Historic Occoneechee Speedway Trail NcReviewing: Historic Place Historic Occoneechee Speedway Trail | Rating:
When my wife I moved to Hillsborough North Carolina back in 1995 we found out that there once was a Nascar race track nearby. Bill France opened the track in 1948. Many of Nascar's pioneers raced there - Lee & Richard Petty, Junior Johnson, Ralph Earnhardt, Tim Flock, Fireball Roberts and Wendell Scott just to name a few. The track closed in 1948 after much protest by some of the local residents. The track had been silent for about 35 years. Mother Nature had her own race there now, with growing grass and trees. While we were living in Hillsborough we had wanted to try and find the track - many times, even though the track had been overgrown with nature. We never did get a chance to find the race track. My wife and I moved to Durham North Carolina in 2003. Recently, as I was surfing the web I came across a website dedicated to the Historic Occoneechee Speedway. Back in 2002 the track was placed on National Register of Historic Places. Since 2002 the area where the track is located has been cleared. Trees have been removed and paths have been made. It is listed as the last remaining track of the inaurural Nascar season. Today, we decided to go to the Occoneechee Speedway trail as a family. When we got there we parked in a nice parking lot. There was a board that had a map of the trails and a map to take along. The trails were nicely marked and had fresh wood chips laid out. We figured that the wood chips came from the many trees that were cut down to preserve the site. There were several different trails for a total of 3 miles. We came across several building that had fallen down over time. There was a building that once was the concession stand. There was even evidence of a women's outhouse. We also saw the men's outhouse. There was an area where the ticket office once stood. The people that are part of the preservation were there today and said that they are going to be re-building the ticket office, concession stand and scoring stand. I can't wait to see what the finished product will look like. We saw an old light pole with rusted out metal lights. That probably once showed the way to the checkered flag. There was also either a speaker or light that was on a tree behind the cement grandstands. For the last 35 or so years trees had grown into and through the cement grandstands where many of the race fans had sat. Now the trees and other bushes have been removed from the grandstands. We actually sat down as a family and just imagined being there during the 40's, 50's and 60's watching Lee Petty and Ralph Earnhardt racing for the win. We walked down the steps to the area that had been cleared that once was the track. I could not believe that I was standing where these famous drivers once raced to put food on their families tables and clothes on their children's backs or just to be able to race the next race. There is a trail that goes along the path of the original 1 mile track. We all walked the one mile around. It did not seem like one mile. We were talking and looking around the whole time, trying to take all of this historic site in. When it was quiet we could hear the distance sound of traffic, we closed our eyes and imagined that the sound of the cars was coming from a race from long ago. We spent a wonderful day as a family today. It was wonderful weather and the kids did not complain about the 3 mile walk. We have already said that we will go back next year to see what type of improvements have been made. If you are a fan of Nascar or just love to walk trails this is a wonderful place to go. It just brings back a lot of memories for some and let's other see what things were like many years ago.

The New York Times reports this morning that the FBI is has been given wider powers to spy on people in the fight against terrorism.
A little more freedom is sacrificed in the cause of everyone's safety.
As terrible as 9/11 was when 3,000 people lost their lives, over ten times that number die on our roads in traffic accidents every year.
This means well over 300,000 people have lost their lives on US highways in the 10 years following 9/11. Where is the outrage? If these numbers were war casualties, members of our armed services there would be outrage.
Actually road deaths went down in 2010 to 32,788, the lowest figures since 1949, and while this can be viewed as good news, it still translates close to 90 people will die today, another 90 tomorrow, 630 per week, and so on. Again where is the outrage?
Cars are being made ever safer for the people inside that vehicle, but not for others who get hit by one; especially if that person is on foot or on a bicycle. Even in my little compact car if I am T-boned by an SUV my chances of survival are slim.
On the subject of losing a little of our freedom in the name of safety, how about losing the freedom to drive like an idiot.
I think I can safely say that most fatal road deaths are caused by driver error, not the machine itself or the road it is on. Impatience, speed, aggressive driving, and distracted driving are the primary cause of most car crashes.
In the UK, where people have a lot less freedom than in the US, new road safety laws are in force, where the police can levy on-the-spot fines for aggressive driving, tailgating, etc. What a great deterrent; a police officer stops you, asks for your credit or debit card, and charges you between $130 and $160 on the spot.
How about a more comprehensive driving test to start with, followed by the worst traffic offenders losing the privilege to drive. If someone dies as a result of someone else's poor driving, there should be some serious consequences; all too often it is seen simply as an accident.
It really is an outrage that a minority are allowed the freedom to drive in a careless and dangerous manner, when the result is someone else losing their ultimate freedom, their life.

Is the lack of a gimmick itself a gimmick? After a motorcycle-riding, movie-star Romeo on Broadway this fall and a video-projection Athenian forest in Brooklyn last week, Shakespeare's Globe has arrived at the Belasco Theatre with a radically unradical concept: The British company performs William Shakespeare's plays as they were performed in William Shakespeare's time. And so Twelfth Night and Richard III opened in repertory Sunday night, on a wood-paneled Elizabethan stage, with the actors in period costume, fifes and drums and horns providing period music, and all the roles played, as they were back then, by men. Mark Rylance—often posited as the greatest living English-language stage actor—is the star; he sports a gown in Twelfth Night as Olivia and a malformed hand in Richard III as the scheming, murderous king. He is excellent, and so is the rest of the cast.
Alas, the same can be said for only one of the plays.
These are lighthearted, rollicking nights, both in the staging and in the performances. Each begins with the actors being made up and costumed onstage—as a final preparatory note, two chandeliers of candles are lighted and lifted to join four others over the stage, like a pre-electric opening moment at the Met—and ends with a rhythmic group dance that turns into bows. Mr. Rylance underplays in the amusingly deadpan style you'll recall from Boeing-Boeing and his Tony Award acceptance speeches. For Twelfth Night, this all coheres beautifully, men dressed as women doing droll turns in a comedy about cross-dressing and romance, shipwrecks and mistaken identity. But in Richard III, that same style seems misplaced. The play is a violent tragedy about a corrupt and corroded king, and yet this production has retains some measure of that lighthearted tone. When Kevin Spacey played the role at BAM two seasons ago, his Richard was chilling. Mr. Rylance's seems more a buffoon, an accidental Machiavellian.
Still, there is great fun in watching this stellar company perform, and especially in seeing how the actors switch between roles in the two plays, both directed by Tim Carroll. Samuel Barnett gives standout, sensitive performances in both plays, both as women—in Twelfth Night, he's Viola, the shipwreck survivor who in turn passes herself off as a man, and in Richard III, he's Queen Elizabeth. Paul Chahidi switches from the scheming servant Maria in Twelfth Night to a pompous Lord Chamberlain in Richard III, and Angus Wright, so goofily high-spirited as Sir Andrew Aguecheek in the former, becomes a sober Duke of Buckingham in the latter. It's also a nice touch that Mr. Barnett and Joseph Timms, who play near-identical, though opposite-gender, twins in Twelfth Night, are also the two queens, Elizabeth and Anne, in Richard III.
As the designer, Jenny Tiramani, explains in a note in the Playbill, the wood-paneled set is modeled on an extant hall at Oxford, and the lovely costumes are all made with period-appropriate materials and craftsmanship. It is of course a gimmick, and it's a great one.
St. Martyrbride, an invention of the playwright Marlane Meyer, is, we're told, the patron saint of spinsters, childhood infirmity and sea monsters. She is invoked repeatedly in Ms. Meyer's new play, The Patron Saint of Sea Monsters, by its protagonist, Aubrey Little, an awkward, unmarried doctor with one leg shorter than the other. It's obvious why Aubrey (Laura Heisler), an unhappy devout Catholic, insists on the saint's existence, but that's one of the few obvious things in Ms. Meyer's play, which opened last night in Playwrights Horizons's small Peter Jay Sharp Theater. The play is a parable about the power of faith and love to help overcome people's basic animal nature, I think, but its elliptical storytelling and drastic tonal shifts from exaggerated comedy to tender soul-searching—exacerbated in Lisa Peterson's uneven direction—make things tough to discern and tougher to enjoy.
The action takes place in an unnamed, insular California town, where Calvin (Rob Campbell) has just been laid off from his factory job. He drinks, heavily, and shoots the breeze with his best friends, Jack (Danny Wolohan) and Canadian Bill (Haynes Thigpen). His first wife, Marie, is mysteriously missing, and Aubrey, the local doctor, pines for him, as she has since childhood. Nefarious family members and landladies and other neighbors abound, plus a few murders and lots of leopard print and animals everywhere, including masks on stagehands rearranging the set.
It's a David Lynch kind of town, full of ominous people with strange quirks, but, suddenly, after Calvin goes to prison, the broad and surrealistic comedy disappears, and he first delivers a tender confession speech and then shares a sweet reconciliation scene with Aubrey. They're the best moments in the play—and wildly disconnected from much of what came before, or even between them.
How to Make Friends and Murder Them, the play by Halley Feiffer that opened last week at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, is another lurid, exaggerated story of odd outcasts and the power of love. It's even more disturbing than Patron Saint of Sea Monsters, and nearly as incomprehensible, but it benefits mightily from Kip Fagan's assured direction, which keeps the action sharp and engaging even as the play's message remains indecipherable.
Ada (Katya Cambell) and Sam (Keira Keeley) are sisters, whom we first meet in their early childhood. Mom, an alcoholic, is a nonpresence in their lives, and they're both unpopular at school. Ada, at least at first, is the domineering sister, blond and determined to be famous; Sam simpers in her wake, following orders and sketching her sister's picture. They share silly children's games, as sisters do, and mildly terrorize each other.
As they get older, they continue the same games, the same relationship, except that the power balance seems to shift. Sam—who gets into the college they both wanted to go to, while Ada essentially gives up—gradually becomes more dominant, until eventually she isn't. But what interrupts their dynamic most is the addition of yet another loner, the overweight, acne-ridden Dorrie (Jen Ponton), who first becomes Ada's friend and then becomes Sam's and ultimately gets trapped, horrifically, in the middle of the sisters' codependency.
Ms. Feiffer—who also starred in Ethan Coen's Women or Nothing early this fall—has written funny, spiky dialogue, and the three actresses in this strong class deliver it with relish, playing off each other with aplomb. It makes for a fun ride, even as everything in Ada and Sam's world goes wrong—and even as you can't quite figure out why.
Beth Henley is a playwright famous for Crimes of the Heart, a sweet-natured Southern gothic that won the Pulitzer Prize in 1981. Last week she opened her latest, The Jacksonian, in a New Group production at Theatre Row, and now she, too, seems caught in the week's trend of shockingly graphic comic dramas.


