2013 Ford Transit Connect Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2013 Ford Transit Connect XL Cargo Minivan at this time
2013 Ford Transit Connect XL Cargo Minivan cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

2013 Ford Transit Connect
Cummings Mobility Conversion & Supply (Cummings) is recalling certain model year 2006-2014 Ford E-150, E-250, E-350, Chevrolet Express, 2006-2008 Dodge Sprinter, and 2009-2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and 2013 Ford Transit Connect vehicles manufactured January 1, 2006, to October 8, 2014, equipped with certain model S2005, S2010, S5005, S5010, S5505, and S5510 wheelchair lifts manufactured by Ricon Corporation after January 1, 2006. The platform side plate of the affected wheelchair lifts may crack.
If the platform side plates crack, the lift platform can separate from the lift and come to rest against the vehicle's lift door. When the doors are opened, the platform may fall out, increasing the risk of injury to the lift operator.
Cummings will notify owners to take buses to a Ricon dealer or service center who will install supplemental platform support bumpers. Any platform that has already started cracking will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began January 13, 2015. Owners may contact Cumming's customer service at 1-800-639-5438 or Ricon customer service at 1-800-322-2884. Cumming's number for this recall is 14E-041.

Seems it's always something whenever the Thunder and Grizzlies go at it.
Even when there shouldn't be.
Kevin Durant scored a game-high 27 points to lead Oklahoma City to a 106-89 win over Memphis on Thursday night inside Chesapeake Energy Arena. But even a 17-point win somehow was filled with drama, both on the court and on the sideline in the second half.

Acupuncture is an ancient practice used to stimulate the body's ability to heal itself and promote well-being. Small needles are placed in very specific areas based on your needs. Ancient medicine believes that the needles help to relieve blocked energy pathways. Modern medicine believes the process stimulates the nervous system to release beneficial chemicals. Regardless of the conflict in theory, acupuncture is gradually becoming an accepted option for a variety of health issues. It is typically used in conjunction with modern medicine for the best results.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) on the other hand, is a very modern medical procedure. In IVF, an egg and sperm are combined for fertilization in a laboratory dish. If an IVF procedure is successful, an embryo transfer moves the embryo to a woman's uterus. It is a complicated procedure that can be influenced by many factors. The success rates can be anywhere from 10-35% depending on individuals. Research is ongoing to help improve the success rates of this procedure.
Researchers gathered information about acupuncture use with IVF from seven previous studies. The results, published in the BMJ (British Medical Journal) , showed that pregnancy rates improved with the addition of acupuncture.
About the Study
To evaluate the effect of acupuncture on the success of in vitro fertilization, researchers reviewed and combined results from 7 randomized trials. The studies followed a total of 1,366 women having one treatment of in vitro fertilization. Within one day of embryo transfer the women had one of the following:
- Needle acupuncture
- Sham acupuncture (A simulated procedure so the patient believes she is receiving a treatment. This helps eliminate the possibility of a placebo effect)
- No acupuncture.
The women were then followed until the end of their pregnancies. Acupuncture did help increase the rates of success for in vitro fertilization.
- In an analysis of 1,366 women, pregnancy was achieved in 32% of those who had acupuncture and 26.7% of those without.
- In an analysis of 690 women, pregnancies continued beyond 12 weeks in 30% of those who had acupuncture and 18.9% of those without.
- Finally, in analysis of 226 women, live births occurred in 30.6% of those who had acupuncture and 19% of those without.
How Does This Affect You?
Every year 10-15% of couples seek medical help for infertility. Techniques that improve the success rate are important to decrease the length, cost, and stress of these procedures. This review has shown the potential to improve conception rates with no negative side effects. Future studies should provide more details. If you are currently undergoing IVF, talk to your physician about using acupuncture.

