Ripon Society holds 2014 Legislative and Communications Directors Symposium
The Ripon Society's 2014 Legislative and Communications Directors Symposium on Leadership held at Mount Vernon on Friday drew 200 policymakers and communications aides to discuss challenges in the year ahead. The purpose of the symposium was to provide legislative and communications directors with briefings on some of the challenges facing the nation and the Republican majority in the House of Representatives, Ripon Society President and CEO Jim Conzelman said. "Our party has gone through some tough times in recent years," Conzelman said. "Our nation has gone through some tough times. Now that we've weathered the storm, how do we make things better? How do we improve things - not only for the Republican party, but for the American people as a whole? That's one of the goals of this symposium, and one of the questions we hope to address. At the same time, by meeting here at Mount Vernon, we also hope to remind you of the historical significance of your job. You are walking in the footsteps of Washington, which is easy to forget in this age of social media, but is worth considering while you are here." The symposium featured keynote addresses by former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and former presidential counselor Ed Gillespie. Symposium highlights included the use of technology in politics, a presentation on the American electorate, open discussion with leadership and policy staff, a session on negotiating skills and a presentation on the electoral landscape of 2014.

New Final Drive Fluid Amount- substantiated?
Anyone have the latest RepROM for '07 R1200GS?
I don't have the latest, probably the original. I'm trying to find out if the latest that covers the '07 states a different final drive fluid level than 220 ml. I have a 2006 K1200GT and there seems to be references floating about that BMW has changed the fluid level from 220 ml to 180 ml, perhaps to eleviate blowing seals on the failing final drives. I have a similar post going for my K1200GT on another forum, where someone brought this to everyone's attention but only posted a .PDF of a printout copy, without referrence to what models were covered. I just wonder if a similar thing is going on with the GS model. I'd hate to be the fiirst to drain 40 ml of fluid and burn up my drive by TRYING to do the right thing.
The new fill level is 200ml for a dry drive, and 180ml for a refill. It applies to all the new drives (since '05) and all the models that have these drives. The BMW note does list all these vehicles. The GS, and (new) GT are included of course. This new fill level is about half full in the drive, so it is highly unlikely that there would be a lack of oil with that kind of a level in any case.
Thanks. I am wondering what the difference between a "dry" drive and a "refill" is. I thought when I drop the drive to swing down 90 degrees to drain my 3 o'clock plug till nothing comes out, and thus needing refilled, it would be a "dry" "refill".... :evil
When you empty and refill you want the 180 ml. fill amount.
So I guess logic states 20 cc hides in there... I can see that. Thanks for the explanation. Go figure I JUST DID the change and spline lubes on both my GT and GS 3 weeks ago, filling to 220 ml. :puke1
Oh well...
It still would be nice to see a .PDF of the bulletin somewhere...
Weight question
Now that we know the correct quantity of 180ml for a refill, what is the BMW recommended gear oil weight for a 2007 generation R1200Gs. I have seen both 75-140w & 75-90W mentioned in Adv Rider threads, but what does the factory spec. out? I'm not concerned with what brand of oil inmates are using & have no intention of starting an "oil thread" just info on factory specs.
New Final Drive Fluid Amount- substantiated?
I've talked to both the service managers at Grassroots BMW, Cape Girardeau, MO. and BMW---St Louis, Mo. and both told me the new fill quantity is 180cc wet and 200cc dry for all '05 forward R1200 bikes.......................their word is good enough for me. I am using 75-90 Mobil 1 synthetic..YMMV
Dealers aren't too worried about the fill amount. Like another poster, I had just done mine when the new specs came out . I had an FD seal replaced on warranty and they didn't drain the new fluid to spec, saying they just don't bother until it's time to do it all.
Still when I have the time I am going to pull the plug with the wheel on the bike. The horizontal drain ('05) level is just about where the 180ml level resides so when it stops bleeding you just re-plug. From what I hear.:evil
I think that's been substantiated several times on ADV. You can catch the amount that drains out...should be about 50ml or less. I don't think it is so critical although my '08 K12S weeped a little oil out of the seal when new but quit. But my '06 didn't.
I just did mine a few weeks ago on an 09 I think I''ll drain and refill as I'd hate to have a seal leak from to much oil.
Funny thing! When I had the outer seal on the FD of my 2005 R1200GS replaced under warranty in 2007 the dealer refilled it through the 9 o'clock drain plug, without pivoting the FD into the downward position as JVB and others (including the early rep roms?) demonstrate.
Was this dealer ahead of its time? :lol3 :lol3 Maybe only partially as the tech did use 75-140 to do it.
Jim :brow
Has anyone tried a vacuum evacuator to remove the FD lube? I've used one to change the oil in a four stroke outboard motor and a lawn mower engine. It seems like it would work for the FD.

