text: If Foley's behavior was an "open secret," then why didn't ANY member of Congress raise a loud stink about it? Just because they didn't hold the title "Speaker" doesn't mean they couldn't have acted or spoken out. The point is illogical to me. (And if it was an "open secret," it seems that precious little information was provided to the Speaker by anyone.) If, for example, it's an "open secret" that a member of Congress actually molested a page, it's not solely the Speaker's responsibility to address it. And if it's an "open secret," I assume Nancy Pelosi knew about it. So, I suppose we should damn the entire House. Yes, the Speaker runs the place, or tries to, but every member has a duty to report unethical or criminal activity should they become aware of it.

Much like the federal government as a whole, the U.S. Postal Service spends more money than it brings in. If it wants to change this while maintaining a high level of customer service then it needs to listen to and implement the suggestions from its rural customers and employees, according to U.S. Senator Mike Enzi, R-Wyo.
Participating in his first Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing as a new member, Enzi suggested to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe that he listen to people who are used to solving problems. Enzi suggested a different post office evaluation process than the one Wyoming just went through where some post offices were closed.
"The best process for any of these people in rural states, who have to solve problems themselves all the time, is to let them know how much it costs and then ask them how they can reduce the costs. I think you would be surprised at the innovative ideas that the people have so that they can continue to get the kind of service they've come to expect from the post office," Enzi said.
Enzi used the delay in the delivery of local mail as an example of less customer service than people expect. He believes rural customers and rural postal workers could find ways to maintain service and save the kind of money necessary to help turn the Postal Service around.
Enzi also asked Donahoe about labor costs and mail volume. Enzi believes the employment numbers must reflect the reduced demand if the Postal Service is ever going to become solvent again.

The Perth Scorchers have boosted their finals aspirations with a fine all-round performance, completing a comfortable 51-run victory over the previously unbeaten Melbourne Renegades at The Furnace on Saturday night.
The Scorchers produced an outstanding batting display, making the best score of any side in BBL|02 so far with 3-187 from their 20 overs, as Mat of the Match Shaun Marsh led the way with 85 off 52 balls, while Herschelle Gibbs blazed 56 off 39 and Adam Voges added 40 off 27.
Alfonso Thomas continued his fine form with the ball, taking 4-8 including the important wicket of Marlon Samuels for no score, while debutant Jason Behrendorff (3-44) got rid of the dangerous Aaron Finch as the Renegades were bowled out in the final over for 136.
The visitors had won the toss and elected to send the Scorchers in to bat on a humid evening in front of a bumper crowd of almost 14,000 fans.
Openers Marsh and Gibbs looked in control throughout their knocks, but it was the South African who made the early running, hitting the side's first four in the second over and the first six in the third. Gibbs plundered two sixes off Aaron O'Brien in the sixth over to race to 40 with the Scorchers 0-51.
The South African brought up his half century, coming off just 35 balls, in the ninth over with a big six off Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, before being caught in the next over by O'Brien in the deep off Finch's bowling. Gibbs' stellar knock of 56 included four sixes and four fours.
Marsh then assumed control, but received great support from Voges who was crafty with reverse sweeps and ramp shots.
The Scorchers opener brought up his 50, like Gibbs, with a fine six straight down the ground off Samuels, before letting loose in the 18th over from Finch with three maximums.
Marsh would hole out in the final over for 85 while Voges was run out trying to scramble a late single.
In reply, the Renegades always had their work cut out for them, but the departure of the in-form Finch for eight off Behrendorff's bowling in the second over was a major breakthrough.
Thomas then had West Indian Samuels caught behind for a golden duck, before wicket-keeper Tom Triffitt produced another great catch to get rid of opener Daniel Harris, making it 3-24.
Ben Rohrer rallied for the Renegades as Behrendorff's third over went for 24 runs, including four consecutive boundaries, which lifted the total to 50 after six overs.
Rohrer and Tom Cooper's partnership reached 50 runs off just 32 balls when the latter hit Coulter-Nile for six. The bowler had the last laugh when he dismissed Cooper only three balls later with a slower ball seeing him caught behind.
Rohrer went for 52 off 33 balls, brilliantly caught by Thomas off Behrendorff, and the Scorchers were well in control at 5-93 in the 12th over.
Thomas grabbed another two scalps to finish with the outstanding figures of 4-8 from 3.1 overs as the Renegades lost their final four wickets for just 12 runs to be all out for 136.
The result is a major boost for the Scorchers with the big win improving the side's net run rate as they close on a top four spot. Their next game is away to fellow finals hopeful Hobart Hurricanes at Blundstone Arena on New Year's Day.

David Falsberg, the perfumer at Phoenicia Perfumes, has an Alpha-dog nose as the result of a serious illness. He has since tuned his nose to perfumery with remarkable outcomes, some of which we will be reviewing later in this series. Let's discover more about David and another olfactory interest of his: the burning of Oud wood. Over to you David …

My Scented Journey via Agarwood
When I was asked to write a "how to/FAQ" on burning agarwood for The Fragrantica Oud Series, I was immediately confounded by both the simplicity of the subject—take a hot charcoal and place a piece of real agarwood on top of it and let it rip—and the complex issues of ethnobotany, psychoactivity and spirituality that arise as one spirals deeper into the mysteries of the journey. Sounds a little like Carlos Castaneda and it should.
Agarwood is created when bugs crawl into a certain type of evergreen indigenous to Southeast Asia causing the tree to become infected. Agarwood—aka Oud—is a resin the tree produces to combat the infection and over time the infection and the agarwood immunity will spread within the tree. For other "resin activators" see Part Two of this series.
In the not too distant past wild agarwood was abundant but today the demand for agarwood far exceeds the supply of wild wood and outside Indonesia most trees are now cultivated and scientifically innoculated to stimulate the production of the holy resin. Statues made of agarwood are all the craze in nouveau China and the dearth of wood also creates a black market in the production of fake chips and oils of dubious derivation.
Oud wood chips from Agarwood Indonesia
I have tried and smelled it all—fake wood made from painted sticks filled with epoxy to the holiest grail kyara wood from Vietnam for which its owner paid almost a thousand dollars for less than a gram of wood. Suffice to say that on a regular basis I burn cultivated woods acquired from reputable dealers although I occasionally splurge on wild woods that come from Borneo, one of the few places where it's still out there.
Burning oud chips captures the essence of the wood in a more complete scent profile than does the wearing of oud oil, albeit in the perfect world of a sheikh one will anoint oneself with the oil and then while standing in a tent over the burning coals will allow the smoke of the burning chip to fumigate one's clothes and hair and beard.

