South Beach Diet - MOnday Monday, so good to me..View Full Version : MOnday Monday, so good to me.. soon2Bfab 04-10-2006, 07:24 AM OK...not really, I'm down 1 lb from the 2 I gained from Outback. But it's 6:30 & I'm headed to work for a meeting - yuck! I'll be back later after my meeting & Curves. What's going on with you today? Kelly J 04-10-2006, 07:30 AM Good morning Soon and all you other chicks still in bed. Soon - YUCK! Sorry you have to be to work so early on a Monday morning. Not much going on around here. Haven't started the :coffee: yet so the brain isn't yet in gear. Had a not so OP weekend, so I'm kind of looking forward to being back in the routine of the workweek. Talk to you later Ruthxxx 04-10-2006, 08:15 AM Quickie here too. Hey, I'm supposed to be retired! Why do I get up before five? Why do I have a fricking schedule these days? Where's my secretary? When's payday? :olo: There's a list of odds and ends of house jobs to do this morning and I hope to work in some more garden work and a walk with one or two dogs. :) My painting class is this afternoon and I've not even brought my painting stuff in from the car. :nono: I gotta get a grip! This is the week I will plan my food on Fitday and STICK to the plan! I do well on the planning but not on the sticking. This may also be the week I finally get my windows installed - that phone call is on my morning list. Come and chat :cofdate: before you leap into your week. want2babeachbabe 04-10-2006, 08:16 AM Good morning chicks! Well, I took one for the team this weekend. If anyone is having a craving out there, I probably took care of it for you. DH and I were out of town celebrating our anniversary. I was planning on making a relaxed P3 choices, oh but no, I decided to go all out. I ate anything I wanted even when I wasn't hungry. Bad, I know. I am back OP today and needless to say, I will not be weighing in. In fact, I put my scale up last week and decided not to weigh until the end of the month. I better get my rear in gear if I want to make my 10 lb weight loss challenge! Hope everyone has a great day. -Dee Schatzi 04-10-2006, 08:29 AM Oh you Gals are making me giggle this morning!!!! :lol3: I got up late this morn, and am just starting on my cawfee... I'll be back when I'm coherent. :dizzy: weezle 04-10-2006, 08:53 AM I need a job where I don't have to get up until 10am. I think then I'd feel better. Morning girlies. I was BAAAAAADDDDDDDDD yesterday at a cookout and gained WAY too much weight. D'oh. Hopefully it falls off quickly. I'm not changing my ticker, dangit. Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I need to finish getting ready for work. (Hurrah.) Then after work I have a phone interview with Hollywood. Wish me luck kids. Hope everyone has a great day. Lisa SunLit 04-10-2006, 09:55 AM Hmph. Monday was crap to me. I failed to lose any weight since last Monday. I shouldn't be surprised because of all the carby WW cookie-eating I did, but I don't feel I should be barred from feeling indignant. I had gotten quite used to losing 2 lbs. a week and was looking forward to leaving the 220s behind. I should head back to Phase 1 for awhile, but I'm not sure I can leave off eating fruit for two weeks. Grains I can do without. Maybe I'll do a Phase 1.5 with just one fruit per day (I usually eat at least two). On another note, does anyone eat no-fat Greek strained yogurt? I found some at Trader Joe's and it's soooo good. I'm thinking I could use it in place of Cool Whip on desserts because it'd be healthier and I still can't be trusted with Cool Whip in the house. Weezle, soon, want2, Schatzi, Ruth, Kelly, good morning! Have nice days, everyone! dare2love81 04-10-2006, 10:19 AM Good Morning Ladies!! :wave: Well it sounds as though I'm not the only one who didn't eat OP this weekend, so now I don't feel as bad. Must've been something in the air...but I did face the scale this morning, and much to my amazement, it hasn't budged - in either direction. Whew. That's a relief. But it's still not helping towards my goal of an 8lb loss this month. I PROMISE I'm going back OP as of today - and no more cheating. Now that TOM has left town for a few weeks, that should help considerably. (I hope) :dizzy: Not too much else to report on today, except that it's supposed to get up to 65 degrees today!!! :carrot: :carrot: DB and I took out the patio set and grill over the weekend. I'm itching to get my hands in the dirt, but I don't think we've seen our last frost yet. :( So I will just have to sit and be patient for a few more weeks. Patience seems to be a virtue that I haven't acquired yet. :lol3: Weezle - I'm with ya on finding a job that doesn't start until mid morning. I'm not now (nor have I ever been) a morning person. And I'm not a :coffee2: drinker, so that makes it even harder!! :goodluck: on the interview with Hollywood!! Soon and Steph - Thanks for the compliment on the avatar! DB was having fun taking pics of me - that was my fav. I was a little hesitant to post it becuz of all the other beautiful beach babes out here!! ;) To all the other beachies out there, good morning!! :wave: Here's to an OP day everyone!! Nicole pearshape 04-10-2006, 10:29 AM Good morning, chickies! Another week starting means another week just got over and I'm that much closer to being done with grad school. Seriously, that's how I measure my life now. I'm really starting to hate it.....even worse than when I started to hate it before. Too much work, nothings ever done..anyway! Don't mean to start the morning off complaining but I just needed to vent. I'm having my coffee and my oatmeal/TVP is in the microwave. I find that by adding 1/4 C steel cut oats and 1/4 C TVP it makes a much more filling and satisfying b'fast. I'm full for hours and hours. I think I'll add some blueberries to it this morning. Soon, have a good workout! YOu must be gettin some good tone with all your working out lately! good for you KellyJ: just get back OP this week and everything will be OK! :) Ruth: Well, you sure are a busy retiree, that's for