DPRK Papers Call for Working in Kim Jong Il's Way
| Pyongyang, February 1 (KCNA) -- All the party members, servicepersons and other people should make it an iron rule of their work and life to create and make leap forward in general secretary Kim Jong Il's way as befitting the officials, party members and people trained by him.
Newspapers of the DPRK made this call in their editorials Wednesday.
Kim Jong Il's is the original way of work and creation whose validity and inexhaustible might had already been fully displayed in the protracted and arduous practice of the Korean revolution, Rodong Sinmun said, adding:
His way is the people-centered way of creation that calls for relying on the popular masses and giving full play to their mental power in order to push ahead with socialist construction. It is also the revolutionary way of struggle in the 21st century as it helps conduct all works in a creative and innovative manner under whatever conditions and circumstances and make uninterrupted strides.
His way represents all examples to be followed in the era of building a thriving nation, ranging from the principles of creation and construction to the mode and spirit of planning works and launching them and to style of work.
The idea of Kim Jong Il in making revolution is that of offensive and his way of revolution is that of offensive. It was his peculiar disposition to go into action rapidly, once the target is set, and dash towards the target and then continue offensive to attain higher goals.
To follow his way is the key to the everlasting victory of the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean revolution and a shortcut to the building of a thriving country.
Minju Joson said: Kim Jong Il is always with us and his venerable name and image serve as the banner of the eternal victory of the DPRK.

Catholics need to take their own advice when it comes to intra-faith dialogueBy
It's been a week since I was accused of "pope bashing."
Why was I labeled a "pope basher?"
In a column I wrote in the days following Cardinal Bergoglio's elevation to the papacy, I mentioned that we don't know a lot about him. I also said that his decision to live in an apartment and ride the bus during his time in Buenos Aires doesn't tell us anything about how he would run the Roman Curia.
How that amounts to pope bashing I don't know. I admit there were some parts of my essay I should have re-worded and saved for another time, but the knee-jerk, visceral responses I received in the comment box and on twitter deeply saddened me, for it was not what I expected to hear from fellow Catholics.
I was labeled a "traddie" and was told to edit my future posts "with the love of Christ" because apparently I was claiming to know better than the Holy Spirit. When I expressed my desire to know more about Cardinal Bergoglio's stance on the Latin Mass I was personally attacked. Someone even accused me of not being a Catholic.
Now, I have no way of knowing what kind of relationship those who responded to my essay have with the Catholic Church, but the general tenor of the Catholic blogosphere in the days following Pope Francis' election seemed to mimic my own experience. I can't say I'm surprised at what was said, but I can say I was deeply disappointed.
Why? Because the discussion among "orthodox," "progressive," and "traditionalist" Catholics amounted to what could be considered a civil war.
On the one hand, you have the "orthodox" Catholics who will do pretty much anything the pope says. These Catholics understand Vatican II in the way Pope Emeritus Benedict and Blessed Pope John Paul II understood it. They are often referred to as "conservative" Catholics. They support the Church's teachings on homosexual unions, women's ordination and other issues like abortion. EWTN would be considered an "orthodox" outlet.
On the other hand, you have the "progressive" or "liberal" Catholics. These Catholics are more inclined to support the "spirit of Vatican II." Liberals typically want to further update the liturgy, change the Church's teaching on birth control and women's ordination, and promote liberation theology. Sr. Simone Campbell would be considered a "progressive" Catholic.
There is a third group of Catholics that deserve attention as well: "Traditionalist" Catholics. Traddies, as they are mockingly referred to, express reservations about Vatican II. Many of them reject the council all together, as SSPX founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre did.
The change in the Latin Mass, they argue, has resulted in a Protestantized worship service and has led to disarray amongst Catholics. Vatican II's "periti's," or experts, were anything but "orthodox." They were "progressives" who strayed from the faith, so we have a duty not follow their teachings. Websites like The Remnant would be considered "traditionalist."
Very rarely do you find collegiality among these three types of Catholics. The conservatives view the progressives as out and out heretics. The progressives think they are "prophetic" and that conservatives need to get with the times. The conservatives say traditionalists are ignoring the Holy Spirit by not adhering to Vatican II. And the traditionalists think everyone is wrong.
Quite naturally, each of these three camps has their own area of emphasis.
Progressives tend to speak about equality, social justice and women's rights. Conservatives tend to talk about the dictatorship of relativism, the need to defend the pope and Vatican II, and things like ecumenism and the New Evangelization. Traditionalists, usually driven by the motto "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi" (roughly translated "How we pray is how we believe") are primarily concerned with the restoration of the Latin Mass, the need to convert (not just dialogue with) those of other faiths, and the need to speak out forcefully against the heresies of the modern world.
Oddly enough, when you put these three types of Catholics in the same room they act more like children with personal vendettas than followers of Christ.
As a Catholic Vote contributor, I think you already know where I stand when it comes to certain progressive issues, but it is often the case that these three "flavors" of Catholicism simply don't want to hear one another, and so they do their best to drown out or ignore the very real concerns each of the other two types of Catholics bring to the table.
This is hypocritical on part of "conservatives" because they are the ones who tell us we must be more open to dialogue, especially with non-Catholics like Jews and Protestants. It is hypocritical on part of the "progressives" because they preach tolerance and empathy while very rarely showing deference to fellow Catholics. And it is hypocritical on part of the "traditionalists" because they often view anyone who is not a traditionalist as a non-Catholic.
In an effort to bridge this growing chasm, it is my hope we can come together in a spirit of humility to better understand one another. Not just for the sake of understanding, as important as that may be, but for the sake of arriving at the truth so that the Catholic faith may flourish. It won't be easy. And many of us will fall short by reverting to ad hominem attacks. But a house divided against itself cannot stand. As St. Paul once asked: is Christ divided?

