UTSI Finance Inc., the owner of an intermodal yard at 4014 Outland Road in Oakhaven, has filed a $3.1 million deed of trust, assignment of leases and security agreement on the property.
The company, an entity related to Warren, Mich.-based transportation service provider Universal Truckload Services Inc., filed the loan through Comerica Bank in August, although the Shelby County Register of Deeds didn't process the deed until this week.
UTSI is parent of Mason Dixon Intermodal, which operates the 4014 Outland Road facility. The company's four parcels on which it filed the loan total 35.58 acres along the east side of Outland, between Winchester and East Raines roads.
All four parcels are in the Raines Road Distribution Center subdivision and have a combined appraised value of $1.2 million, according to the Shelby County Assessor of Property.
UTSI bought the parcels in 2010 from Christopher R. Folk, trustee, under Christopher R. Folk Revocable Living Trust, dated Nov. 16, 2004.
Folk and Lawrence Trine III founded Assure Intermodal in 2002. Mason Dixon Intermodal bought that company in 2006 as its foray into the Memphis market.

Like any responsible company during these challenging times, Back Yard Burgers is conducting a comprehensive review of its business to ensure the company is operating efficiently and positioned for future growth.

The Memphis City Council approved Tuesday, Oct. 16, a planned development at 1325 Lamar Avenue – the old Annesdale Mansion at Lamar and Snowden Circle.
The planned development allows the owner, Ken Robison, to rent the grounds and the house for gatherings like weddings and parties. Robison will also live in the circa 1850 house with his family.
The council also approved $1.9 million in funding that is part of plans for streetscape improvements along Elvis Presley Boulevard from Brooks Road to Shelby Drive. Groundbreaking for the first phase of the improvements starting on the Brooks Road end is tentatively scheduled for next month.
During council committee sessions Tuesday, council members pledged to look for additional city funding to keep the city's Whitehaven golf course open. The course was slated for closing last spring during the city's budget season. Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.'s administration last month said it wanted to keep the course open and instead close the Davy Crockett golf course in Frayser.
Council members have yet to vote on any course of action other than the one they took in passing the city budget. But council members discussing the item Tuesday indicated they wanted to see if they could find the funding for Whitehaven without closing Davy Crockett.

A Downtown bakery and wine bar concept that's taken much longer than anticipated seems to be moving forward.
A $237,397 building permit application has recently been filed with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement for first-floor interior renovation of Carrot at 314 S. Main St., according to The Daily News Online, www.memphisdailynews.com.
Archer Custom Builders Inc. is the contractor. Neil Armstrong is the owner of the space.
The Center City Development Corp., an entity of the Downtown Memphis Commission, approved in September a $53,200 development loan closing extension request from Armstrong for 314 S. Main. Plans for the $388,710 project call for the existing 4,000-square-foot building to be renovated into a commercial live-work building that will include retail space of the ground floor for Carrot.
"The rear façade is nearly complete, and the entire façade has been ripped out," Armstrong said. "We plan on being done within the six-month timeframe, and hopefully sooner."

U.S. builders started construction on homes in September at the fastest rate since July 2008 and made plans to build even more homes in the coming months. The gains show the housing recovery is strengthening and could help the economy grow.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that home construction rose 15 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 872,000.
Single-family construction rose 11 percent to the fastest rate in four years. Apartment building increased 25.1 percent.
Applications for building permits, a sign of future construction, jumped nearly 12 percent to an annual rate of 894,000, also the highest since July 2008.
The construction rate has increased by more than 38 percent over the past 12 months.
Housing starts are now 82.5 percent above the recession low rate of 478,000 hit in April 2009.
That's still well short of the 1.5 million that economists consider healthy and far below the more than 2 million built in 2007 – the peak of the housing boom. But the steady upward trend suggests builders believe the housing rebound is durable.
Record-low mortgage rates, stable price increases and a limited supply of previously occupied homes have made newly built homes more attractive to buyers.
Builder confidence is at a six-year high, according to a survey released Tuesday by the National Association of Home Builders.
And the Federal Reserve's aggressive policies could push long-term interest rates even lower, making home-buying in the U.S. affordable for the foreseeable future.

Amazing Video Of Sandy's Destruction Along Jersey Shore [VIDEO/PHOTOS]
A trip to the New Jersey shore may not be the same for years; see for yourself with amazing video from the New Jersey Air National Guard.
The New Jersey Air National Guard released video of Seaside Heights hours after Sandy devastated the shoreline as they searched for displaced residents.
Sandy has wrecked boardwalks up and down the New Jersey coast. Several were almost completely destroyed. Others were partly damaged.
At Seaside Heights, a pier is wrecked and a roller coaster is partially submerged in the ocean. Several northernmost blocks of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, which was the first in the nation, also were destroyed.
A bridge in Ocean County is closed due to parts of destroyed houses that had floated onto it.
Authorities say more than 20 fires were raging during the storm late last night in Ocean County, with firefighters unable to reach some right away because of flooding.

