2001 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 Replace the Brakes
From WikituneUp - The Free Service Manual
The Chevy Silverado Z71 pickup is an off-road sports package that increases the suspension characteristics of the truck. The truck contains 4-wheel disc brakes, a consequence of the truck being designed to haul heavy loads. The rear wheels also have drum brakes, which are used strictly as a parking brake. The disc brakes need to be changed periodically over the lifespan of the truck, while the drum brakes should never need changing.
Tools Used[edit]
|Tire iron
|Floor jack
|Jack stands
|Wrench and socket set
|Long-neck flat-headed screwdriver
|Wooden block
|Steel wool
|Graphite lubricant
|Paper towels
|New brake pads
Replace the Brakes[edit]
- Park the pickup on a solid, level surface.
- Use the tire iron to loosen the lug nuts on the tires covering the brakes that need to be changed. You must change the brakes on the right and left sides at the same time, though the front and rear brakes do not always need to be changed at the same time.
- Place the floor jack under the end of the vehicle where the brakes need to be changed and jack up the vehicle far enough to get the tires off the ground.
- Place the jack stands under the frame adjacent to the wheel wells. If you are changing the rear brakes, the jack stands can be placed under the rear axle, just inside from the tires and not in contact with any wires or suspension pieces.
- Lower the truck onto the jack stands.
- Use the tire iron to further remove the lug nuts for each elevated tire.
- Remove each tire.
Removing the Brakes
- Loosen the top set of bolts (those farthest from the axle) on the back of the disc brake assembly. These "bolts" are actually the caliper pins.
- Remove the lower set of bolts (closer to the axle), which holds the brake assembly in place.
- Use the screwdriver to pry off the brake assembly if it does not fall off when the bolts are removed.
- Remove the caliper pins fully from the brake assembly.
- Separate the brake caliper from the rest of the assembly and place a wooden block over the caliper piston.
- Hook the C-clamp over the wooden block and the brake caliper. Tighten the clamp until the brake piston is compressed in the housing and only about 1/8-inch is exposed.
- Remove the brake pads from the brake assembly.
- Use steel wool to clean off any corrosion, particularly in the brake pad tracks.
- Place a little bit of graphite lubricant in the brake pad tracks.
- Smear around the lubricant until it forms a thin coating in the tracks. Use paper towels to remove any excess lubricant.
- Place the new brake pads in the brake pad tracks on the assembly so that the pads are facing inwards.
- Fit the brake assembly over the brake rotor and insert the bolts to hold it in place. There should be one brake pad on each side of the rotor with the pad setting flat against the rotor.
- Remove the C-clamp and wooden block from the brake caliper and then immediately place the caliper over the brake assembly.
- Insert the caliper pins.
- Tighten the assembly bolts, then the caliper pins, until they cannot be tightened any more.
Completing the Repair
- Repeat the changing procedure for the other brakes.
- Replace the tire and screw on the lug nuts.
- Tighten the lug nuts as much as possible.
- Jack up the truck and remove the jack stands. Lower the truck to the ground.
- Tighten the lug nuts on each removed tire again.

Dazzling in a sparkling Canadian-red gown, Ruth Ann Onley belted out the last lines of the ode to Canada written lovingly by her husband, Ontario Lieutenant-Governor David Onley, to a packed stadium at a First World War 100th anniversary celebration Thursday.
Many audience members at University of Toronto's Varsity Stadium leapt to their feet as she ended her performance alongside the Canadian Children's Opera Co., part of In Memoriam, a U of T multimedia event to mark the anniversary.
It was just Ms. Onley's fourth public performance of We Are the People of the Maple Leaf, a salute to Canada's military history the Onleys hope will be sung by generations of Canadians to come.
The lyrics declare: "We are the people of the Maple Leaf. Proud to defend our home in war and peace; Guardians of land, of tree, of sky and sea; We are the people of the Maple Leaf."
The ceremony also included performances by the Massed Band of the Canadian Armed Forces and speeches by University of Oxford professor Margaret MacMillan and General Thomas Lawson, chief of the defence staff.
"We often talked about how there's a lack of patriotic songs in Canada," Mr. Onley said hours before the event in his suite at Queen's Park. "I hope [Canadians] come away with a sense of pride and a sense of inspiration about the country" after hearing the song, he said.
Mr. Onley will be stepping down as lieutenant-governor on Sept. 23, when the job passes to Elizabeth Dowdeswell.
The lyrics of his song are set to the tune of Highland Cathedral, a well-known Scottish composition the Onleys first heard performed by bagpipers at a 2011 Opening of the Courts ceremony, an annual fall ceremony marking the opening of judicial courts.
"We were both practically moved to tears," Mr. Onley said. "I turned to Ruth and I said, 'That is so patriotic, that music.'"
When he was unable to find lyrics to the enchanting melody, aside from rugby chants invented in Scottish bars, Mr. Onley began composing his own lyrics to honour Canada.
Several months later, the song was ready, with Ms. Onley, a professional singer, always the intended vocalist.
It begins commemorating Canada's indigenous populations, the "original people of the Maple Leaf," according to Mr. Onley, before saluting early settlers and then Canadian troops who have fought in several wars such as the War of 1812, the First and Second World Wars and the war in Afghanistan.
"Our parents, who fought in World War Two, won't talk much because it's such a sad, tragic, difficult thing," Ms. Onley said. "It was that whole focus though, more on the military and the serving and giving for your country and dying for your country, is what we took out of it."
The song has been evolving since then, and the couple enlisted one of their favourite composers, Robert Carli, who worked on the music for TV's Murdoch Mysteries, to compose music for the tune with a symphony orchestra rather than bagpipes and record it at CBC studios in front of an audience.
"Every time that Ruth has performed it, there's been a standing ovation," Mr. Onley said. "That really anchored it in our minds that we were really onto something."
He and his wife obtained rights for the Highland Cathedral tune from Universal Music and are negotiating with a record company to release a shorter version of the song, with more of a cultural than military focus.
"I could hear it out in a hockey arena," Ms. Onley said. "I think it's just that line, 'We are the people of the Maple Leaf.' I think it just rings."Report Typo/Error

