usa1fan Posts: 68Getting anywhere between 23.5 and 28 so far, 40 / 60 city / highway, speeds between 35 and 70, right at 1000 miles in two weeks since buying (unusual for us, but busy time lately..). The easier I take it (cruise at 65, baby the throttle at takeoff, etc) the closer to 28 I get. This is in western VA, Harrisonburg to Staunton area, mild hills. Not too shabby for an AWD vehicle- within about 1 mpg of the 2008 Chevy Malibu V6 we had.
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,374Thanks for mentioning how many miles your Escape has.
Seems like it often takes anywhere from 3 to 5,000 miles or more for mpg to start approaching the EPA estimates for most drivers. My last new car kept getting (slightly) better mph even after I passed 10,000 miles on the odometer.Moderator

ghostpepperguy Posts: 6I have about 1,400 miles on my 1.6 SEL with 4WD. So far I'm very pleased with my mileage. Locally I use 87 octane regular without ethanol. My mileage with about 50/50 city/highway driving is around 26.5. Recently I took a 150 mile round trip on a state highway driving about 58 most of the time. I was at 31 mpg going there and about 30 returning into a head wind. As many have noted in other posts, unless you have an unusual mechanical issue, mpg is really a function of driving habits. Especially speed. If I want or need to get somewhere a little quicker and drive 70 or more, I expect that my mileage will drop off and don't agonize over it. Great vehicle....so far.
h3ll3r Posts: 16Please let us know how it turns out! I have a similar situation with mine, which is 1.6L AWD. I'm at 1900 miles right now, doing apprx. 80% city and 20% highway, and my last 4 tanks average to 18 mpg.
This is really disappointing with an "Ecoboost" engine... When I talked with the Service department, I was told to expect better mileage later due to the auto tranny being in learning mode, as well as the engine not being broken in yet. I was told to keep tracking until the first service maintenance. -
bigmclargehuge Posts: 377Willard,
I will be in Washington next weekend, enjoying the scenery after a business conference.
i can very easily bring an analog boost gauge, if you have the inkling to borrow for a quick spin in an Ecoboost modern boosted vehicle if a dealer was found to allow it to be quickly hooked up.
It would take less than a minute behind the wheel for ALL of your 'guesses' about turbocharging to be PROVEN FALSE.
Come join the real world, won't you?
Static compression ratios are bogus measures of fuel efficiency. Transmissions play 10x the role in fuel economy as compression ratios do. Note that Mazda has a Skyactiv transmission, which if not utilized, all applications of the pathetic Skyactiv engine would be hardly better on the highway than a naturally aspirated engine of 9:1 CR.
The Skyactiv has a dynamic CR of around 9:1. The EB has a range of dynamic compression from above that to 20:1. This is verifiable by watching the boost gauge at anything above an idle or coast-down.
You know nothing about compression ratios, and yet are obsessed. It's funny -
usa1fan Posts: 68I've noticed that ours seems to be getting a little better with every fill up. Of course, I can't say for certain it's break in that's causing the improvement, as I intentionally drove 'normally' (that is, like everyone else) for the first two tanks, where I average around 24.6 and 25.5 mpg respectively. The past two tanks were both with me attempting to keep my speed at or under 65 (despite the 70 mph interstate limits around here), though my off-highway driving is pretty much the same as the other two, and my fuel economy was 26.3 for one and 27.4 for the other. The latest tank (as in now) is showing signs of hitting 29 (DIC indicated), and will most likely be around 28 when I get to filling it up (1/4 into the tank right now). I reset the primary trip (trip 1) each fill up, but have left the second trip meter alone, so that I could get a feel for the overall fuel economy too, and it was reading 25.7 at last glance.
Granted, all of these numbers are from the car. I have actually hand calculated twice, to find that it was around .5 mpg optimistic each time, but that could as easily be ascribed to it 'lying' to me as to differences in the fill up itself. Even using the same pump every time, I really don't think that the auto cutoff is perfectly accurate. How many times have you had a pump cut off mid-fill and had to start it again, sometimes needing to hold it just to get it to keep going?
At any rate, I noticed one other thing today, right after filling up. It reminded me of another post over in the main 2013 forum. A poster there mentioned driving all slow speed stop and go, and getting teens for fuel economy. Without beating them up too bad, that's to be expected. I drove around in downtown Harrisonburg (read: JMUville) for about two hours, at speeds no greater than 35, and with LOTS of stopping for lights, stop signs, and general parking lot traffic (both cars and pedestrians), and my readout hung out between 14.6 and 15.3 until I got out where I could get a continuous cruise going (45+), at which point it picked up quickly. My point being, if you're driving slow speed, stop-and-go, the numbers WILL be lower than the EPA numbers. That's where a hybrid (true hybrid, Prius, Ford C-Max, etc.) shines, since it will run all electric. There's most likely nothing wrong with the car.
Results are largely dependent on where you drive, how fast you take off, how fast you go, and all the other driver-determined quirks. It isn't too hard to suck the economy down to the low-20's, even for me, and if you live in some areas, it might be hard to get above that, based on traffic and terrain. -