text: Tsukiji Fish Market (9:01) By Akiharu Hioki. The Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market commonly known as the Tsukiji Market is the biggest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world and also one of the largest wholesale food markets of any kind. The market is located in Tsukiji - central Tokyo, and is a major attraction for foreign visitors. This is a beautifully shot non-narrative soundscape exploration of this facility that was built by the city after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake destroyed much of the existing private markets of the time.

They may be more glamorous, flamboyant personalities but Wendy Williams and Queen Latifah don't rule the daytime yet. The woman who does? Judge Judy, who is number one in daytime for the past four years with her syndicated self-titled show and her highly sensitive B.S. detector.
Judy Sheindlin, now 71, a former Family Court judge in New York City, has been on the air 18 seasons and after 14 straight seasons of daytime Emmy nominations with no win, the show earned its first Emmy last year.
Judy has a new show on the way called Hot Bench that aims to add to her successful run. The format will be three judges deliberating case from their three very different points of view. In a real courtroom, a "hot bench" according to Judy, is a judge that really knows their material and asks probing questions of the lawyers. So lawyers approaching a "hot bench" know they need to come with their cases well-prepared, thus the designation of the bench as hot.
"Life is about adventure and trying something new but not so far out of the box that it's something strange to you," Judge Judy told the Tom Joyner Morning Show. "I'm trying my hand at creating a new court program and I think that we've hit a winner. They are fabulous legally trained minds that I think the public will embrace. It's been really a joy for me to be involved in a new project. Life is about recreating yourself and keeping things fresh and new."
Judy handpicked the three judges, including one she says is just like her, but "younger and blonder." But bailiff Petri Hawkins-Byrd is staying with her, Judy assured Tom. The former real-life bailiff is the longest-running bailiff on TV courtroom shows.He got the job when sent Sheindlin, who he'd worked with previously in New York, a congratulatory letter telling her he'd look good on TV. She obviously agreed.
"Byrd works enough. We don't like to overtax Byrd. If you notice, he hardly wants to walk over and get evidence for me anymore. He looks annoyed if I ask him for information. If I ask him for the Blue Book value of the car, he says 'Why not walk over and do it yourself?' We have a lovely female bailiff this time, who worked in the Los Angeles court system."
Hot Bench starts in the fall. Check your local listings.

Hum. Is this article exploiting the rumor that Bert and Judge Judy has something going on?
Who is Bert?
From what I have seen, Judge Judy is an equal opportunity judge. The clients that go before her, I believe are paid and no amount of money is worth going before Judge Judy, especially when you know you are in the wrong and will get caught up in your lies.
I love her. Would never go before her in a court of law, but I love watching her.
I meant ignorant
It's hard for me to believe that more people would want to come in front of this ignirant woman yelling at people and accusing them of some of lying etc. How would she know she is not even listening to what they are saying. I do not and would NEVER watch her. i worked in a courtroom for 16 years as a court baliff and I worked for a Black female judge. She never talked to defendents like that way because the majority of them were Black the respect should go both ways as far as I am concerned
There is a difference between real court and television court, the key word being TELEVISION. I remember watching an episode of the 'Judge Karen' show, and there was a young lady who came before her with a lawsuit against a man who she claimed used her for her stripper money. The judge dismissed her case because she admitted she 'bought' the guy. The girl threw a hissy fit, and was snotting and crying up a storm. When the judge got her to calm down, she let her know that she could get away with that behavior on television, but if she were behaving that way in her court in Florida she'd be in trouble. The cases may be real, but it's still television. I've see Judge Judy go off on everybody for stepping to her knowing that they're lying and unprepared, be they white, black, puerto rican, and anything else. Considering that she's been a judge for over 40 years, I'm quite sure her B.S. detectors are kinda on point.

