Miss Manners rescues civilization: from sexual harassment, frivolous lawsuits, dissing, and other lapses in civilityIn an era of American history that has shown a heightened sensitivity toward the ideals of democracy, self-expression, freedom, and individual rights, we are paradoxically experiencing a breakdown in our nation's ability to function as a civil people. From athletes who shout obscenities on national television to surgeons who blast their favorite music while operating, from gang members who kill those who've "dissed" them to mourners who treat funerals casually, we trample over the rights of others in a savage pursuit of individual agendas. We have cashed in etiquette (yes, the "E word") for a generous helping of self-importance, and the exchange is crippling our ability to function as a civil society. In her ground-breaking new book,MISS MANNERS RESCUES CIVILIZATION: From Sexual Harassment, Frivolous Lawsuits, Dissing and Other Lapses in Civility, Judith Martin puts etiquette on the public agenda in response to our nation's cry for a return to civility. A thought-provoking book that calls on etiquette to champion the quest for civil decency, MISS MANNERS RESCUES CIVILIZATION discusses the futility of using the law to correct our ever-increasing list of societal offenses cluttering the courts and declaring new laws has proved to be both costly and ineffective. However, a rebirth of good manners places the privileges and challenges of a civil society back where it belongs in the hands of the individual. This witty, thoughtful, and timely book responds to the public cry for a return to civility and puts etiquette on an equal plane with morality as society's most powerful guiding force. |

Fearful of their country's ongoing civil war, a Syrian mother and son have gained asylum in the United States, thanks to West Virginia University College of Law students and professors.
The clients, who prefer to remain anonymous, endured harassment and lived in a dangerous part of the country, where "bullets whizzed by their home" at any given moment.
Four students with the College of Law's Immigration Clinic helped the family gain asylum, adding to a list of cases the students have won since the clinic was created in 1996.
"The mother couldn't leave the house," said Dominque Razzook, a third-year law student who worked on the case. "She spent most of her time in the bathroom of her house hiding.
"She came home from work one day when supporters of the government regime attacked members of the community in the street with large sticks. She ran away and fell down, bruising her eye."
The Syrian civil war grew out of the Arab Spring movement in March 2011 as a conflict between forces loyal to the Ba'ath Party and those seeking to oust it. Since then, as many as 56,000 people have been killed — half of them civilians.
About 1.2 million Syrians have also been displaced within the country, according to the United Nations, and tens of thousands have been imprisoned and tortured.
"It is precisely this kind of case, and this kind of success, that makes our sometimes painstaking and difficult work so worthwhile," said Michael Blumenthal, co-director of the clinic and visiting professor at the College of Law, "and our sincere congratulations and appreciation go out to all those who worked on this case under severe end-of-the-semester time constraints and pressures."
The son came to the United States on a student visa to pursue a college education. He had hoped to take knowledge earned in the U.S. back to the Middle East, but those goals took a drastic turn with the emergence of the war.
His mother came to visit him in the U.S. during an outbreak of violence in Syria. Because of the dire situation at home, she decided to stay.
In an affidavit, the son described how several of his friends, who peacefully protested in Syria, were tortured and killed by the government.
"My friend since middle school and a past roommate was shot and killed by a sniper after trying to deliver food and medicine to the damaged neighborhoods in Syria," the client wrote. "So, not only are (Syrian President Bashar) al-Assad's forces murdering the political protesters, they are also murdering those who merely provide aid to the victims of this violence."
The client also said a friend who rode around in his car to protest through a loudspeaker was detained and tortured to death by police. Another friend was arrested for possessing signs that said "Free Syria" and "Stop Killing the People." He, too, was detained and killed.
"Understandably, no one wants to go back to the chaos there," Blumenthal said. "Their lives would've been in danger if they'd gone back. We were determined to help them out."
"People currently living in the neighborhood where the mother lived are now living in abandoned schools with no food, water or electricity," Razzook said. "To get water for drinking, these people have resorted to collecting rain water. If she were to return to Syria, she would likely be living in a school under similar conditions. She also could be arrested upon her arrival and held hostage."
The Immigration Clinic has served international residents throughout West Virginia and western Pennsylvania with deportation, asylum and other legal proceedings. Over the years, students have won political asylum cases for clients from Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt and other countries. Earlier this year, law school students gained asylum for Yuri Pushkarev, a Russian blogger who had been critical of President Vladimir Putin and fearful that his country's government would retaliate.
Immigrants must meet certain poverty guidelines to receive help from the clinic. It operates only during the fall and spring semesters.
"It is a great source of satisfaction to the clinic and our students that we are able to successfully support clients with very little in the way of financial and other resources in claiming their rights against an enormous bureaucracy with massive resources," Blumenthal said. "Many of these people would be left without recourse but for our assistance, and I'm extremely proud of our students for having successfully taken on so many of these cases against sometimes appreciable odds, and requiring a great deal of administrative and other work."
The clinic was the brainchild of James J. Friedberg, its former director and the Hale J. and Roscoe P. Posten professor of law at the College of Law. Friedberg founded the project at the urging of his international law and human rights students as a volunteer pro bono undertaking. He then turned the project into a clinical course.
Not only do the clients benefit, but so do law students, who gain real-world experience by working on actual cases.
In addition to Razzook, other law students to work on the Syrian case were George Junkins, Lorena Waddell and Greg Pennington.
"It's a great feeling helping them on the pathway to citizenship," Razzook said. "They're really great people. The mother cooked us a bunch of food and we had a celebration."
After graduation, Razzook hopes to become an immigration lawyer. Her father is from Iraq and her grandparents are from Germany and Russia.
"I'm an American of immigrants," she said. "That, and seeing the result of our work in the clinic, definitely fuels my interest in immigration law."

