True Writer™ Select Rollerball
Price: $149.00
Item: AP12615
The ultimate True Writer rollerball pen
Painstakingly crafted and precision-engineered for high performance, the True Writer Select is designed to be your stalwart daily writing companion. Obsessing over the details to create the ultimate Levenger True Writer rollerball pen, our design team spent more than a year to perfect the size, weight and feel of the Select's large and robust barrel, and to choose its unique resin, finishes and appointments. The Select rollerball is impressively housed in a monogrammable solid wood gift box to treasure and keep.
The True Writer design story
By the end of the last millennium, the ubiquitous disposable pen had just about taken over. Though a few pen companies still catered to serious collectors with elaborate, intricate (and exorbitantly expensive) designs, it had been years since anyone offered a beautifully made everyday pen. Inspired by the Esterbrook Pen Company, which served the writing needs of the general public for almost a hundred years, Levenger set out to inspire contemporary writers with a modern take on the classics. In February, 1999, the very first True Writer was introduced. The Select takes our trusty True Writer design to a new level of writing comfort and beauty with a slightly more robust barrel, enhanced by upgraded new finishes, appointments and details.
Robust yet lightweight resin barrel in Macchiato, Stormy Weather or Mediterranean
Chrome and gunmetal appointments
Threaded cap posts securely on the barrel
Impressive wood presentation box can be personalized
6L x 5/8 diameter, 1.4 oz

True Writer Select Rollerball
Great quality gift well received
My brilliant nephew-writer calls it his " dedicated pen". Gave it as a Christmas present. Fabulous design and quality.
January 3, 2015
Great balance and feel.
You don't need an eye loupe to see that the personalized engraving is of fair quality. The treads on the pen cap are not quite lined up, if you tighten the cap just a little too much it "threads out" and twists all the way around instead of getting tight. This was a surprise because the other two Levenger pens that I own the threads are of exquisite workmanship. These two flaws don't effect the performance of the pen and don't undermine the overall cost value of the pen. The pen is an incredible writing experience. With the cap on the back, which fits very snugly the pen offers almost perfect balance and comfort. Pairing this pen with fiber-tip refill produces the smoothest line I have ever written with.

Gift Well Received
This was purchased as a gift and I must say it was well-received, Beautiful, large pen, (bought in Macchiato color with initials), elegantly packaged, writes smoothly, and had a solid feel in your hand. More than pleased with the response.

My favorite pen
I really like the True Writer line of rollerballs, but the Select definitely takes the cake. Slightly larger, and slightly heavier, for a nice solid feel in the hand. I just wish that the cap fit on the back end when I'm writing, and that it came in more colors.
October 9, 2014
Love it!
This new pen is fantastic. I have been using True Writers for a long time and they are great. But this new Select version (I got the rollerball), is really special. I think the best thing about it is the weight. It has a weight and solidity to it that feels good in your hand, is perfectly balanced with the cap on the end and writes very smoothly. And I'm left handed so that's saying something. I highly recommend this pen!
September 11, 2014
Better Than I Expected
This is my first True Writer Select and I wasn't sure if it would actually be more "high end" or not. Well, the barrel and cap are swirled in a fantastically deep and intricate Mediterranean finish that truly captures the eye. It is the kind of pen that while you are thinking what to write you can sort of gaze into its depths. The clip and band are mirror-finished without the slightest blemishing. It is a very comfortable pen to hold and the rollerball refill is smooth and puts down the proper quantity of ink. Oh, and personalization was fun. I wanted my Ham Radio call sign (Google it) and I needed a number 2 with some capital letters. I wondered if they could do Arabic numerals as well as letters and, yep, came through 100% and looks great on my desk. May buy a different odor sometime in the future.
September 11, 2014
Great Pen
I am not one who normally praises non-fountain pens, but I will here. I am really enjoying this pen in Macchiato with a fiber tip refill. It is a really big pen...like Montblanc 149 size. It is comfortable to hold and write with for long periods of time. I am much happier with this Levenger pen than the last one I bought.
August 29, 2014
True Writer Select best Levenger series to date
I have enjoyed many Levenger products and pens, and have about a dozen of the standard True Writers, in various colors and writing modes. I bought the True Writer Select during a promotion, in part because I had a hard time justifying the expense without understanding more about the product. Let me just say, this is one fabulous pen. I picked up the rollerball in macchiato. The color is stunning. The weight is comfortable, even for a petite female. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another and expect that before too long, I will complete sets in both Mediterranean and Macchiato. Do yourself a favor and add one to your collection or offer it as a special gift. Be assured that the staff at Levenger will take care of you if you are not happy. I expect you will be pleased.

True Writer Select Rollerball
This pen, for me, (in macchiato) pretty much leaves all the other ones behind. It is beautifully made and the play of light and color on the body of the pen is fascinating. It has a rich quality that draws you in. When I first received it, I was a bit daunted by its size, but I quickly adjusted to that. It feels wonderful to write with and yes, it is as good as my favorite cup of coffee.

It was a time for celebration because I had just purchased a new truckmount capable of producing high solution temperatures. This resulted in better and faster cleaning than our previous system. Anything that saves labor and sweat is always worth celebrating.
As I worked my way through this building, pulling the hoses with me as I went, I began to notice a few spots where it looked like the color was gone from the carpet. I looked more closely and, sure enough, there were a few small marks where the tan carpet was now white. It took me a few minutes to realize that, in the areas where my brass quick connects were touching wet carpet, the carpet was loosing its color!
Some combination of high temperature, the brass quicks, moist carpet and whatever else, was creating a real issue that was making me sick to my stomach. In order to prevent further damage, I grabbed some cotton towels and wrapped them around the quick connects. This resolved the issue of removing any more dye and my handy crayon set (a story for another day) resolved the color-less spots.
One of the most popular quick-connect protection devices is the safe connect. The safe connect incorporates the female quick connect into a molded plastic cover (the tough plastic could be hard on corners, so be careful) and allows cleaners to couple and uncouple their quick connects without burning their hands. Sort of a "bulletproof vest" protecting the professional carpet cleaner from the quick connects. You will find more and more truckmounts have the safe connect as standard equipment on their solution connections. Changing from your floor tool to your stair tool no longer has to be accomplished at the same pain level as walking on red hot coals - something I find as desirable as jumping off a bridge with a long rubber band tied to my ankles.
QD wraps - as they are described in the industry - are insulated and simply wrap around the coupled quick connects and fasten with Velcro. They are available in either a gold Cordura nylon fabric or a bright orange plasticized fabric.
Also on the market is a product called a connector sleeve. It accomplishes the same basic purpose as the QD wraps, and is made of a two-piece soft plastic material that is fitted over the connectors.
I hope providing a look at some of the hose gadgets on the market has been helpful, and I look forward to profiling other helpful innovations in articles to come. To what end, you ask? To make your cleaning and restoration life easier, safer, and just more fun.