Amen to that.
For S's and G's I actually went back to the Ford dealership (pretending I didn't own one) and drove another Ecoboost.
It got better mileage than mine for the short drive, and I seem to be one of the 'lucky' ones blessed with good mileage in my Ecoboost.
The Ford folks got the EPA numbers because the EPA number are achievable, otherwise the EPA would not give it to them. Key point is the text they are required to include with these figures:
h3ll3r Posts: 16Thanks for your comments. Yeah, it really seems to be the stop and go at low speeds (traffic) that kills the mileage for me. I baby the throttle like there's no tomorrow, in an effort to get more decent numbers. Very smooth takeoffs, try to brake as little as possible, etc... If I can drive without traffic in the city, going a steady 35mph, then I can get around 20-22 mpg... but as soon as there's stop and go traffic, it's nearly impossible to get close to decent mileage. I don't do much highway, but when I did, it seemed to hover around 24-26 mpg.
I do exactly like you, reset Trip1 on each drive, but use Trip2 for tanks. I've also recently starting using Fuelly to track accurately (although like you say, really hard to trust the auto-cutoff!!)
On this tank, I've put premium (91 octane) without ethanol (previous tanks were regular with up to 10% ethanol, which is pretty much the norm here in Ontario). So far the results seem a bit better... I'll report at the end of this tank. -
dizney Posts: 19Ford Escape 2013 1.6 L Eco boost FWD
I am getting great mileage after 800 miles. Have gone on two trips that were both a little over 200 miles each round trip. First averaged 35.5 mpg
Second 35.8 MPG !!!! Much better than my 2009 ford Edge !!!
Lots of power at highway speeds . On trips as above I used cruise control most of the time at 55 mph. When doing a combo city highway with more city driving my average is 26.8 mpg> Very pleased and will take those numbers any day !! -
jrock83 Posts: 10500 miles in. Filled up with 87 octane. MPG up to 26.1 as of this morning.
I see a lot of people complaining about the mileage (here and elsewhere). Try staying out of the throttle. That will probably help. You have to remember that the ecoboost engines are designed to give you good fuel economy because it combines a small displacement engine for better mileage and a turbocharger for extra power when you need it. So if you drive it properly, keep the tachometer under 2000 rpm, you will see better economy than if you race from stop light to stop light. I say 2000 rpm because I noticed that cruising down the interstate at 65 mph the tach was settled in at about 1500 rpm and while accelerating calmly the transmission seems to shift around 1800. Yeah its fun and the engines are pretty responsive, but doing it will not save gas. Keep in mind you're trying to move 3500-3700 pounds. No easy feat for a small displacement engine. That's where the turbo helps out when its necessary to move the extra bulk at an increased rate. Economy is also highly dependent upon WHERE you live. Higher elevations won't get as good of mileage as someone at sea level. Point is, drive like a formula 1 driver and you'll see bad mileage. Drive calmly and you'll see better mileage. -
h3ll3r Posts: 16Like I said in my previous post, these days, to try to see better results, I'm driving extremely lightly, probably to the point sometimes where it pisses off people behind me. It doesn't seem to be that simple of an explanation.
To compare, previous car was a 2010 Kia Soul with the 2.0L, 142hp engine, 5sp manual. I was driving it a lot harder (basically not paying attention to fuel economy and rowing the gears with enthusiasm...)
- Kia: I was getting about 260 miles out of tank of 12.7 gallons
- Ford: I am getting about 235 miles out of tank of 15.1 gallons
Same kind of commute (80% city).
Official fuel economy ratings for city driving were:
Kia: 24 mpg
Ford: 22 mpg
(Hwy is 30 mpg for both)
Kia: 20.5 mpg (I thought it wasn't so great but was OK with it...)
Ford: 15.5 mpg (this is appalling but I'll give it a bit more time)
So on paper according to fueleconomy.gov, it's pretty close... but not in real life. Yes I know the Kia was smaller and less powerful and 2WD all but it was rated almost the same, probably due to non-aerodynamic blocky shape, antiquated engine, 5spd tranny. And that doesn't factor in my much more relaxed driving in the Ford.
In closing, I'm mid-way with my current tank (no-ethanol 91 octane) and the trip computer projects at apprx 250 miles..... -
jrock83 Posts: 10First things first, your engine is not yet broken in. Once it is broken in you will see an increse in fuel economy.
Break it down a little bit for you:
Curb weight:
Kia: 2,800 lbs (less weight requires less energy to move)
Ford: 3,645 lbs (heavier vehicle requires more energy to move)
Kia: 2.0L natually aspirated, 142 HP @ 6000 rpm
Ford: 1.6L ecoboost (Turbo - forced induction) 172 HP @ 5700 rpm (Generates greater horsepower than a naturally aspirated engine by forcing air into the intake)
Kia: 5sp Manual (control shift point, can get better mileage or worse depending on when you shift)
Ford: 6sp Auto (promotes incresed economy due to shorter gearing thereby decreasing time in higher RPM)
Kia: FWD
Ford: AWD (typically decreases MPG)
Point is, you're moving more weight, nearly 900 lbs more weight. It's going to take more fuel to move it. And taking into consideration your driving style/location, it seems you do more stop and go which will negatively affect your economy even more considering more fuel is consumed when you accelerate from a stop. You also enjoy a more spirited driving style so that will use more fuel.
I traded a 2010 Kia Forte Ex Sedan for my Escape. I saw 30 mpg on average. Same engine and only 100 lbs lighter. So far I'm averaging only 4 MPG less than that. Driving style has a LOT to do with what kind of MPG you get. Before my Kia, I drove a 1991 Chevy C1500 with a 5.7L EFI V8. I routinely averaged 20-22 MPG out of that. Alternatively, I owned a 1995 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L I4 with a 5 spd manual. I averaged 17 MPG out of that.
I'm not trying to be negative here, only trying to give you some idea of why it may be possible you are getting such low numbers. An alternative may be a bad sensor. If you haven't taken it to the dealer yet, I'd suggest taking it in and have them run a diagnostic. Good luck, I hope you get it figured out. -
h3ll3r Posts: 16Yeah the dealership said that we should wait until the first service, since it will be fully broken in. Then if it's still so high, it'd be looked into a bit more... They also gave me those comments about the transmission being in learning mode, which I'm not sure if it's true, can't seem to find much on the web about this.
In the meantime I've purchased a little bluetooth obd2 device to monitor stuff, which I'll link to my android phone and hopefully get all kinds of neat stats. I'm looking forward to receiving that... wondering if there could be something like the Turbo kicking in too easily or something.
I understand that there's a lot more mass to move around vs. the Kia, but there are also other things that come in play... my friend drives a Panamera which is 200 pounds heavier than my Escape, it's got a much larger, 300hp engine and despite that he gets 18-20 mpg in the same kind of commute than me, which is better than me... and he doesn't baby the throttle like I do these days (who would in a Porsche!). They got all kinds of fuel saving technologies put into their cars...
Maybe there's absolutely nothing wrong with mine and it's just not the greatest powertrain for city driving in traffic.
Still I can't be the only one who drives through traffic in a gridlocked city and yet most people online seem to get mid-20s.
Your Forte engine was more technically advanced than the one on my Kia: yours was the Theta engine, mine the Beta... following model year on the Soul they got rid of it (I think it was their last car still on that crappy engine) and put in a newer, more efficient engine.
Thanks for your comments... -
jrock83 Posts: 10Gotcha... Yeah I don't know about that whole "transmission learning" thing either. I've got less than 600 miles on mine and it's doing fine. And I can't see the AWD making THAT much of a difference... Maybe a couple MPG less than FWD... I'm pretty well out of ideas then lol. Be interested to see what results you get from your obd2 thing too... Well... one more idea... not sure if the ecoboost does this, but it is common for turbo engines to add more fuel enriching the air/fuel mixture as rpm (and therefore air) increases. IF the ecoboosts follow this, then could it be that the computer is sending too much fuel too soon? Or even too much fuel altogether?
printerman1 Posts: 68
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,374There's a ton of theories about how much "learning" the engine and drivetrain do and how many drive cycles it takes. I've read that it only takes a couple of minutes for the computers in a brand new engine to calibrate stuff so that the engine runs smoothly. Other people say if you change your driving style it may take 40 driving cycles or 500 miles or some other criteria for the computer(s) to adapt, change the transmission shift points, etc.
My wife and I share our cars although I do most of the driving. But there's no appreciable difference in mpg or performance when she drives them. The computers supposedly compensate for that.
Edmunds has a long term fleet of test cars that a bunch of different people get to take home. Editors use them for commuting or on vacation trips and they rarely drive the same car more than a few days at a time before someone new grabs the keys. And yet when you read the blogs and follow the mpg reports, there doesn't seem to be a lot of variation between one driver and the next.
So while I don't think your sales guy is wrong, but it may not be the main factor in getting better mileage. Getting better mileage mostly boils down to not driving aggressively. And while some people get great mpg right from the start, it seems that most of us find our mpg gets better over time, and that seems to be a function of the car breaking in as much as anything.
Plenty of people swear that their car either got peppier or better mpg after having their computer(s) reflashed. Some of that may just be the seat of the pants placebo effect though.Moderator

