Just a warning, this may read as the ramblings of a madman, but weather makes people do strange things.
Well we are getting back to normal winter weather here in PA. Give yourselves create because we all survived the Polar Vortex of 2014. Decided to take advantage of the 30 + degree weather to get in a nice 6.2 miler. Headed out as the sun was setting and enjoyed the serenity of solo running that has become my escape from daily life. It was nice to just get out, not freeze and take in the fresh air and eerily calming fog.
I run mostly on farm/rural roads that are not too far off the Susquehanna River. The combination of the cold soil of the farm fields everywhere around me, combined with cold river water, produce a dense fog that reduces visability to within 20 yds and leaves you covered in moisture for running through it. I love it. I mean what better way to clear your head on a run then to simply have an empty canvas (other than fog and the road under your feet) all around you.
Warmth is beginning to creep back into our lives like the rolling fog. Keep on running with visions of shorts and warm weather gear in your heads. We beat the Polar Vortex and spring is coming around the bend.

There are great films; some of them win Oscars. There are truly bad films; some of them attract cult followings. Then there are mediocre films. And What Planet Are You From? is mediocrity at its most bland.
The film opens on a planet inhabited by beings that have the outward appearance of men but who are actually devoid of sex, that is, sexual organs or sexual drive. They are also without emotion. The leader of these aliens (Ben Kingsley) has plans to take over earth (and revitalize his own withering race) by impregnating one of its women. The first scenes show thousands of the men-like aliens learning lessons about earth women, how to approach, seduce, and indeed, penetrate them. According to these lessons, there are three things you need to know in order to be successful with a female human. First, you have listen and respond appropriately to whatever she says: nod your head and say, "Uh-huh." Second, you have to flatter her shoes and hairstyle, which should pretty much lead to sex. The third and final step is to manipulate her erogenous zones and "hey presto," a child is made.
What Planet Are You From?
Mike Nichols
Garry Shandling, Annette Bening, Greg Kinnear, Ben Kingsley, Linda Fiorentino, John Goodman
(Columbia Pictures)
This mass education scene is obnoxious and mildly offensive, like all racist or sexist jokes that bolster the teller's ego by belittling others. But on reflection, the scene is almost a relief, since the rest of the movie mostly left me comatose. The humor, what there is of it, is adolescent. The film has one recurring joke, about a prosthetic penis attached to the chosen emissary, Alien H-1449 (Garry Shandling) that whirrs when stimulated. Now, the gag has great potential for humor, but it's never realized. Instead, the same basic joke whirring is repeated over and over. In a word, What Planet Are You From? is phallocentric.
Written by Gary Shandling and Michael Leeson and directed by Mike Nichols, the film assumes the patriarchal notion that men take action (pursue women, for instance), and women are the objects of their actions. There may be a related presumption in the fact that when H-1449 arrives on earth, he poses as a junior bank executive named Harold Anderson, as bank executives are hardly known for being action-oriented. Still, there is a small bit when H-1449/Harold makes his entry into earth's atmosphere via an in-flight aircraft, an entry that is none too smooth for the passengers, causing them to be tossed violently around the plane. The unexplained turbulence attracts the attention of Federal Aviation Agent investigator Roland Jones (John Goodman), who gets very excited when his life of tedious, go-nowhere inquiry finally uncovers something bizarre. Soon he's hot on Anderson's trail, suspecting that he has, at last, found an honest-to-God extra-terrestrial.
Meanwhile, Anderson is befriended by a banking colleague, Perry Gordon (Greg Kinnear), who offers to show him the town, and how best to get laid. Enter the whirring penis jokes. One of Gordon's favorite pick-up sites an AA meeting is where Anderson meets Susan (Annette Bening), a likely vessel for the gestation of his alien offspring. Anderson puts all his efforts into wooing her: he compliments her hair and shoes. They get married, have non-stop sex, but don't immediately conceive. Finally, the seed is sown, as announced in a very eye-catching manner, when Susan sings "High Hopes" for her approving husband.
At this point, the one-note penis-joke "plot" fades out, and we're into a romantic comedy, as our alien hero discovers that there's so much more to earth and its women than was covered by the glib instruction he received back home. The film is directed by Mike Nichols, who has enjoyed his share of fame, winning an Oscar for The Graduate (1967), and nominations for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), Silkwood (1983), and Working Girl (1988). The past decade, however, has not been so great for Nichols, as his output has included less than stellar films like The Birdcage (1996), and Primary Colors (1988). None of these films rise much above the obvious and inconsequential. Still, What Planet Are You From? is a new low: if it's not rock bottom mediocrity, it sure feels close.

Parkinson's Disease
How long does it take for meds to take affect
How long does it take for Parkinson`s Disease Meds to take affect. If a person is diagnosed with Parkinson`s Disease and given Sinemet, how long does it take to see a change?
Often, Parkinson's medications (including Sinemet) have to be started at a lower dose to help minimize potential side-effects. Once the medication is tolerated, it is usually slowly increased to a dose that is considered therapeutic. Some medications may take a few weeks after reaching a therapeutic dose until any benefit is seen. However, the benefit from replacing dopamine with Sinemet is typically apparent within a few hours of a therapeutic dose. There are also people who who may not notice a robust response within hours of taking Sinemet, but gradually over the course of a few days they see improvement in their symptoms. These people often find worsening of stiffness, slowness, and tremor within a few days of stopping this medication.
Therapeutic doses are different for everyone, and patients need to discuss this with the doctor prescribing the medication.
In addition, taking Sinemet with protein rich foods (dairy products, meats, nuts, etc...) can decrease the absorption of this medication. This problem can be overcome by taking this medication at least 30 minutes before any meal, and not with any protein rich foods. It is fine to take this medication with carbohydrates such as cookies, crackers, soda, or juice in order to help minimize upset stomach.

A voting machine monopoly?
The nation's largest election company is purchasing a rival in a major deal that will make it the sole provider of voting machines in 65 of Florida's 67 counties and much of the nation. Election Systems & Software's $5 million acquisition of Diebold Inc.'s voting company has prompted fears that the private company will become a monopoly that's bad for democracy. (Story here)

The War on Drugs, "Slave Ambient" (Secretly Canadian)
You can't hold it against the War on Drugs for releasing a second record that doesn't compare to its debut.
The Philadelphia group's debut, 2008's "Wagonwheel Blues," was an anomaly, a stunning creation, a meeting of the minds. And since some of those minds have left the band — including Kurt Vile, who is making noise on his own — the band's second effort is something of a U-turn from the Dylan-aping alt-folk that first had us swooning.
But while "Slave Ambient" might not have a freewheeling "Arms Like Boulders," it does have the more aggro (though equally melancholic) "Your Love is Calling My Name." Frontman Adam Granduciel seems more his own man in this recording, even if it lacks certain qualities fans might wish were there.
He gets weird with "It's Your Destiny," and he relives a bit of the past with "Brothers." Front to end, "Slave Ambient" is a captivating listen — a statement, perhaps, that he's not about to live in the past. And while fans will inevitably miss those simpler times, some will surely come around to this challenging record's diverse listenability.

