May be you can LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES if you are a new gardener like me. I am a new hobby container gardener, I do not know about gardening and plants' life. I cannot provide anything educational but may be you can learn from my mistakes. I did overwinter about 10 habanero none of them survived :(. Because I did not know how to do it, at least I should have BASIC knowledge and materials for overwinter. As a hobby container gardener I should do a little bit research before I started, that can save my time, money and will prevent unnecessary minor problems. I never knew/thought about the possible problems of insects, pests and fungus when we moved the plants indoors and its precautionary measures too. My mistakes: 1. Selection of containers is one of the keys to success container gardening I think. Without a good container a good container soil is almost useless it does not give anything good to my plants. What is a good container, I think you knew very well. It will be a long explanation but in short a good container should have drainage hole whether it is self-watering or not. All my containers are self-watering without drainage holes; I did not know proper use of self watering containers too. It was my FIRST BIG MISTAKE. 2. I used peat moss, I do not know exactly what it is but considered it as peat moss. I am 100% sure it is not the container soil our expert forum members talked about. I do not see any perlite, vermiculite, pine bark but it has sign of compost. I have some plants already have grown on the said soil. I started to know the important of mixed soil for the container gardening. So I have bought pine bark and perlite. Then I mixed the soil and started replacing by digging around the plants. It damaged the roots and gave a lot of stress to the plants. It was my SECOND BIG MISTAKE. 3. I have changed the soil just I said. However my plants could not get any improvement. I have checked some of the containers and found that too much soil that were compacting and suffocating the roots. It was my THIRD BIG MISTAKE. 4. I have repotted and fertilized the plants with the new mixed soil. I ignored the dose of concentrated fertilizer to mix in the water. I did fertilize very often in the soil and on the leaves too. As a result the plants got problems. It was my FOURTH BIG MISTAKE. 5. I got aphids and fungus gnats. I have applied insecticide, pesticide, fungicide and homemade remedy. It was killing my healthy plants, because I used too much without following the instructions. A few aphids and fungus gnats won't kill the plants and I do not need to apply heavy insecticides, it should be the last option I think (manually I could remove those aphids). It was my FIFTH BIG MISTAKE. 6. I did overwater due to the unreasonable self watering containers' water level indicators and incorrect use of self-watering containers. It was my SIXTH BIG MISTAKE. 7. Lighting, I use modified "energy daylight" without the white plastic protector it is powerful. I haven't used it when I started to grow these plants. I have started to use it after my plants have grown about 3-4 inches tall. I used too much instead of using gradually increase the time of lighting. It was my SEVENTH BIG MISTAKE. Now I have about 40 superhot baby chilies, the next season is going to be very hot season for me. I will avoid the mistakes I have made before and prepare for the new problems. Please do not make mistake like me. You may say I am foolish and crazy, that's OK :)) Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yep, those are all common mistakes of newer growers. Most of us on this list have dealt with the same issues at some point. However, it seems growers need to actually makes these mistakes before they learn from them. But it is all part of the experience and hopefully, when we do experience these problems, they do not result in a complete loss off a growing season but maybe just a minor setback that we are able to recover from and still have a productive season. I am entering my third full season growing peppers and I know that I will wind up dealing with several new and different problems that I didn't experience in years past but I also know that some of the old problems will crop up too. And some of those will be self inflicted problems that I should have learned to avoid by now. Never-the-less, I am certainly looking forward to getting started with this coming season which is a month or so away for me still. I have a couple overwinter plants to keep me busy in the mean time.

LPGA Golf Clinics for Women from MetLife Celebrate 20 years
of Empowering Women Through the Game of Golf
BOSTON, MA, June 8, 2010 - In 2010, the LPGA Golf Clinics for Women from MetLife is celebrating its 20th year of empowering women through the game of golf. The Clinics, founded by LPGA Legend Jane Blalock in 1990, are a series of one-day events hosted in 15 major markets that teach women how to use golf to develop business relationships and expand their network.
Blalock developed the LPGA Golf Clinics for Women with a mission beyond just teaching golf skills - she wanted to empower women to use golf as a tool for business. She originally conceived the Clinic concept after leaving the LPGA Tour and entering the finance industry. She noticed that she quickly became a sought-after playing partner for golf outings and realized that this played a critical role in her professional success. Blalock also noted that she was one of few women on the course and made it a goal to change this reality.
Since 1990, the Clinics have impacted the personal and professional lives of thousands of women and have now expanded to a robust online community where women can pick up tips and knowledge to get their games in shape and bolster on-course confidence. The Clinics also boast a strong corporate following with insurance industry leader MetLife filling the top position since 2008. Fidelity Investments, Nike Golf, Toshiba Business Solutions, Kraft Foods, American Airlines, FedEx Express and Golf Digest have all found the Clinics to be an essential component of their business development, marketing, diversity and inclusion initiatives.
"Every day, women across America are chipping away at the 'grass' ceiling," commented Blalock, who won 27 times on the LPGA Tour and currently serves as the CEO of The Legends Tour, Official Senior Tour of the LPGA. "No longer is the golf course the domain of just the businessman. Women are out there every day broadening their business, expanding relationships and taking charge of their own professional future."
Hosted by Blalock or another LPGA Tour Professional, each Clinic is attended by 125 executive women who are grouped together according to skill level and are led by an LPGA Teaching Professional. The LPGA Golf Clinics is the only series of its kind endorsed by the LPGA and is among the most well-respected programs for women.
"We will continue to work to empower women and will champion their use of golf to produce great dividends, both personally and professionally," added Blalock. "It's exciting to have been doing this for 20 years and we look forward to the next 20."
The Clinics kicked off their 20th Anniversary season in Los Angeles in March and then moved onto Dallas, Atlanta, Washington D.C., White Plains and Minneapolis. The remaining Clinics include the following stops:
June 21 - Boston, MA
July 12 - Chicago, IL
July 19 - Boston, MA
August 2 - Chicago, IL
August 9 - New York, NY
August 16 - West Orange, NJ
August 23 - San Jose, CA
September 20 - Hartford, CT
November 17 - Tampa, FL

