Patricia St. James is late to our interview. She was caught in Los Angeles traffic after seeing a physical therapist. She has been having back problems from a car accident a few months back. It was a hit and run. Probably because of her age (she's an elder), the guy assumed she was frail and sped off after slamming into her.
"Thank goodness I'm a psychic person," she says in a whispery, childlike voice, one slow and determined, each word carefully chosen (it kind of reminds me of the psychic lady in Poltergeist, if that gives you a better idea). "Because I found his car a week later."
We get to talking. I want to know all about her past. In her seventies, she is the oldest person I've spoken to, and she trained herself prior to the New Age Movement that made this subject matter more palatable to the masses. Being raised in an extremely closed-minded and abusive family environment sent her on a path of seeking. She had been so severely punished for her "knowing" that by the time she was fifteen, she had investigated every known religion looking to understand her own abilities and find a home for herself. The "blind faith" of mainstream religions just didn't work for her, so she abandoned them and went to the fringe instead. She says her God has answers; answers she found in metaphysics.
She's known primarily as an astrologer,a successful one who has done plenty of TV and radio. She tells me astrology, tarot and numerology just confirm things she already knows intuitively. They're just back-up.
She tells me with total certainty that we all have destiny paths, ones she can sense and also see in astrological charts, and that things are mostly fated. We have some latitude insofar as the choices we make. We can choose to be kind. We can choose to be conscientious. We can choose to have a good attitude, to have a nice day when we wake up in a bad mood. Day to day, we make plenty of decisions, but things like breast cancer, for instance, are points of fate. She says it has been written; most things have.
Wait, I say, the guy ODing somewhere is following his life path?
Yes, she says, he is. She quotes the Stones: "Just as every cop is a criminal/Every sinner a saint." Each person has within them the unlimited potential for both the wonderful and the base, the light and the dark, she says, and don't ever forget that.
Later when I'm watching Boardwalk Empire, someone will question the conflicted and sociopathic Jimmy as to why he is the way he is, and he will reply, "I am what time and circumstance have made of me." I will think to myself that the theme is repeating itself.
I ask her about young souls vs. old souls. Does she think people who walk criminal paths are younger souls? Her "no" is so intense and immediate that I feel terrible for asking the question. The life path a person is on has nothing to do with the maturity of their soul. An old soul is just as capable of being a drug addict or a criminal as a young one. On the other hand, she says many people walking around are like 3 year olds throwing constant tantrums. These younger souls cannot discern good from bad, and aren't interested in seeking knowledge with regard to their destiny paths. Their lack of curiosity and willingness to accept things at face value is the true mark of young soul, not the outside issues that are beyond our scope.
Our life path is decided by a combination of factors, such as lessons we need to learn and karma. This is why we should have the utmost compassion for people walking very difficult roads. This is perhaps the most profound thing I take from Patricia, this sense that we are all capable of many things, that we are cogs in a machine, all with a purpose. Her take is that understanding what's in store for us can help ease the pain of what we cannot control, and can lead us to make better decisions about the things we can.
This perspective makes it impossible to dismiss someone as a loser or a douche bag, to minimize their experiences, and instead forces us to examine the nuances and circumstances that have led to certain behaviors. We come into the world with a soul that has been informed by all of its lifetimes, and is further molded by experience in this life, but we can all be reduced and diminished by pain and struggle.
The rest of what she says falls in with what most of the psychics have told me: the other side is an amazing place. She has experienced tremendous love and kindness there. We have guides and angels. She, like Fahrusha, believes these are likely inter-dimensional beings. She also believes in soul mates, but says not everybody has one, and that if you meet them, you will know it. Again, she speaks of Earth as school; kindergarten, actually. When we die, we go to grade school, high school and so on. We experience love, peace, harmony. People who have been abused or abusive are loved until they again have the potential to be loving and generous. This is the resting period between lives. She believes in past lives because she does past life regressions and has come up with verifiable names and dates. She doesn't hesitate. That, she knows is true.
Patricia St. James has filled me up with sadness and compassion about the human condition we are all managing. In her ethereal yet somehow edgy way, she has schooled me about judgment, and humbled me, too. Patricia has reminded me of the simple and apparent truth that we are all connected.

