I was thinking about taking a yellow marker to mark up some key disgusting bible passages in the gideon bibles I find, but there are so many. I might be up all night doing that. What do you suggest?
I get really irritated by the obligatory bible in hotels/motels, this is just another way society is integrated with historically biased religious practices.
In fact a created a spin off to my blog to find out what people do or were they have found the bible….sometimes I leave a secularist book as an alternative. :)
Love for people to leave comments on what they did. :)
I was in a Japanese Sky resort once and there was a Buddhist Bible in the night stand. I found it quite refreshing. I love Buddhist, got it right years before most, sorry it didn't catch on.
Ignore it completely.
I have taken a bible or two and folded several pages so when the next occupant opens it, it goes to those pages. The pages I select are some of the deeds of JC and GOD. I circle them not with a sharpie but with a ball point pen..and I do it firmly, again to create an indent in the pages. Then I add a bit of commentary on the side...normally not in statement form, but in question form. Creating questions might cause someone to think!
Then I take to the covers and add some thoughtful questions there too.
I'll often go to John 3:16 and ask, "Was this a suicide of a triune god, or was this involuntary manslaughter of a careless father?
Not suicide at all ... just a temporary inconvenience to an eternal creature to whom no permanent harm could have come anyway. The sacrifice was only from a limited human point of view. To Haysus, it was more like doing without your smart-phone for a couple days.
Homosexuality... why are they warning us about that? I don't like to see a perfectly acceptable sexual orientation lumped in with a list like this. Might as well warn us the Bible contains love poetry
If you've stayed in a hotel it'll be more than likely that you found a Bible in your dresser drawer and a note saying "this Bible was put here by a Gideon"; but who the fuck was Gideon? Here's a few fun facts about the guy you may not know.
Read the Bible for yourself. You will find the story of Gideon in Judges, chapters 6-9. The tale of Gideon is only one of many horror stories in the Bible, a book that glorifies genocide, slavery, homophobia and sexism.
(Source: thetumblratheist)
The Gideons are not really a denomination. It's an evangelical Christian organization and members can come from several different denominations. I just posted that info above because it's about the same as the stickers that are sold by ffrf to put inside the Gideon bibles. I didn't realize it had that swear word in there. I don't think that kind of language helps anything.
That's a pretty good link to a lot of information about the Gideon organization that leaves the Bibles in hotel rooms. And yes, they do leave King James Version Bibles. As far as I know, that's all they do. I don't know why you think I may have been offended by your post. It's very interesting. I did not know all those stories.
I think a good thing to leave with the bibles would be this paper -

Hello from North Georgia! I have 2 beautiful hibiscus that have come back 3 years in a row! My question is, can I dig them up and divide them? They need to at least be moved, as they have become monsters! We cut them back in the fall, and it appears that every summer they grow from different canes that we have cut back. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Rebecca |

Perennial hibicus come back from the roots and I suppose you could divide them. Dig them up and see how much root there is. As long as each part you divide has roots, I imagine they would do fine. Good luck! Barb |

An elegant old place reflects a life and love of travel
You can see this house, filled with Batchelder tile work, for yourself. It is one of those to be featured on this year's Mount Baker Home Tour.
Pacific NW associate editor
The Mount Baker Home Tour
On Dec. 7 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the public is invited to tour six houses during the Mount Baker Home Tour and Arts & Crafts Fair. The tour begins at the Mount Baker Community Clubhouse, 2811 Mt. Rainier Drive S. Advance tickets cost $25 ($20 for those older than 65) and are available through or at Relish Fine Foods, 3605 S. McClellan St. Tickets sold the day of the event are $35 at the clubhouse. Visitors can walk the tour or use a free shuttle.
The event is a fundraiser for the Mount Baker Community Club.
"THE FIRST thing you'll want to know is that this is a full-length Batchelder," says Marie Peters, her hand resting on the fireplace surround in the living room of her Mount Baker home.
It is made of lovely handcrafted tiles from floor to ceiling, without interruption from even a mantel. The clay pieces have been molded around corners, not cut. "I'm told there are only three of these.
"There's a lot of Batchelder in the neighborhood," she says, "but lots of people call this the tile house."
No. Wonder. Peters' stately brick home is an extravaganza of Batchelder tile, Batchelder being Ernest Batchelder, a leading designer of the American Arts & Crafts Movement whose work is coveted by enthusiasts of the genre. At Peters' home (which if you go on this year's Mount Baker home tour you will be lucky enough to see for yourself) it is everywhere: on the floors, along the steps, in the fountain, and the walls, all over the bathrooms. Even as trim across the chimney at the very top of the house. Each room is unique and in all of Batchelder's most popular motifs: Mayan designs, birds, foliage, geometric abstracts.
It's a swell house for sure, from the front stoop to the decorated chimney. Old (1923) and grand (five bedrooms/baths with rooms big and fat, heavy oak moldings and built-ins). But there's not one square inch of it (don't ask, Peters has no idea) that's precious or off-limits.
"I like the old-English-country-house look," she says. "Nothing's perfect so that grandchildren can come in in swimsuits, and Taz (her trusty rescue pup) can bring in mud and I'm not going to panic."
And when Peters speaks of old English country houses she knows exactly what she's talking about — she has owned homes all across the globe; seven at the same time at one point. Hong Kong, London, Seattle, Orcas Island, Tucson and two in Australia.
"That was my husband's need, not mine," she says simply.
Hers was to travel. "I came up with a plan that I would marry a pastor because they move all the time," she laughs. Instead, she married a Norwegian professor, and the pair lived and taught (Peters has a doctorate in psychology) in Norway and Denmark. Her second husband was an attorney and merchant banker. They lived in many of the world's most vibrant cities.
"I think where I have the greatest memories is from Hong Kong," Peters says. "We lived there in the 1980s up to the handover. Talk about dynamic. It made New York City look slow!"
The Mount Baker house serves Peters; her now and her then. It offers security and the camaraderie of a tight neighborhood, while also nestling her collected treasures. French and English paintings, kimonos, Moroccan tables and ottomans, Chinese furniture, Turkish rugs ... It shelters friends in town during their own global trotting. "I had 17 people staying here last summer," she says, not quite believing it herself. "I realized that I'm not 50 anymore!"
Blame it on the house.
"But I love this house, and my wonderful, wonderful neighbors," Peters says. "I was talking to one of my neighbors the other day and said to her, 'Why don't you come over with a bottle of wine?' We ended up with 60 in here and a feast.
"All I had to do was turn on the lights and make sure there was enough wine."

