Greg Johnson,
EditorSAN DIEGO — Don't get your hopes up for comprehensive immigration reform, this year or in the near future.
First, let's commend industry leaders, both from associations and volunteer leaders, for the hundreds of hours of work they've put in on immigration reform.
It's a vital issue in agriculture, and particularly the produce industry, so it's an issue for which it's worth finding solutions.
The work that the Agricultural Workforce Coalition and farm worker representatives have done has been important and shows cooperation.
What follows is not a criticism of what they've done or how they've gone about it.
The fresh produce industry generally agrees growers rely on immigrant labor — many times undocumented — and it's not a good long-term strategy. But there are just too many factors standing in the way of meaningful reform right now.
At a May 15 immigration workshop at United Fresh 2013, a few of these leaders gave us an update on where immigration reform sits in Congress.
In mid-May, the Senate Judiciary Committee began hearings on Senate bill 744, called the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act." As we said in a Packer editorial a month ago, the Senate bill is only the first of many steps that will become harder.
At the workshop, speakers identified that the biggest obstacle for immigration and farm labor reform this year will likely be matching up legislation that passes the Senate with a similar bill in the House.
Barry Bedwell, chairman of the United Fresh government relations council and president of the Fresno-based California Grape and Tree Fruit League, said the coalition is pushing the wording and agreements from the Senate bill to members of the House of Representatives.
That's a good goal, but there's an obvious problem. Many Republican House members oppose any immigration bill that hints at amnesty for illegal immigrants, and it's reasonable to assume that's the way their constituents feel (national polling is generally mixed on immigration and largely influenced by the way the questions are asked).
Bedwell conceded that amnesty is a flashpoint.
He said the industry needs to appeal to House reps who oppose reform by telling them that politics is more important than representing their constituents. Not to pick on Bedwell, but that's an arguable point.
Even so, that's an argument President Obama made to many moderate Democratic reps during the health care reform bill debate, which passed in 2009 on party lines, and contributed to the Republicans retaking the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

8Longed-for Home Office
Photo: IKEA.com |
Materials: Hemnes with add on unit plus one more add on unit
Description: Coveting a desk I'd found on-line five years ago and not being able to find it in my area nor probably afford it, the following was my solution.
We bought the Hemnes desk with add-on unit plus one more add-on unit to get the height I was looking for.
Hubby built the desk per the Ikea directions until he got to the add-on unit. We flipped it upside down — so the drawers were at the top and left the middle trim piece off of the top (which is really now the bottom). He did add the trim pieces on each of the columns and then placed a shelf over the opening — kind of makes hidden storage that no one knows about but us!
Inspiration photo |
Hubby cut down the top piece to a little wider than the add-on unit and then stacked the second add-on unit on top.
I figure I got my longed-for office space for about a third of the price.

"He did add the trim pieces on each of the columns and then placed a shelf over the opening — kind of makes hidden storage that no one knows about but us!"
…and everyone who has read this post.
I really like the looks of this. And all kidding aside, the hidden storage is a bonus. Would it be possible to put the unused center trim piece on the bottom of the "top" hutch (on the same level as the top drawers) to cover the gap made between the two shelves to make additional hidden (and larger) storage just like your hubby did with the column shelf and trim?
Also, what are the dimensions of the opening of the hutch? I'm wondering how wide of a monitor could be used in this.
Good job!
The work area is great, just needs some color on the wall. Maybe like a light beige or khaki?
That looks amazing! Also, kudos for not calling is a built-in for no apparent reason.
Brilliant! So neat! Just love the whole thing. Want to do the same for my husband office… and finally have it decluttered (hopefully!)
@ Ostracan C. E. — don't think I didn't realize I just let everyone in on that little secret and had to resist adding "and now all of you". haha. Had he thought ahead, he would have put a hinge on it as right now it's just a loose board sitting there.
The opening on the hutch is 27-1/4″ wide and 24 inches tall. My iMac fits in there just nicely!
And what you can't see is the pre-drilled holes allow the USB cords for the camera to run into the polka-dot basket that also stores the camera! Handy but out of sight.
Thanks all for your kind words! Carla -
We copied you! Thank you so much for the inspiration
Thinking of doing the same, only in white with a Hemnes glass door cabinet on each side – to make a wall desk piece. If I understand you right – the lower 'add-on' piece your hubby built upside down, then made its normal top a bit more narrow so the 2nd add-on piece stacked on nicely. Is that right? I'm not getting where the 'secret' compartment is….put it this way….we can put the furniture together – but other than that, we're not very handy. How difficult is it to do what you hubby did
Hey, this looks amazing. I was wondering, how width across is the leg well? I see the monitor area is 27″ across and the elg well below looks about the same. I'm thinking of getting the same one and doing something similar, but my partner is wheelchair bound, so trying to figure out if she'd be able to roll her wheelchair in without getting stuck or catching her knuckles on the sides of the cabinets.

