Like nearly all Americans, your home is probably filled with electronic equipment which you depend upon for many of your daily needs. And these appliances can prove to be costly to repair or replace if they get damaged. A common way in which electronic equipment gets broken or damaged says Static Electrics is through power cycling, for example, power surges, interruptions or sags.
Many things can cause a power surge, such as short circuits, lightning strikes, and even poles being knocked over by accidents. In these instances the voltage can suddenly jump as high as thousands of volts for a second. This "surge" can damage or destroy your appliances. Your appliances have the ability to endure minor fluctuations but a surge like that can cause severe damage and even sometimes start a fire. This power cycling can't be prevented, but you can protect your appliances. Here's what to do:
Electrical Lines Properly Grounded
The first thing you should do is contact a certified electrician like Static Electrics to stop by and check to see if your cable television, telephone and utility service lines are correctly grounded. If they aren't grounded then instruct the electrician to ground them. If your electrical lines are not grounded, virtually any electrical disruptions are going to result in power cycling and damaged electronics. While you don't need a commercial electrician, only a certified electrician should be the one to check your power lines and find out if they are grounded or not.
Surge Protector
Unplug your big electronics, meaning your computer, stereo and television. Plug a surge protector into an electrical outlet near all these appliances. Plug your major electronics into the surge protector. If there is a "surge" of electrical energy, your surge protector will take the fall instead of your appliances. Even a commercial electrician recommends these. And it cannot be stressed enough how important they are. Not only can they save you a bundle in having to replace or repair damaged appliances, but they can help to prevent fires too. Don't put it off another minute. If you don't have a surge protector for your appliances, then go and buy one right now. You won't regret it.
Uninterrupted Power Supply
Unplug your computer and modem, and then plug your UPS (uninterrupted power supply) into an outlet next to your computer. Next plug your computer and modem into the UPS. If your UPS also comes with software for your computer that gives instructions on how to safely shut down the computer during a power cycling event, now is the time to install the software onto your computer. In a few hours your UPS will be charged up.
Remember to always unplug all of your major electrical appliances during a thunderstorm or a power outage. Lightning can completely destroy electronic appliances even if it doesn't directly hit your home. Lightning strikes that hit power lines can send a mighty surge of electricity down the wires and right into your appliances. By unplugging them you can be sure your electrical appliances will not sustain damage should a power cycling event occur.
Biography: Jake Hyten worked for Staticelectricsbrisbane.com.au as a Static Commercial Electrician for a total of ten years and is considered an expert who has written various articles on Electrical repair, Appliance repair, etc.

Also, this study does not address the diet of the babies, Lawrence said. Although vitamin D is in both breast milk and infant formula, cholesterol and the amino acid taurine are only found in breast milk and also affect brain development after birth, she added.
Lawrence advises pregnant women get a dietary consultation in their first trimester and consider vitamin D supplementation. "We have realized that vitamin D has a lot more impact than to prevent rickets," she said.
Vitamin D may have additional benefits for mothers-to-be. Other research conducted by Hollis and his team found that pregnant women taking vitamin D could lower their risk of pregnancy-related diabetes and high blood pressure.
Early studies suggesting that high levels of vitamin D could lead to birth defects were bogus, Hollis said.
Women can receive up to 50,000 units a day before worrying about having too much vitamin D, Hollis said. Excessive vitamin D can lead to spikes in blood levels of calcium, which can, in turn, lead to kidney and nerve damage and abnormal heart rhythm.
More information
To learn more about vitamin D, visit the Office of Dietary Supplements at the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

I don't get why companies insist on trying to make gaming tablets, sure they might be fine for angrybirds, but I think you'd be hardpressed to find any hardcore gamer looking to buy a tablet to game on. Maybe there is a target audience out there that isn't imaginary, but I just know I don't see it.
Re:Copies are not you! (383 comments)
I have a scar on my leg, when I got it, sure that made me realize "hey I should be more careful with sharp objects around me," but by no means did it change who I was. Similarly, metal skin wouldn't change who I am, it would merely change the fact that I no longer have flesh - and that I don't need to be quite as careful around sharp objects as I do now.

Lol, tell that to the people complaining about the whole "X stopped working after iTunes made me install update Y" which has been plaguing iOS devices the past few months.
Re:Not as happy with CM as I could be. (124 comments)
I've had nothing but good experiences with even the more recent CM 10.1 nightlies on my Galaxy S3, the RC builds are definitely stable enough for day to day use (at least on the GS3, although I don't see why the Note would suffer from any major bugs this far along in development - I used to have similar issues to what you described with the rebooting during calls, for me at least these were resolved long ago).

For the first time in the history of history, I'm glad I have the dual core variant o.o
Re:Will it actually install this time? (124 comments)
I've had nothing but great experiences using Odin. Of course, I've also grown to love the ROM Manager app, which allows me to keep CWM up to date (I got the premium version for CWM touch, which I've grown to love)
Re:Would it kill you to define "Cyanogenmod"? (124 comments)
I agree with you, and thanks for the feedback on my first article. It's really about asking yourself "what level of understanding do I expect the reader to have right off the bat, and how can I concisely put in possibly useful information into the article?" I've found this to be an enlightening experience, and look forward to posting articles in the future, and learning from the mistakes I've made as I go.
Re:Erm, yeah... "some" devices. (124 comments)
That's why there's unofficial ports around =P
Re:And on a well-edited nerd news site (124 comments)
I actually agree with you, since I wrote the article I consider this to be good feedback, in retrospect I should have described briefly what Cyanogenmod is, aside from some formatting changes my post was pretty much unedited. Granted, one can probably figure out what Cyanogenmod is through the context (talking about android releases and whatnot), it should be made clearer for people who don't, or wouldn't know what it is (say iOS/WP users). So thanks for the feedback, I intend on being more clear for future articles I write.

