It should be remembered: the Editor of THE FIRST STREET JOURNAL wholly supported the end of the Social Security tax “holiday.” From THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT +1.49% on Thursday joined a parade of retailers, restaurants and consumer-goods companies worried about the economic impact of the recently restored federal payroll tax that has left Americans with less money to spend.
The world’s largest retailer, Burger King Worldwide Inc., BKW -0.34% Kraft Foods Group Inc. KRFT -0.80% and others are lowering forecasts and adjusting sales and marketing strategies, expecting consumers with smaller paychecks to dine out less and trade down to less expensive purchases.
The expiration of the payroll tax cuts that knocked 2% off consumers’ take-home pay is having an impact, these companies say. It will ding a household with $65,000 in annual income $1,300 this year, and shift $110 billion overall out of consumers’ hands, estimates Citigroup C -2.05% .
Now, Wal-Mart is stocking more of its shelves with cheaper products, and smaller-size packages of diapers, toilet paper and snacks. Burger King is cutting its Whopper Jr. sandwich to $1.29 from about $2, and focusing advertising on its value menu items rather than higher-price salads or smoothies.
More at the link.
Your Editor supported the end of the two percentage point Social Security tax cut because it is his belief, as he said, that if taxes have to be increased, they should be increased on everybody.
It is unsurprising that a 2% take-home pay cut that almost all working Americans saw would lead to a reduction in consumer spending; real economics — as opposed to the kind of economics practiced by the government — will tell you that, if you have less money to spend, you will spend less money.
And your Editor understands that the looming sequester, which he has also supported, will mean that the federal government will spend less money, and that, too, will have an economic impact.
Let me be clear about this: the restoration of the Social Security tax rate, the tax increases on the top producers, and the spending cuts that will be enforced by the sequester, all involve some pain. But we will have to endure that pain if we ever want to cut government spending; the arguments being made by President Obama and the Democrats to avoid the sequester and, once again, increase taxes on the top producers, are political efforts to avoid the pain for the Democrats’ supporters — the less productive people and the welfare malingerers — and continue along the path on which we have been traveling, a path which has led to a national debt greater than an entire year’s gross domestic product.
Conservatives know that you just can’t have everything you want, and that what you do get has to be paid for; nothing is free. The Democrats have sold a 51% coalition on believing that things really can be free, and that may have won them an election, but it does not change the laws of economics.
We have three, and only three choices:
- We can either raise taxes on every American to levels which would support the profligate spending of the Obama Administration; or
- We can cut spending; or
- We can do a combination of both.
Regardless of which choice is taken, it will be painful. But the choice of the Obama Administration, to raise taxes on only the top producers, and then keep borrowing and borrowing and borrowing, will lead us down the path taken by Greece. We can take some uncomfortable but still endurable pain now, and get our house in order, or we can go just flat broke. Your Editor thinks that the latter choice is no choice at all.

PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski warned voters that supporting LGBTI rights would ‘attack families’
Poland’s ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) launched an attack on gay rights as part of its election strategy last weekend (9 March).
This was ahead of European elections in May and national elections later in the year, reported Emerging Europe.
At the party’s convention PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski warned voters that supporting LGBTI rights would ‘attack families.’
Kaczynski vehemently opposed Mayor of Warsaw Rafal Trzaskowski’s 12 point LGBTI declaration.
What’s wrong with the declaration?
Not much, as the declaration guaranteed the fulfilment of some of the basic needs of the LGBT+ community.
Advocacy groups said it would also enable the local administration to provide what the national government refuses to administer.
But Kaczynski said the declaration is ‘essentially an attack on children’ and called it ‘unbelievable.’
He said: ‘We will say no to the attack on children. Polish parents have the right to raise their own children.
‘We will not be intimidated. We will defend the Polish family.’
‘He talks nonsense’
However, Trzaskowski was quick to defend himself against the accusations.
Until recently, PiS was threatening Poles with a phantom invasion by millions of immigrants,’ Trzaskowski wrote on Facebook.
‘Today, he talks nonsense about alleged plans to corrupt children. In fact, [the LGBT+ declaration] is about tolerance – to protect our fellow citizens from hate speech, intimidation and lynching.
‘Teach children that words hurt, and that there is no anonymity on the internet.’
LGBTI rights in Poland
A predominantly Christian country, Poland does not recognize marriage equality.
Moreover, LGBTI discrimination is illegal, but only in certain contexts.
Though, Poland has made strides towards banning gay conversion therapy.

Have you ever felt tingling in your mouth or lips? How about a “pins and needles” sensation in your hands or feet? These could be subtle symptoms of a calcium deficiency. Calcium is the largest mineral found in the body, with 99% of it stored in our bones and teeth. However, calcium plays a critical role in nerve transmission, muscle contractions, and blood clotting too.
If you had a good start in your early life with enough calcium to build strong bones, chances are your bones will stay healthy as an adult. Our maximum calcium levels are at their peak during our mid-twenties and decline naturally from there as we age. Every cell in our body uses calcium in some way. As we age our bodies do not absorb calcium as efficiently causing more calcium to be taken from our bones without replenishing the supply taken.
A calcium deficiency can exist for a long time without symptoms, however, internally the toll on our body can be significant. As bones begin to weaken and break down a disease called osteoporosis may occur. Women more often than men develop calcium deficiencies, also called hypocalcemia, due to lowered estrogen levels which occur during menopause. Menopausal women should increase their daily calcium intake and especially seek additional supplement support to prevent brittle bone disease such as osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis, also known as brittle bone disease, occurs when the body has lacked sufficient calcium levels for a long period of time. The bones become brittle and broken down making them susceptible to breaks. We have all heard about a woman who has fallen and broken a hip sometime in life, however, it may have broken before causing her to fall.
Can Anything Help?
Eating a diet high in calcium is important and good sources include dark leafy greens, cheese, yogurt, broccoli, and and many more. Sometimes even if we do have adequate calcium intake our bodies lack the ability to absorb it. For women especially, the use of supplements can be quite necessary to prevent bones from becoming weakened.
Calcium absorption is not as effective when deficiencies of Vitamin D or magnesium are present. These three minerals work together to make our bones strong. Magnesium helps convert or metabolize vitamin D, allowing for calcium to be a absorbed and utilized by the body.
Bone Restore by HoltraCeuticals is an amazing combination of minerals unlike any other supplement used to prevent osteoporosis. Bone Restore not only decreases bone re-absorption, it increases bone mineral density. Many supplements may prevent bone loss yet do not strengthen bone formation. Bone formation is necessary to prevent bones from becoming brittle.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are real and serious conditions. Read more from our “Dangerous Deficiencies” series here.

