Toyota Yaris vs. Scion iQ: Which is smarter?
These are interesting times at Toyota Motor Sales. No sooner had the hub-bub regarding unintended acceleration claims subsided than Japan was hit by a horrific tsunami. Although Toyota showrooms are now running on most cylinders, its entry-level/youth-oriented subsidiary, Scion, is experiencing some headwinds. And while release of the 2012 Scion iQ looked to be an intelligent move for Toyota, its intro raises the obvious question: Is it a smart move for you?
Our first drive of the iQ was in Houston's arts district, an appropriate choice for this most-urban runabout. Looking like a more mature (or perhaps 'smarter') Smart, Scion's iQ is billed by Toyota as a premium micro-subcompact and the world's smallest 4-seater. We were immediately taken by its stance, which mollifies the phone booth (remember those?) proportions with a wide track and minimal overhangs. The greenhouse is – within the context of its ten feet(!) of overall length – expansive, and both ingress and egress (getting in/getting out) is remarkably simple. In short, the 2012 iQ is short, but for two adults of average height and weight eminently livable.
Of course, if you have three or four the lQ (that's 'el cue', as in 'livability quotient') goes down rather abruptly. Accommodating a third passenger is relatively straightforward, but adding a fourth becomes problematic, despite the stagger built into the two front seats. We'd dub it a 2+1, but then, we're not doing ad copy for Toyota.
If you're impressed by the iQ's quirkly proportions and can live with having no more than two passengers (we can), you then need to reconcile yourself with its 1.3 liter four connected to a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). Impressions in and around downtown Houston over roughly 90 minutes were positive; a few days of errand running and commuting in and around suburban Dallas less so. The iQ feels winded, with the responsibility (we think) falling on the CVT transmission rather than its 1.3 liter four. And despite a curb weight of just over a ton and only 94 horsepower, the iQ's efficiency is but 36 City/37 Highway, falling between ten and fifteen percent short of several compact 4-doors at the Scion's $16K (or so) price point.
One of those 4-doors, of course, is Scion's in-house competitor, the Toyota Yaris, available in both a 2-door or 4-door hatch. Described as 'all-new', we'd dub it an aggressive refresh over its predecessor. With proportions that are almost conventional – given the growing popularity of the hatchback profile – the Yaris sits on a wheelbase twenty inches longer (98.8 vs. the iQ's 78.7 inches) and enjoys almost three feet of additional length (153.5 vs. 120.1 inches). And those twenty inches and three feet make all the difference in the world.
We wouldn't knock the Scion's ride quality, as Toyota engineers have done a masterful job of creating composure in such a small, tidy package. But the Yaris' longer footprint does a far better job of mimicking a real automobile, capable (presumably) of operating on a real freeway. The Yaris recipe is helped in no small way by a 1.5 liter four producing 12 more horsepower and 14 lb-ft of additional torque. To channel Churchill, "never was so much owed to so few;" the additional horses and torque, connected to an utterly conventional – albeit dated – 4-speed auto, is a revelation when contrasted with the iQ's 1.3 liter and CVT.
Of course, the Yaris offers more than additional length and horsepower. In 4-door-with-hatch guise it also trumps the iQ in both accessibility and passenger volume. The Yaris boasts 85 cubic feet for passengers and another 15 cubic feet for cargo, while the iQ is but 74 cubic feet for passengers and (with rear seats up) 3.5 cubic feet for cargo. Putting the rear seats forward (which, admittedly, most iQ owners would do) results in over 16 cubic feet of storage space in the Scion – but only room for two.
In sum, your $16K investment in a new car can be spent in any number of ways. Even on a Toyota showroom there are more options, including modestly equipped Corollas and (very) base Tacoma pickups. If living in 300 square feet of Manhattan apartment we could rationalize the iQ; it is, after all, the automotive equivalent of a 300 square foot studio. But if your automotive needs extend beyond Manhattan, Toyota's Yaris is the hands-down winner in any objective comparison with Scion's 2012 iQ. Even this one…

