The series shows "how artists can seismographically sense changes ahead of time and incorporate these" into their films, says Berlinale director.Berlin -- A special series of films at this year's Berlinale film festival commemorates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Under the motto, "After Winter Comes Spring", documentaries, animations and feature films made in eastern Europe in the years leading up to the fall of communism are due to be screened.
According to the Museum for Film and Television in Berlin, at the time of their production, the films gave an honest view of life under totalitarian regimes, auguring the changes that lay ahead.
The documentary film "Christine," which gives its name to the series of screenings, by the director Helke Misselwitz, gives an insight into the lives of women in the German Democratic Republic.
In the film, a coal factory worker scrubs the dirt from her body every evening before returning home to her son and her disabled daughter. The single mother speaks into the camera, saying society ridicules her and considers her daughter a burden.
"Jadup and Boel," a film by East German director Rainer Simon, is a fictional story about comrade Jadup, the mayor of an East German town, who realizes mistakes about his past and asks critical questions about the present.
The film, produced in 1981, was the last to be made by the East German DEFA film studios, which were closed down by the authorities shortly afterwards.
The site later reopened as Babelsberg Studios, a name which graces several productions at the Berlinale, including opening film "The International."
Other productions include Bulgarian film "The Contess," about the unusually liberal atmosphere at the World Festival of Youth and Students in 1968, and the consequences for a young woman trying to make the most of these freedoms.
The animated film "Tale of Tales" was produced in the USSR in 1979. The director, Juri Norstein, fought for years to make this personal reconstruction of the tragedies of the 20th century. Soviet censors eventually banned its original title, "The Little Grey Wolf Will Come," suspecting that it contained hidden messages. The series also includes films from Romania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Bulgaria.
Dieter Kosslick, director of the Berlinale film festival, says the series shows "how artists can seismographically sense changes ahead of time and incorporate these" into their films.
Berlin is the focal point of anniversary celebrations marking the end of communism, 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

In The Disciplined Mind, Howard Gardner argues that K-12 education should strive for a deep understanding of three classical principles: truth, beauty, and goodness.
Such an understanding requires mastery of the major disciplines that human beings have created over the centuries. As powerful examples of his approach, Gardner describes an education that illuminates the theory of evolution, the music of Mozart, and the lessons of the Holocaust. Far from the standardized test mentality that has gripped both policy makers and the public, Gardner envisions an education that preserves the strengths of a traditional humane education while preparing younger generations for the challenges of the future.
"A must-read for every educator, parent or anyone who cares about our children's future."Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence
"Gardner deserves credit for raising the sights of the public schools far above the banal level of the basics." The New York Times Book Review

Today thanks to a high level of technicality of our products, the fire-proof doors are lighter and close to traditional doors.
Our doors have been developed for inside installation and not intensive use only.
Flema was established in 2004 with the purpose of developing fire-proof products (roller shutters, sectional and sliding doors) of a design very close to traditional closing elements in order to achieve light, modern and easy to produce, assemble and install doors at very competitive prices.
To achieve this challenge, we have filed a patent. The concept is quite simple: synthetic profiles with an intumescent core.

(KYTX) - The Toys for Tots foundation needs your help making sure less fortunate children have something to smile about, this Christmas.
"We try to provide every child with at least three toys, along with some stocking stuffers."
That's a lot of toys when you're talking about as many as 1,500 kids, in Smith County.
Toys for Tots was started by U.S. Marines in 1947. Smith County Toys for Tots coordinator and former Marine, Larry Adkins, says they're not even close to collecting all the toys they need.
"What you see here will be about 1/3 of what we hand out this year."
Donated, unwrapped toys are handed out to parents several days before Christmas so they can be wrapped and placed under the tree just in time for Christmas morning.
"I get great joy. And, I enjoy it immensely, and I get blessed with it every day." says Adkins.
There are a few toy donating rules though. Clothes, food items, and toys that look like realistic weapons are not accepted. Toys for Tots is only collecting new and unused toys.
Volunteer Coordinator Fran Rodebaugh says the looks on parents' faces when they get their bag of toys is priceless.
"They get really excited."
Because they know their children won't have to go without on Christmas.
"I get enjoyment out of it just to know that we're helping families in the Tyler area, in Smith County who need help to make sure that their children get a good Christmas."

Did you notice this in the Metro this morning? The London Metro Newspaper spelt Nelson Mandela's name wrong... In big bold letters... FAIL!
I don't normally pick up a Metro these days because I roll with my iPad 3, which gives me the entire interweb at my finger tips during my commute to Canary Wharf from Wimbledon every morning, however my good friend Sean did notice something blatantly incorrect in the article covering Madiba's birthday yesterday...
Take a look as see if you can spot it... You've got 3 seconds... If you don't see it, then you seriously need to go to SpecSavers!
So who the hell is Mandiba?
Great to see that little South African school children can spell better than certain journalists and editors at the London Metro... Check the kids' banner 🙂 that makes it even more of a fail, they even published a picture with the correct spelling...
Haha 🙂 shame... Clearly no proof reading going on at the Metro 🙂
[Thanks Sean]

In Game 82, the Sharks face the Kings with playoff implications on the line. It's a rematch of Thursday's thrilling 6-5 Sharks win in which Ryane Clowe left his mark on the game -- and on the faces of multiple Kings.
PREVIEW: Sharks-Kings -- What to watch for
The chippy play isn't something Clowe and the Sharks are backing down from.
They just play a hard, good style. I dont think there will be much difference, Clowe said. Theres still a lot on the line and an opportunity to win the division. Weve been playing that way for awhile, weve had to play that sort of playoff hockey style to have an opportunity to get into the playoffs. Weve been playing that way and playing well, and I dont see that changing.
Clowe finished Thursday's win with a Gordie Howe hat trick, recording a goal, an assist and two fights. He boxed with Matt Greene in the first period and Kyle Clifford in the second.
Then, to add insult to injury, Clowe made a play you don't often see in the NHL. While standing on the bench in a 5-5 game with under three minutes to play, Clowe reached his stick onto the ice and disrupted a streaking Jarret Stoll.
Clowe was remorseful for the play afterward, and called it a "brain cramp."
He was asked if he expects to be targeted at all after his now-infamous play from the bench.
I doubt it. If I get targeted, Im more than willing and ready, he said.