wwest Posts: 10,706"Learning": Confusion reigns...
The driver's driving "style" memory is totally reset, erased, each and every time you start the engine. Within a fairly short period of starting the car in motion your "style" will be "binned" into 1 of 4 types. Shortly thereafter, depending on time elapsed and/or mileage covered, your driving style will be resolved into 1of 8, then 1 of 16, etc, etc.
The driving style memory stores a running record of (15) minutes, anything beyond drops off the end of the earth. So, the system will continuously adapt to your "changing" driving style/type.
An example of the use of this memory is that the "panic" braking is adapted as a function of your typical time it takes you to move your foot from the gas pedal to the brake. Make that move substantially quicker and you get "panic" braking, more braking power assist.
The "other" type of learning:
System sensors, engine and transmission sensors for instance, all have tolerances insofar as accuracy is concerned. As the car rolls out of the factory a default set of parameters are loaded with engineering assumptions of the actual accuracy of these sensors. Now as you drive the car day after day the system "learns" to correct/adjust the sensor signals as a function of the "real world" data stream now available. This learn continues as components wear.
Unplug the battery and ALL of the new learned parameters will get replaced by those factory defaults. Now the car will "act" differently for a few days, drive cycles, until those parameters can be corrected to match actual system components conditions. -
usa1fan Posts: 68"Maybe there's absolutely nothing wrong with mine and it's just not the greatest powertrain for city driving in traffic."
It's pretty much this one.
My 2.0l 4WD is still doing great. I've been intentionally trying to push it higher lately, staying in the right lane at 60mph (I-81, 60/65/70mph limits posted). I managed a 28.2 indicated, 27.8 calculated for the last fill up (last night). Two great pieces of news, for me, anyway:
1) Gas prices have gone even lower. The local Harrisonburg Walmart was selling regular unleaded at around $3.27/gal (using a preloaded Walmart card to get a 3 cent discount) for the past few days. Now most area stations have come down to about the same- the Sheetz are showing $3.29 (get a free Sheetz card, swipe it before the payment card at the pump, save another 3 cents / gal over that- so I paid $3.269- can't forget the sneaky .009 per gallon!). This is a trend I like!
2) On the way home (Broadway VA) from the Sheetz on University Blvd. (Harrisonburg, VA), my average fuel economy readout got as high as 36 mpg. Of course, this was still driving like a much older man (60). It's by far the highest I've seen though, and I have over 1500 miles on it as of the last tank, too, whether that actually makes a difference or not.
Observations backing up my reply to you h3ll3r-
In town, leaving the Sheetz to get on I-81N, my average readout got down to around 15 mpg. This is several stoplights, ~35mph speed limits. If I caught all the lights while they were green, it stayed closer to 20 mpg, but once I started having to stop, and especially when taking off from the lights (even babying it, as I was), it dropped down quickly. I'm fairly certain that the turbos on these cars are set up to be providing boost at low RPMs. Combine that with a certainty that your car also gets up to 2500-3000 rpms when taking off (and not really dropping under 2000 until steady-state speed is achieved), and it suffers. Even light acceleration in my car causes the tach to hit those, which is why I'm sure yours is at least doing the same.
So, definitely *not* the best drivetrain for in-city stoplight-to-stoplight traffic. Great for cruising, even at low speeds, but not if you're going to be constantly stopping and starting over short distances. Again, probably a hybrid's territory, as most gas engines do worse than EPA city numbers in this situation (even your Kia did, though not as much so as your Escape). Or at least a mild hybrid, with start-stop tech, so as to gain maybe 1 or 2 mpg by *not* running the engine while idling at a light..
I hope you prove me wrong though. Good luck! -
bigmclargehuge Posts: 377Great for cruising, even at low speeds, but not if you're going to be constantly stopping and starting over short distances
Yup. It's not a light vehicle, and Ford's transmissions shift too much and too hard, but its relatively aerodynamic. City will suffer while highway is quite good. -
h3ll3r Posts: 16Yep usa1fan, the way you describe it is EXACTLY how I see it too... any kind of stop and go greatly hurts the FE, but then if I'm able to coast (at 30-35 mph) without hitting too many red lights, then the mpg readout improves very rapidly...
Unfortunately it degrades rapidly as well during accelerations from a still position.
On "good" drives to pick up my daughter from school (10 miles round-trip through city) , I'll do 21-22 mpg... On a bad one (lots of red lights, traffic), I'll do 15-16 mpg.
Overall, on a tankful, I'm at 16 to 18 mpg, it's been pretty consistent over the previous few weeks so while I hope for some break-in improvements down the road (I'm at apprx 2000 miles on the odo), I'm not really counting on it at all. -