The elusive quest for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal has frustrated diplomats and negotiators for decades.
Although it seems like everything has been tried before, the European Union has announced a novel but not entirely unpredictable way to bring the two sides together: money.
On Monday, the EU said that it would offer both Israel and Palestine "unprecedented" financial, political and security support if they reach a final status peace agreement.
"The EU will provide an unprecedented package of European political, economic and security support to both parties in the context of a final status agreement," a statement from the EU's Foreign Affairs Council, a congregation of EU foreign ministers, said.
"In the event of a final peace agreement the European Union will offer Israel and the future state of Palestine a Special Privileged Partnership including increased access to the European markets, closer cultural and scientific links, facilitation of trade and investments as well as promotion of business to business relations."
Israel reacted to the offer with apprehension.
"These are empty words, meaningless generalities. The offer, the way it looks now, has no concrete content at all and seems somewhat unrealistic," an Israeli diplomatic official told The Times of Israel.
Another Israeli official, commenting on the resolution, told the Jerusalem Post: "They say they will dangle some carrots, but what kind of carrots – what size, how many – is not determined."
The declaration is said to have struck a different tone from past EU statements on the peace process, which sharply condemn Israeli's settlement expansion and led to a policy of banning business between the 28-member bloc and Israelis living in the West Bank.
The new statement also said that it supported the US-led peace negotiations that officials are currently trying to organize, praising the Secretary of State John Kerry's "tireless engagement."

RIDLEY TOWNSHIP — The Delaware County Housing Authority announced plans to demolish the 156 triplex family units at Kinder Park on MacDade Boulevard at Bullens Lane, replace them with 160 new units, and construct a fourth mid-rise apartment building for senior citizen housing.
The project came to light Wednesday at a township zoning hearing where requests for a series of variances was heard. Estimated cost of the redevelopment is $70 million, a combination of federal, state and local funds.
"We are looking toward creating a more traditional neighborhood, a more walkable neighborhood," said Elizabeth Naughton Beck, an attorney representing the housing authority and Pennrose Properties, which is partnering with the housing authority on the project.
Pennrose is the company that worked on the redevelopment of a portion of the old Penn Hills Apartment complex in the Crum Lynne section of the township three years ago.
Beck said the entire parcel is almost 30 acres, with a small portion in adjacent Nether Providence Township. Ninety-one percent of the development is in Ridley and 9 percent in Nether Providence. Thirty-one of the new family units will be built in Nether Providence, up from the current 20 units. Kinder Park is served by both the Ridley School District and the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District.
Housing authority Executive Director Larry Hartley said the estimated 468 people who occupy the triplex family units will be given 90 days notice when they have to vacate their units. Families can either relocate to other units in housing authority operated complexes or use Section 8 vouchers for other housing.
"We've found that only 50 percent of the people who move out during a construction period, move back," Hartley told the zoning board members.
Some of the residents of the Kinder Park still seem confused about what is going on and where they are going to eventually live during construction.
"We don't know what we are doing," said Rosann DiGiallorenzo. "We are just kind of standing in the wind, half packed and half unpacked. Jan. 1 is the last date that they gave us (to be moved out), but nobody knows what's going on."
Some of the of the complications for at least some residents include finding new housing, new schools for their children if they have to move to a different district and just exactly how much they will be paid before they move. DiGiallorenzo and others said they were originally told they would be paid the security deposit and first month's rent when they move, but some residents expressed doubt about that happening.
One of the big problems is that there aren't a lot of places left to move in the middle of the school year that fit their financial limitations.
"They gave us a list of places to move, but everybody has the same list," said a woman who asked to be identified as DM. "Nobody has any room. They should have given us this list in August or September."
Another possible issue also has to do with coming up with the required deposits to have utilities turned on. The residents said they were told they would be reimbursed for those costs, but that won't give them the money they need up front to get those utilities turned on.
"They keep telling us the wrecking ball is coming," DiGiallalorenzo said, "whether we are still staying here or not."
Just the uncertainty for someone like DM, who has lived in the same place for the last 20 years, can be disconcerting.
"There could have been better organization for everybody," she said. "It just came too fast and it's unorganized."
Meanwhile, the planned mid-rise apartment building will join the other three apartment houses built in the early 1980s along Bullens Lane.
The fourth building will contain 75 units. Hartley said the new development will see a shift in the size of the family units, going from two to five bedrooms to two to three bedrooms. He noted that the all the units are income restricted. Rents will be based on 30 percent of a tenant's income.
The redevelopment will also include a community building and a maintenance building. Both buildings and the first group of town houses are part of the construction's phase one. Phases two and three will see construction of groups of town houses while the final phase will be construction of the mid-rise apartment building. The total number of dwelling units at Kinder Park will rise from 316 to 396 when the project is completed. Hartley said construction is scheduled to begin in late winter or early spring of 2014.
Even though the current family units were built between 1984 and 1986, Hartly said demolition of those relatively young buildings was deemed necessary because the type of construction material used back then was "notorious" for causing moisture problems.
Kinder Park goes back a long way when the project site was known as Overlook Heights. Shortly after World War II began, small houses were quickly built on the site to accommodate the thousands of workers who flocked to the Chester area to work in defense plants. At the end of the war the project was turned over to the housing authority and was operated for low and moderate income families. The old houses remained until the replacements were built 40 years later.

