In an on-site meeting arranged for business partners and media, Dubai Studio City revealed 78 per cent of the infrastructure is already in place and the rest will be completed by year end.
Phase one of Dubai Studio City will feature 18 boutique studios, three mega sound stages, four six-level office buildings, a 15-storey tower, retail area, a warehouse and a workshop.
Dr. Amina Al Rustamani, Executive Director of Media, TECOM Investments, said:
"The development we witness today is a testimony to our commitment to provide the local and international media communities with a reliable infrastructure that fulfils their creative and operational requirements. Guided by the clear understanding of various film and broadcast media requirements, DSC will have an enabling environment which maximises opportunities for these businesses."
"Dubai Studio City is determined to play a positive role in diversifying Dubai's economy by creating a unique cluster for the film and broadcast media. Although we aim to attract international production organisations, we would like to assure you that local talents will not be overlooked. Our optimum goal is to lay the foundation to enable a UAE film industry to grow and flourish. Fledgling film makers, as well as mega production companies will find Dubai Studio City the ideal location."
The event also marked DSC's Location Approval Services (LAS) department's completion of two years in operation. LAS is the dedicated operational arm of Dubai Studio City, mandated with facilitating government permits for all photography and filming activities in Dubai. It also offers a full bouquet of enabling services including location scouting, access to talent and weather forecasts, as well as arranging visas, travel and accommodation. LAS has supported around 400 production projects since its inception in 2005.
Jamal Al Sharif, Director of Dubai Studio City, said: "We are investing in developing state of the art facilities to help our partners proceed with their operations in a smooth and effective manner. Best global standards are being followed to ensure our offering matches industry requirements.
"More than 40 companies have been licensed by DSC so far, while eight more are in the negotiation stage. The increasing interest is a testimony to the industry's confidence in Dubai's ability to provide a world-class infrastructure and quality ancillary services."
Construction work at phase one of DSC's core production area is scheduled to start in June 2007. This will include three sound stages, starting with a 15,500 sq. ft. studio which will be ready by Q2 2008. The other two sound stages will provide each 25,295 sq. ft of sound-proofed studio space. These are expected to be ready by Q3 2008. The three studios will be supported by similar size of office space totalling 65,000 sq. ft. to cater administration and operational requirements to sustain production activities.
The two larger stages can be connected with large elephant doors to create a 50,000 sq. ft stage. They will be equipped to meet the requirements of the most demanding big-budget productions.
Building operations starting in June will also include a 130,000 sq ft warehouse dedicated to production companies to store their materials and equipment. A similar 130,000 sq ft. area will also be allocated for a workshop for producing interior and exterior decorations and shooting locations sets.
Launched in February 2005, Dubai Studio City aims to build a huge cluster of companies from across the film, broadcast and music production value-chain. These include production companies, support service providers offering production and post-production facilities, animation studios and services like dubbing, makeup, costume designing, stage designing and building, casting, telnet agencies as well as telecine and lab facilities.

I found this caterpillar on my poblano pepper after it ate 1 of the peppers & almost all of the leaves. This is the 2nd one I found in 3 days. These gluttons seem to be able to eat 10 times their own body weight in 1 day. An ID or tips on eliminating these critters would be appreciated.

That's a hornworm. Easily picked and thrown somewhere where the birds will love you forever. Some years ago when I had the landscape business, I had a client with a pet rat and I trained it by rewarding it with hornworms. Very happy rat after he learned to grab the horn first - a left-pawed rat, BTW. Dan |
It's a Tobacco hornworm. |
The best hint we could give if for you to learn to spot these guys when they are much younger (and smaller), and pluck them off. They don't travel in large packs like some caterpillars, but one can do considerable damage....as you have learned. Be observant. |
I bought a UV led flashlight and go out at night to look for them. The white lines on their sides really light up. |
People often wonder about finding these Tomato or Tobacco Hornworms on Potato or Pepper plants but since they are members of the same family as Tomatoes it only stands to reason they would be there. These are the larva of either the Carolina Sphinx or the Five Spotted Hawkmoth. Small numbers of these pests, or control on a small number of plants is best achieved by picking the buggers off the plants by hand, or squishing them, or cutting them in half. However, if you find one that has what looks like small bits of rice sticking out of its back leave it alone since that one has been parasitized by a wasp and is being eaten alive. |
That's a good tip about the UV flashlight! As big as these darned thing are, they can be difficult to spot. |

These guys will do their share of damage. Here in AZ. the Sphinx moth is crutial to our night blooming cactus, so I plant one tomato off to the side of the yard, and move them to it. JoJo |
There are hundreds of Sphinx moths and the one needed for your night blooming cacti most likely will not be either the Five Spotted Hawkmoth or the Carolina Sphinx. Many people, on hearing that the Hummingbird Moth is a Sphinx mistakenly would tell people to not kill those Tomato Hornworms because that would kill off the Hummingbird Moths. The larva of the Hummingbird Moth does not live on members of the Solanacea (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, tobacco) family. |

