Hi, One of my two six year old apricot trees is having problems. Last spring, just as my large, healthy apricot tree was beginning to bloom, we had a severe hailstorm which thrashed off most of the blossoms AND leaves from a main central branch with several; extending minor branches damaged as well. I noted the bare branches in the center of the tree with dismay (It's always beautiful and full of foliage all summer) but later... when I was able to harvest about three dozen apricots, decided next year would be better when the leaves and fruit reappeared and stopped worrying. However....today I noticed a large branch (one of the minor branches that had escaped injury and had been full of green leaves) was now full of dead, dried up leaves. What can I do? Is this a fruit tree disease or further hail damage? Should I amputate the entire large central branch including extending branches or just wait until next spring to see what happens? The tree has been quite healthy. since it was planted. We have always had a bumper crop of fruit (a bushel or more) every summer. I see no signs of insect damage. |

Apricot are prone to die back and whenever I see a limb dying I take it off, all of it, now not later. Al |

I agree with Al that you should remove any dead or dying limbs. As to the cause, it is almost certainly the hail, either directly or indirectly. No tree likes having its bark riddled with holes, and this weakens the tree and leaves the door open to disease as well. I had the same thing last year, but in August, which I think was worse because the plants tried putting out new growth like it was spring, only to be hit down again with the first hard freeze in the fall. Long story short, I did lose one of my three apricot trees, a 4-year-old volunteer from seed that was very vigorous and had already produced some fruit. Slower growing trees I think handle these things better. Good luck |
Thanks for the helpful advice Al and Fabaceae. Sorry for the delay in answering. Wanted to take and send a photo to illustrate condition of my tree. Didn't realize the thread moved so fast or I certainly would have posted sooner. I almost didn't find it. LOL |

I've seen grown women refuse to stay in a house alone for fear of Ghosts(???)
I've seen grown men refuse helpful advice because they might "lose face" so they continue on their own path, resulting in serious injury
I've seen young men not even hold the door open for their own girlfriends (because men are superior in Thailand) and then look at me with disgust when I do because now I've made them look bad. (WTF?)
I've seen some of the most ridiculous and selfish driving skills (or lack there of) in my entire life.
Yep that's THAI-NESS for you.
1. Superstitious Nonsense
2. The Silly, immature notion of "Face"
3. False superiority complex (more like inferiority complex)
4. Absolute selfishness and ZERO common sense.
How wonderful it must be, like an ostrich in the sand, head first./quote]
Firstly, I wanted to say that this guy is very ignorant. My English is not the best as I have never been studying abroad but I do read Bangkok post. Sure that some of us scare of the ghost but I think every culture have funny believing too, not just Thailand.
Many people who were posted on here have commented on the racist ways. Based on their hatred minds or bad/selfish people that they have met.. Or even think that they're better than others that do not use English. I never judge any nationality as some of you do on here. Nor I based my understanding about one country on 100-200 people that I have met in that country or how their government behave. I believe this kind of thing is individual. You get good people in the worst area or you get absolute idiots in the high society bunch of people.
Losing face is not the things that anyone likes anyhow even in the west. But the way of dealing with the situation might be difference as Asian people do not tend to hide feelings well lol. Funny how many people think that other people are evil/stupid/selfish but forget to look at themselves to start with.
I have met some Farang that I thought they understand Thai ness very well even though they have only been to Thailand a few times and I have met people that have been here for years and still being minded , treating Thai national badly and looking down on every single opinion we give. Is this mean anything? To me, it means that I can only judge who understand Thai ness based on my understanding about Thai ness myself
Anyway, interesting posts. Thank you for sharing your views about how you think about Thailand. Altho i believe that it doesn't mean that Thai people can only be bad and stupid as a whole. There are people like me that want to learn the good things from the west and ignore the bad influence too. Altho it took me almost a year to find this topic but there is so much to read on the internet nowadays. Cheers.
Nothing to do with Thainess but your post reminded me of an example of superstition I recently observed: I saw a woman cut down a blooming jack fruit tree because a monk told her it was unlucky to have it growing in front of her house. I'm sure there are examples from all around the world but I just shook my head at this one.

Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
BUT most Thais do not understand Farangs. All most of them see is a walking ATM machine.
But the biggest difference is most farangs treat women as their equal NOT the same as Thailand where a woman is considered inferior.
Also if a Farang wants money he will go and work for it not look for a lazy option.

Re: Farang cannot know Thai-ness
Farang cannot know Thai-ness, is a very true statement
I was born and lived in England for the first twenty years of my life and never worked out Brit-ness
I immigrated to Australia, where I have lived for most of the past forty odd years and am still not sure what Aussie-ness is
I have lived in America and have definitely never understood USA-ness
Then in more resent times I have lived six months for each of the past few years in rural Thailand and will never pretend I understand Thai-ness
Also I have been fortunate enough the travel many countries of the world and lived we local people,
The combination of the above, has given me a-ness I can easily live with, it's called WORLDLY-NESS.
And so worldly-ness to me, means mutual respect to all Nesses and you'll have a happy life.

