Skip to comments.Ford Adding 1,800 Jobs to Build New Escape
Posted on 12/09/2010 11:41:43 AM PST by re_tail20
Ford is the latest U.S. automaker to announce it is hiring again.
Ford said Thursday it will add 1,800 workers at a plant in Louisville to build the Escape, the second best-selling small SUV in the U.S. after the Honda CR-V. The automaker is investing $600 million in the plant, which will be shut for a year while new equipment is installed so that Ford can build the Escape on a more fuel efficient car platform.
The plant currently employs 1,100 people on one shift and has been building the Ford Explorer mid-size SUV since 1989. Production of the Explorer is being moved to a plant in Chicago.

How will Obama claim credit for this one?
Cool. My wife has an 08 Escape, very nice car. Only complaint is the cloth seats stain WAY to easy.
i looked at them when i was buying a new car. went with a subaru forester and love it.
Easy: He allowed them to remain in business — for now!
Tomorrow's another day.
The new Ford Escape, which is long overdue, is supposed to be a carbon copy of the Ford Kuga which is a Ford product sold in Europe.
To my eye, the Ford Kuga is butt ugly so I hope this is not the case.
Oh, no; I have a 2001 Escape which I love, it gets 21 mpg on the highway, and it's built like a little tank; if they stick a flimsier chassis on it, they won't be anywhere near as solid as they have been. I was rear-ended on the freeway three years ago and had nearly $6,000 of damage to the Escape but didn't have a scratch on me. Ford should leave well enough alone!
he saved/or created 1,800 jobs
It is about the same size as the Escape. As Ford moves forward and they try to get platforms the same world wide, chances are the Kuga and Escape may become one design in the future.
I happened to go out to lunch with a Ford Employee last week and got to see a couple of these Kuga's in the Dearborn area. Ford doesn't bring Euro cars over to let the workers do Dem/Val drives like they used to years ago, they are penny pichers period. So that may lead you to ask why are these Kuga's here in the US?
I love the Forester too but I would not buy it because of one single thing. The fuel filler tube is on the right-hand side of the car. This is a no-go for me.
And your money went to Japan. Thanks a lot.
"And your money went to Japan. Thanks a lot."
You really think that matters?
A lot of "foreign" cars are built in the US. My Acura was built in Marysville, Ohio. It employed lots more Americans than Mexico built GM cars.
The Escape is simply a rebadged Mazda Tribute.
Worried about where the money goes if you buy a foreign car? Buy stock in the company.
I love my Ford Escape 160,000 miles and still going 4 wheel drive which is great for the 200 - 300 inches of snow that falls for the entire winter in the UP of Michigan. When this one goes I will get another one. The Kuga looks like the crossover, the Edge.
We bought a 2001 Escape and loved it. Less than 2 weeks after we bought it, our almost 3 y.o. daughter managed to whack it with a hammer (not very well, thankfully). Other than that, we enjoyed driving it. Unfortunately, when I found out I was pregnant with baby #3 less than three years later, we had to trade it in on something bigger (2000 Ford Windstar), which I still drive today.
It looks smaller, about the size of a Focus. Ugly too.
Get used to smaller cars with 4 cylinder engines, the new CAFE standards will force car makes in that direction.
Larger cars will get lots more expensive too.
Actually the Maazda is a rebadged Escape. Your Acura was made in Ohio, the Subaru I referenced was made in Japan which is still partialy an axis of evil.
Did I read this right? The plant is going to be closed for a year,(putting 1100 workers out of a job?), then bringing all those people back, plus adding another 1,88 hundred workers?
"Make it ugly and more expensive."
The damage to my Explorer was just over $7800, but I walked away with just a bruised knee from having it resting against the door when the Town Car hit me.
Versus China to pay off the loans?
I had to laugh... LOL good one, sad but true
"This is the Ford Kuga a Euro Small SUV..."
That looks remarkably like the current Toyota RAV4!
"the plant, which will be shut for a year while new equipment is installed"
A lot can happen in a year.
Buy some Ford stock it's a good stock at $16+.No I'm not a broker I just know Ford Motor Company. That name on their building is not going to change.
Those workers are expected to migrate along with the SUV they currently build.
I'm not sure either one can claim original ownership. They both use a Taurus-derived drive train on a modified Mazda 626 chassis.
You are certainly correct there, at least for now.
It's more complicated than that.
The Escape/Mariner/Tribute uses a heavily modified Mazda 626 chassis, combined with a 2.5L Duratec (Joint Mazda/Ford design) or a 3.0L Duratec (which debuted on the 1996 Taurus) for an engine... For a transmission, you get either a manual from who-knows-where or an automatic that was a GM/Ford Joint Venture....
That closed-loop system they use for deciding when to send power the rear wheels on the 4WD models is kind of interesting, too.
Ford Motor Company, which Rush pointed out did get a cash infusion from the Obama stimulations, is supported by the New World Order, of which it is an official member, as well as by the UAW.
It's specifically a member of the Council On Foreign Relations
It was Ford Motor Credit that got a helping hand.
You're right. I stand corrected.
And Toyota Motor Credit and Honda Motor Credit, and Nissan, etc...
Pretty much every credit division of every car company got access to commercial paper through the Federal Reserve.
And the Federal Reserve made a profit on every last one of those loans.
"Ford said Thursday it will add 1,800 workers at a plant in Louisville to build the Escape"
I bet they get over 1 million job applications.
Ford is not adding 1800 jobs. There are already 1100 employees working there. They will only add additional jobs if they go to three shifts, and that depends on sales. The DH is a Ford retiree and works as a supplier rep now. Almost all the news about the Kuga coming to Louisville has been overblown.
"For about the 10,000th time. These Cars are "assembled" here in the US. Most of the jobs created by the Japanese and others are low-tech final assembly. "
And those low tech assembly jobs are better or worse than the final assembly GM does in Mexico?
Screw GM, I wouldn't buy a new one unless they were giving them away.
Will we all go skipping through the park tossing daisies?

2012… the year to make a Big Splash for charity!
There are a whole host of reasons to get excited during 2012, with the London Olympic Games making its way to the capital this summer and the world's biggest fundraising swim coming to a pool near you this April!
One of the best ways to inspire your friends and family into the pool is to sign up for a team challenge such as the Big Splash Mile for Sport Relief, part of the Swimathon Weekend, which is taking place from 27 to 29 April. Let's make sure 2012 is the year of swimming by encouraging everyone to take the plunge!
By swimming together you can make your mile count by raising money for people living incredibly tough lives in the UK and across some of the world's poorest countries. Over the last year, money raised by Sport Relief has provided access to clean water for almost 52,000 people living in slums. But it is not just overseas where your money makes a difference, as here in the UK just £10 could give expert advice to a person living with dementia to improve their quality of life.
If you want to go to further lengths for charity, there's also the chance to tackle the Swimathon 2.5k, 5k or Team 5k challenges to raise vital funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Do something amazing today and sign up to the Big Splash Mile for Sport Relief at www.swimathon.org

