I'm back!
My computer has been really acting up. All day long it goes offline and then comes back on. I have spent hours and hours trying to figure it out. I can't even tell you all the things I have tried! But anyway I just wanted to let people know this and also tell you that I appreciate everyone of my readers and friends. How is everyone else doing? The weather is starting to change around here and
I'm sure it is where you are also. Well at least I have some really great books to read. I just got one today from my friends at the Cadence Group. The book is Changing The Conversation: Transformational Steps to Financial and Family Well Being. I've looked through it real quick and I'm going to enjoy reading this one.
I also got a book from the Goodreads book swap. I told you about them in an earlier post. Anyway it's one I wanted to read, Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison. Maybe some of you have already read it.
Anyway I'm really happy to add that soon I'll be adding my own books to swap at Goodreads. I've been out of ink for my printer, you probably know how that goes. I had ordered some from Amazon but had to reorder again from another seller there. The original seller couldn't fulfill the order as they had an emergency at their warehouse. As if I didn't already have enough to think about! Oh well, that's life. I did get it re ordered although I am still waiting for a refund from the ones w/ the emergency.
Oh..whew! I have so gotten behind on some book reviews but I'm hoping to get on it real quick!
Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday! See you soon!

Hey Lauren! The answers to the Bible challenge have been posted tonight. How did you do? I'm glad you said that about your Bible. I like to hear that Bibles actually get used instead of collecting dust. I'm in the middle of trying to finish a book that I started for a review, but I have too many distractions unless I wait til after hubby goes to bed. Not to mention the fact if I really want to remember what I read, for some reason I have to read out loud which would drive my hubby crazy if I did that while he was still up. Luckily he sleeps the the "dog house" outside, so I can make as much noise as I want to and it won't bother him. Yes, I said "dog house". No he isn't in trouble. That's just a pet name we call his room that he added to the house only it's free-standing. It was originally going to be a screened-in porch, but he acquired some windows, and the owner of the house came over one day and offered to by paneling, floor tile and ceiling tiles, so now it looks like any other room. It even has a ceiling fan and a heating/cooling window unit, so he's happy as a lark out there. By the way, that book sound like it would be some "heavy" reading. Don't stress your brain too much, reading is suppose to be enjoyable. Haha! This coming from someone who just admitted thst she has to read out loud to comprehend what she reads! LOL! I think its because my eyes are so bad that if I don't read out loud, I tend to skip lines and that really messes me up.
God Bless!

Tomorrow I leave for Madrona, the high holy fiber arts retreat/playtime.
I've saved money for two years to be able to go and I am quite excited, like the days before your birthday when you are 6, excited.
I'll be there late Wednesday and I leave mid-day Sunday. So far I have packed 5 knitting projects and 2 spinning projects. I thin I'm a little light.
Here are the classes I'm taking:
- Photographing your Fiber with Franklin
- EPS System with Amy Detjen
- Handcarding with Carol Rhoades
- Recycled Yarn with Judith McKenzie
I have left Friday completely open, no classes – nothing, just playing/knitting/spinning time and shopping. Any tips on eating/playing/shopping in Tacoma are appreciated!
Did you notice I have a spinning class? That means I'll have to take a wheel. So far, I've been a fan of the Schacht Sidekick as a travel wheel – it slides into tiny spaces when my car is packed.
But I really love this:
That's a 27″ Samsonite wheelie suitcase – look at all of the room left over. I can even bring clothes.
I borrowed the suitcase from Beth – the Sidekick Suitcase Saga is here on her blog.
Tune in next week for the Madrona report.

Who Really Owns Estes Valley?
To The Editor:
Is it the developers who will do just about anything, if they can make enough profit on it? Is it the builders who feel if something is good for them, it is good for Estes Valley? Or is it the residents of Estes Valley? Is it the people who live here, vote here, and pay taxes here?
Majority Rule has been popular in our country for several hundred years. It means the people decide on major issues and we all do what is best for the most people. Now the Estes Planning Department comes up with the ADU (accessory dwelling unit) concept. As proposed, it would allow each of your neighbors to put a 1,000 square foot shack just 15 feet off your lot line. What if it is in the middle of your best view? Well that's okay as long as it is not more than 30 feet high. When you drive through the Estes Valley, try to visualize an extra building (the size of a large cabin or small house) added to almost every piece of property in the valley. Yes, the developers would love it. Yes, the builders would love it. But, what about you? You are part owner of this entire valley. You are part of the majority. What do you want this Valley to look like in 5, 10, or 15 years?
The Town receives 75% of it's income from tourists. The remaining quarter comes from the taxes you and I pay. The ADU concept is an obvious ploy to create more taxable structures in Estes Valley.
Yes, the Town of Estes needs money to run the town functions, but are we willing to destroy the beauty of Estes Valley for a little more income? How many tourists will come to Estes to see a town that looks like any other "inner city?" We need to make our town, and the entire valley, more attractive and inviting to tourists. Or should we ignore 75% of the town's income?
If you have an opinion on ADU's, join your neighbors at the Planning Commission meeting, February 17, at 1:30 in the Town Hall. We would love to hear your opinion.
Bob Trump, Estes Park resident

