Winona Republican-Herald, The (Newspaper) - February 15, 1950, Winona, Minnesota COLDER TONIGHT, THURSDAY FAIR VOLUME 49, NO. 306 WINONA, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY NEW CATHEDRAL TO BE BUILT IN WINONA New Soviet-China Pact Aimed at U. S. By John M. Hijhtower authorities said today Soviet Russia find Red China apparently had designed their new treaty of affiance in part as a weapon for cutting the ground from under American policy toward China. That was the initial interpretation placed on the annex to the pact, announced last night. Under this, Russia promises to hand over to Communist China within two years the South Manchurian railway, which the Soviets now operate, and the port Of Dairen. Moscow also says it eventually will withdraw Soviet troops from the "jointly used naval base" of Port Arthur. American policy, as stated by Secretary of State Acheson Janu- ary 12, Is based on the hope of a conflict of interest between Rus- sia and China in North China and particularly in Manchuria. If Russia actually returns the railways, Dairen and Port Arthur the effect would be to minimize this conflict. Meanwhile, State department of- ficials are certain that both Mos- cow and the Chinese Red regime make propaganda capital o: the fact that Russia has entered into a treaty to relinquish the spe- cial rights the United States has assailed as a form of old fash- ioned Imperialism In China. Officials said the treaty as an- nounced will require considerable study before its full significance for the future course of the cold war can be adequately understood. Russ, China Sign Alliance Treaties Moscow The Soviet Union and China last night signed sweep- ing treaties which ally the world's two largest Communist countries in peace or possible war for the next 30 years. The treaties, signed In the Krem- lin after nearly two months of tensive negotiations, were said to be aimed at developing and strengthening the economic and cultural ties of the two nations, and preventing the rebirth of Jap- anese aggression. Russia agreed to lend Commu- nist China over the next five years and give up rail- road and navigation rights In Man- cHurla by 1952. Loan Considered Small (First reaction in Japan that the Russian loan was surpris- ingly small. The announced total of is only a fraction of the amount China needs to buy ma- chinery and goods to industrialize the sprawling, war-shattered na- tion.) Negotiations had been carried on by Prime Minister Joseph Stalin and Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky for the Soviet and Chinese Communist Mao Tze-tung and Premier and Foreign Minister Chou En-lal for China. Vishinsky and Chou signed the documents. A treaty of friendship, alliance and mutual aid calls for the fullest assistance by either party is the other Is attacked by Japan "or any other state which directly or In- directly would unite In any form with Japan in acts of aggression." The treaties bring to an end the 1945 Russo-Chlnese pact, signed as endmg at 12 m, today: the result of the Yalta agreement, 32; minimum, in which the Soviets were given1 a hand In control of the Manchur- ian naval base at Port Arthur, the port of Dairen and the Changchun railroad through southern Man- churia. Agreement Provisions The new Manchurian agreements are to become effective immedi- ately upon conclusion of a Jap- anese peace treaty or not later than 1952. They provide that: 1. The Soviet Union will trans- fer without compensation all its rights in the joint administration of the Changchun railway, which runs through southern Manchuria and connects with the Soviet port of Vladivostok. 2. Soviet troops will be with- drawn from the jointly operated naval base at Port Arthur. Instal- lations in the district will be turn- ed over to China, and China is to pay the Soviet Union for their res- toration and for building carried out since 1945. 3. Administration in the free port of Dairen is to be transferred from Russian management to Chinese, and nil properties now leased in the area by Russia are to be returned to China. The grant S300.000.000 in credits is for the purchase of Russian- made industrial equipment and other materials. The credits are divided into installments of yearly and are to be re- paid' in ten tnnual payments at one per cent interest, beginning in 1954. Union, Leader Blizzard Maroons 35 in Tavern Scranton, Pa. Thirty- five persons, including an eight- day-old girl, were marooned in a crossroads tavern today after mounting snow drifts forced them to abandon their auto- mobiles. Three snow plows made an unsuccessful attempt last night to battle through six-foot drifts to the Comers tavern 15 miles north of Scranton. High winds, however, kept refilling the road as fast as it could be opened. The 35 were forced to leave their cars last night and walk- to the tavern for shelter. Among them were Mr. and Mrs. Felix Cominsky, of Waymart, Pa., and their eight-day-old daughter, Phyllis. State police said they reached the tavern by telephone and were assured all those maroon- ed were safe and sound. Half-Million in U.S. Purchasing Orders Missing Knozville, F.B.I, and other law enforcement agen- cies are looking every which way for a briefcase containing up to a half-million dollars m negotiable government purchasing orders. The briefcase disappeared yes- terday after it was left in a hotel lobby by its owner, Arthur G. Huey of Minneapolis, re- gional engineer for the U. S. Fish and Wildlife service. Huey said he set the case down In the lobby and stepped Into the hotel's dining room. "When I re- turned It was he said. Two men who left the hotel shortly before the loss was discov- ered are being sought. "It might have been a Huey suggested. He added that the purchasing or- ders amounted to "a blank check signed by Uncle Sam."

LOCAL WEATHER Official observations for the 24 Hot War Seen In Arctic by Army Planners Military Leaders Seek New Types Of Warm Uniforms By Ruth Cowan Washington U. S. military planners are taking quite serious ly the possibility that if there is a "hot fighting will take place where it is bitterly cold.

