"An enduring monument to the Enterprise and Liberality of Our Israelitish Citizens": A Beautiful Kentucky Synagogue
Recently, I have started my research into the Jewish communities of Kentucky for our Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities. A few weeks ago I was all over western Kentucky. In Owensboro, I found one of the oldest synagogues in the United States. Adath Israel, dedicated in 1877, is the 12th oldest synagogue in the country still in use today. In the South, only Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim in Charleston, South Carolina (built in 1840), and Temple of Israel in Wilmington, North Carolina (built in 1876) are older.
I visited with two members of the congregation, Stuart Spindel and Sandy Bugay, who gave me a tour of the small, but lovely building. When the synagogue was dedicated in 1877, the local newspaper ran a large account of the ceremony, calling the building "an enduring monument to the Enterprise and Liberality of Our Israelitish Citizens." Though a social hall was added on much later, the Moorish Revival building is still remarkably intact.
The congregation has always been tiny. One of the reasons Adath Israel is still in the synagogue is because they never outgrew it. Owensboro never had more than one hundred Jews during the 20th century. In recent years, the congregation has dwindled, but the remaining members are dedicated to maintaining it for as long as they can.
You can read much more about the history of Adath Israel and Owensboro Jewish community when the Kentucky section of the Encyclopedia is completed (early next year), but in the meantime I just wanted to share some of my photographs of this remarkable jewel of a synagogue:

Interfaith, Outreach, Inclusion … Why Bother?
We hear a lot about "interfaith" and "outreach" programming. In fact, I spend a lot of my time promoting it. But why does it matter? If it might lead to some difficult conversations and such – why bother?
Well, my experiences not only as a director of programming, but also as a proud New Orleans native, have shaped my understanding of the value and vital need for these sorts of efforts.
"….Temple Sinai is a house of prayer for all people and all who enter our doors in the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood are always welcome and that includes the members of Greater St. Stephens Ministries."
These words were spoken by Rabbi Edward Cohn. Since becoming the Rabbi of Temple Sinai in New Orleans 25 years ago, Rabbi Cohn has made interfaith and outreach programming a priority for the congregation. His efforts have led to a strong New Orleans Interfaith clergy group which meets on a regular basis to discuss theological, ethical and political issues as well as forming strong bonds of friendship which have served all of these congregations well. Often times, our opinions or convictions may conflict, but there is always respect and love. In times of celebration and in times of tragedy, these congregations have stood with each other side by side.
In fact, when the Greater St. Stephens Baptist Church burned down, Rabbi Cohn reached out to Bishop Paul Morton and Senior Pastor Debra Morton and offered the Temple Sinai sanctuary as a … sanctuary!
I attended several of the services to see what it was like while the St. Stephens congregation was worshiping in my synagogue. Sitting in the back of that 1,100 seat-sanctuary (completely filled twice each Sunday while they were there), I was blown away by the full Gospel choir and the spirit. Whatever your faith, God was in that place, and I knew it.
That's why interfaith and outreach programming matters. Because in times of triumph, and in times of trial, it enables us to be better neighbors and experience modern miracles … like when the trial becomes the triumph, and two communities can share one sacred space.
What has been your very best interfaith experience?

Mazel Tov to Temple Kol Tikvah
Last Wednesday morning, a beautiful photograph of Jerusalem stone appeared in my Facebook newsfeed. The picture shows a large wall with a wooden ark in the middle, part of a new sanctuary being built in Lake Norman, North Carolina. I smiled because four years ago I served as an Education Fellow for the Lake Norman Jewish Community. I worked with their enthusiastic Rabbi, Michael Shields, got to know dedicated young families, and sang songs with a flourishing religious school.
I enjoyed my visits to this congregation, but I always seemed to bring a bit of calamity with me. On my trip during Hanukkah we spent all Sunday morning participating in a Hanukkah Maccabiah complete with dreidel costumes, menorah relays, holiday trivia, and of course latkes! While the latkes were sizzling in the hallway, we managed to set the off the fire alarms and had to finish our potato sack races outside. Much to the students' delight, we were greeted by two fire trucks that morning and got to feed the fireman what were most likely their first-ever taste of latkes.
The next spring, Rabbi Shields and I planned a morning of Israel activities to celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut. When we arrived at the building, however, we realized we were locked out. Always ready for the unexpected, I conducted a session of Aleph Bet Yoga on the lawn to fill the half-hour or so that it took for us to get a key.
These challenges occurred because, like many new or small Jewish communities in our region and beyond, Lake Norman Jewish Congregation did not have a building of its own. They rented and borrowed spaces all across town; those fire alarms went off at an elementary school, and the building we were locked out of was on the campus of Davidson College.
These were worthy places for worship and community, but they lacked the convenience of a permanent home.
That is why I was especially happy to hear that Lake Norman Jewish Congregation had joined with another local congregation to found—and build—Temple Kol Tikvah. The memories made in their other homes are important to the history of the congregation, but I look forward to seeing more pictures from the site of their future joys (hopefully many) and even calamities (hopefully few).
Mazel Tov!

GREAT BEND, Kan. — A memorial fund has been set up for the children of a Reno County jail deputy and his wife who died in a motorcycle crash over the weekend.
It happened just after noon Saturday in the 5900 block of 10th Street in Great Bend. Three motorcycles were heading westbound as they approached an eastbound truck pulling a trailer hauling a lawnmower.
As they got closer, the trailer detached, crossed the centerline and hit one of the motorcycles ridden by Reno County Jail Deputy Shawn Schellenger and his wife, Danielle.
The two suffered critical injuries and were flown to a Wichita hospital, where Danielle died later on Saturday. The Reno County Sheriff's Department said Shawn passed away on Sunday.
The couple had two children, a five-year-old boy named Warren and a seven-year-old daughter named Dominique. Both children were on each of the other two motorcycles when the accident happened. One was being driven by a family friend, Deputy Dustin Vanscyoc, and the other was driven by Shawn's father, Jeff Schellinger.
They were not hurt, and Deputy Vanscyoc is currently caring for the children.
Deputy Schellenger had been with the Reno County Sheriff's Office for almost one year, having previously worked in the Butler County Jail. He was also a United States Army veteran who served in Iraq.
For anyone interested in making a donation, the Schellenger Children's Memorial Fund has been set up at the First National Bank of Hutchinson. For questions, call the bank at (620) 694-2390.