May 6, 1941Three months after the USO was founded, Bob Hope led a group of celebrities to perform for airmen stationed at March Field (now March Air Force Base) in California—the beginning of a great tradition. Pictured here, Hope in September 1942 at the USO in Fairbanks, Alaska.
March 1942Comedian Joe E. Brown was the first celebrity to tour front–line bases when he went to Alaska and the Aleutian Islands and the first celebrity to tour the China–Burma–India theater of operations (pictured). His own son was killed in a military plane crash in California in 1942.
1943Bob Hope led his first USO overseas wartime tour, taking Frances Langford, Tony Romano and Jack Pepper to bases in England, North Africa, Sicily and Ireland. Over the course of his career, Hope appeared in or hosted almost 200 USO performances, including annual Christmas tours for 35 consecutive years.
1944–1945Entertainers found an audience and a stage wherever they could. Bing Crosby, shown here, performed on the back of a truck on the "cow pasture circuit" in France.
May 1945By V–E Day, the USO was producing as many as 700 shows a day around the world. Performers ranged from the most famous faces in Hollywood, like the Andrews Sisters and Marlene Dietrich (pictured), to those just beginning their careers.
October 1945Even as World War II ended, thousands of troops remained overseas–and the USO went out to them. Here, Danny Kaye in Japan, October 1945.
1940sLena Horne, talking with a serviceman and a USO volunteer (date and location unknown). Horne was outspoken in calling for better treatment of African Americans in the military, Hollywood and other aspects of U.S. life.

1952USO tours ramped up in Korea where hundreds of performances were staged; a USO Camp Show took place somewhere in Korea every single day during 1953. Here, Johnny Grant, a lifetime USO supporter and later known as the Honorary Mayor of Hollywood, performed in the "Buffalo Bowl" in Korea.
1954First USO performance broadcast on still–new television: Bob Hope and Anita Ekberg in a Top of the World Show at Thule Air Force Base in Greenland.
1954Marilyn Monroe visited the troops in Korea shortly after her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. She reportedly said that their reaction made her realize she had really made it as a star.
1956USO entertainment carried on throughout the decade, after Korea, almost anyplace U.S. troops were stationed. Here, Bob Hope introduced Ginger Rogers to troops in Alaska.
1960Among the first performers on a USO tour to Vietnam: Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Long–time supporters of the USO, they met while performing together at a USO show at Edwards Air Force Base in the 1940s.
1964First USO Bob Hope Christmas tour to Vietnam. It was later learned that the Viet Cong attempted to bomb the hotel where the group was to stay.

1966The USO and the NFL relationship – still going strong–kicked off with Johnny Unitas, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff and Willie Davis on a USO tour to Vietnam. Other NFL greats followed, like Pittsburgh Steeler Andy Russell, a Vietnam vet, who was given an M–16 and rode shotgun from the airport! More than 165 NFL players, coaches, and officials have visited our service men and women.
1966When "the Duke" John Wayne visited Vietnam, he headed for what was known as the "boonies" to rub shoulders with the troops in the field.
1967These boots are made....Nancy Sinatra and a GI in Vietnam.
1968Wayne Newton traveled to Vietnam on the first of his USO tours in 1966 and 1968. He is known to follow up with the families of troops he meets to let them know their sons and daughters are doing well–as he did back in the 1960s (shown, playing electric guitar) and he still does today.
December 1970Cincinnati Reds super–star catcher Johnny Bench joined Bob Hope in Korea and Vietnam. Their skit "Don't Count Me Out," a parody on baseball, was a great hit. Some troops spent the night at Curry Amphitheater in Long Binh to get a seat for their show there.
1972Sammy Davis, Jr., described his USO tours as among the most exciting and satisfactory experiences in his career.
early 1970sMartha Raye was another frequent entertainer in Vietnam, visiting nine times, often spending several months in one visit, and was even issued a uniform.

Since the USO's inception, thousands of celebrities have boosted the morale of troops.
What better way to show them we care, than by traveling to the Persian Gulf on a USO tour and rocking out America's soldiers. The USO has a rich history of delivering a touch of home to our men and women in uniform, and Saving Abel is honored to be a part of that legacy.
Saving Abel
Playing our music on the front lines and in front of thousands of America's troops is an opportunity of a lifetime. We've toured all around the world, but nothing compares to what we've seen on our USO tour. Being able to hear first-hand what it's like to live in a combat zone and get a true sense of what it means to protect and serve, it is truly amazing.

