Hi! Two years ago I bought a bunch of amaryllis bulbs and planted them in containers. It was late summer, but they set leaves and flowered right away. After the flowers dried, I expected the bulbs to go dormant, but they just went into cycles of producing new leaves over and over again. Last summer was incredibly dry and hot, so 25 months later they finally went dormant for the first time. I dug them up and they look really healthy and HUGE - I'd say bigger than a handball. Their natural cycle here in Brazil is to flower in september and then the leaves die by late march. Is it possible that they didn't bloom these past 2 years because they were adjusting, since during the 1st year they were completely off their natural cycle? Or could it be something else? Also, should I leave them in their containers or is it better to keep them completely dry? Thank you! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi! When you buy bulbs they have usually been stored in such a manner so that when the customer gets them in their hands, they're ready to bloom. This is what happened with yours! Many people on this list grow their bulbs as evergreen, and don't force a dormancy. Typically, the bulbs will go dormant during the cold part of the year. During this time, they don't need water, and it's okay to leave them in the pots as long as they stay dry. Otherwise, they may rot. If you feel more comfortable taking them out of the soil during the dormancy, that should be okay too. I leave mine in pots in Texas so I don't have to continually repot and disturb the roots. I have pretty good luck getting them to bloom again. In their natural cycle, after they've been dormant, you'll see them start to green up again. Typically they will send up a bloom scape, but some may send up a few leaves first. Once you see green, you can start watering again. Good luck!!! |
Hi, I purchased an Amaryllis back in December of 2011. It bloomed beautifully as you can see in the next picture. Since then I've never been lucky enough to have it bloom again. That's over 2 years without blooms. It always has leaves on it. I never fertilized it and just kept watering it. It lived on the sill of a south facing window. I never knew if it had gone dormant, which I doubt, because it always had green leaves on it. I never took it out of the pot nor did I place it in a cool dark basement. Last August, I moved from New York City where I lived and purchased the plant. I cut off the leaves and pulled the bulb off the pot and packed it in a plastic bag. I now live in Panama City, Panama in Central America. It is hot and humid here most of the year. The night time temperature does not go below 72 here in the city. I planted the bulb after it spent about 4 months in a plastic bag. It has tons of leaves now as you can see in the next picture. I noticed that the leaves are not as firm looking and green as they were a couple of months ago. Does that mean that they are going to turn brown and fall off? I don't see any new leaves sprouting out. It's never had 7 on it at the same time either. I just started fertilizing it in the last two weeks with miracle gro all purpose plant food 24-8-16. I am watering it every other day very lightly, trying to keep it moist and not wet. It's in a balcony so it doesn't get rained on. Keeping in mind that I now live in the tropics where the temperature is high all the time. My questions are: Bottom line, will it ever bloom again? Thanks |

Rangers Small Moves are NOT Enough!
According to TSN.ca/nhl
The Wild sent Pascal Dupuis to the Rangers in exchange for Adam Hall.
Well that's it the Rangers season is turning around now…..and they should win the cup… yeah that'll happen now.
The Avery move was good, already going to be a fan favorite as long as stupid penalties don't happen.
But the Rangers need something to change and Dupuis isn't it.
HTR STANDINGS CONTEST – AllStar Break Results

!Blitzkrieg! of the Penguins
Forget the March of the Penguins, this is an all out Blitzkrieg.
They have just handed Nashville, the best team in the league, their hats and literally kick them out the door. In there own building no less!
With the recent success of the Pittsburgh Penguins I wonder just how far they can go.
Karlis Skrastins to break a record!
Tonight, Avs defenseman Karlis Skrastins played in his 486th consecutive game which ties him with Tim Horton for the longest consecutive games streak by a defensemen in NHL history. He can break the record Thursday night against Atlanta.
Samsonov Requests Trade
Sergei Samsonov's agent confirmed to the Journal de Montreal that his client wants out of Montreal and would like to be traded prior to the February 27th deadline.
This sums up what it's like as a Leaf fan….
I'm posting this more as a fun topic, I am not "crying" or "whining" it was simply an email I received and thought it was "oh so true" and worthy of posting on this Maple Leafs board. But I'm sure many anti-Leaf fans will (as always) be on here ready to bash….kinda makes you wonder why they're checking the "Leafs Rumor" Board though.
Was last year's deadline really that bad?
Everyone talked about how boring last years NHL trade deadline was. But was it really all that bad considering what happened in years previous?
Bochenski to Bruins…
According to TSN and RDS, Blackhawks traded Brandon Bochenski to Bruins for a conditional draft pick and forward Kris Versteeg….
Why would the Habs want Aucoin?
One had to wonder where this rumor came from and why someone would think it makes sense. But if you go to the TSN website and look at their trade deadline rumor list there it is the first player listed.
Tucker should go
Although the Leafs are playing some good hockey right now, they need to think about their future.