Legally Blonde The Musical
Sheridan Smith wins Best Actress in a Musical
First published: 13 Mar 2011
Sheridan Smith has triumphed in the Best Actress in a Musical category at the 2011 Olivier Awards with Mastercard.
Smith, who was previously nominated in 2008 for Little Shop Of Horrors, wins the award this year for her performance as sorority girl turned law student Elle Woods in Legally Blonde The Musical.
The actress won a legion of fans for bringing her own unique style to the role made famous by Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 hit film, upon which the musical is based.
Accepting the award, Smith spoke through tears to honour her fellow nominees, saying: "First of all, the girls in my category, you're amazing, so I don't think I deserve to be here. Thanks to everyone who let a chav play a rich girl – what a risk! This is the biggest honour. I had the best 14 months, it's a massive cherry on an already perfectly baked cake."
This is the first Olivier Award for Smith, who, until recently, was better known for her TV roles in sitcoms Gavin And Stacey, The Royle Family and Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet of Crisps. She left Legally Blonde The Musical in January and can currently be seen in Trevor Nunn's revival of Terence Rattigan's Flare Path at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.

The investment will allow for a fourth pipe to be developed at the site, with production expected to start by 2018.
African Consolidated Resources (ACR) will commmission its first gold mine in Zimbabwe in the second half of next year as the company steps up efforts to consolidate its presence in the country's gold sector.
As part of a set of planned measures to stimulate production and attract investment in the sector.
The United States is wagging its finger at Zimbabwe, threatening to ratchet up sanctions over a plan to develop a platinum mine involving Russian and Zimbabwean companies.
In the 30 years Rio Tinto's Argyle Pink Diamonds have been tendering the rare gems, only 13 red diamonds have been brought in.
The government wants to consolidate the diamond mining companies currently operating in Marange from six down to two or possibly one.
The world's largest diamond miner by market value said it will adopt a more flexible sales approach.
Sector now delivering some of the healthiest returns for many of the world's biggest miners, including Rio Tinto and Anglo American.
It has become economically unviable for miners to dig any deeper for the precious stones.
Two of the seven miners at Marange, Anjin and Jinan, will be shutting down.
Firm says deal means faster gold production at flagship Pickstone project.
The newly elected president of the World Diamond Council is not in favour of expanding the scope of the Kimberley Process scheme beyond conflict zones.
Despite billions spent on exploration, only around 30 significant diamond mines are currently in production.
Production of rough diamonds expected to be worth $19.6 billion by 2018.
Other two Canadian jurisdictions —New Brunswick and Newfoundland and Labrador— also made it to the top 10 worldwide. Kyrgyzstan and Venezuela, named the two countries mining enthusiasts should stay away from.
Marange is currently ranked the largest diamond producing deposit on earth, but its days seem to be counted.
Companies met deadline to submit concrete plans for major refinery.
Authorities are calling them the "the billion dollar diamond fields," though little exploration has taken place so far.
Country's diamonds said to be depleting fast.
A steady diamond demand in Europe, paired with an ever growing appetite for these precious stones in China and India, are to blame, says Alrosa.
Platinum sector workers will be happy with 208%, while gold miners seek a 150% wage increase. Industry is offering 0.6%.
So far, no legal action has been taken against people allegedly involved in diamond-related corruption.
And what can be really done to choose certified conflict-free diamonds.
Schedules meeting to discuss share consolidation and closed Zimbabwe mine.
Despite claims of fraud in the July election that kept President Robert Mugabe in power.
Steady diamond demand in the United States, paired with an ever growing appetite from China and India set to cause a major gap in global supply and demand, says report.

Dad sentenced to prison for battering infant daughter
BY JANET LUNDQUIST email@example.com December 6, 2013 9:00PM
Carl R. Blankenship | Photo courtesy of Will County Sheriff's office
Updated: January 9, 2014 6:42AM
A father convicted of shaking his 3-month-old daughter so violently it damaged most of her brain was sentenced to 14 years in prison Friday.
Carl R. Blankenship, 31, of the 1400 block of Pioneer Road in Crest Hill, was found guilty by a Will County jury of aggravated battery of a child in October.
His daughter, now 2, is alive, and functioning with 10 percent of her brain, prosecutors said. The girl cannot walk or see and is fed through a tube in her stomach.
Blankenship said Friday he loves his daughters.
"They are everything to me, and my life is nothing without them," Blankenship said, wearing orange jail scrubs, standing at the defense table. "I'm not a monster."
Blankenship was arrested in October 2011, about four months after his daughter was injured.
The child's mother, Victoria Blankenship, testified during his trial that he was watching the baby and their older daughter alone on June 2, 2011, the day the baby was hurt.
Blankenship testified that he had worked an overnight shift and had little sleep that day.
He told police that day he fed the baby, burped her, then laid her in her bassinet while he used the rest room. When he returned, the baby looked like she was gasping for air, he told police.
About four months later, he told police he accidentally dropped his infant daughter as she slipped out of his arms after a bath the day she was first hospitalized.
"The defense has gone to great pains in this case to paint the defendant as ... the best father in the world. To show you that all he cared about were his children. Not true," said Assistant State's Attorney Tina Filipiak. "On June 2, 2011, the only person Carl Blankenship cared about was Carl Blankenship. As his daughter is in critical condition, fighting for her life, he lies to everyone about how (her injuries occurred)."
Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak noted Blankenship's testimony about what happened didn't match medical evidence presented at the trial.
"Only God knows if her prognosis would've been different if you had been more forthcoming with information (when the baby was first treated for her injury)," Tomczak said.
She also noted that Blankenship had no criminal record, and that he apparently loves his daughters.
Blankenship was facing 6 to 30 years in prison. He must serve 85 percent of the 14-year sentence, and will receive credit for a little more than 2 years served in jail.

