General Motor's Top Dealer Technicians in the Middle East Recognised in Dubai Skills Competition
Preliminary competition stages were held throughout 2010 among more than 2,000 technicians from across the GM Middle East dealer network.
December 17, 2010 10:00 by Rasha Reslan
As part of its commitment to provide the best after sales and customer care experience, General Motors Middle East Operations (GMMEO) hosted its second Go For Gold! Dealer Technician Skills Competition in Dubai.
The top 33 technicians from across the GM dealer network in the Middle East, including Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC dealerships, were selected to compete head-to-head and showcase their skills, expertise and knowledge at the two-day finals event held in the pit-garages of the Dubai Autodrome. The competitors were challenged to diagnose, repair and correct systems on Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC vehicles that were purposely outfitted with faults and operating problems. As the contestants worked away, the judging panel closely observed each technician to determine capability and skill in Expert Product Knowledge, Technical Knowledge and Fix-it-Right-the-First-Time.
The top 10 technicians then entered a final round to determine the best GM dealer technician in the Middle East, which was awarded to Noel Carisma from Liberty Automobile in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Mr Carisma was presented with the award by John Stadwick, President and Managing Director of GMMEO, at a special Gala Dinner following the competition.
"At GM, we are investing heavily to provide a world-class shopping, buying and ownership experience for our customers. Our technicians play an important role by ensuring our customers enjoy a great ownership experience by keeping our vehicles in perfect running order," said Stadwick following the Gala Dinner. "The Go For Gold! competition helps to recognise their talent and performance, increase their motivation and measure their performance to ensure GM's dealer technicians are the best in the region."
Preliminary competition stages were held throughout 2010 among more than 2,000 technicians from across the GM Middle East dealer network. The top 33 dealer technicians were selected to showcase their skills, expertise and knowledge at the Autodrome event.
Mr Carisma faced stiff competition from his fellow GM dealer technicians. Unnikrishnan Udhayakumar Thatayil from Mannai Trading in Qatar came second, while third place went to Gemeliano Ignacio Cabalar from Alamana in Kuwait. In fourth was Patrick Dominic Pimentel from Bin Hamoodah in Abu Dhabi with Jay-R Tupaz from Al Ghandi Auto in Fujairah, UAE, placed fifth.
The first Go For Gold! Dealer Technician Skills Competition was held in Bahrain in 2008. The next annual event is due to be held in late 2011.

2013 and earlier Honda Odyssey Prices Paid and Buying Experience
nobo Posts: 305Wow, sorry to hear about your misfortune with your new Odyssey.
Not a lemon, yet. Has to have one or two more problems with motor before lemon law possibilities kick in. Would not hurt to ask Honda for a new van, but they will probably want to repair what you have now.
I would hope you get an entire new engine assembly, instead of rebuild of the OE one.
Please post back how Honda resolves your issue. -
rangersace Posts: 34Even though the subject says EXL w/RES if you read it closer it indicates NAV AND DVD. So I think for that its a decent price but can't say for sure as I paid $30600 incl dest for an EXL w/just RES (DVD). Maybe there is someone else who purchased a EXL w/both DVD and NAV who would confirm.
pmpatel Posts: 23Did your price of $31,5xx include destination or without. Generally if you can get around $32300 - $32500 with destination is not bad. It's also a good idea to purchase an extended warranty. I purchase EXL with NAV & RES last week and paid $32112 (with destination) + fog lights + warrenty + etc. You should be able to negotiate and get warrenty that is not offered by Honda but other co. for much cheaper rate.
You can read my older post "pmpatel" which has complete details of what I paid.

hogan773 Posts: 255Not sure how much work people are doing but if you call 1 dealer, get a price, then come post on this board "Is XYZ and good or bad deal?" you sort of deserve what you get.......
First of all, if you'd take 10 minutes and actually read back a month or so on this board, you'd see where others are getting pricing.
Second, things change, markets are different, so even with a good idea of others' experience you'll still need to play dealers off each other if you want to get best price.
Or you can just post 1 post here, asking whether its good or bad, and not sure where that really brings you........ :confuse: -
kristine70 Posts: 9I've read the forum for days now. I have a reasonable offer and hope to get a bit better tomororow. But, I'm thinking of the towing package and wonder if that's negotiable and if so, did I miss the boat by not including it already or can I add it now? What's the best way to do add-ons?
kristine70 Posts: 9Clearly, you're very good at this. Any advice on it? This is my first time ever negotiating a new car deal. This is what I'm thinking. I have 2 dealers that are within $250 of each other. Both are about an hour away and in the same direction. I am thinking of going there Thursday and asking both for quotes on my trade-in and also for quotes on the towing hitch and go from there. See who can give me the lowest overall price to me.
So far, everything has been done via email. I have 3 small kids and it's just too loud here to talk on the phone. I'd reply one more time to the emails and then visit in person, and with no kids .
Any advice would be great ."> -
tigerjunk Posts: 3Hey socal12;
I'm in San Diego as well and is looking for a 2010 EXL Navi + DVD for $30k. Perhaps if we both buy together, there's an incentive for the dealer to give it to us for $30k each? One other family member of mine wanted to buy a van as well, so if they join us, then we'll buy 3 Odyssey's at the same time, and may be get an even better deal. What's your contact info so we could hook up? -
hogan773 Posts: 255Not knowing all the specifics, that seems like a good strategy. I would go to the "higher" (by 250) dealer first, tell them you have a quote from another dealer for $250 cheaper, but tell them that the trade in value matters too of course - its a total package. Get an idea of what your trade in is worth by looking at Edmunds, also KBB.com. Unlikely they will offer you those numbers, especially not the first time, but at least you'll have some frame of reference. Be careful not to outright tell the first dealer when you sit down that you're checking with him FIRST - just tell them that you're weighing a couple different options and you of course need to understand what they're willing to pay on the trade to make a decision. Just be a little vague.
See if they can come down $250 on the car price first, then see what they offer for trade. No matter what they offer, look disappointed (you probably won't have to act, as you probably will get a truly disappointing number at first!). Assuming the Edmunds or KBB numbers are higher, tell them you were thinking you'd get at least that much, and why is their offer lower? They'll tell you that Edmunds and KBB don't reflect true wholesale values, blah blah blah. Whatever.
Ask them to clarify whether this is in fact their best offer on both metrics, and then tell them that you need to go visit another dealer to see what they will offer in trade, but you'll make a decision after that. Be polite and courteous. They'll probably let you walk, but they might try to do a "wait a minute - I tell ya what - if I can improve our offer, would you be willing to buy right now? DO NOT COMMIT but also DO NOT SAY NO - say something to put the ball back in their court like "I thought you just told me that this was your best offer? Now I'm confused. I guess I'm happy to hear what is your best offer......" Now they have to react - they might say I'll knock another $300 off (or add another $500 to the trade or whatever) if you buy right now.......
think about it for a minute, thank them, then say "you know, I appreciate your gesture but this trade in is potentially a big part of the package, and I'd really be foolish not to at least get a second quote. I'll get back in touch with you though" Then walk out and go to Dealer #2. Dealer 1 would have to be a [non-permissible content removed] not to honor that Hail Mary lower price even if you come back later........
At Dealer #2, you can either play out the above, or if you're getting tired and think you have a good deal, you can just make sure that Dealer 2 beats whatever you had at Dealer 1 and buy the car........but make sure you push for a higher trade in than they offer initally, usually they offer at least 500-1000 lower than they'd be willing to pay.
Also don't seem desperate or "in a rush" like you've driven an hour and therefore you need to get this done today at any cost.....
good luck and let us know how it goes..... -

