Rose Petals Nursery has an interesting collection of found roses. Among them is Ethel Yount's White, identified by Malcome Manners as an alba. It is not listed on HMF. Has anyone here grown Ethel Yount's White or know anything about it. For whatever reason, HMF is not letting me post links. They also list both Benny Lopez and Pulich Children, both of those not currently available, but maybe in years to come those will be offered also. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's very probable that they obtained Benny Lopez and Pulich Children from the Sacramento City Cemetery. They certainly saw those roses there. But they wouldn't have them ready to sell yet. Not enough time. The Cemetery has given a number of rare cultivars to Dr. Manners, and I expect you folks on the East Coast will have an opportunity to get them before too long. Jeri |
Anita Clevenger from the Sacramento Cemetery posted on the rose forum recently about bringing Benny Lopez to Dr. Manners. Glad she also brought Pulich Children. Both are wonderful roses. Diane |
That is good news indeed that we also might get a crack at growing some of the wondrous CA found roses. I take it the "Ethel Yount's White" was not found on the West Coast? |

"Ethel Yount's White" was my grandmother's rose. It grew on her dairy farm in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, at least by the early 1930s. It is very similar to 'Semiplena', and may actually be that rose, except that in more than 20 years of growing them here in Lakeland, 'Semiplena' flowered most years, whereas we have never had a single flower on Ethel Yount's White. On the other hand, we've tried to distribute it far and wide to areas that get more winter chill, and it flowers well in climates that get a bit more winter than we. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Photo of Ethel in NYC
That's a beautiful rose Malcolm. I plan to order it. I'm currently growing some other Albas like Sappho, Maxima, Blush Hip and Felicite Parmentier so hopefully my winter chill will be enough for it. Diane |
Ethel does look a lot like Semiplena in your pictures, Mr. Manners.. Maybe a sport or a seedling? I just ordered it. I need a new semiplena, the one I have now being not likely to recover from wabbit damage, so maybe I can grow them together., |

