With cactus buds forming and with temperatures warm but still far from summer's heat, spring is magic time in the desert. But the desert seems like a long way to travel in a month unblessed by long weekends.
That's why we love Saguaro National Park, a spectacular Sonoran desert bracketing two sides of the city of Tucson: You can fly into Tucson for a weekend of desert hiking and still be back at work on Monday.
Longtime Tucson resident Bill Broyles, author of Sunshot: Peril and Wonder in the Gran Desierto, has wandered countless Sonoran areas, from foreboding salt flats to the Eden-like wildflower fields of spring. Still, Saguaro National Park has a unique hold on him. "One of the first places my family visited when we moved to Tucson in 1951 was the cactus forest in the Rincons," he says. "It's a place that has always been part of our psyche."
The cactus forest is indeed unforgettable, especially in spring, when the park's namesake saguaros come into full bloom ― a magical sight, not least because it's so ephemeral. Saguaros themselves, on the other hand, have a timeless quality about them: They can grow up to 40 feet and live up to 200 years, often surviving drought, frost, and even lightning strikes.
You'll learn all there is to know about saguaros at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, which celebrates the Sonoran's diverse habitats. The museum is in the Tucson Mountains, so you can brush up on your botany before stepping out into the desert to see the real thing. And there lies the real beauty of the park: It's an essential part of Tucson. As Broyles puts it, "Saguaro National Park is one of the wild places that makes Tucson what it is."
For information, go to www.nps.gov/sagu or call 520/733-5100. Park admission is $10 per vehicle. Trail maps are available at both visitor centers.
Rincon Mountain District Visitor Center Drive or bike the 8-mile Cactus Forest Dr. (from the visitor center, take Freeman Rd. to Speedway Blvd.). Or try the Garwood Loop, a 5.3-mile route through a saguaro forest (take Douglas Spring Trailhead at the end of Speedway). Old Spanish Trail and Freeman Rd.; 520/733-5153.
Red Hills Visitor Center Covers the Tucson Mountain District. The easy King Canyon Trail climbs 3.5 miles (one way) to Wasson Peak, which offers the park's best views. 2700 N. Kinney Rd.; 520/733-5158.

Needing to take control of your Camaro or Firebirds rear suspension and eliminate the sloppy feeling? You can do it by using J&M Products new 4130 chrome-moly panhard rod. J&M has produced the only chrome-moly one piece no-weld double adjustable panhard rod on the market for the F-Body cars. We designed this panhard rod for the customers who want the strongest non-deflecting panhard rod available. Unlike other chrome-moly panhard rods, we use 1.25 diameter 4130 tubing with .095 wall and do not have the weld-in bungs which add weight and must be normalized and stress relieved to achieve proper strength. Anytime you weld chrome-moly the crystalline structure changes which makes the chrome-moly tubing and inserts the same strength as mild steel but also creates very brittle welds. To eliminate the affect of welding chrome-moly you MUST normalize, stress relieve, and heat treat the material to get it back to its original strength. We have accomplished a lighter and stronger panhard rod by swaging our tube down at the ends which allows us to thread directly into the tube without the need for the heavy weld in bungs which eliminates so there is no need to weld on the material. We also thread our tube with left and right hand threads which allows you to adjust the panhard rod on the car for fast east and accurate adjustments every time.
Fits Camaro and Firebird Models.
History and information about J&M Products and their products.
J&M Products produces adj-control arms brackets, ball joints, lower control arms, panhard rods, brake kits, shock tower braces, brake lines, shock tower braces, subframe connectors, upper control arms and Mustang control arms for your performance vehicle. You can trust J&M suspension parts because they have proven their parts are of excellent quality. They have been in the business of manufacturing aftermarket parts since 1963 and are constantly improving their products. Let the LMPerformance team help you with your Mustang, Firebird or Camaro suspension selection and get a great price!
J&M is a California-based company that has concentrated their efforts in manufacturing for the Camaro and Mustang. J&M suspension innovation is evident in the release of their entirely redesigned camber and caster plates for the 2005-2010 Mustang which affords increased camber adjustment compared to other brands and a unique design which allows you to install it for either street use or racing. If you find that your tires on your Mustang are wearing unevenly, or if you have lowered your Mustang, then you should consider installing the J&M caster camber plates. The benefits are multiple: correcting your suspension geometry after lowering it, less tire wear, adjustability, improved steering, and improved alignment. Caster camber plates may not increase your Mustang's power, but they will enhance your Mustang's suspension performance.
Diligent in their pursuit of innovative products, J&M designed and manufactured direct fit PTFE lined brake hose kits for your Mustang, Camaro and Firebird that routes and fits precisely because it uses OEM-style direct replacement and whose Teflon properties will not result in the squishy brake pedal feel you get when a rubber hose expands. In addition, the J&M brake hoses are designed with the performance driver in mind because they can withstand the rigors of extreme racing conditions and higher temperatures. Another unique product from J&M, the adjustable pan hard rod is primo quality, lightweight and keeps your rear axle where it should be for significant improvement in cornering and handling. Yet another innovation from J&M suspension, the improved upper and lower control arms are a perfect fit for your muscle car.

This week's show starts out (relatively) normally and then gets hijacked into holiday music territory...yikes! But, its not, we hope, the same old tripe you hear every year...no, no it's not. It's mostly old blues, jazz, soul and r+b, and then, the Damned, with quite possibly our favourite holiday song ever, "There Ain't No Sanity Claus". Thanks for listening to the Electric Compost Heap. We hope you heard something you liked! We'll catch up in early January, 2013.

