At the National Gallery
Peter Campbell
A few years ago a friend spent some weeks making a copy of Raeburn's The Archers: the double portrait had recently been acquired by the National Gallery, their first painting by a Scottish artist. She began work at Christie's, but the gallery wanted the picture on the wall and she had to finish her copy there. Public confrontation of picture and replica made comment inevitable. The pleasantries were repetitive – 'You'll be able to hang it on the wall and sneak off with the real one' – and followed no national boundaries. Children generally made the most intelligent remarks: two shaven-headed boys looked for a long time, then one pointed out a fault in a shadow. The man who said that what she would need to match one area was red lead brought some in the following day. It was clear that many people found watching a copy being made more interesting than looking at the pictures they had come to see.

Fergus Falls, Minnesota – from www.fergusfallsjournal.com – With as many as one in four Internet searches relating to porn, chances are you know someone who has viewed illicit material online. Abundant Life Assembly, Calvary Free Lutheran and Good Shepard Lutheran churches have gathered together to create a public forum to discuss the industry's effect on individuals and families, with a surprising spokesperson.
Chrissy Moran, a former adult film star, will be speaking at a Center for the Arts at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Among topics Moran will be discussing are her struggles with her self-image before and after leaving the porn industry, the permanency of the Internet and lack of control over one's own images.
During the event, audience members will be able to use their mobile phones to text questions to a phone number set-up for the forum. Questions will be screened and forwarded to Moran to answer.
"We want to get people talking about these issues," said the Rev. Duane Smith of Abundant Life Assembly Church. "Providing the texting capability will encourage participation while protecting privacy."
Smith feels pornography cheapens people's views of women and hurts relationships.
"Images are airbrushed, situations are not real," said Smith. "Because pornography is so prevalent and creates unrealistic expectations, it hurts one's ability to form a normal relationship. Pornography hurts self-esteem, and it hurts the soul."
Moran will also address the addictiveness of pornography and the harm caused to family and friends of those involved in porn.
"It took a lot of time to develop normal friendships," said Moran. "I was scared to death because I felt like no matter where I went I had a big sign on me that told who I used to be."
"It's such a prevalent problem in society and churches," said the Rev. Jim Johnson of Calvary Free Lutheran Church. "We are doing the program to raise awareness and provide resources to the community."
According to research Johnson has done on the Internet on sites like www.just1clickaway.org, 93 percent of boys and 62 percent of girls will be exposed to internet porn, with the average age of first exposure being 11 years old. In 56 percent of divorce cases, one party had an obsessive interest in porn sites; 47 percent of Christians admit pornography is a major problem in their homes, and one in six women struggle with pornography.
Moran was involved in the church early in her childhood, and credits putting her trust in God for helping to turn her life around.
Organizers will have information and resources available for teens, families and individuals that attend the event Saturday.

This client came to me wanting to remodel his Master bathroom. His large tub is his favorite place to relax at the end of the day so we wanted to further push that feeling of relaxation. He suggested wanting it to feel as if he were on the beach and I thought that was the perfect place to start!
We stuck with a fairly neutral color palette with a lot of warm tans and some splashes of blue carried throughout the tile. The cabinetry and countertops, sinks, and shower all echo the earthy, beach feel. I really can't wait to see it all come together!
I've been planning this bathroom project for a couple of months now and I'm excited to say the demo finally started this past week! Before the project gets too far along remodeling-wise, I want to share some of the before photos:
Some of the features the bathroom already has going for it is lots of space, dynamic ceilings, large windows for natural light, & plenty of storage. That pretty much covers the basics of any dream bathroom.
Now it's simply a matter of giving this baby a facelift and bringing it up to date! Lot's of beautiful stone tile, contemporary fixtures, amazing cabinetry, awesome lighting, and stunning details will do just that.
Since the current layout of the bathroom is functional and space isn't an issue, the layout is staying exactly the same. Other than that, pretty much everything is going!
I stopped in the other day to meet the contractors and go over the plans, questions, etc. and this is what is looked like after only one day of demolition:
Goodbye bathtub!
Goodbye looooooong vanity!
And goodbye shower.
I'll keep you updated as I check in. I'm excited to see the progress! Stay tuned tomorrow - I'm going to be sharing a mood board for this project to give an idea of the materials. It's going to be stunning!

Lowther Castle stands on a site occupied by the Lowther family for over 800 years. It sits in a 3,000 acre medieval deer park, which is part of a 75,000 acre agricultural estate within Cumbria's Lake District National Park. The Gothic Revival building, now partially ruined, was the third home to be built on the site. It was designed by Robert Smirke for the first Earl of Lonsdale and was completed in 1806.
After the castle was requisitioned by the army during the second world war the sixth Earl sold the castle contents in 1947. In 1957 the seventh Earl removed the roof and interior structures of the building, which was the only way to retain the building in some form whilst protecting the rest of the estate from a £25 million death duty bill. The gardens were then used to house a large chicken farm and commercial forestry business, with chicken sheds and Sitka spruce right up close to the castle ruins. The surrounding historic gardens were left to decay for forty years.
We were first appointed in 2008 to provide a landscape and gardens masterplan for a Heritage Lottery Fund application for the cultural redevelopment of the castle and gardens. Our original masterplan was then taken on by Land Use Consultants, who oversaw the initial stages of the resuscitation of the historic landscape, including the reinstatement of the South Lawn at the rear of the castle.
Since our re-appointment in 2011 we have developed and implemented several elements of the masterplan including a new Parterre Garden built on the site of the previous Lowther castle ruins, new plantings to the castle interior and landscaping of the Arrival Courtyard, which will be planted with specimen hornbeam topiary in January 2017. We are working closely with the Head Gardener to develop plans for a new Rose Garden on the site of the historic Rose Garden, which is scheduled to open in 2018. We are also currently developing plans for the landscaping around a new Bike Hub.

