Here's one example of how people are being impacted by Good Neighbor just five minutes from our Lake Forest campus.
Being a Good Neighbor is something you and your small group or family can do on a regular basis. Read the 1-2-3 Serve doc to learn how you can find ways, both big and small, to make a difference in your own neighborhood.
Inspired by Jesus' call to "love your neighbor," Good Neighbor Lake Forest is investing in the transformation of two Lake Forest communities for the sake of the gospel. From "Serve Days" of helping residents with home, yard, and handyman projects, to community-building events and encouraging seniors who may be feeling limited or lonely, we would love to have you join us in reaching out to our Lake Forest neighbors!
To serve with us in Good Neighbor Lake Forest, contact Matt at email@example.com.
To serve seniors through Good Neighbor Lake Forest, contact Michelle at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Aliso Meadows is a family community where we have LOTS of opportunity to make a difference. Working with the HOA, local residents, and Saddleback Ministries and Small Groups, we look to serve families in this community by beautifying the neighborhood, befriending the kids, and serving the residents.
To serve with us in Laguna Hills, contact Bonnie at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Campana Canaste residents in San Clemente have decided that graffiti, gang activity, and crime are not going to be tolerated in their seaside neighborhood. The Sherriff's Department, the District Attorney's Office, the School District, AND Saddleback, through a program called GRIP, (Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership), are partnering to love and to serve kids who are at-risk. This is an amazing program that we have been involved with county-wide, and a proven success story in turning around the lives of kids by improving test scores, attendance, behavior, and keeping kids OUT of gangs.
To serve with us in Campagna Canaste, contact Dawn at firstname.lastname@example.com
In the 5 years that Saddleback volunteers and leaders have been serving alongside other church partners in Compton, crime rates have plummeted. By starting with a simple concept, cleaning up/painting neighborhoods, street by street, block by block, we have seen transformation. God is moving in Compton and beyond, as other communities want what Compton has!

St. Elizabeth, Mythmaker
It's your fault for wanting to know the truth.
One option John Edwards must be considering. If anyone could pull it off .... 3:25 A.M.
Dissent in the MSM: Rebellious nibbling from mid-rank players who are harder to coopt than the New York and Washington elites:
"Facing Questions, Edwards Evades Reporters" ...
On Wednesday, Edwards apparently ducked out a side area used by the kitchen staff in the fourth-floor ballroom of Washington's historic Hotel Monaco. Edwards emerged from a lower-level handicap ramp near the rear of the hotel with two men. When approached by a Charlotte Observer reporter, Edwards said, "Can't do it now, I'm sorry" and quickly walked past.
Asked what he was doing at the Beverly Hilton last week, Edwards said "sorry" and got into a waiting car with the other men.
Update: The News & Observer also reports that the birth certificate for Rielle Hunter's daughter lists no father. The paper's reporters seem skeptical of Hunter's lawyer's explanation. (Birth certificate posted here.)
There are simply a lot of good questions. Edwards already squirmed out of one such query at a press conference, but his political career appears to be over unless he can talk his way out of this one.
So it's time the major media picked up the story. It's not merely the stench of liberal bias that bothers me but the unfortunate reality that we in the MSM are giving up a good story to the internet. And if we in the major media continue to cede such stories to the internet, we won't be major much longer.
So far, there has not been a denial from either Edwards or the woman, who once produced videos for the Edwards presidential campaign, about the alleged escapade in Beverly Hills.
And if it's all a simple misunderstanding, if John Edwards was dropping by a hotel suite at 2 a.m. to say hello to a former campaign worker, then maybe someone should suggest to the politician that he come out and say that. Maybe it was his $500-a-cut hairdresser, for goodness sakes! In which case, money well spent. In any case, it doesn't seem like this is the kind of story that is going to fade into the mists of time.

One of two suspects law enforcement believes is behind more than 40 separate burglaries in Vilas County has pleaded not guilty.
Lindsey Alexis Adams, 20, is charged with two counts of burglary, two counts of theft, criminal damage to property and possession of drug paraphernalia .
According to the criminal complaint, investigators were able to match shoe prints and tire tracks that were taken on December 20, 2011 at one the crime scenes to the suspects.
In May, a search warrant was conducted at Adams' home. Investigators seized a television from the living room that matched serial numbers to a television reported missing from one of victims.
According to a news release, Adams and a juvenile male were arrested when evidence collected during a search tied them to the crimes.
The male juvenile has been referred to juvenile authorities for similar charges.
Investigators believe the burglaries stemmed back to August 2011.
Both Adams and the juvenile suspect are from St. Germain.
Adams will return to court July 17.

