KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Scott Podsednik snapped a long power drought with a big home run. Anthony Lerew overcame early nerves for a solid return to the majors. Houston couldn't get anything going after getting off to a great start.
So many story lines, all of them overshadowed by a bizarre reversed call by the umpires that had the feel of a playground do-over but little effect on the outcome.
Podsednik hit a three-run homer, Lerew pitched six effective innings and the Kansas City Royals beat the Astros 5-2 Thursday in a game that featured a play no one on either side could remember seeing before.
"I don't think anyone's seen a play like that," Royals manager Ned Yost said.
It happened in the fifth inning.
With Mike Aviles on second and one out, Yuniesky Betancourt hit a soft liner that shortstop Geoff Blum appeared to trap. Second base umpire Mike Everitt missed the call, ruling the ball had been caught in the air, and Blum stepped on second to double off Aviles for what appeared to be the final out.
Not so fast.
Yost came trotting out of the dugout to argue, but the umpires were already gathering before he got there. After deliberating for several minutes, they overturned the call and brought both teams back out to the field. Aviles was placed on third and Betancourt was ruled out even though Blum never threw to first, the umpires ruling that it was assumed Betancourt would have been thrown out.
"Geoff was charging the ball and we didn't have a good angle to see it," crew chief Tim McClelland said. "The only fair thing for us to do was rule it no catch, retire Betancourt and give Aviles third base. You can't assume an out at third base."
Blum was awarded an assist and first baseman Lance Berkman got a putout despite never touching the ball because he was closest to Betancourt when the play was made, similar to the rule regarding interference.
After a second round of arguing by Astros manager Brad Mills, the drama ended quickly: Brett Myers got Podsednik to line out on the next pitch, ending the inning.
The debate, though, will continue.
"To reverse a call like that opens up a huge can of worms," Mills said.
The Royals did all their damage after the chaos.
Kansas City scored four runs in the seventh inning off Myers (4-5), three on Podsednik's first homer in 144 at-bats and another on Betancourt's run-scoring single.
Victor Marte (2-0) worked a scoreless seventh and the Royals went up 5-2 in the eighth on Aviles' fielder's choice, giving closer Joakim Soria extra breathing room. Soria allowed two hits in the ninth before closing out his 16th save in 18 chances.
Some nice stuff, though none of it as interesting as the missed-call, phantom-out play that came before.
"We just wanted them to get the play right," Yost said. "They admitted they made a mistake and that was probably in all reality the outcome we would have had if they had got the play right."
Lerew got the start after Luke Hochevar was placed on the disabled list with a strained elbow. The young right-hander was decent in a short stint in the majors last season, going 0-1 with a 3.38 ERA in two starts, and had a 2.84 ERA at Triple-A Omaha before being called up.
His return to the majors got off to a rocky start.
Lerew issued a four-pitch walk to Michael Bourn to start the game and gave up a line-drive, two-run double to Hunter Pence that froze Podsednik in the first.
The early-game jitters out of the way, Lerew then fell into a rhythm, keeping the Astros unsettled with his cha-cha-quick footwork and syrupy off-speed pitches.
Lerew struck out five over the next three innings and didn't allow another hit until Kevin Cash's soft, one-out single in the fifth. He matched a career high with seven strikeouts and allowed two runs on three hits.
"A little nervous at first, but once I settled in and kept the ball down it went well," Lerew said.
Myers had the Royals off balance most of the night with his deceptive changeup and even got through a return to the field after a long wait on the play in the fifth. He just couldn't finish it off in the seventh, giving up three straight singles and Podsednik's three-run homer off the back of Kansas City's bullpen to lose in his first start at Kauffman Stadium.
"I felt good today," said Myers, who allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. "A couple of dink hits there in the seventh and ultimately the homer. It's frustrating."
Warren Buffet threw out the ceremonial first pitch. He bounced it in front of the plate. ... Astros 3B coach Dave Clark was back on the field after being hit on the leg by a batted ball Wednesday night. ... Kansas City's Jose Guillen extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a single in the eighth.

