inukeu2 Posts: 23I will be trailering my e46 525 in the next few weeks and was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a good way to secure the vehicle to the trailer without using axle straps. I have located a product on bimmerworld that bolts to the bottom of the shock absorber and allows you to hook straight to that point. This is cool but it does not specifically say that it works for 5's. The other thing I found was a hook that goes in the jack points. This too is good but will put the straps between the wheels rather than fore or aft where the d-rings in the trailer floor are. Can anyone help me with suggestions?

church38 Posts: 6All, need some help. Bought my 5iver in Germany and they installed the long european plate holder on the car. When I got back from Germany I took the long plate holder off to install the American plate holder and got a big surprise. There are 2 holes on either side of the American plate holder that are not covered. The dealer used more self tappping screws than holes that were originally in the bumper. I'm looking for an oversized front plate holder for a 525i 2004 BMW to cover the holes made by the dealer. Body shop wants $350 to fix the holes, I might go back to Germany so if I can just cover it I will be happy. Does anyone know where I can buy one?????

Kirstie_H Posts: 10,918A magazine reporter would love to find some folks who've pimped their own rides. He is particularly interested in people who've done this for the first time and were driven to do it, at least in part, from watching a tv show like Pimp My Ride, Overhaulin' or something similar. He is looking for average drivers who are just discovering that they can personalize their rides, and is not as interested in the traditional tuner crowd who've been doing this for years.

dreamstar Posts: 8I just placed and order with my local BMW Dealer in Concord CA for a 2005 BMW 330Ci Convertible. The after market BMW dealer installed car alarm does not include a motion detector because of a mounting issue with 2005 330ci Convertibles. Can anyone suggest a good after market car alarm for this type of vehicle that would include a motion detector or at least something that would include intrusion detection of the vehicle via the convertible top that would not void the manufactures warranty?
jgbjr Posts: 2Recently acquired '02 525i. Locked car with dog inside when I went into a bakery.Alarm went off .Is there a way to disable the interior motion detector?Can the key be reprogrammed? My immediate fix was to partially roll down the driver's window, reach in and push the lock.Of course , the dog's paws step on the lock button and hazard flasher on the console anyway, so she inadvertently locks and unlocks the car a few times per trip.
my1stbmw Posts: 1I just bought an '01 740i. I want to add satellite radio to it but have heard bad things about the FM modulators...any experiences out there to share? Also, the cup holders in the dash are worthless if you have the full screen navigation...my starbucks cup won't fit 'cause it is too tall. Any word on a different cupholder configuration?
davv62 Posts: 76Does anybody know what the potential issues are with getting a new cellphone when the phone is wired into the car's computer system.
I have a 2001 BMW 530i. My cellphone plugs into the car's computer system, and can be activated by voice.
The phone is getting old and I'd like to replace it. Has anybody dealt with this issue before? -
beaming Posts: 40I don't know where you can get one, but I just got one with the delivery of my new BMW. The one thing about the BMW key I don't like is that it's a regular type key. I'm a former Mercedes owner and I loved my key to that car , no protruding metal sticks!!!!!
Question for you: I would like some advice on assembling the darn thing. It has the plastic pin and cap and a little leather strip with a hole on each end. I know it goes through the pin somehow, but how? and what is the purpose of the strip? does the key go through it?
I'm surprised the dealer couldn't help you with getting a new another one, the dealer told me that no one uses or wants them but I want to use it so I don't have the key poking holes in my pockets. I miss my Mercedes key!!! -
mmihailov Posts: 6I bought a 2002 BMW 530I with the sport package. My wife doesn't like the seats of this car, so I want to change the passenger seat. Can someone tell me where I can buy another seat for the car, or give me an idea what else I could do( for example, I don't know if the seat can be somehow modified to be made more comfortable). Thank you. Michael.
div2 Posts: 2,580I bought a 2002 BMW 530I with the sport package. My wife doesn't like the seats of this car, so I want to change the passenger seat.
Me, I'd start looking for a new wife. That said, if you must fit a less sporting seat, I'd look at the BMW breakers listed in Roundel or Bimmer. I'd also check eBay. -
jaliee Posts: 1I just bought a 2003 525 i and I would like to upgrade the stereo system and add navigation. I was going back and forth between Pioneer and Alpine when my co-worker advised me against having an after-market navigation system installed in the BMW dash. Is this a no-no and if so, what would you suggest? I am looking for the Ipod/Navigation system combination, but I do not want to hurt my bmw either.
Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated. -

