Exclusive: Parents of fallen firefighter speak out
SANTA YNEZ, Calif. - The parents of 26-year old Sean Misner spoke to NewsChannel 3 for the first time since they returned from Arizona.
Ron and Tammy sat down with Shirin Rajaee for an exclusive interview just one day after thousands gathered for Sean's Memorial at Santa Ynez Union High School on Monday.
Both are mourning the loss of their son and the 18 other crew members who were also killed in the Yarnell fire in Prescott Arizona on June 30.
The Misner's say they're still in disbelief, but have some comfort knowing that Sean is with his grandfather. Sean comes from a family of firefighters and hot shot teams.
His uncle is the current operations chief at Montecito Fire District, and his grandfather was a former fire chief there.
Ron and Tammy are very proud of their sons accomplishments. They say Sean loved what he did and was following his dreams.
They also add that he was very happy. Just last year, he married his sweetheart, Amanda. She's now eight months pregnant with their unborn son Jaxson.
To make a donation to help the family, here is a linked email address for PayPal:
Or go to Sean's Memorial Facebook page:
NewsChannel 3 reporter Shirin Rajaee will have the story Wednesday at 5, 6, and 11 p.m.

Transport facilities are very good, underground stations ( Zone 2), Jubilee Line which takes about 25 minutes to Oxford St or Piccadilly Circus and straight to Stratford Olimpic Venue. The flat is 5 minutes' walk to the underground station
If you like to exercise, Gladstone Park is just a 5 minute walk where you can exercise in a very relaxed setting but if you are more into swimming or weight training, Willesden Sports Centre is a 12 minute walk. The sport centre is very good and you can pay by the day, so you could incorporate training in your holidays or your short stay.
The flat is in a Victorian Mansion block with all modern facilities. There are two bedrooms, one occupied by me and a double room which is the room offered to rent. You will have access to a sitting room, a quite large family kitchen. You will also have access unlimited access to Internet through WIFI.
I am flexible in terms of checking in and out and you will have your own keys. If you are a driver I have a guest parking permit so there is no problem for you to bring your car. I love London and have quite a busy social life, so I can also give you information about this wonderful city in terms of what is going on for people who want to feel the real London and not just the tourist visits
I speak English, Spanish, some Portuguese, some Italian , and my son is fluent in French so we can answer questions in a few languages and help you if you need further information about the area.
I think I have covered quite a lot, but please if there is anything I have left out, just email me and will be happy to answer all your questions.
I hope to see you soon in my home soon.

Gabriel was a great host! His apartment is well-located just a street from the tube and it only takes 15 minutes to join the centre of London. You can easily feel at home. It was a pleasure to meet Gabriel and we hope that we'll be able to see him again soon. As we visited him during the weekend, he was at home and gave us good advice for our stay and answered to our many questions.
What we particularly liked in the apartment was the property, the old golden tap of the bath ;), the mattress (very soft) and the beauty of the decoration..
Thanks a lot for everything Gabriel! Best regards.
Fantastic man, Excellent flat. I do recommend !
Gabriel, thank you very much for your hospitality !!
hope to see you again,
My boyfriend and I recently stayed at Gabriel's flat, and it was the best place we could have ever imagined to stay in. This flat was absolutely stunning. Gabriel was an amazing host, very warm and welcoming. He was very informative, and was the nicest man to have as a host. This place will one hundred percent be my go to place to stay when I make some trips back to London. Our room was very spacious, so we never felt like we had to spend our time else where in the flat. Great location about 10 to 15 mins away from central and there was everything you needed as soon as you exited the tube station. I fell in love eith Gabriel's place.
The place was lovely- very clean, very Special, very comfortable! Gabriel is a very friendly and helpful host. We enjoyed talking to him, when he was there (which he isn' t very often!).
The tube line was close but didn' t run during the Bank Holidays over Easter. The replacement bus took much more time. Another small flaw: If you are used to standing while taking showers you might get a problem, because the beautiful antique bath tub only allows you to sit while showering...
I was there with my friend for 3 days and it was absolutely great! The apartment and decoration is amazing!
Gabriel is an excellent host with good advices and very friendly and courteous.
We immediately felt at home :-)
We would absolutely stay there again at any time.
A charming place to stay and a charming host. A comfortable, clean and stylish apartment to return to. Thank you. Cheers Rosalie and Jude
Perfect. I had an excellent stay with Gabriel. The room and appartment very well located in a nice quarter of Willesden. Shops and restaurants nearby and a few minutes from the tube station. Great value for the demanded price. Gabriel is a perfect host, very kind and helpfull. I strongly recommend him.
we stayed 5 days at Gabriels home, the first time in a privat accomodation, the first time for my son in London.We felt very much at home, the flat was as shown on wimdu, very nice, very clean, room had plenty of daylight, we slept very good in this cosy bed, the kitchen was very well equiped and nice to sit in, the bathroom very clean and as you can see on the photos very nice ( my only personal inconvenience was the fact that I couldnt stand for taking a shower, which I like very much, you had to squat or sit down due to the wooden floor and no curtain).
Gabriel is a very friendly and helpful host, a nice person, all in all a very good place.

