Compiled by Kate Bennett, KF16, Peru
This week's Fellows Blog is armed with stories from the field: stories of the uncertain world borrowers live in, and how they (and we) cope with it. We've learned that everyone gets tired running a 5K in Paraguay, but for a good enough cause, we can will our legs to power through it. That everyone gets scared during an afternoon earthquake in Peru, but even so, borrowers, coworkers, and Field Partners will lend a hand to anyone that needs it. That everyone gets hungry, but there are no shortage of Kiva borrowers in Peru who are ready and willing to whip up some lunch. That everyone gets sick, but there are openhanded Kiva Field Partners in Ecuador trying to extend financial support to those who might not get better anytime soon. And sadly, we've had to learn that for all of our strengths and fortitude, no one is impervious to the sting of death. It affects everyone that plays a part of Kiva's story, but those left behind can honored these individuals by persevering all the more.
"Fundación Paraguaya al Mundo": 5K to Tanzania
Country: Paraguay / Fellow: Alba Castillo, KF16
Run stride by stride with Alba in Fundación Paraguaya's 5K through financially self-sufficient and award-winning San Francisco Agricultural School all the way (figuratively, at least) to FP's sister institution Teach a Man to Fish's 25 rural and semi-rural schools in Tanzania.
Earthquake! (and Disaster Mitigation through Microfinance)
Country: Peru/ Fellow: Kate Bennett, KF15 & KF16
Though the earth beneath Caja Señor de Luren's feet may be shaky, Caja's clients are solid footing due to the services that microfinance institutions can offer in times of uncertainty.
Visiting an HIV-Clinic in Guayaquil (Part I)
Country: Ecuador / Fellow: Emmanuel M. von Arx, KF16
Emmanuel visits an HIV+ clinic with Banco D-MIRO clients, who though facing an extremely difficult future, are using microloans to take a little more control over their prospects.
Remembering Rizky: VisionFund Indonesia Loses One of Their Own
Country: Indonesia/ Fellow: Laurie Young, KF16
In this poignant post from Kiva Fellow Laurie Young in Indonesia, VisionFund and Laurie remember Loan Officer Rizky, and we're reminded of the sacrifices that every loan officer make daily for their work and their clients.
If It Is Thursday, It Must Be Sakarya + What is Bohça?
Country: Turkey / Fellow: Kim Strathearn, KF16
For those of you unfamiliar with both of these terms, look no further. Though, in Sakayra, Turkey the Bohça trade is much more familiar, it is by no means less engrossing to its enthusiastic participants.
Ica's Next Top Chef
Country: Peru / Fellow: Kate Bennett, KF15 & KF16
What do two Kiva clients, family matriarchs, and the name María Victoria have in common? A tendency to make delicious food, and to repay one's loans on time.

Misae shawl
So, here's Misae! I know, I know, my color choice seems to remind a bit of Christmas, but I really love the colors together, so there, I don't care. Besides, I have enough shawls to wear throughout the year, so I can wear this around Christmas time, if I want to. ;o) I came up with several color combos for this shawl, but this one won, because just looking at it relaxed me, and made me smile.
Argh, there are so many white dog hairs on it. I was blocking it in the dining room, and many inquiring doggy noses came by to see if I did a good job, and they were shedding all over it. Sigh.
pattern: Misae by Alexandra Wiedmayer
yarn: Patons Kroy socks (black), Spritely Goods Naiad - Absinthe (green), The Copper Corgi Fiber Studio - Bloody 'hell (red)
size: 92" x 24" or 233cm x 60cm

WOW! That is one gorgeous shawl! I love the colors and see what you mean about not attempting colors different that what the pattern calls for. Beautiful!
- March 23, 2013 8:32 a.m.
The colors do not immediately bring to mind Christmas. I see many varieties of chili peppers! Absolutely lovely! You should definitely wear this year round.

Wow, that is gorgeous! You've made me want to knit it. I already have one skein of the M.T so that must be a sign, lol.

Monika, this shawl is so beautiful, such artistry in your knitting (and displaying) it ! You know, I do the very same thing, want constantly to put deep reds and mossy greens together, and constantly I'm telling myself 'do not want Christmas here now' and well, its just funny, because you have pulled it off... and I didn't even get the slightest Christmasy feel from it. I think Christmas is certain shades of red and green... no worries there, you pulled your colorway off perfectly. Nice Nice Nice !!!

Just beautiful! Maybe not as Christmasy as you think. The green is not evergreen and the red leans toward orange. Anonymous said it well -- more South West chili peppers.

Spectacular in every way. I adore the colour combo!

(( The following is a general catch-all story thread, largely inspired by Ketani's current "assignment" for progression within the Twilight Empire. Many posts will be in italicized journal format, though I will try to keep the italicized-only posts to a minimum. Enjoy! ))
"Fel damn it!"
The soft blue glow, tenuous at best, flickered and faded into nothingness. Its death elicited a frustrated growl from the burgundy-haired woman attempting to coax the glow into existence. "Wretched—I know I—" She sighed. "Nether take it, and you, Jhaafenn, for that look." The Fel Hunter in question let out a quiet huff and swayed his tentacles in another direction, no longer interested now that his mistress's magical attempts had petered out.
Ketani returned her attention to the project before her. At the last Steward's meeting she'd promised Aryanna—cousin and Path Leader both—that she would make some progress on her assignment. The nethermancer had thought prodding fellow Imperials to meet with her and discuss their craft and trade skills had been an arduous enough task, but crafting the vessel which would house her gathered information was proving to be even worse. Ketani envisioned an enchanted book of some sort that would return information in response to vocal commands. Input was not a problem, as she had perfected that with her notebook for this assignment—but retrieval was causing issues.
The warlock brushed away some wayward dust, the only remnant of a wasted shard, and took stock of her remaining inventory. A few components were low—almost completely diminished...she would have to acquire some more before making another attempt.
But not tonight.
Now that this avenue of productivity was blockaded for the time being, tonight could be spent in more pleasurable pursuits.
Copper-hued eyes cast about the small apartment housed within the Scryer's Tier of Shattrath City. She could perhaps have more room elsewhere, but these were established and familiar. They also provided close access to her preferred cloth supplier, and Miralisse had proven invaluable in her latest project: the nearly-completed gown created specifically for her cherished cousin's wedding.
The gown's style was similar to, and inspired by, robes worn by Chancellor Skylah. Where hers were red and black, offering almost a sultry appearance, Ketani's creation was pale with blues that would make the bride's eyes shine and muted golds to brighten the glow of her skin. The cloth would shimmer in the natural light of their chosen venue, draping and clinging in all the proper areas. Once complete, it would be an elegant, beautiful work of art fit for the elegant beauty of the woman who would wear it.
Ketani only hoped Katelle would love it as much as she was loved by Ketani. With a soft sigh, the seamstress bent to continue work on her wedding gift.

text: Our modern understanding of stellar evolution states that our Sun is a middle-aged main sequence star, destined to bellow up into a Red Giant in a few billion years and eventually wind up as a degenerate white dwarf embedded in a shroud of a planetary nebula. Looking out at the stars in various stages of evolution in our galaxy, we see systems that have done just that. These Red Giants often exhibit a rhythmic oscillation as their atmospheres swell and contract, but about one third also display a longer five year variation that scientists do not completely understand. Now, a study conducted by the European Southern Observatories Very Large Telescope (VLT) is looking into this mystery by studying 58 sun-like stars towards their elderly Red Giant stage located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Known since the 1930s, this mystery has baffled astronomers. Astronomers are left in the dark, and for once, we do not enjoy it, stated Christine Nicholls of Australias Mount Stromlo Observatory. Some of the long term pulsations could be explained by the presence of an unseen binary companion, but not all. This phenomenon is of special interest to astrophysicists because our own Sun may one day throw similar temper tantrums. Could stellar evolution be in need of tweaking?

