More energy price rises
One more sign of increasing energy prices next year.
Energy companies are quite canny with fixed tariffs. They'll be better than us at forecasting future energy prices, not necessarily because of their contacts and secret wholesale costs, but because they put up prices whenever they can get away with it, and they know better when that time is coming.
This means we should treat fixed deals with caution. Consider the fixed-price deals right now:
Fixed tariffs available to a dual-fuel user
(showing the cheapest tariff from each supplier that is available to a high-energy user in Farnborough)
Fix until
E.ON Fix Online v3
Dec 2010
£30 penalty till Dec 2010
Ovo Energy New Energy
12 months (so, perhaps till mid-Nov 2010 if you switch today)
£60 penalty for 12 months
npower Go Fix XL v1
Dec 2010
£105 penalty for 12 months*
EDF Energy (and Sainsbury's Energy) Annual Fix v4
September 2010
£50 penalty till September 2010
Scottish Power Fix n Flex Online
July 2010
£50 penalty till July 2010
British Gas Price Promise June 2010
June 2010
£70 penalty till June 2010
*All tie-ins are cancellation charges that you'll pay if you switch before the end of the fixed deal, except for npower's two fixed tariffs. npower's penalty is a loss of cashback that you'd get after 12 months.
The Cost column shows the total estimated bill for this high-energy user. It includes all cashback and discounts that apply after a year, because the vast majority of people switch less than once a year. (All energy comparison sites also include annual discounts and cashback in their quotes, as per the rules agreed in their code of conduct.)
The Fix until column is how long the fixed-deal lasts before you're moved to an expensive variable tariff.
The Tie-in column tells you the penalty you'll pay to leave before a specified date. That date is usually the end date of the fixed deal. You shouldn't pay a penalty if you leave a deal as a result of a home move (but it may be that you'll still face loss of significant cashback in the case of npower).
How do these compare?
The cheapest tariff varies depending on where we live and our usage, so you should run your own energy comparison. The cheapest fixed tariff for my high user, shown in the table above, is E.ON Fix Online v3, at £1,300. For comparison, the cheapest variable tariff for this person is first:utility iSave dual fuel v1, costing £1,260.
That fix seems a good price. Paying £40 more in one year doesn't seem like a great premium for security. The timing also seems pretty good. It's nearly winter, which means we should be switching now, so that we can get cheaper prices just as we need our heating and lighting more.
Can you sense the 'however' coming? There is one, but first let me talk a little about prices.
Energy companies raise prices
Historical price changes confirm that suppliers will always try to raise prices as much as they can, when they can. It's what energy companies do best. In particular they try to raise them as winter arrives. It would have been too dangerous for them to try this strategy this year, because they were out of arguments for doing so, but they usually have quite a few arguments and are already talking about the next rises and how quickly they must bring them in.
They will have many excuses to raise prices throughout 2010, such as rising oil prices, the massive need for infrastructural investment, and investment in greener technologies. I would expect suppliers to raise prices at the earliest opportunity next year, which means as soon as they've got people and the regulator used to the idea that prices must rise.
Evidence of winter 2010 rises
Remember I said the fix seems a good price but you should expect a 'however'? Well here it is. However...
In the table above we have more evidence that we can expect some big increases sometime after summer next year (which isn't to say we won't have rises before then, too). Do you notice something strange about the lengths of the fixed deals? As you go down the table, the cost gets higher, but the fix gets shorter. Surely it should be the other way round? Prices are expected to rise over the longer term, so longer fixes should cost more, right?
Yet the cheaper deals are longer, tying you in until winter 2010 is in full swing. However, the deals get more expensive the earlier they end. The cheapest ends in December, the one ending in September costs £200 more, and those ending in summer cost £300 more.
This says to me that suppliers are expecting prices to go up after summer 2010. They're happy for you to take the longer deals, because you'll come off your fix right in time to land on the most expensive variable prices during peak usage season. If you take a shorter deal, you'll be in a more flexible position whilst prices are shifting, but you'll be forced to pay a higher price in the meantime.
Perhaps in December some suppliers will score good PR by telling those coming off fixes that they won't increase their tariffs (or not by as much as standard users). That may sound nice to the customer, but it may simply be because they already paid over the odds for a year.
Remember, the energy companies are likely to know better than us what to expect in the future, so we have to look hard to find the rare fixed deals that end up saving us money. I think that the cheapest fix in my table, E.ON's, might just be cheap enough. It is just £3 extra per month after all. The rest look expensive.

If anything today in global social life is truly democratic, it is the world of shared imagery on the internet. This unique moment of imagery of what is a universal human event has gone viral, seen now by millions all over the world, and has elicited mostly praise for its humanity as a symbol of a generous caring act by one of the world's few remaining icons, a movie celebrity. That photographers and their work get lost in the firmament, is not something to celebrate in the same way or degree apparently by todays connected global audience. Even though the iconic today is so momentary, so fleeting as the fast moving stream of digital images passes by, is the almost forgotten world of my early years that is no longer carried into this digital age a loss? Is the very democratic nature of a digital media that is global at the price of any individual photographer and their works never achieving the stature of iconic recognition, any great loss?
That today's top rated professional and fine art photographer do not achieve iconic name recognition is no reflection of their talent, skill or image qualities, it is just the nature of the modern digital era culture beast, and the fact the old media, like Life magazine no longer exists, nor anything like it can possible dominate must be accepted as part of the scene today. But as an old timer looking at this cultural scene today and the fact there are no photography icons like Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, W.Eugene Smith, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon or Sam Haskins, I find this personally disheartening. Because, as a young photographer these icons of photography and their images provided me with inspiration and inadvertent guidance, direction in an otherwise unmapped terrain as to how one could progress as a photographer. How a young photographer today finds and identifies with role models to emulate is not so easy as it was 50 years ago and much more confusing with so many images replicated in so many media with little distinction made between what is aesthetically and technically good and what is trash. I just hope the youngest generation of photography hopefuls have more powerful and acute antennae and a much more confident sense of self than what most of us enjoyed back 50 years ago.

The triple deadline week is now over so things should start to go back to normal. The first thing I did when I got some free time was check out my Google Analytics to see who has been linking my content. I was happy to see there was some new link love. I was worried that my traffic and incoming links would have gone down since I didn't post in a while, but that was not the case.
While I was looking them over, one of the new links stood out to me. It was from a blog post called "50 Ways to Use Bacon†on StartCooking.com. I was hoping my bacon pants were one of the 50 ways.
As I was going through the list I saw a lot of familiar faces like Heather from Bacon Unwrapped and the blog Bacon Show (just to name a few). I was happy to see that my post on the Bacon Cupcake was #10 on the list. After reading the rest I felt there were a few uses of bacon missing.
Here are my additions to the list:
Promotional Tool – You can give bacon away free as a promotional tool like the Harris Grill in Pittsburgh does on Tuesday nights.
Life Saver – In the event of a heart attack the nitrates in bacon could save your life.
Getting Dates – If you read my post on Bacon pickup lines you will score some dates in no time. I swear Taco Bell is reading my blog. Did you see their latest commercial? I think their marketing department should give me a call.
Check out the rest of the list and see if you can find anything else they missed. That might be easier said than done since it is a pretty comprehensive list.