text: This is best done on the grill, but the stovetop will work as well. Grilling tip: A common mistake people make when grilling is to keep turning the meat over and over and poking it, etc. It isn't necessary- you really only need to turn it once and if you want those nice cross hatch marks from the grill when the chicken is done give it a quick second turn in the other direction.

text: Al Sebert would like to see Aberdeen be more patriotic, including on holidays like today. Today - Flag Day - is the 230th birthday of the American flag. Sebert, Veterans of Foreign Wars quarter master, said it's hard to find patriotism in Aberdeen because the city doesn't have a big celebration. He said some cities celebrate Flag Day with parades - Aberdeen doesn't. However, Jim Ragatz, of the Exchange Club, said people can find patriotism if they just walk down Main Street. Starting about 6 a.m. today, the First United Methodist Church youth group put up more than 400 flags around Aberdeen, Ragatz said. The flags will be taken down before 6 p.m. today. The flags are sponsored by area businesses and individuals, he said. Regardless, Sebert said patriotism should be higher. "It wasn't good up until 9/11," he said. "(Patriotism) was better after 9/11, but now it's died off." Not even the VFW has a celebration, he said. It would be best if local offices pooled their resources and helped each other out, he said. He said one example of the United States' lack of patriotism is watching fans during the national anthem at sporting events locally and on television. "Some have hats on, some cross their hearts, and some don't do anything," he said. Sebert said it's very disheartening to see the desecration of the American flag. Last year, lawmakers rejected an amendment banning the desecration of the American flag. Sebert was in favor of the amendment, he said. Flag sales differ among the stores in the Aberdeen area. At ShopKo, sales have been pretty slow, said Jeff Hinkle, store manager. He said the sale of flags is hard to track because it varies year to year. He said flags are typically sought after just before Flag Day, but in the years since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, interest has seemed to have trailed off. Dana Oye, manager at Target, said her store sees a good amount of customers looking for flags. "There's always a big demand," she said. Ragatz said the Exchange Club flags are put up between 12 and 16 times per year depending on the number of city events. The chore is a fund-raiser of sorts for the youth groups, he said. The Exchange Club fundraises money by offering the flag sponsorship to businesses, and installing the flags is a fund-raiser for the youth groups because they're paid for it, he said. Youth groups looking to help put up flags are encouraged to contact the Exchange Club, Ragatz said. While the American flag was created in 1776, Flag Day celebrates the adoption of the American flag by Continental Congress on June 14, 1777.

On Mac Geek Gab Episode 413, John and Dave discussed several ways to determine which applications on your Mac were based on Java, Oracle's multi-platform programming language.
Many methods were discussed during the show, but the simplest one was suggested afterwards by Peter Lewis of Stairways Software, maker of the excellent Keyboard Maestro utility.
To locate Java applications, open Terminal and type the following command:
find /Applications -name "*.jar"
Using the
find command, this query will search the system's Application folder for files that have ".jar" in their name, which identifies them as Java applications, and display a list of all files that meet the search criteria. This command can be modified to find almost anything at any location on your Mac's drive, such as:
- Search the entire drive for Java applications and not just the Applications folder:
find / -name "*.jar"
- Search the User's Documents folder for PDF files: find
~/Documents -name "*.pdf"
- Search the User's Downloads folder for Windows executables find
~/Downloads -name "*.exe"
- Search for a specific file on the Mac:
find / -name "filename.txt"
For more information on using the find command, open Terminal and type:
man find
This will launch the manual for the
find command and allow you to browse the hundreds of different parameters and options for using it. There are also many websites with tutorials for
find and other Unix commands.

Stevie Nicks and Lady Antebellum 'Crossroads' Gets Airdate
In January, Stevie Nicks shared a stage with country superstars Lady Antebellum to record an episode of CMT's 'Crossroads.' After seven months, there's finally an airdate.
The episode will show at 10PM on Sept. 13. Nicks and Lady A (Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott) trade verses on hits from both artists as well as some covers. They performed Billy Joel's 'New York State of Mind,' but there's no confirmation on which songs made the final cut.
Highlights from the set reportedly include Fleetwood Mac's 'Rhiannon' and 'Landslide' and Lady Antebellum's 'Need You Now' and 'Downtown.' Nicks said she spent three months learning the trio's catalog and was particularly fond of 'Golden,' a ballad from the group's most recent album, also called 'Golden.' She called the song "their 'Landslide.'" The concert was recorded at the Sony Pictures Studio in Los Angeles on Jan. 29 in front of approximately 1,000 fans.
'Crossroads' pairs up country stars with their pop and rock influences and contemporaries. Previous episodes have combined the works of Journey with Rascal Flatts, the Doobie Brothers with Luke Bryan and Def Leppard with Taylor Swift.