Anecdotally, few of Nintendo's major internal studios or second parties have shipped a major release since 2015, which could be seen to bear out such a rumor.MCV also claims that Nintendo has already garnered third-party support - another struggle for its consoles in recent years - from Sega, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Activision and Warner Bros.
Finally, MCV also says that its sources tell it that last week's reports that the NX will be a handheld console that can be plugged into TVs are "100 per cent accurate".
One source says that the console's power sits between a PS3 and PS4, and that Nintendo's intention is to "upgrade" smartphone gamers, rather than draw fans away from PS4 and Xbox One.The only games currently confirmed for an NX release are Zelda, Ubisoft's Just Dance 2017, and Sega's as-yet-untitled 2017 Sonic game.
Want to sort the NX facts from the fiction? Check out our comprehensive rundown of all the rumors so far. Joe Skrebels is IGN's UK News Editor, and he's slowly frothing about the perfect match that is Monster Hunter and NX. Froth with him on Twitter.


We are estimating 626 miles per hour charging speeds on Gen 3 Superchargers for the first half of the charge.
In a previous article, we reported that current Model 3 owners are getting Supercharging speeds of around 460-480 miles per hour on Gen 2 Superchargers. That’s a big improvement over Model S owners that only see low 300s for a Supercharging speed.
Why is the Model 3 so fast? First of all, the Model 3 can pull as much power as the Model S (115-120 kW), and second of all, the Model 3 has a much better MPGe than the Model S, so each kWh downloaded counts for more miles.
That’s nice, but how are we predicting these big increases for the Model 3 on Gen 3 superchargers? In the previous article, we noted that a Tesla/EPA document quoted a maximum charging amperage capability of the Model 3 equal to 525 amps. One astute commenter, @Henrik, suggested that a good way to verify this was to look at the line size of the charging cable that runs from the charge port to the battery.
Good idea! We called Jack Rickard at EVTV since he has a torn down salvage Model 3 in his shop. We asked him what size the charging cable was. His answer was 3-aught wire size. In addition, we have a video from Ingineerix, which verifies that the Model 3 has a larger cable than Model S going to the battery from the charge port. You can see for yourself at 13 minutes into his teardown video.
We also got in touch with Ingineer at Tesla Motors club and he claims he has the manufacturer's specs on that 3-0 cable that says it's good for 430 amps (versus 525 amps in the Tesla/EPA document). Based on our calculations, 430 amps should give us an average charging power of 157 kW during the first half of the charge and an average charging rate of 626 MPH.
We need to add some qualifications to these numbers. Holding a constant 430 amps until 50% SOC probably won’t happen every time you pull into a Supercharger. These numbers are a best-case scenario. Even though the vehicle is capable, there may be other reasons why the Supercharger will cut back on power prior to 50%. Also, our numbers only apply to charging PRIOR to taper. Current Model 3 owners are seeing taper come in at around 50% SOC.
So yes, these numbers may be optimistic, but interesting food for thought, nonetheless. We will just have to wait and see.
HVACman and scottf200 contributed to this article
UPDATE: Based on an issue identified in the comments, a correction was made to this article in paragraph four. We removed (3-0 vs 2-0). This does not change the article thesis, since the Model 3 still has a larger cable than the Model S..

It seems almost a shame to be writing this entry now as, alas, I have missed my opportunity to speak to its’ recommender, as she’s departed for a far-away university. Nevertheless, despite it’s deviation from method and form, this is an important blog for me to write as it was the first Favourite Book I bought, and in many ways launched the project.
The Book Thief was something I’d heard of and when Jess then recommended it without any hesitation before suddenly turning slightly sheepish to mumble a caveat that “it’s a bit of a weird book to be a favourite” I knew I was onto a winner. It’s set in Nazi Germany and it’s narrated by death. It’s emotional, powerful and beautifully written. It now makes my list as one of my favourite books.
I kept it a while, if I’m honest, after I bought it. You’ll notice a theme throughout these pages of books I never would have read by myself but The Book Thief bucks that trend: it’s very much something I would pick off the self and choose to read. For that reason, it sat a while at the bottom of my pile of Favourite Books as a reward for starting those I was less inclined to push on with. When I finally reached it, it did not disappoint.
For a hefty book, it’s a quick read. I think that’s down to a combination of the really outstanding little narrative break-ups in the text (I don’t quite know how to explain these, but find Markus Zusak next time you’re in a book shop and flick through the book yourself, you’ll see what I mean) and the fact that the book is an absolute page-turner. It slows down a little coming into the final quarter but it’s a necessary gear change for the lasting impression of the ending.
I wish I’d had the chance to have a discussion with Jess about this book, because once again it’s a dark, powerful novel about death and suffering recommended by someone with a contagious laugh and a smile that makes you happy, and I’m becoming absolutely facinated by what makes people so attracted to a book that is so far distanced from the impression I have of them. Does The Book Thief show Jess’ rosy, good-natured effervescence to be a facade? Or does it provide an outlet that enables the continued success of her vivacious character? When Megan recommends In Cold Blood or Charlie recommends Birdsong – are we seeing a darker side of them or just an engagment in the darker side of human nature specifically to distance themselves further from it? Or maybe it’s just that all of the greatest books are about really nasty stuff.
Anyway, enough lamentation on missed opportunities – it’s an exquisite book and Jess, if you’re reading, thanks for sending it my way. Just between you and I, it’s been my favourite Favourite Book so far.