VW Touareg Maintenance and Repair
lawboy Posts: 9Hi, just got a 06 V8 and so far only used Premium Gas; saw note from previous post about using only Shell or Chevron for optimum gas mileage; what about performance and wear and tear on the engine; is it best to use Premium gas from Shell or Chevron only, or can I use Premium gas from any station??? also can I use lower grade fuel or should I always stick with Premium; any thoughts would help
Thanks -
cat3126 Posts: 43I have only used Shell or Chevron premium because they are the only ones that I know that do not put ethanol in their premium. I live in WI where
we have restrictions on our fuel composition ,most others use large %of ethanol to get in compliance.
I have never used less than premium in my T'reg. -
shaver Posts: 18I was not aware of the ethanol and am guilty of using any brand. I have tried the 87 octane but after the first 4 tanks the car noticeably did not perform well and we have since only used 91 octane. The news just reported this week that fuel prices will be going up substantially do to the elimination of MTBE and the replacement with ethanol which will create an ethanol shortage.
lawboy Posts: 9I just got the 06' V8 with single CD player; no cd changer in trunk yet; was thinking I would rather get Satellite Radio; any tips on the least obtrusive and effective method for doing so; I do not wany any outside people installing anything for fear of giving VW an excuse later on to beg off the warranty; p.s. My wife has Sirrus in her car and I believe I can join on the same membership just have to figure out a way to install in my car; appreciate any thoughts and this forum so far has been really, really helpful
thanks again -
yanni2222 Posts: 1My father-in-law just sold me his very low miles 2004 Touareg, and he bought a new 2006. (Both V8's) I have always told him to use Premium when he owned the '04, and now the '06. I did use 88 octane once, and because I'm in Salt Lake City, the elevation doesn't affect it a lot, but power difference was slight. The reason Chevron is great to use is that VW / Audi Service have praised Chevron's Techron fuel system cleaner that's in their gas for years. This helps your engine run better by controlling carbon build-up.
Ultimately, you can use lower grade gas if you drive the car at an elevation that is so much above sea level. -
panzer Posts: 125hmmm. Squeeze you in! You spent $40k on a new car, have a problem like that and can't get in. Be assertive or find another dealer and don't look back. My dealer would pee his pants to help you out. Drive into the service line, ask to have it looked at immediately or ask for a loaner and leave it. Smile and be nice. If they don't go for it with a smile on their face, don't ever go back, and tell your friends.
panzer Posts: 125It'll run ok on regular, you may not notice the performance difference, except for slightly less gas mileage, maybe 0.3 to 0.5 mpg. I've tried long periods with both regular and premium gas. I prefer Shell premium, which I use almost exclusively because I get 5% back and they have $2 coupons in the paper every week. In Colorado, all gas has lots of ethanol, even Shell. I sure miss real gas.
What is compelling though, is that the engine adjusts to lower octane by making the mixture richer, which explains the lower mileage, but it also seems to make more carbon deposits in the tailpipes, because combustion is less efficient. I can only imagine what's accumulating in the head. I'm guessing that's only a problem for people that plan to keep them past the normal lease period. If I was leasing it, I would run regular for 20 cents a gallon less. -
panzer Posts: 125Gas in Salt Lake (and Denver) is formulated for high altitude, and is a couple of octane points below gas sold at sea level. That does not imply the quality is less, just adjusted for the reduced octane requirement at altitude. Use premium or at least mid-grade if you care about your car. Use regular if you don't plan to keep it for the long haul. Also, I don't know if the warranty is affected by using regular gas as a habit.
jlcjr Posts: 4I have a 2005 V6 Toureg and haven't even owned it for a year. I have 15k miles on it and the tires already need replacing. I have rotated them every 5,000 miles. I called the dealer and they said that they have had major problems with the Dunlop 8000 series. Some people have had as little as 12k miles on them before they had to be replaced. Volkswagen said that they would replace ONE tire! What a slap in the face. I paid close to $40k for this car and they won't stand behind the vehicle. Customer service is why VW will never make it into the luxury market. Anyone else had this problem? Did you get a different solution? If so, how?
madvw Posts: 1I had my 2004 Touareg for 18 mos and have also rotated them accordingly to VW recommendations. My tires went bald and slid in the rain and I rear ended someone. VW will not replace any tires and it turns out there was a problem with the automatic 4 wheel drive. The tires are to adjust automatically, and they weren't. VW would fix that but nothing else. Not to mention the outrageous amount of gas I was putting into it because the 4 wheel drive was burning it up. Then they had the nerve to charge me $93.00 to reset a faulty air bag light.
shaver Posts: 18I replaced tires on my 2004 T-Reg with Michelin Cross Terrain that are specifically designed for SUV's and they come with a 65,000 mile limited warranty. I do not know if they are rated for 140 mph but I do not see that as an issue here in the USA. We have winter from Oct to May and they are good in snow and ice and have a smooth and quiet ride. I had the same problem with the air bag light and it was covered under warranty. Thanks for the tip on the 4 wheel drive that may not be disengaging as my gas mileage for a six cyl is only 15 mpg.
spresso Posts: 2I bought the Touareg at a dealership out of state, attempt at a lower price . Turns out the dealership in my home town fit me in quickly, provided me with a loaner and sent me home with a clean Touareg (still with less than 2k miles) that ran better than when I bought it. The coils and spark plugs were rotting due to a less than stellar steam clean of the engine. All of this deserves thanks to the dealer where I purchased by T-reg. All is well again, thank you for your advice, panzer. I've sent my (less than happy) regards to the dealer in OR where it was purchased...doubt it will make a difference, but figured they should at least know! I'm loving my Touareg again. :-D
carlob Posts: 5I have a 2004 Toureg and at 22,000 miles I replaced all 4 tires. Incredibly without me even noticing the back tires went bald at 26,0000. Less than 4,000 miles on them. The front tires are fine. Obviously the dealer was shocked and told me I must have bent the axle. He has had the car now for over 24 hours and seems to be perplexed, so obviously there is no evident damage. They are looking at alignment problems, as described in this forum. I have also had the hesitation problem described in this forum and it is very dangerous. Does anyone have thoughts on how two new rear tires could wear almost instantly?
carlob Posts: 5I thought I should give an update on my original post. The dealer has had the Toureg for 5 days now - they are giving me two new tires for the rear. They are waiting on a special tool that they did not previously have to tighten something in the suspension. I wish I was mechanically inclined to questions these guys better but apparently when they installed the new tires something was not tightened properly. In a vehicle that is already tough on tires it does not take much to wear these tires to bald. I hope this info helps current and future buyers of the Toureg.
hekmo Posts: 1I have owned my Touareg for almost a year now, and the day we bought it, I noticed a "skipping/knocking" feeling as I make tight radius turns to either side. The dealer said that this was because it was all wheel drive and said it was normal. I talked to a friend who has an 04 touareg and she said that she didn't have this problem. Anyone else notice this problem?
cat3126 Posts: 43If you go my post on replacing the the rear differential stepper motor,one the symptoms of a failing stepper motor is the knocking in tight radius turns. You can minimize the knocking, by as you are moving flick the low/high knob(the right knob on the consul)momentarily to low and back to high. Eventually you will have have the stepper motor replaced. The clunking causes excess rear tire wear. Do not let your service advisors give you the bull thats the way it is.The part # of the stepper control motor is oad-341-601-c,. The warranty cost to VW was $ 918.00.
shaver Posts: 18I have a 2004 6 cyl that has a rattling noise that sounds like it is coming from the engine. Although not loud, the best that I can describe is that it sounds much like a lifter in older engines. The rattling is most predominant when the RPM's plane before the transmission shifts. The dealer thought it was a heat shield vibrating (wasn't) but otherwise has no answer. This is my 1st VW and some makes such as the Jeep in-line 6 are noisy so I am OK if this is the nature of VW. Any comments or experience? Is 15 mpg standard for the 6 cyl? Thanks
carlob Posts: 5It is now Tuesday a full 8 days later and the dealer has not yet been able to install 2 new rear tires. Excuses range from how hard it is to determine if the car is in alignment to they need a tool from Germany to fix the car. Any person buying this vehicle after reading all these posts would have to have their head examined. I know I am going to have mine examined for buying the damn thing. If you want an SUV buy one known for toughness, if you want performance get a performance car. Don't ever believe you can combine the two.
mdrivero Posts: 24I have a 2005 T-reg V-8 that have one of the headlights not working properly. I took it to the dealership and they are replacing them with a YELLOW light instead of the one that came from the factory because according to them, Volkswagen replaced the part and now they do not have the white-blueish xenon. Does anyone knows something like this? Is this true? It is hard to believe it. Please any inputs will be appreciated.
Thank you. -

