GM uncertain that US auto sales will hit forecast
DETROIT The top executive at General Motors Co. is having doubts about whether U.S. auto sales will recover this year as expected, even as the stock market rebounded a bit Tuesday from its huge losses.
Speaking to industry analysts about GM's long-term financial plans Tuesday, GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson said the company is sticking with its U.S. sales forecast of around 13 million cars and trucks for the year, but he's not certain sales will make it that high.
"There's a lot of turmoil in the business, and turmoil means uncertainty," Akerson said. GM's finances, he said, are strong enough to "power through these dips" in sales.
The statements came amid optimistic predictions for the future of the company, which has made billions just two years out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Analysts were told that GM is looking to become more efficient in the future so it can make even stronger profits, and that it plans to raise factory capacity by 45 percent in Brazil, Russia, India and China by 2014 to take advantage of expected sales growth.
Company executives made the statements at GM's second-annual global business conference. The U.S. stock market slide and international government debt problems barely were mentioned during the presentation, which lasted more than four hours.
GM's shares have lost more than 20 percent of their value since its November initial public stock offering, although they recovered a bit with the rest of the market on Tuesday. GM closed up 97 cents or nearly 4 percent, at $25.54.
During the presentation, GM executives outlined cost-saving measures that included halving the number of frames it bases its vehicles on across the globe. In 2010, GM had 30 frames, known in the industry as platforms. By 2018 it plans to cut that number to 14. It also will sell more of the cars and trucks built on those platforms across the globe, saving on manufacturing, engineering and design costs. The company also plans to cut the number of engines it develops, as well as reducing the number of parts it uses across the globe.
"There's a lot of complexity. We need to simplify it," Akerson said. "More of our components will be common and more of our vehicles will be on global architectures."
GM said just 6 percent of its cars and trucks are built off of global platforms now. That will rise to 90 percent by 2018 as the company tries to catch up with industry leaders.
Ford Motor Co., for example, began a similar effort four years ago and it is on track to cut its global platforms to 12 by 2013, according to a research note from Bank of America released Tuesday. Ford had 27 platforms in 2007. Ford aims to build 83 percent of its cars and trucks off global platforms in 2013.
GM executives also said the company plans to keep its annual capital investment consistent, even when car sales are down. That will save money by ending the practice of stopping and starting projects. GM product development chief Mary Barra estimated that slowdowns, cancellations and other turmoil have been costing the company $1 billion per year.

Oklahoma City, OK –
3 who fled Okla. prison caught in Los Angeles
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) A state prison official says three inmates who escaped a prison at Fort Supply in northwest Oklahoma have been captured in California.
A Department of Corrections official said 20-year-old Dennis W. Finch, 20-year-old Christopher D. Hibl and 22-year-old Jake D. Trout were arrested Friday by Los Angeles police without incident.
The three walked away from the William S. Key Correctional Center at Fort Supply on Feb. 5.

Claymation Videos using Windows Movie Maker 2.0 This tutorial assumes that you are using a Logitech Web Cam to take your still images for your claymation video. Of course, you can use any digital camera to do this. Just be sure to place all of your photos (and only those photos) into one folder, and name your photos with sequential numbers, so that you do not have to spend as much time sorting them after you put them into iMovie. This tutorial assumes that you have already taken all your still pictures that you will use for your claymation video. Your photos should be assembled into one folder on your desktop. It is best if the photos are numbered sequentially, so that you do not have to spend as much time sorting them after you put them into Movie Maker. After you have opened the Windows Movie Maker software, select Options from the Tools menu. In the Options window, click on the Advanced tab. Then change the Picture Duration to 0.375 seconds (you could make it faster, but then you would have to have more still images for every second of your claymation video. This setting is about three frames per second, which is adequate for simple claymation videos). On the left side of the Movie Maker screen, under Capture Video, click on Import Pictures. In the Import Files window that opens, navigate to the folder that contains your collection of still images and open the folder (if you used a Logitech Web Cam to take the photos, the images will be in My ComputerMy PicturesMy Logitech PicturesPictures and Videos). When you get to where you can see all your still images in the folder, select all the images (Control-A). NOTE: It is important that you have no other pictures in this folder – just the images you want in the claymation movie. Click Import. This will import all the selected images into Windows Movie Maker At this point, you should look through the images to make sure there are none there that you do not want to include in your claymation movie. If you see some that you do not want, Right-Click on the image and select Delete. Select all the images (Control-A) and drag them all at once down to the Video timeline. This should put all the images into the timeline, and each of them should play for 0.375 seconds. So, if you have 10 images, Your video will be 3.75 Seconds. If you have 100 Images, your video will be 37.5 seconds long. Now you can edit your video the same way you normally would in Windows Movie Maker. You can add titles and credits, voice narration, sound effects, etc.

