Oregon fishing season coming up soon
SALEM, Ore. - For many Oregon anglers, the 2014 trout season officially kicks off on Saturday, April 26 with the opening of hundreds of miles of rivers and streams and many lakes around the state.
While many lakes and some rivers and streams are open to trout fishing year-round in Oregon, the early trout opener in April continues to be a tradition with many families, and the first chance of the year to fish several popular locations, including:
- Hyatt Lake and Howard Prairie Reservoir in Jackson County, and Hemlock Lake in Douglas County.
- Large portions of the Willamette, Santiam and McKenzie rivers and many small streams in the Willamette Valley.
- Crane Prairie Reservoir, Big Lava Lake, South Twin, Wickiup, Odell and other Central Oregon lakes.
- Krumbo and Pilcher reservoirs, Wood and Powder rivers and portions of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in the southeastern part of the state.
According to Mike Gauvin, ODFW recreational fisheries manager, the April 26 opener extends what already has been a strong start to the trout fishing season.
"ODFW has been stocking trout and sponsoring Family Fishing Events since March, and the April opener increases the opportunities for anglers across the state," Gauvin said.
For anglers getting ready to hit the water, ODFW offers a lot of information to get started fishing or deciding where to go, including:
- Trout stocking schedules – includes maps showing you how to get to each stocking location
- The Recreation Report – weekly updates from agency experts on the latest fishing conditions
- Trout Fishing in Oregon – how to fish for trout in rivers and lakes
- Easy Angling Oregon – 101 great places for newcomers and families to fish
- Family Fishing Events – bring the whole family, we'll provide the fish, the gear, and plenty of encouragement
- Local and Regional Guides – 50 places to fish close to Portland, Bend, Roseburg, and Medford
Anglers should check the 2014 Sport Fishing Regulations for even more water bodies that open April 26. In addition, many more rivers and streams will open for trout fishing on Saturday, May 24.

... with a $1000 budget what do you think would be the best performance mods. (I will buy used as I don't care about that)
The SCT/Predator tuner the guys at the dyno will give you can be reprogrammed again later (they're about $400 + another couple hundred for dyno time) so a tune will only really give you a baseline reading, and a talking point later when referring to how far you've come... You may want to save that one for later after you have more stuff as it's gonna eat up that budget and only do so much for performance feel without better parts.
For better response and power delivery you may want to look into polyurethane engine mounts... My manual went from dropping 1000k+ rpms between shifts to around 500rpms. Acceleration was crispier because of 'em too. Just a warning on that though; your car may not play cds anymore! The engine vibrations reverberate through the whole frame and the cd player skipped so much I couldn't use it anymore.
And handling could be improved with springs (I have Eibach pro kit springs 1.5in drop), and you might also look into SVT shocks while the car's apart and getting the springs ( they're about 1.5in lower than what you have already) they'll round out the suspension without having to go to a more hardcore suspension setup... And a lowered Focus is already a VERY competent corner-carver!

Jade Empire - SE Reviews @ Gamepyre, NZ Gamer
Jade Empire: Special Edition has been reviewed at Gamepyre, with a score of 84%, covering the usual issues in a short multi-page format. Here's a clip:
The gameplay in this game is similar to Knights of the Old Republic, although more action-oriented. From the very beginning of the game, you're in combat. Sure, there are the slow times, but what RPG doesn't have those? The combat system feels pretty standard at first, until you get a bit into the game.
NZ Gamer is similarly placed with a score of 8/10:
Yes it is standard fare for an RPG (and I suppose it is one of those questions we all ask ourselves: who will be the first to take RPGs to the next new level?), but there is so much about this game that is done well, that you're not too bothered by what cliché you do come across. For starters, the characters are absolutely superb. Everyone has a story to tell, even the crazy old man down on the beach; all you have to do is ask. And they're interesting stories, all quite different. What's more, the voice acting and dialogue is wonderful. It's especially great when people speak to you in different languages, such as Tho Fan, the Old Tongue. It makes you realise how games in the past really didn't get this bit right. How could you travel the length and breadth of a huge world, only to have everyone speak to you in your language? Oh, and I checked the credits, and was pleased to have one suspicion confirmed: I don't want to completely give it away, but let's just say that Firefly and Serenity fans will get an extra good vibe out of one cameo in particular.

