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

FACTBOX-Mexico energy reform debate
Mon Jul 28, 2008 4:56pm BST
MEXICO CITY, July 28 (Reuters) - Latest developments as Mexico's ruling
conservatives court opposition lawmakers to approve an energy reform to
allow more private investment in the state-controlled oil industry in
hopes of bolstering falling output.
Compiled from Reuters stories, Mexican newspaper reports, television and
** Energy Minister Georgina Kessel told Mexican television on Monday the
government will likely reach a deal with a key centrist opposition party
to approve an energy reform bill, though she said disagreements remain
over how to boost refining.
** Leftists held an unofficial "referendum" on oil reform on Sunday in
which more than 80 percent of participants said they were against more
private investment in the energy sector. The poll was carried out in nine
states and in the capital. The energy ministry criticized the referendum,
citing media reports of irregularities in the poll.
** Aimed at shoring up flagging production and reserves in the world's No.
6 oil producer, President Felipe Calderon proposes to let state monopoly
Pemex sweeten oil field service contracts with private companies using
performance-based bonuses. Left-wingers say that would violate a ban on
private companies exploring for and producing oil in Mexico.
** The ruling National Action Party, or PAN, will not let left-wing
legislators close Congress with sit-ins to stop an energy reform from
going ahead, said PAN President German Martinez, according to daily El
Universal. Leftist lawmakers camped out in Congress for two weeks in April
in opposition to Calderon's proposal.
** Pemex head Jesus Reyes told Reforma newspaper the PRI's proposal is
inadequate because it does not permit enough private investment in oil
transport, refineries or storage.

Refreshing netstat output with Perl
The netstat utility reveals how your Linux box interacts with the local network. With a few Perl modules, you can develop a tool that displays the data dynamically, exactly the way top does.
When you want to know which ports are currently being used, you call netstat. This practical Linux utility can be run in several modes, which the user controls through command-line options. For example, the -s option produces network traffic statistics, and -put displays the ports of all applications that are currently communicating over TCP. Both outputs are useful, but what is really interesting is the chronological progression of events rather than a snapshot at a given moment.
The top utility serves as a model for this kind of dynamic output, displaying and continually updating the CPU load, memory usage, and other basic data of currently running processes. Thanks to CPAN, creating a dynamic terminal application like this from the static output from top is not really difficult.

Intel AES New Instructions: White PaperIntel® AES New Instructions are a set of instructions available beginning with the 2010 Intel® Core™ processor family based on the 32nm Intel® microarchitecture codename Westmere. These instructions enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which is defined by FIPS Publication number 197. Since AES is currently the dominant block cipher, and it is used in various protocols, the new instructions are valuable for a wide range of applications. The architecture consists of six instructions that offer full hardware support for AES. Four instructions support the AES encryption and decryption, and the other two instructions support the AES key expansion. The AES instructions have the flexibility to support all usages of AES, including all standard key lengths, standard modes of operation, and even some nonstandard or future variants. They offer a significant increase in performance compared to the current pure-software implementations. Beyond improving performance, the AES instructions provide important security benefits. By running in data-independent time and not using tables, they help in eliminating the major timing and cache-based attacks that threaten table-based software implementations of AES. In addition, they make AES simple to implement, with reduced code size, which helps reducing the risk of inadvertent introduction of security flaws, such as difficult-to-detect side channel leaks. This paper gives an overview of the AES algorithm and the Intel AES New Instructions. It provides guidelines and demonstrations for using these instructions to write secure and high performance AES implementations. This version of the paper also provides a high performance library for implementing AES in the ECB/CBC/CTR modes, and discloses for the first time, the measured performance numbers.Read the full Intel® AES New Instructions White Paper

Towson University Class of 2014. B.S. in Electronic Media and Film with strengths in production assisting, location sound, writing, and producing. I have taken a personal and indefinite hiatus from the industry, but still communicate regularly with numerous contacts.
I'm also a seasoned musician with 10+ years of piano, guitar and voice experience. Currently, I serve as the Worship Leader and Choir Director at St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Hampstead, MD. I am also an ordained minister with the ULC and more than willing to perform your marriage or other spiritual ritual. My background is Christian, but I am decidedly secular and willing to minister to anyone regardless of your spiritual belief. I take my position seriously and I am always learning.
Additionally, I've been writing stand-up comedy on and off for the past year and a half and have performed in one classroom, three apartment complexes and a dock at Fells Point for three friends. So obviously I'm pretty on the rise.
Right now, I'm at a transitory period. Freed by the bonds of scholarly routine, I'm able to pursue new interests while maintaining old ones. I work on film and television productions when I can, perform music and stand-up, and generally try to bring as much joy and sarcasm to people's lives as I can. If you'd like me to perform at your event, work on your production, perform your marriage or anything else, please feel free to contact me!

