Question about 2002 Kia Sedona
When I attempt to unlock by either means, all I get is a rattling sound like some plastic gears are stripped. So I am not sure if the unlock mech works or if the hatch handle is inop. Any help would be great.
Posted by mystic_squir on
If you have a Kia Sedona liftgate that won't unlock or gets stuck closed here is how I fixed it in July of 2010:
In our 2002 Sedona, at first the key stopped working and then we heard a grinding sound when we pushed the unlock button on the remote and this stopped working! It wouldn't open at all. The problem is a plastic spiral gear on something called the liftgate lock actuator. The spiral gear runs through the center of a circular gear that meshes with a small electric motor that is activated when you press lock or unlock. It turns one way with lock and the other with unlock. The motor makes the circular gear turn one way or the other which pushes the spiral gear up or down and at the top of the spiral gear is a hole that the lock mechanism connects to. This unlocks or locks the liftgate. In our Sedona, the spiral gear stripped where the circular gear surrounded it, so it got stuck, held the lock mechanism and I couldn't open the liftgate. I took apart my old one to see if there was anything I could do to fix it, I am REALLY cheap I guess, but the gear was stripped beyond repair. If yours doesn't move it probably is stripped also.
Now, the catch-22: you can't properly remove the inside back panel without opening the liftgate, so if you start to have problems, take care of them early, it makes removal of the back panel easier... but there is still hope even if you wait too long.
Your choices:
A) Go to the dealer and tell him you need to have the liftgate lock actuator replaced. They charge ~$100 for the part (that is a quote I got) and I would guess it would take an 1-2hours of labor, so it will cost you $200-$300 to get it fixed this way, YMMV, especially if you wait until you can't get the liftgate open. Is it worth it? Well in our case we couldn't get the liftgate open at all, either with the remote or with the key. But... I'm too cheap to pay this much, so read on...
B) Do it yourself and buy the part online. I only found two places with the part as of 7/20/2010: kiacarparts.net -> Liftgate -> Lock and hardware -> Actuator - Part #3, $70.41 - OR - Courtesy kia parts partswebsite.com/kiapartsdealer, same part name, still Part #3, $62.58. I have no idea the shipping, and it would probably be different for you. But, again, I thought maybe I could find it at a junkyard...
C) And I did, my city where I live I found a junkyard with a 2002 Kia Sedona with this part and an interior that matched! I pulled it off myself and paid $25, plus I got the brake light cover that I broke the tab on (read on) thrown in. I 'tested it' by pulling up and down on the eye of the spiral gear, since it moved freely (the old one did not) I figured I would get some life out of it. I have >150000 miles on the van, so I thought I would take a chance. Maybe you can find one and do it cheaper, good luck! Again, you can buy it online or at the dealer if needed.
1) Pop off the cover over the rear high mounted brake light - careful, you can break the snaps easily, I did. There is one on each side pointing down.
2) Once you get that off, you need to pry off the upper trim around the window. Just go slow and it should pop out, also remove the handle by carefully prying out the two rubber plugs and using a phillips screwdriver to remove the screws.
3) Loosen the two screws, one on each side of the back inside panel that were covered by the upper trim.
4) IF YOU CAN GET THE LIFTGATE OPEN, then unscrew the screws at the bottom of the liftgate panel, I forget how many there were.
5) Either way, slowly pry the inner back panel away from the liftgate. It has plastic pop rivets, but if you are careful you shouldn't break any. IF YOU CAN'T GET THE LIFTGATE OPEN, you can pry it away at the top and the sides, this is what I did.
6) Now, you have a plastic vapor barrier to deal with, slowly pull it away from the gooey black stick-um around the top until you can reach inside without it getting stuck to the hair on your arms 8^(
7) There is a small opening it about the middle, maybe two inches by one inch oval, if you stick your finger inside this oval and push up (or was it down) on the brass colored lever the liftgate should release and you now can properly open it up and take the back panel off the rest of the way, un-plugging the interior light as you pull the back panel loose, don't worry, there is only one way this plug can go back together, and finally loosening the screws at the bottom.
8) Remove the rest of the vapor barrier carefully, if you don't get it stuck to something else, you can press it back into the goo when you put it back together.
9) Now find the actuator - go to the websites above and look at the picture, #3, it is near the bottom of the door and is mounted with 3 bolts to a brass bracket. It is a black box about 3.5" by 2.5" with a rubber boot on the top and a white plastic eye hook poking through the rubber boot. That hook is on the end of the spiral gear.
9) Carefully using some pliers, pull the rubberish tan plastic housing that is wrapped around the bent aluminum rod out of the eye of the spiral gear, you will need it later for re-assembly, I don't know if you get one when you buy a new part.
10) NOTE: If you don't care about the remote unlocking the back door you can save some money and stop here. The key should now work. But, it you want to fix it, keep reading...
11) You now need to loosen the 3 bolts that hold the actuator bracket to the main mounting bracket, Two are easy to get to, the third requires a socket or a thin wrench to clear the frame.
12) Now remove the actuator from its frame by loosening two more bolts, somewhere in here you should unplug it from the wire connector.
13) Replace it with the one you bought and mount it to the bracket and the bracket to the main mounting bracket. Plug it in and make sure it goes back and forth when you press your remote or unlock the car.
14) Now carefully press the locking rod back into the eye and test it again. If it all works the put it back together in the following order...
- Press the vapor barrier back into the goo around the back of the door and feed the interior light connector through it. I don't know if you really need the VB, but mine was still in good shape so it got re-used. Make sure the holes line up with the holes in the frame so that the panel will go back on easily
- Have someone (get your kid to help, they will like to learn some car stuff!) hold up the back panel and connect the interior light and then screw the bottom screws on and any side screws. It has been a couple of weeks, I can't remember how many screws; finally pop the rivets back through the holes.
- Do the last two screws at the upper side of the back panel and put the handle back on. You did save all of the parts, didn't you?
- Now snap the top trim back around the window.
- Finally, snap back on the upper brake light cover and you are done!
Whew, so in summary, I paid $25, took about 2-3 hours total, most of that time was taking it apart and saved $200-$300 I figure. I gutted the old actuator to see how it worked (I'm a design engineer) and called the designer cheap who used a plastic spiral gear.
You can do all or part of this, if you aren't handy get someone who is and is careful taking things apart. I wrote this up to give you some hope if you want to get your Sedona liftgate working again.
I hope you enjoyed reading this even if you didn't need the help.
A follow-up... Years later I visited a newer Sedona in the junkyard and this problem had been designed out. Yea, it was a bad design.

