Self-organized Sessions at the 2014 Education GIS Conference
If you attended last year's Esri Education GIS Conference, you recall that we introduced "unconference" sessions. So many attendees approved that we're including a track of self-organized sessions again this year. Our goal is to let participants have a say in the conference program.
The self-organized sessions will take place Tuesday afternoon, July 15, in the Marriott Hotel, Marina Salon F. An orientation session from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm will be your chance to propose a discussion topic of your choice, and to convince others to join you.
The first self-organized sessions will run 1:30 to 2:45 pm. All discussions will take place in one big room, with each discussion having its own roundtable. At 2:45 pm we'll invite each discussion leader to report out to the entire group.
The second round of sessions will run 3:15 to 4:30 pm, followed again by reports. Reports could take the form of a lightning talk, or a post in our conference Facebook page, or even an entry in the Conference Proceedings.
What discussion topic might you propose?
Please plan to join us Tuesday afternoon!

Why is it that some people can move on happily after a divorce, while others walk around bitter and angry many years post-divorce? There is one thing for certain, there is no looking back. All I and everyone around me wants, is to be "happy". What does happiness really mean, and how do we realize this goal once we have divorced? What I've learned is that life is a journey. It is a rocky road full of bends and bumps and lots of uncertainty. But, if you allow it to be so, it can be exciting, frustrating, sad, lonely, enjoyable, adventurous and fulfilling.

If you are single, you might have already tried to going through blind dates, went out with new friends who you met for the first time. You all have stories to tell about your dating experiences in the past. But, families and friends aren't the only source of dating available these days.
Naming Our Sex Organs: What This Reveals About Us
If you're like me, you probably grew up in an era when the genitals were imbued with a wonderful sense of mystique. When it came to body parts, an eye was always an eye and a tooth a tooth. When it came to the vagina however, it was a pocket, a pok-pok, a coochie, a pokey or some other slang term, some of which will remain unmentionable in this forum. What these "covert" terms revealed was that our parents and grandparents had a distinct discomfort with the issue of our genitals.
I am a diehard Laker fan an it is not fun to watch them now.pray for me this will be a long an painful seasons.
Five Reasons Why Your Not Getting Any
1. Cleanliness- Ever hear that saying cleanliness is next to godliness ? Well its the same with sex. Your sugar bowl should be in pristine shape every time lovin is the in the atmosphere. Even if you think your kitty is fresh double up and get in that shower. Let me put it like this. No man wants to go downtown with your vajay jay smelling like Red lobster. Wash , Rinse, and Repeat.
How The Kiss Became French
Ooh La La the perverse pleasure of the French kiss. How did we become to know this wet wrestle of tongues as the not so American kiss but the French one ? Well it has been long known that the French are more open with sexuality than Americans. Americans are known to be prudish and ashamed of sex. Though the term "French Kiss " has been coined since the early 1920s no one knows exactly where it came from. Other sources claim the French kiss is compared to the Soul Kiss .
What's with the double standards?
What's with the double standards in relationships? It's always been a touchy subject, especially for the girls, but when is it justified and when is it just flat out wrong? Let's be honest, when girls get together they talk about guys. Whether it's praising, complaining or venting, when there are girls, there is some serious girl talk is going down. So let's talk about girls who are in relationships.
Battle of the Age(s)
So one topic that's been popping up a lot lately between my friends and I, and also just girls of my age is: 'What do we want?' It's been instilled in us to always make these great and vast decisions and then expected to deliver promising results. Deciding on a college, a major, friendship circle, sorority, job, career, the list goes on and on. But how are we ever to be sure we even know what we really want?
Seriously, what NOT to do-after SEX
These are a few things that would drive anyone crazy, if done immediately following sex. Remember, post sex behaviors could possibly disgust the one your with and ruin your chances of another sexual moment. Post impressions is the same as first impressions. You want to leave the person with warm and fuzzy memories, not these nightmares.