Eto ang malupit na fantasy league -> http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...-nba-christmas
Defining John Paul is an exercise in futility...
Market Trends?
The first week of fantasy basketball 2012 is now in the record books and during the first week weve witnessed a number of players whove greatly outperformed their draft positions (if they were drafted at all). We were all enthralled by their production. The likes of Spencer Hawes and Ryan Anderson have even produced Round 1 averages, surpassing the stats of sturdy fantasy veterans like Josh Smith and Deron Williams. However, not all of these players will actually deliver a breakout season. Just like a counterfeit object, most players will deliver a Class A performance only for a little while until their usage has run its course. The key to winning our respective leagues is to pinpoint who are the players who will prove to be diamonds in the rough and who are just cheap imitations.
Must Add Players NOW
Ryan Anderson
If Mr. Anderson is still on your waiver wires, then I DEMAND that you pick him up right now. Currently, he is ONLY 84% owned in all Yahoo leagues. That is what I call a travesty. For someone whos averaging 20 pts., 6 reb., 4 threes, 48% fg, 90% ft, and 0.4 turnovers a game, it should be a crime not to get him. His production will definitely dip as the season progresses but not as dramatic as others would think. By the end of the season, he might post a stat line of 18 pts, 6 reb, 2.3 threes, 46% fg, 85% ft, and 1.5 turnovers a game. As long as Dwight Howard is in Orlando, expect Mr. Anderson to post such averages night in and night out, and word out of Orlando is that they want to keep Dwight for as long as they can. I look for Ryan Anderson to win the fantasy most improved player this year, following the reigns of Danilo Gallinari in 2010, and Dorell Wright in 2011.
Spencer Hawes
After a breakthrough performance in the 2008-2009 season, Hawes has been mediocre at best in terms of his fantasy production; culminated by his worst year since his rookie year. Its no wonder why a lot of owners disregarded his name during their drafts, simply because theyve given up on him. During the first week, he is averaging a double-double (12 pts. and 12 rebs.) with 4 assts., 1.3 stls., and 1.8 blks. per game. His stat line reminds me of a poor mans version of Kevin Garnett circa 2004, where Garnett was the top ranked fantasy player of that year. His increase in playing time, from 21 mins. to 33 mins. per game, indicates that Doug Collins has finally realized that Hawes is a much better basketball player than what his reputation precedes him. Expect him to average a double-double along with 3.5 assts., 1.5 blocks, and a steal for the rest of the season.
Al Harrington
Al Harrington is quietly putting up Ryan Anderson esque like numbers without the ridiculous 4 threes a game average. Hes basically a carbon copy of Ryan Anderson with slight dips in points (15.4 ppg.), threes (1.4 per game), and turnovers (2.2 per game). Just like Ryan Anderson, odds are he will be able to sustain his production throughout the season or as long as Wilson Chandler stays in China. He is basically a no risk pick-up who will reward the owners remarkably given that the Nuggets are malnourishedly thin in the front court. Expect him to carry out his averages throughout the rest of the season or until Wilson Chandler comes back.
Andre Miller
The age old veteran is turning another one of his vintage performances during the first week of the season. We were all expecting him to accept his role as the backup of Ty Lawson but he refuses to follow the script. Instead, Dre is taking up the minutes that were supposed to be Afflalos and creating a chicken dinner out of it. His production is nothing out of what we are accustomed of from him except for the 0.8 three point field goals made per game. At the sweet age of 35, Dre has finally learned how to shoot threes. A lot of owners never found Andre Millers game to be sexy because of the lack of scoring and threes. The scoring will not see an uptick anytime soon but his 1.8 three point field goal attempts is a nice surprise for his owners. Looks like he is committed to shooting long balls this season. Expect him to post the same averages with an optimistic 1 threes made a game.
Brandon Rush
From being in the dog house to being the first player off the bench, Rushs trade from Indiana has done wonders for his career. He is again seeing minutes on the floor, which was taken by George Hill in Indiana. Although, he is not a starter, he will still log heavy minutes to a fantasy friendly team in the form of Golden State. As all fantasy veteran owners know, Golden State is one of the top-3 fantasy factories in the NBA. Their style of play will guarantee serious production from its players, and as history points out, Golden State is usually 6 players deep in terms of fantasy production (with four of them ranked in the top 50 in pre-draft rankings). Golden States sixth man has more value than the starting point guard and center of Miami, and judging from the first week, Brandon Rush is that guy. Owners should refrain from expecting monster numbers from him ala Dorell Wright last year. A decent average of 14 pts., 4 reb., 1.5 stls, and 1.5 blks. is likely more feasible from him.
Use them wisely
James Johnson
In the first two games of the season, James Johnson averaged 7 rebs., 3.5 assts., 4 stls., and 2.5 blks.; a stat line that would embarrass an elite Andrei Kirilenko circa 2004. Since then, his minutes have dropped significantly from 30 mins. to 15 mins. per game; and as such, his production has significantly dipped as well. This season will be and up and down season for James Johnson. There will be stretches wherein he will put up monster numbers like what he did in the first two games, and there will be stretches where he is as useful as an ice tray on winter. For owners who would take the risk in putting him on their rosters for the entire season, you must closely monitor his stats in order to ride his positive production. James Johnson would most likely be the most added and dropped player this year.
Paul George
After a hot start, Paul George has been overtaken by George Hill in production. Although his defensive stats are still there, his offense nosedived significantly after the first two games. As the Pacers are still forming their identity, several of their players will experience a fluctuation in their games until they relatively settle down. Paul George has the potential to be a perennial all-star, whose ceiling is up high as a Scottie Pippen; unfortunately, his growing pains will dictate the direction he will be headed. The Pacers have suddenly become a deep team; and with only one basketball to share the ball with, there is no sure shot method to predict who will explode behind Danny Granger. Continue playing him as he will still be useful due to the defensive stats he provides but temper your expectations on his scoring until either Danny Granger or George Hill goes down with an injury.
Ricky Rubio
The Wonder Child, Ricky Rubio is tantalizing fans with his dazzling array of passes and his fantasy production. With averages of 10 pts., 4 rebs,, 7 assts., a steal, a three, 57% fg, and 83% ft., owners are clamouring for his inclusion in the starting five. They believe that an uptick in his minutes will significantly increase his stats pushing him onto the upper echelon of point guards in the NBA. Well, for a 23-year old who played in the Spanish League for the past 5-7 years, Rubio doesnt have the luxury of playing a full regular season yet. Sooner or later, he will definitely hit the rookie wall (not John) and will see his production dip significantly. The schedule in this condensed season is brutal even for the veterans; how much more can a rookie from Europe? What I suggest is that you temper your expectations from the wunderkind and remember that he is still human, after all.

