An amazing video I saw this morning. In Europe, you can commonly find cars which get 50-70+ mpg with diesel engines. These are not allowed to be sold or imported into the US. Some of the assembly is even done here in the US, according to this video, and I have no reason to doubt that. Why is it not allowed here in the US? Simply put, the reason is taxes. Fuel taxes are the biggest source of paying for road maintenance, and if people got much better mileage with their vehicles, tax revenue would go down dramatically.
Unless this story is bogus, we all need to scream about this. The government keeps insisting manufacturers make cars which get increasingly better mileage. But they already do, and they're not being allowed to sell them in the US. It's unfair! We already have planned obsolescence when it comes to road maintenance. Now we have to forgo better mileage just because politicians don't want to upset people by talking about new forms of taxation. Like that would be something new for them.
Video here.

While they do have some vehicle that get far better mileage than models sold in the US, some of the difference could also be due to the use of Imperial Gallons rather than US gallons or litres. An Imperial Gallon will post MPG considerably higher than a US gallon

Nonsense. We're making steady progress in getting more miles per gallon. The challenges are difficult because we have to balance safety, fuel efficiency, emissions and convenience and that's not easy to do.

Possibly the new CAFE standards have escaped your attention?
According to Wikepedia: On December 19, 2007, President George W. Bush sign[ed] the Energy Independence and Security Act, which set a goal for the national fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2020. This would increase the fuel economy standards by 40 percent and save the United States billions of gallons of fuel.
This bill was signed due to the pressures exerted by the Democratic-controlled Congress and overwhelming support by the American electorate.
And have "they" had the technology for a long time? Sorry, most of the advances we're seeing are the result of advances in metallurgy, electronics and safety technologies. American cars and trucks have never been so close to cutting-edge development.
It is a completely false assumption that the government wants us to drive more miles because they will get more revenue. First of all, the federal revenue from the sale of fuel has not been increased for many years and the tax percentage of the total price of fuel has been declining over the years while the cost of maintaining our roads has increased. Generally, the LESS we drive, the less the roads will need maintaining so the government actually saves when we drive less. Moreover, when we drive less, we have to import less oil and that helps keep our negative balance of trade down. Lowering the negative balance of trade has a huge impact on the state of our economy. Obviously, too, when people drive less, auto emissions also decrease.
One would do well to expand one's news gathering. Fox News is more of a propaganda outlet than an objective news organization.

Youn are right. Honda Civic Deisel sold in the UK with a 1.6L Diesel engine gets about 78 mpg imperial which converts to about 65 mpg US. The technology is there already for better fuel economy and yes it's all about taxes and revenue from the sale of gas that the politicians don't allow those engines/vehicles to be sold in the US as it would cost a huge economic impact and lost of revenue..

Now are they talking Imperial gallons or U.S. gallons?
Whats the difference?
IMPGs figures are about 25% higher than U.S.MPGs.
No its not bogus. VWs in the U.S. with the diesel engine have no problem getting over 40mpg in factory configuration.
If you calculate that milage using imperial gallons now all of a sudden you now have a 50mpg car and you have done nothing but measure the fuel volume differently.

No miracles here. It's a tiny diesel engine that gets diesel engine mileage. It generates just over 100 hp so it wouldn't sell in any serious numbers to our marketplace.
We have years to go and many gas price hikes to swallow before these tiny engines get any buy in on this continent.

One poster writes: The guy in the video is correct that there is such a thing as a blue motion TDI and that in it's 3 configurations all of them get over 70 MPG highway. He is also correct that this engine is not available in the US.
We do not know why this engine is not available in the US, I do not really care myself but if you are interested enough maybe you should go ask your local VW dealer about it.
First there is a substantial difference in price, about $2200 between a VW like the Passat SE as opposed to th Passat SE with a TDI Clean Diesel as one example. That's enough that it will take a long time to recoup the extra expenditure in gas savings especially given the large differential in price between diesel and gasoline. Around my town, diesels is about 60+ cents over gasoline. Moreover, though I couldn't find the maintenance schedule on the TDI Clean Diesel, my guess is that the maintenance cost may be higher because of the more complex emissions system.
Secondly, it is a capital mistake to look at fuel efficiency as a basis for a purchase decision. It is far better to look at the overall cost per mile and in most cases, I suspect the gasser will be better than the diesel.
Third, while the European diesel mentioned above may get 70 MPG, are we sure that figure is NOT derived from an Imperial gallon? An Imperial gallon is about 20% more than a US gallon.
Fourth, as a matter of public policy, we care more about lower emissions than we do fuel efficiency. This is wise because dirty air is a threat to public health and the cleaner the air, the less pressure on our health care system. The cleaner the engine, the more the driver confines the cost of operation to him/herself.