One such study dealt with conditions in western Siberia. Warmth Considered Much attention, is given to howl to keep the soldier warm, the type of food he would need, as well as ways of improving equipment so as to make it more usable in the severe weather that slows down man and machine. For examples, the Army wants to spend in developing light weight, highly resilient and dur- able filling material for padded Arctic clothing. It wants to find a substitute for the warmth of down in sleeping bags. It proposes to continue research improve.-socks, mittens, shoes tor cold wet areas.

Edward A. Fitzgerald, D.D., L.L.D., bishop of Winona. Included hi the program will be a residence hall for Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary on the campus of St. Mary's college.

Announcement of the new cathe- dral Is important news for Winona. It means that this city will continue to be the seat of the diocese which it has been since the diocese was established in 1889. Property Purchased Three pieces of property on Main street, site of the new edifice, have been purchased by the diocese and will be razed to make way for the new structure. They Include the Dr. G. J.

The heaviest falls were in western Massachusetts. 11 Dead In New York New York counted 11 persons dead in accidents attributed to the storm.

More than families were eva- cuated by floodwaters of second- ary rivers. The floods, caused by seepage and backing up, engulfed more than acres of lowlands over a rough triangle from Natchez, Miss., to Alexandria, La., to a point near Baton Rouge. The lands are mostly those which are expect- ed to go under water at high river stages. The levee system was intact and above water on the Mississippi at Baton Rouge. But Army engineers said the big stream is bank full from Cairo, HI., to the gulf and more rains may produce a flood comparable to the disastrous 1927 overflow.

Recognizing the need for a new cathedral, Bishop Fitzgerald, who assumed his new duties early in January, pushed the project to com- pletion and his announcement minates plans covering several years for such a structure.