I read about the cool powers ichigo got, this battle is reserved until it gets feats.
I read this article: http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Ichigo and it says that the real zangetsu is actually the hollow ichigo and that old man zangetsu is actually his quincy blood which looks like yhwach " As Zangetsu tells him how proud he is of him, Ichigo calls out to him, only for him to fade away completely. As he looks at the sword, Zangetsu tells him he has only been wielding a fraction of his Zanpakutō's power up until now, and it is time for him to fight with his true power. " - This explains itself that it is indeed much stronger than dangai ichigo and FGT ( Since he has only been using a FRACTION of zangetsu's power *COOL* )
Where yusuke and sensui fought
- No bloodlust
- Both at their strongest forms
- Win by death
- Morals On
- Both start 5km away
- Both know each other's location

Press Release
Tags: Pellet appliances, renewable home energy, Press Release
MINNEAPOLIS: Living greener lifestyles and reducing our impact on the environment is becoming increasingly more important to U.S. consumers and homeowners. Also gaining traction is awareness and usage of a time tested, but recently popularized approach to renewable home energy – heating with pelletized fuel in free-standing pellet stoves and fireplace inserts. Generally made from recycled wood byproducts, pellets are a cost stable, low carbon fuel that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions when used as an alternative to fossil fuels such as heating oil, propane and natural gas. Over the past 10 years, several factors have led to increased interest in pellet heating. Organizations like the Pellet Fuels Institute have successfully campaigned for green heating with pellets, contributing to nearly a million installations of pellet appliances in homes and businesses. Stove manufacturers like Harman and Quadra-Fire have also improved the technology and aesthetics of the appliances, making them more attractive and easier to operate and maintain. In addition, the U.S. government is promoting pellet heat with a 30 percent tax credit of up to $1,500 for homeowners who purchase a pellet stove or fireplace insert by Dec. 31, 2010. "Today's pellet stove technology is light-years ahead of what it was even 10 years ago, making heating with renewable pellet fuel a practical option for many households," said Dan Henry, vice president, advanced technologies for Quadra-Fire and Harman. "Many models can produce steady, regulated heat for up to 24 hours on a single load of pellets, with minimal ash clean up. Due to pellet density and high burn efficiencies, the stoves emit extremely low outside air particulates, helping to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gases associated with fossil fuels." Many homeowners would like to utilize renewable energy, but the cost of solar panels, geothermal heat pumps and wind turbines can be exorbitant, making it virtually impossible to get started. Pellet stoves and fireplace inserts can be purchased for a fraction of the cost, making pellet heat the most affordable and realistic alternative for many homeowners. In fact, with the current tax credit, it is possible to purchase and install a pellet stove or fireplace insert for as little as $2,600. In addition to the low cost of getting started, heating with pellets can save money on heating bills, particularly for those currently using fuel oil, propane and electricity. Based on 2010 heating season fuel prices and heating a 1,700 square foot home in a cold-climate state1, switching from fuel oil to pellets can save you approximately $800 per heating season. If you are currently heating with propane, the savings would be about $1,000, and if currently using electricity, $1,800 per heating season. Pellet heat is a good option for homeowners who want to save money and utilize renewable fuels. In addition to reducing carbon emissions2, they are heating with a fuel that is grown, harvested and produced right here in the U.S., helping to reduce our country's dependence on foreign oil. Many homeowners install a pellet stove to work in conjunction with their existing central furnace or boiler. Efficiencies are gained by turning the temperature down 10-15 degrees on the central furnace and using the pellet stove to heat the rooms that are used the most, such as the kitchen and adjoining family or living room. Similar to the concept of a hybrid car, the pellet stove does the primary heating with the furnace as a backup – working together to gain efficiencies and a more environmentally responsible outcome. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy recommends this practice of space heating the areas where you live, as well as closing off unused rooms and leaving bedroom doors open at night. Improving insulation and sealing air leaks in the home will also help to gain maximum heating efficiencies. In the pellet appliance category, homeowners can choose from free-standing pellet stoves, pellet fireplace inserts that fit into the firebox of an existing wood fireplace, and whole-home heating pellet furnaces and boilers. There is also a pellet fireplace available through Quadra-Fire which is the industry's only zero clearance pellet fireplace. The tax credit for pellet/biomass stoves ends Dec. 31, 2010.

Assumes whole home heating; complete replacement of current fuel with pellets. 2 For every ton of pellets used vs. oil, CO2 emissions are reduced by about 1.5 tons.

Re: Looking for a desktop replacement!
For 15.4" laptops, Asus is almost always the way to go. The S96J, A8Jm, F3Jm, and W3J and are all good options. I've listed them from the cheapest to the most expensive. Performance differences are minimal. The Compal HEL80 is also a good choice.
If you'd consider a 17", the Dell e1705 offers the best price/performance ratio on the market: its 7900GS card smokes X1600's and Go7600's. Other good 17-inchers (less powerful but better built) are the HP dv8000 (with a Go7600) and the Sager NP5750 (with a X1600).