Glossy magazines are littered with Hollywood's abs, biceps, triceps, lats, boobs and bums. Hugh can't have a family day at Bronte without his abs being snapped, and poor Jack's beach photos of his elderly man-cans make you wonder, 'Is this as good as it gets?'
Body after body is displayed with annoying regularity, and perfection is tedious for those that pursue it while waiting next to the phone for the call from Tinsel Town they inherently know will never come. Some exercise for 'dat look dat gits da cheeks bro', yet others solely stay healthy for weight management and heart health.
One thing I know is this - everybody likes a different body and therefore begs the question, 'who's got the body type that you want?'
Body type? Huge. Ripped. Massive arms and legs that don't fit into off-the-rack clothes. The body is granite hard, and the pursuit to get bigger is constant.
How to get it? Dedicate your life to hypertrophy training. The gym and heavy weights are your new mates, and much of your non-essential income will be spent on supplements, steroids or implants. Food intake is massive and measured to grow the body, then the brown rice/chicken diet kicks in for eight weeks to lean up and display muscle groups.
Who's got it? Sly Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronnie Coleman and male/female wrestlers in the WWE. Pamela Anderson and various plastic porn stars also fit into this category.
Body type? Some cushion for the pushin' is what it's all about. The body is what it is, so grab the remote and a beer to let a cuddly physique take shape.
How to get it? Eat, relax, then repeat. The gym membership is mainly used for the lazy man's triathlon – shit, shower, and shave.
Who's got it? Comedians seem to make their living from it. Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan got it going on for the men, while Rebel Wilson and Melissa McCarthy are the up-and-comers for the women.
Body type? Lean and toned. Mass means very little; most important is filling out a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with style.
How to get it? In the gym, high-intensity, weight-bearing sessions are king, and kitchen behaviour reeks of portion control and choosing salmon and veggies over fried pub grub with beers. Two words keep an individual lean and fit – commitment and consistency.
Who's got it? Ryan Gosling, Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt (the Fight Club era), and Ryan Reynolds. Sandra Bullock, Jessica Biel, Naomi Watts, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Aniston lead the women.
Body type? iPad thin with hunched shoulders from excessive internet use and gaming sessions paired with a six-pack from malnourishment and rebelling against supermarket greed.
How to get it? Become an emo or hipster, then reduce caloric intake to chips, energy drinks, and ciggies. Exercise comes via fixie riding and rave dancing to ensure skinny jeans expose half the arse.
Who's got it? Adrien Brody, that surly English chap from those Vampire movies and My Chemical Romance's lead singer. The ladies have Kristen Stewart, Keira Knightley, the Olsen twins, and Angelina Jolie.
Body type? Physically, these folks don't fall within the 'Hollywood perfect body' mould, yet they still look after themselves and fall within the healthy BMI or Waist-to-Height Ratio indexes.
How to get it? The goal is balance and control rather than perfection. Exercise, booze, and healthy/cheeky food all come in moderation. Gain a few, then lose a few – just stay within a healthy weight range.
Who's got it? George Clooney, Matt Damon, Keanu Reeves, Kate Winslet, Christina Hendricks, and Helen Mirren.
Fairfax's more cerebral naysayers will cringe at the vanity of this blog, but to have an ideal in any endeavour or industry -from the arts, banking, trades, and/or architectural - all the way down to the gym, is a good thing. When an individual is motivated by an ideal, it can turn into the fuel that provides dedication and inspiration.
Vain? Maybe, but a healthy mind with a little neck-down-vanity might be a good thing.
Further, we all have preferences when it comes to the type of body that turns us on in the bedroom. From chubby chasers to lovers of the tanned-plastic-fantastic, something turns us all on. So why not have a friendly discussion about such things? There are different strokes for different folks, and that's what makes our wants (and life) unique - and damn cool.
For me? A Brad Pitt Fight Club-style body is preferred. Lean, agile, perfect posture, and a reasonably strong physique is what I seek - healthy and fit - with dedication required. And in a woman, I'd get my hands on Jessica Biel (paired with Alba if she'd like to join) on any day that ends in a y.
If you could have a Hollywood body, which one would it be? And what do you prefer in your partner?

TIME's Bobby Ghosh sat down for an interview with soccer great Lionel Messi. Off the field, Messi lives a quiet life, with his father in a Barcelona suburb. Here, the naturally reserved Messi offers some insights into his sport and life.
You have a low-key lifestyle. Why is that?
I've always been this way, ever since I was young. I've always really just liked football, and I've always devoted a lot of time to it. When I was a kid, my friends would call me to go out with them, but I would stay home because I had practice the next day. I like going out, but you have to know when you can and when you can't. That's why I say nothing's changed since I was young. My friends would go out and I'd stay home. But not for nothing, because I knew it had to be that way, and at that moment, I was dedicated to football.
What were your first experiences at Barcelona's famous La Masía training school like?
It helped me a lot because I came [from Argentina] alone, and I was with all the guys in the Masía, I was one of them. We were all from someplace else, and we helped each other. The truth is that there were a lot of happy moments because we were there together for a lot of time, and the relationships between all of us got stronger and stronger. Lots of happy times.
When Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo scores in a game, do you feel pressure to do likewise?
No. I care about how Madrid's doing because they're competing against us, and they're in our League, and because almost every year, we compete for the title. But against Ronaldo, no.
You seem to be very competitive, how do you feel when you lose?
I am competitive and I feel bad when we lose. You can see it in me when we've lost. I'm in a bad way. I don't like to talk to anyone. I just retreat into myself and go over the game in my head: the things that went wrong, what I did wrong, why we didn't win.
How long do you brood?
Until the next game. Luckily we play a lot, so it happens quickly.
Does playing for Argentina in the World Cup bring a different kind of pressure?
No, we feel pressure with every match: not just me, but anyone who's on a national team. What I can say that I learned [in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa] is that the most important thing is that the team be strong, that they be united. That's what's important in a tournament that is so short.
How did you feel when fellow Argentines criticized you for your performances with the national team in the last World Cup?
Yes, yes, it hurt; it bothered me. Because they said things that weren't true—that I didn't care as much about wearing the [Argentine] shirt. I didn't feel that, I didn't think that. And now, I think what people there understand that this is a team game, and that I try to play the same way there as I do in Barcelona, and always do the best I can.
Your countrymen are finally warming to you. Why do you think that is?
You see it in the affection that people there have, for what they say on television. Before, there was a lot of criticism and everything was bad. And now it's not like that. That's good, because every country I go to, people have always received me very well, and in my own country that wasn't happening.
What do you think of the reception you get from fans around the world?
Incredible. It's happened in a lot of countries I've visited, but it's still surprising. I never imagined that so far from Spain or Argentina, people would have this affection for me. It makes me very happy.

In response to a threat at schools, the solution is... More guns at the schools. In the hands of responsible adults like police and teachers, this really is the best way to keep our kids safe at school every day.

i'm starting my second year with 1 hive. i always use smoke and war a veil, but no gloves and short sleave shirt. my bees have been very gentle, but i don't want to take a chance and get stung in the face and end up dropping a frame and really pissing them off. the only stings i got last year were my own fault when i actually pinched them when removing frames.

