On the bi-centenary of the birth of her husband, Charles
On the occasion of my dear husband's 200th birthday, and in response to the prodigious quantity of material and events marking the year, I am compelled to add my voice, soft though it may be, to the loudening din.
Before I begin with regard to Charles, however, I must acknowledge that – to my acute embarrassment, it appears my own private diaries are published – oh dear, oh dear! – as are my husband's list of the pros and cons of marriage. Even my own humble recipe book has apparently been 'revived' and published – to my great personal pride – as far and wide as the Amazon!
Now, though I am pleased to learn that my husband's biographers have echoed down through the years his own assertion - that 'the voyage of the Beagle was by far the most important event' in his life (with the Lord's help I have learned not begrudge the Beagle that primacy), it seems that in the popular consciousness, the nuanced multiplicity of effects the voyage had on him is not always remembered. Charles was indeed exposed to a wonderful yet baffling array of geological, zoological and botanical facts, which he was then compelled by his insatiable curiosity to make sense of, but there were other legacies as well.
Beyond his occasional nostalgic humming of the sailors' shanties (scandalous!), beyond his blanching at the memory of his chronic seasickness, and beyond all the other small legacies, like the foreign shells he would sometimes bring down from the attic for the children to play with, there are two particular ways that the voyage shaped Charles's life.
Firstly, he would often remember with heart-wrenching disgust his encounter with the barbarous practice of slavery in the Brazils, and the memory of his ensuing arguments with Captain FitzRoy on the matter upset him most regrettably. Yes, Charles was a passionate abolitionist – as were our whole family – but his passion was lit doubly by first-hand experience – so much so that he even viewed his scientific efforts as part of this 'sacred cause'.
Charles's compassion towards humanity even extended to our fellow creatures. Indeed he and I both felt so strongly on this matter, that we published an appeal to stop the use of steel vermin traps which inflicted such terrible suffering on the poor, innocent creatures caught therein.
Secondly, my poor dear husband's health was, in precisely what way I do not know, permanently marred by his voyage around the world. His illness weighed heavily on my mind and I made great efforts to record every detail of my invalid's progress in the hope that some pattern might be revealed and thus hint at a cure. Looking back on my notes now, I laugh to see how clearly they betray that my husband's disciplined habits of impartial observation, and his attempts to derive simple explanations for complex and seemingly disparate facts, were transferred to myself!
While on the topic of science, I am most comforted to learn that my husband's legacy has helped guide the development of cures for the deadly afflictions that ultimately took the lives of our dearest Annie and Charles Jr. and so many other innocent children.
Now waves of nostalgia wash over me, and I am moved to recall Charles's last words, so marked by his physical pain and yet so full of love for me and our children, and concern for our welfare above his own. It grieves me to learn that some in these modern times think of him as a cold, hard man failing in – or even actively shunning – the preciousness of human life, for it was in its very cause that my husband worked so painstakingly to demonstrate that the bond of common descent is shared by all living things.
Emma Darwin (1808-1896) married Charles in 1839 and outlived him by 14 years. They had 10 children. She was assisted in writing for us by Karen James, a geneticist in the Botany Department of the Natural History Museum who is also co-ordinating the Museum's Darwin200 science projects. Karen is also Director of Science for the HMS Beagle Project, in association with which she co-writes The Beagle Project Blog.

Ruth Wilson (UKRC moderator):
Dear Emma, We are proud and fortunate to be able to publish your thoughts in this fortnight spanning the birth of your husband Charles (12 February 1809), and we warmly welcome you to UKRC and the world of 'blogging'. It is clear that your companionship, care and housekeeping skills ensured an environment in which your often ailing husband could work, and we owe you much gratitude for this. I am looking forward to learning more about your life. Thank you for joining us.
Emma Darwin:
Oh! It is my most humble pleasure, Ruth. I will watch this space with great interest over the coming fortnight and endeavour to answer whatever questions your correspondents may write here.
Hi Emma, You are such a beautiful writer and have such interesting things to say. Your husband was one of the greatest intellectuals of all time. As you know, he had to overcome not only the prejudice of others, such as the views of Adam Sedgwick, he had to overcome his own previous beliefs. One of his greatest achievements was his ability to allow the data to assist him in framing his theory. You know yourself how rare this is. Indeed, your tolerance for beliefs contrary to your own is a testament to your own intellectual independence. This year must be a great one for you. Do you think your husband would be embarrassed by all the adulation he is receiving this year?
Dear Emma, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I don't want to pry, but I notice you were 31 when you married - was that usual for the time? And your husband was one year younger. Can you tell me a little more about that period of courtship and your thoughts about it? You then had TEN children, at a time when medical provision was fairly primitive compared to now and when many died in childbirth. How old were you when the last was born? And how was your health?
Emma Darwin:
Dear Larry, sincerest thanks for your kind remarks about my writing and my husband's accomplishments. He never liked being the centre of public attention and yet he always did aspire in his heart of hearts to take his place among the great men of science and surely this celebration leaves no room for doubt that he succeeded!
Emma Darwin:
Dear Melanie, thank you for your interest in our humble lives. As I mentioned in my missive above I am most amazed about the advances in medicine since our own time - not so long ago if you think of it - and since writing it I have also learned of wondrous progress in women's health and education. My heart is glad beyond measure that parents today don't have to suffer as much as we did - losing three of our ten dear children was almost more than we could bear. I suppose I was older than most when we married but more unusual was the fact that we were first cousins. During our courtship my dear Charles was full of energy - always scribbling in those little private notebooks about what we then called 'transmutation'. He wrote to me before we married, "I think you will humanize me, & soon teach me there is greater happiness, than building theories, & accumulating facts in silence & solitude. My own dearest Emma, I earnestly pray, you may never regret the great, & I will add very good, deed, you are to perform on the Tuesday: my own dear future wife, God bless you." As for my feelings for him, he was the most open, transparent man I ever saw, and every word expressed his real thoughts. He was particularly affectionate . . . and possessed some minor qualities that add particularly to one's happiness, such as not being fastidious, and being humane to animals.
Sarah Pemberton:
Dear Emma, It is fascinating to read about your life. I am a huge fan of your husband's work and find it amazing that his theory of natural section was reported less than 200 years ago and that we are still fascinated by collecting the evidence to support and promote this theory. I wonder if your husband was given to any 'eureka' moments and how did it feel to have his work finally published which was hugely controversial in it's time, and not without controversy today.
Thomas Henry Huxley:
My dear Emma, It is gratifying to see your dear Charles having the accolades he so deserved being laid at his feet as it were. It is long overdue. As you know, I was initially doubtful of what I shall here call the "new evolution" until Charles persuaded me otherwise. Nevertheless, to my eternal shame, I remained skeptical of Charles' theory of natural selection. As you are aware, this was not because I did not think it a good hypothesis, but because there seemed to be insufficient evidence to support it. Charles convinced me that evolution did indeed take place, so my skepticism concerned only a particular mechanism, natural selection, and how it operated in the natural world to create new species. How shortsighted I was in this respect. Please accept my apologies on his behalf. Were I able to live through this period again, I would be an unequivocal supporter without serious reservations whatsoever. Hindsight is a grand thing in hindsight, is it not. I do so hope that you are enjoying this year. With affection, T. H. Huxley, 1825 - 1895 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Henry_Huxley
Dusha Bateson:
Dear Emma Knowing that Down House was not only your home but also the place where C.D. did all his writing and experiments. The "skeletonizing" of animal corpses and the examining of specimens sent from all over the world must have been hard to bear, even for someone, like you who was not known to be especially tidy or house-proud! So my question for you is this, How do you put up with all the ghastly smells and the mess from your husband's work? For the modern reader who would like to try a recipe from your notebook, the one for Cheese Straws which we reproduced in our book is very simple, easy to follow and the results are delicious with, say, drinks before dinner. I give it below. With great respect Dusha Bateson
Emma's recipe for Cheese Straws:
For many of us in 2009 the invention of the food processor has turned pastry-making from a lottery into a certainty. All those wise saws about cool hands and light fingers can be consigned to the past; we just whizz the flour and butter, add whatever liquid the recipe calls for - milk, water, eggs, whole or yolks - another quick whirl and the job is done. Having said all that, the amounts given for Cheese Straws add up to just about the minimum volume with which an ordinary processor can function properly. If you have a Rolls Royce of a machine with a large capacity, the modern cook could double the quantities or fall back on the cool hands and light fingered method. 1½ oz Parmesan, finely grated (other hard cheese which may liquefy on baking) 1½ oz plain flour ¾ oz butter cut in small cubes A good pinch cayenne pepper A little salt Milk 1. Whizz the first 5 ingredients in a food processor until nicely blended. 2. Add milk, with the machine running slowly, until the pastry shows signs of coming together. 3. Tip out the mixture onto a floured surface and knead quickly into a ball. 4. Roll out the pastry until it is very thin. 5. Cut into strips - about 1/3 wide and 3 inches long. Place on a baking sheet and cook in a 150 oC oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. 6. Carefully transfer onto a wire rack and leave to cool. They will become crisp and easier to handle as they grow cold. Store in an air-tight tin - if you have any left to store!