About This Project
This was a fun, easy and inexpensive project. Ana's instructions are very easy to follow. I modified her plan, only slightly, by adding 1X6 to the arms of the chairs, as well, I added a 1X2 cap to the top back of the chair. I also built four (4) accent tables (not stained yet) and a bench. Now I have a great set of outdoor furniture for my deck!
From Plan:
Required Skill Level:
Starter Project
Estimated Time Investment:
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used:
I used an exterior latex stain, in white, on the chairs and bench. I'll be painting the accent tables in an ice blue color to match my cushions.
Estimated Cost:
Four (4) chairs, four (4) tables, bench, wood screws and stain - approximately $100.00

POSTED: Thursday, March 24, 2011 - 9:54pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 - 12:17pm
EL PASO- A terrible car accident leaves a mother injured and her pregnant daughter dead. Blanca Pizarro and her daughter Nelly were out for a walk Wednesday when they were both hit by a car at the intersection of Darrington and Nunda. The crash killed Nelly and her unborn child.
The Pizarro family was at Del Sol Medical Center Thursday night with Blanca, as she recovers from the crash. At the same time, they are trying to comprehend the loss of Nelly and her child, a baby they say would have been named America.
Tears rolled down Manny Campa's cheeks, as he read the last text message his girlfriend Nelly ever sent him. The two were planning to get married after the birth of their daughter.
They had even picked out a crib.
"I already lost my girlfriend and my baby at the same time and so it's hard for me to be talking, being strong for the family you know," said Campa, Nelly's boyfriend.
A terrible accident Wednesday night took Nelly's life, as she was out for a walk with her mom, trying to keep healthy during her pregnancy.
"I feel sad, I feel angry," Campa told us.
Horizon police said it happened around 7:45 p.m. A driver, 30-year-old Felipe Trevizo, was driving down Darrington road, when he turned left onto Nunda avenue.
It was at that moment that Blanca and Nelly were walking across the street and were hit by the car. Both were taken to Del Sol Medical Center.
Nelly and her baby died at the hospital, and Blanca rests in stable condition.
"Right now I'm trying not to cry, I'm just trying to be the strongest one for my family," said Blanca Solis, Nelly's sister.
She described Nelly as a fun-loving girl, full of life and bursting with energy.
Her death has thrown the family into shock. But the suddenness of it all brings out the love for the girl they say died too soon, and the baby they never had the chance to meet.
Funeral arrangements for Nelly have not yet been finalized, but will be sometime next week. The driver, Felipe Trevizo, is not facing any criminal charges at this time.

HOUSTON (Oct. 22, 2007)Work done in part by researchers at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston has led to the discovery of two genes that cause ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory and potentially disabling disease. The findings are published in the Oct. 21 online edition of Nature Genetics, a journal that emphasizes research on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases.
John D. Reveille, M.D., professor and director of the Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunogenetics, in conjunction with Matthew A. Brown, M.D., professor of immunogenetics at Australias University of Queensland, led research done by the Triple A Spondylitis Consortium Genetic Study (i.e. the TASC or Australo-Anglo-American Spondylitis Consortium).
The international team of researchers worked with investigators from the British Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, and together they made the genetic discovery.
Reveille, chief of rheumatology at Memorial Hermann Texas Medical Center, said the discovery of genes ARTS1 and IL23R brings the scientific community two steps closer to fully understanding ankylosing spondylitis or AS, a chronic form of arthritis that attacks the spine and also can target other joints and organs in the body.
Weve long known that the HLA-B27 gene accounts for 40 percent of the overall cause of AS, said Reveille, the principal investigator of TASC. Now we have found two new genes. Together with HLA-B27, these genes account for roughly 70 percent of the overall cause. That means weve almost nailed this disease. Within the next year, I predict we will have identified all the genes that play a role in this insidious disease. There is more exciting news to come.
The recent discovery is based on work from the largest and most comprehensive genome-wide association scan conducted to date. In this part of the research project, investigators were searching for genetic information related to AS, as w

Breakfast topic: The mystery of WoWdar {WoW}
Jan 23rd 2007 1:25PM The night when BC came in, I was playing Poker with some colleagues at work. I decided to boycot the first night so as to avoid the big rush.
Considering the overall look and behavior of the guys around the table, they had more like "poker faces" than "mmorpg nerds".
We were 5 of us left at 11PM. I decided to push all my coins in and try to, at least, have a very general overview of the game at midnight.
The guy to my left pushed all-in as well, and said "Ok guys, i am probably out of the table but i'm gonna do some burning crusade before going to sleep".
And both of us had a big laugh, hoping for the first time of my life that my opponent win the hand so as to go home play some BC.

