Tuesday, April 20
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum
Attendance: 19,849
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Alex Rodriguez launched a three-run homer and reached base four times, and the New York Yankees posted their fifth straight win with a 7-3 victory over the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a three- game set.
Rodriguez scored twice and walked three times for the Yankees, who have won eight of nine overall. Jorge Posada and Nick Swisher each drove in a pair of runs for New York, which used 10 walks to help post the win.
Javier Vazquez (1-2) earned his first win in his second stint with the Yanks, allowing three runs, six hits and three walks in 5 1/3 frames. He also struck out six.
"We played extremely well. Our starters have given us a chance every night, they've thrown the ball extremely well," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Our bullpen has come in and done the job, and we've made pitchers work. We're doing what we need to do to win games."
Kurt Suzuki hit a two-run blast, while Travis Buck hit a solo shot for the A's, who were seeking their first 10-5 start since 1992. Gio Gonzalez (1-1) lasted only 4 1/3 innings and yielded five runs on three hits and five walks in defeat.
"We're a bulldog team. We fought all the way to the end," Gonzalez said. "We didn't get the big breaks like we did. We went out there, we tried out best, we just couldn't get the runs in."
The Yankees began the game on a good note, scoring three in the first off Gonzalez -- all with two outs.
The first two batters of the inning were retired, but Mark Teixeira kept the frame alive with a double, and Rodriguez worked a walk. Robinson Cano also walked to load the bases, and Posada's infield single scored Teixeira.
Swisher followed with a bloop single to center, plating two runners for a three-run edge.
New York doubled its lead in the fifth with Rodriguez's blast. Gonzalez got Derek Jeter to ground out but issued consecutive walks to Nick Johnson and Teixeira. Oakland replaced Gonzalez with Craig Breslow, and Rodriguez launched a 2-1 pitch into the seats in left-center for a 6-0 lead.
The A's got on the board with Buck's leadoff homer in the home half, and Suzuki chased Vazquez from the game in the sixth with his two-run shot.
Right before Vazquez was replaced, a foul tip hit home plate umpire Ed Rapuano square in the mask. Rapuano remained in the game briefly but was eventually forced to leave the game. The contest was delayed while Ron Kulpa replaced Rapuano behind the plate.
Johnson later scored New York's seventh run on a Posada fielder's choice groundout in the seventh, and the Yankees' bullpen took over from there. Boone Logan finished out the sixth without any further problems, and Joba Chamberlain relieved Logan in the seventh with the bases loaded and two outs and struck out Kevin Kouzmanoff to end the threat.
Chamberlain pitched a perfect eighth, and Mariano Rivera relieved Damaso Marte in the ninth and finished out the game with a scoreless inning.

Mollywood director Vysakh's directorial debut, Pokkiriraja, has new takers now. Apparently, the remake rights of the film have been bought by a Mumbai-based production house recently.
"I was asked to direct the Hindi version as well. Since I had already committed to a few other movies, I couldn't take it up," says Vysakh.
However, the director says he is not aware of its casting in Bollywood. "I was informed that they were planning to rope in Akshay Kumar to play the role of Mammootty," he adds.
Pokkiriraja, which released in 2010, had Mammootty, Prithviraj and Shriya (who debuted in Mollywood with this film) playing the leads.
Going by the recent trend of movies like Traffic being remade in Hindi, let's hope B-Town creates another hit from the south!

