Interlux names Waterfront Challenge winners
Posted onInterlux said Thursday that the national winner of its 2012 Waterfront Challenge is Sea Scout Ship 41 of Bay Village, Ohio.
Sea Scout Ship 41, which will receive a $20,000 check from Interlux, researched the significant problem of harmful algae blooms in Lake Erie and developed O'Tumbler, a vertical wind turbine that circulates oxygen-rich water to help stimulate the growth of plankton and provide a food rich habitat for fish.
"This has been a super opportunity for our Sea Scouts to study, brainstorm and develop practical solutions to real life environmental problems. We look forward to using the Interlux award to further educate our community to help protect our great natural resource, Lake Erie," Sea Scout Ship 41 skipper Richard Gash said in a statement.
Interlux announced the winners of its Waterfront Challenge at the opening of the 2012 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Interlux awards funds annually to community groups for creating sustainable waterfront environmental improvements in their communities.
Three other organizations will receive checks of $4,500 apiece as the regional winners of the Waterfront Challenge: Paddle Without Pollution (Pittsburgh), for organizing kayakers and canoeists to paddle the shorelines and channels of the city's three rivers, picking up trash and monitoring the water conditions; South River Federation (Edgewater, Md.), for organizing volunteers to remove trash from the South River, a key tributary of the Chesapeake Bay; and the Sea Scavenger Conservancy (San Francisco), for organizing a children's environmental education program and cleanup day to remove trash from the Misson Bay shoreline.
"The goal of the Interlux Waterfront Challenge is to encourage community participation in sustainable projects to protect and preserve our marine environment. Our 2012 national winner is an outstanding example of what can be accomplished when we all work together," Interlux North America marketing manager Jim Seidel said in a statement

I am looking for the ancestors of Green Berry Lee Dunkley of Fairfield Co. SC (b. abt 1800), and a few other Dunkleys there whom he is no doubt related to (John, Richard, another John, Sarah) as follows: One of the potential ancestors of Green Berry Lee Dunkley (GBLD, for Richard Dunkley enters the record scene in 1797 when he sold the John Dunkley (Richard's son or brother?) enters the record scene in GBLD married Izette around 1821 and enters the records around 1822 Some of Izette Long's family left SC in 1820's and went to Limestone John Dunkley, last seen in Fairfield in 1809 may be the John Dunkley Another reason I believe that the John Dunkley of Fairfield is the I'm thinking the lineage may go something like this: GBL Dunkley (b. 1800) could be the son of either Richard or John.

What are the pros? Very easy read.
What are the cons? Page 40
Not sure the comments on GMO corn on page 40 are dead on because legally, no corn has been proven to be cross contaminated with transgenic varieties. In that case the company producing them would be legally liable and like I said, there are no proven cases to this day. So, a claim that a variety is contaminated with GMOs is a strong one without legal proof backing it up. I am sure Monsanto would like to know where they are more than anyone else, since that is intellectual property they arent making a profit on. The varieties the book points out could very well be mixing with hybrids and other variants, but not necessarily GMOs

---Who knew that a non-fiction/how-to book could be a page-turner; this one is! The need-to-knows are written in a narrative that places the reader in the comfort-cozy living room of the authors' home, chatting over a cup of chamomile tea, as they reveal simple secrets of a successful heirloom garden.

What are the pros? Easy read, awesome pictures
Was traveling through Petaluma ca in March 2013 and spotted the Seed Bank store, stopped in and an hour later I was hooked on heirloom seeds. I bought 14 packs of seeds and took them home and started them in doors. This week our first vegetable garden has yielded our family amazing peppers, Tomatillos, tomatoes, squash just to name a few and several herbs. My husband bought me the book for my birthday in April. I have read it twice and now use it as a reference guide. I own many flower and garden books, this is now my favorite. We were not aware of the issue of GMO until we visited CA to see our son who recently moved there. We are spreading the word and trying our best to support a GMO free garden and life style. I shared the seedlings I started with several friends and they are also enjoying the harvest of the plants This week.