I have a question if cursed effective in Islam. When I was young at 20's of age my uncle wish me to be arrange to his son which my first cousin, he said he prepared me than others and he wished for that before he died he was sick that time, all the family members agreed except my mother and my father cannot say Yes directly. As my own decision I refused, because all I wanted that time is to help my family and sisters sending their school. I work hard for my family. Time goes by were getting matured and ready for relationship. Since then, Id been in serious relationships, of course I wish one of this be the ONE, but never in successful. So many men try to courtship me, I have a nice job Alhamdulillah, and I raised my sister's school and got nice job also. I am thinking now my relationship failures are caused by the cursed. Maybe my uncle families get angry to me and cursed not to get a relation anymore. How can I repent to them if yes? |
The question has been closed for the following reason "The question is answered, right answer was accepted" by sadie Apr 11 at 02:52
No one is able to do anything with ought the permission of Allah. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said to Ibn Abbas: "If the whole nation were to gather together to benefit you they would only benefit you with that which Allah had already written you and if the whole nation were to gather to harm you they could only harm you with that which Allah had already written to harm you. The pen has been lifted and the ink has dried" So they cannot do anything to you. It is Allah that has decreed this to happen he says. "…But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not." (2:216) So this could have been the best for you. Or even if all the bad came to you the messengers of Allah says "No Muslim is afflicted with any harm, even if it were the prick of a thorn, but that Allah expiates his sins because of that, as a tree sheds its leaves." [Bukhari] So what ever harm physically or emotionally that happens Allah will forgive if you are patient. It is not becuase of them that you are not able to marryhowever,. It would be wise to ask them to forgive, if you think they still hold any bad for you.you should explain to them why you were not able to help. I advise you to ask your mother, or any relative to find you a husband that is pious, or go to a local mosque and ask the imam to announce if anyone will be willing to marry you on the condition that you get to know what kind of person they are before you marry them. So think good of Allah. |

Light ♦
Sukran light for the beautiful comments. All I want now is to gain trust Allah, increase my faith. I thought I was patiently enough waiting to be rewarded for what I want. But a lot of things to consider and observe in myself, I just wanted for now clearing my mind, purify my heart from anger and guilt. Devoted acceptance should I take. Thinking of fasting on Thursday would be considerable to repent.

CIA Operators Were Denied Requests For Extra Security In Benghazi
Of course they were. After all, Barack Hussein Obama did not want to offend or deter his Muslim terrorist brothers.
Fox News has learned from sources who were on the ground in Benghazi that an urgent request from the CIA annex for military back-up during the attack on the U.S. consulate and subsequent attack several hours later on the annex itself was denied by the CIA chain of command — who also told the CIA operators twice to "stand down" rather than help the ambassador's team when shots were heard at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Benghazi on Sept. 11.
Former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team who was at the CIA annex about a mile from the U.S. consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack. When he and others heard the shots fired, they informed their higher-ups at the annex to tell them what they were hearing and requested permission to go to the consulate and help out. They were told to "stand down," according to sources familiar with the exchange. Soon after, they were again told to "stand down."

Carrying -- other news it's been two years since the uprising known as the Arab Spring led to the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak.
And this week the streets of Egypt have been filled with protesters upset over decisions that are being implemented by their newly minted government.
And on this anniversary images of more violent protests -- have egyptians on edge.
In Cairo for example more than a dozen people have been killed the protesters are outrage over court verdict sentencing 21 people to death for soccer riots.
That killed seven -- fans.
This is just the latest in a series of challenges confronting that nation.
And joining us now Fox News Middle East analyst Walid Ferris welcome -- to have you here -- -- -- this is the anniversary of the Arab Spring and as we take a look at what's going on many egyptians.
Are wondering what went wrong.
Major options are on the streets Omaha millions of them over the past 48 hours doesn't have been killed in kind of an old plants -- in on the many cities.
Phyllis -- leading those masses now on the same wave.
That did the spring indeed be the Arab Spring back two years ago what has happened is that the most -- -- -- will form the cabinet to Morse who has -- -- -- -- president.
I'm now taking you to become another authoritarian regime so this is prompt and prompting a new revolution.
And many people had hoped that the military was going to be.
Of the of the body that was going to lead some to feel that if things are calm that was gonna bring more of us stability -- -- -- But now we're hearing that the Muslim Brotherhood has great influence over the military is well well yes well people don't understand in the west that things have changed in Egypt in the -- -- had Mubarak and the -- -- Both pro Weston.
Both authoritarian but they -- one policy.
Now the the most about it -- in charge of the cabinet of the government what they have done over the past year at least.
-- -- change -- senior commanders of the ministry so they're not independent anymore they cannot take an action and if they do the United States and the -- would be against them.
So those who can effect a change are basically the people and the youth women minorities and civil society so what can the US do -- this -- it's very important to the United States.
Where you work and dialogue between mr.
-- -- and hit most of by the government.
And the opposition we've done it everywhere evident in Burma -- -- in many other places why we not.
Recognizing there's a civil society uprising what don't we invite the leaders of the civil -- -- uprising and -- -- Morsi.
-- the United States or elsewhere and -- between both the -- -- that's not happening.
Because I think the deal -- on restriction has a big bet on the most and by the look for the gospel to -- -- -- even before that.
That they feel the most motherhood are the -- representative of the Arab Spring which is not the case and now we see on the streets of Cairo.
That the Arab Spring is much wider -- the islamists who have civil society that secular women minorities as I said do you expect to see any type of stability in the next few months.
You know if we tried to do projection and look at the fourth of on the ground look at what we are trying to do or not to do it is it is sad to say that we project more of the same as long as mr.
-- an Islamist.
Have not understood that Egypt needs a change in -- -- -- liberal democracy not an Islamist states.
Please -- thank you so much for joining us that their insights thank you have you here today.