ERIE, Colo. — Early every summer, the roar of motorcycle engines can be heard over northern Colorado as hundreds of bikers take part in the Frank’s Ride poker run.
During the poker run, motorcyclists go along a pre-set route stopping at various locations along the way to pick up a playing card. At the end of the run, the best poker hands win prizes — not to mention bragging rights for the year.
The ride is also a fundraiser. Over the last 35 years, the Frank’s Ride poker run has raised more than $800,000 to help Make-A-Wish Colorado achieve its mission of creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Tracy Perry has been volunteering with Make-A-Wish for most of that time and represents Make-A-Wish on the committee that plans Frank’s Ride every year. He got started more than 30 years ago after reading an article about the very first wish granted by Make-A-Wish.
“When I got done reading that article, I thought, ‘I have to work for this organization,’” Perry said.
In the years since he made that call, Perry said he and his wife have helped grant more than 160 wishes.
“There’s a lot of research going on about how much good a wish does for a child with a life-threatening illness,” he said. “They get away from doctors and nurses and shots and all the painful stuff and enjoy themselves for weeks sometimes.”
Patti Forsythe is now the event director for Make-A-Wish Colorado. She remembers meeting Perry after he first called offering to help.
“Immediately, his sensitivity and compassion and love for kids came through,” she said, adding that acting as the liaison with Frank’s Ride is only one of the many things Perry does for the organization. “His main [job] is interviewing the Wish Kids to see what their wishes are going to be. He puts his heart and soul into that.”
- Learn how you can help Make-A-Wish Colorado by volunteering or donating..
One of the first kids Perry interviewed 30 years ago was Priscilla Dodsworth. Her wish was for a family trip to Walt Disney World. She said the trip was a big part of keeping a positive outlook in her fight against leukemia. One of the things she looks forward to now are the yearly calls from Perry on her birthday.
“I think he's really special," Dodsworth said. "He gives so much to other people without getting anything in return."
Along with his wife, Lois, Perry's contributions to Make-A-Wish Colorado over the past three decades have been invaluable. Everyone who works with them said it’s clear he’s acting purely from his heart.
“He just loves kids,” Forsythe said. “He loves to put a smile on their face and that smile is the biggest reward he will ever get.”

Migrant Crisis Solutions
5 Practical Solutions To Ease The Refugee Crisis
This week’s headlines have been dominated by stories relating to the refugee crisis. While the numbers involved are far more serious in countries closer to these conflicts (for perspective, Lebanon, with a population of just 4 million is now hosting between 1.2m-2m refugees), a sudden spike in numbers reaching mainland Europe has brought the issue into sharp focus. Germany and Hungary have already received more asylum claims so far this year than in the whole of 2014. The vast majority of those seeking asylum in the EU are from Syria, followed (quite a way behind) by Afghanistan, Kosovo and Eritrea. Asylum applications per 1000 of the population are highest in Sweden (7.8), then Hungary (4.2), then Germany (2.1), with Britain way back at just 0.5.
You can donate money in the short term (Medecins Sans Frontieres will send doctors into any situation where other medical facilities have collapsed; Save The Children will receive a donation if you text SYRIA to 70008; UNICEF have child-safe spaces set up to protect minors who have been displaced; the UNHCR is running specific campaigns for the main conflicts currently sending refugees to Europe (scroll down this page); The Red Cross is supplying food, water and medical care to refugees, but what are longer term moves which will manage this crisis?
Standardise the rules across Europe
One of the reasons why refugees are clustering at certain points around Europe is because they get treated better in certain countries than in others, so are incentivised to head there. This isn’t particularly to do with tabloid scare stories about "generous benefits", but more things like the speed at which families are reunited with their children and cases like Sweden, where Syrians have been granted indefinite residence, as opposed to other countries where they know that they may be forced to relocate again. Forcing all European countries to adhere to the same rules will help to spread the flow of migrants across the continent rather than pushing them towards certain places. This would also mean a more cohesive sharing of data between countries, so the movement of migrants could be tracked once they arrive.
Decide where is ‘safe’
The current chaotic system means that refugees in fear of their lives are going through the same channels as those leaving countries like Albania, which – while economically poor – are not placing their citizens in mortal danger. If the EU can agree on a list of "safe countries of origin", then host countries would have a legal basis for sending back migrants who aren’t in danger. This is tough for those who are legitimately seeking better prospects in the west, but the needs of those in physical danger must be prioritised. And in the longer term, developing economies are not benefitted by their best and brightest young people leaving for the west.
Get them working
Historical precedent – the Ugandan Asians who arrived in Britain in the early 1970s, or the 1.3m Vietnamese boat people who fled to the West – shows that migrants who’ve taken enormous risks to reach a country tend to be hard working, industrious and economically productive. The fastest way to reduce a burden on a host country is to change the law so that refugees can work. This is already the case in most European countries, but in Turkey and other Arab states, Syrian refugees are not allowed to work. Changing this law would offer more incentive for them to stay closer to home, rather than heading onwards to Europe. The Economist points out that with an ageing population and low birth rate, western Europe is in dire need of keen, working-age citizens: "People who cross deserts and stormy seas to get to Europe are unlikely to be slackers when they arrive…Let them in and let them earn."
Set up a parallel economy
Writing in The Spectator, Paul Collier looked at Za’atari, the largest Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, and debated an idea for Syria’s longer-term economic recovery after the war eventually ends: "Just minutes from the Za’atari camp is an empty industrial zone, fully equipped with infrastructure. This could be a perfect haven of employment, the means by which Europe could incubate Syrian post-conflict recovery. This zone alone is large enough to employ the labour force of Za’atari several times over. The people working there would recover their autonomy, and have a prospect of relocating to Syria when the war is over. The zone could house Syrian businesses that cannot continue to function at home…Once peace returns, these businesses could relocate with their returning Syrian workforce, while also continuing to operate in Jordan with their Jordanian workforce."
Utilise the power of football
The response of many German citizens and politicians to the arrival of refugees in their cities has been exemplary (police in Munich took to Twitter to ask local people to stop bringing supplies for refugees as they were "overwhelmed" with donations). But a special mention goes to Bayern Munich who have announced that they will donate €1m to help refugees, and that their youth academy will set up a training camp for refugee children, which will also give them meals and German language classes. "FC Bayern see it as a social responsibility to help those fleeing and suffering children…to support them and accompany them in Germany", said the club’s chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. This is a real example of how stupendously wealthy clubs with massive support bases can effect meaningful social change; at the time of writing, football supporters are ahead of the curve, with "Refugees Welcome" banners due to be unveiled at games this Saturday. The English Premier League is one of the biggest global showcases this country has: showing that it’s doing the right thing sends a huge signal out to the rest of the world about what kind of place we are. Meanwhile, don’t bet against Germany’s winning World Cup goal being scored in 2022 by a Bayern player with an Arabic-sounding surname.

