Why the Djinn Disappeared
A new movie that was hailed as a groundbreaking film for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) film industry disappeared from the line-up at commercial theaters in December. That movie is called Djinn and tells the story of "An Emirati couple return home from a trip and discover that their new apartment has been built on a site that is home to some malevolent beings."
Of course, I'm eager to see this film. It's more research for me, accompanied by popcorn. I'd love to see a popular cinematic interpretation of the jinn. But it's not to be. My mind runs right to supernatural sabotage. But that's just my fiction imagination in overdrive….or is it? According to this article in The Guardian, the more likely reason is that UAE royal family found the film objectionable because of certain politically subversive messages. Here's the reasoning in The Guardian article:
Then Djinn vanished. It didn't appear at the Dubai film festival, where it had been offered a red-carpet premiere. Promised spring and summer 2012 release dates came and went. It was puzzling: shooting on the story – a Rosemary's Baby-esque spooker set in a fishing village redevelopment in Ras al-Khaimah – was nearly a year back; post-production almost six months gone.
After Djinn's Cannes launch in 2010 hailing the country's entry into the commercial fast-lane and the early rash of publicity in government-sponsored publications, the silence was deafening. With Hooper's imprimatur and an intriguing collision of modern genre thrills and traditional Arabic culture, Djinn had the potential finally to bring global attention to the fledgling UAE film scene ; "a much-awaited film for all our distributors around the world", Fortissimo, Image Nation's international sales agent, was saying. But come the end of the year, more tumbleweed.
Shortly after the London screening, an Italian website, Moviesushi, printed a possible reason for Djinn's disappearance. According to a source on the production: "Someone close to Abu Dhabi's royal family has seen the movie and does not appreciate its portrayal of the UAE, and considers the movie to be politically subversive." The old suspicion surrounding the Emirati industry had risen again: that it was too tightly supervised from above (usually through the National Media Council censorship body) to blossom freely.
This excuse is immediately countered. Other views contend that the Arab Spring heightened Arab pride to the point where there would be little interest in a Western-packaged take on cultural legends. Who really knows? An actual genie might.
The latest news says that Djinn will be released in 2013. We'll see. I'm rubbing my lamp and waiting for the popcorn to pop.
Meanwhile, another film called Djinn was released in 2008 that tells the story of a beautiful woman who is snatched by a genie and must be rescued by her true love who must cross the "three valleys of the Black Desert" to save her. I saw it. It's okay. For a better story, I think you should pick up The Genie Ignites. ; )
Best Wishes,
What Would You Wish For?
Alex Cross vs. The Genie Ignites
What a coincidence that a new movie based on James Patterson's Alex Cross character and my book trailer are released on the same day. Cross is going to have some tough competition when he goes up against Zubis from The Genie Ignites. I've read and enjoyed many of Patterson's thrillers featuring Alex Cross as the protagonist. Whether Tyler Perry can pull off the rough, tough, and hard-to-bluff fictional detective remains to be seen. Last we saw Perry, he was wearing a blue-rinse wig as Madea. I enjoy Perry's acting and the trailer sure does put you on edge (However, I don't particularly enjoy a villain holding a sharp pruner that close to a woman's bound fingers).
There are many similarities between the two heroes: Cross is devoted to his wife, determined to stop a killer, ruthless when he has to be. Zubis, too, is devoted to Bethany O'Brien, determined to stop more than one killer who threatens Bethany and, frankly, global security, and ruthless even when he doesn't have to be. Just because he can. More similarities? Let's see. Perry wears a dress as Madea. Zubis wore a skirt back in the day…when it was fashionable for men to wear skirts.
I contend that one may depict tension as well as romance, determination as well as sensitivity, exotic locales and fancy threads without all the shooting. Okay, so genies don't require guns to get the job done (though there are scenes of humans coming at Zubis with guns; so you'll still get some mayhem). But the panache with which Zubis dispatches his enemies just may tip the scales against Alex Cross. Why don't you be the judge. Gratuitous or fortuitous? Practical or mystical? Gore or allure? Cross or Zubis?
Alex Cross starring Tyler Perry:
The Genie Ignites book trailer for your viewing pleasure:
Oh, and you can pick up The Genie Ignites for a mere $3.99. Get yourself some microwave popcorn, snuggle down on your couch, and you just saved yourself $30 minimum at the theater and uncomfortable theater seats.
(That's what you call "shameless self-promotion." More about that next week. I don't think that shame should have anything to do with promoting a book.)
Until next time,
Best Wishes

So, where to start? So many photographers, so many different styles, some expensive, some less so...hard isn't it? Here's my take on the subject...all my own personal views of course but I hope it helps somewhat.
You Get What You Pay For
First up, and I'm preparing to be shot down in flames here, don't scrimp on your photography budget. Sure, you'll have a budget to work to but, please please, do try and stretch it as much as possible, even if that means cutting back elsewhere. Now, of course, as a photographer, you might expect me to say that, but I've lost count of the number of times at I've heard stories of couples who tried to work to a small budget for photography and then been seriously disappointed with the results.

text: Mountain travel on horseIf you run straight towards steep hills or mountains on the horse, it will not ascend the slope. However, if you move left and right as you go forward, eventually you will hook certain areas which will let you get to the top of the hill without having to abandon your horse or find a road. If you try to come down from the hill while running at full speed, it will take damage until it eventually dies. However, if you move very slowly by only tilting the Analog-stick Forward a short distance, your horse or yourself will not take any damage. This is very useful for getting down out of mountains and similar locations, and you are not close to any roads or suitable paths. |

So, I'm not only a home brewer but i enjoy me some fine sticks after I put in a honest days of home brewing... so i come accross the following add... and say to myself.. WTH is this? what is in the picture ?http://www.cigaraficionado.com/webfe.../show/id/16038
Wonderful idea if you want to brew extract beer and have money to burn.