Nowadays there are electric burners but charcoal in a bowl or an Arabian mubakhar are the most efficient methods.

I started burning oud during a very dark time in my life where I believed I had little to live for and was seeking higher grounds in my spiritual life. My nose had become extremely hypernosmic after suffering problems with my other senses so I was learning a lot about both perfumes and burning woods and resins and I decided to burn some chips.
Burning with charcoal is the most effective way to heat up your oud. It is also a lot messier than an electric burner so I often use the electric burner to save time and stay neat.
However, I pursued the "grasshopper" method and learned to burn using a clay bowl filled with rice ash and Japanese charcoal to heat the wood.
The utensils you will need for this style of burning are a clay bowl, white rice ash to fill the bowl and circulate the heat, bamboo charcoal (don't use the instant light charcoal which contains saltpetre) and a little pair of tongs to place the wood on the heated ash and a tiny shovel to pile ash over the charcoal to achieve the desired burning temperature. All these utensils are available through Essence of the Ages and they ship globally.

|I think that learning to burn oud is an exploratory experience; just make sure the charcoal is heated all the way through. I usually wait 20 minutes, and fill the bowl fairly high with rice ash which helps spread and circulate the heat. Personally I always put ash on top of the charcoal to keep the wood from burning too fast and giving off a rubbery odor. Some people like to suck on the oud chip to slow the burn. A lot of the cultivated wood is now cut in slivers and can even be lit and burned directly.
For me there was great zen-like experience in playing with the coals and making little fortresses of ash to protect my dear chips from over-heating. Always burn oud with the round side down and only burn it on one side. If you turn it over it will produce foul smoke and ruin the psychoactive ambience.

You can order the cultivated wands from Essence but for higher levels of ouducation one must turn to a small cadre of elite oud dealers, Ensar Oud, AgarAura and Oudimentary are the safest albeit priciest bets. If, like me, you are obsessively curious about things once you get interested then there are several forums on the net where you will hear tales from those who worship agarwood as the holy grail and gamble their fortunes on wild wood from oud hunters who forage the jungle in search of the last wild oud on earth.

My olfactory interests have expanded to the point I can no longer spend all my time and resources chasing this grail. But I will say that the psychoactive nutrients in agarwood kept me on the path of life when all else was darkness. With diverse sources of oud there are different scent and psychoactive profiles based on location, age of the tree, age of infection; it is a world of nuance as deep as you care to go. I have inhaled and felt grounded by the rich smell of real Indian oud, soothed by the coumarinic notes of Cambodian and Thai ouds and been uplifted to places beyond terra firma—literally heard whisperings from voices on high—while inhaling the high spicy wafts from wild Borneo chips.
It is a journey albeit in some ways a sad one, reflective of our ecology, smelling chips from trees that will never exist in the wild again but there is hope at the same time; there is hope in the cultivation and development of agarwood plantations and in advances in the science of innoculation that this noble resin will live on into the future. If we all inhale oud and stay sane enough this noble resin will become sustainable and the psychoactive and aromatic properties of agarwood shall enlighten generations to come.

Thank you David Falsberg for adding this area of your expertise to The Fragrantica Oud Series.
Next week we will start to look at some recent perfumes which are composed with real Oud. Later in the series we will visit the jungle with the Orang-Asli, the jungle dwelling people who are the original inhabitants of Malaysia, as they search for the increasing rare wild agarwood trees. There will be tigers; we will hear a ROAR and it won't be from Katy Perry.