Much of France's exports include a number of valuable commodities including machinery and transportation equipment, aircraft, plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, iron, steel, consumer products, petroleum and cars & vehicles. A major part of this foreign trade is carried out with European partners including Germany, UK, Spain and Italy. Exports to the EU increased slightly due to rising deliveries to Germany and Italy.
Outside the EU, sales to Africa and Asia continued to increase, but exports to the Middle East, America, Switzerland and Turkey fell. France is also the world's largest exporter in the world of both services and farm products.
The manufacturing industry is a key exporter, making up nearly 27% of France's GDP. France's exceptional export growth has been aided by structural reforms initiated by the government that promote every aspect of foreign trade.
France is also the ninth-largest trading partner of the U.S.
In June 2013, France's trade deficit narrowed to €4.44 billion. The deficit decline was due to a sharp fall in imports which registered the weakest reading since December 2010.
Total value of exports: $567.1 billion

Tips for Your Personal Statement
related articles
you might also like…
Your grades and LSAT score are the most important part of your application to law school. But you shouldn't neglect the personal statement–it's a valuable opportunity to distinguish yourself from other applicants, especially those with similar scores.
You want to present yourself as intelligent, professional, mature and persuasive. These are the qualities that make a good lawyer, so they're the qualities that law schools seek in applicants. Talking about your unique background and experiences will help you stand out from the crowd. But don't get too creative. The personal statement is not the time to discuss what your trip to Europe meant to you, describe your affinity for anime, or try your hand at verse.
Some guidelines to consider:
Be specific to each school. You'll probably need to write only one basic personal statement, but you should tweak it for each school to which you apply. There are usually some subtle differences in what each school asks for in a personal statement.
Good writing is writing that is easily understood. Good law students–and good lawyers–use clear, direct prose. Remove extraneous words and make sure that your points are clear. Don't make admissions officers struggle to figure out what you are trying to say.
Get plenty of feedback. The more time you've spent writing your statement, the less likely you are to spot any errors. You should ask for feedback from professors, friends, parents and anyone else whose judgment and writing skills you trust. This will help ensure that your statement is clear, concise, candid, structurally sound and grammatically accurate.
Find your unique angle. Who are you? What makes you unique? Sometimes, applicants answer this question in a superficial way. It's not enough to tell the admissions committee that you're an Asian–American from Missouri. You need to give them a deeper sense of yourself. And there's usually no need to mention awards or honors you've won. That's what your resume is for.
Instead, use your essay to explain how your upbringing, your education, and your personal and professional experiences have influenced you and led you to apply to law school. Give the admissions officers genuine insight into who you are. Don't use cliches or platitudes. The more personal and specific your personal statement is, the better received it will be.

About Us
From humanitarian to successful business project BHcrafts is the title of the project which unites creative, humanitarian, business and psychotherapeutic characteristics in a highly balanced and outstandingly successful manner. It is the project of production of handmade clothing and decorative items, which involves women from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nongovernmental humanitarian organization Norwegian People's Aid has started this project in 1995, through its manager, Ms. Lejla Radončić. In the beginning, the project has had prominently humanitarian charachter, and today, it has developed into a successful and export-oriented business, which is still successfully developing. The result of that development is the enterprise BHcrafts, which is in charge of promoting and selling bosnian handicrafts in country and abroad. The way one humanitarian idea developed into a successful business project BHcrafts is, in every respect, outstanding and successful project. Women, among whom are many of those whose husbands, children, brothers and fathers were killed in the last war, are enabled to integrate into normal way of life again, in the best possible way by means of creativity and personal engagement. All relevant researches has proved that it is the best and the most effective way to confront the war traumas and to eliminate their consequences. Within our program, more than 500 women of different ethnic backround from both of the B&H entities were given a chance to forget their difficult past, through a lot of work, care and subtle socialization. Synthesis of skill and natural materials Clothing and program for household, made in the BHcrafts, elicit undivided enthusiasm. The leading world media have written about attractiveness and quality of our handicraft products. Each product is unique, hand-made in traditional techniques of knitting, crocheting and weaving, which have made BHcrafts products recognizable and appreciated. These products, regardless of whether they are clothing items, table cloths or carpets, can not be the subject of mass production. The products are handmade, with devotion and persistence, without the use of machines. Most of the products are made of chemically untreated wool and cotton, in the process which obeys the strict ecological standards. Ecology, business, self-consciousness The products of the BHcrafts are made with use of domestic raw materials, thus supporting the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is the ecologically conscientious project, which does not pollute the environment in not a single stage of production (paper bags, cardboard boxes, looms for weaving). The project promotes Bosnia and Herzegovina in an attractive and original manner by export of the high-quality products. Our products are mixture of traditional and modern achievements of design, which is the combination that ensures a successful existence at the demending world market. Handicrafts worldwide Former business results acknowledges all of this. The BHcrafts has successfuly cooperated with Agnes B., company from France for three years already. With this company, we have, by now, carried out orders whose total value exceeds 40.000EUR. We have even more intensive business cooperation with the Sundance (USA) compay, for which we have produced and exported goods worth 200.000USD. We also made a noticeable collection of tapestries for Neiman Marcus sales (USA). Strategic planning In contrast to similar projects, in the BHcrafts, the profit is not divided among the shareholders in the end of the year. It is aimed for development of business and expanding of activities. In that way we whish to prove that, in spite of extraordinary business development, we have not forgotten the reason we started with this idea. Our aim is to improve this idea even more, and, the profit will come in the end as the logical result of that development. The art of the original On each product labelled BHcrafts, you will find the name of the person who made it. It will be a name of one of Bosnian women, for whom this was the way in which they fulfilled their time and cured their depression in refugee camps in the beginning. Afterwards they started to earn money that is necessary for their life and life of their families. More than ordinary purchase If you order or buy these products made with love and care, you will not only get handicrafts of first class design and manufacture, but will also contribute to the creative and business development of the BHcrafts. Our original aim was to help the women who lost their most beloved ones. The aim is completely fulfilled. That is why wer are now developing the idea even more. Perhaps you can help us to do so.

Unbelievable road rage attack leads to frightful car chase
In a bizarre turn of events a defenceless motorist feared for his life during an allegedly unprovoked road rage attack in Australia. Video evidence of the unexplained and violent attack has gone viral since being broadcast on the news program Today Tonight, as reporters focused on the mysterious road rage incident.
The incredible dash cam footage captures every minute of the terrifying chase. Ken Olsen, (the shocked victim) has no idea why he was targeted and run off the road several times by the crazed driver known only as "Australia's angriest driver." Olsen quickly found himself engulfed in a dangerous and nearly deadly car chase, as he promptly alerted authorities of the madman stalking him.
As the emergency operator advises Olsen to flee towards the nearest police station for safety, the relentless attacker continues to crash, bang and block the nearly trapped motorist at every turn. When cornered, the raging man goes berserk and dives onto the hood of the victim's truck in order to smash his way through the windshield!
Luckily, Olsen was able to get away unharmed and his truck absorbed the brunt of the damage. As a former police officer, Olsen says he's "never witnessed such a violent road rage incident" and credits his escape to the driving skills honed during his years as an officer of the law.
Click here to watch the inexplicable example of road rage for yourself.
UPDATE: Following the news broadcast of this dramatic video last night, the unknown attacker has apparently come forward and turned himself into police custody. Oddly enough, the accused man is actually insisting he's the real victim here! Really? We're pretty sure the video evidence will prove otherwise.

text: I have a grid tie-in with battery backup system. It is an Outback system with 3.2kw solar panels. This winter in northwest Illinois we had 12 days with little if any sun. I would like to be able to use a generator to recharge my 48v battery bank during these long periods of no sun if the grid goes down. I have an input for my generator to my subpanel but this would require running the generator all the time. If I could connect it direcly to the DC side of my system I would only need to run it for a short period of time to just give me enough battery power to carry me to the next sunny day. Any suggestions?