You've got the order wrong, there will be a lot less pirating when companies realize that DRM is what's killing their sales. DRM only hurts the people who buy the software, not the people who pirate it. Really, it's the pirates that are getting superior software (due to removed DRM), and they're getting it for free. There's no way you can logically argue that you can put an end to DRM by eliminating piracy. If you eliminate DRM though, it's much easier to end piracy.
DRM doesn't protect companies from pirates (and companies who believe it does are idiotic), no matter how good of a system they come up with eventually there will be a way to bypass it. The reality of the situation is that developing DRM is a complete waste of resources, because people will get past it - so the cost of developing DRM really just cuts into their profits more.
tl;dr: You have it backwards, end DRM to (help) stop Piracy. Also DRM is idiotic in general.
Re:one option was pet (350 comments)
It's probably just an oversight. They should fix it and merge the two options, since they are the same thing really.

We haven't used the 'Release Candidate' nomenclature since the ICS days, but we feel the 10.1 branch is quickly approaching the point where a 'final' build is due. To prepare for that eventuality, RC1 builds for CyanogenMod 10.1.0 are now landing on our servers! This will be one of (if not the last) milestone releases before a 10.1.0 is pushed out. These builds will appear as they complete the build process and, as always, you can download the builds via get.cm!
Android Police speculates that this is due in part to the rumored release announcement of Android 4.3 given at Google I/O 2013 which is taking place in (now) less than one week. Looks like the Android community will have a lot to talk about in coming days!"

Soldier killed in Korean War back home
Rochester, N.Y. - An Ontario County soldier killed in the Korean War 63 years ago returned home on Wednesday afternoon.
The remains of Army Cpl. George Conklin, Jr. were brought to Phelps on Wednesday.
People saluted and waved flags to pay tribute to the fallen hometown hero, as a motorcade brought his remains from Greater Rochester International Airport to Phelps.
"It's a sad day, but also a happy day, because everybody's going to be together," said Mary Conklin, Cpl. Conklin's sister-in-law. "Now he's gonna be home. My husband passed away four years ago, his other brother passed away in the spring, and his parents died in 1993. So now, all of them are going to be together."
Cpl. Conklin was first listed as missing in action after a December 1950 battle, when he was just 18. His status was later changed to killed in action. Cpl. Conklin's remains were only recently found and identified.
Conklin will be buried at Resthaven Cemetery in the Village of Phelps on Saturday.

So I recently purchased this house in the summer of 2013 and we have a fairly nice back yard. About a month or so ago, I noticed a tree that was whitening on one half and the bark is peeling away from the tree on the other half. I haven't ever owned a home before so this is the first time I have ever had to deal with this. I have been watering the tree like crazy hoping that will help but so far nothing. Is my tree dying? Is there anything I can do to save it? It is in full bloom right now and is very pretty but I am worried for the future of the tree. There are some little white things coming out of the bark in certain places as well. Does this indicate anything? Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated! |

Answer is no. However it might last one or even 2 more years. The responsible thing to do is to cut it down, but if you aren't worried about it destroying the fence and you really need the shade, you could always leave it. I wouldn't take any naps under it. |

first you give us some pix of the leaves and flowers that we can focus on ... so as to ID it .. and if not here.. then the name that plant forum ... which would them lead us to research whether it can be rejuvenated ... i suspect it might actually be a shrub... rather than a tree... and if so.. there are things that can be done . as you see it.. it wont be any more ... but it does not.. necessarily follow.. that it is dying... and i would probably start.. after ID.. by cutting the back part to about 3 inches.. and seeing how the plant responds ... but lets see what it is ken ps: if its an ornamental pear ... just be done with it... lol .. i just cant tell in that one pic ... does it smell horrible??? .. like wet dirty gym socks??? |
- Posted by lazygardens PhxAZ%3A Sunset 13 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 20, 14 at 9:48
In short, no. The missing bark will not regrow, and the mushrooms coming from the trunk indicate lots of long-dead wood in there. Start planning a replacement. Pick a species that is suited to your area, preferably a native tree. That's probably a Bradford Pear ... common, fast growing and short-lived. " have been watering the tree like crazy hoping that will help" ... this only helps if the tree was short on water. If you find any other plants that are ailing, find out what's wrong before you start piling on the remedies. You can kill them if you do the wrong thing. |
Ken - it's an apple tree. The flowers are fairly clear in the first picture and the spent flowers and leaves are absolutely clear in the second picture. Whether an ornamental or fruit apple is not possible to tell. It's pretty badly diseased but could last a few more years as it gradually dies. It will not look any prettier as it does so. |

Don't Overreact to Intel's Earnings Results
What this tells me is that as downtrodden as Intel may appear, management has figured out ways to bring back operational efficiency means that the company is still in capable hands. Not to mention, the company has laid down the foundation for its long term-success, which includes (among other things) perusing growth in China and emerging markets, and reinvesting cash flow back into research and development.
In that regard, I'm willing to give management the time it needs to make the necessary adjustments to grow market share in that all-important mobile category. I know this is where things get sketchy.
I'm not suggesting that Intel is suddenly going to overtake Qualcomm and Broadcom (BRCM), but I believe Intel has the ability to emerge as a legitimate player not only in mobile devices but also baseband chips.
That Samsung has chosen Intel's Clover Trail+ mobile chip processor to power its Galaxy Tab is a small step. But it's one that can turn into a giant leap. This also demonstrates that Intel is, in fact, able to optimize Google's (GOOG) Android platform, which some people in the media have argued Intel couldn't do.
So as I've said on more than one occasion, taking a position here on Intel should be about what you believe the company is able to do the future. Judging Intel solely on a quarter to quarter basis doesn't work. Given management's plans to grow the company's chip business in the emerging markets, shares of Intel can command a long-term fair market value of $32 per share on the basis of improved margin and free cash flow.