حرق العود و التبخر به امر يعود بنا قديما جدا في عمق الثقافة العربية خصوصا و الاسلامية عموما ...
للحرق تقاليد و اعراف تختلف من مكان الى اخر .. الغريب و الجميل في نفس الوقت ان العود بنفسه لا يهبك و لا يعطيك النفحة و الرائحه و العبق بنفس الدرجه او المرتبة دوما و هذا جمال الطبيعة ... نوعية القطعة المحروقة و شدة العود بها ثم طريقة الحرق ايضا .. الطريقة المتبعة في الخليج العربي هي وضع القطعة من العود على الجمر الحامي و عدم تقليبها او لمس العود و تركه يحترق في مرة واحدة... هذه الطريقة تعطي العود فرصة واحدة للاحتراق و اعطاﺀ النفحه العطرية المميزه لنوعية العود المحترق ... تغير الرائحه يتضح جليا بعد انتهاﺀ احتراق الراتنج او دهن العود
Thanks for shareing your love of oud ..
Burning oud is a very old ritual in our arab and islamic culture ...
There are diffrent burning cultures from place to another... the amazing thing is that oud it self wont give the same exact essence even from the same tree..
tree type, age, risen intensity and the way its burned make a big diffrence..
In arab gulf we put the oud chip on top of burning charcoal and try not to move the chip or disturp it so it burnes smoothly and slowly but not very slowly ... this way we think will give the chip the best and only chance to gift us with its exclusive and rare essence ..
In general the larger the chip the more aroma and pleasure we get and enjoy.
I own both wild and organic artisan oud oils. There are wonderful examples of numerous oils from both sources available from reputable producers.
If you read the articles and blogs from some of these artisnal producers, you will see the reverence with which they (and some of their consumers) view oud. The use of oud to prepare oneself for prayer is also a part of the Muslim religion (as I understand, though I am not Muslim myself).
To me, part of the draw to artisnal oud, either wild or organic, either wood or oil, is that each batch is special and cannot be replicated. From the type of wood to the type of vessel used for distillation to the water used, it is utterly unique.
I am all for sustainability, which I support through purchase of organic oil, but I also love wild oud. I view wild oud like I do some of the vintage perfumes I own. They contain ingredients that are no longer available and are precious for their rarity, as well as their smell.
aging oud actually is to get rid the waters and to make the molecular bonds tighter thus having that "mature" smell, what make real oud oil different is they are a lots of variety of smell, but the barny fecal type is the most well known, actually not oud oil smell that way, it is the soaking that make that fecal smell. I dont soak!
Aging occurs in two ways, the first is the age of the infection, not the age of the tree. A tree that has been infected for forty years will produce aged oil. Also, letting the oil rest after distillation is the other form of aging.
Regarding sustainability, there are different levels of "poaching", scavenging and hunting. Basically all of SE Asia has been cut down thanks in great part to the Chinese love of "lucky tree" carving. There is even a mafia I've heard told that forces families that own aged trees to sell infected pieces from old trees only to them and from there to China.
However, in jungles and swamps in other countries, I wont even name them to protect these remaining vestiges, there are hunters who practice their own brand of sustainability. They do not cut down whole trees, they simply keep revisiting infected trees every six months or so looking for infected pieces. They also forage in swamps for wild pieces. My message is sustainability and ethical cultivation and I am sorry you view my comments as advocacy of anything other than sustainability. Many of the collectors of wild wood will only buy pieces that are already aged so there is no further contribution to deforestation.
Brilliant, loved it!
Good article: thank you.
I have had a few questions that perhaps could be addressed in a future article. One often sees for sale oudh oil that is "aged." Exactly what is aged, and how? Is the agarwood itself aged, or the oil? Is it aged in glass, wood, a container lined with agarwood itself, or what? Is it cellared at a cool temperature, a hot temperature, or what?
Any light you could shed on the specifics of oudh aging would be appreciated.
Hello RedHeartSunglas - Thank you for your reaction. We will be exploring the sustainability of Oud in depth shortly. There are organic plantations which are just really coming into play now; these plantations supply resin as well as wood for burning. Here's to ecological conscience.
Redheartglasses Oud exists for thousand years already and it is cultivated for a long period.
If everyone will follow logic which you suggest, there should not be mankind on sacred Planet Earth.
Take a deep breath and stay open to good things. Or better plant and grow your own Aquilaria Trees as Ajmal family does for three generations for example.
Yeah, to hell with the environment! Let's support the poachers and the extinction of a species just for our own gluttonous enjoyment!
" If, like me, you are obsessively curious about things once you get interested then there are several forums on the net where you will hear tales from those who worship agarwood as the holy grail and gamble their fortunes on wild wood from oud hunters who forage the jungle in search of the last wild oud on earth."
I guess all the quality sustainably harvested oud that is being offered to counter this very thing just isnt good *enough*, and that's a perfectly acceptable reason to condone wiping out a species from the wild?
This article isn't beautiful to me at all, it simply turns my stomach. I know I'm going to be criticised and told to lighten up or something stupid, but if you write about burning oud and suggest sources without talking about sustainability, and especially if you go an make comments like what I quoted, you absolutely open yourself up to this kind of criticism.
More goodness from Jordan <3
The rice ash addition is a great tip not just for burning oud wood chips (which I would rather have tinctured, if you ask me, as the burning seems so "wasteful") but also for my regular frankincense/myrrh on coals censer.
Thanks for the interesting info!
Muznabutt, burn away, it takes much larger particulates to set off a smoke detector than will ever waft from your incense burner - unless you are mixing your frankincense with cheese.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing!
Great reading... i love the concept but worry about setting of fire alarms in the houses in UK with all that smoke!
thank you for another great article!
Thank you for beautifully deep materials! I enjoyed reading already 3 times! Waiting for new portion!
I thought that only fialophora fungus manages agar creation. Please tell little bit more about these bugs.

How to disable mirror dimming on F30?

The permanent nature of the auto-dimming mirrors is absurd, and the fact that even my wife's five year-old Subaru wagon has a simple "on-off" button for the feature on the center mirror and BMW does not, is twice as absurd. If you drive on the freeways of downtown LA at night, surrounded by dozens of buzzing and slicing lowered Honda Civics, you want to know exactly where every bit of every other car is, every second. The BMW auto-dimming mirrors get so damn dark, that you notice the arrival of new cars several seconds later than you would have otherwise, usually when they are right on top of you or crossing behind you into a space you had your own eye on. Plus, the devil is in the details; I notice or see plenty of information in the shadows - the rear 1/3 of a car who's headlights I never would have seen because of alignment in any mirror but I spot them instantly because of reflections and highlights in an un-dimmed mirror. With the stupid-dark BMW dimmed mirrors, you will NEVER see a bit of that same car if you didn't see their headlights first. To me the system is ridiculously unsafe, for that reason. I don't care at all about how bright somebody else's headlights are; I can always move to wherever I have to to lose them. But even that is harder with a "Blacked-Out" side mirror, since any delay in figuring-out what you're seeing is not what driving or the "Ultimate Driving Machine" is supposed to be about. So I have my little systems also, to block the sensor - but the Tic Tac door takes the cake. Proof of how stupid the system is? When I open my garage from inside the car in broad daylight, the ambient daylight outside completely sends all my mirrors black, when I need to check them on general principle to back-out past the afore-mentioned Subaru.

