2003 Ford Focus Wagon SE 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
bought this at 81,000 miles was good until about 85,000. New motor mount, then a new engine, then a huge exhaust leak, then the engine was misfiring, then had to take it back to ford to get the lifters replaced, now i am waiting on it in the shop because they had to replace the instrument cluster. a total of about 5,000 in repairs in just a year. It's rediculous! i spend more time without a car then i do with one. I just barely hit 97k miles!
Nothing really, the seats i feel are comfertable some people complain about them the trunk is nicely sized too.
try learning to build a car ford. one that doesn't break down every month.
My wife bought this car new. In the time she had it there was very little maintenance done on it. Had to replace a tail light that had melted to the plastic holder. Had to drill the old one out. Car ran smooth. A couple of weeks ago another driver pulled out in front of her and my wife and 9 month baby hit them head on at over 45 MPH. The good news is they both walked away. Minor injuries. Insurance did not give is much money for it but they car crumbled and not my family. Other problems with the car was the radio stopped working but could not be turned off. It just blinked, and the tailgate release button was not working had to use the keypad.
Lots of room. Very safe car.
Fix taillights to not melt where you can not change them. Better radio. Air conditioner did not reach the back seat of car.
Picked this up just over a year ago with 38,000 miles on it & over a year of original powertrain warranty left. Since then, it's been into the shop many times. I've spent over $3,000 repairing this vehicle, replacing the a/c compressor, the a/c condenser, the alternator, the tensioner pulley, & the front sway bars amongst other things. None of the repairs were covered by the warranty. The car now has 47,300 miles on it, & I can't wait to trade it in. In my opinion, I think that overall, it's a good idea poorly executed, put together with poor quality parts.
Appearance, ride, handling - it got me into the dealership, & I was impressed with the test drive
This is a great little wagon with exceptional gas mileage. Right now has 100,000 on it an still running nicely. The ignition lock froze up around 70,000 and had to be replaced and the shift solenoid in the tranny was just done last week. Other than that, just general maintenance. Have driven this car all over the country and it's always started and run nicely. I do not go to dealerships for upkeep on my car, I go to Firestone so haven't had problems with recurrent brake issues, etc.
Cargo space, gas mileage, comfortable.
Fix the problem with the frozen ignitions.
This is my first car and so far it has been great. We've had it for a year and it hasn't had so much as a battery problem-Extremely reliable. The car is easy and fun to drive with tight steering and a lot of zip to it. Both the interior and exterior have a really cool design. I do a have some complaints; The interior-actually the whole car- has an overuse of cheap plastic and the brakes squeak, but only in very cold, rainy, or snowy weather. If you're looking for a reliable car you can't go wrong with the Focus.
Reliable, fun to drive, easy to drive and great mpg.
Make the interior a little less cheap, no more plastic door handles, fix the brakes!

Lost Ancient Apple Ad Explains A Lot, Actually
Apple never let it air, worrying that it was too "self-congratulatory." Today, though, it feels strikingly familiar.
Original Mac team member Andy Hertzfeld, now a Googler, posted a previously (nearly) unseen 1983 Apple ad on Google+:
Here's a rare commercial for the original Macintosh that Chiat-Day made in the fall of 1983, featuring snippets from interviews of the design team. It never aired because Apple deemed it too self-congratulatory, although it was used in some promotional materials sent to dealers.
Shortly thereafter, Apple released a vastly different kind of ad: Ridley Scott's dystopic, and now iconic, 1984 spot. The ads were created within months of one another by Chiat/Day, the ad firm Apple still uses, suggesting that they were created as part of the same campaign.
Apple doesn't make 1984-style ads anymore, but videos like this have become a staple. Whoever shot down the video for being too "self-congratulatory" clearly either left the company or, assuming it was Jobs, came around to the ad guys' thinking:
We see videos like that and assume they're very Apple-y, but I think maybe they're just very Chiat/Day-y. The two companies have been working together long enough that it's kind of hard to tell where one starts and the other begins.
Another thing: The video refers to these guys as "wizards," which was an actual job title at Apple for years. I'd read about that plenty of times before and never really thought anything of it, but now it occurs to me that maybe we should blame Apple for the awful epidemic of "ninjas" in Silicon Valley. Basically cancels out the iPhone, IMO.

Jury hands McQueary $7.3M in defamation case
O'Brien discusses challenges Penn State faces
PHILADELPHIA – Penn State's football program will head into the 2013 season at a significant scholarship disadvantage, one year before NCAA sanctions will force the Nittany Lions to be down to 65 scholarships.
Coach Bill O'Brien, on his second stop of a PSU coaches caravan tour Tuesday, explained where the Lions will stand this season.
"I think we'll be below FCS scholarship numbers," O'Brien said, referring to the Division I-AA limit of 65.
While most of the Big Ten members will be starting the fall with rosters consisting of up to 85 scholarship players, PSU figures to be under 65.
"If I had to estimate right now – and you have to do the math because it is important to understand how this works – I would say right now we would probably be at 66 scholarships on campus at Penn State," O'Brien said Tuesday.
However, O'Brien explained that three players under scholarship – Dakota Royer, Luke Graham and Anthony Stanko – are not expected to play football in the fall. They have left the team but will remain in school, and under the NCAA sanctions, they can remain on scholarship.
The scholarships do count against the team's total. Without those three, PSU would be at 63 scholarship players actually on the team.
"This is really a six-year sanction," O'Brien said. "We have until 2014 to get down to 65 scholarships. We're at 65 in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, and we're already at 65, probably, in August of 2013. So it's not just a four-year sanction."
Stanko, a redshirt freshman, became the latest PSU player to take advantage of the NCAA policy allowing them to leave the team but remain on scholarship for their education. O'Brien announced Stanko's decision Tuesday.
The coach also addressed details about the departure of quarterback Steven Bench, who decided last week to transfer.
"It's his right, and I respect what he did. He has the ability to transfer and go play somewhere else right away," O'Brien said.
"I don't want anybody to transfer. I don't want anybody to quit the team. I want them to play for Penn State. But that's something that they decided to do, and I'm not going to begrudge the fact that that is what he wanted to do if he feels like he's got a chance to be a starter somewhere else, or a better chance than at Penn State."
Injury concerns are also at the forefront of the second-year coach's mind, as his program attempts to ensure maximum safety at a time when roster depth is a primary concern.
Zach Zwinak, a 1,000-yard rusher in 2013, suffered a wrist injury on the third play of the Blue-White Game.
O'Brien joked, suggesting the injury was "non-life threatening," and said he believes Zwinak should be back and ready to play when Penn State opens the 2013 season at MetLife Stadium against Syracuse.
But O'Brien shifted his tone when discussing the way the spring game is operated may have to be an area to review.
"Going forward, why would we ever want our best players to get hurt in a Blue-White Game?" O'Brien asked.
The coach already has taken measures to change the way the spring game is played in terms of scoring. With health concerns, other ideas may have to be implemented. This does not necessarily mean the spring game will vanish just yet, though.
"I understand how important that weekend is to our fans, and I'm not saying we're going to put an end to the Blue-White Game," O'Brien said. "I think we'll find different ways to show the fans where we are as a football program."