The company will launch its newest styles — purple leopard and green-and-gray lumberjack patterned diapers — and latest product — a trio of lip balms for mom — on GiltKids.com tomorrow afternoon as part of the company's first sale on the site. We joined Gilt Groupe, Jessica, and Christopher at Honest's offices to discuss the brand, the new products, and what moms really want in their products. And come back tomorrow for the rest of our conversation about Jessica's seamless transition from actress to businesswoman, and the products her kids like best.
Moderator: So we were talking a little bit about the partnership with Gilt; what made you want to partner with them? How did that come about?
Jessica Alba: I just think it's a great site. I love a good deal myself as a mom, and I love that they have a curation of the best in class. So because we're the best in class, and it's also a very stylish site, I just thought it would be the perfect place to have an exclusive partnership and launch our most fashionable two designs.
Moderator: And how did you decide to step out with these particular new products? What was the reasoning behind that?
JA: We have tons and tons of designs and they fall into the category of traditional, sort of whimsical, and kind of edgy. I feel like parents have kind of fallen into a couple of those categories, if not all three. I know I do, and so depending on what kind of mom you are, you're obviously going to be attracted to the different designs. So we had about 10 per category, and we went out to parents and they pulled their favorites and then everyone here at the office. That's how we end up with our designs — people choosing it.
Moderator: So the things that Gilt's launching, are they an extension of items you already have?
JA: So we already have these, and these are our boy options, and these are our girl options, and so what I was saying is this is the edgy girl option; this is the whimsical and this is the more traditional. For whatever reason, the sweets and the skulls are the ones that everyone talks about, so when our moms post on our Facebook, or whenever anyone takes a photo of their babies in our diapers, they love showing them in our edgiest designs, so we felt that would be the best to launch with Gilt Groupe. We have the highest absorbency than any other diaper on the market, conventional or eco, and then we have obviously the edgiest and coolest designs. And no other company allows you to pick and choose. If you're part of our monthly delivery program you get to pick and choose what designs you want, so you're like, "Oh, I really love lumberjack, but I also love the skulls and I love the anchors," and so you can get all of that in your monthly package if you want.
Keep reading to see what Jessica Alba says about the company's first product for moms.

