Hey guys,
A friend at our temple, Gyatrul Rinpoche's Tashi Choling, asked me to get the word out in the Buddhist parts of the blogosphere and the net in general about our nonprofit organization Vimala's Dharma store (http://www.vimalatreasures.org), formerly known as Mirror of Wisdom. Here's a little blurb from the site about Vimala's purpose and activities:
Founded in 2007 under the auspices of the Venerable Gyatrul Rinpoche, Vimala is a nonprofit Tibetan Buddhist organization devoted to facilitating spiritual development by supporting the study and practice of dharma (the teachings of the Buddha).
Vimala's activities include collecting, archiving, and disseminating dharma teachings and practices, with a particular focus on those associated with the Nyingma lineage of Vajrayana Buddhism. In addition, Vimala supports the translation of dharma in order to make it available to practitioners worldwide, and facilitates the training of future translators and teachers to help ensure that dharma will remain in the world for the benefit of future generations.
Were you trying to get to Mirror of Wisdom and found yourself here? Never fear--all of the practice texts, commentaries, commercially printed dharma books, photos, and other supports for practice that were offered by Mirror of Wisdom have found a new home here at Vimala! Learn more about us on our About Us page (http://vimalatreasures.org/about-us.aspx).
This site has everything from sutra to tantra, so it's not only a great resource for Vajrayanists or Nyingmapas. However, for new and old practitioners of the Vajrayana, it's an especially wonderful resource because of their vast archive of video, audio, transcribed teachings of many great Vajrayana masters, such as HH Dudjom Rinpoche, HH Khyentse Rinpoche, HH Karmapa, HH Penor Rinpoche, Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso, and tons more. I hope this resource may be of benefit!
- Brian
*edit: can someone tell me how to edit the url's to just say "Vimala's"and "About Us"?

