Keywords: Condominium
What a great experience--easy reservation process, great unit and great location. The condo was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities of home. We had to drag our kids out on checkout day because they didn't want to leave! We'll definitely be back next year. Thanks again Denise!
We stayed here for Memorial Day in 2014 and everything was wonderful. The resort is beautiful. The owner was easy to work with. The unit was perfect for our family of 4 and could have accommodated up to 6. Its location is very convenient to the Village and to the resort pool. Access to the beach was easy using the resort tram system. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone considering a trip to the area. We hope to stay again soon.
We enjoyed our stay at the Lasata condo. It is in a good location - just around the corner to the restaurants in Baytowne Wharf. The pool is also close. There is a lovely view of the gardens from the balcony with a huge palm tree right beside you. The bathrooms are roomy and modern with a deep soaking tub in one of them.
We liked having wi-fi provided and the washer/dryer combo in the unit was very convenient. Diane was very nice & helpful and I would recommend this condo to anyone who wants to stay on the bayside of Sandestin. We had the option of riding the shuttle to the beach but chose to drive because we tend to take lots of stuff with us. It's a fun place to stay.
Our family just returned from Sandestin and absolutely loved it. The condo was as described and very clean with plenty of room for our family of four. We enjoyed the pool, short drive to the beach, and short walk to the village in the evenings. The underground parking was great as well since the public parking lots would fill up at times due to people visiting the village. Diane was extremely easy to deal with and responded promptly to any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend this condo if planning on staying in the village.
This unit was very clean and nicely decorated. The owner was very nice and easy to work with. We will
Definetly be looking to lease this unit again!
Love the condo! Went down for a work conference and took my sister and her family with me. We had two small children. The condo with den was perfect for us. Walking to dinner was so convenient. The tram to the beach was also nice. Enjoyed every aspect of our stay!!
My wife and our 3 young children enjoyed a weeks stay at Diane's Lasata Condo at Sandestin! The condo was everything as described and in the pictures. The underground parking below the condo was very convenient. We loved the easy access to the beautiful pool and the Village of Baytowne. There are so many things for young children and the adults at Baytowne you won't be disappointed. We look forward to returning soon!

I know my baby is already headed to nicu. My midwife says it's to monitor the baby concerning the avsd and the cardiologist says it's to monitor for any pulmonary hypertension related to ds. I was just wondering what your experience is? TIA!!!!!
How long was your baby is nicu for after birth?
Posted 02/14/2013
Baby guy is 1 week old today. He was full term, and a surprise diagnosis. Thankfully, he's pretty healthy. No NICU time - we were released 48 hours after birth. (And that due only to me bing GBS+ and no time for antibiotics)
Of course, its early, and there is serious concern with his left eye (cataracts or retinoblastoma). So, we may end up there yet ;(. Fingers are crossed for cataracts!

Former Iran lawmakers offer nuclear compromise
Published on Jan 25, 2013 5:56 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Exiled former Iranian lawmakers on Thursday proposed a compromise to avert conflict over Teheran's nuclear program, calling for an end to sensitive uranium enrichment and an easing of United States-led sanctions.
In a letter sent to US President Barack Obama, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini and the European Union, the seven ex-MPs said that a solution to the crisis was possible if all sides sought a "win-win" outcome.
The former lawmakers, who support greater freedoms inside Iran, proposed that the clerical regime halt enrichment of uranium of fissile purities of 20 perc ent, a level that could be used for a nuclear bomb if further enriched.
Iran would put its 20 per cent stockpile under monitoring of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, which would carry out inspections of the nuclear programme.

Scramble City REVISITED!!!
Monday, March 17th, 2003 10:27PM CSTCategories: Cartoon News, Site News
Posted by: Seibertron Views: 42,784
Scramble City (1986, Japan) is a half-hour original animated video (OAV) that bridged the transition from the "contemporary" era of "Fight! Super Robot Life Transformers" to the year 2006. It was made by combining original animated footage with existing American cartoon clips into one fight-filled festival. The large Gestalts (Superion, Menasor, Bruticus, Devastator, and Defensor) played leading roles, while Trypticon, Ultra Magnus, and Metroplex make brief appearances. The name comes from the story´s premise of "scramble power." The Gestalts could rearrange their limbs (swapping an arm for a leg, for instance) to gain advantage in battle. Check out the ALL NEW Scramble City Revisited screen capture gallery here. This screen capture gallery has been left intact - and includes the recap images from other G1 episodes as well as the new animation.