Emma Darwin:
Dear Sarah, My humblest thanks for your kind words. It seems many today are labouring under the misapprehension that my husband had a 'eureka' moment in Galapagos, in fact the only one he describes with certainty came in his carriage near Down House, about which he later wrote, "and I can remember the very spot in the road, whilst in my carriage, when to my joy the solution occurred to me; and this was long after I had come to Down. The solution, as I believe, is that the modified offspring of all dominant and increasing forms tend to become adapted to many and highly diversified places in the economy of nature". About publishing the Origin, I am fairly certain my husband had mixed emotions: sometimes delighted - as when he saw that it was selling well in train stations - and sometimes frustrated (I wouldn't say it was regret) with some of the silly, sensationalist reactionary responses from certain circles. My warm regards, Emma
Emma Darwin:
My dear Thomas, How delightful to hear from you! I hope you will not burden yourself too much with regrets; after all, posterity seems to remember you as "Darwin's Bulldog" and not at all the doubts that you at one time expressed, which, anyhow, were most suitable at the time and Charles himself knew well, and acknowledged, all those discoveries, which, if made, would undermine his theory. It is truly gratifying to learn that science has borne out his theory with such strong support! Yours very truly, All the best &c., Emma
Emma Darwin:
Dear Dusha, I am glad to know my cheese straw recipe is still enjoyed! I cannot deny that occasionally the 'skeletonising' did try my patience. My correspondent at the Natural History Museum tells me the process has now been greatly improved with the use of flesh-eating beetles in place of boiling water and chemicals, though she says it still smells awful. Regards, Emma
Kaye Heyes:
Dearest Emma How wonderful to meet you. If it's not too personal a question, I was wondering how you personally felt about Charles' theories of eveolution in light of your strict Christian beliefs? And how did you cope with some of the more extreme reactions from the Church?
Ruth Wilson (UKRC moderator):
Dear Emma, Your great great granddaughter Ruth Padel has a series of four short radio programmes going out once a week this month about Charles. Do you get Radio 4? The programmes are full of insights into your life together, including the amazing level of care you gave him when he was ill. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/darwin/my_ancestor.shtml Programme 2 says you turned away nine suitors before accepting Charles, and that Chopin taught you to play the piano! I'd love to hear a bit more about your life before marriage. (By the way, you can find out more about your talented great great granddaughter here: http://www.ruthpadel.com )
Alfred Russel Wallace:
Dear Emma, I would like to thank you once again for the hospitality that you and Charles showed me when you invited me down to Down House. It was very generous of you both. I was very grateful. I never minded, as you know, that Charles received the lion's share of the credit for the theory of natural selection. After all, he did come up with the idea before I did, and he did do the back breaking work of showing by example after example how it might work. I have to confess to you that I was ever so slightly disappointed that my work in biogeography, particularly island biogeography, has never been really appreciated. While Charles and I never cared for adulation, respectful acknowledgment is another thing. Would you argue that I was before my time? I can think of three major works in the 20th century that carry out my approach - The Distribution and Abundance of Animals by Andrewartha and Birch, Geographical Ecology by Robert MacArthur, and The Theory of Island Biogeography by MacArthur and E. O. Wilson, none of whom cite me, and one in the 21st century, The Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity and Biogeography by Stephen Hubbell, who does not cite me either. You may feel that I am being petty, and you may be right. I must admit to some embarrassment feeling the way I do about being so ignored, no doubt due partially to the passage of time and circumstance; nevertheless, I am buoyed up by Charles' view of my work. As you know, his opinion has always been of importance to me. As you know, we were united in our intellectual independence, though the critical barriers he faced were so much greater and more vituperative than mine. I do hope that this celebration of your dear husband's achievements, so difficult to accomplish against what were almost insuperable obstacles, will give you comfort. I know it does me. A R Wallace 1823 - 1913 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Russel_Wallace
Anne Glover - Chief Scientific Adviser f:
Dear Emma The research that Charles published changed the way we think about life on the planet and is a constant inspiration. He also combined this with a very full family life and lots of other interests. On a recent visit to the National Library of Scotland, who hold the archive of John Murray who published much of Charles\' work, I found out that Charles had a weakness for romantic novels (19th century Mills&Boon?). This made him seem very human to me, not just a great intellect. If he was with us today, do you think he would have been passionate about science engagement and prepared to be an inspirational role model for combining a diversity of interests in life and still achieving greatness? Best wishes, Anne
Emma Darwin:
Dear Kaye, I was always supportive of my dear husband but it was difficult to watch his fading belief in the Lord. www.post-gazette.com/pg/09039/947445-109.stm I was so concerned that we might not be reunited in heaven, and he knew of my concern and it caused him pain. With regard to your second question, about the church, you know it's rather interesting - http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/denisalexander/blog/2009/02/09/darwin_lets_get_the_history_right_ I don't recall the reaction from the Church being 'extreme' in my time. Yours very sincerely, Emma
Man In Background With Dog:
Dear Mrs Darwin - we in Cromer look forward to your visit at the end of this month.
Emma Darwin:
Dear Ruth, Oh! I am truly grateful for news of my great great granddaughter! With regard to my life before marriage, it appears that my diaries which Mr van Wyhe has 'scanned' and published (my embarrassment at this is rather unbearable) go as far back as age sixteen and include such things as my European tour with my sisters and parents and my time in Geneva.
Emma Darwin:
Man in Background With Dog, Thanks to you and your dear family for the kind invitation! Emma"
Emma Darwin:
Dear Alfred, The pleasure of hosting you at Down House was entirely ours, I assure you. Certainly you were a man ahead of your time: my recent correspondence with modern scientists suggests that you are now considered the 'father of biogeography' and you have a number of champions not least your very own "Wallace's Rottweiler"! My highest regards, Yours very truly, &c., Emma Darwin http://thebeagleproject.blogspot.com/2008/07/guest-post-by-wallaces-rottweiler-on.html
Emma Darwin:
Dear Anne, I am humbled that someone as accomplished as yourself should take an interest in my missive here, for which my sincerest gratitude. You asked whether my dear Charles 'would have been passionate about science engagement' and the answer is, without a doubt, 'yes' - indeed one of the things that delighted him most about the popularity of his book On the Origin of Species was that it sold well in train stations! He also donated to help build a women's college laboratory in Cambridge. He even said
Alfred Russel Wallace:
Dear Emma, How kind you are. And I am very grateful for you bringing to my attention that I have a "Rottweiler", Dr Beccaloni. As you know, I do not get into 'civilization' much. Nevertheless, I did have a chance to read his notice that you so graciously put up. It is gratifying to see a noted scientist with a deep interest in the history of his subject. His explanation of my "eclipse" has the ring of truth to me, though I would add something to it. Traveling as I do in jungle territory far from western populations, it is difficult for me to be sure, but on reading what Dr Beccaloni wrote, I wondered whether an additional factor in my being forgotten might be that natural scientists of the 20th century have become virtually uninterested in the histories of their subjects, thinking that such histories have become largely irrelevant to working scientists except for the few. I wonder whether Dr Beccaloni would consider this to be the emergence of some kind of scientific philistinism. Whatever the case may be, do thank Dr Beccaloni profusely for me for bringing my work in this area to general attention. Although it sometimes feels unseemly, I admit to feeling greatly pleased at being viewed as the "father of biogeography". It is a great honour. I hope this letter finds you well. Yours very sincerely, A R Wallace
Thomas Henry Huxley:
My dear Emma, In this year of the celebration of the birth of Charles and the publication of his On the Origin of Species, what should be published but this approach to the financial sector: Financial Darwinism: Create Value or Self-destruct in a World of Risk by Leo M. Tilman (Wiley 2009). I guess no one should be surprised by this. And Tilman does link his perspective to the current financial crisis. His intention is to provide an evolutionarily based decision-making framework that will enable financial executives and investors to better adapt to the new financial world in which, in his opinion, they now must live. (Whether this new financial world is as inevitable as the author (along with others) appears to assume is a matter of debate.) While no one could reasonably disagree that social and cultural systems evolve, one might dispute the value of any close analogy between them and biological systems. One can find similar discussions in Spencer and Sumner, and Sumner's views especially created quite a furor, principally due to their extreme nature. Christian tolerance of the afflicted did not seem to be one of William's virtues. I doubt myself that Charles would be completely happy with this new kind of extension of his ideas. I am concerned, however, about how this might affect you. Yours affectionately, T H Huxley
Ruth Wilson (UKRC moderator):
Dear Emma, its Saturday 21 February and I know that these are your last couple of days with us (perhaps if a late query comes in we can still contact you.... ?). Thank you for your ready responses to such a range of readers, your contemporaries and people alive today. I was thinking about the end of your life - you lived 15 years longer than Darwin, and I think you spent your final years in Cambridge. Loosing Charles and leaving Down must have affected you deeply. Can you tell us a little about those final years?
Emma Darwin:
Dear Mr. Huxley, I have no doubt that you are right with regard to Charles' reaction to applications of his theory outside of biological science. He was very clear on that point even while he still lived. Thank you once again for your kind remarks. Yours very truly, Emma Darwin
Emma Darwin:
Dear Ruth and all of my correspondents here, Our discourse has been a very great pleasure to me. I would be delighted to respond to any further comments as they may trickle in throughout the year, so long as you are kind enough to alert me on their arrival. As for the late years of my life, yes, I did live in Cambridge for a time, in a house I am told is now part of the Fitzwilliam Museum. It seems fitting that Cambridge is still home to so many of my descendents including Richard Darwin Keynes, a scientist himself, who has done so much in his long life to further knowledge of my husband\'s life and writings to both scholars and the general public. Yours very sincerely and truly
Rachel Feldberg:
Dear Emma, We do very much hope that you and Charles might consider joining us at Ilkley Literature Festival in October. As I have no doubt you remember only too well, you and the family were staying in Ilkley where your husband was enjoying the water cure at the Hydro, when The Origin of Species was first published. We are hoping to stage a number of events, including reflections on your husbands many achievements from thinkers of the day and an exhibition of your trip to this delightful spot - to commemorate your visit and it would give us so much pleasure to have you with us, Dear Mrs Darwin, and hear your point of view on the matter. Very Sincerely, Rachel Feldberg , Director, Ilkley Literature Festival
Emma Darwin:
Dear Rachel, What a delightful prospect: to visit Ilkley again! You are most welcome to contact me by what my correspondent tells me is called 'email' at firstname.lastname@example.com
Emma Darwin:
Dear Great-great-granddaughter, I am quite simply overflowing with delight and pride at all of these accomplishments you\'ve been kind enough to list in your missive above, not least your own, which I see here are in no small store! How happy you make me that our love for family has been remembered in the face of all of this attention - this \'industry\' as you call it. With much love and affection