ATLANTA -- Senior Lindsay Gendron placed first in two events and contributed in a relay victory Saturday to wrap up the second day of the Georgia Tech Invitational.
Gendron reached the wall first in the 400-yard individual medley (4 minutes, 17.89 seconds) and the 200 freestyle (1:46.79), and she was placed third in the 100 butterfly. She swam the anchor leg of the winning 800 freestyle relay team to end the night.
Through two days of the meet, Tennessee leads the 9-team women's field with 741.5 points. Florida Gulf Coast is second with 681.5.
"I think one of the big challenges of today was people to get out for multiple swims," Tennessee head coach Matt Kredich said. "We did an average job this morning, but tonight was much much better. We had great leadership from two of our seniors: Sam Rairden and Lindsay Gendron."
The UT men and women combined for seven event victories Saturday, four for the men and three for the women.
Three of the men's individual victories came in the pool. Rairden sparked a 1-2-3 finish in the 100 backstroke, winning in 49.05. Sophomore Tristan Slater took first in the 400 individual medley in 3:56.52, and sophomore Gustav Aberg Ledjstrom won a close 200 freestyle race in 1:37.74.
On the diving boards, sophomore Mauricio Robles won his second event of the meet. He scored the fourth-highest 1-meter springboard total in program history with a six-dive total of 387.85.
The Tennessee women recorded three wins on the second day of the invitational after just missing out of the winner's circle during Friday's competition.
Senior Lindsay Gendron provided the first two individual race victories for the UT women in the meet, winning both the 400 individual medley and the 200 freestyle.
She touched the wall first in the 400 individual medley in an NCAA B-cut time of 4:17.89. Lauren Driscoll was not far behind, taking third in 4:22.10.
A few minutes later, Gendron also led the t am in the 100 butterfly, placing third in 55.05.
Gendron got back on the winning trail in the next race, pulling away from the field in the 200 freestyle in another NCAA B-cut time of 1:46.79. The performance was not unusual for the senior, who regularly manages a busy schedule during Tennessee's dual meets.
Tennessee ended the night on a high note with a victory in the 800 freestyle relay. The team of Mary Griffith, Faith Johnson, Driscoll and Gendron won the race in 7:20.73, four seconds ahead of James Madison.
"For Lindsay to swim three events and one relay like she did was outstanding," Kredich said. "She's an extraordinary athlete. she sets the tone for the team."
Junior Molly Hannis scored UT's best result in the 100 breaststroke, finishing third in 1:02.25. Freshman Christina Leander led Tennessee in the 100 back with a fourth-place finish with a time of 56.12.
In diving, sophomore Samantha Lera finished second in the 3-meter springboard with a six-dive score of 310.90.
the team of Christina Leander, Molly Hannis, Johnson and Harper Bruens took second in the 200 medley relay to start the evening session in 1:41.47.
Through two days, the Tennessee men have won six events in the three-school competition. Four of those wins came on Saturday.
Sophomore Mauricio Robles kept up his momentum on the springboards after winning the 3-meter competition the day before. Robles scored a career-best 387.85 in the finals to win the 1-meter springboard. The score is the fourth-highest in Tennessee program history.
Michael Howell finished third with a score of 303.00. Lee Fullam was eighth with a career-best score of 246.65.
"Mauricio had an excellent day," Tennessee diving coach Dave Parrington said. "He had career highs in the prelims and the finals, and the beauty of it is that he left points on the table and has room to improve.
"Michael's performance was probably the highlight of the day, placing third to get an NCAA qualifying score. That was one of our goals for this season. I couldn't be more proud of him."
Junior Tristan Slater helped Tennessee complete the sweep of the 400 individual medley. Following Lindsay Gendron's win, Slater cruised to a win in his top event, finishing in 3:56.52. The Vols placed five swimmers in the top 10, with Ryan Signorin (5th), Bryce BeVier (7th), David Heron (9th) and Drew Peterson (10th) joining Slater in the A final.
Sophomore Gustav Aberg Ledjstrom recorded his second NCAA B cut time of the meet en route to winning the 200 freestyle. He beat out Georgia Tech's Mats Westergren at the wall by two one-hundredths of a second in 1:37.74.
"Gustav has done really well," Kredich said. "He's very different this year than last year. He's a lot healthier and a lot stronger. He's put together some good 200 freestyles together tonight. It's been fun to watch him go. He's been an emerging go-to swimmer. That wasn't the case last year, but he's grown into that role."
The UT men finished 1-2-3 in the 100 backstroke, the final individual event of the night. Senior Sam Rairden, a silver medalists in the event at the SEC Championships last year, won the race in 49.05. He was followed closely by sophomores Sean Lehane in second (49.63) and Jimmy Dagley in third (50.33).
"Sam had his best session of the year," Kredich said. "We were a lot better tonight across the board."
Senior Renato Prono provided UT's top finish in the 100 breaststroke in 56.21. Ross Dibblin took sixth in 57.78.
In the relays, the team of Rairden, Prono, Hetland and Aberg Ledjstrom finished second in the 200 medley relay in 1:29.23.

text: At first, I was having problems with my headlgihts and my battery not staying charged. Then, I took my LKM relay out and sattered it. All the problems went away except for my right headlight and my right seat and right stop light will not work. Everything else works fine though. I checked the fuses and they are all good. My dashboard lights do not work either. Is all this connected to each other or any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks.

It's all (panoramic sunroof) or nothing (hard roof)
This is a discussion on Sun Roof /Moon Roof within the CLA General Discussion forums, part of the Mercedes-Benz CLA Forum category; I was wondering if anyone knew if the CLA comes standard with a sunroof and the panorama was simply an upgraded option, or if there ...
I was wondering if anyone knew if the CLA comes standard with a sunroof and the panorama was simply an upgraded option, or if there is no standard. I know most mercedes come with at least a standard sunroof and the panorama is an option. I've been looking at the owners guide that was leaked and some pictures show the panorama and a few show nothing.
Just curious as I start getting ideas for when I can officially go in and build mine
It's all (panoramic sunroof) or nothing (hard roof)
Welcome to our forum sxc7885 :+)
that panoramic glass roof will set you back apprx $1500... i just plan on Wrapping my roof top in glossy black and adding a rear wing roof spoiler when they become available
i have a moon roof in my current ride but hardly use and think my funds can go to a better place...
^^^ Like your ideal!
If you use Google Chrome you can go here: Mercedes-Benz Deutschland - Konfigurator - CLA-Klasse Konfigurator
And use the german website to build and spec your car and Chrome will translate it for you, it works pretty well.
The CLA should come with a standard sunroof.The best way to BUY this vehicle is standard Black or white paint ,include one option premium 1 & thats it .This will keep your resale at good value plus give you great options for $33,000 great price for an upscale car,however if the sunroof is not standard DO NOT BUY THE CAR.Then they are just fooling you with this under $30,000 entry .Every car comes with a sunroof if they do not just buy the new BMW 320i & let Mercedes just live with their stinginess.
Sunroofs only leak anyway, I'd rather not have one.

