BMW X5 xDrive Recall 13V339000
Potential Dead Battery or Electrical Fire
Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine could experience a dead battery condition or possible electrical fire.
BMW will notify owners during August of 2013. If don't receive notification and you feel you should, please contact your dealer for further instruction. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so please have it handy when you call.
The fuel filter on vehicles with a diesel engine is equipped with an electric heater to warm the diesel fuel in cold climate conditions. This heater could experience and electrical overload and fail to turn off as designed. Having the fuel heater stay on while the ignition is off could result in a dead battery. The heater could also overheat and potentially cause and electrical fire. Dealers will replace the diesel fuel filter heater on affected vehicles to complete this recall.
August 7, 2013
BMW is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 X5 xDrive35d vehicles equipped with a diesel engine and manufactured from June 13, 2009, through November 9, 2009. The fuel filter heater, which is used for warming up the diesel fuel during vehicle operation at low outside temperatures, could experience an electrical overload condition and become permanently activated.
The fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off and lead to a dead battery. The unit could also overheat, possibly resulting in a vehicle fire.
BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel filter heater, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin in August 2013. Owners may contact BMW customer relations at 1-800-525-7417.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Date of Stay: December, 2006
Nice clean park. Owners were friendly and looked like they took real good care of the park. Will be coming back to stay again. Close to all the action but with easy assess to get in and out but still far enough to get out of all the Pigeon Forge traffic. Able to also get a good satellite connection.
Date of Stay: September, 2006
Nice clean park. Stayed on labor day weekend. Enjoyed the free campground activities. Anytime that we are close we would stay again. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Date of Stay: June, 2006
We have stayed in the park for several years and have really liked the park. Both my teenage girls like the pool and how close it is to the beach. I was disappointed that they charged an additional $5.00 per person per night over 2 adults this year. They did not do that in the past. It is pricy, but you get what you pay for with a clean well kept park. I would stay there again.

Home › Forums › Campfire › Post-Trip Reports › Solo: Sawtooth Traverse and Matterhorn Peak
Jul 16, 2012 at 3:37 pm #1292060
This trip almost didn't happen. Between the forecast of 40% chance of thunderstorms all weekend, the long solo drive, and a difficult itinerary, I figured it might be better to just stay home this weekend. But I took Dave Chenault's advice to go anyway, and I'm glad that I did.
I've seen the Sawtooth Range and Matterhorn Peak many times on various other trips. I've seen them from the top of Mt. Conness, from highway 395 near Bridgeport, from the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne a few weeks earlier. Eventually if you see a cool looking mountain enough times, you have to go climb it.
After navigating my way through the giant sprawling maze of RV campsites known as Mono Village, it was liberating to be walking on the very beautiful Robinson Creek Trail.
I found myself lost in thought, and before I knew it, I had nearly walked past my scheduled turn-off from the main trail, up Little Slide Canyon. After having done a few trips recently using much larger scale Tom Harrison maps, I misinterpreted how far I had to walk on my 15' USGS topos. I realized my mistake when I got my first view of Kettle Peak and the Incredible Hulk.
I had instructions from both Secor's guidebook and the SuperTopo climbing guide. Both of these caution the walker to turn left up Little Slide Canyon early, to avoid having to wade through beaver ponds followed by a terrible bushwhack next to the creek. But it didn't look so bad from where I was standing; just a small cluster of aspens and then the canyon opened up above. So I stepped off trail, turned due south, and began the first off-trail section of my trip. You can guess what happened next.
Fast forward 45 minutes. After wading knee-deep through the beaver ponds followed by 100 yards of thrashing through willows, I can personally verify that the guidebooks are correct. But I was back on track, on the pretty decent climber's trail up through the canyon. The trees slowly faded to bushes, and the bushes slowly faded to talus.
The views up canyon kept getting better. I can see why this is such a popular climbing area. The Incredible Hulk is but one of the many impressive rock formations in the canyon. Outguard Spire, the Reggae Pole, The Thing; all beautiful rock formations with equally interesting names.
Eventually, I made my way to the top of the canyon, where Maltby Lake and Ice Lake reside.
The "trail", which was relatively distinct up to the base of the Hulk, had long since disappeared. The way forward alternated between scrambling over talus, up small snow fields, and through patches of beautiful alpine tundra. Shortly after passing the lakes, Ice Lake Pass made itself visible as a small notch in the ridge with a talus gully leading up to it. Once I crested the pass, the small notch opened up into a broad hanging valley, filled with wildflowers and small tarns, with a beautiful creek meandering through it.
After a short while, I met up with the trail from Mule Pass and made my way up Slide Canyon proper to the headwaters of Piute Creek. Though the sky had been clear all day with the exception of a few small puffy clouds, I was still worried about the thunderstorm forecast. I found a small grove of pine trees to pitch my tarp, and had dinner in a nearby meadow with a great view of the entire Sawtooth range. The sunset lit up the mountains and the sky beautiful shades of orange and pink.Jul 16, 2012 at 3:42 pm #1895246
It never got cold that night, and I slept most of the night with my quilt down at my knees. I woke up very early the next morning, knowing that I needed to climb Matterhorn Peak quickly to avoid the chance of getting caught in an afternoon thunderstorm. I broke camp in about 15 minutes and hiked a ways up the trail before stopping for coffee & granola. The sun just began to illuminate the highest peaks of the Sawtooth Range as I ate breakfast.
Burro Pass became visible as just a small notch in the west ridge of Matterhorn Peak. My route for the day was to climb to Burro Pass, and then continue up the west ridge and southwest slopes to the summit. From this angle, the West Ridge looked impossibly steep. But one axiom that is almost invariably true in the Sierra is that nothing is as steep or as hard as it looks from far away.
I made the 800' climb up to Burro Pass in about an hour, and surveyed the route in front of me. It looked like I could climb the first 500 or so feet on the West Ridge, before being forced off to the sandy southwest slope. The SW slope then lead to a prominent notch in the ridgeline which would give me access to the summit.
The W. Ridge turned out to be a fun rock scramble with a few sections of class 2. This was followed by a miserable hour's or so work climbing the remaining 900' of scree to the notch. The notch had an impressive view south encompassing most of Yosemite, and an equally impressive view north to Twin Lakes and Horse Creek Canyon.
I dropped my pack, hoping a marmot wouldn't chew off the straps, and headed up the remaining 200 feet or so of class 2 or 3-ish blocks to the summit. I made it to the top at about 9:15 AM.
The view from the top was sublime, and I spent an enjoyable 20 minutes or so taking in the views. There wasn't a cloud in the sky- it was starting to seem like this trip was a good idea after all.Jul 16, 2012 at 3:44 pm #1895247
Here I found myself at 12,200', with my car 5,100 feet and 5 or so miles below me. Part of my motivation for this trip was that I am planning on hiking the Sierra High Route, if not this season, at least some time in my life. Horse Creek Pass and Horse Creek Canyon form the last few miles of the High Route, and I wanted to get a taste for how difficult the SHR actually is. I've done a fair amount of rock climbing and scrambling in the Sierra, and wanted to know how the routes I have done stack up against a "real" section of the High Route.
I could see Horse Creek Pass from the summit, with a steep snowfield sticking out behind a rocky notch. I was able to scree ski 1,200' down the Southeast Slope of Matterhorn Peak in less than 15 minutes, and before I knew it I was staring down the pass. By staying far to the left, I was able to avoid the snowfield by climbing down relatively stable talus followed by a short 100' section of dangerously loose talus. It was only after I made it down this section that I realized there was no difficulty at all descending directly next to the snowfield, where a chute of what looked like stable talus bypassed the snowfield entirely. Oops.
The slope gradually lessened, and after about an hour and 1,000' of elevation loss I was mostly out of the boulders. I was able to follow intermittent use trails by this point, and Horse Creek had grown from a small flow out of the snowfield into a bona fide creek.
The water was quite cloudy with silt, which I haven't seen very often in the Sierra. I suppose this is a result of the permanent snowfields above.
As I continued to descend, I began to gain more and more respect for the group of guys I had seen plodding up the SE Slope on their way to summit Matterhorn Peak. Horse Creek Canyon is steep! The trail I was descending was way steeper than anything I had come up in Little Slide Canyon. In fact, dropping more than 5,000 feet in a little more than 4 miles makes this route approximately twice as steep as hiking to the top of Half Dome via the Mist Trail.
As one final indignity, the use trail was pinched off by a talus slope that reached all the way down to Horse Creek.
After a few more minutes of scrambling over this obstacle, the use trail could finally be called a real trail and about an hour later I was descending switchbacks back to my car at Twin Lakes. A final view of Matterhorn Peak over Horse Creek Falls was a nice way to close out the trip.
Here's a map of my route:

Andrew… Awesome! I've been eyeing Matterhorn ever since moving out here. Very nicely done. I may be following nearly your exact footsteps at some point later this season.
Did it look feasible to follow the ridge past Horse pass SE and bag Twin Peaks as well?Jul 16, 2012 at 9:18 pm #1895350
Thanks for all the feedback, guys.
James, I don't know if you have a copy of Secor's "The High Sierra" but would highly recommend his map and info on Ice Lake Pass and the Matterhorn if you have access to a copy (or borrow mine sometime!) It has good info on the easiest route to take in Little Slide Canyon and Horse Creek. As well as just being an awesome book in general.
As far as Twin Peaks, you could get to the top of "Horse Creek Peak" which is a sub-peak of Twin Peaks just east of the pass… Secor says the SW side is class 2. But taking the ridge to Twin Peaks proper would most certainly be class 5.

NIce report and photos Andrew. My wife and I came through Horse Creek Pass just a week earlier putting a wrap on the SHR. The pics from the peak and the views it afforded look amazing. I wish we had taken the time to get up there but we were spent by that point.Jul 23, 2012 at 2:06 pm #1896934
Dave TMember
Agreed. I had Matterhorn on the list of peaks to bag on my SHR hike, but by the time we got there, we just wanted to put the early morning crampons on and head down the steep hard snow below the pass towards the finish line (and beer).Jul 27, 2012 at 4:50 pm #1898076

nice trip report – I always enjoy reading them and seeing your photos – for example when you got snowed on at Hetch Hetchy.
As your PM is not working, I'm reaching out to you this way. Send me a PM if you are interested.
This is the second time I read that you are preparing for the SHR. Last time you wrote that you are planning for a two week solo end of this summer.
I too am planning a solo trip on the SHR this summer for two weeks from 9/1 to 9/16 – going all the way from Road's End to Mono Village. I actually plan right now to do it in 12 days, but like to have buffer days and I'm planning on spending an extra day on summiting Mt. Ritter from the West (mostly class 2 and no glacier).
My wife who will hike the JMT next week with me and two of our daughters, likes that I take a SPOT along, but would like it better if I had a partner. Although I'm planning all along for a solo trip I have a permit for four.
Since we both live in the Bay Area it would be easy to meet and exchange plans.
Have a great weekend,

If you didn't know this. . . well, you should probably stop reading and start doing your taxes. If you did, and your 1040s and W-4s and W-9s have long been filed, perhaps you're gearing up for the Rhode Island Tea Party's 5th anniversary rally on the State House lawn.
This year's theme is going to be — no big surprise — "loving liberty and fighting tyranny," according to new RITP President Mike Puyana, an occupational health and safety consultant who lives in Burrillville.
We spoke with Puyana over the phone to get a sense of what it's like fighting for smaller government, lower taxes, and fewer gun regulations in one of the country's bluest states.
Our conversation has been edited and condensed.
HOW WOULD RHODE ISLAND LOOK DIFFERENT UNDER A TEA PARTY ADMINISTRATION? We believe that the public assistance system is badly flawed in the way it's applied. We would like to see it changed to stop the dependency cycle that keeps feeding the beast and have it be much more of what a man who ran for governor four years ago [said], "should be a trampoline, not a hammock."
Our government would have much tighter controls and scrutiny for transparency and accountability issues. We would absolutely be aggressively pursuing full investigation of the 38 Studios debacle. We would be aggressively pursuing what appears to be a developing scandal and many questions about the Providence Economic Development Partnership.
Obviously, we need tax reform. We need a cut in our fundamental sales tax rate — a substantial cut, we believe. We believe we need cuts in our corporate tax rates. We should have cuts in our capital gains tax rates. We should get rid of that highly insulting $500 minimum corporate tax every year that a business entity has to pay, regardless of whether or not they turned a profit. We have way too many taxes on business.
Our regulatory process is far too convoluted and complicated. . . it's redundant. I've lost count of the number of businesses I've gone into where I look at the wall and I'm amazed at the number of different permits they have to have for this, that, and everything else. Every one of those permits will cost this business money and drive up their cost of doing business, and, therefore, it drives up the overall cost of living. It gives people less disposable income.
We [also] need an increase in our estate tax exemption. Right now the threshold is a little over $900,000. It should be at least double that. I'd love to see it go to $3 or $4 or even $5 million to encourage retirees to stay here so they can protect their hard-earned earnings.
We believe if Tea Party principles were running this state, we would have far lower unemployment. We would have far better income levels. We would have far fewer people who are in the situation where they might have at least a temporary need of public assistance.