Ornamental wire fencing in CA
Greetings all. I'm looking to use old-fashioned double loop wire fence in the front yard of my 1920's house (not a bungalow, but kind of a mini-tudor cottage). I've read all the threads on ornamental single and double loop wire fencing and ordered 2 foot high looped wire fencing in a 100' roll from Michael's Fences in WY.
I need one 8-10' piece of 36" or 48" ornamental wire (double or single loop, old or new) to use as a trellis. Is there anybody in CA that would be willing to sell me just the 10'? I'd even pay for your old, rusty wire fencing--and I'll come take it down! I've called the distributors and manufacturers of the wire, who in turn gave me the hardware supply houses in CA. NONE of them sell the wire to any hardware stores near by. It's a special order item--but I do not want 100' at $150 plus shipping.
If you've seen the wire at one of your local hardware, garden or feed stores, could you please let me know? We travel all over the state, but can also mail order it. If you have any you want to get rid of, please let me know. Thanks, Kristine
Placer Farm Supply in Newcastle (right below Auburn) has it in rolls. I don't know if they sell it in less than a roll but a call would sure be easy. Thier nubmer is 916-663-3741.
I can look and see if I have any left...I know I had a small piece left but I am thinking it is like 3-4 ft.
When I found Placer, it was through a company in Colorado that wholesales it, and they gave me the number of retail places that carry it and Placer was closest to me. If necessary I might be able to find that CO company again.
Great idea! My old timey fence is buried under awful ivy (I rent and can't clear it...plus neighbor is nosey)
Lincoln Avenue Lumber in Pasadena might be able to help you. They've been around since the early 1900s!
This company's fences are found all over my area.
Maybe they can help?