Jeff Bridges, "Jeff Bridges" (EMI)
It's almost too obvious. Jeff Bridges, best known as an actor, releases a country-leaning record after his Oscar-winning turn in the country music flick "Crazy Heart."
The powers behind the action even set Bridges up with the right producer, T Bone Burnett, the man behind the "Crazy Heart" soundtrack, along with countless other folk/country/blues credits.
Is Bridges' musical turn any good? It's only fine.
It's not that Bridges is bad. Hard-core fans might remember his decent musical debut, 2000's "Be Here Soon." Bridges is a fine singer, with his oft-imitated, gravelly vocals as recognizable as they are in his films.
Where this eponymous sophomore record goes astray is the point where Bridges meets Burnett. Bridges is the worn-in character we've learned to love in multiple different, if similar, incarnations. And this polished record is not only super-clean, but it's also meditative and plodding, hardly allowing Bridges to sound comfortable.
"Jeff Bridges" is a surprisingly serious record, with its many ballads, its understated harmonies (hear Rosanne Cash in there?) and its repeated use of weepy guitars. Sure, there are some fun numbers. CD-starter "What a Little Bit of Love Can Do" is an easy match for pop-country radio. But even while Bridges is shooting the breeze on a swinging, laid-back number like that, he doesn't sound like he's enjoying himself.
On the flip side, Bridges sounds more at home on the Gothic dirge "Slow Boat" — penned by Burnett and him — but it's also the slowest, most dour and methodical song on the record, not exactly easy listening. But as the most cohesive track on the record, it doesn't help that the song sounds like a B-side from the "Raising Sand" sessions, which Burnett helmed for Alison Krauss and Robert Plant.

Living in the shadow of a legend isn't easy, especially when the legend in question—Diana Vreeland, the high-octane editor in chief of Vogue from 1963 to 1971—is a family member. Treading carefully and respectfully might be the best approach. But writer, director, and producer Lisa Immordino Vreeland, who is married to one of Vreeland's grandsons, spent three years investigating every nook and cranny of the wacky, wise, and occasionally tragic world that might be called Vreelandia. Her 2011 literary salute to the clan's matriarch, Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel(Abrams, $55), was an instant sensation in style circles, and her documentary of the same name opens today in select theaters across the country.
Created by Immordino Vreeland, with codirectors and cowriters Bent-Jorgen Perlmutt and Frédéric Tcheng, the 86-minute film explores the life of Diana Vreeland (née Dalziel, 1903–89), an eccentric but soignée society matron who brought her passions for art, fashion, travel, literature, and history first to Harper's Bazaar and then to Vogue. Mixing period interviews, revelations from private papers, and intimate conversations with family, friends, and colleagues—as well as a peppy musical score—Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel is not only an intimate look at one of America's greatest tastemakers but also a crash course in overcoming adversity with high style.
AD talks with Immordino Vreeland about her own projects, her insights, and why the world needs Diana Vreeland now and forever.
Architectural Digest: There have been at least four books written about your husband's grandmother, not including yours, and another biography is coming out in December. Now you've made a documentary. Is it possible to have too much Diana Vreeland?
Lisa Immordino Vreeland: People are looking for inspiration now more than ever before, and she provided it back then and is still providing it today. Her inspirational quality was a big motivating factor for me when I was working on the book and the movie.
*AD:*She looms large not just for a certain style-obsessed segment of the public, but also in the Vreeland family. What did you learn about her roles as a mother and a wife that surprised or disturbed you?
LIV: That in her pursuit of and passion for the world, along the way she neglected her sons. You can see that in the interviews with my father-in-law and his brother, Tim. People have said, "What a horrible mother!" Come on! It was a different time. People now are involved in every aspect of their children's lives. There are no boundaries—even my ten-year-old daughter has access to everything on my computer. But back then children were sent to boarding school when they were very young. Also, she was a traditional society woman, very present as a wife but married to a man who had affairs, and she just closed her eyes to them. He was the love of her life, and she didn't want to go down that road, so she hid her true emotions.
AD: What did she bring to the world of publishing that is absent today?
LIV: Freedom—she got away with a lot of stuff at Vogue that would be impossible today. But it was the 1960s, and Condé Nast was lucky to find a woman of her background who understood both high and low culture and could capture the Zeitgeist of that era. When she was editor in chief, Vogue wasn't really a fashion magazine; it was about the world. There's not that level of taste now in the magazine world. It's more important to feature celebrities and reality-show stars. How interesting is that?
*AD:*Vreeland gained early notoriety in the '30s for the bizarre style maxims she contributed to Harper's Bazaar, such as, "Why don't you wash your blond child's hair in dead Champagne as they do in France?" Was she just being wacky or was that column evidence of something deeper? What do you think she was trying to convey to the magazine's readers?
LIV: One of the why-don't-you maxims we use in the movie is, "Why don't you paint a map of the world on all four walls of your boys' nursery so they won't grow up with a provincial point of view?" There's nothing wacky in that—that's something written by someone who has her feet planted firmly on the ground, despite the extravagant craziness. She was always teaching, in a fun way, in an approachable way.
AD: So many people admire her famous red garden-in-hell living room in Manhattan, but I'm entranced by the cavernous shocking-pink living room at her country house in Brewster, New York. In a world where safe decorating still rules, her taste was, frankly, bracing.
__LIV:__We still have some things of hers, like the great [Syrie Maugham] sleigh bed from her New York City apartment. Our property on Long Island has two houses, one of which was rented by [fashion photographers] Inez and Vinoodh for a number of years; they slept on that bed. Now it's at our own house. We also have one of her enormous couches. Her couches always had killer measurements.
__AD:__Vreeland once said she didn't lie, she embroidered. As a filmmaker and a writer, did you find her somewhat creative relationship with facts a challenge or an inspiration?
__LIV:__I love how she made a story better with a Vreeland veneer. I don't think it was lying; she was painting a picture. When my husband and his brother lived in Morocco as children—their father was the U.S. ambassador—she loved the idea that the boys would go to school on camels. Of course they didn't, but that's how she felt it should have been.
AD: What do you think is her legacy?
__LIV:__The number of careers she helped launch, among them the shoe designer Manolo Blahnik. The fact that she had her hand in so many people's professional lives counts for something. She had the vision to see something within all those people and to encourage them. People don't necessarily think that way now.

