Wordsworth Donisthorpe
Wordsworth Donisthorpe (Leeds, 24 March 1847 – Shottermill, 30 January 1914)[1] was an English individualist anarchist[2] and inventor, pioneer of cinematography and chess enthusiast. His father was George E. Donisthorpe, also an inventor;[3] his brother, Horace Donisthorpe, was a myrmecologist.
In 1885 Donisthorpe was co-founder of the British Chess Association and the British Chess Club.[3]
Donisthorpe filed for a patent in 1876, for a film camera, which he named a "kinesigraph."[3] The object of the invention was to:
|facilitate the taking of a succession of photographic pictures at equal intervals of time, in order to record the changes taking place in or the movement of the object being photographed, and also by means of a succession of pictures so taken of any moving object to give to the eye a presentation of the object in continuous movement as it appeared when being photographed.[3][4]
Although unsuccessfully at first, in 1890 he produced, together with his cousin W. C. Crofts, a moving picture of London's Trafalgar Square.[5] In 1889 they already patented this camera, and the projector necessary to show the motion frames.[6]

JERUSALEM (Sep. 3)
Dr. J. L. Magnes, head of the Hebrew University and leader of the newly-formed political party "Ichud" which advocates closer contact with the Arabs and the formation of a bi-national Arab-Jewish state in Palestine, today announced that he has come to the conclusion that no agreement with Arab leaders is possible.
"After my meeting this week with Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, the noted leader of the Palestine Arabs, I see no possibility of an Arab-Jewish pact," Dr. Magnes said, addressing a public meeting arranged by the Ichud Party. "My negotiations with Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi proved fruitless," he added.
"The only way for a real agreement with the Arab people is direct contact between Jewish and Arab masses," Dr. Magnes continued. "Jews must establish common Arab-Jewish clubs and must increase their cultural activities and social work among the Arabs."
Participants at the meeting asked whether the Ichud Party accepts the British White Paper which imposes immigration and land restrictions upon Jews in Palestine. Dr. Magnes replied that he personally as well as all the other founders of the new party are strongly opposed to the White Paper.

Communities seek World Trade Center steel for memorials
ROCKLEDGE, Fla. - A 116-pound section of steel from the World Trade Center sits in a corner of the office of Tim Matson, Emergency Management Services Training Chief for the Rockledge Fire Department.
It's in the same box it arrived in from Hangar 17 of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York seven months ago. That is where it will stay until city officials design and build the pedestal and monument it will one day perch atop in a city park - hopefully, Matson says, by this year's 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"We want to put it someplace open where people can sit and reflect on what happened that day, and remember the public safety people that lost their lives," Matson says.
More than 1,100 communities, non-profits, military bases, airports, museums and other groups across the country have been granted a chunk of WTC steel, says Steve Coleman, spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
STORY: Post-9/11, a security blanket for a wounded nation
MORE: 9/11 families react to bin Laden's death
All proposals had to meet one key criterion: They had to be used in public displays, he said.
There is also a push to get the steel moved out of the hangar, Coleman says.
"We hope to have them all gone by Sept. 11," Coleman says. To date, about 40% of those have received their piece, he says.
The steel is free. But the organizations that want it have to pay for its transport costs, Coleman says. Pieces range in size from small enough to ship to big enough to require a flatbed truck. The largest is 43 feet long.
The Port Authority will ship any piece under 150 pounds, he said. Anything larger, you have to make your own arrangements. That's posed a challenge for some communities, he says.
"Some towns having a little difficulty getting transportation," Coleman says. "That's the one expense communities have to cover."
Last month, a pickup truck from the Napa Valley in California picked up its steel, he said.
Project 911 Indianapolis made an event out of transporting its two 22-foot-long internal support beams home on the back of a donated tractor-trailer rig, inviting motorcyclists to form an honor guard. The result: 11,000 bikers stretched out for miles in the rain along Interstate 70, says Indianapolis firefighter-paramedic Greg Hess, the project's organizer.
"I was teary-eyed," Hess says.
The two steel beams will stand alongside each other in the same configuration as Tower One and Two at Ground Zero on a downtown square along the White River Canal, next to Station 13 and several state buildings, he said.
"We couldn't have scripted a better location," he says.
Other communities have planned memorials less grand in scale.
Capt. Richard Bliven of the fire department in Lyndon, Ky., a suburb of Louisville, says the original plan was to erect a monument in its memorial garden at headquarters. But when they got the 2½-foot-long, 120-pound piece of I-beam encased in concrete flooring, he said, they decided to keep it encased in glass in the headquarters lobby instead.
"One thing we were concerned about is it had pieces of concrete attached to it," Blivens says. "We were afraid it would erode or come off or be picked off. We wanted to maintain it in the condition we received it in."
Several companies have looked at the piece and are working up estimates from which the department can choose, Blivens says.
"Once we get the estimates we will move forward with that, so it will absolutely be done by the 10th anniversary," he says.
One proposal came from the family of Christine Taylor Greene - the 9-year-old girl killed in the Jan. 8 rampage in Tucson that killed five others and wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The life of Taylor Greene, born on Sept. 11, 2001, was framed by two national tragedies. Her family wants to build a Steadfast Angel of Love in Tucson, said Leslie Shultz-Crist, president of San Miguel High School in Tucson.
"John and Roxanna, her parents, would be tremendously honored to have steel from the Port Authority incorporated in the Steadfast Angel," Shultz wrote in an e-mail to Port Authority officials.

