Anderson completes move to Fiorentina
Comment on this storyRome – Brazilian winger Anderson wants to help Fiorentina qualify for next season's Champions League after he completed his loan move from Manchester United.
"I was happy at Manchester for seven or eight years, it was a big club for me... but now it's a new challenge and the time to change," the 25-year-old told Fiorentina's Viola Channel website on Saturday.
"Fiorentina only missed out on Champions League qualification by two points last season, so this year I want to help them get into the Champions League."
The winger joins former Juventus and AC Milan striker Alessandro Matri among Fiorentina's new faces as the club look to reinforce their attack with forwards Giuseppe Rossi and Mario Gomez out with knee injuries.
Fiorentina, who have not been in the Champions League since the 2009-2010 season, are fourth in Serie A. They are five points behind Napoli, who are in the third Champions League spot, and 15 points behind leaders Juventus. – Reuters

Comedian Mike DeStefano -- one of the 5 finalists on last season's "Last Comic Standing" -- died last night ... TMZ has confirmed.
DeStefano was a former heroin addict who had been clean for 11 years. According to the NBC website, he frequently performed at prisons and rehab centers for free.
According to reports, DeStefano died after suffering a massive heart attack last night.
His rep released a statement saying, "It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of a dear friend, a true gentleman, a great comic, and a fierce warrior, Mike DeStefano."
The statement continues ...
It's hard to think that there won't be any more "hey sweetheart" calls, because Mike always made my day with his mix of kindness and warmth AND profanity filled rants against the wrongs of the world. He was the genuine article. We love you and will miss you, Mike."

Last week's poll asked which two undrafted free agents are most likely to make the final 53-man roster? Hundreds of you voted and the overwhelming choices were tight end Colt Lyerla and outside linebacker Adrian Hubbard. That comes as no surprise since Lyerla and Hubbard are clearly the most talented and the most celebrated of this year's UDFA class. But I have my doubts, since neither player impressed me on video. Keep a close eye on running back Rajion Neal and outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott, two lesser-known players who just might have brighter NFL futures.

Working at a desk all day is no hard labor, but it does take a toll on your body. With many people spending more time tied to their swivel chairs, something like the Dstretch is becoming ever more necessary to maintain flexibility and optimal mobility.
Think of it as a clever piece of in-office gym equipment, not designed to have you break a sweat, but ideal for wringing out those awful muscle knots and for keeping your limbs limber. The larger form of the Dstretch takes the subtle shape of the letter D, while the lower platform assumes a flattened circle. A range of straight and curving surfaces invite a number of positions to reset your spine, neck, hips and more. A team of student designers including Marie Claire Cremona and Marianne Camilleri even outfitted the Dstretch with soft fabric for comfy cushioning.

Breakfast Topic: What it's like to have a Spectral Tiger {WoW}
Apr 10th 2009 9:31AM Wow. Usdom I'm pretty sure you have issues.
How the hell does having a crapload of gold equate to being 1) a
slacker in guild 2) shit at "your job" 3) useless !@#$
Want to compare? I'm in school too. I have a load of gold, I can even
screenshot to testify that I'm not just blowing hot air. I have
provided gold loan services for almost all my guilds, sometimes I
even give away gold. I have 50+ mounts. My professions are almost
maxed(I'm too lazy to level the last 5 points) I have never bought
I got lucky, MY spectral tiger was a gift! ^_________^

Officers' Quarters: Waiting at 80 {WoW}
Dec 30th 2008 12:56AM I coordinate raids for my guild, and I myself PUG a lot. Being a casual local guild, we have many lower levels as well as those who wish to see content, but whom have been warned that since we are casual we cannot provide the raiding experience more hardcore guilds can.
Being a local guild, alts are rampant, as people create alts just to play in a environment full of local rojak flavour. Some were also new players, who had never raided in BC or in vanilla, so it was foreign to them.
I was one of those who hit 80 early. I didn't wait; I started to PUG instances straightaway. On my server picking up groups is fairly easy and fast, I could always find groups to do group quests while leveling. I guess it was okay for me since I was away for 2 weeks after the second week of Wrath, though I would have probably liked to grind more badges and up a few rep factions during the time I was away.
Neither did my guild members who hit 80 early wait. They PUG'd on their own and ran with guildies whenever possible, though I think there is not one of them who enjoy PUGs as much as I do. During my absence some of them got more geared than me lol.
Of course, there were those who found the slow pace not to their taste. They wanted to see Malygos' corpse splayed out in front of them ASAP; to see the purples drop into their bags. They left. I do not begrudge them; I wanted to see content too, but I found that I was not willing to give up the friends that I had made in my guild for a token piece.
It doesn't matter to me if people never reach 80.
I love my guild.

Breakfast Topic: Idiosyncrasies {WoW}
Oct 27th 2008 11:08PM My druid has never been anything, and I say ANYTHING, but Balance. Pre-BC, if you were balance, you had to be pretty much deluded. When I came back to WoW after BC, I saw a boomkin in SW, and thought, "holy shit that's what I want to be when I grow up", so I rolled a druid and moonfired it all the way up to 70. I have never ever specced feral, resto, or even restokin. I'm still on the 20g respec, and that was because of 3.0.2 patch where I was trying out specs ^____^
Breakfast Topic: What would you wish for? {WoW}
Sep 16th 2008 8:36AM My Nightelf Druid would wish for all the druids, be they tauren or nightelf, to be a neutral faction and at peace with each other, for druids should never war on druids.
Moonkins aiming to get DPS and group utility {WoW}
Sep 10th 2008 2:11AM The problem with Eclipse is, that it cannot proc often due to its 2 MIN cooldown (wtf?) which also partially negates its chance of proccing "at the right time". This talent would not be viable in PVP due to it's unreliability.
In PVE, I would say it does okay for boss fights, since the longer duration allows for more chance for procs and it would also likely last the full duration of 30 sec. However, this also brings up another issue of mana conservation. If the wrath damage buff procs, is a moonkin supposed to just spam wrath for 30s to get the best out of the proc?
That is hardly sensible in a 10 min straight dps boss fight. Similarly, most moonkins do not use wrath in boss fights to conserve mana and for higher DPM, so the Starfire proc cannot be activated, what then?
This needs work.