I had a similar experience. In my case, the dealer wouldn't install the tire on a bike which wasn't his brand even though I offered to take the wheel off.
Gee, a wheel is a wheel. I can't believe that a Brand X wheel is so different from the Brand Y one that the dealer was at risk to install the tire.

On trip I tipped the bike over in the hotel parking lot and broke the end off of my clutch lever. Lever was usable but didn't feel right. I stopped at a a dealer in Knoxville, TN the next day. The parts guy didn't have a lever in stock so he went into the showroom to find a new bike he could take a lever off of so I could continue my trip in comfort. I was very impressed.

A few notes from the other side of the counter:
Tires are, in fact, volume priced over multiple tiers - and the price difference is huge between buying one and buying 700 of them at once. Open any big distributor's catalog (Tucker Rocky, Parts Unlimited) and the standard dealer cost of any popular tire in there will be more than the selling price from the big tire mail order websites.
That said, full retail price as listed in those catalogs is essentially a myth, especially for popular sizes and brands. If you want to sell any tires at all, you need to discount them at least somewhat. I have run three euro multiline dealership service departments so far in major markets, and set pricing for tires and installation. Those were midsized shops - 3 techs.
All were smaller volume dealers, selling maybe 3,000 tires a year tops. That sounds like a lot until you consider the big mail order outfits sell that many in a week during season. The reason dealers don't want to mail order tires themselves is that the total dollar volume of their aftermarket sales is counted for setting pricing for all parts from those big nationwide distributors - the more you buy, the better your margin. Also, adding duplicate part numbers with different costs from different suppliers is a headache in Lightspeed, the dealer admin computer program used to do everything from repair orders to parts sales, accounts receivable, bike sales and inventory. The staff time spent ordering/labeling/receiving/editing info in lightspeed/issuing a separate payment outside of normal channels is time that could be better spent on a million other things, like helping customers at the counter, dispatching parts to service dept or handling your own mail order/internet sales.
I did as much pre-season volume ordering as possible, took advantage of volume deals from the manufacturer when I could, cut tire pricing as much as I could (down to 15% over my cost, typically) and preserved my install labor rate as best as possible. I also didn't charge more labor for installing mail order tires. Customers who brought in the wheel off the bike got a cheaper price on labor, as they should, so I could offer a lower cost option for buyers comfortable with doing their own R&R.
As parts go, like everything else, dealers stock what sells. A good parts manager will track monthly sales and lost sales (requested but not in stock and not sold when the customer leaves without ordering) of any given part number through Lightspeed, and look at sales history, particularly when the last one sold. A $200 part sitting on the shelf for two years ties up that capital and makes you nothing (actually costs you money, in fact, since it takes up space you're paying for, required inventorying,stocking, receiving, ordering, etc.) while that same $200 spent on a popular open clutch cover that you sell every month with a 25% margin makes you $1200 in gross profit on $4800 in gross sales over the same two years. Add in a state inventory tax and the much stiffer requirements/higher interest rates to get a working capital loan or bank line of credit and you have dealer owners taking a much harder line on stocking inventory dollar limits. Also remember that tires, like fresh produce, age out. Throwing away a new, unused 5 year old $200 tire that has tied up your working capital while sitting on a shelf for 4 years without making you a penny is something nobody wants to explain to your general manager.
This is the other reason why your tire may not be in stock, especially if it is an off size or specialty model that only fits your bike; even more so if that bike wasn't a big seller where that dealership is. All things being equal, if you haven't sold one of those parts in the last 12 months or so they are not worth keeping in stock. This is also the big reason why special ordered parts must be paid for in advance.Dealers are often hit with a 20%+ restocking fee plus return shipping if they need to return special ordered parts, and special ordered electrical parts simply aren't returnable to most manufacturers.
Also note that there may be other forces at work for parts pricing - one manufacturer gives better hard parts prices to dealers that sell a lot of apparel under a specific program.

Dealerships are the reason I learned to work on my own cars/bikes/sleds and do my own research for parts. After working as a mechanic and knowing the amount of markup I just can't bring myself to pay all the extras without at least trying to find a cheaper way first.
The local big powersports dealer is kind of shady. Its not like they'll try to cheat you, but they sure won't go out of their way to help you. Sales guys are high pressure, don't give you the full story on their inventory (probably because they don't know anything other than specs on the newest models). The parts guys are always uncaring. They'll help you, but they never act like they're enjoying it. I've never had a real problem with them, but I think that's because I know what to expect.
Now my local Skidoo/Bombardier dealer is bad ass. Just a little family owned place. Great customer service, knowledgable and friendly. They even host a couple open houses in the fall that they let me try to sell my old sled and let me post for sale fliers in the building. I was really surprised when I went in there last August to talk about buying a 2012 sled. Things came up and I didn't back in to talk to them again until October and the sales guy remembered my name and exactly what sled I had been looking at before. I was also surprised for being such a small dealer, their parts still came in at the same cost as buying online if I took shipping into account. I always try to buy local if the price difference is the same or smallish.