Overview | What do you mean when you say you own something? In this class, we will begin by exploring some of the purposes of property as well as some of its basic concepts. We will then turn to the ways that people acquire property, through actions like simple possession, and (more commonly) purchase from other owners. Next we will make the subject more complicated, taking up divided uses of property like landlord-tenant law, easements and covenants as well as planned communities and other forms of "private governance." We will conclude with obligations imposed by law on property owners–obligations to the neighbors as well as to the public at large. |

Ira Township Park
Fair Haven, Michigan 1 course · 9 holes Driving directions
Course reviews
+1 votes donald wilson › September 28, 2012
Very new course.... therefore well marked. Hopefully upkeep is kept up. Marked better than anyother course I have played. Short hole options, makes for beginners to play? Very unforgiving course. If not good throw light. Lots of poison ivy and thorns. Went for long drives and spent a lot of time digging threw very thick brush. Take your time and appreciate the course. There are open holes to try long drives but don't push it you will lose discs and it being a new course you won't find lost others..

Located just a 1/2 mile from Lake St. Clair. The course is a great example of how a disc golf course can be built almost anywhere.
10 custom-made baskets will bring back the old-school disc golf memories.
9 holes with duel tees will give everyone a chance to try their best shots, regardless of skill level.
Not real easy or super difficult but you'll likely learn your lesson if you go off the fairways and into some thorns, poison ivy, and dense brush.
Practice area coming soon ...

The day we went, the mosquitoes were thicker than anything I've ever encountered, The course is a mix of manicured and massively overgrown, depending on which hole and where along the way. All baskets are unbroken, but they seem to be a little higher poking out of the ground than my home course (Holland Woods). The "Jesus Thorn" trees are brutal and if you lose a disc, look up! Those thorn trees catch, grab, and hold anything they can grab. I shook the trees to get mine. Also, on Hole 3 have a s ...

the only thing i would fix is the tee pads, need concrete and good length tee pads, much like stoney's length. otherwise, im glad i found this close course.
+0 votes Nicholas Lalko › September 30, 2013
Solid course. I am reviewing this based off of it only being 9 holes which does kinda suck but what can you do.. I used to live next to stony creek but moved out to Algonac so I have to make do. Anyway, I did enjoy this course, nice place to practice ur mid/putting skills. Few slight elevation changes and some hook shots with a few narroways. Overall fun quick course, I'd rec running through it twice b/c it only takes 25 mins to finish. Def needs T-pads and the baskets are light on chains. Worth a look though! I'd play again.

