Save Earth & Cents with Reusable Shopping Bags
Frugality has met environmentalism at my local Giant supermarket as those 99 cent reusable shopping bags can now net you a five cent discount at the checkout register. It's estimated that Americans consume a hundred billion plastic shopping bags each year and we recycle about none of them. Those hundred billion end up in the woods, in the water, and in the throats of small furry animals, so do your part and start using reusable shopping bags because it can actually save you some money too.
At 99 cents each and a nickel discount each time you use them, it's a mere twenty visits before each bag pays for itself. After the twenty visits, you start turning a small profit on the bags and can save yourself some money while saving the environment. And if you don't want to spend the dollar on a reusable bag and you don't have any totes, you can always turn a tanktop into a shopping bag (or use some other feat of ingenuity). 🙂
These stores offer some sort of discount for using a reusable shopping bag:
- Giant Foods,
- Whole Foods,
- Trader Joes,
- Krogers,
- Super Fresh
If you know of a store that offers a discount for using a reusable bag, please leave it in the comments below and I'll add them to the list.

Fat Actress? Not Kirstie Alley!
All the Dancing with the Stars finalist, 60, can do is rave about her post-ballroom body.
"We're doing our dance tomorrow, and you have to wear the costume you wore [during] the first dance that you did," Alley told PEOPLE backstage after Monday night's show. "We had to take a lot of inches out of that costume, which was fun."
The Organic Liaison weight loss system spokesperson even makes shedding pounds sound like a cinch.
"I wasn't so hungry when I was dancing," she says. "That coupled with insane amounts of dancing, I'm sure I lost it faster ... I had the energy the whole way through it and that was sort of astonishing."
And naturally, Alley can't wait to renovate her wardrobe. It feels great to "buy new clothes and look good in them and get rid of all your old stuff," she adds.

It's got character.
by somedudeinchicago from Chicago | May 28, 2011
Definitely love this car. It's good in the corners, and has a fair amount of power. Transmission is better than previous volvo's. It's got a little charm to it. My parents got this car in 2005 (we have a 2004 model) with 20,000 miles. It was handed to me and now the car now has 163,000 miles and yes, things have had to be replaced (suspension, alternator, bushings, basic wear-items), but the car still runs like new. Overall, very good car. However, if I could have done it differently; I would have bought an S60R. One last thing. This car is driven every day, nearly 100 miles each day, and it's not driven lightly. Definitely reliable in my book.

Did not grow up to the VOLVO name, That's probably the reason it was for sale in the first place. Not all VOLVO's Are like that. It was either a bad apple, or the previous owner(s) got into an accident and tried to fix it chep before they sold it.

by Volvo lover from | June 30, 2010
I've had this car for 7 years now and love it just as much today as when I drove it off the lot. It has never had any problems except for a cracked knob on the radio. I'll be the first to admit that I am terrible at keeping up with scheduled maintenance and it still runs great! It's a lot of fun to drive, is easy to park, has great safety features, and gets great gas mileage. It's my first Volvo, but it won't be my last!

by Binu from Chicago | September 22, 2006
Too many mechanical problems. Looks like some one just rushed it through the production. Two inside door handles came off. Too many loose nuts and bolts. Plastic guard underneath the engine fell down within the first year. The liner beneath the front bumper too low and broke off in the first Chicago snow storm. Keeps changing light bulbs every month. Too many problems with the power antenna. I like the handling of the car and the sporty feeling.

I like this car.
by Marin from San Francisco Bay Area | July 19, 2006
I really like this car. It's not the most stylish on the road, but it has been a reliable car. I like the turbo and the way it performs on the highway. The ride is a little stiff and it has more cabin noise than some other cars. Steering and handling are very good. Good turning ratio. Comfortable seats and easy to use instruments. Gets good mileage. I would recommend it, and I would buy it again, or replace it with the same but newer model.

Well, we can say that the folks from Redmond definitely have a morbid sense of humor. In celebration of the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Windows Phone 7, Microsoft held a mock funeral for two of the stars of the smartphone community: the Apple iPhone and RIM's BlackBerry.
According to Neowin, there were hearses for both the iPhone and the BlackBerry along with Microsoft employees dressed up in Windows Phone 7 garb. Microsoft even went so far as to have employees performing the infamous "Thriller Dance" to celebrate the hope that Windows Phone 7 will bury the competition.
Interestingly enough, while Microsoft definitely had Apple and RIM in its crosshairs today, "dead" Google was nowhere to be found. There were no hearses for the Android OS, so either Microsoft just overlooked this "minor" detail, or it doesn't think that it has the muscle to bury Android so quickly.
Windows Phone 7 is reportedly set to launch on October 11.
quote: A driver problem? Perhaps, but there were no driver conflicts, problems, or non-Windows drivers installed. So even then it was a Windows problem.
quote: I've been building systems since Win 3.1, and your preferences remain little else than your own.
quote: Anyone who claims that Win7 is somehow dramatically different under the hood compared to Vista is delusional.
quote: XP x64 was far, far, far more problematic than Vista ever was. That was a true POS

The Administration will announce a number of new public- and private-sector initiatives designed to accelerate the modernization of the nation's electric infrastructure, bolster electric-grid innovation, and advance a clean energy economy, in part by taking greater advantage of digital and communications or 'smart grid' technologies....Along with the announcement of new public and private initiatives aimed at building a smarter, expanded grid and empowering consumers, the Cabinet-level National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) will release a new report: 'A Policy Framework for the 21st Century Grid.' This policy framework charts a collaborative path forward for applying digital information or 'smart grid' technologies to the nation's electricity infrastructure to facilitate the integration of renewable sources of power into the grid; help accommodate the growing number of electric vehicles; help avoid blackouts and restore power quicker when outages occur; and reduce the need for new power plants.