U.S. peanut producers, responding this year to warnings of an over-supply, dropped production by almost a third, down to 3.37 billion pounds harvested from 1.21 million acres. This is down 31 percent from the 2005 crop.
The national average yield is forecast at 2,780 pounds per acre, down 209 pounds from last year's peanut crop. Much of the yield drop is being blamed on drought conditions experienced throughout the U.S. Peanut Belt this year.
Production in the Southeast states, including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina, is expected to total 2.36 billion pounds, down 30 percent from last year's level. Expected acreage for harvest, at 924,000, is down 23 percent from 2005. Yields in the region are expected to average 2,550 pounds per acre or 258 pounds below 2005.
In Virginia-North Carolina, peanut production is forecast at 339 million pounds, down 4 percent from 2005. Expected acreage for harvest, at 101,000, is down 14 percent from last year. Yield is forecast at 3,352 pounds per acre, up 352 pounds from 2005.
U.S. corn production is forecast at 10.7 billion bushels in 2006. This is 3 percent lower than in 2005. Yields are expected to average 151.2 bushels per acre. This is 3.3 bushels higher than last year. If realized, the yield would be the second largest on record, behind 2004.
Yield forecasts are lower than earlier estimates across much of the western and central Corn Belt and Atlantic Coast states as producers reported that actual harvest yields were not as good as expected earlier due to lower grain weight per ear. Stalk quality and lodging problems also were reported in some areas.
Producers in the northern Great Plains, Delta states, and parts of the Southeast reported better than expected yields. Compared with last year, yields are higher in all Corn Belt states except Iowa and Minnesota.
Soybean production in the United States is forecast at 3.20 billion bushels this year. This is about 5 percent above 2005. If realized, this would be the largest U.S. soybean crop on record. Yields are expected to average 43 bushels per acre, equal to last year's record-high yield.
Producers in the northern Great Lakes States, Delaware, New York, North Carolina and the Dakotas are realizing higher yields than earlier expectations, while yield prospects decreased slightly as harvest progressed in Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri and Pennsylvania. U.S. area for harvest is forecast at 74.5 million acres, up 5 percent from 2005.
Upland cotton harvested area, at 12.5 million acres, is down 8 percent from last year. American-Pima harvested acres are up 21 percent from last year.

Margaret Atwood – The Good, The Bad, and The Stupid

Her latest, Hag-Seed, is a total and delightfully wicked reimagining of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela
Author George Ciccariello-Maher in conversation with Greg Grandin at Verso Books in Brooklyn, October 4, 2016.
Join Jacobin and Verso Books books for the official launch of George Ciccariello-Maher's "Building the Commune: Radical Democracy in Venezuela."
Since 2011, a wave of popular mobilizations has swept the globe, from Occupy to the Arab Spring, 15M in Spain and the uprisings in Greece. Their demands were varied, but what they share is a commitment to ideals of radical democracy, and a willingness to experiment with new forms of organization to achieve this. In fact, the countries of Latin America have been experimenting with such projects since 1989—just as left projects of all stripes fell into decline across Europe—in what was a moment of rebirth. Poor residents of Venezuela's barrios took history into their own hands in a mass popular rebellion against neoliberalism, much as the movements appearing worldwide are doing today.
In Building the Commune, George Ciccariello-Maher travels through the many radical experiments of Venezuela, assessing how they have succeeded and failed, and how they are continuing to operate. Speaking to community members, workers, students and government officials, Ciccariello-Maher provides a balance sheet of these projects, that movements throughout the world can look to for lessons and inspiration.
Building the Commune is part of Verso's Jacobin series, featuring short interrogations of politics, economics, and culture from a socialist perspective. The books offer critical analysis and engagement with the history and ideas of the Left in an accessible format.
More on Building the Commune:
George Ciccariello-Maher is Associate Professor of Politics and Global Studies at Drexel University in Philadelphia. He is the author of "We Created Chavez: A People's History of the Venezuelan Revolution," and a forthcoming volume called "Decolonizing Dialectics."
Greg Grandin, a professor of History at New York University, is the author of a number of prize-winning books, including most recently "The Empire of Necessity: Slavery, Freedom, and Deception in the New World." Grandin is also the author of Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Empire (Metropolitan 2005), The Last Colonial Massacre: Latin America During the Cold War (University of Chicago Press 2004), and Blood of Guatemala: A History of Race and Nation (Duke University Press, 2000).

This disgusting video below shows a group of African prisoners from workers according to the one who uploaded it. The African Prisoners are put in animal cages and forces to eat to the animal flags aside from disgusting racial insults.
Updated :
Thanks dear to Andy Carvin and Green Revolution I was shocked to know that these prisoners are not foreign Africans but rather dark skinned Libyans from the Taawargha area !!! Oh God I am speechless !!
There is no justification what so ever for this disgusting action. Already some of you know that I have this website dedicated to the Egyptian POWs case and I have followed the POWs in military conflicts for years so this scene makes me shiver !! It is against all my beliefs as a human , as a Muslim and as an Arab and African. This is against Islam teachings so I do not know what kind of Islamist militias are truly there if they treat their POWs like that !! May God damn who ever did this for real !!
Unfortunately we should not be surprised because the world has kept its eyes shut for months on the treatment of the POWs there. To be honest also of us kept their eyes shut because we believed that this is a revenge from years of oppression and torture but we were wrong , there is no excuse.
Of course this is the most shocking video that emerged this week from Libya , the second shocking video is the attack on the WWII commonwealth Soldiers cemeteries at Benghazi. Two cemeteries were vandalized , one for the Canadian soldiers and the other for the British soldiers , I think the one below is for the British soldiers' cemetery
This is a discretion of cemeteries and it is clearly prohibited in Islam so I do not know how dare those thugs cheer or feel happy. This is a desecration and if they did not want these cemeteries then they should ask the British and Canadian governments to take their soldiers remains for God sake if they are annoying them. Anyhow the Cemeteries will be restored according to the Commonwealth grave committee.
Already this did not happen in time of Qaddafi when UK and EU were imposing sanctions , what is going on there !!!?? I know that decades of Qaddafi rule will affect generations and generations but not in that way.
Before you wonder where the NTC government in Libya is from all this , please read this Reuters report. Of course if you have followed what has been taken in Libya for months now and you knew that the armed militias are roaming the country and refuse to enroll in one united army , you will guess that was coming all the way.
Already according to Libyan Facebook pages Tripoli itself is being controlled by some militia from Zentan and you can imagine the comments from Libyans in these pages attacking tribes and areas , very few are calling Libyans for unity and to overcome their differences.
Back to the Libyan army for the past months I have read reports coming from their that the NATO has allegedly destroyed the mortars and the rockets arsenal of the country , I am also reading about problems facing the Libyan air forces. Of course this is aside from tribalism.
Libya is not ready for federations , this is extremely dangerous and I hope to know what the LAS thinks about this , in fact I wonder what the wise and patriot Libyans think about this.
Unfortunately when I remember it now , some real national security expert in Egypt warned from this. I think the Islamists and all other political powers in Libya have failed so far unfortunately. The legacy of Qaddafi is too deep and unfortunately the Libyan and true Islamic identity can not bring this nation with great potentials.
Those thousands who have been killed in that war for freedom and ending the rule of Qaddafi crazy dynasty did not want this to happen !!
I am thinking now that Libya needs a new leadership that can bring together this nation , someone like Sheikh Omar El Mokhtar who is not resting in his grave for real , yes a leader aside from all that fancy anarchic revolutionary talk. I know people are afraid from another Qaddafi ,well what I see now that some Libyans are replacing Qaddafi by several Qaddafis in their own ways !!
The problem now just like in Iraq this spilt in Libya will make some believe that the rule of Qaddafi was much better despite that what is taking place is the result of his policies whether social or cultural or political or discriminatory just like in Iraq. You got that trade off between dictatorship along with fake stability and freedom associated with unfortunate chaos.
There is no doubt that all the dictatorships in the region including Syria , Algeria and the Gulf States as well will use the Libyan example as a role model on how international intervention and revolutions spilt countries like that. This is why I fear on Syria with all its rich ethnic and religious diversity from a similar fate with the international intervention and the religious extremism of the Free Syrian Army.
I hope that some where in our national security intelligence agencies some group of men are following what is taking place in Libya from changes and are planning for several plans for Egypt's national security in the future when it comes to our Western neighbor.
Speaking about Libya and Egypt , I think the members of parliament should demand a detail report about the Egyptians missing in the Libyan revolution not to mention we need to know how the Egyptians are doing there with all these clashes.
The National security committee should demand a detailed report about Libya from both the Intelligence and ministry of foreign affairs.

