I upload photos from my phone directly to Photobucket. Makes life easier. I would like to get the pictures on my computer. Is there a way to move pictures from Photobucket to save on my computer? I can't find any information on it. I hope I can get the pictures as I have been deleting them off my phone after it uploads to Photobucket. Jane |

I don't think you can download an entire album yet but you can do one at a time. When you're logged in and viewing one of your own photos, there should be a download link on the right side of the screen under "Media options". If not, you can always right-click the photo and select "Save Image as". |
I would never trust my only copy of ANYTHING to the security and backup practices of or the continued availability of any website. Unless you're unconcerned about the potential loss of the files. The fact that you're puzzled to do a download somewhat contradicts your comment "makes life easier". Why not change the flow and instead move your photos from the phone to your PC and then to a website? Make a backup copy from the PC (to an external drive or card, depending on how much capacity is needed), then you have two in case of a failure. |

Well with the way photobucket has been lately it is much eaiser to use the phone app for uploading or at least that is the experience my friends and I are having as for a bit there was problems uploading from the computer. I so miss web shots. You used to be able to download a whole album but if you notice when you are in an album and click more in the upper right it's there but it's not available yet so hopefully they are working on it again. Mary |
You are right snidely, I shouldn't use the Photobucket App to upload the photos to their site. I can't find a way to get them off their site to my computer. I've tried all sorts of things. I thought it easier to just upload wirelessly to their site. I have an iphone and it takes time to download to my computer and then rotate them because the photos are always upside down. Photobucket presents the photos correctly. Guess, no free lunches! Thanks, |

I really like the app better myself. It's not a problem for me because on my android phone I have an icon that says back up so every time I take new photos they get backed up to the SD card in my phone for reloading if something happens. Then when I have time I send them to my computer. My whole phone gets backed up once a week or more so if I have to wipe my phone out all my games get saved at the level I was on when I reload them. Iphone must have some kind of back up don't they? Mary |
Jane, have you tried the vanilla ways of exporting your images? I'm a non-Apple user, but between itunes or a windows routine, there's something. Are you saying that's what results in upside down images? Do you take a lot of pictures? What would happen if you were to attach them to emails on the iphone, and then sometime later (to allow transfer time), you would try to download the images from the email drafts to your PC (using a browser connection to your mail provider)? Are they still upside down? If you take a lot of pictures, you need something easy and not labor intensive, I guess that's what you're saying. Crafty, on my android phone, the image files are saved on the SD card. If yours is the same, that's copy 1, not copy 2 (ie, not a backup). I don't use any backup software for my phone, but find that it takes just a few minutes every now and then to offload photos to my PC with a USB cord. I have a redundant backup process for all my photo files on the PC, so the ones off the phone just join in with what's done for others. |

Yes I know they are saved on the SD card but I have an icon that says back up. I click it and it backs up my whole phone to a file and it puts that file on the SD card, does that make sense? I restored my phone once to test it out. After I factory reset my phone I clicked back up and then I could click restore and it let me select that file it made on the SD card and it restored all my settings, photos and everything just the way I had it before I wiped my phone out, even my address book too and everything in my note pad as I keep a lot of notes on my phone. Also it backed up my games at the current level. If you are on level 200 of candy crush you do not want to loose that as it takes forever to get there again. If my phone died and I got another the same I could just put the SD card in and go to back up and click restore and select that file and the new phone would have all the same settings, background, notes and everything just the way I had it on the phone that died so that is why I like back up for me. I have my phone very customized and don't want to have to play around setting it all up again if something were to happen. I don't have to back up everything I can pick and choose so if I only wanted to back up photos I could but I do everything and I can make multiple back ups on different dates then just pick a date I want to restore too but I usually just over ride the one file every time so I have a current back up of the way my phone is. Mary |
"....does that make sense?" No, not if I'm following what you've said. Normally a backup means to have a second copy, in a second place, in case the device or the storage medium (or both) fail or become physically unaccessible. A second copy on the same SD card is not a backup - when the SD card fails (I had one fail last year), you've lost those files. "If my phone died and I got another the same" Sure but how likely is that? I just got a warranty replacement of a one year old phone. The "same" model was no longer available, so I got a newer model of the same make. I needed to set it up again, it took 15 minutes. It has a newer Android version and it appears that even the standard apps use different folders. Your "plug and play' analogy wouldn't hold true. Do yourself a favor, if it's the case that what you think of as your backup file is just a duplicate copy on the phone's SD card, copy it off onto your PC next time you have a chance. It's good protection and it's free. |

Oh I do have a back up of the file on computer as well as on a DVD. Believe me years ago when I was new to computers I learned to back everything up triple. Mary |
OK crafty, sorry if I misunderstood. I'm not sure you mentioned that you do keep "off the phone" copies, that's the right approach for files you'd rather not lose. |
When I download my photos to my computer, they appear sideways or upside down. When I copy them to My Pics I have to rotate each one. If I download to Picassa or Photobucket they always present correctly. I did some searching on the problem and it seems its a incompatibility between Windows and Apple. People say Windows does this on purpose. Who knows, its a pain. Jane |
Jane, which way is up if you email them to yourself and then detach them.? |
I can understand Jane's frustration, my sister sends me pics from Apple products and they are all on their side |
On the Photobucket 'Media Options' there is a download link, that works. But I'll agree with Chuggerguy above, easier and faster just to right click & "save as" to your computer. |

Yes but not to download a whole folder unless they added it finally in the last few days. On my phone so can't check. Mary |

Bernal Heights
San Francisco, CA, 94110, United States
Located in a Bernal Heights building that housed various neighborhood markets for most of the 1900's, Avedano's is an old-fashioned butcher shop that's also part takeout restaurant and part marketplace. The shop relies on local farms for its high-quality organic meats, including grass-fed beef, heritage breed pigs, and more unusual options like spicy Thai sausage. In addition to meat, Avedano's also stocks a wide variety of groceries such as coffees, olive oils, and sweets from nearby confectionaries. Prepared dinner specialties like Bolognese lasagna change daily, while lunchtime options include house-made soups and pressed-to-order panini such as steak with Gruyère.
Insider Tip:
After picking up a sandwich, walk down Bocana Street to Holly Park for a hilltop picnic amid views of the bay and surrounding neighborhoods.