Nov. 1st, 1910. Mr. Edward L. Burton, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dear Sir:- As you have already been advised, Mr. W. B. Thomas, President of the American Sugar Refining Company, has referred your letter to him under date of Oct. 14th, to the officers of the Amalgamated Sugar Company for answer. In compliance with the wishes of Mr. Thomas, I therefore take pleasure in so answering your letter, only regretting that you found it necessary to trouble Mr. Thomas with matters relating to corporate affairs, more easily discussed with the individual Directors of the Sugar Company here in Utah, all of whom, I always supposed you considered your personal and business friends, and each one of whom have a well earned reputation in this community for being both honest and just. In the outset let me say that I shall not attempt to discuss the legal status of this question, or whether this matter should be taken into Court, because it would be difficult to find any legal proposition that could not receive the endorsement of some competent counsel on both sides of the controversy. Suffice it to say, that as President of this Company, I feel myself under obligation to guard the rights of each stockholder as much as every other, and that I do not intend to take any important corporate step without the guidance of competent counsel. I suppose also that if the Courts should determine that the present plan is not feasible,E. L. B. #2 some legal plan can be devised by which 96% or 97% of the stockholders will be able to effect the best corporate interests for the benefit of the entire Company. In discussing this matter with Mr. Thomas and the Board of Directors, we unanimously agreed upon the plan presented as the most equitable and just solution of a problem that has long confronted us. The gradually rising value of our Common stock has become a menace to the industry, and we therefore felt that an increased number of equal dividend bearing shares would be beneficial and remedial. To be forced to increase the price of raw material, especially in view of the present rapid decline in the price of the manufactured article, coupled withthreatened Congression al adverse legislation, would hurt every stockholder and would probably reduce both stocks below their present market value. At the same time we recognized that all of the legitimate excess earnings up to date of right belong to the Common stockholders, and should be paid to them; but a dividend-distribution would not restrain, but rather enhance the objections mentioned. To obviate this condition, and having in mind the welfare of the whole corporation and the entire industry, we thought the present plan would more than compensate the Common stockholders for all their earnings. It proposes to give them cash sufficient to purchase an equal number of Preferred shares to the number of Common shares now held by them, and in E. L. B. #3 addition thereto give them an equal number of shares under the new plan as they now possess in the old corporation. Thereafter, the entire earnings of the corporation could annually be distributed among its stockholders without justifiable adverse comment, or without exciting adverse legislation. It seems to me that ever stockholder should see the advantage of this condition, unless a desire for immediate personal gain should cause him to sacrifice the welfare of the whole industry, with almost a certainty that sooner or later his individual holdings would also be disadvantageously affected. This, and this only, was the motive that induced us to present the present plan to the stockholders. Let me state to you in passing, that out of 15% of Common stockholders, situated as you are (myself among them), 11% have already acquiesed in the plan, and have seen the justice of surrendering present personal views in deference to the good of the entire corporation and the general industry. Now as to the three plans proposed by you. I shall not discuss your third plan, because it is merely a protest against any solution whatever. The other two proposed methods are really only a single plan for buying up the Preferred stock using in both instances the surplus money of the corporation, and in one case letting the Common stockholders furnish the remaining cash, and in the other, letting the corporation borrow money to furnish the necessary purchase price. Apart from the fact that the stock is non-assessable, and that E. L. B. #4 therefore we could not compel any stockholder to pay the proposed assessment, I desire to advise you that by far the largest number of our Common stockholders are persons not as financially able as you are to raise a few thousand or even a few hundred dollars; consequently it would be unjust confiscation to ask them to do so. Besides, instead of making our corporation a popular institution of many stockholders, it would have the contrary effect of making it a very close corporation, and more than ever make us the victim of anarchistic outcries and undeserved legislative punishment. In my opinion, such plan would be considered as impracticable as I think it cruel and as ruinous as it seems selfish. In solving the problem of avoiding the injuries resulting from distributing the means gathered up by careful management of our corporate affairs, we must constantly keep in mind two things: First: The public effect upon the industry and our own corporation; and second: The treatment of our stockholders in the most equitable manner that the circumstances will permit. To do nothing at all, is out of the question. It would be unpardonable to permit a further continuance of the serious menace of a rising value of the Common stock. That must be avoided. If it can not be accomplished in the way the Board of Directors have suggested, we must devise some other plan; and if none of them are feasible, I see no other way than to dissolve the corporation, sell the property to another company, have a more equit- E. L. B. #5 able charter, and then distribute all the assets among the present stockholders. This last method I know to be perfectly legal, but one that I should dislike to resort to until all other plans have been thoroughly investigated. I note also that you complain of sharing the voting pwer with the Preferred stock. Of course, that is simply a technical objection, because the voting power of your stock and that held by the gentlemen you represent, is to all practical purposes as great under the new plan as it is under the present charter. Whether under the present conditions you cast three or four per cent of the entire vote, or only one or two per cent under the new plan, would not make such material difference as to justify serious discussion. Now, Mr. Burton, I have fully and frankly stated to you the position of the Board of Directors upon this proposition. We have suggested the plan which after much consideration we thought would best serve the entire corporation, and which we therefore imagined would commend itself to the individual stockholders. It pleases me to know that it has the approval of all the stockholders, excepting 21 shares, (mostly held by Estates) and the Salt Lake interests who join you in opposition. I write this letter in confidence, as one stockholder to another, and I shall therefore expect you to treat it as such. With best personal regards, I remain, Yours very truly,

