The Happy Youngster is a douchebag who makes us all look bad
Fans May 17th, 2009
Surely, by now you have heard the story about the Brewers fan catching Chris Coghlan's first career home run ball and then holding it for "ransom". If you haven't here's a quick rundown of it.
Coghlan's home run was caught Wednesday night by a Milwaukee Brewers fan who refers to himself as "The Happy Youngster" and claims on his blog to have caught nearly 50 homers.
And while Coghlan said the fan was willing to give the ball back, the man's original asking price was a lot higher than the Marlins rookie outfielder anticipated.
"He wasn't the most polite or respectful guy about the whole process," Coghlan said Thursday. "He told me he goes around a lot and catches these balls and holds them for ransom — even though he doesn't say that he does, it seems that way."
Sounds like a real winner, right? I guess there is a part of me that can admire someone who wants to get game balls. If a ball is hit to my area, I go for it. At the same time, I don't wear a glove. Why? Because I am not 12 years old. I have never caught a ball in my life so maybe I SHOULD wear a glove so that I can position myself and be ready. Maybe I should quit tailgating and show up inside for batting practice. Maybe I should start wearing the opposing team's hat and jersey to the games so that they will see me as a fan of them and throw me balls. Hey, maybe I should stop going to games to watch baseball and have fun. Maybe I should just go to them strictly to get balls, then I could have thousands of balls and I could hang out with other people who don't even really like baseball! Then me and my new ballhawking friends could go to spring training and I could make a diving catch that I didn't really even need to dive for to add to my pathetic collection so that I could be on SportsCenter! Then I could start a blog and write about how much a frickin' loser I am! Then I could meet a nice girl and settle down, well settle down as in get laid for once in my life, train her to be as pathetic as I am and have a kid who I will pass my douchebaggery gene onto!
Or maybe I could continue how I am going and continue to be a real fan of the baseball team that I like. Go to games to watch them and not to make myself into some sort of pseudo-celebrity. I think Al said it best when he said "Again, this "fan" simply embarrasses all Brewers' fans, not to mention all police officers and, well, all human beings." It's a complete joke, yet this is the world we live in. People think they are entitled to things just because they bothered to show up. Good for you, you caught this guy's home run ball. You don't deserve anything for it. If I am your dentist do I keep your daughter's first tooth? When you ask someone to take a picture of you and your friends, do they ask you what will you give them for it? If you found someone's lost dog, would you ask them for two puppies and a kitten to give it back? Absolutely not. It's called basic human decency. The odds of being a professional baseball player are pretty slim, the odds of getting to play in the Majors are slimmer and to hit your first career home run is basically the culmination of a lifelong dream. He might never hit another home run, he could get beaned tomorrow and never play baseball again. You don't know, anything could happen. To give up this ball, that is worth basically nothing in the real world to anyone but him, should be an honor and a pleasure. Instead, it's a negotiation about what you think you DESERVE for being in the right place at the right time. F. U.
Here's what I think everyone should do when they see this guy. Report him. If you read his blog it's clear that he is often not in the seats he is supposed to be in. So when you see him, tell the usher to check his ticket. When he does his "ball trick" in the bullpen? Tell someone. You're not supposed to be doing it. I have absolutely no problem with getting people thrown out of a game if they are a douchebag and it's pretty clear to me that this is the biggest douchebag at Miller Park (even when the Cubs are in town.) So screw him, get him out of there. The last thing you want as a fan is someone making you look bad. This guy makes us look bad just by waking up in the morning.
To summarize - I don't like this guy. I don't like his kind. Ballhawks, to me, are the worst kind of fans. They are a joke, but do you know what pisses me off more than ballhawks? This girl.
Here I am writing a beloved blog for all the true fans touching on the hot topics of the day. Making people laugh, making people think, making people talk and most of all helping people enjoy the life of being a Brewers fan. Yet, the guy who goes to game and collects balls is the one selling t-shirts to attractive 20-something med students? Are you kidding me? THAT guy is making money off being a Brewers fan? The guy who wears different team apparel to every game? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?
You know what? That's okay. Two can play this game. Introducing the first Miller Park Drunk t-shirt.