As teenagers, chef Vivian Howard and filmmaker Cynthia Hill couldnt wait to leave eastern North Carolinas tobacco fields and hog farms behind for bigger cities and broader horizons.
The women grew up seven miles apart in Lenoir County. Howard escaped Deep Run, an unincorporated fire district outside Kinston, via boarding school and then college at N.C. State University. Hill traded the town of Pink Hill for Chapel Hill to study pharmacy.
The two soon learned that no matter how fiercely you long to leave, the longing to go back home may be just as great.
In 2006, Howard, 36, returned with her husband, Ben Knight, to open Chef & the Farmer restaurant in downtown Kinston, 90 minutes southeast of Raleigh. In 2011, Hill, 43, who lives in Durham, began filming Howard for what would become the PBS cooking show and documentary, A Chefs Life.
Today, the two women are responsible for introducing eastern North Carolina to a national audience; the first season of A Chefs Life was broadcast in PBS markets covering 92 percent of the country and has been viewed 15 million times.
Last month, the show won a Peabody award, the broadcast equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize. A Chefs Life also was a finalist for a James Beard broadcast award, an honor that carries some weight in the world of restaurants and chefs.
Their success has not come without struggle. Both public and cable television networks rejected their show early on. Some folks in Kinston were wary about how their community would be portrayed. The show still hasnt found a big-ticket sponsor. They just finished filming the second season and are planning a third despite still owing money for the first.
A lot of what we do is, we just do it, Hill said. We have faith.
A circuitous path home
Growing up, Howard was friends with Hills younger sister. So when she came up with the idea for the show, Howard sought advice from Hill, who worked in the film industry. Hill thought Howard was crazy for opening a restaurant in a struggling former tobacco town. But when Hill realized what a talented chef Howard was, she thought: OK, this could be interesting.
Howard had left Deep Run thinking she would one day work in journalism, and she even interned at CBS Sunday Morning. After college, she spent 18 months working in advertising in New York City. She quit hoping to become a food writer and then noticed a Hiring sign at Voyage restaurant in the West Village.
Howard waited tables and then talked the chef into training her in the kitchen. She parlayed that experience into stints working for chef Wyle Dufrense at his groundbreaking restaurant WD-50 and then for superstar chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at Spice Market. Around this time, Howard and Knight started a food delivery business out of their apartment. When a friend offered to help finance a storefront, her former brother-in-law Ray Collier intervened.
Although the opening montage of A Chefs Life says her parents offered to help the couple open a restaurant, Howard says it was actually Collier who asked them to return to open a restaurant for him in downtown Kinston. It soon became apparent, however, that Collier was upfitting a downtown building to become a restaurant for the couple to own and operate.
Everybody thought it was a wild idea, said Collier, who has known Howard since she was a young child. I had confidence in her.
Collier says he couldnt have foreseen that Howard would end up creating a television show and securing a deal for two cookbooks, which was announced 10 days ago.
I knew shed make it in the restaurant business, Collier said. She doesnt quit.
Something different
Thats a trait Howard shares with Hill, who followed a similarly circuitous path to her filmmaking career.
Hill had admired the pharmacist with whom her mother worked at a local drugstore. He was respected and successful. Hill came from a modest upbringing; after her parents divorced, she lived with her mother, two siblings, grandparents and an uncle in a three-bedroom house.
I didnt want to be poor anymore, she said. I wanted something different.
While working her way through pharmacy school at UNC-Chapel Hill, Hill was bartending one night when she met a television production crew working on an episode of an accident reconstruction show being shot in Chapel Hill.
She was captivated. Befriending a crew member, she was soon learning about the world of filmmaking. She made videos to fulfill the project requirements for her pharmacy rotations, including interviewing residents on the Zuni Indian reservation in New Mexico about diabetes after working a three-month rotation at the hospital there.
Bill Campbell, then-dean of UNCs pharmacy school, encouraged Hill to pursue a masters degree in pharmacy administration at Auburn University, whose program included a vast video operation.
Hill attended Auburn for 18 months without finishing her degree. She imagined a future making health education videos. Instead, she married a man who owned a video post-production company and moved to New York. When that marriage ended, she moved to Durham, attracted by its ties with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke. She made two films along the way about migrant workers and tobacco farmers.
When Hill returned to Durham, she needed a part-time job to support her filmmaking, so she returned to pharmacy. She works three or four days a month for Walmart, filling in when other pharmacists are on vacation, and spends the rest of the time on her film projects: promoting Private Violence, a documentary she made about domestic violence that premiered this year at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, and working on A Chefs Life.
Howard and Hills partnership works because both women intuitively understand the food landscape they are trying to portray. A Chefs Life isnt just a cooking show. Its also a documentary about Howards life and an exploration of Down East food traditions, highlighting such dishes as collard kraut and chicken and rice.
Living Southern foodways
Two weeks ago, Howard and Hill were at a chicken farm filming for the 13th episode of the second season. They took a break before Howard was to eviscerate a chicken for the first time on camera.
Howard noted, with disappointment, that they had not included cucumbers as a key ingredient in planning for the third season. The two rhapsodized about the simple salt and vinegar cucumber salad that was a summertime staple on their families tables.
Their banter moved onto squash, the ingredient to be profiled in the first episode of season three. Howard described how squash and onions are cooked down in a cast-iron skillet in bacon fat. Hill picked up the thread: Its in a little bowl. You only take a little bit of it ... Howard finished the thought: Because it is so potent.
They understand the foodways of this region because they have lived them.
Like, when we went out to film fried chicken, Hill explained, I said, Vivian, lets have banana sandwiches. In this part of the world, fried chicken is often served with sandwiches made with soft white bread, mayonnaise and bananas. We had a conversation, she added, about how to slice the bananas.
The womens easy rapport belies the struggle it has been to produce the series.
We have scratched and clawed to be able to do this, Howard said.
Hill first approached The Food Network through a contact, but got nowhere. She sent a 10-minute trailer to UNC-TV, which turned them down. She took it to South Carolina ETV, which loved the show and agreed to sell it to other public television stations across the country.
Howard and Hill lined up small sponsorships from a Lenoir County leaders group, N.C. Blue Cross Blue Shield, N.C. Pork Council and others. Crowdsourcing brought in $56,000. But the money raised didnt cover all costs of producing the first season, which costs up to $50,000 an episode.
A few more sponsors have come on board to help support the second season. But a large sponsor say, a major food company or kitchenwares brand to help cover the entire cost of production remains elusive, despite ongoing discussions with eight or 10 corporations.
We realize that none of us are good deal closers, said Howard, seated a few feet from Hill, in her home kitchen after finishing that days filming.
The conversation soon turned to the material to cover in episode 13: the trip to the chicken farm, Howard making deviled eggs with her mother, Howards appearance on the Today show, her cooking at the James Beard House. Its a lot of material to fit in 30 minutes.
Can we make 14 episodes? Howard asked.
Thats what Im thinking, Hill replied. Then, with a laugh, she added, We dont have enough money to film 13 episodes, lets do 14.

