About Hobe Sound Animal Protection League
About Our Shelter...
The Hobe Sound Animal Protection League is a non profit 501 (c) (3), no-kill, feline rescue group. HSAPL uses the TNR Program (trap, neuter, return or re-home) with cats that have been abandoned. We have found this to be the most humane method of controlling the overpopulation of homeless cats in this country.
With your support our organization has made vast strides toward educating the residents on the treasure coast about the humane choices they can make to help in the battle against overpopulation of unwanted pets. We salute you, and we promise to continue with our work throughout the coming years.
Our sanctuary at Caring Fields in Palm City, Florida is currently housing many cats that are adoptable. We also house non-adoptable cats who are not fully socialized or have disabilities that may prevent them from finding "forever" homes.
We are extremely proud of our very successful track record with the TNR Program. Since 2001 we have spayed and neutered over 600 cats in various colonies in Martin County, but there is still lots of work to be done.

P1 jeepney fare hike in Baguio effective Monday
-A A +AFriday, February 4, 2011
COMMUTERS come Monday will be paying an additional P1 to ride the public utility jeepneys.
Department of Transportation and Communication OIC-Regional Director Celina Claver said the Land Transportation Franchise and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) recently reached a decision granting fare increase for PUJs across the country.
In a signed board resolution, LTFRB approved the P1 increase in minimum fare for the first four kilometers and P1.40 for the succeeding kilometer.
From P7.50 for the first four kilometers, the new fares effective Monday will be P8.50 for regular passengers while students, senior citizens and the disabled will still be entitled to a 20 percent discount.
Claver said they are currently working out a fare matrix so drivers can post the newly approved fares in the region this weekend.
Regional Public Transport Affairs Officer Jonie Itliong said local jeepney operators are thankful for the positive response of the LTFRB as fuel, maintenance, and services for vehicles continue to increase almost every month.
He added that fuel prices are also more expensive in the city compared to those in other provinces in the Ilocos and Cagayan Valley regions.
However, he warned opportunistic jeepney drivers and operators not to collect the new fares yet without the fare matrix as they could be sanctioned by the LTFRB.
Discounted rates, meanwhile, have not yet been established for students, the disabled, and senior citizens. It is up to the LTFRB to determine how much discount will be given to these three groups.
If the P1 increase will be implemented, Itliong said, discounted rates will be at P7 for the first four kilometers during school days for students with duly registered and validated identification cards.
Drivers and operators found violating the new provisional rates shall be fined P500, or depending on the gravity of their offense. (JM Agreda)

I took a big apple, cut it into chunks and put in the blender with some water. I added water until it was more fluid, then I filtered out the pulp. The result was two cups of watery apple juice, so I added some brown sugar till it was acceptably sweet. Then in a sanitized bottle I put the juice, leaving a 3 inch head space, pitched 1/4 tsp. dry bread yeast and put an airlock. One problem happening is that the bubbles that form take a long time to break, so some of them are going into the airlock. If it turns out well am going to make more. Any tips, it's my first time attempting to make apple cider.
Use champion yeast or try it with the yeast on the Apple maby? An maby add a bit of Suger
I don't think I would have used bread yeast for brewing.
First of all I applaud your creativity and desire to experiment. I too was going to suggest you stay away from bread yeast but then I saw you were from out of the country so I am wondering do you not have access to wine yeast?? Also what about apple juice concentrate?? Those are two things that could make this whole process a little easier if you can get them.
Where I live there are no brewing stores, so I can only get bread yeast. I'll try to get some no preservatives apple juice. Also, is there some beverage that I can cultivate the yeast from? Thanks for the help.
You can make "wild" yeast starters from just apple skins. I've never tried it myself, but there's a lot of threads about harvesting them on here. If you like the taste of your product using bread yeast...why not stick with that. It would be better with wine, champagne, cider or ale yeast, but if it tastes good to you...
Do you have access to fresh ginger??? if so Fresh ginger is an easy place to get some wild yeast with out getting other stuff and the yeast will be more suited to the task than bread yeast. here is how you do it:"To make your ginger bug peel and mince about 2 teaspoons of ginger root. Put it in a small jar or glass with one cup of water and about 2 teaspoons of sugar. Cover the jar with a paper towel and rubber band your bug needs air to grow. Feed it more ginger and sugar daily. When it starts bubbling in 3 6 days you can use it for brewing. If it gets moldy throw it away and start over. Gently swirling the ginger in the jar several times a day will speed up the process and help keep it from molding. You can maintain the ginger bug indefinitely by feeding it more ginger and sugar at least every two days and pouring off the liquid into a new jar when the old jar gets too full of old ginger and spent sugar."
I've made sourdough starter (bread) like that except using rye flour and water. I think the apple peel harvesting is the same basic process. With the peels, you are getting yeasts that are present in the orchard.
After a week the fermentation has slown down, when is it that I should bottle the cider?