Re: Looking for a desktop replacement!
I would reccomend the 9400 since your Canadian, as am I. I just ordered mine Saturday morning, and got a good deal on it. Came with a notebook skin and an all in one printer, which obviously arn't deal breakers but it's still nice to get them. I got my skin already on monday and the printer came today. My laptop finished being built yesterday and of 2 o'clock yesterday, is shipping from Austin Texas. So it doesn't take too incredibly long.
Configure it with the 7900GS and you'll be great for gaming, just watch for sales as the prices fluctuate every week.

Re: Looking for a desktop replacement!
If you want to get a S96J and want a merom option from Canada you could check out NCIX.com (cdn prices)
if you select this first
Toshiba TS-L632C DVD+-RW III Notebook Optical Drive for ASUS S96J (TS-L632C)
you will be offered the S96J cheaper as combo, this special comes and goes i've noticed.
$41.28 Intel PRO/WIRELESS 3945
$312.76 T5600 or $378.34 T7200
your choice Hard Drive
your choice RAM
I considered milestonepc.com because I thought their service would be best, but I am impatient and wanted the T7200 with 4m cache, plus NCIX.com prices came out to be cheaper and they offer multiple shipping options. May have to wait an extra 2-5days on stock but that was no biggie for me, my order got processed in 2days and I can't wait to get it.
Also right now they have a limited supply of OCZ silver 5+ thermal compound for just $5.99 you may want to add as well.
I considered ordering cross border but everyone that offered S96J seemed to use UPS and they charge crazy extra duty fees. So you won't get a deal that way.
Hope this helps a bit.
Too bad it's slim pickings in Canada for a good deal.
Good luck

I will second claudione314's and Chaz's recommendations. They are all excellent options to choose from.
Since you would like more battery life, however, you may want to go with a 15.4" system. The Compal HEL80 comes with a 9-cell battery for some good unplugged time. 17" systems generally have shorter battery life.COMPAL HEL80 (PowerPro L 8:15)

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why don't you do something? | 1 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you just keep looking at each other?" |
2 I hear that there is grain in Egypt; go there and buy some to keep us from starving to death." | 2 He continued, "I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die." |
3 So Joseph's ten half brothers went to buy grain in Egypt, | 3 Then ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. |
4 but Jacob did not send Joseph's full brother Benjamin with them, because he was afraid that something might happen to him. | 4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him. |
5 The sons of Jacob came with others to buy grain, because there was famine in the land of Canaan. | 5 So Israel's sons were among those who went to buy grain, for the famine was in the land of Canaan also. |
6 Joseph, as governor of the land of Egypt, was selling grain to people from all over the world. So Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the ground. | 6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the one who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph's brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. |
7 When Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he acted as if he did not know them. He asked them harshly, "Where do you come from?" "We have come from Canaan to buy food," they answered. | 7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. "Where do you come from?" he asked. "From the land of Canaan," they replied, "to buy food." |
8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him. | 8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him. |
9 He remembered the dreams he had dreamed about them and said, "You are spies; you have come to find out where our country is weak." | 9 Then he remembered his dreams about them and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see where our land is unprotected." |
10 "No, sir," they answered. "We have come as your slaves, to buy food. | 10 "No, my lord," they answered. "Your servants have come to buy food. |
11 We are all brothers. We are not spies, sir, we are honest men." | 11 We are all the sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies." |
12 Joseph said to them, "No! You have come to find out where our country is weak." | 12 "No!" he said to them. "You have come to see where our land is unprotected." |
13 They said, "We were twelve brothers in all, sir, sons of the same man in the land of Canaan. One brother is dead, and the youngest is now with our father." | 13 But they replied, "Your servants were twelve brothers, the sons of one man, who lives in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more." |
14 "It is just as I said," Joseph answered. "You are spies. | 14 Joseph said to them, "It is just as I told you: You are spies! |
15 This is how you will be tested: I swear by the name of the king that you will never leave unless your youngest brother comes here. | 15 And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you will not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. |
16 One of you must go and get him. The rest of you will be kept under guard until the truth of what you say can be tested. Otherwise, as sure as the king lives, you are spies." | 16 Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!" |
17 With that, he put them in prison for three days. | 17 And he put them all in custody for three days. |
18 On the third day Joseph said to them, "I am a God-fearing man, and I will spare your lives on one condition. | 18 On the third day, Joseph said to them, "Do this and you will live, for I fear God: |
19 To prove that you are honest, one of you will stay in the prison where you have been kept; the rest of you may go and take back to your starving families the grain that you have bought. | 19 If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, while the rest of you go and take grain back for your starving households. |
20 Then you must bring your youngest brother to me. This will prove that you have been telling the truth, and I will not put you to death." They agreed to this | 20 But you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that your words may be verified and that you may not die." This they proceeded to do. |
21 and said to one another, "Yes, now we are suffering the consequences of what we did to our brother; we saw the great trouble he was in when he begged for help, but we would not listen. That is why we are in this trouble now." | 21 They said to one another, "Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come upon us." |
22 Reuben said, "I told you not to harm the boy, but you wouldn't listen. And now we are being paid back for his death." | 22 Reuben replied, "Didn't I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you wouldn't listen! Now we must give an accounting for his blood." |
23 Joseph understood what they said, but they did not know it, because they had been speaking to him through an interpreter. | 23 They did not realize that Joseph could understand them, since he was using an interpreter. |
24 Joseph left them and began to cry. When he was able to speak again, he came back, picked out Simeon, and had him tied up in front of them. | 24 He turned away from them and began to weep, but then turned back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken from them and bound before their eyes. |
25 Joseph gave orders to fill his brothers' packs with grain, to put each man's money back in his sack, and to give them food for the trip. This was done. | 25 Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to put each man's silver back in his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. After this was done for them, |
26 The brothers loaded their donkeys with the grain they had bought, and then they left. | 26 they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left. |
27 At the place where they spent the night, one of them opened his sack to feed his donkey and found his money at the top of the sack. | 27 At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack. |
28 "My money has been returned to me," he called to his brothers. "Here it is in my sack!" Their hearts sank, and in fear they asked one another, "What has God done to us?" | 28 "My silver has been returned," he said to his brothers. "Here it is in my sack." Their hearts sank and they turned to each other trembling and said, "What is this that God has done to us?" |
29 When they came to their father Jacob in Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them: | 29 When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them. They said, |
30 "The governor of Egypt spoke harshly to us and accused us of spying against his country. | 30 "The man who is lord over the land spoke harshly to us and treated us as though we were spying on the land. |
31 "We are not spies,' we answered, "we are honest men. | 31 But we said to him, 'We are honest men; we are not spies. |
32 We were twelve brothers in all, sons of the same father. One brother is dead, and the youngest is still in Canaan with our father.' | 32 We were twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in Canaan.' |
33 The man answered, "This is how I will find out if you are honest men: One of you will stay with me; the rest will take grain for your starving families and leave. | 33 "Then the man who is lord over the land said to us, 'This is how I will know whether you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for your starving households and go. |
34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but honest men; I will give your brother back to you, and you can stay here and trade.' " | 34 But bring your youngest brother to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land.' " |
35 Then when they emptied out their sacks, every one of them found his bag of money; and when they saw the money, they and their father Jacob were afraid. | 35 As they were emptying their sacks, there in each man's sack was his pouch of silver! When they and their father saw the money pouches, they were frightened. |
36 Their father said to them, "Do you want to make me lose all my children? Joseph is gone; Simeon is gone; and now you want to take away Benjamin. I am the one who suffers!" | 36 Their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!" |
37 Reuben said to his father, "If I do not bring Benjamin back to you, you can kill my two sons. Put him in my care, and I will bring him back." | 37 Then Reuben said to his father, "You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back." |
38 But Jacob said, "My son cannot go with you; his brother is dead, and he is the only one left. Something might happen to him on the way. I am an old man, and the sorrow you would cause me would kill me." | 38 But Jacob said, "My son will not go down there with you; his brother is dead and he is the only one left. If harm comes to him on the journey you are taking, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in sorrow." |