Since January of this year, MSN has been in talks with AOL, pushing the online service to utilize their search engine instead of Google's. But now in the face of recent events going on at Google, will these talks escalate? The AOL-MSN talks have been temporarily suspended, with no agreement having been reached. Those talks have included various discussions including pay-for-placement advertising, and of course using MSN databases for AOL search.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported last week that, "AOL and Microsoft once were fierce rivals, and the rapprochement indicated by the talks shows how much the Internet landscape has changed. Just a few years ago, AOL and Microsoft battled over dial-up Internet customers and Web browsers. Now the dial-up business is in decline and the big prize in the industry is advertising revenue, an area in which both AOL and Microsoft lag behind Google and Yahoo Inc… The talks also signal a strategic shift for Time Warner, which had long resisted pleas from some investors to get rid of all or part of its ailing Internet arm, which came to the company when the old AOL bought Time Warner in 2001 in what became a disastrous merger. Time Warner Chairman Richard Parsons declared last year that the company wouldn't sell or spin off AOL "any time soon," citing the promise of capturing a greater share of the Internet ad market." The WSJ goes on to say that even though AOL reports a steady decline in subscribers, the unit still generates lots of cash.
Last week, the $4.1 billion that the search engine giant, Google, raised in a secondary stock offering, created speculation about what the search engine company plans to do with the money. One report suggests that Google is planning to bid on AOL too. Is this idea so far-fetched? Not if you consider that AOL's ad offerings make up a whopping 12% of Google's ad-driven revenue, which translates to about $382 million. If AOL defects to MSN, then it will decrease Google's earning per share between 5 and 10%, according to the WSJ. Losing this much revenue at a time that Google has many irons in the fire could really hurt. After going public just over a year ago, Google's stock (GOOG) has been trading at an average of $117.80 – $319.22 per share over 52 weeks, compared to MSN's (MSFT) average of $23.82 – $30.20 per share over 52 weeks, and Time-Warner's $19.90 – 15.82 per share over 52 weeks.
{mospagebreak title=Impact on the Search Market}
Let's fantasize for a moment. As of August, 2005, according to Forbes.com, Google sits atop the #1 spot with 37.3% of search engine queries, up from 36.5% reported in July, 2005, with Yahoo a close second at 29.7%, down from 30.3% in July. Spots three and four are only separated by one percentage point, and are occupied by MSN, with 15.8% of the offering, up from 15.5% in July; and AOL Search, with 9.6%, down from 9.9% in July. An AOL-MSN team-up would put give them about 26% of the searchers, an even closer third to Google and Yahoo than it is currently, and on its way up. AskJeeves and AltaVista take positions 5 and 6, with 3% and 1.6% respectively.
While merging with MSN would throw the search engine industry into a tail-spin, close to unseating Yahoo from the #2 spot, the battle for AOL has really only just begun. MSN is seeing its numbers increase on its own, thanks in part to its new RankNet technology, while Yahoo's numbers are declining. But MSN still needs some help. Time-Warner's CEO, Dick Parsons, understands how important a merger would mean to MSN, and they are not going to finalize any deal without walking away with a big prize. So what does MSN have to offer AOL that Google does not? And what would AOL gain from a merger or even a co-op with MSN? According to David Card, an internet analyst at Jupiter Research, a hookup between the two "is risky for AOL unless there's a big payoff." Analysts say that while an outright buyout of AOL is probably unlikely, a partnership could bring some benefits to AOL, if the price is right.
Google states in its latest 10-Q quarterly filing with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), "We rely on our Google Network members for a significant portion of our revenues, and we benefit from our association with them. The loss of these members could adversely affect our business…advertising and other fees generated from one Google Network member, America Online, Inc., primarily through our AdSense program, accounted for approximately 12% and 11% of our revenues in 2004 and in the six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively." What is ironic is that AOL sold some of its stake in Google for $195 million, in May of 2004, retaining 5.1 million shares; then almost a year later, sold off the remaining shares for a cash amount totaling $940 million, reported in the second quarter of 2005. (Figures are from the Washington Post.)
In a second SEC filing, Google also says, "We expect that Microsoft will increasingly use its financial and engineering resources to compete with us….They can use their experience and resources against us in a variety of competitive ways, including by making acquisitions, investing more aggressively in research and development and competing more aggressively for advertisers and web sites. Microsoft and Yahoo also may have a greater ability to attract and retain users than we do because they operate Internet portals with a broad range of content products and services."
While this may be considered educated guesswork on the part of Google, no one is really fooled here. AOL had presumably also talked with both Yahoo and Google, so it's highly likely that Google may have an insider's view into what AOL is looking for. Google's insight writing in its secondary filing would certainly indicate a good motive for MSN wanting to acquire AOL. But is there more to it than simple financial competition?