Things dealers tell customers...
"Well that bike needs the handlebars tightened up, but we can do that before you come back."
Two days later I come back...
"We haven't got to it yet, we weren't expecting you until 1:30"
I never told them when I'd be there.
"We'll work it in for you."
"It's going to be about an hour and a half. If you want to leave we'll call you."
I leave. About three hours later I get the call.
"The handlebar clamp on that is wallered out, so we have to replace it. Unfortunately we don't have one in stock, so it'll be a few days to a week."
Really? As long as I have it by Monday.
No word all weekend, so I call on Monday.
"The part came in today, so we'll get right on it and let you know."
My relief was short lived.
"The service manager something something and that part actually goes to a different bike. they don't put the bike model on the box, just the designation. Yours will be h3ere either later today or tomorrow"
Fuck fuckity fuck!
About 20 minutes later I get a text, that someone checked and my parts will be tomorrow.
Now it's tomorrow, and no call. I call them about 5:15, no answer from the sales manager/finance guy that I've been talking to. I think that number rings at his desk.
At 5:30 I get a call, the bike is off the rack, but it is too late for me to come out. Now I have to either wait two days for another day off or take a vacation day to go pick it up.
Why didn't I just cruise craigslist?

When I bought my Buell, I was really surprised what a great price they were willing to agree to. I had seen the bike on their showroom floor for quite awhile so I figured they just wanted it off the books and were willing to deal.....
Six months later when it came time to replace the first set of tires I wanted to give them my business even though it's a bit farther from my house than I wanted to go. I had scheduled my time slot in advance and had a friend follow me so I didn't have to sit around the shop and wait. When I arrived I was told that they weren't carrying Buell anymore and as a result they wouldn't work on them either.... The fact I bought the bike there only months earlier didn't matter, they weren't going to touch it.....

He took me in the back - the hallway leading to the service area - and showed me a partly assembled Uly. He wouldn't even put it on the floor with the Holy Harleys. I decided that no way would I buy a bike - no matter how interesting - if I had to deal with these fools for parts, etc.
So I bought the Tiger & am happy.

I have a lot of time for good dealers, especially with new bikes under warranty
I have found myself wondering about the service and/or parts dept on more than one occasion with 'information' they've given me but I have to remind myself (having been a parts person at one point) that home/forum/OTR fixes are NOT what an official dealer is about. They have procedures and official ways of doing things because of liability, etc. A number of dealers won't adjust suspension away from 'the book' incase you bin it 2 miles down the road and blame the suspension settings they gave you and I can totally see their point in this day an age.

Dealer here has done that for years. They will help you load it, but not tie down.

Why Use Fake Cameras For Security Purposes?
You might think that false cameras are not going to be good enough for security needs in your home. However, the fact is that they may actually be much more effective than what you might think. Here are a few great reasons to explore with regards to why you should be using such fake cameras. You might be surprised at how they can really be useful for your home surveillance plans. (more…)Read More

How Does a Teddy Bear Surveillance Camera Work?
Hidden Cameras May It Easier For People To Spy On Online Activities
Many people often take a closer look at what others in their homes are doing when it comes to using computers. They often do this with the intention of making sure that people aren't doing things that they should not be taking part in.
For instance, people can look at web browser histories to see what people are doing with their computers. Many will also look at financial statements to see whether or not people have bought certain things online. For instance, kids who buy Neopoints for sale at shopneopia.com may be caught after their parents notice that their credit cards have been billed for that site.
Of course, there are ways how people can cheat the process. Of course, people can avoid buying things altogether online. In addition, they can easily get into web browsers and delete every trace of activity that they have gotten into within a certain session. A person can delete data from the past hour of use, for instance. The fact that it is rather easy for people to get access to the security and history settings on a web browser only makes this even harder for people to monitor as necessary.
While it is true that many computer tracking programs can help people out, these may not always work either. The histories on these programs may be broken into and erased as well.
Hidden cameras may end up being much more advantageous for one's monitoring needs than some other programs. These cameras are designed to identify things that might happen while being hidden within an nondescript item. This can be a real foolproof item to use in a home.
A user can place a hidden camera into something like a wall clock, a teddy bear, a picture frame or other item that might face the direction of the computer monitor. The user can then analyze what was recorded over time. The camera feed may be accessed by reading a tape or file that records several hours of what someone was doing. This will help to review just what someone had been doing at a given time while online.
The great thing about this technology is that it will be totally foolproof. The camera will be small enough to stick in a space that is slim in its body. Meanwhile, the body that the camera is in will be designed to look like a normal everyday object. The odds of a person identifying something as a hidden camera will be extremely minimal.
This is a great item to have for one's home security needs but it's also something that fits in well when it comes to monitoring computer usage. Hidden cameras can easily be placed near a computer to not only identify who's on a computer at a given time but also what they person is doing with that computer. It's all to catch people in the act in the event that they are doing things that they should not be doing in the first place.Read More
Learn How to Use Hidden Cameras Through YouTube
Did you know that you can get hidden cameras in just about any place in your home? If you went to YouTube to see what types of hidden cameras are out there then you will see that these can be found in many forms.
They Can Hide In Any Object
It is amazing to see how so many different hidden cameras can be posted in different objects. These include items that might look normal and will therefore not give off any suggestion that there is a hidden camera anywhere.
For instance, a wall clock might have a normal look to it but it can also have a small pinhole that will look into and record information on what is happening in a room. In addition, the teddy bear camera is a popular option to have in nurseries and other places that children might be in. You can even find such cameras in throw pillows and lamps among other items. If it's a commonplace object to have in a room then the odds are very good you can find a hidden camera that fits in for it.
Demonstrations Can Be Found On YouTube
The companies that make all of these hidden cameras are very serious about security and want to prove to everyone that their products are worth using. While many buy YouTube views from Views Accelerator, many others can also show off camera feeds from these hidden camera objects. It is all to give people ideas on what can work in many of these products.
Camera feeds are displayed in videos that people can buy YouTube views from because they want customers to see how a camera can record things. This includes a look at the viewing angle of the camera, the resolution that comes with it and whether it records in color or black and white. The parameters that come with a camera like this will vary by model and a good feed video can really help anyone learn about how a good camera works. This information can really be useful as people will have a better idea of what they can get out of something that is of strong interest to them.
How About Maintaining Them?
YouTube videos can also show how people can open up cameras and get their recorded information off of them. In many cases it will only take a few steps but in other cases some added attachments may be required to get the information as needed. You might even find some videos that show how you can access some cameras without any wires. This is especially useful for those who want to learn more about different Wi-Fi-enabled cameras that can be accessed as long as the camera is located in a spot where such Wi-Fi signals may be accessible..
Hidden cameras can really be essential for the needs that anyone might have. Good hidden cameras can work well but it is always a good idea to see how videos of these cameras on YouTube can show you information on how such cameras can operate. These cameras can really work well for anything you have a need for managing when it comes to your security.Read More

