Legal Justice Center with funding from The Leadership Conference Education Fund to fight the SC Legislative initiative to amend the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Act (2008). Find out more about the SCIC.
Our Resources:
Our brochures, publications and other resources on immigrants' rights and immigration reform can be accessed here.
All of SC Appleseed's informative brochures and resources can be accessed en Espanol here.
Major Immigration Wins:
Read the latest updates on our Immigration Work on the SC Appleseed blog.
2014: Nearly two and half years after filing the class action lawsuit Low Country Immigration Coalition v. Haley in response to SB20/Act69 (i.e. South Carolina's "papers please" law), an agreement was reached and adopted that provides a step forward for our state and for communities across the nation. Read more about this settlement on our blog.
2011: SC Appleseed joined a broad coalition of state and national public interest organizations to sue the State of South Carolina and enjoin the enforcement of South Carolina's anti-immigrant Arizona copycat law (SB20/Act69).
2008: SC Appleseed successfully advocated for exceptions in the anti-harboring provision of a state immigration law that would have made it a felony for humanitarian organizations to provide assistance to an undocumented immigrant. Had these exceptions not been included, staff at domestic violence shelters, food banks, hospitals, clinics or churches could have been jailed simply for doing charitable work.
2007: SC Appleseed collaborated with the Department of Education to stop the illegal practice in some school districts of demanding a child's social security number before enrolling the student.

Looking for a cheaper way to get hitched? Head abroad, experts claim
MORE Brits are having their weddings abroad, according to new figures.
The number of couples tying the knot in places like Australia and Fiji has risen by almost a fifth in the last year.
The average cost of a wedding in the UK is around £20,500. But because of the strong pound lovers can save around £12,000 by having their ceremony in a foreign country, money transfer firm HifX said.
Experts say overseas bashes are cheaper because they have fewer guests and more affordable smaller venues.
Mark Bodega, from HiFX, said: "Weddings are notoriously expensive, and unfortunately it doesn't look like getting hitched in the UK is going to get much cheaper any time soon.
With the likes of Mauritius, Fiji, Thailand and Australia boasting beautiful settings, low costs, and favourable exchange rates, it's no wonder that we're seeing more and more couples heading abroad to tie the knot.
"Having seen such a huge rise in the number of couples getting hitched overseas the past year, we'd expect the next five to ten years to see an even more noticeable flow of couples abandoning traditional British settings for sunnier shores."
He added couples should look at low tax rates when booking caterers or a DJ with the US having no VAT while in the Canary Islands it is 7%.
Among the celebrities that have wed abroad are boxing star Amir Khan who married Faryal Makhdoom in New York in 2013, while telly presenter Davina McCall renewed her vows with hubby Matthew Robertson in Las Vegas in April.

Olshan Employment Litigation Team Obtains Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants for Florida Client
November 22, 2013
Olshan attorney Matteo Rosselli represented Point Blank Enterprises, an international leader in the design and manufacture of body armor, in obtaining a broad injunction enjoining former Point Blank employees from starting up a competing body armor business. A Florida judge agreed with Olshan and Florida counsel, Berger Singerman LLP, that the ex-employees had misappropriated Point Blank's confidential information and breached their non-compete and non-solicitation agreements and should be sidelined for 4½ months. The court further held that the former employees would be prohibited from soliciting Point Blank's customers and employees for 16½ months. The case is now moving forward to a trial on damages.