Iodine from kelp in dietary aid compromised therapy, researchers say
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 21 (HealthDay News) -- People taking dietary supplements need to be careful that those don't interfere with any medical treatments they might be getting, a new report emphasizes.
The case in point was a 55-year-old man being treated for thyroid cancer who was supposed to be on a low-iodine diet as part of his treatment, but his levels of iodine continued to increase. The researchers found that a selenium supplement he was taking contained kelp, which is a rich source of iodine and significantly increased his iodine levels.
"This was a patient with thyroid cancer who had surgery and was treated with radioactive iodine," said lead author Dr. Lewis E. Braverman, a professor of medicine at Boston University. "It is very important that he consume a low-iodine diet, which would result in an uptake of the radioactive iodine."
The report was published in the Jan. 22 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
When doctors discovered the source of the iodine, they stopped all the 20 over-the-counter supplements the patient was taking. After eight weeks, iodine levels dropped to normal. The patient was then put on a low-iodine diet, and after four weeks, iodine levels dropped even further.
"Who would have thought that kelp would be in a selenium tablet?" Braverman said.
"If you want to treat patients with radioactive iodine -- if you want them to be on a low-iodine diet -- you must be extremely inquisitive and cautious, and find out all the over-the-counter remedies they are taking," Braverman noted.
Don't only look at the label that's on the bottle, get a complete description from the manufacturer, Braverman stressed.
There is no reason for people in the United States to be taking selenium, Braverman said, since most people get the selenium they need through diet.

text: On Thursday, when I talked to Ravens running back Ray Rice on his line up for the upcoming, "Ray Rice Day" events, Rice slightly got off topic and talked briefly about his path in the NFL.Ray Rice: "I'm excited about it.. At this point in my career, I should be living the life, like most guys would. But football isn't about living the life for me. For me, football is about providing for my family....."Coming from a 25-year-old running back at the peak of his career in the National Football League, that tells you how mature and ahead of his time Rice is. He extended that sentiment by having his 1st Ray Rice Day in Baltimore this past weekend.About 700 children attended Saturday's events at Calvert Hall that included a football clinic. A plethora of Rice's teammates came to support the cause, including FB Vonta Leach, WR Torrey Smith, CB LarDarius Webb and OT Michael Oher, to name a few. On such a beautiful day, The event was a success. Rice didn't disappoint in getting involved with the kids.Perhaps Rice is taking over the helms of "Big Ray" Lewis, who has been a stature in the Baltimore community since being drafted by the Ravens in 1996. But Lewis is in the sunset stages in his career, and it's a pretty fair assumption that Rice is now the BRIC (Big Ray In Charge) in Charm City. He's younger, personable and a rising superstar in this league. To choose to hold his event in Baltimore now is perfect timing in transition.This event isn't just a photo op for Rice. It's clear based on his interaction that he loves the kids. "Look at these kids, they're nothing but smiles," Rice said. "I love the kids, I love being active in the community. I kind of feel bad for the kids that didn't get in. To see the smiles on these kids' faces is priceless."Rice is as genuine as they come. One parent lost their child in the midst of the excitement and was frantically trying to find her daughter. Rice ended up being the one finding the little girl, and brought her back to her mother, holding the little girl's hand. The mother was so elated that she embraced Rice affectionately- and he returned the gesture. Some things you simply can't fake.For many players of Rice's age and popularity, partying and bottle popping is usually a top priority. But after our conversation it became clear to me that Rice has a bigger, better plan. It would be wise to see the Ravens re-sign Rice (the Ravens have used their franchise tag on him), not only for what he can do on the field, but for all the things that he does off as well.Note: This is the 1st year Rice has held his event in Baltimore. He has previously held his event in New York, and revealed that he will hold events in both cities.

