Bad Injector?
Oh great joy... imagine every time you go into reverse, after 10 seconds you're in limp mode. Oh, and if you get stopped in rush hour traffic, limp mode - and in the high speed lane.
Apparently the culprit is a bad injector in #5... but these are backordered and it may be weeks?
Does this seem plausible? This si the 5th time since May that the car has been in for engine problems. To say I'm disheartened with BMW right now would be an understandment. When the thing runs - it's a pleasure, but way too often it's been a pain.
Which size engine, the 550? Yes, I'd say that's possible.
Not good though if the car has been in the shop 5 times in 9 months for engine problems. If it's a new car, I think that would qualify for the lemon law.
Yeah, 550. A 2010. I bought it certified, but am beginning to believe the "Tommy Boy " quote where they are discussing the "guarantee"
Top Tier Gasoline
I don't know if this might make a difference, but a bunch of auto manufacturers (BMW included) have set some standards for fuel that has proven to keep their engines running well. Brands get tested periodically, and the approved list changes occassionally. Their recommendation is that if you do NOT use fuel from one of these Top Tier fuel suppliers, that you use fuel injector cleaner on a periodic basis. Check this out... http://www.toptiergas.com/ it might prevent future problems.
My dealer didn't mention any of this, but I did see a brochure at another one (from BMW) that discussed it. Check it out.
My guess is that this is not commonly known but should be.
Oh yes, it happens to me a few times a year. They changed 4 injectors for me. Service guy told me that the other 4 would act up soon but BMW didn't authorize to change all 8. It is happening to me now. The sneaky thing is that it always happens to me at night time or weekend, when the dealerships are closed. Next day, the problem usually goes away. So, when I bring it to dealership, they look at me like an idiot saying there is nothing wrong.

www.toptiergas.com? Do you use injector cleaner if you don't?
Apparently, BP and Hess are not part it. I also do a lot to Costco gas. I doubt it has anything to do with it. I have another BMW that takes Hess, BP and Costco with no problem and that car is 75,000 miles and counting. I haven't tried any injector cleaner. Those cleaner only cleans up a small amount of dirt besides the car is still under warranty so I rather have BMW to fix it.
This car is near the lease mileage limit and the lease is up in May, so it is only being used sparingly.
After 3 years, I am more than ready to walk away from this car. 1) V8 MPG is too much for me to take, 2) the ride is too floaty for back passenger and 3) trunk is not as useful as I anticipate. I have 2 young kids. Sometimes we need 2 strollers when we go out. 2 strollers in GT gives me no more space in the trunk. I just got the new MB GL diesel. I am very happy with it.

The amount of detergents in the gasoline does make a difference. I do not have the Brochure BMW printed and I picked up at one dealer anymore, but it had a recommendation about the frequency of use of injector cleaner, and if I remember, it was fairly frequent when not using fuel from the TopTierGas group. I'm just curious if following that guideline would have made a difference. I occasionally use a tank from a place that's not on the list, but that's probably less than 5% of my fillups, and then, they're usually not in succession.
I drove both the V8 and the I6, and while there was more power, for most of my driving, I find the I6 has plenty. Now, I would have opted for the diesel, if it was available I think. That extra torque and mileage would have made a difference overall.
Well, another thing is that BMW manual recommends BP, but Top Tier Gas has no BP. If we need to put in injector cleaner so often ourselves, then BMW is way too sensitive. I recently read an article (I think on insideline) about a comparison between no name gas and brand name gas. After 10,000 miles, the difference in engines are minimal.
I really think it is as simple as BMW got a batch of defective injectors.

After following those on the Top Tier Gas list for awhile, some of the firms do change out. Additives do cost money, and to save a penny or two at the manufacturing level, it can make a difference in their bottom line. I have no way of knowing how close some of the suppliers not on the list are to the magic cutoff, and they may be close, so that could account for the differences seen in that test you mentioned. But, at least around here, the difference in cost is minimal to chose one that is on the list, so I've been doing that 95% of the time. When on a trip, I make exceptions when in a strange area, and needing to fill up. Some of the no-name, local gas stations buy gas from various vendors, and their fuel might be good one delivery, and not so good the next...so I choose a brand with a corporate backing (I've been mostly using SHell).
If you notice, the auto manufacturer consortium that started up Top Tier Gas testing includes six big car producers...so, it's not just BMW that says buying good gas prevents issues, it's BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen and Audi.
Then how do you explain they are printing BP on the manual. Is your car really going to suffer if you don't use Castro for motor oil? BMW recommends Castro oil. I know for fact that I have done Costco gas for more than 3 years with BMW, M-B, Toyota, Honda; 4 spots, 6 spots and 8 spots engines. I think I have enough sample size to say at least BP or Costco is not the problem. My BMW GT is the only one having problem. The problem only comes when the colder temperature is present or if I don't touch it for a week.
I have people in BMW corporate telling me in private that don't waste the money on those injectors cleaner.