FAB (fabulous, African & Black) magazine has only been in existence for less than a year but we've all felt its presence and are proud that the magazine truly captures the heritage and vibrant culture of Africa. Most of you know that I'm Junior Fashion editor at this fabulous magazine and I must add that although we are a small team, of energetic young creatives with our ups and downs, drama and sometimes straight up anger and bitching we are still a close family. One Nigerian Boy chats with the magazine's editor in chief on the wake of the 4th issue's release.
What is FAB magazines mandate?
The vision behind FAB has always been to create an international fashion and lifestyle magazine made by Africans for Africans in the true sense of the word; a magazine showcasing the best of what Africa and Nigeria have to offer with top-notch photography, innovative graphic design and thought-provoking editorials.
We aim to open a quarterly window to the worlds of high fashion and high street, as well as produce a high end product created by Africans for Africans. At a time when people are increasingly speculating the need for an African Vogue; we aim to show the world that we can produce a high quality magazine, with our own expertise and resources and do not need to wait for Conde Nast or any other international publishing house to do it for us.
Fabulous, African {and) Black with style, swagger and sophistication. We aim to set the trends – not follow them, celebrate our continent's successes, highlight its problems, offer solutions, continue to bring hard-hitting editorials, cutting-edge imagery and inspirational design delivered with quality and consistence. Our content will be 80% African and 20% international.
In what ways does FAB magazine ensure that its mandate is achieved by each issue?
FAB Magazine is not about two or three people, but a whole team of FABulous and talented individuals (like yourself) who have a passion for fashion and are creative to no end, whatever their job title is. A team is only as good as each member involved, and in order ensure FAB fulfills its mission, everyone involved, from marketing and advertising to the creative team to the editors, work hard to make each issue even more FABulous than the last.
While our team members are located all over the world, from Accra to New York, from Lagos to London, we continue to remain true to our promise showcasing African talent worldwide. Within less than a year, we have not only flourished into a respectable brand name in Nigeria and Ghana but have also secured distribution on an international platform, in countries ranging as far and wide as Australia, the Caribbean, UK, US, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. This is no small feat, certainly one that has not been achieved by any other fashion and lifestyle magazine out of Africa.
How many copies are printed now?
What's the scale of your distribution?
From the last week in January, we will be available in WH Smith's and 1000+ independent retailers across the UK as well as the aforementioned countries. While some may think we have arrived, our journey has just begun.
What are the gaps FAB magazine has noted and intends to fill as regards portraying African culture and heritage in the media?
In the first year of FAB, we have continuously showcased and served as a platform for not only African designers and photographers, but also African models. In the competitive fashion world, where black models are unfortunately often not the priority choice, we have consistently deployed black and African models in our shoots.
We have showcased creatives, sports people, humanitarians of African descent and showed a more positive, dynamic and FABulous side of Africa often lost in translation in the western media. We have presented, applauded, celebrated all things African – from music to fashion, from culture to lifestyle, and we shall continue as we started.
Any plans to go bi monthly or monthly, in the future? And what other kinds of media can we expect FAB to branch into?
In the second half of 2011, if circumstances are right, we definitely would like to go bi-monthly. In terms of the FAB brand, do look out for a major push in all creative sectors and see FAB grow not only as a magazine, but a high end brand name.
Project 5 years on, where do you see FAB magazine in terms of market share, revenue and awareness?
In 5 years time, I sincerely believe FAB will be a major player in international publication. We will not be pigeonholed into 'black' or 'African' or 'ethnic'; while we remain true to our Fabulous, African, Black roots, in five years time FAB will not just be a leading African fashion and lifestyle magazine, but a leading international fashion and lifestyle magazine.
With good planning and resources, I can foresee that FAB will not be the only magazine under the umbrella of the FAB Group, but one of other branch-out magazines we are already brainstorming on.

About 80 feet of sill in our home needs to be replaced. The home is over 90 years old and much of this is old termite damage. The house is brick, so the sill has to be cut out and replaced from the inside. The carpenters started work today, and the technique they are using is to cut about an inch out of the 2 X 10 floor joist for a length of about 5 inches. This is to allow the new pressure treated sill to be slid into position. The old (and new) sill is about 5 x 8. The joists were already originally notched out about an inch to receive the sill. I am now probably down to about 7 inches.
My questions are: 1) Is the cutting down of the joist end acceptable (I don't see any other way)
House is balloon frame if that is of any matter. Any suggestions or comments appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had "fun" replacing about 10 ft of sill plate once. It sounds like the only way to do it, so it sounds like they're on the right track. Since you're near the edges of the joist span, the notching won't be a problem. (Full disclosure: I'm not a builder, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.) |

Review: Olympus E-P1 Camera
A Retro Design and Thoughtful Shots for the Artsy Photographer
Rating: 7/10 Very good, but not quite great
- $750 (body only)
- · More info from Olympus
- Reviewed by Jackson Lynch
- November 9, 2009 |
- 12:00 am |
- Categories: Digital Cameras & Camcorders, Reviews
Olympus brings back sepia-tinged memories of film with its retro rangefinder looking digital Pen. Clad in a brushed and polished metal casing, there's little doubt the new Pen can take a beating. It's packed with modern features that seasoned photographers and new-to-the-scene-sters will embrace — once you've mastered the less than completely refined user interface. Although the digi-Pen works well as a weighty point-and-shoot, it's built for folk intent on crafting images rather than merely shooting from the hip. If you do choose this Pen, be sure to use the histogram to judge your exposures, because the LCD is woeful compared with its similarly priced competitors.
WIRED Solidly built, nostalgically styled 12.3-megapixel cam that rewards a considered approach to picture-taking. Tidy images up to ISO 1600. Manual controls. Mated with the low-profile 17-mm f2.8 lens ($300), this is a street shooter's dream. Excellent image stabilization. Magnified preview feature zooms in up to 10X to help you fine-tune focus.
TIRED Lo-res LCD a real disappointment. Complicated menus. External flash only ($200). Subpar low-light, ultrahigh-ISO shots.

