Your first date couldn't have gone better: The conversation with "Sally" from IT never turned awkward -- it happens you share a passion for The Princess Bride -- and then came the check. Like a relic of some by-gone era, you threw down a coupon along with your stack of greenbacks.
As if struck by a bolt of cut-rate lightning, Sally thanks you icily for dinner and excuses herself -- never to be seen again.
Sally's reaction is in line with many Americans, both single and committed. According to data collected by CouponSherpa.com, women are nearly twice as likely to believe using a coupon on the first date is tacky. For example, 30-year-old Maisie, a married professional and survey participant, interpreted it as a guy slyly claiming, "You're not worth the full price of dinner."
As with any blossoming relationship, there apparently are no mulligans for a first impression.
"Number one: Don't use a coupon on your first date," says Paul Falzone, CEO of the Massachusetts-based dating service eLove. "It's important you come out to that first date on the right foot. Being frugal initially with your money means you're less likely to be generous with your time, affection and emotion."
Experts from around the country agree with Falzone, a 20-year veteran of the dating industry. Many believe the tiny yet telling act of coupon clipping with a first date is often freaky, tasteless and reminiscent of mom.
"Younger people don't look at coupons as lovingly as the older generation," Falzone says. "My wife is six years younger than me and she's never even heard of a coupon."
Tacky vs. Thrifty: Overall Response (70 participants)
The Coupon Sherpa survey addressed this coupon conundrum directly, asking 70 people of all ages and levels of commitment whether they thought using a coupon during the first date was tacky or thrifty. Although twice as many women thought using a coupon was a sign of tackiness, the overall numbers show an almost even split: 35 people claimed coupons were always tacky; 29 called them thrifty; and six believed clipping can go both ways.
Showcasing the importance of a stellar initial impression, 47-year-old professional Tina responded first-date frugality was, "A sign he'll be a pain in the ass and monitor all your spending if you're ever in a relationship together."
While other folks echoed Tina's concern, calling it everything from "trashy" and "cheap" to "ballsy," one man believes being open with coupons debunks what he considers a monetary myth: "Despite popular belief, not all men are super controlling with money," says Tony, a 24-year-old.
Guy Asks Girl...Still
The coupon question is more appropriate now than ever. At a time when printable restaurant coupons and group-buying sites are both trendy and attractive to all ages, dating is still a frugal frontier. It remains one of the most stereotypically expensive activities on many people's social palate. All first-date advice from movies, books and nosy friends screams: "If you want to impress the girl, do it with your wallet!"
Why say impress the girl? Because, by and large, the archetype of man as provider translates easily into the 21st century. A 2007 survey by It's Just Lunch, a dating agency for professionals, found half of all U.S. men spend over $100 per month on dates, while more than two-thirds of women spend less than $50.
"There's huge value for coupons, but there's a time and a place," Falzone says. "You don't have to go to the Ritz, but for the $5 you might save with a coupon, is it going to be admirable? A lot of women feel they're worth it. And they really are."
Participants in the Coupon Sherpa survey tended to agree, but not without some noticeable caveats, particularly between X and Y chromosomes. Guys were more inclined to find using a coupon acceptable, though it didn't stop 40-year-old photographer Pat from posing a date-killing scenario: "Did he pull out a two-for-one coupon and say, 'Here's my half?'"
Tacky vs. Thrifty: Difference Between Males and Females
The key, as many respondents noted, is in the situation. Several mentioned a coupon would be more easy to overlook at an expensive, upscale restaurant as opposed to Chili's or, heaven forbid, McDonalds. Jeremy, a 22-year-old student, says it depends on how well you know the person, but "on a true first date it's a bit tacky."
If your date doesn't catch the frugal slight-of-hand, it's no harm, no foul. Just excuse yourself and slip it to the server, Harry Houdini-style. Tori, a 22-year-old student, says it's "tacky if I notice, thrifty if he can do it without me noticing." A 45-year-old radio DJ, James, agrees: "Tip big, slip the coupon in while she's not looking and bam! Done and done."
As for others in the over-30 set, Falzone's sense that coupons are viewed more kindly by older generations is less than straightforward. The responses were almost evenly split between freaky and frugal. Jean, a 60-year-old writer, believes, "it depends on the (amount) due, the restaurant and the coupon," while John, a 42-year-old professional, questions the first date connection, asking, "Why is it only tacky on the first date? Wouldn't it be tacky all the time if it was once?"
Despite initial reactions, both sides of the coupon crowd would concede to someone who used coupons as long as they waited until the third or fourth date. In heart-warming defense of personality over pocketbook, respondents were more concerned with the actual date -- surprise surprise -- than they were with a crumpled piece of paper. Jen, a 21-year-old student, sums up the argument saying, "If you're so high maintenance you can't appreciate a man looking to save a few bucks, that's your problem, not his."
Money, Your Mate and a Good First Date
There's some promise for eligible penny-pinchers. A recent survey by ING Direct, the banking and investment firm, asked 1,000 men and women what comes to mind when a first date is described as frugal. A healthy 49 percent described this potential partner as "smart," perhaps a sign our money-weary times are taking a toll. At the same time, only 3.7 percent thought "sexy," while a combined 42 percent predicted the same smart person to be "boring" or "stingy."
"We're in a recession and people are looking for deals everywhere," says Thomas Edwards, a Boston dating maven whose advice has been featured by CNN, Maxim and The Wall Street Journal. "We don't necessarily think about that when we're dating. It's not just an emotional investment, but an economical one as well. Dating is expensive."
Numbers and knee-jerk first impressions aside, the tango between coupons and dating is more complicated than frugal or freaky. The first date is always a harrowing experience, and most professionals agree the traditional route of dinner and a movie -- two activities reliant on money -- is not impressive. At best, it's stale and predictable. At worst, it conjures up cash-colored demons.
"Coupons aren't the real issue," says Jordan Harbinger, co-founder of the dating consultant business Art of Charm. "Having any sort of monetary tension distracts from the mood. Money is one of the best ways to introduce tension in any relationship, whether it be friends, family or people who've been married for 50 years."
Harbinger notices early daters often "screen" each other by scoping for red flags. If a date playfully ribs you for using a coupon, chances are there's no threat to your frugal nature. On the flip side, barely-restrained disgust means a prospective sweetheart likely questions the worth of your wallet -- and always will.
Let's replay the workplace dating scenario from the beginning of this article. Rather than ask Sally from IT to dinner at an Italian restaurant -- a passé move, as nearly half of all Americans choose a pasta joint for the first date -- why not venture off the beaten dating path and introduce a touch of swagger into the evening?
Harbinger opposes clichéd haunts like cafes and coffee shops, preferring to invite dates on activities he already had planned, whether it be a stroll with the pooch or a ballgame with friends. Such impromptu first dates offer a chance for freshness and spontaneity while erasing the awkward tension of a sit-down meal, Harbinger claims.
In a similar vein, Edwards recommends matching the date to the season. Towns of every size plan concerts, museum showings and civic activities based on the time of year. Think here of Oktoberfests, ice skating or summer Shakespeare performances. No matter where Edwards is, he hits the books by researching local city websites, a valuable font of ideas for free and off-the-beaten-path first-date ideas.
Another burgeoning resource for tech-savvy deal-diggers, the group-buying phenomenon has made bargaining cool once again. Groupon, Living Social and similar outfits often feature locally-owned and occasionally quirky businesses, most of which remain off the radar until featured online. Even if you don't cough up cash for the daily deal, a group-buying coupon could spark ideas for future dates. The most popular entertainment Groupon so far was a half-priced ticket for an architectural boat tour in Chicago, hard proof the dating landscape is more lush than the local Olive Garden.
"Think of it logically -- who would forgo a deal on an item if they're afraid of being cheap?" Edwards says. "You still have it and she'll be happy you thought of her when you bought it."
The Verdict
A first date is uncharted territory, no matter how many you've been on. An evening with Sally from IT is probably not your first rodeo. Rather, it's a chance to forgo spaghetti and garlic bread for more unexpected alternatives. Whether that involves coupons or not is your choice, but dating experts and expert daters know any successful first get-together is more about the person than the paper.
"Money is a small hurdle. The bottom line is 'What's your endgame?'" Falzone says. "Do you look for a serious relationship? If a coupon is who you are and you're open, hopefully they will understand. Just be creative and listen to what the person is telling you."
ladyB says:
I'm in my forties and I just celebrated a birthday, on my birthday my "friend" for more than 3 months took me to breakfast and dinner and used coupons. I feel if this was not a special occasion it would be ok, but using it for both meals I just think is cheap!