Based on jad's tip about Top Tier, I vif isted the site and saw that there are companies in Canada. Since its regular fuel (87 octane) is about 4 cents/litre cheaper than "the rest" and its 91 octane is only 10 cents/litre more than that ('the rest' usually charge 15 cents/litre more), I sent a general question to COSTCO Canada HQ in Ottawa (just down the road from where I work) asking:
a. from whom does COSTCO get its gasoline; and
b. would COSTCO Gasoline qualify in the Top Tier program (I included the link)?
The next day I received a reply stating:
a. there are only 15 refineries in Canada to supply gasoline regardless of
brand name; (this did not surprise me as I knew this already); and
b. COSTCO gas is unbranded, meets the minimum standard set by the Canadian
government, and has no additives thus it could not meet Top Tier requirements.
That said, I have no problem throwing a bottle of injector cleaner every 5 tankfuls or so since the car runs well on COSTCO gas and, in addition to the better price, if I use my COSTCO AMEX/Membership card to pay, I receive a 2% rebate annually to spend in the warehouse.
As for the reference to BP gasoline in the owner's manual, I suspect that it likely reflects the UK and/or Europe and not North America though I stand to be corrected.
The EPA in the USA requires some minimum detergent in gasoline sold here (that may differ depending on what country you live in). It is up to the individual company to decide if it wants to provide more. How you drive (lots of short trips, only highway, mixed) can make a difference on how effective the detergents that are in the gas can work. So, your results may differ. What isn't known, is if with a certain driving style, switching to a fuel on the Top Tier Gas list would solve an existing problem.
As I read the test procedure, they take the fuel w/o detergents, run a test engine until most of the injectors fail. How long that takes, I don't know. Then, after replacing the injectors, run that same engine in the same cycle, and the injectors must remain clean and working once the detergents are added.
How sensitive any individual engine is to these effects, I don't know, but the corporate word is if you choose a fuel from the Top Tier Gas list, you should have fewer, if any problems maintaining a clean internal engine.
I don't think BMW, along with the other big manufacturers in the consortium, has any stake in the fuel companies; only that their cars run without problems. WHen an injector fails, it could either be an electrical problem, or clogged. But, trying to run dirty will affect overall performance, economy, and longevity while it is compromised. Just like we try to keep the oil clean and working, I feel it's good to try to keep the rest of the internals at their peak...I'll take their suggestions...they have many more engineers studying this than I could hope to cover. The inconvenience of one service call, even if BMW pays for it, is worth seeking out a supplier that is recommended if it has any reasonable expectations of avoiding a problem (to me, it does).
BMW has millions of miles of test data where they spent the time to analyze what characteristics their engines work best with in oil. You don't have to use Castrol, there are others available that meet the requirements. If you keep your car only during the lease period, you probably would never notice a difference. If you keep a car until you're tired of it (and with me, that's typically 6-8 years), longevity is a factor, and again, I'll take the manufactuer's testing results and choose an oil that meets their specs.

Industrial Engineering Student
Senior, University of Massachusetts Amherst
How did you choose engineering?
"In high school I didn't really get interested in technology right away. I was pretty decent at math and science, but I also liked literature and things like that. I did better on my AP test in English than in either the math and science tests, which is ironic. But I REALLY like roller coasters and I was looking online at different things that people could do to work with them. That's how I came upon industrial engineering."
What's your favorite thing about being an engineering student?
"Engineering is really just a way of thinking about things. And when you go out in the real world after class, you see things differently. It's really cool to know what goes on behind the scenes in your everyday life. Engineers shape the world that everybody else lives in. They don't just live other peoples' ideas. And to be a part of that creation, to me, is just awesome. Also, engineering implies a certain caliber of person—people will automatically have a certain respect for you."
Are you doing any co-ops or internships?
"I'm doing a six-month co-op as an industrial engineer at Walt Disney World, learning how Disney forecasts their staffing needs throughout the company by using mathematical models in different software. I'm absolutely blown away by how amazing it is. I'm extremely excited because I became an engineering student so that I could work in the amusement industry, and this co-op is opening doors to that goal."
Aside from classes, what activities during your high school years prepared you for engineering?
"I used to teach CCD [Catholic religious instruction] in my church, which helped my leadership skills. In engineering, you need to be part of a team, but you also need to be able to lead groups of people. A lot of companies hire engineers as managers now because of their technical background. And if you have that leadership ability within you, then that will definitely increase your chances."
Any advice for high school students?
"Explore every type of opportunity you have. Take a look at what pleases you in your classes. And talk to people about what's out there, because then you'll get the information and you can really decide what it is that makes you happy!"

Reddit User Confesses to Murder Via Meme
A Reddit user has been reported to the FBI for homicide by Redditors after confessing to the murder of his sister's "meth addict" boyfriend online, using the popular 'confession bear' meme. Whether the confession was true remains unclear.
The image of the ashamed and defeated-looking baby black bear was given the caption: "My sister had an abusive meth-addict boyfriend. I killed him with his own drugs while he was unconscious and they ruled it as an overdose." The picture sparked an ethical debate, and eventually led to the FBI being contacted.

State Drops Defense of Outdated Law
The state of Hawaii will no longer defend the old law that defined marriage as only between a man and a woman. Hawaii Attorney General David Louie issued a statement, saying that since Hawaii changed the law last year to ensure marriage equality for same-sex couples, there are no longer grounds to defend the previous law. He says the state will stop defending the case of Jackson versus Abercrombie in federal court because of the new marriage law that allows same-sex couples to wed.

Wolfgang Van Halen: New Van Halen album is possible
Listen to Van Halen on iHeartRadio
Van Halen's Wolfgang Van Halen says another album isn't out of the question.
Frontman David Lee Roth recently admitted that the group's 2012 release, A Different Kind of Truth, featured songs that actually pre-dated the band's debut album, and Wolfgang tells Billboard.com they haven't depleted their archives. He explains that the group has "plenty of other ideas laying around" - not all of which are 40 years old.
Wolfgang says they also have "some new stuff" that they've been working on, and adds that "you never know what'll happen." He also says he's proud of A Different Kind of Truth, as well as his contributions to the disc. Van Halen recalls that he dug up those older demos that helped put Roth, Alex Van Halen, and his dad Eddie Van Halen "into the mindspace" they had when they wrote such classics as "Runnin' With The Devil" and "Dance the Night Away."
But even if Van Halen doesn't come together to make a new record, the band will be performing this year. The group will play a festival date in Australia next month and go on their rescheduled Japanese tour in June. In addition, they're on board to headline the Rock USA festival in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on July 20th.
And Wolfie should have more opportunities to work in the studio, since he's officially become a full-time member of Mark Tremonti's band as well.

i just loged onto my blog and some one posted the title as a blast message!
I personally would say it was Admiral friends (which is most of the people here and especially some of the Bhikkhus, as well as those who publish and distribute teachings of monks such as Ajahn Chah, Ajahn Boowa, and a few others ) but this is because an admirable frien will help in discernment, and encouragment to progress on the path, as well as being an example in order to develop and keep faith on the path, of the path Although I should say admirable friends should not be relied upon for these to develop, but rather as a resourse when things are hard going!
but I am sort of curious what others think the first spiritual power is.

