Are you a die hard Firefox fan? Do you love using Firefox add-ons and can't imagine surfing the internet without them? There are a lot of add-ons for Firefox, and some of them are quite useful too, but the problem comes when you want to use the same set of add-ons in multiple computers.
Here's an example: You have two computers – one at your office and another at your home. You want to use the same set of Firefox add-ons on both computers without having to install all the add-ons individually. Also, you would want to sync Firefox settings across multiple computers which means any changes made on one computer will reflect in the second computer as well.
There is another problem with Firefox extensions – backup. After a system format, you have to install all of the add-ons from scratch.
To solve this problem, you can use FEBE – a Firefox add-on to backup your settings, bookmarks, extensions and other important stuff. Later, you can simply mount the file on another computer and all the add-ons are in place. Here is a quick step by step guide to backup Firefox extensions and use them on multiple computers:
1.Go to the FEBE download page and install the extension in Firefox.
2.Restart Firefox and go to Tools > FEBE > FEBE Options.
3.Now you will see a lot of options in the resulting window. In the "Options" tab, select "Backup extensions" and "back up themes". Leave all other options untouched.
4.Switch to the "Directory" tab and select the location where you would want the extension to save the backup files.
It's recommended to choose a directory in a non system drive, which means you have to create a folder on a drive where the operating system is not installed.
5.In the "Schedule" tab you can schedule an automatic backup of Firefox preferences. You can schedule the backup daily or create a weekly backup. If you do not want to perform an automatic backup, leave all checkboxes unchecked.
6.The extension allows you to automatically upload a copy of the backup file at popular file sharing service – Box.net. You can enter the Box.net preferences in the "Box.net" tab as shown below:
7.Click "Verify" and the setup part is over. You are ready to backup all your Firefox preferences, including add-ons, bookmarks, passwords and use them on multiple computers.
How to Manually Backup Firefox Add-ons using FEBE
How to Manually Backup Firefox Add-ons using FEBE
To perform a manual back up click Tools > FEBE and select "perform backup".
This will freeze Firefox for a minute, but when the backup job is over, you will find new backup files in the specified directory.
Restoring Firefox Add-ons in other computers
Now when you want to restore this backup on another computer, start Firefox and Install the FEBE extension as usual. Next restart Firefox and select Tools > FEBE > Restore and select "Restore extensions".
This will open a window and you can simply navigate to the extension back up folder created earlier and browse the required files one by one. Once all the backups are in place, restart Firefox and enjoy using all the add-ons!
Note: The Firefox versions used in both computers should be exactly similar or else some add-ons might not work after a backup/restore job.

humble pie...if you don't have proof, then you're probably experiencing fake outrage
The CDN dollar is down today-I blame Putin. Lets face it-if the guy can control the US election, Brexit, the German elections and Italy he can certainly tank the CND dollar. Have you got a problem or have you screwed up? Blame Putin.
i underlined the proof. Everybody knows that a short-term one-time "ambasssador to Uzbekistan" is a honourary reward appointment. The twerp himself is a self-confessed julian assange associate & a Wikileaks practitioner. The Daily Mail is a laughingstock british tabloid that posts nothing but celebrity gossip plus rumours & lies to drive traffic.
(i see nelley has joined the thread) (what the forum needs right now is to pen the small handful of senile alt-right crackbars together here in this one lalaland thread) (it's the only way cmf forum can save itself) (otherwise all the cmf regulars are going to depart in disgust)
(there aren't very many of you kryptos here in cmf) (but since you are all so extremely noisy, you have managed to hijack & poison what was, once upon a time, long ago, a successful working financial forum)
(bass what - if anything - have you got to contribute in finance) (we already know that poor nelley is a financial illiterate)
ego borago gaudia semper ago
I think fake news is a very important topic right now because it is front and centre in all media. This attention could also bring us to censorship and curtailment of free speech. We really need free speech since the mainstream media is doing such a poor job, using their power to push the opinions they want us to see.
Rusty it is funny how their never has been much attention drawn to financial sites, who have been spewing possible fake news for a very long time.
Bass player I am getting concerned about the trouble that could come by this constant heavy barrage of mainstream media news that hasn't been confirmed. It is every bit as dangerous as the concerns about the fake news sites.
Humble I like your venom and push it does add to the conversation because it holds everyones feet to the fire. I disagree that it causes other CMF members to leave, unless the attacks are personal and foul language is used. I like the other opinions they are interesting to read again as long as they stay civil. Look at james and olivaw we disagree a lot but it doesn't change the respect we have for each others opinion.
I am in the middle of a 15 month "gap" between my early retirement and when my small pension kicks in, which is being funded by savings and RRSP's. I found this site when looking for financial forums in an attempt to improve my financial knowledge. I have contributed on some other topics, but mostly just read them to learn.
This is HUGE-just like the MSM said Alex Jones has been caught red handed working for Putin-must see video for sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbCxIgin5b0
That was funny Nelley.
Bass that was a good explanation, many people come here just to read the threads and pick up information. I don't mind this at all and enjoy your posts in this section of the forum.
More breaking news:
Donald Trump and his cabinet of billionaire CEOs are secretly Commies working hand in glove with Vladimir Putin
Clint Eastwood is secretly a transvestite midget
Oprah Winfrey is secretly a Grand Kleagal in the Ku Klux Klan
Seriously, if anyone tried to sell the story that Bernie Sanders was a Putin puppet everyone would laugh, and he is an actual Socialist.
Fake news certainly crept into our political discussions.
zerohedge, Alex Jones Infowars, RT. There was a time when no CMFer would admit to going anywhere near such trash sites. Now we have posters who read them, believe them and defend them.
If you have something to say - then say.

One of Dan Bylsma's biggest mistakes during his tenure as Penguins coach was his misuse/non-use of defenseman Simon Despres.
Despres, 22, was the Penguins' first-round pick in 2009. He could do no right in Bylsma's eyes. Despres played when injuries dictated, and often played well. But when options were available, Despres got scratched as soon as he made a mistake. One could imagine Bylsma wringing his hands in glee when Despres erred.
That's no way to develop a young player of pedigree. Let him play through it, especially during meaningless mid-season games.
But Bylsma sure loved to win those, didn't he? Nothing better than beating Calgary in December.
Conversely, Craig Adams could do no wrong in Bylsma's eyes. At one time, the veteran forward was a serviceable fourth-line player.
Not this past season. Adams, 37, was minus-16. To paraphrase new GM Jim Rutherford, you can't have a fourth-line player go minus-16. Adams was often the Penguins' worst player. He was an absolute liability.
Adams played all 82 games. That's insanity.
Let a washed-up bum play through tough times, times get tougher. Let a young kid with talent play through tough times, things get better.
Bylsma played favorites. The above comparison makes that all too clear.
That brings us to Pirates outfielder Starling Marte. Never saw that coming, did you?
Marte is hitting .249 with 12 doubles, three triples, four home runs and a .697 OPS. His stats are down from last year, but hardly disastrous for a player in his second full big-league season.
But manager Clint Hurdle overreacted, and fans followed suit. First Hurdle bounced Marte all over the lineup. Then Hurdle benched Marte for the best part of a week. Hurdle cited the inadequate number of at-bats Marte had at the Class AAA level, thus providing context for Gregory Polanco's future failure.
Hurdle usually gets it right. Not this time.
Hurdle needs to put Marte in left field, and in the leadoff spot, every day. Marte is 25. Experience will make him better.
What are Hurdle's options? When Jose Tabata plays more, he plays worse. Same goes for Josh Harrison. Travis Snider should be a Washington Wild Thing.
Let Marte play through it.

