Let me set the scene: me and my darling hubby, the Giants 2010 Championship, waltz into a snazzy restaurant to celebrate our one year anniversary. He's wearing a Dolce & Gabbana suit and I have a beautiful, cream-colored dress from Oscar De La Renta, plus some awesome Louboutin heels.
We order our appetizers and begin to talk.
Me: Happy One Year Anniversary, honey!
Hubby: Happy Anniversary to you too, love!
Me: Can't believe it's been a whole year. I mean, remember the wedding?
Hubby: How could I forget? Biggest moment of my franchise history.
Me: Totally. That is, biggest moment of my life. I mean, I was so nervous, I nearly forgot my vows.
Hubby: Or what to say in the post-game press conference. I was all choked up. It was bad, but great at the same time.
Me: Uh-huh. And all my friends and family were super-supportive, which was awesome.
Hubby: Yeah, I mean I couldn't have done this without my trainers and my family and the fan—
Me: Uh, yeah. Right. This is not your acceptance speech or anything, though, remember? It was a year ago. Already happened.
There is an awkward silence in which the waiter appears with a bottle of champagne. He pours it into the (very snazzy) glasses and leaves, after staring down his nose at our silence for a little while.
Me (laughing): Gotta say, though, I much prefer drinking champagne this way. As opposed to, you know, having it sprayed all over me.
Hubby (does not look amused- says coldly): Do you?
Me (laughing trailing off): Well, yes, actually. You might not understand that, being a Championship and all…
Hubby: Are you implying something about me?
Me: No! No! Not at all! Sit back down, hubby. Cool off. I was just saying that, you know, Championships have different preferences than humans as to how they drink their champagne. I don't think that's irrational of me or offensive or anything. It doesn't make you worse than me or whatever. Just… different.
Hubby: Hmm. Alright. Fine. (At this point the Championship takes out his iPhone and begins texting.)
Me: (Rolls eyes and drums manicured fingernails on the white tablecloth.)
Hubby: Oh, honey? I think I have to get going. Some other anniversary celebrations to attend. You don't mind, do you?
Me: WHAT?!
Hubby: Love you! See you next year!
(I drum my fingers a bit more, stare at him leaving the restaurant and then order up some garlic fries and reminisce on my own. That is, until the chef comes storming out of the kitchen, asking what I think I am implying about the restaurant by ordering garlic fries. I seem to be offending a lot of people today.
At last, I go home and reason that really, he is a Championship and I can't hold him responsible for his non-socially-acceptable behavior.)
Happy anniversary, y'all!

Dutch National Championships
On Sunday 25th of November the 25th edition of the national championships ITF Taekwon-Do in the Netherlands were held in Capelle aan de IJssel. Hosting the event this year were Sabum Art van der Lee and Sabum John Verkerke in mane of their club Oh Do Kwan, together with the national Tournament & Umpire committee concisting of Master Coos van den Heuvel, Sabum Patrick den Hoed, Sabum Emiel Kloor, Boosabum Corine Kool and mr. Henny van Zon.
The day started with an opening conducted by Sabum Art van der Lee. After this opening, all competitors bowed to the referees and the enthusiastic spectators. Directly after the official opening the word was given to Master James Tjin-A-Ton, the president of ITF-Netherlands. The new board of directors of ITF-Netherlands was introduced, and a present for former national coach Sabum Chiel Rombout was presented. After many years of hard work and great progress Sabum Chiel Rombout resigned earlier this year from his function as national coach. Besides a nice plaque he was given a special coupon for his second great love: kitesurfing. Also a new member club of ITF-Netherlands, TA Nimjae, which recently joined our organization, was introduced.
Mr. Art van der Lee
All competitors had the chance to fight and earn the title of national champion in all disciplines: Pattern, Sparring, Power Test, Special Techniques and Pre-Arranged Sparring. Given the fact that there were more than 280 competitors from 20 schools from all parts of the Netherlands, a high level of competition was guaranteed. Also, there were more than 60 referees present.
The day started with Patterns. The level throughout the day was high, and many beautiful and well-conducted patterns where presented to the umpires and spectators. After patterns were completed, sparring was started. It was good to see the different styles of fighting taught to the students by the coaches. Different tactics were presented, leading to all well-earned victories. In between sparring matches the other spectacular disciplines were performed: Special Techniques, Pre-Arranged Sparring and Power Test.
At the end of the day we can look back at a very successful tournament, and we can be proud of all students. Of course not all competitors won a medal, but participating is more important than winning. Congratulations to all the National Championsare of course in order!
On behalf of all competitors, coaches, parents and spectators, we want to thank everyone who helped for their efforts during this day! At the same time, we can look forward to the next Dutch National Championships, which will be organized by Master Willy van de Mortel and his club Difesa.