A bullet-riddled body lies on the street in a pool of blood. The lifeless, tattered remains of a fisherman are dredged from the harbor. Most people would do anything to avoid witnessing such scenes, but the dedicated members of Baltimore's Crime Lab go out of their way to record every detail of these tableaus.
SCENE OF THE CRIME follows the Crime Lab personnel as they perform their grisly task, collecting all manner of evidence from every crime scene in Baltimore. More than just photographers, they are skilled in detecting fingerprints, sketching and gathering physical evidence. They only have one chance to get it right, for after they have left, the crime scenes are opened to the public, and the chance to gather untainted evidence is lost.
This is an unvarnished look at what goes on beyond the yellow cordon of the SCENE OF THE CRIME.

The Bankers' Perspective
No question about it – small businesses are playing a major role in the revitalization of the American economy. And bankers have taken notice. Many say they're committed to lending to small and medium-sized, established businesses. But there's a caveat.
"The biggest factor banks look at is the business's capacity to repay," affirms Marsha Cruzan, Chicago market president, U.S. Bank. The ability to repay is based on several elements, including a company's past history and the outlook for its future performance, according to Lisa Johnson, head of Wells Fargo Commercial Banking's Midwest Division.
"The factors we consider are specific to the business," explains Ms. Johnson. "A restaurant's ability to repay, for example, may be influenced by the price of food, the competitor who just opened down the street, or the changing demographics of the community it serves."
Along with the ability to repay, Citibank Illinois Retail President/Chicago Market President Mindy Mercaldo adds other factors they consider, including a business owner's credit history, collateral and experience. "Generally, banks want to see a few years of profitable business operations before they'll make a loan," she states.
A trusting relationship with a banker is critical to a business's success, and open communication is key, says Ms. Cruzan. "A banker who can sit at the same table with the business owner, her accountant and lawyer will have a clearer understanding of the business's challenges, goals and operating cycle," she explains. "By providing your banker with that insight, you arm yourself with a partner that is ready to help you grow today and in the future."
Ms. Johnson underscores the importance of having a relationship with not only a banker, but other professionals at the bank who should be familiar with the business, the industry in which it operates and its areas of risk. "This relationship is best built through in-person meetings at the business owner's place of business," she explains, "where the owner can more easily include other members of his/her management team."
Ms. Johnson points to Corporate Concepts, a Chicago-based Wells Fargo supplier led by Majority Owner/CEO Victoria Hansel. Last year, Wells Fargo approved a working capital loan to support the company's growth, allowing the company to acquire and stage inventory to support large office build-outs. "Corporate Concepts is a fundamentally healthy business that has performed successfully through challenging cycles," she says. "Its management team has invested time and energy in its relationship with us – significant factors in the decision to extend credit."
The discussion with a banker should include short- and long-term goals, states Ms. Mercaldo. "You need to be upfront about your challenges," she adds. "Let your banker know if you're facing challenges or areas where you would like more expertise. Remember, your banker is there to help you."
The length of the application process for a business loan depends on the complexity of the business and its collateral, says Ms. Johnson. "For example, there are regulations surrounding the evaluation of real estate collateral, including the use of appraisers, the need for flood plain insurance and environmental assessments that impact how quickly a loan can be improved and funded." For those who don't qualify for a bank loan, there are other options.
"The best alternative in such cases is to borrow from those who do not necessarily need to be repaid – namely, friends and family, personal funds contributed by the business owner or professional investors who can take over the business if it does not perform to expectations," observes Ms. Johnson.
Other options are small business lending programs and microloans offered through local community organizations. For example, the Women's Business Development Center and ACCION can provide small businesses with advice, support and connections and, in some instances, alternative financing.