NAURU – The Australian government is cruelly and intentionally destructing the physical and mental integrity of hundreds of men, women and children, an Amnesty International report has found.
Over several months of investigation researchers were given access to Nauru's asylum seeker processing centre and undertook hundreds of interviews with people living on the island.
Their findings, released in a report earlier this week, accused Australia's offshore processing policies as a direct violation of international law and a deliberate act of torture of "some of the world's most vulnerable people."
Amnesty's Senior Director of Research, Anna Neistat, says the government is pursuing a model that minimises protection and maximises harm, warning that Australia is facing a "dangerous plunge to the bottom of refugee protection."
"The government of Australia has isolated vulnerable women, men and children in a remote place which they cannot leave, with the specific intention that these people should suffer. And suffer they have – it has been devastating and in some cases, irreparable."
The report found Nauru is not equipped to receive any refugees but currently it holds the third highest proportion of refugees per capita in the world. Asylum seekers make up 1,159 of the total 10,000 inhabitants on the island.
Hopelessness, debilitating uncertainty over their future and a sense of being trapped were listed as key reasons for why nearly everyone interviewed in July this year reported mental health issues including anxiety, sleeplessness and mood swings.
The report also detailed dozens of stories of severe despair leading to attempted suicides, including a man who had tried to kill himself twice in ten weeks and another Iranian refugee who had tried to kill herself several times a week.
There were also numerous instances of children suffering from severe depression after being abused, with examples of vomiting, bed wetting, constant screaming and even 'autism-like' symptoms detailed.
Asylum seekers on Nauru are also experiencing abuse outside of the processing centre itself. Verbal, physical and sexual assaults of men, women and children are commonplace, although no Nauruans have ever been held responsible for any attacks.
A Bangladeshi refugee living outside the centre said he was attacked earlier this year in May by a group of men who threw a rock at him and kicked him off his motorbike.
"They beat me unconscious and stole my motorbike. I am still in pain from the injuries," he said.
Asylum seeker children have also been denied access to education because of physical and verbal abuse of teachers and local children.
The report says they are "subjected to countless daily humiliations that have cumulatively served to dehumanise them and violate their dignity."
The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection responded to the report and said many of its claims were repeated and had already been refuted.
"In many cases the report references unsubstantiated claims made by individuals or advocacy groups as fact in the absence of evidence."
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull also responded saying the accusations of torture were "absolutely false" and called the government's commitment "compassionate and strong."
"There are 1200 people..from whom we can never hear because they drowned at sea," he also said.
The Australian government is spending billions on the current off-shore processing system. The National Audit Office estimated that operations on Nauru and Manus Island cost $573,000 per person per year.
Dr Neistat who undertook the majority of the research said she was unprepared for what she saw and heard in the centre and likened it to her 15 years of crisis work in Syria, Yemen and Chechnya.
She said questions needed to be asked because the suffering was unnecessary and hidden by "shocking" secrecy.
"The Australian authorities should come to the same conclusion, shut down the "processing" centre on the island, and make a better use of taxpayers' money by recognising that every asylum-seeker and refugee on Nauru has the right to come to Australia immediately. These people cannot wait a moment longer for a humane solution."

Cheap flights to Duluth, Minnesota (MN)
When is the best time to fly to Duluth?
The period from May to September tends to be the best time to visit Duluth. During this period the city is perfect for outdoor activities. The climate is pleasantly temperate, having the advantage of cooling breezes off the lake, and there are a number of beaches on which to relax. November to March is another key period for enjoying the city and its picturesque surrounding area. This is the cold weather sports season. Accommodation is slightly more expensive during the American school holiday periods. The well regarded Bayfront Blues Festival takes place in September.
Duluth overview
The Minnesota port city of Duluth is situated at the westernmost point of the Great Lakes area, on the shore of Lake Superior, the world's largest freshwater lake. A small and friendly city, it has a unique and quirky charm and plenty of attractions. The Aerial Lift Bridge is perhaps the city's most renowned landmark; a massive steel and cable structure that is over 100 years old. Close to the bridge is the Great Lakes Aquarium. Mostly freshwater, this impressive building features habitats and animals found within the Great Lakes region. The historic Glensheen Mansion is a 39-room Jacobean style building open to the public and offering a fascinating glimpse into the early 20th century. For a fabulous view of the lake and surrounding area you'll want to visit Enger Park and Tower. The tower offers an unparalleled 360 degree panoramic thrill, and the park is noted for its exquisite Japanese style garden. In many ways it is Canal Park, however, that is the centre of Duluth. This huge green space offers a massive selection of things to enjoy, including the hugely popular Grandma's Restaurant, the Lake Superior Marine Museum and Duluth Entertainment and Convention Centre, offering shows, concerts and movies. A great family day out can be enjoyed at Lake Superior Zoo, which features hundreds of native and exotic animal species in painstakingly reconstructed environments, open all year round. Of course, no visit to Duluth would be complete without taking advantage of the opportunity for a cruise on beautiful Lake Superior. There are a number of cruise boat options to choose from.
Getting around Duluth
Getting around Duluth is easy and convenient thanks to the comprehensive public transport system offered by the Duluth Transit Authority. During peak hours, an average of 45 buses are in operation. The perfect way to enjoy this attractive part of the world is by way of the North Shore Scenic Railroad. During May to September several trains a day travel through the city centre area and Canal Park before cruising along the Lake Superior shore. Fully narrated tours tell the fascinating history of the area.
Getting from the Airport to the City
Duluth International Airport (DLH) is about 5.5 miles (9 km) northwest of the city. Duluth Transit Authority offers a bus service from the airport into the city; a journey that is reasonably priced and takes around an hour and a quarter. If you prefer a swifter and more direct way into the city, the airport has a taxi area. Fares are slightly open to negotiation.