LACTORS' Studio Presents WATCHING SEANA McKENNA WATCH PAINT DRY, 6/4-7/13
Part Waiting For Godot, part Title of Show, with a splash of Twelve Angry Men, WATCHING SEANA McKENNA WATCH PAINT DRY asks the big dramatic questions: what is art? What is life? What is the nexus between them? And what's that woman on stage doing, anyway? Starring eleven real lawyers (and a faux Seana McKenna**), it's a hilarious slice of comedic metatheatre. WATCHING SEANA McKENNA WATCH PAINT DRY plays at the George Ignatieff Theatre as part of the 2014 Toronto Fringe Festival. Tickets are available via www.fringetoronto.com, by phone at 416-966-1062 ext. 1, or at the door.
The Premise: One of the most widely-acclaimed and best-loved actors of our time stars in a play that is rocking the theatrical world. The reviewers have called it "spectacular", "thought-provoking", "moving" and "deep". It plays to sold out houses every night. But! Is it really such amagnum opus? Or does the empress onstage have no clothes? Two friends attend a performance, and fall into a heated debate. Soon the whole onstage audience is drawn into the fray: tempers flare, insults are hurled, and all hell breaks loose. Meanwhile, the show goes on, and the performance continues - even after the paint has dried.
Written by practising lawyer Peter Hamiwka and novelist/writer/retired lawyer Diane Baker Mason, with much creative input from the Company, WATCHING SEANA McKENNA WATCH PAINT DRY will change the way you look at theatre (and maybe at lawyers too). Directed by lawyer Llana Nakonechny. Stage managed by cat-herding non-lawyer Aline Madian.
** Presented with the gracious permission of the real Seana McKenna,who asks to know only one thing: "What colour is the paint?"
All proceeds going to Lawyers Feed The Hungry www.lawyersfeedthehungry.ca.

TAMPA — The gym at Tampa Prep has always been a difficult place to play for Indian Rocks Christian.
Whether it's the layout of the stands with fans on only one side of the court, the lighting or, more likely, the opponent, the Golden Eagles never seem to bring their A game to the Terrapins' home court.
That trend continued Tuesday in IRC's 71-47 loss to Tampa Prep in a Class 2A region semifinal.
"It's always tough coming here," IRC coach Joe Frost said. "They don't lose very often here. …That's the homecourt advantage. That's why you win the districts, I guess."
Tampa Prep (25-4) hounded IRC defensively from the opening tip, denying the Golden Eagles good looks at the basket and challenging every pass.
"We couldn't hit a shot. I told them coming in we needed to hit six, seven, eight 3s tonight, just to stay in the game," Frost said. IRC made just two 3-pointers. "Their pressure kept us off of it."
Tampa Prep opened up a 10-point advantage six minutes into the game and led 17-10 after one.
The Terrapins' Jordan Heath hit a 3-pointer to start the second quarter and extend the lead to 10. IRC cut the deficit to single digits (24-15) with 2:35 left in the half after sophomore forward John Hogan (11 points) made a basket and was fouled. But that was as close as the Golden Eagles would get the rest of the night.
IRC ends its season with an 18-11 record.
"We worked hard, though. I'll take it," Frost said. "Sweet 16. The guys worked hard for it."
IRC senior Isaac McMillen scored his 1,000th career point in the last game of his high school career on a jumper from the free-throw line with 6:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.
McMillen needed eight points entering the Tampa Prep game. He had 11 to finish with 1,003 points.
Freshman forward Sean Culkin also had 11 points for the Golden Eagles.

Jimmy Lee would like to clear the air.
Lee, general manager of Atlanta-based KES Science and Technology Inc., says his company's sanitation system, AiroCide PPT purifying technology, is ideal for avocados, and it has plenty of marketing uses for suppliers and retailers who employ it in their refrigerated storage systems, both large and small.
It's not exactly a new technology, Lee said, noting it was developed more than a dozen years ago by NASA.
"We have a number of customers that have been using it for a number of years," Lee said.
Coral Gables, Fla.-based Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. was one of the first produce shippers to line up for the system, and avocados were the reason, Lee said.
"They came on board, specifically, to control ethylene concentrations where they were storing avocados," he said.
It didn't stop with avocados, he added.
"They've expanded in all their cold-storage facilities, not only to control ethylene gas but also to prevent pathogenic contamination from mold or bacteria — anything basically airborne, AiroCide will mineralize or destroy."
Coosemans Atlanta Inc.'s operation is among the latest produce shippers to install the system, which generally costs around $10,000, Lee said.
"They've already offered some pretty good stories about shelf-life extension," Lee said.
Indeed, the company's website offers testimonials from more that 20 retail stores and produce shippers on the product's effectiveness. Most of the praise comes from the system's capabilities in removing odors and mold.
The technology is ideal for avocados, Lee said, noting that, although ethylene gas is used to ripen avocados once they're ready to go to the consumer or the retailer, too much of the gas can be a problem.
"The old solution was to vent ethylene to the outside of the building, but what these processors and cold-storage companies are finding out is 100% of ethylene doesn't leave the building. It lingers, permeates through to other coolers and can cause avocados to ripen prematurely."
The AiroCide system, on the other hand, draws in ethylene gas and destroys it inside a 'reactor' unit, Lee said.
The system has a growing customer base in an era of tighter food safety protocols, Lee said.
He cited, as an example, intensified scrutiny by the Food and Drug Administration through the Food Safety Modernization Act, which was signed into federal law in January 2011.
"One a (food-safety) hazard inside cold storage or processing has been airborne, that spore or bacteria will attach itself to other product and damage whatever it is in that room, cooler or processing area, causing cross-contamination," Lee said.
Worst-case scenarios can involve product recalls, he said.
The system helps to minimize risks, Lee said.

