It seemed everywhere one turned there was someone who is, was or is trying to be on television. The celebrity roster at 7th on Sixth read more like TV Guide than Vanity Fair. Sure, Renée Zellweger, Claire Danes, Kyra Sedgwick and Katie Holmes made cameo appearances at various shows, but this time around the tents provided temporary housing mainly to the likes of Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, Carmen Electra, Paris Hilton (naturally), Tory Spelling, Vivica A. Fox, Lorraine Bracco and Cynthia Nixon.
Even Liza Minnelli, the guest of honor at Marc Bouwer's show, now appears on "Arrested Development," while Tommy Hilfiger, who appeared at Jennifer Lopez's bash of a show Friday night, is working on his own reality TV series, as is Lopez. In fact, her entire show was a reality TV moment being filmed for an MTV program about the making of her fall collection. The swirling camera crew on the runway had the photographers in the pit apoplectic since it kept getting in the way of their shots of the clothes. Remember the clothes?
The draw of the shows just doesn't seem to be what it used to be. Spelling said she was in town by chance, promoting her latest movie — a Hallmark made-for-TV vehicle. Otherwise, she would have missed Anne Bowen and Baby Phat. Electra had a similar reason, explaining she was in New York shooting "Carmen Electra Under the Tents: A Full Frontal Fashion Special" with Philip Bloch, which aired Thursday on the WE network.
"Who is that?" seemed to be the battle cry for attendees trying to wedge their way past celebrity logjams. "Who cares?" was usually the response from the fashion press.
While security guards swept loiterers from the runway before Carmen Marc Valvo, one man turned to Fern Mallis for some help in getting by the men with the earpieces.
"I need to get to the W [VIP suite] and make some calls before the show. I need you to tell these guys that it's all right," the man said, stretching his palm across his chest for emphasis. Mallis attempted to explain politely that the come-and-go policy just didn't fly at Bryant Park, but the man in the striped shirt insisted she help him out. Not that he'd ever introduced himself.

They built a Mediterranean Style Home in Santa Rosa Valley. In 1988 Debra became a Licensed Real Estate Agent. Her first sale was the home she and Bob had built. When the property sold it was recorded as the highest sale in the history of the area at that time. The Buyer, an executive of Disney, still lives in the property today 25 years later. "I put myself fully into every aspect of building of the home, what was very satisfying to me was the Buyers saw my vision and loved it as much as I did."

The Commerce Department imposed slightly lower but still robust tariffs on Chinese solar panels, alleging that subsidies undercut US prices and violate international trade laws.

It Is Tough to Run on Weak Growth |

The economy has been in very poor shape the entire three and a half years President Obama has been in office and there is zero indication that it will get any better before November.
Commerce Department Slaps Large Tariff on Chinese Solar Panels |
By: David Dayen Friday May 18, 2012 6:45 am |
Neoliberals and conservatives will get to trot out their favorite phrase, "trade war." And to be sure, there's a jobs vs. environment question to be asked about this latest move by the Obama Administration. But the Commerce Department has moved ahead with slapping high tariffs on Chinese solar panels.
White House Wants Authority to Reorganize Federal Government |

President Obama has asked Congress to provide him with the authority to consolidate multiple federal agencies, the next step on a plan announced earlier in the year to reconstitute the Commerce Department and several other agencies as a trade and economic competitiveness department.
NYT Economist: Economy Gasping for Air, So Cut Off Air Supply Slowly |

Blognote in Honor of Thomas Friedman: Spending on the Commerce Department Is Going to Bankrupt the Country |
By: Dean Baker Wednesday June 22, 2011 3:17 pm |
The United States has to cut back spending on the Commerce Department or it will bankrupt the country. Okay, I have no evidence for this and it really doesn't make any sense. The Commerce Department's budget is about $10 billion a year, less than 0.3 percent of total spending, but this note is written in the spirit of Thomas Friedman.
Just as Thomas Friedman can tell readers that Social Security and Medicare are bankrupting the country with no evidence, in my blognote I get to blame the Commerce Department. The reality of course is that Social Security is fully funded by its own dedicated tax revenue through the year 2036, meaning the program on net imposes no burden on the government.
Did Bad Economic Data Again Lead Obama to Make Bad Decisions? |
By: Jon Walker Friday February 25, 2011 2:50 pm |
If Obama assumed the economy was growing steadily, he might have thought it could easily handle some immediate cuts that are basically just PR stunts to show how "serious" Obama is about the deficit. Given that the economy isn't as strong, this, as well as previously sought immediate cuts, are going to be more damaging.

The biggest disparity among Pennsylvania women with and without health insurance was found regarding access to Pap smears and mammograms.
Breast cancer advocates see the Affordable Care Act as a huge win for Black women, for whom breast cancer is the second most common cancer. But improving access won't address our fear and the stigma associated with illness and poverty; stories of survival can.
In short, Healthy PA would extend some coverage to Pennsylvanians in the health-care gap, but it doesn't expand the Medicaid program, and would reduce benefits of current enrollees.
Shame is a powerful cultural and political tool that has been used to keep people from accessing the resources they need. Shame has kept my name anonymous in this article, but it will not stop me from accessing health care, telling this story, or encouraging others to do the same.
Philadelphia's dire performance can be attributed to the collision of two major factors: widespread, profound poverty and a sharp reduction in the number of hospitals providing maternity care.
Anti-choice attacks on women's access to insurance coverage for contraception and abortion are, in part, about building a legal case for controlling the private finances of women. The arguments being used could in the future apply even to your bank account.
Podcast (reality-cast-podcast): Download | Embed
On this episode of Reality Cast, I interview a representative of Provide about the struggle to get abortion access to rural women. In another segment, I discuss how Rush Limbaugh has decided Obamacare is a plot for oversexed women to steal men's money, and high school kids in Texas get a sexist abstinence-only Christian speaker prevented from coming to their school again.
New rules proposed by the Washington health department would require hospitals to disclose what reproductive health-care and end-of-life services they provide. Behind the push are concerns about the ethical religious directives of religiously affiliated hospitals.
The glitchy rollout of Obamacare offered plenty of fodder for Republicans who oppose the bill. But what most will remember from Wednesday's House hearing is a bunch of angry men yelling at a woman.
Beyond the mainstream breast cancer awareness movement, with its pink billboards and merchandise, a lower-profile campaign focused on raising awareness about breast density has been building steadily.