Bare Body Laser Spa's team of laser technicians expertly guide Soprano XL and NaturaLase QS devices across skinscapes to rejuvenate and tighten appearances or evict unwanted hair and tattoos. Touted to be as gentle as a hot stone massage, laser hair removal sessions quickly destroy follicles and grafted Chia pets to prevent further regrowth, and tattoo removal sessions fragment ink pigments, allowing the body to fade them from epidermal memory over the course of 6–12 sessions. Time-worn coverings, meanwhile, bask in the therapeutic glow of warm infrared light, which picks up epidermal slack along the body, face, or neck without discomfort or downtime.
Thermax Carpet Care's Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification–certified technicians begin every carpet-cleaning job by removing loose debris and passing it though a water-filtration system that cleans, removes odor, and purifies the air. Then, with the help of truck-mounted steam extraction systems, they attack entrenched dust mites and allergens without the use of harmful chemicals.
In addition to its staff-administered services, Thermax also rents out easy-to-use, professional-grade equipment for cleaning home carpets or welcome mats within an alien spacecraft.
Since building the business from the ground up, Commercially Clean has used its staff in battling household grime and dirt and earning ceiling-tile-cleaning certifications. With eco-friendly products in hand, they keep homes and businesses spotless and allergen-free by mopping floors, steam cleaning couches and carpets, and purifying ceiling tiles from grime and infestations of wild mosaics.
Do you want to find a reliable, trustworthy carpet cleaning business in Anchorage that does not use meaningless scare tactics or make promises they cannot keep to clean your carpets and upholstery.
You can put your trust in Carpet Masters carpet cleaning. We provide personal service and exceptional quality.
Armed with more than 20 years of cleaning and restoration experience, Tyson, the owner of Sam's Carpet Care, commands a dedicated crew of trained carpet technicians. In the premium carpet treatment, which lasts one to three hours, cleaners bathe up to 450 square feet of furniture-free space in a pretreatment solution before tending to spotted stains left by sippy cups that haven't been housebroken. Next, a powerful, truck-mounted hot-water-extraction system scrubs down threads and vacuums out the soap, leaving behind a bright, newly groomed carpet. Sam's Carpet Care's technicians will relocate any obstructive furniture or squatting college buddies from the cleaning area and replace them after the treatment. Clients can upgrade either option to cover more square footage for an additional fee. Today's deal doesn't expire until May 31, 2012, making it a good holiday gift idea.

Typical IPA. Believes in freedom until it doesn't suit them.
Matters of national importance at stake and this **** stops to talk about CW in-jokes.
Berg I find is one of the "purer" libertarians who actually comes from libertarian theory, as opposed to Liberal Party talking points with a libertarian bent on some social issues which is what I tend to find from many of the other major IPA talking heads. I'm certainly more likely to listen to him than Tim Wilson or James Paterson, for example.
That doesn't mean I agree with him on a great deal but he at least makes intellectually consistent and honest arguments, as opposed to "election now!" type rubbish.

Paterson should be fit for the Ashes apparently, but may miss the Champions Trophy. Not a great LO bowler anyway IMO.
I should note that IIRC Berg has admitted that he's not a sports fan at all, so perhaps this is just an example of misapplied theory to a situation he doesn't really understand.
The IPA don't understand most real world things mate. They are the post-Reagan version of the ideologically pure socialists at uni in the 70s. Self-styled libertarians are almost universally **** wits who have been gifted what they have from wealthy parents and for the most part wouldn't work in an iron lung. Beneath contempt.

pews, I feel I have a right to complain about sports betting becoming intertwined so heavily with sports broadcasting because it ****s me. i'd be just as ****ted off with a consistent 3 minute presentation on a toyota motor car or the latest in hair products. sports betting is not relevant to the unfolding of the sporting contest.
i consistently lose in sports betting, and everyone should be free to do the same, via a phone app or the internet would be ****ing lovely in fact. but if i want information about it, I'll go looking.

Eric Garcia and the Tigers are riding a six-game win streak. |
March 13, 2012
College Baseball Insider Release
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Mizzou baseball team, fresh off of a 4-0 week in which it defeated Nebraska-Omaha and swept defending A-10 Champion Charlotte in a three-game series, has been named College Baseball Insider's (CBI) Central Region Team of the Week, as announced by CBI on Tuesday (March 13). After a 4-0 week, the Tigers are now riding a current six-game win streak.
The series sweep of Charlotte went a long way in helping secure the Tigers' bid as the top team in the Central Region last week as Charlotte is the defending A-10 Champion and was picked to win the league again this season. The series sweep also helped the Tigers enact a little revenge over Charlotte, which took three of four games from the Tigers last season in February, including a 22-7 loss on Sunday.
In all, the Tigers hit .308 as a team last week in the four wins while the pitching staff had a combined ERA of 2.75. In fact, the Tiger pitching staff was dominant in the series sweep of Charlotte as the 49ers came into the series averaging close to six runs per game and Mizzou limited them to just nine runs over the three games. Mizzou is one of just two Big 12 teams this season to not give up more than six runs in a game.