Oral History Program Regina Urban Turner Interviewed by Marci Farr 11 September 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Regina Urban Turner Interviewed by Marci Farr 11 September 2008 Copyright © 2010 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted 11 September, 2008 and includes her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The Interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Regina Urban Turner at the Comfort Suites Inn in Ogden, Utah. It is September 11, 2008. We are interviewing her for the Dee School of Nursing history project. If you would like to go ahead and read what your thoughts are that would be great. RT: "In January 1944, upon receiving my acceptance to the United States Cadet Nursing Corps I rode the Greyhound bus from Kimberly, Idaho and arrived at the Thomas D. Dee nursing home at 9:45 p.m. The housemother rushed me to my room, introduced me to my roommate, and said, "It's time for lights out." The next three years would be filled with unbelievable experiences. After several months of theory, we were placed on hospital duty. I went to the medical floor where there was an epidemic of viral pneumonia. The only available treatment was aspirin, mustard plasters and oxygen tents. We were so excited when sulfa was introduced to the hospital. I remember forgetting to give the soda pill with the sulfa and had to go back later and give one to each patient. Then came penicillin, the miracle drug. At this time we used glass syringes and had to sterilize them by boiling. We sterilized needles by boiling in a teaspoon of water over a Bunson Burner!" "We wore starched white, short sleeved uniforms that buttoned down the front, white cotton hose and white shoes. We wore white caps that had black diagonal ribbons, demoting the years in training. Our cadet uniforms for summer 2 were gray pin striped seersucker suits with red epaulets. Winter suits were lined grey wool with red epaulets and silver buttons. Our hats were grey with a red ribbon around the crown. We also wore a grey woolen overcoat in winter. MF: Yes. Tell us about the doctors. RT: We did not have many doctors practicing in Ogden from 1944 to 1947, because of the military demand during WWII. We made "do" with the help of a few residents and interns. Some of the doctors I remember were: "Doctor Dumke saved my husband's leg from a gunshot wound when they wanted to amputate. Doctor Lindsey Curtis delivered four of our five children. Doctor Way, an excellent pediatrician, helped keep our young ones healthy. Doctor Noel Tanner, because tonsillectomies were not being done at that time, and I did the operation on one of our boys in his office. Doctor Dean Tanner did many surgeries on my husband's leg, which he still walks good on. Our thanks to Doctor and Mrs. Stratford for their many hours of participation in the Weber County Sheriffs Junior horseback riding posse, which our oldest son rode in. Doctor "Ole" Olson, cardiologist, who was one of our first professors at Weber College, we all loved him. Eric and Fred were fantastic orderlies. The two covered the whole hospital. I never worked with anybody better." All of our doctors and nurses were very dedicated and certainly were the foundation of what has become a "miracle age." MF: They were busy. RT: That is true. I could give you many, many stories about all this but this is just the basics. "Nurses I will never forget: 3 Lucille Taylor, who was superintendent of nurses, believed me when I didn't get in from a date at 10 p.m. because of a flat tire. The nursing home doors were locked at 10 p.m. "Mrs. Miner, with her "Boston" cup cap and immaculately starched uniform. Very strict, but excellent teacher. Marie Manning, second floor medical taught us a lot about cleaning and treatments. We cleaned lots of cupboards." "Dorothy Stitzer was my favorite IV and Meds nurse on third floor surgical. Sarah Shaw was a great OB nurse." "Louise Scoville for her tender care with babies. Jean Frew, my big sister, who watched me swallow a raw egg during initiation, but was there to help me "over the bumps." And who could forget "Miss Pitty Pat," our conscientious housemother! She "campused" me because I was whistling in the hall one day, but when told I was being baptized the next day, she was my "bosom friend!" "After graduation I worked about eighteen years in all phases of nursing until our children began high school. My favorite services are still E.R. and surgery, which I was scared to death of in training, but thanks to Miss Funk and Miss Robbins, that fear was overcome. I remember doing the first aortic transplant at the Dee with Doctor Dean Tanner. Also, the terrible accident brought up from the railroad involving a man who had lost his entire lower torso by a train. My three years in training was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. The people I met, and the friends that I made are truly a blessing in my 4 life that I will never forget. Would I do it over again? Yes. But I am grateful that I had the opportunity back then. It is astounding how far medicine has come. MF: You grew up in Idaho, that is where you are from? RT: Yes. Southern Idaho, Kimberly is a suburb of Twin Falls now. Back then there were about eight hundred people in the little town. MF: So why did you decide to become a nurse? RT: When I graduated from high school I went to Spokane, Washington to Henager Business College. I was very good in shorthand and typing but terrible in bookkeeping. We were losing World War II. I was young and discouraged a bit, and ready to do something else. I had been a campfire girl all through my school years. I was accepted as a counselor at Sweyolaken, a large campfire girl camp on Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho when my father needed help in the post office in Kimberly. I returned home. While I was there, one of my friends, Louise Barr who was in nurses training at the Dee Hospital gave me some information on the cadet nursing program. I applied and was accepted at the Dee Hospital. MF: So tell me something about your days off in training. RT: We enjoyed "tanning" on the roof and occasionally a date. We were kept way busy "on duty" and enjoyed whatever time we had off relaxing. We spent a lot of time studying. MF: Everything just to make sure it was ship-shape. There was nothing out of order. RT: We had one RN charge nurse and one RN for medical and treatment nurse a floor of at least thirty to thirty-two patients and these were very ill patients. 5 And very little to work with. It was not uncommon that we didn't have enough linen. I remember going to work early just so I could get to the linen room in time to get enough linen that I could take care of my patients. MF: A lot the nurses have said, also, that by the time they were seniors they were a charge nurse, they were in charge of the floor. RT: Yes. MF: There is no way they would allow that now. RT: I don't imagine. MF: I think that helped your training, don't you think? RT: Yes. We had three major rooms and I think three minor rooms of surgery and operated from seven o'clock in the morning, they would start operating at eight, until noon or whenever they finished. All four of us, Lois Heap said that she wanted to go back to surgery but the rest of us were so afraid of it. In fact, when I was there as a freshman I would do anything to keep from scrubbing. I was so afraid. I would wash rubber gloves and sterilize and boil instruments and wash instruments. That is how afraid I was of surgery and to be put back when I was a senior just ruined all my plans. We wouldn't give up because I had too much time in it so we went back to surgery and we did the RN work. We charged, we were responsible for the surgeries. We did the charging, they called it. The students did the scrubbing. But we did the charging and that was…we finished our last six months doing that and I learned so much. I got over being afraid of it real fast. MF: That is good. 6 RT: In fact, we had to do all three shifts. Miss Funk and Miss Robins worked in the day time but we had to take call at night and be responsible for all of it. When we went up they said, "Do not call us, you will just have to handle it yourselves because we can't work all day and get up at night too." So one afternoon shift, I was working by myself, and a man came in and he had been whittling with a knife and had sliced his earlobe off. Not clear off, it was just hanging. So I called the resident which was what you had to do and told him what had happened. He said, "I cannot come." He was covering the whole hospital. He said, "I just cannot come." I said, "Well what do I do?" Because legally we probably… MF: Weren't authorized to do it. So where did your capping and pinning ceremony…did you have that in the nurse's home? RT: It was down fairly close to the college but not in the college. It was a building that they had used before. I think it was on…wasn't the old Dee on 24th or 25th? MF: 24th. RT: Then it was an old, pretty large house I think. And it was on 25th street closer to town. MF: Did you walk down there? RT: Well, we had graduated, really. We were through training in January so I had gone home and so in June…I had come back though and gotten married and we were married in February and the graduation was in June so we were living in Ogden at the time. So we were here already. MF: Did you know any members of the Dee family while you were at the hospital? 7 RT: No. I didn't. In fact, yesterday when we went to the luncheon we had a relative that had just had surgery so we walked through the halls of your new hospital. And that is the first time I have seen a picture of anyone in the Dee family. MF: Oh yes isn't that wonderful. RT: Beautiful. MF: Yes it is a good thing. RT: Really neat. MF: I know up on the fourth floor where the nursery is and they have a little shadow box… you get off the elevator and right there it has all the items for the nurse's home. They have instruments and a little book and they have pictures and the little bottles of medicine that still have the old labels and books and stuff from the old Dee Hospital. RT: I would love to see that. I might go see that today before I go home. MF: And then on the fifth floor you get off the elevator and it has a picture of Annie Dee because Annie is the one that started the hospital. RT: Yes. MF: It is her and her husband Thomas in 1905 and that is the year he died. It is a picture of her and him in this sleigh. And she has this little cape on and they have the cape sitting on one of these little shelves. RT: Is that right? MF: Yes. RT: And you have done that? MF: It was the foundation did that when they set up the items for the hospital. 8 RT: How neat. MF: So it was kind of fun. So yes, you'll have to go on every floor and get off and see what they have in their little boxes just to see. RT: I think I will do that. MF: Yes. RT: I love that because all those old instruments. MF: They have it. They do they have everything. It was just so fun. I got off there and I thought oh wow. I don't know if they have a uniform or if they have a cap, they have something there so you'll have to check that out. MF: So when did you retire? You said you worked for eighteen years after, right? RT: Maybe I worked a little bit longer. I retired about '65 or somewhere around there. MF: Do you think nursing has changed over the years, you know, as far as technology and medicines? RT: Definitely. When we went into our relatives room yesterday, I could not believe, he had had a hip replacement and they had all these tubes and everything but he was sitting up in a chair, he had been up walking. And I mean everything was piped into the room. I can't believe it. Two months ago I had a heart oblation where they take scopes up into your heart for arrhythmia, they zap the electrical system that had shorted out, the scar tissue forms a rerouting up the system and I am well. And it just put at least twenty years on my life. MF: That is so amazing. RT: I can't believe it because we had these old oxygen tanks like they use for welding. And like I said mustard plasters and we had really nothing to work with. 9 Most of our care was nursing care. We gave…everybody in the hospital got their face washed in the morning for breakfast, face and hands. They got a bed bath and a back rub and a lot of attention, you know, a lot of help and that was our part. MF: And that is your legacy. RT: Very little medicine that would work. MF: Well we appreciate you letting us come visit you before you left to go back to Colorado. We appreciate that. RT: Well we are going back tomorrow. We are going to take a day. MF: That will be nice. You won't have to be rushed. RT: Yes I think I'll go back to the hospital. I have to see those instruments. MF: Yes it is just where we walked in to go to the luncheon, you turned left, if you just keep walking straight at the visitors, elevators just right there. Then they also have the foundation room. I don't know if you have been in that. RT: No. MF: You walk in the hospital and you head back down, the opposite way of the lunch room and head back down the opposite way they have the old doors from the hospital and they have stuck them in this room and they have items from the hospital. So you'll have to go check that out too. RT: Oh my goodness. MF: I stumbled on that room. RT: Do you have a picture of the old hospital? 10 MF: We do have a picture of that. We have that on a CD. The Dee family had some pictures we were able to scan those. RT: In the pictures that you had of that old hospital, did it have awnings out from the windows in the front. MF: I think on the side one it did. I am trying to think. I don't remember, I haven't looked at it for a few days. RT: The reason I ask is because I ran across a picture and I really do think it was one of the old Dee hospitals but I couldn't swear about it. I don't even remember where I found it. Years ago when one of the alumni books was made, you know, they needed that picture so I gave it to them. But I have always had a feeling maybe I didn't give them the right picture. I would really, really like to verify that is it. MF: I have it at home on my computer so I will check that out see what I have got. RT: The one that I have looks just like the old Dee but it has some awnings on the front and the light posts up, you know? MF: Yes. I'll have to check that out. RT: Do you have the nursing home? Yesterday somebody was asking me about the old nursing home and, you know, these things you just take for granted when they are happening. MF: Exactly. RT: And of course, one reason we don't have pictures is because nobody had cameras. MF: That is true. 11 RT: I mean us kids that went through the training, we argue about whether it was five or fifteen dollars that we got the first year we were in. The second year we got, I think, twenty. And then the third, thirty, and we were really rich with thirty dollars. You know, nobody had money to like on our days off we either had to walk clear down town or ride the bus and the bus was probably ten cents but we just didn't have ten cents for the bus. MF: That is true. RT: So we did the things that needed to be done. I think a lot of our satisfaction came from experiences with the patients. MF: Probably, because you had the personal time you were able to spend with them. RT: You did. MF: Now, it is like they come and tend the machine and that is it. They don't worry about the patient in the bed as much as you did because you made a point to make them comfortable. RT: That is what we had to work with. MF: That is true. And plus, they were in the hospital a lot longer than they are now. Which makes a difference. RT: Oh definitely. I was in, I think, fourteen days when I had my first baby. But this Doctor Oley that I mentioned, he was…Doctor Oley Olsen was his name. He was such a wonderful person. When we were first started our classes at Weber State we had to walk down to the college and go to classes. There was a man in the hospital that was dying from cancer. And it was a terribly severe case. We had to do the dressings on him. It was just so bad it broke us all in. 12 MF: Oh I bet. RT: You know, very fast. MF: I bet. RT: Doctor Oley was giving us our class and we asked him, you could call him Doctor Oley, he was that sweet, and we said, "Why can't you overdose or something and put him out of his misery? You don't even treat animals that way." And he says, I will never forget this, he said, "You girls, I am with you." He said, "I think it should be done." And he said, "If it is your desire I will write the order for you." And he said, "I will do that for you." But he said, "You are the ones that have to do it." That was the answer, you know. I will never forget that. Can you imagine? MF: That would be so hard. RT: That was it, we had nothing to work with. MF: That is true. RT: We just had to swab it out. MF: Oh that would be hard. RT: It was a terrible thing. I was eighteen, I think I turned nineteen in February when we came in in January. But at eighteen you don't know very much really. We were given much responsibility and had to make important decisions. But I think that the most important thing that I learned in nurses training was compassion and the desire to do the best that you could with the facilities that you had. At age 85, I still have many memories of our "training period," including 13 the many people who so responsibly helped us enter the nursing profession. God Bless Nurses. MF: You have never experienced anything like that, to walk in there, that is a whole other part of the world that you have never seen. That would be hard. Well we appreciate you letting us have a few minutes of your time.