Food Sunday: Salads For Us Left Behinds
5:19 am in Uncategorized by Ruth Calvo
(Picture courtesy of camping-laverterive.com.)
Last week, several comments urged a bit more on that White Trash Salad I mentioned, that a friend makes from canned goods/emergency supplies. This week, since all that's left here is us leftover types, it seems like time to finish up the supplies.
Here's the recipe for genuine white trash salad;
1 lb. 93% lean ground beef
1 can black beans or dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 taco seasoning spice packet
1 medium head of iceburg lettuce, chopped, or your choice of salad greens
4 oz. baked Doritos, crushed
1 cup 2% shredded cheddar cheese
2 tomatoes, chopped (or 1 pint cherry/grape tomatoes)
1/2 cup light French or Catalina dressingDirections
Brown the ground beef over medium heat; drain the broth and fat. Add the beans and taco seasoning, plus 3/4 cup water. Simmer on medium until the water has evaporated, about 5 minutes.

Croft keen to play the Clough way
Derby County winger Lee Croft says he is looking forward to playing under the management of Nigel Clough. The 24-year-old, who moved to Pride Park on a free transfer from Norwich City, says he enjoys playing the sort of football Clough is famous for. Croft told BBC Radio Derby: "I think there's no better way of playing than having two wingers out wide. "They've got other good players like Kris Commons who can create things and hopefully I'll add to that." Croft signed a three-year.... read more

On my thread about my brew system, there was some discussion regarding my barley crusher. I said I would post some pics and I thought a new topic would be better. Anyway, with input from an Old Millwright that has restored mills both ancient and modern for the past 50+ years, I built this mill. It is 5" schd. 40 pipe rollers, steel, with 1/2' shafts on self aligning pillow block bearings. The Motor is a 110v 1/4 hp OLD electric motor with a variable speed pulley tied to the drive roller via a fan belt from Autozone and a 10" (I think) pulley from McMaster Carr. The shafts are very light, but I had the bearings in an old box of junk and decided I would try them out. If I did it again i would use 3/4" stock for the shafts just to ease the machining of the rollers in the lathe. I welded a simple angle iron stand, round tubing legs and flat bar feet and anchored it to my basement floor. Simple but effective. I can adjut the gap from 0-.125" as required for my mash. I typicall leave it set on .055". I have intact husks and crushed kernels. My hopper was made from 1/8" tempered hardboard. I laid it out in Solidworks and had it waterjet cutour with the tab construction so all I had to do was glue it together. Very slick surface and cheap. Anyway, when asking for advice from Mr. Ogden (the millwright) he said I needed smooth rollers. I told him that everyone on the net said to use knurled rollers. I was told I could listen to the net or to him. If I listened to the former then I would no longer be able to ask him anything again. So, I listened to him. We just finished a restoration at an old mill in Aldie, VA and he took me on a tour of the machines that were used then and are essentially the same machines used today, just on a larger scale. The roller mills for making flour are in 3 stages, knurled (Although a lot less than the crushers you find online for sale), semi smooth and smooth. They are complicated machine that are self regulating and sort the chaff from the good flour. In essence, he said I needed a roller mill in the final stages once I told him that I needed the husks for setting up my grain bed. There was an old oat roller in the mill as well and this machine would be ideal for what I was trying to do if it weren't set up for milling 10t at a time. He offered me a proper barley crusher he obtained a long time ago from a mill that also made whiskey, but it had 18" rollers and would require a 5hp motor minimum to run, so I declined. That would be overkill unless I decided to open a brewpub!! In the end, the need for knurls is caused by the very small diameter of the wheels and the inability of these machines to draw the grain into the crush. Anyway, that's my barley mill story, flies in the face of modern barley crushers that you can purchase, but it works very well for me. If you have some scrap pipe, access to a welder and a lathe, you could easily make this for a few $$ and see for yourself. In the end, I had most of the crap sitting around and spent $35 for the belt and the large pully. Here are some pics. 25lb grain bills in no time at all. I never timed it, but I am brewing tonight and will make a video and see how long it takes.
Great work, thanks for sharing.
Oh to have skills like you do. Great looking mill that makes my BC look like a toy.