A Dad's Rebuttal
Dear Editor:
First let me say I am frugal, not cheap. Last year I donated over a thousand dollars to charities and religion. I like having my family staying with me, but they said they would be out by Super Bowl (They forgot to tell me which one!) I can't figure out how my granddaughter can sit in a room with the TV on, computer in use and listening to music with ear plugs, but can't seem to find the hamper!
It's not just LIPA. I try to go green, save water, trees, I recycle and try to save earth's resources. I saw homes built in a month, but it takes over four months to rebuild a standing structure. Go figure. I think I made life too comfortable!
Things I hope I never see again: A storm like Sandy, a letter to The Wave by Larry Penner, Joan Mettler and John Baxter, damage to my daughter's house and my name in The Wave!
Speedy recovery to all. God Bless Rockaway and America. No better place to live!!!


text: so here goes, I changed out my battery because the dealer told me my top not going down completely was due to my old battery... in the process of changing the battery, I have lost some functionality that I have been spoiled by. Here is my issue: when I roll my windows down using the automatic feature, it works fine. However, when I reverse the process to roll them up automatically, it no longer allows me to press the button down all the way and let go. Also, I have tried cycling the hard top down then back up, and pressed the convertible button again to get the windows to roll up automatically again and no go. Can someone tell me if there is some kind of setting or fuse or whatever I can do to get this function back? I would appreciate it. Thanks

The overhead crane has a variety of applicationsThe overhead crane is mainly used for the moving of loads in heavy-industry and other industrial sectors. It is made out of a crane bridge that carries a travelling trolley. This travels across the crane bridge using steel wheels. The crane bridge moves along parallel tracks. This means it is possible for every area that lies under the crane's tracks to be reached. The movement of the crane bridge is also determined by the construction of the tracks. These are mainly located on the outer walls of the hall.
|Quality Great offers Personalized
History and background of these machinesThe crane has existed ever since materials and workpieces have needed to be transported. The overhead crane was developed for the special implementation of moving heavy loads within a restricted space. A overhead crane can be positioned exactly where it is needed and allows for the delicate lowering of heavy loads, also in areas of limited space. Overhead cranes were implemented with the development of the first steel and machine construction companies. Since the introduction of CNC-technology, fully automatic overhead cranes were developed to be used in the production process.
Areas of application and examples of overhead cranesOverhead cranes are used to move heavy workpieces like pallets or boxes in a variety of sectors including warehouse management, steel and machine manufacturing, and for loading and unloading.

Man Kills Designer for Criticizing Home
This will hopefully make all those "know-it-all" designers choose there words carefully when commenting on potential clients about their existing decor (this man was obviously completely wacko, but still).
A South African man told a court how he hacked to death his interior designer because she criticized his decor, local newspapers reported on Tuesday. Jose da Silva, 37, pleaded guilty to murdering 47-year-old Beatrice Harrowyn in 2001 after inviting her to his new house in a classy suburb north of Johannesburg. "We went through the house and I told her what I wanted. She did not make any nice comments about my place so I went to my garage and fetched an axe," the Star newspaper reported him as saying.
"I killed her because she reminded me of an old school teacher whom I hated very much."

Companies weigh options under health care changes
Indiana employers are weighing their options as they face new requirements to offer workers health benefits under the federal health care overhaul.
The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires companies to begin offering health insurance to employees working at least 30 hours a week beginning next year. Employers with more than 50 workers that fail to offer health benefits to qualifying staff can face steep fines.
The Indianapolis Business Journal reports the change is forcing some employers to consider cutting workers' hours to avoid paying the increased costs.
Jay Ricker of Anderson-based Ricker Oil Co. says he expects to expand coverage to his 650 employees but says some companies won't be able to afford that option and could go out of business.

|RareNZ hand woven scarves
Hey there fibre lovers
We have had an interesting year full of challenges. The New Zealand Mill we use to make our yarns has had much inner turmoil. We are still not sure of its future. It will be sad to lose this historical Woollen Mill with it's amazing old but timeless machinery. We are crossing our fingers that we will be able to get yarn made there in 2017.
As a result, some of our yarns are running low so if you snooze, you lose.
The Tree Children Yarns rocked out the door. We hope to stock them again in the new year. We will keep you posted here.
Inspired by the gift of Eve's looms, we, Ruth & Vicki, have been learning and falling in love with the age old craft of weaving. We are weaving a range of Men's Scarves in our natural range of alpaca merino yarns as we see a niche in the market for stylish Men's accessories. Over summer we'll put up a photo of the floor loom by Ruth's beautiful pool. The saying will be, "Weave a scarf, Have a swim, drink a ....cup of tea of course."

What a fabulous versatile vest. Wear it up either way and back to front - looks good however you weat it.
Designed to knit in our Brushed 80% alpaca 20% merino knitting yarn, but also works well in our Pure Boucle. (It takes one extra ball in the Pure than the pattern states for the brushed.)
No sewing up - quick to knit. A fabulous project.