Yeah... I didn't see a price... how much? EDIT... nevermind....
7 days huh? Yeah, my beer tastes like "World Class" BMC after about 7 days too.
I can sure make a lot of good beer for $4500

Yes there's at least a dozen threads about this. Everytime it hits the news or someone stumbles upon it they start a thread asking if we've seen it. Here's a few.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/anyb...hlight=zealandhttp://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/will...rewery-239859/http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/will...oyance-239502/http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/will...rewery-239550/ Basically the cost of beer in NZ is so high that this is actually a long term cost effective way of dealing with it for folks who want beer. From what I gleaned in the other threads, for the audience that this is aimed for, it's not about the dedicated hobbyist like we are, who are approaching it like an art or a science (or both) with the goal of making great beer. For most of the folks who pay for that, they want to make beer quick and easily. They don't want to deal with all the stuff that we think adds more fun to the hobby, like diy, or adding hops or standing around a kettle drinking beer with other brewers while mashing in. They basically want to dump in their ingredients, push a button, and have beer, that will be cheaper than what they can get commercially. And may or may not tastes as good. KAl of the electricbrewery, does a great breakdown about it in terms of NZ brewing culture here. When you read what he wrote you're less interested in bashing it, when you realize it's not really for us.

He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Updated Apr 19, 2014 - 2:13 pm
D-backs' Corbin interviews fans about his bobblehead
As he recovers from season-ending Tommy John surgery, Arizona Diamondbacks left-hander Patrick Corbin has decided to take on a new role.
That's right, the 2013 All-Star has embraced an opportunity to stand behind the microphone.
Corbin recently patrolled the confines of Chase Field asking fans what they thought of his bobblehead likeness.
The interviews came with one little wrinkle, though. He didn't tell the patrons who he was.
Needless to say, the result was quite comical.
Corbin's bobbleheads will be handed out before the team's April 26 home contest against the Philadelphia Phillies in a promotion courtesy of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.

Turkey activity week
Hi, anyone going to turkey on the activity week?Deexxx
When exactly is this week?
I'm going 23rd July - 30th July
Hi, not sure if I'm doing this right. but I'm going too on the Turkey activity week. Just joined and booked and never done anything like this before, so any feedback would be great!
Hi all!
Just booked the last place on the turkey activity week! Thought I'd say hi and ask if anyone else is going to the airport via London Kings Cross? Just sorting my train tickets to the airport. Looking forward to it but lots to sort as a very last minute decision. lol Jane x
I am getting the train up from Eastbourne, really looking forward to it...I can't believe it is only 10 days to go! I've not done a trip like this before but it should be great!
I've got loads to sort out too!
Hi Dee,
Glad I've made contact with someone else going! I did Peru with the Adventure Company last year (my first trip alone) but still slightly nervous again for this one!!! Looking forward to it though. Maybe I'll see you at Gatwick train station!!! I get there quite early though ... think it's 9.30ish. Jane x
Hey, nice to hear that there are at least 3 of us going to Turkey! I can't believe it is now only 8 days away!
I'm travelling down from North Wales the day before and staying in a hotel at Gatwick - just to make sure I'm there on time.
Hi Helen and Dee and anyone else going to Turkey!
If either of you (or any fellow travellers) want to exchange numbers so we can arrange to meet up in the airport I'm quite happy to do that. My email's firstname.lastname@example.com - feel free to get in touch. Otherwise, see you next Saturday!! x
Anyone going on FXTT 16July out there?
Hi all, its nice to know I'm not the only traveller on this trip. I have been to Kas before (very nice and lots to do) but have not taken part in an organised activity holiday before.
Cant wait,
Hi Jane,

Hello, I've read around online about this, but most topics are about growing seedlings or early starts during the winter in northern areas. I was wondering if anyone has tried, and, if so, their experiences in fully growing cool season vegetables indoors during our long summers. I'm thinking of anything such as as the classic lettuce, to more experimental things like everbearing strawberries. I was thinking about getting something similar to the following link. Thanks! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Grow Lights
Follow-Up Postings:
I haven't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with adequate lighting. Lettuce and greens would require less light than fruiting plants. I haven't used this place, but another gardener I talk with just bought some lights from them and was pleased. You can also get lights off Amazon and Ebay...lots of places to shop around. Before I heard of Lighting Wise, I got a T5 fixture off Amazon - EnviroGro brand. The quality of the fixture seems very good. It puts out a lot of white light, it's absolutely silent and the bulbs burn cool enough that you can let the plants almost touch them. I can touch the bulbs with no discomfort, but they do get uncomfortably warm if if I try to hold onto them. The fixture is not daisy-chainable. It has hooks and holes in the casing to hang from, but you have to supply your own chains. It's a good light, but I regret that I bought a 2 bulb fixture; I wish I had gotten the 4 bulb fixture. The area lit by two bulbs is just too narrow for a standard plant tray. |

Asked about his ex Anusha Dandekar, he said, "She is still like family to me. In Mumbai, where your family isn't present physically most of the time, friends play a huge role in filling that void. Anusha is a very hardworking girl and she always dreamed of becoming an international pop star. And I am delighted that Better Than Your Ex, her debut international single, has been received so well. I wish her all the best in life and will always be there for her."
On being asked about today's youth, he lamented, "A majority of them have forgotten what it is to play outdoors, climb trees and meet up with friends. Only chilling out at coffee shops and being on Facebook and Twitter all the time isn't a very healthy sign."