Rihanna Wears Multi-coloured Bikini On Stage For Loud Tour In US
We love Rihanna for her edgy style and when it comes to her performance ensembles, she certainly knows how to work the stage.
However, we're not entirely sure what the singer was thinking when she chose to wear this multi-coloured, bead (or are they sweets?) embellished bikini.

Savonnerie Manufactory; with designs by Alexandre-François Desportes, painter; and Jean-Baptiste Belin de Fontenay, painter French, Savonnerie, about 1714 - 1740 Knotted woolen pile 83.DD.260
The Savonnerie workshops, the royal manufactory that provided carpets, screens, and covers for chairs and benches for the sole use of the French royal household, made this pair of three-panel screens of knotted woolen pile. Such screens were known as paravents (against the wind) and were usually kept folded in the corners of dining rooms or anterooms of the palaces. When needed, servants would arrange the screens to protect the occupants from drafts. The Savonnerie manufactory produced eight different designs for screens, of which the Getty Museum's examples are the tallest. Jean-Baptiste Belin de Fontenay provided the cartoons for these screens in 1714, and François Desportes drew the birds in the central panels. Each panel has a yellow ground, while the flowers, leaves, and birds are woven in equally vivid shades. The relatively unfaded colors of this pair make them exceptional in comparison to other surviving screens.

The Bored Identity
Working my second job at the bric-a-brac shop today. It's quiet, and I'm pretty bored; so it got me thinking that it's time like these that I wish I were to suddenly be 'reactivated' as an undercover secret agent, unsure of who he is, but forced to live on the run, while simultaneously trying to bring down the clandestine organisation that made me what I am. I'd take my girlfriend with me, but she'd undoubtedly be killed before too long so as to give me a death to avenge. Soon after this, I'll become something of a myth in the halls of this evil agency, and no one will be able to sleep at night, for fear that I'm lurking in the shadows, waiting to punish them for the genetic testing that they put me through. Oh yeah, I was also genetically tested on, by the way.
More likely however, is that I'll sit here for another two hours, then cash up the tills and potter home. Oh well.
(Genius title by the way, huh?)

Hampton Sides Essay on Giffords Shooter in Newsweek
Memphis native Hampton Sides, a former writer for Memphis magazine and the author of renowned books like "Hellhound on his Trail", has an essay in the current issue of Newsweek. It's a comparison of the shooters of Martin Luther King Jr. and Gabrielle Giffords, as well as the shooter's motivations.
An excerpt:
"Sadly, the events in Arizona last week carry many odd hints and echoes of the events in the spring of 1968 that culminated in King's death at the hands of James Earl Ray. Then, as now, the country was fighting an intractable and apparently interminable war against a hard-to-find enemy on the other side of the planet—a conflict that had drained the nation's coffers and left the populace fatigued and paranoid. Then, as now, the airwaves seethed with reactionary speech. Then, as now, gun sales were going up, up, up."
Read more here.
Thank you for having the courage to speak what needs to be said. The vitriol from the so called conservatives may induce the mentally weak to acts of violence against our elected politicians or civic leaders. Lessons from Ray and King seem to be lost. I appreciate
your voice and love your novels. Keep the faith and please keep writing. -