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Gear up for summer outdoors
ALLENTOWN -- Now that we're past Memorial Day, the unofficial start to summer, it's time to delve into some of the equipment and gear that will help make the Summer of 2013 your best outdoors season ever.
Obviously hunting takes a back seat to fishing, camping and hiking in the summer time, but hunters should use the summer to physically prepare for the rigors of the fall and winter hunting seasons by staying (or getting) in good physical condition.
There's nothing like hiking to do the trick for conditioning. Wearing a backpack to transport your gear like raincoat, food, cooking stove and utensils, water and other items adds weight to your load and helps to increase the calorie burn and conditioning intensity.
The Companion and the Cargo Carrier by Rakuda (www.rakudabags.com) is a canvas-tough, leather-enforced, high-quality backpack that gives any European-style rucksack a run for its money. Both styles feature cinch-pulling open mouth rope enclosures and buckle-down straps to keep your pack secure. There are plenty of additional outside pockets to store items needed for quick retrieval.
What should you pack in your backpack? In addition to water, first-aid kits and other essentials, if you're going to be out for the day, you may want to take along some cooking gear.
The incredible SlatGrill (www.slatgrills.com) weighs just 1.4 pounds in the titanium Summit style, and 2.8 pounds in the stainless steel Scout style. It literally comes apart to form a fold-up package of 4 inches by 9 inches, no thicker than a normal paper notebook. It can support 100 pounds of weight and utilize almost any type of fuel, including white gas, propane, butane, alcohol, gel, charcoal, wood or pine cones. The Summit can be arranged in a dozen different configurations to accommodate the size of what you're cooking.
Inventor Chris Weyandt designed the grill after serving as a leader for Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
"I used to carry a big Coleman gas stove in a wooden box," he said, "and while I wasn't willing to give up the meal is it produced, I knew there had to be a way to keep the cooking capacity without keeping the weight."
Utility tools are important carry-alongs. Pocket knives and Swiss Army-style multifunctional items are great accessories. The Pocket Monkey by Zootility Tools (http://zootilitytools.com) weighs just one ounce, is 1 millimeter thick an includes a dozen tools, including a bottle opener, phone kickstand, flathead and micro-flat head screwdriver, two-dimensional Phillips head, hex wrenches for four bolt sizes, ruler, letter opener, door-latch opener, straight edge and orange peeler. It fits like a credit card in your wallet.
Chances are if you're taking a long hike, you're going to be camping out overnight. Eureka! (www.eurekatent.com) features some outstanding lightweight, quick setup tents that are perfect for hiking/camping trips or regular summer camping
The Taron is a two-pole aluminum dome tent with two- and three-person sizes with two vestibule areas to store gear in the larger model, plus a vertical strut for the vestibule to give the storage area more space. Both have interior pockets, which allow you to find essential or valuable items quickly.
The Midori comes in similar sizes with similar but with side entry and a hood vent plus a gear loft in the three-person size. The Amari Pass is an entry-level aluminum framed backpacking tent.
If you are going on a camping, campfires are always a fun time to tell stories, sing songs and roast hot dogs, marshmallows and make s'mores. Duraflame (www.duraflame.com) has assembled an ultimate camping kit designed to help big kids rekindle their youth when they gathered around a campfire. The kit is based around a Duraflame log and includes a bag of marshmallows, special metal roasting forks, a deck of cards, a harmonica and two kazoos, all of which fit in a sling back for easy transportation to the beach, from the car to the camp, or into the backyard.
As long as we're talking adults here, many of us have our beverage of choice while out by the fire. A nice glass of wine is a relaxing way to spend the evening, and can be heart-healthy if you don't overindulge. But how to seal that bottle?
CapaBunga (www.capabunga.com) features some very cool bottle toppers that won't leak when you're resealing that bottle in the outdoors. It completely seals the bottle opening, and in a pinch, can work on a beer bottle or hard liquor bottle. The bottle toppers come in a variety of colors and with a variety of sayings on top.
If you are sitting around a campfire, chances are pretty high it will be dark. The new double-barrel Night Owl LED flashlight from Impeltronics (www.impeltronics.com) is equipped with CREE LED lights and gives up to 50,000 hours of bright light time with a double-light capacity of 1100 lumens and 10 different light settings.
If you're walking around in the dark, or kayaking and need your hands, Energizer (www.energizer.com) has recently upped the lighting power in its popular headlight series of lamps. The Pro 4 LED Headlight was upped from 20 lumens to 40 lumens with three light modes, including red for night vision. The Pro 7 was increased in brightness by 72 percent to 58 lumens. Both headlamps pivot 90 degrees and are water resistant.
If you like to take your dogs camping, Pet Shade + Pet Kennel (www.quickshadepets.com) offers quick pop-up shade on a raised canopy to keep your pet off the hot ground and in the cool. The kennel adds screening to the sides to keep your pet ventilated. They're perfect for the beach, backyard and camp site.
If you're taking your dog hiking, that means planning to carry extra water and separate food. The new Yaffbars (www.yaffbar.com) by Mudd + Wyeth is the first nutrition design designed for you to enjoy and share with your pet. The Yaffbars are pretty tasty and come in three flavors: blueberry carob, banana peanut butter, and cranberry almond.
In order to find your way, you need a good map or atlas. National Geographic Maps (www.nationalgeographic.com) has released several new state atlases specifically geared for outdoor enthusiasts and explorers. The new atlases, including one for Pennsylvania, include top maps, road networks, places of interest for outdoors-minded folks like state game lands, paddlesports spots, campgrounds, state parks, trails and more.