Discussion in 'Disney Resorts' started by Miffy, Nov 9, 2012.
Aww, I want an email! We are booked in a king room with free dining at POR from 12/11-12/18.
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
We got the email and they gave us an upgrade to Saratoga Springs 1 bedroom villa. This is like a $3000 savings so I took it! We've never stayed at a DVC resort so I am excited. Our dates are December 22-27 and we were originally booked for AOA Little Mermaid room.
It looks like free dining is the "problem". Our offer was only for our first night, room only rate. Looking at other posters dates, it looks like the upgrades are not during free dining dates. Oh well - either way we will be in Disney in 30 days!
Anyone who turns down an upgrade from a value to a deluxe is bananas! You can always go and visit AoA. Even for one night, it could be fun just to see what it is like. They will move your bags for you during the day at the park, right?
We are at POR, not a value. Call us bananas, but the resort is just not that important to us. If we could get the whole week, for sure, but just not worth the hassle for one night. At some point during the day we would have to give up time at the park to "check in" at the other resort. We just don't spend enough time at the hotel to worry about it.
Congrats to everyone on their upgrades! We are staying at CSR 12/20-1/3 and would love a free upgrade to a dvc resort. Enjoy and Happy Holidays to all
Congrats on the nice upgrades everyone!
Just returned fromPOR and going again Dec 3-13. Love it there but if they offered an upgrade I would take it. Unless it was for only a night or 2. Too much trouble moving. It would have to be for at least 3-4 nights. And that is only because we are staying 10 nights. If our stay was shorter I wouldn't want to move!!
Having stayed at both and as an owner at SSR, you scored! And over Christmas, how magical. Go to the DVC section and do some research. I'd request the Springs or Paddock section. It's such a great resort.
Thank you!
Can I ask, when are your dates?
Unless they are upgrading me to CR, BC or Poly I won't move from POFQ. Going from POFQ to Saratoga Springs to ME it's not an upgrade. I stay at POFQ because it's a small resort which SS definitely is not.
So yeah, you can call me bananas all you want but I'd stay put.
Having stayed in a LM room for 2 nights last October, I would switch in a heartbeat. You're talking value vs deluxe or even a suite. It would be a no brainer for me.
Having stayed at all levels... I would take the upgrade in a heartbeat!!
Of course I would never get one... Lol...
No pixie dust for me..
There is risk of being 'upgraded against your will'. That sort of offer reads as they are overbooked for some reason, and are trying to move people. That said, it all depends on if they get enough other people to relocate to cover the overbooked category.
So I had to go and check my email... This whole thread made me think it might have been possible to get out of Pop Century and into Poly.
No such luck...
We are going for a short anniversary trip from 11/25-28 and although I'm thrilled to be going at all, I really wish we could have splurged on a more romantic resort!
I'm going to pray to the Pixie Dust Gods and hope I get one of the emails... Congratulations to all who got the email!
Just so you know, even if you turn down the upgrade offer you may be "walked" when you get there. That happened to us one year at the start of free dining at POR. We didn't get a letter, but we were asked to upgrade to a studio at SSR when we arrived. We had just stayed at SSR the week before (we visited my in-laws in Tampa between 2 WDW stays) and POR was the last moderate to check off my list. I told the CM that and that I also had GF and YC on my list, so those would be OK . He came back with an offer of a 1 bedroom at SSR and I knew there was really no fighting it. We enjoyed the extra room .
For the people who are being asked to upgrade for one day. I would consider it if it was a resort that I still needed to "check off" but otherwise the inconvenience wouldn't be worth it unless they sweetened the deal a bit more.
Good luck and may the upgrade fairy visit those who are hoping for one!
Upgrading for 1 NIGHT? Crazy, I can't believe they would ask this of anyone. If the rooms are overbooked WDW has to eat it and upgrade for the length of stay. Who would want to move for 1 night- not me, what an inconvenience.
Upgrading from a LM room to an AOA site for the length of stay- yes! I don't know why anyone would say no- that's a huge discount on more room. I understand her DD loves LM, go walk the grounds, take pics, and then enjoy a huge savings on a nicer room!
Looks like we may have a future Dvc member. Lol. Dvc villas are awesome.
OP here. A couple of things.
1) My sister doesn't have free dining--it wasn't available for most of her stay--and she's paying rack rate for her room.
2) This is a solo trip, so she hardly needs the extra room or bathroom in the suite, and she loved the decor of the LM rooms. She has no interest in staying at SSR, OKW, CBR, or CSR. She hasn't been to WDW in 25 years and she doesn't travel frequently, so it's not like she'll settle for something she didn't book and doesn't want because she'll be back in a few months.
3) She's calling this morning, so I'll post with an update when I know what happened.
And many thanks for all the replies! Very helpful and informative.

Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) are characterized by abnormal motions of and sometimes sensations in the lower or upper extremities, which may interfere with sleep.
PLMD and RLS are more common during middle and older age; > 80% of patients with RLS also have PLMD.
The mechanism is unclear but may involve abnormalities in dopamine Some Brand Names

neurotransmission in the CNS. The disorders can occur
In primary RLS, heredity may be involved; more than one third of patients with primary RLS have a family history of it. Risk factors may include a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and obesity.
Periodic leg movement disorder is common among people with narcolepsy and REM behavior disorder.
PLMD is characterized by repetitive (usually every 20 to 40 sec) twitching or kicking of the lower or upper extremities during sleep. Patients usually complain of interrupted nocturnal sleep or excessive daytime sleepiness. They are typically unaware of the movements and brief arousals that follow and have no abnormal sensations in the extremities.
RLS is a sensorimotor disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, arms, or, less commonly, other body parts, usually accompanied by paresthesias (eg, creeping or crawling sensations) and sometimes pain in the upper or lower extremities; symptoms are more prominent when patients are inactive or recline and peak in severity around bedtime. To relieve symptoms, patients move the affected extremity by stretching, kicking, or walking. As a result, they have difficulty falling asleep, repeated nocturnal awakenings, or both.
Diagnosis may be suggested by the patient's or bed partner's history. For example, patients with PLMD typically have insomnia, EDS, and/or excessive twitching just before sleep onset or during sleep.
Polysomnography is necessary to confirm the diagnosis of PLMD, which is usually apparent as repetitive bursts of electromyographic activity. Polysomnography may be also done after RLS is diagnosed to determine whether patients also have PLMD, but polysomnography is not necessary for diagnosis of RLS itself.
Patients with either disorder should be evaluated medically for disorders that can contribute (eg, with blood tests for anemia and iron deficiency and with hepatic and renal function tests).
For RLS, numerous drugs (eg, dopaminergic drugs, benzodiazepines, anticonvulsants, vitamins and minerals) are used.
Dopaminergic drugs, although often effective, may have adverse effects such as augmentation (RLS symptoms that worsen before the next drug dose is given and that affect other body parts such as the arms), rebound (symptoms that worsen after the drug is stopped or after the effects of the drug dissipate), nausea, orthostatic hypotension, and insomnia.

Benzodiazepines may improve sleep continuity but do not reduce limb movements; they should be used cautiously to avoid tolerance and daytime sleepiness.
Opioids may also work for patients with RLS and pain but are used as a last resort because of tolerance, adverse effects, and abuse potential.

325 mg plus 100 to 200 mg of vitamin C at bedtime is warranted. Patients should exercise good sleep hygiene.
For PLMD, there are no specific treatments, but the treatments for RLS are usually used and often help. However, treatments require further study.