This post is part one in a three part series about the effects of the Foreclosure Crisis in New York City.
When you think about cities ravaged by the foreclosure crisis, places like Arizona, California, Nevada and Florida often come to mind...and understandably so, given their role in the housing collapse and the devastation it wrought. One city, however, that is often overlooked when discussing the debilitating effects of foreclosure is New York. Read More »

Champions of East of Scotland Construction and Built Environment Challenge announced26 Jan 2012 A team of 10 pupils from Preston Lodge High School in Prestonpans, East Lothian, have become the 2011-2012 East of Scotland Construction and Built Environment Challenge champions, after beating off competition from over 26 other schools from across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Supporting the Curriculum for Excellence, the competition offers pupils the opportunity to take part in constructive teamwork and active learning outside the classroom. Throughout the heat stages, groups were set construction-related challenges.
The team of S2 pupils, aged between 13 and 14, scooped the title after an outstanding performance in series of activities at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, on Thursday 19th January 2012. These involved assembling a garden shed, tiling a replica roof and solving plumbing and electrical challenges. Second and third place was won by Armadale High School and Tynecastle High School respectively.
Ian Stirrat, Operations Manager in Scotland for SummitSkills who sponsored the event, said: "Congratulations to Preston Lodge High School as worthy winners of the CABEC East Final. The range of challenges undertaken which gives a practical outlet to the work covered under the Curriculum for Excellence will have given them an insight into some of the areas of work within the building services engineering sector, which some may wish to pursue as a career. SummitSkills is delighted to sponsor this event. The industry needs young people such as these to ensure it continues to offer first class products and services."
Anne Galbraith, Chief Executive of SECTT, a partner organisation to the event, said: "Well done to all the finalists and especially Preston Lodge High School who have triumphed today. This year's challenge has seen some of the region's best talent - next year's youngsters certainly have big shoes to fill.
"Undertaking a trade or starting a career in the construction or engineering industry is an excellent choice and it's very positive to see the young people who have taken part throughout the competition, eagerly experiencing the skills required."
The enthusiastic pupils were judged on teamwork, following instruction, working safely, tidiness, time and accuracy. Alasdair Allan MSP, Minister for Learning, Science and Scotland's Languages, was in attendance and was on hand to award prizes to the winning team.
The triumphant youngsters from Preston Lodge were delighted to take home the East of Scotland Construction and Built Environment Challenge trophy, a cheque for £300 for the school's CDT department and vouchers for the team members.
Alasdair Allan, Minister for Learning, Science and Scotland's Languages said: "I would like to congratulate the winners and finalists for their sterling achievements in this year's competition. The annual Construction and Built Environment Challenge is a great platform, in line with Curriculum for Excellence, for youngsters to transform classroom learning into practical experience and hone the skills required for a career in the construction sector. This event is a fantastic showcase for youngsters looking to move into the industry and ensure Scotland's construction sector is in good hands for the future.''
Now in its twelfth year, the East of Scotland Challenge this year is sponsored by the Scottish Government and SummitSkills, the Sector Skills Council for Building Services Engineering, and is also supported by ConstructionSkills, the Sector Skills Council for Construction. |