2013 Ford Fiesta SE Manual
Added weight & comprmised head'room on a moonroof, generally speaking. They are great, when first purchased; then I don't even recall ever using it.
Now, a glass-roof would be even better (that doesn't open or just tilts up at-most). I do like the natural light early/late in the day. Make it electro-chromatic self-shading, I'm down!

Leaky kohler gasket
I had an old kohler toilet with the famous triangular gasket to connect the tank to the bowl. It was leaking apparently from that part each time you flush.
I changed the gasket today (and the rest as well), place the whole thing back (at least 3 times..) and it still leaks the same way (a small flow in the back, apparently going through the 3rd hole in the back). Oh it's leaking also only when you flush.
I'm starting to run out of options.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Thanks Mark!
I will probably look at that and replace the whole toilet if needed!
This fix is not a recommended fix---However it can work--
Remove the tank (again) make a thick roll of plumbers putty and place it around the hole in the stool--
Reinstall the tank---and pray--Mike---

Donetsk, Ukraine: Separatists rebels on Monday attacked a caravan of cars carrying refugees trying to flee war-ravaged eastern Ukraine, killing "dozens" of people in a devastating barrage of artillery fire, Ukrainian military officials said, although rebel leaders denied there had been any attack at all.
Colonel Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian military, told a briefing in Kiev, the capital, that "terrorists had perpetrated a bloody crime" by attacking the refugee convoy with Grad rocket systems and other heavy weapons supplied by Russia.
Although Colonel Lysenko did not give a precise tally of the fatalities, if confirmed, the incident would easily rank among the most deadly for civilians since separatist militants began seizing cities and towns in the region more than four months ago.
"Many people died, including women and children," he said, adding that the assault took place on the main southern highway leading out of the regional capital of Luhansk.
The highway where Ukraine says the attack took place connects Luhansk, which has been the focus of a government offensive to regain control of territory controlled by separatists, with the Russian border. The road has seen heavy fighting in recent days as Ukrainian forces have tried to seal off supply routes into the city from Russia that are used by militants to replenish their supply of weaponry and fighters.
Here in Donetsk, the last major rebel stronghold, Alexander Zakharchenko, the prime minister of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, denied that any such incident had occurred.
"Not one column of refugees was fired on in Luhansk at that time," Mr Zakharchenko told journalists.
And the Ukrainian army, he said, had used a chemical weapon in combat in eastern Ukraine, although its exact nature was unclear. Pro-Russian soldiers operating in a village where cluster munitions had fallen developed rashes and became ill, he said. His claim could not be immediately verified.
There was no independent confirmation of the Ukrainian government's report, which followed repeated rebel accusations that Ukraine is responsible for an increasing number of civilian casualties in the combat zone.
Russia has accused Ukraine of stepping up its operations in the area to wreck what Moscow describes as a humanitarian mission involving a convoy of about 270 trucks carrying relief supplies. The trucks have been stalled for days on the Russian side of the border and had planned to take the same highway into Luhansk.

The problem with those over sized, bulk laundry detergents is in fact their size. What usually happens is you use more detergent then you need because you don't use the cap because it gets dirty and collects hair so you just pour what you think is the right amount. And, let's not even talk about lugging that 25 pound jug to the laundry room with you.
If you are looking for something to take the load off (pun intended), the Method Laundry Detergent in it's 20 oz bottle will cover you for 50 loads at half the size and close to half the price. 4 pumps covers one load, and there will be no need to lift weights to transport your detergent anymore. It's available in four different scents and the bottle is made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastic making it not only more convenient but all so green!

Thank you Angel from Teavivre for this sample!
It's delicious. The first osmanthus oolong I have ever tried. I talked to my friend about this before when he found out I had a tea addiction. He said it was very popular in China. I had been wanting to get my hands on some so I'm so glad I get this opportunity.
The first steep is delightful. Peachy notes with a nice green floral oolong. They balance each other nicely.
As I get into the second steep, a creaminess develops and it changes to a creamy peach. I really am adoring the floral but brothy oolong as a nice counterbalance.
The third and fourth steeps are lesser versions of the second steep. The fourth steep got to be a little unexciting, but that's to be expected.
Overall – this is a delicious oolong!

