Hey guys, need some advice.
I was driving home tonight and as I was going up the same hill I always go up, my headlights cut out to my DRL for half a second and turned on again.
At the same time, my TCS/DSC light came on for half a second and then turned off.

I was almost home but I drove around for about 5 minutes to see if it would happen again but it didn't.
Is this something I should be worried about?

Did it throw a code at all? Did you hit a bump or was it totally random?

I have a IS300, this is my 2nd one. I love it, it's a great car. Both that I owned were automatic

The e-shift isn't a true shifter, it's a torque converter. There is a slight delay.

It's not a true shifter, as when you downshift, it just limits the gear that the car can go into, it's not the exact gear (eg. If you "downshift" from 5 to 3, that doesn't mean that the car is in gear 3, it means that the ECU has the choice to choose from Gear 1, Gear 2, or Gear 3. However it's smart enough not to blow up your engine, so it will choose gear 3)

Hope that helps

That helps a lot, thanks. If you're in say 4 and the revs are dropping and you hit the down button for 3, how long of a delay is there between when you press the button and when you get 3? Likewise how long is the delay on the way up?

I remember in the Prelude there is like a 2 second delay between when you hit the button and when it changed gears, so on the way up you would have to plan out what you were doing and hit the button early to make it shift when you wanted, it was okay but a bit of a pain and not much fun to drive like that.

Police searching for Vancouver sex assault suspect | News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/2014/05/14/police-searching-for-vancouver-sex-assault-suspect/)

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) Police are looking for a man they believe is responsible for a daytime sex assault in Vancouver on Monday.

A 22-year-old woman was attacked on Cambie near 37th during the afternoon rush-hour.

Constable Brian Montague says theyre looking into whether this man is linked to other assaults.

We actually believe this suspect may have been loitering in the bushes just prior to the attack and he was looking for the opportunity to prey on somebody. She did the right, she fought back and called police.

The man is described as white, 25 years old, 58 tall with a medium build, sandy blond short hair and light coloured eyes. He was wearing a red baseball cap, a navy blue length jacket, baggy denim jeans and dark boot-type shoes.

Anyone with information about this attack, or who may know the identity of this suspect, is asked to call the Vancouver Police Sex Crimes Unit at (604) 717-0603 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222 8477.

my bet is what it will be the same as any other automatic. There's always going to be a delay when you have a torque converter.

I have never timed it, but it's about 1 second, feels like slightly less.

I know for sure it's not as long as 2 seconds though, that is LOOONG.

yes. wouldn't they have to pay the strata penalties before they leave or have it tied to the unit meaning the new buyer would have to pay, thus decreasing the value of the unit by whatever the penalty fees levied against that unit?

Funny story at work, don't know where else to post this, lol.

K, so I work as a lifeguard and swimming instructor for a pool in city of Vancouver. On Thursday, I have an hour of cleaning/lifeguarding after my teaching portion ends, at 8 pm. I was in the hot tub, and was gonna shower and change, then another lifeguard tells me someone took a shit in the men's changeroom washroom. Great. I got ready, and headed inside.

I expected like, a bit of leakage left on the seat or something. Usually they say "took a shit" but it only turns out to be a smear or something. Nope, not today. There was literally a log, in front of the toilet, on a piece of toilet paper. I almost puked when I saw it. I ran back out, grabbed the heavy duty disinfectant, and threw another shirt over my face, like a bandana.

I didn't wanna touch that shit, so I lined a dustpan with lots of tissue, threw more tissues over the turd, and swept it into the pan. Little did I know, there was a smaller turd under it, which just smeared when I swept it. I almost puked, again. This kid that regularly comes to the pool was watching me, laughing at my misfortune. I ran out, gathered up courage, and went back in to finish it up, sweeping and disinfecting the hell out of the area. Shittiest day at work, literally LOL.

2: Bunch of grade 12's thought it would be a hilarious Grad prank to shit in every urinal in the school. I guess the effect was kind of funny since 1500 guys couldn't pee for the whole day...but I feel terrible for the custodian who probably had to clean it up. Although he was a bit of an ass...lol.

Kay.. here's another couple shitty stories from work.