The upper crust of 100 years ago enjoyed the good life that few people in those days could even imagine. The horse and buggy was on the way out, but the wealthy of the day not only had automobiles but made sure those motorized horseless carriages showcased their standing in life. The chassis itself cost $7,000 compared to the "commoner car" price of $400 for the Model T of the time. Customization could easily double the price tag of the Simplex.
Such is the case with the 1917 Simplex Crane Model 5. It featured all the amenities and convenience items one might expect in a car costing 10 to 15 times the average American's annual salary. It was state of the art for its day, with its leaf spring suspension, one at each wheel that provided a level of comfort that was so smooth that passengers could drink their tea – pinkies properly extended, of course – even on the most rutted roads of the day.
"To those who demand the utmost in smoothness flexibility and luxurious comfort, this car is dedicated," read a Simplex Automobile Co. advertisement at the time as a way to challenge the market dominance of the better known Duesenberg automobiles.
The model at America's Car Museum was owned by John D. Rockefeller Sr. and was given to him by his son on his birthday. The model was given special attention by the company since the high-profile customer was, well, rich. "Mr. R is making birthday gift of car to his father and request us to endeavor to have it completed for delivery July 8," the order stated. "Do our best."
And they did. The car remained in the family for 20 years,before it was donated to the Boston Museum of Automotive Conveyance. Harold E. LeMay bought the car in 1995 and later donated it to the LeMay Museum. The car is only one of two Crane Simplex cars owned by Rockefeller known to still exist. Models without ties to notable owners top $200,000.

As she prepares for opening night Feb. 19, Mamet talks to Janice Kaplan about selfishness, awkward sex and her famous father.
Mamet again: Our current societal (as opposed to cultural) development is burdened by the presence of 'Good Ideas.'
The real Mamet is an actor who became a writer and had a real sense of the criminal and the sleight of hand in American life.

I'll scroll instead to the previous paragraphs—and to Mamet's fierce hostility to the study of art and literature.
But theater and political theater are not the same, and Mamet mistakes his own contribution.
These are not points that Mamet sets out to prove, mind you.
Mamet is very much the product of the Hollywood conservative subculture—embattled, militant, and defiant.
Mamet: Now we see the Liberal Young [caps in originals - a weakness of his] not flocking but stampeding into film schools.

Philadelphia Eagles player apologizing for racial slurs at Chesney concert
Listen to Kenny Chesney on iHeartRadio
One of Kenny Chesney's special guests at his Philadelphia concert last month is apologizing for his offensive off-stage language. Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper tweeted Wednesday that he's "so ashamed and disgusted" with himself, admitting that he has "been offensive" and wants "to apologize" to his coach, teammates, and fans along with the community in general.
He adds that what he did "was wrong" and "there are no excuses," and that he'll "accept the consequences" of his actions.
I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself. I want to apologize. I have been offensive. I have apologized to my coach, Jeffrey Lurie, and— Riley Cooper (@RileyCooper_14) July 31, 2013
Howie roseman and to my teammates. I owe an apology to the fans and to this community. I am so ashamed, but there are no excuses. What I did— Riley Cooper (@RileyCooper_14) July 31, 2013
Was wrong and I will accept the consequences.— Riley Cooper (@RileyCooper_14) July 31, 2013
The Philadelphia sports blog "Crossing Broad" has unveiled off-stage video of Cooper using the N-word as he threatened to "fight" every African-American person at the Chesney concert, while another clip shows him getting into a parking lot dispute after the show.
Cooper had performed with Kenny at the event, which "USA Today" says was a concert highlight. The country superstar welcomed Cooper as well as Eagles coach Chip Kelly and center Jason Kelce to join him in singing his ode to football, "Boys Of Fall." Chesney has not commented on the matter.

What would happen if you were visited by your younger self, and got a chance for a do-over? Alice Love is 29 years old, madly in love with her husband, and pregnant with their first child. So imagine her surprise when, after a fall, she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! she HATES the gym!) and discovers that she's actually 39, has three children, and is in the midst of an acrimonious divorce. A knock on the head has misplaced 10 years of her life, and Alice isn't sure she likes who she's become. It turns out, though, that forgetting might be the most memorable thing that has ever happened to Alice.

