This American Life went live last
Thursday, broadcasting the show in theaters across the U.S. and Australia. The show featured its standard true storytelling format, but with ample
visual components. In addition to anecdotes from David Sedaris, Tig Notaro and
others, there were also dance performances, an NPR-inspired short film from Mike
Birbiglia and an interactive performance by OK GO. If this sounds amazing (which it was) and you missed out, you're in luck! The broadcast will screen again tonight in several area theaters.

Occupy Cincinnati is hosting a primary watch party at C & D Northside from 8-11 p.m. Check out the night's results while enjoying a stiff drink — the group's Facebook invite suggests ordering a "Santorum" (though something tells me I might have to pass).

I've had a bad problem with fire ants this year getting in my pots with palms in them.They were in my 2 big Sago palm pots,so I sprinkled some ant killer around on the soil.The ants are gone but the sagos look bad now.They are covered in white spots and the end of the fronds are turning a orange color.I dont know if the ants caused this or if it was the ant killer itself.Now some of my other pots have fire ants in them,most are small rare palms.I dont want to kill them by trying to get rid of the ants.If the ant killer caused this to big 15 gal.sagos,what would it do to small palms?Is there a better way to get rid of the ants?Any suggestions?
Thanks,Randy |
Follow-Up Postings:
submerge the entire pot in water for awhile. the ants will drown and or float to the top. |
I thought about the samething.I have fire ant bites on both hands and both arms.These have got to be the fastest moving fire ants I've ever seen.The pots there in is 3gal.size.Plus the ants can swim,they huddle together in one mass and climb out of the 20gal pale.I even moved the pots to a different place after submerging them in water and they found them and are back in the pots again.Any other suggestions? |
- Posted by tropicalzone7 7 (My Page) on Mon, Jun 6, 11 at 20:50
I hear that there is some product out there were you can put a ring around a plant and the ants wont cross it so if you submerge the pots again to get rid of the ants and then use that product as a barrier, the ants will not find their way back into the pots and you should be rid of them! Fire ants seem terrible. So far I havent seen any here, but there are tons of other plants that make problems and they are also pretty difficult to get rid of! Good luck! -Alex |
another thing i have done to keep ants from climbing up the trunks of my citrus was to wrap the trunk with duct tape or another sticky tape, sticky side out. The ants wont cross it because they get stuck. you might try doing that to your pot once they are out. Just do a wide piece or they will make a bridge over it with the dead ants. other than putting those plastic bait stations and seeing if they rids them Im out of ideas. |

Sullivan thrilled with Lions move
The 21-year-old has been snapped up by the Lions after being told he was not going to be offered a new contract at the Withdean. "I'm delighted. I knew I had to get over the disappointment at Brighton quickly and this is a good move for me," he said. "I heard from Brighton they weren't keeping me and then the same day or the day after I heard from Kenny Jackett at Millwall. "The main interest came from when I played against them in my second game for Brighton. They saw me play a few more times but I didn't know anything about it until I was released by Brighton. "There was other interest but Millwall are a massive club with great ambition. I would have been stupid to have turned them down."

"Basta, basta!" The words may as well be a mantra at Midwest Grill. The term, meaning "enough" in Portuguese, is the perfect finish to the churrascaria's all-you-can-eat cavalcade of grilled meats and hearty seafood dishes. Passadores—the Brazilian word for waiters—rotate around tables, slicing fresh-grilled skewers of beef sirloin, Brazilian-style ribs, and succulent lamb and pork loin on to plates at the feaster's demand. This dining style is known as rodízio, and it doesn't just apply to churrasco meats; patrons can also opt for seafood options, such as Brazilian fish stew and sautéed shrimp, or engage a server in a duel with a carving fork. The all-you-can-eat meal is served at a fixed price at both lunch and dinner, and includes unlimited helpings from the salad bar and hot-food buffet. Each of Midwest Grill's locations also houses a TV-lined bar, where mixologists concoct cocktails and pop open bottles of Brazilian beer and wine.
The kitchen at Brodie's Pub elevates typical bar bites with quality ingredients, such as Angus steak tips and turkey tenderloins. Bowls of housemade chili and chowder whet taste buds for elaborate sandwiches, such as veggie-stuffed chicken-teriyaki pockets and the Famous Philips burger, whose housemade italian sausage has never signed an autograph. An array of beers and other drinks are available to complement any entree, from barbecued-turkey-tip salad to fried chicken wings served buffalo-style or with duck sauce.
Smoke is the barbecuer master's livelihood, but it's a delicate substance—too much and your meat tastes charred, too little and it's bland. Thankfully, Chris Thompson and Kate Economides have learned to tame the fickle ingredient. They smoke all of their meats on-site at Blackstrap BBQ, monitoring the slow-cooked pieces for hours on end. Their supply of oak wood lends a deliciously burnt tinge to brisket, sausage, chicken, and ribs, which are then rubbed with spices and arranged with down-home sides.
It can be hard to pick your meal, though, as The Boston Globe magazine attests: "Everything on the blackboard is irresistible." A classic single-meat plate comes with two sides and cornbread, but you can also pile sauce-covered bites between sandwich buns, which let you eat with your hands instead of large, unwieldy jai alai scoops. Then there's the Hog—a kielbasa wrapped in bacon, smoked, fried, and put on a roll. Most entrees come with sides, ranging from baked beans and collard greens to sweet-maple mashed potatoes.
Depending on your choice of meat, you get to sample different regional tastes. Ribs get a Memphis-style dry rub, whereas the pulled pork follows North and South Carolina traditions, and the brisket is all Texas. Kate and Chris serve these signature suppers from their Winthrop kitchen, but they also convey them to events through their catering business, Tastyplates.
According to folk etymologists, the term barbecue is derived from the French barbe coup, referring to the annual pig picking commemorating the infamous Barbers' Rebellion. Today's Groupon gets you in on the hallowed and delicious tradition: $15 for $30 worth of authentic down-home eats at Redbones. Redbones is a juicy barbecue joint in Somerville that serves wings, ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and other southern specialties.Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
At each of Oliveira's Steakhouse four locations, the crackling sizzle of roasting meat ring's out like a starter's pistol, signaling the beginning of Brazilian-style churrasco feasts. Weaving between tables, servers garbed in black shirts and scarlet neckerchiefs trot out flame-kissed chicken, pork, sausage, and rodízio steak presented upon a meat-laden short sword suitable for speedy delivery or elevating a busboy to knighthood. A salad bar supplements meaty mouthfuls with plates of leafy greens, rice, beans, and sauce-laden noodles.