Well put, Steven. At the very least Catholics should act Catholic, but it is far better to actually be Catholic. Muchas gracias!
I commented on your previous article in large part for the title: "I pray that Francis is the right man for the job" really sounds like "I'm pretty sure he's not, but I'll pray…" Which may not have been your intention, but certainly flavored my reading of the rest of your comments. And your conclusion, that you find it hard to believe Pope Benedict would have wanted Francis as his successor was too much. It seems to be trying to drive a wedge between two Popes.
Maybe this wasn't your intention, but I think that if you read your article with honesty, you can see how someone who just wants to love and respect the Pope could read it that way.
I don't think that labels are helpful, and we all need to listen to one another more.
This is a wonderful piece that captures the current issues spot-on. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I know the reason you got the reaction you got and nobody else wants to come out and say it but I will. This has to do with a much feared "Personality Cult" and in every one of them there is clearly NO room for criticism much less disagreement. This type of thing does NOT belong in the Church or Papacy at all because it takes the focus off Jesus and puts it on his Vicar instead and this is dangerous
Yes Christ is divided if we continue to label ourselves like this. I sympathetic to the writer and share in his concerns, but we have to change how we discuss Catholicism, and fundamentally that means throwing out such labels all together.
I go to the 'Latin Mass' every Sunday. Does that make me a "traditionalist?" I'd say that makes me one thing: Catholic. Period.
What is most astounding to me is that both the Progressives and the so-called "Orthodox" spend more time lambasting and persecuting Traditionalists (those who just want to be truly Catholic and truly holy) while defending followers of schismatic/heretical sects or entirely false religions.
You will find comments on many Catholic forums proclaiming that Jews and Muslims today need not convert, and in the same breath they will unhesitatingly proclaim Archbishop Lefebvre to be in hell.
I have posted this on other comments sections as well, but again the verse that immediately comes to mind is Proverbs 17:15 "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God."
What it really comes down to with the three positions is:
Progressivists – Think morality is relative to time and societal trends; border on theosophy believing all religions to be equal. No one goes to hell and the devil isn't real; Jesus isn't truly present in the Eucharist and the sacraments aren't necessary.
Post-Conciliar Orthodox – Still essentially morally traditional on key issues but have fallen into what Dom Chautard describes as a tendency toward "tepidity" due to justification/dismissal/denial of venial sins (in other words, a sort of "find the good in sin" mentality, like trying to put a positive spin on secular things rather than rejecting them outright); an attitude of "no one can judge" and that the Catholic faith is the one true faith with the fullness of faith but other religions have seeds of truth which have valid salvation. Baptism of desire is viewed as common based on God's mercy. An at least outward appearance of fear of being criticized by the media or by other people and of being labeled as "intolerant" or "uncharitable."
Traditionalist – strict morality founded in Fear of the Lord and genuinely heeding the words of our Lord not to be "lovers of the world" which belongs to Satan; firm believers in the 2000 year teaching that "extra ecclesiam nulla salus" and that Baptism of Desire is rare based on the infallibly defined teachings on the matter since the earliest years of the Church and based on the directive of Christ to go and baptize and teach all nations. Not afraid of the persecution that comes from following truly in Christ's footsteps and of the conviction, through all charity, patience and tenderness, to the necessity of holding the one true faith of Jesus Christ.
The sad part is that the ultimate litmus test should be: "Where would Jesus most likely be found?"
And yet somehow all three of these groups would honestly answer in their camp.
All I know is that if a man went into any Church today and started flipping over the money changing tables and reacting with the righteous judgment that Christ did in Matthew 21, the first two groups mentioned would accuse Him of not being Christ-like.