Okay, we're gonna start out with a really basic pair of jeans the kind that you definitely have in your closet. The ones that we have on Andie are American Eagle 77 straight leg jeans. Now, we're gonna take these straight leg American Eagle jeans and show you how to wear them 5 more ways. For the next list, we're gonna try something called the pegged leg. It sounds scary and gross, but I swear it's not. Fold in on the inside, not the outside 'coz you want the outside to look nice. Fold it over 2 times showing off your great summer shoes and she looks really cute! The next thing we're gonna do is cut holes in the knees of Andie's jeans. This is a great way to get more life out of a pair of jeans that's kinda put aside in your closet that you don't like. Bend your knee a little bit. Right at this pointiest part, that's where the hole should be. Cut just a little tiny hole. Take them off, go from where the hole is and cut as big as you want the hole to be. Put them in the wash, dry them up, and they'll be nice and frayed, just like you see 'em [unknown]. Okay, the next thing we're gonna do is cut this American Eagle straight leg jeans into a pair of knee-length shorts. You either want them right on your knee or just a little bit below. You don't want it to be like right over your knee. It actually is really slimming. Cut on the sides. Make a mark. Do not cut them while they're on your body. I cut off the part right below the knees. This is where we measured. To make sure they're even, start in the middle. Match up the seams. I like to [unknown] it, adjust it. The next jean we're gonna try is another variation on the short. You're gonna cut it a couple inches above the knee. This pair of shorts is totally a matter of taste. Look in the mirror and see where you're comfortable at. Cut up the seams. Pinch out a little piece, and do a little snip just like that, so you know exactly where to cut it when you take 'em off. For the final variation on your basic straight leg jeans, we're gonna try something called a dolphin short. A dolphin short is an old 70s style short, short, little shorty shorts, the kind with scallops on the side. Pick out the spot that you're most comfortable in. Also, make sure the pocket doesn't hang. You don't want that kind of hillbilly look where your pockets hanging out. Make a little mark with the scissors in the front, where you want them to hit and you want that 70s little scallop to go up, maybe about a half inch. Make another little mark. Here's the spot that Andie wants her short shorts to be. Start a little higher. Make a little scallop shape and then cut straight. And then what you have here is that really great little scallop shape on the edge and it's super cute. Nice and short, perfect for the summer!

Washington Monthly contributing editor Art Levine has a piece for In These Times (5/31/09) reporting on economist Anne Layne-Farrar's recent congressional appearance in which she
warned about the horrendous impact of the Employee Free Choice Act. Its potential to increase union membership from between five and 10 percent, she said, 'would result in an increase in the unemployment of around one and a half to three percentage points.'
Levine tells us how "Fox 'Fair and Balanced' News, naturally, in its TV report neglected to mention that her 'research' was funded by the corporate-friendly, anti-union 'Alliance to Save Main Street Jobs,'" and directly takes on Layne-Farrar's estimate "that 600,000 jobs would be lost in the first year after the EFCA became law":
Layne-Farrar massages the data using a complex "regression analysis" to connect the dots between card check, higher unionization rates and more unemployment, putting the loss at between 600,000 and 2.6 million new American jobs in the first year.
"That's bullshit," says Canadian labor economist Charlotte Yates, now the Dean of Social Sciences at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. "I donâ┚¬Ã¢"ž¢t know of any credible economists who say [now] there is a direct correlation between unionization and the rise in unemployment."
Despite being so flawed as to elicit such strong exclamations from prominent academic economists, "since the report's publication in March, this statistic has circulated through the media, showing up on MSNBC, CBS News, the Wall Street Journal and, in spades, Fox News." For more on corporate media coverage of EFCA, read FAIR's magazine Extra!: "For Media, 'Card Check' Promise Is One to Break: Corporate Outlets Suddenly Discover 'Workers Rights'" (2/09) by Janine Jackson.

noun \ˈspan-drəl\Definition of SPANDREL
Variants of SPANDREL
Origin of SPANDREL
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Roughly triangular area on either side of an arch, bounded by a line running horizontally through its apex, a line rising vertically from the springing of the arch, and the exterior curve of the arch. When arches adjoin, the entire area between their crowns and springing line is a spandrel. If filled in, as is ordinarily the case, the result is a spandrel wall; in medieval architecture this was usually ornamented. In buildings of more than one story, the spandrel is the area between the sill of a window and the head of the window below it. In steel or reinforced-concrete structures, a deep spandrel beam may span across this area. The triangular area of space beneath a stair is also known as a spandrel.

Colombia Official Travel Guide
You are here:
It's been more than two years since I started calling Bogotá home. After the initial excitement and honeymoon with the city, reality slowly but surely started to creep in. The pollution, the horrendous traffic, the overpriced beers in Parque 93… It felt a bit like I was no longer living in Colombia but just in another soulless megalopolis.
So what to do? Accept the rat race and look for the latest boutique hotel or try the next gourmet burger?
No, I dug, I scraped, I ventured. I went off the beaten tracks to find those little gems of culture, those reflections of what living like a Bogotano meant. I like people with character: rich, poor, chic, casual; all of them. And I want to follow them as they enjoy the city. Not when they go out in the Zona T drinking a cosmopolitan while listening to the latest David Ghetto. But when they get up early on Sunday to have a fresh orange juice after sweating it on La Ciclovia, or when they cure their hangover of aguardiente (literally fire water) with a Caldo de Costilla (beef rib soup) in the Mercado de la Perseverencia. I've done the research and I hope you'll enjoy these little corners of authenticity in Bogotá. Comment, share your tips, and tell us about your own little "rincones" (corners).
Markets feed the soul as much as the stomach. Visit the daddy of all markets: Paloquemao. Taste dozens of new fruits, buy a bunch of exotic flowers, or simply get yourself a coffee at a good spot to watch the Bogotá world go by.
Real Bogotá food? Search no more and go to Doña Elvira. In the heart of Galerias, Doña Elvira has been serving criolla food (European recipes, mainly Spanish, coalesced with local ingredients and style) since 1934. Try the morcilla (black pudding) or the cordero sudado (lamb in sauce) or a real sancocho (chicken or beef stew). Hearty, authentic, a must for any carnivore.
Get up early on Sunday morning and join the procession to Cerro de Guadalupe. The view is just as good as Monserrate with less tourists and the experience is a lot more authentic.
Detox and refresh at one of the surrounding Páramos. This eco-system is unique to the Andean region and usually includes amazing mountain views full of cacti - like frailejones. To do so, try the highest waterfall in Colombia at La Chorrera or venture a bit further to visit the birth of the Bogotá River. Returning to Bogotá after such a day out will give you plenty of energy to face the city again.
Stay away from the Hollywood trail and visit one of many Bogotá's theatres. Watch a show at the Teatro Gaitán or see a classical piece at the magnificent Teatro Colón. Its layout is modeled after the Opera Garnier in Paris and it should re-open in 2014 after extensive renovations. And if you happen to be in Bogotá in April, do not miss the biggest international Theatre festival in the world, the Festival Iberoamericano de Teatro de Bogotá.
Despite the ups and downs of this city and the many problems most big cities have, Bogota certainly have something special. My favorite hidden treasures are the walks on the mountains nearby like the one near Barrio Rosales in Calle 70, I forgot it´s name! And off course the places Josian decribe in its article are also great.

London, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/26/2012 -- Payroll Report has been very much aware that a bunch of searches with regards to their services is being made annually. With this regard, the company made their expert guidance available to their customers.
A testimony from Mike Kerrigan, a Payroll Outsourcing customer states:

Payroll Report website, http://www.payrollreport.co.uk, stated:
"Most business leaders prefer to concentrate on their area of expertise – whether it is producing luxury cars, new fashions or designing websites – than spend time on internal business processes such as invoicing or payroll. This is where payroll outsourcing services or outsourced payroll providers comes in."
"Navigate the world of payroll management with our expert guides, industry focused reports and expert editorial backed by the UK's leading publisher of payroll information for businesses. Payroll Report is your professional insight in to the world of payroll management, payroll outsourcing and sector specific payroll advice.", quotes the spokesperson of Payroll Report.

Our island was noted as 94 inches from our kitchen designer. He did not include the counter overhang in the measurement, and as a result, our 3 pendant lights are centered based on the 94 inches versus 106 inches, which would include the 12 inch overhang on the one end.
Follow-Up Postings:
Just my opinion, but I would think you would center them on the work surface. (But I suspect you are inclined to agree with me already!) The question of whether it is worth it to you to move them is something I cannot weigh in on. |
Thanks. Please clarify if "work surface" refers to the entire counter top?!!! Right now my lights are centered to the area not including the 12 inch overhang Thanks so much! |
We are building our house and our builder did the same and when I mentioned it to my hubby, he said it's better that way because if you have seating at the overhang you don't want people hitting their heads to the pendants (they may not actually hit their heads but just nice to have some room) Our island is 6 feet long without the overhang and 5 feet wide . |
I have a peninsula, one ended butted up to a wall and the other with no overhang (duh). I have two pendants which my contractor simply installed without consulting with me for final placement. They are technically correctly placed, if you divide the peninsula into thirds. However, the proximity of the wall at one end vs. the open space at the other affects perception. I wish I'd just eyeballed them for placement. |
Had I not made sure mine were centered with the countertop/work surface, the electician would have no doubt centered them over the cabinets themselves. I think most people have overhang on one side only so that's fine in most cases. But we, like yourself, had overhang on the side opposite the range but also on one of the long sides of the island which made the long side asymmetrical. I wanted to make sure my pendants were centered over the island's countertop. Otherwise the lights would be shifted to one side. No one will hit their head on them. That shouldn't even be a concern. Here is ours. See how different it would look if the lights were not over the overhang on the right? If this is how you want them, you should have them move the lights. It's not that big of a deal to do so. Our electrician didn't center four lights properly in the house which we realized last minute. They fixed it AND the ceiling around it within a day. I would have never known the difference if I wasn't to particular and hadn't already noticed! |
FWIW, I meant the entire countertop when I said "work surface." Sorry for the ambiguity. |
- Posted by nineteenoeight (My Page) on Sat, Aug 4, 12 at 19:50
linelle, I had the same thing happen with our peninsula pendants. I made my builder measure the light out several times because I was sure the one was too close to the wall and he "proved" that it was correct. Now that the ceiling/wall and peninsula are done it does not look balanced - the wall changes the perception. Arg. We're keeping it as is, but yeah. Should have stuck to my guns. |
Thanks everyone! I am having them go back and center to the entire counter top! Appreciate the feedback! |
lnia ditto what angie_diy said and sorry for the hijack... Babs711, so love your backsplash, and your kitchen, you make me want to come over for dinner! ('Course, haven't been invited, sniff, sniff...) -- sadOldBat2be |
Don't be sad OldBat2be! If we GWers lived around each other we could rotate dinner parties all the time! Wouldn't that be so fun! I'd have you over for dinner any time! And you're so sweet for saying that! |
baba711 you make a good point. Unfortunately for us we have to live with the current placement of the pendants. One of the things we dread the most is asking the builder to change some thing, they charge us ridiculous amount of money :( |

Large EC fans from ebm-papst now 5-bladed ebm-papst Inc., the leading manufacturer of motors and fans, now offers a complete range of EC motors up to 3 KW for use in a wide variety of applications, such as building air-conditioning, telecommunications, ventilation, and refrigeration technology. EC motors are highly efficient and operate extremely quietly and economically in terms of energy consumption. Integrated electronics make the fans easy to operate. These controls make it possible to increase or reduce the fan speed while only using as much energy as absolutely necessary.
Aerodynamic behavior also plays a significant role in the efficiency of these fans. For large EC fans, ebm-papst has developed a new blade design that allows the fans to operate more quietly and consume less energy. The new EC fans have 5 blades instead of 7. In addition, the blade ends have been optimized with winglets (wider blade ends). These improvements, depending on the operating point, make it possible to greatly reduce the noise emissions. The new fans range in size from a blade diameter of 25-40 inches (630-910 mm).
ebm-papst Inc. partners with Argus Visionebm-papst Inc. has partnered with Argus Vision to become the exclusive North American Distributor of electronic controls for heating and appliance products. ebm-papst will offer the Argus Vision line of control products to complement its existing line of premix gas blowers for high-efficiency condensing boilers and other modulating gas-fired systems.

Volkswagen Touareg Prices Paid and Buying Experience
britguy Posts: 2Just received this quote from a local dealer - it's a first offer so i don't know yet how much they're willing to negotiate (i'd like to know if others have seen anything so agressive yet on the 08s):
MSRP is $49650 - dealer's selling price is $45311 (500 under invoice).
39 months, 12K/yr - 53% residual and money factor of .00098.
Total money due at inception = $748 out of pocket and monthly payment is
$572 + tax (dealer said this was for A-Tier credit thru VW Credit Inc).
When i did the math on the monthly payment using the selling price provided, the residual comes out at 55.7 which may be appropriate given 12K and options i chose though i'm suspicious given 39 months). I've asked for hard copy documentation which i have told i will receive. What sort of a 'real deal' is this...Other dealers have not come close yet. -
kyfdx Posts: 31,839I get $557/mo., using 53% as the residual... Maybe an acquisition fee figured in to get up to $572?
I don't know if their numbers are correct, as far as the lease program, but that's a pretty good payment on a $49K MSRP vehicle, with only $748 upfront...

