Stormers season review. Where did it go wrong?
July 16, 2013 in Uncategorized
The Stormers had a rugged campaign full of ups and downs; here is my season review of the Stormers campaign.
Tough Start:
The Stormers probably had the toughest start of all teams in the competition. They started with 2 away games at the Bulls and then in Durban against the Sharks. Both games where tightly contested affairs but in the end the Stormers walked away with just one point from the opening 2 games. They then had the tough task of facing a very confident Chiefs side at home and although they came away with the win they let the visitors walk away with 2 bonus points, something that would rarely have been seen in previous seasons.
The Stormers then had a bye and it came at a good stage as they needed to rethink their game plan and how they were going to go about the rest of the season. They then faced a Brumbies side that at the time was on top of the log and was playing with tremendous confidence. The Stormers came out and looked like a different team beating the visitors 35-22 and a lot of people thought that it would be the turnaround of their season for the Stormers, but then came the next game against the Crusaders, a bogey team for the Stormers in recent years. The Stormers looked far from the side that in the previous week played the Brumbies of their feet and in the end the Crusaders walked away with a well-deserved victory in front of the "Cape Crusade".
The season was not looking good for the Stormers after the loss against the Crusaders and then had the tough prospect of facing the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein, a must win game for a team in unknown territory in the bottom halve of the log. The Stormers didn't play to badly in the game, but neither did the Cheetahs and in the end, harshly I might add, de Allende gave away a penalty to the Cheetahs and Burton Francis had a chance to win the game in stoppage time. He slotted the penalty and the Stormers walked away with knowing that it would be very difficult for them to turn the season around.
The Stormers then played the Sharks at Newlands and as always it was a tough local derby but in the end a relieved Stormers outfit walked away with a win.
The Tour:
The Stormers had a bye before the start of the tour and it looked to benefit them as they started the tour with a very tough win against the Hurricanes. They then traveled to Auckland to face a very dangerous Blues side and once again it was heartbreak for the Stormers as they put in a valiant effort and lost against the Blues 18-17. It was a tough way to end a week where the Stormers had also been fined for "verbal abuse" against a match official in the Hurricanes win.
They were off to Australia to play the Waratahs and as had happened so many times in the season for the Stormers they lost out with less than 7 points losing 21-15 with a late try from Israel Foloa winning the game for the hosts. After that game the Stormers faced the Rebels and as a union faced an all-time low as they went down to the Rebels 30-21 and in the process became the first South African side to ever fall victim to the Melbourne side.
The Run – In:
The Stormers were back at Newlands knowing that only a miracle would help them to progress in the competition. They faced the Reds and after a tough and bruising game they came out winners 20-15. The Stormers knew that they didn't stand any real chance to make the play-offs and finally started playing some good rugby in the following weeks.
The Stormers went on to record 2 wins against the Kings, and also good victories against the Cheetahs and Bulls.
The Stormers struggled in the campaign with a lot of injuries playing a massive role in the outcome of the season. The Stormers were forced to make positional changes and blood new players in Super Rugby as players were on the receiving end of season ending injuries at crucial times in the campaign. The Stormers could also never build solid momentum at home as a grueling fixture list had them traveling and playing some of the toughest Super Rugby teams away from home. New recruits Jaco Taute, Elton Jantjies and Michael Rhodes also didn't have the desired impact although because of injury Jantjies had a long run in the Stormers number 10 jersey. Another major problem for the Stormers was also the fact that they did not score enough tries, and as in previous seasons, supporters and experts were scratching heads trying to find out how a backline as talented as the Stormers are incapable of scoring tries.
The Stormers had a bad season, but it's a season where there were positives shown. It's a season that the Stormers will need to learn from to make themselves proper title contenders in coming seasons.

Toyota Avalon - Remotes, Remote Start, Door Locks and Security System Questions
raleighwolf Posts: 40
nimimi Posts: 249The universal meaning of FOB is "free on board" and refers to when ownership of purchase goods happens (i.e., FOB factory means that the purchaser "owns" the goods at the factory and takes responsibility for the goods from that point onward). FOB can also mean the remote unit, commonly referred to as a "key fob." This usually means a chain that attaches to a key or a pocket watch.

