Complaint: I purchased a new car from this dealership that was defective form the factory and after a long process the manufacturer has agreed to replace the vehicle so they contacted Ron Tonkin Dodge so i could exchange it for a new vehicle and they declined because they would not make any sale profit exchanging the vehicle so the manufacture decided to refund my money but cant do so because Ron Tonkin Dodge says they wont store it for the manufacturer because they have no room to store the vehicle which is a lie, so i guess they have no problem selling me a defective vehicle with no intentions of rectifying the problem.
Desired Settlement: store my vehicle for the manufacture and live up to there sales motto

Complaint: I purchased a new Dodge Ram 1500 truck, including a dealership EXTENEDED WARRENTY, from Ron Tonkin on 10/19/14. Over the last year I have continually had to contact Ron Tonkin Dodge in order to address an ongoing electrical issue with this vehicle. It has not been resolved, and at this point it is a safety issue. I am not confident it is safe to transport my family, including our young infant in this vehicle. The dealership has yet to address this vehicle's electrical safety issues. Within a month of purchase, at the end of October 2014, I noticed problems with the electrical system in the vehicle: • lights flashing, • heated seats not working, • the control panel not responding. The truck has been in to the dealership for the electrical issue seven times with no solution. I have been patient and worked with the dealership for over a year now. I often have had to follow up and contact them to get any update on the progress or possible parts. The last time they had my truck for over a week. I had to contact them to see what the status was, to be told they were not able to identify the issue. When I picked up my truck it was having the issue in the parking lot and I was told they had not seen it. This vehicle is under the manufacturer's warranty in addition to the extended warranty purchased when I bought the vehicle. The dealership recommended we purchase the extended warranty at purchase to cover the new advanced electrical system. This was a brand new vehicle when the issues began and I have done my part as a consumer, I am waiting for Ron Tonkin or Chrysler to fulfill their part as a business.
Desired Settlement: We want to know the cause of the electrical issue and repair to the vehicle so it is brought to full condition as guaranteed by the dealership and manufacturer warranty.
Business Response:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr. ************ letter.

Complaint: On September 18th at 8pm. My fiancée and I called earlier in the day to schedule a drive on a 2008 jeep advertised for $25,432. There were a few issues with it but we were told that the tire on the jeep would be replaced due to it being a safety and ruined. We were assured that it would get changed out as I'm a woman and drive children small around. This was promised to us by the finance manager as well as the floor manager. The finance system was down so the salesman Bronson said they would plug our names in first thing in the morning and call us. The 19th returned and decided that we were going to buy the Jeep. The salesman brought us a paper to sign saying as is. We said after the tire was changed we would sign it. The management stated that they would not honor that and refused to change the ruined tire. We could not believe after promising us to fix there issue we ended up leaving the dealership after putting the jeep on our insurance. Later that day the priced was raised almost $3000 then what it was advertised to us for. This is a horrible practice. I will tell all of my friends and family to never go to this dealership.
Desired Settlement: I want this company to honor what they promised us. I walked away crying from this dealership hoping I could finally get what I always wanted and the car manager and dealer screwed my over and lied to me after I had done so much to get it. I want an apology and this company to honor the agreement and reprice the jeep at what we were to buy it for. I hope this is posted. People must know how corrupt this dealership is. I spoke to two other dealerships about this and they were so ashamed that this company would do that to a single mother, not even caring to keep here safe on the road.

Complaint: 1st issue I and my partner bought a new truck Ram Echo diesel last June, 2014. On Sunday, March 22nd my family and I and two of mine elderly parents were on our way to Belknap OR, pulling our RV (6500 lb) by Dodge RAM truck, when in about 60miles from our home on I-5 freeway our truck made a very loud noise and the engine died. I immediately pulled over and I made a call to Customer One Care and explained my situation, as our truck is under warranty. The representative sent us a*** ****** ******* to tow our truck and RV back home. The representative explained that because this happened on Sunday and no one is available to process the claim that day and we must pay all expenses and then request reimbursement after vacation. The next day on March 23rd, we went to a Dodge dealership and asked for the rental truck to go on vacation as we already had a reservation that could not be cancelled in a short time period and we took the time off from our work. They provide us the truck and asked us to pay for the rental. We had to drive to Tualatin and pick up the rental truck from ********** ****** **. The dealer having my truck in the shop since 03-22-15 and they still not able to fix the problem. It is 34 business days passed. The ******** case manager (Michelle ph. ************) called me just three or four times. I talked directly to her just two times, and every time she has no updates and just keep saying that they still working on it. I am looking for a reimbursement (cash) for this truck. 2nd issue I am requesting that you reimburse me for the amount that I had to pay for the towing RV and my truck and for rental truck. I have included all receipts and the title of my truck. I am hoping to hear back from you and get results regarding this request of mine. • Towing Truck $130.00 (I received this amount only) • Towing RV trailer $273.00 • Extra miles $141.00 • Rental truck $70.56 • Total amount $484.56
Desired Settlement: 1. I am looking for a reimbursement (cash) for this truck. 2. I am requesting that you reimburse me for the amount that I had to pay for the towing RV and my truck and for rental truck.