A Message To The President From A Ferocious Independent |
By: Eureka Springs Tuesday February 2, 2010 1:00 pm |
Dear Mr. President,
During the bailouts and the early meetings on health care we learned you will not listen to progressives, so I thought a Ferocious Independent might have a better chance of getting through. The kind of Independent everyone just wants to cuddle.
I would like you to meet Louiza, The Super Ferocious Snow Kitty.
She's been taking the pulse of the nation.
False Choice From A Fellow Citizen In Health Crisis |
By: Eureka Springs Saturday January 23, 2010 10:43 am |
Everyone is talking about the TPM reader MD's letter today. I wanted to share my initial reaction to his plea for support of the Senate bill.
First a couple of portions below:
Current medical treatments can't save him, but they will give him a few more years before the slow death strips him of his memories, personality and control of his body.
There's a 50 percent chance the same slow motion death awaits me and each of my three siblings. If I ever lose my job I'll become uninsurable, permanently. My sister already lost her insurance.
That means whatever treatment is developed for Huntington's will be unavailable to us. There's simply no way we could afford it. Not only high tech gene therapies or other interventions, but the medications and treatments that exist now that would buy us enough time to see our kids' graduations or weddings, and would give them hope of not suffering their grandfather's fate.
There's a bill that would mean we'd never be rejected for health insurance or have it canceled. Health insurance that could ease our final years, or maybe even save us.
But liberals are refusing to support it
What bill? I am not at all certain the Senate bill would provide the anti-recision measures he thinks it would. The promise of skyrocketing prices diminishes recision protections a great deal. Virtually every country who has gone through what we think we are trying to do now has lowered healthcare costs 30 percent. Yet we know insurance and pharma, who already rule us with by far the highest prices in the world, are jumping for joy, promising higher. The fate of the Dorgan amendment alone says so much.
What do liberal leaders say to them? What do those liberals tell people like my dad, a die-hard activist Democrat, a UAW member who worked his way through college to become a teacher?
This is happening to a man and his father who probably have better insurance now than most people do, and he wants millions of hard working low income folks like me and his own sister who have no care at all to buy junk insurance, under force of law, from private insurers. Something which would at best put me in a worse financial position than he and his father have ever known and leave me in a worse position were my health to suffer the same fate?
MD presents a false choice with no certainty his solution is a sound one. And he's asking people to jump into his miserable boat to make things better.
We must have healthcare declared to be a human right and have a strong Public Plan of some sort in our country. Otherwise folks will remain divided, confused and overcharged by ponzi schemers who are writing these bills, and still desperately willing to believe in the wrong solutions in the midst of their own true crisis one at a time.
How dare the Senate, the administration, and their defenders try fooling this man and all the rest of us.
Emptywheel has a post on the letter.

Well if you want some discussion, then let us start one. Battle Rifle vs. Battle Carbine. I do not lump them into the same thing. 5.56 and 7.62x39 are Carbine rounds. To get to Rifle territory you have to get up to 6.5 and up. As for what platform you prefer to shoot your Carbine or Rifle round from, that is a lot of personal opinion. If you have not seriously used a certain platform, then don't keep passing around what you believe to be true. Get one, use it a lot, and then pass judgment on to other. For instance, if you don't like the conventional Stoner design in an AR, then maybe a gas piston upper will suit you better. Oh, and that Mini-14.. yes I owned 2 and put them through a lot of rounds. Not one failure, and each rifle had at least 10K through it. I drug them through muck, 500+ round count days, Wolf ammo. I have also taken deer with .223, zero problems, the farthest went 20 feet. Shot placement and bullet make a big difference. I hunted Elk with a .243, and yep, all of them have gone down right where I shot them. Well, there was one that went 30 yards... The neighbor girl (14) borrowed the rifle since she could not shoot the .270 that her dad got her 2 years ago. So far, 4 deer, 2 Antelope, and 2 Elk. I cannot and will not comment on the AK series. I have never owned one, much less shot one. In the Rifle class, there is the Garand, M1A, FAL, Cetme, HK91, AR-10, and others. Each one has it's up's and downs. The reason that the CMP has not sold M14's is that the receivers are Full Auto capable. They do know how to render the receiver so that it cannot be converted, but at this time they won't do that. Of course there being a war on now and them bringing the stocks back out doesn't help much. So what was it you wanted to discuss? -Bidah
I'm only 30, so I don't have extensive training on the M14. It is a proven platform, firing a proven round. The issue of ammo weigh is just BS. A soldier will carry what he needs to survive. I've humped 60s and SAWs and was usually comforted by the fact that I had the extra ammo, even though it was breaking my back. By going to a light, much less lethal round, the military assured that the 'spray and pray' technique would be used in combat. However, there have been recent stories of Marine and Army scout units equipped with M14 DMRs that were able to engage an AK equipped enemy at 800 to 1200 yards. They were able to eliminate the threat at 3 to 4 times the effective range of the AKs that the enemy forces had. The M14s are becoming popular with USASOC snipers in current combat areas. They're willing to sacrifice a few hundred yards worth of shot distance for quick follow up and full auto operation if necessary. Keep in mind, that should a DM/sniper's rifle fail to operate, they may not live to tell about it, so that is a testament to how much faith these guys are willing to put into a 40+ year old rifle. The SEALS are digging up all of the M14s that they can find for the NAVSPECWAR Mk14 Mod0 EBR project. The M14 was an outstanding rifle that was killed off by politics. It's good to see that the military has realized the error of it's ways and is now trying to bring them back into service. It's a shame that the numbers aren't high enough to equip more soldiers with them. I've had a Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad on order for about 6 months now. I wish it would hurry up and get here. Once Fulton Armory can get their M14 receivers back in stock, I'm going to order one of them also and begin construction on a Krieger heavy barreled, McMillan stocked pillar bedded bad ass.
I seem to remember a study done years ago that found an "unbelievable" number of soldiers (infantry types, not REMFs) never fired their weapons in combat and I believe it was during the Vietnam era. This gave more credence to moving away from the M14 and toward the M16. Since soldiers were not engaging in "aimed" fire then "spray and pray" worked well with the M16. I have killed my fair share of cans with both weapons and prefer my M1A by a wide margin. The only thing that would compel me to pick up an AR (to supplement my M1A) would be the availability of mags and ammo (savanged from the "battlefield").
The term "Battle rifle" refers to FULL power rifles, IMHO. The 7.62 X 51/ .308 is the minimum caliber for consideration in that category (I know, the FN-49 in 7 X 57). I have an HK-91 and CETME, both in 7.62 X 51. I also have a Remington 7400 carbine in .30-06. I have lots of 10 round mags and like it alot. The M-16 and AK-47 (both in selective fire) are "Assault Rifles", not battle rifles. The semi-auto versions of these two are good weapons (I have 2 of each). They fill a different place in the arsenal. I do not have an M-14/M-1A or an FN. I do not have anything against them except the gas systems that will foul much faster than the delayed blowback operation of the HK/CETME system. I say, get what you can afford/are familiar with and practice.
During my time in the USMC (1964-1968) I had the pleasure of firing both the M-14 and the M-16. Probably more than I wanted too but thats another issue all together. I qualified with the M-14 and to this day still like it better than the M-16. Maybe it is because I was trained with it? Maybe it was because I could actually hit what I was aiming at? lol Anyway, I do not feel that the M-14 and the M-16 are in the same catagory. But thats probably just me.
I had no problems qualifying with the M16 at thr 500 yard line in Parris Island, in the fleet we actually took some shots from around 600 yards and with nothing but the stock sights. No problem hitting the man sized target from that distance. I don't have any trigger time on the M14 or any other older rifle but I'm sure they aren't bad either.