text: Hi Everybody, I really need some advice in how to get my foot into the graphic design industry? My introduction to graphic design took me a lot longer to figure out, as after I left high school I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. But with always having a passion for art and drawing my college career took me down a very long and progressive route. From doing BTEC Art & Design courses to National Diploma Graphic Design. (All together I did 4 years of college). Moving onto to my University career I decided to do a 2 year Foundation degree course - followed by another 2 years B.A Hons Graphic design degree (Another 4 years of studying). Moving forward I graduated at the age of 24 with 2.1 degree in graphic design, But like any other student I had to move back home (duo to having no money or job). It became a time where my focus was not on graphics but on finding any job that could help me with an income. Fast forward 2 years later and I am still in my 9-5 job with no way of how to get back into graphics. Over the course of my university I have had worked with clients/ work experience, but I have sadly not done much since starting my 9-5 job. Can people give me some advice on where to go, My current thinking is: >Try to get some work experience? > Graduate scheme? My other problem is do I be honest with why I have had a 2 year break away from design? I would really appreciate any feedback Thanx Claire

Picture: Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, Dermot O'Leary, Dannii Minogue, Simon Cowell National Television Awards held at the Royal Albert Hall - Press Room London, England -...
Sharon Osbourne hopes Josh Homme catches syphilis after the Queens Of The Stone Age frontman blasted her and husband Ozzy for treating bands like "s**t" at their annual Ozzfest festival.
The rock matriarch took exception to Homme's recent comment, made following his experiences on the 2000 leg of the touring event.
When recently asked by U.S. magazine Blender what his worst summer job was, Homme said, "Ozzfest, because they treat the bands like s**t.
"And now, this year, you get to play for free, but it's under the guise of, 'No, we're doing it for the fans!' But it's really for the people who fan Sharon and Ozzy with palm fronds at their house.
"I only make mistakes once, and I won't be playing Ozzfest again."
But Sharon hits back, "I hope he gets syphilis and dies."

Unanswered: How do I view running backups or loads?
For some bizzare reason, for the life of me, I cannot remmember the command that I run to view running backups and loads... Sorry to ask such a basic question, I simple have forgotten the command to run which allows me to see the current backups or loads taking place.
sp_who will show me a little, but I know that there is another way to view more details for running backups and loads.
Thank you.

Baker Mayfield is completing 68.5 percent of his passes for 1,457 yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. Mayfield has two or more touchdown passes in 12 of his last 13 games. Dede Westbrook and Mark Andrews have combined for 790 receiving yards and nine touchdowns while Joe Mixon has 15 receptions. The Oklahoma Sooners ground game is averaging 215.4 yards per contest, and Samaje Perine leads the way with 461 yards and six touchdowns. Defensively, Oklahoma is allowing 36.2 points and 428.4 yards per game. Jordan Evans leads the Oklahoma Sooners with 44 tackles, Ogbonnia Okoronkwo has five sacks and Will Sunderland has one interception.
The Wildcats are 42-18-1 ATS in their last 61 conference games and 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 games in October. The Sooners are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 conference games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Wildcats are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings in Oklahoma and the over is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings.
You guys know how I feel about Bill Snyder, as the guy simply finds ways to compete and gets his lesser talented teams to find ways to cover spreads or even pull off upsets. You'll make a profit taking the Kansas State Wildcats and the points whenever you can. Kansas State has won two of the last four meetings against Oklahoma and the road team has won the last five games overall. Oklahoma also hasn't looked very good and it's defense has allowed 40-plus points in three straight games. This is a game where Kansas State at the very least can hang around due to the Sooners constant struggles defensively.
Give me Kansas State and the points.

Unanswered: db2 admin issue
There are two user accounts in my system running Windows 7 Professional OS.
1) Chandra
2) db2admin
After I created a local DB2 Server, I am able to insert,update, delete db2 tables only when I log in from db2admin.
When I login through Chandra user Id, I am able to execute only select queries. But this is the user id where I am logged in most of the time.
Can you guys please help me in making Chandra also get the privileges that is present for db2admin userid and execute all the queries (insert,update, delete) from this userid.