Complaint: We bought a 2007 Toyota Highlander from this Dealership. We initially saw the ad on craigslist and it was a 4 wheel drive. We were looking for 4 wheel drives only. We drove 40 miles to look at the vehicle and liked what we saw. Our Salesman at the time was Joseph (He no longer works there) He was a nice guy and answered our questions. There was one question we had asked, he wasn't sure about. Where is the 4 wheel drive button? He had made a phone call (in the middle of the test drive) to find that out. He told us that it was full time 4 wheel drive so hence the no button situation. Ok fine with us, we just wanted 4 wheel drive. We made a deal and bought the vehicle. Part of the deal was that they would get us another key at a discounted price through the toyota dealership because we only had one key and there was no fob. Joseph made a phone call to the toyota dealership to see what our price would be. He said about $45. Ok sounds good. Except later it ended up being $500 because the key we had was not an original, it was a vallet key. Who sells a vallet key as the only key for the vehicle? Also a week later we realized the vehicle they sold us was only a 2wd, NOT 4wd. False advertisement and a misleading salesman has shorted us as a family a lot of money. I have tried to resolve this on my own but never got anywhere
Desired Settlement: What we really want is a 4 wheel drive vehicle without having to do a trade in and lose more money. A vehicle that has 2 keys, 2 fobs, and an owners manual. Not a vallet key.This is what we wanted and thought we would get as part of our original deal!

Complaint: On February 22, 2015 we bought a 2013 Certified Used Dodge Dart under warranty from Ron Tonkin Dodge, Gladstone, OR. On March 21, 2015, we called Ron Tonkin to get the car in and they argued with us about bringing the car in, after multiple talks with them they finally said they 'would look at it, we then took the car back to Ron Tonkin because of the Check Engine Light and the AirBag Light coming on and the car dying while being driving. We don't live locally as my husband is in the Navy and stationed in Bremerton **********. They said they did a diagnostic test and reset the computer. On March 24, 2015 I had to call roadside assistance and have the car jumped because it died yet again while being driven. I called Ron Tonkin on March 25th to get the car in because of it dying again while being driven and having to get it jumped. They argued with me about giving me an appointment, they claimed that I had not brought the car in before, but when I told them that I had the receipt from it being in on the 21st of March, they finally gave me an appointment for April 2nd. Then on Monday, March 30th I had to call roadside assistance again to have the car towed to Ron Tonkin, as it was dead and wouldn't start. I talked with Ron Tonkin telling them what was going on with the car and why I had it towed to them. They said they would check it out and see what was going on with the car. Then I get a phone call from them telling me that it will cost me $214 for labor. But when I said that the car is still under warranty they tried informing me it is still my problem. Then they decided I would only have to pay half. They didn't fix anything they unhooked the amp and gave the vehicle back to me. My husband is out at sea and I am the one handling all this, it seems like they view me as a child/female so they believe they can get away with treating me this way.
Desired Settlement: I would like Ron Tonkin to accept responsibility for this problem, since they sold me the vehicle with a problem and I want them to fix it. In less than 30 days my car has broke down multiple times and that shouldn't be on me. I would also like an apology for the way I have been spoken to by the Service Lady and Multiple Managers, this is no way to keep a customer. I fell discriminated against and Ron Tonkin needs to fix it!

Dear ** **********,
We are in receipt of ** ******** Better Business Bureau complaint and appreciate the opportunity to respond to his concern.
** ******** purchased a pre-owned 2013 Cadillac SRX from Ron Tonkin Dodge on February 1, 2015. Unfortunately, the navigation system was not properly set up for the customer. A part has been ordered to set up the system and should arrive at our dealership within the next ten days. Once the part arrives, it should only take a few hours to properly set up the navigation and there will be no charge. We expect a satisfactory conclusion to this issue at that time. ******** has been provided alternate transportation for his use.
I sincerely apologize to ** ******* for our oversight. We will endeavor to take corrective action so that this never happens again at our dealership. We appreciate the fact that ** ********* brought this to our attention so that we could rectify our mistake. We thank ** ******** for his patience and look forward to serving him in the future.