Piper and Leaf Review
Piper and Leaf has two locations in Madison County; one at the Lowe Mill in Huntsville, and one in Madison near Sprouts off Highway 72. While both locations are conveniently placed, you can purchase Piper and Leaf tea almost anywhere thanks to their frequent pop-up tea stands at farmer’s markets and Bridge Street.
If you go to a local brewery, the bartenders are typically knowledgeable about the their brews and what makes each one unique. Similarly, the “Piperistas”, as they are known, are more than willing to describe the different flavors in each tea and provide three samples at a time for customers.
During this visit, I tried their newest flavor, Capri Cream. It is made with Milk Oolong tea, apples, pineapples, persimmons, orange and lemon rind, chamomile, lime leaves, and spearmint. Although you can add milk to their teas to achieve that creamy taste, this tea is creamy-tasting all on its own without having a heavier texture. It tastes like you are on a summer holiday in Capri, basking in the warm sunlight and sipping limoncello as you listen to the splashing waves and echoes of seagulls.
Both locations have unique vibes that invite soft conversation and slow tea-sipping. The Lowe Mill location is smaller with less seating, but it certainly has the coziness factor. The Strong Station location in Madison has much more seating and wide windows to let in the natural light. I personally prefer the Lowe Mill location as the seating area is tucked away from the often busy counter and because of the warm, Edison-bulb lighting and brick-covered interior.
Whether you are a tea enthusiast or brand new to the tea scene, Piper and Leaf is a unique place in this area that you’d hate to miss out on. Instead of meeting friends for coffee, try meeting them for tea instead. Just like your favorite coffee spot, Piper and Leaf offers both caffeinated and caffeine-free teas.

Last week, we told you about PennDot’s plan to make improvements to 4 sites along I-95 in and around Northern Liberties. One of the sites is situated right across 2nd Street from one of Philadelphia’s coolest projects currently under construction.
We originally told you about plans for this development in May of 2021 when it was in the planning phases. Since then, the unit count has increased slightly and now, if you go by the intersection, you’ll see that construction is well underway.
Steel work is now up to the 8th floor of this 14-story, 314,890 square foot project that will include 360 residential units, 21,841 square feet of commercial space, 83 automobile parking spots, and 122 bicycle stalls.
The project will include public outdoor space on the west side of the building. The development is the first phase of a master plan to redevelop the west side of 2nd Street between Spring Garden Street and Callowhill Street. When complete, the developer plans to turn American Street into a pedestrian plaza. The second phase of the master plan calls for a 23-story, 397-unit, mixed-use tower at 2nd and Callowhill. Demolitions is currently underway in anticipation of that development
The facade of the building at 2nd and Spring Garden will be clad in dark grey brick and will feature a curved corner at the 2nd and Spring Garden intersection. We must say, we think the design looks great.
We’re happy to see 360 new homes being built one block away from the Spring Garden El Station and love the visual effect this project is having on the streetscape. We look forward to watching this tower grow over the coming months and to seeing what kind of changes hundreds of new residents will have on the Northern Liberties retail scene.
How do you feel about this project? Are you happy to see all of these new homes being built in the area and for Northern Liberties and Old City to become better connected?

We have avoided getting involved in the whole Brexit debate as we have various opinions here at Rathfinny, probably echoing the rest of the country, and lately, it’s become quite a polarising issue. Group polarisation, discussed by Daniel Finkelstein in The Times last week, has taken over with each side holding more and more extreme views. However, we run a new and expanding English wine business and, as we move ever closer to the 29th March, I thought that I should share the concerns we have of exiting the EU without a deal. But, before you all start shouting at your screen, let me say that I’m not trying to make a political statement, what I’m trying to explain with this blog are the very real, practical issues that we may face in a no-

The Washington Times reports today that the duel of spending reduction bills may be won by Harry Reid. The CBO scored Reid’s proposal better than John Boehner’s on actual reductions in spending, although neither takes a machete to the budget. In fact, the difference is almost indistinguishable:
The Congressional Budget Office said the plan by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would raise the government’s borrowing limit by $2.7 trillion, and cut $2.2 trillion from future spending, chiefly by limiting the amount of money spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. …
The CBO said the Senate bill’s discretionary spending cuts would result in $840 billion in lower authorized spending, and $750 billion in actual lower outlays over the next decade. The Senate bill also capped spending on the two wars at $450 billion over the next decade, which would mean spending authority is $1.2 trillion lower, and actual outlays would be $1 trillion lower.
Reid’s advertising his proposal as authorizing $2.2 trillion in cuts for a $2.7 trillion debt-ceiling increase, but most of those cuts would happen anyway. Reid counts dollars spent on the war at current rates as part of the savings when the drawdowns occur, savings that are already in place. Instead, his bill cuts in 10 years roughly half of the annual budget deficit, averaging $75 billion a year, which is roughly nineteen days of borrowing at current deficit rates.
That’s an improvement over Boehner’s bill, but not by much. Boehner would save $710 billion over the next decade, averaging $71 billion a year, which accounts for 17.3 days of borrowing at the current rate of deficit spending. That’s more of a distinction without a difference. Boehner’s bill would only authorize a $900 billion hike in the debt limit, however, which would force a new round of cuts before next year’s election. Unlike Reid’s proposal, Boehner assumes that the savings in war funding have already taken place.
Boehner promised to go back and rewrite the House bill to get more savings out of it. Given these figures, that shouldn’t be a terribly difficult task. However, at this point, it looks like the two chambers are close enough in figures and approaches to pass their bills and get a conference committee to deal with the differences, which is probably what will happen by the end of the week.