I went out on a nice day this year and didn't see any activity with this one hive. Thought must me a dead out. I lifted the lid a little to look inside and out they came. Got one between the eyes and three on the neck. I can laugh about it now but it takes me about four days for swelling to come down. I keep telling myself that you don't go out without veil and smoke. Yep I was right again this year just didn't have it with me at time. I think I will just wait until I have my equipment next time before looking. LOL
Uncle Bee
Lesson learned, unclebee.
I like to err on the side of caution. I've never really understood the reasoning behind ... start working the hives without protection, and if they get too aggressive, go get the veil. It seems to me at that point it's too late, your face is already stung up. If I were one who enjoyed working them without a veil I would go at it in the opposite manner. Start working them first with the veil, and if they were in a very good mood that day, then take the veil off. To each his own I guess.
To everything there is a season....
My bees are quiet but you get maybe one time in 50 when for no apparent reason a colony reacts really badly to being opened. Working routinely without a veil is daft although you could get away with it on a good day.
Working without gloves is fine as the worst that can happen is a sting or two on the fingers.
Stings around the eyes are not worth the risk.
I was checking some hive for purchase the other day. My normal routine is normally to remove the outer cover and smoke a little and then put on my veil. In any case it had gotten a bit cool so I figured I would put my hood on to keep me a bit warm. First hive I went to I popped the outer cover and about 30 bees flew right into my veil. I'm not saying that they would have stung me, but these were hungry (stressed) bees on a cool breezy day. I think I'm going to change my routine from this point forward and start with the veil on. I can only see out of one eye as it is.
When I have them I will use Nitrile gloves instead of my regular gloves. You get great feel, so you are less likely to crush bees. They can sting you through the nitrile, but I loose the freak out response that I get at times with no gloves.
For most of my hives, I don't use smoke until we get past the main flow. I use smoke on every hive once we hit the hot summer.
I went through 19 hives (some were overwintered Nucs) this last weekend and didn't light the smoker. A couple of hives did get a bit cranky, but I wear gloves and veil and wasn't stung. When I say 'went through', I mean a full inspection to the bottom board, cleaning the bottom board and putting it back together.
I don't know if anyone has actually tried to test whether it sets them back or not, but we have a saying on my family farm about things that 'don't help 'em any' that I apply to honey bees. It's hard for me to imagine that it helps them build up to get a lot of smoke, but easy for me to imagine that it sets them back at least a bit.
Plus, with my bees at least, smoke can make them act a bit squirrelly. Some of my hives start running all over the comb and make it difficult to do a quick, effective inspection (for me.)
That said, I recommend all new beekeepers to use smoke. Do any and everythign you can to be comfortable looking in your hive.
I can say with confidence that my hives are calm and behaved, usually. But I have also found that you cannot predict how the bees are going to react, no matter how good of a bee whisperer you think you are. I dont have that much experience keeping bees, so one could easily say that my opinions dont matter. I do have a lot left to learn; however, it only takes a season or two to learn that the bees cant always be trusted. It doesnt take a genius to figure that one out.
Also, my day-job is in an office environment. Besides being laughed at by my cube mates, I dont think I could perform my job with my eyes swelled shut. The last time I had a bad reaction, my lower arm swelled up so bad that I couldnt get it through the sleeve of my dress shirt. I didnt like having to explain to my boss why I had to break the dress code that week. He laughed and understood (one of my best customers), but I dont relish the idea of having to do it again. Oh and before anyone suggests that I should take more stings to desensitize myself to the effects of venom, the second thing that I found out about beekeeping is how variable my reaction to stings are. Most of the time its no big deal but other times it is not OK.
Honey Badger Don't Care ಠ_ಠ ~=[,,_,,]:3
jloftin60, using smoke (sparingly, not a smoke out) may or may not set them back, but they will eventually be back (usually in short order) to doing what they are programed to do. In my experience, it is much better to have a lit smoker ready to go, than wishing I had a lit smoker ready, and then having to stop operations to light one.

haha, its probably more likely my smell overpowers them.Aerindel, is it because your body smell is scentless/invisible or is it your body?
In my short bee-experience, I find that bees needs to be trained for smoke. When I got my bees (feral/survivor) they overreact on smoke. They hated smoke and smoker - they've attacked the smoker! They also hated pine-needles. I change to pepper-tree leafs. So, my limited experience is that smoke is sort of signal to bees - to prepare for invasion. And they learned - first, they recognize inspection as an attack on their motherland, thus, they react aggressively. But with time, they learned that smoke basically does not mean motherland complete destruction... it is not pleasant, but if they will behave well, this "torture" will be over sooner...
I think, beekeeper's technique is very critical. "Improper" operation will make even very gentle bees crazy. It is also believed that the smoke blocks bees alarm pheromone - thus, with smoke, it is less likely to have a full-scale bee-attack when you damage a few bees.
The state of mood and other physical conditions of the beekeeper is also important. I think, bees sense your nervousness (probably smell of sweat etc). Protective gear makes some people more confident, less nervous. Bees never touch my wife (good!). If we sit together on the desk having tea and it's time for bee to show who is in charge (they are 20' from the deck) - she will always choose me! We have a friend - they choose her every time, she is visiting. They (bees) are not interested (thanks God) in the rest of my friends. Somebody, oldtimer or Jim Jyon perhaps, says that bees feel smell of fear.
Серёжа, Sergey
I'd use smoke every time---I think it's more disruptive to get the hive 'angry' by not smoking them. Always smoke them before you try to open --otherwise it will be almost impossible to calm them down with smoke once they get 'snotty'
I have never used smoke, but it's because of the extreme fire danger around here. I'm fully suited up each and every time.
> Are there bees out there that gentle?
On some days...
>Even with a touch of smoke, my girls can be grouchy.
Some of that may be genetics. Some of that may be how graceful and smooth you are or aren't...
The problem with working without a veil is the day you learn you should have, you may get 60 stings to the face before you can react. I have stepped in a gopher hole and fallen dropping an entire box of bees that not only hit the ground hard, but fell to pieces because it hit so hard. It took me a few minutes to get up with my sprained ankle and even longer to get the frames put in another box. But it took the bees about 2 seconds to be all over me... I'm VERY glad I was wearing a jacket with a zip on veil...

**** gophers! Saturday I got pinged right next to my eye, the only one I can see out of before I even got started to do anything. I was probably 10 feet away from a hive. Hungry girls are a little fussy!

text: I checked one of my hive yesterday and both of the brood boxes where full of cupped and uncapped brood. In the lower box on the two frames I discovered a queen cell, one on each. They where almost ready to been cupped. I took them out and placed them along with another brood frame in the nuc box. My question is: do I save both of the queen cells or I knock one of them down?

Very nice contact. The flat has the perfect location in that part of the city i like most. The equipment of the flat was absolutely enough for us. We found everything we needed. Thank you very much for a perfect stay.
the bedroom facing the street are noisy, the back no direct sunlight.
Well is close to the metro station!
We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. Manuel was friendly up on arrival. The apt is well situated, we walked every where. The bus or metro are also close by.
The air-conditioning was not working and wash machine was leaking during a wash so we dimentionned it to Manuel hopefully will be taking care of
Super dejlig stor og lys lejlighed. Fantastisk udsigt. Vi nød opholdet og den gode service fra Manuel.
Super nice big and bright apartment. Great view. We enjoyed the stay and the good service from Manuel.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Host: Manuel is great, very friendly and so helpful.
Location: Amazing!
Flat: Very nice, cosy, but the bathroom needs a bit improvement!
Overall: Satisfied and I would go back straight away! :)
Manuel came in time to hand over the door key and was very friendly and helpful. The flat was comfortable and had plenty of space for 2 persons. The location of the flat is central, just go out the door and find 4 cafés after 50 meters for breakfast and the Rambla de catalunya after 150 meters. Because of the traffic on the road it was noisy. Thank you Manuel!
Beautiful apartment, clean and located in one of the most beautiful areas of Barcelona. Manuel is a fantastic person, nice and helpful. I recommend everyone this apartment. Enjoy barcelona

Yeah, Yeah, I've Been MIA, But...
Must make it to the finish line. Side cramps are killing me. Feet are burning. Brain is about to explode.
So close... and yet, so far!
I have three scenes left to write. Three! Work is bedlam as we finish the last two weeks of school, but I can still meet my deadline of finishing Draft #1 by the last day of school if I put my head down and push through these last pages.
Throw Gatorade at me (wait, aren't I supposed to drink that?), tempt me with red wine and tiramisu at the finish--I don't care. I MUST FINISH!
And then I must celebrate before I delve into more research and edits. Any suggestions for the grand hullaballoo?