SOURCE: Speech-Language & Audiology Canada - Saskatoon Health Region Cuts to Audiology & Speech Pathology Positions will Negatively Affect Patient Care
Hello blogging my old friend...Well, I've certainly pushed my hiatus this time around; but you know what? I think it's time to try and get back into the swing of things. I'm not promising we'll see weekly postings, but we'll see what develops. After all, there's still a lot of things to criticize with the way this province and country are running themselves.
And with that: Let's begin.
I'd like to talk today about an issue that is near and dear to my heart: Speech Pathology.
Those who knew me as a young kid know that I had my fair share of speech problems. Certain vowels and consonant sounds didn't come easily to me, and my tongue had a tendency to get tied in knots trying to pronounce certain words or phrases. While my pronouncing has gotten better, by miles, I still find myself tripping over certain words from time to time. And I take careful care when pronouncing words like "shark" to make sure people don't think I'm saying "shock."
Growing up, it wasn't easy. Kids around the playground often loved to "get Scott to say Puck" or "Muck" or any other "--CK" word because it sounded exactly like a word kids our age shouldn't have known.
My brother is fond of retelling a story about my second grade teacher coming to his classroom because she couldn't quite understand what I was talking about and maybe my brother could understand it a little better.
As family tends to do, I had more than a few cousins or uncles who thought it was fun to poke fun at the little guy who couldn't speak quite right. I won't mutter some of the terms they used to describe my style of speech, but needless to say they were things that a younger me didn't like to hear. Granted, it was just general family ribbing; and I'm sure some of them thought that being a little hard or joking on me would help in the long run to make me want to overcome the problems. Either way, I don't carry any grudges about it now.
But those experiences, looking back on it, definitely factored into my natural introversion. It was easier to say nothing, or keep quiet, than it was to speak up or say something and risk either a mocking nickname or many rounds of "Can you repeat that?"
But do you know what did help?
A speech pathologist. I remember being slightly confused about the whole ordeal of being called out of the classroom and sent to the library to spend between twenty and thirty minutes with a woman who wasn't a teacher in the building. It was slightly odd to just "talk" for a bit, and then be taught ways to improve the way I spoke.
Things like placing your tongue on certain spots on your teeth to produce the right sound. Making "CHA" noises and other basic sounds that now remind me very much of scenes straight out of "My Fair Lady". I can still recall just the simpleness of often reading a story a loud, or just talking in general about things that interested me (at that time, it would have been mostly dinosaurs, sharks, and outer space.)
It was a definite outlet for a shy kid who talked funny. And it helped, not just in making my speech a little more understandable; but also perhaps providing a bit more confidence than I had before.
My story, however, is not a unique one. Some of the most recognizable voices, from James Earl Jones to Samuel L. Jackson to Joe Biden suffered from speech impediments. Can you imagine a world where a young James Earl Jones was never given the support needed to overcome his impediment to go on to voice some of the most memorable characters in cinematic history?
When a young person isn't given the tools they need to overcome a speech problem, external factors are quite literally robbing them of their voice. Although I still have a quite naturally introverted personality, I do wonder how much worse it would be if I had never had the experience of addressing my speech problems with the help of a speech pathologist.
And it's thoughts like that that make me truly angry to see cuts to Speech Pathology occurring in Saskatoon. While it might not be an issue that comes to mind for many as an important health concern, I can assure you (having lived it) that it is for those kids. The inability to communicate with your peers, to be taken seriously by adults, or to express your thoughts and ideas is incredibly frustrating.
So, to see the Saskatoon Health Region lay off those who are working to ensure we are giving voices to the next generation is incredibly disheartening.
And as more and more cuts come to hospitals, not just in audiology and speech pathology, but to more areas in front line care: such as our nurses, especially in the mental health field, it speaks to a fundamental incomprehension of our current government on the matter of health care. Since 2008, the province has touted LEAN as a means of saving our health regions millions of dollars. If that is the case, why are they now staring down the barrel of millions of dollars in cuts?
Something, at least in terms of the math (and it seems to be this way a lot with the Sask Party) doesn't add up.

Dallas star Victoria Principal is unlikely to return to the series, producer Michael M Robin has claimed.
Principal played Pamela Barnes Ewing on the original Dallas between 1978 and 1987, but has not reprised her role in TNT's revamp.
"She's indicated that it's something she's not interested in," Robin told Assignment X. "We take our leads from a lot of that so far."
However, the producer added that other stars from the original show could still appear in the new Dallas, which has been picked up for a second season.
"As far as we're concerned, everyone who was in the old show could be in this show," he said. "And it's just about where the storytelling takes you, but we can revisit anyone who is in the mythology of the series."
Dallas showrunner Cynthia Cidre recently revealed that she would like to bring more classic characters back to the show, naming Gary Ewing (Ted Shackelford) and Valene Ewing (Joan Van Ark) as two possible candidates.
The new series will launch on Channel 5 in the UK next month.

The Elephant's Journey
By: and
- Synopsis
- A delightful, witty tale of friendship and adventure from prize-winning novelist José Saramago In 1551, King João III of Portugal gave Archduke Maximilian an unusual wedding present: an elephant named Solomon. In José Saramago's remarkable and imaginative retelling, Solomon and his keeper, Subhro, begin in dismal conditions, forgotten in a corner of the palace grounds. When it occurs to the king and queen that an elephant would be an appropriate wedding gift, everyone rushes to get them ready: Subhro is given two new suits of clothes and Solomon a long overdue scrub. Accompanied by the Archduke, his new wife, and the royal guard, these unlikely heroes traverse a continent riven by the Reformation and civil wars, witnessed along the way by scholars, historians, and wide-eyed ordinary people as they make their way through the storied cities of northern Italy; they brave the Alps and the terrifying Isarco and Brenner Passes; across the Mediterranean Sea and up the Inn River; and at last, toward their grand entry into the imperial city.

Qingyang temple
Qingyang temple
Qingyang Temple (Green Ram Temple) is one of the most famous Taoist holy temples in China. A historical document recorded a legend that Lao-tzu, the high priest of Taoism, was to meet a friend here. Arriving , the man saw only a boy leading two goats-and in an impressive leap of lateral thinking a realiased the boy was Lao-tze.
The temple was originally built in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), a period when Taoism was flourishing. Most of the parts of the temple that remain in existence are restorations from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), including Sanqing Hall, Doulao Hall, Hunyuan Palace, the Eight Trigrams Pavilion, and Wuji Palace.
The most magnificent of these buildings is the Eight Trigrams Pavilion. Built on square foundations, with a colored glazed dome on top, this octagonal building reflects the ancient Chinese philosophy that "the sky is round and the earth is square". There are eight pillars with dragons drawn in relief in the corridor, and colorful caissons and the symbols of eight trigrams are ornately arranged across its ceiling.
Beside the altar of Sanqing Hall stand two eye-catching bronze goats, which were said to be taken from Beijing during the Qing Dynasty. One of the goats is actually a strange creature with a mouse's ears, an ox's nose, a tiger's claw, a rabbit's mouth, a dragon's horns, a snake's tail, a horse's face, a goat's beard, a monkey's neck, a chicken's eyes, a dog's belly and a pig's thighs.
Many important exhibits of Taoist cultural relics are also on display in Qingyang Temple, such as the wooden engraving of the Dao Zang Ji Yao (Abstract of Collected Taoist Scriptures) and the stone sculpture of Patriarch Lu Dongbin, who was one of the Taoist Immortals in Chinese History.
Wandering through the temple, you will find many locals and visitors eating, drinking tea and playing Mahjong at the temple's teahouse. This is a traditional and extremely popular pastime for the people of Chengdu.