Europe's Banking BluesMark Scott
A cold wind is blowing from the City of London to the shores of Frankfurt's Main River—and it has nothing to do with winter. Instead, the chill sweeping across the Continent's financial capitals owes to Europe's worsening economy, as analysts and policymakers revise downward their estimates for 2009 and banks come under renewed suspicion over the health of their balance sheets.
The devastation in just the past few days—especially in Britain—has been nothing short of breathtaking. On Jan. 19, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown unveiled a new program to provide banks with unlimited insurance against further multibillion-pound losses and a £50 billion ($73 billion) fund to buy high-quality but illiquid securities. Yet if anything, the latest bailout plan seems only to have made investors more skittish: Shares in giants such as Barclays (BCS) and the "new" Lloyds (LLOY.L), formed by the government-engineered merger of Lloyds TSB and Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS), have since tumbled by 40% and 56%, respectively.
Financial institutions on the Continent are also suffering from increased investor anxiety. Germany's stalwart Deutsche Bank (DB) is off more than 27% since it announced on Jan. 14 that it would post an unexpected 2008 loss of $6.3 billion from winding down exposure to risky financial investments. France's top bank, BNP Paribas (BNPP.PA), is down nearly 30% over the same period. And even Spain's thriving Santander (STD) is off 12% in the past week.
The common theme provoking the banking meltdown is increased worry over the European and global economy. To be sure, there are still concerns over exposure to bad American debt—everything from risky hedge funds to monies parked in the alleged pyramid scheme run by banker Bernie Madoff. But now, with European gross domestic product in decline, unemployment rising, and market sentiment on the skids, investors are increasingly nervous about homegrown issues: the danger of local loan defaults, asset writedowns, and continued sluggish lending.
Not Near the End
"Last year, it was the banks that almost brought down the economy. Now, it's the economy that's threatening the banks," says Pete Hahn, a fellow at City University's Cass Business School in London and a former managing director at Citigroup (C). "We are no way near the bottom of this problem yet."
Nowhere is the situation worse than in Britain. Last October, British banks got a £50 billion (now $69 billion) cash injection from the government. But now the country is entering its third consecutive quarter of negative growth and most economists expect GDP to contract by at least 2% this year. Unemployment has jumped by two percentage points, to 6.1%, over the last 18 months, home prices fell 16% in 2008, and consumer confidence is at a 30-year low.
For banks, that's translating into renewed balance-sheet risk. Nonperforming loans are on the rise and dozens of businesses are folding each day. No institution has been harder hit by such concerns than the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L), which was flying high just a year ago when it anchored a joint takeover of Holland's ABN Amro. On Jan. 19, RBS—now 70% owned by the British government thanks to an emergency rescue last year—announced annual losses that could hit £28 billion ($38.6 billion), the largest in British corporate history.
Investors weren't reassured by the government's backing and drove RBS shares down 66% in a single day. The bank is now worth just $6.8 billion, compared with $80 billion a year ago. "U.K. domestic banks are high-risk stocks at the moment," says analyst James Irvine at brokerage Dresdner Kleinwort in London.
Ireland's Banking Crisis
The same certainly applies in Ireland, which was one of the euro zone's economic success stories over the past decade but has recently hit a wall. The economy there is now expected to contract 4.6% this year (compared with a 6% jump in 2007), and unemployment could skyrocket to 12%, up from 4.6% at the end of 2007. The downturn is whacking Irish banks. On Jan. 15 the government was forced to nationalize Anglo Irish Bank (ANGL.I)—the country's third-largest lender—after the tumbling domestic real estate market left the bank highly exposed to now-illiquid international money markets.
The country's two biggest banks, Allied Irish Banks (AIB) and Bank of Ireland (IRE), have also received state aid of $2 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. Yet since the government nationalized Anglo Irish, both banks have subsequently lost more than half of their market value on fears that politicians may have to rescue them as well.
Continental banks are faring better but still feeling pressure. On Jan. 21 the French government announced a $13.6 billion cash injection into the domestic banking sector, taking total state aid to the French financial-services industry since last year to $27.2 billion. So far, only SociÉtÉ GÉnÉrale (SOGN.PA), France's second-largest bank, has agreed to a further $2.2 billion recapitalization, although analysts expect the country's other major institutions, BNP Paribas and CrÉdit Agricole (CAGR.PA), to accept similar bailouts.
"The [French] government's capital injection is not intended to compensate for weakness or failures. Rather, it is to head off any potential future problems," Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer told a conference in Abu Dhabi on Jan. 21.
Cash Injections
In Germany—Europe's largest economy—those problems have already started to hit. Munich-based Hypo Real Estate Bank (HRXG.DE), which has been battered by its investments in subprime loans, disclosed on Jan. 20 that the German government's Financial Markets Stabilization Fund has granted it an additional $15.4 billion in loan guarantees. The move brings the total aid the bank has received to $54 billion.
In addition, Frankfurt-based DZ Bank (ENEA.F), which acts as the central institution for the nation's cooperative banks, said on Jan. 20 that it lost $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter because of its exposure to troubled Icelandic banks and insolvent U.S. investment firm Lehman Brothers. The cooperative institutions that own DZ Bank have pledged $1.3 billion in fresh capital to keep the bank afloat.
Coming just a week after Deutsche Bank announced its unexpectedly large loss, the new revelations fueled fears that Germany's banking crisis is more severe than previously thought. A study by Germany's bank regulator estimates that banks there could be carrying as much $300 billion in bad debt on their books that may need to be written down, in addition to the $100 billion they have already reported. A spokesman for the regulator said the study is confidential and couldn't comment.
The Chill Is Just Settling In
How much worse could it get? In Britain, at least, the specter of potential nationalization looms just over the horizon. The government has already taken over two failed mortgage lenders, Northern Rock (NRKX.L) and Bradford & Bingley (BBP.L). Now the City is rife with rumors the government might pick up the 30% of RBS it doesn't already own—another reason the bank's shares have cratered.
In the view of Cass Business School's Hahn, the British government would like to avoid further nationalizations but may have to bite the bullet. Public officials won't necessarily run the banks better; they'll simply provide safer cover for debt. "You can't ask civil servants to manage complex financial instruments," Hahn says. "The government would be getting into uncharted territory."
True enough, but further drastic measures could be in the cards if the economies of Britain and its European counterparts continue to worsen. Economists now figure the global downturn will last well into 2010 and that banks will write down billions more in questionable assets between now and then. The chill could be here for a while.

