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.

Sources have confirmed that three "Zetitas" who were arrested in Matamoros
last week have been killed in a prison riot.
Mexican authorities said only that three men, all aged 18 to 20 years old,
died over the weekend in a riot at the Matamoros State Prison, called
CEDES, in the rural area known as Santa Adelaida.
The men died from blunt force trauma and from stab wounds from makeshift
knives, according to a law enforcement official who asked not to be named
because of security concerns.
The official wouldn't comment on the identity of the slain men but did say
they were new to the prison.
However, a source with firsthand knowledge of criminal activity in
Matamoros said the slain men were the three "Zetitas" who were arrested by
police on Thursday.
The term "Zetita" refers to the criminal organization's young foot
The source said that the three men had been ordered to "stir things up" in
Matamoros, including performing terrorist acts. It was said that they had
orders to kill high-ranking police officials, including the commander of
the Tamaulipas state police in Matamoros.
According to information released by Tamaulipas state police at the time
of last week's arrest, the three men detained were identified as Jose
Alberto "El Chee" Hernandez, Juan Rodrigo "El Cano" Vasquez, and Tomas "El
Rata" Garcia Pereira.
They reportedly were arrested after a chase through the streets of
Matamoros that began along Avenida del Nino and ended on Villa De Cortez
Mexican authorities claimed the three men were responsible for a string of
recent grenade attacks including one at the Matamoros City Hall and one at
the Mexican Army downtown headquarters.
During a search of their vehicle, authorities found three AK-47 assault
rifles and five grenades. The rifles were tested and found to have been
the weapons used last month to murder two Matamoros police officers,
authorities said.
Juan Antonio Sanchez Diaz and Joaquin Ramos Miranda were found inside
their patrol vehicle along the highway to Playa Bagdad in late November.
Two days after the murder, state police officers arrested 32-year-old
Arnulfo Hernandez Rodriguez, who has been charged for his role in the

New York's skies: safe or 'too congested'?
In the wake of Saturday's midair collision, seven New York lawmakers on Monday pushed the Federal Aviation Administration to enforce stricter flight rules in the Hudson River corridor.
Shannon Stapleton/Reuters
New York
The midair collision of a small airplane and a tourism helicopter over the Hudson River Saturday is opening the broader question of whether the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) should regulate low-flying flights in busy urban corridors.
Advocates who want the FAA to take greater control say it's simply too crowded in some airspaces, such as New York or Los Angeles. They argue small planes and helicopters need to have transponders so they can be seen on radar, as well as collision-avoidance systems that warn pilots when the wander too near another aircraft. Moreover, they want pilots to file flight plans, just like pilots on large commercial craft.
Opponents maintain that one fatal accident over the Hudson River does not make the skies unsafe. They maintain the industry is already highly regulated, and the nation should wait to see what the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) recommends.
"I don't know if politicizing of the tragedy is the best way to go about this," says Robert Grotell, special adviser to the Eastern Region Helicopter Council.

Commission member John Montano witnessed the test and is waiting on a report from the expert. Lang had hoped to have Morrison fight this Friday night in a four-round bout, but has stated that Morrison injured his hand sparring last Saturday and will need to have a x-ray. They will continue to pursue the license in the hopes that Morrison will fight in February, barring serious injury to the hand. Montano has also stipulated that due to his age, he will also need to see Morrison spar before any sort of consideration can be made for a license. Morrison has not fought in ten years after testing positive for HIV, which he is now claiming was a false-positive. Morrison has had many troubling incidents outside the ring, including prison time. His professional record is 46-3-1.