Meet Igor Kenk. For a long time, if you lived in Toronto and your bike was stolen, chances are good that someone would eventually tell you to check Igor's shop. When police busted him in 2008, they charged him with 80 offences, and recovered nearly 3,000 bikes. The headlines that resulted, and the attention garnered by Kenk's outspoken, eccentric and puzzling personality, earned him the title of "world's most prolific bicycle thief" by international news outlets.
Now we have Kenk, the book (and possibly, animated film), an intensely detailed, layered and unforgettable portrait of Kenk, his life and times. A tale of crime and obsession, and a remarkably intimate project, Kenk presents a picaresque collection of scenes: Kenk with customers, or with his common-law wife (a Juilliard-trained concert pianist), Kenk cruising the yard sales and selling scrap to the junkyard, Kenk outside the courthouse. Various interludes offer insights into his country of birth and his adopted city, among many, many other subjects.
Kenk's voice is relentless throughout. Equal parts hustler, curmudgeon and philosopher, he rambles, philosophizes, rants. At times, his blustery facade falls, offering a glimpse at his self-doubts and uncertainties.
"The question is whether I feel guilty or not. I'm having trouble understanding where does it begin and where does it end," he says during one of the book's relatively quiet moments. "I'm coming from a place where stuff that is lying in the garbage here was completely and utterly out of reach to me, even though I was far from the bottom of society."
He relates how one former girlfriend described him as having a "Jekyll and Hyde" personality: "'Some vicious note comes out of you when money is around,' [she said]. So I choose to be poor. I choose to be the underdog."
A prologue recalls the opening pages of Frank Miller's classic Dark Knight Returns, with a TV news motif that establishes some background information and sets the tone. The various headlines, sound clips and talking heads culminate with a newscaster asking the fundamental questions for this book. Local residents and international media want to know, she says, "Who is Igor Kenk, did he steal 3000 bicycles, and what was he planning to do with them?"
Author Richard Poplak answers two of those questions, but wisely avoids oversimplifying his story. By the end of the book it's hard to determine if Kenk is a misunderstood hero or a con artist, if he masterminded an army of bike thieves or if he just didn't care where the bikes he bought for his second-hand shop actually came from. Most likely, the truth is somewhere in between.
In a brief interview featured on the book's official website (kenk.ca), Poplak describes how he connected to Igor Kenk through a passion for cycling.
"[Bikes] are for Igor a way into understanding the wider world, and that's something I relate to," says Poplak, a former competitive cyclist. "My job ... was to tell the story of a very, very complicated man, who happens to steal bicycles."
Born in Slovenia in 1959, Igor Kenk grew up during a particularly turbulent period in the country's history, and came of age during the collapse of the former Yugoslavia. He spent a short time as a police officer (even winning the Slovenian police judo championship), before finding success (and something of a calling) as a smuggler and all-around hard-working hustler.
"[My father's] father used to say to him, 'Idiots buy things, and smart people sell things to idiots,'" Kenk says. "He forgot this. I did not."
Kenk immigrated to Canada in the late 1980s with a former girlfriend. After an assortment of odd-jobs, including a stint as a model, he found success using the skills he had developed in Slovenia: scavenging for scrap, then selling or re-purposing what he found.
"It took me four years to sort of find what I thought was going to be a temporary solution," he says. "I'm delivering newspapers and other bottom-of-barrel jobs. And then I'm picking these scrapper bikes and fixing them. And I found that extremely rewarding, to rescue shit and put it back to use. And in the process I guess I evolved into fairly ardent and competent defendant of scrappers."
He soon opened a second-hand bike and repair shop, and his notorious empire grew. One sign of his peculiar business savvy: in 1996 he bought the building that housed his shop for $85,000; after his 2008 arrest, he sold the building for a reported $640,000. Not bad for a guy who calls himself a loser.
Kenk's story brings to mind Vittoria De Sica's 1948 classic neorealist film The Bicycle Thief. Along with the obvious parallels—bike theft is a key element of each work—both stories compare favourably in terms of politics and ethos.
In his essay Bicycle Thieves: A Passionate Commitment to the Real (available on the Criterion website), Godfrey Cheshire writes: "[Neorealism's] resort to documentary-style, street-level filming…was initially a matter of sheer necessity. It soon became an ethical stance, one with consequences both immediate and enduring."
A 300-page "hybrid that simultaneously takes the form of documentary film, journalistic profile and comic book," Kenk was produced and published by Pop Sandbox, which is comprised of Poplak, producer Alex Jansen, filmmaker and designer Jason Gilmore and illustrator Nick Marinkovich. They based the project on more than 30 hours of video and photographic footage taken of Kenk over the 14 months leading up to his arrest, and the explosive creativity that's so palpable on every page shares Bicycle Thief's "rush of creative energies sparked by, and ultimately tied to, a particular historical crisis," as Cheshire describes it.
Kenk's story is inexorably connected to the gentrification of formerly poor neighbourhoods in Toronto. There's a strong sense that Kenk might have faced particularly harsh treatment from authorities because his neighbours wanted him out. At one point, Kenk makes the prescient observation, "If people start making five times as much money here, I'm fuckin' screwed. I'm out. I'm finito."
Amid the information-dense panels, the visual element that stands foremost is the crumpled-paper, bashed-out-on-a-typewriter, zine-like look of the work. Poplak describes the striking visual style in an author's note: "The images have been doctored using a now-ancient technology employed by underground artists battling state-run presses in Yugoslavia during the 80s: the photocopy machine. Kenk came of age in that country during the punk-like FV movement. This style informed—and informs—his ethos."
While a more explicit connect between Kenk and the FV movement would have been welcome, the Pop Sandbox team offer an interesting explanation of the FV on the book's official site.
"Reminiscent of the punk zines and Zappa-esque nuttiness of the late seventies and early eighties hardcore scenes in the West, FV Disco nevertheless had its own particular esprit," they write. "The primary medium was the photocopy machine, an agent of democracy because it put publishing—which was until then state-run—in the hands of the people. A dark yet vibrant artistic movement was born, forming the basis of an entire underground culture."
"Dark yet vibrant" could just as easily apply to Kenk. Roger Ebert's description of The Bicycle Thief's impact also recalls Kenk's musing of his work as a form of advanced communism.
"Neorealism, as a term, means many things, but it often refers to films of working class life, set in the culture of poverty, and with the implicit message that in a better society wealth would be more evenly distributed," Ebert writes in the Chicago Sun-Times.
"I'm just running around trying to pick other people's garbage and put it into use," Kenk says at one point. "You put out as much as you can and consume as little as you can. So that it's your pleasure to contribute. In other words, true communism."
In an author's note, Poplak also connects Kenk's plight to the common expat experience.
"The immigrant narrative is so often an attempt to reconcile a new reality with a fraying version of home," writes Poplak, who immigrated with his family to Canada from South Africa in 1990. "This is the purgatory in which many of us live."
In The Bicycle Thief, the father character Antonio Ricci has his bike stolen, and without it he's unable to work and earn money to care for his young son. After an emotional (and pretty depressing) series of experiences that follow from the theft, there's a scene where he says, "Why should I kill myself worrying when I'll end up just as dead?" His fatalistic words, at once crushing and oddly freeing, resonate with Kenk the book and the man.
"Back home I was flush with junk because we were poor. And here I'm flush with junk because people are ignorant," Kenk says. "Back in old communist shithole I was legend. Here's I'm just a loser…I'm the worst villain in western hemisphere."