Re: Looking for Dharma books and practice supports
Thank you. Medicine for all, Dharma for all. No idea of url-thing.
Remember that a thought is only the fleeting conjunction of myriad factors and circumstances. It does not exist by itself. When a thought arises, recognize its empty nature. It will immediately loose its power to elicit the next thought. And the chain of delusion will be broken. ~~Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Recap: 'The X Factor' Season 3 - First Elimination and '80s Night Performances
We're back for what is sure to be a frenzied Wednesday (November 13) night installment of "The X Factor."
Thanks to last Wednesday's voting SNAFU, we ended up watching 26 performances last week, which was a lot. Only Thursday's voting counts, but once can assume that emotionally, all support or lackthereof was cumulative.
Per FOX, we're expected to open the show with the season's first elimination and then we'll move on to '80s Night performances by the season's Top 12. Does that mean it's really a single elimination episode?
Click through for all of the live-blogging fun.
8:01 p.m. ET. Nobody wants to go home.
8:02 p.m. Why are we only sending one act home tonight? And what can we expect from '80s Night performances delivered by a bunch of artists who were, in some cases, barely even more in the '90s. Like was Rion Paige born in 2000?
8:03 p.m. The '80s was one of AC Slater's favorite decades.
8:03 p.m. How are we announcing the elimination? And what on Earth is Rachel Potter wearing? Is it a leather short-suit? The act that got the fewest votes last week is... EXCRUCIATING PAUSE. WHAT IS HAPPENING? It's CARLOS GUEVARA going home. That's too bad. He would have been in my Bottom 5, but I'd have sent several people home first. Carlos is very relaxed and all smiles. "Carlos, you an inspiration," Paulina says. She tells him that he had the hearts of all of America, which we know to be a bald-faced lie. Farewell, Carlos.
8:06 p.m. Ah. We're doing a double elimination tomorrow night. Who's up first?
Singer: LILLIE MCCLOUD
HitFix Interview
Song: "Ain't Nobody"
My Take: We're at least acknowledging that not only was Lillie around in the '80s, but she approached success, falling just short. Tackling Chaka Khan, this should be another strong week for Lillie, right? Well, I don't quite get the decision to style Lillie like a permed '80s teenage. Like I get that nobody with half a braincell would guess that Lillie was in her 50s, but that doesn't mean that we're supposed to pretend that she's 18, right? Lillie's energy is astounding, but she's vocally much, much better than this. The whole thing is just a bit off-putting. Would I be enjoying this more if I didn't know Lillie's age and experience? I don't know. But if Lillie had been handed a Tina Turner song, surely it would have worked better? A little "What's Love Got To Do With It"? Or am I pigeon-holing her? The more actual singing Lillie gets to do, the better she is, but this isn't my version of the best way to pitch Lillie to America.
The Judges Say: "You just showed us how multi-faceted you can be," Paulina says. I'd listen to Paulina say "multi-faceted" all day. "You really shined up there," says Demi, whose blue hair and heavy eyeliner are fairly awesome tonight. "You're a naughty little thing, aren't you?" Simon says to an out-of-breath Lillie. "You made an attempt to be current," Simon says confusingly, calling it "so much better than we've seen before." "Sometimes you have to get out of your head as a performer," Kelly tells Lillie, who tells Simon that she thinks she can win, because she's a chameleon. AC Slater has to interrupt her.
Singer: CARLITO OLIVERO
HitFix Interview
Song: "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You"
My Take: Carlito should know that he got really lucky not going home tonight. He's made a doubly smart song selection here, going with both Gloria Estefan, but also taking on a song that lets him do a little dancing. Carlito is, for me, much more successful as a showman than he is as a singer, so this is a bit better idea for him. Once again, I'd like to see more dancing or hear more singing from Carlos. Vocally, he's almost entirely lost in the mix at certain points, but at least his voice never detracts from the rhythm, which never quite gets him. And the dancing? It's fine. Overall, it's a bland-but-inoffensive performance that I won't remember at all in two hours, which isn't a great recipe for long-term success.
The Judges Say: Kelly compliments Carlito on his muscles, but she doesn't think he's getting lost as a performance. She wants him to be more suave and cool. "I actually found myself paying more attention to the dancers than to you," Demi says. "I'll bet you did," Simon responds. Simon says it's doubtful Carlito is going to stay, but he needs Carlito to take more control if he does remain. Paulina thinks they need to work on Carlito's face. "I'm gonna keep rocking out," Carlito says, reassuring Simon that he still loves him.
Singer: RION PAIGE
HitFix Interview
Song: "We Belong"
My Take: Rion was, indeed, born in 2000. And she thinks that the Spice Girls are from the '80s. Excellent. Kudos to Rion for even making Demi feel old. I'm not a fan of the '80s Barbie costume Rion has been given and the song starts a bit low-and-slow for her. She hits her sweet spot in the chorus and carries it through into the next verse. Just as she's building confidence, Rion gets lost in-yodel as she goes into the second chorus. There are some good, emotional moments, but this is not Rion at her best and the stupid fireworks behind her add nothing but distraction. I don't think Rion's in any danger, though. Heck, this was the best performance of the night so far, which isn't worth much.
The Judges Say: "You soared on the way home," Kelly says. "I just love how you feel the music," Paulina says. "No matter what song you're given, you perform it 110 percent," Simon says, but he worries Demi hasn't given her the right song yet, urging Rion to have more input. "I think you did great and I'm proud of you," Demi says.
Singer: SWEET SUSPENSE
HitFix Interview
Song: "Hey Mickey"
My Take: God, the costuming in this episode is just disastrous. Like why is Blonde Suspense looking like she's a femmed out extra from "Cruising"? Is it just because the dancing extras are out of the same "Cruising" bar? But leaving aside the weird costume decisions and the head-voice they've added to all of the high notes? This is cute, poppy and infectious. There's nothing even vaguely notable happening with the vocals. There's no harmony and the leads aren't strong, but it's probably closer to capturing an '80s spirit -- whatever the heck that means -- than anything else we've had so far. I'm grading everything on a curve tonight, though. And, once again, stupid pyrotechnics.
The Judges Say: "I felt like this week, you guys didn't actually settle into a rhythm with each other," Kelly says, telling them they needed to be better vocally. Paulina wants them to look at each other more. "My favorite part of the whole thing was the fire, to be honest," Demi says. Simon thinks this was their best performance so far. "They're no Fifth Harmony," Demi protests, as Sweet Suspense stands awkwardly and confused.
Singer: TIM OLSTAD
HitFix Interview
Song: "Against All Odds"
My Take: Sarah Hyland from "Modern Family" is a Tim Olstad fan. That's adorable. Wait. There's a sexy woman in a man's shirt standing in the fog dancing. Why the heck are we supposed to be paying any attention at all to Tim and his studded blazer? Tim's doing a much more vocally expansive take on Phil Collins than Jeff Gutt did on Thursday. He sounds good, but every second the camera isn't on the dancer, I'm annoyed and disappointed. And, let's be honest, this is the least central an "X Factor" has ever been to an "X Factor" performance. The director knows darned well who the star here is. It's either the dancing girl or Sarah Hyland, who's in the crowd rooting Tim on. Will they introduce the dancer at the end? Will Simon leer?