I tried installing wanamLite for my S4, but as after I tried to reboot, the phone just vibrates every 6 seconds. the screen doesn't even turn on. I am able to get into download mode but not recovery. I tried to flash the stock tar.md5 with odin, and even though it said it was successful on my PC, my phone still didn't turn on. I tried to do a repartition with the adonis.pit file from the formpage and that didn't work either. as a last resort, i checked the nand erase all and had the same results. the only difference was that on my phone is show that is was erasing user data. my phone still doesn't even go to the recovery screen even though i can get into the download menu easily.

Checking for updates fails with 80072efe for "other products"
If I receive updates "For Windows and other products from Microsoft Update", then
checking for updates fails with error code 80072efe. If I receive updates "For Windows only" then it works. I installed Microsoft Security Essentials which enabled the former and caused updating to fail. What's up and how to fix?

It's likely that this problem is caused by residuals from your previous security software - what was it?
Do you have any other security software currently installed?
You can happily reset the updates preference to 'Windows only' in the meantime- it won't affect MSE.

I did not have any previous security software. I reinstalled Windows, applied all updates coming from windowsupdate and then installed MSE.
edit: and I don't have any other security software installed.

Odd -
This error is usually caused by a failure to connect properly to the server - it's a 'Connection Aborted' error, and usually implies that there is a firewall problem, or a simple bad internet connection (I get it fairly frequently, as I use a 3G connection).
I suggest opening an Elevated Command Prompt window, and running the following command
- wait for it to complete, and reboot on request.

Washington DC (SPX) May 04, 2009
The House Committee on Science and Technology's Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics held a hearing to examine the challenges faced by civil and commercial space users as space traffic and space debris in Earth orbit continue to increase.
Subcommittee Members questioned witnesses about potential measures to improve the information available to civil and commercial users to avoid in-space collisions and discussed ways to minimize the growth of future space debris.
Ensuring the future safety of civil and commercial spacecraft and satellites is becoming a major concern. The February 2009 collision between an Iridium Satellite-owned communications satellite and a defunct Russian Cosmos satellite highlighted the growing problem of space debris and the need to minimize the chances of in-space collisions.
"It was such a surprise to me and many others when we heard the news that two satellites had collided in orbit in February of this year. It was hard to believe that space had gotten that crowded. It was equally difficult to believe that nothing could have been done to prevent the collision, given that one of the satellites was active and by all accounts would have had the capability to maneuver out of harm's way," said Subcommittee Chairwoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).
"I'd like to know where things stand, and what we're going to do to keep such an event from happening again."
While several nations such as Russia, France, Germany and Japan have some form of space surveillance capability, these systems are not interconnected and are neither as capable nor as robust as the United States' Space Surveillance Network (SSN).
SSN consists of a world-wide network of 29 ground-based sensors that are stated to be capable of tracking objects as small as five centimeters orbiting in Low Earth Orbit (LEO)-that is, the region of space below the altitude of 2,000 km (about 1,250 miles).
For the last four years, the Department of Defense (DOD) has undertaken a Commercial and Foreign Entities (CFE) pilot program to make collision avoidance information available to commercial space users. Commercial users have found the service to be very useful and have been concerned about uncertainty concerning the CFE program's future.
At the hearing, Gen. Larry James, Commander of the Joint Functional Component Command for Space, testified that the DoD would transition the CFE to an operational program later this year.
Since 1957, there have been several thousand payloads launched into space. After the first fragmentation of a man-made satellite in 1961, there have been more than 190 fragmentations and 4 accidental collisions. Since January of 2007, there have been three major debris generating incidents, which have significantly increased the Earth's orbital debris environment: Iridium 33 - Cosmos 2251 Satellite Collision; Chinese A-SAT test on Fengyun-1C; and Russian spent stage explosion - Russian Arabsat 4.
At this point, the DoD is tracking more than 19,000 objects in Earth orbit, and witnesses at the hearing testified that there are more than 300,000 objects of a half-inch in size or larger orbiting the Earth, with further growth in the debris population anticipated in the coming years.
"One thing is already clear-the space environment is getting increasingly crowded due to the relentless growth of space debris. If the spacefaring nations of the world don't take steps to minimize the growth of space junk, we may eventually face a situation where low Earth orbit becomes a risky place to carry out civil and commercial space activities," said Giffords.

2007 Scion tC Hatchback - Consumer Review

Not perfect, but good for the price
By Sean on
Vehicle2007 Scion tC 2dr Hatchback (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
ReviewMy tC is apparently one of many that I have heard have a squeak in the dash right off the showroom floor. It comes and goes depending on road conditions but for a new car is very annoying and concerns me about the build quality comparing this, my first Toyota, to other cars I have owned. The gas mileage is also a little disappointing given that the car is a small 4-cyl. coupe. The car is wonderfully fun to drive and very comfortable over distances. I have a 100 mile a day commute and other than the squeaking love this car. The dealer would probably fix it no problem but they only do this type of work M-F and I do not live near the town I bought it in and would have to take off the day.
Best FeaturesThe built in iPod radio. Panoramic roof. Very upscale feel and feature list for a relatively inexpensive car. I also like the ultra smooth drive train.
Worst FeaturesIt could just be my car and a few others, but given Toyota's reputation the quality does not seem up to what I expected in respect to fit and finish only, materials are quite nice.