sure. AT least you enjoy everything (or most) that you do. How's the little mama-to-be doing? want: thanks for taking one for the team! I was too selfish to do that this weekend :D ! it'll be OK, just get right back OP. YOu'll do it! schatzi: are you coherent yet?? Where is our Schatzi?? weezle: i've too have been getting up late ever sine dl savings time. seems all I want to do lately is sleep! have a fab day! sunlit: i've seen that greek yogurt but it seemed so expensive. $4 for a single serving. is it really worth it? i dont have a trader joes here but have seen it at whole foods. everyone else, have a great OP day! RNMOM 04-10-2006, 11:42 AM Hey everyone, just a quick fly-by this morning. Dreary day and I'm so ready for sunshine. Hopefully later this week. I'm off to finish some clinicals for my class and then maybe a nap. Wasn't so OP over the weekend but I did go for a short run. Ruth, you may not have a payday, but you aren't in danger of being fired:D Schatzi, WAKE UP!!!!! Soon, want2b, kelly and weezle, sunlit, dare2....I'm with ya'll, back to being good starting today. I hate the thoughts of phase 1 again, I love fruit. pear, I hate working on my bachelors bad enough, I can't even imagine grad school at my age. Hang in there. Well, I'm off, take care everyone!!! Kiko 04-10-2006, 11:44 AM Good morning gals! I have been MIA for a week or so. Major funk, just not much to say..... I am feelng much better today and feel like things might just be okay. 32 days left of school, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I think that this school year has been the hardest for me- going back to work with two kids and a husband who works all the time has been a beating. Don't get me wrong- I am blessed beyond belief with beautiful kids, a job, a husband who loves me- I am just OVERWHELMED most days!!!!! I look forward to catching up and getting back in the loop. Hope everyone has a great day! SunLit 04-10-2006, 11:51 AM sunlit: i've seen that greek yogurt but it seemed so expensive. $4 for a single serving. is it really worth it? i dont have a trader joes here but have seen it at whole foods. Eeek, $4 for one? I think I got it for $1.50 for 6 oz. Still more expensive than the $0.38 I like to spend on yogurt, but I really wanted to try it. It may have to be more like an every now and then treat even at this price. But yes, it's wonderful. Really thick and creamy. beach bum 04-10-2006, 11:51 AM Good Morning Ladies Well!! Its a new week and it time for me to get started to get the pounds off before the summer comes.Didn't do too good this weekend,having those T.V. dinners really brought my weight up. I had the chance to cook a real meal but was too lazy to prepare it.Heres to next week. The weather is getting nice now, I have to bring some spring clothing up from the basement,look them over for mending and sorting them for the wash. Congrats to all who lost this week,hopefully I'll be with you weightwise next week. I'm planning to GET OFF THOSE T.V. DINNERS that have lots of sodium in them and eat more healthy,than I have been doing the last couple of days. Have to go, will try to post later Hugs :) BB Stephanie Osborne 04-10-2006, 12:35 PM Morning girls, Mark this date on you calendars...this is the first Monday since I joined 3fc that I have not had to recount my dieting sins and missed workouts. I did both strength training and cardio this weekend and although I was not angel with the eating it was within my calories. Got new sneakers as a treat from DH for my heard work over these last few weeks. The scale has rewarded me with another lb gone. YAY! I may make my loss goal this month. On a sad note got stung by a wasp Sat and found out I am mildly allergic. My hand is swollen like a tennis ball and itchy as all heck! So even though today is strength training day I doubt I can hold my weights so it will have to be cardio now. Well have a good day chickies...I am working from home today so I will be checking in. SOON - it is always easier to put on than take off...but I know it will come of...your pretty dedicated. kelly - workweek helps me stay OP too, have a good day. ruth - you are a busy bee like always. Yeah...you ARE retired aren't you supposed to be relaxing in MAui right now? dee - awww don't be so hard on yourself it was your anniversary...like you said just get into gear and make up for it :) weezle - good luck on your interview hun! sunlit - I would do ph 1.5...after all one weekend of overindulgance shouldn't make you go all the way back to the drawing board. Nicole - morning, it is going to be nice here, I am so happy because I can start grilling again. I am a mess when it comes to gardening want to come do mine? pear - I always wondered whats steel cut oats were. I have a cylinder shaped thing of oats that I think say they are rolled...??? I have a number of recipes that call for them but I am clueless. kiko - I am glad you are back kiko, I had noticed that absense of your smiling avatar. It is ok to be overwhelmed hun, you have the American Dream and no one said that things were going to be easy! I know you can handle it though. bb - back away from the t.v. dinners! Ha this coming from a restaurant aholic! pinkeagle 04-10-2006, 12:45 PM I was really ready to moan, groan and have a true confession time on the board this morning--but everyone beat me to it :headache: Without going into all the fun times I had since Friday, and all the goodies I ate that weren't on-plan, suffice to say "ditto" to everyone else's posts--I didn't even weight myself this a.m. cause couldn't face the # :stress: Don't think I need to go back to Phase I--will see if cravings are ok--but it's back OP --and I mean OP--for the week! Schatzi 04-10-2006, 01:50 PM Schatzi reporting back: :write: Cawfee Tank on Full!!! My My My, musta been quite a strong undertow to take our chickies off the beach into the Sea of Sin :devil: Okay Life Guard Shatzi says :coach: YOU'SE GUYS HAVE SWUM TOO FAR OUT - :frypan: BACK TO THE BEACH!!!!:beach: Stephie: did you take some Benedryl??