By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/otoplasty/MY02110
Otoplasty |
Otoplasty — also known as cosmetic ear surgery — is a procedure to change the shape, position or size of the ears.
You might choose to have otoplasty if you're bothered by how far your ears stick out from your head. You might also consider otoplasty if your ear or ears are misshapen due to an injury or birth defect.
Otoplasty can be done at any age after the ears have reached their full size — usually after age 5 — through adulthood.
Why it's done
You might consider otoplasty if:
- Your ear or ears stick out too far from your head
- Your ears are large in proportion to your head
Otoplasty is typically done on both ears to optimize symmetry.
Otoplasty can be done at any age after the ears have reached their full size — usually after age 5.
Otoplasty won't change the location of your ears or alter your ability to hear.
Otoplasty poses various risks, including:
- Scarring. While scars are permanent, they'll likely be hidden behind your ears or within your ears' inner creases.
- Asymmetry in ear placement. This could occur as a result of changes during the healing process. Also, surgery might not successfully correct pre-existing asymmetry.
- Changes in skin sensation. During otoplasty, the repositioning of your ears can temporarily affect skin sensation in the area. Rarely, changes are permanent.
- Problems with stitches. Stitches used to secure the ear's new shape might work their way to the surface of the skin and need to be removed. This can cause inflammation of the affected skin. As a result, you might need additional surgery.
- Overcorrection. Otoplasty can create unnatural contours that make ears appear to be pinned back.
Like any other type of major surgery, otoplasty poses a risk of bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to anesthesia. It's also possible to have an allergic reaction to the surgical tape or other materials used during or after the procedure.
How you prepare
Initially, you'll talk to a plastic surgeon about otoplasty. During your first visit, your plastic surgeon will likely:
- Review your medical history. Be prepared to answer questions about current and past medical conditions, especially any ear infections. Talk about any medications you're taking or have taken recently, as well as any surgeries you've had.
- Do a physical exam. To determine your treatment options, the doctor will examine your ears — including their placement, size, shape and symmetry. The doctor might also take pictures of your ears for your medical record.
- Discuss your expectations. Explain why you want otoplasty and what you're hoping for in terms of appearance after the procedure. Make sure you understand the risks, such as possible overcorrection.
Before otoplasty you might also need to:
- Stop smoking. Smoking decreases blood flow in the skin and can slow the healing process. If you smoke, your doctor will recommend that you stop smoking before surgery and during recovery.
- Avoid certain medications. You'll likely need to avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements, which can increase bleeding.
- Arrange for help during recovery. Make plans for someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first night of your recovery.
What you can expect
Otoplasty can be done in a hospital or an outpatient surgical facility.
Sometimes the procedure is done with sedation and local anesthesia, which numbs only part of your body. In other cases, general anesthesia — which renders you unconscious — is recommended.
During the procedure
Otoplasty techniques vary based on what kind of correction is needed. The specific technique your plastic surgeon chooses will determine the location of the incisions and the resulting scars.
Your doctor might make incisions:
- On the backs of your ears
- Within the inner creases of your ears
After making incisions, your doctor might remove excess cartilage and skin. He or she will then fold the cartilage into the proper position and secure it with internal stitches. Additional stitches will be used to close the incisions.
The procedure typically takes about two hours.
After the procedure
After otoplasty, your ears will be covered in bandages for protection and support.
You'll likely feel some discomfort and itching. Take pain medication as recommended by your doctor. If you take pain medication and your discomfort increases, contact your doctor immediately.
To keep pressure off your ears, avoid sleeping on your side. Also try not to rub or place excessive force on the incisions. Consider wearing button-down shirts or shirts with loosefitting collars.
A few days after otoplasty, your doctor will remove your bandages. Your ears will likely be swollen and red. You'll need to wear a loose headband that covers your ears at night for two to six weeks. This will help keep you from pulling your ears forward when rolling over in bed.
Talk to your doctor about when — or if — your stitches will be removed. Some stitches dissolve on their own. Others must be removed in the doctor's office in the weeks after the procedure.
Ask your doctor when it's OK to resume daily activities, such as bathing and physical activity.
After your bandages are removed, you'll notice an immediate change in the appearance of your ears. These changes are permanent.
If you're not satisfied with your results, check with your surgeon about the possibility of revision surgery.

Hi I'm new to this forum and I have just gotten my first plants! I'm excited to get going, but it seems like I'm hitting some issues. One of them is a coffea arabica plant that's in a 12" pot and is about 4 feet tall. Since I got it about 2-3 weeks ago, I've been noticing the leaves are falling at a pace that seems to be quicker than normal (and speeding up). I think I picked up 10-12 leaves in the last 2-3 days. I attached a picture of the leaves with the stem at the top of the picture and the tips at the bottom. Some have brown tips, but are still pretty green. Others are browning all throughout and then falling off. Some of the leaves that have fallen seem to be pretty green otherwise. These leaves seem to be mostly at the mid-level and lower parts of the tree. The leaves in the picture are just some of the ones that are falling. I know moving it to my house from the nursery will aggravate the tree a little. I have it in the corner of my condo (inside) next to a sliding glass door. It was getting a few hours of direct sun light, but since then I have pulled up my honeycomb shades to block the direct light (See the picture). I've been feeding it tepid tap water, but the woman at armstrong told me to get it some bottle water instead since Los Angeles tap water is not very good. She also gave me some liquid Miracle-Gro fertilizer to add to the bottled water I give to the plant. However, I'm a little afraid of shocking the plant some more with inducing fertilizer. I just started to spray the plant yesterday in hopes that may help with humidity. Is it too close to the window making it too cold? Temps out here have been 30s F and 70s F, but the inside of my condo has probably been high 50s (at worst is my guess). Any ideas? Use the liquid fertilizer, bottled water, and move it away from the sliding door? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! |