I FAXED the above proposal. At first, they were at $498; then dropped to $490. Finally, they agreed to $486.
Incidentally, the $36,302.62 is the sell price implicit in VW's nationwide Tourareg lease Ad...

max_anderson Posts: 26got this quote from Jennings VW in Glenview, IL:
MSRP of a V6 Touareg 2 w/Lux and Tech packages = $46,240
Terms - 48 months 12K per year, $318 down (license, title, & doc fees)
Selling price - $41,668.74
taxes - $3,362.50
bank acquisition fee - $575
Total capitalized cost = $45,606.24
Residual - $20,350 (44%)
Money factor - .00118

What do you think? The sales price seems good but how do the rest of the numbers look to you? Bear in mind we have to pay full sales tax on the purchase price in Illinois.
Thanks in advance... -
aobregon78 Posts: 2I have never leased in my life, I just sold my old car and I'm very interested in a new Touareg 2 V6. I have been negotiating for over a month and I'm about to close the deal with an Arizona dealership. I think that I could be getting a very good deal here, but I would appreciate some advice, comments or any suggestions. Here is what I could be getting:
- Touareg VR6, Galapagos Color, Interior Beige
- 19's Terra wheels on vehicle will be added as per my request
- As per Dealership: MSRP $39,990.00 / Invoice: $37,280.00
- 48 Month Lease
- 20 K per year
- $369 Dealer Doc Fee (Down payment)
- Monthly Payment $490 plus TAX
So is it a good deal for a 48 month lease with 20K?
Please advise Thanks! -

djc19 Posts: 1I now own a BMW X5 but am looking hard an a '10 TDI, which has much to like. However,I am amazed that no iPod connectivity of any kind--even simple speaker feed--is available unless you buy the $5200 package, most of which I do not want. Is the dealer correct in telling me this? Is there any good-quality conversion kit available for even simple MP3/ iPod speaker feed? I may pass on the TDI if it is $5200 or nothing. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
texags Posts: 2There are several out there that connect through the cd changer, at least for older models (mine is a 2004). I paid $180 and hooked it up myself--i'm sorry, I don't remember the model. I did a google search of "direct ipod adapter vw touareg" and found several.
Mine works well. Good sound quality, and compatible with my iPhone 3GS. (Not all of them are).
Getting the head unit out is a pain, by the way. I needed to have 4 special removal keys to unlock it. I don't know if the new ones are the same way. -
bruny Posts: 7This might seem like an odd question but here it goes. I purchased a 2009 touareg tdi for my wife ten days ago. she absolutely hates it. Is it possible to give it back? does vw have any kind of a program for this or will i now take a beating by selling it as used? she doesnt want another vw so trading it to them for something else is not an option. your collective wisdom is appreciated. tia
roverguy76 Posts: 13Gold Exterior/Black Interior, Lux package. MSRP is $43,239 and the selling price is $32,000. If you add on the sales tax, tags and registration the out the door price is @$34,589. Based on a A plus rating and a interest rate of 5% payment for 60 months would be around $615. per month.
The price doesn't sound bad, the interest rate does. Regardless, what do you guys think? Can I go lower given the 2010s are sitting around, and the 2011s are on the way? Any 0% interest rates available? This is in Southern New Jersey, BTW. Thanks in advance. -
jello71 Posts: 3Hey, I ended up doing pretty well on trade in but they only moved about $1k on the list price of the Tdi sport. When 8 did a search on cars.com with all areas, you can see a dealer on the east cost offering the LuX models for less than the sport MSRP, have you gotten anywhere with the pricing by you?
myteedave Posts: 2Thanks for the reply. I found *some* flexibility in the price, to the tune of somewhere between $2K on the tdi. I don't have a trade-in, just a straight up purchase (pre-approved financing + cash), so it's a simple formula. I haven't pushed very hard yet as I'm also looking at the MDX. From True Value.com it doesn't appear that there is much flexibility in either of the models. (But you CAN get a Nissan Armada at 25% off! Too bad it's a tank. I need to figure something out quickly though- sharing a car with my wife is getting old fast. Thanks for the tip on cars.com!

Watch Him Grow: 11 Months
This Watch Me Grow is a little over due, I know. He's technically 3 weeks away from being 1 but with Caden being sick last week he wasn't looking very hot for pictures, poor thing. But now that we're feeling better and have a new haircut; I mean what better time then now.
Here's what CK has been up to.
- 21 lbs.
- Still in 12 month clothes, size 4 shoes and size 4 diapers. I feel like his weight and size has plateau a little bit.
- 4 Teeth two on bottom and two on top and his 5th one is still working it's way through.
- Drinks out of sippy cups all the time. No more bottles. I packed the last 3 bottles away yesterday, do you know how good that felt!
- Had his first taste of cows milk. Last night we gave him a few ounces to try at dinner. I'm not sure if this surprised me or not but he really liked it. We'll still give him formula until he's 1 but will give cows milk every now and again to get him use to it.
- Starting to run. At night after dinner he'll make laps around the kitchen and living room. As soon as he gets too fast he gets this serious look on his face like "oh shit" and will slow down. It's hilarious!
- Dances. He even has his own remix.
- Shakes his head no, although I have a feeling he doesn't do it for "no". I think that's how I dance. ;}
- Dancing + Shaking his head no + running = A train wreck. But that's how he rolls … get down with yo' bad self CK!
- Roars (like a tiger or lion). I've been teaching him how to roar and the other day the first thing he did when I went in to get him was roar at me.
- Says mama and dada and hey
- Climbs. On everything. I caught him climbing on top of his activity center. I mean with both knees on top of it. He climbs on the couch all by himself now. If he needs a little boost he'll take a pillow off the couch and put it on the floor to step on. Smart kiddo.
- Waves Hi and is starting to move his hand a little rather then just putting his arm out.
- Feeds himself.
- Starting to understand the spoon a little bit more.
- Got his First haircut
- Chases Kala and then gets upset when he moves every time he comes near him.
- He loves getting and giving hugs and kisses. He'll come up to Nate and I and put his head on us or come and give us kisses. There is nothing better in this world then a kiss from your baby.
I can go on and on but I'll stop here. It's just crazy how much he is picking up already. What can I say, he's our little sponge! I can't believe next Watch Me Grow he'll be 1!
Have a great day!