"Unforgettable! I loved this story!"
I loved this story! We got the view point from three different people: Alice, her sister and Frannie. I think it was just creatively done and it was a multidimensional story with the three viewpoints and you not only got to know Alice through their eyes, you got to know the other two and what they've gone through in the present and in the past.
One negative of the audiobook version which could be overlooked because the story was just beautiful. I didn't love the narrator unfortunately. In fact, in the beginning, I didn't really realize when Alice's viewpoint switched to her sister's viewpoint....the narrator had the same exact voice and tone for both of them.
Sure, I'd love to hear your story....
"The great do-over!"
This book made me squirm uncomfortably and put it down occasionally just so I could do a little soul searching. This story is so cleverly told through hindsight and foresight and answers that universal question: if I could go back would I make the same decisions? It brilliantly points out that the obvious choice, the easy choice and the smart choice while easily discernable from the outside, on the inside, with circumstances and issues nagging at you - - the choices are much more difficult. And while the characters and narrators are Australian, the circumstances are universal. I *think* this might be more appealing if you have a few years under your belt, but I sure as heck would have loved to have read it 10-years ago!
Loved it.
I read The Husbands Secret ...after it being reviewed in People Magazine. I loved it and then came to look for her other books. I didn't love the concept of this book when I read the preview...but, I really loved it. Loved it as much as The Husbands Secret. So, much so I immediately downloaded the next one, The Hypnotist.
It was a very thought prevoking book... great story...interesting concept. Loved the characters, the humor, the emotion. Highly recommend!
"Clever and Fresh, but Painful"
This book gave me pause. It made me stop and think about spouses taking each other for granted in the day to day and the long term effect that can have on a marriage. Am I guilty? Though the plot for What Alice Forgot is highly unlikely, Moriarty weaves the tale convincingly and left me tearful in several places. It is painful (but well done) following Alice post injury as she discovers that her marriage has fallen apart, yet she is in the happy mindset of her marriage from 10 years prior. Clever and fresh, What Alice Forgot is a satisfying, well written book.
"had a bit of a problem with the performance"
After listening to quite a number of brilliant narrators that are able to make the different characters sound so different that you "recognize their voices" I struggled with Tamara Lovatt-Smith's performance. Without barely a break, the narration switches between Alice, her sister and her granny, but her voice is exactly the same! It always took me about 2 sentences before I caught on that the scene had changed. The seamless change of perspective without a clue but the words themselves really irritated me for a great part of the book.
Also although the narrator herself is of Australian origin, I didn't hear that. She sounded almost British to me and didn't suit the story in my eyes.
Sorry, but I don't understand why the performance got such high marks.
The story itself was quite enjoyable and saved the audiobook for me.
Dept Q, Harry Hole... where are you?
"Philosophical and still fun!"
On several occasions my wife has asked me, "where do you see yourself and us in the next ten years?" But never once have either of us dared to wonder if our younger selves would be disappointed or pleased having viewed our lives ten years hence. So with that said its fair to say again that this book got me thinking...
Liane Moriarity' genius of creating charismatic characters, remarkable dialogue and mysterious situations doesn't overshadow the fact she is one of the centuries best persons of letters. Her works are as deep as they are entertaining.
So this book captured my imagination from the first chapter and held it throughout its entire length. It challenged me, encouraged me, thrilled me, all while keeping a warm smile on my face.
"different and interesting"
Read The Husband's Secret by this author first and enjoyed the author's style and humor so much, I am working my way backwards with her previously published novels. I enjoyed this very much as well. It makes one reflect on what they would do in a similar situation and I thought the overall story was different. Being a little picky on the narration, I am thinking that the narrator didn't change her voice enough for the different characters, but overall her voice was cute and pleasant.
Addicted to Audible!
"Love, love, love this book!"
Liane Moriarty is my new favorite author. After listening to, The Husbands Secret, I decided to try another of her books and I enjoyed this one even more. The concept of waking up and thinking you are 10 yrs younger was fascinating to me. It made me examine my own life and think about what my 10 or 20 or 30 yrs. younger self would think of me now. I like the way the author builds suspense and keeps us guessing. She is great at building realistic characters and tells the story from many viewpoints. It's also interesting how one of the main characters is deceased. The narration was great. I highly recommend this book and my book club is reading it this month, so far the reviews are great!
"Favorite listen so far this year!"
I loved What Alice Forgot. This was really a story about someone finding herself again, but played out in a completely unique way. I have been recommending this book to everyone. Get it - you won't be disappointed!
"A good "read" - didn't want it to end"
This one reeled me in completely. I only listen during exercise and couldn't wait to exercise (for a change!). I loved how the story unfolded, little by little, changing perspectives. Also loved how it made me think about how relationships change, little by little, over the years, and how much we take for granted.

