5 Scams Making Suckers Out of Homeowners
BOSTON ( MainStreet) -- Today's bad economy and worse housing market are combining to create a field day for scam artists, who find easy pickings among homeowners desperate to avoid foreclosure or just save a few bucks.
"Any time that the economy is bad, scammers come out of the woodwork," says Katherine Hutt of the Better Business Bureau, which logs some 1.2 million complaints a year about scams and bad company practices in general.
Scam artists seem to especially target senior citizens.
"Many of the elderly were raised in a different time, when people were more honest than they are today," says Polyana da Costa of consumer-financial Web site Bankrate.com. "You also didn't have the Internet, which is where many of these scams originate. You go online looking for a better mortgage rate or some sort of foreclosure rescue and you end up in the wrong hands." Here's a look at common housing-related scams that da Costa and other experts warn consumers should avoid: Loan-modification scamsThis scam targets people facing foreclosure, with fraudsters promising to negotiate a loan modification for them in exchange for big upfront fees. Lenders do approve such modifications these days, but the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development prohibits legitimate foreclosure-prevention counselors from charging advance fees to help you negotiate one. "If I can get one message across to borrowers, it's: 'Do not pay any upfront fees,'" da Costa says. "I've heard of so many people who've paid $5,000 to get a loan modification but who basically got nothing -- and didn't find out until months later when they lost their homes." Don't be fooled by loan modification specialists who advertise their services, have big offices or operate Web sites with official-sounding names based on real government foreclosure-prevention programs. "Scammers don't look like scammers, they look professional," da Costa says. "That's how they fool you."

Brown widows creeping into south Louisiana
Published: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 11:43 p.m.
A breed of poisonous invasive spiders are on the march across Louisiana and have already been sighted in Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, according to local Louisiana State University AgCenter officials.
Generally found in tropical areas, the brown widow spider is closely related to the black widow spider.
Widow spider venom is a powerful neurotoxin. Its bite may not initially be noticed but will soon become very painful.
Symptoms of a widow bite include headache, tiredness, excessive sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, muscle cramps and rigidness in the abdomen and legs.
Elderly residents, children and people with compromised immune systems are more at-risk from a brown widow bite.
Symptoms of a brown widow bite tend to be more localized to the bite site. Study has shown that the venom of a brown widow may be much stronger than a black widow, but the brown widow is less likely to inject a large amount of venom.
Very few of the 3,500 species of spiders found in North America have bites that are considered dangerous to humans, according to the New Orleans Mosquito Control Board. Most are too small and produce a venom that is too weak to harm people.
Historically there have only been two species of spider in Louisiana that were dangerous to humans, the brown recluse and the black widow.
But in recent years, the brown widow spider has begun popping up in south Louisiana.
The brown widow is a tropical spider whose populations were historically limited to Florida within the United States.
Michael Massimi, an invasive species expert with the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program, said that mild winters in recent years may have helped their spread.
Kyle Moppert, medical entymologist with the state Department of Health and Hospitals, said sightings of the spider began to increase in the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The LSU AgCenter sent out warnings to residents about increases in the spiders' population in the state in 2007.
Barton Joffrion, an agent with the LSU AgCenter, said local residents have been reporting sightings of the brown widow for the last decade.
The spiders were likely brought in through interstate shipping or transportation, Joffrion added.
The spider ranges in color from gray or tan to dark brown and may reach 1 inch to 1½ inches long. Like its better-known black widow cousin, the brown widow spider has an orange hourglass marking on its belly.
Its body is often brightly colored, Moppert said, with patterns on the top of the abdomen in brown, white, black and orange and often has dark bands on its legs.
The spider weaves loose webbing and its distinctive eggs look like white balls with spikes.
The spiders are shy and are unlikely to bite unless provoked, Moppert said.
The brown widow spider is most often found in areas that haven't been disturbed, such as brush piles, wood piles and areas where debris has accumulated. They also can show up in crawl spaces, under chairs and flower pots, eaves and porch railings.
"They like to nest in windows and in the handles of trash cans," Moppert said. "Their bite is as bad as a black widow, but they will jump and run away because they're shy."
The best way to avoid an encounter with the spiders is to remove areas where they may nest, Massimi said. Pick up clutter and seal cracks and crevices around windows.
"Clutter is a big attraction," Massimi said. "They would probably love a messy old shed."
If bitten by what you think is a brown widow spider, you should seek medical attention immediately. To help medical responders, if possible you should safely trap the spider that bit you for identification.