Oh boy, I really pity the AI officials at Riyadh when they have to explain to a TRV,HYD bound passengers that "There is fog in Delhi, so you can't fly to TRV, HYD"
Is the fog excuse true or is something else going on here? Like planes being used for Haj operations?
800 Air-India Passengers Stranded in Riyadh
Javid Hassan, Arab News Staff
RIYADH, 24December 2003 — Some 800 Air-India passengers bound for various destinations in India were still unsure last night if they would be able to leave after being stranded in Riyadh for over two days.
The passengers, who had been on their way to Bombay, Hyderabad, Trivandrum and Calicut, were shunted around since Monday by the airline, which blames "foggy weather in Delhi."
V. Senthil Kumar, Air-India's country manager, told Arab News that Delhi-bound flights from Bombay en route to Riyadh could not take off because of the fog, in turn apparently causing flight delays in Riyadh for passengers traveling to different destinations in India.
Air-India has committed145 flights for its Haj operations, which begin today, and says it does not have sufficient spare aircraft when something goes wrong on this scale.
Kumar said Air-India also found it difficult to provide appropriate accommodation for the stranded travelers as all the major hotels in the capital were fully booked due to the Janadriya Festival. As a result, the passengers have been scattered across various hotels in the capital, with little communication reaching them.
"They are not telling us anything," one of the stranded passengers, who gave his name only as John, told Arab News by phone. "We are hearing all kinds of rumors. All of us have been put up in different hotels."
However, two relief aircraft were expected to land at King Khaled International Airport last night, while another flight was expected around 5 a.m. on Wednesday, according to Kumar.