United States Senator
March 17, 2011
Opening Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee,
Executive Business Meeting
March 17, 2011
I was pleased to add to our agenda for today the Sunshine in the Courtroom bill that is led by Senator Grassley and Senator Schumer. This is Sunshine Week and earlier this week a number of Senators participated in our hearing on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Yesterday, I also introduced with Senator Cornyn our Faster FOIA legislation, which this Committee has previously considered and which the Senate passed last year, to establish a bipartisan Commission to study FOIA and to make recommendations to Congress on ways to further improve our premier open government law. I hope the Senate will again pass our bill and that the House of Representatives will do so, as well.
Today we should be taking up Senator Whitehouse's bill to assist families whose homes are being threatened by foreclosure.
We also have the opportunity to consider six of the President's judicial nominees and the renomination of the Deputy Attorney General, which was blocked last year. For the second time, the Committee considers the nomination of Jim Cole to be Deputy Attorney General, the number two position at the Department of Justice. I cannot think of a time when the Senate was prevented from acting on a President's nomination of the Deputy Attorney General and this Committee was required to reconsider such a nomination.
When we first reported Jim Cole's nomination last July, I said that I hoped the Senate would treat his nomination to this critical national security and law enforcement position with the same urgency and seriousness with which we treated all four of the Deputy Attorneys General who served under President Bush. All four were confirmed by the Senate by voice vote an average of 21 days after they were reported by the Judiciary Committee. In fact, we confirmed President Bush's first nomination to be Deputy Attorney General the day it was reported by the Committee. That is not the treatment that Deputy Attorney General Cole received.
The nomination was pending last year for five months while Republican Senators objected time and time again to calling it up for a vote. I believe that Mr. Cole would have been confirmed by the Senate had his nomination been given an up-or-down vote. I believe he should be confirmed. As it was, after the Senate did not take final action on the nomination, President Obama exercised his authority after the Senate had recessed for the year to recess appoint him in order to make sure this critical national security and law enforcement post was filled, and promptly renominated him when Congress returned this year.
This is not a nomination that should have been controversial. It is a nomination supported by former Republican Senator Jack Danforth, who worked with Jim Cole for more than 15 years. When he introduced Mr. Cole at his confirmation hearing, Senator Danforth described Mr. Cole as someone without an ideological or political agenda. I agree. Jim Cole served as a career prosecutor at the Justice Department for a dozen years and has a well-deserved reputation for fairness, integrity and toughness. He has demonstrated that he understands the issues of crime and national security that are at the center of the Deputy Attorney General's job. Nothing suggests that he will be anything other than a steadfast defender of America's safety and security.
Mr. Cole has now testified before the Committee at his confirmation hearing, answered written questions following his hearing, answered further written questions sent to him by Senator Grassley and Senator Coburn last November and has now answered an additional round of written follow-up questions this year. It is time to report this nomination, again, and time for the Senate to act.
In a letter sent last December to Senate Leaders, former Deputy Attorneys General of the United States who served in both Republican and Democratic administrations urged the Senate to consider Mr. Cole's nomination without further delay. These former officials who served with distinction in that post wrote that the Deputy is "the chief operating officer of the Department of Justice, supervising its day-to-day operations" and that "the Deputy is also a key member of the president's national security team, a function that has grown in importance and complexity in the years since the terror attacks of September 11." As the former Deputies, three of whom served under President George W. Bush, noted in their letter: "Because of the responsibilities of the position of Deputy Attorney General, votes on nomination for this position usually proceed quickly." They were right. I wish the Senate had heeded their advice and voted to confirm Mr. Cole last year.
Mr. Cole's critics have been wrong to try to blame him for the actions of AIG. His limited role was as an outside monitor of other corporate functions and there is no showing he did not perform his assignment well. Let us hold those responsible at AIG accountable. Not a single person at AIG has been. There is no basis for making Mr. Cole the scapegoat for the action of AIG. Blame the AIG agents and employees, blame its officers, blame it board, even criticize the lack of oversight by state and Federal regulators and law enforcement officials if you like. But scapegoating this good man is wrong. As The Washington Post observed in an editorial last year when Mr. Cole's nomination was being blocked on the Senate floor: "There is no suggestion that Mr. Cole suffers from the kind of ethical or legal problems that would disqualify a nominee." Senator Danforth's endorsement was unequivocal, as well.
This nomination has received strong endorsements from Republican and Democratic public officials and from high-ranking veterans of the Justice Department, including the letter from the eight former Deputy Attorneys General who served in the administrations of President Reagan, President George H.W. Bush, and President George W. Bush.
I hope other Members of this Committee, Democratic and Republican, will join me in supporting the nomination of Jim Cole.
I thank Senator Grassley for working with me to schedule the Committee's consideration of the Cole nomination without an additional, unnecessary hearing.

Poll: Americans Want 'Crash' for Best Picture
Harris Poll finds Americans support 'Crash,' 'Walk the Line' stars
According to a semi-scientific poll of 1016 demographically diverse Americans conducted via phone by the Harris Poll people, 20 percent of all people polled said that "Crash" should win best picture at Sunday (March 5) night's Oscars. "Brokeback Mountain" finished a distant second with 13 percent of the vote, followed by "Good Night, and Good Luck" with 10 percent apiece. "Capote" was the longshot with a paltry four percent, though the four straggling nominees finished behind both "Crash" and the surprisingly popular "None of these" option (18 percent).
"Crash" drew the support of people of all types including women (21 percent), men (18 percent), African-Americans (42 percent), Hispanics (28 percent), Democrats (28 percent) and Republicans (18 percent). It should be noted that the actual winner with men and Republicans was "None of these." Republican men are just tough to please.
"Brokeback Mountain" can take solace in two important things: First, among people aged 61 and over, "Brokeback" beat "Crash" 13 percent to three percent ("Good Night" actually won in that age range with 15 percent). Second, and perhaps most importantly, all these people consulted by the Harris Poll? They don't get a real vote.
Among Harris respondents, Joaquin Phoenix of "Walk the Line" was the easy best actor choice with 32 percent, beating "Brokeback" star Heath Ledger, who has 15 percent. Although he's considered a prohibitive favorite to win the Oscar, Philip Seymour Hoffman of "Capote" got only eight percent. Oh and Terrence Howard of "Hustle & Flow" may have only received two percent of the support from white folks, but he got 40 percent of the African-American vote.
On the best actress side, 43 percent of the people Harris talked to supported Reese Witherspoon of "Walk the Line." Nobody else was really close in any demographic or age range.