I luv him and miss u guys:)
It feels like he was just born! That's how I feel about my baby too. It goes too quickly.
Love the part about the running too fast. Haha.
We have some friends w/a little boy & he was 21 pounds @ 6 months!! BIG BOY.
I know it's so crazy how time has flown by … it makes me want another
Pretty sure the mental image of him running, shaking his head no, and dancing at the same time is hilarious, so cute!
It's pretty funny and dangerous all at the same time

The Conference Board Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the U.S. increased 0.3% in October, following a 1% percent gain in September, and a 0.4% rise in August. Says Ataman Ozyildirim, Economist at The Conference Board: "After half a year of consecutive increases, the month-to-month growth of the LEI is stabilizing and the gains continue to be broad-based. Meanwhile, the coincident economic index has been essentially flat since June, after declining since November 2007. The composite indexes suggest the recovery is unfolding and economic activity should continue improving in the near term." The Conference Board Coincident Economic Index (CEI) for the U.S. was unchanged in October, following a 0.1% decline in September, and a 0.1% increase in August. The Conference Board Lagging Economic Index (LAG) declined 0.2% in October, following a 0.5% decline in September, and a 0.4% decline in August.

Assistant manager Neil McDonald said West Ham United had got the job done in defeating Cheltenham Town 2-1 in the Capital One Cup second round.
The Hammers overcame a spirited Cheltenham side at the Boleyn Ground through goals from Ricardo Vaz Te and Man of the Match Ravel Morrison either side of half-time, but created enough chances to have won by a hatful. As it was, the League Two Robins set up a nervy finale when Matt Richards converted a penalty just before the hour-mark.
Speaking to West Ham TV, McDonald said Vaz Te's 42nd-minute opener - an unstoppable 30-yard free-kick- had settled the Hammers down. Morrison added a classy second just 38 seconds after the break, firing low into the corner after losing two defenders with a neat piece of skill.
"Whenever you play against a lower league team they are going to come out and run about for the first half an hour and try to give their best and play above their ability which, to be fair, they did," McDonald said. "But I think Ricardo's goal settled us down.
"It was a fantastic free-kick into the top corner and I think we dominated after that up until half-time. In the second half, we totally dominated the game and really should have scored more goals than we did.
"We put ourselves under that little bit of pressure because we didn't get the third and fourth goal, which would have been a fair result, and when we conceded we were just on the back foot a touch. Saying that, we created lots of chances after their goal to kill the game off, we're through to the next round and we're pleased."
McDonald agreed that the talented Vaz Te and Morrison both illustrated their ability with outstanding goals.
"With Vaz, it's good that people practice and he has been practising well on his free-kicks. He has been taking a little bit of stick off the rest of the lads but he has shown fantastic technique and a fantastic will to take a free-kick from outside the box and he has got his rewards. The more you practise, the better you get.
"Ravel is very good on the ball and we have to get him on the ball as much as we possibly can. He shows lots of composure and he sees the final pass, which is great.
"I think he has shone tonight and has tried to knock on the manager's door with a good performance and another goal. He's continued what he did in pre-season, scoring goals from midfield, which is great. He's shown what he can do and now has to wait for his chance when the manager picks him in the Barclays Premier League."
At the other end of the pitch, Leo Chambers made his senior debut for the Hammers just three weeks past his 18th birthday. The south London-born England Under-19 defender showed his class with a composed display.
"He played really well in the first two Development Squad games against Aston Villa and Everton and we were pleased with his performance and we had a great chance to throw him in.
"I thought he showed composure, defended well enough against a tricky winger [Jermaine McGlashan] and he has got through the 90 minutes and finished on the winning side on his debut."
Debutants Adrian and Razvan Rat, captain James Tomkins, Jack Collison, Matt Taylor and the returning George McCartney - back from a knee injury suffered in March - also did their bit in front of a vociferous Boleyn Ground crowd.
"We have some seniors fighting for their places and after the first half-an-hour which is always a rush and 100 per cent commitment from the opposition, it started to settle down a little bit and they picked their passes. Unfortunately, we didn't finish Cheltenham off because we totally dominated them in the second and created eight really good chances.
"You certainly need to score more goals when you create 12 really good chances - four in the first half and eight in the second. We're disappointed that we didn't kill it off and score more goals because the lads are more relaxed and not worried about making the one mistake that would let Cheltenham back into it."
One negative on an otherwise positive evening saw Alou Diarra taken off on a stretcher ten minutes before half-time, having had the physio on three times during the opening period.
"He is a committed player and I think he has twisted his knee but we're not 100 per cent sure. We'll assess that over the next couple of days and see how he is. He is a committed player and unfortunately he has got injured early on. We hope he will be back as quick as he can."
Looking forward to Saturday and the Hammers host Stoke City in the Barclays Premier League knowing victory will ensure they go into the international break in the top six.
"We're going into the game full of confidence. We have got four points on the board, which is a point more than we had last season at this stage and our home form is really good, so there is nothing to be scared of.
"We'll prepare as we have done, professionally, and make sure the finer details are all there and will do our best to get the three points to go into the international break feeling happy about ourselves."