KPN Corporate Market
Acquia Network and Professional Services help KPN assure site performance and security
With the emergence of various cloud services, KPN identified the opportunity to add customer value, by acting as a cloud aggregator between the cloud service and the enterprise customers. This new service, known as Grip, makes the cloud organized and manageable for customers.
The Grip platform combines all cloud services and ensures provisioning, single sign on, business app store and provides corporate customers with a central starting point for all cloud services, as well as a single bill and support desk.
"Acquia's expertise and commitment provided KPN with absolute confidence in optimal quality"
– Michiel van Dijk, Principal Technical Consultant Grip, KPN
KPN uses the Drupal content management system to provide Grip with a user-friendly front end. As the front end, from a user perspective, is the central point within the service, it is crucial that there is high-quality, 24x7 support. KPN required a partner who could provide this enterprise service level agreement for websites built on Drupal and selected Acquia, a specialist in enterprise support and services for organizations using Drupal.
The Acquia Network combines a comprehensive suite of knowledge base, training services, tools, and technical support to enable KPN to monitor and analyze the performance of the platform.
When the first version of the Grip front end was completed, KPN also called on Acquia's Professional Services team to conduct a security and performance audit on the Drupal code. Principal Technical Consultant for Grip, Michiel van Dijk from KPN commented: "Right from the start this cooperation was successful. Both professionally, as well as in the way
in which they work. Acquia's consultants are true experts with extensive knowledge and experience, and also very pleasant to work with."
The Grip platform assures control, user-friendliness, and insight which results in the effective use of the Cloud services.
The audits yielded detailed reports that allowed KPN and the platform developer to take direct action in improving the performance and security of the site. "Through the audits and the rapid implementation of the improvements recommended by Acquia, we have now realized a state-of- the-art platform. Not only in terms of user-friendliness, but also with regards to security, performance, and scalability," says Michiel van Dijk. The added value that Acquia offered at the initial audits appealed to KPN and so Acquia continues to monitor and test the quality and security of the Grip portal.
Jeroen Jacobs, manager competence center Grip at KPN Corporate Market: "As a monitoring tool, Acquia Network's Insight gives perfect visibility and control over the most important aspects of the portal. The Acquia Network has also proven its value for us. Acquia partner tools included in Acquia Network, such as BlazeMeter, New Relic and Yottaa, offer additional insight into the performance and the load testing, augmenting the Acquia-Drupal tools. However, the key benefit of working with Acquia is the unprecedented level of knowledge of the support team and the consultants' proactive approach. They reinforced our team at a high-level, worked effectively with us and significantly improved our effectiveness, which makes us able to focus on our customers and innovation. Thanks to this level of Drupal expertise, we are completely confident that the quality of the Cloud Broker Service aggregation platform Grip and the control of and the insight into the code and processes, remain optimal."