Changed daughters' brake booster,disconnected battery.
Upon re-assembly,car started right up and I drove a few trips-no problems.
Now,I turn key to start,and NO dash lights or any accessories powered OTHER than door locks!?
Battery fully charged. Help!!!
Anybody else have similar problems?
TIA,Jeff. :sick: :confuse: -
steve326a Posts: 58You may wanna check the battery terminals including the clamps that hold the wires on the connectors. They have a history of corrosion. Right now, it may just be passing enough juice to power your locks but that is all. Also have your battery and alternator system checked.
Hope this helps,

henryat1140 Posts: 13Has anyone with a Limited been able to change the door lock behavior so that the doors don't lock until the veh. speed is 12mph? This is SUPPOSED to be owner programmable.
I've read the manual and tried to change it per the instructions in the manual AND on the Toyota animated guide, but it can't work they way they describe.
In particular they say turn the ignition on and then move the gear selector to drive. Problem is you cannot move the lever UNLESS the engine is started. IOW there is no 'turn the ignition on' in the limited;- nothing happens in the car unless you put your foot on the brake - at that point the green light comes on and the engine starts (normal behavior).
If you start the engine, it APPEARS as though you cannot complete the rest of the procedure. I've tried it more than once.
Is this a glitch (Toyota never imagined the combination of BOTH the smart key and the desire to make the programming change)?
OR am I completely mis reading the procedure?
Anyone else tried or solved this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Henry -
jdre86 Posts: 30Henry, you can move the gear selector out of park without the engine on. First you have to put the ignition in the "on" mode without the engine on. To do this, push the "START" button twice (WITHOUT your foot on the brake pedal). The light on the Engine Start/Stop button will be orange. Then put your foot on the brake pedal and shift out of park.
Pushing the button twice is the same as turning the key to the "on" position but not starting it in a car without the Smart Key System.
Let me know if this helps you. -
henryat1140 Posts: 13Thank you for the response. I'll give that method a try AS SOON AS MY CAR COMES OUT OF THE BODY SHOP ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Just after posing my message unfortunately I was involved in a deer-car collision. Actually, not even my fault. The deer bolted from a hedge into the path of the car in the oncoming lane - he clipped the deer and punted it squarely into my Avalon. There was no time to react - just a brown flash and big thud. Most of the structure below the hood is damaged. I'm waiting for the body shop to assess the damage.
So, like I say as soon as I can I'll try your method. Meanwhile I'm fretting. My car NEVER spent a night out of the garage, and here is is out in the weather.

airboss Posts: 17We're looking at a 2007 Avalon Limited, with the Smart Key system. I'm curious if the individual key fobs are 'related' to the memory seat positioning (one fob sets to memory 1 and the other sets to memory 2)?
The salesguy didn't know the key fob proximity adjusted the seats, but Toyota website says it does. I want to be able to have it set to me when I get in the car, with my fob, and the same for wife. I guess the question is what happens when we walk up the car together? -
nimimi Posts: 249You adjust the seat and mirrors for yourself and then press the "set" button and 1 or 2 on the door to memorize the positions. Your wife then does the same and presses the other button. Then, the car senses the fob for whoever is "in the drivers seat" and adjusts both accordingly (seat and outside mirrors -- not the seat extension, however).
beachfish Posts: 97Hi folks. Any suggestions on disabling the beeps on an '06 XLS when locking or unlocking the car with the remote? I tried the directions in the manual (IIRC: with the door open, remove key, turn to on, etc.) and got nowhere. The instructions say the car will respond with 2 beeps, but I've gotten none so far.
John -
beachfish Posts: 97The service manager and a salesman couldn't disable the beeps either. The sales guy suggested holding one button down all while following the steps in the owner's manual. NOPE.
Now, if I can just find a comfortable seat position and deal with the lack of a fold-down rear seat I might just keep the car.
I guess I didn't mention that after I took 5 weeks off from work to care for my 85-year-old parents and get them moved into assisted living my father gave me the car. He was doing fine when he bought it, but then needed back surgery.
He's given me some nice things over the years, but never a car. It had a $39,600 sticker (he paid 33 and change) and only has 6,000 miles on it - 4k when I started driving it in December.
John 'beep-beep' beachfish
P.S. - Shame it wasn't a truck. Do you know how much stuff 2 people can collect in 62 years of marriage? I'm moving furniture to the assisted living center, cleaning out their house and selling it. -
avalonfan1 Posts: 4
tbcavalon Posts: 2I had the very same problem. I determined that the small, 12VDC motor that controls this action was bad. It was difficult to replace, but as it was over $350 to replace the door latch assembly (per dealer) and the motor (FC-280PT-22125) was less that $1.50, I felt it was worth it in the end. I took some photos of the dissassembly.
I found the motor on ebay: Here. -
tag16c Posts: 2wrsutton
I am tag16c. You referred to my ad about the door lock actuator motors on ebay in one of your post several months ago. Thank you sooooo much.
I have had a hard time finding them but finally I have found an exact replacement for the Mabuchi FC 280PT-22125. I have tested it and verified the specifications and the only difference is they are more expensive.
The link in your post is now invalid but search for FC 280PT 22125 on eBay and the new ad will appear.
Forum rules dictate I cannot announce the ad myself because I am the seller.
Check out my eBay ad and spread the news.
Thank you

