Your car care questions answered by repair expert Larry Rubenstein.
Q: We have a 2003 Explorer with an issue that we can't get answers to. Intermittently it will shudder as if you are driving on rumble strips. This might go on for a few minutes or a few days, and then it will just as suddenly go away. Also, when in stop-and-go traffic, particularly on a downhill off-ramp, it will start up and there is a clunking feel every few rotations of the wheels. Also, if you are in the front seat, it feels and sounds like it's in the front wheels, but if you're in the back seat it feels like it's in the back wheels.
The front u-joint was worn out and replaced, as well as the tie rods and the ball joint in the front right, but it still comes and goes. We've had it in the shop with a local mechanic, but it when he puts it on the lift he can't get it to shudder. Any ideas? -- Bart in Medford
A: The way you describe the problem, I would be taking a hard look at the drive line. The first place I would start would be the transmission fluid. If you have not replaced the transmission fluid in 14 years, you can expect to have sticking clutches in your transmission. A flush and can of sea foam additive should take care of that.
However, if you have maintained your transmission, I would next look at the transfer case, which is a likely suspect because of how you describe the problem as feeling it front or rear. The transfer case feeds both front and rear drive shafts. It's highly unlikely you have a differential problem if you are feeling it front and rear.
If the transfer case is the problem, an overhaul will run you about $950 for parts and labor. Have your technician use a stethoscope on the drive line while it is up in the air. In most cases it's not that difficult to diagnose.
Q: You helped me on Dan Rea's show a few years back with my 2004 Impala windshield wiper problem. I now have the 2007 Impala with that scary traction control issue. Shortly after driving my car, the dash readout reads "service traction control"/"engine power reduced." The vehicle becomes dangerous to drive, and has very slow acceleration from a dead stop, or at low driving speeds. The transmission also slams in (plays "catch-up") at times, because of the hesitation. It usually happens at 38 to 45 mph, but can happen at other speeds.
My vehicle has the "traction control off" switch, which I have done, but the problem overrides this feature, and it still happens. I have not had the codes read. I have not brought it to my mechanic yet. Can you please give me your expert opinion, and in the meantime, is there some type of circuit-breaker or fuse that I could remove that will disable this feature without affecting the car's ability to drive? Thank you! -- Sincerely, Michael
A: Without reading the codes, Michael, it becomes a guessing game. By no means am I telling you what part has gone bad. When your car's computer sees a fault that may put you in a crash situation, it reduces your power, and there is not a switch, button or knob that is going to let you go fast again until the problem is fixed.
Most likely your traction control issue is a result of another component in the computer engine control system malfunctioning. This could be anything from a throttle body assembly to a crank shaft sensor. So step No. 1 is to get the code read. Once you have the code, then the diagnostics and repair can begin.

Sisters of St. Joseph are not about to be deterred by fire or rain.
Even though their former motherhouse had to be torn down — after damage from Hurricane Katrina's flooding and then a subsequent fire caused by a lightning strike — members of the community remain active in several ministries in the Archdiocese of New Orleans, the Clarion Herald reports.
In fact, Kim Shackleton, a member of the Mission Advancement Team of the newly merged Congregation of St. Joseph, said there are currently more St. Joseph sisters ministering in the archdiocese than before the storm.
Although Hurricane Katrina hit the region nearly four years ago, recovery efforts are still underway thanks to the efforts of groups like these sisters who keep doing what they can to help local residents at clinics, adult education centers and senior care programs.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky... Life in The Upper South... More About Trees and Plants...
The Bradford pears around the high school sports fields in Hopkinsville are gorgeous in their fall color right now. This tree species is widely planted through the Upper South, due to its quick growth, attractive shape, long season in full leaf, and beautiful blossoms and color.
Unfortunately, the Bradford pear has a very short lifespan. Because its branches are spindly and weak with a dense distribution, they break easily in any weather event. (This is a weakness of most pears.) These trees are probably a decade or less in age, but they're at their prime. They'll be breaking up soon.
The football stadium was built about 1992, I think. This photo shows just the home side. There's a similar, but smaller, set of seats on the visitor's side.
Like many towns across the south, Hopkinsville greatly enjoys its high school football teams. When I first saw this stadium when we moved here, I thought its size was excessive. It looked big enough to be a college stadium. However, I have seen it filled to capacity during the annual match between Christian County's two high schools.
The stadium is used by both high schools. One high school plays at home each weekend, while the other high school goes on the road.
I'm still a little in awe that this is a high school stadium. In the county in northern Nebraska where I grew up, there was a set of wooden bleachers just big enough for our small high school band. The spectators sat on bales of hay or stood around the edge of the field. Actually, it was usually cold enough that moving up and down the field with the teams helped to prevent frostbite.

