I saw a Dior dress in a fashion magazine (can't find an online picture of it) which I like exept for its weird bow at the waist. I created the pattern for this dress based on what I could see in the magazine: front darts which start very close to the center, fitted bodice to the waist, fitted three quarter length sleeves, Marie-like skirt (but with the pleats arranged a bit differently). For ease in walking and sitting, I made it with a smooth back with slit. I like the end result, but I only wear it with colourfull thights, otherwise it's too severe looking.
Oh, and sorry for the strange face I'm making. It's hard to pose well for a camera on self-timer ;)
black-and-white herringbone tweed, lining, blind zipper.
well, the house of Dior, I guess

The Giant Claw is a 1957 science fiction film about a giant bird that terrorizes the world. Produced by Clover Productions under the working title "Mark of the Claw" and released through Columbia Pictures, it starred Jeff Morrow and Mara Corday and was directed by Fred F. Sears. The film has been a staple of the bootleg video market, with only two official VHS releases (one in the USA through Goodtimes Home Video and the other through Screamtime in the United Kingdom) to date. Columbia Pictures finally released the film officially to DVD in October 2007 as part of the two disc four film set Icons of Horror Collection - Sam Katzman.
Mitch MacAfee (Jeff Morrow), while engaged in a radar test flight, spots an unidentified flying object. Jets are scrambled to pursue and identify the object but one goes missing. Officials are initially angry at MacAfee over the loss of a pilot and jet over what they believe to be a hoax, but are forced to take his story seriously after several other planes disappear. A gigantic bird "as big as a battleship", purported to come from an antimatter galaxy, is responsible for all the incidents. Mitch, his mathematician girlfriend Sally Caldwell (Mara Corday), Dr. Karol Noymann (Edgar Barrier), Gen. Considine (Morris Ankrum) and Gen. Van Buskirk (Robert Shayne), work feverishly to develop a way to defeat the seemingly invincible enemy. The climactic showdown takes place in New York City, with the bird attacking both the Empire State and United Nations buildings. It is defeated by a special type of isotope which brings down its anti-matter shield, allowing missiles to kill her as she crashs into the ocean outside New York City. The last scene shows the creature's claw sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

This section requires expansion. (December 2014) |
A character in the film mistakes the bird for La Carcagne which is alleged in the film to be a monster from French Canadian folklore that resembles a giant woman with a wolf's head and bat-like black wings and which, like the Banshee, is a harbinger of death.[1]
This section requires expansion. (December 2014) |
The Giant Claw has been mocked for the quality of its special effects.[2][3][4] The bird in particular is considered by many to be badly made, being a marionette puppet with a very odd face. The film is also riddled with stock footage, including clips of the explosion of the Los Angeles City Hall from War of the Worlds and collapse of the Washington Monument from Earth vs the Flying Saucers during the bird's attack on New York City, making continuity a serious issue.
Morrow later confessed in an interview that no one in the film knew what the titular monster looked like until the film's premiere. Morrow himself first saw the film in his hometown, and hearing the audience laugh every time the monster appeared on screen, he left the theater early, embarrassed that anyone there might recognize him (he allegedly went home and began drinking).[5]

Bring Baack It's A Knockout
Lets bring back It's A Knockout to TV. (not FOXTEL) Those people who don't know the show please read below and lets get this show back It's a Knockout was an Australian television show that aired in the mid-late 1980's. It was based on the French "Jeux sans frontières". The competitors represented their state of origin, one of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria or South Australia. In each show the four states competed against each other in events that were quite wacky to say the least. Although the competitors were generally ordinary members of the public, some amazingly heroic and athletic feats were often seen. Competing teams were formed from local Apex clubs and other groups, e.g. surf-lifesavers and comprised about eight men and women each. From the Let's Bring Back It's A Knockout Facebook page. It's A Knockout was last shown on Channel 10 in the early or late 90s. But hasn't been on since. And I think no-one knows if Channel 10 still have the tapes.

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets. And remember:
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies. 1. The Japanese eat very little fat
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. CONCLUSION Eat and drink what you like.

Are you serious ?
When jackd is autostarted by an app (with the wrong
settings, a separate problem), it creates a dbus daemon
that seems to prevent qjackctl to start jackd with
the right settings. The result is a jackd that does
not any way correspond the the setup in qjackctl, and
there is no way to escape from this, except by manually
killing the daemon. Do you call that 'working pretty
well' ?
When qjackctl starts displaying ports that don't
exist anymore and does not display those that
do exist (no problem with jack-0.116.1) do you
call that 'working pretty well' ?
I'd call it completely broken.