On my 2004 CVPI, on the front-end, I just replaced upper and lower ball joints, sway-bar bushings, stabilizer-bar links, brake rotors, and pads. On the rear I replaced the pinion seal, wheel bearings and seals, and gear oil. In between, I replaced the u-joints, and the tail-shaft seal of the transmission.
The test drive seemed fine (no vibrations, odd noises, etc.).
I used the car yesterday. When I got home, and stopped to get the mail from my mailbox, I reached out of the driver’s window, and noticed a lot of heat coming up from the bottom of the car. When I parked, I found that the rear tires were noticeably hotter than the front tires. The wheels were warmer too. They weren’t untouchable — just noticeably warmer than the front. There was a lot of heat coming out from the rear wheel wells. I was really tired, and didn’t think of using the infrared thermometer until things had cooled down a bit. At that time the differential cover was reading about 120 F.
I know that the exhaust pipes run right next to the wheel wells. I tried to convince myself that I was just not used to this car (as it had been in my shop for over a month), but I have a nagging feeling that something that I did is causing too much friction.
When replacing the pinion seal, I made alignment marks, and the nut is exactly where it was prior to removal.
I plan on putting it back on stands this evening. I was going to check the gear-oil level (though it took the correct amount, and I saw no leaks), and I’ll check the ease with which everything is turning. Is there anything else I should be checking?
In the differential, I used Valvoline SynPower 75W140, full-synthetic gear oil. It contains an additive for limited-slip differentials.

Kelis, the estranged wife of rapper Nas, went into labor this morning and gave birth to the couple’s first child, a baby boy they named Knight.
Nas and Kelis have been going through a very public, and often times nasty, separation within the last few months. Kelis went into labor just minutes before the two, with their respective attorneys were to attend a court hearing on their pending divorce.
Internet rumor has begun circulating early in the day that Nas wasn’t allowed into the delivery room to witness the birth, though in a video recorded this afternoon the Queensbridge rapper tells fans to be wary of the gossip they read online (see video below).
This is Nas’ second child. He has a teenaged daughter from a previous relationship.

Chewy Pumpkin Spice Latte Krispie Treats have all the delicious fall flavors and a marshmallow filling, plus melted white chocolate on top. And a pinch of espresso for good measure!
Table of Contents
Why This Recipe Works
These Pumpkin Spice Latte Rice Krispie Treats are taken to the flavor max!
They are a fall MUST make that everyone will love!
- The combination of pumpkin pie spice and pumpkin puree that’s been reduced down gives seriously cozy fall flavors to these treats.
- A creamy filling made with marshmallow fluff adds extra flavor and interest and is super easy to make.
- Melted white chocolate is drizzled over the top of each triangle piece to finish them off. Top with sprinkles or some extra espresso powder to really make them special.
- Marshmallows – You’ll need a large 16-ounce bag of regular marshmallows for this pumpkin spice latte krispie treats recipe. Fresh marshmallows are best. (Trust me and throw out the bag that’s been just sitting in the back of your pantry for months.)
- Rice Krispies Cereal – Any brand of crispy rice cereal will work, just make sure it’s FRESH. Stale cereal equals stale rice krispie treats.
- Marshmallow Creme – Also called marshmallow fluff, this is used to make a creamy middle layer in the rice krispies.
- Espresso Powder – This is essentially a highly concentrated powdered coffee that helps bring the latte flavor to these treats.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice – Use our homemade pumpkin pie spice mix for the best flavor!
STEP 1. Make the marshmallow filling. Combine the marshmallow creme and the espresso powder until well combined. Set aside.
STEP 2. Make the Rice Krispies. Start by reducing the pumpkin and butter together to eliminate any extra water from the pumpkin puree. Then melt the marshmallows, add the pumpkin pie spice and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal.
STEP 3. Layer the treats. Add half of the rice krispy mixture to a parchment paper lined 8×8 pan. Gently press in. Top with the marshmallow creme mixture and spread it evenly over the top. Add the remaining rice krispies and gently press to make the top.
STEP 4. Set up, cut and add toppings. Let the treats set up firmly, for about 2 hours. Cut into 9 large squares and then halve those to create 18 triangle pieces. Top the pumpkin spice latte krispie treats with the melted white chocolate and add sprinkles or extra espresso powder. Enjoy!
Tips and Tricks
As you can see from the photos, these are super easy to put together.
- First though, to help prevent them from being soggy, you’re going to cook down your pumpkin puree with butter for several minutes until the excess liquid has burned off.
- Then proceed by adding in your marshmallows and stirring until they are smooth. You’ll want to add the cereal quickly and press half of the mixture into a parchment paper lined baking dish.
- In a small bowl, you’ll combine the ingredients for the marshmallow filling and then spread that over your first layer of krispies, followed by your remaining cereal mixture.
- NOTE: Do not press these firmly into the pan. I use my fingers (which I butter lightly) to press my krispies GENTLY. The firmer you press, the dryer and harder they become. Trust me. I’m a krispie treat expert. I wear a badge.
Pair these Rice Krispie treats with my favorite Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew recipe!
Yes. Choose a crispy rice cereal that is labeled gluten free. Check your marshmallow label, too, just in case.
Your krispies treats could be getting hard if you press the treats too firmly into the pan, which makes them more dense and tough. Also, be sure to start with fresh marshmallows and fresh cereal for best results.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Turkey Krispie treats: almost too cute to eat. Would look great on your Thanksgiving table!