The mass destruction of Indonesia's rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands for palm oil and paper threatens this and is the main reason why Indonesia is one of the world's largest emitters of climate changing greenhouse gases.
The lives of millions of Indonesians who depend on the forests for food, shelter and livelihoods are also changing beyond recognition as the forest disappears.
This destruction also threatens our wider world; peatlands are perhaps the world's most critical carbon stores, and Indonesia's peatlands are vast, storing about 35 billion tonnes of carbon. When these peatlands are drained, burned and replaced by plantations, carbon dioxide is released and the conditions are set for devastating forest fires, which were responsible, for instance, for Singapore's 'haze wave' in 2013.
For most of the last year our team has been investigating and documenting gross acts of environmental destruction in Indonesia's last remaining forests. What these investigations reveal is a story of one massive, faceless company with...
As few as 400 tigers are thought to remain in the rainforests of Sumatra, which are vanishing at a staggering rate – a quarter of a million hectares every year. Expansion of oil palm and pulpwood plantations was responsible for nearly two-thirds...
Oil palm plantations are the largest driver of deforestation in Indonesia.
The fires are back. This last weekend, fire hotspots were again identified in Riau province in Sumatra, Indonesia, just weeks after Sumatran forest fires engulfed the region as far as Thailand in a choking haze. But the palm...

I agree with you completely even if the big real problem is to understand whether it is appropriate that a company invests in digital social market.
We need to find the right information and KPI to lead to a better decision ( to be or not to be social) and after we can define the right strategy.
The mistake was seeking a new paradigm, a trend or a slogan, focusing on the process strategy and on the tools and forgetting that the real value was adapting and extending already established process.

Hi Alex, good job.
In my opinion it is important to know your customers at best. The more you know about your customers, the more likely it is they'll be return. The Customer Service will have a strong customer relationships if you know everything about users BEFORE they call.
Profile data is not only age and location, but it involves also occupation, hobbies and so on; knowing that, it may be possible to link even very different people, for example a young boy and a middle-aged mum, based on what they like both.
The data are always changing: location, employer, hobbies, age...... not to confuse young customers with older customers.
Even a change in income can affect what kind of customer service you give someone; for example, a returning customer with economic trouble can be supported with deep discounts during this times to remain a loyal customer....
The Customer Intelligence is evolving in Social Customer Intelligence. Some solutions are coming from the Identity Mapping of Social Customer, that optimize and integrate the information of traditional CRM to support better the Customer Service.

40 Years Ago: Jethro Tull Respond to Critics and Strip Off the Excess
Jethro Tull's seventh album, 1974's 'War Child,' was born during a particularly awkward transitional period.
Even if their long career stalled at the start of the '70s, Jethro Tull would still go down in rock history for one crucial thing: They proved that the flute could be a killer rock 'n' roll instrument. Frontman Ian Anderson has wielded the instrument – a favorite among middle-school-band girls and wandering minstrels for almost a thousand years – like a madman onstage, aggressively blowing solos usually reserved for guitars or saxophones. But paired with the band's era-spanning brand of prog-folk music – expertly displayed on 1971's breakthrough 'Aqualung' album – the flute has become a weapon of mass destruction in Anderson's hands. Despite the many lineup changes the band has gone through over the years, Jethro Tull's records have rarely diverted from their ambitious paths. The group infamously won the first-ever Hard Rock/Metal Grammy in 1989, which isn't as farfetched as detractors claim.
Jethro Tull's seventh album, 1974's 'War Child,' was born during a particularly awkward transitional period.
Jethro Tull's 12th studio album concludes with 'Elegy,' a quiet instrumental of pastoral acoustic guitar and melancholy strings. The title is appropriate.
Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull concept albums battle it out in this week's Clash of the Titans.
We review the new DVD by Ian Anderson, which brings together a live performance of Jethro Tull's 'Thick as a Brick' and its 2012 sequel.
Cornick played on Jethro Tull's first three albums. He was 67.
Ian Anderson began to assert himself on 'Stand Up,' and Jethro Tull as we know it was born.
Jethro Tull have released a re-mastered and expanded edition of their 1973 album, 'A Passion Play.'
This 2-CD/2-DVD package offers Steven Wilson stereo mixes of Tull's original 1973 album.
Ian Anderson will release a live set that includes both Jethro Tull's 'Thick as a Brick' and its 2012 sequel.
If so, Tull frontman Ian Anderson says he holds no ill will, calling it "a kind of tribute."