Skip to comments.1968 A Fateful and Terrible Year Where Many in the Church Drank the Poison of this World
Posted on 03/12/2012 2:25:37 PM PDT by NYer
There was something awful about the year 1968.
I was but a lad at the time, merely seven or eight years of age, but almost everything on the T.V. terrified me. Terrible reports from Viet Nam, (where my father was at the time), the Tet Offensive nightly reports of death and casualties (was my daddy one of the ones killed?). Riots and anti-war demonstrations in America's cities and college campuses. The first stirrings of militant feminism. A second hideous year of hippies with their "summer of love" nonsense, which was just an excuse for selfish, spoiled college kids to get high, fornicate and think they were some how doing a noble thing. There was the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King, later that year also of Robert Kennedy, the riots and burning cities that followed King's assassination. I remember my mother who was teaching on the South Side of Chicago have to flee for her life and finally be rescued by and escorted out by police. There was the ramp up to the yet more hideous Woodstock festival that would happen the following year. 1968 was a terrible year, a year that I do not think we ever recovered from. It popularized the sexual revolution, drug use and lots of just plain bad behavior. In the Church sweeping changes were underway and this added to the uncertainty of those times. Even if one will argue they were necessary changes they came at a terrible times and fed into the notions of revolution. And then the whole revolt against the magnificent and prophetic Humane Vitae, thus ushering a spirit of open dissent that still devastates the Church.
1968 was a terrible year. When I mention that year and shake my head, I often get puzzled looks. But I stand by my claim, 1968 was a cultural tsunami from which we have not yet recovered.
Thus my interest was peaked when I saw an article by James Cardinal Stafford also singling out that year also for being a year of intense darkness. I'd like to share some excerpts of the Cardinal's article. He focuses particularly on the devastating effects of angry and open dissent set loose in August of that Year by theologians and priests who rebelled against Humanae Vitae. In that decisive moment the Cardinal sees that the violent revolution raging outside the Church decisively entered within her and that we still real for this today.
English historian Paul Johnson dubs 1968 as the year of Americas Suicide Attempt. It included the Tet offensive in Vietnam with its tsunami-like effects in American life and politics, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee; the tumult in American cities on Palm Sunday weekend; and the June assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy in Southern California. It was also the year in which Pope Paul VI issued his encyclical letter on transmitting human life, Humanae Vitae (HV). He met immediate, premeditated, and unprecedented opposition from some American theologians and pastors. By any measure, 1968 was a bitter cup….
The summer of 1968 is a record of Gods hottest hour. The memories are not forgotten; they are painful. They remain vivid like a tornado in the plains of Colorado. They inhabit the whirlwind where Gods wrath dwells. In 1968, something terrible happened in the Church. Within the ministerial priesthood, ruptures developed everywhere among friends which never healed. And the wounds continue to affect the whole Church. The dissent, together with the leaders manipulation of the anger they fomented, became a supreme test. It changed fundamental relationships within the Church. It was a Peirasmòs [i.e. a trial, a test of faith] for many.
During the height of the 1968 Baltimore riots following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I had made an emergency call to [an] inner-city pastor…He described the view from the rectory while speaking on the phone…his parish was becoming a raging inferno. He said, From here I see nothing but fire burning everywhere. Everything has been set ablaze. The Church and rectory are untouched thus far. He did not wish to leave or be evacuated. His voice betrayed disillusionment and fear. Later we learned that the parish buildings survived.
Memories of the physical violence in the city in April 1968 [following the king Assassination] helped me to name what had happened in August 1968 [in the explosion of dissent against Humanae Vitae]. Ecclesial dissent can become a kind of spiritual violence in its form and content.
What do I mean? Look at the results of the two events. After the violent 1968 Palm Sunday weekend, civil dialogue in metropolitan Baltimore broke down and came to a stop. It took a back seat to open anger and recriminations between whites and blacks. The…priests August gathering [against Humane Vitae] gave rise to its own ferocious acrimony. Conversations among the clergy…became contaminated with fear. Suspicions among priests were chronic. Fears abounded. And they continue. The Archdiocesan priesthood lost something of the fraternal whole which Baltimore priests had known for generations. 1968 marked the hiatus of the generational communio….Priests fraternity had been wounded. Pastoral dissent had attacked the Eucharistic foundation of the Church. Its nuptial significance had been denied. Some priests saw bishops as nothing more than Roman mannequins.
Cardinal Shehan later reported that on Monday morning, August 5, he was startled to read in the Baltimore Sun that seventy-two priests of the Baltimore area had signed the Statement of Dissent. What he later called the years of crisis began for him during that hot… August evening in 1968….Its unhinging consequences continue. Abusive, coercive dissent has become a reality in the Church and subjects her to violent, debilitating, unproductive, chronic controversies.
The violence of the initial disobedience was only a prelude to further and more pervasive violence. …Contempt for the truth, whether aggressive or passive, has become common in Church life. Dissenting priests, theologians and laypeople have continued their coercive techniques. From the beginning, the press has used them to further its own serpentine agenda. (These are excerpts, Click HERE for the full article).
Yes, a terrible year, 1968. And we have yet to recover. Discussion in the Church has often retained its painful, divisive, and, as the Cardinal notes, "spiritually violent" tendencies. Bishops are excoriated by the right and left in the Church, and even by priests, who promised them obedience and respect. In effect, Bishops are treated more like elected officials, than the anointed leaders and fathers they are. And whatever imperfections the bishops have individually and corporately, this does not excuse our treatment of them as though they were simply elected officials accountable to us. We are neither docile nor loving and supportive of them. And when we have concerns about the course they set, we do not speak to them, or of them, as Fathers, but we lay them out as though they were political enemies. Discourse in the Church which should be marked by charity and a family love is, instead, modeled on angry and protesting political discourse, the acquisition of power and the hermeneutic of suspicion and scorn.
And this is true not only in our treatment of Bishops but also of one another. Catholics who are passionate about the family, the life issues and the sexual issues go to one side of the room, and Catholics passionate about the social teachings of the Church to the other. And from their sides they both hurl blame, venom, scorn, and debate who is a true Catholic and who really cares about what is most important. We do this rather than appreciate the work that each of us does in essential areas and we fail to understand that the Church needs two wings to fly.
The easiest thing in the world is to get Catholics fighting and divided. And we take the bait every time. The media knows it and so does the President. Shame on them for doing it, but shame on us for being such an easy target.
And to a large extent it all goes back to those angry August days back in 1968 when priests and laity took the violence and discord of that awful year and made it the template for Church life; when there emerged a kind of spiritual violence, and discord, when there developed a hermeneutic of suspicion; and when there was an embracing of a distorted ecclesiology of the Church as a political entity rather the Body of Christ.
Perhaps such tendencies were decades in coming, but, as Cardinal Stafford notes, there was something about that hot and fateful August of 1968, something in that awful year slouched into the Church and grew like a cancer. It is still too much with us today and it is has infected us all. Somehow it's still August, the scorching heat wave lingers, and the hazy air reminds us of the summer of our discontent, that awful and fateful year of 1968. Usquequo Domine…usquequo? (Ps 12:1)
This song says, I need you, you need me. We're all part of God's Body. Stand with me, agree with me, you are important to me, I need you to survive.
Bears repeating.
It was revealed in August 1968 that many priests and religious, and not a few bishops, do not believe the ecclesiology of the Magisterium.
And the Magisterium has not acted against them, which raises the perfectly legitimate question, what exactly IS the ecclesiology in which the Magisterium believes?
That whole dreadful era was on the verge of being forgotten until that plague of '60s leftovers and their acolytes began protesting the Iraq War and gettin' jiggy with their nostalgia. And this ridiculous attempt to recreate their youth just keeps going on ... and on ... and on ... It's like these geezer hippies imagine that if they keep it 1968 all the time, they'll never die.
How much of this do you attribute to the revocation of the Oath Against Modernism by Pope Paul VI in 1967?
I agree entirely.
I'm not sure the oath really worked, because people who were inclined to practice modernism weren't concerned about lying in a sworn oath anyway. However, it did at least state that the Church was opposed to these ideas.
I am old enough to have known some members of the older generation (that is, priests who were already priests at the time of Vatican II), and I think dissent was unfortunately pretty widespread already, oath or no. Maybe they had to be quieter about it and a little more sneaky, but things wouldn't have collapsed so fast after Vatican II if they hadn't been weak before that.
I think people have never considered the effect that the American church had on Vatican II. Many of the supposed "problems" brought up at Vatican II were just an expression of the usual American Catholic desire to remove identifiably Catholic practices in order to fit in and prove that they were just as American as any good Protestant or non-believer. So modernization - and I'm not saying there weren't certain things that did need a bit of an updating or refreshing - came to mean shedding anything that was identifiably Catholic.
This harmonized very well with the goals of leftists such as Bugnini, and I think gave them the power they needed to push their agenda through before the other bishops even fully processed what was happening. But that was, again, because the leftists were indeed Modernists, and their quiet, murmured heresy had actually been tolerated for a long time in the Church, oath or now.
I was not aware of this oath, so, I guess the proper response is nothing. On my own personal journey (which began pre VCII), I tried to absorb the changes. Most recently, while residing in one of the most progressive dioceses in the US, I battled liturgical abuse. After decades of this nonsense, I watched in abject horror as a EMHC dropped a consecrated host on the sanctuary floor. Unsure of what to do, she bent over, picked it up and redeposited it in her Pyrex glass communion cup. It was the final straw.
Literally eight years ago today, recalling the words of our Savior "ask and you will receive", I bowed my head in prayer and asked our Lord to guide me to a holy priest, a reverent liturgy and a community in need of whatever God-given abilities I might possess. He did not fail! After visiting other parishes within the diocese, I attended mass at one of the Eastern (Maronite) Catholic Churches. The response was quick and most welcome.
It has been exactly 8 years since that first visit and I have never looked back. In the Maronite Church, I have found a most welcoming community that functions like a family. The liturgy is replete with incense (even at the low mass), the spirituality is pervasive and everyone contributes towards the community as a whole. The liturgy was brought by St. Peter to Antioch where he served as bishop before proceeding to Rome. The consecration is chanted in Aramaic - the language of Christ, His Blessed Mother and the Apostles. Because of its small size, the community functions much like a family where people pull together and volunteer to ensure the health and longevity of the small parish. In the short span of 8 years, I have been asked to serve on the women's sodality, been elected to the Parish Council, successfully written two grants (with God's assistance) and served as Director for Religious Education. The years have flown by and I am still enamored by the beauty of the Maronite Church.
What this article omits is that the Cultural Revolution of 1968 was pretty much civilization wide, not just American.
There were riots in Paris, and Charles de Gaulle fled to his country estate until things calmed down.
There were riots and terrorism in Germany and Italy.
The anti-war protestors and hippies in America had their counterparts all over Europe and the West.
Riots, burnings, barricades, revolutionaries throwing cobblestones in the cities of Europe—it was widespread.
And the fallout in Europe after Vatican II was as bad as it was in America, if not worse. The bishops over there are still more dissident or weak than they are in this country, even after decades of failing to fix the problem.
Ireland stood fast for a while, but now they seem to be as troubled as anywhere else.
The Church has gone through major troubles in the past, but this certainly has been one of the worst and most widespread.
Modernism was described by Pope Pius X as the synthesis of all heresies. Pope Pius X stated Modernism is born of the alliance between faith and false philosophy. Modernists recognize, said the pope; "that the three chief difficulties for them are first, scholastic philosophy, secondly the authority of the Fathers and Tradition more generally, and thirdly the magisterium of the Church, and on these they wage unrelenting war."
It is no surprise, to me anyway, that the Modernist is comfortable with and in league with the Secular Humanists, Buddhists and mysticism, and the more liberal branches of the Reformation.
Turning to politics, the article makes no mention of the fact that despite all of the riots and hullabaloo perpetrated by the Left, the Republicans, nonetheless, won the White House in the November election. The combined Nixon-Wallace vote was an overwhelming repudiation of the liberals, leftists, hippies, and such, and Kevin Phillips would soon be writing of an emerging Republican majority. Although Richard Nixon is hardly a conservative hero, the coalition that he put together later put Ronald Reagan in the White House.
Same year: "Is God Dead?" on the cover of Time Magazine. As a 16 year old, I remember Thanksgiving of that year the commentator (CBS I think) saying that there was not much to be thankful for. I was shocked, thinking that Thansgiving was and always would be celebrated for our blessings. Within a few weeks the Apollo 8 lunar mission did provide us something to be proud and thankful.
As for this article, I was reading to see if it acknowledged this period as the beginning of changes that led to molestation scandals.
I could've wrote this except for it was my Uncle in Vietnam not my dad and we are in Ohio not Chicago but the rest is the same.I was 7 yo in 1968 ad turned 8 in Sept of that year.I remember it was the year that I first lean red what divorce was when my Uncle and his first family began to have trouble and separated the first time.It would take another 3 years and another child before they finally slit.I remember how bad that was for us, it was the first one in our Catholic family.I feel the same way about this time period kids my age got the short end of the stick by their more selfish older boomers who thought it was their duty to change things.May they rot in h*ll for what they did to us.