Find the Sparkle Punch Quilt-Along main page here.
Read about Mo's Sparkle Punch quilt here.
Today's post is all about the materials you'll need to make your very own Sparkle Punch Quilt.
These fabric requirements are for a 60" x 72" quilt (generous lap quilt size) but don't hesitate to make your own calculations/revisions to make the quilt in a different size.
This quilt design, with nestled stars that appear to continue off the quilt top, uses both whole and partial stars.
Clockwise from top-left: whole star, three-quarter star, quarter star, half star
All of the stars are made with sets of 3½" x 3½" squares. For the stars (just the stars - not the negative space behind them) you will need:
- 80 sets of 5 squares to make whole stars for the quilt top
- 4 sets of 5 squares to make whole stars for the quilt back
- 14 sets of 4 squares to make three-quarter stars for the quilt top
- 2 sets of 3 squares to make half stars for the quilt top
- 18 single squares to make quarter stars for the quilt top
If you prefer, you can make your composition include fewer stars, arranged in an asymmetrical arrangement kind of like this. If you do that, you'll end up needing fewer sets of squares to make stars and more fabric for your negative space. (I'll talk more about this kind of composition in the Making The Quit Top post.)
The color scheme for my quilt was inspired by this gorgeous Echino print so, for my stars, I raided my scraps to select monochromatic print and solid fabrics in pinks, purples, sea greens, grays, browns, beiges, and black. I also fussy-cut some squares from the Echino print.
You can use as many or few different fabrics for your stars as you want, but here are a couple of suggestions:
- Small to medium monochromatic prints and solids will show off the sharp edges of the stars more readily than larger, busier, and multicolored prints.
- Making your stars using fabrics with a range of value (light vs. dark), intensity (bright vs. neutral), and/or texture (print vs. solid) will add visual interest and movement. It will make your quilt sparkle!
- The partial stars will all end up around the edges of the quilt, so make sure they're not all the same color or fabric.
Most of my sets of squares are cut from the same fabric, but I did include a few sets with 4 identical squares for the points and 1 fussy-cut square for the center.
Quilt back from Mo's Sparkle Punch Quilt
In addition to the star fabrics, you'll need:
- 3½ yards neutral solid fabric for negative space (the star backgrounds)
- 64" x 76" batting
- 1¼ yards each of 4 different solid fabrics for the quilt back
- ½ yard fabric for binding
Note: These requirements contemplate fabric at least 42" wide.
I'm using Yarn-Dyed Essex Cotton-Linen in Flax for my negative space. For my quilt back, I'm using Kona solids in Stone, Jade Green, Pomegranate, and Charcoal. Because I just can't get enough faux bois, I'm using a brown woodgrain print from Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2 collection for the binding.
What colors/fabrics are you using for your Sparkle Punch quilt?
The next quilt-along post, Making the Stars, will be on January 11.

VAAST (the Variant Annotation, Analysis & Search Tool) is a probabilistic search tool for identifying damaged genes and their disease-causing variants in personal genome sequences. VAAST builds on existing amino acid substitution (AAS) and aggregative approaches to variant prioritization, combining elements of both into a single unified likelihood framework that allows users to identify damaged genes and deleterious variants with greater accuracy, and in an easy-to-use fashion. VAAST can score both coding and noncoding variants, evaluating the cumulative impact of both types of variants simultaneously. VAAST can identify rare variants causing rare genetic diseases, and it can also use both rare and common variants to identify genes responsible for common diseases. VAAST thus has a much greater scope of use than any existing methodology. Here we demonstrate its ability to identify damaged genes using small cohorts (n = 3) of unrelated individuals, wherein no two share the same deleterious variants, and for common, multigenic diseases using as few as 150 cases.

"As the youngest of 32 in my generation of the family, it was quite an honor to be invited to Grandma and Grandpa's for Sunday dinner. I remember them calling on Saturday to ask how many were going to be there so Grandpa knew how many eggs to make. When I was about 9 my grandfather taught me to make his noodles. I quickly forgot most of it and w..."

I was so excited to find this recipe and he was thrilled to find it waiting for him. We use it on burgers mostly and have also tried it on roasts. This is terrific. I have never tried the original but my husband sa..."
"My family LOVED this chicken and the gravy that I made with the drippings! The cayenne was a bit much for the little ones in the family but we remedied that by taking the skin off theirs. I also seasoned between the skin and meat. I was fearful of using the crockpot with no liquid but it turned out beautifully! We will be making this many more..."

I did a dumb thing and went out to my porch/deck to do soemthing in my bare feet. When I did, I ended up getting a 2 x 4 sized splinter in the foot, but it didn't go just in just beneath the skin, it went in at an angle and quite deep too. I tried to pull it out to no avail and ended up in the ER. They gave me a shot in my foot to numb it that hurt more than the darned 2 x 4 in my foot !! It raised this wide old body right up off the guerney. Anyway they had to cut into my foot the get the thing out, sort of like mini surgery. They gave me another shot in the butt for infection actually before they even started to pry that thing loose. The doctor there told the nurse to go get a log chain and mule to pull that tree out of my foot !! They do have a nice sense of humor there anyway. LOL
I can finally get a shoe on and it is healing a lot faster than I though it would. So today, I am going to try to get out of the house and take a little walk, even if it is just around the yard. Cabin fever is setting in and although DH is wonderful at taking care of me, it is getting to be just a bit cloying. I just need to do for myself again. So, there you have it. My calamity for the week last week. LOL But it could have been lots worse, so I am grateful that it wasn't. Thank you all for asking. Helen |

wowwww, Helen , That was overwhelming .. Take care .. If you feel you are missing ur exercise routine, you can still sit on a chair and do some weigh training for biceps, triceps with a 5 pound dumb bell. That would keep up your metabolism up . :-)) |

Jasmi, I have been doing exactly that ! I would die or sheer boredom if I didn't do something physical. That's probably why I still managed to lose what I did this week. Helen |

Man! That hurts me just thinking about it. I have run out to do something barefoot too. But, not anymore. I'm always fussing at my young grandson for doing it too. I will be sure to share with him what happened to you. Get well soon. Betty |

Can anyone id this plant that belongs to my friend? He says it is evergreen and about 24" tall and in a big clump several feet wide. It is growing in his yard in the northern part of CT, zone 6. Thanks in advance for any ideas. If it's something desirable I might be able to convince him to come to the fall plant swap! |