My parents have a big old house with steam radiators. Brick walls, insulated in the 1970s with blown cellulose. I am not handy or ambitious when it comes to home projects. 1.) One source online made a comment about Radiator Fins that could be hung on an old radiator to add surface area. Has anyone heard of such a product? Where would I get it? 2.) Do radiator heat reflectors work? Any reason I couldn't just use that foam insulation panels with foil lining? Or would the heat make them melt or outgass or something? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Any kind of reflector our insulation and reflector or insulation between the rad and brick is going to put more heat in the room and less in the wall. How much is not clear. How many radiators are we talking about? You could install one and see what it does. If the wall behind the rad is cooler with the panel in place than without it, you are doing something. I think that foam/foil panels are a good idea for cost and ease. I think the fins are a waste of money. They won't increase efficiency. If you needed to warm up a room because it did not have sufficient radiators in it compared to other rooms, it might be worth a look, but a fan blowing lightly on the radiator would probably work just as well. |
1. Fins alow radiator to warm the area quicker with little or no long term energy savings. No idea where to buy them. 2. A reflector makes a person feel warmer in perportion to distance they are from the radiator. This is the result of air tempature within the room plus heat radiating onto the body from reflector. A reflector would result in energy savings because room tempature can be lowered while a person receiving radiant heat remains comfortable. The foil faced foam should work as long as its not closer than 1 or 2 feet of radiator. 2 feet from a fuel burning heater could possibly damage foam. |

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
When you write for a publication its previous issues can give you a guidance on tone, style, and all the other matters that will help you create your article. Your job is a little harder if you're writing for a one-off publication, or for one that's just about to publish its first issue. I'll talk about that later in the video. But first, here are some things to look at when a previous issue does exist. First, there are the publication's demographics. Who's reading it? Why are they reading it? As they read, what kinds of ads do they see? You can actually tell a lot about a publication just from its ads.
Next, look for articles like the one that you're going to write, with an eye toward their style and form. Are they broken into sections? How many paragraphs are in each section? How many words are in a typical sentence? How often are sentences interrupted with such things as commas or colons or dashes? These questions are tangential to those of voice and style. Are sentences given from the I point of view--that is the first person--or do they appeal to you and they. Look at how formal the writing is as well as.
Does it use a lot of long or unusual words? Is their industry jargon? Once again, your goal is to match the publication's style. Now, if there's no previous issue, you'll have to answer the same questions of demographics, form, and voice, only the source of your answers will be different. In that case, talk to whoever is managing the publication: the editor, the department manager, a webmaster, or whoever it is that order the peace. In those situations it's a good idea to stay in touch with that person while you're working on the article, just to make sure that you stay on the right track.
But regardless of whether it's a new or an existing publication, you'll have to find just one more thing to make your article really relevant to its readers: an underlying theme. For an example, let's take our article about music education. We might notice that the magazine often covers issues of funding, perhaps because arts teachers have to justify their place in the budget. That is our hook. Studying a publication's demographics, style, and tone will tell us how to write, but finding their underlying theme tells us what to write.
Together they give us the keys to writing an article that both fits the publication and compels people to read it.

Comming's Corner: Seasonal Recipes from LUREC's Executive Chef
Loyola Neighborhood News: Retreat and Ecology Campus - V3, I1
Scott Commings is the Executive Chef at the Loyola Retreat and Ecology Center (LUREC). Chef Commings embraces and lives the environmental initiatives of LUREC through his work at the farm and in the kitchen. Here's a couple of tips to be friendly to the environment while creating tasty meals for your family:
1) Buy seasonally- the food tastes it's very best in peak season AND it's cheaper.
2) Get to know your farmers- The farmers grow the food they like to eat. Talk to them and find out what they enjoy and the best preparation. Buy something different every time you go to the market.
3) Plan ahead- Plan your meals and shop for the week so you can procure all your ingredients at one time.
4) Be creative- Don't be afraid of trying something new. Leftover veggies? Create a one-of-a-kind salad with a little vinaigrette to use on top of sandwiches or entrees.
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
(Approx. 8 Cups)
1 Medium Butternut Squash
6 Cups Water
¼ cup plus 2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
½ tsp. Ground Cloves
1 tsp. Kosher Salt
¾ cup Heavy Cream
Prepare the Squash:
Halve the squash lengthwise and scrape out the seeds and pulp. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until soft. Let cool.
In a sauce pan scrape the cooked squash and cover with the water. Add the brown sugar ground cloves and kosher salt. Bring to a boil and turn to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Using a hand blender, puree the mixture to combine to a smooth consistency. Utilize a kitchen blender if a hand blender is not available (puree in batches and use caution with any hot liquid). Bring the mixture back to a simmer and add the cream; let simmer an additional 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving. Serve and top with crème fraiche or candied walnuts. Enjoy!

The Higley Unified School District presented proposed boundaries this week for its new middle schools, which will open in fall 2013.
Under the proposal, Gateway Pointe, Higley, Chaparral and Coronado elementary schools would feed into Cooley Middle School, which will be built at Cooley Station. Students would then attend Williams Field High School. Students at Centennial, Cortina, Power Ranch and San Tan elementary schools would attend the yet-to-be named middle school that will sit in Sossaman Estates. Students would then attend Higley High School.
Any student can apply for open enrollment within the district to attend the school of his or her choosing. Applications are due March 1. Students in grades eight through 11 currently attending or slated to attend Higley or Williams Field high schools would be allowed to stay on that path under the recommendation.
Voters in Higley gave the district authority to enter into a long-term lease, though they turned down two budget overrides, on Nov. 6. The district — the only one in the East Valley that still operates with K-8 schools — will transition to K-6 elementary schools, seventh- and eighth-grade middle schools, and ninth through 12th-grade high schools beginning with the 2013-14 school year. The new schools will be built by outside groups on land owned by the district. Higley will then enter into a lease-to-own agreement for the schools and the equipment inside them.
The boundary recommendations are online at husd.org. A second public forum will be 6 p.m. Dec. 6 in the district office, 2935 S. Recker Road. The governing board will discuss and vote on the recommendations 6:30 p.m. Dec. 18.

The 20 Most Slept-On Underground Rap Projects Of 2013
Gorgeous Children – ICE
Last year, Face Vega and Gila Monsta knocked me off my ass with their eponymous debut project. A year later, they've finally given fans what they wanted – eight brand new songs in the form of ICE. Comparing these two to Raider Klan doesn't even begin to do them justice – Gila has an acute ear for minimalist, detail-rich production, like the DJ Mustard of dark, chilly beats, while Vega raps with an all-knowing smirk on records like "Costly Bottle" and "Liberace Gems". When people talk about artists making incredible music in their bedroom, ICE is a prime example of what they mean, packed with aquatic beats and gloomy rhymes.