Blog » Champ who nearly took his own life because of bullies now looks forward to bigger foes
NEW YORK CITY – For somebody criticized for not picking up someone his own size, it's shocking to know that Nonito Donaire Jr. was bullied as a kid, to the point of near-suicide.
He dropped that bombshell during a courtesy call to consul general Mario de Leon Jr., at the Philippine consulate here Wednesday.
"I wasn't blessed physically. I had asthma and was always sickly," he told the group of NY-based journalists and consul officials. "I was that frail little kid who got bullied in school and would go home crying."
While waiting for the bus that would take us back to the hotel, he intimated that he even contemplated taking his own life because of that.
"Yeah, even when I got here (United States). I felt so worthless and I can't find reason to live," he said. "I would definitely champion that cause (anti-bullying) because I feel for these kids who have to endure these things. Kids can be so cruel because they don't realize that they're hurting a fellow kid.
"They thought it was a way to feel good about themselves, but that's wrong. It's so sad young people think of taking their own lives because of bullying. I understand them because I've been through it."
Count that as another advocacy for Donaire, who will wear a pink-tipped glove to his Oct. 22 title fight against Omar Narvaez in support of breast cancer awareness.
But going back, that painful episode in his life pushed him to take up boxing at 11. However, he swore he never tried to get back at guys who made his life miserable in school.
Now that he's been picked on for beating up smaller foes atop the ring, Donaire is eager to show he could be just as mean against guys his own size.
Probably not by choice, but a lot of the guys he has knocked out cold stand a few inches shorter than him. Montiel, 5-foot-4, sent to dreamland in the second round; Sidorenko, 5-foot-4, taken out in the fourth; Marquez, five-foot-2, stopped in the 8th; and Vargas, five-foot-6, felled in the fourth.
"You see he's a big bantamweight," said Top Rank publicist Lee Samuels, explaining how Donaire got shorter guys for opponents.
Fighting Omar Narvaez, who is just 5-foot-3, doesn't help either. Yes, the Argentinian is undefeated but he will be trying his luck at 118lbs which poses far more danger for him than when he reuled for seven years the 114-lbs division.
Which is why he is now being line up at 122lbs and 126 lbs.
Experts are dreaming up a showdown against Jorge Arce, the WBO super bantam titlist. A great champion no doubt, but he's only 5-foot-4. WBC belt owner Toshiaki Nishioka could be a better match-up as the 33-year-old southpaw stands just half an inch shorter at 5-foot-6 ½.
Yet, I personally believe that to make Donaire's entry to the elite class more compelling, to prove he's more than a schoolyard bully on the ring, he should fight "that Cuban."
I'm referring to the 2004 Olympic champion and former IBF and WBA featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa. He's about the same size (5-foot-6 ½) and age (29). He is also aching to get back his pride after losing the title to Jorge Solis last year for skipping the mandatory re-weighing procedure.
Dubbed as "El Ciclon de Guantanamo," Gamboa is 21-0-0 with 16 knockouts under his belt. Just like Donaire, Gamboa is known for his power punches, which Solis himself compared to that of Manny Pacquiao.
Puerto Rican KO artist Juan Manuel Lopez (31-1-0 with 29 knockouts), or Chris John (45-0-2 with 22 stoppages) of Indonesia can also be a viable match-up.
But from where I am sitting, and to prove Donaire's not just bullying smaller, overmatched foes, Gamboa should be the next target.

The extinct Carolina parakeet was the only parrot native to the United States. It was 12 in. (30 cm) long with a yellow-green body and orange-red head. It was sought as a cage bird and for its plumage, and was killed as a destroyer of fruit and grain crops. The budgerigar and other released or escaped nonnative parrots may be found in the United States, mainly in California, Texas, and Florida, but the monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), a green and yellow bird with a pale gray forehead and breast and dark blue wing feathers, has well-established colonies in several northern and southern states.
Parakeets are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Psittaciformes, family Psittacidae.
A parakeet is a North American term for any one of a large number of unrelated small to medium sized parrot species, that generally have long-tail feathers. The term is descriptive, but does not imply an actual relationship between the different parakeets.
The Common Pet Parakeet is more correctly called the Budgerigar or budgie and comes from Australia. They are common and popular pets throughout the world. It is imprecise to call these birds parakeets because there are many different species of parakeets. All budgies are parakeets but not all parakeets are budgies.
The term Grass Parakeet or Grasskeet refers to a large number of small Australian parakeets native to grasslands such as Neophema and Princess Parrot. The Australian Rosellas are also parakeets.
The term Ringneck Parakeet refers to a number of African and Asian parakeet species of the Psittacula genus. The Alexandrine parakeet, is one of the largest parrots commonly referred as a parakeet.
In aviculture the more precise term Conure is used for small to medium sized parakeets of the genera Aratinga, Pyrrhura, and a few other generas of the tribe Arini, which are mainly endemic to South America.
Some other South American species commonly called parakeets include the Brotogeris parakeets, Monk Parakeet and Lineolated Parakeets (although Lineolated Parakeets have short tails).
Some species, especially the larger parakeets, may be referred to as 'parrot' or 'parakeet' interchangeably. For example, 'Alexandrine Parrot' and 'Alexandrine Parakeet' are used to refer to the same species.
An older orthography still sometimes encountered is paroquet.
Many of the smaller, long tailed species of Lories may be referred to as Lorikeets.
In some cases they can mimic words of their owners or other sounds.