I want to "trim" the edge of a seashell with silver. I definitely do not want to just glue metal on. Is there some way to attach metal to a shell? Could I perhaps even use metal clay?
- Ashley
Our suggestion is to apply copper foil to the edge of your seashell and tin the foil with silver using solder and a soldering iron. If you used metal clay you would have to fire the piece and your shell wouldn't make it through the firing. You'd also have the metal clay shrinkage to deal with so your best bet would be soldering copper foil. View the tutorial in the resource section and it will lead you every step of the way!

Your Personal Apocalypse
Your personal apocalypse,
your private Babylon,
your polo horses, pool, and manicured lawn,
the edifice is crumbling, what more is there to say.
I see you in the hallway,
but the house is burning down ,
a fool , a jester, prince without a crown.
politician banksters, world renowned .
Boarded windows,
locks on doors,
people seeking answers not found in any stores.
You fear tomorrow coming,
but your standing in the door !
In the halls of government,
hypocrisy abounds,
money lenders in the temple,
play monopoly with clowns.
Get up, take a bow !
Your personal apocalypse,
your private Babylon,
your polo horses , pool and manicured lawn,
edifices crumbling, what more is there to say .

Blogger Blitz: Chiefs to keep free agents?
February, 12, 2013
Bill Williamson | ESPN.com
The Kansas City Chiefs have big decisions to make in free agency beginning with receiver Dwayne Bowe and left tackle Branden Albert.
I expect them to make an attempt to keep both as they begin a new regime. New coach Andy Reid and new general manager John Dorsey are trying to show the locker room that there is new leadership, and that they value the existing players. Making an attempt to keep the team's top fee agents is a way of doing that, as we discuss in this video.

This 36-acre beach park with plenty of shade is great for families and sports lovers. With its extensive lawns and sports fields, the park welcomes volleyball, baseball, and tennis players, and even has a playground, skateboard park, and a roller hockey rink. Stocked with grills and picnic pavilions, it's a recreational mecca. The beach itself is all but nonexistent, but swimming is fair—though you must brave the rocky steps down to the water. If you aren't completely comfortable with this entrance, stick to the burgers and bocce ball. Amenities: parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: partiers.

Plattsburgh From the blog, "The Lobster Tank: Quadruple Header," on Oct. 21:
It's 3:10 p.m., and I am heading out to try and get coverage at four different sporting events, starting with AuSable Valley and Plattsburgh High girls soccer; then cross country with PHS hosting Seton Catholic and Saranac Lake; then PHS and Peru swimming at Stafford Middle School; and finally Peru at AuSable Valley football. Hopefully, I can be up to the task. Here we go...
Photo Gallery
AuSable Valley at Plattsburgh High girls soccer
Pictures from the Oct. 21 girls soccer game between the AuSable Valley Patriots and Plattsburgh High Hornets.
4:10 p.m. and I am at the first event. AVCS is trying to keep their hold of second place in Division I against PHS, who beat the Patriots 2-0 in their first meeting. Six minutes in and the game is scoreless.
4:39 p.m. heading to cross country. Karlie Neale made two spctacular saves to keep the game scoreless in the 33rd minute.
4:45 p.m. AVCS scores just as I am leaving after three more great saves by Neale.
4:58 p.m. the action was fast at the cross country meet between PHS, Seton and Saranac Lake. It looks like Seton will sweep in both boys and girls. Off to swimming.

Seton Catholic, Saranac Lake, Plattsburgh High cross country

5:28 p.m. Got to the event to see the 200 freestyle (missed the first relay). Be here for a bit, then off to eat and on to football.
5:46 p.m. Peru is honoring their senior swimmers during the intermission.
5:56 p.m. As the PHS senior swimmers are honored, it's time to head to the fourth and final event of the night, Peru at AVCS football. Peru is the top seed in Class B, while AVCS is the two seed in Class C.

8:10 p.m. The football game is one quarter in, with Peru leading AVCS 21-0. The mission to make four sporting events is complete!
8:46 p.m. It appears that Peru wil finish off an undefeated season as they lead AVCS 42-0 at halftime.

From the Archives: Miracles and Science, Part 5
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
From the Archives: Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).

What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Ken Ham and Biblical Authority
Because BioLogos accepts the scientific evidence for the age of the earth and common ancestry, Ham believes we are undermining the Bible and denying its authority. However, the authority of the Bible is key for all that we do at BioLogos.

Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.

Introduction to QuickNote and Geeknote
Notable Tools
Sorting through the array of note-taking tools and their features can be overwhelming. We look at two applications that offer a simple approach.
Note-taking tools are staples of productivity, which probably explains the cornucopia of Linux software for taking and managing notes. But, besides popular applications like Tomboy and BasKet Note Pads, many other lesser known and quirky note-taking tools are waiting to be discovered. These options include QuickNote and Geeknote, which offer slightly different approaches to working with notes.