FRANKFURT (Mar. 13)
Public meetings, broadcasts, theatrical and musical performances, now under way in nearly a score of cities, highlight the annual observance of "Brotherhood Week," arranged by the German Societies for Christian-Jewish Cooperation.
Federal President Theodor Heuss, who as in previous years consented to be the sponsor of "Brotherhood Week," opened it with an address to a select assembly gathered in the Bundestag chamber at Bonn. "Even though it is bound to go against the grain of some people," he remarked, "days and hours such as this must be held ever anew." With respect to indemnification, he urged Germans to feel a degree of personal involvement.
In Munich, Brotherhood Week was marked by a joint songfest of Jewish and Christian children. In Stuttgart, the new German film "Israel-Land of Hope" was introduced by its producer, German newspaperman Rolf Vogel, and by Dr. A Bergmann, deputy head of the Israel Purchasing Mission in Cologne. F. Sternberg, a staff member of the Israel Mission, shared the platform in Wiesbaden with Chester S. Wright, honorary president of the Federation of German-American Clubs. In Berlin, high school students offered readings from, books that were-burned by the Nazis and from "The Diary of Anne Frank."

SALT LAKE CITY — Josie Stone once took a class on world religions and was hooked on learning more.
The vice-chairwoman of the Salt Lake Interfaith Roundtable said faith and how different people practice it is "fascinating" to her.
"It opens your eyes, exposing everybody for what they believe," said Stone, a Herriman resident who hails from England and attends St. Mark's Episcopal Church. "I don't feel that different from everyone else here. We're all trying to build compassion, love and understanding."
Bringing together religious views and subcultures is one idea fostered by the Interfaith Roundtable, which was formed in 1999 to provide religious support for Olympic athletes and other visitors to Utah during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. The group's officers, each from different local congregations, meet monthly, mostly working up to February's "Interfaith Month," during which numerous events provide opportunities for Utahns to come together for meaningful discussion, "to get people talking about their faith," Stone said Saturday, during an event at St. Mark's Episcopal Church.
"As long as people don't know, there's always an element of fear," she said.
Topics, such as Saturday's interactive discussion on compassion led by Carla Kelley, and upcoming church facility tours throughout the valley, youth luncheons, ceremonial prayers, a novel "speed faithing" event for young adults, and more, center on providing a broader understanding for all of Utah's subcultures.
"We have to talk to each other," said Kelley, founder of the Human Rights Education Center of Utah. "How can we know anything unless we peel back what we think we know?"
She said that her experiences have taught her "we all want, need and deserve the same things."
Wendy Stovall, of the local Unification Church, known as the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, said she was raised in a racially segregated area of Zimbabwe and later moved to an otherwise very diverse England for schooling.
The two cultures were opposite, but experience taught her "we all laughed and cried over the same things. What was important to one mother was important to me and our core values were similar," Stovall told the group on Saturday.
Kelley said to exhibit true compassion for others, biases have to be let go.
"We tend to shut others out in our own pain," she said. "We need to recognize others as being human."
"Being human," Kelley told the group, allows people to make mistakes and try again.
"Love and forgiveness and compassion is what's going to save us and it's the only thing that is going to save us," she said.
Brittani McLeod, a resident of Salt Lake City, said she likes to keep up with different cultures and ways of thinking that float around her hometown. As an anthropologist, she said, the new information "challenges my viewpoints and gives me a better understanding of what truth is."
While her established religion and faith play a "huge part" in her life, McLeod said an idea of truth can't be formed without knowing what else is out there. She encourages her friends and family to also strengthen what they know about God by learning about others' views.
The Interfaith Roundtable is hoping more young people will get involved this year, as "eventually we all get older and we all move on," Stone said. "Our biases are instilled in us at a young age. And their attitudes and acceptances are more advanced than ours. They are more introspective."
And regardless of a person's religious ascription, she said all people can appreciate compassion, peace, love and harmony, which are tenets of many religions.
"Some don't belong to organized church and at the same time, that doesn't mean they are not religious," Stone said.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert is speaking during an Interfaith blessing at the state Capitol on Wednesday and a musical tribute to the various religions present in the state is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 23, at 6 p.m. at the Salt Lake Tabernacle.