Matt Roenneburg of Chattanooga, the bridegroom's brother, was his best man. Groomsmen were Justin Patty, Nathan Anderson and Jeff Young, all of Cleveland.
Children in the wedding party were flower girls, Katelyn Gallaher and Sadie Gallaher, and ring bearer, Sean Gallaher, all of Cleveland.
The parents of the bride gave the reception at the Fillauer House Barn. Schales Green kept the bride's book.
The newlywed couple will reside in Sumter, S.C., where Mr. Roennburg is stationed at Shaw Air Force Base.

Any guys into talking/swapping some frot stuff?
newbie indeed...can't figure out how to share my pix.

Thanks for the help! I mean...merci beaucoups. That said, it asks for a url under the 'insert image' tab. I am looking to share and swap .jpg files from my hard drive.
See here:
May be partially what you want to do . . .
I think I am giving up on this site...too cumbersome. I don't have the paperclip. Next to the "A" for color settings I have undo and redo. No attchmnt option. Oh well...it was a nice idea. Thanks for the help anyway.
Dood.......if you can't figure out the attachment system HERE.......good luck cuz almost every other DECENT forum type site is based on the same software.......
bottom left window explains it...I MAY NOT post attatchments. Dunno why. I guess I quit. Have fun over here swapping pics.
You can attach/post links/pix after you have a minimum number of posts. Then you can do all of the functions available on the forum. I think it is 25 posts.
Thanks for the advice...guess it's a work in progress. Happy Saturday.
I hope this thread gets going as cock2cock fun is one activity my bf and I find most pleasurable. Rubbing against each other from head to toe, with cocks hard and eager, is so much fun!!
Good to hear man, yah would like to have a thread related to this. I'm pretty new to JUB and I guess I should have done a bit more before I started something. Here's hoping something can take off.

You may post replies
You may not post attachments
You may edit your posts
How do I overcome this?
seems we have to make 25 boring text only posts first, well not necessarily boring, I guess. I guess we can TALK about if for a while before we all share. Seems silly to me.
Hey, Guys!
Yeah! I think it's 25 posts before you can do attachments. (Which will appear in a separate panel under the "Post Reply" window.) Or, post links for that matter, too.

Ebola AdvisoryThe first case of the Ebola virus in the United States was diagnosed on Tuesday, September 30, by the Centers for Disease Control at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. That patient, sadly, has passed away. His immediate associates are being closely observed by health authorities who have placed restrictions on those individuals' mobility. None of them is reported to have shown symptoms thus far. Two nurses involved in caring for the first patient have tested positive for the virus and are being cared for. The CDC and the Texas Department of State Health Services are managing the case in cooperation with the Dallas County Health Department and Texas Health Presbyterian. The University is carefully monitoring the situation through these agencies. Ebola is very rare and is not spread through airborne transmission What is Ebola?Some countries in West Africa (Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone) are experiencing an outbreak (dramatic increase in number of cases) of Ebola. Although this virus is rare in the United States, three cases of Ebola have been diagnosed in Dallas County. It is important to know the facts and take precautions. Ebola is a virus transmitted through direct contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected, symptomatic person or through exposure to objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected blood or bodily fluids. What are the symptoms of Ebola?Symptoms include the sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, headache and sore throat, followed by vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and in some cases, bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, or rectum. How can I protect myself and others?
Frequently Asked Questions About EbolaQ: How is The University of Texas at Dallas monitoring the Ebola situation in Dallas? A: The University continues to monitor the situation closely through daily contact with national, state and local health agencies. The UT Dallas Office of Emergency Management also communicates internally to Student Affairs, the Student Health Center, Student Housing, the International Center, Office of Communications and Police Department. Q: Has anyone at UT Dallas had contact with any of the Ebola patients in Dallas? A: The original travel-related patient had no known direct ties to anyone at UT Dallas. Recently, two nurses who cared for the original patient have been confirmed to have the virus. They have been transferred to hospitals outside Texas. The Centers for Disease Control and other health officials continue to gather information on people who had contact with these new patients. Q: How is UT Dallas keeping the campus safe from Ebola? A: UT Dallas has developed an action plan to protect the campus community.
Q: What happens if someone on campus has been exposed to Ebola? A: If an individual on campus reports a possible exposure to Ebola, the University would notify local health authorities at the City of Richardson as well as the Dallas County and Collin County health departments. CDC guidelines state that those exposed to the Ebola virus should have their health monitored for 21 days following exposure. Q: What is the most updated information about Ebola? A: Ebola is a rare but deadly disease, according to the CDC. The disease is spread by contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is infected and showing symptoms of the disease. More information can be found on the CDC website. The CDC also has put together a page with advice for colleges, universities and students about Ebola in West Africa.

Off Shoulder Lace Dress
This dress fits great!!! I tried on 8 different dresses in the store today and this was the winner. It's sexy & romantic .... just perfect!
September 27, 2013
Not sure why the other reviewer has a totally different dress than everyone else! I 100% disagree with her! My dress is as pictured! The color is the exact same as shown and it fits amazing! I'm 5'6 a 34D bust and a size medium ( bought a medium)in bebe and this dress looks unbelievable on me, it's one of my favorites and I have a million bebe dresses!
September 26, 2013
Not what I expected!
I have different bebe clothes and this was my frst bad purchase. I got this dress online for a day wedding along with two other tops in the same order. The tops were great, but the dress...a big disappoitment! Forget the picture, the dress is a dark green. Yes, it is listed as emerald, but the picture shows a mint color instead, no matter the monitor/screen device...which was very misleading. The real color of the dress makes it looks cheaper and the contrast with the nude lining is not nice. The material is very lightweight, so don't expect this dress to do wonders with your curves. Actually, it is not very forgiving at all.
The lace is not strechy and the neckline fit was awkward. Overall overpriced for the quality. Had to return it.
September 8, 2013
I have lots and lots of Bebe dresses, let me tell you this one is positively my favorite. The online pic does not give justice. Im 120 pounds, 5'4' and the xs is exquisitely perfect. It has a nude lining underneath and Im going to wear sparkly gold stilletos and lots of gold jewelry to accent this. Love, love, love this dress!!

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a safe, quiet, indoor mosquito zapper? The reviews on Amazon ford various devices seem to be all over the place. Some say the work great, others say not at all. It's only May and we've got some giant mosquitos here in Brooklyn already, keeping us up at night. It looks like it's going to be a long summer... asked May 25 '11 at 18:11 dalton |
http://www.diyhappy.com/quick-and-dirty-mosquito-trap/ May not work on your mosquitos, but it's very cheap to test out. If your mosquitos are not tracking you down by CO2 exhalations, you can try a skeeterbag instead - looks very cheap to DIY. linkanswered May 26 '11 at 06:34 bugmenot Wow skeeter bag looks really promising actually.

