Bread Dream Explanation
— Bread symbolizes knowledge and Islam. It also alludes to the Book, the Tradition of the Holy Prophet, the mother who brings up and feeds her child, the wife who causes her husband to be religious and immune from debauchery, life, and vital money. Pure, white bread symbolizes a clear life, pure knowledge, and a beautiful white woman. Bread made of a mixture of wheat and barley is the reverse.
• Distributing bread to needy or weak people: Will preach or acquire learning.
• Baking bread: The dreamer is endeavouring to secure a steady source of income.
• Baking bread quickly before the furnace cools down: Will have a high position and obtain as much money as bread was produced.
• Finding or obtaining a loaf of bread: Long life. Each loaf represents forty years. Anything missing from it should be deducted from that figure. Its purity symbolizes the quality of life. Each loaf of bread could also symbolize one thousand dirham's (silver coins), welfare, abundance, and blessings. For a bachelor it alludes to a wife, for the ruler to his justice.
• Seeing plenty of loaves without eating any of them: Will meet one's brothers very soon.
• Seeing a
bread loaf in one's hand: Nice living but medium religious faith.
• A barley bread loaf: A life of sorrow and fear.
• A dry loaf: Tight living.
• Being given a piece of bread and eating it: The dreamer will either die or live nicely.
• Taking a piece of bread: The dreamer is cupid.
• Hot bread: Hypocrisy and prohibitions.
• A loaf of bread hanging on the dreamer's forefront: He is poor.
• Rotten bread (with green bacteria on it): Plenty of money that is of no use to its owner and from which no religious dues are paid.
• Bread cooked on embers or hot sand: Hard living, for only the needy bake that kind of bread.
• Eating bread without food: The dreamer will be sick without anybody looking after him and will die lonely.
• Eating bread with honey: Will seek knowledge and wisdom and be better off, because honey indicates good knowledge and bread comfortable living.
• Eating bread and salt: Contentment.
• Eating vinegar with bread: Long life.
• Eating thin (unleavened) bread: Contradictory interpretations like short life, few gains, and abundance.
• Unfinished bread: Strong fever, as this bread has to go back to the oven for completion.
• Hot white wheat bread: Children.
• Loaves of bread spread on the dining table: An enemy will emerge. If the dreamer eats from them, hostility will break out.
• A dead person giving bread to the dreamer: Money or welfare from an undesirable source.
• A dead person taking a loaf of bread from the dreamer to let it fall in the fire on tar or in an empty place: The dreamer's sick wife, if any, will die or lose faith.
• Seeing bread above the clouds, on a rooftop, or high in a palm tree: The price of bread will go up.
• Bread on the ground and people stepping on it: A huge, thankless man who promotes luxury.
• Pissing on bread: Will have sex with a prohibited relative.
Horse Dream Explanation
— The horse symbolizes power, authority, and prosperity. Its tail represents the offspring and grandchildren.
• Riding on a tamed horse that goes slowly and perfectly under the horseman's command: Will enjoy power, authority, prestige, dignity, and wealth as much as the horse was obedient in the dream. Tying up a horse would have the same meaning.
• The longer the horse's tail, the more followers the rider has in real life. The reverse applies, in case the tail was cut off, for example. Every part, every limb, of the horse represents a division of similar importance working under the ruler.
• The horse bolting (taking the bit between its teeth), making it impossible for the horseman to control it: The latter will commit a sin or face a catastrophe inasmuch as the horse was difficult to stop. In other words, it could mean that the dreamer would be carried away by his own whims and passions. It is all the more so if the horse was spoilt as a result of good treatment, dissatisfied, or violent.
• Riding, in general, is good only on earth or in horses tracks. Therefore, riding a horse on the wall, on the roof, or in a sanctuary would be a bad omen, except if it was a winged horse flying between heaven and earth. The latter case would mean dignity in life, travel, and deep religious faith.
• A piebald or spotted horse means fame. A fair-haired one could mean either sorrow or victory, because "the angels horses were blond," asserts Ibn Siren. A man told Ibn Siren he dreamed that he was on a horse with iron lances. "Then you should expect death," said the great interpreter.
• A horse dying at a person's hands or in his house: The death of such a person.
• Riding on a white-footed horse with a white fringe and all white harness while dressed as a full-fledged horseman: Will gain power and prestige, merit praise, and live secure from all enemies. A bay, roan, or reddish
horse would be best if the dreamer were a combatant. The salamander (a color of Arab horses) refers to dignity and disease.
• Riding on a horse and making it run till it sweats: Will be overcome by passion and commit sins to earn your living. It is noteworthy that sweat emanating from running is an expenditure on some sinful matter, in view of the verse of the Holy Quran that reads: "Run (flee) not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes, in order that ye may be called to account. They said: Alas for us! Woe to us! We were indeed wrongdoers!" ("Al-Anbiyae" [The Prophets], verses 13–14.)
• Seeing a horse of either sex from a distance: Good augury, in view of a saying by the Holy Prophet that welfare accompanies horses till the Day of Resurrection.
• Driving a horse: The dreamer is trying to serve or seeking the service of an honest man.
• Riding on a two-winged horse: The dreamer will become a king or ruler if his stature permits. Otherwise he will simply obtain what he is aiming for.
• The runaway, bolting, or ungovernable horse: An angry and ungrateful man who takes things lightly and unconsciously. The same applies to a stubborn horse.
• A jumping horse: Desires will be fulfilled quickly and abundance is ahead.
• The horse running fast but keeping step: Things will be straight and even.
• Disagreement between the horseman and the beast: Insubordination of a slave or servant, disagreement with a business partner, or incongruity and rebellion of the wife.
• Seeing the pendent of a horse: The enemy will beat the horseman.
• Seeing horsemen flying in the air: Temptation, intrigue, and war will erupt in that place.
• Horses running bare between houses without their saddles and stirrups: Torrential rain.
• Seeing a herd of horses with saddles on their back but no stirrups: Women will gather in a wedding or a funeral.
• Owning or looking after a number of horses: The dreamer will become a governor or have more influence in his sphere.
• Riding on a saddled stallion or mare: Dignity and authority, because riding is the privilege of kings and horses are what King Solomon used to ride. Such an authority could come through a woman the dreamer would marry or a slave girl he would buy. However, such a dream would not augur well in any case if the subject rode without reins, which symbolize guidance, wisdom, religion, and command. Losing the reins would also mean that welfare will slip away.
• Falling from the back of a stallion or mare while riding bareback: Authority will wane, conditions will deteriorate, and corruption will encompass the dreamer's wife.
• Seeing a saddled but unknown stallion or mare in one's house: A woman will enter the house for sex, marriage, or a simple courtesy call. The same situation involving an unsaddled horse would mean that a man would enter that house for marital purposes and the like. Draft horses or packhorses symbolize man's perseverance and struggle. They are midway between a mare and a donkey. They represent a low-class wife and a slave or servant. On the other hand, they also refer to energy, luck earned through tears and sweat, and prosperity.
• Seeing one's draft horse rolling in the dust: Efforts will be stepped up, and wealth will increase.
• A yellow packhorse: Sorrow.
• If someone used to riding mares rides a draft horse, his prestige will fall, his power will wane, and he might abandon his wife to go with a slave girl or a nanny.
• Conversely, if a person used to riding donkeys rides a draft horse, people will talk highly of him and praise him and his income will increase. His sexual standard might also be promoted by going to bed with a free woman, rather than a slave.
• The higher and the stronger the pack horse, the greater and more solid the religious faith.
• Dreaming that one's draft horse has become insubordinate and one is unable to control it means the wife will have the upper hand.
• The packhorse talking to the dreamer: Plenty of money will come from the wife's side, and respectability will be enhanced.
• Making love to a packhorse: Will do a favour to one's wife and abstain from complaining of any weakness.
• Riding on a draft horse: Will embark on a distant journey and get plenty of welfare from the wife's side.
• Riding and flying with a draft horse: Will travel with one's wife, who will become somebody.
• The draft horse being angry with the dreamer: His wife is an infidel.
• Death of a draft horse: Death of a wife.
• Theft of a packhorse: Divorce.
• Loss of a draft horse: Wife will be immoral, obscene, and uncontrollable.
• A dog jumping over and making love to the dreamer's draft horse: A Magus (Magi or Magian) enemy is following the dreamer's wife. If the one jumping on the packhorse is a monkey, the flirting enemy is a Jew.
• A gray packhorse: A ruler or powerful man.
• A black draft horse: Money and sovereignty or supreme power.
• An unknown packhorse entering one's hometown without any material: A stranger will step in. The seahorse symbolizes a liar or something that will not materialize. (See under Muhammad for winged horses.)