The morning of Thursday, Oct. 28, was cold and drizzly but that did not stop a group of Action members and J.N. Andrews Honors students from boarding a bus headed to volunteer at Harbor Habitat for Humanity in Benton Harbor, Mich. Arriving at the jobsite, they were undeterred to discover that they would be doing outdoor work all morning.
Monique Pittman, professor of English and chair of the J.N. Andrews Honors Program, described the students' work as "enthusiastic landscaping under the rainclouds." Dividing the 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. day in two, the morning crew focused on laying sod and planting trees while the afternoon crew worked inside the house cleaning. Despite the weather and strenuous work, the crews enjoyed themselves and were impressed with the impact they could make on the project in such a short time.
Sophomore Carly Mitzelfelt, a sophomore, commented on the day: "Volunteering for Habitat for Humanity was a worthwhile experience. It involves lots of hard work, sweat and lots of dirt, but at the end of the day it was a great feeling of accomplishment!"
This service project, a joint venture between the J.N. Andrews Honors Program and the Action Club, was the result of joint planning between Jason Lemon, current Action president, and Pittman. The J.N. Andrews Honors Program requires all Honors students to take part in at least 12 hours of service per academic year in order to remain in the program. Action is an Andrews University student club focused on humanitarian work and raising awareness about global and local issues.
The home Action and Honors worked on is one of a couple homes Harbor Habitat for Humanity is currently finishing up. Speaking of the family who will be moving into the home, Lori Csintyan, director of volunteer services for Harbor Habitat for Humanity, stated, "On November 20th, [they] will be handed the keys of their brand-new home, an occasion made possible by the hundreds of volunteers that lent their time and talents to making this dream become reality."
Harbor Habitat for Humanity has helped 100 families move into new homes during its 15-year history in the Benton Harbor community. They are a non-profit ministry with the goal of building affordable homes for people who are willing to work 300 hours on their own home in conjunction with the help of volunteers. Csintyan says the goal is, "To give a hand up, not a hand out."
Pittman, as well as Action, hopes to do more work with Harbor Habitat for Humanity in the future. Action plans on organizing groups of its members on a more regular basis to help with Harbor Habitat projects. Pittman also hopes to be able to bring Honors students to assist a couple times a year. Both organizations see significant value in providing these kinds of service opportunities and helping out with such a worthwhile cause.
The Andrews University motto concludes with the words, "Change the World." That is exactly what service projects like this one endeavor to do.
Learn more about volunteering locally for Harbor Habitat for Humanity.

Staten Island, NY – Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, Austria, praised the work of Priests for Life and the American pro-life movement during a stop in New York on his six-day trip to the United States. The Cardinal visited the headquarters of Priests for Life on Staten Island and met with Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director, and his pastoral team.
"We look with a certain envy to your country, where for so many years the life issue has been so central," said Cardinal Schönborn.
The Cardinal was particularly interested to learn how the Silent No More Awareness Campaign and Rachel's Vineyard – both ministries of Priests for Life -- are reaching men who have lost children to abortion. He was especially impressed by the statement "Men Regret Lost Fatherhood," which is a theme that the Silent No More Awareness Campaign is emphasizing. "The concept of lost fatherhood is the central drama of our time," the Cardinal noted.
After his visit to the Priests for Life headquarters, Cardinal Schönborn offered Mass in St Patrick's Cathedral, where he was joined by Fr. Pavone and other priests and bishops. The Cardinal hosted a dinner after the Mass, to speak about the International Theological Institute in Gaming. Priests for Life promotes the work of the Institute, where Fr. Pavone has been invited to make presentations on the theme of the defense of life.

"Slackware is old-school Linux. Back in the day - before Red Hat seized the throne - Pat Volkerding's Linux distribution was the undisputed king of the hill. Many still use it today. By the time I started playing with Linux in 1995, or running my Web server with it in 1996, Slackware's slump in market share had already begun. I've tried a lot of different Linux distributions during the years since then, but until recently I had never tried Slackware. Here's what I've learned about Slackware while installing and using the recently released Slackware 10.2."