flaviof Posts: 4Do you live in Montreal ?? I am having the same issues as you.... I am getting 13 mpg in the city !! I have problems with the door adjustment also (this car is terrible... I should get the new Santa Fe instead)... I went to the dealer this week and they said the same for me, I should wait for the first service (after 6000km only !!), but I do not believe that I will get something better than 15 mpg in the city.... I think that I will propose to ford to return my car and take a V8 mustang.... for sure I will have more fun with the same fuel "efficiency level" !
h3ll3r Posts: 16I'm in Toronto... probably a similar kind of traffic!!
What kind of range are you getting with the car? I'm getting about 380km so far with the tankful, with the check fuel light coming up at 320-330km.
Well I guess we'll see what they say at the first service, even though that's in a while... maybe it'll be better at that point.
Just thinking out loud here... I'm wondering if there could be ECU tweaks to be done, for people driving mostly in the city? Like, reduce the turbo's involvement a bit unless you floor it more... That's wishful thinking for sure, but I see in the UK that they got new ECU programmings that boost the 1.6L engine by about 20-30 hp so maybe there's some room to maneuver? The way I'm "forced" to "drive" the car to avoid abysmal FE, I'm probably not using more than 100 of the available ponies! ... I don't think I got the engine above 4000rpm the entire week.

I can't see where anybody visits the Giant Vegetable forum so I hope I can get some help here. I have three questions.
1) I have two "Big Max" plants each with a set fruit already. 1 has a fruit a little bigger than a softball and one has a fruit about the size of a baseball. Am I in good shape having them set at this size already 2) My Atlantic Giant which I thought I put in a better spot then the Big Max has just put out a female flower that has not opened and only one male flower has bloomed. Am I behind schedule with this? 3) I bought some seeds listed as "Giant Calabazo Hybrid" I can't find anything on this. It has bloomed many male flowers but the female flowers have not opened. I have this planted on the same mound as the Big Max. Anyone heard of this? we have had no rain for three weeks so I have had to water these veryday but we do have storms and rain moving through today. I would appreciate any insight. thank you,
Follow-Up Postings:
For us to give you truly meaningful answers we need to know what area you live in. 1. If by "good shape" you mean will they make it to full size, they are too small to know for sure, I've lost ones bigger than that. If you mean will they have enough time before frost yes assuming you have at least 2 more months before frost in your area. 2. Now is the time to pollinate, so no if you get some females in the next few weeks. 3. Calabaza is pumpkin in Spanish. I take that name to just mean giant pumpkin hybrid, i.e. some sort of large maxima (like your AG or Big Max) that no effort was made to keep the seeds pure. |
Weirdtrev- Thank you, the "calabaza" pack said 300-400 pounds is possible so that sounds like an Atlantic Giant. That said the vine looks just like the Big Max. Our first frost around here typically isn't until late October. I'm glad I have the two pumpkins set that I do. I tried growing some a few years ago and the squirls would get them as soon as they set. No sign of that problem. Thank you very much for the insight. Hopefully my Atlantic Giants will bloom soon. It has been really hot (aveage high 89) for July and not one drop of rain until today. We got quite a bit of rain today so I think that will help a lot. |

Police probe latest knifepoint robberyStaff Report | January 12,2014Rutland City Police are investigating another knife-point robbery of a convenience store Saturday night.
According to police, shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday, a man wielding a hunting knife entered the Irving convenience store on South Main Street and demanded money.
After receiving some money, the man ran from the store, heading southbound, possibly toward Chase Avenue, police said.
There were no injuries.
Police described the suspect as a male in his late teens or early 20s, approximately 5-feet, 7-inches tall and weighing between 125 pounds and 135 pounds. He was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt with some sort of emblem and a gray scarf or mask covering his face.

