we stood along the stairs leading from the highway down to the riverwalk. Just beyond where we stood was the Pepsi Center where the Denver Nuggets play basketball. Further along the riverwalk was a huge REI store. All around us was life, and it was wizzing along blurringly fast. But my new friend Benny searched under a pine tree, looking at some tarp, and cardboard and a wet blanket. Benny spoke of a friend who lived in this "squat" frequently; Trent. Benny spoke of the hard life that Trent had lived. He said Trent grew up in the church, the son of a minister...yet, his path had placed him under this tree among the tanbark, under the highway just a few hundred feet from the home of the Denver Nuggets, and he was dying!
As Benny told us this story, sorrow began to wash over me. Uncontrollable, overwhelming emotion from deep in my past. I had to walk away from the group; this was about Trent,about the work Benny did, and about preparing our group of students for the mission we were on. This was not about me. But it seemed that God had another idea.
For a moment, God spoke directly to me reminding me of the journey I have been on the last 20 years. I felt a rang of emotion as Benny spoke of Trent. One of the most surprising was guilt. I felt somewhat guilty that I have been redeemed, restored, and renewed while Trent was not. I also felt remorse for all who I had led into a life of drug or alcohol abuse. I always spoke freely to people about how great some smoke I had was...yet how reluctant I seemed to be about saying JESUS was amazing.
Benny was telling us how one person heard Trent's last desperate cry from help on that day as he lay dying. How that one person called 911 and Trent spent almost a year in the hospital recovering from an infection from dirty needles, and an overdose. Benny had to stop as he spoke of Trent. Benny was heartbroken, because he knew that there was life, not in the freedom of the streets, and the dulled, fuzzy, reality of the altered, drug induced euphoria. Benny wept. And I wept.
I wept because I have friends and family members who are struggling. Not just with addiction, but with living. Having to get up day after day in a rut of hurt and sorrow. A life that was NOT what they had planned. I wept because even after God has called me out of a harrsh desolate place into the lush goodness of grace, I turn. I turn my eyes to the shiny "new" image; I turn my nose away from the fragrance of his love, and I turn my heart towards things that are just not HIM. I wept because HE was calling out to me like a lover who had wandered away.
So, what would it take for you? For you to put down the good things in life that are taking your attention from the ONE who really cares about you today, tomorrow, forever? What is it that God is calling you from?
simply HIS,

berkey water filter problems
Ive got a royal berkey with the black filters (two) i took it apart to clean & store it, when i removed the filters the base fell off of both of them, looks like they are glued on, anyone else haveing this problem? thanks riper1

This topic has been discussed at length. You may want to search the forum for your answer.
Am I glad to see your post! I was just getting ready to start a thread detailing my own Berkey problems. Here's my brief story:
1. Bought a Big Berkey last year with the "Black Berkeys".
2. 3-4 months later, one of the Black Berkeys came apart, just like yours. I didn't know about the warranty, so I trashed it and started purchasing a "stockpile" thinking the defective Berkey was just a fluke.
3. 1 month later, I noticed water was filtering a lot faster than usual. I checked the filters by re-priming them and noticed one of the Black Berkeys hissing and blowing bubbles from under the cap. I called a representative and it was replaced.
4. 2 days after I received the "free replacement", it started filtering water faster than usual. I checked it under the faucet, like the other, and the same deal. I grabbed one of my "stockpiled" filters to fill in and the damn thing fell apart when I was trying to prime it (I know how to prime these by-the-way).
5. I called and got my replacements with no questions asked. The guy didn't even sound alarmed that the filters were falling apart, like my story wasn't anything new.
6. After a month, I found that both of my filters were dripping water faster than usual - I went too long between checking them. I knew what the problem was, but I had to see the leaks for myself. After I gave them both the priming test I was incredibly furious. I emailed a detailed expression of my frustration to customer service and haven't heard from them yet. That was a few days ago...
I know that there are a lot of Berkey supporters on this forum who are going to say, "But, I've never had a problem"? To that, I say go check your filters. I know for a fact that there a lot of people who are drinking unfiltered water from their defective Black Berkeys and don't even know it.

that sucks, thanks for your imput I hope they continue to help, I have talked to them a couple of times (my spigot has broken twice) but this is different ive had good luck with it for 6 months, I wonder how many people have had this same problem, this topic has probably been rehashed here before? sorry if it has im new to this site
|The Following User Says Thank You to riper1 For This Useful Post:
Mine for 2 years, not one problem. I have 4 filters in mine and have primed them and cleaned them without issues. I wonder if you were over tightening them.
|The Following User Says Thank You to robertparker For This Useful Post:
The filter problem has been covered very well. They will replace any defective filters if you contact them.
My problem is I don't trust my filter any more. If I need to purify tainted water, I can't take the chance that it is letting impurities pass. I don't plan to use it any longer unless I hear of a fix in the filter system.
Guess I'm going shopping for a new filter system. Or maybe I can find another brand filter that will fit. I can't tell you how disappointed I am in my careful purchase. I hope the fix it soon, I won't be recommending the berkey any more unless it is.
I've got the same problem now, 2 month old Burkey light. With the one filter left it's starting to come apart & now when I filter tap water it comes out with a bad oder & taste. The water was better before filtering. This really sucks.

One of ours starting leaking, wife glued the cap back on with aquarium grade silicon.
|The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to JohnP For This Useful Post:
It's very hard to notice when the Black Berkeys start to fail. The fastest way to check is to fill the top chamber with a good amount of water (water pressure) and lift it off of the bottom chamber. If you are not keen on what the drip rate is supposed to look like, it will be difficult to know if your filter(s) are compromised. It seems with a correctly primed filter, 1-2 drips a second is normal. Any faster than that and it's a good idea to check with a priming test. When priming, put you ear next to the cap/element seal and listen for a hissing noise on all sides - it won't be very loud and most of the time, water will noticeably trickle out from under the cap. I really hope people take a closer look at their filters because the quality control is evidently crap.
Turns out a bad batch went through production, I've got 2 on the way for replacements. I saw this on the site I ordered from
We'll see. I hope it fixes the problem.

Thanks for this. This is very troubling. I have been considering being a distributor of the Berkey, but I'm very discouraged. It's got such a great reputation, but apparently the quality has suffered recently.
I posted my recent experience trying to find out about where the cannisters are made. I find it difficult to believe that a distributor of the berkey filters in Colorado isn't aware of where the housings are made. But I was told just that when I called and asked. I was referred to New Millenium Concepts and my question was evaded. I am still waiting for an answer from them. But in the meantime I got my answer on another thread. The housings are made in India.
I would love to know what changes have been recently made at the factory where the Black Berkey's are made that might explain the rash of defective products being sold.
I was told that the filter cartridges are made in USA. I hope that is the truth.