The London space is just the beginning. Kirkwood is close to signing a lease for a second shop in a yet-to-be-disclosed location in New York and is now plotting retail growth in southeast Asia and the Middle East.
But the process won't be easy, according to Farrar-Hockley. "He's going to learn how to be a retailer himself and about all the dramas that come with that," she said. "There's a steep learning curve, but he's conscious of that."
Even with many of the ingredients for growth, Kirkwood says there's still something missing.
"Everybody believes we can make this happen — and we have a lot of industry support — but the general public still isn't aware of us, unless they're avid fashion followers," said Kirkwood. "I want people to see a girl walking down the street and say 'those are Nicholas Kirkwoods.'"
How does he plan to get in front of more consumers?
"Maybe we need to start investing in more celebrity dressing," he said. "I used to think it was cheesy to say you cared about celebrities, but I know it's important."
While he's not yet a red-carpet favorite, Kirkwood has gotten a big boost from major celebrities such as Julianne Moore and Sarah Jessica Parker, who are frequently seen wearing his styles.
"I have loved watching the rise of Nicholas," Parker told Footwear News. "He's an immensely talented designer and he is definitely one of my favorites."
Kirkwood has seen the power of celebrity at work. "Look at Jimmy Choo. Everyone knows it, even the taxi drivers," he said.
Jimmy Choo's rapid rise has also shown Kirkwood how lucrative a hot brand can be. Its recent $850 million sale to Labelux Group certainly got his attention.
But don't expect him to hang out the for-sale sign anytime soon. "I don't think I would sell the business outright, at least not at this point," he said. "Maybe it's a series of steps, but it isn't one big leap."
To that end, the designer last year divested a 5 percent stake in the business to an industry investor, who has remained anonymous. (Kirkwood still owns a vast majority of the brand, while Suarez and Wendy Kirkwood also each own a small stake.) "This investor doesn't just give us money; he helps us with the business," Kirkwood said. "It was a strategic decision."
While he declined to comment on the size of the business, sources pegged the company's recent valuation at $35 million to $38 million.
"We have a lot more to do," said Kirkwood, who hasn't taken a vacation for the last seven years.
Men's shoes and handbags are both on the agenda for the next year.
And would he ever consider launching a lower-priced diffusion line, a popular growth avenue for many luxury designers?
"The only way I would consider it is if Italy got so expensive that only the ultra-elite could buy product made there. But costs have already gone up so much, so I don't see that happening. "
Ready-to-wear isn't part of the plan, either. "I just don't think that would be the correct thing to do. It wouldn't be believable," the designer said. "It's a whole category you need to study separately."
While Kirkwood mulls his next step, industry players said he now must figure out what his business model should be.
"He's going through a little bit of what Louboutin went through," Frasch said. "Eventually, he brought in [COO] Alexis [Mourot] to oversee the supply chain and the organizational structure. Those kinds of things allow you to elevate the business."
Yes, even the retail crowd can't help but compare Kirkwood to footwear's brightest star.
"Not that many years ago, the name Christian Louboutin wasn't widely known," said Neiman Marcus' Downing. "He slowly started building notoriety and came on strong. Now people know those red soles from five miles away. As the customer begins to know Nicholas and other new brands, they will become loyal to them as well."
Kurt Geiger's Farrar-Hockley summed it up this way: "Louboutin has immense talent and skill and stamina, but he's had a lot of good luck, too," she said. "Nicholas has many of the same ingredients. Will he have all the luck? Who knows."
Nicholas On...
Label lust: "I would love to build my brand like Hermès, but I don't think it's realistic. It takes 24 working hours to make each bag. That is true luxury. Hermès is really the only true luxury brand left."
America vs. Europe: "It used to be that contemporary brands would come from America and luxury and designer brands would come from Europe. In the last few years, that line very much blurred. It's very sad to see some of the big luxury companies making shoes in China. It would be more understandable if it was ready-to-wear."
Social media: "I understand why it exists, but I just don't think it's very chic. It's so self-promoting and cheesy. You're not going to get Hermès or Alaïa tweeting. We have a Facebook page, but we don't even manage it. I guess we should try to get it. It's not even up to date."
Dream collaborations: "From our generation, Alexander McQueen. He was such a visionary. From the past, Leonardo DaVinci. And maybe Jesus. We could make shoes for walking on water."
On his first order: "It was Kurt Geiger for Harrods. I remember Neil [Clifford] and Rebecca [Farrar-Hockley] walking around Premiere Classe and stopping in. And then the buyer came back and bought it. And I was like, 'Oh my god, this is amazing, this actually happened.' It was a great first step."
The most expensive shoe he's ever made: "The Keith Haring roller skates. We haven't even put a price on them, but they would probably be more than 20,000 pounds. The most expensive shoe we ever sold was a knee-high suede-and-alligator boot. It was 7,000 pounds and we sold one pair. I should pull them out again. They would look great in our store window.
His alternate career path: "I studied fine arts in college, so I'd probably work in a gallery, or do something with industrial design, furniture or lighting."
Decade hopping: "I'd love to have a time machine where you could bounce back and forth. I would have loved Paris in the 1930s. It was such an era of decadence and creativity. I love the 1980s as well. I was around, but I didn't really live it. I love the music and the extreme looks, good and bad."

Our Japanese blood grass is spreading quite aggressively. It is running through neighboring hair grasses and other plants. We've dug out and removed rhizomes where nothing else are planted. Does anyone have recommendations on how to remove the grass where other plants grow? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It will not be easy. There are a couple of approaches: 1. Tediously cut out all the Imperata foliage from within the plants it has invaded. You may have to do this several times to get it to stop coming back. If there are plants with thick growths of Imperata, you can use a strong herbicide, like Roundup, carefully applied by hand to the Imperata foliage only. This is best done by using a cotton glove, over a surgical exam glove. Dip two fingers into the herbicide, and wipe it onto the Imperata foliage, being careful not to touch the other plant's foliage. 2. Isolate sections of the invaded plant, and carefully dig out divisions, avoiding any of the Imperata's root system. Transplant these divisions into pots, and watch for Imperata growth. If you get any, use the same herbicide treatment listed above. Good luck. When this stuff reverts to green, it's wildly invasive. |
Yes, it should only be planted where it can be contained (by a pot, wide barrier, or perhaps a lawnmower). Too bad it doesn't come with that warning. In my case, I just pulled it out by hand, I saw the way it was growing and got it before it was too terrible...and just kept at it till it stopped coming back. I think I managed to kill it all one season. |
Thank you so much for your advices. We moved invaded plants, dug out the blood grass as much as we could, and are now checking the area daily and pull new growths out when we see them. Hopefully, they will stop coming up next season. |