About a month ago, I went in to hose and sweep the changeroom again, and in a different stall, was diarrhea and shit all over the wall. It literally looked like someone took a shit, stood up, bent over, and shot shit all over. It covered the toilet, and ended at about 4 feet up on the wall. How someone can spurt so much poop still bewilders me.

Now, this is what the staff call "Diarrhea Sunday". This was in 2011 or so. Some old guy, started leaking in the shallow end of the pool. He notices, then wades over slowly to the ramp to get out. For some reason, he starts wiping his soiled shorts with his hand, and then grabs the handrail to help himself get out. There are now shitty handprints on the rail, and you can see shitty footprints leading from the stairs of the pool to the changeroom. A coworker goes in, and finds the footprints leading to the washroom, and finds a patty on the ground, near the toilet. The pool was completely shut down for the rest of the day, and about 400 bucks of chlorine was added to kill everything. Best part was, the dude got his pass renewed for free.

I've decided that when I get old and need to renew my pass, I'm gonna take a massive shit in the pool and complain that I'm old.

I can too that. In my grade 8 in highschool i heard rumors, and saw with my own eyes. About 8-10 boys all shit one after another in the same toilet, then dropped a fire works like a cherry bomb inside and lit it. Not only did the toilet break, but shit was literally exploded everywhere, on all four walls plus the floor and ceiling. Epic assholeness for sure.

Up until now, I thought that box was only checked if a single incident resulted in over $2000 worth of damages. But since it says cumulative, a couple smash and grabs, and a replaced windshield will mean you gotta check that box.

Who knew it was cumulative and who thought it was a single incident? :accepted:

New Baby Dinosaur Fossil Reveals Cause of Death | I Fucking Love Science (http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/new-baby-dinosaur-fossil-reveals-cause-death)

http://www.iflscience.com/sites/www.iflscience.com/files/styles/ifls_large/public/blog/baby%20dino.jpg?itok=0-t8pA63

It’s a pretty rare event to find complete fossils in good condition. After millions of years any number of things could happen to destroy fossils before they are discovered and documented by scientists, if the animal even fossilizes at all. Finding well preserved baby animals is particularly hard, since they are more likely to have gotten trampled or eaten after their death. Phillip Currie from the University of Alberta has recently uncovered a juvenile Chasmosaurus belli that was so complete and intact, he was actually able to speculate about the cause of death.

Chasmosaurus belli is commonly found in British Columbia, Canada. It is a relative of the triceratops and has the familiar ornamental frill. Up to this point, all of the skeletons have been adults. Random bones of smaller dinosaurs have been discovered, but lacked the context of a full animal. The discovery of the 70-million-year-old juvenile, which was only about three years old at the time of death, reveals important clues about how the dinosaur grew and changed over the course of its life. As it turns out, the young C. bellis look a lot like the adults, just smaller. The newly-discovered young dino was about three years old at the time of its death, measuring about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long. Adults grew to be about 15 feet (5 meters) long, though the body plan is essentially unchanged. Other baby dinosaurs have proportionally longer legs to keep up with quick-moving adults, but that does not seem to be the case with this species.

The fossil was found in what used to be a riverbed. This has led Currie and his research team to believe that the baby didn’t die at the hands of a larger creature. It most likely wandered out too far into the water and got caught in the current. Unable to save itself, it drowned and settled at the bottom of the river, where it would eventually become fossilized in the sediment. The body was so well preserved, Currie was actually able to see impressions from the baby’s skin in the surrounding rock. The team hopes to use this fossil to gain a deeper understanding of how C. belli lived and how it existed in the context of its ecosystem

So my GE over-the-range microwave just died and I'm looking to find service for it. Since it's over-the-range, I can't just simply replace it.

Looks something like that.

I already tried resetting the breaker.

Can anyone recommend service locally?

EDIT: I called into GE and it basically told me to go check their website for local service centers, but there doesn't seem to be any in Vancouver..

Unless it's hardwired, which I doubt, it's as simple as undoing 4 screws and disconnecting the duct.

To remove the microwave? I'll have to take a look. I know that there are fan vents on the bottom of the microwave that I believe is attached to it. I know I need the vents for the stove.