War's certainty: a big price tag
Conflict's costs - from $6.77 meals to billions for rebuilding - are hard to predict.
In 1966, the Pentagon offered an estimate of what the Vietnam War would cost. When America pulled its troops out in 1973, the tab was 90 percent higher - $111 billion.
The Civil War, similarly, cost the North 13 times the original estimate of President Lincoln's Treasury secretary.
As the United States launches its first major war effort of the 21st century, history suggests one financial fact to bank on: The cost will be higher than forecast.
Of course, this conflict, in which the world's most sophisticated weapons are aimed at the leader of a nation with vastly inferior military capabilities - is not your typical war. Uncertainties, ranging from a quick toppling of the regime to an expensive peacekeeping aftermath - could push the tab higher or lower than even the most careful estimate.
So far, the Bush administration itself has not provided an official estimate. The White House may fear a public forecast will create a negative climate of opinion toward the war. Already, the war is seriously jeopardizing the chances of President Bush's proposed $726 billion tax cut passing. Even some Republicans in the Senate are talking about cutting that amount in half.
Nonetheless, the Defense Department and White House budget officials have been preparing a supplemental spending request. Early reports suggested it could be in the $60 billion to $95 billion range for one year, to be submitted to Congress once war starts. It would cover the war, some aftermath costs, and extra terror-war expenses.
The total tab is made up of items small and big, multiplied many times:
• About $10,000 to 15,000 per hour for a bomber run, depending the plane.
• $6.77 for each "meal ready to eat" for soldiers in the field
• $21,000 or so to convert a gravity bomb into a satellite-guided JDAM bomb.
• About $1 million for each Tomahawk cruise missile.
• $3 million a day to deploy an aircraft carrier battle group (the number deployed has gone up because of the war).

Jeff Smith, Consequences of Student-College Mismatch
Williams, David R., J.S. Jackson, T.N. Brown, T. Forman, M. Torres, and K. Brown. 1999. "Traditional and Contemporary Prejudice and Urban Whites' Support for Affirmative Action and Government Help." Social Problems, 46(4), 503-527.
Data from a probability sample of a major metropolitan area in the United States were used to examine the extent to which racial prejudice predicted variations in whites' support for both government efforts to help blacks through social and economic initiatives, in general, and through Affirmative Action programs in employment, in particular. We examined the relative contributions of traditional and contemporary racial prejudice, individual and group self-interests, and stratification beliefs to the support of race-related policies. Confirmatory Factor Analyses were used to ascertain the empirical independence of the multiple independent measures and the two policy outcomes. Similar to some previous studies, we found that all three classes of variables predict whites' support of racial policies but racial prejudice is the most important. Moreover, the contemporary forms of prejudice are most consequential in predicting levels of support for social policies designed to reduce racial inequality. Finally, controlling for racial prejudice revealed that whites who adhere to basic American values of equal opportunity, hold beliefs that some groups are dominant over others, and believe in the inherent superiority whites, actually favor Affirmative Action and tend to be supportive of government help for blacks.

This pads are amazing!!!!!!!!!!! only a couple of applications and has dramatically improved my acne and the redness is almost gone, glowing skin, I will have to see the long term effects of course....
Oh, I love these! I had been using MD Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel pads (which are great), but I was looking for something similar, but cheaper. Well, these are not only cheaper, they work better! I have oily skin, so I use a pad in the a.m. and at night, and I leave the solution on for 3-5 minutes each time. They leave my skin GLOWING, like no other product I've ever used. Update: I have moved on from these--they started to give me cystic acne on my cheeks everytime I used them. Demoted to 3 lippies.