Slide Show: Scott Brown Dada Protest Art
Scott Brown's vote yesterday to block the GOP filibuster of the $15 billion jobs bill has cost him nothing less than his own Facebook page. Tea Partiers have not only hijacked the Wall of his Fanpage—and the Wall of his daughter's Fanpage—they've also uploaded a stream of tasteful anti-Scott Brown protest images. Herewith, a slide show of some of the fan photos uploaded in the last 24 hours. Original captions have been preserved, although a picture is of course worth a thousand randomly selected and misspelled words.
Caption, verbatim: "The New Poster Boy for any candidate or Senator or Congressman, to include any President, that blayently lies to their supporters!"

I have been breeding and training dogs for over 17 years. I started my journey when I was 12 years old and got my first dog from the local humane society, he was a pomeranian mix. I taught him every trick I could possibly think of to teach a dog. I raised German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers for almost 10 years and then I met a Standard Poodle and fell in love with the breed. I started researching the Standard Poodle.
Standard Poodles are truely a versatile breed! Like me, everyone has heard of how smart they are. I can't even describe how much this statement is true, beyond belief. Once you own a Standard, you truely will never own another breed again.
Look around the site, if you have any questions or wish to come and visit us, please call (218) 368-1185 We would love to talk with you!!! Hope to see you soon!

Owensville Community Theatre to hold play October 11-13
- Details
- Parent Category: News
- Category: Entertainment
- Written by Rob Viehman
- Hits: 218
By Any Other Name, stage play (and novella) written by Cheryl Fehrmann Okimoto, directed by Kaye West, will be held at the Owensville Community Theatre, N. First Street, Owensville on October 11 and 12 at 7 p.m. and October 13 at 4 p.m.
They say that "close" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but it also counts in historical fiction, especially when it includes the aforementioned horseshoes! In the rich and colorful history of Owensville, Missouri, one of the most interesting events is how the tiny settlement at the junction of Iron Road and Springfield Road got its name.
It's a well-known fact that in 1847 the mercantile owner Frank Owen and the blacksmith Edward Luster had a horseshoe match for the naming rights. Only a few other details have been preserved, and while they are interesting, they aren't necessarily entertaining! Since historical fiction needs to be entertaining, let's stick close to the basic facts, but tweak a few others, and imagine the possibilities!
That gives us By Any Other Name, a fictional account of the naming of Owensville. We still have the horseshoe match and the men who challenge each other. But now there's also a battle for a young girl's hand in marriage, plots, counterplots and plenty of characters who aren't necessarily what they first appear to be! Come and see what adventures will arise on the road to the birth of "Owensville"! Bring your imagination and enjoy By Any Other Name, an original production written by author Cheryl Fehrmann Okimoto.
Cheryl was born and raised in Kirkwood but moved to Bay when she was ten. She is a 1980 Hermann graduate. During fifteen years with the Army, both as an active duty soldier and as a military spouse, Cheryl lived in various places, including Germany, Kansas and New York.
Her military affiliation was interrupted for a few years during which she obtained a B.A. in History from Lincoln University in Jefferson City. A couple years after her discharge in 2000, she moved to Paradise, a.k.a. Hawaii, where she met and married Paul Okimoto.
In November 2011, Paul retired and they moved to Missouri, which Paul claims is also Paradise! They now live in Owensville, and are active members of the community.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Main Street Capital (MAIN - Get Report) stock is trading lower on Tuesday after pricing its 4-million share offering.
By late morning, shares had tumbled 4% to $31.27. Trading volume of 1.9 million was more than six times its three-month daily average.
The company said it will offer common stock at $31.50 a share with net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts of around $121.4 million. The underwriters have also been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares.
In a statement, Main Street Capital said it intends to use net proceeds to "purchase additional shares, to initially repay outstanding debt borrowed under its credit facility, and then through re-borrowing under the credit facility, to make investments in accordance with its investment objective and strategies, to make investments in marketable securities and idle funds investments, to pay operating expenses and other cash obligations, and for general corporate purposes."
Raymond James, Goldman Sachs, Baird & Co. and RBC Capital Markets will act as underwriters for the offering. Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORP (MAIN) a BUY. This is driven by multiple strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, expanding profit margins and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 7.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 27.6%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- The gross profit margin for MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORP is currently very high, coming in at 83.02%. Regardless of MAIN's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, MAIN's net profit margin of 63.38% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Capital Markets industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORP has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORP's earnings per share declined by 30.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. Earnings per share have declined over the last two years. We anticipate that this should continue in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, MAIN STREET CAPITAL CORP reported lower earnings of $2.66 versus $3.54 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 13.9% in earnings ($2.29 versus $2.66).