Legislator admits to having "egg on my face" after getting special fishing regulations for lake on which he has a cabin.
Satveer Chaudhary
It was an unusual move that immediately raised eyebrows.
There was Sen. Satveer Chaudhary, rushing onto the floor of the Minnesota House last Wednesday as legislators were about to approve a complicated fish and game proposal.
Chaudhary kneeled at the desk of Rep. David Dill -- who was presenting the bill at the time -- and whispered an urgent request.
Could Dill quickly insert special language to improve walleye fishing on Fish Lake Reservoir? Although few in the House chamber realized it at the time, Chaudhary owns a cabin on the northeastern Minnesota lake.
Dill agreed, and the bill was adopted. Now the episode has exploded, inflaming tempers all the way from the State Capitol to northeastern Minnesota and back.
Dill argues he was duped. Chaudhary confesses that he has "egg on my face." The state Department of Natural Resources opposed Chaudhary's request as soon as it found out about it, in the waning hours of the legislative session.
Chaudhary, a DFLer from Fridley who was the chief author of the fish and game bill in the Senate, says he may seek to repeal the Fish Lake Reservoir language, partly because of the criticism aimed at him.
"That was an error on my part," said Chaudhary. He says he was supplied with "completely wrong" information that indicated a large majority of residents near the lake thought the reservoir walleyes were puny and wanted state officials to take action that would improve fishing.
Chaudhary denied he was motivated because he owned a cabin on the lake, where he fishes regularly. "I'm not sure how I benefit from it. I'm not lining my pockets with anything," he said, maintaining he does not have a conflict of interest.
It is not Chaudhary's first brush with controversy.
Two years ago he was cleared by a Senate ethics panel over allegations that he hosted a cable TV outdoors show and approached Arctic Cat and a carpenters union as possible sponsors. He was backing legislative measures favorable to them at the time. Chaudhary also was sold a snowmobile by Arctic Cat at a discount.
The events at the State Capitol last week involving Fish Lake Reservoir occurred in the blur of the final stages of an almost four-month legislative session. The language amounted to a single paragraph buried in a 59-page bill.
It asked the DNR to adopt special regulations that could restrict walleye catches on Fish Lake Reservoir, a 3,000-acre lake northwest of Duluth. Moments after Chaudhary got Dill to insert the paragraph, Dill persuaded House members to approve the bill.
Three nights later, at 9 p.m. last Saturday, Chaudhary and Dill -- who co-chaired a House-Senate conference panel on the legislation -- presided as the panel gave final approval to the legislation, which included the Fish Lake Reservoir language.
As the meeting was about to end, Chaudhary informed the panel: "My cabin is on Fish Lake Reservoir ... [but] I don't believe it is a conflict."
Chaudhary also reminded panel members that the Fish Lake Reservoir language was added by the House -- and that he was a member of the Senate.
'I need you to do this'
"I was standing at my desk on the House floor with the microphone in my hand, and I looked down and Chaudhary is kneeling next to my desk," said Dill, a DFLer from Crane Lake and the chief House author of the game and fish bill. "It looks pretty awkward, really."
He said Chaudhary told him, "I need you to do this Fish Lake amendment." Dill said he inserted the language as a "courtesy" to the senator. But with controversy erupting in northeastern Minnesota, Dill said, he has since talked to Chaudhary and told him the episode "made me look bad."
Dill said he knew Chaudhary owned a cabin on the lake. But, he said, Chaudhary persuaded him that lake residents overwhelmingly favored the amendment. He said Chaudhary even showed him an April 1 letter from St. Louis County Commissioner Dennis Fink, claiming that residents wanted the regulations.
But Fink says he pulled back from that assertion when he found that it wasn't necessarily true and says he informed Chaudhary before the legislation was finally passed.
Deserae Hendrickson, the DNR area fisheries supervisor in Duluth, said that a small crowd showed up at a March meeting and that about 60 percent of those favored "doing something" regarding the lake. The legislation itself does not specify what should be done to the lake, but instructs DNR Commissioner Mark Holsten to act by March 2011.
Hendrickson said she doubted that limiting fishing on the lake would help, because Fish Lake Reservoir was only moderately fished to begin with, logging only 26 "angler hours" of fishing per acre per year, compared with a statewide average of 35 angler hours. She said the DNR would have to reduce fishing by as much as 40 percent to make any difference and said the lake was simply a victim of nature. "The fish in this lake just don't grow very fast," she said.
Holsten said the Fish Lake Reservoir language was symbolic of special legislative requests that frustrate him. "This particular conference committee," said Holsten, referring to the panel co-chaired by Chaudhary, "... [made] some very significant changes throughout the entire bill."

1/1 Photo of Healthy Walnut (Or Chocolate) Cranberry Oatmeal Chewy Cookies
Total Time:
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
1 hr 15 mins
1 hr
15 mins
I Can't Believe It's Healthy's Note:
These are such unique cookies! These cookies become very thin when they cook, and the addition of brown rice syrup (better for you then sugar... has complex carbs to keep you fuller longer) makes the cookie very chewy and almost slightly sticky. You have never tasted anything like it!
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 1/3 cup margarine
- 1 tablespoon smooth applesauce
- 2/3 cup brown rice syrup
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rolled oats, quick cooking
- 3 -4 tablespoons chopped walnuts or 3 -4 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
- 3 -3 1/2 tablespoons craisins (or raisins)
- 1In a dry saucepan on medium, toast the walnuts (if using) and oats together until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- 2In a large bowl, beat margarine(at room temp) and applesauce with brown sugar until light and fluffy (with electric beaters).
- 3add egg whites, brown rice syrup, and vanilla and beat until smooth, about a minute.
- 4In a smaller bowl, combine flours, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- 5Mix into creamed mixture. Stir in oats, walnuts (or chocolate chips), and craisins.
- 6Chill dough for 30 minutes.
- 7Drop dough on parchment paper-covered cookie sheet (dont flatten tops).
- 8Bake at 330° F 12-15 minutes or until spread out and very lightly browned. They will be flat and the tops will have small bubble pockets, and though they may look soft and not done, they are! Allow cookies to cool slightly then place cookies on cooling rack. Use a very good spatchula or else they will be tricky to get off the pan without breaking!
- 9Cookies will be quite delicate and slightly sticky (especially when hot), so when you store them, be sure their edges arn't touching eachother and use wax paper to line between the layers. ENJOY!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

No Deficit Deal as Deadline Looms
"Congress's last-gasp deficit-cut talks broke into two tracks Friday, with
members of a special committee continuing to seek an elusive $1.2 trillion deal
while party leaders discussed a smaller, backup plan in case they fail," the
Wall Street Journal reports.
"Talk of a Plan B reflected the bleak outlook facing the committee as it heads
into its final days. It technically has until Wednesday, but the real deadline
is midnight Monday, since members by law need 48 hours to scrutinize any plan
before voting on it."
New York Times: "Despite time running out on the committee created by the summer
agreement to raise the federal debt limit, negotiations were in disarray, with
Republicans and Democrats even disputing what precisely divided them. One panel
member said that he still had slim hope for a deal but that it would take an
extraordinary development to end the stalemate and avoid a series of automatic
cuts in 2013 that would reduce federal services and make substantial reductions
in Pentagon spending."

The Near Poor
New census data to be released next week finds one in three Americans -- about
100 million people -- is in poverty or just above it, the New York Times
"After a lost decade of flat wages and the worst downturn since the Great
Depression, the findings can be thought of as putting numbers to the bleak
national mood -- quantifying the expressions of unease erupting in protests and
political swings. They convey levels of economic stress sharply felt but until
now hard to measure."