2000-2011 Chevrolet Malibu
mr_bots Posts: 231I don't think there is much of a difference, the 3.5L has 200hp @ 5200rpm and 220lb-ft @ 4400rpm. While the 3.8L has 200hp @ 5200rpm and 225lb-ft @ 4000rpm. So the only difference is a little more torque at a slightly lower rpm, but the Malibu is rated as being faster in all the magazines I've compared the two in, and gets better gas mileage.
tamu2002 Posts: 758shell's V-power gas? We're relocating next week across the country (2200 miles). Maybe the V-power gas gives better gas milage? Today I crawled under our 02 LS and changed the engine oil with Mobile 1 fully synthetic oil. I'm also gonna inflate all 4 tires to 33psi. Would be interesting to see how much the gas milage improves with all this. So far with 18K miles, the car still runs like new. We tinted all the window for $140 the other day. We're loving our Malibu. But I have to say we're a little jealous about you folks driving the NEW Malibu. My wife REALLY likes the new styling, which I find unique (which is good) rather than anything else.
tamu2002 Posts: 758Not so fast my friend. I actually admire Hyundai a lot for their progress. The Sonota is a very decent car, especially at that price. The Elantra is a reliable solid car as well. I loved the previous generation Tiburon's styling, but the new one is very handsome too.
While you're at it, check out the new generation Kia Spectrum too. It's based on the same platform as the Elantra and has standard features such as side and curtain airbags! Car&Driver gave it a very good review. -
GBrianK Posts: 211I have owned a W body car (Olds Intrigue), which is the same as the GP, and is platform is 16 years old (first used in 1988). Listen to Venus537, you're better off with the new Malibu or the G6. Both are off the a new Epsilon platform from Europe which is share by many other GM divisions (Opel, SAAB, Holden, Vauxhall, Saturn, etc...). I have driven the Malibu V6 and liked it. Sure the steering is a little lighter (electric rather than hydraulic, saps less power from the engine), but it gets better fuel economy, sits higher up and the materials are light years ahead of the older GM products.
If you have access to Consumer Reports, check their fuel economy ratings.... The Malibu kicks the GP in the pants by 6 mpg overall, out accelerates it by .2 second, stops faster and is cheaper. -
mjohns7861 Posts: 41I believe my '99 Malibu has this problem - intake manifold gasket. Had previously seen a minor leak of coolant by the engine. It has since stopped. I had to add coolant. Is there a definitive test I can ask my auto shop to run to diagnose this problem? My 'bu has 41K miles.
Also, my ABS light comes on periodically for reasons unknown. Anyone know what the deal is here?
Thanks! -
kris10 Posts: 21Thanks everyone for all the help! I really appreciate it! Now I have another question.
I posted this on the Malibu Care & Maintenance board but only got one reply.
Anyone here have a Malibu with the Ultralux seats?Do these seats get dirty easily? Are they easy to clean? How well do you think they will hold up say, over 5 years? I went and test drove another Malibu. This one was an LT with gray Ultralux. I liked it a lot and am thinking about purchasing it but was wondering about the seats? I don't have any kids (a possibility in the future), so that is not an issue. I liked the feel of them better than the cloth. I thought they were a lot more comfortable, but I don't want them to be a constant pain!
Thanks again!
Kristen -
yurakm Posts: 1,345Concerning the intake manifold gasket:
Pressure test the coolant system. It will find coolant leak, if any. Used to cost $20-25, 4-2 years ago, probably still not expensive. I did it at dealer and at local Firestone.
By the way, the car manual recommends to do the pressure test yearly. I have a 1998 Malibu.
I know nothing about ABS, except that the parts are expensive. -