Open Letter to a victim of Ben Stein's lying propaganda
By RICHARD DAWKINS
Added: Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:00:00 UTC
On 18th April, the day Ben Stein's infamous film was released, Michael Shermer received the following letter from a Jew (referencing a past article that Shermer had written debunking the Holocaust deniers) whose identity I shall conceal as "David J".
Now I truly understand who you atheists and darwinists really are! You people believe that it was okay for my great-grandparents to die in the Holocaust! How disgusting. Your past article about the Holocaust was just window dressing. We Jews will fight to keep people like you out of the United States!
Shermer wrote to Mr J to ask if he had by any chance just seen Expelled, and he received this reply:
Yes I have. You know, I respect you as a human being and you have done great work exposing psychics and frauds, but this is a very touchy issue that affects me and family emotionally. Our family business was affected because of Auschwitz because now, our family has nothing. It is gone. Things began to make sense once I saw the movie and I am just appalled. I have learned a lot from Ben Stein, a Jewish brother, who has opened my eyes up a bit.
It seemed to me that Ben Stein and his lying crew were more to blame than Mr J himself for his revolting letter. I therefore decided to write him a personal letter and try to explain a few things to him. It then occurred to me (indeed, Michael Shermer suggested as much) that there are probably many others like him, whose minds have been twisted in this evil way by the man Stein, and that it would be a good idea to publish the letter. I decided to wait 24 hours to see if he would reply, although I didn't expect him to. I am now publishing my letter to him, exactly as I sent it to him except that I have removed his name.
Dear Mr J
Michael Shermer forwarded me a letter from you which suggests that you have unfortunately been taken in by Ben Stein's mendacious and/or ignorant suggestion that Darwin is somehow to blame for Hitler. I hope you will not mind if I write to you and try to undo this grievous error.
1. I deeply sympathize with you for the loss of your relatives in the Holocaust. Nevertheless, I don't think that could really be said to justify the tone of your letter to Michael Shermer, who is a kind and decent man, as even you seemed to concede in your second letter to him, and the very antithesis of a Nazi sympathizer.
Now I truly understand who you atheists and darwinists really are! You people believe that it was okay for my great-grandparents to die in the Holocaust! How disgusting. Your past article about the Holocaust was just window dressing. We Jews will fight to keep people like you out of the United States!Just look at those words of yours. Probably you regret them by now. I certainly hope so, but I'll continue to write my letter to you, on the assumption that you still feel at least a part of what you wrote.
2. Hitler's horrible opinions were not all that unusual for his time, not just in Germany but throughout Europe, including my own country of Britain, by the way. What singled Hitler out was the fact that he somehow managed to come to power in one of Europe's leading nations, which was also one of the world's most technologically advanced nations. Hitler had a lot of support in Germany. His horrible bidding was done by millions of ordinary German footsoldiers, and the great majority of them were Christians. Many were Lutheran, and many (like Hitler himself) were Roman Catholic. Very few were atheists, and whatever else Hitler was he most certainly was not an atheist. It is sometimes said that Hitler only pretended to be Catholic, in order to win the Church's support for his regime. In this he was very largely successful. So, whether or not Hitler was himself a true Catholic (as he often claimed) the Church bears a heavy responsibility for what happened. And Hitler himself used religion to justify his anti-Semitism. For example, here is a typical quotation, from the end of Chapter 2 of Mein Kampf.
Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.Hitler's obscene anti-Semitism was able to hold sway in Germany because there was a deeply embedded history of anti-Semitism in Germany, and indeed in Europe generally.
3. Going further back in history, where do we think the toxic anti-Semitism of Hitler, and of the many Germans whose support gave him power, came from? You can't seriously think it came from Darwin. Anti-Semitism has been rife in Europe for many many centuries, positively encouraged by most Christian churches, including especially the two that dominate Germany. The Roman Catholic Church has notoriously persecuted Jews as "Christ-killers". While, as for the Lutherans, Martin Luther himself wrote a book called On the Jews and their Lies from which Hitler quoted. And Luther publicly said that "All Jews should be driven from Germany." By the way, do you hear an echo of those words in your own letter to Michael Shermer, "We Jews will fight to keep people like you out of the United States." Don't you feel just a twinge of shame at those truly horrible words of yours? Don't you feel that, as a Jew, you should feel especially regretful that you used those words?
4. Now, to the matter of Darwin. The first thing to say is that natural selection is a scientific theory about the way evolution works in fact. It is either true or it is not, and whether or not we like it politically or morally is irrelevant. Scientific theories are not prescriptions for how we should behave. I have many times written (for example in the first chapter of A Devil's Chaplain) that I am a passionate Darwinian when it comes to the science of how life has actually evolved, but a passionate ANTI-Darwinian when it comes to the politics of how humans ought to behave. I have several times said that a society based on Darwinian principles would be a very unpleasant society in which to live. I have several times said, starting at the beginning of my very first book, The Selfish Gene, that we should learn to understand natural selection, so that we can oppose any tendency to apply it to human politics. Darwin himself said the same thing, in various different ways. So did his great friend and champion Thomas Henry Huxley.
5. Darwinism gives NO support to racism of any kind. Quite the contrary. It is emphatically NOT about natural selection between races. It is about natural selection between individuals. It is true that the subtitle of The Origin of Species is "Or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life" but Darwin was using the word "race" in a very different sense from ours. It is totaly clear, if you read past the title to the book itself, that a "favoured race" meant something like 'that set of individuals who possess a certain favoured genetic mutation" (although Darwin would not have used that language because he did not have our modern concept of a genetic mutation).
6. There is no mention of Darwin in Mein Kampf. Not one single, solitary mention, not one mention in any of the 27 chapters of this long and tedious book. Don't you think that, if Hitler was truly influenced by Darwin, he would have given him at least one teeny weeny mention in his book? Was he, perhaps, INDIRECTLY influenced by some of Darwin's ideas, without knowing it? Only if you completely misunderstand Darwin's ideas, as some have definitely done: the so-called Social Darwinists such as Herbert Spencer and John D Rockefeller. Hitler could fairly be described as a Social Darwinist, but all modern evolutionists, almost literally without exception, have been vocal in their condemnation of Social Darwinism. This of course includes Michael Shermer and me and PZ Myers and all the other evolutionary scientists whom Ben Stein and his team tricked into taking part in his film by lying to us about their true intentions.
7. Hitler did attempt eugenic breeding of humans, and this is sometimes misrepresented as an attempt to apply Darwinian principles to humans. But this interpretation gets it historically backwards, as PZ Myers has pointed out. Darwin's great achievement was to look at the familiar practice of domestic livestock breeding by artificial selection, and realise that the same principle might apply in NATURE, thereby explaining the evolution of the whole of life: "natural selection", the "survival of the fittest". Hitler didn't apply NATURAL selection to humans. He was probably even more ignorant of natural selection than Ben Stein evidiently is. Hitler tried to apply ARTIFICIAL selection to humans, and there is nothing specifically Darwinian about artificial selection. It has been familiar to farmers, gardeners, horse trainers, dog breeders, pigeon fanciers and many others for centuries, even millennia. Everybody knew about artificial selection, and Hitler was no exception. What was unique about Darwin was his idea of NATURAL selection; and Hitler's eugenic policies had nothing to do with natural selection.
8. Mr J, you have been cruelly duped by Ben Stein and his unscrupulous colleagues. It is a wicked, evil thing they have done to you, and potentially to many others. I do not know whether they knowingly and wantonly perpetrated the falsehood that fooled you. Perhaps they genuinely and sincerely believed it, although other actions by them, which you can read about all over the Internet, persuade me that they are fully capable of deliberate and calculated deception. You are perhaps not to be blamed for swallowing the film's falsehoods, because you probably assumed that nobody would have the gall to make a whole film like that without checking their facts first. Perhaps even you will need a little more convincing that they were wrong, in which case I urge you to read it up and study the matter in detail -- something that Ben Stein and his crew manifestly and lamentably failed to do.
With my good wishes, and sympathy for the losses your family suffered in the Holocaust.
Yours sincerely

