text: 000 FXUS63 KGRR 200215 AFDGRR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 1015 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 LATEST UPDATE... Update .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 330 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 A few showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue into this evening over South Central Lower Michigan. These are expected to diminish sometime after midnight. Expect all areas to see fog develop late tonight into early Wednesday. A weak cold front will bring the chance of more scattered showers and storms Wednesday night and again Thursday afternoon. Much of the rest of the week and into early next week looks to be dry. Daily high temperatures are expected to be in the 80s each day, with some locations possibly hitting 90 Friday and Saturday. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1015 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 On the fence about issuing a dense fog advisory for late tonight and Wednesday morning. Believe that some will develop but confidence remains low on how widespread it will become. The area along/near I-94 that had the rain today is currently mostly covered in clouds and should continue to be much of the night (limiting radiation fog potential), but guidance still suggests some lower vsbys developing. Meanwhile it is mostly clear north and west of GRR but this area has slightly lower dew points and was warmer/drier today. This could end up being more of a stratus event vs a widespread dense fog event. Will continue to monitor, but for now no fog headline. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday night) Issued at 330 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 Passing short wave will continue to produce some showers over the SE CWA into tonight. Then isolated convection will be possible with a front Wednesday night, but could linger into Thursday night. A mid level short wave was slowly moving across the CWA this afternoon. I extended the POPs into tonight on the morning update, and this still looks good for areas SE of a Alma to Kalamazoo line. These should diminish toward midnight as the wave exits. Enough boundary moisture and light winds to expect fog development late tonight. Vsbys below a mile seem plausible across the CWA. The fog will probably hold into the Wednesday morning, but conditions should improve toward 10 AM. After a quiet Wednesday a weakening cold front pushes toward the area Wednesday night. Also in this time frame we will see upper ridging attempting to build into the Great Lakes. This will be the battle zone as to while one wins out, the front or the ridge. Expect the best chance of seeing storms from this front will be NW of GRR Wednesday night. The front washes out into Thursday, but some diurnal convection will be possible over the interior CWA Thursday afternoon. Quite a summer-like setup by Thursday night with a large upper high sitting over the southern Great Lakes. Expect steamy conditions with dewpoints reaching 65 to 70. We may become capped by Thursday night, but its possible an isolated storm could occur if the capped is broken. So largely expect dry conditions by Thursday night, but we can not rule out an isolated storm. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Tuesday) Issued at 330 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 Hot and dry are the main themes of the long term period which stretches from Friday through early next week. The pattern is somewhat blocked with tropical systems off the east coast and a trough out across the Western U.S. The Great Lakes will be situated in between with a building ridge overhead. Given this pattern we see little to no chances for rainfall. As for temperatures it is going to feel like deep summer as compared to late September. Record highs in Grand Rapids from Friday through Monday are 90, 90, 91 and 90 respectively. We will be at least near record highs with readings in the upper 80s to around 90 given very high 500mb heights (around 590dm) and 850mb temps between +16C and +20C the entire time. Friday and Saturday may be our warmest days. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening) Issued at 745 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 Confidence is fairly high that widespread IFR/LIFR conditions due to stratus and fog will develop after midnight tonight and linger through mid morning Wednesday. VFR should become commonplace by Wednesday afternoon. && .MARINE... Issued at 330 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 Offshore flow will continue tonight into Wed, when the winds gradually turn more southerly. Speeds are expected to be 15 knots or less keeping waves on the low side. A thunderstorm risk Wed night && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 330 PM EDT Tue Sep 19 2017 Rainfall this morning was fairly light and occurred south of a line from Holland to Lansing. Most rainfall totals were under 0.10 inches, but a few locations did pick up more than 0.25 inches. Weakening low pressure tracking south of the area will continue to provide a chance for showers south of I-96 today. Rainfall this afternoon and evening will be even more hit and miss than this morning. A few locations in Ingham, Jackson, and Calhoun counties could pick up more than a tenth of an inch of new rainfall, however. A weak frontal boundary will provide the next chance for showers or a thunderstorm Wednesday night into Thursday. High confidence then exists with very warm and dry conditions late Friday through the weekend. && .GRR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MI...None.

$10 per spark plug????
Posted 22 December 2006 - 10:20 AM
I wanted to do a basic tuneup on our recently aquired '98 OBW 2.5L and wanted to start with plugs and wires. I got aftermarket wires, but skipped getting plugs for now. The parts store wanted $10 per plug for "laser" platinum OEM style (I think the p/n was PFR5B-11)! Single platinum plugs were under $2 each. Not even Bosch +4's cost as much as the "stock" plug. Did I just happen to find a parts store who thinks their plugs are made of solid gold? I've been working on cars (toyota mainly) for 15 years, but never ever saw a plug costing $10 (not even on Land Rovers).
Posted 22 December 2006 - 10:44 AM
So, I guess I answered my own question!
Posted 22 December 2006 - 10:58 AM
I say do more searching. I thought a lot of people like the copper ngks, I use them in my 2.2....I did this after searching, but that was a year ago. I don't remember anything about lasers
Posted 22 December 2006 - 01:31 PM
G-powers were cheap, maybe 4 bucks a plug. Might be worth a look as an alternative to the lasers. I picked them up at NAPA.