The Isotopes claim a 9-2 record all-time in Home Openers and have won five straight dating back to the 2009 season. The highest opening night attendance came April 11, 2003, when 12,215 fans filed into The Lab. Through 11 seasons, the 'Topes have averaged 9,783 fans on Opening Night, topping the 10,000 mark six times. The 2006 Home Opener (11,653) and 2005 opener (10,201) rank second and third, respectively.
The Wheels On the Buss Go 'Round And 'Round
Outfielder Nick Buss posted a 3-for-4 performance against Reno Thursday night, driving in two runs and scoring another. The 27-year-old has reached base in all but one of Albuquerque's games this season and has recorded a hit in four of the last five games. After leading the PCL a season ago with 100 RBI, Buss has driven in a team second-best four runs and drawn the second-most walks (5) for the 'Topes this season.
Tonight's Promotional Item
The first 3,000 fans to tonight's game will receive a knit hat courtesy of Sandia Resort and Casino. Tomorrow's giveaway is a Manager Damon Berryhill t-shirt courtesy of Coca-Cola to the first 3,000 fans 18 and older.

Albuquerque is one of only two teams in the Pacific Coast League with a pair of players ranked in the league's top-10 batting averages. Miguel Olivo's .474 average ranks third, while Joc Pederson's .417 clip is tied for eighth. Olivo also has two home runs in his last two games, while Pederson leads the Isotopes with three long balls on the season.
Score Early, Score Often
In three of the Isotopes four wins this season they plated the first runs of the game, and in all four losses, the opponent scored first. At least one run has been scored in the first inning of each game this season and the 'Topes have scored a run in each inning except the eighth.
Divisional Disco
The Pacific Coast League shook up its divisions prior to the 2014 season. Albuquerque moved into the Pacific Conference, Southern Division where they are joined by El Paso, Las Vegas and Salt Lake. The Northern Division members are Fresno, Reno, Sacramento and Tacoma. On the American Conference side, the Northern Division now features Colorado Springs, Iowa, Oklahoma City and Omaha, while the Southern Division is now comprised of Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans and Round Rock.
New Faces Meet Old Faces
Taking the reigns of the Isotopes this season is Damon Berryhill, a five-year veteran of the Dodgers' organization Berryhill spent three of his 10 Major League seasons in Atlanta catching the likes of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Steve Avery in their prime. Familiar faces on the bench include pitching coach Glenn Dishman and hitting coach Franklin Stubbs, who are back in Albuquerque for their fourth and second seasons, respectively.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
I am pleased to report that John Boehner has taken my advice. He introduced a House resolution today that would give him authority to sue the president, and here's what it says:
Resolved, That the Speaker may initiate or intervene in one or more civil actions on behalf of the House of Representatives...to seek appropriate ancillary relief...with respect to implementation of (including a failure to implement) any provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act....
Blah blah blah.
And just which provision of Obamacare does Boehner plan to target? Here you go:
"In 2013, the president changed the healthcare law without a vote of Congress, effectively creating his own law by literally waiving the employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it," Boehner said in a statement. "That's not the way our system of government was designed to work. No president should have the power to make laws on his or her own."
Well, Obama didn't "literally waive" the employer mandate, he just delayed it for two years. But close enough!
Now, there are two sides to this. On the positive side for Boehner, it's fairly defensible as these things go. It's not a slam dunk, but you can make a decent case that Obama really did overstep the plain text of the law. However, the downside is that Obama probably doesn't care much about this. It's a fairly minor provision of the law, and if he loses the case it doesn't do any serious damage to Obamacare. In fact, the only damage it does is to the small employers who asked for the delay. So really, Boehner is only setting himself up to oppose the interests of small businesses.
But here's the really interesting thing about this: Boehner is suing over a provision of the law that's been delayed until 2016. But a lawsuit like this takes a while. It'll take a while to file the documents, and then a while longer to get on the calendar of a district court. Then another while for a hearing and a ruling, and then yet another while for an appeal. Then yet another while if the White House asks for an en banc review. And then finally yet another while as it goes up to the Supreme Court. How long altogether? I'd guess a minimum of a year and a half, and probably more like two years. So the best case for conservatives is that the Supreme Court takes it up in late 2015. By the time they're ready to rule, it's moot because the mandate has taken effect and Obama is out of office.1
Boehner is smart enough to know all this perfectly well. In other words, he knows that this is purely a symbolic gesture. Not only does Obama not really care much about it, but it's vanishingly unlikely that the Supreme Court will ever hear the case. That makes it an almost perfect piece of theater. Neither side cares much, and it will never be decided. Boehner gets to say he's doing something, Obama gets some mileage out of mocking him, and that's it. The real-world impact is literally zero.
And that might be just what Boehner wants.
1This assumes that any court is willing to grant Boehner standing to sue in the first place.

Reykjavik, Iceland
On the southwest coast of Iceland is the capital Reykjavik. The airport is located outside the resort Keflavik serves as a hub for many international carriers as was seen in the ash cloud in 2010.
Things to Do in Reykjavik
Iceland has a lot to offer when it comes to nature and with Reykjavik on the island, you can always relax nature holiday with a city environment. The first thing that strikes a visitor is often the feeling of freedom in the city. There is plenty of space between the houses and the gates are wide, it breathes small town even though it lives in the order of 200 000 people here.
Are you interested in architecture, there are several modern buildings to visit. In the city you can view Reykjavik church, Hallgrims which was designed in the early 1900s. With the different architecture and tall bell tower, the church has become a bit of a landmark that is visible from all over town. The new concert and opera house opened in summer 2011 and has a facade of thousands of windows making the building itself is also a tourist destination for visitors who are not going to a concert .
For the more nature -hungry air travelers, there are plenty of outdoor experiences thanks to its unique nature with glaciers, mountains and geysers. Thorsmörk east of Reykjavík offers a hike in the magnificent scenery with a natural valley surrounded by mountains and there are more beautiful areas around the capital.
Bathing in hot springs
But what's a vacation without swimming and shopping . Shopping can be done in the large shopping mall pretzel or along the street, Laugavegur, and despite the chilly weather, there are very good and unique bathing in Reykjavik. Thanks to the hot springs may Reykjavik not only power and hot water for their homes and industries, but the hot water is also used for bathing.
The Blue Lagoon is a mix of bath and spa. The mineral-rich water reaches a temperature of nearly 40 degrees, and is said to have beneficial properties for the skin. People come from all over the world to bathe in Iceland, the Blue Lagoon is a given destination.