This will be done. It is probable that the car will not derive all its fuel from gasoline. Hybrids will probably see continuing improvements in battery technology and gasoline will be used less and less frequently to power the car. The Ford Fusion is a case in point.

Why would automakers import vehicles or build vehicles in North America that achieve higher MPG when North American consumers continue to buy big gas-guzzling SUVs, trucks, etc... There is no incentive to do so.
As for the argument that US vehicles are heavier because they provide more protection, that is total bogus. European cars today are among the safest in the world. After all, who pioneered seat-belts, airbags, and ABS for example? Exactly, European manufacturer Volvo. So please come up with a better argument for heavier vehicles than that bogus claim.
North Americans love their gas-suckers. Then they gripe about high fueling costs. Can't have your cake and eat it too folks.

There is more to a car than fuel efficiency. There's also safety. Much of the additional weight of American cars is due to providing protection for people in a crash. Given the attention span and skill level of American drivers, this is a wise move.
I suspect it would be a very serious mistake to assume that European cars would sell well over here. The driving environment of Europe is much different than our own. It would be very interesting to see what a European would drive over here where the distances between points is usually much greater and the where the speeds on some of our highways would severely challenge many of the leading fuel efficiency European cars.

1. It would be nice if youtube documentarians learned to use horizontal mode.
2. Plug-in hybrids(i.e. Toyota) and electrics are available in the U.S.
3. The talker glosses over the amount or type of pollution per gallon
allowed in Europe vs here.
4. The current administration managed to do what previous admins from Bush
to Clinton to Bush have either opposed or failed to accomplish i.e.
doubling CAFE standard.
5. People should worry more about so called open road toll collection than
gas taxes. With gas taxes anyone who uses gas pays. Cheating is already
rampant at Fastlane barriers. Some states are already pushing through
gas tax increases.
6. The no gas electric car problem is easily solved by requiring an annual
usage fee for registration.

Other factors about gas mileage is the fact our cars are getting heavier all the time from both increased safety standards and more EPA regulations.
I once owned a 87 Plymouth which weighed less than 2000 pounds and got 35 mpg on highway without even trying.
Now I own a 2012 Dodge Avenger that weighs about 3,400 pounds and gets about 30 MPG.
A diesel in this car would probably boost mpg to about 50 mpg.

The story is either wrong or bogus. It is also the opinion of one person who has not looked at the larger picture.
Have you looked at the CAFE schedule for the coming years? Ask the OEMs whether the government is frustrating efforts to get more MPG out of their cars.
The bottom line is that the government does not tax fuel to make a profit. They simply tax to try to cover the costs of maintaining the roads. The federal fuel tax has not been raised since 1993 and at this time is 18.4 per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel. The revenues don't come close to covering the total cost of maintaining the US highway system.
According to an article in Wikipedia: The federal gas tax has experienced a cumulative loss in purchasing power of 33 percent since 1993. An increase of 10¢/gal would bring approximately $20 billion of annual revenue into the Highway Trust Fund.
At present, revenues from the the fuel tax cover about 56% of maintenance costs.

Let's all chip in and send the person who created this video a fire extinguisher so he can put out the fire on his pants.
Next time BILL100, do a little checking first because when a person start spouting off like this guy did, you should have a VERY BIG reason to doubt the comments.

It all comes down to tax money, more MPG per car means less tax per gallon sold because they are more efficient it comes down to politics and money, which surely huts the American customer.