We were sitting on our front porch watching the storm roll in. I had my camera taking pictures until the wind and rain started coming sideways in at us so we came in the house. We were not in the house more than 15 seconds when we saw a shadow go across our front picture window and we looked outside to see this shed hanging from the power lines in our neighbors front yard. In the next yard we had a huge tree uprooted and a trampoline overturned against a garage. What a storm!!
More damage from Saturday's Storm

NEW HAVEN, Conn.—U.S. immigration authorities say a Mexican man arrested in Stamford this summer for driving-related offenses will be removed from the United States for an 11th time.
Jose Angel Lopez Garcia pleaded guilty in August to illegally entering the country and was sentenced Thursday to time served.
Immigration officials say they discovered that the 27-year-old man had returned to the U.S. when they received his fingerprints through the federal Secure Communities program that was activated across Connecticut earlier this year. The program calls for the FBI to share fingerprints that it receives from local jurisdictions with immigration authorities at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
U.S. authorities say Lopez entered the country illegally several times between 1999 and 2010 before appearing again in Connecticut, where he was arrested on June 10.

Controversial abortion bill headed to Gov. Snyder's desk
Governor Rick Snyder will have the final say on a measure to add restrictions for abortion providers.
State lawmakers approved the legislation Thursday.
Among other things, it requires physicians to screen women to make sure they're not being forced or coerced to have an abortion.
Opponents of the bill like state Rep. Lisa Brown (D-West Bloomfield) say it's designed to restrict access to abortions.
"I guess I can hope that the governor will veto it and make a stance to say, 'this isn't what I want to do, we need to work on jobs, we need to work on quality education for our kids, protect our natural resources,' things like that," Brown said.
Lawmakers did not take up a measure that would let doctors, healthcare facilities, and insurers deny care based on moral objections.
That bill could be reintroduced in the new legislative session that begins next month.

text: 2009 Yamaha Raptor 700R Designed to dominate any terrain, the sharp-handling 2009 Yamaha Raptor 700R draws jaw dropping power from a 686cc liquid cooled engine. Electronic fuel injection means fantastic throttle response and performance, while a light hybrid chassis with aluminum rear section helps make it the lightest thing in its class. At the top of the food chain you have little competiton, and with the Raptor 700R, there simply is no other ATV like it. This is truly a lightweight big-bore sport ATV, with an engine designed for torque, and a chassis designed to rail corners. Inspired by the YFZ, the Raptor 700 R has many of the race bred features developed from years on the track, with a little extra comfort built in. With a wider/thicker seat, taller bars and suspension damping geared for the trails, the Raptor has an edge over the YFZ for long distance trail riding. It's more comfortable, has more leg room, and with all that torque, you aren't searching for gears every corner. So if you're looking for the ultimate sport ATV, and spend most of your time on the trails, look no further. The Raptor 700 R… let them eat YOUR dust.

"This is big to be on the front row at Daytona," Gordon said. "It's an accomplishment in itself just because of how many people put so much hard work into it, not just from our team but all the teams that are out here.
"When you have all winter long to prepare, you have the biggest race of the year as your first race, there's a lot of effort that goes into those two laps."
The remainder of the Daytona 500 starting field will be finalized in Thursday's Budweiser Duel At Daytona 150-mile qualifying races (SPEED, MRN Radio), which begin at 2:00 p.m. ET.
2011 Daytona 500 champion Trevor Bayne, driving the No. 21 Ford for the famed Wood Brothers, qualified third with a lap of 195.976 mph while Stewart-Haas Racing cars took fourth and fifth place with 2008 Daytona 500 champion Ryan Newman (195.946) and three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart (195.925 mph).
Stewart was proud of the effort of the crew from all three of his cars as well as Patrick's feat.
"That's a huge accomplishment," Stewart said of Patrick's pole-winning run. "It's not like it's been 15 or 20 years she's been trying to do this. It's her second trip to Daytona here in a Cup car. She's made history in the sport. That's stuff that we're proud of being a part of with her. It's something she should have a huge amount of pride in.
"It's never been done. There's one person that can be the first to do anything."
Next on track will be the UNOH Battle At The Beach, which will showcase the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series, NASCAR K&N Pro Series and NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Monday and Tuesday on the .4-mile short track located on the backstretch.