Five years ago this month, an American facility was opened in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba to house the most dangerous combatants captured in the global war against Militant Islamism. To commemorate the anniversary, anti-Guantánamo demonstrations have been staged in more than 20 countries. In Washington last week, more than 80 protestors were arrested after they refused to leave a federal court house.
But it is Amnesty International that has come up with the most original way to display outrage, enthusiastically (if not quite grammatically) urging its supporters to "Sail, fly, windsurf with the Close Guantánamo flotilla! This extraordinary journey is a unique opportunity to express your opposition to Guantánamo, will help to pressure the US government to close the camp once and for all. Join us and invite your friends to travel with you to confront injustice!"
For those with limited vacation time, Amnesty suggests: "Say Close Guantánamo on Camera! Vote for your favourite video! …Whether you think the funniest or the most artistic should win, we need an all categories winner! Cast your votes and get a chance to win a Make Some Noise goodie bag. Voting closes 31 January, and the winning video (its prize being wrapped in secrecy, like Guantánamo;) will be announced shortly after."
Who knew that protesting American oppression could be such fun? Evidently, opposing suicide bombings and ritual beheadings is less amusing. I could find no denunciation of such practices on Amnesty's home page. Nor was there any apparent concern for prisoners being held by such Militant Islamist organizations as Hezbollah and Hamas.
Also conspicuous by its absence: A serious discussion of what would happen if Guantánamo were to be closed. Would detainees be released on the battlefields where they had been captured? Or would they be returned to their home countries? What if their home countries were likely to torture or execute them?
In wars, combatants are killed; luckier ones are taken prisoner and held -- not as punishment but to prevent their return to battle. If the combatants are honorable soldiers they are entitled to be regarded as Prisoners of War, with all the rights and privileges that status implies. But the combatants sent to Guantánamo are those who have violated the most basic laws of war, in particular by targeting civilians and by hiding among civilians.
Clifford D. May is the President of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

Summer PD: Five Fundamentals for Creating a Positive Writing Atmosphere
Writers write. They never say they're "going to write." They write here, there, and everywhere. Professional writers usually stick to a schedule. But most writers write when they can, when life doesn't get in the way. Some write on napkins at the local diner or on a receipt using the steering wheel as a desk.
I'm writing part of this blog on my dining room table at 6:45 am, dressed and ready for school; my three-year-old is snoring on the couch in the living room and I'm trying to delay cleaning up the cat puke. That's my usual atmosphere when school is in session. No coffee shop, no fancy den, no oak desk with the dull glow of lamplight, just fifteen minutes to pound the keys.
I've been writing for quite some time so drafting most of my blogs in the shadow of the morning routine is no biggy. However, junior writers need more of an atmosphere to concentrate on the art of writing.
---Barry Lane
1. Set a Time to Write and Stick to It!
Real writing needs real time. Hemingway once said, "Writing is long periods of thinking and short periods of writing." While I don't have the luxury of a regular writing time, our students absolutely need one.
Barry Lane, in his book But How Do You Teach Writing?, calls for a "regular and predictable writing time, which allows students to rehearse what they are going to write about in their heads, hours before it's time to write." Kids need that "heads up" when it comes to writing. Plus, it helps them focus on the events, thoughts, and curiosities in their life about which they can write. This is what Pulitzer Prize winner Don Murray calls "writing before writing."
In plain clothes, "writing before writing" is daydreaming. I spent most of my elementary school days daydreaming about what kind of battle I would create with my Star Wars figures when I got home. Playing with action figures is undoubtedly responsible for my ability to write today. I was writing every day of my life, just not on paper. Just imagine if I had the freedom and the time to write it down. Where would I be today? No matter how you slice it, writing is hard and kids need daily, uninterrupted time to mess up, scribble out, slash ideas, and find gold without the question of ". . . when will I get another chance?"
2. Writers in Spaaaaaace (Announced like "Pigs in Space")
I allow my students to write anywhere in the room their little heart fancies -- on their desk, under their desk, at a free desk/table, on the rug, lying down on the rug, in the corner, on a chair with a clipboard, next to the fish tank -- wherever! However, the key word in this whole paragraph is "write." Wherever they end up, they need to write. If not, students begin to lose mobility privileges. It's important to set precedent early in the year: "You have the freedom to move only if you intend to use your space efficiently." Oh, and I always allow my students to take off their footwear. We release heat from out heads and our feet. It's just a comfort thing (though maybe smelly).
3. Choose Your Tools Wisely
I present my students with a smorgasbord of writing tools in order for them to find comfort, which will promote writing confidence. And we all know what happens when a writer is confident: ***Poof! Super Duper Pow***!
I offer pens, erasable pens, pencils, mechanical pencils -- I honestly don't care what a student chooses as his writing weapon. I'll let a student write in blood if it makes him/her feel comfortable enough to take the risk. At least four different types of lined paper, a journal, blank paper, and a computer are on the menu. However, students do need to prove themselves worthy of using such tools. After observing some drafting, I will encourage (and sometimes require) certain students to use certain tools. It really depends on their fine motor skills and how efficient they are with certain types of lines and/or computers.
Note: Regardless of the tool they use, I heavily discourage students from erasing during the drafting process. We often chant in the beginning of the year, "No braking for erasing! No braking for erasing!" Erasing causes a burp in the thought process. Just keep going, man.
4. Modeling: Set Pure Tone
Jeffrey Wilhelm, professor of English education at Boise State University and the director of the Boise State Writing Project, believes that teachers need to write in order to teach writing. In his interview for the book, Teaching the Neglected "R", he clearly states that it's important for teachers to do the writing assignments they give students and then ask, "Would I do the work I'm asking my students to do?"
I spend a great deal of in-class modeling by writing in my journal or on my computer. This technique is a double-edged sword. It shows that I (teacher) value writing and it controls the sounds volume in the room.
If the idea of a writing workshop is new to your students they will feel a bit weird with the freedoms they just received and will probably . . .
a) talk
b) look for friends to sit next to and talk
c) hide in a corner and . . . you guessed it, talk.
My response? "Excuse me, but I can't concentrate when you're talking." Never fails. If you do this persistently and consistently, it will diffuse the talkers long enough for them to realize that, "Hey, this writing thing isn't so bad," and they'll stop talking because they'll be engaged in the writing process.
5. Embody the Writer's Attitude
I learned to write in my room, not in school. It's not a terrible way to hone your craft, but I often think how my writing life would be different if I had a mentor, a teacher, or a fellow writer as a child (other than my mom). Different, I presume.
My thoughts on how I became a writer resonate with Donald Murray's reflection on his life: "All the qualities that made me weird in my family, in school, on the street corner, the qualities that I usually tried to hide and was often ashamed of, were what made me the writer I am." I want you to remember that, brothers and sisters, the next time you just don't get a student.
I let the reins loose in the name of creative freedom and in the spirit of the education I wish I received. My ideas might not be right for you, but there's one point on which I guarantee we will agree. We both desire to inspire each and every student in our classrooms. We want them to come to the page with confidence, a feeling of ownership, and an attitude that blinks in neon lights: I can do this.
We both want them to want to write, right? What are some of your techniques to foster a writing atmosphere?