"I think she should apologize and make a sizeable donation to a Hackney charity that deals with young people, in compensation for the rudeness and damage that she's done to our community," said Hackney Councilor Ian Rathbone. Hackney's Member of Parliament, Diane Abbott, added, "It is only a music video, but it's images like this, with pop stars glamorizing gangs, which means that some young people … get drawn in."
Additionally, UK politicians are up in arms that Britney used a replica gun while filming in Stoke Newington Town Hall. Had they known, they would never have allowed the video to film there.
So what's Brit's response? Apologize profusely for being so insensitive? Vow to reshoot the video, or not release it at all? Or how about making that "sizeable donation"? Well, according to a statement made by Spears' camp, none of the above!
"The video is a fantasy story featuring Britney's boyfriend, Jason Trawick, which literally plays out the lyrics of a song written three years before the riots ever happened," reads the statement.
And that's it. No apologies, no nothin'. We'll see if that's explanation enough for those offended. (We doubt it.)

Hi Lisa,
To me, it looks like the leaves have been badly scorched by sunlight, earlier in the year. I have had the same with my Moth Orchids because mine are standing on a window sill facing south-east where they get too much direct sunlight. They need lots of indirect sunlight, so a sill facing east or west would be best.
You have repotted it correctly and is otherwise looking very healthy. After flowering a new leaf usually appears.
Instead of watering once every week I would be inclined to mist one week and water another week until it gets warmer and brighter again. Water temparature should be lukewarm and preferably no tap water. When the roots are still green, no watering is needed. Hopefully the orchid will recover soon.
Oops, I do hope I used the correct word. I thought the offspring of cows was written as calves. Guess I remembered wrong See, that's what you get with foreigners
Ok, signing off to do some shopping.
Oh that, hmmm I tried to shorten the open space but instead did the opposite, LOL.
Lottie, I remember notepads too!! Glad that the heating is working again. I have a foot warmer in my bed. Otherwise I will be up all night with cramp in my calfs.
Don't know Geoff, what do you mean?
Thanks Geoff, Sorry to ask, Insomnia1973
Is that AT Gary, trying to sell some "sn(e)akey business" ?
1. What soil did you re-pot the Moth orchid in?
2. Does the temperature in the room go beneath 18 C at night or is it standing in a cold(er) spot?
3. What is your watering regime?
4. A clear photo could clarify a lot
Jo, maybe OH could rent a front loader, that would keep him safe (until he drives into a ditch that is)
What's Fine Fare? Could someone explain please?
I hadn't thought of that but yes, when I was a little girl we used to have the milkman's van too and in some regions they still have the odd one. Most of the time they also sold other groceries. We did have quite a few shops but over the years most of them either gave up or the owners didn't have anyone to follow in their footsteps.
It would be, wouldn't it Geoff?!! Hope your getting the picture. That's what he does all day, every day The good part is that he gets to see loads of wildlife, more than you would see in the woods on a walk.
Staying indoors as much as I can Caz, though the birds do need feeding in this kind of weather. I do feel sorry for my OH who has to go in and out his front loader every day. I also worry about him being safe on the road 'cos he has to drive through a part of Germany to get to work and they only clear the main roads, so very slippery.

Some Members rethink BR's money plan
BATON ROUGE, La (WGMB) - The recent rash of shootings has forced some members of the Metro Council to rethink where the city is spending money.
$900,000 is set aside to turn St Louis and St Ferdinand Streets into two-lane roads.
Now - Councilman Mike Walker wants to take that money to help fight crime. Walker, along with several council members want to give $700,000 to the Police Department to step up patrols - and $200,000 to the District Attorney's Office.
Those opposed to the move say two-lane roads downtown would build up the area and also keep the criminals out. The council will take about the $900,000 dollars Wednesday. Even if the Council approves the move there could be a roadblock ahead. Mayor Kip Holden has to approve moving the money. We tried to get a comment - he was unavailable.

MINI Cooper Clutch & Transmission Questions
boxingday Posts: 9This was my last reply to someone else with your similar problem......
As much as I enjoyed driving the mini, I am so glad I sold it when I did. I lost money on the resale but my clutch problems are gone! I must get at least one email a week on this same issue, Mini has a very weak clutch and just won't own up the simple fact that this should be a recall. I have a friend that works as a mechanic for BMW and Mini and he has given me the inside word....."get rid of that car or be prepared to spend money on a regular basis for the replacement of the clutch"
Good Luck! -
mshawkman Posts: 10Hi Brian:
I have a 2009 JCWClubman that I bought new last year. It only has 5,000 miles on it and the clutch failed this past weekend :sick: . Like you and others,I was told this happened because of the way the car was driven :mad: . I have been driving for over 40 years and ALL my cars had manual transmissions. I flipped out when I was told this. The dealer wanted to charge me $3,900.00 to replace the clutch and I flipped out double :mad: :mad: . I told him that this was a FLAWED clutch and was prepared to contact everyone I could, including the consumer advocate at my local television station. They are now replacing the clutch and only going to charge me labor (which is bad enough!) After reading all the posts on this site, I am very skeptical :confuse: about keeping this car. I belong to a MINI car club, and so far I have yet to hear of anyone else with this problem.
It's a shame that BMW/MINI has not seen fit to recall these clutches, and have made it so difficult for us.
Hope everything turns out okay for everyone,
mshawkman -
krampus Posts: 1I have a 2008 Mini Clubman S. My wife and I don't drive much, so it only has 12,000 miles. The clutch just went. Mini San Francisco said it is because of "clear abuse from high revving." We're middle aged and drive carefully. We've driven manual transmission cars for over 30 years and never had a problem like this.
I complained to Mini USA. They said they'd get the bill reduced by 10%. Not great given this will be at least a $3,000 repair.
I wish I looked into this before I bought the car. I'm not looking forward to another $3,000 repair in another 12,000 miles. I may take boxingday's advice and dump the car. -
mshawkman Posts: 10I hope you did not agree to the 10% reduction in your bill...IT IS NOT ENOUGH!! I really fought with my dealer and exposed everything I had read abouth the failed clutches.They are aware of the problem, only they are just trying to get away with not having to take care of it; if you don't let them know that you are aware of all the bad exposure, they will get away with it. I did not have to pay for my new clutch...you should not have to either.
Good luck!! -
georgiat Posts: 2Looks like Mini is trying to pull a fast one on everyone... We bought a brand new 2009 Cooper S and by the 12,000 mile mark, it was making a screeching noise whenever the car started off in 1st gear. We took the car to three different Mini dealers in LA and Orange County, and were met with the same story from all. They had to open up the car to see if it was a MINI faulty part, or if it was "Abusive Driving" on our part. And that we would have to pay for the examination.
My boyfriend and I have driven manual cars all our lives and have never ever seen this problem in any of our other cars. The service guys basically admitted that this problem occurs in MINI cars but that they were not liable for the repairs. I mean, what's to stop them from claiming "Abusive Driving" every single time so they never have to pay for their problem?
My advice, go into a MINI dealership on a busy weekend when there are a lot of people around, and kick up a huge stink, stating very loudly all the issues you have, and how poorly MINI has treated you and your clearly faulty car. Then see how fast they turn around and decide to pay for their faulty workmanship.
We ended up getting rid of our lemon of a MINI. It was a cute car, but was far more trouble than it was worth. -
docrox Posts: 12I have just been told the same thing and am in the midst of the battle.
I have a 2010 S with 3,600 miles. I have driven stick off and on all my life. It started making a metal on metal noise shifting into first. Two days later, it did it sometimes into 2nd. I called my dealer who said to have it brought in ( dealer is out of state). There is a dealer in Madison Wisconsin who is new to Mini (4 days) and the tow would only pay to them since they were closer, so I couldn't use the dealer that I purchased it from. After he checked it out he said the clutch would need to be replaced and it would be under warranty. Then he called and said the Mini Rep. had examined it and said it was due to improper driving and I had burned the clutch and flywheel down to nothing. I know I have driven the car properly. After battling a bit, they have said they will pay for parts but I have to pay labor at $1750. Doesn't sound right. -
mshawkman Posts: 10The clutch burned out at 3,600 miles? I thought mine was bad at 5,000! There definately is a problem with the clutches. I had to pay for my labor as well; $1100. Your labor is high in Madison; I live in Los Angeles and maybe we just have more problem here. I wish you well...hopefully we won't be having any more problems after this.
docrox Posts: 12I continued to fight and won. I asked to speak to the Mini rep who was making the decisions. The service dept. called me back after a few hours and said they had talked to him and he now authorized a one time "courtesy" repair and would pay everything. The tech who fixed the clutch and flywheel called me saying when he test drove it the car mat was catching on the clutch and that may have been the problem. He said it would ride the clutch. That is encrouraging but I will still get out of the car. I now have the car back and the clutch never felt like this. I bought the car new with no miles on it and the clutch always felt tight. Now it is loose and smooth. Not sure what this all means, but am putting it out there in case someone else has the problem.