Chicago's Revolution Brewing has issued a recall of six of its top selling beers packaged between early August and mid-October due to off flavors the company is attributing to a wild yeast contamination. The affected beers include flagship Anti Hero IPA, as well as First City Pale Ale, Cross of Gold Ale, Mosaic Hero IPA, Eugene Porter, and Unsessionable Imperial IPA. In all, Crain's reports that more than 10,000 barrels of beer are subject to the recall, but by now most of it has been—harmlessly—consumed.
From an aerial perspective, this is the latest in a growing line of noteworthy recalls from prominent breweries around the country. Following the Bourbon County fiasco suffered by Goose Island last year, Revolution's misstep is the second high profile contamination to come from the Windy City alone. That, of course, isn't a condemnation of anything Chicago beer makers are up to—contaminations happen. And, as always, it's nice as a consumer to see Revolution getting ahead of it and owning the mistake publicly.
To wit, the company wrote on its website: "To ensure the overall quality of our beers, Revolution is in the process of removing all questionable beer from our system, including the destruction of identified beers at our brewery, removal of these brews from our distributors' warehouses, and return of the beer from retail locations. With fresh beer being packaged starting this week, our distribution network will begin working to replace beer immediately."
From a more granular perspective, though, the contamination might signify a growing pain for a company that has been candid with the struggles associated with undergoing a massive expansion. Revolution Managing Partner Josh Deth says the brewery is taking a number of measures to make sure this doesn't happen again.
"First of all, we're sending samples to an independent laboratory to have our contaminant DNA sequenced," Deth tells GBH. "This will help us determine exactly what we're dealing with and how best to test for it going forward. Certain contaminants are screened with different methods and this will help to ensure our quality methods are best suited to detect any possible problems going forward. The lab medias we have been using are focused on finding beer spoiling bacteria and did not detect this wild yeast contaminant, so we need to change up our methods and add additional tests to cast a wider net. Not only will we increase our lab screening, but sensory testing by our brew team throughout the entire process."
Excluding the AB InBev-owned Goose Island, Revolution is the largest craft brewery by volume in Chicago, recently expanding capacity to 150,000 barrels to grow even further. In a talk with Brewbound last month, Donn Bischel, Revolution director of sales and marketing, suggested the company would sell north of 75,000 barrels in 2016. That's top-50 volume and nothing to scoff at. But Bischel also conceded, falling a bit on his own sword in the process, that with the excess capacity, the company should be selling more than 100,000 barrels. But competition is fierce and tap handles change over these days with fervor. So the company has looked to expand into new markets like New York to find new drinkers. With expansions like this come benefits, of course, but also new challenges.
"Fortunately, as we grow we have more resources to devote to QC," Deth tells GBH. "But the challenge is to ramp up our human resources as well as our hardware and techniques in line with our overall growth."
As for the contamination, Revolution blamed a wild yeast that worsened over time and imparted flavors more typical to Belgian-style ales in the affected beers. While these things are fairly commonplace, it's worth noting that Revolution doesn't really make any wild beers. Often, these contaminations arise when a brewery houses production of wild and non-wild beers under one roof, hence the trend of breweries opening secondary facilities dedicated entirely to wild fermentation so as to avoid these issues. Regardless, as it pertains to this issue, the company said it "was not identified in time by our quality control methods." How those quality control methods change as a company grows likely varies from operation to operation, but as a company's beer reaches more and more drinkers in more and more markets, it becomes that much more important to steer the ship straight.
The full recall packaged dates below:
Anti Hero IPA: 8/5-10/11
First City Pale Ale: 8/11-9/26
Cross of Gold Ale: 8/23
Mosaic Hero IPA: 8/16-9/8
Eugene Porter: 8/3-10/6
Unsessionable Imperial IPA: 9/27-10/7

We are an all volunteer run non-profit organization aimed at disseminating information to teens about HIV/AIDS. Former Harvard lecturer Dr. John Chittick first set up an educational website for teens in 1994, and formally incorporated TeenAIDS in 1997. TeenAIDS-PeerCorps is dedicated to education youth in Hampton Roads, Virginia and around the world about their HIV/AIDS risk, how to prevent transmission, their rights to get tested, and how to spread the word among their peer group to save lives.
Since the advent of AIDS, millions have been infected by HIV and have died. No vaccine or cure exists. Currently, sexually active teens are at greatest risk when they choose unwisely to have unprotected sexual intercourse.Dr. John first met youth living with AIDS in the 1980s and their hopeless situation struck his conscience. After much thought, he left behind his home, family and business in 1998 to embark on a humanitarian mission to save young lives. These became the first Global AIDS Walks by a trained expert to educate vulnerable teens, sharing best practices between cultures and regions.Our goal is to empower a growing worldwide cadre of volunteer PeerCorps youth to spread the life-saving message to their young friends and neighbors. Because traditional prevention programs have lost their efficacy as evidenced by rising numbers of HIV-positive youth, a dramatic campaign is needed to enlist adolescents' proactive support for this most serious problem facing their generation and that of their future babies. Recently, with the advent of over the counter sale of home HIV test kits in the United States in 2012, TA-PC has introduced an innovative prevention technique: the "live" public testing of youth among peers.

Ep3: Customer-centric Vs Product-centric. Where should be your focus be?
Hello Afropreneurs,
Today we are going to discuss one issue businesses and entrepreneurs grapple with, should their focus be on creating and selling a product with great features or should the development and branding of their products be tied to the 'needs' of the target market.
It is very easy to fall into the trap of believing you know what the market needs based on your experience (not saying 'experience' isn't vital in product development and marketing).
First of, let's define each of the terms in our topic for today.Product-centric: Placing emphasis on the product and it features, trying to sell it to as many people as possible. A one size fits all approach. A product centric business focuses on the products it brings to market rather than the customers that buy those products. Customer-centric: The focus is on the needs of the customer, product development and marketing is targeted and showing each customer how his/her life gets better by using the product/service. This is done by creating a positive consumer experience at the point of sale and post-sale.
Research shows that Customer-centric companies stand the test of time, examples are the likes of Apple and Coke. These companies are known for selling 'emotions'. Making your company/product more customer centric results in you having more loyal customers.
Make sure you listen to this episode and share your feedback.
Get closer than ever to your customers. So close that you tell them what they need well before they even realize it themselves.Steve Jobs Founder, Apple