Prison Light, The (Newspaper) - April 16, 1892, Waupun, Wisconsin THE PRISON LIGHT. "A LICHT IN THt Vol. 1, No. 4. VorPefeonUcht. TAKE MY HAMD. Ottr pathway o'er the hill of life Is oft-times rough and steep, The clouds so dark and threatening, I scarce can courage keep; I tremble oft and cannot stand. Unless thou, Father, take my hand. The tempter spreads his many snares To trip my weary feet. Perhaps he thinks if once I fall, His victory is complete. Alone, I cannot them withstand, I pray thee, Father, take my hand. Whene'er the way is smooth and bright, I am more apt to stray, Because I on myself rely, Then fall out by the way. All by myself I cannot stand; Bnt Thou wilt hold my hand. The close of life comes on apace, It may be very near, But if I'm walking close to Thee, I have no need to fear; Thon'lt lead me to the shining strand, I trust thee, Father, take tnv hand. A. B, WAUFUN, WIS., For Prison Light THE tlNEtf CLOTHES AND THE FOLDED NAPKIN. The linen clothes laid by St. Luke. "And the napkin that was about His head, not lying with tfaJinenQhthes, but wrapped together in a place by John. What were the designs of this Apparently trivial incident of the Resurrection to show ttie voumtarmess, ueuueiauou and collected ness with which the Savior rose. It was a strong circum- stantial refutation of the fiction which the chief priests and elders sought to promulgate, "Say ye, His disciples oia JeWl- mination. That it is a Herculean tadt to rehabilitate one's character is aft pted fact, anu although we are attempting to crawl under the tent of Daniel and thereby enter a plea of justification for our own misdeeds, yet we firmly believe that many a downfall can be safely attrib- uted to that stern-browed mentor, ex- perience, wherein the child is tutored in a most relentless way. Many parents run the risk of true innocence being destroyed and of hav- ing a cloud settle down over the whole future of the child by not encouraging confidences and explaining openly the things that some one else will h selfish motives. "Give a and hang rona Give a person credit O conquest over it, tenderly took these habiliments in His hands, carefully folded them, wrapping one in a place bv itself, and left them in the charge of angels? K R H For the Prison It is useless, they sav. to continue 7 against society, and that heroism of virtue is like the courage of Don Quix- ote, fighting against a windmill which ia wrecked by a single breath of air. Chivalry, we nrght say. of another century, which should only inspire pity in this. We admit that self de- nial is a stern-faced angel, but if we hold him hard and fast long enough. he will most assuredly whihf er words of ia thr darkness of night stars appear above us and gladly share our loneliness. To be more explicit, thin world is what you and I make it. We oft times choose our path without taking the precau- tion of peeping into the dense thicket ahead of us. If the n-Milt of our ad ing nature, we are apt t lake all the credit to ourselves. If we encounter diflicultes and everything goes wrong, we too often, in the endeavor to es- cape censure and blame our associate-. The Ih-t of youth that all hearts are not true, all protestations of friendship not genuine. and all professed acts of kindness and loyally have proved to be un- matched in many instances, goes far toward marring the grandest pictures nnd us of the most cherished traditions of our Itoyhood. There are times in all our lives when everything goes wrong; (lays that arc cold and dreary, when there seems neither joy- on earth nor hope in heaven. Then it is that we feel the pang of loss, of a wasted life and the bitter wound Vnottnr }mw lirrhtlv VfHl f have flung the burr it will stick. Who, asks a writer, is the of- fender? The young man who is striv- ing for a new character or the sham, pretending friend who conspires to prevent the young man's laudable pur- pose? Let us one by one, in taking leave of this penal institution, go forth fully prepared to battle with the upsand downs of life and convince those who once knew us that we are not wholly (fepraved or devoid of rnanly traits of cha tauter. In doing this we cannot only bring our friends and relatives to a sense of appreciation, but we can cause them to be proud they once knew us. One great trouble frith many of us is the fact that we quite frequently are enabled to point out the flaw in the eye of our associate, but fail to observe a whole Haw mill in our own if we make a specialty of flaw picking we will soon find ourselves encumbered with burdensome thorns. This is the time in life when we should allow memory to linger upon all that !M ;ind rhsirminy and when hope should scatter her most glowing tints O over the fast approaching future, or in the words of the poet, "We are aide to see in this stage of life, glimpses of the truth that the chief glory con- sists not in the remembrance of feats of prowess, nor in the egotistic exer- cise of power, but in the conquest of peevish weaknesses, in the brightness of IIOJK'. and in the discrimination of happiness around." HFNRV PALMER. Love (hinkelh no evil." FASHIONED, BUT GOD SAID SO. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and ail the nations that forget Psalm 9 .17.

Cramer's Take on Top-Searched Stocks
Updated from 7:03 a.m. EDT
The employment data, although grim, was at least expected. But that didn't stop the market from getting hammered all day Friday before finally recovering into positive territory by the close.
It will be very interesting on Monday to see if investors show any follow-through to Friday's late rally.
General Motors (GM - Get Report) shares hit a 75-year low, and most other stocks showed little strength. Positive news is hard to come by, but many investors are looking for a sharp bounce given the oversold conditions.
Will we see this bounce anytime soon? With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look at some of the stocks people have been searching for on TheStreet.com, including Google (GOOG) and UPS (UPS - Get Report), and see what Jim Cramer's had to say about them lately. To read more, visit Stockpickr.com.In Monday trading, shares of Google closed at $290.89 (down 5.73%). Who's on Stockpickr Answers next? Dan Fitzpatrick will be on Stockpickr Answers on Tuesday, March 10 to respond to investing and trading questions posed by members of the Stockpickr community. Not a member?

Energy Solutions International to Host 49CFR Compliance Seminar in Houston 20th May 2011
HOUSTON, May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Energy Solutions International, Inc. (ESI), a world-leading supplier of supply chain logistics and leak detection software solutions for oil and gas pipelines, announced that it is holding a seminar on the 20th of May in the Petroleum Club of Houston to discuss the impact of 49CFR parts 192 and 195.
This free to attend seminar will discuss approaches to compliance and will showcase solutions to the fast approaching deadlines for the new rulings from the Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOTs Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is requiring that pipeline operators define compliance procedures for the new rulings by August of 2011 and implement them by February of 2013.
Specifically with respect to training, each operator must establish a training program and review that program at intervals not to exceed 15 months. The program must provide for training each controller to carry out the roles and responsibilities and must include the following elements:
Responding to abnormal operating conditions likely to occur (1) simultaneously or in sequence; Use of a computerized simulator or non-computerized (tabletop) method for training controllers to recognize abnormal operating (2) conditions; Training controllers on their responsibilities for communication (3) under the operator's emergency response procedures; Training that will provide a controller a working knowledge of the pipeline system, especially during the development of abnormal (4) operating conditions; and For pipeline operating setups that are periodically, but infrequently used, providing an opportunity for controllers to (5) review relevant procedures in advance of their application.
Using the ESI training simulator, companies can run training programs on their pipeline infrastructure that truly reflects the real life operations that the controllers must manage each day. Energy Solutions training program enables pipeline companies to comply with the training requirements of the new rulings. To ensure that these training programs are as complete as possible ESI have worked with SCADA vendors such as Invensys to integrate the data flow and information exchange.
The seminar on the 20th of May will feature presentations from former Conoco Pipe Line Company, President and leading industry consultant; Tom Miesner, and from ESI and Invensys.
Further details of the event and how to attend can be obtained by contacting Rebecca Howell of ESI at email@example.com or on +12152473359.

Energy Solutions International, Inc. (ESI) is a leading global supplier of pipeline management software for the oil and gas industry.