The Times plays up Judge Samuel Alito's conservativism -- but ignored Ruth Bader Ginsberg's liberalism in 1993.
Tuesday's lead New York Times story on Bush's Supreme Court pick (by Elisabeth Bumiller and Carl Hulse) plays up Alito's ideology from the start, nothing the federal appeals court judge has a "conservative record on abortion." Later they note he is "solidly conservative" and has "bona fide conservative credentials" and the paper's front-page subhead emphasizes that he's "Hailed By Right."
By contrast, when President Bill Clinton nominated Ginsburg to the Supreme Court, Richard Berke's lead story in the June 15, 1993 edition didn't describe Ginsburg, a feminist and former ACLU lawyer, as liberal. Berke even let Clinton get away with saying (without rebuttal from Republicans or anyone else): "Ruth Bader Ginsburg cannot be called a liberal or conservative. She has proved herself too thoughtful for such labels."
The Times' personal profile of Bush's pick by Neil Lewis and Scott Shane takes a similar tone. The headline to the jump page notes Alito's "Clear Conservative Record" and the text describes him as "solidly conservative."
In another contrast, on June 15, 1993, the Times' profile of Ginsburg took Clinton's lead in positioning Ginsburg as a centrist: "Despite her long record as a champion of women's rights, Judge Ginsburg has occasionally disappointed some of her former allies in the liberal advocacy groups. In her 13 years on the appeals court, she has often gone out of her way to mediate between the court's warring liberal and conservative factions."
(On June 27 of that year, the paper ludicrously termed Ginsburg, a former director of the Women's Rights Project of the ACLU, as a centrist: "Balanced Jurist at Home in the Middle.")

The Gloucester man played in the 46-19 win against the Barbarians but misses the tour because of a shoulder injury.
Worcester flanker Horstmann said: "It's been a bit of a rush getting ready but I'm really looking forward to it.
"I've had to cancel a couple of holidays - one to Las Vegas with some mates and the other to Majorca with the girlfriend. We'll go when I get back."
Horstmanm's Worcester team-mate Shane Drahm has had to pull out of the squad with a knee injury, however.
The Australian-born fly-half will be replaced by former Newcastle fly-half Dave Walder, who has just been released by the Falcons despite being on the England bench for their last Six Nations match with Ireland.
"It is disappointing to lose Shane because he would have made a valuable contribution," said England Saxons head coach Jon Callard.
"But Dave is an experienced player who has played in two Churchill Cups (2003 and 2004) before."
Wasps wing Paul Sackey will join the squad in Toronto if he recovers from a toe injury.

Dell Canada: Panasonic Eneloop Charger & 12 Batteries Only $30 *BUMP!* (EXPIRED)
Dell Canada is having a huge 72-hour sale on right now and one of the best deals I found was on the Panasonic Eneloop charger kit with eight AA batteries and four AAA batteries. It is now selling for $29.99, with a regular price of $46.99, saving you a whopping $20 on this item.
Rechargeable batteries are notoriously expensive, mainly because they last so much longer than regular batteries. They are definitely a good investment, it is just the investing part that hurts at first. So, when deals like this come along with a charger and all these batteries, you really do need to jump at the opportunity.
I've read a bit about Eneloop and how the batteries last for a long time. People absolutely love Eneloop batteries! If you want to know why they are so good, read this article from the Wire Cutter, which explains why they are the best. As for price comparisons, I looked around and found a pack of four AAs at Amazon for $19.78 on sale (this price has increased from the time when I wrote this original post last year too!). You are only paying $5 more for eight extra batteries and a charger.
I'm sure we all have many devices for which we need rechargeable batteries, like television converters, kid's LeapPads, digital cameras and so much more.
As another perk, you'll get free shipping with any order from Dell.

The rafters and floorboards of the old church let out a great groan each time the hundreds in attendance stood up or sat down in accordance with Thursday's Catholic funeral mass for Helen Kalin Klanderud, who was remembered for her tireless energy serving the community and her devotion to her four children. She was 76 when she died on Oct. 3, following a stroke the day before.
Father John Hilton of St. Mary Church in Aspen, in his homily for Klanderud, a longtime parishioner, asked anyone in the standing-room-only crowd of nearly 400 to raise their hand if they had served with her on a board or worked with her on a community-benefiting initiative. Nearly every hand in the place went up. Hilton asked Klanderud's family, seated in the front, to look at the impact she had on the town.
"There are so many activities she's been involved with, so many good works she has done, so many foundings she has been a part of, and so many initiatives she was the driving force behind," Hilton said, mentioning the Aspen Counseling Center, the Aspen Homeless Shelter, Alpine Legal Services and The Right Door drug and alcohol counseling service, to name a few.
Klanderud also was mayor of Aspen from 2001-07, and was the first female Pitkin County commissioner from 1981-87. She was a social worker and attorney by trade.
But Klanderud's "greatest honor and privilege in life" was her four children, Hilton said: Erik Klanderud, the director of member services at the Aspen Chamber Resort Association; Kurt Klanderud of Castle Rock; Kaela Moontree of Port Orchard, Wash.; and Soren Klanderud of Aspen, who died in March.
At a reception after the mass in the ballroom at the Hotel Jerome, her children made brief remarks.
Kurt Klanderud noted his mother's strong, independent nature, and how she passed that on to her kids.
"She taught us not to be afraid, not to let anything hold us back, and the worst thing you could ever tell any one of us is that you can't do it, because if you ever wanted her to do something, that's all you had to say," he said.
Klanderud's passing was all the more sudden since she was out on the town, partaking in community functions and attending mass — where she took a final communion, according to Father Hilton — four days before her death.
Erik Klanderud said that his mother's passion was on display the morning before she had the stroke, as she was watching news coverage of the government shutdown.
"She was angry about the government shutdown and she talked to that TV and let 'em have it," Erik Klanderud said. " ... She was so intense but she had that fight in her."
In the packed Hotel Jerome ballroom, where the crowd makeup included community leaders from across the business and political spectrums, more than one person commented on the surreal nature of attending such a gathering without Klanderud being there too.
"I've probably been in this room 100 times — not one of those times without Helen being here," said former Aspen City Councilman Derek Johnson.
Added Aspen native Yasmine dePagter, "I keep looking around for Helen. I had a question I wanted to ask her."