Hurricane Sandy has been a nightmare. It destroyed homes, knocked out power, flooded the New York City Subway, and wiped out about a quarter of the cellphone towers between Virginia and Massachusetts. And now we know that it also cut off about 10 percent of the computer networks in Manhattan.

Last night, news site BuzzFeed went down in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. By 6 a.m. EDT, BuzzFeed's flooded data center was still waiting to be bailed out by the Army Corps. of Engineers. But the site itself was back online — hosted on Amazon's cloud computing platform.
Startups like Amazon because they can get up and running quickly, but when Sandy struck last night, and power went out in Lower Manhattan, BuzzFeed found itself looking for the shortest go-live deadline imaginable.

ZAVALLA, TX — After two months on the job, Zavalla police chief Jim Hodges has been suspended with pay while the city launches an in-house investigation into allegations against him.
The decision was made by Zavalla City Council during Monday night's meeting. The council spent nearly one-and-a-half hours behind closed doors bringing in several community members and then 69-year-old Hodges.
Zavalla Mayor Greg Fletcher said Monday night he could not go into detail on the nature of the allegations at this time.
"Right now he is suspended with pay until we do an investigation into the allegations that were brought against him," Fletcher said.
Hodges declined to comment.
A Zavalla woman brought into the council's closed-door session to voice her complaint against Hodges, Juanita Malone, also declined comment on the allegations but said she is happy an investigation is taking place.
"I really don't have much to say except for that I am aware of a third-party investigator," Malone said. "The Texas Rangers are getting involved and I am happy about that."
Hodges, a 30-year police veteran, took the reins of Zavalla's department at the end of May after former police chief Bobby Epperly accepted a chief position with Huntington.

Police seize cocaine in hotel
POSTED: Wednesday, March 3, 2010 - 11:28am
UPDATED: Sunday, May 23, 2010 - 8:03am
LONGVIEW - On March 2, 2010 at around 1:00 p.m., the Longview Police Department Special
Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team assisted the Gregg County Organized Drug
Enforcement (CODE) Unit by serving narcotics search warrants at two different
rooms at the American Dream Inn at 2015 East Marshall Avenue.
As the SWAT Team approached, an unidentified male subject standing outside
the hotel threw down a pill bottle containing crack cocaine and fled the area on
foot. The SWAT Team made entry into rooms 14 and 38 without incident and
CODE Investigators discovered crack cocaine in both rooms.
Three people were arrested, to include a father and son:
Roger Wayne Taylor, date of birth 2-20-1956, of 135
1st Street Longview, was charged with possession of a
controlled substance.
Courtney Ladarion Taylor, date of birth 11-01-1980,
of 1467 Carol Oaks Forth Worth, Texas was charged
with possession of a controlled substance.
Cheryl Jean Lackey, date of birth 1-09-1975 of 2827
Darwin in Kilgore, was arrested for an outstanding
Gregg County warrant.
Roger Taylor, Courtney Taylor and Cheryl Lackey were all booked into the Gregg
County Jail. The subject that ran when SWAT approached is still at-large.
Comments News Comments
I am so saddened to read the everyday news just dealing with drugs. Aren't people sick of drugs? There are so many drug and private rehab that can help you get over the addiction. I doubt that the guilty ones after they will serve time they will be really 'rehabilitated'. It's very hard without following a real treatment program. As a judge I'd send them to jail and rehab as well just to be sure they will come out clean.