Who's having what done where and for how much?
Body Image and Issues after Weight Loss - Plastic surgery?View Full Version : Plastic surgery? WannaB2cute 09-20-2013, 10:41 PM Who's having what done where and for how much? WannaB2cute 09-22-2013, 03:38 PM Anyone? Jacqui_D 09-22-2013, 04:32 PM If I weren't afraid of surgery, doctors, and meds like I am, I would consider having a few nips and tucks done after I lose all that I want to lose. But alas, I'm too chicken. Sum38 09-22-2013, 04:59 PM Once I am at goal, I would like to get my tummy done. It all depends how I look at that point. BUT a girlfriend just had her tummy done and the whole healing process looks so painful, so we shall see....I may chicken out. cosmic wisdom 09-23-2013, 08:05 PM Tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift... moving that fat from the tummy to my backside in Dec 2014. Already have 3 consultations scheduled in Nov 2013 and will have 2 more Dec 2013. I figure if I'll be at goal around this Christmas and if I can maintain it will be an award for myself. WannaB2cute 09-24-2013, 12:12 AM Cosmic is it ok if I pm you? I was wondering who you are going to cosmic wisdom 09-24-2013, 08:53 AM Go ahead....I'll have more info to share after the consultations though. I can give you names now. But make sure you do your own research as well :) Underwater 09-25-2013, 05:28 PM I went to a few doctors here in the SF Bay Area and am planning a tummy tuck for late January. I know the recovery is going to be hard - my mom is flying in from New Jersey to help me through it. I can't live with the extra skin on my stomach - it is a pain to deal with when exercising and clothes don't fit me right! Megan33 09-25-2013, 06:08 PM I had a brachioplasty (arm lift) in July. I'm in Massachusetts and it cost just under 5K (includes hospital fee, surgeon's fee and anthesiologist fee). -Megan Having A LOT more done, but not til next year. MauiKai 09-30-2013, 08:50 AM I cannot have cosmetic surgery, but if I could, I would love to have some work done where the arm meets the body. (Like the arm pit) I had a weird conglomeration of fat there that bothers me relentlessly. Sum38 09-30-2013, 09:05 AM MauiKai Have you considered one of those laser treatments, where the laser melts off the fat, but it is not surgery? A friend of a friend had it done on her arms and they are looking fabulous! ReillyJ 09-30-2013, 08:11 PM i would LOVE to have fillers done in my face because for some reason i really have a hard time with what i look like after so much weight loss but i doubt i'll able to come up with the $$ :( mlk58 10-01-2013, 07:25 PM I had a lower facelift (really mostly to get rid of the turkey neck) and lower eyelids two years ago. Cost was about $12,000. Just had a tummy tuck four weeks ago. Cost was $6,800 (incuding a $440 discount for being a frequent flier!). Both done by Dr. Martin O'Toole in Pasadena, CA. Super happy with him, his staff, and my results. I think I'm done now. It's not cheap and it's not easy. But I feel like for me, getting my skin issues taken care of was the last piece of the puzzle and I'm really glad I was able to do it. WannaB2cute 10-01-2013, 11:16 PM Mlk58 how are you feeling after your TT. I'm planning on one 4/22/14 mainecyn 11-08-2013, 07:34 PM I can't live with the extra skin on my stomach - it is a pain to deal with when exercising and clothes don't fit me right! I was in the same situation. I had a TT done in Feb of 2013. It was difficult, costly, yet the best thing I have ever ever done for myself. I went thru a depression after dropping tons of weight, I still had skin, fat, stretch marks etc. I am not on that normally would do plastic surgery. I suffered from the pain of carrying around 10 lbs of skin hanging from my ab area, got constant infections under the flaps, couldn't find clothes that would fit my shape...and depressed for years after losing all that weight still hating the way I looked. I would do it again in a second. I didnt have lipo, or any other things done. I ended up having to have the extensive surgery to repair several issues from abdominal prolapse and such I had the huge T incision. It was the scariest decision I made, but trusted the dr. It was difficult physically but for so emotionally. I admit I also got the depression after surgery. You look at pics and want perfection..it doesn't happen. You don't come out looking like a model, just a better you. I am just learning that. I have never been comfortable with my body but now I don't hate it. I had already been at my goal weight for years when I decided to do the surgery. This latest increase in weight has come from health problem, bad back and my own eating. While I have gained from 150 to 172, you don't see much change at all. I just wish I had real expectations when I had the surgery and due to the weight loss and the way my body was after it I don't have perfect summitry. WannaB2cute 11-09-2013, 02:30 PM Mainecyn are you comfortable sharing pics? mainecyn 11-09-2013, 03:34 PM I would be, but I don't have my before and after pics from my surgeon yet. She took the before pictures at the hospital that day, and has taken pics at each visit. I went every two weeks for several months for a visit. I see her again in Feb, it will be a year. I should be getting those pics. I do have a pic on my old phone taken before surgery, looking horrible, and then with my bandages. I can try to get those on to my computer. I've kept them off the computer because I never wanted my husband to see the before pic. I do have one side that to me is noticeably larger. It doesn't have extra fat or anything like that, its just fuller, and its on the left side at hip level. I had a fold in the muscle, a huge crease. It was noticeable before surgery as well and no matter how much she removed she could only do so much. I don't have "rolls" of fat standing, but that side poofs out a little more. In all honesty, I hit a major depression after my surgery when I didn't see the results that I wanted to see, the one side being slightly bigger, not all stretch marks gone, not making it washboard tight. However, they can only do so much, skin will tear so will muscle, my age, the amount of weight lost. I am thankful and definatley would do it again but let me tell you. I had been at goal weihgt before surgery and stayed at it for months..then depression hit and I gained 30 lbs. All because I have obsessed over this one side not being as small as the other. I learned my lesson and woke up accepting the fact that some things can't be totally fixed but improved. I had this issue before surgery, the one side being larger than other. Is it still there, yes, is it anywhere like it was, **** no. Does anyone else really really notice it? Probably not. But it drove me over the edge. I have spoke with a friend of mine from another site. She had hers done two years ago. She went thru the same thing, major depression when didn't get the results she dream t of, still had the issue of the skins over all appearance.Also, she didn't have the type of surgery I had, she had a basic tummy tuck. She still has loose muscle up and down her stomach. I got the T cut and while it scared me it is the best for people that have lost a great deal of weight. I also had two c-sections and a complete hysterc. done so I had already been cut across hip to hip three times. I no longer have the back pain, can run and jump around without pain or flapping. I will never be a beauty queen, but I am 100% better than I ever was. It gave me self confidence I never had, has opened me up more with my spouse. I never ever would have had the surgery if I didn't have so much medical stuff going on due to hauling around that skin and the pain it gave. I also only had it because I had received money from a settlement. If I hadn't I never would have spent the money. I would do it again in a second, for sure. It has changed me, made me the real me. I had lost all that weight and yet I still looked horrible and no one understood I was still hiding me in clothes and crying, depressed when i looked at myself. The first night in the hospital wasn't too bad. The drive home, I went to Utah and I live in Wyoming, was horrible as well. I did ok when got home as long as I kept taking the pain meds and didn't let it wear off Those prescription pain meds will run out before the pain does. The first several days after I ran out of pain pills I cried, I sat in that stupid recliner chair and cried thinking I'd die. The drains, hurt like heck. I had two. They left scars but they do fade a bit. I had already had my kids, was married, and never a beach gower wearing bathing suits, so the scars really eventually didn't matter to me. I also told myself I could carry around those scars, of the 10 pounds of skin the dr removed..10 entire pounds. My start weight really was similar to yours, I was 220+ and was 147 when I had my surgery. I had kept the majority of weight off for several years. Thats why I knew it was ok to go ahead with surgery. WannaB2cute 11-09-2013, 04:07 PM Mine is scheduled and dep has been paid $2100 still have 6000 to go before 4/22. I've stalled and I'm so worried I won't make it to goal weight before surgery. I think I have realistic goals. I by no means hope or want to be "skinny " I've always loved the slightly "thick" look. I just don't want the apron it's disheartening mainecyn 11-09-2013, 06:39 PM Yup, the apron is what I had removed as well it was horrible and gross WannaB2cute 11-09-2013, 08:27 PM I'd love to see pics.