Hi Toyne and Welcome, Coffee Arabica is one difficult plant. My Coffee is summered outdoors...does well in bright-indirect sun, but during winter, 'here in IL,' Coffee sits before south and east windows, plus artificial light at night. Coffee trees do not like change. After being summered outdoors, then bringing inside, leaves 'may' drop. It's worse when air is dry and lacks circulation. The good news is foliage will return. Another possiblity is Spider Mites. Over the years, 'the room Coffee is over-wintered,' is extremely dry,' I discovered Mites. Ridding mites wasn't a problem, however I noticed the area of leaves where mites built webs browned and felt sticky. To be on the safe side, inspect your tree for fine webbing. Every so often, I fill the sink with warm water and two drops of dish soap. Set Coffee/pot in water until top soil is saturated. Although, some might disagree, daily misting helps. Unless your Coffee is producing new leaves, I'd withhold fertilizer, especially MG. How much sun was your Coffee getting at the nursery? Direct? Bright light? Shade? I hope your Coffee does well. Remove dead leaves and those that land atop soil. Good luck, Toni |
Thanks for the advice Toni! Sorry about getting back to late. Been a crazy week. So a good amount of the foliage fell from the lower branches. I haven't seen any spider mites, but not entirely sure how to check for them. I don't see any more webs. I just saw that one leaf. I guess at the nursery the plant was indoors and getting lots of filtered light all day long. for now I pulled the blinds all the way to allow for as much sun as the plant can get from the southern facing sliding door windows it's next to. I have been trying to mist the plant once to twice a day. I also put a plastic saucer on the bottom and filled it with river rocks and some water to help with humidity. I put some moss over the top of the soil in the planter to help with humidity as well. The plant does have new leaves growing from the top, but i guess the main problem was from the bottom. I've just never seen a plant drop so many leaves from the bottom so quick, but the top seems ok. Weird to me. I haven't tried to add fertilizer just yet... in terms of watering, my plant is 5 feet tall with the planter so I can't really run it in the sink. plus I didn't think it was so good to move the plant too often. the bottom is slightly bear and I hope it doesn't lose that much more. I guess it's a positive that there are new leaves growing at the top, but the bottom just looks funny now. haha. thanks for the help, if there are any other suggestions you have for me let me know. i didn't realize I picked such a hard plant. |
i think the plant has stabilized some... the bottom half is getting more bare as time passes and leaves fall, but the top is ok it appears. how often should you add fertilizer to these plants and what kinds of fertilizer (other than the miracle grow liquid stuff)? the planty smell of the tree in my home is great. =) |
So my tree is still losing a decent number of leaves from the bottom and it's getting kinda bare now. I think another half of the leaves on the bottom will fall (some are browning/graying) it'll be pretty bear on the bottom. Here is a picture of the leaves that are dying from the bottom of the tree. Anyone know what may cause this??? Do I have bugs? Spider mites? I don't see any insects. None of the top half of the leaves look like this either and are doing just fine. |
here are some other leaves that have fallen. some leaves that have dropped are almost completely green. |
Lastly, here's a pic of the beautiful tree. The bottom once was nice and full like the top, but as you can see lots of branches are almost completely bare now. any thoughts? i know hopefulauthor said that they lose lots of leaves only to have them grow back, but i'm still concerned. especially with what some of the leaves look like in the above pictures. |