We opted to stay here because the #1 rated motel in Grangeville was booked and have no regrets staying here. The property has obviously been renovated & upgraded. The rooms were clean, larger than I expected and pleasant. Wifi worked very well; friendly staff and plenty of parking for a very reasonable price of $85. I would definitely stay here... More

Rachel Bilson: Where's The Ring?
Clearly Hayden Christensen likes it, but did he put a ring on it?
Rachel Bilson inspired some questions when she turned up to New York Fashion Week, where she's been attending shows amidst her engagement announcement to the Star Wars actor, without a ring on.
Typically a sign that one is promised to another, an engagement ring could've nicely complimented the getups Bilson has been wearing to shows like BCBB Max Azria and Brian Reyes.
Sadly, the Jumper starlets finger remains nude.
While it could be in the midst of resizing, or maybe still being selected by the couple, we'll wait with bated breath for the diamond seal.
Reps for Bilson declined to comment on her personal life.

* I bought Golden Blonde Brow Powder Duo -- I have very fair skin and light blonde hair
+ Adds natural color and shape to brows
+ 2 colors for adding definition to certain areas (like the arch)
+ can be applied lighter or darker
* Best when used with angled brush
* I have better success when using a brow stencil

I got Medium ash for my dark brown brows. I have light brown hair, and a lot of colors just add red to my brows, or make them even darker. I need them filled in. This powder does a great job at that. It looks natural and lasts. I would have liked this to come with a bit of wax, but right now I'll settle for using some Ardell Lash/ brow accelerator over it. Even though it works well, I don't think I'd buy this again. It's expensive for a brow product. My real gripe is with the compact. It is a bit annoying to flip open. Several times now I have opened the little clasp only to have my thumbnail slip and land in the powder. Dents and chunks missing from my powder, lots of wasted product, and a big brown smudge underneath my nail to scrub off. Sure, I could be more careful, but I'm half comatose when I'm doing my makeup in the morning. This is annoying enough for me not to repurchase.

I got the BRUNETTE duo since I have black hair, and it took me some time to figure how to best apply it without it looking too dark but it worked out well. Looks natural and stays put throughout the day unlike pencil brows I used to use. I would definitely buy again... considering if I should buy a shade lighter, though. Definitely recommended!
I love this! Great powder that looks so natural. Easy to use and stays put. I recommend this to anyone.
After years of using brow gels and pomanders, I decided I needed a softer look for my brows. The Anastasia Powder Duo in Golden Blonde is perfect for me. I glide my brush across the two shades to combine them, and the powder goes on quickly and smoothly, without ever appearing too dark. This product makes brow coloring quick and easy for me.

Love this product so much!!! IO have been using it for over 2 years and find I only need to buy it every 8-12 months. It's the best powder b/c the color is so perfect for my blond hair and medium complexion. the best part is the double color. I use the ligter color to fill in and the darker color on the bottom of my brows for definition. My brow girl at Anastacia showed me how to do this. I have used so many other products, but am a die hard for only this one. Th epackaging is pretty but be careful not to drop-not very forgiving. I love it and hope you love it too!

I havent found a better brow powder but I have a suspicion that there is something better out there. However, I am surprised how well this powder works. I have the worlds worst eye brows. No Joke. They are so overplucked its almost impossible for me to not look like an idiot everyday. Also, I have natural blonde hair and fair skin yet my eye brows are black. Not dark brown, black. This only adds to my brow troubles. This brow powder has helped me to lighten the boldness of my brows somewhat yet still fill them in and thicken them without ending up with two toned brows. I can use the lightest color in the ash blonde duo for fill ins and the darker color to add some length and thickness to my brows. Its working out pretty well. Much better than the old pencil I was using. I still havent been able to totally tame my brows and get a look I am 100% happy with but I am on the look out for a better product. Like I said, I have yet to find one.