Pam Anderson Makes Me Wonder If She Knows What Getting Married Is
At a news conference about her new online poker site, Pamela anderson announced that she planned on getting married at least four times this month to Kid Rock, in four different places. One of those venues will be St. Tropez in France. Pam also said, "We had to do Malibu, we've got to do Detroit, and we've got to do Nashville."
I feel like maybe Pam thinks getting married is like getting a tattoo, or riding a rollercoaster.
Or maybe she figures any fear of commitment from her husband-to-be will be completely squeezed out by the fourth, "I do." Perhaps making him commit to her four different times in four different places will ensure that this marriage actually sticks. My God, she's brilliant.

The woman accused of killing six people during a drunken-driving crash in Diamond Bar is expected to be arraigned this afternoon in Pomona Superior Court.
Olivia Carolee Culbreath, 21, of Fontana has been charged with six counts of murder in the deaths of Gregorio Mejia-Martinez, 47; Leticia Ibarra, 42; Jessica Jasmine Mejia, 20; and Ester Delgado, all of Huntington Park; Kristin Melissa Young, 21, of Chino; and her sister, Maya Louise Culbreath, 24, of Rialto.
Olivia Culbreath was hospitalized with serious injuries following the Feb. 9 wrong-way crash on the 60 Freeway. She was transferred to Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles earlier this month.
California Highway Patrol officers said Culbreath was driving her red Chevrolet Camaro the wrong way on the westbound 60 Freeway when she slammed into a Ford Explorer. All occupants of the Explorer died, as did Culbreath's two passengers.

Recently the Gyalwang Karmapa went through a medical examination in Germany, his doctor strongly advise him to stop all Dharma propagation activities so that he has more time and space to treat some of the medical conditions that he has. After much consideration, the Gyalwang Karmapa decided to cancel this year's Asia Dharma Teaching, i.e. the Diamond Sutra Teaching.
When we heard about the Gyalwang Karmapa's decision to cancel the teaching, our emotions evolved from unspeakable shock to calm contemplation. Eventually, we understand the difficulty and necessity to make such a decision. We will continue to pray that the Diamond Sutra Teaching to be held in future, yet we are unsure when and where the teaching will be held. Therefore, we will begin the refund process for those who had registered for the teaching after we had negotiated with the hotel for refund.
Even though we feel a sense of regret that the Diamond Sutra Teaching cannot be held, yet we understand and support the Gyalwang Karmapa's decision. Through the lesson of Diamond Sutra, we learnt that all conditioned phenomena in its continuous change, are like dreams, illusions, bubbles and shadows. Perhaps, this is the first lesson taught to us by the Gyalwang Karmapa.
Regarding matters related to refund, please follow the instructions below:
(1) We will contact you with email.
(2) If you do not receive any email please contact us.
We are currently actively negotiating with the hotel regarding refund matters. We will gather the details of refund from you and will arrange for refund of payment to you as soon as possible. Please be patient with us. Fellow Dharma friends may make arrangements for other matters such as cancellation of flight tickets and delaying of visa applications.
Thank you for your kind understanding. Kindly forgive us for any inconvenience caused.
Yours sincerely,
The Diamond Sutra Teaching Organizing Committee

James Franklin Battin (February 13, 1925 – September 27, 1996) was a Republican U.S. Representative from the U.S. state of Montana, and later a United States federal judge.
Born in Wichita, Kansas, Battin moved with his parents to Montana in November 1929. He was educated in the public schools of Billings, then the third largest city in the state, graduating from high school there in 1942. He enlisted in the United States Navy and served for three years, two and a half years of which were in the Pacific theater of operations. He returned to his studies and graduated in 1948 from Eastern Montana College in Billings.
He received a J.D. from George Washington University Law School in 1951, and was in private practice of law in Washington, D.C. from 1951 to 1952, then in Billings from 1953 to 1960. He was a deputy county attorney of Yellowstone County, Montana from 1953 to 1955, then general counsel and secretary of the City-County Planning Board of Billings in 1955. In 1955 he became an assistant city attorney of Billings, and was the city attorney from 1957 to 1958. He served as member of the Montana House of Representatives in 1958 and 1959.
Battin was elected as a Republican to the Eighty-seventh and to the three succeeding Congresses, and served from January 3, 1961, until his resignation February 27, 1969, to become United States district judge. He was nominated by President Richard M. Nixon on February 20, 1969, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Montana vacated by William James Jameson. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on February 25, 1969, and received his commission on February 27, 1969.
He became chief judge of the District on November 16, 1978, and served as chief judge until 1990. He assumed senior status on February 13, 1990, and served in that capacity until his death, in Billings. The James F. Battin Courthouse in Billings is named for him. Battin lived long enough to see his son, Jim, elected to the California State Assembly in 1994 but did not live to see his son's two reelections to the Assembly nor his son's election to two terms in the California State Senate.
One of the cases that Battin handled was the conviction of four counts of extortion of the Louisiana Teamsters Union business agent Edward Grady Partin, the one who supplied the immunized testimony that sent Jimmy Hoffa to prison.[1]

A late buy program triggered just in the nick of time and propelled the market to another strong finish. We had a couple intraday dips but they didn't last long as underinvested bulls seized the opportunity and put money to work. Many big funds prefer to buy pullbacks but they are so few and far between that the buyers don't even wait for red before they jump in on a downtick.
The action under the surface looked a bit weaker in places but Google (GOOG), Apple (AAPL), IBM (IBM) and a number of other big-caps covered it up quite well. We even had bounce action in beaten down names like Cliffs Natural (CLF) and all major sectors were green by the close.
We are now up 12 of the last 14 days, which is obviously a very strong trend -- so strong that even the top callers are hesitating. This market is running over not only the bears but bulls that don't move fast enough to keep up.
There is no choice but to continue to respect the trend. Anyone who has been trying to fight this market is in a very deep hole. If you insist on a bearish stance, stick to cash rather than shorts.
Have a good evening. I'll see you tomorrow.

Take Refuge in the Charts
- Forget the indices when the market acts like this.
A couple of minor dips were bought quickly as the market keeps chugging along without a worry in the world. Despite the positive action, I am seeing poor-acting small-caps, but big-cap leadership more than makes up for it.
What is so challenging about this market is that you have to respect the strength, but it can extremely difficult to buy when we are straight up for almost three weeks. Certainly, it is "good" action because stocks continue to run up, but that doesn't necessarily mean it is buyable action. I always find it a bit puzzling when people say that it's a great market, but they aren't buying anything. In my mind, a great market is one that is offering good buys -- and that sure isn't the case right now. It is great if you are fully invested and just riding the trend, but for traders who want new opportunities, it is becoming downright tedious.
I am wrestling with a very high disgust level as this market offers so little opportunity. It is always worse when the media is celebrating a market that is almost unbuyable, which feels like the case today. When I feel this way, I like to take refuge in the charts and forget the indices. Usually, if I dig long enough I'll find something of interest, but it is definitely very slim pickings and won't change until this market has some sort of shakeup.

The Price of Discipline
- I can't put cash to work in this unending rally.
The slow, steady, slog higher continues. There was a minor dip at the open but that seems to generate an automatic buy reflex. Dip buyers are consistently rewarded, so they automatically jump in as soon as there is a little red.
The indices aren't flying higher so far but the buying support is impressive. Breadth is slightly positive but there continues to be little fear of downside. Biotechnology and precious metals are bouncing back after weakness Tuesday but homebuilders and oil are a bit sluggish. Big-cap names Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) continue to lead.
I have a few small-caps that are acting poorly but YY Inc. (YY), my stock of the week, continues to act well and I'm tracking Security National Financial (SNFCA), which was a big winner in January and seems to be inching up into its earnings report. I'm still unhappy with my inability to put cash to work, but that is the price of discipline.
At the time of publication, long YY and SNFCA, although positions may change at any time.