If I put a tree in a wood chipper, can i use the chipped wood in my garden?
I have a tree that needs to be chopped down. I was thinking about asking the tree trimmer to put the who tree in a wood chipper. Does anybody know if I can use these wood chips in my garden on top of the soil. I figure it should look decent. One concern is will it cause a termite problem?
It will be fine ,but if green, could possibly leach nitrogen from the soil, so for decoration or walk way it will be fine, for adding to the soil in a garden, not so good.
You can use wood chips as mulch without having to worry about nitrogen being removed from the soil. If you were to mix the wood chips into the soil you would get a little bit of nitrogen loss from the soil as the wood chips decompose. The whole idea of wood chips being a nitrogen-robbing problem for your garden is a myth.
What type of tree do you plan on chipping?
My Grandfather many years ago used chips from grinding a pine stump and the turpentine was volatile. Not good results and it took a few years for the soil to recover.
On top of the soil, yes.
In the soil, not such a good idea as already mentioned.
Termites- It could, depending on your area and where you plan to use them relative to the house. In other works, if you use them a good ways from the house, it could draw them there away from the house. Or it could draw them into your yard from the neighbors. This could be similar to using Japanese beetle traps.
Most chips from a tree crew chipper are coarse and irregular. They won't look good in a flower bed but if you wanted to use them in a vegetable garden and till them in at the end of the year probably so. Or if you use them around shrubs at the rear of the yard.
thanks for your opinions. It turns out the least expensive tree trimmer I can find doesn't own a wood chipper anyway. With the mixed opinions, I think I will just hire the him.

Bachmann opponent suddenly retires, too
posted at 11:03 am on May 31, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
After Michele Bachmann announced her retirement this week, many people — Republicans included — thought the move would make it easier for the GOP to hold MN-06 with a fresh face. Looks like Bachmann's already-announced opponent, Jim Graves, agrees:
Minnesota Democratic congressional candidate Jim Graves plans to halt his campaign to replace Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann in Congress just days after she ruled out a re-election run, according to his top aide.
Campaign manager Aaron Wells told The Associated Press that Graves will issue a statement later Friday explaining the decision. Graves was quoted as saying the goal of unseating Bachmann was complete.
That leaves both parties without a candidate … and Republicans with a Cook index of R+8 in the district. Small wonder that Graves would rather spend his money on other pursuits.

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us are. Very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad."
On a side note I heard a promo on News Radio for the ABC's upcoming radio coverage of the NSW election this morning and was a bit dismayed that they'd used all sorts of techniques to make the voiceover sound like a bad Cher song mixed in with a desperately dramatic commercial TV promo.
Thank you Ted Turner.
On the other hand, the coverage on the abc website has been excellent.
Spare a thought for the staff remaining on site at the nuclear facility. I recall reading about the people that stayed on site to try and diminish the impact of chernobyl. Most of them died from radioactive poisoning in the weeks following the event.

Sara Schaefer and Nikki Glaser are my best friends.
OK, so we've never met in person. But after spending a year listening to their podcast, You Had to Be There, it feels like we go way back.
Each week I look forward to YHTBT to hear the latest news about the comedians' careers, tidbits about their personal lives and interviews with up-and-coming comedians and musicians.
Like good friends, they never let me down. And I tried my best not to sound like a geeky fan in this interview, tied to our 100 People of the Year list:
Hey, guys! The other day you were teasing a big announcement ...
Sara: We're doing a pilot with MTV. And that's kind of all we can say, but we are shooting a pilot, and if it gets on TV then it will be a big deal! We're actually at MTV now working on it.
Oh my gosh, that's so exciting.
Sara: It's really awesome, and we're very excited about it.
Is it like the podcast?
Sara: They don't want us to give too much detail but no, it's not exactly like the podcast. But it's inspired by it, I would say.
Well, congrats. They need more cool ladies at MTV. So, for those who might not be familiar with the podcast, can you tell me how it started? It seems like you guys are getting to know each other on the air.
Nikki: Definitely. We met a couple weeks before we started the podcast at a party. Within minutes, we both talked about how we wanted to start a podcast. I've said that to a couple people before -- I guess drunkenly -- like, "Let's just start a podcast!" But this one we actually followed through on.
Most of our time we spend together is on the podcast, so we catch up on each other's lives live on the show. So we've become friends on tape. It's pretty cool.
One thing I love about it -- and I'm sure a lot of people love this -- is that you talk about sex so often and so openly. Did you plan on that before you started?
Sara: We really didn't, and we still don't have a plan. (Laughs) Our basic idea was "Let's have one comedian and a musician, if we can find one. And then have a small group of friends come and be the studio audience." That was our only idea. And it just kind of became, "Let's just talk about stuff from our lives and let the conversation go."
I think that's why it works. We just go there -- if the conversation leads that way, we go that way. And the other thing I think that makes us a little different is we have people in the room. Comedians are just sort of addicted to laughter. So if you're in the room and you have someone laughing at you, you know you're going to go toward the stuff that makes people laugh.
We do get deep sometimes, but it doesn't get as serious and interview-y, because we're in a room of people that want to laugh and be entertained. I think we try to just keep it a funny conversation that you'd have at a party with your friends.
Nikki: When the conversation is as loose as we keep it, sex is often the topic that comes up, and we just run with it. I mean, in my stand-up I'm really open about it; it's an easy thing for me to be oversharing.
That's the compliment I get most often -- "You guys are so honest." I never feel guilty or anything after a podcast, I feel better. And I like being able as an artist to give a little insight into your personal life that you don't get a lot from stand-up comics.
Sara, you usually record the podcast at your apartment. Do you think you'll have to move to a bigger room?
Sara: It was funny, because there kind of came a point when our friends were tired of coming, and we opened it up to people who are fans of the podcast locally ... which is a little nerve-wracking at first, because it's like inviting strangers over. But luckily we've found that our listeners are like us -- they're really cool and just nice people.
Nikki: I think people listen and like it because they think they could be friends with us. And I think the fans I've met we could be friends with.
Do you listen to other podcasts?
Nikki: I have been for years and years, that's why when I would go to parties I would try to start podcasts with people. Some of my favorites include Walking the Room and Never Not Funny and FitzDog Radio, Greg Fitzsimmons' podcast.
Who are some guests you'd like to have on next year?
Sara: How high are we shooting here? Louis C.K., Conan O'Brien ... (Laughs)
Nikki: Amy Schumer is someone we want to get in.
Sara: Eugene Mirman we've scheduled a couple times, and for whatever reason we've had to postpone, so he'll probably be on it.
The MTV show is a big deal. How else have your lives changed because of the podcast?
Sara: For me it's been huge, because I've always had a job that anchors me in New York, and this is the first time I've been able to reach an audience that's outside of New York in a very broad way. I get e-mails from people who are far away, and I've never had that before.
Nikki: I've been doing stand-up for a few years, and I have a handful of fans just from stuff I've done, like Last Comic Standing. And as a fan of stand-ups myself ... like, when I first discovered Sarah Silverman, I wanted to know everything about her life. I would've killed for her to have a podcast to find out the minutiae of her life. And I like being able to offer that to my fans who have been around for a few years and just wanted to get to know the real me. I feel like we both offer that.
You Had to Be There is a free podcast. New episodes appear weekly.