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
Being "sun smart" should be a habit that starts in childhood and becomes as second nature as putting on a seatbelt every time you get in the car. That's the hope of Cancer Council Australia.
In day care centres and primary schools around the country, kids are adopting sun safe practices like wearing sun hats and sunscreen. In fact, since Cancer Council Australia launched the national SunSmart Schools program in 1998, more than 2500 schools and 3500 childcare centres have joined.
Evidence points to childhood exposure to UV radiation significantly contributing to the development of skin cancer in adult life. Teaching school children about reducing their sun exposure is expected to have a major impact on the future incidence of skin cancer.
Kids are still getting sunburnt on weekends and holidays, says Chair of Cancer Council Australia's National Skin Cancer Committee, Terry Slevin. "Schools are teaching kids to protect themselves from the sun but it's up to parents to reinforce this behaviour at home," he says.
And that's not just by constantly reminding kids to wear a hat and sunscreen but to model sun smart behaviours themselves and to talk to their children about why they'll be healthier if they protect themselves from the sun.
"Teach kids that sunburn is a sign that the skin has been damaged," says Slevin. "Tell them that to keep healthy and comfortable - today, and as we grow up - we need to be sun smart. Just like we need to eat fruit and vegetables."
Knowing the UV Index in your region can help you know when to use sun smart behaviours and what times of the day it's best to stay out of the sun. There are even UV mobile phone apps that can be downloaded which provide real-time measurements of local UV indices.
The UV Index indicates the amount of the sun's UV radiation that reaches the earth's surface. The higher the UV Index level, the greater the potential for damage to your skin.
Use sunscreen and other measures to protect from UV rays when the index is 3 and above. In some parts of Australia (i.e. central and northern regions) the index can be over 3 all year-round. But in Victoria, for example, the, average UV Index levels are 3 and above from the beginning of September until the end of April.

The distinctive new double-cutaway guitar--now simply known as the SG--was an overnight success, and became a major rock and blues icon by the late '60s. > More

Mississippi Queen's December 5, 2005 through February 26, 2006 departures have been canceled; the ship will resume service with the March 4, 2006 departure. Delta Queen's November 28, 2005 through December 28, 2006 departures have been canceled. Delta Queen will resume service with the March 3, 2006 departure. In a statement, the company says it is "working with various government authorities to make not only the American Queen but the Delta Queen and the Mississippi Queen available from December thru February in the overall relief efforts for the Gulf Coast region, especially greater New Orleans."
Guests booked on the canceled sailings will automatically receive a full refund, which can be expected within 60 days. Those who wish to rebook may choose any of Delta Queen's 2006 sailings at 2005 rates; passengers who rebook will also be given a $100 per-person shipboard credit. More information about this option can be obtained by calling 800-543-1949.
Late fall voyages have not been canceled, but will be altered, in most cases swapping Memphis in for New Orleans. Changes are as follows:
Delta Queen
November 3: This voyage will now end in Memphis instead of New Orleans; calls in Marietta, Henderson, Cincinnati, Cave in Rock and New Madrid replace visits to Natchez and Baton Rouge.
November 15: This voyage will now begin and end in Memphis with stops in Natchez, Vicksburg and Helena.
November 21: This voyage will now begin and end in Memphis with stops in Vicksburg and Helena, and a special two-day overnight stop in Natchez, Mississippi.
Mississippi Queen
November 7: This voyage will now end in Chattanooga instead of New Orleans with calls in Cape Girardeau, Savannah, Paducah, Florence and Decatur.
November 14: This voyage will now operate from Chattanooga to Nashville with calls in Decatur, Savannah, Paducah and Dover.
November 21: This voyage will now operate from nasville to Memphis with calls in Dover, Cave in Rock, Paducah and New Madrid.
November 28: This voyage will now operate from Memphis to Memphis with calls in Vicksburg and Helena, and a special two-day overnight stop in Natchez, Mississippi.
Guests booked on altered sailings will receive assistance from the reservations department in changing air travel to accommodate new arrival/departure cities.
Many employees of the New Orleans-based cruise line (the company has relocated its offices to Buffalo, New York) lost their homes, according to parent company Delaware North. Delaware North has established the Delaware North Companies Hurricane Katrina Associate Relief Effort, Inc. (KARE) to provide relief to associates in need. Contributions can be made online here. Passengers who wish to contribute all or part of the refund of their canceled cruise to this cause may do so by e-mailing their name and phone number to email@example.com, or by calling 800-543-1949.

BILBAO, SPAIN – They were expected to be in Barcelona. They hope to finish their trip in Madrid.
First, they had to take care of Bilbao.
The Americans wrapped up the No. 1 seed in their group Wednesday, improving to 4-0 at the FIBA World Cup with a 106-71 victory over the Dominican Republic.
Kenneth Faried, whose shooting percentage dropped after he missed three shots, scored 16 points for the U.S. DeMarcus Cousins came off the bench and added 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting.
The Americans will finish Group C play in Bilbao on Thursday against Ukraine — when U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski will coach against longtime friend and former NBA coach Mike Fratello — before playing their round of 16 game Saturday night in Barcelona against the fourth-place team from Group D, which is still to be determined.
A few wins there and they would play for gold in Madrid, but nobody is looking ahead.
"Obviously we have to take care of here. Nothing's given," forward Rudy Gay said. "We've worked hard, we've been tested and we've overcome that, and also got some pretty big wins."
The Americans surpassed 100 points for the second time in the tournament — and they were "held" to 98 points in their other two games. Even after having to overcome a halftime deficit in one game, they came in averaging a tournament-best 103.3 points and were winning by 35.7 per game.
All 12 players scored, and the ones who weren't in the game were up cheering when back-of-the-bench centers Mason Plumlee and Andre Drummond hooked up on an alley-oop in the final minutes.
"I believe everybody felt pretty good about how they played tonight," Cousins said.
Faried made 8 of 11 shots, a 73-percent clip that actually lowered his percentage for the tournament to 78.4 percent after the Denver forward came into the game hitting 81 percent.
Victor Liz scored 15 points for the Dominican Republic (2-2), which will face Turkey on Thursday, still in position to advance.
In Granada, Ricky Rubio's quick hands set the tone and Marc Gasol had a game-high 17 points as Spain beat France 88-64 to remain undefeated.
Rubio had five assists, three steals and two drives down the lane for layups in the first quarter in his 100th appearance for the national team, with the Minnesota Timberwolves point guard looking eager to atone for Spain's loss to France at last year's European Championship.
Marc Gasol scored 17 points for Spain in the victory, while his brother Pau had 15.
Spain (4-0) returns to the raucous Palacio de Deportes to play Serbia (2-2) on Thursday, when France (2-2) faces Egypt (0-4) to close Group A.
In other action, Marquinhos Vieira made six 3-pointers in a 81-73 win for Brazil (3-1) after it weathered Serbia's explosive third quarter, when it erased an 18-point deficit.