It's getting to the end of the month, which means I'm looking for cheap recipes! Thank goodness for my stash of Indian vegetarian recipes; I already have the spices, and the lentils in my cupboard, so all I had to do was buy a bag of spinach, and hey presto: dinner's ready!
Spinach with moong dal (a small yellow lentil, which you can find at Indian groceries, and online) offers you all the nutrition of leafy green vegetables, alongside a light dose of lentil protein, and the healing properties of both turmeric and garlic.
Cool, huh? Real cool. Beatnik cool, even. Yup, stay with me… there's a connection. Check it:
Spinach with Yellow Moong Dal (lentils)
1 handful (about ¼ cup) yellow moong dal, washed and soaked for 30 minutes
2 tbsp vegetable, canola or peanut oil
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 medium clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1 medium red onion, sliced thinly lengthwise (about 1½ cups)
1 green Serrano chile, sliced and seeded if you don't want it spicy (optional)
1 tbsp ginger, peeled and minced
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp paprika
¼ hing (asfoetida poweder, available at the Indian store)
1 medium roma tomato
1 bag baby spinach
Serve with: brown basmati rice and plain yogurt
1) Heat oil in big skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
2) Add cumin seeds and garlic. Wait until the seeds have finished spluttering, and then add onion, Serrano chile and ginger. Saute until onion has softened.
3) Add spice powders, and sauté for 30 seconds.
4) Add tomatoes; cook until they go mushy.
5) Add lentils, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Cover and cook about 5 minutes until the lentils are almost cooked.
6) Add spinach, covering to allow the leaves to wilt. Toss, and cook another 5 minutes so that the flavours go through the spinach. Add a little water if the dish gets too dry. It should have a sauce-y consistency. Serve!

Yes, it's tall, narrow, boxy, and not particularly nicely detailed, but it was an enormously successful and influential design. When the Alfa Romeo Giulia body shape was introduced in 1962, the only cars in production with lower aerodynamic drag were the Porsche 356 coupe and the Citroën DS four-door, as listed by Britain's MIRA (Motor Industry Research Association) in a little technical paper on aerodynamics. Maybe Panhard's 24 CT was better. But not by much.
As Alfa Romeo's second mainstream unit-body car, the Giulia benefited from everything the company learned from the Giulietta, which moved Alfa Romeo into volume manufacturing in the 1950s. The Giulia's structure was really stiff, despite the car's low, 2200-pound-plus weight. The 1570-cc engine did a fine job, and in the Super version with two Weber twin-choke carburetors it made 112 hp, enough for a top speed of 109 mph.
Obviously, the roof is rather flat and parallel to the ground, not at all like the raindrops cited as perfect low-drag shapes, but notice the huge radius in plan view for the bottom of the windshield and the rounded cuff at that base, and then imagine the path of a single air molecule striking the glass. Whether it goes upward or sideways, it will have diverged a minimum amount from its longitudinal path. This was a very clever design, in that it offered excellent interior accommodation, solid if not elegant appearance, and outstanding performance.
Alfa Romeo, then a government-owned entity, had a deal with la Régie Nationale des Usines Renault, also government-owned, to assemble Renault Dauphines and R4s. The French tie-up gave the Italians a lot of experience with cheap and simple body construction. The Tipo 103 with a front-wheel-drive, 896-cc mechanical package developed between 1959 and 1961 was a vague equivalent to the Renault R8. Its styling was a mix of Renault and Alfa themes, leading to the bigger, more luxurious Giulia in 1962. Europeans loved American practice in those years, and almost all builders adopted column-mounted gear shifts-even Aston Martin-and Giulias so equipped had bench seats so that six (small) people could fit in the car.

Hey, Im new to web building and just put up my first site. Ive been having a problem with a scroll bar, I dont know the code or what it would even be called to keep the scroll bar from resetting when clicking on an image to make it larger.
Right now I know its because i have the image load in a new page, it just mimics the design of the last one. I was curious if anyone knew how to make the larger image just reload in the same page.
Any ideas?
edit, i guess the link needs to be copied and pasted? I couldn't get it to work right...Its the photography page of paxtonmeans.com

Hello. I'm not new to website design however I do have a problem on an existing website of mine that I'm desperately needing a solution for. Am hoping someone on this forum can either provide the solution I need to implement or can direct me to someone who can help me with this problem.
Here's my problem;
On our square dance clothing website we have a special package deal where a customer can purchase a complete outfit for a discounted price. My problem is that the customer must currently make choices between a couple of options and then click the "add to cart" button for those selections to go our PayPal shopping cart. They must do this for 5 different options they have for this package deal. My problem is that we have customers customers who try to purchase only one item from this special webpage instead of purchasing 1 of each item on the page as intended. I'm looking for a way to ensure that the customer has clicked the "add to cart" button in all 5 items. If they haven't, I need the order to not be allowed to go through?? Again, I'm using PayPal's shopping cart which only allows for 2 options per transaction.
Please take a look at the webpage for a better understanding of what the customer must do in order to complete the package deal purchase. Here is the url for it;
Any help will certainly be appreciated to resolve this problem.
Thank you,