Della Donne Ruins Garden Party as Liberty Drop Opener
It was the best of times for the New York Liberty (1-1) as they rallied to tie the Chicago Sky 55-55 after the third quarter in their return to Madison Square Garden after four years playing in Newark, NJ. It was also the worst of times as the Liberty offense sputtered at times and, for the most part, could not sustain the Chicago attack.
The Liberty got all they could handle of Elena Della Donne, who torched New York for 23 points. New York dropped their home opener 79-65.
Chicago (2-0) got good guard play from Courtney Vandersloot and Allie Quigley (24 points combined) and their bigs scored crucial points inside, especially Jessica Breland who scored 13 points and grabbed eleven rebounds.
"This is a high scoring game for us." Bill Laimbeer explained. "I think right now our defense is going to have to carry us. We can't rely on it only, we have to execute to win games."
For the Liberty, who defeated Connecticut in their season opener fairly easily a night earlier, it was a role reversal tonight.
"The energy, we weren't scoring, yesterday we were scoring, had positive energy all around." Alex Montgomery explained. "We just weren't as positive as we were on Friday." Coach Bill Laimbeer adds, "When we execute we are going to be OK, when we don't we're going to struggle."
The return to their black home jerseys brought back memories of when past players like Weatherspoon, Hampton, Wicks, and Lobo roamed the Garden floor. All were in attendance tonight.
The Liberty had Cappie Pondexter and returning scorer Essence Carson back. They had acquired new center Tina Charles. They had an effective second guard in Anna Cruz, from Spain, who hustled throughout and ran step for step with Sky guards and showed how effective she is when she sat down and Chicago' small ballers started getting easy penetration and layups.
The Liberty were paced by Pondexter, Carson, and Charles. However, Della Donne was unstoppable and Milton Jones and Charles were not up the task. Take nothing away from the Liberty, it was a grind of a game for the most part, and most of the players just recently arrived in the past week. They do have great potential weapons that only need some jelling time.
"We have to get a feel for each others games," Alex said. "But we'll get it."
Cappie added, "We are improved, its up to us how much we want to get better. Thats just effort, putting the time and energy in." Laimbeer agreed, "We played hard, good defense, but everyone gas to be like that on the same page, that's not there right now.
The Garden, if last night was any indication, will be a tough place to play for other teams in the league. The return of Carson (13 points) was inspiring as she showed more patience and her defense will be an aspect that will be welcome.
"I can't ask for anything more than to be back in the Garden. Its been a long off season for me," Essence shared. "I feel good, no pain. Just letting the game come to me. Trying not to force things."
Laimbeer liked what he saw from her. "Essence is coming around, made some quality shots, played good defense. The knee looks sound."
Tina Charles, with 15 pts and 12 rebounds, showed some nice flashes of her former MVP game and one expects we will see more elite play from her. Laimbeer especially wants to utilize all her talents. "We're going to work on creating space for Charles so she can go to work right away."
Pondexter, though frustrated often, led the way with 14 points but her shooting 3-16 was off.
"We want Cappie to score but she just has to get the rest of the players involved," Coach Laimbeer added.
Anna Cruz has been the biggest surprise thus far, running the offense when Cappie sits or together with Cappie as they did in the opener vs Connecticut.
"Here we play more physical, they allow more contact and its a faster game." Anna explained about the transition from playing in Europe. Laimbeer likes what he has in Cruz. "She is going to be a fan favorite. She hogs the ball and creates turnovers in the backcourt that are unheard of. She has long arms and can run all day, bever gets tired. She is mature, and a solid player."
The bench was pretty non-existent, with the exception of brief moments from Alex Montgomery and Plennette Pierson, who missed training camp. "We're still in the meshing point. Cappie and Tina got in late. Its like we are starting a two week training camp. But it can only go up from here." Plennette shared. Bill Laimbeer and the players are not talking championship or even playoff aspirations. With the humbling experience of a season ago, they are more careful with talks of expections. But to a woman, they seem to understand that when they finish tinkering, that this team will have a lot going for it. "We have more options, but not enough of what we are going to need to constantly compete for championships."
Now, with a week until their next game, Laimbeer has a lot of practices to continue working. But the players are excited to be back in the city and with there new locker room digs, the renovated arena, and the large crowd which included several New York Knicks players and an impressive DJ set from Sofie Fatale made it feel like a professional atmosphere again which has to be a plus. "Its a big realization that we are back in the heart of New York again. We have to bring the heat everytime we hit the floor," Plennette Pierson confirmed.