No, unless you mean a flash function to alert motorists and others. Is it a Town and Country? They often have a headlamp control module that enable lights to come on as the day darkens and when exiting your vehicle in your driveway during darkness to let you get in the house. If the module fails, it is difficult to predict which erratic malfunctions might appear.

If the headlamps were functioning normally before the surgery, they should work fine now. If the malfunction is ocurring post-splicing, I doubt it is the multifunction swich, but you are having a lot of trouble since you spliced as I said you would. How is the inoperative right turn signal coming along? Do not neglect the possibility that you might have a burned out bulb.

Acute Renal Failure
(Kidney Failure)
DefinitionAcute renal failure is the sudden loss of kidney function. Kidneys clean waste from the blood and manage the balance of fluid in the body.
|Anatomy of the Kidney
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
CausesThere are many possible causes of sudden kidney failure because there are three anatomical sites for problems to occur in the renal system: before the blood enters the kidneys, within the kidneys, and after the urine is processed by the kidneys and enters the ureters. Sudden kidney failure can result from problems with blood flow to the kidney, which can be caused by acute renal artery obstruction, blood loss, or dehydration. It can also result from conditions such as infections that interfere with the work of the kidney. The most common cause of sudden kidney failure occurs inside the kidney. Acute tubular necrosis is the death of the cells inside the kidney that act as the blood's filter. These cells die when they are deprived of oxygen. This can be due to surgical complications, inflammatory processes, blood clots, or the side effects of certain medicines. Physical problems, such as swollen prostate glands or kidney stones can also cause sudden kidney failure.
Risk FactorsFactors that may increase your chance of developing acute renal failure include:
- Having a chronic disease, such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, liver disease, or high blood pressure
- Increased age
- Dehydration
- Bleeding, especially from the gastrointestinal tract
- Certain medications and illegal drugs
- Complications following surgeries or care in an intensive care unit (ICU)
- Overuse of certain over-the-counter painkillers known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and ketoprofen
- Use of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
- Obstructive causes such as benign prostatic hypertrophy and bladder tumor
SymptomsMany people do not have any symptoms, but symptoms can include the following:
- Less frequent urination
- Swelling throughout the body
- Dark-colored urine
- Tiredness
- Confusion
- Nausea or vomiting
- Muscle weakness or muscle cramps
- No appetite
- Metallic taste
- In severe cases, coma or seizures
DiagnosisYou will be referred to a kidney specialist (nephrologist) for diagnosis and treatment. Your doctors will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will ask about any medications you are taking.Your bodily fluids will be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
TreatmentThe treatment for acute renal failure will depend on the exact cause and severity. Your doctor may recommend any of the following:
- Undergoing dialysis
- Treating obstruction with a catheter or stent
- Maintaining adequate blood volume with fluids given by IV
- Stopping medications or drugs that caused the loss of function
- Treating related problems, such as kidney stones or infections
- Incorporating a diet with limited protein intake, supervised by a physician
- Renal transplant
PreventionTo help reduce your chance of acute kidney failure, take the following steps:
- Get a physical every year that includes a urine test to monitor your kidney health.
- Drink water and other fluids to stay hydrated.
- Don't take drugs or other substances that can damage your kidneys. Check with your doctor to find out about the potential side effects of any medications you are taking.
- People at risk for chronic kidney disease should get more frequent check-ups at their doctor's office.