great information,and good points.
Phil says:
@KH All great and valid points. Where people lie on this spectrum varies so widely it's difficult to find one hard and fast rule, but I see your reasoning. For some, shame about couponing could come from being hyper-aware of money and status. Many of the experts I talked to for this story were in their 20's or 30's, something that could've skewed their views, but they all agreed any sort of monetary tension can ruin a potential relationship. If using a coupon is one way to relieve that tension, go for it. Who knows, your thriftiness could make for a topic of conversation.
KH says:
*Swoon* Maybe it is tacky, but hear me out on this: Using a coupon indicates resourcefulness and practicality, and those are fine qualities in a mate. In my mind, there is no shame in using what's available to get a good thing at the best price. I think coupons are a smart way to enjoy a budget splurge. If you're talking about a nice dinner out, I personally would put that in the budget splurge category. I believe there's a statistic out there that says half of divorces are the result of financial problems, so a demonstration of smart financial practices is romantic in its own way. Plus, how a person treats you on a date is much more important than how much they spend. I use Living Social and Twongo, and also have a Citipass book, and I've enjoyed meals in many nice, date-appropriate restaurants for the price of a Panera lunch. This reasoning does not apply to a date who tries to take you to McDonald's for bogo Big Macs. Some restaurants just fall in the category of trash food, and I think choosing one of those places for a date shows a lack of respect, for yourself and for your date. Furthermore, I don't see the point of quibbling over whether it's tacky just on the first date, or if your date sees you use a coupon. On the extreme end of this argument, I'd say shame over using coupons indicates the problems of our debt-ridden culture, where people put entirely too much money they don't truly have to spend into things that offer no investment, like cars and weddings. I feel like it's going to sound like a dude wrote this, but I'm a lady.

Mail coupons like valpak have really bad stigma but using an online group deals like from Livingsocial.com don't have that stigma because they're so popular right now and the classy places run deals with them.

Comic books, graphic novels, whatever you want to call them -- it was a very good year for characters new and old, for revitalizing creaky concepts and republishing some classics.
Best Miniseries
Dr. Strange: The Oath (Marvel)
Protean writer Brian K. Vaughan, who freely professed to have disliked this circa-1960s supernatural superhero, didn't demolish the character of Dr. Stephen Strange. Instead, he did what he does in the other comics he writes, such as Runaways and Y: The Last Man he made Strange talk like a regular human, and gave him regular human emotions of doubt, confusion, and anger. The result was a funny, likable, unexpectedly emotional series.

