After 68 years, Land Rover bids farewell to the Defender
Land Rovers, old and new, on the beach at Red Wharf Bay. Photos courtesy Jaguar Land Rover.
In 1947, a legend was created on a beach at Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey, U.K., when Maurice Wilks, engineering director of Rover, drew the shape of the original Land Rover for his brother Spence, the company's managing director. Now, after 68 years, the life cycle of one of the world's most influential 4x4s comes to an end; Land Rover's Solihull plant will build its final Defender model in December.
The very first Land Rover, the Series I, was inspired by the Jeep developed for the U.S. Army during the Second World War. Maurice Wilks owned a surplus Jeep, which saw heavy use on his farm in North Wales; envisioning a four-wheel drive that could be used for agricultural purposes, Wilks designed a rugged and compact platform that included a power take off (PTO) for the purpose of running farm implements. The advantage of his Land Rover, Wilks rationalized, was that it could be used in the fields and then driven to town, unlike a pure tractor.
Wilks's 1947 drawing, recreated in grand scale at Red Wharf Bay by a team of six Land Rover models.
Steel was still rationed in the postwar years, so Series I models used more plentiful aluminum in their body construction, which ultimately led to improved corrosion resistance. Paint, with the exception of army-specification dark green, was also at a premium, so early production models were offered only in this all-business hue. Rover still envisioned itself as a luxury automaker, and the Series I was seen as a way to generate the necessary cash flow until the automobile business re-established itself. Following the restart of automobile production, however, the Land Rover continued to outsell its more comfortable cousins, and remained in the product lineup far longer than Wilks could have imagined.
From 1948, when the Series I entered production, through 1951, the Land Rover was offered only with an 80-inch wheelbase and a 1.6-liter, 50-horsepower inline four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission. All Land Rovers were equipped with four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case, and amenities such as full doors, a canvas roof or a metal roof were optional extras.
Rover fell back on its luxury past during this time as well, offering a wooden-framed "station wagon" variant built by coachbuilder Tickford beginning in 1949. These models came with luxuries like leather seating, a heater, additional trim and a single-piece windshield; their downfall was they were taxed as automobiles instead of commercial vehicles, increasing their ownership cost and limiting their appeal.
Dragging the sand to create the massive drawing.
Engine size increased to 2.0-liters in 1952, raising output to 58 horsepower, and in 1954 the Land Rover grew in size for the first time, stretching to an 86-inch wheelbase. It would grow again in 1956, to 88 inches, but in 1955 a long-wheelbase model, measuring 170 inches (and later, 108 inches) was also added to the lineup.
The product line evolved over the years, adding models (such as pickups, troop carriers and even cab-forward trucks) when necessary and transitioning to the Series II in 1958 and the Series IIA in 1961. Both were marked with the introduction of new engines and subtle styling changes, but the trucks remained unmistakable as to their origin. The Series III arrived in 1971 and would carry the brand through the 1985 model year, eventually adding a V-8 engine to the option list. Rover sold over 440,000 of the Series III variant, enjoying brisk sales around the globe throughout the 1970s, with the exception of the United States, which remained loyal to the Jeep Wrangler.
The Defender series debuted in 1983, originating with the Land Rover 90 and Land Rover 110, depending upon wheelbase. Though stylistically and mechanically updated from the original Land Rover Series models, the Defender remained familiar in its appearance. The changes were enough to turn around Land Rover's sales, which had dropped dramatically in the early years of the 1980s, and in 1993 the Defender was introduced (or reintroduced) to the United States.
The send-off models include the Heritage, Adventure and Autobiography Editions.
The model would be short-lived on these shores; though extensive modifications were made to comply with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, further changes (such as driver and passenger airbags and side impact door beams) would have necessitated another costly redesign for the 1998 model year. Given the limited market in North America, Land Rover opted to withdraw the Defender and focus on sales of its luxury SUVs, creating an oddly strong demand for gray market Defender imports.
The Defender soldiered on in global markets, and in late 2013 Land Rover announced that production would end at the conclusion of 2015 (although the automaker is currently looking at off-shoring production for fleet customers outside the EU). For those living on the other side of the pond, the automaker is sending the beloved 4×4 off with a trio of special editions, including the Autobiography Edition, with an emphasis on performance and luxury; the Heritage Edition, which blends nostalgia with modern amenities; and the Adventure Edition, which embraces the Land Rover's long-standing go-absolutely-anywhere ethos. All three are easy on the eyes (assuming, of course, one has an affinity for Land Rovers), but all will remain forbidden fruit on these shores, at least until 2040.
Land Rover is sending the model off with a fitting tribute, but it's still sad to see it go. After almost seven decades of Series and Defender production, the truck's replacement (which reportedly will be sold in North America) will have some tough shoes to fill.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1959 Land Rover Series II Model 88
There's a certain mechanical honesty to early Land Rovers that's missing from modern SUVs. Simple, (relatively) reliable and able to competently traverse a wide variety of terrain, buying a Land Rover is, in a way, akin to parking peace of mind in your garage. This 1959 Land Rover Series II Model 88, for sale on Hemmings.com, is described by its current owner as "structurally restored," and used on an occasional basis only. Not cosmetically perfect, the aluminum body has the expected dents from 55 years of non-highway use, yet the relatively recent paint still appears to shine. Another plus is the truck's conversion from positive to negative ground, but the seats (still covered in now-unobtainable "Elephant Hide" vinyl) are overdue for rebuilding. From the seller's description:
This is a rare 1959 Land Rover Series II that has been structurally restored and functions perfectly. The standard 2.25 litre engine starts effortlessly, runs cool, has been regularly serviced and has current NYS inspection through September 2015. It has the standard Series II 4-speed transmission and four-wheel drive system. The vehicle has been used for fun around our property, driven rarely, and garaged year-round.
Like all Rovers of this vintage, this is not a daily driver (top speed is around 45 mph). We use it for family fun only, though it has also proved to be an utterly dependable fall-back if we are snowed in. The electrical system is the only thing upgraded from the original: In the course of installing a new solenoid/starter switch, I had my mechanic switch the vehicle to negative ground (including full field generator) and rewire as needed—e.g. the amp meter and coil wires. Everything works flawlessly.
The frame is perfectly sound and the body is in great shape, though like all such early aluminum Rovers it had a few dents and undulations, which were preserved when it was last painted; the paint job is four years old and looks new. No cosmetic upgrades have been made to the interior, which is as Spartan as the original, including classic "Elephant Hide" seats, though the seats are heavily worn and need replacing.
The rear compartment has no seats; it is covered with a 3/4"-thick rubber mat protecting the full floor-bed. The tires are Dunlop Radial Rovers, 235/85R-16.