text: Indianapolis Colts player arrested on firearms chargeBy Pamela Brown. Carol Cratty and Greg Botelho, CNNUpdated 12:42 PM ET, Sun June 30, 2013Just WatchedIndianapolis Colts player arrested in DCreplayMore Videos ...Indianapolis Colts player arrested in DC 02:07Story highlights Police saw a man standing up in the convertible, charging papers say Joe Lefeged's gun was found in a car he'd been in, which police say is against D.C. law He fled but was arrested without incident, police say; his lawyer says he was in the carJudge finds probable cause to hold the NFL player at least until TuesdayPolice arrested Indianapolis Colts safety Joe Lefeged early Saturday after allegedly finding his semiautomatic pistol poking out from under the passenger seat of the white Camaro he'd been in, police said.The Chevrolet sports car got police's attention shortly after midnight because it was being driven erratically, Metropolitan Police Department spokesman Araz Alali told CNN. According to charging papers filed in D.C. Superior Court, police spotted one of its passengers standing up in the backseat of the convertible. On the street, plainclothes officers repeatedly asked the Camaro's driver to put the car in the park. Instead, according to the charging papers, he put his foot on the gas and sped away.Four officers eventually found the Camaro, its still unidentified driver having fled on foot.They also saw one man, later identified as Lefeged, running in one direction and the man who'd been standing up in the Camaro, later identified as 23-year-old Aaron Timothy Wilson, going another way.Both men were arrested, about four miles east of the Capitol, without incident, according to Alali. Lefeged's public defender, Martina King, gave a different take, saying her client was sitting in the Camaro's passenger seat, not on foot, when he was arrested. Police at the scene searching the vehicle found a clear bottle in the center console that smelled of alcohol and a black H&K .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol "in plain view sticking out from underneath the front passenger seat."Investigators determined that Lefeged paid $900 for the gun, which he took possession of in late May, according to the charging papers.King, the public defender, contended the gun in question is registered to Lefeged and, since it was under his seat, was out of his reach.But Judge Anne O'Regan Keary disagreed, saying that the firearm was in Lefeged's reach if it was under his seat. Keary ruled that there was probable cause to continue detaining him at least until his next hearing Tuesday morning.According to Alali, Lefeged and Wilson were both arrested on suspicion of carrying a firearm without a license, having an unregistered firearm, having unregistered ammunition, presence of a firearm in a motor vehicle and possession of an open container of alcohol. For the time being, at least, Lefeged is facing only two charges: presence of a firearm in a motor vehicle and possession of an unregistered firearm.The 25-year-old Colts defensive back did not enter a plea during his initial court appearance in D.C. Superior Court on Saturday.Washington has some of the strictest gun-control measures in the country.According to the district's law, "no person shall carry within the District of Columbia either openly or concealed on or about their person, a pistol, or any deadly or dangerous weapon capable of being so concealed."That said, a firearm is permitted in the district if it is held in the registrant's home or workplace, is being used for "lawful recreational purposes" or "is being transported for a lawful purpose."Firearms registered elsewhere still must be registered in the District of Columbia.The Colts issued a statement Saturday after Lefeged's arrest, saying little more than they were "aware of the reports" and will not comment further until they get additional information.Lefeged has played in every game of his two-year professional football career, including four starts last season for the Colts. His arrest comes a few days after another NFL standout, former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, was charged with murder and several gun-related offenses in the death of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.More from usBuffalo rams into SUVU.S. diplomats have been attacked, killed in pastPolicing for profit: How Ferguson's fines violated rights of African-AmericansPowered by Livefyre

Best Men's Room in a Bar
For a bathroom to be considered "the best," it must reek more of personality than of your drinking buddy's puke. The men's restroom at Sancho's may not be the cleanest in Denver, but like the tie-dyed audience at a Phish show, hygiene is not central to its appeal. With elaborately airbrushed portraits of granola-centric staples like Bob Marley, Jim Morrison and John Lennon, the room can make a three-Long Island Iced Tea bender feel like an acid trip. Since it's a men's restroom, it is not completely free of graffiti (it takes only a few strokes of a sharpie to make a mushroom look phallic), but even your non-Deadhead friends will find the Jerry Garcia mirror groovy.

They won't get the message but maybe I'll get some $$$ for porn!!!
"writing award winning articles on sex and candy in post modern America?"
At what point is it too shameful to show your avatar?
Never mind I've resembled that!
I do think he dispatched the IT team
`with some sort of grease gun tho
because I've only got 11 error screens
in the past twelve minutes...
which is seriously good
good gouda bruebelly
good night
I like that it has forums and lots of other stuff, though I'm not using it to get laid (purposefully...sometimes that shit just lands on your jock without you knowing it), but it seems like a pleasant enough place to have a place.
Thanks for that.
And your well deserved accolades.
No doubt you're riding high now, full of yourself.
I don't mean to add to that, but I gotta say you got one handsome face!
Or someone does! The guy over at zoomers is man-crush-worthy.
Especially now that he is an acknowledged hero!
Looks like you and me are gonna be the last two damnfool idiots left here on os.
I don't mind double or triple posting!
As Emerson said, "We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents."
So if I half express myself here, and then half somewhere else..see where I am going with this?....
Jacob Sugarman will save us all. He has a kind face.
I joined Our Salon. I'll look at Zoomers. Your post there is hilarious.
trig, I've noticed, the more people who leave, the better the site runs!! :D WE'LL BE CRUISING AWESOME ON THE 19TH!! ;D
I've been told that they are working on replacing servers and maybe, just maybe, kissing their mom right on the lips!!! :D
We'll see my friend!! I WANT TO FRUCKING WRITE!! I got serious stuff to write about and my Iranian fans told me they won't go to Our Salon, because it's ours, not theirs!! :( :D
Lefty, when you don't know you've doubled post, it's even worse!! WAAA!! :D
Malcolm, ~nodding~ Yeah, Our Salon is a good place, I have other options as well, I'm not sure why I stay at Open. Maybe because I just am!! ~shrug~
We'll see....
Abrawang, you might be right!!!! THAT'S IT!! The PERFECT Cover!! Wooo!! :D
Heidi, it is collapsing and I'm staying to ride the wave it stirs back to shore!! Maybe start playing online games again!! :D
Sirenita, YES PLEASE, all that stuff!! :D (Oooo, alien cream pies too!! :D)
I'm already there!! :D
James, I've been told I've got a pretty face!! Woo!! :D And yes, we'll both be here when they shut the lights off and Jake is shot dead as a traitor!! :D
And ahhhh thanks on the man crush!!! I think you cute too!! :D
Steel, YAY FOR BEER!!! :D
Stim, thank you very much and yeah, it never hurts to have other options. I've been posting at Zoomers for awhile now(over a year?) and I have an account at Our Salon(posted a blog....need to post more!)
Right now, Open is in something, hold pattern. I've been told that their IT Person is doing stuff. Possibly selling old broken phones as toys at the New York State Flea Market to make money to replace the server.
I do not wish OS ill.
I absolutely hope OS will overcome the technical problems it is having-
but I'm also concerned about the "Great Spam Wars"
I would suggest that in order to keep its membership
and serve the membership that has drawn the "Spammers"
That OS CLOSE the membership for a while.
Thia would discourage the spammers,
and allow a SERIOUS weeding out of those who view OS as a "marketplace" for junk
I understand that OS makes its money by "Selling Eyeballs"
I'm fine with that
But it makes no sense to allow freeloaders to sell in the feed
and dominate others writings and community
with commercial nonsense.
I'll be hanging around, but not posting.
I probably will comment ( if i can do it in under 15 minutes)
OS needs to sort out the community from the scavenger pack
I suggest closing membership while people go "inactive"
and cleansing the roll of itinerant marketeers.