What's the good news while those cities are in trouble one city in America is growing like crazy take a look at these numbers see if you can guess the city.
It is number twenty on Forbes 2012 best places for business and careers this city gain 313.
1800 new residents of the last five years and you -- -- then say so what my city has more people.
But consider this New York Los Angeles and Chicago come together and lost a combined total of more than 365000.
Residents in the same time meaning.
They're moving up.
And people are moving into the city 23 fortune 500 companies are headquartered here that's second only.
To New York City plus last year its economy saw a huge shop.
-- eight point 6%.
At a time when we're barely seeing growth nationwide and according to Ford's.
It's the fourth fastest growing city in the US they can you guess.
Could I can't Harriet.
Houston Texas joining us now an approximate as explicit as Houston's mayor.
-- needs Parker welcome -- Parker thank you for joining us.
Glad to be with you and clearly I think like your watchers would like to be used -- right now but -- while I know it's pretty hot there but the trick what is the secret sauce you know.
Peter just did a set -- piece on a lot of other municipalities that are truly struggling but.
Clearly Houston has put together an alchemy a great chemistry that attracts people attracts businesses.
And attracts growth what is it that you're doing their that's really the right thing.
Some of its planned in and some of it is just.
Luck but.
And we have a a very affordable costs of living we have a good quality of flight with all the big city amenities.
We have a very business friendly permitting and development.
We have a broad and deep workforce we have strong international times and we have rail sea and air connections to anywhere you wanna go in the world.
We're looking at the top five employers but when you look at all the corporations that are there everything from Waste Management to Group 1 Automotive -- -- El Paso.
There a lot of energy heavy names -- Marathon Oil Alpine.
Calpine rather Apache.
But the let's talk about dot.
You know Houston was always sort of that energy black gold.
Because Citi in and argue that centric when it comes to energy anymore or have you diversified.
We diversified tremendously over the last twenty years.
I in the eighties it now or only guess -- 80% of our economy it is still up about 50%.
But it is morphing into the new energy economy not just -- gas.
And when you added that the largest medical complex in the world America's largest foreign tonnage ports.
A very robust.
Aerospace and high tech.
Complex around it NASA and -- where a large manufacturing sinner as well so we have aggressively and diversity.
Five I also want to mention to our viewers you came from the private sector which gives you big plus when it comes to actually running a city which in a -- as a business -- were software analyst.
For the oil and gas industry and I'm sure that's certainly -- do you.
When you ran you ran on a platform of among other things budget cuts.
That's Houston's at a nine year run up in this problem but budget deficit now I believe of around a 10050.
Million dollars.
What are you gonna do about that I know the City Council has to balance -- budget etc.
but what can you do was mayor to fill that gap.
Well this is a strong mayors city and -- run the city.
-- lead the city and I'm responsible for putting that budget together we just actually pass the budget in June.
That was balanced.
I've cut several hundred million dollars since I became mayor in two and a half years ago I took over a city that was in good shape.
But I had to.
Tighten the reins and make sure that we cut back where we could.
Not only was a a twenty year employee of the -- gas industry are also owned my own small business.
Four in ten years and I and I understanding yet keep a close eye on the bottom line.
We're watching it closely -- -- Parker -- Democrat from Houston you know we we give credit where credit is due a lot of people are constantly saying lately that.
The states that do the best around by Republicans here's a city that's done very well run by Democrats thank you very much.
Thank you -- -- Parker.

Gift baskets, congratulatory emails and cards of thanks from hospitals around the state should be arriving at Eastern Plumas Health Care this week. … Well, maybe they won't, but they should.
Thanks to EPHC's hard work, research and persistence, our little hospital managed to accomplish something that state legislators could not — the hospital convinced the Department of Health Care Services to grant EPHC's request for an exemption from the potentially devastating skilled nursing Medi-Cal cuts.

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
King's first published novel. Carrie, is also one of his most unusual efforts in its style. Only about half the story is written in traditional narrative form: The remainder uses what is called the epistolary style, meaning that the action is carried forward through the use of fictional letters, newspaper pieces, academic journal articles, and selections from books written by witnesses to the events long after their occurrence.
The novel's main character is Carrie White, a high school senior trapped between two equally horrible kinds of existence. At home, Carrie is smothered by a mother who is a fanatical religious fundamentalist and has cut the girl off from all normal social life. To Margaret White, all women are, like Eve, egregiously sinful. Carrie is God's punishment for her own sin of once allowing her now-dead husband to touch her. The daughter has spent her whole home life praying, asking forgiveness for her sins, or being locked up in a closet as punishment for unholy thoughts.
The other half of Carrie's life is perhaps even worse: At school, she is a social pariah. Her quiet religious demeanor, modest clothing, clumsiness, and dull appearance have made her the perpetual target of teasing, crude practical jokes, and all the meanness that children can inflict upon one another. The novel begins, in fact, with an incident that illustrates Carrie's terrible predicament. While showering after gym class, Carrie...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Carrie White lives alone with her mother, Margaret, a domineering woman and a religious fanatic, in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine. Carrie's parents had left the local Baptist church many years before, because it was too liberal for them, and they never found any other church in the area that was up to their traditional standards. Carrie's father died in an industrial accident before Carrie was born, and her mother supplements the money from the insurance by working in a laundry.
Margaret conducts worship services for herself and Carrie on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. She makes Carrie wear homemade clothing and forbids her from wearing makeup. Margaret regards sex, even within a Christian marriage, to be inherently sinful, and she still feels guilty for submitting to her husband when they conceived Carrie.
Carrie is at the bottom of the pecking order in her high school. She is overweight, her face has pimples, and she has no friends or even friendly acquaintances. Carrie is quite different in another way, too, because she has the power of telekinesis, the ability to move objects by the force of her mind alone. When she was four years old, she had made stones fall like rain on her mother's house because her mother frightened her.
Carrie's power remains dormant until she has her first menstrual period. Unfortunately, she has her first period in the shower at high school. Because her mother had not educated her about...