Gear Review
All mountain greatness.
This boot is a great boot for the rider that wants to have very versatile performance. It is quite a stiff boot and has great reaction to the moves that you make when you are trying to rip hard turns on the ice and on the powder. The boots look great and the boa is amazing as always. The inner laces are great; I love how tight they get the inner liner. One thing that I would recommend when you pull them out of the box is to heat mold them to your feet for better out of the box comfort because the Achilles cups are quite deep.

New York Daily News' Thomas Defrank and Corky Siemaszko: "President Obama says New York's historic vote allowing same sex marriage is 'a good thing'" In his first press conference since March, President Obama on Wednesday called New York's historic decision to legalize gay marriage "a good thing." "That's exactly how things should work," Obama said, referring to the contentious state-wide debate that preceded the final vote. LINK
Politico's Glenn Thrush and Carrie Budoff Brown: "Obama frames 2012 Campaign" One of President Barack Obama's 2012 themes will likely revolve around what his aides call "the contrast" — a portrayal of Obama as a responsible, moderate adult harassed by infantile Republicans who favor the wealthy. During his East Room press conference Wednesday — his first since the kickoff of the 2012 Republican campaign — Obama drew that comparison in the starkest terms to date, likening veteran politicians in their 40s, 50s and 60s to his young daughters, Sasha and Malia. LINK
USA Today's Jackie Kucinich: "Interest groups use the power of the political pledge" Former Utah governor Jon Huntsman doesn't sign pledges, former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty does and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney recently received criticism from the right for not signing one, but then received praise for signing two others. LINK
Wall Street Journal's Vauhini Vara and Jacob Gershman: "Why Cuomo Is Sailing and Brown Becalmed" Two governors: Each is the Democratic son of a former governor. Each vowed to change his state's dysfunctional government. Each faced a huge budget deficit, powerful public-employee unions and Republican legislators with enough votes to resist tax increases. LINK
Los Angeles Times' Melanie Mason and Kim Geiger: "Presidential candidates race to raise cash" Though the first Republican voting is six months away, and the general election further still, the presidential campaigns were faced this week with one imperative: to raise the most cash possible before the financial quarter draws to a close Thursday. The crunch left people like Bobbie Kilberg, a fundraiser for Republican front-runner Mitt Romney, courting potential donors for a Wednesday event in northern Virginia. If a would-be contributor claimed a scheduling conflict, Kilberg asked not just for a rain check, but the real thing. LINK
ABC News' Matthew Jaffe: "Obama Tells Republicans No Deficit Reduction Without Tax Hikes" President Obama today ripped Republicans for refusing to accept tax hikes , even for the wealthiest Americans, as part of any deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling beyond $14.29 trillion. "You can't reduce the deficit to the levels that it needs to be reduced without having some revenue in the mix," the president told a White House news conference after a breakdown in administration negotiations with Congress on reaching a debt-ceiling deal while at the same time reducing soaring deficits. LINK
The New York Times' Mark Landler: "In Deficit Plan, Taxes Must Rise, President Warns" WASHINGTON — President Obama pressured Republicans on Wednesday to accept higher taxes as part of any plan to pare down the federal deficit, bluntly telling lawmakers that they "need to do their job" and strike a deal before the United States risks defaulting on its debt. LINK
The Washington Post's Peter Wallsten and Zachary Goldfarb: "Obama uses combative new tone to retake reins on economic, foreign policy issues" President Obama belittled congressional Republicans for taking vacations amid difficult deficit-reduction talks. He contrasted lawmakers with his young daughters. And he brushed off criticism of his Libya policy as a "fuss" that is all about politics. LINK
The Hills' Sam Youngman: "Obama uses presser to hit GOP on taxes, debt and leadership" An aggressive President Obama castigated Republicans on taxes, the debt ceiling and not doing more to create jobs Wednesday in his first news conference in months.

I love Alterna Caviar Products. I use the shampoo-conditioner and smoothing cream. They are all amazing. I have dry frizzy hair and it tames it, leaves it soft and manageable like nothing I have ever used~
While this product is good it's not for me.
Over time it weighs my hair down too much.
The smell is great, it leaves your hair soft and you only need a small amount.
My grip is the bottle.
Like most of Alterna's S & C's, it's not easy to get product out through that tiny long neck in the bottle sometimes.
You have to spank it!
If your into that...than this is the line for you! :):):)

i have used many alterna products, and the caviar and white truffle lines are my favorites. the caviar shampoo is a rich lathering formula, which always leaves my hair feeling very clean. the smell at first to me was very strong, but not fishy. i did get used to it, and now rather enjoy it. the caviar line is great for adding moisture, and leaves my hair very soft and shiny. i have fine hair, and it never makes my hair greasy or weighed down. its a great product.
I buy this stuff in the huge sizes. Its one of my staple shampoos, part of my regular rotation. Helps keep my highlighted, fine hair in great shape. The smell isn't my favorite, but its an effective product and worth the money.
I love this shampoo!! very moisturizing!! on th down side I do not like the caviar conditioner, it smells bad, doesnt work, save your $23
This is the best shampoo and conditioner I have ever used. After the first use it left my hair
silky and so soft. My boyfriend used it too and noticed the difference on his hair. This has been one of the very rare products that has made a remarkable difference on my hair. I love the smell, not fishy at all. I will be buying this product again.