Fusilli are a specialty of the Campania region. The spiral shaped pasta were made with a traditional method, passed on from mother to daughter, made by twisting with a swift and confident movement of the hands, a spaghetto around a knitting needle. This movement resembled one of a spinning machine. The word fusillo, as a matter of fact, comes from fuso, a spindle or rod typical of knitting. Fusilli are especially tasty with a ragu sauce (for example napoletana) and ricotta sauces. They also are excellent with tomato-based sauces, adding eggplant, olives and capers. The spiral shape helps to hold ingredients in its folds. Since 1886, the De Cecco name and peasant girl trademark have been internationally recognized guarantees of traditionally made, excellent quality pasta. Wheat from the De Cecco family mill comes from the worlds best wheat crops and gives their pasta its excellent aroma and nutritional quality. Handmade bronze dies, used in the majority of their manufacturing processes, give their pasta a coarse and sauce-absorbing surface. De Cecco pasta keeps its shape and consistency when cooked, thanks to a family-patented drying process, which preserves the protein in their choice wheat. Traditions like these have gained De Cecco a unique, gourmet reputation among the worlds pastas. Each box contains 1 lb (453g) net weight of 100% Whole Wheat Fusilli Pasta by De Cecco. |

A dozen soldiers are scouting ahead of a convoy of tanks through dense woodland. But this is not a pretty scene. There are no squirrels in this place: just men with guns on the way to war. Their rifle butts are square into their shoulders; they're aware that they're painfully exposed, their eyes alert, darting. You can smell the incoming ambush.
The attack is ferocious, unexpected and entirely unfair. A missile, launched from an attack chopper some miles away, slams into the side of a tank. The soldiers are knocked upward by the blast, and slam down, dead. Flashpoint is back with a bang.