The Judges Say: "That still fell flat for me this week. There was no presence," Kelly says, as Sarah Hyland boos. Paulina disagrees, of course. "You sang like Tim," Paulina says. "There's no X Factor," Demi says, adding that she'd send Tim home. Simon and Demi agree that the dancer stole the show. "You've got to do something a little bit more outside of your comfort zone," Simon says.
Singer: KHAYA COHEN
HitFix Interview
Song: "Borderline"
My Take: Ah, the fingerless gloves. I guess that's all we wore back in the '80s. It's Madonna-by-way-of-Adele and, musically, I'm growing into a big ol' Khaya fan. But what the heck is up with Demi's insistence on pushing Sexy Khaya? The part where Khaya's down at the judging platform cooing at Simon makes Demi giddy, but it does nothing for me. On the other hand, in the second half of the performance, when Khaya does some things with her voice that Madonna could never even conceive of, it's actually terrific. Leaving the gloves and the dancing out of the equation, this is the first performance of the night that I'd call "good" without any real qualifiers. That was just a darned solid performance on a tough theme night.
The Judges Say: Kelly thinks Khaya is ready for this whole music thing. Paulina thinks Khaya is brilliant. "Now you're showing personality. Now you're showing confidence," Simon says, calling her special and saying she's getting better and better. "Work! You killed it," Demi says, adding a snap.
Singer: RESTLESS ROAD
HitFix Interview
Song: "Footloose"
My Take: More distracting dancers. In this case, it's women in Daisy Dukes playing pinball. This performance is a showcase for Neckbeard, who gets to do lead vocals. Deep Voice has a couple moments, but we have to wait nearly two-thirds for Jason Street to sing anything, which seems like an under-utilization. Nobody's making the Restless Road guys do much dancing, but they're still very limited in how they can use the stage, especially with the dancing honeys blocking them at nearly every path. The director was less distracted by these dancers than with Tim's accompaniment, but it's close. This won't hurt them much, but it probably won't help them much either. They don't much help, of course.
The Judges Say: Paulina loved it. Kelly will be front row at their concert. Demi is pleased, but she doesn't want Neckbeard to steal the show. "I love the fact that you love being here," Simon says.
Singer: RACHEL POTTER
HitFix Interview
Song: "Alone"
My Take: This isn't a song that I would sing on a reality competition. Carrie Underwood did it. And she did it well. Allison Iraheta did it well. Others have done it well. Rachel may look better in leather and she may have an admirable ability to withstand a blasting wind machine, but she doesn't really have a big enough voice for this song. She's trying hard. I can't say otherwise. But especially on the higher parts, her voice is really thin.
The Judges Say: Paulina says this proved that Rachel is also an entertainer. "You make me so proud every week and you're not even in my category," Demi says, comparing her to Martina McBride and Shania Twain. "Thank God you have a proper song," Simon says, accusing her of screaming on the high note. "I don't think anybody else in her category really hits those notes," Kelly says. Simon isn't sure this showed her off as a country artist, but Rachel insists that Carrie Underwood did it. Demi tries saying Rachel did it wrong, which is incorrect.
Singer: ELLONA SANTIAGO
HitFix Interview
Song: "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"
My Take: All of these performances are stage-designed like the worst '80s music videos imaginable. There's a way to do '80s without making it kitch, even if "The Goldbergs" struggles with this as well. Ellona and Carlito have the same problem, with having to stand out as both as a singer and a dancer. Ellona just happens to be both a better singer and a better dancer than Carlito. She does some actual moves with the dancer -- even with a slip midway through -- and as the song builds, her voice stays impressively strong. There's some lung power required to improve throughout a performance like this and Ellona did. Maintaining lung strength even after a tiny gaffe is even more admirable.
The Judges Say: "You are so incredible. I love watching you," Kelly says, calling the start a bit weak. Paulina loves that Ellona is a perfectionist. "I thought the first two-thirds of the song were literally mad," Simon says, but he calls the last 30 seconds great. He wants to see Ellona sing with a bit less choreography. Demi acknowledges Ellona's slip, but says she still killed it.
Singer: JOSH LEVI
Song: "Straight Up"
My Take: Josh was really nervous about having to sing and dance at the same time, but did they abandon most of the dancing? I mean, he runs down four or five steps. And he does a couple little slide steps. If this is the peak of his dancing ability, it makes no sense to be expect him to do both. He's high energy, but after two straight performances singing decently without any dancing, it's a disappointment to see him returning to something this mediocre.
The Judges Say: "I think you, young man, have just arrived," Kelly says. Really? She thinks, though, that Josh lives too much in his head. "It was the smartest thing that she ever did to bring you back. you are so amazing," Demi says. Yeah, I'm confused. Simon calls Josh "a future star" and "absolutely sensation." "What a great job, you delivered every single note," Paulina says. Yeah, that was not what I saw or heard at all.
Singer: JEFF GUTT
HitFix Interview
Song: "(I Just) Died In Your Arms"
My Take: I'm sure the "X Factor" target demo loves it some Cutting Crew. As women dance in red-tinted "Chicago"-style cubicles, Jeff bellows for 90 seconds. At some point, he leaves a Stargate on a riser. At some point, he takes off his jacket. At some point he waves his arm in the direction of the crowd. Mostly? He bellows monotonously. It doesn't build to anything. It's bellowing from the first note, to the last note.
The Judges Say: Paulina is pleased. Demi thinks we need someone like Jeff. "It was a little bit like 'I Want To Be a Rock Star,'" Simon says, adding that he won't remember, telling Jeff it's a tiny bit Spinal Tap at the moment. Kelly says Jeff is no stranger to hard work.
Singer: ALEX & SIERRA
HitFix Interview
Song: "Addicted to Love"
My Take: Sierra's Irish line-dancing is my new everything. The song has been almost entirely deconstructed and built up around the musical-style staging, with Alex and Sierra in separate bedrooms starting off apart, but coming together as the song progresses. If I just want Jeff Gutt to join a touring company of "Rock of Ages," it's possible that all I want from Alex & Sierra is a really good production of "Once." This is the first staging tonight that I enjoyed, but this is a more interesting conceptual performance than it is an Alex & Sierra music performance. I want these two to stand together and be cute, not to play star-crossed lovers who get together in the end. Oh well.
The Judges Say: Kelly wanted them together more, which I guess I agree with. Paulina calls them "Bohemian" and "vintage." Demi felt that Sierra looked uncomfortable in her shoes and wanted the performance more organic. Simon felt like they lost the melody in the beginning and "it wasn't as good as it should have been."
9:59 p.m. Interesting. Asked for highlights, all three of the women say their own acts and Simon says Josh Levi. I didn't like Josh, but it's interesting that only Simon went outside of his box.
10:00 p.m. Yeah. That was a pretty weak, boring night on every level. I can't instantly predict who's going home with Carlito, but Lillie could be in trouble.
Who did you like? Who's going home?