Zionist lobby's new orders for Obama
By Alan Hart
After his appointment as Chairman of the United States House Committee on Foreign Affairs, California's representative Howard Berman told The Forward, "Even before I was a Democrat, I was a Zionist." This is the man, one of the Zionist lobby's most influential stooges in Congress, who introduced House Resolution 1734 which gives President Obama his new orders.
Thoroughly disingenuous, the resolution, which was drafted by AIPAC and in my view is an indication of panic on its part, was approved unanimously by the House of Representatives on 15 December. It
- strongly and unequivocally opposes any attempt to seek recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Nations or other international forums;
- calls upon the Administration to continue its opposition to the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state;
- calls upon the Administration to affirm that the United States would deny any recognition, legitimacy, or support of any kind to any unilaterally declared ''Palestinian state'' and would urge other responsible nations to follow suit, and to make clear that any such unilateral declaration would constitute a grievous violation of the principles underlying the Oslo Accords and the Middle East peace process;
- calls upon the Administration to affirm that the United States will oppose any attempt to seek recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Nations or other international forums and will veto any resolution to that end by the United Nations Security Council (my emphasis added);
- calls upon the President and the Secretary of State to lead a high-level diplomatic effort to encourage the European Union and other responsible nations to strongly and unequivocally oppose the unilateral declaration of a Palestinian state or any attempt to seek recognition of a Palestinian state by the United Nations or other international forums; and
- supports the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the achievement of a true and lasting peace through direct negotiations between the parties.
As M.J. Rosenberg predicted (http://america-hijacked.com/2010/12/15/aipacs-palestinian-bashing-bill-rushed-to-floor-today) the Berman bill passed overwhelmingly, actually unanimously, "because that is how things work in a city where policy is driven by campaign contributions – and not just on this issue." He added: "The only difference between how AIPAC lobbyists dictate U.S. Middle East policy and pretty much every other major lobby is that AIPAC works to advance the interests of a foreign country. In other words, comparisons to the National Rifle Association would only be applicable if the gun owners that the NRA claims to represent lived in, say, Greece. Oh, and NRA-backed bills usually take longer than a day to get to the House floor." (My emphasis added).
What Rosenberg thinks and writes is particularly interesting becausein the early 1980s he was editor of AIPAC's weekly newsletter Near East Report.
He noted that as is usual with Berman, "his resolution exclusively blames Palestinians for the collapse of peace talks; not a word of criticism of Israel appears."
He went on: "There is only one reason that Israeli-Palestinian negotiations collapsed. It is the power of the 'pro-Israel lobby', led by AIPAC, which prevents the United States from saying publicly what it says privately: that resolution of a conflict which is so damaging to U.S. interests is consistently being blocked by the intransigence of the Netanyahu government and its determination to maintain the occupation." (My emphasis added).
For now, Rosenberg says, the bottom line is money. "The U.S. government dances to Israel's tune because it is afraid to risk campaign contributions." But he also gives optimism a voice (as I sometimes do).
"It doesn't have to be that way. If the administration and Congress put U.S. interests (and Israel's too) over the craving for campaign contributions, the United States could tell the Israeli government that, from now on, our aid package comes with strings. Like an IMF loan (although aid to Israel is a gift, not a loan), we could say that in exchange for our billions, our UN vetoes of resolutions criticizing Israel, and our silence in the face of war crimes like Gaza, we want Israel to end the occupation within, say, 24 months. And Israel would have to comply because our military assistance is, as AIPAC likes to call it, 'Israel's lifeline.'"
I would like Rosenberg to be right about how Israel's leaders would respond to real American pressure, but I am very far from convinced that he is. As my regular readers know, I think there is a possibility, even a probability, that if real American push came to Zionist shove, the preference of Israel's deluded leaders would be to tell the American president of the moment (and the whole world) to go to hell. Whether or not they would actually do so would depend, I imagine, on the state of Israeli (Jewish) public opinion at the time. If most Israeli Jews were still as brainwashed by Zionist propaganda as they are today, they would probably back the mad men who lead them.
Question: Why do I think that Berman's resolution is an indication of AIPAC panic?
The answer, most of it, is in my last post which was headlined Obama's last card – Will he play it? My main point was that because he does not have to honour the promises made to Netanyahu to secure his delivery of a 90-day freeze on illegal settlement activity on the occupied West Bank, Obama is free to discontinue the presidential practise of vetoing Security Council resolutions which are critical of Israel.
My speculation is that AIPAC drafted House resolution 1734 and then got Berman to rush it through because it feared that Obama is thinking about instructing the US ambassador to the UN to the effect that there will be no further American veto on Security Council resolutions which are critical of Israel and/or call for the recognition of a Palestinian state inside 1967 (pre-war) borders.
So the question waiting for an answer is – Will Obama obey Zionism's latest orders?
Alan Hart has been engaged with events in the Middle East and their global consequences and terrifying implications – the possibility of a Clash of Civilisations, Judeo-Christian v Islamic, and, along the way, another great turning against the Jews – for nearly 40 years…
He's been to war with the Israelis and the Arabs, but the learning experience he values most, and which he believes gave him rare insight, came from his one-to-one private conversations over the years with many leaders on both sides of the conflict. With, for example, Golda Meir, Mother Israel, and Yasser Arafat, Father Palestine. The significance of these private conversations was that they enabled him to be aware of the truth of what leaders really believed and feared as opposed to what they said in public for propaganda and myth-sustaining purposes.
It was because of his special relationships with leaders on both sides that, in 1980, he found himself sucked into the covert diplomacy of conflict resolution…Now Alan is an Institution in himself. Now, Alan is a regular contributor to Opinion Maker.
Alan Hart should know better than anyone else that Obama is AIPAC. His job, as far as, Palestine is concerned – is to convince the world that while Israel want peace – it's the Hamas which doesn't want peace by keep throwing rockets at Israel and refuse to recognize the Jewish occupation as "Jewish State of Israel".
If it passed unanimously that means even Ron Paul voted for it.
Let's not forget who owned Palestine and then personally ensured the creation of an antichrist false "israel" – ENGLAND, who controls the world thru secret societies like the freemasons
So, he's foremost a Zionist, then? Why is he a citizen if his loyalties lie with a foreign nation. Send him to Israel, and then send all of the Israelis to the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in Russia. It's just land, right? The jews certainly have a right to settle there!
Unless they have a pathological love of killing Palestinian infants and uprooting olive trees…and let's not forget killing Americans! They proved that back in '67!
One problem with this artical is that the Zionist have the goods on Obama like his birth certificate and his sexual preferance and one slip up from Obama will have their media ownership going 24/7 spilling the beans on him…Obama wont do NOTHING or anyone else because they have the goods on everyone THEY MAKE SURE OF IT.
it is written….
"A 100 Million man army will confront israel."
….but will the world survive?
What is the price to completely destroy evil?
Peter in the UK is exactly correct.
I am currently re-reading the Old Testament and have reached II Chronicles 25. Up to this point in the TEXT/Scripture I find no Ashkenazim {Japhetic} proselytes to Talmudic Judaism in the Text. In Genesis 49 the Children of Israel are listed, and in Deuteronomy 28 & 32 they are admonished to observe the commandments satutes and judgements, and still there are no JAPHETIC – ASHKENAZIM proselytes to Talmudic Judaism. When exactly did the Children of Israel turn into being "Jewish" ? If in fact the ASHKENAZIM proselytes are in fact GOYIM "JEWS" why would they be called Israel ? The SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN PSYCHOPHANTS in the Media, Banking and the whorehouse called the "CONGRESS" work for the people that pay them. Ipso facto…they don't work for the people of America…that live in the several states…STUPID WILL NEVER CHANGE TRUE…!
Isn't Israel in palestine.How can they outlaw palistine and still have an israel?Where will they put it?Not here I hope
So what are the Muslim lobbyists doing about it in Washington? If a tiny state like Qatar can lobby against all odds and win for holding the FIFA World Cup, why cant they influence the policy makers in USA for a genuine Palestinian State? Perhaps, majority of the Muslim leaders too, like Obama, are the proteges of the Zionist entity. If that is so, then all of us should get our prayer mats out and pray for our mutual salvation.
There are three bills; HR 1731, HR 1734 and HR 1765. The congressman who introduced these bills and every co-sponsor should be voted out at our next opportunity.
Please everyone, read the article in the following link. News media are reporting this vote as "unanimous" but that is not true. There was no roll call and "Fewer than ten Representatives then on the floor voted by "unanimous consent" to adopt the resolution, giving the illusion that the entire House gave its imprimatur to it."