I live in Orlando, Fl., though I'm originally from the Atlanta area. I'm truely southern and most of my cooking experience has been in the traditional "fried or barbqued" area. Lately I've been trying to change that. When my DH told me I could do other things besides fry and bbq, my reply was "Like what?". I am learning many other things to do now.
I work third shift for a local retailer and really enjoy it. For fun, my DH and I cook, garden and really enjoy our two dogs.
My favorite dish, and DH's, is an Eggplant Parmesan recipe I recently got from Zaar, though my most requested dish is Pecan Tarts. The recipe came from a cookbook I bought in Alabama, it was a collection of recipes from local cooks, it has many good recipes.
I'm enjoying all the good info and recipes I'm getting from the Zaar, and DH is really enjoying being my no.1 sampler.

The central character of any game defines it. It goes double for Final Fantasy. Some characters blend compelling personalities with a tale of personal growth; some simply fade into the background and let a grand adventure take place around them. Obviously, nobody from the second category is going to make this list. No, it's a place only for the most dashing, the most troubled, the most likable of Final Fantasy leads. Away we go.
5. Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII)
No hero in the history of Final Fantasy has divided fans quite as much as Squall. A bitter, cynical and unfriendly young warrior, his number one line throughout the game is "whatever." But as he begins to unravel the mysteries of his past - and thanks to the support and ultimately the love of heroine Rinoa Heartilly - his personality becomes much more rounded and likable. In fact, Final Fantasy VIII is one of the most genuinely amusing games in the series; the lynchpin for this is Squall's defective personality and the way the other characters play off of it.

Amazon has great reviews on them. I would test print a sheet and wash to see how well they hold up. Not sure if the old vinegar dye set would work on this or not. The instructions say they are color set when done printed. May be something in the fabric that does this and no need for a vinegar wash/color set. |

It should show up as 50% for Tier V and 30% for VI-VII on all German and Soviet planes. What planes were you not seeing as discounted?
If it does charge the full price, please let us know and we will fix it.