tamu2002 Posts: 758Good point on the GP. My mentality has been:if I like how it drives in terms of ride and handling. Who cares what's underneath or what self-omportant auto reviewers say? Why pay the premium for something you can't appreciate?
(I know Venus really cares about keeping up with the latest stuff No offense intended, could you really FEEL it?)
As far as hyundais go, you do have a point. For example, even though the Sanata has the best initial quality in its class, its long term reliability leaves a lot to be desired. Its the 2001 Malibu that has the best reliability in its class beating Camcords per J D Power. I can see why judging by our 02 LS. -
tamu2002 Posts: 758We're still in the middle of our cross country trip. But thought I'd give an update anyway since the hotel offers free internet.
So far with newly changed synthetic oil and premium gas, we averaged 24-32 mpg in so far 1400 miles. We drove from Indiana west on 94 and 90 through WI, ND, MT, and ID. In all, we ascended 6000 some feet in elevation and were running against fairly strong wind the whole time. The low 24 mpg was obtained on one leg of the trip in NORTH Dakota doing consistently 85 mph. The rest of those miles averaged around 30 mpg doing 75-85 mph. I'm sure the 85 mph speed must've hurt the milage a lot.
Since we drove through a lot of mountainous terrain, I had an interesting observation of how the cruise control worked. When going up not too steep uphills, the transmission didn't downshft untill the car almost made it over the hill, which was quite strange because at that point there really wasn't a need to catch up with the speed anymore. On steep hills the cruise control always downshifted very readily.
I couldn't find shell stations so can't comment on their V-power gas. BTW, maybe using premium gas actually hurt the gas milage as well? -
kenneth Posts: 13
tricky73 Posts: 132I experienced exactly the same problem with my 2004 Malibu as reported in the Edmunds report of August 2004. So far, my contacts with GM seem to indicate their interest is only to see if it was repaired correctly. I am 76 years old and have concern about the frequency of this malfunction (also reported by others) as it relates to older people being able to safely bring this vehicle to a safe stop after the failure...there is no warning re the onset, and I am convinced an elderly woman lacks sufficient strength to operate the vehicle after the failure
bporter1 Posts: 229Hey Tamu2002, forgive me for asking but what year Malibu do you own? I agree with the above post that if GM does not require premium gas, you are not only wasting your money, but the engine will run a little hotter. Only vehicles that are designed to run on premium gas should the owners buy premium gas. I own a 99 Regal GSE and GM does require the premium fuel because of the supercharger. I can run lower octane gas in my car because the engine has knock sensors, but they also reduce the power output of the engine.
mr_bots Posts: 231If you put premium gas in a car that is designed to run on regular you aren't doing anything but paying more for gas. Doing this doesn't effect anything, performance, fuel economy, you name it. Also, in some cases premium fuel in a regular fuel designed car hurts engine performance and efficiency. So don't spend the extra money for premium fuel in your Malibu, it is designed to use regular fuel and runs just as good on regular and regular is cheaper.
jcaylor Posts: 4I have 2004 malibu LS mfg. in oct. 2003 and have had a power steering failure also.The dealer replaced the steering column in aug. I'am curious to know if anyone else has had this problem. The steering system is mfg. by the Delphi corp. and if anyone knows if the replace steering column is any better than the original one. As of 9/20 there are over 65 complaints on the NHTSA web site along with there on going investigation into this dangerous problem.
jcaylor Posts: 4Dear e2helper: Where did you obtain your infromation on the corrected time for the electrical assist power steering correction. I had a power steering failure on my 2004 malibu LS and the dealer replaced the steering column. I contacted gm and delphi and they would not give me any information to the fact that the replacement column had been corrected.

tamu2002 Posts: 758Well I actually kinda agree with you all's comments. I was aware of all that but thought I'd give it a try to see what happens. One theory for occasional usage of premium is that the added detergent in premium gas helps clear out the fuel injection system a bit, which is also what Shell's V-power advertisement says. But that might just be marketing.
Another main reason is my company is paying for our move (including gas money I hope), so it'll be a free experiment
So far from what I can observe, the engine runs about the same as far as temp and RPMs. The mileage numbers make sense too considering the driving conditions. I'll go back to regular after this long haul.
BTW, we have a 2002 LS with 20K miles. -
bigdaddycoats Posts: 1,058I think I read that you have driven the G6. Have you driven the Malibu as well??
Here is my question - is the steering "tighter" on the G6 than the Malibu?
My father has a Malibu and really likes the electric steering. For my tastes it is way over assisted. It would seem to me that the G6 should have a tighter calibration to go with the "sporty" nature of Pontiac. I -
e2helper Posts: 1,002I have driven both (actually I drove both a Malibu sedan and a Maxx) but there was a pretty large gap of time between them and so this is only my recollection.
The G6 steering has a "tighter" feel than the Malibu like you expected. It still has the variable assist based on speed so parking lot manuevers are still a breeze but not as much as with the Malibu from what I remember.
What is so cool about the electrical power assist steering is how they can easily calibrate it to go with the "nature" of vehicle. The physical parts are the same but they just modify the calibration to give different feels for each model. -
bigdaddycoats Posts: 1,058Another question: The ION and the ION Red Line both use the same type of steering as the Bu and G6. For the Red Line the steering is much tighter, but the amount of steering wheel travel from lock to lock is smaller than the regular ION. Does this mean there are some mechanical differences as well as software changes? Did that make sense?