Lenovo Introduces the A1000, A3000 and S6000 Android-Powered Tablets at MWC [Updated]
Mobile World Congress is now underway. We've already been introduced to the Galaxy Note 8.0 and Samsung's new HomeSync media streamer last night. This morning Huawei introduced us to the Ascend P2. Now Lenovo is showing off some brand new Android tablets in Barcelona this week. These include the 7-inch A1000, and A3000 and a 10-inch S6000. All of these run Android 4.1 – Jelly Bean but aren't quite high-end, they are more mid-range, low-end tablets.
Black Friday 2017 Deals: Find Great Deals on Android Smartphones, TV's, Smart Speakers, Chromebooks and More.
First up is the S6000, which has some okay looking specs, nothing that'll blow you away:
- 10.1-inch IPS 1280×800 display, along wit a 178-degree viewing angle
- 1.2GHz quad-core MediaTek 8389/8125 processor
- 8.6mm thick
- Weighs 560 grams
- 8 hours of battery life
- HSPA+ connectivity
Those aren't the complete specs, but that's all we have at this time for the S6000. So It's not high-end but it's not that bad of a tablet either. But for it to sell well, they'll need to have the S6000 selling at about $200-250.
Next is the A1000 and A3000. The A3000 has about the same specs as the S6000, except it's a 7-inch IPS display with a 1024×600 resolution. It does also have an optional HSPA+ radio on board. The A1000 is their other 7-inch tablet which has a 1.2GHz dual-core processor along with Dolby Digital Plus audio. Both the A1000 and A3000 have microSD card slots, but the A3000 can handle a 64GB microSD card, while the A1000 tops out at 32GB. The A1000 also has 16GB on board storage.
All three of these tablets should be available in Q2 with worldwide availability, and Lenovo has said these will be coming Stateside. So far there's no pricing information which is normal at events like Mobile World Congress. We've got more press shots down below for you to check out. These are some pretty good looking tablets, especially the S6000, 10-inch tablet. Once we learn more about pricing we'll be sure to pass it along. Let us know in the comments below if you'd be interested in a Lenovo tablet that's running Android 4.1.
Update: The S6000, and A3000 are said to be running on Android 4.2, while the A1000 is running Android 4.1. We've gotta give Lenovo a pat on the back for being the first OEM to offer a device with Android 4.2.

HOME SECRETARY David Blunkett last night faced demands to release female inmates on compassionate grounds as prison mother and baby units are reaching crisis point.
Jail chiefs - already trying to cope with overcrowding as numbers of women inmates mushroom - have a new headache as Holloway prison's mother and baby unit is massively oversubscribed.
The other three units in England and Wales are also believed to be approaching capacity.
A prisons source said the 17 places at the mother and baby unit at Holloway, in north London, are full with another two women being held in a local hospital.
Three other expectant women being held on the normal wings of the jail are believed to be due to give birth imminently.
A prison reform charity called on Mr Blunkett to grant compassionate release to non-dangerous inmates who are nursing mothers.
"The Home Secretary must act now. I urge the Prison Service to do a risk assessment and release these women," said director Frances Crook.
"The babies have not been sentenced to imprisonment. The rights of these infants take precedence over the criminal justice system's desire for revenge. We should not allow the innocent second generation to be punished in this way."
The rapid rise in numbers is thought to have been partly caused by growing numbers of foreigners being sentenced for drugs offences, such as acting as "mules" to bring in Class A drugs.
In 1998 the Holloway inmate, known only as E, brought a High Court judicial review against the Prison Service over plans to separate her from her newborn child, resulting in rules being changed.
A Prison Service order introduced in 1999 said, "The best interests of the child are paramount in any decision on the provision or allocation of places in the unit."
Ms Crook said, "Prison is not a healthy environment for babies and young children. The overwhelming majority of women sent to prison are on remand or serving short sentences and the Howard League is urging courts to avoid prison remands or sentences for women at all costs.
"Women with babies should never be held in prisons. Only a handful require secure conditions and small secure units should be provided for them, and the rest released under the super-vision of the probation service."