I stayed a week at the house at Kalihiway Beach, and wow! It is still fresh on my mind, and I wish I'd be back there! :-)
The three bedroom house is large, clean and comfy. Every bedroom has its own toilet. One of the bedrooms has its own shower. Two of the bedrooms share one large bathroom with a spectacular shower on top of a jacuzzi from which you can see the trees through the windows as you're taking a shower (make sure you look up, and you have the feeling as if you're in the middle of the tropical rain forest) :-)
There is Internet access, but only a cable model (no wifi). I knew this beforehand, and I brought my own Wifi router, since there were five of us. I attached my wifi router to the cable modem and had to power-cycle it, but then it worked like a charm. There seems to be cable TV but I didn't use it. The house also has a carport downstairs with boogie boards, a cooler and beach chairs. The kitchen is in a good state and has pretty much everything that you might need.
The location: the house is on the North side of the island. I think it's the prettiest part of the island especially when you compare it to the hustle & bustle of the more touristic parts. But being in the North also has its disadvantages, especially when it comes to (grocery) shopping. There's a Foodland close by in Princeville, but it's pricey! My advice is to hit one of the big supermarkets in Lihue or Kapaa if you plan to self-cater and only buy at the Princeville Foodland in emergencies (and when you do, get a member card, it saves you quite a bit).
The house is right next to Kalihiwai Beach, BUT you need to cross a small river first. Look at (website hidden) maps and you'll see what I mean. If you drive to the beach, it actually will take you a while, even though it's just a few feet as the crow flies, it is more than a mile driving to the beach (and you might get stuck in a traffic jam because of roadworks) because you have to go all the way around. The quicker way is just to wade across the river (although it's probably 4 feet deep). In this case the boogie boards come in very handy because you can use them to transport your (dry) items. But Kalihiwai beach isn't the nicest beach around -people go there to let their dogs roam around. Better to head to Hanalei beach, or if you're walking you could head to Anini beach which is 10-15 minutes by foot. Keep this in mind when considering the property.
I tried stand-up paddling (you'll need to rent a board) for the first time - just in front of the house there is Kalihiwai river to paddle up - spectacular! Otherwise, this place is fantastic!

Messages of judgment in an age of tolerance are about as welcome as a thunderstorm at a picnic.-
cenusa de miercurea asta
Traditional, prin perceptia raspandita in si inafara grupului de crestini practicanti, postul este asociat unei perioade de renuntare(la sine nu doar la mancare), de reflectie asupra spiritului si reinnoire launtric-duhovniceasca. Fiind asociat altor practici sprituale precum rugaciunea si pocainta, postul este ingredientul normal inr-un ritm al vietii crestine.
Pe parcursul ultimelor decade perioada prelungita de post a depasit granitele cultice traditionale –mediile catolic, ortodox, lutheran sau presbiterian – si a fost promovat de varii alte biserici crestine ca un moment important al "nevoii de Christos".
Postul este un timp de celebrare desi asocierea pare defazata. Ne-am obisnuit sa gandim "celebrarea" doar o manifestare zgomotos-dansanta a vre-unei bucurii dar celebrarea poate oferi cadrul de rememorare a sacrificiului lui Christos de la Cruce ce aduce revigorare spirituala in viata fiecarui om credincios.
In pofida unor nelamuriri ale celor din afara fenomenului crestin – ce sustin cum o moarte asociata unei executii sangeroase poate aduce bucurie – crucea lui Christos ramane in plin secol 21 ceea ce Apostolul Pavel prin DuhuL Sfant a spus "puterea si intelepciunea lui Dumenezeu" – 1 Corinteni 1.23-24.
Si cum primavara se simte afara prin orice izbucnire de verde desupra pamantului cenusiu, la fel reimprospatarea vietii spirituale este legata de meditatia la persoana lui Christos, crucificarea si invierea Sa.
Postul este un timp solem de reflectie si adorare; sa nu-l irosim pe diete.
si Dumnezeu a creat…creionul
Since only God can make a tree, I insist that only God could make me. Man can no more direct these millions of know-hows to bring me into being than he can put molecules together to create a tree. – Leonard Read