Rated 5 out of 5�by livetoattract love to look
I was looking for a nice long-sleeved dress all winter and finally found this on bebe. I am 5' 3'' and weigh between 110-115 pounds and wear a size 0 jean size. So I first got XXS thinking that US sizes are usu big. Well...not in this case. The dress fit but was too tight. I doesn't have a zipper which is not a bad thing if I got the right size. I returned it and got size S.
It is beautiful. The dress is form fitting but in a good way. I think with black tights or opaque black tights and nice black heels, the look is attractive. The material is thick enough for the season.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Ky07 Love the look but...
Busty women beware! I loved the look of the dress online and ordered it immediately. I am either a S or XS in Bebe clothes, depending on the style, and decided to go with a S (I'm 5'4", 120lbs). The dress was a little cumbersome to put on in the first place as there is no zipper. The dress is very form fitting and fit well in the hips and waist but the chest area was so tight it felt like I was wearing a sports bra. I'm not very busty either (34B) and the dress squished my boobs down making my chest look flat! I'm sending it back. Too bad.. I loved the look of this.

Sales of new US homes slip 4.6 percent in February
In this Feb. 25 photo, a new townhouse is under construction at the Crossings adult community in Colonie, N.Y. Sales of new homes fell in February after climbing to the highest level in more than four years in January. Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Sales of new homes fell in February after climbing to the highest level in more than four years in January.
The Commerce Department says that sales of new homes dropped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 411,000 in February. That is a decline of 4.6 percent from the January level of 431,000, which had been the strongest sales pace since September 2008.
The decline in February still left sales 12.3 percent higher than a year ago. While sales remain below the 700,000 level considered healthy, the housing recovery is gaining strength and is starting to look sustainable. Steady job creation and near record-low mortgage rates are spurring sales.
The median price of a new home sold in February was $246,800, up 2.9 percent from a year ago.

V2Cigs electronic cigarettes have gained popularity and are considered one of the best e cigarette brands on the market due to their advanced functionality with many features that optimise their performance. The devices come equipped with starter kits, batteries, cartridges, atomiser, and also come with different flavours of cartridge solution. You have a choice of different flavours for the solution to inhale, and you also have varying amounts of nicotine concentration to choose from.
An electronic cigarette allows the user to inhale the solution that has been heated in the cartridge by the atomiser, and the atomiser is activated by the battery. The cigarette, unlike the conventional tobacco cigarette, is odourless and less harmful due to fewer chemicals included. With V2Cigs, you get to choose a completely 0% of nicotine solution that could enable you to leave smoking nicotine at all as an addictive chemical.
Electronic cigarette batteries
The battery activates the device so that the solution of any flavour in the cartridge can be heated. As it is heated, the user can inhale the vapour solution to give that smoking sensation. V2Cigs batteries are in the device to power the atomiser so that it can heat the cartridge. The batteries are available as automatic and manual. By puffing on the automatic batteries, they will be activated whereas the manual batteries have got a button to activate them.
V2Cigs come with starter kits
A good review of V2Cigs Pro Series three Starter Kit would have to talk about how the starter kits come with everything you need to get you started with smokefree inhalation. The first choice you have is to choose between a manual and automatic battery to heat up the device. There are also flavours to choose for the cartridge. These flavours are 10 in number, so the choice is yours to start now having a smokeless cigarette. The batteries of V2Cigs are rechargeable with the USB charger with the wall adapter included in the starter kit. Everything that you need to get started with the device is included in the starter kit.

I was eagerly waiting for this game, along with the other SW releases from FFG, but my disappointment only grew as news came out.
I first took a glimpse at the rules and found out that they were rather easy and that the game would be fast paced. I hadn't set my hands on Wings of War and thought this could be a great addition to my game shelf, being also a major SW fan.
However, when I realized that there were only 3 miniatures in each core set, hand-painted or not, my high spirits fell to the bottom. Three miniatures, even with different pilots meant few different scenarios. If you take that and then see the price of the core set, 40$ the result is total catastrophe. Too much money for what is inside, and spending that money would only result in spending more money in expansions.

Happy New Year Fam! I'm so glad I'm alive to see this new year – the beginning of another cycle. For me, 2012 brought so many blessings, victories, and very few disappointments. Now, I realize that this might not have been the case for everyone. Most people had more disappointments than they did blessings. But whatever the case may be for you, I'm glad you made it into 2013! We have another 12 months to set the things in our lives that are within the spheres of our control straight! We have 12 months to dream big, and stretch ourselves to the best of our abilities!
However, in order for us to accomplish this this year – for us to have a more fruitful and productive 2013 ever – we have to first accept the fact that NOTHING magical happened when 12 am struck this morning! So even though we've been given another opportunity this year to set things straight, that will only happen when we take personal responsibility to make positive changes this year. This is why its important for us to reflect and honestly review our performance in 2012 if we haven't already done so. By so doing, you'll be able to analyse your true performance and properly determine the areas in which you need to make changes and perhaps, how to make them.
But whatever the case may be, just blindly starting off 2013 wishing that things will turn out better than they did in 2012 is self-deceit. Also, blindly making new year's resolutions just because you feel obligated by custom and tradition to do so at the beginning of every new year will also turn out to be unfruitful – unless you ensure that those resolutions are actions that will yield the changes you have determined is detrimental to make your performance in 2013 better than that of 2012.
Fam, let's all hit the ground this year running! Let's set goals that will inspire us to give our best this year to everything we set our hands to do. But most importantly, let's commit our year into God's hands and work with Him, expecting that He'll help us with the things that are outside our range of direct control.
We, your fam at Seeds In Words, wish you a fruitful, favorable, and fun filled year! May you receive all that you desire and work for this year! And may your dreams and all that you hope for come true!! Happy New Year!!