wolfej50 Posts: 1Both of our fobs stopped working on our 2001 Avalon on Jan 1 2010. I've replaced the battery (on the remote change that both batteries died on the same day), but no joy. Could there be some kind of date function in the fob or the car's computer that would cause this failure? This sounds suspiciously like a programming bug.
lee_anders Posts: 2Tom,
Interested if you have found a solution to this door lock change problem? I have just bought a 2010 Avalon Limited and am having the exact same problem. The owner manual instructions simply do not work for this change - as you well know. Tell me what you may have discovered these last few weeks.
Thanks......Lee Anders -
lee_anders Posts: 2New 2010 LImited....tried numerous times to change the auto door locks from the default position to the setting that locks the doors only after reaching approx 12 MPH. Clear instructions provided in the owners manual.....simply do not work for this car. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.....Lee Anders
punnu17 Posts: 1I recently bought toyota avalon 1999. I received one remote which is not working. Dealer told me that it should be the dead battery. But it is still not working after replacing the battery. The red led on the remote is working on the remote this means remote is fine. But it is not able to lock/unlock doors of my car.
My power doors are working as I am able to lock/unlock doors from the driving seat.
I also noticed that the Toyota security LED is not blinking even after I lock the car. I dont know if the remotes are related to Toyota Security or not.
I appreciate if you can tell me how to diagnose the issue, I want to fix it myself as I heard that Toyota dealer charge too much for this.
Thanks in advance,
Puneet -
markas Posts: 5It sounds like the remote may need to be programmed to your car. When I got a new remote, they had to look up a code to allow the remote to deactivate the security system and open the doors. As far as I know, you can't do it yourself. Either a locksmith that deals with toyota remotes or authorized Toyota garage or a dealer itself.
That is mostly speculation on my part. Perhaps someone else might have a way to do it, or suggest another alternative.

I just picked up a 10gal orange drink cooler and a 7.5gal brew kettle. I may regret not going 10... but it was used, cheap, and already ported for a thermometer and ball valve. It has an old ball valve on there, and it works. But i was wondering if I could use the valve from my smaller orange drink cooler? I could just take it apart and see if it fits. The kettle wasn't drilled, I don't think. Where the port it the kettle itself actually petrudes. Does that make sense? Or should I just leave the valve that's on there? Also wondering if someone can recommend a good thermometer to add? And how hard would it be to add a sight glass thing? I guess the downfall is the kettle doesn't have any handles... but I really shouldn't be moving 5+ gal of hot wort anyway right? [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]
Can't really tell if you other "unknown size" ball valve would fit, but if the one on there works, why bother...no handles? Happy brewing!
Yeah no handles, didn't realize it till i hauled it into the house! Think it will be an issue? I got the pot for $50. Figure I'll learn to deal. He had a cheaper 30qt with handles and no valves for $30. Maybe I should get that for my sparge water? Or use my 20qt for that? I assume I just have to chill right on my burner then drain into my carboy?

Don McPeak/US PresswireKenny Britt credits one of his high school coaches, Rick Rodriguez, with launching his football career.
Editor's Note: This feature begins the AFC South blog's summer series: "Early Influence." In the coming weeks, a number of players and some coaches will pay tribute to people who helped them make it to the NFL.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- If there was no Rick Rodriguez, there would be no Kenny Britt -- not the NFL version anyway.
The Tennessee Titans' second-year receiver said without the influential coach who set him on course in high school, his prospects would be dim.
"Without him, I wouldn't be playing football," Britt said. "I wasn't that good at basketball, so I don't think I'd be playing basketball either. Right now, to tell you the truth, I'd be running the streets with my friends. I honestly believe that.
"I didn't want to go to college, I didn't really like school. I was never really good with school. He kept me on a line, he kept me focused."
Every NFL player probably has some influential figure from a formative time whose teachings still resonate. There are touchstone lessons, sayings or themes that held and helped as a route to the league was plowed and paved.
Rodriguez began teaching Britt lessons before the student even became a Bayonne (N.J.) High School varsity football player.
Rodriguez's Fighting Bees won a state championship in 2002, when Britt was a freshman not on the team. Rodriguez said he kicked Britt off the team going into the student's sophomore year; Britt said he quit because he couldn't bear being a substitute. Either way, there was a late-summer meeting that led to a reconciliation that set Britt's path.
[+] Enlarge
Rick Rodriguez Coach Rick Rodriguez convinced a young Kenny Britt that if he worked hard and stayed focused, he'd make something of himself.
Said Britt of a meeting at his family's house: "He told me, 'Right now you'll just be playing JV. But if you stay at it, if you work hard, if you stay in the weight room, you're going to be somebody throughout your life.' So I believed in it."
Rodriguez loved Britt's size, athleticism and endurance. He said Britt could do 10 back flips in a row and could never be punished with gassers or a series of 110-yard sprints.
"That's like drinking a tall glass of water for Kenny," he said. "That kid can run all day."
They both talk excitedly about how Britt, not yet having played a varsity game, wowed coaches when he went to Syracuse's football camp with Rodriguez and a Bayonne contingent.
Britt thought one precise, textbook post route that cleared the safety really caught Syracuse's attention. Rodriguez remembers Britt "killing" a cornerback who was an Orangemen recruit. Britt left upstate New York with a scholarship offer and a reality check from Rodriguez -- it was a piece of paper that could be taken away as easily as it was given.
From there, the two bonded, typically eating lunch together at school. Britt wore his coach's fancy watch to his prom.
Rodriguez's weight-room demands are one big reason Britt turned into a sculpted, physical receiver, he said. The Titans broke a long streak of not drafting receivers in the first round largely because of Britt's ability to get off a jam at the line of scrimmage. It's a skill that started to develop because of the emphasis Rodriguez placed on lifting and physicality.
Despite his 29-12 record, Rodriguez was removed as head coach before Britt's senior year. That season, Britt caught just 10 passes. Ultimately, he accepted a scholarship to Rutgers, and in his freshman year with the Scarlet Knights he caught 10 passes in a win at West Virginia.
Britt and Rodriguez, who teaches social studies at Bayonne High and still hopes to return to coaching, are in regular contact. Rodriguez called recently to congratulate Britt on his son's christening.
"He definitely knows how I feel about him," Britt said. "My rookie season he called me up once a week and told me, 'Be a pro. Regardless of what you do, be a pro. Stay focused. Be in the classroom, make sure you're studying. Be in the weight room.' Make sure you be a pro, that's the first thing he says. Make sure you be a pro, that's the last thing he says."'
Rodriguez said he hopes to influence every kid he coaches, but admits it's gratifying to hear Britt speak fondly of him.
"To see a kid make it in the NFL, get drafted in the first round, I mean come on, that's a coach's dream come true," he said. "I'm proud of all he's accomplished."