Looks like the white form of Obedient plant/physostegia. The site claims it isn't invasive but the pink form does spread rapidly. I yank it out every year but it comes back. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Obedient plant
I'm pretty sure that it's some type of heather/Calluna vulgaris. If the flowers are quite small, it's heather. It's a lovely small evergreen shrub that thrives in sandy acid soil. One of my favorite plants, it comes in many different varieties with pink, purplish or white flowers and foliage that ranges in color from deep green to silvery to bright golds, chartreuse and even reds and oranges. An excellent plant, but not one that you can in general divide. I have had ones self-seed or had branches root that I could then separate from the mother plant, or I know that they can be started from cuttings if you are good at that, though I have never tried that. It's definitely a keeper! |

EC Action: Children
John Stanley (Tonbridge and Malling, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what steps the Government are taking to ensure that the 1996 Hague Convention on the Protection of Children is ratified by all EU member states before 5 June 2010 in accordance with Council Decision 2008/431/EC of 5 June 2008; and if he will make a statement.
Bridget Prentice (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Ministry of Justice; Lewisham East, Labour)
Eight EU member states are already Contracting States to the Convention. Council Decision 2008/431/EC authorised the UK and other remaining EU member states to ratify or accede to the convention, and requires the simultaneous deposit of their instruments of ratification or accession, if possible before
In November 2009 the UK expected to conclude its legislative process by June 2010. Under the convention this would have enabled implementation three months later, on
However, it will not now be possible for the UK to complete its implementing legislation as intended in June 2010. The intention now is to have all necessary legislation in place to enable the UK to ratify by
The UK remains firmly committed to ratification and implementation of this important convention and is working to achieve this.

What do you like about PLP?
One of my favorite aspects of the program is the opportunity to live on the first year PLP floor. Living with all of the first year PLPers is a great way to quickly make friends and build a foundation for yourself here at DU.
What is your favorite experience from PLP?
I love the numerous chances PLP students have to bond with one another and the faculty. My favorite experience with PLP was my first year retreat when I got to really learn about the other students in the program.

Honda Accord (1990-1993) Maintenance and Repair
mrbill1957 Posts: 818
donswartz Posts: 28I have a 1991 honda accord. The car would not start during the summer one year. I would work all day and go out to my car and it would not turn over. I would try to jump the car and nothing. I read somewhere that the master relay, found under the dash on the driver's side on the left side of the car, goes bad and won't start during hot days. I replaced it and haven't had a problem since. I think I paid about $60 for the part. I hope this helps.
If anyone has any suggestions about my selt belt alarm I would love to know how to fix it. Read my previous message about 4 up. Thanks for anyones help. -
donswartz Posts: 28Yes thanks for the post. It is a little more complicated than I can understand. I don't know anything about jumping circuits and all. I will replace a part if I need to I was just not following what you were saying. I appreciate the time you took to look into the situation. Thanks.
user777 Posts: 3,341there is a switch in the run of the seatbelt latch. either the switch opens (to inhibit the flow of current in the ckt) when the latch starts to move to the back of the window, or the switch closes (to allow the current to flow in the ckt). The ckt (short-hand for circuit) is the one which the belt monitor checks to make sure you have your belts on.
i'm thinking the problem may be in the switch in the run, and not in the seat.
pass the information to someone a bit more familiar with vehicle wiring. maybe they can help. good luck. -
lilengineerboy Posts: 4,116
iwantmoney Posts: 6I have a 1990 Honda accord lx with problems. The car revs up to 2700rpm then drops to 900 over and over. This makes the car overheat on my drive to school (about 8 blocks). I need to fix it fast and cheap, please help. The car starts without incident. I think the problem begins when the car gets warm and it doesnt stop. The engine revs and drops while driving, in park and in neutral. Any help would be great.
swoopineagle Posts: 3There is an access panel in the trunk to get to the fuel pump . I disconnected the electric connection. There are three wires. a red, a black, and a yellow. with a volt meter. I put my black probe on the black wire and the red probe on the red wire. I got about 24 VAC with the ignition in the on position. Then I moved the red probe to the yellow wire and I am getting about 13 VAC. since I am getting current at the connection, then is my main fuel relay good? Also is the voltage reading correct. Also I am not hearing the pump come on. :sick: Does anyone have any suggestions on this. and where can I get a cheap fuel pump that works? again Thank You for any Help.
thegraduate Posts: 9,731
thegraduate Posts: 9,731Ok, that's probably a good sign. You can live without RPM info, but if it was actually racing, you'd have a more serious issue. Good luck finding help. My speedometer went out a few years ago; to fix it they had to replace the whole instrument unit, odometer and all. My car now has about 160,000 miles on it, but it reads 48,200 miles because of the new unit. I wonder if a new dash module is in order for you, too? Does anybody know?
tom1sharon2 Posts: 40While I am not familiar with the differences in the model years '90 thru '93, this is the first time I've ever heard of an access panel for the fuel pump. I had always thought you could only get to it by removing the gas tank.
There is, however, an access panel for the fuel level tank unit. Could this be what you were looking at? :confuse:
There should be an electrical connector for the fuel pump under the back seat in near proximity to the tank unit. (Assuming) this is the connector you're checking, you should read 12v on the yellow wire and the black wire is ground. I have no idea what the red wire is, but it's not for the fuel pump. It is not shown anywhere on my schematics.
Once you've verified that you have voltage at the pump and a good ground then your main relay is ok.
As far as finding a cheap fuel pump goes, I can only suggest shopping around at parts stores through the yellow pages or surfing the web. If you going to do it yourself, you may want to get your hands on a maintenance manual to see what replacing it involves. -
tom1sharon2 Posts: 40Oh yes, the most important thing I neglected to mention. You your stated your readings as VAC. Thought at first this might be a typo, but if you were getting 24 volts out of a 12 volt circuit you likely had your meter set for A.C. instead of D.C., which would make your readings bogus. Make sure your meter is set on the correct VDC setting and recheck.