Breakfast Topic: Favorite quest chain {WoW}
Nov 20th 2006 9:41AM My favourite is a 30 something quest given by some NPC in the Thousand Needles called : Dorn Plainstalker.
It starts with the test of strength, then test of faith and finally test of lore.
The test of faith is really fun, you are basically teleported to the top of one of the needles and supposed to jump so as to prove your faith.
The quest brings you to discover the tunnel between Stonetalon Mountains and Ashenvale.
Breakfast Topic: We All Started Somewhere {WoW}
Oct 19th 2006 9:51AM I started in Ultima Online but quickly moved to Everquest, my very best MMO experience.
WoW is far better as a game from every single aspect.
But the old EQ community had something I will never ever forget. People were so friendly and mature.
There was a great proportion of people who knew how to keep it friendly while challenging.
Breakfast Topic: What Will Become Of The Current Endgame Raid Instances? {WoW}
Oct 18th 2006 8:35AM I guess doing any kind of instance in BC will require some T2/T3 gear, level is only a part of the overall power of a wow character.
It would solve the problem.
People who are already equiped with T2/T3 will be able to get better loots.
The others will have hard times in BC without finishing MC/AQ/BWL first.
I am not in the beta, so cannot confirm though.

Breakfast Topic: Most Annoying Quest {WoW}
Sep 18th 2006 8:57AM The most difficult quest of all was the hunter epic quest for me.
You need to kill those 4 mobs alone, without your pet, a great amount of skill is required.
A lot of fun but it gets really annoying when you miss the kill because of an additionnal mob aggroing, or because of an ally player.

Breakfast Topic: Ding! {WoW}
May 2nd 2006 9:56AM From my point of view, as a MMO veterant, WoW's dings are not real dings.
It is far too easy to grind a character in this game.
I am coming up with my favourite ding, which was back in the time of Everquest, when i first reached level 60 (max level before Planes of Power extension).
I had 55 days played when i reached that level and 6 months of fun behind me.

I adore this shadow. I am on my second one. I agree with the other reviewers that the glitter does get all over your face but put it on before you put on face makeup. This will prevent the glitter from sticking to your skin and you can remove any unwanted glitter with a big blush brush. I rarely use it alone because the color is hardly visible alone. It is pefect over other richer eyeshadows, however. It tones them down.
More reviews by ohnutsitsCAITY
I had some money that was just BURNING a hole in pocket so I went to Sephora. I was looking around the UD section when I saw this shadow. I wasn't very familiar with UD at the time (The only product I had was UDPP) I thought it was so pretty and sparkly and I just loved the beige-y color. When I got home, I immediately tried it out.
The glitter ends up everywhere and the actual color payoff isn't that great. The entire shadow is almost completely glitter. I'll keep this in my collection because I horde makeup, but I don't plan on buying this again. If you want to try really shimmery UD shadows that don't have a lot of fallout and have great color payoff, I suggest the Deluxe Shadows (which I'll review later. :P)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
UGH, did I not like this shadow. Aside from the fact that it is way too glittery, it doesn't have much color payoff either. As far as UD shadows go their colors are always bright and vibrant, but this shadow just looks like a dull flat peach/beige with chunky silver glitter. I'm sure the fact that the glitter is silver makes it look even more dull as opposed to a warm gold/bronze glitter.
Also the texture is very chunky and it doesn't apply very well IMO. I purchased it because I bought the hype about it being one of UD's best selling shadows, but never again. I swapped mine away with no regrets.
Let me just say that I really like UD shimmer and matte eye shadows. I've never tried the glitter shadows, but when I saw this on the website I thought it was just such a beautiful color. When it came in the mail I thought it was beautiful to look at. When I swiped my brush over the shadow...glitter everywhere! I can appreciate subtle glitter, but this is ridiculous. Against my better judgement, I swiped this e/s on my eye and boom!...It looked like a glitter bomb went off on my face. I had glitter in my lashes, under my eyes, on my cheeks...everywhere even with the UDPP on my eyes. I was in a rush this morning, so I couldn't redo my MU as I already had fdtn, pwdr, and blush on when I applied my e/s. Anyway, my point is that I am sitting at work with glitter all over my face looking like a damn disco ball and hoping it isn't too obvious. I may use this to go out to a club or concert, but definately not in my day-to-day life.

A great colour on me. Beige frost with lots and lots of silver glitter without the grit. Its so pretty on my hazel eyes and really helps to open them up. There isn't much fall out with this one, much to my surprise! Even used without a primer, it stays on for hours.
This is a very pretty shadow. It's SO sparkly, so you only need a tiny bit. It works well on most skin tones and the sparkles really enhance my green eyes. The only problem is that the sparkles sometimes fall in my eyes (and I wear contacts so this can be very uncomfortable and somewhat dangerous).
More reviews by queenofthesalsa
I got this shade in the skull shadow box and it is by far the glitteriest one! I can't imagine wearing this anywear but out at night - but for that occassion it would be fun. It's a goldy/beige with silver glitter.
This eyeshadow is great! It is really shimmery, with a lot of silver glitter. The beige color is subtle, but it is just enough! I wear it as my everyday eyeshadow. It lasts a long time and looks pretty natural, aside from the glitter. The shadow is good to wear out, and is really blendable and sheer so you can wear it on top of another color to add sparkle. The packaging is simple and cute, and you get a decent amount for about 15 bucks.
This product is not for the faint of heart... If you aren't in LOVE with glitter, don't buy it. If you want a great neutral sparkley glitter that floats down around your eyes and cheeks, then this is for you. I like that the glitter falls around, it gives me a fun glow and I always get compliments when I wear it.