Skeeterbag looks really good, that might work in our bedroom, thanks!
3 years, 7 months ago
Here in southwestern China every local housewares store sells "mosquito racquets" - it looks like a tennis racquet but has a wire mesh grid, a rechargeable battery, a flashlight bulb, and a button that makes a surprisingly loud zapping sound. Get the large surface area of the racquet close to a mosquito, press the button, and you'll hear a rhythmic zapping, and then a surprising sudden louder crack as your nemesis is fried to a crisp. It has the additional benefit of not smearing your purloined blood all over the wall like a rolled-up magazine would. It's certainly not a passive, no-maintenance trap, but it's quite effective and you get a rush of satisfaction as that little buzzer who's been menacing you while you is abruptly sent to its great reward. Plenty of varieties offered on Amazon for $5-10. linkanswered Jun 21 '11 at 07:38 joshwa |
For clarification, I was looking for something passive that would work in the bedroom while we slept. We ended up buying the Bite Shield, which is a small fan device that has small chemical cartridges that clip on the front. It's not well made, but it does seem to be helping. We may consider giving the skeeterbag a try. For outdoor use, it seems that the Thermacell is a great solution, we're definitely getting one of those for the backyard. linkanswered Jun 21 '11 at 08:01 dalton |
I place a piece of Mosquito Dunk in a little water (like a saucer for a flowerpot) and make sure there is always water in it. The "house" mosquitos can no longer produce more mosquitos if they lay eggs there. Our population has been reduced to almost zero. linkanswered Jul 27 '11 at 13:09 |
If you are still looking, a bed net works wonders! They are bulky though, but not a problem if you are not travelling with it! Whilst living in Ouagadougou a long time ago my spouse and I had a bed net for the mosquitoes, and a fan for the heat! The fan killed hundreds of mosquitoes every night, so that combination might suit your purposes. The "zapper tennis racquets" are really effective, but it is a pain getting up from time to time to try and kill the little critter buzzing around your ear in the dark! If you have a serious mosquito problem, start with a net! There are pyrethrum-based net dips that increase the effectiveness of mosquito nets. linkanswered Aug 04 '11 at 15:48 lduvall |

I had noticed that when I got a list of all my familys birthdays for the month of December my fathers birthday which is or was December 18, 1939. My father had passed a little over a year ago, but we still honor his Birthday as well as the day he passed. Is there any way that can me put back on our family website?
Thank you.
Debbie Messier.
It would be nice if you could remember your relative on the date of his death, or on his birthday or indeed both; but I suppose Ingrid has the solution and it is something you would not do for a lot of people, just the close and special ones. So it would not be a lot of trouble.
I am going to try to post it to the calander.
Hi, Once the book generated into PDF, why names appear in the chart/family trees were shorterned and not show fully instead as per record? How do i get it full?
When I create the familybook it is created in english instead of my language of choice (Swedish)
From other forum posts it looks like it is possible to get the report in your local language, how do I do that?
Dear Nicklas,
Thank you for writing on our Forum.
In Family Tree Builder, it is possible to choose a DISPLAY language and a DATA ENTRY language.
DISPLAY language corresponds to all the buttons and command names in the program. DISPLAY language changes Family Tree Builder's interface only and will not affect any information that you have manually entered in the tree.
DATA ENTRY language corresponds to the information you enter into the tree yourself. Names, places, notes, etc. are considered DATA.
Family Tree Builder allows you to enter data in Primary Data language, and Secondary Data language.
The problem you describe occurs when you enter data in two different languages into the Family Tree Builder program and then synchronize it to your online family site. Within Family Tree Builder you can see two data languages when you open a persons detail card. In some cases you might enter data in one language and leave the other language empty.
Now when you synchronize your tree to your online family site, the tree view can display only one language at once. This means that for all data that was entered in a second language, it will display UNKNOWN in the family tree and in SmartMatches.
In order to resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
1. Open Family Tree Builder on your PC and open your project.
2. Open the Tools window by going to Tools menu > Languages in the upper toolbar.
3. In the window that appears, make sure that the checkbox "Same as Display Language" is checked.
This will make sure that the display language is the same as the (first) data language.
4. Now please do a right click somewhere in that window. A small menu appears, click on the item in it "Manage Data Languages"
5. You will notice that you have different amounts of items in the listed languages. You have to make them equal.
6. Select the first language in the list and click on the button 'Copy'.
7. In the new window you select the 'Copy To' to the other language and click on the button 'Copy'.
8. When the copy is done, select the second language in the list and click again on the button 'Copy'.
9. In the next window you select the 'Copy To' to the other language and click on the button 'Copy'.
With above steps you make sure, that in both languages in your project you have all available data.
I hope that this will resolve your issue. Please inform me on your progress on following above steps and, of course, do not hesitate to contact me again, should you need any further assistance.
Best regards,
This happens when the "Last Name" field of their profile is left blank.
Under "Options -> Names -> Empty last name" I have made sure the option is blank.
How do I stop the word "Unknown" from appearing in the Book Reports?
This seems an unusual choice of yours...Is it that you know the name and prefer not to reveal it??
Or just that a nice chart looks ugly with the word 'unknown' appearing all the time?
I guess you will have to put SOMETHING of your choice in the space for 'last name', or the system will use the word 'unknown'. (I don't know anything about the procedure you mentioned: Under "Options -> Names -> Empty last name" I have made sure the option is blank.)
Try, say, a question mark ("?") ... Or two ("??")...
or, "name withheld"; or "Private";
I wonder if you 'type' a couple of spaces in the place for the surname you might fool the system???
In the past I was able to print Family Group Reports in FTB without saving as a PDF and they would fit properly on letter size paper. Now when I create and print a Family Group Report, it is enlarged and does not print properly unless I save it first as a PDF. I do not want to have to save them everytime...... I also had not changed any settings from the previous times I had printed them.
When you click on the print button on the Report section of Family Tree Builder, the pop-up window of your printer will appear. You can click on "Properties" or "Advanced settings..." (this can change from one brand of printer to another), and see check your settings on fitting the report to the paper size you want to print it.
If you have any further questions and wants to contact us personally, please, do so by sending us an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com and also send us a screenshot of your printer's settings, so we can see if there's something that might not be set correctly.
Have a great day!
Dear Mrs.Kavermann,
Thank you for your post here on the forum.
At this point in time, each child in the online tree can only be attached to one set of parents. This means that you can either have an adopted child attached to their biological parents, or to their adoptive parents.
With that in mind I can only suggest that you possibly create a seperate family tree for your Genetic family and label this family tree with a similar title.
Hoping this has proven useful to you.
Kind Regards,
MyHeritage Team.
I'm using the family tree builder and i have a specific question about generating diagrams. If i generate a diagram it is possible that the diagram should generate the same branch several times. For example: person A has parents B and C, if you go back in time for several generations, then B and C seem to have ancestors in common. So that means if you generate an ancestor chart of person A, one or more identical branches should be shown. No my problem is, the family tree builder does not deduplicate the identical branches, that means that the ancestors of person C are not shown because they are already in the diagram (as ancestors of person B). Is there a way to generate the diagram where all the branches are shown and identical branches are deduplicated? That makes the diagram more complete.
grtz, Bruno
Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your question.
The All in One chart shows all branches and identical branches that are duplicated.
If a person appears in more than one place in an All-In-One chart, a number will appear in his box in the chart.
This may happen, for example, if you have attached person both to natural parents and adopting parents (who are natural parent's relatives), or if you used 'attach' feature to show marriage relationship between cousins.
This is just so that you will know that this person can also be found in another place in your chart.
For example, in this All-In-One chart, Maria Shriver appears twice - attached once to her biological parents, and once to her adoptive parents:
I have similar situations and FTB DOES show the same relations in more than one place if they are ancestors of more than one person.
Dunno about diagrams...