We are excited to announce the launch of the Official Website for the ITF Kids Development Programme. This colourful and interactive website will be a fantastic tool for teaching and learning as it is not just for Instructors but has dedicated sections for Kids, Parent and for Instructors. To visit the Kids Program website please follow this link: www.tkd-kids.org more content will be added very soon.
...Read moreAs you may be aware the ITF Board of Directors recently established a new Marketing & Development committee for the ITF. This committee has been very active since our appointment in setting up new modes of communicating with our members, for example a number of social media pages such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Picasa and YouTube. We are happy to say that these pages and channels have started to receive a strong following, especially the Facebook page which now has almost 5,500 members. However we need your support to help them to become even stronger and to establish a connection with all our members worldwide. Please share these connections with your members.

...Read moreThe ITF Board of Directors would like to wish all our members and their families a very happy Christmas period and a prosperous New Year ahead.
...Read moreDear Members and Visitors,
I would like to formally inform you that at World Championships 2013 – ITF Anti-Doping Unit subjected 10 athletes to doping control. The tests were by random selection and included 4 gold medallists, 8 males 2 females were tested.
Athletes tested from :
Italy – Poland – Argentina – Russia - USA – France – Ukraine
The confirmed result are as follows:
All athletes tested had – No Prohibited Substances detected.
There are no disciplinary or legal issues for ITF Ethics and Discipline committee to consider at this time.
I would like to thank you formally for your support. Special sincere thanks to Grand Master Bos, without who's support this significant step forward in ITF's International standing would not have been possible.
ITF Doping control Unit was formally commended by PWC (our appointed testing organisation from Germany) for the empathic and professional way the tests were conducted.
The process was in full compliance with international WADA standards. The attitude and interactions with the athletes selected for testing, coaches, tournament organises and ITF officials were especially mentioned and are a credit to all of us affiliated with ITF.
Kind regards,
Yours in Taekwon-Do,
Dr. Richard Aboud
ITF Medical Director & Chairman of Anti-Doping
...Read moreAn ITF delegation led by its President GM Pablo Trajtenberg accompanied by Master Ruben Marchini 8th Degree and 6th Degree Fernando Castro visited the island of Cuba from November 19th to 23rd.
During that time they visited the city of Camaguei where they attended to different gyms in order to observe how the activity is developed in the country. They were received with an exhibition by practitioners from different provinces who showed an excellent level.
This request to the ITF came from Instructor Eugenio Villafranca, who is an old practitioner of the ITF style in Cuba (he was separated from Instructor Reina who was aligned with GM Choi) for that reason he organized during 3 days a 12 hours seminar conducted by the ITF delegation, which was attended by approximately 30 Black Belts.
On the technical level we can say that although it needs some adjustment it is in the hands of passionate practitioners with a very good physical condition and that they gradually will have an excellent development, also they organized a banquet with traditional gifts as part of an excellent protocol. During the visit we had the opportunity to publicise the ITF including one interview for television.
We can say that a new country has been added to the ITF that even with a lack of financial resources that other countries have, it has a human potential and of quality worthy of notice.
...Read more88th International Instructors Course - Oostende-Belgium November 22nd-24th, 2013
ITF-Belgium hosted the 88th International Instructors Course with the ITF Technical Committee, GM Hector Marano, GM Willem Jacob Bos and GM Kim Ung Lan.
It was the 3rd time an IIC was held in Belgium, the first time in Oostende, the biggest town at the belgian coast.
Registration started on Thursday November 21st. This was necessary, since there were 236 participants coming from 21 different countries. Amongst them 2 GrandMasters, GM Rolf Becking from Germany & GM Orello Ellis (UK), and 19 Masters.
On Friday and Saturday the course was organised in the "Royal Stables", a building with a history. It was built by a norvegian architect on demand of King Leopold II. Later it was the first basketbal arena used by the club of Oostende, playing in the First League.
Because of the big amount of participants the Technical Committee decided to have two "separate" IIC's, one for I° to III° degree, one for IV°degree and up. This was nice since this way all participants had the opportunity to see their whole program.
Friday evening 143 persons participated at the banquet.
On Saturday afternoon, after the classes of that day, there was the closing ceremony. Master Frank Vanberghen presented the GrandMasters paintings he had made especially for them. Also Master Christa Wintzer, 8th degree, was honoured. At the age of 70 she decided this was her last IIC.
Saturday evening at the top floor, the 9th floor, of hotel Ravelingen the organizers invited all GrandMasters and Masters for a nice dinner.
Sunday morning the venue was in Ravelingen, where most of the participants were staying. It was reserved for the Kids Development Program, conducted by Master Donato Nardizzi.
Meanwhile in the meeting rooms on the 4th floor there were a lot of gradings going on.
It was really an honour for the organizing committee to welcome all the participants to Oostende.