The Impact of the Credit Crisis on GSA's Capital Program
Good morning, Madam Chair, Ranking Member Graves, and Members of the Subcommittee. My name is David L. Winstead and I am the Commissioner of Public Buildings at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). Thank you for inviting me here today to discuss the impact of the tightening of the credit markets on GSA's capital program.
New Construction and Modernizations
Because they are funded through appropriations, our new construction, modernization, and repair and alteration programs are not directly affected by any decreases in the availability of credit generally. GSA pays contractors and subcontractors for these projects periodically for work completed; they typically do not need to obtain third-party financing to complete these segments.
Nationally, GSA is noticing some impact of the credit crunch on its leasing program. We asked each of GSA's regional offices whether GSA offerors were experiencing difficulty obtaining financing for GSA lease projects. Generally, the responses from the GSA regions suggest that successful GSA offerors are obtaining financing on more costly terms in comparison to previous years. More costly leasing terms, of course, generally result in higher rental rates for the Government. However, financing for Government deals (where leases are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States) has always been lower than that for more risky ventures. Therefore, when credit becomes more expensive or difficult to obtain, lessors of Government-leased buildings have typically obtained financing more easily and on less costly terms than other borrowers.
In a few instances, successful GSA offerors have been unable to obtain lease project financing and, as a result, have not been able to proceed with lease construction projects. Offerors have attributed this problem to the tighter credit market. For example, in 2005, GSA initiated a lease construction project for the FBI for up to 266,200 rentable square feet of space with 271 parking spaces in Detroit, Michigan. In May 2006, GSA finalized negotiations for a no-cost assignable option for a 10.2 acre site at 1200 6th Street in downtown Detroit, then used a two-phase, best-value source selection process to select a development team. We awarded the lease to a developer in February 2007. In October 2007, the developer indicated that, as a result of the tight credit market and the post-award addition of work to the project by the City of Detroit, it could not secure financing for the project at a rate that would support its expected returns and asked to withdraw. GSA and the developer completed a no-cost settlement agreement and GSA rescinded the contract in February 2008. While such an occurrence is not widespread for GSA, these projects are not going unnoticed.
Here testifying with us today is Jones Lang LaSalle, one of our national brokers. They will be able to tell you about the state of the real estate investment market generally.
As you may know, GSA uses credit tenant leases (CTL) in some of its larger lease transactions in order to gain better lease rates through the most effective financing available. The CTL has been used with varying degrees of success in several GSA regions. Following a U.S. Government Accountability Office report encouraging GSA to adopt a more businesslike leasing approach, GSA modified its General Clauses in the CTL to enable better lessor financing for large transactions. Using the CTL, successful offerors may be able to obtain higher loan amounts, at lower interest rates. Under the CTL, once the leased space is delivered according to the lease requirements, the Government compromises on some of its termination and set off rights against the debt-servicing portion of the rental payments in order to allow an uninterrupted rental payment stream to service the lessor's debt. The Government retains its rights to enforce the lessor's service obligations. In order to ensure that we are obtaining the value of these lease modifications, we encourage our regions to request pricing on both our standard lease and our CTL so that we can see the savings.
Energy Savings Performance Contracts
Increasingly, we are relying on Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPC's) to accomplish energy saving capital improvements. Through an ESPC, an Energy Service Company (ESCO) conducts a comprehensive energy audit, identifies improvements that will save energy at the facility, and arranges financing to pay for them. The ESCO guarantees that the improvements will generate savings sufficient to pay for the project over the term of the contract. We estimate that our potential for ESPC and Utility Energy Services Contract use in FY2009 is approximately $20 to 24 million. However, small and medium-sized ESCO's, who rely on bank or investor financing to fund ESPC's and do not have extensive track records, may find it increasingly difficult to obtain financing in this environment. ESPC financing is not traditional in that it is not asset-based; rather, it is backed by guaranteed energy savings resulting from the improvements. As a result, GSA and federal agencies generally may have to rely on larger ESCO's to perform ESPC contracts. This may affect other federal agencies more than GSA, since GSA's buildings tend to be large and therefore we tend to contract with larger ESCO's already.
Retail Leasing
Retail leasing amenities are an important consideration on several of our federal campuses - in particular, the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center and the 8,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space adjacent to the new Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) headquarters building. Banks have begun tightening standards for loans to small businesses. We understand that this is making it harder to gain funding for anything from buying equipment to hiring new workers. So far, however, this more restrictive credit environment has had no discernable impact on GSA's retail leasing activities. The Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center currently has full occupancy of all retail space. Three of the four retail tenants in the ATF headquarters building have signed sub-leases and negotiations are currently being conducted with the fourth retail space. One establishment has already opened for business. The remaining businesses are slightly behind schedule because they must wait for Washington Gas to provide service to the facility; however they are on schedule to open by the end of August.
The tightening of the credit markets potentially affects GSA in three areas: leasing, energy savings performance contracting, and retail leasing. So far, none of these areas has been significantly affected. Credit is available to our lessors at relatively favorable rates with the Federal government as a major tenant. Federal agencies generally may experience an increased reliance on larger ESCOs for ESPC contracts because the financing for these is unconventional, backed solely by a stream of expected energy savings rather than an assets. Although some of the small businesses to which we lease our retail areas may experience difficulty due to a tightening of credit, we have not experienced a high level of vacancies so far.
Madam Chair, Ranking Member Graves, this concludes my prepared statement. I will be pleased to answer any questions that you or any other Members of the Subcommittee may have on the impact of the credit crunch on our capital program, or on any other aspects of the Public Buildings Service.

Report: New Pink Floyd Album Arriving This Fall
Listen to Pink Floyd Radio on iHeartRadio
A collection of Pink Floyd material is reportedly on the way.
Billboard.com says word began surfacing about The Endless River on Sunday. It initially came up in a tweet from David Gilmour's wife, who said the material is "based on 1994 sessions." She added that it's the late Rick Wright's "swansong and very beautiful."
Btw Pink Floyd album out in October is called "The Endless River". Based on 1994 sessions is Rick Wright's swansong and very beautiful.
— Polly Samson (@PollySamson) July 5, 2014
Former Pink Floyd touring vocalist Durga McBroom-Hudson then commented on the tweet via Facebook. She explained that the recordings were originally for a side project, but Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason "have gone in and done a lot more since then." She adds a photo of her in the studio, which she says was taken last December.
A post from engineer Andy Jackson on the Pink Floyd fan site FloydianSlip.com, which has since been removed, is also said to confirm the release, while Gilmour's manager reportedly indicated that an official announcement about the album would come Monday.

Break out the bottle and some babies may start sucking away, while others may turn up their tiny nose at any nipple but yours. Before you take the plunge and introduce the bottle to your breastfed baby, test your knowledge on the following feeding factoids. The right answers could help make the transition go much more smoothly.
True or false: The key to success is introducing the bottle as soon as possible.
False. While sooner is better than later, starting too soon can spell trouble for moms who want to continue nursing. A good rule of thumb: Begin the bottle no earlier than three weeks of age — and preferably five. Why? Because suckling from an artificial nipple is a whole lot easier than drawing milk from the real thing, so premature bottle-feeding can mess with the successful establishment of nursing. (But don't wait too long: Babies who are exclusively attached to food from the boob may — loudly — reject any other.)
True or false: Your baby will adapt more quickly to the bottle if you fill it with breast milk rather than formula.
True. As always, breast is best, and that goes for flavor as well as nutrition. In other words, your baby may be much more willing to sip something that at least tastes like Mommy's milk, even if the vessel looks completely different.
True or false: It's important to give your baby a consistent amount of ounces at every bottle-feeding.
False. Moms who exclusively breastfeed don't know (and don't worry) about how many ounces baby gets at a time. So don't start playing the numbers game once bottles enter the mix. Like (most) grown-ups, babies will eat more when they're hungry and less when they're not (and bigger babies may eat much more than their smaller pals). The real test of whether your baby is getting enough to eat is how much he pees and poops and whether he's gaining weight appropriately. Forcing your baby to drink a certain number of ounces at every feeding isn't necessary. Remember, too (and remind your baby's caregiver), that consumption can vary enormously from feeding to feeding and from baby to baby.
True or false: Your best chance of getting your baby to take the bottle is to wait until he's really hungry.
False. Think how you feel when you're ravenous — probably not in the mood to try a whole new way of eating! The same goes for your baby; choose a time to introduce the bottle when he's hungry, but not starving, and in a good mood (read: not sleepy or cranky). You might have someone other than yourself (and your tempting breasts) offer the bottle, at least at first. Also, stock up on a couple different types of nipples, in case your choosy customer rejects the first; babies who use pacifiers will more easily accept a nipple that's similar in shape.