A lot can happen when you serve as an Air Force Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan. For Daniel McConnell, things were going great until a crash that cost him his arm, caused a traumatic brain injury, and ended his career with an honorable discharge. After recovering and spending some time in med school, Daniel took a summer off (this summer) and decided to hop into a thousand-dollar Suburban and tour the country for which he served. Heck, we'll let him tell you all about it:
I've decided that since I gave 11.5 years of my life to this country, and even lost body parts fighting for it, I want to SEE it, and the people who live in it. My plan is to drive basically a big circle around the USA from TN to Maine, then Oregon, down Cali and off to Key West. I have a beat up 1984 Suburban I've been preparing for the trip, and my plan is to live in it, along with my mildly retarded Boxer. I hope to see a lot of sites, stay off the interstates, and meet a lot of interesting people along the way...
The whole story, complete with Suburban repairs, dog craziness, turkey chasing, and really entertaining writing can be found over at Daniel's blog. Go check it out, be entertained, and if you feel like it, toss a couple dollars worth of gas money at him. (Thanks for the tip Jeff) [DanielsBigTrip]

I'm glad a lot of players who probably won't be on the team next year are helping us become marginally better. Yay Phew.
I'll get excited when we string together a few quality wins and/or when trade(s) happen.

How about the trade of a trade exception for Mo?
Not good enough? How about we actually sign a free agent that is decent in Foye?
Still not good enough? How about KOC changes positions and they take Lindsey from the Spurs organization to be our new GM?
And... it's still not good enough.
How about we win 5 of the last 6 games for a string of wins? Na.....
I'm getting the feeling nothing would be.
Coach T-1000
Mo Williams has been injured, Josh Howard is gone, most the team is sucking.....cough Millsap cough...
Jazz are starting to play better, would love to see a win over OKC. That would really push this team to the next level to beat a contendor on the road.
Today the Jazz are 2nd in the Northwest Division, and essentially 6th in the West. Unbeaten at home and have atleast won some of the games they were supposed to on the road.
They did this while trying to install a new offense, assimilate 3 new players, playing many of the games with Tinsley as the pg and all the while Coach Corbin is juggling a big man rotation that the whole leauge knows can't co-exist.
I'm happy.
The NBA, where the Championship Trophy is awarded in June, but won in July.
I've been pretty clear about what "enough" means for me.
(i liked your citing of the Lindsey hire. He's been busy busy so far, eh?)
I'm a big fan of the Marv trade, but Foye isn't somebody I've ever backflipped over, and I think we could have gotten more out of the Mavs in the Mo deal.
Questions? Or, should I be praying for peace about these things?

Bell zero minutes.......
Just trying to get the fans out of their negative funk and to take a tiny sip of some Koolaid.
Things aren't so bad, and I guess you saying you would wait for another trade set me off a bit.
I want to enjoy the ride, not complain the whole time.
Sorry I took it out on you... sortof. :-)
Coach T-1000
It occured to me that for years Jazzfanz complained about the predictibility of the Jerry Sloan offense. This team is not predictible, I never know who will be starting, playing, or finishing. Multiple guys have stepped up and carried the team for stretches of games. And I never know if I tune in if it will be the night that Burks makes an appearance.
The NBA, where the Championship Trophy is awarded in June, but won in July.
The apologists keep defending a point that no one is challenging. Everyone knows the Jazz has a decent team this year. A decent team that will most probably get a 6-8th playoffs seed and make a first round exit. We will then lose a couple of the players getting all the minutes. The vets will be replaced with the other vets, since the youths won't be "ready". And they never will, since their development has been glacial with such limited minutes. The Jazz may manage to make the playoffs next year even! By then, we will have certainly lost Burks and most likely one of the young bigs.
I've pretty much written off this season. I don't see any plausible scenarios that can get me excited. Even if the Jazz somehow mesh into an awesome team that lands a decent seed and make it to the second round (lol), I don't see a way of going forward from there. Best possible situation would be shipping Burks along with one of the vets in return of a young asset, and giving Favors and Kanter legit starter minutes next season and rebuilding around that adjusted young core. This season would still count as a waste of time, but at least we'd get to watch a fun team that makes a playoffs run, and maintain a winning culture. And we can do what we should be doing now starting with the next season.

The word REVEL is defined as "TO TAKE GREAT PLEASURE OR DELIGHT", while the word EVER is defined as "AT ALL TIMES, ALWAYS.". Combining the two words into REVELEVER makes a new definition of "TAKING GREAT PLEASURE OR DELIGHT AT ALL TIMES, ALWAYS".

A crude sexual act where a woman tries to take a shit while the man shoves the turd back up into her ass with his dick.
This crazy bitch tried to give me a hot lunch, but I got the jump on her, and gave that turd the old dirty plunger right up the corn sleeve.

