Kid Nation mom files child abuse complaint
The show hasn't even debuted yet, but there's already controversy (though we thought one might be coming).
A parent of one of the kids on the new CBS Survivor/Lord of the Flies reality show Kid Nation has filed a complaint with New Mexico officials saying that the kids on the show were neglected. She says that one girl had her face burned by hot grease (she was cooking) and that other kids needed medical help after accidentally drinking bleach.
Most of the kids and parents have said great things about the show since filming ended, but a couple of parents and kids are saying they wouldn't do it again and it was a lot of work.
In case you haven't heard, Kid Nation is about 40 kids who are left alone in a deserted New Mexico town (actually old movie sets) to see if they can join together and create a society from scratch. It premieres September 19 at 8pm.

Apple has supposedly returned to eBay. The California-based tech giant is looking to sell refurbished products.
The online store does not have any Apple signage. The only time the company's name is mentioned is on the top of the page – "Full one-year Apple warranty included." Even the username is a strange pick: "factory_certified."
According to the eBay page, the products they sell are "returned to like-new condition," have received a complete burn-in testing, have been repackaged with the manual and charger and have been through the final quality inspection by Apple. There are only 6 products and they are all different capacity GSM version iPhone 5.
The eBay page sells the iPhone 5 at prices ranging from $449 to $499. The phones are being shipped from Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America, and you need to pay an extra $42.50 for USPS Priority Mail International.
All devices are factory unlocked and in excellent condition. They come with a new Lightning Cable, New USB Charger, New Apple Earpods and Manual.
It is worth mentioning that the iPhone 5 is not currently in production. Apple only sells iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c and iPhone 4s in their official online store. However, the iPhone 5c has pretty much the same capabilities like the iPhone 5 except the really nice aluminum casing. Also, a brand new, factory unlocked 16GB iPhone 5c currently costs $549 in the US Apple Store.
On another hand, Apple has never offered refurbished iPhones in their online store. The only products there are Macs or iPads. The eBay store accepts payments via PayPal, which the regular Apple store doesn't take.
So far, the eBay page has received only positive reviews in regards to all ratings categories: items, communication, shipping time and shipping charges.
Another expansion for Apple retail operations is currently undergoing in Switzerland. A new store is being built in the city of Basel and the opening is scheduled this Saturday, July 12.
This is Apple's 102nd store in Europe only, following the grand opening of the one in Puerta del Sol in Madrid. Apple already has three other stores on Swiss soil in Geneva, Zurich and Wallisellen.
The city of Basel is the third largest in Switzerland and is located next to the border with France and Germany. Basel is the center of world famous chemical and pharmaceutical companies.

Verizon, Google make net neutrality pact, sources say

Google and Verizon have come to an agreement on how network operators can manage Web traffic, according to two sources briefed on their negotiations.
The agreement, expected to be announced within days, comes as the Federal Communications Commission tries to get major Internet content firms and network service providers to strike a deal on disputed points of so-called net neutrality rules. It's unclear how the deal will affect the direction of those discussions.
Eat like a king! Stock up at eFoodsDirect
The FCC said Verizon and Google are still part of meetings between senior staff and officials at AT&T, Skype, a cable trade association and the Open Internet Coalition. Public interest groups criticized the meetings and the rumored agreement between Verizon and Google for allowing giant Internet firms to have a greater say in the future of how consumers access the Web.

A Kauai vehicle crash killed a 55-year-old county worker and injured two other workers just east of 'Ele'ele Thursday.
The man who died was identified as Severino Butay.
The crash happened around 9:30 a.m. on Kaumuali'i Highway going westbound, between mile marker 14 and 15.
Officials say the Kalaheo man was a county employee. He was standing next to a county pickup truck's trailer when a semi-truck collided into it.
The three county employees are believed to have been repairing a tire when traffic forced the semi-truck to attempt an abrupt stop. The semi-truck then veered off the roadway and hit the parked trailer.
The two injured workers were taken to Kaua'i Veterans Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the semi-truck did not report any injuries.
Traffic safety investigators closed Kaumuali'i Highway in both directions for roughly four hours while conducting an on-scene investigation. Lanes were reopened at around 2:30 p.m.
Police say the crash remains under police investigation.