Bush continues slide; Grassley still popular
Approval of President Bush among Iowans continued its descent, reaching another all-time low in the Des Moines Register's most recent Iowa Poll.
Twenty-five percent of Iowans said they approved of the two-term Republican's job performance, with 71 percent saying they disapproved.
Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, a five-term Republican, remains popular, winning approval from 69 percent of Iowans, according to the poll.
Bush's approval has steadily gradually declined since his reelection in 2004, when he narrowly carried Iowa despite the approval of less than half of Iowans.
Bush's approval has not risen in the Register's poll since 2001, when he posted an 84 percent approval level in September and again in December.
Harkin leads Reed Democrat Tom Harkin leads Republican Christopher Reed in the race for Iowa's U.S. Senate seat on the November ballot, according to the new Iowa Poll.
Harkin, a four-term incumbent, had the support of 53 percent of likely Iowa voters, while Reed, a Marion businessman, had the support of 34 percent. Thirteen percent were not sure.
The margin of sampling error was plus or minus 4 percentage points. Reed, who narrowly won the three-way June primary, had very little money on hand, according to the most recent campaign finance reports filed in July.
Harkin had raised more than $8 million toward his campaign and had $4 million on hand, according to the latest report.
Big majority say U.S. off-course
Nearly three-quarters of Iowans said the United States had gotten off on the wrong track, while fewer than one in five said the country was headed in the right direction, according to the Iowa Poll.
Opinions have worsened since the last Iowa Poll in February, when 72 percent said the nation was on the wrong path and 20 percent said it was on the right path. In the survey taken last week, the numbers were 74 percent and 18 percent.
In the seven months since the last poll, the economy has soured as the stock market having declined and gas prices having brushed $4 per gallon early in the summer.
About the poll
The Iowa Poll, conducted for The Des Moines Register by Selzer & Co. Inc. of Des Moines, is based on interviews with 801 Iowans ages 18 or older.
Interviewers contacted households with randomly selected telephone numbers.
Percentages based on the full sample may have a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Responses were weighted by age to reflect the general population based on recent census data. The sample includes 616 Iowans who say they will definitely vote in the November election. Percentages based on likely voters may have a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. Republishing the copyright Iowa Poll without credit to The Des Moines Register is prohibited.
The poll, conducted Sept. 8-10, asked the following: How likely is it you will vote in the general election for president in November -- will you definitely vote, probably vote, might or might not vote, or probably not vote? If the election for U.S. Senate were held today and the candidates were Christopher Reed for the Republicans and Tom Harkin for the Democrats, for whom would you vote? If the election for president were held today, and the candidates were John McCain for the Republicans, Barack Obama for the Democrats, Bob Barr for the Libertarians and Ralph Nader for the Green Party, for whom would you vote? Toward which candidate are you leaning (if not sure)? Would you say your mind is made up or could you still be persuaded to vote for another candidate? Regardless of whether you support John McCain or Barack Obama, which one would you say: Is the best able to fix problems with the U.S. economy? Has the needed experience to lead? Is best able to bring down gas prices? Can best keep America secure? Will be the most successful in unifying the country? Will be the best at winning the respect of world leaders? Has the most inspiring leadership style? Best understands people like you? None of these/not sure? Which one or two of these is most important? Are you satisfied with John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate for vice president, or do you wish he had chosen someone else? Are you very satisfied, or just satisfied? Are you satisfied with Barack Obama's choice of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate for vice president, or do you wish he had chosen someone else? Are you very satisfied, or just satisfied? In general, do you think things in the nation are headed in the right direction, or have they gotten off on the wrong track? I'm going to mention some elected officials. For each please tell me if you approve or disapprove of the job they are doing. George W. Bush, as president. Charles Grassley as U.S. senator.
Clarification: Ralph Nader has been the Green Partys presidential nominee in the past. Cynthia McKinney is the partys nominee for the 2008 election.
On the Iowa ballot, Nader is running as a candidate of the Peace and Freedom Party.
Democrat Barack Obama has established a double-digit lead over Republican John McCain in Iowa as the presidential race in this Midwestern battleground enters its critical fall stretch, according to The Des Moines Register's latest Iowa Poll.
The poll, taken in the wake of the parties' national conventions, shows Obama favored by 52 percent of Iowa likely voters, compared to 40 percent for McCain.
Although only 5 percent were undecided, the race remains fluid, with one in four voters saying they could still be persuaded to vote for another candidate in the seven weeks left until Election Day. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Top campaign advisers to Obama and McCain have said Iowa, where the past two presidential elections have been decided by 10,000 votes and fewer, is in the top tier of swing states. However, there are signs in the poll that Obama has a healthy advantage among key voter groups here.
Chief among them are independents, 49 percent of whom say they prefer Obama, compared to 36 percent who say they support McCain.
McCain's advisers have said they believe he can win Iowa by turning out the Republican base and by appealing to independents drawn to his maverick streak on issues such as immigration.
Mark Benson, an independent voter from LeClaire, said he might have considered voting for McCain, but feels the Arizona senator has catered during his campaign to the Republican base.
"He's not going to change anything. He's just going to push for four more years of Bush," said Benson, a 51-year-old retired police officer. "And if he does get in there and becomes a maverick, he'll have so much trouble in his own party, he won't get anything done."
Libertarian candidate Bob Barr and independent candidate Ralph Nader did not factor significantly in the poll, with neither candidate receiving more than 2 percent of likely voters.
The poll, taken Monday through Wednesday by Selzer & Co., came on the heels of the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., where delegates enthusiastically received McCain's running mate Sarah Palin.
The Alaska governor, who has five children, is seen by the McCain campaign as having special appeal among women. But Obama led by a healthy margin among Iowa women voters, 53 percent of whom preferred the Illinois senator, compared to 39 percent for McCain.
Ames Democrat Virginia Dowling said she supports Obama in part because of his call for greater emphasis on the war in Afghanistan as an approach to fighting terrorism. She also likes his proposal for middle-class tax cuts as a remedy for the ailing economy.
"More than anything, I think he's a fresh face and he has a longer history of working together with people to come up with change," said Dowling, 61, a retired physical therapist. "That's the approach we need for government."
McCain's choice of Palin as his running mate helped solidify the support of New Sharon Republican Becky Harkema, who had been weighing both candidates. The first-term governor's story of a small-town mayor and mother who rose to power was inspiring to Harkema, a 43-year-old nonprofit administrator.
"After McCain selected her I was more convinced I would vote for him," Harkema said. "She worked her way up and she speaks the truth."
McCain supporters were more satisfied with Palin as his running mate than Obama's supporters were with his selection of Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.
Nearly 80 percent of McCain's supporters described themselves as very satisfied with Palin's selection, while only a handful say they wish he had chosen someone else. Roughly half of Obama's supporters said they were very satisfied with Biden on the ticket, while nearly 20 percent said they wish he had chosen a different No. 2.
Des Moines Democrat Sonia Lewis was disappointed Obama had chosen Biden, but said it would not deter her support for the Democrat ticket.
"I really didn't think that was the right choice," the 48-year-old secretary said. "I would have preferred Hillary Clinton."
The poll underscores some key advantages Obama has had in Iowa.
He visited dozens of times last year and built a statewide network of volunteers on his way to a decisive victory in Iowa's leadoff nominating caucuses last January.
McCain campaigned in Iowa less often and ran a scaled-down caucus operation, finishing in a close fourth-place in the GOP caucuses before rebounding in the New Hampshire primary.
Democrats also enjoy their largest voter registration edge over Republicans in roughly 20 years -- more than 94,000 out of roughly 2 million voters, according to August statistics from the Iowa Secretary of State.
The poll's findings also underscore Obama's popularity among younger voters. Those under 35 years old preferred Obama over McCain by a 2-to-1 margin.
Still, McCain has some advantages that could be meaningful on Election Day. More than half of voters who describe themselves as evangelical Christians favor McCain, compared to less than 40 percent who back Obama.
Social conservatives, a group that was slow to endorse McCain, were seen as influential in helping Republican George W. Bush carry Iowa in his re-election campaign four years ago. Born-again Christians in Iowa preferred Bush over Democrat John Kerry by a slightly wider margin, according to the Register's October 2004 poll.
The new poll also showed that Obama's and McCain's supporters judged the Republican as best able to keep America secure, a top priority reflected in the poll. McCain also was seen by a healthy majority of this group as having the needed experience to lead, with less than a third saying Obama had the necessary experience.
But Obama was seen by the combined group of supporters as best able to fix the economy, most likely to be successful in unifying the country and best able to win the respect of world leaders. Each trait rated most important by a larger percentage than having experience.
"I think McCain has more experience to lead," said Dowling of Ames. "But there comes a point in time when experience is not the whole thing. It's about can you get things done. We just need something different."