I can't imagine how this shampoo could be seen as anything but a miracle worker. IF your hair is very dry or damaged, this is all you need. I killed my hair - had the color stripped, all over color, highlighted, more highlights, styled with heat and flatirons - all within a week. The caviar extract in this shampoo, while adding a subtle scent (to my nose the shampoo is marine-floral), provides fatty acids that actually really help your hair. You only need a small amount as it is very concentrated and using too much will weigh your hear down. However, my hair turned from pure crap to shiny, silky awesomeness.

I actually like the scent of teh shampoo. It's not fishy to me, but it is a marine type scent. I like this shampoo the 1st time I used it, however that was it. It did leave my hair slightly dry and tangled. Not the worst shamppo, but for $20, I expect great quality and performance. Will not repurchase.

I was using this with the Alterna Age Free Caviar Conditioner. The conditioner's and shampoo's scent bothers me. It's slightly fishy like what others described. Even with that smell, I like it because it has moisturized my hair. Although my scalp is oily, my hair has been dry from the hard water here. They've changed their packaging, so it's not as difficult to use as the old bottle style. I like the look of the bottle.
I had a sample packet of this shampoo. I don't like it. It weighed my hair down and I didn't like the funky smell. It didn't smell like fish to me, but it wasn't pleasant. I used it with the matching conditioner and had the worst hair day. My hair was a dry frizzy mess. I mean really frizzy. Definitely not for someone with fine hair. This product is not worth it.

Unclebear, To make it very simple, the higher the generation the clearer the view and the farther you can see clearly. For example the 1st and 2nd Generations are limited on distance you can see and they are not real clear. In fact they are usually very grainy and not clear if that is a correct way of describing it. You might be able to make out a figure at 100 or 75 yards but no distinct details. Some of these also have a real Green tint to the view. Like the old Vietnam Scopes if you have ever seen a movie that they were allegedly looking through one. With the better units they also usually come with an IR Illuminator which is invisible to the human or varmints eyes. But unfortunately to get a good 3rd or 3+ Generation you are looking from $3500 -$6000 for a good NV weapon Scope. So I would ask what are your plans for it. There are other ways to go if you are for example night hunting for varmints. The ATN Company also produces some decent NV. Of course there is Litton, NIVISYS and others. So certainly depends on your needs and for sure your budget! FOR SURE! Bottom line! What ever you buy regarding NV be sure and get a written agreement if it is not what you expect from the product that you can say, return it within like 72 hours. But try it at night before you keep it on a very dark night. You may be very disappointed if you do not and have wasted your hard earned money on nothing that will do the task for you. 03
Its going to be used for night time target shooting, varmint hunting...etc. I checked with local laws as long as I have permission from the landowner I can help them with there pesky coyote problem. Just thinking would be it be cheaper to get a monocle? That way I could use night vision on multiple weapons?