Four frugal projects to kick off 2014
(Read article summary)The first weekend of the new year is the perfect time to tackle frugal indoor projects.Here are four of them, along with how much each project will save you over the course of the year.
Allison Love/Chattanooga Times Free Press/AP/File
The first weekend of the year is coming up. If you live anywhere in the northern half of the United States – or north of there – you're probably going to be focusing on indoor activities for the weekend.
Thankfully, there are a lot of frugal projects you can take on. Here are four of them, along with how much each project will save you over the course of the year. Incidentally, I'm planning on doing each of these this weekend.
Shorten Your Dryer Vent Hose
The hose that connects your dryer to the air vent is often one of the biggest sources of inefficiency for dryer use. Quite often, when professionals install the dryer, they use a flexible dryer vent hose that enables them to install the hose quite far away from the wall, then move the dryer close to the wall.
This means that, in some cases, that air vent is winding around behind your dryer, creating lots of elbows in the hose that can accumulate lint. The longer the hose, the harder the blower in your dryer is going to have to work to expel the damp air out of the dryer. Your dryer will have to work longer and harder.
Even if your hose doesn't need shortened, getting back there and cleaning it out can help your dryer work more efficiently. All you have to do in most cases is pull your dryer out a few feet, reach back there and disconnect the hose from the back of your dryer and the wall, then vacuum out that hose and reinstall it. If there's a ton of excess hose back there, you can trim one end of the hose. Here's a guide for the process.
This Old House estimates that cleaning out and shortening your dryer vent hose will save you about $25 a year, on average.
Build a Frugal Calendar
This is something well worth doing more frequently than once a year, but it's still a great project to sit down and tackle this weekend, particularly if you have a new wall calendar that you're launching for the year. Time to fill it up!

Chevy Aveo Hatchback
poncho167 Posts: 1,178From what I have been reading the electrical problems are from the early models. This is the third model year and as far as I know the kinks have been worked out.
As far as the timing belt is concerned yes it would be nice to have a steel belt like the Ecotec engines, but rubber timing belts is the normal in the industry. I have only heard of one owner who has had issues with premature replacement of the belt, and that would tell me it is isolated. Rubber belts are designed to be replaced at 50-60,000 miles in these small four cylinder cars, and $500 or more in some cases is also normal for having the service done. -
wave54 Posts: 209Including myself, I know of 3 Aveo owners who had timing belts fail before 50K miles. That's enough to cause me to get it replaced before the 60K mark. Don't feel like replacing 16 valves on my dime.
I usually run cars to 200-300K miles in 3-5 years using them for light medical deliveries. The cost for replacing timing belts will add thousands to the operating costs compared to a car that doesn't use rubber belts. I'll definitely take that into consideration on my next purchase.
Have had engines with them before, but they went over 100K between replacements and it was a $125 repair. -
chrisducati Posts: 394Very true, they offer more performance and higher mpg. My in-laws live in the UK. Both their cars are diesels. They produce a lot of torque. Driving on the highway at say 80mph just the littlest press of the gas pedal and you shoot forward. There really is no need to floor the pedal.
jaylibby Posts: 6Okay, im very new to this whole aveo trend... Today in my local mall parking lot there was a dealership sale.... i saw an Aveo and Fell in LOVE. Its a 2005, hatchback LT. Cobalt Blue everything i could possibly want. 17,000 miles. worth $11,500?
Any haggling tips.. or tips in general?
Thanks! -Jay -

jaylibby Posts: 6Hmm, well today being sunday did not help me get a test drive in but i did get a chance to further examine the vehicle. I noticed that the two rear wheels had some extra wear on the outer sides. Im thinking that the wheels are either pointing inwards a tad bit.. like this /----\ you see what i mean? Anyone ever hear of this problem? I guess it could have just been a bad driver as well before hand..
What are some defects i should check for durring my test ride tomorrow? Im going to ask about the wheels.
That is all the news for now.. here are pics of the one im looking at.
p.s. we talked him down to $10,000 already. -
wave54 Posts: 209Quickly checked Kelley Blue Book values and $10K is below the private party retail ($10300) for that model in excellent condition.
If you take it for a test drive, try to get some highway miles on it, preferably behind some trucks to get a feel for how it handles. Go for some tight off-ramps and bumpy areas, as well. I find the suspension to be the weakest part of the car -- abundant side-to-side sway and buffeting from trucks and wind.
The Aveo is very tall and narrow and tends to lean quite a bit in turns compared to lower-riding cars. Potentially tough on front tires, too -- just ate thru a set in 20K miles and I'm an easy driver. The rear tires you mentioned were probably rotated from the front. -
jaylibby Posts: 6Thank you so much for your help! Really, thank you! I also just did a carfax report on this car and it came out clean! I'm growing very excited! I love the way this car looks inside and out. Now... i just need to get behind the wheel and hope im not dissapointed.
Have you had trouble on highways? I am moving to Ohio, from Chicago in June. Should I be warned about something? -

wave54 Posts: 209Have you had trouble on highways? I am moving to Ohio, from Chicago in June. Should I be warned about something?
Nothing beyond what I've already mentioned. On an interstate at 60-70 mph with many trucks and/or crosswinds, the Aveo can feel very unstable with the stock suspension set-up. At least a couple of days a week, I have to keep a firm grip on the wheel while driving it, because it wanders and gets pushed around a lot by wind gusts.
This tendency has gotten worse as the miles pile up and the suspension loosens up. So far, no replacement struts or shocks are available other than the OEM units from the dealer.
Based on your test-drive, you may consider a lower, wider car such as the Rio or Accent, which will probably be far more stable at highway speeds, if that's of prime importance to you. The other alternative is to lower the body and add wider wheels/tires on the Aveo. -
jaylibby Posts: 6I JUST BOUGHT IT!!! I am so very excited. The 2005 Chevy Aveo LT handled sooooo well on the highway and on city streets. The brake was a little soft, but that is nothing i can not grow accustomed to.. you know?
Being the Haggler I am I got the car for 8,999! AND a full set of new Tires. Wooo YEAH.
poncho167 Posts: 1,178I may not be an owner yet but I have driven the Aveo enough to know it is a very good riding and handling car for what it is. I have not experienced the freeway turbulance that you described (didn't drive the freeway), but I have driven other sub-compacts that have issues with wind on the freeway, so this is somewhat expected in a small light car.
As far as shock absorbers are concerned I find it hard to believe that OEM are the only shocks available. That wouldn't make sense for a car going on three years here in the states. If I was to go to a Midas, Merlins, Car X, etc., for shock replacement, I would be real very surprised if their Gabriel or Monroe shock suppliers don't produce shocks for this car. The shock tunnels and suspension design are really no different than any other car. -
vw79type2 Posts: 37Well after doing some more research it seems the suggestions some of you had that the problems with electronics were only indicative of early Aveo's does appear to be the case. Since that was my biggest worry with the new 2006 models, and it appears many of the bugs have been addressed, I've decided to go with a 2006 Aveo SVM 5-speed hatch.
I'm impressed with the overall interior and exterior appearence (looks very European, like a Fiat, a product of it's Italian design) and it handled better than I anticpated on a test drive. I didn't notice any problems with crosswinds even on the highway. Having owned a 1979 VW Bus though, I'm use to dealing with wind.
The cargo room was also better than I anticipated and I'm pretty much convinced I can get at least 32 MPG (about 11 better than I can manage with my current car) driving the way I do. Given that gas is probably going to peak somewhere north of $5.00 a gallon over the summer, the better mileage will certainly be worth it.
I guess time will only tell if this turns out to be a good purchase. :shades:
By the way the only other cars I was considering was a Scion Xa or a Toyota Yaris liftback, but every Toyota dealer I talked to refused to haggle and seemed like a jerk. After inquiring about certified pre-owned, I had one tell me that the price of used Scion's are more than new ones. I just left. -