Potential foundation issues
5 Attachment(s)
I am hoping this thread will find someone who specializes in foundation repair, structural engineering, etc. I bought a new home in Oklahoma approximately 1 year ago. About 1-2 months ago I started walking around the house putting together a list of repairs for the builder since the warranty is about to expire (expires February 27th). One of the things I noticed was some cracking in the brick mortar above the garage. The builder came by last week and I pointed out all of my issues. When I showed him the cracks in the brick mortar he said that this cracking was likely cosmetic. Yesterday I was outside again and I noticed additional cracking in both the brick and the brick mortar on the back of my house. I am not sure if this is something I missed during my initial walk through or if this is a problem that has developed in the last several weeks, but these cracks appear to be much more severe than those on the garage. I am going to post pictures of the newer cracks and would appreciate any thoughts you might have. On the inside of the house we have had two tiles that had minor cracks in one of our bathrooms. These tiles were located near the outside edge of the house. We also have a large crack in the drywall in our livingroom, but this appears to be located where our drywall meets a piece or quarter round. I will post pictures of this as well. My main questions are what should I do to ensure that I have covered myself so that I don't get stuck holding the bill on this deal? Since the home is still in the one year warranty period I am assuming the builder will be responsible for fixing the issue. Should I have a structural engineer document the problems and then submit his findings to the builder? If I do hire a structural engineer and he finds problems is the builder obligated to fix them? Thanks for any help you can provide.
It's very hard to diagnose something like this from the internet. If you could get a clear picture of the foundation from inside & outside, that may help more.
I don't think the drywall corner bead issue is related.
It appears the mortar used may have been too stong.
I would suggest having these issues taken care of by the builder now before you're left holding the bag. I wouldn't worry so much about the structure of the brick, as it's only a veneer, but it can be a fairly expensive repair to pay for none-the-less.
Thanks. The actual foundation is fairly visible on the outside of the house. The house actually sits quite high off of the ground in most spots. Just visually looking at what I can see of the foundation I have not seen cracks in the foundation itself. If you would like I can post pictures of the foundation near where the cracking in the bricks is occurring.
when i see cracks thru brick not just following the mortar line i think stress. either settling or a top load thats not supposed to be there. brick is a veneer not a load carrying element, may be some of the ceiling load is sitting on that corner
The legal issue of whether or not the builder is responsible is best suited for an attorney, not a DIY site. As for brick cracking, the previous poster correctly noted that this is almost certainly a veneer brick as opposed to a structural brick, since residential construction rarely uses brick as a structural element.
I investigated about a dozen cases of brick cracking in the Gulf Coast region. Based on my personal experience, and literature review, I believe that the following are common causes of brick and mortar cracking:
1. Foundation settlement. Differential settlement causes stresses on veneer brick that typically shows up in the form of cracking. Foundation settlement diagnosis requires a careful, accurate elevation survey of the foundation, and analysis of foundation cracking and displacement.
2. Use of excessively strong mortar. The ancient Roman mix for mortar was one part sand, one part lime, and one part water. This mix was used up until the early 1900's, and resulted in a soft, pliable mortar that was capable of yielding to stress and self healing of cracks. For a variety of reasons, mortar mixes began to include Portland cement beginning in the early 1900's, and now most mixes use Portland cement, which results in a strong, brittle, easily cracked mix. The problem is that the mortar is stronger than the brick, hence when expansion/contraction occurs due to thermal stress, moisture changes, or displacement of the foundation, the mortar does not want to yield, hence transfers stress to the brick, which can crack.
3. Inadequate brick ties. The brick is connected to the house framing using brick ties. The best ties have the ability to slide, which allows the relatively rigid veneer to move under load. Improperly selected, or improperly installed ties can be very rigid, and may not allow movement of the veneer, resulting in cracking.
4. Inadequate moisture control procedures. Brick is a porous material, so you are going to get moisture penetration through the brick. Proper design allows for this, and includes measures such as weep holes to allow trapped moisture to escape. Improperly designed brick veneer with no provision for moisture escape are likely to result in dimensional changes due to moisture behind the brick, which can result in cracking.
5. Thermal stress. Areas subject to large annual fluctuations in temperature and sunshine are going to move due to thermal stress. This stress must be accommodated through proper brick ties, proper mortar design, and installation of expansion joints as needed. Lack of proper design can result in cracking.
6. Improper brick selection. I have seen houses built using interior brick, which is too porous for exterior use.
There are other causes of cracking, but those six seem to be the most common. In order to know the actual cause of the cracking in your house, you need to hire a local brick expert to perform an investigation and write a report. You are almost certainly going to need such a report when it comes time to discuss repair with the builder.
If it were my house, and the cut off date was Feb 27, and the builder tried to blow it off, I'd be on the horn with my lawyer tomorrow morning, asking how do I make sure the claim is made official, how do I document it, etc.
That crack, after a year? Structural or not, I would never accept that.
You need to have a PIERING COMPANY look at this. The weight may be causing settling in poor soil.
Thanks for that write-up Dan. Very interesting, and certainly factual. I also agree that I would take as many photos of all cracked surfaces to an attorney ASAP. The reason-If the attorney feels that that you may have a case, and the builder's warranty is running out, then the attorney can legally record/file/date the photos from you. You may have to sign a deposition stating you took the photos, they were not "doctored" in any manner, and they were of/within the structure you recently bought--all that legal stuff. As Ben Franklin once said--an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Most of the time. Good Luck, David

If there was ever a time for a rebound in the retail video games market, it's right now.
Retail sales continue slumping, and August isn't expected to be any better. Take July, for example, where only three games released in 2012 finished among the top 10 in software sales (NCAA Football 13, Lego Batman 2, Amazing Spider-Man).
Has there been one disc-delivered title that's generated overwhelmingly positive buzz so far? In 2010, we had Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 2. Last year, Portal 2 lead a strong selection of games during the first several months.
This year? We thought it might be Mass Effect 3, until the raging debate about the game's ending. Maybe it's Diablo III, or even Max Payne 3? Would you trade the first eight months of 2012 for last year, or the year before? That would be a difficult choice.
FALL GAMES PREVIEW: The schedule
We even had a new platform launch in PlayStation Vita back in February. The only problem is video game players haven't heard much from it since.
Meanwhile, digital titles continue to make their mark. Between Xbox 360 (Minecraft, Fez, Trials: Evolution), PlayStation 3 (Journey, Papo & Yo) PlayStation Vita (Sound Shapes, Super Stardust Delta) and mobile devices (Angry Birds Space, Pocket Planes, Saturday Morning RPG), not only do players have more creative, memorable titles on digital platforms, but there's the bonus of lower prices.
Over the next four months, retail video games reclaim the spotlight, once again engaging players as well as testing their bank accounts.
Here are some of the key questions heading into the fall season, beginning with the biggest of all:
1. What can we expect from the Wii U?
That depends on where Nintendo plans to price its next-generation console, which brings the company up to speed on high-definition visuals as well as adds a tablet-style game controller. Nintendo is expected to unveil a release date, pricing and details on a launch lineup during a New York event next month.
Even with a favorable price, the odds of approaching the Wii's trajectory (95 million sold worldwide) is going to be a challenge. "It's clear that there's a huge appetite from the audience for something new," says John Davison, vice president of programming at GameSpot. "My concern is that appetite is mostly from the real core gamer audience, and the audience that Nintendo has traditionally been successful in courting with the Wii and DS have already moved on. They're already playing games on their iPads and ... Android tablets, and their phones. Their need is now being served by something else."
Cue the change in strategy for Nintendo, as they push the Wii U as a device better suited to core gamers with a lineup to match. Titles slated to appear on Wii U include Batman: Arkham City, Assassin's Creed III and Aliens: Colonial Marines. Nintendo will also have a holiday season free of next-generation rivals.
"Nintendo has the advantage of launching without much competition in the home console space," says Geoff Keighley of GameTrailers. "I expect the Wii U will perform well this holiday season. The bigger challenge will come in 2013 when so many big games come out for the Xbox 360 and PS3 and perhaps not for the Wii U. So far we haven't heard if games like BioShock and Dead Space 3 will be on Wii U."
During its event next month, Nintendo could also reveal additional uses for its tablet controller, which boasts near-field communication tech, motion and gyro sensors, and a camera.
Another plus for the Wii U: the Nintendo first-party lineup that could feature Wii Fit, New Super Mario Bros., and the casual title NintendoLand.
2. Will we get price drops for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360?
Consumers are certainly due another reduction in price. "If you look at the previous generations, when the Playstation 2 dropped in price, it was much sooner in the life cycle than we're seeing right now," says Davison. "Both PS3 and Xbox have been at the price point that they are for way longer than they probably deserve to be."
And with rumors swirling about new consoles from Microsoft and Sony launching next year, as well as the arrival of Wii U, this might be a great time to slash costs. Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter says a cut in the Xbox 360 price will depend on Nintendo.
"If the Wii U is $400, Microsoft may not feel compelled to cut price," says Pachter. "If it's $300 or below, a price cut for the Xbox 360 is likely. Microsoft can offer bundles of a 360 plus Kinect plus a game for $300, and would be very competitive with the Wii U."
Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divnich agrees. "Microsoft has the strongest momentum and I would expect them to take a 'wait and see' approach before they enact any price cuts or outrageously cheap hardware bundles."
As for Sony? "The PS3 desperately needs a price cut, but I find it difficult to predict what Sony will or will not do," says Colin Sebastian of Baird Research. It appears Sony is leaning toward maintaining the PS3's price, based on comments from Sony Worldwide Studios' Shuhei Yoshida in an Eurogamer interview. "We are very happy with where we are in terms of PS3: the services, games and the pricing included."
3. Is there any hope for a PlayStation Vita resurgence?
A report from Joystiq confirmed sales of the Sony handheld topped 2.2 million as of June 30. Taking into account the 1.2 million sold globally a week into its U.S. arrival, that means Sony only sold an additional 1 million handhelds in the following four months.
Despite the Vita boasting incredible technical power, the slump is expected to continue. "I don't think Vita will sell particularly well at the current price, given that there is limited software support so far, and given competition from the (Nintendo) 3DS at lower price points," says Pachter. "It is likely to be priced higher than the entry level 360 and PS3, and that seems too expensive for a holiday gift."
Although Sony has been quick to dismiss the notion of a price cut, expect the paltry software lineup to beef up with titles such as Assassin's Creed Liberation and Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified making their debuts. However, even that might not be enough to save Vita. "The biggest hurdle Vita faces is convincing consumers to spend $40 or $50 on a handheld game when they can pretty good experiences on iPad or iPhone for a few dollars," says Keighley. "It's going to be very hard for Vita to compete."
4. Is Call of Duty showing signs of a slowdown?
Early on, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 marched to another record-setting pace, netting Activision $1 billion in its first 16 days of availability. However, the first-person shooter's momentum seems to show signs of cooling off.
"Call of Duty is absolutely slowing down, but is still selling phenomenally well," says Pachter, who predicts MW3 has sold roughly 23 million copies to date. By comparison, chief rival Battlefield 3 has shipped 15 million.
Also, Keighley points out standalone downloadable content "is not selling as well as in the past."
Expect this year's arrival of Call of Duty: Black Ops II to jump ahead of MW3. "To Treyarch's credit, they're being quite bold with what they're changing ... this time," says Davison. "There was some benefit to Battlefield 3 being so strong last year. It put a fire under the COD franchise, and I think Black Ops II stands a chance of being very strong."
The only potential hurdle to Black Ops II is likely the overall sluggishness of the retail video game industry. "If Call of Duty: Black Ops II fails to produce yearly growth, it would be a sign of the weakness in the high definition video game space and not necessarily a sign of weakness for the Call of Duty brand," says Divnich.
5. Which title is poised to become this fall's surprise hit?
Borderlands 2 might not outsell the likes of Black Ops II, Halo 4 or Assassin's Creed III, but it definitely won't be outgunned. The first game claimed to boast 18 million firearms, and as hard as it is to believe, Borderlands 2 is expected to be even bigger. "I think Borderlands as a franchise has been consistently underestimated," says Davison. "It's just such a big and rewarding game for people, it's going to really dominate the conversation."
In October, one of the rare original titles takes stage: Bethesda Softworks' first-person adventure Dishonored. "It reminds me a lot of BioShock's twisted world and it combines the best of the stealth and action genres," says Keighley. "You're a supernatural assassin and the gameplay changes based on how you want to approach each mission."