Complaint: was charged for a throttle body cleaning and was not done or done improperly. found out by taking to different dealer.
Desired Settlement: refund of cost of service. $219.87 plus rental charge from other dealer of $15.00.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1010, 7, 2014/11/13) */ Better Business Bureau Attn: ******* ********** PO Box 1000 DuPont, WA 98327 October 31, 2014 Re: Case # XXXXXXXX, ***** ***** Dear *** *********** Thank you for the opportunity to respond to *** *****'s letter. *** ***** ***** brought his 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 to Ron Tonkin Dodge on 8/14/14. *** ***** explained that his vehicle would oftentimes bog down or lose power. A throttle body service was performed due to extreme carbon buildup. We were unable to duplicate the "bog down" after the throttle body was cleaned. *** ***** took his vehicle to ** **** ******** ***** on 10/22/14, stating that since having the TPS Sensor replaced, the vehicle would sometime die. ** **** ******** ***** performed another throttle body cleaning, this time removing the throttle body from the engine. After researching the present situation and making contact with the repairing dealer we have found our diagnosis to be accurate. Extreme carbon build up was causing the vehicle to stall. Ron Tonkin Dodge did in fact perform the throttle body service which was the necessary repair for this vehicle. Our service manager believes that some carbon may have dislodged over time and that after performing the throttle body service, some of the displaced material may have clogged the idle speed motor port causing the vehicle to continue stalling. Ron Tonkin Dodge will in good faith refund our valued customer $117.85, the amount charged by Beaverton Chrysler to perform the throttle body service. Sincerely, ***** ***** General Manager Ron Tonkin Dodge Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 9, 2014/11/14) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) The symptoms of the truck never changed. There was never an improvement after the service. I made repeated phone calls back to Tonkin to tell them they did not fix the problem. However, they never responded to any of them! Due to this, I then took my truck to ** ***** To my surprise they recommended a throttle body cleaning also. I explained to them this had already been done by Tonkin. I have written records from ** ***** stating; "Throttle body was not taken off engine and idle speed motor port in the throttle body was not cleaned causing vehicle to stall at times". In person, they told me it was either done improperly or not at all. Due to this information, I am still requesting FULL reimbursement from Tonkin, for a sum of $219.87 plus rental charge from other dealer of $15.00. Thank you, ***** ***** Final Business Response /* (4000, 12, 2014/12/02) */ Better Business Bureau Attn: ****************** PO Box 1000 DuPont, WA 98327 November 25, 2014 Re: Case # ********, *********** Dear **************: While we understand the concerns of our customer, we do not agree with ********** insistence that we refund the full amount of his service. By reviewing the time lapse between the first throttle body cleaning done by Ron Tonkin Dodge and the second cleaning done at *******, it is evident that there was sufficient time for loose particulates to clog the idle speed motor port. More than two months passed between the first and second cleaning. Also, according to the ******* repair order the customer stated to the technician, "After having the TPS sensor replaced, the vehicle started to die again after driving the vehicle for one week". Ron Tonkin Dodge did not replace the TPS sensor so it can be concluded that a third repair facility was used in between the aforementioned cleanings. ********** own statement leads us to believe that the vehicle was repaired at some time and then started failing again. Although we maintain our position as being correct, we value our relationship with ********* and the Better Business Bureau. Rather than continue to dispute the matter, we will be happy to reimburse ********* for $219.87, the total service fee charged by ******* . Because ******* verified that ********* was not charged for his rental car, we will not reimburse for the $15.00 rental car fee. We value ********** opinion and hope to continue to do business with him. We trust that reimbursing ********* for the service completed at ******* will resolve the matter to everyone's satisfaction.