Trade Your Shades!
A Moody Publishers initiative:
The month of February hasn't been about romance; it has been about sex. Fifty Shades of Grey has dominated headlines in both Christian and secular media. Many pastors and Christian leaders have been shocked to learn that Christian women are just as likely to be engaged in Fifty Shades as women of no faith. What does this tell us about Christian women?
For starters, Christian women are sexual. This may seem like an obvious statement, but it is one that has been largely ignored by the church. Women have sexual desires, longings, temptations, and wounds that are often concealed underneath a Sunday school smile. I believe many are flocking to Fifty Shades because it seems to validate their sexuality.
This movement also shows us that Christian women are very confused. My job at Authentic Intimacy is to teach women about God's design for sex. Everywhere I go, I get heartfelt and pain-filled questions about porn, sexual abuse, homosexuality, lack of sexual desire, cohabitation, and what's ok in the bedroom. In their confusion, women are very easily deceived by the latest counterfeit.
Paul told Timothy that in the end days, women would be easily "swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth" (2 Tim. 3:7). Many women who love God have no practical theology of sex. Even if they make good decisions for themselves, they cannot articulate the "why" to their children and friends.
The Lordship of Christ means that He is Lord in every area of life, even the most intimate. Therefore, we are committed to discipling women in their sexuality. Why? So that "the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in faith and in the knowledge of God and become mature" (Eph. 4:12-13). Will you join us?
Help women in your ministry discover God's true design for sexuality. For the rest of this month Trade Your Shades!
Unbroken: The Power of Forgiveness
Templeton Foundation's presentation about Louis Zamperini
I just got a letter from Kevin Costner
BLACK OR WHITE – Letter to Faith Leaders
Dear Friend,
I want to share with you a very special film, BLACK OR WHITE, that is close to my heart. It has been exciting to watch this film spark a variety of conversations in communities across the country. Make no mistake, as in life, BLACK OR WHITE has an edge to it. But it is a story that portrays an honest and authentic bite of life in the non-politically correct way in which we need to have this conversation in order to move our country and society forward. I believe this film will appeal to people of faith—and anyone concerned with race relations and the state of the family in America today.
In BLACK OR WHITE I play a man who loses both his daughter and wife in unexpected tragedies and becomes the guardian of his biracial granddaughter. My friend Octavia Spencer plays the paternal grandmother who initiates a custody battle that brings prejudices and substance abuse issues to the surface. It's a riveting story that I feel can offer some useful insights and raise some important questions in this time of racial discord in our culture. The movie features many wonderful performances and opens in theaters across the country on January 30th.
BLACK OR WHITE relates positive messages about the true meaning of "family" and what it looks like, about being there for your children, about self-sacrifice and forgiveness. It speaks to "the Cross" in our lives and how we must rely on God's grace rather than alcohol or drugs. For me, BLACK OR WHITE is more than just a movie; it's an emotional meditation on character, empathy and selfcontrol. The turbulent relationships between the characters vying for custody of the child speak to the difficulties of living a life of Christian charity, humility and peace. Given recent events in New York City, Ferguson, Missouri, and around the country, I hope my film can be a bridge-building vehicle to help people explore the complicated issues at the heart of the film. The film shows how we fall and then get back up again. It urges us to stay strong and maintain hope in face of adversity, because God always gives us a new day.
View the movie trailer here
I would like to invite you and your key staff to a special preview screening and would be grateful for your support of my film.
Sincerely, Kevin Costner
Even is kind a general one, Kevin's invitation is worth to be considered.
Here is a Discussion Guide about a few themes embedded into the movie. – BLACKORWHITE_Guide
i-au zis sa o lase mai moale cu Isus in public si…
raspunsul ei i-a redus la tacere pe toti cei ce nu vor sa auda ca Isus schimba vietile oamenilor si astazi – chiar a celor ce sunt in industria divertismentului (spre disperarea si a fundamentalistilor pocaiti ce ar vrea foc si pucioasa peste ei)
Noua ei piesa, "Something In The Water" a starnit ceva controverse prin referintele explicite la ceea ce Isus Christos a facut.
In fata solicitarii de a nu promova credinta crestina prin piese ei Carrie Underwood a raspuns: "I'm not the first person to sing about God, Jesus, faith or any of that, and I won't be the last. And it won't be the last for me, either. If you don't like it, change the channel." – "Nu sunt prima si nici ultima persoana ce canta despre Isus Christos. Si nu va fi nicidecum ultima data pentru mine. Daca nu iti place, schimba canalul".
Iata-o in clipul urmator interpretand aceasta piesa la una din galele muzicii country :
Daca nu poti sa intelegi versurile piesei iata cateva:
He said, "I've been where you've been before. Down every hallway's a slamming door. No way out, no one to come and save me. Wasting a life that the Good Lord gave me. Then somebody said what I'm saying to you, Opened my eyes and told me the truth." They said, "Just a little faith, it'll all get better." So I followed that preacher man down to the river and now I'm changed And now I'm stronger There must've been something in the water Oh, there must've been something in the water
crestini de tip Braille?
Circuland pe o vreme cetoasa m-am gandit la cel ce a avut o contributie majora la ajutorarea persoanelor nevazatoare – Louis Braille. A fi fi posbila o metoda Braille de condus masina? Sunt ceva idei dar…mai bine nu. Cum ar fi sa existe atunci crestini de tip Braille?
Louis Braille a fost un om ce nu a avut doar dorinta de a isi imbunatati conditia sa fizica (si eventual cunostinele) ci de a-si crea si consolida o cariera, de a deprinde o meserie creativa rezultand in cele din urma un impact decisiv asupra a milioane de oameni. Nascut la inceputul lui 1809 Loius ramne orb la varsta de 5 ani in urma unui accident. In aceasta conditie la nivelul acelui timp el se situa in pozitia celor ce nu mai aveau prea multe asteptari sau sanse de la viata. Cei mai multi nevazatori deveneau saraci si ajungeau sa isi petreaca existenta cersind pe strada.
Cand implineste 10 ani are ocazia de a se inscrie la "Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles" din Paris, prima scoala pentru tineri nevazatori din lume. Acolo intra in contact cu o metoda de comunicare pe timp de razboi prin care soldatii puteau receptiona ordinele fara a le citi la lumina unei lumanari. Plecand de la acesta metoda, tanarul Braille a pefectionat-o si inlocuit-o ulterior cu un sistem mai simplu in care literele erau formate din doar 12 puncte ce erau evidentiate pe hartie, simplificand atat scrierea cat si citirea lor. El a finalizat acest proiect la varsta de 15 ani.
Este usor sa pierzi directia pe ceata; este usor sa esuezi moral din cauza atator distrageri visuale ce ne inconjoara si reclama atentia, participarea afectiva. Acestea combinate cu situatii de incercare/cercetare sau suferinta degaja o presiune ce poate inabusi dorinta noastra de a fi placuti lui Dumnezeu, de a cauta sa vezi cum Dumnezeu vede situatiile prin care treci in viata.