A National Day of Deliberation?--A Commentary by Prof. Bruce Ackerman and Jiunn-Rong Yeh
(This essay was originally published in the November 22, 2005, China Times, in Chinese.)
President Bush's speech in Kyoto makes one thing clear: Taiwan's political future is intimately tied to its success in deepening its democracy. The more deeply we build the foundations of our democracy at home, the more support we will gain abroad.
This should be the watchword as the government of Taiwan launches its comprehensive exercise in constitutional revision for further democratic consolidation. A great deal of work will be required, of course, to fashion an initiative that accords with the amending procedure Taiwan just adopted this June, demanding the approval of three-fourths of the Legislative Yuan and the referendum. Once an initiative passes the legislature, however, we should engage the People in a new, and more democratic, fashion.
Traditionally, referenda have been one-shot affairs -- the people going to the polls to say Yes or No without taking preliminary steps to deliberate together on the choices facing the nation. The 2004 peace referendum in Taiwan happened just like that.
This populist method is unworthy of a modern democracy. If an issue is important enough to warrant decision by the people as a whole, it is important enough to require a more deliberate approach to decisionmaking. We propose a National Day of Deliberation that will take place three weeks before the constitutional referendum is put to the vote. Citizens will be invited to join with their neighbors at community centers throughout the land to discuss the fundamental question raised by the referendum.
Suppose, for example, that Deliberation Day began with a familiar sort of televised debate between the leading spokesman for the Yes and No sides. After the TV show, local citizens take charge as they engage the main issues in small discussion groups of 15 and larger plenary assemblies. The small groups begin where the televised debate leaves off. Each group spends an hour defining questions that the national spokesmen left unanswered. Everybody then proceeds to a plenary assembly to hear their questions answered by local representatives of the Yes and No sides.
After lunch, participants repeat the morning procedure. By the end of the day, they will have moved far beyond the top-down television debate of the morning. Through a deliberative process of question-and-answer, they will achieve a bottom-up understanding of the issue confronting them. Discussions begun on Deliberation Day will continue during the run-up to Referendum Day, drawing millions of non-attenders into the escalating national dialogue.
Our proposal is based on more than 30 social science experiments conducted throughout the world by Stanford professor James S. Fishkin. They involve Deliberative Polling, a new form of public consultation. Fishkin invite a scientific random sample of citizens to spend a week-end deliberating on major issues of public policy. Participants greatly increase their understanding of the issues and often change their minds on the best course of action. Swings of five to ten percentage points or more are very common. No less important, people leave with a more confident sense of their ability as citizens to contribute constructively to political life.
Perhaps the Deliberative Poll conducted in Australia is most suggestive, because it was held in conjunction with a recent constitutional referendum on whether the country should become a republic. A random sample of 347 Australians assembled in Canberra, where they heard leaders of the Yes and No sides respond to repeated rounds of questions that had been worked out in small group discussions.
As the participants became more informed, they increasingly favored an indirect model for selecting a president -- the same option favored by a majority of the Constitutional Convention which had initiated the referendum. In contrast, a separate survey of the mass public revealed that the rest of the country gained much less information from the referendum campaign than our deliberators gained from the experiment.
Although the informed voters in the microcosm moved to a strong yes, the mass of poorly informed voters moved to a no. If the mass of Australians had a chance to engage in something like a Deliberative Poll through Deliberation Day, the result of the referendum might well have been different.
The most recent Deliberative Poll, held in the People's Republic of China, is also illuminating. A randomly selected group of 257 residents of Zenguo, a township of 240,000 in Zhejiang province, deliberated for a day on the public works priorities. After a day's discussion, the participants gave a low priority to almost all of the "prestige projects" that largely involve highway construction or the creation of major parks, but put four sewage treatment plants and a system of smaller, but more diffuse, parks at the top of their list. The local Communist Party responded by substituting the citizen's choices for its initial proposals.
In countries ranging from Bulgaria to the United States, the scientific data collected from the Polls establish that deliberation makes a difference. About two thirds of the attitudes measured in these experiments change significantly after participants think and talk about the issues. Moreover, the process is very democratic. Voters from all classes learn and change their opinions -- not just the more educated.
A National Day of Deliberation will require careful preparation. Citizens must obtain reservations at local centers; centers must be prepared for use; center supervisors must be recruited from school staff and volunteer organizations; and so forth. But all this is perfectly doable, as Ackerman and Fishkin have established in an intensive study of the practical issues involved. Taiwan certainly can affort this: with the estimated GNP of 15,156 USD per person this year and with 29% of its citizens having a college degree. More importantly, Taiwan has labored throughout the 1990s to build a vibrant new democracy and made a deep commitment in doing so.
Deliberation Day would be a major undertaking -- but so is the idea of popular sovereignty. If it makes sense for ordinary citizens, on certain great occasions, to take their own political destinies into their own hands, it makes sense to give them an opportunity to cast their votes in an informed fashion, and not merely respond to sound-bites and emotional appeals.
This is especially true on questions concerning the Constitution. Citizens are especially ill-informed on constitutional matters, and are especially prone to last-minute media barrages. But as experiments in Australia and elsewhere establish, a day of democratic discussion dramatically clarifies the basic issues, and permits the majority to make an informed choice. Now is the time for Taiwan to lead the world in creating a form of citizen deliberation and decision worthy of a modern democracy.
Bruce Ackerman is Sterling Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University and the author, with James S. Fishkin, of Delibertion Day, published by the Yale University Press. Jiunn-Rong Yeh is Minister of Research, Development, and Evaluation Commission of the Cabinet of Taiwan and Professor of Law at National Taiwan University.