Cape Town - The Freedom Front Plus on Thursday again urged President Jacob Zuma to appoint a judicial inquiry into the arms deal.In a letter to Zuma, FF Plus spokesperson Pieter Groenewald said the arms procurement programme of the late 90s had since its start, until now, led to several repercussions of alleged corruption and bribery."I am aware that other investigations were done but in the meantime very important information has come to light," he wrote.One of the manufacturers of the Gripen fighter jets, Saab, had now publicly acknowledged that R24m was paid in bribes to people in South Africa through their former South African subsidiary, Sanip, which was controlled by BAE Systems."I am also aware that the directorate for priority crimes [Hawks] is at present busy following-up on these allegations."Doubts had, however, already been expressed as to whether the case would progress further at all."You, as president, are on record that you would have said that the government is serious about the eradicating of corruption and that it will not be tolerated."The arms deal is not only damaging the image of the SA National Defence Force but also that of the whole of South Africa."In my opinion the only real solution is that there will for once and for all be a final investigation about the whole arms deal programme."In the light of this, I request you to appoint a commission of inquiry, preferably a judicial commission, to investigate this whole matter. Finality about the issue could be secured though such an investigation and the books can then be closed," Groenewald wrote.
I agree, the whole thing stinks and is the 500 lb gorilla in the South African "room". Of course Zuma was only kidding when he said he would eradicate corruption. How will he make his millions without corruption?
the problem is Zuma doesnt care at all how he goes down in history...he only cares about now and all the money he can get!
- Hmm - as if this Anc govt. gives a hoot for the country's reputation or their thieving ,corrupt ways.
ANC will NEVER allow the Arms Deal to be LAID OUT BARE....
Their Saints, MANDELA, SISULU, MODISE and other ANC ELITE will be EXPOSED as the BIGGEST BENIFACTORS of the Arms Deal BRIBERY!!!!
God forbid the name Mandela gets TARNISHED!!!!
Zuma will not incriminate himself or any of his cronies, he don't have the ba…/ backbone to stand up for the people of South Africa. He is a song and dance politician which is raping the coffers of this country.
Career politicians is not representing the people but interest groups that paid a lot of money to get them where they are and this president will not give up his future income nor his stashed wealth.
Wasting your time. Zuma and his `friends Chippy Shaik and all those around him thru the front companies were up to their eyes in it. Read my book Shred when Read (Crest Publishing online)and After the Party.
ANC has done nothing but damage SA. BEE failed, Affirmative action disadvantages some, and sometimes puts incompetent people in positions of influence. Corruption is Everywhere, and goes Unpunished, the sure signed of a doomed economy. Someone has to pay for it and the people will while you enjoy the lavish lifestyle funded by the sweat of others. I motivate myself to stay in SA because I can make a difference, even if I only succedded at improving myself. Zuma, Malema, do the honorable thing. Put a gun to your head, make peace with yourself, ask the lord for forgiveness and pull the trigger.
The arms deal? Very interesting. Tony Blair had the same BRIBE problem with the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia. Tony Blair stopped the investigation by having some laws passedstopping nay investigation. The Germans had the same problem with us, the South Africans, and they declared through their "NPA" that the case is too complex and too huge to investigate and it would take years to complete. The German nation obliged.Now if you were living in Europe you would bribe anyone in Africa and be sure that you will get away with it, afterall their fiscus was boosted because we paid them extra for outdated weapons. It would take a miracle for Zuma to agree to this request unless he is a moron. Funny enough France, and the UK and Germany are still doing well as "democracies" in spite of being complicit in these bribes and deciding to stop any investigation thereof. Its only South Africa that will lose its credibility internationally but its strange becsause the bribe payers are exactly those prominent overseas countries. Now I dont condone bribes but its a very strange world indeed. And I dont believe the motive is altruistic.
Mandla, you are standing up for your black brothers, corruption is rife in SA and you seem to be making excuses. Yes it happens in the EU, but in a nutshell the mechanism of good governance and service delivery work in those countries. The ANC have been bad medicine for a healthy counrty and wasted billions, individuals should be held accountable and are not ?
@ Mandla - what about the poor masses in the country? The ones who are really suffering so that our politicians can live like kings on Blood money (I call it that cause that is exactly what it is - Taking the food out of the poor's mouth to enrich yourself)!
You make some valid points, but Blair's Labour Party supported the ANC. There is also a big difference between German/French/etc business individuals being involved in bribes and government officials.
Our lot should actually be tried for treason, since they did not procure the best weapons possible for our defence force.
Mandla please tell me how you are going to explain to your children and their children that you were ok with the plundering by the people that you voted for as you did not give damn about their future as long as the wicked whites never rule again?
The arms deal saga should be let to RIP. We have learnt from it. We should put in place measures to insure that it never happens again. The constant harping about it is giving SA a bad name. You lose some and make sure you win some.
Sorry Buddy, but I do not agree with you. How many apartheid criminals still have to stand trial for things that happened many years ago but ANC officials having their filthy little paws in every crime related pie must be left alone? To Hell with that!
Zuma owes South Africans Answers, not excuses!
Loving the way the DA and FF+ is a big thorn in the ANC's side.. Keep up the good work!
You can put as many measure in place as you like, but if you have the right couple of guys that is bought you can get away with it. Need to firstly get guys with the right morals in the positions
what have we learned?
that you can get away with massive fraud and corruption so long as you are in the ruling party and corrupt the correct number of high ranking people.
What I have learned is that there are very people currently occupying top spots that can be trusted.... and that is sad and disheartening, especially when the payroll taxes run each month.
what did you learn? please explain it to us stupid people that did not understand the lesson. the lesson the rest of us learned is that by not doing anything about it or anything else corrupt is giving SA the bad name
@Chaminuka... Can I murder one of your family and you say "We have learned from it" A crime is a crime and the guilty must be punished. SA has an attitude of corruption being OK...Well it is not!