New Ads Show Cruel Reality of Vivisection
Just in time for World Week for Animals in Laboratories, PETA has unveiled a new nationwide ad campaign: "If you call it 'medical research,' you can get away with murder." What happens in laboratories—including burning, poisoning, crippling, and blinding animals—would be considered criminal cruelty if it occurred elsewhere. But no experiment—no matter how painful—is prohibited by law. Publicly funded universities work hard to keep their cruel animal experiments a secret: Experimenters know that if people found out that their money was being used to torment and kill animals in crude, painful, and deadly tests, they wouldn't stand for it.
PETA's ads, which show graphic, heartbreaking photos from our undercover investigations inside university laboratories, are up on billboards, taxis, and bus shelters and in university newspapers in Boston and in North Carolina's Research Triangle Park. The ads will be appearing in other U.S. cities in the coming weeks.
While PETA is grabbing the public's attention, you can help grab the attention of your representatives in Congress by asking that they divert public money away from experiments on animals in favor of humane, relevant, and lifesaving non-animal research.
Commenting is closed.
@Dr Sam. Diabetes is caused by the western diet of white bread, white sugar, and saturated animal fat; don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out, but apparently causation remains a fact beyond most doctors. I wouldn't be alive without medical research, but i don't have a problem with that. If a way to save me could have been found without hurting a single animal, fine, OTW i am ok with leaving the planet, because my life, although intrinsically sacred, like all life, isn't worth more than the pain inflicted upon millions of animals in scientific research.
they should go throught the experiments first. see how quickly they would discontinue these horrorendunce experiments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, thinking about it… why not do medical research on humans? They did it before! Years ago, for the benefit of an army, they studied bone, muscle, and nerve regeneration, and bone transplantation from one person to another. They also experimented with head injuries, ways to cure malaria, and discovering means to prevent and treat hypothermia. It was this huge group of people who decided this was the right thing to do. They were told by their leader, who was an animal lover and a vegetarian, that they should all change their ways for what they thought was for the best, that everything they knew was a lie, targeted children so they can spread the word with their rebellious and spontaneous ways, and even showed people videos and pictures of evil people who were doing things that made it look what they were doing were horrible, murderous and disgusting people that broke their rules. Sound familiar? The leader was Hitler… the group was Nazis. Well… ain't that a coincidence.
To all the people who think that animal research is a perfectly fine thing to do, and feel that without it we will have no medical breakthroughs, I ask…would you volunteer? Should we not be testing these experiments on beings that have a say?
I completely agree with PETA here, for once. To those asking if I would rather the tests be done on humans, my answer is most definitely. Humans have the capability of giving permission to the researchers to mutilate them and possibly kill them. An animal has no say, yet they can still feel fear and pain and it is cruel to inflict such miseries upon them.
I very much hope that no one from PETA uses any medications that were discovered by testing on animals. Hopefully none of you have diabetes…
The ignorance of people who oppose the use of animals in research is appalling. For starters, vivisection has an actual definition. You use it as a loaded term since it conjures up the image of wantonly cutting into an animal. In reality, that would be against IACUC guidelines. You'd have to use anesthesia on any vertebrate. Animal research is heavily regulated and very expensive. If a researcher can get away with not using animals, he won't bother. When you have to lie as your premise, you don't have an actual argument.
These animals are bred for this kind of "cruelty." It's the animal, or lack of production. Or I suppose we could let, say, Japan, do it and buy more of their products. Or I suppose we could let people die because of lack of research, or we could accidentally kill people, too, because of lack of research. I suppose it's an argument in moral priorities. I just value my kin and the research of US more than a few lives that people wouldn't be able to take up, anyway. They'd all go to a humane or adoption society and die.
You can call it murder if you're PETA and destroy 97% of animals you take in, purchasing huge walk-in freezers to store their bodies until you can take care of them. Hypocrites. http://www.petakillsanimals.com/
People know that these animals are specifically bred for the research right? Like you would use model organisms that have no other purpose. People don't go out into the wild and catch animals to test on. We need to test on animals, we cannot risk using untested drugs on humans.
People push this aside because they think that all of this testing is for medical betterment. Although, the majority of this brutality is so you can have a label on your shampoo that tells you to rinse your eyes out because it might cause irritation. It's just soap.
Im fine with this idea. As long as its for science, who knows, by taking a life, they might discover new cures or even immortality.
PETA, I do not always agree with you or your methods, but this is certainly one of the times when I do. Please bring your advertisements to Baltimore. I would be so happy to drive down I-695 and see such a message and know that thousands of people are seeing it every day, even if only a dozen really think about it. It's better than nothing.
Nive info thanks
Other good ways of getting away with murder are calling it "liberation" or "abortion". Cheers.
The argument against animal testing on the grounds that it has not produced a cure for cancer is mind numbingly misinformed. The amount of scientific progress created by animal testing is extremely significant. With out animals researchers can not gather information about how living things work. Information that helps everyone people and animals alike. With out this knowledge scientists would not understand ecosystems in order to protect them. Take research into spinal cord regeneration for instance. The field is full of examples where animal research lead to huge medical breakthroughs.
Without animal testing you can throw all of your medical breakthroughs out the window, unless you think testing on people is a better option.
I personally dont find anything wrong with it. In science there must always be a subject so as to go further in that science, sometimes that subject is subjuected to…uncomfortable treatments, but those are the casualties of progress. I think Peta is overreacting on this one.
ShadowVegan made a petty and mean comment.I mean, if u want 2 stop animal experiments u have 2 b able 2 find out who 2 contact!PETA does the most amazing missions 4 animals.Animal rights would b impossible without PETA!We should b supportive of it,and their efforts 2 stop this torture of animals…
Shadow Vegan is too extreme and it sounds slightly chauvinist. It's obvious that change can happen with or or without animal extremism. Noone wants animal extremist punks. Its the wrong way of being effective and it leads to all out revolutionary war. It's so unpatriotic and unAmerican to tell animal groups how to behave or conduct business unless you have a real solution. You don't. Noone likes Jesus Christ anymore so take your Vegan Chauvinist Jesus elsewhere.
@Pandaheather: I certainly hope that I will never be in the situations you describe, but I hope just as much that even if I were, I would not change my opinion about what in my opinion are basic human rights. The whole point of human rights is that no matter who you are, what you do or what others think of you they cannot be taken away from you. The idea of experimenting on prisoners is apalling and anybody who advocates such a thing has in my opinion misunderstood something very basic. What argument could possibly logically allow for causing pain and suffering to human prisoners, but not to animals capable of suffering? Don't we lose our credibility in arguing against causing suffering if we allow what can amount to torture to be done to a prisoner and then ask that a mouse or a monkey should be spared the same treatment? @anonymous vet: The bear question is in my opinion not logical – a bear will of course kill and eat other animals, but 1)it does not have a choice, while humans have a choice 2)the way humans use animals for food production is mostly absurd and cruel, while an individual bear kill might be violent, but is certainly not comparable in scope andin weirdness of thinking with the mechanised slaughter of hundreds of thousands of animals factory-farmed under ridiculously bad conditions. Humans do such weird stuff. Have you ever read about how foie gras is produced? Isn't that one of the sickest things possible? A bear killing its prey is no match on any level for that. I therefore think the comparison is not valid. As for the animal experimentation: I am a biologist myself and have had some contact with animal testing during my studies and via friends and colleagues who chose to go into branches of biology that heavily rely on animal testing. I believe that a lot of experimentation that I know is done is totally unnecessary, does not contribute at all to our understanding of diseases and causes suffering to the animals that are used. I urge you to seriously try to find a logically sound argument for why it is ok to use animals capable of suffering for research. Let me know if you have found one.
i am going into college to be a veterinarian, and animal research is there because it is considered inhumane to test on humans, even on prisoners, or we practically become animals ourselves. it is made out that research on the animals is cruel, but they are put through little pain at all. the experiments are NOT evil, they are for cures for animals and humans alike. PLUS, i found evidence PETA kill animals that they can't find adoptive homes for! for a group that doesn't wanna kill animals they sure dont make much sense when i see peta has done it! also, a question for you: bears eat other animals, is it cruel that they do it? if you answered no, then why is it cruel for humans to do it when they were also built for eating meat?
@libguest: If you had, God forbid, one of you parents, sisters, brothers or children tortured and then finally killed by a violent person, you would not only change your mind on the death penalty but you would think it OK to do medical tests on these people as well.
People should stop animat testing now! Testing animals have true name – MURDERED! Stop murdered animals!!!
What about animal testing for Veterinary Medicine? Does PETA agree with that?
Tierversuche sind nachweislich nicht erforderlich und mit nichts zu rechtfertigen. Wer sie dennoch aus geld- und wissensgier durchführt, ist ein Verbrecher und sollte dafür streng bestraft werden. Eine Gesellschaft die solche Abartigkeiten zuläßt, verachte ich zutiefst. Hallo reiches Deutschland und ihr anderen verkommenen Industriestaaten!
@Cindy: While I am happy to hear that you do not support animal-based research into human diseases, I strongly object to your idea of using human prisoners for medical experimentation. This idea goes against fundamental human rights (as does the death penalty in my opinion, but this is not the point here). What makes you think that it would be ok to inflict suffering on a human to prevent suffering for an animal? I believe that ideas like this are cruel, dangerous and discredit the just cause of fighting medical experimentation on animals.
end all animal testing NOW! if people want to offer to be test subjects, more power to them. when we use other species it doesn't even translate to humans anyway. stupid…
Animal research is insane and inhumane. What makes us so special that humans can't volunteer more than they should in labatory experiments? Perhaps it's fear, uncertainty, pain, cruelty, and torture. These are the same feelings that animals experience and endure through these countless evil experiments. They must ALL STOP NOW!!! I would love to see the many senseless and worthless humans out there, endure the same… if you're bold and stupid enough. Sounds psychotic? Exactly, that's my point. It takes these kind of people to torture innocent animals in labatories across the globe, not to mention other countless forms of animal abuse and behavior. These acts are immoral.
& To "Who Cares"? You are ignorant. Get out of here.
To John Markus: Your arguments are not only invalid, but inaccurate. While I understand your viewpoint of wanting to find a cure for cancer, there are of course, other ways of doing that. The technological advances, such as computer simulation and tissue samples, would allow this to take place. Instead of animal research, these alternatives need to be utilized. From that, you go on about hunting, which is random and completely irrelevant to the topic. Of course, while I do not condone hunting animals, my main concern is simply animal experimentation. It's unnecessary and useless of taxpayer dollars. The more you inform yourself about the alternatives available, the more you will disagree with your statement of harming animals for the sake of human's mistakes.
Everyone who's pro animal testing should read the comments by Cindy Rapp. Before having more insight, nobody should advocate this cruelty. Animal testing is not a 100% guarantee to save people's lives while it guarantees the death of innocent lives. Who is to decide which life is superior to another anyway?
I don't get it, some of you say that we should test on animals? If people think that animal testing just for a cure for cancer, alot of times it's failed. It isn't fair for the animals either because it's like testing on humans for a cure of a disease that animals have. And they don't do that, right? So to the people who think testing is "ok", you've got your facts wrong.
Cindy Rapp, I agree 100%
John Markus: people like you stand for the principle that the stronger makes the law – in less nice words this is called fascism! You have to consider that there is a strong minority worldwide who pretends that animals are feeling beings and have the same right for protection and shelter as the human beings! The greatest souls on this planet, above all human rights activists like Mahatma Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Dunant, Susan B.Anthony, Maria Montessori, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Albert Schweitzer, Victor Hugo and hosts of others always included the animal kingdom into their fight for justice. People who think that non-human life is less worth are dramatically wrong! We see this already from the destruction and degradation of this planet! Also Mother Earth is a sentient being who slowly gets fed up with this continuous respect- and loveless plundering by the human species and she starts withdrawing her gifts! But people are blind, deaf and dumb and they continue their harrassment until there shall be nothing left but ashes, poison and garbage – that's it!
maybe after two years you have over a hundred pigs from two – but after some years of speciesists like you – you have no more planet at all fullstop
Stop this tortue! Experiment on yourselves if you think it is that pleasant and harmless! Shame on you, animal abusers :@