Rays 2012 thread
Posted 01 March 2012 - 02:08 PM
Matt Moore is battling a lower abdominal strain, though it's not thought to be serious.
File this under "Not the best way to win a roster spot". BP candidate Matt Bush drilled Evan Longoria on the right hand with a pitch during a intrasquad game. Longoria will get precautionary x-rays but it is also not thought to be serious.

Longoria's hand is better, but still swollen. Looking more like a Tuesday return.

#Rays Longoria says he will take it easy with his bruised hand, took dry swings today: "It's slowly going in the right direction.''
Posted 09 March 2012 - 08:26 AM
If nothing else, David Price may be the winner for the oddest injury of the spring.
Price said the reason he had the neck spasm that forced him to leave the game was that he toweled himself off too vigorously between innings.
"I was just drying my head off in between innings,'' he said. "It's happened to me two times before. The towel just catches the back of my head and it pulls my neck forward. I just felt it a little bit in back of my neck and just wanted to be cautious with it. ... It's spasms, there's a little pop and it just spasms up and gets a little tight.''
Price said he should okay in two-three days and doesn't expect it to impact his next start.
He was scheduled for three innings today.
He had similar issues last spring, and in September last season and pitched through it.
"I'll get a good night's sleep tonight and I should be all right tomorrow,'' he said. "I pull it over my head and I pull it forward and I guess it just catches like the back of my head. I don't know.''
Other updates
Here are a couple of updates:
* Rays 3B Evan Longoria took swings at flipped balls in the batting tunnels, and stepped into the cage against live pitching just to track balls. If his bruised right hand tolerated the flips well, he will be cleared for the first of two on-field batting practice sessions on Friday.
* OF Sam Fuld said his wrist felt find in his batting practice session and said he was set to make his exhibition debut Friday: "Ready, able, of avail.''
* DH Luke Scott was tentative in the cage and said while his surgically repaired right shoulder felt "good,'' he was "definitely not ready" for game action due to his mechanics, specifically with his front hip.
* LHP Matt Moore looked sharp and healthy in his throwing session, with no limitations from the mild abdominal strain that kept him off the mound for eight days.

Rays CF B.J. Upton said his lower back was a little sore but otherwise he was okay after a scary collision with LF Desmond Jennings in today's exhibition, and expects to miss only a couple days.
"Definitely going to be sore, but other than that shouldn't have any issues,'' Upton said. "I don't think it'll be anything that's going to put me out for a while.''
Jennings said he was fine and could play Thursday. "It just kind of scared me more than hurt,'' he said.
The two were running full out toward a ball hit by Miami's Austin Kearns; both called it, neither heard the other, and they collided.
"Luckily we saw each other and were able to brace for the hit,'' Upton said. "If not, I think we hit face to face.''
Upton said they don't know where they actually hit.
Asked if he now knew why Jennings had been a Div. I college football recruit, Upton said he did, "but I think I held my own in the collision.''

Saying Tampa Bay Rays RHP Matt Bush is a "danger to the community" and a "flight risk," Charlotte County circuit judge Nicholas Thompson set the reliever's bond for $1.015 million combined for the seven charges in Saturday hearing.
Bush's court date is scheduled for May 21.
Bush, arrested Thursday on charges of DUI and leaving the scene of an accident that caused serious bodily injury, appeared on close circuit TV, somber as Thompson addressed him. Bush's attorney Russell Kirshy argued for a much smaller bond, saying the 26-year-old is indigent, with a $78,000 minor league salary and just $2,000 in the bank. Kirshy told the judge the Rays had discussed potentially setting Bush up in a rehab facility in the Tampa Bay area, so he can get better.
With Kirshy expecting Bush not posting bond, he'll likely be in jail for a while.
"He understands his career is probably in jeopardy," Kirshy told the court. "And his life is probably in jeopardy."

I wouldn't be surprised if the Rays claim Brandon Allen off waivers. They could send Vogt back to Durham and stick Allen in his role and have a future first base option.
Rays claim 1B/OF Brandon Allen off of waivers. Being out of options, he will need to stay in the majors.
Hey, I was right.
Seems like he'll get plenty of PH opportunities PHing for either Sean Rodriguez or Molina/Gimenez/backup C du jour. Plus he can backup Peña at 1B, Scott at DH, and play some LF if they need to rest Jennings or Upton.