Tale Of The Tape: New York Giants At Washington Redskins
The Giants hope that they can ignite their offense by going on the road against a divisional opponent. Eli Manning finally got it going a bit in Week Three against the Texans, and the Giants need him to keep it going or they will have another lost season.
Who Is Type-Casted More, Eli Manning Or Liam Neeson?
Eli Manning always plays the same role. How does he compare to Liam Neeson, one of type-casting's greats?
Is Devin Hester Or Amazon.com Better At Returns?
Devin Hester of the Atlanta Falcons has an NFL record 20 returns for touchdown. But how does he stack up against Amazon?
Tale Of The Tape: Chicago Bears At New York Jets
While Jay Cutler lacks consistency, he is capable of taking over any game and carrying the Bears with his strong arm when he gets on a roll.
Tale Of The Tape: Pittsburgh Steelers At Carolina Panthers
The Steelers are a veteran team that should understand how to play in a big game, but they appeared unprepared for their Week Two game with the Baltimore Ravens.
Tale Of The Tape: Kansas City Chiefs At Miami Dolphins
The Chiefs picked it up quite a bit in losing a 24-17 decision at Denver, and that should be encouraging to Andy Reid and quarterback Alex Smith.

Last updated 10/3/14
The night served as the first chance for the public to get a look at this year's Orange men's and women's teams, but the on-court product was overshadowed by a distinct lack of enthusiasm from a sparse crowd. An official attendance figure was not released, but I would be surprised if more than a few thousand people were there. The attached photo was taken after the men's scrimmage ended (Orange beat White 55-46), but before the dunk contest began, and you can see that empty seats outnumber fans by about 6-1.
But I'm not here to rag on the event itself. We can save that discussion for another day. I'm here to discuss some basketball, and here's my report card based on what I observed from press row on Friday night:
Head of the Class
Trevor Cooney: If the Trevor Cooney that showed up for Orange Madness plays that way all season, SU fans will be VERY happy. Cooney had by far his best public shooting exhibition on Friday, scoring 24 points on an efficient 6-9 (unofficially) from three-point range. His shot looked great, without the leans or fades which plagued his form last season. He looked confident and ready to pull the trigger, and that confidence translated into results (against an admittedly lax defense).
Passing Grades
C.J. Fair: The preseason ACC Player of the Year will obviously be the focal point of the Orange offense this season, and with good reason. He looks like he has spent a lot of time in the gym fine tuning his game this summer. He shot 47% from three last year, yet looks even more comfortable beyond the arc. He has added a little jab step/step back jumper to his arsenal, and his enhanced shooting touch should open up more lanes for him to get into the paint and create for himself or others. Fair put up an effortless 14 points to lead the White team, and I look for him to have several scoring outbursts throughout the forthcoming season.
Team Shooting: In addition to Cooney, the rest of the team looked like they are ready to bomb away from deep this season. Several players made threes over the course of the 16 minute scrimmage, including Cooney, Fair, Ron Patterson, B.J. Johnson, and Michael Gbinije. That could be a welcome sign for a team that really only had one consistent outside threat last year in the departed James Southerland. SU saw several opponents try their own versions of the 2-3 zone in an effort to pack the lane and stop SU's guards from penetrating, so if the Orange can hit from outside with any consistency it will do wonders for the other facets of their offense.
Stay After Class
Fan Support: Okay, maybe just a couple of comments about the event. I don't know if it was the $5 ticket price, or the lack of a rap act after Ace Hood was removed from the program, but the crowd was very disappointing this year. How does a fanbase that sold out the Dome in a matter of hours to see Duke not come out for a specifically fan-centric event? Don't tell me it's because it's an exhibition, because that didn't seem to stop fans from showing up at Rupp or Cameron.
SU had several potential recruits in attendance Friday, and one would hope they didn't walk away with a negative view of SU basketball fan support. ESPNU was also broadcasting portions of the event as part of their "Midnight Madness" show, and watching it later I noticed the Dome looked just as empty on TV as it did in person – even with the opportunity for season ticket holders and students to get in for free.
The Program: Fans aside, something was just missing from the event. A trio of students served as the hosts, but they didn't have much material to work with. There seemed to be a lot of filler, ranging from Hilby the Skinny German Juggle Boy to multiple dance team routines to – and I'm not joking – a multi-song lip synch competition. I assume some of that was to cover for the last minute removal of Ace Hood, but I would have preferred they skip the 'entertainment' altogether and just focus on the basketball.
Final Grade: D
On the bright side, we got to see a glimpse of what the team will look like this season. Cooney and Fair looked great, as mentioned above. Guys like Tyler Ennis and Gbinije showed flashes of potential. There no incidents reported, and the people who were there seemed to have a good time. It's just a shame there weren't more of them.

Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia center Zac Rinaldo said the Flyers were embarrassed by the way they started Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets.
They weren't, however, displeased with how they finished.
Wayne Simmonds scored a go-ahead goal about halfway through the third period, and Philadelphia erased an early deficit and beat Winnipeg 5-3.
Brayden Schenn scored two goals and Claude Giroux added one for the Flyers, who scored three on the power play. Evander Kane, Olli Jokinen and Alexander Burmistrov scored for the Jets, whose road-game winning streak ended at 2.
"The first 10 minutes weren't pretty," Flyers center Danny Briere. "But after that, I thought we took over the game. We didn't give them much. That was pretty amazing, the way we stuck with the game."
As they did in each of their past two games, the Flyers came out flat. Jets left wing Kane camped out beside goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov and scored the first goal -- the third game in a row, and fifth in six in which the Flyers fell behind 1-0.
At one point in the first period, they trailed the Jets in shots, 12-1.
The Flyers bounced back before the first period was over, peppering Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec with 16 unanswered shots.
Pavelec finished with 34 saves.
"It's the same story," Giroux said. "Just our intensity, the way we play -- we're not winning battles, we're not skating. I think tonight was a good test for us. Those games at home, we've got to win them. Tonight was huge."
In a surprise move, Flyers left wing Scott Hartnell, who had missed the last 16 games with a broken foot, was a last-minute addition to the lineup. He finished with five shots on goal.
Simmonds -- who added an assist -- seemed to spark Philadelphia when he fought Jets tough guy Chris Thorburn at 9:07 of the first period. Moments after the tussle, Schenn scored to tie the game.
Jokinen and Burmistrov scored the next two goals, giving the Jets a 3-1 lead. After Giroux scored on the power play from the point for the Flyers, Winnipeg still carried a 3-2 lead heading into the final period.
The Flyers went 3 for 6 on the power play, and killed all four of Winnipeg's advantages.
"I thought we played a pretty hard game, if you take the special teams out of the scenario," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "The problem is, is that you can't. The way we'd been working on the penalty killing, the success we've had on the last few games, it was disappointing to see it turn that way."
Schenn scored his second goal at 6:18 of the third period, before Simmonds broke the 3-3 tie. Rinaldo added an empty-net goal in the game's final second to seal the Flyers' victory.
Bryzgalov, who started his league-high 18th game of the season, made 36 saves.
Before Saturday, the Flyers were 0-7 when trailing after 2 periods.
"We just said in the second intermission, we have to be able to thrive in situations like this," Schenn said. "Whether we are up 3-2 or down 3-2, we have to find a way to win hockey games, and tonight we did. It was a huge two points to keep on climbing up in the standings, clawing our way back to a playoff spot."
The Jets had their modest two-game road winning streak snapped.
"It's very disappointing, you have a 3-1 lead in the second, 3-2 in the third and you've got to be able to lock those down," Kane said. "You can't sit back, no matter how many goals you're up in the NHL, because teams can come back and will come back, if you relax and just try to play defense. You have to stay on them and try to get that next (goal) and push them out of the game."
Game notes
The Flyers placed defenseman Andrej Meszaros on long-term injured reserve before the game to allow cap space for Hartnell's return. ... Rinaldo registered a team-high 12 hits. ... Flyers right wing Jakub Voracek has 22 points in his last 20 games. ... Simmonds had his second "Gordie Howe Hat Trick" (goal, assist, fight) in 3 games. ... Hartnell played 14:54 in the game.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Thanks to the new football stadium in Glendale, the Valley was named one of four finalists for the 2008 Super Bowl Tuesday at the NFL's owners meetings in Philadelphia.
The other three finalists are Tampa, Fla., Washington, D.C., and New York.
"I believe this is a very positive step," Cardinals vice president Michael Bidwill said. "The biggest step will come when the game is awarded, but this is a big step."
The final decision for Super Bowl XLII is expected to be made at the owners meetings Oct. 29-30 in Chicago.
The next open Super Bowl, XLI, is in 2007. Tampa and Miami, Fla., were named the final two choices for that game, although NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue said it is a virtual certainty Miami will get the bid.
Besides a new stadium, Arizona has other factors on its side to get the 2008 game. The biggest is owner Bill Bidwill, who has long curried favor among owners by voting with the group. That was most noticeable two years ago, when he allowed his team to be moved to the NFC West despite a strong personal preference to stay in the NFC East.
The Valley was also all but promised a Super Bowl once the new stadium was ready, although Michael Bidwill and the NFL have stressed a Super Bowl and new stadium were not directly linked. "My father and I are doing our part," Bidwill said. "Obviously, we will still continue to work with (bid committee chairman) Gregg Holmes, getting out the positives about our state."
Said Holmes, "We don't take anything for granted. I do think we have all the key ingredients."
Although Tagliabue said he has no personal preference which city gets the 2008 game, he has pushed for both New York and Washington, especially after the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
New York, however, would have to make a promise for expensive
improvements to Giants Stadium in New Jersey before getting a Super Bowl.
And both New York and D.C. are cold in late January or early February, when the game will be played.
Houston owner Robert McNair said his team's fans prefer Super Bowls in warm-weather cities, and that would be the way he will vote.
"Is there a strong enough climate among the owners to overcome that?" McNair said. "Maybe so on a one-time basis, but a warm-weather site, I think that is what our fans want."
Tampa, meanwhile, just hosted a game in 2001. Nevertheless, Michael Bidwill said, "This is still a very real competition."
Holmes said he will be part of the group that makes a final pitch in Chicago. The parameters of the presentations haven't been set, he said, but he figures his committee will reiterate the points it made in March at the owners meetings in Phoenix. Until then, both the Bidwills and the bid committee will do whatever detail work they can. "Just because we are a finalist," Holmes said, "doesn't mean we are a winner."