This was the scene outside the Pines Road Wal-Mart around 7:45pm this evening.
A man driving a dark blue 2001 Chevrolet Impala was being stopped by an officer for playing loud music on Audrey Lane in North Shreveport, but he didn't want to stop. He led police on a chase that took them on westbound I-20, to just before the first Waskom exit, when the suspect turned his car around in the median and headed back eastbound into Louisiana.

Players should have played Ranji: Rahul Dravid
Former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid has said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) should have allowed cricketers, who are part of the Indian One Day International (ODI) squad that will leave for New Zealand, to play Ranji Trophy quarter-finals for their respective domestic sides.
"I think there was a good opportunity to [let the six players play the quarterfinals], because even after the 12th, there are almost seven days before the first one-day match starts on the 19th," Dravid told espncricinfo.
"I guess there was a good opportunity to do that, and it's only six players, so maybe these six players could have left a day or two late ... I'm sure the Ranji Trophy teams and the coaches would have been very happy to have some of these boys play," he said.
Suresh Raina, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammed Shami and Stuart Binny will leave for New Zealand on Jan 12, reports said.
The quarter-finals will start from Wednesday and Jan 12 will be the last day.
The first ODI between India and New Zealand will be held at Napier from Jan 19.

Top 10 Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car stories of 2012
One of the best things about the arrival of a new year is that it prompts us to reflect on the previous 12 months. We at Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car have been fortunate in 2012, getting the opportunity to share so many of our subjects' wonderful cars and stories with our readers. Here, we look back on 10 of our most memorable features from the past year. If we've left your favorite off the list, please let us know in the comments.
|Issue #77, January 2012 – Fitch's Feat. America lost a true hero this past October with the death of John Fitch. For our January 2012 issue, Jim Donnelly sat down with Fitch to hear the story of how he helped create historic Lime Rock Park, that gem of a road course in northwestern Connecticut. The enterprise led Fitch to sell his house in Stamford in the mid-1950s and move to Lime Rock, which would be his home for the rest of his life. In the story, Fitch explained that he and Bill Milliken avoided high banks in their design; "We had shallower banking, and I believe it's made the track, and the races, much more interesting."
|Issue #79, March 2012 – 16 to Buy in 2012. We asked our editors to gaze into their crystal balls and let us know which cars stood a good chance of being discovered by collectors in the near future. The 16 candidates they picked out were … unpredictable, true, but you couldn't say there was a boring car in the bunch. At any rate, don't blame us if you didn't buy a Renault Dauphine, an Infiniti Q45 or an Opel GT while you still could.
|Issue #81, June 2012 – Keepers. We told this story in three chapters, each one an up-close look at a car that had been with one family for more than a generation. We looked at a 1959 Triumph TR3A that was now safely in the hands of the loving uncle of the young woman who had been devoted to it; a 1964 Volkswagen Convertible and a 1974 BMW 2002 that taught their current owner a lesson in appreciating things that are built to last; and a 1961 Fiat 1200 Cabriolet that speaks to the owner of his parents' love for each other. The enthusiastic response we got to this feature guarantees we'll be doing it again.Issue #81, June 2012 – Unusual Suspects. What says "summer" better than a convertible? Knowing our readers' taste for the unusual, we took a look at 20 less-than-obvious vintage choices for affordable, top-down fun. From the Amphicar 770 to the Volkswagen Thing, there was something in this list for everybody. We gave the popular convertibles their due, too, with our list of the 10 most popular roadsters in the U.S. (Spoiler alert: Topping the list was the MGB. It's okay – you don't have to feign surprise.)
|Issue #83, July 2012 – True Blue. When Roy Marcaurelle and his son Ben stepped off an airliner in Colorado, they had yet to see the dormant, 50-year-old Volvo 544 they had just bought, and would be trusting to get them back home to Newburyport, Massachusetts, 2,000 miles away. Terry Shea's story of how they got the Volvo running in less than an hour and made it back East with no major problems makes this one of our favorite Driveable Dreams of the year.
|Issue #84, August 2012 – Spitfire at 50. Our celebration of the Spitfire's 50th anniversary included Mark J. McCourt's interview with Mike Cook, who was then Triumph's U.S. advertising and PR director; Jeff Koch's drive in the 565th example built, restored by its longtime owner; Mark's authoritative, cradle-to-grave history of the model; and ten of the best stories submitted by our readers.Issue #84, August 2012 – Back from the Brink. Any amateur restorer who rescues a hulk that's already being parted out has our respect. When the car is something as rare and exotic as a Lancia Flaminia GTL, our respect is doubled. Dave Adams is a former Pontiac GTO guy who fell in love with Lancias at first sight, and the Flaminia was his first-ever European car. The work that he and his mentor, and old-world body man named Dick Frye, accomplished in saving this Superleggera-bodied GTL from the crusher makes this Restoration Profile unforgettable.
|Issue #85, September 2012 – More is More. The Ferrari Testarossa is a car that nearly everyone has seen, thanks at least in part to the posters that were tacked to a million walls, but few actually know. David Traver Adolphus's up-close photography and vivid driving impressions bring this definitive Eighties supercar to life. Reverence, fear, desire – they're all part of the Testarossa experience. As owner Sanjay Mehta says, "People are either in awe of it, or say, 'What the hell did you buy a Testarossa for?' There's never any middle ground."
|Issue #87, November 2012 – Brian and Briggs' Big Adventure. The Lister-Jaguar defended Jaguar's sporting reputation after Browns Lane had withdrawn from racing. The example we featured, recently brought into the United States by Jaguar authority Terry Larsen, was the prototype, which had originally belonged to Briggs Cunningham. Numerous photographs of this historic racing machine, throughout its history and in its current state of preservation, accompanied Jim Donnelly's fine narrative.
|Issue #88, December 2012 – Reader Restorations. Okay, we're cheating a little here – this was really seven stories in one. When we asked Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car readers to tell us about the restorations they've done in their garages, we were overwhelmed. The seven detailed in this issue, including Peter Army's green Austin-Healey 3000 on the cover, are nothing short of inspiring. Dean Johnson, John F. Good, Bill Denning, Dave Graham, Jim Quade, Bill Rials and Peter Army – take a bow, gentlemen.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1965 Lancia Flaminia Zagato Super Sport
The hard work's done, it seems. While this 1965 Lancia Flaminia Zagato Super Sport for sale on Hemmings.com runs and drives, thanks to a recent mechanical refurbishment, it falls squarely into the driveable dream category, with fading paint and a complete yet rough interior. One could without much difficulty restore it, but why not enjoy it as is for a while before tearing it down? From the seller's description:
This particular Flaminia Super Sport bodied by Zagato was built in 1965, is the most advanced of the Flaminia line, and was fitted at the factory with the desirable triple carburetor set up known as "3C", and the updated 2.8 liter engine, enlarged from the 2.5 liter cars built during the first and second series of production. In total, less that 600 Zagato bodied Flaminias were built during the three production series.
This particular example spent many years in the care of a diehard Lancia enthusiast who cultivated a collection of several Lancias from the Flaminia era and earlier. At the end of his tenure the car received a major, post-storage service to the tune of approximately $15,000. The work was all mechanical, and included a complete brake system hydraulic service inclusive of the brake lines and caliper seals, a cooling system service inclusive of hoses and the restoration of the radiator, a fuel system service complete with boiling out the gas tank and rebuilt of the carburetors, among other smaller works.
The resulting car, while not cosmetically restored, is absolutely road ready. It starts easily, and runs and drives exceptionally well. The engine has a smooth idle and very good power, the driveline is free of vibrations, the transaxle smooth shifting, the suspension compliant, and brakes effective, stopping the car straight and in an appropriate distance.
Although generally solid, original in equipment, and quite complete, the cosmetic nature of the car is unrestored. The paint, which appears to be in the original color, is older. The chrome should be redone, but save for a few dings in the bumpers, is in excellent restorable condition. The upholstery appears to be original, but also justifies replacement. Key items such as the emblems, switchgear, door and window handles, factory wood steering wheel, and gauges all remain in place, taking considerable guess work out of the restoration.

