This article was first published in the September UK edition of Accounting and Business magazine.
Here's a secret I will share: people who work in financial services are motivated to join the sector by the prospect of earning good money. Shocking, eh? In an employee attitude survey conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, salary was the most commonly identified factor that attracted City workers: followed closely, it should be said, by career opportunities and then challenging and interesting work. Enough employees also mentioned the benefits package and annual bonus to make it noteworthy for the CIPD's researchers.
The money clearly makes up for other deficiencies; that standard dinner-party question, 'so what do you do?' has only one in three City workers proudly proclaiming they work – metaphorically at least – in the Square Mile. For the two-thirds majority, the reason for their social shame is driven by the way that the City culture incentivises inappropriate behaviour and that the pay cheques are still just too big.
The pressure is on the City to drive forward a range of reforms on corporate governance – not only from its own employees but from the public and politicians – but the pace of progress appears to be somewhere between glacial and non-existent.
The MPs on the Business, Innovation & Skills Committee recently voiced fears that the year-old Kay report – which was focused on creating measures to bring long-term thinking in equity markets – was going nowhere. They called for a clear, measurable and achievable target for implementation. But their analysis was disputed by both the government and the Association of British Insurers – whose members control about a fifth of the UK stock market – who sought to reassure. Plans for an Investor Forum to improve shareholder/company dialogue and reforms of the Stewardship Code, as well as improving the alignment between pay and performance, were all well in hand.
We are used to hearing from City bosses, but less so from the voice of the rank and file of financial services workers. Their perceptions of what is happening in their industry suggest that they are with the MPs in thinking that more work is required to rebuild trust and readjust priorities. The CIPD found that fewer than half of respondents rank customers as their organisation's most important stakeholder, while a third consider shareholders to be their number-one priority.
City workers acknowledge that there are cultural change initiatives under way led by senior executives. However, fewer than a fifth think these initiatives have been effective in leading to real change; the rest suggest that the attempts have been superficial, or only moderately so. That should be counted as good news that some parts of the banking sector are having at least partial success in changing the culture to become more customer-focused and more responsive to the views of society as a whole. In some parts of the City organisational values are strong, and are reinforced through practices such as staff appraisals and performance reviews.
However, it is clear that other parts of the industry are largely operating as they were before the financial crash and the massive government bailouts. Values continue to be ignored, with management failing to bring to book those who flout the stated values and even rewarding them for doing so through promotions and handsome rewards.
It is really difficult to enforce cultural change in an organisation if its leaders neither want it nor see the need to do so. And that is why financial services remains a sector under fire, with critics arguing that it has only just started on a journey of fundamental culture change. Those critics want the City to earn their high rewards by becoming focused on creating long-term value for the customer and society. They will struggle to get their way; for some, being consistently profit-focused and resolutely short term is the only long-term game in town.

Ethanol Co-Products Used For Livestock Feed
NASS collaborated with the Nebraska Corn Development, Utilization & Marketing Board, an agency of the State of Nebraska, to conduct a survey of livestock producers in 12 Midwestern States to determine current usage of distillers grains, essential feed characteristics and concerns keeping producers from using distillers grains. The probability based survey contacted approximately 9,400 operations comprised of beef (cow/calf and feedlot), dairy, and swine species. The study included North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois with a reference data of calendar year 2006. The National Agricultural Statistics Service is publishing the results at the region level, combining all states surveyed for each of the four livestock species. Most of the estimates are proportions or percentages which allow for statistical comparisons among operations not feeding distillers grains. Publication Dates: Jun 29, 2007 To