Saturday, October 8th at 4 pm, Slow Food Delta Diablo and the Walnut Creek Public Library will be screening "Eat at Bill's" at the downtown library. This screening is free and a brief discussion will follow.
This film is a video documentary about the phenomenon that is the Monterey Market, a family owned produce market in Berkeley, CA. The focus is on Bill Fujimoto, the market's owner. Bill's enthusiasm and experience fuel the enterprise and illuminate the Market's wide world of small growers and diverse customers.
The Monterey Market's single store supports many dozens of small (and formerly small) farms. Bill's determination to support the maximum number of small growers and his passion for connecting customers with the very best has attracted a small army of restaurant customers.
After an upheaval in management at the market, Bill left to become the produce buyer at Diablo Foods in Lafayette, CA. He has brought his passion and commitment to the east side of the hills. Join us for this intimate look into a California treasure: Bill Fujimoto.

Research from colleges and universities around the country shows that some students feel they don't "belong," aren't included, or aren't respected in classrooms. You can learn more about student experiences.
Research further suggests that these same students are less likely than their peers to learn, stay in school, and graduate. In other words, inclusiveness is not about helping students feel good about themselves; it is aimed at helping students learn and succeed in college.
Elon University is a diverse community, and Elon faculty members are known for their respectful and caring interactions with individual students. Often the students who have reported not feeling included on college campuses belong to historically disadvantaged or marginalized groups (based on race, sex, religion, socioeconomic class, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, ethnicity, etc.). Marginalization and lack of equal opportunity are inconsistent with the first theme of the Elon Commitment: an "unprecedented commitment to diversity and global engagement."

Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier intends to bring in some kind of competition for his starting QB job when the NFL emerges from its lockout.
But who arrives to compete with second-year QB Joe Webb is still unknown.
"It's kind of a matter of who's available," Frazier told the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. "And we need to find a guy who we can build around. That would be the ideal situation."
Webb replaced both Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson after injuries forced both veterans to the sidelines last year.
Favre has said he doesn't anticipate returning (and even if he changes his mind, Minnesota is an unlikely landing spot). Jackson is a free agent.
SI.com's Peter King said Monday that he believes Donovan McNabb -- whom the Washington Redskins are expected to try and deal -- would be a good fit for the Vikings. McNabb would get one more chance to try and build a winner, while the Vikings -- who probably would need to surrender a mid-level draft choice -- would get a needed veteran presence under center.
Still, Frazier wouldn't rule out the possibility of Webb winning the starting job.
"If Joe Webb can be that guy, it'll be Joe Webb," he told the Pioneer Press.
"We like Joe; we like some of the things he did at the end of last season. We're going to give him a chance to compete for that starting job as well. It's open. We hope to have a young guy, and maybe a veteran guy. But it's going to be open competition."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

shivering and feeling hot
when I got home today from working out I noticed Brutus wasn't acting himself. He went to the bathroom and everything looked normal.. he normally eats 3-4 cups a day and he only ate 1. He isn't being playful and he didn't want his bone to chew on which is not normal for him. I noticed about 30 minutes ago he started shaking really bad like he has the chills. His nose is dry and when I touch his fur it feels hot and like he has been sweating a lot... he is refusing water and i try to feed him from my hand and he won't eat at all. I am making him some rice right now in hopes he will eat that. He was either by my side or in his kennel all day so he didn't eat anything that he wasn't supposed to. I am concerned because he this isn't like him to be this way. I should also mention we put flea medicine on him sunday afternoon. Could that be it? is there anything that I should look or watch out for over the next couple of hours? if it gets worse I plan to bring him to the emergency vet but I want to make sure that I try everything at home before I do that. Any advice helps .. I am becoming extremely worried.
i also just took his temp and it is 105.4
How old is he? Shivering does not sound good. It could be a reaction from spot on treatment, but how bad of a reaction is the question...can you take his temp.?
did he have a recent vaccine? what?
If Anubus is on here she may have better idea of symptoms and whether you should get to the vet asap.
Go to the vet...
he is a year old up to date on all shots and he hasnt had any vaccines recently ... his next one is due in march
At least call the emerg. clinic and see what crisis temp is...is he drinking yet?
vet please right away. e-vet, right away. way, way better to be safe than sorry.
According to this link High Fever in Dogs: Symptoms and Treatments
106F is the critical point. I would closely watch his temp and watch for any other worsening, or if he continues to refuse fluids, I would take him to the emergency vet. The article linked above also has tips to control the temperature.
Hope your dog gets well soon.
So sorry... I know you must be so worried, I would be too!
I would definitely be on the phone with the vet or e-vet by now! And, I would absolutely follow whatever recommendation they make.
FWIW, my dog has never had a reaction like that to flea treatment. So, again, please continue to closely monitor your dog and be in communication with your vet or the e-vet. They will give you the best advice as to how to proceed.
Wishing you and your pup all the best!!!!
Don't sit at home typing here, GET THE DOG TO THE ER VET. 105.4 is CRITICAL!!!

Air Canada loads down in January, WestJet gains
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Air Canada, the county's No. 1 airline, said its planes flew less full last month even as smaller rival WestJet Airlines Ltd said its flights were more crowded.
Air Canada, said its load factor, the percentage of available seats filled with paying customers, slipped 0.6 percentage points to 77.5 percent from January, 2008, when the measure rose to a record for the month.
Traffic on Air Canada and its regional carrier Jazz, increased 4.1 per cent to 3.86 billion revenue passenger miles but that gain was more than offset by a 4.9 percent rise in capacity, or available seat miles, to 4.99 billion.
"This result is close to last year's record load factor for the same month underscoring the on-going effectiveness of our disciplined approach to capacity management in a difficult economic environment," Calin Rovinescu, Air Canada's chief executive, said in a statement. "
WestJet, the country's No. 2 airline, said on Wednesday its planes flew fuller in January, helped by increased vacation travel.
The carrier said its load factor rose to a record high of 78.8 percent from 76.8 percent in January 2009.
Traffic, or revenue passenger miles, increased 9.7 percent year-over-year, while capacity, or available seat miles, rose by 6.9 percent.
"As we continue to endure the challenges of an uncertain economy, we are happy to be starting 2010 on the right foot," said WestJet Chief Executive Sean Durfy. Continued...