The Great Republic by the Master Historians
Religious Dissensions in New England
Bancroft, Hubert H.
[The New England colonists made vigorous efforts to establish firmly their political rights. The original charter contained no provision for the self- government or religious freedom of the people, who were left, in these particulars, at the mercy of the Company and the king. In furtherance of their democratic sentiments, the bold step was taken, in 1630, of removing the governing council from England to Massachusetts, while the provincial government took every precaution to prevent the Church of England from extending its authority over the colony.
In matters of conscience the colonists manifested from the first an autocratic tendency, and the determination that God should be worshipped in their province in only one way, and that the way of the Puritans. That thought could be confined to so narrow a channel was, however, impossible, and there began at an early date that strenuous effort to weed out what was to them heresy which forms an important part of the history of New England. To the earliest of these troubles, that connected with the name of Roger Williams, the settlement of the province of Rhode Island was due. Similar religious dissensions had their share in the settlement of the provinces of Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire. We select a description of these events from Robertson's "History of America," a favorite historical work of the last century.
We may premise by saying that Roger Williams was a young Puritan minister, of fine talents and education, who had been driven out of England by the intolerance of Archbishop Laud. On landing in Boston he found himself unable to join the church in that place, from its opposition to his views respecting religious freedom. He was subsequently called to the church in Salem, but was prevented from officiating through the opposition of Governor Winthrop. Two years afterwards he again received a pastoral call to Salem. Here his doctrine gave great offence to the colony, though he was warmly supported by the people of Salem.]
However liberal their system of civil policy might be, as their religious opinions were no longer under any restraint of authority, the spirit of fanaticism continued to spread, and became every day wilder and more extravagant. Williams, a minister of Salem, in high estimation, having conceived an antipathy to the cross of St. George in the standard of England, declaimed against it with so much vehemence as a relic of superstition and idolatry which ought not to be retained among a people so pure and sanctified, that Endicott, one of the members of the court of assistants, in a transport of zeal, publicly cut out the cross from the ensign displayed before the governor's gate. This frivolous matter interested and divided the colony. Some of the militia scrupled to follow colors in which there was a cross, lest they should do honor to an idol; others refused to serve under a mutilated banner, lest they should be suspected of having renounced their allegiance to the crown of England. After a long controversy, carried on by both parties with that heat and zeal which, in trivial disputes, supply the want of argument, the contest was terminated by a compromise. The cross was retained in the ensigns of forts and ships, but erased from the colors of the militia. Williams, on account of this, as well as of some other doctrines deemed unsound, was banished out of the colony.
[Among these obnoxious doctrines were, that it was wrong to enforce an oath of allegiance to the sovereign, or of obedience to the magistrate; that the king had no right to usurp the power of disposing of the territory of the Indians, and, more particularly, that all religious sects had the right to claim equal protection from the laws, and that the civil magistrates had no right to restrain the consciences of men, or to interfere with their modes of worship or religious beliefs. It was decided to send the heretical pastor to England, and he was ordered to repair to Boston. As he did not obey this order, a party was sent to Salem to arrest him. On reaching there they found that Williams had left the settlement, and was making his way through the forest wilderness and the cold and hardship of a New England winter in search of a locality where he might have the privilege of worshipping God in accordance with the dictates of his conscience.]
The prosperous state of New England was now so highly extolled, and the simple frame of its ecclesiastic policy was so much admired by all whose affections were estranged from the Church of England, that crowds of new settlers flocked thither (1635). Among these were two persons whose names have been rendered memorable by the appearance which they afterwards made on a more conspicuous theatre: one was Hugh Peters, the enthusiastic and intriguing chaplain of Oliver Cromwell; the other, Mr. Henry Vane, son of Sir Henry Vane, a privy councillor, high in office, and of great credit with the king: a young man of a noble family, animated with such zeal for pure religion and such love of liberty as induced him to relinquish all his hopes in England and to settle in a colony hitherto no further advanced in improvement than barely to afford subsistence to its members, was received with the fondest admiration. His mortified appearance, his demure look, and rigid manners, carried even beyond the standard of preciseness in that society which he joined, seemed to indicate a man of high spiritual attainments, while his abilities and address in business pointed him out as worthy of the highest station in the community. With universal consent, and high expectations of advantage from his administration, he was elected governor in the year subsequent to his arrival (1636). But as the affairs of an infant colony afforded not objects adequate to the talents of Vane, his busy pragmatical spirit occupied itself with theological subtleties and speculations unworthy of his attention. These were excited by a woman, whose reveries produced such effects, both within the colony and beyond its precincts, that, frivolous as they may now appear, they must be mentioned as an occurrence of importance in its history.
It was the custom at that time in New England among the chief men in every congregation to meet once a week, in order to repeat the sermons which they had heard, and to hold religious conferences with respect to the doctrine contained in them. Mrs. Hutchinson, whose husband was among the most respectable members of the colony, regretting that persons of her sex were excluded from the benefit of those meetings, assembled statedly in her house a number of women, who employed themselves in pious exercises similar to those of the men. At first she satisfied herself with repeating what she could recollect of the discourses delivered by their teachers. She began afterwards to add illustrations, and at length proceeded to censure some of the clergy as unsound, and to vent opinions and fancies of her own. These were all founded on the system which is denominated Antinomian by divines, and tinged with the deepest enthusiasm. She taught that sanctity of life is no evidence of justification, or of a state of favor with God; and that such as inculcated the necessity of manifesting the reality of our faith by obedience preached only a covenant of works: she contended that the spirit of God dwelt personally in good men, and by inward revelations and impressions they received the fullest discoveries of the divine will. The fluency and confidence with which she delivered these notions gained her many admirers and proselytes, not only among the vulgar, but among the principal inhabitants. The whole colony was interested and agitated. Vane, whose sagacity and acuteness seemed to forsake him whenever they were turned towards religion, espoused and defended her wildest tenets. Many conferences were held, days of fasting and humiliation were appointed, a general synod was called, and, after dissensions so violent as threatened the dissolution of the colony, Mrs. Hutchinson's opinions were condemned as erroneous, and she herself banished (1637). Several of her disciples withdrew from the province of their own accord. Vane quitted America in disgust, unlamented even by those who had lately admired him; some of whom now regarded him as a mere visionary, and others as one of those dark turbulent spirits doomed to embroil every society into which they enter.
However much these theological contests might disquiet the colony of Massachusetts Bay, they contributed to the more speedy population of America. When Williams was banished from Salem, in the year one thousand six hundred and thirty-four, such was the attachment of his hearers to a pastor whose piety they revered, that a good number of them voluntarily accompanied him in his exile. They directed their march towards the south; and having purchased from the natives a considerable tract of land, to which Williams gave the name of Providence, they settled there. They were joined soon after by some of those to whom the proceedings against Mrs. Hutchinson gave disgust; and by a transaction with the Indians they obtained a right to a fertile island in Narragansett Bay, which acquired the name of Rhode Island. Williams remained among them upwards of forty years, respected as the father and the guide of the colony which he had planted. His spirit differed from that of the Puritans in Massachusetts; it was mild and tolerating; an, having ventured himself to reject established opinions, he endeavored to secure the same liberty to other men, by maintaining that the exercise of private judgment was a natural and sacred right; that the civil magistrate had no compulsive jurisdiction in the concerns of religion; that the punishment of any person on account of his opinions was an encroachment on conscience and an act of persecution. These humane principles he instilled into his followers, and all who felt or dreaded oppression in other settlements resorted to a community in which universal toleration was known to be a fundamental maxim. In the plantations of Providence and Rhode Island, political union was established by voluntary association and the equality of condition among the members, as well as their religious opinions; their form of government was purely democratical, the supreme power being lodged in the freemen personally assembled. In this state they remained until they were incorporated by charter.
To similar causes the colony of Connecticut is indebted for its origin. The rivalship between Mr. Cotton and Mr. Hooker, two favorite ministers in the settlement of Massachusetts Bay, disposed the latter, who was least successful in this contest for fame and power, to wish for some settlement at a distance from a competitor by whom his reputation was eclipsed. A good number of those who had imbibed Mrs. Hutchinson's notions, and were offended at such as combated them, offered to accompany him. Having employed proper persons to explore the country, they pitched upon the west side of the great river Connecticut as the most inviting station; and in the year one thousand six hundred and thirty-six, about an hundred persons, with their wives and families, after a fatiguing march of many days through woods and swamps, arrived there, and laid the foundations of the towns of Hartford, Springfield, and Wethersfield.
[As appears in the selection which immediately follows this one, previous settlements had been made in the same locality.]
The history of the first attempts to people the provinces of New Hampshire and Maine, which form the fourth and most extensive division in New England, is obscure and perplexed by the interfering claims of various proprietors. The company of Plymouth had inconsiderately parcelled out the northern part of the territory contained in its grant among different persons; of these only Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain Mason seem to have had any serious intention to occupy the lands allotted to them. Their efforts to accomplish this were meritorious and persevering, but unsuccessful. The expense of settling colonies in an uncultivated country must necessarily be great and immediate; the prospect of a return is often uncertain and always remote. The funds of two private adventurers were not adequate to such an undertaking. Nor did the planters whom they sent out possess that principle of enthusiasm which animated their neighbors of Massachusetts with vigor to struggle through all the hardships and dangers to which society, in its infancy, is exposed in a savage land. Gorges and Mason, it is probable, must have abandoned their design if, from the same motives that settlements had been made in Rhode Island and Connecticut, colonists had not unexpectedly migrated into New Hampshire and Maine. Mr. Wheelwright, a minister of some note, nearly related to Mrs. Hutchinson, and one of her most fervent admirers and partisans, had, on this account, been banished from the province of Massachusetts Bay. In quest of a new station, he took a course opposite to the other exiles, and, advancing towards the north, founded the town of Exeter, on a small river flowing into Piskataqua Bay. His followers, few in number, but firmly united, were of such rigid principles that even the churches of Massachusetts did not appear to them sufficiently pure. From time to time they received some recruits, whom love of novelty, or dissatisfaction with the ecclesiastical institutions of the other colonies, prompted to join them. Their plantations were widely dispersed, but the country was thinly peopled, and its political state extremely unsettled. The colony of Massachusetts Bay claimed jurisdiction over them, as occupying lands situated within the limits of their grant. Gorges and Mason asserted the rights conveyed to them as proprietors by their charter. In several districts the planters, without regarding the pretensions of either party, governed themselves by maxims and laws copied from those of their brethren in the adjacent colonies. The first reduction of the political constitution in the provinces of New Hampshire and Maine into a regular and permanent form was subsequent to the Revolution.