General Finance Corporation (NASDAQ:GFN) (NASDAQ:GFNCL) (NASDAQ:GFNCZ) ("General Finance") today announced that its subsidiary, GFN Australasia Holdings Pty Limited (to be renamed Royal Wolf Holdings Limited, if converted to a public company) ("Royal Wolf"), is considering a proposal to undertake an initial public offering of its ordinary shares ("Shares") in Australia and apply for listing of its Shares on the Australian Securities Exchange ("Australian IPO"). General Finance intends to retain an indirect majority interest in Royal Wolf subsequent to the Australian IPO.
A final decision on whether or not to proceed with the Australian IPO has not yet been made and the offer remains subject to, among other things, pricing and execution of an underwriting agreement on acceptable terms. If the Australian IPO proceeds, Royal Wolf will file a prospectus with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission ("ASIC"), and eligible persons, which do not include persons in the United States, will need to complete an application form that will be in or will accompany the prospectus for the Australian IPO.
If successful, General Finance intends to use the net proceeds from the Australian IPO for, among other things, satisfying General Finance's put obligation to repurchase the 13.8% minority interest in Royal Wolf's immediate holding company from Bison Capital Australia L.P., reducing senior and subordinated borrowings, paying the costs of the Australian IPO and for general working capital purposes.
In the planned Australian IPO it is proposed that the offering will include a broker firm offer and an institutional offer. The offering will not be available to persons who are in the United States. In connection with the proposed Australian IPO, certain information about Royal Wolf will be disclosed to prospective investors. The information disclosed to prospective investors will include the information attached to this news release.
No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved of the contents of this news release. The securities to be offered have not been and will not be registered, and may not be offered or sold, in the United States absent an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A prospectus for the securities will be made available in Australia when the securities are offered and any permitted applicant under the terms of that prospectus will need to complete the application form that will be in or will accompany the prospectus. This press release is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy Shares of Royal Wolf.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Hello, I picked up this guy recently, but it was not labeled. I'd like to nail down a name. The skin looks like my Pleiospilos nelii, but obviously the form is very different. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Also, I repotted it from its original container. The plant seems tenuously attached to the root system, something I'm hoping some good sun and a bit more room to grow will cure. Any suggestions otherwise? |
Anyone? |

Sorry it's not fast enough for you, but pls. allow more than one day for people to respond. Sometimes it takes a few days &/or maybe no one who is currently around knows its ID. Looks like something in the Crassulacae family to me. Also, tho you didn't ask, that mix still looks very peaty from here & is likely to be a problem. I'd at least 30-40% Perlite to it. |
It was disappearing to the second page and I was just bumping it. I just wanted to make sure it didn't get lost. Next time I will state that - I could see how a brief reply might seem impatient. Thanks for your help. |

Sorry, I mean to type I'd 'add' at least 30-40% perlite ... Thx for clarifying, didn't realize you were just bringing it back up top. |

It does look like a Pleiospilos of sorts. I was researching earlier, but hadn't figured anything definitive, so didn't say. I should've posted earlier what I thought it might be. Also figured Rian or Ryan (Beachplants or hanzrobo) would jump in here (know more about these guys). BUT...one has a new baby & the other a biz to run, besides 2 youngsters...SO, it may be a while before they show. So, I'll say this...it looks similar to Pleiospilos compactus, but not quite. =) |
One more bump and then I'll let it fade away: My best guess is Pleiospilos bolusii, but the pictures of other specimen don't match. Maybe something else Pleiospilos, but I can't seem to find good pictures of other species. |
- Posted by rosemariero z11/24 So Calif (My Page) on Thu, Jun 20, 13 at 18:03
I believe P. bolusii leaves are much wider. Also, it is my understanding it will only have 2 leaves at a time. If it ever blooms, I hear it smells like coconut! P. compactus ssp. canus still looks like a good possibility to me. See link below. It's okay to bump up your post to refresh memory, esp. when the board is hot & running wild! =) |

Hotel Tatra(3 stars)
Namestie 1. maja 5 View on mapHotel review overview
Good business hotel in Bratislava
- Recommended hotel

- Business trip
- May 2014
The hotel is recently renovated old-style building (around 200 rooms) but very clean and features a big car-park for a decent price. Breakfast was OK though I'd like a better variety of food. I had a good feeling about the hotel overall and would stay again.

Excellent location practically near the presidential palace (Hozdovo namestie) and a strategic bus stop, from where you can get to Hlavna stanica. The Old Town is in a short walking distance, very friendly and helpful staff, you can buy and send postcards right from the hotel, good breakfast and a welcome drink, nice and comfortable room with a view on the city. read hotel review

Different rooms, different quality:
try to get a room to the back side. The noise from the street is horrible, especially in the morning rush hour. The street is leading to a main crossing. Busses and cars are waiting in line bcs. of traffic lights
If front side, try to avoid the x12, x13 rooms (x = floor) - when the lift arrives it always makes a very lound ding-dong, you also hear in your room on the back side.
And avoid room x31 - this rooms have a window to a inner patio, where the air con system is ... noisy and the view is non existing.
Normally the rooms are clean. The rooms are simple equipped: TV, 2 chairs, small table, work space table with lan connection or WIFI (depends where you are in the hotel). Prefer LAN - the WIFI system is unstable. The beds are really good! Not soft, rather hard - but comfortable.
Breakfast is simple and poor. Fresh fruit salat and salat selection is the highlight. They prepare fried eggs - they are waiting for you. how long?? Danish sweets are ok, apples fresh, yoghurt ok. The ambiance of the breakfast room is strange -> no ambiance.
On my last visit, they did not make my room at all (just made the bed) - no cleaning, no garbage was taken
For a cheap business trip ok, for holidays not. read hotel review

Mee, my wife and two our kids have stayed in Hotel Tatra for one night while travelling through Bratislava. Location of the hotel is perfect, it is in the strict center of Bratislava which makes sightseeing very comfortable. Room was OK, staff was very nice. A guy in the pub was very helpfull when I needed hot water to make baby milk. Breakfast was nothing special. read hotel review

After complaining, that a room only a few tv-program and in another no program receive, we were comforted, that a technician coming soon, when shifts at the front desk we were told, that is a whole week take. In the hotel restaurant you eat on saturday at 18 o'clock all alone, the waitress one must in the bar find and ask the orders. There are only two species meat (chicken and turkey) you can three sauces select. And the usual nebenspeisen (potatoes. An old portion rice. Etc.). The breakfast buffet is old fried eggs (egg white was at the ... edges yellowish), two sorts of schinkel, one sort of cheese and rather 'outlawed' cheese. On the question about one choco for my child i got a moccacino. It is further to reports, that everywhere in the hotel on four stars - star announced. Itself on the homepage. Www. Hoteltatra. Sk
Finally can be said, that the hotel not an advertisement for the wonderful town bratislava is! read hotel review