[825] ERG Oncoprotein Overexpression in Matched Primary and Metastatic Prostate Adenocarcinomas.
Bora Gurel, Helen Fedor, Jessica L Hicks, Angelo M De Marzo. Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore
Background: Gene fusions of Ets family members to the androgen-regulated TMPRSS2 gene is a common occurrence in prostate cancer. The most common fusion is between TMPRSS2 and ERG, which occurs in roughly 50% of prostate cancers. Until recently, little was known regarding the expression of the ERG protein. Two recent reports indicate robust staining for ERG protein in a subset of prostate cancers and that this correlates highly with FISH-verified rearrangements (Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases, 13:228–237,2010; Neoplasia, 12:590-598,2010). However, whether untreated metastatic prostate cancers are also ERG protein positive has only been examined in 7 cases thus far.
Design: For this study, we constructed a TMA using primary prostate adenocarcinoma tissues from 37 radical prostatectomy specimens and matched, hormone-naïve metastatic prostate carcinoma tissues from accompanying pelvic lymph node dissections, using the largest tumor nodule from each case. The TMA slide was stained with a rabbit monoclonal antibody (Epitomics), digitized and uploaded into TMAJ for web-based analysis. Each TMA spot was then visually assessed for ERG oncoprotein immunopositivity in the carcinoma lesion.
Results: As shown previously, there was strong staining in virtually all endothelial cells yet no staining was present in normal prostate epithelium. In most positive cases, virtually all of tumor cells showed robust nuclear staining. Of the 37 primary carcinomas, 27 (73%) were positive for ERG. Of these 27, 24 (88.9%) of the matched lymph node metastases were positive, whereas 3 were negative. Of the primary tumors that were negative for ERG, all corresponding lymph nodes were negative. There were no cases where only the lymph node metastasis was positive with the primary being negative.
Conclusions: Our results show that ERG protein positivity in a primary index tumor is mirrored to a large extent in corresponding untreated lymph node metastases. Since there were no cases of positively staining lymph node metastases without a corresponding primary tumor being positive, these results support prior studies indicating that ERG alterations resulting in ERG protein overexpression occur early during prostate carcinogenesis. Thus, unlike other molecular alterations in prostate cancer that occur more frequently in progressive disease (e.g. PTEN loss and 8q24 gain), a given prostatic adenocarcinoma lesion either does or does not have ERG protein overexpression, and if it does, it occurs very early in the process and is maintained across disease states.