Having hot flashes can be one of the causes for weight gain at menopause.
Menopause and peri-menopause are associated with the harmful loss of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in women and with the tremendous increase in total and abdominal obesity and hot flashes.
When a woman is having hot flashes, her brain is yelling at her ovaries to make the required estrogen her body needs to function properly. Unfortunately, the ovaries are no longer listening and the only structure in a women's body that is listening is the fat cells in the belly, hips and thighs.
That's because estrone, the estrogen of menopause is only made in fat tissue. So with hot flashes, your body is becoming dedicated to making more fat so that it can make more estrogen. I have seen weight gains exceeding 20 to 30 pounds over less than five years.
Regardless of what women do whether it's exercising, eating less and eating smarter, they still gain weight.
That's because their body is primed to make more fat.
The good news is numerous reports have shown a dramatic improvement in stopping weight gain and abdominal obesity with balancing of hormones.
And best of all, without hot flashes women will get a better night sleep which lead to more energy and helps them to think clearer.
With menopause and falling hormone levels, there is also an increase in the enzyme which causes fat development in the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Estrogen therapy reduces this fat forming enzyme which will decrease the enlargement of the fat cell thus decreasing fat formation in the abdomen, hips and thighs.
There is hope.
Unfortunately not all estrogens will reduce fat.
The topical bio-identical hormone therapies have been shown to dramatically reduce fat whereas the oral estrogen replacements, the synthetic horse urine derived estrogens and the synthetic progestins have all been shown to increase weight gain and inflammation.
So if you are having hot flashes and night sweats, don't buy more fans, change your sheets every night or hide in the freezer. Get some help with bio-identical hormones and help your body stop fat forming in its tracks. Balancing your hormones will help you effectively lose weight, sleep better, think clearer, and feel more energized.
Call Dr. Robert Carlson at (941) 955-1815 for consultation.

We have included below some of our more frequently asked questions from clients regarding Conveyancing & Property Law. Click on each heading to expand.
What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is described as the process whereby the transfer of land or property occurs between the owner and a purchaser.
Conveyancing in Queensland is very unlike other states of Australia as nearly all Queensland conveyancing is undertaken where time is of the essence.
Why use MCG Legal to do my Conveyancing?
MCG Legal has experience, are professional, prompt, easily contactable with access 24/7, reliable and cost effective.
We look forward to completing your Conveyancing and any of your Property Law needs.
What is involved in undertaking Conveyancing?
We at MCG Legal will do the following:
- Review your Contract, preferably before you sign it and if that is not the case, immediately upon receipt of the executed Contract
- Identify and notify you of key dates and issues in the Contract
- Check if the Contract is compliant with current legislation
- Conduct relevant searches on your behalf
- Liaise with your financier and the other party's legal representatives
- Communicate with you and all parties to the transaction at all times
- Calculate all necessary and applicable adjustments such as rates, water, body corporate, land tax and others
- Arrange settlement of the matter and attend to same
- Provide you with notification that your conveyance has been successfully completed, providing you with a settlement statement for your taxation purposes
Do I have to pay transfer duty?
Yes, transfer duty is payable on the purchase or acquisition of any land or property unless an exemption applies pursuant to the Duties Act 2001. If you are the purchaser of property, the likely answer is that you will be paying transfer duty. We at MCG Legal will advise you what transfer duty is payable after speaking with you and obtaining all of the relevant facts from you. We will also establish whether there are any exemptions applicable to you.
Please contact us to discuss.
What is 'time is of the essence'?
In Queensland, time is expressly of the essence under standard Contracts. Therefore, it is extremely important that all times and dates in the Contract are complied with as they are essential terms.
Failure to comply with these terms will place you in breach of the Contract and may allow the other party to terminate the Contract and / or sue for specific performance. The breach may also give rise to the forfeiture of the deposit if you are a purchaser. It is therefore extremely important that you provide to us the executed Contract as soon as it is received by you.
Should you have any questions, please contact us immediately.
What is a 'Cooling Off' period?
The cooling off period is found in Queensland residential Contracts. It is a period of time being 5 business days which is afforded to the purchaser to pull out of the Contract should they get 'cold feet' and not wish to continue. Should a purchaser wish to terminate a Contract under the cooling off period then they may be liable to pay 0.25% of the purchase price to the seller.
The cooling off period starts when the fully executed Contract is either provided to the purchaser or the purchaser's representative / solicitor.
Please note that not all Contracts have a cooling off period such as purchasing a residential property at auction or a commercial property. It is also the case that some sellers will ask you as the purchaser to waive the cooling off period. To do this there is a specific form that must be signed by your Solicitor after they have advised you of the advantages and disadvantages of waiving the cooling off period.
Are there hidden costs in Conveyancing?
Hidden costs in Conveyancing are usually found in fees charged for searches and settlements. Some firms place an additional fee onto their costs of searches or attending settlement. These can also be through a service company controlled by the firm or built into the search fee itself. Ensure you ask about hidden costs should you be obtaining quotations.
Does MCG Legal have hidden costs?
No we do not. You pay the exact amount it costs us for searches and to attend settlement. There are no hidden costs. Contact our Gold Coast Conveyancing team today to discuss your sale or purchase of property.