Brandon Gomes gets the loss in a 3 run 6th. Matt Joyce's solo HR and Evan Longoria's 2-run HR account pace the offense as TB only manages 5 hits. Stephen Vogt was sent down to make room for the returning BJ Upton. After the game Reid Brignac was sent to AAA to make room for the recently acquired Brandon Allen.
RHP Kyle Farnsworth (elbow) said he's feeling better, and is hoping to begin throwing in a week. He's expected to miss the first four to six weeks of the season. C Jose Lobaton said an MRI Monday on his right shoulder revealed only inflammation, and he's been encouraged with how he's felt - hoping to throw in the next few days.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- The Democratic majority in the Maine Legislature is about to try one more time to pass a major expansion of the state's Medicaid program.
On Monday, Governor LePage vetoed the Medicaid expansion bill. Now House and Senate will try to override the Governor's veto. An override requires a two-thirds vote in each chamber, and that can only happen if there are sufficient Republican votes.
The expansion would be paid for by the federal government's Affordable Care Act. Supporters say it would provide health insurance coverage to 70,000 people, most of whom don't have it now.
And the federal government would pay the full cost for the first three year of the expansion. After that, coverage would reduce to 90% of the cost - still a much higher rate of federal payment than those currently covered by Medicaid. But opponents say the state would still have to pick up some of the costs, and they complain Medicaid, or Maine Care, is too big and expensive already.
Speaker of the House Mark Eves (D-North Berwick) says he is hoping "Republicans will do the right thing" and vote for the expansion. Eves says the added money will help more people get medical care and reduce the amount of charity card now paid for by Maine hospitals.
But House Republican Leader Rep. Ken Fredette (R-Newport) says he does not believe there will be enough GOP votes to pass the Medicaid bill. Fredette and other Republicans say the state needs to take more time to negotiate a better deal with the federal government, which they claim some other states have been allowed to do.
Rep. Eves says they could bring the bill up m the House at any time, but that he is still working with individual members, trying to secure additional votes.

In a recent announcement Apple mentioned that they are finally set to bring multitasking to the iPhone OS 4. One of the biggest complaints from iPhone users has been the lack of multitasking that users of other smartphones have recently been able to enjoy. Apple says they have finally been able to figure out how to implement third party multitasking without hurting performance or battery life.
To get the new multitasking feature to work you just double click the home button to see a list of your apps and then you can just tap to switch between the apps that are running. The new system actually runs the services apps need in the background which means the apps do not need to do this themselves. While this does not make it true multitasking it is still very effective in getting the job done.
There are seven services that the new system can run in the background. These services include background audio, Voice over IP, which means you can receive calls in the background, locations services for GPS and social networking, push notifications, task completion so that you can finish downloading in the background and fast app switching which allows apps to sleep and resume instantly.
The one service that is notably missing from the new operating system is the ability to manage a conversation using IM or Twitter. This might be a big omission for some people but the vast majority of iPhone users should be pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness of this new iPhone OS update. One downside to the latest update is that this new OS will only be available for the 3GS and 3rd generation iPod Touches. The 3G and below will not be able to support the new OS due to a hardware limitation.

Coming Soon - Hero Video
Posted on February 12, 2008As heard this morning (23rd April) from the mouth of Marketing Matt, the "Hero" video is complete and in house, with dubs for 'the masses' coming tomorrow. Meaning, this beast should be online shortly. For those of you currently asking "what the fuck are you talking about?", let's clarify - We previously wrote that Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger wrote and recorded a song called "Hero", for use in the upcoming Spiderman soundtrack. A video was subsequently shot for this tune the day after recording took place. And that is the video we speak of... For more detail, read on: Over the course of two days last month (Mar 21/22, to be exact), a Chad Kroeger-penned song titled "Hero" was recorded for the upcoming Spiderman movie/soundtrack. Chad, who shared vocal duties with Saliva frontman Josey Scott, also contributed the guitar and bass tracks for the song. Matt Cameron of Soundgarden, and more recently Pearl Jam and Wellwater Conspiracy fame, played drums. A video for this track was shot later in the weekend (Mar 24, to be exact) after the recording sessions took place. Matt Cameron was unexpectedly called home, and did not make the shoot. Jeremy Taggart of Our Lady Peace took Matt's place behind the kit for the video. Also joining Chad and Josey in the video was Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger. The movie itself, which stars the beautiful Kirsten Dunst, is due out is the USA on May 3rd.