Syrian army kills 140 in crackdown: activists
Jul 31 09:03 PM US/Eastern
Syrian forces have killed nearly 140 people including at least 100 when
the army stormed the flashpoint protest city of Hama to crush dissent on
the eve of Ramadan, activists have said.
Activists said it was one of deadliest days in Syria since demonstrators
first took to the streets on March 15 demanding democratic reforms before
turning their wrath on the regime and calling for its ouster.
As reports of the brutal crackdown on Hama unfurled, US President Barack
Obama and European leaders condemned the crackdown as Italy called for an
urgent meeting of the UN Security Council.
"It is one of the deadliest days" since the protests erupted, said Rami
Abdel Rahman, the head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights activists said at least 136 people were killed across Syria and
expected the toll to rise, while scores were wounded.
UN Security Council member Germany meanwhile has formally requested
emergency consultations by the 15-nation body on the Syrian government's
deadly offensive against demonstrators, a spokesman has said.
A meeting could be held within hours but the move is likely to reopen
bitter divisions within the Security Council, which has not yet been able
to agree even a statement on President Bashar al-Assad's four month-old
crackdown against opponents.
"One hundred civilians were killed on Sunday in Hama by gunfire from
security forces who accompanied the army as it stormed the city," said
Abdel Karim Rihawi, head of the Syrian League for the Defence of Human
Rights speaking about the government crackdown.
Rihawi said five other people were killed in the central city of Homs and
three more in the northwestern province of Idlib when security forces
opened fire on protesters who rallied in support of Hama.
The head of the National Organisation for Human Rights, Ammar Qorabi, put
the Hama death toll at 95. The Observatory's Abdel Rahman said at least 47
people were killed in and around the central city.
"The number of those wounded is huge and hospitals cannot cope,
particularly because we lack the adequate equipment," he added, quoting a
Hama hospital source as saying.
Abdel Rahman said the Hama crackdown came after more than 500,000 people
rallied in the city on Friday after Muslim prayers during which a cleric
told worshippers "the regime must go."
Activists also reported deaths in Deir Ezzor, Syria's main gas- and
oil-production hub in the east which has become a rallying point for
protests along with Hama.
At least 19 people were killed in Deir Ezzor, six in Herak in the south,
and one in Al-Bukamal in the east, said Qorabi, adding most of those shot
in Deir Ezzor were "hit in the head and the neck" by snipers.
Abdel Rahman meanwhile told AFP that protesters set ablaze 24 army troop
carriers in the Masrib region west of Deir Ezzor. "They threw Molotov
cocktails on a military convoy to stop it from advancing on Deir Ezzor and
set ablaze 24 troop carriers."
The Syrian Revolution 2011, an Internet group that has been a driving
force behind the protests, urged demonstrators to gather nationwide after
Ramadan "taraweeh" evening prayers later Sunday "for retaliation
"Syria is bleeding" it said.
Western powers condemned the violence amid warnings of fresh sanctions
against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
US President Barack Obama said he was "appalled by the Syrian government's
use of violence and brutality against its own people" and paid tribute to
the "courageous" demonstrators who have taken to the streets.
"In the days ahead, the United States will continue to increase our
pressure on the Syrian regime, and work with others around the world to
isolate the Assad government and stand with the Syrian people," Obama
A US diplomat in Damascus told BBC World Service radio that the violence
in Hama amounted to "full-on warfare" and an act of desperation.
"There is one big armed gang in Syria, and it's named the Syrian
government," said JJ Harder, the press attache at the American embassy in
And senior Republican Senator John McCain accused Syrian authorities of
carrying out a "massacre" and told AFP "I hope that there will be a move
to bring charges to the International Criminal Court."
Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini called for an urgent meeting of
the UN Security Council to "adopt a very firm position" and also suggested
that EU ambassadors in Damascus meet on Monday in the Syrian capital.
Germany threatened to slap new sanctions on Damascus along with its EU
partners as France warned that Syria's leaders "will have to answer for
their deeds" while Syria's neighbour Turkey said it was "deeply saddened
and disappointed... by the current developments on the eve of holy month
of Ramadan."
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the crackdown was "totally
unjustified", particulary on the eve of Ramadan. "Those responsible for
these attacks must be held accountable and brought to justice," she said
in a statement.
Residents in Hama said the army entered the city with tanks at around 6:00
am (0300 GMT) before gunfire erupted, in an apparent operation to wrest
back control after security forces withdrew almost two months ago.
The official SANA news agency charged that gunmen shot dead two security
forces in Hama while a colonel and two soldiers were "martyred" in Deir
SANA said the gunmen torched police stations and attacked private and
public property in Hama, adding soldiers tore down barricades and
checkpoints set up by the armed men at the city's entrance.
Abdel Rahman said the army also launched an operation against Muadhamiya
in the Damascus region at dawn, "with tanks blocking the southern, eastern
and western entrances to the town".
The Syrian League for the Defence of Human Rights reported more than 300
people detained in Muadhamiya and said that on Saturday Bagara tribal
chief and opposition figure Nawwaf Ragheb al-Bashir was seized in Deir
Activists also reported pro-Hama demonstrations in several parts of Syria,
including in the Harasta town near Damascus where, according to the
Observatory, 10 people were wounded when security forces opened fire on a
crowd of 4,000 protesters.
In 1982, an estimated 20,000 people were killed in Hama when the army put
down an Islamist revolt against the rule of Assad's late father, Hafez.
The president replaced the governor of Hama after a record 500,000
protesters rallied in the opposition bastion on July 1 calling for the
fall of the regime.
At least 1,583 civilians and 369 members of the army and security forces
have been killed since mid-March in Syria, according to the Observatory.

But just be > sure you don't ever set it as the system vm. Very true. Just to clear up any confusion for others on the list, this means that if you are trying to run a 1.5 JDK as the primary on your system at the same time you have a 1.4 JDK running, the 1.4 JDK will be unable to use most of the code compiled from the 1.5 JDK (by default). Since most packages on the Gentoo distro compile themselves from source (Java included), having a 1.5 JDK as your *system VM* means that your Java applications would be compiled so that ONLY Java 5 (and higher) runtimes could use the applications. This is a show-stopper for those still running a 1.4 JDK (at least for non-developers, who should know how to deal with this stuff anyway): Choices: * Run only 1.5 or higher on your system (with no intention of ever going back down). Note that as of a while ago certain packages in the Portage tree still required 1.4, so this approach may preclude installing those packages from Portage. --OR-- * Take Petteri's advice and leave 1.4 as the system VM, and set your "user" VM to 1.5 (or higher) if desired. HTH to clarify... Greg

Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan
todd11 Posts: 23Ant,
Will the controls/buttons on the armrests in the doors also be illuminated at night?
Was also wondering if the center armrest is sliding and adjustable for a perfect driving position , and does the engine hood have hydraulic lifts or the old fasioned prop thing.
Where doyou estimated the 0 to 60 times will be with the 6 cylinder and the six speed auto to be. I think it has a good chance to get in the range of 7.7 to 7.9...what do you think? -
ANT14 Posts: 2,687Yes, majority of buttons will be illuminated for nighttime visibility. Actually Ford (by far) illuminates as many interior buttons as possible. Something Honda or Toyota doesn't seem to yet grasp. Contour I remember, was one vehicle where night time illumination on the door, went a bit overkill.
As for armrests, it's pretty much kept simple as the engine bay and such. Final details haven't yet been released concerning that.
As for 0-60MPH estimates, look around mid to lower 7's, thanks to the 6 speed automatic.
I'll be on vacation for the next 3 weeks, in an isolated vacation island with no internet/phone, so I won't be able to answer as much as I have been. -