iluvmysephia1 Posts: 5,716is the same car as the Daewoo Tacuma, so it would very probably share suspensions with the Daewoo Kalos(or Chevy Aveo). Suzuki, Daewoo, Shanghai Motors and GM all got together and changed the world with GM Daewoo Auto&Technology Company and began sharing and swapping out parts and chassis, etc. to their hearts content.
The Reno looks dangerously close to the Daewoo Tacuma. That is the small crossover that Daewoo US was actually offering as a prize if you could name the Tacuma for the American market for them(a contest round about late 2000 or so). Turns out all sorts of financial troubles began to flurry upon Daewoo and the prize Tacuma-car was never awarded to anybody, as far as I know. I kind of like the Reno's looks, it looks good, though the May C&D picked the Reno last place amongst 6 other econo contenders. They hated it's body roll and yawn and it's rubbery shifter. Also the "6 shades of grey" dash arrangement. Humm...not exactly condemning words to me, though. Priced right about what the Kia Rio or Toyota Yaris will set you back. Resale value will fall too quickly, yes it will. Just a factor that would have to be wagered when mulling a purchase decision over. If you take great care of your rigs and can resist trading in in two years a Reno would no doubt do you right.
I think The General made a smart move in buying up Daewoo spoils. One of their good moves.2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed

chevyvan Posts: 1new to forum but I have followed forum for a while.My son bought a new '04 LT 2 years ago. He went to college in Georgia found a job in Los Angeles loaded up the Aveo with a friend and drove crosscountry with no problems. When gas prices started climbing in the fall it was time to trade my wife's Jeep Liberty. We bought an 06 icelandic blue LT hatchback has 8000 miles on it now, so far a great car, the wife loves it. just my 2 cents.
wave54 Posts: 209The big problem here is: no one has any serious miles on their Aveos, so there is no long term data on durability, etc.
The car gets great reviews from people who have less than 20K on them. Big deal -- the real test isn't how a car runs when nearly new, but how it is at 50, 100, 150K miles.
My '04 rode and handled well when it was "young" but is deteriorating rapidly since 40K or so. Where it once felt smooth and stable on the highway, it now feels like it's riding on popsicle sticks connected to pudding. Very loose side-to-side and generally unstable. 10-15 mph breezes are enough to move the body back and forth.
Every damn bushing creaks and crunches. Even while accelerating gently, the suspension groans when the auto trans shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. It creaks when I get in and out and on every imperfection in the pavement -- forget speed bumps, the car sounds like it's tearing in two.
My own mechanic can feel the excess movement while on the highway and can pull the front wheels in and out, but has no experience with this model and has no suggestions but to order upper strut mount bushings online and have them replaced. The only other option is the dealer and I've been very dissatisfied with their performance.
No, there are no replacement parts yet for the Aveo and I'm not going to monkey around with Daewoo suspension parts, as though you could actually find those!
On the plus side: The engine runs great and I'm even getting better mileage lately -- averaging 33-35 MPG. -
mstarman Posts: 1Chevy Aveo is a piece of crap...in the shop more than not. Less than 9000 miles and has been in the repair shop 5 times. Lemon???? I'm pretty sure it is. Horrible behind semi/ large vehicles in rain. We couldn't keep it on the road and had to pull over. Worst 11,000.00 I ever spent!!!
wave54 Posts: 209I doubt there's much difference -- the sedan and hatch weigh the same and are identical ahead of the rear wheels. I have the sedan and it's like every other small, light FWD car in snow.
No weight means no bite, so take it real easy on any curve and when stopping. Lots of wheelspin to get going from a stop, but once it's rolling -- not too bad.

1. Does the Guild of Jewelers also control Sienne and Isabeau? I assume so because I don't even see where Sienne is used in any other scenarios! However, "At your orders!" only talks about moving Kornak and Valrut. Maybe because their movement is based on a die roll whereas Sienne and Isabeau can move 4 spaces like any other character?
2. What happens if a Guild member wins a fight against a gang that has no treasure - can they collect 2 ducats from the player instead?
3. Why do Sienne and Isabeau have a mind value if they never pick locks??
4. Would a gang member ever attack a Guild member? It doesn't seem like there is any reason to because they can't gain anything other than moving a Guild member 3 spaces and fighting Sienne and Isabeau is risky because they get 3 dice vs. 2 for everyone else.