I've only used these four times so far (every other night since I bought them) but I'm already so happy with the results. I will update after a month of use to get a better estimate of how they're working. I have very sensitive acne-prone skin that is mostly oily with some dry patches. I bought these pads on ebay for approximately $25. I apply and wait anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing. There is some stinging, but nothing unbearable and the results are definitely worth it!
I was amazed after the first use because it seemed to dry out my pimples without causing my skin to be flaky or feel tight; it just felt soft and balanced. There was minimal redness that was completely gone by the next morning. My skin is looking better and better and I'm tempted to start going without foundation. The only thing holding me back are some lingering acne scars, which I'm sure this will take care of eventually.
I love this product!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have to agree with everyone else, these things are amazing. I've been using them for a week now, and even after the first use I saw amazing results. I'm telling all of my friends about them.
They seriously make your skin glow. When I first started using them, they sting a bit, so I was worried about using them in the morning in case they made my sking red, but they haven't had that effect at all. I used the MD skincare peel pads at one time, and I liked those, but I felt like the results were minimal for the price. So far, every time I use these pads my skin looks radiant. I even had a lady at a cosmetic counter stop me yesterday to ask me what I use because my skin looked so good. As a product junkie, this has to be in my top 5 must haves.
OMG!!!! This stuff is a miracle!!!! I am a beauty junky , and have used drugstore brands to the most expensive brands in just about every genre.
I break out (not terrible, but enough to be a problem for me), have a really oily T-zone, dry cheeks, and have some age spots starting because I'm SO fair! I've been looking for this product all my life!!!!!!
My skin is practically glowing- like someone else said- it's like my skin is shining from within! I have this gorgeous clear, rosy glow and get sooo many compliments on my skin now. I get a lot of, "I wish I had skin like yours! What do you use?" Keep in mind I use absolutely NO face makeup now after getting this! I could go on for hrs about my love for this product!!! My oilyness has not improved, but I don't even care because of how clear and bright my skin is now. It has helped to soften the fine lines I'm getting around my eyes and mouth after only 1 month of nightly use. My age spots are lightening as well, and I have had 1 small zit in the entire month I've been using it! That is incredible for me!
I use Peter Thomas Roth 10% hydrating glycolic gel in the AM (another LOVE product) and use 1 Unwrinkle pad in the evening and follow with an oil free salicylic lotion I really likw from HSN. I keep the pad moving for about 1 minute, concentrating on under eyes, then I leave it sit for 20 minutes to an hour. The time you leave it on really matters in my opinion. Don't leave it on too long when you start, just build up your time gradually as your skin gets used to it.
6 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Good God! This stuff is great! I have only used one pad and I already see a difference! My skin tone was more even after one use. The texture was also better and my post acne marks were lightened. Everywhere I used it looked fresh and even. Not glowy yet, but I can see it getting there with repeated use.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
These pads are a new addition to my skin care routine.
In the past I have used many AHA and BHA products until I tried Epicuren's anti-acne line. However, after nearly a year using the Epicuren line, I decided that I missed glycolic acid, so I purchased Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinke Peel Pads based on the glowing reviews here at MUA.
So far, the pads have impressed me with their potency and I believe are softening some of my acne scars. However, I can only use them three times a week at this point and after I do, my skin really peels for several days. Therefore, I have only used three of the pads so far.
I will update after more use. I think the effectiveness of the product earns it a five, but the obvious downside of peeling causes me to knock my rating down to four.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love these pads. My skins feels smooth and polished. My blotchy pigment is more even. It tingles a bit while it is on, but it is not terrible. I leave it on for only about 5 minutes before showering each night. I follow up with my Obagi skin care routine. These peel pads have made a world of difference. In the morning, my skin looks great. I got a good deal on e-bay - $23.95 for 60 pads.
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
WOW WOW WOW!!! I'm in love with these pads!!! I have not reviewed a product in quite some time but i felt compelled to review this because the results are amazing!!!!! I have combo skin, acne prone, fine lines starting to creep up around my eyes(I'm 35) some blotchiness and large pores. Well these pads have cleared up my acne, softened the fine lines around my eyes, made my pores smaller, AND has made my skin tone more even. I've only been using these pads for about 3 weeks once daily(I cut them in half-plenty for the face and neck area)and leave it on for about 2-3 hours. Amazing!!! In such a short time I have noticed these GREAT results!!! I can't wait to see what kind of results I'll see in 2 or 3 more months! I had to share this review because I am TRULY IMPRESSED!!! I WILL repurchase! Thanks Peter Thomas Roth!!! I also just started using PTR un-wrinkle eye cream and will review that in a couple of months with my results-I had to try something else of his since this pads are so effective!:)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Excellent product! Makes my skin glow and feel more smooth than I've felt in a long time. I use one pad a night and follow with a good moisturizer. I leave it on for about 4-5 minutes and so far, so good.
I use the pads around my eyes as well and I've had no problems and I see noticeable improvement in wrinkle lines.
Will repurchase without a doubt.

I just installed a pocket door kit (Johnson 1500) using 24" solid core doors. This is for a master bathroom. To add privacy I also added door stops to the jamb to create a recess for the door edge. There will not be the standard Johnson latch so I'm wondering about sliding it closed and having something to deaden the door hit when it meets the jamb. Any ideas? I'm considering a silicone bumper or two (such as used for cabinet doors), but don't want the door to bounce off it but get muffled instead. Thoughts appreciated.
(BTW, in case anyone is wondering, the privacy lock will be a flip-out type that is installed into the door face on the inside near the split jamb side. When it's flipped open it braces the door against the split jamb.) Thanks much. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have 5 Johnson pocket doors in our home and put small, clear silicone bumpers at the very top and bottom of the door. Three of them were installed 10 years ago and still work fabulously. I love them and love the extra space in bathrooms in particular. The bumpers not only protect the wood, but also make them much more quiet. |
I thought it would work so I'll go with that plan. Thanks much. |
A small piece of foam weatherstripping at the top edge of the door usually works. It can be above the bottom of the top jamb so it barely shows. |

Debate filled with tension, but little venom
The second presidential debate was remarkable for the dourness of its mood and for the subdued demeanors of the candidates even as they tore into each other.