Black Lips "Bad Kids"
My Morning Jacket "I'm Amazed"
What's on your mind tonight?
Late Late Nite FDL: Where Have All Our Powers Gone |
By: Eureka Springs Monday December 8, 2008 10:00 pm |
Black Lips "Bad Kids"
My Morning Jacket "I'm Amazed"
What's on your mind tonight?
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
What ahppened to this?
Hi ES and FLRs How is everyone…cold here.
hey es – i sure like that bad kids song – appeals to my inner bad kid :)
Good evening all
Dude, What did Joni Mitchell say? That was just a dream some of us had.
Well, ES, I posted a Digg for you, but I see you snatched it away from me. So I Dugg your Digg!
thank the goddess for rebels!
That was just a dream some of us had.
Oh yeah.
Rolling Stone just placed My Morning Jacket on their top 75 Hot List for 2008. That's a hot list for everything, not just bands.
Thank goodness for these rebels…!
And rebel goddesses…)
The bailout auto news really steamed my clams before putting together tonight's post! Can you tell? /s
promote the general Welfare…The people who wrote the US Constitution were rebels. How is a gift of $8 Trillion of the public treasury promotimg the general welfare? Back to the basics…the constitution.
i was wondering where all the smoke was coming from…. *g*
seriously though, in 41 days we will have a new president and a new congress. i hope the dems are not on board with taking down the the unions – especially after all the $ and effort that was put into campaigning for dems.
You reminded me of the Patti Smith Indicts George W Bush post, back in July.
I loved that video and a lot of firepups watched it, but it didn't get much exposure beyond the lake. Much to my surprise and disappointment.
secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, FISA spying on the citzenry…The Founding Fathers would really be breathing fire over this one and illegal search and seizure…
How is a gift of $8 Trillion of the public treasury promotimg the general welfare?
we're not the generals?
The fact we have to wonder where the Dems are on this issue… is …. is.
Polite words fail.
Somebody posted this quote earlier… A Republican said this… what no current Dem seems willing to say.
"Prior to, and independent of capital…Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much higher consideration."
–Abraham Lincoln
scarecrow has a great diary up about labor at ox
Redefining both labor and Republicans.
This seems to be another futile pursuit…
Convoy attacks trigger race to open new Afghan supply lines
Nato countries are scrambling for alternative routes as far afield as Belarus and Ukraine to supply their forces in Afghanistan, which are increasingly vulnerable to a resurgent Taliban, the Guardian has learned.
Four serious attacks on US and Nato supplies in Pakistan during the past month, including two in the past three days, have added to the sense of urgency to conclude pacts with former Soviet republics bordering Afghanistan to the north.
Nato is negotiating with Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to allow supplies for Nato forces, including fuel, to cross borders into Afghanistan from the north. The deal, which officials said was close to being agreed, follows an agreement with Moscow this year allowing Nato supplies to be transported by rail or road through Russia.
Funny thing is that the Russians utilized the same routes when they invaded… Why would they think the Afghans have forgotten those routes…? :headdesk:
OT — I did see a wonderful Lincoln exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery last weekend, what a place!
It really is! When he writes like that, it used to make me wish I got up early in the morning to catch his posts.
No such thing as OT this time of night….)
I would loved to have been there with you.
Oh thank you…drink deep from the cup of liberty…piss on tyranny and respect the God of Nature. Ah feel much better.
America is a material world…how much will they take for bondage?
Sufferin suckatash..they do not know what they were bequesthed. Thank you Patti Smith Jefferson would be proud of you as would George Washington. The bush crime family I don't think so. Separation of Church and State!
Please restate I missed the meaning and howdy to ya sister.
gotta try to catch some sleep for tomorrow. thanks for the music. might have to give it a listen again the am to start the day out right. night all.
There are some wonderful shows at the National Portrait Gallery. We LOVED the one about mourning jewelery, just exquisite in photography and gold. So COOL.
howdy bigbrother!
i guess it didn't make much sense….
promote the general Welfare –> promote the welfare of generals … but we're not generals.
Hey insomniacs.
I just posted a review of Ivins and DuBose, Bill of Wrongs in Oxdown.
It is a great video,,,cab we send it to Dennis Kuccinich with highest regards from FDL progressive for peace?
Lay that one on Mitch McConnell, wouldya?
I can hear him now, "Lincoln was a goddam commie…"