At last, I shared Sawyer's sweet newborn session with you, and today her equally adorable birth announcement {c/o minted}.
I love the formality and tradition of birth announcements. What a wonderful way to share our special new baby girl with our closest family and friends. We didn't send a holiday card this year {which, if you know me was a BIG deal} but I was 9 months pregnant with Sawyer and just couldn't bear the thought of sending a card with our family photo that didn't include her sweet face. So, we waiting until her arrival instead.
I searched and search for the perfect announcement, and loved the simple floral touch this design had. Because her middle name is Rose, I loved the undertone and it was a great match to her nursery. The blush coloring of her skin in the photo also worked so well aesthetically. It's a great treasure to add to her baby book in celebration of her first arrival.
So … onto the equally exciting part. My friends at minted have generously allowed me to host another giveaway! Who wouldn't want a $150 to use on birth announcements {or anything that suits your fancy, really}? I know about 75 lovely ladies who are pregnant right now, and this couldn't be more perfect. So, click here to enter to win between now and Sunday, March 2, 2014 at 11:59PM est for your chance to win!
* some restrictions may apply. click here for full official rules. in full disclosure, I am a customer of minted.com because I love their customer service and great designs. they were kind enough to provided me with a credit to use towards the purchase of my birth announcements for this order.
I've been anxiously awaiting the moment when I could share my sweet new daughter. Introducing … Sawyer Rose. She's our new bundle of joy { well, new-ish as we've somehow hit the 2-month mark already } and she couldn't be more wonderful.
It seems like just yesterday we were in the midst of Wyatt's newborn session. He is now two and running circles around me – which made this shoot even more fun. I just love their sweet little shots together – so much love.
Big, big thank you to my friend Heidi at Our Labor of Love for yet another gorgeous set of photos for us to capture this special moment in our lives.
And, stay tuned tomorrow – I'm sharing Sawyers birth announcement with fabulous giveaway from Minted that you won't want to miss!
I'm in the holiday spirit and ready to break out the Christmas tunes at any given moment {too soon?}.
One of my favorite things about the holidays is looking forward to a mailbox full of happy & festive holiday cards from friends and family I hear from every day and some I haven't heard from in ages. Since it will be Baby Girl's first Christmas, I hate not to include her on the holiday card but not knowing when she will arrive exactly and coordinating a family photo for Christmas cards and then her newborn shots has my head spinning just a tad – but mostly because I look forward to it so much every year!
I ordered Wyatt's birthday invitations this year from Minted and had such a fabulous experience that I decided to go with them for our holiday cards this year as well!
So, here are a few of my picks for our holiday card this year. Do you have a favorite?
After browsing tons of fabulous designs, I thought I'd share how I went about selecting my holiday cards. Everyone has different priorities for selecting their card designs, but here is what I found to be my top 5 "must haves" for my holiday cards:
1. Single, Large Photo Layout
I love a good reason to take yet another family photo that really reflects the personality and lifestyle of our little clan, so a flat card with a clean, simple one-photo layout was my #1 priority. I filtered out all other design options from the search for that reason, which made my search quite a bit easier!
2. Classic Holiday Message
Around the holidays, I'm especially nostalgic for the "classics." This year, I must admit I was tempted by some of the very cute & clever phrases, song lyrics, and words that adorned the sweet designs, but I decided sticking to a classic message like "Happy Holidays" or "Joy" felt more like something that fit our family so there I stuck.
3. Whimsical Design
While I stuck with classic message, I love a little juxtaposition so a bit of whimsy in the design was also important to me. I love the hand-painted look of some of the design treatments like the evergreen sprigs, the shiny gold foil, or the special edge designs. Pairing a little something fun with the classic message and a photo I'm in love with makes for a homerun holiday card in my book.
4. Last Name Leaders
Call me traditional again, but I just love having a strong, simple statement like "The Schoenith's" or even the year stamp showing as a prominent design treatment. When you see a wall or fridge filled with holiday cards, making yours easily identifiable and a keepsake (especially for family members that love to keep cards!) makes this touch especially significant.
5. Ease of Use
Onto the more "2.0" version of myself, ease of use in browsing, ordering, & ask questions is such a priority for me {especially this time of year …} so being able to filter my search, find my perfect card on my iPhone at 1 AM from the comfort of my bed, and live chat customer service with a question made my choice even easier. And, don't think for one minute I won't be uploading my Christmas List so these cards come pre-addressed and ready to go!
Last but not least, I have a fun giveaway for you and YOUR holiday cards this year from my friends at Minted. Click here and enter to win $150 credit towards your holiday card purchase at Minted this year!
Giveaway entries accepted 11/22/13-11/26/13 11:50 pm PT. Giveaway sponsored by Minted. All opinions are my own. As part of this collaboration, I received compensation. All opinions are my own. A winner will be chosen at random and prize fulfillment will be handled by Minted.
I'm in countdown mode to the very first Garden & Gun Jubilee – have you heard? With holiday shopping {and music} on my brain already, coupled with the fact that I have yet to make it to a G&G event {despite my many hints to attend the Blackberry Farm weekend … ahem}. And, as if it couldn't get any better, the Jubilee is in Charleston …. December 6th thru 8th.
I'm so thrilled that IceMilk Aprons will be participating by showcasing some of our items – what a treat! Unfortunately with the upcoming birth of baby girl I can't travel to make the event, so one lucky person will win two tickets to the G&G Jubilee instead!
I love watching the Food Network, but imagine my surprise a few weeks back when I spotted one of my new heirloomed aprons pop up on the screen. In disbelief I hit rewind on the DVR and sure enough, there it was! Chef Damaris Phillips, the latest winner of Food Network Star was wearing the heirloomed Halter Apron on the trailer for her new show, Southern at Heart.
I absolutely love that she is celebrating the love of Southern food and spreading her Kentucky roots for all to see. In the second episode this morning, Damaris prepared a lovely Fall breakfast spread, including two of my favorites {quiche & granola} AND was wearing the apron during the whole episode – how exciting. She wears it so beautifully and couldn't imagine a more wonderful, Southern model for the apron. She picked her apron up at a store we work with in Louisville, KY called The Urban Farmhouse Market, and was also kind enough to wear it for her cooking demos last week at the New York Food & Wine Festival.
If you haven't tuned in yet to watch Southern at Heart, I hope you'll tune in next Sunday at 10:30AM est to catch the latest episode and support Damaris!
In celebration of the TV debut, we are hosting a giveaway this week of our heirloomed Halter Apron, the same style worn by Damaris on the show! You have until 11/10/13 12AM to enter to win – best of luck!

There are few things I enjoy more than entertaining. My entertaining style is simple, inclusive, unexpected and rustic – and the more the merrier.
I love the styling of author Annette Joseph, so I instantly knew her new book Picture Perfect Parties would be right up my alley. Her focus on simplicity shines through each page, making any event seem effortless and chic.
Annette was kind enough to include one of our IceMilk Aprons, the full sash Morning Bun Moments, in the styling of the book. And, by happenstance it landed a place in one of my favorite occasions … the Thanksgiving section. So, a fun giveaway for you this week as we're teaming up and giving you the chance to win a signed copy of Picture Perfect Parties and a Morning Bun Moments full sash apron.
The giveaway is open through 11/04/13 – best of luck to those who enter. No better time to get ready for simple entertaining in style, right before the holidays!
Yesterday, we announced the launch of our new Burlap Holiday Collection by IceMilk Aprons so today we have a very special giveaway for you from the Collection!
This week, you have a special chance to win our new Burlap Santa Sack to start a family tradition of your own and instill the spirit of giving for your children this holiday season! You may click here to read a bit more about the story behind the Santa Sack, or click here to order yours today {they can be personalized with your child's name, too}. A portion of the proceeds of this item support CURE Childhood Cancer.
If you've followed the heirloomed blog for sometime now, you know that CURE Childhood Cancer is one of my favorite non-profit organizations. The people behind it are passionate, the funds go directly to solving and supporting initiatives to find a cure for childhood cancer, and it is a cancer segment that is highly under-funded. I am hoping we can raise as much money as possible and do some good this holiday! I hope you'll take a moment to click thru to their website and learn more.
And, for the moment you've been waiting for … be sure to enter to win this special giveaway below in the Rafflecopter widget! You have many extra chances to win, too! Good luck!