Posted by Jane Hardy - Tennessee (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Nov 15, 00 at 17:33
I have 7 rolls of the ornamental single loop fence available. It is new (never used) and is perfect for the victorian, cottage or farmhouse yard, garden, pet area etc. I love it, but decided my yard is just too big to fence in, so I used it for just my pet area. It is VERY VERY hard to find I know since I looked for it for over a year before I found it. I'll be sad to let it go, but would love for someone to use it as I originally intended. My loss is certianly someone's gain. This fence is selling for nearly $300 a roll (+ shipping) and I've seen it for $475.00 per roll just today. This is the 48" fence and is 100 foot rolls . I'm selling all 7 rolls for just $1200.00 (local pickup OHIO only- due to its weight which is nearly 122 lbs each roll)

This place is remote, and lacks the "amenities" of the "normal" tourist traps, but I didn't come here to feel like I was still at home. The setting is stunningly beautiful, the cabins and lodge embrace the surroundings, and you will see more wildlife than you can imagine. We awoke to howler monkeys, saw the amazing scarlet macaws in flight, toucans by the pristine pool (solar powered ion-cleaned), a crocodile, and various hawks and lizards - all on our own. With the guides - our eyes were drawn to more amazing creatures including king vultures, three-toed sloths, capuchin and spider monkeys, and the deadly fer-de-lance snake.
The commitment that the managers and staff have to sustainability is commendable, and they walk their talk. Yes - the lighting in the cabins is dim (so as not to intrude on wildlife), and there is no wifi, but if you want a chance to disconnect from the rat race, you couldn't possible find a more beautiful place on the planet. If you drive (we did), you will be treated to about 20k of gut-busting dirt road, and honestly - I hope they NEVER pave it. You can't swim on the beach, as the rip tide is killer, but you CAN soak yourself in the tidepools or the lagoon - just be wary of the crocodile that hangs out there! I'll gladly deal with the road to have the chance to experience the wildlife and wonderful beauty of the Osa at El Remanso.
As an added bonus - the staff is remarkable, tolerating and encouraging us to practice our remedial Spanish (gracias, Tamar!), and alerting us to the presence of army ants marching through our room one evening and arranging for a different cabin that night (thanks, Sylvia!), even though the ants were long-gone before bedtime (they are harmless, and best left to just finish their troop movements). The guides are incredibly knowledgeable, with almost uncontained enthusiasm. I can still hear Gerardo yelling, "¡Mira! ¡Mira!" upon spying the King vultures.
We left El Remanso sadly, but also brought home with us fantastic memories, and a feeling of friendship and community with the fine folks that run the Lodge. Gracias por todos, Daniel y Adriana! Nos vemos pronto!

1997 Chevrolet Malibu Sedan 4dr Sedan
My 1997 Malibu I bought in Jan of 1998,
with only 2k miles on her. Since then
I have placed 94k miles on my 3.1 v6
motor! It been a awesome car, I do
alot of trips between San Antonio, TX
USA and Mexico City with is a hard
1,216 mile drive thru deserts and
mountain. My Malibu has not acted up

I bought this vehicle new in 1997 and
have been very happy with it overall.
With over 160K miles on it now it has
performed well. The V6 engine and
four speed automatic transmission are
perfectly matched. Typical highway
milage of about 29 MPG - not bad for
the 170 HP V6. In typical GM style,
this vehicle is not without it's
problems. At 50K miles it needed a
new torque converter and at about 80K
a lot of new front end parts to
tighten things back up. Replacement
parts have lasted longer than the
originals. All in all, this is still
one of the best vehicles I have ever

Don't ever buy one of these unless you
have a lot of money and time to waste.
A whole lot better to pay a couple
grand more and buy and Accord or a

I got very good deal on it only $4000
and i didnt expect to see a lot of
difference between my Ford Contour and
this one. I was mistaken . This is
defently a better car overall.
Espessialy in build quality. I didnt
have the car for a long time so i have
nothing to say about reliability. Its
working now at least...And if you like
to listen to music change the front
speakers. It cost only around $ 50.