Trim, Healthy (& Frugal) Tuesday Recipe: White Bean Chili (E Style)
If you are anything like me, you can totally appreciate a good chili recipe, and one that fits with Trim Healthy Mama parameters is a total BONUS! Today's chili recipe is a delicious rendition of white bean chili. I have adapted the recipes from Crockpot365 and DashingDish to make an amazing medley of flavors and creaminess to really bring out the yum! If you need a new twist on an old favorite, this is the recipe for you!
You will need/Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8 oz) chicken breast, cubed (raw or cooked)
- 2 cups chicken broth (or homemade stock)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen white corn, or 1 can drained
- 2 cans white beans
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (4 oz) can green chiles, chopped
- 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1/2 cup light sour cream (or fat free)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2-1 tsp Italian seasoning (or mixture of Italian herbs: basil, oregano, and parsley…1 tbsp total for fresh)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Low fat mozzarella, for topping
- Chop your onion and mince your garlic. Add to crockpot.
- Open and dump all other canned ingredients, plus chicken and sour cream.
- Add seasonings and salt to taste.
- Stir well.
- Simmer on low for 8-9 hours, or on high 4-6.
- Enjoy this with a dollop of light/fat free sour cream and sprinkle of low fat/fat free cheese. YUM!
Cost Breakdown
Since this is Debt-free living week, let's take a minute to figure out just how frugal this recipe is. Using local cost as my guide, I assess the canned beans to be about $1.10, canned corn at $.70 (frozen corn at $1/bag, but you will have some left over), onion $.35, garlic $.15, green chiles $.75, sour cream $1.50, and chicken breast $1 or less. Seasonings are nominal, or free if in your garden (BONUS!), but we will add $1 just to cover our expenses. This brings us to a total of $5.55, or less than $0.70 per serving! You can make it even cheaper by using leftover chicken meat from a whole cooked chicken meal, and using dried/soaked beans prepared in advance! Chicken is also an optional choice, but it adds a nice touch of protein and flavor to the dish. This is also an easy recipe to double up for larger families, or freezer meals.
Trim Healthy Mama – E Style
Not only is this a super frugal meal option, this is also a THM-friendly meal! This delicious recipe (before toppings with low fat or fat free cheese and sour cream) contains only 1.6 g fat and 21.5 g carbohydrates, which makes it a solid and lovely E meal. With chicken, it also provides 7.7 g of protein to help satiate and strengthen our beautiful bodies. Yum, yum, YUMMMMMM!

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Six years ago rapper Paul Wall hooked up with Vietnamese jeweler Johnny Dang, and the mouths of the South haven't been the same since. Dang's skills with grills are legendary in the hip-hop community, as is evident by the man's client list: Lil Jon, David Banner, Z-Ro, Mike Jones and Nelly, to name a few. It's easy to attribute a lot of this success to Wall's promotional skills, but you can't deny the benefits of TV Jewelry's factory-direct approach. You walk in, pick out a style, get fitted and come back when the work is done. And then you get to slobber all over the piece before walking out the door, just to make sure it's going to stay in place. Pearly whites, get ready to shine.
With the Houston 420 chain taking over this town, we searched far and wide for a head shop with quality selection, good prices and a friendly staff. (And we'll let you draw your own conclusions from that statement, thank you very much.) We found what we were looking for out on 1960, which isn't so surprising, really, when you consider how much smoke suburban kids toke. Rock 'N Roll It has just about everything a smoker needs: pipes, bongs, papers, vaporizers, dugouts, scales and clips. It's also got its fair share of extras, like beads, posters, stickers and T-shirts. But what we can't get enough of is the store's selection of inexpensive blown glass. All glass pipes break sooner or later, no matter how careful you are or how sturdy they're made, so you might as well buy yourself a cheap piece and puff away without worry. After all, that's what smoking's supposed to be all about. Smoke N' Toke, RIP.