The Wiitard safety videoBefore you pick up that Wiimote, then abruptly call a lawyer, perhaps you should watch the video above first. The kind folks at G4's Attack of the Show were nice enough to put together a little safety training vid for all those potential Wiitards out there who can't seem to grasp the concept of how to play the Nintendo Wii. Hell, maybe Ninty should think about packin' in this thing with each console. Do you think that would make the lawyers happy? Comments not appearing?

A 3-lb. Laptop Introduced by Apple in January 2008 as "the World's Thinnest Notebook"
< read all 1 reviewsWhat did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
The MacBook Air is a Macintosh notebook computer designed by Apple. It is positioned as the ultraportable in Apple's MacBook Family and was introduced at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 15, 2008. Apple describes it as the "world's thinnest notebook".
To reduce the computer's size and weight, Apple omitted certain features long standard on laptops. It is Apple's first notebook since the PowerBook 2400c without a built-in removable media drive. Users may purchase an external USB SuperDrive, or use bundled Remote Disc software to access the optical drive of another computer. It is the first subcompact laptop offered by Apple since the full-featured 12" PowerBook G4 was discontinued in 2006.
Similarly to the PowerBook Duo series which preceded it, it lacks many features of the larger MacBooks, including a security slot and an Ethernet port, (although a USB-to-Ethernet adapter may be purchased separately). The MacBook Air has a single USB port. Like the entry-level MacBook, the MacBook Air lacks Cardbus and ExpressCard slots, and does not have a FireWire port.

City Supporters Praised By Yorkshire Police
Praise for City support
Coventry City supporters, who were at Elland Road for the Sky Blues 1-1 draw against Leeds United, have been praised for their behaviour
The Yorkshire Police Match Commander when talking about the City support, commented how polite and helpful everyone was.
Unfortunately, the same could not be said for a Yorkshire Police photographer, who took a number of pictures of City supporters as they took their seats in the Main Stand at Elland Road prior to kick off, causing some resentment, amongst innocent supporters who were annoyed that they had been photographed without any grounds to do so.

Nothing makes a short person like me feel more absurd than driving a massive, I'm-compensating-for-my-height pickup truck like this F-150 Lariat extended-cab 4x4. The parking lot attendant, who's seen me pull up to his booth in some pretty ridiculous vehicles, had to stifle a laugh and was compelled to ask, "Are you okay?"
Needless to say, this is not my kind of transportation. But I still appreciate how much trucks in general have improved over the years. The interior, as others have noted, was fantastic. Truck owners everywhere can thank the now-passing luxury-SUV phenomenon for bringing their cabins up to modern spec.
Dynamically, the F-150 was easy enough to manage. I had just finished a weekend in the Honda Fit and was able to avoid crashing into anything despite the extra four feet in length. Of course it helps that, as Joe noted, people get the hell out of your way as soon as they see you coming. Acceleration wasn't stellar, but the F-150 cruised with much greater ease on the highway than the four-speed-automatic F-150 I drove last fall.
I found the ride harsh, especially over train tracks, just as one would expect with an empty truck bed. Like everyone else, I'm anxious to see how the Dodge Ram performs with its rear coil springs. I'm honestly surprised that Ford, with its dozens of F-150 variants, was not the first to think of offering at least a few versions of its best seller with such a setup.

Chrysler Town & Country/Dodge Caravan Door & Window Problems
tportertexas Posts: 6I have the 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT and on a cold start up I hear a loud vibrating noise that last for up to a minute. I have had it to the dealer service center 4 times.. I am takin it back tomorrow!! They keep saying at cold start up they dont hear this noise.. yet I got it back today and 5 hours after no start, sure enough at start up it did it again!. My husband says it sounds like something with the exhaust. ANyone else having a problem like this?? Please help! Very frustrated and sorry I purchased this thing! P.S. I have had the sliding door problem too! Had my daughters purse taken one time when the door came back open! So sad!
gtgirlee Posts: 1This happened to me last summer and cost a couple-hundred to fix. Look down in the sides where it has something that looks kind of like a plastic bike chain... that is likely where the problem is coming from esp. if it is just one door. What happens is crumbs, dirt, dust, rocks etc get in there and inside that is wiring for your door, something gets pinched etc... and wala, ISSUE! I reccomend taking it to the dealer and having them check but I had the SAME problem. Door would pop open and not slide back.
artworx76 Posts: 1Hi Boogiemanpa,
I just read your post...I am having the same problem. I just purchased a 06 Dodge GC a month ago and have the leak in the exact place you mentioned.(the first heavy rain since the purchase) Were you able to find a solution? I would really love any info you could throw my way. Thank you . -
tportertexas Posts: 6I first posted this several weeks ago. It is still doing it and seems worse. My husband keeps saying it has to do with the exhaust, but the dealership service center can not seem to find it, or it does not do it when they have it for a couple days at a time. Just thought I'd re post to see if anyone else is having a problem with a vibrating humming type noise at start up and lasts a few minutes. I actually think im hearing it while driving now too. thx

xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,740Well, sometimes those heat shields can be tricky. For instance, I have one on my car that vibrates, but it is not "loose" in the sense that there is a nut that needs tightening. In this case, the shield just resonates with the vibration from the engine and produces a sound. If I bend it just a little, the sound stops for a while.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
hcederlof Posts: 3My motor for the passenger side front door window of my 2005 Grand Voyager died and I bought a used one.
While replacing the motor the window slid down and I dropped the central part from where all the cables in the mechanic part comes out from and I now need to find a way to set it up again so I can first of all make the window stay up (without duct tape) and secondly use it again.
Can anyone please describe whow this is done?
Unfortunately this is not described in the Haynes manuals.
Thanks -
356 Posts: 4I bought my TC Limited last July and have now passed 10,000 miles with NO problems whatsoever. Not one problem has surfaced, and this is the first car I have owned which has not needed air added to the tires ever. I am really pleased with the 4.0 Liter engine. If I take it real easy it gets better mileage than my old 3.8 did and I have plenty of acceleration when needed. So far the worst tankful has been 17mpg in February and the best mileage was 28mpg on a level 200 mile portion of the New York State Thruway with only a slight side wind. 25mpg is easy to get at 65-70mph. I do take it easy on the accelerator. Cheers, Bye from Vic in Westport MA
vlphil Posts: 1I bought an 08 t an c limited and what a total piece of [non-permissible content removed] its turning into. i dont even want to look at it at this point. I always try to buy american in life so i went for the chrysler even though my brain was saying odyssey.Shouldve listened. So far lately, power steering hose recall, huge bulge in center of rear bumper that grows with heat, top of front passenger side bumper keeps popping out, both power sliding doors detect obstacles that arent there and reverse themselves, drivers side sliding door constantly thinks its ajar and lets us constantly know with an assortment of chimes,lights flickering, messages, and locks opening and closing. And the best part is the dealer cant seem to fix it. Not to mention the a pillar whistle at high speeds. when i picked it up today i noticed that the mechanic chipped the front headlight and front bumper and tried to cover it up with some touch up paint and the dealer tried to get away with it, unbelievable. I will never ever as long as i live buy another chrysler product, i hope anyone considering it reads this. Uhhhhhh
jpf Posts: 496When Cerberus took over Chrysler in late 2007, I knew it was bad news. This company just fips businesses in order to make a quick buck. The 2008 and 2009 Chrysler models have the worst quality in the industry and their own worst quality in years. I think the Chrysler merger with Fiat is a blessing for Chrysler. They have individuals who have knowledge about the car business and care about the company. I believe you will see Chrysler improve upon its quality from now on. I own a 2006 Dodge Caravan that I bought brand new and have never brought it in for warranty work. I had the front brakes done 6 months ago at 32k miles. The original rotors are still on the van. I replaced the original tires at 35k miles. Otherwise, only routine maintenance has been done on the vehicle. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 2007 PT Cruiser with only 5,500 miles on it. I don't plan on giving up on Chrysler. Keep the faith.
jiminsandiego Posts: 4Hello Boogie,
We had the same problem, I took it to a windshield repair place and they said the leak was coming from the outside seal on the right side for the windshield. The water runs down the rubber roof seal to the front windshield and then under the seal. The windshield guy took some sealant inside and moved the inside overhead back and down a little and was able to fix the problem. Haven't had a leak in over 2 yrs. My advice, take it to a windshield repair place and tell them where the leak is and have them seal it from inside. That solved our problem (knock on my desk). I think the problem is if you have the windshield replaced the replacement seal that goes around the new windshield isn't correctly manufactured or something so it doesn't seal around the windshield correctly. -
samnoe Posts: 731But as noted somewhere above, the 2006 MY (I had the 2005 MY, which is basically the same) is MUCH MORE reliable than the 2008. Drives and handles better too. Chrysler improved 2008 with features, and went back with all the rest.
And I see no change coming for 2010. Why don't they offer the 4.0L engine accross the line? It's still not as smooth, quiet or refined as any other engine in its class; but at least it offers more power and better mileage than the aging 3.8L which is 60 horsepower less than competition!! Why don't they improve driving dynamics, handling, mute road impacts, interior controls, and more!?? -
erols Posts: 3Your answer seems like the best, most logical and informative one for my window issues. I was about to buy a whole regulator assembly, or motor. But I will attempt your procedure first.
When you say you crimped yours in a vise, Do you mean you bypassed the fuse altogether? I'm all for that, I doubt the door motor is going to be starting any fires. -
pdmini Posts: 1Is there anyway to manually operate the rear vent windows of a T&C minivan that are powered. Own 2000 T&C that son has at college and not willing to fix $$$ motor(s) but would still like the air flow. Van is a daily driver for son with extreme high mileage. Any imaginitive suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks -
devdogaz Posts: 1I have a 2005 Town & Country. The power door locks all work fine except for the driver's side sliding door. Problem is, when you manually lock the door, then you can't open the power slider with the key because it remains locked. Wouldn't be a big deal, but wife is pregnant and with a new baby, she's not going to want to put the baby down to unlock that door by hand.
I'm guessing there's not an individual fuse for each door, so it's likely something else. Any suggestions of what to try before I take it in and have to pay to get it fixed? -