We can't let it go Chaminuka, Zuma is guilty & he is in charge of this country. He vowed to fight corruption, so he has to investigate.
The year we knew he was going to become president, our pastor in a church where there's people from all walks of life, just before the election, told us that he has a sister-in-law who works in the government and they had proof Zuma was guilty of many of the 700 fraud and corruption charges. He asked us all to pray for this man as he was about to become president.
Ultimately the truth will be revealed. Those involved will eventually be exposed.
Who will reveal the truth ? The ANC call the shots. Unfortunately the ANC have the wheel and that wont change for a very long time.
The arms deal was berried once and will be again, even though corruption is not right it is the African way and European Nations exploit this. Payoff the few and capitalize on their greed...
Sorry to say it but maybe we are destined to join the other African nations at the bottom of the food chain squabbling over scraps left by larger nations all the while they rape our natural assets for foreign gain.
The sad part is that we had so much potential to be a really respected Nation, but sadly, due to our inability (lack of desire)to seriously tackle corruption and crime, we appear to be detined to hit the bottom of the food chain. We do not appear to really appreciate what we have here, and we take it for granted.
Manyoza... thanks for one of the more sane and pragmatic comments in a while. I truly grieve for what has become of the nation for which so many of us held out so much hope with the birth of a liberated SA in '94. Where is that liberation? Liberation is about so much more than the right to vote. It is about a state of mind, and alas, we South Africans seem to fall far short of that ideal. My poor children. We fought to bring them what we thought would be a nation for everyone, but what do we have? A slimepit of greedy, dishonest elitists. What a tragedy.
Right, do you really think Zuma is going to sanction writing his own "last rites"
He is one of the most guilty of them all, in the arms deal saga...!
Zuma is small fry in the arms deal. Really small fry. He has his issues to answer, but he was the great smokescreen.
just forget about politics for a moment.
The fact is the South African Government placed orders for arms.
It has come to light that a number of goverment ministers accepted bribes from the arms suppliers.
Shaik was found guilty, but how could he have processed the orders without the involvement of the Minister of Finance and without the approval of the President?
Therefore a crime has been committed. This makes those involved to be criminals.
Criminals must face charges and be punished.
The truth will never stay buried. It will come back to haunt those that are guilty.
Agree, agree, agree.
It does not matter how the RSA gov tries to squash the exposure, and hide away from the facts, the simple truth is that there are Nations that have enough integrity and moral standing out there that will, sooner or later, reveal a NAME or TWO. What then ? Will the RSA gov and ANCYL call them imperialists and other names.
Zuma and those involved don't care about me, you or even his own people. This and other waist-ed money could have helped a lot of their people, but no they need them to suffer so they can blame apartheid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now add ANCYL and its stupid leader, the ANC itself and you get more damage and more damage and more corruption, it will never end all the time you get stupid voters keeping them in power.
***The people of SA deserve all they get, plus the attitude and racism of blacks and whites in SA will never change***
After seven years in SA what do I see? I will tell you, you will not like it, but it really is the truth if people bothered to take a good look.
When I go in a supermarket mid morning with the older generation doing their shopping, I notice how the white ladies will move to avoid any close bypass with blacks WHY???
I find the attitude of the shop assistance BLACKS very rude and unnecessary.
When on the road the worse drivers you get are white middle-aged males, who think breaking the law and drive like a complete idiot is ok.
Then you get the racist attitude of the whites because they now cannot kick a black a*** and demand a days work for a rand.
When stopped by a police officer the only thing on his mind is how much can I get out of this white pig.
Then you add another hundred other unnecessary racist attitudes there is no hope.
Now add the worse crime in the world there really is no hope.
UNTIL you all put a stop to it and get real and forget the passed, you will never get anywhere.
Open you eyes all of you and you will see I am right.
Yours is a very shallow truth. You need to look a little further. Some of us are actually tryi9ng to get there, so please acknowledge that and give us our due.
Truth hurts Mr Truth, if you cannot change South Africa atleast change yourself, i'll do the same and so is the other guy.
Jacob 783 did not lie, manipulate and evade justice to become president for the sake of the country. Quite the contrary.
daaivark Yes some do try, I do business with some who really will not give up, but admit it is almost impossible.
The trouble daaivark try to deal with the local councils and straight away you feel the tension and racism.
Drive on the roads, its like a demolition derby with the manners of pigs.
Bag and slip checks at stores as if you are a criminal.
Bank charges the highest in the world. "My bank in the UK have not charged me one cent in 30 years"
In most counties of the world the police cannot stop you without good reason, here they do, not to implement the law just to get money.
In seven years I have been.
Robbed seven times.
Highjack and lost a car and almost my life.
Home broken into 3 times and had a gun put to my head.
Frightened by police.
Told by a bank I am the wrong colour.
Frightened by other motorist because I will not drive at 150 kph and they cannot pass.
The list is endless really, but I am still here triyng.
Perhaps I bring bad luck and should never of agreed to come here to create jobs and hope for a few.
The point I am trying to make is not really shallow it is a fact that unless people change it will only get worse.
im giving up on this guys, touch mafias, you cant crack them with juju opening his toilet every 6 seconds. you have done a lot to sink our ship, well done comrades
What happened to transparency, accountability and working on behalf of the people that vote you in to the govt?
The whole ANC govt should resign. They are all corrupt.
This letter is hilarious, yes mr president please would you get your best team out there to find more proof that you're a criminal so that we can all know for certain yet still do nothing about it, FF plus, I don't know if you guys remember that it was zuma that was on trial for the arms deal corruption, I really don't think he's going to want to be back there after pulling all those strings to get him off.
Oh, to be an ANC politician on the gravy train (at the feeding trough)! Abuse/neglect of the disadvantaged/supportive masses? Who cares? Just dish up more denials, more lies.