Tie Me Up and Tie Me Down
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word Sadomasochism also affectionately known as S&M?
My mind immediately does to Madonna's video hot video "Erotica". I can still hear her purr "erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body" in my mind. I will never forget seeing Madonna in the black mask wearing a tight black dress looking ready to dominate. Then there were the erotic visuals in the video of people chained up, licking each other, kissing, and other titillating positions. I get aroused just thinking about it.
Lately there has been alot of conversation about S&M especially due to the overwhelming popular book, Shades of Grey. Thee is however a lack of real knowledge about this fetish. There are so many myths floating around it can scare people away from it. Let's break it down and keep it real.
S&M stands for two words, sadism and masochism, which refers to the receiving of pleasure from consensual sexual acts involving the infliction of pain and/or humiliation. There is a world of pleasure filled opportunities that fall into S&M play. This can include: spanking, whipping, slapping, hickeys, biting, and other sexual activities. The amount of pain required to achieve sexual arousal between individuals who participate in S&M varies from mild to severe pain with some even getting off on being mutilated.
The term sadomasochism comes from a combo of two sex driven aristocrat writers, Marquis de Sade and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.
Most people have heard of the French writer Marquis de Sade, due to his reputation of being a libertine who took his writing to intense sexual
levels. His books covered various forms of sexuality, you name it and he wrote about it. His work was centered on sadist behavior (inflicting pain) where normally the sex was non consensual in most cases. His works include Justine, Juliette, and 120 Days of Sodomy. De Sade spent about 32 years of his life in insane asylums for his scandalous writing, numerous sexual assaults, and poisoning several women with the Spanish fly right before he had anal sex with them. To this day de Sade is one of world's most famous misogynistic pornographers.
Leopold Sacher-Masoch was a Baron who wrote the book Venus in Furs which was the game changer for S&M. The book is what is known to have established the concept of mistress and slave dynamics. It is said that during his childhood, Sacher-Masoch heard stories of cruelty from his wet nurse and father which lead him to begin his fantasies of dominating women. In 1886 the psychiatrist and sexologist, Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing, coined the term "masochism" in his book Psychopathia Sexualis. Before Sacher-Masoch's death in an asylum, masochism was already included in medical dictionary as a psychosexual disorder which a person derives pleasure by having his/her sexual partner inflict physical or emotional pain.

I have a yellow knockout that is several years old and has always performed as a knockout should. However, this year, it has buds and blooms half way up a bush that is about 7 feet tall and the top is green and healthy but no buds or blooms. I fertilized it as I did all my roses with 14-4-14 and none of them are doing this. I have around 600 roses but this has me baffled. Can anybody help me? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Usually the solution to blind shoots is to cut them back some and let them grow out again. The second time around they should put on buds. If you had a bad winter or any kind of odd weather during the spring growing season it could by why it put on so much blind growth. |
I'm assuming the proper name is 'Sunny Knock Out'. I'm also assuming that you bought the rose as a grafted/budded plant. What may have happened is that a sucker of the rootstock (probably 'Dr. Huey') has grown, and that is the tall cane you're seeing with no flower buds. 'Dr. Huey' blooms on old wood, and naturally grows as a small climber. Look at your rose to see if the tall cane is coming from below the graft/bud union. If so, it needs to be removed. :-) ~Christopher |