Rick Perry Gives Small California Gun Shop a Big Texas Welcome
Office of the Governor
It's thirsty work being Rick Perry. You have to stand in the warm May sun outside a gun shop and wax poetic about the virtues of firearms, laissez-faire capitalism and how much California blows. It's no wonder then that you would promptly hightail it across town to the local brewery. After all, what could go better with guns than beer?
The correct answer is whiskey of course, but there's no commercial distillery in Shiner, where Governor Perry gave a warm Texas welcome to Shield Tactical, which is both the state's newest firearms retailer and a refugee from California's gun regulations.
In the Golden State, "it's like before you put up your range you have to be worried about whether the noise level is going to bother the 10-headed duckmouse," Shield Tactical's John Harrington explained to The New York Times. In Texas, "it's an iota of bureaucracy."
With the move to Shiner, everyone's happy. Harrington gets to escape burdensome regulations while Perry gets to crow that his effort to lure businesses from California, which seemed to the untrained eye like a shallow publicity stunt, has been a success. And all parties get to milk it for everything it's worth.

Mesquite Championship Rodeo
TicketsSat., Oct. 1, 7:30pm
Shield Tactical doesn't seem to be a particularly large catch. It's not one of the gun manufacturers Perry and lawmakers have been wooing. It's a modest, family-owned affair that sells guns and offers training. There were no handy figures on how many people it employs, but claiming that it's an economic development coup is a stretch.
For Shield Tactical, the publicity generated will more than pay for the move. And while Harrington's complaints about California are genuine enough, they seem more calculated to play on the conservative hysteria over gun control. You don't print up "Shove Gun Control Up Your ... (picture of a Democratic donkey)" T-shirts when you're making a thoughtful critique of a state government's regulatory policies.

Jim Barber| about 5 years ago
I started a Bus Bucks program on my elementary school route 10-12 years ago. Our buses had cartoon characters by the door along with the bus number so the youngest kids would recognize their bus before boarding. My bus had the Disney character "Goofy." I copied a face picture of Goofy onto the bus bucks, which were marked "1 bus buck" in the corners like real money. I kept a stack handy and when a kid was noticably well behaved I handed them one as they got off the bus. I also made a certificate, commending a student for being a good example, that had a space for their name. After a student received 5 bus bucks they received a certificate and their picture was taken holding the certificate. At the time I had a button making machine. I put the picture on a magnetized button (refrigerator type) and displayed it on the overhead bulkhead at the front of the bus. By the end of the year every student had earned their button which I gave to them on the last day of school. A young lady approached me one day in the grocery store and told me she still had her button from when she had been one of my riders.

When Kathryn Bigelow and her "Hurt Locker" writer Mark Boal first announced that they were working on an Osama Bin Laden film, the plan was to tell a story about the pursuit of the Al-Qaeda leader in Tora Bora in 2001.
But then President Obama revealed that an operation was conducted in Pakistan that resulted in the death of Bin Laden. Bigelow and Boal quickly decided to set aside their finished script and start over on a new Bin Laden movie, which became "Zero Dark Thirty."
Now in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bigelow and Boal said they are considering revisiting their original script at some point to make a "Zero Dark Thirty" prequel. "
Nobody likes to throw out two years of work,
" added Boal.

Since it won't involve the actuall killing of Bin Laden, what the hell could it possibly be about, besides more scenes of "government intelligence"? -- people standing around in rooms, talking, looking at satellite photos etc. Yeah, sounds like a real thrill ride.
Hows about a prequel to Point Break? Johnny Utah: The Early Years

Kathryn Bigelow Wants to Make "Zero Dark Thirty" Prequel
Will that be about how George Bush and Bin Laden first met.
on November 26th, 2012 at 12:13:26 PM
It'll be about how George Bush failed just like Mitt Romney and the rest of the GOP. LOL!!!

^^This guy really has some serious issues. Probably the only gay guy with a Yin Yang dildo.
Anyway. Great. Just great. The news that is. A prequel. A prequel to a film no one is sure will even make it's budget back, and you can be assured if no one cares about Obama's death, I mean Osama's (easy to get them confused: they're both dark-skinned foreigners who want to to destroy America) they don't care about the failed attempt to capture him way back in 2001.
Have to wonder though. Did Osama think, way back then, he'd die the way he did? Bet that f*cker thought he'd live another twenty years on rice, curry, shawarma and Price is Right re-runs.
9-11 that, camelf*cker.

Just read that the character center of this film, which should depict military men killing a terrorist and the events leading up to said killing, is a woman.
Yep. There goes my ticket.

Don't care

We know the military leadership who were at Tora Bora. I also know the actor who leaked an original script and story to Bigelow and Boal upon which they base their silly
"prequel". They shamelessly continue to take credit (as they did with The Hurt Locker) for other people's work. Two years? The script that was jacked (which is entering production) was copyrighted with the Library of Congress in 2004. Seriously, they shouldn't think they're above the Law.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - With a fight for first place that came down to the final event, Colorado State rallied in its final relay against New Mexico and won a key conference meet, 156-141, Saturday at Moby Pool.
Jennifer Lamb brought the score up to 143-137, in favor of the Rams (4-5, 1-1 Mountain West), after she took a close first place in the 400 IM. Finishing at 4:40.51, Lamb's time was only 21 hundredths of a second faster than her opponent from New Mexico, which fell to 2-3 (1-3 MW).
"J-Lamb was big in that 400 IM," Head Coach Chris Woodard said. "That helped us a great deal because it was neck and neck at that point, so that touch out really put us in a good position."
Following Lamb, Tess Simpson, Lydia Templin, Shelley Perkins and Kim Schemahorn, in the 200 Free Relay, made it to the wall with a time of one minute, 7.06 seconds. The Lobos were only a third of a second away from taking the win from the Rams when they tapped in with a time of 1:37.37. This relay finish clinched the win for CSU.
Schemahorn dominated the pool all weekend. Friday against Northern Colorado she took two individual first-place finishes in the 200 IM and the 100 Freestyle, and also helped win the 200 Medley Relay. If Schemahorn was tired, she did not show it. Saturday, she won every event in which she participated. Schemahorn shined in the anchor position in both of the first-place teams in the 200 Medley Relay and the 200 Freestyle Relay. In individual events, she placed first in both the 50 and 100 freestyles with times of 24.34 and 53.16, respectively.
"Kim across the board had great races in her relays and her individuals," Woodard said. "That was pretty huge for us."
Coming back from the winter break and concentrated training, the Rams faced back-to-back dual meets Friday and Saturday. Although they took home a win Friday, their dual meet against UNC showed their fatigue. So the Rams were hoping to see more improvement Saturday compared to Friday.
"I think we made a lot less technical errors," Woodard said, "and I think we were a lot more aggressive in the front part of our swims. Those were definitely two things I wanted to see."
The Rams now have one week to cool off before they face conference-rival Boise State Saturday in Boise, Idaho. The Broncos are currently ranked third in the Mountain West with a record of 7-2.
"I'm hoping that we start reaping the rewards of the training that we did over our training camp," Woodard said. "It usually takes about a week to re-acclimate. I know they're feeling sore and tired right now, so I'm hoping that next week they start to feel a little bit better with their training and if that happens, I think they'll feel confident going up against Boise."