Back in 2011 I attended a caregiver conference in Orlando. On my way home I stopped at the Okahumpka Service Plaza for gas and a bite to eat. While there, I called my partner to give her an estimate of when I'd be home.
My partner has renamed the service plaza, "Okahumpka and Uncle Whizzy."
So that's what we call it.
It's one of two service plazas on Florida's Turnpike between I-75 and Orlando. I've stopped here a few times over the years. At 40.25 miles from home, it took less than a mile to reach it during today's ride.
There is an actual town in Lake County to the east, called Okahumpka. (The service plaza in Sumter County is named after the town.) As of 2012, the town's population was 1,120 people.
The name has several translations, depending on whom you ask: "Single Lake," "Lonely Water," and "Deep Water." The town is located on the site of an ancient village known as "Okeehumptee," a combination of the Hitchiti oki ("water") and Seminole-Creek hamki ("one").
Another source translates oka as "water" and humpka as "deep." A spring in the area contains exceptionally deep water and used to be called Bugg Spring, for a man who drowned in it. Closed to the public, the spring is part of a Navy program for training divers. (Source: TripTrivia.com)
There used to be a train station in town.
But it's been moved and was an attraction at last year's Florida State Fair in Tampa.
The Campbell House (also called the Valentine House) was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. According to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, it was constructed by John and Matilda Campbell and is one of the few houses from the 19th century remaining in the town of Okahumpka. The building and its surrounding agricultural acreage are the last remaining significant evidence of the community's development in the 1880s.
The Okahumpka service plaza is pretty, too:
I stopped there early in today's ride, so it fortified me to go the rest of the way, on into Lake County. My partner, who is also exercising by walking around the house, is very happy that I've taken a rest stop at Okahumpka and Uncle Whizzy.
(Vintage postcard)
My progress after Day 4 — 13.5 miles traveled in 62 minutes for a four-day total of 53 miles, leaving 45 more miles to get to Jane's — I'm past my halfway point!
Update: Chris, Denise, and I are figuring out a system for pooling all our miles and minutes together, to give us one big collective road trip! Stay tuned!
And check out this awesome video by Chris — who looks great! 😀
On a related note — I have also just crossed the 1500-mile mark of pedaling since September 1, 2012, in my Virtual Ride Around The Equator. I wrote about that ride here. Chris's comment on that entry is what got our whole VRide started! Thanks, Chris! 😀