What is up with Berkey?
I found this very interesting comment on amazon.com. I am getting very suspicious of some possibly deceptive advertising of the Berkey filters:
"That's What She Said says:
not to be a buzz kill, but I spend DAYS researching these berkey filters. I even tracked down a gentleman who claimed to be one of the heads of the Toxicology Department, Dr. Portier, at LSU. He said that LSU did infact do ONE water sample on the Black Berkey over 10 YEARS ago and that neither he or LSU endorses their product. He also said that while the test did take place, that not Himself or LSU authorized a document to be placed on the internet. He said the reason that he was so quick to call me back is because he has had nearly 20 different inquires in the past 10 years asking about this "so called" lab analysis document that Berkey puts on their website. He also went on to say, that SOMEONE had to of manufactured the "LSU document" because he did not provide ANYONE with that document. So, even if LSU did do a sample, and if everything went alright, then why did New Millennium Concepts have to manufacture a LSU lab analysis report?Then I got to thinking, if New Millennium Concept (the company the main distributor for Black Berkey filters) is soooooooooooo confident in their product, then
Why don't they have any Quality Assurance procedures put into place?
Why don't they have their filters annually tested?
Why don't they get an NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) certification.
Why don't they have a Micron Rating for their filter?
Lets be fair here, if you are skeptical about Truesdale lab not getting their filters checked out in 15 years.... is there really a difference in the 10 Years that Berkey Filters have waited?
Bottom line is that the Berkey filters make some pretty awesome claims, but do very little to PROVE this to their consumers. As for Spectrum labs and the University of Arizona... I have yet to hear back from them.
This review is not meant to be negative in any way, it is solely to spread information and get to the bottom of this. When I called New Millennium Concepts, Valerie answered the phone was was extremely pleasant with me. She spent 30 minutes explaining to me how long they have been in business and that the filters were made in the USA and that they were quality and have had ZERO issues with them. Again, that is all fine and well, but where is the proof? You can't simply say that no one has gotten sick so that is why we know our filters work... I mean I have been drinking tap water for 30 years now and I am not SICK. That being said, everyone knows how BAD tap water is for you over a cumulative time!"
What this person has said on amazon is a complete fabrication of the truth. The person who wrote the review on amazon, I have personally emailed and discussed this with them. They know the truth, and it is sad to see that it is still being posted by users here. The LSU tests (and all the tests) were done by a professional and are completely legitimate independent tests.

Why did you now answer a single concern that Highwater Filters posted ?
The Bucket Berkey isnt bad either...
Regarding the Black Berkey Elements and the concern about them working properly as designed, there is a simple diagnostic that can be run. This diagnostic will help determine that the Black Berkeys are working properly:
The Black Elements (which come in sets of two) are rated at 6,000 gallons of tap water per set. That is 3,000 gallons of tap water per Black Element. Tap water is the standard because water sources vary greatly in contaminant levels, i.e. creek, lake, pond, river, stream, well, etc. Because the contaminant levels of different water sources vary, sets of Black Berkey Elements may or may not reach the 6,000 gallon benchmark. Priming and re-priming the Black Berkeys will enhance the lifespan of the Elements, but eventual replacement of the Elements with usage is to be expected. There is no such thing as a water purifying filter that lasts indefinitely. The filters would only fail if they have reached their saturation level for removing/reducing contaminants, or if they are damaged/defective.
The manufacturer, New Millennium Concepts, Ltd., (NMC) has been and continues to be committed to providing quality products. Quality-assurance practices have always been in place and the adhesive issue in question has been resolved. For those who believe they need warranty service, NMC continues to offer their guarantee:http://berkeywater.com/FAQs/10j_Guarantee.html.
Regarding the Amazon post referenced above, we are familiar with the individual ( Mr. W.C.) who has posted those comments. His intent is to gather validation from others for his views. While he has the right to voice his opinion, his deliberate accusations of fraud are not to be taken lightly. In fact, his comments (found elsewhere on the internet attacking other companies and products) are an accusation of criminal activity on behalf of NMC...legally different from an opinion. He is sensational and understands nothing of manufacturing and production, nor is he informed on scientific lab standards and the politics involved with "pay-to-play" certification standards. Suffice it to say that individuals like him pop up from time to time, but we stand with NMC in our use and distribution of the Berkey Water Purification Systems.
The lab testing was conducted at the referenced labs, period. NMC routinely conducts quality assurance controls and tests . Regarding NSF or other certifying entities, the Berkey Systems have met and/or exceeded the Standards that labs utilize in their evaluations of claims.
Hope this helps!

whoops, sorry didn't see last post!
Thanks Jeff.
Is it true that the housings are made in India?
The Stainless Steel chambers are manufactured in India while all of the other components are manufactured and assembled here in the USA.
Unfortunately, the marketplace has created consumer demand that does not tolerate pricing for domestic steel fabrication/production along with those labor costs. To keep the Berkey Systems at a price that is more attainable for consumers, the Stainless Steel is manufactured there but assembled here by fellow Americans.

Jim's Shrimp and Mushroom Pesto Pasta
By Michelle Cox
I've wanted to post some seafood recipes for you, but since I'm highly allergic to seafood, I don't prepare those recipes. (Yeah, I'm funny about that. I like breathing.) So I'm grateful that my dear friend, Jim Rubart, was kind enough to share his wonderful shrimp recipe with us. Jim won the prestigious Christy Award for his book, Soul's Gate, and he has a new book, Memory's Door, which just came out. Visit his website for more information.
I enjoyed Jim's comments and the directions he sent for the recipe so much that I left it just like he sent it. I think you'll get a chuckle out of it as well. So here's Jim:
I cook like I write my novels, completely by the seat of my pants. So I rarely use clearly defined recipes, in fact I rarely do a dish the same way twice. Sometimes they turn out wonderful, sometimes not so much. This time it worked. Here's what I did:
• Put a liberal dose of baby shrimp in a pan on low • Chop up the amount of mushrooms that seems about right (see what I mean?) and get them sautéing in a separate pan
• Get the angel hair pasta going—bring the water to a boil, cook for 8 -12 minutes and all that
• Dice up a handful of Kalamota olives and stir them in with the mushrooms for a few minutes
• Mix in your now ready mushrooms and Kalamota olives with the shrimp, turn up the heat on the pan, stir a few times and smile at the possibility things might turn out okay
• Toss a handful of pine nuts into the pan, or a few more than that, or a few less
• Stir in the pesto (yes, once again put in the amount that seems about right)
• Mix everything together and let it get to perfect temperature while you drain your pasta and put it into a bowl
• Put your shrimp, mushroom, olive, pine nut concoction onto the pasta, mix all together, sprinkle in a little salt and pepper and you're ready!
• Serves … I have no idea. What I came up with was perfect for four.
See why Todd and I love having Jim Rubart as a friend?
I hope you'll enjoy Jim's recipe and I hope you'll stop by and visit me on my Facebook page, on Twitter and my blog for encouragement with a southern drawl, recipes, helpful tips, and inspirational stories.