Nevermind the fact that whoever built this video blatantly placed the wrong jersey number adjacent to Voracek's name in his title, and just focus on what Jakub's saying here --
Voracek spoke with the press earlier today and told them he's feeling fine. Which is a relief considering the devastating blow he received from Niklas Kronwall yesterday shook his friggin' brainstem.
He's not feeling woozy, or any of the many symptoms that would suggest he's suffered a brain injury/concussion. But please note that does not mean he won't feel anything tomorrow morning or even the day after that.
Concussions are funny like that. Symptoms can hibernate and rise up later on. More importantly, I'm just glad he's feeling good now and in high spirits.
Jakub tells the press that he thinks the hit was "clean". He admitted he had his head down when the blow was administered. Though it was a "tough hit to take", Voracek firmly believes those hits should remain in the game.
And he's right.
Many of us were upset with Kronwall, which is understandable. Niklas could have knocked Jakub off the puck in a less aggressive way, but hockey's hockey. It's a contact sport. The Wings were down a goal, and Kronwall set the tone with the carnality that is deep-rooted in every fiber which makes it hockey.
Voracek may have been in a vulnerable position, but he put himself there. The Wall of Kron decided to expose it. Had that been a Flyer delivering the smack on a Wing, we all would have stiffened our drawers and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on their sweater.
Then again, had that been a Flyer.....Shanahan may have sentenced the aggressor to life in prison.

ABC News today released a promotional video of a Nov. 14 special that features Diane Sawyer speaking with U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in what would be her first media interview since she was shot in the head in January.
The Arizona congresswoman will appear with her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly.
Jaimee Rose of The Arizona Republic reports that the extent of the interview is not clear, although anything Giffords says would be her first comments to the media since she suffered a major head wound in the Jan. 8 assassination attempt near Tucson that killed six and injured 12 others. Giffords' chief of staff stressed that "it was not a full-length interview."
The sit-down took place in October at Kelly's home near Houston. ABC News declined to comment on how much time Sawyer spent with Giffords or to say more about the program, "citing a desire to keep details about Sawyer's exclusive access to Giffords quiet for now," Rose tells us.
The commercial shows Giffords mouthing at least one word, but the audio is obscured by a voice-over. The program will air the day before the publication of Giffords' and Kelly's joint memoirs, Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope.
Watch the promo.
Giffords is continuing her recovery from the wound to her brain, which compromised her speaking abilities and movement on the right side of her body.
Rose says Giffords' staff has declined interview requests from The Arizona Republic and USA TODAY, saying that she is not ready to speak to the press.