After being granted a crown by a lion, a man investigates his place in the universe.
This movie was based on a book of scientific philosophy by Dr. Harlow Shapley, and there's something quite audacious in the attempt to even do such a thing. It's not a complete success; it can't help but be a little dry and dull at times. Nevertheless, it's successful enough to be worth watching; it combines whimsical animation with classical music, and occasionally uses narration and abstract visuals to discuss the concepts of space, time, matter, energy, and whether life exists on other planets. It does manage to leave you pondering on how man fits into the universe, which is one of its goals. The framing story of man receiving the crown from the former King of Beasts (the lion) serves as an effective metaphor for the search, and the most effective moment in the movie is when man finally figures out what to do with that crown. I found the movie unique, likeable and effective.

Text message marketing (also called SMS marketing) has been around for over 20 years. Yet many businesses have failed to grasp its potential
It's direct, personal and, properly targeted, can be a great way for small firms to communicate with customers. Read on to find out how texting can help you spread the word about your products and services.
Text messages in your marketing strategy
Take a look at your marketing strategy. Does it contain all the elements you need to connect with your target market in the most cost and time-effective way?
Consumers are a difficult bunch to reach. Our lives are busy, so we don't always have time to sit and read articles, emails or newsletters on a company's offerings.
However, the majority of us do have mobile phones. (Did you know that the UK has more mobile phones than people?) And we keep them with us day and night. SMS marketing, or text marketing, is a personal, direct and cost-effective way to reach your target market.
Opportunities to text your customers
Text message marketing can work for all kinds of businesses.
For instance, restaurants are often quieter at the start of the week. One way to attract more business might be to contact customers, using details collected during previous bookings.
A simple text message - with a compelling offer - could be an excellent way to reach these people. For instance: 'Buy one meal get one free at The Bull on Tuesday. Please call Helen on 01222 123456 to book.'
Or take a plumber who wants to drum up trade before the winter rush. They could send a text message to customers offering 10% off if they have their boiler serviced before September. This attracts new customers and helps to spread work throughout the year.
SMS marketing best practice
It's easy to start building a database, as long as you're disciplined about asking customers for contact details. And, of course, it's vital to capture mobile phone numbers.
Ask for contact details on the telephone, in person and on your website. At the same time, get permission from customers to use their details for marketing purposes.
To avoid falling foul of the Data Protection Act, you must also give them a simple way to unsubscribe from marketing messages.
Once you've started gathering customer details, the key to a successful SMS campaign is simple:
- Know who you are trying to reach
- Think about what you want to tell them
- Be clear what you want them to do and give them a call to action
- Prepare the content of your text message carefully (then get someone else to check it)
- If you want them to contact you, tell them how (include your URL or telephone number)
- If you want to give them an offer, explain it in the message
You can also brand your SMS messages (so they come from your company name, not just your number) or include colour, images, video or sound in an MMS (multimedia message).
These techniques can make your messages stand out and boost conversion rates. But tread carefully; messages containing pictures and sounds may have a higher annoyance factor than simple text messages.
Some statistics suggest that 98% of text messages get read, so SMS offers real opportunities for small businesses. With figures that impressive, you would be mad not to give it a try.

We're quickly approaching a tipping point.
1st place in Derby #175 Double-Take 11, with 797 votes!
Hey, we're not knocking our niche. We know geeky pop-culture references are where it's at for us and we thank you for keeping the heat on in our apartments. It's just that being the pragmatic, forward-thinking business tycoons we are, we can't help but wonder what the future holds.
Geekdom is cool, now. It has been for awhile. And there are plenty of web sites, retailers, blogs, movies, and books catering/pandering to that fact. Which is great, especially for us, but we're starting to worry about the inevitable backlash.
See, Americans love an underdog. Our culture is filled with stories of the little guy rising up to put a licking on the establishment. But once you rise to success you're on a pretty short timer until the people get sick of you sitting at the top. Not only do they stop rooting for your success, they start actively trying to tear you down. Don't believe us? Look at the New England Patriots, Google, Apple, or the US Government in world affairs.
Pretty soon people will be clamoring for the newest, greatest shirt designs. Geek will be out. Sports logos and ICP designs will be in. And then we'll all have nothing left to wear.
Wear this shirt: While you can. Soon the non-meek will inherit the earth!
Don't wear this shirt: To a football game. People are going to think it's one of those cheapo knockoff jerseys.
This shirt tells the world: "I have Wislawa Szymborska's poem memorized to 144 characters."
We call this color: Asphaltedes' Constant
Design Placement: Centered
Design Size:
3X – S: 13" x 12.17"
WXL - K4: 9" x 8.43"
Pantone Colors: White - Warm Red C - Black
Please check our sizing chart before you order. The Woot Tee follows a classic closer-fitting style. If you prefer a baggier look, order a larger size. If there is not a larger size, consider starting a belly-hanging-out trend.

