The hex pattern looks cool. I purchased front and back row mats along with a one piece for the cargo area. Good fit except the cargo piece is about 2 inches too long, not a big deal once a split cut is made for the folding seats. The natural rubber smell is strong to start with so I would let them air out for a week before installing. A very good addition to my SUV at a great price.

Sexy outfit! It fit but it was a little snugger than expected and I'm usually a size 4 which the size chart says to pick a small. I suggest a size up just in case to ensure a smoother fit. It tends to gather at the waist. The fabric is kind of cheap and when I would pull it down it felt like I was…BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

25 April 2012 17:14 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--Third-quarter European melamine contracts are likely to firm, but a lot depends on the strength of the economy, sources said on Wednesday.
"The fact remains that with the current margins, as a producer, it is far from satisfactory," one producer said. "The pressure for higher prices will continue."
"For the third quarter, prices will go up because they are too low," another producer said.
It is too early for any clear indication as to the amount that prices may move up in the third quarter, but some buyers said they expect increases to match the rises of their second-quarter contracts, or slightly more, despite demand in western Europe being lacklustre, and availability good.
"In the third quarter, my guess is that prices will go up, perhaps there will be maintenance breaks or producers will artificially reduce output," one buyer said. "Demand usually comes down by about 60-70% in August because most people are on holidays. But the producers will do something."
"It is clear that the price should go up, at least from a supplier's point of view," another consumer said. "And I fear for Q3. There is certainly enough product in the market. I'm afraid producers are having a tough time with these price levels." The buyer said volumes may be reduced, or that some producers may choose to produce urea instead of melamine.
The third quarter is likely to see yet more tense negotiations, as demand traditionally slows during summer, and offtake usually peaks in the second quarter. While increases are expected, market participants said European pricing will depend on the strength of the economy.
Second-quarter prices rose on high raw material costs, which have reduced producers' margins over the past year.
Concerned about the lack of profitability, producers had initially aimed to return second-quarter prices to fourth-quarter 2011 levels, when prices were at approximately €1,200/tonne ($1,579/tonne) free delivered (FD) northwest Europe (NWE).
Prices are now at €1,010-1,090/tonne FD NWE, although some sources said their second-quarter contracts had settled in the mid €900s/tonne FD NWE.
There was a clear acceptance by players across the melamine sector that the bottom had been reached in terms of pricing and that contract prices would need to increase to allow for a healthy, sustainable industry. However, weak demand and healthy supply saw prices settle with a small increase from the first quarter.
Poor macroeconomic conditions mean that there is reduced spending in the public and private sectors across much of Europe.
However, construction opportunities remain evident in eastern Europe, most notably in Ukraine, Romania, Turkey and Belarus, where sources said there is still a need to improve living standards. There are signs of economic growth in these countries with plans for the construction of roads and the building of stadiums, pools, hotels and sports facilities, another producer added.
"If there is one glimmer of hope," one producer said, "the melamine market will react quickly if the economy recovers."