2008 Forester
I am helping a friend get a new car & Foresters are on her short list (though I am trying to convince her she does not need AWD) in Western WA.
I see that there are great rebates on the 2007 & 2008 Forester X. It looks like there have been few if any changes between the 07 & 08 models. Is there any compelling reason to get an 08 vs. a new 07 if the prices are similar?

kavoom Posts: 181None whatsoever. Go 07 if you can get a cheaper price and you should be able to.
And Suby's are great even on water not just snow. AWD is worth its weight in gold in my opinion. My girlfriend came from a Jimmy and loves the feeling of gripping the road. She no longer has to "aim" her vehicle and can now drive. Safety was a big selling point with her and Suby's are about as safe as you can get short of 5 tons of steel around you... -

aatherton Posts: 617"... MSN's Dan Jedlicka indicates the 2008 Forester has a "stiff clutch"... "
I just test drove a manual X and XT. The XT clutch was a quite bit stiffer than the very easy clutch in my Scion xB, and seemed stiffer than the clutch in X. On the short drive I was not able to do many smooth shifts with the XT, and it was easier to do in the X. Maybe the turbos have a stronger clutch than the NA engines. -
aatherton Posts: 617I did the subtraction and came up a HP difference too. But it was more like 51 HP ;-) I felt and assumed a stronger clutch, but sales literature does not say that the XT has different clutch. The effect for me, in driving both an X and XT 5-speed, was that that the XT was harder to shift smoothly.
hypnosis44 Posts: 483
hypnosis44 Posts: 483The literature states that premium fuel is "recommended" for the Turbo models. "Recommended", but not required: does anyone have any experience, or reference sites regarding the use of regular fuel in the Turbos? I believe the engine management system compensates for variations in the octane, and of course there will be some loss of peak power under full load, but what about longevity and warranty issues? Anyone?
hypnosis44 Posts: 483
p0926 Posts: 4,423So theoretically, if the computer is doing it's job retarding the timing, no damage should be caused. But then you've removed any margin for error.
I too toyed with not using premium for a while but really how much would you save and is it worth risking damaging something? The extra 20 cents that premium costs is less than 10% of your fuel cost and becomes less and less as the price of gas goes up. And why have a turbo if you're not going to use its performance capability?
So bottom line, like Mike says, you gotta pay to play. If $3 or so extra a tank is too painful, you should probably be driving something that doesn't require premium

Keep watching, the best part hasn't even happened yet
Baseball August 21st, 2009
It seems that the bandwagon is emptying at an alarming rate. I try to keep positive because, well for one it's not very smart for me to say "stop caring about baseball, the Brewers season is over! Go find another blog!" and two, it's still baseball. Crazy things happen all the time. You just never know. Of course with every loss to the Pirates, you kind of DO know.
A recent poll on Brew Crew Ball has 1% of Brewers fans saying they won't give up on the season until it's over with 83% having already given up. 83%!!!! I'm not exactly sure what this means though. If you are among the 83%, do you still care about what happens? Or have you mentally checked out? Have you moved on to football season? If this is the case, I ask you to reconsider. This Brewers season is not the one we wanted, but it's still the Brewers season. It's kind of like a bad porno. Sure, the girls aren't as hot as you expected and they're all tatt'ed up like Josh Hamilton. Sure, there is too much closeup. Sure, the plot sucks and the music is terrible. The fact of the matter is it's still a porno, it's still people having sex. Despite it's problems there are a number of good reasons to continue watching the Brewers. Just like you keep watching the porno for the T&A, you should keep watching the Brewers for these reasons (and just like in porno not one of them is a "sausage race".) Read the rest of this entry »

So I got the update this morning and now the channel bar is messed up on the right side. Its like faded out. What's even weirder is that I have the same issue on my hr20 now. That got no update.
It appears this happened to all model receivers. There is a thread about this particular problem. It happened to all 3 of my receivers yesterday.
A Menu Reset fixed them all.

It's pretty bad on my unit. Noticeably bad.

That's odd, I can see and play recordings on my HR22. Not sure why an HR24 would be any different. I am having one issue though. If I try to play a recording from my HR34 on my HR22. And the recording was made prior to the last update, I can't use "Select" to advance through the screens to make it play. The second screen displays, but looks odd and doesn't have the menu to select play. So instead, I have to hit play on the "List" screen and then it plays fine.I am still having continued Whole Home issues. I can't see or play recordings from other devices ( HR 24's). This has existed through the last 3 or 4 firmware updates. Resets, etc no avail ...