Shop with a Cop season in full swing
PLYMOUTH — The season is upon us — Shop with a Cop season, when FOP Lodge #195 makes it possible for several local children to enjoy a Christmas that they might not otherwise have.
"I got involved with Shop with a Cop when I was Director of Victim's Assistance and they helped a lot of my families," said volunteer Laura Mann of her longtime involvement with the charity. "It's not a kid's fault if his parents are out of work or experiencing some sort of hardship. I have always brought my oldest daughter (Chelsie) with me on shopping day because kids should learn that giving and helping others is something that is very important."
Last year, Shop with a Cop was able to take 331 children out for the day — of the 800 who applied from all over Marshall County. Fundraising is under way for this year's trip and will be highlighted by the annual auction Dec. 3 live on WTCA-AM 1050. On Dec. 7, notification of this year's shoppers will begin for the trip on Dec. 11.
"I have been on several volunteer groups and believe me, Shop with a Cop is one of the most rewarding groups I've been involved with," said Linda Jacobson of ReMax Oak Crest Realty. "The whole process is so organized and intense. The group puts hours of dedication into making Christmas memorable for those less fortune during these hard times.
"I know it gives me an enormous sense of satisfaction to know that my small part in this huge process puts joy into a family that otherwise would not have the ability to share in the holiday excitement."
"For me, shopping day is the best part," said Mann. "You're assigned a kid to shop with and when you say 'let's go' the first thing they always want to do is go get something for their mom or dad or sibling. The first thought on those kids' minds isn't themselves."
Residents can donate by buying Shop with a Cop Christmas ornaments at many stores around the county. The charity is also still looking for auction items. If you would like to donate an item or monetarily, call 574-952-0012.
"Our community and the neighboring communities have always been generous and if not for the public and their continued support, this miracle of joy for some children would not happen," said Jacobson. "I send my personal blessings to these folks and thank them for all they do during this season of giving."

Haha. Sorry Peach for the very uneven post. I was so frantic to post it that I've forgot to redo it. I hope the Philippines get visited. It has been a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time since the country was last visited. Also, don't you think it is better to have just one race for a year? I mean, the last seasons were very forgettable in general.

I am about to embark on the biggest physical and mental challenge of my life and trust me I will be fueled by my No Opportunity Wasted Energy Bar. In July I will leave Paris to travel around France on a 1928 bicycle. I will average 150 miles a day for 22 days to honor the Australasian team who rode the Tour de France. Proceeds from my film will go to MS. This is hands down the hardest thing I have attempted to do in my life so far!!!

As the use of supplemental braking systems — used to engage the brakes of a towed vehicle — continues to expand, the choices available to consumers has likewise grown into a cottage industry of sorts within the RV industry.
One of the newest concepts to come on the market, the InvisiBrake, was introduced by Roadmaster Inc. during the 48th Annual RV Trade Show in Louisville.
"The InvisiBrake is, as it sounds, the 'invisible brake,'" said David Robinson, marketing director for the Vancouver, Wash.-based supplier. "Once it's installed, you see no part of it. It can be installed in the trunk, under the seat, under the back seat, pretty much any orientation that you want to put it in. The goal is to install it once and forget about it. When the customer is ready to tow, there's nothing he has to turn on, there's nothing he has to connect — it just works."
While it's impressively small in size (8 inches X 7 ½ inches X 3 inches), the InvisBrake allows for mounting in relatively enclosed areas and – in what amounts to the InvisiBrake's true breakthrough — it can utilize electrical connections already in place on the towed vehicle.
"All of the wiring is using the existing wiring that's already in the car from the taillights," he said. "The wiring that you run back from the motorhome to energize the turn signals and the brakes are the exact same wires that we use to operate the InvisiBrake. When you apply the brakes on the motorhome and that electrical signal activates the towed vehicle's brake lights, it also activates the InvisiBrake."
By tapping into to the towed vehicle's wiring harness, the InvisiBrake connects directly to its battery — and constantly charges the battery during towing. "We actually are running a trickle charge," said Robinson. "It's charging the dinghy battery the entire time you are towing so there's no danger of the system draining the battery."
Intended as a permanently mounted unit in the towed vehicle, the InvisiBrake isn't as portable as some other units — including Roadmaster's EvenBrake — but as Robinson pointed out, its benefits outweigh its lack of portability.
"The nice thing about portable braking systems," he said, "is if you have multiple cars, you can very easily transfer the unit from one car to the next. The downside is, there's something for you to do every time you want to tow. With this unit, you simply hook up your tow bar and tow car just as you would normally — and you're done. There's nothing to push, pull, set, adjust, activate or deactivate."
Additional features of the InvisiBrake, which will be released in March, include a brake pressure adjustment knob on the front of the unit that provides brake pressure from five to 80 psi, allowing the customer to dial in braking preferences, and a two-stage (audible and visual) motorhome monitor.