It is free to search locals
Call Girls are more than simply the latest trend, they are the truth. Nowadays, there are hundreds of various types of escorts from all around the world that are all used by numerous suppliers and sites. You can select a girl that you find appealing, and not necessarily your financial worth, so that you can use to employ them at a rate you can manage.
This is an extremely clever method to ensure a fast and smooth sexual relationship that will be satisfying to both parties. When you employ a girl for a low-cost cost, you have absolutely nothing to fret about. In the same way, you do not need to feel bad about employing a girl because she is low-cost and you do not need to spend a fortune for her. This may look like it is cheating on your spending plan, but it is actually a healthy method to tackle things.
A few years earlier, I used to wonder why it was much better to employ escorts at a low price than to go with a date and have a sexual relationship. In today's society where one can discover prostitutes quickly with a basic search on the web, it is still possible to enjoy a sexual relationship with a woman who will cost less than $100. You will just be investing half the time you would to get in bed with a prostitute.
This likewise makes it a lot easier since you will not need to go to a club or even the fitness center to work out and work on your stamina and sex drive. Most males will feel more refreshed and passionate after spending some time with a woman who is affordable and cheap.
Sex in the bars and clubs does not compare to having sex with a woman who is unique, elegant, and expensive. In addition, it is harder to stay devoted to the sweetheart if she is not someone you can trust. You will be able to save cash if you get your own sex life.
A fine example of this is having sex with a girl who is made to look perfect, have a terrific body and a gorgeous face. When you are searching for escorts to look after your requirements, you want to discover the very best girls that have the ability to offer you with an intimate experience that you will remember forever.

How do you discover the finest escorts? The first step is finding an excellent location online to find the very best low-cost escort ads. You need to make sure that the websites that you go to are reputable so that you do not run the risk of wasting your money and time and discover the wrong girl.
Second, you ought to attempt to think of the important things that you desire from a girl. Do you desire a girl that will give you a sensuous and quick session, or do you wish to have a psychological connection with her?
The rate is necessary when it concerns Call Girls, however you likewise want to look at the service that the girl will use. Do you wish to spend for a one-hour session or would you rather pay for a full night of sex?
Finally, consider the type of services that you will be receiving from the girls you meet and search for hot girls that want to please you. The point is to find the most remarkable woman and ensure that you do not opt for anything less.
Finding a girl with a deep love for you is the only method to make her love you. And there is nothing even worse than opting for an inexpensive woman and then discovering later on that you were deceived by her low price. You should never opt for anything less than what you desire.
You can choose a girl that you discover appealing, and not necessarily your financial worth, so that you can offer to hire them at a rate you can manage.
When you employ a girl for an economical cost, you have absolutely nothing to fret about. In the exact same method, you do not have to feel bad about employing a girl because she is low-cost and you do not have to spend a fortune for her. You need to make sure that the websites that you go to are reputable so that you do not risk wasting your time and cash and find the incorrect girl.
Discovering a girl with a deep love for you is the only method to make her love you.

Blues aim to get back on track in Winnipeg
(SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Blues try to get themselves right on Tuesday when they visit the Winnipeg Jets at MTS Centre.
St. Louis suffered a rare home loss on Sunday, as it fell behind early in a 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks at Scottrade Center. Jaden Schwartz and Patrik Berglund tallied for the Blues, who have dropped three of four.
Jaroslav Halak was pulled after giving up three goals on eight shots in 7 1/2 minutes of action. Brian Elliott finished the contest with 13 stops and may find himself between the pipes on Tuesday.
"I need to look at myself and everybody else needs to probably find the answers," Halak said.
Over the past four games St. Louis, which dropped to 12-2-2 at home on the year, has been outscored 9-1 in the first period, 9-0 in the three losses.
"I think it's the same for every game," head coach Ken Hitchcock said. "When you don't have a mindset of checking, then that affects your competitive level, races for pucks, puck battles, 50-50 pucks. When your mindset is something other than checking to start with, that affects everything. It's been the same. We went through this last year, and it was, what, a month we went through this where we had to change our attitude towards what was important.
"We'll score lots if we check better. We'll get way more offensive-zone time. We're just chasing the game. We're chasing the game because we're not starting with the puck, we're not keeping the puck, we're not determined when we're being checked, and we're not determined when we're checking, so you play slow. We look slow and then we speed up as the game goes on. We got more competitive as the game went on, but we're allowing the other team to dictate the checking tempo and it affects every part of our game."
St. Louis, though, has still scored two or more goals on home ice in 22 straight games dating to last season. Now, the Blues head to Winnipeg to take on a Jets team that has played well of late.
On Saturday, Winnipeg won for the second time in three games, as Mark Scheifele scored 1:04 into overtime to give the Jets a 2-1 decision over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Blake Wheeler had the Jets' regulation goal before later setting up Scheifele's game-winner to help Winnipeg complete a successful six-game road trip with a 4-2-0 record.
"3-3 would not have felt very good," Jets head coach Claude Noel said. "4-2 is a lot more comforting for us. It would have been disappointing to go home 3-3."
Al Montoya did his part between the pipes for Winnipeg, turning aside 28-of-29 shots in the triumph.
"I thought Montoya played really strong," Noel said. "He battled back hard."
Winnipeg, though, has lost three in a row on home ice and will be trying to avoid their first four-game losing streak at MTS Centre since Feb.7-17 of last season.
The Blues are 4-0-1 in the last five matchups with the Jets and won 3-2 in the most recent one Oct. 29.

Derick Rethans has two new posts about some of his current involvement in the PHP community - one about an article, and one about a conference.
In this month's issue of php|architect you can find an article on the eZ components. In this article I explain the goals for the project as well as architectural decisions that we took while developing this components library. It also shows a small example on how to use the components. Unfortunately the service (http://geo.derickrethans.nl.) it talks about is not yet life... I should get that going soon.
And, in reference to the upcoming php|tek conference:
Some time ago I already wrote that I will be speaking at php|tek. Besides the three talks I will also give a tutorial/workshop on (proper) database design and optimization.
His talks will include: "A Developer's Guide to Successful Database Design", "eZ Components - RAD for PHP", and "Derick's Ranting Hour".
For a complete listing of the schedule of the conference, check out the php|architect site detailing the conference.

