4 Steps to Fix That Pesky Car Radio Antenna

March 30, 2012 4:45 PM Text Size: A . A . A Electric-powered, self-extending antenna masts used to be a telltale sign of a fancy, feature-laden car. As is the case with many electromechanical parts, however, power antennas usually end up requiring repair. Run through a carwash with one extended and you'll have what looks like a bent hanger sticking out of the fender. Today, power antenna masts have been replaced with fixed antennas or wires embedded in windshields, but there are still plenty of cars out there with these telescoping menaces. Broken antennas get stuck all the way up, all the way down, or often somewhere in between. The shabby appearance of, and stunted radio reception on, an otherwise perfectly good car means that replacing or repairing an antenna is a worthwhile fix.

It's almost too bad these have gone out of style; they are actually pretty elegant in a Rube Goldberg kind of way. An electric motor hidden below the fender turns nylon gears that eventually mesh with a toothed nylon rope matching the gears. That rope extends all the way through the hollow antenna sections and mounts to the tip. As the motor turns the gears, the rigid rope is pushed or pulled and the mast advances or retracts, stopping based on either a digital counter or timer or on a measured spike in voltage when the motor can't turn anymore.

As you might imagine, there are several ways these antennas malfunction. The most prevalent is a bent mast?even slight tweaks to the tight-fitting telescoping tubes can cause havoc. The nylon bits are a problem, too; teeth from the gears or rope break off from wear or cold or the rope snaps along the length. Sometimes the antenna fails when the components just plain get dirty?rain and dust infiltrate the mechanism, and things grind to a halt. Below we're going to walk through the general steps of removing the whole assembly, taking it apart, then cleaning and replacing the problem parts.

Church: We support long term same-sex relationships ? but not marriage (yet)

The Anglican Church?s bench of Bishops -?the whole body of English prelates assembled in council ? have stated their current stance on same-sex unions.?It said it: ?Abides by the Christian doctrine of marriage as the union of one man with one woman freely entered into for life. Acknowledges that whilst issues of human sexuality are not resolved, there are couples living in other life-long committed relationships who deserve the welcome, pastoral care and support of the Church.

It is also: ?Committed to further listening, prayerful reflection and discernment regarding same-sex relationships.?

The stance was reiterated in the light of the resignation of Monmouth priest Andrew Morton?s public resignation over the church?s stance on same sex marriage.

In an interview with the BBC, the?Reverend?Morton said: ?First of all I felt that the church?s position on same-sex relationships, never mind same-sex marriages, was increasingly judgemental and not really inclusive.

?I feel a greater degree of homophobia in the church than I?ve felt for a long time.

?I felt in order to offer an authentic critique of the church as an institution, the most honourable thing was to do it from the outside rather than from the inside.?

The Church in Wales is understood still to be?debating?the issue.

Savage Love: Same Sex, Different Age Relationships - Washington ...

I am the father of a recently out 18-year-old gay boy. Here?s the problem: My son is in a relationship with a 31-year-old guy. I?m not okay with that. Yes, my son is a legal adult at 18 and can make his own decisions, but he?s also still in high school. His mother argues that in order to be supportive, we can?t object to this relationship. I don?t think this is a gay versus straight objection. If I had an 18-year-old heterosexual daughter who was in a relationship with a 31-year-old man, I would have exactly the same concerns and objections. Beyond that, even if I can establish that it?s OK to have an objection, or to feel the need to take some action to be supportive for my son, I don?t know what I can or should do. What say you, oh wise one? ?One Concerned Dad

Your wife is wrong.

Homophobic parents are bad for gay kids. But ?supportive? parents who let their gay kids get away with murder?supportive parents who stop parenting their gay kids because they worry about seeming homophobic if they object to lousy gay boyfriends, choices, apparel, etc.?aren?t doing their gay kids any favors, either. Your son, despite what he might tell you, needs his parents to advise him, meddle in his affairs, even object and interfere.

Here?s what I would do if I were in your shoes, OCD?I would take my son?s 31-year-old boyfriend out for a beer and ask him a lot of pointed questions: How did you meet my son? Are you having sex with my son? Are you using condoms? What is your HIV status? How old was your last boyfriend? And, finally, do you realize that I will tear you gay limb from gay limb if you hurt my gay kid?