Prehypertension is 'on the map' of cardiovascular risk factors
Prehypertension and cardiovascular disease risk in the women's health initiative.

Prehypertension and cardiovascular disease risk in the women's health initiative.
When we switched on the gene that causes increases in CRP, the blood pressure went up, and when we turned off the gene and CRP levels went down, the blood pressure fell.
Happy countries have fewer blood pressure problems. Mental health in each country, they show, is also inversely correlated with its rate of hypertension.
The structure and function of a gene crucial to the regulation of blood pressure has been clearly demonstrated by new research.
Teenagers are more likely to have higher blood pressure if they spend a lot of time in front of the TV.
Patients with high blood pressure are more likely to develop new onset diabetes than those who don't have hypertension.
Many patients with high blood pressure have sought relief from complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Many have consumed danshen, a Chinese herb used in Oriental medicine that promotes blood flow, treats cardiovascular disease.
For kids with high blood pressure, surgery can help when medicines fail.
One key to your high blood pressure might just be your inflammatory genes.
By age 10, some black children already have high nighttime blood pressure, an early signal of impending cardiovascular disease, a new study shows.

1998 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan
I bought my civic 6 years ago on a junk title. It has always started for me and never let me down. It is so faithful that I am even bored with it! What a good car. Nothing exciting, just faithful.
reliability is just incredible.
paint is junk.
I bought the car used with 144K miles on it, from someone who commuted 140 miles a day. It now has 226K miles. I am conscientious about recommended maintenance, and of course brakes and exhaust have been replaced. Other than that the ONLY repairs have been a squealing idler pulley, and the ignition switch replaced under a recall. Still rides and handles well, looks good, no rattles.
I got my 98 civic 4dr ex my junior year of high school. I'm still driving after 11 years. I just hit 150,000 miles with all the commuting back and forth to work and back. It's about a 50 mile commute round trip. This is my first car and it's going to be sad when I have to let him. A lot of good memories. No major issue and very reliable car. I have gone through about 4 or 5 sets of tires, 3 brakes and rotors, 2 exhaust pipes, replaced 1 turn signal light bulb, Timing belt, water pump, 2 CV boots (city has a lot of pot holes), and a turn up. The worst thing that happen was a crack gasket which cause the antifreeze to leak.
MPG, reliability, handle
Good little car. I've been driving this car for more than 5 years, and have had very little go wrong with it. Great gas mileage, good pep, really comfortable. My car has over 200K miles on it, and it is still going strong.
Gas mileage, reliability
I bought this car new and have been driving it for almost 10 years in all kinds of weather conditions. It is a good car: well built, good finish, reliable, and economical on gas and repair bills. The only major faults I have with it are excessive highway noise and a low door sill making it difficult to get in and out of the car.
Mechanical reliability.
Better sound insulation and higher door sill.

WEMBLEY, England (AP) – Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has called on the players to respond to the challenge which faces them next season - primarily improving their league form.
Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea denied the Reds the chance of a domestic cup double and effectively ended their season with two games remaining.
But of greater concern has been the club's league form, particularly since the turn of the year when they have won just four and lost 10 of 17 Barclays Premier League matches in 2012.
A return of 15 points from a possible 51 sees Kenny Dalglish's side face the prospect of possibly finishing outside the top 10.
Two months ago had Liverpool beaten Arsenal at home and not lost in injury time they would have moved within four points of the Gunners with a match in hand.
Instead they are now 18 points behind Arsene Wenger's team and their prospects of making a bid for Champions League qualification next season seem further away than they were at the start of the current campaign.
"We need to dust ourselves down and we need to respond to the challenge next year," said Gerrard.
"We need to come back. Football is about highs and lows, it's certainly been a low today.
"We've been fantastic in the cup competitions this year and the players deserve a lot of credit for that.
"We haven't been good enough in the league this year and we deserve criticism and we need to take criticism like men.
"We need to do better. We're Liverpool Football Club; we're not seventh or eighth in the league. We're better than that."
Despite a poor start to Saturday's Wembley final, going 2-0 down to goals by Ramires and Didier Drogba in just less than an hour,
Liverpool dragged themselves back into the game in the final 30 minutes.
That was mainly due to the arrival of substitute Andy Carroll who scored one and had a late header clawed away by goalkeeper Petr Cech, with television replays inconclusive as to whether the ball had crossed the line.
Gerrard felt they deserved more than they got out of that last-ditch charge but admitted they should have done more to make the match a contest earlier.
"I think on our second half performance we certainly deserved to take Chelsea to extra-time," the England midfielder told liverpoolfc.tv.
"But I don't think we did enough over the 90 minutes to deserve to win the game.
"I think, given the pressure we put them under second half, we're a bit disappointed we didn't get extra-time out of it.
"That's the frustration. Looking back, we never got going until 30 minutes into the game and I think we got even better once Andy came on and we finished the game a lot stronger than Chelsea.
"That's why I believe we just did enough to get a draw out of the game. I wouldn't say we did enough to win the game."
The debate over whether Carroll's header crossed the line is still rumbling on now and Gerrard accepted it was tough call for the assistant referee.
"It's difficult for the officials," said the 31-year-old.
"Obviously from a biased point of view, we've got an argument with the computer image but the officials have got an impossible task when it's so close and until technology comes in, then with decisions like that, you can't really put a big argument forward.
"It's one of those things: Chelsea got a bit of luck against Tottenham in the semi (when they had a goal awarded despite the ball appearing not to cross the line).
"They got a bit of luck again yesterday. Maybe this was their year."