Something that I have found helps set a positive tone for writing is emphasizing that writing is a PROCESS. Kids seem to feel a sense of relief when they understand that they can take each writing piece as far as they want, abandon some, come back to some, let some sit for awhile and then take them in a whole new direction. I frequently set aside regular class time for writing, and the assignment is to take at least one (or 4 or 7, whatever is appropriate) writing starts through the whole process of first draft, peer review, edit, second draft, teacher review, edit, publish. When they let go of the idea that writing produces a "good" product that they should be able to complete quickly, they relax into the event of writing. It takes time, but by the end of the school year, almost all of my kids really own their life as a student writer, and some bloom into life writers.
I just wrote a blog reviewing _Independent Writing_ by Colleen Cruz. I think the book reaches those who want to create a true "workshop" experience, but need more guidance as to structure.
Process is very important. However, i do believe students need to find their own process. For example, some students like to talk to me before they begin a first draft. And some like to write two drafts before talking or editing or revising. Yes, process is key.
Also, different types of writing = different process. I like writing chunks of info for a blog or a school paper, then rearranging them in the revision process. If I'm writing fiction I tend to write it all out as fast as I can, then slow down and revise.
Teaching the AP Lang. class requires structure and writing workshop approaches. If more teachers in lower grades implemented these strategies, I could launch into my polishing and rhetorical approaches. Unfortunately, my students are stymied by the opportunity to write and are difficult to motivate until a couple of months into the semester. I only have the one semester to accomplish all that the AP curr. requires. It can be frustrating, but I do what I can. It is encouraging to find other teachers pushing the same approach. Thank you!
I absolutely adore teaching writing! I believe there is a writer in every student just waiting to be prodded into the next Pulitzer Prize Winner. Through the years I have struggled with traditional assessments that have been, at times, required resources that I must use as part of the curriculum. They have not always provided me with the information I was seeking about my students' knowledge and understanding of what good writers do. My question is, how often are other teachers of writing using multiple choice (standard) assessments, and are they assessing more than just concepts of grammar? Do strong examples of these traditional paper/pencil tests exist for writing classes?
I especially agree with pt. 2. I provide lots of clipboards for this. If the space/time is occasionally misused the student might need to spend his/her writing time at their desk. It's rarely abused once the expectation is established and practiced at the beginning of the year.
Mini lessons to introduce craft is also important, again with lots of teacher modeling. Writing is indeed one of my favorite parts of the day. Even emerging writers have something to share which is another important component. Every day there is time to share, even if it's a few sentences. Some students might share using the document camera. They might get in small groups and share or we might get in a writer's circle and share what type of story they are writing.
[quote]I especially agree with it. I provide lots of clipboards for this. If the space/time is occasionally misused the student might need.

Very disappointed in Honda. Always GM cars before. Had front rotors resurfaced. It is still not right. Had problems as dealer wanted to charge for this. Argued and they did not charge. Want to know how often I can expect to have to go through this with the Honda?

I am a Sahm who loves to cook. I am always looking for new meaty protien filled main dishes to cook for my husband, new recipes to try at church potlucks and barbques and have a sweet tooth and love to try new deserts (my daughter loves cake). I live in Germany, so one of my favorite things to do right now is travel and to try all of the different cuisines that are readily available over here. Can't say I have a favorite cookbook, if I need a recipe I come to this website!!
I love to cook anything for my family. I do prefer that prep time is under 30 min. I have a toddler and a newborn, so don't have much more than that to get something ready. My family loves my lasagne and my stepsons love my chicken alfredo. My daughter loves anything Cake!!! I think the restraunt I miss most from back home in Rancho Grande Mexican restraunt in Magnolia, TX. And over here in Germany my favorite 2 are the Greek Restraunt here in town and the Schnitzel house (rumpsteak w/ onions and krauter butter).

Looking at a 7X12 Enclosed trailer. Weighs approximately 2200#. RZR and gear will probably add another 1300# How is the Tacoma going to handle this weight? I look in the "What do you tow thread" and honestly think some of those guys are nuts. Maybe they tow on flat land, but I don't think they would ever make it going up the rim here in Az...........
Anyways, any info you can offer about the V6 Tacoma going up steep inclines with rought 3500# would be great.
PS I know the mileage will suck, its not good even with the utility trailer and toy! I'm not a speed freak, just dont want to kill my truck, regardless of what Toyota says its rated at.