Shaped Mail and Personalization Increase Direct Mail Response Rates
November 7, 2011Some recent success stories include:
• When Diana Aguirre Martinez decided to use a shaped direct mailpiece to invite patrons to a historical preservation celebration, she anticipated a typical response. What she didn't expect was that she would hear from 88 percent of those invited—a phenomenal response in any direct marketing campaign.
Martinez works as the development director for Old Spanish Missions, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the four 300-year old Spanish missions, including the well known Alamo, in San Antonio, TX. The invitation, which was personalized for each addressee and featured one of the four historic San Antonio missions, has been credited not only with encouraging a huge turn-out for their event, but also for helping to increase awareness of the non-profit's efforts to raise more than $15 million in a recent successful capital campaign.
• The Los Angeles Federal Credit Union (LAFCU) has completed two recent campaigns with ThinkShapes, mailing approximately 7,000 pieces each time and two more campaigns are ready to drop. Christina Balbirnie of the LAFCU marketing department says they like shaped mail because it's fun and it gets attention.
"When people get mail in their mailbox that is shaped differently and that is personalized for them, they take the time to look at it. As a busy marketing department, you also can't discount the fact that ThinkShapes is a digital printer that can work with us even when we have last minute changes and still meet the deadlines. It's the complete package," Balbirnie says.
ThinkShapes owners Karen and Jim O'Brien say business is booming, thanks in large part to postal regulations that allow for custom shaped mail in sizes as large as 12" x 15" to be delivered to mailboxes without envelopes. The company also credits its success to a focus on customer service, often meeting seemingly impossible deadlines.
"What marketers are finding is that, while email marketing and web-based campaigns have become a focus for many, it leaves room for direct mail to make an impact. When direct mail is creatively produced, personalized, and is designed as part of an integrated marketing program, response rates are typically double or triple an average campaign," says Karen O'Brien.

Nationals Park
Attendance: 23,215
Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Washington left-hander Ross Detwiler outdueled Chicago's Jeff Samardzija, and the NL East-leading Nationals clinched the franchise's first winning season since 2003 by edging the Chicago Cubs, 2-1, in the opener of a four-game set.
Detwiler (9-6) scattered four hits and three walks over seven scoreless innings, while an Adam LaRoche solo home run was among the seven hits given up by Samardzija (8-13) over his seven frames of work.
"He missed his spot with me and I put the bat on it," LaRoche said.
Jeff Beliveau replaced Samardzija to begin the eighth and Bryce Harper greeted him with a leadoff single before scoring on a Ryan Zimmerman double into the left-field corner.
The run proved to be the difference in the game after Tyler Clippard gave up an RBI base hit to Welington Castillo with two outs in the ninth, the Cubs' lone hit with a runner in scoring position.
Castillo drove in Anthony Rizzo, who had led off with a single and advanced to second base on defensive indifference. Tony Campana, the pinch runner, then moved into scoring position on a botched pickoff attempt, but Clippard struck out Josh Vitters to earn his 30th save.
"Anytime you can play first place teams, the games mean a lot and they're fun games," Samardzija said.

In case anyone is wondering, I emailed Bluestar today and they told me they are taking orders for the 36" Platinum Series range and will start shipping at the end of the month. |

How does this compare to capital culinarian? I was strongly leaning towards Capital but this one looks great too! |
Two features decided me on the CC. One was the rotisserie, which I really wanted and will use frequently. Also, do Blue Star ranges offer self-clean ovens? I think they still do not. There are several threads here about this. For many, it is not an issue. |
Here is a link that might be useful: One thread about cleaning Blue Star ovens
Not sure about the Platinum but I was comparing gas ranges a while back (ended up going with induction) and the build quality of the CC seemed much better than the RNB. |
I was all set on CC until I saw the Platinum has the interchangeable grill/griddle with a regular burner. This way you can have 6 burners should you need them. The idea of the CC rotiserrie was very appealing but for my style of cooking, the interchangeable grill/griddle would get way more use. I can't remember the last time I actually cleaned my oven so self cleaning won't be missed. :-O |