Travel Guide Europe United Kingdom Scotland Scottish Islands Hebrides Inner Hebrides Skye and Small Isles
Less visited is Skye's spectacular coastline from Dunvegan to Carbost, containing the UK's highest sea cliffs.
The following are all on Skye:
There's so much on Skye that only some of the main sights are shown here!
Walkers Beware, the traverse of the Cuillin Ridge is not a walk. It demands scrambling and simple climbing skills. The length of the traverse and the height of the peaks give a false picture. Furthermore the weather can change very quickly and visibility is often very low indeed. Thirdly you have to carry any water you want to drink and as if that were not enough, something in the rock causes your compass to behave manically. For those who can do it this is probably the UK's best mountain outing and walkers need not despair completely. There are numerous points on the ridge that cn be reached and the view along the ridge far more than justifies the effort. Bruach na Frith is not even difficult if taken from Sligachan.
The best stretch of coast is that around MacLeods Maidens
The beach at Carbost is very attractive.
This is a magical loch. It is a true loch but its outflow leads very quickly to (Sea) Loch Scavaig, which is reached by boat (trips) from Elgol. Alternately there is a walk from Elgol via camasunary but this involves a bad step hwen exposed above the sea. lastly it can be reached by a fine walk from Sligachan - if the return seems too long, see if you can work out a way to go by boat and returrn to Sligachan or vice versa.
As yet there is no airport.
There is a wonderfully scenic line from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh where you can get a bus over the bridge and on into Skye.
The Skye bridge is now free
CityLink is the equivalent in Scotland to National Express in England.

Jaclyn Rosen Joins Swimming Staff
Sept. 4, 2014
CINCINNATI - Jaclyn Rosen has been hired by Mandy Commons-DiSalle to complete the 2014-15 University of Cincinnati swimming and diving staff. Rosen, a collegiate swimmer at Hawaii, comes to UC following a stint on the coaching staff at San Jose State.
"I'm very excited to have Jaclyn on board," Commons-DiSalle said. "She has a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and passion for the sport of swimming and is a great addition to our team."
Rosen echoed those sentiments.
"I'm really excited to be here at UC," Rosen said. "The school has so much to offer and I'm eager to build the swimming program with Mandy, (assistant coaches) Matt (Ense), Josh (Schneider) and (diving coach) Tory (McKenna). I look forward to recruiting student-athletes who will expand on our vision and ultimately want to be on a successful team."
Rosen served as a volunteer assistant for the Spartans for three seasons while also earning a masters of kinesiology in sports studies from San Jose State. SJSU compiled a 24-5 dual meet record while she was on the staff, including two Western Athletic Conference team championships and eight individual conference champions. Rosen also served as head swim coach of the Highlands Dolphins Aquatic Club for two years while in San Jose, directing a program of nearly 100 swimmers.
She earned Outstanding Graduate Project Award for her master's thesis, titled "What Division I Swim Coaches Look for in the Recruiting Process." Her research focused on the talent identification process, examining the behavioral and linguistic techniques used by coaches as they look to identify the fit between a prospective student-athlete and a team.
The San Francisco, California, native was a four-year member of the swim team at Hawaii, serving as team captain during her junior and senior seasons. The Rainbow Wahine captured the WAC team title during her senior year, when she also won the team's Most Inspirational Award. It was her second team award with Hawaii, as she earned the Coaches Award in 2003-04. Rosen received a bachelor's degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in exercise science, lifestyle management and leisure activity from the University of Hawaii in 2006.
Rosen joins already announced assistants Matt Ense, Josh Schneider and Tory McKenna to round out Commons-DiSalle's coaching staff. The Bearcats open their 2014-15 campaign on Friday, Oct. 17, when Xavier visits the Keating Aquatics Center at 5:00 p.m.

- - PVC fabric source? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/48952-pvc-fabric-source.html)
Bear mauling... Need PVC fabric source?
I got a nice air floor inflatable, less than a year old for free! Way cool.. only catch was it got mauled by a bear. It isn't that bad and I think it should be repairable, but I am going to need some larger pieces of PVC than usually comes with the repair kits. Anyone got a good source? Searching for PVC fabric on the internet brings up a lot of non related stuff and all the PVC inflatable repair kits I can find only include a 14 x 6" patch. I think I am going to need more than that!
Any recommendations on how to proceed are appreciated. I know a guy that glued an entire new floor on an inflatable so I know its possible!
Last time I needed a large patch, I bought a PVC rain poncho from a sporting goods store. It was the same weight material, and very close to the correct color. Wasn't super cheap but was much cheaper than the only place I could find that carried the material.
with todays disposable mindset I've found it's often cheaper and easier to buy something to cut up than it is to find the material itself.
A PVC shower curtain or poncho won't have the same reinforcing fibers in it. It looks like your dink is not PVC, but cloth calendared (pressure coated) with PVC, which is stronger.
You might try contacting some of the makers and telling them you need a large piece of cloth for repairs, and see if they can sell it to you or recommend a source.
I bought the special glue and the fabric from shipstore.com -Part of - ShipStore.com to fix my inflatable. For a repair like you want to do you really need the right glue and fabric. If those tears are in the air floor they are going to need to be virtually perfect. Air floors are inflated to about 10 psi or more, and they have lots of strands that tie the top and bottom together, so they can take that pressure and become very ridgid. Unless you are very handy this isn't a repair for the faint of heart! Of course your only investment will be the repair materials, so what the hell!
A friend of mine needed a large patch and called the local dingy store/repair shop. They gave him a piece from an old dink they had by the dumpster!
MCmaster is a source of all possible things
McMaster-Carr, look for vinyl coated polyester
HH-66 is good one component glue, however proper way to fix it would be with 2-component adhesives, just to make it heat resistant.
You will need to put patches both inside and outside on big cuts, and sew edges together.
You're thinking the $2. one-use cheapies you buy at walmart, many of the better sporting goods stores carry very nice heavy duty ponchos that are made with the same fabric as the dinghys.
Also, those free standing pools with the inflateable top ring have sides made of the same exact fabric. (easy set type, starting at $39. you'd get a roughly 30inch by 24ft length) bottom and ring are made the same as the walmart ponchos with no fabric, but the sides are very heavy duty with the fabric inside (able to hold 5000+ gallons of water!) Only real drawback is that they're only available in blue or white.
Like I say, I'm a big fan of buying things to cut up as material for a project. It's surprising how much more material you can get by purchasing a finished product than just buying the material.
(yeah I'm extremely frugal)
I've got the material for repairing my dinghy. No poncho in the world would be made of material that thick! I also have one of those pools you speak of for my grandson. Same deal, thicker than the poncho but no comparison to the dinghy fabric.
Just got a huge chunk of PVC from Inflatable Boat Service and Supply
The guys there were very helpful, fast and gave me a great deal.
Now I just have to wait 2 weeks for the glue to get here....