Market Scene: New York Greenmarkets on a Sunday
Snapshots from the farmers market.
The long afternoon light cast a lazy hue yesterday on three of lower Manhattan's Greenmarkets. Most of New York's Greenmarkets aren't open on Sundays, but this cluster from Grand Street in Chinatown up through Tompkins Square Park to Stuyvesant/Peter Cooper Village is the perfect place for stocking up on summer's bounty with fewer crowds than Union Square, and far more neighborhood charm.
My afternoon began at Grand and Norfolk Streets where a modest string of vendors were sweating under the hot sun, competing with the extensive network of cheap produce shops that already exist in Chinatown. It was a quiet little market with only a handful of customers. Fantasy Fruit Farm had a stand and were disappointingly out of Tristar strawberries, but I did pick up a pint of blackberries that were so ripe, they bled purplish juices all over my fingers.
Norwich Meadows Farm had the most varied and extensive selection of produce, all of which looked stunning: heirloom tomatoes, all kinds of bell and chili peppers, small eggplants, baby artichokes, cranberry beans, summer squash, many colors of beets, chards and kales, celery, and onions.
After picking up some tiny yellow filet bush beans (they look like pale yellow haricot verts), I wound up towards the East Village, across Houston Street and up to Avenue A at 7th Street, at the Southwest corner of Tompkins Square Park. Compared to Grand Street, this place was hopping: crowds of chess players traded moves at the concrete tables while 15 or so vendors sold produce of every imaginable color and shape. Somewhere, a concert went on with its muffled bass absorbed by the overhanging trees. At the Madura Farms stand I was most impressed with their gorgeous and rare mushroom selection, including Maitake, the king of oyster, shiitake, Lion's Mane, cremini, and portobello varieties. They also had other current standards like carrots and beets.
On the corner of Avenue A and 7th Streets, Stannard Farm had big beautiful watermelons on sale for $3 each, as well as 50-cent corn, red and green tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, and green and yellow beans.
I spotted one of their watermelons in the hand of a chess player, who was handily beating his opponent while ostentatiously chewing and slurping.
On my way further up Avenue A, I saw a second stand from the Fantasy Fruit people, also out of strawberries, but selling the same juicy ripe blackberries and blueberries.
Toigo Orchards, also in wide operation at Washington D.C. area farmers' markets, had beautiful plums and peaches, offering samples of both. Next to them, there was a second stand by the folks at Norwich Meadows Farm; once again, so colorful and varied that it trumped all the others.
After Tompkins Square Park, I headed for the final stop of the afternoon, the market hidden inside Stuyvesant Town (enter at Avenue A and 14th Street and bear right). At this point I'd seen all the produce I could see, but I was still charmed by the market's beautiful setting: inside Stuyvesant you forget you're in New York City, and this market--nestled in a park near playing children and acres of grass--was no different.
Norwich Meadow Farms was holding court again, but Migliorelli had some better prices on most items.
I sampled a few of the jams and chutneys from Beth's Farm Kitchen and took in the salty sea air near the Seatuck Fish Company booth from Eastport, Long Island.
Tired from walking but invigorated by the community charm that Greenmarkets inspire, I headed out from Stuyvesant Town, back into the hustle of 14th Street and took the Subway home. If I ever need Greenmarket produce on a Sunday again, lower Manhattan is where you'll find me.

RBI alumni have presence in postseason
Six of 10 playoff teams field players with ties to growing MLB program
Together, they have traveled from the small stage to the big one.
Several graduates of Major League Baseball's RBI program -- which stands for Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities -- have gone on to stardom in the big leagues, and a few were still alive in the postseason entering Wednesday night. Six of the 10 playoff teams, in fact, have at least one alumnus of the RBI program on board.
Two players with RBI ties -- Tampa Bay first baseman James Loney and Cleveland outfielder Michael Bourn -- were involved in Wednesday night's American League Wild Card Game. Two more -- outfielders Chris Young and Coco Crisp -- play for the Oakland A's, champions of the AL West.
There is also star power in the group, with the Braves' Justin Upton and the Dodgers' Carl Crawford representing the RBI program. Jackie Bradley Jr., one of the game's heralded youngsters, has a chance to be on the roster when the Red Sox suit up for the American League Division Series.
"We're very fortunate," said Tom Brasuell, MLB's vice president of community affairs. "RBI gives a couple hundred thousand kids the opportunity to play baseball and softball each year, and every time a player gets drafted, it's kind of like a bonus. Loney, Crawford and Crisp have all played in the RBI World Series, so of course we'd be looking forward to them playing in the World Series."
Around for more than 20 years, RBI has seen incredible growth over the last six years. Track back to 2008, in fact, and the program had fewer than 100,000 kids. That number has doubled in the last five seasons, thanks largely to the advent of a Jr. RBI division and expansion to new areas.
"It's pretty cool," Loney said. "Just seeing those guys progress is awesome. [Being in the program] was fun. I was young. We got to go to Disney World and stuff like that. It was a good time."
There are participating RBI leagues all over the country, and under the leadership of program director David James, there has even been international outgrowth. There are kids and teams from the Dominican Republic, Curacao, Venezuela and soon Panama playing under the RBI umbrella.
"The growth has definitely been world-wide, and the biggest growth has come from the Jr. RBI program, which gives kids ages 5 to 12 a chance to learn, enjoy and play the game of baseball," Brasuell said of the next generation of RBI alumni. "We've had huge growth there, and I think the age group is responsible for abut 50 percent of the growth of the program. We're reaching younger kids, and the program is world-wide now. When we have a World Series, it's truly a World Series."
Brasuell said the current base of MLB players have been fantastic with the RBI program, interacting with the kids at the stadium and holding free instructional clinics to further their game. Furthermore, he said, all 30 teams supported the RBI leagues, and about 20 of them ran a league directly.
But it is the most visible faces -- players like Crawford and Loney who make it out of an RBI league and all the way to the Majors -- who make the biggest difference. They are in the postseason, and they are highly visible, and they give hope to all the children currently enrolled in the program.
And if baseball does not work out, there is always the program's other main emphasis: scholarship. RBI stresses the importance of academics and has made a huge difference with the RBI for RBI Scholarship, a $5,000 a year grant for student-athletes who particularly excel in the classroom.
Major League Baseball has distributed a little more than 60 of those scholarships since 2008, and it recently celebrated the first graduating class of RBI scholars. There is another group graduating this year, and for Brasuell, they tell the story of the program as well as any Major Leaguer.
"They say, 'You know, if it weren't for RBI, I may not have been able to go to college,'" Brasuell said. "'This cemented how important college was, and it's because of RBI that I'm able to go to college.' We see how key that is, and there's no beating the connection and support of an MLB program."
The RBI program is already well represented on the field and beyond, and the outgrowth is only beginning.
"We kind of hit a home run when we got David James from Little League Baseball," Brasuell said. "He's just really been a great find, and his staff has been exceptional and a huge reason for the growth of the program -- both at the tournament level and beyond. I think we had a record amount of teams participating in regional tournaments this year, and we've expanded our training for coaches."