Masters Central | Sign Lion Kim's Guestbook
Kim Interview | Family, Michigan Push Kim on Road to Masters
University of Michigan senior men's golfer Lion Kim will play in the 2011 Masters, with tournament week running Monday through Sunday, April 4-10, at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. He earned an invitation by winning the 2010 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship.
The Views Really Did Change
Yesterday, K.J. Choi told Kim the course would look completely different with all the fans attending the Monday open practice.
Kim thought of that advice while he and his parents were following a security escort through a few areas because of the thousands of patrons.
"It was so different today," said Kim. "The driving range, the putting green and the fairways between No. 1 and No. 10 were just packed with fans. It definitely brought a different energy."
Speaking of energy, Kim got his wish of playing in front of a lot of fans when he played nine holes with friend and former Masters champion Zach Johnson. Kim said he did not know what to expect when he first teed off in front of so many people.
He was pleasantly surprised.
"To tell you the truth, I was nowhere near as nervous as I thought I would be," said Kim of his first tee shot. "I striped it down the middle and actually played the first four holes really well. Zach brings a big crowd with him, so it was nice to get that part out of the way."
Kim did have a bad shot on the fifth hole and heard some "opinions" from the gallery.
"I asked Zach, 'How do you tune stuff like that out?'" said Kim. "He said sometimes you can't, but you just have to put it out of your mind and move on to your next shot. Just concentrate on that next shot."
Anyone Know a Shortcut?
Kim said getting to the course Monday was next to impossible with all the fans heading to the open practice.
"In a word it was crazy," said Kim. "There are only two ways in and everyone wants to park close. Thankfully, I saw some other pros take a shortcut down the median. I just followed their lead."
Kim is going to adjust his schedule on Tuesday to make sure he can get there early and avoid the traffic.
The Maize and Blue Nation
Kim was overwhelmed with the number of "Go Blues" he heard in Augusta on Monday. He said he must have heard it more than a thousand times during his practice round.
"It just makes me so proud to be able to represent this university," said Kim. "There were Maize and Blue shirts and hats following me today. It is just too amazing to see how far the reach of our fans goes."
Soaking It Up
For the fourth straight day, Kim talked to as many professional players as he could while on the practice range. Monday's list included two-time Masters champions (1985, '95) Ben Crenshaw, Dustin Johnson and Nick Watney.
"It is just so surreal to be on a driving range and hitting balls with some of the game's top players," said Kim. "I am just trying to learn as much as I can from them -- no matter how little the advice is."
Got a Pen?
Kim said he must have signed more than one hundred autographs today, something he is not really used to -- especially being an amateur.
"There is a fenced off area for little kids to get autographs by the driving range," said Kim. "It is crazy to hear them say, 'Sir? Sir, can you sign this.' I cannot imagine what Phil Mickelson and Tiger have to go through. For me, I just took it all in."
Kim added he keeps his autograph pretty simple.
"It's really just a big 'L' and a big 'K,' he said with a laugh. "There really isn't much to my name anyway."
Seeing an Old Friend
Kim saw former teammate Nick Pumford on the eighth hole of Monday's practice round. Pumford and his Georgia State team were given tickets following their participation in the Augusta State Invitational. Pumford, who serves as an assistant coach under Joe Inman, played at Michigan from 2006-09. Pumford and Kim helped the Wolverines make a semifinal appearance in the 2009 NCAA Finals.
The First for the Coach
Michigan coach Andrew Sapp has made the journey to Augusta and assistant coach Chris Whitten is expected to join him on Wednesday. This is Sapp's first trip to the Masters, having seen only the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open in person.
Two in the Field
A quick Masters tidbit -- U-M coach Andrew Sapp has two former players in the field -- Kim and former North Carolina player Mark Wilson, who has already won twice this year on the PGA Tour, at the Sony Open in Hawaii and the Waste Management Phoenix Open.
Making the Trek to Augusta
In addition to his family and friends, several of Kim's former teammates will be in attendance over the course of the week. Michael Slovitt, Ross Millman and Billy McKay are expected to be on hand, while former Wolverine Andy Matthews will visit on Wednesday.

Does anyone know if Trachelospermum Star Jasmine is popular with bees? I have purchased 6 of them with the hope they will provide a bit of nectar for my bees in spring.
Does anyone know if Trachelospermum Star Jasmine is popular with bees? I have purchased 6 of them with the hope they will provide a bit of nectar for my bees in spring.
Never seen a bee on it.
It is a common plant in the SE US, but as odfrank said, I too have never seen a bee on it. Nonetheless, it's a great plant for fragrance.
Star Jasmine is a widely planted vine down here in Central Texas, and I see bees on it quite a bit. Bad thing is it only blooms in spring. It should be getting going soon, so I'll try to find some and look closer. That fragrance IS gorgeous!
I have read that many people believe it to be poisonous to bees, but that opinion seems to be questionable. Any one else heard this? thanks
Thank You
jessamine. It mentions that all parts are poisonous. Here's a UK link for star jasmine -- it does claim that it will attract wild pollinators, but like others, I've never seen bees on it, and ours are just now starting to bloom. I'll look this weekend just in case! Fwiw, I bought a few bushes of "new zealand tea roses", a beautiful evergreen covered in small pink and white flowers -- when I looked it up, several web sites claimed this was an NZ name for the manuka bush! However, I've never seen ANY insect on those plants, not even the early spring butterflies.
1 TBH, started 4/09/14; 2 more added 9/15
I did check out the jasmine in our yard, and I've seen nary a pollinator during the day. However, last night I was out in the yard with a flashlight, and the jasmine was covered with moths! Apparently, it's pollinated by night-flyers. Right now, the ligustrum is blooming, and it is covered with bees, butterflies, and whatever else can find an open bloom.

Cisco's 'Intercloud': Playing Catch-Up, Says Cantor; Crowded Field, Says Needham
Shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO) are down 13 cents, or 0.6%, at $21.51, after the company this morning said it will spend $1 billion in the next two years to build out its data centers, and invest in engineering and marketing to offer cloud computing services in partnership with telcos and resellers.
The offering puts Cisco in competition with Amazon.com (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG), along with telcos such as Verizon Communications (VZ) and numerous other cloud services operators.
Cantor Fitzgerald's Brian White, who has a Buy rating on Cisco shares, and a $27.50 price target, writes that when he talked with the company a year ago at their user conference, "Cisco Live," about the prospect of offering cloud computing services, "the company clearly indicated they were not interested going down this path."
"Why the change of heart?" asks White.
"In our view, Cisco's IT competitors such as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), IBM (IBM), VMware (VMW) and others have aggressively rolled out their own cloud services, placing Cisco at a disadvantage in supporting the needs of its customers."
Adds White, "nce cloud services are generally offered via a subscription model, we would expect the revenue recognition model for Cisco Cloud Services to differ from Cisco's typical model of recognizing revenue when products are sold to customers.
Needham & Co.'s Richard Kugele, who follows shares of data center hosting operator Rackspace (RAX), and rates it a hold, thinks it's inevitable Cisco goes head to head against Amazon:
While CSCO certainly has strong relationships with telecommunications providers, we don't believe that $500M in incremental annual spending will dramatically change the competitive landscape. That said, the fact that another large IT company has joined the ranks of those currently racing to the cloud (such as MSFT, GOOG, IBM, HP, and of course AMZN) does potentially create heightened price competition and could further crowd out smaller players lacking IP differentiation. We estimate that AWS, which at least historically was comprised of mostly smaller scale enterprise customers (or departments of larger companies), could generate roughly $6-6.5B in cloud revenue for 2014, dwarfing all competitors. More importantly, their relentless new service roll-out schedule has radically changed their perception within the market for the better, allowing them to legitimately pitch for larger enterprise deals (such as the recent win with the CIA). While the article suggests that CSCO is not attempting to compete with Amazon, AWS' rapidly-expanding and improving suite of offerings make competition inevitable (even if it is via partners).
The move doesn't directly threaten Rackspace, but it raises the overall competitive profile of the hosting business, writes Kugele:
Regarding RAX, we suspect that competition with CSCO will largely be indirect, and instead come from telecommunications giants that are the customers of CSCO. We do not see CSCO as a player seeking acquisitions of Infrastructure-As-A-Service companies (such as RAX), but could see them focusing on higher-end-IP cloud companies that offer tighter software solutions (those tailored to particular applications, such as privately-held Virtustream, which has strong SAP in the cloud capabilities). Bottom line, the cloud continues to attract massive investment from the largest companies in IT, making an aggressive competitive landscape a permanent fixture for the foreseeable future.
Rackspace shares today are down 51 cents, or 1.5%, at $32.50.