Midsize Pickup Comparo
danielacosta Posts: 132Regarding Dakota: I seriosly considered Dakota, and especially liked its rear seat room. What made me choose Frontier over Dakota was Dakota's limited ground clearance (only 7"), and Frontier's better power plus better gas mileage. Yes Dakota tows more than Frontier (7,000 vs 6,500 IIRC), but drive the two back-to-back and you'll swear Frontier feels stronger.
dustyk Posts: 2,926The Frontier should feel "stronger:"
Frontier w/4.0 V6:
173 lb. ft. torque @ 4400rpm
vehicle weight 3675 lbs.
Dakota w/4.7 V8:
240 lb. ft. torque @ 4000rpm
vehicle weight 4261 lbs.
The standard 4.7 V8 in the Dakota makes more torque and slightly more horsepower at lower rpms. While a dealer test drive will undoubtedly produce a greater sensation of acceleration and speed in the Frontier, at load or towing the torque limitations of the otherwise excellent little Nissan motor will be much more clearly evident.
This was the point in my earlier post. Dodge has concentrated on satisfying the mid-size market segment with a truck that will be used more frequently for work. I'm aware (and I'm sure Dodge is, too) that this often works against them when the Dakota is compared to smaller trucks or crossover vehicles like the Ridgeline. Dodge is answering a market demand for actual commercial work trucks.
With the exception of the Ridgeline and SportTrack, in my opinion this attempt at comparison of each of the aforementioned vehicles is an apples and oranges conversation. None of the other vehicles under discussion can do what the Dakota can do, and likewise the Dakota cannot give you what some of the others can provide. By size alone the Dakota outclasses the Frontier and the Tacoma. The Ridgeline and SportTrack cannot do what the Frontier, Tacoma, or the Dakota can do.
By the way, for 2006 Dodge does have a high output 4.7 rated at 260 horsepower. Unfortunately, it requires higher octane fuel.

driver56 Posts: 408You got yer' specs. wrong Dusty.
A Frontier with a V-6 is rated at 265 H.P. and 284 lbs.ft of torque at 4000 r.p.m.
The V-6 King Cab averages out to approx. 4300 lbs. curb weight.
And I agree, comparisons are fine and dandy, but, they can only go so far. All these trucks have their attributes, their pluses and minuses, and they are all decent trucks in their own way. The rest is subjective. -
Kirstie_H Posts: 10,918Folks, let's avoid making personally-directed comments. With so many models under comparison here, it's unlikely that everyone's going to agree on which one is best, and not every preference is based on pure fact.

dustyk Posts: 2,926The source is me.
I was employed in the management of my company's fleet vehicles for a number of years. Begining in '99 we began purchasing F150s for our light pick ups, replacing our then current GM truck fleet. We phased in just under 100 by 2004 nationally. Currently we are down to 54 F150 nation wide.
Problems we have seen on the 4.6 Triton modular motor are:
*coil pack failures
*exhaust gasket failures leading to cylinder head or exhaust manifold replacement
*intake manifold cracks
*freeze plug failures
*head gasket leaks (coolant)
*spark plug spitting
*rear crankshaft oil seal failures
There are a collection of other problems, such as O2 and other sensor failures. These problems affected a certain population of vehicles, none of these problems affected all vehicles. But compared to our Chevys and Dodges the Triton motors have required a higher level of maintenance and or repair. In most other respects the pre-2005 F150s were pretty good vehicles. Our small purchase of six 2006s have revealed a drastic increase in total vehicle repair rates, unfortunately.
Our experience seems to match other fleet operators that I've talked to.

kipk Posts: 1,576That type of info is valuable. You got to view the "BIG" picture of a goodly number of vehicles, over a large area, over a long time period, driven by people that didn't pamper them.
How did the transmissions of the various vehicles hold up as the miles got high?
Did y'all have any Japanese vehicles in the fleet? If so, how did they do?
Kip -
dustyk Posts: 2,926Hi Kip,
We've had and do have some Asian nameplate cars and minivans (no trucks) in our fleet, but the number is very small. These vehicles are used by our service force when they are singularly assigned territories at automobile manufacturing sites. For instance, our service reps that visit Honda in Marysville, Ohio, are assigned Honda vehicles. Since the numbers are very small our results would be statistically invalid.
We've had Asian truck samples given to us for evaluation from time-to-time. Last year, for instance, Nissan gave us a couple of Titans to use for six months.
Our experience with transmissions on various vehicles has varied over time. If you are inquiring specifically about trucks, it depends on the model and year. The 4LE60 used in smaller engined GM trucks have been the most unreliable. The 4LE80 used in the larger engined or heavier models is the most overrated transmission I can think of. Not as bad as the 4LE60, but nowhere near the reliability that many people claim it is, at least by our experience.
The 45REs in our Dodges would be next, however we have selected Dodge as our only 4x4 supplier and we typically use them for plowing and other heavier work. So this may not be a fair comparison. The 46RE found in later RAMs was better. Our '03 and up RAMs all have the 545RFE. We have not had one single issue with any of these transmissions.
The 4R70s behind the 4.6 motor used in the F150 have been very good. The 4R100s in F250s have not.
The one thing you didn't ask me about was long term body condition. I remember how Fords rusted prematurely and very badly years ago. Our F-series trucks since '99 have been exceptional in this regard. Our Dodges have been just as good. Our GMs, however, have not. We have had perforation on GMs as early as five years. Rocker panels, rear wheel well lips, lower cab corners, and floor pans are typical weak spots. This really affects resale value when we turn them over. (Factor in piston slap and you can take a bath on a GM LD pickup!) And we're having the same issues on our Venture fleet.
Hopefully our newer GMs are better.

varmint Posts: 6,326For the number most commonly published for consumers, it's the distance from the floor to the bottom of the differentials. Typically, that is the lowest point for any essential hardware.
If you're serious about using a vehicle for off-road use, there are a number of other measurements you'd want to consider. -

2005lekc Posts: 145Well, if my memory serves me correctly the Tacoma was faster in the 1/4 mile runs and it
also has the best reliabilty rating.
In case you think I am a Tacoma driver you are wrong. I drive a Frontier, but we all have to face the truth when discussing these trucks.
Most of us make our selections based on person-al preferences. For me it was the price difference, the convenience of the dealer and the looks of the Frontier.
I could have been just as happy driving a Tacoma, but I just felt for me the choice was Frontier. I don't think the Tacoma would be a bad choice for any of us. In fact if they quit making the Nissans where else could we go?