The Power of Make-Believe
- The way to make money in this market is to pretend you love it.
We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. --Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
It is becoming difficult to find new adjectives to describe the strength of the market uptrend. We are hitting new highs on a regular basis and it seems downright foolish to think that anything that can stop this rampage.
Typically, a market that acts like this would be generating excitement but, like many of the rallies since the 2009 low, there is little enthusiasm and many market players are downright disgusted with the way this market acts. If you want to make money, you have to pretend to love this market, even if you don't.
That is not easy to do because not only has the mood been sour but also volume is light and the action has an artificial feel to many market players. Seldom do markets this strong generate so much criticism and unhappiness, but that appears to be the new normal. In 20 years of trading, I don't ever recall a market hitting new highs that is so unloved.
The great irony is that the lack of positive feeling probably helps keep the trend going. It is classic "climb the wall of worry" action. Market players don't like the market but they feel left out so they keep inching in. The higher it goes, the more pressure there is to put cash to work, and that maintains a very strong bid.
The thought process of many trades is that the action feels artificial and unjustified. But if you want to make money, you have no choice but to embrace the trend. This is what I've been saying often lately as there really is no alternative.
There are bears who think the power of their logic is going to eventual prevail, but the level of pain while they wait for the market to shift is just too great. An anticipatory approach, especially a bearish one, has been a recipe for disaster in this market.
Even if you are bullish and embrace the trend, this market is extremely challenging. When we run up 11 of the last 13 days there just aren't many good entry points left. There are few bases and nothing seems to have time to consolidate. To put cash to work you have to chase and be willing to buy less than ideal charts. There are momentum players who don't mind buying overbought stocks and they have done well but those who are looking for normal volatility to set up entries have been very disappointed.
Although I'd really like to write that the market action is about to change and there will be more trading opportunities, I see nothing to support that idea. The way this market functions now, we have to keep looking for a slow, low-volume drift higher with every shallow dip bought immediately.
Buy-and-hold has been the best approach. If you are an active trader, you just have to respect the trend and keep looking for new opportunities.
The market will eventually shift, but we never know when. Embrace this market as best you can and don't change your stance until there is a change in the price action.

World confronted by 'new type of war': German president
German President Joachim Gauck said Sunday the world is confronted with a "new type of war" perpetrated by terrorists bent on killing those who refuse to follow their "barbaric ideology".
"We live in times when we are mourning victims of a new type of war. These are victims of malicious murderous gangs," said Gauck, after Friday's attacks in Paris which claimed 129 lives.
"They are terrorists, who in the name of Islamist fundamentalism are fighting against democracy, against universal values and also against Muslims who refuse to follow their barbaric ideology," said the president at Germany's Memorial Day commemorating the victims of World War I and II.
Gauck, a former Lutheran pastor, said however that "those who perpetrate or condone these acts must know that the community of democracy is stronger than international hatred.
"We bow our heads before the dead, but never will we bow down before terror," he said.

Woman Whose Face Was Crushed By ATV Warns Of Dangers
A 21-year-old woman's life changed in an instant as the ATV she was riding flipped on top of her.
Sarah Wood was riding an ATV with her boyfriend, Jacob Workman, on Oct. 16, when she crashed while riding down a hill by herself.
"I just caught the ruts wrong, the front wheels got caught and flipped me over," Wood said. "I remember looking down and thinking, 'Oh no!'"
The ATV landed on Wood's head and shattered the bones in her face below her eye sockets.
Workman kept his girlfriend conscious.
"I knew I had to get her out of there," Workman said.
Within minutes, a helicopter took her from the off-road trail where they were riding in New Lexington to Grant Medical Center in Columbus.
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him," Wood said. "He's been a big rock for me. He's helped push me. He hasn't left my side."
Sandy Wood, Sarah's mother, said that she was speechless after she saw the x-rays of her daughter's face.
"I got that one phone call that no parent ever wants to get," Sandy Wood said.
Sandy said that her daughter was not wearing a helmet at the time of the crash – a mistake that she does not want others to make.
"We have all learned from this," Sandy said. "We've all ridden without helmets, and you never think it's going to happen to you or one of yours, and it's a wake-up call."
Sarah said that she was lucky.
"Six inches lower, I would have probably broken my neck. Higher, and I would have brain damage," Sarah said.
So far, Sarah has gone through four surgeries and faces many more in the future.
Doctors say she has made so much progress in the last two weeks that she was able to leave the hospital today.
"It's just a big lift off my shoulders," Sarah said. "It just feels good to know that I've been able to make it this far this quickly."
Sarah said that she is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from her friends and family. Many people are keeping in touch and expressing their well wishes through a special Facebook page.
Sarah does not have health insurance. The family is planning a number of benefits in Sarah's honor to raise money to pay for her current and future medical bills.

Castrol launches world's first player rankings system
Who is the greatest footballer in Europe?
While other football rankings are based on opinion, Castrol have applied objective analysis and highly advanced technology to measure every pass, every tackle and every single move of over 2000 players and games every year. It will, they say, at last draw a line under the age-old debate about who are the best performing players.
The Castrol Rankings are updated on a rolling monthly basis so football fans can regularly check whether Kaká is really out-performing Gerrard, or whether Messi is proving more effective than Thierry Henry, by visiting. Fans can also customise the Castrol Rankings by player nationality, position or club, allowing them to compare the players or teams they support.
Ronaldo signalled his intent to top the rankings. He currently sits third behind Barcelona pairing Thierry Henry and Lionel Messi but the Real Madrid man only has eyes for one spot. He said: "The Castrol Rankings is the ranking that every player wants to top. If you can be number one on the Castrol Rankings there can be no arguments, as it is based on fact, not opinion. That's why I'm aiming for the number one spot – to prove I'm the best!"
The Castrol Rankings will be available on ESPN Soccernet from Friday, October 30.

Like so many people in New York and around the world, we are excited that the New York Marathon is back this year and stronger than ever. Last year, the Marathon was cancelled in the wake of Super Storm Sandy. During that time, the Airbnb community rallied to help provide free or reduced price housing to thousands of people who were displaced by the storm or visiting town with nowhere dry to stay.
This year, we are thrilled that our community is opening up their homes for happier reasons. Airbnb hosts in all five boroughs will be hosting runners and visitors who are coming to New York to participate in this great tradition.
Airbnb helps thousands of world travelers visit New York every single day, but our community is particularly important when New York plays host to big events like the Marathon. New York has about 100,000 hotel rooms, but more than two million people will participate in Marathon weekend—many to run in the race, others to cheer them on.
Regular New Yorkers hosting Airbnb guests near the Marathon course in all five boroughs will earn about $1 million this weekend, and local businesses will take in even more. Airbnb guests who stay in the outer boroughs don't just sleep there, they spend there as well. So countless local diners, stores, and other businesses will benefit, as they do every day. And Marathon weekend guests will be from all around the world: this weekend, 73% of Airbnb guests in New York will hail from a foreign country.
We're always working to tell people more about how the Airbnb community makes New York stronger and we've put together a short infographic on Airbnb and the Marathon. Check it out and be sure to share it with anyone who needs to know more about Airbnb. We know that the more people learn about the Airbnb community, the more they love us.