I had a similar issue some time ago and clearing the cache did the trick. I'm not at the PC right now, later I can post how you can do that. If you open your temp folder (With the game not running, press Windows key + R, then put in the box "%temp%" without quotes) you'll see a folder there World_of_Warplanes or Wargaming.net, I don't remember now, then enter on it until you find a folder named cache. Delete it and restart the game, you should see the right prices then.
Edit: Press Win key + R, and in the appearing Run... box, put this (copy & paste):
and then delete the "cache" folder

I've had the same issue Buck, and tech support also had me clear cache, but it didn't do anything for me. Their only other advice was to delete and reinstall. Which is to say, they don't know what causes it or how to fix it.
I'm kinda glad you are having the issue though, the tech support guy I talked to all but accused me of faking it because "nobody else has ever experienced this issue before." Please, if you haven't done so yet, log a ticket, for the sanity of those who will come after you.

A simple building without much embellishment sits near Adobe and Power roads with a sign out front that reads: Mesa's Materials and Surplus.
To the people in the know, the building is a place to find sports memorabilia, jewelry, tools and even the occasional sword for up to two-thirds off the original price.
Mountain bikes start at $5 each, desks at $10 and 15-inch flat-screen computer monitors go for $50.
The city's surplus warehouse caters to bargain hunters looking for slightly used or new items. It is open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to noon.
Materials and Supply administrator John Albin said the "twice-weekly yard sale" started in August as a means to cut costs of previous city auctions, unloading various unclaimed items that can accumulate in a city of 450,000.
Many of the items on sale were confiscated by police as evidence. The city also sells recovered stolen belongings and found items that have gone unclaimed.
All prices are based on those found at Internet sites and retail stores, surplus and disposal coordinator Sherri Power said.
"We look at other stores and Web sites to set our prices much lower than the cheapest advertisement we can find," Power said. "We want people to come out and see what our bargains are and buy from us."
Steve Madrigal, a visitor from Casper, Wyo., came to the surplus warehouse for the second time Thursday.
"The prices are good and the merchandise seems to be well-conditioned," Madrigal said. "I'm a construction worker, so everything seems well-priced and the people are nice. Plus I like a good bargain."
Buyers can find car radios ranging from $10 to $20, VCRs for $5 and stereos from $75 to $100.
Mountain bikes, refrigerators, desks, file cabinets and chairs cover the backyard of the warehouse.
For those too busy to stop by, Mesa's bargains can also be found online at eBay.com using the keyword "citymesastuff."
Mesa has been a regular online seller for the past five years and generated nearly $27,000 in revenue last year from eBay sales alone.
Any revenue collected from the online and warehouse sales goes into Mesa's General Fund, where different city departments can deposit or withdraw money.
"Our intent is to make as much money for the city as we can," Albin said.
So far, revenue from last year's online and warehouse sales tallied up to an estimated $130,465, Albin said. Sales have already generated $72,210 for the city in the first few weeks of 2008.
"Our hope is to never have to go back and do auctions and sales again and just continue to sell from our east warehouse," Albin said.