The Free Wedding
You'll have to forgive me if The Free Wedding ends up being the longest feature in the history of Once Wed.

Underwater and Sinking: The Housing Situation in Las Vegas
AIR DATE: August 31, 2011
When it comes to housing, Las Vegas consistently ranks near the top for most foreclosures and underwater mortgages. And this forces many Las Vegans who are underwater to make a choice: stay or walk away? How has the housing situation changed this past year? What decisions has it forced Las Vegans to make, and how has it affected the culture and optimism of the city? Also, what does our real estate situation look like to the rest of the world? We talk to experts, plus some homeowners on how their lives have changed. Also, special guest

from the BBC joins our panel to see how one of the country's worst foreclosure rates can change an American city.

I wasn't able to mention this during my time on the show, but I would like to make the point that the experience of "walking away" did teach me several important lessons. The chief lesson is to live within my means. In the last three years, I have reduced my consumer debt to under $500, learned to put purchases off until I have ready cash and learned to pay cash for EVERYTHING or implement and follow through with a plan to pay each purchase off within a set amount of months (never more than three.) Had I not gone through the foreclosure, I wouldn't be sitting here with a little cash in the bank, a new car and a hopeful outlook for owning a home again very soon. So for me the "reset" was internal as well and I consider that another indication of the "luck" that seemed to follow me through this process.

Ms. Cortinas, please go viral-you-tube. Shame the bank that foreclosed on you. Make a video, put it out there. Contact Drudge Report. Shame all of our elected officials...

I'm sick of bailing out every irresponsible idiot in the country. I buy a house that I can afford and nearly have it paid off, yet people who bought irresponsibly are essentially getting free money in the form of subsidized principle and interest reductions?! How is it fair or moral that I pay for both their house and their lack of economic understanding? Let's let the real estate market clear itself; some will profit, and some will lose, but that's just life!

Hey John a moral decision is when a person decides to drive drunk and kill an innocent person, not walking away from an underwater property. I don't know about you but home prices in my neighborhood are at 1970 prices. Everybody, block out the haters and meanies...live in your home as long as you can, because remember... the banks WTF, "Want The Foreclosure" ding, ding, ding. Foreclosure releases TARP money. Homeowners get nothing. Save your family, your health, your well-being, your money...life is too short to fret...

Please, if KNPR hosts another discussion on the Las Vegas housing crisis, I request that it NOT be allowed to devolve in any part to a pity party. Please discuss how to get out and how to prevent this mess from happening again. I disagree with Tom Blanchards comment near the end of the show when he stated the banks should lower residential mortgage amounts (No the banks do not get to keep the windfall for a bail out they previously received). Here is why: Lowering an individuals mortgage in a house that he/she should have never purchased confirms the wrongful thinking that got the individual in the position in the first place. In other words moral hazard a person whose house is saved does not learn the overlying lesson of living within his/her means and not to the neighbors means. Also lowering mortgages of the big-spenders is one more punch in the arm or is a punishment to those who saved their money. Capitalism is now loudly screaming to those individuals who saved their money and who controlled any emotion toward staying up with the neighbors to take advantage of those situations resulting from those who unnecessarily compromised their financial stability.

The building continues as the foreclosed homes are sold to out of state cash buyers. Are we not making entire territories of foreign neighborhoods? It should be mandatory to build every new house in this valley with solar panel roofing or sides. There is no reason we are wasting electricity when we live in a windy and sunny place.
Aug 29, 2011 10:09:12 AM
I'm a Nevada Real Estate Agent and also a permitted Nevada property manager. As I work with clients looking to buy homes, we find that there are many stumbling blocks to buying foreclosures that bind up our market and make purchasing a home in Las Vegas much more difficult.

no moral guage in a bank? what...are they vampires? should it be business as usual under such catastrophic circumstances? they have no obligations to the society they are part of? when we are down, they can just kick and take their money an run? you are being too easy on these vultures. all parts of society, including a bank, have the obligation to run their business as part of that society, which means caring for its healthy functioning. not to destroy it. that definition belongs to the concept of war and invasion. they are not supposed to be enemies. any good business should be nurturing the society they are milking as a part of their responsible interaction. no?
Aug 29, 2011 09:45:17 AM
Am I missing something? Is it not that the banks are in a feeding frenzy? Do they not get paid from their AIG insurance for forclosing on a home? Aren't they making a bundle? And no one is stopping them. They claim "helplessness." They are happily destroying America and laughing all the way to the bank. Are they not? Aren't they causing this all, and not having the decency to stop, and have some kind of social concern?