debe1 Posts: 1Just drove a 1500 mile road trip, on my return home yesterday, three houses down from my driveway, the clutch went out. There must have been an angel on my shoulder that it didn't happen in the middle of Montana! I felt the clutch 'clicking' under my foot just moments before it died. Calling around today for quotes, 1300.00, labor & parts, includes fly wheel, or 1495.90, no fly wheel. I'm in Portland, OR, are these prices competative & what should I beware of going forward?

jhandel Posts: 1Congrats! I just got mine back yesterday.. Wish I had found this thread before.. I had 16k miles on mine.. They did the same "under the table" kind of deal, including a "lesson" from the shop forman on how to drive a stick.. But unfortunetly mine was only 50% covered by the "deal" so I payed 934.00 for what should have been under warranty.
Did anyone else notice the clutch peddle was WAY WAY lighter after the repair than when I took the car at delivery.. And moving the stick through the tree is at least 2 or 3 times smoother too.. It really is a different car then I bought less than a year ago.
Josh -
docrox Posts: 12I did notice that it was much easier to engage the clutch and much smoother also. It had to go back to the dealer as I couldn't shift into 3rd or 5th after a few days of getting it back. I sent it to Minnesota this time and was worried it was the transmission. It was just that the Madison dealership had put a clip on wring that holds the cables together.
It makes funny noises now and I'm driving it like it is made of china so it has to go. I have lost faith in the brand. -
minimi1 Posts: 1Hello I also have a JCW and just had the same problem as you. I just moved from Los Angeles and live in SF. I took the car in today with clutch problems and found out the clutch is out and needs to be replaced. I wanted to find out what did you end up doing with the dealership. I am waiting for their evaluation but am getting myself ready for a battle as I am very annoyed at the situation.
Any input will help.
Thanks. -
docrox Posts: 12The longer I battled, the more they gave. They at first said they would pay parts and I would owe labor. $1700 down from $3200.
I said "no" and asked to speak to the Rep. who was making all of the decisions. They never got around to that. I am assuming the Rep. knew I was going to continue to fight. They called and said they would pay for it all as a one time "courtesy". Meaning that if it goes out again, I am stuck. Therefore, I am getting rid of it as soon as I can. I will take a big hit as it is so new. Oh well. Good luck. -
faochili Posts: 2So...its been exactly a year since i've purchased my Mini Cooper S and have had a mixed bag of feelings about it! After a year...mostly i'd say i have really enjoyed the car...i honestly look forward to driving it everytime even if i could also use a 4x4...its bitchin! This is without saying some notable issues i have had with it...! 1st was a front axel and bushing knock which was addressed and tightened by Mini ! 2nd was electrical issues with the power windows...which would work erratically...and was fixed by Mini...! 3rd and most recently I have heard a metal creeking from what sounded like the transmission! As a result Mini found that the clutch had been "abused"...only after less than 14000..! After they told me I would have to assume the cost of repair and labor, I began kicking up a storm, so the service rep...renig'd to pay for 1/2 the cost...so again I kicked up a storm and was told he would call back after looking into what else he could do...! I found this forum and strengthened my argument that i shouldn't be held responsible for repair & he told me they would totally pay for it...! Of course I was thankful of this gesture, but I can't help to think how is it possible to destroy a clutch after a year...! And also ...should I be concered that after they replace clutch & flywheel that this is bound to happen again! Service Rep. said next time i'd be stuck with total repair! I like the car but don't want to deal with a lemon...! :surprise:
drcmcinaz Posts: 2You did better than me. BMW headquarters said they would honor warranty, BUT they had to bow to service manager decision. Service manager said he'd lose his job if he didn't follow regional rep decision. (Some reps honor warranty, others void as 'owner wear and tear'). SWest rep reduced from $2000 to $790 after hearing about all the yelping I was doing - in person, on FaceBook, to BMW, but won't go lower, won't allow customers to talk to him. If you love MINI, don't buy them in the SWest states.
I see posts here saying that owner got BMW to honor OEM and I'm jealous.
I now hate my car and wince when I shift. 30 years of driving a stick, and I'm wincing. -
mshawkman Posts: 10I was told that my clutch failure was due to "driver abuse" which I firmly denied since I have been driving manual vehicles for over thirty years(including trucks, sports cars and 4X4's.) and NEVER had a clutch burn out.I found this site and told the service rep that I had intented to go to our local television station and have a discussion with their consumer reporter about the reports of failed clutches by a pretty large group of MINI owners and how MINI USA would not involve themselves with issues between their customers and their dealerships,and how the area rep also refused to involve himself with the issues.The more I complained and made them all aware that I knew there was a problem with these clutches,the less insistant the dealership was to charge me for the clutch. It was replaced without charge, however I did still have to pay for labor; $1,100.00. That was bad enough!! I suggest that you don't give in to the "driver abuse" story...that it is your fault not the problem with their clutches. I wish you luck!!
flutero Posts: 1I wish I would have seen this thread before I bought my MINI. At 5500 miles my clutch went out. It appears my story is the same as everyone's story in this thread. MINI blamed me for their faulty clutch. Fortunately for me, the dealership was willing to pay for a lot of the cost. Of course, I shouldn't have to pay for anything, in my opinion. I realize that the clutch is a wear & tear item, but it should last longer than 5500 miles with a driver that doesn't abuse it (I've never had to replace a clutch before). Even if some crazy teenager was driving like a bat out of hell, it should last longer than 5500 miles. I have seen others on this thread that had their clutch go out earlier than what mine did! This is amazing to me. This problem is costing people a lot of money, even though it isn't their fault. I'm surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit out there. I guess it's too hard to prove that it's a faulty clutch versus driver abuse. I wonder how many people have had problems compared with the people that haven't?
mshawkman Posts: 10That is a question that I have been asking as well. I belong to a MINI club that has over a thousand members, around two hundred that are very active, and I am the only one who has had the problem. I do know that there are people in the club who drive their MINIs harder than I ever would, and they are still on their original clutches(some at over 100,000 miles.) All I know is that mine should not have burned out at 5,000 miles, and everyone in the club agrees.Hope all stays well with your vehicle.