Are we wrongly telling our participants that they don't get taxed?
I'm trying to find information about taxes and volunteer paid experimental (non-clinical) studies. I work in a lab, and one of our participants told us a week ago that if a study pays (the volunteer) over a certain amount, it gets taxed. Can anyone tell me if this is true and give me an official link? We're in Philadelphia, PA, USA. I can provide any other relevant information you need. Thanks!

I was later told that the first video was from a well-known psychology experiment and was shown to subjects as a control. The experiment was about my reaction to the second video. Ever since then I've been wondering about that first video. [more inside]

Looking for help programming a flash game to do a psychology study
I'm a social psychologist looking for some advice about where to find a programmer to write what would basically be a very simple flash-type game. The game itself would require some simple user-interactiveness (e.g. selecting options), a fairly low level of graphics (maybe not stick figures, but nothing too artsy), and the ability to collect and store user data. Any suggestions? [more inside]
Reality of the Stanford Prison Experiment
Everytime I read about the Stanford Prison Experiment, I become skeptical. I can believe the kinds of things that are described happened, I just can't believe they happened so fast. Is there any evidence things didn't happen as described, that the happenings were exaggerated?

NKorea warns naval incursions could spark clash
SEOUL, South Korea North Korea warned South Korea on Thursday that a spate of incursions along their disputed sea border could spark a naval clash, in what analysts said was a threat to reinflame tensions if it doesn't get what it wants from recent conciliatory gestures.
After months of provocations including nuclear and missile tests, North Korea has recently reached out to Seoul and Washington. It freed American and South Korean detainees, lifted restrictions on border crossings and resumed reunions of families separated by the Korean War.
This week, however, it has sent mixed signals to the outside world, starting with a barrage of short-range missile tests on Monday.
Media reports said the North appeared ready to test-fire more missiles, but it offered a rare apology Wednesday for releasing a torrent of water from a dam that caused a deadly flood in South Korea.
On Thursday, the North accused South Korean warships of broaching its territory in waters off their west coast – the scene of deadly naval skirmishes in 1999 and 2002 .
"The reckless military provocations by warships of the South Korean navy have created such a serious situation that a naval clash may break out between the two sides in these waters," its navy said in a statement carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency.
Despite the harsh rhetoric, North Korean officials are to sit down with South Korean counterparts on Friday to discuss more reunions of separated families.
The North's conflicting actions appear to be the result of a "thorough calculation" by its leader, Kim Jong Il, said Yang Moo-jin, a professor at Seoul's University of North Korean Studies.
Kim's aim is to pressure South Korea to respond more actively to North Korea's outreach by showing that his government can raise tensions once again if it fails to get what it wants, Yang said.
North Korea has offered to resume key joint projects with South Korea and has proposed direct talks with the U.S., but neither initiative has yet been accepted. Washington and Seoul have also shown no signs of easing pressure on North Korea to disarm through U.N. sanctions imposed after its May nuclear test.
"It's time for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons now," South Korean President Lee Myung-bak said in a meeting with foreign diplomats in Seoul on Thursday.
South Korea's navy expressed "very serious regret" over the North's warning Thursday, saying it could spark unnecessary tension on the Korean peninsula.
The warning, however, is not expected to lead to the rancor that followed the North's nuclear test.
"They've repeated (such threats) for a long time. We don't really care about it," a Defense Ministry official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. He said South Korea would not bolster its security posture.
Yoo Ho-yeol, a professor of North Korean studies at Korea University, linked this week's naval warning and missile tests to North Korean national pride, saying its government wants to show it didn't make the goodwill gestures as a result of the U.N. sanctions.

Awkward Edna
Lost Books
"Lost Books" is a weekly series highlighting forgotten books through the prism of Tablet Magazine's and Nextbook.org's archives. So blow the dust off the cover, and begin!
Edna Ferber, born in August 1885 in Kalamazoo, Michigan, seems destined to have been an outsider. Best known as the woman behind the books behind the wildly successful films Show Boat and Giant—the latter starring screen icons Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean—remains largely obscured in literary history, though Ferber's creative output was quite vast. "Perhaps this neglect is fitting for a writer whose most memorable characters were loners and underappreciated visionaries," Mollie Wilson posited in 2007.
Another reason for Ferber's fleeting literary legacy was her complicated relationship with her own Jewishness, hints of which emerged in earlier works but was most clearly crystallized in the largely autobiographical Fanny Herself, published in 1917. "All my life I have been proud of being a Jew," Wilson quoted Ferber as having once written. "But I have felt that one should definitely not brag about it." Her almost manipulatively tactful approach to being Jewish—she implied that Jews should embrace, and exude, the more advantageous elements of their stereotypes—belies an early 20th-century American cultural reticence to draw attention to one's heritage. "For some reason or other one flashy, loud-talking Hebrew in a restaurant can cause more ill feeling than ten thousand of them holding a religious mass meeting in Union Square," Fanny cautions her brother in the book.
"Like Fanny Brandeis, Ferber boasted a gift for caricature that was born of her being 'set apart.' She lived up to the challenge she set forth in Fanny Herself—she embraced the 'genius, sympathy, and understanding' that were her 'birthright,' and she demanded success on her own terms," Wilson wrote. Yet it was her refusal, perhaps rooted in discomfort, to bring her religion into her fiction that ultimately cost Ferber a wide, enduring audience.