It was indeed, and the participants even have names for themselves: sesentayochistas, in Spanish, and something similar in French.
I have always felt that if the Church had held strong, things might have turned out differently. But it collapsed too.
And while the French and Germans had been busy nourishing clerical heretics for decades, I think a lot of the liturgical and practical changes reflected the desire of American Catholics to stand out less. The intellectual underpinning, of course, was the German Higher Biblical Criticism with its faux archaeology of the "primitive" Church, a mythical time of purity that the Protestants believed preceded Romish corruption.
I wasn't there but I don't "hideous" is an apt description of Woodstock. Miraculously tame might be closer to the truth.
Yes I recall 1968, thanks for the fresher. My wife and I were married March 1958, had adopted our first son (Born August 9, 1966, then our second son was born September 9,1967. [ We had hardly recoved from the assination of President JKF in Nov. 1963]
We lived in Memphis,TN during the curfews and turmoil of early 68, we were hit broadside in our little red 1966 Volkswagon (But blessed in that none were injured.)
Then it happened, Martin Luther was assinated, and all the rioting accross the U.S. broke loose. We were blessed that Memphis had been on curfew for several weeks, and little was damaged compared to many other cities.
Then in the summer of 1968, Robert Kennedy was assinated, and that was one of the hottest summers on record. We attended our summer church camp the first week of August, in Middle TN, which usually a lot cooler than the Memphis area.
My Father & Mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and a foster son came that year. Boy it was hot, we had no air in the VW nor the cabins.
Our sons were 2 and 11 months that month, but we were able to be thankful and survived the heat and the rest of 1968.
In 1968, the public had been told for years that we were winning the war in Vietnam. Then much of the country, including the American Embassy, came under widespread attacks which were shown with raw film feeds on nightly television for a month. Is it surprising that a sudden cognitive dissonance resulted?
In 1968, MLK had not only been under FBI surveillance for years, but on camera he was seen prophesizing his death the night before it happened. Is it surprising that when he was shot, that his followers suspected the government had something to do with it?
In 1968, RFK stood to challenge the ruling Democratic party establishment when he was struck with a fatal shot which originated at point blank range from his rear. In spite of witnesses and a coroner's report that placed Sirhan Sirhan to the front of him at all times, the LAPD harassed witnesses and withheld contrary evidence of a likely multiple-shooter scenario in order to arrange a quick one-person conviction in court. Is it surprising that outraged RFK supporters would gather to protest outside the convention hall in Chicago?
The events of 1968 referred to in the editorial, ignore the understandable anger that lay behind them.
In 2012, conservatives are united in their desire to oppose lies which originated from a federal government run by Democrats. Could not the same thing be said of the public in 1968?
Actually, the "God is dead" Time Magazine cover came out in 1966.
I'm pretty sure I missed that Thanksgiving broadcast. When we watched the evening news, we usually tuned in to George Putnam, who, I believe, was on KTTV at the time. His broadcast always included an editorial, entitled "One Reporter's Opinion" in which he would express support for the Vietnam War, denounce government boondoggles, attack the Left, etc. On one broadcast in December, 1968, Putnam showed photographs of leftist demonstrations and point to a member of the crowd saying, "this is so-and-so, and he is a Communist!" Putnam would always conclude his broadcast with a picture of a US flag flying over some Southland community and say, "here is the American flag flying proudly over Whittier"—or Wilmington, Watts, Westchester, Walnut Park, etc.
"There were riots in Paris, and Charles de Gaulle fled to his country estate until things calmed down. There were riots and terrorism in Germany and Italy. The anti-war protestors and hippies in America had their counterparts all over Europe and the West."
Spain was spared this until Franco's death, at which point they over-compensated for the freakishness he spared them from. Now they're at the bottom of the pile in terms of culture or faith - like Italians, ethnic Spaniards are contracepting themselves out of existence; like Americans, they're being replaced by Hispanics.
Well, they are dying: just not fast enough. And even the laggards in the Boomer generation have another years of public life to go. That generation split down the middle, however, and the progressives had fewer children. On the other hand, they came to dominate in academia and the media and even the mainstream churches.
Regarding Bobby, Gene McCarthy speculated that he had provoked Sirhan by his demagoging about Israel. McCarthy hsd reason to be bitter. The Kennedy machine had been lying through its teeth about McCarthys record. Sad to say, but we are probably better off that Bobby was removed from the scene.
The think that provoked McCarthy into going against the war was that he knew that Johnson was not telling the whole truth. Lyndon was far too optimistic in public. If he had been more guarded, Tet could have been played better.
It's no secret that forty years is an amount of time that features prominently in the Bible.
I partly feel that the election and reign of Obama, which may very well be the end of our country and western post-Christian "civilization," starting exactly forty years after the upheaval of the 1960's (which is often, as done in this article, narrowed down to 1968) is no coincidence.
The North Vietnamese Winter/Spring Offensive of 1968 was actually a massive defeat, as I myself perceived at the time merely from reading newspaper and magazine accounts. The attack on the embassy was a complete failure, and all of the attackers were killed. However, those who failed to look beyond the images on TV may have experienced cognitive dissonance.
In 1968, MLK had not only been under FBI surveillance for years, but on camera he was seen prophesizing his death the night before it happened. Is it surprising that when he was shot, that his followers suspected the government had something to do with it?
Could be. I was never a supporter of his, so I can't speak for them. However, the facts about the FBI surveillance came out later. The initial news reports--that he had been shot by a white man in a white suit who was driving a white car headed south--deeper into white-dominated Dixieland--might have contributed to the anger of the rioters.
In 1968, RFK stood to challenge the ruling Democratic party establishment when he was struck with a fatal shot which originated at point blank range from his rear. In spite of witnesses and a coroners report that placed Sirhan Sirhan to the front of him at all times, the LAPD harassed witnesses and withheld contrary evidence of a likely multiple-shooter scenario in order to arrange a quick one-person conviction in court. Is it surprising that outraged RFK supporters would gather to protest outside the convention hall in Chicago?
I'm not an RFK assassination buff, but I recall at the time that Sirhan seemed clearly to have done the deed--he had the pistol in his hand. I don't recall hearing any conspiracy theories about the assassination until much later. And although some of the protesters outside the convention hall in Chicago may have been RFK supporters, they were led by hard-core leftists--Tom "we are all Viet Cong" Hayden, Jerry "kill your parents" Rubin, David Dellinger, a self-proclaimed "non-Russian Communist," and the like.
In any case, the public turned away from this angry crowd of malcontents and elected Richard Nixon, who spoke for the forgotten Americans, the non-shouters, the non-demonstrators.
That's true. And history is nothing but accretions. Sometimes it can become necessary to knock off a few, but it's simply not possible (or desirable) to go back to some imaginary "pre-accretion" time.
The Roman rite was actually already receiving the care that it needed. There were a few parts which, over the centuries and mostly as the result of monastic practice, had gotten out of their proper order or were somewhat unclear. And it was good to try to focus people on the Mass when they were there. I remember when so many people were busy praying the Rosary during Mass that, between the beads hitting the backs of the pews and the background hissing of lots of old ladies saying the prayers, you could barely hear the priest even in the spoken parts. "Active participation" was simply intended to mean that laypeople should stop doing their private devotions during Mass and focus on the event; it didn't mean they should be clapping, dancing in the aisles, or distributing Communion...
I actually didn't even have any objection to the introduction of the vernacular for parts of the mass. When I was a kid in New York, we did something called a "dialogue mass," which was basically just where the people made the responses of the altar boy and most (although not all) of the mass parts were spoken out loud by the priest. This was done in both Latin and English. The English was simply a correct translation of the (very beautiful) Latin original of the Old Mass. All this was before the Vatican II.
I grew up in East Texas in what might be called a mission church, because prior to the East Texas oil boom, there was not a Catholic church between Dallas and Shreveport. No dialogue mass but we did use the missalette with alternating pages in Latin and English. No rosaries during mass. My first encounter was this when I was working in the Rio Grande Valley and went to a Mexican Church where all the widow ladies insisting on sitting up front and causing such a din that, as you say, I could not hear the priest. They did not even pause during his sermon! So I went to the next town where there was an Anglo church.