Civil Rights Attorney Michelle Alexander Speaks at Cooley Law School
January 17, 2012 – On January 17, Dr. Michelle Alexander, civil rights attorney, Ohio State law professor and author of The New Jim Crow, spoke at Cooley Law School's Lansing campus. Alexander's appearance coincided with the school's annual Martin Luther King Jr./Equal Access to Justice Day celebration and was sponsored by the Black Law Students Association and the Northwest Initiative/A.R.R.O.
While speaking at Cooley, Alexander shared how the consequences of a criminal conviction lead to barriers when individuals seek employment and how these barriers adversely affect communities, families and taxpayers. In addition to celebrating Martin Luther King Day, Dr. Alexander joined the Legislative Black Caucus at the Capitol earlier in the day to kick off the "Ban the Box" campaign. The Fair Chance Coalition is also working on the campaign to pass legislation that would take the box off job applications that asks, "Have you been convicted of a felony?"
About Cooley Law School: Founded in 1972, the Thomas M. Cooley Law School is a private, nonprofit, independent law school accredited by the American Bar Association and the Higher Learning Commission. Cooley has provided its more than 15,000 graduates with the practical skills necessary for a seamless transition from academia to the real world.

Get in Shape and Have Loads of Fun,
With the Fastest Growing, Most Exciting Martial Art in the World
The Connors Mixed Martial Arts Academy is now accepting new members for its Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Program. If you've ever wanted to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or if you've always wanted to learn a Martial Art, this is Your chance!
Why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
1. It Really Works! – Every successful Martial Artist today – from Ultimate Fighting Champions to Self Defense Experts – incorporates Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into their training. You'll walk with confidence.
"It is a true 'self defense' art and a whole lot of fun."
"Several years ago after having seen the UFC, I was curious to see what all this Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was all about... How could a smaller man defeat a larger opponent? I was looking for a martial art that wouldn't require me to do flying backkicks or crazy acrobatics but want to feel like I could protect myself if need be. JiuJitsu gave me the confidence that I was looking for, and I know for a fact that it works if applied appropriately. It is a true "self defense" art and a whole lot of fun."
Paul Roe,
age 47
2. It's Fun – Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a form of grappling. Its movements are flowing and unlimited in number and variety. Remember wrestling around as a young kid? Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will take you back to those fun times!
"I find myself looking forward to the end of the work day, so I can train at Mad Dog."
"Good Morning John.
3. It's a Great Work Out – You'll work every muscle in your body. Just try a class and you'll know immediately what a great work out it is.
"It has changed my body for the better as will yours."
"I have trained with John Connors
since April of 2006. It has helped with my overall physical conditioning
tremendously. I have replaced most of my cardio training with
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai work.
I tell all my existing clients
about the benefits of John's classes. It has changed my body for the
better as will yours.
Jason Zagami 26,
Expert Personal Trainer
4. It's Safe
– Our Academy is
made up of a great group of students. Many of them are educated
white-collar professionals – all of them are responsible, mature and
respectful martial artists. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu allows you to
train and spar live without hurting yourself or your partner.

Further Reading
Deep in the American West is a chasm so great, crossing it seems out of question to the average tourist peering into its maw. But there's soul in the Grand Canyon, and those willing to take the plunge will find the beating heart of a beast, not to mention two billion years of geological history. Going "Rim to Rim to Rim" is a double-crossing of the Grand Canyon, covering 42.4 miles and 22,000 feet of vertical, and it's a rite of passage for ultra runners. In late April I laced up with my friend Erich Owen and ran the trail from mid-morning to dusk. This is what we call a "graduate-level run", complete with temperature changes, rocky obstacles and punishing vertical. Put up with the pain and bring the right gear for a long day out and you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of a true national treasure.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to host conference
The Akron, Ohio Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will host its semi-annual conference April 19 at 7 p.m. and 20 at 10 a.m. at the Latter-day Saint chapel located at 106 E. Howe Road in Tallmadge.
Visiting church authority Elder Michael John U. Teh of the Church's First Quorum of the Seventy will be a special guest at the conference sessions. All members and the general public ages 12 years and older are invited to the Saturday evening session, while the Sunday session is open for all ages.
"We are thrilled to have Elder Teh at the conference sessions in Northeast Ohio. We are looking forward to his message and to commemorating this season of Easter as we celebrate the life and the resurrection of the Savior Jesus Christ," said Douglas Talley, president of the Akron Ohio Stake. "We extend an invitation to all to join with us for these meetings," added Talley.
Teh was called to serve as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints March 31, 2007, at age 41. The LDS Church organizes its congregations geographically into "wards" and several wards then combine to make a "stake." Because there are more than 15 million members of the Church worldwide, "Area" assignments are given to selected church leaders who oversee church activity in those areas. Teh is currently serving as president of the Philippines Area of the Church. He was born in Davao City, Davao Del Sur, Philippines in June 1965. He married Grace May Weedon in December 1989. They are the parents of three children and reside in Manila, Philippines.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a membership of nearly 12,500 members in Northeast Ohio. The Akron Ohio Stake consists of 10 wards with membership from New Philadelphia, Canton, Ashland, Wooster, Medina and Akron. Stake conferences are scheduled twice each year with church leaders speaking on a variety of topics from the gospel of Jesus Christ. For more information about the Church, visit www.mormon.org

For future meeting times, visit the website warriorsjourneyhome.org.
Human trafficking is of concern to many. On April 7 at 630 p.m., Ginny Collins of Partners against Trafficking of Humans Stark will speak. Collins has been a speaker for PATHS for two years. PATHS is an all-volunteer organization in Stark County with a mission to educate and advocate for the prevention and abolition of human trafficking. Anyone who would like to contribute to the mission of the month may take a new, small, unwrapped stuffed animal for Children's Hospital of Akron.
During the Lenten season, First Congregational Church has two options for adults to deepen their faithful journey. On Wednesdays, through April 9 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., there will be a book discussion led by the Rev. Dr. John Schluep. The focus of the study will be the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, supplemented with the book by John Ortberg, "Who Is This Man: The Unpredictable Impact of the Inescapable Jesus." The cost is $12 per book.
The second opportunity is "Rest in God: A Lenten Invitation" on Thursdays through April 10 from 6 to 6:30 p.m. A guided contemplation led by the Rev. Matt Wooster will teach and lead the ancient spiritual practices of Contemplative Meditation and Lectio Divina, a Latin phrase meaning "holy reading" of scripture. This opportunity for spiritual practice is designed to open space in people's lives to listen when God is speaking to them and within them. The 40 days of Lent are modeled on the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, and the 40 years spent by the Hebrews in the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt.
First Congregational Church of Tallmadge is located at 85 Heritage Drive. For more information, call 330-633 4931 or visit firstname.lastname@example.com or the church Facebook page at First Congregational Church of Tallmadge, UCC to view current activities.