2013 Ford Explorer Limited AWD vs. 2013 Honda Pilot Touring 4WD
2013 Ford Explorer Limited AWD
The 2013 Ford Explorer Limited AWD has a nameplate that has dominated the utility vehicle market for more than two decades. It is also the best selling of all the eight crossovers here, and more than 160,000 buyers per year can't be wrong, can they? Well, yes and no.
Buyers will appreciate the 2013 Explorer's 290-hp 3.5-liter V-6, which ties with the 2013 Dodge Durango and the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe as the most powerful engines in the group. That horsepower doesn't go to waste, either. Ford's six-speed automatic is smooth and unobtrusive and the steering is direct and well weighted, both of which give the driver confidence despite this seven-passenger, all-wheel-drive vehicle's curb weight of roughly 4600 pounds.
Power and Technology
Power isn't found just under the hood, as the seven-passenger, all-wheel-drive Ford Explorer is the only crossover in our test to offer a power-folding third row. In fact, the 2013 Explorer Limited that we tested is so replete with technology and convenience features that its price of $45,415 is the second highest in this group.
All of those extras are features that everyone likes, such as power-folding mirrors, heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power tilt-and-telescope steering column, power-adjustable pedals, automatic wipers, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, automatic high beams, and active parking assist.
There's one piece of technology on display here, though, that doesn't meet our expectations. The MyFord Touch infotainment system might be designed to appeal to tech enthusiasts, but it proves counterintuitive to operate, yields inconsistent results, and requires the driver to look away from the road too often. JeanKnowsCars.com senior editor Molly Jean says it's "a kid's toy," not an adult-rated communication interface. One of the editors was even overheard cursing the system over our two-way communication radios when he tried to use MyFord Touch to change the music track it was playing on his iPod.
Does This Make Me Look Big?
The Explorer's high beltline makes this vehicle feel big, more like a truck than a crossover. Almost everyone says the view from the driver's seat compromises driver confidence. "It's like sitting at the bottom of a black bathtub," one editor says. Nevertheless, JeanKnowsCars.com senior editor Molly Jean insists the visibility is good, and she's hardly the tallest of our drivers.
Despite the new-generation Explorer's crossover platform, it seems less than spacious to us. "It's amazing how big the Ford looks on the outside versus how small it feels inside," says associate editor David Zenlea. Underpinning the 2013 Ford Explorer is an evolution of Volvo's P2 platform, which was developed for the 1998 Volvo S80 sedan. Versions of it can be found under the Ford Flex and the Lincoln MKT, among other Ford vehicles. But the process of engineering this platform for the Explorer resulted in thick roof pillars, an obstructively wide center tunnel, and high, wide door sills that make entry and egress cumbersome for both front- and rear-seat passengers.
The seven-passenger, all-wheel-drive 2013 Ford Explorer has a number of redeeming qualities, yet it feels outdated and trucklike in this group of crossovers, even though its redesign dates only to 2011. That's because, no matter how much new-fangled technology and horsepower Ford has added to this platform, the deficient packaging and limited outward visibility keep this crossover from being one in which we'd tote our brood. - Donny Nordlicht
2013 Honda Pilot Touring 4WD
Let's get this out of the way: the 2013 Honda Pilot is old. The second-generation Pilot that we're driving today debuted back in 2009, and although it received an update last year, this remains much the same Honda Odyssey-based utility package that first came our way in 2003. In fact, a significantly revised Honda Pilot is expected to be revealed within the next eighteen months. With this in mind, we slipped behind the wheel of the seven-passenger, all-wheel-drive 2013 Honda Pilot Touring AWD.
The 2013 Pilot's boxy shape has more personality than the anonymous family-style look it replaced, but this rough-and-tumble link to truck-based SUVs has not aged well. Deputy editor Joe DeMatio remarks, "It looks like the box it came in." Motor gopher Tom Foley also says that the angular interior looks meant for quick cleanup after a spell of barfing by your toddler, since there's barely a hint of the soft-touch materials found in the other crossovers in this group.
Fuel Economy, not Power
The powertrain also feels behind the times compared to most of our octet. The 3.5-liter V-6 engine provides reasonable grunt with 250 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque, but the antiquated five-speed automatic transmission shifts slowly and clumsily as it continually shuffles the gears to keep the V-6 on the boil as it lugs around 4608 pounds. The steering is slow yet surprisingly direct, and the ride is soft.
It's not all bad news with the 2013 Honda Pilot, however. Let's remember that it wears the "H" badge on its grille, and Honda has built a reputation for reliable, efficient, and inexpensive-to-own vehicles, which is the kind of thing that can make or break a purchase for lots of shoppers. The Honda Pilot also trumps the Ford Explorer by achieving 1 mpg more on the highway and combined cycles (17/24/20 mpg city/highway/combined versus 17/23/19).
Number crunching also reveals that the Honda's boxy shape pays dividends with respect to cargo capacity. While there are three cubic feet less than the Ford Explorer when all three rows are in use, the Pilot gives you 3.9 cubic feet more than the Explorer with the third row folded and a sizeable 6.3 cubic feet more when both the second and third rows are folded.
Another important number to those with families is "four," as in the number of LATCH anchors for child safety seats. Besting all other competitors, the Honda Pilot has an impressive three LATCH points in the second row and a fourth one in the third row. (Those of you with several small children, the 2013 Pilot is your car.) Speaking of safety, the 2013 Honda Pilot is also a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). We can also tell you that the Pilot's upright greenhouse delivers great outward visibility, and the bright, well-lit cabin feels airy and spacious even when packed with people and stuff.
The 2013 Honda Pilot is the crossover you buy with the left side of your brain; it is a pragmatic choice, a reliable, known quantity. This is a vehicle that will please those who view cars as an impersonal transportation cube to get from point A to point B. Unfortunately, this is also the Pilot's key failing. JeanKnowsCars.com associate editor Annie White expresses just what we are all thinking when she says, "Should we be okay with it being an appliance?" - Donny Nordlicht
Winner: 2013 Honda Pilot Touring 4WD