You can see a list of received contributions under the cut so if you've already sent in yours, do double check that we've safely got it. If your name is not on the list, please re-send it.
We had the great honor of interviewing Rose McGowan for the second time exclusively for Rose-McGowan.com. Most of the questions are leftovers from our previous Q&A – we received so many questions from Rose's fans from all over the world that there simply was not enough time to get to them all the first time around! So if you submitted a question for Rose in 2007, chances are you've got your reply now! The Q&A is a very interesting read as Rose discusses The Bell Jar, her role in Nip/Tuck, a possible re-appearance as Cherry Darling and much, much more!
A huge "thank you" goes out to Rose for being so amazing to her fans and making this possible! She truly is a star!
Read our new fan Q&A with Rose McGowan here!
To pay tribute to our favorite star, Rose McGowan, and to celebrate her upcoming 36th birthday, Rose-McGowan.com has decided to launch a Birthday Project in honor of the actress.
The point of this project is for fans from all around the world to gather together and make a collective and creative effort to wish our favorite actress a happy birthday. We are going to put together a unique scrapbook that consists of your letters, poetry, fan art and photographs inspired by Rose McGowan; perhaps to give something back for all of the amazing films and entertainment that she has provided us throughout the years. This special gift will be presented to Rose just prior to her 36th birthday on September 5th. It is our chance to send a message to Rose and tell her just how much you enjoy her work and wish her a happy birthday! Remember to be creative and have fun! Let's show her that we really mean HAPPY 36th BIRTHDAY!
Please click here for further details on the project, what to send and how to send in your contribution.
Since so many of our readers use Twitter, I thought I'd go ahead and make a Twitter account for the Rose-McGowan.com site as well. It will automatically update whenever there's an update on the main site, which makes it an easy way to stay tuned on the site updates. So be sure to follow us if you're on Twitter at rosemcgowancom! 😉
I went through all of our affiliates today and deleted all broken links and sites not linking back to us. Affiliation is now closed for the time being.
If I deleted your site by accident, please contact us and provide a link to the page where you have linked us and I will gladly add you back.
We have now opened the press library of Rose-McGowan.com. There you will find an extensive collection of Rose McGowan articles, magazine transcripts, film reviews and news pieces, with the current total of 57. We have many articles, including some dating back to 1995! Hugs for lending a helping hand go out to Lisa, RoseRocks and Charlotte – thank you ladies! If you have something you wish to contribute, please contact us.

DETROIT - The embarrassment was worst in the 69th inning of this eight-game losing streak, when the Phillies played a brand of baseball unrecognizable during the Charlie Manuel era.
Darin Ruf committed the inning's third error. Jimmy Rollins crouched in front of second base and drew in the dirt with his right hand as a 12-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers evolved.
"That," Rollins said, "was embarrassing."
There is no more hope for 2013, another season that is sure to end without postseason baseball in South Philadelphia. Manuel's tenure as manager is destined to end when this season concludes. Whatever veteran parts Ruben Amaro Jr. can trade before Wednesday will be jettisoned.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Machiavelli Palace Florence
This a nice hotel, in a great location, with a helpful staff e a very good breakfast. The shower is strong and hot, the room is clean and you can spent here your vacation in peace.
Great Location
We stayed at the Machiavelli in early October. As you might already know, the Machiavelli is a former convent. The room we were assigned was very small, the bed not very comfortable, and in the bathroom, the curtain in the shower did not hold in the water, as a result the bathroom got flooded. I went to the desk and very nicely asked if we could possibly move to a larger room with a shower that doesn't flood, they very willingly accommodated us. The breakfast at the hotel was good, but not as good as Rome. The location of the hotel is great...walking distance from the train station and around the corner from the straw market. Not once were we afraid. Cafes, trattorias, pizzerias, and restaurants are abundant as are bakeries. Fresh bread across the street. Plenty of ATMS nearby also, although they were not working one day. We also asked the front desk about hiring a driver to take us through Tuscany. Their recommendation was fantastic. The van was extremely comfortable, the driver did not speak English but was absolutely fantastic. He took us (2 couples) and another couple from another hotel to Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano, and Sienna. Left hotel at 9:00 a.m and returned at 8:45 p.m. What a day and the cost was only 100 Euro per couple (plus tip of course!). He waited for us as we toured these fantastic towns and the view of Tuscany was incredible. All in all I would recommend the Machiavelli for a short stay (3-5 nights), but for a longer stay I would want something a little bigger.
Location, Location, Location! this is one of the best hotels to stay at while visiting the beautiful city of Florence! The staff is friendly and helpful and they even arranged for us to have a car service while we went outlet shopping! Rooms are huge clean and the bathrooms are immaculate!!! It's near the train station and the market place- so any last minute shopping you need done- you can do here! It is is near the duomo and a bank if you are short on cash! have fun!
A fine 3 star hotel
We stayed at the Hotel Machiavelli at the end of July, 2004. For a 3 star hotel, it was nice and clean. The main train station is about 2 blocks away and the main sightseeing locations are within walking distance. We walked everywhere. We stayed on the 3rd floor where there is an outdoor patio. We found the breakfast to be sufficent and the rooms good. Bed was a little hard. Staff spoke perfect english. We used a coin laundry about 2 blocks away and an internet cafe was across from that. All in all.... good and would recommend for value.
Good location - near train station and market!
When we first arrived, the neighborhood did make us a bit worried. The hotel was across the street from a rundown empty warehouse giving us the impression that we were in a bad part of town, possibly prone to pick-pocketers and gangsters. However, after staying there for 2 days, we grew to feel a bit safer and like the location much more. Just minutes from the train station, open market, restaurants, shops, and a short walk to other major Florence attractions, our hotel was close to everything, including a travel agency that arranged tours of the city and Siena/San Giminiano (a must!). The room was average. Clean and quiet. The breakfast buffet provided enough rolls, bread, processed pate/cheese, cold cuts, fruits, cereal, & coffee/tea to get us through at least 'til lunch time!
Palace review
Stayed with a friend for a week at the machiavelli Palace. Situated near the main station, about 5 mins walk away one you find the right turning. Don't be put off by the street it's in - just turn the corner past the hotel and enter a lovely Florentine area, near the San Lorenzo market, an excellent Deli about 1 minute away, a realyy good value Trattoria, and a cafe selling a good cuppa over the road. Rooms were nice, ours was quiet, overlooking small courtyard, nice and clean and airy. Very good breakfast included, good slection of cheeses, meat, cereals, juices, croissants etc, each as much as you want. very small bar in hotel, which didn't appear to open after 10pm.. Service from staff was variable - weren't made to feel too welcome when we arrived, but other staff were helpful and informative e.g finding out bus times to Sienna (the main bus station is baout 8 min walk away opposite Santa Maria Novella Church). Hotel has nice sun terrace on 3rd floor, it isn't advertised in the reception, we only knew cos found it mentioned on the 'net. Good sun trap, views of Duoma. Hotel is OK about you taking your own food in to eat, it doesn't have a restaruant, but there's plenty nearby.
We'd certainly recommend it for anyone wanting good value, good breakfast and excellent location - less than 5 mins to main Duomo piazza.
Loved the drapes
the hotel was really nice....clean bathroom, with everything needed, clean room, nice drapes, which gave the room the look of a castle camera...really cool
Give this place a whirl in Florence
Stayed there in March 2003Rooms are a good size, but we did flood our bathroom almost after every shower. The hotel staff speaks english and they are very nice and accomodating. Its in a great location, walking distance from the train station and the tourist sites. Breakfast is good and included in the room price.