As the battle for AOL heats up between Google and MSN, it's a pretty good position for AOL to be in. While AOL may go to the highest bidder, you can probably expect that this will continue well into next year, even though executives at MSN say they would like to have this wrapped up in the next couple of months. Further, with the hotheads over at Microsoft, chair-throwing CEO Steve Ballmer in particular, Google's rumored bid attempts of AOL cannot be going over well. In fact, the once considered chess-match has seemed to escalate into an all out war.
{mospagebreak title=The Growing Rivalry}
Earlier this year, Microsoft sued Kai-Fu Lee after he defected to Google over a non-compete agreement he signed with MSN. "Accepting such a position with a direct Microsoft competitor like Google violates the narrow non-competition promise Lee made when he was hired as an executive," Microsoft said in its lawsuit. "Google is fully aware of Lee's promises to Microsoft, but has chosen to ignore them, and has encouraged Lee to violate them.
"He has access to sensitive information, to trade secrets about our search technology and business plans and our China business strategies," [Microsoft's] Deputy General Counsel Tom Burt told CNET News.com. "He has accepted a position in direct competition with Microsoft in those areas." In the first of the hearings held in early September, 2005, to uphold the injunction Microsoft asked for, not allowing Lee to have anything to do with Google's search technology until after the trial next year; making him no more than a highly paid recruiter.
A former engineer, Mark Lucovsky, testified to Ballmer's reaction to the news of Lucovsky's resignation, which was throwing a chair in anger, then allegedly saying, "Just tell me it's not Google."
On top of that, there is another recent competition between Google and MSN over VoIP (voice over IP) technology, both having offered consumers Internet phone-call capabilities within one week of the other. Google Talk is a downloadable Windows-based application for instant messaging and PC-to-PC voice calls; Microsoft's acquisition of VoIP startup Teleo, Inc. includes plans to expand voice over IP capabilities over its instant-messaging software, MSN Messenger. The same day Google released its messaging/VoIP software, Microsoft disclosed an upgrade in MSN Messenger to version 7.5, offering voice-chat quality and other features.
The renewed vigor and motive(s) for MSN acquiring AOL now seem more like a personal vendetta than a strategic financial move, so I'm surprised that more speculation regarding Google's latest stock offerings concerning MSN didn't emerge immediately.
MSN's user base for their search engine has been on the steady decline, from 28% of the market share in 2000, to roughly half that today. However, they've seen a rise in revenues from advertising increase from 30% to 57% in the past three years, and up to $337 million in the last quarter from $228 million from the year-ago figure.
AOL's subscriber revenues have continued to dwindle over the last few years as well, and what may look like a last ditch effort by Time-Warner's CEO, Dick Parsons, to put AOL front and center really comes as no surprise to analysts. After Time-Warner acquired AOL in 2001, it was projected that AOL could increase Time-Warner revenues by 10%. Instead, the company has seen several quarters of billions dollar losses. Throw in a few settlements with the Department of Justice and the SEC totaling over $700 million, and you could probably see how this could add up to some huge financial difficulties. Despite the fact that subscriber revenues keep falling, AOL's ad revenue is increasing at a fast pace. But powering this ad revenue is Google. Will AOL bite, then, the proverbial hand that feeds them? In 2004, AOL received about $300 million in revenues from the arrangement between Google and AOL.
{mospagebreak title=Who Will Grab AOL?}
According to BusinessWeek Online, "AOL hopes that by combining ad sales over AOL Web properties and MSN, which attracts about 114 million unique monthly visitors, it would top Yahoo, with 121 million unique monthly visitors. But even without such a move, AOL is expected to increase ad revenues to $1.35 billion this year, vs. $1 billion last year, according to Internet analyst Richard Greenfield of Fulcrum Global Partners." This is happening right when AOL was planning a re-launch of its AOL.com portal to make it more widely available to non-subscribers, a lot more content to the portal that was previously only available to subscribers.
Currently, AOL Search is 80% powered by Google, as the result of an agreement made in 2002, replacing Overture's search, which was acquired by Yahoo. No one knows, except perhaps AOL and Google, how long the tenure of this agreement is, but considering AOL sold its entire stake in Google, I'm willing to guess it's fairly short.
Some analysts consider the possibility that this wouldn't be a merger at all. Tim Arango, a reporter for the New York Post says, "Under the plan being considered, Microsoft would pay some money to Time Warner for the AOL stake, leaving the two companies approximately equal partners in the venture. While the deal could fall apart, the companies are hopeful they can wrap it up within the next couple of months. … The media giant has also had discussions with both Yahoo! and Google over a sale or venture with AOL, according to a source close to Time Warner." (Arango's report comes from two unidentified "sources familiar with the matter".)
Whether we believe that an AOL-MSN merger or cooperation will happen, or that Google will swoop in and secure its place as King of the Search Engines with its own co-op plans; it's just too soon to say. The ramifications either way are bound to shake up the search industry and very well could have SEOs crawling back to square one. Until that day, however, we'll just keep one eye open, and just do the best we can.