Got a 1997 in April of 2001. I
found one with only 30K and got a
decent aftermarket warranty.(7 years or
100K miles bumper to bumper) Thank god
I paid the extra money for this
warrenty because in the past year its
only fun me about $200 to get over
$4000 of work done. The intire front
electronics system went out and I lost
all my speed sensors, power everything,
and the factory standard alttenator has
gone out 3 times. Even though this
stuff has happened I love this car.
Because of the V6 and heavier car its a
great ride and I have to drive 21 hours
to visit family and believe me its been
a life saver.

Bought car used with 30K miles.
Everything fine for the first 10K, then
just fell apart. Nothing but problems -
wheel bearing went, front end and motor
was so loose the car would actually
stall from the wires being pulled out
when stopping or starting out. Ignition
switch went and burned out starter at
the same time. Way too many problems
for a car with under 60K miles on it.
Very noisy, feel every bump in the road.

Pick one Mode or the other - and stick with it IMHO, Neal.
Sure, it'd be nice to set up Aile + Ele on one stick for yank and bank and a differnt config for ruddered planes - but it will end up biting you.
Particularly in a difficult moment - like lost orientation when you instinctively go for one style of bail-out. If you have to try to remember which sticks do what, by the time you remember you're in Mode X instead of Mode Y, you'll be picking up bits of plane.
Seriously, if Mode 2 suits you better, then just stick to it and fly that. Not everyone enjoys Mode 1, and up to a certain level IMHO, there's no real advantages between the two. M1 may have slight advantages way on down the track if you're into 3D helis or planes - but there's lots of M2 fliers who will fly rings around M1 pilots. Horses for courses.
I'd suggest you go for whatever mode suits you better. It is, after all, you who is flying the aircraft.
If you've played a lot of the early style computer fligt SIMS/games using a single joystick, chances are your brain is already hard-wired into Aile/Ele on the one stick. If you're right handed, that suggests that Mode 2 is your go - you've already got your movements programmed into your right hand.
In very broad general terms, a lot of US fliers are Mode 2, UK/Aus fliers tend to be Mode 1. But that's a very big generalisation. Most of the guys I fly with are M1 - but then again I haven't flown with more than about 100 people.
Pick the one that feels more natural and smooth to you, and go with that...
|Dec 01, 2012, 06:51 AM
I fly Mode 1, and most of my planes are yank-and-bank Aileron/Elevator.
A neat trick I learnt when flying a Rudder/Elevator-only plane is to slot the Rudder into the Aileron slot on the Rx. It's not exactly the same feel to me as an A/E plane, but it works.
I'm just starting to learn to use rudder on some of my newer planes - e.g. 3D. Really wierd feeling when you haven't had a rudder before. Rud/Aile mixing in modern Tx's kinda takes away a bit of the skill needed to use the benefit of a rudder to flaten out turns in scalies etc. (or do snap hammerheads in 3D's ), but it sure helps a hack like me

Hey gents! I have been monitoring the thread from my workbench and I'm glad to see its going real strong... I am going to build another wingset and get her back up there... I'm going to go the 4S route with the Ammo/Gearbox setup, I've used the MVVS for a bit and I want to see how the Ammo stacks up, they are equal in weight, which was a surprise to me.

I am staying where i am with modes, just toying with the idea a little.

Hi Demon 6,
Sorry, one day I will learn how to add links!!
In the meantime I will do it the hard way!
Turnigy D3548/4 1100KV
I think not going to fit siren, and I will not drill holes to run motor wires external,
so it should go really well in the skywalker, so I am still looking for a cheap motor (for now) for the siren.

The motor will fit, but the motor wires running down beside it could be the problem, which is what I am thinking may cause the probs.

Hi, neale.
There are lots of ways to keep wires away from an outrunner unless it's simply too big. If there's enough room it's a simple matter to hold the wires in place with a thin piece of plywood and a couple drops of expanding glue. I'll include the pic of my Specter as an example. I haven't had to deal with a tighter motor installation but, if one needs just a millimeter or two, I figure that one could simple place a cooling vent where one needs the extra room. Then, just put a scoop over the hole and no one will ever see the wire. The little scoops on my Specter were just made out of bits of plastic spoon.

Hi peteringh
I understand what you mean, I am just a little concerned about cutting into the fuse so close to the nose, and then trying to get 700-800 watts of power thru it without tearing the nose off!!

HI Demon 6
I originally bought the Ammo and G/B from Tower Hobbies\, they are telling me it must be lost in the mail, but they do not consider it lost until after 45 days.
After which I tell them it has not turned up, then I will find out what there policy is, So at the moment I have no plans to order another one at the moment.
|Dec 06, 2012, 04:36 AM
Man... that sucks.
I hope it turns up, Neal.
TowerH have a pretty good reputation - let's hope they look after you.

ok..Time to see your Philodrendrons! Please, what do you have?
Since I now know the difference between Pothos and Philo's,, I thought I would share what I think is the right plants since I have been growing them for quite sometime..
I love them all..They are so easy to care for and I find some not so easy to find...They never disappoint me in the smile category..Colorings of yellow, lime, orange, pink, reds, striped, variegated, whites, florescent and just plain ole green.
Let's see what you have.