nite selise.
Palming the inevitability card from the dem deck might help.
Scarecrow sure tells it the way it is with this bullshit by B of A. They didn't need the $25 Billion it was for taking over/buying iirc Morgan Stanley!
Bank of America must start lending the money WE gave them! They should not be allowed to just hoard it and not lend it to Main Street where that money is needed!
If they don't I for one will move our bank accounts even though I have been with them for 30 years!
This just goes to show you you can't trust Big Money! This is the next battle that must be fought to reign back in the Banks and their lending practices. They have all of us over a Barrel and could care about the little guy!
Ol' Abe sure had a lot of bad hair days. /s
Great pics in your link, thanks.
Being in Washington, D.C. this weekend was pretty wonderful. We did all the geeky librarian things to do, and then walked in the snow Saturday night. The new Capitol Visitor Center is awesome.
Trace B of A back a few decades ad you will find it was the Bank Of Italy.
I'm jus sayin'
Oh yeah. I don't understand how I missed it when it first hit the shelves.
It's a good book, and would be even if it wasn't the last thing Molly worked on. It's important too — there's enough distance that some of the stupider efforts in support of Bushie are funny-ish now. That makes the lesson go down easier for some people. I can get my brother to read this — I couldn't get him to read Olshansky and Lindorff if it was the only book within 100 miles of him.
promote the general Welfare –> promote the welfare of generals … but we're not generals.
XTC – Generals and Majors
BCT, I posted this on Siun's thread about Republic Windows…
Now, now. B of A got its start in San Francisco not in New York and New Jersey.
I went to school in Hilo. How is it that I never knew about this? They taught us reasonably straight dope on the overthrow of Liliuokalani by the sugar barons. Why did they hide this?
My Junior year of HS I did a report on it… Times change, I guess…! ;-)
Hey Pups, who is still awake? I'm trying to stay positive and should go to bed asap.
iirc, the guy who started boa loaned money after the 06 quake on a handshake from a wooden crate he set up downtown. he was a very beloved man in sf – was spoken about with awe and respect.
of course, that was then and this is now and now he's not at the helm.
Hey Chris – almost awake here, too.
Are you saying the Mafia?
You have me watching my best friend..
and a huge storm just moved into my neck of the woods.
I don't know, but makes one wonder about some of B of A's old money anyhow.
Amedeo Giannini, son of Italian immigrants to the US, started the Bank of America in a converted saloon in San Francisco at 9 am on Monday, 17 October 1904. On the first day, 28 deposits totalled $8,780.
When an earthquake struck in 1907, he ran his bank from a plank in the street. Word quickly spread about his service and by 1916 he had several branches. By 1929, the bank was strong enough to withstand the Great Depression stock crash. Giannini changed the name to Bank of America in 1928 and remained chairman until 1963.
I didn't make it to HHS — Dad closed the cabinet shop and moved us back to California before I got across the street. Maybe that's why I didn't know about it.
I'm here Chris. What was your best geeky librarian thing?
Newt my bad, I'm still here. Just turned off tv to look at lights in the street.
I've never heard anything about BoA having OC connections. Of course, that doesn't mean they didn't.
Gianini was the founder…another fascist.
i kept thinking sam something… dunno why tho
hey pun, how goes
Best geeky librarian thing…
so many…auction prices for Nazi war looting. This is something we do all the time and it is very exciting.
Ya know I did hear that story years ago. I bet old Mr Giannini is rolling over in his grave to see HIS Bank act so Ruthless towards the people who helped build B of A into what it is today. Of course the original B of A was bought out Nations Bank who kept the name! But here is the Wikipedia page.
from pun's wiki link:
A liberal in a field often considered conservative,[citation needed] Giannini and his bank helped nurture the motion picture and wine industries in California. He loaned Walt Disney the funds to produce Snow White, the first full-length, animated motion picture. In the depths of the Great Depression, he bought the bonds that financed the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. During World War II, he bankrolled industrialist Henry Kaiser and his enterprises which supported the war effort. After the War, he visited Italy and arranged for loans to help rebuild the war-torn Fiat factories.
i remember he was considered a very decent man who helped a lotta people.
True, outside of textbooks you don't hear about it… The local ILWU hall has a great memorial of it, tho… I did talk to some old timers about it that were there for my report, the Sheriff was way outta line and deep in the growers pockets… He was also the captain of the local National Guard unit and he called 'em up to quell it which led to the use of bullets… Needless to say he was fired over his actions that fateful day…!
By tomorrow afternoon.. yes.. in the low 20's. It's thunder and almost 60 now.
Here's some B o A and Italy connected dots.
Three men who erected the great name
The history of the largest banks in the USA is the story of the two separate institutions that once entered into a merger agreement to form the phenomenon known today as Bank of America. These institutions were BankAmerica and NationsBank and each of them started in 1904 and 1874 respectively. Here you are with the brief narration of some most important events in the life of the both organizations that today have the one life.
As it was already mentioned BankAmerica's origin traces back to 1904 when Amadeo Peter Giannini founded most innovative financial institution at the time named the Bank of Italy. It was the first bank that focused on a general consumer lending money to the average citizen which was unheard of in the early 1900s, when most banks lent only on a wholesale basis to commercial clients or wealthy individuals. Giannini raised capital for his new bank, called the Bank of Italy, by selling 3,000 shares of stock, mostly to small investors, none of whom were allowed to own more than 100 shares. Although Giannini never held a dominant share of stock, the extreme loyalty of these and subsequent stockholders allowed him to rule the bank as though it were closely held.
Do you mean "inside the textbooks"? That's exactly the sort of thing that gets whitewashed in textbooks … like the looting of I'olani Palace got a gloss in all of our textbooks.
It was originally named Bank Of Italy
i read that every single one of those handshake loans after the 06 quake was repaid. every single one.
I read the better textbooks like Shoal of Time… ;-)
I was in California when Daws' first wrote Shoals of Time… and you can imagine just how important Hawaiian history is in California.
True, I was saying that better histories have been written since you've left the Isles…! Heck, even Mitchener wrote Hawaii after you left… Right? ;-)
Well pups… I'm going to call it a night.
Good night firedawgs
Obama may be stuck with anti-pot crusading GOP US Attorney! Sure hope Obama dumps this POS! She is truly a piece of work. spent $12 million to get Tommy Chong behind bars for nine months for pot. Gee another of Shrub's oh so perfect US attorney's.
Pfffffffffftttttt. I'm not a dinosaur!
But I didn't read Hawaii until I was in California — and I could spot a lot of the holes in JM's tale. Of course he got some of it right: the missionaries came to do good, and their children did very well.
Hey that is a good book! I read that and many others by him… My only minor complaint is that his books were long oh so long, but he sure didn't scrimp for detail.
I was kidding! Btw, that is soooo accurate! ;-)
A lot of them I thought were too short…! I didn't want 'em to end! ;-)

Bet it is exciting! Tried to read a purportedly autobiographical novel by a former OSS agent touching on that. Chasing down confiscated impressionists shipped via Holland to Madrid, en route to South America.
Written about 10 yrs ago by a then-elderly US woman who'd married a spanish count. Writing is challenging and some photos dubious to my untutored eye. But the topic is fascinating.

Better late than never. Online journalists now eligible for Pulitzers
Blagojevich, a Democrat, yesterday said the biggest U.S. retail bank won't get any more state business unless it restores credit to Republic Windows & Doors, whose workers are staging a sit-in. John Douglas, an attorney with Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker in Atlanta, said Blagojevich and Senator Christopher Dodd — who called on General Motors Corp. to fire Chief Executive Rick Wagoner — can't tell companies how to run their business.
"This is a very dangerous thing," said Douglas, who was at the FDIC from 1987 to 1989 and has since represented financial institutions including Bank of America. "There becomes an expectation that these government officials have some say over what the institution does," he said in an interview.
Has Bush and friends told the banks to stop lending to everyone credit cards, home loans, car loans etc.
Is Bush trying to kill our economy?
Between these two scenes is the story of a coup that unfolded in slow motion for virtually three years. The United States was still embroiled in Vietnam. Nixon's policy for the whole of Latin America was one word short of "war on terror": "to prevent another Cuba". Nixon simply could not tolerate "that bastard Allende" (in his own words). Chile had the largest copper reserves in the world. Allende was about to nationalize Chilean copper – thus sabotaging the monstrous US corporate profits of Anaconda Copper Mining Co and Kennecott Copper Co, which had been bleeding the country for decades.
The CIA, apart from non-stop sabotage, financed strategic strikes – doctors, bank clerks, a very long truck drivers' strike. Conservative newspapers conducted a non-stop vicious disinformation campaign. There were coup rehearsals. And political chaos compounded economic chaos: the Christian Democrats – the centrists – ended up joining the right and the extreme right against Allende.
The GOP loves Nixon I think they have taken a page from his playbook.
We just gave the banks a $700 billion dollar bailout now then just what are they doing with the money?
I think they are buying each other and holding back credit to kill the economy.
To bad Blago has found a way to hurt them other states must follow suit.
We have cars piling up at the ports because nobody can get a loan factories are closing because they can't get credit.
But the banks have the money!
So how do we get Jane, Christy and Marcy on the list?
Attaturk is upstairs!
Dear America, we've got nothin'
Guess we have to figure that one out. Here's a better link – the Pulitzer site.
Lyrics to "I'm Amazed":
I'm amazed in the quiet ocean
I'm amazed at your wrong devotion
I'm amazed at what the people saying
I'm amazed by a divided nation
Like the middle of the earth
I get disrupted
I'm amazed at all that has been
I'm amazed at all who be
I'm amazed at the tv stations
I'm amazed what they want me to believe
After all is said and done
Where is the justice
I'm amazed at the lack of evolution
I'm amazed at the lack of faith
I'm amazed at love we are rejected
I'm amazed that we accepted this place
Like the middle of the earth and the middle of the ages
Like a river I get disrupted
I'm amazed
I'm amaaaaaaaaaazed…
I'm amazed