I'm a new convert, and I just searched the forums for any mention of the Philippines, and found none.
Is there a Philippine chapter/church/group of FSM? If there isn't, can anyone help me start one? I would really appreciate the help. Also, would anyone like to post any links on where I could find any literature I should read before starting a new chapter/church/group/whatever? I've already downloaded the pamphlets. :D Also, I'm also seeking a way on acquiring one of the FSM books, but I have found that the local bookstores don't carry them. (Please note, I'm not in any way materially wealthy, so buying online would be impossible for me.)

Submission Nokia Announces Profit Warning->
jones_supa writes: "Shares in the Finnish phone maker Nokia plunged by 15% on Tuesday as the company warned that it may make no profit on phone sales in the quarter to the end of June, and that overall phone sales will be "substantially below" its earlier forecast of €6.1bn to €6.6bn. Carolina Milanesi, mobile phones analyst for the research company Gartner, said Tuesday's warnings could mark the low point for Nokia, which has not made a loss in its handset division for more than a decade."

NORFOLK While Norwood-Norfolk Central school board members debate the merits of having a police presence in the school, one thing is clear: the district would have to pay for it.
Superintendent Elizabeth A. Kirnie told the Board of Education last week that it does not appear the town of Norfolk would help cover the cost.
They think its a very good idea and we should pay for it. I did not hear the town supervisor say, Were going to step up, she said, noting that the school still has an almost daily trooper presence without having a full-time person in the school.
Town Supervisor Charles A. Pernice said later that the town does not have the means.
We dont have it in our budget, he said. Theres no way the towns going to cover any of the cost.
While Mr. Pernice said town police officers have provided some monitoring of the school, they cant do it full-time. Discussions have focused on hiring a retired police officer, which would be more cost-efficient because pension and benefit costs would not have to be paid.
The position is estimated to cost $22,000 to $24,000 per year.
Were not looking for a true school resource officer. There is the potential that as a guy retires, he can be put in there part time at a lot less cost, Mr. Pernice said. My motivation was to try and get somebody up there as much as we could when the doors were open. I think the presence of an officer there certainly makes somebody think twice about doing something stupid.
But school board members say they want more information before they make a decision.
Id like more information on what the person can and cant do, what that person would actually bring to the table, George D. Fulk said.
He suggested school officials might check with other schools that have a police presence to find out that persons job description.
Thomas W. Scott agreed.
It seems to me we need a lot more information and a specific plan about what the person or persons is going to be doing. I think we need something in place to establish, Heres what youre going to be doing, he said.
The last time Norwood-Norfolk had a school resource officer was 2008, when now-retired state Trooper Kenneth J. Juddy Plumb split his time between Norwood-Norfolk and Parishville-Hopkinton.
Mr. Plumb, who began as school resource officer in 2005 and retired in 2008, was not replaced.
Mr. Pernice suggested there needs to be some police presence in the school to prevent incidents. However, board President Jon D. Hazen questioned how much value a police presence would have if the person were in one wing and an incident occurred at the other end of the school.
The discussion was sparked by an incident Jan. 25. State police charged Steven R. Wells, 60, with third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, first-degree harassment and fourth-degree stalking following an early morning incident at the school. He was wearing a shoulder holster with a black Desert Eagle BB pistol, which is considered an imitation pistol, beneath his jacket, troopers said.
Mr. Wells arrived at the school at 7:20 a.m. seeking to deliver a package to a teacher. The teacher told police he had been stalking her. He was taken into custody without incident.

The Navy has a thing for publicizing mishaps. For good reason, the more Sailors are aware of prior accidents, the less likely they will occur in the future. Every month while deployed, the safety officer would send around an email detailing each and every mishap that happened in theater.
Naval aviation magazines are full of them, often written by the pilot, mech, or 'FO who was at fault. Mishap, the Navy Safety MC, speaks about Preventing the Preventable:

FOUND by Kateri in Chicago, Illinois
Found on the sidewalk in my neighborhood in April of 2012. They didn't show up on the scan, but the paper actually has dusty shoeprints on it from being walked over. It's been posted on my refrigerator since then, but I'm moving and it has to go. I thought FOUND would make a nice home for this masterpiece of the strange.