Space Magic
Architect Jack Wettling reimagined a floor-through artists loft in Manhattan for a young family of four without sacrificing privacy or openness.
By Aric Chen
Asked to renovate a one-bedroom, one-bath loft located in Manhattans trendy NoHo neighborhood ("North of Houston" Street), architect Jack Wettling was given a long space and a tall order: The narrow, 110-foot-long floor-through "had to become a two-bedroom with three baths," he says. Then there was the study/guest room that the clients, Derek and Martha Kellett, wanted. And the walk-in closets. A laundry room. Plenty of space for entertaining. More windows (no easy task in the regulation-heavy world of Manhattan co-ops). And did Wettling mention that the contractor went AWOL mid-construction? Oh, and Martha gave birth during the renovation too.
"We probably asked for a lot," jokes Martha, a former fashion executive who hails from Colombia. Yet nothing feels strained about the 2,000-square-foot apartment that Wettling designed for Martha and Derek, an Australian-born banking executive, and their children, Conor, 4, and Isabela, 2. Stretching the length of an early-1900s, onetime printing house, the sixth-floor home now flows seamlessly from front to back, with wide-plank wenge floors, soft neutral walls and clean lines that together express the warm, contemporary sensibility the clients sought.

Automatically Replicate Cloud Data
for Reporting and Archiving
Whether you need to mix and merge data from various SaaS and other application sources or you're doing more complex reporting, many SaaS application customers, like those using Salesforce CRM, prefer to leverage their existing on-premise reporting tools like Crystal reports, Cognos, or Microsoft Excel to get the job done.
This seems like an easy solution...until you try to keep the reporting tools up to date with real-time data or keep them consistent with the latest CRM modifications (like new fields and new objects).
Informatica Cloud Services not only feed your local BI/Reporting solution with real time data, but will also ensure that any new changes to your Salesforce or other SaaS applications are reflected in your local reporting solution. It takes about 15 minutes to set up and is provisioned over the web (requires NO hardware or software configuration).
Informatica Cloud Services streamline and automate the entire data import, export and synchronization process.
Replicating cloud applications data from Salesforce CRM and other systems is a common use case for Informatica Cloud Services. But don't take it from us:

2013 Spotlight Haunt Tours Announced!
The reason that HAuNTcon moves to a new city every year is to give attendees the chance to tour the Haunted Attractions that they could never get away from their own events to experience in October. These attractions go to a great deal of trouble and expense to open up off season and give HAuNTcon attendees a rare chance to tour the best haunted attractions in the country in close to full October operation mode.
HAuNTcon is proud to announce the 2013 Spotlight Tours as:
April 25, Thursday Night Spotlight Tour – 13th Street Morgue/ Dungeon of Doom, Red Oak, TX
April 26, Friday Night Spotlight Tour – Cutting Edge Haunted House, Ft. Worth, TX and
Hangman's House of Horrors
April 28, Sunday Night Spotlight Tour – Zombie Manor, Arlington, TX
Join us in thanking these spooktackular attractions for opening their businesses to the industry! We could not do HAuNTcon without the support of haunters like Alex Lohmann – 13th Street Morgue, Todd James – Cutting Edge Haunted House and Dean Jarnig – Zombie Manor.
STAY TUNED to HAuNTcon's website and Facebook pages, because there are so many haunted houses in Dallas that want to be a part of HAuNTcon 2013 that we are expanding the HAuNTcon Preshow Tours to include Haunt tours on Tuesday April 23 and Wednesday April 24.