I noticed this tweet at security garden re: avira and uniblue. I looked at the links provided in that article. I thought I'd ask about Avira users here and what their thoughts are on this situation. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Security Garden Article
Follow-Up Postings:
The article is dated 6/13. I'm running Avira (free) on 2 machines and haven't seen any ad for Uniblue yet. As long as I'm not forced into anything, I'll continue to use Avira. |
- Posted by corrine_mvp (My Page) on Thu, Jun 16, 11 at 20:50
Thanks for the link to my article. Mele20, who has been around the security forums for many years, posted a link to the Uniblue ad. It has been confirmed by others. So, azinoh, you'll likely see it at one time or another. Just know to ignore it. As to the Ask Toolbar, I understand it is included with Avira AntiVir 10 Service Pack 2 is currently in beta. |
Well I guess I will be promoting Microsoft Security Essentials just a little more than I already do. Ah, what money can do, the devil itself. Avira users need to pay attention to the Ask toolbar too. I removed the Foxit PDF reader after installing - and refusing the option to have the Ask bar only to find it got installed anyway. The bad publicity this is generating across the internet might make it difficult for Avira to finance the new building as they had hoped. |
I have been getting the uniblue ad for about 2 weeks now but haven't seen the toolbar one but at times I really don't look and just x out of it. I only notice when not on my computer and it is on the screen. |
- Posted by not2bright (My Page) on Fri, Jun 17, 11 at 7:51
Thanks for the input ! :-) Like a few others here I haven't really noticed the ad yet, though I may, in fact, be getting it. Like dd50 I just click any ad's 'x' after booting up in the morning and letting various auto-updates take care of themselves. I must say I have been liking Avira since I started using it quite a few months ago. As long as nothing they do with UniBlue adversely affects its performance -- or forces installation of unwanted software -- I'm probably going to stick with it. For now, I guess, it's 'wait and see.' |

Corrine our list of suggested good free antivirus programs is indeed getting thin these days. Very disappointing to hear of Avira going this route. It is off of my suggested list now also of course. Very good article Corrine! I had seen Mele20's post on BBR and was quite surprised to hear this. not2bright thanks for posting about it here. |
- Posted by corrine_mvp (My Page) on Tue, Jun 28, 11 at 21:03
Thanks, R-C. I've seen elsewhere where people using the free version of Avira were offered a free upgrade to Avira Webguard (previously only available to licensed subscribers). It is Webguard that includes the Ask Toolbar. It was reported that if declined, the upgrade is offered at each restart. :( Personally, I'm more concerned about the uninitiated falling for the scareware tactics of Uniblue. After all, their trusted A/V appears to be recommending the Uniblue "Registry Booster" product and it proudly advertise itself as a "Microsoft Partner". |
I never did see anything about Uniblue, but today for the first time Avira started to nag me about installing a toolbar. Avira is now gone and MSE is installed. What a shame it is because I did get 3 years of great protection from the program. Oh well...all good things...etc. |

Tsutenkaku Towerbot Makes Almost as Much Sense as a Godzillabot
You got to hand it to the Japanese, they're always coming up with the wackiest concepts. In an era in which we are trying to make robots look more human or just make them more useful, there's nothing like this tower-shaped robot to get to the heart of the matter.
Tsutenkaku is its name, and from the promotional video, it makes me think that the goal is to actually produce a gigantic building Transformer robot. This robot is about 5'6″ high, and no less than 7 different Japanese companies thought that it was a good idea to produce a walking tower robot like this.
Apparently, the robot was created to help make Osaka cooler. For some reason, they thought that a robot, which could strike poses and light up like a Christmas tree, would accomplish this. It's scheduled to make its debut next week in Tokyo.

I wandered into work yesterday, expecting to find a couple of new roses for me to plant. Now this was for my solicitor customer who has a rapacious secretary - the same one who added a zero onto my bulb orders (450 alliums instead of 45!) so I ought to have been on guard. 8 roses! I take part of the blame because I e.mailed details of a rather good nursery I frequent (she had previously been paying Austin prices....and had ordered over 30 of them). At least she had followed my suggestions (apart from the 2 Albertines), so I had to work quicksmart to get them in the soil. Rambling Rector, 2 Albertines, Blush Rambler, Aglaia, Gardenia and 2 William Tyndales - a recently found rambler with deep pink single blooms (unsurprisingly, this one was my top choice). Oh yeah, there were also 3 wisterias and 11 clematis too. I have been charged with an impossible disguise act - to somehow 'hide the evidence' of 2 enormous, illegally felled yews. And this is another tale to tell and further evidence that the general public are definitely in need of guidance and strong sedation. |

Wow camps, that's a lot of work, hope the beds were prepared. Must be a large property. Over here being caught in the act of felling a Taxus baccata (Ι suppose that's what a yew is for you) could land you in prison for a couple of days before trial and then you would owe that state a nicely rounded sum of Euros.. |

How sad. Being here in the land of no yews I really enjoyed seeing them in England. The ancient ones are a particular treasure... At least you weren't planting KnockOuts. And I agree with you re: the general public. Susan |

Here it is Giant Sequoia (redwood trees) which are protected, among others. We hardly have any "old growth" ones left (massive logging in the 19th century), so all of them of any age are protected. A homeowner in a town nearby had to prove that a few on her neighbors land were sick and in danger of falling on her house (all of the arborists agreed with her) and killing her family in their sleep before they could be taken down - this took several years in court cases and appeals. Eventually they were taken down. I think if anyone just chopped some redwood trees down in the night, they would face a lynch mob. A homeowner had several eucalyptus trees (blue gum) which were growing in a park downhill from her house chopped down in the night (they were obscuring her view). Now, those are not native to here, and are regarded as a fire hazard and messy, but nonetheless that homeowner spent several months on trial for various crimes before it was pled down and she was put on probation & fined. Tree wars - always interesting... Jackie |

Jackie .... One of the reasons I decided not to live on the coast in redwood country, which I love, is that when I was house hunting the local paper had an article about the city council denying permission to and elderly lady to remove 12 redwood trees that she and her husband had planted about 50 years ago on their property. She had reports from an arborist stating that these 12 trees out of the 70 they had planted were truly vulnerable to falling on her house when there were high winds, which were very common in her location. I decided I couldn't live where trees planted by someone, not old growth, were more important than that person's life. Suzy ... sound like you really had your work cut out for you. I am feeling quite grateful that everything here is still covered in snow. I needed a break. Smiles, |