Australia and New Zealand CBNG development and environmental implications
Taulis, Mauricio (2009) Australia and New Zealand CBNG development and environmental implications. In Reddy, KJ (Ed.) Coalbed Natural Gas: Energy and Environment. Nova Publishers.
Following the success of Coalbed Natural Gas (CBNG) operations in the United States, companies in Australia and New Zealand have been actively exploring and developing this technology for the last two decades. In particular, the Bowen and Surat basins in Queensland, Australia, have undergone extensive CBNG development. Unfortunately, awareness of potential environmental problems associated with CBNG abstraction has not been widespread and legislation has at times struggled to keep up with rapid development. In Australia, the combined CBNG resource for both the Bowen and Surat basins has been estimated at approximately 10,500 PJ with gas content as high as 10 m3/tonne of coal. There are no official estimates for the magnitude of the CBNG resource in New Zealand but initial estimates suggest this could be up to 1,300 PJ with gas content ranging from 1 to 5 m3/tonne of coal. In Queensland, depressurization of the Walloon Coal Measures to recover CBNG has the potential to induce drawdown in adjacent deep aquifer systems through intraformational groundwater flow. In addition, CBNG operators have been disposing their co-produced water by using large unlined ponds, which is not the best practice for managing co-produced water. CBNG waters in Queensland have the typical geochemical signature associated with CBNG waters (Van Voast, 2003) and thus have the potential to impair soils and plant growth where land disposal is considered. Water quality from exploration wells in New Zealand exhibit the same characteristics although full scale production has not yet begun. In general, the environmental impacts that could arise from CBNG water extraction depend on the aquifer system, the quantity and quality of produced water, and on the method of treatment and disposal being used. Understanding these impacts is necessary to adequately manage CBNG waters so that environmental effects are minimized; if properly managed, CBNG waters can be used for beneficial applications and can become a valuable resource to stakeholders.

130 to 430 RBZ upgrade questions
Just bought a 2011 GC laredo. I didn't think I wanted a screen but after driving around a bit I think it would look better. I want it mostly for aesthetics (don't care about GPS/satellite/back up cam).
I would like to plug in my phone into the usb on the head unit and play music from there but my laredo doesn't have uconnect/bluetooth. Will this work?
What is a reasonable price for a used RBZ (what would you be willing to pay for one)?
Will I lose my steering controls?
Is this the correct part number (P05064685AI) for the type of laredo I have?
Sorry for the rookie questions - I am new to this. It is good to have a community here I have bounce ideas on (I have searched a ton so far). I will upload some pics/experiences with my jeep as soon as I have time.

"6SANITY"!!! 2012 BMW 650 | New 22" CV3 Wheels | Vid & Shoot
"6SANITY"!!! 2012 BMW 650 | New 22" CV3 Wheels | The Clearport
This 2012 BMW 650 is so full of win that I had a tough time coming up with a title to describe all the awesome that will be shared. "6SANITY" came to me being a basketball fan and it accurately leads you to know the epicness you will see. First here is the incredible video featuring our new 22" CV3 wheels at the "Clearport"
This is one breathtaking combination of vehicle, fitment, wheel choice and location. The new 6 series already is head turning and this owner took things to the next level featuring our 22" wheels and a lowered suspension.
The future classic CV3 has been enlarged to 22" to fit larger Grand Coupes like the 6 series. Fitment is perfect and this wheel will make you stand out in a wonderful way.
From the rear you can see the more aggressive stance from the rear as the CV3 gives this new 650 the proper fitment it needs.
This 650 means the business!! With the new 22" CV3 the sport stands out much more pronounced. This is one insane combination, it is 6SANITY!
You can click any picture to go the full gallery of the 6SANITY photoshoot..
Vossen Wheels of course are backed by an industry leading 5 year warranty. If you have any questions please email us at email@example.com , call us at 305-463-778 or contact your Vossen Wheels Dealer and don't forget to check out our Facebook page, Instagram and Pinterest for exclusives not seen on forums!
Huge thanks to Bimmerfest member Tss6501!!!!
Bump for an incredible vehicle!
I thought I posted on this thread already. Maybe it was on another BMW forum.
Anyway, hot car. Amazing how the 22's transform the car into something to lust after.
I need this car and the exact setup in my life. Stunning!
sex on wheels !!
Got to tell you - better have super tire/wheel insurance plan- going to need it ! 22's are too large for this car, look at the tiny well clearances. Looks great, but impractical to actually drive.
Yes......staying far away from garage queens.
1 member with 22" on 6 said ride not bad !!
Is there a performance reason for the wheels and/or lower the car? (Curious)
This shot just makes me CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
It just happens to be the best size for a coupe this darn big.
Once you put on taller wheels you gotta lower the car to balance out the look.
It's all about looks. That's good enough for me.
this cab looks the bomb ****
Mike F / Vossen Wheels

"6SANITY"!!! 2012 BMW 650 | New 22" CV3 Wheels | Vid & Shoot
I'm in West Palm as well, can't wait to see how it's going to look. Do post pics. There are a few places to check here locally..
Custom wheel connection (Military Trail)
Serious Autosport (Palm Beach Lakes Blvd across from Braman BMW)
Sent from BimmerApp mobile app
Thanks, I'm beyond excited. The body kit arrived friday along with the CF splitter. Im waiting on the CF hood and splitter support rods from vivid racing. Then its off to the paint booth. I will update with pics as she progresses:thumbup:.
Hey John,
Your project looks cool! A couple of questions:
1. Did you get front and rear bumpers from Sarano?
2. What was your or your body shop's impressions of the quality?
3. Has it all come together with out any major issues?
If ur 6er is finished, I'd definitely would like to check out some pics:thumbup:
Well I would love to say it was good but the first shop said the front bumper was impossible to mount because they where affraid of the glass cracking and I have still yet to receive the hood.. So it has turned into a rear test of patience because I sold the oem hood and bumper.. I may just give the 650 to the wife and go get and M6 since I have seen them lately rather cheap..:(
WOW! Sorry to hear that Bro. Do you mind sharing what vendors u purchased from, Sarona? Vivid?
The reason I ask is I am considering purchasing a front bumper from Sarona and I can't find much feedback about their products on any of the BMW boards where I've searched. So any feedback would be appreciated. THX
I have another person coming to look at the kit who does nothing but install body kits so before I go bad mouthing anyones business I will get a second opinion but I am a bit pissed that the hood is taking over 2 month to be delivered..