I saw a similar post on BoardGameGeek and it looks like the jewelers act like any other gang, so each of the 4 characters uses normal character movement. Also, they would collect 2 ducats if the player doesn't have any treasure.

The exercise stress test raises the heart rate by walking on a treadmill to determine if blood flow is reduced in the arteries that supply blood to the heart.
During the test small adhesive pads are placed on the upper body to monitor heart rate and EKG as you walk on the treadmill, which goes through a series of stages, gradually increasing in speed and incline. If needed, the treadmill can be slowed down or stopped at any time during the test. Blood pressure, heart rate and EKG are frequently monitored before, during, and after the test. The test is approximately one hour.
The following Steward Centers for Cardiac and Vascular Care offer this procedure:

Jeannine Kuropatkin can connect anything with geography. "It's a challenge I give my students," says the teacher at Rhodes Junior High School in Mesa. "I'll tie anything to a geography lesson."
She can, too.
Rap music? Cultural diffusion of African- and Jamaican-influenced music into an urban environment. Middle Eastern conflict? Contradictory religious creeds sharing the land of their holy sites. Global pecking order? National boundaries superimposed over natural resources.
The science of place can offer a broader understanding of the world. But geography struggles to keep its place in America's schools. "No Child Left Behind (policies) tie school funding to reading, writing and math scores," Kuropatkin says, "so schools double up on reading, writing and math, and subjects like geography get lost."
In an effort to keep it from slipping between test scores, Arizona State University's Geography Department gathered experts to take Kuropatkin's challenge: If geography can be tied to anything, can it be spun around reading and writing lessons?
A well-timed grant enabled ASU's Arizona Geographic Alliance to try. "In 2001, we received a Grosvenor Grant from the National Geographic Education Foundation," says coordinator Gale Ekiss. "Its purpose was to find a way to help teachers keep geography in the classroom."
The geographic literacy curriculum was born on a simple idea. "Students have to read and write to develop their literacy skills," Kuropatkin says. "Why not have them read and write about geography?"
The alliance assembled teams of teachers, geographic experts and mapmakers. The teams constructed 85 lesson plans for kindergarten through eighth grade, where students cut their literary teeth on geographic principles. In lessons like "Me on a Map" and "Walk Around School," students in kindergarten through third grade develop comprehension and descriptive powers by learning the basics of maps. "Leapin' Landmarks" conjures youthful enthusiasm about exotic places and challenges kids to locate them on a globe. Kuropatkin was a project facilitator for grades six through eight. "We kept asking ourselves, 'How do you connect what (students) already know to what you want them to know?' " she says.
Though simple in concept, the lessons were difficult to develop because they had to meet a variety of standards. "We had to meet the National Language and Arts standards for reading and writing, Arizona's Geographic proficiency standards and meet National Geographic's performance standards for the grant," she says.
Reading and writing, then, become the mechanisms by which students explore global issues. In "Jerusalem: A Holy City," students read and write about the city as a tourist attraction, a historical site and the hub of three major religions. "If you can connect what students are learning to what they already know, they'll want to learn more," Kuropatkin says. "That's the hook."
Lessons were tested in 20 different state school districts and vetted for their ability to reach a range of economic and ethnic groups. The alliance tours the state with workshops, helping teachers break the program in. "We wanted to make this easy and inexpensive for schools to use," Kuropatkin says. "The best curriculum in the world is no good if it just sits on a shelf."
The program measures effectiveness in terms of student mastery levels — that is, how many students test 80 percent or better on lessons? The program is undergoing an extensive two-state study, but early results from the pilot program are promising: 85 percent of students scored mastery levels in their geographic assessments; 84 percent achieved mastery levels in reading comprehension; and 78 percent reached mastery levels in composition skills.
The early success of the geographic literacy program has fostered a sister program. "We introduced geo math in October," Ekiss says. "It's the same principle. Integrate geographic lessons with math principles, basing our work on state geographic and math standards."
Fusing geography into reading and math is an innovative way to preserve its valuable lessons. But is it a true advancement, or a clever fix for a threadbare system?
Kuropatkin laughs. "You're not going to get me to comment on that one," she says. "The political answer is that the scores are up."
But she takes a hard stand on the need to preserve the science of place. "As an educator, I feel geography encompasses a greater understanding of the world in general," she says. "We are more globalized than we know. We have to have some way to understand it. How people live on the Earth, use the Earth, influence each other. It's pertinent to now. If that doesn't cross over into everything, I don't know what does."

Rabbit redux: The Denver Museum of Natural History has had its Colorado large-mammal hall under wraps for over two years while the deteriorating dioramas were given a spectacular facelift.

I don't think it a problem but will take anyway to the dealer. Also, I'm six feet tall, My hair is touching the head liner and it is very aggravating. I've tried to lower the seats as low possible. I feel sorry for those buyers that are more than 6 foot. This is just FYI.

hattrick16 Posts: 16Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had trouble registering their Canadian PF. I live in MA and I have not even taken delivery of the truck yet, but I am trying to figure out how to do this with as little trouble as possible.
MA says that the NVIS. is not valid and I need a Certificate of Origin, (there is no such thing in Canada) or a bill of sale and proof of prior registration. I am getting a temporary trip permit from Ontario, but I am not sure they will accept that as registration.
Has anyone else had to deal with this situation when registering a Canadian PF?
Here is what the Registry of Motor vehicles requests to complete a MA registration:
New Vehicles From Canada
Customers must have ALL of the following:
1."Unplated Registration" form (NOTE: a "New Vehicle Information Statement"
is NOT acceptable)
2.U.S. Customs Entry Document
3.Bill(s) of sale providing a complete chain of transfers and ownerships
Any help you can offer is appreciated!
The countdown is on....8 days until I pick up my 2001 PF SE! -
phil47 Posts: 394My understanding is that a "flare" is when the tranny hesitates before engaging the next gear. This causes the revs to temporarily jump as the engine is unloaded before the next gear is engaged...hence the "flare". I used to experience it occasionally on my 92 Jeep Cherokee Ltd. I've never felt it on either my 99.5 or 2001 PF LE.