snowwolf777 Posts: 1II am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of my 2008 Town and Country van. I have 49,000 miles on it, and today it's down for brakes, a wheel bearing, wheel hub, and tie rod. About $800 in repairs.
This follows a few weeks ago when it was down for about $500 in air conditioner repair due to a "bad line" that apparently was a known issue. Service writer admitted he "sees a lot of them". Then why in the hell don't you allow it's a bad part and replace it free?
I have poured more money into this vehicle at 49,000 miles than I did with my 2003 Windstar in total. I put 249,000 miles on the Windstar, and only did 3 brake jobs, tires and fluid changes.
It's not like I off-road or abuse this vehicle. It's all highway. And of course, nothing is a recall or factory/dealer issue where anything is subsidized.
I can understand the brakes being gone and needing to be replaced as normal wear/tear. But the bearing/hub? I haven't had a wheel bearing or hub go bad on a car since the 70s. And a tie rod? An acknowledged faulty air conditioner line and I have to pay for it?
Rear hatch latch assy was also bad, causing the interior lights to stay on and door ajar warning to constantly be on, even when the hatch was closed and secured. This would have been another several hundred dollars for an entirely new latch, had I chosen to fix it instead of just cutting the offending wires to the sensor.
I am frustrated and disappointed. Never, never, never again will I have a Chrysler And I will make sure every friend, relative and internet car quality forum knows of the problems I've had, and cash I've had to lay out. Unfortunately, I'm sure there are more problems and expenses to come. -
srs_49 Posts: 1,394My experience has been more in line with samnoe's. I have a 2007 Grand Caravan (the last year of that version) with 52,000 miles and have only touched the front brakes - nothing else.
It's unfortunate but Chrysler and D3 products tend to have significant teething problems every time they revamp the line or even come out with a new model. -
jerry109 Posts: 4Yes, the dealer told me while replacing the front wheel bearing (yes already) that mine needed replacing. I have owned several and this has not been a problem. There should be a recall on these. This is after I have had back bumper cover replaced, anti thief switch which will shut van down, gear switch is noisy and button hangs and goes from 1750 rpms to 2500 in speed control continuously.
They say it is normal to do that. -
mom2lns Posts: 1I have the same problem (but on the passenger side). I took it in to the dealership--and they told me it was the motor and would cost about $450 (if I remember correctly--maybe it was $650). It's so frustrating because it went RIGHT after the warranty expired. We've kind of adjusted to only using the driver's side door. I don't want to pay that much, and I'm totally sceptical everytime I go to the dealership.
Does each door have its own motor? I can't believe one door would stop working but the other still works absolutely fine. -
noni4 Posts: 6
noni4 Posts: 6:lemon: Yes, I too was frustrated when I found out my front brakes were shot at 9,500 miles. I bought my car in March of 08 and for the first 4 months it was in the shop for one reason or another. I had a 2000 Dodge van and never had problems with brakes or anything else. This one is falling apart. I already had struts, brakes numerous replacements of the radio which goes out for who knows why. The panels keep coming loose, the doors do not shut as it shows the obstacle message, it makes a siren like noise when driving, the defrosters, hmm of course they cannot duplicate the problem as it takes over a 1/2 hour to get to the dealer it's like driving a clunker. I cannot afford to trade mine in, if I could I would
intrepidacious Posts: 5We have a 2009 Town & Country 4.0L, and it's been great. The power doors are a little overly sensitive when closing, so occasionally they'll reverse for fear they might hurt someone! Silly. Other than that it's been smooth and nice. I would like to have seen more anti-roll, but I guess it's a minivan, not a sport sedan...
I actually got the 4.0L on this 25th anniversary Touring edition, which apparently is kinda rare? I guess the 4.0L is mostly on the Limiteds. The 4.0L engine and 6-speed automatic are a great combination -- you can floor it from a stoplight and it acts like a wannabe racecar, zipping through the gears and accelerating to 60 in about 7.8 seconds.
Compare published 0-60 times for current model year vans, and you'll find that the Town & Country with the 4.0L can actually outrun Odyssey's & Siennas.
The 4.0L isn't the most powerful engine in its class, but it's very torquey. It has a long stroke for improved low rpm torque, which is exactly what's needed for a heavy VAN for engine response around town. The 4.0-liter V-6 engine improves the torque curve in the low- to mid-range for more pep during acceleration from idle. Focusing more on low- to mid-range means that maximum power of 251hp is not as high as you might expect from a 4.0L engine, but a few horsepower at the top end won't be missed in a VAN, while the broad torque curve throughout the rpm range is really appreciated.
But the 4.0L engine is just an enlargement of the 3.5L SOHC V6 and is just a stopgap measure until the new Pentastar engine line debuts shortly. Keep in mind that the 2.7L DOHC, the 3.3/3.8L pushrod engines, and the 3.5L/4.0L SOHC engines are basically all the same engine family. (Only the 3.7L V6 seen in Durango and Liberty is different, being based off of the 4.7L V8.)
So we'll have a whole new "Pentastar" V6 engine family to replace all these V6's very soon! Several sizes will be available including a 3.6L with 280hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. and possibly a future 4.0L. -
moosetnt Posts: 18Have a 2008 Town&Country Limited. Problems from the start. Air conditioner not cooling properly, sliding doors rattle, don't close properly at times, rear power seat fails constantly, Uconnect resets, NAV system looses my data. Just picked it up from service. They flashed the computers with updates. Checked the air conditioner for trouble codes (none reported). Doors still rattle as bad as ever, back seat still does not recline properly and the air conditioner blows cold then warm air (cycles). When the vehicle was brand new I had none of these problems. All started at about 1,000 miles. I now have 10,0000 miles. Will be going back to the dealer again next week for another shot. If problems persist I'll give them one more shot. Then on to a lemon law attorney.