HeartMath research has demonstrated that different emotional states create different patterns of heart rhythm activity. The various emotions we experience have distinct effects on cognitive and emotional function. When we're stressed and feeling negative emotions, the heart rhythm pattern is erratic and disordered. This inhibits higher cognitive functions, limiting our ability to think clearly, remember, learn, reason and make effective decisions. Conversely, when we learn to consciously generate increased heart rhythm coherence through feeling and sustaining positive emotions, it not only benefits the entire body, but also profoundly affects how we perceive, think, feel and perform.
With emWave Desktop you can store and track your progress over time and review previously recorded sessions. The program includes three colorful, interactive games designed to train you to create a positive emotional shift and learn to transform stress into creative energy. Another feature of emWave Desktop is its Emotion Visualizer® which provides stunning images that emit varying degrees of color and movement as you adjust your emotional state.
"We're all about making people's lives less stressful. In today's times many of our customers have their entire family involved in using the emWave technologies. emWave Desktop gives people the added flexibility of choosing one product that will work for any platform," says Catherine Calarco.

Developer- and Publisher-specific Articles: Stardock
Galactic Civilizations III enters beta, joins Steam Early Access
Galactic Civilizations III has officially entered beta. As it makes the transition to a new phase of development, Stardock has decided to launch the game on Steam as part of its Early Access program while also lowering the price by five bucks to $44.99. The version available now features sandbox mode and online multiplayer, a first for the series, while diplomacy, revamped ship combat, and trade are planned to go live "in the coming months." A few of the improvements since the alpha include enhancements to the ship designer and the shipyard being moved off-world to allow for colonies to pool resources.
Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes gets 'Adversaries' update
Stardock has released a new update titled Adversaries for Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes. Version 1.7 adds class-specific items for all hero types as well as improvements for AI (now upgrades outposts, more inclined to declare war), economy balancing (towns provide more money per turn, harbors cheaper to construct), pathfinding (fixed rive-navigation bug), and more. The full change log can be found here.
Galactic Civilizations III now on Steam Early Access for elite founders
The galaxy awaits a ruler, and gamers who have ponied up to pre-order the premium version of Galactic Civilizations III can begin their bid for power in the alpha version through Steam Early Access. The build is only accessible for Founder's Elite Edition owners, which will also net them all upcoming downloadable packs and expansions. The final version of the 4X galaxy-conquering strategy title isn't due out until next year, but for now, early adopters will be able to play against the AI and others online, try out the new ideology system, and attempt to manipulate the markets in the new economic system.
New concept art, screenshots released from Galactic Civilizations III
The first round of screenshots as well as additional concept art from Stardock's upcoming 4X strategy title Galactic Civilizations III have been revealed. The upcoming entry will be exclusive to 64-bit PCs and add, among other modes and features, an overhauled ship builder, new resource systems, and a new race, the Iridium. The quad-eyed newcomers, and their various forms, are pictured in the art below.
Stardock acquires rights to Star Control, development to begin soon
Stardock has acquired the rights to the seminal action-strategy classic Star Control. The studio is planning on beginning development on a new version for PC this year, with the intention of rebooting the series. According to Stardock president and CEO Brad Wardell, the development team expects their iteration to be "similar to what Firaxis did with the XCOM series last year." Wardell also stated that Star Control II is being looked at "as a major source of inspiration."
(PC Review) Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes
"… a good game that is a patch away from being a great one."
Fallen Enchantress – Legendary Heroes now available online
Elemental: Fallen Enchantress' new standalone expansion Legendary Heroes has launched on Steam and other digital outlets. The $39.99 add-on, $19.99 for owners of Elemental, updates all aspects of the original design, with new features, tweaked unit stats, and an overhauled championship system with static hero placement. A new developer diary has launched to better explain what players can expect.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion rises up, launches online
Ironclad Games' 2008 hybrid RT4X—real-time, 4X strategy game—Sins of a Solar Empire received a new standalone expansion today, Rebellion. After years of war, the Trader Emergency Coalition, Vasari Empire, and Advent Unity have succumbed to the stress of their galaxy-spanning campaigns and fractured into loyalist and rebel factions. Players will be able to take control of one of these six subfactions as they research new technologies, forge new alliances, and construct new ships, including the monstrous Titan class.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion dated for June, Beta 2 now live
It's been a long time since I've sent my vast armadas to crush the enemies of the Unfortunately Named Website Empire. And it seems there has been an uprising in my absence! Ingrates! Fortunately, Stardock and Ironclad's Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion will be available on June 12 for me to deliver my glorious retribution.
Elemental: Fallen Enchantress progress report, Beta 2 detailed
Stardock has released some new screens and info on the second beta of their upcoming turn-based strategy title Elemental: Fallen Enchantress. Set to launch later this year, Fallen Enchantress looks to set the Elemental universe back in balance after a rocky start in 2010. The update includes information on changes being implement since the first beta, including tweaks to pacing, AI, magic, and balancing.