I ran a few numbers on Miller since his return. With little surprise, this is what I found out.
In Reggie's first 9 games back, that is upto & including the Christmas day game against the Pistons.
Reggie played 326 total minutes for an average of 36.2 mpg
He was a combined 63-131 (.480) from the field. Taking an average of 14.5 attempts per game. That breaks down to 1 shot every 2:29.
In the next 7 games, including the game against the Suns.
Reggie has played 223 total minutes for an average of 31.8 mpg.
He is a combined 27-61 (.442) from the field. Taking an average of 8.7 attempts per game. That breaks down to 1 shot every 3:39
First 9 games: ------------------ Last 7 games:
36.2 mpg ----------------------- 31.8 mpg
.480 fg% ----------------------- .442 fg%
14.5 attempts per game --------- 8.7 attempts per game
1 shot every 2:29 --------------- 1 shot every 3:39
With out a SF that can take over a game & is willing to step up, we need a SG to do that. Once again Reggie has stepped aside & showed that he no longer is willing or able to do that.
Reggie, if you gonna play with the word Indiana across your chest, you have to go out there & help this team win.
You have to stop waiting for others to do it.
You keep playing & putting up numbers like you have the past 7 games, we will continue to loose.
Foster & Harrison can't be expected to carry us.
Curry has never been that type player.
Tinsley can but the team is better when he thinks pass first & looks for his shot only as a second option.
That leaves you.
Only you!
Until Jackson returns & gets into game shape, you are it.
Even then we will need your help to take pressure off Jermaine, Foster & Harrison down low.
You want an example why.
Against the Spurs you were 3-7 in 37 minutes. That left O'Neal to face double teams most of the night & he was only 12-30 for .400. That is more than 7% off his season average.
You want us to win?
You want a shot at a ring?
Shoot the damn ball!

A legal help center at the Ingham County Courthouse closes due to a funding shortfall
The Access to Justice Center was a quiet part of the Ingham County Courthouse, just a collection of brochures, packets and forms and a solitary employee. But those papers and that employee saw thousands of people come in over the past six years seeking advice on how to represent themselves in court.
But, moments like this may never occur again at the Ingham County Courthouse. The center closed its doors Sept. 1.
"There are few things as thoroughly rewarding, as an attorney, as seeing someone who was crying, frightened and defeated when they first came in to meet with you leave your office smiling, newly armed with the information and knowledge they need to take back control of their life, their safety, and the safety of their children," Scott said.
The center was managed and funded by the Legal Services of South Central Michigan's Lansing office, which provides free legal representation for low-income people. Legal Services was hampered by two significant funding cuts in April. Angela Tripp, managing attorney for Legal Services' Lansing office, said that the decision to cut the center was made to redirect funds to Legal Services.
The center was designed to be a self-help desk at the courthouse to assist people who were representing themselves and could not get specific legal advice or representation. Scott said one of the most notable things about the center is that it helped people of all demographics.
"What united them was a need to navigate the court system and the desire to do so with a bit of legal expertise on their side," he said.
While Tripp and her office created and distributed pamphlets and funded the center, Scott worked at the courthouse to offer additional guidance to people seeking information from the center. He said he personally assisted nearly 5,000 individuals in matters of family law, landlord tenant law, collections, small claims and other civil matters.
He said he saw a sharp increase in visitors to the center over the past 12 months and noticed that deteriorating economic conditions increased the number of people choosing to represent themselves — pro se — rather than pay for a lawyer.
Those who do not qualify for representation from Legal Services can access some of the forms and pamphlets the center provided at the Ingham County Clerk's office, which is located inside the courthouse in downtown Lansing.
Scott said he is concerned because many of their more unique and nuanced materials will no longer be available. He said that the loss of center would leave many people in the area without the support and guidance.

Organisers of the season's United States Grand Prix have assured that the track would be ready in time for the country's first Formula 1 event since 2007.
Construction of the Circuit of the Americas is currently underway in Austin, Texas for the race scheduled in November in what will be the penultimate round of the year.
"We're in the time of year now where we've a lot of daylight and no rain, and so we're making more progress than we even thought we'd make," Circuit of the Americas president Steve Sexton told Reuters.
As is with any new circuit in recent history, doubts emerged whether the venue would be ready in time although Sexton was certain that there would no real hiccups.
"We anticipate there will be small-scale last-minute details. We don't anticipate any large last-minute approval that will be necessary," he said.
F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has been kept up to date by the organisers regarding the progress of the 5.5km track.
"He seems happy at the moment but there's nothing the matter with high standards," Sexton pointed out. "He drives a hard bargain but with the same token he has a great respect for the people that he works with and thus the venues have a great respect for him."
F1 is not the only event Circuit of the Americas is trying to reel in, with V8 Supercars and IndyCar are among several motorsport series it was hoping to host in the future.
"The business plan was not built entirely on Formula 1 profit. It was built on the profit of a year round operation with four to five major motorsport events, and Formula 1 being the signature event," Sexton explained.
"Almost... every other major motorsports series has approached us to talk about racing because of where we are located. Texas is a big state, very attractive, 20 million people within 250 miles," he added.

The Metropolitan Topeka Airport Authority will have a slightly reduced mill levy next year.
The MTAA board on Tuesday unanimously approved a 2015 budget that relies on a 2.042 mill levy — down from this year's mill levy of 2.044. That represents a 2 cent reduction on the property taxes for a $100,000 home.
The reduced mill levy is in line with a goal established early on by the five-member MTAA board not to increase its burden on taxpayers next year.
Board chairman Sam Carkhuff described the tax decrease as good news.
"The bad news for our budget is that we are no longer going to have United Airlines here to help with some of our revenue-generating activities," he said. "But we did not anticipate that in the budget anyway."
United on July 23 announced it would end its twice-daily trips to Chicago in September, after just eight months of the service.
The budget was approved shortly after the 3 p.m. meeting started. A public hearing on the budget started at 2:30 and was concluded three minutes later, after no one stepped forward to offer input.
While part of the decrease can be attributed to a $9 million increase in Shawnee County's assessed property valuations, the rest is because of the MTAA's efforts to cut costs wherever possible, president Eric Johnson said previously.
One expensive need for next year's budget is a second infusion toward a multimillion dollar runway project. The MTAA budget includes $400,000 toward that cost in 2015. The agency will have to budget for the cost in 2016 as well, but after that the board anticipates reducing its mill levy accordingly.
The airport's contribution to the $20 million project currently is estimated at $1.6 million to $2 million. So far, the MTAA has set aside $1.5 million toward the runway project.
The 2015 budget authority comes to $6.66 million, $3.15 million of which would come from property taxes. The 2.042 mill levy is an estimate, that will be finalized after the county establishes its assessed valuations on Nov. 1.
The board hopes to get that mill levy even lower by increasing revenues, especially in light of the income lost with United leaving. The board Tuesday expressed a renewed interest in finding a property lease manager, reaching a consensus to offer a higher salary and financial incentives to fill space at both the Topeka Regional and Billard business parks.
Monthly lease income dropped in to $112,108 in July, down from the 10-year peak of $132,760 in January 2010.