This is the web page for a Campbell soup NFL "game" where you vote for your favorite NFL team. The team with the most votes at the end of the season wins cans of Campbell's Chunky soups for local food pantries. You can earn more "clicks" for your team by playing a field goal kicking game after you vote. The donation by Campbells is huge & goes a long way to helping the pantries meet their needs.
Help Green Bay become a repeat winner! Besides, the kicking game is fun/frustrating to play too.

Nearly $3K in tools stolen from Sacramento Habitat for Humanity site
Crime took place in Del Paso Heights
About $2,800 worth of construction tools were stolen from a Sacramento Habitat for Humanity job site, the group said Thursday.
The crime took place Tuesday at 1017 Frienza Ave., according to a news release.
A site supervisor noticed the vandalism first.
The tools were kept in a locked storage container, behind a locked fence, the group said.
The thief broke the lock and stole tools including a yellow 6000W generator on wheels, a skill saw and a cordless drill set. The generator alone was worth about $2,100, the group said.
Neighbors told Habitat officials that someone who lives in the area is responsible.
Frienza Avenue is one of Sacramento Habitat's current construction projects in Del Paso Heights.
Construction is now on hold.

Stephenie Meyer
Her "Twilight" numbers are staggering: more than 116 million books sold in nearly 50 languages; $2 billion in box office receipts; more than $650 million in home video sales. "The Host," with an initial printing of 750,000, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list. Whether it's box office gold will be determined starting Friday.
G.I. Joe
He started out only a foot tall, but he's still huge with an estimated 400 million action figures sold in nearly 50 years. Even when the odds are stacked against him, he fights back. Note the critical and fan drubbing "The Rise of the Cobra" took, yet still pulled in $150 million at the box office.
The Seeker
This group of alien "cops" track humans in a mostly peaceful way – except for that one obsessed and duty-bound Seeker (played by Diane Kruger) who will stop at nothing – including violence – to track her prey.
Cobra Commander
The villianous leader of the ruthless terrorist group COBRA, his face – and identity – remain a mystery.
Test audiences were reportedly so enamored with the bromance between Duke (Channing Tatum) and Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), the team's heavy machinery gunner and cook, that the studio ordered reshoots for more footage of the two.
Meyer calls this unusual and complicated love triangle a "love square" because it involves four people in three bodies: The human Melanie (Saoirse Ronan), the alien soul who inhabits her body, Melanie's boyfriend Jared and the devoted Ian (Jake Abel, above). Somehow it works on the page – but will it work on screen?
Alien eyes
Bright and oddly beautiful with a halo effect, they're a dead giveaway that the human body is now inhabited by an alien soul.
Snake Eyes
Fans admire this silent ninja who covers his disfigured face and is one of the most enduring characters in the G.I. Joe realm.
Right at home
Director and Oscar nominated screenwriter Andrew Niccol is the guy to tackle this high-concept sci-fi thriller – just check out his intriguing "In Time" or "Gattaca."
Gotta dance
Jon M. Chu has a knack for flashy, high-energy song and dance films as seen in his previous directorial efforts "Step Up 2: The Streets," "Step Up 3D" and "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never." But he's also a G.I. Joe fan who can name his favorite comic issues by title.

the criticism of mild socialism -- including government-owned
utilities -- thus far commercial cable offerings in the U.S. have
fallen grossly short of successful municipal offerings.
Services like the municipal effort of Wilson, N.C. have offered
faster, cheaper internet than commercial offerings. Cable
companies have responded by pouring millions into lobbying local,
state, and federal governments to enact proposals to ban
municipal internet services. To date, they have seemed
unable to stamp out this pesky brand of community socialism.Now
Chattanooga, Tennessee is preparing to launch a new municipal service
which will offer speeds up to an incredible 1 Gbps. The
service, to be deployed by the end of the year, will be the fastest
household internet connection available in America today.Ron
Littlefield, the city's mayor, cheers, "This makes Chattanooga
— a midsized city in the South — one of the leading cities in the
world in its digital capabilities."The service will be
managed by city-owned utility EPB.
It will join just a handful of consumer 1 Gbps offerings worldwide,
including the fastest connections in the city of Hong Kong.
The service is almost 200 times faster than the average U.S.
broadband speed according to analysts.There are some
downsides of the super-fast service. One is the ability to
fully utilize the ultra-wide line. While transmission speeds
are somewhat dependent on what speed the downstream party can receive
data at, they are also dependent on how fast upstream parties can
serve the data at. So while you may be able to get a 25 GB
Blu-Ray movie in about three and a half minutes, in theory, few data
providers will be able to serve the movie that fast.Another
obstacle is the price – a whopping $350 a month. While the
city is also offering more affordable bundles that should beat the
rates of competitive commercial offerings, its top-tier option is
undeniably pricey. At that rate it may appeal more to
businesses than the majority of individual buyers.Comments
Harold DePriest, chief executive of EPB, "We don't know how to
price a gig. We're experimenting. We'll learn."The
new service will reach 170,000 homes and businesses in the area and
help add a bit more bang to citizens' buck, in a region
that Forbes magazine already
rates as one of "America's Best Bang-For-The-Buck
Cities.If President Obama has his way, a national
socialized internet offering will also soon arrive.
The President's FCC appointees are pushing plans to cover 100 million
homes with 100 Mbps by 2020. That connection would be one-tenth
the speed of Chattanooga's. Despite the sluggish
performance of cable giants like Comcast and Time Warner,
some commercial players are also looking to deploy high-speed
offerings. Google announced plans to cover up to 500,000
people with
1 Gbps internet. The service received 1,100 applications
from communities and Google will announce its pick(s) by the end of
the year.
quote: I don't know why he thinks it's ok for a private corporation to pay, but getting the shaft if the gov't pays instead. With eminent domain he doesn't even have the hassle of taking the offender to court unless he wants to haggle over the price :P
quote: Eminent domain and it's use is an abortion of the very reason we founded this country.
quote: Good uses: purchasing right of ways for highways at a reasonable market price instead of having to route the highway around "grandma's little plot of land" because she won't sell at any price or paying an exorbitant price charged by an overzealous land-grabber who may have had insider information about the highway route.