Hi Tony.. Sorry, I haven't been here for some time. Except for one area on your tree, your Coffee looks fine. Its leaves are healthy, shiny, and vivid green. Do you rotate? If not, please do. 1/4 turn, once a week is sufficient. All sides of your tree need equal amounts of light. Oh, I'd remove moss. Moss keeps soil wet for prolonged periods, and an invitation to certain insects. Plants should not be fertilized when sick, but I do not believe your Coffee ill. I think leaf drop is mainly due to moving from nursery to home. Did the clerk give you dossage instructions for MG? Tony, I have to go to the store, so hurriedly browsed through your posts. Perhaps you explained. What is the item to the right of your tree? Obviously, your tree is too large to set in the sink...what about the shower? Air circulation is mandatory. The room my Coffee Tree is wintered, is semi-dry and stuffy. I allowed soil to dry to the point severall leaves dropped..Duh! :) Keep spraying. Toni |
Thanks for your input again! Answering all your questions... first all i guess i'm concerned because even sometimes the leaves that drop off are completely green, shiny, and look fine, but still fall off, which makes me wonder. Plus there's that leaf scarring in the first picture from feb 13 that makes me worry too. i'm starting to notice the brown tips on the leaves moving up the plant too, which is why i'm slightly worried in the long run. but again I still have brand new growth, so maybe i'm just paranoid. I did not rotate, but I will rotate it now. it only makes sense to do so, i don't know why i didn't think about it before. I put the moss in because I was told it actually helps with keeping humidity around the plant. I still have not used fertilizer yet and have not repotted it from when I got it from the nursery. It's still in the same pot with the same soil. the clerk didn't give me any real instructions for the MG. They just handed it to me and said try it out with some water. when you say set it in the shower... what exactly do you mean? Am I supposed to hose down the plant in the shower? I won't be using my shower head because i'm pretty sure it would blast off the leaves, but is your recommendation to completely soak the plant from leave to branch to root and all the soil and let it sit there? just some newbie (may be dumb) questions, but why would you let the soil dry to the point where leaves dropped? i don't have any real air circulation going. that is an air filter next to the plant, but it's not plugged in. i might try to get some more going then. thanks again for all the help! |
I don't really have an answer to why your tree is losing leaves, but can share my experience which is similar to yours. I have a coffee tree that has lost a good amount of leaves that turned brown first and looked kind of like yours. In the past I have grown this tree outdoors in the summer and under lights in my basement in the winter. (See link below) Because I moved and the tree has gotten very large I put it in my sunroom this winter. It's still pushing out some slow new growth, but the bottom leaves fall off periodically. I've chalked it up to less than ideal winter conditions (low light/humidity) and am hoping it will come back to life in the spring/summer. I'm thinking the continued new growth is a good sign. I also plan on repotting it. Not sure if being root bound is a factor, but it's been in the same pot for a few years. I may cut it back some as well, but I'll probably post looking for advice on how to do that when the time comes because I have no idea how to go about it. One other note, my tree bloomed and produced beans this year for the first time. I don't know if that has anything to do with my leaf loss. I don't know if that's helpful or not, but either way good luck with your tree. Dan |

Seagate: 1 billion hard drives and counting
Seagate has come a long way in the data storage business, from its 5MB ST506 hard drive in 1979 to its latest 1TB Barracuda introduced last year. And today the company announced that it is the first manufacturer to ship 1 billion hard drives.
If you can't visualize that many storage devices, picture this: You can circle the globe 13.7 times with the 1 billion hard drives placed end-to-end, according to Seagate.
Not all of them bear the Seagate brand. The number also includes the ones manufactured by Conner, which merged with Seagate in 1996, as well as … Read more

Steed (Patrick MacNee), Purdy (Joanna Lumley) and Gambit (Gareth Hunt) foil the latest mission of Soviet agent Perov (Peter Jeffrey). In retaliation, and in defiance of his superiors, Perov reactivates several "sleeper" agents who have been squirreled away throughout the U.K. for the past 20 years. At first, it would seem that Perov's sole motivation is to kill the Avengers--but there's far more to his sinister scheme. This is the episode in which Gambit poses as a pop star and Purdey impersonates a squealing teenage fan. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hi everyone
I'm fresh to the forum, as well as these old engines. Have a flathead, which I think is one of the later (8BA or eqvivalent), but would like to be sure. Anyone knows this number? It's an industrial one, so havent, been able to match it anywhere...

49 to 51 pickup engine-8RT. Altho the cover on the oil pump has a 51 Merc part no, this might have been the cover used from 51 up.
the cylinder heads 8RT was on Ford - Mercury trucks 1949 - 1953.
For block identification you can go on www.vanpeltsales.com and on www.fototime.com where you got a press article "what model engine block do you have" by Jay M Temple.
have a nice day