Clearview Film's 8ight tha Sk8 on his approach to making music videos and what's next
Clearview Films has come a long way since filming its first video in 2009. Shooting over 150 videos since its inception, Clearview has been working hard to make a name for itself in the video game. We tapped Antonio Valenzuela, who's worked with Clearview on various projects, to catch up with founder 8ight tha Sk8 for a chat about his approach to making videos, his new movie Grit City and what other projects he has on deck. Keep reading to see what this promising local video director has to say.
See also: Fresh local hip-hop from Atak One, Planes!, Foodchain and Zome of Diamond Boiz
Westword: Where did the name Clearview Films come from?
8ight the Sk8: Originally it was Killabrew Screenworks, and I took a little hiatus and came up with a professional name, Clearview. I ran across it at the job, [and it represents] moving from being ghetto to give more professionalism. Clearview was kind of a double meaning, turn your life around a clear view out of your eyes, and it worked for a film reference, too.
How did you get your start in film?
I do music, as well, so I would always video tape with the camcorder, and I started layering music over the footage with windows movie maker. Then I started rapping my own stuff and synching it with music, but I never had the right equipment. Then I started with a Sony Handycam -- that was the first time we actually got some guys together to do a shoot.
It was called "Slapperino" with Me, Frank Teezzi, Ten Terintino and a guy named Gotti. Around the same time, Youtube, Myspace, and Facebook started popping, and I actually worked on a Julox video called "Nothing to a Boss," and the phone just started ringing. In 2010, I did 26 videos with a flip camera and editing with Adobe Premier Pro. So Now I have done over 150 videos.
What aspect of making music videos do you least enjoy?
The organization by artist, as far as creative sense. If they don't bring a creative sense to the table, its kind of hard for me to work on numerous projects, and I have to come up with a treatment for each one of them. Every once in a while, I'll be feeling a song and come up with a good idea. But if we set up a shoot and you come with nothing to the table, it makes us all look bad. We have to get our creative minds going.
An artist with two or one videos a year should have a creative sense of what they want. That probably happens one out of five times. Scheduling is also hard for people to start and end at a certain time. It's always around this time or that and dealing with so many people from around the city, different backgrounds, it can be an obstacle working with people from different walks of life and balance out the differences.
Do you write story boards, or is most of the shooting impromptu -- or does it depend on the artist?
It depends on the artist. Out of 150, I probably wrote a handful of them. Some videos just go. The visual impact on screen just makes it go easy sometimes. I'll come up with ideas and structure of all of them, but treatments are not really my forte, exactly.

Packard Patrician
The Packard Patrician was an automobile built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, from model years 1951 through the 1956. During its six years in production, the Patrician was built in Packard's Detroit facilities on East Grand Boulevard.
Packard Patrician 400, 1951–1952[edit]

Engine | Packard Straight Eight 327 cu in (5,360 cm3), 150 bhp (112 kW) |

Wheelbase | 3226 mm (127 in) |
Length | 5580 mm (219,70 in) |
Width | 1990 mm (78,3 in) |
Height | 1580 mm (62.2 in) |
In 1951 and 1952, the automaker attempted to use a numeric naming structure that designated Packard's least expensive models as Packard 200 and 200 Deluxe while two-door hardtop and convertibles were designated Packard 250 and its mid-range sedan the Packard 300.
The highest trim level available was the Packard Patrician 400. The Patrician 400 replaced the previous model year's Custom 8 model range. The car was easily identified from other Packards by its chrome trim; in 1951 the model featured three chrome ports on its rear fenders and in 1952 the car featured four chrome ports. Patricians and 300s also sported a slightly revised grille which included chrome "teeth" in its oval area in 1951. That change occurred to the 250 series soon after introduction.
The Patrician 400 was available only as a premium, four-door sedan, outfitted with high-grade upholstery and chrome trimming within. For the 1952 model year, Packard retained the services of noted interior decorator Dorothy Draper to bring a fresh look to the interior color scheme. Wilton carpeting and hassock-style rear passenger foot rests were also included with the car. With a list price of $3,662 it also was the most expensive regular Packard offered. The automobile rode upon a 127-inch (3226 mm) wheelbase shared only with the 300 sedan. All other Packards had a wheelbase of 122 inches (3099 mm).
Power for all Packards still came from their venerable in-line eight-cylinder engines. 200s used a 288 cu in (4,720 cm3) unit with 135 bhp (101 kW); all others had a displacement of 327 cu in (5,360 cm3), delivering 150 bhp (112 kW). The Patrician got the best engine Packard had to offer, too. For unequaled smooth operation, its engine featured nine main bearings instead of five as in the other engines without increase in power.
Until 1954, Henney built a few nine-passenger Executive Sedans and Corporate Limousines on a chassis with 148-inch (3759 mm) wheelbase. Derham in Rosemont built very few Patrician Custom Formal Sedans with leather padded roofs, small backlights and elaborate interiors on the standard Patrician frame.
Introduction of the Patrician was, together with most other Packards (250s were delayed), in August 1950. Production totals for 1951 came to 9,001 Patrician 400 units, and 3,975 units for 1952.
The 400 model name was dropped for model years 1953 and 1954; however the Patrician name continued to occupy the premium trim level Packard from 1953 through 1956.
For model years 1953 and 1954, the Patrician continued to represent Packard's highest trim level sedans and rode on the 127" chassis. The Patrician also was used for the basis of the custom bodied Henney passenger models, including the 149" wheelbase 8 passenger Packard Executive Sedans and Limousines, the difference being that the latter had a partition window between the front and rear compartments. During these years the Patrician received annual trim changes and improvements associated with model-year change-overs in the 1950s.
The Henney professional cars (hearse, ambulance, flower car, service car) built on the 156" wheelbase commercial chassis generally used Patrician-like trim except for 1954, which used Cavalier-like trim. Since the professional cars were fully coachbuilt bodies (not conversions) built on Packard's separate commercial chassis, their trim level had little to do with the Patrician except for the general appearance. The Henney Junior, a short-wheelbase hearse or ambulance was built on the standard Cavalier-Patrician chasses (but with stronger, heavy-duty rear suspension) but had the 5-main bearing Cavalier engine rather than the 9-main bearing engine of the Patrician.
For 1953, the Patrician used the same 327-cubic-inch (5,360 cc) 9-main bearing engine that used for 1951 and 1952 but for the first time added a four barrel carburetor for an increase in power. For 1954, the new 359-cubic-inch (5,880 cc) 9-main bearing, aluminum head 212 hp (158 kW) engine was standard and also featured a 4-brl carburetor. 1954 was the first year to add a start-position to the ignition key - earlier years were started by a switch built into the carburetor which was actuated by depressing the accelerator pedal to the floor.