After an incredible non-conference that earned them a number 5 national ranking the Cal Poly baseball team started Big West play with a 7 run first inning and 8-0 win at home against UC-Davis. The Mustangs improve to 21-4 overall and 1-0 in conference play. The Aggies fall to 12-10
Cal Poly had 12 at-bats in the first inning while scoring 7 runs on 6 hits and 3 walks. The Mustangs added another run on a rare play in the 4th. Brian Mundell flew out to the wall in centerfield and Jordan Ellis was able to tag-up and score from second base.
Starting pitcher Matt Imhof took care of the rest, the staff ace pitched a complete game shutout. Imhof struck out 13 Aggie batters to recapture the national lead in the category. He entered one strikeout behind Brandon Finnegan from TCU but Finnegan only had 8 strikeouts on Friday night. Imhof gave up 4 hits and no walks. The only trouble he faced was when UC Davis got runners to second and third with one out in the 4th but Imhof struck out the next two batters to get out of the jam.
Cal Poly had 8 hits including a 2 for 3 game from sophomore second baseman Mark Mathias. Mathias extended his hitting streak to 15 games with an RBI double in the first inning. Ellis was 2 for 5 with an RBI.
The Mustangs and Aggies will play again on Saturday at 1:00pm. The game at Baggett Stadium was orginally scheduled for 6:00 but was pushed up because of expected rain on Saturday night. The teams will finish the series on Sunday at 1:00pm.

Here's some flavor of what's to come
Ice Coffee
Been keeping it quiet about the releases recently – we're getting closer to them now (on Redefinition Records).
LP is done, EP is done, and we're waiting for the artist (a dope artist, Joe Buck, who's been doing stuff for De La Soul, for example) to work on the LP art. They're coming.
Here's a cool, simple beat for a hot day. Drink that coffee, hot or not.
For more flavor, peep the Soundcloud. And for random shit, I'm keeping it busy on Instagram.
Shouts to a company called Sugar Bytes for hooking me up with a plugin called "Effectrix". Been test-driving it today. Basically, it's a 32-step effect step sequencer. Good for some good old fun! Here I'm playing one bar without it, one bar with it, etc, switching to another pattern on the fly. Peep it!
FatGyver break processing # 1
FatGyver break processing. The whole chain: UAD Pultec, apQualizer, Slate Digital Virtual Tape Machine, UAD Pultec, OhmForce Predatohm (parallel), UAD CS-1, Slate Digital Virtual Buss Compressor. Shoutouts to breaks aficionados
Drum Lesson # 1
Working on some breaks just like every day. Some FatGyver custom breaks might come out at some point.
"Recording Hybrid Kit" by Drumdrops. The whole chain: Drum kit, Slate's Virtual Console Channel, Universal Audio's Pultec EQ + 1176 comp (parallel comp), OhmForce's PredatOHM (parallel processing), Slate's Virtual Tape + Virtual Buss Compressor, another Pultec and another Virtual Tape.
Finished an EP worth of material
Phew. Been buried under work for a long time. Finally made it out of there and finished an EP worth of material, hoping it'll see the light of the day in a way or another one day. Here's a real quick Insta-snippet.
New studio set up
Got a nice package from Redef.
The album, "Talk To Strangers", will be coming out on Redef in a few months. There's a few new plans regarding it we want to wrap up but then it'll be good to go.
So, watch this space.
Cam + Insta test
Another spinning percolator! Actually, just another camera test (Canon 550D). Totally free handing, shaking like heck – just trying out the zoom. Beat on the background is Fatgyver's "Blacula Beat".
Album teaser video
I'm stoked to say that the debut album will be coming out on Redefinition Records.
Can't put into words how honored I am to be getting my instrumental hip hop debut out on one of my favourite labels. Redefinition Records is an indie hip-hop label based out of New Jersey & Washington, DC. It's all killers, no fillers, presenting the dopest in hip hop. Especially Damu The Fudgemunk's works have been inspiring my hip-hop-ism to a great extent.
We'll be having more release news for you shortly, so stay tuned!

A man who police believe led them on a wild chase last week and barricaded himself in his Gilbert home has not been arrested, and neighbors worried about their safety are wondering why.
More than a dozen Gilbert officers staked out Thomas Grade's home, 818 E. Juanita Ave., near Lindsay Road and Houston Avenue, on June 13 after a sport utility vehicle parked in the driveway led officers on a chase through Mesa and Gilbert.
Grade, 57, who refused to answer the door for several hours while police knocked, eventually came out and spoke with officers. But he was questioned for only a short period, and he was not arrested.
Kim Kemper, who lives down the street, said she doesn't understand why.
"He's a threat, and you would think they would hold him accountable for his actions," she said. "We have young children around, and who knows what will happen next. It's like they didn't do anything."
But Gilbert Sgt. Mark Marino said police are still trying to determine if Grade was the driver of the vehicle.
Officers began pursuing the SUV on U.S. 60 after it smashed into a car and sped away.
The driver was going faster than 100 mph and ran a police car off the road at Melody Drive, forcing it into a block wall, police said.
The driver also ran over traffic signs and nearly hit a child, police said.
The SUV parked in Grade's driveway had considerable damage to the front end, and the back bumper was ripped off. Neighbors said that after police left the house, Grade was removing things from the vehicle.
Reports about the incident requested by the Tribune haven't been released. But a records check revealed that Grade has an extensive history with Gilbert police.
He was arrested in January last year on suspicion of domestic violence, and officers have responded to his address 14 times since 2005, police said.
Grade has owned the house since 2003, county assessor records show.

Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855
mschmal Posts: 1,757Provides no benefit vs traction control when driving in a straight line.
The difference between stability control and traction control is that the former has a yaw sensor that measures cornering forces.
If the registered yaw does not equal predicted yaw, then the car recognizes an oversteer/understeer event and applies the appropriate wheel's brake and/or reduces throttle to compensate.
Advance Trac will be on the 2009 Milan.
Mark. -
akirby Posts: 7,757Redundancy is quite affordable - dirt cheap, actually, when you consider the Fusion already did all the engineering work. Just think of the Milan as another trim package. Mercury exists right now to supply Lincoln dealers with lower end products to sell. There seems to be a concerted effort to merge the Lincoln/Mercury and Ford dealers and if that happens then the Lincoln dealer wouldn't need Ford clones anymore and could afford to make a few unique vehicles.
microrepair Eastern MassachusettsPosts: 508I've had both rear wheels on hard packed snow and ice and it might take a few seconds but so long as the car isn't pointed up a steep grade, it will gradually move. The traction control is very sensitive and even ice has "some" friction.. If it didn't you wouldn't even be able to walk on ice.
Not even 4-wheel drive will allow you to drive on snow and ice as if you are competing in the SummerNationals drag races.. Ya gotta take it slow and easy..
microrepair Eastern MassachusettsPosts: 508The Mazda heritage has a lot to do with that..!
I had an MX-6 in the 90's and it was AWESOME... Reliable, comfortable, economical, and ZOOM, ZOOM ! Then for a while all their cars were too small for me..! Now they are making some slightly larger vehicles again and Fusion/Milan are slightly larger than the Mazda6.. Good news for me...
theman123 Posts: 170I can't Believe Import Trend said something nice about the fusion. So what do you all think of this ? I wonder if they have a kit for the 4 cylinder.
Steeda Ford Fusion -
scape2 Posts: 4,119is also in this months Motor Trend! Great article. There is a guy on my daughters soccer team that did much of the same to a Milan premier V6. He does mods to cars/trucks for a living and has been doing this for over 25 years. the Milan was definitly quicker. I want to post this article in the midsize sedan room to show the non-blievers. I was ridiculed and laughed at by the Toyota/Honda fans. :mad:
scape2 Posts: 4,119Ford has already started to pull out of its nose dive. With the excellent JD powers ratings, the Fusion/Milan continue to do well. The revamped Taurus. Ford is not dead. As much as the media like people to believe. Ford is doing well in Europe and Asia. Granted, I do think Ford forgot its North American market over the last 15 years or so. The Blue Oval will survive. It is going to be a different company however in the coming years. Leaner, meaner and profitable.
jaxs1 Posts: 2,697The revamped Taurus not going to do anything. The improvements for 2008 are too late and partially negated by taking the styling from bad to worse with the "revamping."
Fusion seems mostly OK. It would be better if it had top of the class fuel economy and it will be 2009 before it gets stability control.
People look at fuel economy much more nowadays and with the Fusion, the best you can say about gas mileage is that the V6 mileage estimates are not that much worse than the 4 cylinder, so you might as well just get the V6 and use a bit more gas since neither does that great mpg wise.
Maybe a hybrid Fusion with stability control, factory rebates and tax credits to offset the cost will be the car to buy in 2009 if they find a way to install the hybrid battery other than using half the usable trunk space like the Camry and Altima hybrids. -

scape2 Posts: 4,119Styling is purely subjective. Styling is also one aspect of a vehicle. The Taurus is rated all 5 star for safety, has a very good and reliable power train, comes in AWD too. Interior is very well laid out and materials are nice quality. I feel sales will pick up with the new 3.5 along with the face lift. As we know the Taurus is a renamed 500. The 500 is a solid and well build vehicle. Name recognition is what this car needed.

walterquint Posts: 89Has this article been brought up?
(I don't think I'm breaking forum guidelines by citing the link.)
In a nutshell, the article notes that the Fusion had a dismal sales month in June (12,435) and rather hints that the car is a semi-flop (but not an outright failure).
Now, I don't own a Fusion. But were I in the market for a new car, a Fusion is the FIRST car I'd buy. It's solid, well-built, gorgeous styling, roomy, etc etc. And it has a great price.
Why are so many quick to malign this car?? :confuse: -
makigrl Posts: 19With mercury they should bring back to cougar as a rwd sporty coupe that the american car companies have dumped over the past years. They need to give mercury an identity like sporty or luxurious. A mercury is not a Lincoln but should be more luxurious than a Ford. The fusion has a trip computer standard on higher end model that milan doesn't. Milan just has a few added features like the aluminum trim and wood trim are standard. Is the wood trim even real.
Ford takes the mercury version and just makes a few enhances not greatly separating it or giving it a different identity. I would look at the used car lists and they 1996-2000 sable was more upscale and considerably different that the tarus.
Now most of the mercurys are just a little bit different that the same ford models but mostly the same. -
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855The article says: With the Fusion, Ford is too closely copying a Camry.
Uhh...how exactly is it copying a Camry???
Did Ford expect or plan to sell 300,000 Fusions per year? Are they even capable of producing that many? I don't think so.
It isn't about the number of units it is about whether a profit is being made. I don't know how many units they need to sell to generate adequate profits and I am certain the writer of the article has no clue either.