i currently use a quad cane most days. i have very good strength, but my balance leaves something to be desired, and sometimes my feet seem to go in different directions than i want them to go. i have decreased sensitivity/numbness in my left hand and lower left arm, so that when i use my cane with my strong hand, i'm left unable to carry stuff. Plus, i have now fallen twice even using my cane, when my ataxia sent me leaning toward my weak side. My physical therapist recommended a rolling walker/rollator, and my neurologist wrote a prescription, so i assumed that my excellent insurance would cover what i needed. Ha!
Anyhow, i am currently shopping for an all-terrain rollator to suit my active lifestyle and limited budget. i work in clients' homes as well as in nursing homes, and i volunteer Fridays in a local hospital, where i have to do a lot of walking, but where sharp turns are often necessary.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I know that my old Mk6 Fiesta the intermittent wipe speed could be adjusted by the lenght of time between turning it on then off, not sure if this work's on the auto type Hopefully some-one will be along that know's more that I about the wiper's

Fiesta 1.25 Or 1.4 - Petrol Versions
mick88 replied to Timbo343's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubGot my Mk7 last year and test drove both the 1.25 and 1.4, couldn't find much difference between the two, so went for the cheaper 1.25. As Ford don't do engine badge's I can alway's bluff it's the 1.4 :D If your current Fiesta has the 1.3, the 1.25 will be like night and day All depend's on what one your happy with and budget Good luck with your buy

mick88 replied to KeithBrittain's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHello Keith Ford list the timing belt to be replaced at 10 year's or 125,000 mile's for the 1.4 petrol and diesel. Personally I wouldn't trust this and would change it at 6 year's or 60,000 mile's, along with the auxiliery belt, cheaper than replacing bent valve's if the belt let's go. Not to sure if Ford replace the tensioner and idiler pulley at the same time. Hope this help's you out abit
Clunking Mk7 Steering, What Lubricant
mick88 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubAs per title, Anyone know what lub Ford use for stopping this, can something similar be bought from Halford's and were on the steering column it is applied thank's in advance
What Do You Want On Facelift Mk7.5
mick88 replied to MRC89's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThe butterfly type wiper's would cure the poor wiper setup Passenger door mirror that tilt's downward when parking, better view of the curb Sony head unit with sat nav built in to the screen at the radio display on top of the dash Eco boost type turbo setup on the 1.25 and 1.4
Maybe a different model radio fitted to the Zetec S that the one in the Zetec due to the Zetec having only two speaker's as standard. All four are working prefect so no big problem
Brayster inspired by your photo's I decieded tonight to fit the speaker's I have had laying. Original Ford one's so no cutting of loom's, bit of a pain with the removal of the panal's but speaker's are a good job once fitted. The fader on the radio only work's left to right :( not front to back but that's no problem. Any one know if the small clip's on the panal's can be gotten from Ford as a few went in behind the quater panal
I have had Fiesta's from the Mk5 to the Mk7 and in my own opinion I prefered the Mk6.5 over the rest. If the dealer could get me a brand new one I would change the Mk7 asap. Mk7's kinetic styling make's it a good looking car the same as the Mk6 was a good looking car in the new edge styling phase. Mk7 need's the Mk6's steering and braking system's (Mk7's steering too light, pedal feel's softer). Just feel short changed with the Mk7 with it's poorer wiper's, creaking/clunking steering, only two speaker's on the Zetec trim (would swap the tweeter's for rear one's), engine temp gauge, few other cost cutting thing's too. Small thing's but owning a Mk6 was just more enjoyable to me
Mk7 is the better looker, Mk6 facelift is the better car

Volunteers Establish Headquarters For Missing Teen Keiosha Felix
DUSON, La. (KPEL) -- Friends, family, and volunteers assisting in the search for missing Duson teen Keiosha Felix have set up a headquarters from which to base their organization.
The Find Keiosha Felix Now Facebook page says Pastor Toby Ryder, in conjunction with the Duson Baptist Church, has agreed to provide the space necessary for the headquarters.
Volunteers will staff the headquarters Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
The 15-year-old teen has been missing since April 30. Her cousin and aunt, Portia Felix and Patricia Andrus, have both been arrested in connection with the case. The pair are accused of lying to police when asked about her disappearance. Andrus' boyfriend was arrested by deputies in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Investigators from the FBI are also now involved in the case.
Duson Police believe Felix is in great danger.
If you have any information that could lead investigators to Felix, you're urged to call the Duson Police Department at (337) 873-6736 or (337) 232-9211.

2002 4x4 of the YearPosted in Project Vehicles on February 1, 2002
Of all the tests in all the world that really matter, the 4-Wheel & Off-Road 4x4 of the Year is the one that counts. As both our readership and the automotive industry know, our test is the hardest-hitting, no-holds-barred test of a 4x4s real worth. For our readers, this information is priceless when determining your buying preferences. Thats why for the 20th year straight, our staff of pros took nine eligible vehicles out to the boonies and wailed on them til they whimpered.
Our 4x4 of the Year test isnt just an extended testdrive like some other magazines do. Instead we put these rigs through their paces on the road, track, trail, and a few places youd never expect to see these stockers tread.
But not every vehicle can win, and only a select few are even eligible. First, the vehicle must either be all new or have major mechanical changes from the previous version. The vehicle must be available to the public by January 15, and at least 2,500 must be produced to eliminate any one-off ringers. Also, the manufacturers must provide us with the vehicles in time for the test regardless of the introduction date. Most importantly, each must be a 4x4 with a two-speed transfer case, not an all-wheel-drive station wagon.
For this years test we received a stable of nine vehicles which met these standards: the Chevrolet Avalanche, the Ford Explorer, the Dodge Ram 1500, the Isuzu Axiom, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, the Jeep Liberty, the Nissan Frontier Crew Cab Longbed, the Nissan Xterra, and the Suzuki XL-7. If your favorite new vehicle wasnt in the test, its because it wasnt available or eligible, or the manufacturer declined to participate. It was a very close race for some of the contestants this year, with more than a few surprises to keep us guessing until the last figures were tallied up. Check out what we did and how we came to our conclusions and greet the 2002 4x4 of the Year.

PARIS — The board of French engineering group Alstom SA said Saturday it has officially accepted General Electric Co.'s sweetened offer for its power-equipment unit, ending a two-month scramble for the maker of turbines for power plants.
The deal still hinges on the French government finding an agreement with Bouygues SA EN, +0.09% to buy a 20% stake in Alstom ALSMY, +2.35% ALO, +1.85% from the construction-to-telecoms conglomerate. The government has said it wanted to become Alstom's largest shareholder before allowing GE GE, +1.34% to buy Alstom's assets.
The board accepted the revised offer made by GE on Friday, when the U.S. group changed its $17 billion initial offer for the whole of Alstom's power business to make it more palatable to the French government.
Under the revised GE bid, Alstom would sell its gas turbine business, the largest part of the power-equipment unit, to the U.S. company and house the French part of its steam and nuclear turbines, renewable-energy activities and grid equipment in 50/50 joint ventures with GE.
The new GE offer still values the power equipment business at $17 billion, but values the Alstom investment in the joint-ventures at 2.5 billion euros ($3.4 billion), the Alstom board said Saturday.
After the transaction, Alstom will buy GE's train signalling business and merge it with its own train business, that makes the signature French bullet trains. Alstom intends to focus on its train business in the future, the board said.