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 and Abimelech son of Jerubbaal goeth to Shechem, unto his mother's brethren, and speaketh unto them, and unto all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying, | 1 Abimelech son of Jerub-Baal went to his mother's brothers in Shechem and said to them and to all his mother's clan, |
2 `Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, Which [is] good for you -- the ruling over you of seventy men (all the sons of Jerubbaal), or the ruling over you of one man? -- and ye have remembered that I [am] your bone and your flesh.' | 2 "Ask all the citizens of Shechem, 'Which is better for you: to have all seventy of Jerub-Baal's sons rule over you, or just one man?' Remember, I am your flesh and blood." |
3 And his mother's brethren speak concerning him, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, all these words, and their heart inclineth after Abimelech, for they said, `He [is] our brother;' | 3 When the brothers repeated all this to the citizens of Shechem, they were inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, "He is our brother." |
4 and they give to him seventy silverings out of the house of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hireth with them men, vain and unstable, and they go after him; | 4 They gave him seventy shekels of silver from the temple of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech used it to hire reckless adventurers, who became his followers. |
5 and he goeth into the house of his father at Ophrah, and slayeth his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubbaal, is left, for he was hidden. | 5 He went to his father's home in Ophrah and on one stone murdered his seventy brothers, the sons of Jerub-Baal. But Jotham, the youngest son of Jerub-Baal, escaped by hiding. |
6 And all the masters of Shechem are gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and come and cause Abimelech to reign for king at the oak of the camp which [is] in Shechem; | 6 Then all the citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo gathered beside the great tree at the pillar in Shechem to crown Abimelech king. |
7 and they declare [it] to Jotham, and he goeth and standeth on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifteth up his voice, and calleth, and saith to them, `Hearken unto me, O masters of Shechem, and God doth hearken unto you: | 7 When Jotham was told about this, he climbed up on the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted to them, "Listen to me, citizens of Shechem, so that God may listen to you. |
8 `The trees have diligently gone to anoint over them a king, and they say to the olive, Reign thou over us. | 8 One day the trees went out to anoint a king for themselves. They said to the olive tree, 'Be our king.' |
9 And the olive saith to them, Have I ceased from my fatness, by which they honour gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees? | 9 "But the olive tree answered, 'Should I give up my oil, by which both gods and men are honored, to hold sway over the trees?' |
10 And the trees say to the fig, Come thou, reign over us. | 10 "Next, the trees said to the fig tree, 'Come and be our king.' |
11 And the fig saith to them, Have I ceased from my sweetness, and my good increase, that I have gone to stagger over the trees? | 11 "But the fig tree replied, 'Should I give up my fruit, so good and sweet, to hold sway over the trees?' |
12 `And the trees say to the vine, Come thou, reign over us. | 12 "Then the trees said to the vine, 'Come and be our king.' |
13 And the vine saith to them, Have I ceased from my new wine, which is rejoicing gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees? | 13 "But the vine answered, 'Should I give up my wine, which cheers both gods and men, to hold sway over the trees?' |
14 And all the trees say unto the bramble, Come thou, reign over us. | 14 "Finally all the trees said to the thornbush, 'Come and be our king.' |
15 And the bramble saith unto the trees, If in truth ye are anointing me for king over you, come, take refuge in my shadow; and if not -- fire cometh out from the bramble, and devoureth the cedars of Lebanon. | 15 "The thornbush said to the trees, 'If you really want to anoint me king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, then let fire come out of the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!' |
16 `And, now, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted, when ye make Abimelech king; and if ye have done good with Jerubbaal, and with his house; and if according to the deed of his hands ye have done to him -- | 16 "Now if you have acted honorably and in good faith when you made Abimelech king, and if you have been fair to Jerub-Baal and his family, and if you have treated him as he deserves-- |
17 because my father hath fought for you, and doth cast away his life from [him], and deliver you from the hand of Midian; | 17 and to think that my father fought for you, risked his life to rescue you from the hand of Midian |
18 and ye have risen against the house of my father to-day, and slay his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and cause Abimelech son of his handmaid to reign over the masters of Shechem, because he [is] your brother -- | 18 (but today you have revolted against my father's family, murdered his seventy sons on a single stone, and made Abimelech, the son of his slave girl, king over the citizens of Shechem because he is your brother)-- |
19 yea, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and he doth rejoice -- even he -- in you; | 19 if then you have acted honorably and in good faith toward Jerub-Baal and his family today, may Abimelech be your joy, and may you be his, too! |
20 and if not -- fire cometh out from Abimelech and devoureth the masters of Shechem and the house of Millo, and fire cometh out from the masters of Shechem and from the house of Millo, and devoureth Abimelech.' | 20 But if you have not, let fire come out from Abimelech and consume you, citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and let fire come out from you, citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo, and consume Abimelech!" |
21 And Jotham hasteth, and fleeth, and goeth to Beer, and dwelleth there, from the face of Abimelech his brother. | 21 Then Jotham fled, escaping to Beer, and he lived there because he was afraid of his brother Abimelech. |
22 And Abimelech is prince over Israel three years, | 22 After Abimelech had governed Israel three years, |
23 and God sendeth an evil spirit between Abimelech and the masters of Shechem, and the masters of Shechem deal treacherously with Abimelech, | 23 God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem, who acted treacherously against Abimelech. |
24 for the coming in of the violence [to] the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and of their blood to place [it] on Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and on the masters of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brethren. | 24 God did this in order that the crime against Jerub-Baal's seventy sons, the shedding of their blood, might be avenged on their brother Abimelech and on the citizens of Shechem, who had helped him murder his brothers. |
25 And the masters of Shechem set for him ambushes on the top of the hills, and rob every one who passeth over by them in the way, and it is declared to Abimelech. | 25 In opposition to him these citizens of Shechem set men on the hilltops to ambush and rob everyone who passed by, and this was reported to Abimelech. |
26 And Gaal son of Ebed cometh -- also his brethren -- and they pass over into Shechem, and the masters of Shechem trust in him, | 26 Now Gaal son of Ebed moved with his brothers into Shechem, and its citizens put their confidence in him. |
27 and go out into the field, and gather their vineyards, and tread, and make praises, and go into the house of their god, and eat and drink, and revile Abimelech. | 27 After they had gone out into the fields and gathered the grapes and trodden them, they held a festival in the temple of their god. While they were eating and drinking, they cursed Abimelech. |
28 And Gaal son of Ebed saith, `Who [is] Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we serve him? is [he] not son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his commander? Serve ye the men of Hamor father of Shechem, and wherefore do we serve him -- we? | 28 Then Gaal son of Ebed said, "Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should be subject to him? Isn't he Jerub-Baal's son, and isn't Zebul his deputy? Serve the men of Hamor, Shechem's father! Why should we serve Abimelech? |