This is not a hit at BS...... but I do question the difference between a Grill / Griddle plate over two burners vs the interchangeable Grill / griddle plate that BS offers on the new Platinum Range. Maybe buying a dedicated 6 burner would be less expensive and yet still achieve the same results the interchangeable would do. Seems to me that the dedicated Grill or griddle on the RNB would work better for grilling or griddle cooking. As I said this is not a hit at BS, so please don't read it that way. |
I understand the relative usefulness of a grill/griddle over a rotisserie! I just bought a Chef King griddle and have used it frequently on two burners of my new CC, but I have not yet used the rotisserie. I can't figure out a way to grill over the open burners :-) , but they work wonderfully on this very heavy 23" x 14" griddle. An open burner grill would be a delight, I must admit. I think I could have had one with a 36" CC (and a griddle to use over it), but it would have been a dedicated area, not convertible to regular burners. Let us know what you decide and how well it works for you. |
hey trevlor. i think the interchangeable grill/gridder would be better than a dedicated unit, as least as it relates to the grill. the dedicated BS grill is only 15K BTU. that's not particularly high for grilling. my friend has a 6 burner model with the grill and kinda regrets getting it. he says, and i can verify as i've also grilled on his range, that it doesn't give you the good, hot sear on a steak you'd get with a more powerful (or outdoor) grill. the interchangeable grill, i think (although have no personal experience with), should work better, since it could straddle two 25K burners, giving you 50k btu's to grill on. that's hotter than even the msot powerful outdoor models....at least in theory. in practice, we'll have to wait for others who have the platinum to chime in on their experiences. as to the griddle, which on the BS is also 15K, the dedicated unit should be fine. and there are many forum members who are thrilled with their griddle performance. you don't really need or want anything hotter than that for griddling, as things will burn too fast. if you used the interchangealbe item for griddling, even over the 2 25K burners, you could always just turn the heat down to achieve a nice even flame similar to what you'd get with the dedicated 15K model. |
Unfortunately, I won't be buying anything soon... I am several years from any kitchen remodel. :-( I'm definitely interested in this interchangeable grill/griddle with regular burners so I'll be watching for reviews. |
I wonder if the Blue Star grill/griddle can be used on a Capital. I would LOVE a way to get direct burner heat on meat (no griddle in between, just a grill) with the Capital range top. I did just read that the grill/griddle will work with at least some of the older BlueStars. Just remove two grates and set it in! Oh, I hope this works with the Capital. Somewhere I saw a third party device that made this work. Don't know how much the same burner heights and such may be in the two makes. Anybody know? |

Well... I took a look at the Blue Star RNB range yesterday. I tell you I wasn't impressed with the fit/finish of this unit. It is quite utilitarian looking. I haven't seen a Culinarian in person yet but at least on digital film, the Culinarian seems so much prettier. I wonder if we can ask Capital Cooking to looking to also providing the interchangeable grill/griddle with regular burners to keep up with the competition?? |
Dorys Trevor Lawson would probably know if this is being considered. It would be nice, wouldn't it! |
Yes, I think the CC with an interchangeable grill/griddle, rotisserie and self cleaning would be perfection. :-) |
- Posted by trevorlawson (My Page) on Sat, Aug 23, 14 at 14:14
Bellsmom... I don't think Capital would consider the interchangeable option. So far as I know they will stick to the dedicated units that offer the same as BS's RNB. I understand they are of the opinion Interchangeable units create hot spots due to burner head locations / heat sauce. |
Trevor Do you think there is a chance that the BlueStar grill could be used on a Capital? Without damage to the Capital, of course? Might be interesting to try one. Depending on the $$ of course. Dorys, |
Bellsmom, I may have to get one of those Chef Kings for my measly GE gas range. |
Dorys, I think it would work fine. I never turn my burners on high for it. Medium to heat it up, then medium to sometimes low as I sear or grill. Tonight I called DH in to look out the door onto the deck where the exhaust was blowing as I seared four pounds of cubed pork about one pound at a time before putting it into a slow cooker. The griddle was on medium to slightly below. I had about one pound of cubed pork on it. The cubes were searing in about 30 seconds to a minute a side. The smoke rolled out of the house, visibly across the deck outside, and still visibly fell down below the deck and the walk out level below to roll across the park beyond. Be sure you have a good exhaust. I think you will have plenty of heat for almost anything. And I think you will love it. |
My husband and I are planning our complete kitchen remodel right now. We've decided on a BS 36" Platinum (in Jet Black) after seeing a 48" all stainless in a local showroom and playing with it. We liked everythng about it and thought it would suit our needs better than other brands we had seen. (We have not seen a CC, however, so I cannot compare.) My husband is the main cook and he loves the open burner styling. It was the interchangeable grill/griddle/burner that sold the Platinum line to me. I emailed BS last week asking for specs on the 36" Platinum to give to my GC. I got them yesterday. We should be placing our order within the next two weeks. BS said they were running about 4 weeks out plus shipping time. Having the front painted will likely increase the time until delivery by 1-2 weeks but it's worth it IMHO to get the look we're going for. |