bimmer4me Posts: 266I also test drove the Highlander and was impressed with the car like handling. But it looks like the last generation Honda Odyssey to me with a dose of the minivan gene. I went with the Pathfinder LE because it looks like what in my opinion a SUV should look like. I only wish I could get the gas milage the HL does, but I have no regrets. In comparison to my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the PF is superior in quality and reliability!
mansd Posts: 7Some of the dealers I have contacted do know of the unplated registration document required for the Pathfinder. Have you bought your vehicle already?
How did you finance your vehicle? When I speak to the banks they say that they require a statement of purchase before closure. When I tell them that it will be in Canadian dollars then they say that they cannot do it.
You can contact me at my email. -
hattrick16 Posts: 16It was such a pain in the butt to find out what the heck an "unplated registration" is...but after e-mailing the RMV here in MA like 5 times and talking to them on the phone for 1/2 hour today I have finally found out. When you pick up the truck the dealer they give you what is called in ontario a "trip permit" this lets you drive your truck home w/o getting ontario plates. It is a decal that goes on your windshield. This is what turned out to be the unplated registration. To get the trip permit you have to fax a letter stating that you are insured and a copy of your license to the dealer. My dealer is getting the permit for me for $20 cdn.
I am picking up my 2001 PF SE on friday from 401-Dixie Nissan in Toronto. I got financed through a credit union. When you make a deal with the dealer, he/she will fax you a "purchase agreement" yes the funds are in canadian, but it was ok with our credit union. Our situation is a little different because the loan officer at the credit union is a friend. He is going to wire the money to our bank account and then we will change it over to Canadian Dollars. If you have any other questions let me know.

shark715 Posts: 380The maintenance schedule for my '01 PF mentions greasing the propeller shaft. I have a 4X4 model, and I see a grease fitting on the front shaft a couple of inches from the U joint next to the transfer case, but I don't see any grease fittings on the rear shaft. Is there just one lubrication point on the front shaft and none of the rear shaft? How will I know when I have injected enough grease? Thanks in advance for your help.

zenforge Posts: 4Looking to buy an LE, and I like what I've seen re PF's except for (a) headroom, (b) rear seat, (c) max payload. Checking (a) and (b) during a test drive, but concerning (c): I've heard that the PF (with the opts I want) has a max payload of something like 960lbs.
Most of the time, I'll just commute, but if I'm taking my 3 buddies and backpacks, or some buddies and towing a sailboat, that max payload sure seems pretty low. My friends and I aren't overweight, but were pretty healthy and pretty tall. Should I be worried about this? Other SUV's seem to have at least a couple hundred lbs more rating...
Thanks for any advice or personal experiences... -
bkfulbright Posts: 15Hello everyone!
I have owned my new PF LE 4x4 for a week now and couldn't be happier. I got the crimson blaze red with leather interior. The first red vehicle I have ever owned. Just wanted to say that all the information about the pathfinder on this discussion board was real helpful to me in the buying process. I was also looking at the new 2002 Chevy Trailblazer but I believe I made the right decision based on everything I have read on both vehicles. Anyway, I will stay posted on how my new PF is doing in the weeks and months ahead. -
sanandton Posts: 342OK Guys,
I asked this question on the Expedition board, but have had no takers. I am planning to use a hard shell rooftop cargo carrier this week on my other Car (2000 Expy EB 5.4L 4wd). Needless to say the gas mileage numbers already make my PF look like a hybrid. Anyway, is there any agreement on where to place the carrier to reduce noise and salvage gas mileage? Should I place it more to the front or to the back? -
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 42,431I thought we were bringing the "national" list back, but I haven't heard anything about it lately. Edmunds is doing all the incentive info "in-house" now so that may be one reason that feature hasn't made it back up.
Car_man over in Smart Shopper is a great rebate and incentive resource. If you have a specific "national" question, you may want to visit the Rebates and Dealer Incentives discussion.

I suspect the friend of the friend did something horrible, but wanted to glean info from other owners. Anyone out there heard of engine-mount issues, or experienced?
Getting close to plunking down that money for a new PF! -
baddestbob1 Posts: 96Got shot down on request for refund on US Customs duty charged on Canada taxes. Most other buyers have escaped this but I got nailed for 2.5% on entire purchase, including natuonal and province sales taxes. FYI Customs also used exchange rate as of day I entered US, not sale date. Appealed to my US congressman who went to bat (he says) with DC Customs. Guess what, they're right, I'm wrong. You would have to be a lawyer to appreciate their reasoning that these taxes are refunded and are, therefore, rebates and fully taxable.
yride Posts: 21I'm heading to Vancouver Thursday to buy an '01 SE. What's the best way to move my funds there? I'm considering taking a bank draft in US dollars payable to myself for the estimated purchase price. I'll then use a Canadian bank or exchange house to issue a draft in CAN dollars after I've met with the dealer and inspected the vehicle. This gives me the flexibility to use a secondary dealer if anything goes wrong AND hopefully get a better exchange rate. Does anyone know where to go for the best exchange rates in Vancouver? PS - Thanks for all the great tips on buying in CN. I'm looking forward to the adventure.