It is about time consumer forums in the UK focused more on the process of the claim, particularly for honest claimants with real problems, who are being treated with suspicion, when they have to call upon their insurers to do the job they paid them for in the first place. We have dealing with one such case on this site where due to the treatment proffered to one of our claimants. For six years the claimant used a broker to arrange insurance cover for a courier business, until deciding to accept a slightly cheaper deal direct with one of our larger insurance companies.
Insurance Policy cancelled whilst Ombudsman rules in Claimants favour.
MoreThan were happy to accept the fee to insure company vehicles until it came to the time when an accident, not caused by the claimant's staff, resulted in a claim being submitted. Then came weeks of delay, one hour long telephone interviews with the claimant's driver, from a company that MoreThan use to "investigate" claims, and questioning of the claimant, with the insurer wanting information that was irrelevant to the claim pending.
Then MoreThan cancelled his policy and gave contradictory reasons for doing so even though, the company they brought in to investigate, advised it was a solid claim and they should honour it. After a delay that cost our claimant more in time than the vehicle was worth, he decided to take his case up with the Ombudsman. This was after the Customer Service Manager of MoreThan had ignored his communication, until the Managing Director and CEO got involved.
Now the Ombudsman has ruled in his favour but this is not the end of the story. The vehicle involved in the accident, became the property of More Than and he was told to return any documentation pertaining to the vehicle and let the DVLA know, which he did.
A catalogue of disaster and appalling customer service
Then, he received a letter from Copart, the company Morethan liaised with, to take the vehicle, telling him that they had made attempts to deliver the vehicle back to him without success and they were going to start charging him storage costs for it, which he would have to pay before they released the vehicle back to him.
A vehicle he doesn't own, has sent off all the official documentation to say he doesn't own it , and fortunately copied all documents before posting them. Even more fortunately the Ombudsman is aware of this latest piece of gross inefficiency and will be contacting the insurance company to make sure our claimant does not get left with a large bills for storage costs.
We pay our money in good faith, we check our policies and we make sure that we have the appropriate insurance in place for peace of mind. To our way of thinking then insurance companies should not invalidate policies or refuse claims that have been investigated and found in favour of the claimant.
We are taking this further but we need to hear from you!
What we want is a streamlined and standardised professional service, where each claimant is taken at face value, when there is clear evidence of a genuine claim. And together we can push for this to happen, but it needs more momentum and feedback from the paying customer. We at iRateiSlate, can and will take on your concerns but we need actual examples and case studies from you to move this forward.
Contact us now, it is quick, it is free of charge and we WILL make sure your voice is heard and action taken.

Krauthammer: Trump Told Our Adversaries 'America Is Back'
Charles Krauthammer agrees with President Trump's decision to launch 59 missiles targeting a Syrian air base in response to the recent chemical weapons attack on civilians.
He said it was "extremely important" for Trump to show Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, his allies Russia and Iran, and anyone else watching around the world that the Trump administration will not be reluctant to show strength.
"The world had looked at this area and seen the profound abdication for eight years, where the United States had disappeared," Krauthammer said. "America is back, and it is liable to react. ... That, I think, is going to change a lot in the world from a single response like this."
Krauthammer pointed out that Trump only ordered airstrikes on one Syrian government air base, as opposed to all six.
He said that shows that Trump just wanted to "send a message."
"He just wanted to say, 'It's not that there's a new sheriff in town. There is a sheriff in town. There was an absence for eight years. America is back, and you're not allowed to do whatever you want," Krauthammer said. "That in and of itself is going to have a big effect."

Google has a new deal with personal computer maker Dell to preinstall Google features on a lot more Dell computers.
The first PCs with Google on board will be shipped by the end of the month, Google CEO Eric Schmidt told analysts recently.
He would only say Google was sharing revenue with Dell, but wouldn't be any more specific. He also said to expect similar future deals between the two companies.
There's a lot that's to Google's advantage here, especially considering that Microsoft was rumored to be seeking the same kind of deal with Dell.
Further reading
It's a big plus for software or services providers to have their products come already loaded onto a personal computer. Analysts repeatedly say that people generally use, and become attached to, these features.
A deal between Google and Dell of this variety had been expected since January, when Google confirmed a relationship between the two companies.
The unknowns at the time were the length of the contract, the number of computers involved and other such details.
Schmidt released the details of the deal during an address to financial analysts today.
The deal is apparently three years in length, and involves preinstalling Google's desktop search feature and a Web browser tool bar on millions of computers.
Also, the Web browsers installed in Dell laptops will be set to a page developed by Google and Dell. It can be seen here.
The expectation is that Google is paying Dell about $1 for each machine going out the door with the preinstall.
Although that agreement is still far short of $1 billion, additional agreements and add-ons would make up the remainder, or the per-computer pricing might actually range between $5 and $10, according to the speculation.
Dell has seen softening sales and the Google deal would represent a welcome source of added revenue.
At one time, Dell seemed solely tied to Intel and Microsoft. The decision to allow:00 AMD chips in the high-end server line, and now the apparent decision to allow Google onto the startup screen, are telling signals of how far Dell is willing to go to get growth back on track. Earlier this week, Dell also announced that it was opening two stores, although customers in those retail stores would still have to order their systems online.