May 27th 2001 my doctor gave me the option to come in on a SundayPosted On Thursday, June 20, 2002 by Gina |
May 27th 2001 my doctor gave me the option to come in on a Sunday morning and be induced because I had gone past my due date (My first child at 28 years old). I joked with my husband on the way to the doctor that we should just turn around and go eat breakfast instead of having the baby that day. For about 10 days before, I had experiences violent stomach pain. I called the doctors office every day. The nurses would tell me to take Tylenol, that I was just "real" pregnant, and being a petite person, all my organs were crowded. One night I could not stand the pain, so we went to ER. They hooked me up to a baby monitor and checked my blood pressure and my cervix. They said the baby was fine and they gave me a "relaxer" pill to help the pain, then sent me home. When I saw the doctor for my weekly visit, he said it could be my gallbladder, still they did not do any tests on me. So there we were a few days later at the Hospital, having my water broke. The doctor told me to walk around to get labor started. (this was after they took my blood for the FIRST time) The doctor came up to us shortly after, looking a little pale and worried, he said I was a very sick girl, and that I had HELLP Syndrome. He explained to me and my family that my blood was not clotting and that I would need a blood transfusion and platelets. And that I needed an emergency C-section within the hour. I was terrified after having to sign a paper saying that if I got HIV or Hepatitis C that the Hospital was not to be held responsible. I was angry and frightened. How could the doctors let it get this far? Why didn't I have a blood test earlier? Why did everyone SPECULATE as to what the pain was? I had the symptoms, severe swelling and abdominal pain. All I remember after that was seeing my mom crying and my husband getting ready to go in for surgery with me. I then heard the doctor say, "look Gina, look at your baby." I had just come out of surgery. I was to sick to hold my baby, or even see him. Thank god he was a healthy 9 pound baby boy. The hospital stay was miserable for me. I remember my husband feeding me ice for hours. I also remember the empty feeling I felt when I woke up one night in my hospital bed alone. I was to sick to take care of my baby or even see him. I felt that the doctors had robbed me from this precious time I could be spending with my baby, time that I could never get back again. I was allowed to leave the hospital after the 3rd day. Finally I could try to make up some time with my baby. Still I was not feeling any better until around 2 weeks. Now, a year later my son is healthy, as far as I know. I'm still wondering if Hellp Syndrome can have any effects on the baby years later? Or me? I have had a few pains in my abdomen like I had when I was pregnant, but again the doctor says I'm fine. Should I believe him, this time? |
After surviving a very traumatic first pregnancy with a nightmare delivery (30 hours of magnesium-induced hell, ending in an emergency c-section) and even more debilitating recovery, one would think I was DONE having children. Let's be ...

Factors* affecting the property identified in previous reports
Proposed construction of a highway
Corrective Measures
Current conservation issues
The Bureau noted that IUCN had conducted an impact study and recommended that the proposed new road should not go through the Park but be rerouted around the northern boundaries of the Park.
The Bureau was also informed of the fact that the study was being reviewed by the donor financing the road construction project (German bilateral aid agency) and the project also had implications for the ecology of the region.
In a press release dated 30 September, the German Federal Minister for Economic Co-operation announced his decision against German participation in the construction of the last part of the Kisangani-Bukani Road if increased traffic will endanger species within the Kahuzi-Biega National Park. The Minister recognized the fact that the Kahuzi-Biega National Park had been given World Heritage Status by UNESCO and reiterated the need to find a solution whereby the road would not go through the Park but could be deviated around the Park. The German Parliament confirmed this decision by letter of 16 October to the Secretariat. The Minister's decision was influenced by the evaluation made by IUCN and the Minister also mentioned that German aid had already been provided for the conservation of Kahuzi-Biega National Park and the improvement of living conditions of people in surrounding areas, combining development and environmental protection interests.
Analysis and Conclusion
Link to the decision
Kahuzi Biega National Park (Zaire)
The Committee was glad to note that the Government of Zaire and the German Ministry for Co-operation (BMZ) have dropped plans to construct a road through this Park. The Committee commended the Government of Zaire for its decision and encouraged the BMZ to continue its technical co-operation to strengthen protection of the Kahuzi Biega National Park.