With WaveRider's Last Mile Solution(R) system, TelEm's wireless network can deliver broadband services to subscribers in all areas, even those with heavy tree coverage, since the network does not require a clear sight-line between the company's antennas and the subscribers' sites. The WaveRider modem and indoor antenna can be easily installed by subscribers, which makes it faster and more cost-effective to connect new users to the network.
"TelEm is investing in significant upgrades to the entire telecommunications infrastructure throughout St. Maarten that will give our businesses and residents access to the most advanced communications technologies," said Dennis Richardson, President and Director, St. Maarten Telephone Company. "Our new wireless broadband service is an important part of this initiative. We have now deployed the only wireless system available that can provide the level of service our constituents need."
TelEm is working with UniiGo Communications to upgrade the entire telecommunications infrastructure on the island, including the deployment of its wireless broadband network. UniiGo specializes in the planning, engineering and installation of telecommunications solutions and has deployed WaveRider's LMS systems in several cities in North America.
The first phase of the wireless broadband roll-out includes five base stations surrounding Phillipsburg, Cole Bay, Simpson Bay, Maho Bay and other business and residential areas, which have the combined capacity to serve more than 5,000 subscribers. When complete, the wireless network will make broadband service accessible throughout the island. The company's wireless service will be offered via Telnet Communications Inc., the Internet Service Provider managed by TelEm.
Non-line-of-sight advantages
"The Internet services that have been available on the island to date were simply not adequate to suit the needs of businesses or individual Internet users," said Jeffrey DeLacombe, Deputy Director of Commercial Affairs, TelEm. "As we roll out our WaveRider non-line-of-sight wireless network, all of Dutch St. Maarten will have access to fast, reliable, affordable broadband services."
"WaveRider's Last Mile Solution products enable us to connect subscribers throughout entire communities. Other wireless systems are limited by the need for a direct line-of-sight between the base station and the subscribers' sites," said Dudley Freeman, President and founder of U.S.-based UniiGo Communications. "In areas like St. Maarten that have varying elevations and beautiful tree coverage, line-of-sight connections are either not possible or not desirable because they would require large antennas at each subscriber site throughout the area. The WaveRider system provides the non-line-of-sight connections needed in St. Maarten, with the speed and reliability that business and residential subscribers demand, and without large antennas that can interfere with the enjoyment of the landscape."
UniiGo joined WaveRider's channel program in 2003 and is working with several companies in North America, the Caribbean and Latin America to plan future wireless networks for broadband deployments.
"By working with companies like UniiGo, WaveRider has increased its exposure in the marketplace, and gained access to large telecommunications providers like St. Maarten Telephone Company that have the long-term vision and expertise to successfully deploy large-scale wireless networks," said Charles Brown, Executive Vice President, WaveRider Communications.
The world leader in fixed wireless Non-Line-of-Sight Technology
WaveRider's Last Mile Solution(R) (LMS) is the world's first fixed wireless broadband product to deliver true non-line-of-sight Internet connections in the license-exempt spectrum. WaveRider's LMS is distinguished in the non-line-of-sight category by its user-installed indoor antenna, which enables broadband connections through buildings, tree canopies and other line-of-sight barriers.
WaveRider's NLOS system delivers up to 2.0 Mbps throughput at a range of up to two miles, in non-line-of-sight conditions, with WaveRider's indoor antennas. For installations using outdoor antennas, WaveRider's NLOS products delivers throughput speeds of 2.0 Mbps at a range of up to five miles, in non-line-of-sight conditions, and up to eight miles when there is a line-of-sight connection between the base station and subscriber antennas.
The Last Mile Solution(R) systems also include WaveRider's proprietary Dynamic Polling MAC and grade of service controls, which enable operators to easily manage their networks and deliver broadband services to hundreds of subscribers using a single base station unit.
WaveRider's LMS systems have been deployed by service providers in more than 90 per cent of the U.S. states. WaveRider's customers have now made wireless broadband service accessible to millions of potential subscribers across North America, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Protesters stone passing motorists
Comment on this storyMossel Bay - Protesters in Kwanonqaba in Mossel Bay threw stones at motorists during a protest over electricity connections on Thursday morning, Western Cape police said.
"There were sporadic incidents of stone throwing, but we intervened and it has calmed down now," said Captain Malcolm Pojie.
"There is police visibility in the area to maintain order."
No injuries were reported.
Hundreds of residents have been protesting since Sunday over the disconnection of electricity. Roads have been barricaded, tyres burnt, and shops looted.
Police said 34 people were arrested on Tuesday and Wednesday for public violence and looting.
A municipal building, situated next to the police station, was also set alight.
At the time, Pojie said protesters tried to burn down the station, but police prevented it.
Protesters threw petrol bombs at police, who fired rubber bullets and teargas to disperse the crowd.
There were no reports of injuries.
Pojie told Sapa the 34 appeared in Mossel Bay Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
"They were released on a warning and told to reappear on September 14," he said.
On Wednesday, Eyewitness News reported that the Mossel Bay municipality had agreed to reconnect illegal electricity in Kwanonqaba after three days of protests.

Spent two nights here while on a rioja buying trip. Hotel is conveniently located just outside the walls of the traffic free town. It doesn't offer parking which is a minus - both in terms of security of the car's contents and the driving round hoping a space will turn up. The hotel is comfortable and the welcome warm. Rooms...