NEW YORK - OCTOBER 01: Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators is pushed by Ryan McDonagh of the New York Rangers during their preseason game on October 1, 2010 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
We know Ryan McDonagh is back in the US and we know Carl Hagelin has terminated his deal with his hometown team back in Sweden. We also know Rick Nash has had his own injury issues despite scoring at an impressive rate in Switzerland. It goes without saying that the NHL is the best league in the world when they're actually playing hockey. So why then are so many Rangers players struggling to adapt to playing in inferior leagues with inferior players? Rick Nash aside, and perhaps Hagelin – although in Sweden's second tier, don't forget – no Ranger has exactly set the world alight in Europe thus far. In one way it's hard to be overly critical. After all with little practice time, familiarisation to their clubs, their leagues' playing style and teammates and a lack of long term perspective (given the short term deals struck with clubs) there isn't a great basis for success for players heading to Europe. Again, to be fair it's not just Rangers players that have failed to make a signific...

After checking the stories, the consensus of opinion was to change the mother board. I had a tremendous help from Tom Paone at email@example.com. He also told me to change the motherboard but to make sure that the coils were totally defrosted before starting up the refrigerator after changing the board.Took off three nuts around the board at the back of the unit. Removed the input wires and you have to push in the plastic tabs holding the board in. Then just put the new board in place and push till the tabs click. Re-install the wires and put the cover back on.Really simple task,It is now a week since doing this and the unit is working perfectly. No soulds and good nights sleep. The ghost has moved on.

Rail Dusting and Dealer Response.....
I took the truck in today for a oil change and to have them look at all the little brown spots that are on my pretty white truck :smiledown:...... I told the service manager what I expected and had no issues with the results. He agreed that I had allot of rail dusting on the high/top areas of the truck. I will be taking the truck in next Tuesday morning and will have to leave it there for a couple days. They are going wet sand the truck down, buff, polish, and wax her up :smileup:...... I will take some before and after pictures of her so we all can see the spots on the hood. I will have to bring up the front chrome bug shield, grill, and bumper.....These all have some spots too....
** The detail guy in the shop said that they see this more often than NOT :smiledown:.... I walked out to another NEW 09 SILVER Ram 1500 and picked out at least 20 different spots in no more than 30 seconds :4-dontknow:...... Why in the heck do they not cover these things up before they leave the factory and get put on a Rail Cart :doh:
You would think it would save allot of money in the long run with warranty work???
Well good! Glad they are willing to work with you in getting that taken care of.
that's great that they're willing to do that work for you. Saves a day in the driveway for you, that's for sure.
YEP......and it is all documented so if I have another issue with the same area of the truck I can fall back on there work........ + I get a hopefully AWESOME exterior detail job on the truck :smileup:
why don't they claybar it? wetsanding and buffing may not be needed at all!
I have clayed a LOT of cars in my time - I was a porter at a dealership and we were contracted to clay about 300 cars one month.......yeah, 1 month. All the cars had metal shavings in them. If clay can get that out - it will get rail dust out.
Hell, my white 08 is free and clear of that stuff! clay works man. I wouldn't wetsand unless it was ABSOLUTELY needed.
Well it looks like their going to try and correct the problem . It should of been picked up by their detail guy before it was delivered to ya .
Well they would have detailed it but I got in the truck 2 hours after the truck dropped it off :) ....... I was at the dealer the day before and he did not have what I was looking for. Next day = Poof.......Truck I wanted :) ...... I did not give them time to detail it that day. I did take it back and had them clean it up real good but in 1 hour they did not have enough time to clay and wax it.
they fix it for you?

By way of damage control, Charles would be taking along only one senior member of his staff: his deputy private secretary and media Svengali, Mark Bolland. A former director of Britain's Press Complaints Commission who maintained warm relations with most of Fleet Street's most powerful editors, Bolland had been hired the year before to boost Charles's standing in the public eye. An equally important part of Bolland's job was to remake Camilla's image. "The press has been terribly cruel to her," Charles told his new spin doctor at a meeting in August 1996. 'I want you to make people see Mrs. Parker Bowles through my eyes, let them see the marvelous woman I see. Once they do, I know they will love her the way I love her." To accomplish his daunting assignment, Bolland hatched a top-secret plan that would be known behind the walls of St. James's Palace as "Operation PB" (Operation Parker Bowles).
Behind the scenes, Camilla had played a key role in implementing Operation Parker Bowles. Just three months earlier, in late May 1997, she had asked Bolland to arrange a secret lunch at Highgrove with Prime Minister Tony Blair's chief image consultant, Peter Mandelson. With Camilla, Charles, and Bolland in attendance, Mandelson mapped out a strategy for the Prince of Wales to win back the hearts and minds of his people—and for Camilla to make herself acceptable to them as Diana's replacement. Within an hour of Diana's death, Charles was on the phone with Bolland again -- this time seeking advice on how to steer public opinion his way in the wake of the tragedy. Although Diana rightly viewed St. James's as "the enemy camp" where Charles's minions actively plotted against her, Bolland was now among those urging the Prince to make a public display of respect for the dead Princess. "Diana was right about one thing," said a former junior staff member at St. James's Palace, "everyone around Prince Charles hated her. The rest of the world may have seen her as a saint, but at St. James's the Princess was thought of as scheming, selfish -- a borderline psychotic. It was considered disloyal to say anything remotely nice about her."
Now, as the royal jet took off across the English Channel, Charles phoned Camilla for the words of comfort and support he would never get from his mother. His voice broke on several occasions during the conversation, and at one point he pulled a handkerchief from his breast pocket to wipe his eyes. Once he finished the conversation by telling Camilla how much he loved her, Charles huddled with Bolland in the rear of the aircraft to hammer out a public relations strategy for the day. It was, without doubt, going to be an emotionally taxing journey for the Prince of Wales. But the two men agreed it was also going to be a pivotal time in the monarchy's history—a defining moment in which Charles might win the hearts of his countrymen and, in the process, their blessing to marry Camilla.