Oct. 15: Presidential debate, focus on domestic policy, Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y. (moderator Bob Schieffer, CBS News)Debate begins at 6 p.m. PDT on the four major broadcast networks and cable-news channels.
Debate reruns
Tuesday's debate will be available on Comcast On Demand today.
Neither presidential candidate was selling "morning in America." At times it seemed more like a competition to see who could paint the gloaming in the least unsettling hues.
Tuesday night's presidential debate was remarkable for the dourness of its mood, for the frequently subdued demeanors of the candidates even as they tore into each other, which they did with somewhat less vigor and venom than expected, given how little time remains until Election Day, given how nasty the campaign had turned in recent days.
The debate — the second of three, and the only one to be conducted in a town-hall style — came on a day the stock market closed nearly 1,700 points lower than it had on the day of their first debate. Even then, Sen. Barack Obama already was talking of the country's worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
The situation now looks gloomier still, with markets in other continents tumbling — with a world of hurt at hand. And the sort of can-do, feel-good, rah-rah exuberance that candidates sometimes bring to forums like Tuesday night's was in conspicuously short supply.
"I'm going to ask the American people to understand that there are some programs we're going to have to eliminate," Sen. John McCain said at one point, and he said it not as a defiant assertion of waste but as a rueful acceptance of reality.
Obama, referring to rising oil prices and limited oil supplies, said moments later, "There is going to be the need for each and every one of us to start thinking about how we use energy."
There were echoes — almost — of Jimmy Carter in that sentence. When was the last time a candidate vying for the highest office in the land summoned a memory of him rather than Ronald Reagan?
To be sure, there were also the usual, classic, timeless assertions of American resourcefulness and optimism, along with the inevitable Reagan reference — by McCain.
Obama noted that President Kennedy promised the moon — and the country indeed got there.
McCain said: "We can attack energy and health care at the same time. We're not rifle shots here. We're Americans!"
It was the oratorical equivalent of Gov. Sarah Palin's flag pin during the last debate, easily twice as big and twinkly as Sen. Joseph Biden's.
And there were a few moments during the long first hour — and a few more during the quick last half-hour — when the exchanges grew more spirited and tense. McCain's apparent irritation with his opponent spiked as he exhibited condescension toward his younger rival.
"By the way, my friends, I know you grow a little weary of this back-and-forth," McCain said, as he seized one of many occasions to characterize Obama as a relentless spender.
"There was an energy bill on the floor of the Senate loaded down with goodies, billions for the oil companies," McCain continued. "And it was sponsored by Bush and Cheney. You know who voted for it — you might never know? That one." He pointed toward Obama without, tellingly, looking at him.
"You know who voted against it?" he asked. "Me."
In the last half-hour, McCain — who has been falling ever further behind Obama in national polls and many swing-state polls — grew even more combative, his jaw clenching ever tighter, his words squeezed out.
And when the debate had ended, McCain hustled away, while Obama lingered, chatting with the audience and signing autographs.
But during the first hour of the debate, candidates' voices communicated anger less often than mere frustration. The decibel level was sometimes whispery and the gestures usually muted. There were no exaggerated huffs, no big laughs, no long sighs.
And many of the attacks, counterattacks and lightning rods of recent days never made it onto the red-carpeted stage.
Palin? Absent. So was any mention of Bill Ayers, the former radical Weathermen group leader whom the McCain campaign has tried to link closely to Obama.
And the "Keating 5" scandal, the subject of a recent Obama campaign Internet video, took the night off as well.
It was as if the candidates had decided that the nation's anxiety was too profound for Americans to be subjected to anything too ugly, anything that might make them even more uneasy.
Or, rather, that such a spectacle would not serve the candidate deemed to be the principal agent of it. They were not striving for passionate. Somber and steady seemed to be the goals.
That is not to say they did not play on voters' fears, each candidate casting the other as someone too risky for a juncture with issues so urgent and stakes so high.
McCain again suggested that Obama simply would not be able to find his way through this dangerous world.
Obama countered: "Now, Senator McCain suggests that somehow, you know, I'm green behind the ears and, you know, I've — just spoutin' off and he's somber and responsible."
"Thank you very much," interjected McCain, the one who worked harder Tuesday night at such folksy notes — such as calling questioners and even Tom Brokaw by their first names; roaming so far and wide across the stage it seemed he would end up in the Nashville suburbs; and saying "my friends" so often it sounded less cordial than compulsive.
Obama then continued: "Senator McCain, this is the guy who sang, 'Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran,' who called for the annihilation of North Korea."
Despite some odd syntax and stutters during that exchange, Obama spoke more fluidly than McCain, and so calmly that the town-hall format was a largely wasted opportunity. Obama didn't use it to communicate any of the spontaneity he has been accused of lacking.
McCain, for his part, used the paper in front of him to write so many notes to himself, in such a focused fashion, that he could have passed for a student in a penmanship class.
But his message was that he was the teacher, the veteran, the one who knew the score and could show the way. He insisted as well that he alone had a record of bipartisanship — that Obama was too liberal to reach across party lines.
Although McCain never mentioned Palin, he mentioned Sen. Joe Lieberman at least four times. It was a way of summoning an independent — formerly a Democrat — to his side and saying "maverick" without actually saying it.
But for almost every Lieberman allusion, Obama made two to Bush. And he was not allying himself with the president. He was hanging him around McCain's neck.