docsok Posts: 1I have a 2004 Toureg and they replaced all 4 tires at 18000 miles after they were worn. I demanded this from the National VW reps and they complied. Having said that, I have had multiple issues with the VW most of them in the electronical dept.. .i.e tire pressure monitor and Lighting. Very frustrating, I like the vehicle but the service and problems make me wish I had purchased something else. I am currently considering getting rid of the vehicle and buying an acura RDX.
:mad: :sick: -
gsotig Posts: 8I have a 2004 and did the same thing at 18K. Currently at 34K the tires are supposedly perfectly aligned and balanced and I'm sure they won't see 40K. Had several problems with the electrical also, along with AC. I was told I needed new rotors at 33k. To top it off, it broke down a few hours ago and I had to be towed into the dealer - bushing broke in the rear drive shaft. My advice would be to dump the vehicle if you can and avoid a lot of future headaches.
mcmuney Posts: 64My battery just went out yesterday, out of the blue. Just found out that nothing works when the battery is dead. I couldn't take the key out of the ignition, nor could I put the car in Neutral to move it. Is this how it is? Anyhow, after some time, I just started the car to find some type of an error (that displayed on the display) relating to the differential know (it was quick), but it disappeared when I turned off the engine and restarted. However, I had no sound on the radio, cd or nav for the rest of the evening. I thought maybe it requires a re-activation since the battery was jumped, but I didn't notice anywhere to enter a code or anything. Is this strange?
pissatlover Posts: 1We are thinking of purchasing or leasing a Touareg but we are wondering if anyone has had experience in towing a boat and trailer with one. We have an 18 ft bow rider that we tow all over. Presently we have a Ford Expedition which is okay but we love our Passat so much we thought we would try the Touareg. Any comments out there.

To Your Health: Seize opportunity with back-to-school physicals
By Dr. Roy Bardwell and Dr. William Campbell July 23, 2013 3:54PM
Dr. Roy Bardwell
Updated: August 25, 2013 6:09AM
If your child is entering kindergarten, sixth grade or ninth grade, or has just transferred from out of state, he will need a school physical.
These mandatory exams are an opportunity for children, parents and physicians to explore the many factors that affect a child's health.
At school physicals, doctors complete an extensive checklist, including vision and hearing screenings; examinations of the cardiovascular, respiratory, endocrine, gastrointestinal, genito urinary, neurological and musculoskeletal systems; and a spinal exam. Screenings for potentially life-endangering conditions include TB, lead, diabetes and body mass index.
It is an important tool for identifying and tackling many health issues early on.
In the case of childhood obesity, we can provide counseling to parents and the child regarding exercise and proper diet. Often, parents are unaware that their child should be avoiding high carbohydrate intake, sugary juice boxes and high-calorie snacks.
The role of family history in your child's health is addressed at the physical.
For example, if there is a family history of diabetes, we can help guide your child to a healthier lifestyle now, when it can make a big difference. It's important to note that kids today are growing up with a huge sugar load. As a result, we are seeing much more type 2 diabetes sooner than the classical presentation.
Depending upon your doctor, the school physical can include developmental assessment.
More and more physicians are doing a better job of looking at the complete person, rather than just the physical body. Cognitive screenings can indicate if there are learning deficits and facilitate early intervention. Guided by the screening results, a child can be referred to a psychiatrist or learning center that can help them with a particular disability.
On the behavioral side, the doctor may seek to learn if there is discipline in the household, if your child feels comfortable with himself and has good relationships with other children, and whether or not your child is active either in sports or in an after-school activity. It's an opportunity for you as a parent to be engaged and know what and how your child is doing, within the objective context of a doctor visit. For many parents, these conversations provide reassurance that everything is fine.
For sixth- and ninth-graders, the doctor may use the physical to educate pre-teens, teenagers and their parents on the topic of sexually transmitted diseases and sexually transmitted infection prevention. It's a good time to gather advice and information about these as well as the Gardasil vaccination, which helps prevent human papillomavirus (HPV), a cause of cervical cancer.
One of the most valuable functions of having physicals at these regularly scheduled intervals is that they provide continuity of care. They give the doctor a wealth of background information on your child, enabling him to more quickly assess future issues that may arise.
Because doctors usually only see children when they are sick, these well visits also help to strengthen the doctor-patient relationship. Nurturing this relationship builds a level of trust and comfort, so that when there is something wrong, your child will be more likely to seek medical attention.
The doctor can help your child to establish a health-conscious mindset, with a focus on eating the right foods and exercising.
The new school year is right around the corner, so it's best not to put off scheduling your child's physical.
Be sure to bring his immunization records with you so your doctor can verify them on the Certificate of Child Health Examination form.
Make a list of any questions or concerns you may have, and be sure to encourage your child to discuss things openly and honestly with the doctor.
Bardwell and Campbell are Franciscan Physician Network family medicine physicians practicing in Homewood. Franciscan St. James Health is a member of the Southland Health Alliance.