2010 Toyota Camry
The 2009s have been out for a few months and the updated 2010 model may be here in less than a year. They current style hasn't been updated since it was introduced in 2006 and is due for a styling update in the next model year.
Is there any news or rumors on the 2010 Toyota Camry yet?
Maybe a new 4 cylinder engine, standard stability control, interior and exterior updates, better nav system etc.?

jaxs1 Posts: 2,697No, it should be completely replaced by the 2012 model, but updated for 2010.
They almost always make an update by the 4th model year. How "major" it is varies, but is generally a lot more than just new paint colors. The 2010 will be the fourth year of this body style.
Look at the 2005 Camry vs the 2002-2004 models.
The absolute minimum you can expect is standard VSA on most if not all models and a minor styling update (maybe new grill, headlights, tail lights etc.).
Maybe they will update or replace the 2.4 liter engine that's kind of old and address some complaints about interior quality.
The 2010 will probably be released earlier than average next year otherwise there was no point in making the 2008 Camry model year extremely short and releasing the 2009 Camry so early this year when there were no changes between 2008 and 2009 models.
I could see them adding some features seen on the 2009 Corolla such as pre-wiring the satellite radio antenna from the factory and making XM standard with the JBL.
There are also lots of complaints about the nav system being substandard vs the Honda's because there is little you or the front passenger can do with it while the car is in motion (even with the voice commands). -
motownusa Posts: 836The upcoming Venza will get an all new 2.7L I4 engine pumping out around 190 to 200 HP. My bet is the next generation Camry will get this as the base engine. I don't think the 2010 will get the 2.7 liter engine although it is possible they will tweak the current 4 cylinder to produce an extra 10 hp or so to keep it competitive with the competition's 4 cylinder engine. The most likely change for the 10 model will be some cosmetic appearance change.
cubssoxs Posts: 139Yea, I don' believe they will make any major changes besides refreshing the headlights or tail light and the grill. Compare the 94 to 95 camry, or the 99 to 00 camry, or the 04 to 05 camry. All of they major changes are very minor. They may make some things standard like VSC. Also, as I said early some minor cosmetic changes.
kdhspyder Posts: 7,160... the platform's and the engines generally have 10 yr lives.
92-01 vehicles were about the same size
02-11 vehicles will all be about the same size
However with the lukewarm reception to the Accord's size increase ( almost Avalon ) I wonder if Toyota will grow the Camry any further. I hope not.
2.2L I4 ran from 92 to 01
3.0L V6 ran from ?? to 06 ( the 3.3L was a modified 3.0L )
2.4L I4 should run from 02 to 11
3.5L V6 should run from 07 to 16
These would be the SOP runs. The Venza with the 2.7L will be out as an 09 but I'd guess the Camry keeps the 2.4L through MY 2011. It makes the Venza that much more attractive. It sets it apart. Valvematic additions across the board are likely additions in all models at that time frame.
Then there's the THS 3 options. -
jaxs1 Posts: 2,697It's still possible they could add the 2.7 for 2010 as long as they're building it for the Venza anyway especial if it would get the same or better fuel economy.
People thought they wouldn't put the 3.5 in the Camry since the competition was only using 3 liter engines and so the Avalon could be further differentiated, but they were surprised when that engine did appear in the 2007 Camry. -
motownusa Posts: 836Is it an optical illusion or does the 2007 + Camry looks smaller than the 2002-2006 Camry? I don't think Toyota will increase the size of the next gen. Camry. My 2003 is about as big a car as I and probably most people need and want a mid size car to be. And given high gas prices I would imagine improving fuel efficiency would be a greater priority than increasing size or power.
kdhspyder Posts: 7,160Yes it is an optical illusion that this Gen seems smaller than the previous Gen. Actually they are exactly the same size. I think the curvy lines makes it seem smaller.
I agree about the size. I think it's as big as it should get especially since the Avalon is already larger. It's due for something significant but just what I can't imagine other than the 2.7L and a sheetmetal overhaul. -
mackabee Posts: 4,709
jaxs1 Posts: 2,697I think they could replace the 2.4 four cylinder with 5-speed automatic with the 2.7 with a CVT like the one already being used for the Camry Hybrid.
That could give better performance without hurting fuel economy. Maybe it would even add an mpg or 2.
It might be a bit much of a change for the 2010 MMC, but not impossible. I would definitely expect this by the 2012 fully redesigned Camry though. -
jaxs1 Posts: 2,697One thing they should do is update the interior with better quality.
At this point the 2008 Accord and 2009 Sonata have interiors that seem to be better quality. The Malibu has a some cheap interior parts, but is still overall slightly nicer quality in the interior than the current Camry.
If they did an upgrade in quality on 2010s similar to you Hyundai upgraded the 09's interiors, that would make the Camry a bit more attractive even with few "new" features for 2010. They need to spend a bit more care making sure trim pieces fit together properly and are padded to prevent rattles. -
saidiadude Posts: 49Ideally, I'd like to see the following for the 2010 model. Most of these changes are reasonably easy to implement (except perhaps for 2.7L engine and C pillar blind spot). Of course, keeping cost down will be an issue.
- Leave the 2.4L in the 4cyl models (except SE 4cyl) and improve gas mileage (instead of bumping up hp/torque)
- 4 cyl SE: use the larger engine 2.7L engine
- 4 cyl LE: make alloy rims standard
- 4/6 cyl SE - make sun/moonroof + spoiler standard
- 6 cyl - improve gas mileage (instead of bumping up hp/torque)
- Interiors: change the ugly plastic "silver" to stainless steel or aluminum or similar
- Please Please Please fix the blind spot caused by the passenger side rear C pillar!
- LED brake lights for all models
- Keyless ignition on all models
- VSC on all models -
lauf Posts: 6I do think horsepower should be raised w/o compromising fuel economy. The four cylinders especially need a raise in horsepower. I don't think making rims on the LE will happen perhaps better looking wheel covers and making rims standard on the LE V6 models. I think it would be smart for Toyota to offer what Honda has offered on the Accord the LX-P model. I see the new 2008 Accord with the LX-P as the mainstream model. I haven't seen any LX models driving around except sitting in dealer lots where I live. Perhaps if Toyota makes this move it'll be a smart choice considering the LX-P Accord is.
I would really like to see interior quality improved.
*More cupholders even the new Corolla has eight now including door pockets.
*Silver color interior to be changed to a darker silver with more detail such as aluminum. (The Accord in other countries has the matte black steel look which I think looks appealing.)
*Perhaps a little 2.5 inch screen displaying rearview when backing out. (New Highlander and future facelifted Tacoma have it.)
*LED tailights I noticed just about every facelift from Toyota now includes LED tailights.
*Get rid of those nasty seatback plastic pockets that just screams GM cheapness!!! My old 06 Camry had nice cloth seatback pockets.
*Active front headrests the Camry would be rated above the Accord for safety if it only had this useful safety feature.
*Better seat fabrics in the CE and LE something more modern and appealing looking. I like that fraichir material in the XLE but I guess that's too expensive to produce.
*XLE V6 with cloth should be reintroduced not many people like leather. And i'm sure itll sell well with that fraichir material. -
seatoyotasales Posts: 36Just saw some of the changes going in place for the 2010 Camry and although I can't remember them all right now, here are the highlights.
NEW 180HP 2.5 4 Cyl engine mated to a 6 speed automatic.
New rear tail lights (probably LED's) front grill and headlights.
Smart key available on more models including the SE
Two new colors, a green and a tan/beige
New wheel designs
XM radio standard on JBL sound systems.
Active Headrests standard.
Production to begin in Feb 09 -
seatoyotasales Posts: 36
wwest Posts: 10,706"NEW 180HP 2.5 4 Cyl engine mated to a 6 speed automatic."
The big news here is NOT the engine but the fact that someone has figured out that a 6 speed transmission mated to a 4 Cyl is better optimization relatively than with a 6 Cyl.
Makes me almost want to move to Tucson so I could own/drive a Camry with reasonable safety. -
saidiadude Posts: 49
seatoyotasales Posts: 36No idea about gas mileage. I was too excited just watching for all the upcoming changes. I wish they would change up the colors a bit more including a darker blue and a different red other than Barcelona Red. But the other changes I mentioned are enough to keep a lot of people happy!
saidiadude Posts: 49I agree about the Barcelona Red - they need a deep dark red instead of the Barcelona Red. The other changes are very exciting, especially the 6spd auto trans. I assume this is the same transmission that is used in the Lexus lineup. Anyone know of the reliability of this tranny? The older 5 speed is very reliable when mated with the 4cyl - not so much with the V6.
saidiadude Posts: 49
seatoyotasales Posts: 36
saidiadude Posts: 49Glad to hear that VSC will be standard. The Camry is getting better and better. I hope the new 4cyl+6spd auto will offer 40+ mpg. Too bad about the C pillar blind spot. Hopefully the interior plastic will be upgraded as well. The "silver" plastic around the radio looks and feels very cheap. My mom has a 2007 LE auto and is very happy with it.
We drove the Accord and were not impressed. Accord was smaller, louder engine, more road noise and noisy front shock/absorber system. It creaked over speed bumps at very low speed! -