"We honestly don't get into that much trouble," says Tiffany Minton, the drummer of Nashville garage-rock band Heavy Cream. "We've had our dark streaks, but now we're all just basically fun-loving gals."
The four-piece's sophomore album, "Super Treatment," gives the exact opposite impression. The 11 new songs are overblown, blistering and thrashing, and Heavy Cream sounds like a band that wakes up each morning covered in bloody scars and gnarly scabs. Lead singer Jessica McFarland growls like Joan Jett during her Runaways years, and Mimi Galbierz's fuzzed-out guitar buzzes and grinds like a million chainsaws running amok.
The band sounds so massive and bellicose that even Minton was shocked the first time she heard the album. It was recorded and mixed during five quick days spent in San Francisco's Bauer Mansion studio with the musician Ty Segall, who is one of the leading visionaries of the current garage-rock revival. Segall handed them the tape just before Heavy Cream hopped on a Nashville-bound plane.
"We were all like, 'Wow, this is really loud and intense,'" says Minton. "Mimi's riffs and fuzz pedal make it sound so hard! I mean, we all just really blew it out!"
"Super Treatment" was released May 8 on Infinity Cat, the independent label run by rock band Jeff The Brotherhood. A few days later, Heavy Cream celebrated the release with a live concert and crawfish boil at a local, all-ages venue/warehouse called the Zombie Shop with fellow Nashvilleans Cheap Time and Fox Fun.
"It was a night of good friends, good food, good beer, and good bands," says Minton. "It was a great hang."
In the past few years, Nashville has become a hotbed for garage-rock music. Labels like Infinity Cat and Jack White's Third Man, and studios such as Battle Tapes have been diligently documenting the now-thriving scene, which rose up from D.I.Y. house and warehouse shows across the city. But when Minton moved there 10 years ago to study music business at Belmont University, she says it was a completely different place.
"I came to Nashville thinking I would be in the business, but I quickly realized that the mainstream music industry here sucks," she says. "It's soul-sucking, and it's a waste of time, so I just joined a punk-rock band instead. I didn't want to be pushing paper for some major label forever. And it turns out I wasn't the only person to think this way."
At the time, however, Minton noticed that Nashville lacked underground venues, and this was stifling the scene. Minton and other likeminded musicians also had to wrestle with Nashville's deeply entrenched music traditions, which, for decades, have centered around mainstream country and pop music.
"But house shows started popping up and becoming more frequent about five years ago," says Minton, "and more touring bands started coming through because new venues started opening. Now there's a collective rock culture happening here, and Nashville has a thriving underground music scene."

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were friends before they became lovers but, according to a new report, an unbreakable rule in his dating book says the woman shouldn't gain weight (even if it's for work) or consistently not wear makeup.
Consequently, because Mila broke it, he wants to dump her, says Star Magazine in its latest print issue (story via CB).
The report comes hot on the heels of a batch of paparazzi shots of a makeup-free Mila out running errands, looking tired and not her usual glamorous self.
You can see one of those pics attached to this article: she's "frumpy" but she's not less pretty for it.
Ashton disagrees, according to unnamed insiders talking to Star.
"When they started dating, he thought Mila was one of the hottest girls in the world. But in the eight months or so they've been together, she's totally let herself go," one tipster says.
"When Ashton broke up with wife Demi Moore, he was ready to have a relationship with a low maintenance girl, but now he's saying Mila is TOO low maintenance. Demi may have been crazy, but she always made sure to look good for Ashton, whereas Mila acts like she couldn't care less," says the (quite rude) spy.
Admittedly, Kutcher hates a lot of things about Mila these days, from the fact that she can't be bothered to put on makeup or do her hair, to having to gain weight for a movie role.
Star even goes to the extremes and claims the petite actress is now 50 pounds (22.6 kg) heavier than she was last year. Mila was the first to admit she gained weight, but that figure clearly betrays a very active imagination.
Moreover, the tab says, on Christmas, Ashton tried to make Mila get the message by offering her a makeover package estimated at $250,000 (€189,623).
She turned it down.
"She told Ashton if he wanted a fake, plastic girl, he should have stayed with Demi. That's when he snapped and told her, 'You're worse than Demi!'" another source says.
Of course, the above report coming from Star and its unnamed sources, it's best taken with a grain of salt.