New Book Highlights How Enterprise Holdings Builds Brand Loyalty
According to marketing and customer service expert Kirk Kazanjian, building a successful company today means creating "an unbreakable bond of loyalty between your customers and employees." Now, his latest book Driving Loyalty: Turning Every Customer and Employee Into a Raving Fan for Your Brand reveals how to do just that.
Kazanjian's book delves into the guiding principles that have propelled Enterprise Holdings to its position as one of the world's largest family-owned companies, with $15.4 billion in annual revenues and a global fleet of more than 1.3 million vehicles. The company's regional subsidiaries operate the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands, and include car rental and car-sharing services, commercial truck rental, corporate fleet management and retail car sales. Not only does this extensive network provide a unique and competitive advantage, but so does its financial strength, with the company having the lowest debt-to-equity ratio and only investment-grade rating in the U.S. car rental industry.
In Kazanjian's view, a major factor behind this growth and success is that the Taylor family of St. Louis has never lost sight of a simple and fundamental business philosophy: take care of customers and employees first, and growth and profits will follow. The Taylors have owned and operated the company since it was founded with only seven cars in 1957.
Kazanjian's first book about Enterprise, Exceeding Customer Expectations, was published in early 2007. Later that same year, the Taylors made the largest acquisition in car rental history when they purchased the National and Alamo brands. Driving Loyalty updates the Enterprise story and chronicles how the company met the challenge of integrating and differentiating three distinct car rental brands, especially during one of the biggest economic downturns in U.S. history. Today, the entire Enterprise Holdings brand portfolio is generating some of the highest customer satisfaction scores in the company's history.
Sustainable Business Practices
In a chapter titled "Build a Sustainable Business," Kazanjian explores the positive impact of sustainable business practices on attracting and keeping customers. As a family-owned business, Enterprise is uncommonly in tune with the need to operate for the long term with the next generation in mind, continuously balancing the interests of customers, employees and the parts of the world touched by its business. This approach aligns with Kazanjian's observation that consumers increasingly look to support businesses that operate against a triple bottom line of economic, environmental and social performance.
For companies like Enterprise, sustainability can be a powerful source of brand loyalty:
"....So what does sustainability have to do with driving customer loyalty? A lot, as it turns out. Today's customers have a strong interest in doing business with companies committed to sustainability ... To meet customer demand, and demonstrate its commitment to bringing alternative technology to the rental car market, Enterprise has increased the number of hybrid and electric vehicles in its fleet. 'Ensuring that the passenger vehicle remains acceptable and economically viable to society is a huge part of our drive toward sustainability,' says CEO Andy Taylor. 'We know that investing in new technologies now will create value for us, our customers, and the community in the future. In fact more than half of our entire fleet consists of fuel efficient vehicles.'"