Volvo S80
mcoz Posts: 5Sorry for taking so long to reply. It is hard to remember exactly where i am suppose to be in the forum to check my messages. We have the T6 engine. I contacted my salesman who also drives a 04 T6 and he said he get 17 city. That's what we get. We used to get 20 with our 940 turbo. The car is in repair today for bad AM reception, a thumping wooshing sound from under the hood( maybe the struts) and a buzzing noise that seems to be coming from behind the back seats. Guess I should have held onto our 940. Thanks!
lev_berkovich Posts: 858Since it has been quite a while ago, I do not remember what my original point was, probably that the new Volvos are not worse than the old ones.
I am really sorry, that you are not happy with your T6. I have a good time with my 2.9. It makes 20 MPG on mixed driving (bad mix both ways - either city traffic, or freeway stop-n-go, or freeway blast at over 75 - all of these conditions are bad for the mileage). It makes 25-27 MPG on the long leisure highway trips.
I do not know what a good AM reception should be, but I am pretty content with mine, it drops stations when I am far away from city, and pick - up some noise under the power lines, but I think that is normal.
And I have had all the common issues for 2000 MY car - sub-frame bushings, etc., but the service department of Calabasas Volvo fixed them all fast and professionally, so I did not feel much of inconvenience. -
heywood1 Posts: 847I love my 2000 S80 T-6. It's old and new. I bought it with only 17,000 miles (20,000 now), and just squeaked under the 47-month wire to get the extended VIP warranty. Already used it to replace brake booster, due to bad pedal pressure sensor. $459 part plus four hours of labor at $78.50 per. Love that $100 deductible! At first I figured it was the common ABS module problem, but this surprised even the service manager. He claims this is an unusual repair, even for this car.
tmex12 Posts: 15I have Volvo S80 2.9. Recently whenever I make a sharp right or left turn an error message shows up on the dashboard:
LOW OIL PRESSURE. STOP & PARK CAR ASAP (paraphrasing)
The Oil can sign also shows up. All this happens in a few seconds.
I have serviced the car as per schedule. Is there something I should be scared of. -
sparq Posts: 5Hello folks,
Here's my story. With 100k miles on my 2000T6, the transmission is finally gone. When around 90k, I started noticing vibrations during gear change - the transmission "hesitated". The dealer said don't worry about it. It worsened over the time, and now I have big problems with acceleration. It feels like the tranny doesn't transfer the engine power - RPMs go high but there's no acceleration at all. When I release the acc. pedal, it feels like the transmission suddenly "locks" and the car is kicked forward with a mighty hitch, however hitting the accelerator again results in another idle RPMs.
Now the dealer told me that the are some error codes on the transmission, and that a replacement will cost around 4000 USD (which is now about 1/3 of the car value). I've found one 2002 tranny at the aftermarket - it has 18k miles on it and cost will be a fraction of a new part. I just hope it's going to work for me.
Has anyone any experience with installation of used parts; and particularly transmissions?
And, just for curiosity, has anyone experienced same problems like me?
Sparq -
heywood1 Posts: 847'Used' and 'aftermarket' are not mutually exclusive. If this 18K transmission is a used one from another S80, then I'd go ahead. But if it's used AND an aftermarket (made by another manufacturer), I'd stay away. I've read nothing but bad things from people who have tried to replace S80 trannys with aftermarket--used or not. Also, if you think this car is worth $12,000, you're dreaming. It's a wonderful car, but chronic problems like these have driven re-sale value into the ground. Two months ago I paid $18,500 for a 2000 T-6 with only 17,000 miles on it. If you love this car, then go ahead and fix it properly--but as cheaply as you can. Otherwise, dump it for a newer, more reliable 2002-2004 model.
sparq Posts: 5Just a sigh.
When listening to observations of the mechanic who's replacing the tranny for me (I trust him, he's straight and he has good experience with Volvos), I feel like issuing a chart of most infamous Volvo dealers in New England... I must've been very naive to have regularly serviceed my car at Volvo dealers after the warranty had expired! -
lev_berkovich Posts: 858The future EUCD platform is defined as a European upper-middle class platform (Ford Mondeo - Contour, Galaxy, new crossover, maybe Jaguar X and Volvo S60/V70) - next step from the current C1 platform. It is not going to be large enough for S80. There are rumors that PAG can built a common platform for Volvo S80 - Jaguar S. This sounds more plausible. However, I would believe that a new S80 will be based on a VCC concept (P2 platform?).
And by the way - C1 is a great platform, definite success in every flavor - Ford, Mazda, Volvo. -
tulsahog Posts: 64On a 2003 S80 which I bought new 17 months ago, just noticed while cleaning the wheels that there are small pits in the finish. They are very small but would seem to indicate a problem with the plating. They will not rub off. Has anyone had this problem and if so, how did the dealer address it? It has to be a defect in the wheel plating. Since I live in Oklahoma, we do not see as much road salt and chemicals as the northern states.
There also seems to be a lot of brake dust on the wheels only days after cleaning. I have read about this on the board, but having owned only American made cars before, wondered if this indicated excessive pad wear.
Thanks for your help. -
lev_berkovich Posts: 858
tulsahog Posts: 64Took car to dealer. They said it was brake dust stuck to the wheels. It was on the surface and not pits. Could feel it with finger nail. They cleaned the wheels and removed almost all of the black specks. Said I could use a brush and detergent and "elbow grease" to remove the remainder . They didn't have any other recommendations, but wouldn't a sealer or wax help keep the dust from adhering to the wheel?
I was pleased with the free service which also included a wash job. -

The brake dust comes off all year with a sponge and car soap, and there are no pits or "hard to remove" deposits after years of use. I'm in snow country too so there's lots of salt around.
heywood1 Posts: 847Let's not dwell on the replacement for the S-80. The current model will be the last platform not contaminated by Ford bean counters. I'm planning to buy one of the last of the current version before it becomes automotive history--V-8 or not.
Q: What do you call a Jaguar now that they're owned by Ford?

cursedbycars Posts: 1I have a 1999 s80. I wish I had seen this site before, would love to have known if the throttle cleaning was my problem. Bought it in Novemebr 2002. In shop 9 times in 6 months with power drop off, eventually replaced intake manifold, only slight improvement. Just replaced throttle body, as well as, front sway bars twice, strut mount front drivers, both rear struts, brake booster, sunroof need replacing, bumper loosened off twice, engine mount broke off, and the list goes on.
Buy another one - only with a death wish. Volvo denied any service bulletins ever issues for any of these problems. Not true. -
volvomax Posts: 5,274I wouldn't be so shortsighted if I were you.
So far, Fords "beancounters" haven't come anywhere near Volvo.
The new S40 is the first fruit of the Volvo Ford partership and its arguably the best driving and handling Volvo ever.
Its also cheaper than the 1993 Volvo 240 was in real dollars.
The current S80 is a nice car, but out of date by modern standards.
I would also direct your attention to the new Jaguar XJ, 100% Jaguar and no skimping from the beancounters. -

heywood1 Posts: 847Point taken about the XJ; I'd be proud to own one. But I would direct YOUR attention to the X-type. The dash and switches look like that of any Ford you might rent from Hertz, and is one of many reasons why a $5,000 drop in MSRP was needed to help move these turds.
I have been told that part of the acquisition agreement prohibits Fords from sharing bits with Volvos (I'm paraphrasing) for ten years, but allows the opposite. So if this is true--and when the ten years is up--I believe the bean counters at Ford won't be able to help themselves. They need to make up the losses from Jaguar somewhere. -

I do not think it is true. The C1 platform (Ford/Mazda/Volvo) is a true shared technology. I just do not believe that Ford will deliberately hurt them self by not trusting the Volvo design team which knows how to build large sedans. So far we can see the opposite - all Ford new large sedans and cross - overs are Volvo-based.