Still no response on brand of wider glitter tape from Savannah Starr? bobbyb
I don't mean to be a problem BUT I had alreadt checked with these sources. They all carry American Craft and their largest width is 7/8". This looks to be at least 2" or more. Coulde it be some kind of industrial glitter tape. Thank you so much for helping me. I think you can see the convenience of a wider tape that can also take the decoupage. Can you jusy ask Savannah where it comes from??? Hope so...bobbyb
What brand is the glitter tape? Where can it be purchased? The width is perfect for the empty tin cans. Where, oh, where is it? Love the idea------Bob-B-Bee

O.k So our Overstaying housemate is finally moving out tonight. Anyway he has asked to have access to the pantry to take some food with him.
I am thinking the following: 1. No you work, there is only you I have 3 to think about and limited income 2. You have not paid me rent in 3 weeks, and still be eating our food. Bottom line I am think no bloody way. WWYD??? #2Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:36 AM
Yeah, that would be a big fat no from me.
#3Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:37 AM
I'm with you PBQ - sounds like complete free loader...
#4Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:37 AM
I think that he has a cheek to even ask. Point him in the direction of the nearest woolies.
#5Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:37 AM
What a cheek
You tell him a big fat NO I just can't believe he would even ask ! I'm shocked, and lost for words #6 Guest_Nyz31_*Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:37 AM
Give him $10 and tell him to stock up on noodles.
I wouldn't be giving him access unless I was there with him, keeping an eye on what he was taking. #7Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:39 AM
Sure, when he back pays the 3 weeks owing, he can then take any food he paid for in the pantry.
#8Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:39 AM
Tell him he can ONLY when he pays the three weeks rent/lodgings. This way it will highlight to him he has already taken advantage of you and is cheeky in asking this favour.
#9Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:41 AM
I'd be going through the cupboard and giving him all the things that are in there that I don't like or are out of date
#10 Guest_NinjahKitteh_*Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:41 AM
PBQ, this shouldn't even be a question in your mind, babes - NO WAY, DUDE!
#11Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:46 AM
A simple "No you will not be stealing the food from my children's mouths... " should suffice.
Good grief, the utter gall of the man. #12Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:47 AM
Write down Woolworths' address if he wants a pantry.
What an a*se! He is freeloading and taking advantage of a grieving widow. Very lowest of the low. Are there any of your DH's friends who can come around to help you give him his marching orders? #13Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:47 AM
He's got a lot of balls to even ask that!!!!
Edited by Maple Leaf, 23 February 2012 - 10:48 AM. #14Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:50 AM
His name isn't Carl, is it?
I think you need to tell him you are shocked he would even request that - he has been a selfish inconsiderate pig that has been a leech and has taken advantage of your kind nature. If he had any self respect and decency, he'd be repaying you any money he owed. I think you need to type up an invoice for him and bill him for the unpaid board. #15Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:52 AM QUOTE (Vaginosaurus-Rex @ 23/02/2012, 11:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Write down Woolworths' address if he wants a pantry.

Wont be needed, as after what we found out on the day of DH's funeral, if he is not out by tonight he will be physically removed, either by police or by my BIL or both, he is lucky BIL did rip his head off on Monday. #16Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:52 AM
No. No, no, no.
What a cheek. #17Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:53 AM
After I'd finished telling him what a bizarre and rude request it was, I'd follow up with asking when he's going to be coming by to give me the money he owes me.
#18Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:56 AM
I don't think anyone here is going to say he should take stuff from the pantry. He should pay you his three weeks rent he owes and even then, shouldn't even need to ask to take anything. He has had enough help from you and your late husband and overstayed his welcome.
I hope you stick to your guns and say no. #19Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:56 AM QUOTE (Pupalumps @ 23/02/2012, 11:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> After I'd finished telling him what a bizarre and rude request it was, I'd follow up with asking when he's going to be coming by to give me the money he owes me.

What a plonker!
No no and a thousand times no. He is no friend to have taken advantage of you in the way he has and now it is an outright pi55 take. Tell him to sling his hook and buy his own bloody food. #21Posted 23 February 2012 - 10:58 AM

I think I would have laughed in his face!
The answer from me would have been a big fat NO! #24Posted 23 February 2012 - 11:01 AM
Does he have evidence of said loan?
If not, he is going to have to write it off, and take that as a hard lesson learnt that you never lend money to someone without proper documentation in place. #25Posted 23 February 2012 - 11:06 AM QUOTE (Gloriosa @ 23/02/2012, 12:00 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh my god!