beaton1 Posts: 1My wife just had her clutch replaced at 8,000 miles here in boston. They did it under warranty when she brought it in for a light screeching noise from the engine compartment. Once the clutch was replaced, the noise persisted. The clutch is now easier to shift than it was, not nearly as tight. It makes a lot of metallic noise when you move the stick shift around though, even when the car is off. Is this normal for a MINI? Its much louder than when we move the stick shift on the Subaru or the Honda and it didn't seem to make this noise with the old clutch. She brought it back and now they have replaced some component of the air conditioning unit. When I spoke to the service rep and described the problem, I told him the cooling fan was running a lot and I noticed the noise when the fan came on and when the AC was off. They couldn't replicate the sound and on a quick test drive this evening, the fan didn't come on and no sound either. Anyone else had these problems? They said there is a service bulletin on the primary cooling fan as well as the clutch. My wife traded her civic in for the mini a couple months ago with 185,000 miles on the original clutch and I sold my civic with 150,000 on the original clutch. The subbie is going on 100,000 miles without a clutch issue, knock on wood.
docrox Posts: 12
docrox Posts: 12My Rep. wouldn't talk to me either. The service manager said he couldn't give me the Reps. number so I suggested he give the Rep. my number. He never called me. I told service that I wasn't paying until I talked to the Rep. That's when they buckled and did the free "courtesy" fix.
I also wince when I shift. I am trading it hopefully this weekend and am holding my breath it makes it till then!

Shimano XT 10-Speed Chain CN-HG95

Solid so far
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I used this for a 1x10 Shimano crank/cassette/derailleur set-up. Sizing was pretty straight forward and the chain has been working well through the dry stuff as well as wet and muddy. The crank is a wide-narrow type (Wolf Tooth) and this has not dropped nor have I had any shifting issues.

CLIQ XT owners may experience slight excitement reading this, but only slight - the OTA update version 1.32.20 rolling out now to CLIQ XTs around the country does not contain Android 2.1 - it's merely an incremental update over its existing ancient OS (what is it, 1.5 nowadays?). This update showed up a couple of days ago as a limited beta test, and, thankfully, it didn't take Motorola long to open the flood gates to all CLIQ XT owners.

Best New Android Apps
imgur for Android
imgur for Android allows you to upload images to imgur from your android device, directly from the app or from the share menu.
Have you ever wanted to make custom ringtones, alarms, or notification sounds in Android but had no clue how to do it, even if you already put a media file onto your device? I can't blame you - Android is absolutely terrible about letting you do anything but pick one of the existing system sounds and offers no way of adding your own.
Enter Ringdroid. Ringdroid's sole purpose is to let you take an existing music file, crop it exactly how you want it, and then save it as either a ringtone, an alarm, or a notification.
Sprint continued its 4G announcement marathon this morning with the official launch of WiMax service in Minneapolis-St.Paul, MN, also known as Twin Cities, and Pittsburgh, PA. Welcome to the fast lane!
This announcement follows the Nashville 4G launch 2 weeks ago, Orlando launch last week, and the introduction of Epic 4G in the beginning of the month. Sprint's 4G service now covers 55 markets.
Users of the only 2 aforementioned devices capable of running on Sprint's 4G network are charged an extra $10 "premium data" fee, no matter whether 4G is available in their area or not.
Imgur.com is one of the best, if not the best, sites to upload that image you're about to share with a gazillion people. The site is very simple and robust, yet incredibly functional, and, most importantly, allows all uploaded images to be embedded on other sites without complaining about hotlinking. It is the service used almost exclusively for sharing pictures on reddit.com (hi all redditors!). Imgur started as an anonymous one-time upload service but later introduced account support, which was probably the most frequently requested feature.
Ever wanted to know what exactly it takes to roll out a whole new cellular network? Sprint, being one of the first companies in the US to do it (well, Clearwire is doing all the leg work), today launched a new video series which will explore just what exactly it takes to provide a large metropolitan area with 4G coverage.
The first video, "Wiring up 4G in NYC: Rooftops," is out now, embedded below.
The T-Mobile G2 is one of the most anticipated Android devices to hit the market this fall, and while the release date is still a bit over a week away (October 6th), T-Mobile stores are already receiving their stock.
The following pictures appeared on TmoNews today showing the G2 in its full glory. Feast your eyes on this bad boy (oh, why must it look so sexy?) and then grab your own via the best deal on the web: the Wirefly preorder for $150 out the door (no tax or shipping charges).
We'll keep this short and sweet - Android Police needs an official shirt design. However, none of us are of the artistic caliber necessary for such an endeavor (if you need any proof of that, check out the t-shirt I was sporting at Google I/O this year. Ironed on, baby!). This is where you, the super-talented-Photoshop/Illustrator-wizard, come in.