Walking through the halls of Skyline High School is a true experience during an election year. Interspersed with the usual talk about clothes, boyfriends, and homework (that can be expected of any typical high school) is buzz about Obama winning another state, and whether Hillary can make a "comeback."
It has been seen in recent elections that the youth are not a demographic to be overlooked. Just noticing my fellow students and observing their level of awareness is enough to make me truly believe this. Many high schoolers will turn eighteen before November, and some are eligible voters already. In fact I had several classmates vote in the California Primary and many more who plan to vote in the General Election. Even my sister, who will not be living in the United States during the election plans on sending in an absentee ballot.
So my question is this, what is it about the 2008 Presidential Election that is causing such a spark in interest? Continue Reading

Looking for Ceramic Fiber Rope
Hi fellow FB members!
I'm posting to see if any of you builders have any Ceramic Rope left over from your projects that you might be willing to part with.
I have an insulated door that needs ceramic rope all the way around, and Just need a length of rope to finish it.
Anybody out there that can help? If yes, please send me a PM.
Re: Looking for Ceramic Fiber Rope
I don't have any, but you can pick it up anyplace that sells fireplaces or wood stoves. It wan't too expensive, from what I recall--like maybe $10 for a good length of it.
Re: Looking for Ceramic Fiber Rope
Hi azatty,
Thank you for the tip. I did exactly that! I found a local wood stove store, called them up, and they had the ceramic fiberglass rope in stock (they actually had various widths of rope in stock). So I went out and got a length of rope for around $8. And I picked up some high temp glue to stick the rope to the door and black high temp paint for the inside of the door to protect the metal.
I'm about to finish my door. Thank you, azatty!!
The FB community is amazing!