I tried all the programs available online for my 32GB 3GS iREB and iRecovery and another called DFU. I can successfully get my phone to DFU mode but error 1600 or 1604 keeps popping up I tried everything above on several computers with several OS's VISTA/7/XP always the same error.
Anyone has a method to get the white or red screen for iPhone 3GS? I had 3.1.2 jailbroken and unlocked with the old 4 version of BB.
I would appreciate any help provided!!!

The issue is I can't get into Recovery mode anymore I'm stuck in DFU! nothing else responds!

i hav tried everything that given here but my iphone wont stop giving the error 1604/1603.
i started ireb after entering dfu mode but it wont show me the red screen or the white screen and ireb wont crash before restoring. pls help me.....

Posted 29 June 2010 - 02:39 AM
setenv auto-boot true
These tools whether it's IREB, RECBOOT or other attempt to automate this process. If you can't get them to work then you most likely have libusb issues. I posted a link to a great youtube guide/video at http://xsellize.com/...windows-64-bit/
I suspect most users having issues are having the problem with libusb since it doesn't like 64 bit OS'es. Follow the guide I linked to and get the tools and you'll be a recovery loop master.

Step 1- put iphone in dfu mode
[How to put your iPhone in DFU mode :
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Turn iPhone off.
Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).

Housing Information
AUM Campus
If you prefer to live on-campus and participate in Seamless, there are spots available for Seamless students on the Montgomery campus. Living on-campus provides a great opportunity for students to generate a close community of friends, form study groups and live out a well-connected campus experience. If you are taking classes on the Montgomery campus and live more than 20 miles from AUM it is highly recommended that you live on AUMs campus. For more information on AUM Housing and Residence Life, click here. Additionally, Seamless is proud to offer a Seamless Living Learning Community. This community will be composed exclusively of Seamless students who live in the residence halls together, take classes together and participate in many co-curricular activities together. This is a great way for students to become familiar with AUMs campus as well as meet new friends.
Auburn Campus
Unfortunately, we will be unable to offer on-campus housing for those students opting to participate in the Seamless program on the Auburn campus. Currently all students in the program at Auburn live in off-campus housing options. Many off-campus apartment buildings are within walking distance to campus, however, if you choose to live farther away, Tiger Transit (campus bus service) is available at many off-campus housing locations as well. Student parking is also available on-campus for a fee.
Additional information regarding off-campus housing options in Auburn can be found here or by visiting www.auburnapartmentguide.com. If you have any questions regarding different types of off-campus student housing options or would like more information regarding local rental agencies, please contact the Auburn Chamber of Commerce at 334-887-7011 or visit them online at www.auburnchamber.com.