I broke my nose when I was in high school, I am now in my early thirties. My nose was deviated to the right side, I had a slight bulge between the eye and my nose from the bone healing on the left side, and my right nostril would collapse under hard breathing. I also had a bulbous tip that I wanted to fix.
I had a Rhinoplasty and Septoplasty done. Dr. Sajjadian said my nose did not want to straighten out, I can imagine after more than 10 years my nose, cartilage and skin was grown into its crooked position. He took extra time to make sure my nose wouldn't go back to its deviated position. I'm hispanic, with a round face so I was concerned with the final shape, I didn't want it to look pointy or something. He altered the profile and width of the tip but it looks completely natural to my face.
I took 12 days off from work (including weekends). I was a bit nervous about not taking enough days off but the noticeable swelling was gone in about 5 days and the bruising in about 10 days. There is a small scar under my nose because I had an open surgery. I purchased a scar cream from him and it's been working. The scar is small and not that noticeable anyway.
Another concern was about a week later my nose was still pointed up and you could see a lot of my nostrils. The doctor assured me the tip would drop down and it did about 2 weeks after the surgery. My nose is still a bit tender over a month later but it looks completely normal and I can breathe just fine.

Other than in the capital-raising department, Tesla has not succeeded yet.
I think it was the windmills that finally got to me.
I've been merely a passive observer of the Tesla (tsla) phenomenon. I read Michael Copeland's outstanding cover story in Fortune two years ago. I saw my first Tesla, a fiery red Roadster, only a couple weeks ago. I've never met with the company or heard its pitch.
Then on Tuesday, the day Tesla's shares started trading in extraordinary fashion, I opened the Wall Street Journal and saw the Nasdaq ad welcoming Tesla to public companyhood. In the two-thirds-of-a-page photo, a bald guy in sunglasses drives a red two-seater past a bucolic mountain scene with an array of windmills between the car and the peaks. "The car company that abandoned oil selects NASDAQ," reads the copy. Between the copy and the photo, the message is clear: Tesla won't foul the environment. It's as pure as the wind.
There's a big problem, however, with the imagery. Wind power represents about 3% of electricity production in the United States. Coal accounts for about 50%. So while Tesla drivers may pat themselves on the back because their cars don't emit foul greenhouse gases, half the electricity needed to charge the batteries that make the cars run comes from burning coal.
If this country were to embrace electric cars in a big way, we'd probably make our emissions situation worse, not better, for all the coal we'd need to burn -- unless alternative forms of electricity generation suddenly put coal out of business, which isn't going to happen.
Then again, straining the nation's coal supply to fuel Teslas isn't a big fear. Notwithstanding Tesla's now $2-billion market value, this is a tiny, relatively irrelevant company. As of March, it had about 1,000 cars on the road. Its luxury sedan, the Model S, won't go into production until 2012. And because it will wind down the current version of its Roadster before focusing on the Model S, "we anticipate that we will generate limited revenue from selling electric vehicles in 2012," the company disclosed in its pre-IPO securities filings. Limited revenue. For an entire year. Two years from now.
Tesla is big in certain ways. It's the recipient of a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy, $45.4 million of which it had drawn down as of June 14. (Question: Why is it that Tesla can update the status of its DOE loan as of two weeks ago but can only muster sales figures as of three months ago?) Tesla's losses are big too: Through March it had an accumulated deficit of $290 million since being founded in 2003.
There was more to like in the Nasdaq newspaper ad. "Tesla builds highway-capable, zero-emission electric vehicles. No Hybrids. No hydrogen. No hype," it cooed. No hype. Well, there is CEO Elon Musk, the noted family man, pictured with fiancee and children in the papers Wednesday ringing the opening bell at the Nasdaq, who has referred to his car as a "freaking technology velociraptor."
More drily, I enjoyed the section of Tesla's IPO document where the company states that the Tesla Roadster has a range of 236 miles on a single charge. However, it continues, "Recently, the EPA announced its intention to develop and establish new energy efficiency testing methodologies for electric vehicles, which we believe could result in a significant decrease to the advertised ranges of all electric vehicles, including ours." Details, details.
It seems fitting to end by pointing out that I wrote unkindly about another unprofitable company Elon Musk helped start, PayPal, which was a similarly hyped IPO in 2002. Though right about IPO silliness, I was wrong about PayPal's prospects. I'm not saying Tesla won't succeed. I'm suggesting two things: 1) other than in the capital-raising department, both from willing investors and hopeful taxpayer-funded governments, it hasn't succeeded yet; 2) pictures of windmills aside, driving a Tesla won't save the world. Also, at least not yet.