First, I want to say a huge, gigantic, fabulous, big, wonderful shoutout to Johnson and Johnson for their fabulous give-away. I was one of the lucky winners in the BlogHer Travel Sweepstakes. I honestly don't know what I'd have done without them. The contacts there are so wonderfully kind and helpful and I just need to shout out to I've been working with the Design Tramps to pump out a few projects recently. As my graphic pimps, I'm their sexy code whore. (Which, having typed that should really should get me the type of awesome, high quality traffic that is probably looking to hire a web developer who puts out. Sigh.) A few of the most recent projects include, but are not limited to: So look, yea, I know, it's sort of a sickness. I'm going to need a 12 step program for NOT CHANGING MY BLOG. But not today. I thought I'd play with a few ideas I had and literally took 4 hours to redo the whole shibang here. I utilized a template pack from EE Templates to integrate my existing configurations and added in a dash of my own flavor. The result is a major overhaul in roughly the time it takes to watch three Northern Exposures (the theme of the font in title and nav) You'll also see the main part of the site is updated with a rotating "What's coming up this week" feature.

The actualized self, the best version of yourself, is there urging yourself to grow. There are methods and practices, some more intuitive than others, that bring you closer to your potential. It sounds so new-agy, all sorts of "two-thousand-oh-nine" but I believe it is closer to truth than the thirty previous years of my religious experience. I've been discussing. I discuss atheism with my husband, Christianity with one group of friends and eastern religion with others. I watch the intuitive nature of my children, how they are both full of love and utterly selfish, clashing in to tempers and fits. Their struggle is visible, palpable. I watch their emotions unfold outwardly. My job, according to our culture, is to teach them to suppress, handle, resolve, and...

I've noticed a lot of "Best Tweeple!" going around lately. And I see that there's a very large oversight in the names that are being tossed about. Like, for example, while Jennifer James had some great suggestions, she forgot one very important person. I'll give you three guesses. And no, it's not Alyssa Milano even if her rack puts my rack in the rack of shame. There are also some sort of "Twitter Awards" or something. Which, you know how well I do at awards. Clearly I There once was a girl named Michelle It's been nearly three years since we met There was the time we went for that run *For Nick. Who is also a Cracker. OOP Based Roughly on the OPP rap by Naughty By Nature. Chorus: I'm handing out pink slips. Tiny pink slips to parts of the list, the giant list of "things I do." Tiny pink slips to excuses. Tiny pink slips to not setting expectations. Tiny pink slips to missing out on field trips. Tiny pink slips to quick dinners and faster bed times. Tiny pink slips to the constant glow of the computer screen. At the end of the day I often hear, "but you're your own boss," and I puzzle. I am? No. I have people, clients, friends, websites. I have a husband who enjoys seeing me and children who need me. I am my own boss but I share the load. And these people don't let me lose focus.A few projects 01/Sep/2009

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Handsome!
Facts about Handsome
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- ID#: U2012187 Hair: Unknown
Handsome's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Handsom is a very affectionate boy. He will sleep with you. Not neutered when he was surrendered, he also needed surgery for entropian, when the eye lid is curved in causing constant irritation to the eye. Handsom has had his surgery and has reached maximum improvement with his eyes. He is super ready for adoption. Rumpel loves him!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Handsome, a Windsor Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Windsor, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Windsor.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Windsor already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Windsor breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Windsor paves the way for another one to be saved.

I dont know if this is a feature to the Mac version of Firefox - or a glitch.
Whenever I have a design running, then I click into another window,
my design "pauses" so it doesn't run in the background.
I thought it was a flash thing but other games do run in the background.
So I am leaning toward glitch..