Jaguar announces restoration service and support for its classic cars
A Jaguar Heritage Racing D-Type awaits its next event. Photos courtesy Jaguar Land Rover.
Own a vintage Mercedes-Benz, and repair or restoration can be booked through the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center. Similar classic vehicle services are provided by luxury brands Porsche, Ferrari, BMW and Aston Martin, and on August 1, Jaguar adds itself to the list of manufacturers catering to owners of other-than-new vehicles.
The announcement came buried in a press release discussing Jaguar Land Rover's newly formed Special Operations Group, which is best broken into two segments for clarity. For those interested in new (or future) vehicles, the Special Operations Group will create both limited production and entirely bespoke models for clients and will operate out of a dedicated Technical Center to be constructed near Jaguar's current headquarters. For customers with vintage Jaguars, the Heritage Vehicle Workshop will be based out of Browns Lane in Coventry, the site of Jaguar's headquarters from 1951 through 2005. Though much of the Browns Lane facility (including the former assembly line buildings and the Jaguar Heritage Museum) has since been razed, the location is still described by Jaguar as "its spiritual home."
Lightweight Jaguar E-Type under construction.
The first project to come from Jaguar's Heritage Vehicle Workshop will be the six continuation Lightweight E-Types, announced in May and set to be unveiled later this year. In addition to vehicle recreations and continuations, the Heritage Vehicle Workshop will also provide service, restorations and parts to owners of vintage Jaguars, and will be tasked with parts sourcing and re-creation as well. The venture officially begins on August 1, though it's a safe bet that work is already underway on the Lightweight E-Types to be assembled around the remaining six chassis numbers.
Just as the Special Operations Group will concentrate on new production models for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, heritage services will be available for Jaguar and Land Rover owners alike. Yet to be determined is whether the Browns Lane Heritage Vehicle Workshop will service both brands, or if Land Rover will construct a facility of its own for historic vehicle servicing and restoration. From a corporate perspective, demand for Jaguar parts and restoration is almost certainly greater than demand for Land Rover restoration, and hence a more profitable venture to begin with.
UPDATE (4.August 2014): Jaguar has announced that it will debut the first of the continuation lightweight E-Types later this month at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1960 Land Rover Series II
When it comes to Series II Land Rovers, we're used to seeing them in scratched, dented and semi-abused condition; after all, Land Rover has generally been the go-to vehicle of choice for explorers roaming jungles, deserts and savannas the world over. While the bright yellow paint of this 1960 Land Rover Series II for sale on Hemmings.com caught our eye, its pristine overall condition is what made us take a second look. With a recent and extensive restoration completed, this Series II looks ready to carry its next owner wherever he needs to go. From the seller's description:
Originally ordered by a Nevada mining company in bright yellow paint, the vehicle was instead lent by Merle Brennan to the 1960 Squaw Valley Winter Olympic Committee, who used it for ferrying staff and (most likely) contestants and visitors as needed during the Olympics. Part of the interior paint was in good enough condition to leave as-is!
In ground-up (chassis-off) restoration since 1998, the vehicle has been slowly and carefully restored to as-new or better mechanical and cosmetic condition, with a few significant updates: A new GM 181 CI motor (3 liter), producing nearly 150 BHP… about double the 70+ HP of the original motor. A Weber dual throat 38 DGAS automatic electric choke carburettor, with custom manifolds. The remaining running gear is the original gear, including gearbox, transfer case, and differentials. New, heavy-duty propeller shafts were manufactured for the vehicle by Great Basin Rovers in Utah. New power-assisted hydraulics, operating the original (but new) drum brake system. New parabolic leaf springs, featuring excellent compliance with uneven road surfaces, yet giving ride comfort more similar to coil spring suspension than the original stiff multi-leaf springs. The original wiring has been completely replaced by a new LR harness, modified to account for the all-electronic FM ignition and to permit the fitting of an entirely new modern blade-type fuse system. Exterior lights are Defender-type. Twin gas tanks have been fitted. The road wheels are new, galvanized 16″ steel rims, giving a higher top speed than the original 15″ rims. Matching galvanized spare rim & tire. The interior has been restored as much as possible to its original condition, using the best quality available reproduction grey "elephant-hide" vinyl, from a well known British upholstery firm. A new leather/aluminium small diameter steering wheel, and a new, far more audible air horn. Fitted recently is the galvanized roof rack and two heavy duty aluminum sand ladders.
The rear side glass features a small collection of original decals commemorating the previous owner's participation in the Camel Trophy Series for Land Rovers, a worldwide series of competitive endurance trials meant to showcase the durability of production Land Rovers, under the toughest imaginable conditions to be found anywhere.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1986 Land Rover Defender 110
The Land Rover Defender can trace its lineage directly back to to the original Land Rover Series I, first launched in 1948, which means it carries the same go-absolutely-anywhere credibility of its ancestors. While a civilian version was sold in the United States from 1993 through 1997, nothing beats the rugged authenticity of a Land Rover Defender that began its life in the service of the British Ministry of Defense, like this 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 for sale on Hemmings.com. Acquired directly from the MOD, this example sports a 200Tdi engine, a new exhaust system, a new snorkel and a British military reconditioned transfer case, gearbox and axles. From the seller's description:
ex MOD land rover defender soft top. This land rover was bought directly from the MOD agency, that means that it's last british use was army use and so it was reconditioned to keep the standards they require. I upgraded the motor to the 200tdi. New exhaust system, new snorkel, new heated exmoor trim seats, four new spacers to acommodate the discovery wheels, new glow plugs and recent oil change. The transfer case, gearbox, axels were all recondition in 2009 by the military. If you're going to purchase a landy online at least know it's history because that may save you some big bucks.