It's a cold but sunny start to this Friday across the viewing area. Temperatures are below freezing in the Klamath Basin and near freezing across Northern California. A disturbance that was originally supposed to pass to our north, is now moving south and east this morning. For this reason it seems as though all areas will see increasing cloud cover this afternoon with light to moderate showers for the Coast and Umpqua Basin. The further north you head in the Valley, the better the chance for a shower.
This system is a quick mover and will already clear the region by tomorrow but a significant rain event will follow. Moisture from a dying typhoon in the Western Pacific is getting caught up in a low pressure system crossing the ocean. This will arrive along the Coast Saturday evening and move inland Sunday. This event is looking like a "mid wet season event" meaning it's the type of storm we would see a few months out from the start of fall.
It's likely this system will push the current September, which happens to be the 9th wettest in Medford history, to the second wettest. Along the Coast 2"-4" of rain is expected with locally 6" or more. Inland areas will receive between 1" & 2." Those areas such as the Rogue Valley that do not typically see a lot of rain will most likely pick up between 0.30"-0.50."
Strong winds will also accompany this storm. Winds will gust to 60-65mph, with sustained (average) winds out of the South at 25-40mph. Rivers, creeks and streams – mainly along the Coast – are expected to significantly rise, however there is not concern for flooding because of the low river levels and lack of snow to melt. Speaking of snow, snow levels will remain fairly high due to the tropical connection associated with this disturbance. Another concern is mudslides at the burn out areas from the summer wildfires through the duration of the storm.
Timing looks to be rain at the Coast Saturday evening, driving inland Sunday to the valleys, mountains and Siskiyou County, and then rain moving into the Klamath Basin Monday with showers wrapping up elsewhere. The strongest winds are expected through Sunday and a high wind warning may be warranted for parts of the region.

The aim of the Kaleidoscope project is to discover hydrocarbon deposits 15 times faster than other companies in the sector.
What exactly does the Kaleidoscope project entail?
The Kaleidoscope Project came about in 2007 to develop algorithms and software capable of processing seismic images of drilling 15 times faster than other companies in the sector thanks to a new generation of processors. In this way we use the latest science and technology to find deep-sea oil and gas reserves, respecting the natural environment.
What does this technology consist of?
It is a means of obtaining seismic images of drilling in marine subsoil using techniques similar to those used in echography. This raises the accuracy level of seismic images, thus reducing uncertainty in the search for oil and gas thousands of metres below the subsoil and placing Repsol at the cutting-edge of exploration in complex zones with large residual reserves. It is estimated that in these areas (in the US Gulf of Mexico or the deep and ultra-deep waters of Brazil) there are more than 100 billion barrels of oil equivalent. And technology now enables us to access these reserves.
Who collaborates with Repsol?
The Kaleidoscope project is a technological initiative headed by Repsol which involves the participation of some of the best geophysicists and systems engineers from Spain and the United States. It has been designed by Repsol together with 3DGeo, the leading company in obtaining seismic images, and the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, which has the Marenostrum supercomputer, one of the 100 most powerful supercomputers in the world. Also collaborating with Repsol are IBM, CSIC, the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña and the North American Stanford University.
How has the project been received internationally?
The North American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, an organisation known for monitoring new technologies, considers the Kaleidoscope Project to be one of the five most innovative projects in the world. And Repsol received an award from the magazine Computer World for this project, for its impact on the business. We were also finalists in the annual Creativity in Electronics Awards and in the Innovation Awards awarded by the magazine Petroleum Economist.

Key role in bin Laden raid for secret choppers
(AP) - 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON (AP) - Secret until now, stealth helicopters may have been key
to the success of the Osama bin Laden raid. But the so-far-unexplained
crash of one of the modified Black Hawks at the scene apparently
compromised at least some of the aircraft's secrets.
The two choppers evidently used radar-evading technologies, plus noise and
heat suppression devices, to slip across the Afghan-Pakistan border, avoid
detection by Pakistani air defenses and deliver two dozen Navy SEALs into
the al-Qaida leader's lair. Photos of the lost chopper's wrecked tail are
circulating online - proving it exists and also exposing sensitive
President Barack Obama traveled Friday to Fort Campbell, Ky., and met
privately with the elite Army pilots who flew the daring mission. They are
members of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, nicknamed the
Night Stalkers, and he saluted them in public remarks afterward.
The reason one of the helicopters crash landed at the bin Laden compound
has not been disclosed, but Daniel Goure, a defense specialist at the
Lexington Institute think tank, said Friday it might be explained by the
unusual aerodynamics resulting from the aircraft's modifications.
"It could be much more difficult to fly, particularly at slow speed and
landing than you would expect from a typical Black Hawk," Goure said.
The U.S. military's first stealth aircraft, the now-defunct F-117 fighter
jet, was notoriously difficult to handle in flight, officials have said.
Night Stalker pilots also fly other, publicly acknowledged versions of the
Black Hawk that are specially equipped with advanced navigation systems,
plus devices allowing for low-level and all-weather flight, day or night.
Those are rigged to permit occupants to "fast rope" from the helicopter as
it hovers just off the ground - a technique used in the bin Laden assault.
Also taking part in the bin Laden mission were two MH-47 Chinooks,
specially modified versions of the heavy-lift Chinook helicoptersthat are
widely used by the Army's conventional forces.
The MH-47s are flown by the 160th, the Night Stalkers. Those aircraft are
not known to have stealth capabilities, although one was summoned to the
scene of the raid after one of the stealthy Black Hawks crash-landed, in
order to help ferry the SEAL contingent out of Pakistan.
Many aspects of stealth technology have been known for decades, including
the use of angled aircraft edges and composite materials to make aircraft
less visible on radar. The Army began a program to build a new class of
helicopter with stealth technology in 1992. Known as the RAH-66 Comanche,
it was canceled in 2004, in part to speed up development of drone
Bill Sweetman, editor-in-chief of Defense Technology International and a
long-time student of stealth aircraft development, said the biggest secret
behind the stealth helicopter is simply that it existed.
"There was obviously a fairly high risk that you were going to compromise
it one way or another the minute you used it," he said in an Associated
Press interview.
The decision to use the helicopters reflected the extraordinary stakes
involved in eliminating bin Laden, the world's most-wanted terrorist. It
is not known whether the choppers have been used in earlier Special
Operations raids, but Dick Hoffman, a former Navy SEAL and now a defense
analyst at the Rand Corp. think tank, said he had never before heard of
their existence.
Hoffman said in a telephone interview that the apparent stealth technology
on the choppers boosted the raid's chances for success.
"Getting into the target area undetected is hugely important, especially
with these terrorist targets and militia targets," he said. He noted that
the SEAL team did not arrive at the Abbottabad compound in complete
silence, since a resident in the same town was writing on Twitter during
the raid that he could hear one or more helicopters and wondered what was
But the modifications that suppressed noise from the helicopters -
including the use of extra blades in the tail rotor and placement of a
hubcap-like cover on the rotor - may have been sufficient to allow the
assault teams to get on the ground before bin Laden and his security
guards could mount enough of a defense to slow the SEALS; only one of the
defenders was said to have gotten off a shot.
Noise suppression, Goure said, is "a huge advantage in these kinds of
Some elements of that noise suppression technology were visible in photos
of the tail section that was left behind. The main body of the helo was
blown up by the SEALs before they left with bin Laden's body, apparently
in order to prevent the exposure of other secret stealth components.
A Pentagon spokesman, Marine Col. David Lapan, declined to say Friday
whether Pakistan was resisting U.S. efforts to retrieve the remains of the
Sweetman said it was remarkable that the SEALs managed to swoop into the
compound and catch the bin Laden party by surprise.
"They're probably expecting that someday they could get a visit from