I'll upload some photos shortly after I get back.

I took a look, and yes, it appears to be mounted through the top via two screws just like in the link you provided. The plug is beside the vent on the top.

So what you're saying is that I could technically just unmount the current microwave, and replace it with a similar one, and remount it?

Once you take yours off, just measure the top dimensions and the location of the blower hole (I'm sure most are the same). I'd get someone to hold the unit from below, just to make sure it doesn't drop. There's a bracket attached to the wall that should hold it in place when the top screws are removed though.

Make sure you read the manual and that the blower is oriented for use with a vent pipe (not to recirculate out the front). It will also come with a new bracket and template. As long as the dimensions are the same as your old one, just replace the wall bracket and (possibly) drill new top mount holes.

Audi 'morally responsible' for 4,500 deaths

Auto Union's connections to the Nazi party were revealed recently in a historical study commissioned by Audi.

After Daimler, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen told everyone about their Nazi affiliations, Audi is doing the same thing now with a study conducted by the firm's history department head Martin Kukowski and University of Chemnitz historian Rudolf Boch. The study is about Audi's predecessor company, Auto Union, which was co-founded by Dr. Richard Bruhn who had strong connections to the Nazi leadership.

The study findings revealed Auto Union exploited a minimum of 20,000 slave laborers and is "morally responsible" for the death of approximately 4,500 inmates. Audi expressed "shock" at the research and they now plan to provide compensations for victims who are still alive. In addition, they will update publicity materials concerning Bruhn..

?Godfather of Ecstacy? dies at 88 | DJ Mag Canada (http://www.djmag.ca/blog/2014/06/03/godfather-ecstacy-dies-88/)

Sasha Shulgin, the man responsible for introducing MDMA to the world, has died at the age of 88. He was said to pass “peacefully, surrounded by friends and family.”

http://djmag_assets.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/shulgin-lab-new-560x373.jpg

During his lifetime, Shulgin synthesized over 200 mind-altering compounds, testing them all of them on himself, but is best known for rediscovering the compound that would eventually grace the rave and club scene.

Originally discovered by German scientists, the compound methylenedioxy-methylamphetamine, or MDMA, was determined to have no useful effects and was shelved. Shulgin revisited the compound and decided to see if it had any effects if taken orally. He was surprised to find that MDMA elicited a powerful empathetic response.

However, Shulgin intended MDMA to be used for therapeutic purposes and has been known to say that he’s disappointed that the drug left doctor’s offices and turned into a recreational drug.

Check out the documentary below for the whole story on the man who made the drug.

Coca-Cola Invents 16 Crazy Caps to Turn Empty Bottles Into Useful Objects | Adweek (http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/coca-cola-invents-16-crazy-caps-turn-empty-bottles-useful-objects-158136)


http://www.adweek.com/files/imagecache/node-blog/blogs/coca-cola-2nd-life-hed-2014.jpg

Rejoice, happy-go-lucky and environmentally conscious Coca-Cola lovers. Thanks to this new "2nd Lives" kit from the brand, you can now transform your Coke into something even more delightful.
Is that just an empty soda bottle? Nope, it's a squirt gun. Useless piece of trash? Nope, it's a pencil sharpener, or the perfect rattle for your baby. Make your children happy. Give them Coca-Cola, and toys made from Coca-Cola. And if you have two empty Coke bottles, you can even make a dumbbell to burn off some of the calories you gained by guzzling both.
Created with the help of Ogilvy & Mather China, the campaign features a line of 16 innovative caps that can be screwed on to bottles when they're empty, transforming them into useful objects like water guns, whistles, paint brushes, bubble makers and pencil sharpeners. It's all part of a clever effort to encourage consumers in Vietnam to recycle, and a rare success at the sort of alchemy that seeks to reincarnate garbage as advertising (even if such attempts are a cornerstone of the marketing industry). Coke will give away 40,000 of these modified caps, which come in 16 different varieties, to start.
It's not clear if the add-ons themselves are made from recycled material. Even if they are, producing more plastic parts might not be the best way to reduce plastic waste.
But that's beside the point. While the caps might not quite hit the sharing chord as clearly as the it-takes-two-to-open bottles, they're a smart bit of advertising. "What if empty Coke bottles were never thrown away?" the campaign asks. Clearly, it would mean people everywhere could finally live in a utopia where everything was made of Coke products.