text: Wonderful waterside suburb of Charleston but has lots of its own charm and share of shops, events and restaurants. Can be a little more expensive than other local options but it has miles and miles of beach and pretty darn nice weather. Lots of community oriented events, many of which center on the proximity to the water. Friendly town and only 10 minutes from Charleston, so you get the best of both worlds.

Quick GuideSun-Damaged Skin: Pictures of Sun Spots, Wrinkles, Sunburns
What is sunburn?
Sunburn is an inflammation of the skin caused by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. A similar burn can follow overexposure to a "sun" (UV or tanning) lamp. UV radiation can also damage the eyes, although no surface burn is apparent.
Sunburn is a very common condition. According to the CDC, in the United States, approximately 50% of adults age 18 to 29 report having at least one sunburn in the preceding year.
Can sunburn cause permanent damage?
Yes. Sunburn early in life increases the risk of developing skin cancer later on. Repeated overexposure to ultraviolet rays can also scar, freckle, dry out, and wrinkle the skin prematurely. In addition, frequent overexposure to ultraviolet rays can increase the risk of developing eye cataracts and macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.
What is UV light and where are UV rays most intense?
UV light is radiation energy in the form of invisible light waves. UV light is emitted by the sun and by tanning lamps.
The sun discharges three types of ultraviolet radiation:
- ultraviolet A (UVA),
- ultraviolet B (UVB), and
- ultraviolet C (UVC).
Only UVA and UVB rays reach earth. (UVC does not penetrate the earth's upper atmosphere.)
Although research has long implicated UVB as the most likely form of UV radiation to damage the skin and cause skin cancer, it is now known UVA also can be dangerous. UVB is known to affect the outer layer of skin. UVA is much less intense than UVB, but it is about 50 times more likely than UVB to reach deeper layers of skin to cause sun damage.
Tanning lamps also produce UVA and/or UVB. These artificial rays affect the skin in the same way as do UVA and UVB from the sun.
When and where are UV rays most intense?
UV rays are most intense at noon and the hours immediately before and after (between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.), particularly in the late spring, summer, and early autumn. Although they are less concentrated at other times of the day and year, UV rays can still damage the skin and eyes - even in the dead of winter and on cloudy or rainy days.
UV rays also increase in intensity in relation to altitude and latitude. The higher the altitude, the greater the concentration of UV rays. Likewise, UV rays are more powerful nearer to the equator.
UV rays "bounce" off reflective surfaces - including water, sand, and snow. Thus, a skier, swimmer, fisherman, or beachcomber may be bombarded with UV rays from above and below.
Why does the skin tan after exposure to UV rays?
The skin contains a pigment called melanin. It colors the skin, imparting a wide variety of skin tones.
Melanin blocks at least some of the UV rays from penetrating the skin. After repeated or prolonged exposure to UV rays, the skin produces more melanin. Consequently, the skin darkens, or tans, which in turn protects the skin to a certain degree.