Hyperconnectivity within the salience network and other networks of the brain appears to be a key feature of childhood autism, new imaging research suggested.
In a study using resting-state functional MRI, hyperconnectivity in the salience, default mode, frontotemporal, motor and visual networks appeared as distinguishing features in the brains of school-age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) compared with those of typically developing children, reported Lucina Q. Uddin, PhD, of Stanford University, and colleagues.
The salience network showed the highest classification accuracy, and when the researchers used a dual-regression algorithm to map this network, children with ASD could be discriminated from typically developing children in a computer model with a classification accuracy of 78% (P=0.02, sensitivity 75%, specificity 80%), they wrote online in JAMA Psychiatry.
If the model proves to be as accurate in very young children, this potential brain biomarker could help clinicians diagnose ASD very early in life before symptoms occur, Uddin told MedPage Today.
"The salience network seems to be critical for identifying novel or meaningful stimuli," she said. "Faces and voices tend to be salient and children with autism usually don't pay attention to these types of stimuli as closely as typically developing children do."
In earlier studies, the researchers identified the salience network, which encompasses the anterior insular cortex and anterior cingulate cortex as critical for orchestrating brain network dynamics involved in integrating external sensory stimuli with internal states.
In the current analysis, they sought to determine if atypical development of this network contributes to a diminished ability to facilitate social interaction.
The study included 20 children between the ages of 7 to 12 with ASD and 20 typically developing children who were matched for age, sex, and IQ.
All underwent a 6-minute, resting-state MRI involving imaging of 29 axial sections of the brain, with the goal of identifying group differences in functional connectivity within networks.
Among the 10 networks examined, the salience network had the greatest classification accuracy.
The other networks produced classification accuracies ranging from 58% to 73%, while the classification accuracy of the salience network was 78%. The classifier discriminated children with autism from typically developing children in the sample with 83% accuracy, 67% sensitivity, and 100% specificity.
"Our findings link for the first time, to our knowledge, a novel description of the neurobiology of childhood autism spectrum disorder with the identification of a potential brain-based biomarker that is related to the core symptoms of the disorder," the researchers wrote.
The findings also contrasted with earlier studies showing hypoconnectivity in the default mode network of the brains of adolescents and adults with autism, suggesting that connectivity patterns may differ between children and adults with the disorder.
The fact that hyperconnectivity was found within the frontotemporal, motor and visual networks in addition to the default mode network suggested that this is a "critical component of the underlying biology of childhood autism spectrum disorder," the researchers noted.
"Our work suggests that the large body of literature describing hypoconnectivity between brain regions in adult ASD may not be representative and obscures the full, complex developmental sequelae of the disorder," they wrote.
They further speculated that there might be a critical period in development -- possibly puberty -- that impacts brain organization in children with autism differently from those who are typically developing.
"The current findings suggest that at earlier ages closer to the onset of the disorder, the brain in ASD is largely hyperconnected," they wrote. "In addition, this hyperconnectivity can be quantified in ways that may eventually be used to discriminate children with ASD from typically developing children."
Uddin said the next step will be examining data from resting-state brain imaging studies of very young children, to determine if the hyperconnectivity patterns seen in older children persist.
If so, resting-state imaging, which is a relatively new but growing field of brain research, could prove to be an important diagnostic and treatment-assessment tool for autism, she added.
"Certainly, this would never replace clinical diagnosis," she said. "But it might be very useful in cases where there is ambiguity or comorbidity with related disorders."
This study was funded by a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health and grants from the Singer Foundation, the Stanford Institute for Neuro-Innovation & Translational Neurosciences, and the National Institutes of Health.