Boring ability but if you can last hit a lot, you'll be able to gear out faster which makes the game less boring for you. It's fine imho.
Never mind seems like u guys arent open to any suggestions :| go back to dota or HoN i dunno never mind . . .

if she got a healing debuff ability, it would need another component because there are so few cases where healing actually happens.
Just put points in last, you'll be farming like crazy w/ volley and your Infinity edge at this point. You kill 5 creeps a wave (should be easy) and you got 25 extra gold. Thats a good amount. She dosent need another attack skill, shes a beginner player, meaning easy to use. + Attack speed would be too much... you'd take people down too fast. Go crit dmg runes (50%) and w/ infin edge you'll crit for 500 late mid game. Add black cleaver and phantom and its game over. I get 800 crits w/ her most games.
As to why this guy thinks ashe needs a buff i have no idea, maybe he just sucks with her lol.
yea thats why i came up with 3 options for different abilitys for her because riot has stated that they dont like her bounty because it is boring and unimaginative -- if healing debuff doesnt work for you guys, a silence of some slight kind would make her really amazing -- or i think a physical shield would be cool on her as well -- but both of those options could prove to be op seeing as she already is quite amazing and goldentiger -- i am coming up with new ideas while you are not - so i dont know what you are talking about being closed minded... at least come up with some sort of alternative to the ability or critic other peoples ideas on the subject

text:
The net effect, though, depends on her subject. Vladimir Nabokov is at once insistent and peripatetic, another mood that Gilliatt conveys with ease. When she spends time with Nabokov, the resulting piece is unsettled, a rattling chain of details that complement the author's cranky, somewhat florid, personality. The on-set moments with Buñuel capture both the director's meditative air and the flurry of activity around the shoot. She is more neutral when profiling Henri Langlois, the director of the Cinémathèque Française, a figure she admires but whose life's work—obsessively collecting, preserving, and archiving film—depends on a kind of forthright wonder that Gilliatt can observe but never quite muster herself. Gilliatt worked best with characters whom she might have created on her own; characters who came from the world she inhabited, and thus could sufficiently understand. These are the limits of a journalism based on the author's imagination.
The 30-some pages devoted to Woody Allen and Diane Keaton show what happens when Gilliatt is miles out of her comfort zone. Gilliatt just doesn't get Allen. She certainly tries; you can practically feel her working. She lunges, stabs, and, on the whole, ends up with a far more concrete portrait than usual. In "Guilty, with an Explanation: Woody Allen," the deductive powers that served her so well with Godard yield claptrap, the sort of thing Allen would have spoofed in Love and Death—which, incidentally, she loves for its engagement with Big Questions, rather than realizing the movie is about making a mockery of these questions to begin with. Allen struggles with pigeons, complains about kitchen gadgets, and keeps up his French lessons even though he doesn't have time for them. Somehow, Gilliatt fails to make these details comes across as true to Allen's character. Most notably, despite Allen's quip that he sees himself "as a Jewish uncle at some event," Gilliatt fails to pick up on this most essential quality of a man who, until fairly recently, based his entire career on reclaiming and subverting Jewish stereotypes. Maybe Gilliatt is just being decorous, but it's hard not to feel embarrassed for her when she remarks that, "The nose strikes him as a particularly doubtful feature, hovering always on the edge of farce, and possibly more acceptable when flattened out by a steamroller into a large piece of leather, as it is in 'Sleeper,'" and fails to follow it up with anything about Allen's self-hating-Jew shtick. A Woody Allen who hates his nose without yielding a punchline is unrecognizable.
What makes the Woody Allen blind spot so remarkable is that "Her Own Best Disputant: Diane Keaton" is perhaps the sharpest read of all. Keaton, along with Jeanne Moreau and Lina Wertmuller, is one of only three women addressed in the collection. Gilliatt's appreciation for Keaton is genuine and unaffected in a way that little else in Three-Quarter Face is. And even if Gilliatt doesn't go out of her way to spotlight women, she seems to realize that Keaton, unlike the others, needs her help to be taken seriously: "Her prodigious comic gifts are sometimes hidden. She tends to hoard these gifts, as if she were an impostor guest at a banquet tucking away food for friends under the challenging eyes of a portly butler, or as if her talent might run out in some world energy crisis." Gilliatt also lets Keaton speak for herself more than almost any other subject in Three-Quarter Face, as if to counteract the Annie Hall-derived idea of her as a ditz. It's the lone piece in Three-Quarter Face that resembles advocacy, and one wonders if Gilliatt's foray in American popular cinema is intended as some sort of rescue mission.