lilengineerboy Posts: 4,116The fuel relay fails inttermittent. If you are getting voltage back there see if the car starts. I am still thinking its that main relay. The car would start fine in the morning in the garage, sit at work all day in the sun, and then not start when I wanted to go home...no fuel.
When I would check it in the morning it was fine. You might want to spend a minute and google "Honda main relay" and get some hints that way too. -

donswartz Posts: 28Please help me. I have a 1991 honda accord and my seat belt lights flashes and the alarm sounds. I have automatic belts. When I open the passenger's side door the sound and blinking will still continue. When I open the driver's side door it stops. When it is blinking and flashing I disconnect the driver's side selt belt and nothing happens and if I disconnect the belt on the passenger's side the light goes solid. I have taken out both seats. The harnesses below the seats are contected. I plugged and unplugged the wires from the seat belt control unit under the passenger's seat. I have read a lot of people are having problems with this just haven't been able to find the answer. Please I beg you please help. Thanks.
iwantmoney Posts: 6the car does over heat, I thought that was a result of the rpm surging. The rpms start to surge before then engine temp gague reaches avegage temp. Also, I experimented by disconnecting the EACV plug. When I did this the check engine light came on (it never came on before) and the idle stated sugring from 1200-1400rpms instead of 1000-2500rpms. I need to fix fast, i need my car back!!
lvemyhonda Posts: 1Hey man I came across this looking for the same thing! The exact same car with the exact same problem! Thank God I thought it was just me. The only difference with mine is that the retractor on the passenger side door doesn't me like it is supposed to half the time and when it does I cant open the passenger side door or it stops working again

tom1sharon2 Posts: 40From a 1993 owners manual, for what it's worth.
The radio must be on and the word "CODE" must show in the display.
Enter the 5 digit code using the preset station buttons.
(the code is printed on the cards that came with your radio)
Be sure to complete the number sequence even if a mistake was made. For example, if you entered the wrong number in the second position, continue entering the last three numbers anyway. A beep will then sound after five digits are entered and the word "CODE" will reappear in the display. You should then enter the correct code.
Once you've entered the correct code sequence the word "CODE should disappear and the radio should operate.
If the correct code is not entered in three successive tries, the radio will not accept entry at this time. You must wait one hour with the radio left ON to re-enter the correct code. -
donswartz Posts: 28I have read a lot of posts around that people are having problems with this though nobody is posting how to fix it. I have tried a lot of things. I just don't want to go replacing parts if the part is good. It is a 1991 for crying out loud. Though it drives me nuts. I want to sell the car and nobody would buy it right now. I have unplugged the harness under the passenger seat. Now everytime I go to get out I closeline myself because the belt doesn't retract. Someone please help up. Thanks.
greeny1 Posts: 1Hello, need help. My 1992 Honda Accord LX has no brake lights. All 3 bulbs are fine, checked every fuse in fuse box in engine compartment and fuse box in panel on drivers side inside of car. What should I look for now. I was told there is a brake switch under brake pedal, how do I test it? Thanks for any help.

I'd like to pass this thought around like a bag of chips so no licking your fingers please.
I'm getting more and more (and more) frustrated with debating whether or not to use a Skill Point only to still~ fail the test by 1. The way the mechanic is set up is understandable in that you may or may not succeed even with the help. The question of being able to choose to use luck is moot. Both versions allow you to choose if you use Luck. What I'd like is for you to consider the impact of being able to add luck after the fact (as is done in some puzzle solving).
For example, an Investigator rolls against his dexterity missing the result by 2. His luck is 3 and decides to use one skill point making his check a success by 1. Even though this would be a small edit in the rules it will vastly change the outcome. I support with the following reasons….
1-The new Luck ruling would be known. All players know going in that the Luck can be used when wanted and adjust accordingly.
2-The Investigator player still needs to decide when and if they use any Skill points to gain the Luck value.
3-Even with this powerful ability, a check is not guaranteed.
4-Several abilities at the Keepers disposal can still cause a check to fail.
5-As an Investigator you gain a choice and lose frustration.
6-The keeper normally has the advantage. This helps close that gap.
7-Luck will feel like luck!
This is by no means a new topic but worth revisiting. I do not think that the current ruling represents luck all that well. Luck is something you discover after the fact and recognize it. You don't go in buying a lotto ticket knowing you will win, you buy a ticked and are surprised when you do win.