Found this one at HD, first time I've seen it, and there isn't much info online about it. Wow! They all had the same dark foliage, even larger ones. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Apparently, Black Diamond is the trade name for a new series of crApe myrtles. The individual cultivars include: There doesn't appear to be much info on the cultivars or the series. |
I strongly suspect that Black Diamond reproduces Delta Jazz (Lagerstroemia indica 'Chocolate Mocha') and peddles it without a patent or trademarked name. Those cupped leaves are very characteristic the Chocolate Mocha. It's a suspicion not an accusation, mind you. I've seen that kind of activity countless times, though. |
I've lost the tag, rhizo, but I wonder if you're right. I'll go to HD tomorrow and look at the ones they still have and see what info is there. This one has dark red blooms, though. However, it is pretty potbound, and if I don't get it planted tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be L. i. 'Black Death'. |
I went to the nursery and looked at these. The tag didn't give much info, but they do have a website, but these are new and aren't on it. However, it's all over their facebook page. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Black Diamond on Facebook
Plant Me Green is the grower/distributor of the Black Diamond...I found their website and a label for this plant. I am still mystified by the lack of a patent number on the cultivar or a trademark on the name. Enjoy it and keep us posted on it as it matures and develops. |
Mine came from J. Berry, which is here in Texas, and no patent or trademark on their label, either. |
Hmmmmm, I contacted the Plant Me Green people and they said that J Berry Nursery owns the TRADEMARK on the Black Diamond name. I'm wondering who owns the patented rights of propagation on the plant? O, well. |
The Black Diamonds were bred by a USDA breeder and are just now being introduced by J Berry Nursery who owns the trademark on the name. Unfortunately the USDA elected not to patent these plants. |
Probably because they are so much like the 'Delta Jazz ' series. A plant needs to be clearly unique for a new patent to be issued. |
I emailed the company to ask whether they are available in Atlanta, GA. They replied within one day to say that "this fall" I might start seeing some in my market, and until then to check out Plant Me Green. LSU Ag Center has done some features on these plants. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Youtube - Black Diamond Crape Myrtle
We got confirmation from the breeder that Black Diamond is a repackaging of the non-patented Ebony series. If you can find the plant you are free to propagate it to your hearts content. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Solving the Mystery of the Black Diamond Crepe Myrtle Series
Dave, that's interesting. The one I got last year is doing great and is blooming now. I'm going to get one with white blooms today. |

New details emerge in arrest of Ron Paul's grandson at Charlotte airport
Submitted by Neotheone on Thu, 01/17/2013 - 15:19http://clclt.com/theclog/archives/2013/01/17/ron-pauls-grand...
Have you ever woken up from an early January drunken stupor and wished you could reset the new year and start again? That's how William Hilton Paul probably felt when he visited the Queen City earlier this month.
Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul's 19-year-old son was arrested Jan. 5 at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and charged with consuming alcohol underage, disorderly conduct at an airport, and being intoxicated and disruptive. His most recent charge - perhaps his most serious - is assaulting a woman.
The 2016 presidential hopeful's son - and grandson of libertarian cult hero and former presidential candidate Ron Paul - assaulted a 22-year-old US Airways flight attendant after being woken up from a nap upon arrival to Charlotte. Jessica Stutzman, who lives in Quakertown, Penn., a small burough about 30 miles north of Philidelphia, was not injured and is believed to have returned to work shortly after the incident. Calls to Stutzman's house were not returned.

don't make this personal, neo
you're sounding like you are beginning to take this personal vendetta thing against rand too far. it only hurts your credentials of being a vigilant liberty watchmen policing even those of your own kind, if that's the status you're trying to achieve for yourself. going after people's personal lives only discredits yourself. it doesn't hurt rand. you know you have gone too far when not even the liberal media is interested in this.

"..charged with consuming
"..charged with consuming alcohol underage, disorderly conduct at an airport, and being intoxicated and disruptive. His most recent charge - perhaps his most serious - is assaulting a woman."
underage drinking...stupid but minor
disorderly conduct/disruptive...need more info (probably the aledged assault)
assault...assault is merely the threat of violence (battery is violence)
If people are hounding the Pauls, they could claim that just looking at someone mean was assault. Likely, a flight attendent woke up a drunk teen and the teen said something mean back that included some lame threat of violence: "if you don't let me sleep, i'm going to slap you"
As a big guy, I am extra careful about what I say around people nowadays.

Yeah, joeneesima...
When I was growing up the we could legally drink at 18. There are plenty people that can drink at 15, 16, 17 years old without it causing any problem and there are plenty of people that are 30, 40, and 50 years old that should never take another drink. Its all about personal responsiblity. Thinking there is a one size fit all solution to social problems is a Statist concept that = FAIL.