warning is that you hear the thing and then you look up and it's right
there, you've lost valuable time."

If you have never received a loan of any kind and are curious about it you need to understand that online cash advance lenders are not going to treat you the way that a bank does. Sure your credit will indeed play a major part in some of these types of transactions but for the most part you are going to be able to get a loan even if you have bad credit no credit or are trying to improve your credit. This is why it is often nicer to try to get a loan from an online dealer instead of from a bank or even a traditional lender in a business nearby the place that you live. Online lenders are also nice for people who live far away from cities and who would not otherwise be able to visit a loan company.
You will need to be able to provide certain information to any company that you get a loan from. This serves two purposes. The first purpose pertains to you in regard to establishing your identity and ensuring that you are whom you say you are and that someone has not stolen your precious information and is trying to get a loan. The second purpose of this information is to allow the loan company to make a judgment based on your credentials and whether or not they are going to be able to give you a loan at all. However this is standard procedure for almost any company so you need not worry.
The information that you will definitely need to provide is your full name your date of birth and in time you will need to give up other information. You may or may not have to provide your social security number job history rental or home history or even criminal history. It all depends on the company that you are getting the loan from. However not to worry not having this information does not mean you will not get a loan; you might just have to work a bit harder for it.
A bank account and a job are the two most vital parts to getting http://trustcashmobile.com online cash advance lenders to give you a loan. They need to be able to deposit to your account debit it from your account when it is due and to verify that you do indeed have a job and are not lying. Giving them all of this information might seem a bit overwhelming but you are going to be receiving money from them based on this. In addition if you have any outstanding loans you need to be sure to disclose this to them as it may change whether or not you can get a loan.
Upon checking that you have a job and an active bank account the loan company may want to either contact you contact your professional or personal references or even have you fax important information to them. Be sure to always be open and honest with the company you are getting the loan from so that the transition goes as smoothly as possible. Once you have finished all of the information and signed off on your loan you normally receive it within only a couple of days depending on the company the time of the week or on how long it takes them to process your loan.

What students say about the OMCA
I always thought the Office of Multicultural Affairs provided service to others, not Asian American students. After meeting with the Dean and the director, (a meeting they requested!) I found the office to be a safe, helpful, caring and inquisitive place and the experience gave me some insight into my own ethnic identity.
- Yvonne Lui, Swarthmore College, YSM '98
The OMCA in particular was created in response to minority student concerns. Accordingly, the office serves as an excellent resource for professional development as well as a haven for minority students. Regardless of your special interests, you can rest assured that you will find the necessary support to help you realize your full potential.
- Abike James, Dartmouth College,, YSM '97
As the Office for Minority Affairs began to rework itself into the current Office of Multicultural Affairs, my views and the views of other lesbigay students were solicited and respected. Sexual Orientation has been included in the nondiscrimination clause of the Yale Physician's Oath.
- A. J. Babineau, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, YSM '98
The Office of Multicultural Affairs is a very special part of the Yale experience. The warm staff has always been genuinely concerned with my academic development as a physician, and is always available for support and counsel.

Tide Tables - Dungeness Area
When visiting the lighthouse it is very important to consult the tide tables. We recommend planning your visit so that you arrive at the lighthouse at low tide. This helps reduce the need for walking over rocks and driftwood to avoid the waves.
Allow approximately 2 hours for the trip each way, 5 hours total. Fresh water, a modern toilet and a friendly keeper with a free tour are available at the lighthouse

Hey guys I would like to buy Pierre de Ronsard to grow on my trellis. The flowers are big and I love the colar and petals. I was wondering is Pierre de Ronsard and eden the same? I see some pictures in this forum under diff name but look similar in flower structure. Can it sustain the different weather of Houston. It gets really hot down here during the summer, and recently this winter kill a decent amount of my mom plants. I just love the color of the rose and the flower are really big for a climbing rose. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pierre de Ronsard was renamed "Eden Rose '88" in USA , and is now commonly known under this name . There is also a rose called Eden Rose , which is a hybrid tea and completley different from PdR . Winter hardiness is not a problem in your climate and it also does well in hot weather . Henrik |