eBooks have received a big boost from iTunes. iTunes now allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to purchase and download eBooks directly to their iPhones. According to Teddy Pig, users can purchase books directly from iTunes and add the book to the iPhone using the "Apps" tab in iTunes.
Each book then appears in the iPhone as its own app. With the increasing number of iPhone users, this could be a huge boost for eBooks. No word yet on which publishers are appearing in the iTunes eBook store (THAT IS A LOT OF VOWELS YO) since all the books currently available are public domain. Teddy mentioned he'd just purchased a Frank Baum book and was reading it on his phone today. From the menu of available books, it seems most, if not all, are public domain, like Ulysses, On The Origin of the Species (great subway reading, that one), and Pride and Prejudice. Some are free, some are .99 cents, and some are a big fat $1.99.
Publisher iPulp Fiction has a iTunes library that they are advertising on their own site, but I don't see any word as to which romance novel publishers will make it easier for Lazy Sarah to Download Books. If romance novels appear on the Apps menu, the iPhone and the Kindle might have a rumble in my handbag for literary dominance. Harlequin, I hope, will jump on this one like damn because it would be freaking awesome if I could drop a category on my iPhone before heading out the door.
As far as eye comfort goes, the iPhone is not bad at all. I've read books on the iPhone on BookShelf and the scrolling is a bit more responsive, at least in BookShelf, than the turn-the-page flicker on eBooks readers like the Kindle and the Sony Reader. But either way, eBooks on the iPhone?
iI iam iall iover ithat.
Thanks to Teddy Pig for the heads up.

hello, i have a snake plant and some perlite. i was wondering if i caould propagate them in pure perlite or would i need to put some soil in there with them. and how would i go about propgationg them. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Propagating Sansevieria is kind of like a hobby of mine. ;-] The best way I find, and always encourage others to use, is to wait until the plant sends out the new offshoots . When the offsets form 2-3 leaves, often these already have formed a nice root system, I just break it off. It is very easy to beak off by the way. Wait a few days before potting it in well drained soil. Perlite added to the mix is fine but I prefer using pumice because it does not float to the top when watering. |

Hey, mine have like 3 to four offsets that are 4-7 inches long. but i was really wondering how i propagate them by leaf cuttings. any advice would be nice. |
Remove one entire leaf carefully from the mother plant. Prepare your rooting container (s) and medium. A good potting soil with plenty of your perlite would be fine. You might want to see if you can find pumice as our friend Supannee suggests. I advise against pure perlite. I prefer to use shallow containers for rooting, and then to transplant them later. Just make sure that whatever you use has holes in the bottom for drainage. Styrofoam take out boxes are useful! Moisten your potting mix prior to making the cuttings from the leaf. Remember, when making several cuttings from one leaf, it is very important to remember which end is right side up! After you make the first cutting, they will all look alike, so be conscientious about this. The number of 2 inch cuttings you can make depends upon the length of your leaf, obviously. Insert the cuttings, bottom side down, about half way into the prepared mix. Water well once again when you are finished with them all. Place in a warm (bottom heat is helpful) location, out of full sun until well rooted. Do not pull those cuttings to test for roots, as this will disturb activity that you can't see with your naked eye. Wait until you begin to see the new plantlets emerge from the base of your cuttings. That will be your new plant. The original cuttings will not grow, and you can actually sever them from the baby plants prior to transplanting. Keep the soil moist during the rooting process, but not soggy. I've never covered any cuttings with glass or plastic and judging by the 100% success rate, don't think it's necessary. The most common reason for failure would probably be with over watering, so be careful. |