The brow powder on whatshebuys.com is the exact same one at sephora.. not larger like a reviewer before commented. I think they changed it. I really like this brow powder. It stays on very well and has a very natural color.
More reviews by proximitythe53rd
This is, by far, the best product I've found for making my brows look natural, but perfect.
I have this in medium ash, ... If I want it to be undetectable that I've used anything to perfect my brows, I use the light shade alone. For more definition I tend to use both shades. (I like to use the dark shade to subtly fill gaps, and the lighter shade to make my brows look more full.) When I'm creating a more dramatic look, especially if I'm applying darker eye makeup, or if I'm doing a 'brow' look, I'll use more of the darker shade to really tie the makeup together.
This brow powder doesn't smudge, migrate, or fade through the day. I have paranoia about getting smudged brows (how embarrassing!) but that just doesn't happen with this powder. It's not even necessary to use a wax or brow gel to lock it in, the color stays put on its own.
I definitely suggest going somewhere and trying this product to make sure it works well for you, and you're choosing the right color before buying. It sounds like a number of the less-than-stellar reviews on here were caused by picking the wrong color. (Or possibly not having a good color match?)
You'll need a brush for application; I use Anastasia's double-ended brush - it has an angled natural hair brush on one end for applying the powder, and a spooley thing on the other side for brushing your brows into shape/brushing the powder through once applied. This brush is great, but it's not necessary to buy Anastasia's brush for perfect application of this product, - any basically equivalent brush should do the job :)
(I prefer natural hair, a little on the stiff side, not scratchy.)
It's a high price tag, but one of these little compacts will last you quite a while, even if you use it every day.
I'm still loving this brow powder, and I can confirm that there's plenty of product - it just lasts and lasts. An extra note for anyone looking for a more precise application, or to fill a sparse area: try using a thinner brow brush, and wet/dampen the brush before picking up the powder. You can use quick, short, light movements to sort of draw tiny lines for a natural look.

I have the duo in Medium Ash and it is the best brow powder ever. Not only are the shades perfect for me (I have black hair but my brows are very sparse and my skin is pale so I need a lighter brow color) but the compact is gorgeous and practical. It is perfect--not too big and not too small with a mirror! The lighter shade alone is just a tad too light for me to look convincing but I can use both the light and dark shades blended together or just the dark shade on its own. Sometimes I use the powder with my Clinique Superfine brow pencil in soft brown l for bad brow days. The shade and quality of the darker color in the medium ash duo is a lot like the old Body Shop brow powder from 10 years ago which I loved but lost quite a while back. TBS has since come out with a new brow powder but it's nowhere close to the old one I had. I don't see how I could ever finish this duo but I think I'll get a backup just in case Anastasia decides to discontinue the medium ash duo.

That's a great site- how do you find all these things, Flowerlady? We have mostly antique furniture, and it's very small and light compared to the stuff they build today. The Shakers actually used to hang chairs on the wall when not in use, freeing up space, and making it easier to clean. We keep a stock of cheap plastic chairs on the porch, which get pressed into service inside when we have a large gathering. |

flgargoyle ~ I just keep searching online and things that look like they will be right for this forum I post here. We have a mixture of some antiques, curbside finds, flea market and yard sale items. I also check out books at our local library to give me ideas for make our home more liveable. Like you said though, getting rid of stuff would certainly help free up some space. It is hard to let go of 'things', but we are working on it. FlowerLady |

"Excellent macaroni! It's important to cook the flour and butter mixture for a few minutes before adding the milk and cream, to get rid of the "flour" taste. It's standard when making a roux or bechamel. I'm guessing some people who complained of bland flavor didn't cook it properly."
"This was the best pumpkin cheesecake I've made so far, and I've tried 5 other recipes. I should have known Emeril's would be the best. It's easy and delicious. Definitely beat this minimally, bake it in a water bath and run the knife around the edge when done baking....this way it won't crack.I want to point out that it DOES NOT make two pies..."

Our prayers are with all those who are descending upon Washington, DC today as well within their own local gatherings to take a stand for life. It has been suggested that Friday's crowds could outnumber last Monday's inauguration crowds, which many would interpret as a statement all on it own.
It s my own personal hope is that we, at minimum, hear some dialogue regarding gun control. While the reports of annual deaths caused by guns pale against the best estimates of abortions per year, 40 tears after Roe v Wade, we must continue to expand the discussion if we are truly about creating a culture of life.

