2010 Toyota 4Runner SUV Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I have had the last few 4runners now, the Limited 1997, then the amazing 2007 V8 Limited. I love the cars, performance and Toyota quality. I really didnt want to trade in my 2007 but I hit 100K so figured I would check them out, not too crazy about the new style but it is okay and thought the new higher HP V6 might be okay at 270HP, however it is NOT, it is WAY underpowered for this size vehicle. It also doesn't have the same solid feel that my previous 4runners always had that other's never had. Makes me wonder if they really changed some things here....engine just doesnt feel right.....way to slow, with the Tundra 5.7 v8 as an option this might be a great truck
navigation, leather, new improved electric steering is maybe the only improvement over the last model
Engine, Engine, Engine....way underpowered, feels like they put a corolla 4 banger in a Sequia, well i am exaggerating a little but for 44k new limited, not really
And if they tweeked the v6 to get that extra HP this year it may lead to more problems down the road, my suggestion stick with the 2003-2009 generation, that V6 is great in that truck, the V8 is even better.....
My 2010 4runner currently has 39k and has been flawless to me.. i bought it with 26k to avoid the high new car price and couldn't be more satisfied with it. It'll tow anything that I'll ever need to tow and carries everything i could want. The only thing I've had it in the dealer for was the TSB on the headlight replacement for when they haze up. I didn't need it done but figured I'd do it before i was out of warranty. all these things need are oil changes and routine maintenance and they should go forever! I love the new interior on the 5th generations! Bluetooth, backup cam, nice easy to use Navi all looks good on the black interior! can't forget the famous roll down back window!!!
Bluetooth audio, navi, rolldown back window, pull out rear tray, 2 400W wall outlets and 3 aux outlets, huge sunroof! and my passengers favorite... reclining rear seats!
the only improvement I'd say is to add a V8.. don't let that fool you though.. the V6 in there makes 10more horsepower than the previous generation V8
2010 Toyota 4Runner SUV SR5 4dr SUV (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I owned a 1997 Toyota 4runner for 13 years with only one major repair in $160,000 miles.It never once stranded me.Someone hit me and totaled it.I bought a new 2010 Toyota 4runner.In the last six months it has stranded me twice and I have had 4 major repairs.The throttle body was first, then the brake switch.Next was the blue tooth system and last night the entire windshield cracked in half (stress fracture, not a rock).I just can't trust this car.It is a lemon and Toyota doesn't care.It is also very hard to see out of the back windows.The body is wider than it needs to be.My mileage is 20 mpg, which is fine.Comfort is good for sitting on the side of the road waiting.
This is my first Foriegn car ever and it is truly amazing. Hate to admit it but it just goes woithout any issues
Love lowering the glass in the back hatch door.NO other truck does that
Memory seats for drivers to keep settings
Have 5100 miles and so far and is exceeding my expectations on MPG and comfort. Just got back from a 1200 mile trip and the reclining back seats were a big hit! The lack of freeway noise and great ride and seats make it an excellent long distance cruiser. Easy to avg 20 MPG overall. In daily 25 mile highwy/city commute I typically get 20.5 MPG with some stop and go driving which is amazing. Exceeding 75 mph gets the MPG to drop slightly below 20 mpg. Also nice to use only regular gas as compared to mid-grade or premium in my Tacoma and Lexus.
Besides the keyless entry, sport shift and seats, I have to say that the Nav system is much more advanced and easier to use than my 06 Lexus IS.
Love the option to view a graph of the MPG over the past 30 minutes.
The X-shocks on the limited are worth the upgrade for handling. While you hear some engine noise around town, on the freeway you virtually hear no engine or tire noise which makes me feel like it is an equal to the Lexus GX470 at a bargain price.
Having a power rear window I can control makes it great for hauling our dog in the back. Low range 4wheel drive for off road fishing and hunting is nice.
Shape of the headlights and tail lights need improvement.
Not sure it needs to be 9 plus inches off the ground making the step in difficult for some passengers. A power tailgate should be offered on the limited and optional on other models.
Engine performance is adequate, but wish it had more power to comfortably pull my 21 ft boat up into the mountains.
Would probably rather have a flat floor over the sliding rear tray that I have, but could not find a Runner w/o the kid only 3rd row seats with a flat floor.
Offer the TRD supercharger as a factor installed engine option.

Using Yahoo! mail beta in SeaMonkey, I see a divider - near the left
side of the screen - which cannot be moved farther left. But one likely
would not want to; that would truncate text in the lefthand column.
The bar can be dragged to the right, however. Resize the entire window,
by dragging its borders, and see if that helps accomplish what you want.