With daylight savings time underway and the sun shining just a little bit longer, I figure it's close enough to spring to go ahead and start the celebration with a little giveaway – don't you think?
My favorite time of year is coming near, when the weather gets warmer (and by warmer, I mean hot here in the South) and when people come out of the woodwork to have fun and gather together for no reason at all. Spring weddings come to life, and long weekends to the lake & beach are more frequent than not. Fresh fruits & veggies are plentiful, and the grill is always on call to be fired up.
I am so proud of the new heirloomed collection linens and think they are just perfect for Spring entertaining. I worked hard to keep them simple, yet still distinctive and to keep a balanced juxtaposition of a luxurious linen paired with the rustic, simple kraft pastry packaging. And, I am so thrilled to share that I've just added (just now!) the option to have the table runner embroidered if you so wish. You may either have a single letter monogram for the center of the runner, or an "established" date on the detail tag on one end to commemorate a special date. I love the personal touch, and hope you will too.
And now … onto the Spring Giveaway! Hope you'll join in for a chance to win the heirloomed table linens gift package – a set of four napkins and table runner.
As always, entering is so simple. …

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
First of all, got this car in 2011 with 30K miles, stickered new for $69,500.
It has $75K on it and is 100% trouble free.
I have the sport backage in Carbon Black with tinted windows. What can I say, this car is beautiful yet intimidating.
Blazing fast with amazing handling.
Steering and brakes are A plus and the engine noise is a symphony.
Those who look at numbers say a 535i is almost the same-no its not.
Get a V8, a rare commodity nowadays.
Plenty of room in the interior, high quality materials.
I have driven many luxury cars, love teh E60 550i more than any and much more than the new F10 5 series--too big and bland.
I want my cars with style, love it or hate it.
Buy this car!

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
Just to start, this is not my first car or my second.
I understand there are no guarantees in life and cars are finnicky.
Sometimes you just get a bad apple.
But for the $$$ a 550i costs those apples should be fixed properly and the owner satisfied.
I have owned quite a few vehicles in my now 17 years of driving.
2 of which were a 2003 325xi and a 2006 330i sport.
Both of which had no problems.
I purchased the 550i in 2010 with 33k miles.
It was a CPO, which gave me comfort purchasing a used car.
Not any more!!!
I seriously doubt this car was properly inspected.
Which is what I told BMW, and they passed the buck to the dealer who basically told me F off.
Consistent problems!

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
I guess my expectations were set too high - dealer sold me this CPO car with a bent wheel, no floor mats and various missing bolts and accessories (as discovered later).
Overall car handles quite well, but does not shine in any area:
braking is good, but touchy and not progressive
acceleration is good but vibrations coming form V8 are way too much for a luxury car, plus there's not much torque below 2000 rpm.
Leather on seats wears off way too quick, sport seats are not super comfortable, front leg room is surprisingly small
In less than 1 year I had to visit dealer for repairs 6 times! And car still has issues with leaking wiper system, shuddering on idle and jerky transmission.

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
Great all around highway cruiser.
Curves do not exist at practically any speed.
Brakes are first class in every respect.
Gas mileage averages around 12.5, all city driving; 15.5 combined; and 22.7 highway at any speed below 100 mph ( I know what you are thinking but that is how it works out ).
Easy to live with and drive under any conditions.
Front seats are very comfortable on long drives.
Rough ride over road imperfestions.
Extremely large and useful trunk.
Not a single problem of any kind for the three years I had it.
Some repetetive adjustments on the I drive are ridiculous.
Heater will not warm your feet no matter how you adjust it. Throttle control is managed by computer.

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
Just bought this car to replace my 2003 BMW 745Li. Got it with a short shift manual transmission, sport package and aero kit. The car is stellar in performance and handling - a breath of fresh air from my trusty 745. This is my eleventh BMW and is just as reliable if not better than the others. Brings back memories of my 1990 535i 5 speed. The comfort seats are very supportive and provide enough bolstering to encourage spirited driving

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
The 550i is amazing. It handles beautifully. The power is so amazing. It just pulls you into the seat. The headlights are awesome. The sound system is A+. There is nothing that I could think of that needs to be changed in the 550i. The seats are also a huge deal. They are super comfortable. The only thing is it eats fuel but the highway fuel economy is really good. But it's worth paying extra for fuel because the power is a great feeling.

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
You will not be disappointed with the 550i Sport Package. You must order the sport package with the sport transmission which includes the "wow" button and paddle shifters. You also must order the Logic 7 audio with the USB iPod adapter. Finally Heads up display should be on your option list along with NAV. This car is very comfortable at 90 miles per hour on the interstate. At a steady 75 MPH you will get 24-25 MPG, about 17 MPG around town. I have owned a 2006 750LI, a 2004 Porsche C4S Cabriolet, a 2003 540i Sport Package and other than the open air motoring of the Cab this car takes the best pieces of each and puts them in a single package. Find a good used one with low miles!

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
I disagree with the prior reviewer. I too came out of an Audio A6 3.2 into a 550i sport, but think the BMW is a better car in every respect. I have had no problems with my car after almost 2 years of daily use, hard use. I drive this car hard and it delivers! The engine is something to be reckoned with, from 0 to over 100 there is power to spare, just punch it and hang on. The interior is solid as a rock... no squeaks or rattles almost 20k miles. Where the A6 is plastic this car is leather, a true luxury sports sedan. (my A6, my 2nd , was in the shop many times)

2008 BMW 5 Series Sedan 550i 4dr Sedan (4.8L 8cyl 6M)
Just came off a Audi A6 3.2 quattro lease and decided to try the BMW 550i. I had a 2003 BMW 530i previous to the Audi. There is no doubt that the Audi quality and solidity is better than the BMW. The interior design of the Audi is superior as well. Where the BMW comes into its own is how it drives. The 550i is powerful for sure. The motor and suspension dynamics make the car despite is not being as solidly made as the Audi. We will have to see how the reliability of the car goes as the months progress. I never had any problems with either my 2003 530i or my 2006 Audi A6 quattro.