Starting tonight, Wayne Street will be aglow with holiday spirit.
As has been the tradition for 27 years, residents of Wayne Street in Sandusky will light the candle luminaries that line the sidewalks and boulevard.
Two years after the tradition began, the Wayne Street luminaries were pictured on an American Greetings Christmas card.
"It was beautiful. We bought as many as we could. Now you can't even find one -- it's history," said Linda Howell, the Wayne Street resident who organizes the Christmas luminaries.
Linda and her husband, Richard Howell, have lived on Wayne Street for 33 years. It's the neighborhood where they raised their three sons.
About 28 households help set up more than 800 luminaries, which are milk jugs with candles lit inside them. Sand at the bottom of the jugs keeps them from blowing away.
The tradition started when Anne Wesels, who lived across the street from the Howells for years, saw similar luminaries in Florida and brought the idea home.
Howell and Wesels started the tradition with their children.
"It was very cold, and it was very windy," Wesels remembered with a laugh.
"It's grown from there," Howell said.
"I think it did give everybody something to look forward to," Wesels said. She's spending the holiday in Florida, where she, too, has started lighting luminaries.
"It made our neighborhood very, very close," she said.
The luminaries will also be lit Monday and Tuesday -- Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Letters are sent to all the neighborhood residents on Thanksgiving Day to let them know the luminaries will be lit, and also to invite them to a celebratory pot luck.
This year the neighbors will gather for a progressive dinner on the night the luminaries are lit, Howell said.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — When designing product lines, one important decision marketing and manufacturing managers must consider is whether to use common or product-specific components. While the use of common components can reduce manufacturing costs, firms have traditionally shied away from that strategy over concerns of intensifying what scholars call "product cannibalization."
But according to research from two University of Illinois business professors, commonality can actually reduce product line cannibalization, a finding that could allow firms to redesign their product lines and improve profits.
When consumer preference is "nondominating," commonality and its associated cost savings can help firms design better product lines with common components and attributes, says research from Dilip Chhajed and Yunchuan "Frank" Liu, professors of business administration at Illinois.
"People in marketing are afraid of firms using common components for their products because that means that the products lose their uniqueness, what differentiates them from the competition," Chhajed said. "But it turns out that commonality can indeed relieve cannibalization in product lines, which means marketing managers should be encouraged to pursue it."
"It seems counterintuitive, but employing commonality can actually soften product line cannibalization," Liu said. "So managers should consider it, even though it runs counter to the conventional marketing wisdom, both in practice and in academia."
The research, co-written with Kilsun Kim, of Sogang University, in Seoul, South Korea, also debunks a crucial assumption long-held by scholars that one consumer segment's preference for a product's attributes dominates another's preference structure.
When consumer preference is "nondominating" – that is, no single attribute of a product dominates across the spectrum of consumer preferences – commonality and its associated cost savings can help firms design better product lines with common components and attributes, and thus improve profits.
"This suggests that firms are more likely to choose a common attribute that exhibits a large potential cost savings, and that the characteristics of the consumer market are relatively less important," said Chhajed, who also is the associate head and executive director of the master's programs in the department of business administration. "Our analysis of commonality for consumer segments with nondominating consumer preference structure shows that the commonality strategy exhibits much more diverse effects."
"Marketing managers think a lot about product cannibalization," Liu said. "If consumers have a choice about products, they'll switch, and those products will cannibalize each other. So marketing managers think, 'Let's differentiate the products so that there is a clear choice for consumers, so they don't cannibalize each other.' That's the traditional view. But that overlooks the possibility that consumers can be nondominating, or that consumers can have wildly different tastes."
For some goods, there is a dominating consumer preference. However, for other product categories, consumers can have very different tastes. But such "nondominating" preference structures are found for many products, the researchers say.
Take the iPod, for example.
"Some consumers like the style and don't worry as much about the storage capacity," Liu said. "Another segment worries about the capacity over the style."
Or food.
"Some consumers like taste, while others prefer certain health aspects," Liu said. "It's a nondominating consumer structure because consumers value different attributes."
Under a nondominating preference structure, there is no simple way to strictly rank-order the consumer preferences, because consumers will exhibit different preference ordering for different attributes, Chhajed said.
"We claim that a nondominating structure is quite common in practice since a dominating preference structure entails restrictive strict ordering of preference among segments for all attributes," he said.
But a careful examination of the consumer preference structure in a particular market is necessary before marketing managers adopt the commonality strategy. So marketing managers should examine how their preference structure may have changed, and how dynamic the change is, the researchers say.
"I think marketing managers need to look at differing consumer tastes," Liu said. "Consumer tastes can change. Consumer taste is very dynamic."
But if you don't do it correctly, the strategy could backfire, "because every object then looks the same," Chhajed said.
The research will appear in a forthcoming issue of the journal Marketing Science.

A VPS is really a virtual machine supplied by an online hosting service. A VPS, although running in software on a single physical computer as other customers' virtual machines, is people functionally equal to another physical computer, is devoted towards the individual customer's needs, has got the privacy of the separate physical computer, and could be set up to operate server software.
The idea behind server virtualization is really a specific example of the identical concepts that brought to the introduction of time-discussing and multiprogramming. Generally, client customers often request for computer assets inside a "rapid" fashion, demanding fast-as-possible reaction to demands, however entering lengthy periods of no activity when they examine the outcomes. Throughout these idle periods, the device's assets may be used to service demands using their company clients.
This model makes more effective utilization of the computer's assets, lowering the time the machine is idle, no matter user designs. Additionally, it enables the customers to talk about assets, save files on the hard disk or alternate utilizing a printer.

Where did you get this from? Their traditional wings are naked and done in dedicated fryers. All of their sauces except two are gluten-free.
Of course there's always a chance of CC, but there are in fact things we can eat there.
I was under the same impression. Last year we got a BWB gift card that we gave to the inlaws 'cause we were too afraid to use it.
Maybe we should look into it again--my DS14's favorite food is wings.

This comes as no surprise though, as he is widely regarded as one of the few exceptionally gifted artists in the music scene.