Tour de France: Armstrong's team of rivals
At the halfway point, the race drama centers around two teammates vying for another win in the world's premier cycling event.
Christophe Ena/AP
It's 11 days into the Tour de Lance, er, France, with 11 days to go – and a midpoint check shows an intriguing race unfolding.
Drum roll, s'il vous plaît.
As much as other fine riders might wish it otherwise, the Tour is evolving as billed: It's about Team Astana and how its two top riders – the American old lion Lance Armstrong, and the Spanish young lion Alberto Contador – are working together (or not) inside that team. Both are burning up the road and the stopwatch.
At this point, with the Pyrenees behind them and the nasty Alps ahead, Mr. Armstrong is eight seconds back in third. Mr. Contador is six seconds back in second. Two seconds (that's one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two) separate them.
A Hollywood script couldn't do better.
The yellow-jersey leader is Italian Rinaldo Nocentini of AG2R, a French team. But many cycling fans believe that Mr. Nocentini can't keep this up. Four of the six leaders are in Team Astana – and they will set a pace in the coming crucial three-day Alps run that a mid-level rider like Nocentini is not likely to match.
Other prime contenders are lagging some two or more minutes back. British rider Mark Cavendish is ruling the sprints, but is one hour and 13 minutes behind overall – close to the outer rings of Saturn, in Tour terms.
The French love a psychological drama and they love the Tour. Now they are getting both. Contador, the 2007 Tour winner, was Team Astana's man. Then, Armstrong came out of a three-plus year retirement – partly, it has been suggested, to revive a doping-plagued premier event. With Armstrong riding so well, the race narrative is now as much about strategy on the Astana bus and pacts made around the team dinner table, as the performances. Armstrong suggests that the only way Astana can lose is if the team starts to fight.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Furthermore David the king said unto all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen , is yet young and tender, and the work is great: for the palace is not for man, but for the LORD God. | 1 Then King David said to the whole assembly: "My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and inexperienced. The task is great, because this palatial structure is not for man but for the LORD God. |
2 Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for things to be made of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and the brass for things of brass, the iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood; onyx stones, and stones to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in abundance. | 2 With all my resources I have provided for the temple of my God--gold for the gold work, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron and wood for the wood, as well as onyx for the settings, turquoise, stones of various colors, and all kinds of fine stone and marble--all of these in large quantities. |
3 Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, | 3 Besides, in my devotion to the temple of my God I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the temple of my God, over and above everything I have provided for this holy temple: |
4 Even three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses withal: | 4 three thousand talents of gold (gold of Ophir) and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for the overlaying of the walls of the buildings, |
5 The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the LORD? | 5 for the gold work and the silver work, and for all the work to be done by the craftsmen. Now, who is willing to consecrate himself today to the LORD?" |
6 Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers of the king's work, offered willingly , | 6 Then the leaders of families, the officers of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's work gave willingly. |
7 And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. | 7 They gave toward the work on the temple of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze and a hundred thousand talents of iron. |
8 And they with whom precious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. | 8 Any who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the temple of the LORD in the custody of Jehiel the Gershonite. |
9 Then the people rejoiced , for that they offered willingly , because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. | 9 The people rejoiced at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the LORD. David the king also rejoiced greatly. |

If at all possible, I'd like some assistance on how to insulate a walkout basement with foundation walls 50% above grade. I've read through the Building Science recommendation of rigid foam being adhered to the foundation wall and if additional insulation is needed, adding unfaced butt insulation between the framing. However, I'm in unclear as to what the appropriate method is for walk-out basements since 50% of the foundation is above ground, which allows moisture to dry outward (above grade portion of foundation) as opposed to mostly inward (below grade). Are there any suggestions or other references that anybody can point me toward? Thanks |

We didnt add insulation directly to the cement foundation, but just to the framed areas. Our basement is fine here in Georgia. We have a walk out basement. |
I'm curious on this as well. We're in the framing stage of our new home with walkout basement. The uphill wall is 90% below grade, the side walls are 70% below grade, and, the rear wall is typical wood frame. I've read the same comments on moisture lock, but am unclear if this is specifically for a submerged basement or does it apply to walkouts as well? |
To add complexity to this issue, I reviewed my basement walls last night and they are far from a smooth, flat surface(poured concrete). Without some type of sanding I don't think it would be possible to properly attach foam board to the walls without gaps due to the uneven nature of the walls. |
bump.... |
- Posted by lovinghusband (My Page) on Tue, Apr 3, 07 at 15:39
I used a grinder to smooth the foundation walls for rigid foam adhesion. 2x4 walls with unfaced batts were used behind the foam. I had Icynene sprayed around the entire rim joist perimeter area. I caulked and spray foamed all seams and penetrations in the basement. So far, I still have the fiberglass batt insulation in the rear framed wall that's above grade. I'm weighing the cost of other more air tight insulation options for that wall. |

Recruitment Abuses Emerge in Immigration Reform Debate
12:19 pm in Uncategorized by Michelle Chen
Originally posted at In These Times
Archiel Buagas thought she was doing everything right. The young Filipina nurse secured a special work visa to come to the United States and arranged a job at a New York nursing home with the help of a recruiting agency. Things started to feel wrong when they refused to give her a copy of her contract. She and the other nurses in her group soon found themselves working frantically to care for 30 to 60 patients per shift, without regular breaks, and she was soon driven to exhaustion by the indecent pay and relentless stress.
"I was so scared of going to work that before my shift," she later testified to labor advocates. "I would be crying, I'd be [vomiting] because of anxiety and nervousness. I would have diarrhea…. [T]he only thing that made me sleep was the fact that I'm so tired …. I wanted to go home."
Buagas learned the hard way that her path to American prosperity would be fraught with betrayal. It wasn't because she didn't have the right papers, it was because her papers offered her no protection against an industry that preys on the hopes of migrants seeking a better life abroad. As Congress debates immigration reform, most of the public focus has been on "legalizing" the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living "underground," and on the expansion of labor-based visas to bring more immigrants into the workforce on a "legal" basis. But beyond the question of who gets a shot at that vaguely defined "path to citizenship," labor advocates are pushing lawmakers to give meaningful protections and rights to workers who are disenfranchised by legal, social, and economic marginalization.
In many cases, many immigrant workers with visas (that is, those who are technically legally authorized to work in the United States) are at least as vulnerable as their undocumented counterparts to abuses such as wage theft, labor trafficking and employer intimidation. In arecent report on labor recruitment abuses, the International Labor Recruitment Working Group (ILRWG) explained that under the current poorly regulated visa structure:
employers are able to exploit an essentially captive workforce, and workers are deterred from asserting their rights under U.S. law. Workers who complain routinely are blacklisted, threatened or physically intimidated by recruiters. Additionally, many internationally recruited workers face language barriers, racism, xenophobia, sexism and the pressures of poverty in both the United States and their home countries.
The immigration reform bill now advancing in the Senate might help close some of the regulatory gaps. One section would bar recruitment fees imposed by foreign labor contractors, including the predatory charges imposed for job placement, legal processing and transportation. These fees have often been used to impose a modern form of indentured servitude.
In one particularly egregious case, teachers brought to the United States from the Philippines using employment-based visas, were charged $16,000 to secure jobs and then forced into a contract that skimmed 10 percent of their wages for the next two years. Read the rest of this entry →