This notice came from the Department of Agriculture today.
During an inspection at a business in the Bangor area on August 18, 2004 daylily rust was identified on plants originating from Imperial Nurseries facility in Florida. This marks the first find of this disease in Maine. Daylily rust was first detected in the southeastern region of the US in 2000. Previously it had only been found in Asia. It spreads quickly and in 2001 was identified in 30 states. The plants affected in Bangor included the varieties 'Houdini', 'Summer Wine', 'Cherry Cheeks'; and 'Catherine Woodbury' all coming from Imperial Nurseries. We have contacted Imperial Nurseries; they had one other shipment of suspect daylilies to Maine. Upon following up on these plants, we have found that they are not exhibiting symptoms of daylily rust. Varieties vary
Symptoms of daylily rust to look for include: Orange to yellow raised spots on the underside of leaves, leaves with yellow to brown streaks, yellow spots on the surface of leaves and in severe infections leaves turn yellow and dry up. Attached is a link to more information on daylily rust and what to look for when scouting your plants. As ever, please feel free to contact us at 287-3891 or via email with any questions concerning this or any other plant related issue. For more information:
Sincerely, Sarah Scally

That's too bad, but I wonder if those southern plants were just shipped this year? I have heard that daylily rust is incapable of overwintering here due to the cold. If that grower in Bangor has had those daylilies in the ground for over a year, I am curious if they had rust last year. The ME dept. of ag. doesn't mention that rust spores can be killed overwinter, so maybe the jury's still out. I really hope that this isn't something that takes hold here, because daylilies are one of the few hardy plants that are fairly disease- and pest-free. |

what is the treatment or are they just thrown out? |
Daylily rust doesn't overwinter much past Virginia. It's almost a non-issue in the northern states. |

I understand that Imperial supplies to all the Homedepot and walmarts in our area. But as Suenh and veilchen suggested that the rust disease doesnt winterover...it sounds harmless enough for our neck of the woods. Another plus for living in Maine! |