Cigna Launches YouTube Video On Expanded Cigna Dental Oral Health Integration Program Coverage
The Cigna Dental Oral Health Integration Program ® has launched a new video as part of the company's month-long celebration of the American Dental Hygienists' Association (ADHA) National Dental Hygiene Month. The video addresses coverage of several high-risk conditions and helps customers understand how good oral health can have a positive impact on overall health.
"As a health service company, Cigna's goal is to provide programs and resources to our customers that assist in improving their overall health and wellness," said Dr. Miles Hall, Cigna's clinical director for dental. "This video is one more way we provide information to our customers on the importance of appropriate care and prevention for gum disease and tooth decay."
The Cigna Dental Oral Health Integration Program reimburses 100 percent of out-of-pocket costs for specific dental services used to treat or help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. The program is for people with certain medical conditions that research shows may be impacted by dental care, such as diabetes, heart disease, pregnancy, stroke, chronic kidney disease, organ transplants and head and neck cancer radiation. Plus, the program offers discounts on prescription dental products through Cigna Home Delivery Pharmacy and information about stress and other behavioral conditions that can affect oral health. No other health service company offers a program that integrates dental, pharmacy and behavioral components.
"At Cigna we are very focused on providing a holistic approach to a person's well-being and our ability to integrate dental health information and reach our customers through enhanced, research-based programs," said Hall

Colby buzzell possesses that nomadic spirit, all right, and Lost in America is his tribute to Jack Kerouac's 1957 autobiographical novel, On the Road. Buzzell's trip is punctuated by the death of his Korean-born mother and informed by the postwar blues. "The last time my life made any sense at all was when I was in the military," he writes.
Now in his thirties, Buzzell meanders across the country, looking for work (and occasionally finding it), while trying to keep his beloved 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente from expiring. But Buzzell and his memoir don't really hit their stride until he reaches the Motor City.
In Detroit, Buzzell stumbles on an almost surrealistic vision of blight and decay. But an odd thing happens: he falls in love—with the battered landscape, the warmly run residential hotel he has made his home, and the surprisingly friendly people he meets foraging the wrecked city. Here he describes his visit to the deserted Packard auto plant:
At one time, we actually made things within these walls; people made a good living and worked in teams and shipped items off our assembly lines. Now the Packard plant and the ruins of Detroit are large open coffins where artists and vagrants pay their respects, or gravediggers come in to pick a corpse of its copper bones. . . .
Peck gives us a sociological sketch of the recession. Buzzell, at his most eloquent, supplies the poetry.

Indie folk-rock duo You Knew Me When are set to perform at Yellowstone Cellars & Winery at 8 p.m. on Aug. 16.
There is no cover charge.
After uprooting from their Nashville home and full-time jobs in June 2012, the husband-and-wife musicians set plans to tour the nation for a full year. They still haven't stopped.
They independently released their first studio album "You, Me, and the Rest of the World," an LP that conveys the melding of Karisa and Cie's musical styles. It is an album that features a fusion of progressive indie-rock and folk compositions infused with myriad stirring beats.
Karisa, who previously served as a Nashville public school music teacher, provides the piano, ukulele and glockenspiel, while Cie, who spent several years as the Global Events Manager for Gibson Guitar, supplies the guitar and rhythmic nuances. The cumulative result is a musical style that blends a singer-songwriter soul with a pop/rock mentality.
The duo plans to record its second studio album later this year.

Mega Wrestling League (MWL) [We'll change the future of the wrestling business!]
MWL (Mega Wrestling League)
Hey, I just want to say that I really appreciate the comments/suggestions/opinions you had given to me in my last Be the Booker Thread, WWE 2011: The Bigtime Generation. I asked to shut it down due to some bad decisions that I'm using on that thread. Since it's now gone, I must create a new and a fresh Be the Booker Thread.
This one starts after the pay-per-view, WrestleMania, which happened on the 5th of April on the year 2011. Some people know that pay-per-view would not be the ending of the WWE regime, but it's not, because on April 2, 2011, Microsoft Owner and CEO, Bill Gates had bought the WWE brand and even the TNA brand. The McMahons accepted the offer even the Jarrett accepted it for 15 million dollars! TNA production decided to give one more show before they give the shares of the company to Bill Gates! Also, with the McMahons as they give their fans their last show at WrestleMania XXVII.
It doesn't mean that Bill Gates bought the WWE and the TNA, the both brands are now done with their business. But, you are wrong, because Bill Gates decided to make a Wrestling League with two different promotions or brands and that is the TNA and the WWE. Yes, the two strong and famous promotions will not shut down still as they are now handled by a new mega owner, Bill Gates! The Microsoft CEO also decided that he will have a 60 percent share on both promotions! So, the 40 percent of the share will still be on the McMahons and the Jarretts! Mr. Gates also added that he will reshuffle all the rosters in TNA and WWE right now and release some superstars from both promotions due to some budget cuts. He also planned that he will hire the veteran wrestlers and great in-ring workers like Carlito and the other guys because he wants to show the whole world that those superstars deserve a second run at the MWL.
There might be a reshuffle on the roster but, Mr. Gates said that he will be the one who will pick the superstars he wants on the two promotions! He also stated on the huge deal that Pay-Per-Views on TNA and WWE will still be used on the MWL but only the PPV who is considered as a big extravanganza like Bound for Glory, WrestleMania, etc. Mr. Gates wants to bring back some of the old WCW pay-per-views since WWE is now holding the rights of the old Wrestling Promotion. Names like Fall Brawl, Starrcade, Superbrawl and New Blood Rising will return to the pay-per-view scheme! The MWL will have 13 pay-per-views all in all, 4 PPVs from the TNA name, 4 PPVs from the old WCW name and 5 PPVs from the WWE name! The 5th pay-per-view in the WWE is the King of the Ring because Bill Gates really likes that pay-per-view because of its legendary and live quarter-finals and semi-finals matches!
Now, we go to the weekly shows and other stuffs. The deal stated that he will scrap WWE SmackDown, WWE NXT and WWE Superstars and they will have two weekly episodic shows, WWE Monday Night Raw and TNA Thursday Night Impact! Due to some low ratings of the 3 WWE Shows, he must scap it and focus on the real deal. They also decided that they will also scrap the WWE World Heavyweight Championship because of the WWE Championship as the main championship of the WWE promotion and sending the United States Championship in TNA! Now going to the booking rights and General Managers of the promotion, the two promotions still have the right to book matches and even fire superstars whenever they want. Bill Gates will focus more on the products, projects and charity works of the two promotions while the two Presidents of WWE and TNA can still hire new superstars, general managers and other stuffs. WWE President and COO, Mr. Vince McMahon decided that Mr. Theodore Long will the WWE General Manager and the head-in-charge of booking matches while the president of TNA, Ric Flair, assigned the founder of TNA, Jeff Jarrett to be the TNA General Manager.
With the Ric Flair thing, Mr. Bill Gates assigned the Nature Boy and the 16-time World Heavyweight Champion to be the new President of the TNA promotion due to some bad works of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff, they need to fire these guys for the future endeavor of the MWL. The handpicked roster of Bill Gates on the two gigantic promotions will be announced later in the evening, as well as the complete schedule of the Pay-Per-Views, Championships, In-Ring Announcer, Commentators and other wrestling stuffs tonight, before April 3, 2011 ends. Tommorrow night, at Phillips Arena, the first Monday Night Raw of the MWL will happen as it will be a 3-hour special as well as the Thursday Night Impact episode! Also, the three sides agreed that the Tag Teams will be considered as one unit, so, they can be assigned on the show handpicked by Mr. Gates together. The contract also stated that the number of superstars/tag teams/womens in the two promotions will be equal and fair.
Mr. Gates requested that he wants to reinstate Crusierweight Championship and place it on the WWE Promotion! He also scrapped the TNA Knockouts' Tag Team Championship due to low popularity to the wrestling fans and the purpose of that is in order to focus more on the Knockouts' Championship! And vacating all the current championships! As a result of this new league in wrestling, all of the current champions before the contract signing will be having a first-class number one contendership at their new promotion or same promotion they worked for. Mr. Gates wants the last champions before the contract was made to have a shot on the title to have a fair treatment to others.
We hope that a lot of wrestling fans will participate and love this new wrestling league headed by Mr. Gates and the two presidents of the promotions, Mr. McMahon and Mr. Flair.
There will be also a new twist in my new Be the Booker Thread! Everytime you will give me an opinion/review, you must rate it the show (WWE Raw and TNA Impact) from 1-10. Every end of the week, the show who will get the higher number of ratings will be considered as the dominant promotion on that said week. This will go on each and every week, and there will be some pay-per-views that will be considered as an All-Star Game which consists the top 5 stars on each promotion who will team up with each other to face and clash with each other at Survivor Series! And at the final pay-per-view of the season, WrestleMania, two of the best stars of the promotion will be handpicked by their GMs or Presidents to square off with each other in a Big Interpromotional Match! Hope you will enjoy this one!