CSUF News Service
Campus Climate: Looking at Faculty/Staff Diversity
Jan. 14, 2014
The third goal of CSUF's Strategic Plan is: Recruit and retain a high-quality and diverse faculty and staff.
In pursuit of that goal, Lori Gentles, vice president for human resources, diversity and inclusion, is leading a campus climate assessment that will determine how Cal State Fullerton is meeting its goal to "cultivate an environment that honors differences in various forms – race, ethnicity, gender, age, (dis)ability, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs and status within the University."
On Feb. 4, approximately 100 faculty and staff members will participate in focus groups designed to provide a picture of the "campus climate" for various constituent groups on campus. The results will be used to inform the development of questions for a campuswide survey to be distributed to the CSUF community this spring.
Below, Gentles offers some answers to commonly asked questions.
What do you mean by campus climate?
Campus climate refers to the current attitudes, behaviors, standards and practices of employees and students of an institution. The Campus Climate Study at CSUF is designed to assess the current attitudes, behaviors and standards of faculty, staff and administrators concerning the level of respect for individual needs, abilities and potential at the University. It's a way to take the temperature, if you will, of how closely our values are aligned with how we treat and work with one another.
Why are we doing this? Is it that important?
We believe it's very important. Assessing how members of our community experience Cal State Fullerton's social and academic climate will help us develop programs and policies that will increase inclusivity in areas that are shown to be problematic and enhance and replicate programs and policies in areas that are shown to be successfully meeting the needs of the community.
Research demonstrates that the personal and professional development of employees is impacted by campus climate. Not only that, but faculty and staff members who judge their campus climate more positively are more likely to feel personally supported. This, in turn, creates a welcoming environment for our students.
I haven't heard of these sorts of assessments. Are other campuses conducting this research?
Yes, many progressive campuses are conducting climate assessments because there are such positive benefits to faculty and staff, and this extends to students and the community at large. We all benefit from constructive participation in a diverse, multicultural world. It opens the doors to underserved students and creates a more welcoming environment. It also improves the working and learning environment on campus.
How will the assessment take place?
We're beginning the process by conducting focus groups with different members of our campus community. These participants have been nominated by the Diversity Action Plan Task Force composed of faculty, staff, administrators and students, and represent a wide cross section of faculty and staff to provide some qualitative insight. Once we have finished and analyzed these answers, we will proceed with a campuswide survey of all our faculty and staff members. The focus groups are NOT the survey. They are providing information about their experiences at Cal State Fullerton; they aren't speaking on behalf of any particular groups of people.
How will faculty/staff participate in the survey?
In March, you will receive information on how to access the survey. The survey can be completed online or with paper and pencil, and shouldn't take more than 20 to 25 minutes. Our goal is to have as much participation as possible. The greater the response, the more information we'll have as we proceed with our diversity action plan. We want everyone to be HEARD!
Will the survey be anonymous?
Yes. In fact, we're working with an outside consulting firm (Rankin & Associates) that has performed more than a hundred of these kinds of assessments. They will receive the data, analyze it and then provide us with a report. This information will inform our campus-specific diversity action plan.
Will the information be shared?
Over the next several months, we will share information with our internal audience and we hope to continue the process of fostering an environment where faculty and employees feel heard and respected. Based on what we discover, we can create a new culture and shape, rather than respond to, issues of equity, diversity and inclusivity.
Is there a committee overseeing the process? If so, who are the members?
Yes, the Diversity Action Plan Task Force is one of 11 task forces that are working campus-wide on different facets of the University's Strategic Plan and represents a cross section of the campus. Members of the Diversity Action Plan Task Force include:
Vice President and Leader:
Lori Gentles, vice president, human resources, diversity and inclusion
Senior Leadership Team:
José Cruz, provost and vice president, academic affairs
Harry Norman, associate vice president, international programs, and dean, University Extended Education
Emily Bonney, associate professor of liberal studies
David D. Bowman, interim dean, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Melba Castro, director, educational partnerships
Phenicia McCullough, chief of operations, human resources, diversity and inclusion
Joe Ferrer, facility use officer
Carlos Navarro, ASI chief administrative officer
Ex Officio:
Davida Hopkins-Parham, director of special projects, human resources, diversity and inclusion
Ad Hoc:
Ed Sullivan, assistant vice president, institutional research and analytical studies
Valerie Orleans, director of internal communications, strategic communications

I have used fat grafting for senior hands for 35 years. The results are cheaper and permanent than fillers. You can see before/after photos on our website. It shows 1 hand injected and the other not at 2 years to show how well this works!
Would You Recommend Radiesse for Senior Hands with Thin Skin?
Doctor Answers 12
Fat grafting for senior hands.
Hand rejuvenation with Fillers
The current choice in the US market would be between using your own fat and Radiesse. Although Radiesse is an easier, off the shelf filler you will have to keep injecting it to managing the effect. On the other hand, using your own fat while more expensive initially will fill and rejuvenate thin skin. Fat is rich in stem cells which will improve the skin texture in addition to hiding the hand tendons and veins.

Radiesse for senior hands
You might also like...
Radiesse for "Senior Hands"
Yes! Radiesse is a great option for "senior hands". I highly recommend you go to an experienced provider for these types of treatments. In my office, my Physician Assistants do a lot of these types of treatments with excellent results.
Dr. Grant Stevens

Radiesse for hands
Radiesse injection into the back of the hands works well and is very straightforward. The technique is different than for the face. For the hands, I inject a bolus of material and then massage it out. There is usually no bruising but occassional swelling will persist for a day or two. I'm not sure why someone would want to go through the extra pain, cost, and hassle of fat harvesting when Radiesse can be taken off the shelf with great and long-lasting results. Radiesse can also be diluted with lidocaine if there is any concern about getting lumpiness or visible product. My patients have been very pleased with Radiesse rejuvenation of the hands.
Radiesse for Hands
Radiesse works very well for senior hands with thin skin. However fat is far better because it will last a lot longer and is significantly less expensive. Whenever possible, I always prefer to use the patient's own tissue.
Radiesse for hands with thin skin
I routinely use Radiesse for injection of senior hands with thin skin and have had no problems. Immediately before injection, I mix lidocaine with the Radiesse which helps to make the product thinner for easier injection. This minimizes the chance of lumps from the injection.