2009 Opel Combo CNG news, pictures, specifications, and information | ||
Tweet |
CNG: Everyday Suitability, Environmental Compatibility, Economical
• Zafira ecoFLEX Turbo first natural gas production van wîth turbocharging• Zafira 1.6 CNG and Combo 1.6 CNG need only 5.0/4.9 kg natural gas per 100 km
• Full versatility and cargo capacity retained wîth underfloor gas tank arrangement
Rüsselsheim. The monovalentplus concept Opel has used in its natural gas-powered vehicles (CNG = Compressed Natural Gas) since 2002 is unique on the market. Among its many advantages and benefits, this system boasts unrivalled operating costs, produces up to 80 percent lower emissions and 20 percent less CO2 than a comparable gasoline engine. It enables an operating range of up to 400 kilometers in natural gas mode and guarantees unrestricted passenger and luggage compartment use. Opel CNG vehicles feature a gasoline reserve tank that increases operating range by around 150 kilometers, ensuring full everyday suitability. The 1.6-liter natural gas engine is designed to run on natural gas, biogas, or any mixture of the two.
Opel Zafira ecoFLEX Turbo: Performance meets economics
For the first time, Opel has combined economical, low-emission Compressed Natural Gas propulsion wîth powerful turbocharger technology in the Zafira 1.6 CNG ecoFLEX Turbo. It is now available, starting at 25,430 euros, and allows Opel to ring in a new era of CNG wîth impressive performance. The new Zafira's rated output of 150 hp and maximum torque of 210 Nm between 2 300 and 5 000 rpm ensure plenty of power in all situations. The high torque not only allows a more powerful drive, it also keeps energy consumption low in everyday use.
The seven-seater accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 11.5 seconds and has a top speed of 200 km/h. In the MVEG cycle, it consumes just 5.1 kg of natural gas per 100 km. This cor-responds to a CO2 emission figure of just 139 g/km – a new best-in-class in this vehicle and power category. Expressed in terms of the driver and all six passengers, this translates into just under 20 grams per seat and kilometer when the Zafira is fully loaded.
Opel Zafira 1.6 CNG ecoFLEX: Maximum versatility thanks to patented Flex7 system
Just like the Turbo, the new-edition Zafira 1.6 CNG ecoFLEX, which was launched in February 2008, also features the unique Flex7 seating system, which enables it to be transformed quickly from a seven to a two-seater without cumbersome seat removal. Thanks to the clever underfloor arrangement of the four natural gas tanks around the rear axle, the Zafira's versatility and spaciousness remain unaltered. In its standard seating arrangement, the natural gas Zafira offers 645 liters of luggage compartment space – the largest of all seven-seat compact vans. The Zafira 1.6 CNG's maximum load capacity is 1820 liters.
The Zafira 1.6 CNG ecoFLEX's particular highlight is its outstanding efficiency. Average consumption of around 5.0 kg of natural gas per 100 kilometers, wîth an average H-gas price of 0.97 euros per kilogram (early 2009), translates into a fuel cost saving of around 30 percent compared to diesel, and over 50 percent compared to gasoline. Tax and insurance ratings are at the same level as those of a comparable gasoline variant. The 69 kW/94 hp natural gas van also has clear advantages in terms of environmental compatibility. By virtue of its propulsion unit, it produces 80 percent less nitrogen oxide than a diesel, and almost 20 percent less CO2 than a gasoline model (nearly 10 percent less CO2 than diesel). And the exhaust gases contain almost no soot particles.
High-level safety
The Zafira CNG is also ideally equipped when it comes to safety: the high-strength steel gas tanks and stainless steel gas pipes are safely located outside the impact zone. This was already confirmed by ADAC in a crash test conducted wîth the first Zafira CNG: 'The gas tanks stored in a metal compartment remained in their original position during both frontal and side collisions, despite body deformation. They are therefore optimally protected against damage. The entire gas system stayed tightly sealed, also a result of the safety valves that automatically close on the tanks,' said the automobile club experts, summing up the test results. In addition, the results clearly showed that the risk of fire wîth natural gas vehicles is no higher than normal. This is also due to the fact that natural gas is much less flammable than gasoline or diesel, and in the highly unlikely event of a leak, it dissipates immediately. This means CNG vehicles can be parked in any underground garage. Like all Zafiras, the 1.6 CNG ecoFLEX also features the extensive and extremely effective SAFETEC safety system that earned the new Zafira the maximum rating of five stars for passenger protection in the Euro NCAP crash tests (European New Car Assessment Programme).
Únrestricted everyday suitability
The natural gas Zafira's excellent efficiency and unrestricted everyday suitability is ensured by the innovative monovalentplus concept. The 1.6-liter CNG engine, which has an increased compression ratio for high efficiency, is designed to run on natural gas, biogas, or any mixture of the two. The unit has special pistons, valves and valve-seat inserts, as well as separate injection banks for natural gas and gasoline. In addition, the engine management system was optimized for natural gas operation. A 14liter gasoline reserve tank ensures continued mobility on routes without a natural gas filling station. Thanks to economical consumption and the four natural gas tanks' capacity of 21 kilograms, the Zafira CNG has an operating range of around 530 kilometers.
Opel Combo 1.6 CNG ecoFLEX: Cargo volume up to 3200 liters
Available since June 2005, the Opel Combo 1.6 CNG is a spacious, multi-functional natural gas vehicle. With an average consumption of 4.9 kg of natural gas per 100 kilometers, the 69 kW/94 hp high-roof van is very economical and environmentally friendly. Accordingly, Opel awarded the car the ecoFLEX badge, which it gives to only the most economical and low emission variants. Tax and insurance ratings are at the same level as those of the gasoline unit. The Combo CNG's top speed is 165 km/h and acceleration from zero to 100 km/h takes 15 seconds.
Thanks to the clever underfloor arrangement of the three gas tanks around the Combo's space-saving rear axle, the alternative propulsion requires no compromises in terms of practicality. Just like its conventionally powered counterparts, the compact Combo CNG offers up to 3050 liters cargo volume in its five-seat Combo, Edition, Arizona and Sport variants, while the panel van even offers a maximum 3200 liters. The tanks hold 17.5 kilograms or 108 liters of natural gas. Combined wîth a 14-liter gasoline reserve tank, this enables an operating range of over 500 kilometers. The Combo CNG features the same high safety standards as the gasoline entry-level version. The tanks that hold the natural gas compressed to 200 bar are tested before installation at a pressure of 300 bar. The high-strength steel tanks are protected by underbody shields and, together wîth the stainless steel gas pipes, are located outside the impact zone.