Inscription on the Danger List
Year: 1997Threats to the Site:
Grave concern that portions of the Kahuzi-Biega National Park had been deforested and that hunting had been reported there, as well as war and civil strife ravaging the country, led the World Heritage Committee to inscribe the property on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
The property has been much affected by the influx of refugees. Park facilities had been looted and destroyed, and most of the park staff have fled the area. The park may also be serving as a hideout for large militia groups, as well as for illegal settlers. This has led to fires, increased poaching and the illegal removal and burning of timber.

The threats indicated are listed in alphabetical order; their order does not constitute a classification according to the importance of their impact on the property.
Furthermore, they are presented irrespective of the type of threat faced by the property, i.e. with specific and proven imminent danger ("ascertained danger") or with threats which could have deleterious effects on the property's Outstanding Universal Value ("potential danger").

If the iRiver Clix looks familiar, that's because it's simply an improved version of the iRiver U10. You get the same cool, miniature TV-like design and great features, alongside an enhanced user interface and superb integration with Windows Media Player 11.
We hesitate to call anything perfect, but iriver comes close with the Clix. Available for around £110 for the 2GB and £140 for the 4GB, the Clix is much more competitively priced than its predecessor. Of course, we'd love to see a 6GB or 8GB version in the near future, but if you're looking for a WMA device and don't need more than 4GB of storage, check out this MP3 player -- we love it.
Early and late adopters, as well as design heads, will fall in love with the iRiver Clix's clean, futuristic look. The compact player measures 69mm by 46mm by 15mm, weighs 71g and features a bright and colourful 56mm (2.2-inch) display with 320x240-pixel resolution.
While there are a few small buttons on the sides, users navigate the interface by pressing the four sides of the display itself. This tactile control method -- iRiver refers to it as the D-Click (thus, Clix) -- combined with graphical arrows that point you in the right direction, is both intuitive and logical. Indeed, compared to previous iRiver interfaces, the Clix's is refreshingly simple and easy on the eyes. It reminds us of the Olympus M:robe 500i, except that the iRiver Clix is much smaller and doesn't have a touch-sensitive screen -- a good thing. The one downside to the interface is that, while one-handed operation in possible, two-handed operation is ergonomically preferable and results in fewer smudges onscreen.
Around the edges of the iRiver Clix, you'll find the remainder of the controls. On the top are the too-tiny dedicated volume buttons, along with a pinhole mic. The right side features the power button and a smart key, which acts as a shortcut to a feature of your choice -- it can take you to the main menu, play and pause music, shuffle all tracks, start and stop recording or flip the interface 90 degrees for viewing in either landscape or portrait modes.
A hold switch on the bottom of the player rounds out the controls. Beside this switch are the Reset hole and the proprietary dock connector -- iRiver bundles its own USB cable to charge the player and transfer content. The headphone jack is on the left side, and a decent set of iPod-looking headphones (white to match the Clix and accessories) comes in the package. There's also a printed manual and a quick-start disc that includes Windows Media Player (WMP) 11.
Using the Clix within WMP 11 is a wonderful experience. Even though the software is in beta and needs to work out some bugs, we had no problems syncing content to and from the player. WMP makes device management even simpler with its new gas-gauge feature, which offers a visual representation of how much space is left on the device as you drag media content to the sync window.
Once you get some content on to the Clix, it's a breeze to use and a pleasure to look at. The main menu, to which you can return at any time by clicking and holding the left side, lists seven options -- Extras, FM Radio, Now Playing, Music, Pictures, Videos and Settings -- and each word magnifies and lights up as you scroll over it.
Once in the Music submenu, you can view content by playlist, artist, song, album or genre. Within those submenus, the screen lists seven selections as you scroll through. The playback screen is lovely, with album art displayed to the left of the track name, the song length and time elapsed, the rating (out of five stars), the artist name and year and the album title. Beneath this info, some faded-out text announces what song is coming next -- very cool.

Red Stereo But Green Cluster Backlighting...is This Right?
Posted 18 February 2013 - 12:56 AM
An uncle of mine has just picked up a C-Max, I'm not sure what year or spec it is, just know it's around an 06 and it's a 1.6TDCi.
Had a quick look inside this evening as I was giving him a crash course on his new Parrot kit, and just noticed something that I wasn't sure was right. He knows little about it himself, so wasn't gonna go throwin doubts in his head about his new car until I sought a bit of clarification myself.
Basically, I noticed that the stereo fitted is the standard Ford 6000CD, but in silver with red backlighting, and the rest of the dash panels have red backlighting as well. But the instrument cluster is all green backlit. And the multi-function stalk is fitted, same as I have in my Focus allowing me to browse through the trip-comp, range etc, but the buttons do nothing on his cluster.
Is this all normal, that the green backlit cluster without trip-comp options should be fitted even though the rest of the dash is backlit red and the multi-function stalk is in place?
Perhaps over-worrying a little on this, but would just like to know as I'd worry about mileage correction if the cluster has been swapped out!
Any advice is much appreciated, thanks!