For 1955, the entire senior line of Packards received an extensive design update that freshened the last restyling that was done in 1951. Under designer Richard A. Teague, the Senior Packards received a more modern grille design, "Cathedral"-styled rear tail lights, hooded headlight housings and a new exterior trim layout that afforded Packard the ability to offer two- and three-tone paint combinations with the simplest of masking patterns. While Packard could not afford a whole new greenhouse for the passenger compartment, new trim at the base of the rear pillar made it look like it had a redesigned roofline. The cars were also outfitted with a wrap-around windshield, thus bringing it in line with American automobiles of the era. Inside, upholstery and bright work was also freshened and the cars received a new dashboard layout faced with a machined-look stainless steel facing.
For 1955, the Patrician was offered as a four-door sedan only and Packard produced 9,127 of the cars.
Changes for 1956 included a revised headlight housing that exaggerated the front peak further forward. The area around the headlight was painted black to give the effect of greater depth. The car also received a different grille texture. During the 1956 model year, 3375 Patricians rolled off Packard's production line before the model was dropped by the ailing carmaker.
The final Packard built (that was a true Packard and not a badge-engineered Studebaker President) was a black Patrician sedan, and it rolled off the Packard assembly line on June 25, 1956.
While Packard's James Nance had hoped to divorce the senior Packard from its lower-priced Clipper models for 1956 and beyond, Studebaker-Packard's Corporate finances were far worse than Nance bargained for following the 1954 merger between the two firms. Because of this, and a failure by American Motors to buy as many Ultramatic transmission units and Packard V-8's as Nance had hoped for, Packard production was eliminated at the firm's Detroit factory and transferred to Studebaker's South Bend complex for the 1957 model year. The sole Packard offered for 1957, a badge-engineered Studebaker President, was designated the Packard Clipper. The final Packard, a car with no series name, rolled off the line in 1958 and Studebaker-Packard's Board removed the "Packard" name from its corporate name in 1962.

Had my PE this weekend. My new doc is actually a long time family friend. I hesitated for years to switch to her because of the relationship with my parents and the fact that our girls go to school together. I finally decided that her being the BEST doc around out weighed anything else.
Good thing I did. Seems I have never had my Vit D tested. At least not in the last few years. She did it. The range of normal is 30-100. I have 13! She wanted me to understand the seriousness of it and pointed out that people who have RICKETS have values starting around 21! Sooooo I am taking a mega does of Vit D once a week for 8 weeks. Um. Not a fun pill. I got sick 8 hours after taking it which means it got into my system which is good. I have also had a headache and I am totally exhausted. I dont know if I can do this for 8 weeks. Maybe rickets are more fun?
So I am working today but my mom took pity on me. and talked me into letting the kids skip school and stay overnight with them since my parents have the day off. This way I could sleep longer and didnt have to do the morning rush with them. It was awesome.
Today Sophia also has another appointment regarding her tics. She now has a little head twitch and a sniffing going on. I am just not loving any of this. She needs more help and this med isnt cutting it. She is doing so well handling it though. She's such a great kid.
Sorry. I will have something fun to say this week. I know it!
Did you eat before taking the vitamin?? I have to eat with vitamins, otherwise I get sick. You need to be well...take them! I hope they can help Sophia...poor thing.
So far, no call, so I guess I WILL be seeing the hand specialist today! I also want to hit Whole Foods and get some organic apples...I have to have the organic, otherwise my throat swells shut. They have the best prices on organics, so off I go!
Nothing much else going on. It's going to be crazy since Scott is in Bermuda all week. I have to make Alyssa suffer and keep trying to get this crazy hairstyle they have to have for their full company dance. Her hair is so fine and has NO body, so it's a real challenge! She hates having her hair pulled, but I keep reminding her that she wanted to compete, so it's part of the process! Hey, I don't like it either, but you do what you've gotta do!
I did take it right after a full dinner. I thought that would do it and it was fine until midnight. My multi vit says it has 400 IU of Vit D for 100% daily allowance. I am taking a prescription Vitamin D that has 50,000 IUs so its a huge difference. I do fine on the usually multi vit so this was surprising. Its only once a week so I guess I will have to suffer it out Saturday and Sunday.
KUP on what the doc says today. Good luck!!
Yikes Sam, glad you had it tested! Good luck with the dose for the next 8 weeks. Glad Sophia is handling it well, she sounds like an amazing kid!
Hope it goes well at the hand specialist today Brandi! Good luck with Alyssa's hair!
Not much going on today. 3 kids this morning playing very well together. Nice and quiet.
I think I caught a flu on Friday night and had it most of the day Saturday too. It sucked. We skipped dance class yesterday morning because we were too swamped with groceries and and skating birthday party. Then I found out the girls missed out on trying on their costumes, wish we would have went!