Last time I checked, Tacoma was selling more than Fronty and Ridgeline combined. Guess what they do best is convince the majority of buyers of these three vehicles that it does what the consumer needs most, best. It may not be the fastest or the largest or the best looking in some people's eyes, but it is the best all around package for the majority in this group. -
driver56 Posts: 408The last time I checked, the Ford Ranger was still selling more compact trucks than anyone. Are they the "best"? They certainly are for some. The Tacoma is a good package, no doubt, but I couldn't say definitely that it is "the best" all around for the majority.
I must admit with the rising gas prices that the shine that I had for the Taco and the Fronty has died down a tad.
Both these trucks get poor mileage (the Tacoma is marginally better) and at nearing $5.50 a gallon for 87 octane here in Canada the m.p.g. ratings play an important consideration. And we haven't entered the summer driving season yet. -
eagleg Posts: 87I'm averaging 20.45 mpg (U.S. Gal.) with my 05' Taco D/C L/B V6-5spd.auto. in mixed driving.Not bad for a truck.Sounds like the Fronty,according to Edmunds test drive, is averaging something like 14.5 mpg.,that's too bad.Nissan claims 17 to 21 mpg.What's up with that.That must be measured at the flywheel, like the H.P..Don't you hate it when manufacturers are less than honest?Come on driver56,live the now,that Fronty is calling.Exhibit some Testicular fortitude and take the plunge.

moparbad Posts: 3,842MPG the truth.
In Edmunds testing the results were.
Frontier 16.10 mpg
Tacoma 15.4 mpg
Colorado 13.54 mpg
Dakota 14.87 mpg
Ranger 13.62 mpg
Frontier obtained the best mpg. No surprise.
Some Fronty owners are only averaging 11-13mpg,s that rots while my Taco gets 21.45mpg US all around thats the real deal, In your dreams sugarboy!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The article features ten responses from current or former Army company commanders on their views of the press. One cavalry officer sums up the attitude of many of his colleagues when he writes:
Here's a lesson I had to learn the hard way. Do not trust reporters to get the story right. Do not trust them to quote you accurately. Do not trust them by expressing your thoughts 'off the record.' I handled the media like I handled any key-leader engagement [KLE] in Iraq. I recorded our conversations and put them on the record. Now, while there are these downsides to talking with the media, you do need to ensure that the story of your Soldiers gets out. I am tired of hearing complaints that the media are not reporting all the good things we do downrange from the same people who refuse to interact with the media. The media are the ones who, warts and all, will showcase your Soldiers' actions. And those actions, warts and all, need to be reported. In the end, remember that reporters are using you as much as you are using them. Act accordingly and 'cover your six.'
The sentiment just about nails it, though, as with any other organization, it would be unfair to think that you can sum up the vast range of attitudes and viewpoints among members of the military on this or any other subject with a single quote.
So I asked U.S. Army Colonel Steve Boylan, the senior public affairs observer/trainer for the Army's Battle Command Training Program at Fort Leavenworth, for his thoughts on the military-press issue. Boylan, it should be noted, has perhaps more high-level public-affairs experience than almost any other active-duty officer, having been the spokesman for the U.S. military in Iraq from 2004-2005, followed by a stint as General Petraeus's public affairs officer in Baghdad from 2007-2008.
Boylan now helps teach career officers, and part of what they learn is how to deal with, and understand, the press. I asked him if he thinks that the episode will cause some officers to refuse to deal with the press. "I think those that understand the information environment, those that are knowledgeable on this and understand it will know that you have to engage the media," he said.
But he acknowledges that those who "have felt that the press is out to get us" will probably hold the McChrystal story up as an example of why they should ignore reporters, and those who favor more openness will say that the military needs to better understand the media and their expectations to ensure that it doesn't happen again. "And then there are going to be those that have been on the fence and don't really have a view one way or the other—they could go either way. And those are the folks that I'm more concerned about than anyone else. I've got to help them understand that engaging reporters, engaging the media, is not a want to do, it's a have to do."
The relationship between the military and the media will never be a comfortable one, nor should it be. The Rolling Stone piece—which was essentially an opinion piece wrapped up as a devastatingly candid profile—is just the latest illustration of that fact.

Quoted from BluesSinger Well we got some nice canned sardines from Vital Choicehttps://www.vitalchoice.com/shop/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=223recommended by someone on this board and they have been giving me acid indigestion. I mix them with rice flour, eggs, salt, green pepper, and maybe some cayenne and fry them as patties. i haven't tired them in a couple of months but now that my tummy is healed more, I may give it another go... love these.
Quoted from Adam Those with SWAMI's, check your Geno Harmonic section for sardines to see what you can combine with them for maximum effect.
Quoted from Spring I knew it! Just imagine chocolate and sardines!! Maybe some molasses would hide some of that smell/flavor. Dennis the Menace said that he could eat anything as long as it had catsup on it so maybe some of these crazy combos would work even for the taste buds! I suppose sorghum would classify as molasses, right? Nice, strong flavor, for sure! Or stir in some chocolate and pile it on those ol' smelly sardines! I gotta try this!! Maybe Dennis was right after all except we need other ingredients....
Quoted from Spring Ginny, I absolutely adore bok choy but have never even gotten a glimpse of any that was organic. And it, along with other greens, are on the "dirty" list now. I wonder if the stuff is hard to grow? And, yes, the combinations, neutral or not, give a very special whallop that I've learned too.
Quoted from Adam Spring, do you have any other citrus on your SWAMI that would work? Do you get white wine or beer?
Quoted from Spring I think the brand Victoria had mentioned would be good. But otherwise some of the most expensive I have tried are the worst. They must be packaged for really dyed-in-the-wool sardine fans.
Quoted from Victoria I even thoroughly drain those good Vital Choice ones packed in organic extra virgin olive oil, and add my own olive oil. Not sure why, just seems to be better in my system.Sardines packed in water taste more tough to me.
Quoted from Spring Yes, I can have grapefruit, but it is a big NO too, for now. I have tried it over and over again to see if I could tolerate it - maybe someday I can because I really like it and lemon too. Can't have beer. White wine is a neutral, but it has the same effect as the citrus. Corn played a big part in messing up my esophagus, and my doctor said I had scar tissue - that may be a big reason why I can't tolerate these things, and it may never get better. I keep hoping, though.