Used this bag for a four day camping trip in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont in February. Had to crawl out of my tent on several occasions to clear the snow off of my tent. There was frost on my bag when I woke up but the insulation didn't appear to be damp. The bag kept me warm and dry. I did wear a base layer though. It might not be the lightest or most compressible bag on the market but it is certainly warm, has a nice loft, and has the benefit of being synthetic instead of down (in case the down gets wet). The draft collars are super nice around the neck and zipper. I'm 6'4" and 200lbs. I got the long bag and it fit nicely with room to turn. I chose Mountain Hardware because of their bag sizing and the temperature rating. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.
I really like the Mountain Hardware gear and this bag is no different. It's to heavy for me when it comes to backpacking more than a short one nighter. I got it for short hikes or truck camping with our Boy Scout Troop. Also Elk hunting, let the Llamas carry all my stuff!
The day this came in the mail, it was actually minus thirty, so I slept in the backyard to really try it out. Slept like a baby. With confidence up I took it out for a 3 day, 2 night trip, with temps in the early minus 30's. No tent or bivy sack, just slept on the snow with 2 pads (with a nalgene full of hot water at my feet!), and the only bad part was crawling out in the morning. I won't lie and say at minus 32 it's all warm and cozy like florida beach camping, but it beat's staying at home, and I still have all my toes!

Majority of Bay Area residents support a transit strike ban
Over half of Bay Area residents support a ban on transit strikes, bucking the region's pro-union reputation, reveals a new Field Poll. The rest of the state is split, but more Californians still believe public transit workers should have the right to strike.
52 percent of Bay Area residents said they would support a ban on transit strikes. People in the region still believe that overall, unions do more good than harm-- but the gap between the two groups has become much closer over the years. The pollsters suggest that the two paralyzing BART strikes this year played a role in shift in opinion.
Steve Glazer, an Orinda City Councilmember and State Assembly candidate, said he got over 20,000 signatures on his petition to ban BART strikes.
This change might help State Senator Bob Huff, a Republican from the Southern California city of Diamond Bar, who is pushing for legislation that would ban transit strikes.
"If we're going to make the people of California reliant on public transit systems, then we have to make sure those systems can be relied on," Huff said in a release. "Shutting down public transit is neither safe nor fair. Police officers and firefighters aren't allowed to strike because they provide a vital public service. The same reason applies here."
California is generally seen as a pro-labor state, but the same poll reveals that could be changing. 45 percent of the state's registered voters believe unions do more harm than good; 40 percent believe unions do more good than harm. That's a reversal from a March 2011 poll where 46 percent of Californians said unions were doing more good than harm.

We've been out for two weeks now and it really depends on what you do... if you anchor out and eat on your boat the expenses are none... going to a marina will run you anywhere from .70 cents to three dollars a foot, plus electricity, eating at restaurants normal spending at stores, etc.... you can fit a cruise to any budget... but a budget is a MUST... no what you have and what you can spend, then adjust.... alway have a "kitty" for the unexpected.. We just had to do some minor repairs and thankfully met some fellow sailors who helped us... Otherwise it could have been quite expensive... Good luck!!!!

Fire Emblem: Awakening
Which skill setup is better for a streetpass team?
You can get 50 Skill by being an assassin, and if you have Rightful King (possible on Ephraim, Lucina, and Male Morgan while being an Assassin), that's 10% more chance to trigger Lethality. You can also use rallys, use a weapon that gives luck (Nidhogg), and at the current time use +2 to all stats skill, but even then... with all that, it would be around a quarter of the time until after limit break... at which point, you'd only reach around 30% trigger rate, and as stated before, it can also be stopped in various ways easily. The only reason to use Lethality is to HOPE to be annoying... you're better off using regular skills, or #$%^ like Counter+Miracle or Forged Aversa+Vengeance+Miracle.
Everything in life is a battle. Even peace itself is a battle to maintain it.
I have my Lucina as an Assassin just for the lolz factor right now. I don't like Rally stuff, so with her 52 skill and Rightful King that gives her a 23% chance for Lethality. I didn't realize that it could miss though... that seems kinda lame. It couldn't miss in the GBA games could it? Once you see them go spinny with their tiny daggers that means their opponent is boned, right?
( ^_^)/\(^_^ )
Maya high five!