Complaint: Brought truck in for service of a/c unit which was affected from previous repair at this location. Showed up for appt and repair was not completed instead received a call stating the truck could not leave the dealership because the truck rotors were in poor condition and had to be replaced. I do not feel a truck should be held hostage and being told we have to do anything. Showed up to pick up the truck and had to wait over an additional hour after closing to get my truck and found that they never did the ac stating that they parked the truck on the other side and it was inconvenient to move. Was charged over $900 for rotors when I would not choose to have them done at your location but was forced to allow it to get my truck back.
Desired Settlement: I would like reimbursed the difference of what I would have paid at the mechanic I use for such repairs. I would also like my a/c fixed which is under warranty but I would like it fixed on the appointment date first thing in the morning not put off till later in the day.
Business Response: Initial Business Response /* (1010, 5, 2014/10/31) */ Better Business Bureau Attn: ****************** PO Box 1000 DuPont, WA 98327 October 28, 2014 Re: Case*********, *************** Dear **************: Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr. ***************'s letter. ************ brought his 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 (a commercial vehicle with a crane) to our dealership on September 23, 2014 to have a recall completed. At that time, Ron Tonkin Dodge completed a software update for the powertrain control module. Sometime after that update, the air conditioner in ************'s truck failed. ************ brought the truck back to Ron Tonkin Dodge on October 14, 2014, assuming the failure was caused by the software update. At that time, he also requested the front and rear rotors be resurfaced and brake pads be replaced. After machining the front rotors and brake replacement, the technician found the rear rotors to be below minimum thickness. According to manufacturer specification, this minimum calls for replacement of the rotor assembly as dictated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These conditions are safety issues that we as a dealer cannot ignore. The customer was contacted and informed of the condition of the rotors. ************ requested we wait for him to personally inspect the vehicle at which time we honored his request. ************ arrived around 4:00 pm and viewed the rotors with our Service Advisor, ******* ********* and agreed they were unsafe and thanked ******* for bringing this matter to his attention. After being given verbal authorization by **************, our technician stayed after department hours to replace ************'s rear rotors and brakes. ************ declined to have us proceed with a diagnosis of the air conditioning issue due to time restraints. In summary, our service department took appropriate steps to ensure the safety of ************ and other drivers. ************** was informed at every step and made all decisions regarding his vehicle. ************** was not overcharged. In fact, Ron Tonkin Dodge absorbed additional labor required due to the size of his commercial vehicle as a goodwill gesture. At no time was his vehicle "held hostage"; ************ was simpl informed that Ron Tonkin Dodge was liable for any repairs performed and would not complete the job in an unsafe manner. As a goodwill gesture, we will diagnose his air conditioning concern at no charge but cannot guarantee coverage under his extended warranty until an accurate diagnosis has been performed. We will do our best to accommodate ************'s schedule along with the schedules of our other customers. Sincerely, *********** General Manager Ron Tonkin Dodge

Complaint: I purchased a vehicle on February 1st from Ron Tonkin Dodge. My husband and I were told there were no mechanical issues with the vehicle. 22 days later the vehicle is not longer running and needs a new transmission. The service department said it wasn't anything we did it's something that occurred over time with the vehicle. Now I am being charged $2,100.00 for a vehicle we had for 22 days. We asked them to work with us since we had the vehicle for such a short period. We're being told there is nothing they could do. This is our only vehicle. We cannot afford this as we just financed the car. So now we have monthly payments on a vehicle we cannot fix or drive. Ron Tonkin did not disclose the mechanical problems.
Desired Settlement: Make a deal/settlement on the car repair that is fair since we were sold a broken car.

Complaint: I returned a car I bought after two weeks because I realize it didn't have air conditioning which is one of the things I requested when I was talking to the sales person. I felt I was pressured into buying a second car I didn't want. They said that was I best they could do because of my budget. If they couldn't give me what I wanted the first time they should of told me. They got my trade in and $1500.00 and I felt very pressured and now I have a car that's more money than I wanted to send and I don't like it. They need to stand by what they sell.

Throughout the entire process working with ****** ******** the Sales Consultant, **** ******* New Car Sales Manager and ** ***** Finance Manager, *** *********** showed a lot of excitement about the Avenger and made the decision to purchase the vehicle. We have not heard from here since she purchased the Avenger until we received this complaint. Our General Sales Manager, ***** ******* upon receiving the complaint, called the customer in an attempt to resolve the matter and left a message for her to call him back. At this writing, he has not received a response back from *** ***********. Sincerely, ***** ***** General Manager Ron Tonkin Dodge Final Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2013/12/22) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) I was not happy with the vehicle that they had chosen for me after I had return with the car I bought that didn't have air conditioning. I told them several times in the almost five hours that I was their trying to fix this problem that I didn't like the Dodge Avenger it was to big and I didn't feel comfortable driving it and it was more money than I wanted to spend. I wanted to keep my payment around $250 a month now the second car was going to cost $316 a month. They said that was the best they could do. I asked again before signing the paperwork if I had any other choices they said no again at this point I didn't feel I had any other choice I needed a car and they already had my trade in and $1500 cash. I left very upset and in tears and I didn't show a lot of excitement as Shun Cooper has stated in his reply. I'm still not happy and I'm sure how to fix this mess.