Brand new to the site! Looking for suggestions regarding what to name my 6 week old female Tortoiseshell.
Hello, everyone! I joined the site today and I'm hoping for some suggestions; I just adopted a 6 week old female Tortoiseshell kitten yesterday and can't think of a name.
Here's a little background... I have two male kittens (brothers) who are brothers and just turned 1 year old on July 31st. I found these little guys on Halloween of last year so their names are Halloween inspired. Ouija is my nearly solid black little man (he has just two extremely small spots of white fur; one on his chest, and one between his hind legs), and Gremlin, also known as Grem Grem, or if we're feeling especially icky sweet, Baby Grem Grem is my grey and white cutie.
Even though the newest addition has nothing to do with Halloween, I think I'd really like to keep her name within the same theme. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I prefer simple names; here are some I've come up with so far:
Thank you all so much! :-)

Cage The Elephant To Release New Album in The Fall
Cage The Elephant will release their third studio album this Fall. Currently, the band is finishing up the record in the studio.
Front-man Matt Schultz offered this update:
"When we set out to make this record we had a few different vague ideas for what direction we wanted to move in musically, but as usual the end result turned out nothing like what we had originally envisioned. There was an element of playfulness and swagger absent on our last record that unexpectedly began to surface. At the same time the songs had a more inner-directed and reflective sound. Finally, we started experimenting with combining the two polar elements."
Cage The Elephant will play at the Time Warner Cable Arena on September 3 with Muse.

After issuing an update for iOS 7 last week to repair some of major flaws within in the lock screen, Apple may have to prolong another installment to fix this new glitch that was discovered by a German security firm called SR labs.
iMessage Not Working For Users; System Repair or Bug?
Twitter is filling up with complaints about iMessage not working for days. Is this a system glitch or standard maintenance?Click here to read more
In the video above, the new problem was discovered in the Airplane mode feature for iPhones. Although this hack is much more complicated than most of the other errors that have appeared, this still is alarming considering how easily these security features can be fooled.
Essentially, this error requires a thief to physically steal your phone. On the new feature created for iOS 7 called Control Panel, Airplane Mode can be accessed and turned on. This prevents you from using the Find My iPhone feature to locate your hijacked piece of hardware. Also, it blocks the Apple auto-wipe function giving the crook ample time to crack your password.
iOS 7 Bugs & Glitches: Update Reveals New Lock Screen Error
iOS 7.2 has created another lock screen glitch where users can hack iPhones with Siri or voice control features from another Apple device.Click here to read more
In case you weren't worried enough already, the researchers video shows that the Touch ID can be easily fooled as well. If the thief struggles with cracking the code, they can create a fake fingerprint to trick the iPhone 5S. Removing remnants of the owners fingerprint is simple and will take the hacker no more than an hour to do. No known blocks for this are know right now.

Dr. Hoenig is absolutely brilliant. As a Realtor I work with the public on a daily basis and I felt self conscious with myself because my eye lids had dropped unevenly, but Dr. Hoenig has given me back the confidence I was lacking for many years with the procedure I had done.
He TRULY goes beyond the call of duty when it comes to how personally he cares for each and every one of his patients. Dr. Hoenig is a phenomenal gift to his profession and to everyone else who chooses him for their surgeon. A world of thanks, Dr. Hoenig.

Minneapolis VA Health Care System
Historic Housing for our Veterans
In an ongoing effort to eliminate homelessness among Veterans and their families, VA plans to enter into agreements to provide more than 3,000 units of permanent and transitional housing for Veterans at 25 VA medical center campuses nationwide.
The Minneapolis VA Medical Center has been identified as one of the proposed development sites to provide 58 permanent housing units for Veterans.
The development site will be a 4-acre site on the Upper Post of Fort Snelling which will involve the rehabilitation of vacant historical buildings dating back to pre World War II.
According to a press release on Nov. 10, 2011, an estimated total of 5,300 units of affordable and supportive housing are expected to be provided to Veterans through this initiative, including projects currently underway.
The Secretary initially announced VA's plan to expand housing for homeless Veterans and their families in a press release on June 8, 2011.
The Building Utilization Review and Repurposing (BURR) initiative is a VA strategic effort to identify and repurpose underutilized VA land and buildings nationwide in support of VA's goal to end Veteran homelessness. The BURR initiative is assessing existing real estate assets with the potential to develop new housing opportunities for homeless or Veterans and their families at-risk for homelessness through public-private partnerships and VA's enhanced-use lease (EUL) program.
The Minneapolis Enhanced Use Lease website contains more detailed information on the project.

Hi Jason,
Although a 1x1 table is not, arguably, a table (in this case not
returning any table header is fine), a deeper inspection of the
instruction returned by Mathematica shows that *TableForm* has some
trouble in managing correctly what are and where are located the raw
headers and data. Compare
TableForm[{{0.473}}, TableHeadings -> {None, {"Value"}}]
TableForm[{{0.473}}, TableHeadings -> {{"Raw 1", "Raw 2"}, {"Value 1",
"Value 2"}}]
TableForm[{{0.473}}, TableHeadings -> {{"Raw 1"}, {"Value 1", "Value 2"}}]
TableForm[{{0.473}}, TableHeadings -> {{"Raw 1"}, {"Value 1"}}]
TableForm[{{0.473}}, TableHeadings -> {{}, {"Value 1"}}]
TableForm[{{0.473}, {}}, TableHeadings -> {None, {"Value"}}]
Note that the last line displays the header and the values correctly
line but at the cost of an additional empty raw.
Best regards,

This works for me:
1. Select graphics cell.
2. Copy it to the clipboard.
3. In the "Edit" menu choose "Convert Clipboard". In the dialog box go
for Encapsulated PostScript. Click "Save in File".
4. EPSF file generated this way can be placed into LaTeX2e or LaTeX209
document using, e.g.
\setlength{\epsfxsize}{6.5cm} % scaling of the figure