One doctor calls it "dangerous" and "misguided" and says it should be rejected.
Another says it's all about the personal rights of patients, and should be embraced.
On election day Nov. 6, Massachusetts voters will decide who is correct.
Ballot question 2, entitled "Prescribing Medication to End Life," would allow someone with a terminal illness to request medication that would end their life.
At six pages long, the law would go into effect in Jan. 1, 2013, if voters approve it. And it would make Massachusetts just the third state in the nation to have a so-called "physician-assisted suicide," or "death with dignity" law, on the books.
But many physicians and physicians' groups, as well as most religious organizations, say the law as written is full of holes, is unethical, and would lead to exploitation of poor people.
"They call it physician-assisted suicide, and every physicians' society is opposed to it," said Lawrence doctor, Joseph Gravel, president of the Massachusetts Academy of Family Physicians, which is one of a dozen or so medical groups against the ballot question. "People who put this forth may be well-intentioned, but they are also misguided."
He said the law doesn't include adequate safeguards to ensure it's not abused by insurance companies looking to cut costs. And it doesn't protect poor people suffering from a terminal disease who may want to end their lives rather than be a financial burden to their families.
Proponents, however, say the ballot question would provide relief for suffering patients and their families and has plenty of safeguards in place. Moreover, they say, physicians have been helping ailing patients die for years using morphine.
"There's a lot of alarmist stuff out there," said Dr. Paul Spiers, PhD., a neuropsychologist in Danvers who serves on the faculty of the Boston University School of Medicine. "This has been the law in Oregon for 15 years, and there's been no slippery slope" of abuse of the law.
He noted that people who use the law "have to be terminal" and their request for life-ending medication "has to be corroborated by two physicians." He added, "there are 13 safeguards built into the law, the same as in Oregon and Washington."
Modeled after laws in those two Northwest states, Ballot Question 2 requires a person with a terminal disease to make a request to a doctor that their life be ended. The law would require the patient be deemed mentally competent and be diagnosed by "attending and consulting physicians" as having an "incurable, irreversible disease" that will cause death within six months.
The patient would have to "orally communicate to a physician on two occasions, 15 days apart" the request for the medication, while also being granted an opportunity to rescind the request. There are other measures as well in the law, set up to insure that the patient knows the alternatives to an assisted suicide; and making it illegal to coerce a patient or forge a request.
Despite these and other guidelines, there is still significant opposition to the proposal. The Catholic Church has come out against it, as have leaders in the Jewish community.
Rabbi Robert Goldstein, of Temple Emanuel in Andover, said he can see both sides of the argument, but that "most of my rabbinic colleagues are opposed to Question 2."
Reform Jewish rabbis and cantors in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts issued a statement, signed by rabbis from all over the state, opposing the measure because "it opens the possibility of misuse which may endanger certain patients; that prognoses of terminal illnesses are often mistaken; that the physician-patient relationship may become confused through permitting assisted suicide."
Goldstein said he did not sign the statement..
"The fact that I'm not opposed to it is controversial, even though I haven't supported it, either," he said. "I'm kind of a libertarian on these issues."
He said one reason many oppose the law is because it "intrudes on the sacred relationship between doctor and patient." He went on to note that "Jewish law prohibits you from killing someone, so assisted suicide is contrary to Jewish law."
However, he added, "I don't think of it that way. I think of it as a physician having the prerogative to increase pain-killing drugs."
He noted that in many cases, particularly with cancer patients suffering from a lot of pain, physicians will increase morphine levels for a patient, knowing that the patient will die more quickly.
"Isn't that the same thing?" he asked. "You're not killing patients, you're bringing them relief."
Dr. Gravel, who works at the Greater Lawrence Family Health Center in Lawrence, agreed with Goldstein that the ballot question intrudes on the relationship between doctor and patient, but disagreed that giving morphine is the same as writing a prescription for a drug that is designed to bring death to a person.
"If death is a side-effect of pain medication, that's not what we're talking about," he said. "That's adequate and appropriate medical practice."