Skills 101 – Off-road driving techniques
Once you leave the pavement, pretty much all of your on-road driving techniques become null and void. Off-road driving takes a completely different mindset and skillset, the basics of which this Land Rover-produced video – uploaded to YouTube by Anderzander in two parts – aims to teach. Not only does it cover how to operate a Land Rover of that era, but it also gets into picking the correct speed, instructs on how to drive in sand and mud, and includes such utterly British lines as "a Land Rover immobilised is a moral defeat for the driver."
Four-Links – 4WD VW, Drive Nacho Drive, Wild Rovers, On the Road
* We all know that Volkswagen built Syncro Vanagons, but as Ronan Glon at Ran When Parked showed this week, a couple engineers at Volkswagen pushed to adapt four-wheel-drive to the Volkswagen Type 2 in the Seventies, with just five prototypes as a result.
* Speaking of off-road Volkswagen vans, a young couple named Brad and Sheena are on an extended round-the-world road trip in a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon named Nacho. I don't see any mention on their site of it being a Syncro, however. (via)
* Speaking of road tripping in older vehicles, reader Greg Corkum recently told us about Danielle and Drew, who are on an extended road trip of their own in a 1960 Land Rover Series 2 and blogging their adventures at The Wild Rovers.
* Speaking of young people with wanderlust (I can do this all day), the upcoming film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" appears not to have just thrown the old cars in as props, but treated them as characters in and of themselves, or so writes Tracy Shayhorn at Street Legal TV.
UPDATE (11.February 2013): Jay Ramey over at Hooniverse stumbled across a filming location for "On the Road" a couple years back and shared his experience and some photos.
* Finally, picture is unrelated. Actually, it's one of the six Helicas on display at Retromobile, courtesy Kit Foster.
Four-Links – Holden's Hurricane restored, London to Singapore, annualmobiles, Samsonite car stereo
* If you didn't catch it this week, a group of employees of Holden – GM's Australian arm – recently restored the 1969 Holden Hurricane concept car and didn't overlook all the pioneering techno features that defined the car.
* While researching Ben Carlin's round-the-globe trek in a Ford GPA, we ran across several mentions of the Oxford and Cambridge Far East Expedition, taken in 1955 in a pair of Land Rovers. Off-Road Action this week found a couple videos documenting that expedition (part 2 is here).
* Jaysen Ramsey recently emailed us with a link to his blog annualmobiles, which consists of car-related scans from old high school annuals. How cool would it have been to have Reynolds Buick advertising in your yearbook?
* Courtesy Roadsidepictures, we see here an excellent idea for installing a modern stereo in an older car without molesting the car's dash.
* Finally, it's been a while since we checked in on BigLorryBlog, where they recently posted a couple photos of the DAF Pony, which looks as though it may have evolved out of the DAF-International World Utility Truck project. Any DAF historians care to elaborate on that theory?
Four-Links – Little Oscar, Woodward history, Jeep rebodies, Australian land-speed history
* While digging around for our quick story on the 75th anniversary of the Wienermobile this week, we came across the above photo at These Americans, which shows the later, Fifties-style Wienermobile as well as Little Oscar, portrayed by Meinhardt Raabe, an actor who also played the munchkin coroner that pronounced the death of the Wicked Witch of the East.
* Car guys may know Woodward Avenue as the location for Detroit's world-famous Woodward Dream Cruise, but to Detroiters, it's one of their main thoroughfares – Main Street, almost – and Barry Wolk pointed us to this excellent pictorial on DetNews.com chronicling the avenue throughout the years.
* While the World War II Jeep served well as a military vehicle, it lacked certain refinements as a passenger vehicle after the war. As we see from an April 1947 Mechanix Illustrated article posted to Modern Mechanix, a number of backyard builders attempted to remedy this situation.
* Land-speed racing is and always has been just as popular a motorsport in Australia as in the United States and Britain – it's just that less is known of it. Take, for instance, the Anzac and the Fred H. Stewart Enterprise, two early Australian land-speed racers recently profiled over on Kustom Kulture Australia.
* Finally, Flickr member 731132 has compiled a gallery of doodlebugs and other homemade tractors from around the world, including the Land Rover-based swamp buggy above.