DeMint Says Immigration Reform Will Cost Trillions
Former Senator Jim DeMint, now president of the Heritage Foundation, claimed on ABC's This Week, that the immigration reform plan released by the "Gang of Eight" seenators, would cost Americans "trillions of dollars."
DeMint was previewing what is expected to be a major report by Heritage on immigration.
The study you'll see from Heritage this week presents a staggering cost of another amnesty in our country," DeMint said this morning on "This Week," based on the "detrimental effects long-term" of government benefits that would eventually go to the millions offered a path to citizenship under the reform legislation currently being considered. "There's no reason we can't begin to fix our immigration system so that we won't make this problem worse. But the bill that's being presented is unfair to those who came here legally. It will cost Americans trillions of dollars. It'll make our unlawful immigration system worse."
A 2007 study by Robert Rector, assuming all undocumented immigrants were granted "amnesty," said the cost to the United States of immigration reform would be at least $2.6 trillion. When asked if the new Heritage estimate would be more than $2.5 trillion, DeMint responded "much more than that."
The 2007 study is not without its critics, such as Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute, who wrote in April that the study's "flawed methodology produced a grossly exaggerated cost to federal taxpayers of legalizing unauthorized immigrants while undercounting or discounting their positive tax and economic contributions."
DeMint dismissed the criticisms, including estimates by the Congressional Budget Office that say immigration reform will increase economic growth.
"Well, CBO said Obamacare wouldn't cost us anything. They're basically puppets of the Congress and the assumptions they put in the bill. Heritage is only organization that has done an analysis on the cost," DeMint said.
"If you consider all the factors related to the amnesty – and, believe me, this is comprehensive – that it will have a negative long-term impact on our gross domestic product," DeMint added. "So we just want Congress, for once, to count the cost of a bill. They're notorious for underestimating the cost and not understanding the consequences."
DeMint is correct is saying that Congress routinely underestimates the cost of major legislation, as well as ignoring unintended consequences. Recent crimes against the taxpayer in this regard include the prescription drug bill that was passed during the Bush administration and Obamacare -- the cost of which and the consequences that attend it are still being discovered.
In the case of immigration reform, the dilemma is that it is well nigh impossible to gauge how much in taxes and productivity will be added to our economy by suddenly legalized aliens. We don't know how many currently in the US illegally will take advantage of any amnesty. Nor do we know how many of those individuals have been paying taxes all along. Nor is it possible to estimate how many illegals will go on the public dole if they get a green card.
There are just too many variables to take into account to make a guess as to how much immigration reform will cost us. Applause to Heritage for making the attempt, but I think we should look at any study they release as guidance, not gospel.

Graphics cards vendor Nvidia doesn't need to lower prices across its range to compete with the new AMD R7/R9 graphics cards, a new report has claimed.
"I thought Nvidia would lower its prices, but looking at the performance of [the other R7 and R9 cards], they don't really have to," PCR was told by what it describes as 'a senior industry source'. "There isn't much performance gained in the new AMD cards, so I don't think Nvidia will move - and if they do it won't be by much."
However, our source also suggests that a price drop around the Titan could still be on the cards, and that Nvidia could launch a new Titan to better compete, following similar rumours earlier this year.
PCR has more details.