Home > World News > Article
Simone is only nine years old, but in between playing soccer and sitting down for a big family lunch, he spent part of the day smoking, like almost all his friends and the rest of the town.
He may be too young to buy the cigarettes, but he explains: "My parents bought me some."
Nearby one mother is encouraging Agostino, her two-year-old, to take his first puff.
The anti-smoking message does not appear to have reached Capena, a small medieval town to the north of Rome.
Every year, as in many towns and villages across Italy, a bonfire is lit as part of the festival of St Anthony, which is also celebrated with the blessing of animals to bring prosperity in the year ahead.
But, unlike in other places, once the fire is burning in the square, the inhabitants of Capena use it to light cigarettes.
The Italian Government may have fallen into line with many other countries around the world this month by introducing a tough law banning smoking in bars and restaurants, but that did not stop the people of Capena on Sunday. As in previous years, the most eager participants were children, some as young as six. Even the official brochure about the town boasts how characteristic it is to see everyone, even the children, smoking throughout the day.
Rosalba has been coming from her village nearby for 11 years to take part and has photos of her children posing with cigarettes since they were one. Her eldest, Giulia, is now nine.
"They don't smoke properly," Rosalba said. "Then again, Giulia did just try inhaling and started choking," she laughs. "But I'm not worried about them taking up smoking."
It all began harmlessly enough in Capena, hundreds of years ago, with the smoking of rosemary.
Some remain faithful to the rosemary custom, but most now opt for cigarettes.
All this puts the Mayor of Capena, Riccardo Benigni, in a rather awkward position.
He is also the local doctor. "It's not a good thing. This I can say as a doctor and a non-smoker. Of course it's not a good example for anyone, but the origins were completely different."
Children were being urged not to smoke during the festival, he said.
Raffaele Luise, of the Italian Cancer League, said the practice passed on a dangerous message to children. "I'm convinced that when children associate the souvenir of their first cigarette with having fun in a happy situation with the whole village and all their mates, these memories can lead a kid to repeat that behaviour."

PwC people and change point of view that examines how companies develop a plan to ensure that senior leaders play a key, active role in the formal development of high-potential talent.
To ensure that your organization has the right talent on tap when and where it is needed, you must find a way to translate your company's future business vision and strategies into a clear set of success factors, or leadership competencies. Great care must be given to the consideration and development of these success factors; they will become both the foundation for succession management and the criteria for assessing, planning, and evaluating talent going forward.In this paper, PwC examines how companies can define a transparent road map for continuous development and ensure that senior leaders play a key role—not just in the formal development, but also in the mentorship of high-potential talent.

Cloud computing is one of the hottest topics in information technology today. With all the confusion surrounding acronyms ending in 'aas' like Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) it can be intimidating for even seasoned IT professionals. This presentation will briefly discuss the different types of cloud platforms and then address one of the key business scenarios for the cloud: Software as a Service. - Joseph Hofstader

nothin' like a good argument on the Internet!
I haven't attended yet, but plan to go to the training session next month, and if I like what I see I'll return for some matches. the majority of trigger time I've had with handguns is at the range shooting a static target while standing still at exactly 8 yards at no more than 1 round per second (unless no one is looking ). so IDPA seems like a fairly inexpensive option for a civilian to train in an environment that has numerous variables that are more akin to a gunfight than the aforementioned range. common sense tells me that it isn't comparable to a real life gunfight and it won't qualify me for the SEALs or US Marshall, but will be good experience that will make me more prepared for a real life encounter. and even if that's only a little bit more prepared, that's good with me. and if I like it, I will probably try to make it 2 - 3 times a year will help hone/maintain those skills.
thanks to the [OP] for the feedback, can't wait till October!

1st Place: Alienware Area-51 m15x
Alienware and gaming notebooks in general can polarise opinion, since not everyone is so keen on spending crazy money on expensive gaming notebooks. But, if you can see the value in saving space without sacrificing performance, then you can do little better than the Area-51 m15x.
For starters it's the only 15.4in notebook you can get that can house high performance graphics like the nVidia 8800M GT - since replaced by the 9800M GT. So, though it still weighs 3.6kg, it's not anything like as large and hefty as the great number of 17in affairs out there, but just as powerful.
On top of this, Alienware furnished the machine with an awesome customisable lighting system, including a backlit keyboard, touchpad and accenting around the screen. This, combined the extreme performance and 1,920 x 1,200 screen, makes this the most complete desktop replacement around.
Read the full review of the Alienware Area-51 m15x.
2nd Place: Acer Aspire 8920G
Time has put the Acer Aspire 8920G in a better light. At the time we didn't quite deem it worthy of an award, but as natural competitors are still few and far between its Full HD, 16:9 display, Blu-ray drive, abundance of features and Acer's usual value for money make a powerful argument.
Its screen is undoubtedly the main draw. Its 1,920 x 1,080 resolution makes it ideal for HD content and it's sharp and colourful, too. It's also joined by an impressive speaker setup that delivers some bass and a convincing virtual soundscape thanks to Dolby Home Theatre audio.
Read the full review of the Acer Aspire 8920G.
3rd Place: Samsung R700
Propping up the value end of the market, the Samsung R700 has been one of the sleeper hits of 2008. Ever since launch it has been one of the most popular entries on our shopping site, mainly because it offers such brilliant value for money.
For around £550 you get a large 320GB hard drive, 3GB of RAM and a machine that's deceptively slim and light (weighing just 3.19kg) given its large 17in display. It's also a moderately attractive piece of kit, making it a bargain for anyone that just wants something simple and usable.