Practically a living legend in the world of tattoos and piercing, Tiger John is a big enough authority to have spoken at the Houston Public Library on the history of tattoos and related health issues. Rather than opting for cookie-cutter stencil work like so many "artists" out there, Tiger John makes one-of-a-kind designs that exhibit the work of a true artist. His eye for detail is astonishing, especially when we look at his flash of Celtic images, intricate patterns composed of endless interwoven knots. Asian images are shaped and poised in just the right way to accent and compliment the contours of your body (a skill that is an art form within an art, really). His work might cost a bit more than some random joint in a strip mall, but it's folly to bargain-shop for something that will adorn your body even after death.
Wines, ports, lighters, pipes, chewing tobacco, pipe tobacco, and don't forget the cigars. The folks at this convenient boutique in Rice Village don't just work here. Ask them a question, any question, and they'll fill you in on the details. What corona will best complement a Fonseca Bin 27 Porto? Which blend has the fullest body but with hints of vanilla? Are there lighters designed specifically for pipes? What humidors are available to the light smoker on a budget? These people delight in the challenge of a good query. And when you're out of questions, they'll gladly snip the tip of your stogie for you, so it's ready when you are.
Have you seen Comfort & Joy, the offbeat comedy about a popular Scottish DJ who goes through an identity crisis after his shoplifting girlfriend leaves him during the holidays and he gets stuck in the middle of a feud between two rival ice cream magnates? If you haven't, you're not alone. The movie has been out of circulation on video for years, and the chances of it hitting DVD in the States are close to nil. Thank God there's a VHS copy waiting to be checked out at this Audio Video Plus location, otherwise known as the city's video vault. Whether it's uber-obscure flicks, Russ Meyer's T&A classics or HBO stand-up specials that were released during the '80s, it's available at Audio Video Plus, which reportedly has more than 60,000 titles backlogged and ready for rental. This is truly the spot in town where VHS tapes go when they die.

We know it's hot in Space City. For much of the year, venturing out on the streets is no fun because, frankly, the streets aren't air-conditioned. Some days, it's a shame we have to be outdoors for any reason, and this is especially true when we have to run mundane errands like picking up the dry cleaning. Dry Clean Super Store at the corner of 11th and Shepherd has the answer: a drive-thru. The service is quick and friendly, and they also turn out superclean and fresh clothing. You can pay when you drop off, to make the pickup even faster. And the best part is, you'll never have to leave your car.

Bruce Ackerman argues in today's Wall Street Journal that in President Obama's shady appointment Elizabeth Warren to an advisory role last week in order to bypass the Senate confirmation process "is another milestone down the path toward an imperial presidency."
Here is the deal: The Senate should change its rules to require an up-or-down vote on all executive branch appointments within 60 days. In exchange, the president should sign legislation to require Senate approval of all senior White House appointments. By reaching this agreement, the president regains the powers to govern effectively and the Senate regains its authority to approve all major appointments-regardless of their location in the executive branch.
This grand bargain requires both sides to give up the petty privileges of the existing system. Senators will lose their power to hold up nominations to blackmail the administration into approving their pet projects. Presidents will lose their ability to appoint super-loyalists who can't convince 51 senators that they merit powerful White House positions. But the rest of us will profit greatly from the reinvigoration of the founding principle of checks-and-balances for a new century.
What do you think? Would this system remedy the problem?

dropdown menu issues pagelines platform
First I want to say I am newbie and everything I know and understand when looking at CSS comes from the last week of trying to get WordPress to work for me.
Any advice you give me (for which I am extremely thankful) – should assume I know nothing, so if you are suggesting fixes, please pretend you are explaining them to your grandma.
I am not the only person with this problem but nothing I read seems to show a fix, and nobody who fixes it seems to come back around to say how they fixed it. We can not pay the $200 or similar to upgrade to the paid theme and get support directly from Pagelines forum so I am trying here. I hope that is not considered tacky. If so, I apologize.
I am using the "platform" free template from pagelines. The site in development stage is seedprograms.org/build.
The dropdown menus disappear on your way down with your cursor, sometimes. This appears as "flickering" or jumpiness. Not in IE. I think there is some kind of fix in place for IE that essentially breaks things in firefox and chrome. Just a theory You are more likely to see this if you zoom in on the browser because the area that creates a problem if your cursor hits it is only a small number of pixels, maybe 1. Again, seedprograms.org/build – try any dropdown menu.
The diagnosis I have done by using the "inspect" function in Firefox and causing the problem in slow motion is this:
-when your cursor moves from the main nav down toward the dropdowns, the problem arises when it hits an area called div#nav_row.main_nav.fix along the way. Again, this only happens at higher-level zooms on Firefox and Chrome.
When you hit this area and continue downward, your connection to menu navigation has been broken and you end up in div.mcolumn-pad with the dropdown having disappeared.
The dropdowns are already position: relative with a z-index of 28.
I have really not changed anything. On the pagelines forum the main thing the experts say when somebody has this problem is, disable all your plugins and see if that fixes it and if so bring them back one by one.
I have done this and it didn't help.
Thank you!

With the low price of VCRs and the imminent dominance of DVD, not many places repair VCRs anymore, but Contec still does. They also repair televisions, DVDs, CD players, tape decks, turntables, and stereo receivers. Best of all, they will even come to your house to look at the problem, although most repairs are done in the shop. Con-Tec is authorized for warranty work on most major brands. It might be prudent to bring a notepad with you, as the serviceman will probably give you much more information than you can digest at one time. Repairing obsolete stereo items is another specialty.