I'd think the a cluster swap is much more likely than carrying out the other two options. Was just wondering if any other owners have the same set-up, was thinkin it could have been an issue if it's build-date was right around the time of a small facelift.
Might go straight to his mechanic who sourced it for him then, rather than put any fear into him that he may have bought somethin not 100%!
Posted 19 February 2013 - 03:12 PM
I recon they probably sent their cluster off for an LED conversion, it failed, the cluster was fudged, and as a result they had to replace it and didnt bother finishing the conversion...
Posted 19 February 2013 - 04:19 PM
I agree with what you're sayin about the benefits of a cluster change, in that the original one may have been giving grief, but the downside is that I don't know now if the mileage has been corrected so it could have done a lot more than it's showing!
As I mentioned, my uncle doesn't have a big interest and was happy to let his mechanic source it and take his word on it. I think I'll take a closer look myself at any previous MOTs and service stamps to try check if the mileage all adds up.
Here's a pic by the way to make sure I've been clear in what I've been trying to explain...
Posted 20 February 2013 - 03:42 PM
I might have a few credits left for a "HPI" check website, which will give you some things, you would have to buy a credit or two to check the MOT history... But when I bought my car, I did this. I thought 440000 was far too low a mileage for a 55 plate, but it seems according to the MOT history its not
Drop me a PM If you fancy taking the offer up and I will have to dig around and find the details and see if the credits are still valid...
Posted 20 February 2013 - 06:09 PM
I thought 440000 was far too low a mileage for a 55 plate...
Think it's a tad high myself, haha!
Sorry, couldn't resist that one. Thanks very much for the kind offer mate, but you've actually just reminded me that I have two lives myself on a car checker! Same as you, I bought one when I got my car and paid the extra couple of quid to get another two checks, so I'll use one of those. Thanks for reminding me!
Only thing is, over on this side of the pond I'm not sure they keep such an accurate record of MOT/Tax mileages, so mightn't be able to tell for sure. Is worth a try though.
By the way, would the cluster be easily exchangeable with an updated one? Stickin with a diesel obviously, and I'm sure the removal would just involve a few screws and trim panels, but would there be any wiring issues?
And one other thing...the car has a driver's armrest but the teeth on the ratchet must be worn as it won't stay at any position. I've read up on a fix for this, but would the upgraded centre console with integrated armrest and storage console be an easy upgrade as well?
Thanks again in advance and for you help so far!
Posted 21 February 2013 - 05:43 AM
as for the cluster, I have no personal experience with it, but believe that it is fairly simple to remove the cluster.
As for the console upgrade, its a few screws to be honest! its probably simpler for the short term, then you can fix the current one in your own time!