The secret to designing on a budget...Pin It
This is the thing -- fingers are usually more sensitive than eyes. What does that mean? Think about it...your eye can be fooled fairly easily into thinking that a plastic is really metal or that a piece of glass could possibly be a fine jewel. Touch that plastic or glass though and you instantly know exactly what it is.
The towels? YES!! Spend money! You touch them every day!
The towel RACK -- not so much...$4 on clearance...
See how that works? If I touch it, I spent a pretty penny on it (hello sink and faucet!). The feel of solid, brushed metal every time I turn the water on and off a million times a day makes my bathroom feel more expensive than it really is. In fact, the faucets cost more than any other single item in the space comparatively (based on what I I could have paid for another functional faucet).
I could have spent a pretty penny on mirrors, but glass is glass and I never touch that frame. You wouldn't know it is cheap unless you look really good and reach over the sink and touch it. You might do that if you are using my bathroom and very nosy, but probably not. You certainly aren't climbing up the sink to touch the light fixture (or are you?)
In any case, if I were able to spend lots o money on EVERYTHING, that would have been nice, but if you are on a budget, spend money on the things you TOUCH.

Lakeland Police release new information on shooting
LAKELAND, Fla. (970 WFLA) – Lakeland Police released more information Wednesday about gunfire between an officer and a suspect that left both injured.
Police say the suspect in the shooting is identified as 66-year-old Tommie A. Lanier of Lakeland. Police say he matched the description of a person as being wanted on a misdemeanor warrant and was he walking in the same area. When the officers tried to stop him, police say he backed up and took out a gun from under his shirt and fired two shots at Officer Mills who was standing 12 to 15 feet away.
Police say Mills was struck by at least one bullet in the right arm and was able to return fire utilizing his duty weapon, as did Sergeant Gary. Police say Officer Mills has been treated and released from the Lakeland Regional Medical Center.
Police say Lanier was shot three times and is listed in critical condition at LRMC.
At the time of all this, police say Lanier had four handguns on him and additional 67 rounds in pouches on his belt and in his pockets. After further investigating, police learned Lanier had a Carrying Concealed Permit that was issued on 10/16/07 and expired on 10/2/12.
A search warrant was executed on his residence which yielded 2 additional firearms, 8 holsters and 356 rounds of ammunition (22 caliber, 38 caliber, 357 caliber and 45 caliber), according to police.
Police don't know why Lanier shot at the police officers but a warrant is being issued charging him with Attempted Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer.
Detectives and the State Attorney's Officer are currently investigating the shooting. Per department policy, Officer Mills and Sgt. Gary will be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.


text: EdOz September 08, 2013 10:37 AM I feel for Massa but it seems he will be remembered as a driver who didn't deliver when paired with Alonso which is a shame. The guy was the best second driver any team can ask for... ruining his drive by testing new parts for the team or to protect the driver #1 from his opponents and etc. The sacrifices he's done for Ferrari are only comparable to those done by Barrichello when driving alongside Schumacher. The difference being that Massa actually has the pace to challenge his team mate every now and then... probably much more often than we get to see since Ferrari won't allow him to. I still hope they'll retain him but in case they don't, I'd like a team like Lotus to sign him up for at least one season so we get to see what he can do as a #1 driver once again. He only had that status for less than half a season and he nearly won the championship (2008). Reply Report abuse 25 agree 6 disagree

Theres just something about this classy, non-weathered lid that really catches my eye. Also, notice how the red/blue arrows mirror that of the ROTJ fett. Anyhow, below are some pics post dremmeling, sanding, tad of puddy (from dremmeling ; ), and the second coat of primer. This afternoon I plan to hit the first coat of gloss white (rustoleum). Ill keep you guys updated as I progress through this WIP.

A warm Kaiser role from Christopher Plummer
Knew more about Wilhelm II than the movie reveals
Scott Marks 3:09 p.m., June 23
I have moved from Little Falls to San Diego and now live at the Golden West Hotel Down town.
All right, John, you're home; now get out there and find Judy!
Yes, this is certainly an intriguing twist of plot. I'm reminded of this excerpt from a December 2009 installment:
"In the eighth day before Christmas, John was thinking of the future with Judy! A crow cawed, a blue-bird hopped from a tree and a chipmunk snatched an acorn. The weather has warmed to 14F which is a good sign that the future is warming up."
" ... warming up," indeed.
You guys are so sweet! :)

This job is extremely easy and like herbp said 20-60 minutes. It is helpful to have an extra set of hands to pull the lines away when you pull the pump out but this doesn't require an experienced person to help just 2 hands. Make sure that you turn the crank over to align the vacuum pump grove vertical. If everything lines up it will slide in all the way nice and easy just watch the seal and make sure that it doesn't get crushed like my buddy did to mine. Here is a like that will explain everything that you need to do to complete this job.
If you could do something for me on your old part after you take it off it would help me out a ton and I would appreciate it. My pump was leaking at the o-ring so I replaced it when I did my timing cover gasket. Now I noticed that it is also leaking from the outside cover on the pump. I can't seem to find it anywhere if I can actually just take that cover off and reseal it with some silicone. Once you take your part off and it is junk to you could you please take that cover off and let me know if it is possible to reseal it or if the whole thing would fall apart. You can see the cover in the second picture. It appears to have 4 maybe 5 bolts to completely pull it off. Thanks for your help.

thank you both!
I am so excited ,I did my first homemade DT today,thanks to this site and thread.
here's the combo:
half of an avocado
1/3 can of coconut milk
1/2 tps of coconut oil
a couple drops of evo
vanilla yogurt
I threw all the above ingredients to a blender and plopped it all on my dry hair.
I loved the curl and definition it gave my hair! I am trying this again.
3b/C with nicer curls on the bottom!
Hair: naturally very dry and VERY porous
hair seems to be moody.
Does not seem to like oils
Does not like protein or too much?
Does not like rich products
So, I ask myself. What does it like? That is the question, and I'm on a mission.

At the end of a break
We had a really good week off, although I dont feel any more rested than I do during camp. But I suppose that comes with the territory of having an almost-two year old who wakes up before 7 every morning. Bramp.
It was really good, however, to take a week off to readjust my focus, and recenter myself on Christ. Has anyone else noticed how easy it is to start doing "good" and loving and Christian things/activities in my OWN strength rather than in His strength. The truth is that even if I accomplish this "successfully," there is no victory in serving or giving if I am not doing it out of the Spirit's strength within me.
For all those who are praying for me, for our family, and for camp - one thing you can be praying for us these next two weeks is that we remain dependent on Christ to love and serve and even to have fun with the kids through us.
Ephesians 4:32-5:2
"And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."
One of our elective classes camps out one night every week. Somehow I manage to end up down there every time they have a campfire . . . it may or may not have something to do with the fact that they make s'mores. Just saying.
Colette and me: She's our fearless leader, the camp director herself. She rocks, for realz.
This is Robert, one of the kiddos from last week who I just love to pieces. He has some issues as the result of some pretty serious abuse as a child, but he's been adopted by an amazing woman (who I SO admire) and is a great kid. I love him.
Chrys, one of the many kids who have been at camp every single year that I've been there. Four years people, that's a long time!
My sweet girl D'Meira, who somehow finagled her way into coming to camp two weeks in a row with two different ministries.
On the high zip. Kudos to them for conquering a fear which I have yet to face. Just don't tell the kids I haven't done it, especially since I constantly reassure them that it's super-safe and fun and easy and . . . frightening. But I usually leave that last part out.
I love everything about this picture. Particularly Libby in the background - it's basically all the most wonderful things about camp in one snapshot.
Joshua, one of the many kiddos who stole my heart last week. He never stopped smiling, for realz.
Chianne feeding the horses during photography class. I'm good at keeping them focused on the task at hand, obviously.
*Side note: See! I told you I'd post lots of pictures today! Oh and coming up tomorrow, some new ones of Jayci, since I'm feeling like she's been a little neglected on the blog as of late.