Trial resumes for New Lenox man accused of throwing near-fatal punch
By Brian Stanley firstname.lastname@example.com December 5, 2012 3:44PM
Joseph P. Messina
Updated: January 7, 2013 7:16AM
The trial of a New Lenox man accused of severely injuring another man with a punch outside a Mokena bar in 2009 resumed Wednesday.
Prosecutors say Joseph Messina, 24, hit Eric J. Bartels, 29, outside 191 South on July 25, 2009, causing Bartels to fracture his skull on the pavement and suffer a brain injury that left him paralyzed, blind and mute.
Messina is facing a bench trial before Judge Sarah Jones that has stopped and started while prosecutors dealt with other cases. During the most recent day of testimony in June, a friend of Bartels said the victim told Messina to "take care" of a blood stain on his shirt before Messina hit him.
On Wednesday, Mokena Detective Greg Selin testified he was given the gray T-shirt Bartels was wearing after it was cut off by staffers at Provena St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet. William Anselme, a forensic scientist who examines biological evidence in the state crime lab, testified blood was found on the shirt.
Anselme also told Assistant Will County State's Attorneys Mike Fitzgerald and Chris Koch he also found blood on another T-shirt and pair of blue jeans, while a third shirt and gym shoes were tested, but didn't have any blood on them.
Prosecutors expect to finish their case Thursday. Messina is represented by attorneys Dave Carlson and Ken Zelazo.
Under cross examination, Anselme told Zelazo he took "samples" from the clothing for DNA evidence, but did not perform any testing.
Bartels' mother, Janet, has sued the hospitals and two doctors who treated her son. She claims the staff of Silver Cross Hospital, which was in Joliet at the time, miscommunicated with the responders who brought Bartels there, and miscommunicated with staff at St. Joe's when he was transferred there, which delayed the treatment of his brain injury.