Cape Flattery, WA | |
In March of 1778, Captain James Cook visited the waters off the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula. An opening along the coast had "flattered" Captain Cook into thinking he had located a harbor or passage, prompting him to name the place Cape Flattery. Captain Cook noted in his logbook: "In this very latitude geographers have placed the pretended Strait of Juan de Fuca. But nothing of that kind presented itself to our view, nor is it probable that any such thing ever existed."
In 1788, Captain John Meares, one of several explorers who managed to confirm the existence of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, visited a small island a half mile off Cape Flattery. Meares encountered the "surly and forbidding" Tatooche, Chief of the Makah Indians who had been using the island as a summer base for hunting whales and catching and drying salmon for years. Meares reportedly named the island Tatoosh after the Chief.
A lighthouse is much needed also at Cape Flattery and I would recommend that it be situated on Tatoochi Island, a small island almost touching the Northwest extremity of Cape Flattery to vessels bound from seaward a lighthouse on this island would be of much assistance. It would enable them to enter the straits, when the absence of a light would frequently compel them to stay at sea until daylight. Congress allocated a sum of $39,000 in 1854 to construct both the Cape Flattery Lighthouse on Tatoosh Island and one on the New Dungeness Spit. These two lights were part of the second batch of eight lighthouses to be completed on the west coast. Although the government had paid $30,000 for all of the Makah's traditional lands except a small reservation at Neah Bay, the construction crew did not receive a warm reception upon their arrival. An outbreak of smallpox had killed several hundred of the Makah Indians in 1853, and the Makah were understandably reluctant to have more disease bearing "Bostons" around. The Indians continued to use the island during the summer, prompting the construction workers to build a blockhouse of rough-hewn timbers for protection, before beginning work on the lighthouse. One member of the work crew was always on guard duty, but other than a few missing supplies and tools, there were no problems with the Indians. Like most of the early west coast lighthouses, the construction plans called for a one-and-a-half-story, stone dwelling with a brick tower protruding through the roof. This design permitted the keepers to access the tower without having to be exposed to the possibly harsh weather that might exist outdoors. The tower of this lighthouse was taller than most of the Cape Cod style lighthouses and was also large enough to house a first-order Fresnel lens. The Louis Sautter lens, found to be too large for the Point Loma Lighthouse for which it was ordered, was first illuminated in the tower on December 28, 1857, two weeks after the New Dungeness Lighthouse. During the first years at the lighthouse, several keepers resigned due to poor pay and the miserable conditions they encountered on the island. A visitor to the island in 1861 noted the dilapidated state of the lighthouse. The roof leaked, moss grew on the interior walls, and winds blowing across the top of the chimney caused smoke to back up in the dwelling. In an act of nepotism, Victor Smith, the new customs collector for the Puget Sound District, appointed his father George K. Smith principal keeper in 1862. During his tenure, the District Inspector reported: "the light is in deplorable condition. He (Smith) has with him two assistants who are as ignorant as he is. They have got the light out of order and are unable to repair it." The inspector suggested the station should be opened to families so it would be "no longer at the mercy of the rollicking bachelors who have had possession since its establishment." The station would not receive its first family until 1885. In 1865, Victor Smith transferred his father to the new Ediz Hook Lighthouse, located closer to the younger Smith's residence in Port Angeles. A fog signal building with a twelve-inch steam whistle was completed on the island during the summer of 1872, along with a 33,000-gallon cistern fed by a water shed of 3,000 square feet to supply the necessary water. The whistle could not begin operation until sufficient rain fell later that year. In 1873, the lighthouse dwelling was described as "not fit to be occupied, as the walls are damp and moldy nearly all the year, and it is totally inadequate for the accommodation of the four keepers at this station." A new duplex, with six rooms in each side, was built nearby in 1874, and the rooms in the lighthouse were used for storage. When families arrived at the station, more living space was required, and the dwelling in the lighthouse was made habitable once again in 1894. Three years after the families arrived, the station's population jumped again when a weather station was established on the island. Though living conditions on the island improved over the years, it was still an isolated place. To supplement the lighthouse tender deliveries, the keepers hired local Indians to transport people, supplies, and mail to the island. The Indians received $1 per trip in calm conditions, and that sum was doubled if the seas were rough. One fearless Indian named Old Doctor lost three dugouts on the island's rocks while trying to deliver supplies. It is claimed that a piano and even a cow made it to the island thanks to the Indian delivery service.
The next story might be a bunch of , well you'll see. A seventy-mile-per-hour gale that swept across the island in 1921 sent keeper John M. Cowan tumbling across the island for some 300 feet. By tenaciously clinging to vegetation growing on the island, Cowan avoided being swept off the island and was able to crawl to safety. The Cowan's bull, equipped with only its hoofs, was not as fortunate and was blown off the island. The bull was listed in the station's log as lost at sea, but to everyone's surprise it managed to swim ashore and was rewarded with extra rations. Keeper Cowan arrived at Cape Flattery Lighthouse in 1900 with his wife and seven children, and another child was born to the couple four years later. For ten years, the Cowans sent their children to live with relatives in Portland so they could attend school, but the family was always together on the island during the summer months. The Cowans never left the island during that period, as they had to save every penny to support their children. A school was eventually established on the island, when the families serving at the light, radio, and weather stations had enough children to merit one. Keeper Cowan is credited with saving the lives of five people while serving at Cape Flattery. One of Cowan's rescues involved a boat that was traveling between Tatoosh Island and Neah Bay on February 18, 1911. When Cowan saw that the vessel was foundering in heavy seas, he set off in the storm to offer assistance. He managed to rescue two navy radio men, but was unable to save the three other individuals aboard the vessel including his own son Forrest, who was serving as his assistant. Cowan served at Cape Flattery Lighthouse for thirty-two years, leaving the station only because he reached the mandatory retirement age of seventy on October 12, 1932. Less arduous assignments had been offered to Cowan during his tenure on Tatoosh Island, but he turned them down preferring to remain on the island. The forty inhabitants of the island were in tears when the Cowans, beloved by all, left the island on October 18. A fourth-order lens with three flash panels replaced the first-order Fresnel lens in June 1932. A power plant consisting of three 2-1/4 kW, gasoline-engine-driven generators was also installed on the island that year allowing the station to be electrified. The use of a 750-watt electric incandescent lamp in the new flashing lens increased the light's candlepower from 13,000 to 300,000. A new double dwelling for the keepers was completed in 1935. The weather station on Tatoosh Island was closed in 1966, and its buildings were demolished. The light station was automated in 1977, and the island lost its last year-round inhabitants. A modern beacon replaced the tower's fourth-order Fresnel lens in 1996. In 1999, substantial maintenance and repair work was performed on the island's remaining structures. Windows and rotten beams were replaced, walls were plastered, smoke detectors were installed, and the fog signal was repaired. A fence was rebuilt around the cemetery, which contains the graves of two keeper's children, a reminder of the many people who once called Tatoosh Island home. In September 2009, a three-phase clean-up of Cape Flattery was completed by the Coast Guard. A thirty-foot skeletal light tower topped by a solar-powered LED light was installed on the island in 2008, allowing old generators and fuel tanks to be removed. The decommissioned Cape Flattery Lighthouse has been turned over to the Makah Indian Tribe, who control the island. Head Keepers: Francis James (1857 - 1858), George W. Gerrish (1858 1860), William W. Winsor (1860 1861), D. Wallace (1861 1862), George K. Smith (1862 1864), Jeremiah C. Floyd (1864 1868), Alexander Sampson (1868 1872), J. C. Floyd (1872 1879), Alexander Sampson (1879 1893), Charles W. Sheldon (1893), George H. Stillwell (1893 1895), Edmund Bailey (1895 1898), George G. Crawford (1898 1900), John M. Cowan (1900 1932), Arthur J. Woods (1932 - ), Richmond E. Umdenstock (at least 1940).
Located on Tatoosh Island just over a half mile off Cape Flattery, the northwestern tip of the Olympic
The fourth-order Fresnel lens used in the Cape Flattery Lighthouse is on display at the Museum at the Carnegie in Port Angeles. The museum is open open Wednesday through Saturday, from 1 to 4 p.m., and is located at 207 South Lincoln Street. The lighthouse is owned by the Makah Indian Tribe. Grounds/dwelling/tower closed. Notes from a friend: Kraig writes:Don't ask me how, but in our attempt to find the Cape Flattery Trail, we somehow ended up in the reservation's dump! Instead of wisely turning around, our driver chose to explore the dump a little, a decision we regretted the next morning when we awoke to discover a flat tire on our rental car. The views from the lookouts at the end of the trail are incredible and worth any adventure in getting there. See our List of Lighthouses in Washington |

Breakfast topic: Why didn't you tell me...?
* You don't have to wait for a portal, summon, or level 74 to get to Dalaran. Battle ports* work just fine, but you do have to get connecting flight points to make it useful.
* If you wait until 74 to go to Dalaran, don't run there to get the flight point. There is a quest that takes you there. If you do run to the Crystal Song Forest to get there you, will find yourself looking forlornly at a teleportation device that is no help to you at all.
* On the subject of teleportation, If you're Horde, you should really save the Goblin Transponder that you use to port from Booty Bay to Gnomeregan. It can help for raiding Ironforge.
* Beware of the Animal Blood debuff in Borean Tundra. You will be killed on sight if you go into the D.E.H.T.A. Encampment if you have that debuff. It took me two deaths to figure out why I couldn't turn my quests in.
* I'm relatively new to tanking, until about a month ago I clicked to set my marks. I had no idea that you can hotkey your lucky charms.
I'm sure there are still many nuances of the game I still don't know. Share your wisdom, what's something you wish you'd been told?

I came across these animal-inspired contact lens cases the other day and had to buy one. With three-dimensional heads that pop off the lens case base, this design is a great blend of form, function and fun.
The animal-inspired contact lens cases come in different colors and animals, from frogs to pigs, hippos, elephants and puffer fish. The daily routine of a contact lens wearer can grow tiresome, but these cases make me smile each time I put on or remove my contacts.