We applied for a loan modification in 2010, which we were eligible for, and we followed the instructions the bank told us. The bank then starts foreclosure proceedings as part of the process. We had to get a Senator to block the foreclosure. They denied the loan modification and started foreclosure proceedings again, even though we were eligible and made all payments on time. Then, we found a company called www.naca.com which we are now on our fourth month trial payment plan on our loan modification. Our neighborhood is completely made up of rentals that are owned by absentee owners. The only fault we made is that we applied for a loan modification, which we are eligible for, and we may lose our home because of it. All of our friends are also going through this.
Aug 29, 2011 09:28:35 AM
I heard on NPR last week that much of the real estate activity in S. Florida is from foreign buyers. Would this be a good or bad thing? Do many "foreigners" purchase 2nd/vacation homes in Las Vegas? If not, why not, and is this something we want increased?

The example just given re someone having to scale down from 3 to 1 does not make the needed case for help addressing housing crises. Not compelling at all. I don't think people are entitled to 3 houses they can't afford.

BMW 5 Series range: even more efficient thanks to BMW TwinPower Turbo. The BMW 5 Series range builds on its leading position in the areas of design, sporting capability, comfort and efficiency with an extended range of engines. The BMW 520d EfficientDynamics Edition, for example, represents the epitome of efficiency in a premium executive class car. The Sedan is powered by a 135 kW/184 hp four-cylinder diesel engine, yet its average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is just 4.5 litres per 100 kilometres (62.8 … CONTINUED
The F10 5-series has often by called a baby 7-series, especially since its size has grown over the outgoing E60 5-series. Just what is the size difference between the current 5 and 7 series? Lets have a look.
Unsatisfied with the tamer look and sound of the factory split dual exhausts of the 2011 535i, 5POST member Lacster has gone the aftermarket route and replaced the stock exhausts with a quad tipped exhaust producing a more aggressive sound and look.
Japanese tuner 3D Design has released its F10 5-series. Upgrade parts include a front lip spoiler, rear trunk spoiler, roof spoiler, black grills, rear diffuser, and 20″ forged wheels. Quad tip sport exhaust system is also available for the 550i and 535i.
The 2011 F10 5-series is available with BMW new Night Vision option, part of BMW ConnectedDrive, allowing F10 owners to see objects in the dark up to 900 feet ahead of the vehicle. This is the first video we have seen of it in action in the F10 and it's pretty slick.
Info from BMW:
BMW Night Vision, part of BMW ConnectedDrive, can see in the dark and warns the driver … CONTINUED
BMW has issued a recall for 2010 and 2011 5-series and 5-series GT models for a faulty fuel sensor which may result in inaccurate fuel levels. Some of our F10 sedan owners have also been reported being contacted about a fuel sensor recall or having their cars held at VPC for the replacement. F10 owners should make sure to check with your dealers.
Fifth Gear reviews the F10 535i, with a focus on the F10′s technology – namely the surround view/park assistant, ConnectedDrive, and 4-wheel steering. As for the 535′s overall performance, it's called fantastic and silky smooth with a fabulous chassis. Overall, they feel that the car is brilliant and the best mid-exec car money can buy.
The official U.S. F10 5-series brochure / catalog is now available in electronic format. It features great info on the 5-series design and technologies and lists all standard and optional equipment, as well as some eye candy photos. See inside to download.
The German Red Cross recently introduced its F10 525d for "Emergency Doctors." We are not sure if this car is a one-off for promotional purposes only, or if the F10 5-series will actually be put into widespread duty for the German Red Cross. If the latter, we are jealous of German Red Cross doctors!
5POST member Lacster's 535i has received a proper professional photoshoot, courtesy of resident photo guru Jzhang. This is the most modified F10 we have witnessed so far and the tasteful modifications combine for a more aggressive, yet classy F10. Modifications include lowering springs, blackout grills, CF trunk lid spoiler, aftermarket wheels, painted reflectors and vinyl trim, and tint. Check out the photos inside!
5POST member HossNY provides a 1500 mile report update on his 535i, from performance, to comfort/convenience, to safety and looks. Check out the thoughts and impressions from an actual 5-series owner inside.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) - The Haitian government delivered a progress report on the eve of the fourth anniversary of the massive earthquake that struck the Caribbean nation.
Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe led a presentation to journalists Friday that emphasized his government's accomplishments.
They include a drop in the number of people living in settlements for people who lost their homes in the quake, the construction of more than 5,000 homes and economic growth.
Haiti's rebuilding effort has been criticized for being too slow to house people displaced by the disaster, which hit Port-au-Prince and other cities in the south on Jan. 12, 2010.
There were once 1.5 million people living in the gloomy encampments but an international aid organization says that number is now 146,000.

The Mediterranean diet stands the test of time! As part of a prospective cohort study in Spain, researchers assessed 1815 community dwelling older adults for adherence to the Mediterranean diet and measures of frailty (including exhaustion, muscle weakness, low physical activity, slow walking speed, and weight loss). The researchers found that greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet was significantly associated with a decreased risk of frailty. The study also found that reduced frailty risk was related with increased fruit consumption and fish consumption.
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. 2014 Aug 7 (Leon-Munoz LM et al.)