SOMERSET - Everett only lost six volleyball matches this season. Unfortunately for the Lady Warriors, three of them were to Chestnut Ridge.
Riding the wave of its passing, the Lady Lions completed the trifecta at the most important time, downing Everett in four games, 25-18, 25-19, 23-25, 25-19, in the District 5 Class AA semifinals on Thursday night at Somerset Area High School, running their record to 20-0 in the process and earning a berth in the championship against North Star.
The finals will be Saturday at 2 p.m. at a site to be announced.
Sarah Dikum keyed Ridge with 14 kills and 16 service points, while teammate Emily Finnegan chipped in with nine kills and six blocks. Taylor Clingerman added 14 service points.
"Our passing was the key," Ridge coach Tammy Clingerman said. "Every girl had at least four kills. I'm very pleased. Our setters did a good job."
Baylee Beegle and Macey Colledge came up with eight kills apiece to lead Everett. The Lady Warriors finished the season 13-6.
North Star was a 23-25, 25-23, 28-26, 25-16 winner against Berlin Brothersvalley in the other 5-AA semi.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
PolyMedix won a $161,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to progress evaluation of its defensin-mimetic antibiotic candidate brilacidin in the treatment of oral mucositis. The funds will support dosing studies in animal models, evaluation of the drug's mechanism of action, and optimization of an oral rinse formulation.
Preclinical in vivo studies have previously demonstrated brilacidin reduces the occurrence of severe ulcerative oral mucositis in animal models by over 94%, PolyMedix claims. The firm is currently working toward an IND application with FDA, and projects clinical trials could start in cancer patients during the first half of 2013.
"Like host defense proteins, brilacidin and related compounds have shown antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-inflammatory properties," states Richard Scott, Ph.D., vp of research at PolyMedix. "We believe that the combination of these attributes contribute to the encouraging efficacy of brilacidin demonstrated in these animal studies."
Brilacidin is the first in PolyMedix' program to develop defensin-mimetic antibiotics, a class of antibacterials designed to mimic the action of host defense proteins that kill infecting bacteria by forming pores in the bacterial cell membrane. The firm claims that by mimicking this mechanism, brilacidin exploits a method of bacterial cell killing that significantly reduces the risk for emergence of resistance. The drug has demonstrated rapid bactericidal activity against a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), drug resistant Enteroccus, E. coli, and NDM-1 drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia.
In April PolyMedix reported promising data from a Phase II clinical trial evaluating brilacidin in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused by Staphyloccocus aureus, including MRSA. The firm in addition plans to develop brilacidin against blood stream infections and lung infections.

May 6, 1946 – Feb. 20, 2013
Former Kenmore Police Chief Carl J. LaCorte, a 44-year veteran with the village Police Department before his retirement Nov. 19, died Wednesday in Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital. He was 66.
Born in Buffalo, he was a graduate of Bishop Neumann Catholic High School.
Mr. LaCorte started his career as a patrolman with Kenmore police in 1968 and was promoted to detective in 1972.
He became a lieutenant in the department in 1977 and was promoted to captain in 1984. In 1977, Mr. LaCorte became the department's Juvenile Bureau captain.
In 1997, he was promoted to assistant chief of police under Chief Samuel A. Camilleri Jr., whom Mr. LaCorte succeeded on July 24, 2006.
In an Oct. 25, 2009 Buffalo News "Spotlight" question-and-answer session, Mr. LaCorte was described by News Staff Reporter Jane Kwiatkowski as "techno-savvy and proud of his service to a community known for its strict enforcement of the laws."
"It's strict enforcement that results in a safer place for our residents," said LaCorte.
"We know it keeps the bad guys from returning. You're not going to get warned, you'll get arrested. I don't want bums hanging around. The mayor put it best when we won our 'Ten Best Neighborhood' award: 'We take no prisoners,' " he added.
He is survived by his wife of 18 years, the former Martha E. Berger; a daughter, Michele Bechtel; a son, Joseph; two stepdaughters, Jessica and Jennifer Dippel; and two brothers, Joseph and Ciro.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday in the Amherst Chapel of Amigone Funeral Home, 5200 Sheridan Drive near Hopkins Road, Amherst.