As for your son, OCD, tell him that you realize gay guys his age sometimes date older men because there aren?t a lot of boys his own age to choose from. (If you didn?t already know that, now you do.) And tell your son that this gay dude you know?that would be me, OCD?told you that something?s usually wrong when a 31-year-old is dating a teenager. Something?s usually wrong with the 31-year-old. There are exceptions, of course, and maybe his boyfriend is exceptional?maybe he?s not a jerk who pursues naive boys because gay men his own age can see through his shit?but the simple fact of his age requires that he be subjected to a higher degree of scrutiny than a first boyfriend who was closer to your son?s own age.

Finally, OCD, tell your son that you know he?s an adult and free to date whomever he wants. But you?re his dad and he has to hear you out?whether he wants to or not. ?Dan

I?m 16 and an openly gay boy in a very welcoming community. My first boyfriend and I broke up recently. We?ll be friends again, I?m sure, but now I don?t even have a hint of any sort of anything on the horizon, and it?s driving me insane. All the out gay guys here are nice, but most are sassy stereotypical caricature flamer types and I?m not attracted to any of them. But those are the kind of people who are out at 16. I just hate thinking I?m alone for the foreseeable future. I know the logical thing is for me to wait, but how am I supposed to wait? Is there any alternative? ?Whiny Angsty Sad Teen Entreats Dan

Sorry, WASTED, but you?re gonna get the same advice I give to hard and hard-up 16-year-old straight boys: Worry less about getting your 16-year-old self laid and more about getting your 20-year-old self laid. Get out of the house and do shit, get books and read shit, volunteer for a political organization and change shit. You?ll have more boys to choose from in a few years and you?ll be a more interesting, more informed, more attractive guy thanks to all that doing, reading, and volunteering. Beat off in the interim, WASTED, remembering to vary your masturbatory routine (left hand, right hand; firm grip, soft touch; with toys, without; lots of lube, just a drop; etc.), and try to cultivate your own erotic imagination (translation: Don?t jerk off to internet porn exclusively; use your imagination once in a while).

I?m not telling you that you should wait until you?re 20 to date. But you?ll find the next few years less aggravating if you take the long view and keep busy, all the while jerking it to your part?s content. And who knows? You might meet a nice boy while you?re out there doing shit.

As for those ?sassy stereotypical caricature flamer types,? WASTED?

SSCFTs can be attractive, and some guys are into SSCFTs. But some boys react to the pressures of being young, gay, and out by dialing it up to 20. It?s a force field?it?s a fierce field?that many SSCFTs eventually drop. Which is to say: You may have already met your next boyfriend, WASTED, but his fierce field was up. You might want to give ?em a little time. ?Dan

My 13-year-old nephew, who is straight, was in a play last year. It was a very positive experience. The only problem is one of the theater group?s fans, who is 50 and gay, befriended my sister and seems to be fixated on my nephew: He posts to my nephew?s Facebook page, he?s constantly asking my sister to allow my nephew to spend the night at his apartment, etc. I would like you to weigh in on this situation, Dan. Other family members share my suspicions, but we?re afraid to say anything to my sister because she has a temper. Should I go ahead and tell my sister and brother-in-law that I think the guy is attracted to my nephew? ?A Worried Aunt

Thanksgiving, 2019: ?I?m so sorry you got raped when you were 13. I thought something was off about that guy. But I didn?t say anything at the time because I was afraid your mom would yell at me. So, um, pass the yams??

Unless you?re looking forward to making an apology like that after your nephew confronts his whole family for failing to protect him when he was a child, AWA, you should speak the fuck up. Talk to your sister, temper be damned, and talk to your nephew, too. Your sister could be colorblind in addition to being an angerbomb?prone to rages and incapable of seeing red flags?and it?s possible that your nephew already told his mother that this man makes him uncomfortable and got yelled at himself.

Firmly raise your concerns, AWA, but don?t make accusations. You may not have all the information. It?s possible that this man has no sexual interest in your nephew. It?s also possible that your nephew is gay, recently came out to his mother and father but wasn?t ready to come out to his extended family, and this man is mentoring your nephew at your sister?s request. But even so, fiftysomething gay men do not invite 13-year-old boys to sleepovers for the same reason fiftysomething straight men don?t invite 13-year-old girls to sleepovers: Suspicions will be aroused, even if nothing else is. In my opinion, the invite itself is a mentor-disqualifying display of piss-poor judgment.