Refer to your Navigation Quick Guide for the exact steps above. Also, remember to close the windows, sunroof (if you have one), stop any conservations inside, dont have any air conditioning vents pointed upwards, and wait for the beep to give your commands.
Also, if you use it enough you can disable the voice prompts to move through the menus a lot faster. To disable the voice instructions for address input only do the follwoing steps:
1. Press the MENU panel button.
2. Touch 'Setup'.
3. Scroll down to page 2/3
4. Touch 'OFF' for 'Voice Recognition Guidance'.
5. Touch 'OK' at the bottom of the screen to confirm your selection.
Good luck and use the Navigation Quick Guide for guidance. -
navguy1 Posts: 181How to disable the Screen Transition feature:
1. Press the INFO panel button
2. Touch 'Screen Setting.'
3. Touch 'OFF' for the 'Automatic transition from Audo to Navigation....'
4. Touch 'OK' to confirm your selection.
The navigation system will now stay on the audio/CD screen if that was the last feature you used. -
captnemo1 Posts: 4No you can not have XM Radio info and map information on split screen at the same time which is available on our Infiniti screen. You can have XM information stay on the screen full time by going to SCREEN SETTINGS - SET AUTOMATIC TRANSITION FROM AUDIO TO NAVIGATION/ETC to OFF. To return to map screen you will need to push MAP button or Audio Button.
I find Toyota Navigation system compared to Infiniti system in my case leaves a lot to be desired. It is badly in need of a make over. Also buying a map update which comes out each year in Oct - Nov at $300 is little steep.
I do love my Camry Hybrid -
nkaizer Posts: 25I bought a version 8.0 off eBay from some guy. He apparently made the DVD himself by combining an old Navi (w the diagnostic override) with a new one (w/o the override). Th einstrucitons that came with the disc are excellent. To disable the Navi speed lockout, after installing the new v.8.0 disc., you hit menu, volume, upper left, bottom left, upper left, bottom left and then press and hold override. This enables you to make calls while driving and operate the Navi while in motion. I paid $69.00 for the DVD and directions for my 09 TCH. Five minutes first time installation. Let me know if you can't find it on the internet and I'll have somebody make a copy of it and send it out to you. I think this is much more practical that cutting wires and removing pins from the speed lockout, but hey, whatever the public wants, right?

cdn_tch Posts: 194Can't say I'm surprised that eBay kicked him off. He is selling a product he has no right to sell (Toyota Nav disk). He made changes and duplicated their disk and then resold those copies.
You may still have the right to modify your own copy for personal use, but broadcasting that you want to buy/sell/give away a pirated DVDs is not something you should do (in a public forum.) -

guruuno Posts: 232007 TCH, all options, worst NAv/Bluetooth system EVER designed!
Are we saying that even the owners of a Lexus have the very same low quality crap?
My Garmin Nuvi works better.
For $1000 option, I'd think it would be much better than it is.
Are we saying that most all other manufacturers (autos) have similar low level junk, or is it only Toyota?
I'd like to sue them, and do a Class Action Lawsuit.
I'm here in NJ.....anyone feel the need? -
vernlew Posts: 87I have an 08 TCH w/NAV...that was the only way I could get factory heated leather seats from my Va Bch dealer...and your right, my Garmin Nuvi 350 works much better and easier than the Toy Factory NAV and was much cheaper. My brother was fortunately able to get factory heated leather seats w/o NAV in his TCH from a TX dealer i.e. I guess the Gulf States Toy Distributor doesn't mandate this combo. If anyone else is thinking about getting Toy Factory NAV with their TCH...try out a Garmin Nuvi, and think again!
plknj Posts: 121I have been saying this since I got mt car... the system rots. One person actually got offended reading my posting and said I should add... 'in my opinion'. What, it works for you???? And whose opinion would it be... I wrote it... of course it's my opinion!
Running it against my Nuvi, the TCH told me to go right when the Nuvi said left... and left was the correct way and this was only one of the times I tried it. As a techno-nut... I did give the system a lot of my time before I gave up. What a waste of my time... how can Iever get that time back?
Toyota obviously has no one looking at these forums as they have not addressed an easy issue to correct. How about sending out free updates... or $100 towards the purchase of a Garmin (haven't tried other brands - had 3 Garmins, pass them on to my fanily). Love my TCH... hate my NAV!!! Shame on you Toyota. -
okhk Posts: 1I use my camry hybrid out of the States and this is a problem with the radio-station selection as in some countrys the frequencys are not on 90,1 resp. 90,3 but on 90,2 MHz. My radio selects only the 90.1, 90.3 etc.
Any idea on how to change the radio to select also the 90.2, 90.4 ........ MHz Frequency's???
Also, the CD-Player does not accept anymore a CD after i tuke out all 4 CD's.
Somebody with the same trouble?? -

sozobon Posts: 1Want to install a NAV system in my 2007 hybrid - got a NAV system on Ebay (out of a 2007 hybrid) but no installation instructions. Was talking with someone who said that in some instances, in order to make everything work (bluetooth, mic, steering wheel commands, etc) pins may have to be removed from the wiring harness connectors, etc. Some sellers on Ebay advertise "complete" installation instructions - just wondering if anyone out there may have some. Thanks much.
dahknee Posts: 1Check for posts by Dang. http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/f49/navigation-adding-afterwards-9715/index10- .html. He provided me with a lot of good info.
I also purchased a nav system (E7011) on Ebay (haven't received it yet) and I plan on doing the install myself but I will check with the dealer to see how much they'll charge.
Did you get the E7011? Also did it come with a wire harness & GPS antenna?