Often while we are busy getting on with our lives we forget where we live. For example London, a capital city. So much goes on here however if you live on the outskirts it is easy to forget this.
Recently I visited Central London after not going for around 4 years. It was a really great experience because I forgot how wonderful it all is.
One of my favourite attractions was M&M World. There's nothing really special about it but the machines filled with any M&Ms you can imagine are amazing.
A place which can also be forgotten about is Trafalgar Square. The square itself is very nice and you can see sites like Big Ben and it also has the National Portrait Gallery which can be awesome if you are into art.
I also visited the London Eye. I didn't actually go on it as I have been many times before but that experience is also fun as you can see the view very far. South Bank also has very interesting street artists and a walk by the River Thames provides you with entertainment.
Probably one of the most beautiful attractions in my opinion is Tower Bridge. By day it might look like any old bridge however if you visit it while its dark outside it's a truly amazing site. At night you can see all the lights of the surrounding office buildings and the Tower Bridge lights are very pretty too, and a little evening/late night walk by the Thames is quite refreshing.
Finally, possibly my favourite attraction is of course shopping! Recently I went to Oxford Street and I spent 4 hours in one shop! (Try and guess what one) and it was really great. Something that made the shopping day even more fun was the street performers as their music was great and created a lovely atmosphere.

Chrysler Minivan Transmission Problems
i think i posted on the wrong page.
Anyway, i have a 1998 ply voyager that sounds funny everytime i drive it around. the transmission jerk a lil when it picking up speed like when it shifting but after that it runs fine until i have to slow down again then you can feel that jerk again,
i am not sure if its a speed sensor or what? this is my first american car and my wife and kids love it and if possible i dont wanna get rid of it but if it cost me money along the way then i got no choice.
another problem is, the button switches for a/c , defroster, wiper on the back below the stereo blinks continously , sometimes turns off. Reason i dont know if my ac is on or off, is my defroster ON or OFF because the lights are blinking?
and the last one, i looked at the bottom part of the tranny, front side there is this
hanging wire with white connector to it and i can not figure out where it supposed to be plugged in????
any help or input is highly appreciated.
thank you :confuse:
skyking6 Posts: 1the speed sensor is bad. cost about $35.00 it is in the front by the radiator on the side of the transmission. it has a electrical plug on it.5min. job.
there is 2 speed sensor, one is the input turbine speed sensor, and the other is the output speed sensor
which one should i replace? isnt it theres vehicle speed sensor too?
i dont see the VSS anywwhere in the book. picture would be nice
and thank you for your response :confuse:
jonathang88 Posts: 1i have a 03 t &c 3.8l v6.. i need some one to help me.. the issue is that the trans shifts hard into second gear from a dead stop... it is usually felt when the car is accelerated between 1500 and 2000 rpm while shifting into second gear.i have been taking it to the dealership. it has been taken apart 2 times and they say the problem is fixed but i still have the same problem... i was thinking it could be the solenoid pack.. but there are no codes... please if anyone can help me... write me back at email@example.com
gipper2 Posts: 2I replaced both of them. They are fairly easy to get to. There were $17.00 and $18.00.
Once you get the sensors, you will see what they look like. If I remember correctly, they take a 1" wrench to get out. You will need to remove the air filter box. Once you do that you can get to both sensors
tootall5 Posts: 1I have a 2003 Grand Caravan. The first time the tranny failed it had 73k miles. The second time, 88k miles warranty just ran out so I had to eat that one. So far, both driver and passenger windows have failed, about 400 each, and the power doors are hosed. They tell me it needs new sensors. Steer Clear of the Dodge/Chrysler produts. They are going out of business for a reason. If you buy it, you better get a warranty. I won't make it to 100k and can't trade it in because no one wants it. Go with the Ford or at least research it some more. :lemon:
tom166 Posts: 31:lemon: :lemon: :lemon: 2007 transmission.....
dwsqrd Posts: 1We have had a 2002 T&C (with about 90,000 miles now) for a little over a year and have had no problems until this past January. The van has started jerking when it downshifts around 30mph. Every once in awhile, it will jerk when shifting up from a low gear, but that is pretty rare. The fluid level is good and have been putting off taking it to a shop b/c we fear we'll be told we need something done that we really don't. Has anyone experienced this transmission problem? :confuse:
Hmmm, our 2003 DGC (which we bought new) has been a model of reliability. So far, the total unscheduled repairs consist of a single ABS wheel sensor and a replacement clutch for the power door motor. Of course we only have 120,000 miles on it so far so it remains to be seen how well it will do once it gets fully broken in.
FWIW, our 1998 (which we also bought new) had 170,000 miles on it when we traded it in last fall, and while it did need a transmission at the 109,000 mile mark, it too was a model of reliability. Beyond the aforementioned transmission, it also needed a driver's door switch for $8.00, a starter for $120.00, a window regulator for $90.00, a new muffler and tail-pipe for $150 (no surprise there), two batteries for about $100 (one was partially warrantied by Sears), a set of rear shocks for $80.00 (the originals were still working at 150,000 miles, but dust shields had rusted away), and a couple of sets of headlight bulbs for about $50.00. Said another way, I spent a little under $3,300 in unscheduled repairs over 170,000 miles. Not too shabby in my book.
Best regards,
Have you ever had the transmission serviced?
I ask because even though the tranny fluid is supposed to be a "lifetime fill", you're getting to the point where you should have the pan dropped, the filter replaced, and the fluid topped off (about 4 quarts of ATF+4, and ONLY ATF+4). Whatever you do, DO NOT have the transmission "flushed", flushing has caused way more transmission failures than anything else this side of using the incorrect AFT (Dextron ATF and Mercon ATF will kill your transmission in short order) or towing a trailer up a mountain on a one-hundred degree day.
Best regards,
cr119 Posts: 2I have a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan with 117,000 miles. It also has just started jerking just like you described. Does anyone have a solution?