Palmeiro: B12 shot may have caused positive test
WASHINGTON -- Rafael Palmeiro gave his first public explanation of his failed drug test Wednesday, on the eve of a congressional report on whether the former Baltimore Orioles slugger lied under oath when he denied using steroids.
In a statement released by his lawyer, Palmeiro acknowledged several facts of his case that already had been reported, including that the anabolic steroid stanozolol was found in his system in May, and that he had raised the possibility that a shot of vitamin B12 he took in April "might have been the cause."
"I have never intentionally taken steroids," Palmeiro said in the statement.
When he testified before the House Government Reform Committee on March 17, alongside Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco and others, Palmeiro jabbed a finger in the air and said: "I have never used steroids. Period." On Aug. 1, baseball suspended Palmeiro for 10 days after he tested positive for steroids.
Palmeiro Timeline |
• Feb. 14: Jose Canseco accuses players, including Rafael Palmeiro, of steroid use in his autobiography,
"Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big." • March 17: Palmeiro, Canseco, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and others testify under oath during a House Government Reform Committee hearing on steroids. Palmeiro tells lawmakers: "I have never used steroids. Period." • April: Palmeiro takes a shot of vitamin B-12, given to him by a teammate. Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada later acknowledges he was the teammate. • May 3-4: Palmeiro takes a Major League Baseball drug test; his sample is tested. • May 19: Palmeiro is informed his test was positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. • May 27: Palmeiro takes a second test -- not administered by Major League Baseball -- which is negative for steroids. • June 12: Major League Baseball tells Palmeiro he'll be suspended; he asks the players' association to file a grievance. • June 16: At an arbitration panel hearing, Palmeiro says he never knowingly took steroids. He offers a possible explanation for the failed test, saying a teammate gave him a vitamin B-12 shot. The vial was thrown away and never tested. • July 15: Palmeiro collects his 3,000th career hit, a double in the fifth inning of Baltimore's 6-3 victory at Seattle. He becomes the fourth player in major league history with 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. • Aug. 1: After Shyam Das, baseball's independent arbitrator, denies the grievance, Palmeiro is suspended for 10 days. • Aug. 2: In a telephone conversation with House Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., Palmeiro agrees to allow Major League Baseball to give Congress documents related to his steroid tests. • Aug. 3: Davis says his committee will investigate whether Palmeiro committed perjury during the March 17 hearing. • Aug. 11: Palmeiro returns to the Orioles after serving his suspension. • Sept. 5: With two hits in 26 at-bats since the suspension, and hearing boos at home and road games, Palmeiro is sent home to Texas by the Orioles to rehabilitate injuries to his right knee and left ankle. • Sept. 23: The Orioles tell Palmeiro not to return to the team. • Oct. 28: Palmeiro becomes a free agent. • Wednesday: Davis' committee says it will release its report on the Palmeiro case on Thursday. About two hours later, Palmeiro's lawyers release a statement in which he takes responsibility for his failed test and offers the explanation of a tainted B-12 shot for the first time publicly. • Thursday: Davis' committee issues its report, which concludes there isn't enough evidence to pursue perjury charges. "We couldn't find any evidence of steroid use prior to his testimony," Davis says. "That's not a finding of innocence, but it's a finding that we could not substantiate perjury." |
Two days later, Government Reform Committee chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., said the panel would open an investigation into whether Palmeiro committed perjury. A report on that investigation will be released Thursday, and Davis spokesman Dave Marin wouldn't comment Wednesday on the report's contents or Palmeiro's statement.
Major League Baseball executive vice president Rob Manfred declined comment.
"Nobody is more frustrated and disappointed in me than I am. Throughout my adult life, I have worked very hard on and off the field to live my life in an honorable way. All my accomplishments are now tainted, and many people have been hurt," Palmeiro said.
"I deeply regret the pain I have caused my family, my teammates, my fans and the game of baseball. I am sorry for the distraction that I have caused to the Orioles clubhouse and the League. I remain opposed to the use of steroids by athletes."
Palmeiro's case has been cited as one of the reasons that lawmakers have continued to pursue legislation to mandate tougher rules for steroid testing and harsher penalties for positive tests in baseball and other major professional sports leagues. The Senate appears to be nearing a vote on a bill calling for a half-season ban for a first steroid offense, a full-season ban for a second offense, and a lifetime ban for a third.
"Since I was informed last May that I tested positive for steroids, I have fully cooperated with Major League Baseball and Congress in their respective inquiries into this matter," Palmeiro said. "I have done so because I have nothing to hide."
Palmeiro, one of four players in baseball history with 3,000 hits and 500 homers, agreed to let Major League Baseball turn over to Congress information about the failed drug test.
Committee investigators also interviewed some of Palmeiro's current and former teammates and training partners. Those included two-time American League MVP Juan Gonzalez and Colorado outfielder Jorge Piedra, the second player publicly identified under the sport's new steroid rules when he was banned for 10 days in April.
When Palmeiro rejoined the Orioles after his ban, he said he would not speak about the case until Congress concluded its perjury investigation.
Palmeiro, 40, had just two hits in 26 at-bats after returning from his suspension and was booed by spectators at Baltimore and on the road. He was sent home to Texas to rehabilitate injuries; the Orioles eventually told him not to return to the team.

So I got my CC license in the mail yesterday as I mentioned in another thread, and decided to use my new found freedom to go to lunch at a restaurant that has a bar in it.
When I walked in, I saw no gunbuster sign on the window. Great! Then, standing in the front, I look through the bar and find one hanging next to the liquor license (the only place they are required to post one in Arizona). I asked for a manager and a few minutes later she came walking out. I asked about the sign in the bar and why they didn't have one on the front door. She walked out of the doors and looked around the little foyer, then came in surprised that they didn't.
I then asked permission (since now I'd be trespassing if I didn't get permission - gunbuster signs have the force of law here) to go tell my wife that I was headed back out to the car. In truth, we probably would have left. Instead, the manager says, "It's okay, don't worry about anything. We're more worried about people having handguns and getting drunk at the bar, anyway."
So I went in and had a nice lunch with my wife. Kudos to her for being intelligent and not reactionary, but it also means I have to cross Native New Yorker off my list of restaurants.
EDIT: Oops, title should be: Interesting first Meal CC'ing in... Sorry 'bout that!