World of Warcraft
Blizzard reveals trade skills, a new character class, and more
WarCraft fanboy alert: Your secret dream of becoming an Orc is now ever-closer to fruition. Since announcing its massively multiplayer RPG, World of WarCraft, more than a year ago, Blizzard Entertainment has been very quiet about the detailspartially to keep all of its competitors at baybut now it's finally starting to spill the goods. Here's a quick update, including the first info on a previously unannounced character class, the warlock.
Blizzard has announced four playable races so farHumans, Orcs, Taurens, and Dwarveswith at least one more coming soon. Our money is on either the Undead or Night Elves. Along with the warlock (more on that in a minute), you'll be able to play as a warrior, mage, and shaman. However, as in all MMORPGs, not all classes will be available to all races.
Right now, Blizzard is working on the class kits, ensuring that each is unique while remaining distinctly WarCraft in feel. Warriors, for example, will have their standard melee combat skills enhanced with special abilities like Battle Shouts to either enhance your stats or lower those of your enemies. They will also have unique weapon abilities depending on the weapon wielded. Try using Stun or Crippling Blow, as well as a variety of stances that will modify your stats during combat. Assume an aggressive posture, for example, and you'll dish out more damage, but you'll also be more susceptible to getting hit. Finally, warriors will be able to perform specific WarCraft III hero abilities, such as the Orc blademaster's Bladestorm, a whirlwind attack with brutal area-effect damage.
Mages are offensive, multipurpose magic users with an emphasis on fire and frost magic. They'll mete out more damage than any other class, but will be very weak in melee situations, wearing only cloth armor. Some of the cooler spells include Invisibility (the only class for which this is planned), and crowd-control spells such as Freeze, which briefly stuns enemies, and Chain of Ice, which roots monsters in place. The mage will also be able to summon a variety of elementals as pets, which won't be directly controllable by the player, but will act as guardians to the mage and his allies.
The shaman, another magic user, has both offensive spells and healing and buffing abilities. Along with brutal combat spellslike Molten Blast, Lightning Bolt, and Chain Lightningthe shaman can summon spiritual guardians and enhance allies with strength and stamina buffs. Shamans are less frail than mages since they can wear leather armor and wield a mace, thus mixing up melee combat with spellcasting.
The just-announced warlock is a fire and shadow magic caster who can cast direct-damage spells, like Firebolt and Death Coil, as well as spells that cause damage over time, like Immolate and Corruption, which drain hit points continually. Most important, the warlock is an expert in demonic magic who, as he/she levels up, will accumulate a suite of demonsincluding (in increasing order of strength) imps, fel hounds, succubi, and void walkersthat can be summoned as pets. Unlike other summoning classes, however, the warlock develops a specific relationship with his pets. The imp he summons will be the same imp with the same name every time. (A demon that dies in combat will revert to the demonic plane and recharge over time.) Unlike mage pets, you can command demons directlythey'll have their own interface so you can use them to attack specific targets or use specific abilities. Finally, warlocks can create a powerful item called a Soul Stone that will instantly revive anyone who is carrying it upon death.
Blizzard has also begun leaking information about skills, which will play a huge role in World of WarCraft. All classes and races will have both core and secondary skills players can develop. Core skills, such as Weapon Use for warriors, will increase automatically as you use them and level up. Secondary skills are optional skills that you spend points on to improve. As in Diablo II, there are more skills than you'll have points to buy, so every player will choose the skills they prefer, allowing for tons of customization amongst players of similar classes. For example, one warrior might choose to master Lockpicking and Horse Riding, while another might specialize in First Aid and Languages. Both will be good warriors because of the core skills, but beyond that, they'll be totally different. (You can also abandon skills and respend laterbut it will be at a cost.)
Blizzard is also working on an elaborate trade-skill system in which players can specialize, for example, in Herbalism, which involves collecting herbs littered throughout the world in order to make magic potions and elixirs (for health, strength, agility, and so on). You'll level up your trade skills by using them, finding trainers, or completing questsoffering a huge optional metagame for those not as interested in bashing monsters. At mid to high levels, players will need to work together for certain trade skills. To create a flaming sword, for example, an alchemist will need to make a potion of flame oil, while a blacksmith will have to forge a particular sword, after which the two can be combined.
This is just the beginning. Blizzard, normally reticent with info, gave us more than we could possibly print here. Is the company excited, or maybe just nervous about venturing into a genre that's produced more failures than hits? World of WarCraft is a huge risk, but if there's one thing we know about Blizzard, it never does anything half-baked. Watch for a bigger feature on this huge game soon in CGW.

TRANSCRIPT President Obama's town hall meeting in Shaker Heights, Ohio
President Obama delivers remarks on health care reform at Town Hall Meeting in Shaker Heights, Ohio, July 23, 2009. OBAMA: I think that activism right now in -- in calling your Congress people, calling your senators, making sure they know this is important -- that's something that everybody here needs to do, because frankly they are hearing from the other side. You know, all those folks who are out there saying, we can't afford this; this is socialism; this will lead to government-run health care; all the folks who are getting ginned up on talk radio and some of these cable news shows, you know, I have to say that they have an effect on members of Congress.

Skip to comments.Was Oliver Cromwell - founder of the British empire - the greatest ever Englishman?
Posted on 12/31/2010 10:16:57 PM PST by Alex Murphy
In many ways, though, what drove Cromwell was his burning religious passion.
Around 1630, when his financial woes were at their worst, he went through a dramatic religious conversion, becoming convinced that God had marked him out for eternal salvation.
Oh, have I lived in and loved darkness and hated the light, he wrote a few years later. I was a chief, the chief of sinners . . . I hated godliness; yet God had mercy upon me. O the riches of His mercy!
But Cromwell was not merely exceptionally religious. He belonged to a particular religious group the Puritans who believed that the frivolous Charles I, with his stubborn faith in the Divine Right of Kings and his fondness for elaborate Catholic-style church ceremonies, was betraying the Protestant Reformation.
A century earlier, Henry VIIIs tumultuous break with Roman Catholicism had given rise to a new sense of English identity, rooted in Protestant independence, localism and individualism, and fiercely antagonistic to Continental European influence. But to Englands Protestant middle classes, the return of Papal rule remained a genuine and terrifying threat.
Given his wild mood swings between jubilation and gloom, some biographers have suggested that he suffered from manic depression. That might explain why he laughed as if he had been drunk after the Battle of Dunbar. To men like Cromwell, the sinister armies of international Catholicism were always poised to strike across the Channel and extinguish English Protestantism for ever.
And to those who remembered the Spanish Armada and the Gunpowder Plot, and who were horrified by news of the Thirty Years War, the gigantic conflict that tore much of central Europe apart as Spain, France, Sweden and Holland battled for supremacy at the cost of some ten million lives, their fears seemed all too realistic.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Oh, please. Cromwell's disgusting career demonstrated that he only cared about himself. He revolted against his king for simply not having called upon Parliament (of which he was a member) but later, as dictator, he went so far as to actually dissolve a Parliament in session because it didn't give him what he wanted ("It's good to be the king" but 'it's better to be the dictator'). He killed his king for supposed treason against the kingdom while being, himself, the leader of the revolution which initially deposed him. He came to power championing the 'Levelers' and rallying them to his cause, but later, much like Hitler did the SA, he eliminated them after they had served his purpose. He established a psuedo-republic for the declared purpose of instituting rule-of-law, but then proceeded to run the country like a modern third world generalissimo. He destroyed the ancient vestiges of English monarchy in an attempt to end forever the inherited title but, in the fashion of the North Korean Kims, he established his son as his successor. Finally, he killed MANY people, all in the name of Christ, and all of them where Christian.
Cromwell was, truly, the PERFECT Puritan.
Those Founders from Virginia, which colony contributed the most in numbers and significance, would heartily disagree. Virginia's status as "The Old Dominion" rests upon the fact that Cromwell's Puritan Revolution never to root in the colony and it remained loyal to royals. Neither would Marylanders agree with you, as their colony had been established to protect Catholics from Puritan persecution. The Carolinians, North and South, would likely have remembered the namesake king of their eponymous colonies. Maybe your idea of "religious freedom" is of the Massachusetts variety.
"to" = 'took'.
Happy New Year!
Cromwell murdered Charles I. When Charles II finally resumed the throne of England, he had Cromwell executed and Cromwell's body was left hanging in public for a very long time.
Sir Douglas Bader would get my vote.
Maybe "Erase" was too strong of a word. But he had no love for Catholics or the Irish. The seige of Drogheda, where he killed 3,500 civilians, including Priests and Nuns and of Wexford where 1500 civilians where put to the sword are examples{ I excluded military casualites because they were under arms, or maybe they werent. But still I didnt add them because they can be justifed}
Of course these figure may be inflated because the Irish hated Cromwell so much they blew up the numbers for propaganda purposes.
But we are looking at these thing from our viewpoint. Mass killing were pretty much the rule durning that time. And when you add religion to this, it got ugly. The irish probily would have done the same if the roles were switched. Religion tends to bring out the ugly in some people.
I am German Catholic so I have no dog in this fight. But the Irish still use his name as a curse. That doesnt happen for no reason.
As for Sherman, There is no evidnace that he committed any type of mass killings. He may have burnt every thing in sight and committed other what we would call "War Crimes" but there was no such things as war crimes in either Cromwell or Shermans time.
I am capable of looking at the two sides of every story. In between the truth is in there. But there is no denying that Cromwell was a cast iron basterd.
I agree.