"This frosting tasted really great, and no one could even tell it was sugar-free! The only caution I have is to make sure the pudding is WELL-DISSOLVED in the milk before adding the cream and whipping. If you don't do this, you will end up with pudding lumps in your frosting - not very pretty on a nice cake!"

Positive Hammers take heart
12 Mar 2007 - 12:10:33
Assistant-manager Keith Peacock has backed West Ham United to avoid relegation and claims a "tigerish attitude" will save the Premiership's basement club from dropping out of the top-flight.
Peacock claims the ailing Hammers took a great deal of heart from their dramatic 4-3 defeat by Spurs on their last outing.
The result left the Upton Park club ten points adrift of safety but Alan Curbishley's number two has backed his side to bounce back against Blackburn Rovers next weekend.
"The spirit we showed and the football ability that we showed (against Spurs) was there for all to see," he told the club's official website.
"In our disappointment, deep down inside there's a feeling that we're starting to get something going.
"With that type of tigerish attitude and bravery on the field we've got a chance.
"We made mistakes against Tottenham, obviously, because we conceded four goals.
"But there were a lot of encouraging signs. We have to go into each game now treating it as a one-off. If we can win it we live to fight another day."

Last night in Bellingham, at Church of the Assumption, a couple renewed their vows on the 15th anniversary of their marriage. (Priest: "Will you accept children lovingly from God?" Wife, flanked by two young sons: "We did!") The family also presented the gifts. This created logistical comedy gold.
The mum and dad went in front with the hosts and wine and the sons carried the corporate collection in two-handled cloth basket between them. It was discovered too late that one of the smaller collection baskets hadn't been added into the larger pool.
Too late, that is, but for the extraordinary efforts of a fortysomething Asian church lady. She booked it up aisle at a pace somewhere between a jog and a speedwalk with violations and managed to dump the last of the offerings in just before the family got to the altar.
Our speed usher turned on her heels and headed toward the back of the church at a brisk but more measured pace. "Good save," I whispered at her as she passed by my pew, just loud enough for her to hear. "Thank you!" she said.