If you missed the ad in Dulcimer Players News, don't miss the opportunity to register now for the Raintree Music Heritage Weekend Festival, May 8-10. Now a full weekend at a new venue: The Cornerstone Campground in New Castle, IN. See the website: raintreemusicheritagefestival.weebly.com
To all the C.I. MEMBERS, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Bill Robison
I'd like to thank all the folks who showed up at our first Mountain Dulcimer Day in Metamora! We had roughly 40 attendees for the two sessions....traditional/beginners by Sharon Day, and Intermediate/non traditional by John Sheckler. Can't wait to do it again!
Hey friends! I have a new player friend who needs a case or gig bag for his dulcimer. He's a senior citizen and on a somewhat limited budget. He'll pay for it, but doesn't have a lot of disposable income. Anyone have a used one they'd be willing to part with? I can pick it up (and -pay for it) if it's in the general Indy area. Thanks!
Will definitely try to make this as soon as the travel winds down.
I absolutely will, Sharon! Thanks for the tip. I've been really impressed with Tull at Spiceland!
Folks, I hope it's OK to post this here. My wife, myself, and hammer dulcimer person Sharon O'Connell have started a new, all ages jam in Indy, 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at Big Mike's Cafe, 9611 N College in Indy. Dulcimers are ESPECIALLY welcome, but we won't turn any acoustic instrument away. We've long felt the need for an all ages acoustic jam in the area. 6-8PM, 1st and 3rd Mondays. Hope some of y'all can join us!
Rick, I'd really recommend Tull's DOGs. It's open to all dulcimer players. You won't find a more talented dulcimer performer/player/teacher anywhere than Tull. I have a few folks who started in our Spiceland group and have move on to Tull's group and have really learned a lot. I suggest you give it a try some Wednesday. You'll be glad you did.
Susan, thank you! I had no idea about that group. I'm free MOST Wednesdays (but not this one, sadly) so I'll get to participate in November! Thank you for the tip!
I can't believe, as I am working on the Bi-Centennial, that I forgot about Sam Stone. If you are working on that, take a look at Sam's music. Sam wrote many songs, one of them Dancing the Indiana Waltz.
Tull put Yesterday's Treasures, another of Sam's songs, in DAD as one of his monthly tabs some time ago.

Victor-Farmington Food Cupboard News Hard to believe it is March and Spring is right around the corner, but I thought it would be a good time to highlight a wonderful achievement of our church. 2011 donation of dollars and food from VUMC helped feed over 1700 people in our community! We're off to an amazing start for 2012 already too. In the month of February alone we donated 218 lbs. of food to the Food Cupboard. When we delivered the latest batch of soup donations from our Super Bowl initiative and our Pinewood Derby food collection initiative, there were less than a dozen cans of soup on the shelves to serve all of our clients for the week. Well, the shelves are looking fantastic after we delivered over 8 cases of soup thanks to all of you. Our friends at other local churches and the community are all pitching in as well. The Food Cupboard is moving to our new location at 1246 Commercial Drive, Building B in Farmington. We will be occupying a building front that's part of Farmington Mini Storage. From Route 9, cross over Route 332, then make a left onto Commercial Drive (just past Comfort Inn). We will be "Open for Business" on Monday, March 5th to serve our clients and will maintain the same hours of operation – Mondays and Wednesday – 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Food donations can still be left any time on the front porch of our 221 High Street location temporarily OR brought to our new location during our hours of operation only. Tell your friends and family to "Like" the Food Cupboard on Facebook. If you are already on Facebook, simply search for VictorFarmingtonCupboard and click "Like" to get the all of the latest updates on Food Cupboard news including urgent items needed, current initiatives/events that support the Food Cupboard, recipes, etc. Please see or email Gretchen Dunfey at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.