1) The Guide is back to breaking up. It settles down when you change the page.
2) Agreed on the FF issues, especially when playing a program recorded on another DVR in the system. Sometimes it backs up, sometimes it stops on the last image shown, and sometimes it even jumps forward a few minutes.
3) VOD takes forever to load (I only tired channel 1000). Once loaded, after you select a category and go into Search, there still is no alphabet on the left hand side of the screen. You can only search by direct access of the letters through the keypad on the remote, which is the way I normally do it, anyway, but the other can be useful, too.

Great value and last well
05/02/2014 -
A Must buy, all good round tyres. Good in rain and superb on motorways. this is in a BMW E39 M5
25/01/2014 -
I have used Bridgestone and toyo before on the same car but these have way better grip in all weather. I used these during snow and although it wasn't great it was a massive improvement considering they are not winter tyres. These lasted around 2000 miles more than the other brands even thought I did more spirited driving in my ep3 type r. Plus they are pretty cheap so it's an all round winner. The only down side is that when they get close to the minimum tread they are slightly noisier than other brands I have mentioned. I will only put this brand on my car from now on!
07/01/2014 -
Straight away the car felt much better, and the road was very wet, so really pleased. Sounded quieter too than the Pirelli's I have just swapped from. Very good tyre so far.
29/11/2013 -
I purchased these tyres for my Mini when I decided to move away from Runflats. I'm really pleased that I did, the ride is softer (ok not perfectly soft as the Cooper S has sports suspension) and smoother and the ride is generally more comfortable. I liked the thought of having the Runflats if I ever got a puncture, but I've purchased a can of Tyreweld and that looks very easy to use, so no issues there really. To me that was the only real benefit of the Runflats. These are a great tyre, at a decent price, good grip, good acceleration. I'd definately buy them again!

According to Detective Matt Jenkins of the Cleveland Police Department, Randall Duane Kiser faces warrants for failure to render aid and failure to report an accident.
CPD officer Josh Nix began an investigation after Kevin Mendel, pastor of Grace Community Church, was hit by a vehicle while riding his motorcycle south on Mouse Creek Road.
According to Mendel, he was near the intersection of Robin Hood Drive when a red Mazda reportedly crossed the center line and struck his motorcycle.
Mendel was thrown from the bike and onto the roadway.
Mendel said Dr. Jeff Miller was on his way to SkyRidge Medical Center when he came upon the scene. Miller aided Mendel at the scene until Bradley County Emergency Medical Service paramedics transported him to the hospital.
Nix and officer Steve West were able to collect information leading to the identity of the suspect.
Anyone with information regarding Kiser's whereabouts is asked to contact Jenkins at 303-3134.
n Bradley County officials are investigating a theft which could have occurred during the past few months.
Deputy Casey Kerr filed a report for Daniel Blankenship of a Blue Springs Road address.
According to his report, Blankenship said someone came onto his property and entered a work van, taking items from the vehicle as well as from his yard.
Blankenship said wheels, tires and some hand tools had been taken from the yard during the past few months.
Missing from the van were a handgun and a Stanley flooring nailer.
Kerr noted no forced entry was evident regarding the van.
The loss was estimated at $1,975.
Investigation is continuing.
n An Ooltewah resident was charged with traffic and drug violations after deputies performed a traffic stop because of alleged excessive noise coming from his vehicle.
According to a report filed by Cpl. Daniel Marlow, Bobby L. Goines, 24, was charged with violations of the noise and muffler laws, possession of Schedule VI for resale and possession of felony drug paraphernalia. His car was seized after the charges were placed.
Marlow was patrolling on APD 40 when he heard "excessive and unusual noise" coming from the car's stereo speaker as well as the exhaust system.
Marlow said after he approached the man, who was identified as Goines, he saw a small amount of suspected marijuana in Goines' palm. Goines was detained at that point and read his rights.
After searching Goines' car, Marlow located a digital scale, 10 individually wrapped bags of suspected marijuana, cash and other alleged evidentiary items.
Goines was taken to the Bradley County Jail where he was booked on the charges.
n Deputy Matt Landolt of the Bradley County Sheriff's Office filed a report on a possible attempted burglary.
According to his report, Landolt spoke with Jody Roe, who said he returned home to find pry marks on a door.
The incident was believed to have occurred between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Friday.
Damage to the door was estimated at $50.
n Tennessee Highway Patrol will be conducting sobriety checkpoints in Polk County this week during the Thanksgiving holiday and through next week.
The checkpoints will be set up in random locations in the county.
According to THP officials, checkpoints are an effective means of recognizing the dangers presented to the driving public, by motorists who would violate the DUI laws of the state.
All scheduled checkpoints are contingent upon weather conditions and manpower availability.
Lt. John Harmon of THP said troopers will be performing saturation and visibility patrols this weekend as well as aiding motorists in need.
Bradley County deputies and traffic specialists will also be watching for drivers who would present dangers to their passengers or others, according to officials at BCSO.

text: I'm fortunate that once a month (April to December) on my way home from the office I can swing by the NHRA Museum on the first Wednesday of the month and check out their Twilight Cruise. Although I'll see many of the same cars there month after month, it never ceases to amaze me when I find several new really cool ones that I don't see any where else. Here are just a few that I've snapped at a couple cruises this summer.