Inspired by Kate's post at The Junia Project and a brilliant spin off post on how racism and patriarchy are cut from the same cloth….
* * * * * * *
Back in the spring of 1997, I watched a riveting speaker rebuke the folks at TBN – from TBN's stage. I don't remember his name or the response, but I'll never forget what he said. The bottom line of his rebuke that spring afternoon was: Do not confuse the apparent blessing of God with a stamp of approval on your methods. Wow. So much of what is wrong with the world can be attributed to this issue….
I think that this rebuke rightly joins with another important concept I learned while a student at PCC (now HIU): frozen accommodations. The late Dr. Mont Smith coined this wonderful phrase in his important book, What the Bible Says About Covenant (College Press, 1981, pp. 370-371; unfortunately out of print), as part of a larger discussion on the Doctrine of Implied Power. He begins this section with: "Inherent in the doctrine of implied power was the danger of holding a group at a point of accommodation after the social situation changed." Then he gets to this: "What the Apostles would have insisted upon was a return to the standard of full Christlike service for all and to all, as soon as possible."
The problem has always come when that which was meant as a temporary accommodation becomes frozen in time and custom and culture. Then it is no longer seen as an accommodation to human weakness; it becomes "the will of God," complete with out-of-context proof-texting.
God always stoops to accommodate our immaturity, because They love us and are always looking out for our best interest. They are not willing that we should perish. When there is an issue we have problems with, rather than just blowing us away, God woos us bit by bit…beginning right where we are and slowly nudging us in the proper direction.
The Apostles, as they helped the young churches live out the mind-blowing freedom Jesus brought, had to continue God's use of temporary accommodations to the weakness and hard-heartedness of men during the process of growing up in the kingdom family of God.
In their writings we see more of the same problems with the fluid nature of growth being frozen into structures of power and domination, rather than freedom in Christ by the Spirit.
So how do things become frozen? I think it stems from what M. Scott Peck, M.D., thought about original sin. Peck came to see original sin as laziness: "attempting to avoid necessary suffering, or taking the easy way out." Laziness is the anti-cHesed.
(Terminology break: cHesed is a Hebrew concept usually translated something like gracious loving-kindness -- I believe it is the concept used to describe the primary nature of God as Love -- it describes the activity of faithful covenant keeping. I join it with the Greek concept of perichoresis, which describes the Life of the Trinity: mutual interpenetration without loss of distinctiveness. The result: Perichoretic cHesed.)
And so the Fabric of Accommodation is woven with threads of laziness … because growth is hard work. Life is difficult, and learning to think clearly – not simplistically – is the weak link in all humans. Paul tells us that this can only be done by the continual renewing of our minds by the Spirit. We must learn to think with the Mind of Christ!
The drive for independence actually leads to a worse kind of dependence. Rejecting dependence on God as faithful covenant partner, the human drive for independence (at the Fall and since) was a rejection of the necessary suffering required for growth and interdependence and cHesed: mutually seeking the best interest of the covenant partners.
The cross Christ has asked us to take up daily is the dance of Perichoretic cHesed: to both receive and give love that submits, grace that serves, and mercy that initiates and leads. To allow ourselves to be drawn into the Eternal Perichoretic cHesed in order to share it. This is a profound paradox -- his yoke is easy and his burden is light....
- Patriarchy as a system of social order was allowed as an accommodation by God to the social order of humanity in its infancy. There are many examples of how God rejected patriarchy when new lessons were being taught. (Think about what Jesus meant when he said that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.)
- The subjugation of women (and children and slaves and other members of the family/tribe) is a foundational principle of patriarchy. As a consequence of the Fall, God foresaw that women would desire their men (even with increased pain in childbirth) as protectors and providers (a mere shadow of their originally intended dynamic partnership), and that their men would use their power to rule over them. To state that this has always been the intention of God in the creation of humanity is a bizarre kind of blindness.
- Polygamy, as a sub-system of patriarchy, was also accommodated and used by God to educate humanity and provide justice for those involved – as a part of experiencing kingdom life that was already, but not yet fully, being realized. From creation God intended that marriage would be a permanent bonding between one man and one woman for the purpose of experiencing a foreshadowing of the blessing of the Perichoretic cHesed of the Eternal Triune God – including being sub-creators under God (HT J.R.R. Tolkien) and procreators.
- Divorce, then, is abhorred by God – but is yet another accommodation to the hard-heartedness of men. It was provided as a protection of the wives (and children) from abuse and abandonment. It shows the immaturity of those who are not willing or ready to do the hard work required for intimate relationship and community to flourish as Perichoretic cHesed.
- Slavery was a reality in every ancient human society. God tolerated slavery as an accommodation to human social and economic circumstances. However, he fostered maturity in humanity when he gave slaves a frequent place in Their kingdom work – offering protection, respect, and ultimately hope for freedom as well as adoption in the redemptive work of Jesus!
- Racism is a subset of slavery in that those races that were victorious in battle took slaves both as a way to humiliate the defeated (put them in their place, as it were) as well as to provide laborers. The history of slavery in America is full of talk about slaves not being fully human. Makes me ill to even think about it, especially having recently read the original manuscript of 12 Years A Slave….
- Monarchy in Israel was an accommodation by God to the weakness of humanity, who wanted a human king – even knowing that a king would tax and dominate them – rather than accept God as king. "Lording it over" others is NOT the plan of God, as Jesus clearly taught.
All these are forms of accommodation God made to the hardness of men's hearts. Each of them represents a rejection of the will of God that They were willing to accommodate in order to lead humanity home.
But in the fullness of time, God came in the flesh as Jesus – God With Us – and set the record straight for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
In the section on Increasing Interpersonal Competence, Chris Argyris developed and articulated his Immaturity-Maturity continuum as a way to show how institutions always tend to foster immaturity because they value order, efficiency and conformity over creativity, effectiveness and diversity. (Management of Organizational Behavior, Sixth Edition, Paul Hersey and Kenneth H. Blanchard, Prentice Hall, 1993, pp. 64-69)
I believe the theory known as Situational Leadership, developed by Hersey and Blanchard (Management of Organizational Behavior, Sixth Edition, Paul Hersey and Kenneth H. Blanchard, Prentice Hall, 1993, pp. 183-219), is so powerful and true because it is a representation of God's leadership style as They exist as Three who mutually submit, serve and lead together as they live out their Oneness as Perichoretic cHesed.
As They work to help humanity see the reality of our inclusion via adoption in the New Covenant in Jesus, They submit and serve and lead us for our best interest. Their actions are always about growth and freedom and participation in the Great Dance of Perichoretic cHesed (which I call the perfect relational pH).
Leaders with the proper pH lead according to the readiness level of the follower, not according to their preferred leadership style. Hersey and Blanchard identify four paired styles of leading and following, and humans need to recognize themselves in each style. The challenge is that our leader or follower style will be different depending on the situation. We can't just turn on auto pilot – we have to think clearly in order to discern the proper style. Here is a quick summary and a handy chart.
Pen Wilcock's fabulous Lent book calls the name of God – I AM THAT I AM – Present Presence. I think that's just right. Our Eternal Triune God lives in Kairos time…it is always NOW. Their presence is always present – we are never alone! Perichoretic cHesed is a dance of expectant responsiveness.
Jesus said that his yoke is easy and his burden is light. Jesus shares the cross/yoke that is the perfect pH for us to bear: he stoops in cHesed to bind himself to us, so that we may walk out that cHesed together as we do God's will.

Well...my firstborn is on his way home from college for spring break. Woo hoo!
May you be swept up into the Great Dance, beloved....

Tuesday 21 December 2004 @ 00:00
MyFone, a brand-new Sydney, Australia IP (Internet Protocol) telecommunications company, has been able to jump to the front quickly with the help of telecom system integrator Symbio Networks and technology vendor Emergent Network Solutions. Using Emergents ENTICE (Emergent Network Telecommunications Infrastructure Control Environment), an industry leading all-in-one IP call control platform, Symbio was able to build a next-generation VoIP network for MyFone that instantly rivals larger network providers withmuch larger budgets.
MyFone's service quality and reliability competes head-to-head; the company also offers a rich feature set, customer self-provisioning, and the ability to scaleto over 500,000 customers. Best of all, Symbio was able to complete MyFone's build-out in just four weeks' time, from zero to startupproving that alternative, IP-based telcos needn't spend monthsor millionsin order to make quick inroads in the fast-changing telecom industry.
"Our business strategy is to exploit two emerging opportunities in Australia," said Kenneth Leung, Vice President/Sales for MyFone. "One is to capture a significant share of the VoIP market by gaining first-mover advantage in our market areas. The other is to be the leading provider of international long distance prepaid calling cards, since so many Australians are multi-cultural and make international calls to friends and family."
"MyFone was able to establish the first VoIP point of presence in Sydney by aggressively seeking a turnkey solution for planning, deployment, and ongoing support. They've been able to provision thousands of customers in their first few weeks of business by offering a dependable, high quality product," noted Rene Sugo, Director of Symbio Networks. "ENTICE has been a key factor in that success."
ENTICE is Emergent's flagship open-solutions platform that provides carrier-grade call control, translations, routing and element provisioning for a network of H.323, SIP or H.248 based network elements. Comprised of the ENTICE softswitch and ENTICE session controller, the platform also incorporates ELICIT (Emergent Local Integrated Carrier Internet Telephony), a feature package that delivers a wide range of local and enhanced services including voicemail, call forwarding/transfer/waiting, caller ID, 3-way calling, unified messaging, conferencing and much more.
"Because ENTICE is a technology-agnostic platform, it supports all major IP vendors including Cisco, Grandstream, Azatel, Sipura, SNOM, Audiocodes, and NetComm," notes Sugo. "This makes it easier for MyFone or its customers to find and obtain the best, most available endpoint products. ENTICE gives users competitive advantages even beyond deployment."
"Quality in the telecom field is more than just voice quality. It's the end-to-end experiencefrom the customer picking up the phone, dialing the digits, and talking, to hanging up the phone," added Wendy Liew, MyFone's Vice President/Group Marketing and Carriers Relationships. "Our customers have to feel that the experience is so 'normal' that it's no different from a traditional service. In fact, we want them to 'forget' the service is there."
In addition to installing the ENTICE platform, Symbio established MyFone's co-location service, set up the billing system, arranged carrier interconnect services and integrated routers, firewalls and gateways to complete a total turnkey system. The final solution was less expensive than comparable solutions from other major suppliers
"Symbio's ENTICE network has allowed us to deploy a very cost-effective network whilst providing all the key features and functionality required of a next generation product," explained MyFones Leung. "By identifying a technology partner like Symbio, we can focus on marketing and sales while Symbio takes care of all matters relating tothe infrastructure. We are confident that Symbio and ENTICE will be able to help us achieve our expansion plans."