LOL. Hungover, or still drunk?
After the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell dominated the short-lived Commonwealth of England, conquered Ireland and Scotland, and ruled as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death from a combination of malarial fever and septicaemia in 1658.
from wikepedia and other sites...
Cromwell wasn't 'offed.' Cromwell wasn't a 'mass murderer.' I'm guessing you were born too late for No Child Left Behind?
That would be the ONLY Englishman the English themselves granted the sobriquet "Greast" to: Alfred the Great, the man who kept England from going down completely to the Danes.
Thank you;)
It does help to read the article in full - and to remember that for 400 years, history has been written by Royalists and the Vatican.
Irish Catholics were given Cromwell as a boogy-man while the Monarchs and Popes continued to control and oppress (taxes & tythes).
That imposed a French aristocracy on England for about three centuries, but the underlying English culture was little changed.
Now Hengst's little excursion six centuries earlier, that was a game changer.
Words that would be apropos to the most recent session of the US congress.
The religious history of the Reformation is a lot more complicated than the simple minded "Calvanists versus Catholics" view of Conservapedia,
e.g. why, after 1650, was the Presbyterian church supporting Charles II against Cromwell?
You are wasting your time, although I admire the effort. I don't think I have ever seen such an historically illiterate set of posts on FR. The "grudge" was manufactured by centuries of Stuart and Catholic historiography. This thread resembles nothing so much as Orwell's three minute hate.
If you want to read a contemporary account of Cromwell and his life, Lady Antonia Frazier's biography is detailed and quite good.
Elizabeth I
Cromwell was the devil personified.
Worse. It might be similar if Sherman took ownership the land for good.
Um, no. Cromwell was a tyrant in matters of religion as in other matters, who imposed by force of arms his own Calvinist views on the Church of England. If he was for religious freedom, it was religious freedom for me, but not for thee. The same as his fellow Puritans in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The real champions of religious freedom were the Quakers and the "recusants" (as persistent Latins in England were called), and the same when it came to this side of the Atlantic: William Penn and Lord Baltimore established colonies with religious freedom. Puritan Congregationalism was established in Massachusetts, and Anglicanism in Virginia.
Yeah, right. The kind where you can got to Hell or to Connacht.
"When Charles II finally resumed the throne of England, he had Cromwell executed and Cromwells body was left hanging in public for a very long time."
Cromwell died of illness, and was later "posthumously executed" - and then his body was left hanging.
During time of the English Civil War, it would be difficult to end up universally appreciated. One can surmise that that a "posthumous execution" could be an indicator of a lack of universal appreciation.
Cromwell was a great leader at a time England needed one. Those that would judge him by standards of today change very little, most especially their own ignorance - just as those who "executed" him changed little, from a practical standpoint.
I suspect neither England nor America would be the same without him - for better or worse.
Excellent and succinct post.
"I dont think I have ever seen such an historically illiterate set of posts on FR."
Bravo. You can't fix this sort of willful, trained ignorance, so you may as well laugh at it.
Some of the Williams who settled Rhode Island and later Connecticut were supposedly related to Cromwell.
I'm just a lonely boy
Lonely and blue
I'm all alone
With nothin' to do
I've got everything
You could think of
But all I want
Is someone to love
Someone, yes, someone to love
Someone to kiss
Someone to hold
At a moment like this
I'd like to hear
Somebody say
I'll give you my love
Each night and day
I'm just a lonely boy
Lonely and blue
I'm all alone
With nothin' to do
I've got everything
You could think of
But all I want
Is someone to love
Somebody, somebody
Somebody, please
Send her to me
I'll make her happy
Just wait and see
I prayed so hard
To the heavens above
That I might find
Someone to love
I'm just a lonely boy
lonely and blue
I'm all alone
With nothin' to do
I've got everything
You could think of
But all I want
Is someone to love