UPPER DUBLIN — If only all district title games were like the one between Central Bucks West and Neshaminy on Thursday night.
It was a classic for any sport, but in this case, it was boys volleyball, and you won't see better at this level.
With the raucous crowd roaring on every point, the sides went back and forth for exactly two hours of gripping action before the Bucks came away with a 3-2 win to secure the District One Class AAA title.
"That was a great fight between two really good teams," Neshaminy coach Kevin Roode said.
"West is the best team we've played all year, and our hats are off to them. Nobody had a decided advantage until the fifth game, and they just had more left in the tank they we did."
After four wild sets that saw Neshaminy win the first one and the fourth one, it was the unbeaten Bucks who turned it on in the race to 15 points as they jumped out to a 5-0 lead and didn't let Neshaminy get any closer than four points en route to a 15-8 clinching victory.
"Neshaminy played great volleyball, and we just came back after we lost the first game and did a fantastic job," West senior standout Christian Rupert said.
"They really pushed us to the limit. We needed everybody to be on for us tonight, and that's what happened. It was just a total team effort."
West, now 22-0, will open up play in the state tournament Wednesday against the fourth-place finisher from District Three, either Hempfield or Cumberland Valley.
Neshaminy (16-2) will take on Emmaus, the District 11 runner-up, on Wednesday. Both games will be at Abington, with Neshaminy starting at 6 p.m. and the Bucks at 7:30 p.m.
"These guys decided that they would not be shaken," West coach Todd Miller said. "They've worked so hard and succeeded as a team. I'm just so proud of them.
"They shared in this and my greatest wish is to see them succeed."
This one featured two of the state's, and the nation's top players, in Rupert, a Brigham Young recruit, and Neshaminy's Ryan Jamison, who is headed to Loyola University of Chicago, which recently won the NCAA championship.
Rupert delivered 25 crucial kills and Jamison did the same with 26. For long stretches it was whatever you can do, I can do better between the two.
What also helped the Bucks — last year's district runners-up — was their defense, especially their blocking, as senior Jackson Cox turned away 10 shots and Rupert added eight blocks. Thirteen kills from senior Joel Klapper were also enormous, as were the unheard of 63 assists provided by senior Matt Hennigan.
Not to be outdone, Neshaminy received 45 assists, six kills and seven digs from senior Chase Fullen and seven kills from senior Steve Compton.
"I think Ryan and I kind of fed off of each other a little," Rupert said. "It was just a great match overall."
Notes: Pennridge won the consolation game 3-1 over North Penn to secure the third and final berth in the state tournament. It will be the sixth consecutive trip to states for the Rams. Pennridge will face District 11 champ Parkland at Emmaus in Wednesday's opening round.

An All-American Getaway
Lake Geneva captures Independence Day spirit all summer long
Since the mid-nineteenth century, Lake Geneva has serenely stood as an escape from the daily grind, a place where one can live a more charmed life—if only for a few days. Long a weekend and summer destination for wealthy Chicagoans, today it beckons anyone with a penchant for playing rounds of golf, enjoying delicious food, strolling through downtown shops and galleries, and relaxing along the lakefront.
SEE: After checking out the beach, it's time to see Lake Geneva's namesake waterway from a new perspective. At the downtown Riviera Docks, buy a ticket for the Lake Geneva Cruise Line's full lake tour. Take a seat on the Walworth (head to the open-air top deck if the weather is nice) and settle in for a two-hour excursion. A guide points out jaw-dropping examples of turn-of-the-century architectural styles—colonial, Italianate, Georgian and more—and you'll surely recognize a few homeowners' names. The cruise is an informative and fun introduction, both physically and historically, to the lake.
STAY: The sprawling Grand Geneva is a destination in its own right. The town's only AAA Four-Diamond resort underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation last year, which included a new outdoor pool deck and an outdoor lounge area with a sleek fireplace that's a popular spot at night. Also fun come sunset is a visit to the lobby lounge, where a pianist entertains with live music. The 355 guestrooms also are newly revamped, with classic décor, bathrooms outfitted with granite countertops and TVs embedded in vanity mirrors, and balconies overlooking lush landscaping. Also within the resort's 1,300 acres are three restaurants, several shops and facilities for tennis and horseback riding.
PLAY: Challenging courses set on stunning grounds make it hard to find a better spot to hit the links than the Geneva National Golf Club. Each day, two of the three championship courses—designed by masters Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Lee Trevino—are open for public play (the third is reserved for the club's private members). Each course is unique; the Palmer course boasts varied terrain, rolling hills, fast greens and lake views. After the exercise of eighteen holes, relax and rehash the game swing by swing over a round of beers and a snack at the club's outdoor patio.
EAT: For dinner, head to Sopra, an American bistro on Main Street. The long, narrow restaurant with muted gold walls, exposed ductwork and dark floors brings a dose of city style to the small resort town, as do chefs Simon Cumming and Roxanne Spruance, who spent years cooking in Chicago eateries. An extensive drinks list—with the best beer selection in town, Spruance points out—is far longer than the dinner menu, which constantly changes to take advantage of local and seasonal ingredients. Dishes draw influences from Spanish, French, Italian and Asian cuisines and range from classic grilled salmon to adventurous lobster won tons.
Celebrate the Fourth: If you find yourself in Lake Geneva on Fourth of July weekend, check out fireworks displays at Fontana Beach or the Grand Geneva. For more information, call (800) 345-1020 or visit lakegenevawi.com.

Luxury Watch Brands – More Than Mere A Timepiece
If glamour is what you mainly want your luxurious timepiece to represent, nothing says glamour more than a wristwatch decorated with diamonds or sparkling gemstones. This type of timepiece will definitely add charm and class to a suit or a beautiful dress. A slender gold wristwatch adorned with diamonds can even be a replacement for a woman's bracelet; perfect to wear during dinner parties or cocktail events.
What Sets A Luxury Watch Apart
What really distinguishes a timepiece and determines its value is in its interior mechanics. Watch enthusiasts in the world general prefer a timepiece with automatic mechanical movements or manual-wind. Usually, one will find automatic mechanical movements in the most elite of luxury watches, because it best shows the talent of a seasoned watchmaker than a watch with quartz movement. However, a quartz movement compared to a mechanical one is more precise and comes more often with beautiful exteriors.
Hopefully, these guides will help you determine the right timepiece to best represent you or your purpose in buying one from these wide selections of luxury watch brands.