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
A Novel
Ben Fountain
Ecco: 320 pp. $25.99
A casual observer might see in Billy Lynn a dutiful Iraq War soldier, a trash-talking 19-year-old popping a beer before noon, a muscled-up guy tussling with his buddy or a virgin falling for a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. He is, by turns, all of the above; what makes him special is what's inside his head.
In Ben Fountain's first novel, "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk," Billy and the other surviving members of Bravo Squad are home from Iraq, mid-war, on a victory tour. The novel takes place in one day, a compression of time that allows Fountain, who is in his 50s and previously published a collection of stories, to stretch Billy's internal life to tragicomic proportions.
The day is Thanksgiving, and the eight Bravo Squad soldiers are being trucked out for a patriotic show during halftime at a Cowboys game. They have a full agenda: meet-and-greets with rich football fans, a news conference and a photo op with the cheerleaders. If they're lucky, they'll brush up against Destiny's Child, the halftime show's star attraction. Accompanying them is Albert Ratner, an award-winning Hollywood producer who promises them $100,000 each for the film rights to their story.
Bravo Squad fought bravely in a battle that was caught on video and went viral. That's why they're back in the U.S., heroes from a war in which little has gone right. "You have given America back its pride," says Norm, the Cowboys' owner; even as he accepts this praise, Billy thinks, "America? Really? The whole damn place?"
The soldiers are treated well, limo'd, fed and beveraged. But the litany of rhetoric about the war has become so familiar that Billy hears little more than phonetic buzzwords: "terrRist … nina leven … currj … ire way of life" which we read scattered across a mostly blank page. Despite their heroism, they have to go back; they're on their last day in America before returning to Iraq.
Each of the soldiers has a nickname, the origins of which are as convoluted as cockney slang; we know them as Mango, A-bort, Crack. They joke in a swelling chorus, sharp and fast, showing a lively camaraderie. Their supervisor, Sergeant Dime, is the standout, a live wire of intellect and personality. Billy sticks close, watching to see how he is who he is.
Billy used to look up to Shroom, the squad philosopher. But Shroom is gone — dead in the firefight. Billy cycles back to their conversations, about books and fear and fate. He depends on Shroom's wisdom: A tangle with the law pushed him into the Army before he could finish high school.
That truncated education seems at odds with Billy's heightened narration. "One second the Bravos are the sludgiest sort of street-corner pervs, and the next they are the nation's very spine and marrow, yes, near to the holy they are, angelic warriors of America's crusader dreams," he observes. The distinction helps to underscore the unusually explicit note on the copyright page: This is a work of "pure fiction."
Fountain's novel is not a work of realism; it's an über-story, defined by irony and metaphor. Texas Stadium stands in for America, where the wealthy in their special section have access and privilege completely alien to Billy and his fellow soldiers. He and Mango sneak off to smoke a joint with a Hispanic waiter, who says he's thinking of joining up. "Don't," the soldiers say, but the man explains his reasoning. "What else is there," Mango assents, and each man repeats it. This is what they have.
Lest this seem unbearably grim, there is plenty to keep things light. Take, for instance, the chapter in which Albert attaches not George Clooney or Brad Pitt to his movie but Hilary Swank — which means someone in the all-male Bravo Squad stands to get a Hollywood sex change. Then there's the prospect of the halftime show, which looms larger and more ridiculous the closer it gets.
An unexpected propulsive ending awaits Billy once the moving parts align: A pending movie deal, Sergeant Dime's particular leadership, the halftime spectacular, the cheerleader, the desire to stay safe at home instead of going back to Iraq. Rarely does such a ruminative novel close with such momentum.

Now, now my friends – I understand your strong and emotional feelings for matters of the heart, like salvation, sin, forgiveness and grace. But we can all do a better job of exercising some love toward one another, don't you think?
As with any interchange of ideas, there will be disagreements – but that's the whole point! You should not enter this discussion if all you want to do is foist your opinions as total truth on someone else.
You should only take part as you open yourself up to new ideas, explore fresh ways of looking at old ideas, empathize with your brothers and sisters who write opposing points of view, and prepare yourself to respond in the love of Jesus toward one another.
Is that possible? Yes. Let's do it.
Let's not see this debate slow or stop – there's something good happening here and I would love all of you to share this blog with your friends and families and invite them in.
Ask your unsaved friends to read and comment. Encourage your relatives who've always gone to "traditional" churches to take part. Please find a few atheists and open the doors for them to have a part! How about former church members who have been hurt and are disillusioned with the whole organized church scene?
Do we just write everyone else off as being in error, or do we take our time and calmly listen, then reason together until we all gain understanding?
How did Jesus handle this type of situation?
Wouldn't it be beautiful if this became a forum whereby we could be honest with one another, grow together and become "fitly joined together," as the Bible says?
Gee whiz, saints, the world might even see this and be impressed!

I recently made my way through Lyn Hejinian's "The Book of a Thousand Eyes." Coming out over 300 pages, this work is a lengthy and interesting meditation on sleep, night, perspective, and narrative.
It is tempting to take a poem and hone in on how it is or isn't an example of language poetry, but I want to look at a specific poem. It is the first poem that ends with the first indicated break at "Of a mummy! what sort of individual is that?"
What made my ears perk up as I read this poem was not the "language" aspects of the discussion (though, her use of words and categories as poles of the poem is remarkable), but I was drawn to the ends of lines and the enjambment that she uses to craft a poem that leaps from line to line. Further than that, Hejinian starts the poem switch-hitting: she throws us a line that acts as a thesis statement or summation of the content and action of the poem. This first thought inhabits and haunts much of the rest of the body of this poem.
Let's look at a few lines in particular to see how this enjambment works.
Mounted on a sorrel rocking horse
Whose reins are made of braided hair
And whose saddle is slipping like a continental plate
Around a diamond
Because the girth is loose and we're bound
On a crash course. . .
Her bag full of images are impeccable, even in this middle section. She gives us things that loosely connect: a sorrel rocking horse, reins, braided hair, saddle, bound, crash. There's a continental plate, a diamond, and a crash course that are also loosely connected. But there is no final punctuation; this is, presumably, part of one long sentence with many disparate images that play off of and against one another.
However, notice the way that Hejinian stitches them together!
The final word of each line is the needle and thread that holds this multi-chambered thought together. It is comparable to Gregory Pardlo's Pulitzer prize winning "Digest," which used enjambment to make the final word of each line the pivot point of two divergent clauses. Hejinian uses these images and words as the thread that binds lines together (to both immediately adjacent lines and even earlier lines of the poem). "Horse" obviously ties to its own line, and stitches "reins." "Hair" connects to "horse" and "reins" while stitching "saddle." "Plate" to "diamond." The poem goes on and on like that, using the enjambment of these huge, grammatically questionable sentences to piece together the conflicting images into constellations.
I didn't forget about that summary that precedes the poem!
What a curious convention to break. Amateur poets give summary lines at the end that spell out too much of the magic of a poem. Unpracticed poets don't trust the audience and kill the animal by picking it apart and giving it an anatomy chart stapled to its back. Hejinian makes a rookie mistake on purpose and has this summation carry the poem forward, rather than killing the end. Hejinian takes a conventional no-no, thumbs her nose at it, and turns it on its head.
"Ideas cross empty spaces in a game" begins the piece. This lays out the play of the poem, the constellations of ideas versus images that circle around rural or farm life, around county fairs, around childhood, around tragedies, around girlhood, and around womanhood. This first line sets up the disjunctive of the poem by setting ideas (mental constructs) apart from things (perhaps these are merely physical objects) and then telling them to march to the things. Ideas must move back into place in this game. There is a disconnect that must be resolved or played within.
And we see this tension continue in lines like "The rider will be thrown" or "When it fails to accord with her ideas of what a county fair should be/—Timeless!" Here, "Timeless" serves as a capitalized idea that fails to match up to what is. How things ought be must reach for what is. Even the final lines play out the tension between idea and thing: "Impressions/Of a mummy! what sort of individual is that?" Impressions being held as ideas and the question that points to facts—individuals are not impressions or mental objects.