Grass in creeping phlox---argh!!
Hi all---I've been checking other posts and it appears I'm not alone with this problem. I love my creeping phlox, really I do, but I'm ready to yank it all out. It's so pretty for about 3 minutes in early spring, then I spend the the rest of the spring, summer and fall yanking grass out of it.
Someone suggested "Grass Be Gone" and I'm very willing to give that a try but I'm concerned about whether it will kill the grass nearby as well. My phlox is right on the edge of the lawn.
Has anyone else had luck with this remedy without killing nearby grass?
Also, I have grass growing in some of my ornamental grasses. Will Grass-be-Gone kill the ornamental grass along with the "weed" grass?
I've never had a problem with weeds or grass in my phlox and it is near my lawn but I would be careful using any controls to eradicate anything because you could lose what you are trying to protect. It's hard to amend the soil with established plants like phlox but if you tried weeding would be easier.
Here is a link that might be useful: Propagating Perennials
I feel your pain. I've got endless grass in my Irish and Scotch moss that edges several of my ponds. I've been fighting it for years.
Personally, I would not use a weed/grass killer. I don't see how you can get the targeted grass without affecting the phlox, as well as perhaps the grass you want to keep.
If your phlox is right up along the lawn, then I suggest perhaps some kind of edging. Either a hard edging (that black pound-in edging, stones, etc.) or even a simple trench edge. That will help the grass from spreading. If your phlox is right along the lawn edge, sure as sugar the grass will keep spreading into the phlox, and by the same token, the phlox may spread into the lawn!
I have creeping phlox on a small slope that is about thirty feet long and about 3 feet top to bottom. About twice a year, once in spring and again in later summer, I get my little kneeling pad, plop it down, have a seat, and spend a few hours weeding. (Just did it Sunday, as a matter of fact!) It is actually fairly easy to weed phlox. You can pretty much lift the whole plant up or push it aside, and just reach in and pull the grass and weeds out. Then again, my phlox is in poor, shallow soil, so maybe that's why it's easy. Time consuming, but easy.
Good luck in whatever you decide!
jospry - it's probably too late, but just in case - I deal with it with the electric clippers - I just shear everything back, grass and all. I take a few moments with the shears every time I'm out there (or every time I think of it) and cut back and grass that pops its head up. That pretty much allows the phlox to out-compete the grass.