Cromwell was a murdering POS who invaded Ireland and killed the priests and burned all the Catholic churches. Banned the Mass on pain of death. With any luck he is still burning in Hell where he belongs.
Thanks for the ping! The movie with Richard Harris is outstanding and I recommend renting or buying it. I do not buy the author's idea that Cromwell was manic. I think it is just that, the authors dark idea from his own darkside. Someday, when the true living Americans that are left here are pushed far enough with all of the unborn murder and excessive taxation and theft from our companies through business taxes...someday we will be pushed to the point that Cromwell was and we will once again fight to push off the barbarians from our necks! And then there will be 1000 years of real freedom and zero communistic income tax! With a ruler of light and real justice who came down once again , this time as the lion to finish off the evil possessed forces of our enemies.
The death toll at Drogheda was largely English Royalist and Irish Confederate military garrisoned there, about 3,000 men in all. There were civilian deaths due to priests, nuns and laymen taking shelter at Drogheda, which is/was something of a fortification, could even be described as a castle and frequently is described as a castle in modern day Ireland.
This was not at all unusual under the siege warfare methods of that time. It makes Cromwell no more monstrous than any other military figure of the era who had ever mounted a siege of opposing forces garrisoned in a fortification.
That is not what the Conservapedia says. Carles I was an Anglican in good standing. The events you are referring to are known as the Bishops Wars in which the central issue had to do with the authority and powers of the crown. Charles I sought to impose an episcopalian system of church government for Scotland (with bishops), and the Scottish Puritans desired a presbyterian system of governance (without bishops).
The charges that Charles I was "too close to the Catholics" was a charge against his royalist activities. The crowned heads of Europe were largely Catholic and Charles sought to more closely identify with them. Charles married a Catholic (Henrietta Maria of France whom he had never actually met) over the objections of parliament giving ammunition to his political opponents. He further fueled this claim failed to militarily intervene to protect the French Huguenots, who were themselves were the political equivalent of the English anti-Royalists.
Indeed - three of the "Regicides" of Charles I took refuge in RI and Conn around New Haven. Roger Williams (the true founder of religious freedom in America) was related to Cromwell thru his wife Mary Bernard.
"Cromwell was one of the predecessors of our American founding fathers for religious freedom"
I think it's a point worth increased study. Three of the Regicides that signed Charles I's death warrant ended up in RI and CT - as did many other Cromwell followers. Many of these same families started the American Revolution.
Roger Williams (the founder of religious freedom in America) was loosely related to Cromwell thru his wife Mary Bernard Williams.
But Cromwell was unrepentant: as he famously wrote in 1643, I had rather have a plain russet-coated captain that knows what he fights for and loves what he knows, than that which you call a gentleman and is nothing else.
His officers were middle-class yeomen, not simpering aristocrats.
My kind of guy!
Thanks Alex, well worth the read at the link.
John Hawkins, Francis Drake. Without them there would have been no Churchill.
And then:
His body was hanged in chains at Tyburn. Finally, his disinterred body was thrown into a pit,
while his severed head was displayed on a pole outside Westminster Hall until 1685.
Ironically the Cromwell vault was then used as a burial place for Charles IIs
illegitimate descendants. Afterwards the head changed hands several times,
including the sale in 1814 to a man named Josiah Henry Wilkinson, before
eventually being buried in the grounds of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 1960.
This is the kind of stuff that can make a boy interested in history!
"That is not what the Conservapedia says."
My quote was a direct lift. It is exactly what Conservapedia says.
I am not sure why Conservapedia is a "ROFL."
I am no expert on English history or Cromwell. I do know that Cromwell was a duly sanctioned leader of the troops, authorized by Parliament to basically lead their side in a civil war. Which he is credited with winning. I am sure the losing side was quite bitter about it. There were probably atrocities on both sides. How much any individual leader is responsible for those atrocities is a matter of debate.
I repeat, I do not defend war crimes by any party. I would just like to point out that in war, innocent people are killed. That is not ok with me. It is just the way it is. To blame Cromwell exclusively for that fact is not reasonable. Again, he did not start this war. He just finished it.
No it wasn't. The following is the "direct lift" from the Conservapedia. (Nowhere does it say he was imposing Catholicism on the Scottish Puritans as you claimed):
Charles I (19 November 1600 30 January 1649) was King of England, King of Scotland and King of Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution.
Charles struggled for power with the Parliament of England. He firmly believed in the Divine Right of Kings, and many in England feared that he was attempting to gain absolute power.
Religious conflicts were a notable feature of Charles' reign. He married a Catholic princess, Henrietta Maria of France, over the objections of Parliament and public opinion. Many of Charles' subjects felt that he brought the Church of England too close to Roman Catholicism. Charles' later attempts to force religious reforms upon Scotland led to the Bishops' Wars that weakened England's government and led to his downfall.
His last years were marked by the English Civil War, in which he was opposed by the forces of Parliament and by Puritans, who were hostile to his religious policies and Catholic sympathy. Charles was defeated in the first Civil War (1642 - 1645), after which Parliament expected him to accept demands for a constitutional monarchy. He instead remained defiant by attempting to forge an alliance with Scotland and escaping to the Isle of Man. This provoked a second Civil War (1648 - 1649) and a second defeat for Charles, who was tried and then executed for high treason. The monarchy was then abolished and a republic called the Commonwealth of England was declared. Charles's son, Charles II, became King after the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
King Charles I was canonized by the Anglican Communion as Saint King Charles, the Martyr, his Feast Day is 30 January.
"In 1630-42, when he governed without calling a parliament, King Charles I multiplied his enemies by imposing irritating financial exactions upon various classes of the community, using prerogative powers exercised by the king in centuries past. He demanded ship money from the towns, fined country gentlemen (including Cromwell) for refusing to accept knighthood, raised forced loans, and increased customs duties. He did all this because he had no right to levy fresh taxes without the consent of Parliament; indeed, his broad aim was to secure the financial independence of the monarchy, and to fasten uniformity upon the Church. Thus the king antagonized the Puritan reformers as well as many of the country gentry and townspeople. In 1638 he became involved in a war against his Scottish subjects (he was hereditary king of Scotland as well as of England) when he tried to force upon them a prayer book similar to that in use in the English Church. They rebelled, and he was compelled to call a parliament at Westminster to ask for money to pursue the war. The accumulation of grievances against the king over eleven years made the leaders of the House of Commons aggressive and uncooperative. Cromwell at once showed himself to be a staunch Puritan, and as such gave steady support to the critics of church and government."
DIRECT FAIL! Nowhere does it say anything about forcing Catholicism on the Scottish Puritans. Charles I is an Anglican saint, not a Catholic saint. He was a Royalist and believed that kings ruled by Divine Right. He attempted to impose an Anglican style church on the Scottish Puritans, in which the crown would approve the appointment of the Bishops as opposed to the presbytery of the Puritans. The opposition to this was called the Bishop Wars. Too often Protestants believe that there was peace and harmony between all children of the Reformation, but this was never the case, particularly where there were Calvinists involved. Historically, Calvinists get along with other denominations only slightly better than Muslims.
As I stated earlier you are entitled to your own religion and your own opinion, but your apparent hatred of the Catholic Church doesn't allow you to change history to fit your preconceived notions.
"Cromwell was one of the predecessors of our American founding fathers for religious freedom."
Good point considering the personal connection between Cromwell & Roger Williams:
1) Oliver Cromwell (25 April 1599 3 September 1658) was an English military and political leader best known in England for his involvement in turning England into a republican Commonwealth and for his later role as Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland. Events that occurred during his reign and his politics are a cause of long lasting animosity between Ireland and the United Kingdom.
He was one of the commanders of the New Model Army which defeated the royalists in the English Civil War. After the execution of King Charles I in 1649, Cromwell dominated the short-lived Commonwealth of England, conquered Ireland and Scotland, and ruled as Lord Protector from 1653 until his death from a combination of malarial fever and septicemia in 1658.
2) Roger Williams (circa 1603 between January and March 1683) was an American Protestant theologian, and the first American proponent of religious freedom and the separation of church and state. In 1636, he began the colony of Providence Plantation. which provided a refuge for religious minorities. Williams started the first Baptist church in America, the First Baptist Church of Providence, before leaving to become a Seeker. He was a student of Native American languages and an advocate for fair dealings with Native Americans.
3) As family chaplain, Williams lets his heart go out to one of his employer's relatives, Jane Whalley, and his early writings concern her. Lady Joan Barrington, her aunt — and also that of Oliver Cromwell — will not tolerate Williams's thoughts of love and marriage for her niece. In the spring of 1629, Lady Joan ends the whole matter abruptly.
On realizing that he and Jane will never be married, Williams writes, "We hope to live together in the heavens, though ye Lord have denied that union on earth." By year's end, he finds another love, Mary Barnard. They marry, and within a year they have set sail on the Lyon for the Massachusetts Bay Colony. On Feb. 5, 1631, Gov. John Winthrop greets the Lyon in Nantasket, south of Boston, after a 57-day voyage. Winthrop's greeting is mostly for the cargo of salt pork and salt beef. Still, he notes in his journal that among the 20 passengers there are "a godly minister" and his wife. Roger was 27; Mary, 21.
4) At the return of Charles II, regicides who had had the good fortune to die in peace during the Commonwealth were condemned posthumously, their bodies exhumed and abused, and their heirs property confiscated. Of the living, twenty-four vanished into royal dungeons or were executed with the cruelty reserved for traitors: a mere dozen escaped abroad. The three who fled to the American colonies have written a dramatic page in our history.
Among those who dared to kill a king on that fateful day in 1649 were Edward Whalley, William Goffe, and John Dixwell.
Whalley, Oliver Cromwells cousin [& brother of Roger Williams one time romance Jane Whalley], had thrown himself into the civil war at the first rattle of sabers
Natural Law,
I went to Conservapedia. I searched "Cromwell." I read the article. I copied and pasted the quoted section.
I don't know what else I can tell you. Anyone can go do the same thing and see for themselves.
All of the wiki based sources are only as accurate as their contributors and are often wrong or seriously simplistic and incomplete. It would be a good idea to do some additional fact checking before relying on or portraying any wiki based source as authoritative.
Thank you for the information in regards to Roger Williams and descendants. ...another little fact. At the time of the American Revolution, Catholics comprised about 1.6% of the population in the thirteen colonies.