Canada might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of urban exploration in North America... however, each province is home to some of the coolest abandoned buildings, tunnels, and towns, giving adventurers a vast array of urban ruin to explore.
One of the coolest abandoned places in Toronto is the Lower Bay Station, a kind of holy grail for urban exploration within the city. Bay Station was officially in service from February to September of 1966, before being abandoned after only 6 months. In recent years the station has been used as movie sets, and has been the backdrop for photo shoots.
Built in 1906 the Beaux-Arts style station was built by the Electrical Development Company. The plant closed on February 15th, 1974, and was officially named a national historic site of Canada in 1983. Since then the plant has become a favorite spot amongst urban explorers.
This abandoned ghost town is an incorporated settlement and began as a remote mining town in 1918. In 2004 the ghost town was purchased for $7 million, and is in talks of being turned into a site for natural gas drilling.
Built in 1905, the bank of Toronto is one of the most beautiful abandoned buildings in the entire city. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most dangerous.
Uranium City was a bustling mining town until 1982 with well over 5,000 residents and over 52 mines in operation. On June 30th, 1982 most of the towns residents moved (aside from a very small group) from the area because of the closure of the town's main mine, leaving the small settlement abandoned.
Canada has so many unique and interesting historical abandoned locations, it's an urban explorer's dream come true, so don't discount it the next time you're thinking about leaving only footprints and taking only pictures. Just remember… explore at your own risk.

You know, if they would just quit playing the pious role, not run on "family values" in the campaign (there are other things they could run on--like Tax Breaks for the Rich--after all), not make such a big deal out of being holier than any Democrat out there, they wouldn't receive so much flack when they prove to be so flawed as human beings. There would still be charges of sexual misbehavior, perhaps sexual harassment, and such, so maybe it doesn't make much difference. They are LOSERS! Kate |
They are LOSERS! Kate, they will continue to be losers until they learn it is a new world and they cannot hide their true self. The information network is to wide to hide behind that shield of "family values" as they live the life of "Money Values" |

It's the double standard, the hypocrisy, the pretense of sanctimony, that always comes back to bite these idiots in the ass. If they'd just admit that humans are fallible, and stop trying to pull outdated religious "family values" along with them into politics and government... "family values" that they have no intention of being the example for... well, there wouldn't be such a big deal made about their duplicity when that closet gets too full to hold it all, and the skeletons start falling out all over the place. |

MinerMo is a classic level playing game MinerMo is pursued by two robbers and starts with 5 lives.
The goal is to achieve the highest score in the high score list by grabbing as many precious collectables as possible.
Stack of coal is worth 10 Points
Diamond is worth 100 Points
Mine cart with gold is worth 1000 Points
Hitting one of the robbers with the falling dynamite is worth 5000 Point
If you reach the level 1 additional life
How to move around:
The game uses the accelerometer from the iPhone. Tilting the phone down in the position you want to move does the trick.
MinerMo is free to dig in any direction and to create shafts to free up the precious collectables.
Digging a mineshaft below the dynamite triggers the falling of the explosive.
The falling explosive will not hurt MinerMo, but will kill the robbers if hit during the fall. A new robber will appear at the start position of the level.

2 pounds lean ground beef
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups water
1 onion, chopped
24 slices dill pickle slices
4 ounces prepared mustard
8 hamburger buns
i'll tell ya how to get 5 stars out of it. use chicken broth instead of water. after cooking the beef place worchestershire sauce and paprika in it too. also let it simmer for about 10 min to reduce down the chicken broth.dont put pickels on top put minced onions and some of the juice from pan. i promise its wonderful
I hate to say I didn't find it very special. Will not make it again

After having made this recipe a few times, my mother suggested using liptons onion soup with the water. She said she worked at maid rite years ago and that is what they use. TRUST ME IT IS FABULOUS!!! We love it with the onion soup it really ups the taste!
Almost need another star for this one! I grew up in Iowa and my favorite place to stop after school for a snack was the local Maid-Rite. These sandwiches are just as I remember those lovely Maid-Rites.
Recipe as written would have gotten 4 stars, when you make one simple change, you can't give it anything less than 5 stars. Try this before you say, ewwwwww. Instead of water, use Coca-Cola, not diet, regular coke - superb.
These are the spittin' image of the famous Made-Rites you can find in Iowa. Whenever we drive down that way, we always make a special detour just so we can eat these. How cool to be able to make them at home now! My husband requests these almost weekly. You wouldn't think something so "plain" would be so tasty - but they really are - and so easy, too! I like to serve them with parmesan-herb roasted potato wedges and a crisp green salad. You can also use extra lean ground turkey if you want to go the healthier route, instead of the beef. I saute the onion a little bit first to eliminate "onion breath". You can wrap the burgers in waxed paper if you want, just like they do at the restaurant. It helps keep all the good stuff in! Thanks, Carlo - your wife got it just right!
Very, very yuumy!! I followed the recipe exactly and put them on super soft hamburger rolls and me and my hubby could not stop eating them!! Defintely recommend!! :)
These are the Real Deal!!! Just like we remember from our good old days in Iowa...Can't get them in Nevada,but now we can have them anytime we get the urge... So good they disappeared in minutes!

Pontiac Bonneville Electrical Problems
santrellac Posts: 3
diytosave Posts: 6
craddox Posts: 1I have an 2003 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi and I love it! I have had a weird problem though. The traction stability sensor comes on every time I begin to drive the car, followed by the Check tire pressure sensor. I know the tire pressure is fine as I check them weekly. The traction control though can kick in anytime it wants and the car thinks it is losing traction so the auto-braking comes on, pretty scary when you passing someone on the highway and all of a sudden your breaks apply themselves especially on snowy or rain soaked roads. The sensor shows the messages all the time the car is running, yet the traction control is an off and on thing, you never know when it will engage.; Luckily I don't have to do much highway driving, mostly in town where any flare ups are simple to control.
I should mention that the drivers seat heater stopped working about the same time all of the problems started. Any thoughts or solutions would be appreciated. -
shortdogg Posts: 1I have exact same problem, now it kills the car too, the whole DIC suts off, then car dies. GM replaced something under the seat but then called and said its still doing it, need another 500$ to diagnose it again.I took it home. It starts when i jiggle the fuse box under the hood, but doesnt stay started. DIC says everything the above guys just said. My back drivers window wont close all the way so the carpet on the floor is always damp,.not a puddle, but damp. I have a 2000 Pontiac Boneville essi. I really dont want to bring it to anyone else before I personaly find out whats wrong with it. I dont want to be told theres a magical fairy under the hood again,.lol..
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,660Sounds llike your connector at the wheel for the wheel speed sensor is corroded and not making contact, good contact, on one of the wheels. Or you have a wheel bearing loose enough it's affecting the wheel speed sensor inside. I suggest you go to each wheel and disconnect the connector and clean and reconnect. Check each bearing for noise and for play. The in and out play should be less than 0.005 in. That's in and out along the axis of the hub, not the wobble test usually talked about on forums.
My first bearing that went out had given some odd signs before my tire place mentioned my hub was getting some play in it. They mentioned that the Stability System code would show in the DIC when the bearing move enough the wheel speed sensor lost count. I had parked on a slant at a garden store. And when I left the stability system was applying one brake as soon as I got up to 15 or so mph. I stopped car. Turned it off for a minute and then restarted and everything was fine. But still got an occasional Service Stability System warning. Replaced bearing with Timken from Autozone and all was fine. Then the other wheel bearing started doing the same thing ending in replacement finally.
If you don't find what you're looking for, you can pull the fuse for the ABS and disable it. But it is a safety feature. -
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,660I recall reading long ago that some Bonneville owner had a similar problem. He disconnected battery under seat and then went through the various fuse blocks under back seat and tightened connections including the clips that contact fuses. Same thing for the underhood relay/fuse block. He solved the problem. It may have been the actual bolts to the positive supply under the hood that helped. I can't find a stored link to that post from a few years back.
landpilot51 Posts: 7When my Bonneville was just going dead on me, it turned out to be the smaller power cable from the battery to the area above the firewall. I replaced that cable and we haven't had a problem since. On the traction control, it started happening after the CV joints were replaced, so I suspect the wheel sensors on that issue. It's a great car with a terrible electrical system. Sorry that Pontiac went out of business. Glad that GM dealers still carry parts.