... rejoiced and relished their rebelliousness and opportunity to experience Florence night life. They arrived home at 3 am to grumbles from Kirsty and a text from Shay to his mother from his bed to say he was home. To their credit, by 930 am they had enjoyed breakfast at the hotel and accompanied us on a walk into town. I had better stop now as Shay is now trying to have a sleep and is complaining that I am hitting the key board too ...
Lets try again!
... ordered an entr�e of delicious cheese and then the fillet that Alex had mentioned for mains. Soon we were eating the most delicious meal of fillet steak cooked perfectly with little baby potatoes and a salad. We stumbled home full of food and wine to our hot hotel room. With only a fan to cool us down it was going to be a long night, but we reminded ourselves it was better than pantry moths and smelly ...
Day 14 - Destination reached!
... EUR per 100 g in different places. But the minimum was from 700 g to 1 kg. Can you imagine - minimum they will cook is 1 kg of meat! Crazy!
The first place we went to was nothing special. We figured they made the Fiorentini same in every place, but we were wrong. So we ordered one and waited for it all excited. It was supposed to be a T-bone steak, but I don't know much about steak. When it arrived on a wooden board, it looked good ...

The status quo is not working, we need change. I need your help in making that change.

Skip to comments.SUPPORT OUR TROOPS - Patriots Rally for America IV - Saturday, March 1, 2003, Washington, D.C.
Posted on 02/18/2003 8:35:34 PM PST by Angelwood
This is important. Drop what youre doing. Pack the car, get on a plane, a train, a bus or start walking. Our troops need your support right now! Theyre laying it on the line for us overseas and all they are seeing in the media is hundreds of thousands of anti-war/anti-American demonstrators marching in our streets.
As evidenced by this article Anti-war Protests Anger U.S. Troops Inside Kuwait those demonstrations are starting to affect morale. You can do something about that, but it will take time, effort and sacrifice -- a modest sacrifice compared to our men and women in uniform waiting for the the word to take out Saddam and his tyrannical terrorist regime.
The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic urges all FReepers and lurkers in good standing, as well as their friends and families, veterans and their friends and families and all others who want to stand up for America and support our troops to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, March 1, 2003 for the Patriots Rally for America IV from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m at the outdoor Sylvan Theater on the grounds of the Washington Monument.
As the United States prepares to take the next step in the war on terrorism with probable action in Iraq, it is imperative that we get out and show support for our troops, our Commander-in-Chief and all thats good about America.
Our troops are there to give their lives if necessary in order to prevent another 9-11 from happening to us. Now more than ever, they need to see your support back home. Please dont let them down.
We are asking you to bring large American and Gadsden flags. Also, signs bearing messages supporting America, our troops, our Commander-in-Chief and the war on terrorism.
That same day, anti-American leftists will be holding an "anti-war" rally and march in D.C. The "anti-war" rally, organized by IAC-A.N.S.W.E.R. , a front group for the communist World Workers Party, will be held on the Mall near the Capitol Building between 3rd Street and 7th Street, N.W. The organizers have permitted other sites as staging areas for many in their group to assemble and then march to the main event. Some of these staging areas include: Constitution Gardens by the Vietnam War Memorial, the Northeast quadrant of the Washington Monument, and Freedom Plaza at 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Another group has plans to assemble in the DuPont Circle area and march to Constitution Avenue, N.W. between 17th and 23rd Streets.
We do not expect any trouble from those groups. Law enforcement officers will be everywhere to keep the peace and ensure that everyones rights are respected.
As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for demonstrating will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no threats, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.
When: Saturday, March 1, 2003 from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., rain or shine.
Where: The Sylvan Theater, located on the south side of the Washington Monument grounds at Independence Avenue and 15th Street, S.W.
We will also need volunteers to help at the rally. Please contact Kristinn at firstname.lastname@example.com if you will be attending and would like to work with us.
If you want to be removed from my ping lists, please FReepmail me.
It will be great to see you again, and stand side by side with you again in the cause of America. It doesn't get any better than that,.
With Great Respect,
Congressman Billybob
See you there!