The HumaNav vehicle tracking system developed by UNOSAT in partnership with NOVACOM Services of France is increasing popular with humanitarian agencies and NGOs. The reasons of its success are its versatility and problem-solving nature together with the fact that the solution is compatible with most hardware sold on the positioning and navigation market and it is able to communicate via both GSM (the cellular phone system) and satellite telecommunication system.
Several UN agencies and international NGOs have adopted HumaNav since its launch in 2011. When acquiring the system each agency is provided with in-field installation and user training and becomes part of the HumaNav Community.
In early October 2012, UNITAR/UNOSAT delivered the first large scale in-field training dedicated to UNHCR professional drivers and the Agency's security managers. The Refugee Agency had already tried the system in the field with success in 2010. The training helps agencies make the most of the system and is useful to make drivers aware of the functionalities of the solution. Installation teams are also dispatched to the field to help agencies and NGOs install the kits aboard their vehicles.
Since 2011, 420 HumaNav kits have been delivered to UNHCR Kenya, to address security and safety issues that are acute in some of the areas in which HCR is operating. The kits allow for world-wide coverage using GPS satellite signals and a feature dual communication mode that uses the GSM network whenever it is available and switches automatically to satellite communications when crossing remote areas with no cellular coverage.
The system includes a driver identification system, two-way direct messaging between driver and base, pre-selected messages from driver to base and an emergency alert function that sends pre-set messages to preselected recipients in case of need.
In the case of Kenya HumaNav kits have been mounted also on some Kenyan police vehicles to facilitate their work in maintaining security in the Dadaab refugee camps and to protect humanitarian workers in the area. In OCtober UNITAR/UNOSAT and NOVACOM provided training courses in Nairobi and Dadaab regional offices. A total of 250 staff were trained in the use of the HumaNav system, including 150 professional drivers.
Several UNHCR implementing partners, such as Care, Save the Children, the Danish Refugee Council, the International Rescue Committee, World Vision, Oxfam and Lutheran World Federation also use this system. "We are planning to equip the whole humanitarian fleet operating in Kenya under the umbrella of UNHCR with this system by November 2012", says Olivier Senegas of UNOSAT. Senegas, who has supervised the development of the solution and managed the contacts with the humanitarian agencies that are using the solution, continues: "agencies appreciate the security benefits of the system but also the potential of HumaNav to enable a true fleet management process able to save on kilometres, fuel and reduce the carbon footprint of in-field missions".
Wacth a short video on the main funcitonalities of HumaNav (in French).

We aim to craft guitars in an artful, thoughtful way—instruments that take your performance to new heights.
High-volume builders use production machinery to speed up their output, but speed isn't the issue for us—it's the quality of the instrument. We're proud of the level of our craftsmanship, and we invite you to see it for yourself by taking a close look at our instruments, part by part.
Spruce and cedar soundboards have been used for well over a millennium, and the modern bracing system has been around for at least 150 years. We use a traditional "X" bracing pattern on our steel-string models, differently voiced for each application.
Rather than make any radical departures, we make many small changes that add up to a significant difference in volume, balance and richness. Takamine® soundboards are braced and voiced by hand—by tapping each top, a skilled luthier knows just how to shape the braces for the best possible response.
Most guitar makers don't give frets enough credit—or attention. A good fret job can help a player reach new heights.
Examine the frets on a Takamine. What you see is the work of a laser-guided fret finishing system that levels and crowns each fret to within 0.0001" of dead-on. Fret a note, notice how the string contacts the center line of the fret perfectly, and hear the clarity when you play. A good fret job can be the difference between a nice guitar and a great guitar.
Takamine pioneered the use of uncommonly artistic and complex inlay work on guitars for working players. We've developed the art of design and the craft of precise inlay work far beyond the capabilities of most other guitar makers.
Look closely at Takamine rosettes and inlays. Such meticulous handiwork is a clearly visible sign of our commitment to excellence in every element of our guitars
Your Takamine is beautiful on the outside, but beauty is more than skin deep. Look inside and see for yourself—finely sanded braces and meticulously cut linings display a level of hand craftsmanship fast disappearing from modern guitars.
There's a century-old phrase from the arts and crafts movement: "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." That spirit lives on today at Takamine.
With their many distinctive curves, guitar bodies accommodate a wide range of frequencies. Different body shapes favor different frequencies, giving them a distinct tonal character. Dreadnoughts are typically louder, with stronger lows. Smaller bodies, such as our NEX, tend to be more balanced. A thinner body may project less but sound more pleasing. Play as many sizes as you can with comfort and sound in mind. Your choice is very personal—what sounds and feels best to you.
A century ago, the wide classical shape with a flat fingerboard was the only shape considered "proper," but we've become more open-minded since then. Some players feel you can never be too thin, while others feel it's far better to be fat. It's that personal taste thing again.
Takamine necks have an asymmetrical "C" shape—an ergonomic contour slightly thinner on the bass side of the neck so that it fits the natural shape of your hand. Overall, it's thin from front to back and medium in width, with a gentle fingerboard arch. Perfectly comfortable.
The neck profile of a Takamine® guitar is offset—like an asymmetrical letter "C"—slightly thinner on the bass side, so that it fits the natural shape of your hand. This improves playability by reducing the distance the wrist must move when the thumb is moved toward the first string, resulting in a comfortable feel and an exceptional playing experience.
No more fumbling with time-consuming individual bridge pins. Many Takamine® Pro Series guitars feature remarkably convenient "pinless" bridges, which do away with the small parts entirely and make string changes a breeze.
Takamine's distinctive split-saddle bridge provides accurate acoustic intonation through a specially compensated design that is quite literally split, giving the two unwound strings—the B and the high E—their own well-deserved "break" and enhancing overall intonation.
The smallest of Takamine's body styles, the New Yorker, feels great and produces focused tone with great balance and articulation.