RNMOM: You git yer booty back ta daily postin ya hear :listen: :tantrum: Pearseydew: GAWD!!!!! WHEN THE H*LL do "we" graduate?????? I want pics dang it!!!! Ruth: You and that painting class Sheesh!

On a positive note, I finished my first month at Curves.... Drumroll please!!! I lost over a FOOT (thankfully not vertically, as that would put me in the oomplaloopah category :dz: ) Yes 14.25 inches gone! and 3 pounds of FAT :sumo: of the 8 pounds I'm down.. :bubbles: :encore: :dancer: I'm off to doooo some crafts................................! Demeter 04-10-2006, 01:51 PM Good morning - almost afternoon. I am getting my butt back into gear this week. I'm going to make sure I get back into my gym schedule, with a VENGENCE! I know I can do it. Yesterday I was at NY & Company, trying on skirts & the size 12 was too big! :cb: :cb: :cb: Super Duper Yay 4 Me! Before I started the diet, I was almost into a 16 & I'm only 23 & haven't had any kids. I'm sorry, I don't mean to gloat, but that was a big milestone for me. This is gonna be a short work week because of Good Friday - Praise the Lord! I'm so glad. Cross your fingers that the scale will go down for my weigh-in tonight. P.S. The zoo was great! What a perfect mini getaway! want2babeachbabe 04-10-2006, 02:23 PM Congratulations Stephie, Schatzi, and Danielle! weezle 04-10-2006, 02:31 PM OK so after all those finger crossings, well wishes, good lucks, and prayers, my Hollywood interview has been bumped to tomorrow. Sigh. At least I'll get a good work out tonight, though. I'm going to do some interval running and lift some weights in hopes of losing some of what I've put on. I told you I'm not changing my ticker, but I'll tell you that I have 19 lbs to lose by June 10 (do the math, girls) so I'm hoping some of the weight is pre-period weight that snuck up and hopped on with the real pounds I've gained. Moo. I sooooooo want out of this job. Do I whine about this enough? New and improved garbage to put up with every day, it seems. Good news with DH's job though. After working his 2nd full week, he got called into the boss' office and they told him that they're bumping up his pay $1/hr. I'LLLLLLLL TAKE IT! We need every little bit we can get. Fortunately, DH's vacation time that didn't get used from his last job showed up on his last paycheck. That's very helpful for paying bills and making sure we can get clothes for Key West and such. Well, back to work. Hope you all are doing fine. Lisa want2babeachbabe 04-10-2006, 02:38 PM Lisa, If you don't mind me asking, what kind of job is this you are wanting? I'm not sure if I missed that in a previous post. -Dee soon2Bfab 04-10-2006, 02:41 PM Schatzi - great job at Curves!!!! HURRAY! angelshine90 04-10-2006, 02:58 PM Hey everyone- *sigh* i have been Really really really bad latley- infact my tinker is lying about 4 pounds- YUK! Back on the band wagon..yet again.... weezle 04-10-2006, 03:25 PM Want - retail management, customer service, and sales are all my specialty. The interview is for Store Director of Hollywood Video. And incidentally, they were just kidding about having a mandatory conference call, so the interview is today again. Not doing the interval running or weights then, probably just 1.5 miles in the neighborhood. Yeesh. So anyway, don't forward those good lucks, finger crossings, well wishes, or prayers to tomorrow anymore. Keep them around for today. Craziness! want2babeachbabe 04-10-2006, 03:36 PM Oh, that's great! I was just wondering what glamourous job you were hoping for in Hollywood, CA!! Good luck today. -Dee weezle 04-10-2006, 03:47 PM OH! No, no, no, no, no. Hollywood VIDEO. Just to clarify for everyone else. Haha I wish California. :D cottagebythesea 04-10-2006, 07:45 PM SCHATZI ~ Hurray on your success with Curves! STEPHIE ~ Too bad about your wasp sting, ouch! Benadryl does wonders for the swelling, I hope your hand gets back to normal fast! SUNLIT ~ I love the Greek Yogurt and stock up on it whenever I'm at TJ's. I just discovered our Wegman's carries it, too, but it cost a little more. It's hard to go back to regular yogurt after eating the Greek kind, it's so yummy! WEEZLE ~ Here's another "good luck" wish coming your way - I hope you get the job! DH and I spent all day yesterday mulching the flower beds and by the time we called it quits I was just too pooped to post! The mornings are going to be really rushed for me all this week because little Maggie is on her spring break and I have to be at their house by 8 every day. Tomorrow I'm keeping Audrey out of school and my DIL and I are taking my GD and Audrey and Maggie to Hershey to take the "Chocolate Factory Tour". The kids are really looking forward to it, it should be fun. I just hope it won't be too hard for me to resist sampling all the chocolate! Later in the week we plan to go to the Herr's Potato Chip factory to see how they make potato chips, but that won't tempt me at all since I don't care for potatoes. Hello to all of you! jazztap10 04-10-2006, 07:49 PM Hello everyone! I haven't written in a couple days! Sorry! I've been run down witha cold and I'm still feeling real awful. I just wanted to pop by and say hello to everyone! Hope everyone has a good day! vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Kenny in the firing line as IFA Budget campaign targets TDs
Published 19/12/2012 | 06:00
The Farm Assist cuts in the Budget have been strongly criticised by both the IFA and opposition parties.
IFA president John Bryan said the decision to change the qualifying criteria for Farm Assist would hit the most vulnerable low-income farmers.
Mr Bryan said the new guidelines for Farm Assist could cost a married farmer with two children close to €2,500 a year.
"In many cases, these farmers will also take the hit on other farm schemes, which underlines the disproportionate and unfair nature of what the minister has done," he said.
The cuts to Farm Assist, which are estimated to deliver savings of €4m, have also been slammed by Sinn Fein.
Sinn Fein's agriculture spokesman, Martin Ferris, said the changes to the scheme would cost the most vulnerable farm families up to €40 per week.
"There are around 11,000 farmers on the scheme and around 70pc of them are in western counties where low-income farm households also avail of the threatened Disadvantaged Area Scheme which likewise contributes a small but essential element to family farm incomes," Deputy Ferris said.
"It is therefore vital that the scheme is maintained as it is as the proposed cuts would consign people in an already difficult situation to one that will be much worse."
However, Minister Coveney defended the cuts to the Farm Assist scheme, despite the equivalent payment to fishermen remaining unchanged.
"I take responsibility for the Farm Assist cuts because they were made by my Government. But Farm Assist wasn't the only one that was targeted.
"There were no easy options left in terms of welfare budget cuts since this was the sixth budget in a row of cuts," Minister Coveney told farmers at last week's ICSA AGM in Dublin.
Meanwhile, the IFA said it would continue lobbying Government ministers and TDs in an effort to get the farm sector Budget cuts reversed.
Yesterday, farmer protesters targeted Taoiseach Enda Kenny's constituency office in Castlebar, Co Mayo.
Similar protests were held in a number of locations across the country over the weekend. Mr Bryan said cuts to schemes such as the Suckler Cow Welfare Scheme, the Disadvantaged Area Scheme, the Sheep Grassland Scheme and Farm Assist would slash the incomes of thousands of farm families.
"The cuts by the Minister for Agriculture Simon Coveney to farm schemes have delivered a hammer blow to all farmers, and especially the low-income livestock sector," Mr Bryan said.
"Following a number of similar protests over the weekend, we expect the TDs to bring the message back to Minister Coveney, as he is responsible for the unfair targeting of farmers who rely heavily on farm schemes," he added.