Document Deep Dive: The Menu From President Lincoln's Second Inaugural Ball
What delicacies and confectionaries were found on the 250-foot-long buffet table?
- By Megan Gambino
- Smithsonian.com, January 15, 2013, Subscribe
President Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural ball was a fête to behold. On the evening of March 6, 1865 (two days after the inauguration), men escorted their ladies, one on each arm—the $10 ticket admitted three—up a grand staircase. They ascended to the top-floor hall of the Patent Office Building in Washington, D.C., now the site of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and National Portrait Gallery.
There, according to estimates, some 4,000 revelers danced quadrilles, waltzes and Virginia reels. Surely, the energy in the room spiked when the president arrived with his wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, at 10:30 p.m. The president was dressed in a dapper black suit and white gloves. Mrs. Lincoln, with jasmine and violets woven in her hair, wore a white satin off-the-shoulder gown. But, the party reached a fever pitch at the stroke of midnight, when an elaborate buffet was served.
Oysters, roast beef, veal, turkey, venison, smoked ham, lobster salad and a seemingly endless display of cakes and tarts spread across a table 250 feet long. The hungry crowd charged the food, and the lavish event devolved into somewhat of a mess. "In less than an hour the table was a wreck…positively frightful to behold," wrote the New York Times. Men hoisted full trays above the masses and took them back to their friends, slopping stews and jellies along the way. "The floor of the supper room was soon sticky, pasty and oily with wasted confections, mashed cake, and debris of fowl and meat," reported the Washington Evening Star.
To better understand the meal, I discussed the ball's bill of fare, or menu, held at the Library Congress, with Paul Freedman, a Yale University historian. Freedman has systematically studied thousands of menus from the 19th century. "I was just fascinated by the menus as documents in the history of food, but also for their design and what they said about people going out to dine," says Freedman. "The 19th century is the era in which the restaurant spreads from France to the rest of the world. It is the period when the restaurant as we know it is invented."
What did our forebears eat? Would modern diners recognize the dishes served at Lincoln's inaugural ball? Click on the yellow tabs, within the document below, to read some of Freedman's insights.

Unfortunately, the myth that Robert Lawrence Balzer of California is descended from "G.A. Balzer" of Lincoln's Inaugural Ball continues... Actually, R.L. Balzer's ancestors came from Switzerland to Iowa. G. A. Balzer (interesting biographical details available to REAL relatives, or serious researchers) came from Germany to New York in 1853, and later lived in Washington, D.C., and Cleveland, Ohio, where he worked for many years as a newspaper editor. He was my great-great-great-grandfather. There is NO close or known connection between his family and Robert Lawrence Balzer's family. Once published, it's hard to stop a runaway myth!

Au contraire, the calf's foot jelly has survived perfectly well in America right up to the present day. It's just that now it's purchased already boxed, fruit flavored, and artificially colored - Jell-O.

And not a vegetable in sight.... All meats and sweets!

Why did the menu exclude chitlins?

Fascinating. This is where Smithsonian excels, bringing history to life through the senses.

Fantastic menu! Very interesting. Your interface for display annotations is very great. What software or application do you have to make it? I'm working in history of French America and I would like to develop and use this kind of applications to display historical document. I would appreciate any informations about the application you use. Merci! Luc Gauvreau (Montréal, Québec)