Iretta Morgan vs. Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, MissouriAnnotate this Case
Download PDF
IN THE MISSOURI COURT OF APPEALS WESTERN DISTRICT IRETTA MORGAN, Appellant, vs. SAINT LUKE'S HOSPITAL OF KANSAS CITY, Respondent. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) WD75098 Opinion filed: June 28, 2013 APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF JACKSON COUNTY, MISSOURI The Honorable Peggy S. McGraw, Judge Before Division Three: Alok Ahuja, Presiding Judge, Victor C. Howard, Judge and Cynthia L. Martin, Judge Iretta Morgan, appeals the ruling of the trial court granting judgment on the pleadings to St. Luke s Hospital of Kansas City ( St. Luke s ). She contends that the trial court erroneously found that her pleading against St. Luke s for violation of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act ( MMPA ), tortious interference with contract/business relationship, and unjust enrichment failed to state claims upon which relief could be granted. The judgment is reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion. First, Ms. Morgan contends that the pleading alleged that St. Luke s refusal to submit her bills to health insurance constituted an unfair business practice in violation of the MMPA. Ms. Morgan asserts that St. Luke s refusal to submit Morgan s bills to her health insurance ignored its contractual obligations with her insurer to accept a discounted amount and thereby denied Ms. Morgan the benefits of her health insurance, also resulting in a financial windfall to St. Luke s. Second, Ms. Morgan argues that the pleading alleged each element of tortious interference, including an absence of justification for St. Luke s actions. She contends that St. Luke s action was not justified because it had no unqualified legal right to ignore contractual obligations with Ms. Morgan s insurer that are designed to benefit the insured. Third, Ms. Morgan asserts that the pleading alleged each element of unjust enrichment, including that St. Luke s received a benefit to which it was not entitled. She argues that St. Luke s violated the terms of its contract with her health insurer that was in place for the benefit of the insured, and in doing so procured a financial benefit to the financial detriment of the insured. FACTS On March 18, 2009, Ms. Morgan sought treatment at St. Luke s for injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident with a third party. Her total bill for such treatment was $11,452.75. St. Luke s first submitted its bill to Ms. Morgan s health insurance and received payment from that insurance for such bill, all pursuant to the agreement between Ms. Morgan s health insurance and St. Luke s. This same agreement entitled Ms. Morgan to a contractual reduction in the amount of her medical bills incurred with St. Luke s. Then St. Luke s returned the funds received from the health insurance company and instead filed a lien against any recovery in Ms. Morgan s third party tort claim against the other driver in the accident. The lien was for the total amount of services rendered, without a reduction. Ms. Morgan filed a class action on behalf of herself and those similarly situated, the petition alleging in three counts that the above-described actions of St. Luke s violated the 2 MMPA, tortiously interfered with her contract with her health insurance provider, and unjustly enriched St. Luke s. St. Luke s subsequently filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, alleging that Ms. Morgan s petition should be dismissed based on issue preclusion or failure to plead claims upon which relief could be granted. The trial court ruled that the doctrine of issue preclusion did not apply, but granted judgment to St. Luke s on all three counts of Ms. Morgan s petition based on failure to state claims upon which relief could be granted. The trial court s conclusion was based on its findings that (1) the actions of St. Luke s did not constitute an unfair practice in violation of the MMPA because section 430.2301 allowed St. Luke s to file a lien on patients claims for personal injury, (2) there was no absence of justification for the actions of St. Luke s because such actions were within its legal right under section 430.230, and (3) Ms. Morgan did not plead facts sufficient to show it would be unjust for St. Luke s to retain the benefit of the full amount billed for medical services rendered. This appeal by Ms. Morgan followed. ANALYSIS At issue in this appeal is whether section 430.230 allows a healthcare provider to file a lien on a patient s claim against a third-party tortfeasor despite (1) the existence of a health insurance contract between the provider and the patient s health insurance company providing for a discount in the amount of the patient s medical bills, and (2) the payment of the discounted amount from the insurer to the provider. Standard of Review Review of a grant of a motion for judgment on the pleadings requires this Court to decide whether the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law on the face of the pleadings. Emerson Electric Co. v. Marsh & McLennan Companies, 362 S.W.3d 7, 12 (Mo. 1 All statutory references herein are to RSMo Cum. Supp. 2011 unless otherwise noted. 3 banc 2012) (internal quotations omitted). For purposes of the motion, the well-pleaded facts pleaded by the nonmoving party are treated as admitted. Id. The trial court s grant of judgment on the pleadings will be affirmed only if review of the totality of the facts pleaded by the petitioner and the benefit of all reasonable inferences drawn therefrom reveals that petitioner could not prevail under any legal theory. Id. Hospital Lien Statute and Hospital Billing Practices For Insured Patients Injured By Third Party Tortfeasors The significance of Missouri s hospital lien statute, section 430.230, is of foremost importance in resolving the issues in this appeal. The trial court s dismissal of Ms. Morgan s claims on the pleadings for her first two causes of action, violation of the MMPA and tortious interference with a contract/business relationship, hinged on its interpretation of section 430.230. Specifically, the trial court found that section gave St. Luke s the unlimited right to file a lien for the full cost of services rendered to insured patients upon those patients claims against thirdparty tortfeasors who caused their injuries treated by St. Luke s. Additionally, while the court s dismissal of Ms. Morgan s unjust enrichment claim does not explicitly refer to section 430.230, it is implicit that the court found it was not unjust to allow St. Luke s to retain the benefit of the lien for the full cost of services because something excused St. Luke s from charging only the contractually obligated discounted amount alleged in Ms. Morgan s petition. No other justification for disregarding its contractual obligations besides the right to assert a lien provided by section 430.230 was raised by St. Luke s or the trial court. Section 430.230 provides, in relevant part, that [e]very public hospital or clinic, and every privately maintained hospital, clinic or other institution for the care of the sick, which is supported in whole or in part by charity, located within the state of Missouri, or any such hospital duly incorporated under the laws of Missouri providing for the incorporation of eleemosynary institutions, shall have a lien upon any and all claims, 4 counterclaims, demands, suits, or rights of action of any person admitted to any hospital, clinic or other institution and receiving treatment, care or maintenance therein for any cause including any personal injury sustained by such person as the result of the negligence or wrongful act of another, which such injured person may have, assert or maintain against the person or persons causing such injury for damages on account of such injury, for the cost of such services, computed at reasonable rates not to exceed twenty-five dollars per day and the reasonable cost of necessary X-ray, laboratory, operating room and medication service, as such hospital, clinic, or other institution shall render such injured person on account of his conditions[.]2 Section 430.230 is designed with the dual purpose of ensuring that injured patients are promptly treated without consideration of their ability to pay and financially protecting health care providers to enable them to continue to provide care. Kelly v. Marvin s Midtown Chiropractic, LLC, 351 S.W.3d 833, 835 (Mo. App. W.D. 2011). This question is one of first impression in Missouri. Courts in other states with hospital lien statutes have considered this issue under various factual circumstances, and most courts generally hold that a healthcare provider covered under the hospital lien statute may not assert a lien against the claim of a patient with health insurance for an amount beyond what the contract between the provider and the health insurance company dictates.3 The focus of courts so holding 2 The parties and the court refer variously to section 430.230 and section 430.235; however, for the purposes of this opinion, the relevant language of each section is the same. 3 See Dorr v. Sacred Heart Hosp., 597 N.W.2d 462, 467 (Wis. App. 1999) (holding that because the contract between the hospital and the health insurance company had a hold harmless provision which stated the hospital would not bill or hold insurance subscribers liable for any hospital expenses covered by the subscriber's insurance contract, and all expenses from the patient s treatment for the automobile accident were covered in such contract, there was no debt upon which the hospital could assert a lien pursuant to the state s hospital lien statute); Midwest Neurosurgery, P.C. v. State Farm Ins. Cos., 686 N.W.2d 572, 577, 579 (Neb. 2004) (holding that under Nebraska's physician's lien statute a physician's lien could not exceed the amount the health care provider agreed to accept for the services rendered to a patient, even if the usual and customary charge for such services is greater than that sum, because the statute extends such lien only to the amount due, or debt of the patient to the hospital); Parnell v. Adventist Health System/West, 109 P.3d 69, 71 (Cal. 2005) (holding that, where hospital used balance billing, that since the hospital had already received payments from the patient and his health insurer, and had agreed to accept that amount as payment in full for its services, there was no longer any amount owing to the hospital, and thus it could not assert a statutory hospital lien for the difference between its charges and the amount received, in light of the negotiated network agreements); Statsky v. U.S., 993 F.Supp. 1027, 1028-29 (S.D. Tex. 1998) (holding that where hospital used balance billing, its lien was unenforceable because the hospital had been paid in full for the services it provided to patient, and there was consequently no debt to secure by the existence of the lien); Wright v. First Nat'l Bank in Albuquerque, 941 P.2d 498, 500-01 (N.M. 1997) (holding that a hospital may not assert a statutory lien in an amount exceeding the amount it agreed to accept from the patient's insurer); Lopez v. Morley, 5 is on the existence of an underlying debt being necessary to support a lien, leading them to reason that a provider is not entitled to file a lien under the hospital lien statute when the patient s obligation to the provider has been satisfied by the payment made by her health insurer. E.g., Wright, 941 P.2d at 500. The court in Dorr, for example, focused on the plain meaning of the word lien itself, reasoning that it indicates that the existence of a debt is required for a lien to exist. Dorr, 597 N.W.2d at 469-70. In West v. Shelby County Healthcare Corp., the Tennessee Court of Appeals concluded that, under Tennessee s healthcare lien act, the underlying debt to which the lien attaches is an obligation owed by the person receiving medical services from the hospital[,] rather than an obligation owed by the tortfeasor or the tortfeasor s insurer. 2013 WL 500777, 13 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2013). The West court s stance was that language in the agreement between the provider and insurer that attempted to reserve the provider a right to collect appropriate amount(s) due ¦ from a third party that might have legal responsibility for the services rendered[,] in spite of the same agreement s hold harmless provision, was ineffective because the healthcare lien act [did] not give the hospital an independent cause of action against the third party tortfeasor. Id. at 6, 13. One court considering situations similar to those before this court has come to the opposite conclusion. Rogalla v. Christie Clinic, P.C. relied on language in the agreement between the provider and the insurer to conclude that the clinic reserve[d] [its] statutory right to seek relief from third-party tortfeasors by subrogat[ing] the claims of plaintiff. 794 N.E.2d 384, 392 (Ill. App. 4 Dist. 2003). The court then held that a hospital's statutory lien was not 817 N.E.2d 592, 599 (Ill. App. 2 Dist. 2004) (holding that the hospital's lien cover[ed] only the amounts of the debt owed ). 6 based on the patient's debt to the healthcare provider, but rather on the debt of the third-party tortfeasor to the patient and the provider. Id. We decline to adopt this approach. Ms. Morgan s claims were dismissed in a judgment on the pleadings, before she had an opportunity to conduct discovery and examine the terms of the agreement between St. Luke s and her health insurance company. The trial court concluded that because section 430.230 allows St. Luke s, without limitation, to file a lien on claims for personal injury treated at St. Luke s and caused by third-party tortfeasors, Ms. Morgan could not possibly prevail as a matter of law on any of the claims alleged in her petition. First, however, although this right is not expressly limited within the language of the statute, it is axiomatic that a lien cannot exist in the absence of [a] debt, the payment of which it secures. Dean Realty Co. v. City of Kansas City, 85 S.W.3d 83, 89 (Mo. App. W.D. 2002) (citing Jackson v. Engert, 453 S.W.2d 615, 617 (Mo. App. 1970)). Secondly, even if section 430.230 gives St. Luke s the right to a lien on such claims, its right, like any other legal right, can be modified or waived by contract. See Coffer v. Wasson-Hunt, 281 S.W.3d 308, 312 (Mo. banc 2009) ( As with any other statutory right, an officer can waive his or her right to appear before the board. ) (internal citations omitted). Treating Ms. Morgan s well-pleaded facts as admitted,4 there is a contract between St. Luke s and her health insurance provider that operates to compel the participation of St. Luke s in accepting discounted payments from Ms. Morgan s health insurance provider that serve to extinguish the underlying patient account, i.e. the debt. As such, we simply hold that, according 4 The brief of St. Luke s gives great importance to the inadequacy of Ms. Morgan s pleadings regarding the particular terms of its provider agreement with her health insurer. Clearly, however, Ms. Morgan has had no access to such agreement, so this importance is unwarranted. Ms. Morgan s petition does allege that she was entitled to have her claims submitted to her health insurance for payment and that St. Luke s had a contract with her insurer under which it was entitled to a reduced compensation for the healthcare services it provided to her. A reasonable implication of these allegations is that St. Luke s was required to submit Ms. Morgan s claim to her health insurance and was required to accept the reduced compensation in full satisfaction of the costs of the services provided to her. Thus, Ms. Morgan s essential claim is sufficient to constitute well-pleaded allegations that the existing contract between St. Luke s and her health insurance prohibit St. Luke s from doing what it has done, and thus is sufficient to overcome dismissal on all three of the theories she pled. 7 to the pleadings here, Ms. Morgan s debt has been extinguished.5 A lien cannot exist in the absence of a debt, and thus Ms. Morgan s pleadings have stated a cause of action so as to survive a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Therefore, the case is remanded for further proceedings as the trial court deems appropriate in light of this opinion. ______________________________________ VICTOR C. HOWARD, JUDGE All concur. 5 Although Ms. Morgan pled this case as a putative class action, the trial court did not rule on any issue concerning the certification of a class. Similarly, this Court does not express any views on class treatment of Ms. Morgan s case. 8