How the charges just keep getting worse, every time Rand says something like "Nullify."
The FAA is digging around for a felony to tag him with... Rand's family appears to be under attack, I hope they are up for the battle.
I wish them all the best.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is WHEAT, BARLEY, HAY, ALFALFA!!!
Facts about WHEAT, BARLEY, HAY, ALFALFA!!
- Breed: Siamese
- Color: Tan Or Fawn
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- ID#: bundles of joy!
- Hair: Short
WHEAT, BARLEY, HAY, ALFALFA!!'s Info...
I am a special needs pet, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
ONLY TWO LEFT!!! We are now 4+1/2 mos old, very sweet, calm, laidback boys. pictures While we wait for are permanent home, we just play and have a good time -- and purrrrrr....We are adorable- like to be aopted in "PAIRS" ...Call for appointment and directions.
Other Pets at SHINGILANA RESCUED FELINES
Why Adoption is a Great Option
WHEAT, BARLEY, HAY, ALFALFA!!, a Germantown Siamese kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Siamese for sale in Germantown, or seeking a Siamese kitten from a breeder in Germantown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Germantown already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Germantown breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Siamese breeders who help with Siamese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Germantown paves the way for another one to be saved.

Madison Food Escapes
Dine in the city—but feel like you're a world away
A table at Sardine
Sure, we love Madison,otherwise we wouldn't live here. But it's nice to imagine just for an hour or two that we're somewhere else—whether it's the steamy streets of Bangkok, the sun-washed beaches of the Caribbean or even the crazed urban life of New York City. Wherever it is, these local restaurants will take you there—no passport required.
Coastal Cuisines
It's a fact that culinary innovations and trends start on the coasts and work their way inward. And these kitchens are certainly indicative of the east and west coasts both in atmosphere and taste.
West Coast
Sea World
The new downtown hotspot Tempest Oyster Bar features outstanding,sustainable seafood in a laid-back atmosphere carried out with bleached and weathered wood, white stucco walls and a bar fronted with old green bottles. Tempest feels like a trendy, understated place that would pop up in San Diego, and the fact that an old wooden Chris Craft boat and impressive blue marlin grace the front room of the restaurant gives the impression that the ocean isn't far away.
Bay Beat
From the gorgeous natural light that filters in to the character of the old brick walls, wood floors and bentwood chairs, Sardine reminds me of a place I'd stumble upon in a San Francisco neighborhood and return to again and again. Set near the waterfront, this bistro always has a nice wine list, cool cocktails and a relaxed but sophisticated vibe. Maybe it's all because co-owner/chef Phillip Hurley has worked in several kitchens in the City by the Bay.
Wine Time
Warm yet modern, earthy but sexy, Harvest could be set in the Napa Valley—if it weren't so committed to food grown here in the Midwest. The upscale restaurant, like the best of its wine country counterparts, focuses on local and organic ingredients, with menus that change constantly to reflect what's in season. Special dinners highlight area farmers and, of course, everything pairs beautifully with a good wine. (KV)
East Coast
New York State of Mind
It's tempting to say the only thing Gotham Bagels and Stalzy's Deli lack in terms of authentic New York feel is attitude. But the truth is, New York City stopped being rude a long time ago, so not even the orderly and efficient service gives away that both are a long cab ride from the Big Apple. What really causes one to look for an Upper West Side address for Gotham—or Lower East Side for Stalzy's—is bagels with a bite and a chew and a decent schmear, and a pastrami that's tender and just a little fatty with good mustard and a pickle—and we've finally got 'em both. For many years the question of what the Madison food scene lacked got the same answer—a real deli. Cross that one off the list. Now, if there were just a subway from Mifflin to Atwood. (NH)
Across the Nation
These city hotspots remind us of urban centers around the U.S.A, from northwestern nostalgia to honky-tonk taqueria.
Seattle Spot
Lakeside Street Coffee House isn't Pike's Market Seattle, or even Belltown Seattle. It's more Magnolia Seattle, or even Mercer Island Seattle with a peek of water through the window and a school across the street. But the attention to detail from bean to cup is Seattle through and through, and on a rainy day if you squint a little, the state Capitol looks like Mt. Rainier. (NH)
Steppin it Up
Tex Tubb's Taco Palace is an unfussy taqueria, someplace you'd encounter in San Antonio or Austin. The décor is pure fun and the neon-lit sign outside signifies this place is definitely a family friendly, casual neighborhood spot. Its spot-on margaritas (NOT made from a mix), cheap tacos and refill-it-yourself salsa bar are worth the trip alone. Lest you think this taco joint forgot it's in Madison though, it didn't; check out their Wil-Mar, Atwood or Schenk's Corner burritos. (SM)
European Escapes
Feel like you're jetting around Europe when you pop into these taverns and eateries, all of which lend that certain je ne sais quois to the experience.
Kick it Up
Order up an ale, stout, lager or other favorite European brew and settle in to watch a rugby match at The Coopers Tavern. (KV)
Prosit Place
Anyone who's been to Germany knows their affinity for good-time beer halls. You'll indeed find that same die Kameradschaft (camaraderie) at the Essen Haus in an authentic atmosphere. (SM)
Rustic Elegance
The owner's from Bologna, but Osteria Papavero reminds me of a restaurant in Parma where the ham was sublime and the ragu unforgettable. (NH)
Dance and Dine
Stop by Brocach on a Friday night for a pint and to hear the Currach playing upbeat jigs and reels, and you'll swear you're in Ireland. (KV)
Frenchie Feast
You'd never know by its strip-mall location, but La Baguette's croissants, baguettes, tarts and quiches are what make it truly divine. Choose from a tarte aux poire, pain aux olives or a boule with butter and sit in front of the fireplace, pretending you're in a café off the Boulevard Saint Germain. (SM)
Satisfy your wanderlust—and cravings for exotic flavors—at these restaurants influenced by distant locales.
Inspired by Caribbean islands, Jolly Bob's is a perpetual ray of sunshine. The back patio, with its white plastic furniture, beckons all summer long. But come winter, the restaurant's combination of food, music and drinks is particularly appreciated. Stop by for dinner or simply the
tropical libations. After a few Bahama Mamas or Rasta Raspberry Slammers, you'll wonder, is that the hum of traffic on Willy Street or the sound of the Caribbean Sea?
Set in a quaint space on Fair Oaks Avenue, Sala Thai has earned a loyal following since opening in 2008. The restaurant's interior is filled with wood—on the floor and ceiling and in carved details on the walls and the pointed arch by the cash register—as well as artwork and portraits of the Thai royal family. Sitting by the front windows and digging into the hot green curry with tofu, I began to feel flushed. Maybe it was the sunshine streaming in or the spiciness of the dish, but all of a sudden, the steamy streets of Bangkok didn't feel so far away.