Aveng's bond depresses share price
Comment on this storyJohannesburg - Shares of Aveng are on the ropes on the threat of dilution after the construction company launched a 1.5 billion rand convertible bond, with an upsize option of another 500 million rand.
The bonds expected to carry a 6.75 and 7.5 percent annual coupon will mature in 2019.
Aveng has a free float of more than 416 million shares and a market value of nearly $915 million.
The proceeds will be spent on repaying some existing loans, extending its debt profile and for general corporate purposes, Aveng says.
Its shares are down nearly 6 percent at 22.10 rand, making it the biggest loser on the Johannesburg bourse. - Reuters

Hey guys I was just wondering what I should do for this years hot pepper growing. I have a decent sized garden in my backyard that I was thinking about transplanting my seedlings into. My goal is to make them as productive as I can meaning I want high yields. My question is do you think peppers do a lot better in ground or in containers? I've heard a lot of good things about container gardening and I was wondering if I should maybe just put them all in containers in the garden or do half and half? |

In zone 4, the ground may not be warm enough for the time you would need for the plants to get very large. You could build raised beds in the garden that might help or build mounds and cover with black plastic/tarp garden material. Just my opinion, maybe someone in zone 4 will chime in who has experience with planting in ground. I am a big fan of growing in pots even though I am in zone 7. Keep us updated on what you choose to do, and how the plants do. Mark |

- Posted by TomT226 8 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Mar 23, 14 at 6:20
I can't really speak to the zone you're in, but in my experience, I get orders of magnitude better production from ground planting...as long as storms don't shred the plants. Pots down here get dry QUICK, and have to be watered every day for mature plants. I guess it's time for a test at your place this season, then you can tell for sure. |
- Posted by pepperdave none7 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 23, 14 at 8:10
I would do pots. You could try some in the ground but try a Naga that takes 90 days instead of 120 . It would be ashamed to loose a plant load of green peppers to a frost with no way to bring them inside for the night. People pull things off all the time that supposedly cant be done Worth a try. A 90 day Naga might do fine if plant out. Be prepared to cover it at night when your first frost comes. Here in NJ I get a few peppers in Aug. but not until Sep. & Oct.do I get massive amounts of ripe peppers. Im sure that's well past your first frost. Give your garden a try . If anything else it will be a learning experience and if you have the rest in pots you can still get a good harvest. Good Luck |
I have planted all of my peppers in containers. The jalapenos I grew last couple of years have great flavor but not hot ...so someone told me to use sand. You mean like sand from the beach? I used miracle gro and peat moss mixed. |
- Posted by MorugaMan 4 (email@example.com) on Sun, Mar 23, 14 at 10:06
Great info guys. I will for sure take the advice and do both. Then I can see for myself the advantages and disadvantages. I'm assuming zone 4 has one of the shortest grow seasons so I'm going to have to try to do my best at getting everything done early. Has anyone had luck with those plastic tarp cover things that help from frost? I seen them at Menards and was curious if they help at all? |
Another consideration is the quality of the dirt at your place. It's a lot easier to fill a container than to amend a whole garden full of mediocre dirt. Dennis |
- Posted by MorugaMan 4 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Mar 23, 14 at 18:48
Very true Dennis. I was told minnesota and Iowa have some of the richest soil in the states so I'm guess it's not too bad? |
I have to believe that container is better, b/c I don't have garden space and I will have to use pots. :) But seriously, garden is better. It needs less work and plants would like it there better. |
Yeah, all else being equal I'd go in-ground. But Zone 4? That's tough with peppers. You won't even start seeing your crop until it's time to go home. Dennis |
- Posted by smokemaster_2007 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 23, 14 at 22:24
I think it greatly depends on the variety you are growing AND pot size. Manzano's do crappy in less than a 20-30 gal.(true gallons-not a #? pot). I've seen Jalapenos on the other hand do great in #15 pots(7 1.2gal.). Depending on your idea of what is too much work,pots need more attention if you live in a dryer/warmer climate. With pots you can Totally control nutes etc. If I could,I'd personally grow in raised beds if I had to tend the garden by hand. Looks like your zone won't grow a lot of peppers even if you start them early... I'd say in general,pots are easier than starting out building up your soil for both raised beds and in ground grows. In your zone,IF you have the room indoors,I'd start Annuums and Frutescens a couple months early,double that time for everything else and hope for an early spring and late winter. I've grown in elevations from 2000ft to 8500ft altitude. I also don't know where your grow is,Bug problems OR bug and critter problems. A rabbit with the munchies can clear out a gardens worth of plants fast.They tend to not like jumping onto pots(#15),though a few do. Boils down to us giving you info to check out,then decide what might work for your grow. Good luck with your grow. |

I'm in zone 5 and have miserable results with pepper plants that go in the ground, but have had good to excellent results with 5 gallon (4.? actually) pots parked on my concrete driveway. |