Lent Week 4
A year ago on a Sunday afternoon, I tried out a new church. Not necessarily because I was discontent with the one I was already attending, but because I was just looking for something more I couldn't quite put my finger on. I wanted to possibly meet some new people that weren't the same five people I talked to every week at my own church.
However, I am pretty cynical about churches. This church was considered the "cool" church in town where all the 20-somethings go. They had an official greeting team, because you know, saying hello to someone who is assigned to stand by the door and shake my hand feels so authentic and welcoming. They had a coffee bar and a welcome center where I could get a free mug and coffee for being a first time visitor.
When I walked into the sanctuary (which rather resembles an underground bomb shelter), there was a count-down clock on the screen and some music with a nondescript techno beat. I tried to sit in a corner where no one would notice me, and a guitar player wearing suspenders got on stage. The room started to fill up with plaid button-up shirts and thick rimmed glasses and knit beanie hats, stylish couples, and girls who look much better in skinny jeans than I do. I started to get a major "too cool for you" vibe, and moved over a few more seats, attempting to go unnoticed.
The band starts playing, and I see all these people enthusiastically clapping and lifting their hands and singing along to songs that I don't know, and I just feel kind of dead inside. I stand with my hands to my side, trying to sing along, and trying to feel something.
But 40 minutes later, I was trying to hide the tears in my eyes, because I heard exactly what I needed to hear. The message was on finances and scarcity, which had been a huge struggle for me that week. I felt like I would never have enough money to feel secure, and that all the decent men in the world were taken or interested in other women or seriously weird, and that there would never be enough for me.
The pastor asked us to take out our wallet, hand it to the person next to us, and then tell them how that felt. Suddenly, I looked around me, and I wanted to get to know these people I was so quick to judge half an hour ago. I wanted to share my story with them, and hear about their lives. I've never been great a making small talk, but somehow, in the midst of my social awkwardness and cynicism and inability to feel any affection for an invisible deity, something broke through to me.
Even now, I'm trying to remember that no amount of cynicism or disappointment or walls that we put up can truly separate us from the love of Christ.
I remembered after I wrote this that one of this Friday's lectionary readings was from Romans chapter 8. Funny how that works out.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.—Romans 8:38-39 ESV
Have you ever experienced something like this? How has God spoken to you despite your cynicism or unbelief?

Re: Big Unpaid Repo ?
If the OC still owns the debt, which would be indicated by the fact that they are still reporting a balance, then yes, both can report.
It is not really "double reporting" of the debt.
The OC is reporting the debt owed to them.
The debt collector is reporting the amount they are authorized to attempt to collect.
Should the debt collector purchase the debt, the amount they are reporting would then become both debt owed to them and debt they are attempting to collect. The OC would then report $0.

Mass Effect 3
The most annoying/stupid part of the Mass Effect story
should have been a choice for the overall fact that the majority of your choices you made throughout the entire series didn't matter. It's not like it was a surprise coming up on ME3, they started off right away in Part 2 not making a difference. I understand the difficulties in navigating every branching path that's possible but still none the less the story would have been a 1000 times better if your choices made a real difference.

Aria is not a Mary Sue
This x10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
If you don't like Aria, fine, but she is nowhere near Mary Sue level. If you want Mary Sue, try Liara or Shepard. Shep gets away with it because s/he's the player character, but Liara is cringeworthy. I don't dislike Liara as a character, but she's so far into Sue-dom she plays out like a bad fanfic.
Gosh, this is a hard decision.
- I hated, absolutely HATED Starchild and everything about him - even with the Extended Cut I can't stand his part in it.
- Kai Leng is one of the most terrible character ideas ever.
- While I can sort of understand that the indoctrination affected The Illusive Man in ME3, I still don't think that's justification for Cerberus battling the whole friggin' galaxy. I mean, seriously, a coup on the Citadel?
I'm going to go with Starchild. There is nothing worse than a random, supernatural character that appears at the end of a series to say that he's in control of everything.
while there were many things that annoyed me with ME3's story, I'm going to have to pick how they handled the whole war assets thing.
You spend all of me3 gathering up war assets that mean absoultely nothing.
in my opinion, the war assets should affect the final battle. A dragon age: origins deal would have been great. If you saved the krogan, but pissed off the salarians, then you get krogan shock troops for support, but lose out on salarian sniper squads. If you trick wreave, you can get both.
If you bring peace with the quarians and the geth, you get quarian marines and geth prime support units. If not, you get one or the other.
With the ability to summon support troops, the final battle could have been a lot cooler. They would have had to severly alter the earth battles to make them more difficult to account for your npc allies. The more support you garnered throughout the series, the easier it was to take earth. If you didn't gather much support, than the final battles would be a lot harder.
Another possiblilty would be to pull a suicide mission deal where instead of giving positions to squadmates, you give positions to armies. War asssets could play a part here. The more assets you have for each faction, the better they perform/more forces you get to work with.
What dissapoints me the most, is that you spend so much time getting all of the galaxy to cooperate, and then procede to solo the final mission... wtf is that? This idea would allow some of our decisions throughout the series to have affected at least something. Imo, it would have made the final battle much more interesting and fun as well.
Regarding all the decent options brought up here, there is simply too much wrong in ME3 to fit in all into one poll.