Breast Cancer Facts
by Dave Foreman Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 182,460 women in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2008. They also estimate 40,480 women will die from the disease this year. Currently there are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the United States. (Men get this disease too. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates nearly 2,000 new male cases and 450 deaths for 2008) In the 60's, women had a 1 in 30 chance of getting breast cancer. In the 70's it increased to 1 in 20. According to the ACS, the chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is about 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 35. IT GETS WORSE. Modern medicine's advances in "treating" breast cancer have only put a small dent in the cure rate. Even though the incidence rates for female breast cancer dropped slightly from 2001-04, the therapies used cause illness, severe pain and drastic changes in the outer appearance of a woman's body. The focus seems to be on cutting, radiating and chemically attacking the body instead of supporting the body's own efforts to remove this dreaded disease. Prevention should be built around understanding the disease, including such things as knowing the risk factors and lifestyle changes (including my 4-Pillars of Great Health). Please don't misunderstand; I believe there's a time and place for modern medicine. My regret is that too often it looks at the surface of health instead of the root of the problem. There should be more focus on education about the benefits of lifestyle changes and less spent on potentially bogus research. WHO GETS BREAST CANCER? There are many risk factors that can increase your chance of developing breast cancer. Here are some of the more commonly accepted. If your mother, sister, or daughter has had breast cancer, you are up to 3 times more likely to develop breast cancer. Researchers have identified two genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2) responsible for some instances of familial breast cancer. (It is estimated that about 1/2 percent of women have this gene. Just having the gene doesn't mean you will get breast cancer, but your chances are increased.Other examples of risk factors are: Remember, risk factors are just that; having one or more of these will increase the possibility of developing the condition. Having any one of these isn't necessarily a sentence of doom, but should be treated as a wakeup call to take better care of yourself. SO WHAT CAN YOU DO? I am drawn to one conclusion: Lifestyle is the one constant in most forms of cancer we get. If we could just change certain things about how we live, we probably wouldn't get cancer. In past articles on cancer I stated that you won't get cancer if your immune system is functioning optimally. Cancer cells are abnormal cells. If your immune system was working the way it should, it would identify the bad cells and destroy them. I believe that, because of the many lifestyle choices we make, (not following my 4-Pillars of Great Health), we place our bodies in harm's way by decreasing the effectiveness of our immune system. As I have stated in every newsletter, the 4 Pillars are Supplements, Diet, Activity and Spirituality. Let's start with Dietary supplements. See the chart for a list of supplements I recommend. Doses may change based on your condition and its severity. Someone with Stage IV cancer should be more aggressive with dosing than someone who is just looking at prevention. This is the laundry list of supplements you should consider. Of these listed supplements, many can be purchased in "breast health" supplements. Examples such as Advanced Breast Support (M.D. Select)would be a great step in the right direction. I would use these as part of my foundation when building the Herbal Pharmacist® Dietary supplement program. The next level up would be to use a good antioxidant that targets your condition. Supplements like Super Critical Antioxidant (New Chapter) would be a great fit. You may wish to add more antioxidants if you wish to be more aggressive. Finding a combination antioxidant which contains CoQ10, and vitamin A, and maybe the herbs Green Tea and Turmeric would be great. I also throw Flor–Essence Tea into this level. This amazing tea is ALWAYS part of my supplement recommendations for those with cancer concerns. Not only is it a great antioxidant, it also possesses detoxification properties. I especially like its ability to work on cleansing the lymphatic system. This system is critical in all forms of cancer, but especially breast cancer. I have had great success using this tea on a daily basis. Doses ranging from 1-2 ounces per day to the more aggressive 4-8 ounces per day in very severe cases. Note large doses will usually cause side effects like digestive discomfort and diarrhea. The third level of supplementation would be your fish oil supplement. The jury is still out on how much is enough without going overboard. I usually recommend consuming 2-3 grams per day to maintain overall health. Perhaps 5-10 grams per day would be considered the high end for a more aggressive approach. Even though a probioticis not listed below, I believe we all should take a daily supplement of these friendly bacteria. There isn't any research to say it helps, but with more "good guys" in your digestive system, your body can focus on doing positive work instead of spending energy on another health issue that may crop up due to insufficient friendly bacteria. Look for a guaranteed delivery product like Reuteri Pearls (Nature's Way) or Flora Smart(Renew Life) for blended formulations. There are other miscellaneous supplements such as Melatonin that can be very helpful, but consult with your healthcare provider to determine dosing. Also, many of the other supplements, like soy, should be used with caution by those with estrogen positive cancer. Also, the fat-soluble vitamins like D3, A and E should be used with caution if you are consuming higher than recommended doses. Please consult with a qualified healthcare professional to find the dose that's right for you. As I always preach, you can't do just one Pillar and expect to be a healthy individual. Let's take a quick look at other recommendations for those concerned with Breast Cancer. DIET I feel like a broken CD, but here it goes. Throw away and stop consuming refined foods. (especially sugar and flour based products) I define a refined food as one that isn't in its original state (such as, pasta, bread, bagels, refined oils, etc.) Instead eat whole foods: fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, meats (organic lean cuts), chicken (organic), eggs (organic) and fish (not too much because of heavy metal toxicity). I prefer being heavy on the fruits and veggies and lighter on the animal proteins. If you are having trouble with the fruits and veggies, buy powdered supplements that contain fruit and vegetable extracts. If you're into soy, eat fermented soy products like tofu. (I recommend staying away from soy because there are too many conflicting studies about it being beneficial or harmful, especially with estrogen positive forms of cancer) ACTIVITY Studies show exercise reduces breast cancer risk. I teach in my seminars that regardless of health challenges you are fighting or preventing, to walk briskly 30-45 minutes per day. Brisk walking is defined like this: If you are walking with someone and talking, you should be having trouble catching your breath. According to the American Cancer Society website (www.cancer.org) one study found that as little as 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2 and a half hours of brisk walking per week reduced the risk by 18%. Their recommendation is that you exercise for 45 to 60 minutes, 5 or more days a week. MIND/SPIRIT I've covered the power of prayer and the belief in GOD before. I think that the majority of us understand the power of religion (whatever you may follow) and our overall health outcome. I recommend taking a deeper look into our hearts and souls to help us be healthier individuals. What about the mind/body connection? My favorite source for this is Louise Hay. Louise Hay believes there is a mental or emotional link to our health (and so do I). Referring to her book Heal Your Body we find two different areas. She doesn't single out Breast Cancer as a single condition so we have to look at two: Breast(s) and Cancer. Under Breast(s) she states a link with "A refusal to nourish the self. Putting everyone else first. Over mothering, Overprotection, Overbearing attitudes" For Cancer she mentions: "Deep hurt. Longstanding resentment. Deep secret or grief eating away at the self. Carrying hatreds. "What's the use?" If any of these ring true for you, I recommend getting her book(s) and begin working on replacing your negative thought/emotion with a positive one. Too often we overlook the mind/spirit component of health. If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired then there is no time like the present to start. Whether I have this condition or I am looking to prevent it, I would use the same basic supplements. (Doses may change based on your condition and its severity.) |

Why is my baby so unhappy?
My son is 5 months and always seems to be unhappy. My daughter was so easy going and he is the total opposite. He has trouble playing by himself, even with me in the room. He wakes up between 3 and 5 times a night. There are times when he is happy and smiles, but those times are few and far between. I've only been able to get him to laugh about five times, if that. I just don't know what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions. Even to know that I am not the only one with an unhappy baby would help!! Thanks

I have a very unhappy toddler. She is very clingy all day. She is 16 mths and still wants to be held all day. She hates to sleep and won't sleep for more than 4-5 hours at a time. She seems tired all day. Nothing makes her happy. She is healthy by a doctor's standard. Any advice? She is my first and most likely my last! I stay at home with her, play with her, do everything I can to make her happy, but she just seems so miserable!posted 01/17/2008 by tater06
I took my nine month old to to doctor and talked to him about the unhappiness - he thought it was reflux - prescribed a melt-in-your-mouth medicine and a week later I am happy to report that my little baby is just the happiest little thing. She is a different child now! My older one had reflux as well but it looked so different then this one that I didn't think it could be the same thing. But, lo and behold - it was!