Ha! I once had foolish friends who planted redwood trees all around the fence line of their back yard (on about 3 foot centers!). Their back yard also had about 2 dozen rose bushes. About 5 years after planting the redwoods, I was over there and she asked me to come and look at her roses - there was something mysteriously wrong with them. Of course, the redwoods (which were already crowding each other) had completely shaded out the "rose garden", which was now in deep gloom. I suggested taking out all of the roses, and 2 out of 3 of the trees, and planting ferns. Camp is right - "the general public are definitely in need of guidance and strong sedation"! Jackie |
Yep, I weaseled the truth about the trees from my customer (after checking on the public planning portal and finding nothing).........and my guy is a lawyer ffs. Frankly, I think he is going to need more than a clematis montana....or even Kiftsgate (our banksia, in terms of size and vigour) to hide this..... Of course, the ground was prepped for 2 roses so I had to hustle to get them in the ground (had to dig monster holes because Trevor's roses have the fattest, hugest roots). I am terribly interested in the William Tyndale rose though - cannot find much info so far..... |
- Posted by nikthegreek 9b/10a E of Athens (My Page) on Sun, Dec 22, 13 at 0:49
Puzzled. Since he went into the trouble to have it felled, why didn't he have it cut it to the ground? Nik |
Well yeah? Why indeed? Truth is, these trees are under a Tree Protection Order, which means that the householder has a duty of care to ensure the trees are maintained in health....and any extraneous work MUST be approved by council tree officers, yes, even on private property. So, this was a sort of cack-handed attempt to remove some of the trees while still attending to the letter of the law (except it doesn't, since even thinning or crown reduction has to be authorised). I, on the other hand, am sitting back and waiting for the inevitable fines and trouble to hit my customer...although, as a lawyer, he deals in class actions against paedophiles and authorities sheltering paedophiles and is, in effect, one of the 'good guys' who is also becoming incredibly rich due to the nefarious behaviour of those who cannot keep their hands to themselves and their tackle in their pants. It is a sad and often bewildering world we inhabit (my client is, at present, working on behalf of many children from 8 different children's homes, approved schools and education establishments). One of our garden aims is to create a safe and reassuring environment for abused children.....although murderous tree workers are not exactly fulfilling this brief. |

Interface that must be implemented for each handler type to handle a request. This interface is used to allow the DispatcherServlet to be indefinitely extensible. The DispatcherServlet accesses all installed handlers through this interface, meaning that it does not contain code specific to any handler type.
Note that a handler can be of type Object. This is to enable handlers from other frameworks to be integrated with this framework without custom coding.
This interface is not intended for application developers. It is available to handlers who want to develop their own web workflow.
Note: Implementations can implement the Ordered interface to be able to specify a sorting order and thus a priority for getting applied by DispatcherServlet. Non-Ordered instances get treated as lowest priority.

RENO, NV - While other areas of the country are seeing West Nile Virus on the rise, the virus has not been found so far this season in Nevada.
"We typically don't see it until about now," Bob Sack, the director of environmental health for the Washoe County District Health Department, said.
Sack said that's because it is only now overnight temperatures are warm enough to help the mosquito population grow.
He said the public should continue to take steps to avoid the insects -- that includes wearing repellant, and removing free-standing water near homes.
The virus was recently found in California near Lake Tahoe's south shore.

Electron Whereabouts
Name: Sheri H. Status: other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
When hydrogen spews out its only electron, where does the electron go?
It depends on what type of environment the hydrogen atom is in. First off, hydrogen exist in nature as a diatom, meaning that hydrogen gass is H2, not H1. If you are talking about hydrogen inside of the sun, then the elevated temperature gives the atom so much energy that the electron is elevated to (somewhere about) the 22nd S-orbital. This condition is called plasma and the electrons and protons are now a sea with no real attachments to eachother, only distant interactions.
If you are talking about an hydrogen atom in an small organic molecule (like water), then a negatively charged atom can take the proton and the electron is transfered to the oxygen on water, which is left as a hydroxyl group (-OH).
It is also possible to eject the electron via radiation stimulation, which usually takes place within a particle accelerator. The proton and the electron would then be trapped in a magnetic field and accelerated for whatever use.

Mazda 3 Transmission Problems
roadburner Posts: 7,035
autonomous Posts: 1,769mazda ... too many probems with their transmissions
Curious. In the April 2010 Consumer Reports Auto issue the 2007 Mazda 3 transmission is top rated (that is, it "had relatively few problems compared with other models"). In fact, the transmission seems to be consistently rated highly from 2006 to 2009. The automatic transmission on my 2002 Mazda Protege5 (precursor to the Mazda3) continues to work flawlessly after 80K miles. -
kduggento Posts: 4You cannot compare your 2002 Mazda Protege5 transmission with another year and model. It's apples and oranges.
When this many of the same year and model are having the EXACT same problems then Mazda should be taking notice. Changing your entire transmission (no repair) before changing your breaks is a ridiculous proposition.
As for Consumer Reports. That piece of data is given without context. Which type of Mazda3 transmissions were they talking about? The Mazda3 Speed transmission is still highly rated. We are specifically talking about the automatic transmission in the standard model. -

You raise a good point, so I checked the reference in Consumer Reports. CR is referring to the "Mazda3 sedan" so this would exclude the Mazda3 Speed (which as you know is not a sedan). The listing has two rows referring to troublespots with transmissions: "Trans. major" and "Trans. minor". In both cases, the Mazda3 receives their best rating. The car is rated "better than avg." overall. As you know, CR has one of the largest databases of consumer responses (latest survey covers 1.4 million vehicles). CR is an important tool for determining the reliability and "how a model is holding up and its strengths and weakenesses".
You cannot compare your 2002 Mazda Protege5 transmission with another year and model. It's apples and oranges
My point was that the Protege5, the predecessor for the Mazda3, had a reputation for solid transmissions. So, it seems curious to me for Mazda to start making inferior transmissions for the Mazda3. -
roadburner Posts: 7,035How many is "this many", do we have accurate statistics on the failure rate? Do we also have an accurate figure on failure rate amongst all vehicles for comparison?
I read it on the internet- so it HAS to be true!!!
Mine: 1995 318ti Club Sport 1975 2002A 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 1999 Wrangler 1996 Speed Triple Challenge Cup Replica Wife's: 2009 328i Son's: 2004 X3 2.5
kduggento Posts: 4Of course no manufacturer would purposely start making inferior transmissions. However, they must make adjustments for each and every year and model. Parts may be coming from a different place. The transmission may be built at a different site. There are about a million variables why a failure can occur in a particular year and model that doesn't occur anywhere else. Therefore, engineering mistakes are possible.
Want an example? Look what happened to Toyota's stellar reputation.
Not only have I found many of the exact complaints locally and on the internet, I have experienced this myself. Therefore, yes, I do find truth in it. -
kduggento Posts: 4One other note that might help with outside understanding: my car is high mileage for the year. I put on many more miles than the average driver and I expect in the next year or two as more drivers approach 60,000 miles there will be higher incidences. Enough to perhaps gain some momentum.
I would probably not feel as keen if the symptoms didn't appear to be identical (starts acting up at 30K; computer reports no problems; discolored transmission flud; "diagnosed" after warranty period). -