Lexus is outselling Mercedes in the US, BMW still number 1
Lexus Outsells Mercedes, Keeps Japan in the Race (http://www.carbuzz.com/news/2014/6/9/Lexus-Outsells-Mercedes-Keeps-Japan-in-the-Race-7720779/)

http://www.autoblog.com/2014/06/08/lexus-luxury-sales-race/

Think the only challengers for the title of best-selling luxury brand hail from der Vaterland? Wrong. Lexus outsold the likes of Mercedes-Benz for the second time in 2014 last month. In fact, the Japanese luxury marque's total sales this year are a mere 12,000 units behind BMW.

Lexus was able to move 26,921 vehicles last month, a year-over-year increase of 21.1 percent, respectively. Mercedes, meanwhile, was just barely beaten, moving 26,617 units in April. The difference, though, is that Lexus has made far bigger year-over-year gains than Mercedes, which recorded a YOY increase of just 4.13 percent.

This is particularly troubling for the Germans, as it marks a return to form for Lexus that we haven't seen since before the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that decimated Japan. Prior to that natural disaster, Lexus enjoyed nearly a dozen years at the top of the luxury heap.

What's most interesting, though, is that Lexus has made these strides against Mercedes without moving down market. The German brand has seen a great deal of success with its CLA, a vehicle that Lexus has no real challenger for. But with the Japanese brand bringing both the RC coupe and the NX compact crossover, it's a safe bet that, pending any other natural disasters, Lexus will continue the success of early 2014

I have both TD Gold Elite and MBNA Smart Cash, both has insurance for coverage rental car.

I was in LA last month and was told by AVIS Rental Company that the State of California requires to purchases extra coverage my credit card doesn't cover.

I declined and later I signed saying that I declined etc...

So I am wondering. Was that a BS from the AVIS Rep saying the State of California requires extra coverage that Credit Cards doesn't cover?

Just because a credit card has SOME insurance coverage doesn't mean it's enough. MBNA website sucks. But a quick search on the TD Gold Elite (http://www.tdcanadatrust.com/products-services/banking/credit-cards/view-all-cards/gold-elite.jsp#features-benefits), show that it covers Auto Rental Collision/ Loss Damage; I guess this is similar to ICBC's Collision and comprehensive coverage, but it doesn't specify Third Party Liability which is probably more important. If you have ICBCs Roadstar or Roadside Plus package, this would be sufficient.

Stanley Park Named Top Park in the World (http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2014/06/stanley-park-named-top-park-world/)

Vancouver’s crown jewel Stanley Park has been named the top urban park in the world by Trip Advisor.

Here’s what they have to say about Canada’s most celebrated park:

A mini-forest, beautiful gardens, totem poles and scenic walkways make this such a peaceful location. I made a huge pile of autumn leaves and dove into them like a little kid.

The only other Canadian park to have cracked the top 25 was Montreal’s Mont Royal. Meanwhile, New York City had three impressive parks make the top 25.

Within the top 10 best Canadian urban parks list, four B.C. parks were named in the list, including Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Park and Victoria’s Beacon Hill Park.

With a little tender love and care, Queen Elizabeth Park has the potential to be a great city park, one worthy of such a list. As it stands right now, the park lacks uniformity, maintenance and the amenities of Stanley Park; it is a stark contrast to Queen Elizabeth Park’s pristine condition just 20 years earlier.


Top 25 Parks in the World
Stanley Park, Vancouver, B.C.
Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado
Central Park, New York City, New York
Millennium Park, Chicago, Illinois
High Line, New York City, New York
Kings Park & Botanic Garden, Perth, Australia

Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
Vondelpark, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
South Bank Parklands,Brisbane, Australia
Mont (Mount) Royal, Montreal, Quebec
St. James’s Park, London, United Kingdom

Citigroup's old neighborhood.