With Twilight mania subsiding, ratings for the MTV Movie Awards are going down too. Last night's 2012 MTV Movie Awards delivered a 2.8 rating in persons 12-34 and 3.2 million total viewers. That is down 28% in 12-34 from last year. Immediately following the awards show, the Season 2 premiere of Teen Wolf drew 2.1 million viewers and a 2.0 rating in 12-34, down 5% in the demo from the series premiere that aired after the MTV Movie Awards last year. That wasn't bad considering the show's far weaker lead-in this year but the series received an even better news today when its second season landed the second biggest California production tax credit, $10.5 million, improving significantly its bottom line.
MTV Movie Awards Down From Last Year
32 Comments
Maybe fans are growing apathetic, because the same BIG movies win every year. Twilight and Harry Potter may be phasing out, but Hunger Games is on it's way in for the next few years. It's all too predictable.
It was a fun show but it was against GoT's finale, basketball etc, which took a lot of the air out of the night.
This "awards" show is a complete joke. It was very boring with lame music and the best movies didn't even get nominated for best movie. Time for them to retool the show with nominees that actually deserve it.
I must be getting old, because last night felt more like the Nickelodeon Awards to me.
If you were really getting old you never would have watched it, or remembered that it was even on.
or like me so old I cant even remember the last decade I watched it
you're not getting old – but the show sure was – it was just stale & rigid, because everything was completely rehearsed and kept in line without ever straying near the deep end. felt very much like a corporate commercial – gasp.
Not enough cats with lasers. Russel Brand was good though.
Four things needed to fix the MMAs:
1. A-List host. Past few years have been B or C list comedian.
2. More and better parodies, which use to be why people tuned in.
3. Take itself less seriously. Needs the vibe of Jim Carrey dressing as a hippie again with a set that looked like it was from an alien movie.
4. Because of the Twilight/Potter/Games crazes, make nearly all the categories voted on by a panel. Have the viewers vote for some, along with a Viewers' Choice Movie category like the VMAs used to have.
Agree with all of this, except that all of these point to MTV trying to spend less and less on this show every year. Also, last year with Sudeikis was pretty funny, not sure who would qualify as an A-list host. Galifianakis? Ben Stiller? Adam Sandler? Conan?
The panel voting with a mix of viewers choice would be a welcome change.
That's because MTV is irrelevant!!!
Well with the way the awards are voted on by fans, this show has really become no different than the insipid Teen Choice Awards. The winners are never anyone interesting or even deserving, it's just a battle of whose fanbase has more spare time to sit at home and vote.
Not to mention, when the only people who show up are the winners, so it takes away any shred of suspense the show might have had.
I'm 30, and I remember when the MTV movie awards used to be a LOT of fun. The categories were fun and didn't take themselves too seriously, the music acts were truly great, and the actors were all there to have a good time.
Now it's just product, product, product. MTV is shilling their shows, the talent is there shilling whatever, and the "awards" seem to be bought and sold by whichever franchise is aiming for tweeners at this point in time.
It's boring, boring, boring and this is affecting the VMA's too. For my money the BET Awards are the best show around. Talent who *want* to be there, great musical performances, and at least one or two moments every year that are truly buzz worthy.
It's funny how they started out as an afterthought and are now consistently outperforming these other cable shows in viewers and execution.
Maybe because They are tired of see the same movie win every time.
The only good things about that award was Johnny Depp and Magic Mike Men getting handle by Elizabeth banks.
It's because they cheated Twilight fans.
1. Let's be honest. Most posters here aren't in the MTV demo.
2. With that said, maybe there's some merit to a lot of the comments made.
3. Kids ain't stupid. (As much as we "older" posters like to think.)
Regarding #3, if you give younger viewers something that doesn't feel "beneath" them, they'll follow and contribute in droves.
(They're smarter than we give them credit for.)
I remember when MTV showed videos 24 hours a day. Now they have Snooki and teen moms.
Fresh take.
LOL. The unbiased press. Many Twilight fans pulled back from the show when MTV (who chose the nominees this year unlike previously) intentionally excluded Twilight from the many of the categories in an effort to push The Hunger Games (where were those fans with 8 nominations and the surrounding hype?). The rules were changed this year to limit the certain fan participation, fans who, over the years, gave the show a boost when it needed it. Many fans chose not to watch. MTV made several attempts to repair the damage after the extremely negative backlash that occurred, They forgot these were fan awards not the academy awards.
I´m so agree with you!!!
Twilight fans boycotted the Mtv movie awards because they took them out of all but 2 nominations. MTV did it so that twilight wouldn't win it all and so that it could "appeal to a wider audience." As you can see they lost 1.3 million followers, not a smart idea.
Remember last winter with the MTV Movie Brawl? Cosmopolis got 4 million of the 6 million votes? WTF? Ignore the Rob fandon and pay the price.
Haha, as if the MTV Movie Awards were anything other than a giant commercial. At least other awards shows pretend they're not; MTV doesn't even try.
what is this "mtv" you speak of?
Russell Brand's a bum and is not funny.
I think the last time i watched was when the "phone" from CAPE FEAR won for best inanimate object.
that was funny
But aren't THG fans supposed to replace the Twilight fans? The Twilight fans were cheated when MTV shut out Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart from the actors categories so that fans couldn't vote for them, some Twilight fans didn't watch the show because of that, so MTV paid the price, it serves them right. They nominated meathead Channing Tatum instead of Rob, LOL!
This year they wanted to take themselves too seriously and got some committee for the nominations instead of having the fans nominate. LOL!
Pattinson announcing upfront he wasn't going to be there really hurt too, IMO, that seems kind of like one obvious difference. I missed his presence there but it also meant I didn't have to sit through the whole show for once. I am surprised though that rotating through a lot of actors and movies this time didn't add much excitement. They even trotted out Christopher Nolan and Johhny Depp and The Hunger Game stars are nice but not as interesting to watch away from the film. I think it's the unexpected crazy stuff that makes MTV different and there wasn't much of that. It seemed too much like the Spike awards with all the same people a day or two later.
In spite of this, there will still be thousands of people whining during the Oscars that they should nominate more populist films like Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games.
The crash in ratings was hardly because of a decline in Twilight fans' interest–it was because they knew Rob Pattinson wasn't going to appear. HG certainly didn't bring in viewers, now did it?
If there's no Bieber or Twilight involved I refuse to watch on principle, it's called good taste!
The MTV movie awards used to be so fun to watch and I always looked forward to them. But since it started going live and got different producers. They have turned into the Teen Choice Awards.. Same shit winning every year. The spoofs are lame and nothing like before. The nomination segments last like 2 seconds. It's all very forced and rushed and seems like one giant commercial. It's like you have to be 13 to enjoy it. I haven't watched since 2010 and never will watch this lame ass teeny bopper shit fest again.