Posted on 05/24/2011 7:02:46 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Family Radio has solicited millions from donors over the years and reportedly spent over $100 million on advertising for the May 21 Judgment Day.
But now that the "guaranteed" rapture didn't happen, people are wondering: Can Harold Camping or Family Radio be sued? Did they do anything illegal in soliciting donations based on the rapture prediction? And do donors have legal ground to sue the discredited prophet?
Probably not, says an executive of Charity Navigator, which evaluates over 5,500 of America's largest charities. The charity evaluator rated Family Radio as a 4-star charity, the highest possible ranking.
Sandra Miniutti, vice president of Charity Navigator, told The Christian Post she doesnt think that Family Radio committed any wrongdoing, from a financial standpoint.
"They believed that the rapture was going to happen. I don't think they did anything illegal," Miniutti said Tuesday.
She said Charity Navigator doesn't evaluate a non-profit's mission, only its financial performance in the spending on its program, administration, fundraising, and efficiency in fundraising.
"We rate charities based on their financial performance. We don't make subjective assessments on the value of their mission. We just look on their financial performance," said Miniutti.
Based on her knowledge so far, Family Radio has used its donations where it was intended, on billboards and on public relations campaigns advertising the May 21 Judgment Day.
The Christian Post learned that Harold Camping spent around $100 million to advertise his May 21 end times prediction, according to Matt Tuter, Family Radios international projects manager.
Tuter told The Christian Post that most of the money did not come from donations, but from the sale of property more specifically, KFTL television and an FM station.
"My understanding is that they were soliciting money to help people understand the word of God," commented Miniutti. "They spent it on what they intended to spend it on."
"Donors would only have a recourse if the charity was soliciting for one thing but spent it on something else."
Tuter also told CP that most of the staff at Family Radio, including himself, are not followers of Camping and do not believe in his Judgment Day predictions.
Miniutti acknowledged, "It's unethical if people doing soliciting didn't believe that the rapture wasn't going to happen in the first place."
However, Miniutti pointed out that donors should also do their due diligence in checking out charities' overall health before giving money.
"We believe that donors should check three things: financial performance, the charity's transparency and what the charity's actual results are, whether it's lasting change in the world," she said.
Charity Navigator currently doesn't evaluate a charity's transparency or results but will in the near future, she added.
When Miniutti was asked whether "false advertising" of the rapture could provide legal grounds for a lawsuit against Family Radio, she said a lawyer would better answer that question.
But she did suggest that if Family Radio got away with Camping's 1994 Judgment Day prediction, there is no reason they couldn't do the same in 2011.
"If it's legal in 94, it's probably legal again."
On Monday, in his first public address since the failed rapture, Camping touted Family Radios efficiency and honesty when it comes to money.
Were not in the business for money, he said, stressing that he does not receive any compensation.
He said the contributions the organization receives are all directed toward one purpose: to get the Gospel out. Every nickel has been spent as fairly as possible, as efficiently as possible, he maintained.
Commenting on some of his followers and other listeners who spent their life savings to advertise Campings Judgment Day prediction or quit their jobs, he said the organization never advised them on financial matters and he refused to take any responsibility for their current situations.
Sue him?
Who knows.
But if he still has an audience, it doesn't say much for the intelligence of his 'followers.'
I'd like to sue Barky for saddling us with $1 trillion porkulus debt and falsely predicting unemployment would come down below 8%.
Taking advantage of human stupidity is disgusting but not illegal. Unfortunately there is no law that will protect people from their own ignorance.
Sued for what? Yelling that the movie theater was on fire when it was not and all the people had to do was simply look around for signs of smoke, etc. and see that the person yelling was wrong?
Having the ability to sue this idiot only proves that there are indeed idiots who will believe virtually anything and everything they are told and that when it is shown or proven that they acted in error, instead of taking SELF-RESPONSIBILITY for their CHOICEs, they seek to blame and/or sue the messenger or the person they believed such shit from.....! =.=
The Church of the Subgenius lasted for 20 years and predicted that aliens would land on July 5th, 1997 (what they called X-Day I think). They promised eternal salvation or triple your money back.
Seeing as how that was well over a decade ago (and the group existed going back to the 1970s with some celebrity members), what ever came from THEIR payout obligation (claiming it was "satire" or a "publicity stunt" isn't good enough, they collected money for decades).
You can sue anybody for anything. Winning is another matter.
I had a front row seat reserved.
But I'm easy to get along with. If he issues me a rain check or a gift card, I'm cool with that.
Harold Camping should just be ignored.
That was you????
Glory hog.
Sued....? I think this man should be looking at prosecution and jail time at the least.
Sued....? I think this man should be looking at prosecution and jail time at the least.
Really? Prosecuted, jailed for posting his opinion.
Stupid people lost their moneies and perhaps some lost their lives, but it wasnt because of what Camping said, but instead because they were intellectually or emotionally stupid.
And one can never legislate to protect all instances of stupid.
I am ashamed of you freeper for such a totalitarian statement.
Why should the Prince of Darkness support a scheme to sue Harold Camping?
Don't worry, there will be plenty of time for that after the real event.
An Open Letter to Harold Camping of Family Radio
05/23/2011 - James White
On Open Letter to Harold Camping of Family Radio
Dear Mr. Camping:
In July of 2009 you and I engaged in a debate on the Iron Sharpens Iron radio program concerning your teaching that the church age had ended and that Christ would return on May 21, 2011. I trust you recall our exchange. I am also aware that you have at least seen my book, Dangerous Airwaves: Harold Camping Refuted and Christ's Church Defended. I have been seeking to warn people about your teachings, sir, for about a decade. I know others have been warning the church about you longer than I.
Mr. Camping I am writing to seek your repentance and the most God-glorifying outcome of the debacle of your failed May 21, 2011 prophecy/teaching. I am not writing to engage in debate with you. The time for debate ended on May 22, 2011. It is now time for you to repent and seek to undo the massive damage you have done, first and foremost, to the cause of Christ.
Let me first list the items you need to repent of, openly and publicly (for you are a public person, and your teachings were disseminated all around the world).
You need to repent of your abuse of the Bible, based upon claims of latter-day opening of understandings no one else has, allegedly, ever had, based upon the horrific misreading of the books of Revelation and Daniel. The Bible is not a code book, Mr. Camping, and it never has been. You have attacked the grammatical/historical means of honoring the intention and meaning of the original authors, and in so doing, have turned the Bible into your own private playground where you, and you alone, set the rules. You decided that certain numbers have certain meanings, and you alone decided which numbers could be added to others. You told your audiences that you were simply teaching the Bible, when you were doing nothing of the sort. Unless you honor the intention of the original authors, which means doing difficult exegetical work, studying languages and backgrounds, you have no business saying you are representing the Bible. This has been your primary error for decades on end, and I know I am not the first minister of the gospel to seek to correct you about this. Your utterly fallacious means of interpretation of the Bible has led to the mockery of the Christian faith all around the world, and you alone must repent for your willful rejection of the correction offered by many to you over the years.
You need to repent of your repeated date-setting, and your twisting of those Scriptures that plainly state that we do not now know, and will never know, the date of the coming of Christ, until it happens. You have been proven wrong multiple times now, and it is time for you to admit that you have been in error every single time you have argued that we can, in fact, know.
You must repent of your many unbiblical teachings, teachings which have grown out of your rebellion against Christ's Church. First and foremost, you must repent of your attack upon the church. You must return to the church (I would suggest the local Christian Reformed Church from which you made your original defection) in repentance and seek to place yourself under their care, repenting for your schism. You must openly and publicly abjure your teaching that Satan rules in the churches, and that all ministers of the gospel since 1988 are, in fact, servants of Satan. You must call all listeners of Family Radio to return to their churches with repentant hearts. You must instruct them to seek to learn to read the Bible aright, to seek to interpret the Bible in light of its original meanings and intention, not as a secret, gnostic code-book.
You must likewise abjure and repent of the other false teachings you have been promulgating, including, but not limited to, such teachings as Jesus having died twice, your new annihilationism teaching, etc. You once held to mainly orthodox views, but, when you refused godly counsel and went out on your own, you planted the seeds of your own destruction, which have now sprouted, over night it seems, into the crop of condemnation you now rightly face.
You must likewise repent of the perversion of the gospel you have been teaching, wherein you have not only removed repentance and faith under the guise of "works" (neither are works, both are the gifts of God to His elect by His Spirit, but remain part and parcel of the gospel call), but you clearly, in these last days, added belief in your own May 21, 2011 teaching to the gospel itself, saying that those who did not believe this teaching would experience eternal torment. You have been preaching a false gospel, Mr. Camping, and you must repent for this.
The time for haggling and debating has passed, Mr. Camping. Your teaching has been disproven, and your only hope is to be found in complete repentance from your false teachings. I fear if you seek to rescue your reputation, you will end your life under the wrath of God. Your unwillingness to listen to counsel has already caused great damage to the cause of Christ. You have one final chance for redemption, sir. Do not remain stiff-necked. Repent and turn from your ways.
James White