Have any of you used a steel pipe as a curtain rod before? I have a large window (approx. 101" wide and floor length) that I need to put curtains on. I plan to use canvas drop cloths with the ring clips. Trying to save money, I thought a steel pipe or something similar might be an option. PVC pipe would be too flimsy for the large window and heavy weight fabric.
Do you have any pictures or ideas that you could share? Also, if I cannot get the pipe in a dark color (black), could I spray paint it, or would it scratch as I move the ring clips along the painted rod? Thanks for any help you can give me. |

I haven't but was tempted to suggest it to someone else wanting curtain rod ideas. I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to paint it, but would suggest you probably use a metal primer first to help prevent chipping. I also think copper piping would look really great too! |
I've done this for the window above my kitchen sink, and it looks great! The valance hangs between two cabinets so I don't need a finished end; I have it supported by closet-rod end supports that have been painted to match the cabinets. I used a textured-finish black spray paint. There are clips but I don't pull them back and forth so I couldn't comment on the chip factor. It's been at least 5 years now, maybe more, and it still looks brand new. I've also hung a steel pipe to hold the curtain on my sliding door. It is unfinished as it hangs under a valance. It works for us but I would want a finial on the end if it was not hidden. Sorry, I'm unable to post a photo just now. |
- Posted by squirrelheaven (My Page) on Sat, May 30, 09 at 14:20
I've always wanted to do that with copper pipe! Aging it as well. I think it's a great idea and am sure it must have been done by some of the DIY shows. Have you googled for tips? Love the canvas idea, too. I find simple curtains like that very refreshing and relaxing. I think they're quite stylish too. |
Here is a photo from the blog Urban Grace. |

With that in mind, think of the damage repairs that you will need to make to the structure if you use steel on a sheetrock wall which you might need to replace. |
At that length, a 1/2" rod will not hold the weight without a lot of support. The rods are hollow and tend to bend. Go bigger than 1/2" and you get a lot of pipe weight. I've used copper but only on 48" windows. I made some rods for my family room sliders and I used wooden closet rods. They came in 10 foot lengths that I cut down to size. They work well with the weight of the canvas curtains. And, if memory serves, it was actually less expensive than pipe of similar width. |

I used electrical conduit for my enormous 6 1/2'x12' windows. I spray painted them with a hammered metallic spray paint, then waxed them so the rings would slide. Ignore the green table cover. I sewed it like a fitted sheet for card nights. I do have a lovely mahogany table under the hideously colored velveteen cover. |
- Posted by squirrelheaven (My Page) on Sat, May 30, 09 at 15:05
Maybe start by checking with the guys on one of the building forums, to gauge the size and weight of the pipe needed and to see how many supports you'd have to place along the studs, which are usually every 16"-18". I'm not sure just how heavy a hollow pipe gets, compared to traditional rods that do not bend. Canvas is heavy too. Are these going to draw closed? I also love those natural bamboo rods, though don't know how expensive they are. Maybe they're sold as material for other purposes, too, rather than just as prefab drapery rods. |
- Posted by newhomebuilder (My Page) on Sat, May 30, 09 at 15:51
Here are the instructions I saved when I wanted to do the same on my porch. I never tried it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Curtain Rods
Speaking of using steel pipe, copper, etc as curtain rods..... Is there anything solid and stable enough where a person wouldn't need a center support going across a large patio slider door? Having many windows with very wide spans, I'll be following this topic closely. Thank you! |
We do use it for jobs that can't use a center support. One inch is strong enough to go over french doors with just the end supports. However, you have to put those supports into a stud, certainly not just hollow wall anchors. There is some weight, and using the right brackets and screws is very important. We buy the pipe through a machine shop in town to save shipping costs! The pipe and the brackets and rings are taken to the local powder coating shop to finish. Steel pipe will rust and the powder coat is permanent. I'm sure you can paint, but this works better for us (our shop). Many of these rods have been for use on sunrooms (many sliding doors). |

Metal conduit would be preferable to iron plumbing pipe, and cheaper than rigid copper. 1" conduit would have no problem spanning the 101 inches. I believe it comes in ten-foot lengths. Casey |

OMG! Thank you so much for all the very helpful responses. The links are very informative too. My DH says he will probably be using the conduit and doesn't expect to have a problem. |

I had a friend fabricate a 16 ft. piece of aluminum for me for my draperies. It is 1 3/4 inch in diameter. He made simple finials and welded them on. We then had it powder coated with a brown/black mottled finish. I found matching clip rings in a dark brown color at Target. There are no scratches at all from sliding the rings. But I don't know if just spray painting will be as durable. I definately needed a center support and there is no sagging at all. |

Discipline: Social Work
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisite: SWK 101 or concurrent. This is a fundamental course for all social work students. It addresses the areas of diversity in which the Council for Social Work Education requires all social work students to have a working knowledge. These areas include, but are not limited to, issues of race, ethnicity, culture, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion, physical or mental ability, age, and national origin. It assists students in becoming aware of and sensitive to these issues, as well as building some beginning skill level with diverse populations. Important social work qualities, such as non-judgmental attitudes, acceptance, and a client-centered approach, will be explored. The required standard for the profession and student, the National Association of Social Work Code of Ethics, will be worked with to further the student's ability to understand and use its structure. The class members apply their knowledge by exploring ethical dilemmas and their application with clients, themselves, and the practice of social work. (Offered every spring semester). (LA)(3)

Caught On Tape! IRS Agent To Pro-Life Group: "Keep Your Faith To Yourself" [Audio]
A bit of advice that would be quite interesting to every church in America.
IRS religious persecution of a Christian organization caught on tape.
(ADF Media Relations) –In March 2012, Ania Joseph received a call from IRS Exempt Organization Specialist Sherry Wan, who told her that Pro-Life Revolution cannot force its religion or beliefs on anyone else. Wan inaccurately told Joseph that the organization must remain neutral on positions such as abortion in order to qualify for a tax exemption. The IRS has approved applications for tax exemption for pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood and Life and Liberty for Women.