Hoping someone more up on the current state of vacuum cleaners can help!
We have a Miele Sirius canister vacuum that we like, but when we bought it four years ago we had all hardwood floors. The Sirius was the version of the S4210 canister that was packaged only with the bare floors attachment, so it was perfect. We've recently added several low-pile rugs and need to get something that will work for pet hair on rugs. I'm wondering...should we invest in one of the Miele attachments for the Sirius (I think this would be the Turbobrush, which is $129) or is there an upright vacuum (or something else) that would be in the same price range that would be better for rugs? Would love to know what's worked for others (and if anyone has the Miele canister with the Turbobrush, what you think of it). Thanks! |

I use a Miele canister with the turbobrush for low pile rugs - I have a husky shepherd too! If it were me I would buy the turbobrush for your existing canister. Miele canisters are great: I have two, one downstairs with the power brush for the basement carpet and the LR long pile rug. Upstairs I have the suction only with the parquet floor and turbo brush tools. Love the lighter weight of that one and it is all I need for upstairs. Since in general I am eliminating carpet from my home (only in the basement now and it is needed there) the suction only Miele is great for me. I think the power brush can be too harsh on those types of rugs in any case. I prefer using the turbobrush and then getting the rugs professionally cleaned once in a while. Good luck! |
Thanks Tina--all else being equal that's definitely the direction we're leaning since we have pretty limited storage space and a cabinet sized to fit the Miele, so the prospect of adding another vacuum to store is not so hot. I think I just balked at the price and wanted to be sure it really made sense to spend the money on the turbobrush versus on an upright or stick vacuum that might do a better job for not much more. We have been really happy with the parquet floor tool for the wood and linoleum floors, though, so I was hoping the turbobrush would perform similarly for carpeting. (We have a black lab so he basically sheds nonstop all over everything---and we also have an almost-crawling baby who is constantly covered in dog hair, so it's time to get the vacuum sorted out... :) |
artemis78; If you want to save some money and just add to your Miele, a turbo brush, for carpets, would help. There is no need to spend so much on a Miele branded turbo brush. Look for a turbo brush for Miele. It will have the larger, European 35mm fitting, which is different from the U.S.'s 32mm fitting. The carpet turbo brush will cost you half as much as the Miele branded. Do a search for "Wessel Werk turbo brush for Miele". There are also mini turbo brushes, so do not confuse this with what you are looking for. |
Thanks geguymw---I didn't realize other brushes would be compatible, so that's perfect! (We already use the non-Miele bags and that was a huge discovery/savings.) I'll check this out. :) |
- Posted by maire_cate (My Page) on Mon, Apr 2, 12 at 16:53
Artemis - where did you find the non-Miele bags? |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Mon, Apr 2, 12 at 18:04
Have both brushes with my Miele and a combo of floors and area rugs. The turbo brush is much easier to use on rugs than the floor brush and picks up most everything. However, sometimes on the lower pile rugs I do use the floor brush. It sort of "scrubs" them but it requires much more physical effort to use. With doghair and a baby, turbo brush for sure. Having just vacuumed indigo slipcover lint off the white under-covering on the TV room sofa after stripping off the slipcovers (diet soda spill) I wouldn't trade the adjustable suction for anything. |
Thanks all! Does anyone have the Wessel-Werk brush? It's certainly far more affordable so I'm curious as to whether it works as well...probably worth trying regardless. @maire-cate, we use the Filtrete Miele bags---they're not quite as thick as the actual Miele bags (and my husband swears the sealing gizmo for removing the bag doesn't work as well, though I've never had a problem) but they're $9 for five bags (sometimes less) so no complaints here. You just have to be sure to know the letters for your vacuum to get the compatible bags. |
maire_cate; There are a few brands which market the generic bags for your Miele vacuum cleaner. The most popular brand for large retail are 3M Filtrete and Arm & Hammer[both marketed by AB Electrolux(Electrolux, Eureka)]. You should also not have any trouble finding generic Miele bags and filters in non-Miele vac shops. A popular brand there is called Envirocare. Artemi78; W-W is a quality vacuum cleaner attachment supplier in Germany,who supply to many vacuum cleaner brands. Miele is one of them. A turbo brush uses air movement, from the vacuum cleaner, to turn a turbine which turns the brushroll. The brushroll bristles are very soft and do not protrude from the bottom very much. The turbo brush is designed this way, so that it will not get bogged down and stop turning. If the bristles were very stiff, long and used on thick carpeting, the turbo brush would not work as efficiently. So using this attachment on limited area, short rugs would be okay. Just make sure you do not race through vacuuming the rugs. Allow the turbo brush to clean. |