Good luck! When's the last day of school? I'm sure you'll get there :)
For celebrations? Ugh, I didn't even celebrate when I finished my first draft, I just went to bed. Lol. Maybe go out for a nice dinner and drink lots of wine?

Sari- We get out May 20th and I leave for California the next day so I have to finish! And I definitely like the dinner and wine idea!

I'm hoping to have my current first draft done by the time I leave for the US, but it's starting to look unlikely. I live in hope!

Yay, Stephanie! You are almost there. You have almost completed the draft. You will finish it before the last day of school. You can do it!
And then celebrate with red wine and tiramisu and a night off from anything writing-related. Maybe a special date night?
Good luck!

Woohoo! Keep it up!
Suggestions? Get a massage. Writing is such tense work, then combining it with end-of-the-school-year stress? Yikes. What's better than a shoulder rub-down while one is celebrating victory? Aaaahhh...

Maria Collins, the widow of Erebus crash pilot Jim Collins, says she had to do an about-turn on Sir Paul Holmes.
Air New Zealand pilot Mr Collins was blamed for flying his DC10 into Mt Erebus in Antarctica in 1979, killing all 257 on board.
Sir Paul first contacted Mrs Collins three years ago because he wanted to write a book about the disaster. Initially she wasn't keen, fearing it might not be accurate or that it would be full of sentimentality.
In the end, she was pleased with Daughters of Erebus, which was published in 2011. Sir Paul regarded it as one of his greatest achievements.
Mrs Collins remembered how she met Sir Paul years ago when holidaying north of Auckland.
"In the late 80s he was in a little holiday flat, we were in one flat and he occupied the other one for two or three days.
"I saw this little man coming in with a pile of books and as he sat in the armchair I think the pile beside him was as tall as he was.
"My then teenage children hissed at me, this is the new guy who's coming to Auckland."
She can't remember any of the books he was reading but thinks they asked him over for a drink and explained they had been coming to the same place for many years and if he needed to know when the rubbish was collected she could tell him.
She is sure he knew who they were but he never mentioned it. The next encounter she remembers is after the 30th anniversary of the disaster in 2009 when he wrote something in his Herald column which Mrs Collins says wasn't quite accurate.
"I emailed him and I said 'Paul, if you're going to say this, this is how it really was, you've got to make it correct.' He emailed me back saying 'oh, well, I'm glad someone's still watching and keeping me up to the mark', or that sort of comment."
In February 2010 he emailed her again and told her he was considering writing a book about the crash.
"My heart sank at first ... I was just worried it would become populist mush and we wouldn't be portrayed the way we should be, so we made all these things clear and I think we gave him quite a hard time.
"The first draft which he showed us, after a separate interview with each of us ... was just awful."
He respected what the family said to him - but he didn't show them any more drafts.
When the book came out she was nervous but he had made the changes and she was happy.
The family got to know him a little better and he would send her chatty emails.
"Then, of course, it suddenly became very obvious [last year] things were going pear-shaped, so he wrote the book in time ...
"As I say, I've had to re-evaluate my thinking about him and the book as well ... in hindsight, with my reluctance and the finished product, we've got a book that appears to have gone down well ... and therefore it's achieved its aim."

The apartment was nice, elegant and good location. The wifi was unfortunately very slow and unreliable. Wasn't very pleased about the treatment of the host either. 2 days before the journey I got a message that we should sleep in a hotel because nobody would be there for the check-in. Apparently there were some things unclear about the agreement that we made. Kinda weird that you contact your guest 2 days in advance and immediately threaten about the stay that you already paid for.
Perfect place for a Venice stay in an interesting area directly at the campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo. Only 10 minutes walk to Rialto or Piazza S.Marco. Good direct "Vaporetto" connection to Airport, Cimitero and Murano.
The Apartment is very nice, good friendly and modern atmosphere, we felt very comfortable. The owner cares much about the guests. We can recommend Daniele's apartment very much.
Very nice appartment, clean, accomodation very good. Situated in a quiet environment. We had a pleasant stay there. Recommendable for sure.
Also the host has been very helpful where needed, good contact.
Typically about Venice is that everything is reachable by foot and mostly in an acceptable time. This made the situation of the appartment actually an ideal place to stay.
I can really recommend this apartment. All the communication with the host was quick and practical. A beautiful, clean and nice apartment placed in a central but calm area. Next door is a bakery a tobacco shop and a pleasant restaurant. A lot of good restaurants and shops nearby. No disturbing noices though. The only weak thing was the wifi. It was unstable and slow. Appearently a 3G based router, so I needed to go down to some cafe on the street to be able to do some work.
The apartment is elegant -- very special! It is well-located with a beautiful view of San Giovanni e Paulo. It is immaculate, and well maintained and cared for. Given this, it is very understandable that Daniele has laid out a number of rules and procedures that apartment renters must follow.
At the same time, of all the apartments we rented in Italy over the course of a month, this experience with Daniele felt like it was "all business" and the least personal experience we had. We'll give two examples to illustrate our point: First, our cell phone was not working in Italy, so we were very dependent on the internet in the apartments we rented. All of the other apartments had functioning wifi internet connections that were password secured and reasonably fast. However, in Daniele's apartment the internet was not only unreliable and painfully slow, it was not secured with a password. When we met with him to get the key and give him our deposit, we expressed our concern, but his only response was that "the wifi is free." Second, from the rules and "potential fines" that Daniele lays out for the renter, he makes it clear that if you need to contact him because of any problem, there will probably be a fee assessed. At none of the other apartments did we feel this kind of impersonal disconnect even though we never needed to contact any of the others after our initial meeting.
Our stay at Daniele's appartement was really fantastic.
He is a great host and very patient. The appartement is usefull
and functional with anything you need. Laid in a quiet part of Venice it is
surrounded by everything. Two Vaporetto Stations easy to reach, restaurants and Cafés in a distance of a minute, a newsstand a few footsteps off and a bakery
next door. To Rialto in a few minutes and San Marco in not more than ten.
We really enjoyed our stay.
Great apartment in interesting, quiet yet central location. Well equipped, comfortable and clean. Location means you have cafes, restaurants and bakers on your doorstep but are just that bit away from the main drag so it has more of a neighbourhood feel about it. Owner welcoming and pointed out good places to eat nearby. We particularly enjoyed Osteria da Alberto just 3 minutes walk from the apartment.
Veldig sentral leilighet, litt utenfor de store turistmassene. Dagligvare i nærheten, bakeri i nabohuset, og mange restauranter i umiddelbar nærhet.
Leiligheten fungerte perfekt til vårt bruk. Hyggelig vertskap som holdt avtaler og var presise.