jbstorm Posts: 6hello....did you ever find the solution to this problem. I have the exact same issue with my 2001 GC. After all kinds of $$$, I finally took out the front shaft and problem went away. Replaced Ujoint on shaft, reinstalled and still there. Only happens exactly when you describe. The noise is just irritating. My guess is something in the front diff. Hopefully you figured this out. Just to clarify, my GC makes a sound like a card clicking the spokes of a bike wheel just in front of the transfer case (appears that way). The noise disappears when the front driveshaft is out but comes back again when reinstalled. It happens either when coming to stop or going over a bump or dip in the road with no brake applied. Very strange noise. Another post confirmed it was not the transfer case. I am baffled.

thundy Posts: 6Sooo... i got my new battery changed & spark plugs had fuel injection system serviced. Today i took my car to the airport, the vibration stars again! Ahhhhh! i have been driving my car just around the blocks & seemed very normal. However, it seems like longer i drive, the vibration occurs. Although my mechanic felt the vibration & he ran some test, he couldn't find any problems. my tires fine.. everything else seems fine. not sure what is the cause???
Happy Holidays! -
dlevings Posts: 2I am hoping you are willing to help me too! I am losing my mind trying to figure this out on my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. I am not positive if my problem is exactly the same, but it is very similar. I have a grinding noise that sounds like it is coming from the driver side front. It has a low grind that continues anytime the accelerator is engaged. It couldn't be heard by others originally, but now even the passengers can hear the grinding. It isn't loud and annoying, but just unsettling. I have replaced bearings, had the transmission broken down looking for a problem, etc. It also "clunks" when making deep turns and shakes when braking with a sharp decline in speed on a downhill slope, but I am unsure if these are related or just more problems. Any help or insight would be VERY much appreciated!!!
trek87 Posts: 49if you have AWD it sounds suspiciously like the transfer case. an inspection of the transmission wouldn't have found anything if it is the transfer case. you'd need to provide more details, but the low-level grinding might be the tc bearings or a loose chain.
as for the turns, you could have a worn axle boot or bad cv joint. if you hear a popping sound when the wheel is hard-over, it's another indication of a bad cv joint or u joint.
it sounds like you have warped brake rotors. -
dlevings Posts: 2Okay...I did a few "tests" last night on my way home from work. I agree that it probably is not the transmission. When I said the low grinding sound is anytime the accelorator is engaged, this was incorrect. It is anytime the vehicle is in motion. If I am stopped, you do not hear the sound. However, if the Jeep is moving...even while shifted into neutral...the sound continues. Over drive on or off does not make a difference either. I do have AWD, so do you still think it is in the transfer case? To describe the sound a little better, it is a combination between a low grinding and the sound large thread tires make on the road....but I don't have large thread tires and the sound did not change when I put new tires on before winter. Are there any specific questions I could answer to make it easier to diagnose? I really appreciate the help! I would love to get this fixed!! This Jeep has just been one problem after another lately.
trek87 Posts: 49the sounds you describe are coming from the transfer case, which is further supported by the fact that you hear the murmuring whenever the vehicle is in motion (even with the transmission open). the murmuring noise should be directly tied to vehicle speed if this is the case, in the sense that the sound gets "faster" as you move faster.
your description sounds virtually identical to what i hear from my 249 TC in my '98 GC. another confirmation would be to move the quadra-trac drive control lever (which is connected directly to the TC) slightly and you may hear the sound become louder or softer while moving. it is also possible the overdrive is contributing at speeds above 40 mph - to test this, disengage the overdrive while coasting and see if it gets a little quieter. the overdrive has a viscous clutch (like the TC) that get's noisy at high mileage.
a noisy TC is common with jeeps, so it's not necessarily something you need to worry about. mine's been getting steadily louder since about 120K, and i now have about 140K. just keep servicing your differentials/TC every 20K and you should be OK. if your TC starts to fail you'll know it . i'll hold off replacing mine until i can no longer hold a conversation inside my truck. but if you have $1500 to throw at it, all the power to you. -
jeeep Posts: 5:confuse: Hi, I have a engine Vibration too. Seems like it started over the summer. Its a 03 4.7v8 LT with 32 thousand miles on it. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times, 1 at a different dealer . Had the 30,000 tune up done also. Had my tiers rotated and it still dose it. It will even has the engine Vibration sitting still with in park and rebbing it to 1500rpm that's were it really like to vibrate at in that area. I can feel it in the steering wheel and pedal. So I have a love & hate thing with my Jeep, I love it when its parked and hate it when I have to drive it. So I don't know what it could be. The dealer just says it normal, the maint guy said it feels like a Jeep. I think it may be the transition ?? Some times that acts up too, when I shift from R to D it will want to die some times??? Any ideas? It dose more weird thing but i will save that for some other time.
Thanks for any ideas. :confuse: :confuse: -
ocarithers Posts: 2I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a new engine in it. Actually the new engine has about 3500 miles on it now. Ever since I replaced it, when I first start it up in the morning and accelerate, I hear a strange gurgling sound coming from beneath the passenger side dash. It sounds like water rushing through a tube or pipe or something?? Did you ever figure this problem out?
indywood Posts: 3top off your coolant system, there isn't enough to stay in the heater core, the "gurgling" you hear is coolant filling the core back up as you accelerate, increasing flow pressure in the coolant system- fairly common for a major engine repair that requires the system to be drained. :shades:
morgan051405 Posts: 2i have a 2002 overland with 55k. once the vehicle has been driving for about 20 min there is a strange sound coming from behind the dash. it is almost like an air switch is having problems. the noise ceases after a while and starts up again. the noise only occurs while the vehicle is on. Any suggestions?