I thought I was smart enough to be first in line to drive the 328i once it arrived here, but then Mother Nature dumped four inches of snow on my lap - and the car wouldn't launch, stop, or corner worth a darn. Curious, I stepped outside and looked at the rubber.
"Potenza," read the sidewalls.
"High-performance summer tires," said Bridgestone's Web site.
"You're screwed," I said to myself.
And, for the most part, I was - one hundred pounds of kitty litter over the rear axle did nothing to help traction, nor did BMW's traction control system - because, if the tires have no grip whatsoever, cutting the throttle back until they do hook up won't work because - well, you're simply waiting for the impossible to happen.
I could go on, but I'd simply be kvetching about the poor (no, awful) choice in rolling stock - so I won't. I will note that I wasn't all that impressed with BMW's stability program. I understand driving enthusiasts like a system that doesn't take reign of the controls in a HAL 9000 manner, but BMW offers the "dynamic traction control" setting for that kind of driving. In the basic "on" setting, the 328i still slid quite a bit before the computers played with the brakes to straighten the car.
When the roads were plowed and their surfaces dried, it was clear that the 328i is the driver's car it's made out to be - well balanced, engaging, etc. Its ergonomics are great, though I miss the angled IP of the last-generation 3-series, and my passengers often wondered why my Frozen Coke sat between their left knee and the dashboard in the cup holder that pops out of the dash. I didn't have a good answer for that, though I'll note that our Four Seasons 135i coupe has room for cupholders in the center console...
As for the power? I've never driven a 330i, but the 328i does lack the oomph of the 335i. That said, the 128i is fun because it forces you to make good use of the gearbox, and it's the same case here (thanks to the weather, I was mostly rowing it from reverse to second and back again...), though the 3's added heft does dog the I-6 a bit more.

Last Minute Question - Best/Fastest/Nearest ER to WDW
Hello everyone!
I am hours away from leaving for Walt Disney World and I have a last minute question due to an existing condition so I should be prepared! I should have been having surgery this week for a very large ovarian cyst and it was postponed due to stupid insurance stuff. I was ready to reschedule our trip but that's how things worked out. I have rented an ECV but my husband will be the primary user. I am a petite person and I've got really large cyst and about 10 kidney stones on the same side. I was walking around yesterday and I realized how much walking aggravates it. My doctor has me on very strong pain meds (Morphine) but even with that, physical excercise really sets it off and it and brings me to my knees - literally. It's too late to cancel and I'll take my painkillers and enjoy my time anyway. I'ts not life or death. In case it gets unbearable (which has happened twice now - kidney stones DON'T help), can anyone recommend/tell me what the most reasonably fast/decent/nearest ER is to Walt Disney World? We'll be staying on property and I hope it doesn't come to that. We ran a few errands yesterday and I realized the potential hassle this could become after the simple external exam from the doctor yesterday left me squirming for hours. I know there are several but I'd like recommendations for places that are humane, at least clean and fast. (I recently ended up in the ER and there were blood splatters on the wall and I can't seem to get that out of my head). I am super excited either way but I just want to be prepared. My guess would be in Celebration somewhere? No? Thank you everyone! <3

When I broke my foot at WDW the paramedics took me to the ER at Celebrations Hospital. I was happy with the treatment. It was crowded, but my injury was relatively minor and I'm sure if it was more urgent they'd have gotten me in quicker.

The closest is Florida Hospital Celebration.
The best is Orlando Regional Medical Center which is a Class I Trauma Center.