fleety62 Posts: 4In June I bought the 2010 Mazda 3 Sedan off the showroom floor. This morning at 5900 miles it stopped accelerating on a major Interstate Highway. No warnings no previous slipping and shifting has been perfect. I called Roadside assistance (Tow Truck Driver Doesn't Accept) Had to use AAA. Got it to the dealership, after 1 hour I am told the transmission is blown. I am wondering if this is a recently reported issue with the Transmission in the new model?
aviboy97 Posts: 3,159I called Roadside assistance (Tow Truck Driver Doesn't Accept) Had to use AAA.
Mazda roadside is a dispatch service that pays the tow truck directly, just like AAA. I'm sure Mazda has a list of area shops that accept their money.
I have never heard of a tow truck driver actually driving out and saying "I don't accept Mazda Roadside Assistance" because you call Mazda and then a truck comes. You don't call a tow truck and hand him your Mazda Roadside card.
I am now doubting your claim since your statement about Mazda's roadside is completely inacurate. It goes against your credibility, sorry. -
becb Posts: 2Can anyone please help? Approx 1 week ago I was driving my 2004 Manuel Mazda 3 with full tank of petrol and it kept jerking backwards and forewards like it was about to run out. I took it to my dealership and they said there was a blockage with my fuel pump and i needed a new fuel pump. I also had the car serviced at the same time costing me $1100. I picked my car up rom the dealership this morning and initially it drove fine. But after 15 minutes, the exact same problem happened and my car had no energy and struggled to make 30 kms per hour. I had to be towed back to the dealership. They don't seam to know what the problem is and I am spending all my money fixing things that may not need to be fixed. Has anyone had this problem and could you pleae shed some light on the situation???
autonomous Posts: 1,769
steven2479 Posts: 1I own a 2008 Mazda 3 sedan (automatic trans.). Shortly after my 20,000 mile service at the dealer I started having this weird problem where I can't shift into "park" properly. There is nothing "wrong" with the shifter exactly, because I can actually switch it into park, but the "P" light does not come on, so I'm not exactly sure if the car is actually in park, though I can not start the car when this happens unless I shift into neutral. This does not happen all the time, but it seems to be happening more often than not. Also, if the car drifts a tiny bit frontwards or backwards after I shift into park, there's a clicking sound and the "P" light does come on. Has anyone had this issue and does this mean that the transmission is possibly damaged or getting bad? I am going to take it to the dealer, but just wondering if anyone has any insight?
gogiboy Posts: 732"...though I can not start the car when this happens unless I shift into neutral."
It could be something as simple as a faulty neutral safety switch, which would be considerably less trouble and expense--and more likely--than a bad transmission at 20K miles. Still, anything is possible...

kwilcher10 Posts: 1Bought a 2009 Mazda 3 in August 2009 with 9400 miles on it and sold new to me. At 23,000 miles I noticed vibration when I am coming to a red light slowing down and then the light changes to green. When the transmission is in second gear and I accelerate the gas it gives off a vibration and noise. Took car in to dealership and at they put the car on the computer and of course nothing picks up. Took car back again and this time they reprogram the RPM. Took car back again and went on test drive with the tech and he heard the issue. He then test drove a Mazda 3 hatchback on the lot and I asked prior to driving did it have the same transmission as my car as well as motor and the advised me yes. He then advised me he didn't hear it. Got car back and the same noise again-- long story short my car has been back and forth to the dealership from May 2010 until October 2010 every month and sometimes twice a month. They have reprogram my RMP, replace my AC compressor, then replace my transmission and come to find out my transmission had a leak that they didn't bother to tell me about. I have been on the phone with MAZDA corp. and MAZDA rep. who has been working on my car since yesterday and called today and stated it is normal; which is not. I was wondering if anybody has had this problem with trouble in 2nd gear accelerating and slowing down. I have been in contact with BBB Auto Line and filed paperwork with them and waiting on a meeting, to see if something can be done b/c now they are telling me it is normal, after replacing all these items on my car when the problem started at 23,000 and now it has 27,0000 miles on it. I just want out of the car all together.
Let me know if anybody else is having problems with gears and transmission. -
fleety62 Posts: 4Wow do you work for them? My credibility?
Yes in the state of Massachusetts the Interstate 90 toll road only allow contracted towing companies to remove cars from the highways.
Just to send an update. Indeed my transmission was blown on arrival at the dealership. The transmission control module failed without any warning. The transmission was totally destroyed internally according the diagnostics done by thier Engineers. I was well taken care of by the dealership with a loaner car and compensation for not having my new car for a couple of weeks while they replaced the TCM and the Transmission. They say they have never had this happen before.
I am sure it will be traded in before I run out of the 3yr 36K
I hope no one else has the misfortune I have had. The new transmission has 500 miles on it and it working fine again. *fingers crossed* -
esbn Posts: 1I parked my car in my driveway (on a hill) the other night. After we had been home about an hour I heard cars honking outside of our house. When I looked out the window my car had rolled out of the drive way across the street and partially into another driveway. When I climbed inside the car the car was still in gear and the emergency brake was still engaged. This has happened before, but I thougth maybe I had left the car in neutral.
Has anyone else run into this issue? -
jyliss Posts: 3About a year ago, when my car was with the dealer for an unrelated problem, they said my transmission fluid was dirty and they did a transmission service. Three months later, when my car was with a local mechanic for an oil change, he noticed that the transmission pan was pitted and rusting. He suggested I call Mazda. My car was one month out of warranty and, as I live far from the dealer and am disabled, I don't go to the dealer for routine service, so they said they wouldn't cover it. I brought up the fact that the pan had to have shown the pitting when they did the transmission service but to no avail. Now I've had to spend about $300 on a new pan and service because I started leaking fluid. I've never had this problem with cars I've had much longer or with the used cars I bought when I was younger. I'm very unhappy with Mazda and I'll never buy another one. It's a shame because it's such a sharp looking car and I always get compliments on it.
shipo Posts: 9,152Keep in mind that it's your Mazda dealership that you're unhappy with, not Mazda corporate. The problem here is that Mazda (and all other manufacturers for that matter) only have so much pull with their franchise owners (the dealerships), and as such, some dealerships are better (often much better) than others.
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855I thought he did call Mazda, though it is not clear, that was my impression from this: He suggested I call Mazda. My car was one month out of warranty and, as I live far from the dealer and am disabled, I don't go to the dealer for routine service, so they said they wouldn't cover it.
Anyway, while it is unfortunate to have an unfair $300 repair bill, swearing off the brand seems like an over-reaction to me. If it were $5000 for an engine or transmission or something, I could understand...but $300 is a pretty small repair bill these days. -
autonomous Posts: 1,769
ejhayes1 Posts: 11Yeah, I agree too.
I can spend almost $300 on just routine maintenance at times. There are people here with several thousands dollars in repairs that aren't being covered fairly by Mazda. These are the people that should be swearing off this brand. $300 is nothing.
Overall I like this car. However, it does look nicer externally than the internal quality in some regards. I think some of the Ford shows up in these Mazda's. To make a car this cheap now days means using cheaper parts. I haven't had any major issues, but I've had more issues than I had with new Honda's ten years ago.
On a side note, any one replace the clutch on a 2004-2009 Mazda3 that can post the cost they paid (and whether it was at the dealer or an independent shop?). My clutch will need to be replaced in the upcoming months. (result of teaching wife to drive manual = short clutch life). Thanks. -