Really poor quality
By telkell
from Cambridge MA
Most products from Levenger are good. This one is not. The sockets into which the cam lock screws insert were off by a quarter of a turn. These are not adjustable and preclude proper assembly. Also, three of the threaded sockets for the bolts that hold the leg assembly to the top were recessed too far into the wood so that the bolts didn't reach the threads. Several wasted hours of effort as well as repacking everything to ship it back!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love the Euro desks
By bigfan
from Grand Rapids, MI
Our Euro desk system is 10 years old. We have one large and one medium, and 90-degree angles, with the keyboard tray, a small drawer, and a large one. In addition, we added two sets of cubbies to use for storage in the desktop corner. The sleek design works with the more traditional furniture in the room, and the lighter cherry is lovely. The put-together was so long ago that I can't even remember any problems. The furniture is sturdy and has served us well. It seems to me that a review of the product that has been used for awhile might be helpful, and we will take this furniture even when we downsize.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Not the Quality I would have Expected
By ChiBell
from Undisclosed
I was very dissapointed in this purchase. First off, the tools that come in the box were loose and some were missing. Secondly, the tools themselves were cheap and didn't fit where they should have. Thirdly, the slightest touch on this wood will damage it. I would send it back but I don't want the hassle of returning an item this big and bulky. One good thing I can say is when I called Levenger and asked to speak to a supervisor, she was helpful and offered to cover my shipping costs due to the missing tools.
Merchant response: Thank you for your review. I am sorry that the Medium Euro Desk arrived in that manner. We always appreciate hearing from customers like you that assist us in making our products better. I will send you a personal email on how we can take care of this for you.

The bus transporting servicemen from the 103rd Armored Battalion of the National Guard had just arrived in Williamsport and that meant the long wait for their family members, loved ones and friends was over.
"All right. He's coming home. The bus is here," shouted an obviously delighted William Erb, of Montoursville.
Moments later, Erb embraced his son, SSgt. William Erb Jr., in a bear hug.