Ex-Gay Pastor Matthew C. Manning's Troubling Criminal Record
Ex-Gay Watch's investigation into Pastor Matthew C. Manning has failed to find evidence for his miraculous healing claims. But more disturbingly, it has revealed a history of accusations, charges and at least one plea of no contest for sexual offenses.
Matthew C. Manning is the founder and president of Lighthouse World Evangelism Inc (LHWE) in Santa Rosa, California. An earlier version of his website describes him this way:
Matthew was delivered from homosexuality in 1989 and miraculously healed from HIV/AIDS in 1994. Matthew's experience not only enables him to minister effectively to those seeking deliverance from homosexuality, but to all people seeking to know Jesus Christ in a deeper way.
Ex-Gay Watch reported briefly on Manning in 2003 when Mike Airhart mentioned the claims of healing from AIDS/HIV and his difficulty in obtaining any official documentation to verify those claims. Some months later, a comment was left on both posts by the "Legal Department of LightHouse World Evangelism Inc" protesting Airhart's observations, but providing no new facts.
Since that time, LHWE has released a long promised DVD, my eyes see You, which claims to depict the story of Manning's miraculous deliverance and healing, including a dramatic attempt on his life by a man Manning says he later prayed with in a prison ministry (and who has supposedly since died of AIDS related infections). A preview of the DVD is available, while a "free" copy can be obtained for a $30 donation.
Matthew C. Manning and Exodus President Alan Chambers in 2007
Manning has also appeared on numerous Christian broadcasts, including at least five episodes of The Joni Show, at various times alongside Exodus President Alan Chambers, former ex-gay spokesman John Paulk, and Focus on the Family ex-gay speaker Mike Haley. More than any other factor, however, an early CBN 700 Club broadcast (video) featuring Manning's story seems to have made him known to a larger audience. Nearly every person with whom we talked acknowledged that they discovered Manning from that single show. It was originally broadcast on June 25, 2002, and then offered by CBN for a donation of $20.
We made a dedicated search to confirm the key elements of Manning's story. To date we have found nothing that would accomplish this. Certainly Manning must realize that incredible claims of this type require equally incredible proof — nothing short of a complete and open medical study would seem warranted. We are open to any new facts or leads, and even sent an email to manning days before this post to ask if he had anything to add to the discussion. He has not replied but we have other requests outstanding.
During our search, we did find some public documents concerning Manning, and we spoke with some people who have had contact with him. The picture that has emerged from these findings convinced us that reporting to our readers was the only responsible action left. This decision came after much counsel and reflection, and we believe everything that follows is well supported by the public record.
Charges in 1998
On February 24, 1998, charges were filed with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles at the San Fernando Courthouse, accusing Manning of one count of violating CA Penal Code 647(a),
Who solicits anyone to engage in or who engages in lewd or dissolute conduct in any public place or in any place open to the public or exposed to public view.
and one count of violating CA Penal Code 602(P).
Entering upon any lands declared closed to entry as provided in Section 4256 of the Public Resources Code, if the closed areas shall have been posted with notices declaring the closure, at intervals not greater than one mile along the exterior boundaries or along roads and trails passing through the lands.
We will learn from the summary of a future jury trial (next) that there was an incident in 1998 involving Manning and an officer Martinez at Hansen Dam. Keeping in mind the second count, it may be worth noting that Hansen Dam has a public park and a series of walking trails. These charges are listed as being "dismissed or not prosecuted."
Charges in 2000
On August 30, 2000, a complaint was filed with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, accusing Manning of one count of violating CA Penal Code 647(a).
Who solicits anyone to engage in or who engages in lewd or dissolute conduct in any public place or in any place open to the public or exposed to public view.
An arrest warrant on that charge was issued a day later through the North Hollywood area LAPD. It isn't clear what happened in between, but on March 9, 2001, private attorney Jeffrey Cohen pleaded "not guilty" on Manning's behalf as he was not present. The record notes that a bench warrant was recalled at that time, but we do not know why it was issued, or if it was the original warrant. The record is abbreviated, not a full transcript. Also unknown at this time is why the incident for which Manning is charged is listed as occurring almost three months prior (June 6, 2000).
Manning chose trial by jury and eventually spent about a week in those proceedings. During that time there were references to a prior incident in 1998 with an officer Martinez at Hansen Dam (discussed above). It is important to note that Manning's counsel apparently wanted to entertain testimony from a defense witness, Jhayne Eddy, to discredit Martinez. The judge found this line of testimony essentially without merit, but also forbid the people from cross examining on the earlier incident. Jhayne Eddy appears to be another attorney in that area and we can speculate that he was the attorney representing Manning in the 1998 incident, though we don't yet have those records to be sure.
The trial was short but lively, with the people at one point asking the judge to rule on possible charges of jury tampering by Manning, both inside and outside the courtroom. We don't have an account of what was said or done to prompt this, but the judge decided that the jury had not been tainted and carried on with the trial. In the end, the jury acquitted Manning on the single count of the indictment, and that was that.
Charges in 2005
On September 2, 2005, a complaint was filed with the Superior Court of California, County of Sonoma, accusing Manning of one count of violating CA Penal Code 243.4(e)(1).
Any person who touches an intimate part of another person, if the touching is against the will of the person touched, and is for the specific purpose of sexual arousal, sexual gratification, or sexual abuse, is guilty of misdemeanor sexual battery, punishable by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars ($2,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months, or by both that fine and imprisonment.
The complainant is listed as "John Doe" but we have since determined his identity. He was approx 22 years old at the time, and still lives in the area. We have contacted him and may provide his personal account at a later date if he allows it. He appears understandably reticent concerning such a personal matter. We should note that he identifies as straight.
No jury trial this time. On November 30, 2005, again represented by Jeffrey Cohen, Manning pleaded "No Contest" to a single count of violating CA Penal Code 647(a), a lesser count and the same he was charged with in 2000. He also escaped a listing on the sexual offender registry. The record does not specify whether or not adjudication was withheld, but such plea agreements are not uncommon for this type of offense because the victim is often reluctant to make the issue public. We understand that, in California, if one adheres to the conditions of such an agreement, adjudication is often withheld. However, it is not clear if that is the case with this type of crime.
Some of the other stipulations, one in particular, may provide a clue as to the nature of the incident. Manning was ordered to stay away from the victim for one year, but he was also ordered to stay away from one of the the 24 Hour Fitness locations in Santa Rosa for the same length of time. It seems reasonable to conclude that the "lewd act" occurred there, though we can't yet state this as fact.
More information from our research will be presented in a separate post in the next couple of days. Until then, we would like to assure anyone who might have had their own experience with Manning that they may contact us safe in the knowledge that their confidentiality will be respected. You may contact this writer at email@example.com with any pertinent information.