Creamy Tomato Soup (Vita Mix)
READY IN: 5mins
Recipe by Canuck Mum
Easy soup made in the Vita-Mix
Top Review by joychalker
I omitted the raisins and added 1 T. of tortilla soup spice blend seasoning and 1/2 onion. I used raw cashews, soaked while preparing other ingredients. This was so good, fast and easy. I used about 4-5 Cups tomatoes, and 2-3 Cups of water so I guess I did change it! I have lots of tomatoes in my garden! This is a great soup that is so healthy for you.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 medium tomatoes, halved and seeded (but not very thoroughly seeded)
- 1 small red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed
- 1 celery rib
- 13 almonds, soaked overnight and drained (cashews might be a good sub)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons seedless raisins (or dates)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil (or 2 Tbsp fresh)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt, the celery alone probably has enough saltiness (optional)
- 1 dash cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 2 garlic cloves, bitter centers removed
- 1 cup water, boiling
Directions See How It's Made
- Toss into Vita-Mix in the order above, do the variable speed 1-to-10-then-High routine, and blend for about a minute or to whatever texture and degree of heat you like. Might get a bit bitter if you leave it over night.

We've all had times in our relationships when we hurt a loved one, or a loved one hurt us. That's part of life. But not all of us know how to forgive, even when the other party has offered a sincere apology (and especially when he doesn't). UCLA psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Marmer shares the three types of forgiveness: exoneration, forbearance, and release. fixing their most valued relationships.

I learned so much from your short but to the point video Dr. Marmer. I am in a crisis mode with family that just does not understand that I have feelings. They say and do as they please never considering the consequences. I backed off from exposing myself to them thus protecting myself from negativity. The Holidays always bring on stressful times. "Release" as you call it will help me. It will be my muntra if you will for the future. "Compassion" helps. It's just hard sometimes when "they" refuse to see the pain they inflict by always putting it on the other person. They can't look at themselves as it's easier to blame others. I am very forgiving it's just hard when they have blinders on.

Ryan Mungia's Protect Yourself: Venereal Disease Posters of World War II uncovers many obscure propaganda posters that were, once upon a time, just as popular as the iconic "We Can Do It!" woman.
The posters represent a strange and uneasy attempt to refine wartime propaganda, and their various iterations tell a largely unknown story about sexual mores, puritanical anxiety, and how the establishment reconciled itself to the fact of sex.
The posters scream for themselves. They were the product of antagonistic collaboration between the military, the Surgeon General's office, and the War Advertising Council, a cabal of New York admen given the task of fine-tuning American propaganda. The near-schizophrenic variety of messages and graphics in this collection reflects the internal conflicts of the U.S. propaganda machine, which was trying to appease several different agendas simultaneously. Few of the posters in Protect Yourself are attributable to specific years, but the book makes it possible to trace multiple evolutions that unfolded during the war. The bold, abstract designs of the Work Projects Administration give way to the straightforward illustrative schemes of the WAC, which resemble advertisements from the pages of Fortune or the Saturday Evening Post. In the parade of captions, you can watch the morphing attitude toward sex education. What begin as concerns over public health—"Whom Have You Exposed To Syphilis? Tell Your Physician, They Should Be Examined; They May Need Treatment"—become manipulations of guilt and shame: "VD Can Be Cured But There's No Medicine for REGRET."

This product was so close to being amazing; I ordered it in a size 14 hoping for a cute way to hide my belly. It offers great tummy bulge concealment, but if you have a nice chest, you will not be happy. I have never had a swim suit or tank make my (natural) size 36 DD breasts look so flat and droopy.