Scent at the Poly
Does anyone know of a similar scent (candle, air freshener, etc.) that they use in the lobby of the Poly? I thought I read a while back about a candle from Bath and Body Works, but you can't get it anymore??? I would love to make my house smell like the Poly!
I looooove that scent!:cloud9:
I don't know...but if anyone does...I want to get it! :)
Is it some type of aloe vera & floral scent? My friend used to work there, I'm going to email her & see if she knows!
It definitely has a bit of chlorine mixed in with the floral smell. Only reason I know this is because our local Y pool's dressing rooms remind me of the Poly when I walk through. :laughing:
My friend that used to work at Poly said the word "Bamboo" is in the fragrance title, but she can't remember for sure. She thinks it might have been Green Bamboo, and yes, it's pumped in!
Thanks, everyone! Now I'm off to search for something "Bamboo." :)
I work for Yankee Candle (and so did the former CM friend) and we had a scent called Green Bamboo but we both agree it's not that one. She said though that the foliage in the Poly lobby could be mixing with the scent they pump in (makes sense - or scents LOL) :rotfl:
Oh, the scent of the Poly is THE BEST.
I googled "green bamboo" and came up with a company called Scent Air. They list a "green bamboo" but it doesn't look like they sell retail. Drat! http://www.scentair.com/why-scentair-scents/ |
There is a thread I can't remember what board it's on but there is a list of scents for almost every ride/major Disney smell. I believe the title is "NEW SCENT ALERT" all in Caps. They have the poly smell there for sure. I was literally reading about it 2 days ago. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but I hope you find it.
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2871411 |
I bought the Westin version before I found this. My cartridge has lasted at least 1 year because the scent is so concentrated that, at least inn our house, if I run it for a couple of hours and then turn it off, the scent lasts for a few days. It is supposed to only last for 30 days. If I ran it every day, it would be way too much. There are the Disney resorts scents. http://www.enviroscent.com/Accscent |
Wow! The refill cost has really gone up! Ah, what some of us will do to bring home a little Disney! :thumbsup2

- Reviewer: Staff
A confident young rabbit announces herself to be a "champion ice-skater," even if Wright's (Bandits) canvas-textured paintings sometimes tell a different story. Low on conflict but filled with atmosphere, Wright's story begins as the rabbit waits "for the conditions to be just right." This takes her through three seasons: her parents tend to the garden in the spring, the family goes swimming in the summer, and autumn means harvest and a pumpkin-headed scarecrow in a tutu. Finally, it's time to skate, and Wright has gentle fun at her heroine's expense. "I have a lot of fans," the girl says as birds crowd trees that flank the frozen pond; some of those same birds help the rabbit "spin faster than anyone," which results in her getting wrapped up like a mummy in her pink scarf. With books and artwork lining the walls and a blazing fireplace for toasting marshmallows, the rabbit family's supremely cozy home will be the subject of many readers' envy, and Wright conveys a strong sense of familial togetherness in every scene. Ages 2–6. Agent: Rosemary Stimola, Stimola Literary Studio. (Jan.)
Stories to warm winter's chill
January is the month for snow and cold and ice. Whether you live with snowy weather, or wish you did, pour a mug of cocoa and share these three picture books with your favorite little snowman.
Husband and wife team Caralyn and Mark Buehner have come up with an intriguing idea in Snowmen at Work, the fourth book in their popular Snowmen series. What if snowmen had actual jobs as dentists, mechanics, grocers and the like? Sparkling oil-and-acrylic paintings pop with energy and allow the Buehners to create warm and humorous scenes on every page. Each spread includes four hidden characters—cat, mouse, T. rex and rabbit—adding to the fun. Readers will have to slow down to find these little critters, but the search will allow them time to appreciate the charms of each detailed illustration.
Bunnies on Ice is Johanna Wright's tribute to ice skaters of all levels. Reminding us that, as in many life events, "you have to wait for the conditions to be just right," Wright takes us through spring planting, summer swimming and harvest. This trip through the seasons allows the reader and lap-listener to slow down and enjoy the journey. Wright's gentle acrylic-and-ink illustrations, in her signature naïve style, are filled with details that amuse both the eye and the heart. The members of the bunny family enjoy one another as they celebrate life together—gardening, swimming, raking, cooking, building a scarecrow, making music and, at last, skating. I always want to join the families that Wright constructs, especially if it means I could bundle up and skate on a frozen lake.
The town of Toby Mills is cold. Very cold. After a few days of sub-freezing weather, the local paper declares what the townspeople already know: It's a cold snap! Veterans Eileen Spinelli and Marjorie Priceman team up in Cold Snap, a brisk tale of one town as it handles a long period of cold weather. A statue of the town founder is at the center of the story. Actually, his nose is at the center of the story. The icicle that slowly grows from it is an unusual calendar of cold, but a humorous one that serves as a wonderful anchor for the story. Illustrations, in vivid, mostly primary-colored gouache, highlight a week of bone-chilling cold, but also show how warm a community can be. Millie and Chip throw snowballs, kids race down T-Bone Hill on their toboggans and skis, townspeople warm themselves in the diner, knitters create warm hats, and ice skaters race around the pond. As the week unfolds, the townspeople get colder and colder, shivering in their church pews, getting stuck inside frozen train doors, and suffering with broken furnaces. Priceman's breezy style, all movement and energy, is a perfect fit with Spinelli's staccato, happening text. Readers will want to stay in Toby Mills longer than the week—maybe long enough to enjoy some sugar-on-snow.