Spark plug wire removal and replacement was a lot easier than I was expecting. I've worked on much more difficult engines than this. I don't know why anyone would want to mess with trying to take the plugs and wires out from up top in the engine bay. The plugs and wires were pretty well in the wide open from below (and I didn't even jack the car up or put it on ramps, but I could have if I felt like it). While it's still a bit cramped to get my hand in the space between the inner fender and valve cover, it was a lot better than trying to snake my way through engine parts, wiring, etc.... I put the wires in from the bottom too. I tried to dangle them down into position from above, but the large boot was binding in the small amount of space. The wires went in much easier from below.
The worst part of the whole job was trying to get my stupid socket wrench from disconnecting from the 3" extension, or the extension from the socket. I used a standard spark plug socket with rubber insert, 3" extension for a 3/8" drive rachet, and a 3/8" rachet. I tried using a swivel joint for a little extra length, but it made it too awkward to get good leverage. As most of you are probably already aware, it's easiest to put the socket in the spark plug hole first, then put the 3" extension in there (and spin it around until it engages with the socket, then keep spinning and pushing in until the socket engages the plug), then put the rachet on. For removal, remove the rachet from the extension, then remove the extension from the socket, then pull the socket out with the plug in it (the rubber socket insert is most helpful for this part).
The plugs were nice looking, no evidence of oil leakage (knock on wood). The plugs were OEM style NGK's, so with 131k I don't know if they are original or not (but probably). There was some funny green corrosion on one of the ignition pack terminals (#2), so I cleaned that off with a wire brush.

Posted 23 December 2006 - 09:21 AM
you made a very, very good decision here. aftermarket cause lots of problems on all EJ series engines.
Well, I ended up buying the OEM laser platinum plugs. I had bought aftermarket wires, but I opted to return them and bought OEM wires at the dealer. The boots are a little too fancy to hope an aftermarket brand got it right.

Posted 31 December 2006 - 05:18 AM
EJ22 is easy, since the plugs point upward :cool:
Posted 31 December 2006 - 01:10 PM
Posted 31 December 2006 - 05:01 PM
Posted 01 January 2007 - 09:30 PM
It was easy enough for me just to go from underneath the car to remove the plugs, that I didn't even put it up on ramps. That turned it into one of the easier spark plug jobs I've done. The only difficulty I personally had was getting my sockets/extensions/rachet to seperate on command.

Crespo equals Maradona's mark for Argentina
MARACAIBO, Venezuela -- The cameras were rolling at Argentina's postgame press conference, the room was hushed, yet the exasperated TV cameramen still couldn't hear what Argentine forward Hernan Crespo had to say. The frustration became so palpable that some were audibly exhorting the Inter Milan striker to speak up. The reluctant star did not oblige, giving his responses in a voice that was as soft as his smile was faint. Not that it mattered to him. Crespo, with two goals in Argentina's 4-1 victory over the United States, was content to let his play speak for itself.
These days, finding Crespo in the spotlight with Argentina is becoming more of a rarity. Most of the buzz surrounding the team is focused on the creative artistry of Juan Roman Riquelme and the dynamic runs of Lionel Messi. Messi in particular, is the current darling of the Argentine public. At the team's hotel, his replica shirt can be seen everywhere, especially in light of the Diego Maradona-like goal he scored for Barcelona against Getafe in this year's Copa del Rey. And while both players showed their quality on Thursday, it was the team's silent assassin, Crespo, who delivered when it mattered most.
After the U.S. had taken a shock 1-0 lead courtesy of Eddie Johnson's ninth-minute penalty, it was Crespo who helped calm his side's nerves when he slammed home a rebound from Riquelme's deft chip just two minutes later. The Argentine forward then nearly put his side ahead just before halftime, when his header from a corner kick was parried away by American keeper Kasey Keller. And with thoughts of a draw beginning to creep into the crowd's thoughts, it was Crespo's authoritative finish in the 64th minute that opened the floodgates, and sent the Albiceleste on their way to a comfortable victory.
That goal was Crespo's 34th for Argentina in international competition, equaling the mark of Diego Maradona himself. Given such a place in the country's soccer history, and after being named Man of the Match for his performance on Thursday, you would think that Crespo would have allowed himself to bask in the afterglow of these achievements. Yet afterwards, Crespo was every bit the humble player that Argentina head coach Alfio Basile appreciates, praising his opponents and quickly diverting attention from his own accomplishments.
"The Americans worked very well tactically," Crespo said through an interpreter. "They managed to limit our space, especially that of Riquelme."
As for equaling Maradona's mark, Crespo added, "For me, it's an honor to equal the number of goals by Diego."
Instead, it was left to Basile to engage the assembled media, not that he minds. The man they call "Coco" has the kind of presence that dominates the room, and he was more than happy to take the spotlight from his reluctant star.
"I thought the Americans tired with the heat," said Basile in his basso-profundo voice that is almost Kissinger-like. "It all worked out in the second half. We tried to play the ball and look for the second goal. When space opened up, things got easier."
Basile also added that he was pleased with his side's calm approach with the score tied.
"It was important that we stayed patient," said Basile. "We stuck to our strategy, and grew as the game went on."
That was especially true of Crespo, at least until the final whistle.

Scottish rock band Texas are taking a raunchy new direction with their upcoming album - by featuring a song inspired by phone sex sessions.
The I DON'T WANT A LOVER group, who have enlisted Tatu producer TREVOR HORN for their comeback album CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, focus on the sexy subject in track TELEPHONE X.
Singer SHARLEEN SPITERI says, "Telephone sex is better than all that really sinister Internet chat-room stuff, that's all I'm saying. But that is a dark sex song and Trevor Horn understood it totally."
And the AOR band believe their new sound will surprise some fans.
Sharleen adds, "This whole album actually connects in strange ways."
The first single from the long player - CARNIVAL GIRL - is released in the UK on 6 October (03).19/08/2003 13:31

The Lutterworth Press was founded as the Religious Tract Society in Georgian London, with its headquarters just off Fleet Street, in order to provide improving literature for young people and adults. Since then it has published many tens of thousands of titles, ranging from small pamphlets for children to erudite academic works.
The Lutterworth Press was the first British publishing house to have branches in Africa and Asia, and part of the publishing programme in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries was the publication of language dictionaries and other works in many indigenous languages.
The Lutterworth Press became well known to generations of British children because of its publication of the Boy's Own Paper and the Girl's Own Paper.
The Lutterworth Press remains committed to high-quality publishing for children and adults, with a particular emphasis on moral values. In an age in which most long-established publishers have been absorbed into faceless multinational groups, it also remains committed to editorial independence.
We publish books in the following areas:
Our current printed catalogues are also available to download in PDF format:

Beer Reduces Cancer-Causing Chemicals in Barbecue
Yup, you read that right. First, scientists discovered that sugars derived from agave might actually be good for you, and now scientists have discovered that marinating your barbecue in beer reduces your exposure to cancer. I'm this close to going on an all alcohol diet.
In a study published in the latest issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Spanish and Portuguese scientists discovered that using a beer-based marinade can greatly reduce the formation of cancer-causing chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are created by high heat and smoking.
Marinades based on dark beer had the greatest effect. Of the three different beers sampled (black beer, pilsner, and non-alcoholic pilsner), the black beer reduced the PAHs the most, by 68 percent when compared to the control. The pilsner came in second, reducing PAHs by 36.5 percent, and the non-alcoholic beer came in third at 29.5 percent.
Scientists aren't sure what is responsible for the effect, but they think the anti-oxidants in the beer may be reacting with the surface of the meat to keep it from creating the PAHs.

If you're craving charred meat but are afraid of cancer, you can take the marinade one step further. The scientists soaked their pork loin in just beer for four hours -- the amount of time it took for surface reactions to stop, but you can add other ingredients that are known to reduce carcinogens, such as rosemary or capsaicin, the wonderful chemical that makes peppers spicy.

You are here
The Italian Collection is a one-of-a-kind mix of mid-20th century paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by a myriad of Italian artists from the postwar period.
Few collectors outside of Italy were collecting this art, making this the only known collection of its kind in the United States. The artistic heritage within this collection is rich and complex. The artists represented here are either from distinct artist-groups or worked alone but all worked within the same time period in the same country and therefore provide a unique window into Italian art and culture of the mid-twentieth century.
Many of the artists knew one another and corresponded during their lifetimes. Along with the donation of art came the personal papers of Dr. Roland Gibson and these include numerous correspondences between the patron and the artist or art dealer giving insight into their personal lives. Together with the art, they offer a truly unique study opportunity for students and scholars. A few notable artists included are:
- Afro Basaldella
- Giuseppe Capogrossi
- Zuran Antoni Music
- Arnoldo & Gio Pomodoro
- Paolo Scheggi
- Valeriano Trubbiani
- Giulio Turcato

SARASOTA - One of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the history of Sarasota County is getting a second look more than four decades later. Authorities are asking for the public's help in trying to determine who stole more than 40 works of art from Ben Stahl's Sarasota art museum in 1969.
Stahl, a renowned artist, opened the museum in 1965 at 7400 S. Tamiami Trail. On the evening of April 16, 1969, someone broke in and stole multiple paintings, including Stahl's depiction of the Stations of the Cross.
Stahl died in 1987.
"When you paint something, it's part of you. When it is taken away and disappears in thin air, it's like a child is gone," said Stahl's daughter, Gail.
According to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, there is little evidence, with the exception of witnesses seeing a white van near the museum at the time of the crime. Authorities hope with the media's help, someone, somewhere, may know something.
According to Gail, in the late 1960's, someone offered her father $1 million for the paintings portraying the Stations of the Cross.
"Do the math. Here we are 44 years later. Those paintings have grown immensely. There is no way to put a value on something so priceless," said Wendy Rose with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
Anyone with information should contact Detective Kim McGath at (941) 861-4928.

Need a little help (trying to conceive)
We have been trying to have another baby, I did have a miscarriage last march it was a ectopic pregnancy. I got my period last month in february on the 20th and had it for 3 days my periods are always short no more then 5 days at that. This month my period did not come till the 23rd (march) so if I caculated right than that is 30 days or 31 days since my last one. I have been having pregnancy symptoms such as tender swollen boobs, fatigue, hormones and getting sick. I know when my period is coming but this month has not felt normal. so is it possible to get a period still if you did get pregnant. My period did not come as heavy as normal, it was very light and not as dark in blood.Any advice?
I agree. First and foremost you need to have a blood test done. If it is negative, then you need to have a conversation with your OB about the changes in your cycle.
Good luck
Enjoy a Coffee Break Chat with us Every Tuesday!
Quoting frndlyfn:
yes it is possible. you need to go have a blood test done.
My sister's period has always been pretty irregular and she was preggers for a long time before she realized she was. She a few "period like days" spotting and whatnot. She had her baby 3 weeks after she found out she was pregnant. Good luck I hope you are!
It's possible. I'ts also possible to convince your body you are pregnant when you are not. Go to the dollar store and pee on a stick.
I had a period for the first month or two of all 4 of my pregnancies, a little lighter/shorter then normal. No idea how common that is or if it's normal, just my experience. Good luck on the baby making :)
Its not a period exactly because your body does not produce eggs during pregnancy but if you concieve close to your cycle then you might bleed for a couple days but it would be much lighter than a usual period. There are other reasons to bleed too like between 6-8 weeks because the placenta is attaching to the uterin wall. Bleeding after 8 weeks is rare unless you are very sensitive and have intercourse or other irritation, like a PAP and carrying twins is another common reason for spotting.
Thank you all for the advice, I ended up getting my period very bad the next day and have been having very bad blood clots, I did talk to a doctor so it may be that my other tube is damaged as well so the doctor is looking into ultrasounds and worse comes to worse the other one must be taken out so that means no more babies for me that makes me really sad because I am almost 22 and only have one child and wish to have another but odds are not in my favor.