There Are Several Options for Rejuvenating the Back of the Hand
Radiesse, Sculptra, the hyaluronic acid fillers, and autologous fat can all be successfully used to rejuvenate the back of the hand. The results are improved further when injections are combined with light-based therapies to reduce dyspigmentation and resurface the skin. My preference is to use Juvederm in the back of the hand, but any hyaluronic acid filler will work as well. I find it smooth and easier to use, especially in patients with thinner skin.

Radiesse in senior hands
Radiesse works quite well when injected under the skin in the back of the hands. It thickens the skin and hide the prominent tendons and veins. It massages out nicely and is not lumpy at all.
Would You Recommend Radiesse for Senior Hands with Thin Skin?
Yes either Radiesse or Sculptra will increase the soft tissue look of the hands. I actually prefer Sculptra as Radiesse is a bit thick and can appear lumpy in very thin skin.

Bush Administration has moved the goal posts on the length of the escalation. From General David Petraeus today:
The result has been progress in the security area, although it has, as you know, been uneven. …We are, in short, a long way from the goal line, but we do have the ball and we are driving down the field.
The surge was supposed to be temporary:
Secretary Gates Said the Surge Was to Be Temporary. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he doesn't know how long an increase in troop levels in Iraq will last. "It's viewed as a temporary surge, but I think no one has a really clear idea of how long that might be," Gates said at a news conference. [CNN Transcripts, 1/11/07]
Secretary Gates Said the Surge Was To Last a Matter of Months, Not 18 Months or Two Years. GATES: "I don't think anybody has a definite idea about how long the surge would last. I think for most of us in the — in our minds, we're thinking of it as a matter of months, not 18 months or two years. We clearly will know, as I indicated, I think, within a couple of months or so, whether this strategy is, in fact, beginning to bear fruit. It's going to take a while." [CNN Transcripts, 1/11/07]
… Now it could last 20 months:
General Petraeus Will Recommend that Decisions on Troop Withdrawals Wait Until March 2008. "The top American commander in Iraq, Gen. David H. Petraeus, has recommended that decisions on the contentious issue of reducing the main body of the American troops in Iraq be put off for six months, American officials said Sunday. General Petraeus, whose long-awaited testimony before Congress will begin Monday, has informed President Bush that troop cuts may begin in mid-December, with the withdrawal of one of the 20 American combat brigades in Iraq, about 4,000 troops. By August, the American force in Iraq would be down to 15 combat brigades, the force level before Mr. Bush's troop reinforcement plan." [New York Times, 9/10/07]
The goal of the surge was to provide breathing room for national reconciliation:
President Bush Said National Reconciliation Was Essential to Lasting Security and Stability in Iraq. "The strategy I announced in January is designed to seize the initiative and create those conditions. It's aimed at helping the Iraqis strengthen their government so that it can function even amid violence. It seeks to open space for Iraq's political leaders to advance the difficult process of national reconciliation, which is essential to lasting security and stability." [President Bush Press Conference, 7/12/07]
On the Surge, Petraeus Said its Objective Was to Provide Iraq's National Government Time to Reach a Reconciliation. "Whatever the approach, though, the objective will be to achieve sufficient security to provide the space and time for the Iraqi government to come to grips with the tough decisions its members must make to enable Iraq to move forward." [Senate Confirmation Hearing, 1/23/07]
Now the White House claims the surge is succeeding because of "bottom up" progress in Anbar:
President Bush Asserted that the Modest Improvement in Security Situation in Anbar Province Showed the Escalation was Working……. In his remarks to the troops on Monday, President Bush said, "In Anbar you're seeing firsthand the dramatic differences that can come when the Iraqis are more secure. In other words, you're seeing success. You see Sunnis who once fought side by side with Al Qaeda against coalition troops now fighting side by side with coalition troops against Al Qaeda. Anbar is a huge province. It was once written off as lost. It is now one of the safest places in Iraq. [Speech by President Bush to Troops, 9/3/07]
The Bush Administration has moved the goal post on when we would be able to assess the escalation. Results of the surge would be clear by early summer:
Secretary Gates Said We Would Know if the Surge Was Working Early On, Before All the Surge Troops Arrived in Iraq. "I want you to know that the timetable for the introduction of additional U.S. forces will provide ample opportunity early on, and before many of the additional U.S. troops arrive in Iraq, to evaluate the progress of this endeavor and whether the Iraqis are fulfilling their commitments to us." [Testimony of Secretary Gates to the Senate Armed Services Committee, 1/12/07]
Then in September:
Secretary Gates Said He Would Be Able to Evaluate If the Escalation Is Working in September. "Well, first of all, I think that it's very important to underscore that General Petraeus has said that he and Ambassador Crocker will make their evaluation of the situation and the surge in September, probably earlier rather than later in September. And that's the evaluation that the president and I and the chairman will be looking for. [Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, 5/9/07]
Then in November:
Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno Said It Would Take Until At Least November To Judge If Escalation Was Working. "Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, the No. 2 commander in Iraq, told Pentagon reporters that while he would provide the mid-September assessment of the new military strategy that Congress has required, it would take "at least until November" to judge with confidence whether the strategy was working." [New York Times, 7/20/07]
Now the Administration wants to wait until March to assess the surge:
General Petraeus Wanted to Wait Until March to Present Recommendations on Reducing Troops in Iraq "The precise timing of such reductions, which would leave about 130,000 troops in Iraq, could vary, depending on conditions in the country. But the general has also said that it is too soon to present recommendations on reducing American forces below that level because the situation in Iraq is in flux. He has suggested that he wait until March to outline proposals on that question." [New York Times, 9/10/07]
The Bush Administration has moved the goal posts on the security goals of the escalation. The escalation was focused on securing Baghdad:
President Bush Said New Strategy in Iraq Would Focus on Securing Baghdad. "The most urgent priority for success in Iraq is security, especially in Baghdad …So America will change our strategy to help the Iraqis carry out their campaign to put down sectarian violence and bring security to the people of Baghdad. This will require increasing American force levels. So I've committed more than 20,000 additional American troops to Iraq. The vast majority of them — five brigades — will be deployed to Baghdad." [President Bush Speech, 1/10/07]
Now the White House claims the surge is succeeding because of security gains in Anbar:
President Bush Asserted that the Modest Improvement in Security Situation in Anbar Province Showed the Escalation was Working. In his remarks to the troops in Anbar, President Bush said, "In Anbar you're seeing firsthand the dramatic differences that can come when the Iraqis are more secure. In other words, you're seeing success. You see Sunnis who once fought side by side with Al Qaeda against coalition troops now fighting side by side with coalition troops against Al Qaeda. Anbar is a huge province. It was once written off as lost. It is now one of the safest places in Iraq. [Speech by President Bush, 9/3/07]
The Bush Administration has moved the goal posts on holding Iraqis responsible for benchmarks: The Administration said it would hold Iraqis responsible for meeting benchmarks:
President Bush Announced U.S. Would Hold Iraqis Responsible for Meeting Benchmarks. "A successful strategy for Iraq goes beyond military operations. Ordinary Iraqi citizens must see that military operations are accompanied by visible improvements in their neighborhoods and communities. So America will hold the Iraqi government to the benchmarks it has announced." [President Bush Speech, 1/10/07]
But Ambassador Crocker said today progress could not be judged through benchmarks:
Ambassador Crocker Said Political Progress Are Not Measured by Benchmarks. "Some of the more promising political developments at the national level are neither measured in benchmarks nor visible to those far from Baghdad." [Ambassador Crocker Testimony to House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, 9/10/07]
Lastly, the Bush Administration has moved the goal posts on measuring succes in Iraq. White House report found Iraqis had made satisfactory progress on less than half of benchnmarks:
White House Assessment Found Satisfactory Progress Towards Just 8 of 18 Benchmarks. "A widely anticipated White House report on Iraq, set for release today, argues that the Baghdad government has made "satisfactory" progress toward nearly half of the political and military goals sought by Congress, while acknowledging that an equal number remain "not satisfactory," an administration official said yesterday. The report, ordered by lawmakers as an interim assessment of President Bush's troop-increase strategy, identifies some positive movement in eight of the 18 congressional benchmarks, most of them related to military issues; finds insufficient improvement in eight others, mainly related to political reconciliation; and judges mixed results in the final two, the official said." [Washington Post, 7/12/07]
- GAO Found Iraqis Had Met Just 2 of the 9 Security Benchmarks. "Our analysis shows that the Iraqi government has met two of the nine security benchmarks." While the Iraqi government "has established political, communications, economic, and services committees in support of the Baghdad security plan and, with substantial coalition assistance, 32 of the planned 34 Joint Security Stations across Baghdad. Of the remaining 7 benchmarks, the Iraqi government partially met 2 and did not meet five." The five benchmarks met are, 1) Reducing the level of sectarian violence in Iraq and eliminating militia control of local security. 2) Providing Iraqi commanders with all authorities to execute this plan and to make tactical and operational decisions, in consultation with U.S. commanders, without political intervention, to include the authority to pursue all extremists, including Sunni insurgents and Shiite militias. 3) Ensuring that Iraqi security forces are providing even-handed enforcement of the law. 4) Increasing the number of Iraqi security forces' units capable of operating independently. 5) Ensuring that Iraq's political authorities are not undermining or making false accusations against members of the Iraqi security forces. [GAO Report: Securing, Stabilizing and Rebuilding Iraq, September 2007]
But General Petraeus said military objectives are being met based on declines in incidents in 8 of the last 12 weeks:
General Petraeus Said Military Objectives of the Surge Are Being Met. "As a bottom line up front, the military objectives of the surge are, in large measure, being met. In recent months, in the face of tough enemies and the brutal summer heat of Iraq, Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces have achieved progress in the security arena. Though the improvements have been uneven across Iraq, the overall number of security incidents in Iraq has declined in 8 of the past 12 weeks, with the numbers of incidents in the last two weeks at the lowest levels seen since June 2006." [General Petraeus Testimony to House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees, 9/10/07]