The nonprofit Step By Step, Inc. and the City of Dubuque enlisted the Law and Policy In Action team to rehabilitate and transform an 1890s brownstone into seven universal design apartments and a community kitchen for use by persons with disabilities and other tenants. We conducted legal research, reviewed floor plans and drawings, conducted site audits, developed tenant eligibility preferences that HUD approved, as well as lease and application materials, assisted with technology and web access and hosted guided tours during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The project has won several awards and received media coverage.

Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.

What's in the Works at BioLogos
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
From the Dust: Evolutionary Creation
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.

Course Description
This course is an introduction to the emerging theory and ethnography of public culture. It takes culture to be: 1) a public circulation of signs, discourses, goods, sensibilities, imaginaries, desires, expressive forms, etc. and 2) a circulation which is also located, or made social, political, and sensate in institutions, laws, forms of publicity, publics, social movements, physical and social spaces, subjectivities, etc. Public culture impacts, and gives form to, circumstances, identities, surges of power, and structures of feeling in every arena from everyday life practices to nationalist ideologies. We will discuss the public sphere and publics, emergent affect, the charged border between things public and private as forms surge into view or submerge into hiding, the simultaneous exhilaration and anxiety of neoliberalism and consumer culture, the desire for public recognition and public form, and the circuits of circulation evident in technologies, industries and professions. We will be studying public culture with a particular view to its cultural generativity or poesis; to this end, we?ll be thinking theoretically about theories of hegemony, transgression and excess, articulation, emergent structures of feeling, the surge of affect, power?s productivity, and the delineation of the practices of everyday life.

Toyota Yaris Prices Paid and Buying Experience
obliviusme Posts: 1
silver07yaris Posts: 1
toyotadave Posts: 1Experience was not that great. The local dealership only had 2 Yaris on the lot. Both starting at $14,600...automatic, and just more stuff than I needed. After explaining to our sales rep's boss what we were looking for (manual tranny, no frills) he tried to talk me into buying a Corolla.
After threatening to go elsewhere he explained that the other Toyota dealer in the area didn't have a manual Yaris either. When I said threatening to go elsewhere, I was thinking places upwards of 100 miles away.
After we both got on the same page, he told me he could order a manual tranny Yaris, with Convience pack for right around 13,300.
I had the car the next morning and love it to death. My intentions were to just use this as a temporary car until I was able to pay it off, and then upgrade from there. After driving it now for a week...I might just hold onto it as long as I can. -
flyguy6 Posts: 3Hi all
I got a blue 4 door hatch (Canadian car). Love it, but one thing I've noticed is that the idle isn't steady. It settles to about 600 rpm or something, then it slowly dips, until the idle becomes a little rough, then it jumps up to about 800 rpm for a bit, then settles down and the whole thing starts up again.
Has anyone else had this issue?

attherx Posts: 2I am close to buying a new Yaris. Today I went for my first test drive here in Portland. I went to Ron Tonkin Toyota on 122nd.
After a test drive, the sales guy asks me if I want to come in and talk about figures. I said I would like to know how long/difficult it would be to get exactly what I am looking for. Next thing I know the sales manager is singing this tune about how entry-level cars have no mark-up. He thrusts a piece of paper my way and says "So, if everything is okay with you, just sign here." I look at the paper and it's a contract for 60 months @$300 a month. That's $18,000 for a MSRP of $14,000. I hadn't even told the guy exactly what I wanted and now he wants me to sign a contract?
The sales guy was cool, but the sales manager was seriously mistaken to try that shyte with me. No way I would go back to a place like that. -
rerednaw Posts: 16Sorry I'm out over in the west (Nevada). But the best price I got (Hatchback Yaris) was $12,207 (and it was NOT easy to get a decent price). It is sad that so many dealers try to take everyone to the cleaners...
Have you tried Costco pricing? They usually come in around $150 over invoice for little cars like the Yaris.
Good luck!
edit: just wanted to add that price was at the end of the year, before the recent increase. -
carnoobie Posts: 2A final price of $14,741 (taxes, fees already included) for the same '07 hatchback and options. My offer was within the same range as the MSRP. I haven't fully negotiated yet, but after seeing what you were offered, I think I got a pretty good deal.
Did you check edmunds.com's TMV for it? I looked, and my offer of $14,741 is right in the ballpark. You might want to check out another dealership. -
carnoobie Posts: 2Out the door price of $14,741. Auto trans, power package, keyless entry, carpets, fold down rear seats (though I think that's standard for the Hatchback). So, deal or no deal? Looks like a sweet offer, but do you think I can negotiate further? Salesguy gave me $300 over invoice, and said that was the best he can do. I think he can do better, but I'm horrible at negotiating. This is my first car buying experience, too. Any thoughts?
lok888 BostonPosts: 1,788One local dealer in Boston quoted for Yaris Hatchback with these options. All without side airbags and ABS options. How's that? I thought Power Package comes with 15" alloy wheels. But they only mentioned steel wheels with wheel covers.
* 5 speed, with Power Package - $12626
* Auto, without Power Package - $12762
* Auto, with Power Package - $13484 -
lhanson Posts: 268I just bought my second Yaris from Wolfchase Toyota in Memphis on 4/14/2007 (my son now has the first one). I paid $13,200 ($13,689 MSRP) for a Polar White hatchback with AT, Option package A, arm rest and floor mats. This was the one with the least fluff stuff on the lot. Last year on 4/30/2006 I had to pay full MSRP for an MT hatchback. They must have had close to 10 hatchbacks to choose from versus 1 last year.
victory45c Posts: 1I live in Southeast Missouri. I can get a Yaris for $14,272. - The price includes all fees and discounts. - The options are:
Yaris 4-door Sedan
Manual Transmission
Silver color exterior
Charcoal color interior
Factory options:
PQ - Power package (with ABS) -
CP - Cold weather package -
KE - Keyless entry -
FE - Emissions -
EF - Bumper protector -
CF - Carpet floor mats -
Dealer options:
Tinted windows
Synthetic oil
Less than 200 miles (they have to pick it up elsewhere)
Is the price good?
Is it worth it? -
lhanson Posts: 268You have kind of an unusual configuration. Most people are trying to save money by getting a Manual Transmission, but you have the most expsensive option package with it. I have the least expensive option package with a Automatic Transmission. You have a very reasonable documentation fee at $55 compared to the $348.50 that I had to pay.
kenc9 Posts: 7All I wanted was the air and maybe a radio, I wanted the cheapest car they had and they offered this one. I didn't ask for the power package but this was what we got. We wanted the 5 speed for fuel savings and power. I am not sure why this was offered to us because we only wanted a bare bones car with air and radio. This one was their cheapest Yaris so we took it. I had no idea how much this package was worth because we never shopped it.
I think we got lucky! -
lhanson Posts: 268I think that your fuel savings are going to neglible with the MT (1.6 mpg) according to www.fueleconomy.gov, but you probably do get a little more power with the MT and you probably did save about $800 on the front end, and it will probably cost less in repairs over the life of the car if you aren't too hard on clutches.
bamacar Posts: 749My experience with a manual versus automatic, in spite of what the EPA says, is that the highway is all about rpms so many autos actually do as good or better on the highway these days. In the city, the manual is worth 2-4 mpg because of the ability to better anticipate situations and shift to the proper gear. The control and smoothness of the manual leaves any automatic in the dust especially on a small car with just adequate power.
lhanson Posts: 268
ducci Posts: 1I have yet to close a deal as I am still pitting dealers against each other. I will use at least five dealers and let them fight it out as to who wants take my money. So far I have an offer (second dealer and better offer) to purchase the car for $13,100.00 out the door for the PQ package with fog lamps and manual trans. and 15" steel wheels. I have found the(a)supplier of the cruise control systems that the dealers use for $250.00. Will find out this monday how much the dealer wants to install it. Probably do it myself.
Do any current owners have any comments about the car? Like reliability, comfort on long drives etc. -
ike3 Posts: 81Last night while on NYS Thruway (I-90) at Pembroke rest area, I saw a parked Yaris 5 door hatch. Okay, the "5th" door is the trunk opening. It was orange in color (it was at night, streetlight illuminated), and clearly it was a hatch. It had Ontario plates on it. I liked it better than the 3 door hatch. Anyone out there know if and when this version is coming to the States?