f111d Posts: 114Automobile article April 2005
By Richard Feast
German automakers were once synonymous with great quality. What happened?
Unfortunately it can't be read on-line yet even though it's the first day of May, well it is Sunday. Not sure when the folks at Automobile release archives for on-line viewing?
One thing I always thought was Detroit's down fall, their inability to deal with electronics.
Looks like Germany manufacturers have fallen into a similar trap. We'll just throw electronic at the consumers! IE: Quote from the article - "Many quality failures stem from the blinkered pursuit of the latest electronic technology" .
Blinkered, love that description. Richard Feast must be from England? That's the word I've been looking for the last 20 years to describe Detroit's approach to electronics. Bean counter engineered electronics that is. I've been told cost-effective engineering is taught in college. But cut it some more knowing it will fail? I think not! Got that tid-bit from the owner of parts supplier to Detroit.
My point is maybe car manufactures should stick to what they should know best (IE:driving dynamics for one) and let the after market electronics provide the toys? ABS is still pain to cost-effectively maintain or even prove if it's really working as designed. Very few error codes let along performance codes are in my PCM. (OBD II enhanced manufacture propeitary)
I know this one device that needs integrated into to driving dynamics , but a one generitc algorithm fits all? NAW!. ABS has a long way to go. I'll try to explain (I've never been close to an english major) since I unknowingly learned threshold braking and I'm sure Bosch or whoever has played with this design, an ABS system does not need to increase stopping distances even on wet/snowy pavement! I been told by a Ham radio contact, it has been toyed with and works. Best way to explain it - "it's not the stomp and hold design". I'm guessing the better the driver the shorter the distance?
Sure hope the engineers at Ford are paying attention? Actually all car manufacturers need to offer such an option. Option! Not standard if they can't offer a real ABS! At least for the Fusion it is optional - thank-you for not forcing a half-baked option!
tkfitz Posts: 95There was a time when Ford offered Escort,Focus,Contour,Taurus and Crown Vic. Quite a range of sizes and options. Soon to be just Focus, Fusion,Five Hundred and the venerable old CV. Fewer choices??
What distinguishes the Fusion from the somewhat unpopular Contour?
It almost seems like the late model Taurus will remain the best value for the buck. Older proven tech at a truly bargain price.
This strategy seems to blurs the difference between Ford and GM. Their 3.8 remains a viable alternative to their pricier newer tech in several models. Very respectible fuel economy as well...
This said the Five Hundred really does offer a comfortable, pleasing package.
What will the Fusion offer?
I cannot wait to test drive one.
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855There was a time when Ford offered Escort,Focus,Contour,Taurus and Crown Vic. Quite a range of sizes and options. Soon to be just Focus, Fusion,Five Hundred and the venerable old CV. Fewer choices??
Unless I missed something, since the Contour was discontinued in 2000, Ford has had only the Taurus, Focus, and Crown Vic. So the range of choices in 2006 will be greater than it has been for the last 4-5 years.
From the numbers I have seen the Fusion is larger than the Contour by about 5 inches in length. I would assume this larger size will mean more back seat room...the numbers show 3 inches of additional leg room over the Contour. This should be enough to make for a much more usable back seat than the Contour had. -

jeffyscott Posts: 3,855The Contour was beat-up over back seat space, but while the space was limited at least the back seat is at a comfortable height...some other cars supposedly have more legroom but the back seat is too low to be comfortable.
I think the problem was the lack of rear seat space combined with the price being too close to the Taurus. I think most people just did not see the value in the Contour, when they could buy a Taurus for a few dollars more. -
f111d Posts: 114My dealer was and is still upset for dropping the Contour's and Mystiques! Ford told him the Focus would cover that niche. I told him the're crazy in 2000. He now agrees.
Majority of what he is selling is 2-3 year old Taurus/Sable from the Ford auctions.
I'm keeping my 98 Mystique LS for at least 10 more years. -
f111d Posts: 114Whats the limit on all these size increases? I'm assuming only so much suspension retuning/re-engineering/what ever can done to keep the NVH under control?
I'm guessing this is just another automotive design fad or is there something useful going, besides bigger brakes.
Any hint of affordable tire prices yet?
Hoping manufactures don't over do it and leave the Amish tractors wheels where they belong?
Paul -
ANT14 Posts: 2,687Whent he Focus debuted many years ago, the interior dimensions of the vehicle placed it very close to that of the Contour. Considering the Contour was expensive to manufacture as well, Ford decided to drop it since some of the Focus trim levels crept upwards into that of the Contours. Since the Taurus' base pricing, also seem to fall into the upper half of the Focus', that just added fuel to the fire to get rid of the Contour.
Granted, the Contour was an excellent driver's car at the time, but seldomly appreciated because of it's tight interior dimensions. Luckily, the vehicle has worked great for other markets around the world...Called the Mondeo in Europe, the vehicle has received rave reviews because of it's performance. Granted, it has grown in size since it's '95 birth.
I do have to say I personally believe the Contour gave people a greater appreciation for driving and enjoying their vehicles, and is one of the few (at that time) that placed greater emphansize into displaying that. Remember in the early 90's, the "trend" was cushy quiet non-involving vehicle dynamics, which didn't agree with some buyers, who might have shopped otherwise.
Fast forward 10 years, and suddenly "european atheletism" is the trend, with greater effort placed in giving the driver better control and feel over their vehicles. So you might think... Was the Contour ahead of it's time ?
Now with the introducion of the Fusion, it's being placed above that of the Focus, and it's pricing will top out in the CV/500 territory. Mainly because, people are willing to pay for more luxury/options, given the dimensions of their vehicles.
Old-School thinking was, the price of the vehicle reflected it's size, therefore U.S. buyer's wouldn't be able to swallow a $30K Focus, yet Europeans are willing to pay a price premium for options/toys, without relating it to the size of the vehicle.
The 500 will be positioned above the Fusion, and the CV isn't really classified as their flagship, as does the 500. Unfortunately, there's been numerous comparison placing the 500 directly against the Camry/Accord, maybe it's wishful thinking on some people's part that the "Taurus" has grown up substantially in size, but it's the Fusion that really replaces it, not the 500. The 500 offers a step up in space with FWD/AWD drivetrain, while the CV does do with RWD and V8 power.
In other words, you can cover more bases with more products, rather than trying to fit one product for 400K+ buyers... -