OH boy, do i feel ya! I will praying for you all this week. Continue to take as many breaks as the Lord allows to redirect ya focus. That is always a need!ReplyDelete
Love ya!
Becca -so glad you commented on our blog and that I now get to return the favor! Btw, we are originally from Atlanta (still have family on the south side) and visit a couple of weeks each year. Maybe we could hook up with you guys and see your ministry first hand someday. Love the pictures from camp and look forward to tracking with you.=)ReplyDelete
I read your blog too :) LOVE the new pictures!ReplyDelete
what great pictures!!!!! Love your outlook too :)ReplyDelete
Can't wait to Jayci pictures - I'm going through withdrawal!
Welcome back sista! Missed you last week. But I totally know what it is like to need a break. Hope you are feeling refreshed and renewed. The camp pictures are awesome and can't wait to see some new Jayci ones. Happy Sunday and have a great week!ReplyDelete
Beautiful pictures!!!!! :)ReplyDelete
these pictures are absolutely beautiful! Sorry I have not been to your blog in a little while, I can get kind of distracted but I forgot how inspiring it is. Thank you so much for sharing :)ReplyDelete
Glad to see your not laying somewhere comatose from exhaustion! Although I'm sure you're pretty close! I love your pictures. The joy is simply radiating out of them. Keep it up girl..ReplyDelete
I just always love looking at all the pictures you take...ReplyDelete
Love that silouette pic by the fire.. & the "thumbs up" behind the gang is awesome! Being a horse fan, I love the one too of the young lady feeding hay... she looks nervous feeding him - I love you can read her just with her body language.
Yipee for Jayci pictures coming!
I think about the kids that can come only once and the impact you have on them.ReplyDelete
And then I see Chrys' picture and stand amazed at the goodness of God to allow you to have a continuing influence on his life. I can't help but think about what a difference this time spent will make in his life. One look at those eyes and I know it will.

These makeup stores need to understand that when they do things like this, it really turns off a lot of customers. Just like my experience with Clinique--I refuse to buy their products now because in this time and age, you're telling me you can't make dark tan foundation?! I wanted a specific foundation to battle dry skin and it was only for the lighter folks. Sets me off TBH!
There's only a 6% Black population in my city and the last time that I went to a Sephora, she put on the DARKEST foundation that she could find. Yea, OK. I am Black, but we all aren't the same shade!
I think that I'm so afraid of getting angry again, that I just stick to MAC; they've always been helpful anyway, so I never have any complaints.

UPDATE 3-Deere sees weak equipment sales in 2016 as farm economy remains soft
(Adds comments from conference call)
By Meredith Davis
Nov 25 (Reuters) - Deere & Co on Wednesday reported a drop in quarterly earnings that was not as steep as Wall Street expected and gave a less dire outlook than analysts had feared, saying it was well-positioned to weather a worsening slump in demand for its farm equipment.
Shares of the maker of John Deere tractors were up 4 percent at $79.40 in afternoon trading.
Chief Financial Officer Raj Kalathur told analysts on a conference call that while the company forecasts its third straight year of declines in sales of agricultural equipment, its main business, in fiscal 2016, it also expects to remain "solidly profitable."
"We are forecasting a very healthy level of cash flow of over $2.5 billion in 2016," Kalathur said. "Our actions and proactively controlling expenses, costs, and managing assets have enabled us to deliver substantially better results than in any of the past downturns."
Deere expects total equipment sales to drop about 11 percent in its first quarter, which began on Nov. 1, and fall about 7 percent for the year.
Deere also forecast net income attributable to the company at about $1.4 billion for fiscal 2016, down from $1.94 billion in 2015. Analysts on average were expecting about $1.31 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
While Deere has managed to beat analysts' expectations, market fundamentals largely remain weak. Continued...

TV time tied to diabetes, death
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - People who spend more hours in front of the television are at greater risk of dying, or developing diabetes and heart disease, with even two hours of television a day having a marked effect, according to a U.S. study.
Every day, U.S. residents spend an average of 5 hours watching television, while Australians and some Europeans log 3.5 to 4 hours a day, said researchers led by Frank Hu, at the Harvard School of Public Health.
"The message is simple. Cutting back on TV watching is an important way to reduce sedentary behaviors and decrease risk of diabetes and heart disease," Hu said.
People who sit in front of the television are not only exercising less, they are likely eating unhealthy foods, he added.
"The combination of a sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet and obesity creates a 'perfect breeding ground' for type 2 diabetes and heart disease."
This is not the first study to associate TV time with ill effects. Many studies have found a strong link to obesity, and one 2007 report found that more TV time was associated with higher blood pressure in obese children.
Another study that same year found that overweight children who watch food advertisements tend to double their food intake.
For the new study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Hu and his team reviewed 8 studies examining the link between television time and diseases, that in total followed more than 200,000 people, for an average of 7 to 10 years.
Hu and his colleagues found that for every two hours of daily television that people watched, their risk of diabetes increased by 20 percent, while their risk of heart disease rose by 15 percent. Continued...

I'd be more than happy to go that route, except I did a drain & fill & filter change 18K miles ago, and the fluid that came out was incredibly clean and sediment-free. It even smelled new. Nothing like the horror stories I had read about with nasty smelling fluid, and pans filled with silt. It looked like it was drained out of a brand new car.
And to clarify, the ATF I drained out of the drain plug (I drained a little out to look for signs of coolant in the bottom of the pan) is reddish in color, like normal ATF. The stuff coming out of the fill plug when the engine is running and everything is warmed up has a brownish appearance, but I think that's because of all the bubbles in it.
Bottom line, here's where I'm at:
- Car is acting like ATF might be low
- Opening fill plug with engine running and everything warmed up produces a thin, frothy liquid, so it's acting as though it were OVER-filled, but I don't see how that's possible