Shabby condition of roads, flyover in Gandhi Nagar: Abhay Bakaya
Post by on Friday, May 6, 2022
Jammu, May 05: Apni Party (AP) state general secretary of youth wing, AbhayBakaya Thursday expressed his serious concern over the pathetic condition of roads and flyover in Gandhi Nagar.
In a statement, he said that the condition of roads is in adverse condition with no attention from the authorities concerned.
He said that the pot holes on the roads have become a major cause of concern in many of the areas falling in Gandhi Nagar and the condition of the flyover passing through Gandhi Nagar is also in shabby condition.
He demanded that the immediate repair work should be initiated by the authorities concerned for the facility of the people.
He said that the people should be provided better road facilities. “How can the main city roads be ignored.The two wheelers riders have become victims many times due to the pot holes in the middle of the roads,” he said while asking the authorities to look into the issue of public concern.
He said that the Smart City Project seems to have failed before its take off. “The development is visible in the press statements and sign boards but visually there is no development on the ground,” he said and questioned the silence of the Smart City project officials for witnessing the condition of the posh area.
He demanded that the authorities must take a review of the condition of the roads and flyover to protect the life of the commuters.

Hall of Fame Names Rodgers to All-Decade Team But Can’t Spell Name Correctly
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers joined Tom Brady as the quarterbacks on the NFL’s all-decade team, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced on Monday.
During the decade, Rodgers was selected for seven Pro Bowls and three All-Pro teams. Among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 passing attempts in the 2010s, Rodgers was No. 1 in passer rating (103.6), touchdown-to-interception ratio (4.84 touchdowns per interception) and interception percentage (1.28), No. 3 in touchdowns (305), No. 4 in yards per attempt (7.75) and No. 7 in yards (38,145). He won one Super Bowl – the first of the decade – and reached NFC Championship Games in 2014, 2016 and 2019. Brady’s Patriots had the best winning percentage (.770) during the decade and Rodgers’ Packers were second (.638).
Video: Here are the unanimous picks for all-decade team
Rodgers beat out Drew Brees and Russell Wilson for the honor. Brees was second in passer rating (102.9) and first in yards (46,770) and touchdowns (345). However, he didn’t win a Super Bowl, reached only one NFC title game and guided a team that finished with a losing record four times. Wilson was third in passer rating (101.2), 11th in passing yards (29,734 since 2012) and ninth in touchdowns (227). He led the Seahawks to victories in both of his NFC Championship appearances.
Along with Rodgers, two other players with Packers ties made the team. Guard Jahri Evans completed his career with the Packers in 2017 and defensive end Julius Peppers spent the 2014 through 2016 seasons as an outside linebacker with the Packers.
The full offense is here, the defense is here and the special teams/coaches are here. (As of the writing of this story, the Hall of Fame press released misspelled the names of Rodgers, Evans and guard Marshal Yanda.)
Eight unanimous selections – Brady, defensive tackle Aaron Donald, linebacker Von Miller, running back Adrian Peterson, offensive tackle Joe Thomas, kicker Justin Tucker, defensive end J.J. Watt and Yanda – appear among the 53 players.

In the Footsteps of the Gods: Travellers to Greece and the Quest for the Hellenic Ideal
By: David Constantine (author)Paperback
Only 1 in stock
Gladiators and goddesses, philosophers and poets, epic battles and romantic landscapes - the classical world has for centuries captivated and inspired the west. But what provoked the shift from the western world's love-affair with classical Rome and its manifestation in the Renaissance, to the Hellenic world? The decisive switch in focus and taste from Rome to Greece began in the 17th century, when a succession of travellers - mainly from France and England - journeyed to Greece and what is now Turkey and rediscovered the Hellenic world. In the Footsteps of the Gods traces the ways in which the constantly changing ideal image of ancient Greece, its art, politics and culture, inspired those who travelled there. With lively accounts of their adventurous journeys and vivid descriptions of what they saw, discovered, collected and published about the remains of ancient Greece, it reveals the extraordinary effects that these travellers' accounts had on the poets and scholars of the west, who in turn were influential in creating the idea and ideal of Greece, which became such a powerful force in the arts and politics of the 18th and early 19th centuries.
At the heart of the book is, in the words of the classicist, Richard Stoneman, 'a poet's vision of Greece'.
David Constantine was for thirty years a university teacher of German language and literature. He has published several volumes of poetry, most recently 'Nine Fathom Deep'; also a novel, 'Davies', and three collections of short stories, the latest being 'The Shieling'. He is a translator and editor of Holderlin, Goethe, Kleist and Brecht. His translation of Goethe's 'Faust' was published by Penguin. With his wife Helen he edits 'Modern Poetry in Translation'.

Marjoram, sometimes called sweet marjoram, has small, oval, grey-green leaves and a nice, spicy fragrance. It’s originally from Africa and it spread to Europe in the Medieval times. Marjoram has been used as a seasoning and a home remedy for centuries. The Greeks had a special fondness and many uses for this herb. According to a legend, its sweet scent comes from the touch of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Marjoram was used in bridal wreaths and then added to foods to maintain the marital bliss.
In herbal healing, the essential oils of marjoram are used to relieve the stiffness of muscles and joints. And marjoram infusions are said to help in all kinds of troubles, from insomnia to seasickness. Maybe marjoram should have a place in your medicine cabinet. Who knows? But it should definitely have a place in the kitchen. Taste-wise, it could be described as mild oregano, with a sweeter and more lemony hue. Marjoram is the essential herb in the vegetarian cuisine, in lamb dishes and many Greek or Italian food. Spaghetti, anyone?