The reason this game is so difficult, is because using your jet pack makes you immediately begin to travel upwards. There is no realistic slowdown from gravity. There is no way to hit the thrust and time it to counteract gravity, making you stay at an even level. The part where I always die on (and I'm sure others agree) is where you have a very tight squeeze on the upper level.

Hi! I am new to FL and new to this forum. We just bought a house in Gainesville and I would like to plant a few nice palms. We really like Canary Island, Medjool, and Sylvester palms (in that order). Diamond cut is the main reason we like them. They all seem to be doing Ok here in zone 8. Can anyone recommend a good local nursery that will sell these palms and not charge thousands of $$? We want to buy a couple of fairly established trees (about 3-5 feet of clear trunk). It will probably be quite expensive, that's why I thought I'd ask for advice. Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
HD has a vendor, "tree town" that can get you Sylvestris, pindo, and a few others with nice caliber and good height fo about $150.00. Tree town has a nice website, but only sell wholesale. |
Thank you, wallisadi! I checked with HD but they are asking for a minumum $2,000 order to get those larger palms for me. I spent the day chcking the local nurseries and got the best deal from Mr. Good Tree (mrgoodtree.com). A Sylvester palm with 4 feet of clear trunk will cost me about $400 planted. Best deal I could find. I heard a lot of contradictory information about Phoenix canariensis vs Phoenix Sylvestris. Most people say that Sylvestris is better suited for Gainesville but several landscapers recommended Canariensis over Sylvestris saying they do better in the winter. Any thoughts? Thanks! |
I'd personally stick with the Sylvestris . A lot nicer color on the trunk and frawns . From what I've seen and heard the canary palms have more issues. Good luck! |

Label affiliate 813 recently dropped his free XOXO EP on Mad Decent's Jeffree's imprint, but the entire roster is flush with crazy producers, and their latest from Russia's Pixelord is incredible. As one of three label heads, the bar is automatically set high, and he flipped our expectations by delivering a nutty array of sounds that sit darker and deeper than the sea punk posi-vibes that his label is known for. Pixelord gave us thumbs up to give the title track out as a free download, and we're hoping you pop over Hyperboloid's Bandcamp to and cop the rest of the Portal EP if you're fucking with the single.

For binpkg, the approach I mentioned would remove the need to for tar to support xattrs- the same mechanism for the PM to tweak the perms would be usable. So no need for tar/bsdtar to restore xattrs- it's undesirable anyways since as I mentioned, if the cap couldn't be applied for whatever reason it would result in a chmod -s binary being installed. For src, I'd strongly be against restoration there. It just opens up way too many surprises- a simple example is a tarball carrying the immutable flag. Xattrs really should be specified by the ebuild (and applied by the PM) instead- far more controlled namely. ~harring

Common Names
European Free-tailed Bat (English), أبو برنيطة الكبير (Arabic), الخفاش الأوروبى حر الذيل (Arabic)
European free-tailed bat is a large strong bat. Fur on the upperparts of the body dense, soft, plush-like, long on neck, and paler on the underparts.

Status in Egypt
Native, resident.
Nocturnal bat. Insectivorous, feeding on moths. Lives in colonies of around 50 individuals. Flying high and fast, more than 30 km. The European free-tailed bat uses echolocation (at a quasi- constant-frequency calls with an end-frequency 9 to14 kHz) by emitting ultrasound from nose-leaf to detect prey. The breeding season of the European free-tailed bat takes place in January and female gives birth to a single young each year in June after a gestation period of six to seven weeks and reaches sexual maturity after one year.

This is my first Trigger Street review.
As a newbie I will focus on story and character and leave the technical formatting feedback to the more experienced.
I like one of the core ideas of the story: our pasts come back to haunt us.
How do the ghosts of days gone by affect our current relationships, family, work etc.
A modern twist on the Mayor of Casterbridge?
p60 brings out I feel a potentially very entertaining twist on the love triangle.
The hard rocker who now wants to settle down and treat Jen as a lady vs the family guy who wants to break out the inner
porn queen in her.
Nick knows he is a flawed character. You do that very well. The school talk was very well done and can be easily visualized on the
screen. He can see a more moral, clean living future. But just lacks the life skills and experience to put it into practice.
Dave has led the good life but his insecurities and the mid-life crisis on top of the discovery have burst the dam walls.
However, where I feel the story does not fulfil potential is it gets trapped in the Porn-Comedy merry-go-round.
What I mean by that is, it keeps coming back to the same joke.
The films Orgasmo and Zach and Miri Make a Porno have covered a tonne of this territory. Making mainstream comedy out of the
Adult Movie business. Just not sure if the porn comedy element can be carried throughout an entire story. That's just an opinion
of mine. Happy to conceed if others beg to differ.
Not sure if it was your intention but I was disappointed in Dave's character when he contemplates selling their private home
movies. This occurs at a time in the story when we really should be seeing something noble. Something for us to connect with Dave.
Sure, he has gone off the rails after the discovery. And understand there is payoff in the final act. But there is a real risk that
the audience may turn off Dave completely before this final twist. I believe you can still keep the knock out ending but instead of him
entertaining the idea of selling home movies, show another more admiring quality to Dave at this time of the story. Re-introduce the
home tapes into the story for the big payoff.
Overall, you create a good setup and there's an excellent payoff and ending. Maybe there are other unexplored
areas you can exploit with the skeletons in the closet.