Wow Sam, nothing like throwing you into a mega dose right away! UGH! I hope it gets better!
Oh Samantha, the costumes are the best part of the whole thing! That stinks you had to miss it!
Well, it's looking like surgery is going to be the only option. :/ I have to have a nerve conduction study done so we have an actual diagnosis, but it looks like I have Cubital Tunnel Syndrome. Basically, the nerve in my elbow that goes into my pinky and ring finger is getting pinched. If I don't have it taken care of, eventually (like years, but still...) I can lose function in those 2 fingers because the nerve will be too damaged. I don't know when I'm going to have this done...not something that's going to be convienent. I may have to look into summer, but I'd like to hold off until the fall. Like I said, it's not convienent losing the use of an arm!!
Thanks sucks Brandi! I've had surgery on both my hands and on my right shoulder, but way before I had kids! I can't imagine. Hope you can plan it so you'll have lots of help! How long will you have to rest your arm for?

UGH that sucks Brandi! I need to go get mine looked at, i'm always going numb in my right fingers - getting old sucks KUP!
Sam - eeeek that sounds harsh! Hope your next dose goes better for ya!
Samantha - love that your ticked moved this week YAHOO!

Sounds like the plot line of a new movie from RZA … via Reuters:
… Read the restA dozen kung fu nuns from an Asian Buddhist order displayed their martial arts prowess to bemused scientists at CERN this week as their spiritual leader explained how their energy was like that of the cosmos.
The nuns, all from the Himalayan region, struck poses of hand-chops, high-kicks and punches on Thursday while touring the research centre where physicists at the frontiers of science are probing the origins of the universe.
"Men and women carry different energy," said His Holiness Gyalwang Drukpa, a monk who ranks only slightly below the Dalai Lama in the global Buddhist hierarchy. "Both male and female energies are needed to better the world."
This, he said, was a scientific principle "as fundamental as the relationship between the sun and the moon" and its importance was similar to that of the particle collisions in CERN's vast "Big Bang" machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Have you all tried cornmeal for ants? Does it work? How long does it usually take, and do you need to keep adding more cornmeal? I have ants in my veggie bed. They may be fire ants (no mound yet, so maybe not, but I don't want them there regardless). Don't want to use my usual boiling water and digging method because that will kill my veggies. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Worry about fire ants. Don't worry about other ants. Any effective pesticide is likely to show up in your veg anyway. Corn meal sounds to me like Ant-ish for "dinner". Dennis |
According to those that espouse using corn meal, or grits, to help control ants the ants eat the meal and then drink something which causes the meal inside them to swell up and the ants then explode. For those that do not grasp the role ants play in our world that may sound pretty good but it simply does not happen. This is one of the many myths about ant control out there. Texas A & M has done much research on fire ants and about every web site out there about fire ants uses the information they have developed. |

Helen Suzman
"Helen Suzman"
Helen Suzman, one of the leading white South African opponents of apartheid, has died:
After entering politics in 1953, Suzman became a lawmaker for the United Party, which split six years later over disagreements on racial issues. Suzman and 11 other MPs left to form the Progressive Party, which rejected the white-minority Nationalist government's racist policies and supported equal rights. […]
From 1961 until 1974, Suzman was "the only MP who consistently and unequivocally opposed discriminatory legislation and the spate of security laws that left the rule of law in tatters," according to the HSF Web site.
Suzman's criticism of Pieter Willem Botha, who served as prime minister and president from 1978 to 1989, led him to describe her as "a vicious little cat," HSF said. Botha was the last hard-line apartheid leader who upheld strict policies of racial desegregation. Suzman described him as "an obnoxious bully."
Once in parliament, a minister accused her of asking questions that embarrassed the country and she replied "It is not my questions that embarrass South Africa, it is your answers." A worthy motto for dissidents and question-askers everywhere. Meanwhile, it doesn't really make a ton of sense but I'm always heartened by the fact that Jewish South Africans such as Suzman were disproportionately represented in the anti-apartheid movement.

Kevin Smith has spoken exclusively to Total Film about his upcoming horror flick
Red State
As part of our celebration of all things American in the latest issue, we met up with the indie auteur to talk about his current project.
Red State
is set to give the horror genre a thorough shake-up, casting fundamentalist religious crackpots as the truly terrifying villains.
Smith is certain that it isn't going to make for easy viewing, telling us: "The movie fucks with you."
He explains: "It demands a lot of its audience. It doesn't let you go in easy and be like, 'This'll be fun!' It actually engages your brain and makes you question your beliefs and go, 'Oh God, I'm sympathising with people I shouldn't!'"
So why the shift in gear? "I'm trying to make art films again. It's what I came in to filmmaking to try to do. I wanted to make all kinds of flicks, not just comedies.
"I focused on comedy because I seemed to be OK at it, but there was always a part of me that wanted to try something else."
Red State
opens in the US on 19 October 2011.