In the past 5 months there has been little action in my dating life. I have stayed on some dating sites, and by some I mean two, but the quality of the guys on them is terrible. I admit I can be very picky but there has to be someone out there that meets most of the qualities I'm looking for.
After quite some time without any hint of a date, I decided that I would join Match once again and see if there were any new guys on there. It's been a year since I got on Match the first time. The first thing I saw when I rejoined was the number of guys that have looked at my profile over the past year. See, once you disable your profile, you profile is still view-able but you just cannot see the action. 10,256 guys have viewed my online dating profile on Match. Suuuriously?!?! That's a ton of guys. You would think out of ten thousand guys, I would like one of them. NOPE. Not a one of 'em.
I have talked to a fair amount of guys over the past 5 months but nothing ever comes of it. That's almost more annoying that bad dates. Repeating my story a billion times to someone I will never meet. It's exhausting. Not to mention the emotions that come with the let down. I've learned to not be interested until I actually go on a date. What's the point of having emotions if they are only going to be let down in the end? That makes me sound like I'm not giving anyone their fair chance, but I've found it to be easier not to care until something really happens.
Ten thousand two hundred fifty six guys and not a one of them have sparked my interest…
On to the next.

I may have mentioned previously that I am a long-time fan of Mario Lanza. Here is his beautiful rendition of Moonlight Serenade complete with words. I know many of you prefer modern-day music but do pause for a minute or two and listen to this magnificent voice. YouTube is providing me with some beautiful music these days that I can listen to when on my computer doing other things, such as playing Scrabble or working on my 'farms' (and that is another story).
Labels: A beautiful serenade

It is a nice voice, I think my mum would have liked this. Certainly my mother in law would, she was 91 yesterday.ReplyDelete

I ran into some flood water about 4-6 inches and drove slowly through. Minutes later I had a flashing check engine light. I knew this probably meant a misfire. It was, I had a code for a misfire on cylinder 3 and also one for the crankshaft position sensor. I replaced the spark plugs, coil pack, and wires and the engine seemed to shake less, but upon viewing the engine I noticed a LOT of movement when shifting gears. So I replaced the upper engine mount (dogbone).
With this I am currently confused. The misfire seems to be gone, but the shaking is still VERY bad. The engine feels weak and like it's struggling. There is visible vibration in the steering wheel. I don't feel like the crankshaft position sensor could cause all this could it? And that's really all I needed to replace the whole time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
have the same problem?

While consumer tech devices often focus on incremental changes -- think Apple's upcoming larger iPhone -- IBM (NYSE:IBM) has been busy working on a new chip that processes information like a human brain.
The TrueNorth chip has the potential to vastly change how future computers work, how much energy they use, and what type of tasks they can handle. However, more than a few skeptics question whether IBM has created the most advanced neurosynaptic computer chip, so let's look at exactly what it is and why it's important.
How it works
Here are the specs for the TrueNorth chip:
- Non-von Neumann computer architecture
- 5.4 billion transistors
- 4,096 neurosynaptic cores
- One million neurons and 256 million synapses
- Built on Samsung's 28nm process technology
- Consumes 70mW during operation
Really exciting stuff, right?
Let's boil all this down for those who don't know much about neurons or computer architecture.
For the past 70 years or so, computer chips have processed information in basically the same way--they send data back and forth linearly between a memory chip and processor. This system works well when processing calculations, but when things start getting complex -- say, for facial recognition or sounds -- it's not so great. The back and forth between the memory chip and processor can cause the data to bottleneck and slow down the process.
IBM says TrueNorth achieves cognitive computing, in which the chip mimics a brain's ability for perception, cognition, and action. To do this, the chip emulates the brain's neurons and synapses.
Neurons are brain cells that process electrical signals and send them to other parts of the brain. Human brains have about 100 billion of them. Synapses help those signals connect to other neurons, passing along the information, and we have about 100 trillion of these.
IBM says traditional computers focus on language and analytical thinking, while neurosynaptic chips like TrueNorth "address the senses and pattern recognition." The new chip achieves this, in part, by using cores that have memory, computation, and communication built into the same system.
Here's IBM's description of how it works:
Why this is better
The benefit of processing information in this fashion, rather than like traditional computers, is twofold: IBM's TrueNorth can process much more difficult tasks and it uses less energy.
An MIT Technology Review article published earlier this year mentioned Qualcomm's neuromorphic chips, which act in a similar way to TrueNorth. The article said chips like this "encode and transmit data in a way that mimics the electrical spikes generated in the brain as it responds to sensory information." These chips can learn how to recognize an object, like a dog, by seeing one first and then identifying other dogs after that. This comes instead of needing to be programmed and told exactly what a dog is.
The other advantage with TrueNorth is its minimal power consumption. Current computer chips run all the time, whether processing information or not. But IBM's new chip has cores that only run when processing information, then shut off when not being used. The company says TrueNorth uses the same amount of battery power as a hearing aid -- which is just a fraction of the power consumed by today's computer chips.
A few skeptics
Not everyone is completely convinced of TrueNorth's capabilities. Yann LeCun, Facebook's director of artificial intelligence research, told The New York Times, "The chip appears to be very limited in many ways, and the performance is not what it seems." He said testing that showed the chip detects pedestrians and cars "won't impress anyone in computer vision or machine learning." He also followed up some of this thoughts in a Facebook post.
Nayaran Srinivasa, a researcher at HRL Laboratories who is working on a similar chip, said in a Wired article, "It's definitely an achievement to make a chip of that scale ... but I think the claims are a bit stretched because there is no learning happening on chip."
But if there's one group that believes in the TrueNorth's potential, it's the U.S. government. The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has poured $53 million into the TrueNorth project, run by Cornell University researchers and IBM, since 2008.
IBM's chip is closer to production readiness than others like it, but it's likely years away from any commercial application. The company says TrueNorth could be used for public safety, health monitoring, transportation, and even vision assistance for the blind.
While IBM says TrueNorth processes information like a human brain, and in some respects it does, it appears the chip may have a large learning curve. As it continues to be developed and undergoes more testing, TrueNorth's real-world capabilities should become more apparent.