The plan for Lucas Duda at Triple-A Buffalo
According to MetsBlog's Meredith Perri, Lucas Duda will play both first base and left field while in the minor leagues.
Collins said Duda gets down on himself hard when he struggles and feels beaten at times, which gets him into trouble.
Collins took the blame for putting Duda in a position he was unfamiliar with in right field, but Duda's poor offensive performance was impacting the team – he wants Duda to find his stroke and feel comfortable while with Buffalo.
Collins said Duda is very disappointed to be heading to the minor leagues, but said he was determined to return to the Major Leagues.
Duda was hitting just .241 with a .335 on-base percentage, 12 home runs and 44 RBI with 42 walks and 94 strikeouts in 307 at-bats over 89 games this season.

Intelligence is a property of mind that encompasses many related mental abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn.

- ...you seemed to be listening to me, not to find out useful information, but to try to catch me in a logical fallacy. This tells us all that you are used to being smarter than your teachers, and that you listen to them in order to catch them making mistakes and prove how smart you are to the other students. This is such a pointless, stupid way of listening to teachers that it is clear you are going to waste months of our time before you finally catch on that the only transaction that matters is a transfer of useful information from adults who possess it to children who do not, and that catching mistakes is a criminal misuse of time.

- Peter Medawar, Advice to a Young Scientist (1979).
- I once spoke to a human geneticist who declared that the notion of intelligence was quite meaningless, so I tried calling him unintelligent. He was annoyed, and it did not appease him when I went on to ask how he came to attach such a clear meaning to the notion of lack of intelligence. We never spoke again.

- Psychology, speaking for emotion and instinct, has reduced intellect to impotence over life. Metaphysics has subordinated it to will. Bergson and his followers have charged it with falsehood and issued a general warning against its misrepresentations; while with pragmatists and instrumentalists it has sunk so low that it is dressed in livery and sent to live in the servant's quarters. It is against this last indignity in particular that I wish to speak a word of protest, to the end that the intellect may be accorded full rights within the community of human activities and interests.
- Ralph Barton Perry, "The Integrity of the Intellect," Harvard Theological Review, vol. 13, no. 3, July 1920, pp.220-221.
- As the saints and prophets were often forced to practise long vigils and fastings and prayers before their ecstasies would fall upon them and their visions would appear, so Virtue in its purest and most exalted form can only be acquired by means of severe and long continued culture of the mind. Persons with feeble and untrained intellects may live according to their conscience; but the conscience itself will be defective. … To cultivate the intellect is therefore a religious duty; and when this truth is fairly recognized by men, the religion which teaches that the intellect should be distrusted and that it should be subservient to faith, will inevitably fall.

Comments about Fender Anodized Aluminum Slide:
I have wanted one of these ever since I saw that they came in red (my favorite color). Plus I was curious as to how aluminum would sound compared to my other slides. But, I could not justify the price considering I don't use a slide all that often. Then I got a coupon from Musician's Friend which made the purchase worth trying. The sound you will get from this is not as "dark" as brass. I would actually compare it more to the sound of a glass slide. But it also has characteristics of other metal slides. I like the sound I get from this slide. The one BIG drawback for me is that it only comes in one size which is not great if you have fat fingers or big knuckles. I knew that it would probably be too small for my ring finger but decided to buy it none the less. It fits my pinky but I have little control of my pinky. I "can" use it on my ring finger but it won't go past the second knuckle. It's a nice slide and I like it but if you play slide a lot and have larger fingers then be aware that it is in the small side.

Comments about Fender Anodized Aluminum Slide:
I was a little skeptical buying this with no reviews but it turned out to be a great goto slde. The super smooth surface slides like glass but gives a slightly sharper tone than glass. Super light weight for higher speed playing. Definitely picking up another one.