MBB Game Day Central: Coastal Carolina
Game Day Central
Liberty Game Notes
The Game
The Liberty men's basketball team returns to the Vines Center on Saturday, squaring off with defending Big South champion Coastal Carolina. Liberty leads the all-time series, 28-24, but saw a three-game winning streak against the Chanticleers snapped, last season, due to a 66-64 defeat inside The HTC Center. This season, Coastal Carolina comes into the contest sporting a 12-3 record overall and a 3-0 mark in conference action. Meanwhile, Liberty is searching for its first conference victory of the season. Tipoff for Saturday's contest is slated for 7 p.m., and broadcasts live on the Liberty Flames Sports Network, MASN HD, ESPN3 and the Big South Network.
What to Watch for
- A.C. Reid returned to the Flames lineup on Thursday, playing for 11 minutes against Asheville. Prior to his return, Reid averaged 4.6 ppg in the first 12 games. Look for Reid's role to increase as he becomes re-acclimated to on-court action.
- Liberty is looking to avoid starting 0-4 in conference play for the first time since the 2011-12 season. That year, the Flames started the Big South slate 0-6 before snapping the skid in a 69-64 victory over Radford (Jan. 12, 2011). Liberty went on to finish fifth in the conference standings with a 9-9 conference record, winning nine of its final 12 Big South matchups.
- Through Liberty's first three conference games Joe Retic is pacing Flames' offense, averaging 10.3 ppg. The junior point guard is also averaging five assists per game in Big South action. Overall, Retic is currently first in the Big South in steals (1.9 spg) and second in assists (5.7 apg).
- In three conference games, Liberty is averaging 52.7 ppg, while allowing 62.0 ppg. The Flames are also averaging 36.3 rebounds, compared to 38.3 for their opponents. Liberty is also committing an average of 14.7 turnovers per game. The Flames' opponents have commited an average of 13.0 per contest.
- In eight home contests, Liberty is averaging 69.9 ppg and allowing 57.9 ppg. The Flames are pulling down 41.2 boards per game, compared to 32.8 for their opponents. Liberty is also committing 15.0 turnovers per games, while allowing 12.4.
Notes and Anecdotes
- Prior to becoming the head coach at Coastal Carolina, Cliff Ellis coached opposite of Liberty three times in his previous two coaching stints, going 3-0 in the trio of matchups. During his tenure at Clemson, the Tigers squared off with the Flames on two occasions. In the first meeting, Clemson defeated Liberty, 96-71 (Feb. 11, 1989). The Tigers then bested Liberty during the Flames' 1992-93 season opener (Dec. 2, 1992), 93-68. During his time at Auburn, Ellis and the Tigers hosted the Flames on Dec. 8, 1995, picking up a narrow 63-58 victory.
- In Liberty junior Theo Johnson's freshman year at College of Charleston, the Cougars hosted Coastal Carolina on Dec. 22, 2012, defeating the Chanticleers, 60-51. Johnson had three points and three rebounds in eight minutes of action. Kierre Greenwood and El Hadji Ndieguene led the Chanticleers with 17 and 14 tallies, respectively.
- That same season, the Chanticleers hosted the Flames in the opening round of the 2013 Big South Tournament, which resulted in a 78-61 victory for the Flames (March 5, 2013). Liberty went on to capture the championship inside The HTC Center with an 87-76 victory versus Charleston Southern (March 10, 2013).
- Liberty has won its last two meetings with the Chanticleers in the Vines Center. Coastal Carolina's last victory in the Vines Center was on Jan. 8, 2011. The Chanticleers won the contest, 70-67.
Last Time Out vs. Coastal Carolina - 1/29/14
- Despite Liberty holding a five-point lead with 3:39 remaining, the Chanticleers hit two crucial three-pointers to help erase the deficit and received a short fade-away jumper from Warren Gillis with 1.6 seconds to put Coastal Carolina ahead. Antwan Burrus had a good look from outside the three-point arc, but the ball bounced off the left side of the rim, allowing the Chanticleers to hang on for the 66-64 decision.
- Liberty shot 44.2 percent (23-of-52) from the field in the contest, compared to 46.8 for the Chanticleers.
- Burrus paced the Flames with 15 points, followed by Andrew Smith (11), Tomasz Gielo (10) and Davon Marshall (10). Gielo also led the Flames with eight rebounds.
- Gillis finished with a game-high 18 points for the Chanticleers. Josh Cameron (13), Elijah Wilson (13) and Badou Diagne (11) rounded out Coastal Carolina's double-figure scorers.
News and Notes vs. UNC Asheville – 1/8/15
- The Liberty men's basketball team stepped into UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena looking for its first win in conference play, Thursday night. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs had other plans as David Robertson posted a game-high 20 points to lead Asheville over Liberty, 71-54.
- The Flames fall to 6-10 on the season and 0-3 in Big South action, while Asheville improves to 7-7 overall and 3-0 in conference play.
- David Andoh led the Flames' offense, tying a season-high with 14 points. Theo Johnson had 10 tallies.
- Along with Robertson, Bulldogs' leading scorer Andrew Rowsey had 13 points, while Chudier Pal chipped in 10 points and 11 rebounds.
- Asheville shot 41.0 percent (25-of-61) from the field, while holding the Flames to 35.4 percent (17-of-48). The Bulldogs capitalized on second chance points, 21-9, as well as points off turnovers, 17-4. Fourteen of Liberty's 17 miscues occurred in the first half.

Publication Acceptance Date: 12/6/2010
Publication Date: 5/23/2011
Citation: Kaspar, T.C., Singer, J.W. 2011. The use of cover crops to manage soil. In: Hatfield, J.L., Sauer, T.J., editors. Soil Management: Building a stable base for agriculture. Madison, WI: American Society of Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America. p. 321-337. Interpretive Summary: Inserting cover crops into fallow periods and spaces in cropping systems is a beneficial soil management practice. Cover crops can protect the soil from erosion, reduce losses of nitrogen (N) and phorphorus (P), increase soil carbon (C), reduce runoff, inhibit pests, and support beneficial soil fauna. Although cover crops have the potential to maintain and enhance soil productivity and to reduce offsite impacts of N, P, sediment, and greenhouse gases, they are not widely used in most agricultural systems. Incorporating cover crops into cropping systems requires time, money, inputs, machinery, labor, and modifications of current practices without immediate financial return to the farmer. Improvements in soil productivity resulting from cover crops may require many years before benefits are detectable. Additionally, availability of cover crop management information, cover crop seed, and custom planting and spraying services need to be improved to facilitate adoption of cover crops in grain, oilseed, and fiber cropping systems. However, if farmers are given financial and productivity incentives to grow cover crops, farmers, crop consultants, and scientists should be able to overcome these management, supply, and service problems relatively quickly. Therefore, scientists need to demonstrate to farmers with long-term integrated studies that maintaining or enhancing soil productivity with cover crops provides long-term financial benefits. Additionally, scientists need to demonstrate to non-farmers that providing incentives for widespread adoption of cover crops could provide valuable ecosystem services and improvement of water quality, while still maintaining current levels of food, biomass, and fiber production. The impact of this literature review is to provide literature-based information to agricultural professionals about the beneficial soil management roles of cover crops.
Technical Abstract: Cover crops are used to manage soils for many different reasons. Inserting cover crops into fallow periods and spaces in cropping systems is a beneficial soil management practice. Natural ecosystems typically have some plants growing, covering the soil, transpiring water, taking up nutrients, fixing carbon, and supporting soil fauna for most of the time that the ground is not frozen. Agricultural cropping systems producing grain, oilseed, and fiber crops in temperate regions typically only have living plants for four to six months of the year and are fallow for the remaining six to eight months. Current planting and tilling practices often leave soil bare and exposed during fall, winter, and early spring. Some perennial cropping systems for nut or fruit crops keep the spaces between rows fallow and tilled for extended periods. As a result of these fallow periods and spaces in annual and perennial cropping systems, soil is left unprotected from erosive forces, nutrients and organic matter are lost or not replenished, runoff increases, soil fauna are stressed, and soil productivity diminishes. Thus, inserting cover crops into fallow periods or spaces in cropping systems can accomplish multiple soil management goals. This discussion is not intended to be a comprehensive review and will focus on the general principles and evidence for using cover crops to manage soil erosion, runoff, soil nutrients, soil water, soil organic matter, soil physical properties, soil chemical properties, and soil biology.