Romulan-Klingon relations apparently were very erratic over the 23rd and 24th centuries.
- 2267: The Romulan Star Empire uses Klingon-designed D7-class battle cruisers. That same year, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire (along with the Federation) jointly establish a colony on Nimbus III, officially declaring it 'the planet of galactic peace'. (TOS: "The Enterprise Incident", Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
- 2271: The Empire achieves a memorable victory over the Romulans at the Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt. (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless")
- 2285: Klingon vessels use cloaking devices. (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
- 2292: By this year, the Romulans are considered "blood enemies" in the Klingon Empire. (TNG: "Reunion")
- 2293: After the Praxis disaster, Klingon Chancellor Gorkon pursues a full peace treaty with the Federation but is assassinated by the Romulan-influenced Khitomer conspiracy. Despite this attempt to prevent a Klingon-Federation alliance, Gorkon's daughter and new Chancellor, Azetbur, later concludes the peace at the Khitomer Conference. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
- 2344: The Romulans attack a Klingon outpost on Narendra III. As the Federation starship USS Enterprise-C responds to the Klingon distress signal and subsequently sacrifices itself, this attack caused the Federation-Klingon alliance to grow even stronger. (TNG: "Yesterday's Enterprise", "Redemption")
- 2346: With the help of the Klingon traitor Ja'rod of the House of Duras, the Romulans commit the Khitomer Massacre, killing almost all of the 4,000 Klingon colonists on Khitomer. This happened at a time when, according to Worf, "the Romulans were supposed to be our [the Klingon's] allies". (TNG: "The Neutral Zone", "Sins of the Father")
- 2350: Romulan forces fail in an attempt to board Klingon General ShiVang's flagship. That same year, later Romulan Praetor Neral's family are killed in a Klingon attack. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach", "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges")
- 2367: Gowron, who is opposing the House of Duras, becomes new Chancellor. His position is quickly challenged but eventually affirmed in the brief Klingon Civil War against the Romulan-influenced, but ultimately inferior, House of Duras. (TNG: "Reunion", "Redemption")
- 2374-2375: The Klingon and Romulan Empires become part of the Federation Alliance, jointly fighting and eventually defeating the Dominion with the Treaty of Bajor.
The existence of a "Romulan-Klingon alliance" in the 23rd century has never been explicitly stated. In "The Enterprise Incident", all that was said was that "Intelligence reports Romulans now using Klingon design." The Making of Star Trek (finished during the early part of the third season of TOS) does say, however, that the intention at the time was to have the Klingons and Romulans form an alliance against the Federation. The only real indication in any series that an alliance was ever in effect is in "Reunion", where Riker says in response to a suggestion that the Klingons and Romulans were working together: "A new Klingon alliance with the Romulans?" By saying "new" it implies that there had been an "old" one at some point. The two powers were "blood enemies" for 75 years prior to the episode, so any former alliance would most likely have had to have ended prior to that. The Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt in 2271, mentioned in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Blood Oath", might have been at or near that end of the alliance, as it took place 96 years prior to the episode. However, since another 21 years would pass prior to being blood enemies, it is likely the alliance attempted to remain intact thereafter.
It is possible that the Romulans and Klingons had a second alliance as well. In "The Neutral Zone", Worf says the Romulans "killed my parents in an attack on Khitomer at a time when they were supposed to be our allies." That was 2346, and would require that the two races be both blood enemies and allied powers at the same time. This is possible as governments will often put aside philosophical or historical differences in favor of political expediency or gain, but it is highly speculative. However, in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, there are Romulan delegates present at the Khitomer Conference, so it is possible that some kind of relationship between the Klingons and the Romulans also extended from those events (even though Nanclus turned out to be one of the conspirators involved in the assassination of Gorkon and the Federation president).
According to the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Journal, the Romulan cloaking device was acquired by the Klingons as an exchange for several D7-class battle cruisers for the Romulans during the Alliance. In fact according to apocryphal accounts, in Seven Deadly Sins, Romulans required the power system of the D7-class ships to provide the power required to use the new improved cloaking device.

It takes a special level of mechanical skill to misalign an assembly held together with roll pins....
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
You neglected to say what the roll pin aligned. If the roll pin is the proper size then alignment should be correct since in most cases this is their function. A
to small or damaged pin can cause misalignment. A good Mechanic would have been aware of either case and would not have chanced a misalignment.
You live and you learn, but if you never learn, at least you are still living.
I remember a few "techs" at IBM who regularly screwed stuff up ...
1) Just REMOVE a few pins - allows wide "adjustments" to alignment.
2) Not "adjustable" enough --- pull out the B_H (Big Flippin Hammer)
. . and *speak* to the assembly ... all roll pins *BEND* (or break) - eventually.
For the past month I have been trying to get several contractors to do some minor work for me. After an initial visit and price quote, we set up a time for the work to be done. Either they call and postpone or just don't show up at all and don't return phone calls.

Dead Inside is a zombie apocalyptic RPG survival game from new indie game company, Sector7Games. The game is based on the idea that the protagonist and his family have been trying to survive for a number of weeks amongst an undead society. In the beginning of the game, the protagonist leaves his family to look for supplies which are already scarce. As he returns home, he finds his wife and daughter's bodies, still on the floor, surrounded in blood with unbelievable flesh wounds to their necks and wrists. At that moment, a news bulletin from the government warns all survivors to be cautious around any dead bodies, and if safe, dismember the head from the neck, severing all nerves. The protagonist sees that there is no other option than to destroy his families bodies. After this, he stocks up on weapons and prepares for war !