A 59-year-old female with history of breast and ovarian CA was being evaluated because of an incidentally noted left ventricular mass on a routine follow-up breast MRI. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms detected a large pedunculated LV mass, 6.4cm in the long axis and 2.4cm in the short axis, attached to the apex. Differential diagnosis for the mass included a thrombus, tumor (primary or secondary), or a hypertrophied papillary muscle. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has emerged as a new non-invasive cardiac imaging modality providing superior information to echocardiography in the evaluation of patients with a suspected intracardiac mass allowing for better tissue characterization. CMR demonstrated a large cylindrical mass attached to the apex, nearly iso-intense with the myocardium that does not thicken with systole. Inversion recovery imaging sequence confirmed the mass to be a thrombus. Delayed enhancement imaging showed an antero-lateral-apical scar consistent with distal left anterior descending (LAD) artery infarct of the anterior left ventricular wall. The patient had no history of a prior MI and had no previous ischemic cardiac work up and had a normal EKG. The formation of a large thrombus on top of a small apical infarct is presumably a result of a hypercoagulable state caused by her malignancy. Patient was started on anticoagulation with warfarin and a follow-up echo 3 months later showed dramatic reduction in the thrombus size to 1.6cm x 2.2cm. Left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation after a myocardial infarction occurs in up to 30% of patients. These are mostly seen with LV apical and anterior infarcts, and are associated with high risk of systemic embolization. Herein, we describe a case of an exceptionally large intracavitary thrombus overlying an apical infarct in a patient with a probable hypercoagulable state from ovarian CA. There was no proof for the presence of this apical infarct before the findings of the delayed enhancement images, which played a crucial role in making the diagnosis of the case and the underlying pathology.

Correction: U.S. Patents for Garutso Balanced Lenses
The previous citation is an IBM invention with a completely different technical purpose from Garutso's.
The correct patent references for the Garutso Balanced Lenses, as used in the various films mentioned, are these:
U.S. 2,550,685, U.S. 2,591,535 and U.S. 2,651,237.

Very good play
Jose Ferrer plays a great Cyrano. The movie stays true to the play for the most part. A must see. I downloaded the MPEG2 and had no problems burning it to DVD so I could view it on TV. The file is huge but the movie is worth it.

Garutso Balanced Lens
Technical note regarding "Cyrano de Bergerac" [1950] and the Garutso Balanced Lens. The Garutso Balanced Lens is an insitu camera lens effectively simulating a faux 3D effect by keeping the foreground and background in focus at the same time. "Deputy Marshal" [1949] was the first feature film employing the Garutso Balanced Lens followed by "Apache Chief" [1949], "Cyrano de Bergerac" [1950], and "The Wild One" [1953].
US patent 5212589 [1953]
"A lens system having discrete variations of focal length at discrete distances of radius outward from the optic axis for focussing light of plural wavelengths. The lens system which directs a laser beam onto a target for ablation or exposure applications includes one set of lens elements to handle short wavelength light used for ablation or exposure applications, and another set of lens elements to handle long wavelength light used for alignment applications. The lens system which provides for the ablation or exposure functions at short wavelength and for through-the-lens alignment at a longer wavelength and higher numerical aperture consists of three elements. Two outer lens elements are made entirely of fused quartz. An inner element disposed between the two outer lens is composed of any material such as optical glass. The inner lens element has a hole ground through its center."
The Garutso Balanced Lens is still being used: "Yellow " [2005] and "Bauerfeind" [2009].