Elizabeth Moon returns to the fantasy world of the paladin Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter — Paks for short — in this second volume of a new series filled with all the bold imaginative flights, meticulous world-building, realistic military action, and deft characterization that readers have come to expect from this award-winning author. In Kings of the North, Moon is working at the very height of her storytelling powers.
Peace and order have been restored to the kingdoms of Tsaia and Lyonya, thanks to the crowning of two kings: Mikeli of Tsaia and, in Lyonya, Kieri Phelan, a mercenary captain whose royal blood and half-elven heritage are resented by elves and humans alike.
On the surface, all is hope and promise. But underneath, trouble is brewing. Mikeli cannot sit safely on his throne as long as remnants of the evil Verrakaien magelords are at large. Kieri is being hounded to marry and provide the kingdom with an heir — but that is the least of his concerns. A strange rift has developed between him and his grandmother and co-ruler, the immortal elven queen known as the Lady. More problematic is the ex-pirate Alured, who schemes to seize Kieri's throne for himself — and Mikeli's, too, while he's at it. Meanwhile, to the north, the aggressive kingdom of Pargun seems poised to invade.
Now, as war threatens to erupt from without and within, the two kings are dangerously divided. Old alliances and the bonds of friendship are about to be tested as never before. And a shocking discovery will change everything.
War, domestic strife and evil magic threaten the rulers in various lands in the latest in the Deed of Paksenarrion series.
Half-elven Kieri, once the head of a famous band of mercenaries and now the rightful king of Lyonya, desires the aid of his co-sovereign, his ageless elven grandmother, in uniting his human and elven subjects, but she does little but pressure him to remarry. Meanwhile, the demon Achyra continues to seek the destruction of Kieri and his loved ones. In neighboring Tsaia, Kieri's former military subordinate, Duke Dorrin Verrakai, deals with the hazardous remnants of her magelord family's many atrocities. And both Lyonya and Tsaia will ultimately have to confront their former ally, the pirate Alured the Black, who now calls himself Duke of Immer and prepares for conquest. Readers new to the series will suffer confusion; fans seeking resolution to the many-stranded plot will require the concluding volume. Moon wrote the first Paksenarrion book more than 20 years ago; it may seem dated to populate a world with elves, dwarves, gnomes and so on, but she works hard at instilling these creatures with character and unique magic. There's a healthy dose of action, clearly informed by the author's military experience, which is no doubt also the source of her blunt criticism of those who object to women in combat.
Decidedly a middle book, but not without its charms.
Chaya, Midsummer Feast
Falkieri Artfielan Phelan, King of Lyonya, waited with barely concealed impatience for his grandmother, the elven queen of the Ladysforest, to appear for the Midsummer ritual. Under his bare feet, the moss of the King's Grove felt cool and welcoming; the fragrance of the summer night, flowers that bloomed at no other time, filled his nostrils. Yet he could not take full pleasure in the soft breeze, the cool moss, the sweet scents. Where was she?
He had spent the entire short night on the central mound near the Oathstone, expecting the Lady to appear, but she had neither granted his request to come early nor sent a clear refusal. He had hoped to use this auspicious day to ask her once again for help with his continuing effort to reconcile the two peoples, elves and humans . . . but since his coronation she had come seldom, and never for long. The whole night she had been elsewhere, and not even his growing taig-sense could find the direction.
He looked again at the stars overhead; the ritual must begin when the Summerstar touched the oldest blackoak's crown—and as he watched, the star slid that last short distance.
"Grandson," the Lady said. "It is time." She was there, where she had not been an instant before, and already she had begun the chant. No time now to remonstrate. He raised his arms high and sang as the sky brightened overhead. Across the Oathstone, she also sang, the two of them—so the tradition went—singing the sun over its midsummer peak. The Lady's hands drew patterns in the air, coils of silvery light, a net to capture the first rays of the sun's gold.
Kieri suspected she would withdraw into her elvenhome kingdom as soon as it was done, but as her enchantment wrapped around him, his irritation subsided. Her song, her power, held him fast. His mind soared: he knew he was in the place he belonged, performing the rituals he needed to perform. The taig responded to both of them; he felt it in his whole body, a tingling awareness of life that both nourished him and needed him. This was how it should be. But the dawn song and the Lady left him at the same time; her enchantment no longer clouded his awareness, and his resentment returned.
He knew she would not return until sundown, when they would spend another short night by the Oathstone. This time, he promised himself, she would listen to him. They were co-rulers; she should not ignore the king any more than he should ignore the Lady. She must at least explain why she had been so supportive that quarter-year ago and so ignored him now. Then he put that out of his head; he still had his own duties.