2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Questions
Get answers to your auto repair and car questions. Ask a mechanic for help and get back on the road.
Find questions for your car.
Sort by:
while driving when the motor is cold I have a hesitation. You can feel the jerk and release. The speedometer and tachometer do not move during the "jerk". If the motor was surging would it not affect the speedometer and tachometer?
mostly in the mornings with a cold motor.
Recently, it has been taking about 8-10 seconds of cranking to start when engine is at outside air temp (approx 70 deg. F) ; also having repeated 15-20 seconds of cranking when engine temp is fully warm (approx 180 deg. F); no check engine lites or codes; have replaced fuel filter and low pressure fuel line. no air bubbles in line; I have a DTS that can do live data readings - if there is something specific I should be looking for. Thanks.
It started about a year or two ago ....cold start issues....over the last 2 years it has gotten worse...I've had the fuel transfer pump replaced this past week...it started....got home and woke to 50 degrees out side and did not start...brought it back to the mechanic and he replaced the #3 fuel injector..it fired straight up ....got home and the next morning Thanksgiving ...it started at 5:30..thought to my myself great....a couple hours later leaving the house it would NOT start...cranked over but not start...so I decided to replace a relay and the heater grid .....it did not turn over....any other ideas would be greatly appreciated .. thank you
replaced fuel lift pump and started without either 20 times or so but each start cranking took longer. Now back to using either. replaced fuel rail pressure sensor did not help
It doesn't matter taking the battery cables loose or sticking a computer to check it. Both lights stay on!
lostmy battery amps -then battery fried then 2nd battery then starter went out-replaced batteries-,starter and alternator- now only 10 minuest later battery is low amping again! told the heater block was constantly running thou not on -almost on fir
why would my heater block be constantly running when not on draining my battery? fring my starter? and alternator?
ALTERNATOR, STARTER AND BATTERIES just replaced because batteries were low amping and fryed one battery and starter- checked all wiring and grounds -new batterys ST WONT HOLD CHARGE either and CONTINUING TO DRAIN BATTERY WHAT IS GOING ON ?
HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE REPLACING EVERYTHING AND ITS HAPPENING AGAIN what to do?
After running truck an shut off will not start. Will turn over but kills battery because it will not start until it cools down
After this my map lights came on. i took out the remote starter and seen that it was melted. The map lights will now not shut off. I had my truck scanned and it pulls no codes. I have turned the dimmer switch on and off, disconnected the battery, checked the fuses and none of this seems to be the problem. They even come on and flicker when I am driving. They are dim when flickering. Is there anyone else who has had this problem and is there a way to fix it?
I am showing a P0720 code on my 03 dodge cummins. I have had erratic shifts but only in the morning after setting for several hours. when the truck warms up it seems to do ok. i have changed the TPS on the advice of a local shop but made prob worse.
The truck seems to be confused when in OD and keeps downshifting and up shifting rapidly. Since the change of the TPS it seems to loose power and go to dead pedal for brief moments. As i said this problem only shows up after the truck has been setting for several hours. i can drive to work in the morning and it has these issues but when i go to lunch four hours later the problem is not there. same for when i go home at 5 there is no problem till the next morning.
power steering fluid leaks out of screw in lines with o rings replaced o rings same problem .
I'm purchasing this diesel , six speed and may have to replace clutch.
When I'm driving down the road after 15 mph the doors keep locking the door ajar light keeps beeping and dome light is on only when on the throttle but when I let off throttle everything stops. And cruise control it doesn't do those things.
the a/c works in the truck but when you turn on the heater it doesnt heat up and it stays cold and when you try to change the direction of the air blowing it stays on the front blowers and it stays cold how do i get the heat working on it again it just randomly went out
Get an estimate and never overpay again
RepairPal guarantees your repair will be done right.