This is the way Cyrano was meant to be performed. The original dialogue and the remarkable performances in this film are simply not to be missed. Watch it now and enjoy. Fabulous.
malary -
What a film! I usually don't particular like it when a play is put on film, but this was absolutely charming. I love the dialogue, especially the scene at the beginning where Cyrano says things like "Small my nose? Why, magnificent my nose!" and such. Jose Ferrar greatly deserved any awards that he got for this role. 'Bravo' to all the cast and crew!
Danial -
Jose Ferrar at his best!
This has to be in the top 5 best movies found on the Archive. Thanks again, to those who make these great offerings available to us.
Antsy -
Much appreciated
Obviously a great classic performance of a great play. I was delighted to find it on archive.org, as it was an old favourite of mine. The MPEG2 copy here is good, although the contrast is rather poor.
I only want to add that I had no problem playing this or any other film downloaded from this site on either the VLC player (www.videolan.org) or KMPlayer (just search, it can be downloaded from several places). These are both free, and both play almost any media file without the need for additional codecs. I've never had either of them try to uninstall any existing software on my computers nor have they caused any conflicts. If you're having trouble, you might try one or the other.
Shadows_Girl -
Not Really a Review---WAIT, YES IT IS.
OK, Jose Ferrer (Mel's dad if you're a big CROSSING JORDAN fan), and, as if that weren't enoigh we get !!! A FLOURISH OF TRUMPETS!!!
Mala Powers, who died just last June from Leukemia, and who appeared in over 70 movies and television shows during her career. Hard to believe Cyrano was only her fourth.
Then William Prince: This actor looks AND sounds a LOT like Lew Ayres which probably didn't help him any in getting film roles. Most of his work, until a couple of years before his death in 1996, was on television.
OK..about this adaptation of the play. It's the best. OK, you may have and may still see other films or television presentations that give you the WHOLE play but you will NEVER see Cyrano played better than Mr. Ferrar did here. (There's a reason it got him the best actor Oscar for that year---AND a Golden Globe).
If you have sound but no video (I have observed this problem with several different files) one way to fix this is to install the k-lite codec pack which you can now download from the archive...just go HEREk http://www.archive.org/details/K-liteCodecPack
THEN watch your movie in the Windows Classic Media Player that comes with that pack. I did it and sound and picture both work fine.
One note about the codec pack. 2 things will happen when you install the first of the two downloads I have put here for you. ONE it will drag you to K-Lite's official webpage to get the update. But you already have the update (I assume you downloaded BOTH files) so just shut their page down with a nod of thanks and go ahead and install the update. The second thing that will happen is that it will try to UNinstall any divx software you may have. Depending on how much storage space and how much RAM you have it is usually safe to keep your old software as well as this. It will try to argue with you but be firm. I have tried it BOTH ways and I have more choice keeping both and no system instability either. But that's up to you I just wanted to give you a head's up.
flickfdude -
A very entertaining, emotionally engaging film. The MPEG 1 is a good copy.
billbarstad -
A very enjoyable telling of the tragic romance. Well produced and directed. Stagy at times. Jose Ferrer is excellent as Cyrano.
I downloaded the mpeg1 file. Audio and video are fine.

Use Quicktime 7 under Apple's System 10.39; it never fails
I've downloaded somewhere between 300-400 movies off of this site and never had any trouble playing those movies using the above combination of software and burning those movies to DVD using Final Cut Pro. This is despite comments left by other people who seem to be having various odd problems playing and burning those same movies. For instance, I just downloaded and watched the MP4 version of this movie, Cyrano de Bergerac, and had no problems with it . . . the sound is all there and so is the picture. Try the above setup, it always works perfectly for me.
As to my opinion of this movie, it was the best version available until Gerard Depardieu did his in French (worth learning the language if only for that reason). As a side note, I think his version of the Count of Monte Christo (also in French) is also very good.

can't download
I have tried all formats yet my media players won't play this----any suggestions?

Marvelous if I could hear it
As of the other day I was able to download the mpg1 file (about 1.2 gb) and I'm delighted to see and hear it from beginning to end. A nice thrill and a marvelous piece of classic cinema!

Mpeg2 doesn't work for me
I just tried the Mpeg2 version and is stops after about 11 minutes. I tried it with 5 different video player programs and it's no go.
It's a great movie I hope it gets fixed, but I wouldn't waste my time downloading 4.4Gig until it does.
IAmTheRedDragon -
A classic!!
I had the same problem as the previous two posters, having downloaded the MPG file and then the MP4 file, to find that neither had sound after about 15 minutes. I have now downloaded the MPEG2 file and can confirm that it has sound throughout. The only problem I had with it, is that the last minute or 2 seems to be missing - it cuts off abruptly during the last scene and there are no end titles. Don't know if this is just me, or is this copy missing the last minute or so?
In any case, this is such a brilliant movie - so well written, and Jose Ferrer's acting in the lead role is superb, really making this wonderful feisty character his own. I saw this film years ago and was so impressed with it, and it's great to see it again. Very recommended.

An accessory package for the H1 Handy Recorder.
Tape recorders used to be a valuable accessory for the songwriter or performer looking to quickly capture those inspired ideas without a lot of fuss. The problem was the compact cassette is notoriously unreliable, prone to breaking and getting caught up in the tape recorder mechanism, and often making recordings of questionable sound quality. There is also the problem of storage – you'd often end up with hundreds of tapes, usually unmarked, quietly deteriorating on the shelf. These days there are a multitude of digital portable recorders available that do away with the need for tapes and record onto built in Flash memory or a SD card. These recorders typically come with some really useful features, including built in stereo microphones, (often in a stereo XY pattern for added clarity) onboard limiters and recording modes, USB ports to transfer the recording to an external computer, and the ability to edit, loop and slow down recordings on playback. At Musician's Friend we have an extensive selection including TASCAM Portable & Field Recorders and Sony Portable & Field Recorders so whatever it is you want to record; birdsong in the desert, your band practice or the chord progression that's been eluding you for days, we have the recorder for you. As with everything we sell, all our Portable & Field Recorders are supported by our price & satisfaction guarantees and free standard shipping applies to all orders except heavy items.