f you are a Tax Update reader, come see me (Hi, Kevin!). You qualify for a discount! Well, not really, but I can get you a free postcard from the DNR Chickadee Checkoff booth…
Have a nice day. We're All Flies in the IRS's Widening Web. Megan McArdle on the IRS's sudden turnabout on asset seizures stealing from innocent businesses after the New York Times reported on it:
It's as if the IRS just noticed that they were grotesquely abusing their power in order to punish people who appear to have done nothing actually wrong. Did this not occur to them when the victims' lawyers pointed it out? Did none of their thousands of employees wonder aloud whether they really needed to make war on America's college funds?
I'm sure it was forced on them by budget cuts.
So think about what has happened to our government agencies. We passed a law, to raise taxes, or curb the usage of addicting drugs. That law didn't work as well as we wanted, because a lot of people were evading it. So we passed new laws, to make it easier to enforce the original one, like requiring banks to report all transactions over $10,000. And then people evaded that, so we made another rule … and now people who had no criminal intent find themselves coughing up tens of thousands of dollars they shouldn't owe.
There's a lot of that in the tax law. FATCA and the FBAR foreign financial account reporting requirements are classic examples of laws nominally aimed at big-time tax evaders that destroy the finances of thousands of innocent foot-faulters.
As in the case of the fly, we were better off leaving the original ailment alone. No, I'm not saying that we shouldn't try to catch tax evasion. I'm saying we shouldn't try so hard that we end up criminalizing a lot of innocent behavior. There are worse things than a country with some tax fraud. And one of those things is a government with vast and arbitrary power to punish people who have done no wrong.
And a willingness to use it carelessly.

New in Town: Pera Turkish Kitchen
Far North Dallas has a charming new Turkish restaurant, named for a famous Istanbul hotel. An early visit was most promising — beginning with a trio of appetizers, including creamy cacik,zippy saksuka (an eggplant salad with zucchini, carrots and tomato sauce) and soulful house-made dolma, plus terrific just-baked rounds of bread. There's an appealing selection of kebabs, including adana, ground lamb with spices, plus fire-roasted quail, grilled branzino and more traditional Turkish dishes. The owners, brothers Sam and Habib Sensel (Habib is chef) also have a restaurant in Arlington, Istanbul Grill. At Pera, it is bring your own wine, for now.

The Best of Denver, April 1, 2010
Every year, I wait for the Best of Denver, which I read cover to cover and then keep until the next year. And every year, I also wait for the letters the week after the Best of Denver, to see what people are going to complain about this time.
I read the letter from Three First Names Bergman last week, and I vehemently disagree. I love the cow! Keep the cow! Seeing how you use the mascot each year is one of the best things about the Best of Denver.
Stacey Frankel
Yes, Park Burger has the Best Fries! I don't know the spot that John Johnson was talking about in his letter last week, but I'm willing to bet that no Lone Tree restaurant has fries as good as those at Park Burger. In fact, I'm willing to bet that no Lone Tree restaurant has fries as good as those at McDonald's — the readers' choice.
Put up or shut up, Johnson.
Art Garcia
We are the proud recipients of a Best Of award from back in 1994. We bear that honor publicly and proudly (we can't elaborate, as this letter will most likely affect our chances in the Best of Denver 2011). But we are a bit disgruntled with the way you presented this year's entries and the lack of special instructions in which to fulfill our submissions.... We honestly thought that our submission to you, already having the distinction of the 1994 Best Of award, would have been welcomed as "award" worthy in that particular category, especially with all the new advancements that we have made. But where's the category? It's not there this year. A door that didn't open. It's YOUR category; we merely focused our submissions based on that particular category. How about a vote for inconsistency? Our observation is this: Although the first 100 or so questions on the Readers' Poll are legitimate, The Best...It's Up to You category is smelling more like a stink hole created to suck unsuspecting readers in to participate in your silly survey.
The Best Of issue is a great concept, but it should be implemented with all of your readers' best interests in mind, not just Westword's. After all, you're asking US to give our time to participate; we think YOU should, too. You have the whole following year in which to exploit your interests, and us? We have a whole year to try to figure Westword's mandatory info needed in order to give our next year's submission credibility in a category already created by YOU and previously won by US. Please be specific about what's really "up to you" in the Readers' Poll.... Please address this issue publicly in an upcoming Westword for all us Best Of veterans and Best Of new-timers. I'm sure we're not the only Westword readers deceived by this. We'd all like to share in the same opportunity for recognition. Denver's our home...we're all in this together. Show us that more than just insiders can play, too.
Name withheld
Editor's note: There's more, lots more, to the letter from the Best of Denver 1994 winner, but the concerns basically boil down to two questions. First, if a category appears one year, why doesn't it repeat? Short answer: The Best of Denver would become very, very repetitive if we always featured the same categories; although we repeat some, we rotate out many more. And second, do we actually pay attention to the Best...It's Up to You category on the Readers' Poll? Yes, we do — at least a dozen of the awards we gave this year grew out of suggestions on the Readers' Poll — and many more of those suggestions may appear in next year's issue, after we do more research. The Best of Denver is not a popular election. If it were, we'd all be reading a lot more about McDonald's french fries.
"Last Call," Michael Paglia, April 8
Michael Paglia's closing comments that vinyl discs are obsolete and nothing more than trash hit a nerve. Albums certainly hit bottom for a while, but if you want evidence of the medium's resurgence, go to Twist & Shout and check out the racks of new vinyl. As an added bonus, one could spend as productive an afternoon viewing the cover artwork as making the rounds of Denver's finest museums and galleries.
Rupert Jenkins
For Christ's sake, will you guys find a decent, starving restaurant critic already? Enough of the Rockies-esque rotation.
I'm fed (no pun intended) up with flowery essays regarding "invite-only" tasting dinners, critiques of restaurants only catering to people who wipe their asses with Ben Franklin's face, and pseudo-authors already too full of themselves to give an objective review on where to get a decent meal.
Really? A whole column dedicated to cheese? If I wanted to read that crap, I'd subscribe to "GQ" — Gruyère Quarterly.
Hooray for the Best of Denver issue! Now I know where the other 99 percent of Colorado really eats.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