Kadner: Candidates ask, 'Why no debates?'
By Phil Kadner email@example.com March 7, 2013 9:08PM
Marcus Lewis
Updated: April 9, 2013 11:43AM
Marcus Lewis, an independent candidate running for Jesse Jackson Jr.'s former congressional seat, would like a chance to debate his opponents.
So would Sandra Bury, who's running for mayor of Oak Lawn against incumbent Dave Heilmann.
It appears unlikely that either of them will get the opportunity.
I confess to being skeptical about the value of candidate forums. I've witnessed a lot of political debates, and very few have produced much in the way of enlightenment.
At best, they can give voters an indication of whether a candidate is an effective public speaker and has the power to influence people through the use of words.
At their worst, they allow voters to be deceived by candidates who misrepresent their records or make false allegations about their opponents.
"There were about 20 debates in the 2nd Congressional District during the primary election (last month)," Lewis said. "But I haven't been invited to one debate for the general election in April.
"People just assume that since Robin Kelly won the Democratic primary, she's the congresswoman-elect. Well, that's not how the process works. That's why we have elections."
Lewis points out that he received about 40,000 votes when he ran against Jackson in the Nov. 6 general election, about twice as many votes as Kelly received in her Feb. 26 primary victory.
But the fact is that about 80 percent of the district votes Democratic, and 16 Democratic candidates split the party's vote during last month's primary.
"The fact is that the last two Democrats who represented this congressional district were indicted by the federal government. Voters should have an opportunity to hear the Republican, Green Party and independent candidates debate Kelly on the issues that concern them," Lewis said.
"Instead, there's just silence out here. It's like you're in the forest, and all you hear are crickets."
Lewis, 54, is a U.S. Postal Service employee who works in the "We Care" department.
"We repair the damaged mail, repackage it and ship it out in a 'We Care' envelope to its destination," he said. "I like it because I care, and that's the way I would represent the people as a congressman. I want to repair an office that has been damaged by lying congressmen in the past."
Lewis, like Robin Kelly, lives in Matteson. LeAlan Jones, 33, is the Green Party candidate and lives in Chicago's South Shore community.
Jones, who describes himself as an author and radio documentary producer, also wants to debate Kelly.
"It would be a complete travesty for Robin Kelly to not participate in a debate. She's trying to hold the basketball and run out the clock," Jones said.
The League of Women Voters of both Homewood-Flossmoor and Park Forest co-sponsored a debate at Governors State University during the recent primary election campaign.
But officials of the H-F chapter said they do not organize such events, acting merely as facilitators when a host organization asks them to provide moderators, timekeepers and other logistical help.
"We're sort of the 'hired help,' " one official said. "An organization decides to arrange an unbiased forum, and we provide the help. Of course, we don't charge for that help."
I was told the H-F League is so busy organizing debates in local school board elections that it would not have anyone available to organize a congressional debate now.
A Governors State spokeswoman would only say the college has "no plans" to host a debate for the 2nd District special election, declining to explain how or why it made that decision.
The spokesman for the state chapter of AARP, which also hosted a congressional debate during the primary, said it also is not interested in planning such an event for the April election.
After all the news media attention focused on Jackson's absence from Congress last year, it does seem hypocritical that the special election for his office seems to be a foregone conclusion.
Bury, an optometrist in Oak Lawn, has experienced similar frustration trying to arrange a debate with Heilmann.
She contacted the League of Women Voters of the Palos-Orland Area and was told there had to be a host group. A Masonic lodge volunteered, but the LWV said it would not participate in an event hosted by an entity that did not accept women as members.
Bury, a member of the Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce, said that organization traditionally hosts debates for village elections but this time dropped out for reasons she found suspect.
Jeff Reichl, president of the chamber, said he sent out invitations to a debate to candidates for mayor, clerk and trustee but only a few candidates responded.
"Due to the lack of interest, we canceled our plans," Reichl said.
Are debates really necessary?
"This is an important election for the future of Oak Lawn," Bury said. "A debate helps to increase voter awareness and interest and that's part of the democratic process. There are people here who don't even know there's an election coming up in April."
I also received emails from a woman in Crestwood who tried without success to arrange a mayoral debate there.
Despite my cynicism, there is something beneficial about forcing candidates for office to get out in public and explain their positions.
Kelly's victory was essentially purchased by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose super PAC bought $2.2 million in television commercials.
She really hasn't faced any intense questioning about her positions or personal views despite the primary campaign.
Governments in Oak Lawn and Crestwood each face issues deserving of close public scrutiny.
I still have reservations about the usefulness of debates.
But they are one of the few ways voters have of seeing how a candidate might react under pressure if elected to office.
It's not much. But it's better than nothing.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Superstorm Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline with 80 mph winds Monday night and hurled an unprecedented 13-foot surge of seawater at New York City, threatening its subways and the electrical system that powers Wall Street.
At least 10 U.S. deaths were blamed on the storm.
Sandy knocked out power to at least 3.1 million people across the East, and large sections of Manhattan were plunged into darkness.
Shortly after the massive storm made landfall in southern New Jersey, Consolidated Edison cut power to about 6,500 customers in downtown Manhattan to avert further damage. Then, huge swaths of the city went dark; 250,000 customers in Manhattan lost power, Con Ed spokesman Chris Olert said.
An additional 1 million customers lost power earlier Monday in New York City, the northern suburbs and coastal Long Island, where floodwaters swamped cars, downed trees and put neighborhoods under water.
By Monday night, only one death from the storm had been reported in New York City: a man who died when a tree fell on his home in the Flushing section of Queens.
Just before the storm's center reached land, forecasters stripped it of hurricane status, but the distinction was purely technical, based on its shape and internal temperature. It still packed hurricane-force winds, and forecasters were careful to say it remained every bit as dangerous to the 50 million people in its path.
As the storm closed in, it smacked the boarded-up big cities of the Northeast corridor — Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston — with stinging rain and gusts of more than 85 mph. It also converged with a cold-weather system that turned it into a superstorm, a monstrous hybrid of rain, high wind and snow.
Sandy made landfall at 8 p.m. near Atlantic City, which already was mostly under water. A piece of its world-famous Boardwalk washed away earlier in the day.
Authorities reported a record surge 13 feet high at the Battery at the southern tip of Manhattan, from the storm and high tide combined.
In an attempt to lessen damage from saltwater to the subway system and the electrical network beneath the city's financial district, New York City's main utility cut power to about 6,500 customers in lower Manhattan. But a far wider swath of the city was hit with blackouts caused by flooding and transformer explosions.
The subway system was shut down Sunday night, and the stock markets closed for Monday and Tuesday.
The surge hit New York City hours after a construction crane atop a luxury high-rise collapsed in the wind and dangled precariously 74 floors above the street. Forecasters said the wind at the top the building may have been close to 95 mph.
As the storm drew near, airlines canceled more than 12,000 flights, disrupting the plans of travelers all over the world.
Storm damage was projected at $10 billion to $20 billion, meaning it could prove to be one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
Ten deaths were reported in New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Some of the victims were killed by falling trees. At least one death was blamed on the storm in Canada.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney canceled their campaign appearances at the very height of the race, with just over a week to go before Election Day. The president pledged the government's help and made a direct plea from the White House to those in the storm's path.
"When they tell you to evacuate, you need to evacuate," Obama said. "Don't delay, don't pause, don't question the instructions that are being given, because this is a powerful storm."
Sandy, which killed 69 people in the Caribbean before making its way up the Atlantic, began to hook left at midday toward the New Jersey coast.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said people were stranded in Atlantic City, which sits on a barrier island. He accused the mayor of allowing them to stay there. With the hurricane roaring through, Christie warned it was no longer safe for rescuers, and he advised people who didn't evacuate the barrier islands to "hunker down" until morning.
"I hope, I pray, that there won't be any loss of life because of it," he said.
While the hurricane's 90 mph winds registered as only a Category 1 on a scale of five, it packed "astoundingly low" barometric pressure, giving it terrific energy to push water inland, said Kerry Emanuel, a professor of meteorology at MIT.
And the New York metropolitan apparently got the worst of it, because it was on the dangerous northeastern wall of the storm.
"We are looking at the highest storm surges ever recorded" in the Northeast, said Jeff Masters, meteorology director for Weather Underground, a private forecasting service. "The energy of the storm surge is off the charts, basically."
Hours before landfall, there was graphic evidence of the storm's power.
A construction crane atop a luxury high-rise in New York City collapsed in the wind and dangled precariously 74 floors above the street. Forecasters said the wind at the top the building may have been close to 95 mph.
Off North Carolina, a replica of the 18th-century sailing ship HMS Bounty that was built for the 1962 Marlon Brando movie "Mutiny on the Bounty" went down in the storm, and 14 crew members were rescued by helicopter from rubber lifeboats bobbing in 18-foot seas. Another crew member was found hours later but was unresponsive. The captain was missing.
At Cape May, water sloshed over the seawall, and it punched through dunes in other seaside communities.
In Maryland, at least 100 feet of a fishing pier at the beach resort of Ocean City was destroyed, and Gov. Martin O'Malley said there would be devastating flooding from the swollen Chesapeake Bay.
At least half a million people had been ordered to evacuate, including 375,000 from low-lying parts of New York City, and by the afternoon authorities were warning that it could be too late for people who had not left already.

US Warns Pakistan over NY Bomb Plot
May 13, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
The US secretary of state says Islamabad would face "very severe consequences," if a terrorist attack on US soil was traced to Pakistan.
"We've made it very clear that if — heaven-forbid — an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences," Hillary Clinton told CBS TV during an interview on Saturday.
However, she acknowledged that Pakistan's attitude toward fighting terrorists had changed remarkably, but emphasized that US President Barack Obama's administration "expects more."
The remarks followed the arrest of Faisal Shahzad, the suspect behind a failed bombing in New York's Time Square.
US investigators believe the bomb plot was formulated by more than just one person and US media suggested that Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) was linked with the attempt.
However, TTP, a pro-Taliban militant group, has denied any connection with Shahzad.
The Obama Administration officials have said that "their top priority was to nail down Shahzad's links to militant groups, and then to press Pakistan to act against the groups."

Subaru Forester Electrical/Lighting Issues
ateixeira Posts: 72,587If it suffered from hydrolock, who knows what sort of damage was done to the engine internals.
A group of us used to go to the Pine Barrens for some off road fun, and a V6 Trooper hydrolocked, and it bent a rod. Stopped it dead in its tracks.
The odd thing is that it runs at all.
Does it throw a check-engine light? If so a good OBDII scanner can read the codes. -
bubba2003 Posts: 2I have a 99 forester, that I replaced the head gasket on. The car will start and run fine beside the O2 sensor and Speed sensor that I need to replace. Now when I put the key in the on position The fuel pump relay, ac relay, fan relays, and pressure switching solenoid kick on and off like every second or two. The CEL starts to flash immediatly and constantly. When I drive the car it does the samething. All these circuits are on the E/G ign Air bag fuse. When I check the ECM voltages the pins for Injectors, sensors, power supply ,and Igition system grounds all have .5 volts or less. The line end check 2 pin should have 5 volts and it's 0. I have no clue what that is. So before I go nuts checking and finding that ground does anyone have some pointers.
Thanks -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738How long before this problem developed did you replace the head gasket?