That morning he walked the bounds of Chaya, retracing the route he'd taken on his coronation day. Once more his subjects lined the streets and the city wall; now he knew many faces and names, and when a child wriggled loose from Berian, baker, and ran to him, he scooped her up.
"Jerli, where are you going?" Kieri glanced at the child's mother, who stood red-faced a few paces away.
"Give you Midsummer luck," the child said, pushing a flower behind his ear. Then she planted a wet kiss on his cheek and wriggled to get down. Kieri set her gently on her feet, and Berian snatched her up, face hardening.
"Don't scold her," Kieri said. "Kind hearts are Arianya's children." His own heart ached, thinking of his lost daughter at that age, who had run to him just as eagerly.
"If the king doesn't mind—"
"A child's good wishes? Never." He went on then, pausing at the four cardinal directions to pour a libation and break a loaf. At noon, he went to the royal ossuary to "bring the sun" to the dead with garlands of flowers. The Seneschal had a basket of fresh leaves ready; Kieri laid the leaves on eyeholes, mouths, earholes, and hung the garlands at either end of the ossuary. He felt a welcome from the bones; he sat on the stool the Seneschal placed for him between the platforms, and the Seneschal set the Suncandle before him, its fragrant smoke wreathing about him, then bowed and left Kieri alone. By custom, he would tell the bones how the year went, reassure them or trouble them as it might.
He had visited the ossuary several times since his coronation, reading over the stories incised on the bones, aware of something he could not define—clouds of feeling from this one and that, not all of them. But always the Seneschal had attended him. This was his first visit truly alone and the first when he had a report to make.
He let his mind quiet, trying to drive away that persistent resentment of the Lady's neglect, and then began, talking to the bones as if they were living men and women, his ancestors, standing around him. He told of the coronation, of the many conferences with his Council, his assessment of the Siers he had met, his concern about the lack of trade, the slow withering of the land's economy, his concern about the danger from Pargun and what seemed to him an unreasonable aversion to preparations for defense.
"And the elves and humans are still estranged," he said, into the silent near-darkness. A chill ran down his back, as if behind him someone had stepped out with drawn sword. He felt a tension in the silence: true listening, it seemed. It could not be, he told himself . . . and yet the hairs stood up on his arms. He did not glance around; he would not give in to the fear. "The Lady of the Ladysforest—"
The Suncandle flared, the flame rising to the level of his knees as he sat on the stool. Kieri felt sweat break out on his forehead. Were elves listening? So much the better, then; perhaps they would carry his message to her. He laid it all out in plain words, in a voice flat with suppressed anger. She was his grandmother and his co-ruler: she owed him the courtesy of her presence and the kingdom the courtesy of her attention and her assistance. She had changed since the coronation, and he did not know why. He was angry, he admitted to the bones, that she had neglected what he saw as her plain duty . . . and yet he was not free to act as he would if he were sole ruler. Even that day, that sacred morn of Midsummer, she had ignored his request and come to the Grove only at the final moment.
As if physical hands touched his face, he felt something—a warmth on his right cheek, a coolness on his left. Something of his father—the merest hint of a man's firm, warm hand on his sword-side, the merest hint of a woman's softer, cooler hand on his heart-side. His heart stuttered a moment, then beat on. He could not speak aloud; he asked the question in his mind. Are you . . . father? Sister?
What . . . do you want? From his father's hand—he could not think it otherwise—came a sense of love, support, peace. He could almost smell that dimly remembered smell, from times his father had picked him up and held him close. From his sister's hand, something different: affection, wistfulness, and—stronger as he listened—anger. Then, sudden and strong: betrayal and warning.
Kieri scarcely breathed. Betrayal? Danger? Who?
They lie. She— But that was interrupted; his right cheek seemed to feel more pressure.
Not now. No shadows this day.
The sensation faded, his father's faster than his sister's, leaving the certainty that he had more to learn from them. The final word from his father felt like duty . . . from his sister, like judgment.
"Sir King."
Kieri opened eyes he had not realized he'd closed; the Seneschal knelt before him, picking up the Suncandle's holder, in which only a puddle of wax remained.
"The candle has ended, Sir King."
"Thank you," Kieri said. He had no idea how long it had burned. "I . . . I will need to talk with you after the rest of this." A wave of the hand encompassed all the Midsummer rituals.
"I wondered," the Seneschal said. "From my post I saw the Suncandle burn higher than I have ever seen it before. When it flares, sometimes there is a message."
"There was . . . something," Kieri said. "Something I do not understand, but must." He shook his head to clear it. "Seneschal, do the bones ever speak to you?"
"Speak to me? You mean, do I hear voices?"
"I suppose . . . or something, some knowledge you feel the bones are giving you?"
"That, yes, Sir King. Just as you said you did, on your first visit. Is that not still happening?"
"Yes. But I do not know . . . how much is real. How much is my wish, or my . . . I was never given to fancies, that I know of."