I'm thinking you need to think again; in many/most cases Fords of late have had nicer interiors (material wise) than Mazdas of the same vintage. When I bought my Mazda3 I test drove the Focus and the Civic; from a material perspective the Mazda had the worst of the three interiors (by a pretty wide margin, geez, even the Cobalt had nicer materials), but the best of the three in function.
As if that isn't enough, next year when the new Focus comes out it will absolutely smoke the Mazda3 from pretty much every perspective. Said another way, I don't think you can lay blame for Mazdas corner cutting at Ford's doorstep. -
ejhayes1 Posts: 11Hmmm, I have a Mazda3 with just shy of 31,000 miles on it with the original clutch. Why is that surprising? Because this last spring I taught my 16 year old son to drive a stick and he was none too gentle on the clutch on many occasions (the burnt rubber smell is hard to miss even when I wasn't with him in the car). Long story short, if my clutch goes out any time before the 100,000 mile mark, I'll know why. Given the abuse my clutch received compared to yours, I find it amazing that it has failed so early on
I wonder how your son's learning compared to my wife's? I taught my wife to drive manual on our 2008 Mazda3. She was very abusive on the clutch. The car is at 32,000 miles and just recently began showing clutch wear as clutch shudder when slipping in 1st, 2nd gear. The technical says the clutch still bites ok, but it will shudder like this until replaced. I expected a shorter life due to teaching my wife on it, but I'm not sure I expected it to be this short. Although its hard to tell right now whether the clutch is going to go out totally very soon, or I'll get another 6-12 months out of it. I was originally hoping for 40,000 miles with it, given the abuse it had.
I've owned Honda, Subaru and VW manuals and ironically this is the only one that has ever needed clutch replacement. Its also the only one some one learned on though

AS SSD Benchmark
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.2.3577.40358

AS determines the performance of Solid State Drives (SSD). The tool contains four synthetic as well as three practice tests. The synthetic tests are to determine the sequential and random read and write performance of the SSD. These tests are carried out without the use of the operating system caches.
In all synthetic tests the test file size is 1GB. AS can also determine the access time of the SSD, the access of which the drive is determined to read through the entire capacity of the SSD (Full Stroke). The write access test is only to be met with a 1 GB big test file. At the end of the tests three values for the read and write as well as the overall performance will be issued. In addition to the calculated values which are shown in MB/s, they are also represented in IO per seconds (IOPS).
Note: AS SSD is a great benchmark for many tests, but since Crystal Disk Mark covers a broader range of 4K tests and HD Tune Pro covering sequential speeds, we will only use the Copy Benchmark from AS SSD.
- Copy Benchmark
If the fill tests weren't enough, the Agility 3 with async flash has an issue with incompressible data. Your pictures, movies, audio files and ZIP / RAR files will move around slower with the Agility 3 when compared to the Vertex 3.
The compressed data issues really show up when transferring data around the drive in AS SSD's Copy Test.

A big thanks to everyone who helped us with this year's Market! We had a great season, and wish everyone the best throughout the fall and winter. We especially want to celebrate our 2014 growers and producers:
Deep Roots Farm
Link'd Hearts Ranch
Kathy's Kids
Wilson Banner Ranch
Omache Farm
Sexton Farms
Tourmaline Farms & Feed
Ravencroft Farm
Zaydeh and Bubbie's Fresh Produce
For the last decade, the Moscow Food Co-op has sponsored the Tuesday Growers Market. Affinity Farm of Moscow approached the former General Manager with the idea of a mid-week market… and the rest is history! Now in its 11th season, the market has remained true to its roots – a food oriented weekly market made up exclusively of local farmers from within 50 miles of Moscow using sustainable and organic farming practices. It is the perfect way to connect directly to farming right here on the Palouse.
We are currently inviting applications to sell locally produced goods This year we are waiving fees for all producers who commit to a full season at the market in order to remove as many barriers as possible for small-scale growers and producers. Walk-on fees will still be $5 for a full stall and $3 for a half stall. Located in the Co-op parking lot, the market runs Tuesdays from 4:00-6:30 p.m. with setup beginning at 3:30 p.m. Contact Misty Amarena, Tuesday Growers Market Coordinator, for applications or more information: email@example.com
Tuesday Growers Market Vendor Guidelines
Tuesday Growers Market Vendor Application
Market Sprouts! A fun, educational program for wee ones (12 and under, please) that encourages youngsters to visit the Tuesday Growers Market, meet their local farmers and learn more about what it means to grow, shop and eat locally. Little Co-oppers can pick up a Market Sprouts Activity Book from the Customer Service Desk, or from our Market Coordinator (and her helpers!) at the Tuesday Growers Market.
The Tuesday Growers Market participates in Shop the Market, a program which expands local consumer choices for low-income families across the Palouse by allowing them to use their federal food assistance (SNAP) benefits at our Moscow farmers markets.
Here's how it works:
-Families go to the Backyard Harvest booth to swipe their SNAP card and receive wooden tokens for the amount that is debited from their account.
-Tokens are in two denominations, green $1 and purple $5.
-Tokens do not expire and may be used at either the Tuesday Growers Market or the Saturday Market.
-Tokens may only be used to purchase items approved by the SNAP program. These include: fruits, vegetables, eggs, bread, meat honey, cheese, herbs, plant starts, seeds for food production and bulk hot/cold food items to be consumed at home.
-Tokens may NOT be used to purchase the following: crafts, individual hot/cold food items and non-edible plant seeds and starts.