Big, overpowered sedans are not usually my favorite to drive on public roads, as I can barely tap their performance potential. But the 2014 Jaguar XJR managed to give me a fat, wide grin when I slogged it down a twisty back road.
With the Dynamic mode engaged, adding a red mist to the instrument display, and the transmission's Sport mode keeping the revs high, this big cat's engine broadcast its throaty growl across the surrounding cow pastures, changing pitch at each gear change when I braked then accelerated out of turns. The thick tires held onto the pavement and the suspension controlled the body's load shifts with finesse.
Two things in particular delighted me about the XJR. First, the eight-speed gearbox completely trashes the slushbox reputation of automatic transmissions. When driving with intent, braking and accelerating hard, a glance at the tachometer showed that this transmission was holding the revs up around 5,500rpm in the turns. The Sport program on this transmission was near-telepathic, finding the right gears before I knew I wanted them.
Second, Jaguar incorporates some extremely useful tricks into its LCD instrument display. The virtual gauges on this display look a little flat, but what I like is how Jaguar dynamically highlights the numbers around the ends of the speedometer and tachometer needles. I found it really easy to pick out the car's velocity and the engine speed on the gauges with a quick glance.
Top of the line
The XJR model, new for 2014, sits atop the XJ lineup in power and price. As for cabin amenities, besides some R badges and carbon fiber trim pieces, the XJR and its lesser XJ siblings are the same.
As Jaguar's flagship sedan, the XJR measures close to 17 feet long. The front shows off the classic Jaguar grille, wire mesh painted black for the XJR version. The roofline sweeps back toward the trunk, making a graceful line without hampering rear headroom. In fact, the rear seats are very comfortable and roomy, and would make a fine place to sit if the car weren't so fun to drive.
A curved ridge, what a sailor would call a gunwale, comes lined with carbon fiber and runs around the front of the cabin, undercutting the windshield. Glossy carbon fiber panels line the doors, while the console is topped by the round, metal dial of the drive selector. That's another thing I like about the XJR. Jaguar does away with the fiction of a gear shifter, acknowledging that the transmission's modes are electronically actuated. It's nice to see an automaker think beyond legacy controls.
The cabin design is, to use an appropriate Britishism, quite posh.
However, I wasn't as impressed with the glossy black plastic surrounding the car's touch-screen LCD. It flexed and creaked with the feel of cheap electronics when I poked at it.
The standard cabin electronics in the XJR follow those I've seen recently in the Jaguar F-type, not exactly cutting-edge, but serviceable. The touch screen responds reasonably quickly and the information is well-organized. The graphical design is far from elegant, though, and could use restyling to fit the upscale Jaguar brand.
There is also a voice command system, but it only covers the basics. Sure, I could place a phone call by saying the name of a contact stored in my phone, but I couldn't do more with the stereo other than choose an audio source. Entering addresses for navigation required tediously saying each part -- city, street, and number -- after a prompt.
The navigation system's maps also look a little crude and washed-out compared with what you might expect from a luxury brand, although they do show in plan and perspective views. Jaguar integrates traffic information, which route guidance can use to detour around traffic jams. But this system doesn't show the expanded traffic coverage over more surface streets I've seen in other cars.
Voice prompts for route guidance didn't call out street names, which was disappointing, but I liked the graphics for upcoming turns. And I especially liked that those graphics appeared on the left side of the instrument cluster, another good use of this LCD panel.
Jaguar incorporated all the usual audio sources into the stereo: Bluetooth streaming, iOS integration, USB drive, HD Radio, and satellite radio. There is no option to rip CDs to the hard drive in the dashboard, not that I missed that feature, and there are no online music apps incorporated into the car. Jaguar has, so far, kind of ignored the whole connected-car idea embraced by other automakers.
Focusing on more traditional luxury technology, Jaguar gave the XJR a superb Meridian audio system. I was previously impressed by the Meridian audio system in the Range Rover Sport, and the XJR's version confirmed this brand's quality. With an 825-watt amp and 17 speakers, this system produced excellent clarity and depth.
Playing The Who's "My Generation," the system broadcast each instrument with incredible distinction. I could hear the complex fluttering of John Entwistle's bass strings and the shrill raucousness of Pete Townshend's guitar. Roger Daltrey's stuttering vocals came though like I had never heard them before. Whatever type of music I fed this system, it consistently gave me a very satisfying listening experience.
While driving the XJR fast along backroads, it was almost tough to choose whether to listen to the stereo or the engine. Almost.
Engine stop
In normal driving, crawling through city traffic or buzzing down the freeway, the purr of the XJR's supercharged 5-liter V-8 was inaudible, mostly because the transmission and engine control software kept the engine speed down to around 1,500rpm. Stopped at red lights, the XJR's idle-stop feature turned off the engine entirely.
Idle-stop features are still a bit controversial, as all but hybrid drivers get a little anxious when their engines turn off while stopped in traffic, but I think Jaguar has this system tuned well. The company says that the engine comes back to life more quickly than you can move your foot from brake and accelerator, which proved true during my time with the car. It never delayed my starts, and I appreciated that gas wasn't wasted when I was stuck at a light.

In the last few years the popularity of 5ks has increased significantly. These races are much easier to train for than something like a marathon or half-marathon. You can easily work up to running a 5k by training just a few times a week. Not to mention, race day for a 5k is extremely convenient. All you need to do is arrive at the race, warm up for a quick 10 to 20 minutes, race for about 40 minutes, cool down and then just enjoy the post-race activities. Since these races have become so popular, you have many options to choose from if you wish to participate.
Here are just a few reasons why you should choose ours, the Flower to Tower 5k Run/Walk as your next event.
Located in scenic Bucks County, Bowman Hill's 134-acre site features nearly 800 species of Pennsylvania native trees, ferns, vines, shrubs and herbaceous perennial wildflowers. These include more than 80 native species designated as Plants of Special Concern in Pennsylvania, including rare, endangered and threatened plants. During the month of our 5k in October Witchhazel, or Hammamelis virginiana will be in full bloom. Along with these beautiful seasonal plants, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of our fall foliage and the trees of the preserve. The Flower to Tower course winds through the preserve's picturesque trails and continues up to Bowman's Hill Tower.
Our Mission
The Flower to Tower 5k benefits conservation and education programs at the Preserve. We welcome garden clubs, civic groups, senior groups, bus tours, nature organizations, Master Gardeners, schools, scouts and many more to our site to enjoy our fun and educational tours. We also invite families to come out and enjoy one of our programs or simply take a walk on our trails enjoying what nature has to offer together. Our mission is to inspire the appreciation and use of native plants by serving as a sanctuary and an educational resource for conservation and stewardship. With the help of your participation in the Flower to Tower 5k we are able to continue with our mission to the community.
Family Fun
Some 5ks aren't meant for the entire family to participate, but ours is definitely meant for family fun! For children and those who don't wish to run the course we will also have a 1-mile Fun Walk that will begin at 8:30 AM on race day. The 5k Run will begin at 9 AM for both children and adults who wish to participate. Whether you are a competitive runner, a casual jogger, or you simply walk for exercise, our event is designed to excite and inspire you and leave you with a real sense of accomplishment. After the race there will be local entertainment, light refreshments and much more family fun!
The Flower to Tower 5k Run/Walk is sure to be a fun, one-of-a-kind event designed for all to enjoy! To register for the event, to view our sponsors or to get more information about the event, go to: http://www.bhwp.org/special-events/Flower-to-Tower-5K-Run-Walk.htm.
We hope you join us to RUN THE HILL!