Speak up, AWA. ?Dan Savage

'Smash' Star Megan Hilty Lands Record Deal

Singer/actress will join co-star Katharine McPhee on Sony imprint Masterworks.

"Smash" has been renewed up for a second season, and now one of its stars has landed a record deal.

Megan Hilty is joining "Smash" co-star Katharine McPhee on Sony imprint Masterworks, also home to Wilson Phillips and Kristin Chenoweth. The Hollywood Reporter noted that while no release date has been set for Hilty's first album, she is currently working on demos.

Hilty told MTV News last month that she would love to pattern her career after now-labelmate Chenoweth, who has transitioned from Broadway sensation to actress and singer. "I look at the people's careers who I want to emulate, like Audra McDonald, Kristin Chenoweth, Bernadette Peters," Hilty said. "They've all found the key to longevity in this business, and that is diversifying, doing as many things as possible to keep yourself relevant, and so hopefully I'm on the same track as all those amazing women."

While these days she's burning up the small screen, Hilty has put in plenty of work on the stage as well, acting in "Wicked" (like Chenoweth) and "9 to 5." Before landing a lead role on "Smash," Hilty appeared on "Desperate Housewives," "Ugly Betty" and the Disney series "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."

"It was something that I never really thought was possible," Hilty said of her starring role on the show, which also includes Anjelica Huston and Debra Messing. "I always thought Broadway's the goal, and then I moved out to L.A. with 'Wicked' and started doing guest-star spots and little recurring things, and I was like, 'Well, this is pretty great, I'm kind of digging this.' "

List Building Can Help Your Business Thrive | 2in1 Cards

List building has never been a favorite activity for many online business owners, but most marketers realize the importance of this responsibility and perform the tasks that are needed. Increased web site traffic depends on the efforts of the online professional and the resources that are at his/her disposal. Many web site owners outsource list building instead of tackling the chore themselves, but a substantial number of marketers are now embracing the process. In recent years, various software programs and new ideas have entered the internet community with the promise of making the task of list building a simpler endeavor. With the help of these packages, more and more marketers are embracing the task of list building and accepting that the days of unpleasant list building done manually may be over. These new, bold ideas are rapidly gaining acceptance.

Online business marketers often buy targeted traffic as a way to generate a sizable list. Today?s marketing culture has spawned more new ideas than ever in the area of simplifying list building. eBay is generally accepted as being the most popular online auction site and savvy web site owners have begun to tap the list building potential that it possesses. By offering low cost auctions, mostly for a few pennies or even less, a business professional can rapidly expand the email list by offering a service that eventually leads to the main sales site. eBay may be the leader, but you can use the same strategy in other sites like Ubid and Yahoo!

Another way that Internet marketers are sharpening up on their list building skills would be through joint ventures. An Internet marketer could watch his or her mailing list double, triple, or multiply by so much just by teaming up with someone who has extensive mailing lists and a large budget. Partners can trade or share lists and this allows each entity to acquire larger lists for future projects. If you?re new in the online marketing business, you may want to consider a joint venture, as this could lead you to an active and ready-to-use list with a lot of addresses in it.

List building is, in most cases, the number one factor in determining whether a business would be successful profit-wise and in terms of Internet traffic. Stay tuned for more tips on how to build an expansive online mailing list.

Shares in retreat as growth worries revive

LONDON (Reuters) - The euro dipped to just below recent highs and European stocks fell on Tuesday amid concern about the scale of China's growth slowdown, while investors eyed crucial talks between Italy's government and unions on labor reforms.

U.S. stock index futures also pointed to a weaker start on Wall street ahead of new data on the housing market, and after the S&P 500 <.spx> advanced for a third straight session to within 10 percent of its all-time closing high.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti is meeting union bosses in Rome to reach a deal on reforming labor laws, seen as crucial to government efforts to revive the debt-laden economy in which factory output has fallen sharply.

Before the meeting, equity investors were trimming positions for a second day after a rally to an eight-month peak last week on signs of a recovery in the giant U.S. economy and after big improvements in corporate balance sheets.

U.S. data on new building permits and housing starts could give the market a fresh boost if it shows signs of a recovery.