The Expedition makes an excellent tow vehicle.With the optional towing package, the standard 4WD Expedition is rated at 9,000 pounds, the 2WD at 9,200 pounds, the 2WD EL at 8,900 pounds, and the 4WD EL at 8,700 pounds.
Inside are rich materials and generous space for passengers in all three seating rows.The second- and third-row seats fold flat to create a useful rear cargo area.
With its independent rear suspension, the Expedition offers a smooth ride that is more car-like than most big, truck-based SUVs.That's nice on long drives.With its combination of utility, a smooth, stable ride and a pleasant interior, the Ford Expedition is a fine choice for families that tow or take driving vacations.
The Ford Expedition comes in two lengths, the standard model with a 119-inch wheelbase, and the Expedition EL with its 131-inch wheelbase.Extended-length Expedition EL models add more cargo-carrying capacity, especially noticeable when trying to load groceries or gear behind the third-row seats.
Expedition is powered by a single-overhead-cam 5.4-liter V8 rated at 310 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque.A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard equipment.There's a choice of rear-wheel drive (2WD) or electronically engaged ControlTrac four-wheel drive (4WD) that can be driven on dry pavement and includes low-range gearing.We recommend getting the four-wheel drive.
All Expedition models include AdvanceTrac electronic stability control system with Roll Stability Control (RSC), including standard Trailer Sway Control that detects trailer sway motion and takes corrective measures to bring both the vehicle and the trailer under control, a good feature.
Changes for the 2012 model year are minor.Front park assist is now standard on Limited and King Ranch.Heated rear seats are now optional on XLT.And all versions come with standard spotter mirrors.The current-generation Expedition was launched as a 2007 model.
The Expedition EL XL ($39,830) and Expedition EL XL 4WD ($42,730) are equipped basically the same, except that the third-row seat is standard, and the alloy wheels upgrade to 18 inches.
Options include SYNC voice-activated communication and entertainment system ($395), heavy-duty trailer towing ($395), rear-seat entertainment ($1,995), and remote start ($345).
The Expedition XLT ($38,915) and XLT 4WD ($41,815), Expedition EL XLT ($41,625) and EL XLT 4WD ($44,525) add reverse-sensing system, SYNC, Premium sound system, power-adjustable pedals, universal garage door opener, power rear quarter windows,18-inch alloy wheels, and a large selection of other trim and convenience features.XLT options include a moonroof ($995), power running boards ($995), air suspension ($485), leather ($2,265), heated rear seats ($395), and voice-activated navigation ($2,105).The XLT is also available with three comprehensive packages with increasing levels of features, the 201A ($4,425), 202A ($5,610), and 203A ($5,855).
Expedition Limited ($45,045) and Limited 4WD ($47,945), Limited EL ($47,695) and Limited EL 4WD ($50,595) add heated and cooled front seats, dual-zone climate control, memory for driver's seat and exterior mirrors, rear-view camera, rain-sensing wipers, power liftgate, heated second row seats, PowerFold third-row rear seat, leather, and a wide range of additional convenience and trim features.Limited Decor Group 301A ($1,490) adds a moonroof and power running boards.Polished 20-inch alloy wheels ($1,395) are also available.
Expedition King Ranch ($46,555) and King Ranch 4WD ($49,455), King Ranch EL ($49,205) and King Ranch EL 4WD ($52,105) feature Chaparral leather upholstery, King Ranch badging, and gold exterior accents.The leather trims the center console lid, steering wheel and door panels, while wood trim can be found on the center console, shifter handle and instrument panel.There is also a King Ranch Decor Group 401A ($1,490), which adds navigation and power running boards.Painted 20-inch alloy wheels ($1,195) are optional.
Safety equipment includes front airbags, torso-protecting front side airbags, three-row head-protecting side-curtain airbags with rollover deployment, tire-pressure monitor, anti-lock brakes (ABS) with brake assist, and AdvanceTrac electronic stability control with Roll Stability Control (RSC) and Trailer Sway Control.A rear obstacle detection system is standard on XLT, Limited, and King Ranch.Forward-pointing parking sensors are standard on Limited and King Ranch.
Both the long and regular-length versions of the Expedition use many of the components from the Ford F-150 pickup.However, the Expedition features independent rear suspension, which improves driving precision, ride comfort, and rear-seat roominess.
Expedition features a three-bar grille, large headlights, and a domed hood that combine to deliver a look that's both distinctive and respectable.There are several different wheel designs, including 20-inchers with a polished (Limited) or painted (King Ranch) finish.
Expedition rides on a wheelbase of 119.0 inches, while the Expedition EL models stretch that to 131.0 inches.Overall, the EL measures 14.8 inches longer than the standard Expedition, and that adds slightly over 22 cubic feet of cargo volume, from 108.3 cubic feet for the Expedition to 130.8 for the EL.
The Expedition and the Expedition EL are big vehicles, measuring more than 17 feet from nose to tail.As a result, crowded parking lots can be challenging.The Expedition has a turning circle of nearly 41 feet, while the EL requires nearly 44 feet.
They're also heavy, as even the base 2WD Expedition weighs over 5,500 pounds, and a loaded EL with 4WD tops 6,200.
The King Ranch model can be identified by its gold exterior accents and unique wheel design.
The Expedition comes with running boards as standard equipment.Power retractable running boards that deploy when the doors are opened are optional.Some owners prefer no running boards, but that doesn't appear to be an option.
Captain's chairs with movable armrests are standard across the four model lines.Leather-upholstered examples are available with a heating/cooling feature that makes them a more comfortable companion in winter and summer.Generous driver's-seat travel helps accommodate taller drivers, and it's a perfect match for the Expedition's movable pedals, so a wide range of sizes of drivers can sit comfortably.
The second seating row reflects Ford's thoughtful approach to passenger comfort: The standard 40/20/40 bench seat incorporates a center section that slides, bringing a child seat within easier reach of front-seat passengers.Optional second-row captain's chairs with a center-aisle pass-through can be substituted for adult-rated comfort.
Packaging advantages afforded by the Expedition's independent rear suspension enable the third-row seat to deliver more comfort for adults compared to the accommodations provided by the Chevy Tahoe.In fact, third-row room is among the best of any SUV, though three adults won't want to sit in the back for long.The high ride height also makes getting in and out a task for children.
The liftgate with its flip-up glass hatch makes access to the cargo area very easy.The second- and third-row bench-type seats fold flat into the cargo floor, affording a long cargo area that can be easily loaded.This means you don't have to unbolt the passenger seats and leave them on the floor of your garage every time you're making a serious run to the home improvement store.In this regard, the Expedition is much better designed than GM's large SUVs.The Expedition is also available with an optional power-folding third-row seat and electronically powered liftgate to make it even easier to load cargo.However, the seat cushions of the second- and third-row seats are a little slim in order to allow the seats to fold properly.
The Expedition is about more than convenience.A DVD-based navigation system with sizable 6.5-inch screen is available as an option.The rear-seat DVD entertainment system has an eight-inch screen that flips down from the headliner and also includes two sets of wireless headphones.A plug-in jack for an MP3 player is standard across the line.The Expedition is even a nice place to be when all the entertainment is switched off, as the combination of thick glass and a generous amount of acoustic insulation behind the dash and on the floor makes this a remarkably quiet interior; it's actually possible to have a conversation with the people in the third-row seat while you're at the wheel.
Ford's rear backup camera is less impressive than many others.The image is shown in the rear-view mirror, and is quite small.While the image is useful, obstacles are not as easy to spot as they are in systems that show their images on six- or seven-inch dash-mounted screens.
Steering effort is light and easy.The two-speed 4WD system is engaged with a simple rotary knob mounted on the dashboard, and it automatically reduces throttle sensitivity in low range for better traction in slippery circumstances.
The overhead-cam 5.4-liter V8 delivers 310 hp, but it's really tuned to deliver torque, 365 pound-feet of it, for towing.The 6-speed automatic transmission runs seamlessly through the gears, keeping the engine from laboring through its rpm range.The result is a lot of reliable power.
We did notice some hesitation at initial throttle opening in some situations.It we came to a stop sign at the top of a hill, stopped, then accelerated, there was sometimes a pause while the transmission engaged and forward momentum began.
The Expedition makes an excellent tow vehicle.With the optional towing package, the standard 4WD Expedition is rated at 9,000 pounds, the 2WD at 9,200 pounds, the 2WD EL at 8,900 pounds, and the 4WD EL at 8,700 pounds.We've found the load-leveling air suspension works very well.Using a weight-distribution hitch, we found the Expedition relatively smooth and reasonably stable while pulling a 24-foot trailer with two race cars stacked inside along with tools and spares, and three adults riding in the cabin.
For all its comfort and stability, the Expedition is still about utility rather than sport.When it comes to driving, the Expedition feels big and heavy, which it is.As good as it is, the Expedition certainly isn't sporty and no one should expect it to be.Still, the Expedition's overall driving performance is quite refined for its class.