Congratulations to Galapagos School on making some market improvements in student performance. We should celebrate improvements, but the real story is the dismal number of children who are not meeting state standards at Galapagos and elsewhere in Rockford.
If 39 percent of the student body is now meeting their reading requirements, that means that 61 out of every 100 children are not. Why is our community not up in arms about these statistics? If my company improved on-time shipments from 20 percent on time to 39 percent on time, we would not be celebrating. Frankly, we would be out of business. If you stopped at McDonald's and six times out of ten they got your order wrong, you would wonder why they can't get their act together and stop going there.
Why is a 60 percent failure rate acceptable? This should be the real front page news. These children who cannot read and write at grade level will be adults in just a few years. They will not have the tools to succeed in today's society. Is this what we want for our most precious commodity? Let's stop being excited about how are kids are failing less badly.

To be clear, we have a reasonably definitive answer for what it means to the OP when he reads "Use Castrol" on the oil filler cap.
And, we have three reasonably definitive answers (depending on what 'religion' you subscribe to) to what oil you'd use.
The problem comes with someone asking me what oil YOU would use; or what oil "MatWiz" would use; or what oil "Doru" would use; or what oil cn90 would use (actually I know exactly what oil cn90 would use because he thinks like I do).
My point is you just can not answer that question until you know what religious punch the user wishes to subscribe to. Once you know that, it's easy to tell them which oil fits the criteria.
If that's what you mean by "definitive", well then, it's definitive as lone as you define the religious camp the "questioner" wants to live in.
Call them categories. Call them thought models. Call them mind sets.
You can call it whatever you like. I use all those terms interchangeably.
BMW gets no credit for engineering on any of those issues. But, what's your point?
What I see, at both ends, is people in the first list disagreeing with everyone else - and people in the last list agreeing with everyone.
You just happen to (probably) be in the first list. That's all. It's pre-ordained, based on which list you're already in, by your very nature. And that's OK.
Since I'm in the third category, I think everyone is right. And that's OK.
The problem isn't you or me. We're set for life. (And that's OK.) Neither one of us is going to have an engine failure because of what oil we used. Never ever ever. It just isn't going to happen.
The problem is the confusion of the NEWBIE who asks "what oil?" and then gets lists of oils in the three different categories and then, confusingly to him, all the arguments in between (almost exclusively from those in the first category denouncing all the other thought models).
Nobody in the third category is doing the argument. I doubt anyone in the second category is either (all they do is select oils).
All the argument comes from those in the first category ... which is hilarious ... when you think of it ... 'cuz ... for them ... the decision is so very simple!
This is a philosophical discussion (not a technical one) that has far reaching social implications.
Here's my new epiphany:
- Those in the first 'mind set' argue AGAINST all other mind sets.
- Those in the second 'mind set' don't disagree; but they find additional oils meeting the same criteria.
- Likewise, those in the third 'mind set' agree with everyone above & choose their own oils based on standard criteria.
The epiphany is that almost all the argument seems to be coming from those in the first philosophical category who, it seems, just can't stand the mind set of the other two philosophies.
That, it appears (to me, just now), is the fundamental reason for the 'endless oil' arguments!
The only way for the arguments to end is for the first mind set to destroy the other two mind sets (which isn't going to happen); so the first mind set will propagate the argument forever. The other two mind sets aren't doing the endless arguing.
This, I think, may be a fundamental philosophical insight.
Agree? Disagree? Add value?

There is a big difference between Doctrine and Dogma. You may wish to google each individually to see the difference in definitions. I try to make my choices on vehicle maintenance based on Doctrine, not Dogma. Thus, I avoid the philisophical , and stay technical.

Regardless of BMWs shortcomings with the many systems on the car, they know considerably more about the engine and its requirements than you, I or anyone else is likely to ever know....that is a fact. They have also taken into consideration many factors that we may not have ever even thought of.

I must apologize for the tone of my prior couple of posts. I'm just sick and tired of the 'what oil' discussion. I'm OK with the 'what philosophy' discussion; but there is nobody on the planet who can MOVE anyone from one mind set to the other. It just won't (realistically) happen anymore than I can talk a Jew into being a Christian or a Muslim.
It's my opinion, after reading hundreds of 'what oil' threads, that the oil people choose has more to do with the way their brain is wired than anything we will ever say in these forums.
And, what oil they use can be predicted with almost 100% certainty (within a range of equivalents, of course) if you know what 'mind set' the person belongs to.
So, I apologize for my tone. Knowing all that I know now, I absolutely refuse to get into a 'what oil' discussion (other than to point people to the mind-set descriptions to let them choose their own religion).
Anyway, as a courtesy, I will address your points directly.
But, for the record, here is a google result of the doctrine vs dogma:
- Doctrine: What the church believes is truth;
- Dogma: What the church proposes as truth.
- Doctrine: What BMW (the pope) believes is truth;
- Dogma: What BMW (the pope) proposes as truth.
When I started this holy quest for the right way to choose oil for your BMW, I was wholly unaware that the result would be impossible because of differences in the people's inherent belief systems.
All I will say from now on is that the belief systems exist. And I'll characterize them, but not the oil to use because that easily falls out of the belief system itself:
They'd learn the real truth, the hard way.
But, as with all religious arguments, there IS NO REAL TRUTH when it comes to what oil is best for your BMW! (You 'think' you know the truth; but so does everyone else. And you don't agree. And, it doesn't matter because nobody is putting Marvel Mystery Oil in there. They're all putting decent oil in their engine.)
Do you see what I'm saying? The whole problem is that the philosophies (or mind sets or religions, or whatever you want to call the wiring in people's brain) falls into THREE categories:
a) Those who use what BMW says to use
b) Those who use that plus what seems similar
c) Those who use those two plus whatever else works just as well
After all this research, my only role on bimmerfest, from now 'till the day I die, is to advise people of those three 'mind sets'.
You don't get to choose your mind set anymore than you chose your religion (for the most part, it is foisted upon you by your belief system).
So, if you're of the first mindset, then 'you know' exactly what oils to use; and if you're in the second mindset, then you know exactly what oils to use plus you'll find equivalent oils; and if you're in the third mindset, you'll have all of those oils plus anything else that works to use.
Just like religion, the real proof is that nobody is dying because of which religion they chose (yeah yeah, I know, they're being KILLED by each other but that's not what I mean).
It turns out cn90 and I are not ruining out engines by using the oil that we chose to put in there, the fact that BMW knows engines notwithstanding.
If I chose to be a Christian or a Jew, the 'real' God wouldn't be sending lightning bolts down on me any more than the God of Engines will destroy my engine because I just today put Mobil1 5W30 from Costco.
So, the whole point of arguing oils (just like arguing religions) is pointless.
Let the people choose their own religion and let them choose their own oil. It won't make a difference either way.
Nobody's engine is blowing up either way.