He said palliative care, or taking care of people at the end of their life, is "way too nuanced and complex a topic for a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer on the ballot." He said that when people go to vote on it, most of them won't even have read the entire law.
"It opens up issues of trust about what a physician's responsibility is to the patient," he said. "Physicians are increasingly employed by organizations that may be financially stressed, so even if the physician is looking at the best interests of the patient, there will be some patients who will be concerned, and ask, is their physician trying to save money by being a conduit to this?
"A hospital or organization could literally benefit by someone dying rather than having very expensive end of life care," he said. He noted that end-of-life care is extremely costly, while more and more health providers are under tremendous pressure to reduce health care costs.
"I don't think family doctors should be in that position," he said, adding "Do I think an insurance company is going to send me a letter and say, 'You have to off this patient'? No. They are going to say, 'Look at your costs last month, your costs were higher than average, and we are going to pay you less.'"
At least one proponent of the bill said there has been a lot of alarmist rhetoric from the opposition about how more people are going to die when that hasn't happened in Oregon, where the law has been in place for 15 years.
Dr. Spiers, of Danvers, said people who have used it have been terminally ill.
"In Oregon, there have no excess of people abusing the law," he said. "It's all people with recent terminal illness. It has to be corroborated by two physicians. The person who is ill has to make the request. The family can't make the request."
Spiers became involved in the issue when he was asked by a friend to serve on a panel to tell his personal story: In 1994, he fell off a horse and suffered a spine injury and traumatic brain injury. He is paralyzed from the neck down.
"I would not have been eligible for this," he said. "The law wouldn't allow me."
He said critics' complaints that the law jeopardizes people with disabilities is untrue.
"From my perspective, this law protects people with disabilities," he said. But, he noted, if he were diagnosed with a terminal illness, he would want to have the choice of whether to end his life.
"It's supposed to be the patient's choice, not the physician's choice," he said. "They say, 'We are physicians, we can't kill people.' But I say, 'it's not you, it's the disease that's killing me. I want to be able to die among family on my own.'"
Excerpts from Question 2
Question 2, titled 'Prescribing Medication to End Life,' is on the Nov. 6 statewide ballot. Here are some highlights of the ballot question, based on a summary of the law published by Secretary of State William Francis Galvin:
-- The proposed law would allow a physician licensed in Massachusetts to prescribe medication, at a terminally ill patient's request, to end that patient's life.
-- To qualify, a patient would have to be an adult resident who is medically determined to be mentally capable of making and communicating health care decisions; (2) has been diagnosed by attending and consulting physicians as having an incurable, irreversible disease that will, within reasonable medical judgment, cause death within six months; and (3) voluntarily expresses a wish to die and has made an informed decision.
-- The proposed law states that the patient would ingest the medicine in order to cause death in a humane and dignified manner."
-- The proposed law would require the patient ... to orally communicate to a physician on two occasions, 15 days apart, the patient's request for the medication. At the time of the second request, the physician would have to offer the patient an opportunity to rescind the request.
-- The patient would also have to sign a standard form, in the presence of two witnesses, one of whom is not a relative, a beneficiary of the patient's estate, or an owner, operator, or employee of a health care facility where the patient receives treatment or lives.
-- The proposed law would make it punishable by imprisonment and/or fines, for anyone to (1) coerce a patient to request medication, (2) forge a request, or (3) conceal a rescission of a request.
-- The proposed law would not authorize ending a patient's life by lethal injection, active euthanasia, or mercy killing.
-- The death certificate would list the underlying terminal disease as the cause of death.
-- A person's decision to make or rescind a request could not be restricted by will or contract made on or after January 1, 2013, and could not be considered in issuing, or setting the rates for, insurance policies or annuities.
-- The proposed law would require the attending physician to report each case in which life-ending medication is dispensed to the state Department of Public Health. The Department would provide public access to statistical data compiled from the reports.