My goodness! I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one. Thank you! It seems that my 8 month old is never content as well. She won't even let me leave the room for 2 seconds before she starts screaming. If I sit with her while she plays, she will play for maybe 5 seconds then cry. When others are around, she is even more needy and I hate always making excuses like "she missed her nap" or "I don't think she is feeling herself today." I don't have any suggestions, but I'm willing to listen :) and maybe we can come up with something to help both of our kiddos...and perhaps ourselves too ;)posted 12/25/2007 by jamieleigh12

I am so glad I'm not alone in this! My daughter is almost 4 months old and has been a "fussy" baby from birth. She had a lot of issues in the beginning (she is formula fed) finding the right formula and she is pretty gassy with constipation issues. She also was diagnosed with acid reflux when she was 3 weeks old and has been on different medications since, but since nothing prescribed seems to work and the typical symptoms of acid reflux don't seem to be the case with her, I am at my wits end. She smiles here and there througout the day, laughs maybe once a day if I tickle her or am being really silly, but most of the day she is whining and screaming whether I am holding her or not. All of her basic needs seem to be met (changed, fed, gas drops, etc.) yet she just cries and cries sometimes and there is nothing we can do. I pray every day that she grows out of it. I love her so much, but she is so hard to take sometimes and it takes so much out of you!posted 01/26/2012 by nicolemariegoodson
My son is 8 months old and has been unhappy from birth. He was diagnosed with reflux and has been on medication since he was 8 weeks old. The meds do help, A LOT! But he is still extremely unhappy. It seems like he goes through unhappy phases. We had about 3 weeks (around 5-6 months old) where he was SO happy and laughed and smiled. All of a sudden he reverted back to his old self. He still wakes up several times a night, mostly to spit up due to his reflux. He recently had a dose adjustment, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I feel so bad for him...he cries all day and seems to be miserable, but the docs say that he is as healthy as can be. We've tried everything we can think of to soothe him. Maybe he is just a sensitive boy...but it's so hard to see him cry all day and not be able to help him. I've been redirecting and distracting his "tantrums" but it seems like everything upsets him after a few minutes. I have no idea what to do!!??posted 04/17/2009 by rishy24
I have a 5 month old son. He is never happy no matter what. He is healthy according to the doctor. We pick him up, we feed him, we do everything we can to make him happy. Nothing seems to work. I wish I could answer your question but I am after the same answer.posted 11/27/2014 by carcrazy0121
I posted this question about a month ago when my son was so unhappy. I have found a "cure" and hope this will help others as it has helped me and my son so much. Soon after I posted this question, I purchased a book, Healty Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth. You have to get this book. I have gotten my son on a great schedule, which he obviously was telling me he needed. I now think that his unhappyness was caused by him being so overtired. Within 3 days of getting him on a schedule, he has became a total different child - he is happy. He wakes up happy with a bright smile and is happy throughout the day. I previously thought that his crying when I put him down for naps and bedtime was due to feelings of being alone and scared. I now realize that the crying was just a protest to sleep. We would not feed our toddlers junk food all day because it is unhealthy - it is just as unhealthy to deprive our babies of the sleep they need even though they protest. Try a schedule!!!posted 12/31/2007 by adknewton
I have a very unhappy 4 month old too, and a VERY happy, bouncy and bubbly 2 year old. We're concerned about her development because she just doesn't seem to be reaching all the milestones that 4 month olds reach. We're hoping that she's just on her own time schedule, but she acts more like a 2 1/2 or 3 month old, and most of the time is pretty unresponsive to what is going on around her. She cries a lot and rarely coos or smiles. If she smiles once a day and coos once every 2 or 3 days we're overjoyed. I don't think she has reflux, but I'm going to look into a different sleep schedule. She takes cat naps in the morning, usually a good long afternoon nap (2-3 hours) then cat naps again in the evening before going to bed at 8. She wakes usually only 1 or 2 times each night. It is so frustrating and stressful to think our baby is not happy. I hope she doesn't stay like this forever.posted 04/04/2011 by ebery99
I am so thankful to see these posts. It helps to keep my mommy guilt in check. My 8 month old is about to be "let go" from her 2nd daycare b/c she cries unless she is being held. Her sleeping has finally improved but after reading these posts, I think I will take her to the doc and see if there could be a reflux prob also. I'm so sad that our daycare can't seem to handle this.posted 10/21/2010 by a BabyCenter Member

"Home of Expeditionary Forces in Readiness"
By Lance Cpl. Joshua Grant | Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune | December 19, 2013
Tragedies like the Fort Hood and Washington Naval Yard shootings are reminders violence can sometimes be present aboard a government facility, but a new system will assist in keeping all base residents safe and informed.
AtHoc, a mass notification system, is being implemented aboard all Marine Corps installations to provide better security and safety for its residents.
"AtHoc was rolled into the installation emergency management program as a result of the Fort Hood shooting," said Paul Stenger, director of plans for the Marine Corps Installations East Operations Division. "There is a Department of Defense requirement to notify the base population within 10 minutes of any threat."
Once fully deployed, the system is capable of notifying all service members and DOD civilians aboard Camp Lejeune with a common access card regarding threats. Personnel must specify the means of preferred notification including phone call, email or text, said Tabatha Hart, web emergency operations center administrator for Marine Corps Installations East.
AtHoc is designed to notify users of emergencies such as active shooters, terrorist attacks or natural disasters.
The Giant Voice system was installed to reach dependents and all other civilians working on base as another part of the emergency management program.
"The Giant Voice system, the large public announcement speaker system, is designed to help notify the individuals not alerted by AtHoc," said Stenger. "The speaker system is already in place in high population areas across the base, including school areas and housing, to ensure everyone is made aware of any incident or disaster."
Stenger added, the Giant Voice will notify people of an emergency, but will also inform them of the best course of action, whether to seek shelter or avoid an area of base.
All eligible AtHoc users will be able to modify their AtHoc settings by accessing the purple globe icon in the right corner on their Navy Marine Corps Internet computer, or visit https://alerts1.mcdsus.mcds.usmc.mil/SelfService/Entry.aspx?pid=2060346.

I have a ubuntu lts server setup. I connect to it using ssh through terminal.
I created a new user on the server, added him to a group, and am trying to set group permissions so they can write to the /var/www directory.
The problem I have is if I connect to the server using root, I can write to the /var/www folder. If I use the new user I created I cannot.
I'm looking for a step by step walk-through on how I can configure this from the ssh terminal window.
Thank you in advance!

rayt2 Posts: 1,208The Mini comes from the factory equipped with Castrol Synthetic motor oil and that or Mobil 1 is suggested by Mini for oil changes. Your Mini comes with 3yr/36k free maintenance and the oil/filter changes are @10k intervals under factory recommendation. No more worries!
Motor on......