Help Extending Hoses, etc. for Washer/Dryer
I need to move my washer and dryer about 12 feet total. 6 feet down, then right angle another six feet.
Right now they have the standard hoses and plugs.
Both washer and dryer have the steam feature, so they both need hot water.
Is there a maximum length, or potential problem with just buying longer hoses, pigtails and vents?
I would like all the pro's and con's.
Where would be a good place to find these hoses and pigtails?
Re-plumbing would be too expensive.
For a hose that long you would need to go to a garden center. You need to move the water supply lines to do this right.
It's hard to say anything about the vent without seeing it but their is a maximum distance you can run a vent and you can only have so many bends in it.
Cons: hoses all over your walls.Vent hose to long for your dryer/over working your brand new appliance,voiding your warranty.220V pig tail exposed on your wall.
Pro`s: Hire one or maybe two.1:Plummer 2:Electrician

Angels seek big bat at Meetings
Angels still seek big bat at Winter Meetings
Held in Orlando this year, the Angels, like the other 29 Major League Baseball teams and nearly the entire industry, will spend four days trying to figure out a way to make their team better. The plus side is that everybody -- agents, general managers, managers and their respective supporting casts -- is there. The downside is, everybody is there.
If there is a prospective deal, it is likely to become a rumor first, and many rumors remain just that.
Like last year's meetings in Dallas, the Angels will enter these with a power bat still on their wish list. Next week begins, though, with some movement on the roster.
Three positions were identified this offseason for upgrades: first base, third base and center field, preferably with some punch attached. The Angels landed Gary Matthews Jr. to take over in center field, but he is slated more to the top of the batting order than the middle.
By investing $50 million over five years, the Angels have added a defensive whiz in center that brings speed and some power. But he's also 32 years old.
The move, which at first glance would seem to make Chone Figgins expendable, could instead adjust the super-utility player to ninth in the batting order, where he spent the last month of 2006, and back to third, a position at which he played 148 games from 2004-05.
But third base is by no means settled.
The Angels have long been rumored in a swap with the White Sox that would bring Joe Crede to Anaheim to play on the corner in exchange for Figgins, who has the admiration and respect of Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen.
The latest reports have Figgins included with right-hander Ervin Santana for Crede and White Sox right-hander Freddy Garcia. But general manager Bill Stoneman is quick to point out that he has no great desire to move Santana, despite the 23-year-old being linked to just about every Angels trade rumor.
"We are a pitching-based club. That is our philosophy, and you have to pitch to win in this business," Stoneman said. "Losing [Scot Shields and Santana] would be a tough thing to do."
Pitching depth has been the strength of the Angels over the last few years and is again this winter, which will allow them to be judicious about any prospective deal but also could provide them with the opportunity to take a chance.
Bartolo Colon is rehabbing a partial tear in his right rotator cuff and the club is cautiously optimistic he will return. The 2005 Cy Young winner would head a rotation that includes John Lackey, Kelvim Escobar, Jered Weaver and either the left-handed Joe Saunders or Santana.
The Angels prefer to be eight deep at starting pitcher but it would be a blow to Saunders, who went 7-3 in 13 starts with the big club, to head back to the Minors to stay fresh as a reserve option. Colon's health is the wild card, but something is likely to give.
Starting pitchers remaining on the free-agent market include left-handers Barry Zito and Mark Mulder and right-handers Jason Schmidt and Greg Maddux. The Angels could become buyers for a starter if they move some of their young arms for offense.
The Angels also signed Justin Speier to an $18 million, four-year deal. The right-hander is expected to share setup duties with Shields as the two relievers shorten games to six innings with Francisco Rodriguez again pitching the ninth in the closer role.
With Speier in the bullpen, speculation has heated up that Shields will be dealt. His name has surfaced in a number of trade rumors, but the Angels are heading into the Winter Meetings with intentions of hanging on to their surplus of pitching.
"We're still going to be active," Stoneman said. "We're having conversations with other clubs,"
One last rumor that lingers from last year's meetings is the availability of Manny Ramirez. The Red Sox and Angels had discussions on the possibility of dealing the enigmatic outfielder in Dallas last December, and Boston again is eager to move Ramirez off its payroll. The Angels have moved from favorite to long shot in that race, and Stoneman would only admit he's willing to listen.
"We will keep looking if there are players that interest us," Stoneman said.
The Angels have also said that they're not likely to make a blockbuster deal, though, which could make their shopping mostly of the window variety in Orlando.

The wonderfully named (and cute) 'Ebony-Jewel Cora-Lee Camellia Rosamond Rainford-Brent', a fast bowler and England's first black player, has said the girls should be 'sexier' to sell their sport, on and off the field. In the early days of women's international cricket the England girls would wear the guy's kit and it would be baggy and less than flattering. Now the kit is more 'tailored' for the girls and there are calls by the players themselves for it to be tighter still. The women play in front of empty stadiums and even when they shared the sold out World Twenty20 Finals day last week as the warm up act for hosts Sri Lanka versus the West Indies, few fans turned up early to watch them. It's the same with most women's sport when it's the only gig on the card. The fact is there is little interest in women's sport outside of America, especially cricket, and that success only flourishing because of their expansive, well funded and democratic American college system that sees all sports get similar budgets.
Women's sport that is successful on the world stage tends to share the stage with men's sport, like athletics and tennis. Would Wimbledon without men be the sell out it is? In Italy they split women and men for their big tennis championship and the women's event is 'quiet'. The female and corporate spectators prefer men's tennis, simple as. If women don't support women's sport by attending it has no chance. Right now they don't. Yes women's football London got 70,000 at the Olympics but the crowd was there more for the Olympics than the gender. Women's sport can not stand alone and they certainly don't attract the sponsors and money.
The West Indies, the Men's Twenty20 winners, got $500,000 last week for winning; the victorious Australian women got $55,000. The women's expenses for the tournament were considerably lower too. But the reality is they don't generate any revenue for the tournament. The women who generate money in sport are the ones with long legs and blue eyes. Sex sells not female sporting ability so much. Maria Sharapova is still female sports top earner alongside Serena Williams. Her legs are still long and supple and her eyes still sharp and beautiful. A pretty player ranked 35 will earn more than the current world no five from sponsors and appearances. When Maria bends over to receive serve, men are not thinking about her coming forehand winner. There are lot better players out there but they are not as sexy as she is. She hoovers up the sponsors cash along with five or six other cute players.
Coming back to women's cricket and you have to say it's nowhere near as enjoyable as men's cricket. In fact if men's cricket wasn't such a strong product the girl's team wouldn't exist. England are only the best as they are semi-professional and the best funded by far, the conduit for paying them to play via coaching contracts to teach kids and adults around the country. It did them good to lose last week to Australia in the final. Women's top level international football is ok and I like the way it's not cynical and played in an open style but women's Twenty20 is not great, purely because the girls don't have the strength to clear the ropes, the point of Twenty20. Like the goalies in female soccer the fielding is poor in women's cricket and responsible for quite a few fours. The weak hitting and long boundaries strangle any entertainment. You are lucky to get a six in their matches. If they did stack on the muscles to do that, the sport would ironically lose any appeal it has built up. Who wants to see Eleven Maria Matola's out there smashing sixes into the stands? You guys all know who won the Olympics women's heptathlon but not the individual hammer. Jessica Ennis is gorgeous. All power and girth Tatiana Lysenko isn't so cute. Most men are only interested in cute women in sport if the truth be told. Plenty of female Twenty20 cricket stars are pretty and curvy and so expect to see more of them now if their sport is to move forward, hockey style kit inevitable. Hockey girls look fabulous!
Another issue for women's sport like cricket is participation, too many young girls not too keen on having athletic bodies as its no that feminine. Women's cricket just ten years ago was mostly tomboys and Brighton College alumni. Ennis looks incredible, as do most of the girls on the track, but women's lifestyle magazines that seem to shape young women's lives these days don't want to promote that athletic image as it doesn't sell their magazines, Kate Moss over Charlotte Edwards (England's cricket captain) every time, smoking and looking pretty to get the boys an easier life. One German magazine chose to go six months without using skinny professional models and concentrate on 'real' women 'in their publications. But high street sales fell 30% because women want to be inspired by those images to achieve the impossible and so don't really want to see themselves with staples in their exposed bellies. Men watch men's sport because they want to be them whereas women watch men's sport because they want to...well, you know the answer to that. That is why women just don't connect to women's sport.
Even though England didn't win the Twenty20 to hold the Hatrick of best Test and 50 over team they had won 22 straight Twenty20 matches leading up to the World20 last week. On their game they are unbeatable and it's only a freak individual knock by the other team that beats them. Twenty20 games are often won by the big over between equal teams but only Australia can live with England now, Aussie Jess Cameron delivering with a rapid and streaky 45 to be the difference. If the other nations don't find some money for their female teams soon there will be no women's international cricket to speak of. And all those women who speak in defence of women's cricket need to start attending those matches as you are lucky to get 300 in for an England women's match in Britain...