Convincing Mini Family Resemblance
While photos suggest the new Countryman is a biggie, it's not. In basic dimensions, it's 15-inches longer, four inches wider, and six inches taller than the petite Mini hardtop. The wheelbase stretch is 5.1-inches and there's a modest increase in ground clearance but don't take that to mean that the Countryman is off-road ready. The overall package is still decidedly compact; by the yardstick, Countryman is a slightly bulked up VW New Beetle.
Like its predecessors, the Countryman is a two-box design with a happy face consisting of through-the-hood headlamp eyes and upper and lower grilles. The hood is inflated to keep the major elements in proportion. In the side view, the wheels and tires are showcased beneath prominent black arches. Marker lamps are surrounded by bright chunks of chrome neatly aligned with the A-pillars. A high beltline supports three side windows and two full sized doors per side. A large hatch provides access to the cargo area which offers 16.5 cubic feet of space with the rear seats up and 41.3 cubic feet of haulage volume with the rear backrests folded.
With no less than eleven body colors, three choices for roof color, and dealer-installed flag decals, the wealth of exterior configurations boggles the mind.
Maxi Interior
Instead of attempting to cram in three compromised back seats, Mini USA chose the comfort approach. That means two real buckets in back with adjustments for fore-and-aft position (5.1-inches) and backrest rake. If maximum legroom is not required, the longitudinal adjuster allows you to stretch the cargo space. The backrests fold but not quite flat. An optional hinged partition can be dropped to bridge the gaps and to provide a fairly level extended load floor.
Thanks to the aforementioned four inch increase in overall width, there is shoulder room in abundance -- roughly two more inches both front and rear than the Mini hardtop provides in its front seat. Outward visibility is superb.

The sol earlier gained 0.1 percent before closing little changed at 2.6207 per U.S. dollar, according to Bloomberg prices. Data from Peru's financial regulator shows it closed at 2.6190 on July 17 and 18, its strongest level since 1997.
The central bank bought $164 million in the spot market today to slow the sol's advance, extending its purchases this month to $745 million.
"We normally see gains in the sol in July as companies pay" salary bonuses, said Gonzalo Navarro, the head trader at Banco Santander in Lima. "We've seen it happen all this week. Positive markets and inflows drive gains and then the central bank comes in and the sol closes flat."
The yield on the nation's 7.84 percent sol-denominated bond due in August 2020 fell one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 4.63 percent today, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg. The price rose 0.09 centimo to 121.26 centimos per sol.
The Finance Ministry today sold bonds due September 2023 and February 2042 in its second local debt issuance this year.

I'm a bit stunned by Ben Bernanke's morning in America speech, so let me try to recover by looking at Wisconsin. Yesterday was the first day that elevated contributions to pensions and health care came out of the paychecks of public employees, as part of the anti-union bill. So protesters returned to the Capitol in Madison by the hundreds, chanting and demonstrating against the policy. After closing time, the Capitol Police struck back.

I have what I believe to be a fairly nice looking and hearty Kumquat tree. I've had the tree for 7 years. It's always been potted and I sits outside in the summer and inside over the winter. It produces new leaves year round although less in the winter months. This tree has never flowered or produced fruit. I have no idea why. I see other posters on here with trees that appear to be in much worse shape (health wise) that at least flower. I'm not expecting miracles but I'd sure like to see at least a flower or two. What an I doing wrong. I use miracle grow fertilizer and potting mix. I water at least weekly and soil stays moist. Thank you! |

Is it seed grown, grafted or a cutting? I'm curious too..I have never heard of that unless it is from seed.. Mike |
- Posted by Robert3823 6 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 3, 14 at 17:47
Well, funny you should ask. it is seed grown. I went to a local nursery and they insisted it was impossible to grow from seed and told me I must be mistaken. My grandfather brought back a tree from Pearl Harbor following WWII. This tree was grown from seeds that came from descendants of that tree and as far as I know all the trees that were in my grandmothers house were all seed grown from that one tree and I remember they did produce fruit. So is it common for seed grown trees to never flower or bear fruit? Thank you Rob |
- Posted by houstontexas123 z9a (My Page) on Sun, Aug 3, 14 at 21:13
seed grown usually takes about 10 years to flower |
seed from pearl harbor?? wow that try is an heirloom, fruit pr no fruit. I have a feeling eventually it will reward you;) that tree looks really happy!! have you considered airlayering your grandmas tree? Im actually gona snag some Bamboo a vet brought back from Vietnam. When my friend told me where she got it and offered some shoots I was thrilled;) if you were in Florida I would LOVE some of those seeds, interesting stories make me enjoy the plant even more |
- Posted by poncirusguy 6b Cincinnati,oh (My Page) on Sun, Aug 3, 14 at 23:22
How do you know it is a kumquat tree. If your grandfather planted a WWII seed, He may have had the wrong seed. Your tree is more than big enough to produce fruit if it is a kumquat. If this tree is an orange or a tangerine it will have to get much larger than that pot would ever permit. to produce fruit. Steve |
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Mon, Aug 4, 14 at 15:45
If the seed came from a kumquat tree (regardless of the parent tree being a seedling or being grafted), the chances of your tree being a kumquat are excellent. Nearly all kumquat cultivars come true from seed. Flowering/fruiting does not so much have to do with the size of a tree, but the cultivar achieving what is called, "mature node count". It varies per cultivar. Some cultivars, such as limes, do not require a high mature node count to produce, so lime seedings may begin to fruit as soon as 3 years. Other cultivars, such as grapefruits, much longer, 12 to 20 years. Your kumquat may simply not have achieved mature node count, yet. Patience is a virtue with seedling citrus trees. Patty S. |