"Clean up, clean up, everybody do your
Clean up, clean up, everybody
Barney, the purple dinosaur, has made these words
famous, every age and every where.
Spring is just 10 days away and clean up is at the top
of to do lists, from neighborhoods to small children at a day care
Businesses are clearing away remaining snow from parking
lots, people are cleaning out their houses, preparing for yard sales and
flea markets, and young people are doing yard and lawn clean up.
Hardware and home stores are preparing for upcoming sales on cleaning,
repairing and painting supplies.
Calhoun County will be the host to festivals, Civil War
re-enactments, reunions, and other events that many visitors and friends
will attend. It is time for all of us to do our part in making our homes
and communities something that people will notice, instead of run down
buildings and junky yards.
Sometimes, we look at our places and think, "This is
overwhelming, I don't know where to start." If each person, property
owner or renter will start with one small area, it may influence your
neighbors to do the same.
Remember the old Bible School song:
"You'll bring the one next to you,
and I'll bring the one next to me,
In all kinds of weather, we'll all
work together,
And see what can be done."
Let's join together, everybody, to give Calhoun County a
Spring cleaning!

Zac Efron
Leave it to Zac to somehow look put-together while holding a surfboard award; yeah, we hate ourselves for covering this, too.
Taylor Lautner and Chord Overstreet
Same look, Latuner just nails the fit. When buying a leather jacket, try on a size smaller than you normally wear—ideally it's a tad too snug, because it'll break in over time.
Kevin McHale
We appreciate that McHale puts effort into every red carpet outing, we do; if only the outcome wasn't this.
Flo Rida
This was Fresh when it appeared at the 1994 Teen Choice Awards. All that's missing is the gigantic boombox on his shoulder.
No one's gotta get get that jacket (zing!), and from the slippers to the chain-link jacket to the lapel pin to the rolled-up sleeves that optical illusion of a V-neck tee cum three-piece vest, there's just wayyyy too much novelty for one man here.
Justin Bieber
The love child of Max Headroom, Ellen DeGeneres, and Step Up-era Channing Tatum. No? Too much?
Joe Jonas
JoBro's been reading up on how to take a tux jacket out of the ballroom. Just wish we knew where his shirt end and his pants begin...
Big Sean
It's not a look we here at GQ can pull off—unless French Montana is around, that is—, but the bandanna print T-shirt is cool, personalized touch.
No Doubt
They've been around for what must seem to TCA viewers like a couple millenia, but you've gotta admit, it's given them time to figure out what works, both individually and as a group. Kids, don't Twitpic their Prohibition-era band photos, they're embarrassing.
Shaun White and Dax Sheppard
We're generally wary of untucked dress shirts, unless done absolutely right (see Efron). Untucked shirt with a tie? No need to 1260 on that one (Get it? Get it?), it's definitely a negative.

When do you suppose Mitt will let us in on his secret dramatic plans for the economy?
I think you could find this information rather than posting hyperbolic comments on Web sites.
i'm losing either way, so i'm not really to excited about it
Well, if you liked the way Bush/Cheney governed & the Bush economic policies, by all means you oughta vote for Romney/Ryan. Unfortunately, under their leadership that stuff led directly or indirectly to the lowest job growth in history, a financial meltdown of historic proportions & a war that was disastrous for the country in treasure & lives as well as far reaching effects we'll experience for many years.
Obviously, Ryan is a bright guy that brings both positives & negatives to their ticket, but imo the budget/debt stuff in some ways is alot of political smoke & mirrors crap tryin to ride the earlier TP wave, 2010 elections & all the furor over the debt. Sure there needs to be long term restructuring of SS/medicare but that was always going to be the case & isn't it ironic that much of the growing debt was put in motion initially by the Bush admin & their unfunded wars & economic policies. Seems to me to be more of a bs opportunistic ploy to take advantage of the current situation that was created in large part from the same policies that would be put in place with R/R now - econmically & in foreign affairs. And since when did the repubs care much about healthcare anyhow other than lip service? With Romney/Ryan I would fear a greater likelihood of war or military involvement with the Iran/Israel situation & also a slightly greater chance of another financial collapse. And while raising taxes on the wealthy doesn't come close to solving our debt probs, it's only goin back to Clinton rates we're talking about & cutting taxes in a global economy with all the outsourcing sure as hell doesn't ensure any job growth as we saw under the Bush admin.
Have been disappointed in Obama in some ways, but couldn't dream of voting for Romney & will more than likely vote for Obama or not at all cuz I'm not sure with all the $$ & childish gamesmanship in politics now, it warrants any participation in the game the way it's played now.
Ktrain (#2), well said. We're fucked either way. As I've said, I see no difference in my life whether we've got a democrat or republican in the White House. They're all whoring person that cater to lobbyists.
All we're doing is wasting time, calling people names and finger pointing. I actually kind of WANT Romney to win, just to see this amazing "return" to American glory. We all know by now that Obama is responsible for every negative thing that has ever happened during the history of America, so I guess it'll be good to finally get him out of there. The way he botched the Vietnam War is just inexcusable.
So, I may actually vote for Mitt. Let's see what this born-into-wealth, coddled, privileged, soulless tax-hiding, money-eating, company destroying man of mediocre intelligence can do. I saw on his podium a sign reading something like "plan for the middle class," so, whew, I'm fully reassured that he does care very much for the common people.
Let's get him elected. Do all you rightwingers promise to smash your nuts with a hammer when, 3 years into Mitt's presidency, the country is broke as ever, no real jobs are created, and we're in the exact same bleak fog as we are now?

TAMPA — Jefferson (4-4) capped off its homecoming week with a 79-0 win over Leto (0-9) Friday night.
The Dragons offense was unstoppable from the first snap of the game, totaling 417 yards on the night. The passing game took center stage, amassing more than 300 yards.
Quarterback Deiondre Porter threw 153 yards and four touchdowns, hooking up with his favorite target, Marquell Jackson, on three scores, including a 30-yard TD and a 40-yard reception to set up another score.
With only five first downs converted, the Falcons offense never got on track to break out a score. Quarterback Michael Serra was just 2 of 9 passing for 18 yards and three interceptions. The Dragons defense played allowed just 5 yards via the ground.
After halftime, the Dragons picked right up where they left off. Starting on their own 45, they quickly scored two plays later on a nice throw from Tyler Small to Shaquille Speights for a 50-yard touchdown to go up 64-0.