The retired military physician who last year helped expose China's initial cover-up of the SARS outbreak is now calling on the Communist Party to confront one of its darkest periods and acknowledge that it was gravely wrong in violently cracking down on the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests in 1989.
''My proposal is that the June 4 student movement of 1989 should be reappraised as a patriotic movement,'' Dr. Jiang Yanyong wrote in a letter dated Feb. 24. He later added: ''Errors committed by our party should be resolved by the party. The sooner this is done, the better.''
Dr. Jiang's letter comes three months before the 15th anniversary of the crackdown on June 4, 1989, when government troops crushed what had been peaceful student-led protests. At least hundreds of people were killed and thousands wounded.
The massacre remains one of the most delicate issues in China. Party leaders labeled the protests a ''counterrevolutionary rebellion'' and have justified the use of military force as necessary to maintain stability. But this official version of history infuriates many Chinese, even if few dare speak about it publicly.Continue reading the main story
''The vast majority of people I know in every quarter of society are all clear in their hearts that the June 4 crackdown was absolutely wrong,'' Dr. Jiang wrote. ''But because of the pressure from above, they haven't dared to speak their mind.''
His letter is addressed to the National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Communist Party-controlled legislative and advisory bodies which opened their annual sessions last week.
Last April, Dr. Jiang became a national folk hero when he disclosed that health officials were lying about the number of people hospitalized in Beijing with severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. At the time, officials said Beijing had about a dozen cases. Dr. Jiang said military hospitals alone had more than 100.
His disclosure led to the firings of China's health minister and Beijing's mayor. Top leaders, including President Hu Jintao, demanded that officials truthfully report SARS cases.
In a telephone interview, Dr. Jiang declined comment on his appeal. But he confirmed that he had written the letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The New York Times.
In it, Dr. Jiang described the students as patriots who were protesting against official corruption, and he blamed ''a small minority of leaders who wanted to protect corruption'' for ordering the crackdown. He also recalled working as a surgeon on the night of the massacre and watching in horror as 89 patients with bullet wounds were brought into the emergency ward in a two-hour period.
He quoted former President Yang Shangkun, who died in 1998, as saying the massacre should be re-examined, a step the doctor would like to see now. ''I'm convinced that a correct evaluation of June 4 is everybody's desire and will certainly not create emotional turmoil,'' he wrote. ''The policy of placing stability above all else can only create greater instability.''Continue reading the main story

Evan Ross and Ashlee Simpson are engaged, they both announced via Twitter on Monday. Ross, who called Simpson "the one" in an interview this past November, popped the question while the couple vacationed in Hawaii.
"My baby love and I are ENGAGED!!!" Simpson tweeted, along with a photo of herself posing with Ross and her new engagement ring. "Hallelujah Hawaii !!!!!" Ross, meanwhile, shared his excitment on his own Twitter account, tweeting, "The love of my life said YES!!!!!!"
This will be the second marriage for Simpson, who has a son Bronx Mowgli with ex-husband Pete Wentz, and the first for Diana Ross' son, who was previously linked with Rita Ora.

A Little Rehearsal
Do you use MS PowerPoint presentations that are set to advance automatically?
Ever find yourself frustrated as you try to guess just how many seconds to display each slide? I mean, if you are sitting there looking at this…
…and wondering how many seconds to enter into the field (found with Slide Transition information), then maybe, you simply need to consider rehearsing.
PowerPoint has a feature that will let you set the timings for slide advancement while actually going through the slideshow. I've found that I really love this method for initial time settings and that I have to make very few changes from there.
So, if you're interested in this alternative method, read on!
To do a presentation rehearsal and set slide advancement timings, we need to go to the Slide Show menu, Rehearse Timings choice.
Your slide show will begin with this toolbar visible:
In the center, you'll see the clock counting the current time for the displayed slide. When you click to advance the slide, the time will be recorded and start over for the next slide.
It continues on this way until you either give up with the Esc key or finish setting the timing for each slide in the show.
Need to "tweak" the timings some more?
You can either work on each one manually or run the rehearsal again, with one benefit. If you've got a slide with a good timing, you can press the O key to skip that slide without changing its timing.
That's it. Go through and truly rehearse your presentation with this feature running and the timing will take care of itself!

You want pink shirts and hoodies printed with unicorns and cupcakes. Shirt.Woot to the rescue.