Hi there, I am setting up a home in Palawan, Philippines and would like to grow figs... Does anyone know if this is possible here and does anyone know where I could purchase some trees?? Thank you and hope to get a response.. |

figs should grow in the Philippines. not sure how much rainfall your area gets. if there's too much rainfall, i'd suggest making a raised bed so its root wont be sitting in water too much. probably best to ask around, the locals might have some figs and give you some cuttings. |

Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- ENN Energy Holdings Ltd., the gas supplier making a joint bid for China Gas Holdings Ltd., fell the most in more than 1 1/2 years on concern that it may need to increase its offer after investors raised stakes in the target.
The shares fell 8.1 percent to close at HK$22.05, the biggest decline since June 2, 2010. China Gas advanced 0.8 percent in Hong Kong to HK$3.70, while the benchmark Hang Seng index fell 0.3 percent.
China Gas, which distributes natural gas in 20 Chinese provinces, rebuffed a HK$15.3 billion ($2 billion) hostile takeover offer by ENN Energy and China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. on Dec. 14. South Korean investment group SK Holdings Co. and Fortune Oil Plc increased their stakes in the company this week, filings with the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission show.
"Since SK wants to increase its stake, there's more concern among investors that ENN may have to raise its bid," said Kenny Cheung, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Core Pacific- Yamaichi International Ltd. "The market won't welcome ENN Energy raising the bid from the current price," he said.
Fortune Oil bought 11.1 million shares of China Gas over the past two days, according to the filings. SK E&S Co., a unit of SK Holdings, acquired 2.16 million shares on Jan. 10, the company said in a filing.
SK E&S plans to spend as much as 120 billion won ($104 million) to buy additional China Gas shares, Reuters reported today, citing an unidentified spokeswoman for SK Holdings.