When you want big flavor without a lot of fuss, turn to one of the city's casual Mexican restaurants. At Taqueria Guadalajara, the tiny pink house on Park Street, El Pastor farther down the street, the new Francisco's Cantina on East Main or one of the many La Bamba outposts, you'll find tacos, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas and more. Pop in for a bite and leave with a full belly and hardly a dent in your wallet, just as if you'd wandered into a little taquería south of the border. (KV)
Midwest at Heart
Favorite places that make us feel like we're only a stone's throw from home.
Twin City Charm
Ah, Minneapolis. Its approachable Midwestern sensibility means that many of its restaurants are sleek and modern but filled with friendly people. Such is the case at Merchant, where drinkers and diners huddle at the bar or spread out in the dining room enjoying a very uptown (in Minneapolis' case, it could literally be in Uptown) setting.
Moving Up
It's no secret we love our locally grown restaurants, but let's face it, we stop in at the chains, too. The Chicago-born Francesca's empire has made it up to our fair city (and yes, we have the only Wisconsin location). Francesca al Lago's delightful hand written menu with ever-changing options makes us feel like we're at a local joint, though, and that seems to be their aim. It doesn't hurt that it's got a stellar location and beautifully appointed interior, either—kind of like Chicago's neighborhood joints.
Old Style
Did you know Milwaukee used to be the bowling capital of the world? This former blue-collar city has since stepped out of its bowling shoes and into its dress shoes and come into its own as a cosmopolitan city. But we still like stepping into the Avenue Bar and reminiscing about how it used to be—good fish fries, happy-hour camaraderie and cold beers—all in a friendly tavern atmosphere that's barely been touched by time. (SM)
Distinctly Madison
We know this story is about feeling like you're someplace else, but we'd be remiss if we didn't mention there's one spot that makes us feel like there's "no place like home" and that's L'Etoile. Its semi-recent building change is a welcome facelift and feels appropriate for Madison. Not only is this farm-to-table fine-dining establishment now able to fit more people, but the sleek, open-air setting with soaring windows reflects Madison's move into a budding, bustling city that's coming into its own. (SM)
Of Restaurants Past
If you've ever hoisted a glass of Peck's Pilsner at the Great Dane Brewpub, you're already an elbow up on Madison restaurant history. Peck is the name of this city's first restaurant owners, Eben and Rosaline, who opened an inn in 1837 that lodged and fed workers building Wisconsin's Capitol. It's no stretch to see these guys—hewing and quarrying a city from the wilderness—clad in suspenders, sleeves rolled up, quaffing mugs over rough-sawn tables, digging forks into thick local fare.
When I arrived in Madison for graduate school a century and a half later, something of the provincial still remained. Crispy fried smelt could be munched at the worn tables of Goeden's Fish House (where the Vintage now stands). All-you-can-eat spaghetti at Josie's on Park Street—in the heart of Madison's Greenbush neighborhood—was comforting on stomach and wallet. But as I got married and graduated to the work world in the 1990s, a buffet of inter-national options was emerging. Was it tajine of lamb and artichoke bottoms at Marrakech Café on King Street? Taking in a bowl of steaming borscht at Russian House on Johnson Street as snow fell outside? A romantic night with my wife—dipping triangles of pita bread into creamy Greek caviar—at Kosta's on State Street? Reliving trips to Spain through tapas of potato omelets and cured ham at La Paella? These meals, it seemed, grounded me in the here and now and brought me to
wonderful places.
I have to confess a certain sadness—a realization of mortality, probably—in saying that these restaurants are no more. Just as the Pecks moved on to ventures in Baraboo shortly after coming to Madison, so these restaurant owners are seeking opportunity elsewhere. The restaurant world, especially in Madison, is nothing if not fluid. So while I remember this wave of nascent ethnic eateries as a golden age, another—of Latin American and Indian food, of local fare and of cuisines yet unimagined—surely awaits.
- John Motoviloff
A Love Affair with New Orleans
I first visited New Orleans in 1975. I had no expectations; it was just another business trip to another town. After all, I'd already seen most of the country's capitals of commerce and London, Paris and Rome to boot. It was a foggy winter night and I tediously inched my rental car down the Interstate. Suddenly, a green sign materialized: Vieux Carré. (Hertz had warned me that this was my exit.) Down the ramp I spiraled, crossing Rampart Street into another world: the Vieux Carré—it means "Old Square" in French but is better known as the French Quarter.
Out of inky shadows, old buildings with lacy ironwork crept forth like ghosts rising from the grave. I crossed Bourbon Street, a neon-lit river of humanity—more a carnival midway than a thoroughfare. I opened the car window and the air was thick and gentle, exotic yet at the same time familiar: the perfume of food cooking, the salty smell of the Gulf, and the musk of mildew and decay. The noise assaulted me, both incessant and intoxicating: laughter, distant riverboat whistles, the bark of pitchmen and music everywhere. The Big Easy dished up a sensual gumbo, and I had yet to set foot in any of its celebrated restaurants.
During the days that followed, it was breakfast at Brennan's and dinner at Antoine's. Having to stand in line at Galatoire's only made the place more captivating, once I was admitted into its venerable inner sanctum and presented a menu that hadn't changed in almost a century.
I wandered through the French Quarter, investigating every nook and cranny, only to return again and discover something I'd somehow overlooked. I fantasized about the secrets that hid behind rusting gates in crumbling brick walls. Even the streets names seduced me … Mystery, Desire and Tchoupitoulas. How could I not fall in love with a city where every day is an excuse for a parade and every meal a feast?
Traditionally, the cuisine here is Creole: an improbable but delightful ménage of French, Spanish, Caribbean and African flavors. In the passing years, the Italians, Cajuns and diverse cultures continue to spice the mix. The result is unique to this place, including dishes like jambalaya, etouffée, muffuletta and beignets with chicory coffee.
Much has changed in the post-Katrina city. For one thing, there are now more restaurants than before the hurricane! There were casualties, to be sure, but New Orleans has always been and continues to be an incubator for aspiring young chefs and innovation in cooking. Paul Prudhomme, Emeril Lagasse, Susan Spicer and many more made their names here. What remains constant, however, are an unequalled appreciation of good food and the joy of living.
Food and I have a serious relationship, one consummated long before I ever came to New Orleans, but one never as satiated anywhere else.