* Senator Schumer sees bill passing 'resoundingly'
* Schumer says China getting way with 'economic murder'
* Key provision treats currency undervaluation as subsidy
* Other penalties kick in if undervaluation not corrected (Adds quotes
from Schumer, paragraph 5-6; Chinese foreign minister, paragraphs 8-9)
By Doug Palmer
WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - A bipartisan group of U.S. senators on
Thursday predicted the Senate would overwhelmingly pass a bill next month
to crack down on China currency practices they blame for millions of lost
American jobs.
"When countries like China manipulate their currencies, that's not
competing. That's cheating," Senator Sherrod Brown told reporters at a
news conference to unveil the bill.
The legislation combines two earlier bipartisan measures -- one championed
by Democratic Senator Charles Schumer and Republican Senator Lindsey
Graham; the other by Brown, a Democrat, and Senator Olympia Snowe, a
Schumer said he expected the bill to pass "resoundingly" early in October
when lawmakers return from a break.
"Economists of all stripes agree: China illegally subsidizes their
industries, they underpay their workers, they skirt environmental
regulations and ignore the tenets of global trade rule after trade rule,"
he said.
"They get away with economic murder, and thus far our country has said,
'Oh, we don't care," Schumer said.
The bill is sure to increase tensions with China, although it would have a
long road to travel before becoming law. Policymakers are already worried
Europe's debt crisis could undermine global growth; a trade war would be
further trouble.
China's Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, attending a United Nations meeting
in New York, did not directly address the currency issue but urged
"Economic and trade issues should not be politicized and trade and
investment protectionism should be rejected," he said in a speech to
business leaders.
Key Republicans in the House of Representatives have indicated a go-slow
approach to the China currency issue, and Schumer acknowledged President
Barack Obama does not support the bill.
The bill's sponsors, which include Republican senators Jeff Sessions and
Richard Burr and Democratic senators Robert Casey and Debbie Stabenow,
argued an undervalued Chinese currency had created an unfair trade playing
field for U.S. producers.
"This is about making sure we are exporting our products instead of our
jobs," Stabenow said.
House Democrats seized on the Senate action to demand Republican leaders
schedule a vote in their chamber.
"This legislation has broad bipartisan support in the House and there's no
excuse for inaction," said Representative Sander Levin, the top Democrat
on the House Ways and Means Committee.
A main provision would direct the Commerce Department to treat currency
undervaluation as a subsidy under U.S. trade law. That would allow
companies to seek countervailing duties on Chinese goods on a case-by-case
The House passed that same provision last year on a bipartisan vote of
348-79. Since then, control of that chamber has shifted from Democrats to
Republicans, who are more closely aligned with business interests that
argue for open trade.
But Levin, the House bill's chief sponsor, has reintroduced the
legislation and it currently has 145 Democratic and 56 Republican
co-sponsors. That is just 17 short of the 218 votes needed for House
The left-leaning Economic Policy Institute estimated in a report this week
that the huge U.S. trade gap with China has cost the United States 2.8
million jobs over the past decade.
The U.S.-China Business Council, which represents American companies that
do business with China, said the report was based "on the faulty
assumption that every product imported from China would have been made in
the U.S. otherwise."
A group of 51 business and farm groups, including the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce and the Business Roundtable of corporate chief executives, also
have warned of the possible adverse effects of passing a bill.
"Legislation that would increase tariffs on imports from China is unlikely
to create any incentive for China to move expeditiously to modify its
exchange policies," the groups said in a letter to lawmakers on Wednesday.
"Rather, it would likely have the opposite effect and result in
retaliation against U.S. exports into China -- currently the
fastest-growing market for U.S. exports."
China rejects criticism that it deliberately undervalues its yuan currency
to give its companies a price advantage in international markets. It says
it is committed to moving to a more flexible exchange rate, but at its own
Last week, China's Foreign Ministry urged U.S lawmakers not to resort to
"excuses" for trade protectionism after U.S. Senate Democratic leader
Harry Reid said he planned to push legislation to pressure China to loosen
its currency controls.
The bill would also change a law that requires the Treasury Department to
evaluate every six months whether any country is manipulating its currency
for an unfair trade advantage.
Instead, it requires the Treasury to identify countries with
"fundamentally misaligned" currencies -- a lower threshold -- and
establishes actions that designation would trigger, some immediately and
others after 3 months or a year.
Companies would not have to wait for that to ask the Commerce Department
to impose countervailing duties. However, such a finding would strengthen
their case, Schumer said.
One immediate consequence would be mandatory U.S. opposition to any
changes in the governance structure of the International Monetary Fund
that would benefit a country with a currency deemed to be fundamentally
After a year, the U.S. Trade Representative's office would be required to
file a case at the World Trade Organization and the Treasury Department
would be required to consult with the Federal Reserve and other central
banks to consider remedial intervention in currency markets. (Additional