driverdm Posts: 505Yes Domestic. Stop pretending like you don't know the truth and susequently the falsehood of what you are implying. The money paid to American workers in those factors is pennies compared to the amount of money that turns in Japan due to the composition of their stock holders as well as the fact the MOST of Toyota's workforce and leadership is based in Japan. With the domestics, the money is cycled through in the American economy. Also keep in mind why domestics are building elsewhere. UAW would rather see GM file bankruptcy than pay a dime in healthcare costs.
A company, by definition, has a responsibility to increase stockholder value. And intuitively that amount has to be greater than what they pay employees. If it weren't, it'd be better to be an employee than to own the company. Where do Toyota's stockholder's live in majority? That is where the money is trully turning in the economy. -
johnclineii Posts: 2,287I am not pretending anything. I just don't want people to think a Ford Fusion is made in the USA. It isn't. I see no great moral superiority from a BUY AMERICAN mentaiity in driving a Mexican Ford vs. a USA assembled Camry. I am sure there are other places for these discussions, and I am not going in depth here. But to pretend that a Mexican Ford is a domestic is a fallacy at best and deceitful at worst.
I should probably add that I think the whole idea of Buy American is overly simplistic these days. Even twenty years ago. I shall never forget the Isuzu built Japanese Chevy LUV trucks my local dealer had happily plastered BUY AMERICAN stickers on in my very pro-union home town, nor the steel or oil refinery workers who bought them, perhaps in part because of the stickers and the good old Chevy name. As I type this, GM in particular is putting strong pressure on its suppliers to cut costs, even if that means offshoring. The Equinox engine, for example, is built in China.
I own a Five Hundred. I've owned Maximas and GM Chevy Toyota Novas.
But I bet Ford does NOT go out of its way to trumpet where Fusions are made.
Many other so called American cars are built in Canada, and have been for years.
The whole domestic vs. foreign thing is far more complex than most realize. And the amount of Japanese investment in the US and Canada in parts, engine, transmission and assembly plants is far greater than most realize as well.
Lastly, falsehood? Pretending? I have remained civil here. I beseech thee NOT to call me a liar. There are rules of civility here. There is room for differences of OPINION. OPINION. Not facts. Show me one place I have lied. Otherwise, back off and be nice. Thanks. -

alpha01 Posts: 4,747Johnclineii, for what its worth- I highly value the contributions you make to these threads. You post with a dexterity of script that makes reading the facts you present and opinions you state very enjoyable, both informative and entertaining. Additionally, there is a clear distinction between the two. Please do not take the incivility of one to speak for the consensus of many.
Also- The GM Chevy Toyota Nova- my auntie had an 88 that was a phenomenal vehicle, with its 74 horses and 3 speed auto!!!
Anyway, have a great day!

robr2 BostonPosts: 8,100What "Japanese sister"?
The Mazda 6
and what American car?
The Ford Mustang
Both vehicles are built in Flat Rock, MI at a Mazda/Ford joint venture plant.
You folks can fight over domestic vs import. Today the auto business is global. We drive Mexican made VW's, American made Hondas, Toyotas, Nissans, MB's, South African made BMW's, et al. We export American made Toyotas, Jeeps, etc.
As for the money, yes it eventually goes back to the country the company is based in but they also spend billions investing in new plants all around the world - including here. Who owns stock in Toyota? If you own a mutual fund, probably you. As an FYI, you can own a little piece of Honda right here in the USA by buying their ADR's under the symbol HMC. -
Kirstie_H Posts: 10,924This topic is not about domestic vs. import, and what qualifies as one over the other. Please stick to talking about the Fusion & Milan, and what we can expect from these twin vehicles.

mschmal Posts: 1,757I'm not a union expert but I would think that the UAW would WAKE up a little when they see Hyundai opening up a US factory.
Obviously there has to be some cost advantage to Hyundai. Granted it insults them a little bit better from currency fluctuations. But if non-union american workers can build a car cheap enough to may Hyundai happy the UAW is in big trouble.
If the Fed does not do something to take some of the health care burden off of Ford GM and Chrysler, there is a disaster looming for the US economy.
At this rate, the out look for Ford in its current form seems kind of bleak.
Even if the Fusion is a great car, Ford is only expecting to sell about 175k. Compare that to the 300+k Camarys and 300+k Accords.
This product is coming to the market about two or three years to late for Ford.

f111d Posts: 114Beautiful explanation! Thanks!
Too bad GM and Ford just got put to junk bond status and all the foreign entities are shining! Can't blame it on benefits alone, but sign of the times many many things. I know Kristie but unfortunately politics is closely thighed to car design, a-la global.
all I wanted was bang for the buck, fun to drive, useful within the limits of economical but unfortunately kiss doesn't exist in the globe economy. At least not my budget now.

explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 10,009f111d... do we have some subliminal messages going on here for the host? if not too bad there isn't a grammar checker.
i think the fusion can be a big hit, as long as ford doesn't fall into their ways of the past 10 years or so of squeezing the life out of the suppliers, and cutting the overall product as in ages, instead of improving it.

Modern GPS technology is helping a Colorado-based ministry verify that its "gospel balloons" are actually reaching North Korea.
The communist nation is known for religious persecution and has harsh restrictions on the distribution of unapproved literature.
In response, Seoul USA came up with the idea of attaching Bibles and Christian messages to balloons.
Now, the hydrogen balloons are equipped with GPS devices to ensure they reach their destination.
Rev. Eric Foley, Seoul USA co-founder and CEO, said the gospel is getting through, despite government opposition. Click play for his comments to CBN News.
"The North Korean government, for example, will tell people in North Korea not to touch anything that comes from a balloon, like a flyer or a package," he explained. "Because they say it is coated with poison, that it's a way that the Americans and the South Koreans try to poison North Koreans."
Foley added that the GPS devices provide precise verification, which makes it much easier to confirm the ministry's work in specific areas of the Hermit Kingdom.

'Electronic tongue' identifies brands of beer with 81.9% accuracy
February 4, 2014
Spanish researchers have managed to distinguish between different varieties of beer using an "electronic tongue," with an accuracy of 81.9%.
Scientists at the Autonomous University of Barcelona used an array of 21 sensors formed from ion-selective electrodes, including some with response to cations (ammonium, sodium), others with response to anions (nitrate, chloride, etc.), and electrodes with generic (unspecified) responses.
The authors recorded the multidimensional response generated by the… read more