gbb116 Posts: 2There is a noise when i drive and its driving me crazy! say this out load and this is what its doing. vrroo vrrooo vrrooo. it is more promident on the highway around 45 mph and up. its in the front end. it stops when i accelerate, and then then i just maintain highway speed it does it. it sounds like noisy high tread tires but thats not the case. i also just had the tires balanced. This is happening in 2wd. again it sounds like its in the front. Im thinking maybe wheel bearings?>?? have no idea where to start. transfer case. differentials, wheel bearings. tranny? on the highway i shift into neutral and it still makes noise. any help is very appreciated, this one has me stuck and very annoyed while driving.
EEDude Posts: 1I had a somewhat similar problem with my jeep. It started out by making noise like a rattling, and over time it got worse. I took it to the shop and they said they needed to flush and refill all my fluids (transfer case and differentials). But that did NOT fix anything and the sound kept getting worse. The only reason it sounded better during acceleration is because the noise of the engine accelerating dampened the noise of the rattle now turned to metal grinding in the front end. I read these blogs and then I bought a Haynes manual just so I would know what I was looking at. I found that one of the boots on my front drive shaft (transfer case side) was torn all the way around and the grease had all leaked out over time. I simply over-greased the thing and the noise completely went away (100%). Not sure if you have the same problem because it could be a lot of things, but thought I would share. If you notice that the noise increases with speed, you might want to examine your drive shafts...
trek87 Posts: 49The overdrive inside the transmission is also a possibility. When accelerating, torque is applied to the transmission and it tends to pull things 'tight' (the overdrive has a viscous clutch that can wear out over time). This might explain why it occurs at highway speeds as well. Good luck.

I have a Capital One non secured card since 2006. The card limit was $300 and then they increased the CL to $500 after 6 months and 2 years ago they increased to $2000. I know Capital one CL is very hard to get but I would like to try getting a CL on this card. I have read many members of the forum had success calling the executive office or emailing them. I tried to look for their number in the forum but didn't get that information. If any one has Capital One Executive Office phone number or email address, would you please PM me the information?
Thank you for your help.
There been several new threads in the past 48hrs about the Cap1 EO no longer giving out CLi.
Of course some have said they still had success so YMMV.
The information you are looking for is all over the web and this web site.
The EO number is 1-800-955-1455.
They don't 'give out' CLIs anyway. What they do is actually physically bring your credit report and request to a human being analyst to make a decision.. which is very hard to come by with Capital One since almost every decision in the company is made by a computer. Give it a shot.. there is no harm in trying. It's a soft pull. Cap One pulls your credit once a month and keeps it on file.. so they go by that. If you have anything significantly different that is positive on your CR and you want them to see it, specifically request a hard pull.. if you can afford it..
PM sent with e-mail information.

St. Louis, Mo. – St. Louis School Board member Bill Haas wants the Missouri Ethics Commission to investigate four of his fellow board members who ran as a slate and were elected in April.
Haas alleges the St. Louis Education Coalition-a political action committee-violated campaign finance rules by coordinating spending between the candidates.
"The first step would be for the ethics commission to determine to what
extent campaign finance laws prohibiting coordination and control and cooperation between a PAC running a campaign on behalf of candidates and the candidates is prohibited," Haas said.
Haas was not specific on which rules may have been violated, citing only a 1996 campaign finance opinion by the Missouri Ethics Commission.
A spokesman for the Education Coalition says the allegations are off-base.

Well the 30lbs is what I gained since March (when I was diagnosed), so my first goal is to get there and see how I'm doing/looking. It should help, especially with all the medications I take c: Just Dance is really fun, I live in a second floor condo and even using a treadmill didn't bother my downstairs neighbors. It also just depends on how thin/thick your walls and floors are.
I bet it does! Our floors and walls are very thin. Trust me when I say I'd cause an earthquake lol. It's why I have to step lightly when I walk into my home. But a condo has better floors than apartments do xp . I want to go out and start running. It's just been the initiative of putting on all the gear I have to put on. Which yes I know is an excuse, but I've been making myself walk quite a bit. If I don't run, then I can briskly walk for at least 30 minutes a day. It's a start for me, but eventually after I move I will start running. Once I get in a habit of it, then it'll all fit together!