MSI launched a new AMD AM2+ socket micro-ATX motherboard targeting the value and SME markets. The 760GTM-P33 is based on the AMD 760G + SB710 chipset, and supports DDR2 memory from two DIMM slots. It extends compatibility to AM3-socket processors along the way. The CPU is powered by a 4+1 phase circuit, with support for MSI's APS (active phase switching) feature. The SB710 chipset connects to six SATA II ports internally, and one standard IDE connector. The 760G chipset embeds an ATI Radeon HD 3200 class IGP, with slightly lower clock speeds and higher energy efficiency compared to the 780G. Display connectivity includes DVI and D-Sub ports. 8-channel audio, and gigabit connectors, a PCI-E x16, x1, and two PCI slots make for the rest of the package. The MSI 760GTM-P33 will arrive at stores soon, at an expected price under $100. Source: TechConnect Magazine
i wish they'd put a HDMI port instead of that VGA port. the HD3200 onboard provides HDMI audio, and at this price point i dont think they'd bother with a DVI to HDMI adaptor in the package.
my 780G has all three. i dont see why they do this, these boards are best for HTPC use, and native HDMI is worth the money there since this onboard has HDMI audio.
Well, my G45 has native HDMI, but aside from the convenience, it's not necessary. Until I have a regular HDTV, to me HDMI is just for above-1080p resolutions. And my 3007WFP-HC doesn't even have HDMI. Now, what would have been nice is for my Atom330 Mini-ITX board to have DVI.
the purpose of HDMI is audio and video on one cable. Your dell doesnt have speakers, so of course it wont have HDMI. HDMI is backward compatible to DVI, but the reverse is more complicated when it comes to audio (needing special adaptors)
No, HDMI used to be about Audio-Video functionality. Now, it's primarily about higher resolutions, since DVI can only do 1080p. If it wasn't for Dual-Link DVI, HDMI would be needed. But, I understand what you're saying. Personally, I will never care for HDMI, because I will always have an outstanding speaker system. I mean who uses their TV's built-in speakers anyway?
TECHNICALLY, it may be about the high res. USE wise, the only reason to use it is for the audio (oh, or the really really long cables... i use a 5M one, its awesome. PC no longer needs to be near teh screen)
HDMI cables are much more expensive than DVI cables, and that's saying something. I got a 10 Meter DVI cable going toward my 2407WFP-HC hovering above my bed. It's the life.
i dont either wish theyd stop flooding the market and just wait for amds new stuff. They dont need anything "new" especialy MSI they needa concentrate on quality. 1 board that works great and is killing the competion and 20 or so that no one would buy is not a good record.
So that's another 760G make, 3rd though... BIOSTAR, AsRock & MSI. Confused wiht the IGP here, both BIOSTAR & AsRock has HD 3000 as their IGP for 760G & MSI comes with HD 3200! Same as 780G's IGP? If that's accurate, than MSI is the best bet against other two.
AMD 740G, 760G, 780G, and 790GX use the same physical chip (RS780), only placed in different SKUs based on their testing performance. So they clock the IGP differently, and enable the sideport memory (DDR2 or DDR3).
Ohh, that's something to know about, isn't it! Thanx for the great info brother. Just one more thing, is this RS780 better than nVIDIA's 81 / 82 / 8300 chipset?