what to do with grade b tahitian vanilla beans?
hey chowhounds,
i ordered some madagascar vanilla beans online. they arrived yesterday along with ten (small but free!) grade b tahitian vanilla beans.
i am planning to make madagascar vanilla extract (four beans/1 cup vodka) and then baking/cooking with the rest of the madagascar beans.
what should i do with the tahitian beans? can i MIX the beans when making extract? (i don't think so) ... should i make a separate extract?
You could use some vanilla bean to flavor maple syrup or even simple syrup. The vanilla flavored simple syrup could be used in your coffee, mixed drinks, tea and whatever you have a mind to use it. I suspect that fancy syrup you can buy at starbucks is just corn syrup and vanilla flavoring, you can use the real thing.
You could infuse honey with some vanilla bean. It would be wonderful. Any of these syrups would make great gifts too.
I would think some milk powder and water infused with vanilla would be a good home made creamer.
hi all,
thank you SO much for the great responses...i may try making a small batch of extract with the tahitian beans and then another batch with the madagascar beans just to see the difference...
re: lilaki
Not entirely related, but somewhat - and I can't find a separate thread on this (please direct me to one if I've missed it), but where is the best place to buy vanilla beans? They're a fortune at Whole Foods, so I was hoping to buy some online, but I'm not really sure what kind to buy or who from.
This seems almost too good to be true - 25 beans for $10?
http://www.topvanilla.com/index.html?gclid=CMeK09Hg2pwCFQtN5QoddRDBIwAnd Beanilla sells theirs on Amazon, are they a good source?
http://www.beanilla.com/vanilla-beans...I've never cooked with vanilla beans before, but I really want to make my own extract and a few vanilla bean baked items. Thanks!
re: MPJ
No need to break the bank on top quality, fresh vanilla beans or saffron.
This is my go to source and the gal who runs the company is a v-bean rockstar! -
re: MPJ
I bought mine on ebay from Vanilla Products USA - they sell under two names - vanillaproducts for the more expensive Madagascar beans, larger quantity Tahitian beans, and Grade B of both; and greenerdogjr for smaller quantities of the Tahitian Grade A ($3.98 for 1 dozen beans shipped in the USA). I got them in 2-3 days (they are in PA, I'm in CT) and they're amazing. I will buy from them again when I run out of these beans, and with the 4 dozen that I bought for less than $20 total, it'll be a long time before that happens.
re: MPJ
I have bought off Arizona Vanilla before. http://www.arizonavanilla.com/Store/v...
I originally bought their product off ebay I think.You can buy pretty large quantities there. If you can find some friends to go in with you, you can save by buying a pound or so.
I wouldn't hesitate to mix the beans for the extract--I don't think you would be able to tell the difference between Tahitian extract and Madagascar extract in the typical finished product. You probably know this, but the grade of the beans refers only to their size. I often use these smaller beans, and aside from the fact that you have to use more of them due to their small size, I can't tell a difference even in vanilla-centric dishes like creme anglaise or ice cream. When I smell/taste beans from Tahiti and Madagascar side by side, they do seem a bit different, with the Tahitian ones being a bit more floral. But again, in the finished product I can't say that I would be able to pick out the difference in anything other than a side-by-side tasting. The dfifference from Mexican beans seems more noticable, with the latter having a simpler, almost artificial vanilla flavour.
re: zamorski
I've used Tahitian vanilla extract and the differences remain - if anything they're more pronounced, in my experience. Broadly speaking I'd say the Bourbon is heavier but more nuanced, the Tahitian is, as you say, floral, but also makes a more fleeting impression. I would think they'd mix well, but I'd make the extracts separately. That way you can use either separately and/or blend them. Blending them blind, for the first time, may or may not produce felicitous results.
Fwiw, I don't know what industry standards - if they exist - are like, but 4 beans per cup of alcohol seems too few, I think it'll be much weaker than commercial extract.
re: zamorski
FYI: The grade of the bean does NOT refer to it length but instead the color of the bean and the plumpness (oil and moisture content) of the bean. The length is a separate factor that adds to the cost of the bean, but a 5" Grade A bean and a 7" Grade A bean have the same quality. The reason the 7" costs more is because you get 2 more inches of "caviar" and bean. A Grade B or Extract grade bean is less moist, less pliable, and less oily.
I have both Grade A & Grade B beans of the same variety and side by side there is a noticeable difference. The Grade B beans are thinner, slightly less pliable, and not as fragrant as the Grade A beans. I will definitely add Grade A beans in my existing Grade B extract after I have "used them up."
As for mixing the Madagascar and the Tahitian - I don't see why not. Madagascar beans are the more fragrant and longer-lasting flavor, the Tahitian are more delicate and floral. Tahitian is what is used in soaps and and perfumes because it is less overpowering. I will be making two batches of pudding this week - one of each variety - to see what the flavor difference really is. Then I'll probably just shove all the spent beans in liquor and let them do their thing, variety be damned.

Trento to Rome
Our last day in Trento, went out in the morning for a ride to stretch the legs after yesterday. I found a fantastic bike path which runs next to the Adige River so followed that for little while. Had to stop on the way back to let a herd of sheep, goats and donkeys pass which is something you don't see back home.
I finished off by climbing up a large rocky outcrop which overlooks Trento called Doss Trento. The gradient was 15% + but only fairly short. Up ...
Race Day
Race day and as to be expected was up there with 3-Peaks as the hardest ride I've done.
The pace was on from the start averaging about 40kmph to the foot of the first climb.
The race split up on the first climb with smaller groups forming all the way up to the summit. I'm not normally the best descender but the previous recon helped and I made up a heap of time however there was a fair amount of carnage on the descent - saw about 10 guys that had come down ...
The day before...
... to the Swans get done :(. Early on this morning streamed the Sthn Power boys having an easy win in their GF.
The plan was to visit the Caproni Aeronautical Museum in the arvo however it is a difficult place to get to so we settled for panini and a trip on the cable car up to Sardegna which overlooks Trento. Apparently the area was bombed in 1943/44.
Some pasta for dinner, get the gear ready and try to get an good nights sleep...
First Full Day in Trento
... and did the first leg of sundays' race, a Cat. 2 8km climb about 15km nth of Trento up to a little town called Verla and then back again.
Without a doubt it has to be the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen, riding along the valley floor surrounded by 1600m walls on either side. Even the climb up to Verla was great, vineyard and apple orchard lined roads and then passing through tiny little ...
After a fairly epic journey we arrived Trento about 1530hrs. First thing after checking in - make sure the bike is ok...then reassemble.
Went for a short ride into town to register for sunday and pick up the bag of goodies that all the competitors receive - race numbers, rider guides, race info and a bag of pasta from one of the sponsors. Met up with Trevor and his wife Donna from the Sutho ...