Charity Navigator isn't much better than a scam. There are some incredibly effective and efficient charities out there that get relatively low ratings from this "charity evaluator", while dip-wad frauds like Harold Camping get higher ratings... go figure.
My first response was to not respond to your ignorant statement; for to do so offers you some credibility.
Nevertheless: How is what Camping did any different than,say, what Bernie Madoff did? Bernie Madoff simply *posted his opinion*, did he not? And won the confidence of countless individuals who lost their fortunes if not their lives....
Madoff is in prison, where he belongs. Tell me how Camping is any different than Madoff.....??
Madoff is a financial hustler; Camping is worse: he capitalizes on a spiritual hustle in order to gain the financial.
I listened to him once. I think he owes me about $50. Where do I apply.
I see that post is ambiguous. Let me change that to
I heard his show once.
But he then get out of his contractual obligations by invoking the force majeure portion of his contract.
Snicker, snicker...
"But now that the "guaranteed" rapture didn't happen, people are wondering: Can Harold Camping or Family Radio be sued? Did they do anything illegal in soliciting donations based on the rapture prediction? And do donors have legal ground to sue the discredited prophet."
The Mississippi is flooding, there are 50000 foot tornados hitting another volcanos eruption and the slew of earthquakes? It's here all right. Technology and human endeavor prevented all of this from being even worse.

The LaunchYourCity entrepreneurial platform, which includes elements like Upstart Memphis and the Seed Hatchery startup accelerator, is getting set to relocate out of the EmergeMemphis building Downtown.
As a result of that impending move, Eric Mathews will no longer be the interim executive director of the EmergeMemphis business incubator. Instead, he will remain the co-president of LaunchYourCity and will remain focused on its continued growth and myriad programs in its new location.
"We had a year contract with EmergeMemphis," Mathews said. "All options had been on the table regarding moving our organizations forward. After some heartfelt deliberation, we felt we needed to double down and focus in on our work because it's growing so rapidly.
"We felt like if we fumble the ball regarding the opportunities in front of us, it would not only be a detriment to us but to partners like EmergeMemphis. We're an important client and feeder to Emerge, and we're poised to grow our capacity 50 percent to 100 percent in the next year."
LaunchYourCity is preparing to set up shop in Playhouse on the Square.
The EmergeMemphis board, meanwhile, has hired former Pinnacle Airlines CEO Phil Trenary to provide strategic consulting and to help EmergeMemphis as it looks to hire a permanent executive director. In a statement about his role, Trenary said he's excited to be working with "innovative, bright, young talent, and my operational and strategic experience is something I can bring to help in this effort."
Over the past year, Mathews said he and others have worked to get Emerge back onto solid footing that it didn't have before. In that time, the organization has adopted a strategic new vision, improved member amenities, added new member companies and welcomed FedEx Labs to a renewed commitment to the organization.
EmergeMemphis also recently completed upgrades to the building and has plans to host community events on the new rooftop, as well as in the meeting and conference spaces within the facility.
"Simultaneously, while making sure EmergeMemphis was firing on all cylinders, the LaunchYourCity platform has really exploded in a big way," Mathews said. "We needed to be honest with ourselves and diligent to focus on managing that growth."
As a result, he said, LaunchYourCity and its related elements will be "graduating" out of Emerge in the next few weeks.
"Really, this is a testament to incubation. It's a good story for incubation and entrepreneurship," Mathews said of the impending move. "This has been personal to me. I've dedicated a lot of time to it. And it's been a spectacular year if you look at the past 12 months."