As I'm writing this post, I pretty much don't have to worry about doing a word count — or more accurately a character count. That's because I'm writing it using a soon-to-be released Das Keyboard Model S Professional for Mac and my wife can hear every single key I hit.
Like most Mac users (of a certain age), I haven't used a keyboard with mechanical switches in probably 20 years, at least since my Apple Extended Keyboard was retired. And for the past five years, pretty much every keyboard in the house has been the chiclet style that showed up on MacBooks, then shipped with Mac desktop systems. I have no complaints about those keyboards, mind you. I find them easy to work on, quiet and the fact that I can switch between multiple desktop systems and a trio of laptops without the keyboard changing appreciably has meant no ramp up time when moving between computers.
But I do have a soft spot for old-school, mechanical things. The wall-mounted rotary phone hooked up to a land line in my office is probably a dead giveaway there. So when I was offered the chance to try out a new Das Keyboard for Mac, featuring honest to goodness mechanical switches, I had to give it a try.

Downtown Columbia Panera to close Tuesday
St. Louis-based Panera will still have 3 Columbia locations
COLUMBIA, Mo. - A longtime downtown Columbia restaurant will close its doors for good Tuesday night.
Panera Bread officials say Tuesday is the last day the Ninth Street location will be in business.
The St. Louis-based company opened a fourth location with a drive-thru near Highway 63 and Broadway last year.
Panera says with the opening of that location and the expiration of its lease in the former Hall Theater, they decided to close the downtown eatery.
The restaurant will still have three locations in Columbia: at Highway 63 and Broadway, South Providence Road, and in the Columbia Mall.

Reviews of this property
Our trip to Paris was really great. The apartment of Paul was really a great deal. He was always friendly. The little problem with the Internet was fixed just the next day after our arrival.
The flat was really small but there was everything you needed. Just if you're too big you'll get trouble with showering and going to the toilet.
But the best is that you're in the middle of Paris. A few minutes of walking and you're at notre dame.
Great location in Quartier Latin! Close to many restaurants and metro. The apartment is very cosy, everything you need is there. Paul's friend Vanessa welcomed us when we arrived, and gave us all the information we needed, even a nice bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Paul responded instantly on any questions we had during the visit. We had a great weekend in Paris and felt right at home like locals. Thanks for everything! We recommend this apartment to everyone! :)
This is our first visit to Paris and it went accordingly to our plan. Paul give us detailed communication on how to find the place and his friend Vanessa was there to meet us and explain on how to go about inside the studio. The studio itself is a just a few steps from the metro station. The studio is on the 6th floor and there is no lift but at least we are on the very center of Paris. Attractions are walkable and loads of restaurants to eat. There is supermarket nearby (Franpix) so it's handy if you want to prepare your own food, The bathrrom is quite small but it does the job anyway. Paul and his friends are very kind. They had a bottle of wine for us when we arrived. We would love to stay in Paul\s studio if we got a chance to come back to Paris.
Very lovley appartment at the heart of Paris, just a few steps away from Notre Dame and many other places you have to see on your visit. Paul and his friends are very kind and friendly and will help you with everything you ask for. We had a friend of Paul waiting in front of the door letting us in and explaining everything on the appartment to us. Fresh sheet and linnen were provided and there were towls in the bathroom. Paul was there to check out and a made sure that everything was fine on us. Everything was going perfectly and we can say that we do highly recommend the apartment and paul as host. Cheers Svenja & Jan
Generally, it was a great stay in Paris at Paul's place. There were some minor issues we faced in the beginning (the check-in was delayed by an hour due to an car accident by the person responsible for handing us over the key - not Paul) and some stuff we had to get used to (the shower is pretty small so that you have to get used to it as a taller person and the toilet in the room was broken so that we had to use a toilet one floor below our's).
The room is cosy and perfectly sufficient for a few days of sightseeing in Paris. There is a microwave, a water boiler, a coffee machine, cups, glasses and even pots and plates that allow you to cook in the small kitchen if you want to.
What we really really loved about the room is the location. It's simply perfect!! You live 50 meters away form Notre Dame and a lot of other sights are in walking distance. And in case you do not want to walk, there is a metro station a few steps away. Also the room itself is in a very lively street with a lot of restaurants and cafes (we never had problems finding sth to eat for a moderate price).
Basically, you step out of the door and are (as the name says) in the heart of Paris.
Paul himself was a great host. There was a Bottle of wine and some crackers in the room for us and when the "check-in" situation occurred we just had to give him a call and he did his best to resolve the issue asap so that we only had to wait an hour.
Thank you!!
The studio is a small, cheap and cozy apartment in the heart of Quartier Latin. It has been easy to have contact with Paul. Thank you!
Our stay in Paris was much better that we could imagine. The apartment is located in the heart of Paris, in a lively pedasteian street. Paul was so kind with us and explain us lots of things for making our stay more confortable. The apartment was provided with everything we needed. Moreover we would like to point out the cleanliness of the apartment because for us this issue was very important. In general we are very satisfied with our experience in this apartment.
We really enjoyed our trip to Paris. The studio was perfect and all the things Paul mentioned was correct. It is a very cozy and small apartment. Yes, there are a lot a steps to the six floor, but the apartment had everything we needed and the location was wonderful. Paul was very polite and helpful. He gave us maps of the city and there even was a bottle of wine for us at the room.
The apartment is small, clean and cozy. The location right in the center at Notre Dame is just perfect and the landlord reliable and useful information about our Paris visit very helpful. For another visit I would come back over here.
Das Appartement ist klein, sauber und gemütlich. Die Lage direkt im Zentrum bei Notre Dame ist einfach perfekt und der Vermieter zuverlässig und mit nützlichen Informationen rund um unseren Parisbesuch sehr hilfsbereit. Für einen weiteren Besuch käme ich wieder hier her.