Citigroup is shelling out HK$5.42 billion (about $700 million) to build headquarters in Hong Kong. The purchase of the 512,000 square feet (47,566 square meters) twenty-one-story building, to be completed next year, is the largest single-office transaction the city has seen.
+

But Citigroup and the 4,500 employees that will be working from its new HQ may not be getting that much bang for their buck—another example of the city’s extreme property rates. Hong Kong is the second most expensive city in the world to rent office space—after London, which unseated the Chinese city only last year. (Costs in Hong Kong are almost $2,000 per square meter a year, compared to $1,344 per square meter in New York.)
+

This is what Citigroup’s new building, along with another purchased by Manulife, should look like, according to renderings from the developer, Wheelock Properties. Staff should get a nice view of Hong Kong’s Victoria harbor as well as a planned 100-hectare park, a rare glimpse of green in the dense city, and the “auspicious Lei Yue Mun,” the small channel that separates Hong Kong island and Kowloon, Wheelock said.

http://img.qz.com/2014/06/citi-hong-kong-hq.jpg

Citigroup’s building will be far from the traditional financial center of Hong Kong, or its newer reaches in Kowloon—right in the “heart of CBD2,” as the developer explains. CBD2, also known as East Kowloon, is a former manufacturing center that officials and developers have been trying to transform into Hong Kong’s next business district since about 2011, so far with limited success. A government website for CBD2 nails one of the challenges to development: “As old industrial districts, the area is not particularly pleasing visually in terms of greening, open space and pedestrian environment.”
+

The building is about 40 minutes via public transportation from the main business district in Hong Kong, known as Central, where Citibank Plaza, and many of the bank’s executives are now located. One Citigroup employee told Quartz the location will be convenient for staff who live in Kowloon, but it is unlikely the bank’s entire staff would be relocated to East Kowloon anyway.
+

Another downside to the area—Citibank Plaza is within walking distance of dozens of expensive, top shelf, banker-friendly restaurants, including the members-only China Club. In Kowloon East, on the other hand, there’s a slew of local Chinese shops and a Pizza Express

Here’s how parts of the heart of CBD2 look at least for now, before new buildings like Citigroup’s come up:

MacKay defends suggestion women too busy to be judges | News1130 (http://www.news1130.com/2014/06/19/mackay-defends-suggestion-women-too-busy-to-be-judges/)

OTTAWA (NEWS1130) Federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay is defending comments he made last week about why so few women are appointed as judges in Canada.

MacKay was responding to a Toronto Star report Wednesday about an Ontario Bar Association meeting at which he was asked about the lack of women and visible minorities on federally appointed court benches.

MacKay answered the question by saying that women dont apply to be judges because they fear the job will take them away from their children and that children need their mothers more than their fathers, the Star report said.

Rather than back away from the comments Thursday, MacKay reinforced them.

At early childhood, theres no question I think that women have a greater bond with their children, he said.

He went on to say that Canada needs more women to apply for judicial appointments, but then walked away from reporters who asked him about the discrepancy.

As of June 1, 24 of the 81 federally appointed judges in Canada were women just shy of 30 per cent.

Some of MacKays Conservative colleagues appeared uncomfortable with his remarks.

Calgary MP Michelle Rempel said parliamentarians should celebrate women, no matter their career choices including staying at home.

Ontario MP Mike Wallace, who chairs the justice committee, refused to comment on the matter, saying its up to MacKay to defend his own statements.

And Quebec MP Maxime Bernier laughed off MacKays comments, but was quick to point out that he has a special bond with his daughters.

Several men and women who were on hand for the meeting with MacKay described the ministers remarks to the Star as disappointing, frustrating and offensive.

Apparently, a lot of people want Canada Day to be a floating holiday, to ensure there's always a long weekend. Wow. If that's the case, let's move Remembrance Day or Christmas. New Years, that might be a tough one, LOL.

Really? Change something for your convenience? It's our nation's birthday, for crying out loud. Ask an American if it's okay to move 4th of July (Independence Day).