Nuclear power and greenhouse gas emissions
Myth 1: the generation of electricity by nuclear fission does not lead to greenhouse gas emissions.Even if this were the case, switching the entire world's electricity production to nuclear would still not solve the problem because the production of electricity is only one of many human activities that release greenhouse gases. Other sources of greenhouse gases include transport and heating, agriculture, the production of cement and deforestation. The CO2 released worldwide through electricity production accounts for only 9% of total annual human greenhouse gas emissions (UIC, 2001b). This section discusses:
Greenhouse gas emissions from nuclear power productionIt is true that the actual fission process whereby electricity is generated does not release greenhouse gases. However, in various stages of the nuclear process (e.g. mining, uranium enrichment, building and decommissioning of power plants, processing and storing radioactive waste) huge amounts of energy are needed, much more than for less complex forms of electricity production. Most of this energy comes in the form of fossil fuels, and therefore nuclear power indirectly generates a relatively high amount of greenhouse gas emissions. How much greenhouse gas is emitted compared to the amount of electricity produced?In order to establish the magnitude of these emissions compared to emissions from other forms of electricity production, it is necessary to carry out comparative lifecycle assessment of the various energy supply options. In these assessments the total emissions over the whole lifecycle are added together and divided by the total electricity produced over the lifetime of the power plant: the result shows the total greenhouse gas emissions per kWh electricity. A number of lifecycle assessments for various electricity production processes have been carried out in the past. One of the most comprehensive of these was carried out by the Öko Institute in Germany. It is based on 10 years of research in the GEMIS (Global Emission Model for Integrated Systems) database. A number of the results are shown in the following table.
Table 1: Greenhouse gas emissions per generation method in Germany (Öko Institute, 1997). From the data above it can be concluded that nuclear power emits about the same quantity of greenhouse gases as electricity produced from a number of renewable sources, but much less than fossil fuel sources: 12 times less than gas power stations and almost 30 times less than coal power stations. Much of these emissions occur when energy is used for the mining of uranium, during transports and in the enrichment process that makes uranium usable as reactor fuel. The emissions during decommissioning of a nuclear reactor are probably underestimated in these analyses, because in practice these emissions turn out to be much higher than was assumed theoretically. In a number of other studies similar emissions data are reported, where nuclear power emissions are calculated in the range of 30-60 g CO2-eq. /kWh (IAE, 1994; CRIEPI, 1995). A more recent study by Storm van Leeuwen & Smith (2004) estimated the difference in emissions between nuclear and gas power plants to be much smaller than the assessments described above. According to their data, nuclear power production causes the emission of just 3 times fewer greenhouse gases than modern natural gas power stations. This figure is based on rich ores with over 0.1% uranium content. Moreover they expect a dramatic decrease of the percentage of uranium content in ores, which will make the extraction of the uranium much more energy consuming. The emissions from the nuclear industry are strongly dependent on the percentage of uranium in the ores used to fuel the nuclear process. The global average uranium content in ores is currently about 0.15% (Canadian Nuclear, 2002, cited in Slingerland et al, 2004). How many nuclear power plants are needed to reduce emissions?Can we reduce the emissions of the public energy sector (electricity and combined heat/ electricity) by replacing fossil fuels with nuclear power on a large scale? And if so, how many new power plants would we need? Makhijani (2002) estimates that, in order to produce a noticeable reduction in global CO2 emissions, it would be necessary to build 2000 large new nuclear reactors of 1000 MW each. The U.S. National Commission on Energy estimates that U.S. reactors would have to double or triple over the next 30-50 years. This means about 300-400 new reactors, including those to replace reactors which will be retiring during that period (National Commission on Energy, 2004). We have calculated the number of new nuclear power stations that would be needed to reduce the emissions of the public energy sector by 2012 according to the targets of the Kyoto Protocol in the EU-15 (EU prior to the expansion). Although the Protocol does not actually stipulate the sectors in which emissions reductions are to be made, we have made the calculations assuming that each sector contributes according to the levels of its current contribution to total emissions. This means that while this sector accounts for 39% of emissions it should be responsible for 39% of emissions reductions (EarthTrends, 2003). Assuming that electricity generation from nuclear power plants does indeed cause the indirect emission of 35g CO2-eq./kWh (Öko, 1997), 72 new medium sized plants of 500MW each would be required in the EU-15. (For an explanation of the calculations and assumptions please refer to appendix 1). These would have to be built before the end of the first commitment period 2008- 2012. Leaving aside the huge costs this would involve, it is unlikely that it is technically feasible to build so many new plants in such a short time, given that only 15 new reactors have been built in the last 20 years (WISE, 2003). Furthermore, with so many new reactors, the world supply of uranium would be exhausted very quickly. Nuclear power and heat productionSociety does not just require energy in the form of electricity: heat is also essential. In the average French household for example, two thirds of the energy used is heat and one-third is electricity (WWF, 2000). When fossil fuels are burnt to produce electricity, a by-product of the process is heat. Traditionally this heat energy has been lost as waste and therefore the efficiency of fossil fuel burning power plants has been low. However, in the last few decades huge advances have been made in fossil fuel cogeneration plants where most of this 'waste heat' is recovered and used in industrial heating or urban heating systems. The efficiency in these plants can reach as high as 90%, compared to 35-55% in conventional plants (Field, 2000; WWF, 2000). How efficient is a nuclear power plant compared to a modern natural gas fired cogeneration plant?The Öko Institute has calculated the total greenhouse gas emissions of producing 1kWh electricity and 2kWh heat by various energy systems. A natural-gas fired cogeneration plant typically generates about one-third electricity and two-thirds heat, so all of the emissions in this system would stem from the cogeneration plant. In the case of a conventional nuclear plant power, the heat would have to be generated from another source: the Öko study chose an oil-fired central heating system. (Oil was chosen because the associated emissions fall between those of coal and gas.) The total emissions in this case would be as for 1kWh electricity generation in the nuclear plant, and 2 kWh heat production by the oil-fired central heating system. The results reveal that the total emissions from the gas cogeneration plant are of the same order of magnitude as those produced in the nuclear + oil example. Therefore, if we were to replace older fossil-fuel burning power stations with new cogeneration systems, for the same amount of electricity and heat generation the total greenhouse gas emissions would be similar to those in a system based on electricity from nuclear power and heating from fossil fuels. A number of nuclear cogeneration power plants have been built in Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Canada amongst others (Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan, 2000). However, these are the exception rather than the rule. While nuclear cogeneration is technically feasible, there is much less experience with this method than with fossil-fuel powered cogeneration plants mainly because nuclear power plants are built far from urban areas. Therefore the transport of the heat from the nuclear power station to the consumer would lead to a lot of heat loss. Greenhouse gas emissions in FranceIn 2003 France generated 75% of its electricity in nuclear power plants. The nuclear industry likes to use France as a shining example of the advantages of nuclear power. However, France's greenhouse gas emissions in 2000 were still increasing, largely because it has lost control of energy consumption in other sectors, e.g. transport. Furthermore, studies of future energy scenarios carried out by the French Government Central Planning Agency show no evident correlation between CO2 emissions and nuclear power. In fact, the scenario with the lowest emissions was the one in which the growth in demand was minimised, not the one with the greatest use of nuclear power (Boisson, 1998 & Charpin et al., 2000). In another study, a comparison was made between the results of investments in wind energy and the same amount of investment in nuclear energy. The results were clearly favourable for wind energy. With the same investment much more energy could be generated with wind. Moreover, with investments in wind energy more new jobs were generated than with investments in nuclear energy (Bonduelle & Levevre, 2003). |