Public consultation focuses on pedestrian facilities and hawker zones; residents not satisfied with proposal
The third and final public consultation on the proposed Urban Redevelopment of T. Nagar organised by the Chennai Corporation on Thursday started almost an hour late and ended too soon to be of much help to residents. Less than an hour was spent to hear public concerns and views.
For an overview of the proposed developments, click here
Click here to find out what stakeholders have to say
Lack of time and ears were not the only complaints. Residents of T. Nagar were concerned that the proposals outlined by the Corporation through its consultants were more to service and improve the shopping areas than the residential ones.
"We are not against development. What we oppose is growth without concern for the common man" said V. Ravichandran, a long-time resident of T. Nagar.
In 2009, the Chennai Corporation had requested the Tamil Nadu Urban Infrastructure Financial Services Ltd (TNUIFSL) to comprehensively redevelop T. Nagar to ensure smooth traffic flow, integrate commercial activities and improve environmental quality. The TNUIFSL, in turn, appointed Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) and Townland Consultants to workout the plans.
A seven-square kilometre area around Panagal Park was delineated for detailed study and planning. After holding two consultations in 2010 and 2011, the third and final discussion was held on Thursday.
The Chennai Corporation has now firmed up the plans and proposed 10 key projects: pedestrianisation of Thyagaraya Road, South Usman Road and areas around Panagal Park; dedicated hawker zones in the pedestrian areas; an elevated skywalk connecting Mambalam railway station and T. Nagar bus terminus; redesigning of Panagal Park; integrated traffic signals and multi-level car parking at four locations. Existing flyovers across three roads are to be extended and two additional bus terminuses near Valluvar Kottam and Saidapet are to be built. Measures to improve stormwater drainage and public conveniences were also outlined.
The consultants claim that these proposals will increase the pedestrian circulation space in T. Nagar from the existing 8,000 sq. m. to 28,000 sq. m. The plan would create space for 1,180 vendors and decrease congestion on roads. The four multi-level car parking lots would provide parking space for 1,636 cars and 1,480 two-wheelers.
An important four-lane road connecting Doraiswamy subway and G.N. Chetty Road, running deep below Panagal Park with a multi-level underground parking, recommended in the 2010 interim plan has been dropped. So is the proposal to construct various commercial nodes such as a vegetable market near the station.
References to any modification to the land use plan or revision of Floor Space Index (a ratio that determines the maximum extent of construction in a plot), which were referred to in the inception report were conspicuously absent.
The Corporation was also silent on T. Nagar residents' demand for a moratorium on commercial development, demanded by the local citizen groups during the fist consultation meeting in 2010.
The officials involved in planning said that prevention of further commercialisation and other land use control measure would be recommended to the CMDA. Residents yet again raised the need to plan for better residential areas.
"Entry and exit to residential by-lanes of main roads have been blocked because of commercial activity. Noise pollution is also high," said Basheer, a resident.
Many also said that encroachments and building violations in T. Nagar be stopped and removed. If this could be achieved, there would not be any need for elaborate plans such as the current proposal.
"Corporation has given proposals that may cost crores. Unfortunately it has not taken into account the experience of residents who actually have micro-level solutions that would only require small amount of money," said K. Babu, a resident.
Mayor Saidai S. Duraisamy in his concluding remarks said views of residents, given in writing, would be taken into consideration in order to correct the wrongdoings of the past that led to haphazard development. He also stressed the need for a review of earlier initiatives that were put on hold because of political compulsions.

A novel by Anthony Burgess
The unexpected death of a crew member of the spaceship Argo during a ten-year voyage to a newly discovered, potentially habitable planet plunges the space-weary crew into a nightmare of suspicion as one man attempts to expose a murderer. Sawyer's first … see full wiki
Golden Fleece is a murder mystery - but the mystery is not who, we know that right away, it's the "why?" and "will they be caught?" The untangling of these two questions - aboard a generational ship, making it a locked room mystery for the passengers - has the backdrop of the psychology of a generational ship and how man deals with Artificial Intelligence.