World Premiere in Leipzig: Opel Prototype Combo Tour 1.6 CNG
• Full Combo spaciousness thanks to underfloor natural gas tanks• Natural gas and gasoline tanks ensure range of up to 550 kilometers
• Major savings in fuel costs, guaranteed tax advantage until 2020*
Rüsselsheim/Leipzig. The huge success of the Zafira 1.6 CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and the Astra Caravan 1.6 CNG has prompted Opel to include a third natural gas vehicle in its range. Opel's subsidiary OSV (Opel Special Vehicles) will present its prototype of the Combo Tour 1.6 CNG at the14th Auto Mobil International (AMI) in Leipzig (April 17 - 25, 2004). The prototype will be shown at the natural gas suppliers' association stand (Stand F32/Hall 3), and the market launch is expected in the second half of 2005.
Like the Zafira 1.6 CNG and the Astra Caravan 1.6 CNG, which accounted for a market share of nearly 60 percent of Germany's natural gas passenger cars in 2003, the Combo 1.6 CNG has three gas tanks holding 19 kilograms or 110 liters of volume, as well as a
14 liter gasoline reserve tank. One advantage of this innovative monovalentplus concept is that the driver can switch over to gasoline supply directly from the cockpit when the gas tanks are empty and there is no natural gas station nearby. CNG-Combo's operating range then increases from 400 to around 550 kilometers. Thanks to its unique, space-saving underfloor gas tank system, the Combo 1.6 CNG offers as much room as the Combo models wîth gasoline or diesel engines wîth maximum loading capacities between 2,695 and 3,050 liters.
In addition to its spaciousness, the Combo 1.6 CNG's economic efficiency is its greatest asset. Taking average fuel consumption of 5.3 kilograms of H-quality natural gas per
100 kilometers and the current price of 0.68 Euro per kilo of natural gas, fuel costs can be reduced by up to 30 percent compared to the diesel Combo or even 50 percent compared to the gasoline-fueled Combo.
Another advantage of driving natural gas cars is the fact that some 65 percent of all regional and local natural gas providers in Germany promote this environmentally friendly form of fuel. (concept carz) They either contribute an average of 1300 Euro to the purchase of a natural gas car or supply the car owner wîth an average of 1500 kilograms CNG fuel free of charge. Natural gas fuel is also tax-advantaged until 2020 - unlike gasoline and diesel. It is also environmentally friendlier, as natural gas engines emit far fewer pollutants than conventional combustion engines. As a result, the Combo 1.6 CNG's CO2 emission is only 140 grams per kilometer.
The 1.6 CNG engine is based on the popular 1.6-Liter ECOTEC gasoline engine and has power output of 71 kW (97 hp) at a maximum torque of 140 Newton meters. The engine was optimized for natural gas operation and has separate injection bank for each type of fuel. (concept carz) With 130 octane, natural gas is distinctly more knock resistant than gasoline. Opel focused on maximum natural gas operation efficiency and raised the compression ratio to 12.5:1. In spite of its economic efficiency, the Combo 1.6 CNG impresses wîth lively performance, a top speed of 166* km/h and a 0-100 sprint in 14* seconds (*preliminary data).
With a total capacity of 110 liters or 19 kilograms, the underfloor tanks allow a range of approximately 400 kilometers. The gasoline reserve tank increases operating range of the Combo 1.6 CNG to about 550 kilometers. Switching over from natural gas to gasoline operation simply requires the turn of a switch located on the center console or happens automatically when the natural gas supply is too low. The system simultaneously switches over to the corresponding pressure or gasoline gauge for the fuel in use. A universal gasoline filler neck enables refueling without an adapter in countries wîth different natural gas station norms, such as Italy. The Combo 1.6 CNG can also be fueled wîth biogas.
The Combo 1.6 CNG meets highest safety standards, too. The entire tank system is mounted to the underbody wîth steel retaining bands and the tanks are additionally protected by an underbody panelling. Each gas tank has its own valve and is made of high-strength steel, wîth stainless steel gas pipes.
The location of the gas tanks outside of the impact zone guarantees highest possible safety for passengers and environment. Moreover, natural gas is potentially safer than gasoline in case of accident.
If a leak were to occur, the natural gas would dissipate into the atmosphere because it is lighter than air, and at 650° Celsius its ignition temperature is substantially higher than that of gasoline. Drivers of a CNG-powered Opel model do not need to heed the signs in German parking garages prohibiting entry to gas-powered vehicles. Entrance is prohibited to gas-powered vehicles wîth fuel heavier than air, such as liquid gas. Due to high safety standards, the technical inspection association in Germany (TÜV - Technischer Überwachungsverein) makes no differentiation between natural gas and conventional vehicles in mandatory general inspections, wîth the exception of requiring separate inspection of the gas tanks every ten years.
The entire gas tank assembly is installed in the series production models by Opel Special Vehicles GmbH (OSV) in Rüsselsheim. Founded in January 2000, this Adam Opel AG subsidiary currently employs 350 staff and has been manufacturing standard Opel natural gas models since 2002. Further OSV products include the sporty OPC models, the modification of public authority and special-purpose vehicles for police, driving schools and taxi cab companies as well as diverse customization of Opel standard models. More than 65,000 Opel modifications were completed by OSV GmbH in 2003.
The CNG models are part of Opel's threefold strategy to decrease carbon dioxide emissions to 140 grams per kilometer in its new vehicle fleet by 2008. The use of alternative fuels such as natural gas plays an important role in this strategy, in addition to optimizing proven technologies and developing ready for series production vehicles equipped wîth hydrogen energized fuel-cell propulsion systems.
OSV General Manager Stefan Schrahe states: 'With the Combo 1.6 CNG we want to make our customers an offer no other manufacturer can match at this stage. Its innovative technology makes it an extremely clean and economical vehicle, wîth no limitations on everyday use or spaciousness.'Source - Opel