Does anyone know of a website (or other source)that has a comprehensive list or search function for plants native to Michigan or the Midwest.
I've made dozens of trips to the nurseries in the mood to buy, but can't remember the 20 or so plants I know are natives. I've come home empty handed more often than not. I want a simple list of 100+ natives that I can put in my purse. I don't want to have to sort through thousands and thousands of alien plants looking for the occasional native. Thanks for the suggested sources. Squirrel Girl |

Yes. You can search for plants native to a state at the USDA plants site. Over on the left-hand side, click on "state search." |

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Those sites are exactly what I needed. Now I can day dream through the winter what to plant in my beds this spring. (I have a few that I purchased yesterday that I can put in one night this week). squirrel girl |
Squirrel Girl, Have you checked out the wintersowing forum? Native plants are ideal for growing using the wintersowing method. You can get a huge variety and tons of plants for a fraction of the cost by starting them from seed. The people over there are also very generous with their seeds. In fact, if you know what you're interested in , I could probably provide you with a decent start. I've been growing natives in Michigan for a few years and my sister has been at it even longer. So, together we have a modest native seed collection available. Good luck. Martha |

Taiwan president-elect's bold mandate: improve ties with China, U.S.
Ma Ying-jeou, a former mayor of Taipei and Harvard Law School graduate, may face resistance to his conciliatory approach.
Vincent Yu/AP
Voters in Taiwan handed opposition candidate Ma Ying-jeou a landslide victory in Saturday's presidential election, raising hopes of détente with China after eight years of pro-independence brinksmanship that strained ties with the US.
The result was a rebuke to President Chen Shui-bian, whose candidate, Frank Hsieh, lost by 2 million votes out of 13.2 million cast. Analysts said it signaled a prioritizing of economic interests over ethnic identity and the anti-China rhetoric of Mr. Chen's ailing party, which also lost heavily in January's legislative elections.
"Taiwan should be united without using ethnicity as an issue for political purposes... I will be symbol of national unity, not a source of social division," said Mr. Ma at a victory press conference, taking a swipe at the opposition Democratic Progressive Party's (DDP) campaign ads that highlighted his roots on the mainland, in contrast to Taiwanese-born opponents.

I've read lots of pro/con arguments about Persil vs less expensive detergents like Tide. Mostly they concern quality of results. I wanted to know if there's any reason to believe that Persil powder is better for the FL machine than Tide powder. Will it help the spider or other parts last longer? That's the only reason I would buy it, as I don't mind regular detergent scents and I'm not allergic to the ingredients. |

Persil is the flagship laundry detergent of Henkel, the largest soap/detergent company in Germany. Tide is the flagship laundry detergent of Procter & Gamble, the largest soap/detergent company in the United States. Procter & Gamble and Henkel both spend a lot of money and time in making their products fit the marketplace and on advertising to compete against Unilever, Colgate, Sun Products, et al. The formulations of both Persil and Tide are constantly tweaked and in all probability slightly different formulations are made to cater to different tastes and water qualities n the various regions where Tide and Persil are marketed. Just as some people prefer Crest toothpaste to Colgate toothpaste, some people prefer Persil to Tide. Others prefer specialty brands from "boutique" companies like Vaska, BioKleen, or Ecover. No brand of detergent is best for every consumer. Specifically, will using Persil instead of Tide prolong the useful lifetime of your washing machine? By the time controlled testing could be performed over the relevant test period of the lifetimes of individual washing machines in a test group, the formulations of the current versions both Tide and Persil at the end of the test will have evolved to something different than the formulations on the market at the beginning of the test. So we shall never know. Sorry that I am unable to provide a more definitive answer. |

Well, I've used ordinary Cheer powder in my Euro front loaders (Askos and Miele) for nearly a quarter century. All spiders fine (indeed all machines are fine). My machines are all older models that heat water to nearly boiling and I do wash some loads at high temps every week, and most loads at what would be consider "hot" (140 F) by modern standards. Do I also use Persil? Ooccasionally, along with other special purpose detergents for special purposes. The only Persil product I use with any regularlity is Perwol powder on woolens (blankets, mattress pads, etc.) I use Eucalan on knitted wool (sweaters, hats, mittens) as I find Perwol promotes felting in the Mieles (but not the Askos), but Eucalan does not. (In general I find the agitation patterns, spin speeds and water levels in the Askos better than the Mieles for knitted woolens.) I wouldn't put Tide in my washers as I hate the smell (even of the unscented var.) Cheer powder just works for me. I don't use any fabric softener, ever, nor any liquid detergent beyond the few specialty ones for down, silk and Eucalan for sweaters. I also use very little, about 2 TABLESPOONS, of powder per load. The cup-sized scoops baffle me. L. |

Fighting a tea party movement that helped turn a majority of Republican county chairmen against him, Lugar has found himself needing to defend not just his beliefs, but also his legislative strategy, especially his willingness to go along with President Obama's US Supreme Court nominees and the Democrats' DREAM Act for the children of illegal immigrants.
That shift was hastened as Mourdock's tea party ground game was joined by outsider groups and political-action committees such as the antitax Club for Growth, FreedomWorks, and the National Rifle Association, leaving Lugar spokesman Andy Fisher to note that Indiana has become "the last playground for these national groups." The Club for Growth endorsement in February was "the best valentine I ever got," Mourdock says.
"Some persons within our party who say, my way or the highway – they really are less interested, in my judgment, in whether Republicans have a majority in the Senate or the House, than that there be a certain standard in close purity among those who are there," Lugar recently told Gwen Ifill of the "PBS NewsHour." "They do not feel that people ought to work with Democrats across the aisle. Compromise is a bad word."