Want to reap the heart health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, but dislike fish? We've got you covered.
Omega-3 fatty acids are all the rage right now, and for good reason: A Standard American Diet (or �SAD,"as it is appropriately abbreviated) is usually loaded with protein, saturated fat, and processed foods�all of which tend to promote inflammation in our bodies.� Over time, chronic inflammation can wreak havoc on your body, causing all sorts of complications like skin eruptions (acne, eczema), chronic muscle or joint pain, sleep and psychological disorders, or weight gain. It may also leave you open to disease states like heart disease, cancer, or auto-immune diseases like Lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.� Eating an anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruit and vegetables, whole grains, plant protein sources, and fewer processed foods is an excellent way to reduce chronic inflammation.� Adding omega-3s can further tip the balance back in favor of anti-inflammatory processes. The best source of omega-3 fatty acids is cold water fish�think salmon, sardines, herring, and cod.� When authorities call it the �best� source, they mean it�s the most efficient source due to the fact that these fish contain the most readily usable forms of omega-3s, Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). But what if you�re a vegetarian?� Or you just don�t eat fish?� The good news is that there are plenty of non-fishy alternatives, so you can fulfill your omega-3 fatty acid requirements in many ways.� The challenges are two-fold: 1. The plant form of these fatty acids, Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA), has to undergo a conversion process in the body before it can be utilized by your body systems as EPA.� Research has found that only a portion of the ALA is converted to EPA. Thus, you need to consume more plant-sourced omega-3s than you would if you got them from fish, a recommended total of about 1100 � 1600 mg per day for adults. 2. The other omega-3 your body needs is DHA, and that�s tough to come by in a diet devoid of fish.� However, some microalgae do provide DHA. But with all the options out there, you can diversify your food and supplement sources of omega-3s and never be bored. �Check out some of your options below: Nuts:�Walnuts and their lesser-known cousin, the Butternut, are excellent sources of the omega-3, Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA).� Just one ounce (about 12 walnut halves) has about 1,000mg ALA. Cashews and pecans also contain lesser amounts. Omega-3 fatty acids are delicate and tend to oxidize quickly and go rancid. Because of this, your best bet is to buy raw nuts and roast them at home just prior to eating.� This can be done quickly and easily on the stove top in a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Just stir them around constantly for a few minutes until you start the smell the oil inside the nuts heat up.� Then, transfer the nuts to a plate to cool for a few minutes, and add them to your morning oatmeal, sprinkle them on top of a salad, or add them to trail mix for an on-the-go snack. Seeds:� Flax seed, chia seed, and hemp seed are all great sources of ALA.� Flax seeds were favorite snacks of the ancient Romans who kept bowls of them around and took pride in chewing them thoroughly and methodically.�You can get the most out of flaxseeds by buying them whole and grinding them in small amounts. Keep the ground flax meal in the refrigerator, and sprinkle a tablespoon or so on your morning yogurt. Half a tablespoon contains about 6,000mg of ALA! Chia seeds (yes, the same ones that sprout the hair on Chia-Pets!) are another nutty-tasting seed high in ALA.� They have a unique property that allows them to form a jelly when mixed with liquid, which makes them a great addition to smoothies. Or add them whole to cereals or muffins for a nutty crunch.� Look for hemp hearts in the natural foods section of the grocery store for another great source of omega-3s. Hemp hearts have a mild grain-like flavor and texture, excellent when added to hot cereal or sprinkled on top of nut-butter on toast. Oils:� Flax oil, walnut oil, and hemp seed oil are all excellent sources of ALA.� Because omega-3 fatty acids oxidize so quickly when heated, these oils are not for cooking. But they make great, flavorful salad dressings, and are delicious drizzled on popcorn, or tossed with soba noodles and a little soy sauce.� Buy these oils in small amounts and keep them in the refrigerator to slow their oxidation.� Once opened, they should keep in the refrigerator for several weeks.� If they start to smell fishy or like old oil paint, that�s an indication they�ve gone rancid � throw them out.� Soybean and canola (rapeseed) oils also contain ALA, but are often highly processed and refined, which make them less healthy alternatives.� Much of the soy and canola products in the U.S. are also genetically engineered, buy organic oils if this is of concern to you. Supplements:� Any of the oils listed above may be taken by the spoonful as a dietary supplement.� Capsule forms of these oils are also available.� Flax oil has the most ALA of the oils mentioned, and is the easiest to find at your grocery store or supplement retailer.� Micro-algae like Spirulina and Chlorella are great sources of ALA as well; Schizochytrium is a particularly advantageous algae option in that it not only contains ALA, but also DHA and EPA, which you won�t find in other plant sources.� Read the supplement facts label for specific amounts contained in each product. Omega-3 fortified foods:� Lots of foods on your grocery store�s shelves are now fortified with ALA, DHA, and EPA, including some peanut butters, dairy products, soy milks, and eggs.� The label will usually tell you how much of each type of omega-3 is in a serving, and may even list the source of those fatty acids. Recommended intake of omega-3s for non-fish eaters varies considerably.� The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for ALA is 1100mg per day for women, 1600mg per day for men�(Institute of Medicine, 2002/2005).� But, due to the conversion issues discussed above, most practitioners recommend that their vegetarian and vegan patients consume 2-4 times that amount per day.� Either way, a diet high in ALA-containing foods will fulfill your ALA needs just fine: a handful of walnuts with breakfast, flax seed salad dressing at lunch, and you�re covered.� But because DHA is not present in appreciable amounts in plant foods, you will likely need to supplement with 300mg DHA �per day from fortified foods or a blue-green algae supplement.