jillchil Posts: 3I have a 1997 Pontiac Bonneville Anniversary Edition that sat up for about seven months. I'm a fix-it girl, so I decided to see if I could get it going. I got it to running easily by working on the battery, adding water, cleaning the terminals, and installing new posts.
The car has had a few electrical issues over the past five years. I think a seal around a door is bad, because the car stays damp inside, sometimes with water on floorboard that i have had to shopvac out (not heater hose--checked and is good). I imagine that the moisture is causing part of my problem. I'll list the problems below:
1) Headlights stay on even after car turned off, key removed, and will stay on until the battery dies. Not as in the twilight sentinel way, but as in they stay on until the battery is dead.
2) Radio/CD Player has issues of flipping around, changing stations, being unable to control from either the actual unit or the steering wheel controls.
3) Dash Panel was working as recently as yesterday. Now the speedometer and rpm gauges are messed up.
Even though the problems above exist (and drive me crazy--I have to unbolt the posts to the battery every day I go to work, grocery, anywhere, to preserve battery), the electric seats still work. The power windows work. The electric antenna works.
I'd appreciate any advice... if you don't mind, when you mention a place to look, be pretty specific, because I don't know everything by professional name.
Thank you so much--jill -
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,660The radio problem could be a result of corrosion on the ground busses on each side of front seat floor under carpet edge when you take off doorsill. It's about even with the front of the seat. The buss bar is wrapped in electrical tape.
Or it could just be the radio going bad.
The water problem may be the watershield plastic layer on the door over the metal. It's glued to the metal with a black mastic that looses its stickum. The shape of the mastic stripe is to lead water into the drains to feed bad toward the outside of the door. This is all under the inner part with the upholstery on it. The water comes in around the glass and drips down and is supposed to be kept away from the inside by the plastic layer. If not, you may find water tracks below the rubber seal to the inside of the door after rains that hit on that door when the car is outside.
The water may be from sunroof drains: got a sunroof? On the newer body in 2000+, they could break where they went through the floor and leak water inside.
I have also read about some few folks finding their intake for the HVAC that's under the plastic cowl with the slots in it when the hood is raised is no longer sealed. So rain water finds its way inside around the heater air intake opening.
The headlamps, well that's what I've been tryng to find my 98 service manual to look up. They may have retained power on your cars. Does it have the feature where inside lights, radio, headlamps, get turned off after about 12 minutes if you leave them on? That stays on until a door is opened or it runs out of time.
I believe that's controlled by a body control computer. I don't know where it's located, yet, til I find my 98 FSM to look it up.
And you may have a bad headlight switch with the twilight sentinel. I'm trying to think how that would bypass the retained power limit of 10 minutes because you say yours stay on permanently. I would think the retained power would turn the headlights and everything else off at that 10-12 minute mark.
And your two gauges now don't work. The Pontiacs had trouble with corrosion on the contacts where the gauge cluster slides into the contacts. And that may be from your water.
But the thing in the back of my mind is that the battery may not be up to snuff. Low battery voltage will cause some computers not to operate right. So I'd have the battery checked. The running down may have damaged a cell or just age may have damaged it along with sitting.
So I'd start with a known good battery. If there's one you can substitute for troubleshooting purposes that would be good for your efforts.
Other thoughts on leaks are that some Bonneville owners find water leaks on the trunk lid around the air dam if equipped and around the taillights. One even found a leak through the wheelwell housing inside the trunk due to corrosion and the tire slinging water while driving. He used aluminum metal to rivet in place and then sealed her up. But the point is check your trunk. -
jillchil Posts: 3You've given me a lot of good places to start. I'm getting on tis tomorrow and will let you know the results...
ETA: Will start with battery check with good battery.
Then will replace light switch.
Then will check out module under driverside carpet.
Then will pull radio to see if it's a corrosion problem.
I can do this!
Getting her ready to sale, so these are issues I want repaired so that the next owner doesn't have to fight it.
Thanks again, imidazol97 -
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,660The light switch needs to be checked electrically before replacing. You may be wasting money if you don't. The problem is it's in a circuit that complicated by having a body control module that may be bad--or may be reacting to low battery voltage or a bad ground.
The buss bars:
I'm still looking for my 98 manual with circuits on the headlights that may help. Or at least to find out where the body control module is.
I still recommend cleaning your battery connections for ground and positive, especially between the positive cables themselves. Clean grounds where small black wires go to the front fender from the battery connection.
And making sure you have a good battery in the power spot. -
imidazol97 Crossroads of America: I70 & I75Posts: 18,660Which headlights stay on? Brights? DRLs--dim brights? Low beam?
There are several parts to the headlight circuit. AND lots of pages of troubleshooting. It really needs to have a Tech II type device that can track what's turned on and off. There's a headlight switch. There's a headlight relay if your can has a certain option, which may be twilight sentinal. Thre's a MALL which is the control module.
One thing I'd suggest is see which lights are on.
See if it does it the same day or night (put a black cover over the sensor on top of the dash for the sunlight so it thinks it's night).
If you pull the dash pieces off to remove the headlight switch, disconnect the headlight switch and see if the headlights stay on under the control of another of these relays and small computers.
Did you check grounds? Loosen, clean, retighten?
Did you substitute a good battery to be sure you've got adequate voltage? -