Aria is not a Mary Sue
Then what would you classify her as, she has the plot gravitation of the Great Attractor, is capable of things that even the hyper ass pull Cerberus from Mass Effect 3 can't do (see controlling a councilor compared to Cerberus tricking him), can control mortal enemies into an effective fleet, takes over Omega etc.
Poet Eliot had it all wrong....

Deploying Django¶
Django's chock-full of shortcuts to make Web developer's lives easier, but all those tools are of no use if you can't easily deploy your sites. Since Django's inception, ease of deployment has been a major goal. There's a number of good ways to easily deploy Django:
If you're new to deploying Django and/or Python, we'd recommend you try mod_wsgi first. In most cases it'll be the easiest, fastest, and most stable deployment choice.

How much growth for a Queen Palm?
I'm border line zone 8B-9A, northern Florida. I have 3 Queens. The tallest fronds on the three range from 6 - 7 1/2 feet. I've heard Queens grow fast BUT, realistically how much growth can I expect per year? Obviouslly this is a peak time for growth but I haven't seen anything that amazing. They're all on 2-3 fronds for the year. I fetilized, they look great. Will my Queens add more fronds, girth, or what next?
Queens can be exceedingly fast palms. I have been amazed at the growth rate on mine. In summer they are mind boggling!
Ive posted these pics before I believe, but here they are again showing a Queen's growth rate. I planted this Queen in late 2004 as a 3/7 gallon palm.
For size reference, the Sabals on the side of the driveway have roughtly 15 ft of trunk each.
June 2005
August 2006
January 2007
August 2007
Spock that is amazing growth! Did you do or use anything special for that Queen? Like fertilizer, water heavy, etc? My fronds look as big as your June 2005 pic but I do not have that much trunk. Also you benefit from a better zone but if I can get half that growth I'll be very happy.
Queen palms are heavy feeders so fertilize them with general palm fertilizer at least 4 times a year. Also they need MANGANESE. Add that separately. Queen palms also prefer acid soils (not common in Florida) so an addition of "Rhododenron & Azaela" granular time release fertilizer three or four times a year is beneficial. Home Depot is a great source for all your fertilizer needs.
If you have mature Queen palms that have been neglected and have developed "frizzle top", heavy feeding and additional watering is required until new healthy grow starts. In severe cases don't hesitate to pour a slury of manganese and water (a quart) right into the top of the palm crown. I did this and it worked to revive two palms close to death.

Hospital ratings on social media appear to reflect quality of care
Social media has become an important way for institutions to communicate – both sending messages and receiving feedback – with clients and with the general public. A new study from MGH investigators finds a correlation between how hospitals are rated on Facebook's five-star system and how well they performed on a widely-used measure of quality care. Read more.

3/25/15: Global health experts outline lessons to be learned from Ebola epidemic While the international response to the Ebola epidemic included unprecedented measures that appeared to be gaining control of the outbreak by the end of 2014, the past year has also revealed critical weaknesses in the global public health system.
3/17/15: Genetic background determines whether aspirin/NSAIDS will reduce colorectal cancer risk An analysis of genetic and lifestyle data from 10 large epidemiologic studies confirmed that regular use of aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs appears to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer in most individuals. The study also found that a few individuals with rare genetic variants do not share this benefit.
3/13/15: Bariatric surgery appears to cut risks for serious asthma-related events A study led by MGH investigators suggests that bariatric surgery can significantly reduce the risk of asthma attacks – also called exacerbations – in obese patients with asthma.
3/12/15: Inflammatory factor IL-3 may play essential role in development of sepsis A new study finds that Interleukin-3, an inflammatory factor most associated with allergic reactions, appears to have an important role in the overwhelming, life-threatening immune reaction called sepsis.