HI there
I just received my first e magazine from you and really enjoyed the whole process of reading it.
It was very simple to install, no problems at all.
Being able to see videos, close ups of works, made the techniques very accessible and gave me a real feel for the artist and their work that a print issue can't seem to convey.
I won't give up my print magazines, but I can add a new dimension now.
Thanks for a great product.
Carrole in cold Canada
I just downloaded the newest issue of IN STITCHES and it took forever since I use broadband (can't get DSL where I live!). I just finished giving it a quick look and there is lots of interesting info and wonderful close-ups of some of the gorgeous work! I will watch the videos soon, but it is late here so that may be tomorrow. One and only one negative comment - why does there have to be any advertising within this one magazine? It would seem that it is an offshoot of all the other publications (QA and CPS) and these pubs are well recognized and subscribed to by most of us who would be downloading the eZine. Those are a few pages that could have had more articles for those willing to pay the purchase price. Just my thoughts . . . But the eZine is fantastic anyway, regardless of the intrusive ads. Thanks for listening!
Can you tell me if there is an ipad version, or plans for it to be available on the ipad?
I was wondering too! Will there be a way to download it to my NOOK? maybe a NOOK COLOR version? Thanks
Within 3-4 months we expect single issues should be available on the ipad, new Nook, and other similar (non-e-ink) tablet devices. I have not heard the timeframe for when the eMags will be available, but I will be sure to post when I find out.
Sally MurrayInterweave - Quilt/Paper GroupSudbury Office Manager
My Ipad is being delivered today so I to am interested in the I pad versions . But my biggest question deals with what is this e magazine? Is it a periodical? is it a one time thing? will this e magazine issue (2) be still down-loadable when you are Ipad compatible?
I have to sit at my PC enough as it is and reading on it is not as easy as a paper copy but I travel a lot and I am hoping that the Ipad will keep my eyes off the road as my husband is driving and thus making our trips more enjoyable. I find reading on his Ipad much easier but I don't dare down load a bunch of magazines on it so I ordered my own.
Thank you for your time and consideration

04 F250, Low power, LOUD fuel pump whine, wont rev
long story short, i drove the truck to the gas station monday morning to get gas for the lawn mower, everything was fine.
headed to work that night after stopping at the gas station (i leave it running when i go in, its barely a minute from my house). went to pull out in the road and ran it a little harder than normal driving (not wide open, but enough that it will shift at 3,000rpms.) when it hit about 3000, it stopped like i was holding the brake and throttle at the same time. i let off and it shifted, then i rolled into it again. this time 2500rpms and it stops there. wouldnt go any higher. drove to work (interstate) and cruised just fine at 65. got off the interstate and put it to the floor. boost spiked around normal (20ish psi) and then it hit the wall again, 3000rpms, with boost dropping to 13-14psi.
SCT said ICP was fluctuating between 580-590 at idle, with a spike in the high 3000psi range before it hit the 3000RPM mark, and the ICP reading would slowly decrease with the RPMS, not like an immediate drop. i stopped at a redlight and hit wide open throttle from a standstill. ICP spiked around 4100PSI (Livewire keeps highest reading listed until that is surpassed by a higher reading) and stayed in the high 3000's, but as soon as it hit 2500RPM's it stopped accelerating and bogged down. fuel pump under the cab seems unusually loud, but ive also been wondering if the ICP sensor isnt going in the crapper.
current setup-
XDP EGR Delete with EGR valve blockoff plate.
4in straight pipe
SCT Livewire w/ 65hp tow tune
BPD oil cooler relocation kit
Rotella T6 5W-40 (about 3K miles on this oil change, still looks clean as the day i changed it)
FICM replaced late December 2012
just changed fuel filters about 300 miles ago.
forgot to add that during this WOT and no power, the transmission WILL NOT shift until i let off. limp mode? no codes/check engine light present.

also, the truck does not smoke, it starts fine and idles fine.
High Pressure Oil leak or failing High Pressure Oil Pump. Check and make sure your discharge tube doesnt look like this:
You'll see on the bend of the tube where it was rubbing the HPOP cover.
If your tube doesnt have the wear marks from rubbing, its most likely the HPOP, I had the exact same problems in my 03. Its a possibility the IPR is failing, but I'm suspecting a weak failing pump.
Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but the truck does have 163k on it. When I had the turbo out, the valley looked like it hadn't been touch except for the BPD oil cooler relocation kit. It's just so odd that the ICP reading is normal until I get to 3000rpms. If I keep letting off and making it do it multiple times, it won't rev over 2000rpms after about the 3rd time. If I just hold it to the floor, its like you held it wide open and turned the ignition off. It just slowly loses RPMS and the ICP hovers between 750-770.
At least it's an easy job, although expensive.
definitely check your fuel pressure. A whining pump is textbook for failure.
After that I'd be suspecting a HPOP, seen the swash pumps do some weird things when they go out. Lack of power from low ICP is one of them
It seems that the truck is cutting the ICP down like its in limp. Still no codes. Fuel pump is extremely loud. On my way to work tonight it got slightly worse. Injectors were noisy like it was running out of fuel. Started loping pretty hard at idle. Free revd the truck in park and it cleared up, like the pump had time to catch up. Since the factory pump is close to the price of say an Airdog or other aftermarket replacements, what would be a good suggestion?
forgot to mention that after finally making it to work, the fuel pump was EXTEMELY loud. i could hear it in the cab with the truck running at idle. after sitting all night, i went to start it, and when the pump kicked in, it was quiet for a second or two, then started whining LOUDLY.
no hard start or long starts, even when i shut it down and restart it immediately at operating temp. ive got to find me a gauge and check the fuel pressure. the pump just sounds horrible.