edarr Posts: 1I have a 97 Bonneville and have been having the same problem others have had with the car stalling when turning on the rear defroster. I have cleaned the comb splice that is pictured on post #197 and also on #43. I started the car and the wires and the metal comb stay cool until I push the rear defrost button. Immediately the big wire in position A heats up and gets extremely hot. I did not leave it on long enough to stall the car. When I turn off the rear defrost the wire instantly cools back down.
Does anyone have a wiring diagram that shows what wires are running to this comb splice or does anyone have an idea of what is causing the wire to heat up. I have a feeling it has something to do with the ignition switch... with the battery connected and the key in the ignition the door chime sounded. When I unplugged the wire in Position a the chime quit. Any ideas...?

First Place: Ford F-250 Lariat Crew Cab 4x4
The Ford's menacing chrome-plated maw and husky big-rig styling make it look like an Autobot on the set of Transformers 3. Over-the-top machismo? Perhaps. But the beauty of this $59,475 Ford has nothing to do with its styling. As butch as it might look, this heavy hauler is really just about as good-natured and easy to live with as an F-150. The ride quality of our 7800-pound Lariat was incredibly smooth over any terrain. It not only rides better than any truck here, the new Super Duty glides over broken pavement better than some light-duty trucks. And that's surprising, considering the Duty still uses beefy solid axles at each end of the chassis. The secret? According to Chief Engineer Chris Brewer, eliminating two leaves from the rear spring packs along with re-tuned shocks. Equally impressive is the steering, which one could twirl from lock to lock with all the muscle of a single finger. Yes, some testers prefer steering with a bit more heft. But the usefulness of the featherweight effort was evident in both the tight city parking spaces and when backing our trailersit's a real fatigue fighter. On the highway that steering does have a large dead spot on center, but, hey, this is a pickup truck, not a Porsche.
Ford's outgoing, and outsourced, 6.4-liter Power Stroke was plagued with poor reliability. So Ford brought the operation in-house and created an all-new 6.7-liter V8 with a beastly 390 hp and 735 lb-ft of torque paired to a new 6-speed automatic. To meet the 2011 emissions requirement the Ford uses a 6-gallon urea diesel exhaust fluid tank that can last up to 7500 miles between fill-ups.
The new Power Stroke certainly packs a wallop, but at the track, the Super Duty ran a truck length or two behind the GMC in just about every speed contest. Yet away from the stopwatch, the two feel more evenly matched than the numbers suggest. The Ford's throttle response is razor sharp and the torque is nearly instant on. Better still, the Ford's diesel was the quietest of the three at full throttle, at idle or on the highway. Trailer in tow, we evaluated each pickup on a 15 percent hill gradient test. The Ford maintained a higher speed at the crest of that hill than any truck here. And on our towing fuel-economy loop, the Ford was thriftiest too.
Slide behind the Ford's big steering wheel and it feels like you've got a command center at your fingertips. The dash is expansive and useful with toggle switches ready to be wired up to your favorite accessories. The center console packs a hidden compartment and is reconfigurable to accommodate just about anything. And we dug the new Productivity Screen, a customizable system that provides checklists ranging from trailer and off-road setups to fuel-economy performance and the temperature of vital components. Smart. Flip up the rear seat and there's a handy lockable storage bin. And like Super Duties of the past, our truck came with unique features like the handy tailgate step, power extendable towing mirrors and even an electrically locking rear differential.
The new Super Duty may not be the quickest here, but a truck is more than just a motor. And it was the Ford's unmatched mix of comfort and smart, work-friendly features that helped it edge out the competition. There's a reason Ford owns 50 percent of the heavy-duty truck market.

Robyn & Terry, York
"We would highly recommend Carbon Neutral plantings to other land owners. Since the Carbon Neutral planting in 2008, we have noticed a marked reduction in both salinity and water logging. In addition the water flowing into our creek is now fresher and this will in turn mean improved water quality in the local river system."
Keiron and Shayne, Bally Bally
"Working with Carbon Neutral was great, the land is worth more now, it's just like a park. In just one year some of the trees are over my head. I believe in what Carbon Neutral are doing, putting the trees back into land that should never have been cleared."
Trevor and Barbara, Wamenusking
"Carbon Neutral is great to work with - they are professional and thorough and the site manager has been helpful and informative. It is a great way to get more trees in the ground and fantastic to have a partner who is helping us and sharing the risk."
Bill Parker, CEO, Shire of Jerramungup – comments from letter August 2009 in relation to a development application for tree planting:
"A number of councillors highly commended Carbon Neutral's application. Council particularly favours applications that utilize local species and designate planting areas in locations aimed to achieve sound environmental outcomes suitable for the specific attributes of the land".
Keith Bradbury, Director, Gondwana Link Ltd – comments from letter 31 August 2010
"Restoration of the Carbon Neutral property, as proposed, will consolidate the conservation land use of the area and provide more manageable boundaries for the interface between conservation use and agricultural use.
The Gondwana Link Project "represents an important social and economic diversification for the area, a process that can only be enhanced through the ongoing and closely linked work of Carbon Neutral.
The ongoing survey work conducted in the area by our member groups continues to underline the very significant environmental values of the Corackerup area. There is an increasing number of significant plant and animal species known to depend on the area, and the value of the larger areas of remaining bush is increasingly appreciated".