Picked up my new G19! Can't wait to get to the range and try it out. I love Florida (moved from NY) picked up 2 more hi-cap Glock mags and 2 30round AR mags.

hey man i was also just at this show!
It was way bigger than the lakeland show and went with a roommate who couldn't believe some of the stuff you could buy.
I can't believe how big shoot straight is, they are deffinately running the show...
i picked up a thunderwear pouch for 30 bucks and a spare mag for 40 (which i feel was probably overpriced)
You will enjoy your Glock 19 immensely, I know because I own one with 4 magazines. My son-in-law who is in the Navy purchased a Glock 23 .40 S&W. Now if we could just get NATO to adopt the .40 as the new standard pistol caliber, oh well just dreaming. 10mm NATO sounds cool though!
God bless our troops!
Lopadrino: I was at the Tampa gunshow today too........How did you like that line of people waiting to get in??? It took me about 20 minutes to get in @ 9:30 this morning. I think everyone is thinking that in the likely chance that Obama gets in, you may not see any more gunshows!!!!!
Congrats on the 19....it's a great gun! I got a set of Mepro night sights installed on my G-27.
I too think you will like the G19
I've owned two in the past and loved them
Zoe: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
Book: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."
I got there around 1 and there was no line. I could not believe they charged for parking (never do for concerts). I also could not believe the price on the 19... $489 cash. Of course the atm wasnt working so I had to use a card. All in all it was $523 out the door, plus I picked up a 50 count box of speer gold dot hp's for $22 bucks. Yes, shoot straight is UNREAL. Guy rolling around on those segways and did you see the amount of people at there table filling out purchase paperwork????????? Loved seeing lots of McCain and Palin shirts as well! Any one notice the Obama pictures near the AR's?? All in all great day..... I saw a pistol grip mossy 500 for $289 and a Century Waser for $429 but couldnt spend that much money.
I managed to make it to the Tampa show today also. It was 4:30 and was ready to leave anyway and someone hit the fire alarm and they cleared the building. As we were walking out they announced false alarm!
I admit the Glocks for the most part were priced ok. I unfortunatley was not there for a Glock and everything that I was looking for from ammo to another addition was pricey to say the least. I must have got there to late and all the good stuff was gone. A friend of mine had a table there and sold most all of his stuff early.
Shoot Straight did have a massive table. But like there store they are proud of there product. Very nice selection though!
I couldn't believe the prices for some of the handgun ammo. The same thing you can buy at Walley World was 3 to 6 bucks more there.
All in all glad I went.
I've enjoyed reading the 'exuberance' all of you have for the gun show you attended!! That's the way all of America should feel about our 2nd Amendment rights.
Sadly, we're facing a real threat to those rights and the threat gets stronger every election cycle!! I sincerely hope we all are able to celebrate great gun shows in our future!!!
If not, I fear there will be one heck of a rebellion from everyone that was 'standing in line' to get into your show!!!
"Courage is being scared to death ...... but saddling up anyway" John Wayne
I went to the Tampa Gun Show also. I will say that the prices were o.k.. It seemed that shows prior offered better pricing. I took the G27 to get an add-on installed, and I had 7 people walk-up to me asking to buy my pistol. Needless to say, next time I take it; it will be in a bag. I did find some Federal HST in a box of 50 for $24 so I got an o.k deal on that. I do not like Shoot Straight, but it was amazing the crowd they draw. They are definitely a bit arrogant though..
Glock27/ KaBar TDI/ MTAC Holster. I have more also, but this combination works well..
Only in America...Freedom to openly own firearms, freedom to spend a Saturday dreaming and drooling over the next pony in the stable, freedom to hang with others of like mind. Get out and bring in all your buds and lasses to the polls. You guys and gals living in the swing states with lots of Electoral College delegates will be the key to either BO having the opportunity steal our freedoms or McCain/Palin being able to block the liberal majority in both houses of congress. This is a time to gather all your strength and let your preferences be known at the ballot box.
I was at the Tampa Gun Show yesterday. Picked up a Glock 29 from Shoot Straight. Also found some inexpensive range ammo from Georgia Arms.
If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars make people drive drunk, and spoons make people fat.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.
Welcome to the Glock Club!! AND YES NEW YORK IS A GREAT PLACE TO BE FROM!!! I where my "New Yorker" status WITH PRIDE!!! Good Luck finding pizza and a bagel(NEVER a bialy)down south!! They are however,LIGHT YEARS ahead in the exercise of our 2nd Amendment rights!! Enjoy the pistol !!