"Strategically, I am bullish on equities," said Neil Dwane, chief investment officer for Europe at Allianz Global Investors/RCM. "The thing is that they have rallied quite a long way, so it's harder to be as confident when you think: have we solved any of the economic issues?"

The FTSE Eurofirst 300 <.fteu3> was down one percent at 1,094.40 points after snapping a four-session winning streak on Monday that saw it touch levels last seen in July.

Traders' growing nervousness about the outlook could be seen in the Euro STOXX 50 volatility index <.v2tx>, a key gauge of sentiment, which jumped 9.1 percent after three days of falls. The higher the volatility index, the lower the investor appetite to take on more risk.

RECOVERY HOPES IN THE BALANCE

Meanwhile U.S. Treasury yields, which have risen sharply in the past week on the improved U.S. economic outlook and reduced expectations of further monetary easing in the near term, also dipped on Tuesday but the fall was expected to be short lived.

"I think that movement (in U.S. Treasury yields)...is definitely a confirmation that the market is switching much more in terms of its mentality towards a recovery mentality," Graham Neilson, chief investment strategist at Cairn Capital, said.

"I think yields are going to go higher from here as well."

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, which moves inversely to price, stood at 2.35 percent after rising as high as 2.392 percent on Monday, its highest level since late October.

Higher Treasury yields and concerns over the impact of China's economic slowdown on the world economy have helped lift the dollar against a basket of currencies. The dollar index <.dxy> was up 0.4 percent to 79.77 <.dxy>.

The euro dipped 0.35 percent to just under $1.32, over half a cent below one-week highs.

U.S. Treasury bond yields: http://link.reuters.com/cuq27s

Italy industrial orders: http://link.reuters.com/keq27s

China's industrial output: http://link.reuters.com/bam96s

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^>

German government bond yields followed Treasuries and dipped slightly as investors were lured back into the market after 10-year yields broke last week above 2 percent, the upper end of the year's trading range to that point.

Among the weaker euro zone economies, Italian bonds rose on wariness about the labor talks, and 10-year yields were last up 4.2 basis points at 4.88 percent.

The equivalent Spanish yield was up 5 basis points at 5.22 percent after ratings agency Moody's said Spain's fiscal outlook remained challenging despite recently softened deficit targets.

Commodities were broadly weaker, with base and precious metals both edging down after the worries about a sharp slowdown in China grew when BHP Billiton , the world's biggest miner, noted signs of "flattening" iron ore demand there.

Earlier this month China cut its 2012 growth target to an eight-year low of 7.5 percent, fuelling caution about demand for natural resources and heightening fears the euro zone crisis would hit global growth.

Brent crude fell towards $124 a barrel on Tuesday as signs of increased supply from Saudi Arabia and a return to pre-war exports from Libya added to the selling pressure on the market.

Gold lost about 0.6 percent on the day to $1,649.24 an ounce, snapping a three-session advance.

Wis. town longs for relief from mysterious booms

(AP Photo/Carrie Antlfinger)

CLINTONVILLE, Wis. (AP) ? Sleepless families in a small Wisconsin town longed for quiet Wednesday after mysterious booming noises over the past few nights roused them from bed and sent residents into the street ? sometimes still in pajamas.

The strange disturbance sounds like distant thunder, fireworks or someone slamming a heavy door. At first, many people were amused or merely curious. But after three restless nights, aggravation is mounting. And some folks are considering leaving town until investigators determine the source of the racket.

"My husband thought it was cool, but I don't think so. This is not a joke," said Jolene Van Beek, who awoke early Sunday to a loud boom that shook her house. "I don't know what it is, but I just want it to stop."

The booming in Clintonville continued Monday and Tuesday nights and into Wednesday morning, eventually prompting Van Beek to take her three sons to her father's home, 10 minutes away, so they could get some uninterrupted sleep.

There have been no reports of injury or damage, despite some residents saying they could feel the ground roll beneath their feet.

City officials say they have investigated every possible human cause. They checked water, sewer and gas lines, contacted the military about any exercises in the area, reviewed permits for mining explosives and inspected a dam next to city hall. They even tested methane levels at the landfill in case the gas was spontaneously exploding.

"People in the area are certainly frustrated," City Administrator Lisa Kuss said.

The city is also investigating geological causes. Officials plan to bring in vibration-detection devices to try to determine the epicenter of any underground activity.