A 25-YEAR-OLD woman has appeared in court for breaching an anti-social behaviour order on the day it was reported in the Lancashire telegraph.
Blackburn magistrates heard Samantha Jones sent a text message to one of her neighbours who featured in the newspaper article demanding to know what she had said to reporters.
The court heard that under the terms of the order Jones was prohibited from having any contact with Samantha Kelly and a number of other neighbours on the St Margaret's Way housing estate, Audley, Blackburn.
Jones pleaded guilty to breach of the ASBO and breach of bail conditions in respect of a denied racially aggravated public order offence.
She was fined £75 with £105 costs which was lodged against time spent in custody.
The court heard the order had been made at Hyndburn Magistrates Court but Jones had not been present. She was subsequently served with the order.
Under the terms of the two year order she is banned from inciting others to act in an anti-social manner.
She must not cause harassment, stress or alarm by using threatening or racial language.
She is banned from playing music at a volume which could be heard outside her home and must not be drunk or illegally intoxicated in public.
She is also prohibited from contacting neighbours.
Michael Blacklidge, defending, said when the story about the ASBO appeared on the front page of the Lancashire Telegraph, Jones had been shown a copy and taunted about it.
"People were effectively rubbing her nose in it," said Mr Blacklidge.
"She bought a copy to see what people were saying about her and accepts that she then sent some text messages because she was angry.
"The simple solution to the mess she has got herself into would be for her to move house but that is not as easy as it sounds," said Mr Blacklidge.

Whether heading off to work or out to play, pet parents love bringing four-legged family members along for the ride. While putting on our own seatbelts may be second nature, we sometimes forget to make sure our four-legged co-worker or playmate is secured, too.
Having pets loose in the vehicle can be more than a dangerous driving distraction; it can pose a serious threat to your pet's safety —not to mention your own — in the event of an accident. In many states, transporting an unrestrained pet can trigger a hefty fine, while other states have banned pets from riding on owners' laps.
To ensure that all travelers arrive safely at their destination, work one of these options into your commute:
crate or carrier: A carrier adds another layer of protection to your pet in an accident, but be sure it is secured. Most small carriers have a strap or handle to loop a seatbelt through.
To secure a larger crate, try using bungee cords or (if possible) bolting it down inside the vehicle's cargo area.
pet safety harnesses or seat belts: These harnesses are designed to work with your car's back seat safety restraints. Several options are available, but the jury is still out on which design is best. Do your research before deciding on a harness for your pet; the Center for Pet Safety (centerforpetsafety.org) is a good place to start.
Hitting the road with your pet can be a blast, but it's not all fun and games. Take proper precautions to help the whole family stay safe and secure.

My Abstract art is an alternative way for me to express my visual language of form, color and line to create a composition that places greater emphasis on a
visual sensation than on a depiction of recognizable, realistic objects. Most of my paintings are done using pigmented paints that I hand grind and mix with
special mediums to form my own unique color palette. Abstraction itself has been my subject matter for decades. Not an easily understood expression of painting,
the observers must be able to comprehend and struggle for meaning in what is said, what is implied, and what is never completely described. Artworks available

ToDo for iPhone and iPad Review: So Happy Together
The subject of this review is ToDo, the GTD (Get Things Done) system from Appigo. There are actually two ToDo apps, one for iPhone and one for iPad. Each is a phenomenal app by itself, but the two work even better together.
ToDo (that's "too-doo" BTW, not "toh-doh") is a GTD app, a "to-do list" just like the name implies. It has a full-featured set of options for creating tasks, groups of tasks, multi-step projects, and checklists of items. ToDo lets you track and organize your to-do list and also to sync your tasks between your iDevices and either the Appigo Sync program installed on your dock computer, or an online Toodledo account.
ToDo for iPad. Even though it was the second of the pair released, I have quickly come to think of ToDo for iPad as the "base" application of the ToDo system. It is a full-featured app with a great-looking interface and the screen real-estate to be truly functional.
Like the best GTD apps, ToDo gives you a host of options for creating, organizing, and tracking tasks. Because ToDo offers a range of task management and grouping options, I can create a functional and–more importantly for me–quick-glance picture of my day and week. It's got all sorts of prioritizing, flagging, and sorting options as well, so that I can keep key tasks where they'll draw my attention first.
In addition, everything about the way ToDo for iPad is designed lends itself to easy use. I like to set up tasks on the iPad partly because of the visual benefits. With the iPad's bigger screen and fuller layout, I can see everything at once, giving me a quick and accurate picture of what my week is going to look like. And, it feels a bit funny to type it, but the calendar book design actually helps me take the app seriously. The design helps as a visual metaphor for me to say to myself, "Okay, this is my week, and this is what I have to do today." Maybe I'm just a sucker for a good visual.
For anyone looking to get a good GTD app for their iPad, ToDo is a great choice.
ToDo for iPhone. If ToDo for iPad is my calendar book, then ToDo for iPhone is the paper list I carry in my pocket. Eschewing the graphical conceit of the iPad version, the classic ToDo app presents itself in clean, straightforward iPhone aesthetic.
In terms of function, everything you can do in the iPad app, you can do in the iPhone version. They're equally functional; in fact, in a lot of ways it's like working with a universal app. However, i have got to say that, after using the iPad version, I don't like creating tasks on the iPhone version quite as much. If I need to, I can, for it is exactly as fully functional as it's companion app; but since I do most of my task management on the iPad version, I treat the iPhone app as more of an extension, something to remind me of what needs to be done.
Make no mistake though: ToDo for iPhone is fully featured and an absolutely fine choice for a stand-alone GTD app on your iPhone.
Better Together. Each of these apps is an excellent tool by itself. But I have really grown to love the combo of iPhone and iPad apps, along with my Toodledo account. If you own both devices and need a GTD solution that's easy to use and super-effective, then you really can't go wrong here. Personally, I need a good GTD system to keep me on track, and ToDo has delivered in spades.
Currently, both app are available for $4.99 each, making the pair cheaper than some single task management apps. Since the price for the iPhone app used to be $10 and the iPad app might easily end up at an a higher price point, I highly recommend getting both apps while this sale is still on. Even if you adopt them after the sale is over, however, they will still be worth the price of admission.
Our score: 5/5 for each app.