EMANCIPATING THE WORLD A Christian Response to Radical Islam and Fundamentalist Atheism
Christians today are engaged in a dual conflict, ultimately spiritual in nature, whose outcome will determine the shape of our societies in this century. In the West, fundamentalist atheism has replaced a biblical framework with moral relativism. From the East, radical Islam is waging jihad against the materialistic West. How should Christians respond?

How do you change suction setting on Miele Twist vacuum?
Hello, I just bought a new Miele Twist and I can't figure out how to change the suction power. The Twist comes with a rotary dial that is supposed to take care of that function but mine doesn't do anything. There is no discernalbe 'click' or transition between any of the dial's four settings and the suction power remains the same. Thinking that the vacuum was defective I had a replacement sent but same problem with the replacement.
The online vendor I purchased the vacuum from has a solid reputation so I have to assume that this quirk has to do with the vacuum's design. I've also seen many video reviews of this vacuum and interesting to note is that none of them showed the actual functionality of the rotary dial. I'm hoping someone on here who has experience with this vacuum can tell me if there might be a specific way I need to use the dial because I couldn't find anything in the manual. Or maybe you can let me know if there really no function to the dial and it's just there to look pretty. This is the only forum I could find that was discussing similar products and Miele's email seems to be down so hopefully you guys can help me before I have deal with customer service on the phone. Thanks!
Plug the vacuum cleaner in and set the dial selector to one side or the other. "Curtins" or "Smooth"? Remove the hose from the wand. Turn the vacuum cleaner on and listen to the sound of the vacuum cleaner. Feel the suction from the hose. As you are doing this, slowly turn the dial to the other side. You should notice a change in the noise volume and the feel from the suction in the hose. Continue doing this, so you can understand the sound and feel.
If you have done this and still no variation, then the vacuum is broken.
The instructions do tell the owner to turn the "suction power selector to the desired setting."
Haha, yeah I know. In any case they made returning the vacuum and getting a new one very easy and didn't charge me for return shipping. I still think this is a manufacturing problem because I don't see what a retailer could do to break the rotary dial, but they definitely should have made sure the vacuum was working before shipping out.