Cystic fibrosis is a disease passed down through families that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other areas of the body. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults. It is a life-threatening disorder.
See also:
Cystic fibrosis - nutritional considerations
Neonatal cystic fibrosis screening
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a defective gene which causes the body to produce abnormally thick and sticky fluid, called mucus. This mucus builds up in the breathing passages of the lungs and in the pancreas, the organ that helps to break down and absorb food.
This collection of sticky mucus results in life-threatening lung infections and serious digestion problems. The disease may also affect the sweat glands and a man's reproductive system.
Millions of Americans carry the defective CF gene, but do not have any symptoms. That's because a person with CF must inherit two defective CF genes -- one from each parent. An estimated 1 in 29 Caucasian Americans have the CF gene. The disease is the most common, deadly, inherited disorder affecting Caucasians in the United States. It's more common among those of Northern or Central European descent.
Most children with CF are diagnosed by age 2. A small number, however, are not diagnosed until age 18 or older. These patients usually have a milder form of the disease.
Symptoms in newborns may include:
Delayed growth
Failure to gain weight normally during childhood
No bowel movements in first 24 to 48 hours of life
Salty-tasting skin
Symptoms related to bowel function may include:
Belly pain from severe constipation
Increased gas, bloating, or a belly that appears swollen (distended)
Nausea and loss of appetite
Stools that are pale or clay colored, foul smelling, have mucus, or that float
Weight loss
Symptoms related to the lungs and sinuses may include:
Coughing or increased mucus in the sinuses or lungs
Nasal congestion caused by nasal polyps
Recurrent episodes of pneumonia. Symptoms in someone with cystic fibrosis include:
Increased coughing
Increased shortness of breath
Loss of appetite
More sputum
Sinus pain or pressure caused by infection or polyps
Symptoms that may be noticed later in life:
Infertility (in men)
Repeated inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
Respiratory symptoms
Signs and tests
A blood test is available to help detect CF. The test looks for variations in a gene known to cause the disease. Other tests use to diagnose CF include:
Immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT) test is a standard newborn screening test for CF. A high level of IRT suggests possible CF and requires further testing.
Sweat chloride test is the standard diagnostic test for CF. A high salt level in the patient's sweat is a sign of the disease.
Other tests that identify problems that can be related to cystic fibrosis include:
Chest x-ray or CT scan
Fecal fat test
Lung function tests
Measurement of pancreatic function
Secretin stimulation test
Trypsin and chymotrypsin in stool
Upper GI and small bowel series
An early diagnosis of CF and a comprehensive treatment plan can improve both survival and quality of life. Follow-up and monitoring are very important. If possible, patients should be cared for at cystic fibrosis specialty clinics, which can be found in many communities. When children reach adulthood, they should transfer to a cystic fibrosis specialty center for adults.
Treatment for lung problems includes:
Antibiotics to prevent and treat lung and sinus infections. They may be taken by mouth, or given in the veins or by breathing treatments. People with cystic fibrosis may take antibiotics only when needed, or all the time. Doses are usually higher than normal.
Inhaled medicines to help open the airways
DNAse enzyme therapy to thin mucus and make it easier to cough up
High concentration of salt solutions (hypertonic saline)
Flu vaccine and pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) yearly (ask your health care provider)
Lung transplant is an option in some cases
Oxygen therapy may be needed as lung disease gets worse
Lung problems are also treated with aerobic exercise or other therapies to thin the mucous and make it easier to cough up out of the lungs. These include a Percussion Vest, manual chest percussion, A-capella, or TheraPEP device.
Treatment for bowel and nutritional problems (see: Cystic fibrosis - nutritional considerations) may include:
A special diet high in protein and calories for older children and adults (see: Cystic fibrosis nutritional considerations)
Pancreatic enzymes to help absorb fats and protein
Vitamin supplements, especially vitamins A, D, E, and K
Your doctor can suggest other treatments if you have very hard stools
Care and monitoring at home should include:
Avoiding smoke, dust, dirt, fumes, household chemicals, fireplace smoke, and mold or mildew
Clearing or bringing up mucus or secretions from the airways. This must be done one to fours times each day. Patients, families, and caregivers must learn about doing chest percussion and postural drainage to help keep the airways clear
Drinking plenty of fluids. This is particularly true for infants, children, in hot weather, when there is diarrhea or loose stools, or during extra physical activity
Exercising two or three times each week. Swimming, jogging, and cycling are good options.
Support Groups
For additional information and resources, see: Cystic fibrosis support group
Expectations (prognosis)
Most children with cystic fibrosis are fairly healthy until they reach adulthood. They are able to participate in most activities and should be able to attend school. Many young adults with cystic fibrosis finish college or find employment.
Lung disease eventually worsens to the point where the person is disabled. Today, the average life span for people with CF who live to adulthood is approximately 37 years, a dramatic increase over the last three decades.
Death is usually caused by lung complications.
The most common complication is chronic respiratory infection.
Bowel problems, such as gallstones, intestinal obstruction, and rectal prolapse
Coughing up blood
Chronic respiratory failure
Liver disease or liver failure, pancreatitis, biliary cirrhosis
Nasal polyps and sinusitis
Osteoporosis and arthritis
Pneumonia, recurrent
Right-sided heart failure (cor pulmonale)
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if an infant or child has symptoms of cystic fibrosis.
Call your health care provider if a person with cystic fibrosis develops new symptoms or if symptoms get worse, particularly severe breathing difficulty or coughing up blood.
Call your health care provider if you or your child experiences:
Fever, increased coughing, changes in sputum or blood in sputum, loss of appetite, or other signs of pneumonia
Increased weight loss
More frequent bowel movements or stools that are foul-smelling or have more mucus
Swollen belly or increased bloating
There is no way to prevent cystic fibrosis. Screening those with a family history of the disease may detect the cystic fibrosis gene in 60 - 90% of carriers, depending on the test used.

You may have noticed that Looking Glass at 3634 Georgia has been closed for a few weeks. They had a small kitchen fire in late January that was quickly extinguished but caused some damage, and repairs and permits took longer than they expected.
But as of yesterday, they're back open and ready.

Speed and strategy with Pirelli in Malaysia
For the second weekend in succession McLaren drivers Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button qualified first and second, at the Malaysian Grand Prix. Both drivers used Pirelli's P Zero White medium tyre for their fastest times, with Hamilton setting a time of 1m36.219s. Tyre strategy was key to qualifying, with reigning ...>

Hey Everyone, I just want to clear things up a bit... This is Ed from Woodpeckers and this is my tool.
Instead of buying this one trick pony if only using to setup the MFT. .wouldn't it be better to buy a parallel guide rail square? Attach to your rail, butt up against the fence and adjust. Sure it's more expensive but also extremely more useful.
I got the Anderson Ply square. After squaring my MFT with it, I double checked the MFT using my WP 45CM square and got the exact same results. Its simular to the WP Layout Square and cost about a 3rd of the price. It has holes in it for using the festool clamps for clamping down on the MFT never used them as I use this square for setting up my MFT.
... Woodpeckers expects to ship inventory to us in mid-June ...
Quote from: Shane Holland on May 11, 2018, 09:53 AM... Woodpeckers expects to ship inventory to us in mid-June ...If I recall correctly, early May was the delivery timeframe when I placed my order. Hopefully you can get some better info for us.
I received mine about a month ago, it's very nice and robust...definitely worth the wait. Sometimes this OTT thing works out when referencing the time line, sometimes not. I'm still waiting for the 20mm hole boring jig that I ordered directly from Woodpeckers and was supposed to ship in February. I also received in March, some other items that weren't supposed to ship until May. Oh well, it is what it is.
I understand that problems arise in a production environment. What I do not like is the lack of communication. That falls on both The Tool Nut (not Shane) and Woodpeckers.