I was given a job offer being a wilderness therapist in St. George Utah the other day, meaning I would be going in the Utah Wilderness biweekly, camping, surviving, and helping recovering drug addicts get over addiction/ people suffering from severe depression cope. I had plans on moving west at the end of september (nothern cali or Oregon), so leaving Rhode Island isn't the problem. The issue I am facing now is Do I follow my future plans and take the job to get my foot into the outdoor industry, or do I follow surfing and hope I can find the right career path out in the PNW.
Heres some points to touch on both:
St. George Utah.
-6.5 hours from the southern california coast
-Bi weekley schedule, one week on, one week off= lots of time to travel
-10,000+ dollar pay cut
- empowering experience
-excellent resume builder
-doing the other stuff (not surfing) that I love and getting paid for it
- Saving a ****load of money on rent (living with co-workers)
Pacific North West
- Exploring the unknown, including the job search
- Unreal landscape
- Surfing
- No guarantee of any money at all
- Close to water and mountains
-My girlfriend wouldn't have a nervous breakdown because I wouldn't be away for half the year
I love surfing, but I love challenge and experience. Surfing is the number one factor holding me back from pulling the plug and just going for the job. so if you could answer as non biased as possible I would appreciate it.
If there was anyone else that was faced with a like decision, id like to hear your input

what would you do?
Last edited by surfingwasteland; Jul 6, 2012 at 11:21 AM.
I guess it depends on how important surfing is to you.
Think long term and not just the next year.
Imagine this scenario, you got into an accident and hurt your leg and could never surf again.
Then how would this change your decision?