Hear Roman Flugel's Sensual, Springy Remix of Valentina's 'Wolves'
Joe Goddard collaborator will release her debut EP in April on Greco-Roman
If the name Valentina (a.k.a. Valentina Pappalardo) means anything to you, it's most likely as the singer and co-writer of Joe Goddard's 2011 single "Gabriel," a masterpiece of latter-day garage that bumped and flexed like a runaway Slinky. In April, she'll release her solo debut, once again on Greco-Roman. "Wolves," co-produced with her friend Kwes, is a very different kind of beast, and an even more impressive showcase of Valentina's supple, expressive voice. Flush with pianos and strings, it moves with a liquid grace recalling Kate Bush circa Hounds of Love; it's as buoyant as the forest canopy and as velvety as the shadows beneath.
While you're awaiting the EP's release, revel in this remix from Roman Flügel, an all-around legend of Germany's electronic music scene. He hones in on the grain of the tune with a woodpecker's sense of focus — tok-tok-tok, tok-tok-tok — laying down a betwitching, mid-tempo groove and drawing out Valentina's voice like the last frames of a fading dream.

YandyOne of the scariest parts of Halloween is the ability for the costume industry to turn even the most chaste and unobjectionable character or inanimate object into a "sexy" one.
It seems just about anything can get sexy thrown in front of it on Halloween, from a lamp to George Washington to, that's right, a body bag.
Adults, in the United States, will spend an estimated $8 billion on Halloween this year, mostly on themselves rather than their kids. But just because they're spending on average of $80 on costumes — up from $72 last year — that doesn't mean they're spending it on more material.
Mommy's Scooby Doo costume might have significantly less fur than her kid's. Ruh roh.
Really? A sexy Oscar the Grouch?

This piece from MyrtleBeachOnline.com features advice from Gary Price and Tara Calishain about beefing up internet search skills and strategies. Despite their quest for world domination, Google is, apparently, not always the best choice for a search. I have to admit that I'd not run across Tara's site, Research Buzz, but was delighted to find a post about where to find information on Jamaican and Caribbean food.
Pete writes "Webpronews.com has this story:Where, yesterday, May 18, 2004, saw the announcement of Lycos Europe offering its paid members 1 gigabyte worth of email storage, while Yahoo announced similar updates last week."It appears that these competitors may to rethink their new strategy. Apparently, some users of Gmail have found that their 1 gigabyte worth of storage has increased to 1 TERABYTE. That's 1000 times the amount of the current storage rate (1 gig = 1000MB; 1 terabyte = 1000GB).This news has not been confirmed by Google, but, several Gmail users have noticed this increase. A letter to the editor of WebProNews from Alan Townsend commented on Gmail's apparent storage increase: "My Gmail account still showing 1,000,000 MB this morning!"
EWeek confirms today that this was a glitch:
But the appearance of the "1000000 MB" ticker at the bottom of their Gmail inboxes was no more than a system bug that Google Inc. is working to fix, the company confirmed Wednesday.
"That in fact was a bug," spokesman Nathan Tyler said. "We're working to fix it. Gmail offers users 1 gigabyte of storage.
http://search-engines-web.com/ writes "It is very easy to lose one's innocence and ideals once the harsh realities of "going public" sink-in, already the Greed seeps out of the woodwork - is this an Omen of things to come for Google...http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&tab =wn&q=google+stock+fraud"
mdoneil writes "Google has some fun features that may be unfamiliar to many. Package tracking, visual flight tracking, vehicle identificaiton numbers, aircraft tail numbers and more. Eager-beavers.com (which really is not a dirty site) has the scoop."
This Declan McCullagh story, from News.com.com, describes several cases in which judges used Google searches to support their ruling opinions. The incidents range from testing whether 'Johnny's sauce' is too common a phrase to be copyrighted to researching the effects of secondhand smoke on children. Another one that struck me was a court's decision that a Sri Lankan film maker who claimed to be famous must not be, since his name returned no hits in a Google search.
http://search-engines-web.com/ writes "Google Tests New E-mail GroupsOn the heels of filing to go public, Google Inc. on Wednesday began testing a new e-mail list service as the company continues to expand beyond basic Web search
Google to sell banner ads. Search engine giant Google plans for the first time to sell ads that include images, a surprise reversal for a company that has won regard for its pioneering use of text-only marketing pitches and for keeping its home page religiously free of banner advertising"
ClickZ News Says giant Google has launched a business blog to communicate with the public about "new technology, hot issues, and the wide world of search."
www.google.com/googleblog, doesn't have much yet.
search engine web writes "This One Says in documents filed for its upcoming stock offering, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have committed themselves to establishing a company foundation that they say could have an even greater global influence than their wildly popular search-engine Web site. The Google Foundation could potentially provide hundreds of millions of dollars to charitable causes."
Google's social networking site, Orkut has been unavailable off and on since yesterday, possibly for upgrades to prevent data mining of members' personal information. One non-Google website allows users to trace Orkut member connections on a US map using data scraped from the site. The map interface is based on older data and rumor has it that "Orkut police" stopped the mining. Reports from WebProNews.com and SearchEngineWatch.com.
If you're not yet sick of reading about the big Google IPO, here's a few of the better stories out there. One of the more interesting is This One from the NTimes, which includes the Letter From the Founders that was included with the filing. In short, the NYTimes says Google is doing everything they can to fight the shortcomings of going public.
ITWorld Says the IPO could provide a boost for other technology companies seeking to raise public funds. cbs.marketwatch.com says the innovative ways in which they will come to market won't make Google's stock a good investment.
Other coverage at Contra Costa Times, CNET, Reuters, and, of course, Wired who says Google execs have a profound contempt for Wall Street types.
And finally, From CNN, It may sound strange, but a company in the bluest of blue states may play a big role in helping to return President Bush to office this fall.

