Andy? Yahoo spying on group members with Web Beacons?? January 07, 2009, 07:50:05 pm Yahoo Message Number: 98406Andy, this came up in another Yahoo group. Is it a valid concern?
Re: Andy? Yahoo spying on group members with Web Beacons?? Reply #1 – January 07, 2009, 08:04:26 pm Yahoo Message Number: 98407I'm sure Andy will speak up here, but here's a message from the Moderators Group, posted a few days ago. Even though Yahoo's policy hasn't changed in more than 8 years, the "web beacon issue" comes up periodically (and it appears to be happening again). This page, which we posted more than a year ago when this issue last flared up, is still the best summary of web beacons and Yahoo! Groups: http://tinyurl.com/beaconsandgroups This seems to pop up every 6 months or so I personally have web beacons turned off, but this site will give you a bit of info.Katehttp://cholulared.blogspot.com &http://www.cholulared.comWant to find us?

Re: 2003 Seats... convert to heated... Reply #7 – May 17, 2009, 01:17:05 pm Yahoo Message Number: 102380Heated seats inserts are available.on-line (e.g. google seat heaters for cars). http://www.heatedseatkits.com/heatedseatkits/index.htmlis just one example. This sort of kit usually requires at least partial removal of the seat covering to get the pads into position.bumper
Re: 2003 Seats... convert to heated... Reply #8 – May 17, 2009, 03:11:58 pm Yahoo Message Number: 102387I have installed these exact seat heaters in both my cars, I did the wiring myself and had a local upholstry guy put the pads under the seat material. I used the following site for a instructions, http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/f93/how-install-seat-heaters-16234/ I love them, but purposely didn't bother with them in my motorhome, since I usually don't drive it for short distances in the winter, that's where the seat heaters are at their best, for the few minutes before the vehicle heater really gets cranking. The seat heater starts noticeably warming in a minute or two with cloth seats. Of course, if there are two of you, and you can't agree on a comfy temperature, the colder one can turn on their seat heater from time to time. Your butt and back will get pretty hot after 15-30 minutes or so.Ed
Re: 2003 Seats... convert to heated... Reply #9 – May 18, 2009, 11:55:41 am Yahoo Message Number: 102423Ed, Just a comment about my intended use. We frequently drive ~6 hrs from Eureka to Sacramento, I run heated seats on LOW for most of the trip year round. When I get out I'm a lot more limber and less fatigued. Yes we stop every couple of hours but the long-distance heat is very useful. That is my intended use.Ken_____