June Garden Views
The roses are moving into their second blooming cycle and the lilies are beginning to open. I just love how the gardens change from one month to the next. Hope you enjoy some of these garden views.
The Perfumed Path--couple smelly Double Delights on the right side of the path, plus Elle, the new Red Intuition, and Chrysler Imperial down at the end there (and another terrific smeller). Hiding behind the red bush on the left is an aromatic Valencia also.
Closer view of the far end of the Perfumed Path: Double Delight next to the yellow Black-eyed Susan plus Chrysler Imperial (the most blooms I've ever seen on this rather stingy-bloomer!). In the background, can you see all the lilies in bud? Can't wait for them to bloom!
Speaking of lilies, this one is new, and blooms earlier than I expected--the lovely Silk Road.
Silk Road Lilies paired with blue larkspur (almost finished blooming for the year) and a nice full Austin rose, Molineux.
Some more of that lucious blue larkspur, with yellow yarrow.
Earth Song and white garden phlox--in same bed as the blue larkspur.
Just starting to bloom, Strawberry Vanilla Hydrangea (the blooms are supposed to turn pink on the bottom and white on the top, but mine didn't do that last year--its first year. Hopefully this year . . . . See the Double Knock Out by the white car? And a narrow bed of roses next to my neighbor's garage (other side of driveway)?
Our Lady of Guadalupe--I'm astounded at the number of buds and blooms on the 4th year floribunda.
Oops--another non-rose pic, but I think this picture is really cool--it's my brand-new hosta Gypsy Rose. Would you like her to entertain you?
Since we are on non-roses, might as well throw in an example of the daylilies that are beginning to open.
Lest you think I strayed too far, how is this rose? I'd call Chrysler Imperial about as rosy as a rose can get!
Hope you enjoyed the garden views. : )
What a beautiful garden! Love the winding path! Your Double Delight is so pretty, makes me wish I picked one up when I saw them a couple of weeks ago in the next town over.
Your lilies and hosta look great too! Just planted some lily bulbs (first time doing bulbs) so I'm hoping to have so pretty blooms like you :)
What a lovely series of pictures! I was so happy to see your Earth Song since I ordered mine a little while ago. Your lily, Silk Road, is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, although I love the other ones too. I'm a sucker for mauve and lilac colors. Your garden is very beautiful and the mix of roses and companion plants is outstanding.
Thank you, everyone, for your compliments.
I have to admit I'm never sure which combination I most prefer: iris and roses or lilies and roses. Fortunately, they bloom at different seasons, so I don't have to make a choice. There should be lots more lily pics coming up in the next weeks.
Of course, my favorite combination is the roses and blue larkspur. I let them re-seed themselves to their heart's content!
Beautiful! The color combinations are so perfect- especially the larkspur, lily, and yellow rose. Then that last photo is the kicker! What a pretty combination- that rose's foliage looks so good with the flower and the gray foliage behind.
Your garden is amazing! I think the lilies add a nice "pop". PERFECT placement I think! Your roses are just lovely! And I like the flagstone pathway. :)