gibby, I've followed your saga :) with your new kitty and wonder if you could share what steps you took in introducing her to your other cats? If there's another thread that discusses it please let me know and I'll try to find it by searching. I ask because later this summer I may be taking in my DM's cat and I'm curious as to how you went about the introduction itself. DM's cat is declawed and has a personality similar to my cat (a manx)......indoor only, relaxed, no litter issues, rarely meows except when hungry, and doesn't ask for a lot of attention. All in all, perfect cats on their own. My cat is 4 yrs old and the other, also a female, is 5+ yrs. DM has had the cat less than a year but DM's health and age (95) are beginning to make it difficult for her to care for the cat. I've been reading all I can about introducing cats and downloaded a good book titled Cat vs Cat last night, but the info doesn't sound very encouraging. Hopefully the authors are giving the worst case scenarios so that owners follow the introduction steps carefully. Thanks for any advice! |

annz, I'm not Gibby, but I can offer you a link to the integration story of three young adult toms into my feline household back in 2005. Each cat presented different integration challenges, and all of the strategies I used during the process were described in the story. It's a long read, but I think you might find it both entertaining and educational. Laurie |
Here is a link that might be useful: The Integration of the Three Mouseketeers
Other than my first two cats who were kittens and litter mates, everyone else came into the household as an adult stray/shelter cat. So I had four good situations before my one bad one when the cat I adopted from a shelter was just too aggressive with one of my resident cats. It just wasn't going to work out so he went back to the shelter and I got the current "new" cat who gets along great. I've always just brought the new one in and kept it in isolation for awhile both for health reasons and so they can get used to the idea of each other. I think I've usually kept the new cat confined for a couple weeks before I let them take a look at each other through the crack in the door. Depending on how that goes I might do that for a little while until I let them out together under supervision. Usually once the new cat has been out they don't want to go back into isolation but I don't leave them unattended together until they seem to be tolerating each other without a lot of hissing and growling. Other than the one failed adoption the rest have grown to tolerate each other somewhere between two to four weeks. Some have become buddies, some have just peacefully coexisted. One of my first cats didn't become buddies with a newcomer for a few years until after his littermate died. The newest one became buddies with one cat after a week. The other cat just tolerates the newer one. In one case I kept a new cat isolated for several months because he was very badly wounded, had to have a couple surgeries and had massive parasite infestation. By the time he finally got out everyone got along fine. Hope this helps and hope everything works out with your situation. |

I turned on the sprinklers this morning and then went for a walk around the garden. A Thornton's Lemon Drop cutting that I have growing apparently had a relationship with a passing spider (yes, we all have had those moments...sigh) and this was the result... and oh, the cutting's older brothers (sisters?) are attached also. |

It has been a rough preseason for the Roane State Raiders, but none of that mattered Tuesday evening as Randy Nesbit's squad opened the 2014-15 season with a 94-65 victory over the junior varsity squad from Bryan College.
The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission postponed decisions on the 2015-16 sport fish regulations until its December meeting. The action came during the commission's Oct. 29-20 meeting held in Greeneville.
The paths were different, but the results were the same as the Cherokee Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets opened the season with wins Monday evening at Sweetwater.
The Lady Jackets had little trouble in rolling to a 49-35 victory in the opening game of the evening.
The Roane State Raiderettes tipped off the season over the weekend with a pair of close wins in the 2014 Walters State Tip-off Classic in Morristown.
The season started with a 79-77 victory over Georgia Highlands College on Friday. Saturday's game was even closer as the Raiderettes knocked off Georgia Perimeter College, 79-78.
A kind of strange regular season came to a close for the Midway Green Wave Friday night as Joe Campbell's squad dropped a 37-16 decision at home against Greenback.
Kingston head coach Brian Pankey knew if his Yellow Jackets were to beat Christian Academy of Knoxville (CAK) Friday night and secure a berth in the TSSAA Class 3A playoffs, they would have to play a great game.
That didn't happen as the Warriors took advantage of early Kingston turnovers in picking up a 42-20 in west Knoxville.
The 2014 football season came to a close for the Oliver Springs Bobcats Thursday night with a 49-14 loss against Monterey.
In what was a rebuilding season for the Bobcats, Wiley Brackett's squad finished with a 3-7 overall record and a 2-4 mark in District 4-A.
There's something about the Grace Christian Rams that brings out the best in the Rockwood Tigers. That was the case Thursday night as John Webb's squad knocked off the District 3-A champions at Civitan Field, 22-15.
Losing isn't fun, but Rockwood Middle School head coach Brent Kelley wasn't too upset with Tuesday's 55-50 loss against Allardt in the championship game of the 2014 Hollis Eble Tournament.
The Tennessee Valley Athletic Association (TVAA) regular season came to a close Saturday without any upsets. Each higher ranked team held their ground and remained where they have been for the past few weeks.

CES 2014: Digital Storm Bolt II SFF Steam Machine
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 12:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: SteamOS, Digital Storm, CES 2014, CES
Another big expectation coming into CES, this year, was the announcement of Steam Machines. We have already seen a few announcements but most of those were just teasers of what is to come at the event. Unlike our fears with G-Sync, many of the products we have seen differ from one-another and attack specific niches. One attaches to the back of your TV while another is a pretty beefy system with a console price-tag.
This one is another small form factor (SFF) machine that includes both SteamOS and Windows to access both libraries. The Digital Storm Bolt II goes after the high end with a factory-overclocked CPU and easily accessible (their claim, I cannot form an opinion without using it) graphics card, storage, optical drive, and cooling system. They do stress the cooling capabilities of their SFF design so it would seem that was their development priority.
I am somewhat confused about the default dual-install, however. Everything special about SteamOS will be ported to the Steam Client so the main advantage of leaving Windows would be to access Linux-exclusive games. That does not seem like much of a market at least for the moment. I expect that, unless Microsoft completely blows away their own foot, anything that comes out for SteamOS will also be released on Windows. I would expect this feature to come much further down the line. It is certainly not a bad thing, however, apart from a little recovered harddrive space.
Apparently the device will be available soon, this month, with an $1899 MSRP.