All, thank you for your responses. I stand corrected. This tree is ~11 years old. My wife reminded me that I planted these seeds before my daughter was born and she's 10.5 years old. Yes, I was told that my grandfather (passed away in 1989) brought back a Kumquat tree following his service in Pearl Harbor during WWII. I took my seeds from one of the fruits that was grown by the tree that lived in my grandmothers bedroom window for many many years (all through my childhood anyway). She told me that the tree came from a plant that my grandfather (brought back or had mailed to her - I'm not sure and she can't really remember). I'd love for it to survive and produce fruit. I've done some reading and found reference that suggests that a tree grown from seed can be a genetic mess and may not produce fruit or if it does it most likely will not be edible. JCitrus, my grandmother's tree died several years ago (most likely due to neglect because my grandmother reached her 90s and was unable to care for plants like she used to). How the heck do I find out if it is orange or Kumquat? Here is what I can remember.. the fruit was so sour you could barely eat it. I never ate the peel. So based on that I assumed it's Kumquat - also, the fruit never got bigger than a golf ball. The fruit was round like an orange and not elongated. |
- Posted by poncirusguy 6b Cincinnati,oh (My Page) on Mon, Aug 4, 14 at 22:15
Robert3823 Your tree looks as though it is getting a lot of shade on the porch. Moving it to where it gets full sun will make a big difference. If the fruit was round and barely palatable it is not a kumquat. I blew up you picture and I cant tell whether it is even a citrus tree. Could you post a close up of a leaf. Steve The picture of the big tree seen below is what a seed grown kumquat tree looks like |

This is what a normal seed grown citrus tree of 2/3 the age looks like. She is 19 months old in this picture Steve |
- Posted by hoosierquilt z10a/23 Vista Calif (My Page) on Mon, Aug 4, 14 at 22:27
The only way to know if it is a kumquat is to know what fruit you got the seed from. Kumquats are small, oval (for the most part) orange fruits, very seedy and very sour. If that describes your original fruit, you have a little kumquat tree. I agree with Steve, it should be in full sun to encourage growth. If it is full shade, you're going to have to acclimate it to the sunshine slowly over about 2 weeks, but it should be getting as much sunshine as possible to encourage growth. Hopefully it will grow taller and achieve more nodes, and then eventually bloom for you. Patty S. |
If the fruit was OVAL and sour, yep that was probably a kumquat. If it was round and sour it could have been a Meiwa type kumquat or it could have been a Calamondin, a small round sour citrus fruit. It's often sold as an "indoor dwarf orange" I don't know if the roundness of a Meiwa kumquat would be inherited in a seed grown kumquat, but I think Calamondins can grow true from seed. Too bad you never tasted the peel. That would have been the best clue. Kumquat peels are sweet, even though the flesh is sour. Most people eat them together, the peel is also tender as well as sweet. |

Thank you all. You're very helpful and greatly appreciated. I will post close up pictures so there is more detail. I'd love to put this tree where it gets more sun, but my deck is the only spot around my house that is elevated and where the rabbits won't enter. Will rabbits harm small Citrus trees? The yard is fenced so no deer can get to it. |

Bunnies will eat anything that is tender, so just put your tree up on something as Steve has shown, to keep the bunnies away. I have an elevated veggie garden for this exact reason. Zero bunny activity. And, much less pest activity in general. Haven't had to pick off one tomato hornworm this year, which is rather shocking. They're bound to show up, as the Hawk moth is the moth responsible for that larvae, and of course, being elevated has no impact on the moth visiting my tomato plants, I realize, but certainly no snail/slug activity, which is refreshing for me. Get your tree in the sun. You should see a dramatic improvement. Patty S. |
- Posted by Robert3823 (My Page) on Tue, Aug 5, 14 at 18:30
All, You folks are great, I love the feedback. Just got home from work and too a few close-ups. Hopefully this will resolve the identity of this tree. :) |

I'm looking for a commercial or homebrew example of a roggenbier. I want to try the style before making a whole 5 gal batch... Just in case I hate it. I love weizens, and the few times I've had rye I liked it, but I know this style is over the top rye... So I would like to trade if anyone can help me out.
Bump. Anyone?
Bueller... Bueller... Bueller...
You can order an awesome rye beer here. I'm don't know how different from a traditional roggenbier it is though: http://www.beeronthewall.com/beer-st...brown-ale.html
Homebrew is all about test and trial, and experiencing! Try it out man, nothing lost!