Tom Novy released his first record 'I House You' in 1995, which directly entered the top 10 of the German Dance Charts. Only one year later he gained international reputation with his single 'Superstar', which climbed into the various international Top 20 charts. The beginning of the naughties saw Tom's breakthrough into the UK market. His Top 20 hit 'Pumpin' was followed by the release of his Ministry of Sound Annual Compilation, making him the first German artist in this series. Tom's excellent taste in music and forward thinking musical talent and vision has been appreciated by many other bands and musicians. He has remixed and produced for 10CC, Backstreet Boys, DJ Thomilla, Erick Morillo, Jimmy Sommerville to name but a few. Not to be outdone, he has hosted several TV-shows, among them 'Dance Floor Charts', 'Streetlife', 'Battle of DJs' and 'Nightlife' on MTV, as well as the 'Mac Chart-Show' on Pro 7. Tom currently resides in Germany, where he maintains a weekly radio show on FFM as well as a hit show on Radio Energy Munich, which he has hosted for over ten years and is broadcasted internationally.

THE internet's underlying technology can be harnessed to let people exchange secret messages, perhaps allowing free speech an outlet in oppressive regimes.
So says a team of steganographers at the Institute of Telecommunications in Warsaw, Poland. Steganography is the art of hiding a message in an openly available medium. For example, you can subtly change the pixels in an image in a way that is undetectable to the eye but carries meaning to anyone who knows the pre-arranged coding scheme.
Wojciech Mazurczyk, along with Krzysztof Szczypiorski and Milosz Smolarczyk, have already worked out how to sneak messages into internet phone calls, and now the Warsaw team have turned their attention to the internet's transmission control protocol (TCP).
Web, file transfer, email and peer-to-peer networks all use TCP, which ensures that data packets are received securely by making the sender wait until the receiver returns a "got it" message. If ...

Wow. K Rod is on a severe downturn. Falling off the mound, overthrowing many pitches. Boo'd off the field.
In the end, I like to be more sarcastic than "sky is falling" though. The happy police is probably as annoying to this thread as the debbie downer ones.
ANYWAYS.... The Reds have definately looks more competent this inning so I'll save my sarcastic criticism until Cairo gets up.

Where currently stationed:
Previous duty stations:
- Go to the dirt track. One night when we first got here we were sitting in the backyard and we heard this rumbling car sound… over and over. So the husband googled it and what do you know?! We are less than a mile from an awesome little dirt track where there are races every Saturday.
- Go to Atlanta. I know it's not technically in my current city… but it is 2 hours away and hands down the most gorgeous downtown I've ever been to. There are places to go like the World of Coca Cola museum and the aquarium. We were there one weekend and the town was hosting like 3 events downtown that weekend. There is ALWAYS something to do.
- Go for a drive. Georgia in general is gorgeous. Big trees, red dirt, interesting people and there is always something to look at. You turn the music up and just go. Plus my husband is the best at finding interesting random areas without trying too hard.

St. Pete police officer cleared in Dawson killing
Seán Kinane and Lisa Marzilli
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Police administrators have cleared St. Petersburg Police officer Terrance Nemeth of all wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Javon Dawson in June.
Nemeth had previously been cleared of wrongdoing by Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe. His supervisors were looking to see whether Nemeth had violated any departmental policy, while McCabeâs review focused on whether he broke any laws.
Both investigations concluded he was justified in shooting Dawson after the teen allegedly pointed a weapon in his direction at a graduation party. WMNF spoke this afternoon with Nyabinga Dzinbahwe, press secretary for the Uhuru movement.
âWeâre not surprised because it was the same old process, the behind closed doors, good old boy network type of situation that has in the past continuously justified these murders of African teenagers in the city of St. Petersburg.â
âWeâre going to continue to struggle for justice. Itâs not a surprise for us that police department has justified themselves again in the murder of an African child. Weâre going to continue the work that weâve been doing in organizing in the community.â
âThe struggle for justice for Javon Dawson is not over. We cannot stand by and allow these attacks on our community to continue, because if we do, then Javon Dawson will not be the last.âcomments powered by Disqus

Select Industry
White, Silver Most Popular Car Colors in the World
White/white pearl has emerged as the fastest growing color to tie with silver as the world's leading automotive color choices, according to the 2011 DuPont Automotive Color Popularity Report, released yesterday.
A substantial increase in the popularity of white/white pearl globally in 2011 has enabled it to surpass longstanding rivals black and gray, joining silver at the top of the world color ranks in this year's report. The DuPont report, in its 59th year, is the longest running and largest of its kind in the industry. It includes automotive color popularity rankings and regional trends from 11 leading automotive regions of the world.
In 2010, white/white pearl was tied for third with gray in the world color ranks with just 16% share, but its ongoing popularity in North America, combined with a surge in popularity in Europe, China, Korea, South America and South Africa, has helped to increase its position in 2011 to 22% globally. Black and gray dropped to third and fourth, respectively, in this year's report with red and blue strengthening and holding positions in fifth and sixth place.
The top global vehicle colors in DuPont's report are as follows:
1. White/White Pearl and Silver – tie, 22%
3. Black/Black Effect – 20%
4. Gray – 13%
5. Red – 7%
6. Blue – 6%
7. Brown/Beige – 5%
8. Green – 2%
9. Yellow/Gold – 1%
10. Others – 2%
"While white/white pearl has historically been a popular color for vehicles, we've seen a bigger shift in its popularity this year than DuPont expected," said Nancy Lockhart, DuPont color marketing manager.
Silver and black have long been recognized in the top three for color popularity. However, in the past few years, white/white pearl has been steadily growing in popularity outside of North America. In 2011, it jumped by more than four percentage points, Lockhart said.
"There has been increased consumer acceptance for white, and our OEM customers are meeting consumer demand for the clean look it brings to vehicle design," she said. "Classic white and pearlescent white effects are inspiring luxury design."
The report also includes details about automotive color popularity rankings and global regional trends, such as:
DuPont 2011 Trend Show "Sense of Color" Showcases Emotions and Dynamics of Color
In addition to its 59th Global Automotive Color Popularity Report, DuPont develops an annual color trend show to share with the world's leading automotive manufacturers as they seek to develop color palettes for future vehicles. This year's trend show, Sense of Color, showcases the emotions and dynamics of color. The senses play an important role in understanding if a color is loud or quiet, powerful or somber, exotic or sophisticated. DuPont Performance Coatings demonstrates the influences of colors by how tasteful, touching reminiscent or calming a color will react with consumer preferences and moods. The 2011 DuPont trend show is segmented into four groups: "Déjà vu," "Sound of Silence," "Touch of Blue" and "Matter of Taste."