text: My husband did the paced feeding last night/overnight using the tilting the bottle down and it seemed to agree well with baby! He said sometimes he spent a good amount of time in the pause to catch his breath since he often gets frantic while feeding and once nearing the end of the bottle he was definitely more relaxed. So far he's still drinking everything he can and not indicating that he's full, but since the feeding took a little longer there was less time at the end where he was fussing that we needed to give him a pacifier/finger to suck while he realized he was done. It is a little challenging to get him in the best upright position since he throws himself backward when he wants to eat, but found if we enticed him with the nipple he'd come forward a bit and once he had the bottle he would stay in the position better.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - MIT women's swimming and diving wrapped up the first day of the two-day, three-session MIT Winter Invitational in first place with 372.5 points, leaving a sizeable gap between it and Harvard with 250.5 points. Tech earned four NCAA B cuts, and broke one school record and one pool record, taking first place in three different events.
Tech started the meet off the right way by touching in first place in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:33.95. The A relay, which was composed of sophomore Lena Yang (East Stroudsburg, Pa.), freshman Veronika Jedryka (Arlington Heights, Ill.), junior Michelle Cunningham (Wayland, Mass.) and senior Christy Rogers (Bend, Ore.), not only broke the MIT record and easily earned the NCAA B cut, but also beat their time of 1:34.15 that earned them a fifth place finish at the 2013 national championships. MIT's B relay came in second in 1:36.83 and the C relay was fourth with a 1:39.47.
In the first individual event, the 500-yard freestyle, junior Emmie Ryan (Avon, Ind.) was fourth with her time of 5:08.63, improving from her seed time by over eight seconds. Swimming in an outside lane of the second fastest heat of the 200-yard Individual Medley, sophomore Kristen Finney (Lake Orion, Mich.) came in first in 2:09.53. Freshman Emily Tsang (Mountain Lakes, N.J.), also from an outside lane, touched in second place with a 2:09.97. On the 1-meter diving board, senior Jessica Wass (Bismarck, N.D.) was 10th with a score of 213.65.
As always, the Engineers swam well in the 50-yard freestyle, taking the top four spots. Rogers and Jedryka tied for first place with their times of 23.74, easily earning the B cut, while Yang and fellow sophomore Sarah Osmulski (Rumson, N.J.) were third and fourth with a 24.22 and 25.39.
To end the first day, the 400-yard medley A relay came in first with a 3:48.88, getting the B cut by almost four full seconds. The relay, which was made up of Rogers, Finney, Osmulski and Jedryka, broke the pool record from 2011-12 by exactly two seconds and the school record of 3:49.23 from nationals this past season. The B relay came in third behind Harvard's A relay, touching in 3:56.51.
Tech returns to the pool early tomorrow morning for the second session of the meet which is due to start at 10:00 a.m. The third and final session of the meet will be swum at 5:30 tomorrow night.

Opinion: We need a comprehensive approach to keep our children and schools safe
EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - It is time for concrete action to prevent further school shootings and other mass attacks.
There needs to be a comprehensive approach to keep our schools and our children safe.
The House recently passed the Fix NICS Act. The bill calls for stronger background checks. President Trump supports the act. The Senate must pass this measure as soon as possible.
President Trump has directed the Department of Justice to ban certain gun modifications, such as bump stocks. They allow guns to become automatic. Banning them is the right thing to do and should be implemented right away.
Don't forget, bump stocks allegedly allowed for the shooter in Las Vegas to fire over 1,000 rounds in just about 10 minutes. That shooting killed 58 people.
President Trump has also suggested raising the minimum age to buy so-called "long guns," rifles, to 21.
However, these commonsense, constitutional, limits on guns are not a cure-all. It's important that they are combined with better-protected schools throughout the country.
If you look at cities in states with the most restrictive gun laws, like Baltimore and Chicago, that is where you will also see some of the highest gun murder rates in the country.
That is why armed guards, police and in some instances, well-trained and armed school officials should all be part of the answer.
Here is the bottom line: even the most restrictive gun laws possible under the Constitution can't --by themselves -- guarantee our children's safety in schools. Stronger, well-trained, security in our schools has to be mandated by the federal government.