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon Getting Divorced?!
Sources say Mariah Carey and "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon are headed for a split and "living separately" after she hired security to keep him away from other women.
According to the NY Post, Mariah and Nick are separating after six years of marriage.
"He hasn't been staying at their home. He's been living out of hotels. They're fighting a lot."
Allegedly, Mariah suspected Nick of cheating. And when he hosted pool parties in Las Vegas earlier this year, Mariah sent a security guard to keep watch over her husband. "The security guard wasn't there to keep the girls away from him. It was to keep him away from the girls."
Mariah also didn't want Nick drinking while at the Vegas gigs because she felt he "gets in trouble when he drinks."
Thirty-three-year-old Nick and 45-year-old Mariah married in 2008. They became parents in 2010 to twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe.
Rumors swirled this week that the couple were set to officially announce their breakup, and that Nick had been staying at his grandparents' house during a trial separation.
Tell-tale?: In July, they put their $13 million Bel Air mansion up for sale.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
From time to time, many well meaning borrowers fall behind on their bill payments. It may be that the borrower has lost his or her job, has run into unexpected expenses or has simply borrowed more money than he or she can afford to repay. Whatever the reason, many borrowers who fall behind in their payments begin to receive phone calls from persistent debt collectors. Often, these calls come at inopportune times and can feel like harassment because the debt collectors can be very assertive.
The law recognizes that creditors need to be repaid the money which they are owed by borrowers and does not erase the debt. However, the law does recognize that the borrower should be treated fairly. In order to help ensure that borrowers are treated fairly, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was enacted.
What is Covered by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act?
The Act applies to all personal household debts such as car loans, medical bills and, credit card bills. It does not apply to business debts.
Which Methods of Debt Collection are Regulated by the Act?
The Act allows a debt collector to contact a borrower by any method including telephone, fax, mail or in person. However, the debt collector cannot call you at inconvenient times or places. An inconvenient time is defined as before 8 am or after 9 pm. An inconvenient place could be a person's place of employment if the debt collector knows that an employer would be unhappy with such contact.
You can also limit how a debt collector contacts you by writing the collector a letter. If you write a letter stating that you do not want the debt collector to contact you any further then the debt collector may send you one more letter acknowledging receipt of your letter and informing you of how he or she intends to proceed. For example, the letter might state that they intend to file a lawsuit against you for the money owed.
A debt collector may not discuss your debts with anyone other than you or your attorney. A collector could contact your friends or family to try and find out your whereabouts and how to contact you but a collector may not disclosure the fact that you owe money.
Most importantly, a debt collector may not harass you by threatening violence, using profanity or threatening to publicize your debt. Likewise, a debt collector may not be untruthful with you in an effort to collect money by claiming that you will be arrested or by sending you papers that appear to be from a court or government agency that are not in fact from one of those entities.
What Can You Do if You Believe the Act Has Been Violated?
You have several options available to you if you believe a debt collector has violated the law. You can report any alleged violations to your state's Attorney General's office or to the Federal Trade Commission. Either office can help you determine if the actions that you describe by the debt collector are against the law and will allow you to file a complaint against a debt collector.
You also have the right to sue a debt collector in court for alleged violations of the Act. You can do this individually or as part of a class action group against a particular debt collector. Find experienced creditor harassment lawyers here.
It can be very stressful to owe money. Debt collectors have a legitimate role in trying to collect on a debt for a creditor who is legally entitled to the money that was lent. However, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act makes sure that the debt collector's actions are free from harassment, intimidation and illegal practices to protect the rights of the borrower.
Speak to an Experienced Creditors Rights Attorney Today
This article is intended to be helpful and informative. But even common legal matters can become complex and stressful. A qualified creditors rights lawyer can address your particular legal needs, explain the law, and represent you in court. Take the first step now and contact a local creditors rights attorney to discuss your specific legal situation.

Increased battery discharge/Clock resetting
I've just bought a BMW 530i 2006 used with 17,000 miles. When I turn on the car I get a message: "Increased battery discharge" and also my clock gets RESET all THE TIME
I turn off the lights and everything before I turn off the car - so that's not a problem.
What can I do here? Should I set up an appointment with a BMW center or is there a way to fix this problem? Help
Just making sure, but I assume you do not leave anything plugged into any of the outlets (Nav, Ipod, etc.)? If anything, it looks like you're still under the factory warranty so try taking it in. Just make sure the car consistently replicates the problem or that you can at least replicate it in front of them.

2004 BMW 530i (retired)
I had the same problem and solve it myself using some common sense and searching this forums and e60.net. I did bring it in to the dealer and they said I need to drive 30 miles day to fully charge the battery and also told me to purchase a BMW battery tender to charge it every other day if I don't drive it daily. I told them i would get an electrical car instead if I need to plug into the outlet every other day.
Here is what I did and now the car sit in the garage for over 2 weeks and the battery doesn't discharge or the need to reset the clock every other day when i first got the car.
Charge the car's battery either using a battery charger or take a long trip to fully charge the battery.
The Key is to remember to lock the car using the alarm system/the remote key. This sound stupid because I don't lock my car since it's in the locked garage but this is the culprit for draining the battery since car doesn't want to go into sleep mode. I had no problem on any other cars i owned since they always parked inside our garage.
Try to store you comfort access key(if applicable to you) as far as possible because it's transmitting a signal and it will drain the battery if it's within range.
This works for me and hope it works for you too. I had plenty of headache after purchasing a 70k car and the idea of a battery keep dying after a week and need a jump to start the car. it was embarrissing
Good luck

You're right. My key was close to my car. Last night I put it further away and this morning I didn't get the message So basically I have to store the key as further away from the car... Pretty weird...would getting a new key help out or there is no way to actually fix this problem? Thanks for the help and the seat belt DOES turn off after annoying the hell out of you
How far should the key be away from the car? My garage is about 10 feet from my kitchen. Curious if it'll be transmitting and draining the battery?
(Note: My car hasn't been delivered yet. Hence the "pre-BMW" posts.)
2006 BMW 750Li Power Drain Issues and Comfort Access
I recently had a dead battery in my 2006 750, replaced it, and within hours the brand new battery was completely dead. BMW has since diagnosed the problem as an issue with my Comfort Access, and they have replaced the "handles". Yet, within a day or so the vehicle had noticeable power issues again. I received a P Brake Fault, and a Power Window Fault. Moreover, the car starts very hard - several slow cranks before firing ... I feel as though the problem has been improved, but still exists and I am a day or so away from a completely dead battery.
I have seen many threads on this site addressing this issue, but I have not seen a post that addresses this problem conclusively. BMW quickly diagnosed that the car was not "hibernating" properly and determine to replace the handles ... but that has not fully solved the problem.
Other suggestions I have seen on the web include, replacing the Comfort access module, upgrading the vehicle software, replacing the master computer replacing the IBS (intelligent battery sensor), and replacing the foot well control module ... has anyone had more or less success with these or any other suggestions?
Additional info related to my problem ... the car takes 17 minutes to "fully" sleep after locking (with CA or FOB). I can observe this since the light on the seat base adjustment inside the car remains lit for 17 minutes. Additionally, I hear noise coming from the trunk for several minutes - Navigation DVD? 16 minutes after the car is locked, the sound returns, and the start button illuminates .. and then everything shuts off after a little more a minute (17 minutes total from lock to sleep). I feel the real drain is coming from the unit in the trunk, but I think that is the cause of the drain, not the problem with the car entering hibernation.
Lastly, I just purchased a new Blackberry Curve that is bluetooth connected. I never put the FOB in the dash (does is really need to be charged that way?), and I never press the start button twice to kill the motor - but, I always lock the car with the CA handles on the car. Should I use a different routine to stop the motor and lock the car? I feel as though I am using the CA as billed, but for some reason I am experiencing these problems. I tend to think there is a new electronic malfunction somewhere (it worked well for several years), but it could always be improper use on my part - please, let me know if you recognize "user fault" in my routine.
Thanks for your time.
I had this issue, but it took the car sitting in the garage unstarted for about 2 weeks for the "wierdness" to start. And short trips to the grocery store won't help charge the battery back to full charge. I invested $40 in a Battery Tender Plus (as much as I hate having to charge the battery on a $60K car ) If the car is going to sit undriven for more than afew days, I plug it in. The battery tender will keep any auto battery in peak charge condition without overcharging/damaging it (as a typical auto battery charger will) if left plugged in indefinitely.