BOAO, April 7 (Xinhua) -- President Xi Jinping said China will make contributions toward peace and common development in Asia and the world at an international forum that opened on Sunday.
As the world's largest developing country, China will stick to peaceful development and vigorously promote prosperity in both Asia and the world, Xi said when delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Boao Forum for Asia (BFA) Annual Conference 2013 in Boao, a coastal town in south China's Hainan Province.
"Countries, whether big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, should all contribute their share in maintaining and enhancing peace," Xi said.
No one should be allowed to throw a region into chaos for selfish gains, he said.
Xi pledged that China's development will bring even greater benefits to the rest of the world. "The more China grows, the more development opportunities it will create for the rest of Asia and the world."
In the coming five years, the country's imports will reach about 10 trillion U.S. dollars and its outbound investment will reach 500 billion dollars, according to the president. Its number of outbound tourists may exceed 400 million.
Xi also said China will continue to properly handle differences and frictions with relevant nations.
While upholding its sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, China will maintain good relations with its neighbors, as well as maintain overall peace and stability in the region, he said.
This marked Xi's first appearance at a multilateral diplomatic meeting in China since he was elected president in March. He recently completed his first foreign tour as China's president, having visited Russia, Tanzania, South Africa and the Republic of the Congo, and he attended the fifth BRICS summit in Durban, South Africa.
In a group interview held with reporters from BRICS countries before the visit, Xi said China will unswervingly follow a path of peaceful development.
When meeting with foreign experts in December, he also stated that China will never pursue hegemony or expansionism.
Xi's speech demonstrates an overlap in the "Chinese dream" of national rejuvenation and the global goals of peace and prosperity, said Wang Yizhou, deputy dean of the school of International Relations under Peking University.
"China is contributing to building a platform for cooperation, rather than undercutting others' efforts to develop," he said, adding that the establishment of mechanisms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the free trade area launched by China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, has played an important role in maintaining peace and development.
"China is seeking a peaceful environment to develop itself, and it is safeguarding world peace through its own development. The sides are complementary," Wang said.
Vuk Jeremic, president of the United Nations General Assembly, said in his speech delivered at the same ceremony that the world should cultivate the virtue of benevolence in international relations.
The key to China's endurance can be found in the teachings of Confucius, who wrote of the virtue of benevolence as a sincere consideration for fellow human beings and a sense of reverence and compassion based on the equal dignity of each member in a community of shared values, he said.
As President Xi said, the world is far from peaceful. Hot spot issues such as tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the crisis in Syria and the Iranian nuclear issue, as well as non-traditional threats regarding energy and environmental issues, still exist, said Yang Bojiang, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
"Although China advocates that neighbors wish each other well just as loved ones do to each other, some countries are not showing clear political and strategic road maps, regardless of the interests of other countries, and they are bringing uncertainties to regional peace and stability," Yang said.
Experts said Xi's speech suggests that China will not compromise on its core interests regarding sovereignty and territorial integrity, but the country will work to resolve differences and frictions through dialogue.
"China will continue to act as 'an anchor of peace' in the international arena," Wang said.

Panax Ginseng Shows High Level Cardiovascular Protection
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, also known as red ginseng, is a fine quality preparation of an adaptogenic herb, one that helps your body cope with stress. It is good for anyone with adrenal fatigue, especially if sex drive or sex performance ability has declined. It is particularly rejuvenating to the male system. One study of men over the age of 55 showed that regular use of Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer significantly reduced all-cause mortality.
A new study documents that Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer protects heart cells from oxygen-deprivation free radical damage and significantly reduces the amount of damage from experimentally induced heart attack.
It has been known for some time that Panax ginseng can improve the production of nitric oxide, in turn helping arteries relax and blood flow better. Another new study with spontaneously hypertensive rats found that Panax ginseng induced the release of friendly nitric oxide (eNOS), improved the health of arterial blood vessels, and eliminated their high blood pressure.
A trial giving 2,000 mg per day for eight weeks to men with erectile dysfunction found that Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer significantly improved the problem. Better sexual function for men reflects better circulation and better release of nitric oxide.
Collectively, these studies show that Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer is a cardio-friendly nutrient that enhances circulation while offering protection to your heart. It is likely to be of high value for individuals who are excessively stressed and struggling with fatigue.