Doh! Ireland West I meant!
'Treeleaf' across front on white
'Treeleaf' across front on black
'Treeleaf' on corner on white
'Treeleaf' on corner on black
'All life is our temple' design on black
Yes "All of life is our temple" is the proper motto of this place, though that includes all life too.
Hmmm, I am pretty good with Koans, which sometimes have more than one answer. So, would the solution be to have more than one t-shirt?
Anyway, what is the Buddha T-shirt one can never take off or put on ... never gets dirty, yet must always be kept clean?
Gassho, J
Actually, I don't understand why we've changed the graceful simplicity of "Life is our Temple." Imagine if Douglas Adams's book was suddenly called "All of Life, the Universe, and Everything." Pretty unnecessary, no?
Looks like the 'slogan' design was the winner. I am still shocked we had a three-way tie for second.
I'll ask Kyonin to fix the slogan before we post the final 'print ready' version.
I'm sure to hear many opinions for opening this question up, but grey or black?
Grey with green logo.
Drinking tea and eating rice.
I'm with Gary, grey with a green logo (Life is Our Temple) sounds perfect!
dittoGrey with green logo.
仁道 生開 - Jindo Shokai "Open to life in a benevolent way"
Remember; sages love mountains and mountains love sages.
By the way, I am thinking to make this our new Treeleaf symbol, and maybe we can put this on our shirts:
The one on the left even has that hand salute to go with it.
Yes, we should combine all these perhaps ... a Swastika surrounded by the slogans "come to our teaparty" "Zen monks are skinheads" and "unbirth begins at conception". **
Gassho, J
PS - For those unfamiliar with The Swastika Symbol in Buddhism ...
PPS ** Not implying that "Pro Life" and "Teaparty" folks are to be associated with those other folks ... just making a funny.

Too late to vote in the poll, but I like 1 best, though green on gray sounds even better.
Hi everyone,
And a winner there is! (The one I like the least, as it happens ... good training here for me! )
So, looks like Kyonin is going to tweak the motto wording and do up a green on gray version ... right?
Then it's pricing the shirt. After that we'll have to:
1: Decide on the percentage for charity and add that to the cost.
2: Decide the charity.
3: Take orders.
4: Take payments (including shipping costs), order and print.
5: Then Chris will ship in N. America and I'll ship in Europe.
6: Make a payment to charity to close the circle for this year on this.
Maybe we could start again in 2013 or 2014 with four whole new designs and another charity.
Sound about right?

Sounds about right. ;-)

I think maybe the charity should be something environmental. since treeleaf is is actually a tree leaf... i think it would be fitting.
also i think not enough is being done to save our planet so it might be a good idea.
Gassho, Dojin.
I gained nothing at all from supreme enlightenment, and for that very reason it is called supreme enlightenment

I'd go along with Dojin on the charity and'
While considering #s 3 and 4 could we throw Paypal into the mix.
仁道 生開 - Jindo Shokai "Open to life in a benevolent way"
Remember; sages love mountains and mountains love sages.
Um, is there going to be a short time limit on ordering and paying, may I ask? I'm really on a tight budget right now, but don't want to miss out, either. I second Shokai's request for PayPal as well, or email money transfer would work even better, as I wouldn't have to do 3 transfers, and pay the added costs for that.
While I can't say with certainty, I would guess that we'd employ Paypal for the shirt transactions. As for the length of the offering, it will likely be brief. No one at this point has decided how long to keep the order open.
I received my inkin bell in a yellow bag COVERED in swastikas and my wife was like Ummm your cult went from boring to scary very fast... I had to admit I was a bit set back too but I did know the symbol was common in Buddhism...I have also seen quilts with the same symbol as its main pattern...
Sorry OT I know :S
On the T-shirt topic im glad a design was mostly agreed upon
I like white shirts. Even ordered some for the band once, thinking "everyone make's black shirts". I found out that there is a reason for that.
My ego is really attached to the buttons and mouse pads, and who's self identity doesn't want a coffee cup with the words "Half Full Cup of Emptiness" written on it? But at last, removing thoughts of "I" (except for the shirt my "I" really wants a shirt!) perhaps Myozan & Jundo are right. Again.
(Not about baseball of course....)
On the subject of charities, we might look inside the Dharma network of engaged Buddhism to find a cause we can support. The Tzu Chi Foundation is probably the largest Buddhist charity group. There's also Buddhist Global Relief which focuses on making sure we are all fed. Or the young Monk I mentioned from my recent retreat who has established schools in Nepal, primarily for young mothers. (when I say young I mean between 15 and 18 years of age, typically) I know you can donate directly to his cause through Canadian Engaged Buddhists. According to him $700.00 U.S. dollars will pay a years salary for one teacher and furnish a classroom. I'm sure there are countless other's, but I thought I'd throw these out there to get the discussion going.
Here's a pretty solid list outside of the ones mentioned above.
If I may drop in a preference ...
I would not mind if the money went to a general, respected A+ charity that helps people in need, is not particularly religiously or politically connected, and international to respect all our many cultures.
Might I suggest something like DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS/Médecins Sans Frontières?
You can see directly where they put their efforts.
Very highly rated for such factors as financial responsibility (that they don't overuse donations for administrative or fundraising costs, salaries etc.) and other factors ... and few charities can claim that, unfortunately ...
Gassho, Jundo
Hi Jundo,
I am a big fan of MSF. But shouldn't we have a shortlist of good charities and run a poll on this too? What do you think?
Hi Myozan,
Yes, this is fine, but when it comes to something as sensitive as where money connected to Treeleaf (even though technically not directly) will be going, I would like Taigu and me to have some small bit of "veto power" over the "short list" before it is put up for a vote. Generally, it should not be particularly religiously or politically connected, and should be international to reflect the diversity of this group. I would also like to keep the focus on A or A+ rated (for financial responsibility, efficient use of funds, low overhead and fundraising costs etc.) charities.
I hope you understand the reasons for that bit of financial oversight.
Gassho, J

greenpeace would probably be a good bet too but it seems they became too political lately and definitely try to lobby for some political causes quite extensively.

Hi Jundo,
I agree with what you say. I also would vote for MSF.
Maybe people could PM suggestions to me and I could run them by you before Chris puts up a poll on it? If we settled, say, on a short list of three or four.
The poll would give people a say in where the money goes, while vetting the list would ensure only legitimate and well managed organisation could win.
Is this the way to go?

Authorities arrested a 43-year-old Sulphur man who allegedly fired two rounds from his vehicle Sunday night in Carlyss.
David Lee Butts, 6602 Oak Lake Drive, has been charged with aggravated assault with a firearm.
After a shouting match with another man, Butts got in his vehicle and allegedly fired two rounds "at no one in particular," said Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Myers.
Myers said Butts then drove a ways down the road, got out of his vehicle and went into the woods.
Butts was arrested around 8 p.m., Myers said
Numerous Facebook readers who are also Carlyss residents said they received a call from the Sheriff's Office warning about an armed 42- to 43-year-old white male wearing a T-shirt and jeans. The readers said they were warned to not approach and call 911 as the man was considered armed and dangerous.