I think I've tracked down the problem, although I haven't been able to get a stack trace yet. I'm afraid that it's my own stupidity, but I still don't understand why this crashes the entire engine. On the collection table, I have a FTS index. I probably should have defined the index this way: create index ix_collection_name_fts on collection using gin(to_tsvector('english', name)); but instead I defined it this way: create index ix_collection_name_fts on collection using gin(to_tsvector(get_fts_config_name(), name)); where the definition of the function is: create or replace function get_fts_config_name() returns regconfig as $$ select setting::regconfig from pg_settings where name = 'default_text_search_config'; $$ language sql immutable; Once I remove the bad FTS index and replaced it with the good index, the server no longer crashes. Reading about immutable functions here [http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/xfunc-volatility.html], made it sound like the only problem with making a volatile function immutable is that the query planner might do the wrong thing. I didn't realize it could have such drastic results... Is it still worth getting a stack trace or is this just a don't-ever-do-that thing?

text: Adam, the thing I described works flawlessly here. Personally I don't use Netscape (I use GNUs) but my family does. I wanted a possibility to check all (every user's) mail at once and automatically when our common machine goes online, and it works. The recent fetchmail gets unseen msgs only, unless you specify -a (all msgs, seen or not). Note that I said (or meant) in my original posting I have turned off automatic retrieval in Netscape. If you combine Netscape and Xbiff or anything else that tells you new mail has arrived and have a little discipline, you will be able to avoid most Netscape crashes if I got you right: just don't hit the "Get msg"-button if there's no new mail. This is no work-around for the usual hangs when Netscape expects to be online in order to display any non-local Browser Start page. Try "Browser starts with: Blank page". As for the performance argument, Netscape seems to retrieve msgs very very fast indeed. You don't need "Send later" any more and I don't know what happens if you use it. I suspect some Netscape thing will be done that should be avoided if you ever want your msg to get delivered to anybody ;). "Send" does what you want: queue into exim.