Kia Troubleshooting Questions? Ask a Mechanic
Hello, I am Scott ans I will assist you with your vehicle concern.
unhooking the quick tap for the trailer was a good hunch. That is sometimes an issue. Tell him good call, it is a shame it was not it.
Attached below is the wiring diagram. First off, if he could verify that there is no voltage at the Red/Black wires at the rear lamp sockets and that there is a good ground on the Black wires.
If there is voltage, inspect the sockets. I have had issues with those melting and customers only realize when both are out and not when they fail one at a time.
If there is no voltage, the next stop is the EXT fuse in the engine compartment fuse block. With the headlamps on, you need to verify voltage is there, don't trust the visual on the fuse, use a test light.
If no voltage, you will need to check the TNS relay. There should be two pins with voltage {non fused from the battery}and one with a ground when the headlamp switch is turned on and a ground on the other {lamps}
If the ground is missing, then you could have an ETWIS issue {see wire diagram and attached location diagram.}
My bet is the TNS relay if there is no voltage at the lamp sockets.
I'm not sure if you received my next question, but the was questions was about the EXT fuse. There is no fuse in the location that the manual said it would be. There is only a rubber plug there.
Then you have DRL. Next step is checking the voltage at the pins on the TNS relay, unless he has no checked the voltage at the rear sockets yet.
Just for my information, was the trailer wiring quick tapped {plugged in to harness} or was it spliced in? If spliced in, and if you live in an area that salts and drops the chloride on the roads during winter, the wires could be deeply corroded within. Just another thought.
No voltage @ rear sockets. There is voltage @ the TNS pins.
(The Harness is a plug in)
Sorry, big hands. Head Lamp and front park lamps. The Head lamps {self explanatory when I spell Head correctly} and the smaller lamps {park lamps} that come on other than the head lamps in the front of the vehicle.
Do they light?
the head lamps light and the lamps below light whitch are refered to as fog lights in the
o.k. Looking at the diagram, if there is voltage and trigger ground at the relay, and the relay is swapped with another like relay to test and there is the same result, and there is still no voltage at the rear lamps, then the fuse block will need to be lifted and the dual Red/Black wires at pin 6 need to be checked for voltage with the lamp switch on.
The possibility that there is a fuse block issue is slim, so I would swap the TNS relay with a known good one first.
You stated that you have voltage at two pins, one ground all the time and one ground when the switch is turned in, there is a good possibility the relay is faulty.
Depending on how deep you are willing to get, the next step is removing the fuse box and checking pin#6. If there is voltage there, then you will need to trace back to the splice at the rear of the vehicle where all the Red/Black wires mate and work the ends to the middle.
You have officially stepped into a wire or fuse block issue. We need to look at pin 6
What if there is not voltage?
If you have no voltage at pin 6 and have voltage at 14,13,4 and 3 (refer to diagram} then you have a fuse block issue. When the head lamp switch is on, key on, they all should light up.
if 6 does light up, then you are in to a hunt for the bad splice in the rear or a broken wire.
I am sorry it was not the relay. I also checked the Tech Service Bulletins for a heads up. There are none relating to your issue.
He is working on it. Trying to check pin 6. It sounds like he is having difficulty.
Why do these things always happen close to christmas.
Thankyou for all of your help. I think soon he is going to call it a night.
I understand more than you know on both counts. Santa is going to be lean this year. He needs a diet anyway.
I will be on in the early A.M. to check on you. Slow at the shop tomorrow, so I will look for you.
He has tried to find pin 6. said there is nothing numberd, has taken all of the harnesses off. And is unable to locate. I think he is just tired and can't work on this anymore.
Since the pins are not numbered how does he know which is pin 6? could you please email this answer to [email protected] thankyou for all of your help this evening.
Thanks again. My husband will have a look at it Mon after work.
So I should be able to msg you again?
We will obviously pay agian for more information. You have given us alot to work with so far. Hope we can get this solved.
Have a good evening, Candice

Like I said, I only watch on Netflix and thus cannot watch the third season yet. I was totally nervous that the end of Season 2 was a 'jump the shark' moment with regards to the blond ex-suicidal girl her final scene. But I was only a little worried. I kinda trust the director on this one.
Watched Romero's 'Land of the Dead' the other day. Man, is it of lower quality than the Walking Dead.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The USDA-Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) simulation model, version 94.7, was used to compute runoff and soil loss for a 24-year period of conventional tillage of corn. Simulated results were compared to observed results obtained from experimental 88 m**2 erosion plots on Mexico silt loam soil near Kingdom City, MO. Results were analyzed by crop stage periods of rough fallow (F), seed bed (SB), rapid growth (P1 and 2), reproduction and maturation (P3), and residue (P4). Additionally, all crop stage period results were aggregated into tillage year periods. Observed precipitation event intensity distributions, daily temperature extremes, and solar radiation were used with other generated climate variables to drive the WEPP model. The USLE procedure was also used to simulate soil loss. Variation of WEPP simulated runoff was generally less than variation of the observed runoff. Variation of WEPP simulated soil loss was generally less than variation of the observed soil loss, but it was more like the variation of observed soil than was the variation of the USLE simulated soil loss. Extreme values of WEPP simulated runoff and soil loss indicating a bias to under prediction of large event runoff and consequent soil loss. USLE simulated soil loss was found to have the same general bias, but the bias was greater.

After a hearty breakfast the team met with Jeanne Bailey and Tran Quoc Quan of the Foreign Agriculture Service here in Vietnam. Topics discussed included an overview of Southeast Asia and U.S. trade. The importance of Vietnamese food security was stressed with FAS prediction that it will soon be an impending leading rice producer. Adel Yusupov, SEA Regional Director for the U.S. Grains Council, ended his presentation by predicting that the countries of Southeast Asia will soon be as successful as Japan, Taiwan and Korea.
The tour then progressed to Thanh Binh Feed Mill which was an integrated agriculture facility that included a broiler breeding farm, rubber tree plantation and swine facility.
Thanh Binh Feed Mill began in the 1960's with one hog and has progressed to include 20,000 head. Mr. Ph Duc Binh, owner and operator of the facility, gave students a first-hand tour of his operations.
Compared to most U.S. feeds, Vietnamese feeds contain 10 ingredients which create a more cost effective product. After learning about Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) from member presentations at orientation and the U.S. Grains Council, the group finally got to see DDGS in person.
The tour concluded with a Vietnamese dinner hosted by Mr. Ph Duc Binh. Today's tour opened delegate's eyes to all of the possibilities of Vietnamese trade and future industry opportunities.
"Farming is an extremely tough job," Bailey said. "You not only feed part of the U.S. but the world."
We're headed to an aquaculture farm tomorrow!
Until then,