How To Secure WLANs: A Visual Overview
Find the Rogues
Client authentication and encryption are only part of the enterprise wireless security story. The ability to identify and neutralize self-installed "rogue" wireless access points is also important, as they can be nuisance devices or sources of critical data leakage. Each WLAN vendor detects rogue APs differently, so this is one area to pay attention to when shopping for a system.

The Election—I
Michael Tomasky
Mitt Romney's clear win in the first debate shifted the momentum in the race and arrested the talk of his campaign's incompetence. But the most interesting aspect of his performance—completely unexpected by observers, pretty obviously including the president—was the way Romney appeared to position himself as a moderate, contradicting the main positions he'd taken for the previous sixteen or so months of campaigning.
This abrupt shift on his part emphasized, to me, the central fact of this election: that the Republican Party is—has made itself into—a party that is (in all likelihood) too far to the right to win national elections. Romney demonstrated at the debate that he understands this, and that the only way for him to avoid the drubbing he saw coming is by running away from the party and denying its agenda of tax cuts, deregulation, decimation of the domestic budget, and global belligerence. The big question of the campaign's final weeks is whether he can continue to pull this off.
During Romney's September swoon, when he lost ground to the president in key states owing to a series of large and small errors, blame was laid on his campaign. But as I've argued in The Daily Beast and elsewhere, the core problem hasn't been his team, or his oft-noted lack of charisma. It's the Republican Party's radicalism and the endless gauntlet of litmus tests its factions have forced Romney to pass. Consider: Romney's biggest blunder in September was revealed by David Corn of Mother Jones, in the form of the now famous video, that Romney believes 47 percent of Americans to be in essence freeloaders. If he does lose this race, that event will have been decisive.
This was commonly called a Romney error or miscalculation. But in fact it was just the opposite. Romney's remarks were carefully calibrated to reassure two key conservative factions that he shares their view of the world and would enforce it as president. To the rich donors to whom he was speaking in Boca Raton, he clearly felt he had to pick up and develop the theme about the people who pay no income taxes, an argument that sprang to life on The Wall Street Journal's editorial page in 2002 and has subsequently taken hold as a right-wing article of faith via Fox News, talk radio, and the many we-hate-liberals books that roll off the conservative presses. Every step of the way, Romney had made a show of placating these factions.
As a result of this insistent fanati-cism, Republicans—the right-wing base and the tremulous politicians who live in fear of it—have minimized their own chances in a number of states, representing a large chunk of electoral votes, where the party was once dominant at the presidential level but where it's now struggling to scratch out narrow wins. Notable among these are Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado (now totaling forty electoral votes). They tightened up after the first debate—Ohio less so than the other two—but the fact remains that they are states the GOP once won with little effort. Going farther back, to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush's time, Republicans were winning states where the idea of them investing even a dime today seems laughable: New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, and the biggest prize of all, California.
This didn't just happen. While these states were moving to the left demographically—with more nonwhite voters and more white, progressive-minded, information-age professionals—the GOP was pushing farther and farther to the right, antagonizing and alarming both groups. The electoral effect is that today, the built-in Democratic advantage in the electoral college among states that aren't contested is thirty votes. That is, virtually any Democratic nominee is assured of 221 electoral votes, while a generic Republican is assured of just 191.
My tally of 221 excludes Michigan and Wisconsin, a combined twenty-six electoral votes, simply because the Republicans are trying to contest those states this year. But they've both gone Democratic for many elections now (Michigan since 1992, Wisconsin since 1988). Some polls showed that the race became closer in these states after the first debate, but nearly all experts continued to rate them as at least "leaning Obama." In sum, then, the Democrats are quadrennial favorites in states totaling 247—just twenty-three short of the needed 270.
What Romney managed at the first debate was that he at once distanced himself from GOP extremism and won the extremists' approval while doing so, because what mattered to them was that he pummeled Obama so thoroughly. The right-wing base, which has demanded purity up to this point, will now probably let him say whatever he needs to say to win. The Democrats' job is to remind voters of the pre- debate Romney.
Of course politics doesn't end with an election result. Indeed, that's when it all begins again. If Obama wins, we will see a battle within the Republican Party the likes of which we've not witnessed in modern history. Many will note that Romney's eleventh-hour attempt at moderation failed. Did we lose, they will ask, because Romney was a squish—someone who never truly was a conservative, never really believed; or have we perhaps gone off the deep end?
Most of them will decide that it's the former. William Kristol pined in mid-September for "the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve," referring to Florida Senator Marco Rubio, and most conservatives will take the view that the defeat was Romney's, not the party's, because he wasn't a real conservative. But there will be a few who will, however quietly and sheepishly, push the alternative view. Jeb Bush, who undoubtedly knows the electoral math I laid out above and who is surely hoping that his last name does not by 2016 carry the baggage it does now, will probably become the de facto leader of this tendency. He said on Meet the Press the Sunday before the Republican convention was gaveled to order: "This is going to be a close election, but long-term, conservative principles, if they're to be successful and implemented, there has to be a concerted effort to reach out to a much broader audience than we do today."
With the next presidential election four years away, the forum in which all this will be immediately contested—and closely watched—is Congress, in its relations with Obama. Assume, as polls now suggest, that the Republicans will retain control of the House and add seats in the Senate, though not enough to capture the majority. Will they be willing to cut a deal with Obama in advance of the January 1 deadline for the expiration of the Bush tax rates and the beginning of the harsh cuts to all domestic and defense programs? That is, will they agree to a tax increase on the upper brackets in order to consummate a "grand bargain" on spending, taxes, and the deficit?
Whatever the Republicans in Congress decide to do, the intraparty war will continue. We can already project forward to the likely roster of GOP candidates who will strive for the party's nomination next time if Romney loses: Paul Ryan, Bush, Rubio, and Chris Christie in the top tier; Sarah Palin leading an unlikely second echelon that might also include Mike Huckabee, South Carolina Senator and Tea Party favorite Jim DeMint, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, grabbing the reins from his father, and others. Six of those eight are hard right. The GOP will probably need to experience one more drubbing—at the hands, possibly, of no less an enemy than Hillary Clinton—to get the message.
And if Romney wins, which Romney will govern? It seems reasonable to assume it will be the one who campaigned for sixteen months and not just for one.

So, my pride and joy has been thriving for almost 5 months now - and that's why it's my pride and joy, lol! However, I have noticed recently that the new set of blooms it's giving off has a full bud with in a bud. I am currently about to head to work but I will post a picture when I return home.
Literally, it looks like another bloom is blooming within it. Is this normal or should I pinch? It's also getting very, very leggy and while I don't mind the way it looks, I don't know WHY it got so leggy! |

Hmm, guess I'll have to wait until you post a pic. There are some Kalanchoe blossfeldiana with double blooms called 'Calandiva'-in several colors. (link to some below) To me, they look like mini Roses. Did they bloom before & not look like this? About the legginess...usually this occurs when the plant isn't getting enough light. Where is it located (in house/outside/near a window, etc.)? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Kalanchoe 'Calandiva'
Thanks for the reply. :) 1) That looks a LOT like my plant! It blooms in a nice deep pink. Has been since I got it in September. 2) It's VERY leggy since I put it on my east-facing sill. (Those are the only windows I have since I live in a rowhome apartment.) A good 3-4" of leg! I give it a quarter turn every watering but they just keep getting leggier. :( I will post a photo when I get home - I should have taken one this morning. I hope it's normal and I'm not just imagining things. |
- Posted by rosemariero6 z10 /ss24 So. Calif. (My Page) on Fri, Feb 24, 12 at 20:09
Well...that IS odd...but I think it's neat! Nothing to worry about. I do believe it is one of the 'Calandiva' types. |