Little update for tonight -
Removed plug for test port and couldn't find a fitting here at work, so I drained the HFCM and tried there. No luck.
Well I unplugged the ICP sensor and test drove it. Truck ran better than earlier and would rev past 3000rpms again. Ran great.
Plugged it back in and it started acting up again. Looks like I need an ICP sensor.
scratch that, tried to drive it home with ICP sensor unplugged. started acting up again. i still think its fuel related. when it starts acting up, the Injectors get extremely loud, like they are running dry. strangely enough, i drained the HFCM and it ran great for a short time. i think im in need of a pump. when i started it to drive home, i could hear the pump in the cab, doors and windows shut, and the truck running.
FASS or AirDog? may as well bite the bullet and upgrade.
heres why i think its the pump - video from this morning

You maybe on the right track, its definitely noisy. Normal fuel pressure without the blue spring upgrade should be around 45psi, with the blue spring upgrade is will be around 65 psi.
The truck is gonna sit until I get off work Saturday morning. Luckily I've got my old E30 to drive. I'm gonna test the fuel pressure then. Guys at Thoroughbred Diesel said its pretty rare for the pumps to fail and also suggested testing the pressure (at least he didn't sell me a pump without asking a lot of questions first. Nice guy), but I can't see those noises being good. Towards the end of the video you can hear the pump making a pulsing sound. If only you could hear it in person. The video doesn't capture it as well.

What is the fuel level in the tank during all this? You may have a pickup issue.allowing air to be sucked in.

Elliott Carr, the Bank's President and CEO since 1982, announced his retirement last year, but will remain as board chairman during the transition.
Savarese served as one of the bank's senior vice presidents and the chief operating officer. She joined Cape Cod Five in 1993.
Her nomination for president came after an extensive search both within and outside of the institution. She is the first woman to be named president in the bank's 150-year history. Interestingly, the bank offered the same position to a long-time employee, Ida Taylor, in 1952. She declined.

Last night on CNN, Gloria Borger reminded viewers that "nobody today is talking about tax increases except Barack Obama." Republicans in the House and Senate, who have stood firm against job-crushing tax hikes, have made it clear that any debt limit hike that contains tax increases is a non-starter. See Gloria Borger's remarks, which followed what Norah O'Donnell called President Obama's "political message" last night, below:
Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post, commenting on the President's speech last night, noted that:
"The speech itself was part panic attack, part platitudes and a whole lot of class warfare (corporate jets! hedge fund managers!). He stood awkwardly at the East Room podium, minus any press corps. He began with a ponderous recap of the budget train wreck, and then described his grand bargain (light on the details, because, of course, he never put a concrete plan out there). He ridiculed the Republican plan, saying it didn't ask for sacrifices from the rich. But wait, Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) doesn't have taxes in his plan. In fact, his whole plan was an indictment of Reid's no-tax plan. Apparently, he assumed no one was keeping up with current developments....
"It was a speech entirely divorced from reality. The Senate Democrats can't pass tax hikes. The grand bargain can't get through the Congress with jumbo tax hikes. It is he who rejected a deal that had the agreeement [sic] of House and Senate leaders. You have to wonder why he set the bar so high. He'll face the flood of 'President Capitulates!' headlines when it doesn't come about. But the answer lies in the sole and consuming passion of this White House: reelection. Hence, the class warfare and the excuse-mongering."
As Speaker Boehner said last night, "The solution to this crisis is not complicated: If you're spending more money than you're taking in, you need to spend less of it."

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Two men were charged in connection with the vandalism at Saguaro National Park.
Officials with the park tell KGUN9 that Beau Campbell and Colton Salazar were charged with violations of Title 36 of the Code of Federal Regulations in response to the vandalism at the park on May 23.
Both men have to appear in Federal court and the park is also asking they pay the cost of restoring the damaged resources.
According to park rangers, the two hacked a handful of cacti in half, including a single saguaro.
Officials released several photos Monday of the two men who did come forward and cooperated with the investigation.
The hacking happened about 1/2 mile up the Douglas Springs Trail at Saguaro National Park East.
Saguaro National Park spokeswoman, Andy Fisher tells 9OYS it is doubtful the cacti will survive because they were also knocked over.
It is the same spot vandals spray-painted several saguaros a few weeks back.
"Stay out of the park. To come in and deface the park, there are cacti that have been here long before this was a state and there's no point in it," Rex Baucher, who bikes the park regularly, told 9OYS.
"The saguaro cactus, which is our trademark [and] our landmark. When you destroy a saguaro cactus you are in effect destroying everyone is Tucson. So, it's reprehensible to say the least," another avid biker added.
Tucson City Council Member Steve Kozachik is also chiming in.
"These guys make me madder than hell. What you do with these guys is you catch them and then you throw the full force of the law at them. You make an example out of them so maybe you stop it for the next guys," Kozachik said.