This makes me realize that a team full of Counter+Miracle and melee weapons would be freaking obnoxious. Must try xD
Give me a hand, will you? I don't know where to.... grab her.~ Dart, FE7
Counter+Aegis+Pavise+Sol+Renewal Kjelle with +5 Skill since Gregor as father either Hero or General. Idk where to put limitbreaker when it come sout though.
Fredrick's Gerome can do the same thing but only he doesnt get Sol.
Lucina can do it without Counter or Sol if Sumia is parent.
Any of MU's kids can do it.
Well thats just my tank idea since I wanted to make something pretty annoying. I'll probably add a rally user to increase skill and defenses hopefully. Add a dedicated Sorcerer counter with Tomebreaker or Superior Jolt and some other stuff and that'll be my streetpass team most likely.
Dry Bones+Magikruiser FTW in MKW ^-^
Her skill cap as a Falconknight would be 50.
PSN-ponmbr, R3D member
BlueDryBones1 has the right idea. All of my Street Pass characters have +2 to all stats (which will be replaced with limit break), a majority of them have Aegis and Pavise (or at least 1 of the two, in cases like Chrom), and a combination of either Aether or Sol (Vengeance if a Sorcerer who has a forged Aversa's), with either counter, vantage, miracle, or a (weapon)fair skill for the last slot. I only have like, 2 exceptions to this build (one of which uses +2 to all stats/counter/miracle/vantage/vengeance/Aversa's) lol.
Everything in life is a battle. Even peace itself is a battle to maintain it.
From: Japanties | #010
From: MAtt5TER | #009From: savagechris | #002A) only 10%ish of it activating
People still don't know about the 40% Lethality build?
This sentence is as meaningless as you.
A good streetpass team is one made entirely of lv.20 Assassins carrying tons of amazing weapons and items that they cannot use.
Whenever I fight a Streetpass team I set rules for myself.
Save first, no MU or Chrom (No instant Game overs)
No Pair Up's (Side supports are allowed)
Brawl until one side is gone, whomever it may be. I've actually had some really good fights like this. And since my Lunatic run is on Casual, I can actually do it this way and save if I win. No need to be worried about losing characters permanently.
It's Vaike time!

Looking little-kid giddy and smiling wide, Angels All-Star phenom Mike Trout said he's excited about Tuesday, maybe as much as he was when he was growing up in Millville, N.J., and going to sleep dressed in his Little League uniform.
He woke up ready to play.
His first opening day at Angel Stadium – the World Series-wishing fans, the full-team introductions, the giant American flag stretched across the outfield and the regalia of baseball – has finally arrived.
"It will be special for me," said Trout, 21, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year who did just about everything for the Angels in 2012 but open with the team.
"Guys tell me about it (opening day). I remember watching the Yankees, Phillies and Red Sox on opening day with those powerhouse teams when I was a kid."
Only now it's everybody watching leadoff batter Trout and former league MVPs Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton join forces for a 1-3-4 lineup combination that has the potential to be the most dangerous powerhouse in baseball.
"We've got a special team this season," said Trout, looking like a poker player hiding a full house. "We're excited to be back and get this thing going in front of fans who support us."
The Angels and their All-Star-studded trio of Trout, Pujols and Hamilton play host to reigning AL West champion Oakland on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Angel Stadium. The game doubles as the regular-season home debut for Hamilton, who signed a five-year, $125 million deal in December after playing five seasons with the AL West rival Texas Rangers.
The Angels open at home after a six-game trip to Cincinnati and Texas. They've gotten off to a 2-4 start, which includes three one-run defeats and two series losses.
In six games, Trout, Pujols and Hamilton have a combined batting average of .208 (15 for 72) with nine runs scored, five doubles, two home runs, eight RBI, 13 walks and 21 strikeouts.
The very early returns fall short of expectations from a trio that accounts for 15 All-Star Game selections, 10 Silver Slugger awards, five World Series appearances, four MVP awards, two Rookie of the Year honors, two batting titles, a pair of Gold Gloves and a $34 million chunk of the 2013 payroll.
But let's remember, this season is six games old, and Tuesday is the first game with a home-field advantage.
"These guys work hard. It's not going to be a cakewalk. Offense isn't going to be there every day and dominate," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
"We understand the talent and have a lot of confidence in their talent, and I think you are going to see their talent surface. It's going to be more than just those three guys."
So far, the offense has come from unexpected sources: Third baseman Alberto Callaspo leads everyday players with a .318 average, and catcher Chris Iannetta has been clutch, batting .300 with two home runs and a team-high five RBI in five games.

NAMPA -- Back in January people packed meetings to voice their concerns about the technology part of the education reform plan.
Thursday evening, there were 18 community members at a meeting in Nampa to get ideas on how to implement the proposed online class requirement for high school students.
The Idaho State Board of Education recommends each high school student take 2 online classes during their high school years.
The question comes down to just how they should learn online: through immediate live interaction with teachers or do the assignments at their own pace?
There is one more meeting in Twin Falls on Friday night and the Idaho State Department of Education encourages people to attend.
The task force has to have a plan finalized so they can present it to the legislature in January..