RASHELLE CAREY/Sun-Gazette
The 103rd armed battalion, recently returned to Williamsport from Kuwait, is greeted Friday by family members and friends. Mike Orwig, of Williamsport, smiles after kissing his girlfriend, Trina Esposito, while holding his granddaughter, Breah Orwig, 4, daughter of Scott Phillips and Maria Orwig, of Williamsport.
After 7-and-a-half months in Kuwait, SSgt. Erb was home.
He hugged his wife, Mary, his three children and other members of his family.
Such scenes played out in front of the National Guard-Army Reserve building just before 2 p.m. Friday when some dozen National Guard members returned from the overseas deployment.
"He's a good kid," the elder Erb said of his 42-year-old son. "He's dedicated to what he's doing 100 percent."
Erb said he's proud of him, but also happy to know that people are supporting the U.S. troops.
Sgt. Erb, for his part, said it's been a long time coming.
While in Kuwait he worked the security detail.
The 22-year military veteran and Williamsport resident said the latest overseas assignment marks his final deployment.
"No more leaving for me," he said.
Sgt. First Class Michael Orwig was also happy to finally be in Williamsport where he was greeted by friends and family.
"It's always nice to come home," he said. "Wonderful."
The latest overseas assignment to Kuwait marked his third deployment
"We accomplished our stated mission over there," he said.
When not with the National Guard, Orwig serves as a captain with the Williamsport Bureau of Police.
He's said he's looking forward to catching up on things back home and spending time with his family.
Another National Guardsman arriving in Williamsport after a long stretch overseas was Colin Holmes, of Muncy.
His stepfather, Michael Coppes and mother, Nicole Coppes, were anxiously awaiting his arrival with their children.
The couple said it was great to have Holmes finally coming home.
"Absolutely," Mike Coppes said.
While in Kuwait, Nicole often kept in contact with Holmes through text messages and other electronic communications.
"I know he wasn't in any danger zone," she said.
The deployment marked his first, she added.
"He was gone since before Christmas," Mike said.
Holmes has been in the National Guard for more than two years.
His future plans include attending Lock Haven University.

Salmon - Pink vs. Farmed vs. Wild

Ok, I'm confused about which salmon to log. I understand the difference between wild and farmed raised salmon, but what is this "Salmon, Pink" item and why is it so much lower in calories and fat than the other two?
Salmon, Atlantic, Wild (155 cal, 6.9g fat)
Salmon, Atlantic, Farmed (175 cal, 10.5g fat)
Salmon, Pink (127 cal, 3.8g fat)
The salmon I'm getting comes from my local health food store and it's labeled Atlantic Farmed. I guess that's what I should be logging but I would really like to know what's up with this Salmon, Pink.
wild salmon is lower in fat because - well, because it's wild. it doesn't spend its life in an ocean cage. i stay away from farmed whenever possible because the fish farming industry is damaging to wild fish. the farming of atlantic salmon in the pacific has exposed the native fish to high concentrations of parasites, and now pacific salmon stocks are in big trouble.

usually, when you buy salmon fillets, you're getting chinook salmon, also known as King. Pink salmon doesn't hold up very well or for very long, thats what you get when you open a can of salmon unless its marked otherwise. if you're cooking with salmon, you've got king. (hopefully) and boy is a fresh caught king salmon steak one of the tastiest things...Nothings better, save a side of king crab legs! (I'm an alaskan resident stuck in oklahoma....) so there you go. =) hope that helped clear thing up!
btw, unless its marked as wild or pacific caught salmon, what you get in restaurants will be farmed. sneaky buggers, eh?

farmed salmon is bad for the environment. the fishing industry is wreaking havoc on ecosystems and we're in danger of losing a lot of fish species (as well as other species of animals that rely on them for food.)
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch program is a good place to go to see which types of seafood are sustainable and which you should avoid. They also give information about mercury content in different types of fish (particularly important if you're in your childbearing years.)
Pink salmon is mostly canned. My guess would be 99% of pink salmon caught ends up being processed for the canned salmon market.
Many people are confused by the name "pink"... thinking "well, all salmon is pink, right?!". But as other people point out its a particular species in the salmon family.
The premium salmon species include Sockeye, Chinook (King), and Coho (aka Silver), and are saved for the fresh fish markets.
Close to 100% Atlantic Salmon is found in fish markets is farmed, since he the wild Atlantic fisheries are mostly played out. In fact most of the farmed salmon is the Atlantic species (its fairly small and fast growing). I believe there is some chinook farmed salmon too. Farmed fish is a lot more fatty because they live their lives in cages, generally you can spot it by looking at it. That and the negative environmental factors lead many people away from farmed salmon.
Chum salmon that you won't hear to much about goes a lot into the generic smoked salmon products. And as I said pink is largely canned, 'cause the flesh is pretty soft compared to many of the others.
You can get sockeye canned too, at premium prices.
Most people (other than us west coasters) don't realize that there are species/quality differences. I'm delighted that cc has the fish differentiated.
one more thing....
Another reason peopled don't like farmed salmon is that they are heavily dosed with antibiotics through out their whole life-cycle. The caged fish are very susceptible to infection due to the tight quarters and crapping on each other all day. And since one back outbreak can destroy an entire "crop" that takes years to "grow".... keeping the fish healthy at all costs is a priority.
I think some farms are trying to kept their stocks healthy by moving the cages... but that would be in a minority of farms...and you can pretty much assume that they still will be heavily dosed with antibiotics regardless.

Volunteers in Bonn raise awareness in combating HIV/AIDS
30 November 2007
Bonn, Germany: To mark the International Volunteer Day (IVD) on 5 December, the Bonn-based United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is partnering with AIDS-Hilfe Bonn to organize activities on 1,5 and 8 December highlighting the work of volunteers and their contribution to combating HIV/AIDS. Volunteers play a crucial role in public education to prevent the disease, and providing support to people living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
The activities in Bonn will help remind everyone that they can be part of the combat against the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
On 1 December, UNV staff, volunteers and staff of AIDS-Hilfe Bonn will run an information stand in central Bonn (Poststrasse) promoting volunteerism, encouraging people to volunteer, and providing information on UNV's work in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
On 5 December, UNV volunteer Umberto Bernardo of Italy will be visiting the UN Campus in Bonn to share his experience about working in HIV/AIDS projects in Egypt. AIDS Hilfe-Bonn will also share information about its work and offer local volunteering projects in which UNV staff and others could get involved. This event also aims to bridge global and local commitments in the fight against HIV/AIDS and show the contribution of volunteers and volunteering in combating the disease.
The façade of Langer Eugen, which houses the UN Campus in Bonn, will also be lit with a huge AIDS ribbon to raise awareness about the epidemic. All staff at the UN Campus will be invited to view the film "And the Band Plays On", which details the discovery of the AIDS epidemic and the political debate within the scientific community that hampered early efforts to tackle the problem.
On 8 December, the partners have organised a 5-kilometre fun run "Nikolauf" to help raise funds for AIDS awareness and support in Bonn. The general public is cordially invited to participate in the run or to come and support the runners. All funds raised will be used to support the work of AIDS-Hilfe Bonn.
IVD was established by the UN General Assembly in 1985 and provides a unique opportunity for volunteers and volunteer involving organizations to work together to promote common goals.
Over the years, IVD has been used strategically: countries are increasingly focused on using the Day to highlight volunteer contributions to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The organization of IVD is generally the result of a partnership between the UN system, governments, volunteer-involving organizations, and committed individuals. Representatives from the media or academia, foundations, the private sector, faith groups, and sports and recreational organizations are also often involved.
The UNV programme was established in 1971 by the UN General Assembly to serve as a development partner for the entire UN system. Since 1971, more than 30,000 UNV volunteers have supported development and humanitarian efforts around the world, including raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and supporting people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. UNV volunteers are skilled professionals with an average age of 37 and 5-10 years of working experience. UNV also operates the Online Volunteering service (www.onlinevolunteering.org) to connect almost 1,000 development organizations with 11,000 online volunteers worldwide.