Geez, I had no idea you'd gotten so many of those, Mike! Wow, hahaha. And, Tsuga, that's a monster alright! Great color on yours, too, Elkay.
Mike, is that first plant a variegated Monstera or a Philo? And is that last plant a variegated Wandering Jew? Awesome! I might have to beg a cutting of that....my friends and family all have a Wandering Jew cutting from the same "parent" plant.
Hello, Laura!
Thanks laura and josh.
tropicbreezent- you don't think its overpowering, do you? lol
I used to have a 25 year old shefflera that went to the ceiling in another corner but it gave up the ghost about 3 years ago. The room is out of balance now...gonna have to work on that.
Tj..My goodness...lol..I never saw such a huge one like that even in the wild..It's amazing...That poinsetta is to die for..Good job
Laura and Josh..Thank you. You're both two kind....Hope you guys are doing well..Josh if you would like snippings, not a problem-)
Elkay..What a beautiful pink color..How in the world do you grow a plant like that in a home environment? I never had luck with those..Love it.
They are from different genuses, Philodendron and Epipremnum (the Pothos.) With poor "reference" sites like this out there, it's easy to get confused. The plant pictured at the link is Pothos, Epipremnum. Scientific names are always in Latin. There are MANY different Philodendrons, literally almost 1,000 different species, with many different shapes, sizes, and colors of leaf. Some are vines, some are more like an upright shrub. Epipremnum genus has just a few species, all are all vines, similar looking, with various variegation varieties available.
There's about 600 to 700 species of Philodendrons, and probably 1000's of cultivars and hybrids. They come from the New World tropics. There's only 15 species of Epipremnum, they're from the Old World tropics. Some Epipremnum have solid leaves, some with splits, and some with fern-like leaves. Pothos is actually a totally different genus of about 56 species that come from the Old World tropics.
Got this gorgeous NOID over the weekend. It was an accident, displayed on the sidewalk of the store NEXT to the one I was going to. There were 3. The other 2 had slightly larger leaves and BLOOMS but only 1 growth point. I went with this one which doesn't look as mature, but has 3-4 growth points. They're so close together, I'm not totally sure. Will find out in a few weeks when it gets a new pot. Anyone who hasn't felt the thick yet silky luxury of a Philo leaf just hasn't lived yet!
My goodness everyone...
Your Philo's are amazing...I never realized how many different kinds there were...I have seen many in the wild too, but not as nice as some of them here.
Purple...You always seem to get the nicest of colors! Rainbows at your place for sure. Love the lime and reds crawling up that trellis in the pots..
Woodnative..I never heard of blue before...Wow.
Tropicbreeze..That's news to me. Thanks for the facts..There must be some beauts out there other than the ordinary that we see sold at stores..

NHS will save billions if more cycle to workPublished at 12:01AM, March 30 2015
Alcohol and cigarette consumption falls among commuters who start travelling to work by bicycle, according to new research
Cycle lanes segregated from motor traffic are being planned and built around the country as Britain seeks to extend the Olympics-inspired cycling boom.
Proposed schemes in London, Brighton and Southampton have been welcomed as a sign that councils are beginning to appreciate the economic and health benefits of encouraging cycling.
In the capital, the Cycle Superhighway that runs from Aldgate to Bow will be extended to Stratford under Transport for London plans that are currently open to consultation. Of the 3km of new cycle lanes to be built, 2.4km will be segregated from traffic by a kerb while ten junctions will be upgraded in line with demands made in the Times Cities Fit for Cycling campaign.
Surveys show that safely segregated cycle lanes are the most likely measure to encourage would-be cyclists to use busy roads. The scheme in East London would also include new bus stop "bypasses", taking cyclists round the back of bus stops rather than forcing them out into the carriageway. Work will start in late spring, with plans to open the route by the summer.
John Dales, a designer and traffic engineer with Urban Movement, who is working on schemes in Southampton and North London, said: "All the evidence shows that the reason people don't cycle is that they feel it would be unsafe. The stats may show that it actually is quite safe, but if we want them to get out of their cars and on to bicycles, then we are obliged to provide more space for cyclists with sufficient protection from other traffic."
In Camden, North London, consultation has just closed on a plan to renovate Royal College Street by installing two segregated cycle lanes on either side of the one-way street, to allow easier access for bicycles between Camden Town and St Pancras. The new cycle paths will be separated from the main carriageway by trees and plants, as part of efforts to make public spaces more pleasant. There are also proposals — which are at a very early stage — for cycle lanes on the busy Euston Road.
In Southampton, public consultation starts next month on plans to create a cycle corridor from the eastern edge of the city through the town centre and on to the railway station. About half of the 4.5km corridor would be separated from traffic, either on footways or separated cycle tracks on the Itchen Bridge.
Across the bridge, one roundabout would be transformed into a Dutch-style set-up — allowing cyclists to navigate round the outside of the roundabout without mixing with motor vehicles — while another junction could be fitted with Danish-style "cycle pockets", allowing cyclists to turn right by waiting in protected marked areas before moving off at a green light.
In Brighton, there are plans as part of a general upgrade to mark a two-metre cycle lane along the Lewes Road, running alongside separate lanes for buses and other traffic. The cycle lanes would run behind bus stops, so that buses do not have to cut across cycle lanes to pick up passengers. More than £4 million has been awarded to the scheme from the Local Sustainable Transport Fund, which is also bankrolling the project in Southampton.
Mr Dales said that many councils were reluctant to spend money on cycling if they perceived cyclist numbers to be low. But providing safe cycle routes would increase the number of cyclists and reduce motor traffic, he added, and the best way to do this was by providing separate cycle lanes.
"In many cases, just putting paint on the road is crap," he said. "Local authorities need to get into the mindset that the next step is to protect the cycle lanes so that motorists don't put wheels into them and park in them."

Sea Otter Family
Item No.1710109558
Sylvanian Families are an adorable range of distinctive animal characters with charming and beautiful homes, furniture and accessories. They live, work and play in the idyllic and wonderful land of Sylvania. Father Caspian Neptune spends as much time as he can with his family swimming in the sea even during those cold, windswept winter days. After a refreshing swim he enjoys a long walk along the beach looking for 'treasure' - strange bits and pieces the sea has washed up on the golden sands. Caspian has quite a large 'treasure' trove displayed around the family home. Mother Narrisa Neptune likes everything neat and tidy in her family home and her husband and daughter's 'treasure' collection makes for a lot of extra dusting and cleaning! Narrisa has decided this is a small price to pay for all the family time together on the beach. Sister Shelly Neptune is a beachcomber like her father. Her love is sea shells of all shapes and sizes. The shell colours are so bright and shiny