I've been on vanpelts, and can't manage to confirm identity to one hundred %. I might be stupid :confused: ... Leaning towards 52-53 because off the colour on it, but this might have been changed under the previous resto.
I will check out the article, how ever.
Thank you guys! -
Type & Serial as you see on the plate:
If this helps for identification...
And I wasn't able to find the article since I'm not a member... It isn't possible that you have downloaded it...
Thanks guys!
Ron -
sorry for the fototime link, i have print the article, but not save the download. i will search again.
anyway, if you look the flathead forum, you will see my personnal thread about my flat engine. (title is : need help...... pictures joined).
i have made the same search like you.
on the HAMB forum, a guy say to me that the 1CM letters are for Mercury 1951 engine. you have the same letter on the oilpump plate. in his history your block had be rebuilt or repared.
look to my thread pictures.
i have a question: i see on your pictures, back, that you have the bellhousing & the flywheel too.
could you please send me some pictures of this parts, cause they miss with my block and i 'm trying to find & buy them. cause i'm in France, i must buy them in USA.
So i can't make me wrong, and before to buy, i must get the most informations on this parts to identify them.
thanks in advance.
i search the link for you
JPhi -
Don't worry about the link, but would be nice if you found it.
Here are some pictures by the way....
One more thing. I know where you can try to shop for the parts if you want them new, I've been shopping there before. They are good people! Send me a pm if you're interrested...DSC00017_120064206550100.jpg650 x 488 - 37KDSC00018_120064224650100.jpg650 x 488 - 37KDSC00019_120064366950100.jpg650 x 488 - 39KDSC00020_120064507850100.jpg650 x 488 - 40KDSC00021_120065133550100.jpg650 x 488 - 46K -
Wouldn't an "industrial" engine be the type used on generators or pumps or on other industrial applications rather than on an automobile?
Over the years, I remember seeing generators using auto engines. In fact, I used to run a fresh water pumping station and we used a Cummins Diesel engine exactly like the kind you would find in a big rig.
Tony1932 -
Yes, you're right. I know some flatheads have been used in waterpumps f.ex. the fire dept.
Also here in SoCal they were used in the citrus orchards to keep the frost off the crops. They were put on 20 ft high pedestals and had a 3 to 4 ft propeller on them to keep the wind moving.

Mr. Thomas has covered 26,500 km in 78 days covering 100 towns and cities in India. He has started the expedition on May 03, 2012 from Mumbai and drove the Nano to India's extreme reaches. In the East he drove till Tawang, in the South till Kanyakumari, in the West he drove till Dwarka and in the North he went to Kargil and also ascended to Khardung La( 18380 ft. high) and Tanglang La both of which are in Ladakh. Khardung La and Tanglang La are the highest and second highest motorable roads in the world respectively. He had also been to Nagpur and Bhutan.
Mr. Chako, on concluding his journey said "I chose the Tata Nano for this journey because it is the car that has put India on the world motoring map. It also has very good ground clearance and climbs well. The journey was not a joyride but an expedition to explore the country and know the people. The 78-day all India drive has tested the Nano across the some of the most rugged terrains of the country and through all kinds of weather. The car emerged successful in this test of endurance. The Nano is a dream project. It is every person's aspiration to own a car and the Nano fulfills this dream. In a way, this small wonder has fulfilled my dream to explore India".
"This journey has indeed been an achievement and a book is very much on the cards. It would perhaps be named Mano et Nano: India to its farthest reaches", he added.
Nano, the frugally engineered road car, has proved to be a triumph of somewhat homegrown engineering as some of the parts used in Nano may not have been developed or produced in India. In many car rallies and expeditions undertaken by Tata Motors or by the customers on their own, Nano has been a thrilling surprise and had shown robustness and reliability. These expeditions help the customers to understand and experience the brand. So the company will continue to encourage these rallies and expeditions.