A not-so-simple set of instructions
Valve released to the world the first beta of SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system built specifically for PC gaming, on Friday evening. We have spent quite a lot of time discussing and debating the merits of SteamOS, but this weekend we wanted to do an installation of the new OS on a system and see how it all worked.
Our full video tutorial of installing and configuring SteamOS
First up was selecting the hardware for the build. As is usually the case, we had a nearly-complete system sitting around that needed some tweaks. Here is a quick list of the hardware we used, with a discussion about WHY just below.
Gaming Build | |
Processor | Intel Core i5-4670K - $222 |
Motherboard | EVGA Z87 Stinger Mini ITX Motherboard - $257 |
Memory | Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1866 MHz (2 x 4GB) - $109 |
Graphics Card | NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB - $999 EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB SuperClocked - $349 |
Storage | Samsung 840 EVO Series 250GB SSD - $168 |
Case | EVGA Hadron Mini ITX Case - $189 |
Power Supply | Included with Case |
Optical Drive | Slot loading DVD Burnder - $36 |
Peak Compute | 4,494 GFLOPS (TITAN), 3,213 GFLOPS (GTX 770) |
Total Price | $1947 (GTX TITAN) $1297 (GTX 770) |
We definitely weren't targeting a low cost build with this system, but I think we did create a very powerful system to test SteamOS on. First up was the case, the new EVGA Hadron Mini ITX chassis. It's small, which is great for integration into your living room, yet can still hold a full power, full-size graphics card.
The motherboard we used was the EVGA Z87 Stinger Mini ITX - an offering that Morry just recently reviewed and recommended. Supporting the latest Intel Haswell processors, the Stinger includes great overclocking options and a great feature set that won't leave enthusiasts longing for a larger motherboard.

Phoronix Already Starts to Benchmark SteamOS Beta
Subject: General Tech | December 15, 2013 - 03:24 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: SteamOS
Have you been trying, unsuccessfully, to install SteamOS? If you get the '/dev/sda device or resource is busy' error: check out the fix on our Youtube channel!
Some people do not have wrist cartilage anymore. Somehow Michael Larabel has already managed to install SteamOS, run several benchmarks across eight separate NVIDIA GPUs, and type five pages about the results. Remember your carpal-tunnel exercises!
Note that none of these benchmarks were using the Source engine. He briefly references two other articles to explain why before continuing on with the bar charts. The GeForce Titan and the GTX 780 Ti were the only two cards to push Unigine Heaven 4.0 past 60 FPS (mind you they almost reached 80 FPS).
He expects to release a second article, within the next couple of days, to compare SteamOS performance to other Linux distributions. He also discusses using the Steam Controller in another, already released, article.
PiixL Jetpack Mounts To Your TV
Subject: General Tech, Systems | December 7, 2013 - 04:04 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: SteamOS, PiixL Jetpack
This is what an open ecosystem does best.
The Jetpack, by British PC developer Piixl, is a computer that can attach to the back of a TV. If your TV stands on its own, the Jetpack clings to the television's unused wall mount point. If you were intending to mount your TV on the wall, the PC can reside between the two. These are the user needs that can only be addressed by allowing organizations (large companies, small businesses, hobbyist groups, and individuals) to explore in the niches either to "scratch their own itch"or differentiate their product.
The computer is branded mostly for SteamOS but can also be installed with a full version of Windows or Linux (which you can then install a Steam Client on). It is looking more and more like Valve is successful in herding OEMs.
The internals of this computer are quite interesting. It looks like they are attaching a 2-wide videocard 90-degrees to a mini-ITX motherboard with the other components spaced out around those two parts. Their official media claims that they will support any GPU (I assume they are not considering ones with extra- thick coolers) which should make future upgrades easy.
I may never purchase a Steam machine but I am excited that they exist. The purpose for the PC ecosystem is that every user with any need can find or create a solution. That is why general purpose computation devices exist: perform whatever information storage or manipulation the user desires. I do not have many of the needs that these boxes satisfy... but some people do and there should be systems available for them.
The Verge claims that the Jetpack will be available in January. I can sense a theme for CES 2014.
Valve, Cloudius, and HSA Join Linux Foundation (Separately).
Subject: General Tech | December 5, 2013 - 03:03 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: linux, valve, SteamOS, hsa foundation, hsa
Valve may very well produce one of the near future's most popular non-mobile, consumer, Linux distributions. SteamOS will be marketed for gaming PCs (some very compelling ones at that) starting next year. CES will definitely be interesting. With such a popular distribution, and as an existing member of the Khronos Group, it makes sense for Valve to join the Linux Foundation... and they just did.
It is still unknown to what extent Valve joined Linux (members are classified by level of contribution from Platinum to Silver) and we likely will not know until their list is updated. While they probably will not be hanging out with Intel and others in the platinum category, Silver is not the most noteworthy of statuses... alongside Barnes and Noble (likely because of the Nook) and Twitter.
Another addition is the HSA Foundation. AMD is already a Gold member (y'know... HSA's faja) and ARM is Silver so I cannot see HSA being much more than that. Still, Linux will be an important focus for the heterogeneous computing architectures to endorse: both in terms of back-end server optimization and customer-facing devices.
Of course I am not belittling any contribution. Still, there is that desire to see Valve lead the pack. Ultimately, though, it is not the size of the badge: it is how you wear it.
iBuyPower Steam Machine: $499?
Subject: General Tech, Systems | December 5, 2013 - 02:38 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd, r9 270, Steam Machine, SteamOS
I cannot see how they will be making any money at this but, next year, iBuyPower will launch their first Steam Machine. At the price of $499, the same as an Xbox One, you will get an AMD CPU bundled with a discrete Radeon R9 270 graphics card.
Image Credit: The Verge
Oh, and Valve's controller will be included in that price.
Sure, they can save money on the free operating system, but that still looks pretty awesome. In terms of actual dimensions, the case is said to be between the size of the PS4 and the Xbox one. Frankly, if you like the look of home theater appliances, this could be a nice twist on that aesthetic. It will also come with a 500GB hard drive. Don't worry, though: it is a PC. If there is a USB 3.0 port anywhere on it, you can attach a giant drive for your games.
And the power supply is internal, too!
iBuyPower is expected to ship this device at some point in 2014 along with a wave of other Steam Machines. Prepare for many of these innovations to come out of CES.