Hi. I have a question about unmounting an internal HD.
If I boot up with the cheat code "bt nohd", the system doesn't seem to see the HD at all. If you go into the GUI, there is no mounted HD.
If I don't use cheat code, I can unmount the HD from the command line using "umount". The GUI is still able to see the drive, though, (as an unmounted drive), and if I click on it it mounts it right back up again. Also, if I do a file search while the drive is unmounted, the search program brings back hits on the unmounted drive! It seem that, while unmounted, the drive is still accessable to the system.
Is there a way from the command line to totally and completely unmount the internal hard drive/make it unaccessable by the system (akin to what is done with the "bt nohd" cheat code, just from the command line)?
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

It's always a mistake to underestimate Rowland Hall's Aaron Friedman.
While not overpowering in size or stature, the sophomore has the ability to dominate at the service line and in the volley. Friedman downed Waterford rival, Christian Heath, 6-0, 6-2, by playing bigger-than-himself during last Saturday's Class 2A state meet at Liberty Park.
In earning the No. 3 singles title, Friedman secured a share the 2A state championship for the Winged Lions. Rowland Hall finished with 17 team points to tie Waterford for the state title.
Teammates senior Jon Zubair and junior Karim Shaaban credit Friedman for playing solid throughout the season. Zubair said that Friedman brings a level of confidence to the court reserved for older players.
"A lot of players underestimate him because of his size," Zubair said. "But it never fazes him. He'll do whatever it takes to beat you."
Zubair and Shaabam, who went undefeated in regional play, handled their business at No. 1 doubles by beating Waterford's George Matus and Max Gruber. With the stands packed, they battled through the heat and missed opportunities, rallying for a 6-7, 6-1, 6-1 victory in the title match.
"We were kinda nervous because we knew it was going to be a tough match," Shaaban said. "It was our third time playing them, and we were expecting a good fight."
Zubair said that he didn't feel pressure entering the tournament after falling short to Manti last season. Even with all of the quality teams in the 2A tournament, Zubair remained focused on playing fundamental tennis and trusting his partner.
"Karim is such a good hitter that I trusted him to make the plays," Zubair said. "It was nice going in without a target on our backs."
With friends and family cheering the pair for every earned point, Shaaban said it helped alleviate any fatigue he felt while battling the opposition and the heat.
"I was so pumped in the finals," Shaaban said. "Even though it was hot, we had so much support from our fans. It felt great to the ride that momentum to a championship."
• Zubair earned a full academic scholarship to the University of Utah and plans to study mechanical engineering.
• Zubair and Shaaban have playing tennis for eight years but only been partners this season.

Several times recently, I've said or written my prediction that traditional printed books will continue to be our focus for the remainder of my library career. If that prediction is going to be true, it's a good thing I'm nearer the end of my career than the beginning!
It seems almost every publication I read lately, has an article about e-books. Amazon has announced sales of digital books increased 207% in the first five months of the year and it sells more books for its Kindle e-reader than it does traditional hardcover volumes. Last month they sold nearly twice as many Kindle books as hardcover ones.
Barnes & Noble reports physical books, as opposed to digital ones, will be the majority of its sales for the next five years but their future is bright with the Nook, their e-reader. Publishers still depend on bookstores to display their books and promote authors and they are a destination to test new products. They see a market for both.
Other publications report that authors are now bypassing publishers and posting older works or unpublished works directly on Amazon in exchange for 70% of the sales price. Many authors are reportedly earning more from such e-book sales than from hardcover sales, consistent with Amazon's overall sales direction.
Of course this all has implications for libraries. Some are proposing inviting authors to share their works directly with libraries in digital format with libraries paying for each transaction. Some suggest a central depository for libraries to draw on and pay per download. All agree such an approach would require a coordinated effort – no individual library could accomplish this to any significant degree on its own.
I still stand by my prediction that traditional printed books will dominate during the remainder of my library career but I certainly see the shift to digital books and their advantages. That shift to a major focus on digital with printed books as almost an aside, could well happen during the career of our younger librarians.
Although we do have e-readers and e-books to check out, traditional printed books are still our mainstay and will be for some time.
Come visit soon; check out a traditional printed book OR an e-book!

Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff started a little competition between his two goaltenders early last month. He told Martin Biron and rookie Ryan Miller that the only way to ensure consecutive starts was by posting a shutout. The initial results, three shutouts in four games, were impressive.

|[guys]A tiny box for my boyfriend got delivered to our apartment. The box said "Chubbies" and "radical shorts for men" and I thought, there is no way a man's shorts are in this box. Turns out there were TWO pairs of shorts in there. And they're actually awesome. They're shorter than most but really stylish. The company itself has a cool personality, they are worth checking out. My favorite are the American Flag shorts, calld 'Mericas.