I have two very large hibscus plants I would like to move to an area where they will get more sun, question is when is the best time to cut them back and move them? Should I cut them back and wait a week or so before moving them? Should I not cut them back before moving them? Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance. Kimi |

Kimi, the best time to move Hibs indoors is when the temps dip in the low 50's. There's no reason to prune unless you have it's required for space, or stems are far and between leaves. If either reason is the case, I'd cut back now..Since Hibs bloom throughout the yr, pruning can interfer w/flowering, but since Hibs bloom more in summer, now would be an ideal time..Toni |
hello all, hoping someone can give me advice about digging up a hibiscus plant so i can move it. she started off as a small hibby in a little plastic pot and i planted her and now she is a lovely 3 foot tall by 2 foot wide blooming plant. her flowers are the colour of tangerine. i am moving now and hate to leave her behind. any advice? thanks |

The American Civil War shaped the world we live in today in profound ways. Its outcome resolved festering issues of secession and slavery, and laid the groundwork for the United States to become the world's foremost democratic nation. Nearly 150 years after Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox, the war's causes and legacies have not lost their meaning.

For former jockey "Foxy" Foxton, it was just another day at the races until his friend and coworker Herb Novak was slain execution-style in front of him and 60,000 other Grand National spectators. Novak's demise makes Foxton ponder some bigger questions, not least of which is whether his pal's murder had something to do with their company's risky investment practices. His search for answers propels him on a very risky venture of his own. Felix Francis' down-to-the-wire mystery shows that he is the rightful successor to his father Dick Francis' horse racing franchise.

Sunday, July 31
Overstock.com Coliseum
Attendance: 22,452
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Ryan Sweeney hit a two-run double as part of a six-run third inning, and the Oakland Athletic beat the Minnesota Twins 7-3 on Sunday to take the last two games of a three-game series.
Coco Crisp, Josh Willingham, Conor Jackson and Cliff Pennington added RBI singles during the third-inning rally, which included seven straight hits and pulled Oakland out of a 3-0 deficit.
The A's collected 11 hits -- the 16th game in a row they had at least eight to set a new franchise record. All 16 games have come after the All-Star break.
Brandon McCarthy (4-5) benefited from the outburst and earned the win despite giving up three runs in the first three innings, including two in the first. He threw six innings, giving up eight hits while striking out nine and walking zero.
"They hit some good pitches early on. I thought his stuff was pretty good the whole game," said A's manager Bob Melvin.
Twins starter Carl Pavano (6-8) took the loss after giving up seven runs on nine hits in just four innings. Jim Thome hit the 597th home run of his career in the setback, which dropped the Twins to 3-4 on a 10-game road trip.
The A's finished 5-2 on a seven-game homestand.
McCarthy scuffled in the first inning, giving up a leadoff triple to Ben Revere and four more hits after that, including three straight singles at one point. The first run scored on a groundout by No. 2 hitter Joe Mauer. Later, Danny Valencia delivered an RBI single.
Thome belted his eighth homer of the season with two outs in the third to give Minnesota a 3-0 lead.
But Jemile Weeks hit a one-out double to open the floodgates for Oakland in the third, stealing third base and scoring on Crisp's hit for the first run. That was the first of four straight singles -- and, overall, seven hits in a row that culminated in Sweeney's double and Pennington's single to make it 6-3.
Hideki Matsui added a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning for the final run.
"I don't even know where to start to tell you the truth," said Pavano. "I did a terrible job of getting the first guy out and making quality pitches. I definitely took the air out of the team. They gave me a three-run lead, but you could see the air was kind of deflated after I gave up those six runs."

Curious about Jamaican Jerk?!
The island of Jamaica is famous for its beautiful beaches, reggae music, Blue Mountain coffee, exotic fruits, and its cheerful people with their beautiful patois language. But, you haven't tasted Jamaica until you've tried Jamaican Jerk, ya mon! Jamaican Jerk History The term jerk is said to come from the word charqui, a Spanish term for jerked or dried meat, which eventually became jerky in English. Another origin is linked to the jerking or poking of the meat with a sharp object, producing holes which were

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Pretty, a San Jose Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in San Jose, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in San Jose.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Jose already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Jose breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Jose paves the way for another one to be saved.

conic section
conic section
Any two-dimensional curve traced by the intersection of a right circular cone with a plane. If the plane is perpendicular to the cone's axis, the resulting curve is a circle. Intersections at other angles result in ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. The conic sections are studied in Euclidean geometry to analyze their physical properties and in analytic geometry to derive their equations. In either context, they have useful applications to optics, antenna design, structural engineering, and architecture.

As addictively acid-tongued Amanda Woodward returns to ''Melrose Place'' tonight, we count down the ladies -- and gents -- who've stirred up the most delectable kind of TV trouble
Melrose Place
Locklear's miniskirt-clad hellion was a dominating force in the bedroom and the boardroom, using threats, schemes, and an arsenal of cruel barbs to rule D&D Advertising and pump ratings life into Fox's struggling soap opera. While half the fun of Melrose 1.0 was watching Amanda outwit, outlast, and outplay her rivals, there was always a special joy in watching her defeat and demoralize Courtney Thorne-Smith's good girl Allison Parker, dismissing her rehab stint as a trip to ''pity-me pond'' and often choosing to spare her hapless underling's job for the sole purpose of tormenting her. One prime Amanda-on-Allison zinger: ''Don't bother quitting. With the report I can put in your personnel file, you wouldn't get a job bagging groceries.'' Michael Slezak

Ok west coasters and baseball travelers in general; the wife and I are taking vacation in California in about a week and a half. We'll be landing Saturday morning around 11:00 AM and staying in Anaheim [going to Disneyland]. That first night though it just so happens we have nothing to do and decided to go down to Dodger Stadium for our beloved Redlegs. [Don't tell her I planned the vacation like that.]
What I come to you for is information. Tips on getting to the stadium, parking, things/places to avoid etc. I've never been there before and know nothing about it other than it's supposed to be a great place to watch a game.
We're testing the new 'all you can eat' pavilion in right field, we'll let you know how that goes as well. Look for us on FSN that night.
Anyway, any tips or suggestions anyone can give/make would be very very appreciated.