CHIANG MAI is the 2nd largest city in Thailand with 600.000 inhabitants and a large provincial area. Yet, despite this fact it has managed to keep it's small town charme and even walking the inner city one cannot help the feeling to be in a small town or moving from village to village. Chiang Mai is known as the "Rose of the North", mainly for its moderate climate, especially during the winter months from october to march and its unique location inside the Chiang Mai valley, 700 km north of Bangkok and 300 m above sealevel. The city is surrounded by mountains, to the north the high plains of Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai expand all the way to the borders of Laos and Burma which are only 200 km away. Many of these valleys have only been really accessible since the 80s and 90s. Accordingly the mountains and valleys are inhabited by colourful and unique hilltribes, the landscape as yet quite unspoilt and to the locals offer access to the countryside from the centre of the city within minutes.
Our property is located appr. 12 km north of the city, at the fringe of Borsang village, the local handicraft centre producing natural papers, umbrellas and woodcarving. It is rural and there is no hint of the city that is only a 20 minute drive away. Access is easy and very cheap (by local Minibus 25 cents) though it would be advised to rent a motorbike or a car to make use of the full potential of the area. We have called our "resort", if we may call it that, SECRET GARDEN, inspired by the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett and that is exactly what it has become : an enclosed, parklike garden with lake, tropical vegetation and small, almost hidden bungalows that allow a retreat yet keeping in close contact with your hosts and fellow guests. It gives you the possibility to spend a few days relaxing and focussing on yourself. To reach Chiang Mai, you will necessarily fly into Bangkok. There are very few international flights directly to Chiang Mai. Take 2 or 3 days to visit Bangkok, it's an experience in itself. The actual flight to Chiang Mai then only takes 1 hour and the airport is only a short 15 minute drive away from the Secret Garden. We are not a traditionally "Touristic Enterprise"....our aim is that you arrive as guests and part as friends.

Not out of the Woods
December 8, 2009 - Neil Rudel
There seems to be a lot of action at the Woods household in Orlando after 2 a.m. these days.
Not two weeks after Woods wrecked his car in the early-morning hours after his Thanksgiving dinner -- triggering probing reports into his private life and alleged infidelity -- an ambulance was called to the estate at 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Turns out Woods' mother-in-law had stomach pains.
We're glad it's not more serious but we're also left wondering: Given how much privacy he wants, it's a little surprising Tiger doesn't have his own hospital on the grounds.