|Learn, THEN Achieve
by Scot R. Stone
Thursday, January 13, 2005
As I look back at what I have accomplished in the last three years as a writer, I still realize the boat I'm in on this great big ocean is still leaking water.
So when and how do you make it stop? Simply plugging the holes with your fingers will leave you without hands to grab your oars so you can row your way to that mysertious island we like to call "Success."
First we must make a watertight vessel, one where simple things like editing mistakes, poor cover designs and poor back cover blurbs can quickly sink you like an anchor. But even with a watertight vessel, it still doesn't mean you will be protected from the storm on the horizon. That's the one called the "plot." Many stories are done to death or are too far-fetched to be believeable. Or perhaps the characters are just not real enough to the reader. Finding your niche and weathering that storm of flying reviews can be troublesome if an author does not prepare for it on the front end.
I have done reasonably well since I set out of my tranquil harbor to brave the odds. Has everything gone according to design? No. Nor do I think it does for most authors out there treading water. I have landed on some islands, finding them to be only mirages, while others have been temporary havens. But now, with some sailing experience under my belt, the many dos and don'ts have made themselves evidently clear. Some say this way is better, or that way is the best, but I only know how capable my vessel is and how it will manage in the straights I choose to venture through. I laugh often on my journeys, for it makes my skin tough and keeps me from becoming lost. I have heard many who believe they are experts spew the worst lessons you can imagine, ones that could have sunk my boat further if I followed their advice. However, the only thing that can truly sink an author's boat entirely is the author himself, for giving up altogether.
This I refuse to do, so, therefore, there will always be waters for me to travel. And to those who wish not to get stuck in the mud, here are a few tips I can give you to prevent that from happening. As simple as that may sound now, I guarantee many authors fall into common traps because they didn't know any better:
1) Storyboard your books. It's the best way to avoid writer's block. Keep it as loose as possible so you can change direction if inspiration hits. Storyboarding includes completing maps ahead of time. It's hard to tell the reader where you're going if you don't have your own map to navigate you or your passengers there.
2) Complete your novel before you submit it to a publisher or agent. It makes no sense to write 3 chapters and then try to make a pitch. How can you possibly know for sure how your story will end when you haven't written the whole book? How do you know it won't end an entirely different way that you originally imagined (even when you storyboarded)? You will sound much more convincing to an agent or publisher if they actually know you have completed your work. If you make your pitch and they say they want to see more, what do you tell them if it's not done? "Oh, could you wait another year?" I don't think so. You want to keep their interest when you have it.
3) Send queries to agents and publishers at the same time. If an agent bites, then they can start pitching you to the big houses. Some houses won't even look at a manuscript if there is no agent representing it. But not all. If a publishing house wants your novel, then undoubtedly you will have ten agents at your door waiting to pick you up as a client. But how do you know a good agent from a bad agent? Do your internet research. Many websites are devoted to telling you who the top agents are on the market, and most reputable. Follow the directions listed on the publisher's or agent's website on how they want to see the submission. Failure to follow these simple rules will land you in their slush pile, where it will become lost forever.
4) If you are a first-time author, have someone professionally edit your book before you mail it to a publishing house. Nothing will turn a publisher off faster than a poorly edited manuscript. This is the part where you grow thick skin. Be able to take criticism. If you can't, you're in the wrong business. Again, there are many places on the net where you can learn how to get a decent editor for a decent price. Do your research.
5) Be patient. You may not hear back from an agent or publisher for over a year. Sometimes not even at all. Keep submitting and keep refining - AND KEEP WRITING! Just because you have a completed work, don't stop there! You always want to stay ahead of the game. Make them know you are prolific. No one wants to represent an author who only has written one novel and has no other ideas on the hot plate. BE CAREFUL OF SHARING YOUR IDEAS! Protect your ideas, even when you have them copyrighted. Nothing is more sacred than your own genius. Not until your work is in print can you talk about it. That's the only way you can ensure someone won't try to steal your future.
6) Network. Plain and simple. Go to writer's conferences, workshops, book signings and read. The only way you're going to learn is to make those connections. Conferences are a great way to meet agents and editors of publishing houses. You would be surprised how many authors become successful after they meet the people they are trying to draw ineterest from face-to-face. I'll raise my hand here.
7) And if you manage to become published, your work is not over. Market, market, market. It's a never-ending process. Find every avenue you can to take that will make people learn about you. There's a thousand different ways to reach people. Just ask John Kremer (hint - look up his book). A good publisher will have their own marketing department and help you promote your work, but the bulk of authors, even those in big houses, do most of their own marketing.
Now that the lessons end here, I will see you when I arrive at the next island, hopefully it will be the one called "Success."

Contractors working to clean up old Pittsburgh Cut Flower site in Richland
What smacks of a war zone now stretches beyond the chain link fence where crumbling greenhouses once lined Bakerstown Road in Richland.
It has been 10 months since Joe Pillart, 49, of Richland — co-owner of Mid-Atlantic Environmental Consultants — arrived to coordinate ongoing efforts by multiple contractors to clean up the asbestos-contaminated former site of Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co.
"Now that the greenhouses are down at the road, it's a beautiful sight — not having those 20 years of blight there," said Chris Beichner, executive director of the nonprofit Allegheny Land Trust.
"It just opens up that view of the valley and the natural green space that exists down at the pond and below," Beichner said.
After the cleanup is complete, Allegheny Land Trust, a nonprofit group, hopes to buy the property for $1.4 in grants and donations from Legacy Landings LLC, the land's current owners.
Beyond the view of passing motorists, more than a mile of bumpy dirt roads snake past the remnants of demolished and remaining structures in a jungle-like valley.
"There are a lot of flat tires on this job," Pillart said, leading a tour of the valley from the driver's seat of his 5.7-liter Dodge Hemi pickup.
Pillart got into the environmental cleanup business after working on airplane fuel tanks as a tech sergeant in the 911th Aircraft Wing unit of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command at Pittsburgh International Airport. Pillart also is a 1983 graduate of Deer Lakes High School with an associate degree in environmental science from the Community College of Allegheny County.
At the former home of Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., only three of 12 original greenhouses still stand on the 180 acres that once yielded untold roses and other blooms.
"There were 10 acres of greenhouses," said Beichner of the Allegheny Land Trust.
Allegheny Land Trust plans to eventually designate 150 acres of the property for passive recreation, and 30 acres for limited economic development.
Cleanup of the land might be done by December, according to Pillart.
"Just because the cleanup is complete does not mean that Allegheny Land Trust will go ahead and purchase it," Beichner said. "We want to make sure the property is safe for the public to use in the future."
Two Philadelphia-area firms — Agresta Construction of Cherry Hill, N.J., and Controlled Environmental Systems of Horsham Township, Montgomery County — are tearing down the site's crumbing structures.
The debris is going to a secure Waste Management landfill in West Sunbury, Butler County, that accepts hazardous waste.
"The steel is getting recycled and everything else is going out as hazardous waste," Pillart said. "Castriota Metals is getting all the steel."
Supervising all the heavy lifting are Walt Adams, 59, of South Philadelphia and Controlled Environmental Systems; and Shawn Speedwell, 50, of North Philadelphia and Agresta Construction.
After trucks carry away all the rubble, two to four inches of soil will be scraped off the surface of the demolition site, and also hauled away as hazardous waste.
When vandals broke into the site's greenhouses in March 2012 to steal copper and other metal for scrap, the intruders disturbed a lot of asbestos insulation around pipes in the site's greenhouses. "The asbestos was all over the pipes, and they were cutting up the pipes," Pillart said.
Government official then designated the property as a contaminated site.
Before the vandalism occurred, the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. property was "just blighted and didn't look good," Pillart said. "Everybody knew what was in there, but nobody wanted to buy it, because it needed cleaned up.
"Once the vandals went in there, and put asbestos all over the ground, government agencies had to take action," Pillart said.
Overseeing the demolition and cleanup for the federal Environmental Protection Agency is Jocelyn Welshhans of TechLaw in Wheeling, W.Va.
"It's going pretty good," she said about the cleanup.
Among her duties, Welshhans photographs the cleanup and watches to make sure that all workers wear hard hats, respirators and other protective clothing as they continue to demolish buildings and de-contaminate the property.
During the ongoing cleanup, Pillart continuously tests the site's air for traces of asbestos fibers.
Pillart monitors the air's asbestos level by microscopically viewing snipped pieces of air filters housed in containers attached to the chain link fence along the Bakerstown Road perimeter of the site.
"It's been very low," Welshhans said about the airborne asbestos.
"Well below reportable quantities."