In other languages, there will be a huge craze for remake movies. but in telugu, if we look at sequels, the success rate is almost zero.
That is why out directors and actors think a lot before making a sequel. Now, nagarjuna is in such a plan. Earlier there was news that a sequel for soggade chinni nayana titles Bangarraju has been planned. But, there is no guaranty that the movie will be made. Recently in an interview, Nag told about this movie and said that there is no hurry in making this movie as soggade has just released 2 months ago and they would proceed further only after the script is perfect as he cannot take a risk with sequels. Nagarjuna is going to be seen in namo venkatesa in Raghavendar Rao's direction.

It's a scramble: fast food receipts and dirty socks to sweep out from under the bed (just like when he was a kid), pillow cases and comforter to run through the wash (so old, but he loves them), toilet to scrub and sink crying out to be sponged (yours truly crying out not to be spending my time like this), then boxes of who knows what stored near his desk as a matter of my convenience… now to be crammed into a small closet.
I'm racing the clock although it's only a cursory cleaning. I'm no domestic goddess on the best of days and I rebel at the thought of doing more… even for his homecoming.
This mess? It is exactly as he left everything – some five and a half months ago.
Next, there are last minute items to pick up at the market for sandwiches and omelets, hopefully sufficient for snacks to satisfy his seemingly bottomless appetite.
Finally, there is the table to clear of circulars and bills, the couch to declutter of folders and magazines, and I can already imagine friends gathering as all the once baby-faced boys exchange "man hugs" and their 15-year friendships pick right back up where they left off at the holidays.
I glance at the clock. Just in time. The prodigal son returns from Italy.
And as I pull into the Kiss-Ride, he emerges from the subway station toting a backpack and pulling a worn, oversize duffel on wobbly wheels. He arrives in a jumble of baggy salmon shorts to the knee, a brown t-shirt, and some sort of plaid flannel number that screams "American" as I chuckle, considering he's been living in Europe.
I would know him anywhere. He's mine. And I smile.
The once shy little boy with his head in the clouds is confident and relaxed.
He bends down to hug me, stows his luggage in the trunk, and we make the quick trip back to the house. He says he's "good," Italy was "good," and then in the kitchen as he talks, I drink in my beautiful, artsy, beloved boy.
He compliments the homemade soup, he comments on Italian girls, and he's animated as he explains that they are taught to steer clear of all men. Then he hands me sketchbooks with fragments of people and buildings. Although he lived in Florence, he begins to describe the narrow dimensions of the streets in Venice and how magical a city it is.
I note one of his images on which he has marked "Canaletto," the name of an 18th century Italian landscape painter. The page is a bit crumpled but it's a lovely quick sketch, his hand reflecting the sureness and speed of these past three years of drawing discipline.
I tell him that I'm happy he's home.
We finish dinner. He checks the time. I know exactly what's coming and it has taken, as I assumed it would, precisely one hour as he speaks the words every mother wants to hear: "Mom, can I take the car?"
Then he's off to meet up with friends, on to the movies, and I remind myself that he's an adult and I resolve not to worry.
I tell him to have fun, to lock up when he comes in, to put the keys on the kitchen table, and I say goodnight.
The next afternoon, as I propose dinner comprised of Mediterranean-style veggies over angel hair – I mention my recent trip to the farmer's market – he asks if I wouldn't mind finding a substitute for pasta.
Sheesh. What was I thinking?
I have an ample supply of brown rice and various seasonings, and it occurs to me that he's likely had his fill of linguini, ziti, rotini… In fact, I'll plan on burgers tonight!
I imagine that the next weeks will involve college student comings-and-goings, my vehicle in constant use, and a slow unfolding of stories from my son's overseas adventures. I will need patience; he has always done everything in his own way and his own time.
Meanwhile, the house will fill with commotion again in the evenings in the most delicious ways possible. My son's shoes are by the door where they've always been, his pens and sketchbooks are scattered on the couch, no doubt the socks are balled up and shoved under his bed. But I content myself with the fact that at least for awhile, my boy is home.

Chicago, IL (PressExposure) August 13, 2009 -- The Art Institute of Chicago has become the first art museum in the world to utilize interactive floor plans by MapsAlive to guide visitors through the facility and help them discover and locate artworks on display.
The new system was developed by AvantLogic, whose MapsAlive software is a leading interactive mapping application. MapsAlive provides the interactive mapping feature of Pathfinder, the museumâs new interactive wayfinding system that lets museum visitors and website users view floor plans to discover and locate artworks, see gallery panoramas, find exhibitions and daily events, and locate amenities such as restaurants and shops. The mapping features are available both on the Instituteâs website at http://www.artic.edu/pathfinder/php/pathfinder.php, and throughout the museum on touch-screen kiosks.
MapsAlive is the core technology behind Pathfinder, a web application that helps visitors learn about the Art Instituteâs collections and navigate its many buildings and floors. With the opening of the Modern Wing in May 2009, the museum now has more than a million square feet of gallery space, making it the second largest art museum in the United States.
âYou can literally get lost in there,â said George Soules, president of AvantLogic. âBut with MapsAlive you can discover the countless art objects in this vast space by touching or clicking on the floor plans. You can also touch images of collections, artworks, or exhibitions that interest you, and MapsAlive will show you where they are located within the museum. MapsAlive will even draw a 3D route showing you how to get from where you are standing to where you want to go in the museum.â
The Pathfinder software was developed by AvantLogic, Slate Roof Studio which designed the graphical interface, and the Art Instituteâs information technology staff. The Art Institute required that the browser-based application be able to run on both the museum web site and on 30-inch touch screens located throughout the building. MapsAlive made it possible to achieve this goal.
âMapsAlive was the best solution to achieve our vision for this kind of application because it was already coded to do much of what we needed,â said Sam Quigley, museum Vice President for Collections Management, Imaging, and Information Technology. âInstead of building Pathfinder from the ground up, we harnessed and extended the existing development tools and were able to focus more time and energy on the user interface. The AvantLogic team was a pleasure to work with, and we couldnât have done this without them. They were exceptionally creative and responsive to our needs.â
Interactive museum applications are just one of the many ways to use MapsAlive. To learn more and experience MapsAlive, visit http://www.mapsalive.com.