Experience is the most important thing in my life. Surfing is a new experience every session, but so is life. Everyday holds something different.
In regards to the accident scenario.... Honestly I dont think like that. When I was 9, I got hit in the head with a golf club, suffered a shattered skull and brain damage. I was told I would never be able to talk again. I wasn't allowed to ride a bike, participate in contact sports, or do anything that put me at any risk. 2 years later I regained full speech, started a life of skating and surfing and am perfectly normal to this day. From that day forward I knew that no matter what I would try to do whatever I wanted, regardless of the situation.
It brings me to the question of is it surfing that I love, or the feeling I get when Im surfing? I guess this is why I am stuck.

Taking your Girl out of the equation.
Utah will take your breath away, and the experience will be life changing... you may never get this chance again.
I absolutely love surfing, can't live without it, but I don't get to go every day - I usually have to go a week between sessions.
A 6.5 hour drive to the coast every other week seems like you can have your cake and surf it too.
this situation seems to me like you are asking for the best possible way to mix orange juice and milk.... Some might say, he man, its only surfing... where others might say, dude, follow the waves cause its obviously your passion...
so you can't mix oj and milk... you can't, from what it seems, accept this job if you are so passionate about surfing.
seems like this is a job that would require you to give your 100% to the people that are there for your help... not gonna last long there if all you do is think about the waves. just my 2cents...

No way in hell I could do it. The worst 4 years of my life were in college at NCSU--just two hours from my home. Not having unlimited access to salt water messed me up. I thought before hand it wouldn't be that bad.... but it was, that and more. This, and I still came home every summer to live at the beach and teach sailing and kayaking, so I wasn't trapped in Raleigh but my absence from something I had literally grown up with at my fingertips for a month or more at a time had serious ill effects on me.
People say you learn things about yourself in college--I sure as hell did. There is absolutely no way I will ever live outside the coastal region.
Why not apply to be a NOLS leader in Baja?

dude you can always come back to the beach. I lived in lake tahoe north lake for a winter (about 6 months total) and didn't surf a single day but boarded over 100 days in 6 months! Mind blowing experience probably the coolest thing I have ever done. Go to utah and climb around on some boulders, shred some mountain bike trails, ride dirt bike and get it in because life is short. You will not regret it, the beach is always here.

Don't do it! We need you giving the surf report. You can't give a surf report from Utah. And anybody emailing you telling you you're overcalling it needs a mental exam. If anything, you're undercalling it slightly.
Jul 6, 2012, 01:27 PM #9
one week on, one week off, sounds like an excellent surf schedule. You would have all week to surf out and that would give you time for exploring a lot of coastline in the PNW. It is tougher when you only get one day off a week. Plus it is nice to have a job lined up before you make such a big move. You will then have time to look for a job that will provide 24/7 ocean access in the future. Good luck.

To learn more about this survey, visit our about the Press Ganey Survey page. Close Overview Contact Info & Locations Research Areas Basic Immunology Cancer Special Interests Research Interests Basic Aspects of Tumor Immunology Many approaches are being explored to determine how to activate T cells specific for tumors. We are interested in how vaccination using tumor antigens with amino acid substitutions leads to increased antitumor responses. We are defining the binding parameters within the MHC-peptide-TCR complex that are necessary to activate tumor-specific T cells. Using mouse models, we showed that amino acid substitutions in a tumor antigen that increase the stability of the MHC-peptide-TCR complex are significantly more potent as tumor vaccines. The improved immunity results from enhanced expansion of T cells specific for the natural tumor antigen. Using cutting-edge technologies, we are extending these studies to determine the limits of the correlation between the stability of the TCR complex and the increased response to tumors. In addition, we are testing which peptide interactions, those with the MHC or those with the TCR, can be altered to elicit the most effective antitumor response. Finally, we have begun new experiments to determine the effects of the microenvironment of the tumor on the T cells elicited by these vaccines. In particular, do low oxygen levels within the tumor impede the cytolytic functions of the T cells.

BLUEBIRDS skipper Mark Hudson insists he will not change the way he plays – even though he is just one booking from suspension.
Hudson has been cautioned four times this season and another yellow card will result in a one-match ban.
But the experienced centre-half says he has been in that position before and will never shirk a challenge.
Speaking after City's impressive 4-0 win against Burnley: he said: "I have to play my own game and I won't be pulling out of challenges.
"If the fifth booking comes then we have to deal with that, but it's no good working too hard to avoid it."
Hudson believes Cardiff will fire up their Championship away form – starting at Bolton on Saturday.
He says the Bluebirds can build on their seven successive home wins with impressive performances on the road in the next week or so at Bolton and his former club Charlton.
"We have played well at home and there was some top-quality flowing football against Burnley," he said.
"It was an all-round team display with everybody playing their part. Kim came into the team, was calm in possession and kept things moving. He is learning English well and showed he was ready for what was an outstanding debut.
"Defensively, we were solid. David Marshall made one terrific save and Burnley found it difficult to create chances.
"Burnley are a good side and their attacking threat is not just about their top scorer Charlie Austin, but we kept them quiet for long spells. It feels good to see us top of the Championship."

Just had a few playtests. I think the deck is working really well +1. The only suggestion I can offer is I think you could loose Counterlash , Steady Progress and maybe even 1 or 2 islands (perhaps you could put in some Mana Leak or more creatures depending on your meta) but I am very happy to see how it turned out. Well done :-)

I would like to thank you once again, and I have one more question. Do you think that this kind of deck could be used for serious use? Like a tournament or FNM?