Authorities set up audio and video equipment overnight but didn't capture any evidence of shaking or booming despite at least one loud noise about 5 a.m. Wednesday, Kuss said.

A public meeting was scheduled later in the day to update residents on the situation.

Debby Ernst, a gas station cashier, has not heard the sound or felt the tremors but said she is still considering going elsewhere until the mystery is solved.

"It worries me. I'm scared," she said in a phone interview. "Who's to say it ain't going to get worse?"

However, a local scientist said nothing has surfaced that suggests townspeople should be afraid.

Steve Dutch, a geologist at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, said the ground beneath them is solid, and that there are no known earthquake fault lines in the area.

Dutch said he heard some people worrying that a sinkhole might open up and swallow homes. That can happen in areas where the ground is rich with limestone and other low-density rocks that can be dissolved by water, he said. But the rock below Clintonville is mainly solid granite that's largely impermeable.

However, he speculated that water and granite could hold the key to the mystery. Granite has small cracks that water can fill, but if the underground water table falls especially low, water can seep out, leaving gaps that cause the rocks to settle and generate loud noises.

"Maybe the very dry winter caused more water to be removed from the water table, either through pumping or natural flow," he said.

A seismic station near Clintonville, a town of about 4,600 people about 40 miles west of Green Bay, has recorded unusual ground shaking since Sunday night. Scientists say such activity can be caused by mining and heavy truck traffic, but since there are no mines or major construction in the area, the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey will take a closer look at the data.

Some residents are having fun with the mystery, which has drawn media attention from around the nation.

Jordan Pfeiler said people stayed up late on the first two nights to walk around listening for booms. They came up with outlandish theories to explain the noise ? for example, that the White House was building an underground bunker in the area or that mole men had found a home there.

"And the aliens, of course, there's always the aliens," she said.

Van Beek understands the temptation to crack jokes, but it's no laughing matter to her.

"Everything people think it is has been ruled out. They just don't have answers," she said. "At this point all I want is for it to stop."

Volunteering abroad and Relationships | Element Bee - lbtabtka&#39;s ...

Distance doesn?t matter should you absolutely love the individual, what issues many is your honesty and trust for that relationship to work out ? Trish. The second global christmas celebrated after New Annum is Valentines Week. History has it that Valentines Week came from St. Valentine a priest who lived around 270 AD in Rome and he attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor Claudius II who ruled during this time. He believed that wedding made the males weak. So he issued an edict forbidding wedding to assure standard soldiers. Although it was forbidden, St. Valentine being a bishop, held information wedding ceremonies of soldiers and young males. This was in opposition to Claudius II who had prohibited it leading to his execution. Before St. Valentine was executed he wrote a letter to a daughter of his jailer with whom he had a deep friendship. In his letter he signed: from your valentine. When a volunteer goes abroad for a while it signifies they is supposed to be cut off from their loved ones for a period of time placing a strain on their relationship. Or when they are abroad they can fall in love with one of the regional persons and after their work is conducted must leave. The volunteers is supposed to be forced into a long distant relationship. Here are a few of tips to assist your affairs survive when you are abroad:

Agree

The volunteer and their partner must sit down and speak about the coming adventure. They include a meeting and define their affairs. They must define if they really include fun, if they are serious and if they are willing to go to the upcoming level to engagements or wedding. For those who are absolutely involved or wedded must discuss the effect of the long distance may include on their wedding. One of the strains of the affairs is supposed to be lack of intimacy, no hugging or kissing or bodily contact. Being miles away from one another substances the difficulties which they can be having while they are together. Also while they are away they must vow to remain faithful to one another during the length of the volunteer abroad work.

Schedule communications

Due to technologies the world has been created small and small. There are countless ways to remain in touch with one another. The various ways of communications are through, calls, web calls, text messages plus the utilization of friendly volunteer in nicaragua media (facebook and twitter). These are awesome ways to communicate and they are furthermore largely inexpensive. In a relationship, standard and amount correspondence is important and it should be frequent. Written correspondence must be intimate and extensive to grant the additional partner a suitable picture of what the additional is feeling. Although there can be nothing hot to speak about really staying on the line while hearing the additional person inhale does wonders. Due to the various time zones that the volunteers and partners are in they must schedule when to speak. They can speak once a week, three instances a week or once a week, subject to the plans.