They always ask how can writing 500 words on a work of fiction for kids be far more difficult than a 25k+ word, thoroughly researched non-fiction book for grown-ups?
I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t gone through the process of writing it, finding an illustrator and compiling the picture book together.
Here are three things I wish knew before creating my first children’s picture book …
1) The Writing
I knew I wanted to write a rhyming picture book as many of my favorite picture books, such as Margaret Mahy’s Down the Back of the Chair were in rhyme.
Anyone can rhyme; kids are especially good at it. But to rhyme exceptionally takes a lot of effort. And the rhyme in children’s picture books should not just be outstanding, it should be perfect. Even on very popular picture books this rule does get broken: in the best-selling and beloved book, Giraffes Can’t Dance, “violin” is rhymed with “thing”. But rhyme perfection should always be the goal.
However, perfect rhyme is not enough. These books must also have constant and consistent rhythm. I had absolutely no idea about rhythm, stress and meter before I started creating my first children’s picture book. I did read a bit of Shakespeare in high school but never understood what all the fuss was about. Tackling my first picture book meant working out what meter the first line of my book was in and taking that through to the very last line. And that meant reviewing every single word and syllable for how it sounded. I ended up writing Maxy-Moo Flies to the Moon in iambic pentameter or it could have been in trochaic hexameter, I am not exactly sure now. I just know that the meter is consistent throughout the book (well excluding the middle climax page where I made an allowable exception).
All this is actually putting the cart before the horse. Like all writing, it is the story and the characters that are the most important aspect. I did know this before starting the endeavor. What I didn’t know was that the character had to be really memorable, that each page in a picture book must have action on it — at least one verb — something to draw a picture around and that the book has be engaging enough to make a small child want to turn every page. All this is a tall ask when you add perfect rhythm and rhyme to the mix.
It took me many months of revisions, manuscript assessments and beta reader feedback to get the written manuscript as good as it could possibly be. I thought the rest of the project would be a walk in the park. How wrong I was.
2) The Pictures
Even though writing a rhyming children’s picture book was difficult, I knew I had the talent and skill level required to do it. Not so with illustrations — my children draw better than me. When I started the project, I knew I would be outsourcing the pictures part.
The first thing I did not understand was all the terminology around color and drawing. I had never heard of RGB versus CMYK color models and didn’t know that the eBook version of the picture book must be done in RGB but the print book could and should be done under CMYK. Also I had to make sure the print version was in at least 300 DPI (or was it PPI?), whatever that was.
I also had no idea about the different types of illustrators nor indeed what I wanted in terms of style for the illustrations. I just knew what I liked. Illustrators can work with digital tools or use traditional methods like watercolor or combine a mix of both. They can draw manually and then convert to a digital picture or draw directly into a digital program.
Which led to finding an illustrator. There are a lot of freelance sites but I chose Upwork as that is where I found my editor. I described what I wanted (full copyright and ownership of the artworks) and what I was willing to pay (hundreds but not thousands) and was gob smacked by being inundated by hundreds of replies from all around the world in the space of a few days. Whittling responses down to a top 20 and then a top 5 took far longer than I expected. I then chose one illustrator and decided after the first couple of illustrations that the pictures were not what wanted after all. We parted and I was fortunate to secure the amazing Catty Flores.
Communicating with my illustrator was something we had to work through. I did not know how much guidance I should give her. I wanted the main character, Maxy-Moo to have blonde hair but what would the other characters, the moon or the animals look like? I made some mistakes such as not asking Catty to add the “shy giraffe” in one picture. I tell the kids I read my book to now that the giraffe is so shy that she is hiding! In the end, with a lot of back and forth, I am delighted with Catty’s illustrations, especially the conga line that literally goes around the moon.
3) The Format and Design
So I had the manuscript and I had the illustrations but what I wish knew before creating my first children’s picture book was that, as an independent author, I would somehow have to find a way to marry the two together.
I thought about teaching myself Photoshop or InDesign but I wanted a beautiful picture book that would be indistinguishable from a traditionally published children’s book. My talents in this area would only stretch so far. I needed outside help. Fortunately I discovered Karen Inglis and her helpful blog posts through an interview on The Creative Penn podcast. Using Karen’s advice, I got in touch with Doug and the team at Lighthouse24 who helped format and design the book.
Most picture books are 28 pages and so I had split the story into 14 sections with a picture for each. First, I needed to choose the size and shape of the book. I chose a square size, different from all my other books. Then I worked with the Lighthouse24 team to sort out the size and type of the font and where it would sit on each page. As Maxy-Moo Flies to the Moon is my only book currently in hardcover, I had additional items to sort out for it, such as the writing on the spine.
The final product was so much better than I ever dreamed it could be but it came at a cost of many hours of my time and hundreds of dollars spent.
ROI on Creating My First Children’s Picture Book
Children’s picture books are fun, joyful and make it easy for kids to love books. What is there not to like about them? I firmly believe the world cannot have enough children’s picture books. I have made it no secret that I definitely want to make more books for kids.
However, creating Maxy-Moo Flies to the Moon was incredibly challenging and almost put me off making any more. What I wish knew before creating my first children’s picture book was that it would take a myriad of time-consuming and expensive decisions around writing, pictures and formatting the book.
In a purely financial sense, I have not actually got a return on investment (ROI) from Maxy-Moo Flies to the Moon. However, I have been fortunate to read the book to my local kindergarten and school and to place it in the Auckland city libraries. Every time I see a smile on a child’s face that I read to or receive feedback that Maxy-Moo Flies to the Moon is a favorite go-to bedtime story, that is a return on investment for me.