LAKE FOREST – The Bears had made all eight of their draft picks.
The annual title of Mr. Irrelevant – given to the last player selected in the final round at No. 256 overall – had gone to some safety from Memphis.
And then it happened.
The all-caps scream came from Jordan Lynch's Twitter account.
All of us knew what it meant.
It meant this summer just got a lot more interesting. It meant that training camp practices on August afternoons in Bourbonnais just became must-see sports theater. It meant that Northern Illinois' star quarterback was going to the Bears as an undrafted free agent to compete for a coveted spot on the 53-man roster.
What say you, Bears general manager Phil Emery?
"We're not allowed to comment until they're signed," Emery said with a smile when he was asked about Lynch's happy tweet. "So I'll just say that Jordan had a really good visit here, and he expressed a strong desire to be a Chicago Bear."
And …?
"We both let each other know that if things didn't work out in the draft and he was still there," Emery said, "we would love for him to be here."
OK, got it.
Some final paperwork has to be completed, but Lynch is headed to play for his hometown team. Expect the Bears to announce a full list of undrafted free agents Sunday once all of the agreements have been finalized.
Now, for the fun stuff.
What position is Lynch going to play, anyway?
"I think he's a really fine runner," Emery said when asked about Lynch's attributes. "I think the fact he can throw and throw with accuracy in a short area is good, too. I think you want as many athletes who can do as many things as possible, and he certainly presents options that way.
"But the thing that I was really impressed with – I saw him live against Western Michigan. I think he reset his [rushing] record that night, I think about 320, 326 yards, just his skill as a runner.
"He's got a great set of eyes. He's very instinctive, especially for a quarterback between the tackles. He knows where to find the soft spots and take that little sidestep and keep grinding forward and keep moving forward while he's making his moves. He's got really good contact balance. He doesn't go down easy.
"I like all those things."
Clearly, Emery is a big fan of Lynch. He could have mumbled a boring answer about how Lynch was a productive player, but he went into deep, specific, glowing detail.
It turns out that Emery was about 3 feet from the pin with his recollection of Lynch's monster game Nov. 26 against Western Michigan. Lynch rushed for 321 yards that night, breaking the record of 316 yards that he had set against Central Michigan.
Yes, the Bears have a franchise quarterback named Jay Cutler. Yes, the Bears have a veteran backup in Jordan Palmer and a rookie prospect in David Fales.
But Lynch is dynamic, and Bears coach Marc Trestman is creative.
Could Lynch find a spot on the Bears' roster as a running back-slash-passing threat? It's absolutely worth a shot.
Trestman said he was eager for next week's rookie mini-camp, where all of the team's new players will hit the practice fields and start their professional careers. Rookie mini-camp starts Friday and continues through Sunday.
"I'm excited for them to meet their teammates, as well, because we have a great locker room here, guys that I think are going to be welcomed," Trestman said. "We've got a lot of great mentors in the locker room that are going to help these guys move along very quickly. I know the coaches are excited to get together with them as well."
Everyone is excited.
Or, as Lynch would say: BEARDOWN!!!

One of the world's top cellists had his rare and precious bow damaged after Transportation Security Administration workers at the airport in Chicago brutally and carelessly probed his cello case.
World renowned cellist Alban Gerhardt, a German musician who has performed with the Berlin and London Philharmonic Orchestras respectively, was traveling through Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on his way to a performance in Madison, Wisconsin when he discovered that his bow had been damaged.
"My bow must have moved out of its cover," Gerhardt stated in an interview, adding, "and instead of putting it back in, they just slammed the case shut and broke the bow that way over the bridge."
The rare bow, made by 19th-century German bow maker Heinrich Knopf and possibly damaged beyond repair, was reportedly snapped in half and held an estimated value of $20,000.
TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein, in an email, stated that "it truly is a shame about Mr. Gerhardt's bow" and recommended filing a claim as soon as possible "so that the airport might be able to retrieve any potential videotape of his case being opened."
Gerhardt, who has been lauded as "undoubtedly one of the most brilliant cellists of his generation," called the damage his bow sustained "an act of brutal and careless behavior," and said he will have a luthier in Berlin attempt to fix it, "although the odds of repair appear to be slight," according to WQXR.
"The incident occurred on 6 February, Gerhardt was due to perform Prokofiev's Symphony–Concerto with the Madison Symphony Orchestra in Madison, Wisconsin," reported The Strad magazine. Gerhardt borrowed a colleague's bow for his concerts in Madison.
In a world where terrorists may hide in anything from peanut butter jars to cakes to drinks and even "in your wife's brassiere," to borrow a phrase from Alex Jones, it's good to know that TSA is on high alert searching the inside of cello cases, strip searching 88-year-old women (and inspecting their colostomy bags), and "randomly" selecting wheelchair bound children for special screening all in alleged efforts to keep us safe.
At least I feel a lot safer. Don't you?