The dealer was told by BMW that the software needed an upgrade. This was done a month ago and so far I've had no more problems.
Same problem had battery charged last week along with software upgrade and no problems so far.
Service department told me about putting more miles on car. I have a short commute to work. I found that funny never did in my previous BMW's and never had a problem with battery drain.
I will try the lock car at all times as previous poster suggested for sleep mode.

increased Battery Discharge
We have a 2008 535xi wagon and have had problems with the charging system since day 1. BMW has replaced 2 batteries, an alternator and done numerous software updates, etc. never able to fix the problem for good. Now I'm being told we have to charge it every night. We've owned 2 other BMW wagons, plus a couple of 325's and have never had the trouble. We drive the car every day and have 20,000 miles on it. It's ridiculous they tell you to charge it every night and we are not accepting this answer and are taking it further, demanding they fix it permanently or replace the car. We don't live in 1910! We have a Porsche that sits for a week at a time before being driven and it never has a problem. We have a Chev 08 Truck that sits for several weeks at a time with no problem. So, why would a car that is driven every day have a problem???
See attached TSB.

Increased Battery Discharge
BMW has told me their final answer is that my car needs a charger. They insist I don't drive it enough miles to keep battery charged and that I don't drive at 55+mph, when in fact I do, as we live in the country and use I-5 to get anywhere, so it's driven at 70mph most days at least 10 miles, with stops inbetween. We had a 2006 wagon, which BMW said would have to have been driven the same way, yet, I drove the same way then as now and never a problem with the battery. I asked the dealership if they put their loaner cars on trickle chargers and they don't - which, then leads me to believe they are jerking me around. If I can drive a 2006 3series loaner with 33,000 miles on it, then why does my 2008 with 20,000 miles have a problem?
BMW is very protective of their data and won't let me talk to higher ups, nor will they let me talk to their diagnostic people. Very frustrating and unsure of how to proceed.
They are blowing smoke up your skirt. I'm on my 5th BMW and no battery problems of any kind. Sometimes my cars sit for one or two weeks without driving and no battery problems. They cannot stop you from talking with "higher-ups." Call BMW USA and explain your complaint. Back it up with a written description to them with return receipt requested. Initiate a "Buy Back" lawsuit with your friendly lawyer and see how fast they respond. Or simply find another dealer. The one you are going to is blowing smoke.

increased battery discharge
We are getting all diagnostic info from both dealerships where we've had work done and are going to get an opinion from a private BMW mechanic and then take it to a lawyer. BMW is putting in yet another battery (the 3rd!) and attaching a charger - they say we have to charge it once a week and all our problems will be gone. Yet, no one can tell us how much we are supposed to drive. BMW NA said 10 miles straight without stopping at 55+mph, but later in the convo with them the guy denied ever saying that when I asked for clarification on how many miles to drive. The dealer said, no, you don't have to drive 55+mph - you could drive 5 mph, but he didn't know how far you'd have to go. The other service guy at the other dealer that has done the majority of the work on my car said that if I was driving less than 800 miles in a month, they might recommend a charger, but that they never recommended that for me because I drive an average of 1400 miles a month. So, no one really knows and that's why I think BMW is hiding a problem with their cars. This '08 model was an early production, manufactured in March '07.
3 batteries, 1 alternator and several software upgrades for one problem in 14 months. I'd call that messed up.
This is our 5th BMW and until now, never a charging problem.
I have been concerned that my '08 535i has not been going into sleep mode, thereby causing battery drain. I connected a USB stick with an LED that remains "on" whenever there is power to the device (the LED blinks when data is being read/written).
I closed the car and locked it. The LED remained on for about 15 minutes and then turned OFF. I repeated the experiment, closing the door but this time not locking the vehicle. The LED initially remained on, but when I came back to check (more than 15 minutes this time), the LED on the USB stick was again "off".
So while I can't be sure the vehicle is going into sleep mode properly, it would appear that at least some electrical systems are turning off after some period of time.
BTW, my car has just over 7000 miles and is 1 year old this week so I don't drive the car a lot. I only had the clock reset issue once in January after it sat unused for several weeks, but I have since resumed driving it more and I did use a battery tender to slowly condition the battery back to full charge when I was not driving it daily.
I have not had any further issues.

increased battery discharge
Thanks - isn't that funny, you hardly drive your car and it never has the problem. I am going to ask the dealer if I traded in the vehicle to them, they had it on their lot, someone came to buy it, what would they tell them - that it has a battery charger for it? Or, would they tell the person they have to drive the car a lot, but can't tell them how far? How in the world would they sell that car in the future, if they can't even tell me how much I have to drive.
This is why I know there is a cover up of some kind because I know there are people all over the country who have this exact car and I'm sure they don't all have chargers. 20,000 miles in 14 months is pretty high miles considering the average is about 12,000 in a year. There is no reason for me to have a charger.
I also know that my car is hibernating - they did a test and it showed that it was - so that's not the issue, either.
I had the same problem twice on my 2008 535xi Wagon, coupled with 4x4 failure warning message (I can't recall exactly what the 4x4 message was.)
Both instances the temperature was roughly -20C. In both instances the car started right up without so much as a sputter, so the dead battery excuse is bogus.
I complained and was advised that the issue was related to a wheel sensor. They replaced the sensor and I have not had another instance of the issue. I also have not experienced -20C days since this time either.
My SA tried that same BS line with me.....
My SA said that I take too many short trips, so the battery does not have enough time to recharge. I have been making the same commute for nearly ten years and this is my third car during that time and neither of the other two had this problem. They told me that I should buy a trickle charger, but I refused. They changed the battery once, but I kinda think that it will happen again. BMW needs to fix this problem and stop blaming the driving patterns of it's customers.
Current car: 2008 535i
Past cars: 2005 Audi S4 / 2002 BMW 330Ci / 1996 Mazda MX-6
I just had my wife's '08 535xi in for service for the same issue during the past 2 days. They tested the battery drain overnight and said there was no problems. Gave me the same BS they said to my wife the first time about using a battery tender and the need to drive more. I also told him that her car reset all of her personalized settings again, the day after the car was on a battery tender for three weeks when we were on vacation.
They also said that this car has a lot of electrical features that we might not be used to. I told him we also have a Mercedes S600 that has many more features than does her BMW, and my Corvette ZO6 has all of the same features, including the comfort access. The other cars do not have these problems, and are driven less than her BMW.
My wife loves her car, but I told her tonight that I'm keeping the records, and if we need to take it in again with no results, then I'll have to go after BMW for a replacement.
I also love how the BMW service rep acts like he's never heard of the issue before. Total BS. I told him I've read the same issues from at least 50+ people on this forum, and I'm amazed he is just learning about it, especially since he is giving the same BS responses that everyone else has been getting from their dealerships!