PE: Daily Deviations and Descriptions!Hello and welcome everyone! :iconmoewinkplz:In recent years the question regarding Daily Deviations and Descriptions has been brought up many times. Should DDs include a little description about why they were chosen? Should they be blank so as to let people find out their own reasons for enjoying the featured pieces...? Today we will take a look at the different perspectives on this subject! From community members to community volunteers, let's hear what they have to say! Daily Deviations: To include or not to include descriptions :iconkarinwhatplz: Descriptions or write-ups often include the reasons why said Daily Deviation was chosen, highlighting details that might go unnoticed or expressing the suggester and/or the CVs feelings towards the piece in question. Including a descripion or not is up to each individual CV. Ones prefer writing something for it, others don't. In the end it's just a matter of preference!I made a poll asking the community what they th

PE: Fan Art vs Original ArtFan Art vs. Manga & Anime: The differencesMany people have come to me in the past with questions regarding whether their work qualified as Manga & Anime or Fan Art, same happened with many Daily Deviations that were placed in the M&A gallery when they should have been submitted to the Fan Art Gallery, oops!Do you have doubts regarding the submission process? Wonder no more, we'll unveil all the mysteries surrounding the categories! :iconokie2plz: The basicsFan art includes those artworks that are based on or contain material such as characters, settings, concepts or universes in general that are copyrighted to someone else other than the artist creating said Fan artwork.Manga and Anime art, on the other hand, is home for all the artworks that artists have created from scratch and are not related to any preexisting universe nor contain any copyrighted material.

Bring Your Type to Life - A Typography ContestIt is time for another Typography contest! The theme of this contest will be…Bring your Type to LifeThis may sound abstract at first, but to keep the theme as open as possible, I choose a rather abstract title. There are many directions in which you can go. You could choose an anthropomorphic direction, where you breathe life into letters and give them human or other animate characteristics. Another route would be to create the letters out of living objects, such as plants or animals.Which direction you choose, maybe even a third or fourth one, does not matter. What matters is that your letters are brought to life!What kind of letters you bring to life, words, glyphs or sentences, is 100% up to you. This contest has a more visual approach, so you will not be judged on the creativity of the meaning you choose to give to the letters. However, don't rush it! Even one letter can appear completely different than another. Be wise with the letters, word

BOSTON – After his campaign speech at Oyster River High School in Durham, N.H., this afternoon, President Obama made a surprise stop for ice cream at the University of New Hampshire Dairy Bar. He mingled with patrons in the shop and wished happy birthday to one woman's young child.
The president also offered to pay for anyone's ice cream who hadn't ordered yet, joking that it was legal for him to do so even though he said he couldn't if they were outside a polling place.
The president then ordered ice cream for his staff, teasing White House press secretary Jay Carney for having a very large appetite. "Have you guys ever seen Carney eat? It's unbelievable," he said.
Obama ordered Carney a banana split and a hot fudge sundae for himself.
One woman asked, "Mr. President, how do you keep your waistline?"
"I don't have them that often," Obama replied.
Obama also joked that "this is legal. I could not do this in front of a polling place."

Subaru Forester (up to 2005)
rsholland Posts: 19,741a question for you:
When I test drove a new XS yesterday, I had trouble figuring out the "auto" climate control. Can you "manually," without using the "auto" function, control either fresh air or air conditioning? From what I saw, it seemed like you had to have it on "auto" to get it to work. Am I wrong (I hope am!)? I couldn't figure out how to get fresh air, without having the AC on.
Bob -
gregorear Posts: 5Comments for the Subaru team:
I didn't notice any real difference in the driving (perhaps a little more hesitation than the 2002?). It was 90 degrees, and the demo model's AC wasn't working (Java Black!), so we had all the windows down and the roof open all the way. Boy was it windy! Also, the infamous "check engine" light was flashing.
I wish there was an "adult override" on the rear windows so I could put them down all the way if I want. It's silly to have them permanently in "kid mode". Can I take apart the doors and remove something so they go all the way?
Why, oh why, on a left-hand-drive vehicle is the gas filler on the right? If I buy one of these, I'm going to be cringing every time I fill up, that I don't scrape the right side of the car. I've been driving my Accord for 13 years, and know EXACTLY how big it is, but even so, the filler is on the left where I can see it.
I think the monotone paint looks boring. While I like the features of the upper-end model, I like the two-tone and color options on the lower end model. Why only red, white, black, silver, and that icky gold? Why not blue and green as well? Seems kind of dumb to limit the customer's paint choices. Are they available as a custom order? I also think the body cladding would give me less heartache when I get my first ding. Or maybe I'll just have to spring for all the protection groups. -