Western consumers have gotten used to seeing "made in China" printed on many of their daily purchases, but there are many items the Chinese themselves would prefer not to bear that label—baby food, for one:
A surge in sales of one of Australia's most popular brands of infant formula has led to an unusual sight for this wealthy nation: barren shelves in the baby aisle and even rationing of baby food in some leading retail outlets.But the run on formula is not the result of a local baby boom. Instead, it is being attributed to Chinese visitors, who are apparently concerned about domestic food safety standards and are believed to be buying in bulk and carrying it home.
The Chinese rush to buy Australian formula follows on several widely published food safety violations. In 2009, the Chinese government executed two milk manufactures for selling chemically tainted milk powder that lead to the deaths of six children, and in June 2012 the country's largest milk maker had to recall six months' worth of milk.The baby formula failings reflect a broader trend in China: the difficulties in transitioning from low-cost/low-quality manufacturing to the more sophisticated, higher-tech manufacturing economy it needs to keep its growth miracle alive.The hunger for safer Western food products also says volumes about the changing attitudes of the Chinese public. As the country becomes more prosperous, the people learn more and more about how the rest of the world lives and the kinds of protections they insist on from their governments and corporations. These new demands are already beginning to cause problems for the new leadership, which now needs to focus on meeting the rising expectation of the Chinese people. This is no easy task in a country as large and dynamic as China.