Bernat Blanket and Blanket Brights Yarn 300g
I wanted to send a pocket hug to a dear friend, so this little bear was born. Sitting down, this bear measures just 2.5 inches/7 cms. As you can see from the pictures it can be dressed up or dressed down. For the Fairy Bear, the more beads and sequins the better. The Angel Bear can be given to someone special needing a little angel to watch over them. Or the bear can be left plain, its still a sweet little bear. Use your imagination and create your own pocket hug.

A MAN has allegedly been caught drink driving at three times the legal blood alcohol limit - while his three-year-old child was in the car.
Police stopped the Plympton man, 29, at Glenelg East just before 9pm last night, after spotting him allegedly trying to do a U-turn on Anzac Highway to avoid an RBT station.
He lost his licence for 12 months and had his Ford sedan impounded for 28 days after allegedly recording a blood alcohol level of 0.158.
Police have urged motorists to not take risks with their own life or others by drinking and driving.
"If you are planning to have a few drinks this festive season take a taxi, use public transport or arrange for someone that hasn't been drink to take you home," police said in a statement.

1. How did I get asthma? Asthma and allergies often run in families and may be passed on in genes. That means you have a higher chance of having asthma and allergies if one or both of your parents has them. However, many people have asthma when nobody else in the family does.
2. How does my doctor know if I have asthma? To find out if you have asthma, your doctor will ask you how you've been feeling and whether you have any regular coughing or difficulty breathing. Your doctor will also listen to your breathing with a stethoscope. You might be asked to take a breathing test called spirometry, which will help with the asthma diagnosis. Your doctor will ask you and your parents if asthma or allergies run in your family and may prescribe asthma medicines to see if you get better with them. If you do get better after a few weeks of taking these medicines, then you likely have asthma. If you had eczema or food allergies as a child, then there's a higher chance that you will also have asthma. More information on asthma symptoms and diagnosis.
3. Why does asthma make it hard for me to breathe sometimes? Asthma affects the airways (air tubes) inside your lungs. These airways bring oxygen to the rest of your body. If your asthma is getting out of control, these airways can get narrower, making it harder to get air in and out of your lungs. Keep your asthma under control, and your airways will be clear and open, allowing you to breathe easily. More information on how asthma works.
4. Will I ever outgrow my asthma? For some people, asthma goes away and never comes back. For others, asthma goes away during childhood or the teen years, only to come back later in adulthood. Unfortunately, some people will always have asthma. Keep your asthma under control and you'll still be able to what anyone else does, even if asthma stays with you forever. More information on managing your asthma.
5. Why do we use inhalers for asthma? You take most medicines in pill form, so it might seem strange to take asthma medicine with an inhaler. Asthma medicine often comes in an inhaler because it directs the medicine quickly to where it is needed - your lungs - so you'll need less medicine as a result. More information on how to use your asthma inhalers.
6. What's the best medicine for asthma? The best asthma medicine varies from person to person, so your doctor will try to find the medicine or combination of medicines that works for you. If you have regular asthma symptoms, your doctor will probably start with a daily inhaled steroid medicine, since these are usually effective when taken properly. Your doctor will also prescribe a reliever inhaler (usually blue), for when you are having problems breathing or for before exercise. More information on asthma medications.
7. Are my asthma medicines safe for me? Asthma medicines are generally very safe. Your doctor will try to find the lowest amount of medicine that keeps your asthma under control. Keeping your lungs healthy and being able to exercise normally is important. Inhaled steroids are the most common medicines for treating asthma long-term. Although people have many misconceptions about inhaled steroids, these medicines have great benefits, are generally safe in prescribed doses, and tend to be the most effective asthma medicine. More information on asthma medications.
8. How do I know if my asthma inhaler is empty? If you have a pressurized MDI (metered dose inhaler), the kind that sprays the asthma medicine out, then you can shake the inhaler near your ear to listen and feel for the liquid swishing around. Also, if you see that the puff of mist coming out of your inhaler is not as full as before, then it's probably time to get a new asthma inhaler. You can also try counting the number of doses you use. This is easier if you take the same number of puffs every day. It's much harder with inhalers that you only use once in a while. Some Turbuhalers have a counter on them. If your Turbuhaler doesn't have a counter, a red mark will appear in the window on the side of the device when there are about 20 doses left. If you use a Diskus, it has a built-in counter. More information on how to use your asthma inhalers.
9. If I'm feeling great, why do I need to keep taking my asthma medicines? Some asthma medicines only work if you take them every day. These are called "controller" medicines. They keep your lungs healthy, so if you stop taking them, your asthma can slowly start getting out of control, making it hard to breathe. More information on asthma medications.
10. Do I need to stay away from sports and exercise if I have asthma? Keep your asthma under control and you should be able to play sports and exercise just like everyone else. Doctors often recommend that people with asthma take their reliever inhaler (usually blue) before playing sports. A good warm-up before and a cool-down after exercising or playing sports also helps. If you do get short of breath during exercise, stop right away and take your asthma reliever inhaler. Only start again if your breathing is back to normal. If your asthma is not under control, you should not start any exercise. More information on asthma and exercise.
11. Every winter I get colds that make my asthma worse. How do I stop getting colds? It's probably impossible to stop getting colds altogether, but here are a few things that can help:
12. I am allergic to pollen. I know pollen comes from trees and plants, but what is it? Pollen is a fine powder that comes from trees and plants. Trees and plants send pollen into the air to reproduce, and the pollen is carried by the wind. Unfortunately this means pollen can be inhaled into noses and lungs, triggering an allergic reaction. More information on asthma and allergies.
13. Are there any dogs or cats that are okay for people who have asthma? There are no non-allergenic dogs or cats. If you are allergic to pets, you shouldn't have any in your home. Some people believe certain dogs and cats don't cause allergies because they don't shed hair. However, it's not the hair that you are allergic to, it's the dander (tiny skin particles) or saliva. There is no proof that any dog or cat is safe for people with asthma. If removing your pet from the home is not an option, have your pet washed and groomed regularly and keep it out of your bedroom and off the furniture. More information on asthma and pet allergies.
14. Are there any foods that cause asthma symptoms? Some people need to avoid certain foods that cause asthma symptoms and other allergic reactions. Foods don't usually make asthma worse, but if you think it is a trigger, ask your doctor for advice. More information on asthma and food allergies.
15. Where are the best places to live with asthma? Some people with asthma do benefit from moving to a different climate. For example, a person whose main asthma trigger is dust mites,may improve if they move to a high-altitude area such as the Swiss Alps, the Rocky Mountains, or other low-humidity areas like the Prairies. Or, an outdoor worker with no allergies whose asthma symptoms are triggered mainly by cold air may do better in a warmer climate.
But people with asthma are usually sensitive to many asthma triggers, and the new climate may bring new triggers. For example, a warmer climate may have more air pollution and higher humidity.
To avoid replacing one asthma trigger with a different one when you move, it's a good idea to spend a trial period of several weeks to months in the new location. Don't move until you are sure there's a real improvement in your asthma symptoms.
Consider also that your improvement might be due to leaving a pet at home, being away from the workplace trigger, or having less stress on holiday - nothing to do with climate at all!
16. Can I live without my asthma medications? Asthma can improve when an offending asthma allergen and/or asthma trigger has been identified and removed from the home or workplace. Sometimes however, asthma gets better for no apparent reason; children, for example, often outgrow their asthma - although it may return in adulthood. Given this, the amount of asthma medication needed for proper asthma control will change over time. However, asthma medication doses should only be adjusted by your doctor.
If you have had no asthma symptoms for a while, your doctor may advise you to reduce the dose of your asthma controller to see if you still have good asthma control. Under your doctor's supervision, you may even be able to slowly taper off your asthma medications without recurrence of asthma symptoms. However, you should still carry an asthma reliever inhaler, just in case. More information on managing your asthma.
17. How will pregnancy affect my asthma? For one-third of women, pregnancy has no affect on asthma symptoms; for another third, asthma symptoms improve; and for the remainder they worsen. Fortunately, whatever changes pregnancy brings to asthma can be usually managed with minor adjustments to medications.
If you are pregnant do not stop your asthma medications - poorly controlled asthma can put the baby at risk with low oxygen levels in the blood. If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, consult your doctor.
Once the baby is born, the level of severity of your asthma will probably return to what it was. If you're breastfeeding, standard asthma medications appear to be safe. Once again, contact your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
For more information, visit our section on Asthma and Pregnancy. More information on asthma and pregnancy.
18. I have asthma, so will my child have asthma? Asthma is sometimes due to heredity; that is, people may inherit the tendency to develop allergies and "twitchy", or hyper responsive airways. However, most children whose parents have asthma do not develop asthma.
Most important in minimizing your child's chances of developing asthma are environmental controls, including: not smoking (especially during pregnancy); not allowing smoking in the house when children are small; and avoiding allergens, such as pets and house dust mites.
19. Are there any asthma breathing exercises that can help my asthma control? Although there may be many claims about asthma breathing exercises reducing asthma symptoms, or even curing asthma, these claims have not been backed up with adequate evidence.
Exercise in general is great for the health of the lungs and heart. However there are no asthma breathing exercises that have been shown with proper studies to be of benefit for people with asthma. More information on managing your asthma.
20. I have more questions about asthma. Where can I get answers? There is a lot to learn when you're diagnosed with asthma. You'll have to learn what asthma is, how it is treated, and how to use your asthma inhalers. So ask questions each time you visit your doctor or pharmacist. You can also call The Lung Association's toll-free Lung Health Information Line at 1-888-344-LUNG (5864).