scirocco22 Posts: 721Synthia-- Most of us know that Edmunds has the most accurate figures for reporting invoice prices but they do not yet have their information pages up yet for the 2003 Forester.
The only place so far that I've been able to find invoice pricing for the 2003 Forester is carsdirect.com. (www.carsdirect.com) It also has the most detailed spec. sheet of any site that I've found on the internet so far. Click ...don't know if that link will work or not but you can navigate to it once on the site. Crew members: can any of you confirm that those specifications are accurate? Beware: all the pics that carsdirect are using are of the 2002 model but their configuration pages seem to reflect the 2003 specifications.

marcob Posts: 2Hi,
I posted this question awhile back, but didn't get a response. Maybe no one else has this problem or minds it. Anyway, thought I'd try again...
We have a silver '01 Forester which we still love. The only thing I don't like about it (and most other vehicles with a rear wiper) is the dark streak that runs down the tailgate from the base of the wiper arm. Any suggestions for prevention? Is there anything we can put on the rubber? It really looks ugly against the otherwise sharp-looking silver.
Sandra -
scirocco22 Posts: 721Sandra-- I've noticed the streak too (I have silver also) but I don't really think there's anything we can do about it. It appears that it's coming from the residual dirt that's being wiped off the glass as the wiper sweeps across the window and comes to a rest at the bottom. The only solution I can think of --which I don't really know would be effective or not-- is to intsall the rear window deflector. I'd assume that it would keep the window cleaner thereby leaving less residual dirt to leave a streak.
In the 4Runner I once had, the rear wiper was top mounted and it left the same streak only on the glass of the rear window instead of the body of the tailgate. When it dried, it left an ugly streak on the rear window that was distracting to look at when viewing out the back. I prefer the clean swipe of the bottom mounted wiper which the Forester has to the top mounted wiper arrangement.
--'rocco -
kowski Posts: 6I have noticed that a few of you have posted a problem with the check engine light. Is this a problem with the Foresters? Also about invoice price guides for the 03 Foresters. I loged on to the Kiplinger site and they had 03 invoice prices. Not sure how accurete they are but this might help.
hypov Posts: 3,068I've not paid attention to the Forester's rear wipers, so...
Question: When the wiper comes to rest (stop), is it resting horizontally or at an angle?
I have an OB, its rear wiper comes to rest horizontal and no streaks.
p/s Scirocco- I see you'd learnt something new
e-mail me a lesson on it -
luvacat Posts: 2I recently posted in reference to a problem I was having with my 99 Forester L brakes. After having the dealer inspect the Forester twice, I was told that the loud squealing was "normal". I finally took the vehicle to our local mechanic and the front left brake pad was worn to nothing, (this at 30,000 miles). He also was quite honest with me about other problems he had encountered with Foresters including a problem keeping them aligned causing cupped tires. Apparently, they are not the easiest vehicles to repair or to obtain parts for. I have no faith in the Subaru dealer so I decided to trade the car in. I had previously driven a 1990 Integra (purchased new) so maybe that was alot to live up to, but I was disappointed overall with the Forester. It always made strange humming noises and the a/c was adequate at best. I'm happy for all of you who have had good experiences, wish I could say the same. And to Gregorear, you're right, the gas cap is on the wrong side of the car - I never could get used to that!!!
scirocco22 Posts: 721Nancy-- gee, that's too bad you had such a bad experience with the Forester. I have a 2002 and haven't heard that many problems with brakes, alignment, a/c or hard to find parts. I hope they had those things (as well as the wheel the bearing problems) straightened out by the time they started manufacturing the 2002 model. Better luck with your Civic!
Dave-- The rear wiper comes to a rest almost horizontally ...not quite but almost. It's just a very slight angle from totally horizontal. And ...um, I think I know what you are talking about. The server for my main email account is down right now but I'll email you when it's back online.
kowski-- I've never had a check engine light on my Forester yet. I had one on my Audi which went away after several driving cycles but it turned out to be a loose spark plug wire when the error code was diagnosed. And I went the the Kiplinger site and couldn't find the invoice prices for the '03 Forester. All I could find is the base MSRP figures. Do you have a link? The only site I can find so far is www.carsdirect.com that has the invoice figures for the '03.
Gas cap location: I really don't mind it on the right side ...at least they give you a little arrow in the instrument cluster to tell you which sides it's on. *winks* I guess it's because both of my current cars have it on the right side. At one time I had two cars, one of which had it on the right and the other on the left ...that got kind of confusing because I had to remember which car I was driving. *lol*
So Greg-- Why do you have to get so close to the pump that you'll scrape something?
--'rocco -
john385 Posts: 8While refueling at NJ turnpike, the waitingline for cars with cap on the right side is five times as long as the line my car sits in--no waiting! It is like driving with EZ pass! you go figure.
Did you buy the forester with a lot of miles (>50) for a new car?
Best luck with civic, what an econo box with too many things right! -
scirocco22 Posts: 721
dt63944 Posts: 66The reason for the flashing CEL was probably that the pre-delivery inspection wasn't done yet; I believe they flash from the factory until reset after inspection.
I don't believe the rear windows were ever designed to go down all the way; did you take the time to actually look at the glass and notice that it cannot go down all the way?
I believe the AC wasn't working because, again, the pre-delivery work wasn't yet done.
Was the comment "boy was it windy" meant to be a complaint? All cars, with their windows open, will be windy - it's by design.
Your comment "Seems kind of dumb to limit the customer's paint choices."; if you can tell me of a vehicle that doesn't limit the customer's choices, I'm sure we'd all like to know! I do prefer the two-tone to the monochrome, though.
About the filler cap; are you saying that you can see the cap in your side-view mirror? If so, your mirror is not adjusted for a safe view of traffic, which is more important than being able to see the filler cap.
As to your comment "I also think the body cladding would give me less heartache when I get my first ding. Or maybe I'll just have to spring for all the protection groups.". By "body cladding", do you mean the silver lower body color on the two-tone paint job? It will get nicked the same as the mono paint job. As for the protection groups, I don't know what you're referring to.
I'm just about to take delivery of my second Forester, an 03 XS Premium (my first being a 99 S), so I guess it's obvious I like the Forester very much, but to each his own - that's why there are so many different vehicles out there! Good luck on whatever you decide. -