Words from Erika Hess
Dr. Caron's passion for teaching was evident during each class. He challenged me to dig deeper, think bigger and write more professionally. I can say without a doubt he is one of the few teachers that challenged me so diligently and to this day, I am grateful. Although the last day I saw Dr. Caron was when I completed my Family Psychology class, his memory has remained with me. I no longer see families and relationships through the same lens, or my own family for that matter. Everyday I am reminded of the truths he revealed to me about family dynamics. I constantly find myself bringing him and his lectures up in conversation. He completely altered the way I will pursue my career. I guess you could say he changed a life. But it appears that he had that effect on many. I am blessed to have known him.

We hate to be the ringing in Red Bull's ear but… there are just five days of testing left to get the RB10 working. Just three weeks on Sunday before you have to race it.
If you can qualify it that is; the champions are currently still six seconds off the pace.
The pace in today's testing in Bahrain — day three of four, with just four more to come in another week's time also in Bahrain — was again set by a Mercedes-engined car. This time it was Lewis Hamilton, whose 1:34.2 eclipsed McLaren driver Kevin Magnussen's 1.34.9 of yesterday, which in turn beat Force India's Nico Hulkenberg's best of 1.36.8 on Wednesday.
There's one more day to go in Bahrain. Anyone fancy a bet on a Mercedes-engined car not topping the time sheets again tomorrow? Maybe a Williams this time? Williams split today between drivers Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas, but didn't appear to be looking to set fast lap times. Indeed Bottas spent most of the morning doing pit-stop practices.
That fact alone will tell you how far behind Red Bull are on the learning curve teams are facing with 2014's 1.6-litre turbo-hybrids. Hamilton, who spent most of the afternoon fine-tuning set-ups on the W05, is less than 1.5secs off Bahrain's 2013 pole position pace. Mercedes, like McLaren and Ferrari among others, have run race simulations. Williams are practicing pit stops.
Red Bull managed just another 28 laps today before hauling Daniel Ricciardo out of the car, pulling down the garage door and tearing the RB10 to pieces. Again.
Rubbing salt in Red Bull's wounds – and making it ever more explicit that the problem is the car and not just the Renault engine – are the 98 laps Swedish rookie Marcus Ericsson completed in the Caterham CT05. Once observers had torn their bloodshot eyes away from the CT05's hideous nose, almost all focused on the car's simply enormous air intakes. It's now starting to look like Caterham's caution was correct: like Red Bull, fellow Renault runners Toro Rosso and Lotus continue to struggle to get their cars to run reliably and run long.
Still, unlike Red Bull at least they've lapped under 1:40 this week.
Ah, Lotus and that odd looking E22. Today was Pastor Maldonado's official debut for the team. It didn't go well, Pastor twice causing the test to be stopped and managing only 26 laps all day.
And Ferrari? Well, the fastest and longest running Ferrari-engined car of the day was Esteban Gutierrez in the Sauber. The Mexican managed 96 laps (second only to Jenson Button's 103) and recorded the fourth best time, just under three seconds slower than Hamilton, and behind Button (second) and Massa (third).
'Works' Ferrari driver (funny how this year's overt emphasis on engines — sorry 'power units' — seems to have reinstated the divide between 'works' and 'non-works' teams) Kimi Raikkonen did not have a great day on his return to the cockpit of the F14-T. Having shaded Fernando Alonso in Jerez, he never got the chance to match the Spaniard's promising race-simulation of yesterday.
Kimi's total of 44 laps was, say Ferrari, the result of problems with the car's telemetry. And we must assume that was indeed the case: it's not like Kimi to not to call a telemetry failure a shovel given half a chance.
Last day tomorrow, when we'll wrap up all the times of the week in a vague attempt to give you some indication of what might be on the cards when these astonishing new cars turn wheels in anger in Australia in only three weeks.

When a character or creature is flying, and that creature decides to ascend at a 45 degree angle, the rules states that it moves at half speed? Do the rules for diagonal square counting still apply when moving up diagonally in this way?
No. Since the game is generally assumed to be played in two dimensions, even when representing three dimensional combat, the rules for ascending are handled by the speed reduction instead of asking players and GMs to ascertain the diagonal vertical movement.