hths Posts: 1i have a 10 month old Forester. It's just dead after parking for a week. no power at all. even keyless control doesn't work. I tried to jump it. But, it didn't work. I cannot even the dashboard light come on. Now, it was towed to the dealer. I was told they were able to jumpstart the car without any problem. They didn't get back to me why there is no power in the first place yet. But, i would like to ask whether this happens to anybody else. And, what might be the problem? I am going on a 1500miles trip next week. Afraid it will be dead on me during the trip.
thanks... -
grammalexis Posts: 1We have a 2006 Forester that has begun to show a problem with the turn signals. The right is ok, but when I step on the brake with the left signal on, the dash flasher stops (stays on weakly) and the signal bulbs stay on, both front and back. With the foot off the brake, the left signal functions properly. Since all bulbs come on at some point, it can't be a bulb or fuse problem. Not sure what else to check.
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Well, it *could* be a bulb if one filament broke and is touching the other, but it could also be a rubbed wire. I would go for the easy approach first and just put new bulbs in all around (they're cheap, it is easy, and the car was been on the road long enough that it one or more is likely to burn out soon anyway).2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon

2c2no Posts: 1Hi Kane1.
Im seeking an answer to the same problem for a 2001 Forester. Its not the parking light switch though, unless there is something wrong with the switch itself.
For almost a week now, the exterior lights will not turn off when the car is off. I've had to disconnect the negative battery cable when I park the car for the night to get the lights to go out. Any ideas? -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,738Just the running lights and not the headlights? It most likely is the parking switch on top of the steering column. If that is not making a difference, perhaps it has gone bad by some unfortunate fluke? Better that than a worn wire in some inaccessible body panel some where, but still obnoxious nonetheless.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon

Final Medal Count
It is a rare time, once every two years, when people of all countries gather to compete for the pride and respect of their nation. It is a time when competition rages, and the entire world holds their breath and waits for a winner to emerge. It is a time where the whole world comes together on one stage. And that time is here. It is with great privellege that I present to you the 2010 Fantastic Olympic Games. Here is how it works:
Choosing Teams:
- Each team will represent a country.
- Teams may contain up to 3 players. (If anyone REALLY REALLY wants, I could possibly allow a team of 4)
- Choosing teams is on a first-come first-serve basis.
- To choose what country you want, just reply to this topic or PM me with the country you would like. You will be assigned to that country unless it already has 3 players on it.
- You do NOT have to qualify before you select your country, although if you don't turn in a qualifier before the deadline, you will not be allowed to participate in the games.
- Each team will have one captain that will submit the designs for your team, and that I will refer to if there are any issues.
- Check 2 posts below this to see if your country is available.
All countries will participate in one event (level) at a time. Each level will resemble an olympic event and will have a scoring system that I think would most appropriately represents the scoring for that event. Scoring systems will be posted with the levels as each new event comes out. Each member of a country will collaborate on a design. to get one solve that they will turn in as a team. Once the deadline is up, the highest scoring country will recieve a gold medal, while 2nd and 3rd recieve silver and bronze respectively. 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. will recieve no medal. The next event will then be released. There will be approximately 6 events.
After every event has been completed, I will tally up the medals. I will post each country's gold, silver, and bronze medals, as well as how many total medals they acquired. No official winner will be declared (as in the real olympics), but it will be clear who had the most gold medals, as well as which countries had more medals than other countries.
Level: Light The Torch
Scoring: None. Just beat it to qualify.
Deadline: Thurs, Feb. 11th, 10PM CST.
PM your submissions. Don't worry about submission formats for the qualifier, but I'll put those up once the events start. EACH PLAYER MUST SUBMIT THEIR OWN DESIGN FOR THE QUALIFIER
I realize that the deadline is pretty far away, but I want the first event to begin when the actual Olympics start, which is Feb 12th. I made this topic very early because people were getting angsty about calling dibs for their countries. If you guys would like, I could start Round 1 earlier, or I could post levels and challenges to keep you guys entertained. Let me know.

Case Study
Built by an experimental architect and suffused with a midcentury mood, the L.A. home of fashion designer Trina Turk is a lesson in vintage living at its finest
By Christine Lennon
Then newlyweds, Turk and Skow landed here in 1985, when a job at the surfwear company Ocean Pacific lured her south from Seattle. "We cranked out so many of those color-blocked shorts," laughs the designer. She launched her eponymous, retro-patterned clothing line a decade later and now dresses the likes of Eva Mendes and Teri Hatcher. Over the years, Turk and her husband have steadily upgraded their stash of vintage furniture as well as the residences in which it's all been deployed. Five years ago the couple settled into a pedigreed and extremely handsome house that most design and architecture groupies can only dream about. The low-slung post-and-beam prize was built in the 1940s by J. R. Davidson—one of the great Case Study architects—and once was photographed by Julius Shulman (the 96-year-old lens legend has snapped practically every modern residence worth recording in the past 70-odd years).
"It's called the Schapiro house, after the original owners, who lived here until 1996—we're only the third owners," says Turk. A fine-building buff, the designer installed her Palm Springs boutique in a structure designed in the 1960s by the father of desert modernism, Albert Frey. "I was born and raised in California, and this place embodies what it feels like to be a Californian."
Before they purchased it, Skow actually had spent several days working at the house, which the previous owner rented out for fashion and location shoots. "Trina had never seen it, but I'd shown her pictures and talked about it all the time," he says. "Then one day when I was shooting in Atlanta, Trina came to see it with our Realtor. She called me and said, 'I think that I'm in the place you wanted to buy.' I didn't know it was for sale."
Since the bones were intact (including the compact bathrooms and Vitrolite counters), the couple kept renovations to a minimum. Still, a few nips and tucks were required. Turk and Skow had the pool updated and replaced the lush landscaping with more spare and geometric plantings. They also laid gleaming terrazzo floors throughout the interior and restored the wood paneling. But decorating has been the best part.

Studded Strapless Mesh Dress
Show stopper!
I agree it's not true to size, but it's workable as a must have. I am 5'2, 125 lbs, 29-28 jeans with a 34 B cup. I tried on the small on and it looked great and was perfect for my boobs, but way on the short side. The medium on other hand could have hugged my body a bit more, and way loose on the top. I refuse to use the bra straps it comes with so I bought a push bra with clear straps instead. It's a must have. I love it and I make it work. Show stopper, tons of compliments for new years.

Gorgeous dress
This dress is gorgeous! Looks much better in person. I don't understand how everyone is saying it fits true to size. I'm 5'3 120 and I can't zipper the small all the way. Might need to try a medium or give up.
January 19, 2013
It fits perfect and definitely a show stopper. Everyone loved the dress.
January 6, 2013
Sexy, sophisticated.
Fits true to size. I'm 100 lbs. and 5"4" and the XS fit very well. The store didn't have an XXS of which I've bought many times at Bebe, but the XS seemed to work very well, so I bought it. Still hugged my curves. The XXS might not have fit as well this time. The store manager said this dress might run just a tad bit large, but if it does it is not by much, since I still might have been able to take the XXS. But it looks classy, sexy, and stunning on my shape. Glad I got it. Great buy!