à éviter pour les peaux sensibles
Posted by TesteuseNature on Jul 03, 2013
Petite lotion agréable. Douce et astringente en même temps, le tout avec une fraîche odeur de lilas. Packaging surprenant mais vintage-sympa. J'ai ôté une étoile, car j'ai le sentiment que cette lotion est un peu trop agressive pour mon épiderme: certaines zones (ailes du nez notamment) me brûlent lors de l'application et il semblerait que ma production de sébum accroît depuis que j'utilise ce produit.
Pleasant to use non-drying formula

I like Thayers alcohol-free toners; they are pleasant to use, non-drying and reasonably priced.

I like a quality of toner. Makes your skin firm and fresh without drying. But smell is just awful, nothing like Lilac:)

I've used it 4 times since coming product, and I have to say it has many plus points
Does soften my skin but not suitable for Summer here
Posted by 5021785776965843175 on Aug 07, 2015
I actually pretty like this toner since it really does soften my skin. After applying it, my skin looks a bit brightener. However, summer in Hong Kong is pretty wet. It's a little "too much". I will just keep it and use it later. It's good, but I guess the weather and climate of the place you live are factors needed to be concerned about.
Witch hazel toner
Posted by Reviewer1325083 on Nov 21, 2015
it does seem to soften skin after use. I always heard about the benefits of witch hazel for oily skin and large pores but didn't like how it felt on my skin. This one just feels like water, no residue, and doesn't stink.
nice smell
Posted by Reviewer1873598 on Mar 10, 2016
I don't know about skin softening, but this has a nice gentle lilacs smell, and is very refreshing on tired skin at the end of the day.
Love it!

Have been using a witch hazel toner, but just realised it had alcohol in it. Great to rediscover the witch hazel I remember from my youth!