I hand dyed a batch of superwash merino a few days ago. I love how it takes up the dye. If you were to dye some merino alongside some superwash with the same dyestock, same method, they would both come out rather differently, I know because I have done it.
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic of the fibre before I started drafting and spinning, so here's a pic of the fibre all ready to spin:
I'm spinning this as a fractal yarn.
I split the fibre in half lengthways and spun one half of it onto one bobbin. I divided the second half into three lots lengthways and I'm now spinning those three lengths of fibre onto one bobbin, starting at the same colour every time. Then they will be plyed together for a 2 ply yarn!
On a sad note, my beautiful dog Ruby passed away yesterday. Life already feels so strange without her presence. Ruby has been part of our family since she was 6 weeks old and she was 14 years and 9 months when she passed. A very good age for a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Ruby and my 2 Son's grew up together. We are all so saddened by her loss. It's a case of keeping myself busy (as always).
A dog is for life, but unfortunately only for their life, not ours. We have many happy memories of her. She would have been 15 on Christmas Day 2015.
Ruby at 12 weeks old.
Ruby, photo taken yesterday morning. She passed away in the afternoon. Rest in peace my little Princess.xx

QT Hotels and Resorts recently threw a housewarming for Queenstown locals from across the tourism, hospitality and business sectors. Changing up the typical housewarming custom, QT Queenstown gave rather than received, gifting ten free room nights to 10 local charities nominated by housewarming guests. The ten charities were announced as the winners of the ten free room nights during the event. With Happiness House receiving two nights due to overwhelming support on the night.
"We love the fact that so many people nominated and supported our centre. We are always so appreciative to have Happiness Houses' work recognised by members of the community. We will use this opportunity to raise funds, and it is another chance to raise awareness of our centre and what we can provide to wonderful Wakatipu." Said Keren Stuart, Manager of Happiness House.
"We wanted to go one step further in backing up our intent to be a community partner by showing QT's support for local charities and not-for-profits and the incredible work they do in the community," Simon adds. "QT doesn't mind if the ten free room nights given to the chosen ten charities are used at a charity auction to raise money, or as a thank you gift to a hard-working volunteer member of their team. We are thrilled with the ten charities chosen and hope our contribution helps." Added Simon White, General Manager of Event Hotels and Resorts.
The 10 charities announced as winners of a free room night were:
- Sustainable Queenstown

Jones was shot, apparently from behind, and was found outside a home in the 2400 block of Sixth Street, said Muskegon Heights Police Chief Lynne Gill. Police responded to a shooting complaint around 5 p.m., he said.
Jones was taken to Mercy Health Partners' Hackley Campus, where he was pronounced dead, Gill said.
Detectives worked into the night following up on leads, including a report that a white sedan with Illinois plates was involved in the shooting, Gill said.
HOMICIDE TIPSAnyone with information about the shooting death of 18-year-old Kentae Jones in Muskegon Heights Thursday can call Silent Observer at 231-722-7463.
Gill said police currently do not have any suspects in the case. He said police were not familiar with the victim.
When asked if Jones lived at the residence, Gill said he was uncertain. When officers arrived at the scene, a couch was on the steps leading into the home, he said.
"It would lead one to believe he, and possibly some other person, was moving that couch either in or out of the residence," Gill said.

There's a lot to like with the new park, but not so much with how the boys are playing. They aren't hitting with runners in scoring position; the bullpen has been erratic; and the Mike Pelfrey and Oliver Perez have been a disappointment.
You can say with a hit here or there, or a fly ball caught, or a well-pitched game, they could be 6-1. You could also say they could be 1-6. They are 3-4, which is about right, and totally wrong considering the talent there is on this club.
What's been your biggest disappointment in the Mets' start?

Bonfire of the Inanities
Seriously, I have no doubt an article of this grade could be found quickly in People or Entertainment Weekly. The primary difference between the Times and Redbook is that people reading the former probably think they're too smart to bother with the latter, even though they frequently end up reading the exact same sort of shit. There is absolutely no logical reason a contestant from some indistinguishable limey reality talent show should merit this (or any) attention, whether she looks like Shrek or Heidi Klum.
Since I get up an hour or so early to get on the treadmill and lift weights before heading in to work, I've had the stark misfortune of acquainting myself with the morass of morning teevee. Christ, what a stinking butthole of broadcast manure these shows are. Commercials for bizarre fourth-generation People's Court knock-offs and mortgage-lending scams, bookending the most trivial, asinine, sensationalized nonsense passed off as "news".
It's the sort of shit TMZ and the E! Channel specialize in, but without all the irony. I honestly don't know how (or hell, what sort of) people sit through the first hour of the Today show, much less the fourth. If this is not a deliberate conspiracy to condition viewers to the docility of cattle, prodding them occasionally to some manufactured hot-button issue, I don't know what is.
I've found that going through my DVD collection for the morning workout, throwing on some old Ben Stiller or Mr. Show, or Motörhead or Rush concert videos, to be a much better solution. Feel the burn!