Deanna McKinney wants to know why it took her son's slaying for the man suspected in his killing to finally be locked up, even though police say he had connections to three prior shootings on Charleston's West Side.
Tymel McKinney, 19, was shot several times in the face while sitting on his Sixth Street porch on April 23. Darrell Emmett "D.J." Carter Jr., 18, of South Charleston, was later charged with first-degree murder.
Carter had been charged with malicious wounding and wanton endangerment in a March 30 shooting on Stuart Street. However, those charges were dismissed during a preliminary hearing in Kanawha County Magistrate Court when the alleged victim did not show up.
Kanawha Prosecuting Attorney Mark Plants said he did not have the paperwork in front of him Friday night but believes the case was dismissed because there was not enough evidence without the alleged victim's testimony. The case would have been refiled, he said.
Deanna McKinney said she became upset when she heard Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster say Carter is connected to at least four of seven shootings reported on the West Side in March and April. Webster made the comment during a meeting Thursday night with West Side residents.
Police have said they believe several of the shootings are connected to two feuding families — the Davises and the Carters.
It appears that Carter's relatives were involved in a shooting at Littlepage Terrace on March 24.
The following day, two men were arrested for shooting from their car window near J.E. Robins Elementary School, on Beech Avenue. Police said that incident was in retaliation for the shooting the day before.
On March 30, Carter and Dante Davis were shot during an apparent scuffle on Stuart Street, but Carter was arrested.
Davis told detectives he was approached by "an unknown black male wearing a gray hooded sweat shirt" — later identified as Carter — while walking from a Stuart Street residence to the 7-Eleven on Washington Street West to pick up his daughter. Davis told detectives he felt uneasy, although he didn't specify why, as the man came closer. After greeting one another with "What's up," Davis said the man pulled a firearm from his waist. A criminal complaint states that Davis told police he grabbed the gun and a struggle began.
Davis said he heard one shot and felt pain in his leg. Two more shots were heard, after which the unidentified male reportedly fled the scene. Carter was found with wounds to his chest and left arm, police said. Carter had been held in South Central Regional Jail until the case was dismissed during a preliminary hearing before Kanawha Magistrate Pete Lopez on April 8.
Two weeks later, on April 23, police believe Carter fatally shot Tymel McKinney. Mark Gaddy, 23, of Detroit, and an unidentified juvenile also have been charged with first-degree murder.
Deanna McKinney said she believes that her son would still be alive if Carter had remained in jail on the malicious wounding and wanton endangerment charges.
"This whole thing could have been prevented," Deanna McKinney said. "I'm not going to let that go, but that's a whole other fight."
Carter also has been charged with solicitation to commit murder. Police said they believe he offered two people $15,000 to kill Charleston Police Lt. Steve Cooper. Carter allegedly was unhappy with the way Cooper handled the March 30 shooting that Carter was involved in. Carter is being held in the South Central Regional Jail without bail. His case has moved on to a Kanawha County grand jury.

NBAA's 25th Annual Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference officially kicked off yesterday with the announcement that this year's show had set a new attendance record of more than 2,600, a far cry from the 68 that showed up at the first conference held in 1989 at a Montvale, N.J. hotel. When combined with a record number of 495 exhibitors, this makes the 2014 event the largest on all accounts in the event's history.
"The NBAA Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas really had a lot of momentum to it, and what we are seeing is that momentum is carrying over in 2014," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. "There's a lot of enthusiasm here so you'll not just see large crowds and a large number of exhibitors, [but] I think you will [also] see a feeling of excitement, a feeling of optimism, and with schedulers and dispatchers you'll certainly see a can-do spirit."
Bolen noted that the industry is still adapting to life in the aftermath of the economic crisis that wracked the global economy a little more than five years ago. "I think we're realists, I think we're understanding that since the Great Recession there has been a new normal, but I also sense that people feel that we're moving forward," he told AIN. "It might not be rocket growth, but we're moving forward. I think that feels good after having gone through a period where things felt pretty precarious."
At the opening ceremony, Schedulers and Dispatchers committee chairwoman Spring Adamo, flight logistics lead with FirstEnergy Service, got the show rolling by welcoming attendees, while at the same time challenging them to "turn off the autopilot, be engaged, be involved and 'take the lead,'" the theme of this year's conference.
In his opening address, Bolen reflected on the hurdles the industry has faced over the past year, including the government shutdown, which hamstrung the FAA for more than two weeks, as well as its current challenges such as the ongoing European emissions trading scheme, threats of the closure of California's Santa Monica Airport, and the FAA's recently postponed sleep apnea policy, which could subject pilots to costly medical screenings. Bolen noted the debate over the next FAA reauthorization has already begun, with renewed interest in privatizing the agency and funding it through user fees. In this election year, he quoted former President John F. Kennedy in stating "the best time to fix the roof is when the sun is shining," and tasked the audience with establishing communications with their elected officials before any crisis.
"I was as excited at the beginning of 2014 as I have been about any year we've had in business aviation, and I'm coming up on 20 years in the industry," Bolen told the crowd, describing the support the industry currently enjoys in Congress. "Today more than half the members of the U.S House of Representatives, a majority, belong to the General Aviation Caucus. Almost half of the United States Senate belongs to the General Aviation Caucus. That means that most of the people on Capitol Hill have raised their hand and said, 'I believe in this industry, [and] I want it to grow.'"