Disney animators are back on top of the cartoon world after dominating nominations for the 37th annual Annie Awards.
The family film studio's The Princess & the Frog landed eight nods and upcoming festive TV special Prep & Landing claimed nine in the TV awards categories.
The Princess & the Frog will compete with Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Secret of Kells and Up for the Annie Awards' top honour, Best Film, while The Simpsons will be the major competition for Prep & Landing in the Best Animated TV Production category.
The coveted Best Animated Television Production for Children prize will be fought for by Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, SpongeBob Squarepants, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, The Mighty B! and The Penguins of Madagascar.
Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox), Pete Docter (Up), Christopher Miller and Phil Lord (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs), Hayao Miyazaki (Ponyo) and Henry Selick (Coraline) will compete for the Best Director award.

Keep seeing ads for ABC's new Christmas special Prep & Landing, premiering Dec. 1, and find yourself hoping (more than an adult has a right to) that it's as cute as it looks? Good news: It is. It's got the heart and charm you'd expect from exec producer John Lasseter and a pitch-perfect voice cast: Dave Foley is an elf named Wayne who, after 227 years on the elite team that prepares homes for Santa's arrival, gets passed over for a promotion and finds it hard to show the same enthusiasm as his new rookie partner, Lanny Patrick, (Men in Trees' Derek Richardson). »

NES Bed: Push Start to Sleep
This Nintendo NES bed is pretty awesome. In this case NES might stand for Nintendo Entertainment Sleep or Not Ever Sleeping, because it's so cool. Sadly the reset button doesn't make the bed for you and the power button doesn't make the bed shake.
Sadly you can't buy this one in any store. It was made by rpaxton for his brother, which makes him the best bro in the world. And if my own brother is reading this, I hope he gets the hint.
Can't get to sleep? It's like not being able to get a game cartridge to play on this system, so do what you have to do. Instead of removing and blowing on the cartridge, just open your window behind the bed and lift the covers so it gets a good breeze going into this soft console. That should do it.

The Bread Shack is a great place to visit for coffee and one of their delicious fresh scones in the morning. Casual and comfortable so you can relax and enjoy the AM!
Stopped by to pick up some bread on our way up further north. The bakery has quite a wide variety of freshly baked items, and we selected three different types of bread -- all were excellent. The pretzel baguette (I don't recall exactly what they called it) was particularly good. This bakery is well worth the short detour!
We were driving Down East to stay with family and wanted to pick up some fresh bakery bread for our hosts. From the earlier TA reviews, the Bread Shack looked promising, so we decided to stop there.

I never miss a trip to this cozy spot when I am in the area. Excellent tasty pastries, wonderfully creative breads, hot fresh coffee. Sit down and enjoy the flavors, smells and warmth of this French pastry shop.
I go here often and there is always something that impresses me. The other day it was the French macaroons I purchased a doz as a gift. They are a nice size, just a couple of bites and went nicely with the lovely latte served in a bowl. I'm headed back today for a hot cross bun.

Investigators offer explanation for Pitlochry UFO sighting
Please scroll down for video
The Courier reports that Musat, who lives in the Walker Court area of Pitlochry, first observed the bright object from his living room window at approximately 7:30 am. He saw the UFO again at approximately 5:30 pm that evening, but this time, the object emitted pulsating light. He estimates the flashing UFO was approximately five meters wide, and claims the object's colors were constantly changing.
Musat took his video to The Courier, then subsequently sent a copy to the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA).
But on November 14, the BBC reported that BUFORA had identified the UFO. According to the report, BUFORA is "confident the light was actually within the trees and not above them." The organization concluded that the mysterious object was simply a "spotlight on a forestry vehicle." According to the BBC, "The Forestry Commission has confirmed it had tree-felling operations under way in the woodland at the time." The Scotsman reports that a Forestry Commission Scotland spokesman said, "We had a team in that woodland doing harvesting at the time. They were using a cabin-mounted light as they were in the area before full-light and after dark – they do a long shift."
Before the Courier published the initial story about this UFO, they posted the following message on their Twitter account: "We had a serious power cut tonight. Ahead of our exclusive Pitlochry #UFO story. Coincidence? Or conspiracy? See Tuesday's paper for more!" Although this comment was most likely made in jest, there are sure to be many who suspect something much more spectacular than a spotlight was recorded by Musat, and is therefore being covered up by the Forestry Commission and others.
So what do you think? Does the object in Musat's video look like a "spotlight on a forestry vehicle," or is the true identity of the UFO something else? Share your thoughts with us by leaving a comment below, or by posting on our Facebook page.