Just saw an unmarked Forester GT (the turbo version sold here in Australia) with flashing blue and red lights. Spoilt someone's trip home. They are popular with the police here, particularly in rural areas but this is the first time I have seen one being used around the city.

rsholland Posts: 19,741I've felt for a long time that Subarus would make excellent police cars. I think some are used in the mountain areas of our country, and there was a WRX police car (that I posted some time ago) that was being used by the Canadian Mounties.
However, I think our police, specifically the State Police who patrol the open highways, are really missing out by not at least giving Subaru a try.

scirocco22 Posts: 721Synthia and Greg, et al-- Thanks to kowski, I've just checked out the Kiplinger site and it appears up-to-date and accurate concerning invoice price and MSRP of the 2003 Forester. The Kiplinger's stated invoice price appears to be the true/standard dealer invoice price similar to how Edmunds would report on its calculator. Carsdirect tacks on an estimated figure for advertsing fees, etc. so you have to keep subtracting that figure out of the mix when configuring options ...in the case of the Forester, $190. So use Kiplinger's site for a "pure" calculation. It's extremely easy to navigate and includes all options on one page giving both invoice price and MSRP for each option. It also updates itself with each option selected.
The Kiplinger site also includes an extensive (and I assume accurate) spec. page. although it leaves out details such as approach angle, departure angle and ramp brakover angle such as the carsdirect page that I sited above.
Bob-- did you check out the link I sited on post #6249? ...just curious about its accuracy. Again, the picture is of a 2002 but the page is titled for the 2003 X.

scirocco22 Posts: 721Steve-- Subaru.com has finally updated their website to reflect the 2003 Forester information. I just sent in the form you provided a link for in order for Edmunds to update their Forester information. Can you do anymore prodding? I have friends asking me which site is the best to do research on the new Forester. Normally I'd say Edmunds without hesitation but I can't do that right now.