"Nor would I think you so, Sir King. You have every aspect of a practical man, a man of experience and action. If your ancestors' bones are telling you something, then to my mind you should listen. I am at your service whenever you wish, but is it so urgent that you must ignore this feast?"
"No . . . I think not." Kieri sat down on the bench outside the ossuary to put on his boots. "I must come back again, find the time to sit awhile with them, and then—then I will need to ask you how to interpret what I think I hear."
He found the court waiting for him outside, musicians and all. He led them to feast in the shade of the trees at the edge of the Royal Ride. They ate sitting on the grass, even the stuffiest of the Siers, and watched as a parade of livestock decked with flowers and ribbons, mellow bells around their necks clonking gently, ambled past on the main street. Music eddied in and out of hearing as the breeze shifted: ballads, jigs, round dances.
"We never did any of this in the north," he said to Arian, one of his half-elven Squires. In the quarter-year since his coronation, he'd found himself attracted to her despite the disparity in their ages and his determination not to involve himself with much younger women. "I wish I'd thought of it." It did no harm to talk to her, he told himself.
"Were you even there, in Midsummer?" she asked.
"Not often. I spent the summers in Aarenis." Hot summers those had been, sweat gluing his shirt to his body, sun beating down on his helm. "When we were in a safe camp, I poured a libation on Midsummer Morn, and some of the troops would sing songs through the night." Kieri lay back on the soft grass, eyes half-closed against the gleams of sun coming through the tree's canopy overhead, and pushed those memories away; the present peace and ease were too precious to waste. After a time, the Squires talked softly among themselves. He scarcely listened, letting his mind wander to the coronation taking place in neighboring Tsaia, to his former captains Dorrin and Arcolin. He wished them well, a Midsummer prayer of abundance and health.
"But Paks said there were magelords in enchanted sleep out there," Harin said. Mention of Paks caught Kieri's attention. "If they are magelords, are any of them Verrakaien?"
Kieri opened his eyes. "What magelords? Where?"
"In Kolobia," Harin said. "When Paks was there with the Girdish, she said there were noble warriors in the stronghold the Girdish call Luap's. Didn't she tell you?"
She had, he remembered. Kieri nodded to show he understood.
"If some were Verrakaien, would they be under attainder if they were to wake?" Arian asked. She sounded fully awake herself. Kieri turned his head and glanced at her. She was plaiting the stems of pink and yellow flowers into a crown.
"Who could wake them?" Maelith asked. She fitted a wristlet of blue flowers over her hand and began work on another.
"Who would want to?" Harin asked. "Magelords were always trouble. Let them sleep, I say, until the end of time." Then he flushed as Kieri looked at him. The king, after all, had magelord blood. "The Tsaian ones, I meant."
"The Girdish are trying to find out," Kieri said without raising his head. "The Marshal-General visited me last winter—back in Tsaia—and I heard a little about it then."
"Surely whoever put them to sleep could wake them," Arian said. "And that I would like to know: how did they come to be sleeping there, and who else might be sleeping somewhere else?"
A disquieting thought. Kieri considered what little he knew of Kolobia, what Paks had told him. The magelords had taken refuge in that land, been attacked by something—perhaps the iynisin who attacked Paks—and then cast into an enchanted sleep. Why? For what purpose? And if what cast that sleep ended it, what would come out from that distant fortress? Allies or enemies?
"Maybe dragons out of the old tales are asleep somewhere, too," Maelith said.
"Dragons! They're all gone; Camwyn Dragonmaster sent them away."
"We thought magelords were all gone," Arian pointed out. "Maybe dragons are just sleeping."
"They were said to be shape-shifters as well," Sarol said, putting a pink and white wreath on his head. "We might have one in Chaya today: would we know?"
"The Lady would, surely," Arian said.
Kieri glanced around at his Squires, now all decked with flower wristlets, garlands, crowns of flowers. They looked harmless as any of the farm lads and lasses strolling down the lane but for the swords and bows laid close at their sides.
Some of them, he thought, must be barely out of Falk's Hall—certainly not more than a year or so. He felt his years of war and intrigue as a chasm separating them from him. Even Garris, leaning against a tree a few lengths away, a stone jar of summerwine in his hand, seemed young in comparison. His gaze met Arian's.
"I could make you one," Arian said, holding up a handful of flowers and grinning down at him as if she'd read his thoughts.
"Oh, just give him yours, Arian," Panin said, in a teasing tone. "Berne will plait you one to make it up."
Arian shook her head and gave Kieri a look he couldn't interpret. "No," she said, "I'll make my own." Before Kieri could move, she'd dropped her flower crown on his chest and turned away to pick more flowers.
It was not the first time he'd felt silent communications between Squires wafting past him, but he was not going to respond to it, whatever it was. If there were covert courtships or rivalries going on, better not to know. He'd learned that in the first few years he'd commanded his own company.