The localized sourcing will include 25% of at least one produce item from within 200 miles of each restaurant, including romaine lettuce, green bell and jalapeno peppers, and red onions as seasonably available.
Organic beans, avocados and herbs grown on a large scale in certain climates will not be part of the local-grown program, said Chris Arnold, public relations director for Chipotle.
"Some things, like avocados can't be part of this program because they grow only in certain climates around the world," he said.
Tough to find suppliers
Ann Daniels, executive director of purchasing, told the Associated Press that it has been difficult to find the right suppliers. She said the company found during testing that it would have to use growers of about 500 to 600 acres in order to ensure a reliable supply. She said smaller growers would not always be able to deliver product because they are, "less able to survive swings in weather."
In its search, the company sought out information from distributors, local employees and the Internet to find suppliers, and then made sure each met its food safety and quality standards. Arnold said the company would be adding nearly 30 growers to its source list.
"We're looking to ramp this up as quickly as possible," Arnold said. "Right now there are four farms participating in the program. They are all within 120 miles of our distribution centers and we're taking the logistical burden on ourselves rather than product being delivered by the farms."
Holthouse Farms
Among those growers is Holthouse Farms of Ohio Inc., Willard, which will provide jala-peno peppers, romaine lettuce and green bell peppers to Chipotle restaurants in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan through the restaurant's distribution network, said Kirk Holthouse, sales manager.
"In the summertime, quite often, we don't get some of the business because a lot of chain restaurants will be buying out of California, from farms 10 times larger than us," Holthouse, said July 3.
Holthouse Farms normally ships around 1,000 truckloads a year, he said, and Chipotle's orders may add an extra truckload each week.
Arnold said the three other growers in the program, who he did not identify, are in Oregon, Florida and New Jersey.
"The others are in the process of being qualified and approved to participate," he said.
This move by Chipotle is an effort to enhance its food integrity program. Arnold said the company hopes that by collaborating with local growers the restaurants will provide fresher, better-tasting food and reduce fuel consumption for shipping.

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

On Sept. 26, the Lady Panthers came to Powell Field hoping to avenge an earlier 2-1 loss to Lyon County at Dawson Springs a month earlier.
Dawson would have settled for a repeat of the earlier game, since the Lady Lyons scored early and often en route to a 7-1 victory. All seven goals were tallied by Jill P'poole, which gives her 35 for the season and a whopping 113 for her career.
Coach Megan Sholar offered her thoughts after the victory.
"We were heading into the Dawson game with some tough losses behind us so we worked hard in practices to get everyone refocused on our goals," Sholar said.
"I was glad to see them step out on the field determined to win that night. Everyone played hard and we had an excellent win. It was a very tough game, Dawson towards the end got really physical but my girls kept their cool and kept playing. I was really proud of how they stayed composed and kept playing till the end, it was the win we were looking for (and needed). Our number one goal has always been to win the district championship again and I feel like everyone is starting to see that that is a strong possibility now."
The Lady Lyons have three games left in the regular season, Ballard on Oct. 1, Webster County on Oct. 3, and Union County on Oct. 7.
All these games are at home.
The Lady Lyon record stands at 4-8-0 for the season.

Battlestar Galactica (The original). But the remake was really good too.
Firefly. Hands. Down. Go Joss! FTW!

I agree with you on Babylon 5
Firefly, hands down!!

Firefly. Totally.
I really liked Firefly & Farscape as well as some of the Treks but my all time favorite so far is Stargate SG-1 and then SG Atlantis!
um.. firely..?
Babylon 5. Or Dune (Sci Fi channel). Or Firefly. Brisco County, Jr. (steampunk before it was popular). Or hell, many others. Even comedy; Red Dwarf! There are so many worth mention.
Firefly is hands down #1.
Loved many of the Treks and many of the Stargates. But nothing has been as good as Firefly.
Green Acres?
Doctor Who, then Blake's 7. Love'n the British Sci-Fi here.

The Starlost. Ahahahahahaha! Whew. Oh. Sorry. No one out there old enough to get my funny?
I love Star Trek, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Farscape, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5 and Stargate SG-1...but Stargate: Atlantis takes the cake for me. <3
The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits
Why isn't Firefly an option??
Life on Mars
Hands down Twilight Zone and I'm only 22
Ha! Best SCi-Fi show Saphire & Steel! Nothing can beat that :P The Invaders! The Prisoner pwns most of the shows mentioned sheesh.
Space. Above and beyond
If I had to choose only one, I'd say Firefly. However, I like what I'm reading in the comments. Stargate, Futurama, Battlestar Galactica... all fantastic shows as well. You are my people.
No Battlestar Galactica? Whaaaa???
Forgot ... LOGAN'S RUN . Maan old stuff coming back to me :D
Firefly? Please. How could a series that gets axed after 14 episodes be "the best ever"?
And the winner is...Firefly.
I would have to say: Outer Limits 1963 Outer Limits 1996 Variety is the spice of life. Each Outer Limits episode had a different cast, set, and writer unlike many of the other series which had the same cast, set and writer week after week. Twilight Zone had some excellent sci-fi episodes, but it was also heavy on fantasy and horror, so I don't consider it pure sci-fi.