Ideally it is recommended you install everything from the binary releases featured at
libcouchbase: http://www.couchbase.com/develop/c/current
php-ext-couchbase: http://www.couchbase.com/develop/php/current
The Couchbase PHP Client Library is supported on PHP versions 5.3 and later. Couchbase does not support PHP 5.2 and earlier, although basic functionality may work OK for some users.
Version Matrix
| PHP Client
| Server Compatibility
| Supported Features
|2.0, 1.8
|2.0, 1.8
|master branch
| 2.0.x (or current
libcouchbase master)
|2.0, 1.8
| Same as 1.1.x, maybe some
other goodies
|1.0.x branch
|2.0, 1.8
|Same as 1.0.x release
Connecting to a Live Server
The 1.0.x PHP Couchbase Client Library does not currently use multiple URIs, but this can be easily worked around when setting up the connection. A future release will add support for multiple URIs.
$servers = array("http://server1:8091", "http://server2:8091"); function my_couchbase_connect($servers) { do { if (empty($servers)) { echo "no suitable server found"; return false; // throw } $server = array_pop($servers); $cb = couchbase_connect($server); } while (!$cb); return $cb; }
Installing From Source
It is a common need to install from source (there is a lot of variation in the Zend API revisions). The symptom is something like:
$ php -i > /dev/null
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: couchbase: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20090626, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP compiled with module API=20060613, debug=0, thread-safety=0
These options need to match
in Unknown on line 0
The first thing to do is install libcouchbase, the C client library for Couchbase, including development files. We recommend, where possible, installing binary packages of libcouchbase rather than building it from source. Use the above version matrix to determine the version you need.
For php-ext-couchbase source installation, do the following:
$ git clone git://github.com/couchbase/php-ext-couchbase.git
$ cd php-ext-couchbase
$ phpize
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install (or just copy modules/couchbase.so to your extension directory)
If libcouchbase is installed in a non-default path (for example, in your home directory) then you need to specify --with-couchbase=$dir to ./configure, where $dir is the installation prefix; such that $dir/include/libcouchbase/couchbase.h exists, and that $dir/lib/libcouchbase.so (or libcouchbase.dylib, for OS X) exists
Old Version 1.0.x
The 1.0.x PHP extension version is available in source form from the 1.0.x branch on github. This version is not recommended for current development, but is still available for existing applications which rely on it. Upgrading from 1.0.x to the current version requires very few, if any, code changes to the application.
Binary packages
As outlined in the Version Matrix, the 1.0.x PHP extension needs the 1.x libcouchbase library. It will not work with libcouchbase 2.0.x. Binary packages for these older releases are available:
libcouchbase: http://www.couchbase.com/develop/c/previous
php-ext-couchbase: http://www.couchbase.com/develop/php/previous
Building from source
After cloning the php-ext-couchbase repository from github, the 1.0.x branch can be checked out with:
$ git checkout 1.0.x
Follow the instructions for building from source as usual.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
By Lighmary Flores '17
For a few days last week, the walls of Memorial Chapel resonated with the rich and beautiful tones of Johan Sebastian Bach as Whittier College hosted the 77th Annual Bach Festival, the oldest collegiate Bach festival west of the Mississippi.
The festival, which concluded on April 6, featured talented students, faculty, alumni and guests including the Horizon Chamber Players, Chorale Bel Canto, and Raymond Erickson '63.
Click here to see a video of the Festival's highlights.
On Friday afternoon, Whittier students and faculty were the first to take the stage during the Bach Musicale. Ranging from brass to strings and ensembles to solos, the student and faculty instrumentations produced a sometimes melancholic, sometimes romantic, yet an altogether profoundly moving performance.
"I choose to play Bach because I think that he plays beautiful music," said Michael Urquidi '14, who performed a solo on the guitar during the Bach Musicale. "I love to learn every bit of it. It's a little daunting at first, when you look at the music, but once you figure it out, it becomes so easy and absolutely beautiful."
Seeking to introduce Bach to students in a way that is "more approachable and appreciative," the music department chose the theme of "Bach and the Cantata" because cantatas tell stories through music.
The next two festival events soared with rich vocal demonstrations by the Horizon Chamber Players and Chorale Bel Canto of Bach's cantatas.
Horizon Chamber Players brought Zimmerman's Coffee House, Bach's own artistic sanctuary, to life as spectators enjoyed a cup of coffee and Bach's lyrical and humorous secular cantatas. For their part, Chorale Bel Canto filled Memorial Chapel with exuberant, powerful, and melodic cantatas, including The Mighty Fortress, that reflected Bach's Lutheran roots.
"I think the Bach Festival is a great idea [which allows] vocalists to get the experience of seeing professionals perform. As a vocalist, it's wonderful to see people at that professional level here at Whittier College," said music major Meagan Caldwell '14.
The last night of the Festival featured the return of alumnus Erickson, a regular performer and supporter of the yearly event. Erickson presented a harpsichord recital, "Bach and his Contemporaries."
The exquisitely carved case and legs of the harpsichord were painted with wistful landscapes which were brought to life by Raymond's complex and entrancing playing.
"[Whittier College students] have a chance to experience some of the great masterworks of music through the Bach Festival," said Erickson. "They get really topnotch musical performances.
Moreover Erickson encourages all Whittier students, regardless of major, to explore the offerings of the music department and its faculty.
"That is what a liberal arts education is all about," he added.
For his part, student performer Armando Gonzalez '14 was effusive about the festival.
"Bach just rocks. As a music major, you can't really [learn to play] music without Bach. You want to hear some really great music listen to Bach."

In 1986 by initiative, the people of Idaho voted on the Lottery issue for the first time. The initiative resulted in a 60 to 40 percent "yes" margin, but was later declared unconstitutional by the Idaho Supreme Court. The Court prohibited the amending of the Idaho Constitution by initiative. However, in 1988 the Idaho Legislature authorized a vote by the electorate of Idaho in the upcoming general election. In November 1988, the Idaho Lottery act became law when 51% of Idaho voters approved a constitutional amendment repealing the constitutional ban on lotteries.
Idaho set a new industry record by implementing a lottery within 200 days. The first Idaho Lottery ticket was sold on July 19, 1989. On that first day of sales, players purchased more than 840,000 tickets throughout Idaho. That first year resulted in $65 million in sales and the first dividend check of $17,225,000 was given to then Governor Cecil D. Andrus on behalf of the "People of the State of Idaho."
Since its inception, the Idaho Lottery has offered lottery players more than 1,000 different Scratch Games™. On February 1, 1990, the first Idaho Draw Game™ ticket was sold. The first Draw Game™ presented to Idaho Lottery players was "Idaho Super Lotto/Lotto*America." Over the years, the Idaho Lottery has offered different games with some changing names. Super Lotto/Lotto America became Powerball in 1992.
The mission of the Idaho Lottery is to responsibly provide entertaining games with a high degree of integrity to maximize the dividends for public schools and buildings. Historically, Lottery dividends are shared by Idaho's Public School Building Account and the Permanent Building Fund. A statute change in 2009, sets aside a portion of Lottery funds above the Fiscal Year 2008 funding level of $34 million for the Bond Levy Equalization Fund.
Since their inception in 1989, the Idaho Lottery has sold over $3 billion in products, awarded nearly $1.77 billion in prizes to players, returned more than $160 million in retail commissions, and distributed more than $694.5 million in Lottery dividends to state public schools and buildings.
The Idaho Lottery is composed of the Lottery Commission and the Idaho Lottery staff. The Governor appoints the five-member commission and each member serves for four years. The Commission adopts rules for the agency, approves contracts and monitors all Lottery operations. Executive Director Jeffrey R. Anderson serves at the pleasure of the Governor. The Director is responsible for overseeing day-to-day Lottery operations, including security, marketing, sales, media relations, warehousing and inventory control, information systems and fiscal management.

Growth Alliance goes online
The Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance has launched a new website.
The site, www.greaterfortdodge.com, went live Wednesday.
"The website will provide a better way to communicate with our members, residents, industry and retail prospects and work force," said Dennis Plautz, the alliance's chief executive officer. "We look forward to the continual evolution of the website to be the go-to source for information."
Plautz said having a website is essential because professional site selectors who help businesses find new locations start their work with the Internet.
He added that the site will also provide information for people who aren't professional site selectors.
"It's clearly a networking opportunity between area residents, area businesses and anyone outside of Fort Dodge," Plautz said.
The site provides information on the alliance and the community.
Features of the website include:
Listings of available property;
Event registration and payment options;
A place where job seekers can post their resumes;
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube links.