The Imixs Workflow Project consists of different subprojects components with different releases. The following section gives an overview how release management and versioning is handled in this project.
The release Number is separated into three digits.
2. 0. 1 | | |-- minor version | |-------- major version |-------------- main version
The main version number indicates the general main release of the imixs workflow. This number did not change very often. Typical this number will be increase when a gerenal redesign of the Imixs-Workflow-API is done.
You can not mix artifacts or components with different main versions!
The major version number is for general grouping the different artifacts and modules. Major versions are often started when a new technolgie is used or a main technology changed. For example switching from JEE5 to JEE6 can lead to an increase of the version number. As we use Maven as the general build and configuration framework major versions are typical reflected in dependencies. So for example the Imixs-Workflow-JEE-Impl depends on the Imixs-Workflow-JEE with the same major version.
You should not mix artifacts or components with different major versions.
The minor version number is for bug fixes, enhancements and feature requests. If possible artifacts and components with different minor versions should work togehter.</p>
Since version 2.1.0 the release management process is managed through the configuration and build framework Maven. Each subproject of the Imixs Workflow project contains a release management section in its pom.xml based on the maven-release-plugin. So the process of promoting a new release is a half automated process controlled by the Maven release plugin. See the brief instruction below.
The results are distributed to the follwoing repository locations with can be added to the settings.xml file of your maven setup:
This repository should be only used if snapshot releases are necessary for a specific build.
This repository contains all released artifacts from the imixs project. Commonly this repository is not necessary as all releases are published into the Maven central repository.
This is the default central repository used by maven without further configuration.
Each repository location can be added to the settings.xml configuration file from a local maven installation (typical located in ~/.m2/settings.xml)
General access to the snapshot releases and staging database:
The following brief instruction describes how to promote a new release based on the maven release plugin.
First of all the pom.xml of the subproject should fulfill all necesary informations to be deployed to the maven central repository Read details: https://docs.sonatype.com/display/NX/OSS+Repository+Hosting
Important informations are the scm tag and the maven-release-plugin configuration
The scm uris should point to the trunk folder of the subproject. E.g:
where XXXX is the name of the subproject
Next the maven-release-plugin should provide the configruation tags Base and mavenExecutorId. The tag Base should point to the tags folder. E.g.:
where XXXX is the name of the subproject
The distributionManagement section is necessary if the artefact should be released on sonatyp maven repository central. The section should include the snapshotRepository as also the repository location pointing to the sonatype staging repository:
The pom.xml is already configured for all promoted artifacts. So manual changes should not be necessary.
All existing snapshot dependencies should be remove from the pom.xml before promoting a new release!. For this reason the order of promoting the releases depends on the project dependencies.
After pom.xml is updated the project should be comited and updated with the svn repository. (Using Eclipse IDE it can be necessary to perform a -Team->update command also if no changes are displayed!
This step prepares a new tag and update the current snapshot realease. This can be used for all kinds of maven artefacts, even if the artefact is not released in a maven repository like the sonatype maven central repository. Some of the Imixs modules (e.g. imixs-script) are not part of the maven central repository. In this case only this step is necessary to create a new snapshot version.
After project settings (pom.xml) are verified and data is synchronized with svn use the mvn tool from a command line. Do not! use the eclipse maven plugin m2eclipse because interactive mode is not working reliable From a command line perform the following mvn goals:
mvn clean mvn release:prepare -Duser=xxxx -Dpassword=yyyy
This will tag the current snapshot and update the snapshot release. The user and password can be left by during release:prepare command if you provide these informations in you settings.xml file in the server section.
After step 4 was sucessfull and !only! if your artefact should be released into a maven repository (as for the most imixs artefacts) this step performs a release. Between prepare and perform you should check the svn tags/ folder of the subproject. It should be updated with the release. Also the pom.xml should be updated to the next snapshot version automatically. From a command line perform the following mvn goals:
mvn release:perform
For the release:perform phase you need a gpg key. See Making GPG keys.
If you were not prompted during release:perform to enter your gpg passphrase you can also use the following command to provide maven with your gpg password:
mvn release:perform -Darguments=-Dgpg.passphrase="xxxxxx"
The gpg key is typical stored in the users home directory (for Linux .~/gnugp) If a problem occurs first clean the release:
mvn release:clean
Next remove the generated new tag version
Uno changes to the pom.xml - in most cases the version should be replaced with the old snapshot version. After all you can repeat the steps explained before.
This step is only necessary if step 5 was performed. A imixs artefact is typically release during the prepare phase into the sonatype maven central repository. You need finally check the http://oss.sonatype.org staging repository and 'close' and 'release' your artefact manually using the sonatype frontend.
The Release should be published during the next 6 hours

'Breaking Bread and Barriers': Storytelling Connects Personal Immigration Experiences with Scripture
Here's a glimpse into what's happening around the country on immigration reform:
I am excited about the Justice Revival because it brings the lowly center stage, and we all can be blessed by them. Romans 12:15-16 tells us, "Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly."
"Dallas needs this."
Those are the two statements Aaron Graham (Sojourners' Justice Revival Coordinator) and I heard over and over again as we visited pastors and other community leaders all over the city, lifting up the vision of a Dallas Justice Revival.