My new apt. is horrible! Help me!
I just moved into my own apt. two months ago. It's the first time I am living alone; I wanted to not deal with roommates and have peace and quiet since I work full-time as well as going to school part-time. The apt. is in a really nice area and I am able to afford it because it is a basement apartment and includes utilities. Upon moving in, I heard there was a family that lived above me with a three year old but my thoughts were "Great- they wonÂt be partiers and will be in bed early". But I didn't think about the noise that would travel to my apt. from the three year old constantly running around and jumping. I understand that children run around a lot so the main problem is that there is little or no insulation between our apartments because I hear stomping and thumping ALL THE TIME! Luckily, they donÂt stay up late but the other week, two days in a row, I heard them almost all day consistently. IÂm at the point where I wear earplugs and have the bathroom and kitchen fans on every time I am home. But I can STILL hear the thumping. It sounds like someone is hammering on my ceiling. I avoid my house before 9pm (when the kid usually goes to bed- but sometimes heÂs up until ten and the parents are not that quiet either).
The other thing is that I specifically asked my landlord if there had been break-ins in the building since I was concerned about living alone on a ground floor apt. He told me that there have not been any. But I found out from two neighbors that there have been 3-4 in the past couple of years (one early this year) and one was into my present unit!
I wrote a letter to my landlord telling him I know that thereÂs been break-ins and that I want him to put bars on the backdoor window of the building, which leads to my apartment. This is where the burglar broke in last time. I also documented that the noise level from the apartment above is far beyond average. I have not heard from him at all.
Basically, I want to know what my rights are and if I am able to break my lease based on these complaints. I am also researching whether or not my basement apartment was a legal conversion. If it is not, I can get out of my lease easily but if it is legal, I need another way out. Please help me! I cannot live here for a year!
I'm not allowed to put bars on windows due to a local fire code. The fact that he lied about the break in is very disturbing. I HATE LIARS!!!!! I had an apartment where the tenant thought someone broke in but didn't steal anything. I disclosed that to all tenants looking. I also let them know in advance about the neighbors, insects, bats, past pets, etc.
What do you mean by "leagal conversion" You could probably contact your local building and saftey to see if permits were pulled. Not sure if it would matter either way as far as breaking a lease.
Good luck!
I would encourage you to not take 'word of mouth', but head straight to the local police department and ask, so you have documentation. They should be able to give you copies of any reports of an break-in incidents at your address. Doubtful your landlord is going to put bars on a window that's a potential fire escape. That's asking for major liability.
I'm no lawyer, but misleading someone about crime in order to get them comfortable enough to sign a binding contract doesn't sound above board. Perhaps that's your leverage out, moreso than the noise?
definitely check to see if the apartment is legal. Many times in NYC (not sure where you are) people rent out their basements illegally (i.e. making a one family house into a two family when it is zoned only for a one family, etc). This might be your best route. It's possible that since your rent includes utilities, it may be an illegal unit, as this is one sign of an illegal unit.
To follow up on my posting...I did find out that the unit is most likely NOT legal. I am going to talk to a lawyer next week. There were no permits to make the building a ten unit building from an 8 unit building and it is still documented as an 8 unit building. I am happy that I may have a way out of this hell! I may even be able to get all my rent back and have my landlord pay for my moving costs. But we'll see if my landlord lets me out of this by paying me. If not, I'm filing a complaint with the city and he'll have to pay way more in fines and taxes.
The problem now is finding another place. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time...
Thanks for all your advice to those that responded.
Sorry to hear that your first venture into a solo apartment is so disheartening, especially since you were smart enough to ask questions beforehand. And clearly you're smarter than most people in that you've thought to document the noise and send the landlord a letter, rather than just telephoning.
Hoping you don't have to spend too much on a lawyer...I wonder what would happen if you just wrote a stern letter to your landlord, saying that since he misled you about the safety and has refused to respond helpfully to your concerns (although I don't think you said how long it's been since your letter), you feel justified in asking to abrogate the lease (if that's the right word). Maybe he'd let you off the hook, since he'll understand that you're no pushover.
Good luck.
Until you are able to move out, I'd like to make a suggestion for security around your windows.
Measure your windows and go to a hardware store (Home Depot, Lowes, etc). Buy several cheap pieces of wood that will fit in each of the windows. Glue broken glass to these and place them where any prying hands will encounter this little surprise. Nails pounded through to the other side also work. Put stuff on the floor that will make a clattering noise if that boundary is breached.
Keep your cell phone next to your bed and have it set on speed dial for the cops.
Hope you get out of there and into a place with a better history of safety. Don't forget to tell your noisy neighbors why your moving out AFTER you have signed a new lease and are on the way out! Lying landlords deserve what they get.
Good luck
Bars are against fire code in most places.
"But I found out from two neighbors that there have been 3-4 in the past couple of years (one early this year) and one was into my present unit!": Are you sure they are telling you the truth? People exagerate, or get things wrong. I had one tenant telling people that there was a robbery in our building, when actually it occurred two buildings away.
Music blasting at 2am is unreasonable, people moving around during normal waking hours is reasonable.
There is no guarantee in any home or building that there will never be a crime. Most apartment robberies are by people who know the tenant. Just because there may have been a break in years ago in your unit does not make it unsafe.
So you chose the cheapest apartment available, and now are going to screw the owner because you did not realize that in a basement apartment someone would be living above you? You sound like a great person.
Why don't you just sublease the apartment out to someone else?

CoverGirl TRUblend Liquid Makeup Reviews
amazingI was skeptical because I haven't done well with liquid foundations, but TruBlend has really kicked my butt. It's amazing how it matches up with my skin tone as well as not feel caked on — 6 years, 11 months agotoughcookie4 | 21 reviews
light and silkyI absolutly love it is so light and silky I remember the first day I got it I couldn't believe how soft it made my skin feel. — 6 years, 12 months agomeganmarie | 3 reviews
Flawless Cover!I absolutely love CoverGirl's TruBlend makeup. I have moderate acne, and so I am very picky about what type of foundation I use. I went through four other types of foundation before finding TruBlend. The first time I used it I was really surprised at how light it feels when going on, and how it covered and gave a beautiful, flawless appearance - even in spite of my acne. It lasts quite a while too...read more, throughout the day. For the price and the quality, I have a high opinion of CG's TruBlend. It leaves your skin feeling silky and natural, not oily as some other makeup does. The coverage is the best part. It reduced the red spots and covered the acne scars, and gave me quite a confidence boost. — 7 years, 1 month agoShadowess | 6 reviews

HeavenlyThey should change the name to heavenly! I have always had trouble finding a liquid makeup that I like. I hate the cakey, nasty feeling that most leave you with.