The IRS has call centers in China, who knew?
Agent (:44 – 1:17) Yeah, you have the religious freedom; the freedom of speech. And other people also have the civil rights; human rights. You cannot, you know, use your religious belief to tell other people you don't have a belief, so I don't believe you need the right to do this, start confrontation, protesting, uh, prot, uh, protest. [unintelligible] You don't apply for tax exemption.
Crosstalk (1:17 – 1:18)
Agent (1:18 -1:38) " Nobody will go after you as long as you don't violate the law. But when you come to apply for tax exemption, you have to keep your action to, you know, exactly what is
educational or religious, you know you [unintelligible].
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) press release:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEIRS caught on tape: Keep faith to yourself
Non-profit group waited for tax-exempt approval for almost 2-1/2 years
Monday, June 10, 2013Attorney sound bites: Erik Stanley #1 Erik Stanley #2
WASHINGTON Alliance Defending Freedom made public Monday audio of a phone conversation that the Internal Revenue Service placed to a non-profit organization that provides support to women in abusive pregnancy situations. In the recorded phone conversation, an IRS agent lectures the president of the organization about forcing its religion and beliefs on others and inaccurately explains that the group must remain neutral on issues such as abortion.
Alliance Defending Freedom represents the group, which did not receive its tax-exempt status until last week, nearly two and a half years after applying for it.
The IRS is a tax collector; it shouldn't be allowed to be the speech and belief police, said Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley. "The current scandal isn't new but has merely exposed the abuse of power that characterizes this agency and threatens our fundamental freedoms.
The IRS grants tax exemptions to religious, educational, and/or charitable organizations. In January 2011, Pro-Life Revolution, which operates from Texas under all three purposes, filed an application for tax-exempt status with the IRS.
Four months later, the IRS sent a letter requesting more information and an explanation of how the organization's activities are educational or charitable even though IRS rules specify that an organization need only operate for one or more of the three exempt purposes. President of Pro-Life Revolution Ania Joseph nonetheless replied and answered the IRS' questions.
In March 2012, Joseph received a call from IRS Exempt Organization Specialist Sherry Wan, who told her that, in order to obtain a tax exemption, You cannot force your religion or force your beliefs on somebody else. You have to know your boundaries. You have to know your limits. You have to respect other people's beliefs. The IRS has approved applications for tax exemption for pro-abortion groups such as Planned Parenthood and Life and Liberty for Women.
In February of this year, the IRS requested additional information in another letter and attempted to apply a standard for tax exemption to Pro-Life Revolution that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held to be unconstitutional in 1980. Alliance Defending Freedom pointed this out in a letter responding to the IRS, which finally granted tax-exempt status to the organization in a letter received Thursday.
The power to tax is the power to destroy,added Stanley. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We cannot allow the IRS to ruthlessly dictate against legitimate non-profits simply because it does not approve of the organization's mission. It must be held accountable.

James Sharp, grower and salesman at Southeastern Growers Association, Kenly, N.C., also has good news to report. Although they had a lot of rain, watermelons are on schedule for harvesting around July 9.
"So far the crop looks clean and seems to be growing really well," said Sharp.
Troxler said that the state needs the weather to cooperate but that one of the great things about farming is that "you can always enter a new growing season with enthusiasm and hope and we're always optimistic this time of year."
Tomato and melon markets
Tomato prices are down in North Carolina.
Doug Patterson, co-owner and vice president of Patterson Farm, Inc., China Grove, N.C., said he hopes tomato prices start increasing before Patterson Farm starts picking.
"Right now there are just too many tomatoes out there are they are selling too cheap," he said.
The cantaloupe and watermelon season in Georgia looks to be about 10 days behind schedule, said Jackson Farming's Solana. Georgia's late start time could potentially run into the first part of North Carolina's season.
"What is going to drive the pricing is how much of Georgia's product carries in because that could deflate the market to a degree, based on what our normal pricing would be," he said.
Solana said that as North Carolina reaches its peak in mid-July on cantaloupes and watermelons, pricing should be in the normal range as Georgia and South Carolina should be finishing.
Although it's too early to tell what the market has in store, everyone is positive about the season. "As long as Mother Nature doesn't interfere, we anticipate a high quality and good inventory crop this year," said Laura Kornegay, marketing director at Nash Produce, Nashville, N.C.

Have a low-interest debt? Hurry up, and pay it off!
(Read article summary)People can understand the urgency in paying off debt with a 15 percent interest rate. But what's the rush in paying off debt with a 3 percent interest rate?
Sarah Beth Glicksteen / Staff / File
Quite often, when I write answers to reader mailbag questions, I encourage people to keep pushing hard against their debts no matter the interest rate. Almost everyone agrees that it makes sense to rapidly pay off the 15% debts, but I'll often get a lot of disagreement about the 3% debts. People will often ask why they should hurry to pay off a 3% debt. After all, they can get a better return in other investments.
The reason is simple. It's all about the cash flow.
Let's start off with the basics and explain what cash flow is. Cash flow refers to the amount of income you take in minus the required bills you have to pay. Ideally, you have money left over at the end of this process, and the more cash you have left over, the better. That cash can be saved for the future, invested, or applied to extra debt payments.
Let's say, for example, that you're bringing home $3,500 a month. You have a $1,000 mortgage at 6.75%, a $500 student loan payment at 3%, and another $1,000 in required bills (electricity, food, fuel, etc.). At this point, you must have $2,500 in monthly income to pay for your minimum required bills. At the end of the month, with a $3,500 income, you're left with $1,000 to do with what you please.
Now, let's look at your situation if the mortgage is paid off. You still has a $500 student loan payment and another $1,000 in required bills. You must have $1,500 in monthly income to pay for your minimum required bills. At the end of the month, with a $3,500 income, you're left with $2,000 to do with what you please.
Because your mortgage is paid off, your monthly cash flow is far better than before. This helps you in countless ways.

I bought my 2004 ZQ8 a couple months ago. I was rather iffy about it since it was only 2wd and winter coming. I like the fact that I'm one of few with the 3.5L I5. It's a quick little truck and the gas mileage ain't too bad either considering I drive 60 miles or so a day. If you want something to use as utility I wouldnt recommend this truck, but as for small jobs it's perfect. I haul my quads and what not no problem. Interior could use a little work. Exteriors not bad..flashy. Rides a little rough.

Patch 3.2 PTR: Priest changes in build 10072 {WoW}
Jul 9th 2009 3:33PM If the dispersion cooldown is being lowered, then the Glyph of Dispersion should be changed to add a health regen component, which would solve a major shadow priest pvp problem. I get tired of using dispersion and either being killed anyway (and now it's on cooldown) or killed as soon as dispersion ends. RIght now in PVP it's just prolonging your death by a few seconds.

My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.
- President Jimmy Carter
It's not just soldiers who sacrifice during times of deployment. The families they leave behind also face hardships.
Some of those most affected are kids, and not only the sons and daughters of deployed soldiers, although they are the ones most directly impacted. Deployment can also affect younger brothers and sisters when a soldier is away at war. I know because I watched our two youngest sons struggle while their big brother spent two tours in Iraq.
I recently had the opportunity to discuss these issues with Gregg Hunter, CEO of Christian Camp & Conference Association. He reminded me that in many ways, kids are much more involved with combat than in days past. With previous generations, the primary means of communication between soldiers and their families was letters. This type of interaction was much less immediate and provided a filter between home and the frontlines.
Now, with the Internet and video chatting, war has come home. A soldier can literally tuck his kids into bed right before going out on a mission.
With our own children, it wasn't uncommon for our military son to call his younger brothers while he was on deployment. These calls helped them all cope with the stress they were feeling. Fortunately, our kids' teachers understood how important it was for them to have this connection with their brother and allowed our sons to carry cell phones and accept calls from their brother during school hours.
Kids who face the deployment of someone they love have different life experiences. They often struggle with feeling disconnected from their peer group, and that can make it more difficult for them to make friends. Those whose parents are active duty military also deal with moving every few years.
It was these issues that led numerous summer camps to offer programs for military kids. I listed several of these in a previous post on Camps for Military Kids and Families. But there are also things we can do in the communities where many of these families live:
Now I'd love to hear from you. How have those in your community reached out to military kids?