The Wanted Enter PopCrush's Sound Off Hall of Fame With 'Glad You Came'
The Wanted are officially the newest members in PopCrush's Sound Off Hall of Fame! Although the Brits are still newcomers here in the States, all that is changing pretty quickly as their breakout hit 'Glad You Came' continues to climb the charts (you can buy 'Glad You Came' on iTunes by clicking here) — and finds them defeating challenger after challenger (for four weeks straight) in our Sound Off series!
The Wanted found their first competitor in Chris Brown's 'Turn Up the Music,' however Team Breezy is no match for fans of the Wanted, since the guys came out on top after a close, heated battle. In the following round, the Wanted took on Madonna and her new single 'Give Me All Your Luvin'.' Although Queen Madge is one of pop's leading icons, the Wanted defeated her with more than 64% of fan votes.
More recently, the Eurodance-inspired club anthem 'Glad You Came' took on Katy Perry's brand-new kiss off anthem 'Part of Me.' Once again, after a week of the numbers rising and falling, the Wanted's fans took their boys to the top again with more than half of the overall votes.
Finally, the Wanted's 'Glad You Came' went head-to-head with soulful songstress Adele and her newest '21' single 'Rumour Has It.' Now Adele might've just won six Grammys, but she was booted from the competition after the Wanted garnered more than 86% of the votes from listeners/readers.
Congratulations to Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes of the Wanted! The guys are now members of the PopCrush Sound Off Hall of Fame along with Adam Lambert, Dev, Kelly Clarkson plus more!
If their wins are any indication of where the Wanted's career is headed, they could very well reach superstar status in the U.S. like fellow boy banders 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys — with a more updated wardrobe and better hairdos (we're looking at you, Ramen-haired Justin Timberlake) of course!
Listen to the Wanted, 'Glad You Came'

For those who want to push the creative envelope on both the video-editing and DVD-authoring fronts, Pinnacle Studio 8our Editors' Choice in this storyreally shines. We've always liked Pinnacle Studio for its blend of usability and editing prowess. With Studio 8, Pinnacle merges video editing and DVD authoring, significantly trimming the time needed to produce content for output to DVD.
For editing, Studio 8 employs a storyboard or the more familiar timeline, where you assemble and edit your clips. Though Studio 8 doesn't have the broadest feature set, key features like titling and audio mixing are extraordinary.
For example, Pinnacle's TitleDeko offers both text and appearance presets, allowing the font-challenged user to drag, drop, and quickly create an attractive title. Advanced users are rewarded with controls like kerning and skewing, as well as the ability to draw rectangles and circles, useful as text backgrounds or as design elements.
On the audio front, though many editors provide the ability to insert background music or narration tracks, Studio 8 makes these features truly usable with an audio mixer that lets you adjust relative volumes in real time, with subsequent fine tuning performed via rubber-band controls on the timeline. This simplifies adjusting track volumes to the appropriate levels. In addition, SmartSound, the bundled utility for creating custom background tracks, is the most functional product in its class.
DVD production is highly integrated into the video-editing process. For example, you create DVD menus in Pinnacle's familiar titling utility, TitleDeko, adding buttons for linking to video assets and other menus.
As with the other products, linking assets to menus is a simple drag-and-drop affair, and you preview your work in the normal preview window. Unlike the other two products, which use cookie-cutter menu templates, Studio 8 gives you extensive design flexibility. You can easily add video and audio in the background of menu screens and even paste video clips on top of the menu's chapter buttons.
Alas, this creative flexibility comes at a price: Though you don't have to be a computer science major to build a DVD with Studio 8, you wouldn't want to start novices with this program, especially if you had to provide technical support. Learning to import clips and navigate the myriad choices isn't hard, but it isn't as easy as a template-based approach.
That said, Studio 8 offers the best mix of powerful video editing and DVD authoring we've seen yet.

US Ranchers Defend Horse Meat, While Canada Faces Criticism For Eating It
Would You Eat Horse Meat?
If you've long considered equine eating to be verboten, you certainly wouldn't be the only person. But hold your horses, because proponents are making quite the case for why Americans should eat more horse meat. At the United Horsemen's first-ever Summit of the Horse event this week, ranchers, horse owners, and lawmakers reconsidered horse slaughter and what it could mean for the meat processing industry.
The Globe and Mail's Mark Schatzker made the case for eating horse meat as well, waxing poetic about the meat as "surprisingly delicate, with a whisper of gaminess that tells you the animal you're eating didn't spend its life digging its snout into a trough full of corn." What's more, the practice is widely accepted around the world, and horse slaughter is surprisingly humane, according to slaughter experts.
I've never had horse meat, but I'm not ruling it out down the road. The one thing truly sets me back is that gory horse head scene from The Godfather.