SEATTLE, WA: VW, what took you so long?
With North American...
Every garden has two faces: one public, one private.
"Have you grown a third eye yet?" This is what people ask when they hear I've taken up surfing. Their skepticism stems from the fact that there are no crystal-clear currents where I go. No milk-white caps on the waves. No perfect turquoise tubes, nor 15-foot curtains of shining water.
My back yard break is right here in Hamilton — just across the bay from the industrial sector that long provided a home to Stelco and Dofasco. It's the last place most people would consider in relation to the sun-kissed sport that is surfing, but shoot a glance toward Van Wagner's Beach next time you're driving over the Lift Bridge and you'll see a small army of wetsuit-clad surfers, bobbing on boards and duck-diving like slippery ninjas in their neoprene.
It's not Hawaii, but the landlocked have to take what they can get and the conditions on the Great Lakes — from the Fitzgerald-sinking swells of Superior's north shore to the southern sands of Michigan — combine to create an experience that gives lake surfing its own unique flavour.
For starters, says David Willer, owner of Willer Surf Craft (a one-man operation out of Toronto that crafts boards specifically for Great Lake surfing), freshwater offers none of the natural buoyancy of saltwater. As a beginner, you can atone for this by buying a wide, soft-top longboard. The foam-covered exterior and increased surface area make it easier to stand in challenge number 2 — the disorganized chop of Lake Ontario.
"Lake waves themselves are very different from ocean waves (which are caused by far-off storms that mean the waves roll toward the shore in nicely spaced sets), with very short period swells generated almost exclusively by wind," says Willer. They come quickly, break everywhere and can make paddling out an exhausting exercise. Though this kind of wind technically means year-round surf opportunities, the truth is waves are at their best during the fall and winter months, when the beach can be blanketed with snow and surface temperatures of 2 C require thick wetsuits, booties, mitts and hoods.
This is perhaps the greatest obstacle and, in light of it, the upsides of lake surfing can sometimes seem insignificant. Shark-free waters matter little when you risk running into ice floes instead. And sure, you may only have to contend with a dozen or so other surfers in Hamilton (versus hundreds in Maui), but you start to wonder if that isn't because there are less than 12 people crazy enough to hit the beach in the cold.
Though … oddly, that adds to the allure. It's a little like being part of a secret society.
"Each lake surfer shares a similar bond that is felt no matter which lake or which spot you're surfing," says Mike Sandusky, founder of Surf Ontario — a surf school based in Toronto and London. "The best part of Great Lakes surfing is the camaraderie of the surfing community."
It can be a nod, a smile or a conversation screamed through the spray.
Whatever it is, it's infectious.
Charlie MacPhee, 39, has been surfing since 1996 and he still gets keyed up over it. We meet when, on a sunny Monday in February, as my boyfriend straps boards to the roof of our car, MacPhee drives by in his own truck, pulls over and calls out the window, "heading to Erie?"
MacPhee lives in Dundas, but he learned to surf in Australia, and though he's ridden waves in North Carolina, Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Indonesia, he has a soft spot for local waters.
"The lakes are a bit like grabbing a bull by the horns and seeing what happens," he says. "I'm amazed and impressed by what they can throw at me sometimes."
He admits it can be frustrating. Some days you're itching for surf and the lake is like a pond. Other days, surf's up, but wind makes a mess of the water. On those days, you can knock yourself out paddling around, then find you can't swim hard enough to keep up with the waves you do catch. But you give it a try.
"With Great Lakes surfing, you have to take what you can get when you can get it," MacPhee says.
It's a sentiment oft-echoed in the parking lot at the Lift Bridge. Surfers stand behind their cars, peeling their wetsuits off in the blowing rain and talking about how it was almost too windy to be fun tonight. Almost, but not quite. Almost, but you'd do it again. Almost and you're not the only one who thinks this.
Because, with apologies to the Beach Boys, you don't necessarily need an ocean to surf like Californ-I-A. From Kincardine to Scarborough and down Hamilton way — some of us are going surfing. Surfing Canad-A.
Avoid common surf injuries
Board beatings: A soft top will lessen the blow significantly, but if you have an epoxy-coated or fibreglass board, it can be the most dangerous thing in the water. When you fall, be sure to cover your head and face to avoid the number 1 surf injury — board-induced black eyes, broken noses, bumps and bruises. A lesson from a qualified surf instructor will also help teach you how to position your board when entering and exiting the water in order to keep from getting hit.
Surfer's shoulder: The tendons in your rotator cuff can become irritated with overuse or improper paddling technique. Be sure your hand enters the water fingertips first, with the palm facing downward. Do not cross the middle of the body during your stroke.
Knee sprains: According to Mike Sandusky, these are the result of a wave overpowering a surfer on a turn. "A good way to help avoid this is by making sure your legs are strong," says the founder of Surf Ontario. "Incorporate balance and knee stability exercises into training. The muscles surrounding the knee must be reactive and strong."
Surf shape
"You don't need to be 100 pounds and totally ripped in order to surf," says Krissy Montgomery, owner of Surf Sister in Tofino, B.C. "You can do it at any fitness level and enjoy it and as you progress, the fitness will come."
In order to maintain that fitness when surf's down, you can keep yourself in surf shape with a combination of regular cardio and the following exercises and activities:
Skateboarding: On windless summer days, this is the closest you'll come to surfing. Try a Carver brand board to maintain balance, leg strength and the hip/shoulder unison you need to navigate waves.
Yoga: According to Janine Strickland, co-owner of One Life Surf School in Lawrencetown, N.S., practicing your poses in the off-season keeps you on balance year-round.

Is Travel Insurance Worth It?
You've been planning your dream vacation to some far-away secluded place for years and it's finally close to becoming a reality. You're going to hop on a plane, fly half way around the world and take a jeep to some place where the elephants roam free and people run around in only a loin cloth. It's been your dream for a long time but the reason it's only been a dream is because of the cost.
There are five figures of expense involved in this trip and if something happens that either cancels or cuts your trip short, you don't want to lose that money. Travel insurance has been around for longer than you might think but it has taken more of a front seat in the high dollar world of insurance sales but like all insurance, it's not as cut and dry as you think. Travel insurance doesn't protect against loss without any complication. Oh, certainly not! We need to dive in to this and see what we need to know.

A panel of a federal appeals court based in Richmond, Virginia, recently ruled that President Bush has the authority to indefinitely detain Jose Padilla, without charge, as an enemy combatant. The appeals court cited the powers granted to the President by Congress after the September 11th attacks as the authority for President Bush's actions.
The military has asserted that Padilla was an Al Qaeda operative who fought in Afghanistan and contemplated various terrorist plots in the United States.
When Padilla was first arrested in May 2002, the government alleged that Padilla planned to set off a radioactive "dirty bomb" in an American city. However, when the case was recently heard by the federal appeals court, the government argued that the new reason Padilla should be detained as an enemy combatant is that he fought against American forces in Afghanistan with Al Qaeda.
As the result of 2004 Supreme Court rulings regarding challenges to the Administration's detention of suspected terrorists, the government also conceded that Padilla is entitled to some kind of hearing so that he can challenge his status as an enemy combatant. What kind of hearing this should be has yet to be decided and will probably be the subject of future litigation.
Padilla's lawyer has said that he would appeal the court's ruling to the United States Supreme Court.

Dancing with the Stars is coming down to the wire with the first round of final performances, and Carrie Ann Inaba summed it up best with three words: "Hot, hot, hot."
Chelse Kane, Kirstie Alley and Hines Ward and their pro partners each did two routines Monday night before their final one on Tuesday night to determine a champion. Find out how they fared in the stretch.
Kane and Mark Ballas set the tone, opening with a samba that Inaba showered with the triple-"hot" kudo. Bruno Tonioli called Kane an "ultra-sexy bombshell" and the dance got a near-perfect 29.
Their freestyle routine didn't disappoint, either. "Electrifying!" Tonioli exclaimed about the hip-hop and Latin-infused routine that was a perfect 30, giving the pair 59 points.
Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy countered with a decidedly slower-paced samba that Tonioli called "less full-on." They received 27.
Their freestyle routine started out slow and sensual before reaching a quick-paced routine full of lifts of a slim-downed Alley in a black leotard. Inaba called Alley "the new poster child for life as it should be lived at 60" and Len Goodman cheered the risk-taking. They got another 27, for a total of 54.
That left Hines Ward and the recently injured Kym Johnson to hit the floor with a quickstep that impressed Inaba as "so much fun," but had Goodman wanting more. The duo scored a 29.
But it was their halftime show-inspired freestyle, with football star Ward as the leader of the band, that brought the house down. "You guys are just amazing," said Inaba, and the panel agreed, awarding them a perfect 30, for a 59-point total.
They ended the night tied with Kane and Ballas, while Alley and Chmerkovskiy were within striking distance for the mirror ball trophy.
As Goodman said, "This competition is still anyone's to win."