30-yard dumpster filled with camp trash
A tidying of transient campsites just west of the I-25/Cimarron interchange filled a 30-yard-capacity dumpster last month, but the new procedure for the work went
smoothly, according to Gold Hill Police Commander Kurt Pillard.
The cleanup by city-contracted Keep Colorado Springs Beautiful (KCSB) was the first since city officials, worried about legal challenges, had ordered a halt to the monthly camp "sweeps" in October.
The only complaint from homeless advocates in May was that some of the advance signage - letting the campers know a cleanup was coming - wasn't sufficiently "user friendly," Pillard said. "We're in the process of reviewing that. But if that's the worst thing we have to worry about, then we're doing all right."
The May cleanup was focused on the Westside, on public land along the Fountain Creek corridor, where the camps typically crop up. According to Pillard, KCSB scouted the corridor and decided the only area with significant debris was on either side of Highway 24/Cimarron Street between I-25 and Eighth Street.
The work did not include removal of the camps themselves. The city is developing an ordinance that would make it illegal to store private property on public land. Pillard said he plans to talk about the ordinance at a meeting of the Council of Neighbors and Organizations (which has gone on record in support of the ordinance concept), once the city's legal staff has the draft wording ready.
Pillard said the city has not yet scheduled a return to monthly camp cleanups, but is "kind of heading in that direction." The next one is set for June 27, probably at sites other than the Westside, he said.

SLI Systems Ltd., a vendor of site search technology to e-retailers, has hired a Silicon Valley technology insider as its new CEO. Chris Brennan takes the leadership position Oct. 9, replacing co-founder and CEO Shaun Ryan, who will become chief innovation officer.
SLI Systems points to Brennan's track record for growing technology companies and fundraising prowess in explaining his hire. "To more quickly accelerate our growth, the SLI board of directors has recruited a Silicon Valley veteran with a consistent track record in growing technology companies, someone who will take that proven know-how and apply it to the opportunities at SLI," says Greg Cross, chairman of SLI's board.
87 of the 1000 largest e-retailers ranked by their North American web sales use SLI Systems in for site search, making the vendor the No. 2 provider of site search technology to e-retailers in the region, second to Oracle Corp., according to Internet Retailer's recently published 2016 Leading Vendors to the Top 1000. That was up from 82 in 2013. Publicly traded since 2013, the 14-year-old SLI Systems is based in Christchurch, New Zealand, and has offices around the world. Brennan will be based in San Jose, Calif.
However, SLI's client retention rate slipped during the 12 months ended June 30, according to the vendor's annual report, to 87% from 90%. The vendor says the slip was due to a "small number of large clients who switched e-commerce platforms." It says it has 586 customers globally, up from 511 in the prior year, and that more than 1,000 websites across all industries use its services. (Internet Retailer is an SLI Systems customer).
The vendor's revenue increased 27.7% during the same period to $28.6 million in New Zealand dollars ($18.3 million). But its net loss also widened, growing 24.6% from a loss of NZ$5.7 million ($3.6 million) to a loss of NZ$7.1 million ($4.5 million). Its IPO stock price stock was NZ$1.50 a share ($0.96). Today it closed at NZ$0.79 a share ($0.50).
Brennan's resume is peppered with CEO jobs, including at NetAuthority Inc., a security software firm that is no longer active; Contactual Inc., a web-based contact center platform acquired by 8x8 Inc. in 2011; and LogLogic Inc., a software vendor acquired by Tibco Software Inc. in 2012. Brennan also is a board member of MarketLive Inc., an e-commerce services provider. He says he intends to expand SLI's market share and add services.

LOS ANGELES -- Adam & Eve Pictures, the award-winning production division of AdamEve.com, on Wednesday announced it will begin shooting "9 1/2 Weeks – An Erotic XXX Parody" this week with director David Lord.
Starring Summer Brielle and James Deen, this triple-X take on the classic erotic film features Capri Cavalli, Seth Gamble, Courtney Taylor and Tommy Gunn.
"I'm so happy to bring this project to life," Lord said. "The original film has captivated audiences for nearly 30 years… and it is my hope to recreate the heat and the playfulness of the classic while going a step further."
Rachel Vigneaux, head of Adam & Eve Pictures, agreed. "We are very excited about this project and the vision that David Lord has for it," Vigneaux said.
"I'm honored and excited to be a part of this production," said Summer Brielle. "Working with James is a perfect fit for the emotional and sexual journey of this film."
Deen added, "I had never seen the original '9 1/2 Weeks,' and accepted the role just because I like working with David Lord. Now, after watching the movie, I am excited not only to work with Summer but play this role. This is going to be fun!"
Shooting starts today and continues Saturday.