Enrollment advisors work mainly for educational institutions, though some other sectors, such as the military, staff these types of positions. Enrollment advisors are responsible for guiding new students or recruits through the enrollment process. Providing academic advising and information on how to enroll and finding new persons to recruit are the main responsibilities of enrollment advisors.Read More...
Enrollment advisors usually work in the admission or registrar's office of the university with a team of other enrollment advisors, and a dean or chairperson is typically their supervisor. Advisors will typically have their own office. An enrollment advisor must have superior interpersonal and communication skills, as they must meet with new students on a regular basis either in person, over the phone, or via email.
Most jobs require a bachelor's degree in education, psychology, social work, or a related field. Also, an extensive knowledge of the higher education market and industry is needed. Advisors usually work during standard daytime business hours. They commonly take and uphold appointments with students and must have excellent punctuality and organizational skills. Also, enrollment advisors are required to attend staff meetings. They rarely work overtime. Unlike teachers, they are expected to work year round, as there are candidates engaging in the enrollment process and seeking advising at all times of the year. Since some enrollment advisors need to find and recruit students, an advisor might have to travel to college recruitment events or give presentations to groups such as high school seniors.
University of Phoenix (UOP) offers the least pay with a median salary of $39K; furthermore, salaries there max out at only $52K.
Job skills reported by Enrollment Advisors are limited. Those who have experience with Sales, Customer Service, and Oral / Verbal Communication can expect to be compensated well for these skills. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Oral / Verbal Communication.

Today's Loving Each Day Quote
You cannot allow anything to stand in the way of your loving. You cannot allow yourself the luxury of a negative thought. You cannot allow that which is less than God and Spirit to be a force in your life. Do not turn and strike at someone else.
Be loving to yourself and to others, as it's all really the same thing.
- John-Roger, D.S.S.
About MSIA

Your Soul is who you truly are; it is more than your body, your thoughts, or your feelings. It is the highest aspect of yourself, where you and God are one.
Equally important, MSIA presents an approach that focuses on how to incorporate spirituality into your everyday life in a tangible, workable way. We call it "practical spirituality."

John-Roger's Challenge of the Week
The challenge for this week: don't live in other people's opinions.
If you discuss a seminar you attended with friends, five people are going to have five different opinions of what occurred. And each one is going to get uniquely, individually, that thing that they had to have. There is something for everyone in any experience.
You have to please yourself."