ontheroadagain Posts: 44I've read a great deal about how people take care of their MINIs...
What do you all use and do you have any suggestions for your basic, lazy, person who doesn't want to get into too much "detail"?
I've heard of Autoglym, Meguiars, Mother's, etc. but they all seem very much geared to the nonlazy types.
Thanks! -
rochamboe Posts: 1I have owned my Cooper S for about a month now and have roughly 2700 miles on it. My question is regarding the changing of the oil and filter.
I am aware that the car uses synthetic oil which is recommended by MINI to be changed every 10,000 miles at its time of scheduled maintenance. I admit that I am not very familiar with the unique qualities of synthetic oil, having been a "normal" motor oil user for the life of my previous car, but despite the improved quality of the synthetic oil I have my doubts about leaving it in for 10,000 miles (these doubts have been reiterated one-hundred fold by my dad, a serious car guy who has been taking care of his own cars and, needless to say, changing his own oil in 3,000 to 6,000 mile intervals his whole life). Even if the oil itself doesn't break down as quickly, it still collects as much dirt and grime as the old-fashioned kind. Isn't this dirt which builds up in the oil still going to put unneccesary wear on the engine sooner than the 10,000 mile boundary? Are there any other MINI owners out there who change their oil at shorter intervals and/or would recommend doing so?
Thank you! -
rayt2 Posts: 1,208Mini will not change your oil for first service any sooner than the 10k mark under their maintenance schedule. Then after that its by the countdown clock built in to their computer which calculates for your drivng conditions. If you want it done sooner you'll have to pay for it. I personally felt the same as your dad initially and was of the "old school" thought too with oil changes, I did them every 3 to 5k on my cars, not anymore. The new synthetic oils are incredible and so much better than the ole dino juice oils. BMW's, Corvettes and many others now come standard with them from factory for a reason, their superior performance which has been time tested.
Tell Dad times change with better products.
I do however change the oil in my Mini after every 15k, that to me is enough miles, my countdown clock says I can still go another 2 to 4k but I draw the line there.
I have 56k on my 03 Cooper and have done 2 of the 4 oil changes in its life myself so far with no issues.
Take advantage of the syntech oils and delay your changes until recommended intervals, then take dad out to lunch with the money saved.
:shades: -
rayt2 Posts: 1,208If you have a heavy foot (like me) yes I have had to add a 1/2 qt in between the 15000 mile oil changes intervals. I would not consider that heavy oil consumption by no means, but think of all the fun I'm having driving the daylights outta this car. Drive it like ya stole it ! :shades: Mileage also drops 30 to 33 mpg with a heavier foot. 56k and counting..........
Ray T. -
whimsicalbunny Posts: 2
rayt2 Posts: 1,208That means you have 9400 miles to go till the oil needs changing (it's a "countdown" clock). As stated before Mini does first oil change at 10k there after within 600 miles of the countdown clock run out. That's why you may see your next oil change done with 18k on the last change. It's based on how you drive. I commute 100 miles a day which is relatively easy miles on an engine compared to stop & go city driving which would shorten the oil change interavals.
Ray T. :shades: -
whimsicalbunny Posts: 2Thanks Ray...
I guess the thing that confuses me is that it keeps increasing. Like it says -9400 but last week it was at -9000. It makes me thing im over my 9400. Will it be very obvious when it hits the number when its time to change?
Again...Thanks for helping the clueless chick in the cutest car ever
rayt2 Posts: 1,208Are you sure your looking at the countdown clock on display or your odometer mileage ? Maybe they set yours to count up but I don't think so.
Read thru your manual and get aquainted with your new car, there are a lot of helpful miniizzums they go over as to how it all works...............

mikeinstw Posts: 1I recently purchased a 1967 Mini S Cooper, Mark II. It has been sitting in a warehouse for 31 years ! If any one has some ideas as to what I should be doing to get it driving again please contact me. So far I have only drained the fluids. I'm not even sure what type of oil to use.
The car has 12,389 miles on it and is in excellent condition, but has not been on the road since 1974.
I would appreciate any advise you can give me,
Thanks, mike in stw -
jfl Posts: 1,356Mike,
Congrats on your "new" acquisition. There are lots of books available on Mini restoration. Also, you can check out this website.: http://www.maxvandaalen.com/cooper/cooper.html
Good luck,
Jim -
hdsmitty Posts: 1A sales person told me the MINI base model will run fine on regular unleaded. I can't confirm this on the websites I've checked. Anyone have experience with this or have some reliable information. My fear is he was just telling me what he thought I wanted to hear to sell a car.
Thanks. -
minitech Posts: 11First make sure you use 5w30 synthetic oil. It comes with castrol from the factory. The size of the oil filter housing is a 36mm. Using as shallow a socket as possible will help. Make sure you just loosen it to just past the gasket AND DO NOT REMOVE THE FILTER CAP UNTIL YOU DRAIN THE OIL. This will save you a very large mess to clean up off your car and garage. There is no reason to reset your counter as it will mess with your service maintenance plan. You can get the socket from a snap-on dealer or sears. Hope this helps a little.
minitech Posts: 11Hes correct. It is actually a recommendation to run low octane fuel, as it burns faster than high octane fuel, if your vehicle tends to act like its going to die at idle. The reasoning for this is a purge valve(part of fuel evaporation emissions system) situation that creates a small vacuum leak thats not recognized by the DME(computer). So, all that said, yes its ok to run regular. And if your car runs funny at idle, there you go too.
minitech Posts: 11well...you can go back to mini dealer and tell the salesman that he is on crack!! The Mini is not factory equiped with a Bluetooth kit. There is a dealer installed kit available though. You can see it on dealership website under accessories..not cheap but it works. Dont expect crystal clear quality, but if you are used to any bluetooth product you know what I mean.
If by chance I am the one on crack by telling you that your car does not have bluetooth already..
goto settings on phone..connections..bluetooth..set up..find me..now before hitting find me. You have to get car bluetooth into pairing mode. The dealer kit(which is what Im used to) goes like this..options..setup..pairing. Something like that. read manual..thats right off top of my head so if Im a little off..sue me. Now hit find me on phone-will tell you discoverable for 60 sec. on phone hit back..handsfree-phone will look for a signal..it should link. Minis are good about bluetooth link, unlike BMWs. once it has found device pair to it and there you go...if i left something out....well...it wont work..keep trying. read manual. but i think i got everything.. good luck
but i think your salesman is on crack... -
macdpj Posts: 1I purchased a mini 2005 in June of 2005. One month after owning the car it completely died in the middle of a busy bridge. I was stopped and tried to accelerate and it started sputtering and jerking then died. It was towed to the dealership where they said they solved the problem. It then occurred two other times with trips back to the garage. Since then I find it very jerky and, as someone mentioned, feels like it's about to die in idle. I've only used premium gas as the owners manual recommends this but the guys at the dealership did mention to use lower octane gas. Has anyone had this experience with their mini and does anyone know what is the cause because the guys at the mini garage don't seem to know.
esquared Posts: 2Don't know if this has been addressed else where, but I just bought a 2006 Mini S Convertible (WHICH I LOVE). Mini doesn't seem to recommend one product over another to care for my ragtop. Anyone have good recommendations? Its my first convertible (second Mini) and unfortunately I don't have covered parking so this is an issue.
Thanks! -

mhenderson1 Posts: 164After reviewing many MINI sites, one convertible care product that came up was called "303 Aerospace Convertible Top Care Kit". I found one site selling this product for at least around $21. I don't know the site address offhand, but you can google it, and type in "Superior Car Care". I also heard that "Leatherique" which is also sold by them, is a good solution for your leather or vinyl. I ordered some and I will tell you how well it works in the next few days. I also heard that BMW sells a solution for convertible tops as well. I believe they wanted at least $18 for the top cleaner only, and $69 for the entire kit.
mmitch09 Posts: 1Hi I have a question. My MINI's warranty recently expired and I want to do my own maintenance. My only question what do I need to do? I already have changed my own oil, but what else should I be doing. I know normal cars have certain times to change coolant and other things but the MINI is very different than your average car. So if you could offer some advice or a place to find that information I would be grateful. -mmitch09 :P
jackel142 Posts: 47I had spent the past 20 years as a service & parts manager for Mercedes Benz, and for Acura. I left the business a year ago due to the constant deception the company was forcing us to feed to the customers.
Mercedes Benz came up with the 10,000 mile oil change back in late 97, the reason they did, was to lower the cost per mile of maintance of the car. The tests they performed were using european grade oil (not available in the US). When the cars began to "use" oil, We were told to tell the customers that it is "normal" and that anything less than 1 quart per 650 miles is within spec. THIS IS A JOKE! You try telling a customer who has spent $100,000 on a car that they need to add a quart of oil every 600 miles.
The MB's also have up to a 8 quart oil pan. If you don't change your oil every 3000-5000 miles, you will have long term problems!