oil fouled plug?
ok last time i posted something about my problem i didnt check all the plugs only a couple and took the asumpsion that they all where fine. to make a long story short. i pulled the spark plugs and one had oil on it.
because it is one plug does this mean my problem is bad pistion rings?
i always thought it was bad valve seals. and i was planning on rebuilding my heads soon.
or could this possable be just a bad valve seal at that cylinder?
im thinking about just tighting the rockers and such on the heads and hope this fix's it. or is that pointless?
Rocker adjustment will make no difference. your rings could be bad in that cylinder, or bad valve guides, but before you dig into this, I`ll explain this. I have a sbc in a cutlass, it always showed signs of oil usage on the number 1 cylinder, compression was normal, the heads were new throughout, seals, guides, the works, it still used oil especially on that cylinder. Number 2 showed some, but not like 1 did, the rest of the cylinders looked normal with very very little sign of oil, it used about a quart of oil a week, but never showed any smoke out of the tail pipe, finally, I narrowed it down to the pcv valve, most cases, such as mine, the stock air cleaner is chunked for a open element job, and if the valve covers are stock the breather tube is left open with no filter on it, or aftermarket valve covers are used a push in breather is used, I have aftermarket covers and used a push in breather, after time the element inside the breather breaks down into nothing until the breather is empty, I replaced the breather with a new one and the oil usage stopped, either with factory covers or aftermarket, the breather side of the pcv system must have a functioning breather to restrict it or the result is oil sucked into the pcv, the mystery to why it showed up more in some cylinders than others is odd, but the problems solved, which was good enough.
my sbc is almost like that except sometimes i get a puff of smoke on start up. if my car is idleing with the hood open you can see the smoke coming out the breather. one vavle cover has a pcv system and the other side has a breather and then the cap to put oil in. when i rev it up the smoke goes away but if it idles i have some smoke. not enough to see it with the hood closed but it just doesnt seem good seeing smoke coming out the breather like it does. im not sure exactly how much oil it uses up because i have a small leak at the drain plug but i am assuming about a quart every 2 weeks i put in. i dont know what cylinder this is but it is the one the farthest back on the passanger side below the breather. the engine is an 80-85 305sbc.
If you get smoke out of the exhaust at start up that`s whitish blue that`s oil smoke, more than likely valve seals or valve guides. the vapor coming out of the breather at idle is common. make sure your breather has a good element inside it.
yeah i tryed different breather elements like the open k&n one and i just went back to the old metal mushroom shaped push in breather. my friends car is bad at start up like a big puff of smoke but mine isnt that bad it doesnt happen all the time

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Puppy Behavior (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/)
- - HELP! My 7Month Old Male GSD is "attacking" (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/puppy-behavior/199532-help-my-7month-old-male-gsd-attacking.html)
HELP! My 7Month Old Male GSD is "attacking"
My 7 month old male german shepherd is starting to "attack" my family and i. I read online that it could be puberty. Sometimes it seems like he is just playing and sometimes he Wraps his mouth around our wrists and shakes viciously and wont let go. We have to have someone pull him off when hes doing it to us. HELP please. He has already went through puppy training.:help:
Keep on with training classes and give him outlets for his energy. Does he have toys/tugs/balls to fetch?
Practice Nothing in Life is Free.
He's just getting over the teething stage and some dogs get oral again when the adult teeth come in. Make sure he has raw fresh knucklebones to work his mouth.
Can you provide more details as to what leads up to the behavior in question? Have you noticed any patterns - i.e. time of day, type of play, type of interaction?
Based on when he does it (you say when he's playing or when you come home, which are both very fun, exciting times for a dog), I suspect it is a play behavior that is out of control.
I think you do need a trainer's help. Puppy class is great for basic manners, but training your dog is a lifelong process and when he develops an unwanted and potentially dangerous behavior like this, it's a good sign that you guys need a tune-up. Can you call the trainer who taught your puppy class about this?
How much exercise does he get every day? I agree with onyx'girl that often aggressive play behaviors like this pop up when the dog isn't getting enough stimulation. A tired dog is a good dog, and all the toys and chews in the world aren't going to tire out a puppy without humans or other dogs to help.
I also agree with Nothing in Life is Free training, and not tolerating this behavior. The second he gets amped up enough to attack, he needs to be shut down. In the absence of professional help, I would recommend a time-out or similar deprivation-based correction, rather than a physical punishment. With dogs who are already biting, there's too much potential for it to escalate into serious aggression if you use physical punishments without knowing exactly what you're doing.
But really, working in-person with a good local trainer is going to be your best bet here, IMO.

rail mounted push pole holding systems from Florida Backcountry!
The ever increasing popularity and capability of the bay boat
as a functional flats skiff has many anglers outfitting such
craft with push poles. Push poles are cumbersome and securing
them on these craft has presented problems, especially when
running on open water. Florida Backcountry has developed a
rail mounted system that keeps push poles secure.
Rail Mate push pole holders are available in
both FIXED and SWIVEL models. The FIXED model allows for mounting
on both vertical and horizontal rail sections. The swivel model
allows mounting on most any rail configuration. Rubber Friction
strips keep your push pole protected from scratches as well
as from sliding fore and aft. A bungee holds your pole secure,
even in rough water conditions. Fits all standard 7/8 in. to
1 inch rail used throughout the industry. Available in sets
of three units for boats over 14 feet in length as well as
individually for shorter applications. All models come complete
with stainless steel mounting hardware.
RMF2, fixed holder for horizontal or
vertical applications. for price
Model RMS2 a single black swivel mount holder
for any angled rail configuration
Model RMS and RMS2, swivel mount allows
for any rail configuration.
for price
Two models of the Rail Mate are available. The Rail
Mate is an open design allowing for quick storage
and made of durable ABS plastic and carries a Limited Lifetime
Guarantee. White in color.
Rail Mate 2 is an improved compact design which
allows secure fastening by circumventing the push pole with
a snap closer. Manufactured out of durable Delrin plastic and
carries a Limited Lifetime Guarantee.