Chef Adi Cohen maintains his family's tradition of good Italian fare from Lombardy. The soft lighting is easy on the eyes, and the lack of decoration is not a shortcoming in the very intimate setting: large, tastefully framed wall mirrors add depth to the room. The service is professional and friendly. A starter menu includes great traditional dishes like ravioli (the stuffings change: look for seafood or truffles), and a superb lasagna and cannelloni combination. Especially
interesting among the entrées are the tender piccatina con funghi (thinly sliced veal with lemon and mushrooms), tournedo dello chef (beef fillet with white wine, truffles, and porcini mushrooms) and tournedo Modena (beef fillet with balsamic vinegar and leek sauce). The house red wine is excellent.

What do you think of the
Airhole Holmesclava
? Share a...
This mask is super thin and had a nasty smell are the first two things i noticed once i opened the package, the smell went away once I let it sit outside the packaging for a day or two. Wore it to the mountains just a few weeks ago when it was 20 degress out with a wind chill that brought the temps down to about 0 and was blown away by how well it worked even though it was really thin, not once was I cold or having to worry about it falling down like a bandana. I will be using this everytime I go out! I would highly recommend this to others!
Pretty good overall
Wore this sucker on the cold mountain in VT last weekend. It's the new model where you can pull the face part down to breathe easier and pull in up into place when you need the extra protection from the cold. It's just a light poly fabric with no liner so it doesn't have that nice comfy feeling against your face like some other facemasks, but it did the job of keeping my face from freezing, and also protected my head (I shave it)under my helmet.
Overall pretty cool. If the part that you could pull up over your face were fleece lined (or the whole thing was) it would be perfect.
As for the smell, I threw it in the wash when I got it and had no issues.
Surprisingly Thin
These full "ninja masks" by Airhole aren't really worth the money if you're buying it to stay warm. Airhole also makes the half-mask (it only covers you from your nose down) and those are made with a substantially thicker and warmer material. In comparison the full mask is made of a very thin nylonish material that serves nothing more than to look cool. I hope your cool-factor will keep your face warm...
Do these have a liner? On the Airhole...
Do these have a liner? On the Airhole site it looks like just the regular masks have a liner and the ninja masks don't.
these are 100% polyester .... so no liner. sorry lobster!
Did the Real Ninjas Smell this Bad???
Holy S%$%. The thing absolutely wreaked. I couldn't tell if they were stored in cat urine, or formaldehyde! Once through the wash took care of the odor. As for riding, we'll see. The thing is so thin it can't be good for much more than hidin' your ugly mug.
I have a couple of their other products, and like them allot. If I was lookin' around now, Id definitely put the cash into a something different.
great mask,u can pull the top head down to look like the regular ninja mask,you dont have to worry about it being lose or falling off like the other airholes . The smell is bad when you first take it out of the bag.Just spray it with something and leave it out,smell is gone after 2days .
Strong chemical smell! Bleach? I like it. Bummer about the smell though. Still is a real sick ninja mask.
Good as expected
I bought the black one which has the best design of all I think. Haven't ridden with it on but tested at home, it goes well under the helmet it's a stretch cloth and will definitely fit anyone, thanks to the hole it's good airflow and the hole doesn't seem goofy to me, especially on the black mask it's almost invisible. The cloth is fully synthetic so moisture should permeate and dry quickly. I guess there's no other product designed quite like this one.
The bad thing is that when new and right out of the box it smells strongly with some really sick toxic smell, I'm keeping it outside and maybe will wash and rinse it a few times before usage.
functional ninja masks
built as good as airholes face masks, works nice with helmet or just roll it solo ninja mask style.

Re:Ascent-descent patterns do repeat (234 comments)
There is a natural cohesion to it nonetheless which comes from the fact that they are always muliplying by a power of 3 to get to the next note, unless you jump off the end and start again so to speak. When you consider that there are 12 separate and distinct notes, interesting things happen in music when you divide the notes (chromatic scale to be specific) symmetrically and is a widely understood phenomenon, and gives rise to many of the patterns you hear in music. 3 into 12 is possibly the most versatile of them all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Slonimsky
There is definitely a harmonic pattern, and this music by no means is pattern free, just that they don't play the same note twice. Interesting but a false premise. If it were played with an even tempo the patterns would emerge even more. It could easily be made more ugly, try overlapping some of the notes in another sort of pattern for one, like running two different sequences at the same time, or even varying the durations then we'd see ugly, and that's just for starters. The ugliest piece of music, bah.

Re:Not a good public rep (311 comments)
So you form your opinion based on what you watch on TV? I know CNN is not Fox, but neither is Democracy now. I'd say on that spectrum, CNN is closer to Fox. One of the charges that the OWS people are saying is that the M$M is lying to us left and right, and if you choose to entertain that notion for even one second you must logically deduce that trying to understand the movement through the eyes of its enemies is indeed impossible to achieve.
Go to one, talk to people there. Yes you will find drum beating hippies, yes you will find incoherence, but what is not widely seen on TV is that you will also find incredibly articulate mostly (but not all) young people who are not apathetic and want to make some changes in the world to make it a better place, and are willing to get off the couch and do something about it. That should make you wonder about the common narrative of youth today. If you cannot do that for whatever reason (not local enough, home responsibilities whatever) You can actually see a lot of it live online through livestreaming. Youtube also has a lot of information. At least try to see the narrative through the eyes of the people who are making the statement and not the detractors before making your opinion.
Or you could vote, or you could contact your representative. I did it this week, I tried to fit my concerns into a 2000 *character* limit box on my state representative's website. Not big enough, so I called asking for an email address and was told, that (s)he was too busy for that. Huh? Upon further pressing I was told by the staffer that I could fax and he gave me a fax number. I'm guessing that's a dead letter office right there. Either that or they compile all the faxes into stacks and then process all the info that way (which a staffer from another office told me that's how they do it.) Faxes? Are you kidding me? So the state instead of using email and search capabilities etc. etc. (grep anyone?) instead chooses to use dead trees to compile reams of concerns? At the cost of the taxpayers. Again why should I be surprised, it's gubment after all - but why is that to be tolerated? That's the point here, so many things are broken and people have let it slide for far too long.