Great ProductNow a days it's hard to find that one foundation that works for you. For the longest time I've had dark circles under my eyes and I've always had trouble covering those troubled areas.

Can't stand itI was so disappointed with this product. It's too oily, it made my skin breakout all over, and it had a cake-like finish to it. I no longer use CoverGirl foundations, and I'm glad I don't. — 7 years, 2 months agoMarineGF707 | 8 reviews

Chance in Creation
Is Poverty Satanic?
One of the most important scriptural texts for the theological consideration of poverty is to be found in Alma 32. This chapter discusses Alma's mission to the Zoramites. During a sermon on the hill Onidah, Alma is approached by a group of impoverished individuals who were "poor in heart, because of their poverty as to the things of the world" (v. 4). In effect, because of poverty and social exclusion, these people had become an ideal audience for Alma's missionary efforts. So the question arises: Is poverty therefore a virtuous force, bringing people to Christ who would otherwise reject... Read more »

Illinois businesses lose money, production to copper thefts
Businesses in Winnebago County, Illinois, have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to copper thieves in the past year, according to a report from Rockford's WIFR.
Winnebago County Sheriff Deputy Chief Dominic Iasparro said thieves have been stealing copper from equipment at quarries in Roscoe and Seward and near Rockford.
Paul Munson of Northern Illinois Service Company said the company's Sandy Hollow Road site has experienced copper theft about 12 times since March 2012. Munson said the thefts have cost the company nearly $400,000 in machine repairs and security upgrades, as well as about three months of lost production.
According to the report, investigators have said multiple people are likely committing the copper thefts. Authorities have not made any arrests since the thefts began a year ago.

The Wake of Sandy in Pictures
The initial loss estimate for this weeks storm is about $5 billion dollars, according to EQECAT; the organization also cites initial economic damage estimate for this event of about $10 billion, or comparable to Hurricane Irene. Various areas of the northeast suffered uprooted trees, blown generators and crippling floods. To find more coverage, click here.
Douglas Blonsky, president and CEO of the Central Park Conservancy, examines a 100-year-old uprooted oak tree in Central Park in New York, U.S., on Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012. The Atlantic superstorm Sandy churned across Pennsylvania after blacking out much of southern Manhattan and leaving a trail of flooding, death and destruction along the East Coast.

I've done some searching on this and cant come up with a firm Clone recipe for this brew.
has anyone come up with\heard of a substantial Clone for Deschutes Red Chair NWPA, its come to be one of my favs recently...
my closest guess so far is
95 Min boil
English Pale Ale yeast
2 row pale malt, Crystal 60, carastan, cara pills, and pilsner malt.
hoped with centenial to bitter, and cascade to flavor\aroma
but I dont know the amounts of grains (I am looking for a partial mash recipe)
I am good at brewing and the techniques, but havnt spent much time paying attention to the way recipes are put together..
I have seen this, that is where i got the basic recipe construction, but am curious if anyone has been able to take it any further than just the basic ingredients and knock out a good clone...if not, no worries..but just checking around before I give up on it
It's a "new" beer and I think few people have tried. Really not new, but changing the name from IPA to NWPA has drawn the publicity.
In any case, the guy's recipe in the other post is close. Just sub the bittering with Galena and any simcoe/citra with centennial or cascade. Use 1275 yeast and you should have something very close.
For extra points use Great Western NW Pale Ale malt instead of normal 2-row.

UPDATE: Dead body on Flagler shore lived in St. Augustine

UPDATED 4 p.m.
A dead man was discovered at Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area the morning of July 22.
Flagler Beach Chief Dan Cody said a passerby found the body two or three feet in the water.
"He hadn't been there long," Cody said. From there, detectives located a vehicle parked near the Flagler Beach water tower. Inside, they located an ID that matched the body. The address was in St. Augustine, so detectives contacted law enforcement there, to notify next of kin.
At that moment, Cody said, an officer in St. Augustine was preparing to file a missing person report. A woman had come in shortly before to report that her brother was missing.
A victim's advocate was contacted to assist with notifying the sister, but as of 4 p.m., she had not yet been notified, and therefore the identity of the man has not yet been released.
Cody said the body had cuts, bruises and abrasions that are consistent with injuries of a being tossed in the surf.
"We don't know whether they were self-inflicted," he added. The medical examiner's report has not been completed yet.
Gamble Rogers State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach is located at 3100 S. State Road A1A, three miles south of the Flagler Beach Pier.