The Corporate Nurse
It is easy to write the fluffy warm fuzzy stuff about the privilege of being a nurse and it truly is a privilege, but once in a while I get the urge to go naked. 'The Corporate Nurse' is one such article. Nursing is a terrible beauty and sometimes the terrible aspects outweigh the beauty - that's all
I started out on this journey to become a nurse to rid the world of illness or at least help in the fight against it. After nursing school, I proudly took a stand alongside my coworkers against the enemy. For every shift I punched in and punched out I gained another morsel of insight.
I saw a flicker of possibility.
It made sense to me I mean, what other industry, other than healthcare, offers the opportunity to express a love for humanity. One human being helping another who has become downtrodden and sick. To help a person not at ease or in dis-ease. Of course, sacrifices have to be made to get to that honorary position.
Family gatherings and social events are foregone in lieu of up all night studying and preparing for exam after exam. Year after year of self sacrifice and devotion to the dream of making it to that place where you can stand with the knowledge and skills required to meaningfully assist.
I was working as a registered nurse for a short time when I realized that the enemy had many names the least of which was illness. I was swiftly introduced to the two most prominent names it bore; budget restraints and time.
The greater of these was time.
There was never enough of it, or stuff, or staff to do the pristine job my nursing school professors had taught me. I had to work at a much faster rate. In college I learned cognitive dissonance to be the space between what must be done and what a person is actually able to do and how the mind fills in the gap. Therein lies the outward boundary of the nursing profession. Nurses work inside the gap and in a tough economy the gap has become a ravine.
The public has no idea that evolution has been to visit healthcare in the hospitals and caused it to evolve into a service industry that competes for market share and for patient satisfaction scores. Long gone are the days of nurses fluffing pillows and patients actually being patient.
Nurses are true humanitarians and at the same time highly skilled scientists.
They operate millions of dollars worth of equipment every day in specialty units where peoples lives hang by a thread. Healthcare is in dis-ease where outcomes and prognosis can be grim. The disease has spread and is picking up speed day after day like a run away train.
Frequent flyer social abusers occupy a considerable percentage of the census on any given urban weekend aggravated by many avoidable chronic conditions that further clog the system. As a nation, where did we ever get the notion that our personal health, the acquisition and maintenance of it, was the responsibility of a third party.
Why do we not teach preventative medicine to our children at home and in the school system?
When we visit with our friends and family and get ready to part we might say "take care of yourself," but that is exactly the message we should freely share.
I often wonder what fate awaits me if I am ever old and infirm and possibly face an overnight stay in hospital. I already know the pillows and mattress are packed with nails and the prospect of an enjoyable stay is mere fantasy. One solace we can count on is, in the face of struggle and possible defeat, healthcare workers continue to freely give that part of themselves that has no price tag.
It is intangible. It is simply one human being helping another; one soul lifting up another. Oh yes, it has been exploited, and raped by the mighty and the greedy, however, it is a self replenishing source.
Nursing is not just a career, it is a calling and not everyone gets that call, or text.Last edit by Joe V on Sep 10, '18

Also once you have hopped around a bit and gotten a flavor of what it is that you like, and you're good at it, why change just to go somewhere new. For me it's more than wages. It's about the environment of the floor that you work on and the people that you work with. Don't get me wrong, the money helps things too. Just my two pennies worth.

(CNN) -- Kirstie Alley has always had a public battle with her weight, but next year, the actress will get real in a new way: in a reality television show on A&E.
The network has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of the as-yet-unnamed series that will open the once-private doors of the Emmy-winning actress's life, A&E announced Tuesday.
The reality series is scheduled to air in 2010 and will be produced by FremantleMedia, the hit-making minds behind "American Idol."
Over the 10 episodes, cameras will trail Alley as she juggles producing a feature film, sticking to a new weight-loss program and raising her two daughters True and Lillie, all while looking for love.
Although it's the first time Alley has laid her personal life bare on reality television, it's not the first time she's exposed her weighty issues to the world. She was a Jenny Craig spokeswoman for three years until 2007, dropping 75 pounds along the way. The actress stripped down to a bikini and a sarong to show off her success on "Oprah" in 2006.
Two years after she left the weight-loss company, Alley had regained the 75 pounds she lost, plus an additional 10. "I just sort of went wild," the actress admitted to People magazine in May.
She also starred in the Showtime mockumentary series "Fat Actress" in 2005, playing a character based on herself (and named "Kirstie Alley").
Alley's frankness caught A&E's attention, said an executive for the network.
"Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to," Robert Sharenow, A&E's senior vice president for nonfiction and alternative programming, said in a statement.
"She is a multifaceted talent who connects with our audience on so many levels," he added. "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she'll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras."