Fresh off a big win in Congress, the pro-GMO lobby is working its legislative magic again—this time at the state level.
If passed, an Oregon law would prevent individual towns and counties from regulating the planting, production and sale of genetically engineered crops and products. Behind Oregon's Senate Bill 633—which could come to a vote as early as the end of this week—are cleverly named advocacy groups like Oregonians for Food and Shelter, which actually are lobbyist groups for biotech giants that produce GMO seeds.
And the language of the law is tricky too. "This bill never mentions the word genetic engineering or GMO once—it's merely a preemption about seeds," Ivan Maluski, Policy Director for Friends of Family Farmers, tells TakePart. "It applies to county and local regulations on the display, notification, planting, and planting of seeds, as well as the products."
Essentially, the law would limit local governments from passing any legislation relating to seeds (either vegetable or flower seeds) and their products. "Makes legislative finding and declaration that regulation of agricultural seed, flower seed and vegetable seed and products of agricultural seed, flower seed and vegetable seed be reserved to state," is how its stated in SB 633.
"It's actually incredibly broad. It goes way beyond GMO crops. It could affect protecting certain orchards from an invasive species. It poses a real threat to a lot of different agricultural operations where they are regulated at the local level."
Maluski sees the state bill as a pre-emptive attack on efforts by residents of Jackson County, which is near the California stateline, to force a vote that would ban the planting of genetically engineered crops in the district.
"The reason that so many in Jackson County want to see GMO propagation criminalized is not to limit the freedoms of their fellow farmers or to jeopardize their livelihoods, it is because they want to protect and maintain their freedom to choose, and to maintain and protect their livelihoods," wrote farmer A.J. Boulton to agriculture news website Capital Press.
Senate Bill 633, should it pass, would render any regulations on genetically modified crops—not just bans, like so many in Jackson County want to see—illegal.
"We believe this is an anti-democratic piece of legislation because it takes away the rights of people in Jackson County to vote on these issues, and takes away the rights of other local jurisdictions to make decisions about their own future as it relates to local agriculture and food," Maluski says.
Genetically modified organisms are plants or animals created by splicing the DNA from different species to create combinations that would not occur naturally. Biotechnology companies like Monsanto mostly engineer crops to resist direct application of herbicide, allowing plants to live while surrounding weeds die. In Oregon, for instance, the biotechnology company Syngenta engineered an herbicide-resistant sugar beet seed that is grown throughout the state.
But more than 40 countries have written laws regulating the planting and labeling of GMO crops, and a handful have banned them altogether. While the long-term health effects of human consumption of GMO crops have yet to be determined, genetically engineered feed has been linked to cancer, miscarriage, and organ damage when fed to some animals.
Several states, including Oregon, have introduced measures to regulate the expansion of GMOs in recent years, the most famous of which was Proposition 37, which would have mandated that genetically engineered foods be labeled in California. Voters rejected the bill by a slight margin, following a campaign influenced by more than $46 million worth of No on 37 advertisements leading up to election day—much of which was paid for by food giants like Monsanto, Kellogg's, Kraft Foods, and Coca-Cola.
At the federal level, Monsanto actually helped craft a "biotech rider" attached to a sweeping budget bill that requires the USDA to approve the harvest and sale of crops from genetically modified seed even if a court has ruled the environmental studies on the crop were inadequate. President Barack Obama signed the bill, dubbed the "Monsanto Protection Act," into law a few days later.
In Oregon, Maluski says counties have taken up the issue of genetically modified foods because the state legislature has appeared unwilling to pass any meaningful regulations. At the outset of the current legislative session, he adds, several bills that would set out rules for GM crops were being considered—only three of which are still standing. House Bill 2319 authorizes the Oregon Department of Agriculture to set rules and regulations regarding GE crops; HB 2715 allows counties to establish control areas for GE crops; and HB 2736 would exempt farmers from liability for inadvertent acquisition or use of GE plants or seeds. Opponents of such bills call them "unwise" and "technologically regressive."
Should SB 633 pass the Senate this week and move onto the House of Representatives, Maluski says his organization would work to have the bill debated alongside these other house bills. At least that way, he says, legislators could have a robust conversation about the state's role in regulating the ever-changing landscape of GE foods. On SB 633, Maluski remains baffled that it has garnered so much support—including the cosponsorship of two Democrats.
"It's stunning that the state would be considering giving a handout to the biotech industry," he adds. "Oregon family farmers are up against a lot, and one of those challenges is out-of-state companies like Monsanto taking control of our landscape. It's important for Oregon senators to know the country is watching, and we believe they should slow down on this and ultimately vote no."
What do you think: should towns and counties be able to pass laws regulating the planting, production, and sale of GE crops?

hmmm, this sims as having a 2dB "knee" around 100Hz, not ideal, but I supose you can only trust sims so far. Maybe this would elminate the need for BSC, although I would think it might be somewhat underdamped. Of course I don't always know as much as I like to pretend I do .
Now that I think about it though Tim from this forum was kind enough to let me listen to a couple of pair of his CSS WR125S's which were in small vented boxes, they sounded quite nice. If this didn't break your budget I doubt you would be disapointed with these. If it does I still have high hopes for my friend's tang-band HT setup.

FWIW, I did a T/S max flat (~0.87ft^3/43.6Hz Fb) ML-TL and positive taper version of the WR125S awhile back with some early specs, so don't know how accurate they are:
Fs = 68
Qes = .77
Qms = 3.85
Qts = .64
Vas = 5.8L/0.204825ft^3
Sd = 57cm^2/8.835"^2
dia = 8.519cm/3.354"
Xmax = 6mm/0.2362" one way
Re = 7ohms
Le = .32mH
BL = 4.01N/A (4.1362 calc'd)
Mms = 4.3gr (4.4046 calc'd)
SPL = 85.6/W/m
The tapered one has a sim that corresponds to a BoxPlot max flat design and has a very smooth FR, ergo requires BSC if away from a boundary, while the ML-TL shows enough gain below ~125Hz that it may not need any BSC if not too far away, and due to the long pipe (both 49.55" i.d.) its response is a bit 'lumpy' looking with the same amount of minimal stuffing, but can be smoothed out with additional stuffing if need be.
Loud is Beautiful if it's Clean! As always though, the usual disclaimers apply to this post's contents.