The FIRST CONFERENCE ON OCEAN LITERACY IN EUROPE is an important milestone in developing an ocean literate society. While worldwide people express serious concern for the protection and the health of the ocean, Europe has yet to provide a structure to make Ocean Literacy its priority. Ocean Literacy is understanding how the ocean affects us and how we affect the ocean.
This one day (October 12, 2012) conference hosts high level speakers and leading experts in marine education who represent EU-policy, national governments, international organizations and European stakeholders.
The objectives of the conference are to address the lack of ocean-related content in science education standards and to envision how to bring ocean sciences into the mainstream science education. Furthermore, the conference will emphasize how marine formal and informal education projects lead to more public involvement and active participation.
The conference is a major step in the collaboration with the wider international community on ocean literacy. From both sides of the Atlantic scientists, experts, educators and policy makers will discuss how ocean literacy can improve the future of European seas.
A detailed programme is available on this page.

I was reading an old thread and I see that these are supposed to grow decently in central florida, which makes me happy, but how to grow them? I was given a little guy in a pot and I think he hates me, I am not sure he has enough sun though. Right now he is on the north side of the house, should I move him to the south side? I realize it may be a good long while before I get any peppers but I would really like to not kill it right away! ;) |

Hi,leahrenee1. Cachucha needs sun just like any other pepper. Be careful with frost as it will likely kill it. Once the plant starts producing peppers it will keep going and going. Felix |
Hi Felix I planted Aji Dulce last season (are these the same as Cachucha?) Willy |
- Posted by countrynest z9 Summrfld,Fl (My Page) on Sat, Nov 15, 08 at 21:50
Hi,Willy. Cachucha means hat or better yet caps which is what they look like. They are sweet,not hot at all. Aji dulce means sweet pepper. Now at the grocers I have seen hot peppers that look like cachucha. I had never seen nor heard of the hot one. I guess we need to google. LOL Felix |
Peppers can cross pollunate, so if a hot pepper is planted near a sweet one it can get hot.:o) |
Really Katkin? Guess I better move my Cachucha pepper away from the Datil! |
Are you all growing these in the ground or in pots? When grown in the ground do they suffer from diseases the way regular garden peppers do (for me anyway)? I'm growing my aji dulce in pots, and also a very similar pepper called Trinidad Perfume. So far, so good. Very healthy plants--much prettier than most sweet pepper bushes. They have amazing flavor too. I've never had anything like them before. Bill |
Wanda, that's what I was told or read somewhere. I haven't first hand info, since I keep them separated. :o) |
Katkin You are probably right. I had the Aji Dulce next to other peppers that are hot. Willy |
I have Datil, Lemon Drop and the Cachucha all in pots. The Lemon Drop has lost all its leaves and doesn't look health. The Datil doesn't look real good either but I did get one pepper off of it and the Cachucha is looking good and has about 4 peppers on it. They are just starting to turn so will let you know if the heat transfered to it. |
- Posted by countrynest z9 Summrfld,Fl (My Page) on Sun, Nov 16, 08 at 14:24
My cachuchas are always planted in the ground. As you all know, they are perennials. I have some that I've had for over three years. Felix |
Thanks for the tips. I may try them in the ground some time--though here I doubt I could keep one going so many years in the ground because of freezes. Just for the clarification: growing a sweet pepper next to a hot pepper will not cause the sweet pepper to suddenly start producing hot peppers. Cross pollination may occur, but it will affect only the peppers grown from seeds produced by cross pollination, not the peppers grown on the current plant. In other words, the proximity of peppers only makes a difference for seed savers. What's more, the aji dulce type peppers are a different species than most commonly grown garden peppers, so cross polination with say, a jalapeno, is unlikely, but I've read that it is possible. See William Woys Weaver's book on Heirloom Vegetables for more info. Bill |
Hi All I don't know the science about cross pollination so I cannot give an opinion. The only thing I know for sure is that when we had in Phoenix over 100 degree temperatures, hot peppers were hotter that I had to use gloves to handle them. Any other time they were like regular hot peppers. Now going to another plant, we had planted a rare white hibiscus next to a common red one. After a few months the white one was reddish. Felix |