Neil Young Has New Spider Species Named After Him
Neil Young has had a newly discovered species of trapdoor spider named after him, reports Reuters news agency in Los Angeles today (May 12).
East Carolina University biologist, Jason Bond who discovered the spider in Jefferson County, Alabama, and being a fan of Young, decided to name the arachnid 'Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi'.
In a statement, Bond said: "There are rather strict rules about how you name new species."
He added: "As long as these rules are followed you can give a new species just about any name you please. With regards to Neil Young, I really enjoy his music and have had a great appreciation of him as an activist for peace and justice."
Bond discovered the new spider species in 2007 and has now "confirmed through the spider's DNA that the 'Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi' is an identifiable, separate species of spider within the trapdoor genus."

"These cards are lovely. The paper is thick and nice to the touch. We personalized the back with a picture and a personal message, and they are just charming. Will definitely order again."
"My daughter's birthday invitation is so cute and elegant at the same time! It's not overbearing. Moms have already commented on the Princess invitation and how nice it is and I already recommended the Tiny Prints company."
"I believe these were baby shower invites, but I used them for a 4th birthday party invite for my daughter and they turned out so cute! My daughter loved them and we got lots of compliments from our guests. The paper quality was great, as usual from Tiny Prints. We customized with a picture of my daughter on the back and a little poem about daughters."
"I ordered these "peace, love & cupcakes" invites for my daughter's 7th birthday party. She loved them, and they fit perfectly with what she had in mind. Friends have even commented on how cute they are. I have used Tiny Prints in the past, and will continue to use them."
"We are doing an owl theme, with the colors pink and green, for my daughter's birthday...So this invite was perfect! The personalization choices were key in choosing this invite as well. I used white font for the headline and my daughter's name. Paper and print quality were excellent. I ordered the rectangle/standard envelopes (free)that would fit square cards to save on postage. The invites we're shipped on time and arrived a few days earlier than scheduled. Very happy with this purchase!"

We're not sure what happened, but after a promising start our budding writers of books didn't come in today to celebrate the end of National Novel Writing Month.
About a half-dozen hopefuls showed up at the kickoff to the month back in early November. But at our event scheduled today to celebrate their accomplishments, we had no one show up.
Maybe that means they didn't meet their 50,000-word-in-a-month goal. Writing more than 1,000 words a day is a pretty daunting goal.
Or maybe they are still writing!
We hope it's the latter.
A new graphic posted by Library Journal shows the number of books written about presidents over the years.
Abe Lincoln is at the top of the list, with 3,584 titles. He's followed by George Washington with 1,909. Then, John Kennedy is third with 1,500.
The list ends with Jimmy Carter, who is the subject of only 292 books.
People publish books for all kinds of reasons, and making money is close to the No. 1 reason. So, Abe's popularity among publishers probably reflects his sellability, among other things.
Not many books on Polk, I guess. Or Taft. Or Taylor. Or even Tyler. What's to say about Arthur? Or Cleveland? Or Fillmore?
Heck, I probably wouldn't even remember those names if it weren't for the fact that I had to navigate the streets of Amarillo back when I was growing up there, and the main ones were named after the presidents -- in order of election.
Voters in only four elections earlier this month in Texas communities faced a question about whether to support the issuance of bonds for library improvements.
They were in Round Rock, Val Verde, Friendswood and Seguin. My information comes from a new page at the Texas Comptroller's website that lists the outcome of all Texas bond elections.
The four library issues all passed voter muster.
By far the largest proposal was in Round Rock north of Austin, where voters okayed a $23.2 million bond issue. Seguin approved $14.8 million, and Val Verde, $6 million. The Friendswood proposal was for only $2.5 million.
Progressive communities all.
Students in Wimberley High School will soon have iPads on a loaner basis.
Seniors will get them first, according to a Q&A posted at the school district website. Distribution begins next week.
Given the profile of the Wimberley area, my guess is that this will not be a major transition for the majority, many of whom already have smart phones and perhaps even iPads or laptops.
But for those who don't have these devices, this will be a great tool for them to use to get plugged in like everyone else.
The Q&A says that for now the district is looking at which textbooks might be accessed in electronic versions, but will still be using paper texts for the time being.
From my point of view, the transition to electronic texts cannot happen fast enough. They will be cheaper and they will be more easily updated.
Government and history texts, in particular, should be in electronic form, because the world is so rapidly changing.
Congratulations to WISD for taking this step forward.
Which authors are most popular with Wimberley library patrons?
Director Carolyn Manning ran some numbers last week to figure that out.
She decided to compile a list of authors who are the most in demand, based on the number of reserves they typically draw when a new book is about to come out.
These authors always have 21 or more holds on them: Baldacci, Child, Connelly, Evanovich, Grisham and Patterson.
Another 26 authors have 10 reserves time after time.
We do try to buy multiple copies of the authors who are most in demand, but we sure can't buy 21, so there is always going to be something of a wait.

Louisiana-Pacific Corporation Announces Receipt Of Noteholder Consents, Closing Of Debt Offering, Early Settlement Of Tender Offer And Consent Solicitation And Call For Redemption
Louisiana-Pacific Corporation ("LP") (NYSE:LPX) today announced the early tender results for its previously announced offer to purchase and solicitation of consents for its 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the "2017 Notes"). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 18, 2012 (the "Consent Deadline"), holders of approximately $233.8 million, or 95.92% of the outstanding principal amount, of the 2017 Notes had validly tendered their 2017 Notes for purchase by LP and validly delivered their consents to amend the indenture governing the 2017 Notes and the related intercreditor agreement.
LP also announced the completion of its previously announced offering of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.500% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes"). The issuance and sale of the 2020 Notes generated net proceeds of approximately $342.0 million, after deducting discounts and commissions and payment of related transaction expenses. LP intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the 2020 Notes to repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire all of its outstanding the 2017 Notes, to pay related transaction costs and for other general corporate purposes. The completion of the offering of the 2020 Notes satisfied the financing condition for LP's previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to any and all of the outstanding 2017 Notes.
In addition, LP announced that it has accepted for purchase and paid for all 2017 Notes validly tendered at or before the Consent Deadline, and that it has delivered an irrevocable notice of redemption for the redemption of all 2017 Notes not validly tendered at or before the Consent Deadline for redemption on June 20, 2012.
LP's tender offer and consent solicitation are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in LP's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 7, 2012 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (the "Letter of Transmittal"). The tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on June 4, 2012 (the "Expiration Time"), unless extended or earlier terminated. Following the Consent Deadline, tendered 2017 Notes may not be withdrawn and the related consents delivered may not be revoked, except as required by law. No consents delivered after the Consent Deadline will be accepted or paid for, and holders of 2017 Notes tendered after the Consent Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time will be entitled to receive the tender offer consideration of $956.17 per $1,000 principal amount of 2017 Notes at maturity but will not be entitled to receive any consent payment.