How to Come to Lenin Peak Yurt Camp
A journey to our Yurt Camp on Edelweiss Meadow at the foot of Lenin Peak (3,600 m) takes 5-6 hours if you set out on it from Osh where you can easily get by air; international flights arrive in the city every day. We shall travel in a comfortable motor vehicle along the Pamir Highway over picturesque mountain passes, through cute native mountain villages and Alay Valley.
Russian nationals do not need visas to enter Kyrgyzstan; only their internal passports are required to visit the country. There are regular direct flights to Osh from Moscow and other Russian cities and CIS countries, so if you arrive in Osh in the morning, you will have dinner in a Yurt Camp traditional Kyrgyz yurt in the Pamirs in the evening the same day already.
If you have time to stroll about Osh, you will be pleased with the views and colors of this Asian city. Osh is often referred to as 'the southern capital' of Kyrgyzstan. It is the country's second largest city. You will meet kind and hospitable people and see green busy streets with a lot of cozy cafes. You will visit the exotic local bazaar, and Suleiman Mountain - the main Osh's place of attraction and the only Kyrgyzstan's World Heritage Site. The mountain rises in the middle of the city, which enhances its impressiveness and indicates that the Pamirs are not far already.
There are three ways to get to Lenin Peak Yurt Camp:
1. Via Osh, proceeding to the camp by road (Thanks to Kyrgyz visa-free regime regulations and the flights to Osh from Moscow and other CIS cities, including Turkish Airlines flights, this is the best way today, since it allows for saving money and, most importantly, time.)
2. Via Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, proceeding to Osh and thence to the camp by road (The journey from Tashkent to Osh will take 6-7 hours. On the way to Osh you will travel through the picturesque Kamchik Mountain Pass and Ferghana Valley. Nationals of non-CIS countries will need Uzbekistan visas to come via Tashkent.)
3. Via Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, proceeding to Osh by air and thence to the camp by road. (Note the flight baggage allowance is 15 kg, with additional weight to cost 0.7 EURO per kg.)
Visas and Permits
Kyrgyzstan allows visa-free entry for nationals of Russia and other SIC countries.
Since August 2012, nationals of another 44 countries have been allowed visa-free entry into and stay in Kyrgyzstan for the period of maximum 60 days, which makes a visit to the country easier and cheaper.
The 44 countries enjoying Kyrgyzstan visa-free regime are the following:
The regulations require that any visitor has a pass to the border guard zone Lenin Peak is located in. In order to get it, you will have to send us a photocopy of your passport and the due dates of your visit at least 1 month prior to it.
Note: If you are going on a cultural tour around Uzbekistan's historic cities Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva, Kokand and others, you will need an Uzbekistan entry visa unless you are a citizen of a CIS country. (Nationals of CIS countries must have their international passports to visit Uzbekistan.)
Useful Information
Our Yurt Camp is a perfect holiday place for families with children. It is just a happy hunting ground for them to play various games, hike with their parents, swim in the lakes, ride horses, fly kites (Light winds always blow in the area, so kites take off easily there.) and engage in many more other exciting activities.
There is always saddled horse available in the camp to go on a riding excursion around the Achik-Tash River valley - it is so beautiful there! You can ride to the lakes, Leek Meadow with a lot of funny marmots, or just anywhere you like in the area just for riding pleasure.
This year we are bringing mountain bikes to the camp! The entire Alay Valley, including Achik-Tash River valley, is perfect for bike riding excursions. The terrain is almost flat there; even AN-2 aircraft uses it. There are a lot of tracks in the valley, and the views you will have while driving around will be really stunning. None of our guests has ever gone bike riding there, so you can be among the pioneers this year.
Every summer Kyrgyz herding families set up their yurts in Achik-Tash River valley - just like centuries ago. They bring sheep, cows, goats and even yaks to the local pastures. While the men on horseback handle the cattle, the women do housework and make various handicrafts. Their yurts feature traditional felt and woven rugs and decorations. As a guest you will always be welcome in the yurts; the hosts will be happy to show you their works and tell how they make them.
Anyone seeking out inspiration - photographers, writers, artists, musicians, etc. - will certainly find it in the camp. The terrific views and remoteness from civilization will be as benefitting as nowhere else.
Besides two large traditional Kyzrgyz yurts for communal use, Yurt Camp features comfortable 4-pax half-barrel tents with bed clothes in them. The camp holds 100 people at a time, and so does Yurt Camp 1.
Three times a day the camp provides each guest with delicious meals made by our committed masters of cookery. There is a store of fresh fruit in the camp (apples, pears, grapes, peaches, apricots, melons and watermelons), as well as fresh vegetable salads, Asian sweets, dry fruit, various nuts, candies, crackers, several types of tea and coffee. It is also possible to buy juices, mineral water, beer and even stronger alcoholic beverages on site.
Yurt Camp boasts a real sauna. It is another yurt, smaller in size, which is equipped for washing and steam-bath taking purposes. It is relaxing and comfortable inside, and there is always hot and cold water in abundance in it.
The camp features internet access. In addition, we can help you to browse and record your photos or videos, or play your favorite movies and music. Even a discotheque can be arranged if you like; there are always campers who enjoy dancing.
There is always a professional doctor on duty in the camp, as well as a rescue team ready to help.
The camp features a volleyball court with a net. Just build teams and play! Cheering rooters will certainly be there.
Mobile communications, such as portable radios and satellite phones, are never a problem in the camp. Cellular phone reception is also good in the area; many campers use cell phones instead of walkie-talkies.
We care for nature. The camp trash is carefully sorted and taken to the city waste sites or eliminated in the camp without harm to the environment.

The city of Newcastle is the third largest settlement in Natal. It is situated in the north west corner of KwaZulu Natal, next to the Ncandu River, amidst the famous KwaZulu Natal battlefields. This is the main reason that accommodation in Newcastle attracts tourists.
This region of Natal is a tourism hot spot because of the area's rich history. The northern and central parts of the KwaZulu Natal province are the sites of numerous bloody battles between the Zulus, Boers and British. The outcome of these battles had significant effects on South Africa's development.
Today there is an official tourist route known as the Battlefields Route, which takes in the various battlefield sites, museums and old forts. It is known as having the largest concentration of significant war-related sites in South Africa. As you can imagine, this place is a historian's dream.
Around Newcastle itself, some of the best sites include the memorial sites for the battle of Laing's Nek, the battle of Schuinshoogte, the battle of Majuba, the Mount Prospect cemetery and the Amiel Museum. You can explore these sites under your own steam using a tourism map and a bit of prior research or alternatively, hire a qualified guide who can take you through the fascinating and at time poignant history.
In addition to bucket loads of history, the area around Newcastle also has some natural attractions. The Chelmsford Nature Reserve is a popular destination and offers guided or independent game-viewing, walking and cycling tracks and many opportunities for keen birders.
The Ntshingwayo Dam is located within the reserve and is a renowned fishing spot with good stocks of carp, barbell and scaly. You can also partake in sailing and water-sports on the dam.
If you are looking to explore KwaZulu Natal's battlefields, accommodation in Newcastle will make a good base. Visit the area to explore South Africa's history and immerse yourself in nature.
Sleeping-OUT has a wide variety of accommodation in Newcastle available and our safe online booking service makes everything that much easier. Browse Accommodation now.