At TCW we get press releases on everything from beauty and hair care products to energy drinks and diet advice, and it's increasingly irritating to see how, more often than not, a celebrity's name is linked with the product.
JLo uses this perfume. Beyoncé has this designer's clutch.
I say, "So what?" And it looks like I'm in the minority these days. Celebrity news, no matter how trite, is everywhere. And you've got to wonder whether this celebrity feeding frenzy is becoming mainstream. What used to be the realm of tabloid trash like the National Enquirer and Star now has a foothold in all aspects of print, electronic and social media. It seems as if the barrage of celebrity reporting from birth to breakup, is regurgitated by the media, regardless of how miniscule the detail.
And what features have been pushed in the background? Hard news, such as world events and government reporting, for starters. More Americans can name Brad Pitt's girlfriends than the three branches of government. And there are other negatives, as well. Research shows that teen's mental health is impacted negatively the more they believe that happiness is derived from fame, beauty and money. And, while this factoid might be a boon for cosmetic surgeons, increasing numbers of Americans undergo plastic surgery because they want to appear younger and feel better about themselves due to the influence of celebrity worship and the American obsession with youth. Then there's reality TV. Don't get me started.
And here's a final thought: 'To be thronged' is the original Latin meaning of celebrity.

Are you happy you didn't sell your SUV?
boaz47 Posts: 2,750You know I think you are pretty much the norm. Most people don't care what someone else drives they simply care about what works best for them. The only peer pressure I ever got on buying a SUV verses a Pick-up or Mini Van wasn't from one of my peers it was from my son. He pleaded with me not to get a mini van because if I would have ever driven him to school his friends would think I had to drive his moms car. My wife wouldn't drive a mini van so if we had two cars and one was a mini van I would have driven it.
There is a segment of our society that does believe they have the right or duty to determine what everyone else drives. They know best and everyone else just doesn't get why they shouldn't be consulted when we go to the dealership. -

scottinky Posts: 194i had one, a beautiful Nissan Armada. Lost 5500 dumping it when prices spked to get a Honda Odyssey. I wish I woudl have kept it. the money I lost could have paid
off my home equity loan, and I would still be driving the best vehicle I have ever had.
I would gladly trade the $250 a month I save in gas/payment for the quiet ride the big SUV had. Minivans are practical, but they suck, its like driving a toaster oven. -
zoomzoomn Posts: 65Look. I realize that based solely on being green that my owning an SUV may seem totally selfish. You know what? I don't care. While it is used largely for commuting during the week, the weekends bring out the reason we purchased it. We have three kids, a boat and a large extended family. While we could do with less size, it would cramp our ability to do what we do. Add to that the fact that the smaller CUV's and such actually could have cost no less than the same and often more than our Armada did to purchase, the ONLY deficit in ownership ends up being the gas mileage and my carbon footprint. The former is not but by 2-4 mpg and the latter is mostly when it is used in normal commuting. That said, if they start bringing out hybrid versions of big SUV's that don't cost thousands more than the regular version, I'm all in. For now, though, it is what it is. For the record, I replaced my '03 Expedition for my '08 Armada during the gas price crisis.
scottinky Posts: 194doesn't really matter. i leased it through my business, and will be glad to walk away from it in 2 more years, from a fun to drive standpoint. Lets not kid ourselves, having had both an 08 Armada and now a minivan, the van kills the Armada in ease of use
and cargo hauling. getting in and out of that rig was a pain, and lifting my baby's car seat into the rear would have been a killer. storage behind the 3rd row seats couldnt accomodate a folded stroller or groceries like the van can, even when NOT folded.
I never had to haul more than 4 people so leaving the seats down in the Armada wasnt a big deal to me. If I were buying today, i would be getting a new Chevy Traverse, but when i buy next, I am getting a wagon. -
dave8697 Posts: 1,498My son did work a great internship last summer that required a dependable car and socked away about what I paid for the Mustang. He was willing to and did pay 2/3 of his dorm room upgrade this year and he bought himself a new computer for school. He treats it very different than his car. Nobody is allowed near it. And if a dvd of his gets touched, all hell breaks loose.
I find that I have to be the one who monitors the oil and coolant reservoir in his car. He did 9000 miles in the 10 weeks of summer and the car now has over 110k miles on it. -
bryan200k Posts: 64I saw the thread titled, "Are you happy you didn't sell your SUV?" and had to chime in my 5 dollars worth.
We have a 2003 GMC Envoy that we bought for the following reasons:
a) Utility - haul a lot of stuff at times
b) 7 passengers (have had to use quite often)
c) Pull our road trailer
d) 4WD capability here up North, especially when it snows.
When the gas got high, some others around us were dumping their SUV's, buying a small car, and the bottom line was they lost money on the deal. I figured till I sold the SUV, and bought a small car, the savings in gas would never make up for what I would lose on the deal.
Besides ... the four reasons for purchasing the SUV in the first place, still hold true, so why the heck would I get rid of it. -