More reviews by youdroppedabalmonme
This was part of my mom's recent surprise gift to me: a bunch of her perfumes from the '80s and '90s that she no longer wears (having moved on to Philosophy stuff, which to me all smells like soap). I have diverse tastes in fragrance and can handle a scent with "presence," so I braved it and sprayed on the bottle of Tresor parfum (not EDP!) she handed me. Wowza. I finally figured out what this scent reminds me of: old-fashioned face powder, back when they used to heavily scent face powder. My spritz of Tresor made me feel like I was a '50s dame touching up my matte red lips in a car mirror, with a cinch-waisted pink crinoline dress and a matching scarf and sunglasses. Almost hyper-girlie. Soft, yes, but not subtle. I will wear this very lightly when I'm feeling my powdery-pink-glamour vibe, but not a favorite.

This has been my favourite perfume since I was a little girl. I always have a bottle and try to keep it's use to occasions since it's not exactly cheap.
The absolutely perfect perfume that should stand along side Chanel No. 5 as a classic. It is a bit on the pricey side and the packaging could be a bit more modern, but I guess that is part of its charm. I truly adore this perfume from my teenage years to my not-so-teenage years and will continue to so for years to come.

My mother used to wear this when I was in my early teens and I used to borrow some every once in a while. When I thought of buying something for my mother in law, this immediately came to me as a perfect mom fragrance. She loved it. I love it too, though it's not a head over heels type of love...We are just great friends :)

TRESOR = TERRIFYING. this fragrance is truly DISGUSTING. my mom uses this perfume and it smells like straight up rubbing alcohol. another reviewer compared it to "ROTTING FRUIT NEXT TO AN OPEN WOUND" and that description pretty much dead on. Tresor has a biting, choking, and offensive smell, my mother used to apply it while we were in the car and my eyes would water and my throat would close up even though i sat all the way in the back seat! VERY STRONG SMELL. fruity and spicy it burns my nose. offensive, and it lingers and lasts and stinks... i couldn't see how men would like it.
mmm this scent sparks some memories
its a nice scent but it seems a bit too old fashioned?
the amber colour kinda pus me off
reminds me of whiskey
I wrote that I would not buy this again, but the truth is, I've been duped by this before, most likely because Kate Winslet has since become the spokesmodel for this scent. And I do love her. The scent itself is great...but far too strong for me. It teeters on artificial and synthetic (i am reviewing the Elixir which is more concentrated than edt) and it's got a sharp edge which when freshly sprayed is nearly more than I can stand. It does soften quite a bit but I find that despite its intial shock value (I do love the uniqueness of the apricots) it dries down to something very soft and not noticeable. How odd. It changes little from first spray to drydown (minus the harsh factor).

IMO, its a close to perfect fragrance.
My mom used to wear this perfume when I was a little girl and I absolutely hated it and I even remember even expressing to her how much I disliked how she smelled whenever she wore this perfume. Fast forward about 15 years and I receive a sample of Tresor at the Lancome counter. I decided to try the sample even though I had a negative preconception about the fragrance. It completely blew my mind how good this smelled. I love the fruitiness at first and then the flowery musk that stays behind. I cannot keep from smelling my wrist throughout the day whenever I wear this one.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a lovely warm peach -rose - amber fragrance, but I wish it was a bit more complex and long lasting . I have the edp - and while I do find it almost too strong initially, I find that it just doesn't last as long as I wish and would expect from this type of strong floriental. Very comforting. As an interesting aside for fans of this fragrance, this is pretty similar to fragonard "lune de miel" , at least the solid perfume version which I own.

We are considering adding boxwoods to our back garden; however, we don't want a formal look. Rather, we'd like the boxwoods to stay more "natural," and in keeping with the rest of the yard that has a more meadowy feel (coneflowers, irises, etc., etc.). In my previous experience with boxwoods I've always seen them very manicured, so I wonder if anyone can share their experience of leaving the plant to its own devices. Pictures would be awesome, too. Thanks. |

If you're looking for something with a more "meadowy" feel, why not research plants that are native to your region that might be found growing at woods' edge. Since they're native, they should be well suited to your local environmental conditions, require minimal maintenance, and provide a "sense of place", all while supporting beneficia wildlife like songbirds, butterflies, honeybees & native bees and other pollinators & beneficial insects (which, by the way, will enjoy those coneflowers, especially if you leave the seed heads on for the goldfinches). Boxwoods are prone to some pest problems so are likely to require some maintenance. You don't say where you are, how much width and height you are looking for, what environmental conditions are (sun or shade, heat, cold, soil type, moisture levels, wind conditions, salt conditions, etc.) whether you want evergreen or not, so I can't help you any more than that. |

Of course boxwoods can be informal - just don't shear/manicure them!! Shrubs will have an inherent growth habit - rounded or mounded, loose and arching, open, leggy, tree-like, caning/multi-stemmed, etc. It is just a matter of researching the plant you like and seeing if its growth habit fits what you are looking for (as well as its appropriateness to the location). Unsheared boxwood looks like this: But you are certainly not restricted to only boxwoods. Depending on your location, Japanese holly (Ilex crenata), spreading yews or sweet box (Sarcococca) could work equally as well. And then there are scores of deciduous shrubs you could use. |
- Posted by mad_gallica Z5 Eastern NY (My Page) on Thu, Aug 22, 13 at 16:46
The big advantages of box are that it is evergreen and apparently unpalatable to deer. It's a rare combination. |
Thanks for the helpful responses. We're in the California Bay Area. Most of the plantings we're looking at are drought tolerant, but we have one small area set aside for my wife to create her "Vermont meadow" idyll (with drip irrigation). The boxwood was suggested to add some structure to a transitional area between deck and retaining wall. I like the fact that it's evergreen. I'll also look up those other options. Thanks! |