Farewell is a parting time with those
who were strangers in the beginning
but became a part of everybody's life.
If their presence was a happy experience,
their going away brings sadness to mind.
Farewell is such a parting time.
Though it seems man's own decision,
of settling here or there.
Actually it is God who decides,
where that man's need is felt more.
If he can make his mark here,
he can make his presence felt anywhere.
We accept this fact that God is all-powerful.
He shapes our destiny at His will.
People who are constantly on move,
they must understand God's wish
that they are on a mission in life.
They have to bring happiness in many lives
through their kind and selfless deeds.
Only then they will solve the purpose
of their being born in this world.
To be on move doesn't mean,
to forget the old friends.
An eternal bond is formed and remain
wherever they go.
This bond works as a balm in sad moments
and a stepping stone to grow better.
Farewell is such a parting time.

Northern Ireland businesses get teeth into the Rugby World Cup
For rugby fans, it's the greatest show on earth... but how are local businesses tackling the 2015 World Cup?
There's bound to be a scrum for takings over the course of the 44-day extravaganza, which kicks off tomorrow when co-hosts England take on Fiji at Twickenham.
The event has grown into the world's third largest sporting tournament and is expected to generate almost £2.2bn for the British economy in general.
And with seven Ulster players in the Ireland squad which departed from Dublin Airport last night and will begin their campaign on Saturday against Canada in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, interest is rising to fever pitch.
Rugby fans, traditionally, are big spenders, and with this year's tournament so close to home, significant business opportunities abound.
Take Ulster Weavers, the Holywood-based home textile and linen company, for instance.
They are an official licensee for the Rugby World Cup (RWC) and recently launched their official kitchen textiles range in time for the tournament.
Five new limited edition collections have been created, consisting of bags, aprons and cotton tea towels.
Some bespoke tea towels feature, for example, English roses, Irish shamrocks, Scottish thistles and Welsh daffodils and prices range from £8.75 to £20.
Commercial director Wendy Hamilton said the firm has made a large investment in the creation and manufacture of the new designs, which they expect will be lucrative.
"Working with the RWC has been a great opportunity to expand our business further into different sectors, especially with professional sporting organisations," she said.
"We are also working with 12 other rugby unions in conjunction with the main event to provide bespoke tea towels based on national symbols and emblems.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to export Northern Irish goods around the globe and introduce new audiences to quality textiles for the home."
Colin Neill from Hospitality Ulster said the RWC was really important to his industry.
"Things like the Rugby World Cup or the football World Cup bring people into pubs, restaurants and hotels," he said. "Our business is occasion based and this creates an opportunity for people to come out and meet friends. We're confident that we'll see a substantial economic boost."
The Fountain Tavern in Belfast city centre is offering customers 50p off a pint per Irish try during the tournament, which he hopes will bolster his clientele.
Owner Sean Murray said: "It's something a bit different - seven tries during Ireland matches will get punters a free pint." Meanwhile, The Cultra Inn in Holywood has launched a host of meal deals and is offering customers a chance to win an Ireland rugby shirt.
Helping to push their business is Stephen Ferris, one of Ireland's leading lights in the last World Cup but, sadly, now permanently sidelined by a severe ankle injury.
The ex-Ulster flanker will be busy on the corporate side over the next few weeks, promoting the likes of Heineken beer, Lidl stores, Ladbrokes bookmakers and Hastings Hotels.
On Saturday Ferris will be special guest at The Albany on Belfast's Lisburn Road, which is screening the Ireland game.
Meanwhile, John Miskimmon, a sales executive at Belfast sports outlet SS Moore, said business is booming. "We sell all the home nation and southern hemisphere shirts but obviously Ireland is our biggest seller across the board," he said. "The products went on sale a couple of months ago and we've been going full tilt since then. The Ireland range is doing extremely well in the home market and it's also very popular with tourists coming off cruise ships. We are expecting a huge economic boost from the tournament and the further Ireland go, the bigger the hype, the more products people want and the more we'll sell."
An Ireland shirt will set you back £60 or £65 (with an offical RWC logo), with associated items costing a little less - a cap for £12, beanie £13, Ireland scarf for £12, a RWC scarf for £15, or a polo shirt for £25 or £30.
The marketing manager at Quinn's Coach Hire in Ardboe, Hugh McCloy, said they'd had a number of calls from local companies regarding corporate trips to big games although, because tickets have been so hard to obtain north of the border, most of the hospitality packages emanate from Dublin.
"So far we've got two bookings for 37-seaters, that we sold for £2,500 each, so the World Cup has been good for us," he said.

Fresh & Easy locations opening from Escondido to Elsinore and beyond reflect the British giant's full-court press into the southwestern United States' grocery market, real estate experts said last week.
Tesco PLC, the world's third-largest retailer by sales, hasalready begun opening the stores, which it designed for U.S.markets after extensive consumer research. Plans include 30 storesin San Diego County and at least 270 elsewhere in SouthernCalifornia, Las Vegas and Arizona.
Stores opening in North County and surrounding areas of San Diego and Southwest Riverside County are in shopping centers that are new -- or old and all but abandoned. They're in low-rent districts -- or surrounded by rows of right-angled houses. That variety is partly the result of a swift and large-scale entry into the U.S. market, real estate brokers said: The grocer is grabbing locations where it can.
A Fresh & Easy expected to open late this year in Murrieta fronts a tract of tightly packed but neat houses and condominiums, clad in beige stucco, that were completed over the course of 2003 and 2004. The shopping center itself is only nearing completion.
Real estate broker Jake Irion said that's a typical situation for Fresh & Easy locations in Southwest Riverside County, where he has represented a developer in negotiations with the grocer. Retail development is only beginning to catch up with a massive housing boom that petered out last year, and the grocer has had to arrange leases in unbuilt shopping centers.
One such center in an upper-income neighborhood of southeastern Temecula still awaits permits from the city, Irion said.
In contrast, Tesco and landlords gave a face-lift to a building on South Main Street in Fallbrook that had been vacant for about a year. A Fresh & Easy is scheduled to open there Thursday and the store that opened recently in Vista is up the way from a 99 Cents Only Store, as is a Fresh & Easy in Escondido that's due to open Jan. 30.
"Some of those areas have higher vacancy rates for that box size," Irion said.
At 10,000 to 14,000 square feet, the stores are a quarter the size of the grocery stores where suburban residents have traditionally shopped.
On East Vista Way, for example, a Fresh & Easy moved into the space -- half of it -- that an Albertson's supermarket had vacated in 2005. The opening followed a renovation of the entire shopping center.
"It was really kind of run down," said Gina McClintic, a north Vista resident who made her first grocery run there last week. "People did get out of the habit of shopping in this area. Even fast-food restaurants don't seem to do a lot of business."
McClintic said she used to shop at the Albertson's and will continue to shop at the larger Albertson's that replaced it, just up East Vista Way.
But the Fresh & Easy is even less expensive and its smaller size and proximity to McClintic's home makes it more convenient for quicker trips, she said.
Tesco is billing its new chain as "neighborhood stores" that are more conveniently located than Wal-Mart and most traditional supermarkets in the United States. Supermarkets in suburban communities typically require shoppers to drive.
Tesco spokesman Brendan Wonnacot said the Fresh & Easy stores are aimed at people who live within two miles, close enough to reach by bicycle or on foot.
"We have made a concerted effort to site stores in all kinds of neighborhoods, and that includes neighborhoods that we consider underserved," Wonnacot said.
Competitive advantage
Tesco representatives also say their offerings are healthier andless expensive than what's available at standard convenience storessuch as 7-Eleven, specialty grocers such as Whole Foods Market orTrader Joe's, or even traditional supermarkets.
On Tuesday morning, pita bread weighed in at 8.3 cents an ounce at the Fresh & Easy in Vista, versus 17 cents at a Vons supermarket on South Santa Fe Avenue. Fresh & Easy priced a 16-ounce package of bacon, on the other hand, at $3.99, nearly a dollar more than Vons.
Standing in the Fresh & Easy parking lot on Tuesday, McClintic said reasonably low prices and a larger selection will continue to draw her occasionally to Vons, another 1.5 miles to the south. Traditional supermarkets retain an advantage on selection, with 10,000 to 20,000 different items, versus 4,000 items at a typical Fresh & Easy.
"I'd probably come here first," McClintic said, "and then go to another store if there's something they don't have."