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Let ruling on morning-after pill stand
Putting an age restriction on buying the most common emergency contraception over the counter was never sound from a medical point of view. Now a federal judge has upset the political calculus behind the restriction, as well.
By the time the Food and Drug Administration decided, in late 2011, to lift the rule that girls under age 17 need a prescription for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.'s Plan B, the pill's safety was well-established. What's more, research had shown that the drug, which had been characterized as an abortion pill, was nothing of the sort. It works by interfering with fertilization. There's no evidence that it blocks the development of an already fertilized egg.
Yet Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius overruled the FDA's decision, and President Barack Obama endorsed her unprecedented action, arguing that, without an age limit, a 10- or 11-year-old could go to a drugstore and — "alongside bubble gum or batteries — be able to buy a medication that potentially, if not used properly, could end up having an adverse effect."
as federal Judge Edward R. Korman pointed out in overruling Sebelius's action, HOWEVER, when it comes to safety, "the standards are the same for aspirin and for contraceptives."
If anything, age restrictions on the morning-after pill are a bigger problem than they would be for pain relievers. Many doctors have explained why. The pill is most effective if taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex; there often isn't time for users to see a doctor before going to the pharmacy. Last November, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that its members work around the age restriction by prescribing the drug to teens in advance. (The American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also support making the morning-after pill available with no restrictions.)
Korman denounced Sebelius's interference in FDA decision-making just as he had earlier denounced efforts by THE George W. Bush White House to delay FDA action on the morning-after pill. The reasons Sebelius gave for her move — including "cognitive and behavioural" differences in the youngest reproductive-age girls — were "so unpersuasive as to call into question her good faith," the judge said.
Korman instructed the FDA to make emergency contraceptives available with no prescription or age restrictions within 30 days.
Now Sebelius must decide whether to appeal the ruling. With the presidential election that loomed over the secretary's 2011 action well past, she should let the judge's order stand.

Joni Mitchell Is In The Hospital After She Was Found Unconscious In Her Home
And all together now while putting on "River": NOOOooooOOOOOO.
TMZ says that the legendary Joni Mitchell was found unconscious at her home in Bel Air this afternoon. Someone at her house called 911. Joni eventually came to and was "alert" during the ambulance ride to the hospital. 71-year-old Joni is now in ICU. Her Twitter account confirmed that she's in the hospital, but they didn't really have any details. TMZ says that they're hearing it's "serious."
The Daily Mail also points out that in her memoirs, Joni wrote about how she was diagnosed with Morgellons, which is a condition where the sufferer believes that disgusting parasites are living under their skin. If you want to be able to close your eyes again, do not go to Google Images and type in "Morgellons."
Now let's resume the prayer circle.

Harrison Ford Barely Got Out Of The Hospital Following That Plane Crash
After Harrison Ford pulled a Pepaw Goes Down by crash landing his itsy bitsy plane on a golf course in L.A. on March 5th, his son said he was doing okay and I figured that the nurses just poured some vodka on his wounds, shined up his earring and sent him on his way. But Harrison Ford was broke off and tore off after that crash. Harrison had to spend over 3 weeks in the hospital getting himself back together. I know, who knew a 72-year-old would have to nibble on tapioca pudding in the hospital for over 21 days after he nearly broke all his bones from going BOOM on the ground. I just hope that Angelica from one of my favorite Harrison Ford movies Six Days, Seven Nights visited him in the hospital and did her hot exotic dance of seduction for him. And yes, I know that I'll probably be forced to spend 21 days in the mental hospital for admitting that Six Days, Seven Nights is one of my favorite Harrison Ford movies.
UsWeekly says that Harrison was sent home sometime late last week. A source said that Harrison busted his pelvis and ankle. He will continue to get treatment at a rehab facility.
As for Harrison's old ass plane, a source say that a beagle wearing a red scarf picked it up from the junkyard. That plane is finally with its rightful owner and now Snoopy can really get that Red Baron.
Open Post: Hosted By RiRi Wearing I Don't Even Know
Dear bitch who better have RiRi's money, please give it to her already so she can buy a real damn outfit. Her Tidal check hasn't come in yet, obviously.
RiRi left some event at Opening Ceremony in NYC yesterday looking like a hobo hooker who's always ready for a rainstorm. That mess of an outfit looks like a fashion interpretation of a Kanye rant. None of it makes sense. That outfit probably costs more than a trip to Disneyland for a family of 4 (and that costs approximately $13,000 and a healthy kidney), but if you really want that wreck on your body, you can easily get the look for less!
Go to the section of a park where all the old men play chess while eating ice cream. At least 60% of those old men will be wearing a hat like the one RiRi's wearing. Pick out the old man you can outrun, snatch his hat off of his head and immediately run your ass to the nearest thrift store. Go to the 90s section and find a bikini top and jeans. Cut the jeans into the shape of granny panties and accessorize them with the button-down shirt one of your one-night Tinder tricks left at your apartment. Now head to one of those restaurants with paper tablecloths for the kids to draw on with crayons. When those brats aren't looking, yank that tablecloth off the table and wear it as a jacket. To finish off the look, buy a scrub brush at the dollar store, cut the black bristles off and glue that shit onto your forehead. Voila! Instant rainy day hobo hooker glamour!