The bodies were made of thin strips fused onto a base then over sewn ,the wings were of muslin that I pulled threads out of and generally damaged then I fused and over sewed them on the feelers and legs of the small bee were free motion embroidered on my machine. I hope that gives you enough info to give them a go yourself .cheers Dawn

Until a hundred years ago, it was considered an economic disaster to find oil on one's land. In a primarily agricultural economy, watching crude bubbling out of the ground in the middle of one's barley meant no barley, no other way to start making money off that land, and no way to unload it by selling it to someone else.
How things have changed.
Last week the price of crude oil on the world market hit historic highs. In a mere century we have managed to run through what millions dinosaurs gave their lives for so we 21st-century humans can drive six-passenger sedans all by ourselves to spend an hour at the gym. Along the path of this progress, we have created techno-industrial miracles and disasters; we have created vast wealth; and we have built a momentum that no one individual seems capable of turning, much less stopping.
As we watch in horrified fascination at the rising cost of crude, it is natural to ask ourselves two questions: Why is this happening and what can we do about it?
The first question has been more than adequately answered. With a combination of decreasing supply, increasing demand and escalating risk in the parts of the world most of the oil comes from, prices sail.
The second question has no such clear answers. Some of the things we can do, we shouldn't do, and some of the things we should do, we just damn well won't do. Many of the things we absolutely refuse to do are probably central to every workable solution.
To overcome our own resistance to changing anything about our lives except the price of our energy, we must confront certain realities. One of these realities is economic.
What makes something "valuable" is a combination of two key properties: scarcity and utility.
Simply put, the scarcer something is, the more valuable it tends to be. And the more useful something is, the more valuable it tends to be.
Something that is both scarce and useful is worth far more than that which is common and useless. If we want to lower the price of any commodity, we do it by either increasing its availability or finding suitable alternatives that perform the same function.
Well, we can't make more oil. No matter how much more of it we might find, we will always be up against a finite supply, one that will eventually run out.
If no suitable alternatives are found, the price of oil will, at some point, begin to rise exponentially. That will finish most economies in the world.
We can - must - develop alternative fuels, especially those that can be renewed. Biofuels. This must be done. We are taking the first steps now, but obviously we're not stepping fast enough to relieve pressure on oil prices.
Closely related to biofuels, and far, far more humbly supported by either government or industry right now, are the renewable alternatives to petroleum-based solvents and other such petroleum derivatives. The potential return in this segment of the market appears to be substantially higher than in biofuels, and renewable solvents also exert downward pressure on crude oil prices.
We also can reduce the risk associated with extracting crude oil. Right now the single biggest risk factor boosting oil prices is the political situation in the Middle East.
From Israel to Lebanon to Jordan to Syria to Iraq to Iran to Afghanistan, we have one long, contiguous chain of nation states inflamed by religious animosities, armed with the best conventional weapons the world can provide, and either threatening or actively letting each other's blood as we sit. But doing anything useful about that risk is a politico-economic decision for our government.
So let's assume the best. Let's assume we see a sudden and immediate cooling of the heads of state and the price of oil dropping to, say, $40 a barrel. (We don't want anybody going bankrupt.) And by next week we're all paying a buck 50 a gallon for our go juice.
Will we remember this ride, this terrifying peek into a world of energy availability and prices we simply cannot afford?
Will we set ourselves to turning America's creative genius toward solving this problem and fund those expectations accordingly?
Or will we, with what passes for wisdom in America, gas up the Suburban and head for the mountains?

I bolded the important parts. You want to prove that you can play seriously, and that TW players have skill yet want a handicap advantage. Winning due to a handicap
does not
make you skilled, and
does not
mean you play seriously. It means that you require the odds to be stacked, much like when grifters hussle people with card games and cup games. Even if they took you seriously your game would prove nothing with that rule set. Claiming you need them due to them playing longer is a poor excuse like blaming lag in a game where everyone lags. You already get an advantage of them not being able to use their main suits but you want more to make sure you win. That Weis, is not fair and you know it. What more do you want to add on top of that? Your team gets 2 Psychos and 2 Aps while the others have to use C ranks? They can only use their mice? A best two out of three or even to appease you a best four out of seven is the only real way to settle something seeing as it would be on TW.
Point 1: Metty are you playing?
Point 2: Are we speaking that we are any better than them? We are simply saying we can play. And we will show that we have skills besides diving like people just stand there and jump off.
The point here is that they keep sayin people dive and can't play at all. We are saying even some dive, we still will play and we will be able to kill more than 2/3 of their life bar. How is that bad?
If those that keep diving. Like Seim had posted once in a point match. 15 V 1XX
Point 3: If they can't use S rank, we can't either. If their Main MS isn't here. And they can't play other MS... Then what kind of statement is that? We can't use the same "main MS" they have either. It is a limitation impose by the game company that everyone can be on even terms.
Point 4: So your saying that they will lose if they use C ranks? If that is the case, we all use C rank to match that. If they do not have an ACC here and has to create one.
Or just do the usual tornament rule. total of 12 points for the entire team.
A rank = 4 pts. B = 3, C = 2. The total cannot exceed 12.
But i guess 4/7 isn't so bad either on total matches.
Like I said, we are only proving we can play well. NOT WIN like PROs. That is not the point of this match setup. If they want an condition that can be agree upon.
We are fine with that. Just post it up.
Also who will be playing.
As for:
Guess what any player can do that, they don't even have to be skilled or be from KSDGO.[/
Lastly, NOT anyone can do it. Some players are better suited than others. I'll go in and I can't because I just stand there. So does that basically disprove your last statement?