Composing for Drama vs Horror: Fernando Velázquez's Scores for 'The Impossible' and 'Mama'
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on January 24, 2013 | Be the First To CommentI applauded composer Fernando Velázquez last year for his score for The Impossible, a film wrought with drama in which Velázquez wisely kept his music to the background rather than trying to influence the raw emotions on screen. But Velázquez's latest project has audiences hearing a very different side of the composer – one of suspense and intrigue with his score for the Guillermo del Toro-produced Mama. Velázquez switches modes here, wasting little time bringing audiences into what del Toro described as a "fairytale gone wrong" with the first track, "The Car and the Radio" quickly putting you on the edge of your seat. Unlike his score for The Impossible, which drew audiences into the film slowly, Velázquez is at full tilt here, utilizing a full orchestra (and some ominous choral elements) which become a part of this world rather than simply keeping to the background of it.
Fernando Velázquez Takes on 'The Impossible' Feat of Adding To Emotion Rather than Manipulating It
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on December 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentIt is devastating whenever something tragic and unexpected happens, but when tragedy hits during the holidays, normally a time of celebration and good cheer, the impact seems even greater. As a nation, we know this feeling all too well due to the recent events in Connecticut, but this was sadly not the first time an unthinkable event occurred during a time when people are usually focusing on giving thanks and looking back over the year. In 2004, a deadly tsunami hit the coast of South East Asia, demolishing buildings, land, and people caught in its path. While this kind of natural event is much different than the harm caused by a person, the emotions related to suddenly losing, or being separated from, loved ones become the universal tenants of these awful situations. The images and stories that came out in the wake of this tsunami spoke for themselves, but The Impossible adds a personal touch by taking audiences inside the experience through the real life story of a family who was vacationing over the holidays in Thailand when the unthinkable struck and their lives were forever changed. The idea of a family being physically separated by powers beyond their control is enough to bring out one's emotions and get your pulse racing which makes the task of a composer, in this case Fernando Velázquez, all the more daunting because music is not necessary to conjure up the emotions being felt and displayed on screen.
AFI FEST 2012 Review: 'The Impossible' Is Stunning, Moving, and May Make You Rethink Your Next Vacation
AFI Fest By Allison Loring on November 5, 2012 | Comments (2)The ocean is a beautiful and terrifying body of nature that can both entice and trap. Anyone who has been caught in a riptide or had an unexpected wave suddenly crash over their heads knows the power of the ocean, and the fear it can cause if it overtakes you. When the tsunami hit Southeast Asia in 2004, we all saw the devastation that disaster caused to the area and heard about the lives lost and families torn apart because of it. Based on a true story, The Impossible goes a step further and actually takes us into the experience through the eyes of a family on an idyllic vacation that suddenly gets turned on its head. Maria (Naomi Watts) and Henry (Ewan McGregor) have traveled to Thailand with their three sons Lucas (Tom Holland), Simon (Oaklee Pendergast), and Thomas (Samuel Joslin) to spend the Christmas holiday at a luxurious resort making their biggest question whether they want to swim in the resort's pool or the nearby ocean. The day after Christmas the entire family is out by the pool, playing and relaxing, when the tsunami hits, proving to be as unexpected as it is relentless.

The Save the Dates were very impressive and everyone loved them and complimented them. Also the price was great, for a low budget this is the perfect place to go.

Diamond Date Save the Date Magnets Loved the magnet. It is a great product for a great price.
Magnet Save the Date
Diamond Date Save the Date Magnets They turned out perfect! Very sturdy magnet. I was actually surprised at how sturdy it is! it is able to hold things up on the fridge (more than one sheet of paper). If i could give the rating a 4.75 instead of a 5 then i would have. My only complaint: It states that you receive extras if there are any due to how the printing process works...the problem, i didn't get enough envelopes!! I was 6 envelopes short :( disappointed at that. Overall though, i am thoroughly impressed at the design, colors, everything. Perfect.
A great save the date!
Modern Chevron Save the Date Magnets I was very impressed by not only the quality of the magnet but also the impressive website and company. I don't think anyone could go wrong when you order something from them. My save the dates turned out wounderful thanks to magnetstreet.