alternatively, you can have the header.html have the IMG tag point to a
script instead of a static image. the script, in turn, would server up
different images depending on when its called.
i've had a lot of success with this for netscape, but IE doesnt seem to
like that. i suppose you could put a "[works only with netscape
navigator]", but this might not be the best solution for you.
you could also have header.html regenerated every minute with a different
ad, but this might get a little dangerous on a highload site if the html
file is constantly being rewritten.
these might not be the best solutions, but they are alternatives.

In April 2004, there was a massive train crash in North Korea, which left loads of people dead and injured.
It took 10 hours for the first reports of the crash to reach the UK.
Even after that, North Korea did not make a statement confirming what had happened.
Local media reports didn't mention the crash.
The press in the country is tightly controlled by the government.
People have to ask permission to travel around. It's hard for people to visit the country too.
Many people are poor and don't have the use of telephones, e-mail and other equipment.
It means information cannot get out or in to the country, so many secrets are kept.

Did anybody that you wrote to respond to your horrible experiences? Just wondering how many people brought the BMW for that location. How could they stay in business if they are so rude?
Wow!!!! I'm just lost for words... Sorry to hear about incident....
You would expect better from a BMW dealership! Keep us updated Nadina...
Also... I wonder if Peter Pan BMW has something to say about this. I would love to hear their side of the story if they have one. Flow BMW did a pretty good job handling their bad press on Bimmerfest and I thought the exchange was pretty well balanced, allowing us to get to the bottom of what really happened. It is possible that Peter Pan doesn't have any defense, but again, I would welcome their side of the story.