When I thought about writing this post, I was going to use it as a forum to scold those horribly annoying people who can't have lunch with you because they're too busy tweeting about having lunch with you.
And then I realized I am one of those people and I grew immensely uncomfortable.
I used to be normal. Then I got an iPhone.
I used to have this wretched little Blackberry that did nothing – and even that it does poorly. I would gaze at my husband's iPhone with a longing in my heart: the touch screen, the plethora of apps, Facebook so clear and bright. So when it was finally time for an upgrade, I splurged on my own iPhone.
And now it's like crack to me.
Plus: Life in the Fast Lane (For One Day, At Least)
If I don't have the lil sucker with me I feel like somebody removed my pants without me looking.
I'm like a blind puppy searching for her mother: "Come back, come back! I'll die without you."
When I can't find my phone I think my heart actually beats faster. Wow that's really weird to put that in writing.
And a couple months after getting it, I wasn't capable of having a conversation with somebody because I need to check … what? What is it exactly that I need to check?
The recent drivel on Facebook?
The mind-numbing nonsense of Twitter?
My email?
My texts?
Is something on the brink of happening that's so important it overrides my actual life? Or have I somehow gotten confused about where life is actually lived?
Honestly, I think it's the latter. I got so addicted to social media and the ego boost it gives me – People like my post and therefore they must like me, so clearly I have value and purpose on earth! – that online life somehow became more interesting, engaging and rewarding than real life.
Because let's all get something clear: Social media is not real life. Perhaps we should all say that together as a mantra each morning. Social media is not real life.
And while I'm busy reading posts on Facebook with virtually no relevance to my life (no offense, friends, you know I love you all) and responding to email and text messages that could totally wait, my real life is screaming right by me at warp speed, whether or not I'm paying attention.
My kids want to go to the park. My idiot dog is flailing around in front of his tennis ball. Flowers need to get planted. My husband would totally dig some cuddle time.
But I can't. A complete stranger just tweeted at me and I feel the compulsive need to respond.
Plus: Why I Told My Daughter She Sucks At Sports
Meanwhile, my mom has grown a year older and my best friend is waiting for a visit, and I've got work to do and books to read and a damn life to live.
But what's happening on Facebook?
When I'm 85, will I appreciate the moments I spent arguing with semi-conscious strangers who have trolled my page? Or will I wish I would have read that book to my toddler a few days ago, when she crawled up on my lap and I told her "In a few minutes, honey. Mama's busy."
When will those few minutes come, and what exactly am I busy doing?
Nothing. I'm doing nothing.
But I'm tweeting about it.
Maybe next time, when the opportunity arises, I'll post something new: "Going offline to return to the living. See you tomorrow." And then I'll sit down with my kid and live.
Actually, that just made me think of an excellent tweet. Hang on a sec ...

Parody Painting of Putin in Women's Underwear Seized in Russian Raid
A painting depicting politicians Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev in women's underwear was one of the items Russian authorities confiscated Monday upon raiding a newly-opened St. Petersburg art gallery that had shown solidarity with Russia's gay-rights movement.
The off-beat gallery, known as the Museum of Authority, opened on August 15 with an inaugural exhibit called "The Rulers" that featured paintings by artist Konstantin Altunin of public figures such as President Barack Obama, former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and Mr. Putin. The idea of the museum had been to put on exhibits relating to various authorities, said founder Alexander Donskoi.
Much of the inaugural exhibit was raunchy or politically-charged. One painting depicted St. Petersburg politician Vitaly Milonov – who spearheaded a local "gay propaganda" law that became inspiration for similar national legislation – against a rainbow background. The law bans people from expressing support for "non-traditional" lifestyles in front of minors. A national version of it was signed into law in June.
Mr. Milonov accompanied police at the gallery, according to Mr. Donskoi. The officers confiscated the portrait of Mr. Milonov – which was hanging on the wall between two sexually-explicit paintings, according to photos – as well as the painting depicting Messrs. Putin and Medvedev in women's underwear.
Authorities also took two other works of art. One was a painting of Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill with criminal-style tattoos mixing Soviet and religious iconography. The other was one of Yelena Mizulina, the Kremlin-allied Duma deputy and morality crusader who led the drive to pass Russia's "gay propaganda" law nationally. That painting was entitled "The Erotic Dreams of Deputy Mizulina."
Mr. Milonov couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
In a statement on its website, the St. Petersburg branch of Russia's Interior Ministry said it had dispatched officers to the museum on Monday after someone complained that the gallery's contents may be illegal. "Following an initial inspection, police seized four paintings that have been sent off for analysis, on the basis of which a procedural decision will be made," the statement said.
The Interior Ministry statement did not say anything about closing the museum, but Mr. Donskoi says it has been closed down and won't reopen. A video on the museum's Russian social-networking page shows a police officer sealing shut the door to the gallery.
Last weekend, the museum offered free entry "in solidarity with Russia's LGBT community." The "password" to gain free admission was for people to say they were gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered at the door. The issue has come to the fore amid calls by some Western activists for a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi due to the new "gay propaganda" law.
Mr. Donskoi said there were warnings on the exhibition so that minors wouldn't enter. He also said there were messages warning people whose religious beliefs might be offended not to come inside. In addition to passing the gay-propaganda law earlier this year, Russia's parliament also passed a law criminalizing public actions that "insult the religious feelings of the faithful."
Mr. Donskoi isn't new to controversy. He was the mayor of Russia's northern city of Arkhangelsk from 2005 to 2007 but faced criminal charges after announcing plans to run in the 2008 presidential election. He was found guilty of abuse of office and given a suspended sentence. He says the charges were a trumped-up attempt to remove him from politics.
The former politician then went on to open a so-called museum of erotica in Moscow, as well as a USSR Museum with a fake corpse of Vladimir Lenin that looks like it is breathing. The Museum of Authority was his newest project—but he fears it may have gone too far.
Under new laws authorities could convict a person even for what he or she writes on a social networking website, Mr. Donskoi said. "I'm very afraid in this situation," he said. "Because today the authorities can do whatever they want."