Calculate the cost of your schooling at Building Tomorrow. According to the calculator, Illinois public schools in the '50s and '60s spent $21,029 to educate me from first through seventh grade. (I assume that's adjusted for inflation.) A generation later, my daughter's California schooling cost more than $50,000 through seventh grade.
Building Tomorrow is raising money for primary schools in Uganda, where it costs $350 to get a student through seventh grade.

Browsing Accounting Theses and Dissertations by Subject "Earnings quality"

Jackson, Mark, 1963- (University of Oregon, June , 2009)[more][less]Jackson, Mark, 1963- 2010-02-27T00:35:15Z 2010-02-27T00:35:15Z 2009-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/10224 x, 65 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. I examine the relation between book-tax differences (BTDs) and earnings growth. Because financial accounting rules afford managers more flexibility and discretion in reporting than tax accounting rules, prior studies suggest that large differences between book and taxable income indicate lower quality (or less persistent) earnings. Lev and Nissim and Hanlon provide evidence that BTDs contain information about future firm performance, but the nature of the causality in this relation is not clear. While BTDs could proxy for earnings quality, they may also reveal underlying economic events or management's private information about future performance or simply predict future reversals in effective tax rates. I divide total BTDs into their measurable components: temporary (deferred taxes) and non-temporary (permanent differences and tax accruals), and test their relation with the components of net income changes: pretax earnings changes and tax expense changes. I hypothesize that the non-temporary component of BTDs is negatively related to future changes in tax expense, whereas the temporary component of BTDs is negatively related to changes in future pretax earnings. I also examine the maintained hypothesis that the lower earnings growth for large BTD firms is due to earnings management. I use various proxies from prior literature to identify firms potentially managing earnings and test whether the presence or absence of suspected earnings management activity alters the relation between BTDs and earnings changes. My results provide compelling evidence that permanent BTDs are related only to future changes in tax expense, and temporary BTDs are related to changes in pretax earnings. These results are robust to multiple sensitivity analyses, including a replication of the sample and methodology of Lev and Nissim. The results also hold in the case of firms not suspected of earnings management. In fact, 1 find only limited evidence that the results are stronger in the presence of earnings management. Overall, my study suggests that it is only the temporary component of BTDs that is related to future firm performance, with non-temporary differences being related to future tax expense changes, and that these results are primarily due to underlying economic factors, not earnings management.

About this time last year, the creator and stars of Veronica Mars introduced a Kickstarter campaign seeking to fund a movie that would give closure to the abruptly canceled TV mystery series.
The online fundraising offered renewed hope to fervent fans, who had clamored for more since the CW dropped the show in 2007.
Those fans — affectionately dubbed "Marshmallows," per a reference in the pilot episode — responded without hesitation.
In 11 short hours, in fact, the campaign had reached the $2 million goal established by Warner Bros. studio executives; and, through the 30-day run of the solicitation, raised $5.7 million.
Alexis Cole, a law student at Ohio State University who had all but given up on a Veronica Mars future, was among the record-breaking 91,585 contributors.
"There was a lot of talk about this happening, so, when it finally looked like it actually would happen, I said, 'Absolutely,'" said Cole, who chipped in $35.
Beginning on Friday, she and fellow Marshmallows everywhere will realize their much-anticipated return on investment when the film Veronica Mars opens at AMC theaters nationwide.
"I've been waiting for this for so long," the 28-year-old said. "It's my favorite show — and I like a lot of shows."
Simultaneous with the release in theaters, digital copies will be made available to Kickstarter backers who donated $35 or more; others will be able to access it via iTunes, on demand (with participating cable providers) and through other digital retailers. (Due later this month is the first book in a new Veronica Mars mystery series, which picks up where the film leaves off.)
When viewers last saw the TV series — it premiered in 2004 on UPN but fell victim in 2007 to the merger of UPN and the WB, which became the CW — the sharp-witted title character played by Kristen Bell was finishing her freshman year of college, dating Stosh "Piz" Piznarski and committed to a summer internship with the FBI.
As the movie opens, nine years have passed — and Veronica, recently out of law school, is heading back to Neptune, Calif., the fictional coastal town where the series was set. Her bad-boy ex-boyfriend, Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring), is accused of murder; and Veronica, who thought she had left her private-investigator life behind, will soon be on the case.
Most of the actors from the TV series — who, like their fans, were eager for a revival — signed on for the movie.
Bell — who moved on to various films, appearing in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and voice acting in the Oscar-winning Frozen — recently told The New York Times that she never doubted the viability of the Kickstarter campaign.
"In every press interview I've had in the last seven years, the interviewer has asked me, 'Will there ever be a Veronica Mars movie?'" Bell said. "So I assumed there was a fair amount of interest."
More like fan-demonium.
Mark Thompson, a welder in Cincinnati, was so attached to the wit of Veronica Mars that, after the show's cancellation, he co-founded Neptune Rising: The Veronica Mars Movement, an online forum and social-media campaign.
Thompson, a 49-year-old father of three grown children, especially liked the father-daughter relationship between Veronica and Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni).
Through Neptune Rising, he rallied fellow fans, who sent marshmallows and Mars candy bars to the cable network; arranged online question-and-answer sessions with cast members; and even rented a plane to fly a banner promoting DVD sales.
Such efforts to save the show remained strong for about three years, Thompson said. Even after the support waned, though, he and others kept the website going to remind Marshmallows "that there is still a voice for them."
Then came the Kickstarter effort — and a renewed frenzy.
"It was a breath of fresh air," said Thompson, who wishes he could have donated more than the $50 he did. "I just want the movie to do well."
The Kickstarter campaign, show creator Rob Thomas said, wouldn't have happened without the grass-roots efforts.
"Sending the Mars bars ... (and pursuing other paths) may not have paid off immediately, but they paid off in the long run. Neither Kristen nor I would have launched the Kickstarter if we didn't believe there was some groundswell."
Responsible for that groundswell were people such as Emily Bean, 24, of Reynoldsburg.
A die-hard fan since the pilot, she hopes that the $50 she donated toward the movie buys her some closure.
"We want to know our people are going to be OK," Bean said.
Nicole Hallberg of the West Side, a teenager when Veronica Mars first aired, was instantly drawn to the strong title character.
Veronica "is quirky and smart," she said — "a modern-day Nancy Drew."
The show appeals to people on various levels, Thomas said, but one general strength stands out: Veronica's ability to "kick ass."
"Teenage years are years of being self-conscious — beholden to what your friends think, what your enemies think, what that cute boy thinks," he said. "Veronica has this thing that she doesn't care what other people think of her. She's been to hell and is on the other side; that's her 'superpower.' "
It's also what continues to draw new fans into Neptune.
Leticia Wiggins began watching the show on DVD during the summer at the urging of her friend Cole, the OSU law student.
Although Wiggins had her doubts about the show, she was pleasantly surprised by its serious themes, including race relations, sexual assault and socioeconomic disparities.
"Everything seems black and white at first, but then there are lots of nuances," said the 25-year-old, an OSU doctoral student who lives in Victorian Village. "It's definitely a lot more complex."
She looks forward to seeing what mystery Thomas has cooked up for the movie.
Cole, Wiggins and several other friends will spend the week re-watching the series on DVD and concocting Veronica Mars-style outfits to wear to the movie theater.
"When they announced the movie day, I was so excited because we are on spring break," Cole said. "It gives us time to prepare."