rsunico Posts: 82Has anyone else gotten the letter from Subaru to bring your car (2000-2002 2.5l) to the dealer to have the Engine Control Module reprogrammed? What gives.. I've never had the CEL flash on my car.
Also, my car has stalled twice in the past month. Symptons: after hard rain. Start car. Car starts right up with no problems. Then dies. Have to restart -- starts right up again. Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks -
burnsmr4 Posts: 318If someone will explain, in detail, what I need to do to reset my ECU on my AT 2002 Forester S, I'll be a guinea pig for solving the occasional near-stall and odd transmission hiccups.
On a lighter note, I put about 800 miles on my Forester this weekend during a trip to the beach. The sway bars (???) still are creaking, as I've not had a chance to grease them up. It wasn't bad, but it sure makes the car sound like something underneath is worn out. My next oil change is in about 1000 miles (about 1.5 weeks), and I intend to have the dealership check/lube everything possible underneath.
Anyway...tell me what I need to do/have on hand to reset that ECU. I don't have a working relationship with my car battery. Time to start, I suppose. ;-)
P.S. - What happens to my remote keyless entry if I do this? -
qmarker Posts: 20More than a week ago, I did write Edmunds an email asking about a 2003 Forester update. They answered by saying they update mid-year vehicles in June/July. They did say they update "specific" vehicles such as the Cadillac CTS when info is available?
It did not make a lot of sense to me and I am not looking for a Cadillac, I already have one.

Donna-- They're gonna be missing the boat if they wait that long to update their Forester pages! *sheesh* I mean, where am I going to refer people that ask me where the best place on the web is to research Foresters? I'm always in the habit of saying "Edmunds!" but I guess they're losing their premier status!?

After months of preparation, and with a curious community ready for the doors to unlock, FlipSide — a new multi-dimensional family entertainment center in south Gilbert — recently welcomed crowds of fun-hungry visitors inside a full three weeks before the facility's official grand opening.
"We don't take ourselves too seriously," said Ryan Owens, who owns FlipSide with partner Nathan Crane. "We try not to be too cheesy."
Located in a former Basha's grocery store location at Val Vista Drive and Queen Creek Road,FlipSide incorporates laser tag, a bowling alley, bumper cars, mini-bowling, billiards, an arcade, café and more into one location.
While the games and activities are the centerpiece, the cafe, Crane promised, will be better than your typical bowling alley food. The cafe won't necessarily be ready by the official Feb. 9 grand opening celebration, but the rest of the facility is already up and running afte a Jan. 18 "silent opening."
The entertainment center brought in hundreds of guests last weekend, Owens said, and so far — as expected — Friday and Saturday have been the busiest days.
"We have seven or eight birthday packages planned for Saturday," he said prior to yesterday's projected rush of customers.
The location is designed for kids of all ages, Owen said, and in keeping with the goal of creating a family-friendly atmosphere, it will not serve alcohol.
They describe the multi-entertainment center as a "28-bowling-lane, five-dozen-arcade-game, car-bumping, billiard-ball-flying, foam-ball-gun-firing, laser-filled maze, restaurant on the edge of an alternate universe portal" on its website.
"We don't have a hard gate at the front," Owens said. "Our customers can tailor the experience to what they want," Owens said.
Customers can purchase passes for individual attractions, incremental passes for arcade games or bowling by the lane or hour, rather than a larger amount for everything, he said.
Before the site opened, it had a heavy presence online, including an active Facebook page and marking the opening with a "count up," rather than down, each tick noting the days of construction. The website included an email address to keep up on the latest news, and now promotes the latest deals, and Crane said fans who signed up online can expect special deals and promotions as the Feb. 9 opening nears.
"We've certainly had lots of community support," Crane said. "A lot of people have mentioned, 'We don't have to waste our gas money on driving."
Crane and Owens also co-own an aviation maintenance company, which they had hoped to expand, Crane said. However, with the poor economy, they turned to a different business venture.
Neither lives far from FlipSide — Crane in Gilbert and Owens in Queen Creek — and noticed the dearth of family-friendly entertainment in the south East Valley, they said.
Both Crane and Owens are fathers and their kids approve of the new center, they added.
"My son, who is five-year-old, told me, 'Daddy, I want to live here.' So I made him a cot in the back," Owen said laughing.
The business currently has 110 employees, nearing the high of 120 they originally expected to hire, Crane said.
Additional information about FlipSide can be found at www.exploreFlipSide.com or by calling (480)471-8444. The facility is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