Help, please. I am taking care of a friend's elderly Sheltie for a week. Normally, the dog takes a powdered glucosamine tablet emptied out and stirred up with peanut butter. No problem until today. What do you suggest? Is there any other medium in which she might be tempted to take this "powdered" medicine? Her other pills I managed (with great difficulty) to get down her rolled up in bread, cheese, lunch meat. But how do I get her to take the powdered med?
Desperate in Virginia.... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Open the dog's mouth, insert pill at base of tongue, close dog mouth and hold, stratch under throat...don't let go until dog swallows. Or wipe pill in lunch meat like roast beef. |
Buy a jar of something YUMMY, like baby food - (pureed beef or chicken), or a jar of prepared gravy - beef, chicken, or pork. Whatever you buy, you will not need much, a few tablespoons. Put the rest of it in a glass or plastic container and keep in the fridge. Each day, warm the needed amount in the microwave. |
- Posted by quirkyquercus (My Page) on Sun, Oct 7, 07 at 19:34
Instead of forcefully holding the dogs mouth shut like premier suggests you can try blowing on their face after you put the pill or liquid on the tongue. |
'Powdered Pill' is that a capsule then? Don't open it! Just leave it in capsule form and pop it directly down her throat in capsule form, or into a piece of hot dog or rolled in cream cheese. I suspect by emptying the capsule the taste is more apparent. |
Liverwurst is pretty irresistible. |
Liverwurst does work very well. |
D*mn! I'd eat a pill for liverwurst! |
Why are you emptying the powder out of the capsule? Taste it yourself and see if it's really bitter. If it is, leave it in pill form and try putting it in a piece of hot dog. If the meds can be given before a meal, give her the pill(s) before she eats since her appetite will be better at that time. My DS's dog usually takes his pill in peanut butter also, but he won't take it at my house! I have luck with cheese more than anything. Feed one or two pieces without meds, then slip in the piece with the pill. Usually, after the first two pieces, they're more eager to eat than to try and find the hidden pill. |
- Posted by woodnymph2 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 8, 07 at 9:20
Thanks for all the excellent suggestions. Will go to the grocery store today and buy some liverwurst and baby food. The only reason I am giving these pills opened up in powdered form is that is what the owner told me to do. These pills are huge (glucosamine) and she must have 2 a day. She is a small dog and I had thought she might have difficulty swallowing the entire pill, also. Yes, I have been giving these before her regular meals. Wish me luck! |
I don't know how large the capsules or how tiny the dog is, but they sell these things in Pet Stores called "pill pockets Treats". I use them for cats. The trick for cats is, the med should be put into a capsule if it isn't in one already in case they bite though the treat. Dogs are less likely to do that, aren't they? I'm sure the dog model is much bigger...you wrap them around the pill (they are the texture of play dough)like an appetizer. My cat thinks she's geting a treat when she gets her meds...She gives it a couple licks then snarfs it right down...and cats are much pickier than dogs. I know you are taking care of a friend's pet, so you might want to call her vet to ask what size pill a Sheltie can handle. |
When my old gal was taking 13 pills a day I started buying cans of wet food (brand she was eating was a prescription food). I mixed the wet in with her dry food and just dropped the pills in and put the bowl down. I stood watch to make sure all of the pills went down. Being the true labrador she was, she always licked the bowl clean:)). However, if you have a picky eater, it may not work so well. One of our cats takes the Cosequin - we open the capsule and put it on his wet food. The Cosequin we are giving is flavored, I am not sure if that makes a big difference, but we don't even have to mix it in, he just eats it sprinkled right on top of the wet food. Wet food in our house is a treat, so that may be part of why the cat just scarfs it down. Fortunatey, we don't have any picky four legged eaters. All of the suggestions are good ones, best of luck to you. |
- Posted by woodnymph2 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 8, 07 at 14:56
lfnyc, thanks again. I had never heard of the pill pocket treats. They have really thought of everything. I will tell the owner about these. And yes, the Sheltie is a very picky eater. She is about 13 and sometimes goes off her feed totally, especially with the hot weather we have been having here recently. I wish the owner would use wet food rather than dry. |

Woodnymph, did the liversausage work? That has always worked the best for me. |
- Posted by woodnymph2 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 10, 07 at 9:05
Actually, I ended up by not taking the powder out of the pills, but dipping them whole in peanut butter, sliding them down her throat and holding her mouth shut. The other pills, I wrapped in lunch meat. The coating of peanut butter had just enough slippery quality to slide down her gullet. I am trying different tactics, and will try the liverwurst next. (Did not see any in the grocery store). Thanks! |
- Posted by woodnymph2 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 11, 07 at 17:18
Hey friends! I'm back. Just wanted to you to know that the baby food mixed with the pills is the magic charm! The elderly Sheltie loves the beef or lamb flavored baby food and takes all her pills eagerly, when mixed up in this. Like a cocktail before her dinner! The owner complains about the expense of the baby food, but hey, its worth the lack of hassle. November is going much better than October. Anyway, thanks for all your good suggestions.... |
My cat takes two pills a day, for thyroid and liver. I hide them in a small pat of butter and she licks them up.Or should I say down? |
- Posted by dances_in_garden (My Page) on Mon, Nov 12, 07 at 22:01
I know you already have your answer, but in case it stops working. I take some cheese (low fat, either mozarella or chedder) and melt it part way in the microwave, then knead the powder into the cheese and roll it into a ball. Ruby knows every trick in the book. But even the most awful tasting pill, crushed into powder and kneaded into real cheese - she will scarf it right up. She won't take a big piece though, I have to give it to her in smaller pieces. |
Most medicines in pill form taste very bitter... it's best to get the pill in the dogs mouth past the first third of the tongue which is where most of the taste buds are. The makers of Greenies came out with a product called pill pockets. They are a doughy beef flavored product that is hollow in the center. You put the pill(s) in the center and close the dough around the pill. They work pretty decently. Bob |
hi woodnymph, glad to hear things are going better. My English mastiff isn't a picky eater but will detect pills in anything after about a week, so I have to alternate what I hide the pills in. I use a variety of foods: peanut butter By alternating foods, I avoid wrestling with his jaws (and his slobber!)-- he scarfs those "hidden" pills right down. Hope this helps. |
- Posted by woodnymph2 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 14, 07 at 13:08
Thanks for all the great suggestions. Right now, the beef or lamb flavored baby food is working like a charm. I will keep all the suggestions in mind, in case things change.... |
I'm not sure how much baby food you need, but if the cost is a worry, you can always freeze it in icecubes and thaw one per day. The jars only last 3 days in the fridge. But if an ice-cubes worth is enough for a day, you'll get atleast 12 days worth out of a jar. Even better, she could make her own to freeze. |