Enterprises around the world continue to gain the cost-saving and productivity benefits of migrating IT functions to the cloud, yet some outside factors are still inhibiting the full growth potential of cloud computing.
The Business Software Alliance, a global advocate for the software industry, recently published a study that analyzed 24 countries' laws and regulations and the impact of those rules on enterprise cloud adoption. The surveyed nations accounted for 80 percent of the world's information and communications technology market, the report said.
According to BSA's findings, Japan is the most cloud-ready country, followed by Australia, Germany, the United States and France. The study assessed each nation's laws and regulations for data privacy, cybersecurity, cybercrime, intellectual property, technology interoperability and legal harmonization, free trade and IT infrastructure.
"The true benefits of cloud computing come with scale," said BSA president and CEO Robert Holleyman. "In a global economy, you should be able to get the technology you need for personal or business use from cloud providers located anywhere in the world. But that requires laws and regulations that let data flow easily across borders. Right now, too many countries have too many different rules standing in the way of the kind of trade in digital services we really need."
While the United States ranks among the top nations for cloud computing, it's essential that countries work together to create a global cloud market with comparable rules, restrictions and standards, the report said. According to BSA, governments' cloud legislation should include stipulations that promote the free flow of data and commerce, improve cybersecurity and encourage interoperability between cloud providers, among others.
The report comes as numerous technology experts have recently expressed concern for security in the cloud, as more enterprises are storing data and applications in mobile, cloud and other remote environments. However, many IT providers now offer cloud security solutions, which monitor data across all platforms and enable companies to focus on business-critical tasks.
It's important for all enterprises and government organizations to improve their data protection strategies, and U.S. firms remain ahead of most other nations. According to a recent Lloyd's of London report, the United States ranks among the top countries in the world in data security awareness, signifying that most businesses are realizing the value of protecting their private data.
"We need states, businesses and insurers to work together more closely to tackle this growing threat, which is at the heart of the world's economy," said Lloyd's of London chief executive Richard Ward.

If a celebrity is endorsing a product or is seen with a certain moisturizer, lip gloss or bottle of water I automatically take notice and want to try it. Our latest arrival, Glam Glow Mud Mask, is the talk of tinsel town with beauty editors, makeup artists and celebrities making it one of their must have items. Ryan Seacrest was seen using it backstage on American Idol as well as Karina Smirnoff from Dancing With The Stars....and she won! Must have been that beautiful glowing skin I say...
This mircale mask's main ingredient, "mud" is dredged off the coast of Southern France, and is high in ancient volcanic pumice rock, super antioxidants and minerals. This product gently exfoliates the face and activates moisturizing collagen synthesis. It will absorb skin impurities without stripping your skin of it's natural oils and you will be left with a noticeably radiant and glowing complexion. It's no wonder makeup artists love their celeb clients to use Glam Glow Mud Mask prior to red carpet appearences and photo shoots. Get skin fit for a celebrity for only $69 and your skin will never look so luminous!

Welcome to another post of helping a reader travel! As I've mentioned before, I have not been to every destination (unfortunately), but do get questions from friends and other blog readers on all sort of travel destination questions. Thus far, we've been able to help other readers travel to Maui, The Greek Islands, Pacific Coast Highway, Argentina /Buenos Aires, Costa Rica, Cape Cod & The Islands, Iceland, Geneva, Canadian Rockies, Rome, Israel, Peru, Las Vegas, Stockholm, Chicago,Paris, Hanoi, Austin, Puerto Rico, Bruges, Salzburg, and Istanbul.
So this weeks travel destination includes Brazil. I received the following email from reader Jillian:
"I am looking to travel across Brazil in June with my boyfriend for about three weeks. We are in our mid-20's, adventurous and would like moderate priced hotels since we will be traveling for so long and the cost can add up. We have some SPG points and can start accumulating other points as well to give ourselves some nicer/luxury hotels here and there. Where are some places we have to go? What are some hotel suggestions? Is it safe to travel around Brazil do you think? Any recommendations in general would be great! Thanks so much!"
If you've ever been to Brazil and have any recommendations, let's help out reader Jillian by commenting below.
Also, if you have any upcoming travel where you need some help, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to be a featured "Help a Reader Travel" Monday special. Thanks!

Would definitely recommend going to Morro de Sao Paulo, which is a boat ride away from Salvador. It's a world away from all the hussle and bustle of the touristy attractions in Rio.
No major chain hotels there, but prices are reasonable if I remember correctly. Make sure to bring some Dramamine for the boat ride because the waters can be rough, but once you're there, it's amazing!

Keep in mind that a good chunk of Brazil is in the southern hemisphere. Which means June would be winter there. So if you are a beach person, you will really have to stick to North/North-East brazil, Places like Natal is 75ish all year round.
I think Rio/Sao Paulo will be quite a bit colder. You should check out Florianopolis. It's south east from Rio. It's like the Ibiza of South America. Has a bit of everything. 40+ beaches. It's an island. It's also extremely safe. I had my wedding there(wife is from there). I been there end of May, pretty cold. It's peak season is prob Nov-March. We will probably be there again in March. Been to Brazil 3 times so far. Still love Florianopolis the best.
Check out Iguazu Falls.

I found driving very easy. The quality of the freeway system was fantastic. We happened to get stuck in the south during the worst flooding in decades and were very impressed by how quickly they had the major freeways up and running. Google maps on my GPS enabled Blackberry proved invaluable while driving and while walking in some towns, so consider a data plan.
We found it very safe and were never concerned, just followed normal common sense travel safety.
I highly recommend Florianopolis and Curitiba — much less touristy than the north and a very interesting mix of cultures/ethnicities, history, and politics (if you are interested in urban planning, transportation, and environmental issues, it is a great city to check out).
You'll notice big differences as you move around the country. That was one of the most fascinating things about it. One area very German influenced, another Japanese, another African, and all over mixes of it all. The diversity of people, cultures, food all blending together was great to experience.
Everyone was very forgiving of our poor Portuguese and appreciated our efforts. I recommend the Lonely Planet phrase book for your pocket. I am vegetarian and found everyone very accommodating, but I did have a Brazilian friend write down my dietary desires on a note card which I could show in places where my language skills failed.
David Young said,
Been there twice a year for 15 years (wife is Brazilian). First, make sure you have a VISA – not passport, but Brazilian visa.
For winter, I highly recommend Natal. Stayed at the Ocean Palace – very nice, and the Pestana (perfectly fine). Make sure you eat at Camaroes (there are two in town right across the street from each other. For an adventure, try a trip up to Jericoacoara.

I´m here right now. My friends (three of us) are in the same age group as you and are staying at the Sheraton Rio next week, and at the Sheraton Iguazu (technically in Argentina) in about two days. Both on points and with Gold status – I´ll update you with the experience when we´re done!

Hi Jillian,
I guess the previous comments already gave you some of the important tips.
The suggestions are also great. Morro de São Paulo, Natal, Florianópolis, Curitiba, Iguaçu Falls, etc, but
Brazil is a very large country (actually larger than the continental US!) and a very diverse one. You can go from the famous beaches to hiking in awesome canyons to islands to experiencing culturally oriented programs,to the amazon jungle, etc.You can go from a german/italian/easter european culture in the south to a more african culture in the northesat to a more indian culture in the north.
Since the regions are too far apart, you are better off traveling by plane and renting a car to do side trips. An updated GPS should be enough to get you around without any problems.
So, having said that, you should first decide how long you have to spend here and what kind of sightseeing you want and build your trip from there.
I am from Curitiba, which is a nice place to visit with some interesting places to see around town. Also, Iguaçu Falls is in the western part of our state. Very much worth visiting.
I would be more than glad to help you more if you give me some more details. Try to get my e-mail with Ms. Deals or send me a DM to @pinheiromark on twitter.