Thinking about the Steam Machine
Subject: General Tech | September 30, 2013 - 02:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: steam, SteamOS
The Tech Report got to thinking about the future of the Steam Machine and how likely it is to be more like a line of PCs than a single console. While some are currently awaiting a response to their request to participate in the beta, TR is already looking to the future of the Steam Box. With the open source SteamOS and Steam's vast knowledge of the hardware people use in their gaming machines TR envisions a line of Steam Machines from a lower end model for light gaming on a TV all the way up to high end versions that will sport the latest and greatest hardware. Can Valve be as successful at selling pre-built machines as it is at selling hats?
"In his latest blog post, TR's Geoff Gasior gets all worked up about Valve's upcoming Steam machines and explains why they're another example of the company playing to the strengths of the PC."

Valve Hardware Pt. 3: Steam Controller
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling, Systems | September 27, 2013 - 02:42 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: SteamOS, Steam Controller, reverse-consolitis
Steam Controller is the third, and final, announcement in the Steam Hardware event. Sure, the peripheral looks weird. It looks very weird. The first thing(s?) you will notice, and likely the driving influence for the iconography, is... or are... the touch pads which replace the expected thumbsticks. The second thing you will notice is the "high resolution" (no specific resolution or dimension was provided) touchscreen.
The most defining aspect of the controllers, as previously stated, is its pair of trackpads. This input method might actually stand the chance of precise controls while maintaining comfort for a couch. To start, I will quote Valve:
In addition, games like first-person shooters that are designed around precise aiming within a large visual field now benefit from the trackpads' high resolution and absolute position control.
The emphasis was placed by me.
Last year, almost to the date, I published an editorial, "Is the Gamepad Really Designed for Gaming?" In it, I analyzed console controllers from an engineering standpoint. I blamed velocity-based joystick control for the need to enable auto-aim on console titles. Quoting myself, which feels a little weird to be entirely honest:
Analog sticks are a velocity-oriented control scheme where the mouse is a relative position-oriented control scheme. When you move a joystick around you do not move the pointer to a target rather you make it travel at some speed in the direction of the target. With a mouse you just need to move it the required distance and stop. It is easier to develop a sensitivity to how far you need to pull a mouse to travel to the target than a sensitivity to how long to hold a joystick in a given direction to reach a target. Joysticks are heavily reliant on our mental clocks and eye coordination.
Each trackpad can also be clicked, like the thumbsticks of current controllers just probably more comfortably, to provide extra functionality. From a User Experience (UX) standpoint, I can envision a first-person shooter which emulates a (velocity-based) joystick when the right trackpad is pressed (assuming it is very light to press and comfortably to rub your thumb against while pressing) but switches to position-based when touched but not pressed.
The implication is quick rotation when firing from the hip, but positionally-based targeting when precision is required. Maybe other methods will come up too? I find the technology particularly exciting because Valve, clearly, designed it with the understanding of position-based versus velocity-based control. This challenge you rarely hear discussed.
The touchscreen is also a large clickable surface. The controller recognizes touch input and overlays the contents of the screen atop the user's screen but it will not commit the action until the touchpad is pressed. This is designed so the gamer will not need to look at their controller to see what action they are performing.
Personally, I hope this is developer-accessible. Some games, as the WiiU suggests, can benefit from hiding information.
Haptic feedback also ties into the trackpads. Their intent is to provide sensations to the thumbs and compensate for loss of mechanical sensation with thumbsticks. Since they are in there, Valve decided to offer a large, programmable, data channel to very precisely control the effect.
They specifically mention the ability to accept audio waveforms to function as speakers "as a parlour trick".
The devices will be beta tested, via the Steam Machine quest, but without wireless or touchscreen support. Instead of a touchscreen, the controller will contain a four-quadrant grid of buttons mapped to commands.
Thus wraps up the three-pronged announcement. Valve directs interested users to their Steam Universe group for further discussion.

About This Project
This winter brought gloves, snow boots and snow pants spread throughout my kitchen. This mama was going insane. Storage before was one hook per child at their height and 4 hooks for mom and dad with a pile of coats and shoes at the bottom. It took me about 3 days to complete while the kids were on Christmas break, which is pretty amazing :) This project was pretty easy once I got the hang of the Kreg Jig. The only issue I ran into was our corner wall is not square which gave me a gigantic headache.
Thank you Ana for these plans!
From a mama who is a little less insane, Tonya in Kansas

If I recall you are growing Royal Ranier in addition to other varieties. Which varieties do you feel are pollinating your royal Ranier? My royal ranier is full of blooms again, but my pollinator (lapins) still appears to be about a week behind. I have tried the low chill varieties but they don't make 3 months in my yard (canker). Gave up on them. I have had the lapins at least 10 years and the royal Ranier at least 8. Still looking for a pollinator. About ready to give up. I have heard of people in South Louisiana that have been growing black tartarian for many years, but I don't know if it would work. Would appreciate pollinator suggestions from the garden web folks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The best pollen producer for me is Rainier. It blooms maybe a week ahead of Royal Rainier in my greenhouse. I have so many varieties I can't tell what is pollinating what. And our relative bloom dates might well be different. The best bloomers in general are Rainier, Bing, Craig's Crimson, and Royal Rainier. I've had issues with many of the self fertile varieties: Sweetheart, Skeena, Selah, Benton, and others I can't recall right now. I have no idea if this means anything in your area. Are you getting fruit on Lapins? Stella would be another possibility but I haven't grown it because the fruit in Amarillo was poor eating. |
The first year lapins flowered it produced a few fruit that the birds got. Not enough to cover in my opinion. Subsequent to that we went into our 3 year drought. The royal ranier started to flower and the lapins did nothing. The RR has been flowering every year now and the lapins just started back. I think the lapins has a higher chill requirement. Also while researching on the net, I read an old Houston Chronicle article that stated my neighborhood was considered zone 8b. That might be why I can grow varieties that should not be successful here. |