Poster to be Presented at the 47th Annual Interscience Conference on
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
LOUISVILLE, Colo., Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Replidyne, Inc. (Nasdaq: RDYN) announced today that in preclinical studies, its antibacterial candidate REP3123 is shown to inhibit growth and prevent spore-forming of the Gram-positive Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) bacterium without inhibiting other key organisms that are essential for normal intestinal functioning. C. difficile-associated disease (CDAD), a major cause of morbidity among the elderly and hospitalized patients, is acquired by ingesting spores present in the environment that then grow and multiply in the gut. In preclinical studies, REP3123 was superior to two agents widely used to treat C. difficile infections, vancomycin and metronidazole, in preventing the organism from forming spores. The study results suggest that REP3123 has the potential to reduce the presence of spores in the intestine, subsequently preventing dissemination into the environment, thereby potentially reducing outbreak and relapse rates.
These results will be presented on Thursday, September 20, 2007 at 10:00 AM in Room E253D by Ian A. Critchley, Ph.D., Executive Director, Microbiology at Replidyne during poster session 229 titled, "New Agents Active Against Clostridium difficile" at the 47th Annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy held at the McCormick Place conference center in Chicago.
REP3123 is a new narrow spectrum antibacterial agent that in vitro
prevents the growth of C. difficile by inhibiting an essential enzyme in
the bacterial cell called methionyl tRNA synthetase, which blocks the

Welcome to my blog. I am assuming that if you have found your way to my page this is either by sheer coincidence! …. if so…. welcome, and HELLO!!
Or, most likely you too have been in a relationship with a sociopath. If so, then HELLO too… you have my empathy.
My story is far too long to tell. But, I have dated not just one, not two, possibly three. Yes, that is right three. Whilst I am no longer with the last one, he is still around in my life, as a friend…. who constantly amazes me and has been since we split last summer. Its an interesting experience.
My background? Psychology, Sociology and a lifetimes work with homeless people. I also have counselling qualifications.
I write this blog, as either I am inspired from memory – or more likely the socio's/Psycho's in my life – will do something which triggers a memory from when he was being full on sociopath and the ultimate predator (I had no clue), today I do. I eventually did get even. (see part of my blog how to get even with a sociopath), and the nightmare stopped. He does still do things like violation of my privacy.
It took me a long time to come out of the fog, and confusion, and the shock of what had happened to me. Now, I watch and I observe the sociopathic behaviour, some of which, now today, does make me laugh. Sociopath's are not really strong people. They control out of fear. Also because they have poor impulse control over themselves, they never learn from past life lessons, and repeat the same mistakes over and over again. It is so haphazard. Like a walking disaster.
A sociopath can make your life into a train wreck, almost lost my home, got thousands into debt, had my privacy violated, was stalked, I had to do SOMETHING….
What I write here, is, I hope a true account of dating a sociopath. I have the last year read works by Robert Hare, and Hervey Cleckley, and yes this is my sociopath, and also the psycho before him. Fortunately this one is charismatic and funny, not distempered. But…. I wasn't laughing so hard, when he wiped my bank accounts and got me into thousands of pounds of debt.
I hope that what I write, helps you to make sense, of the nonsensical :)
Thank you, and please comment, or if you feel you need help. Mail me…. if you are stuck. My contact details are in the contacts section. I love reading comments, good or bad, and will always reply.
Thank you for visiting the very crazy world of dating a sociopath!!!
All words with the exception of the outline of sociopath traits (written by Robert Hare), are original copyright words @datingasociopath.com

Here is some post-game interviews with Central coach Telly Lockette and running back Dalvin Cook, who returned a fumble 88 yards for a touchdown to swing the momentum in the Rockets' 35-17 victory.
Central clinched the 16-6A District title with the win. Northwestern must now beat Homestead next week to force a three-team tiebreaker with Carol City for the district runner-up spot.

Hope you are having a good weekend whether you are curled up at home on your couch (or bed) with some coffee, or are out and about half a world from home. Today I am keeping it short and simple with some updates from the world of miles and points:
- In case you missed it, I have a post up on the Travel Channel blog about how to still obtain tickets to the Olympic games from the official ticket source. Only a few more weeks until I head over the pond to go to a few events myself. Hurray! I really hope that some of you are able to make the trip as well.
- American Airlines just announced a promotion that will earn up to 30,000 bonus AAdvantage miles on roundtrip flights flown between September 4th and November 15th. This is only good for travel booked July 18th though September 15th and not on reservations ticketed prior to that time. Five roundtrips are required in order to get the full 30,000 mile bonus. There are some fare exclusions and other details, so I recommend heading to Deals We Like for more info on this promo. Getting some bonus miles for a flight you were going to take anyway is pretty nice!
- Thanks to @rhinodh for alerting me that the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Card will now have no foreign transaction fees starting on August 1st. While that is great news for those who use this card out of the US, I would argue that if you are using this card much for regular spending that you should strongly consider the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card instead. Even if you want all of the points to be transferred to Southwest at a 1:1 ratio, the Sapphire Preferred card still makes more sense as it earns 2x on dining and travel (including, but not limited to, Southwest Airlines tickets) whereas the Southwest card only earns 1x on all purchases except Southwest tickets and their hotel and car rental partners, where it earns 2x. The sign-up bonus still makes the Southwest card a good option to obtain, but it really isn't the best card to put your spending on – with or without foreign transaction fees. That said, I am glad to see fewer and fewer cards carry foreign transaction fees.
- Don't forget to sign-up for miles and points seminars. MileValue.com contacted me about a free seminar he will be hosting in Honolulu on July 21st. He is a fantastic wealth of knowledge – especially regarding free stopovers on award tickets! If you will be in that area on July 21st, I strongly encourage you to go and hear what he has to say. I also wanted to give an update that the Chicago Seminars in October has less than 50 tickets remaining. Stop dragging your feet if you are considering attending that event. Finally, fellow BoardingArea bloggers Delta Points and Frequent Miler are both speaking at the Ann Arbor Do on July 21st. Lots of great opportunities to meet fellow miles and points junkies and hopefully learn a thing or two.
Disclosure: I do receive a commission if you are approved for a credit card using one of my links. As always, thanks for your support!
3 Responses to "Saturday Morning Coffee and Updates"
Reminder about Carlson Club too!!
Spend on the swa premier card counts towards companion pass and a bit towards the tier qualifying points so I direct spend as needed to maintain A+.
That sounds like a good strategy!