This was a wonderful book as a follow-up to Oath of Fealty. Paks, is a main character in this book, but not the most important this time, although she is the one that leads the book through its progression. The Duke, Kieri Phelan, is also one of the main characters and you learn a lot more about him in this book. He is a wonderful character that we've never heard too much about his past but now we will. He is a lot more than just a mercenary commander. As he tries to come to grips with his life after the wars in the South in the last book he now is trying to put together his lands in the North. He has to bring together is people as well as his mercenaries and make them one. Not as a unit that is two groups that can work together. He needs to make sure the land is taking care of and is getting stronger and stronger feelings for the land. He doesn't realize that this is due to his half Elven background. Paks goes through many trials and tribulations after leaving the Dukes company of mercenaries. During these trials she grows and finds many gifts that she has and it's slowly becoming obvious that she's not an ordinary soldier anymore. Eventually she goes to the school for paladins and is asked to become one. She finds this is the best time of her life. She loves the people the work. The learning and everything that goes with it and her skills and gifts become stronger as she does so. Eventually, she is asked to go on a quest to find Lupan's base and terrible things happen there. When she returns to the paladin school. She finds that she has lost all of her courage or so she thinks. Upon not being able to fight any longer. She leaves the school and goes out on her own in midwinter no supplies and has a horrible six months where she almost dies repeatedly. Eventually, she is healed by master OakHollow, and finds that she is in far better shape than she was before and is now a true paladin of the gods, not just of Gird, but called by the gods themselves. She is then called to go on several quests the final one is to find the true King of the North. This is where things get really exciting. The people of that land. After seeing what she can do want her to become the King when the old king, dies but she says no. She says that her quest is to find the King not become the King. So she leaves again on her quest to find the true King Prince that was stolen away when he was five years old. His mother was an elf and his father was the human king of the land. His mother was killed when he was kidnapped as were the other people in their party. The Prince was taken into captivity for many years. When he returned to his land delves steamed him to damaged to ever become king and so they never told him who he was, nor did they tell anyone else and they would not tell Paks who he was.but, she had his sword that had been made for him when he was born by his mother's orders. She had been carrying it. The day that they were attacked. Eventually, the sword fell into the hands of Alimn Haverack,many years later gave it to , the Duke at the time of his wedding for his wife. The Dukes swore never to draw the sword since it was his wife's weapon and he didn't want to impose upon her. After she was murdered along with her two children. He put it on the wall and it was never touched again until Paks used it in an emergency to fight a demon. She followed this sword on her quest as a way to find the Prince. Now read the b