Bonds, Giants cash in Cain's gem
Bonds, Giants cash in Cain's gem
SAN FRANCISCO -- Some rookie pitchers don't have 10-win seasons. Some rookie pitchers can't throw 120 pitches each start and be able to lift their arms the next day. Some rookie pitchers only dream to be a part of a playoff hunt. Matt Cain is no ordinary rookie pitcher. The 21-year-old had another strong outing Sunday afternoon, holding the Reds scoreless through seven innings and helping the Giants to an 8-0 blowout win at AT&T Park. The victory brings San Francisco to within two games of Cincinnati's National League Wild Card lead.
"Before I met [Cain], I already knew him because of all the good things that everybody was saying about him," manager Felipe Alou said. "Everything came to be true. He's getting better every outing." Part of that improvement comes from a sense of focus and purpose that Cain is still learning. "He realizes the importance of every pitch now, as opposed to a lot of pitches that he didn't have much concentration on," Alou said. "I believe right now, every time he throws a pitch to the plate, he has some thought behind it, some strategy." In a 122-pitch effort, the right-hander held the Reds to four hits, striking out nine to give him 144 punchouts for the year. His eighth strikeout of the game pushed him into fifth place on the Giants franchise list for strikeouts in a season by a rookie pitcher. Cain got off to a strong start when he eased through a 1-2-3 first inning, which included his first two strikeouts of the game -- one to Ken Griffey Jr. "I just really wanted to come out and establish the strike zone early, and I was able to do that," Cain said. But Griffey nearly nullified that beginning, as well as Cain's scoreless outing in his next at-bat, when he roped a line drive into the cavernous 421-foot right-center field alley at AT&T Park. The slugger popped career home run No. 562 to the same part of the park Friday night. Griffey's drive smacked off the top of the wall, some six inches from actually clearing it. He was able to hustle into second base for a double, before two more strikeouts stranded him there. "Thankfully, good ballpark," Cain said of containing Griffey's shot. "It was a changeup that I left up, and he just crushed it." Cain's dazzling performance was aided by a big offensive day for the Giants. Ray Durham's first-inning RBI single gave the Giants a quick 1-0 lead, and two runs were plated the next inning when Pedro Feliz and Eliezer Alfonzo scored on a bloop single by Omar Vizquel.
Shea Hillenbrand also had a big afternoon, going 3-for-4 with a double and two RBIs. Hillenbrand, who was batting .228 entering Saturday's game, ended the homestand with a .252 batting average and a four-game hitting streak (8-for-15). "I feel real comfortable right now," Hillenbrand said. "It's just one of those things where baseball's crazy sometimes, and you go through some downs in the season, and you pile that on some other things." Alou has seen this type of production from Hillenbrand before, and he hopes the infielder can carry it through the remainder of the season. "The way he's swinging, we've seen that before," Alou said. "He could carry a team for weeks." Barry Bonds was another big offensive contributor. After receiving a day off Saturday, the left fielder had a 3-for-3 afternoon Sunday, knocking a double off the right-field wall and drawing his 100th walk of the season. It marks the 13th time in his 21-year career that he's walked at least 100 times, tying him with Babe Ruth for the most in Major League history. Bonds was unavailable for comment after the game. "[Bonds] looks pretty good out there, especially after an off-day," Alou said. While Alou was more than pleased to see Bonds' two-single, one-double effort, he understands that fans are also hoping to see the slugger dump a few balls into McCovey Cove. "Well, right now I don't believe he's getting pitches to hit homers," Alou said. "He's getting pitches to do what he's doing now, and we need that. A walk and a single is the same thing, but the single drives in runs."

WLM - Search only on subject - not in mail body
I have two machines. Both win 7 / 32 bit same WLM version
Indexing OK
I rebuilt twice - also changed store folder to force recreation...
One machine - Search find both on mail subject and mail body
Second machine - Search find only in subject
Any idea ???
|My System Specs

On my 2009 version of WLM there is both a search box and an edit/find/message dialog option. The box only searches the mail headers while the dialog lets you specifiy where to search (i.e. you have to put your search terms in the "message" field if you want to search message bodies).