Well the problem is that Steel Overseer is pretty much your most important card and it isnt standard legal. Modern is a VERY competitive format and I dont think this can stand up to something like affinity (the deck I linked you to before). Extended is a format that isnt often played these days but it might do okay in extended.
Im not sure what I would sub out for steel overseer if you want to play standard, perhaps you could just replace it with Treasure Mage and try to ramp into big artifacts or put in Myr Galvanizer and Tempered Steel and go down that direction. If you did something like this, you would win a few games but TBH I cant see how to make this an extremely competitive standard deck without changing a LOT of things. If you are happy with not having a tournament winning deck then im sure you could have lots of fun with this at FNM.
Another consideration is that most of your deck will be rotating out of standard when Return to Ravnica is realeased. If you are after a long-term tournament deck, I would probably try to focus more on your green aggro deck.

Volunteer with the EJC
There are two main ways to volunteer with the EJC:
Volunteer with EJC Advocacy Campaigns
We need volunteers to help promote EJC's legislative and enforcement campaigns designed to improve DC's laws for workers and increase enforcement of existing workplace fairness laws. We need people who can help produce campaign materials, organize workers and other volunteers to take action, testify before the D.C. Council, write letters to the editor, consult on legislative drafting, host house parties or phone banks, and participate in countless other grassroots advocacy techniques. We are especially interested in volunteers who can help us maintain a strong social media presence and assist with blogging for our website, posting relevant articles, updates, pictures and videos to the EJC facebook page in an eye-grabbing way. Please contact us if you have:
- training or experience working with Facebook and Twitter for campaigns or non-profits;
- strong writing skills;
- experience writing blogs for advocacy purposes;
- a general interest and commitment to the mission of the EJC;
- ability to create memes a plus; and
- proficiency in video editing a plus.
Interested applicants please contact us by e-mail at email@example.com.
Volunteer with the EJC Workers' Rights Clinics
Purpose: EJC's Workers' Rights Clinic is a walk-in advice clinic for low-wage workers. Under the general direction of the Clinic Coordinator, Intake Volunteers use a structured intake questionnaire to interview workers about their workplace issue, summarize the interview for on-site Advising Attorneys, and relay the attorneys' advice to workers. They may also assist with writing demand letters and filing complaints with appropriate agencies or workplace supervisors.
It is essential that volunteers be able to treat each person who enters the Workers' Rights Clinic with dignity, respect, and compassion and that they show a sincere interest in helping low-wage workers. The EJC works to provide meaningful pro bono opportunities to lawyers and law students, and also welcomes motivated individuals from outside the legal profession to help workers solve their workplace problems. No legal background or knowledge of employment law is required to volunteer at the clinic.
Benefits to the Volunteer: Volunteers develop their experience interviewing workers regarding legal issues. They gain knowledge of different areas of employment law, a new perspective on employee relations, increased confidence in their non-English language skills, and an improved understanding of how low-wage workers often struggle to achieve workplace justice.
Time Requirement/ Work Schedule:
All volunteers are required to complete training and observe the intake process before conducting intakes. Trained Intake Volunteers are expected to commit to volunteer at clinic at least once a month during clinic hours:
- NW Clinic: Every Wednesday – Intakes 6 pm-9 pm
- Bread for the City NW, 1525 7th St. NW, Washington, DC
- SE Clinic: Last Saturday of every month – Intakes 10 am-1 pm
- Bread for the City SE, 1640 Good Hope Road SE, Washington, DC
- NLSP Clinic: First and third Fridays of each month – Intakes 12 pm-4 pm
- Neighborhood Legal Service Program, 2811 Pennsylvania Ave SE, Washington, DC

Harvest Time For Cars 108 Garden
The weather didn't do much to help the Cars 108 Garden this year. Lots of 90+ degree weather and very little in the way of rain led to a disappointing harvest. We didn't find Jimmy Hoffa either.
The weather didn't do much to help the Cars 108 Garden this year. Lots of 90+ degree weather and very little in the way of rain led to a disappointing harvest. We didn't find Jimmy Hoffa either.
I have a garden at home and one at the radio station. The two couldn't be more different. The one at home I am able to water regularly. The station garden requires frequent trips with a watering can.
Last weekend, my wife and I planted our garden at home. This weekend we took the seedlings that were left over and put them in the ground behind the radio station. We had already planted potatoes on the station property in mid-April, and they are doing very well.
The thermometer read 22 degrees this morning, but my garden is already off to a good start. Most of it is beginning indoors, but my peas handled the cold with no problem despite being outside where it was frosty!
Every year, I plant a small garden on the Cars 108 station property. This year I am starting a bit earlier than usual. My wife and I got the soil ready by tilling in some cow manure for fertilizer. I have been saving the coffee grounds from the Cars 108 coffee pot and tossing them on the garden patch since last season. The soil here drains really well, and is great for growing potatoes.
It's been a good year for the Cars 108 garden. Almost everything we planted produced prolifically. Between my garden at home and the one at the radio station, I had enough tomoatoes to can for soups and chili and plenty to give to friends and co-workers. The potatoes did very well, as I dug up a 5-gallon bucketful of spuds. The sweet potatoes were the only disappointment as they didn't get very large. I still plan to throw a couple of them on the grill and see how they taste before calling them a failure.
When we started the seeds back in early May we didn't know what to expect. When we put them in the ground on Memorial Day weekend, we hoped for the best. Now that Labor Day weekend is upon us, it's time to enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of our efforts. Most everything we planted has produced, although the deer that live near the radio station got to the cayenne peppers and the green beans before we did.
Since Memorial Day weekend when my wife Shelia and I planted the garden behind the radio station, I have been showing you updates on how things are growing. Here's the latest.
Like many of you, I love to grow things and really enjoy the part when it's time to eat them. So far, everything that I planted in the patch out back of the radio station is doing quite well. So are the weeds, but I have been doing my best to keep up with them! As of this week, a few tomatoes have started to form to go along with some small pumpkins and some chili peppers.
Two weeks after putting seeds and seedlings into the back 40 at the Cars 108 radio ranch, things are growing in a hurry. So far, the vegetables are ahead of the weeds.

I just saw this kid's interview on Tremendous:
and his highlights are spectacular:
Big (6'3" 200+), fast, and tough (plays a pretty mean OLB). Seems a bit under the radar and I have no idea about the level of competition, but he sure looks impressive. Insert usual caveats about getting guys away from the Left Coast, but certainly worth a shot.