Wow what a horrible car buying experience. Sorry to hear about your issues with the dealership! I've had the purchase of a new car (Mazda) marred by a poor delivery. Luckily, my frustration was countered by a very skillful GM who was able to recognize that his dealership did wrong and he made me a very happy buyer with an apology and some freebies.
I am hopeful you can come to a resolution with the dealer, as it sounds like you really want the car. I'm not trying to be critical, but I'd suggest changing your approach to maximize the likliehood of success.
- Your complaint letters are entirely too long and detailed. I enjoyed reading it, and it probably works well as a review on a message board, but it's not direct enough to be a successful complaint letter. You need to focus on what are the core complaints, and leave out the details/timeline. It sounds like your core complaints are 1.) The car had a major issue at delivery, and you question the legitimacy of it's CPO 2.) The dealership employees were condescending and unappreciative of your business during your purchase 3.) The sales staff did not have proper training on showing you the features of your new car during the delivery process. Leave out the credit check issue (most likely you signed something giving them authority), the fact that you don't like the new M3, the slowness in crediting your credit card, the missing floormats, and the negotiation process. You can bring these up in a phone conversation, but in a letter, they dilute the strength of your primary complaints.
- Second, you need to establish a remedy for your complaints. You can simply say "I am interested in purchasing this vehicle and would like you to call me so that we can collaborate on a resolution to my complaints", or you can identify what you are seeking. For your example, a resolution to the first complaint is perhaps a third-party inspection paid for by BMW, for problems 2 & 3, maybe all you want is an apology and for BMW to note your complaint about the attitude and aptitude of these employees. It also never hurts to ask for some freebies or a price reduction due to the time and aggravation to which you have been subjected.
- Third, move up the ladder slowly. Sending this letter to 50 people in the BMW organization who lack the ability to help you can possibly make some of those that can help you act defensive. A concise and polite letter to the general manager and perhaps BMWNA customer relations would probably have greater success than sending it to the BMW board of directors. Posting your story up on the messageboard is valid, as I and other members appreciate your review, but claiming the car is a lemon may be overkill.
- Lastly, have a BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) in mind when working for a resolution. If you can't come to an agreement, will you move further up the ladder with your comlaints or will you go to another dealer and wait for another used car at another dealer?
I hope you have a successful resolution to this issue. I am hoping you'll be able to overcome these obstacles and be driving your M3 (and posting pictures) in a few short days.
- They were trying to extract as much money from you as possible. Nothing wrong with this.
- They apparently treated you as a customer very poorly. There is no excuse for this.
- Somewhere between the last time you drove it and purchased it something broke. It does happen, get over it. Even happens on a brand new vehicle. I like you would no longer want the car. They should have behaved more professionally and refunded your purchase in short order. After all, you are (or were) a potential customer. As for Joe, perhaps he was having a few bad days. Perhaps he is about to loose his house, getting divorced, has a sick child and was already stressed. Ever thought of that? This does not excuse his behavior by any means but some times you have to give folks the benefit of doubt. Besides, perhaps your behavior was not the best either, especially since the whole deal from the beginning did not go well, your likely to be agitated as most of us would be. I would have started with the owner of the dealership and tried to work things out. Firing off a letter to as many people as you did will get you nowhere in the long run. You will be branded as "an undesirable customer". BMW will not go broke if they never see you again.
Hopefully, you will find another dealership and the car of your dreams. In the meantime, look back on this and see if perhaps if you acted differently, could have it gone better. Perhaps not, perhaps the dealership sucks. Life is short, enjoy it.
wow you are spending 40k cash, and this is the service you get. i feel bad for you. keep us updated if you get any responses.
My friend had a problem with this dealership also a few months back when he purchased his 2008 335i coupe. I forgot the sale person's name but initially he was great but after seeing how we weren't willing to pay "thousands over invoice", his tone & attitude in working with us went south. In the end we decided on $1500 over invoice but he basically blew us off and concentrated his time on someone else who was seeing him and willing to pay his huge markup on another BMW.
The transaction was suppose to take two days and we offer to come back tomorrow seeing it was near closing but he wouldn't be in, so he said he would have a Service Advisor wrap up the transactions for us. The next day we waited until 12pm and didn't hear a thing, so my friend called the dealership and ask for the SA that was suppose to help us. We get this excuse from another person on how his "wife has cancer" and he was at the hospital.......WTF? *More like I don't want to come in on a SUNDAY*. My friend asked if someone else could wrap up the transaction but they had to get back to us.
We were pretty annoyed and pissed off by then, here my friend is willing to spend $53,000 on a car but you don't take him seriously!? Luckily I had send out a couple of Internet quotes for him for the car the previous night and we heard back from 1 dealership in the East Bay who was willing to do MSRP OTD, $53000 OTD. No hesitation on my friend's part, he agreed and we drove 1 hr and picked up the car. The Internet manager at this new BMW dealership was GREAT and bent over backwards to make sure my friend was completely happy with the transaction.
I too have heard about the questionable sales attics from this dealership. The dealership may be small but it's located in an area where there are a higher number of well off individuals who see a couple of thousand dollars as spare change.

I've learned the hard way that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. It does no good to come on strong with these retail folks. If you're still in the market, try Sonnen in my neck of the woods. The dealership is owned by a woman.
Sometimes it is more pleasant to deal with car transactions from a very business standpoint. That requires that one not fall in love with the car, or at least not letting it show. Ask for a reasonable way to resolve the situation and plan a course of action if it is not accepted.
The OP seems to have a bit of vindictive streak by posting here and the blog. When writing a complaint letter, I generally stick to the most pertinent points and offer them a reasonable solution that I want the company to accept/perform.
The dealership people need to learn how to treat customers better. Even if they think the customer is an idiot or is unreasonable, they need to handle it better. Since they are in the sales profession, the main responsibility to have a amicable situation and atmosphere is on them, not the novice customer. The nice thing about the Bay Area is that there are several BMW dealers, not just one like in some cities.