The Journey Begins...
The Silver Line edition of Reiner Knizia's The Lord of the Rings is on sale! |
Lord of the Rings: The Board Game | Published 13 September 2010 |
Evil is stirring again in the black lands of Mordor. Brave heroes are needed to stand against the terrible might of Sauron, and the time for action is nearly at hand. The fate of all Middle-earth rests on the shoulders of a brave Fellowship of hobbits...
The new Silver Line Edition of The Lord of the Rings is now available at your local retailer and on our webstore! This unique cooperative board game captures the magic and tension of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary trilogy.
From the brilliant mind of Reiner Knizia, The Lord of the Rings puts 2-5 players in the roles of hobbits in a classic tale of good versus evil. As players travel through the dangerous Mines of Moria and defend the citadel of Helm's Deem, they must work together to fight off the growing influence of Sauron. If they falter in their quest just a little, they risk succumbing to the growing darkness.
The new Silver Line Edition of The Lord of the Rings retains the beautiful illustrations of John Howe and the elegant gameplay mechanics that has made it such a fan favorite. With updated graphics, new components, and a clear rules presentation, this is the best way for friends and family to immerse themselves in The Lord of the Rings!
Please note that due to its redesigned, smaller components this new Silver Line Edition of The Lord of the Rings will not be compatible with previously released expansions.
Gather your fellowship and begin the journey to your friendly local retailer today!
Based on the beloved literature of J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord of the Rings: The Board Game lets 2-5 players cooperate to stop the Dark Lord Sauron from winning back the One Ring and enslaving the land. Join Frodo and the Fellowship on their perilous adventure across Middle Earth, and use your skill and fortune to guide you.
I wonder if FFG will make those expansions. Friend and Foes, Sauron expansion, and Battlefields.
I really enjoy this game...& the expansions ROCK if you can find them.
Agreed. The Silver Line edition of LOTR definited needs the addon board sections and the Enemies cards. With those additions to the game, LOTR is an incredible boardgame experience.
It's good to see the game is returning. I enjoyed it quite a lot back in the days. FFG really must re-release the first expansion, as well, though. Without it the game is incomplete. It's only with the first expansion that it comes into it's own.
The other expansions weren't worth it, though.
It looks like we have to wait also for some expansions for this edition. I hope that there will be some expansions for this version!
Been waiting for this one for quite some time! I hope Fantasy Flight also will reveal if they have plans to re-release the expansions, considering the original expansion are not compatible with this new Silver Line edition - even so, i have already ordered this from my local shop
Wow, it is coming! Cannot wait till my shop have it, let`s see how long I must wait. I am looking forward to get it soon and play!!!

PLEASE HELP! My hibiscus tree is dropping tons of leaves every single day! I bought this yellow hibiscus tree last summer from a local nursery. It has been doing very well up until this point and it is placed next to a south facing window with lots of natural light. Lots of flower buds started to appear last month, and a couple of weeks ago, it started to drop leaves like crazy! The leaves would turn yellow and then drop. I cannot find any insects or pest at all. I water the plant regularly and it's not under/over watered. So what could be the problem here? Could all the many flower buds be taking away too much nutrients from the leaves? I am a newbie at this so I would really appreciate your help! Thanks in advance! |

If your is an indoor potted tree; I wouldn't worry. Mine does it twice a year, after it's finished blooming. It's alarming but natura, at least here. I water only evry 3 day or so. |
Thanks, flowerbrackob! Yes, mine is a tropical yellow hibiscus tree with double flowers and it's in a pot inside my house. I really appreciate your insight - so does yours just lose part of or all of its leaves, before they come back out again? Also, how long does it take for the leaves to come back out? Thanks again! |
- Posted by BeachBarbie z9a NC (My Page) on Mon, Mar 21, 05 at 19:58
Hibiscus leaves last about 8 months, then die. Yours is probably getting ready for spring and new leaf growth. All the leaves won't be lost - just the oldest ones. You should see new growth soon - within a week or 2. It is a scary sight, but even mine to it this time of year and and they have buds on them. Barb |
Thanks, Barb! The strange thing is, even the NEWEST leaves are turning yellow and dropping! At first, I thought it's just the oldest leaves, but even the small and young leaves are doing so. Isn't that strange? Or do all the leaves drop off anyway? Yes, it's very scary........ |

i have a rosa-sinensis hibiscus and it usually stays inside in the winter and take it on the porch when it gets warm. well i took it out a few weeks ago and a few days later i noticed that the leaves started to dramatically fall off so i thought it might still be to cold at night so i took it back inside and no change what is happening?? the stems are also turning brown and its getting worse. |
- Posted by paradise_50 (My Page) on Sun, May 17, 09 at 2:19
I too, have a rosa-sineusis 'Brilliant' that started to lose the leaves a few weeks ago. It has been indoors all winter. I started taking it out in the day when its warm, and it seems thats when all the leaves dried up and dropped. Poor thing looks so bad. Dont know what is wrong with it,I dont see any bugs or spider mites. |