On December 2–3, 2009, the Biomass Program conducted the Biopower Technical Strategy Workshop in Denver, Colorado, to explore biopower opportunities in the United States. A wide spectrum of industry, academic, national laboratory, and government experts attended the workshop, which served as an open forum to discuss technical and economic challenges; research, development and demonstration (RD&D) priorities; and issues related to feedstocks, sustainability, and market transformation. The workshop summary report released today focuses on challenges to the expanded use of biopower and the possible solutions, including technology RD&D and market transformation mechanisms. The Biomass Program expects to use this report to support strategic planning and help map future R&D priorities in sustainable biopower.

Comments about Gretsch Guitars Vintage Tooled Leather Guitar Strap:
This is a really nice looking strap and adds a certain amount of customizing to your guitar. A great looking strap for on stage shows, rather than just a practice strap. This is my second Gretsch Vintage strap.
Comments about Gretsch Guitars Vintage Tooled Leather Guitar Strap:
a friend of mine has one for his bass. it seems really well made. i have a guy who makes my straps for me (just bought a gretsch one), and his are also $49, so that seems reasonable.
to the guy who couldn't get it to work with his guitar - gretsches don't have regular strap buttons. they use a knob-and-pin type strap-lock system. this means that the strap doesn't have a buttonhole. instead, it has just a very small hole for the threaded end of the gretsch strap button system. the only way you could make this work with another guitar would be to cut a vertical slit in the leather, starting in the strap hole. but this would be quite dangerous, as the straps are quite thick and stiff. you're better off buying a regular strap for a non-gretsch guitar.
Comments about Gretsch Guitars Vintage Tooled Leather Guitar Strap:
It also looked cheap.
It was the stiffest strap, we could not get it over the guitar bottons and was afraid of damaging guitar or the strap, the only way to do we were going to have to make a bigger hole, and we did not want to do that, so we sent it back for a refund.
Comments about Gretsch Guitars Vintage Tooled Leather Guitar Strap:
I just received my Gretsch vintage guitar strap. I got the black one for my walnut Country Gentleman. The strap is all leather with chrome hardware and red and yellow jewel inlays. The leather is embossed with the famous Gretsch cacti and bull skulls, as well as the pad piece with the "GreTsch" logo. I know it's fifty bucks, but is real heavy duty leather with great detail. These would look and feel great on any Gretsch guitar!

My first post should say 1000000 posts in here not 100000, that is one million posts in here, not one hundred thousand.
When you post in here, put the number
this is post number 3, that way we wont get lost.
Post 4:
You do realise that there are only some 19,000 posts (at time of writing) on the whole forum?
1,000,000 is definitely unchartered territory and might get you beaten up by an admin
Ha, I get it, you mean 1000000 binary, in that case this is post 100
I don't care how unattainable it seems, we will get there with a lot of time wasting. this is post 5
Post #6
Don't make me do this myself. I want to see how far we can get in one day. Just think of your post count when we've finished.
Such grit and determination is hgihly commendable but may I throw some more statistics at you?
There are 444 members which means 2252 posts each. Subtract the lurkers and that's more like 5000, add back the SLAPPers and that's still something like 3000 posts for the rest of us. (what, you callin me a SLAPPer?)
To achieve this goal we will all need to become veteran members with knobs on.
darn ,that last post was 7...
and this one's 8
No 9
Or we could just do 500000 each, then we'd be the top 2 posters for ever. ;D

If learning one new one wasn't a chore, you're probably "brain-wired" right for a facility with languages.
With the Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Portugese) knowing one actually aids learning the next. You quickly learn to 'sort out' which language as you're using it, and in most social interactions, speakers sort of run a list to find a 'common' language. Spanish and Italian speakers can generally communicate easily enough, and French speakers can communicate with them...if they will. (Oops, dig at the snooty attitude of French speakers.)
Of course, if you're really good with languages, then moving beyond one 'group' won't be a problem. (Mr. D.Kitty was a language specialist. Although he know German, Russian, Polish and ummm, something else, the US Government decided he needed to learn Spanish and French as well...and he picked up Italian and Romanian on his own.) Try it. If you're hard-wired to do it, piece of cake! I'm not, and just staying in Spanish/Portugese/Italian I'm OK. What you hear (accents and inflections) that makes the languages different will trigger your brain to go to that language file. The human brain is a very powerful computer, and ya don't even have to have a mouse!