Some entertainment and sports celebrities, along with some business leaders, have signed a letter asking President Obama to support gay marriage, according to The New York-based group Freedom to Marry.
Among those who signed the petition were actors Anne Hathaway, Martin Sheen and Jane Lynch as well as NFL linebacker Scott Fujita and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey.
The president, who supports civil unions as a same-sex marriage alternative, has said that his views on the subject are "evolving."
His administration recently announced that it would no longer defend the federal law barring government recognition of same-sex unions.
The group said several couples will deliver the letter to the White House in the spring.

Phil Clem was honored – and the subject of some good-natured kidding – at the Hot Spring County Medical Foundation's annual toast and roast.

Williams did not have the total earned through the event's ticket sales at press time.

We contacted Sargun who told us, "Yes, an accident will occur but Abhay will save me. But for the what and the how, you'll have to watch the episode."

Hong Kong stocks rose, with the benchmark index headed for its first advance in three days, as banks and insurance companies climbed. Gains were limited after the city doubled taxes on property sales and a survey showed China's manufacturing may expand at a slower pace.
Bank of Communications Co. rose 1.2 percent to pace gains among mainland lenders. Want Want China Holdings Ltd. climbed 2.3 percent after HSBC Holdings Plc recommended investors buy the snack maker's shares. Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd. (16), the city's biggest developer, slid 2.2 percent.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index (HSI) added 0.2 percent to 22,800.54 as of 11 a.m. in Hong Kong. The gauge posted its biggest weekly drop in three months last week on concern the U.S. may rein in stimulus while China take steps to cool its property market.
"While the flash PMI numbers are not as good as the market had expected, it suggests the Chinese economy is still okay," said Linus Yip, chief strategist at First Shanghai Securities in Hong Kong. "We may see a further decline among Hong Kong developers in the short term."
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI) of mainland companies trimmed an advance of as much as 1 percent, adding 0.2 percent to 11,339.30.
The preliminary reading of the Purchasing Managers' Index was 50.4 in February, according to a statement from HSBC and Markit Economics today. That compares with a 52.3 final reading for January and the 52.2 median estimate of 11 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News. A number above 50 indicates expansion.

Summer's gone. Gee, we hardly knew ya'
Hey ya' Gearhead. Well the summer of 2014 came and went just like that. After looking forward to the three favorite months for Gearheads in the Northern Hemisphere, we're suddenly facing fall and winter. While we'll miss the long, warm days of June, July, and August, there are still a good number of weekends ahead with weather well suited to a ride on a favorite motorcycle or drive in a beloved car. If you're a vintage Gearhead like we are, those days can be even more fun and rewarding, with beautiful light, and slightly cooler air suiting old iron a bit more nicely than summer's scalding heat. So get on out there and enjoy fall while you can, because winter's not far away! Stay on the throttle! The Chief Gearhead

469 Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister, to Lord Cranborne, U.K. Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs
Cablegram 317 25 May 1941,
Your telegram No. 230 of 15th May [1] received through the United Kingdom High Commissioner [2] German internees in Netherlands East Indies. Netherlands Minister for Foreign Affairs [3] informed my colleague, the Minister for External Affairs [4], that whilst under no circumstances would any of these internees be set free unconditionally he and the Netherlands authorities were quite prepared to consider an exchange with Dutch business men whose services would be of great value to the East Indies at the present time. He stated that discrimination would be exercised in the release of men who might be dangerous by reason of their special knowledge of local conditions and geography.
It was gathered from the Minister's conversation that he considered that most of the internees would not come within the above category but would be just ordinary business and commercial men. The Minister discounted any suggestion that the Netherlands authorities would be indifferent to their own and the allies' interests and claimed that many Germans had been set at liberty quite unconditionally after internment in Malaya.