Smokemaster- that's a lot of information! I appreciate the help. It sure is a bummer to know that I have such a short season but I'll try to do what I can with it. I'll most likely do lots of pots and a raised bed. I started most of my seeds awhile ago so I'll pray I can grow them to maturity in time. |
Most peppers are edible event not mature. This is more true about sweet and mild peppers. The hot peppers will also have more than enough heat , regardless of the color. Those that starting to change color at the end of season, you can uproot them and hang upside down in garage or somewhere. Most of them will get full color. Or, if they are in container, you can bring the smaller ones inside and let them ripen up their fruits normally. |
- Posted by MorugaMan 4 (email@example.com) on Mon, Mar 24, 14 at 15:39
Seysonn- If I were to bring them inside to mature without uprooting, do I still want to water it and provide enough light still? Or do I just let it go and die off? |
MorugaMan, I have no experience on that issue. But I know that uprooting works. Maybe not 100% of the green fruits will turn red but most will if they were close to maturity. I have seen a lot of store bough green peppers like SERRANO turn red on the kitchen counter, if left there for a week or so. About Container ... |
hot pepper will doing well on container. things that u must consider is : - hot pepper needs a lot of lights even if they've just germinated, and full sunlight when they're strong enough. - hot pepper doesn't like wet feed, they love moist soil but damp soil will invite a lot of deseases. - hot pepper grow best at hot climate, they will not produce a lot of fruit when the temperature is too cold. (they grow best at 16-20 C at the night and 26-40 C at the noon). |
- Posted by pepperdave none7 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 25, 14 at 7:15
MorugaMan You were talking about building a greenhouse. If you grow your plants in pots outside, take the summer to build build it and just move them in come bad weather you might find you do as well as someone in zone 7 or 8. Using supplemental light to increase light hrs it might be possible to harvest peppers right up to Xmas. Just dont overfill it and you might do real good. From what I understand it harder to get fruit set indoors but any on the plant before you bring it in should ripen just fine. I really dont see peppers being as hot hanging a plant up and letting them ripen that way. If you dig up a plant in the ground Im sure you can get it to live but its liable to drop all its fruit . |
Yeah, bringing in a potted plant with fruit will let the fruit ripen just fine. They're not even picky about environment, putting up with much less light and temps down to 50F or so. (Just be sure you don't start over-watering since the need for H2O will be substantially decreased.) I brought in about 16 plants last year and got no unusual fruit drop. Harvested through January. Dennis |

IF you have the room,I've seen a LOT of growers pull their plants up the first day before a frost. They hang them in their garages or wherever,roots up to let the pods mature a week or more. Some say wrap the roots with paper towel or rags soaked in a weak fert. solution. They say that the ferts. keep the plant alive AND the stressed also makes for hotter pods. I never did it,don't know from experience. Either way it seems it might make a difference in getting 10 ripe pods or 50 from a plant. Depending on variety,green pods CAN be useless(tasteless or green like bells). |

Why Dating Is More Difficult For Men
In the 21st century, women's equality continues to thrive, permeating all aspects of society and industry. However, there is one area where women consistently have more power over men: the dating marketplace.
In the dating marketplace, women have a distinct advantage over men because of gender. The demands women face are not commensurate to the extensive requirements placed upon men. Consequently, dating is not an equal playing field.
If you're a woman in the dating marketplace, all you have to do is show up. That's it ladies, that's all you have to do; your presence is the prerequisite. Women are naturally alluring. The female mystique is intriguing and intoxicating. Regardless of beauty, bank account, dress size or shape, men love gazing at women while basking in their femininity. In fact, regardless of sexual orientation, women love looking at other women. Moreover, you could survey every woman in America and they would tell you the same thing: not only do they dress to impress men they dress to impress other women.
If you're a man in the dating marketplace, the pressures and expectations are double that of a woman's to make a first and lasting impression. The dating and relationship requirements placed upon men are staggering. Try placing yourself in a man's mind and body for a moment. Take into account the demands he feels inside and outside of the dating marketplace.
If you dissect the evidence, men have greater difficulty than women forging through our dating society and should be given some latitude. For those of you who think I am being too lenient on men, I will provide you with substantial proof to support my theory.
There are pervasive stereotypes of American men. Here's the short list: men are expected to be brave, men are expected to be confident, men are expected to succeed, men are expected to be dependable, men are expected to be proactive, and men are expected to be providers. Additionally, men are not allowed to flounder, men are not allowed to be vulnerable, men are not allowed to be weak, and men are not allowed to be overtly emotional.
Men also have to contend with these cultural clichés: "Grow a pair," "Take your balls out of your purse," and the ubiquitous, "Man Up." Interestingly enough, the female equivalents to this vernacular are nonexistent. Imagine a woman saying to another woman, "Take your breasts out of your briefcase" or "Woman Up." I didn't think so.
Let's take these expectations of men and add the demands of dating and relationships to the mix. In the dating marketplace, men are expected to be: bold, smart, funny, accomplished, charming, chivalrous, complimentary, and romantic. In conjunction with these attributes, men are expected to look stylish, have dynamic personalities, have great jobs and fabulous friends, pay for the check, read women's minds, AND rock a woman's world in bed. In fact, let's add proficiency with post-coital cuddling to a man's "good on paper" list while we're at it.

Notre Dame beat Michigan 13-6 in Ann Arbor last season."We are fortunate to have unbelievable rivalry games at Michigan," said Hoke. "The Notre Dame game, that rivalry, which they're chickening out of. They're still going to play Michigan State, they're going to play Purdue, but they don't want to play Michigan. I don't know how they made that decision."Below is Hoke commenting in a video made available from coachingsearch.com. Promoted Stories Comments