Just go to another dealer already. I am not excusing Peter Pan I for sure will never buy a car from there. But let another dealer that is willing to help you get the commission.

The 2006 BMW M3 at BMW of Monterey is actually a SMG transmission car and priced at $35,200. Mileage at 34,163 and CPO. VERY clean. Ask for Walter!!
I am sorry to hear about your experience. Buying your "dream" car should be exciting and enjoyable. When I bought my 01 M3 from a local BMW/VW/Porsche dealership, I was very disappointed in the service I received from the sales and service department. They promised a lot but I had to fight to get them to keep their promises. I felt like I was buying a $5k car from a shady used car lot. I have owned over 40 different cars but this is the first BMW I have ever owned. I LOVE this car! The performance is amazing. But the service I receive from the dealership sometimes makes me question the decision to purchase this car since eventually I will have to take it there for service. Maybe I am just spoiled from the local Acura dealership who has exceptional customer service. I can't say I feel your pain completely, but I do understand you frustration.
I checked BMW DCS, the hydraulic unit on the transmission was replaced on 12/18, the vehicle is all set. Not a cheap repair, but not a reason to call the car a lemon.
Peter Pan needs to inhale some pixie dust!!
Yes, there are two sides to this story Im sure.
"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." -Samuel Johnson
My Experience
Thanks to all who have replied to this thread.
I agree that every side has two stories.
However, the letter that I wrote very accurately reflects what happened that day.
I joined Bimmerfest a while back when I first started buying BMW's (2000), but I haven't been an active member. Since I haven't used the site in some time I needed to create a new user account. I realize that some may not feel my contributions to the site aren't as valid since my activity level is low. However, it does not take away from the fact that I was treated very poorly.
I was excited on the day I was supposed to pick up my M3. It's a car that I've wanted for a very long time. To have the experience turn out the way it did was one of the more disappointing experiences I've had in quite some time.
I'm sorry that some people on the forums feel the need to attack posters because they are not frequent posters, but I will not apologize for standing up for myself and giving my story a voice.
What happened was WRONG. Peter Pan BMW almost got away with selling me a car that wasn't properly certified. And I was lucky enough to get out of the mess without any major loss.
I am still in the market for an M3, but am now also considering a 335i coupe.
I test drove a 2008 (new) 335 yesterday and the feeling that I got behind the wheel reminded me of why I love BMW's so much.
I'll keep looking and hopefully will come up with something that I love, and at a price that makes sense.

Quite often we hear about the music industry issuing statements claiming that they sue those illegally sharing music in an aim to push consumers to legitimate sources to help the artists. If music file sharing was such a major issue for the artists, surely all the artists would oppose file sharing. However, this does not seem to be the case for Nine Inch Nails. Now, not only has the industrial rock band made some tracks available on BitTorrent, quite surprisingly, the torrents were uploaded to The Pirate Bay!
As many are aware, The Pirate Bay is considered one of the largest BitTorrent trackers and indexers, not to mention the most wanted by the entertainment industry to have shut down, with many past failed attempts. The closest was May 2006, where the site was brought down, only to spring back to life a few days later.
While some may wonder why an artist would even consider using this method of distribution, it actually has significant advantages over other methods. For example, there is minimal cost of using BitTorrent to share out content due to the way the network works and it is much cheaper than trying to get them aired. It also helps get the artist better known to a wider audience, making consumers more likely to obtain and potentially purchase its upcoming tracks and bring more fans to its concerts.
Thanks to DamnedIfIknow for letting us know about this news.

WASPS' back row star Billy Vunipola has rejected a new contract and will leave the club this summer.
Vunipola, 20, has just been promoted to the England Saxons squad and is one of the club's most promising talents.
His decision to depart is a significant blow, and also a slight surprise after Joe Launchbury and Christian Wade did agree long-term deals.
Vunipola is now free to join his brother Mako at Saracens.
Wasps said: "The club has been informed this afternoon that Billy Vunipola has decided to leave at the end of the season.
"We are incredibly disappointed that he has chosen to leave and we will make a full comment on his departure tomorrow."
The only consolation for Wasps is that they are strong in the back row, with James Haskell, Ashley Johnson, Jonathan Poff, Sam Jones and Matt Everard all established.