If you've been following the ongoing Deepwater Horizon oil spill response effort in the Gulf of Mexico, you probably know that NOAA is playing a big supporting role to help contain the spreading oil and in protecting the Gulf's marine life.
NOAA's involvement is pretty expansive – it ranges from providing scientific expertise to the Coast Guard and Unified Command, to identifying short- and long-term impacts on the Gulf's ecosystems, to keeping seafood safe, to protecting wildlife and habitats.
While we can't cover all of these activities in this short podcast, we can hone in on the activities of one NOAA office that's critically important to this effort -- the Ocean Service's Office of Response and Restoration.
And to help us do that, we're going to hear from Doug Helton today, a Response and Restoration expert who has been part of the Gulf oil spill response effort from day one. Stay tuned.
It's Thursday, August 5th, and you're listening to Making Waves from NOAA's National Ocean Service.
(Interview with NOS Office of Response & Restoration's Doug Helton)
We're joined in this episode by Doug Helton, Response and Restoration's Incident Operations Coordinator. We reached Doug by telephone last week in Houma, Louisiana, where he's currently deployed in support of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response effort.
What exactly does an incident operations coordinator do? Doug said that the bulk of his job is spent at office headquarters in Seattle, where he makes sure the NOAA staff working on-scene in the Gulf -- and at other spill sites around the country -- have the resources they need to do their jobs. But he's also spent a lot of time on-scene in the Gulf over the past few months on the frontline of the oil spill response effort. We started out by asking him what he's now doing in Louisiana.
"It's a little bit of a transition. I was doing shoreline assessments. NOAA helps with surveying where the oil is along shorelines and helps to prioritize how to clean up those shorelines. That's a team effort along with representatives of the state, along with BP and the Federal government. So I was the federal rep one of the survey teams, and then today I'm transitioning to being scientific support within the Houma Louisiana command post."
Doug said that Response and Restoration has two major roles in this spill. The first is to be a science advisor to the Coast Guard, and the second is to conduct studies and evaluations to determine what's been harmed and what it's going to take to restore the resources that have been injured.
For Deepwater Horizon, Response and Restoration experts can also be thought of as the glue tying together all the different parts of NOAA's involvement. They're part of what's called the Unified Command -- a structure set up to link together the many organizations responding to the incident, and a forum for these agencies to reach a consensus. Their job is to represent NOAA and to ensure that the best possible science is used in the decision-making process throughout the spill response.
"There are a lot of facets to it. The core mission for my office is to do the big picture forecasting of where's the oil's going to go, how long it's going to take to get to the shore, and then what kinds of harm it might cause when it gets to the shore, or while it's a sea. And that's used to help guide how best to clean it up and how best to treat those shorelines, so it includes a whole bunch of subsets, including helping to provide the weather support -- we don't obviously do that ourselves, but we help ensure this service is plugged in and provided to the unified command. We work with National Marine Fisheries Service to make sure that fisheries issues are on the table when decisions are made about how to treat the spill or how to clean up the shorelines. And we work with other parts of the agency to sort of be the conduit of science into the command post."
Doug said that this work is engaging just about the entire staff of the Office of Response and Restoration – around 110 people nationwide, including support staff. The demand is so great that the office has recalled at least a half a dozen retirees with previous oil spill experience. And the office has brought in NOAA staff from other parts of the agency to help backfill positions because so many people are deployed to the Gulf.
"We have a very small team. You know, the Coast Guard has a very large organization, the Department of the Interior is a much larger organization, and NOAA's got a small core team with the Office of Response and Restoration, but it's very much augmented and strengthened by reaching into the rest of NOAA. So we have almost every line office in NOAA involved in supporting -- if not here, then doing so from their home offices. So, critical information coming in from the satellite service, critical support from fisheries, and every day the decisions that are made in the operational response are based on the weather service's forecasts. The NOAA Corps is doing a great job of providing all the assets like aircraft and ships to help with the survey work, so pretty much every part of the agency is contributing, and it's a pretty amazing thing to see."
So what's the state of the spill now? Well, now that the Deepwater Horizon well has been capped for several weeks, you might think that the response effort might begin to wind down. While Doug said the overall Unified command structure will likely downsize to some extent over the coming months, it's important to remember that the oil only stopped gushing into the Gulf a couple of weeks ago. For most spills, he said, the job is only beginning at this point.
"In some ways this is when we typically start a spill, you know when a ship runs aground it might puncture a hold and spill oil for a few hours, and then the release period is over, and then the rest of the response is dealing with the oil as spreads, as it hits shorelines. We're now at that point where the release is secured, but we still have floating oil out there, we still have oil on shorelines."
But he added that there is some good news -- it appears that a lot of the oil is dispersing and degrading naturally.
"There's been some reports in the news that the oil is dispersing or degrading more readily than anticipated. We suspected all along that this oil was going to disperse and degrade in various ways. Those would include the oil, when it's released at the source, starts to dissolve in the water column and disperse naturally; when it reaches the surface, we have a very warm climate -- every day it's close to 100 degrees -- that, combined with lots of sunlight, helps to degrade the oil; and the oil spreads into very thin layers once it reaches the surface, and those are very vulnerable to evaporation and to photo-oxygenization of the oil. So there are a lot of processes that will help to degrade the oil. Once that source was secured, we could see that the surface expression of the oil is degrading and dispersing very rapidly, but there's still concern about oil that dissolved in the water column and dispersed in small droplets, so we're continuing to study that."
He said that lessons learned from experience with previous spills plays a big role in guiding projections about what we might expect to happen with this spill. And there's many decades of shared experience among the scientific support staff from Response and Restoration. Doug alone has been responding to major spills for 18 years. He recalled one spill he worked on back in 1990 in Galveston, Texas. It involved a Norwegian tank vessel called the Mega Borg. An explosion in the pump room of this ship led to a spill of about 4.2 million gallons of oil.
"... that was a very light crude, there was a fire involved with that one -- a lot of oil burned off, a lot evaporated, with relatively minor shoreline effects, but it gave us an idea of how a light crude might behave in the summertime in this kind of environment. And that's one of many spills. My office responds to a couple of hundred of spills a year, so each of those gives you some inference and some expectation about how oil's going to behave in a different environment and different location."
Experience with other spills also sheds light on how oil may affect shorelines along the Gulf. Consider the many sandy shores along the Gulf Coast, for instance. How might spilled oil affect these areas, and what should we expect if hurricanes roll through the region?
"We have some expectations from other spills what kinds of impacts might persist, and one of those is we still have a lot of oiled shoreline. Some of the shorelines are sandy, and when you have storm events like the passing of a hurricane or even a smaller tropical storm, you stir up that sand and deposit clean sand on top of the oiled sand.
That, he said, could result in buried oil on some of the sand beaches. But, of course, not all Gulf coast is sandy shoreline.
"We also know that there's oil in a lot of the marshes and that can persist for some time as well. So they'll be continued impacts in those areas, but we're also seeing, we're entering into the peak of the hurricane season, and some of those shorelines will be eroded, and that oil will be mixed and degraded by more wave energy as we go through the hurricane season."
Doug said that a big part of understanding the potential impact of the oil in different coastal areas requires careful study. The key is to understand the unique physical and biological nature of each shoreline where oil comes ashore.
"So, is it a vegetative shoreline, a sandy shoreline, is it a below-energy shoreline like a protected bay or estuary, or is an open coastal area. Those physical and biological features will help us understand what kind of resources live there and what might be affected by the spill, and what might be affected by the clean-up operation itself."
While teams continue to study potential impacts of dissolved oil in the water column and the effects of oil gathered along coastal shorelines, he said that there's also a lot of work to do in the coming months related to demobilization of equipment as operations start to scale down.
"We also have the issue, because the spill response has been going on almost 100 days now, we have 100 days of equipment that's been mobilized, and a lot of efforts that will slowly need to be demobilized -- all the areas that were boomed with sorbent booms and hard booms along the shoreline in areas where there isn't oil, those will now have to be removed and recovered."
But perhaps one of the biggest challenged faced by Response and Restoration is that the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is not their only responsibility -- the office provides scientific support for all major ocean and coastal spills around the nation -- and while the response effort continues in the Gulf, new spills are happening elsewhere around the country.
"Yesterday, we had three other spills that we were activated on, and one here in Louisiana, two in the Great Lakes region, and one in Alaska. So we're busy with other incidents -- those aren't stopping because this one's going on. We typically respond to 180-200 incidents a year. That's a huge challenge trying to maintain that level of service other parts of the country is a big issue, because almost all of our responders are here in Louisiana or in command posts in Mobile or Florida."
So that gives you a taste of some of the scientific expertise brought to bear and some of the challenges faced by NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration. What's in store for the future? Well, it's impossible to say for sure at this point, but one thing is certain: Response and Restoration teams -- along with other NOAA offices, other federal agencies, BP, state and local partners -- are going to be involved with clean-up and restoration in the region for a long, long time to come.
"I think that the response workers still have several months of work and the clean up won't be complete, but we'll certainly be downsized this winter. There may be a need for spot teams to come back and work through the winter and spring and next summer as more problematic areas like cleaning up the marshes and some of these shorelines proceed. But I think that the command post will downsize quite a lot. On the assessment side, things are still wrapping up, and I would expect the assessment and restoration process will take at least several years and maybe longer."
As we noted at the beginning of the episode, we've only touched on a small part of NOAA's involvement with this massive spill response effort. If you want to learn more, head to deepwaterhorizon.noaa.gov for the latest NOAA news, information, data, and maps. The official federal portal for the oil spill response and recovery effort is at restorethegulf.gov.
And we'd like to thank Doug Helton, Incident Operations Coordinator with the Office of Response and Restoration, for taking the time out of his extremely busy schedule to speak with us.
And that's all for this week.