I have only one complaint about this series. Because it is a series, there isn't a clear ending. That aside it is a pleasure to see the original Paks' evolve. Better to say to see those that were minor characters evolve. Duke Darrin has squires now and is trying to revive her rulership. Kieri is having conflicts with the Lady, and the 'good' elves are showing themselves as not as good. Still a very enjoyable read. Best though to start with Oath of Fealty.
I wouldn't use this for a book club as it is in the middle and might be confusing.

This continuation of the "Paksenarrion" series is a bit more contrived and disjointed than the previous volume. The story drags in places, and seems less than believable in others. Its predecessor, "Oath of Fealty," is a better book.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

This book continues to build a solid and intricate structure with increased pacing that flows naturally from the development of characters we continue to care about. The story line challenges the readers assumptions as well as the characters understanding of their own nature and the nature of good and evil: a continuous theme in everything Moon writes and done with craftsmanship that avoids preaching or speechifying. And I hate waiting a whole year for the next book!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Former mercenary leader Kieri Phelan has become the King of Lyonya while Mikeli is crowned ruler of Tsaia. At the same time Senior Captain of the Second Cohort mercenary company Dorrin has become the Duke of Verrakai. All have come a long way, but now are targets of assassins whose employers covet both aristocratic positions.
One of the biggest threats to both kingdoms comes from newly self-proclaimed Duke Visla Vaskronin. However, Kieri also deals with imminent war with neighboring Pargun. He pleads with his elven grandmother the Lady to help him and their kingdom that she rules along with him, but she fails to assist him. He knows it is up to him to keep Lyonya safe. At the same time Mikeli feels he must act to destroy what is left of the evil Verrakaien magelords.
The second entry in the second Paks world series follows the key characters closely as the two monarchs and the dukes adapt to new duties not always successfully. There is plenty of off page major events, but those are seen passively through the eyes of the lead protagonists rather than in person by the reader. Thus, the pace is at best moderate speed, but fans of a cerebral character driven fantasy will enjoy the journey into the center of the minds of Kieri, Mikeli, Dorrin and somewhat less Visla.

Double Gingerbread Dump Cake

ready in: 2-5 hrs

★ review it!
12 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon fresh ginger -- rounded
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons corn starch -- leveled
3/4 cup whole wheat flour, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place rack in center of oven. Place a glass or metal pan filled with water on bottom of oven. This will make a moister cake.
Lightly mist a 12 cup Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour, then set aside.
Melt butter. Stir in sugars, vanilla, eggs, gingers and baking soda. Add baking soda in pinches. Break up the lumps by rubbing with your fingers. Stir in buttermilk. At this point to ensure a good mix you could beat the batter.
Stir in corn starch and flours until just well blended. Once you have added flour you do not want to "mess with" the batter. The more you stir your batter after you have added the flour, the tougher your cake will become. Pour into cake pan, tap the pan once or twice on the counter to get any air bubbles out of the cake batter.
Start to check on the cake after 60 minutes of baking time. With the pan of water in the oven it may take up to 75-80 minutes of baking time. When done you should be able to smell the cake, look for the sides of the cake to pull away from the pan and finally test the center of the cake with a cake tester.
Cool the cake for 20 minutes. Invert cake on plate. Cool completely.
Serving suggestions: dust with powdered sugar, lemon powdered sugar. Serve with Cool Whip, whipped cream, vanilla/butter sauce or lemon sauce. Frost with lemon frosting or icing or a cream cheese icing.

You say to add the eggs in the directions, but in the list of ingredients there are no eggs listed. Most other recipes have eggs in them, so I'll just add two.

In terms of actual skill, who is more talented between Federer and young Nalbandian?

He was 5'11 and pretty strong. He didn't have much pace, but he also wasn't a very crafty serve. His slice and kick serves weren't exactly weapons. Rod Laver wasn't the biggest guy but he had a great serve. There are plenty of examples of small guys who weren't big but could compensate for it. Tipsarevic has some pop on his serve. Benjamin Becker is 5'11 yet he was a big server.
Also, bulletproof technique, huh?? Isn't that what makes
great stroke? The serve is the most important stroke in tennis along with the forehand. There's no way it doesn't take talent to be a great server.
Federers footwork is unparalled. Gael Monfils, James Blake etc are more "freakish" athletes yet their footwork isn't even close to being as good.
But even disregarding that, if "talent" is something that you are born with, then how does movement/balance/coordination/footwork not fall into that category? It seems as if your criteria for talent is made entirely to support your argument.
1. Eh, I'd say it's because of the repetition. It isn't something like point construction or anticipation that can hardly be trained (at least compared to the serve) Seems like the serve is more like a shot where you need to get the mechanics right.
It's a little different with groundstrokes and volleys, since your talent can win your points there. I struggle to see how talent could buy you a great serve. Seems more about practice than gift to me. (and in case you say that no amount of hard work would give Nalby the serve of Federer, that is true, but in this case that is impossible. Guy is already a pro. Federer OTOH nailed his technique before it was too late. It's more of a technical problem.
2. I dunno, does that mean that guys like Blake and Monfils are also talented?
I always thought that being able to run fast and hit hard were more physical abilities and talent is innate SKILL.