Sorry - but what do you mean downloaded ?
both machine are WLM, same version and connected to Hotmail account
I see all emails on both machines....
Please explain a bit more
thank you !!!

If your accounts are POP3 then the bodies and headers are downloaded together when you choose "Send and Receive" or automatically if you have chosen that option.
|My System Specs
|28 Mar 2012
1 - Uninstall WLM completely - including deletion of the email folder contents physically
2 - Create the folder where you want to store emails
3 - Add this email folder to Indexing folders
4 - Reinstall WLM
5 - Point email folder to the one defined in step 2
6 - Add your hotmail account
Search now finds all - in Subject and Body
Hope this helps
Thanks all for help

I guess it might be because the store folder was changed and afterwards was added to the Indexing folders list.
It started to work properly after I deleted all new email folder contents, re-populated it from scratch while its folder was already defined in the indexing options.
Just a guess....

It happened one night. New Year's Eve to be precise. The grand tradition of the slightly intoxicated stumble home was soon followed by the patented slump onto the sofa complete with the all-important flick-on-a-bad-movie wrist reflex and … nothing.
Foxtel had switched off the movie channels. All of them. The strap across the bottom informed me I was on the movie channels, but they all seemed to be playing Silent Film in a Dark Room.
As an entertainment journalist, a single press release promising a ''Blockbuster line-up for Foxtel Movies'' had crossed my desk in the weeks prior relating to the replacement of the Showtime and Movie Extra channels. As a subscriber, a sum total of nothing had been sent through.
By the next morning, service had been resumed. Unfortunately as we all now know, the service had also been redefined. Fewer movie channels were now available. They were all split according to genre. And they weren't all available.
I soon saw the feature length commercial explaining how much better off I now am. It seems I not only have an increased opportunity to pay per movie - it was frustrating before, I didn't feel like I was giving something back - but the carefully structured genre packages that are the hallmarks of any civilised society had arrived. The best part, I was assured, was that the channels had already been carefully assigned to me.
What a service! Foxtel had clearly spent hours looking through my viewing records, probably using a complex algorithm. Perhaps they used Dexter from Perfect Match to calculate our compatabilities? No.
So what do I now know about myself? Apparently as someone who had previously chosen the Showtime network when my package required me to select one of the two then-available, similar and competitive movie options, I had actually made some unwitting, sweeping statements about the type of film I like.
Comedies are apparently important to me, but only if they star Adam Sandler, Kevin James, or have an exclamation mark in the title. I am also apparently very interested in DramaRoms, a statement I can neither confirm nor deny as that is neither a word nor a contraction that makes any kind of sense.
Aren't romances, by their nature, dramatic? Unless they have Katherine Heigl in them, that is.
So, too, Foxtel would have us believe, half of the film watchers in Australia are uninterested in any films that have been ''critically acclaimed'' and thus consigned to the forbidden Movies Masterpiece. We're too busy watching Heigl be DraRomtic or RomDratic or some such. We are the cinematic lactose intolerant when it comes to the creme de la creme.
So thank you, Foxtel, for proving that concerns voiced by bodies such as the ACCC on monopoly control are so clearly wide of the mark. By eliminating two competing movie networks and replacing them with a shamelessly self-serving model whose apparent aim is pushing subscribers who already pay more than $100 a month to a pay-per-view system, combined with a marketing campaign of zero warning followed by patronising dismissal, you have taken a huge step towards justifying internet piracy in the minds of thousands.

Dr. Peabody in the Cambridge Tribune pays the following tribute to the late John Langdon Sibley. "His whole life has been a sacrifice of himself. Trained in a frugal home, and for many years with straightened income, he first made use of enlarged means in relieving distress and want, and in helping students who were struggling under adverse circumstances. He practised the most rigid economy as to his own personal expenses, that he might enjoy the greater luxury of a generous giver. He repaid the aid that he received at Phillips Exeter Academy by funds which, with their accumulations, now amount to nearly forty thousand dollars. He has been the liberal benefactor of Bowdoin College and of numerous charitable associations. He has stood between many worthy persons in various conditions of life and utter want and despair, and has tided over hard passages in life not a few who feel indebted to him for ultimate success and prosperity. Nor has he been generous in money alone, but in personal service, in the hospitality of his house, and in gifts chosen with equal delicacy for the feelings and regard for the needs of the recipient. Indeed, the considerate courtesy which is an essential part of the true kindness marked his whole social intercourse, regardless as he was of some of the conventional forms that are often the expression of - perhaps as often the substitute for - heart-courtesy.
Those loved him most who knew him best, and they can hardly imagine that he could have ever lost a friend or made an enemy."