Volkswagen Cabrio Electrical Problems
kominsky Posts: 850You are correct, that is exactly what it is... my daughter's away at school and I wasn't thinking that she had her car. She doesn't. It's sitting in the driveway. :blush: She has the same foam-surrounded box.
Anyway, the Hayne's manual shows how to remove... simply disconnect the battery, pull it out of the foam, disconnect the wiring connector and pull the vacuum line. Installation is the reverse. But they give no tests that can be performed to see if the part is faulty.0
bill721d Posts: 5Thanks for the reply. I'm tring to figure out if this box is working or not. If I use the key both doors lock or unlock so my thinking is the box is working. Neither key fobs are working so I'm not sure if this is the box that talks with the key fobs or if it Is only operates the locks and the signal comes from somewhere else. If that makes sense. I'm looking for some good hardware manuals but so far the three I've tried don't have much on this area. Bently publishing makes the dealer manuals so I may have to get those.0
robotony Posts: 1I'm seeing the exact same thing, did you find the root cause?0
bebeard Posts: 3hi all, thanks in advance for the help...
my wife has a 2000 vw cabrio,and the turn signals randomly stop working. I have checked the fuse, and the fuse is fine. could the relay be bad? how can it be checked?
pratte Posts: 1Did you get this resolved? I am having the same issue. Sounds like a relay of some sort.0
My lighter stopped working. The manual seems to indicate that the fuse is separate and on top of the other fuses and relays. Is this correct? Do I need to take the dash apart to get to it?0
coniw Posts: 2My drivers heated seat quit woking. Is this something I can fix easily?0
scooterox Posts: 1I bought my 16 yr old daughter a 2002 Cabrio conv. with 38K and it was great for two (2) weeks!! Then the drivers front window quit and (keep in mind it's out of warranty) I was told I needed a new motor and switch, which I had them replace. After that the passenger front window quit one (1) week later! I told her just to drive it that way.
I had a new stereo installed by Fryes on January 18th for a surprise b-day gift and dropped the car back at the High School with everything working properly - except of course the front passenger window. When she got home that evening she told me the key fob wasn't working and the horn was sounding every few seconds and the hazards would flash when this happened! Sounded like an alarm issue and I figured the key fob batteries were low so I replaced them and re-programmed the key fob according to the owners manual, which didn't help either situation. I first assumed that Fryes had shorted something when installing the new radio, which used a specific wiring harness that was bought specifically for that car, so I returned to Fryes to let them look at it before I took it to the VW dealership. During this day (of course it was raining all day) the windows would roll down on their own intermittently and sometimes roll back up and sometimes not, the horn would sound and the hazards might flash and might not!! The key fob had never began working again. Fryes took the new radio out and re installed the old one which had no affect on the problems and the windows actually rolled down in their garage with no key in the ignition! They said they new radio had been installed correctly and they re installed it and I was off to the VW dealer.
As of this message, the dealer has had the car two weeks and installed a new main computer chip, a different chip that supposedly operated the front windows separately and various other parts that they are now saying totals almost $2,000 with labor! At one point last week they said I needed both front window motors and switches, to which I replied was not correct (and not in so many nice words). I told them the drivers side front window was working, on it's own with no key in the ignition when I brought the car in and to go find the real problem. This morning the service guy wasn't in yet and I talked to the mechanic. By the way, I was told last Thursday the car was fixed but they wanted to keep it overnight to make sure. That sounds like a patient in the hospital. I called this morning to come pick it up and was told it still wasn't ready! When I got the mechanic on the phone he was very frustrated and said they had never figured out the whole problem but as they installed new electrical parts and computer chips, some things would work for a period of time then stop again and he, nor any techs at the dealership, had ever run across these issues. I suggested he contact VW corporate service (thinking he had of course already done that) but it seemed to be a novel idea to him! Either this car is possessed or VW doesn't have a clue or both. If anyone has had anything remotely resembling this issue or even heard of it please give me some direction, any direction. Should I contact corporate? The service tech stated they could find nothing relating to the radio install that would have caused any of this and that the radio had been properly and professionally installed. I find it hard to believe several components failed on the same day, whether related to the radio install or not. The dealership keeps asking for me to authorize new and very expensive parts to be installed but can't say if these parts are solving anything or not. Of course I have to authorize these requests as a car that has windows going up and down without any reason, plus all the other issues is basically worthless! If they eventually, by luck, replace the correct part why shouldn't they remove every other part they have installed to make sure the car actually needed them? I don't feel I should pay for those parts or the labor and I most definitely feel VW's corporate service division should have been called in and been able to diagnose the problem - and much sooner!! So much for the impeccable German engineering. Someone please help before I have a bill that is more than the car is worth! :lemon:0
apenniman Posts: 1My wife's cabrio has similar problems.
The horn flashing and hazards flashing starting going off while going down the road. The last time it happened was in the middle of a major snow storm with the heat cranked, the wipers, rear defroster and lights on. There was a puff of smoke from under the dash. I pulled into the near by rest stop and check it out. Everything with the horns and light straigten out, but I lost the remote access.
I know that the remote can also be used to control the windows up and down if you hold the button down for a while. My guess is that the remote control device is having all kinds of issues. I did not crawl under the dash to check out that problem, but I do do some diags on my window problem (wouldn't go down) and found that there were broken ground wires in the bundle of wires that goes from the door to the body.
Hope this might give an idea.
I had the same problems with my wife's 02 cabrio. The door look was the problem . the door look when turned operates the windows and the alarm . water intrusion on the electronics on the door lock was the cause. Chech the ground inside the drivers door lock0
vwcabrio02 Posts: 1Dear Scooterox,
I've owned a 2002 Cabrio GLX for the last 4 years and I've became best friends with my mechanic.
Yesterday I got similar issues that you've described:
1) When I left my car in the garage overnight I noticed all the windows were open.
2) The courtesy light on the drivers door wasn't working.
3) When I was driving, the alarm horn would sound 3 times.
4) The vanity lights were not working.
5) The factory radio kept going into SAFE mode each time I shut off the engine.
6) When I opened the driver side door the windows would go down.
7) A 20 Amp fuse towards the far right of the of the fuse box was blown.
So today I took it to a trusted mechanic as I haven't had much luck with the local VW Dealer. The mechanic replace the 20Amp fuse and as soon as the vanity light was turned on, it blew again.
So he took the drivers side door panel off and found that wires coming from the door lock had been rubbing against bare metal of the door and had burnt out the insulation and were making contact. He rewired that section, 6 wires in total and put the door panel back on and everything is working as it should.
Total cost of repair was $200.
I would suggest you ask you VW dealer to check the wiring in the drivers side door first and also refuse to pay for all the components that they've changed ($2K bill) as they haven't fixed you issues. Write to corporate if they refuse.
Hopefully your problem with be fixed and your daughter can enjoy the car.
Its a great car when its working.0
fireman16 Posts: 12002 Cabrio Engine Malfunction Icon is lit on dash. Past experience was coolant housing. What other common causes.0
My cruise control in 95 cabrio is not working. I am looking for the 5 amp fuse that is supposed to support it but cannot find it. The windows also have a mind of their own . They sometimes will not respond to the switch demand. I have heard that the power windows and cruise fuses are not in the fuse box under the dash, but located under the hood. I don't se e them.....Can any one give me the location of those fuses or help me with this cruise dilemma ? thanks js0
Claires Chicago areaPosts: 1,222The folks here suggest that the cruise control problem might be the pedal switches or a vacuum leak.