daddysangel Posts: 14Agree with you about the Utility.
There was a mini Cooper spot that computed gas savings with one's current vehicle VS a new mini Cooper at $4.25/gallon for petrol/gasoline. I toyed with the spot several times.
However, with the low miles that my dad and I go around our small hometown in my 2005 Equinox LT, there's no rhyme or reason for trading to a mini Cooper.
According to the spot, I'd be in a deep hole looking up for ever :P
We'd have to put some bungie cords on my dad's rolling walker with it's bicycle streamers blowing in the wind while towing it behind us in the mini Cooper. Now that's an image to laugh at

ruking1 Posts: 15,289We have suv's that are literally at half of the ownership (30 year goal) time frame. One has app 11k per year and the other less than 8k per year. Due to business applications, they were never on a payment schedule and fully depreciated @ 5/6 years, A small issue: I still carry comprehensive insurance, as they stil have uncommon residual value. So the real persuader would be: how much over the monthly payments for a new economy car (say Civic- @ 400 per mo, plus the cost of gas $ 48. per mo. it actually uses) do I use for suv gas. So far the SUV gas ranges from 89-122 per month. What does the math say to others?

As the old robot on lost in Space used to say, "does not compute". -
boaz47 Posts: 2,750Standard battle tank mileage was about 3 gallons ot the mile. Even the old M-60. I might have been able to squeeze a few more MPG out of 548 or a APC.
What I was saying however that there were times when I was in heavy traffic in LA if I could have pulled 12 MPG out of a tank I might have been willing to drive one. Maybe just a Bradley if I could get them to leave the gun mount?
But On long highway trips I do get 12 MPG pulling a travel trailer with my SUV. This is a fantastic country to tour and visit. The four Corner states have some very interesting history and plenty of RV parks where you can stay for $20-$30 a night. Unhook the SUV and drive to plenty of interesting sites. In May I would like to go see Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone. All things that make me glad I didn't sell my SUV. Without the trailer I can still pull down 16-17 MPG in comfort. -
boaz47 Posts: 2,750What do the hybrid SUVs get? My best friend just got back from a 3 month trip through the lower 48. He has a brand new Danali loaded with the 6.0 and he averaged just about 20.
I like my Tahoe and I would love it with a Diesel. Right now I believe I have the same size motor as you do, a 5.7? Cat back and cold air. But it looks like I might need a new muffler after all the snow I was in last year.
So far the best diesel I have owned was my old 7.2 Ford Powerstroke. 20 MPG towing 5000 pounds. But it had more than 500 Pounds feet of torque. Put that motor in my Tahoe and it would get 25 easy. The F-250 was a heavy beast.
Don't need XM because I prefer a multi changer with a good speaker system. The drop down DVD player is a nice option as well even if we have a flat screen in the RV. So leather, heated seats, zone heating and air, I have 4wd but 2wd would get better fuel mileage, and a towing package works for me. The Nav system is a nice addition as well. -
gagrice San DiegoPosts: 29,248You know that was a real plus in the GMC Hybrid PU. The Bose system was far superior to the JBL in this Sequoia. I have a whole set of CDs that I burnt right from the originals. Then I only play the copy CD. This Toyota will not play half the CDs I have. Skips and has no changer. Changer and XM is not available with this lame NAV. If I could put the Audio and climate control from the GMC into the Toyota I would be way ahead here. Of course this pig is still lucky to get 17 MPG on the road. And it is only a 4.7L V8. It is about equal to the GMC 5.3L power wise. I tell you that BMW X5 diesel had some power. It was almost scary. I am sure I would get a ticket as it just jumps from 50 to 85 MPH. Passing on a hill with this Sequoia is marginal at best. It is not slow like a Prius or Corolla but nothing to write home about.
I am not totally sorry I bought this SUV. I probably should have waited till I found the diesel SUV I really want. I do have a young fellow that is very interested in the Sequoia. He has two kids with one on the way. Not room in his Rav4 for 3 child seats. He was working on my overhead door and fell in love with the Sequoia. He knew all about them and acted like he wanted to try and get financing. I won't give it away. I have the patience of Job when selling a vehicle. The GMC was on Craigslist over a year till I got my price. -
stevedebi LAPosts: 3,863"You know I am now 65 years old and have not seen Yellowstone. It is on my list for sure. Now if I can just find an SUV I like that gets 30+ MPG on the highway, I may be satisfied. As long as it has XM radio. "
The Ford Escape Hybrid will net you 30+, if you stay around 70 MPH. I get around 32 with my 2008 AWD FEH @ 75 MPH.
It is no good for towing, however.
But it does have satellite radio, I'm not sure which one (the 2008 didn't come with it). -
gagrice San DiegoPosts: 29,248The Escape is kind of small. I can get 30 on the highway with an X5 or ML320 CDI. Both a lot bigger, better handling, quieter, more comfortable. I don't want to give up my Sequoia until I can get something better. Though if VW were to sell the Tiguan with the 4 cylinder diesel it would be worth the downsize. It should get near 40 on the highway. That and my Sister and brother in law just tried to buy a FEH in October. No discounts, which ended up $10k more than the V6 they got that is loaded. I rode in back and it was not comfortable AT ALL. They like taking ours when we go on trips to the desert.