Well my drunken rage from last night is in the past. No more drunken texts to Matt.

BUT, the Yankees are a disgrace. I was watching the games with a Yankee fan and he was embarrassed for not bringing in Mo in the 9th.

The Sox blew the game without a doubt. And we probably would have gotten beat today, but the Yanks have disgraced themselves and all of baseball.

The Phillies played it straight for 13 innings. And for the entire series with Atlanta. Just like the Giants did in 07 against the Pats. And we applauded our team for doing that.

You can spin it anyway you want, but your team is bush.

[/quote]yea bring mo in and risk an injury 2 days before the playoffs. youre still in a drunken rage
When was the last time Mo got hurt by throwing one inning? You are rationalizing. This was an important game to the league. We were all proud of our team in 07 when they played hard against the Pats. The Giants are a class organization and understand the importance to the league of that game. How did that turn out?

You know you are embarrasssed Dez. Just admit it and move forward. My team may have collapsed but they played hard. And no matter what you say about this collapse, the greatest collapse in baseball history was the 04 Yankees. Nothing will change that.
[/quote]
this may be one of the worst arguments u've ever made
lets see... throw mo for a meaningless game or not...? HMMM

Future by Airbus
Looking ahead
Through innovation, and out-of-the-box thinking, Airbus will continue to meet its eco-efficiency goals, and ensure that air travel continues to be one of the safest, and most eco-efficient, means of transportation.
As the air transport sector continues to grow, Airbus believes that the industry as a whole must concentrate on technological advances, while also advancing solutions that will meet passenger and market demands, the growing population and its demographic profile, and respect all aspects of the environment.
After celebrating its own four decades of innovation, Airbus now is looking to the next 40-plus years – actively working with other industry stakeholders and experts to anticipate the global needs of a better-connected and more sustainable world.
However, it all begins with one question: "what will air transport look like in the year 2050?" In its report "The Future by Airbus," Airbus hypothesises how the industry, aircraft and passengers might change by that time – while highlighting potential steps to meet the needs of tomorrow.
Smarter skies
Airbus unveils its 2050 vision for 'Smarter Skies'
More flights, fewer emissions and quicker passenger journey times. Welcome to Smarter Skies, the latest instalment in The Future by Airbus. For the first time, our vision of sustainable aviation in 2050 looks beyond aircraft design to how the aircraft is operated both on the ground and in the air in order to meet the expected growth in air travel in a sustainable way.
Already today, if the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system and technology on board aircraft were optimised (assuming around 30 million flights per year), Airbus research suggests that every flight in the world could on average be around 13 minutes shorter. This would save around 9 million tonnes of excess fuel annually, which equates to over 28 million tonnes of avoidable CO2 emissions and a saving for passengers of over 500 million hours of excess flight time on board an aircraft. Add to this new aircraft design, alternative energy sources and new ways of flying and you could see even more significant improvements.
The Future by Airbus concentrates on just that and the Smarter Skies vision consists of five concepts which could be implemented across all the stages of an aircraft's operation to reduce waste in the system (waste in time, waste in fuel, reduction of CO2.
Discover the five 'smarter skies' innovations
Anticipating needs
Since launching this report in 2010, Airbus has embarked on a two-year global consultation with more than 1.75 million people through airshows, events and online, as part of the Future by Airbus programme – our vision of sustainable aviation in 2050.
In 2010 we asked 10,000 people around the globe, who will be passengers in 2050, what they will want from air travel. Their answer was clear: cheaper, greener and more fun!
In 2012, another 10,000 have told us what they want from the future of flight: more sustainable; less stressful; and more of it, despite social media revolutionising how we keep in touch.
• 63% of people worldwide say they will fly more by 2050
• 60% do not think social media will replace the need to see people face-to-face
• 96% believe aircraft will need to be more sustainable or 'eco-efficient'
• Almost 40% feel air travel (door-to-door) is increasingly stressful
• 86% of people think less fuel burn is key and 85% a reduction in carbon emissions
• 66% want quieter aircraft and 65% planes which are fully recyclable
Future solutions
Even a few decades from now, the world will be very different from today. Our lives and travel needs will have changed and, because the global population will increase to over 9 billion, looking after the planet will be even more important than ever.
So what will this world look like? How will we get around? And how will we take care of the environment?
Take a peek at The Future by Airbus…
Future talent
The world will be very different in many ways by 2050, but one thing will not change. We will still need great people to make it even better!
Airbus knows that it will take the very best talent from around the world if we are going to help more people have access to the benefits of air travel and still look after the environment. But even once we've found the right combination of people, we need to make sure that we can support them by providing the best training and facilities. But what will that look like by 2050 - when the schoolchildren of today will be creating the next generation of air transport?
Fly Your Ideas
People from every background can help shape the future by working in the aerospace industry. The Airbus Fly Your Ideas challenge brings together students from all disciplines and from all around the world to tell us what they would do to make the aviation industry more sustainable.
Launched in 2008, the competition runs every two years and gives students the opportunity to participate in the latest innovative thinking. The winning team receives a prize of €30,000, the runners-up get €15,000 and in 2017, the finalists will work with Airbus at the Protospace.

Did you know?
"We surveyed over 10,000 people around the world who will be passengers in 2050 to ask what they want from the aviation industry in the future.
Their message was clear – we need to help as many people as possible share in the benefits that air transport brings, but we need to achieve this while looking after the environment."