Just had surgery for my stage 4 endometriosis and the large cysts..and boy do I know your pain!
With this said...be careful On rides. You don't want to rupture that cyst or you will be in a world of hurt and you will need to go to ER. Stay up on your meds..try using an ice pack at first aid if you start to have pain and rest. Watch those lap bars and sudden stops. Have a good trip!
If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme, when you wish upon a star your dreams come true!
me on the way to DL...every time! |

I've been doing my homework ever since my first trip back in '07. Obviously experiences can and do vary depending on stuff like time of year, type of complaint/issue, medical history etc. but for me I found the amount of not that positive accounts noticable enough with regards to FHC. Where possible, I've always used facilities that offer "house calls". Have ended up needing to go down that route on more than one trip. When it is clear enough it is only the kidney stones acting up, that could be an option to consider. Last fall ended up in ORMC (in this case Dr. Philips location). Was the only option on my list for my health issues anyway, but also the go-to in the situation I was in at that moment with having a stroke. Can't say enough good things about them. Not only great care, but I won a huge jackpot by finding the critical care specialist on call had made a hobby out of being an encyclopedia on rare syndromes and diseases. Running into any doc that knows anything about my syndrome is rare already, but this specialist knew so much stuff, it is mindboggling. He was of huge importance in that first hour of care to give me the ultimate care possible. Norm is that no specialist will know all high risk and life threatening stuff to look for with me, knowing one or two is rare, but because of having this specialist on my case each and all were acutely taken hugely serious and looked into. Knowledge about the syndrome is rare, but running into health professionals that are open to the fact that they have little knowledge about it and be open to learning is like well...... about as rare as sleeping in Cindy's castle. Have to say, across the board, all specialists, RN's, therapists and what not more involved were gems. Very willing to learn and would either ask me and go running with info I gave them and/or read up on stuff asap. Normally I run into a myriad of problems but not during this stay. As soon as something would come up, it would get discussed and somehow dealt with, which can take a lot of medical creativity. I owe them (and paramedics and Disney cm's very fast and proper acting) not only my life, but they had a big deal to do in getting me through without serious damage. It was outstanding medical care, which has been reconfirmed by many specialists (incl. trauma level 1) since. But also on the interaction and communication I've had nothing but a very positive experience. Very patient focussed instead of just healthcare focussed trying to fit you into their mold. I ended up in their ER and ICU during a solotrip. Could've easily been a very scary lonely experience with family back home at the other side of the world. Nothing of the kind thanks to everybody stepping up the TLC, combined with how Disney handled this, it was an experience I almost look back on with "fond" memories when purely and solely for that part. Had to go back to the ER after discharge for medical clearance for my flight home and again nothing but positive experience and fast again. Don't know about FHC, but for ORMC you can see the current waittimes at their different ER locations on their website. With free wifi, it could pay off to make a quick surf to their website so you know what you are getting into. Link is right there on the homepage which will give you a pop up with all 4 different ER waittimes in one overview. So easy to bookmark and get current info with one click on that one link. Might be worth it to see if other options you've got on your list also offer such tools, so if you do need it you can compare and when no real preference for an option avoid those that have very long waittimes on. And to prevent to actually end up needing to use this hospital info; have you taken care of that walking yet? If walking worsens things so obviously, do yourself a huge favor and do not be stubborn wanting to walk. Get yourself a mobility aid like a wheelchair or ECV (depending on what fits you and your party best). You can do enough walking in your room and what not. Safe yourself the walking for when you HAVE to walk and don't walk any more than that. You much rather end the day finding you have ability left to walk to grab your late night resort snack after having used a mobility aid and having a ball during the day, than stubbornly insisting on walking and be in too much pain by the time it is noon. The physical at the docs; try to extract WHAT hurt you so much. This info can help you prevent pain during the trip by avoiding rides that mimic. For instance; pressure in your lower belly -> more pain. You can easily avoid rides knowing this that have a belt or bar that would push on your lower belly. Extend this to all you do and don't do know. What increases pain and what decreases it? The more you know, the better you can translate that to situations you can run into on rides, shows, name it and take your precautions to prevent pain increase or reduce your pain. With regards to reducing the pain; it's always trial and error as it is personal what works for whom, but try how stuff like warmth (heating pad for instance), cold (ice pack for instance), posture, bathing etc. influence your pain. They can be great pain reducers and can easily be used while at Disney. Posture can be how you are sitting, but also walking, standing and even how you sleep or rest. For instance, I've soon enough learned how I could manipulate pain awareness fully away for my kidney stones by a combination of posture, alternating temperature on certain points on my body and using certain brain techniques. Oh and make sure you drink plenty! Easy to drink a bit too little in Florida in those warm days, but you will want to make sure you not only dehydrate but keep your kidneys and bladder flushing enough. Good enough excuse for an extra dole whip, an extra frozen drink. If you need one.
Does it really work that way? Doors closing, windows opening, can you really allways count on that? I'll just continue to wish, hope and pray to make sure. Knock on wood, one, twice and trice. Still can't believe it, I really get to visit Mickey again..........
Always keep wishing, dreaming and hoping. Beyond greatfull for so many WDW trips, dear friendship and even a dlrp wish trip in october 2014 to close the Disney chapter. Lifes come and go, memories last for ever. |

We drove through the pink light of the police cruiser,
her broken flank blowing steam in the air.
Minutes later, a deer sprang onto the road

9 Jul 1900 American Fork July 9/00 (1900) Miss Beatrice Logie Your letter came to hand yesterday, found us well. Mother got home all safe on the night of the fourth. I had a splendid time. Staid at home all alone and minded the Estate. Didnt go over to Peats once all day. All the Bennetts went to the Lake to spend the day & see the cranks play baseball. There is not much going on here just now. This is Election day & some are voteing for a School Trustee, John E. Buckwalter is the one selected in place of J. L. Snow. It is a verry quiet affair. I went over this morning about 10 & there was no one but the three trustees & there had only been 8 votes cast. Our beloved Brown is on the ticket for county Superendendent & there is no oppertion in our city. We had a pecular meeting last night. It seems that some of our church officials want a fine new place to hold Sunday School in & they want the people to agree to build a fine large Tabernacle & have it filed up while to accommodate the Sunday School. There was a committee appointed to make inquires about what such building would cost & how long it would take to build it. Carne Robinson & Geo. Currin have had quite a hot time about where the means was to come from & weather the people would be willing to build such a place for the benefit of the Sunday School. There was some pretty hot talk on both sides of the question. Sir Charles & Lady called last Saturday & took mother & Walter to the Lake in their fine chariot. I was busy getting ready for watering & could not go. They stayed to refreshments after they returned. Laura & Bertha are anxious to hear from you. Lee Clarke has a bran new sister came from Nebraska last Tuesday. We have not heared from Nelece yet or Libey ( Elizabeth Bennett Drew). Mother says she had not seen any of the mountaineers (Alpine) yet & when any of them appear she will ask them when they will be ready to procede with that Barn. It is warm in the land thermomerter up to 105 under the poarch. I must stop for want of paper. Kind Love to Hall. Still the same, Chas Logie Esqr~ Upside down note on front page: Have you heard from the Cat Charmer I have not got any answer to my letter which I wrote some two weeks since. | |||