Mediterranean Diet Decreases Risk of Frailty in Aging Adults
The Mediterranean diet stands the test of time! As part of a prospective cohort study in Spain, researchers assessed 1815 community dwelling older adults for adherence to the Mediterranean diet and measures of frailty (including exhaustion, muscle weakness, low physical activity, slow walking speed, and weight loss). The researchers found that greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet was significantly associated with a decreased risk of frailty. The study also found that reduced frailty risk was related with increased fruit consumption and fish consumption.
Mediterranean Diet Reduces Risk of Cognitive Decline
Just because you don't live in the Mediterranean, doesn't mean you can't benefit from the Mediterranean diet. An Australian study followed 527 healthy older adults (average age=69 years) in 3 different dietary pattern groups (Australian-style Mediterranean, Prudent/healthy, and Western) over a 3-year period. Researchers found that in participants with genetic predisposition to Alzheimers disease (APoE4 allele carriers), high adherence to the Australian-style Mediterranean diet (high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, and fish) was associated with better executive function, the set of mental processes used in planning, strategizing, remembering details, and managing time and space.
Molecular Psychiatry. 2014 July 29. [Epub ahead of print] (Gardener SL et al.)
Med Diet Associated with Healthy Aging
A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine demonstrates that eating a Mediterranean Diet is associated with greater health and well-being in older age. The study analyzed food frequency questionnaires collected between 1984 and 1986 from 10,670 women in their late 50s and early 60s with no major chronic diseases. Fifteen years later researchers again collected data from the same women and found that those who had adhered to a Mediterranean Diet in middle age were about 40% more likely to live past 70 and to have avoided 11 chronic diseases measured in the study including many cancers, type 2 diabetes, and Parkinson's disease. Those who most closely followed a Med Diet also were more likely to age without physical disabilities, signs of cognitive impairment, or mental health problems.
Annals of Internal Medicine. 2013; 159(9): 584-591. (Samieri, et al.)
Mediterranean Diet and Bone Health in the Elderly
A group of scientists in France looked at the relationship between following a Mediterranean diet and fractures in a group of 1,400 elderly people from Bordeaux, France. Researchers collected information on diet and used it to measure how closely they were following the Mediterranean diet. After analyzing the reported fractures and comparing this with adherence to a Mediterranean diet they found no relationship between the two.
Osteoperosis International. [Epub June 20, 2013] (Feart et al.)
Mediterranean Diet Reduces Night Sweats and Hot Flushes in Menopause
Hot flushes and night sweats are two common yet unpleasant symptoms during menopause, but no dietary recommendations have been identified to prevent them. To better understand the relationship between food and menopause, researchers in Australia followed over 6,000 middle-aged women for over 9-years, collecting information on their diet, hot flushes, and night sweats. The scientists found that a Mediterranean style diet (characterized by garlic, peppers, mushrooms, salad greens, pasta, and red wine) and a diet high in fruit significantly decreased night sweats and hot flushes, while high-fat and high-sugar diets (characterized by sweet biscuits, cakes, jam, meat pies, and chocolate) significantly increased these symptoms.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. 2013 May;97(5):1092-9. (Herber-Gast GC et al).
Aging, Depression, and the Mediterranean Diet
A group of investigators from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago conducted a study among participants of the Chicago Health and Aging Project (CHAP) into the relationship between the Mediterranean diet and depression among older adults. They found that in this large, biracial community greater adherence to a Mediterranean pattern of eating including vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish and legumes, was associated with a decreased likelihood of developing depressive symptoms over time. The link between the Mediterranean diet and mental health may be found in a number of dietary components of the diet like B-vitamins, antioxidant nutrients, and fat components.
The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging. 2013; 17(5):441-445. (Skarupski et al.)
Mediterranean Diet, Cognitive Function and Dementia
A group in the UK conducted a systematic review of the literature currently available concerning the possible relationship between the Mediterranean diet, cognitive function and dementia. After analyzing the available research they found that most published studies (9 out of 12) suggest greater adherence to a Mediterranean diet is associated with slower mental decline and decreased risk for Alzheimer's disease. More research is needed to clarify the relationship of the Med Diet with vascular dementia and mild cognitive impairment.
Epidemiology. 2013; 24(4):479-489. (Lourida et al.)
Mediterranean Diet Reduces Expression of Inflammation Gene in Elderly
Atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, has been linked with chronic low-grade inflammation, and such inflammation has been tied, in part, to fats in the diet. Scientists at the University of Córdoba, Spain, asked 20 healthy elderly adults to follow three different diets for three weeks each, and compared their bodies' expressions of a gene linked to inflammation under each diet. They found that consumption of a Mediterranean Diet reduced post-meal inflammation more than the other two diets (a saturated fat-rich diet or a low-fat, high-carb diet enriched with Omega 2 polyunsaturated fats). The researchers stated that "these findings may be partly responsible for the lower CVD risk found in populations with a high adherence to the Med Diet."
British Journal of Nutrition, November 15, 2011;1-9 [Epub ahead of print] (Camargo et al.)
Elderly Women Stay Independent Longer, with Med Diet
We all want to live to a ripe old age, without pain and disability. While previous studies have shown that greater adherence to a Mediterranean Diet is linked to longer life and reduced risk for cognitive problems, scientists in France set out to study whether the Med Diet could also contribute to seniors' ability to fend off physical disability and live independently longer. To do so, they followed 1410 elderly adults for more than five years. While they did not find a link for men, the researchers found that women eating a diet closest to the traditional Med pattern enjoyed a 50% lower risk of being unable to take care of their own daily needs.
European Journal of Epidemiology, August 28, 2011 [Epub ahead of print]
Women Live Longer with the Mediterranean Diet
Researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands followed a group of 120,852 men and women for ten years, starting when the group was 55-69 years old. They assessed each person on four factors – adherence to the Mediterranean Diet, non-smoking, normal weight, and regular physical activity – to learn which factors helped people to live longer. Scoring high on all four factors was strongly related to reduced mortality, adding an estimated 8.4 years to men's lives and 15 years to women's lives. Among women, adherence to the Med Diet in particular was significantly related to lower mortality.

Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis sits at his desk.Photo by Randall Higgins /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
CLEVELAND, Tenn. -- Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis will serve as chairman of the board for the 10-county Southeast Tennessee Development District for 2010-11.
The district, which includes more than 60 elected officials, recently held its annual meeting in Chattanooga.
Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield was elected vice chairman of the district board.
The district's staff, based in Chattanooga, provides assistance for the region's small communities that cannot pay for economic and community development, infrastructure needs, tourism promotion, housing and transportation.
What is good for one community is good for the region, Davis said. "The district works for the region as a whole," Davis said.
The development district has "been invaluable in some of our recent successes," Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland said.
Both Davis and Rowland recalled how officials of Cleveland and Chattanooga met with representatives of two German companies on the same night, at the same time and at the same hotel in downtown Chattanooga.
Afterward, Volkswagen announced it had picked Chattanooga for its North American auto assembly plant, while Wacker Chemical later announced Bradley County was the site for its new factory.
Both are $1 billion projects.
Davis said the district complements a personal goal that he's had for years -- regionalism.
"There have been three recent $1 billion projects in Tennessee," he said. "Two of them have been in our district. We have demonstrated we can work together as a district."
Hemlock Semiconductor Corp., which makes materials used in solar power technology, is building a plant in Clarksville.

Posted November 24, 2012 on AP on Fox
The Minnesota Vikings have declared wide receiver Percy Harvin out of Sunday's game at Chicago because of his sprained left ankle. Harvin was listed doubtful on Friday after missing another week of practice, and the team downgraded him to out on the injury report Saturday while deciding not to take him on the trip so he can continue to rest. Harvin was hurt Nov. 4 at Seattle and missed the Nov. 11 game against Detroit. The Vikings had a bye last week. Harvin is tied for 10th in the NFL with 62 receptions. He entered the week second in the league behind Green Bay's Randall Cobb in total yards, including receiving, rushing and returning.

FLASHBACK! Hey, Arizona Republic: We're 'Mainstream'; You're Not!
With the 10th anniversary of The Arizona Conservative — the first and oldest conservative publication in the Grand Canyon State — approaching November 1st, we're re-running some of our most popular posts. Here's another one you'll enjoy!
October 11, 2009
Mainstream people across Arizona have had enough of the Left-Wing GroupThink Media. This Saturday, Oct. 17, they're doing a Tea Party at the Arizona Republic and ABC Channel 15 in Phoenix to demonstrate against biased, agenda-driven media that does not resonate with mainstream citizens.
You can get the details here: Operation: Can You Hear US Now? – Media Protest [link no longer works]
We don't have to wait until Saturday morning to start the dialogue with these out of touch media people. We can start the drumbeat right now with on-point messaging, like the following:
Hey, Republic!
We're "mainstream";
You're Not
The Republic:

Lefty Media:

of America
Arizonans/Americans are clever and resourceful, and The Arizona Conservative looks forward with great anticipation to the clever signs at Saturday's demonstrations.
Don't expect any real or accurate reporting on these events from the tired, entrenched leftist media establishment. That will come from the new media, the blogs and websites of everyday, mainstream Arizonans.
Cultural Rot: (Don't) See Springer, Jerry … and 'Baggage'
We started skipping merrily down the hill in the 1960s with The Dating Game. Witty one-liners and mini-skirts indicated there was more at play here than marriage and the baby carriage. Clever come-on lines led to the hopes of one-night stands and short-term exhilaration. So it was not surprising that the late basketball great Wilt Chamberlain – who claimed to have had sexual relations with 20,000 women – was one of the guest datees.
In the Seventies and Eighties came jiggle TV, along with Love American Style, the Love Boat ("exciting and new"), and Hotel. Adult happiness and sexual adventure were the themes. These programs were not always about being the right person and finding the right person to settle down with for nesting and family life.
Next came a temporary turn in the opposite direction with Chuck Woolery and Love Connection in the late Eighties. Chuck kept it clean and relationship oriented. The message was about finding the love of your life and making a long-term commitment.
Fast forwarding to today, we arrive at a new cultural low with Jerry Springer hosting "Baggage." This is one small plunge for Springer and his guests, a giant cultural leap over the ledge headlong into the moral abyss for mankind. This is what cultural rot looks like in the 21st century.
The object of this seedy game is not to pick the best potential date, but to eliminate the two worst. Ladies and gentlemen of the cultural jury, I give you:
- A woman whose baggage, among others, includes a passion for sex in public. Who knows how many partners … and diseases … she's had? And so much for private, intimate moments at home.
- A woman who shares her toilet with a cat. TMI! Springer said he prefers to share a litter box with his cat.
- A man who is a member of an orgy club in Portland, and who "hates marriage and children." In a time of greater modesty, this kind of thing would be kept secret. Now it's a "bragging point" for the whole nation to know. And not a real good thing to normalize for children.
- A woman who describes herself as a "seasonal bisexual." Spring, fall, winter, or summer? Or all of the above?
- A man who got fired for having sex on the boss's desk. Yikes!
Get this. Springer told the left-winging Huffington Post that "Baggage" is a "family-friendly show." Who knew! "Ward, would you please call Wally and Beaver down? Baggage is on the tube!"
So how much further can we as a culture sink? We're not at the bottom yet, but we're in a freefall and well on our way down.

We've added a new tileset to Levitra viagra online the game, which is Generic viagra exclusive to the new "arcade mode". Unlike our full, story-mode tilesets, which are essentially a hybrid mix of 16×16<->64×64 tiles, intermixed in lots of wacky combinations, this tileset is a strict collection of 16×16 tiles. It's not possible to do very organic rock faces and Prescription for viagra such in this tileset; everything will feel very blocky – however, it makes for much more flexible arrangements of No prescription levitra tiles (since quite a few up-close arrangements were not possible with our story-mode tiles). Especially for our arcade mode, which will be based on some very tight platforming challenges, this is a good fit for gameplay.
Ultimately, we decided that rather than choosing between either style of tileset, we'd choose to have both. Why not?
Also, here are some updates on forest stuff; showing off some new branches, better foliage, Buy nolvadex online and one of the new palette shifts. We've loosely decided to save the forest stuff for the update immediately after the Cialis cheap current one, since trying to do both arcade mode and forest at the same time is just too much to juggle – it means you'll get an update in your hands sooner.