that makes sense. it is about liability.
im not trying to make you contribute. but a real citizens campaign group can work. it hits elected officials where it hurts.... the voting booth
its a personal thing with Surfrider, little too much enviro and not enough surfing, but thats my opinion.
its albout who is actively participaing on how an organization is steered. not much different then this forum really.
54321smom, your opinion is as valued here as anyone else's. I'll probably take some flak for that, but without dissent, there is no discussion. Is not the purpose of a forum to provide a public meeting place for open discussion? Stranded, that's a pretty dystopian vision of the future, don't you think? It might end up being the reality, but none of us can forecast what world events may come to pass with 100% accuracy. Call me an optimist, but I hope my grandchildren live in a world where the relentless pursuit of a finite amount of resources by an ever growing population is no longer an issue. What can I say, I read Thomas Moore and Aldus Huxley as a kid. I am also a person, who although I appreciate the sacrifices that the military has made, I'm not blind to the fact that it is and has been used to further corporate and individuals' profit motivations. Case in point, the annexation of Hawaii by the United States. This was done for two reasons, to provide a coaling station for the U.S. Navy (which they already had under a 1857 treaty and wanted to expand) and to help sugar plantation owners avoid a tariff on sugar imports to the mainland. The United States pursued an expansionary doctrine throughout the latter half of 19th century and first half of the 20th century founded on the theories of a Civil War Captain named Alfred T. Mahan. Look it up, it's called The Influence of Sea Power Upon History, 1660–1783; it's a great read if you're into U.S. History spanning from post-Civil War up to WWII. The theory was that to achieve a position of global influence a nation must control international commerce and that it was in a nation's best interests to link military expansion with private business interests. One of the biggest proponents of this school of thought was Teddy Roosevelt, who presided over one of the largest expansions of the U.S. navy and was C.I.N.C. during the Banana Wars, which were the forgotten invasions of Central America at the beginning of the 20th century:
Panama – 1903
Dominican Republic - 1903, 1904, and 1914; occupied by the U.S. from 1916-1924
Honduras - 1903, 1907, 1911, 1912, 1919, 1924 and 1925
Nicaragua - occupied by the U.S. until 1933
Puerto Rico
The P.I.
So, what I'm trying to say here is that there is historical precedent for 54321smom's opinion. I'm not even going to site the CIA's self admitted involvement in the drug trade, the Iran Contra Affair or the fabrication of evidence to justify the invasion of Iraq; all recent enough. However, the manner in which he or she presented her argument was a bit akin to spitting on someone's uniform and calling them a baby killer. Which is akin to pumpmaster's response of "don't let the door hit you". Knowing a lot of people who have worked for defense contractors and in the procurement arm of the military, you can't say that there is not graft, corruption and outright thievery going on. My former Rep. Duke Cunningham was a prime example of how the noble purpose of the U.S. military is often supplanted by greed. I beseech all of my fellow surfers, let's keep it civil, respect other people's opinion no matter how lib-tarded or tea-partied out they are and please remember the words of Dwight D. Eisenhower:
A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction.
Our military organization today bears little relation to that known by any of my predecessors in peacetime, or indeed by the fighting men of World War II or Korea.
Until the latest of our world conflicts, the United States had no armaments industry. American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.
This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

i have a confession to make
i thought purpleheadedyogurtslinger was someone with purple hair that worked in a frozen yogurt shop....
how gross
It just never ends does it, gotta be something in the water in NJ.... hope the kid is ok
I suggest listening to Black Sabbath's "War Pig's"...it may help you realize that the man who once got off a tour bus and snorted a line of ants was smart enough to realize who the culprits of war are. It is about the highest form of ignorance to talk sh*t on a service member of our country, these people sacrifice their lives for your personal benefit, whether you want to admit it or not, or maybe you just have no clue.
I can understand exactly where your coming from, though, because I am also guilty of seeing the **** this country has become, all in the name of greed and power, and blowing up ranting on swellinfo forums...lol. It sucks! But you know what it's f*ckin' everywhere. Over the past year, I've given deep thought into relocating to Costa Rica, they don't have a military...at all. Nothing. None. The Tico's are some of the friendliest, caring and loving people I have ever met, but man is man, and a dollar is a dollar, and man wants as many dollars as he can get, some do anything to get it, even kill you for it....Respect The Servicemen and Women of this country, or like Pumpmaster said get on a plane and get the f*ck off U.S. soil, because with that view you are an ignorant excuse for an American.

Wanted to share a pic of my 5 gallon blueberry garden. These were tiny liners which I received last July. |

Altogether I have 170 plants at various stages. I planted 100 new liners last month with 10 new varieties that I didn't have before. The ones in the pic were planted last July and yes they are loaded with fruit. Many recommend to remove all buds the first year as the branches are too brittle to support fruit load. Well I was a newbie and wanted to taste so I let them bare. |