The tradition of memorable sports car racing continues at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with the Continental Tire Monterey Grand Prix powered by Mazda featuring the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. The TUDOR United SportsCar Championship is America's premier road racing series and is entering its second season with ferocity and international driving stars. For fans, the racing is non-stop as there are two styles of cars competing: Prototype and GT (Grand Touring). Each style also has two classes, Pro and Pro-Am for a race within a race.
The eni FIM Superbike World Championship, GEICO Motorcycle U.S. Round features riders, teams and manufacturers racing high-performance bikes very similar to the ones right off the showroom floor.
There is plenty of nail-biting racing to enjoy with two races during the weekend. This is the one chance to see these international riders, as it is the series' only visit to the United States. Approximately 25 riders line up on the starting grid, making for an entertaining field and hard-fought battle for the lead at every turn.
The Monterey Pre-Reunion provides guests with the chance to see more than 300 race cars competing prior to the following weekend's big Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion. The paddock is bustling and the racing action intense as these historic cars, some of which are fully restored while others carry the patina of yesteryear, run in their respective race groups according to era, engine size and car type.
Described as a museum springing to life, the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion is the largest event held during the famed Monterey Classic Car Week, and is the only event where cars are doing what they were originally intended to do…race. Approximately 550 race cars are invited to compete in the world's premier motoring event, and are accepted based on the car's authenticity, race provenance and period correctness.
One of North America's finest, longest running auto racing series, the Pirelli World Challenge, will crown their 2015 champions at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, at its season finale.
Hosted by PCNA, Rennsport Reunion V will, once again, bring together an extraordinary gathering of significant Porsche vintage and current race cars, as well those who have designed, engineered, and driven them to victory in the world's most famous sports car races. The three-day program of on-track competition will be complemented by a Concours d'Elegance, which is open to invited race participants, and special activities celebrating each of the six decades of legendary Porsche race cars.
Porsche Rennsport Reunion V has moved to September 25-27 due to conflicting dates with the World Endurance Championship in Fuji, Japan, which would have significantly impacted the quality of Rennsport by pulling away vital assets needed for the prestigious event.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca and Porsche Cars North America have been working together to move the date to accommodate all the many elements that are being planned for another successful Rennsport.
There is so much to see and do when visiting Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, whether it's making a quick overnight stop to see a race, or if you're making a weekend of it and checking out all the cool attractions in the Monterey County area.
One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the experience of any racing event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is to stay overnight in the Laguna Seca Recreation Area campgrounds.
Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca offers some of the coolest apparel in all of motor racing, from wind-breakers and sweatshirts, to ball caps and jackets. Be sure to visit the track souvenir store and make your choice.
There are numerous ways to get your brand noticed through a marketing and advertising program with Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, either through a custom-built official partnership all the way up to an event title sponsorship.

Combine a harbour cruise with a scenic bike ride and a visit to Australia's most popular beach.
Catch a ferry from Circular Quay with your guide and your state-of-the-art bicycle and enjoy unsurpassed views of Sydney from the water. Spend time on beautiful Manly Beach before pedaling to picturesque North Head for some magnificent cliff-top panoramas.
At the right time of year, you could even catch sight of the cute (and endangered) little penguins or the awesome spectacle of humpback whales on their annual migration.
After heading back to Manly sail back across the Harbour admiring the sight of the city skyline silhouetted against the sunset.
It's the perfect way to explore the coast around Sydney.
Take the Manly Bike Tour and Sunset Cruise for fresh air and exercise and unsurpassed views of Sydney.
The tour starts with a cycle down to Circular Quay to catch the ferry to Manly. Make sure you have your camera to capture the superb views of the Harbour and the Opera House during the 30-minute ferry crossing.
You'll disembark at Manly and get a chance to stroll on this world-famous beach. Manly is a popular destination for swimming, kayaking and beach volleyball among other activities. Then jump back on your bike for the scenic journey to North Head. There is a significant hill on the way but don't worry, it's worth it when you get up there and the ride down is a blast!
Take in the coastal cliffs with the city skyline in the background, and depending on the time of year, maybe catch a glimpse of endangered little penguins or migrating humpback whales.
Return to Manly to catch the ferry back to Sydney. Relax on board as you admire a beautiful sunset behind the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and city skyline. After your cruise, pedal back to 30 Harrington Street where your tour ends.
Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays
Approximately 4 hours
Start time: 0215h (2.15 pm)
Duration: Approximately 4 hours
The tour departs from 30 Harrington Street, The Rocks
Please report at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start time. This is mandatory to allow time for pre-departure briefing.
The tour ends at the starting point
Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes (such as trainers). It's a good idea to put on sunscreen as the sun can be strong, and bring a bottle of water. Don't forget the camera! If the weather looks threatening bring rain gear. The tour operator can also provide rain ponchos
Please call the activity operator at least 24 hours prior to start of the tour for reconfirming departure details.
This ride is more suited to an intermediate fitness level due to a significant hill as you head out to North Head.
A minimum of two passengers is required for this tour to run.
Voucher information: You must print and surrender a paper version of your booking voucher for this activity (showing your voucher on a smartphone is not accepted). No refund can be given for customers without a printed copy of their voucher.

The Feast and Famine of Addiction
In active addiction, that Thing that feels so good is addressed as morally "bad." And the humiliated addict's promises to "be good" are also promises to suffer. This is a destructive twist of the pleasure principle – the idea that we are hard-wired to like those things that are good for us (food, warmth, touch), and dislike those things (too hot, too cold, ouch!) that will hurt us. Suffering carries with it a sense of moral superiority. In recovery, one is first asked to give up the only pleasure in a miserable life, in order to survive. Only considerable experience (and positive example) can bring the realization that the "high" and the suffering are unalterably intertwined.
It's a cycle of feast or famine. Mostly famine, with a few heady spikes of feast. While we, as clinicians, need to encourage any addict to put the drug down, we must also go further: we must understand that if the person cannot find goodness in life without the addiction, the addiction will reclaim them. We need to keep in mind that the full cycle needs treatment, not just the "high."
If you notice this cycle in your own life, or in that of someone you love, there is help available. I'm happy to talk with you.