Understanding Booms and Busts in Housing Markets
Craig Burnside, Martin Eichenbaum, and Sergio Rebelo
CQER Working Paper 12-02
February 2012
Download the full text of this paper (703 KB)
Some booms in housing prices are followed by busts. Others are not. In either case it is difficult to find observable fundamentals that are correlated with price movements. We develop a model consistent with these observations. Real estate agents have heterogeneous expectations about long-run fundamentals but change their views because of "social dynamics." Agents meet randomly with one another. Those with tighter priors are more likely to convert others to their beliefs. The model generates a "fad": The fraction of the population with a particular view rises and then falls. Depending on which agent is correct about fundamentals, these fads generate boom-busts or protracted booms.
JEL classification: E32
Key words: housing prices, real estate, social dynamics

The Weekly Vice) - Valerie Nile, a 44-year-old Friendship woman, was jailed Tuesday after she allegedly threatened a man with several knives because he and his roommate refused to have a threesome with her.
According to the Knox County Sheriff's Office, Nile was reportedly hanging out at her neighbors' residence located at a mobile home park, when the trio began discussing the possibility of having a threesome.
When Nile's hopes of carrying out the threesome didn't materialize, she allegedly became enraged.
That's when she went to the kitchen, grabbed three knives and began threatening the male victim with them.
The victim, 56-year-old Edward Sabato, fled the residence and called 911.
When officers arrived on the scene, they found the female roommate, 30-year-old Shawna Chickering, asleep on the couch. She stated that she did not witness the incident.
Chickering's two children were sleeping in a bedroom during the incident.
Nile was booked into the Knox County Jail and charged with threatening and terrorizing. Her bond was set at $250 cash.

A life of daily danger - in Canada
Expand Messages
- Street life for aboriginal poor in Montreal proving more and more deadly
A life of daily danger
by Stefan Christoff
As night falls over Montreal, the disturbing reality facing many First
Nations people in this city becomes apparent as the park benches,
alleyways and stairwells surrounding Cabot Square, at Atwater metro,
transform into sleeping dens for dozens of urban indigenous people,
most originating from Northern Quebec.
As the winter months rest around the corner, fear of freezing deaths
within Montreal's urban indigenous communities is on the rise.
"[E]xposure to the elements is a major concern throughout the year,
especially in the freezing months," explains Brett Pineau,
co-ordinator of the street patrol team for Montreal's Native
Friendship Centre, a non-profit community organization on the corner
of St-Laurent and Ontario that serves an estimated 1,750 indigenous
people in the greater Montreal area. "In January, February, as
temperatures drop to minus 25 [Celsius] or lower, a number of
Montreal's urban aboriginals fall asleep at night and never wake up
the next morning."
"Each year the Native Friendship Centre loses community members to the
streets," continues Annie Pisuktie, an Inuktitut-speaking outreach
worker for the centre.
Around five indigenous people die on the streets of Montreal each year
due to multiple factors including freezing, drug overdose and physical
abuse or street violence, according to the centre. The majority of
indigenous people who die on Montreal streets are from Northern
Quebec's Inuit communities or from Nunavut.
"Three years ago my niece died on the streets of Montreal," explains
Pisuktie. "After the death, as we were in mourning, her body stayed in
the morgue for two full weeks as I frantically raised the thousands
[of dollars] involved in sending the body back to the north, without
any assistance from the government."
Street suicide is another growing reality for urban First Nations in
Montreal, according to the Native Friendship Centre.
"One man who was in contact with us at the centre recently committed
suicide on the street," continues Pisuktie. "This man who took his own
life had been beaten by the Montreal police numerous times in the
past, and when a friend called the police in the middle of a dispute,
[he] committed suicide that same evening."
Walking around in the early morning hours, accompanied by an outreach
team from Montreal's only grassroots centre servicing urban indigenous
people, quickly illustrates the striking extent of the crisis facing
Montreal's homeless First Nations people. Alleged abuses and violence
at the hands of police are widely discussed in conversations that
crisscross between English, French and Inuktitut in city alleyways.
"Many people from our communities end up in Montreal for medical
reasons, specialized medical treatment, which you can't access on the
reservations," says Pineau. "Given that life on the reservation in
Northern Quebec is basically Third World conditions, often people are
forced to relocate to the city as basic needs on the reservations
aren't being met in terms of health care, education [and] clean
drinking water."
Relocating to Montreal from Northern Quebec translates into major
readjustments in terms of language, culture and lifestyle.
"Most people in Canada don't understand the ongoing trauma facing our
people due to colonization. Rage is still inside of our people, as
many of our families were ripped apart by the Canadian government,"
continues Joey Saganash, a youth outreach worker at the centre,
"especially in past generations when many children went to government
residential schools and never returned."
Life for indigenous people on the streets of Montreal is like war.
"Our people are on the streets, facing a hard life of drugs, alcohol,
cold weather," explains Saganash. "You can look really good coming
into the street, and five years later you can look like you went
through a war. Every day there is danger coming at you."