2013 and earlier Nissan Altima Prices Paid and Buying Experience
tjinva Posts: 23We just picked up the car - a new 2011 Altima 2.5SL - from Northern Virginia
MSRP of $30,485 on the vehicle plus all-weather mats for the front and rear thrown in that has a MSRP of $90.
39 month lease/15K miles per year
Money Factor: .00153
Residual: 60%
Miles on odometer: 37 miles
Only front end payment was the first month's lease payment of $273.64
Sales tax, tags and bank acquisition fee are all integrated into the lease payments
I don't know what things are like in other parts of the country but here in Northern Virginia, you can get a very good deal for a 2011 Altima but you do have to negotiate. -
robray222000 Posts: 8
tjinva Posts: 23Yes, I should have provided that information as well.
The capitalized cost before sales tax, tags and dealer prep was $24,718 which included the rebate that Nissan is offering. The $750 rebate is not available with this lease but the $500 rebate was given to reduce the cost.
There were at least a couple of dealers in the DC metro area willing to offer this deal or something close to it. With the month end coming up and the inventory of Altimas that many dealers have, it should be possible to negotiate a good deal. -
jmm5 Posts: 4I just closed on a loaded 3.5SR on 12/30/10 at a Northern Virginia dealer and I think I ended up pretty well. Kudos to truecar.com for the assist.
EXTERIOR: Metallic Slate
INTERIOR: Blonde
$750 Customer Incentive
$500 Customer Bonus Cash
Sticker Price: $32,295
Your Price: $26,088
This dealer has agreed to price your deal relative to the Factory Invoice Price. Their offer is:
$3,460 below Factory Invoice
(Includes Incentives)
Factory Invoice: $29,548
Dealer Offer: - $3,460
Your Price: $26,088
The only catch was that the closest car already had the aluminum kick plates installed, but it only increased the price to $26,200 which still seems to be a great price. The only other potential issue was that the dealer normally charges a $389 doc fee, but they lowered it to $99 since I am a Maryland resident (max of $100 in MD). Sale went through quickly with no issues or dealer add-on crud. Financed with Pentagon Federal Credit Union at 2.99% for 60 months, but dealer did offer 2.69%. I decided I'd rather stick with the credit union for $2 extra a month. What do you all think? -
jmm5 Posts: 4Nope. I've never been a fan of those though we'll see how the CVT looks through 36k. I let the salesman/finance guys do their scripts for ex. warranty, paint sealant, etc., but simply declined them and they did not push it. It was a rather smooth process inspecting the car and then doing the paperwork to close out the process.
hondamom6 Posts: 19I purchased the 2011 Altima 2.5 SL with these packages and add ons:
Premium audio package
Convenience package
Convenience Plus Package
2.5 SL Package
splash guards
floor and trunk mat set
aluminun kickplates
It also has a moonroof wind deflector which isn't listed on the MSRP sticker.
Color is ocean gray with charcoal leather interior.
The MSRP was $28370.00 and I got it for $23,999. I already had financing and didn't use theirs. I refused any extended warranty. We also got a great financing rate through our credit union.
I did all my negotiating by email and was told by the Nissan dealership that the price was only good through 12/31. I purchased on 12/30. Our credit union financing rate also expired on 12/30 so I needed to go ahead and purchase to lock in that rate.
I purchased from Peltier Nissan in Tyler, Texas. I tried to get a couple hundred more off as ocean gray was not my 1st color choice. My preference was white or black but they only had ocean gray, silver and tuscon red (which I really didn't like).
I feel like I got a good deal. I was surprised that I was able to get that much off since the Altima is the #1 family sedan according to Consumer Reports. What do you think? -
tjinva Posts: 23Did the pricing include sales tax, tags and processing?
Not sure of the market in TX but here in Northern Virginia, the same car is available for about $21,900 plus taxes, tags and dealer processing.
This particular dealership apparently ships to other states. I did not buy from them because a local dealership, a few miles from where we live, matched the price but I came close to getting it from them. The salesman, who was very professional and straightforward, told me that he sold a car to someone in TX and had it shipped there - obviously the cost of shipping would need to factored into the price. -
tjinva Posts: 23I don't know what they charge for shipping but I do know that if one wants to pick up the car from their dealership, it would be priced at the amount I stated.
I am not sure if the forum's rules allows me to post the link to the dealership and the very same MSRP of the vehicle that you bought. If some one would confirm that I can post the link, I will do so.
Don't ask me how they price it the way they do but it is genuine and given that I got the same pricing from a dealership close to where I live after I showed them the advertised price by this dealer, it is obvious that this sort of pricing although aggressive is something that is being offered by other dealers. But I would also say that if I were not aware of this pricing, I'd probably not have expected the level of discounting I received. I sent out a bunch of emails and received price quotes that varied by almost $5,000 between the highest quote and the vehicle that I purchased - all with the same MSRP. -
flinnja Posts: 1Here's what I paid for my 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5SL, in case it helps anyone. Got it on 1/3/11 at Pedder Nissan in Hemet, California.
Overall, buying experience was very good. Although they did "trick" me into getting the trunk organizer (I knew I was being tricked but didn't care since I thought the base price was solid). And they did try to trick me by trying to sneak in the $300 vin etching -- but I didn't let them get away with that one.
Any way, here's what I got for $25,732 (out the door $28,554.49)
2011 Nissan Altima 2.5SL
Premium Audio
Technology Package
Convenience Package 1
Convenience Package 2
Fog Lights
Floor Mats
SL Package
Kick Plates
Splash Guards
Trunk Organizer (!)
Hope this helps. Good luck on your next purchase! -
hondamom6 Posts: 19That's about $4000 off of invoice isn't it?
I think that's probably a pretty good price. Are you able to get the color you want?
You could always email another dealership nearby and tell them the deal you've been offered and see if they'll beat it. That's probably what I'd do. But tell them that they have to make it worth your while to drive to their dealership. -
skyfan1 Posts: 37That is pretty good; I paid just about the same price for a new 2010 Altima with the same packages in August. It never hurts to contact the internet sales department at a nearby dealership, tell what you have been offered and see if they will beat it by quite a bit. I got my dealership to throw in items like a few extra small features, glass tint, kickplates, and 4 free oil changes. Every little bit helps.