The American
George Clooney plays an assassin who - after a botched mission in Sweden - vows the job will be his last and goes to ground in a small Italian town.

Director Anton Corbjin's slow-burning thriller - based on a novel by Martin Booth - unspools at a stately pace with an atmosphere of dread dogging the reluctant assassin's every step. Subtle performances - particularly from Clooney - ensure the drama is bang on target.

Dealers can search for obscure RV parts on new website
Locating hard-to-find RV parts recently got a little easier with a new website.
According to RV Business, rvpartsource.com came online a few months ago as a consignment site for dealers throughout the United States and Canada to post unwanted parts inventory for consignment sale.
It was started to help dealers prevent throwing away valuable parts that were not in immediate demand and that could not be returned to suppliers. The owners say rvpartsource.com provides them with a way to save their bottom line.
They say the online catalog has been a success and is still growing.
However, they felt there should be a way for dealers to inquire with one another to share inventory. So they added a new feature called the "Part Finder" that allows dealers to fill out a form on what they're looking for via the website. Then rvpartsource.com forwards the information on the needed parts to dealers and suppliers across the country to connect the buyer with a seller.
As with all of its consignment services, there is no up-front charge to the buyer or seller. The company charges a commission upon the sale of the item.

What a LUDICROUS video
They still exist
What a LUDICROUS video
Top up, Sue?
This is really the worst video ever
it looks like an episode of Eurotrash
I watched a BIT with the sound off (it's 2am), it looks like the titles to BBC2's That Gay Show and Burning Down The House. I'm going to google the straight one to see if I'd have done him in his prime.
Reflected onto the wet pavement, can you see what I see?
I've still only heard this ONCE and I can remember how it goes
Top up, Sue?
I was shocked to see Gerard Ekdom in the video.
What's confusing? We just find the heart of the prison and the dragon who speaks without walls, and we're home free. Simple.

I got this bag yesterday and I love it! After using some small bags lately, I love the space it has! So much room. It's a great looking bag with great gold details. It comes with a dust bag, for which I'm very grateful. I love storing my nice bags in the dust bag when not using them. I must say that I ordered this bag on Friday (late Friday as a matter of fact) and received it on Monday. I am always and continue to be impressed by Zappos customer service and shipping. This is the second time I've found a bag I want on another site, checked here to see if they had it and ordered it from here because of their awesome customer service. Thanks, Zappos!
I'd also recommend: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Rebecca Minkoff

Gorgeous. The quality of this bag is outstanding! Finally! Elegant and bad-ass. I ordered the Black & Gold model and I feel like villain whenever I have it with me. The handle on the zippers are my favorite detail because they look like talons.