Against the Ravens when he prepared for guard he was awesome. By far his best game of the year.
He's not that good at center IMO.
He'd be the best guard in football if he played there full time.
Against the Ravens when he prepared for guard he was awesome. By far his best game of the year.
He's not that good at center IMO.
He'd be the best guard in football if he played there full time.
He gets out muscled constantly by NFL nose tackles. You also must remember he played in a gimmick offense at Florida, where run blocking for backs in a traditional set wasn't the norm.
In case you don't know? They don't run the Tebow gimmick offense in Pittsburgh.
If Pouncey was on any other team? He'd already be at guard full time.
Okay, I'll get it started. With the above mentioned talk that the Steelers do not want Harrison back, do you think that is their ultimate say in the matter ? Also, are the Steelers trying to teach Harrisons agent Parise a lesson too ? Seems to me when the Steelers offer and old guy a contract or dollar amount, the mean what they offer.
If the Steelers would offer a contract to James, I think it would only happen when the agent initiates an approach to the Steelers and comes to them hat-in-hand, with the exception that the Steelers have a felt need (as in case of injury to Worilds or Woodley). And, since market value for James seems to have been set, the contract would be much less than originally offered. IMO. That said, I would like to see James back for another year, at vet minimum with incentives. I doubt he would accept that.

Organic and delicious!
Posted by TrueReviews on Nov 15, 2013
I absolutely love this coconut milk, it is organic, and does have a very natural taste, when compared to other brands. I use it in baking, in cooking, even in my coffee in the morning! The can is BPA free, which makes it perfectly safe! Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.
Good Solid Coconut Milk
Posted by Reviewer1275622 on Dec 20, 2012
I use this to make organic coconut milk kefir, and it works well.
The only coconut milk without BPA in can
Posted by Reviewer3254772 on Jul 23, 2011
From my research so far Organic Grace reports that this company does not use BPA lined cans which is highly carcinogenic. The milk tastes delicious too.
Nice Product
Posted by Reviewer2030067 on Mar 06, 2012
This coconut milk seems to be one of the best I've tried, with a fresh clean taste, unlike some others that have a cloying stickiness that tends to make me feel a bit sick after eating.
Really good
Posted by Reviewer1728503 on Feb 29, 2012
This is great coconut milk. Noticed the aroma right away when I opened it. More flavorful, better creamy texture than what I was getting at the grocery. Used it in coconut macaroons and coconut ginger rice with good effect-yummmm! Highly recommend.
Excellent flavor.
Posted by Reviewer3106204 on Nov 24, 2011
This is my first time using this brand of organic coconut milk. It was excellent in flavor and had a creamy consistency that was perfect for the pumpkin pie I was making. I use coconut milk instead of canned milk in many recipes and no one would know the difference. I will reorder Edward & Sons Unsweetened Organic Coconut Milk.
Posted by Reviewer1749325 on Nov 09, 2012
Purchased this brand because of organic and no chemical lining in the can. The product disappoints on several levels -- very watery,uninteresting taste and smell. Several of the cans were dented. The description mentions water as an ingredient but I didn't expect it to be so watered down. Usually coconut milk this thin is listed as "light". A lesson learned. Won't purchase again.
Too bad
Posted by Darlynn on Dec 13, 2013
I originally had five stars for this product, but I got a can of sour coconut milk. Yuck! How could this happen to a canned product other than it was already sour before put in the can. Won't order it anymore.
so creamy:)
Posted by 5033765118716539403 on Jun 06, 2014
I liked it! You can taste nice flavor of coconut and it's really creamy! I used it for smoothies.

I recently bought a Para DI to use on gypsy jazz gigs with large PAs. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to start with the settings? I'm a little overwhelmed with the choices and flexibility. How do you set it flat, especially with the notches and midrange sweep?
I'm playing a Gitane with a K&K Pure Macaferri pickup, and I'm looking for a big, warm sound, similar to what you'd get out of a nylon string guitar. This guitar doesn't behave like a Martin/Guid/Gibson/Taylor, and that's not the sound I'm going for anyway.
Thanks in advance.

Skip to comments.Atheism as the new World "Religion" (ZOT!)
Posted on 02/08/2013 3:30:15 PM PST by JaneAnna23
Hello fellow free republicans! I've been reading more and more online about how Atheists have started a movement to have Atheistic Churches the way doctrinal/theological religions do. Regardless of where you stand it's certainly a thought-provoking movement seeing as Atheism has long been an intellectual perspective of DOUBT in any religion. But I found an interesting video on youtube/cleantv.com about it. It's only 3 minutes so it is well worth your time. So check it out! I'm interested to see what others think about atheistic movements in our culture.

I didn't notice this was in the Religion Forum until after I posted. Sorry.
Kitty looks hungry! *slurp*
>> Have you ever met or even listened to someone professing to be an atheist?
I have a formless Faith in Christianity which renders every argument against it as puerile nonsense.
Probably ate up all the crispy skin. Don't worry. He'll be all right. You're so sweet!
In Before Zot The?
Obviously, you've discovered Yoda's screen name ...
I don't see it going over well. I've been going to church my whole life & if one day I decide everything I believe is false, I'd be sleeping in & lazing around the house on Sunday mornings for the rest of my life.
I once p*ssed off some redneck Unitarians.
They burned a question mark on my lawn.
Wow, Not only were the Viking Kittehs upset with this thread, it appears both Ceiling and Basement Cat approved of that Zot!
That is one very scary kitteh!
That was very, very well-said. Thank you.
And thanks to you, dear TOL, for the Ping.
The original humanist manifesto did not represent secular humanism. Humanism is, originally, a term for a Christian religious ideal that sees religion as for the benefit of mankind, as opposed to nature worship (as was common among pagans) or merely abstract and capricious demands of God (as was the mindset of the less-educated or utilitarian-educated Christians).
"Atheists don't believe in God. But the Devil does.''- Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.
Any fool can have doubt. I would say the typical idiot begins in a state of doubt and remains that way from basic laziness and ignorance. While on the other hand, a Christian put the effort in to learn more and has the ability to process information.
Yes, click on this link to download my spyware.
Probably, like, your "organic" pads...dude.
Now we can insist the government schools stop establishing it as a State Religion.
Atheists have a point of view to evangelize (as it were).
Agnostics, perhaps less so, perhaps they are willing to "coexist" as the popular motto puts it because after all, as far as their own standards are concerned, one of those religions they can't believe in might be correct.
A "faith in Christianity" isn't "formless." It has a most distinct structure. Or do you mean to speak hypothetically?
Dyslexics untie!
I once considered the Quaker religion...I appreciate their solemn silence and piety.
I only briefly considered it. I cannot reconcile their beliefs on combat.
If they feel that way, fine. Good for them. But don't open your mouth, and don't get in my way of defending myself.
None of my business who gets zotted, but the video that was linked was anti-atheist and pro-God.
Ooooh! VERY nice graphic!
You're a Viking Kitty. On the ZOT Ping List, everyone is a VK! Welcome.
You're most welcome, my friend.
I know, I read all the way to the end of the book. Just kinda wanted to see grandkids and actually leave them a free country to live in.
Coincidentally, I saw a dyslexic try to commit suicide today.......... he jumped behind a bus.
As in no spacial characteristics.
you mean then, it's not a physical object.