Ahmadinejad is said to be contemplating resigning after Heidar Moslehi, the intelligence minister he had sacked, was reinstated by Khamenei.
The president is understood to have shirked some of his duties and skipped cabinet meetings for the past ten days in anger over the decision.
Mehrdad Khonsari, an analyst with the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies in London, told Al Jazeera on Friday that the dispute, which began last month, had become "serious".

Not so much drought right here, as no rain. (I suppose that is a difference.) I hit the weeds along a walkway with RoundUp in the morning after the dew dried, and they were turning brown by late afternoon. Now THAT'S HOT, drought or not. Hmmmm, Ken, throw them on your driveway. |
It's bad here too Ken! What was I thinking when I moved a butterfly bush yesterday? Frost + Freeze + Drought = Ugly hostas. The ones that were planted last fall look like carp! The older ones are handling it better! Gesila |
Don't know about MI ken; IL, last 20 days, 0 rain in 18, <1" total the remaining 2, and daytime highs averaging 9 degrees above normal and sunny-sunny-sunny! Since I'm not home to water, will this toughen them up for a long hot summer? Les |

No appreciable rain here for two weeks. We're supposed to start getting some tomorrow,and they certainly need it! Phil |

I'll pray for rain for you all. Is it common for MI to be in drought conditions or is this a rarity this year? |
Minnesota and Wisconsin are pretty darn wet. The dock at our lake cabin is level with the water and you squish when you walk on it. The hostas are huge. Sun Power is about to eat a nearby maple tree. This from today's Minneapolis Star Tribune.....By Sunday night, the Twin Cities was nearing the precipitation record for May of 10.33 inches. |
- Posted by redanteater none (My Page) on Tue, May 29, 12 at 1:38
In northeast IN, we haven't had a drop of rain for the entire month of May. But, there are two days of rain predicted this week, and hopefully something actually happens this time. |
I would happily send you all some of the soakers we have had here in eastern PA. The ground is so saturated there is standing water in my lawn. Bed edges look like moats and it is way too wet to mow the grass or walk around the beds to weed. Feast or famine! Alexa |
For the first couple of weeks in May we didn't have much rain to even matter. One day last week we had a good soaking rain. Looks like we're about to get some more right now. Karen |
It's bad here in my corner of NW Illinois. There was a half inch of rain a few miles south of me last night, and a good rain a few miles north, but we got sprinkles. No measurable rain here since the end of April. I have hostas going dormant from heat and lack of moisture. I watered before I left for Minnesota last week....watched about 4 inches of rain come down last Wed eve and all day Thursday in Burnsville, MN, but there was none here while I was gone. I started the sprinkler up Saturday, and am less than 1/3 of the way around the garden. So sad to see hostas laying on the ground and going dormant at the end of May. They are predicting a chance for rain this week, but then we were supposed to get heavy rain yesterday and it all went right around us. |
- Posted by sally_grower (My Page) on Tue, May 29, 12 at 9:44
Central IL looks like August. Grass is turning crispy brown and the hostas are really starting to show signs of stress. I have way too many to water, so only the strong will survive this. The newly transplanted are getting a hand delivered drink every other day, but they don't look good with the temps in the mid 90's. We were supposed to have rain last night....lots of lightning.....but not a drop of rain. |
I feel for you guys. We had a bad year last year - hot and dry. Fortunatley, I was able to water. It was so hot though, that everything turned crispy anyway. My hosta looked terrible, as did everything else. I didn't loose any hosta, though. Only the small ones came back smaller. Everything else looked like they had a nice year last year. If only I'd been that lucky with the lawn.... bkay |
I'm surprised the weather site's have us listed as having normal rain for the month. 2.37 inches and I still have plants drying out and lying on the ground. Part of the issue for me is that I have mature oak trees, so the understory doesn't really get wet unless the rain is heavy enough. I was happy to see that last night it was! Also on the bright side, I set up an automatic timer yesterday to work with my soaker hoses on 4 of my beds. Just need to get 2 more spigots for it. It's only 4 beds, but that's 4 of the drier beds off my worry list. |
It has been dry here in central WI, too. Horrible dust storm last Friday, worse than any dust storm I ever saw when I lived in western Oklahoma! Fortunately, Friday night we had rain & then several more rains since then. |
- Posted by redanteater 5b IN (My Page) on Wed, May 30, 12 at 0:50
I looked up the weather stats for this month... 0.81 inches of rain, driest spring on record here. The seven day forecast has four days of possible rain next week, and temps under 70 for four days straight. Woohoo it's finally Spring!! |