2011 Nissan Altima 2.5 S
This car does come with floormats. They're not standard on the car , but nearly every car we order we order with floormats (the customers, like you, demand them, and Nissan won't ship too many cars without them anyway).
The price I gave you was net of a 1250 rebate, and is below invoice (we are reimbursed by Nissan so we can sell it below nominal cost and still give you the rebate.
This car doesn't have bluetooth in it. I can add bluetooth for $250, or sell you one of two alternative versions.
Version one has the "convenience package" (alloy wheels, illuminated vanity mirrors, auto headlights, steering wheel audio controls, one touch up/down on the passenger window, auto up/down on the front windows with the keyless remote, power seat, leather gearshift knob) and factory bluetooth (and, yes, floormats and splashguards).
Sticker price is 24550. I can sell it for 21699.
Version two has the "special edition package (alloy wheels, spoiler, steering wheel audio controls, automatic headlights, leather wrapped steering wheel, foglights), factory bluetooth, floormats, splashguars.
This one has a sticker price of 24150 and I can offer it for 21049.
All of the prices are net of the rebate, plus tax, fees and tag. -

How does that sound? I did'nt think it was bad but I came up with a payment that was cheaper and I'm waiting for a call that's going to explain. -
jmm5 Posts: 4I don't think that sounds too great. I got the same car as you, but also got the technology package and wind deflector for just $100 more than you at Brown's Sterling Nissan in Northern Virginia using truecar buying service. See post 2866.
Sticker Price: $32,295
My Price: $26,088 (price is down even more to be a bit above $25k now)
Using truecar for a New York zip (used Palisades, NY), I was able to get your configuration for only $23,555 so it sounds like you would be overpaying by about $2k.

The Great and Powerful Trixie Rises, Chapter 1Twilight's breath caught in her throat, the air like acid in her lungs. The heat of a flaming carriage blasted her face, orange flames curling up into the sky. No wait, she was looking too closely. It wasn't just a carriage, it was a store. Why was a store on fire? No wait, a city! A whole city, filled with houses and storefronts and quaint little cobblestone streets below her, burning as hot as a blast furnace just at the foot of the hill she was standing on. Overhead, the smoke choked out the sun, tinting the sky a crimson red. The wind carried ash and sparking embers up to her as she watched the scene in awe. She had to go, had to move, had to scream, had to do anything! But her hooves were paralyzed, rooted to the ground. "What is this?" She asked aloud, her voice shaking in terror. "Never fear, little one, all will be explained," the Princess of Night's voice so

Those hours had generally been sufficient; the library was never busy, catering mostly to young ponies studying and adult ponies that
The Three NotesApplebloom looked down at the most imposing tome that she had ever seen. It sat on the impromptu table formed by the desks of Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and herself, dominating the surface entirely. "Changes In Equestrian Society In The First Hundred Years After Nightmare Moon's Banishment," the earth pony said, quoting the title to nopony in particular. Her voice didn't carry far in the din of the class; the room was filled with the sound of students familiarizing themselves with their own books, as well as the more sizable noise of students ignoring the schoolwork entirely. Applebloom glanced around the room, and noted that the other groups appeared to be having a lot more fun than hers.Sweetie Belle still seemed shell-shocked at the sheer size of their assignment. Her eyes wide with disbelief, she complained, "I really wish that we had been able to choose our book. I think we got the worst Equestrian History assignment in the history of Equestrian History.

WHAT?" Twilight chuckled, "I'd think that this wouldn't be too surprising when I get a hug from her while everyone else kneels to her. She's the closest thing to a mother I've ever had." Applejack stared blankly, more past Twilight than at her. "Ah. couldn't even imagine what. Did anyone ever tell you how ridiculously lucky you are? That's almost unfair."

What are you expecting to happen(?).
In the first example you haven't set any positions and Python does its best to output the (empty) attribute pos_vector.
BTW For this second example, your x and y are totally unrelated - I don't know if you were expecting them to be connected in some way.
Gotcha. Fixed with a try/except catch.
def set_posX(self, pos = 0): self.ifBool(pos) self.pos_x = pos def get_posX(self): try: return self.pos_x except AttributeError: self.set_posX() return self.pos_X
I suppose it might be bad coding practice but in most of the cases for my variables, if they haven't been defined, need to be designated along the origin of my coordinate system with null (aherm, "zero") values. Hence [0,0,0] as an output for my examples.
That's why in the first example I was expecting some set of default numbers to at least be returned when load_Pos() was called.
andrewsw, on 31 January 2013 - 08:24 PM, said:
I get the impression that main() should be a nested/inner class of vectors(), but it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
Ehhh... it could work that way (actually that was how it originally was set up...) but my Equations class is already fairly large as it is and uses a lot of different functions that are not necessarily tied in to/with my Loader class; thus the reason they are separate files.
Secondly, I'm trying to get more exposure and understanding on using multiple classes in relation to one another while trying to break my single-file-project habits. -