For the record, in response to a 'what brand of oil' question over here:
- E46 (1999 - 2006) > First Oil change (brand of OIL)
One reply was:
The second group never asks, other than to doublecheck their comprehensive calculations.
And the third group can read the 'quality' on the can so they don't ask either.
a) Use only bmw-approved oils (based on LL standards)
b) Use only bmw-approved & similar oils (based on LL standards and specs)
c) Use only bmw-approved & similar oils & any other 'good' quality oil (based on LL standards and specs and other well-established standards)
- E46 (1999 - 2006) > First Oil change (brand of OIL)
The response:
To further fan the flames:
I don't plan to go 15,000 miles between oil changes. Likely will do 5,000 between changes, which is less than I have typically done on my other vehicles (every 10,000 miles with M1 5w-30). If I'm not trying to get "long life" from my oil, how badly does my oil need to meet the LL-01 spec?

As much of this thread shows, it is much debated, and "up to what you are comfortable with". BMW is clear on their recommendations...

You ALL Oil Gurus, here's a Question :
Since we have many highly knowledgable oil gurus here, I thought I'll ask 2 questions ~
1. I have seen many photos posted here of Mobil1 5-30W. Many people mentioned the Mobil1 5-30W also.... BUT it's not LL-01 approved. There's no LL-01 mentioned on it. The Mobil1 0-40W is LL-01 approved, however. So, why we have so many guys who encourage the "approved" BMW oil, say Mobil1 5-30W is a good choice? (It is however, Corvette recommended, so I guess good enough for BMW too, but not LL-01 mentioned)
2. I have put 0-20W (full synthetic) recently. I know it's not the right voscosity recommended. But I needed to change oil quickly, becuase the old oil was getting dirty. I intend to run this oil for only 2K miles or so. I figured this will also flush the engine, and will go back to 5-30W. Is that bad for the car? (by the way I'm getting better gas milage with it. Getting 23.5 MPG, before 21-22 mpg) I intend to go back to 5-30W, but now not sure if I should use the Mobil1 5-30W (full synthetic, since it's not LL-01 approved). Castrol 5-30W European is hard to find.
What are you views on the metioned concerns?!!! Thanks in advance!

BTW the Castrol product many of us use (me included, most times) is Castrol Syntec 0w-30 European Formula. With rare exception, it can only be found at AutoZone stores.
As far as a general answer to your question...I think we will never know, unless we got into the head of a BMW engineer to understand the reasons for the LL-01 specification, and if we knew the exact technical requirements of the LL-01 spec. Bluebee will tell you it is all about "marketing" and some conspiracy between oil manufacturers and BMW to corner the oil market.
If you are uncomfortable or question your actions, the simplest, and safest answer is to simply follow the manufacturer's recommendations:http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...ngineOils.aspx
If you feel you are smarter than BMW, you may wish to study up a little on oil here:

Castrol 0w-30 is close to 0w-40, and is LL01, which is good.
There is NO way I would use a 0w-20 in these cars, no way.
20 weight is no where near the 30 weight you need for your E39.
IMO, 0w-20 is only out there because of the governments BS of trying to run more efficient cars.