text: Visit L.A.'s California African American Museum and Experience the Excitement! Located in the temporary quarters at the California Museum of Science and Industry, the California African American Museum (CAAM) opened its doors in 1981. But, it wasn't too long before the CAAM had funding to build its own place in Exposition Park. Designed by African American architects, Jack Haywood and Vince Proby, the CAAM moved into its present residence in July 1984. The Museum is quite spacious, offering three full-size exhibition galleries, a theater gallery, a 14,000-square-foot Sculpture Court, a conference center, an archive and research library, executive offices, artifact storage areas and more. However, the CAAM began a major and much needed renovation in 2001, forcing the facility to close. The newly-renovated Museum reopened, though, in 2003 to the delight of many. Plan Your Trip The CAAM is situated in Exposition Park at the corner of Figueroa Street and Exposition Boulevard, just west of the 110 (Harbor) Freeway. In fact, the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Sports Arena are adjacent to CAAM, so it's pretty easy to find. You can visit the Museum Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The best news? Admission is totally free! And, if you happen to be visiting from out of town and need overnight accommodations, book your hotel at Los Angeles Hotels online. The Collection The CAAM has many important and inspiring visual arts collections, including: the Academic and Naturalistic Landscape of the Nineteenth Century; the Modern and Contemporary Art; the Contemporary Art from the African Diaspora; the Traditional African Art and the History Collection. You'll definitely want to visit the Permanent Exhibit, which is an "African American Journey West." This exhibit follows the African American journey from the west coast of Africa to the west coast of the United States. You'll discover pieces from West Africa which perfectly reflect the history and culture of the regions. You'll also gain insight into the unique art and artistic contributions that African Americans made at the beginning of the Western Frontier. There is so much to see at the CAAM. For instance, exhibits like "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing: How The Apollo Theater Shaped American Entertainment" will educate and entertain all at the same time as it makes it way to the CAAM in celebration of the 75th anniversary of Harlem's Apollo Theater. This Museum is always quick to recognize important anniversaries and monumental events and then celebrate those dates and events via exhibits and art. Exhibits are always changing, so make sure you visit often and visit the Museum's official website to find out when various traveling exhibits will arrive at the CAAM. |

Awesome captain doug house jr
From MN150
If you are traveling or going on holiday, you might want to take into account captain doug house jr. You might at first wonder how you should go about locating everglades airboat rides, but in the information-based society that we are now living in, you will find it easy to find the information you need. Provided that you know where and when you will soon be traveling, you can look for a whole host of airboating offers to select from.
The very first place that you may want to check for everglades city airboat is on the Internet. You may be amazed at all the touring advice you will find on the net. In reality, you may be able to find many great tour deals which will save you money and allow you to travel and sightsee on any budget. Before you turn to other resources, you should have a little time and see all on your own what you will get. Many airboat tour companies offer Internet specials and online coupons that can save you a great deal of money.
Still another great way to find out about everglades airboat rides would be to call your travel agent. You will realize that they probably have some good information to them, and if perhaps not, they will learn how to go about economically and effectively locating the best tours, if you are working with a travel agent to book all of your vacation needs. Your travel agent may also assist you to discover the best airboat tour options for the least amount of cash. While lots of people think that travel agents are outdated, they frequently have information on deals that you would perhaps not find a way to discover on your own personal. Also, if you reserve a whole vacation package including everglades airboat tours, you might be able to save an additional percent on the whole holiday.
Needless to say, another method that you can locate captain doug house jr would be to get organizations through the phone book and call them yourself. Often, you will see that when you call the business, they have been usually very friendly and willing to help you book your ultimate vacation or travel plans. Contacting the tour business your self may also enable you to have the most accurate information on tour times as well as costs and tour options. You only can not fail when you speak to the tour source your self to be sure that you will experience an airboat tour you'll always remember.
Citrus County seems to have the greatest concentration of west Indian manatees particularly all through the months of November through March when the weather is its coldest they will love the constant warmer water temperature and come up the river to the springs.
It really is not uncommon while out on a manatee tour while drifting, to have the mother manatee and her baby come up to the airboat and scratch their backs on the underside of the hull, manatees are extremely interesting and will swim with the airboat as we float.
I would recommend to anyone to take an airboat tour and see for yourself only a little jewel of nature that Homosassa River has to provide.

A rustic but comfortable two-person cabin is available for rent on Ben Ure Island. Situated on the eastern tip of the island, the cabin has excellent views of Simik Bay and even Mount Baker on clear days. The cabin has a stove, refrigerator, cooking utensils, running water and an outdoor shower.
Bring your own drinking and cooking water, food and bedding. Access to the island is by kayak or canoe only. There is a maximum of 2 people and no pets are allowed. Ben Ure Island is small and is also home to several private residences, therefore there is not a lot of room for land-based exploration on the island. However, if you are seeking a peaceful place to relax and unwind, the Ben Ure Cabin is a worthwhile escape.
The Ben Ure Cabin can be reserved through the Washington State Parks reservation system.

RYE, N.Y.-One-time charges related to the rationalization of manufacturing facilities, reorganization and impairment of goodwill, intangibles and other assets reduced Jarden's fourth-quarter net income by 55 percent, to $21.1 million.
Without these adjustments, Jarden's fourth-quarter net increased by 10 percent to $84.4 million. Net sales for the quarter increased 3.2 percent to $1.7 billion, which included a 0.8 percent increase in sales for the company's Consumer Solutions segment, which carries Jarden's housewares products.
In a conference call to financial analysts yesterday, Jim Lillie, Jarden's CEO, said Consumer Solutions sales were particularly strong in Latin America and Canada in the quarter. In addition, new and higher-margin products such as the Oster Volt Lithium Ion clipper in the pet category, the Mr. Coffee Power Serve and Mr. Coffee K-Cup products, Oster Personal Blenders and Crock-Pot Triple Dippers helped the segment's performance.
Gross margin for the quarter fell 75 basis points to 26.6 percent. Selling, general and administrative expenses were down 3.6 percent in dollars and 125 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 17.7 percent.
For the fiscal year, Jarden's net rose 92 percent to $204.7 million including the charges, and 17 percent factoring out the charges to $303.6 million. Net sales increased 11 percent to $6.7 billion.

I have one miniature rose I currently keep in a container as we will be moving in a few months and I saw no point in planting it. So far it has thrived; Chasing Rainbows (Pieces of Eight it's also called). I personally love this plant and the blooms are numerous and gorgeous so far. My friend really likes it too, but the seller I purchased it from no longer has it in stock. As a house warming gift for her new place, I was thinking about getting her a miniature rose to put on her balcony. (It's an east facing balcony that gets plenty of morning sun, but no afternoon sun, which is kinda nice for our hot humid Florida weather.) It would have to be kept in a container and something that wouldn't get too big. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, |

Almost any mini on it's own roots will do well in 5/7 gal pots. Forloveof roses.com, Heirloom Roses. These are a few of the good nurseries that carry mini's. This way you can choose what color you want. Plus with just morning sun, nothing will be bleached out by full all day sun. |

Keep one thing in mind. Minis have large root systems. So pick a pot accordingly |