At least four members of the Doyle-Palmer family have been hired into various county departments.
Most recently, Deborah Palmer's sister-in-law, Patti Doyle, was hired by newly-elected District Attorney Kristy Sprague, and Deborah Palmer's brother, Patrick Doyle, was hired as a Department of Public Works mechanic only a few months prior.
Patti Doyle's daughter-in-law, Erica Fuller Doyle was hired in the Personnel Department and Palmer's sister-in-law, Shona, was hired to replace Patti Doyle as Deputy Republican Commissioner at the County Board of Elections.
Deborah Palmer's daughter, Brianne Weber, is employed in the County Clerk's office under Joe Provancha, who is Dan Palmer's cousin.
When all the salaries are included, the Doyle-Palmer family grosses more than $250,000 a year of taxpayer money.
But according to St. Armand Supervisor Joyce Morency, the lion's share of this amount falls under the salaries of the county manager and the clerk of the board, both of whom have earned it, she said.
Deborah Palmer earns more than $63,000 annually plus a longevity stipend of $1,680 while Dan Palmer draws a salary of about $95,000 as county manager plus another $18,000 for his position as Information Systems director.
Morency noted that many county jobs require a civil service exam, and that the test scores can't be affected by favoritism.
"A lot of these jobs have those restrictions, but you can't say that the person who scored the highest doesn't deserve the job regardless if their brother or father works for the county or not," Morency said.
Morency called Palmer the most effective and fair County Manager she has seen in her 27 years on the board.
But the Palmers aren't the only officials with family members employed by county government. Others include Elizabethtown Supervisor Noel Merrihew's daughter, Chelsea, who is employed in the County Clerk's office, Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston's wife Wendy who works in the Office for the Aging, North Hudson Supervisor Robert Dobie's sister-in-law Sindy Brazee who is employed in the Board of Elections and Sheriff Henry Hommes's son Scott Hommes who is employed in the county's Department of Emergency Services.
For their part, county officials are quick to note that Essex County is one of the largest employers in the region with 400 employees, and therefore some relatives working under the same roof is inevitable.
Brushing off the allegations, Dan Palmer said Jan. 6 that he has been completely up front with the hirings of all of his relatives and has not imposed undue influence over the hiring process.

See other big music acts scheduled to come to Houston.
There is a new music festival in Houston, coming August 9-10 to what is being dubbed the EaDo Party Park near BBVA Compass Stadium on the east side of downtown Houston.
The inaugural Houston Whatever Fest, mixing musical and comedy acts, is the brainchild of local music promoter Jason Price and a business partner. Price has been bringing bands to Houston for years and currently heads the three-stage Warehouse Live off St. Emanuel.
Musical acts include MuteMath, Andrew WK, Kreayshawn, Blonde Redhead, Filter, The Hold Steady, the Queers, the Dwarves, Helmet, Rebirth Brass Band, Local H, and Cheap Girls. There will also be special DJ sets from members of Passion Pit and Neon Indian. You can also expect a set from resurrected party-meisters Boys and Girls Club, who kept club crowds moving for most of the early 2000s in Houston.
Local acts We Were Wolves, Catch Fever, Another Run, Knights of the Fire Kingdom, Otenki, Fox and Cats, Oceans of Slumber, and LIMB are also on board.
On the comedy end you can expect to see stand-up sets from TJ Miller and Kumail Nanjiani (both from HBO's hit series "Silicon Valley"), Bobcat Goldthwaite, Iliza Shlesinger, Jonah Ray, Owen Dunn, Lisa Friedrich, Bob Biggerstaff, and Sam Demaris.
Price says that the idea for Whatever has been rolling around in his head for some time. It was this year when he finally decided to stick his neck out and begin planning in earnest. He admits that he wishes he had more time for promotional efforts -- the fest goes down in a month's time -- but he wanted to take advantage of the bands that were available. He hopes to continue to build the fest for the years to come.
"Forever in my mind I have had the germ for a festival like this. The "whatever" part came from me wanting to do a multi-genre musical event with comedy added," says Price. "The whole block and the area around Warehouse Live is getting exciting too. The people who live nearby don't mind noise anymore."
Acts will be performing on the three stages inside Warehouse Live, two stages constructed behind it, and additional stages at Lucky's Pub next door. Price is also in talks to have a portion of the street in front of the venues shut down for easier access for festival-goers.
"It's going to be Warehouse Live, two stages behind it, with comedy stages next door at Lucky's. We are also exploring closing the street in front of the venues too."
Right now two-day passes to Whatever are $55 on the fest's official site, and single-day pass sales should begin in the next few weeks.
Price is excited about the lineup as a whole.
"MuteMath and Blonde Redhead are exciting for me. Andrew WK solo will be a lot of fun, and Filter is great live act," Price says.

I'm just going to leave this here:
Almost as annoying as people who say "The thing is, Microsoft does make better products", when that's clearly an opinion but stated as a fact.
Google are no better IMO. Both companies need to stop bickering.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 01:14
Posted 14 February 2013 - 02:05
Google allows opting out via DNT, and using thier cookies, MS does not.
You do realise that pretty much every site you visit does this too. At least more and more sites are using a similar disclaimer.
You may as well just quit the internet if you don't agree with it.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 02:10
Google allows opting out via DNT, and using thier cookies, MS does not.
In fact it's pretty funny how MS keeps slating google yet in everything I see (minus compatibility) google seems better than MS does.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 02:17
The thing is Microsoft does make better products (Outlook.com comes to mind) but the media shuns everything Microsoft and spends most of its time and energy worshipping Google. The media and tech sites, does a fine job of tearing Microsoft a new one for everything they do, so I guess Microsoft decided if they wanted something done right (in this case, done at all) they were going to have to tear Google down themselves.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 02:34
Thanks for the clarification, I thought I had posted someone else's opinion
That's your opinion. MS just fixed some of the sharing options for Live 365. Outlook.com does look better than Hotmail, but it's not nearly as intuitive for me, or as featureful (is that a word?). Google for me ALWAYS finds better results, no matter how many time I've tried to use Bing.
Posted 14 February 2013 - 14:57
So, for the opinion-Nazis of neowin, recommendations in the future, anytime I post opinion do I need to surround it in [opinion] tags, say "In my opinion", or anything else to make it more blatantly obvious that what I'm saying is opinion? Since apparently inference isn't a strong suit around here.
This is what I get for saying something bad about the almighty Google.
It seems to me that Microsoft is a bit desperate here. No matter what they do they can't seem to get a break while Google is still the media's darling.