text: Home eMed eMed Blog Saving time by outsourcing the interview process RSS Feed Link Saving time by outsourcing the interview process Posted by: Brian O'Connell on September 30, 2011 As any entrepreneur knows, time is a commodity – a precious one as tangible and vital as currency or oxygen. Use too much of it in the wrong way and a startup owner is putting his or her business at risk. So it's only natural that a healthcare entrepreneur use his or her time wisely, and is wide open to any idea that can help. That's where Danielle Weinblatt, owner of Take the Interview, comes in. Weinblatt, a Harvard Business School grad, has a service that other entrepreneurs just may find appealing. Take the Interview will pre-screen your job candidates so you don't have to, freeing up time so you can focus on growing your company. Take the Interview was founded in January, and is expected to have only $100,000 in revenues this year. But among her 100 clients, Weinblatt already has high-profile clients like Harvard Business School and Deloitte in the fold, and the future looks promising. The company already has $775,000 in angel funding, and is seeking $1.25 million overall. So here's the deal. Take the Interview charges $45 for one posting and $300 for up to six postings a month, and there are a couple of options in between. Business owners can pay $25,000 for an all-encompassing enterprise package. The process goes like this (from the Take the Interview web site): When you create a job posting, you'll be asked to enter basic information such as the job name, position, an introductory message and closing. When you create questions for your job, you have access to over 1,500 questions from the site's question bank, sorted by job type. You'll get to ask three to five questions per interview. When you're ready to invite candidates, it's very simple. Just enter the email addresses of the candidates you would like to invite and customize the email that gets sent. Embed the site's public button or link on any of the major job sites (like Monster.com), or even your own company's website to collect responses from any candidates. Access the site's video viewer to review responses question by question. You can also share and comment on each candidate. Weinblatt's pitch is that interviewing job candidates is usually a big time drain on startup owners. For key positions, like chief financial officer or marketing director, there's no margin for error, so a business owner feels compelled to meet everyone he or she can. No business owner, after all, wants to be out of the loop on a key hire. But is that a good use of your time? Sure, you can hire a recruiter, but that can cost thousands of dollars. If you're a small startup, having video copies of an interview, complete with a list of questions you want asked, for a few hundred dollars a month seems like a pretty good deal. "(Business owners) might know that someone is a 'no' within the first few minutes of an in-person interview, but you end up spending 30 or 60 minutes talking to them because that's what was scheduled," Weinblatt says in a September interview with the web site Boston.com. "We think that asynchronous video interviewing is a great way for people to save time." It's an interesting concept, from both the entrepreneurial and business side. Startup owners looking to pocket some extra hours, but get the valuable interview information they need, may want to give Take the Interview a look. 10 Comments No Comments to Display Add a Comment Name: Email: Comment: Submit

By Gary Robertson The Associated Press
RALEIGH - State Senate leader Phil Berger said Wednesday that he believes an overhaul of North Carolina's tax system will happen this year and that he prefers a plan to make income tax rates as low as possible - maybe even zero.
Speaking to reporters about this year's General Assembly session, Berger said senators are considering a proposal to eliminate individual and corporate income taxes. Legislators would make up for billions of dollars in lost revenue in part by shifting to a consumption-based system that would tax most services currently exempt from the sales tax, such as auto repairs, haircuts and lawn services.
The state's income taxes are among the highest in the Southeast. North Carolina's corporate income tax rate is 6.9 percent, while the individual income tax rate for the highest wage earners is 7.75 percent.
At a news conference, Berger said: "At this point, I don't know if I could give you what that possible outcome is, but I can tell you that we're going to shoot for the lowest possible (rate), and zero is the absolute lowest."
He added: "We will get a tax reform bill this session."
A plan being floated by Berger's lieutenants would raise the sales tax rate to less than 8 percent in exchange for eliminating income taxes. The combined state and local sales tax rate is now 6.75 percent for most counties. In Cumberland County, the rate is 7 percent.
The state's share of the sales tax on groceries also could be restored 15 years after it was eliminated. Local governments currently collect a 2 percent sales tax on food.
The idea of a tax overhaul is not new, but prospects for a retrofit appear strong, with Republican control of the legislature and new GOP Gov. Pat McCrory interested in the idea. McCrory has said he wants rates to drop to at least those of neighboring states.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have talked for decades about changing a tax system whose sales tax base has eroded over the years because of exemptions and an economy that has tilted from manufacturing to the service sector. When additional funds have been needed, legislators have raised the sales tax rate, reaching 7.75 percent in 2009. Republicans pulled the rate back by a penny in 2011.
Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg County, the chamber's point man on tax overhaul, said the plan lacks specific legislation for now and could be phased in over time. Rucho said the proposal would reward companies that make money through innovation and provide an incentive for job creation.
"This is a concept that will be chewed on by the House and Senate and the governor, trying the best way of achieving our goal of economic growth and jobs," Rucho said.
Rucho, however, provided some parameters. He said he expects that the combined state-local tax rate would "always be less than" 8 percent under the plan and could fall in later years.
In addition to a broader sales tax, Rucho said a portion of the lost income tax revenue - $10 billion, or half the state's annual budget - would be replaced with a license fee for all businesses. Business-to-business transactions would not be subject to the sales tax, he said.
Expanding the sales tax is sure to bother interest groups that have benefited from exemptions for years. One group - the North Carolina Association of Realtors - already is sounding the alarm because a higher tax on property sales, currently at 0.2 percent of a property value, is being considered.
"While we applaud lawmakers' interest in reforming North Carolina's tax system, we believe that property owners already pay their fair share," association President Patrice Willetts said Wednesday.
The liberal-leaning North Carolina Budget & Tax Center supports tax reform but said cutting or eliminating income taxes is not an effective way to create jobs and will swing the state's fiscal burdens toward the poor.
"These kinds of proposals will only skew our tax system in favor of the wealthy," center director Alexandra Sirota said.