Simplifiy A/V Systems for Performance Centers & Live Theatre
PureLink's PS-6200 All-in-One Presentation Switcher Provides the Clear Solution
RAMSEY, NJ - November 20, 2013 - The use of digital scenery and video special effects in concerts, theatre, and live arts productions plays a significant role in the execution of a successful show. Video technology is a useful and creative tool because of its versatility and the ability to quickly adapt to new ideas or changes during the production process. In today's digital age, implementing this technology has become common practice, increasing the demand for audio/video systems that are both professional and easy to use. Now, it has never been easier to design and install a presentation system that is both powerful and flexible, creating a dynamic, effective experience for the audience.
PureLink's new PS-6200 Presentation Switcher is a complete, high definition A/V signal-routing solution for simple conferencing environments. Together with Purelink's fast-switching speeds, the PS-6200 provides a simple, flexible, and high-performance solution for integration into performance venues or concert halls.
Seamless integration of audio/video systems that require few components that allow for ease of installation and operation.
Transparent Technology - is the system simple enough for non-technical end users to operate without training?
Easy Upgrade - can installation be simplified to meet tight construction schedules, keeping the project moving efficiently and cost-effectively?
Auto-Scaling - the built-in auto-scaling on all outputs ensures that users can plug in any laptop or source device, digital or analog, without having to worry about whether the picture will display properly.
All-in-one Chassis - because the PS-6200 Presentation Switcher combines multiple video inputs (including 3G/HD-SDI), full video and audio matrix switching, and signal conversion in a single device, it minimizes the number of components in each system and the number of steps required to operate them. This, in parallel, makes set-up and disassembly of the system much more simplified and manageable.

Album Rating: 2.0One review a day dude. You push others off of the front page.
Album Rating: 3.5I like reviewing albums. I see too many reviews lacking substance and I wish to remedy that. Is this an actual rule?
Album Rating: 2.0It's not an actual rule, but it kind of makes you look like an asshole if other people that have worked hard on writing
their reviews are getting bumped off of the homepage so you can have 4 of your reviews on the homepage at once.
There's a little thing called common courtesy.
Album Rating: 3.5Out of respect for this site and others reviewing I will not post another review until mine are no longer on the homepage.
Album Rating: 3.5Not a bad album but a big step backwards compared to their debut.
Digging: Travelin Jack - Commencing Countdown
Album Rating: 3.5Obviously it doesn't measure up to Appetite, which is why it's best framed as an EP/mini-album as opposed to a studio LP.
What they said (and don't worry, a lot of sputnikers make this rookie mistake, I being one of them).
Decent review btw. I personally don't like GNR much; a few guilty pleasures here and there. I think they're one of the most overrated bands in rock history. However, I respect the Hall's decision to induct them, since I believe that historic impact sometimes has to be put before personal taste.
Album Rating: 4.0Patience and One In A Million alone are worth the price of admission
Not a bad album but a big step backwards compared to their debut.
Band's OK.
Most disappointing sophomore album ever....
Patience and One In A Million are both great ...
Album Rating: 3.5I don't consider it a studio LP effort and as such I don't hold it to the same standards as one.
This band is overrated

Appetite For Destruction is their only good album.

THE A1 at Stannington, near Morpeth, will re-open to traffic next month.
Since last year, drivers have been diverted on to two slip roads with a 30mph speed limit on either side of the motorway, so that work could be carried out to create a new underpass and two new junctions.
The 5.6m scheme, designed to improve safety at the accident black-spot after a triple fatal accident in 1999, started in September 2003.
The main A1 through road will re-open in June, with two roundabouts and the new junctions at Stannington Village and Stannington Station expected to be ready by Autumn.
The current 30mph speed limit will be raised to 50mph.
Alan Apps, Project Sponsor for the Highways Agency, said: "This is a significant milestone in the development of the new junction. Road users will have the benefit of staying on the main line of the A1 and have the speed limit increased to 50mph.
"Work is progressing well on the Stannington safety scheme and the re-opening of the road over the new bridge is a major step in the development of the new, safer junction."
"There is still a lot of work to be completed.
"Once the road is again opened over the bridge, work will start on completing the roundabouts, underpass and access roads which are an integral part of the scheme.
"Work is still well on schedule for the planned completion date towards the end of the year."
The two slip roads currently in place will be altered slightly to act as part of the new junction.

"Go ahead, let's get this over with" the little frog seems to be thinking. After catching the frog, the heron dunked it into the water, hence the water drops, before swallowing it. The flash was in my backpack. It wouldn't have been very useful to light up the shadow areas.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Wednesday, December 9, 2015
I wanted a simplified version, with less thickeners than I had used before and without using added soymilk powder, which gives the yogurt a chalky mouth feel and taste. I thought of using raw cashews, which would add rich flavor and mouth feel, as well as their own thickening power. I'm so glad I thought of that-- I don't know why it took me so long!
This yogurt is the creamy kind, which my husband likes best. You could strain it by hanging it in a cheese bag (like this)if you want a thicker, more concentrated yogurt.
Some important info before you start:
NOTE about non-dairy milk: There are many types of non-dairy milk on the market now, but I use soymilk because it is the most nutritious (7 g protein per cup, compared with 1 g in 1 cup of Silk almond milk). I now blend it with some soaked raw cashews to make yogurt for added creaminess, and they add some thickening power, too. (I have not tried this yogurt with other non-dairy milk.)
IMPORTANT: Scald all of your utensils with boiling water and set aside.
Pour boiling water over the raw cashews to cover in a heat-proof bowl and let sit for at least 10 minutes. Drain in sieve.
Blend the soaked, drained cashews in the scalded blender jar with 2 cups of the milk from an UN-opened carton (replace cap on the carton until next step), the tapioca starch and agar powder until VERY smooth.
Pour the blended mixture into the batter bowl. microwave on High for 2 minutes. Whisk well and whisk in the remaining milk until thoroughly mixed and smooth. (You can use the immersion blender if you prefer, but don't let it get too frothy.)
Insert the candy thermometer into the mixture and check the temperature. It will probably be at least over 120 degrees F. You want to get it down to 90-105 degrees F before adding the starter. Cover the bowl loosely with the lid or a clean cloth (not touching the milk mixture). Let it cool down on the counter or in the refrigerator. Check the temperature frequently (washing and scalding the thermometer each time). When the temperature is in the correct range, add the starter and the xanthan or guar gum, whisking with a freshly-washed-and-scalded whisk or immersion blender until smooth. Don't let it get too frothy.
Pour the mixture into your prepared incubating container(s) [see Tips below about incubating methods] and cover. Incubate for about 7 hours. If you incubate longer and the mixture sort of "rises" and separates a bit, you will have to blend it again and it won't be as firm, but will be just fine.
Refrigerate overnight and enjoy! Save 1/4 cup for the next batch.
Nutrition Facts
Either use non-dairy yogurt, such as Nancy's (in Canada) or Wildwood (in the USA)
OR in the USA:
#1.) You can use 3 wide-mouth quart jars with screw-on lids (the plastic lids, preferably) and place them inside an inexpensive Styrofoam cooler or a camp cooler (clean the inside well!) along with 2 quart jars of boiling water (with lids-- and the jar should not touch the yogurt jars). Warm up the cooler with the jars of hot water while you get the yogurt ready. Place the cooler cover firmly in place and cover with an old heavy blanket. You may have to add more hot water to the jars halfway through the incubation time.
#2.) Use a non-electric yogurt incubator, such as the Yogotherm, which has a 2-quart plastic container nestled in a Styrofoam liner inside of a canister. (I insulate this with blankets on the outside as well.)
3.) If you prefer a glass jar, check out the Euro Cuisine 2L Yogurt Maker. They sell a glass jar that fits into the machine in place of the plastic one that comes with it.
#4) Use stainless steel thermos bottles: Almost fill wide-mouth thermos bottles-- such as two 32 ounce bottles-- with boiling water, cover loosely and let sit for 10 minutes. Pour out the water and add your inoculated yogurt mixture at the right temperature. Secure the lids and wrap the thermoses in two or three terry towels, or a small quilt. Set it in a warm, draft-free place for required time.
+1) Oops! I forgot one-- evidently the new Instant Pot, among other things, functions as a yogurt incubator. PS: I'm getting one for Christmas, so I will update if there are any changes needed when made in the Instant Pot.
2 comments:
I got an Instant Pot two weeks ago. I tried the yogurt making ability and it was successful. You can either just put the soy milk in the metal inner liner or you can place glass jars holding the soy milk inside the metal liner. I used glass jars. It is good to know that you used Silk soy milk successfully. I had been told it was important to use a boxed shelf-stable milk with no ingredients except soy beans and water. The Silk will be much less expensive.
You will love the Instant Pot. I have cooked plain beans, and brown rice, and several veggie stews. So nice to set it and walk away, not needing to hover over the pot.