"Tennessee." I got a band from Heirloom in the spring. This one has turned out to be one of the best roses I have, regardless of type, and the blooms are drop-dead gorgeous, born singly and in sprays. It just "glows." I apologize for not knowing how to post multiple photos at once! |

racin rose---You're Tennessee looks very good. I grew it in Fl for a long time. It was in a 7 1/2 gal. pot. Had to move it around a bit before I found a place where it was happy. I found a place where it got afternoon shade. |
- Posted by racin_rose none (My Page) on Thu, Jul 18, 13 at 4:13
Thank you Ken! I'm a total rookie and I thought sure I would kill the tiny band when I got it. It's about to graduate to a big pot, and now that you mention it, mine only gets morning sun. That must be why it doesn't fade, and sort of dwindled as it was until I moved it. I love it to death...much more, even, than some of my HT'S. It does get a touch of powdery mildew...but just about everything does around here, so I don't hold it against it. Did yours stay happy in the 7gal pot? |
All my minis are in pots. Like Dan said, pick bigger pots than you would think and they'll be happier. Minis are only small in the size of the bloom and leaf not in the size of the plant. Some minis can become quite large plants so pot accordingly! |

What Makes It Motivational Interviewing?
ICMI Day 1: What Makes It Motivational Interviewing? - W R Miller & S Rollnick
Reasons for MI
Why should you consider using Motivational Interviewing (MI).
- It is evidence based. [MI is included in NREPP http://www.nrepp.samhsa.gov/programfulldetails.asp?PROGRAM_ID=183]
- It is useful in many cultures [list of countries] and settings [list].
- It is relatively easy to learn the basics [training].
- The approach [spirit and principles] and the skills used in MI are clearly described.
- It gives you many opportunities to train [training] and improve your counseling skills [skills].
- Internationellt network. [MINT]
How do I learn MI?
What you might expect out of different lengths and types of training:
Introductory Training:
Individual Study and Self-Training. Perhaps the most common method by which clinicians explore MI is to study print materials {Miller, 2002 #15} and view training videotapes. Although this can provide some understanding of the basic approach, research by Miller and colleagues found that assigned self-training was not effective in improving clinical skillfulness in MI {Miller, 2004 #20}.
Definition of MI
The founders of motivational interviewing, Dr's. William R. Miller & Stephen Rollnick, have sought to define clearly what MI is, and their descriptions have evolved over time.
The most current definitions are 3:
A layperson´s definition to tell what it is for:
Their current, definitions of Motivational Interviewing are:
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change
A pragmatic practitioners definition to explain why you would use it:
Where is MI used?
MI is used all over the world: There are trainers in 38 languages & MI books translated into 19 languages.
link to list of trainers and/or books
MI is used in many different settings: Motivational interviewing was developed in the addiction field [History]. Now it applies to numerous areas of change: mental health, co-occurring disorders\dual diagnosis, primary health care (including diabetes, weight change, nutrition, medication adherence, HIV) gambling, smoking, substance abuse, criminal justice clients, etc. It is practiced with adults and adolescents.
Why should you consider using MI

A collaborative style of communication. A refined form of guiding.
2. MI has a particular FOCUS
Change is the focus of conversation.
3. MI has a particular PURPOSE
The purpose of MI is to elicit and strengthen personal motivation for change.
4. MI is PERSON-CENTERED

MI relies heavily on reflective listening and other person-centered communication skills
5. MI uses SPECIFIC SKILLS
10 things that MI is not
10 things that MI is not . . .
1. Based on the transtheoretical model of change
2. A way of tricking people into doing what you want them to do
3. A specific technique (MI is a counseling method; no specific technique is essential)
4. Decisional balance, equally exploring pros and cons of change
5. Assessment feedback
6. A form of cognitive-behavior therapy
7. Just client-centered therapy

According the free church tradition, only those who believe in Christ as Lord should be baptized into the church as members of his body. As such, for this tradition membership in the body of Christ is voluntary. It is not imposed, but rather is given to those who come to baptism out of a desire to follow Christ.
The majority tradition of the Christian faith labels this an unacceptable form of modern voluntarism, claiming that it places the priority on the self-determining autonomy of the human subject rather on the free grace of God. Now, clearly a whole discussion could be had about the nature of grace and how it draws human beings toward the church. Let us leave that aside for the moment.
If we cut through the fog generated by the scare word of "voluntarism," it seems to me that there are only two possible construes of how baptism ought to go down. If the voluntary baptism of believers is illicit as the normative practice, what is the alternative? The only alternative to voluntary baptism is involuntary baptism, is it not?
Now, everyone agrees that voluntary baptism is acceptable and right. No on is opposed to converts being baptized upon profession of faith. The question, as I see it, must rest on what theological reasons we have for baptizing those who do not believe in Christ and do not have the ability to consent or dissent from baptism? What theological reasons are there for involuntary baptism? That seems to me to be a reasonable question. I have yet to see, theologically, why involuntary baptism should be the norm of the church's practice.