18th century restored cabin in a quiet setting. Surrounded by 150 acres. Beautiful scenery and sunsets.
This place is
Charming, Quite, Clean, and Comfortable!
If you are lucky to meet the owners you would understand why this little cabin in the middle of nowhere has so much character and peace within it.
We surprised our father for his 70th birthday and he could not be happier!
Janis is the most generous host!
You will not regret staying here and just like us I'm sure you will be a little sad as you are departing.
Thanks a lot Janis for sharing your home with us.
This place was absolutely perfect. I was looking for a place that wasn't near anything, I could cook all day and look at mountains as I drink coffee on a porch. And this is exactly that. Exactly what my boyfriend and I needed to unwind from the city. It's actually bigger than I was expecting, and everything is nicely updated - and clean! Wonderful cast iron pots, a fully stocked kitchen and a fire pit were bonuses. Can't wait to go back.
This was exactly what my husband needed to 'get away from it all', we spent most days sitting on the porch and appreciating the view. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen compact but fully equipped; I really do not know how it could get any better. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at you wonderful cabin.
We were very pleased with our stay at this cozy, secluded cabin. We were looking to just get away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday things and this place was perfect for that. If you are looking for seclusion, this is it! Top of the mountain and all we heard was the beautiful sounds of nature, a dog barking in the distance and every now and then, a very faint sound of a car on the roads. The pictures online are right on point as to exactly how the cabin is. Only thing that would have made it better was to be able to see down into the meadow from the porch. Very thick trees there which blocked the view down the mountain. Other than that, we had a great weekend away! Would definitely stay here again! Thanks to Janis for being so accommodating as well!
This is a wonderful cabin and the owners, Sam and Janis Roskelly have done a fabulous job restoring the place. We just got back from our 3 night stay, and feel fully rejuvenated. The area is peaceful and tranquil. If you are looking for a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, this is the place. There is limited cell phone service, so you won't have to be worried about someone bothering you.
Janis has gone out of her way to make you feel at home. You walk in and instantly feel as if it is your home. Everything you need is to cook is there, including a few staples, such as a few spices, salt, sugar, flour, coffee/tea. There is a TV with some videos, some games as well as books.
Thank you Janis. It fit our needs perfectly. We may be back! :-)
This historic 18th-century log cabin has been modernized and was an amazing balance of rustic charm and modern conveniences ( AC, ceiling fans, etc). Janis, the owner thoughtfully provided ice cold drinks for our arrival and the kitchen was well stocked with pantry staples such as olive oil, spices.
Enjoy a peaceful, secluded getaway at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains . The 18th century restored cabin sits on 150 acres and is perfect for bird watching, hiking, and relaxing. Beautiful sunsets from the front porch. Restaurants and shopping within 20 miles. Fishing streams nearby. About 20 miles from historic Lexington, 20 miles from Lynchburg and 60 miles from Charlottesville.

Welcome to Spain's quirkiest clifftop house
The Local · 16 Mar 2016, 12:07

The stunning residence was designed by Madrid-based Gilbartolome Architects.
Built within a 42 degree slope, the cave house, with its infinity pool and stunning sea views is located near Salobreña, in the hills south of Granada on Spain's southern coast.
"The form of the house and the metallic roof produces a calculated aesthetic ambiguity between the natural and the artificial, between the skin of a dragon set in the ground, when seen from below, and the waves of the sea, when seen from above," explained the architects Pablo Gil and Jaime Bartolomé.
Seen from above the zinc tiles are designed to look like waves.
The external curves give the house the appearance of a dragon emerging from its lair.
Every window boasts a stunning view of the sea.
For a stunning tour of the property watch this video made by architectural photographer Jesús Granada.