Looks like a Sunshine Blue blueberry. If it is, they are a dwarf variety. How do they taste ? Mine are not ripe yet. |
- Posted by johns.coastal.patio USDA 9b, Sunset 24 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 27, 14 at 15:50
They taste good - though a couple made me squint. We just nibble, so the trick is to touch them and see if they fall in your hand. Then they are great. |

text: Hey everyone my name is Jay and I'm 23 years old. I've lurked about this forum for the past week or two just reading and taking advice from all of the amazing people on here. Anyway, on February 15 I started a weight loss plan and am starting to need some support and encouragement I guess. My starting weight was 253 pounds and as of April 14 I weigh 208 pounds. Hopefully when I weigh myself on Tuesday at the gym I'll weigh less! My overall goal is 160 but right now I'm focused on breaking the 200 mark. I'm not counting calories, I'm just controling my portions. If I had to guess I'd say I'm eating about 1300 calories a day. I also do an hour of cardio on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. On Tuesday and Thursday I do an hour of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training. I take Saturdays off and on Sundays I do about an hour and a half of cardio. I'm dropping weight pretty quickly but I'm worried that it's slowing down. I would love to lose the last 48-50 pounds by say mid-August. Any advice or encouragement would be great. Despite my rapid weight loss I still feel like I'll never get to where I want to be.

Posted 29 May 2014 - 12:51 AM
All is explained if you follow the flowchart at the back of the rules precisely. The check to see whether all units are focused only happens AFTER both the edge winner has had an opportunity to strike AND the edge loser has had an opportunity to strike. Even if there are no units in the engagement, both sides have that opportunity.
You just need to be careful that the TST strikes before you get to that check and the Resolves Strike step finishes. For example, if the DS is attacking with two units and strikes with the first, and then the LS strikes and tactics/focuses the other, the Resolves Strike step will finish at that point because everything is focused and TST will not get another opportunity to strike. So you might want to do TST first up in low unit count battles to ensure it gets its strike in.

Thanks, but I'm still not clear what happens if I have no defending units. Can I still strike with the Trandoshans from outside of the engagement?
Yes, you still get a chance to strike and use them then.

"AS JOYOUS TO READ AS IT IS PROVOCATIVE . . . Friday is all woman . . . She is as strong and resourceful and decisive as any Heinlein hero; in addition she is loving (oh, yes) and tender and very, very female."
--Los Angeles Times
Friday is a secret courier. She is employed by a man known to her only as "Boss." Operating from and over a near-future Earth, where chaos is the happy norm, she finds herself on assignment at Boss's seemingly whimsical behest. From New Zealand to Canada, from one to another of the new states of America's disunion, she keeps her balance nimbly with quick, expeditious solutions to one calamity and scrape after another.
Not since Valentine Michael Smith, hero of the bestselling Stranger in a Strange Land, has Robert Heinlein created a more captivating protagonist. Friday proves once again why Robert Heinlein's novels have sold more than 50 million copies, have won countless awards, and have earned him the title of Grand Master of Science Fiction.
"FRIDAY IS A SUPERBEING. . . . Engineered from the finest genes, and trained to be a secret courier in a future world of chaotic ferocity and intrigue, she can think better and make love better than any of the normal people around her."

Pioneer Natural Resources Reports Year-End 2011 Proved Reserves And Finding Costs
Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) ("Pioneer" or "the Company") today announced that the Company added proved reserves totaling 148 million barrels oil equivalent (MMBOE) during 2011 from discoveries, extensions, improved recovery and technical revisions of previous estimates. These drillbit proved reserve additions equate to replacing 313% of Pioneer's full-year 2011 production of 49 MMBOE (including production of 230 thousand barrels oil equivalent from Tunisia prior to its sale and proved reserves used for field fuel of 3 MMBOE). The drillbit finding and development (F&D) cost related to proved reserve additions was $13.83 per barrel oil equivalent (BOE).
Scott D. Sheffield, Chairman and CEO, stated, "In 2011, we again delivered reserve replacement well in excess of production and achieved our targeted drillbit F&D cost of $10 to $15 per BOE for the year. This strong performance is mostly due to the successful execution of our drilling programs in the Spraberry field, the Eagle Ford Shale and the Barnett Shale Combo play."
The NYMEX prices used for 2011 proved reserves reporting purposes were $96.13 per barrel for oil and $4.12 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) for gas, compared to $79.28 per barrel of oil and $4.37 per MMBtu of gas used to calculate proved reserves for 2010. The increase in oil prices resulted in positive oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) price revisions due to the higher prices extending the economic life of certain producing wells in the Spraberry field. However, the decline in gas prices combined with management's current outlook for future gas prices resulted in the Company reallocating the planned capital spending from certain gas areas to liquids-rich areas with higher rates of return. The negative gas price revisions associated with this reallocation were primarily related to moving proved undeveloped gas reserves in the Company's Raton field in southeastern Colorado that are not expected to be drilled in the next five years to probable reserves. As a result, the Company recognized net negative price revisions of 28 MMBOE during 2011.