The Killers kick of their US tour with some new material from 'Battle Born'
The Killers launched their summer tour last night in Asheville, NC and unleashed some new material off of their forthcoming album 'Battle Born'. Hopefully they do the same at their performance tomorrow during the Firefly Music Festival.
The Killers kick of their US tour with some new material from 'Battle Born'
The Killers haven't released an album in over 4 years, but on September 18th, that is all going to change. The new album is titled Battle Born and The Killers have been kind enough to preview a few of them through a number of different outlets. On their official website you can listen to "Runaways" in its entirety, which is extremely refreshing considering we have to wait another few months for the official album release. In the teaser for the album, The Killers included "Flesh and Bones", a track that complimented the imagery of the video quite well, which you can check out below. However, the latest previews of their new tracks from Battle Born have come from the start of their tour, which kicked off yesterday in Asheville, NC. The songs "Miss Atomic Bomb", "Flesh and Bones", and "Rising Tide" were all included in their set and even caught on video (albeit very poor quality).
The Killers bring their show to the Firefly Music Festival as part of a lineup that already includes The Black Keys, Jack White, Deathcab For Cutie, Bassnectar, Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, and many more. If you're lucky enough to be attending this weekend, we highly suggest you catch their set before the ship off to Europe for the rest of their tour.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at email@example.com.
American brewers are finally starting to realize that beer lovers want tasty options that are lower in alcohol than the heavy hitters so common in the craft world, which is why we're seeing a sudden surge in "session IPAs," hoppy, flavorful ales that have the potency of a light beer without sacrificing flavor. Over the last year, brewers like Stone, Founders and Sierra Nevada have all dipped their toes in these waters. The latest to give this category a whirl is the always impressive Firestone Walker—and it's no surprise that they absolutely nail it. Easy Jack is the smaller, more nimble sibling of Union Jack and Double Jack, their IPA and Double IPA, respectively, but being smaller is certainly no knock against it. The body is uber-light and crisp and utterly chuggable, yet you won't want to chug this brew. Not when it's bursting with huge aromas of melon and grapefruit and orange peel. The hop flavor is also huge yet lacks the blistering bitterness you'd expect, making this beer supremely flavorful without sacrificing the drinkability we want from a session beer. You'll be seeing a lot of this this summer. Watch for it on draft in the weeks ahead.

"It seems to me the book has not just aesthetic values-- the charming little clothy box of the thing, the smell of the glue, even the print, which has its own beauty. But there's something about the sensation of ink on paper that is in some sense a thing, a phenomenon rather than an epiphenomenon. I can't break the association of electric trash with the computer screen. Words on the screen give the sense of being just another passing electronic wriggle."

In my opinion 10.1 and 10.2 are less smooth.
I have read in the FAQ in the CM 10.2 topic the following;
Due to larger size required for newer versions of Android and CM improvements, space has to be taken from /data for system apps.
Do I regain this space automatically after downgrading?
(Can I downgrade from 10.2 to 10.0 just by installing this version?)

Trick 4
Not all computers/internet connections are created equal.
When your player is going to enter combat...from a zone in situation, give them a small buffer zone.
It may serve the story to have the enemy breathing down thier neck on arrival but for some players,
due to lag and what not, will just arrive...dead. That is never fun.
If in doubt...give them a little space...then they can finish zoning in and be ready to fight.

Woody Allen, whose film To Rome With Love receives its out-of-competition screening at the Cannes Film Festival today talked about why he is happy to miss the red carpet glamour, the frenzied fans and the media at France's most famous film festival.
Allen, who will not be attending the event this year, joked on screen to the Cannes viewers: "The whole thing is a psychological nightmare - but my wife and kids like Cannes. It has no reality to it. You have to learn not to take it seriously."
Of Allen's 40-plus films, 11 have been shown in Cannes and five have opened the filmfest, and the 76-year-old's prolific career is in focus in a movie by Robert Weide. The film titled Woody Allen introduces the young man, born Allan Konigsberg, growing up in 1940s Brooklyn where "school was a curse" but "kids were safe to roam all day."
"I was the world's worst student," he quips. But a teenage ticket writing newspaper jokes set him on a precocious road to success, and by the age of 17 he was earning more than his parents.
Before long he had found a pseudonym, Woody Allen, acquired the Olympia typewriter on which he still pounds out every word he writes, and settled on a pair of thick black rimmed spectacles as his fashion look for life.
His first steps on the stage were a stomach-churning ordeal for the uncharismatic Allen - but little by little he found his voice, and an audience, opening up the world of filmmaking.
From his first comedy, "What's New Pussycat" - the "mangled" script of which ensured he demanded full control over all subsequent films - the documentary spans his movie career, including "Annie Hall", "Manhattan" and the "Purple Rose of Cairo."
Diane Keaton, his first muse, is interviewed at length, and the film touches on the scandal over Allen's affair with the adoptive daughter of his second great love, Mia Farrow, putting an end to their relationship. He married Farrow's daughter, Soon-Yi Previn, in 1997.
Allen is typically candid on the subject of sex, recalling being slapped down as a schoolboy for making advances on a fellow pupil, and confessing to a healthy sexual appetite, even now in his seventies.
On death, he is deadpan, and hilarious: "My relationship with death remains the same: I am strongly against it," he tells a delighted press conference, filmed in Cannes.
Looking back at his filmography, he is characteristically self-deprecating regarding his works.
"So few of them have really been worth anything," he says. But "if I keep making films, every once in a while I'll get lucky and one will stand out."