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum negotiated rights to distribute Pharming's hereditary angioedema (HAE) therapy, Rhucin® (recombinant human C1 inhibitor; rhC1INH) in 24 EU countries, Norway, Iceland, and Sweden. Rhucin is currently under regulatory review by the EMEA.
Under the terms of the 10-year deal Pharming will receive an undisclosed up-front payment, a regulatory approval milestone, and supply costs including tiered performance-based royalties. Biovitrum will have the right to participate in the future development and distribution of Rhucin for additional indications in the same countries.
"This orphan drug fits in perfectly with our business goals and in our product portfolio," comments Martin Nicklasson, CEO of Biovitrum. "We are very much looking forward to a long-standing partnership with Pharming and the respective growth of both companies."
On April 1, Pharming published studies demonstrating the ability of rhC1INH to prevent antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) following kidney transplantation in a primate model. Earlier this year the firm published other preclinical studies indicating rhC1INH could also be effective in preventing delayed graft function following kidney transplantation. At the time Pharming said that it intended to initiate clinical studies in patients for both these indications during 2010.

By Amma Thanasanti
As meditation practitioners, we are encouraged to notice change, contemplate it regularly, and make friends with it. Certainly, when things that we don't want change, we are happy. We feel gladness not having something irksome continue. We rejoice and we share in each other's gladness. We experience loss when we are faced with letting go of what we love and cherish, hold dear to our hearts. As friends and community, we can support each other as we process grief and sadness and attend to the myriad of other feelings and logistical considerations that accompany loss and change.
I'm writing from Santa Rosa, California where I have been staying since the beginning of June in the lovely home of Susan Carney a mature meditation practitioner and retired Geriatric Social worker who is part of our emergent Santa Rosa community. I'm here helping my dear Mom, Marley, who now at the age of 86, needs more support. Over a few months she lost a lot of sight. Her eye doctor is giving her treatments to slow down the vision loss, but said that what has been lost won't return. It isn't clear yet how effective the treatments are. But what is clear is that Mom needs more support and is planning on moving into an assisted living facility. Gratefully, Mom brings the same qualities to change that she has brought to her whole life, courage, resilience, and a positive attitude. This holds her in good stead as she contemplates moving away from the Santa Rosa Creek Commons, the community that has been the mainstay of her life for the past 16 years.
It is also clear that I want to be here in this last part of her life to enjoy her and to be part of her rich tapestry of friends. I have decided to make Santa Rosa my home base.
Many of you have supported in a myriad of ways through the joys and challenges of Awakening Truth and Shakti Vihara settling in Colorado Springs. You have seen and been part of renovating the vihara and our little community growing. You have heard me speak of my deep connection to the land and the ways that it has been a sturdy support. Yet, if I'm based here in Santa Rosa for the next while, it doesn't make sense to also keep Shakti Vihara in Colorado Springs. It is sad, but the Awakening Truth Board of Directors advised that we would be wise to stop renting there. As Awakening Truth board considers pulling out of Colorado Springs, it has also been discussing ways to grow and make optimum use of our time in Santa Rosa. We are planning a community meeting so that these next steps have your input. The date and time will be forthcoming.
Gratefully, Ayya Dhammadhira has been at Shakti Vihara while I have been away. The community has grown on account of her support. Her plans are to stay through the Vassa summer retreat that ends mid October. I would love it if she stays on after October and continues with her creative ways of bringing together Dhamma, sustainable living and community building. It would bring great joy to my heart if the community in Colorado finds a way to continue to build on what has been created, recognizes the treasures that are present in what Ayya Dhammadhira and the resources the vihara offers and find a way to support her to stay on there. What happens will depend of course, upon what she together with the community, decide. In light of these changes and the Colorado community being invited into discussion about how things unfold, Ayya Dhammadhira will have a community meeting following the regular meditation and reflection on Saturday July 23 from 4-6 PM.
Mom doesn't know yet when she moves. And so the date I return to Colorado is also uncertain. But it is clear that I will be arriving no later than mid August. It is also uncertain when I pack up my things at Shakti Vihara and return to California. If Ayya Dhammadhira and the community decide that they don't want to continue to keep the vihara past October, then we will have a bigger process of sorting, packing, and moving.
Living further away from all of my dear friends in Colorado and not having easy access to the power of the Garden of the Gods and the wild expansive wilderness that is so near the vihara, is a big loss.
At this time, I feel so many blessings and so much is in transition. Joy and sorrow ebb and flow.
Susan, my house mate, welcomes me staying here until the end of the year after which she wants to get her home ready for putting it up for sale. So, rest assured, I have lodging until December.
To be in this peaceful, conducive home with Susan now feels like a heaven sent blessing. Her professional background lends knowledge and skill exactly where I need to support Mom right now. At this stage of her life, it is a gift to have time together. Yet, grief rides on the heals of joy. A few times my anticipatory grief of losing her knocked me sidewise. Weight and heaviness numbed every other feeling and filled me to the brim. I reached out to friends or went to Annandale State Park nearby. Slowly the grip of grief gave way to the pervasiveness of awareness. Shifting focus from all that is changing, I returned to spaciousness. This spaciousness is not time bound. It allows all the feelings to be there; holds me during this time of change. Pervasive awareness allows me to reconnect with the love that is underneath the loss. This love is not limited to time, space, particular power spots in the land, to close proximity to friends or Mom as I know her now. When I touch that, I trust all manner of things shall be well.