While style is a matter of personal preference, the best way to judge the comfort of a shoe is by trying it out in a shop. Some buying advice:
Because leather is kinder to your feet than vinyl, take a close look at what the shoes you're lusting after are made of. You can get full leather shoes (uppers and lining) for a lot less than our $425 Anne Kleins. You might even find them around the $140 mark — comparable to the Nine Wests, which didn't have a leather lining.
Our experts will tell you that leather shoes are better for your feet. They wick away perspiration, whereas most synthetic shoes will leave your feet bathed in their own sweat — not only uncomfortable, but smelly. There are different grades of synthetic materials and some even have pores to allow your feet to breathe. Unfortunately it's impossible to tell which is which just by looking at it, but it's a fair bet to say, when it comes to materials, that you get what you pay for. Shoes with a leather lining will stretch and mould to your feet, so they'll ultimately be more comfortable. Synthetic linings have little give, so your feet will just push against them until they eventually disintegrate. As for leather soles, it comes down to personal preference. Some people love them, while others find rubber soles more comfortable and practical — leather can be slippery.

Cornerstone Tutorials is an educational service that offers classical, Christian, world view tutorials! Each course integrates multiple subjects and includes Socratic discussion of the Great Books combined with the Institute for Excellence in Writing methods taught by Cathy Flowers, IEW Certified Instructor. 3-5 credits in each course!
"…built …with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone" (Ephesians 2:20).
John Whitehead challenges us with a series of questions: "Are you teaching your children that Christianity is a system of thought that applies to all of life? Are they being educated to…vigorously resist humanistic values and infringement on their rights? …Will [they] know how to attack the desperate crisis we face from a Christian [world view]?"
Can your student give reasoned answers to these seven world view questions?
1. Is there a God? If so, what is He like?
2. What is the nature of man?
3. What is the universe like?
4. What is the cause of evil and suffering?
5. What is the basis of ethics and morality?
6. What happens to man at death?
7. What is the meaning of life and history?
Deciding how we ought to live our lives and relate to others is dependent upon how we answer these world view questions. Each Cornerstone Tutorial helps students lay a solid Biblical foundation—a Christian moral compass—that they'll need to evaluate ideas they'll confront in life.
Cornerstone Tutorials, with the Institute for Excellence in Writing method, is a program of study based on Cornerstone Curriculum's Starting Points and World Views of the Western World courses. They feature Socratic discussion about the Great Books and integrate multiple subjects:
Bible Western Civilization
Literature American Government
Writing Political Theory
World History Humanities
American History Art and Music History and Appreciation
And more! A few hours of selected study each day grants 3-5 high school credits per course!
Students discover for themselves the thoughts and ideas of key leaders and thinkers of each era who have influenced Western culture. Under the mentoring of Cathy Flowers, they analyze how these ideas are revealed in original sources and classics. As Great Books studies are combined with Socratic discussions and Mrs. Flowers' instruction in the Institute for Excellence in Writing program, students first embrace their Christian views, then learn to effectively communicate their own reasoned answers. How do these tutorials work? Click here.
Institute for Excellence in Writing IEW is our method of writing instruction which teaches students how to think and write truth. To learn about how this method of writing (as well as art and history) is integrated into the tutorials, go here. To see Andrew Pudewa's introduction to IEW writing, click "play" on the THINK video here.
OUR GOAL: The goal is for students to "own" their faith as they assess ideas and communicate them using rhetoric skills in a compelling and engaging way to a culture that sorely needs Christ's redeeming effects.
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect" (1 Peter 3:15).

The non-handed Steel Hawk® 4300 is the easiest way to electrify an aluminum entrance door. The amazing design of the Steel Hawk® allows it to adapt to any door swing right out of the box – thanks to its patented two-way winged technology. The Steel Hawk retrofits to 4900/4500/4700 Adams Rite deadlatches using the same strike, and is compatible with existing handles, paddles and levers. Just open the box. Install. Hook up power. That's it.