Some people get Monday off, so it now becomes a super long weekend. Those who aren't fortunate enough to be able to do that, suck it up. Whiners.

who's good at math? (it was my weakest point in high school....years upon years ago)


trying to figure out the formula for this, but when it comes to math..i need it to be told to me in a 3rd grade style lol...

so someone help me out here: how many gallons of hypochlorite (5% available chlorine) have to be added to 100 gallons of water to produce a 120mg/L chlorine solution?

lol somebody heeeeellllp!!!! its probably a basic formula...but i suck at math :(

The internet gave me hypochlorite as 1.11g/cm^3, if 5% is chlorine then you get 0.0555g/cm^3 chlorine or 55,500mg/L. 100gal water is 378.541L.

D1V1 = D2V2
(density required) * (volume of water) = (density of chlorine) * (volume of chlorine)
(120mg/L) * (378.541L) = (55,500mg/L) * X
(120mg/L) * (378.541L) / (55,500mg/L) = X ----- Move the chlorine density over
(120) * (378.541L) / (55,500) = X ----- cancel units
0.818467027L = X ----- Sig figs as appropriate, I was never good at that part though.

Pretty sure that's what you need to do. Bear in mind I'm not a chem person, just a bit of a math/logic person so double check the hypochlorite density and water volume conversion (I know there are different gallons).

I think the answer he's looking for is a lot simpler

1L * 120 = 0.0024 L of bleach
50,000

That's for 1 litre of water

Question is the Gallons in your question is it Imperial Gallons or US Gallons?
If its imperial 0.0024 * 454.609 for your answer = 1.09 gallons of hypochlorite
If its US gallons 0.0024 * 378.541 = 0.908 gallons

That's the exact same equation, I just blew it up and added units since he said "grade 3 explanation". Which is good since you fucked up the units I bolded. If you take L of bleach per L of water and multiply by L of water, you get L of bleach, not gallons.

I fucked up too and didn't notice he said he needs gallons of hypochlorite, which makes it easier since you don't need to care which gallons since you can leave the volumes in gallons. Double check the density of hypochlorite you're using though.

D1V1 = D2V2
V2 = D1V1/D2
X = (120mg/L)*(100gal)/(55,500mg/L) ----- cancel units again
X = (120)*(100gal)/(55,500)
X = 0.216[repeating] gal of hypochlorite

Pick a good password that's different from your other ones. Only time I screwed up with paypal was when I had it setup with 2 different bank accounts and I accidentally drew money from an empty bank account, got charged with overdraft from the bank.

As far as buying with paypal, very secure IMO. Paypal tends to side with buyers if there is ever a dispute. Remember, even if paypal doesn't side with you if there's a dispute, you can still call your credit card company and have them reverse the charges

You should be able to find all this online, but you pay right away, you have 45 days to start a dispute if you have any issues, only tie PP to your credit card (not your bank account) since your credit card can be backup in case PP fails you, NEVER EVER EVER pay someone as a "gift" to save them fees, for one it's against PP policy for them to ask you to do that and you are completely fucked if you gift the money and something goes wrong.

Also since I'm assuming you haven't ordered from the US before, if the product will be shipped across the border DO NOT let them ship UPS or you'll have a buttload of fees at your door.

A Wedding That Will Move You: Rowden & Leizel - YouTube

Early this year, Rowden and Leizl decided to get married on July 8, 2014, Rowden's 30th birthday. Together with their adorable 2-year-old daughter, they already had a perfect family. Then a twist of fate, Rowden got diagnosed with stage IV liver cancer in late May. His last request was to marry his one true love. After 12hours of preparations, his dream was fulfilled. Unable to take him outside the hospital, we brought the church to him. It was like a heartbreaking fairytale. Rowden Go, at the age of 29-years-old, passed away on June 11, 2014. Less than 10 hours after he said his vows.

If you're comfortable in it and it is who you are, then totally okay.

If it's making you uncomfortable and you feel you are not yourself, then it needs to go. Just don't look like a slob. Good posture, be alert, and be confident.

T&T / Weston will be fine.. honestly I think they are moving because they want to redevelop the whole mall into something higher density... Would be great for Richmond body shops if they make it like Parker place parking lot!

I think Real are Mainlander newcomers.. it seem to be a battle between old school Taiwanese / HK / Southern China 2nd Geners vs New immigrants with tons of cash.