I, too, am having a problem with my hardy hibiscus. They came up on time(after I cut off the dead from the winter) and grew up really fast. But now they have buds and are starting to drop leaves. They didn't do that last year. I was wondering if they might have a virus? I fed them Osmocote in late April/early May. Should I boost them with Miracle Grow now? Maybe the budding is starving them? They're in pots on my deck and they are HUGE! |
- Posted by Tammra K Coleman 7(firstname.lastname@example.com) onTue, Oct 4, 11 at 18:42
I had the same problem all through the summer blooming time. It just dropped leaves like crazy. When it stopped blooming in September the leaves stopped falling. These postings have given me some hope. Thanks. |
- Posted by marial1214 Z 6 PA (My Page) on Wed, Jan 29, 14 at 14:24
It may be hard to see but my hibiscus is blooming only at the top for months now as a squirrel ate all the leaves this past summer. I am wondering if the leaves will return by itself or must I prune? |
Marial1214, I posted some info at the end of the Sad Droopy leaves thread recently that might be relevant. Personally, I wouldn't prune at this time. Ed |

Could Adam Lambert be the surprise Avicii is promising for tonight?
Avicii is set to perform on day 13 of the month long iTunes Festival live from the Roundhouse in London later tonight (9pm).
You can watch the performance (like all the others) completely free and on iTunes as it happens. Avicii has spoken in an interview earlier today with Capital FM.
The Swedish DJ speaking to Capital FM said that he had a "unique" surprise in store at the event which kicks off at 9pm. (Henrik B will be opening for Avicii from 7:45pm).
The DJ who also released his debut album 'True' today (13th of September) which features singles 'Wake Me Up' and 'You Make Me'.
Speaking with Capital FM ahead of tonights performance the DJ said: "It's a great possibility to showcase all my new songs from the album and obviously other songs that I want to promote too."
"Obviously my album, a lot of songs from the album, and something unique for London too. I haven't had a show in five days or something so I've gotten some new stuff too."
Many have speculated that Adam Lambert could make a special appearance for the two to perform their new collaboration 'Lay Me Down' – but those are just rumours for now.
We're almost at the half way point of the annual iTunes Festival but fear not. There's still lots to get through including performances from Ellie Goulding, Justin Timberlake, Chic Featuring Nile Rodgers and 'Roar' superstar Katy Perry is set to close the month long festival on the 30th of September.
Avicii doesn't seem to be hanging around after the festival though as he looks to be heading off to Las Vegas for a series of shows before heading down to Mexico.
If you haven't heard Avicii before and you probably aren't the only one – lets face it we all have different tastes in music then why not listen to 'Wake Me Up' below.

Us Glamberts would go wild if Adam appeared tonight with Avicii.
Wake me up is a catchy song but my favorite is Lay Me Down for dancing. You can't beat those killer vocals by Adam Lambert.
For me love " lay me down" very much , because it is very disco, lolz , it is making me so happy , when I'm listening this song
I thought that Adam very good with avicii , i'm very glad for them working together . I believed lay me down really perfect song .
I hope they do a video of Lay Me Down with Adam Lambert, I can't look at him enough, yum.
I'll want to see Adam performing lay me down , I hope really Adam 's performance in this song , because I love his sexy face very much ;)))
Love lay me down that sing by Adam lambert do much <3 I've listened it , it is so cool, lol, disco . Adam's talent really best .
Will North American DJs now finally give Adam some respect and play a new single???? It's about time we heard him on the radio again. They ignored the Trespassing cd completely and I thought at least Shady should have make it to the top ten on Billboard but, no seems DJs think Adam is just a reality tv personality and therefore has no talent.
Doesn't really matter now….the IHeart "Queenbert" concert opened a million eyes and ears to the magic of Adam's voice and stage presence….he's too good for pop music anyway. I am forced to watch Glee now because I'm sure Adam will give us another stunning performance there as well. Then, I think the sky is the limit for Lambert. Hey, if you've got guys like Elton John, Brian May and Roger Taylor as friends and "fans" anything is possible and Adam deserves it. He has worked very hard. I have to admit I have not been so captivated by an artist since Michael Jackson.