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Its so cold here...its hard to get modivated...I have all my blocks cut and started to sew them together the other day...I would like to get the top completed today...I need a push..
Cold here today also so am washing, ironing and perhaps starching materials for a quilting class in November. Will work on an applique one. Sure hope you finish your quilt top. I don't hand quilt much any more as my fingers hurt too much so I usually send them out for quilting.
Yes it is that cutting cold. First day I drank coffe to help warm up. Then I couldn't sleep that night. SO yesterday I drank hot water with lemon. I slept last night.
Cool and breezy here.
I'll be doing laundry, cleaning and quilting. Just had a customer leave so have another one of her quilts to longarm plus a baby quilt to longarm. Busy, busy, busy.
I am still waiting for my kids to wake up but I am supposed to go garage saling with my 13 yr and 22 yr old son and afterwards we are shopping for food for the week. I hope to do some quilting this afternoon and tonight but I am super tired so I might need to get a nap in there some where too. It is a nice warma nd sunny day in SoCal. Sorry folks! I am still wearing flip flops and no coat.
Anna Quilts
it is suppose to get to 60's to day in North Dakota. we are going to
butcher chickens and turkeys. no quilting for a couple of days.
I have been quilting this morning, and now that This Old House is almost over, I must get my hiney in gear and do some work. I have a lot of school work to do - that'll happen tomorrow while i'm watching football.
my name is becca and i'm a quilt-a-holic :-)
Cool and clear here. Dh just went to run some errands. Just have to call my mom and tell her we are coming up tomorrow to cut tree she wants cut down.
Just layed out D9P blocks and organized those. I am going in and cutting some squares for 2 Fabric Frenzy quilts, maybe even three if I have enought sewn. One in all blues, one in blue/green and purple and one in florals.
Have a great sewing day eveyone.
I will be quilting later today. I want to cut the grass "one more time" and then tuck the mower away for the winter. YIPEE!!!! More quilting time in the winter!
Just received a call from someone who'll be dropping off a quilt to be quilted A.S.A.P. It's one of 90 that need to be FINISHED by November 30. On December 1, the 90 quilts will be presented by the local chapter of Quilts of Valor to a local military unit that's returned home from deployment.
Hopefully we can get/make/finish the 90 quilts.
So after the grass cutting...I WILL BE QUILTING TODAY!!!!
Nan - Indiana
My GOAL is to ALWAYS ENJOY EVERY STEP of the quilting process....
Was planning to mow the grass but too windy for that. i end up eating grass. Yuk! So, I will be doing some sewing/quilting. Grandkids are coming to visit in two weeks and I want to finish their quilts. They would have been for Christmas but this is better because I will get to see them open them up and snuggle.
'Course, I have to get off this computer first!
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind, but now I see. [John Newton (1725-1807)]

Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
Anyone running this combo? Looking for info on throwing CEL, Drone and sound quality. Had this on my 05 and it sounded great. Also, don't want to void warranty so wondering if you have to tune if installed. Also, any info on the stealth tune would be great. I have looked and looked but don't find what I am looking for.
Thanks, Jeff

Re: Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
Yes you need a tune. Kooks and corsa sport would be the loudest thing you have ever herd.
I have Kooks with cats and Corsa touring its so loud!
Re: Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
Well that answered that question. LOL. I don't want to make this thing a beast like my 05 (B&B Headers and Catback) Things have changed, corsa was the milder one on those cars. Just when I got the corsa installed on my '10, I looked at the factory exhaust and it made my stomach hurt & I can't locate a system to change the catback to the corsa axle back. Actually, as much as the corsa cost it should have been a catback... Factory exhaust had crimps and bends and more crimps, and I didn't even see why they were smashing the pipes like that! Seemed to have plenty of room for mendral bends.
Re: Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
Are you referring to the corsa sport or touring?

Re: Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
Why is the tune needed? Is it just for the CEL? For those of us that want to preserve our warranties, we should be able to live with just headers + stock/catback exhaust and leave the ECU as is.
I've done this on my 2009 Silverado and my 2003 Z06. Both used Dynatech long tube headers with a GHL catback on the vette and Corsa Touring on the Silverado. They were both throwing CEL's but I simply cleared them on the Vette with the built in diagnostic mode and flat out ignored it on my truck most of the time. I realize that running with no tune will not maximize gains, but if someone is looking for a slight improvement in breathing and power, the headers themselves will not cause any issues with the warranty. In the case of the truck, it does cause issues with the remote start as the truck will not start if it has a CEL but this only caused a problem in the winter. I drove the truck for nearly a year like that before I had it tuned.
My Chevy dealership had no issues with my Silverado warranty and would even clear the CEL when I would bring it in for service and simply write in the service summary that the truck had a CEL due to the headers.

Re: Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
I'm bringing this back from the dead....I've been trying to find out a definite answer myself. Keep seeing/hearing mixed responses. I'm curious as to what route I should go with the exhaust sound...either Kooks headers & X-Pipe to Stock Mufflers or just a Corsa Axleback Sport. I know that with the Corsas the ECU will not have to be tuned or touched whatsoever, but what about the Kooks headers option?! My dealer is cool, but he told me I could do whatever I want as long as I don't mess with the ECU in any way, shape or form. I like how they both sound, but I like the Kooks setup a TAD bit more...but if it can't be done then no biggie. Thanks in advance fellas!
I'd find another dealer. My dealer had no issues with either of my Vs being tuned. But you'll need a tune for headers. But I think Kooks to stock muffs is best...
Re: Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
I had kooks to Touring. I added supplemental resonators and it was PERFECT. Quiet as can be on cruise, hit the throttle and scare everyone around you. I LOVED it. Zero drone, unlike the B&B that preceded it.

Damn you, Tune. Every mod I want requires your presence.
Re: Kooks Headers and Corsa Sport Mufflers...
Just a heads-up, all Kooks long tube systems are now available with 'Green Cats'. The new cats are more expensive, but are guaranteed not to throw any check engine lights and don't require a tune. Feel free to call us if you have any questions, 443-730-9428www.marylandspeed.com Phone: 443-730-9428

Well, Mike...... I liked your "everything has its season".
I hope to include that thought with the CCD..........as cycles come and then go, in the season, as they have all these years. Let nature take it course and I hope that is what is happening here and we are just trying to control it. ????
Who knows, but I hope. Just like all the other bugs have problems and if we stop interfering....?
Ahhhh, yes.......... Let me think on the lighter side of things please.

One injured in Pine River fire
One man received severe burns to his legs and was flown to the hospital from a machine shop fire in Pine River, Saturday, Aug. 16.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. According to Pine River Fire Chief Kevin Kleiner, the man was carried out of the shop by people who were near the scene at the time of the fire. Names are not being given. Air transport was requested for the patient because the nearest ambulance was in Breezy Point.
High temperatures made fighting the fire particularly exhausting. In addition to the Pine River Fire Department, the Backus, Pequot, Hackensack, and Ideal Corners Fire Departments were all called for mutual aid. With this additional help, fire fighters were able to rest when neccesary.
The fire started just before 6 p.m. and the Pine River Fire Department was finished cleaning up before 10 p.m. There were no reignitions. Kleiner said that around 5,500-6,000 gallons of water were used to extinguish the fire.
"I just want to mention we want to thank them for coming to help us. It was a very warm day. The building and the fire itself was very hot," Kleiner said. "To be able to rotate people out when they are tired and hot is pretty important. We had a lot of good help there."
The shop, owned by Jim Rice of Northern Excavating is located on a road adjacent to the Pine River-Backus School. Three skidsteers and two vehicles as well as other equipment and tools were damaged or destroyed in the fire, though the building wasn't a total loss.