This wood is full and responsive. Though not having the depth of Rosewood, it offers a much broader tonal response than mahogany.
Used for: Back/sides
This is frequently used as an acoustic guitar soundboard - especially on nylong string guitars - and has a warm, soft, open sound with beautiful overtones.
Used for: Soundboard
Cocobolo is a beautifully figured wood. It's visual spectrum ranges from the most brilliant reds, all the way through to the purest black.
It is dense and hard, giving notes an immediate attack with long sustain. The sound is deep, with beautiful bell like overtones.
Used for: Back/sides
Ash can be quite pale in colour when it is untreated, and often has a highly figured pattern which is aesthetically very pleasing.
Tonally it has a 'snappy' high frequency range with strong mids and a crisp bottom end response.
Used for: Soundboards, Back/sides
Koa is a very dense wood with solid, pronounced mid tones with beautiful lows and well defined, but not sparkling, highs. This wood repsonds very well to firmer playing.
Used for: Soundboards, Back/sides
Physically lighter than rosewood, maple or koa, mahogany is no less popular as a tonewood. The response of mahogany is often described as 'quick' meaning that it is extremely dynamic, while the tone is very warm and rounded with an emphasis on the mid range. The top end is clear, but does not 'sparkle'.
Used for: Back/sides
Clear upper mid range and high frequencies along with a tight, focussed output and long sustain make this a very popular choice among some acoustic guitarists.
The Flame characteristic is found in some maple and refers to a beautiful pattern running through the wood perpendicular to the grain.
Used for: Back/sides
Often referred to as 'Eastern Mahogany', Nato is a species which offers similar looks and similar characteristics to regualr mahogany. It offers a cost effective way to build a guitar with great looks and great tonal output.
Used for: Back/sides
This wood is native to West Africa and has a beautiful appearance featuring colourful stripes ranging from golden browns through to greys and blacks.
Tonally, it features a deep, warm low and mid range similar to rosewood, but has a much punchier high end which is much more like the tones obtained from Maple.
Used for: Back/sides
Like standard maple, this variation is loud and tightly focussed with an emphasis on the upper mids and high end registers.
The term 'quilt' refers to the very distinctive patterning on the wood itself.
Used for: Back/sides
Offering full bass, defined but warm mids, and punchy highs, rosewood is very highly regarded as a tone wood for building acoustic guitars.
Visually, it is also beatiful. Rich colours varying from red through to black make rosewood a very popular choice.
Used for: Back/sides
The combination of these two woods appears on some Takamine models with 3-piece backs and gives a nod to the artistry involved in guitar making. The combination results in an absolutely beautiful instrument.
Used for: Back/sides
This dense tonewood has a look similar to mahogany, but with a very distinctive striped grain.
Being relatively dense, the sound of sapele is crisp, clear and bright while retaining a good level of warmth in the lower ends and lower mids
Used for: Back/sides
Spruce is the most commonly used wood for the soundboard or 'top' of the guitar. It's stiff, yet light characteristics give it a bright, clear tone.
Used for: Soundboards
Spruce is the most commonly used wood for the soundboard or 'top' of the guitar. It's stiff, yet light characteristics give it a bright, clear tone.