Hey CP
Sorry Mouse for a brief digression
Above 40 F half choke, below I use full on choke. The bike fires immediately in cold weather with full choke and will stall in a second or two. Repeat two, three, four, five tries (one second hit on the starter) and it will hold barely at idle then will slowly jump up to the high idle, still at full choke. If the bike doesn't hold at idle by the fifth hit on the starter it's a no go. While warming up anything less than full choke, the rpms drop to 1000 or stalls.
I've had two Yuasa batteries, first was dead from the factory. I was going to try to shoe horn the Odyssey in similar to what Mouse is doing now but went with a replacement Yuasa that is supposed to have 250 CCA. So far the old Yuasa battery has been better on cold starts.

Not sure how easily water capacity could be added to those boats.. perhaps there's space under the V berth, but with the use of so many liners I expect adding tankage could be an issue.
We also have a smallish cockpit but for the two of us it's not an issue. The plus of the C&C 37r/+/37/40 is the rapid draining of the open transom. IIRC the cockpit has a high bridge deck, but no seats long enough for comfortable lounging.. and remember most cruisers spend the majority of their time aboard on the hook or otherwise 'parked'....
Our former marina neighbours have just this past fall gone down to Mexico in a C&C 115.. word is they've made it OK, did experience a good blow and got through that and they were not particularly experienced sailors, but 30-40 knots is generally more than a handful regardless of the boat. These are powered up boats and you'd of course be severely reefed by then.

It's not the truth. It is her victimized idea of it. Obviously she can't handle motherhood and anything else but she is in error to think other women can't either. She is also in error to think that all women resent their babies because they come first with a lot of demands.

As is typical for self-centered, selfish proaborts, Petey was only thinking of Petey. Even at his MOTHER'S funeral, Petey gets what Petey selfishly wants. I have no doubt that Petey was nothing but a disappointment to his late mother. She's praying harder than ever for his filthy soul.

Petey: When life begins is a philosophical question, not a legal one.
When life begins is a biological one: at conception. "Personhood" is subjective.
Petey: A born person cannot force another to sustain their lives against that second party's will
You are trying to dehumanize human beings, again, Petey. Pregnancy is how mankind was created to procreate.

What Every Catholic needs to know about funerals
The funeral Mass is a final opportunity to commend the deceased to Gods mercy, and thats why it must be done with reverence
By Brian Fraga - OSV Newsweekly, 10/9/2011

All natural. Pop me in a box and bury me.
Funeral home special. Embalming and make-up before burial.

It is one of the most important events a Catholic community celebrates in a persons life, but one so often misunderstood and increasingly ignored.
The funeral Mass.
The funeral liturgy in a church setting is a final opportunity to commend the deceased to Gods mercy, and to reflect on how the persons life mirrored the love and teachings of Jesus Christ, who promises that one day, the Christian will rise again and live with him in the New Jerusalem. Forever.
In order to pray for the repose of the persons soul, and to pray for the family, the best way to do so is the Mass, because its in the Mass that we read from the Gospels, that we encounter the Lord Jesus and his mercy, said Father Roger Landry, a priest of the Diocese of Fall River, Mass.
The Mass is the source of hope for those who have seen a loved one die, in that the family can see that their loved one might not die, but live forever. Its one of the greatest means by which the Christian community comes together to support a grieving family, Father Landry told Our Sunday Visitor.

A funeral Mass is given to every Catholic. It is more for the family and a tradition.
Everyone is redeemable. We don't know what was in his heart at the end of his life.

Hey knutter, if my wife dies before I do, she's not going to get a funeral "mass." Does that make me a pathetic man?
Perhaps you'd want to consider that if the opposite happens, I'm not going to get a funeral "mass" either. Will that make my wife a pathetic woman?
Funeral services matter nothing to the person who died. After all, he/she is dead. And if Peter's family chose not to have a mass, it was their choice and their decision. However, seeing as you follow so well on the footsteps of almost every Catholic I know and you disobey your Jeebus' commandments, according to Luke 6:27 - 37, I suppose I can also call you, and every other militant Catholic, pathetic.