Trinity Mid-Whitgiftian completed their dramatic turnaround in fortunes as they clinched Surrey Championship Division Three promotion ahead of Addiscombe on Saturday, writes Hamish Mackay.
The pair met at Lime Meadow Avenue and Mids, who were facing a relegation battle a month ago, completed their redemption with a 19-run victory and what had seemed an unlikely promotion.
In the process they denied Addiscombe, who had been around the top two all season, a third successive promotion by just three points.
Despite the unlikeliness of their rise to the top, captain Richard Nowell asserted promotion had always been the target.
"We aimed for promotion at the beginning of the season, we knew we had the players but the league is very close," he said.
"We lost our way a bit mid-season but just when things were looking bad our win against Old Rutlishians changed our mentality.
"Other results went our way that weekend and suddenly we realised that with a bit of luck we could climb the table.
"A lot of the teams in the League are very similar, ultimately it comes down to your desire to win and our lads had that in abundance."
After a well earned winter break, Mids will have to contemplate life in a tougher league, in which Nowell feels they can cope.
"We have an excellent combination of experienced players and younger lads coming into the team who are more than capable of doing the job," he said.
"It's especially nice to see the younger generation coming through, we've invested in training facilities and it's good to see it paying off."
Elsewhere, Old Whitgiftians and Purley ended their Division One seasons in dramatic fashions.
Old Whit were set a mammoth target of 338 by Malden Wanderers, who hit that in just 37 overs, and had a good go but ended 13 runs short on 325-9.
Purley on the other hand were bowled out for just 45 by East Molesey, with extras their highest score with 14.
Chipstead, Coulsdon & Walcountians missed out on promotion in Division Four by six points and Warlingham ended bottom of Division Five with just 15 points.

On Tuesday, the local chapter of the American Society of Engineers gave Washington bridges a gentleman's C-.
So much for grade inflation and gentlemen.
Thursday's collapse of the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River was a disaster that could have become a tragedy. The dislocation, economic and otherwise, will last for months.
The accident is a galvanizing event that changes the dynamic in Olympia. Priority one is passing a comprehensive transportation package that takes care of existing public assets and finishes what we've started. It must happen in 2013.
"Whenever politicians make decisions about spending, shiny new projects always seem to trump the old, taking-care-of-business kind of work," former Washington DOT Secretary Doug MacDonald wrote in Crosscut earlier this month.
Policymakers understand this intuitively, but it seems an intangible, a boring, have-to-eventually-maybe. You can't prove a negative until the negative happens. And it just happened in Skagit.
A diverse cross-section from the Washington State Labor Council to the business-centric Washington Roundtable, to Economic Alliance Snohomish County underscore the centrality of preserving what we have. Maintenance and operation, however unsexy, are foundational.
In its benchmarks for a better Washington, the Roundtable notes that more than a fifth of Washington bridges are "functionally obsolete." As The Herald's Diana Hefley and Bill Sheets report, 14 Snohomish County bridges are structurally deficient under National Bridge Inspection Standards. (Driving while holding your breath isn't a solution.)
"There are lots of details we don't know about the bridge collapse, but incidents like this highlight the need for safe, strong infrastructure," said Rep. Marko Liias, co-vice chair of the House Transportation Committee. "The revenue package in the Legislature now would fund an additional $911 million in ongoing preservation and maintenance work, in addition to contributing to the replacement of deficient bridges over Lake Washington and the Columbia River."
Sensible conservatives such as Sens. Kirk Pearson and Barbara Bailey are encouraged to heed the transpo call. For Bailey, access has been curbed to Whidbey Island and other parts of her district. Over the summer and fall, the economic fallout could be severe.
"Debates about 'how' to raise revenue are relevant. But raise revenue we must if we are to bring our infrastructure up to 21st century standards to sustain a robust Washington economy and safe roads to travel on," said Rep. Luis Moscoso, who, like Liias, is a co-vice chair of the transportation committee.
Moscoso is right. Thursday's catastrophe was the canary in the river, a harbinger of headaches to come. Lawmakers need to do the responsible thing and pass a transportation package pronto.

The Wizard of OSCON – Day 1
OSCON had been going on since Monday, however the exhibition hall opens for just two days — Wednesday and Thursday — of this week.
So when the doors opened at 10 a.m., a significant number of people filed into the hall — which could stand to be a tad cooler (as I hope it will be tomorrow) — and it was showtime.
The Fedora booth was adequately staffed — Karsten Wade, Robyn Bergeron and Kevin Higgins set up the booth the day before, and were in attendance Wednesday — as well as Tom "Spot" Calloway and John Poelstra. Mirano Cafiero, Malakai Wade and Saskia Wade filled out the staff for the day.
Last year, OSCON was held in San Jose, however Portland is a great city and it's fine that the moved it back up here despite the fact that it would have been a lot more convenient for me if it were just "over the hill," as we say in Santa Cruz County. The weather is great here, and being downtown has the advantage of the free train service between the Courtyard Marriott and the venue at the Portland Convention Center, which all cities should have.
It was great to see old friends and meet those I've spoken to over time but never met. Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier and I are now even: At SCALE 7X, I accidentally — I swear — made a mess at the OpenSUSE booth on his watch. Today, Zonker knocked over our tripod — an accident, I'm sure — settled the score. It was great to see Ilan Rabinovitch, my SCALE colleague; birthday girl and Linux Magazine associate publisher Rikki Kite; the Oregon State University gang — Jeff Sheltren of the OSU Open Source Lab, computer science professor Carlos Jensen and the OSU OSL's Lance Albertson (Go Beavers!); David Kaplan, a mainstay in the Portland Linux scene (who lent his Linux expertise to a visitor at the booth — Thanks, Dave); and finally to meet Linux columnist par excellence Steven Vaughan-Nichols in person after corresponding with him for years.
Traffic for a better part of the day was heavy — always a good sign regarding the health of FOSS in general. SWAG — Stuff We All Get, for those keeping acronym score at home — was flying out of the booth. We'll have to see if we can get through tomorrow with what we have left.
One thing about standing in the booth all day: While I live for working the booth and events like OSCON, more times than not, I end up walking like Fred Sanford at the end of the day. Call it a sign of age.
More tomorrow.

text: What happens when you marry someone who has a really long criminal record and a known temper just two months after meeting them? Well, if you are US Women's Soccer Team goalie Hope Solo you get beaten by the man on the day before you were supposed to get married to him. Hope was scheduled to marry former NFL player, Jerammy Stevens yesterday, but at a party Monday night, Jerammy was arrested by police in Kirkland, WA after the couple got into a fight over where they would live after they were married. When officers arrived at the house, the found Hope with a cut, and Jerammy hiding behind a bed with blood stains on his shirt. Jerammy once had a very promising career in the NFL but destroyed it with his lack of effort and constant off the field problems. His last chance cam with Tampa Bay, but he was cut after being arrested for pot. He has also been arrested for reckless driving after crashing his car into a nursing home. I'm sure it is true love though and Hope even said in court yesterday that police were mistaken and that the blood and her cut must have come from somewhere else. Uh huh.