Thanks for posting, Joanne. I never thought of using shelf-stable Silk. I don't know that I've ever seen it around here, but I'll check it out. Maybe it would be thicker with shelf-stable.

"If religion isn't the greatest threat to rationality and scientific progress, what is?" Daniel Dennett, the American philosopher, is not mincing his words ahead of tonight's Guardian/Agora debate.
In a typically combative contribution he adds: "You don't have to be religious to be crazy, but it helps."
His opponent, Robert (Lord) Winston, the distinguished fertility expert well known to British television audiences for his programmes about science and religion, seeks to distinguish between crazy fanaticism and responsible religious belief. For him, atheists like Dennett and Richard Dawkins share the utter certainty of the people they attack.
"In reality, both religion and science are expressions of man's uncertainty. Perhaps the paradox is that certainty, whether it be in science or religion, is dangerous," argues Winston.
The certainty is that it will be an interesting evening.

MMTPT#235 ~ Black and white or is it white and black; Geneva's memory has gone slack
3 Attachment(s)
Welcome to Teapot Tuesday
the Sisterhood of the Traveling Teaparty
and Challenge #235
Black and white or is it white and black; Geneva's memory has gone slack
Note: Anyone is welcome to play! You automatically become a Teapotter the first time you play in our challenge. Also, you do not have to write a story. You just have to be inspired by the teapot or by the story about this week's location! Have fun! If this is your first Teapot Tuesday Challenge, please mention that in your commentary so we can be sure to greet you properly, in pure Teapot Tuesday fashion! Your participation in Destination Station is 100% voluntary and not at all required. Just have fun!
The Rest of the Story:
Miss Geneva is known far and wide as a seamstress of world acclaim. No one within miles can match her precision, her style, or her ability to dress you so as to hide your less than fine points. All day long she snips, and cuts, and stitches and sings to herself as her blind and half psychotic parrot named Bernadine cackles loudly and announces each entry to the shop with a loud squalk and "Hi'ya Sweetie". And women proudly proclaim that their new dress is an exclusive Miss Geneva one off.
Valentine's Day is fast approaching and Mrs Astoria's annual Valentine's Day Ball will be the place to be. This year the theme is to be black and white. "Oh my word", wonders Miss Geneva. "How will I ever come up with enough variations of black and white. She has orders for dresses in black with white spots, white with black spots, black and white florals, black and white with swirls, black and white toile, black and white harlequin diamonds, black and white stripes, black and white abstract motifs and even some for all black. "Oh my", she thought, "I'm seeing spots and stripes swirling all together everywhere. And to not help matters, Bernadine can be heard all day cackling:
Black and white or white and black
white and black or black and white
cackle, cackle, teehee
The day before Honoria Astoria's fitting is here, and suddenly Geneva can't remember if her dress is to be black with white dots or white with black dots. "Oh dear", she cries as she paces back and forth, to and fro looking for her lists to refresh her memory. She's quite wearing herself into a tizzy of a tall order and still she hasn't solved the dilemma. She daren't call and ask as then everyone will think she's gone soft in the head and if she doesn't figure this out; her little shop could be ruined. Above all the noise in her head, she hears Bernadine cackling away but a different refrain:
Black and white and white and black
white and black and black and white
black and white and white and black
white and black and black and white
By golly Bernadine! I have an idea that will solve this whole mess. I'll use both. Black with small white dots on the bodice will make Honoria's ample bosom less imposing and a billowing skirt of white with black dots will hide her carrot stick legs. And with a brilliant red sash across the bodice and tied in back it will surely be regal enough. That's it ol' girl you've done it. So she raced around the tiny shop grabbing up scissors and thread and fabrics and started cutting, snipping, stitching and snipping some more. Soon she had it together enough for a fitting and just in time too. Honoria would be here within the hour. "Time for a spot of tea" she thought as she admired her handiwork.
Finally Honoria arrived for her fitting and was truly amazed at the regal creation presented to her. "Well, I'll be" she stated. "This is so elegant and stately. I know I told you black with white dots and then changed it to white with black dots. But just look at how you did both and it is stunning. Simply stunning" "I'll be the talk of the town for sure" she said, as she swished and swirled around the fitting room. "This will be the best ball ever" she proclaimed. "I'll be back in 2 days to pick it up". Geneva sank down into a huge rocker and uttered a huge sigh of relief.
Challenge Translation:
Bring black and white; be it spots, dots, florals, swirls, toile, stripes, or diamonds. Just remember to bring a touch of another color so we don't lose you in the 42,000 teapotters swirling around.
EPEC ~ (extra points for extra cookies):
Bring both black with white and white with black for extra cookies. Just remember no cranky psychotic parrots or you go to the back door.