Some of the faucet brands I have been looking at online for our master remodel are hard to find in showrooms to check out in person. Jado, Cifial, Riobel are all almost impossible to find locally and showrooms that do carry have only 1 or 2 faucets.
I am really interested in Jado, but was told by one rep that once American Standard acquired them that they are now made in China and not the same quality. From what I read on the following reveiew site (see link below) I though they were still being made in Germany. Anyone purchased Jado recently? Thoughts...good or bad? |

I haven't installed mine yet, so I cannot speak to funcionality or durability. But I think the jado faucets look beautiful. I got mine in the platinum nickel finish. They are very nice and heavy, and nice finish. I also bought hansgrohe and grohe faucets for other rooms. The hansgrohe I found to have more plastic painted parts than the grohe or the jado, which for the models that I purchased were all metal. costwise they were all very comparable. HTH! |
I have all Grohe faucets in my kitchen, baths and laundry room, except for the Jado faucet in my powder room vanity. I admit I bought it primarily for the look, as I think it's gorgeous. It feels solid and we've had no problems with it. My one caveat about it is, I'm not crazy about the way the water flow feels. It's hard to explain, but the water coming out of all our Grohe faucets feels like silk, i.e., like a solid curtain of water that doesn't splash or separate into separate streams as it lands on your hands or in the sink. This Jado faucet has a more "streamy" flow which is more splashy on the hands and sink. I hope that makes sense. It's not a big deal, but it's made me realize how much I prefer Grohes from a purely functional perspective. |

[1492] Pathology of Placental Malaria in Areas of Different Endemicity: A Histologic Grading Scheme
A Muehlenbachs, M Fried, R McGready, TK Mutabingwa, CL Fligner, F Nosten, PE Duffy. University of Washington, Seattle, WA; Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, Seattle; Shoklo Malaria Research Unit, Mae Sot, Thailand; National Institute of Medical Research, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, United Republic of
Background: During placental malaria (PM), Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes sequester in the placenta and cause an inflammatory response that is harmful to the fetus and the mother. The clinical and epidemiologic features of PM differ by transmission intensity. Placental malaria episodes have been histologically classified as acute or chronic. However chronic placental malaria is a broad category that encompasses several distinct features of infection, specifically placental inflammation and malarial pigment deposition.
Design: Using frozen section histology from placentas from Tanzania, we describe a pathologic grading and staging scheme to evaluate inflammation and pigment deposition during placental malaria at delivery (n=91). For comparison, samples from placentas from Karen women on the Thai-Burma border were selected from the small fraction of women known to have had P. falciparum at least 10 days prior to delivery (n=19).
Results: In the Tanzanian cohort, the placental inflammation grade was associated with levels of inflammatory markers at delivery, and the pigment deposition stage was independently associated with birth weight. In the cohort from Thailand, inflammation and pigment deposition were associated with birth weight, and pigment deposition had an inverse trend with the number of antenatal clinic visits. The samples from Thailand had decreased pigment deposition, but similar inflammation scores when compared to samples from Tanzanian first time mothers.
Conclusions: The proposed pathological grading system is simple yet captures increased complexity of PM episodes, suggesting that combining these two measures can improve immunocorrelation for clinical trials across areas of differing endemicity.

Interview between Allan Trench and Tony Featherstone
Tony: Allan, could you explain what is driving the resource boom this time around?
Allan: Three factors stand out: First, the post-GFC economic recovery of the major economies continues. Second, China punches well above its weight on the demand-side of metals markets - and China, along with Australia, weathered the GFC very well. Third, bank lending constraints slowed the progress of new mine supply, which has acted to mitigate the build-up of metal stocks. Indeed, warehouse stocks have been falling in 2010 for industrial metals such as copper and tin, with tighter inventories predicted for 2011. A special additional factor driving the gold market has been the purposeful weakening of the US dollar as a means to kick-start the US economy. A weakening US dollar has seen gold again viewed by markets as a proxy reserve currency that will hold its long-term value.
Tony: How far has the boom come this year? What are the key trends and best areas in which to invest?
Allan: By some measures the 2010 boom remains modest. For example, the bellwether metal of global markets, copper, is up only around 10 per cent since the start of the year. But we are seeing some shifts elsewhere of greater magnitude. Tin is a standout - up around 50 per cent this year and having traded to more than US$27,000 a tonne. Among the minor metals, the rare earth oxides that are used in diverse high-tech applications have received considerable market attention, with year-on-year rises of several hundred percent for the 17 rare elements that, believe it or not, are now becoming well known to investors who are focused upon junior resources. Examples are lanthanum (up 750 per cent since October last year), cerium (up 850 per cent) and samarium (up more than 600 per cent).
Tony: Which sub-sectors within mining are doing the best?
Allan: The juniors as a whole are seeing the benefits more than the majors - reflecting the 2010 trend towards greater risk appetite of investors. Right now, there are many stories among juniors that have seen their share prices increase by more than 100 per cent on a year-on-year basis. Average returns among juniors are more modest of course - and it is hard to be definitive there - but my own estimation sits at around 35 per cent year-on-year (through to mid-October) looking at a basket of more than 60 companies.
That compares to an ASX 200 index that has been flat over the same period and a materials index, which is weighted towards the larger resources companies, having risen around 15 per cent year-on-year. Within the ranks of the juniors, some of the biggest gains have been among selected gold companies, development-stage iron ore companies and copper juniors with exploration upside. Given the strong rise in rare earth metal prices noted earlier, those companies with exposure to rare earth metals exploration are receiving very strong market interest also.
Tony: How is the strength of the Australian dollar affecting the boom?
Allan: Producers with Australian mining operations would prefer a weaker Australian dollar because their revenue is derived from metals markets that trade in US currency. Currency movements always create opportunities, of course. Among winners from the strong Australian dollar are Australian-based resources companies seeking to import mining and processing equipment for projects here. Similarly, Australian companies with overseas operations, where costs are often linked to the US dollar, are winners from that currency weakening.
All that said, many of the recent market gains among junior resources companies have been for explorers rather than producers. These companies are largely immune to exchange rate movements because they do not have cash flows.
Tony: How can investors benefit from the boom and not be hurt by it if some valuations have become stretched?
Allan: It is an old adage, but doing homework in selecting companies is critical, which I realise is far easier said than done given that quality research coverage of junior resources companies remains scarce. My counsel to investors interested in the sector is to attend investment forums and conferences where emerging resources companies present their stories. Many of the companies are very skilled at selling their story, so be wary not to invest in just the first you happen to listen to. Weigh up several presentations before making any decisions.
My present assessment is that the junior resources market is somewhat mixed. By this I mean that several companies have experienced share price runs to the point where valuations have become stretched. As a result, their respective management teams will need to work very hard to deliver market expectations. Also included in this category are those early-stage rare earth metals explorers who have seen their market values jump sharply on the back of preliminary rock chip assays.
Simultaneously, however, there are also junior resources companies that remain attractive when looking at their asset base and which are seemingly ignored by the market. The key, of course, is to identify the shares that are cheap (the relatively easy part), but critically to also spot the future events that will drive a re-rating (the hard part).
The best advice is to do plenty of research or talk to your financial adviser before buying into small and mid-cap resource companies. Returns can be high, but they come with higher risk. Valuation risks for some small-cap explorers are much higher since recent share price gains. Remember that small exploration companies are speculative and may not suit investors with lower tolerance for risk.