If your temps rarely get below 12F for long periods of time, then Bambusa multiplex 'Golden Goddess' might do well. Kt |
And, it's a clumping bamboo, so you won't have to worry about it running and sending out growth where you don't want it. |
A Fargesia would work too. |
O. acuminata ssp. aztecorum MEXICAN WEEPING This can grow to 20 feet but that wold be under ideal conditions so it will probably not get that tall and temp is good to 22F. Next to a house or in protected area maybe less. It is a beautiful bamboo that would nice to look at as a view. You can find more info by googling mexican weeping bamboo or going to http://www.americanbamboo.org/SpeciesSourceListPages/SpeciesTableO.html |
I have some Drepanostachyum sengteeanum which is really beautiful and seems to grow to about 10 feet high in my climate. |

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The National Weather Service says patchy black ice is still possible in some parts of rural South Carolina.
The road conditions have prompted some school districts to delay the start of classes Friday.
The weather service said warmer temperatures Thursday allowed much of the snow to melt. But that is leaving some roads wet and temperatures dropping below freezing created patchy sheets of ice on secondary roads.
Forecasters say the same conditions are possible in the inland areas along the coast.
Low temperatures Friday ranged from 14 degrees in Cheraw to 37 on Hilton Head Island and Moncks Corner.
Major utilities reported no problems with service interruptions Friday morning.

that I got from a place in ocala, called Eldon's tropicals. The owner is super nice and seems very knowledgable about unusual plants. I'm most excited about some cold-hardy pineapple (down to 25deg!), decorative as well with red foliage. Some other very tough ornamentals: something called the banana plant with yellowish flowers, something called broken necklace which is apparently a native, a non-invasive wysteria, and some unusually-colored elephant ears, and Abyssinian banana. All supposed to be care-free and drought-proof once established. We'll see! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your banana sounds like Chinese yellow banana, botanically named Musella lasiocarpa. The globe-like flowers resemble large golden lotus. The overall height of this hardy plant is 5' - 6'. It produces an abundance of typical banana leaves which evolve from a short stalk. It presents a very tropical appearance and may also be grown indoors if you provide sufficient light and warmth. Its outdoor cultivation is the same as the Musa Basjoo banana. If you would like to post pictures of your plants, we can most likely identify them for you - caring for a plant in the correct way is of utmost importance to being grown successfully! |

Sound like a place I need to visit. I would guess your yellow flowering plant is a Michelia figo or Banana Shrub. It has a very nice fragrance but is not terribly strong. Darren |

I have ordered from them online, will have to check them out soon. I also just came across an interesting plant, ordered some plants and a bonus Hebe speciousa tricolor was included. Had never heard of it, but it originated in New Zealand, has beautiful foliage and gets magenta racememe like flowers. I have the Lotus Banana, but mine seems stuck in a perpetual state of stagnation. I hope yours behaves better. |
I got them all in today. I'll take some photos to post tomorrow. The so-called banana of abyssinia thing has got sort of reddish-green leaves. I read the botanical name this morning and can't remember it now. She said don't let it get afternoon sun so I have it on an east wall. Supposedly it forms a large trunk that stores water. If the pineapples make fruit ya'll will hear me whooping next year. |

Richard Engle, deputy national intelligence officer for science and technology in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, spoke of the classified report in a recent speech. " We wanted to get down to something that might be actionable for the policy community. So we had to be very specific," he said. The assessment was originally supposed to be public, but has been classified as confidential out of fears that it could evoke hostility from red-flagged governments, according to sources close to the process.
Thomas Fingar, chairman of the NIC, will publicly address some portions of the 58-page report, "National Security Implications of Global Climate Change Through 2030," at Wednesday's hearing. The key findings represent the consensus view of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies.
Along with CIESIN, other sources whose data contributed to the assessment include the U.S. Climate Change Program; Center for Naval Analysis; the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; the Rand Corp.; and Arizona State University.
"There is clearly great interest among policy makers in knowing whether climate change will make crises such as the conflict in Darfur more prevalent, and whether other violent scenarios might be likely to unfold," said Levy. "The science of climate impacts does not yet give us a definitive answer to this question, but at least now we're looking at it seriously."