Last Will and Testament of an Extremely Distinguished Cat
I have little in the way of material things to leave, only my love and magic which I leave to all who have loved me.
To my Friend, I know will mourn the most...to my companions...I ask them to remember me always but not to grieve for me too long. Let them remember that no
cat was ever happier but I have grown ill and pained. It is time to say "Good-Bye." I accept this part of the journey as a natural part of life.
What will come to me after death? I would like to think that I will be joined by companions I've known in life. I will romp in ice-filled fields and every hour will be mealtime. I will spend long evenings in front of fireplaces with logs forever burning and curl up with memories of the love of my special person.
One last request I make. I ask my friend, for the love of me, to have another. No cat can be as distinguished and handsome as I was, but my friend must not ask the impossible.
To that new cat, I've left my handmade Afghan throw and "stairway to the stars" climbing post. I leave him my place on the window perch which I loved so much, and wish him a long, sunny afternoon of snoozing and bird watching.
A few last words, Dear Heart. I have loved you completely and no matter how deep I sleep I shall hear you. Remember that Angels are not allowed to show their wings on earth, though there's no rule against whiskers!
by Barbara Meyers
It`s your 3rd birthday at the Bridge.You would have been 11 yrs old. I miss you so much and still cry when I think about you. It`s been almost 3 yrs since you left but still feels like yesterday. I know you are healthy and pain free now and will wait for me to join you forever.
Your fur brothers and sisters all wish you a happy birthday. I hope you are having fun and enjoying your Birthday with Duchess and your little brother Bounce and all your Angel friends.
I miss you my seet angel,
Love Mommy
The Greatest Gift
Karla M. Bertram, 11/23/96
I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then and I keep that promise now . . .
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal; You will not know
the loss of a life remembered, now gone.
It is for me alone to make this decision, The price for the bright
joy and pure laughter You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fears ride high, Just when I need you most,
I must let you go.
It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready.
For without your guidance, I will not know When to lay my grief, my
guilt, my anger, My sorrow and my selfish heart aside And give you
this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.
The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow, And my heart drowns
in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken, and I have listened, And unlike other decisions
I have made.
This one brings no relief . . . no comfort . . . no peace.
For if there's one thing you've taught me, If there's only one thing
I've learned. . . .
Unconditional love has a condition after all, I must be willing to
let you go, when you speak to me I must be willing to help you go, if
you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.
Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
You are free to leave me know, free to let your spirit soar Rest easy
now, your pain will soon be gone.
I pray I will find comfort in my memories . . .
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this: as long as I live, You will live, alive in
my mind, forever in my heart.
So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give, And this will
be my greatest gift . . . sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love . . .
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again, Loving you has been
the greatest gift of all."

Good News!
The Ambassador Choir will be performing "Good News!", a worship concert celebrating the Good News of Jesus Christ, locally.
- Portland First Baptist Church (SW 12th & Taylor)
- Friday, April 20th
- Price: Free
This is our final concert of the Spring 2012 season and we would like to share in a special evening of music and worship with our hometown. The concert is free to all.
Desperate People Need Good News
We all need good news. Before emancipation, African Americans, toiling and crushed under the system of slavery, needed good news. They sang about it as they worked. Like many of those old spirituals, this one offered hope in a hopeless existence:
I got a crown up in-a the Kingdom, ain'-a that good news!
I got a crown up in-a the Kingdom, ain'-a that good news!
I'm a-goin' to lay down this world, goin'-a shoulder up-uh my cross,
Goin'-a take it home-a to my Jesus, ain'-a that good news!
The days of plantation slavery may be over, but there are still millions of people all over the planet living under a sentence of death and enslaved to the cruelest taskmaster of all – their own sin. They need deliverance! They need the Good News of salvation offered freely by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Through the medium of music and testimony the Ambassador Choir of Multnomah University unashamedly proclaims this "gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes".
Dr. Stanford Campbell
The Ambassador Choir Director

What happens if I withdraw from some or all of my classes?
If your invoice is paid using financial aid, and it is necessary to officially withdraw from all classes, please see the "Refund/Repayment Policy" below.
If you withdraw from some but not all of your courses, your aid could be affected as follows:
Academic Considerations
The first and most important thing to consider before dropping classes is how it will affect you academically. You should meet with your advisor to consider all implications of dropping a course.
Financial Implications (Student Accounts)
If you are receiving financial aid, you will be reviewed for Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). If you drop below half time, you can no longer work as a Federal Work-Study student. In addition, you may be subject to the Refund/Repayment Policy.
Scholarship Concerns
Scholarships have credit hour requirements. If you drop below the required hours, the refund is repaid to the scholarship.
Federal Pell Grant
The Pell Grant will be adjusted for any change in enrollment that occurs on or prior to the 15th day of the semester. Pell will also be adjusted for any class withdrawn from that has not yet begun. Withdrawing from a class in the fall may keep you from academically progressing, which could make you ineligible for a Pell Grant in the spring.
Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG)
OCOG will be adjusted for any change in enrollment that occurs on or prior to the 15th day of the semester. If credit hours are reduced after the 15th, day and the university is in a refund period, the grant will be pro-rated.
Additional Loan Concerns
Dropping classes may have an impact on your student loans! Student loans, including Federal Perkins Loan, Nursing Student Loan, Federal Direct Subsidized Loan and Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, will stay in deferment status as long you continue to attend school at least half time. If you drop below half-time for longer than six months (Federal Direct) or nine months (Perkins and/or Nursing), the repayment period will start. In addition, student loans currently being disbursed may be cancelled and returned to the lender if you drop below half time. For example, if your loan is for two semesters, the second semester portion may be cancelled, reduced or returned. (Half-time enrollment is six credits for undergraduate students and five credits for graduate/professional students.)
Return of Federal Aid Policy
This refund policy is used to determine the amount of federal student aid that must be returned (refunded) to the appropriate aid programs and should not be confused with the published University refund policy.
When a student withdraws from all classes prior to completing 60 percent of the period/semester for which federal aid was provided, the following refund policy will apply.
A student earns their federal aid on a pro-rated basis, and is not considered to have earned 100% until they attend past the 60% point of the period/semester.
The refund/repayment policy is a pro-ration of earned versus unearned financial aid. The earned financial aid percentage is determined by dividing the days attended in the period by the total days in the period (i.e., student withdraws on the 5th day of the semester which has 110 days in its period, 5/110 = 5 percent earned). Subtracting earned aid from aid what was awarded and disbursed gives you the amount of unearned aid that must be returned. The responsibility to repay unearned aid is shared by the institution and the student in proportion to the aid each is assumed to possess. The student may be billed from The University of Akron for any account balance created when the college is required to return funds. The balance due would be the result of tuition charges that are no longer being covered by the unearned aid or unearned aid that the student received in an excess aid check.
Under the refund/repayment policy, the programs are reimbursed in the following order:
- Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan
- Federal Direct Subsidized Loan
- Federal Perkins Loan
- PLUS Loan
- Grad PLUS Loan
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
- TEACH Grant
State aid will be refunded based on the published University refund policy.
Withdrawal dates are determined in one of the following ways, depending on the situation:
- The date the withdrawal form is processed by the Office of the Registrar.
- The date the student is officially dismissed from the College.
- The last date of documented academic attendance.
- In case of unofficial withdrawals or persons receiving all "non-passing" grades, it is the mid-point of the period of enrollment or last date of documented academic attendance.
Once the student has attended past 60 percent of the period/semester, all financial assistance is considered earned, although successful completion of coursework is required to maintain satisfactory academic progress.
See the Financial Aid Calendar for the 60 percent dates for each semester.