For me, the end of May is a sad time, what with the end of the European soccer season for a couple months, and thus the task of trying to find things to watch while doing four to five miles on the treadmill several times a week. Thank goodness for DirecTV and the DVR, so I can stockpile Daily Show and Reno 911! episodes. Video rental can't be depended upon, so I often turn to using that hour-plus to listen to new music. Thank goodness for the iPod, too, while I'm being grateful for technology.
Occasionally, I sit and wait for some minor work to get done on my vehicle, and since early mornings are the easiest time to do that, I've suffered through the Today show and all that shit a few times. The sheer inanity and vapidity of Regis and Interchangable Bottle Blond make it feel like a vacuum is literally sucking the intelligence out of my skull. They could do a show on the most highbrow subject imaginable and somehow make it sound like the stupidest thing you've ever heard.

I caught a few of the World Cup matches the last time around, and it was better than I thought it would have been. I'd watch it if it came with my satellite package.
As it is, if it weren't for maybe four or five channels and football, I'd just Netflix everything. I got rid of HBO about a month ago, and don't miss it. Two years ago that would have been unthinkable. But it's a big bucket of crap these days.
But yeah, mornings are the biggest wasteland. I found that out real quick during my ten-week "vacation", but my mornings were obviously less structured then. Now I spend that 6:00-7:00 block of time every morning wondering what the hell sort of people actually sit through Cristina's Court and fall for pyramid schemes and diet pills.

NetBarrier 2.1 has a few new features. Whether or not if this will make it harder for the average user to figure out now is a different story. As everyone has probably noticed that has used a previous version of NetBarrier is the difference in the interface, now carrying the infamous OS-X Aqua look.
My favorite new feature would be the choice on part of the user to set what you would like to do with an intruder before it actually happens so that you don't have to be directly in front of the computer to stop him/her. If you liked the feature previously where it popped up a small window to ask you for how long you wanted the person to be off your network, don't worry it is still there. There is also a new little feature if you didn't like the alert sound that NetBarrier 2.0 came with you can change that to another alert sound that is on your computer. Another new key feature would be the filter to filter out all your personal information such as your credit card numbers and your passwords. We all shop online at times and we all worry that our information is somehow leaking.
Another great feature is the NetBarrier control strip. From your control strip you can quickly toggle settings to allow or reject type of connections. With the graphical user interface as seen above you can monitor the amount of incoming and outgoing traffic!
Now the data is filtered as it is going out of your network to wherever you may be putting your sensitive information. Same thing applies for your passwords whether it would be you logging into a website to check your email (ie:hotmail) or logging into a server of any type on the internet.
Another feature would be the Privacy features which hides what websites you visited last which comes in handy especially in a work environment where you share your computer with your co-workers. Also hides browser and platform information for websites that you browse onto that collect information about their surfers. Blocking spam from websites and advertisement banners are also good features as well as helping you control cookies.
One other feature I saw stuck out to us at SecureMac.com, the 'modem lock' feature. This function will lock your modem so it will not be functional. Excellent for laptops or desktops you want to add a extra bit of security to. If your not using your modem then why have it open for connections, you never know who will be around your machines.
For a long time the macintosh was forgotten and most of the software companies stopped researching for the macintosh. Intego does a great job at pleasing their customers and always know what the macintosh users look for which are privacy and security.

- Detection of CodeRed requests

31 days in the box office and "Avatar" is still #1. The film fell only %17 from its previous week and cleared $41.3 million. Total worldwide gross so far is $1.6 billion.
The new film "The Book of Eli" wasn't quite strong enough to unseat James Cameron, but still did very good this weekend, coming in second
Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones" went to wide release this week and instantly jumped to number 3 on the list. That's an improvement of 44,128.79 % from the previous week.
Meanwhile, the Jackie Chan flick "The Spy Next Door" made a measly $9.7million and came in 6th. Expect this one to drop out of the top ten pretty quickly.
Here's the top ten for this weekend according to studio estimates on Sunday:
1 (1) Avatar $41,300,000
2 (new) The Book of Eli $31,615,000

LinkedIn's newest research – the 2016 Soft Skills Report – indicates that 67 per cent of Canadian hiring managers struggle when it comes to finding candidates with the right soft skills compared with just 49 per cent for hard skills. Notably, 61 per cent of Canadian managers also revealed that the lack of soft skills among candidates is limiting their company's productivity. To find out more about the ongoing soft skills shortage, HRM has launched an online poll to identify exactly which areas are most difficult to find in potential new recruits. Compiling ten of the most desirable soft skills, HRM is asking readers to cast their vote on which one proves most challenging to pin down. To have your say, simply follow this link.

Merseyside students go forward to North West Company Programme Young Enterprise Final
Budding young entrepreneurs from All Saints Catholic High School in Kirkby have put their business heads on to compete and win Overall Best Company 2013 in the Merseyside stage of a national Young Enterprise competition which took place at Liverpool John Moores University. The team specialise in the sublimation of a variety of products including Mugs, T-shirts, bags, key rings and hoodies.
Fifteen teams from 10 schools vied to take home the top prize of 'Best Company, after taking part in a Young Enterprise scheme to set up and run their own businesses for a year with the help of business mentors.
Students from Royal Heart Design, All Saints Catholic High School will now go through to the next stage of the competition – the North West Regional Final in Manchester Airport on Monday 17th June.
Diane Bainbridge, Assistant Principal at the College said: ''Our school has taken part in this competition for many many years. This is by far the strongest team we have had and we are thrilled with their success. They work hard and work together and deserve their success. The Company have had a brilliant year and visited some fabulous businesses on their journey.''
The students had to showcase the products and services they've developed in the past year whilst being grilled by an expert panel of judges who scrutinised their business reports and profit margins.
Young Enterprise believes that young people 'learn by doing' and over the years countless young people have been inspired to start up their own businesses after taking part in our Company Programme.
Setting up their own companies while still in school gives young people a unique real-life experience of business and enterprise and gives them invaluable practical skills that prepare them for the world of work.
Andrew Firr, YE Manager for Merseyside said:
"Young Enterprise couldn't exist without the vital support from our local business volunteers and I'd like to thank them all for their hard work this year as well as Mitchell Group, Home Bargains and Liverpool John Moores for their support of Company Programme within Merseyside"
The other key award went to Sean Kirk (pictured below) from Carmel College, who was chosen from a host of nominees to be Merseyside Company Programme Student of the Year 2013.
Sean stepped up mid way through the year after the dismissal of the Managing Director to control and move forward the company in an positive manner. His peers and teaching staff speak very highly of Sean's achievements.
Link Teacher Peter Murphy said '' Sean is someone who continually puts the team first and works his hardest for the team. He does it with a smile on his face, he has never complained once when something hasn't gone his way (Literally not once) and completely humble in how he conducts himself.''
The awards for Best Presentation also went to Royal Heart Design whilst Woodchurch High School from Wirral walked away with Best Company Trade Stand and Best Company Report in their first appearance in the competition.
Merseyside wishes Royal Heart Design every luck as they represent the County at the North West Final.