Recently the transmission on my 2003 T&C would slip from 1st to 2nd gear. The van has 118,000 miles and never gave me any problems before. I took it to the dealer two days ago. The said there no codes but the line pressures (all 4) were over the recommended 40psi due to the clutch plates wearing and the gap between the plates increasing. They charged me $80 to "recalibrate the computer" which was supposed to bring all the pressures down and provide a "temporary" fix (3-12 months). Two days later the problem is worse and today it slipped from 2nd to 3rd. I think I will change the speed sensors this weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Thanks.
vcheng Posts: 1,284What the the Clutch Volume Indices (CVI)? If they are out of range then the transmissions needs a rebuild and speed sensors are unlikely to help.
I agree with vcheng, if the values are out of range, you're going to need a rebuild sooner than later.
Question: Do you do lots of urban cycle driving and/or towing? I ask because the values for our 2003 with over 120,000 miles on it are well within spec. That said, we've probably done at least 50% highway driving over the course of the nearly six years we've had the van.
Best regards,
hugefire Posts: 3If you search this forum for the problem, you will see that it's not uncommon, and usually occurs after a transmission fluid change. For some reason, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) senses a loss of prime in the transmission and the problem shows up. I have an 03 T&C and it was doing the same thing, although it had been 6 months since I had the trans serviced. Took it to local AAMCO and they cleared a "battery disconnect" code and then reset the TCM and the problem was solved. I would take yours somewhere to have the TCM reset before trying anything else.
We have never towed anything and it is all highway miles. My wife's commute is about 30 miles each way on the PA Turnpike and we have driven back and forth from Philadelphia to Southern FL at least 6 times. When I took it to the dealer, one of the pressures was close to 186 psi and the other ranged from 60-120psi. After the dealer "recalibrated the unit" they said the pressures were all at 39 psi, but within a day the problem was worse than ever. I dropped the van off at a Cottman transmission shop on Friday. They said no codes were showing up so they are going to drop the pan tomorrow (Monday) and call with the damage report.
Thanks for you help,
Hmmm, sound like a similar operating environment to our 2003. Could it be that your van had either Dextron or Mercon ATF added to it at one point in time? I ask because both of those ATFs are well known to increase clutch wear on these transmissions to such an extent that they can cause a transmission to wear out in a matter of months (in extreme cases).
Best regards,
I never added had to add fluid to the transmission, it has never leaked and I don't think they topped it off whenever we've had it in for service. I just got the call from Cottman Transmission, it needs a complete rebuild and a torque converter, total damage $2380. Do you think that is out of line? From what I've researched it may be in the ballpark.
Depending upon the warranty, yes, it's very much in the ballpark. FWIW, for that kind of money I'm thinking that the warranty should be at least three years or 36,000 miles.
Best regards,
On February 9, 2009, my husband and I had purchase a 1996 Dodge Chrysler Town & Country, from a used dealer. My husband and myself both had signed the "As is" part of the agreement. The problem at the time, was the vibration of the vehicle. It was shaking and vibrating severely. The auto mechanic had replaced ONE motor mount. After that, another week went by, and when we are at stop signs the van sputters, as if it's not going into gear properly, or the transmission is slipping. It dies at stop lights, and getting on the freeway. We were told to take the van back to have him fix it. So we took it in, he told us that we would have to leave it all day, and he would call us when it was time to pick up. We had gone to pick it up, and were down the street after we had left the shop, and it had died, due to having no gas. We thought everything was fine, and was driving, we were a long way from the shop, and it died 2 more times within that same night. This van has been in the shop every SINGLE WEEK since we bought the van, due to the same issue, and it is NOT being fixed!!!! However, the used car dealer has paid for every time our van has gone to the shop, and nothing has been fixed. The owner of the used car dealer has advised my husband and myself that he would help us this last time to get this fixed, and STILL this auto mechanic has NOT fixed, or found out WHY our van is dying at the stoplights and getting on the freeway, sputters at stop signs, and the vibration. When we went to pick our van up this last time. We had taken a picture of the odometer, and then left it with the auto mechanic, to fix the problem. He had called us to tell us to come test drive it with him, that he had driven it for 2 hours, and couldn't find the problem. That mechanic DID NOT drive our van for 2 hours, because the odometer was the same according to our picture that we took when we had left it. He told us, he does not know, he cannot find the problem, which in turn is embarrassing to us. We must also add, that we don't have ANY copies of ANY work order done on our van from all of the times this mechanic has had it in his shop. And IF the owner from the used car dealer has paid this mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem, he's out that money, because NOTHING has been done!!! Now this past Saturday, we were driving our van, and the check engine light had come on, we had called the mechanic, he didn't answer, so we drove over to the repair shop, and they were closed. Every time that we have taken it in on a Saturday they HAVE been open. We need guidance, and don't know what to do at this point. We have 3 small children that we have to get to school, and this is very frustrating and scary to say the least. At some points we are afraid to drive this van. We were desperate for a different vehicle, and had no choice to settle with this, because of our credit being horrible, and going to this used car dealer, and having our fresh start, is great, but we feel we are stuck with this van, for the next 16 months, whether it runs or not. We just want our problem fixed, because it keeps being paid for by the used car dealer, and we are now on our own, and have to save more money now to get this fixed!!! The problems with this van just keep adding up, and don't know what to, since NOTHING has been fixed!!! Could all of these problems be due to needing a new transmission?!?!?!?!?!?
My husband takes great care to maintain my 2001 Town & Country LX with 145K miles. This weekend he changed the transmission fluid and filter. It now lurches upon acceleration after deceleration when in overdrive. He is quite competent mechanicallly and is very perplexed and concerned. Any suggestions?