I had this same problem when I brought home my new 550i. The dealer replaced that battery and the problem was fixed!
I had similar problems and had the battery replaced. Still had the same problems and eventually dealership thought to check the alternator, which turned out to be the problem and all of the screwy problems went away.
I am assuming that someone has already checked yours?
Battery Charging Drain
Well, in the weeks since I wrote about our car, we have found out our car doesn't qualify for the lemon law in Oregon because of the time frame/miles. BMW insists it's my driving pattern that's the problem. However, when they kept it for a week without driving it, there were no problems with the battery - but then again, it's a new battery. I am POSITIVE BMW knows there's a problem with their 2008's and you all need to be complaining again and again until there is a fix for it. We have 20,000 miles on our 2008 and it is total BS that they should tell us we aren't driving it enough and by the way, we still cannot find out what ENOUGH is - no one will tell us and I'm sure that's because we are driving it enough already!
They need to pony up and treat their customers right.
This is the exact car we are having troubles with and have had 3 batteries and a new alternator since Dec. 07, right after we got it. They refuse to fix the problem and insist it is driving habits. We've had it fail in cold weather (Feb. skiing) and hot (July). They made us put a battery charger in the car and said our warranty could be void if we didn't charge it up once a week. 20,000 miles on the car. Ridiculous. They know they have a problem and more people need to speak up.

Boy do all these stories sound familiar!!! I was also one of the lucky ones. After reading there TERMS just a little to late I checked my account only to see that it took them 3 minutes to process my order so I then canceled my card which stopped their payment and they still sent me the product. after finding no number I waited for a call. I just got aletter from there so called COLLECTION bureau(yah right!!) . After trying to call their collection bureau I was told by an animated voice I would be put on hold for 10-15 minutes. I DONT THINK SO!!! Bottom line product is on its way back and their not getting a dime out of me! I LEARNED MY LESSON WELL! This company stinks!!!
Haven't tried the product yet but I ordered it and then realized it was a scam as they were going to bill my cc monthly if I didn't cancel in 14 days. The 14 days is from date of purchase NOT when you recieve the product. I called to cancel one day after the 14 day trial and they prorated my bill to $29.95 and said my info would be purged from the system. I guess we'll see. I'm concerned now that I need to cancel my credit card and order a new one. Spoke with the supposed manager at South Beach Acai, Rick Pea, who was extremely rude and would not take a moment to listen to any of my questions or concerns. BEWARE. If the company was reputable then they would actually follow through on their claims. Do not buy this product!!
DO NOT TRUST THEM!!!! I tried to cancel for over a week. They said their computers were down. So I called my credit card company, they tried to cancel for me. They just hung up on them. My credit card company put me though to the fraud department. I had to cancel my credit card for a new number so they couldn�??t take any more money for me. The fraud department said, "This company is being looked at for FRAUD" ... SO BUYER BEWARD!!!! They only got $3.95 from me. I'm one of the lucky ones.
Do not get this!!! Unless you want to be billed $59.99 after 2 weeks, they will not refund the money........ Free Trail my !!!
I did not order this product and my card was billed for it. They promise to refund my money with in 10 days and it has now been 15 days and I have not received my money. I do not trust this company. They do not stand behind their word.
I had great results with it and I also thought the customer service was really suprisingly great - I would definitely recommend
RIPOFF! They charged my credit card with out sending product. The product does not work. You can not get in touch with them to cancel. I emailed and toll called with no answer. DO NOT USE!!!!!!
Out of control. It took me 5 business days to contact these clowns. When i did get through the rep "says you're calling to early call back around 03/09/09 & let us know what you think then you can cancel. I started calling because i unchecked the box for the other products. My email said with purchase it enrolled me into the program for the other products. So i begain the contact process. I told him no i won't call back you give me a #RM now and so he did. 954-237-2690. The lines and voicemail mailboexes were always full this product is a full scam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He could bearly hear me because of all the lines were ringing, so he gave me the # to get me off the phone. No time for sale pitch cause i didn't even try the product, so keep trying. I also cancel with my bank.
This is a huge scam. No one will get back with me and like others have said i will take legal action and take everything i can from this company! Plus i gained weight on this product. You might want to e-mail me immediately
I am very upset with you guys I wanted to try it and now you are charging me 2 times for 1 bottle and if you don't quite then my lawyer will be in touch with you I signed up for a free bottle and that is all I have yet I have paid you almost 120.00 I would like a phone number to call and talk to someone you can send it to my email

EESC president Henri Malosse today met the President of Lithuania, Dalia Grybauskaitė, to address the challenge of the lack of support by European citizens for the European leadership. With particular reference to energy issues, he warned about the impact of policies that did not involve the people and the difficulty of winning back popular support in these days of economic crisis.
Mr Malosse has chosen Lithuania for his first visit as the new president of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC).
"The meeting of the future EU-presidency and the EESC president sends a very strong signal to the European people. The safety of energy supply is not an issue for Lithuania alone but for the European Union as a whole. Any project should be developed in concert with a well-informed civil society", said Mr Malosse. "My exchange with Ms Grybauskaitė is a positive first step in our productive partnership on this issue".