2008 Infiniti G35
The Infiniti G35 is a true sports sedan. It features a powerful V6 engine, a sports suspension, and rear-wheel drive, all marks of sporting sedans. Rear-wheel drive offers handling response that front-wheel drive can't usually match.
There's also an all-wheel-drive model, the G35x, that gives up nothing in handling but adds capability in rainy climes and where winters bring snow.
The G35 was completely redesigned and re-engineered for 2007: New styling gave it a tauter, more buff look but without forfeiting its signature styling cues. The V6 engine was made more powerful and efficient without increasing its size. Inside is a richer, warmer look and feel, with performance-oriented enhancements that add to the driving experience.
The substantially reworked engine invites a heavy right foot, delivering its added power smoothly and strongly right up to the borderline motorcycle-level, 7500-rpm red line. A five-speed automatic transmission with manual mode remains standard across the line. However, the Sport Package kicks it up a notch, offering a choice between a six-speed manual gearbox or an automatic with Formula 1-style magnesium paddle shifters on the steering column.
For 2008, the G35 offers more choices. Most significantly, a Sport Package is now available on all-wheel-drive as well as rear-wheel-drive models. A new 18-inch wheel-and-tire package is available. Option packages have been revised, and an iPod interface is now part of the Premium Package.
Leather upholstery comes standard on all G35s along with a full complement of luxury features. The base sound system is competitive with that in any luxury sedan, while committed audiophiles will find the top-level, Studio On Wheels system from Bose delivers a richer, fuller, more intricate and crisper sound than many mega-buck home stereos. Various other options and packages add dual-zone air automatic conditioning, navigation, and self-adjusting cruise control. The Sport Package provides upgraded wheels, tires, and brakes as well as seriously supportive front seats and unique appearance items. For the ultimate in handling, tick the Sport Package plus active four-wheel steering with a firmer suspension.
The G35 sedan is based on the Nissan 350Z and the Infiniti G37 coupe, which are covered in separate NewCarTestDrive.com reviews.
Model Lineup
The 2008 Infiniti G35 is offered in two models: G35 and the all-wheel-drive G35x. Both are powered by the same 3.5-liter V6 engine making 306 horsepower. A five-speed automatic is the standard transmission; a six-speed manual is available as part of a Sport Package. Option packages make it possible to tailor the G35's personality to your personal preferences.
The G35 ($31,600) comes standard with leather-appointed upholstery, an eight-way power driver's seat, and a four-way power front passenger seat; automatic climate control; power windows, outside mirrors and central locking; AM/FM/CD/MP3/XM stereo with 3-pin auxiliary audio input; multi-function trip computer; seven-inch color center-dash LCD monitor; tilt and telescoping steering wheel; analog gauge cluster that tilts with the steering column; aluminum interior trim; RFID-based, keyless ignition; HID bi-xenon headlamps; fog lamps; fold-down rear center armrest with lockable trunk pass-through; and aluminum-alloy wheels with P225/55VR17 all-season tires. The Journey Package ($450) adds dual-zone automatic climate control with rear air conditioning vents, eight-way power for the front passenger seat, an in-dash six-CD changer, and automatic on/off headlights.
The G35x ($34,100) adds the content of the Journey Package, heated front seats, and all-wheel drive. Options are similar to those for the base model.
The Premium Package ($2,500) adds a power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof, heated front seats with additional power adjustments, an upgraded memory system for seat and mirror preferences, power tilt-and-telescope steering wheel, a 10-speaker Bose Studio on Wheels system with Burr Brown Digital Audio Converters and iPod interface, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, and other convenience items.
The Sport Package ($1,650) includes bigger brakes, 18-inch aluminum wheels with W-rated summer performance tires, a limited-slip rear differential, magnesium paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel, front sport seats, and unique front fascia and side sills. The Sport Package MT ($1,700) includes the same equipment, but replaces the five-speed automatic transmission with a six-speed manual, and replaces the automatic's pedal-operated handbrake with a pull-up lever. Buying the Sport Package MT is the only way to get a manual transmission in a G35. New for 2008 is a Sport Package AT ($1,100) for the G35x, which comprises similar equipment but skips the larger brakes and mounts 18-inch all-season tires.
The GPS Navigation Package ($2,150) includes such advanced features as a 9.3GB Music Box hard disc drive (instead of the in-dash, 6CD changer) MP3-capable compact flash media slot; lane guidance, which preps a driver for a left or right exit ramp from a freeway; and voice recognition for climate control, audio and navigation functions. This package is available only with the Journey and Premium Packages. The Technology Package ($1,100) adds Intelligent Cruise Control, adaptive front lighting, and Preview Braking. It requires the Navigation Package.
Other options include a tilt-and-slide glass sunroof ($1,000); an 18-inch Performance Tire and Wheel Package ($400); an African Rosewood interior trim package ($450); and active four-wheel steering ($1,500), which includes unique suspension tuning, but is not available with AWD. Very few options on the G35 are truly stand-alone; almost all require the Journey Package, and some options exclude others.
Safety features that come standard on all models include dual-stage frontal airbags with occupant detection and seatbelt pretensioners and load limiters; front seat-mounted, side-impact airbags (for torso protection); roof-mounted, front and rear side-impact air curtains (for head protection); active front-seat head restraints; rear seat child safety seat anchors (LATCH); antilock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist; electronic stability control; and tire pressure monitoring.
When the Infiniti G35 was redesigned for 2007, it was an evolutionary styling change from the first-generation model (2003-06).
The grille has crossbars that flatten at their extremes, an expression the car's stylists liken to sword blades. Compound, multi-element, L-shaped headlight housings wrap around the fenders. A one-piece fascia with three large air intakes across its lower reaches embraces the front end. The tops of the front fenders flow over into the hood, emphasizing the G35's width and enhancing its planted look.
The side view presents a relatively long hood, steeply raked windshield, fast backlight and brief rear deck, giving the G35 more the look of a sporty coupe than the four-door sedan it is. Recessed door handles sit almost flush with the sheetmetal. Tires snugly fill slightly flared, circular wheelwells. A rocker panel accented by a deep indent along the bottom of the doors pulls the sides of the G35 closer to the road.
Large, LED taillights repeat the L-shape of the headlights, crossing over from the fenders into the trunk lid. The trunk lid dips several inches into the rear fascia, compensating somewhat for the restricted opening imposed by the short rear deck. Proper dual exhaust tips exit beneath each side of the fully integrated rear bumper.
Interior Features
The interior is lively and friendly without being fussy or overly busy. There's luxury aplenty, but tempered by a focus on function, on connecting the driver to the car while at the same time providing passengers a pleasant and comfortable environment and entertaining diversions.
Audio and climate controls are conveniently located out in the open, on the face of the center stack, audio above and climate below, as they should be. A large, multi-function, knob-like control in the panel beneath the screen at the top center of the dash controls some functions, but its duties and operational planes are limited and minimally distracting.
The navigation system is controlled by this knob. Voice commands can be used for many operations. The navigation system offers a Birds Eye, which gives a perception of distance, incorporating a horizon and, depending on the available mapping data, three-dimensional building footprints for the local surroundings. It's neat to look at, though the regular overhead view the system uses works better for us. The XM Satellite Radio system provides real-time traffic updates, where available.
The cabin is trimmed with aluminum alloy, finished in what the designers call Washi, a texture intended to recall traditional Japanese rice paper. The optional African Rosewood trim looks as authentic as it is. Violet hues dress up white-on-black gauges.
The seats are comfortable, with thigh support a bit above average; even so, we wish the manual thigh-support extensions on the Sport Package seats were standard or at least available across the line. The adjustable torso and thigh bolsters on the Sport seats do what they're supposed to but favor slender bodies. The gas pedal and the rest for the driver's left foot are on different planes, leaving the knees at different angles, which is not the most comfortable position for long drives or for spirited motoring on winding roads.
The Bose Studio On Wheels delivers a sound that's richer, fuller, more intricate and crisper than any system we can recall in cars costing thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars more than the G35. Although we're not prepared to go as far as Infiniti and compare it with a custom-configured, high-tech, in-home system, we stepped directly from a G35 sedan into a $100,000-plus European sports coupe with that marque's top-level sound system and could not distinguish a significant difference between the two. The G35's system's digital processing and eight-channel equalizer no doubt play a huge part, but our ears told us that almost as important is the Bose-designed speaker array. Infiniti claims, for instance, that the G35 is the first in the industry with a three-way, 10-inch subwoofer in each front door; the remaining eight speakers are traditionally located, with another 10-inch woofer in the rear parcel shelf, a 6.5-inch, full-range speaker in each rear door, three mid-range speakers across the front of the cabin, and a one-inch tweeter in each A-pillar.
Interior roominess is competitive for the class. Wide rear door openings leave room aplenty for legs, knees and feet when getting in and out.
Trunk space is competitive for the class.
Cubby storage includes a respectable glove box. The front center console provides as many as three cup holders, one inside the covered storage bin, and a can holder is molded into the hard-plastic map pocket in each door. Two cup holders pop out of the front of the fold-down, rear seat center armrest; a unique compartment masked by a Velcro-type flap on the right side is the surprise. The back side of each front seatback has a magazine pouch.
Driving Impressions
The Infiniti G35 delivers responsive performance. Stand on the gas and it pulls right up to its maximum rpm. It willingly and heartily revs to levels normally associated with smaller, less complex engines.
Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated City/Highway 17/24 mpg for the G35 automatic, 17/25 mpg with the manual, and 17/23 mpg for the G35x. The 2008 Lexus IS 350 betters the G35 by 1 mpg.
The manual and automatic transmissions ably handle the engine's power and power curve. The automatic does its job rather casually at part throttle. Holding the right foot unwaveringly hard to the floor produced sharper, more solid shifts at the engine's redline. The automatic changes gears the quickest and, interestingly, the smoothest with either the shift lever or the column-mounted paddles and under full throttle; it's like a power shift but without the clutch. Credit this to the engine's electronics, which feather the throttle through the instantaneous shift. The same electronics deliver smooth downshifts, too, whether in full auto mode or manual override, by blipping the throttle to match engine rpm to transmission speed in the lower gear; think double clutching a pure manual gearbox. The all-wheel-drive G35x has a snow mode that also electronically tempers throttle response.
The six-speed manual shift pattern was tight and gear selection was precise, requiring little effort. Clutch operation is heavier than we would expect even on a sports sedan. This makes for sometimes rocky clutch engagement, especially at low speeds and light throttle.
Ride and handling are consistent across the line.
The notable and commendable exception of this is the Sport models with four-wheel steer. Besides actively adjusting the rear wheel toe by up to a degree depending on vehicle speed and steering angle, the four-wheel steering brings with it a sportier shock and spring setup and road speed-sensitive, variable ratio power steering. For hustling down winding roads, this suspension and 4WS is the preferred combination, and it's not all that far out of its element cruising the Interstate. It's solid and taut and manages the G35's mass very well without exacting a price in stiffness. It's firm, yes, and will transmit pavement heaves more dramatically into the passenger compartment. But over anything less than chunking blacktop or weathered concrete, it gives up very little against the standard suspension, which leans a bit more toward supple. Not that the base suspension is floaty by any means, far from it, actually. But as demonstrated over several fairly hot laps on a racetrack, it's not as planted and controlled as the 4WS Sport.
On freeways, the G35 cruises comfortably and quietly. Gone is the irritating drone that often plagued rear seat passengers in earlier G35 sedans. There's little wind noise even at extra-legal speeds. There's more road noise from the optional tire packages than from the standard treads, but the added grip and, frankly, sharper looking 18-inch wheels are worth it.
The Infiniti G35 is Nissan's entry in the highly competitive sports sedan class. And it's definitely competitive, with its slick styling, comfortable interior, and power and handling on par with any of its peers. For people wanting a sports sedan that's as accommodating of its passengers as it is rewarding for its driver, the new G35 is hard to beat.