Southwark Cathedral's Refectory is the latest gallery to open in SE1.
Familiar London Bridge, Tower Bridge and the Millennium Bridge are all depicted. Hungerford Bridge includes the dominant London Eye. Most pictures faithfully record the presence of a crane on the City side.
London-born Paul Gildea now works in a south London studio and he has had work exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery.
As a child his family did not have television and spare time was spent on the Thames beach. He has always been fascinated by the bridges which vary in height and are subject to the rise and fall of the tide.
"My paintings are oils on canvas or on board" says Paul. "They are always painted from the subject, from life. The process of painting or drawing things into the right place, getting the colours and tones, has become an unthinking response."
He suggests that the French paint sex, the Spanish death and the English the weather.
All the paintings are for sale with prices ranging from �440 to �1300.
• The show and exhibition series was declared open by SE1 artist Edith Slee who is a member of the Refectory's Hanging Committee.
• The Refectory at Southwark Cathedral can be visited daily 10am-5pm, except Christmas Day and Boxing Day; free. The Bridges of London continues until Sunday 4 January.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Governor Gina Raimondo's administration is poised to make a major announcement about the next steps for overhauling the state's troubled $364-million public benefits computer system.
House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Patricia Serpa said she is scheduled to meet Tuesday night with Eric Beane, Raimondo's appointee heading the Department of Human Services.
Beane is scheduled to report his findings to the committee Wednesday night from a 30-day deep dive into the failed rollout of the computer system known as the United Health Infrastucture Project, or UHIP.
The governor's office also plans to host a "press event" Wednesday morning on UHIP. Serpa said she had no knowledge about whether any more personnel changes are coming, but she noted she has been told Beane's report will be particularly candid.
"Nothing would surprise me," Serpa said. "It seems we've had a huge management problem since before this thing launched in September."
Last month Raimondo announced the forced resignations of DHS Director Melba Depena and Chief Digital Officer Thom Guertin.
The shakeup did not affect Elizabeth Roberts, secretary of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, the cabinet-level administrator who oversees DHS.
Staff at the Executive Office of Health of Health and Human Services Tuesday said Roberts was in meetings.
Among the questions Serpa hopes will be answered in Beane's report: Who was the project manager primarily responsible for the system's launch?
"That's something I still can't get to the bottom of," she said.
Deloitte Consulting, the project manager for UHIP, is not expected to be at the committee hearing, Serpa said.

Its still too bloody cold to do anything, i got 98% humidity and minus 1 degrees for the last couple of weeks so have no alternative but to wait this out, although the boat shed gets nice and toasty with the gas heater on i must admit.
The problem is the cost of running the thing; so for the time being i will console myself by renovating the inflatable dinghy since a good friend has breathed life into the previously dead outboard.
i'll post some pics when its all done and i've got the summerhouse back to looking like a summerhouse and not a paint shop

MasterCard announced financial results for Q2 2013
MasterCard Incorporated announced financial results for the second quarter of 2013. The company reported net income of $848 million, up 19%, and earnings per diluted share of $6.96, up 23%, in each case versus the year-ago period, excluding a special item representing a charge related to the U.S. merchant litigations taken in the second quarter of 2012. These net income and earnings per diluted share growth figures are reconciled to their comparable GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables.
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2013 was $2.1 billion, a 15% increase versus the same period in 2012, both on an as-reported basis and adjusted for currency. Net revenue growth was driven by the impact of the following:
- A 13% increase in gross dollar volume, on a local currency basis, to just over $1 trillion;
- An increase in cross-border volumes of 17%; and
- An increase in processed transactions of 11%, to 9.5 billion.
These factors were partially offset by an increase in rebates and incentives.

Thanks Shanta. Loving the
Thanks Shanta. Loving the discussion on this post. In your original post you said that the evidence that there are positive externalities is pretty thin. But in your response to my question as to why govts should subsidize education for the poorest, you say this is because of the social returns to education. Could you elaborate a bit more? Specifically how do you know the social returns to education are large enough to justify such a huge public subsidy? Perhaps there's a more normative reason for suggesting govts ensure all citizens can access a quality education i.e. fairness.

I'm craving colour (and oranges...lol) and thankfully I've got art to provide that. I'm not a person that can think something up in my head and put it on paper. I'm hoping with time this is something that will come to me. Right now though, I need to see the physical picture to draw. Pinterest has become a great source of inspiration for me. There are so many different ideas and styles in the pictures. Unfortunately, sometimes, even when I've clicked on the link, it doesn't source me back to who had the original idea. I'm hoping that if someone ever sees I've redone their photo, craft or drawing that they are flattered and not ticked. I will always try to credit the original if I can.
This arrow pic is one of those pictures. I used the watercolour pencils on it. It didn't turn out quite as vibrant as I would have liked but there are parts of it I really love like the leaves and the feathers.
The b/w profile on the top is totally a new style for me. It was a lot of shading and blending with harsher lines and tones. I'm kind of loving it. Feeling happily creative.