I wanted to see what you ladies do for punishments? I am not starting a debate just asking, if this bothers you, you don't have to answer.
Do you try to find a punishment that fits the crime? Do you do the same punishment all the time no matter what?
My oldest is 7 almost 8 and were having a few problems with her. I had a post a few months ago about problems at school and being mean to us at home. I am still working on this issue with her and I asked the school to step in and help me figure it out.
Anyways, lately she has been lying. Just about little things nothing harmful but I don't like the lies! She is also name calling and they are not so nice! She heard it from the boy next door and I had to tell his mom he can no longer stand in our driveway to wait for the bus.
But here we do time out, thats a big one. But when my older 2 slam doors out of anger I make them open and close the door the right way 20 times.
The only one that doesn't understand fully of time out is my 3yr old. he just looks at you funny like what!
Consistency is really the biggest discipline rule in our house, no ignoring bad behavior. (We have family that I want to look at and say "Do you not see why they aren't listening?) We use time outs and apologies the most. And okay, maybe a little bit of guilt because I take the "are you supposed to be doing that? did you think that was going to be a good choice?" type tone.
Basically, if I catch them doing something wrong they have to "fix it", whether it's something broken, knocked over, stepped on, etc (rough housing boys - can you tell?) or someone's feelings. The only way to get time out is either ignoring a warning, or not "fixing it". No getting out of time out until you've calmly sat through your assigned number of minutes.
time outs and losing things are the big ones here. Ive gotten a little too laid back with the kids lately...and you can see the downward spiral they can go into when it happens....we are getting order back starting this weekend! Luckily, I think we have realized the situation before it went too far gone!
We use timeouts. My 2 yo does them the best so far. He'll just go to the spot when he gets timeout. None of my others did that. And it works for this age. I imagine we'll adapt it as they grow. For my oldest he would be grounded or have to write sentences etc at 9-10 yo. We were lucky he wasnt needing punishment much.
♥ Amanda ♥
♥ Mom to: Jesse 16, Jacob 5, Ethan 3, Eli 2, & baby Andrew ♥
It depends on the age, of course. With my 9 year old, I'll take away his Nintendo or TV, with my 6 year old (almost 7) same things, but I'll also put him in a corner (which he hates, so it works), and with my 3 year old I'll just smack her hand. Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't, but like others have said it's about consistancy, and finding out what works best with your kids.

Definitely depends on the age and what the child's "currency" is. Mostly for Sawyer and Elliot, we do time outs right now. for the older boys, they lose privilges like talking on the phone or playing xbox or whatever it is that is important to them to get the point across that what teh did was NOT ok! We also do the bead system (someone on here told me about. asha? maybe?) and that works GREAT. Sometimes just threating them to lose beads will do the trick
Wife to Jason
Momma to:
Brodie(9)~Deacon(8 )~Truman(8 )~Sawyer(5)~Elliot(3)~Finn 3/9/12
I agree. It depends on what the crime is and on what they respond to. If it's something they can fix, they have to fix it. If it's hurting someone, they have to apologize, and then sometimes have an additional punishment. We rarely do time outs, but it does depend on the situation. For instance, if Thomas gets up from the table without putting his plate in the sink, he goes to time out.
Lying is a huge thing for us, so if you're caught lying, your punishment is greater than it would have been if you had been honest in the first place about what you did wrong.
If there's a punishment that fits the crime, we try to do that. For instance, if they don't turn off the DS when told, they lose video game privileges for the next 24 hours. If there isn't a punishment to fit the crime, they usually loose a privilege. The most common ones are TV/video games, dessert and (for the little ones) reading a bedtime story with Mom. Cherish sometimes gets sent to her room, because she usually acts up to get attention, and if I sit and argue with her or keep taking away privileges, she will continue to get attention. If I send her to her room, she will chill out and then come back to apologize on her own.