... and both are a LOT more expensive. I think the Tiguan is about the same size as the FEH. As to price, it depends on where you shop. The dealer here tends to keep them on the lot (last time I checked), where as some dealers in the mid west have maybe one or two per quarter. Ford only produces 25K FEH per year due to lack of batteries. -

explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 10,002my wife still loves her '04 escape, but we are kind of looking for another vehicle due to too many drivers and not enough cars; opposite of you.
with some fortera triple treads on it, she has no problems when the weather is bad.
that's usually when she points out how much she likes it.
we have 4 fords, so we will be looking at another one.
my wife wants an escape hybrid. there is a limited model now like she has now, but they are very expensive.
i am thinking the 4cyl/6 speed limited would be a good choice for us, instead.
while doing my research, i noticed the escape has about the same cargo capacity as an edge! -

You would not make up the difference in price unless you own for 6 - 10 years (depends on gas prices). I got the FEH because I wanted the technology, and all my miles are in town. But the FEH limited is pricey unless you can find a deal. Also, unless you live in California, there may be very limited selection.
If you can sign a deal before March 30, you can qualify for the Hybrid tax credit, which runs $3000 for the FWD and $2200 for he AWD.

Marat Safin Says Sister Dinara Will Retire
October 6, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Parvez Fatteh, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, email@example.com
Former world number one women's tennis player Dinara Safina has "no chance" of making a comeback from her back injury and will soon announce her retirement, according to big brother Marat Safin.
Safina, 25, has not played since early May because of persistent low back pain. She announced in August that she would not play again this year."I don't know how long my time out is going to last because I don't want to torture myself and my body anymore," Dinara announced at that time.
But brother Marat said she had quit for good."If you recall, Dinara first suffered the injury in Beijing two years ago," the former men's world number one was quoted as saying on Saturday by Russian media. "She had tried several times to make a comeback but it only caused her more problems.
"Now she must think of herself, not if she could play again, but just to live a normal life. She must continue with her therapy, but would not be able to play again. She will make an official announcement, but being her brother, I think she has no chance at all of making a comeback."