Davis cuts in housing could cost area cities $29 million
Affordable funds would go to state
San Diego County redevelopment agencies stand to lose $29.7 million in affordable housing funds as part of Gov. Davis' proposal earlier this week to help balance the state budget.
The money, which is raised from the 20 percent of redevelopment area property taxes that is set aside for creation of low-and moderate-income housing, goes for new construction, rehabilitation and mortgage assistance programs.
Statewide, Davis proposes to take $500 million in such funds and deposit it into the state treasury to help cover $10.2 billion of the state's looming $30 billion, two-year deficit.
The city of San Diego faces the biggest loss locally, $9.15 million, according to the state controller's office. Most of that amount would come from funds going to the Centre City Development Corp. for downtown redevelopment.
Roughly half of the state assistance is for projects that have been identified but not yet funded, and the other is for undesignated projects, a controller's spokeswoman said.
San Diego city officials said the loss of the state money also could jeopardize a $55 million housing bond program set to begin next month to help build and acquire affordable housing downtown and elsewhere.
Among other affected redevelopment agencies, Chula Vista stands to lose $5.2 million; El Cajon, $3.8 million; Oceanside, $3.1 million; Vista, $2.3 million; National City, $2.2 million; La Mesa, $1.2 million; county government, $1 million; Carlsbad, $908,000; Lemon Grove, $809,000; and Imperial Beach, $37,000.
San Marcos City Manager Rick Gittings, whose city does not face the prospect of losing the funds to Sacramento, nevertheless disagreed with the budget-mending proposal, saying that perhaps no more than $50 million is actually available to help the state.
The governor's proposal is seen by housing officials and advocates as severely hampering efforts to provide more low-cost housing throughout the state at a time when home prices in many areas are out of bounds for most households.
Earlier this year, the San Diego City Council declared a housing emergency in the city, and a task force began work this week on finding ways to increase the supply of apartments and homes.
"If they stole the money – a term I'll use – then of course there would be less affordable housing in the state than there already is," Gittings said, "which I think is against statewide policy. I keep hearing all the legislators whine (about the lack of affordable housing). They (new projects) wouldn't go forward."
Elizabeth Morris, chief executive of the city's housing commission, said projects ready to start construction in the next few weeks also could be affected because the governor proposes to take funds not spent or encumbered as of Dec. 1.
She said tapping into other redevelopment funds could affect nonhousing projects such as the new downtown library.
"The Legislature has some very difficult choices to make, for one, the housing crisis," Morris said.
Robert Powell, assistant city manager in Chula Vista, said his staff is looking into the housing funds issue and said that if his city had to give up any funds, a low-income housing loan program would suffer.

The idea of paying $129.99 for a pair of hand painted Converse Chuck Taylors commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Twin Peaks televisions series might seem extravagant to some. Were it not for the facts that the logistics of shipping such unique merchandise are so complicated and that I don't have an actual postal address to have them delivered to, I would buy a pair in a New York minute. I wasn't even aware that next April will mark a quarter-century since David Lynch's TV masterpiece was aired until a few days ago. It looks like Lynch and Mark Frost will be teaming up with Showtime to release some sort of revival of Twin Peaks in 2016 to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the show's cancellation in 1991.
I agree with the guy from the Peak Dream article that Twin Peaks is a complete and perfect whole as it is. There seems little need to try to extend or build upon the show. Still, I imagine I'll be looking forward to such a revival should it ever come to be. More importantly, if anyone would like to get the perfect gift for their favorite Saudi based podcaster, all I can say is size 12 please.
As for the podcast that accompanies this post, only a small chunk of the 30 plus minutes was devoted to Twin Peaks. Below are a few of the points covered as I unintentionally spent a half an hour driving in a circle:
- Creative Commons music from Vadim Kotinsky (2 eps): Karolina and Night in Amsterdam
- The G in GATT is for General, not Global.
- There seems to be no evidence that the planes brought back cocaine.
- Mosquito-net project in the globalization class
- Toward a lingua franca: Ogden's Basic English
- Now it's Basic Global English
- The Shape of Things to Come
- Unpacking Conrad's "We live as we dream. Alone"
- Gang of Four with Sara Lee on bass