It is exactly that plan, the plan is a long term war of attrition - if anyone in the West would have actually bothered to listen to what {O | U} sama Bean Laiden said was his plan, but then you'd actually have had to get out of your comfort zone and go to AlJazeera's translation for that. His plan was that for every "dollar" the terrorist spends the US (and the West) would spend one million. It is working, at this rate they will drain us before we drain them. I'm not a sympathizer, repeat I realize that he was an enemy, but that is the clear strategy and they even said so. In our zeal to demonize and depersonalize the enemy we lose the ability to *respect* the enemy which is a terrible mistake to make in war. Isn't that from some old book somewhere? Nah, who reads books anymore, it doesn't apply to the old USA we transcend all that and make our own rules. Pride before the fall.

I don't think he was buried at sea, simply returned to his family in Saudi Arabia (that would be the truly respectful thing to do) and bury him in a private family plot not accessible to the public. If there's a coverup that's where I would bet my money, his body was flown on an Air Force jet straight to the Saudi family and buried properly there. Whether or not he was real, his death was faked, he's dead, he's alive kicking it in South America blah blah blah, one thing is sure - no one will ever hear from the man known as Osama (Usama?)

So this is based on self assessment? Ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect ? It basically says that incompetent people tend to over-rate their own abilities and vice versa (particularly true for North Americans, it's not so pronouced in Europe and even less so in Asia.). This actually gives me hope that at least some of the agents are aware of the immensity of what they are up against. If they rated themselves as being 100% up to the task then I'd truly worry.
Re:WTF? (211 comments)
Yes the ISP's handling this would be far preferable and no doubt less cost intensive than the federal government stepping in. Do the ISP's do this as a matter of course? If so then I do smell the low-tide-smell of the slippery slope. The federal government asking for access to your computer is a sign that things are broken and need to be fixed, and if there were a buck to turn here it would have happened already (it happens but it seems like a drop in the bucket to me) so the only recourse is the government who is supposed to be acting in our collective interest and is doing "what is good for us" TM
Any time I jump up and down about security at a gig I get a mostly tepid response, and in opening a business account at my bank recently I was shocked that only alphanumerics were allowed as password characters, no symbols. I ended up using all of the available characters to prove a point and the bank staffer was shocked as she had never "seen such a large password" I guess if you can't see it or feel it, the threat doesn't exist, or gets blown out of proportion to the nth degree in a sodium iodide sort of way.

Freshman Jenna Marston reached base four times and drove in four RBI in Mizzou's two games today |
March 6, 2010
SEMO Box Score | Missouri State Box Score
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The No. 4/3 Missouri softball team pushed their record to 11-2 on the season with two run-rule victories on Saturday, improving to 3-0 at the Missouri Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament. The Tigers beat SEMO 13-0 in five innings and Missouri State 8-0, also in five innings.
In game one, freshman Lindsey Muller had a breakout performance, pitching a complete game shutout while striking out three and walking zero. She also powered the offense by going 3-for-4 at the plate with two runs scored and four RBI, which included a three-run home run in the fifth inning.
The Tigers plated seven in the top of the first, picking up four walks and three hits, while also taking advantage of some fielding errors by SEMO. Muller drove in her first run of the game, beating out an infield single with the bases loaded to put Mizzou on the board. Back-to-back walks to freshman Jenna Marston and junior Marla Schweisberger drove in two more. Two defensive errors that each scored a run sandwiched senior Gina Schneider's sacrifice fly, giving MU a 7-0 lead after the first.
Missouri plated their last six runs of the game in the fifth inning. With the bases loaded and just one out, sophomore Jaydee Young drove in the team's eighth run of the game with a single to left. Another SEMO error plated Mizzou's ninth run, and an RBI groundout by freshman Rachel Hay made the score 10-0, setting up Muller's three-run dinger over the left field wall.
Mizzou once again used first inning runs to set the tone for the Tiger offense in their second game as they took on Missouri State.
In the first, the first two Tiger batters got on base, setting up freshman Nicole Hudson's RBI double to center. Two batters later, Marston roped a single into the left-center gap, plating two more.
Missouri added three more in the third, scoring all with two-outs. Marston started the scoring effort, driving home a run with her second hit of the game. Schneider immediately followed her by ripping a two-run double to left, extending Missouri's lead to 6-0.
Hudson added another RBI in the fourth, giving Mizzou a 7-0 lead, while a walkoff passed ball in the bottom of the fifth scored junior Abby Vock, giving Missouri an 8-0 victory.
Sophomore Kristin Nottelmann stifled the Bear offense, pitching all five innings while allowing just one hit and striking out seven. The single she allowed was the only Missouri State runner she let on base.
Offensively, Hudson finished 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. Marston plated three RBI and scored one after going 2-for-2 at the plate.
The Tigers will be back in action tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. CT against UMKC as they look to close out the Missouri Breast Cancer Awareness Tournament with a perfect 4-0 record. Stay tuned to mutigers.com for more information.

Red Chair Software refutes Musicmatch's warning
In a response to Musicmatch's recent warning about iTunes incompatibility, Red Chair Software, developers of Anapod Explorer, have posted a statement on its website which refutes Musicmatch's suggestion that iTunes is sabotaging its software.
"The e-mail seems to imply that iTunes sabotages MusicMatch by "deleting critical files," and some in the iPod community have speculated on whether Apple may be trying to hinder MusicMatch now that iTunes is available for Windows.
Based on our development work with our own iPod management software, Anapod Explorer, we do not believe that Apple intentionally tried to hinder third party software, nor does iTunes delete any "critical files" necessary to properly manage the iPod."

Yup. I've been using both since the launch of iTunes and all works well for me. Musicmatch was uninstalled about 10 minutes after I installed iTunes.

Musicmatch sucks and this is just a case of sour grapes on their part. Nobody in their right mind would use MusicMatch instead of iTunes with their iPod anyway, so they're fighting a losing battle as it is and they should knock it off with the conspiracy theories.