Julianne Moore Got Fired From A Turkish Tourism Campaign Because They Thought Her Acting Sucked
Meanwhile, Julianne Moore is like "Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my ACADEMY AWARD." According to the Hürriyet Daily News (via New York Daily News), Julianne Moore was recently dropped as the face of a Turkish tourism campaign and in a twist of irony, the official reason written on her pink slip was "poor acting".
Julianne was hired to appear in a promotional tourism video as part of a campaign called "Home Of", which would feature Julianne talking about childhood trips to Turkey with her family. It was supposedly shot last year in Los Angeles (apparently some parts of LA look like Istanbul?) and was set to air in Turkey in February of 2014. The only problem was the people at Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Toursim saw it, they weren't happy with her performance and wanted her to re-shoot it. But when they called up Julianne, she was all "Sorry Turkey, Julianne Moore doesn't do re-shoots". That's when Turkey shitcanned the whole thing and blamed it on Julianne Moore's "poor acting".
Apparently, Turkey's beef (I'll show myself out) with Julianne might have started way before they began filming. The Hürriyet Daily News says that when Julianne was chosen as the face of the "Home Of" campaign, many people pulled a Michael Bluth-style "Her?" because she was perceived as having a "depressive persona." Wait, they do know Julianne Moore and Laura Brown from The Hours aren't the same person, right?
The company who filmed Julianne Moore's tourism video hasn't said what kind of re-shoots needed to happen, but I'm sure they could have just subbed in some clips of Nancy Donovan from 30 Rock and Maggie from Boogie Nights. Sure, the accents would be all over the place, but no one is going to notice if they're too busy wondering "No really…why is Julianne Moore trying to sell me on a trip to Turkey?"
Michael Jackson Prank Called Russell Crowe For Three Years
Either Russell Crowe is telling the truth and he's a useless shit for not recording those golden nuggets to later gift the world with or bitch did a lot of LSD.
The bearded Kiwi walrus did an interview with The Guardian to promote his directorial debut The Water Diviner and while talking to them about stuff, he told them that Michael Jackson used to prank call him for years. Russell Crowe punching the air while screaming "Crikey, he got me again!" after MJ crank called him is something I thought only existed in a fever dream.
"For two or three fucking years," he says. "I never met him, never shook his hand, but he found out the name I stayed in hotels under, so it didn't matter where I was, he'd ring up do this kind of thing, like you did when you were 10, you know. 'Is Mr Wall there? Is Mrs Wall there? Are there any Walls there? Then what's holding the roof up? Ha ha.' You're supposed to grow out of doing that, right?"
How did Michael Jackson find out what hotel Russell Crowe was staying at? (Possible answer: Detective La Toya can track down anyone!) If Russell was so annoyed by Michael Jackson's prank calling, why didn't he just check in with a different fake name? (Possible answer: Because Russell Crowe is in dim in the brains and was outsmarted by MJ over and over again!) How did Russell Crowe know it was Michael Jackson? (Possible answer: Because he'd always hear a bunch of giggling boys in the background.) Well, I guess when you're Michael Jackson and the Jesus Juice is flowing during a slumber party at Neverland, you have fun by prank calling Russell Crowe. I can't wait to hear other random stories about how MJ toilet papered Jean-Claude Van Damme's house and poured Rice Krispies all over Anne Archer's front lawn.
And this explains why Russell Crowe threw that hotel desk phone.
Here's Russell with Olga Kurylenko at a photo call for The Water Diviner in Madrid the other day.

Jenny McCarthy And Donnie Wahlberg Claim The View Wanted To Take Her Back
Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg, seen above looking like an auto show girl-turned-aspiring pop singer and her manager/boyfriend/Hard Rock Cafe enthuriast, recently made an appearance on Howard Stern's SiriuXM radio show, and of course they started talking about Jenny's old job at The View. Since the most contagious virus you can catch from having unprotected sex with Jenny McCarthy is bullshititis, Donnie burped up some "Sure, Jan" story about how shortly after Rosie O'Donnell filed her walking papers, The View called up his wife and begged her to come back.
"She's very gracious about The View, and I will say, I told her the day that she left, I said, 'They're gonna ask you back within six months.' And she won't say it, but they did. Not officially, but they did."
That's when Jenny elaborated on Donnie's story by adding:
"One of the producers called and said, would I ever consider it? And I said, 'No, thank you' because I couldn't be me! You know — you called it from the start. I couldn't be myself."
Remember from 3 seconds ago that thing Donnie said about Jenny being very gracious about The View? I guess Donnie's definition of gracious includes the words "acting like a shady bitch", because when asked about the future of The View, Jenny ripped the following stinky poo whisper in their direction:
"They might try one more year and then I think the Titanic might go down."
I guess that would make Jenny one of the rats who jumped off the ship? No! That doesn't make any sense – the rats chose to jump, whereas Jenny McCarthy was pretty much pushed. It's also highly offensive to rats. I'm sorry Remy!
A Strange Thing Happened Yesterday…
Nicki Minaj, Madge, Kanye, Jay-Z, Chris Martin's face, Jack White and Beyonce were all on the same stage together and the earth beneath them didn't collapse from the weight of their massive, throbbing egos. Basement Baby and the rejected children of Destiny were probably under the stage, holding it up to make sure that didn't happen.
If you went to urgent care last night with a pulled neck muscle, then I'm guessing you pulled that neck muscle from shaking your head back and forth while watching the ridiculously awkward press conference for Tidal, a revolutionary new music streaming service that's like Spotify except shittier and more expensive. Seen above seconds before they pulled their empty pockets out to show all of us how broke they are, RiRi, Nicki, Madge, DeadMau5, Kanye, Jay-Z and many, many others gathered together
for an Illuminati board meeting at a press conference to announce that they want more of your money. They're all sick of barely scraping their rent money together from singing on street corners for loose change. So they joined forces to try to take out Spotify and make more cash while doing so.
People Have Discovered Some Of Trevor Noah's Old Tweets And They're Not Happy (UPDATE)
Because we live in a time where every cringeworthy moment of our lives will live on forever thanks to the internet (example: that SANS FARDS picture of Katy Perry, a video of myself deep-throating a Choco Taco that won't disappear no matter how hard I pray), it was only a matter of time before someone found something dirty on the new host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. The New York Times says that shortly after he was named Jon Stewart's successor yesterday, people who had no idea who Trevor Noah was decided to get a better idea of the new Daily Show host by reading some of his stuff on Twitter. Unfortunately, some of his tweets were not met with LOLs, and now people are pissed.
Most of them are from when he first started tweeting back in 2009, so of course they're as regrettable as you can expect from a not-yet-famous person would be:

Is it considered best practice to have multiple forms in an HTML document when each of those forms performs a different action? Here's what I'm doing: I am making a search page that will query my database with several differently formulated SQL queries. This page has three types of search, and each type of search has a simple and an advanced mode. At present, I use javascript to hide all of the forms except the one that is active, and I keep each mode of a search separate from each other in their own forms because I handle them differently. When the search button is clicked, the results of the search will be posted on the same page below the search forms.
So, is it generally considered to be best practice that one would do this with multiple forms (which makes it easier and more modular in it's structure) or should I simply hide and un-hide elements inside of one complex form?

The court then remanded the case to the lower court with instructions to enter a judgment in favor of Lubecore on all claims.Trade dress refers to a product's physical appearance. The court observed that while the shape of the Lubecore and Groeneveld pumps is similar, stark differences in labeling, color, and other aspects of the design mean there is "no reasonable likelihood" that consumers of automated lubrication systems would confuse the companies' products. Indeed, the court said, Groeneveld admitted it had no evidence of actual confusion on the part of any customer or prospective customer.