Eating Healthy Foods On A Daily Basis
- August 2014
- Posted By JohnnyG
- 0 Comments
Doctors recommend a healthy diet as one of the three most crucial aspects of enjoying a healthy, rewarding and long life. The other two aspects are: first, a moderate exercise program consisting of cardio, strength and flexibility training exercises and; second, sensible lifestyle habits, such as sufficient sleep, effective stress management, and avoidance of cigarettes, illicit drugs, and other harmful substances.
Healthy Diet and Disease
Why is this so? With a healthy diet, you can prevent many diseases from taking root in your body, so to speak. Your healthy diet should consist more of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish and seafood, low-fat dairy products, nuts and seeds, and legumes, thus, less of packaged, processed and junk foods.
The macronutrients (i.e., carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (i.e., vitamins and minerals), and antioxidants in healthy foods protect the body against toxins, contaminants and pollutants that enter it on a daily basis. These beneficial substances also lessen the risks for chronic degenerative diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancers, among others. Indeed, you can prevent many diseases from attacking your body with a healthy diet adopted on a daily basis.
Even when you are battling with a disease, your doctor will still recommend a healthy diet to enable your body to successfully fight it off. For example, when you have hemorrhoids, you should eat fiber-rich foods (e.g., fruits and vegetables) to soften your stool, thus, making it easier to pass through your rectum. Your applications of topical hemorrhoid cream will then have higher efficacy because your rectal lining and anal skin are less irritated with each bowel movement.
In all types of treatment for diseases, doctors will recommend a healthy diet for their patients. The differences lie in the types of healthy foods that can be eaten considering the underlying medical condition, such as no nuts in patients with allergies.
Healthy Diet and Daily Life Activities
It is not just in disease prevention and treatment, however, that a healthy diet is beneficial to kids and adults alike. With a healthy diet, you will enjoy many benefits where your daily life activities are concerned, such as:
• Higher productivity. Keep in mind that your mind and body requires fuel (i.e., nutrients) so that you can perform tasks at home and in the office.
• Happier mood. Many foods, such as dark chocolate bananas and nuts, actually boost the mood because of their ability to increase serotonin levels.
• Lesser stress. While a certain level of stress is necessary for daily life, too much stress for prolonged periods can increase the risks for diseases. Eat foods rich in protein, such as fish, lean meat and low-fat dairy products, to moderate your cortisol levels and, thus, lessen stress.
• Better weight management. Obesity plays a significant role in increased risks for a wide range of chronic degenerative diseases. Weight management is then a must for all individuals and it starts with a healthier diet.
• Eat lesser yet healthier. Healthy eating focuses on quality, not quantity.
• Younger-looking skin. You should nourish your skin from the inside with a healthy diet with plenty of antioxidants, which wards off the signs of aging.
• Greater monetary savings. Think of it: When you stay healthy, you will enjoy more savings in your bank account since you have lower medical expenses. Plus, healthy foods are usually more affordable than junk foods in the long run.
Ultimately, you will benefit from switching to a healthier diet while your family and friends will also enjoy your company.
Healthy Diet Tips
Don't get discouraged by the prospect of adopting a healthier diet. Start small by substituting a few unhealthy ingredients with healthy ones, lessening your consumption of junk foods, and making healthier choices at the supermarket.
• Choose wholegrain varieties of starchy foods, which will make you feel fuller longer and provide energy.

Arctic Cooling 90mm Case Fan for $2 + free shippinghttp://dn.ws/au40:iapp_ios_dn-1_0
Awesome find, just ordered one. Now I need to get the other parts together. What are you using as the housing for the stir plate?
You can use anything really. Ive seen them in anything from radio shack project Box's to a thin slice of 8" or 10" PVC pipe with a hard plastic or wood circle glued to it for a top. I have mine in a cigar box. Alll you should need is an AC wall wort and a pot
For a good start refer to thishttp://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-s.../?nojs=1#links
Also great for maintaining airflow inside a keezer/kegerator, or for supplying cooling air to an e-brewery control panel, or for making your dress fly up in the air when you're feeling flirty.
Thanks for the link, Brewskii! Going to use that guide to put together my stirplate. I've heard folks recommend a resistor before the pot since they typically aren't rated for very high voltage. Does that thread go into adding resistance to the circuit?
I guess this deal was only for yesterday? Now listed at $9.99 unless I'm missing something. tom

You can try this. $4.99 with free shipping. This one is $3.99. It is pink, BUT it has red LEDs, which would look pretty cool in a clear case. Green! Multi-colored LEDs! Edit: An empty 25 pack CD spindle would be a perfect case for this.
Anyone ever put a heating element into the stirplate to help the yeast? Something like this http://gb.suntekstore.com/Motorcycle..._campaign=gbus Some have a knob to adjust heat settings too. Might be a cool project.