Case Study: CFM blocks FAA plan to restrict Pearson Field
Federal Aviation Administration officials proposed an airspace restriction for Vancouver's Pearson Field that would have resulted in significant delays and safety issues for aircraft using the field, as well as Portland International Airport. The City of Vancouver and CFM had a mere 10 days to block the FAA regulation. CFM contacted airport stakeholders and fed information to the Washington and Oregon congressional delegations. Washington Senator Patty Murray led the effort to elevate local concerns to the highest levels within FAA. The agency convened a review panel, which at CFM's insistence included local stakeholders and experts. The review panel suggested some minor communications improvements, but vetoed the proposed regulations.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood stealths its way into the shops this Friday, November 19 - and the first reviews are massive.
In our review we went for a score of 92%, praising Brotherhood's brilliant sandbox and solid Assassin-building gameplay.
Before reviewing the game this month, we travelled to Rome to meet the dev team and play the game in its most natural surroundings - and we took our dictaphone with us.
In the third and final chat in our series of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood interviews, producer Vincent Pontbriand shares his final thoughts on the epic action game.
If you missed them, check out our chats with senior international brand manager Eric Gallant and lead designer Patrick Plourde.
How does it feel to be finished?
Nervous, you never know. We try our best, we put in as much effort as possible and then the game needs to ship. The window of opportunity for these big games is Christmas, so it needs to be out on shelves by a certain date. If you do retro-planning this is it, the end of September early October is it. So we're nervous.
The game feels done. We always have ideas for improvements - we wish we had ten more years - but we have to stop at some point though right?
The post-release DLC for the last game wasn't received well. Is that something that you intend to do better with Brotherhood?
We wish to. I think people felt cheated at the impression that there was stuff that didn't make it into the game. It's frustrating since I can understand that view but it wasn't our intentions at all.
We want to give more of the game so we have plans for post-launch DLC. It's a mix between maintaining shelf life, which is going to be easier with multiplayer I think. It's obvious what you can do with that. It's harder to expand it story wise in terms of single-player because otherwise you never have closure, you have to re-open doors if you know what I mean. It's a calculated risk.
Then on my side people want to go on vacation so I have to manage who gets to go, who gets to stay and work on that.
What's the reception been like for multiplayer - what are fans saying?
Very positive. We're extremely satisfied with early results, it's an ambitious addition and we surprised a lot of people. The reception at E3 reassured us and then gave us a boost to step up and add even more.
Have you made any significant changes as a result of the beta?
Most of it relates to signs and feedback. People get the core gameplay loop, it's just balancing and everything you need to show on screen for feedback. Stuff like score, next target, are you being spotted, are you anonymous - there's a lot of information we need to show without stuffing the HUD. A lot of it revolves around that but then there's smaller details, looking at what we can do to improve that.
Does Brotherhood drop any hints story-wise as to where the series might go next?
We rely a lot on the present day story to do that. You always like to see the place for future games and keep a little bit of mystery. That's one of our specialities, it's a little of both where we plan for the future but keep it mysterious. We have that but with some margin to change our mind.

I had been finding brown, dead buds in the last week on two of my rhodies, and finally found the culprit. I took a picture, but can't seem to figure out how to post it. It's a smallish, black, winged bug. It's so attached to the bud that I can't really get it off without leaving some of the bug behind (Ieuuuw!!) There are also a few spots on the leaves chewed out. The rhodies in question are up against a laurel hedge that is showing definite signs of pest damage - holes chewed, brown spots, dying leaves. Anyone have any ideas what this could be? And, even more importantly, how to get rid of it? Organic solutions appreciated, as so far, the yard has been gardened organically. Although, I'm not above using a non-organic solution in a small space to save these huge rhodies. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm at a loss, I can't think of a small, black, winged bug that causes damage to rhododendron buds here. There is a disease that can cause buds to turn brown during winter and buds not to open, but are the dead buds on your plants possibly facing the same location, getting the same type of exposure? The temperatures we had the end of February after gardens had begun to show signs of Spring were low enough in some areas to damage buds, I did notice buds on the sides of rhododendrons that had no protection from freezing winds that were brown and dead in Cowlitz County when there for Easter. Temperatures were not as extreme (or as dry) here near the coast. If your leaf damage is notches along the edges, weevils are causing it. If entire sides of leaves are eaten to mid vein, most likely climbing cutworms. |

I may have weevils as well given the way the foliage is chewed. I did look at the link you provided, morz8, and it appears that the weevil is not the bug on the buds. I was able to post a picture of the bug on the Garden Clinic forum here on Garden web, which is listed with the same subject line as here. The link also looks like it has good information on general rhodie care, which is helpful to me, as I am a beginner with rhodies, so thanks! |
Hadley, I looked at the photo you posted Garden Clinic and agree with the suggestion it's something harmless to your plants from the wasp family. It may have just had the bad sense to land on your bud...rhododendron buds are stickey. You say these are large shrubs, there may be nothing you need to do for your unopened buds other than pinch them off later in Spring when you know for certain they are both brown and dry and not just late. You will probably want to do something for the weevils if the leaf damage is more than just lightly cosmetic. An occasional chewed leaf I can deal with...nothing is perfect in our gardens every year...in large numbers the weevils will have larvae that can damage the roots. Rhododendron care isn't difficult in our climate, mulch (I mulch mine with compost and skip fertilizing) and make sure they have water when we haven't had rain. Deadhead any spent blooms you can reach before they set seed for best bloom next year. Here's another site with several articles by a local author you may also enjoy |

Once again the little button that lets you post pictures is not showing up on the azalea and rhodie forum. So I will have to post the picture of the dead bud on the garden clinic forum. There appears to be something else going on with the rhodies on my new property as well that may or may not be related to the bud death. At first, I just thought it was death due to the drought summer conditions here in Seattle the last two summers, but now I wonder. I will post a separate posting with pictures on the garden clinic forum. The laurel hedge behind the rhodies has also shown up with a big problem in the last several weeks, and I'll be posting that on the garden clinic forum as well. Thanks so much for all your valuable advice! |

The Arctic Blast we had in February has caused a lot of damage on normally hardy plants. Conifers all over the region are burnt and Rhodies as well. |