Red Simpson
Simpson was working at the Wagon Wheel in Lamont when Fuzzy Owen saw him and arranged for Simpson to work at his Clover Club as a piano player. He then got a job replacing Buck Owens at the Blackboard Club on weekends. Simpson was influenced by Owens, Merle Haggard, and Bill Woods, who asked Red if he would write a song about driving trucks. (By the time Simpson handed him four truck songs, however, Woods had stopped recording.) Simpson began writing songs with Buck Owens in 1962, including the Top Ten hit "Gonna Have Love."
In 1965, Capitol's Ken Nelson was looking for someone to record some songs about trucking. His first choice was Haggard, who wasn't interested, but Simpson readily agreed. His first, Tommy Collins' "Roll, Truck, Roll," became a Top 40 country hit and Simpson recorded an album of the same name. That year he offered up two more trucking songs, both of which made it to the Top 50 or beyond. As a songwriter, he scored his first number one hit with "Sam's Place," recorded by Buck Owens. After that, Simpson decided to become a full-time writer. He returned to performing in 1971 with his Top Five hit "I'm a Truck," which had been written by postman Bob Staunton.
In 1972, he debuted on the Grand Ole Opry and had two more "truck" hits for Capitol. In 1976, Simpson signed to Warner Bros. and released "Truck Driver's Heaven." The following year, he teamed up with Lorraine Walden for a series of duets that included "Truck Driver Man and Wife." In 1979, Simpson appeared for the last time on the charts with "The Flying Saucer Man and the Truck Driver." Haggard recorded his song "Lucky Old Colorado" in 1988; later that year Simpson was diagnosed with skin cancer and underwent surgery, but he fully recovered and continued his writing and performing career. Featuring 14 new songs, The Bard of Bakersfield was Simpson's first album in nearly a quarter century, arriving on the Windsor Music label in 2005. Simpson died in Bakersfield in January 2016 from complications of a heart attack; he was 81 years old. ~ Sandra Brennan

Controlled by Hedgies—-but for how long?
Even though I have some understanding of the game hedge funds play so ably with AAPL, I am still impressed by the length of time they can keep a good stock like Apple's down.
Given how undervalued AAPL is, I would expect that there would be great temptation for hedge funds to let AAPL ride much higher before knocking it down again. Wouldn't riding a 25% gap up between floor and ceiling be preferable to a mere 5-10% before they short and pound it down again? Or is it that the hedgies figure that several 5-10% rides can be had for each potential 25% ride? And perhaps by keeping AAPL further underwater it has greater buoyancy for the ride up and therefore is a more predictable bet?
I believe that AFB estimates of $300 near-term and $400 farther out in time (DT et al) make fundamentally good sense, but such goals are way overdue already and that makes me wonder if the market professionals might be able to keep AAPL far underwater until Apple finally has a run of bad luck and we no longer have such strong fundamentals on our side. How long can they keep this up?
I would appreciate it if those AFBers who have a better understanding of Wall Street than I could offer some insight into this situation. I worry that 6-12 months more of this market manipulation may run out the clock on us (and my Jan '11 calls!).
- [ Ignore ]
I have been reading here since 2006. Yours is a theme repeated often. I've read the best of the best here and all I can say is to roll those options up and out and pray with the rest of us.
The success of your calls, and all those other future bets, including leaps, will cost some entity money. Hedge Funds have a vested interest in slowing things down so a lot more positions will be closed before they have to pay out.
I agree that this is their intent.
But would any AFBers care to post a guess as to how long the major market players can keep AAPL in the $240-$280 range before its profit-generated buoyancy pops AAPL above $300?

IMO they will start getting some pretty good metrics on Apple's qtr toward the beginning of October until then the can play the lack of news either side of the trade. Once hard data starts rolling in they place their bigger bets and either cash out before the actual announcement. The only unknown is what Apple says at special events. So the Sep/Oct iPod special event could serve as a catalyst for a trade.
IMO there is no conviction on either side. no buyers or seller. The volume is amazingly low. We have been given data points, earnings and numbers and we are $22 below last qtrs stock price. The "hedgies" have been keeping a low profile as far as I am concerned. To many low volume days where they could have hammered to stock and they haven't. Just my .02
I am thinking about getting fitted for a bear suit today. Dang, to hot in Ga to be a bear. :bugeyed:
Adversity does not just build character, it reveals it.
Pats, thanks for the timeline perspective. It makes a lot of sense and gives me some hope for my Jan '11 calls.

Bold brows may be having a moment, but there's nothing novel about well-shaped arches. Happily, it's never been easier to get elegant brows. Our latest crush: this non-smudging, waterproof eyebrow pencil. The neutral hue works for all hair colors, and the nourishing formula actually feeds hair follicles for maximum fullness.
I love this product! I'd never tried an eyebrow pencil before, but this is so easy to use and never looks too dark. I have dark blonde hair and fair skin and love the way my brows look. I am going to continue buying this product. I highly recommend trying it!5
The color worked well on me (I have black hair), but I think it would've worked well on hair that is much lighter than mine as well. It's buildable, and doesn't go on too dark so there is no need to worry about being too heavy handed. It's also very convenient to have the brush on the other end to groom your brows before or after.5

Wrong Way Driver Sentenced
A woman who drove the wrong way while drunk on the 52 was sentenced Tuesday to six years in state prison. She caused a head-on crash that killed the other driver. April Carole Thompson, 23, pleaded guilty in June to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. Deputy District Attorney Michael Runyon said Thompson was driving west in an eastbound lane of 52 about 1 a.m. Dec. 29 when her Chevrolet truck crashed head-on into a 1970 Volkswagen Beetle driven by 25-year-old Jayme Alan Midlam. Midlam died at the scene, and Thompson was treated at a hospital for moderate injuries. After the crash, Thompson tried to back out of the wreckage, but was unsuccessful, according to court testimony. Thompson's blood-alcohol level was estimated to be .24 or .25 percent -- three times the legal limit for driving -- at the time of the collision.

/// Yandex Co-founder Ilya Segalovich Passes Away
Johannes Simon, Getty Images News Yandex co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Ilya Segalovich died yesterday at the age of 48. He had been responding well to treatment for cancer when he collapsed into a coma on Wednesday with no sign of brain activity. Yandex had initially reported Segalovich had passed away , but corrected the statement later in the day. He was removed from life support yesterday when doctors detected blood changes that were incompatible with life. Segalovich co-founded Yandex with CEO Arkady Volozh in 1997, and the search engine became the so-called Google of Russia. It raised $1.3 billion in an IPO on the Nasdaq Stock Market in May 2011, and currently has a $10 billion dollar valuation and a 62 percent market share in Russia.

I wish the Giants could acquire the Jets DC Pettine.
He chose not to resign extension with the Jets. Maybe to seek a HC position?
I would love to have him as our DC instead of PFewell 'Fool'.
He knows how how to make half time adjustments after observing and recognizing what the other team is trying to do.
As bad as the Jets are, he has helped make the Jets defense top ten.
He is more aggressive and I feel gets more effective results with schemes.