One week around the NHL Dec. 12-19
Quote of the Week
"I had a microphone on my jersey, and I was talking with my teammates. Next show, maybe they'll show me more." said Evgeni Malkin as quoted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Penguins Capitals 24/7 aired on HBO last Wednesday, the first installment of the reality show following the preparations for the winter classic. The show went behind the scenes and gave a unique perspective on the new and loved hockey tradition. Malkin has become a star in the city of Pittsburgh, being the only scorer in the past two games and apparently is hoping to be a HBO star in the near future.
Video to Watch
Most teams create Christmas or holiday videos for their fans to watch, but this one made by the San Jose Sharks this year is too funny for words.
High Scorers
Eric Boulton, Atlanta Thrashers
The Thrashers have been having an exceptional season with the addition of their new coach, Craig Ramsay. High scoring left and right, and recently snatching first place in the southeast. Boulton scored his first career hat trick home against New Jersey on Saturday during the Thrashers 7-1 decimation of the struggling Devils.
Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins
Whether the Penguins are winning a dozen in a row or excepting a 4-1 loss, Sidney's been scoring. His point streak has reached 20 straight games and he leads the league in both goals, 26, and points, 54.
Eric Staal, Carolina Hurricanes
Staal scored his 12th career hat trick at home against the Ducks yesterday to push the Canes to a 4-2 win over Anaheim. Carolina finds itself just outside of the Eastern Conference's top eight, but has won the last four games. Some continued offensive force from Captain Eric and others might give them a chance at a playoff spot.
And those preventing high scoring…
Tim Thomas, Boston Bruins
The Bruins may find themselves 14th in the league, but Thomas is topping all the charts. So far this season, he has five shutouts, 15 wins, and a fantastic 1.65 GAA. He currently holds a .951 save percentage and is well on his way to his best season with the Bruins.
Injuries around the league
See you in 2011…
Chris Pronger, Philadelphia Flyers, broken foot
Pronger is to miss four to six weeks with a broken bone in his right foot. The break occurred during Wednesday's game against the Canadiens, while trying to stop the puck. He is looking to be re-evaluated for play around Jan. 5, nhl.com reports.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Toronto Maple Leafs, groin
Giguere is out indefinitely after reinvigorating an old injury in his groin during Thursday's game against the Flames. Currently his injury is listed as day-to-day, but it could be longer. He has missed several other games this season as a result of the same injury.
Ryan Callahan, New York Rangers, broken hand
Callahan's hand was injured during the first period in Pittsburgh on Wednesday in an attempt to block Kris Letang's slapshot. He is expected to be out for around six weeks.
Games to look forward to
Detroit v. Vancouver, Wednesday 7:30 p.m.
After loosing in OT to the Dallas Stars on Sunday, all the buzz is on Osgood being denied his 400th career win. He gets his next chance to complete this feat home against the Canucks on Wednesday. We'll see if he can manage to silence the Sedin twins and the rest of the Vancouver offense.
Los Angeles v. Colorado, Tuesday 9:30 p.m.
Both of these teams have been holding their own in the West recently, the Av's currently looking to continue their five game winning streak. The Kings have been keeping up the scoring, defeating the Predators 6-1 on Saturday. The teams offensive forces will meet in Colorado on Tuesday and I'm expecting a high scoring and interesting game.

The following article is located at: http://www.christianitytoday.com/le/trendwatch/2013/01-28/with-ban-lifted-should-women-serve-in-combat.html
With Ban Lifted, Should Women Serve in Combat?
The Pentagon recently announced that it is overturning a 1994 rule banning women from serving in combat. This will allow the hundreds of thousands of women on active duty to serve in front-line positions and potentially in special operations forces, such as the Navy SEALS and the Army's Delta Force.
Although many have applauded this move, others, including Marine Captain Katie Petronio, question whether women are prepared to endure prolonged combat operations.
Christianity Today compares three perspectives on women in combat, asking what the warrior women in the Bible can contribute to the discussion.
At First Things, Joe Carter echoes C. S. Lewis, saying that "Battles are Ugly When Women Fight."
But Kate Shellnutt at Her.meneutics reminds us that women have been serving in dangerous military roles long before the lifted ban.