SEATTLE, Wash. -- The 24th-ranked University of Michigan volleyball team won the first two sets, 25-23, 25-9, before dropping the final three, 25-14, 25-19 and 15-10, to LSU in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament on Friday night (Dec. 6) in the Alaska Airlines Arena.
Seniors Molly Toon (Middleton, Wis./Middleton) and Jennifer Cross (Scarborough, Ontario/Birchmount Park Collegiate), playing in their final matches in the Maize and Blue, recorded 15 and 14 kills, respectively. Cross also tied a career high with nine blocks, while Toon had a double-double with 11 digs and added six blocks. Michigan tied a season high and set a new school postseason record with 19 team blocks. Meanwhile, freshman Abby Cole (Grand Haven, Mich./Grand Haven) added 11 kills and had seven blocks, while sophomore Krystalyn Goode (River Hills, Wis./Nicolet) tallied six blocks, two of them solos.
Michigan had five players in double figures in digs, led by sophomore Tiffany Morales' (Redondo Beach, Calif./Redondo Union) 20. Junior Lexi Dannemiller (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) and senior Ally Sabol (Los Angeles, Calif./Marymount) each had 14 digs and fifth-year senior Brittany Lee (Indianapolis, Ind/Cathedral) added 10. Dannemiller also made it a double-double with 48 assists to go along with her 14 digs.
The Wolverines took an early 3-1 lead in the first set on blocks from Toon and Cross, but the Tigers came back to go up 7-6 and 9-7 on kills from Briana Holman. Cross' termination tied the set at 10 and a Toon kill put U-M on top 12-11. Dannemiller's solo block gave the Maize and Blue a 14-12 lead and a kill from Davis put Michigan ahead 15-13 headed to the technical timeout. A Davis solo block put Michigan up 16-14, but the Tigers went on a 5-1 run after that, as solo blocks from Cati Leak and Holman made it 19-17 LSU. The Wolverines scored the next three points as a Sabol service ace gave U-M a 20-19 advantage. Back-to-back terminations from Cross gave Michigan a 22-20 lead as the Tigers called timeout. An LSU ball-handling error and Cross kill gave the Wolverines set point. LSU fought off two set points, the last on a Helen Boyle kill. Cross picked up her sixth kill of the set as the Wolverines clinched the opening-set win.
Michigan had seven blocks and Toon picked up six kills as U-M made quick work of the Tigers in set two. Toon's termination gave Michigan a 4-1 lead. Morales service ace was followed by blocks from Cross and Toon as U-M made it 6-1 and the Tigers called time. A Toon service ace made it 8-2 Wolverines and kills from Davis and Toon put Michigan up 10-2. Blocks from Cross and Davis gave Michigan a 12-2 lead with the Tigers called their second timeout of the set. A Goode solo block gave Michigan a 15-5 advantage. Cole's kill put the Maize and Blue up 17-6 and Toon and Goode combined on a block for an 18-6 lead. Blocks from Goode and Cole made it 21-6 Wolverines. Cole's kill forced set point at 24-9 and Toon and Cross closed out the set on an assisted block for the 25-9 win. The Wolverines hit .538 in the set and had zero attack errors.
LSU scored the third set's first four points and never looked back in a 25-14 win. Cole's termination cut that lead to 5-2 and Michigan got to 6-5 on a Tiger error. LSU extended its lead to 8-5 on Boyle's kill and 12-7 on a U-M setting error. That was part of an 8-0 LSU run as a Wolverine attack error gave the Tigers an 18-7 lead. A Dannemiller kill cut the lead to 20-11 and Goode had a solo block at 24-14, but LSU closed out the set on a Wolverine attack error.
Blocks from Cole and Cross tied the fourth set at three. A Davis solo block knotted it at 6-all, but LSU went on a 6-0 run, capped by a Malorie Pardo block. The Wolverines rallied to cut that lead to 14-12 on blocks from Cross and Cole. The two teams traded points until a Cross termination made it 16-15 Tigers. Leak's kill extended LSU's lead to 18-15. A Pardo kill gave LSU a 20-16 lead. Michigan scored two straight points, capped by a Tiger net violation, but LSU closed out the set on a Holman kill.
LSU took a 5-1 lead in set five on a Leak kill. Pardo's kill gave the Tigers a 7-2 lead and an Elliott termination put LSU up 8-2 heading into the changeover. Michigan cut that Tiger lead to 12-9 after a Morales ace and LSU attack error, but would get no closer. The Tigers won the match after a kill from Leak and a Tiger block.
Michigan hit .178 for the match, with LSU at a nearly identical .179 hitting percentage. The Wolverines had four service aces and 79 digs in the match.
This match ends the U-M careers of Toon, Cross, Sabol, Lee and Lexi Erwin (Spring, Texas/Woodlands College Park), who have played a combined 582 matches for the Maize and Blue.

This comment just prior to an interview didn't come off as rude, but it did show Arthur Lynch doesn't like to waste time. Or that he likes to joke around a little bit. Or maybe that he likes to talk a lot.
All would be true.
Last August provided a series of revelations for the young tight end, some of which were disappointing at the time. After playing sparingly his freshman season in 2009, Lynch was asked to take a redshirt because there was so much depth at his position and class separation is always ideal.
Nobody really wants to sit out a year. It means no playing on Saturdays, no road trips with the guys and long hours on the scout team. There is upside to 'shirting, but in the moment most don't want to hear about it.
However, soon after hearing the news, Lynch, who grew up in Dartmouth, Mass., was approached by a familiar, but unexpected person—Joe Tereshinski.
"Coach T said I want you to work out with me on Sundays and Fridays. I was like yeah I can do that. I really didn't think anything of it. I was thinking since I was redshirting why not get some extra work in."
Coach Dave Van Halenger was still the strength and conditioning coach at the time. But Tereshinkski, then the film coordinator, saw something in Lynch. Entering as a freshman two years ago, Lynch weighed around 235 pounds. He was labeled a traditional tight end—a bruiser known more for his blocking and physicality than his pass catching ability. Tereshinski believed Lynch could gain more weight and get stronger.
"He said a guy like me, that I had the size and the skill set to potentially go a long way, I just had to get my body ready," Lynch said. "I had to put myself in a position to physically do well. There are guys in the NFL that are big guys good at inline blocking, and they don't have to stretch the field, you know."
So on top of his regular practice and workout schedule Lynch started meeting with Coach T every Friday morning and Sunday afternoon in the old Stegeman Coliseum weight room—a place aptly titled "The Dungeon."
The nickname is fitting considering the kind of work Coach T cranked up.
"It was a lot of squats," Lynch recalls. "Cling, squat and press was another one. Really it was just a lot of lifts that were really intense. It's just intensity, high demand and the demand for your best. He pushed me. He pushed my body to do things it's never done, and I definitely owe him a lot for that."
The results were quick to follow. Over the course of the season, Lynch grew to 270 pounds—a lean looking 270 pounds too.
"Oh yeah, by far, you could tell when he was just walking around the campus," said junior tight end Orson Charles.
"We all noticed it," linebacker Christian Robinson said. "I know towards the end of the season we're not able to go every single day and workout. He just seemed to keep getting stronger. He's hitting you and you're going back and he was down there (on scout team), but it felt like he should have been on the first string. He'd gotten bigger, stronger, and he was loving it."
Soon after the season ended, Tereshinski replaced Van Halenger as the strength and conditioning coordinator. "We're going to press and challenge these kids every day to overcome," he said at the time. "They're going to have to overcome. They're going to have to go where they haven't been."
Arthur Lynch had already been there, and he was ready for what Coach T had in store.
"He would come and talk to us about meeting with coach T and how it was working for him," Robinson said. "He told us it would be a lot of main lifts. Pretty much everything he said was true—squatting, incline, major lifts. Then we had to try and catch up."
"In the SEC you're going to block d-ends that are like 280 or 290 pounds," Charles said. "So with him being like 270, he can hold his own and come off the ball. I feel like he didn't lose his speed with Coach T training him. We run 400 and 200 (yard sprints) and we do agility drills and quick motion stuff. He did that when we were in the season so he had the upper hand when we went into the new training and conditioning and stuff."
The tight end position, led by Charles and senior Aron White still resembles a traffic jam. And talented freshman Jay Rome will only add to the competition.
Through all of his hard work—by not wasting any time—last year, Lynch furthered the niche that could get him on the field often this season.
"We have guys like Orson and Aron who have a different game than mine," he said. "They have the ability to stretch the field and kind of play as a flexed out receiver. I don't want to knock myself and say I'm not a receiver. I can go out and catch the ball, but I'm more of that traditional pro-style body type. I think if I keep working on the little things with coach (John) Lilly and coach (Mike) Bobo I think I can do pretty well."
As for what Lynch is doing in his down time right now, there's no telling. But he's probably making the most of it.
"I'll be grinding it out, you know," he said.