Comfort was born in Tolland County, CT in 1779. His parents wouldhave been residing in Windsor Connecticut during the time he was bornalong with his brothers James and Samuel and possibly a sisterAbigail. He moved to NY state sometime after 1800 and lived there inseveral places until he left for good in 1850 and relocated toMichigan. In later years his father, or parents, lived with him andhis brothers during their golden years.
In Census Reports, Comfort was listed as living in Lebanon NY in 1810,1820, 1830. The 1840 Census show he had moved to Clarendon. In 1850 heappeared in both Ohio & Michigan Census. Brothers were Samuel B. andJames both born in CT. James died in 1859 in Smyrna age 74 native ofCT. Comforts spouses names have been recorded as Sara Burdette andhis second wife name Abigail.. Comforts first child was named DavidComfort after his father. Comfort's second child was named Jamesafter his brother and the third child, Samuel after his other brother.Uriah, Comforts last son, was named Uriah Comfort. Uriah and did notlike the name Comfort and so Uriah named his second child James afterhis uncle Comforts brother. Then he named his next son Samuel afterComfort's other brother.
In 1979, the Town Clerk of Windsor CT, upon request, supplied David'sbirth record along with a photo copy of it with Book and Pagerecords. He noted other records of that time period had beendestroyed by fire.
Comforts first child, a female, who died as an infant was nameChamplin Burdette, after this first wife and mother. His son Uriahgave that name as a middle name for the first child.
It is significant that of the 11 children that Comfort fathered...hisfirst born, and a male was named David Comfort after Comforts father.Comfort Coy was born in Tolland County and this was the familyhomestead of David(2), born in Windsor, Tolland Cty, CT. Comfortsfather is David(2). His grandfather David (1) who was born in Norwich,CT. Then the family moved to Tolland County the County from New LondonCty,. Norwich, CT.
In a letter of 21 Dec 1974, Harriet Ritter 1974 summarizes theComfort Coy situation as follows. "He lived in Lebanon, NY 1810-1835.It is proven that Comfort, and Sarah Burdette Coy were the parents ofhis first 7 children. "This was proved up until 1834 at which time hemay have passed away of moved, possibly to Michigan possibly viaOhio." (This excerpt was from 1974 when it was written.) Theirplace of residence was Lebanon, NY just on the county line betweenMadison & Chenango Counties, (early Oneida County). Lebanon recordswere burned in 1911 and the records of all churches (all small & Rural- were shoveled out and dumped or burned." Also found in the searchwas that Kenneth Coye married Ruby Coy who is also connected to theChamplins via "removed cousinship" as well as being aMunroe/Monroe-Coye thru Herbert, nephew of Uriah's while Ken andClayton are descended from David C., Comfort's first son and Uriah'seldest brother."
David, Comfort's first son was born 1803, died Aug 26, 1859 atSmyrna, 6 daughters,: a son born soon after David and two youngersons, Sam 1824 and Uriah 1826, both born at Lebanon, Madison Country,NY. Census records in 1810 show Comfort Coy as do 1820 & 1830 at thesame location.
As an aside, two of Comforts children died in 1859. They were alladults with families. We know that David C. did from Cholera, alsoJames his brother. Samuel died from Consumption that same year.
Comfort had moved away sometime after 1840. Since Uriah was farmedout at age 14/15. or 1840-41. At this point Comfort was 61 yearsold. It was concluded by John B. Hunt, biographical researcher, thatComfort married a second time sometime before 1820. His secondmarriage had provided him with a young family. At his age his familyshould have been gone by now. Uriah was, no doubt, excess baggage foranyone who wanted to start a new life, as he was the youngest of 11children. The first 8 by Sarah and the last four by Abigail. Of thoseremaining children Mary was a year older, so he got her married offjust short of her 17th birthday so by February 1842 was free of hisfamily.
In all probability Sarah had passed away between 1813-1818. Perhapshe moved to Clarendon to start a new life. Also at that timeComfort's brother Samuel resided in Clarendon as well so it is assumedthat Comfort moved close to his brother in 1840. Records indicatethat in 1845 his daughter Mary had moved to Michigan with here newhusband Chester Preston. By then she was 20 and a grown woman.Comfort then moved after 1845 and headed toward Michigan via Ohio.Here is what the Census reports show:
The 1810 Census of Chenango County showed Comfort and a female 26-45years old with one male, David under 10m, Sally and two otherdaughters. Mistake: It should be 2 males, James not shown.
The 1820 Census,( page 69) same place, Comfort and spouse, still 26-45years old.
1 m-10-16 1 m 16-18 4 f-10 3 f 10-16. This was David, James,Sally, 2 Unknown, Amanda Hanna & Charity. At this point Comfort hadsix females and 2 male children. Not 9 as the Census indicates.
The 1830 Census, (page 351) shows 2 people, Age 40-50, James and Davidhad grown and had started their own families. Census shows, 1 Maleunder 5, Uriah; I Male 5-10, Samuel and 4 females 10-20, they wouldbe Amanda, Hanna, Charity, and Mary. In reconstructing thefamily, a J.B. Hunt was doing work on the Coy family and concludedthat "Comfort had probably took another spouse between 1815-1818".This is the second family we were looking for. Undoubtedly this iswhere Abigail came into the picture and remained with him until hisdeath after they had moved to Michigan. If Abigail would have beenthe mother of the first group of children she would have given birthat 14 years of age and had 7 children by the time she was 21 yearsold. In other words, Abigail definitely was Comfort's second wife.
The 1840 Census Comfort would have been about 61 years old andenumerated under that Census. His spouse Abigail was in the bracketbelow him from 50-60. The fact only 4 of Comforts offspring werelisted. The conclusion is that others may have been farmed out asapprentices. This information coincides with a family letter recallsa conversation with Uriah telling that as a youngster he lived withanother family.
The Census of 1840 found Comfort living in Clarendon, Orleans Ctyalong with Samuel and his family in the same town. This is anothertie-in. David, the father, could have been living with any of thethree brothers and switching off. The Census shows that. The familyrecord indicates that David lived with Comfort during the middle1830's. James has not been researched in the Census. We know thatUriah was bound-out when he was 15, or about this time. Mary wasmarried in 1842.
In the 1850 Census Comfort and Abigail were listed in Florence Twp,Erie County, Ohio. They were living with a family in the samebuilding by the name of Livonia Blackman from Ohio. Also with thenBetsy Foster of Vermont, Age 38 and the mother of Harris Foster 10years old. The Knapps were also in the same compound. When theCensus was done again on September 18th, this time Comfort and Abigailwere living in Livingston County Michigan. They were living withChester Preston and their daughter Mary. All of this indicates thatComfort and Abigail were on their way to Michigan in the summer of1850 and had reached their destination by September. Comfort died 16months later.
More Abigail, his second and only other wife, because his childrenwere so close together and frequent. There was a gap of 8 yearsbetween 1812 and 1820 when Charity was born. Abigail and Comfort had3 more children after than, Samuel, Mary and Uriah. When Comfort diedin Michigan, Abigail probably continued to live with Mary. Comfortwas buried in near their home in Michigan. The year 1852 in thePreston Plot along with Mary and other Prestons. Abigail'swhereabouts are unknown as are her birth, death, or marriage records.
In 1973 Chalotte Ritter, Registered Genealogist wrote: "We don't knowmuch about Comfort except his residence. The Lebanon NY records wereburned in 1911, Records of all small churches, were shoveled out,dumped or burned." Since that time birth certificates or otherdocumentation were written for an requested but nothing has beenavailable. Paula Naujalis still has not given up and is constantlytrying to improve our our knowledge of Comfort and his family.

Chlorine and Environment
Name: Anna Status: Student Grade: 4-5 Location: TX Country: United States Date: February 2008
What are the effects of chlorine on the environment, and what can we do to stop it form being entered into the atmosphere?
Chlorine can have a good or bad effect on the environment. First, every time you put salt on your food you are adding chlorine in the form of sodium chloride. Second, every time you use laundry bleach you are using another form of chlorine. Third, drinking water is treated with a number of "kinds" of chlorine to kill bacteria that historically have killed millions of people. So chlorine is not just "bad" and other things are "good". Much of our water supply in homes is protected with a form of chlorine to prevent the spread of lethal microbes. There are other substances released into the atmosphere that are more dangerous if you look at the beneficial effects of chlorine.