My first thought is the wrong fluid got in there. A604s are very sensitive to fluid type and condition (which is why its good to change it, like he did). ATF+3 and +4 are the only ones that should be used (earlier ones used +3 later +4, I am not sure where on the spectrum yours is).
He checked based on your recommendation and indeed used the right fluid according to the owner's manual. Any other thoughts? It's raining and he's out fixing...on Easter. Of course, he'll take it to a transmission shop if necessary, but we'd prefer not to.

You might try googling " allpar" and "a604" for trouble shooting tips.
My 03 Caravan had all the typical symptoms, so Dodge rebuilt my transmission a couple of weeks ago at 78,500 miles. It now runs well, except... only when the engine is cold, there is a slight hesitation between first and second. That's more or less the first sign that the transmission was failing before it was rebuilt. I now have 79,300 - dangerously close to the 80 mark. I'm making an appointment, but wondering if anybody has ideas or suggestions - ideas that might be helpful when I am speaking with the mechanic. Thanks!
robopolo Posts: 4I have a 2001 Chrysler Town & Country Minivan. The transnmission just quit shifting. I had the codes read and the following codes were found:
BBECM internal fault

BB2.- Failure of transaxle control nodule
Who Can help me? Is it the wiring, the TCM, a Solenoid, a speed sensor .....?
Replies on this thread are seriously petering out, so I thought I would say something. Whether or not it is of any help... I am no kind of mechanic, but I did recently have my tranny rebuilt by Dodge for all the same problem as you and everybody else in this forum have had. Phrases like "internal fault" and "within transaxle" very much suggest to me that you are looking at a full transmission rebuild. I was lucky enough to have been just shy of my extended warranty running out, so I don't know what it would have cost - but I think you are looking at at least 2000 bucks and perhaps more. On a 2001 you are stuck, because if you sell the car to someone with a bad transmission you will get nothing for it. And it is probably only worth what it will cost to have the problem fixed. If the van is otherwise in good shape, I guess you have to suck it up and have it done and drive it until it dies (again). That's probably what I'd do. At least you can be mostly assured that you won't have to deal with transmission issues on this van ever again! So I guess this counts as moral, rather than technical, support. Good luck!
autowrite Posts: 226What heppens if your currently dealership closes and you have to drive to the next town, like the current problems? You will probaby need Mr. Transmission or AAMCO to fix it as it seems, like in the case of the couple that purchased a 1996, , Chysler service does not seem to be interested;
srs_49 Posts: 1,394OK, I'll make a wag at this. All of what follows is based on experience as an Electrical Engineer, and not any specify automatic tranny experience.
1. P0601, BBECH unable to communicate on the SPI line . SPI stands for Serial Peripheral Interface, and is a low cost, simple way for a computer to communicate with some external device. In this case, the external device is probably a sensor associated with the transmission. So the fault code means that either the sensor itself has failed or the interface to the sensor has failed (broken wire?).
2. P0605, BBECM detected a ROM self test failure uithin the rCM. A ROM is a Read Only Memory that is part of of a computer/microprocessor board. Many computer systems have some sort of self test on the contents of the ROM at power turn on (checksumming, CRC, etc). According to the diagnostic code, the electronics module failed this self test.
3. P0700 BBECM received a signal that the transaxle control BBmodule has a fault. The BBECM (maybe considered a master control unit) detected a fault in the transaxle control unit (one of the slave units???). A faulty transaxle control unit is consistent with the first two error codes.
If I were going to do anything, I would start with the cheapest, simplest thing to replace and see if that fixes the problem or changes anything. That would be whatever sensor it was that would cause the original P0601 fault.
Good luck!

Comments about Spectral Dnc-l Cologne:
I have been using this product for a week now. My hair use to be brittle and itchy, this is the reason my hair was falling out (only crown area). I am not bold, I still have a lot of hair left, however, I knew that if I don't take care of it, I would be bold in a few years. I am 26 years old. My hair has been falling out very slowly over the past 3 years. It is getting noticible, so I decided to try this product. My hair no longer itches, nor falls off after just a week. I also use the shampoo by the same company. Most men start loosing their hair due to increase of hormones. I am only trying the shampoo and this treatment that has minoxil in it. 5%! Some people say that it gives them a headache, but I did not notice any side effects. The product smells very good. However, if you apply too much, you will see a yellow tint on your scalp. Not to worry, that just means you put too much. Which is not necessary. After the aplication, you can style your hair and it stays that way. It sort of feels like gel after it dries. It does not leave a oily or shiny look. Just like natural. So, I am very happy, b/c people cannot notice it, unless you put too much and it turns yellow. However, people do notice the good smell.Give it a try. [$] And I believe the 60ml bottle should last longer than just one month. I think it will be enough for approx 2 months. I hope this helps!

Full arena line-ups for Winter Sound System
The epic all-nighter that is Winter Sound System returns to Melbourne Park in just over a month. While we've already let you know who's leading the way for the inthemix 10 years main arena, there's plenty more action to take you through till 7am.
The Planet Turbo Records arena, led by electro trendsetter Tiga, looks set to be a cracking affair. As the ringleader himself told us, "We're trying to combine a kind of all-night warehouse rave feel with a little bit more of a cinematic visual concept." There's also M.A.N.D.Y.'s decks-and-FX show in the Renaissance Arena to look forward to, and of course Markus Schulz and Gareth Emery taking it deep into the night for Godskitchen.
Be aware, though: these lists do not indicate the running order of acts. For the full story on Winter Sound System, keep an eye on ITM's festival page in coming weeks!

In 2014, Mercedes-Benz will begin selling a new small electric car, the B-Class E-Cell, in the United States. The car will use electric components supplied by Tesla Motors, and should display some of Tesla's impressive high-power acceleration. But eBay shoppers don't need to wait that long for a sweet all-electric Benzo. This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL has been converted to run purely on batteries.
The pedigree of this EV is impressive. According to the listing, it was converted by a master Mercedes mechanic, who created electric car prototypes for General Motors. The seller personally hired the engineer/mechanic to do the conversion. The project took about 600 hours. The result is gorgeous—all the style of a 1960s Mercedes convertible coupe, with the innards of a 21st century emissions-free EV.
"It was very important to me that the car look exactly the same as it did before the conversion (dead sexy) and it does," he writes. "I even went through extra pains to retain the original manual transmission. It just wouldn't feel right without a shifter."
The top speed is governed to 55 miles per hour. And in its current configuration, the driving range is limited to in-town use, about 30 miles per charge via its lead acid battery pack. But the seller says range could be extended to about 50 or 60 miles, with the addition of another half-dozen battery cells—at an estimated cost of about $1,000.
This EV is truly one-of-a-kind. "The car gets a lot of attention and is great publicity for a business," writes the seller. But most of all, it's a gorgeous drive. "There is nothing on earth like riding in this car on a warm afternoon with the top down. A silent whoosh, birds chirping as she speeds along," he writes. "There no better way to clear the mind, and heart."

Named after a song by Norma Jean, this map is completely and 100% interlocked and asymetrical. I've never really done an asymetrical map before, and im very excited with how this came out. Its a medium size level, a little smaller than midship i suppose. I was influenced by a few maps by users like Brute Captain & Tex, so im sure you'll see things in there that you recognize in part. Blaze814 actually did ANYTHING involving a fencewall in this map for me, and since im sure those will be the hits of the map, make sure you give him the praise. I planned this out rigorously and built VERY close to what i had down on paper, and when it was 95% done, Blaze took it and gave some of the not so awesome areas a smack of awesomesauce. Heres hoping you love it! [VERSION 4.0 CHANGES]- fusion coil respawn time- gametype fixes- spawn points modified- removed KOTH & Capture The Flag- Built walls higher- weapon balancing- added respawn areas THIS WILL BE THE FINAL VERSION.