Before students walk through the halls for the first time this school year, Troup County School System (TCSS) wants all students, parents, businesses, and community members to know that Attendance Matters – and here's why.
During the summer planning months, district leaders took a hard look at root causes for student test scores. One of the underlying factors was student attendance. When local high schools were polled about the percentage of students missing seven or more days unexcused, the numbers were staggering:

Hi everyone,
I bought a set of Best GP kites (2012) 2 months ago and after a bad jump I unfortunately dislocated my right shoulder. My doctor told me to go slow but as some of you might have notice, the Best GP bar doesn't come with stopper ball and the bar pressure is pretty heavy. I'm just wondering if you would have any ideas on how to make a stopper ball on these kind of bar in order to be able to continue ridding without having to use lots of strength just to keep the bar at an acceptable distance from me. Thanks in advance for the help.

Actor Chris Kattan, who came to fame as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Monday, after his Mercedes-Benz plowed into the rear of a Caltrans vehicle on the Ventura (101) Freeway in the Encino area, the California Highway Patrol reported.
A state Department of Transportation crew was performing guardrail maintenance on the westbound 101 Freeway, west of Balboa Boulevard, around 1:50 a.m. and had the No. 4 lane closed with orange cones, said CHP Sgt. Tom Webster.
Dispatchers had received a call about a 2011 Mercedes weaving all over the roadway at slow speeds, Webster said.
"As the driver of the Mercedes approached the DOT work crew, the vehicle crossed the cone pattern and struck the rear of a DOT vehicle within the closure," he said, adding that CHP officers were on the scene at the time, providing assistance to Caltrans with the lane closure.
"Officers on scene immediately contacted the driver, who appeared to be impaired," said Webster, who added that the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and was booked at Van Nuys Jail. Bail was set at $15,000.
No Caltrans workers or CHP officers were injured, nor was Kattan, 43, of Beverly Hills, according to the CHP.
Once released, Kattan took to Twitter.
"Those concerned or just adding gossip: I'm fine, passed all tests, released without bail, have drivers license, cop offered to drive me home," he tweeted.
Shortly afterward, he wrote, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all."
Kattan then offered somewhat of an explanation. "I just got back from a 15hr flight after touring out of the country. I was exhausted. The police were so kind. I'm lucky nobody was hurt."
When interviewed by CHP officers, Kattan said he was on prescription medication, the celebrity news website TMZ.com reported.

Charlie POS necessitava di un nuovo design di design per stampa o packaging e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 23 design presentati da 9 designer.
Plexus Ocean Systems is an engineering service company providing the oil and gas sector with specialised high pressure drilling equipment. More details about the company and our market sector on our website at http://www.posgrip.com
Trade show attendees. Interested parties will be mechanical engineers, and we intend to impress potential customers, vendors and employees. The intention is to create a clean, crisp look and give an impression of high quality precision engineering for the company.
The task is to create two sample panels for a trade show - a simple central panel with our company logo on it, and an information/graphic panel. Your design should be flexible enough to allow us to replace the graphic and text to easily create the other panels.
Take the draft artwork layout provided and make it look professional and polished. The borders, fonts, text boxes, layout and other decorations can be changed. Colours can be changed, but bear in mind our general corporate look is blue – see website. The logo cannot be changed, and the foreground graphic of the equipment will be changed by us to create the additional panels.
Here is the link to the draft panels and company logo. I've also added a sample image for the graphic panel:
NOTE: Click on File View to see all the files in the folder.
High Resolution image now added.
The design will be printed onto the wall panels of a trade show booth, which has two walls 3 panels wide, and one wall 6 panels wide. This competition is just for the two base panels, so our design should be flexible enough to allow us to replace the graphic and text to easily create the other panels.
The booth will contain other items of interest such as real wellhead equipment (2 meters high), a flat screen display and a reception desk. Therefore, simplicity is the key.
The dimensions of each panel are 950mm x 2340mm, and images should be at 300dpi.

Hello everyone. My name is Frank Matt. I am excited to help expand the G.K.K. Our new dojo is located in the local YMCA in Corinth, New York. There was never a program such as karate at the YMCA before, so I feel very privileged to start from scratch. The first class was held on September 11, 2007 with five students.
My karate experience began in February 2001 when I entered the dojo in Damariscotta, Maine under the instruction of Sensei Nancy Ault. My progression through Goju Ryu karate has brought me to the current level of shodan, promoted in October 2004.
I became Sensei Nancy Ault's Sempai in April of 2003 as a yon kyu. I was nervous to have such a responsibility, but found how much I enjoyed learning and helping to teach others. Sensei Ault and I had a great group of people, not just students. That experience made me want to continue teaching and also being a student of Goju Ryu.
My goal is to help achieve a committed group of students dedicated to the integrity and hallowed art of Goju Ryu karate, while continuing on my own journey as student and part of the teachings of our past and present masters.
Thank you, Mr. Ed Myers, for all of your kind words and thank you, Mr. Stamper, for your support. And thank you, Sensei Nancy Ault, for the patience and guidance you have given.