Dear Savvy Senior,
I'm interested in getting my 72-year-old mother a smartphone, but want to get one that's very easy for her to use. What can you recommend?
Shopping Around
Dear Shopping,
There are several different ways you can go about getting your mom a simplified smartphone that's easy for her to use. Depending on how much you're willing to spend, here are some different options to consider.
Like many gardeners this time of the year, I have been spending cold winter evenings by the fire with a good catalog. The seed catalogues fill the mailbox and I barely make it up the driveway without taking a peak at what's offered for 2015.
Unusual items fascinate me. It's a challenge to find out what they are, where they came from and how old they are.
Claude Brock, Sr., found a heavy, hornshaped "thing" down by the Salt River a few years ago, Dolly brought it down to the Spencer Magnet office for me to examine, but I could shed no light on what it is.
A reading from the Gospel of St. Matthew 1:18-25:
The beauty outside the window on a snowy winter's day is hard to deny. The white blanket that covers everything seems so soft, while the frigid cold makes things appear crystal clear. To walk outside and hear the winter silence broken only by the crunch of snow underfoot and the soft hiss as the wind blows the snow along can be intoxicating.

While doing some microfilm research at the Louisville Free Public Library last week, this scribe ran across an interesting item in the Sept. 16, 1964 edition of the Louisville Journal.
The items gave details of a shooting in Taylorsville during the Civil War.
Here's what it said:
"Deporster Killed By A Brother Guerrilla.
Dear Savvy Senior,
What are the IRS income tax filing requirements for retirees this tax season? I didn't have to file last year, but I picked up a little income from a part-time job in 2014, and I'm wondering if I need to file this year.
Part-Time Retiree
The respected research group Brookings Institute has released reports that cast a disturbing eye on student-loan debt -- at least on the surface. The bare stats might look more grim than the reality.
Between 1989 and today, graduate students have left school with debt that has risen from $10,000 to $40,000. At the bachelor-degree level, the debt has risen from $6,000 to $16,000. However, because of having degrees, the lifetime income of those students also has increased enough.
DEAR DR. ROACH: You've discussed sleep aids and your belief that it is best to get off all of this type of medication. I am healthy, 75 (take no meds), exercise with weights, do swimming and running regularly, and since 2007 have been taking an over-the-counter sleep aid called doxylamine nightly with no apparent side effects. Do you see a problem with continuing? -- A.B.
Dear Savvy Senior,
Is there a good rule of thumb on who should buy a long-term care insurance policy? My wife and I have a few assets we'd like to protect but we hate the idea of paying expensive monthly premiums for a policy we may never use.
Planning Ahead
By Ned Way
We all use water much more than we think. We shower, brush our teeth, we flush it down the toilet, we drink it and use it to fix our meals and even to wash the salt off our cars! Around here it is one of those things we usually just take for granted. The Environmental Protection Agency claims that the average American family uses 400 gallons of water a day, the US Geological Survey suggests that the average person uses about 100 gallons a day.

Household appliances are running amok
I dont do this very often, but I am sending out a desperate plea for help. My kitchen smells like pickles and Im not sure what to do about it.
We just bought a new house and boy, does it have personality and one of the rooms most full of personality is our kitchen. Its hard to describe, but I shall do my best. The house was built in 1978 and the kitchen still has the original cabinets, which can only be described as dark wood and well-used. Our kitchen also has mirrors with tan lines on the wall behind the stove. To accompany the cabinets and mirrors, there is a white and black electric stove and a white refrigerator.
Well, since moving into the new house, husband Bryan and I have had our eyes on the kitchen. We know we want to do something with it, were just not sure what yet. Our 3-year-old son, Joshua, insists it should be orange. I guess thats why there are no famous 3-year-old interior designers.
Anyway, we are definite that we are going to replace the appliances, as they have begun plotting against us. When we moved in, we noticed the dishwasher was ... yucky. We tried to clean it, but to no avail.
Then the garbage disposal went belly-up. Both were replaced a couple of weeks ago and all has been fine.
Until Monday night.
On Monday night, I noticed our refrigerator smelled strongly of pickle juice. Uh oh, I thought. I guess I left the lid open and the smell escaped.
I wish.
Im pretty sure I know what happened. Joshua knows how to unscrew and rescrew lids now. Im pretty sure he went after a pickle (he loves pickles) and didnt rescrew the lid on tight enough. Somehow, in all the commotion of every day life, the pickle jar got scooted to the back of the top shelf and knocked over.
And the pickle juice escaped.
I spent about a half hour washing everything in the refrigerator with soap and warm water. While I did learn something new (the recommended shelf-life of a soda is nine months), I did not get rid of the smell.
Then I tried lemon-scented cleaner. Now my refrigerator smells like pickle-lemon-scented cleaner. I can say from experience that if that scent ever hit the household cleaning goods aisle, it would not be very popular as it doesnt smell nearly as good as it sounds.
So now Im left hoping the smell will go away on its own.
I have a feeling deep down inside that the refrigerator is laughing at me. It knows its on the way out and its getting the final dig in before it goes. And, no, we are not going to buy an orange refrigerator to make the kid happy. But a new refrigerator purchase is a long time away.
In the meantime, if anyone out there knows how to get rid of the smell of pickle juice, please let me know.

In the last issue of ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR, I discussed the National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements for cord-and-plug-connected air conditioners (AC units). In this issue, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the installation of permanently (hard-wired) installed units. READ MORE

A well-known, highly recognized contracting firm hired me as a consultant to inspect an installation that experts said had caused the death of a young machinist. The machinist was working on a piece of equipment that was supplied by the service equipment, which a licensed electrician had installed. READ MORE

An estimator asked what method to use to calculate the volt-amperes (VA) of a residence.