Limited Edition BMW 760Li: V-12 25 Years Anniversary - Only 15 Available
5 Attachment(s)
BMW launches a very special limited edition 25th Anniversary Edition 760Li V-12 reflecting a rich tradition of V-12 engines that began back in 1987 with the then groundbreaking BMW 750iL when BMW engineers crafted the most Ultimate Driving Machine of its day with the introduction of its first automotive V-12 engine. Only 15 of these very limited edition models will be available to US customers on a special order basis only for BMW Center delivery in early 2013 at a price of $159,695 including destination and handling.
The "V-12 25 Years Edition" BMW 760Li features BMW Individual Champagne Full Merino Leather and, exclusively for this model, black piping. The black floor mats and rear footrests are also complimented by contrasting piping in Champagne. The door sills, headrests and iDrive controllers are all specially badged with "V-12 25 Years Edition". Also included with this special edition flagship model are:
A full range of exterior colors is available for this limited edition as well as additional options, making it possible to craft a truly unique automobile.
The 760Li, with its 6.0-liter Twin Turbo V12, remains the pinnacle in the BMW 7 Series line up boasting 535 horsepower, 550 lb. ft of torque catapulting the big Sports Sedan from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 130 mph (155 mph with the M Sport Package option).
I love the F-01/02, but not this one. All that V-12 stenciling...and what's with the head-rests??? For a "limited edition", I would expect changes/modifications to the exterior. This announcement looks like something that would appear in the Neiman Marcus Christmas "wish book". Pass...
You can control the power output with the rear I-drive controller. So if your driver is a little pedestrian, you just twist the knob to give it a bit more oomph :).
I thought all the limited edition coming to US is Citrin Black with Individual wheels.
The white 7 picture is wrong.
BMW Celebrates 25 Years of V12s with a Special Edition 760Li Priced at $159,695
In 1987, BMW took a big step towards being a real premium carmaker with the launch of its first ever V12-powered automobile, the 750iL E32, which was followed shortly after by the 850i that offered the first V12 engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox on a road car.
The 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V12 unit generated 295hp (300PS) at 5,200 rpm and a peak torque of 450Nm (330 lb·ft) at 4,100 rpm. Ever since, BMW has offered a V12 engine option on its flagship sedan series.
The Bavarian carmaker is now paying homage to the V12's 25th anniversary with the launch of a limited production version of the current 2013MY 760iL named "V-12 25 Years Edition".
According to BMW, only 15 of these limited edition models will be offered to US customers on a special order basis only, for delivery in early 2013 at a price of $159,695 including destination and handling.
On the outside, all 15 cars are painted in the BMW Individual exterior finish of Citrine Black metallic and ride on bespoke, 20-inch BMW Individual light-alloy wheels.
Inside, the 25th Anniversary edition is fully trimmed in fine-grained Merino leather upholstery with black piping that's exclusive to this model. Furthermore, the black floor mats and rear footrests are complimented by contrasting piping in Champagne, while the door sills, headrests and iDrive controllers are all specially badged with "V-12 25 Years Edition".
Other features include a rear seat entertainment with iDrive control, Alcantara headliner in champagne color, A/B/C pillars in black leather, BMW Individual Piano Black Wood trim for the dashboard, doors and steering wheel, a rear parcel shelf in Anthracite Alcantara and Shadowline exterior trim.
The 760iL "V-12 25 Years Edition" is powered by the same 6.0-liter Twin Turbo V12 found on the regular model. It boasts an output of 535 horsepower and peak torque of 550 lb-ft that good enough for a 0-60 mph (96km/h) in 4.5 seconds and a limited top speed of 130 mph (209km/h), which can be increased to 155 mph (250km/h) with the M Sport Package option.
Too bad they don't bring this interior to the U.S.: http://www.carnewschina.com/2011/11/...hou-auto-show/
I'm at the dealership in Ocala FL, and they have one on the showroom floor. I have to say the new facelifted 760's look amazing. Everything about this car is amazing and the 25th Aniversary is even crazier. The sales guy was telling me that they embed a piano string in the wood (saw this and it looks amazing, but I still prefer the Alpina B7 Piano Wood with Pearl).
Here's the MSRP sticker if you guys were wondering what the config on the one I saw was. So we've spotted 1, 14 to go :thumbup:
Can you please post pictures of the car itself!? Please!! Thanks!! :)
18.6k option jeez! That's the second most expensive option after the Steinway Limited edition - was what 50k option?
At least they made it an individual edition, although they should have made truly bespoke wheels not available - not even on a normal individual edition.
They have one on the showroom floor in Minnetonka, MN. Sticker at about 170k IIRC.
didn't like the headrest stitches either.
The picture looks like a base model 750 (exterior)
~ Big Marcus
pffffttt! They can do better on their flagship model. Just not enough thought and creativity there.

JEREMY HOBSON: In Missouri the Army Corps of Engineers has blown a hole in a Mississippi River levee. The corps did that late last night to prevent rising floodwaters from inundating cities like Cairo, Illinois. But the move means huge swaths of prime farmland will be destroyed.
Hubert Delay is the county clerk in Mo. and he joins us now. Good morning sir.
HUBERT DELAY: Good morning.
HOBSON: Well, tell us about this blast that happened last night.
DELAY: We weren't expecting the explosion to be so large. In fact just a few minutes after the explosion took place, our house started shaking, our windows started rattling. It felt like a 7.5 magnitude earthquake. It was tremendous.
HOBSON: And is there water pouring in now from that exploded levee?
DELAY: Yes, the Ohio River has dropped about 1 foot.
HOBSON: What are the economic consequences for the farmers who live there?
DELAY: Well, the economic consequences will be dire for the farmers and not only for the farmers, for our entire county. Not only will the farmers lose their crops and all that are already in there and probably won't be able to put a crop in, but that's going to have a ripple effect on the rest of our county. Agriculture's the life blood of our local economy here.
HOBSON: The Army Corps is doing this, it says because it wants to prevent worse problems. Do you think that they're making the right decision here?
DELAY: Well, that remains to be seen. Of course the Corps maintains that this is a flood of historic proportions and they insure us that the system had to be operated the way it was in order to relieve pressure both up river and down river.
HOBSON: Hubert Delay is the county clerk in Mississippi County, Mo. which is dealing with the effects of an explosion of the levee there. Mr. Delay, thank you so much for talking with us and good luck.
DELAY: You're most welcome, thank you very much.
