1. Ben Says: I have a 2006 Toyota Matrix. It had been taking a while to start. (Motor was turning over a lot before starting. Battery was very strong.) Today I went to start it and battery was dead. Radio and interior lights would go on but not headlights. I had it charging for over a couple hours and I'm getting a really fast clicking now. (like a machine gun) If its something to do with the starter, why was the battery so low this morning? And why has it been turning over so many times before starting? Obviously electrical but anyway to get it started to get to garage or maybe fix myself? If its not too complicated, I'd probably be capable. Anything to not waste money on a tow. car knowledge.
2. joemong Says: is the battery original.4 years old battery .replace it.
3. John Doe Says: Maybe belt or alternator....
4. Matthew Says: if it wont start then maybe replace the spark plug and the cable
5. xTiNa22 Says: maybe distributor?6. Richard D Says: If your starter is turning over the engine and at a normal speed then it is doing its job. If the engine does not start that means it needs a tuneup or something--not the starter.Auto Classifieds. All this cranking probably wore the battery down. the fast clicking means there is not enough juice. Since you seem to be up for somer self-help, see if you can taken apart and clean the terminals and be sure they are not loose. That may well be it and needs to be attended to anyway.

Martin Scorsese's dark 'Shutter Island' surprises and shocks
Movies that depend on turns and twists often leave audiences groaning . Too often, sudden illuminations and revelations feel convenient or rushed , bows tied round a box to keep the whole thing together.
Such is not the case with Martin Scorsese's taut psychological thriller "Shutter Island," a movie that keeps you guessing to the end and then -- miraculously -- makes the guessing pay off .
Working with a stunning ensemble of actors, Scorsese has crafted a work that reeks of classic filmmaking: It takes place in 1954 and looks like it was made in 1954. From its opening shots -- our hero, sick at sea as he approaches a remote island -- the film fairly brims with existential noir anger and angst.
Still, "Shutter Island" is mainly a boy's club affair, with Leonardo DiCaprio holding the camera in nearly every scene. Really funny jokes .He, Kingsley and Ruffalo charge confidently through this film, no easy trick given the audience has little idea who they really are or what they're about. The key is DiCaprio's absolute assurance at all times.
It's the sort of film that's tough to pull off, but Scorsese and company manage the trick beautifully. Tuoboo. This movie will give you shivers.

Discussing Insurance
Joanna Wood is talking to David about the insurance of a product order.
Joanna: Hi, this is Joanna Wood. I'm calling to discuss the level of insurance coverage you requested for your order.
David: I believe that we requested an amount twenty-five percent above the invoice value.
Joanna: Yes, that's right. We have no problem complying with your request flixy blog, but we think that the amount is a bit excessive.
David: Yeah, but in the past, we've really been put in a bind because of damaged goods.
Joanna: I understand your concern. However, usual coverage for goods of this type is the total invoice amount plus only ten percent. Free auto classifieds.
David: We could feel more comfortable, though, with twenty-five percent.
Joanna: Unfortunately, we will have to charge you extra if you want the increase in coverage.
David: But wasn't insurance included in the quote?
Joanna: That quote involved normal coverage. We can, however, arrange the extra coverage. Cell phone reviews. But I suggest you contact your insurance agent there and compare rates.
David: OK. Thanks. I'll check it out. It may turn out to be cheaper on this end.

Singapore: A Model of Judgment for United States
In fact, I'd argue that in many ways Singapore is a great example for the United States. Why? Here are a few reasons:
1. Singapore is a hardworking, disciplined country. It decides what it needs to do, and then does it. Every year for National Day, for example, the government publishes a list of challenges it needs to overcome. The list of challenges is enormously appealing in its clarity and directness.
2. Singapore is obsessed with education — not just for children, but throughout life. The country tops the ranks of educational achievement regularly. While it was once justifiably criticized for emphasizing rote learning, it has introduced programs that encourage creativity.
3. Singapore is a highly capitalist society, but its government plays a strong guiding role. The government creates industrial policy and actively facilitates growth and capability-building in those areas. It did a masterfuljob emphasizing IT and building up that industry, and now it's actively pushing biotech and services.
4. Like the US, Singapore is a highly diverse society, with lots of citizens with Chinese, Malay, Indian, and Arab backgrounds. Yet they all seem to get along pretty well, and the country's culture is greatly enriched by the diversity.
5. Singapore invests heavily in infrastructure — housing, roads, IT, airport. short funny jokes. 83% of its citizens live in public housing, but it's clean and well-maintained. Buses and subways are clean and run on time.
6. Singapore's economy is doing pretty well. It does anticipate a decline in GDP of about 5% this year, but there are signs of a strong recovery. Its stock market is booming. Its banks didn't go crazy with subprime lending or bizarre derivatives