IBD or PSC
Subjects will be men and women, 18 to 84 years of age, inclusive, who are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer.
Detailed Description:
This is a prospective, cross sectional, multi-center study to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test for detecting CRC alone and in combination with high grade dysplasia (HGD) and low grade dysplasia (LGD) associated with IBD and advanced adenoma in IBD patients with disease duration greater than 8 years or PSC diagnosis. Enrolled subjects will provide a single stool sample for the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test, no sooner than 7 days following their most recent pre-enrollment colonoscopy, within 30 days of enrollment and prior to initiating bowel prep for either the post-enrollment colonoscopy (surveillance or repeat), or surgical intervention. Stool samples will be tested using the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test and results compared to the colonoscopy and corresponding diagnostic histopathology results from biopsied, and any subsequently excised, lesions to establish sensitivity and specificity of the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test. All post-enrollment colonoscopies or surgical interventions must be performed within 60 days of enrollment.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test for CRC in IBD patients with disease duration of at least eight years or diagnosis of PSC. Tissue diagnosis of CRC will be established by histopathology examination. The secondary objective is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Exact IBD-ACRN surveillance test to detect ACRN in IBD patients with disease duration of at least eight years or diagnosis of PSC.
Enrollment will continue until at least 35 CRC; 15 HGD and 315 negative subject samples have been obtained. There is no specific recruitment goal for IBD associated LGD or LGD associated with advanced adenoma (AA).

If you watch "Bones" then you've probably already seen "The Finder." After debuting on "Bones" as a backdoor pilot, "The Finder" debuted earlier this year as defacto spinoff series.
Geoff Stults plays Walter Sherman, a man with a gift for locating lost items and Michael Clarke Duncan is his close friend and muscle, Leo Knox. Fox presented "The Finder" to the Television Critics Association and after the panel, I went up to Duncan and Stults to ask some questions. They riffed for a while and Duncan revealed that he is obsessed with trailers.
CraveOnline: How did it feel to lie down on a runway in the pilot?
Geoff Stults: Isn't that kind of fun? It was a trip. That was in the middle of the Everglades and people were saying they saw alligators running around on it. It was actually built as an emergency landing strip for the shuttle so it was extra long and it was super wide. It was a trip just to lay down there and do that thing.
CraveOnline: Did you feel the history when you were on the ground?
Geoff Stults: You just feel kind of exposed because it's the middle of nowhere. I liked it, it was a fun thing. And what I did too, at lunch I stole one of the picture cars, the Porsche. It was a mile runway and in a mile I saw how fast I could get it going and I think I was up to 120. They weren't happy about it but I had a great time.
CraveOnline: What were your favorite objects to find?
Geoff Stults: That's the great thing about the show is we can find anything and go anywhere. We've found a sweaty pair of socks. I've found a serial killer, I've found Cinderella, I've found lost record tracks. It's been all across the board so every new episode is fun. This voodoo doll we're doing right now, it's been great.
CraveOnline: How important was doing the episode of "Bones" to introduce "The Finder"?
Michael Clarke Duncan: I just like hanging around David Boreanaz's trailer. His trailer's humongous. Ours are like VWs. His is like a Bentley on steroids. It is huge, it is nice and we just go there and rub it. We rub his trailer and we creepily stand outside and go, like, "One day…"
Geoff Stults: Then they call the "Bones" security and we go, "Oh sh**, go, go, go, go."
Michael Clarke Duncan: No, it was important. David Boreanaz is actually a very good director and he directed one of our episodes. Excellent director, knew exactly what he wanted. We never had long days with David. He was great, he knew exactly what he wanted and he's a fantastic director.
Geoff Stults: As far as the importance of doing "Bones," we joke around but all kidding aside, we refer to "Bones" as varsity and we are JV. We are born from "Bones." We're not "Bones." I think part of the reason that we're not "Bones" is the actors on "The Finder" aren't smart enough to say the words that the actors on "Bones" have to say. It's too much so we have to fill it up with some action so we don't have to talk as much.
Michael Clarke Duncan: But you know what, if you think about it, if "Bones" does not come back, where those trailers go? We get the trailers.
Geoff Stults: Why move 'em? We can just push them on over into our slots.
Michael Clarke Duncan: That's right. If they don't come back they've gotta do something with those two trailers. I got David's. I like his.
CraveOnline: Would "The Finder" make a good crossover with "Touch"? You could help Kiefer find some of the people he's looking for.
Geoff Stults: Hey, whatever to do with Kiefer I'll do it. First of all, I keep having to shoot this down because he wants to do it so badly. He wants to do a crossover with "Glee" because he wants to do singing and dancing.
Michael Clarke Duncan: I want to do a solo song and dance.
Geoff Stults: This guy can dance. For a big man, he can move. Free to the foot is what we like to call him.
Michael Clarke Duncan: I think I'd do pretty good on "Glee" singing.
Geoff Stults: Hell yeah, you've got a good voice.
Michael Clarke Duncan: I know.
CraveOnline: Michael you've been saying for years you wanted to do television, but you wanted to do "24." How did that not happen? Can't your agent just say, "We have an Oscar nominated actor who wants to do your show?"
Michael Clarke Duncan: I'll tell you, I blew "24." I blew that. I went over to have a meeting with the guys, [Howard] Gordon and those guys and on the inside I'm saying, "God, this is CTU!" but outside I'm being cool.
Geoff Stults: He's pretending like he didn't want it. No, I'm good.
Michael Clarke Duncan: Yeah, but all of a sudden a white van pulls up and to me Jack Bauer got out. It was Kiefer Sutherland but to me I saw Jack Bauer getting out and I reached over to him and grabbed his hand and just kept shaking it like this.
I said, "Boy, I cannot wait to work with you. Remember when you shot Roger Cross? He's a friend of mine. We play in an e-league together." I went through all this stuff and he just was staring at me. On the inside I'm thinking, "Calm down, Michael."
Geoff Stults: Creep, creep.
Michael Clarke Duncan: After that I never heard from the people from "24" and then it went off the air.
Geoff Stults: That makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing that with me.
CraveOnline: How long was the process of looking for a series for yourself?
Michael Clarke Duncan: I wanted to do one with Geoff. He called me and begged me. He was unemployed. He was homeless out on the street and he was camping in front of my house.
Geoff Stults: I was living in a box. That's the truth on that one.
Michael Clarke Duncan: So I just did it for him. I didn't want to do it. It was all for him.
Geoff Stults: That's a true story. Okay, we've got a couple questions for you guys. What kind of batteries are in them remotes?
CraveOnline: AAAs.
Geoff Stults: All right, good.

Mrs. Howard Birt Receives
At a Casualty Clearing Station Somewhere
The great world war is slowly but steadily drawing nearer to us. Each week brings new events that touch us more closely.
The first of the week a message came to Franklin informing a woman of the death of her husband in France. The telegram came from Ottawa, Canada, having been cabled from England. It contained the simple statement that Howard Oscar Birt died of wounds at casualty clearing station No. 42, somewhere in France, on May 4th. Howard Birt was formerly a fireman at the Harding Paper Mill. About six years ago he was married to Margaret Mc-Grail and two children were born to them. The younger died a few months ago. Birt enlisted at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and was sent to France with other recruits from Canada. Mrs. Birt last heard from her husband on May 4th, in a letter which was written April 17th. The brave little wife and mother has had much of sorrow and suffering in the past year. She is Franklin's first widow of the war.