In The Passage of Power, he's come all the way around to damn near identifying with Johnson—above all in his empathetic portrait of the humiliations Johnson suffered during his three years as JFK's veep, not only deprived of influence but ridiculed and marginalized by the Camelot crowd in ways that plainly tap something deep in Caro. Because his Manichean streak requires a suitably malignant antagonist to sharpen the effect, Bobby Kennedy comes off as the sneering Draco Malfoy to Lyndon's powerless Harry Potter—and then, as if the awareness that he's committing liberal heresy by turning Bobby into a villain has shocked Caro's sensibilities, he goes into a gloriously tortured digression about RFK's nobler qualities that's only saved from total irrelevance by the concluding thought that RFK and LBJ may have been more alike than either man realized. All this a psychologically fascinating reminder that, formidable research or no formidable research, Caro's 35-years-and-counting project has always been rooted in emotionalism more than analysis: his shifting allegiances, his susceptibilities, his cloaked epiphanies.
That's been reflected all along in his narrative methods, which are flamboyant and consciously cinematic. If you just want to be marched through LBJ's works and days without undue fuss by an intelligent historian, Robert Dallek's two-volume job (piker) is the only bio you need. By contrast, Caro is all elaborate set-pieces, contrapuntal character studies, virtuoso compressions and expansions of chronology planned for maximum dramatic effect. This time around, the opening chapters describing Johnson's peculiarly half-hearted, uncharacteristically hesitant bid to wrest the 1960 Democratic nomination from JFK—the establishing shot, you might say—give way to a moment-by-moment reconstruction of Kennedy's offer of the No. 2 spot on the ticket and Bobby's attempt to derail it (nothing but close-up after close-up).
Then the long section on Johnson's forlorn vice presidency is done fugue-style, with recurring motifs of powerlessness, abject deference, disrespect and open mockery that are deliberately deprived of any storytelling momentum to emphasize LBJ's sense of himself as "finished." Intent on keeping him pitiable, Care scants even the few episodes of Johnson's veephood that did give him (and might give us) some emotional reprieve—chiefly, the foreign trips that let him enjoy being the center of attention. But the reason the author can get away with this suspended-animation ploy is that he knows we know what's coming: the shots from the Texas Book Depository that put Johnson in the White House.
Predictably, Caro pulls out all the stops for the Kennedy assassination. Wonder of wonders, he even finds new drama in it—thanks to cross-cutting between events in Dallas, Look magazine's deliberations over running an expose of Johnson's finances that ended up sidelined by bigger news, and (his prize discovery) a Congressional hearing that same morning whose revelations might have wrecked Johnson's career if it, too, hadn't been cut short by a secretary bursting in with word of JFK's death. While there's no way of telling whether Caro is hyperbolizing the consequences of what might have been—soft-pedaling his own finds isn't exactly his specialty—the juxtaposition is right out of The Godfather.
No less effective is his extensive re-creation of the three days of pageantry and trauma that followed, now historically remote enough that Caro's eye for vivifying and/or overlooked detail will impress even the graying boomers who think (wrongly) that images like Jackie Kennedy in her black veil are still seared into the nation's memory. If his prose is often at its most florid here—"a procession carrying the body of a republic's slain leader, in all the stateliness and pomp a republic could muster, toward a structure [the Capitol building] that represented, and embodied, all a republic's majesty," and so on—it's also a bit of a set-up. After dwelling on LBJ's relatively unimportant role in the public ceremonies and low profile in the post-assassination coverage, he whisks us behind the scenes to meet the human dynamo who wasn't daunted even momentarily by the task abruptly thrust upon him and instantly both understood and acted on how to establish himself as the country's new leader while preserving a vital appearance of continuity with Kennedy's legacy. Once upon a time, I think, Caro might have been appalled by LBJ's unsentimental perceptiveness and craft in pulling strings as the nation mourned. Instead, he's rightly awed by Johnson's grasp of what was necessary and how to go about it. Rather than ending this volume with his accession to office, Caro devotes many more pages to the electrifying story of how he put his stamp on the presidency in all of seven weeks, including getting Congress to bend to his will in ways it never had to JFK. At the end of The Passage of Power, LBJ isn't just president for real; he seems poised to become one of the greatest of them.
Talk about your cliffhangers, huh? Of course, once again, we know what's coming: Vietnam, American cities ablaze, and the ruin of Johnson's dream of outdoing FDR in reshaping society to its worst-off citizens' benefit. In a teaser disguised as a coda, Caro even warns us that the tone of his concluding volume—due around 2022 or so, if he sticks to his usual schedule and isn't in his grave by then—will be very different. No doubt it will, but what's most significant about his interpretation of the man in this one is that he'll never be able to reduce Johnson to a simple monster again. Or, indeed, a simple anything, whatever Caro's intentions were at the start. Even though his umbrella title is The Years of Lyndon Johnson, its unwritten subtitle could easily be The Education of Robert A. Caro.

From July Fourth through Labor Day there will be no hawing over raised hems as long as they're of suitable length and proper style: Neither tennis nor cargo need tee up, and all socks must be white and no higher than the ankle. A change into long pants, however, will be required to enter the clubhouse.
Now that Baltusrol has ended its holdout, the list of elite private clubs continuing to stand fast is shrinking—though for most golfers, a round at Augusta National, San Francisco Golf Club, Cypress Point or Los Angeles Country Club will always be worth panting for. Besides, Augusta is open mainly in winter, and it feels like January year-round at SFGC and Cypress. The real question is, What kind of leg can LACC's restriction still be standing on?Hasn't it always been a Tinseltown requirement to flash a little gam?