I suggest you file a bug, at bugs.gramps-project.org, and be explicit on what you do to trigger it (as you have been here). You should be able to attach your PDFs to the bug, also. I don't remember it anybody has suggested you start gramps in a terminal/console window (just "gramps" should do it), to then see if any error messages also appear there, when you trigger your bug. Be sure to post the output of a "gramps -v" (which you have run in a console/terminal window too) since as has been suggested your problem may well involve gramps interacting with other ("system") things which are on you machine (and whose details the "gramps -v" will capture). That said, such problems are hard to diagnose, unless they can be triggered (by a developer) easily.

When current flows down a wire, work is done, which shows up as Joule heating of the wire (Eq. 7.7). Though there are certainly easier ways to do it, the energy per unit time delivered to the wire can be calculated using the Poynting vector. Assuming it's uniform, the electric field parallel to the wire is
where V is the potential difference between the ends and L is the length of the wire (Fig. 8.1). The magnetic field is "circumferential"; at the surface (radius a) it has the value
Accordingly, the magnitude of the Poynting vector is
and it points radially inward. The energy per unit time passing in through the surface of the wire is therefore
which is exactly what we concluded, on much more direct grounds, in Sect. 126.96.36.199

It won't get higher from me because I feel there is too much tweening.
Now i want to go to ABS an watch the one that came out like 5 years ago. . .
It lacks but you could really do something good in the future if you improve off of this.
I've got to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time ... as john lennon would say (Or was it paul?) anyways...
Thanks for your constructive criticism though... It really does help to hear the good with the bad as long as its not all bad.... its better then just saying it sucks...
Rated 4 / 5 stars
In itself, this is a pretty good flash, but it stands in the awkward position of having to be compared to the first flash I saw to this song, by Spinnerdisc. I'll say up front that the artwork and detailing on your vid is far more advanced, but the charm that Spinnerdisc's video had was that every image fit the song in both timing and words, creating a lovely unity with the music.
This video lacks that.
Oh, it's there occasionally, such as the 'stars' appearing in time with the string plucks, and at a few other junctions, but it's fragmented and creates the sense that the image is only loosely connected to the song, but still stuck here and there with a few erratic seams.
The animation seems 'overly tweened', which is not to say that you used too many tweens, but rather that their use was inexperienced and unsure.
At other times the animation seemed unambitious: I liked the part where the lines suddenly visually transform into strings by being plucked, but any part of the screen at that point where strings aren't being plucked is empty and dead, lacking some extra filling. A bit anticlimactic after such elaborate graphics in the previous moments.
There's plenty potential in there, though. I suggest that you experiment with tweens some more, work on your frame-by-frame a little extra, and experience what I mean by seeing yourself improve.
It shouldn't be too hard, but that doesn't mean it's not going to take time and effort.
Good luck!