SDSU's offense vs. Oregon State's defense
Aztecs: Quinn Kaehler will make his first career start at QB, and if his debut against Ohio State was any indication, should do just fine against an Oregon State defense that has allowed an average of 467.7 yards per game. Kaehler's first start will go even more smoothly if San Diego State can finally establish a run game. Is Adam Muema truly back to 100 percent from his ankle sprain? We'll find out Saturday. One final question: Will Starting Combo No. 3 on the offensive line finally yield the results SDSU wants?
Beavers: Oregon State has struggled on defense. OLB Michael Doctor (83 tackles in 2012) is out for the first half of the season with a broken foot, and Oregon State has missed his consistency and dominating presence. The Beavers are inexperienced up front, with four new starters at DL and LB combined. They've got more experienced players in the secondary, but Oregon State is still giving up too many big plays.
Edge: Aztecs.
SDSU's defense vs. Oregon State's offense
Aztecs: SDSU has managed to hurry the quarterback in the last two games, this week they need to actually get to him and get him on his back. That will help their secondary significantly because the Aztecs' inexperienced cornerbacks will have their hands full trying to defend Oregon State's receiving tandem of Brandin Cooks (29 rec, 498 yards, 7 TDs) and Richard Mullaney (15 rec, 258 yards, 2 TDs).
Beavers: Oregon State currently has the nation's No. 1 passing offense, and a big reason for this has been the chemistry between quarterback Sean Mannion and Cooks. Oregon State has had problems running the ball, and this probably won't get much better with leading rusher Storm Woods out due to a concussion. Still, the passing game has been successful, and the Aztecs have generally been vulnerable against the pass. Uh oh.
Edge: Beavers.
Special teams – SDSU vs. Oregon State
Aztecs: This seems to be the most problem-free phase of football for SDSU. Wes Feer is still 4-for-4 on field goals, and Seamus McMorrow will handle kickoffs, with Joel Alesi punting. On kick returns, Colin Lockett has been efficient, averaging 21 yards per return.
Beavers:: Oregon State has been pretty stout in its kick return defense, allowing an average of 17.3 yards per return. The Beavers also boast one of the most accurate placekickers in the country in junior Trevor Romaine and a Ray Guy Award candidate in punter Keith Kostol.
Edge: Even
Aztecs: The adjustments Rocky Long and his staff made on defense worked well against Ohio State, and the Aztecs will stick with that game plan against the Beavers, but how well the defense holds up against Oregon State's pass-heavy offense is anyone's guess. Can they adapt and shut down the Beavers?
Beavers:: Mike Riley gets credit for holding his offensive line together with duct tape and still giving his team a chance to be successful. Despite losing five offensive linemen to a variety of injuries so far this year, the Beavers have still managed to put together a dominant passing offense that seems to have found its rhythm.
Edge: Beavers
Aztecs:: The Aztecs practiced with renewed vigor this week, so it appears that the bye has done them some good. SDSU is at a point where it needs a win, and that can be a powerful motivator. They'll also have Muema back – and hopefully healthy.
Beavers: Oregon State has been good with ball security. The Beavers have committed just one turnover in three games, so they don't generally give out freebies.
Edge: Beavers
Beavers 45, Aztecs 35

Discussion in 'Disney Cruise Line Forum' started by jns, May 4, 2006.
which deck for a Cat 11 would you book
and why
thanks for any info
Deck 7
No public areas above or below staterooms....less noise...
Log in or Sign up
to hide this advert.
We just sailed the Wonder and had Cabin 7556. LOVED IT
I am confused...I thought it was a category 5...I noticed the above poster suggested deck 7 ???
But there again I am new at this category deck business anyway. I just always thought deck 7 was a category 5....how could it be an 11?
Deck 7 has several catagories. We have had cat 6,7 & 11 on deck 7. Inside staterooms are Cat 11 on deck 7.
We always choose deck 7 Aft for quick access to the "secret" deck and just a couple of flights down from Topsiders and the Mickey Pool.
And to the OP: Deck 7 is an AWESOME location!!! We re-booked the identical room for Feb 2007 on the MAGIC/Eastern
I originally shared that same confusion until I stopped by an AAA office and picked up a DCL brochure/book that has fold-out diagrams of the decks with a different color for staterooms in each category. Now, if I want to see where the Cat. 11 staterooms are I just look from deck to deck for the dark pink colored staterooms....or, for Cat 6, the bright yellow coded staterooms. There are also color-coded deck plans on the DCL website.
I also vote for Deck 7, mainly because there are fewwer cabins on Deck 7 than Deck 6 therefore there should be less traffic.
Deck 7 aft.
So you have easy access to the secret verander
I also agree it is quiter deck
Another fan of deck 7 aft here too! ESPECIALLY if you are doing a cat 11. The 'secret' verandah is a nice treat, as long as there isn't a special event going on out there.
Good to hear that deck 7 is a good one. We are booked in a cat 11 for January 2007 in #7565. Can't wait to go!!
We are on deck 7 right sister? But not a cat 11 - I'm so confused. We have a balcony verandah whatever - but we are a cat 5? At this point, I don't care - I'm going, I have a verandah and I'm going to play with dolphins!!! YIPEE
Deck 6 midship. It's close to everything. We were in 6543 and loved the room. You can use the stairs for almost everything. No noise. Close to laundry and elevators/stairs, club, restuarants etc.
Separate names with a comma.

Hostel in Brazilian rain forest paradise for sale
The Trindade Sea and Forest Hostel is located in Trindade village, district of Paraty, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. Strategically positioned between Rio (3 hrs) and Sao Paulo (4 hrs). Exceptionally situated in the limits of Serra da Bocaina National Park and nested in a small valley of beautiful Brazilian tropical rain forest named "Mata Atlantica". Just a 3-minute walk from the main beach and with access to a string of astonishing white sand beaches and transparent turquoise waters, we encounter the most perfect and unique blend of sea and forest.
The Hostel is composed of cozy exotic Brazilian hardwood cabins (recovered from demolished buildings). These cabins are scattered within the rain forest covered property of 10,000 square meters and have a capacity of 27 guests divided between dorms, double rooms and double cabins. There is one dorm with 4 beds, one with 5 beds and one with 6 beds. Two double rooms have one double and one single bed each and two cabins also have one double and one single bed each.
The Hostel also has a beautiful 50 square meter hardwood floor yoga platform within the forest. The property could easily be transformed into a yoga retreat or a beach resort.
We are retiring and would like to sell our little paradise, land, buildings and business. Everything is included, furniture (all designed by the owners), linens, a fully equipped communal kitchen and our own cabin for the new owners to live in. The land alone is worth the price we are asking for as the area has increased in value due to impossibility for the village (which is sandwiched between the sea and the national park) to expand. The Hostel has been top rated by hostelworld.com customers since it opened 6 years ago and is fully operational .We could also offer you assistance for a while if needed.
Timing is also perfect, as Brazil will host the Football World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016.

What is it? The truly sweet cherry tomato is one of gardening's holy grails. 'Gardener's Delight' used to be the variety of choice, but if that hasn't delivered for you, try 'Sweet Aperitif'. This new variety promises high yields of bite-sized fruits from July to September, offering "a sweet taste with a refreshing tang".
Plant it with? Try a bit of companion planting to confuse pests: French marigolds to deter whitefly, and scented herbs such as basil, chives and mint to see off aphids.
And where? A growbag is the typical spot for a tomato or two, but these thirsty plants need constant watering in such shallow confines. Grow them direct in fertile soil or in a large pot (one plant per container) in the greenhouse or a sheltered, sunny spot outside. High-potash plant food will help to boost your crop.
Any drawbacks? This is a cordon (aka intermediate) tomato, which means you'll need to support the main growing stem with a stake (it should reach 2m) and pinch out side shoots as the plant grows. Don't know how? Google is your friend.
What else does it do? This is an open-pollinated variety, so you can save the seeds to sow for the following year.