Yes, the latest Volkswagen GTI is indeed a good benchmark for budget performance cars, but each time I look at the Altima Coupe -- and its $30,000-something price tag -- I'm prompted to cross-shop Nissan's own portfolio. For virtually the same amount of money, I can pick up a 2011 370Z -- a car that looks just as good, provides just as much power, handles delectably, and still manages to excite the boy racer inside. This looks like a no-brainer, right?
Perhaps so -- unless you have a need for more than two seats. There are buyers who would like a sporty GT that still offers a usable back seat for kids, groceries, and other cargo. In this regards, the Altima Coupe and Honda's two-door Accord are the only true contenders (unless you lump the V-6-powered muscle cars from Ford, Dodge, and Chevy into the mix).
Of those two, the Nissan appeals to the driver with a little more power, sharper handling, and grabby brakes, but the Honda wins the family-friendly title with a bigger trunk, a larger rear seat, and thanks to a less rakish roofline, much more headroom for those relegated to the second row of seats.

The Los Angeles Kings are red hot. They are undefeated on the road in the playoffs. They have a world-class goalie to match Mike Smith and are the chic pick to win the Stanley Cup outside of New York.
But other than the Chicago Blackhawks — pity the NHL doesn't allow you to beat the same team twice in the playoffs — I don't think there is a team the Coyotes would rather see waiting for them at the end of the Western Conference road.
I know Vancouver lost in the first round, and St. Louis was swept in the second (both by the Kings), if you'd like to shoot holes in my argument. But the Coyotes don't match up well with the Canucks or Blues. Anyone want another dance with the Red Wings? Nashville was nice enough to blow up that stumbling block for Phoenix. San Jose wouldn't have been bad with Antti Niemi in net, but there's a lot of firepower and experience on that team.
No, give me the Kings and let's see what happens. Goalie Jonathan Quick is a monster who takes away the entire bottom of the net. While Anze Kopitar, Drew Doughty and Dustin Browns are talented players, the Coyotes have good matchups against them.
I'm going to take the Coyotes in six games — as I did against Chicago and Nashville — mostly because ESPN's Barry Melrose picked Phoenix to lose, as he has in each series.
Quick hitters
•The Miami Heat have apologized, but I give mad props to the PA announcer at AmericanAirlines Arena, Michael Baiamonte, who noted that Amare Stoudemire had picked up his sixth foul and therefore had been "extinguished" from the game.
Unless you're Lawrence Tanter in Los Angeles or John Mason in Detroit, the PA guys around the league aren't much to shout about. Baiamonte is over-the-top annoying on a nightly basis anyway, so he might as well be topical once in a while.
Yeah, it toed the line. Yeah, it made reference to something off the court. But in the long list of things PA announcers have blurted out in NBA arenas over the years, this was much tamer and pretty damn funny.
•I think the whole movement to outlaw the fake-to-third-and-throw to-first move in baseball is just a preemptive strike to reduce concussions.
•You fire Mike D'Antoni, and now the word is you will pursue Steve Nash as a 38-year-old free agent? Ladies and gentlemen: Your New York Knickerbockers.
Not sure why the Suns would offer Nash a two-year deal when he said he wanted to play three more years. Either you want the guy or you don't, in which case, you offer him a two-year deal and a reason to walk.
•This year's Robert Sarver "Gee-I-Probably-Shouldn't-Have-Said-That" award goes to Atlanta Hawks owner Michael Gearon Jr. — emphasis on Jr. — for calling out Kevin Garnett with Gearon's team one win away from first-round elimination.
The man is right. Garnett is a dirty player. He is old and slow. But that's a conversation you have in public after series is over. Someone probably had to help Garnett out of bed Friday morning, but Thursday night's dismissal of the Hawks from the playoffs was pretty impressive.
•If TNT is going to insist on giving us an hour of postgame analysis after every playoff game, can we have at least one voice of reason among the "experts?" I can handle Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal or Kenny Smith. No problem. I just can't take them all at once.
After they drone on for about eight or nine minutes on when it's OK to use a hard foul or who used to be the easiest center to dunk on, I'm officially ready for bed. They are better than Nyquil.
•It's only the second week in May, and Diamondbacks announcers have already resorted to making news in the stands to keep viewers — and themselves — awake. Tuesday night they spent an hour during one of the blow-out losses to the Cardinals focusing on a young couple in the upper deck on their first date. Hey, whatever gets you on YouTube, I guess. Anything it takes to distract folks from the carnage.
•I hope Kobe Bryant's tummy is feeling better. Having Andrew Bynum and Metta World Peace as teammates will do that to ya.