Dear Liz ,I am an introvert. I find it hard to make good, long-lasting friendships. Why is it harder now than when I was a kid? People come and go in our lives constantly. People don't seem to prize deep relationships anymore. Any tips?
New Carlisle, Ohio
Hi, thanks for writing. I wrote a column this week on this subject exactly, and I Couldn't agree with you more. As an entire society we are lacking the ability to prize these relationships. It's a common statement you make here also, that it's so much more difficult as an adult to make friends than it was as a kid. My guess is that kids have a much simpler agenda, with less fear, believe it or not, and more faith in the process. I would say that it might be more difficult for an introvert to make friends, but my research has also shown, that an introvert is more likely to keep friends. So hang on to that thought.
My first tip to you would be to ask you to try and reach beyond your comfort zone as an introvert and attempt a more proactive effort to make friends. You seem to know it will be worth it. I know it's difficult, but do it. Secondly, I Would say pay very close attention to the opportunities around you for friendship, some you may not have noticed. Friendship can begin with something as mundane and as silly as a question. "Where did you get that belt?" Put it out there. Also, re-assess who you're exposed to right now in your life and see if you can get something going.
Next, I would suggest you seek out some sort of group situation to add to your life. A class in anything, knitting, writing, bowling, pottery, exercise, soap making, book club, whatever interests you. Find something and join. This can create the opportunity for you to meet, and be around the same people week after week, in a way that can offer a real shot for friendship to bud. And lastly, I would recommend that you make sure to nurture the friendships you have. Even if the friends live far, write cards, letters, and call, it's an important practice to let the people you care about know that you're thinking of them and are there for them. The more you put effort into something, the more you'll get back. Good luck to you!
Great things,

Just wondering how many of you 642 owners keep the original grips on your gun. I got a Hogue grip (monogrip) which I love the feel of. Now I do fine with the original grip and can shoot well with it. But of course the Hogue absorbs more recoil and makes the gun easier to handle. I do like the feel better.
I've swapped handles atleast 3-4 times over the past 6 months and keep going back to the original grip just because it is so much easier to conceal. I have a hard time concealing it with the Hogue grip on it, (especially if I have to use my Smartcarry). Even IWB with a t-shirt prints more with the Hogue..Anyone else tried a larger grip and gone back to the smaller one just to conceal easier?

These two acts just look so goofy. It's fun to have a gimmick and all but this looks downright retarded , especially what the hot chip do
Yeah it's definitely been done...over and over and over and over.
All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 7:1
Dude, Hot Chip will put you down.
Under the ground.
So.......Justice = Daft Punk wannabe's and HOt Chip = The Beastie Boys?
Ha. No.
Don't miss Justice, Fax. They don't compare to Daft Punk but they're gonna kill it. I guarantee their set will be nuts.
Hot Chip is just fun. Listen to "The Warning"...and be scared.
Well somebody has to point out the useless purpose of your threads, otherwise you'll just keep posting stupid threads.
Did you really have to make a thread asking about the M & M costumes, or could you have just added it to the thread asking about the Bjork costume in the lounge?
Oh I forgots thie internets is full of useful threads. Lets see yours.
We'll add your comments to the "who gives a shit" forum.Did you really have to make a thread asking about the M & M costumes, or could you have just added it to the thread asking about the Bjork costume in the lounge?
Take off your panties and get out of the corner.
Something tells me your spouting off wasn't so useful and doesn't stop people from posting threads that YOU don't like.
the thread starter is lame.
They will be wearing fetus costumes while playing the Abortion Tent
if it was Just Ice, I'd be interested.
since it's not, naaah.
I'm going to put your sidekick in my mojito.
Best Thread Ever.

Röyksopp, FC Kahuna, Télépopmusik, The Knife, RJD2, Futue Sound of London, The Avalanches, 808 State, Zero 7, Tycho, Mr. Scruff
Huh? No, I can tell you the short version though. It's all really complicated. We had an SUV and a Dodge Dakota Quad Cab, now we have a Nissan Sentra so it's more gas econmical and the payment is lower. I tried to sell the tickets here but didn't have any luck and I didn't want to lose out on the money and the experience so now i'm going. I won't even go into the relationship i'm in all the other stupid factors of going or not going but as it stands, I have my tent and sleeping baga from last year and a three day pass with onsite camping. I had a reservation for the Best WEstern campground but gave that to the guy I was going to split with. That's right 'gave'.
Just because you have hangups about people who sell an extra ticket on ebay doesn't make you a better person in any way so keep trying in life and get that helmet.
All is well and i'm going.
Justice are fuckin incredible live... a MUST MUST MUST see. I saw them a few weeks ago, cant wait to see them again. and with Busy P and Mehdi, it will be even more amazing. Im assuming they will be doing a tag team set. I dont know who Hot Chip are, but dont compair them to the Beastie Boys. Cause Bboys are prob the best thing since sliced bread. You cant front of that.
Hot Chip = Really Good Music Having a Bad Day