Tom Cruise. John Travolta. Jason Lee. What do they have in common? Aside from all sporting unfortunate facial hair at one point ("Collateral," "Battlefield Earth" and "My Name Is Earl," respectively) they're members of the highly publicized, often-controversial Church of Scientology.
It's not always easy to get to the truth about such a polarizing topic — anti-Scientology Web sites are numerous, including stopscientology.com, scientology-lies.com and scientology-kills.org — but with last week's birth of Suri (the offspring of "TomKat") and next week's release of "Mission: Impossible 3," we went to the source to find out more about the religion and ask what exactly is it about Scientology that attracts so many entertainment celebrities?
"I think they (celebrities) have to have the ability to communicate," says Jim Bennett, director of public affairs for the Church of Scientology in Phoenix, referring to the benefits of a clear mind — a vital goal in Scientology.
"We don't make any particular attempt to control or tell the celebrities what they should do,'' Bennett, a Scientologist since sicne 1968, says. ''They're a parishioner just like I am."
The Valley's Church of Scientology is located in an office building in downtown Phoenix. Bennett says about 5,000 people are on the local church's mailing list. Scientology's Web site (scientology.org) lists around 125 active members with an official online presence in Arizona.
Bennett makes several requests to ensure that his words are interpreted correctly. Given the onslaught of negative publicity Scientology has gotten lately, it's not surprising.
In March, reports surface about a planned "silent birth" for Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's child. The issue is often presented as women not being allowed painkillers or any involuntary noise during the delivery, which has been denied by those involved.
Bennett: "As much as that is downplayed as crazy, the truth is that is one of the most important, key elements around. You just want a safe environment where the baby can enter the world in a quiet, calm manner and have a nice start in life. That's simply all there is to it."
An article on foxnews.com, published last year, alleges that the Catholic-raised Holmes had to cut ties with her prior faith, as well as associates who aren't Scientologists.
Bennett: "Nobody would ever insist or ask you or even remotely suggest that you have to choose between the two (religions). It is a church, it certainly is, but it's nondogmatic. We don't tell you that you have to believe this way or else."
Earlier this month, the New York Daily News reports Jett Travolta (son of John Travolta and Kelly Preston) suffers from autism and has not received proper treatment because doing so would involve consulting psychiatrists, which is against Scientology. Cruise publicly has spoken against psychiatry — on "Today," when he criticized Brooke Shields' discussion of post-partum depression, and in Entertainment Weekly, where he intimated connections between psychiatry and World War II Nazis.
Bennett: "People can be helped and improved without psychotropic drugs, shock treatments, lobotomies or any of a myriad of methods used by the psychiatrist to 'help' his patient."
Last summer, Tom Cruise attracts attention with some bizarre behavior, including the infamous "couch jumping" incident May 23 on "Oprah," where he extols his love for Katie Holmes, whom he had only known for a couple of months.
Bennett: "Most people don't understand that's just a real emotion. It doesn't communicate to most people because most people don't function that way. There is a certain element that will get turned off from it."
Last November, an episode of "South Park," lampoons Scientology and Cruise. The episode depicts Scientology as a scam designed to extort money from people manipulated into joining.
Scheduled rebroadcasts are pulled (reportedly under fear of litigation), and Scientologist Isaac Hayes (the voice of character Chef) quits the show. Bennett: "Most of the services do have a fixed donation attached to them. I'm not aware of any religion out there where there's no charge and nothing asked for in regards to promoting and keeping the activity going. Hubbard didn't make billions and billions of dollars like people think. It always went right back into the churches."
The climax of the ''South Park'' episode and a bit on "The Daily Show" detail the story of Xenu, reportedly a closely guarded secret among high-ranking Scientologists. The gist, according to those programs: 75 million years ago, the universe was dominated by a federation of planets led by a galactic conqueror named Xenu. He rounded up aliens, froze them, took them to Earth on spaceships and dropped them into volcanoes (like the one appearing on the cover of "Dianetics"). This caused the alien souls (called "thetans") to wander the planet, eventually attaching themselves to primitive man. These thetans are the cause of stress, grief and pain.
Bennett: "There are people out there who will do most anything to put out some sort of propaganda to make it seem like, 'Holy cow, they gotta be nuts.' Whether it's true or false, what does it have to do with anything? The private doctrines of the Church of Scientology are the private doctrines of the Church of Scientology."

Gear Question
L-Dogg McChicken :)
Im 5 foot 3 95 pounds and have a size 9...
Im 5 foot 3 95 pounds and have a size 9 foot i ride park all the time except sometimes i ride groomers.What boards woulld you recomend for me?Please answer and also what would bee a good size for me?
The 149 or 152 is a fitting size for you. Depending on what kind of park you're riding... More boxes and rails vs. larger park jumps, the banana should be great, but if you need some more end to end stability, the Gnu Riders Choice may be a better fit.
Good thing about the Skate Banana is that there is very little transition period for getting used to the board and liking it. (couple runs is all)

Union will face Cornell in ECAC Hockey tournament semifinal
By Ken Schott
Sunday, March 16, 2014
Top-seeded Union will face Cornell in the ECAC Hockey tournament semifinal at 4 p.m. Friday in Lake Placid.
Brian Ferlin scored at 12:32 of sudden-death overtime Sunday to lift the fourth-seeded Big Red to a 1-0 win over fifth-seeded Clarkson in the deciding game of their ECACH quarterfinal series Sunday at Lynah Rink.
The Dutchmen won the season series, taking a 3-0 win Nov. 9 at Messa Rink and a 4-1 victory Feb. 14 at Lynah.
It will be the third postseason meeting between the two teams. Cornell swept the 2008 quarterfinal series at Messa. The Big Red defeated the Dutchmen, 3-0, in the 2010 championship game at the Times Union Center.

The answer is a resounding yes. Calvin Harris looked dapper in his black suit, Danity Kane (with the exception of Aubrey O'Day and her plunging neckline) dialed it back and Jennifer Hudson sizzled in orange. There were a few exceptions — TLC looked a mess — but overall, there were more hits than misses.