Fuel system plays a vital role in the movement of your vehicle. The oxygen sensor is a major component which controls the fuel as well as the ignition system. The main responsibility of the BMW 735 oxygen sensor is to inspect the fuel/air ratio level in order to send the information to the computer. The oxygen sensor is usually located in the exhaust manifold and it has two ends. The one end of the sensor finds the level of mixture where the other end pass the information to the computer.
The primary function of the BMW 735 oxygen sensor is to act according to the air/fuel ratio level. The engine computer maintains the correct ratio level and protects an engine from getting damaged. Rich mixture creates pollution because of the unburnt fuel where in case of lean mixture, it produce more nitrogen-oxide pollutants. If the oxygen sensor in your BMW 735 malfunctions, you need to replace it at the earliest. At Car Parts Warehouse we have OEM replacement and aftermarket parts at very much affordable prices. Our replacement parts are good in quality and also will perform effectively.

A 1996 book by Chuck Palahniuk.
One of the bizarre tales told by Leo Strauss in his interesting book is about the Frenchman Isaac de la Peyrère (1596–1676). He is the formulator of the rather strange "Adamite theory," which he and others used to explain the origin of humanity. Sadly, people also used it in a racist manner to disparage many cultures and people, such as African Americans, who they considered "pre-Adamites."
La Peyrère's Adamite theory contends that a race of people existed before Adam. He supported his notion by referring to the two creation stories in Genesis 1 and 2. The first states that God created man and woman simultaneously. The second has the woman being drawn from Adam's side. He explained that Genesis 1 is speaking of the creation of a pre-Adam race, which was far inferior to Adam. Genesis 2, he insisted, depicts the origin of Adam and his descendants, a perfect race containing the seed of all that is truly human.
He was also convinced that Paul's Epistle to the Romans proved his theory. In the Epistle, Paul wrote that Adam sinned. If Adam sinned, there must have been a law that existed before Adam that he violated. This was the law of the pre-Adamites. He felt that his theory explained how Cain was able to find a wife (among the pre-Adam civilization), why Cain built a city (to house his family and people from the pre-Adam race), and why some people are inferior to others.