By Ronald Blum, AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK Top pick David Price agreed Wednesday to an $11.25 million, six-year contract with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and all the other first-rounders also beat baseball's new deadline for draft choices to sign.
Price, a hard-throwing left-hander from Vanderbilt, is guaranteed $8.5 million under the deal, which includes a $5.6 million signing bonus.
Agreements were announced Wednesday for 11 of the 30 first-round picks. Agent Scott Boras went right up to the final hours before the midnight EDT deadline with the second, fifth and 30th selections in June's draft.
Michael Moustakas, a shortstop from Chatsworth High School in California, agreed to a contract with the Kansas City Royals with a $4 million signing bonus. George Tech catcher Matt Wieters, selected fifth by Baltimore, received a $6 million signing bonus. The New York Yankees and right-hander Andrew Brackman, the No. 30 pick, agreed to a $4.55 million, four-year contract that includes a $3.35 million signing bonus. Brackman likely will have elbow ligament replacement surgery in the next few weeks.
Josh Vitters, a third baseman from Cypress High School in California who was taken by the Chicago Cubs with the third pick, agreed to a minor league contract with a signing bonus of about $3.2 million.
Before Wednesday, the highest draft pick to agree to a deal had been Clemson left-hander Daniel Moskos, who was selected fourth by Pittsburgh and got a $2,475,000 signing bonus.
Price received the third-highest guarantee for a draft pick behind the Cubs' Mark Prior ($10.5 million) and Texas' Mark Teixeira ($9.5 million) in 2001 and the third-largest signing bonus behind Arizona's Justin Upton ($6.1 million) in 2005 and Wieters, according to research by Baseball America.
Price, winner of the Golden Spikes Award as the nation's top amateur player, was on the eighth hole of a golf course when he received a phone call from his representative, Bo McKinnis, that a deal had been struck. Price was confident an agreement would be reached.
"I didn't really care if somebody else in the draft made more money. You're going to make your money in the big leagues," Price said. "It's definitely a good feeling. Now I can do what I've been doing for the last 15 years, play baseball."
The Devil Rays plan to send the 21-year-old to Class-A Hudson Valley, where he will work out and get acclimated to pro ball - but likely not pitch this season.
"We're going to be overcautious. We don't have all the information we want," about what shape Price's arm is in after not pitching in a game for the past two months, Devil Rays vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said.
Price gets a $5.6 million signing bonus, payable in six equal installments each Aug. 31 beginning this year. He gets a $500,000 salary this year and major league salaries of $650,000 next year, $750,000 in 2009, $1 million in 2010, $1.25 million in 2011 and $1.5 million in 2012. If he's in the minors, he receives $100,000 next season, $150,000 in 2009, $200,000 in 2010, $650,000 in 2011 and $1.3 million in 2012.
In any year he is eligible for salary arbitration, Price can void his salary and file for arbitration.
Under a new baseball rule this year, teams had until Wednesday to reach agreements with their 2007 draft picks. Teams that fail to sign first- and second-round picks get a selection in the 2008 draft right after the same number pick.
"I thought from the beginning that the negotiation would go into August," McKinnis said. "I did not think it was a requirement that we go to the 15th, but it worked out that way."
After Wednesday, players are not eligible to sign, and many unsigned players could go back into next year's draft pool. The commissioner's office slotting recommendations to teams cut the figures for each position by about 10 percent.
Also agreeing on the final day were right-hander Jarrod Parker (No. 9) and Arizona at $2.1 million, left-hander Madison Bumgarner (No. 10) and San Francisco at about $2 million, right-hander Phillippe Aumont (No. 11) and Seattle at $1.9 million, third baseman Matt Dominguez (No. 12) and Florida at $1.8 million, and outfielder Wendell Fairley (No. 29) and San Francisco at about $1 million.
Detroit announced a four-year contract with right-hander Rick Porcello, another Boras client. The No. 27 pick was guaranteed $7,285,000 under the deal, agreed to earlier this week.
Washington and sixth-round draft pick Jack McGeary, a high school left-hander, agreed to a $1.8 million signing bonus.

I'm on the board of directors of the Peace Economy Project. I was one of the founders and served as director in the 1970s and '80s. Then I stepped away. They say when an organization has its third director, you know it has staying power. Well, PEP is on its sixth director, and I am very happy to be part of the group.
PEP researches military spending and tracks weapons production and bases in the St. Louis region. It used to be that 16 percent of the region's jobs were directly or indirectly dependent on Pentagon dollars. But jobs have been outsourced overseas and replaced with technology. Still the Department of Defense budget rises.
PEP has had director turnover because salaries are low. The job has been a stepping stone that has led to careers in international service, peace research, political activism and social work. Hiring and training new staff is a drag, but those of us on the board are proud of the accomplishments of our previous directors, and we have developed some deliberate strategies for giving our director, interns and volunteers experience in making the case for a peace economy.
One of the recurring actions is a congressional appeal to cut the military budget. PEP sends our director and an intern to Washington, D.C., each summer to deliver the appeal personally to the senators and congressional representatives of everyone who signs the appeal. It's a great expression of grass-roots lobbying. People who sign the appeal know where it's going, and they get a firsthand report on how it was received. Our young representatives meet with other activists here in preparation, then meet some of their counterparts in Washington.
This is a small, personal effort to urge Congress to cut the Department of Defense budget. Take a look.

Washington, D.C. – Sen. Charles Schumer, Chairman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Center, released the following statement in response to Sen. Mitch McConnell repeatedly refusing to take a government shutdown off the table during his appearance on "Meet the Press" this weekend:
"Too many Republicans seem like they are seeking a shutdown of the government when the current funding measure expires on March 4th. This was a mistake when Newt Gingrich did it in 1995, and it would be an even bigger mistake now. It could have disastrous consequences like halting Social Security payments, and jeopardizing access to health care for our veterans and seniors on Medicare. We need to work together to address the deficit, but we would urge Republicans not to risk the shutting down of the government. That is playing with fire."

Want a twist on delicious comfort food? Try Roberto Martin's recipe for twice baked potato.
- 5 large Russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed clean
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) (3/4 cup) vegan butter, melted
- 1 bunch chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegan Parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
Cut 5 good-size pieces of parchment paper, about 12x5 inches each. Hold a piece of the parchment paper under running water, then gently squeeze it to remove excess moisture. Wrap 1 potato up in the wet paper, then wrap it again in aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Be careful not to pierce the potatoes in any way. Bake the potatoes for 25 minutes, then turn them over and bake 20 minutes more. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let rest about 10 minutes before unwrapping.
Increase the oven temperature to 500 degrees F.
Remove the potatoes from the paper and foil and cut them in half lengthwise.
Using a spoon, scoop out the centers, leaving about a 1/8-inch-thick shell. Place all the potato pulp in a bowl and add the butter, chives, vegan Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Whip with a firm, silicone spatula until smooth.
Spoon the filling into the best-looking 8 potato halves, filling them to above the top edge. Discard the remaining 2 halves or reserve for another use. Score the tops of the filling with the tines of a fork or the end of a paring knife to create ridges. Bake the 8 stuffed potato halves for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are hot and the tops have begun to brown.
Serves 4