As I type this post, it's 80 degrees outside. That means we've completely bypassed spring and are well into summer weather it seems. With that, I can't stand the thought of piling on the same full-coverage foundation I wore all winter during this heatwave. Instead, I look to tinted moisturizers to give me a smooth complexion without the weight. I recently purchased this version from Laura Mercier and am blown away by how much I love it! It goes on lightweight, blends perfectly into my skin (I wear the porcelain shade), and is oil-free! If you're looking to update your makeup routine this spring, I certainly recommend this tinted moisturizer.
I am a huge fan of Laura Mercier. I just did a masterclass with them and learned so many great tricks. I use the Radiance tinted moisturizer and I love the finish it gives to my skin.
Thanks for sharing these products. Need to try it.
I use this all the time! It's one of my favorite cover ups! I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes it!
Laura Mercier was my first foray into the tinted world. I've since moved on to Boscia, but I always remember LM with fondness.
Rebecca {at} Preppy Panache
I've heard SO many great things about this tinted moisturizer! I've got to try it out!
x. Sabrina | Simply Sabrina
this is my go-to also! although, at first, it has a bit of a strange scent
Hmmm I shall have to check this out! All about a good tinted moisturizer for the everyday look.
Kristin of LivingInColorPrint.com
This is truly the best product!
I've looked into using this product (or any tinted moisturizer in general), but I can't figure out if you're supposed to use it on top of regular moisturizer. Do you use a foundation brush to apply it? Would love some tips! Thanks!
Ooooh I will have to try this! The weather has been warming up in Atlanta (with the exception of our random cold snap the last two days) and I have been looking to transition from my heavier foundation into something lighter for the warm weather. Can't wait to go to Sephora to check it out! Thanks for the great recommendation :) So glad I joined SBS and have found so many wonderful blogs like yours!
I completely agree that a heavy foundation is just too much to bear during the warmer months. Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer is great – but I definitely recommend people go for the Oil Free version over the regular. The regular one can get a bit greasy. Amen for warmer weather!

San Jose del Cabo is a pleasant tourist oriented city located very close to the tip of the Baja Peninsula. Situated on the shores of the Sea of Cortez, lying 17 miles east of the popular resort of Cabo San Lucas, San Jose is known to be the quieter city of Los Cabos. The central downtown area has many fine restaurants and is well organized for shopping and is generally pretty busy with businessmen, tourists, and locals mingling together. It seems that the historic center is like a magnet that draws everyone toward the recently refurbished town square. The hustle and bustle of San Jose does not seem to interfere with the tranquil feeling that prevails here, as it does in many other tourist centers. More about San Jose del Cabo - here.

Doctors Gary and Mike.........
Can ANYONE control their diaphragm?

Can ANYONE control their diaphragm?

The diaphragm is only there to INHALE. I know as mine was severely damaged and I still played with it for 6 months before getting it operated. You can't achieve any controlled vibrato with it. Perhaps the abs could be used for vibrato - but why? Vibrato should be a carefully dosed fine motor activity and the face muscles and tongue are ideal for this type of work. I can assure you, that the vibrato with all of the finest players is not achieved below the neck.
In any case, who cares. To play like her needs much, much more than "vibrato".
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
Ask her on Facebook, you might get a response.

Funny that i was reading about this very thing the other day,although i haven't been concerned about it as of yet ?
From 101 trumpet tips
Stuff the Pro's know and use ;
By Scott Barnard
HAND VIBRATO -This method requires you move the trumpet on and off the embouchure with the right hand. However ,it could lead to some bad habits with m/p pressure and be very tiring,so is best avoided.
DIAPHRAGM/BREATH VIBRATO -Achieved by varying the pressure of air,much as a flautist would do,But on a brass instrument,this is harder to control for this purpose and so is rarely used.
LIP/JAW VIBRATO - This method is more widely used and is very controllable.The pitch variation is made by changing the pitch of the buzz up and down small amount : this is helped by moving the jaw up and down very slightly at the same time.
A Great book ,,and well worth the price ,to help with polishing things up .
Sry for the long reply but this explains it best for me ,and if i was to guess i think Tine uses this method ,even though i have been so impressed with her playing i hardly noticed

Many times we trumpet players do this to expand our lung volume to super human levels to play as good as me, a super human, and other times just to get enough air in to inhale the perfume that the redhead is wearing. At this point, we begin to pant heavily with anticipation of yet for things to come, which then goes involuntary as the blood rushes to our, Ahem, head...

gmonady - I thought the process of deep breathing (yogic, instrumentalist, etc.) was caused not by the diaphragm doing its thing, but that the abdominal muscles pulled (involuntarily) the diaphragm down which, in turn, opened up the lungs to created a vacuum in the lungs which sucked the air in. No?
BTW, regarding my posting a message on her facebook, she's currently on a tour of the US, so she might not answer soon (if ever) but if/when she does, I'll follow up and post what she said.

Santa Claus has the post-holiday blues. With the toys all made, presents handed out, and Christmas cookies eaten, Santa is miserable. Everyone at the North Pole tries to cheer him up. His reindeer tell Santa that they broke a record by visiting 196 countries in 8 hours, but that doesn't work. Even Mrs. Claus can't lift his spirits. But, a little Christmas magic comes his way, thanks to a letter from a little boy and Santa feels like his jolly old self in no time!
On December 26th Santa Claus becomes a memory for millions of children around the world. Do any of us ever wonder how that makes Santa feel? Probably not. Author-illustrator Tad Carpenter creatively explores this topic with a unique style. Mr. Carpenter uses just four colors in his illustrations and the book is printed on kraft paper, giving it a feeling of an irreverent Shoebox greeting card. (This is no accident because the author has worked for Hallmark.)
This fun story is great for any age, but the publisher points out the sweet spot is 4 to 7.
It's available only in hardcover, but the graphic style and premium paper give the reader such a unique experience, it's well deserving of the $14.95 price.