WOONSOCKET — Police surprised two masked men as they were lugging computers out of Woonsocket High School through a smashed window early Sunday.
One of the suspects escaped after scaling a fence, but another was captured after a foot chase. Police also recovered about $12,000 worth of computer equipment the alleged intruders had removed from the school.
Maxwell A. Johnson, 19, was charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime with felonious intent and conspiracy to commit a felony.
WOONSOCKET — The monument defense fund hadn't even been officially created yet, but Mayor Leo Fontaine accepted the first donation, hand-delivered, all the way from Spring Lake, Michigan.
"I really had no idea this was going to happen," said Dennis Masson, as he wrote a check for $1,000 to the fund at City Hall yesterday afternoon.
BOSTON – For Aaron Cook and the Red Sox, D-Day – as in Decision Day – is at hand.
With Tuesday marking May 1, the day in which Cook's minor-league opt-out clause officially takes effect, Boston must decide whether to promote the veteran pitcher and place him on the active roster or risk losing him to free agency. Reached Monday night, Joe Bick, the agent for Cook, spelled out a step-by-step process that included all involved parties.
BOSTON – The sight of Josh Reddick sporting a green and gold Oakland A's uniform inside Fenway Park Monday night only further augments the idea that not every drafted-and-developed Red Sox type has a seat waiting for him at the parent club's table.
WOONSOCKET — The Wisconsin group that condemned a World War I monument bearing a Latin cross as a violation of the separation of church and state because it's located on city property may have a legal battle on its hands after all.
Buoyed by offers of free legal assistance and an outpouring of public support, the City Council will decide tonight whether to establish a defense fund to keep the monument at Place Jolicoeur, in the parking lot of Fire Station No. 2, with the Latin cross intact.
WOONSOCKET — It doesn't matter that his uncle is the soldier for whom the World War I monument was dedicated.
It could be any soldier's name on that monument, says Lucien Jolicoeur, and he would be just as angry if the cross were removed, as a First Amendment defenders group is demanding.
"The cross is my very biggest complaint," Jolicoeur said in interview from his home in Burrillville Monday. "I don't care if it's my uncle or another solider. I don't think anyone has a right to touch that cross."

Audio Books : Contemporary : Other quality : English Read by James Colby Duration 5 hours 30 minutes 40 Kbps An underground classic since its first publication in 1996, Fight Club is now recognized as one of the most original and provocative novels published in this decade. Chuck Palahniuk's darkly funny first novel tells the story of a godforsaken young man who discovers that his rage at living in a world filled with failure and lies cannot be pacified by an empty consumer culture. Relief for him and his disenfranchised peers comes in the form of secret after-hours boxing matches held in the basements of bars. Fight Club is the brainchild of Tyler Durden, who thinks he has found a way for himself and his friends to live beyond their confining and stultifying lives. But in Tyler's world there are no rules, no limits, no brakes. Turned into a blockbuster film starring Brad Pitt and Ed Norton. Enjoy and Seed!
Thank you.

Project Lifesaver International, a non-profit organization that helps rescue persons prone to wandering due to Alzheimer's disease, autism, and other cognitive disorders, has been awarded grant funding to assist in education, awareness, equipment and public policy efforts to expand the Project Lifesaver program across the country.
As part of this grant funding, Lee County Sheriff's Office was awarded two free Project Lifesaver transmitters, plus a year's supply of batteries and bands for each transmitter. The Project Lifesaver transmitters will be used to directly benefit two individuals, in the community, who have Alzheimer's disease.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), as many as four-and-a-half million Americans currently have Alzheimer's disease. In Lee County it is estimated that over twenty-two thousand individuals have Alzheimer's. Nearly one in eight individuals will develop Alzheimer's by age seventy-two. Even more frightening, experts estimate that nearly sixty percent of individuals with Alzheimer's disease will wander at some point during the progression of the disease.
Project Lifesaver is a certified training program designed to assist public safety agencies in quickly finding those with cognitive conditions who wander. Individuals wear a personalized, wrist-watch sized radio transmitter that allows first responders to rapidly locate them. Rescue personnel receive specialized training from Project Lifesaver, not only on how to operate the tracking equipment and on search and rescue procedures, but also to provide public safety personnel with skills to address the behavioral/communication challenges specific to persons with cognitive conditions - skills that are critical to gaining the missing person's trust and facilitating a safe escort home.
Nationwide, more than one-thousand law enforcement agencies are currently members of Project Lifesaver. Founded in 1999, Project Lifesaver has been instrumental in locating, to date, more than twenty-one hundred persons in an average "find-time" of 30 minutes.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office also seeks local support from businesses and organizations wishing to match contributions from this grant. A $300 donation will provide a free transmitter, plus a year's supply of batteries and bands, to an individual in the community who is in need of the Project Lifesaver equipment.

We believe school data to be accurate, but do not guarantee that. Please be sure to verify where your children will attend school before making your housing decision.
As you search for your perfect apartment, please keep in mind that rental rates (including specials and discounts) and availability are very fluid in the apartment industry. Based on many factors, the rental rates (including specials and discounts) and availability can actually change not just daily, but hourly, if not even more quickly. While our advertisers do take steps to keep their information current, the rental rates or availability you may find here now at ForRent.com may not be the same as when you contact the communities.