For any job, the goal of a person is to strive for excellence, – pursuing both individual and organizational goals – perhaps even working towards building a legacy. Thomas Dale High School Alum and former Green Bay Packer William Henderson enriched his legacy as he was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame with long-time teammate Marco Rivera.
"To be mentioned among the best to ever play for an organization is an unbelievable honor," said Henderson. "I'm thankful I can represent the Green Bay Packers in this way."
Henderson was born in Richmond and raised in Chester, playing high school football for Thomas Dale under the late head coach Vic Williams. In reflecting on his time at Dale, Henderson stated he wasn't the best athlete or the best student for that matter, but the work ethic his parents instilled in him drove him to his successes.
"My parents were just two blue collar workers," he said. "They always encouraged me to make myself available for success, and that approach kept me humble."
Henderson attended the University of North Carolina (UNC) after graduating from Dale, and he encourages the young men playing football today to ensure they are well- rounded when it comes time to get recruited. After a great career on and off the field at UNC, Henderson was a third round draft choice by the Packers.
"I wasn't the most talented athlete on my high school team," said Henderson. "But when colleges game to recruit me, I had the total package, academics and athletics," he stated. "If you want to make dreams come true, you need to have strong academics."
During his 12-year career in the NFL, Henderson showed great consistency. Primarily a blocking fullback, "Boogie" was typically good for 25-40 receptions a year out of the backfield throughout his career. During his second year with the Packers, Henderson started 11 games at fullback and was a part of the Packers team that won Super Bowl XXXI over the New England Patriots 35-21. In the game, Henderson had two receptions. Henderson also shared the backfield with NFL and Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre for all 12 years he played.
"It started from day one when I was brought into the Green Bay organization," said Henderson. "I was surrounded by amazing athletes and men of amazing character."
Later in his career, in 2004, Henderson was named a first team All-Pro, and participated in his first Pro Bowl that same year. Henderson retired in 2006 from the NFL.
The induction ceremony was also special for Henderson due to being inducted alongside longtime friend Marco Rivera, who was on the Packer's offensive line for nine years (1996-2004) and was also a member of practice squad for the Super Bowl XXXI champions. Rivera, a three time pro-bowler, finished his career playing two seasons for the Dallas Cowboys before retiring the same year as Henderson.
"Marco is a remarkable kid; we always called each other kid," told Henderson. "We worked together on and off the field and became friends on and off the field," he continued. "He's a great father and husband, and he works hard to show that football players aren't entertainment just on the field, but forces in the community."
Speaking of community, Henderson is heavily involved in several organizations surrounding education, and locally he supports 2BNB (To the Bottom and Back), an organization that provides free transportation to and from the city of Richmond for those who cannot afford it. Henderson also received the Bravo award in May 2011, a prestigious award given to people that have achieved excellence in their profession and in their community.
The Village News extends its congratulations to William Henderson on yet another accolade and wishes for his continued legacy in the Chester community.

A welcome to Griffith sign greets travelers at the intersection of Avenue H and Broad Street at a southern entrance to Griffith, Ind. Tuesday April 2, 2013. | Stephanie Dowell~ for Sun-Times Media
Updated: May 6, 2013 6:22AM
INDIANAPOLIS — The Griffith secession bill, which requires Calumet Township to reduce its poor relief tax collection to less than 12 times the state average, passed the Senate with 36-12 vote.
One Democratic senator, Frank Mrvan, Jr. of Hammond, voted in favor of the bill.
The current bill would require the township for one year to reduce its poor relief spending. After that, the state would intervene to reduce the costs to the state average.
If the state still can't lower the cost of the poor tax relief, then Griffith could begin a process to redraw its political boundaries.
Sen. Brant Hershman, R-Buck Creek, explained the bill offers the township a chance to fix the problem.
"Who are we protecting with this bill? We're protecting the taxpayer and the voter's faith in their government to self monitor their behavior," Hershman said. "We're giving the township an opportunity to heal themselves."
Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Hammond, said she questioned the logic of allowing a town to leave a township, which could cause havoc for organizing land plats and districts set by townships.
"Does that mean I have to re-plat my property if I want to sell it?" Tallian said, "Do we have to correct property descriptions all over an entire township?"
She added that the state has a number of ways to influence a government body to fix the problem besides offering to redraw the political boundaries.
Sen. Lonnie Randolph, D-East Chicago, said he represents Calumet but had no input into the bill. He criticized the concept that could hurt the poor living in Calumet Township.
Mrvan said he supported the bill after hearing statistics on the township's costs compared to other townships in the region. He supported the idea that the state could step in and investigate any potential abuse in Calumet township, or identify if there's a serious need for help.
"I'm very sensitive to what happens in my neighborhood," he said. "There have been problems for a long time, and I think this is a chance for us to bring this to a closure. It's time for us to do something."
The bill will head to a conference committee before it goes to the governor's desk.

Today has been an amazing day for this country. It somehow feels like a gust of fresh air in this very uncertain time in history. I am aware one single man cannot change the world or magically make everything better, but at least there is hope and many times hope is the only currency that can keep us going.
But now turning to what this blog is about, food, I present to you these crepas enfrijoladas (crepes with bean sauce) that were inspired by my friend Adriana of Madeline Cocina. She made egg tacos with a bean salsa, something that my mom makes and calls enfrijoladas, which literally means "in bean sauce".
However, I made crepes stuffed with scrambled eggs instead of tacos and used a variation of this bean sauce. The crepe recipe can be found here. For the sauce I blended 1 cup of cooked pinto beans, 1 cup of diced tomatoes, 1/2 onion and 2 garlic cloves. I then seasoned and cooked the sauce over medium heat for 15 minutes and served it over the crepes with cream and queso fresco.
It was a very easy and delicious breakfast I had this morning before sitting down in front of the TV to witness history. What did you have for breakfast today?

A variety of Kasha whole grain cereal and strawberries. Very mundane…but I made up for it at lunch and dinner! Yours looks very good. It was a great day, wasn't it?!
Mighty fine breakfast!
Breakfast was peanut butter toasts & coffee. I love yours. Yes this is a great day in history.
I'm jealous, I had a cup of coffee, and had to try to listen to a radio broadcast while at work
Looks a lot fancier than our daily oatmeal
for me breakfast was homemade muesli rolls. I enjoyed watching the ceremony, but it was late afternoon here so had to finish by listening to his speech on the car radio as the timing ran into the kids taxi service time! I watch and listen with great interest to the future politics of your country!
Oh, this looks so delicious, Ben!
This looks great! I'm not that motivated in the morning but I'm thinking this would make an awesome lunch!
This sounds like a really tasty breakfast! (I had shiitake and spinach miso soup with nattou on brown rice for breakfast this morning.)
Great looking brekkie Ben!!!

Man Faces Murder Charge for Shooting in Baxter County in November

The Baxter County Sheriff's Department arrested a man for the shooting death of another man last month. Johnnie Baker, 47, faces a murder charge for the death of Dennis Chapman, 65. Both men lived in the Salesville area.
KY3 is reporting the shooting happened in Norfork on Nov. 12. Chapman was shot in the face.
Investigators say Baker first told them the shooting was accidental, claiming the gun discharged on its own. Investigators later determined the rifle that Baker used in the shooting could only be manually manipulated in order for it to fire. Baker was arrested without incident. A judge set bond at $100,000.