29 and oh that this people were in my hand -- then I turn Abimelech aside;' and he saith to Abimelech, `Increase thy host, and come out.' | 29 If only this people were under my command! Then I would get rid of him. I would say to Abimelech, 'Call out your whole army!' " |
30 And Zebul, prince of the city, heareth the words of Gaal son of Ebed, and his anger burneth, | 30 When Zebul the governor of the city heard what Gaal son of Ebed said, he was very angry. |
31 and he sendeth messengers unto Abimelech deceitfully, saying, `Lo, Gaal son of Ebed and his brethren are coming into Shechem, and lo, they are fortifying the city against thee; | 31 Under cover he sent messengers to Abimelech, saying, "Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem and are stirring up the city against you. |
32 and, now, rise by night, thou and the people who [are] with thee, and lay wait in the field, | 32 Now then, during the night you and your men should come and lie in wait in the fields. |
33 and it hath been, in the morning, about the rising of the sun, thou dost rise early, and hast pushed against the city; and lo, he and the people who [are] with him are going out unto thee -- and thou hast done to him as thy hand doth find.' | 33 In the morning at sunrise, advance against the city. When Gaal and his men come out against you, do whatever your hand finds to do." |
34 And Abimelech riseth, and all the people who [are] with him, by night, and they lay wait against Shechem -- four detachments; | 34 So Abimelech and all his troops set out by night and took up concealed positions near Shechem in four companies. |
35 and Gaal son of Ebed goeth out, and standeth at the opening of the gate of the city, and Abimelech riseth -- also the people who [are] with him -- from the ambush, | 35 Now Gaal son of Ebed had gone out and was standing at the entrance to the city gate just as Abimelech and his soldiers came out from their hiding place. |
36 and Gaal seeth the people, and saith unto Zebul, `Lo, people are coming down from the top of the hills;' and Zebul saith unto him, `The shadow of the hills thou art seeing like men.' | 36 When Gaal saw them, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains!" Zebul replied, "You mistake the shadows of the mountains for men." |
37 And Gaal addeth yet to speak, and saith, `Lo, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and another detachment is coming by the way of the oak of Meonenim.' | 37 But Gaal spoke up again: "Look, people are coming down from the center of the land, and a company is coming from the direction of the soothsayers' tree." |
38 And Zebul saith unto him, `Where [is] now thy mouth, in that thou sayest, Who [is] Abimelech that we serve him? is not this the people against which thou hast kicked? go out, I pray thee now, and fight against it.' | 38 Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your big talk now, you who said, 'Who is Abimelech that we should be subject to him?' Aren't these the men you ridiculed? Go out and fight them!" |
39 And Gaal goeth out before the masters of Shechem, and fighteth against Abimelech, | 39 So Gaal led out the citizens of Shechem and fought Abimelech. |
40 and Abimelech pursueth him, and he fleeth from his presence, and many fall wounded -- unto the opening of the gate. | 40 Abimelech chased him, and many fell wounded in the flight--all the way to the entrance to the gate. |
41 And Abimelech abideth in Arumah, and Zebul casteth out Gaal and his brethren from dwelling in Shechem. | 41 Abimelech stayed in Arumah, and Zebul drove Gaal and his brothers out of Shechem. |
42 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the people go out to the field, and they declare [it] to Abimelech, | 42 The next day the people of Shechem went out to the fields, and this was reported to Abimelech. |
43 and he taketh the people, and divideth them into three detachments, and layeth wait in a field, and looketh, and lo, the people are coming out from the city, and he riseth against them, and smiteth them. | 43 So he took his men, divided them into three companies and set an ambush in the fields. When he saw the people coming out of the city, he rose to attack them. |
44 And Abimelech and the detachments who [are] with him have pushed on, and stand at the opening of the gate of the city, and the two detachments have pushed against all who are in the field, and smite them, | 44 Abimelech and the companies with him rushed forward to a position at the entrance to the city gate. Then two companies rushed upon those in the fields and struck them down. |
45 and Abimelech hath fought against the city all that day, and captureth the city, and the people who [are] in it he hath slain, and he breaketh down the city, and soweth it [with] salt. | 45 All that day Abimelech pressed his attack against the city until he had captured it and killed its people. Then he destroyed the city and scattered salt over it. |
46 And all the masters of the tower of Shechem hear, and go in unto the high place of the house of the god Berith, | 46 On hearing this, the citizens in the tower of Shechem went into the stronghold of the temple of El-Berith. |
47 and it is declared to Abimelech that all the masters of the tower of Shechem have gathered themselves together, | 47 When Abimelech heard that they had assembled there, |
48 and Abimelech goeth up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people who [are] with him, and Abimelech taketh the great axe in his hand, and cutteth off a bough of the trees, and lifteth it up, and setteth [it] on his shoulder, and saith unto the people who [are] with him, `What ye have seen I have done -- haste, do ye like it.' | 48 he and all his men went up Mount Zalmon. He took an ax and cut off some branches, which he lifted to his shoulders. He ordered the men with him, "Quick! Do what you have seen me do!" |
49 And all the people also cut down each one his bough, and go after Abimelech, and set [them] at the high place, and burn by these the high place with fire, and also all the men of the tower of Shechem die, about a thousand men and women. | 49 So all the men cut branches and followed Abimelech. They piled them against the stronghold and set it on fire over the people inside. So all the people in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, also died. |
50 And Abimelech goeth unto Thebez, and encampeth against Thebez, and captureth it, | 50 Next Abimelech went to Thebez and besieged it and captured it. |
51 and a strong tower hath been in the midst of the city, and thither flee do all the men and the women, and all the masters of the city, and they shut [it] behind them, and go up on the roof of the tower. | 51 Inside the city, however, was a strong tower, to which all the men and women--all the people of the city--fled. They locked themselves in and climbed up on the tower roof. |
52 And Abimelech cometh unto the tower, and fighteth against it, and draweth nigh unto the opening of the tower to burn it with fire, | 52 Abimelech went to the tower and stormed it. But as he approached the entrance to the tower to set it on fire, |
53 and a certain woman doth cast a piece of a rider on the head of Abimelech, and breaketh his skull, | 53 a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head and cracked his skull. |
54 and he calleth hastily unto the young man bearing his weapons, and saith to him, `Draw thy sword, and thou hast put me to death, lest they say of me -- A woman slew him;' and his young man pierced him through, and he dieth. | 54 Hurriedly he called to his armor-bearer, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that they can't say, 'A woman killed him.' " So his servant ran him through, and he died. |
55 And the men of Israel see that Abimelech [is] dead, and go each one to his place; | 55 When the Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead, they went home. |
56 and God turneth back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brethren; | 56 Thus God repaid the wickedness that Abimelech had done to his father by murdering his seventy brothers. |
57 and all the evil of the men of Shechem hath God turned back on their head, and come unto them doth the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubbaal. | 57 God also made the men of Shechem pay for all their wickedness. The curse of Jotham son of Jerub-Baal came on them. |