Recognition of Somaliland Overdue
Nearly 20 years ago, Somaliland, a Florida-sized region of northeast Somalia once known as British Somaliland, declared its independence from Somalia. In the years since, Somaliland has emerged as a stable, democratic state that provides a measure of international security in a region overrun with pirates and transnational terrorists. Yet, no state or international body recognizes Somaliland's independence. Instead, the international community is content with the fiction that Somalia remains a unified state. Denying Somaliland recognition will likely result in its eventual collapse and the expansion of the chaos, instability and international insecurity that characterizes Somalia. To prevent this eventuality, the United States should grant recognition to Somaliland.
Since declaring its independence in 1991, Somaliland has pursued an indigenous process of transformation from a militarized, post-conflict society governed by traditional clan structures to a representative democracy. Following the ouster of Siad Barre, the longtime dictator of the Democratic Republic of Somalia, a series of conferences of the elders of Somaliland's clans resulted first in Somaliland's declaration of independence, then in a transitional charter establishing a presidency and legislature, and finally in a provisional constitution.* That constitution was approved by 97 percent of votes cast in a Somaliland-wide referendum in 2001. Municipal, presidential and parliamentary elections were held in 2002, 2003 and 2005, respectively. The first presidential election was notable both for its narrow margin -- fewer than 100 votes separated the candidates -- and for its lack of violence. It is also notable because the victor, Dahir Rayale Kahin, is not a member of the dominant clan of Somaliland. Presidential elections scheduled to take place in 2008 were repeatedly delayed until June 2010. That largely peaceful election was judged as meeting international election standards. More importantly, power was transferred peacefully from the incumbent to the victorious opposition candidate, Ahmed Mahmoud Silanyo -- a feat unmatched by any other state in the Horn of Africa. ...

Hi all,
Shannon just posted on the roll call thread, but I was afraid no one would see her question. She wants to know what to do with her Sweet Alyssum that has gone to seed. Any recommendations? Welcome, Shannon! Your yard sounds like a challenge. Renee |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are an annual and you can just remove the plant once it does its "pretty flowers" thing. I hate to be a doom sayer . . . but I'd toss the plant and put out weed inhibitor. As beautiful as that first alyssum is the three million that will come up over the next ten years become a real bother. |
Alyssum is an annual that does reseed prolifically. You can put down a pre-emergent as suggested above or let it reseed, but it may not always reseed where you want it to. |
- Posted by central_cali369 z9 CA (My Page) on Mon, Oct 26, 09 at 0:51
Just let them be. Really. They actually last several years for me. I use them as groundcover and they bloom almost the whole year for me, setting seeds almost all year long. I never cut them back so they form a nice thick, drought tolerant groundcover mat and keep other weeds at bay. |
Hi, Thanks for cross-posting this. I was going to give it a day or two in the roll call thread and then move it into its own thread, so thanks. Appreciate everyone's input on alyssium, I'll have to re-read them. Looks like doing nothing will work, but I still wonder if I should remove the ugly scraggly brown bundles that are all over,....or if they are best left as groundcover during rainy season. just for the record here is my original question: >I'll toss out one little question here that is on my mind today - anyone know much about Sweet Alyssium? Much of the large front yard (that was lawn a decade or more ago) bloomed beautiful little Alyssium flowers in about March or April, and over the summer it has grown to about a foot long and is scraggly, and brown (we didn't and still don't really have irrigation sorted out). My questions are: will the Alyssium regrow, or seed itself so will it regrow? Should I leave in place the long brown bushy piles that are left all around the yard, to keep from having bare dirt in the rainy season, or should I cut them back or pull them out? If I want more in the spring (it's a convenient ground cover until we have time to make a better plan) do I need to buy and put out seed? etc. |
Some people mow and they send out new growth rapidly. If you have lots of seedlings they will quickly replace the scragglies if you pull them out. I routinely pull out the parent plants when they become unsightly. By that time they have scattered new seed. |
Like iris_gal, I pull them out when they start to look ratty and seedlings replace the old ones. This is a big staple in my yard, because the pollen feeds beneficial insects when the aphids are not around to feed them. Then when aphids do show up, they are quickly eaten. I rub out unwanted seedlings with my foot. Such a handy plant. |
I have had a bunch of Alyssum for about 3 years. When I first had them they would flower, the parent plant would die and then new seedlings would come up some time after I removed the dead parent plant. Now that they are well established, there is a constant cycle of re-seeding, so I barely even notice when the parent plant dies as the new ones emerge so frequently. It's a great border plant and needs very little water. They occasionally come up in different places in my landscape via re-seeding, but they haven't gotten out of control. -Brett |

FORT MYERS, Fla. — The pain was so acute Steven Wright still remembers the exact date it started.
It was December 19 when Wright first started experiencing sharp pains whenever he tried to get up. A series of appointments with Red Sox doctors followed, eventually leading to surgery on a sports hernia on February 10. Earlier attempts to treat the issue non-surgically weren't able to solve the problem.
"It sucks, but it's one of those things where, if it was going to happen, it happened at a good time," said Wright, who made his first appearance at Red Sox camp on Thursday. "The season is long. Hopefully I can get back in May."
For now, Wright's rehab is likely to involve some basic massaging and light cardio — "training the body to learn how to move again" in Wright's words. He hopes to be throwing again in six weeks.
"I'm not going to rush it because the last thing I want to do is compound it and get something else," Wright said. "It's part of the game sometimes. You're going to get hurt. I'm glad it's not my arm."
Prior to the injury, Wright looked set to start the year in the PawSox rotation and be one of the first potential call-ups to the majors in case of emergency. This pushes that timeline back and perhaps opens up a rotation spot for another pitcher to claim in Triple-A.
Further, one of Wright's advantages over the other pitchers slated to start the season in Pawtucket was his major-league readiness, having spent some time with the Red Sox a season ago. Now that he won't be ready to pitch until at least May, there's a good chance some of the more inexperienced pitchers in the system — such as Anthony Ranaudo and Matt Barnes — could pass him on the hierarchy for an emergency call-up.