I thought I had all the blocks done for my quilt top and decided to finish putting it together last night because I knew I wouldn't get to it over the next few days. I had 8 rows sewn together and planned to make 12 rows but then I realized that I had only enough blocks for 11 rows. I miscounted .....thought I had 60 blocks but only had 50.....actually I had 51 as I had an extra that I could use if I fudged it a bit. Normally, I take this stuff in stride but this time I felt frustrated. I had just enough focus fabric left to cut the 9 (4-1/2") units I would need to add to my other units. So off I go to cut the extra fabric. The blade nicked the edge of the table so I had to change it. Cut my alternate fabrics and then cut my focus fabric strip. Started to cut it into 4-1/2" squares. Guess what! I had cut the fabric strip 4-1/4"! Gave up, stuffed it all in a box and pushed it behind the cabinet and went to bed. I don't want to see that top again for a long, long time.
To top it all off, before I went to sleep, I lay in bed and ate 7 of those little Kit-Kat bar treats that were for Halloween! ~Geraldine |

Boy, I've been there. I'm so sorry for the frustration but really understand. Just put it away. Maybe leave it and make a bigger border. You reminded me to buy my KitKat bars for the kids. I plan very carefully what I want have for LEFTOVERS. |
- Posted by carol_from_ny (My Page) on Sat, Oct 29, 11 at 10:35
There's some quilts that just are harder to put together than others, not cause of the design or pattern. Just something in their doing that doesn't work well for us. I've got a couple myself that I've put away for one reason or another. It's odd but eventually when you take them back out of the box and look at them, after not seeing them for awhile the fix becomes obvious. |
- Posted by cannahavana (My Page) on Sat, Oct 29, 11 at 10:39
I have so been there! |
Yeah, I have two of those in the closet. One of them is $10 a yd fabric. Had it out twice and there's just no way to save it. It wouldn't even make nice pot holders! Can't throw it away tho!!! Bon :) |
Oh, that is a sad story and I can relate. I guess that's why I count blocks and units over and over again until I'm sure I have them right. And cutting things the wrong size. I've been there and done that too. |

Glad you shared with us...who understand and have been there! yes, Kit Kat bars can cure a lot of ills! At least it was the mini bar size! Gwen |
- Posted by teresa_nc7 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 29, 11 at 11:23
Yep, been there...done that! I have learned to lay out the blocks on a design wall or bed surface or floor if necessary then re-arrange them to satisfy my idea of "scrappiness" for the quilt. Then I gather the top row, pin them in first to last order (left to right), and label the row "row 1." I also always put a safety pin in the first left block of the top row to identify the position of the layout. The other rows are also labelled. When you lay out the entire quilt top before sewing, any miss counting of the number of blocks needed is immediately evident. And you can properly measure the top in case you need to make larger or more borders. Teresa |
Oh that sounds vaguely familiar. I find that I cope much better when I find the second error and put it away. Coping with the first mistake and fixing it has a way of setting the 'mood' for the rest of the session. Our up-and-down days are definitely there and it's a wise women who notices the rythms involved and doesn't push the envelope. Some days are not meant for detail work. I also am the queen of fudge, and my designs are never cut in stone. If I cut out an whole series of strips too small.......you bet there'd be an extra border to compensate for it. LOL. |
Been there too lol!!!!! I made quilt as a gift and was so close to running out of the main fabric that I had only a small strip left over. I get so annoyed with myself when I try so very hard to be accurate and STILL manage to screw things up. |
Sympathy and empathy!! I guess if you do enough you make every error there is to make but that hardly eases the pain..What is even more painful is making the same mistake the seconded time--that is my curse.. Sometimes what is believed to be a mistake is just the beginning of a great new idea. May this be one of those times. I hope you have more KitKat bars, they sound like a good solution. Jayne |

Geraldine, If this is the first time you've done this, consider yourself fortunate! You'll recognize it next time for what it is and quit after the first drastic mistake......maybe. lol SharonG/FL |
Geraldine - I just had that happen w/ the canoe quilt I just finished. I only had enough of the darker fabric to make 30 blocks (there was more of the lighter background) so as I was cutting my last strip of the darker fabric, I cut it 1/4" too short!!!!! I had to set it aside too. But I'm either determined or bull-headed - I decided I could make up the difference in my seaming so I went ahead and used the fabric pieces that were 1/4" too short. It helped that the pieces cut from the strip were triangles so I had the bias to help in the 'stretching' and I was careful to have some of the 'shortness' at the top and the bottom of each block as I pieced them together. It did make the construction harder than it had to be, but once everything was put together, no one else would probably know. It did mess up some of my points, but not in a glaring way. I hope there is a way to make it work with yours also, but I completely endorse a 'cooling-off' time! Karlene |

- Posted by petalpatsy (My Page) on Sat, Oct 29, 11 at 18:20
Why, that's no problem. I do it all the time (seems like.) You can do 1/8 seams and get away with it. Quilt that sucker up and no one will ever know. |

I can feel you pain.... BTDT! I hope it looked better after you had some sleep. Robbi |
So... once you have a nap, eat some more chocolate, drag it all back out, cut and sew the extra blocks..... do you think you'll find the ones you thought you made hiding under something or down the back of the table?? Yah... been there... :) Faye |
Thank you all for your commiserations. I'll get back to it again, just not yet...maybe after Christmas. Busy days ahead. I will try to check in with you all as often as possible. ~Geraldine. |