MusicMatch has always been a useless piece of software for interfacing between the iPod and the computer. I tried to used it once and never again. Anapod Explorer is perfect for my needs and I applaud Red Chair Software for always getting their updates out quickly and listening to their customer's needs. What a shame that Apple doesn't possess the same philosophy. With the hybrid release of iTunes and OS 2.1 for the 3G iPod, Apple had the third party software vendors up all night, correcting the problems it caused. But - Apple is Apple and they own the iPod, so they can do what they bloody well like with THEIR product. Since when have Intel and Microsoft closely consulted hardware and software vendors, before they decide to release new and "improved" products? It's always a game of catchup and if MusicMatch hasn't the cajones to stay in the game without whining and crying foul, it's time they got out of the software business. As for Red Chair Software… YOU GO GUYZ!!!
P. S. After installing AE 8.3.1 it set every year date back to "0" on the iPod. Well that's what it displayed, but it was a simple matter to fix it. A simple, little hint that would happen before the installation, would have prevented several minutes of swearing and cursing Red. If Red's ears were burning at around 10:30 PM PST last night - now you know why.

Wow, peep all the Music Match haters in here! Seriously, Music Match has rocked the house for a long time (we've all used it) and it's been a great piece of software…and deserves a proper funeral.

I seem to recall during installation that iTunes warned me that I would only be able to use iTunes with my iPod.
I've found this to be untrue (Ephpod still works after iTunes was installed), but Apple certainly wasn't trying to be clandestine.
Musicmatch was the most buggy piece of software I have ever used. To think that they want people to pay for their 'premium' version is appalling. Glad to uninstall it.
Posted by themantis on November 6, 2003 at 1:08 AM (CST)
As far as MucicMatch 8-iTunes 4.1-EphPod 2.7 being installed on same Windows XP PC and having issues = bull. I have not had any errors or issues using any or all three. Of course common sense tells me, opening all 3 apps to same Ipod chances are increased, which is why I open 1 at a time and have the setting of "when connected" application to open = none. Same as poping a CD in the drive and have 3 different apps accessing 1 CD = error.
My 2 cents:
I bought 15gb Ipod Windows with Dock Connector when it first came out and with MusicMatch 7.5, it was a pain to transfer music to the Ipod because it would take considerable amount of time. Didn't know why but then I found out that MusicMatch would also transfer volume leveling settings to the Ipod as well and this was why it would take such a long time. Work around, I got EphPod, sweet speed transfer and volume leveling remain intact. I upgrade MusicMatch to version 8 and still have the same effect of painful transferring so I kept EphPod with MusicMatch 8 because I like the way MusicMatch organizes music. Only thing is I have to create the list with MusicMatch, save and use EphPod to transfer which is no big deal for me.
MusicMatch 8 pros - Music organization by Artist, Album and Genres, Volume Leveling curves and conversion of MP3 to MP3pro(MP3pro can take a regular MP3 file and compress it to MP3pro so that the file has smaller size while keeping the same bitrate and quality. Apple claims Ipod 15gb holds about 3,700 songs, with MP3pro format I can hold about 5,800 surpassing the current 20gb Ipod which is claimed to hold 5,000 songs. Try it, SWEET!).
MusicMatch cons - Super slow music transfer, music store sucks, MusicMatch radio sucks.
EphPod pros - Super fast music transfer, can download news, can edit tags on the Ipod if needed and many other settings.
EphPod cons - Still kinda buggy, needs more work.
iTunes pros - still testing but so far I like the way you can have Playlists displayed, radio so far good.
iTunes cons - music organization is terrible(I don't like to have a list of every single music that's on my harddrive in 1 directory, I like to have in categories, organized like MusicMatch's. I like to know where to find the music to what ever mood I'm in, not search in a list and try to find it. With a database of over 5,000 songs=not good.) FYI-for clueless or confused, having organized music and having playlist not the same in my case-I'm a DJ, speed a plus.

i didnt like the way itunes organises your music, but, a simple fix for this is go to 'edit', then 'show browser'. this will replicate the way the ipod oragnises the files, and it does it using id3 tags too, so its easy to see where some files might be wrong and fix it fast

Huh? Play with the application a bit. You can organize the music however you want. It is true there is one folder that contains all your songs, but you can create smaller playlists with what ever organization you want. I think iTunes has the best organization system out there.

Real DJs don't use iPods and stay well away from iTunes, plain and simple.
The iPod playlists suckls, and until recently it had no cue feature or auto drop in. It still leaves gaps between songs.
Try the Rio Karma. It's got hardware assisted crossfading and pitch shifting. You'll be a lot happier.
iTunes messes up careful by-label organisation. The only program I've found that does a good job is the Media Centre, because it lets you rename directories and files using any schema you define in the ID3 tags.
Here's how my label info breaks down in the tags:
Comment - Remix info
Custom 1 - Original artist
Custom 2 - Label
Custom 3 - catalogue #
I get Media Centre to rename the files and dirs the collection organized by label and catalogue number.
My friend Tanya had an elegantly arranged label/catalogue # vinyl rip collection that iTunes completely mangled into some bizarre Artist-Album-Song rubbish. iTunes is brain damaged.

To the DJ's. I think we're wandered off the original topic, haven't "we". This was supposed to be about Red Chair Software's statement about Musicmatch's contention that Apple, allegedly tried to use some underhand tactics with the introduction of iTunes. Even a discussion on Anapod Explorer might be "on topic" as well, considering it doesn't rate its own iPodLounge Forum yet. If you need to voice your opinions about the pros and cons of iTunes, then do it in the appropriate forum. This is getting boring.

My 2 cents were just that "MY 2 CENTS".
*real djs use vinyl, not ipods or rios or whatever.*
Can't carry a vinyl in my pocket or play it on my car!
ITunes: organization sux, period! They need more work!
Sabotaging(original topic): NOT TRUE!!

Sounds like sour grapes on MM's part,because for a time I was using both without a problem,and may have to re-install MM to retrieve some songs to put into I-Tunes.
I'm still trying to figure why I-Tunes mysteriously dropped over 200 files.Can't locate them,either,and I know they weren't erased or in the wrong format.They still show up on MM though,which is weird.I'm also not thrilled about the drag and drop thing,and will have to re-order some stuff,but I'll adjust. Other than that,I can't complain. It was a clean transition otherwise. The transfer rates are great,rips are much shorter,and I don't have to create or wipe out playlists whenever I want to add songs. I had to do that with MM,which sucked.
What is the big deal about using Ipods to DJ? It's not that serious,but whatever blows your skirt up,I guess. The SoHo store featured a world famous DJ using one (either Oakenfold or VanDyk,I forget). I'm trying to figure out how to successfully integrate one into my sets.Otherwise,who the f@*! cares? Please.