In the battle to save the planet, trees are on the front lines. The act of planting trees, as thoroughly detailed in this book, has broad societal effects that go far beyond forest boundaries and city limits. Against the backdrop of the many developments contributing to the environmental degradation of the planet—shrinking forest cover, cropland degradation, growing population, accumulation of greenhouse gases, and a thinning stratospheric ozone layer—no single action can turn the tide. Yet, planting trees and nurturing them to maturity is one thing an individual can do to put society on the track to a sustainable future.
The advantages for the local community or city are readily apparent. Tree-lined streets are inviting and aesthetic, and urban forests provide a local getaway for city dwellers who routinely spend their weekends in search of wooded seclusion. These obvious benefits only hint at the broader implications. Livable cities can be energy efficient, enticing people to live closer to their jobs and to stay in the area during their leisure time rather than trying to escape at every opportunity. The trees that beautify also moderate city temperatures, reducing energy consumption for air conditioning and making summer heat less oppressive.
Tree planting also fosters community spirit and pride, bringing people together for a meaningful purpose that can build the bridges and promote the understanding that brings the neighborhood together. The initial efforts of the tree planters compound themselves as others find in the trees a deeper appreciation of the community as well as natural beauty. It is the beginning of the formation of new values that is the foundation for citywide transformation. The newly organized group can further push for bike paths, improvements in public transportation, and changes to make the area less congested, less polluted, and more livable.
Global deforestation is proceeding at an appalling rate, estimated at 150 square miles daily. Besides leading to the extinction of thousands of plant and animal species each year, deforestation contributes to greenhouse warming. Trees that are growing remove the primary heat-trapping gas, carbon dioxide, from the atmosphere, using it to produce wood in their growth. Cutting down trees begins the process of releasing carbon back into the atmosphere. If the area is not reforested, there is a net buildup in carbon dioxide. Worldwide deforestation currently accounts for roughly one-fourth of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
Although deforestation is primarily a problem in the tropics, industrial countries are still the primary source of carbon dioxide, due to the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gases such as chlorofluorocarbons and nitrous oxide. With a business-as-usual scenario, the buildup of these gases in the atmosphere is projected to cause a rise in global temperatures of five degrees Fahrenheit by late in the next century. Such a change would cause a major disruption of natural ecosystems and agriculture and result in the flooding of coastal areas. Reversing the deforestation of the earth can slow global warming as trees take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, thus serving as a sink for excess carbon dioxide.
Trees affect regional climates because of their part in the hydrological cycle. In one study, researchers found that three quarters of the rain that fell in a forested region of the Amazon Basin was returned to the atmosphere through evaporation and transpiration from the trees, with only one-quarter of the rainfall leaving the site as runoff into the streams to return to the ocean. The moisture recycled into the atmosphere replenishes clouds, moving the precipitation further inland. On deforested land, the ratio of evaporation-transpiration to runoff is roughly reversed, with three-quarters of the rainfall leaving the land. In vast areas of the interior of Africa, shrinking tree cover has seemingly weakened this link in the hydrological cycle, resulting in reduced rainfall and more frequent drought.
The increase in runoff from deforested slopes is a disaster for communities downstream. Without the trees to slow runoff, the rain carries away topsoil and can cause flooding. In India, the frequency of severe, crop-damaging floods has more than doubled since 1960. In the Philippines, extensive logging for tropical hardwoods has resulted in flooded agricultural land as well as irrigation reservoirs nearly filled in with the soil that eroded from once-forested land.
In many countries today, winning the battle against environmental degradation and economic decline depends on planting trees and planning families. Unfortunately, although much of the Third World has recognized the need for reforestation, successful efforts to reverse the loss of forests are rare indeed. South Korea, which has reforested its once-denuded hills and mountain sides, planting an area of fast-growing pines roughly two-thirds its area in rice, is the only developing country to reverse its deforestation. Among the industrialized nations, Australia has announced a major tree-planting program for the decade to restore two-thirds of the tree cover lost since European settlement, around 1 billion trees, and the United States has vaguely defined plans to plant 10 billion trees—a laudable goal if achieved.
Every tree planted is another step forward in the battle to save the planet, not only because of its environmental contributions, but because individual actions help to build the political momentum needed to push governments to take broader action. TreePeople is a pioneer in this area. Started in 1973 by a fifteen-year-old boy with a love of planting trees, its initiative has grown and grown, to the point where Los Angeles is adopting its plan to forest the entire city.
In this book, The Simple Act of Planting a Tree, TreePeople shares with us years of practical experience in planting trees in urban settings. From it, we can learn not only how to plant trees and nurture them until they mature, but how to bring nature into the urban environment, how to rebuild a sense of community, and how to make a difference in a world in need of change. This book is about changing the way we view our environment and the world.

A new treasure to add to my closet
Love, love, love this dress. Mines arrived today. I ordered the xs and its perfect. It fits tight without feeling uncomfortable. Its not too short and the tail just makes it even more sexier because it hides the shortness in the back of the dress no matter how short it appears in the front. You can practically get away with it being short, without looking trashy. Its very sexy, provocative. Im a born leo so getting attention isnt new, but Im sure to get some stares in this dress. I love the feeling I already have before going out with it. Im 5 feet and 116 pounds and my bust is 32, D cup. The material is thick but you wont have any problems with the dress riding up. Please dont let this dress pass you by. This is a one of kind sure to be sexy dress. Sad I couldnt get it in blue, but Im not disappointed because the black is really awesome. Sexy, sophisticated.
June 26, 2013
Sexy and classy!
I love this dress, it is so cute! The sheer adds elegance to it even though the dress is conforming. The small fits me perfectly, form fitting but not too tight and the length is just right. I am 5'4" 140lbs measuring 32-27-42. The material is slightly ribbed, which I love and it does have a little padding in the shoulders which I usually don't like but it's not overwhelming. Cannot wait to wear it to my cousins wedding next week!

Ballet Magnificat
01.18.13 |
Family Life is hosting Ballet Magnificat! for a series of compelling performances in March. The graceful artistry of this premiere Christian dance company is an unforgettable experience! Get more information about performance dates, locations, and tickets.
Ballet Magnificat! will be debuting one of its newest ballets, The Scarlet Cord. The story draws audiences into a world where two missionaries are unwilling to compromise their faith in Jesus. The missionaries live and minister in one of the cruelest regimes the world has ever known - the communist Soviet Union. The main character, Rahab, learns a hard lesson when she's abandoned by a Soviet commander, her one and only love. The missionaries share the hope of Jesus to this dejected woman, and Rahab's heart gloriously turns to God through a dramatic plan for redemption.