Erm, dunno, as you haven't detailed where this comes from:
Uh sorry, just ignore it; it's effectively the Operator module and class.
Anyhow, tinkered around some more, it works about right but I have another question.
As it now tries to get/set data from one class to another, but the problem is as such that it doesn't seem to perform the proper operations in one class to give any data to the one that's calling it.
for example, if this is what is executed in the shell, it won't result in an error and appear as though everything has gone accordingly but when you try to access the variable/array list for which the data is stored:
>>> x = vectors() >>> x.load_Pos() >>> x.pos_vector [<bound method main.pos_x of <Equations.main object at 0x02AB54F0>>, <bound method main.pos_y of <Equations.main object at 0x02AB54F0>>, <bound method main.pos_z of <Equations.main object at 0x02AB54F0>>]
however, I stilled fiddled with it and got this output as well. Why is that?
>>> x = vectors() >>> y = Equations.main() >>> y.set_posX(0) >>> y.set_posY(0) >>> y.set_posZ(0) >>> position = [y.get_posX(), y.get_posZ(), y.get_posZ()] >>> position [0, 0, 0]
[Edit: ]If it appears in any way to be confusing, I've included the pertinent bits below.

You are importing Operator, which is a module. Operator is not a class or function so you can't call it uses brackets ().
Thanks for the tip, I was pretty sure that was one of the problems involved.
andrewsw, on 30 January 2013 - 05:06 PM, said:
some_fun = functions()
and then you might call the methods set_posX and get_posX on this instance (of the class functions). There is no connection between set/get_posX and your other class, vectors.
So, just off the top of my head, something like this will work then?
class vectors(object): def __init__(self): self.function = Equations.library() def load_Pos(self, pos_x = 0): self.function.set_posX(pos_x) vector = [self.function.get_posX()] self.pos_vector = vector

Python complains correctly. The reason is: when Python runs into a class statement it first builds a dictionary of all the methods. It looks at the arguments and finds a default value self.G. But self refers to an instance to the class which does not yet exist. So Python complains.
The old some_function(bar=None) trick:
class func(object): def __init__(self): self.G = 123 def set_attractor(self, val=None): if val is None: val = self.G self.G_const = val f = func() f.set_attractor() print f.G_const
I see, makes sense...
well problem fixed. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I'm having a problem with installing revit 2012 (on Win7). The installation process froze on 3 out of 12 for several hours. Since there was no reaction to anything (cancelling, closing the window) i terminated the process. When I try to install it again, the wizard sees Revit as installed. And yes, the application is on the hdd, but simply doesnt work (freezes on splash). Neither does the uninstall option work.
How to get rid of the previous, not working application, and install Revit SUCCESSFULLY?
For more information on the Autodesk KB Support article concerning the clean uninstall of Autdoesk products, see this link:
Worst case, use the MSI Cleanup Utility at your own risk.
Ok, the MSI Cleanup helped to remove Revit, but still, I cannot install a new copy. I run the setup as administrator, the anti-virus is off, I've enabled .NET, only recomended step i couldnt follow was changing this AlwaysInstallElevated parameter, as i Cannot find the key paths in registry..? I simply do not see the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer in regedit. Anyway, this is the message that appears during setup:
and after I click ok:
then, when i click ok the setup terminates and writes "couldnt install program". Any Idea what could help? I've tried re-downloading the setup, didn't help too.

Delicious bread
By: (Oct 12, 2012)
My husband and I ordered pumpkin bread and zucchini bread recently which arrived yesterday. I admit we haven't opened the zucchini bread yet, but we have opened the pumpkin bread and shared it with some people at our apartment complex.
Angela seems like a very nice person. She answered my phone calls and emails promptly and professionally.
Everybody agreed that the bread was delicious so I am sure the zucchini bread is just as good. We will definitely be ordering it again.

Unlike Facebook, where almost any name will do for your profile, Google+ takes your name very seriously. Its authenticity determines whether or not your account will be suspended. Google Chairman and former CEO Erich Schmidt recently described the measure as a means to ensure that the new social network remains an "identity service." Schmidt was more specifically addressing criticism that the strict naming guideline restricts user privacy and confidentiality. Google basically doesn't believe that false names infringe on user privacy. They do, however, recognize that false names infringe upon a social network's ability to make money.
That's good news for anyone wishing to utilize social media marketing effectively.
The move is meant for Google+ to gain ground against Facebook in becoming the "online identity" of users against a backdrop of mass mobile connectivity and the advent of cloud computing. Currently, websites across the Internet utilize the Facebook Connect feature to instantly integrate the visitor's profile into their web content. For example, some websites feature a way for you to "Like" content directly on the site itself, and you may or may not be shocked when you see your own Facebook profile picture on the site in the respective window. Google+ wants in on this ability to connect with Internet entrepreneurs. They see an edge by eliminating alter-egos from their social network.
In my opinion we should just trust Google. They know what they're talking about on this one. The "real names only" rule sounds like some hardline nonsense, but it's meant to preserve the accuracy of Google+ identity. That accuracy will become invaluable to social media marketers as Google+ grows. Instead of allocating so many dollars of internet marketing as projected "waste" for worthless profiles, those that focus their funds on Google+ users will be able to count each profile with actual value. The integrity of Google+ user names will be one of the major selling points in arguments for SMO strategists to make the switch.
That could change if Facebook decides to follow their fresh-faced opponent and figures out a way to crackdown on fake users. Surely the Facebook bean counters don't like the idea that users have the luxury to create false names. The bold statement by Google+ might be the excuse they need to convince the heads of the company that a new change in the rules needs to occur. Online identity is becoming a serious issue for these companies, but only because it's becoming the predominant concern of the public.
Either way, social media marketers benefit from the assurance that those they reach out to on social media are who they say they are.