Looking for spiritual refreshment? God Pause email devotions are short, meaningful reflections on the following Sunday's lessons and gospel delivered directly to your email box. By Sunday, you'll be ready for an extra meaningful worship experience.
Our devotion writers are Luther Seminary alumni. Their reflections are a gift to you and to the church.
In Christ we have been freed from our bondage to sin. But for what have we been freed? We are freed from slavery to be children of God's household forever, Jesus says!
As slaves, we were just like household appliances, like an oven or a dishwasher. We existed to fulfill a purpose and to be used up as such. As appliance slaves, when we can no longer do the job, we might as well be dumped in the landfill.
Jesus frees us from that short, uncertain life of servitude. Jesus frees us to be a child of God's household. To be such a child is to be someone whose life is certain, who is in a beloved relationship with God, and who inherits all the benefits God has to offer now and forever! What a happy exchange!
As children of God's household we can also be free to serve others in love. Now that you've been embraced in the love of God's grace, what do you want to do for others today?
Lord God, Heavenly Father, thank you for freeing us to be your children. Help me to live into this truth, so that I may serve my neighbor in your love. Amen.
Brian MundtInterim Pastor, Cross of Hope Lutheran Church, Ramsey, Minn.
31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples;
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be made free'?"
34 Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.
35 The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever.
36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
This God Pause daily devotion is brought to you by the alumni of Luther Seminary.

'Helix': Get a First Look at Ron Moore's Syfy Drama (Exclusive Photos)
"The Killing's" Billy Campbell stars in the 13-episode drama about a team of scientists from the CDC investigating a disease outbreak.
Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore returns to the small screen with Syfy's Helix, his first series following the conclusion of prequel spinoff Caprica, and The Hollywood Reporter has the exclusive first-look at the drama.
Helix, which bypassed the traditional pilot stage and was picked up straight to series in March, centers on a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic to investigate a possible disease outbreak. There, they find themselves in a terrifying life-and-death struggle that holds the key to mankind's salvation or total annihilation.
STORY: Comic-Con: Syfy's 'Helix' Sets Key Cast
The Killing's Billy Campbell stars as CDC pathologist Dr. Alan Farragut, who first and foremost is a man of science, having dedicated his life to understanding and containing infectious diseases.
Moore will executive produce the drama alongside Lynda Obst (Contact), Steven Maeda (Lost, The X-Files) and Cameron Porsandeh, who wrote the pilot script for the Sony Pictures Television entry.
The mastermind in charge of the top-secret research happening there will be played by Hiroyuki Sanada (The Wolverine, Revenge, Lost). Walker, the estranged former wife of Campbell's character, will be played by Kyra Zagorsky, while Balleseros, the U.S. military liaison to the CDC with a dangerous agenda of his own, will be played by Mark Ghanime.

Been testing out the Nikon V1 compact mirrorless camera. This was shot at 4k raw resolution via the 30fps burst mode. The individual images were assembled, scaled down to 1920x1080 and then time remapped through Apple Motion using Optical Flow at 10%. By doing this, I was able to turn 5 seconds of footage into almost 1 minute.
This was my first attempt at using Optical Flow. I like the results (minus some funk in the trees during the last shot).
Feel free to download the Raw images that I used. These came straight from the V1 camera.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

Wasn't the reason they don't get the OVAs already covered?

It was called to my attention that episode 1 at TAN has reverted to a placeholder and it now shows the premiere as October 5 (but at the same time: 9 PM EDT / 6 PM PDT).
The original announcement on the site of the October 4 start has not been modified or removed as of shortly before I posted this.
The damage has apparently been done, as it appears the first episode appeared to be already available via one of two fansub sites I checked. (I doubt it was confused with the OVA, as it was listed separately).
Since we are well into late on Friday night in Japan, I'm guessing we may not see the fallout over this until late Sunday here in the United States.

Heh, I wonder if there will be any fallout from them posting the video before they were supposed to. I remember the last time a major site posted an episode early, there was a lot of controversy..
-edit- TAN has completely removed To Love Ru Darkness from its site. No news article, no anime page, nothing in the listings. This could be significant.

What is sad is that they were warned beforehand, acknowledged the warning, and blew it off.
Last night before the simulcast started, I posted in their forum about the simulcast time being before the premiere in Japan, and the same person that posted the announcement there stating it would start on 10/4 replied:

|If that is true, it could be Sentai in hot water then. Releasing anime episodes before the Japanese get it is something that Japanese companies don't take kindly to, so hopefully it doesn't hurt Sentais relationship with them in the futre.

Yeah, I noticed they don't even have their info page anymore. Wonder if their license was revoked, changed, or something else. It's not even a case of an accidental leak or someone delving into unsecured servers, they confidently and knowingly aired it at that time.