I just found out that there is an Aoen MOD skin> Where do I find it since this skin is able to ADD custom menu items.
Or is there still a way to Create a YouTube shortcut on the Home screen with the Default Aoen Add-on skin currently available.

Placement of tension-free vaginal tape is surgery to help control stress urinary incontinence. This is urine leakage that happens when you laugh, cough, sneeze, lift things, or exercise. The surgery helps close your urethra and bladder neck. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside. The bladder neck is the part of the bladder that connects to the urethra.
TVT; Urethral suspension
You have either general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia before the surgery starts.
A catheter (tube) is placed in your bladder to drain urine from your bladder
A small surgical cut (incision) is made inside your vagina. Two small cuts are made in your belly just above the pubic hair line.
A special manmade (synthetic) tape is passed through the cut inside the vagina. The tape is then positioned under your urethra. One end of the tape is passed through one of the belly incisions. The other end of the tape is passed through the other belly incision.
The doctor then adjusts the tightness (tension) of the tape just enough to support your urethra. This amount of support is why the surgery is called tension-free. If you do not receive general anesthesia, you may be asked to cough. This is to check the tension of the tape.
After the tension is adjusted, the ends of the tape are cut level with the skin at the incisions. The incisions are closed. As you heal, scar tissue that forms at the incisions will hold the tape ends in place so that your urethra supported.
The surgery takes about 2 hours.
Tension-free vaginal tape is placed to treat stress incontinence.
Before discussing surgery, your doctor will have you try bladder retraining, Kegel exercises, medicines, or other options. If you tried these and are still having problems with urine leakage, surgery may be your best option.
Risks of any surgery are:
Risks of this surgery are:
Tell your doctor or nurse what medicines you are taking. These include medicines, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription.
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
You will be taken to a recovery room. The nurses will ask you to cough and take deep breaths to help clear your lungs. You will have a catheter in your bladder. This will be removed when you are able to empty your bladder on your own.
You may have gauze packing in the vagina after surgery to help stop bleeding. It is usually removed a few hours after surgery.
You may go home on the same day if there are no problems.
Follow instructions about how to care for yourself after you go home. Keep all follow-up appointments.
Urinary leakage decreases for most women who have this procedure. But you may still have some leakage. This may be because other problems are causing your incontinence. Over time, some or all of the leakage may come back.

By Mike Baker Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee gave final approval Monday to one of the largest land purchases in state history as officials expand efforts to protect water supplies in Yakima River Basin.
Inslee signed a new capital budget that dedicates about $100 million to purchase some 50,000 acres in upper Kittitas County. The Democrat said the purchase helps preserve land while providing critical support to the economy in the region.
"This is an investment that improves irrigation supplies in the decades to come, which is extremely important to the agricultural economy of central Washington," Inslee said.
The $3.6 billion capital budget signed by Inslee also includes money for education projects, including $30 million for a clean technology laboratory at Washington State University. It also allocates funding to a variety of other water improvement and clean-up projects around the state.
"The fundamental principle of the bill is built on the idea that our economy and environment can grow together and both can thrive as we grow the economy out of this recession," Inslee said.
Officials believe the state budget for capital projects will help create 30,000 to 40,000 jobs.
The budget also pays to improve camera systems within the state's prisons. Lawmakers said that was partially in response to the 2011 strangling death of prison guard Jayme Biendl, who was killed in a prison chapel.
The capital budget had broad bipartisan support from lawmakers when they passed the spending plan on Saturday on the final day of the legislature session.

Serving Size: 6
Sauce Ingredients
1 medium onion – chopped
1 tablespoon garlic – minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 stalks celery – chopped finely
1 tablespoon dried fennel seeds – coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 14oz can diced tomato – with juice
2 8oz cans tomato sauce
Filling Ingredients
1 pack frozen spinach – thawed and well drained
1 tablespoon parsley – minced
2 tablespoons romano cheese
1/2 pound ricotta cheese
1/2 pound lasagna noodles (uncooked)
1/2 pound mozzarella cheese – grated
- Ricotta is much easier to spread if it is heated in a double boiler to soften. Be careful to stir it often.
- Lasagna needs to sit for at least 10 mins after cooking to 'set'. This is important, or it will slide all over the place.
Part 1 – Making the Sauce
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan and sauté onions, garlic and celery until the onions are translucent.
- Add the fennel seeds, dry basil and salt, and sauté for an additional minute.
- Add diced tomatoes with juice plus tomato sauce. Using a flame tamer to diffuse the flame (if you have a gas stove) and the lowest heat possible, simmer sauce for about 35-45 mins, stirring occasionally.
Part 2 – Making the Spinach/Ricotta Filling
- Squeeze or press liquid from spinach.
- Mix parsley and spinach and romano cheese with the ricotta.
Part 3 – Preparing for Lasagna Assembly and Baking
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Oil an ovenproof lasagna dish/pan and cover with a thin layer of sauce.
- Layer uncooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, then a layer of spinach-ricotta mixture and mozzarella followed by a layer of sauce.
- Continue layering in this way until there are at least 3-4 layers of noodles in each pan.
- Finish with noodles on the top, covered completely with sauce.
Part 4 – Baking the Lasagna
- Bake covered for 40-45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, remove the cover and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes or until the top browns lightly and the lasagna interior is hot. Note that baking time may vary depending on the number of pans in the oven, their oven positions and the lasagna thickness.
- Remove lasagna from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes prior to cutting so it will set.