Dublin manager Gregory McGonigle has accepted responsibility for Monaghan's 2011 and 2013 TG4 All-Ireland ladies senior football championship final defeats.
In a frank and startling admission, Derry native McGonigle believes that he "cost" the Farney County a first Brendan Martin Cup success since 1997.
Monaghan lost by two points against Cork in 2011 and by just one point at Croke Park against the Leesiders in last year's decider.
But McGonigle, preparing to face Monaghan for the first time as Dublin manager in next Sunday's rearranged National Football League fixture, says that he was to blame.
McGonigle reflected: "I cost Monaghan an All-Ireland by not making switches at the right times.
"But I'm glad that Monaghan have the chance to put things right and I rate them as the number one contenders for the All-Ireland.
"John Morrison is a better and more experienced manager than me and I know how highly he was thought of when he worked with the Derry men's team.
"Monaghan have won 22 of their last 25 League matches so that suggests that they lose just one game a season.
"And they have household names such as Amanda Casey, Sharon Courtney, Caoimhe Mohan and Niamh Kindlon.
"A player of Caoimhe's quality would be as well known in the county as Kieran Hughes or Conor McManus."
"I rate them as the number one contenders for the All-Ireland"
Monaghan and Dublin will put their unbeaten records in 2014 on the line when they lock horns in Sunday's sole Division 1 clash, with both sides having won their opening two fixtures.
Dublin travel to Inniskeen for a 2.45pm start as Monaghan's ladies have a weekend social engagement and requested some extra time to prepare on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the clash between Kerry and Laois has been put back until 26 March, following agreement between the two counties.
Laois manager Dessie Cooney explained: "Timahoe are playing in the Páidí Ó'Sé tournament and we have nine players gone on that, plus six heading to Crossmaglen to play in a tournament up there.
"They had that pre-booked and money paid so we have refixed for Wednesday, 26 March.
"We're going to play it in the evening time under lights down in Kerry.
"The other dates available were clashing with the forthcoming All Star tour to Hong Kong – six Kerry girls and their manager William O'Sullivan are going on that and the 23rd (March) is the day after the O'Connor Cup final."
There's one fixture in Division 2 as Kildare look to get off the mark at home to a Galway side looking to preserve their 100 per cent start.
And in Division 3, Armagh host Longford at Abbey Grammar School while Leitrim make the trip to Cloghan to take on Offaly.

London, England - A new version of the Bible which its author says can be read in less than two hours has been launched.
The 100-Minute Bible, written as a page-turner for those who do not have the time to read the full version, was unveiled at Canterbury Cathedral.
Its author, ex-headteacher the Rev Michael Hinton said: "We have majored on Jesus, because he is the central figure in the Bible."
Bishop of Jarrow, the Rt Rev John Pritchard was a consultant on the book.
"I don't think most people know the Bible very well," he said.
"This is an attempt to say, 'Look, there's a great story here - let's get into it and let's not get put off by the things that are going to be the sub-plot. Let's give you the big plot'."
More than 11,000 copies of the 100-Minute Bible, which is roughly the size of a notebook, have been printed, for distribution to churches and schools.
It took Mr Hinton more than two years to cut down the 66 books of the Bible into a version that could be read in 1hr 40min.
He said readers would find all the familiar Bible stories.
"We majored on the ones that have entered the common consciousness, like Noah's Ark, Jonah and so on."
The publishers of the book say that, just like the original, the 100-minute version should be a bestseller.
Len Budd, proprietor of the 100-Minute Press, said: "This is a book for adults and has been written in a style to encourage readers to keep turning the pages, but without resorting to any literary gimmicks."
New page-turner Bible is launched
London, England - A new version of the Bible which its author says can be read in less than two hours has been launched.

|The term of finger crack seems generous. It seemed to climb much more like a face climb...somewhat reminiscent of the Perfect Finger Crack of Boulder Canyon.

|Agree with you Leo, the last 10' of this climb is up the face to the left of the crack, using the crack maybe twice in that span for right hand finger tip lock outs. Nice finish on good rock with very gritty texture.

|A [challenging] finish is to continue the arching crack all the way up. It protects fine, and is a fun flarey offwidthy face/like finish. I'd say 9+.

|Climbed this route yesterday, and it was very fun. Crack seemed to get bigger as you went (scrapes all over my left leg says so). Why does the "proper route" go left? Seems much more fluid to keep following the natural arching feature to the right (so I did). Fun and challenging finish (for me). Interesting feet, too. You'll want to stay in the crack, but really can't, because it starts to arch too much. Don't worry as there are lots of feet on the face at this point. I recommend NOT leaving the bigger gear (3 to 4 BD) in the car... Oh yeah, had the whole area to ourselves ALL day.. cheers

|I have never finished this climb by following the crack all the way to the end, but I would recommend the "finger crack" standard finish. It, for me, was the crux and probably the most fun section of the entire climb.

|I thought entering the crack at the bottom was the burly crux and exiting the crack up high was the technical crux. Neither seemed to warrant the + rating for me, but I can see this being more difficult if you're a bit smaller... maybe 5.10a if you're small.

You've probably already seen it (thanks to JCMAC for posting it), but it deserves to be posted here too:
They claim to be pulling 130A to run this show. Based on their location (Spring, TX) and posted showtimes, I'd say they're probably paying about $43 extra a week on electricity. I say it's worth it (I wonder if they considered LEDs though).

Dodge Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
No I haven't done that yet, were are those located? and do I need to take them off to clean them or can they be cleaned while they're installed?
Also, the weird thing about this issue is that the Engine is not giving out any black smoke or is misfiring or hesitating, it's working normal, it's just that sound and use of gas that's giving me grief. I would appreciate your input on this. Thank You Jeff.
This can cause poor fuel economy as it will effect the air fuel mixture. Also if the injectors have not been cleaned it will help to clean them so the fuel sprays in a mist not a stream. Here is a picture of the idle air control motor and the throttle body. The idle air control motor needs to be remove and clean it and the throttle body with carb cleaner.
Thank You Jeff, I will follow your advice, how can I contact you back if I have other issues/questions? I'm accepting your answer now. I would also like to leave good feedback for you, and I will.
Again Thank You and God Bless!