As National School Choice Week comes to a close, Christine Campbell reflects on the Portfolio Network meeting in Memphis on school choice and the fact that school choice can mean different things to different people.
Federal Barriers to Innovation
While some federal initiatives, such as The Investing in Innovation Fund (i3), have been aimed at promoting innovation in education, some of the fiscal requirements of two large federal education programs--namely Title I and IDEA Part B--stand in the way. This paper identifies three fiscal requirements of these programs that encourage the status quo, instilling in districts a profound deference for existing staffing and spending patterns.
The report recommends a number of reforms to make federal programs more favorable to innovation: closing the Title I comparability loophole, streamlining its supplement-not-supplant requirement, and instituting a "challenge waiver" system for IDEA Part B maintenance of effort. The report also recommends redirecting Title II funds to support programs and initiatives designed to develop effective new instructional technologies and take them to scale. According to the authors, these modifications would break down barriers to innovation as well as promote smarter, fairer uses of taxpayer money to support public education.

Subaru Forester (up to 2005)
once_for_all Posts: 1,640
Donluce Posts: 41I have fallen in love with a silver Forester XT, but I need to occasionally pull a sailboat and trailer that weighs about 2500lbs.
My trailer is well equipped with a load distributing hitch,anti-sway bar, and surge activated hydrolic disk brakes.Hitch weight 250lb.
On looking for information about the XT Forester, I found that in Australia,it can pull a 2000kg(4400lbs) trailer, in New Zealand a 1800kg(3960lb)trailer,and in United Kingdom and Europe a 1500kg(3300lb) trailer. Can anyone explain why the XT can only pull a 2400lb trailer in the USA? I plan to add a transmission cooller before doing any towing. Can any one suggest any other modifications?
Don Luce -
c_hunter Posts: 4,487Our best guess is potential legal issues lower the towing capacity in the US. I agree with Mike, you should be OK -- trailer brakes are really the key factor. The XT will have no problems going, it's the stopping that most people don't think about. But it sounds like you know what you're doing!

gotb Posts: 39I called 3 dealers today and their price for a 2005 Forester non-turbo oil filter were $7.59, $7.89 and $8.19. What's the cheapest price I can get on internet?
What's the difference between the non-turbo and the turbo oil filter? is one bigger or something? can i use the turbo oil filter for my forester x? -
c_hunter Posts: 4,487I believe I pay $5.50 or so online, plus 20 cents or so for the crush washer.
My understanding is that the new "turbo" oil filter is smaller, and a new design. However, the older larger filters work on turbo cars from what I can tell. Over on NASIOC, Subiegal looked into this and found out that the new smaller "turbo" filter is the new part to be used on all the engines eventually. they are phasing out the older larger filter, but it still works where the smaller one is called for. Confused? So was I.
For more details, go over to NASIOC and search on the filter number I am posting below (I'd give a direct link but that's against the rules here).
Note that the H6 models get an entirely different filter.
I have some of the "old" 15208 AA060 filters, which I used on my wife's Forester XS and my WRX. Apparently these will work on my new Outback XT as well, even though the manual calls for the new small filter.

brc2004 Posts: 14Has anyone bought an aftermarket stereo (hopefully, one that includes an MP3 player) and installed it in their Forester?
I was searching the Best Buy and Circuit City sites, and was surprised to find that the Subaru Forester was not an option on their vehicle compatibility charts. Does this mean that none of their systems will work with the Forester, or just that they didn't bother to include that information, for whatever reason?
I'm also wondering about whether or not having a stereo installed would void the warranty. I suppose everyone does this, though, so perhaps I shouldn't be too concerned. -
c_hunter Posts: 4,487You'd be better off looking at the Crutchfield web site for stereo info, including what fits. BB and CC are not always the best source of info about car stereos.
I put an MP3 capable Alpine headunit in my WRX when I had it, and the same rig-up would fit the Forester. You would install the headunit and a DIN pocket in place of the standard double-din factory radio. (actually there are aftermarket double din units as well, but not many good ones).
It won'd void the warranty unless you screw up the wiring real bad! But really, with a harness adapter it's a DIY job and hard to mess up.

paisan Posts: 21,181Very easy to put in.
What we usually do as part of our 3stage security is put Hella dual trumpet horns under the hood. We wire in the relay for the extra horns using the relay provided. The "trigger" wire for the new horn relay we wire into the relaybox into the horn relay. So essentially when the horn relay is triggered in the car it triggers the parrallel relayed horns to fire. Dual Trumpets + OEM = Very Loud!