I have an artists lightbox that uses some type of chemical ballast to run the flourescent light and it smells horrible. I would like to rewire it using an electronic ballast similar to what is on my fish aquarium light. Would this be a simple proceedure? There is a little cylindrical screw in component on my fish aquarium light but there is also a rectangular square thing that the wires run through as well. What is this? Could I more or less copy the way the fish aquarium light is wired and be sucessful with the lightbox? |

The "little cylindrical screw in component" is a starter that isn't used on newer type ballasts. The "rectangular square thing" is probably a line noise filter and is not always needed. You could use a different lamp(s) size. You would need to get a ballast that matches the size, quantity, & type of lamps in the lightbox. They usually come with wiring diagrams. |

Our home in the Paardeberg has come a long way since we acquired the property in 2008. When we moved here the old cellar buildings had not been used for over 70 years. André, Adi's dad, says it looked like 'bombed Siberia' and Cornelia almost cried at the sight of the very unstylish 1970s house that she now had to call home. But one thing was for sure, Kalmoesfontein was a renovator's dream and our biggest challenge yet.
Today our homestead is looking better and better every day and in 2011 we starting using it for various events. In conjunction with Cornelia's event styling business De Liefde, the farm was used as a venue for some interesting and stylish events. We hosted our first open day, a baby shower, a 40th birthday and a wedding in 2011 and have been caterering for many more beautiful occasions since.
For more info on events on the farm visit the De Liefde site.

Greece Gets More Time To Dig Out Of Deficit

NPR's business news starts with a small reprieve for Greece.
Eurozone finance ministers decided yesterday to give Greece more time to turn around its budget deficit. The financially challenged government will have an additional two years, until 2016, to run a primary budget surplus, which does not include debt servicing. What eurozone leaders did not agree upon is whether and when they would release more aid to Greece - money that's needed as its outstanding loans come due. That decision is now expected on November 20th.

5 Ways to Transfer Files From One Computer to Another
When the time arises to upgrade from an old PC to a new one, many users question the fact of whether they will be able to back up their data and files from their older computers to a new one. What they do not realize is apart from the conventional methods of backing up files and transferring them at a later stage, users can now take advantage of the various media components in the market that will help them get the best of what they done with absolute advantage. There may be a great number of ways via which one can transfer files from one computer to another but here is our list of the top five ways that promise to be fast, user friendly and easy to do.1. External Media
There are a plethora of media options available across the world that range from USB sticks, to external hard drives, CDs and DVDs. Choose the one that is most suitable for you. Using a USB stick is best recommended as its fast, convenient and easy to use. Using an external media component not only ensures that you have a good back up, but it will help you stay organized. It's a great way of keeping a tab on things especially if you like staying structured. If you find that using an external media device can be long (if you have large files), it is best recommended that you find a good backup suite that will do it for you automatically. This way, you can maintain the health of both your new and old systems.
2. Local Area Networks
Hook up both your PCs to each other with a firewire and you are good to go. Just copy paste what you want and transfer them to your new PC. Simple. Creating a home network is safe and easy to use. The only drawback in this regard is that of fluctuating transfer speeds. Nonetheless, it should be a stable option particularly if you plan on using more than one PC. For security purposes, you can also share the files which only you authorize. This way no one else will have access to what matters most to you. Do not forget, if you want to share files via LAN, you will first need to enable it from your control panel and then share the network.
3. Easy Transfer Cables
This is the next generation of hooking up two PCs at a time. No more authorization, no more sharing of files and no more cluttered networks. Simply plug and play and your new easy transfer cable will help you copy files from one system to another. It does not get more simple than this. Structurally, it is a USB device that plugs into both your systems and you are good to go. It's a great tool if you need to copy or transfer files instantaneously.
4. HHD Manual Connection
This could be a little heavy but it's a stable and secure way of transferring files from one PC to another. Connect an external connector and hook up your PC to the HDD you are good to go. Simply ensure that you can get the best of what you want to transfer and make sure that you use a reliable connector for your backup purposes.
5. Using PC Mover
PC Mover is one of those all you can do programs that helps users automatically copy, backup, replace and transfer files from one destination to another. It has a simple, easy to use interface that connects remotely and does all the work that one would otherwise have to do manually. Simply install the program on both the old and new PC and let PC Mover take care of the rest. Additionally, it comes bundled with an easy to use wizard, autopilot program, application selectivity, multitasking scenarios, undo feature commands, and customizable user selective profiles. Being accredited by PC Mag as the editors top choice, PC Mover transfers all your files, system programs, settings and more with a simple push of a button.

Color Profile on W520 keeps getting automatica lly reset
I recently got a W520 and it seems to work properly. However I am having some trouble with the color profile in Windows on the laptop. In the Advanced Display Settings. I have been trying to set a customized ICC profile but every time the computer goes into Power Saving Mode, or when the monitor is shut off the ICC profile gets reset to the default one.
Click the Windows Start button and type "msconfig" in the search bar and press Enter.
Click the Startup tab in the window that pops up.
In the list of items below, you should see three entries for "Intel(R) Common User Interface". To the right of those is a column called Command. One of the entries for Intel Common User Interface will have the command "c:\windows\system32\igfxpers.exe". Un-check the box next to that entry, click Apply at the bottom, and then reboot your computer. Your display profile that you set should stay loaded now.