Restaurant Review
Zea Rotisserie & Grill
Fowl Play
Why did the chicken cross the road? Easy. To get far, far away from the searing flames at Zea Rotisserie & Grill, where tender, juicy legs, breasts and thighs far surpass the level of "finger-lickin' good."
What's more difficult is figuring out what I liked more—the moist meat, the fluffy sweetness of the memorable mashed sweet potatoes or the strategically stacked mound of Thai-glazed ribs. Or maybe it was the naturally sugar-sweet corn nibbles in melted butter. It's possible that my favorite part of the meal was the dentalwork-busting slice of chocolate toffee mousse.
First, I had to get past the atmosphere. There was nothing terribly wrong with the place, but there was this weird, middle-class austerity to it that seemed sort of posed. Like seeing a family at a casual picnic dressed in stiff, starchy church clothes.
So Zea has a Sunday-
The wine list is middle of the road, with such suburban favorites as Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay, Beringer White Zinfandel, Red Rock Merlot, Rosemount Estates Shiraz and Toasted Head Cabernet Sauvignon. The rest of Zea's menu is rotisserie bistro fare with heavy Creole (Zea is part of a family of restaurants in Louisiana) and Asian influences. Twice-cooked crispy duck ($18.75) is fried in peanut oil, and the ribs come dry-rubbed, Thai-style or hickory barbecue-sauced (half-rack $13.75, full-rack $22).
Let's talk about those ribs. They were baby back pork, cooked to falling apart, laced with a spicy chili-soy glaze, then sprinkled with sesame seeds, shaved basil, green onions and cilantro. They were so delectable I was pondering how piggish it would be of me to have a second order.
I'm glad I didn't suck down another plate, though. The signature Zea rotisserie chicken ($11.75 half chicken) was up next. The skin was crispy in all the right places and dusted with seasoning, encasing such rich, melting sections of perfect poultry that it was difficult to stop eating. In fact, I underestimated how much I could handle without hurting myself.
The plate came with one side dish, but in the interest of exploration I sucked down two: buttered corn and whipped sweet potatoes. You could easily float a cruise ship on the liquid butter surrounding the island of crisp, sweet corn. (I don't think it's possible to have too much butter on corn.) The sweet potatoes were whipped to the consistency of dense Cool Whip. To my overwhelming satisfaction, there wasn't a burnt marshmallow in sight.
Yes, I had gone way over the line with all that meat and butter. Even so, an order of chocolate toffee mousse ($5.99) was a fitting, if laborious, end to my gluttonous orgy. This intense, medium-sized slice of Kahlua-laden chocolate mousse was topped with thick chocolate and caramel sauces, toffee chunks, chopped pecans and bittersweet cocoa powder.
Oh, the beautiful pain my stomach felt! I hobbled toward the door, narrowly avoiding running headlong into a well-dressed family in the lobby. If gluttony is a sin, then airmail me straight to the fiery pit. I can't resist the flesh of a fire-grilled chicken.
The Alibi Recommends:
• Chicken, extra skin if you can get it
• Whipped sweet potatoes
• Chocolate toffee mousse
• Manager Maren says, "The Thai ribs are the most popular thing on the menu!"