Nothing magical, go to www.subaru.com and "special offers". These are Subaru deals and should be available anywhere in the US. The details of value at end of lease, etc. are not specified. However, Figure that for $3,000 per year, depreciation of the vehicle alone is barely covered. It sounds too good to be true, share with us the details if you check into it.

psfod3 Posts: 63I drive my 03 Forester x around 30,000 miles per year. I change the cabin filter around every 10,000 miles. Anyone know a less expensive place to get the filters? They seem to cost alot when I get them at the dealer.
This is a great car I put 60,000 miles on it in two years. It is wonderful. If anyone does alot of driving I have to say the seat cushion is way to hard to be comfortable in for long drives. I was on vacation in Orlando this summer and I rented a ford Tarus I could not believe how much softer and more comfortable the seat was. I do not understand what they had in mind in their seat design. -
troop2shos Posts: 235Adequate seat support is a priority for me since I drive my own vehicles for business use with trips up to 5 hours & due to my back surgery many years ago. I find my '04 XT PP driver's seat to be very supportive & help eliminate fatigue. I felt more stiffness & fatigue driving either of my V6 & V8 Taurus SHO's for business, having contoured power seats with lumbar supports & side bolsters, than in my lumbar equipped XT over the past 19k. Everyone may have different preferences & it's difficult to judge the seats unless you get enough seat time...fortunately, I had access to my son's XT before my purchase to verify the seat suited my needs.
a_bum Posts: 16My wife wants to replace her '95 civic with the '05 Forester. The civic has horrible a/c that can't handle Florida heat in the summer. We test drove the Forester and the a/c felt somewhat under-powered. Anyone live in a really hot climate that can comment on Forester a/c in the middle of summer?
veritasusa Posts: 72We live in East-central Florida below Daytona Beach and bought our gold 05 Forester XS in mid-July, trading in a white 99 Chrysler T&C Ltd. We are both older folks who find too much heat and humidity to be debilitating, so we prefer to be in the shade and in a breeze whenever we are out of doors, which is no more often than necessary.
So far, we have found the A/C to be immediate and more than adequate for the temperatures we have encountered since our purchase. And that is without any extra window tinting. -

Windows Update after System Restore
Likes # 0
Posted February 11, 2013 at 11:54AM
I have carried out a Restore hoping to correct a faulty program. I have W7. The Restore deleted several Critical Windows Updates as expected. This was confirmed as they are no longer shown in Update History. When I now do an Update I am told Windows is up to date. I am worried that these critical updates are now missing leaving me at risk. There is also an "Important" update which I aborted whilst I checked what .NET Framework actually was. This pre-dated the Restore and is shown as "Cancelled" in History I would have expected this update to show up again in any Update check. I wonder if there is a program error where previous updates are logged in the system and referred to by the update whist the removed updates haven't been logged.

I received no replies to this query previously. I am in the same situation again after a Windows Update today during which I installed IE 10. As an important site became unusable I needed to uninstall IE10. The obvious route was System Restore which completed OK. I assumed that the various critical updates had been removed but they still show as installed in the update history including IE 10. IE 10 has reverted to IE9 in reality. A further Windows Update does not indicate any missing updates but I am worried that they have been removed.

some useful info here
I suggest you manually uninstall the offending updates and reboot then attempt to reinstall them

I selected to uninstall one random update via the Control Panel - I have to admit I didn't know that updates could be uninstalled by that route! I then did an update and found that it had been installed. It would seem that System Restore is selective and does not uninstall critical updates. You live and learn. Incidentally IE 10 is still showing in history as installed but not in Control Panel

Andrea Bocelli
with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli will perform for the first time in Detroit in over 12 years at Joe Louis Arena on Sunday, December 14 at 7:30 p.m. Bocelli will be joined by the internationally acclaimed Detroit Symphony Orchestra, conductor Eugene Kohn, soprano Maria Aleida, featured violinist Caroline Campbell and guest artist and Tony Award-winner Heather Headley.
"Bocelli's vocal prowess in both sacred repertoire and popular ballads is undeniable. His powerful, heroic timbre, along with his range, profound control and commanding presence, makes for an overwhelming live experience," raved the Orange County Register.
Thrilling audiences for over 20 years, Andrea Bocelli exploded onto the world's stage with his hit, "Con te Partiro" (and later it's arrangement as a duet with Sarah Brightman with the title "Time To Say Goodbye"), and has since sold 80 million records and performed countless worldwide tours. Today, Bocelli is known for being one of the greatest singing talents in the world.
In 2013, Bocelli earned his Master's Degree in Vocal Performance from The Conservatory of Music, Giacomo Puccini in La Spezia, Italy. Bocelli also released Love in Portofino in 2013, a CD/DVD compilation featuring his breathtaking performance in Portofino, Italy in August 2012. More recently, Bocelli has been nominated for two 2014 Billboard Latin Music Awards, including Latin Pop Album of the Year and Latin Pop Album Artist of the Year (Solo).

I believe it started for me around 14/15, and gradually the hormones helped it worsen until about 19, and then December 2008 came alone, and I reached a stand-still.
Yes, my employers are actually family. They know about my condition. They treat me a little better(which I tell them not to), because I think they believe that if I'm uncomfortable, I can flip, but usually they leave me alone. I do my job, and they usually never ask me to do anything because I know what has to be done. They're always "Are you okay? Are you hungry?" "Do you need to sit down, take a break?" etc. They're great people.