Desperate Housewives star Neal McDonough and his wife Ruvé Robertson brought their two children – son Morgan, 3 1/2, and daughter Catherine 'Cate' Maggie, 2 – to the premiere of Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure in LA on Saturday (Sept. 26).
It looks like congratulations are in order! Although no official announcement has been made, the couple appear to be expecting their third child.


text: Here is what I have gleaned about this conversion from the power of the interweb. To change from drums to discs on my 1973 open knuckle half-ton Dana 44, I can use Chevy backing plates and calipers, a Scout II rotor, and a Ford F-150 hub. This will allow me to use the stock stub shafts and spindles. I can also use Chevy spindles and stub shafts and a F-150 rotor. I could swap out my front axle for a Dodge Dana 44 with the correct bolt pattern. I could swap in a Chevy front axle and use F-150 hubs and rotors to give it the correct 5 lug bolt pattern. All Chevy parts must be the older, small bearing style. Jeff Jamison and Tom Mandera, does all this sound correct? Most of my info comes from your posts. Thanks Dave

Thanks Dave for the reply, Sorry you must think I'm a 24 Carat Moron but since there is no documentation, this is actually becoming interesting - especially since thousands of users before me have started-up with pdadmin apparently without problems. But my thoughts at the moment are as follows... 1. If at the outset I'm simply creating a server (just a name) for my own use in which to put databases at a later date, then this server has initially no relationship with any databases anywhere. That comes later !!! 2. So why the password problems ??? Again the question - is a password mandatory for a "newly created" server. No the password must relate to the user (in my case "postgres") and not the server. 3. But I am then asked for a HOST. So this "server" can only relate to a specific machine and a specific user but NOT a specific postmaster (various versions i.e. various postmasters can run on a single machine at any time so indicating the HOST is NOT unique ???). AND NONE OF THIS IS IN THE DOCUMENTATION !!! 30 years ago my girlfriend was working at DEC (digital equipment corp.) in Munich, writing documentation and as an ICT Instructor I worked with her on various projects. At the time the motto was to write documentation for "den duemmsten anzunehmenden Benutzer" (translated - the thickest user one could reasonably assume). DECs documentation was universally acclaimed as being the "industry best" and they saved themselves a fortune on Telephone Helpdesk services - there was no email at the time. Of course you can never defend yourself from users that think that RTFM doesn't apply to them - but then I don't see myself as that kind of user. On the contrary - being only of average intelligence I rely on good documentation. I wonder how much the flow of mailinglist correspondence could be reduced (thereby reducing the irritation between mailinglist members) if one were to apply DECs approach to documentation to the open source world. I have offered my services but no-one has taken me up on the offer. In any case if all of this were in the documentation. Then I wouldn't be getting on everyone's nerves - incl. my own. To come back to your hint... Because you specified "localhost", pgAdmin is using a tcp/ip connection. psql probably defaulted to a Unix socket, which is typically setup in Postgres to use ident authentication by default. If you replace 'localhost' with the directory containing the Unix socket (typically '/tmp', but it may be different on Debian), then it too should authenticate using ident. Alternatively, modify pg_hba.conf to allow "trust" authentication from localhost, but that's a potential security risk. I am crrently reading through postgres-8.0-A4.pdf 19. Client - 281 19.1. The pg_hba.conf - 281 19.2. Authentication methods - 285 19.2.1. Trust authentication - 285 19.2.2. Password authentication - 286 19.2.3. Kerberos authentication - 286 19.2.4. Ident-based authentication - 287 22.214.171.124. Ident Authentication over TCP/IP - 287 188.8.131.52. Ident Authentication over Local Sockets - 288 18.104.22.168. Ident Maps - 288 The following paragraph nailed down the problem. On your assumption that the default was UNIX sockets, I changed the first line from # Database administrative login by UNIX sockets local all postgres ident sameuser to local all postgres trust And the little bugger did what it was supposed to do. Since the pg_hba.conf records are examined sequentially for each connection attempt, the order of the records is significant. Typically, earlier records will have tight connection match parameters and weaker authentication methods, while later records will have looser match parameters and stronger authentication methods. For example, one might wish to use trust Authentication for local TCP/IP connections but require a password for remote TCP/IP connections. In this case a record specifying trust authentication for connections from 127.0.0.1 would appear before a record specifying password authentication for a wider range of allowed client IP addresses. /tmp offers no idication as to where the default connection method is defined and strangely the pg_ident.conf file is empty Thanks again Dave Regards from sunny Uganda Dragonfish

The wonderful folks over at Nerve.com interviewed me and a few other socialite's on some of our sex and relationship tips. I'm in good company – the other socialite's featured are Ann Dexter-Jones, Anthony Haden-Guest, and Esther Nash. You'll also get a quick glimpse of the me, albeit in an older photo.
Here's a little preview:
Have you ever fucked "below your station?" Oh Lord, who hasn't? A few times it was to rebel against my family. The best way to piss mother off is to bring your unfavorable boy-toy home to a family dinner.
Would you recommend doing it? Of course you should do it. Just because a man isn't on your same level doesn't necessarily mean he's any less of a man. Plus, at some point someone will be fucking you below his or her station, so why not share the wealth?
Many thanks to Alexis Tirado and Nerve.com.

Knowledge and Power
January 8, 2014
In last week's Thoughts from the Frontline I talked about the Age of Transformation, attempting to refute Robert's Gordon rather stark and gloomy view of the future growth potential of the economy. That letter generated a rather significant amount of reader response, both pro and con, as not everyone agrees with my decidedly optimistic long-term view of the future. It might be fun and thought-provoking, in fact, to do a letter that deals with some of the issues you raised. I really do have some of the smartest readers of any economics and investing letter out there.
Inside what was a long letter even for me, I buried a few quotes from George Gilder's latest book, Knowledge and Power. I am not simply reading this book, I am thinking through it, as some of what he writes is truly pivotal for my own thought process.
For this week's Outside the Box, George has graciously allowed me to reproduce chapters 1 and 3 from his book. It helps that George is a gifted wordsmith and a raconteur of the highest order. He doesn't bury his insights in dry economics-speak that demands intense concentration if you are to stay focused on the topic. Rather, he draws you into and through the topic, until you find yourself on a delightful Slip 'n Slide of thought. I think you will get a lot out of reading these chapters, and I strongly suggest you consider reading the whole book. It is an important one.
I write this note as I am wrapping up three days of meetings with my partners at Altegris Investments and Mauldin Economics, focusing on how to deliver better products and services to you. And we've enjoyed a few late-night conversations about where the world is going and how to surf the inevitable and the profitable.