Behind Audio Operations with Wicked, Part 1
Aug 23, 2011 1:59 PM, with Bennett Liles
Editor's note: For your convenience, this transcription of the podcast includes timestamps. If you are listening to the podcast and reading its accompanying transcription, you can use the timestamps to jump to any part of the audio podcast by simply dragging the slider on the podcast to the time indicated in the transcription.
Taking a popular Broadway show on the road is no easy task and when you're using over 40 wireless mic systems every night, it's a huge job. Anthony Jones is going to take us back stage on the show "Wicked" for a close up look at set up and operation of the shows Sennheiser wireless mic systems coming up next on the SVC podcast.
Anthony, thanks for being with me here on the SVC podcast, and we're talking about the Broadway show "Wicked." I took a look at the website for the show and it's a sort of a…before the Wizard of Oz sort of thing. So what exactly is this show about and what are you normally doing during the production?
The show "Wicked" is about the Witches of Oz—pretty much how they became who they are–who they're known to be. If you're looking at a movie and you just take the cameras and you pan them to the left or the right and see what's going on behind the scenes, that's pretty much what "Wicked" is about. It's telling how two girls, Glinda and Elphaba…they meet in school and one girl is shunned because of her skin color and the other one is liked because she's very popular and everyone loves her. They love how she dresses and things like that and she pretty much is the favorite, and Elphaba is the outcast and during that time they become roommates at university and things actually changed and they become best friends. And also "Wicked" is about…there's some political things that are in the show that relate to reality. There's a few lines in the show that are referenced to maybe a war or…it could be referenced to Wall Street…it could be a number of things but there are some things that are…makes you want to say, "Huh, that's interesting. I would have never thought of it that way." [Timestamp: 2:11]
And of course you're making sure that everybody hears all that.
Exactly. And the most important thing is when "Wicked" plays a city that "Wicked" has never been seen in that city before, we want to make sure that those people that are coming to the show they hear and understand every word clearly without any compromise. [Timestamp: 2:27]
And you're using a huge number of wireless mics. What kind of wireless mic systems are you using for that?
We're using the Sennheiser EM 3732 receivers and 5212 transmitters and we have a total of 44 radio mics that we're using on the show. [Timestamp: 2:43]
OK, those seem to be a very popular model with shows that are using a lot of wireless mics simultaneously. It's a mighty big job when you're trying to ride herd on that many mics especially where the cast members are so mobile—running around, singing, dancing. So who made the decision to go with Sennheiser mics and why were they chosen?
It was actually the sound designer. The sound designers name is Tony Meola and his associate designer is Kai Harada. And Tony Meola, the sound designer, specified the Sennheiser wireless microphones because of past use and it's one of those tried and trusted products that he knows, "Well, it sounds great," and you can beat it…it still gives you a great quality. It's very rugged and it's very durable. It's one of those things that he's been using for years on many, many other shows that he's designed over the years and it's one of those things that you trust. You know the name Sennheiser—you know they're a great product and you know this is going to be no compromise in sound quality. [Timestamp: 3:45]
Now that's not only a complex production but it's also a very popular show as you alluded to before. Does that long list of awards put additional pressure on you or are you usually too busy with the tech situation to feel that sort of pressure?
There's pressure all the time because in my opinion every show that we do there's an expectation and there's pressure. "Wicked" is a very popular show. It's all over the world and when people come to see that show they want to be taken into a different world. We want to make sure that the technical aspect of this show is in order and it's ready to go and we want–once the show starts we don't want that story to be interrupted by a speaker not working or a transmitter not working or a piece of scenery. We want it to be as seamless as possible and we want it to be the best thing they've ever seen. It does put a lot of pressure on us. We do a lot before the show opens with the sound system and making sure everything is working at 100 percent capacity if not more. [Timestamp: 4:46]
Now they've got a lot of costumes on that show and I would think that would present a big challenge in mic'ing the performers. How do you deal with getting the performers mic'd up and making sure that all of that works right?
There are a lot of different types of costumes in this show and we go through all this in a tech period before the show opens. When the show first opens, before the public gets to see it, we go through a production process and tech rehearsals and we try different mic positions, and once you do several companies of a show you come up with a standard cookie cutter to say, "This is where the microphones should be on this particular act," or…so for "Wicked" there's lots of hats that are worn by all sorts of cast members that are different shapes and they sit differently on the head, so what we do is we wear…we put the microphones in one of three positions actually. One the traditional being at the center of the forehead around the hairline or over the ear or what we've been doing with one of our characters is putting microphones on a set of glasses—we'll put two microphones on either side of a pair of eyeglasses. We'll camouflage them to the point where the public eye can't see and that's how we mic the actors. And then there are times when sometimes if a new actor comes into the show and they're nervous about their blocking and where they're going to be onstage, their microphone may get pulled back into their wig by accident and then I have to go by and just make sure that they're aware that their microphone is caught onto their wig or something or it might have fallen off of their ear and they just need to put it back in place and tape it down. We sometimes use taupe clips to keep it attached to their hair. We paint the microphones a different color to hide in someone's hair if they're not wearing a hat. [Timestamp: 6:34]

Easter was fun, but my father-in-law was a bit of an ass... I think.
The problem is I'm not sure, his sarcasm tone isn't that distinct from his sincere tone since he's fairly cranky all the time.
It was time to cut the ham and he said something to the order of, "well it has to be a man to cut the meat and I'm not going to do it because I have a headache... that means you have to do it!" and then when I said I didn't want to because I don't know anything about how to cut the meat he said, "well if you want to be a man you have to do it!"
Which is kinda cool. It means he's socializing me as male.
But it also comes with sexist bullshit that I'm not ok with.
(moment of wrath required)
I am EXTREMELY against gender social pressure. It's simply not ok. Even if it's made for the flavor I want. It's still not ok.
Also he made other comments about "real men" not liking embroidery (I LOVE embroidery) that really pissed me off.
a) I'm not that kind of man. I'm femme, and very happy to be femme. I don't give a flying fuck about sports, tools, etc. and I don't feel I have to in order to get to be a man.
b) Chill out on all the pressure! Even if I was that kind of man, I think it's wrong to say things like this because there are lots of different kinds of men. Gender pressure is pretty much the same as gender bullying to me, and I'm not ok with it.
But I did cut the meat. I did it while grumbling about how it doesn't make me a man, but I did it. Probably because I love my mother-in-law. <3
... is quite easily learned.
But, (sadly) you may find "beating" to be a tad more challenging...
Don't you have to be married in order to have parents-in-law?
Call me sexist, but I'm okay with some of those things that men are supposed to do, like cutting the meat or not having absurd numbers of shoes or dueling to defend fair lady's honor. I know I'm sexist. But whatever.
If your biggest beef (beef, get it?) is that you're being accepted as male improperly, that's pretty good.
Of course, real men are vegan.

think about it the most butch nations eat almost no plants, maybe thats why america is so whiney
That's kinda the point, though. Butch <> real man.
Plus, America is FAR from vegan.