DADE CITY — When City Commissioner Steve Van Gorden announced his resignation last month, Mayor Scott Black warned fellow commissioners to "prepare to be politicked" as they sought his replacement.
But it was Bill Dennis, the former commissioner who was selected for the post Tuesday night, who was politicked.
Van Gorden approached Dennis in the parking lot after last month's meeting to see if he might consider taking the open seat. Dennis, who served two eight-year stints on the commission in the past 27 years, agreed to come back for round three.
"Bill has been in this community for a very long time, he has the best interest of Dade City at heart," Van Gorden said before Tuesday's meeting.
Van Gorden is resigning because he is moving out of the city limits. His term was set to expire in 2012. When a commissioner resigns with more than 60 days left on his or her term, the commission must appoint someone to fill the seat until the next scheduled election.
Dennis, 77, was first elected to the commission in 1982 and served eight years before losing to Black in 1990. He was elected again in 1998 and was defeated by Commissioner Camille Hernandez in 2006.
The former middle school teacher taught City Manager Billy Poe at Stewart Middle School.
Reached earlier in the week, Dennis said he was unfazed about the possibility of serving with his former opponents and had no agenda moving forward.
"I'll do what I've always done. If it seems like it's good for Dade City then I'll vote for it," he said. "I don't care who makes the motion."
Dennis will serve until the election in April. He said the next few months will determine whether he runs for election.
Dennis was nominated at Tuesday's meeting by Van Gorden. Commissioner Curtis Beebe and Black seconded the motion.
Commissioner Eunice Penix wanted former city employee Jim Shive, who ran for election in 2008 but lost to Beebe, to take over the seat. Hernandez seconded that nomination.
Mike Agnello's name was also mentioned. He ran in 2008 but lost to Penix.
In other news, commissioners voted to keep Karla Owens as part-time city attorney after she steps down Dec. 31 from her other roles as director of safety services and director of community development.
Owens will earn $27,580 annually for up to 21 hours per month of service; additional hours will be billed to the city at $100 per hour. The city will also pay her bar dues and medical and life insurance premiums, and pay for her attendance at an annual municipal attorneys meeting. Owens has been with the city since 2003.
Hernandez made a motion to terminate Owens' contract with the city, which was seconded by Van Gorden.
"I do think that periodically we need to look and see what our options are," Hernandez said.
The motion failed. Beebe, Black and Penix opposed it.

Seasonic SS-300TFX Power Supply Review
A Detailed Look at the SS-300TFX
The utilitarian steel gray enclosure measures 175mm L, 85mm W, and 70mm H (6.9" x 3.3" x 2.8"). The rear panel features a standard AC power cord receptacle and vent holes to let the exhaust air out.
The SS-300TFX uses a single 80mm Adda fan, which blows air into the PSU (#AD0812HB-C70) for cooling.
Here are a few more pictures showing the layout and components inside the Seasonic SS-300TFX power supply. The overall layout, build quality and component selection appears to be very good as we have come to expect from Seasonic.

Home from 10 week scan, 2 heart beats = Twins!!
Just had a scan at 1pm found out we are expecting twins! Still shocked and suprised but very happy! (too early to know the sex's yet)
My husband and I started trying for a sibling for Aria after we returned from a lovely easter vacation and I joined nameberry in June because I wanted to start compiling a list of names I love.
So far with my list and hubbys list we have 87 girls names and 73 boys names!!
I was going to wait until the second trimester and until we found out the sex to start narrowing the lists down, but after todays news maybe il start sooner than expected!
A friend of mine (whos also on nameberry actually) thinks that my style of girls names to boys names is quite different. But to me my style is the same for both genders.
Without saying what style of names we tend to gravitate more towards I would love to know what some of my fellow berries would suggest for siblings to our princess Aria (she will be 2 in november).
Im not one of those people that have strict rules/ideas about sibling's names, and as you can tell by the amount of names on our lists we arent too fussy. Allthough we can safely say vintage is not our style.
Please post and suggest away, cant wait to hear what you berries think!

This China-only concept, which previews a new small car that Honda will build just for that market, is the kind of product that Honda enthusiasts have been clamoring for.
The Concept B looks like Honda's take on the Hyundai Veloster. No powertrain details were announced, but perhaps Honda will be kind enough to forgo the hybrid system that they saddled the CR-Z with – and bring it to North America as well.

Interesting concept. Very attractive, especially for Honda. I originally expected this was a Fit-based sedan, but could be larger, perhaps what the Civic will look like in 3 years.
If Honda can downsize the hybrid powerplant in the Accord, they might break 60 mpg and finally have an effective Prius-fighter.

This thing actually looks beautiful. I'm a Honda guy, and if they could make something like this that had good visibility, a high fun to drive quotient, and was not hybrid, I might actually spring for it.

Best-looking snout I've seen in a few years, or since the curse of Euro pedestrian regs ruined everything for everybody.

Looks to me like the Acura beak with a nip-tuck. Car itself is probably a preview of some variant on the next Honda City (aka Fit/Jazz sedan).

A hint at an Integra/RSX revival, perhaps? I like it a lot, certainly vastly better looking than the ILX.

Looks like this big grill deal is getting popular.

I hope that the Accord MMC doesn't go with this fully-closed look in 2016.
If they bulk up the current slats and enlarge the chrome surround just a touch, it'd be fine.

"perhaps Honda will be kind enough to forgo the hybrid system that they saddled the CR-Z with"
They could just, y'know, just build a CR-Z without the hybrid system… which would give it a usable back seat and twice the sprightliness in the twisty stuff.
Interesting. Wonder if it'll be a lifestyle "four door coupe" or if this is meant as a preview for a cheaper Fit variant, to compete as Honda's new entry-level sedan.

That would be, well, the Fit. Or rather, the Fit with less headroom and two fewer doors.

This is an attractive styling study. What would it look like with clear glass, B pillars, <18" wheels and door handles? I want to like it, but right now it's just an attractive little baby bump on Honda's tummy. I'll wait and see what it looks like on an ultrasound in a year or so.

This Honda concept is really interesting. Great job.

DEL MAR — Future performances of Valitar, the equine-human acrobatics show that premiered last week at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, have been canceled, a spokeswoman for the fairgrounds said Wednesday.
The producers pulled the plug, citing slow ticket sales, according to a news release issued by fairgrounds spokeswoman Linda Zweig.
It was an abrupt end to the elaborate horse fantasy production that featured more than 25 performers and 55 horses, housed inside a gigantic red tent at the fairgrounds.
The show opened Friday and was supposed to run through Nov. 30, Zweig said in a brief phone interview. She referred further questions to the show's producer Mark Remley.
A call to Remley's cellphone Wednesday afternoon did not go through. A voice-mail message said the phone's mailbox was full.
Remley produced the show with his wife, Tatyana, who was also a performer in the show.
An apology to fans was posted on Valitar's Facebook page on Wednesday.
"Mark and Tatyana Remley, owners of the Equustria Development and Valitar, liquidated the business last night and stopped all scheduled Valitar shows," the post said. "On behalf of the hard working, dedicated cast and crew who worked tirelessly to bring you a great show, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience."
The production appears to have been troubled from the beginning.
Darren Zatkow, a performer, said he left the show in late September, when it was still being developed, due to artistic differences with the Remleys, such as making Tatyana Remley the star of the show.
"She's not a good horse rider and he wanted her to be the star of the show and all of us to kowtow to her," Zatkow said.
Zatkow said many of the original performers left for the same reasons before the show opened in Del Mar.
Valitar was similar to another equine show, Cavalia, which is playing in San Diego.
Erik Martonovich, the original director of Valitar, said he also left the show due to artistic differences with the Remleys. He said the Remleys wanted artistic control.
"Suddenly, they wanted control of the show," Martonovich said. "She started pushing what she wanted. He started pulling the I'm-writing-the-checks card."
Martonovich said most of the original performers left when he did. That meant new performers had to be trained in a short time and much of the show had to be changed.
"I wasn't at all surprised that the show closed," Martonovich said. "A show like this takes a lot of preparation."
People who purchased tickets through Ticketmaster can call 800-745-3000 for refunds. Those who purchased tickets at the Valitar box office, call 858-792-4252.