Who goes to Wentworth?Parents choose to give their children a Wentworth education for many different reasons, but they all come with the same expectations in mind. Families come to WMA because they are looking for a safe, proven school that can support them in helping their child to prosper and that is just what you can expect from a Wentworth education. We understand that you want something that other public and private schools don't offer, a school and people whose goal is to inspire and motivate your child to become a proud, independent, successful adult.
There is an overwhelming sense of pride and fellowship that comes with being part of the Wentworth Corps of Cadets for both parents and their child that can only be experienced when you see your child marching in formation onto the parade field in their Dress Blues, saluting their senior officers, celebrating a touchdown with cannons firing, and crossing the stage at graduation having achieved more than either of you ever thought was possible.

What is the importance of earning your Associate's (Arts or Science) degree at the completion of high school?For gifted students who need greater academic challenge, an accelerated academic program provides the academic challenge to keep their talents focused on academic achievement. Additionally, it allows capable students who are pursuing careers in medicine, engineering, business, and others, an opportunity to complete their undergraduate education at a faster pace in order to pursue post-graduate studies and/or enter the workforce sooner.
What does having an Associate's Degree at the completion of high school do for you?Capable students can complete their undergraduate studies quicker to pursue further education or their professional careers. Additionally, since these college credits are built in our total cost off attendance this will provide for significant savings in the cost of undergraduate education.
If a high school junior or senior is taking college courses, will the college course be watered down?Absolutely not! In fact, Wentworth's College has been continuously accredited for 75 years and has received numerous national awards and recognition for the quality of their curriculum. A high school student MUST demonstrate by GPA, documented coursework, and class standing that they are capable for college level academics. Each student approved for college coursework must be approved by both the high school principal and the college provost, and are monitored very carefully to ensure he or she has not taken coursework beyond his/her capability.
What is the difference between Dual Enrollment (credit) and Advanced Placement (AP) courses?Dual Enrollment (DE) credit is completed college coursework that a student earns by successfully meeting college level expectations for a particular class. The student is given a college transcript, which can be transferred to any college in the nation. Wentworth College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. Advanced Placement (AP) credits are "honors" level classes that a student takes in his or her high school. Based on his/her grades, a student will receive a score between 1 and 5, along with a letter grade. The most significant difference between DE and AP is the acceptance of AP credit is subject entirely to the whim of each individual college or university, based on a vast array of standards that differ from college to college. DE credit is a college transcript with college credits that is accepted at face value by a college or university. Where an AP credit may not be acceptable, a DE credit is college credit and acceptability is not a question.
Are the credits transferable?As a result of Wentworth's accreditation, all high school and college credits are transferable.
How does the military part of the school work?Think of Wentworth as a college preparatory academy and college campus with a military style structure. Students are called "cadets" and organized into military styled groups for the purpose of team building, leadership development, accountability, and uniformity. Wentworth Cadets, unless under voluntary ROTC contract in the college, do not have any obligation to the armed forces.
What percentage of students goes into the military?Historically, 3% of high school students pursue military careers.

How many girls are there?Historically, girls make up 30% of the cadet population. Wentworth has been a Co-educations Academy since 1994.
Are they in the same company as boys?In all facets of Wentworth life, girls participate alongside boys, with the exception of their living arrangement. Their company, Tango Company, is very competitive with the other companies. A campus wide award for Academic Excellence is usually held by Tango cadets. Female members of our Military Band are in Headquarters Company, headquarters females still live on the Tango Company floor.
Do they live in the same dorm?Girls live in a separate floor of a dorm and have an assistant commandant who lives on the floor with them. Wentworth has very strict policies pertaining to the living arrangement and acceptable interaction between boys and girls.

Submission Bill Gates Schooled In Chess, Beaten By 23 Year Old Grandmaster In 71 Seconds->
MojoKid writes: There's no disputing that Bill Gates is blessed with a brilliant mind. Sure, he dropped out of Harvard College, but he got accepted into the elite institution of higher learningin the first place. Leading into his college career, Gates scored 1,590 out of 1,600 on the SAT. The rest is history — he went on to co-found Microsoft, built a net worth that's in the billions ($76.8 billion at last count), and now spends his time on his philanthropic efforts. Regardless, it took 23-year-old Magnus Carlsen, a "grandmaster" Chess player since the age of 13 and new world Chess champion, just 71 seconds to defeat Gates in a friendly game of Chess on a Norwegian television show. It takes longer to heat up a cup of water in the microwave.