It's clearly not titled "What oil does BMW tell you to use in your engine?".
For that, you need to read:
- What is the definitive list of BMW-approved motor oils (1)
Despite what the Germanic M A R K E T I N G team would want you to believe, there 'are' other specifications for motor oil that work perfectly well for similar cars manufactured outside the Bavarian gates.
Taken slightly out of context, from a BMW owners manual, read what BMW has to say themselves about viscosity ranges for their approved oils:
I mean, it's not like you need to change your oil while you're stuck in traffic at rush hour with people honking behind you as you're pondering which oil to use while you're in the middle of a suspension bridge which is beginning to open to let the cruise ships through ...
Is he asking whether changing oils at 2,000 miles instead of, say, 7,500 miles, is 'bad for the car'?
If LL01 is your schtick, then by all means, ONLY buy LL01 approved oils. Period.
Just bear in mind nobody has ever blown up their engine by using Mobil1 5W30 oil.
It's your choice. It won't matter either way. It's like choosing religions. It makes you feel good; but in the end, no matter your religion, you get eaten by the same worms and your car gets crushed by the same salvage yard no matter which (quality) oil you choose to employ.
For religious details, see:
- BMW motor oil Petrolism & why people choose the oil they do (1)
ONE: You worry too much.
TWO: You really should only use LL01 approved oils from now on!
Note: No rush: you have 7,500 or so miles to make the decision ... but do go back to LL01 when it's time to change your oil ... you'll then feel a 'lot' better about yourself.
Molding "Use Castrol" on the engine itself is a stroke of genius!
- Why does BMW mold "Use Castrol" on the oil filler cap (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)
BMW marketing is very clever. They know that the typical BMW owner wants desperately to believe that his engine is, somehow, different than all the rest ... and ... by extension ... that 'he' is, somehow, different (better?) than all the rest.
Of course, marketing always requires the gullible; and for that, they have their market almost completely sewn up. It's impressive how well they select their customers, and, if anyone here thinks they spend those millions in marketing costs in vain, let me dispel those notions here and now.
Marketing works! BMW can sell LL01 approved snow to an Eskimo. They're that good! (BTW, I have a few years' experience in marketing myself). The whole point is to saturate logical thinking until it shuts down and you simply follow their leash. It's a game well played.
While marketing messages work best on the most gullible (i.e., the most willing to believe ... ask Goebbels), BMW marketing is so pervasive and determined, that we all succumb (in one way or another) to their marketing hype. It's human nature. We're herd animals to the core.

Remember also, that BMW recommends a whole host of other oils that also meet their LL-01 specification. One is never "required" to use Castrol products, they are only "recommended" And even more manufacturers claim to meet the specification, though they may not have BMWs tacit approval. The Castrol Syntec 0w-30 European Formula has BMWs approval, but it is NOT the "official" oil used or sold by BMW. It has not more relevance than any of the other oils approved by BMW, such as Mobil 1 0w-40.
I've simply found it easiest, and the least risk involved, to tell any new BMW owner to simply follow BMW's recommendations. While one can use whatever they like, most probably would want some justification for why...and then the discussion gets bogged down for pages and pages of opinion, technical data sheets, and even a little hocus pocus.
Factory 540 M-Sport (Canadian market), factory Bluetooth, factory M-Audio 10" dual voice coil subs, Homelink, M5 rear stabilizer bar, H&R 15mm spacers, Bilstein B14 PSS coil overs, Stop Tech ss brake lines, Akebono Euro Ceramic brake pads, oem Brembo and Zimmerman rotors, Dinan Stage 1 software, Strong Strut front upper stress bar.
It's all about marketing dollars.
Your religion to oil analogies are...interesting.

When I bought my 2002 530i sport in July I had the car serviced in Asheville, NC (where purchased) before I drove the 350 miles home. The indy used Kendall GT-1 5w-30, which also meets the LL-01 spec requirements. My local auto zone does not list the Euro Castrol but does list the Kendall Gt-1, although it is a special order.
Right now my next change will be with Mobil 1 0w-40 as I have already purchased the oil and Mann filter. May look into the GT-1 later. I will do the changes myself.
2002 530i
Is this a right oil ?

Someone aptly termed the remarkable similarities, "Petrolism".

Appearing at her first award show since her breast-cancer diagnosis and treatment this summer, Christina Applegate took to the Emmy red carpet Sunday night and declared, "It's a great day … I've got a pretty dress on and lipstick, and [it's] something I haven't done in two months."
Speaking to E! host Ryan Seacrest, the Samantha Who? star, 36 – in a Reem Acra silk organza, jacquard-draped gown – said, "It really feels good to be here ... That's what life's all about."
Addressing what she's been through (which includes a double mastectomy), Applegate said, "Things happen, and you have to sit back and really, really embrace your life."
Said the actress, "For me to have a voice and be the voice of a 30-something-year-old girl going through this and dispelling the misnomers that it's an older woman's disease is a big part of this for me."
Applegate said whether she took home the Emmy Sunday night didn't matter, but expressed her gratitude for having so much.
"I have so many people to thank," she said, "First of all, I would thank everybody for the overwhelming love and support that I've gotten through all of this. It brings tears to my eyes.
"Like, every day I get e-mails not even just from people I know, but from people I don't know who I've helped. And that to me is what I'm most grateful for."
Applegate's Samatha Who? costar, Jean Smart, who took home the award for best supporting actress in a comedy, praised her for her strength and humor.
"I've never seen an actress who's so beloved by her cast and crew. I feel very protective of her," Smart said backstage about Applegate. "But she's a very spiritual person and she got through [cancer]."

NASCAR seizes fuel cell from Johnny Sauter's truck
Points leader finished fifth in Kansas Speedway race
Inspectors confiscated the fuel cell from Truck Series points leader Johnny Sauter this weekend at Kansas Speedway and will review it the first part of next week.
NASCAR did not say what issue was found with the fuel cell, which was taken Thursday during the opening day inspection. Any potential penalties would also be handed down next week.
Sauter won the first two races of the season at Daytona and Martinsville, and finished fourth at Rockingham. He stayed out of trouble in a crash-filled race Saturday at Kansas to finish fifth, maintaining a 12-point lead over Matt Crafton in the series standings.
Crafton held off Joey Coulter over the final 20 laps to win Saturday's race.