Would Thailand Opt for an Exchange-Rate Target?
Hints that the Federal Reserve would start winding down its massive bond-buying program have sent shockwaves through Thai markets in recent months, sparking an outflow of funds that sent local stocks, bonds and the baht currency plunging.
It also sparked some unusual policy proposals – including a call for Thailand's central bank to stop targeting inflation and focus instead on maintaining a stable exchange rate.
The Bank of Thailand uses interest rates to keep core prices within a desired range, currently set at 0.5%-3.0%. But Supavud Saicheua, executive director and head of research at Bangkok-based brokerage Phatra Securities Plc, says a monetary policy regime focused on the exchange rate would be far more effective for a relatively small, trade-dependent economy.

CHARITIES and community groups in Salisbury have been awarded funding from a pot of £25,664 by Salisbury Area Board.
A group of residents in St Mark's Road were awarded £888 to replace ten trees, Churches Together received £1,000 for an exhibition of 20th century art at the library and Bemerton Methodist Church was awarded £948 for Kneaded, a weekly bread making group.
There was also £750 for Harnham Schools Travels Group to revise and update its travel leaflet, £890 for the start up costs of a new blind choir and £326 for an area board-led project involving the production of a flyer geared at raising awareness of autism.
The Friary Transitions Group received £350 to fund a facilitated youth group and Salisbury Quakers were awarded £870 to put on a free event promoting greener living.
Due to the total amount of funding requested being slightly above the overall budget, those grants for more than £1,000 were reduced pro rata in line with the remaining budget, leaving applicants with around 90 per cent of the amount they requested.
Thus VisitWiltshire received almost £2,700 for an out of county marketing campaign on a theme of Ten Great Reasons to Visit Salisbury, and inclusion in VisitEngland's national Romantic Heritage Cities campaign, together with a "high quality" Salisbury map and piece of print to be distributed nationally and locally.
St Francis Church, St Mark's Pre-School and a Salisbury Arts Centre project entitled The Odyssey each received around £4,500.
St Francis Church is planning to redevelop the external area of its rebuilt hall, providing an area for young people of the parish to take part in outdoor activities while St Mark's Pre-School, which is relocating to its own premises on the school site of Wyndham Park, is looking to provide an outdoor learning environment.
The Odyssey will be a street-based project in the Bemerton Heath area involving 22 sessions teaching young people film skills. Those successfully completing the workshops, around scriptwriting and production techniques, will gain a GCSE-level qualification.
Finally, an area board initiative aimed at making Salisbury a plastic bag free city was awarded about £3,500. It will see 2,500 recyclable cloth bags delivered to schools.

Star billing for Spanish horses at Olympia
A group of dancing Spanish horses will make a rare trip to Britain later this year, as one of the star attractions of the London International Horse Show at Olympia.
It is the first time in 40 years that the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art – one of only four 'High Schools' of its kind in the world – has crossed the channel. The school attracts visitors from around the world to its home in Jerez De La Frontera, in south-west Spain.
The other schools are the famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna, the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art and The Cadre Noir in Saumur, France.
At Olympia this December, the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art will bring a touch of Spanish magic to one of the oldest shows on the international circuit.
The school's famous equestrian ballet show is titled 'How the Andalusian Horses Dance' and combines classic dressage with Doma vaquero, the traditional working riding discipline of Spain. The display is brought to life by vibrant Spanish music and authentic 18th-century style costumes.
The stunning white and bay stallions used by the school are all pure Spanish PRE (Pura Raza Española) horses. The breed has been native to the Iberian Peninsula for 3000 years and their poise and nobility made them a tool of diplomacy by the Spanish government and used by Kings across Europe for centuries.
Today, they are renowned for their agility and striking beauty, with their strong but elegant build and long, thick manes and tails. Each horse at the Andalusian school must complete at least four years of training before they are fully capable of mastering the complicated techniques and ready to perform in front of an audience.
The Royal Andalusian School will be thrilling the crowd twice a day throughout the Olympia week, from DEcember 16 to 22, in a shortened version of their famous show. On Monday, December 16, Olympia is presenting 'The High School Gala Evening' which will give visitors the opportunity to see the school's full exhibition. The complete repertoire will include technical and intricate equestrian moves in advanced dressage, traditional Spanish country skills, driving and work in-hand. A show-stopping group display of horses and riders finally come together in unison to complete the magnificent performance.
The repetoire will include:
- Doma vaquera: The rider drives the horse around the arena using only one hand, from trotting to galloping, changing rhythm and performing pirouettes and arreones. These are movements needed in the country when handling cattle herds.
- Classical dressage: Horses carry out advanced equestrian exercises, always in time with pieces of classical music which accompany them.
- Driving: A demonstration of the exciting skills of carriage driving. These horse-drawn carriages, originally used for transport but these days relegated to sport and exhibitions, are driven by coachmen using classical harnesses.
- Work in hand: Classical high school dressage exercises such as levade, capriole, courbette, piaffe (between pillars), the Spanish walk and long rein, all completed by the horse with the rider on foot.
- Carrousel: A group of horses and riders, in unison, perform advanced equestrian exercises in the arena to provide a most fitting end to the performance.
Tickets for Olympia start at £35 each and discounts for groups, children and concessions apply for certain performances.