We just had our granite (dakota mahogany) installed. The installers said the information on the sealer recommends against cleaning with ammonia based cleaners since it can dull the shine. Of course everyone says not to clean your granite with acid based cleaners. Anyone have a good cleaner to use since plain water tends to leave streaks? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hey there, I assume you're in NC...me too!:) I use the Method stuff from Target called "daily granite". Works great, smells nice. I spray it on, wipe it with a clean paper towel and then buff with a microfiber and my ubatuba looks fab! Good luck! I know someone mentioned mixing up their own stuff with regular alcohol and water or something like that. Maybe they'll chime in. Robin |
I use glass plus( I buy the concentrate and mix it myself). It contains no ammonia and on the bottle it says " perfect for granite". I also sometimes use granite wipes made by weisman. |
I use the "homebrew" of 50/50 water/alcohol. You can use less alcohol if you like (many do). Use a microfiber cloth to clean and one to buff dry. Every now and then I'll spray on a granite cleaner/polish product but for daily cleaning, the homebrew works great. Monica |
monica, is that just regular rubbing alcohol from the drug store? Thanks! |
- Posted by tarheeltime (My Page) on Mon, Nov 19, 07 at 21:44
Many thanks for the responses! rmlanza- no longer in NC, but I still watch lots of basketball games |
rmlanza, yes, 70%. |
I used diluted Simple Green and then do a quick sweep with a dry towel when it's dry to remove any streaks. |
I use soap & water, rinse and then use a microfiber towel to buff dry. I use the microfiber on just about everything in my kitchen since most things are either granite or stainless. You can get cheap ones at Old Time Pottery or for a $1 at the Dollar Market. Can't beat that! Christy |
cburch, when you start to notice that your beautiful granite is looking a bit dull, just not as shiny as it used to, it's the soap film. Soap is hard to remove and sooner or later will build up on your counter. Good news is that you can remove it. Monica |
I use 1C rubbing alcohol and 3C water and 1 drop Dawn for the cleaner for our Absolute Black granite. By the way if you have glass top tables this mixture works wonders on fingerprints and it is a fantastic window and mirror cleaner also. Can't get anything cheaper! Leaves the surfaces sparkling. JB |
I just use a damp microfiber cloth. If I'm feeling ambitious I follow up with a dry one. Same with all the other kitchen surfaces - I haven't purchased any special cleaning products (other than Barkeeper's Friend for cooked on crud on my range top) in over a year. Haven't needed to. :-) I buy my microfibers at Costco, in the Automotive section - 24 for under 10 bucks. |

I use Stone Care International cleaning products. Monika, My sister's granite is dull and she's been using soap and water. You said you can get rid of the soap film, how? Donna |
monicakm - I asked my fab twice and they told me both times to use soap/water - I asked the second time thinking I'd get a different answer.Or they suggested buying their $50.00 cleaning kit, but told me soap/water would work just as well. Then DH asked the installer and I did too, and he told us to both use soap/water. I do make sure I rinse it at least twice, getting rid of all the little "bubbles". How do you get rid of the soap film? JB - I might have to try that mixture. Would be easy enough to keep in a bottle under a sink. Do you put yours in a spray bottle? 70% alchol? Robin-D - I use Barkeepers Friend for my stainless sink and trash can. I have used it on my frig, but usually I just use stainless wipes on it. I follow everything up with a microfiber towel. Need to check the Autosection .... go idea! Thanks! Christy |
dburch/organic donna, it's hard to know what to use since the people we trust to install our granite all seem to have a different answers on cleaning products. It's crazy. Really, you just can't go wrong with a water/alcohol mixture. It's the only thing I haven't found negative reviews about. I don't know for certain what will remove the soap haze. It's been years since I read it on the findstone forum. Here is an excerpt from Maurizio Bertoli. Can't stand his holier than thou attitude but he knows his stuff :o He also sells a line of product so keep that in mind when reading his information. He sells a soap haze remover... Try to wash your hands with water and dish soap, then put them under running water and see how long it'll take for them to rinse properly. To have such a thorough rinsing (which is the only one acceptable) on your countertop, you should be using a garden hose! So, what happens if you decide not to use a garden hose to rinse your countertop? It's very simple: a very thin soap film will remain on the stone surface, even if you dry it with a towel. At the beginning you won't be able to notice it, but as you keep "cleaning" your countertop in that way, it will build-up and, within a few months, your beautiful stone won't be as shiny as it used to be anymore! Assuming that you can figure out what caused it (don't expect any intelligence from the "expert" who suggested that you use such a home-brewed concoction!), you will have to remove all the soap scum, that is now caked on your countertop, by using a specialized strong chemical. Here's the link to the entire page about glass cleaners and dish soap. I know steel wool is supposed to bring back your granite's shine but I have no idea how to use it, how difficult the process is or if it would work on a soap film buildup. |

Christmas Mass.
I understand the anger over church support for Proposition 8, which I also voted against myself. However, I wondered how many here who grew up going to Christmas Mass have kept up the tradition. I have noticed that people who don't normally attend church often do go to Christmas Mass so obviously the emotional tug of it is incredible. Do you attend?
all I can say is beer hurts when it comes out of your nose!

I went to Midnight Mass last night. The church was packed, the music was terrific, the homily inspiring and very relevant and practical for today's Christian. I will attend 10:30 AM Christmas Mass today with my boyfriend.
Having said that, I always think of the old Tallulah Bankhead story (probably apocryphal) of when Tallulah was attending Midnight Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral in NYC and the bishop was walking around the altar swinging the incense. Tallulah turned to the friend next to her who'd brought her there and whispered to him, "Darling, I love the dress, but does he know his purse is on fire???"

We go to a Break Away Catholic Church. On of the co-priests was excommunicated for marrying gays and ordaining women (the horror). The other priest is one of the ordained women. It's a lot of FARCs (Fallen Away Roman Catholics) such as myself and others. It was neat to be at mass last night where my son was in the pageant along with the children of other gay, straight, single parents etc. It was the family mass and there was a lot of "family" there.
So yeah, it's emotionally soothing and I'm glad we're able to go. But even at that while the kids go to Sunday School there and I'm more than happy to be a greeter for Sunday School, bake cookies etc, Christmas Mass is just about the only one I go to anymore.