Welcome to the XMM-Newton Science Operations Centre
The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.

Caught in the act: collision of two galaxy clusters ends almost deadly, 16-Jan-2015
Recent observations of the galaxy cluster RXCJ2359.5-6042 with the XMM-Newton space observatory reveal evidence for an ongoing merger that strips the smaller system of much of its gas. Further details on the MPE portal and on National Geographic's pages. La materia oscura es la más abundante en el universo, y aún así sigue siendo una gran desconocida. Nunca ha sido detectada directamente, pues es por ahora invisible, y de ella solo se sabe que su fuerza de gravedad influye en el resto de objetos del universo.

SOLE F63 Treadmill
Great Product
I love this treadmill! All the features it has are amazing and easy to use. Super quiet on all speeds!!
January 27, 2015
Excellent value
This treadmill offers a lot of features (3.0HP motor, 2.5" rollers) found on higher end treadmills. After using it for the past couple of weeks it's very solid (I'm 210 lbs.). The controls are very well laid out. The only issue is when the incline is high12-15% incline, a taller person (I'm 6'3") has trouble reaching down to the bars when needed. This is not an issue for my 5' wife. Overall it;s highly recommended. The installer/serviceman stated he rarely services a Sole versus other brands, so that was reassuring.
January 24, 2015
Love the treadmill
We've had the treadmill for about a week and a half or so, and we love it. I'm 215 lbs and my wife is around 130. So far most of what I have been doing is walking (hill climbing) and that has worked out well. I tend to go for 40 minutes at a shot. My wife tends to do a mix of walking and running for shorter durations.Things I like: 1) the display is easy to read and understand, 2) the treadmill comes with a heart rate monitor and you can set up a program to maintain your heart rate in a certain zone (I actually haven't tried doing this yet), or 3) you can program in a customized program (speed and incline), 4) there are speed and incline controls on the handrails, 5) the bed has a suspension system to cushion your footsteps, and 6) it is relatively quiet (my wife can use it down in the basement in the mornings and it doesn't wake me up). Things I didn't like: 1) The cooling fans are useless, 2) the bed suspension system developed an annoying squeak after a couple hours of use, 3) the heartrate handlebars are too low to be used while trying to do anything more than an easy walk, 4) the belt is showing signs of wear after about 15-20 hours of use, and finally, 5) the treadmill delivery was inconvenient (took a week and a half to get delivered and the time window for delivery was some time between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on a weekday, which meant I had to stay home from work for the better part of a day). That said, we are enjoying the treadmill and are very glad we got it. It comes in handy on those frosty nights and mornings.
January 23, 2015
great product
Highly recommend and have been very pleased so far as this has been a replacement to another brand used for many uears. Was not familiar with Sole products but did research and have been very impressed.
January 22, 2015
Sole F63
In-store service was good; we opted for the delivery and home setup. Both happened very quickly. I've only been able to use it twice since buying it due to illness. However, both times it worked great, and I think I will be very happy for years to come. Motor is quiet, love the quick controls on the handlebars. Heart rate monitor is convenient. Overall a good product, good price, recommend to serious home users.
January 21, 2015
So far so good
Love this thing, it was easy to put together even with the "help" of our two year old. Solid machine, excellent programs. Plus we paid just over $800. I did a lot of research and testing and this just fit our needs.
January 21, 2015
Terrible to get started
After unpacking and assembling it took 4 days to get to work. Talk to company did not help found a blog on Internet to fix. Very disappointed
January 21, 2015
A great treadmill for home use. I would recommend it to my friends.
A great treadmill for home use. I would recommend it to my friends. Great construction . Great quality . The speakers arw a nice add.
January 21, 2015
So far, not so good . . .
We bought the treadmill on December 19th. I used it twice, and then . . . it has been broken since then! The process of getting an evaluation, ordering parts, waiting for them to arrive, scheduling service, has been tiresome and taken far too long. Today is January 20 and I have another service scheduled for this Thursday. If this fix doesn't work, I plan to return to treadmill. I had been looking forward to this purchase. Sad consumer.
January 20, 2015
Nice product
Like the treadmill and foresee it serving its purpose for us. Only concern is that there was a light squeaking notice from day 1 on speed 2.5 and lower. That will be a constant annoyance.