bobo25 Posts: 1The issue I'm having is when I turn on the blinker to turn right or left and depress the break the turn signal stops blinking.
Any thoughts?0
My 2000 Cabrio is doing the same thing ... I did get rear ended last month, so I am not sure if that caused it , going to the shop....I will repost an answer if they fix the problem0
A defective ingnition switch can cause all of the above problems. It's just a switch on the back of the key assembly. the problem is getting to it requires removal of the sterring wheel. the switch was 5$ on ebay.
good luck.....be carefull with air bags.
headlight turn on when emergency brake off. These are driving lights.
The electric windows in my 98 cabrio don't always respond properly to the switches. My cruise control also does not work. My mechanic is stumped. Any ideas on solutions???? thanks John0
poppyken1 Posts: 31997 vw cabrio will start and run for a few seconds. I have checked the coil pack-ok checked the fuel pump -ok but the trunk and door locks will operate by them selves then the car will not start. can this function be bypassed? thanks ken :">0
taggerstl Posts: 1I need to replace my Cabrio battery and cannot find one ANYWHERE. Sears even told me they don't make one anymore (AAA said they could replace if I was a member, so I know there are models that fit). Are there any after-market or retail off the shelf batteries that will work ok in the '99 Cabrio? (brand name, store name, model number(s) please! I do not want to spend $300 on a battery either...just something that works. Thanks!0
scapella Posts: 1I replaced my 98 Cabrio Battery at Sears last week. There should be a "battery guide book" affixed to the Sears Stores battery rack display. Your 99 should be the same as my 98. The catalog will supply you with the amount of "cranking" amps you need to turn the engine. Any battery that has the necessary capacity and terminal alignment will work in your car. Your biggest challenge is finding a Sears employee with a brain. My battery cost $104 with tax, I installed it myself. Your other choice is to go through a VW dealer. The dealer would be able to give you the correct size. Good luck.0
dayer45 Posts: 1I can't seem to find the fuse box on this car. Can anyone help? sure would be appreciated! thank you0
crappycabrio Posts: 1My wife has a 2001 cabrio with just over 100k miles on it. Recently there seem to be major issues with the electronics but the VW dealership has not been able to fix any of them. Two trips to VW and well over $1,000 and they still were not able to get the airbag light to turn off. We gave up on that when there next best idea was to deploy the airbag and then replace it.
Today when I tried to start the car nothing happened. Once I took the keys out of the ignition there was a clicking noise coming from near the air vent in the front left dash and the gauges were flipping back and forth. My wife had mentioned problems with the gauges before but VW always claimed they couldn't replicate it and nothing could be done. I captured a video this time so people can see the issue - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEs2brR4ZAQ
Does anyone have suggestions or idea about what could be going on? I'd like to have some suggestions for the mechanics this time since they seem to be all out of ideas.0
studioe Posts: 1OK, I'll try and keep this simple. These are the events that resulted in my wife having to drive home 45 minutes in a snowstorm with all the windows of her 200 Cabrio down....
we store the car every year for the winter. So, the day of the big storm, I ask my wife to get an oil change, and fill up the tank. Well, the oil change came with a free car wash. It was 25 degrees and dropping as the Noreaster appraoched. After the change, and shopping (which ran late of course), my wife returned to the car to find the locks frozen (we have to use the key - no wireless unlock). She did get the trunk open and somehow managed to wiggle her way to the driver's seat. When she put the key in the ignition, the alarm went off, and wouldn't let her start the car until she turned it off. Well, the only way to tunr it off is to put the key in the drivers door (nice irony).
Finally (after 20 minutes of alarm), she I guess forced the key in the drivers door, and turned the alarm off. Releived, she got in the car, and put the key in the ignition. This time all the windows in the car - all at once - went down automatically. None of the buttons made any difference, and they could not be put back up.
Needless to say, it was a long ride home. The windows are still down. I haven't had a chance to mess with the fuses. Has anyone had this happen before? Sugegstions?
Hello , I also have a 2000 Cabrio . The same thing happened to me ,alarm going off and all windows down , the only difference was it happened in the summer and just hopped in and drove home with the windows down and alarm blarring ! LOL ...I just have to laugh now because these cars have so many very strange problems but I cant help but love the car .
Anyway I have had lock problems in the past so I dont lock it or use the key in the door now , since its been awhile Im not sure if you turn the key slightly to the left or if its the right ,dont turn all the way ...then the windows will go back up ! good luck to you !0
I have a 99 Cabrio. Remember that when you open the driver's door and keep the key turned, all the doors open and ALL THE WINDOWS GO DOWN!
It seems to me that the switch inside the door that triggers all the windows to go down broke, got filled with water and shorted out, or something like that.
Not sure about the alarm, but seems as if opening the door with the proper key would turn off the alarm. If the switch was broken/frozen/waterlogged, it might not have recognized you opening the door with a key, but rather thought that you were opening the door without using the proper key and thus triggering the alarm.
Try taking off the door panel, finding the electronics behind the door switch. First unplug the switch, i think that should stop any signal from the switch to the "all windows down" trigger.0
My wife's 2002 had the same thing alarm going off driving down the road with windows down. Open the trunk and below the right turnsignal is a box encased in foam remove rubber bands and disconnect the wiring harness tro the box, this controls the alarm you can now put the windows up and drive but no alarm.0
ranj Posts: 12001 VW Cabrio. Coils keep burning up. Have had numerous codes over the past year from 'short to injectors' to the infamous P1582 (?) There is obviously some short problem leading to the coil, but can't seem to find a ground problem. I did notice last night, after it quit on a hill, that there is water running out. From where? Dunno. (And found that the back floorboard is soaked) Could this be causing a short that is throwing various codes and killing the coil? Just in case it is all connected....Cruise quit working, power windows are 'iffy', no electronic door lock (though I have heard that this has to do with the auxiliary vacuum pump in the trunk which is fried)

In case you were wondering, there is a God.
The Dough-Nu-Matic, available via the SkyMall in-flight catalog, is a miniature version of the Krispy Kreme fryer/conveyor belt that forms and fries savory doughnuts.
For just $130, you can make very small doughnuts at the clip of a dozen every six minutes. That means you can eat 120 miniature doughnuts every hour without leaving your home. You can make doughnuts in your bathroom and eat them in the shower. You can place doughnuts on each of your fingers, then eat them off like the magical Mr. Doughnut Hands. You can buy a kiddie pool, fill it with doughnuts, and swim in it while wearing doughnuts as water wings.
Dials on the side of the machine let you adjust the cooking temperature, but alas, there is no "jelly" setting. You'll need to hollow out the doughnuts and inject jelly into them yourself.
You'll need your own dough, and SkyMall doesn't mention whether oil is included in the package. You may need that, too, but the machine's enclosed, covered oil fryer means you won't get splattered with hot oil while you watch the doughnuts get ready for business....the business of shoving them into your pie-hole.
I repeat: you can now make doughnuts in your home and eat the living hell out of them.

You are in Nestlé Pakistan
Nestlé Pakistan will be holding a seminar on Food Safety in collaboration with the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) to mark the World Health Day.
The theme of the seminar, which will be held at the end of April, will correspond with the global theme of the day this year: 'Food Safety'.
Unsafe food that is contaminated or contains harmful viruses, bacteria, parasites and chemical substances, causes more than 200 diseases worldwide and is linked to almost 2 million deaths across the globe every year, the World Health Organization estimates.
"For Nestlé, the quality and safety of our products is our top priority," said Naveed Ahmad Khan, the Head of Technical for Nestlé Pakistan. "Our approach to food safety covers the entire value chain, from farm to fork. We ensure, at each step – starting with farmers and suppliers, at receipt of raw and packaging materials, manufacturing, filling and packing and finally storage and distribution – that rigorous quality assurance and auditing processes are followed, he said. According to Mr. Ahmad, the company, globally, does more food testing than any other entity in the world, carrying out 100 million tests a year on its products to ensure quality and food safety.
PCSIR Director General (Lahore) Dr. Shahzad Alam termed unsafe food "a serious issue" which needs collective and coordinated efforts on part of all stakeholders. "I really appreciate Nestlé Pakistan's efforts to highlight the importance of Food Safety by holding this seminar. It will enable us to sit down with many of the relevant stakeholdersand talk about tackling this issue."
Representatives from public and private sector institutions will be a part of the seminar as speakers and participants.
Nestlé Pakistan will soon be initiating visits to its factories for key opinion leaders to share with them how the company ensures food safety. In addition, the company will be partnering with educational institutions to introduce courses on food safety.

Yesterday I went grocery shopping with Mr. Money. I am really, really bad about cooking and making meal plans so it's hard for me to figure out what I need to buy when I go grocery shopping. Of course, I go shop with a list so I don't go crazy purchasing a ton of items we don't need. I know I need to work on meal planning but that's another issue, so I won't go there today. 🙂
Mr. Money was in charge of the grocery list, and when he noticed that I had "garlic (in a jar)" on the list, he questioned me on why I would want to purchase a jar of chopped garlic when I could easily buy the fresh garlic cloves and chop them myself. I completely understand that not only is it cheaper to buy the fresh garlic and chop it myself, but it's healthier too because it's not processed.
Why would I buy a jar of garlic? There are a couple reasons. First of all, the last time we bought fresh garlic, we bought it in bulk at Costco and it ended up sprouting and grew green shoots. Every single time I went to use it, I had to peel it, remove the shoots from the inside of the garlic (which ended up with a smaller yield), and then I had to chop it to use it. Needless to say, a lot of the garlic is going to be planted in the garden, which doesn't help now when I need garlic to use.
Secondly, I am lazy and prepping and chopping and mincing garlic. I don't like to cook, and I'd eat a bowl of cereal every night if I wasn't so conscious of nutrition. At least I'm honest, right? Buying a jar of garlic will save me time and encourage me to cook more, which will help me save money in the long run. Sometimes you actually do save money by buying convenience items!
What convenience items do you purchase that cost a little more but help you save money in the long run?