C&G, is this breakaway Catholicism by any chance Dignity? I went to Dignity with a friend for a while because her girlfriend got ovarian cancer and left her after the girlfriend's family scared the girlfriend by saying that her illness was punishment for her "proclivities" and that she had better repent. She went home to Quebec and died there, and I had to keep explaining to people over and over and over that I looked healthy for someone with cancer because I was not the girlfriend but had a husband and did not have cancer. I just did not want Fran to be alone with her grief after she took responsibility for her girlfriend's cancer bills before the family scared the girlfriend away.
I am not Catholic so I don't really know how to behave when I get in the church. I just know that Dignity is for gay Catholics. The owner of a school, which I attended until it closed, told me that he was raised Episcopalian and that his church was full of ex-Catholics so that might be a good option for Catholics here who don't have anything like Dignity in their areas. |

There is a Dignity "Branch" here but this church is actually called Spiritus Christi and Broke from a Diocesan Church named Corpus Christi. Here is the beginning of the history of Spritus. It's pretty long.
History of Spiritus Christi Church Thirteen hundred people gathered at Salem United Church of Christ on December 24, 1998 to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ---and the birth of Spiritus Christi Church. All were members of Corpus Christi Church on E. Main Street and had experienced extraordinary events in the past four months. On August 13, 1998, Bishop Matthew Clark, under pressure from Rome, removed Fr. Jim Callan as administrator after 22 years at Corpus Christi Church. The Vatican had trouble with three practices dear to the heart of Corpus Christi parishioners: the prominent role of women on the altar, the blessing of gay unions, and the offering of communion to those who were not Catholic. The Democrat and Chronicle carried the news on the front page the following Sunday, which brought an extra large crowd to Mass that day. Over 1200 people came back to church that Sunday night to organize a protest against the bishops action. Night after night, the parishioners gathered in church to hear speeches from the staff and other leaders and to strategize about standing firm on the issues. The movement to keep the inclusive spirit of Corpus Christi alive was quickly termed the Spring Committee. (The name came from a Salvadoran proverb: You can cut back some of the flowers, but you cant hold back the spring.) The parishioners held weekly, police-escorted, candlelight marches from the church to Dimitri House, Corpus Christi Center, and Rogers House Restaurant. The youth group printed t-shirts and protested in front of the bishops office at the pastoral center. They requested a dialogue with diocesan officials. On October 15, Mary Ramerman was fired from her position as associate pastor. The diocese demanded that she remove her alb and stole and not go near the altar during any church services. She refused. She did not want to send a message that women were not holy enough to approach the altar or deserving of equal participation in the church. In protest of Marys firing, several women in the parish put on purple stoles, a symbol of womens ordination, and continued to stand at the altar week after week. On October 22, Fr. Enrique Cadena, the other associate pastor, was granted a leave of absence by the bishop for rest and reflection. The week after Marys firing, members of the Spring Committee organized a Tuesday night communion service for Corpus Christi parishioners who wanted to keep the inclusive vision alive. It was the first of many held weekly at the Downtown United Presbyterian Church, a congregation that soon became an important part of the new communitys future. Mary led the services and invited staff and parishioners to share their reflections. For my DP it's too big as she grew up in a small Lutheran Community in Northern New York and spend time in smaller pentecostal churches. But the children go to religious Ed there and we like the emphasis on Community Service, Social Activism and including all.

Hubby and I usually go to midnight mass but we did not make it this year. he's been working crazy schedules at work the past month or so and had ended up working a near 10 hour day Friday by the time it got to 11pm he was nodding off and simply exhausted from not really having weekends off for so long.
we aren't church goers, but we do our best to go to the main days in the year of celebration. I too find Christmas Mass to be rather spiritual; moreso than other times in the year. |

Seems the author of this article has bees buzzing in her bonnet. Or angry St. John's wasps. Republic of Doyle is good for our economy - whether you like the show or not. It employs local actors, artists and technicians, who then spend their salary in the city. The Rooms did the right thing by not saying who was going to be in the building and why. Maybe they didn't want to give away a story line before the upcoming season airs. Maybe they didn't want all the teenagers at the local schools camping out, trying to get a glimpse of Jake or other special guest stars. Maybe it was Republic of Doyle's request, not The Rooms. Regardless of the reason, if The Rooms is installing exhibits right now, then I agree with JR Smallwood, that this is the best time to close for a few days. Making this about government/politics is far out in right field. Don' t think the writer likes The Rooms much. She has editorialized, not reported the story in a balanced way. BOO!

Mary, I haven't worn a bonnet in years. And for the record, I am a columnist, not a reporter, and columns are supposed to reflect personal opinion, just as your comment does. I am a big fan of The Rooms and have never missed an episode of Republic of Doyle, but that's not the point. The column is about the private use of public space.

Republic of Doyle is an absolute boondoggle that costs Newfoundlland taxpayers a fortune. THe Rooms is a similar waste of money, which we do a "world-class" job of here. And like everything around here, no one wants to think about the immense cost, just the illusory and dubious benefits, until it's far too late and the money's spent. Let them rent the stupid Rooms at market rates if they want a snazzy set for their precious show...and stop treating this idiotic, expensive TV show like much more than the hugely....provincially subsidized, low-quality entertainment parasite that it truly is.

HD Digital Radio Ad Campaign Continues
Orlando, FL - Dec 4, 2006 - The HD Digital Radio Alliance, a consortium of U.S. radio companies that came together one year ago to accelerate the rollout of HD Radio, has announced a renewed plan to promote the technology. The Alliance's marketing plan includes a commitment for the participants to devote $250 million in advertising. This is an increase of $50 million from the announcement made last year.
The press release from the Alliance states that "next year's marketing campaigns will continue to support the success of a rapidly growing list of retail, receiver and automotive partners in the HD Radio marketplace."
Alliance member companies will continue to promote HD Radio and its FM multicast channels with manufacturing, retail and automotive receiver manufacturers. Currently, more than 1,000 U.S. radio stations transmit an HD Radio signal to reach 81 percent of the population. More than 500 of those FM stations are providing multicast services.
The HD Digital Radio Alliance members include ABC Radio in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, Beasley Broadcast Group, Bonneville International, CBS Radio, Citadel Broadcasting, Clear Channel Radio, Cumulus, Emmis Communications, Entercom, Greater Media and independent owner Jerry Lee.
Observation from Radio magazine: While the news from the Alliance is packed with glowing praise of the efforts of it members, the advertising campaign and its whopping dollar figure is still a marketing push that does not extend beyond terrestrial radio. The money allocated to the campaign is in the form of stations over-the-air inventory. No money is changing hands, and no promotion is being made on other forms of media.
Compare the HD Radio marketing push to satellite radio, satellite TV and media players, which have all used TV, print, movie theaters and online as part of their marketing efforts. These other emerging digital technologies have actually invested money into reaching a new audience.