Want to Fight Allergies? Get a Dirty Dog
A dog in the house is more than just good company. There's increasing evidence that exposure to dogs and livestock early in life can lessen the chances of infants later developing allergies and asthma. Now, researchers have traced this beneficial health effect to a microbe living in the gut. Their study, in mice, suggests that supplementing an infant's diet with the right mix of bacteria might help prevent allergies—even without a pet pooch.
The Secret Half-Lives of Scientific Papers
Scholarly papers can have relatively long "half-lives," finds a new survey. More than one-half of the total downloads of the articles covered by the survey took place more than 2 years after publication, while in some fields it took more than 4 years for a paper to hit its half-life. The findings come as governments around the world attempt to establish policies and deadlines for making government-funded research published in private journals freely available to the public.
Ancient felines hunted crop-destroying rats and mice for early farmers, and in return we provided food and protection. At least that's what scientists have long speculated. Now, they can back it up. Cat bones unearthed in a 5000-year-old Chinese farming village indicate that the animals consumed rodents and that some may have been cared for by humans. The findings provide the earliest hard evidence of this mutually beneficial relationship between man and cat.
Swine Flu Connection Provides Clues About Narcolepsy
The 2009 swine flu pandemic had a peculiar aftereffect in Europe: More children were diagnosed with narcolepsy, an incurable sleep disorder. Researchers eventually linked this increase to a widely used swine flu vaccine. Now, they've figured out how the vaccine might have triggered narcolepsy—and may have a new understanding of the disease itself.
NIH Details Plan for BRAIN Initiative
After nearly a year of meetings and public debate, the National Institutes of Health today announced how it intends to spend its share of funding for the BRAIN Initiative, a $110 million U.S. effort to jump-start the development of new technologies that can map the brain's vast and intricate neural circuits in action. In short, it's looking for big ideas, such as taking a census of all the cells in the brain, even if there's little data so far on how to accomplish them.
Polynesians May Have Invented Binary Math
The binary system could be far older even than the invention of computers or even the invention of binary math in the West. According to a pair of anthropologists, the residents of a tiny Polynesian island may have been doing calculations in binary centuries before it was described by Gottfried Leibniz, the co-inventor of calculus, in 1703.

The Global Perspective
At the Christian Science Plaza in the Back Bay stands a concrete skyscraper of such nobilty of design it enhances the domed basilica of a hundred years ago.
This focus is particular to what the editor of a university press series on great cities has called "Centers of Civilization." Consider, for instance, the way Papal Rome trumps, historically, that city's role as capital of Italy. Similarly, the fact that Boston is a regional capital is much less significant, in the perspective Shand-Tucci's work employs, than the fact that since the post-Civil War period, Boston has been one of three national capitals.
Washington is first, having achieved, after the Civil War, its full stature as the country's political capital. Around the same time New York emerged as the nation's financial and media capital. And at the same time Boston, "Cradle of Liberty" and "American Athens", consolidated its role as America's intellectual capital. (This trinity has varied in the twentieth century only insofar as Los Angeles has become the pre-eminent entertainment capital).
In fact, by the early twentieth century the British philosopher Alfred North Whitehead would relate Boston's role to that of the entire western world, declaring that "insofar as the world of learning possesses a capital city, Boston, with its neighboring institutions, approximates the position that Paris held in the Middle Ages."

There's one gutenberg-bible to be seen at the Plantin Museum in Antwerp,
the other I have seen is in Bodmer's library in Geneva Switzerland.
That institute is situated outside the town, at the slope of the lake.
Marvelous library. Bodmer was the first director of the Red Cross.
I have seen there a big foliant printed by the great Bodoni himself.
Even touching the paper, and keep it im my hand. They have so much there.
No comments on the technical part of my mail...