If you have not paid back your loans, credit card loans, personal loans, or even utility bills, you probably get a letter from a debt recovery agency. These agencies collect all your unpaid debts, including your medical loans, personal loans, utility or phone bills, car loan, education loan, or even your credit card. However, there are two types of these agencies; one who is hired to gather these debts, and others are those who buy old debts for some time on dollars. Nevertheless, you should first know about what the debt recovery is and how does it work.
Debt recovery is also known as debt collection; however, it differs from a slight but distinctive feature; the person who collects the debt from the borrower, wither it the creditor himself or he involves the third party in it. When any kind of load remains unpaid, then the creditor hires an agent to gather all your debt and specifically focuses on collecting cash from the debtor; this whole process is called as debt recovery.
It is important because it is straight associated with your credit balance. Nevertheless, when the debt recovery agency sends you the letter of debt recovery, it men have all your records about your cash balance and pending loans, and these records are informed to the credit agencies. After that, these credit agencies have all the authority to damage all your credit score. If they do this, it can possibly impact your chances of taking further loons in the future.
The process of debt recovery comprises some steps, and you must have recognized these steps so that you should know about the expected steps when a debt recovery agent would contact you. since the financial loans are a challenging condition, so it is crucial to know about the process. I will guide you about the process of debt recovery; however, make sure that you keep protected from being harassed by this process.
Steps Involved in Debt Recovery
Before initiating the debt recovery process, there is a settlement being done in which the debt recovery agency gives you an opportunity to meet the creditor and pay back all the loans without attempting the court trials and avoid wasting money. However, if there is still no response, then the procedure takes off.
1. Hire Debt Recovery Agent
The debt recovery is made by the third party other than the creditor and the debtor who is known as the debt recovery agent. Nonetheless, when you don’t return the loan to the creditor, he starts this process by sending you a letter in order to inform you about the process. Yet, before sending you the letter, he also sends the debt agreement in which all the rules and regulations were written, and your signatures were done, to the agent, so that he could start the process according to that agreement. Once this agreement letter is studied and agreed by the agent, he would start the debt recovery process by sending the acknowledgment letter to the debtor. After a few days, the debt recovery process begins.
2. Appoint Associated Attorneys
The process begins with the phone contact of the agent with the borrower to simply ask for the payment or to ensure that the debtor has released the payments. However, if he does not cooperate in resolving this matter, the debt recovery agents update the creditor with the information and hire some associated lawyers to look after the case. Once this information letter is reviewed and accepted by the creditor, it is further sent to those advocates. On the other hand, if the creditor does not sign the statement, and acclaim some alternative actions yet legal, then some other appropriate actions are needed.
3. Legal Actions Take Place
If the creditor agrees on these legal actions and appropriate requirements, then the case starts preparing and filing. However, if the creditor agrees on all the requirements without recommending alternative actions, then the debt recovery agency works on the agreement for 60 more days, and the case is closed.
4. Final Judgment is Done
Once the complaint is filed and the borrower has responded towards this case, then the process would be going on a trial basis. In oppose, if the debtor still does not respond, then the case goes towards further inquiry. In this case, the ultimate decision would go in favor of the creditor, and the judgment would file a Writ to Attachment letter and tries to locate the borrower’s assets and fulfill the creditor’s loan by taking all these assets.
What happens if the debtor does not respond?
As I discussed above, if the debtor does not attend the court trials or respond to any of the letters, then the court makes a decision against the debtor. Nevertheless, when the creditor gets the judgment against the debtor, then he has all the authority to adopt an alternative technique to get all of his cashback. He has the power to seize his borrower’s property, freeze his bank account, or possess his house. Once he has gone these approaches, he has all the right to do anything about this stuff; wither he can sell the house out by conducting an auction, use his bank balance, or sell out his property to achieve his money.
Process Period of Debt Recovery
Well, the time period of the completion of the debt recovery process depends upon the situation of the type of debt. However, the earlier you recognize the debt, the quicker the debt recovery agent would initiate the process, and the more promptly it would be resolved since the older debts may work more precisely and help to locate the debtor more speedily. On the other hand, the completion period also depends upon the response of the borrower; if he contacted you at first, after receiving the letter, the case would be resolved with the blink of an eye. Yet, if he does not pay any attention, the case would go in further proceedings.

Recorded by GEOFF KEEZER on WAITING IN THE WINGS
Sunnyside: SSC 1035D / Recorded September 16, 1988
||Medium up (3/4 [9/8])
GEOFF KEEZER ranks as one of contemporary jazz's brightest young stars. Recording with the Jazz Messengers at age 17, the pianist has since proven his early promise and emerged as a major recording artist and composer. Also see his big band arrangement of James Williams' Beauty Within.
Front Line: B-flat, E-flat, C treble clef, Vibes, C bass clef
Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar
Accra is in triple meter. This energetic arrangement features an effective use of a unison front line and a not-so-common 9/8 feel which turns into a 3/4 swing to really groove in triple meter. The head is not hard to play and it provides a good vehicle for working on intonation. There's also a great interlude that can set up a soloist.
SOLOS: The solos feature some difficult changes but each chord gets at least a full bar so there's enough time to say something before moving on to the next change.

Fake Deaf Intepreter at Mandela Memorial Says He Is Schizophrenic
"There was nothing I could do," the man, identified as Thamsanqa Jantjie, says of the episode
The man who stood next to President Obama and other world leaders and faked sign language during Tuesday’s memorial for Nelson Mandela says he suffers from schizophrenia and had an attack that caused him to hear voices and hallucinate on stage.
The man, identified as Thamsanqa Jantjie, 34, claims he is a real interpreter but that a schizophrenic episode caused him to lose concentration and start making meaningless signs, reports South Africa’s Star newspaper.
“There was nothing I could do,” Jantjie tells the paper. “I was alone in a very dangerous situation. I tried to control myself and not show the world what was going on. I am very sorry, it’s the situation I found myself in.”
He added: “Life is unfair. This illness is unfair. Anyone who doesn’t understand this illness will think that I’m just making this up.”
Jantjie says he did not skip his medication, and that it could have been the momentous occasion or the extreme happiness he felt that day that triggered the attack.
An investigation is ongoing.
Meanwhile, the deaf community is outraged by the episode. A spokesman for South Africa’s National Institute for the Deaf said the organization was “saddened that the deaf in attendance could not understand what other great statesmen said about the legacy that the father of our nation leaves behind.”
