The dashboard brake sign and the dashboard battery sign sometimes stay on while I drive my 1991 Toyota Pickup. Eventually, sometimes they go away which is really weird, but was wondering how to fix this problem. I just got a new battery around 10 months ago, so the battery is not dead and the emergency brake sign just doesn’t disappear when I release it. They are located next to each other on the dash. Hope all that info helps, it is extremely annoying to have them on while driving.
Means you need an alternator. Older Japanese and Korean cars lit up the brake warning light too for some reason.
Actually I am now doing a history project and I have done A lots of Research on it on wikipedia and all… but have not found the answer, that the disaster incident of Pearl-Harbor (US) and after that more pathetic reply the incident of Hiroshima-Nagasaki have not impacted the modern relationship of two great nations?
And if effected then how…?
(It’s my question about my important history project so please answer compactly and nicely)
Thanks…:)
The post-WWII US-Japan relationship got very strong due to these reasons:
1. The US helped Japan rebuild the country and due to American influence, Japan became very "Americanized" (think why baseball is so popular in Japan) and capitalist in a region that was experiencing communist influence (for example China, North Korea, Vietnam). During the Cold War, the US wanted to do all it can to prevent communist expansion, and the three capitalist countries Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, were America’s "best friends" in Asia.
2. Japan and the US have a very close economic relationship.
3. At present, the rise of China and the insecurity of North Korea have made the Japan-US relationship even stronger.
Ultimately, Japan look up to the US as their "elder brother", while the same can be said of the US viewing Japan as a "sibling". In other words, whatever America does, Japan does. When America tries to get countries like China, Russia and France to do something, they tell America to f**k off and mind their own business, but Japan will always follow America - whether its politics, culturally, the latest fashion, the latest technology or the next American "cool thing".
Generally speaking, there have been tensions between the Japan-US relationship due to Japan’s successful economy from the 1960s - 1990s. There was a lot of anti-Japanese sentiment in the US when Japan’s economy started dominating the US and the public started boycotting companies like Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and Mitsubishi. However, since the decline of Japan’s economy in the 2000s, the tension has died down a bit.
I don’t think historical incidents like Pearl Harbor and the atomic bombings have affected the relationship at all. The reason is because Japan recovered very quickly after the war and so WWII was quickly forgotten. If Japan had lingered on in economic hardship after WWII, then the memories of the atomic bombings might still have an effect. But Japan and the US have never been at loggerheads since WWII, so the friendship has only got stronger politically, socially, economically and militarily. With the rise of China, and the US losing a lot of "friends" during the 2000s, I can only see the friendship strengthening.
I love the name katrina, and my husband likes it, but also associates it with the hurricane (he used to live on the gulf coast but moved a couple years before the hurricane hit). Does anyone else automatically think of the same thing?
I sure hope not. It’s a nice name. As someone else mentioned, by the time your child is in school (aka: at the teasing age), the hurricane will have been 10 years ago and most of the kids her age won’t even think of it. Yes, the effects are still with us and should never be forgotten, but I don’t think it’s good cause to "kill" a name, especially since the name was chosen basically at random by the National Weather Service. It’s not like the storm was named after the person who designed the faulty levees.
I’ve had the bldg fire alarm go off 4 times accidentally this weekend. Tried to get the animals all ready to go as quickly as possible just in case. Found it very difficult to catch them when they are scared. Any tips would be great. Also any tips for their rescue if they are alone and a fire breaks out. Thanks.
Have the cats go to a cage that you can carry. The dog should go to a cage too, but close the door so the dog can’t go in, because he or she might not come out willingly if they see the cage as the safe place. He or she should stand by the cage, then you leash him or her. The turtle depends on if it’s aquatic or land. If it’s land, have a critter keeper (plastic container with slots for water bottle and holes for air) handy, put turtle in, throw it in cage with cats. If it’s aquatic, have a plastic tub just big enough for the turtle that you can cover tightly, put turtle in it, and use a pitcher to add water from aquarium to tub. Carry the cat cage in one arm and hook dog leash around other elbow. You then have a hand free to open doors, etc.
If you haven’t already gotten the dog and cats used to going to the cage when you order it, that is the place to start. Use treats and do it at least four times a day until they get the idea. Believe it or not, even our cat will go in the cage on command. My husband and I are volunteer firefighters, so our four dogs and the cat have to be put in their cages quickly too. We always cage them when we’re out of the house. Hubby did a great job teaching them to go in their cages, and since he has been deployed, I’ve been teaching them the importance of "Cage!" when the fire siren sounds or our tones go off on the radio. They are used to the sound now, and "Cage!" while the siren sounds, paired with jumping up (using body language) makes them scoot with more energy and speed than a normal "Cage!" command.
The next step is to have your own "fire drill". I put a link below to the sound of a fire alarm. You could play it loud on your computer to get the animals used to the noise, so they won’t be scared. Once they will go to the cage reliably, use the sound of the alarm, then your command to go to the cage.
This is the hardest part. You have to stay calm yourself. Try to not communicate anxiety through your body language or the sound of your voice. Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, stresses the importance of communicating with energy. I posted a link also to where you should start on his website. Be really calm while teaching them to go to the cage, then once they get used to that, stay calm while using the alarm sound with cage, then once that is mastered, communicate excitement without fear to encourage a quicker response.
You can get stickers that notify firefighters that there are pets in the apartment. This link is also below.
Do you have a neighbor who could help you carry or lead the animals? It’s so great that you’re thinking this out in advance. It may save your life in addition to your pets’ lives.
We moved out 4 months ago and we’ve been wondering why he didn’t send us our deposit. We were getting ready to file charges and today we get a $4000 bill most of which was renovations to help his house sell. Does anyone have any suggestions? My 1st question is: is 4 months too long to wait and my 2nd question is: how do we fight stuff like renovations that we don’t agree with? Thanks.
State of Oklahoma
Landlords only get 14-45 days depending on state to refund a deposit or send a final accounting. 4 months is completely uncalled for in any state!
They have lost any right to collect that money even if you did legitimately cause any damages. They have waited far too long to collect. Landlords lose all rights to the deposit when they do not follow this law. You need to sue them for full refund of your deposit.
EDIT: For some people’s education: Even with no lease on a verbal month to month agreement the landlord is bound by general law. Every state has a law on how long a landlord has to refund the deposit after the tenants vacate. A lease is NOT needed in order to dispute a landlord not returning the deposit.
like maylene and The Sons of Disaster and early The Showdown?

I plan on outlining things I need to do with my life. One of them is establishing emergency funding. A while ago, my uncle told me to do so, but I’m just now becoming capable of starting this. I am not in debt and I have good credit, if that matters. I just want to have back up funding just in case I need it.
You need to have 8 to 12 months of living expenses in you emergency account. Car, rent, food etc. I think this is great that you want to do this.Good luck to you.
It is for a project due on the 7th of December 09. So if you know answer really soon.
Search in en.wikipedia.org