Hi Carlos!

Thanks for listening!
I was a bit vague on synthesis until I recently read Fred Welsh's
synth cookbook which definitely clarified a number of things for me
and I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their sound design
skills. I have written a guide on how to use Fred's book if you are a
Linux user which you can read here:
There could well be some equally good but free synthesis guides on the
web but I decided just to buy this book after reading its many rave
reviews and recomendations.

I did next to no tweaking or config of samplv1 in this track- just
made sure my samples were correctly edited and pitched. I've yet to
try any of samplv1's FX or automation features yet.

This palette is a great addition to your collection. Its quality is comparable to higher-end, it lasts on your eyelids, isn't chalky at all and is very pigmented. However, I have an issue with the packaging which mainly keeps me from repurchasing this. I have purchased this palette three times and I always eventually end up dropping it and it immediately cracks and most of the shadows are not salvageable at that point. However, it isn't that big of a deal because it's so cheap, but at that point, I would rather pay the extra money for protective packaging.
I love this palette. I bought it specifically for the lower right color. It's an amazing blue brown dupe. I am pleasantly surprised by the rest of the colors too. What a steal for under $5
More reviews by lovelovelilacs
The quality and colours of the eyeshadows in this palette are amazing. They are smooth and blendable to work with. The browbone shades are a little chalky and there is some glitter fall out with the shimmery shades but it's alright given the amazing price. My favourite palette for easy everyday looks!
The more neutral side is perfect for an everyday look and the green side offers some great shades too. The pigmentation is great as is the great price. Definitely would buy again and again
More reviews by TRACYWILSON225
Awesome palette that I got on sale at Walgreen's for $2.50. Great texture and huge color payoff. I wish they would have included a few matte colors instead of all pearlized. I will never pay high dollar for makeup anymore. All of the W&W colors give those other high dollar companies a run for their money.

I bought this for the 3rd time at Walmart today and I'm so happy to have it back in my make up bag! I've tried many different shadows throughout the years and so far this has been my all time favorite pallet. Every shadow is very pigmented and typically lasts 7-8 hours on my lids WITHOUT primer. Definitely the pallet for you if you're looking for a neutral look.
The colors in this look so nice, and the price was right, so i picked it up, along with a couple other WnW palettes.
Makes my eyes feel like they're on fire!!! I used to have this sort of problem in the 1970s, but haven't for at least 20 years, so it was quite a shock.
And all the other WnW e/s palettes do the same. I won't be buying WnW palettes again, i can't stand the pain.

I got this from allcosmeticswholesale.com for $5 and was so ready to try it when I got it, because so many reviews from MUAlley-ers and youtube gurus can't be wrong, right? They're not, because all the colors are lovely: Before I begin, these are not matte at all, there's a somewhat metalic sheen to them. Top left: a buttery pale yellow, 2nd left: a peachy bronze, 3rd left: a pale bordering on gold kinda bronze, bottom left: darker bronze with microflecs of red in it. Top right: a pale taupe, 2nd right: sage, 3rd right: a dark smokey sage, and bottom right: a color that was my fav because its unexplainable - a dark, duochrome blueish-green; if you got an imagination like I do, it would remind you of the scales on a mermaid tail, very pretty color. I rubbed them on each finger, and then on my left arm - soft, gorgeous and VERY pigmented; took some elbow grease to get them off. They looked fantastic against my NC 45-50 skin, but uh- on my face was another story. They say earth tones flatter us darker women, but not me. :( If these colors were more deep and richer, I'd look fantastic but I just looked ill and washed out. I made the mistake of trying this pallette when I went out on a date and I was "friendzoned" LOL, albeit I was, I doubt the eyeshadow had anything to do with it. I'm sure it looks amazing on other women, but yeah, no. Not this one, not for me.