Vacant homes policy brings Chicago big cash
An initial review suggests that Chicago's revised vacant property ordinance is bringing in a lot cash to the city, and that it's helping city officials keep better count of the number of homes sitting vacant. The statistics, contained in a letter from Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to Alderman Pat Dowell (3rd) were the city's first quarterly report on the effectiveness of the ordinance since it went into effect in November.
The numbers show that Chicago collected $619,000 in fines from financial institutions during the first quarter of 2012. That's more than double what the city collected in the same period last year. The number of vacant homes that are officially registered with the Department of Buildings also swelled. Last year 2,833 vacant properties were registered between November and April. Emanuel's letter stated: "In the past six months, with the new ordinance, the number of vacant properties that became registered with the City nearly doubled to 4,436."
"I think the ordinance did what it was supposed to do," said Dowell, "which was to make the banks and other financial institutions responsible for the properties that they're responsible for in our neighborhoods."
Dowell spearheaded the effort at City Hall to make lenders responsible for the costs of securing and maintaining vacant homes when their owners disappear. The changes invited a federal lawsuit that the City is now fighting, filed by the Federal Housing Finance Agency on behalf of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
"Holding financial institutions accountable will ultimately lead to safer and stronger communities throughout the City of Chicago," wrote Emanuel.
Under the revised ordinance, lenders are required to pay $500 to register vacant properties with the city's Department of Buildings when their owners fail to, and to pay between $500 and $1000 per day for violations of the city code.
Still, the preliminary analysis shows that the ordinance may need more time before Chicago has a full grasp of the size of the vacant property problem caused by the foreclosure crisis. A study last year by the Woodstock Institute estimated more than 18,000 Chicago homes are vacant.

1. Dobry Den!
The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library is located in Cedar Rapids. It was founded in 1974 by a group of second and third-generation descendants of Czech immigrants. In 1995, Czech President Václav Havel, Slovak President Michal Kovác and U.S. President Bill Clinton presided over the museum's new building dedication.
2. An Island In the Middle of Iowa
Mays Island is a small island in the Cedar River. Cedar Rapids is one of just a handful of cities in the world (think Paris's Île de la Cité) with government offices on a municipal island.
3. It's Number Two
It's the second largest city in Iowa, with just under 130,000 residents. Des Moines has nearly 210,000.
4. Forget The Shire; This Is Frodo's Hometown
The city doesn't like to boast, but it's a hometown to some pretty famous actors, including Elijah Wood, Ashton Kutcher, Ron Livingston, Bobby Driscoll and Michael Emerson.
5. It's Rockin' The Suburbs
As Cedar Rapids has grown, its borders have expanded, and its surrounding small towns have become suburbs or bedroom communities. These include Atkins, Bertram, Ely, Fairfax, Hiawatha, Marion, Palo, Robins, Shueyville, Swisher and Walford.
6. It's Home To A Longstanding Muslim Community
The first Muslims arrived in the area in 1895, from the Bekaa Valley in what is today Lebanon and Syria. Islamic Services of America, which provides Halal Certification services, was established in Cedar Rapids in 1975. The Mother Mosque of America, dedicated in 1934 and located just west of the Cedar River, is the longest standing mosque in North America.
7. It's Back To Nature
Long before Iowa became farmland, it was a vast expanse of prairie. On the edge of Cedar Rapids, Indian Creek Nature Center aims to preserve and protect natural wildlife and plant habitats, while giving visitors a chance to learn more about the environment and the nature surrounding them. Visitors can explore trails through prairie, wetlands and woodlands, as well as check out special displays and exhibits.
8. It's American Gothic
Painted by Grant Wood in his home and studio in Cedar Rapids in 1930, American Gothic may be the most iconic painting in the United States. The studio is now owned by the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, which houses the largest collection of Wood's work in the world.
9. It's In Your Gas Tank
Cedar Rapids is home to one of Archer Daniels Midland's largest plants, which produces 420 million gallons of ethanol a year, more than any other plant in the country. Other grain processors have facilities in the city as well, including Cargill, General Mills and Quaker Oats.
10. The City That Has Five Seasons
Throughout the city, you may notice a design that looks kind of like a stylized tree. That is the symbol for the "City of Five Seasons," a tagline the city uses. The five seasons are, of course, spring, summer, fall and winter, and the fifth is a reminder to enjoy all the seasons, and to enjoy life.
11. Its Dining Scene Is Top Notch
Every city has an "It" restaurant – a little classy, and with excellent food. In Cedar Rapids, that restaurant is Zins. The menu offers tapas-like small plates, main courses and an excellent wine selection. It has won the hearts of the locals in the best way possible, through their stomachs.
12. It Has Roots In Flight
Orville and Wilber Wright may have tested their theories of flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, but their imaginations of flight began in 1878, when their family moved to Cedar Rapids. Their father, a bishop with the Church of the Brethren, was assigned to a post in Cedar Rapids. He gave the boys a helicopter-like toy, which flew around the room using a rubber band. The boys loved the toy, and even duplicated it a number of times before moving to Dayton, Ohio, where they eventually built their historic airplane.
13. Just For A Little While, Pretend This Is Your House
Everyone loves to explore an old mansion, and Cedar Rapids has one of the best. Brucemore is Iowa's only National Trust Historic Site. It offers tours, holds special events throughout the year, and also hosts musical and fine arts performances. Its grounds are also beautiful, and a great place to take a stroll.
14. You Can Go Back In Time
If visiting Brucemore has whet your appetite for more historical touring, Cedar Rapids has you covered. Ushers Ferry Historic Village is home to 20 historic buildings, set on 10 acres, that depict life in a small Iowa town between 1890 and 1910.
15. Get Your Jog (Or Stroll) On
This mid-sized city has more recreational space than most big cities. With 74 parks, four golf courses and six swimming pools (not to mention the athletic fields, pavilions and playgrounds within), you have no excuse not to take advantage of some recreational time.

16. Share In The Bounty
Thanks to a growing farm-to-table movement, farmers markets everywhere seem to be growing. But Cedar Rapids was holding a farmers market long before anyone heard of the word "locavore." Its market has been around in one form or another since 1902. Today there are two markets, the Noelridge Farmers' Market and the Downtown Farmers' Market.
17. Frank Was Here
The Douglas and Charlotte Grant House in Marion is a Usonian home designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It was constructed in 1946.
18. Go Read A Book … To A Dog
The Cedar Rapids Public Library has two branches, Downtown and the Ladd Library, on the city's southwest side. It offers programs for everyone from toddlers, to teens and beyond.