Ok. Even going by the WR125S route doesn't make it any easier because it puts me in the same ballpark of cost(~$300 completed) and size(~0.25 cu. ft.) as the other 2-ways that I was considering.
North Creek Music - Echo (http://www.northcreekmusic.com/Echo/EchoInfo.htm)
Dennis Murphy - MB27 (http://murphyblaster.com/content.php?f=MB27.html)
CSS - WR125S full range speaker
All these speakers are very close in terms of size and cost. probably sensitivity too. Actually the MB27 should go quite a bit lower than 80hz but like I said its not very essential in my application since I will be always using the subwoofer of HT as well as music. Also, the FR of the WR125S is a little more bumpy than the other 2-ways.
Now the question that you all were just waiting for - which one should I build ? Guess its not the right question to ask on a full range forum but - has anyone heard any of the other 2-ways as compared to the WR125S ? Any comments that would help make a decision are highly appreciated!
From what I have seen in my very limited encounter with full range speakers, it looks like it would be best to go with full range speakers when space is not a constraint, and high sensitivity, flat impedance are desired - like in a tube amp application. But I might be wrong. Dont intend to change the subject of the thread but any insight into this would be helpful!

Sorry Percy, I want to help, but I can't follow what your real (preferred) criteria is. Price, size, SPL's, efficiency, F3, or FR? And I don't think you can be OT on this thread, not at this point anyway.
Small boxes just don't go low. I've built the "Esquire ala Rabbitz" (Vifa P13WH-00-08 woofer/midrange and the Vifa D27TG-45-06) with both the series xover and a single cap. (something only doable with these drivers) and I would suspect your choices above are similar in sound, namely, clear and detailed. It's a great bookshelf speaker. But no doubt, I'd always suggest to build the best you can, and go with the TLb found at Planet10's site with those drivers. That would be a front you won't want to upgrade soon. But it's a higher priced floorstander.
I can't hear the bumps in the graphs. The CSS WR125 is a significantly different speaker in full range presence and imaging with comparable clarity and detail. A little larger perhaps and not as efficient, but I'd call it a better speaker for the same price. I'm not really into HT surround sound, and feel a TB 871 or two for rears is all you need if you want to go for cheap and small, perhaps you can save money there. Heck, B@$e uses those cube thingies for decent rear sound and one 871 is an order of magnitude better.
Maybe if you spell out what you're used to and what you want exactly, you'll get more specific replies? (See sentence 2) Full rangers can be either more or less efficient and big or small in cab size and price. One of those "Cheap, Small, or Good" things...pick two.

SPL and efficiency IMO not all that important.
To put the above order in a statement -
if there is an option that will give me the smallest size(less than 0.25 cu ft), and an F3 of 80hz, which does not mean it can misbehave in the rest of the audio spectrum, then I am willing to bear the extra cost.
Keep in mind though that this is primarily for music and then some HT, kinda like 70% music 30% HT.

Wish I could turn around and A/B them for a quick write-up, but the WR125 is one that hasn't spent too many nights here since I built them.
First, the Esquire needs a sub and crossed over more around 100 than 80Hz, and it's a little bright for some people who can sit here and quicky listen to a half dozen DIY speaks. It does amaze some people that those little boxes fill the room with sound. It's usually the first ones I play for visitors to my shop piled high with protos and attic amps and GC's in various stages of construction. Give em a chance to hear a nice sound, even if they can't tell which ones are playing.
Like I've said, clear, detailed, perhaps a tiny bit bright in the highs, below the snap and sizzle, but not siblant, very sweet mids....really shows off how the BGT3875 places the drums IN the room.
I also have some small line arrays of 4,TB871s and a horn tweet on either side of my monitor, this is a nice demonstration of imaging in the nearfield especially. With a sub under the desk I think you'd be hardpressed to beat them as PC speaks. They're clear at very quiet levels and will comfortably play at 95dB at 3 meters. For full rangers, they have a very flat FR, and can use a small box. For what they can do, I can't imagine a better bargain for rears.
Upstairs, around my TV I have Audax MTM fronts, and they serve as my present reference. Link These drivers may be available for less than listed there, but the xover isn't cheap. If your budget was higher, they'd be my recommendation, as the boxes aren't that large for the full range they produce. Like I was saying before, the FE127E Bipole w/(minimal)sub produces 96% of the range of these, with perhaps even more detail, and at this level you start being critical of "the mix."
Now to compare the CCS WR125, I built the tall, narrow, deep 11L box tuned to about 55Hz and installed the Audax TMO25F1, but I haven't yet connected the tweeter.
The sound is very full, it seems the cabinet is too small to sound that big, not quite as detailed as the Fostex or the Audax, maybe more like the TB, but a rich presence, all there, a little laid back, but very musical. The first thing you notice is the deep bass coming from this small driver, then you can't believe the tweeter isn't on. My first impression is that this was the perfect nearfield monitor for my friends with very small studios...and so far they all agree. (waiting for xover parts and we'll see) Excluding that my other complaint is that they need fussy placement for the best imaging further out.
But like I said, try em, if you don't like em, I"ll find them a home.