Flight Of The Phoenix: Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst takes to the stage in sequin leotard with train for G-A-Y performance
She has achieved worldwide fame since winning Eurovision 2014 singing Rise Like a Phoenix.
So it was only a matter of time before she flew to the stage of one of London's most famous nightclubs, G-A-Y.
Austrian Conchita Wurst, whose real name is Tom Neuwirth, gave a dazzling performance at the club in London on Saturday night, and was even introduced to the stage by new showbiz pal Graham Norton.
Scroll down for video
Show time: Conchita looked thrilled to be performing for the huge crowd at G-A-Y
Conchita clearly relinquished her time to perform at the club, which has also welcomed the likes of Kylie Minogue and Miley Cyrus to the stage, giving an energetic performance before leaving the stage with a bouquet of flowers.
The singer is clearly feeling at home in the UK as she tweeted on Saturday: 'Waking in london feels so good! It's like my 2nd home already good Morning to #theunstoppables'
Earlier in the evening Conchita's interview with chat show host Graham Norton was aired, who also showed his support for the singer by attending the nightclub to watch her perform.
The winner takes it all: Eurovision winner Conchita looked very at home on the stage in her glitzy cut out dress
Show stopping: Conchita made a glitzy impression in her black sequin dress
She revealed in the interview that Elton John and his partner Dave Furnish sent her a bouquet to congratulate her on her win, and even a Tweet from superstar Cher:
'I was so excited to receive the tweet, which said, 'darling you deserve a lovelier name and better wig'. Cher, THE Cher, tweeted me,' she revealed.
G-A-Y manager Jeremy Joseph told the MailOnline: 'The moment she won the contest having her perform was a must.
'When she won my twitter feed went mad, it was thanks to Graham that we got her last night, her performance was phenomenal, it was fantastic and she was incredible.'
Legs eleven: Conchita showed off her long slim pins in her flamboyant stage outfit
Huge fan: Graham Norton introduced the performer, having interviewed her on his show
Party time: Confetti topped off Conchita's dazzling performance on Saturday night
Flower power: Conchita looked thrilled with her flowers after her performance
The 25-year-old singer also spoke out about her plans for the future:
'Our society is so fast so I'm going to sit back and choose wisely. I will have to make new stuff. My goal is a Grammy so my songs will have to be good,' she said.
'I have cast myself in the role of host at Eurovision next year in Vienna.'
And she said she was still to mark the contest win properly as she continues to rest, almost a week after the final, adding: 'I slept. I haven't celebrated yet.'
Powerful: It was clear to see why Conchita took the winning title at this years Eurovision contest
Firm friends: Graham Norton has become a huge Conchita fan since interviewing the performer on his show

NEW YORK - Occupy Wall Street protesters celebrated the movement's anniversary on Monday by clogging intersections in the city's financial district, marching to the beat of drums that were a familiar refrain last year.
Protesters roamed around the lower Manhattan financial district all morning in groups of a few dozen each, from one intersection to another and back again, chanting loudly about the ills of Wall Street. In total, there were a few hundred protesters scattered throughout the city. More than 180 of them were arrested by Monday evening, mostly on disorderly conduct charges.
The day's events lacked the heft of Occupy protests last year, when protesters gathered by the thousands. But Occupiers were upbeat as they spread out in their old stomping grounds, giddy at the prospect of being together again. They brushed off any suggestions that the movement had petered out.

This Article Covers
Tom Marlow, from Saffron Walden in Essex, has been looking at the obscure subject of doubly truncatable primes. For example, taking the prime 1373 (and allowing 1 to be classed as a prime number) he finds that successively curtailing it first from the left and then from the right, produces the series 373 73 3, 137 13 and 1.

These six extra numbers are all prime, so Tom has designated 1373 as a seven-fold prime. Strangely enough, if these four digits are rearranged to give firstly 3137, and secondly 7331, then in both cases double truncation provides a series of primes. So these two new numbers are also seven-fold in character. These three four-digit primes seem to be the only ones of their size that have this property.
All this leads to Mr Marlow asking: "Which is the only five-digit prime that is double truncatable, ie to provide a nine-fold property?"

Is Sell-Side Research More Valuable in Bad Times?

Fisher College of Business Working Paper No. 2013-03-19
Because uncertainty is high in bad times, investors find it harder to assess firm prospects and, hence, should value analyst output more. However, higher uncertainty makes the tasks of analysts harder so it is not clear if analyst output is more valuable in bad times. We find that, in bad times, recommendation and earnings forecast revisions have larger stock-price impact and earnings forecasts are more precise after adjusting for the higher ex ante uncertainty. Further, analysts make more revisions, write longer reports, and their recommendations have larger peer-firm impact. These results are consistent with analysts working harder in bad times.

Mexico International Reserves Fell to $161.1 Billion Last Week
Mexico's international reserves fell to $161.1 billion in the week ended Sept. 14, the central bank reported today on its website.
Reserves registered a net decrease of $201 million, the bank said, after dropping $17 million the previous week.
Mexico's reserves have climbed 13 percent this year, giving central bank Governor Agustin Carstens greater leeway to intervene in the foreign exchange market to buoy the peso if needed. The currency on June 1 touched its weakest against the dollar since March 2009 on concern Europe's sovereign debt crisis would damp global economic growth.
Mexico uses dollar auctions to limit daily declines in the peso after it tumbled 11 percent against the dollar in 2011, the most among major Latin American currencies. Since November, the central bank has been offering $400 million daily at an exchange rate that's at least 2 percent weaker than the previous day.
This year, the peso has strengthened 8.9 percent against the dollar, the most among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