Jennifer Aniston's Wedding & Engagement Magazine Covers Through the Years (PHOTOS)
Now that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have decided to tie the knot, all eyes are on Jennifer Aniston as the world anticipates an engagement in her future with Justin Theroux.
The Wanderlust costars have been dating for some time and it's being reported that the 43-year-old actress moved into Justin's Los Angeles home. However, we've been down this road before with Jen.
From Vince Vaughn to John Mayer, ever since her split from Brad, magazines and the public alike have been rushing her down the aisle. Click the pics to relive all her engagement and wedding covers over the years.
Following reports that Jen and Justin, 40, were planning a wedding in Greece, Celebuzz reached out to the actress' rep who was quick to shut down the rumors. Saying the story included "nothing accurate," Jen's rep says the item "reads like an advertisement for a hotel we have never heard of."

André Kherwald covers the latest issue of Brazilian style publication
Textil Moda entitled 'Upside Down'. The fair-haired model is captured by photographer Tavinho Costa's lens as he sports an eclectic mix of eye-catching and unique sportswear pieces.
The model's youthful wardrobe is curated by stylists Betina Bernauer and Cinthia Kiste who work closely with the magazine's fashion editor Mário Araujo. Combining clashing color and print combinations, the Textil Moda 'Upside Down' cover story embraces a youthful and fearless point of view.
This edgy style aesthetic is translated on the publication's bold cover concept that overlays vivid pink and yellow typography with mirror-image filtered photographs, made to resemble views from a visually vivid kaleidoscope of color.

A princess cheering him on, calling for him to dodge, parry, block, jump, was something he had come to expect.Just not this princess.It should have been Midna. Midna, who wasnt familiar at all, who didnt make his ears ring when he heard her voice and didnt make him feel hed been here before. Midna, who was new.Midna, who was more than likely dead.Link, look out!He jerked back to himself, trying to ignore the fact that he knew hed heard Princess Zelda scream that before, trying to ignore the flickers and flashes of memory that made no sense, and focused on why he was here.Defeat Ganondorf.

Here, too, are voices from the "Down-Home Resistance" that supported George Wallace, Bull Connor, and the "traditions" of the Old South—voices that conjure up the frightening terrain on which the battle was fought. My Soul is Rested is a powerful document of social and political history, as well as a magnificent tribute to those who made history happen.

"Deeply affecting and searingly vivid"

DALLAS-The Container Store Group is launching its new marketing campaign, focused on the principles of Conscious Capitalism, today.
The campaign is focused on the question, "What If Everyone Associated with a Business Could Thrive?", which highlights one of the core tenets of the Conscious Capitalism movement, the stakeholder model. This holds that a business and everyone associated with it are most successful when the company makes decisions that positively impact all of its stakeholders simultaneously. Kip Tindell, The Container Store's chairman and CEO, has long been an advocate of Conscious Capitalism.
The campaign includes full-page advertisements in newspapers such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today. It also includes videos on the retailer's blog, whatwestandfor.com, and its YouTube channel, which is also debuting today. In addition, the creative part of the campaign will be integrated into The Container Store's direct-mail, email and in-store materials, and through its social-media channels throughout this year.

Nice looking gun. I have the same one with a Docter optic on it. Best current production revolver on the market.
those are nice. definitely agree, the best revolver around. It beats my .44 LOL
Very nice looking rigs!!!!
Can't speak to that specific gun but, recoil in my 686+ Mtn Gun is not bad, even with full-house hand loads so; I can't imagine this larger gun would offer any real issues at all.

Roots Magic
A Family Search web site.
What is RootsMagic?
RootsMagic is a Windows® based computer program you can use to record, organize, print and share genealogical information. It allows you to create a computerized family tree (known as a database or a family records data file) beginning with yourself and continuing back through your parents, grandparents, and as many generations back as you are able to find. This is separate from any other program (FamilySearch Family Tree, PAF, etc.) and can only be accessed by you (unless you share your information).

text: I'm wondering, because I'm still somewhat new to cooking and all that. I don't mind buying cheaper meats (by cheaper, I mean stuff from Walmart and/or not name brand meats.) I've never had a bad experience with them before, and they taste fine to me. My boyfriend's mom is kind of snooty though and only buys it from Costco or nicer grocery stores like Raley's. I didn't think there was much of a difference, except the price. So is there?