$1 Million Ice Cream Cone
Bruster's Real Ice Cream unveiled the world's first $1 million ice cream cone (left) at the JCK Las Vegas Show, based on their signature waffle cone (right). It was created by diamond manufacturer Lazare Kaplan International Inc. and consists of nearly 20 troy ounces of 18k white and yellow gold, 548 round Lazare Diamonds, 87 Lazare square emerald cut diamonds, and one 5.63 carat Fancy Intense Yellow radiant cut diamond. The total carat weight comes to 152.16 and the cone is on sale for $1 million. Although it seems like false advertising to call this thing an ice cream cone when there's not a single bit of ice cream in it. What if somebody buys this thing actually looking for ice cream? Man, I bet they'd be so pissed.

As the pilot population grows older, it's important to consider the potential impact on GA safety. How much does aging degrade our piloting performance? Does it affect some skills more than others? In this report, we look to 20 years' worth of scientific research on older pilots for answers about the overall impact of age, and ways pilots can best minimize or delay any negative affects.
How safe is flight in today's general aviation America and where is it headed? According to the NTSB, 2004 was the safest year on record—but looking at a single year is not descriptive of the safety picture. Even a few years doesn't necessarily tell the full story. The Air Safety Foundation analyzed accidents from 1994 to 2003 to find out.
Pilots who believe that aerobatic training will enable a recovery from an inadvertent spin in the traffic pattern are fooling themselves. That myth—and other misconceptions about stalls and spins in GA aircraft—is explored in this Air Safety Foundation study. View search results for stall/spin accidents.
Your chance of having an accident while training for a pilot certificate or rating is less than having an accident in other types of GA flying, especially personal flights by already-certificated pilots, given the proportion of flying in each category. However, there are definitely some areas for improvement.
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.

Sundays at 6 p.m. on 90.7FM
February 2 - Civil Rights in America: Seneca Falls, Selma, Stonewall and Beyond
Hosted by Charles Dutton, this one-hour special examines the relevance and meaning of civil rights in the 21st century and the relationship between the Civil Rights Movement and the efforts of women, other people of color, and the LGBT community to expand our traditional definitions of equality
February 9 - Who is this Man
MLK Jr.'s "I have a Dream" speech has become the shorthand of the Civil Rights Movement-- but we might never have heard it, if it were not for another man, who's largely been forgotten by history: Bayard Rustin. In this program hour, we explore the life and legacy of Mr. Rustin, a black, gay, Quaker who brought Gandhian non-violent protest to the Civil Rights movement in America.
February 16 - As Black as we wish to be
In this episode Al Letson and guest producer Lu Olkowski visit a tiny town in the Appalachian foothills of Ohio where, for a century, residents have shared the common bond of identifying as African-American despite the fact that they look white. Racial lines have been blurred to invisibility, and people inside the same family can vehemently disagree about whether they are black or white. It can be tense and confusing. As a result, everyone's choosing: Am I black? Am I mixed race? Or, am I white? Adding to the confusion, there's a movement afoot to recognize their Native-American heritage
February 23 - Re:Defining Black History
During a month selected to celebrate "history," we certainly are treated to a lot of the same familiar stories: the battles won for Civil Rights, the glory of Martin Luther King Jr.'s words, the hardships endured by slaves. And as important as those narratives are for us to collectively remember, many others get lost in trumpeting the same heroic tales. In this hour, State of the Re:Union zeroes in some of those alternate narratives, ones edited out of the mainstream imagining of Black History, deconstructing the popular perception of certain celebrated moments.

Girls in Trucks : Sarah Walters is a less-than-perfect debutante. She tries hard to follow the time-honored customs of the Charleston Camellia Society, as her mother and grandmother did, standing up straight in cotillion class and attending lectures about all the things that Camellias don't do. (Like ride with boys in pickup trucks). But Sarah can't quite ignore the barbarism just beneath all that propriety, and as soon as she can she decamps South Carolina for a life in New York City. There, she and her fellow displaced Southern friends try to make sense of city sophistication, to understand how much of their training applies to real life, and how much to the strange and rarefied world they've left behind. When life's complications become overwhelming, Sarah returns home to confront with matured eyes the motto "Once a Camellia, always a Camellia" - and to see how much fuller life can be, for good and for ill, among those who know you best.