Fire displaces 6, including 4 children, in Norwich
Norwich - Six residents, including four children, from an apartment on Fountain Street are temporarily homeless because of a kitchen fire Thursday that severely damaged their home.
Norwich Fire Chief Kenneth Scandariato said firefighters arrived at the three-story building, reported to be at 6C Fountain St., and found an active fire in the second-floor kitchen.
Firefighters conducted a search of the building while extinguishing the fire in short order. Firefighters were able to use a minimal amount of water, he said, sparing the other apartments from sustaining any damage.
No injuries were reported.
Red Cross volunteers remained at the scene at 5 p.m., assessing the emergency needs of the family and ensuring they will have a place to stay for the night, said Sue Rochester-Bolen, the senior director of emergency services for the local Red Cross branch.
Scandariato said other residents are expected to be able to return to their homes following an inspection of the electrical system by the city's building inspector. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Feminist perzine 'Here. In My Head #10: The University Years', is out now!
£1.20 UK / $2.00 International
It's 40 pages, half-sized, with a thick paper cover tied together with a pretty ribbon!
Inside, I write about living away from home, academia, making friends, the Student's Union, and graduation. It's mostly a collection of stories about my experiences, but there's also some practical advice for students and would-be students, and lots of lists.
Info on how to buy or trade a copy can be found at http://blatantblithe.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/here-in-my-head-10-no....
Hey Alice,
That's a pretty big question. Why don't you try looking at some of the zines that are already out there and see what people are talking about, how they're talking about it, and then maybe do a combination of working from there and also exploring any gaps you see. Also, do some research. Online. If your city/town has a local archive, that could have some interesting local feminist history. Check out your library and report back on things you find interesting. What makes you want to do the kind of zine you're talking about? Talk about that. DIY. Get your hands dirty.
i an thinking of making a feminist zine, but i need ideas. i wanna write about how womens rights were unfair in the good old days, but i need help
go girls
essays: western feminism's relationship with Islamic feminism; the concept of a "real" name; zine-making as a feminist process; importance of daily change for trans*/queer folks; a father's death & childhood memories; creating "life lists"; recovering from an eating disorder; how a haircut changed social interactions; identities in zines; discussions of consent in workshop settings; the "love your body" concept & chronic illness; the Vagina Monologues & questioning "accessible" feminism; handling a daughter's self-harming; an interview with fat-positive activists Tasha Fierce & Hanne Blank; white activism as social performance; questioning sexuality as a teen; the loss of a friend; how family history & sexual assault influenced one to stop drinking; pregnancy & parenting while genderqueer; fourth-wave feminism & the incorporation of trans women; poetry's potential to induce personal change; exploring new models of accountability & forgiveness with an alcoholic friend; why corporate journalism is not conducive to social change; an interview with lawyer dean spade & more! ½ sz, 72 pgs, B&W & text heavy!
Oh hi there!
I'm just putting the finishing touches on my first ever zine! Seeing as it's my first, it's not exactly a fine work of art, but it is pretty text-heavy and I think a pretty good read.
It's a compilation of diary entries of mine from a recent volunteer trip to Kenya. I critique the role of foreign aid and offer insights into how applicable - or not - feminism is in the developing world. Also I drink cow blood.
I would love to trade zines. Anyone interested?
I wanted to promote my fanzine so I recently made a tumblr for it but I'm having a hard time finding any zine tumblrs. Does anybody have a feminist tumblr or a zine tumblr or know anyone that does? If so, message me and let me know or just comment back on here. If you have one you should follow me http://muchachafanzine.tumblr.com/ and I swear I'll follow you back! =)
Viva La Revolucion Feminista!
the theme is pathology, inspired both by my job in a hospital and a giant pathology textbook i couldn't resist buying. pathology can refer to the study of disease, viruses and bacteria, cancers and infections--but it can also evoke 'normal' or 'typical' reactions or expressions taken to an extreme ('pathological gambling', etc.).
of course, this definition of what is pathological requires a set standard of what is normal, which varies from community to community--and i would guess many of us don't live up to. the interesting thing to me is the difference between the definition and how we live our lives.
thoughts of possible topics that most immediately come to mind:
* disability / ableism / accessibility
* mental illness / intellectual disability / psychotropic medications / alternative treatments
* non-monogamy / choosing to be single / not getting married / getting married
* sexuality / asexuality / kinks / etc
* pop culture / the love of glitter / the love of tattered black t-shirts
* healing / health / the medical system
* the overlap and dischord between different communities / scenes / cliques
* political & community organizing: how it works, how it fails us
* the list could go on and on....
i am looking for writing and art that is easily photocopied in a half-page format (8.5 by 11, folded so the 8.5 ends touch each other). i'm open to different mediums and formats, although any terrible poetry will be immediately recycled. i'm also open to varying genres: funny, sad, personal, fictional, etc.... my last compilation zine had poetry, a recipe, memoir, and lists, and i'm hoping to replicate the same eclectic format.
also, i hope to reprise the "things i love that i shouldn't" and "things i should love that i don't" lists from whatever saves #1, so please send me your thoughts on that as well.
contributions can be sent to:
po box 22761
seattle, wa 98122
deadline is july 1st.
please include contact information so i can send you a copy of the zine(s)
can't wait to see what y'all come up with.

A brother-in-law gave me his Beretta. On the left side of the receiver, it says "Pietro Beretta Gardone V.T. Cal 380 - Made in Italy" and on the right side it says "Berben Corporation N.Y. - N.Y.- Mod.70S - Patented." The pistol has had 56 rounds fired in it. It is in mint condition.
When was this pistol manufactured?
What is the approximate value?
Where can I purchase a replacement mag spring? (The existing mag spring feels especially weak. Could that account for a failure to eject properly?)
Where can I purchase wood grips for the pistol?
Here's a page with a little info on it and a few others.

I myself recently purchased the model 71 in .22lr. These guns were made in the 1950's shoots well and built well. Unfortunately, beretta does not sell or carry parts for these firearms any longer. Your best bet is to look on gunbroker.com and you shpuld find some mags or else go to www. gunclips and possibly pick up a new mag. Depending on the condition of gun it could be worth anywhere from 300.00 upwards. I am still looking fir a magazine spring for my model 71 in .22lr. parts like a new mag can run close to 70.00 alone for my model type. Keep your faith and time on gunbroker and u should have some luck.

Could something that happened in Seneca County in 2008 re-open a fatal fire investigation in California from 1991? Sgt. Christopher Hewitt with the Calaveras County Sheriff's department says it's a possibility.
Four years after the death of 23-year-old Levi Karlsen in Varick. The Seneca County Sheriff Department says they now have information that makes them believe Levi's father is responsible for his death and that it was not an accident. In addition, the case against 52-year-old Karl Karlsen has deputies in Calaveras County, California looking at a fire that killed Karlsen's wife over 20-years-ago.