I am curious if anyone here has attempted to do all rides in a day. or if anyone has attempted to do as many rides as possible.
August 18th 2006 me and my cousin attempted to do as many rides as possible and we only wound up doing about 30. we could have done more but being the day before we left we did the big rides like ToT and the mountain range at Magic Kingdom a few times.
I would like to know if anyone has tried this and done more so it will give us something to shoot for when we go :yahoo:

In early December, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, the first downloadable entry in the ghoul-corralling series, was outed. It was pegged for a vague spring 2011 release window at the time, but now Atari has announced a firm release date for the game.
According to a tweet from the official Atari Twitter feed, Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime will ship for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March 23. The publisher did not announce a release date for the PC iteration of the title. However, the publisher did note that the PC version will be available online via Atari.com when it is released.
The top-down game set in New York City will be a cooperative adventure title playable online or offline with up to four players. It will drop players into the boots of the Ghostbuster team's newest recruit and task them with working cooperatively to take down "gigantic bosses." Also, gamers will have a range of weaponry at their disposal including the proton stream, plasma inductor, and the fermion shock.
The title is currently in development at Behavior Studios, a downloadable developer best known for the Assault Heroes and 3D Ultra MiniGolf Adventures franchises.

Thanks, Ken. Good point. The foliage isn't up now, but the plant is/was in two locations. The plants have not been there long and I think it was something I brought in by accident with something else. My plan is to let the foliage come up a bit, maybe for a month, then spray with Rup or similar. About 2 wks after the foliage dies back (I'll put a marker there), dig the roots and area up. If I understand you, your saying that just trying to dig the things up may have the roots remain enough so that I begin to get offshoots here and there? |

Thanks, Ken. I've got two of these approximately 2 year old patches of Campis radicans. I said "spray" but what I usually do if victim plants/weeds are near anything else is to paint it on with a toss away foam brush, or let the pump sprayer trickle onto the foliage and stems. I like you expensive applicator and will start saving up (and will label contents so no mixup at picnics). There isn't any "stump" to speak of (maybe if I did a bit, I can spot one), because the plants are not very old. I was under the impression that I should douse the foliage with the brush killer and that it would then be taken up by the rest of the plant, including the stems and roots. Given that there are just some thin stems (not up yet), should I still cut it down and just treat the ends of the stems? Again, no real "trunk" that I can detect. So, I should allow more time for the solution to work, and stay on top of it with more treatments. I also have bittersweet (1 to 2" stems) -- so is a good approach to eradicating the bittersweet to cut it down to ground and apply Rup to cut off stem/trunk and keep at it? I'll give that a go. I also have invasive "wild" blackberry (Burbank?) and poison ivy. I'll try your technique with the brambles. The Rup, even when more concentrated, didn't do much to pursued the poison ivy to give up. Any other brand of brush killer that you can recommend? |
Given that there are just some thin stems (not up yet), should I still cut it down and just treat the ends of the stems? C. radicans creates massive root stores that are difficult to destroy completely from the surface. If they are established vines, better to dig down a foot or so along the root from which the thinner stems/vines emerged. Cut through the thicker root and swab (soak) the end with (in) the concentrated herbicide. Parts of the deeper root will likely survive, but appear less able to put up strong shoots from a foot or more below the surface. Small bits of deep, lateral, or layered roots that do manage to survive will continue to send out new shoots, but will be fewer and weaker; then if becomes a matter of attrition to keep them pulled before they can rebuild root (or seed out). Sounds like yours are new enough to not be so bad. Our less aggressive campsis Ă— tagliabuana vines were in the ground about five years before we figured out that the nursery had actually sold us c. radicans. Photo is one example of how substantial the vertical roots we were dealing with had become in that time. |

Holy Cow, Bostedo! What a pest this CREEP is. Good luck with finishing your eradication work and thanks for the photo, info and link. I will try to do an exploratory lap on the two sites today and see what root system I uncover, then keep after it. Wasn't there a movie titled something like, "What Lurks Beneath?" |
Not so much a creep as a grizzly bear: easy to admire its strength and beauty in the open spaces of its natural habitat, but not the sort of thing the average person should be trying to confine on a typical urban lot. :-) |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Theodore, a Odenton 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 Odenton, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Odenton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Odenton 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 Odenton 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 Odenton paves the way for another one to be saved.