Topic: How to use will_paginate on this code?
I can't get to seem to wrap my head around this so if you could point me to the right direction, that would be really appreciated.
I have a method class in my category model
def with_categorized_listing
directories.find(:all, :include => :categorizations, :joins => 'INNER JOIN companies c ON company_id = c.id', :order => 'featured DESC')
<% for listing in @category.with_categorized_listing %>

<%= listing.company.name %>

<%=h listing.address1 %> <%=h listing.address2 -%>,

<%=h listing.city %>, <%=h listing.state %> <%=h listing.zipcode %>
<% end %>
Is it still possible to implement will_paginate to this?

You know how it is when you're at a car show...you're shooting the bull with the boys when the discussion gets around to muscle cars. Everyone's got an opinion on what the top American muscle cars are, and each muscle car fan has his or her own "list".
But I came across this list on the SenseTheCar.com blog, and to me it's hard to argue with the choices (as long as it's not listed in any particular order!).
The cars are listed below. If you disagree, feel free to give us your list in the comments section below.
Dodge Charger
Immortalized forever as the "General Lee" in the TV show, "The Dukes of Hazzard".
Pontiac GTO
"Critics in its day pointed out the sluggish steering, sparse interior and unsteady brakes, but once the GTO hit a straight line, it blew its competition out of the water."
Chevrolet Chevelle
"...in 1970, Chevrolet released a bombshell with the Chevelle SS and its jaw-dropping 450-horsepower engine."
Chevrolet Camaro
"One of the longest-lived muscle car models, thanks to its persistent popularity."
Ford Mustang
"The most successful muscle car of all time...synonymous with the kind of raw power and thrills the world expects from a brilliant piece of American engineering."

..." when Gennaro Lombardi, the founding father of American pizza, opened his shop on Spring Street in SoHo a century ago, he was tampering with tradition. He had to use local tomatoes, explains the voice-over, "instead of San Marzano tomatoes grown in the volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius." And atop the local tomato sauce he melted ordinary cow cheese, instead of the distinctive Italian mozzarella made from water-buffalo milk...."But Lombardi's real contribution, let's face it, was droopiness. Neapolitan pizza tends to be crisp; its slices stay horizontal when you eat them. New York pizza droops. This dubious, if cherished, effect comes from the coal ovens.

Ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) manufacturers need to add support for wide-area wireless networks in order for the devices to fulfill their full market potential, according to In-Stat market tracking firm.
"The challenge is which of the broadband options: WiMAX, EV-DO, HSPA, or LTE, will be most successful in a UMPC," says Frank Dickson, Vice President, Mobile Internet group. "Each has pros and cons. There is no 'best' wide-area wireless technology." said Frank Dickson, vice president, mobile internet group.
UMPCs will increasingly add support for wide-area wireless to supplement Wi-Fi. The connect rate for wide-area wireless will grow from 20% today to almost 50% by 2012.
In-Stat's end-user survey revealed that 44% of notebook PC users express frustration with coverage when using Wi-Fi, compared with just 15% using a cellular broadband service.
Competitors are experimenting with business models and subsidies. AT&T Mobility and RadioShack recently initiated a consumer offer for a subsidized Acer Aspire UMPC coupled with a broadband service plan

-i like to obsessively gather DIY projects from around the webs
-i forewent pre-school when i was little to stay home and do crafts and read books with my mom... so pretty much not a lot has changed in 20 years. just kidding, a lot has changed. but not really that.
-makey rhymes with nakey [heehee]
you need: bottle of elmer's glue gel, fabric dye, rubber gloves, white cotton
garment, water resistant board [like a big ole lid], bucket/bowl/tub to dye in
2. draw on design with gel glue [i googled & printed out this butterfly outline, put the page in a freezer bag, slipped it underneath the shirt & traced over it! way easy.]
3. let shirt & glue dry completely [left mine overnight]
4. prepare the dye according to directions in a bucket/bowl/tub in the sink
5. swirl garment around in the dye with your glove hands for a while
6. spread out & let dry
7. run it through the washing machine or hand wash to get excess dye & glue out
8. ta da! since i'm a butterfly charmer now i really loooove my butterfly shirt! plus it's soft. i made sure to buy a really soft, comfy shirt to do this on. yay.
you need: xl white cotton tee, fabric dye,
rubber gloves, scissors, bucket/bowl/tub to dye in
2. lay out to dry completely, then machine or hand wash, dry
3. cut just above the hem of the shirt & just beneath armpits [as straight as possible, of course]
4. stretch out material til it's as scarfy as it can be and voila! a new scarf for the season. steven didn't even recognize his old shirty when i walked in with my new scarf on. also, i wore my scarf to go see my mom at farmhome and i'm pretty sure all the animals there were like "oooh, where'd you get that scarf, girl?"

If you think that your phone calls are safe from third parties, you may want to think again. Members from the hacking group called The Chaos Computer Club plan to release a code that will supposedly give hackers complete access to your private phone calls. They claim that it can be done with a simple laptop and an antenna.
They also claim that various government criminal organizations already use this technique to break the encryption that protects your calls. GSM uses algorithms for key generation, authentication, and to encrypt its connections. The Chaos Computer Club has found a way to crack the encryption used on GSM phones that can be used to decode conversations and any data sent to or from your phone.
Mobile carriers are working towards a stronger encyrption algorithm for 3G wireless phones, in the meantime programs like Cellcrypt offers encryption beyond what your cell phone carrier can offer.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Health Information Exchanges: Profiling Four Efforts
There are about 200 health information exchanges in the United States today, and that number is growing fast, particularly now that the federal government is expected to make the ability to exchange patient data electronically part of the "meaningful use" criteria that physicians and hospitals have to meet to get funds to help them deploy electronic health record systems.?
HIEs feed data into patients' EHRs from doctors and hospital visits, as well as lab and other medical tests done at outside facilities. They alert doctors when information is available, helping speed decision-making by providing faster access to data. They also cut down redundant testing and help ensure patient safety by letting all caregivers know what medications a patient is taking and other pertinent information. Most important, HIEs ensure that all doctors providing care to a patient have the most up-to-date and comprehensive information.?
While there's a lot of enthusiasm for these networks, not everyone is comfortable. There is a steep learning curve, and physicians are having to get beyond petty concerns about how other doctors might use patient data to steal patients and that patients could use easier access to their data to change doctors more frequently.
HIEs aren't new. Many were launched over the last decade without solid business models and didn't succeed. Now, with big money behind getting healthcare providers to install and use EHR systems, it's possible that HIEs will have a better chance of surviving. This report looks at four that appear to be off to a solid start.