Want to venture out and make some lip balm. Would like feedback on how you fill your lip balm tubes, your best selling recipes, and also tips, hints and tricks anyone has learned from experience. Thanks much.
View Full Version : adventures in lip balm...plz share advice and recipes
Want to venture out and make some lip balm. Would like feedback on how you fill your lip balm tubes, your best selling recipes, and also tips, hints and tricks anyone has learned from experience. Thanks much.
Try Googling recipes...there's a bazillion ways of making lip balm.
There's a couple of cautions on making lip balms. Here's just a couple of quick thoughts off the top of my head.
First off, obviously people are using the product on/in their mouths. You want to ALWAYS use sterilized equipment and use good handling practices. Think before you start making your product(s) do you have enough time to do it all in one session? Are the kids or the pets around? Clean, Clean, Clean!
When I first started making bath and body products, I thought adding honey to lip balms would be great. Yes, you can add it. But be careful because there are a lot of seperation issues. Use only a tiny amount.
Make your product and test it out on friends and family first for awhile before you sell it. Make sure your product is good to sell. No, not good....GREAT product. Don't sell a bad or mediocre product. If it is...you'll make a one time sale and they'll never be back.
You must label your balms with the ingredients. Again...people will injest your product. If they are allergy prone they'll know whether your product is safe for them or not.
I just fill my tubes using a new disposable syringe. I get a new one each time. You gotta move quick because the balm will cool and harden in the syringe.
Lastly, after you've filled your tubes you will notice that the balm will be indented around the screw...This is a normal part of the cooling process. When filling the tube the first time, leave a little space...after it cools a little, but not too much, just add a little balm to top it off.
HOWEVER! When you use shea butter...slow cooling is the nemesis of shea butter. Slow cooling will get you gritty lip balm. Gross! Trust me on this! Once you've topped off the tubes, pop the tubes in the freezer until hard.
Here's a recipe that I came across on the internet. I haven't tried it. I don't know how it'll work. Sounds like good ingredients. You could even half the recipe and trial it for awhile before making several tubes.

Cocoa Mint Lip Balm Recipe
1.5 oz. cocoa butter (non-deodorize)
1 oz. beeswax
1.5 oz. shea butter
.01 oz. pure Vitamin E
3-5 drops peppermint essential oil (optional)
You may wish to less or no peppermint if you don't like the "tingle" that peppermint leaves behind on your lips; the sensation disappears within a few minutes of application) In a heat proof measuring cup with a lip for pouring, melt together the cocoa butter, shea butter and beeswax over a double boiler. Once the butters and wax have completely liquefied, remove from heat. Stir with a pop sickle stick to ensure the mix. Add Vitamin E and stir to incorporate. Add the essential oil and stir to combine. While mixture remains hot, pour into lip balm containers. You may spill a bit outside the containers as you get used to steadying your hand to pour. If this happens, wait for the mixture to harden and wipe the containers with a clean cloth. Seal, label and enjoy!!

stacey, thanks for all the good tips, i appreciate it. i did google lip balm but wanted experience from beeks here. us beeks know best what works and doesnt and what sells and doesnt. also, making lip balm would be similar to a clean environment of extracting and bottling honey, no different on my planet. my honey and comb honey are excellent products, and i have many customers, and want my lip balm to be as well, so why i asked here.
thanks for the internet recipe, i am looking for recipes that beekeepers have tried using their own wax and would recommend, do you have one that works well and sells well for you? if you have one that you like and sells well, i would appreciate it, and any tips for making it.
where do you get your disposable syringes?
when i buy lip balm, i like burts bees stuff with the peppermint jolt in it, so am looking for some recipes using peppermint oil too.
Riverbee1, did you find a great lip balm recipe? Looking at making some now that I have some beewax. Would love to get a beeks response on this topic also that is a great recipe.
yes i did, it's a recipe similar to the peppermint flavor a famous maker does, you kind of have to experiment a little. i have acquired a number of recipes and some i have tried and some not.