The Genome of the Cucumber, Cucumis Sativus L. Nature Genetics. 41(12):1275-1281. Interpretive Summary: Cucurbit vegetable species include squash, watermelon, melon, and cucumber. Agricultural production of cucurbits uses 9 million hectares of land and yields 184 million tons of vegetables, fruits and seeds annually. Cucumber is the third most widely grown vegetable crop worldwide. It has also been used as a model crop for many genetic studies. Despite the agricultural and biological importance of cucurbits, knowledge of their genetics (the inheritance of horticulturally important traits) and genome (the location and DNA composition of genes which control traits) is currently very limited. The genome of cucumber is made up of a linear order of DNA that is called a sequence. A study was designed to determine the order of the DNA sequence in cucumber to learn more about its genome or the nature of horticulturally important traits. The sequenced cucumber genome affords insight into traits such as its sex expression, disease resistance, bitterness in fruits, and 'fresh green' odor. The cucumber genome was sequenced. The cucumber genome provides a valuable resource for developing improved cultivars and for studying its evolution. The information obtained from this study adds dramatically to our knowledge of cucumber genetics and will allow plant breeders to be more effective in developing strategies for cucumber improvement. This increase in effectiveness will result in the development of improved cultivars that will increase the global competitiveness of the U.S. grower.
Technical Abstract: Cucumber is an economically important crop as well as a model system for sex determination studies and plant vascular biology. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Cucumis sativus var. sativus L., assembled using a novel combination of traditional Sanger and next-generation Illumina GA sequencing technologies to obtain 72.2-fold genome coverage. The absence of recent whole-genome duplication, along with the presence of few tandem duplications, explains the small number of genes in the cucumber. Our study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo. The sequenced cucumber genome affords insight into traits such as its sex expression, disease resistance, biosynthesis of cucurbitacin and 'fresh green' odor. We also identify 686 gene clusters related to phloem function. The cucumber genome provides a valuable resource for developing elite cultivars and for studying the evolution and function of the plant vascular system.

There's a big difference between christianity and all other religions. Problem is alot was lost in translation and transliteration from hebrew to greek to latin, german and then english. Example: In the english version gen.1:2 says the earth was void and without form.But the original hebrew version says the earth was made void.This implies it was destroyed and emptied out.This is only one of the verses to reference a first earth age.This came about due to the catabol(rebellion of the angels).There is much more than meets the eye.Not very many preachers are schooled enough in the greek language to teach.The greek language is a truer one in its usage than english.Some things in the english version was intentionally left out and replaced with<quoted text>
I don't believe in any of it. It's all just a collection of fables in my opinion. Ancient people struggling to explain what to them was unexplainable. I don't see any difference in Christianity, Greek mythology, Norse mythology or any other god worshipping. Mostly people use religion to act how they want to anyway. For example mr last action hero poet here uses it to be an ignorant bigot.
with other words.example would be the word easter which can only be found once.They intentionally left out the word passover because they didnt want to be associated with jews who they considered Christ killers.But easter derived from pagan rituals from the romans.True christians should observe passover instead of easter because Christ who was the sacrificial lamb took the place of the original lambs blood that was painted over the doors during the plagues of egypt during Moses time that the jews still observe today.But since they dont accept Christ as the Messiah they observe it for the wrong reasons.

Building Robust Personas in 30 Days or Less
November 2007
90 minutes
- Topics:
When design teams take advantage of personas, they see faster development times and better quality products. The entire team is on the same page, resulting in designs that satisfy the actual needs of real users.
However, if you've never developed personas before, the task ahead can look daunting and overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. Based on UIE's research into state-of-the-art development practices of today's most successful teams, you can learn the secrets to building robust personas in 30 days or less.
In this presentation, usability and design expert, Jared M. Spool, will walk through an easy-to-accomplish 30 day plan for developing your own persona-based scenarios. He'll tackle each of the four development stages: gathering the field research, analyzing the data, building the personas and their scenarios, and integrating the results into the development process. You'll learn how to be up and running with your own personas with only a small team and some easy-to-acquire resources.
Gathering the Field Research: Quality results from field research doesn't have to be complicated or time consuming. With the right preparation and an attentive team, you can quickly and easily collect valuable data in less than a week. Jared will show you how to decide how many folks to visit, who they should be, and how to prepare for meeting them. He'll talk about the best ways to collect information and how to best involve other team members.
Analyzing the Data: With a few simple techniques, we can quickly organize the seemingly chaotic field data into the coherent patterns we need to create our personas and their scenarios. Jared will demonstrate several techniques from the analysis toolkit, including pair-wise comparisons, KJ Analyses, and weighted charts. He'll show you quick and easy methods for sorting, organizing, and identifying the trends and insights you discovered in your study.
Building the Personas and Their Scenarios: By taking good notes and following a few simple steps, writing up the personas can be both fast and fun. Jared will show you how robust personas utilize the elements uncovered in the research and analysis, making their creation easily flow from your pen (or keyboard). Jared will walk through several effective techniques for readying your insights about your users and their needs.
Integrating Personas into the Development Process: The best teams have a ready-made plan as to how they'll infuse their newly created personas and scenarios directly into the existing development process. When integrated well, the personas and scenarios become an important tool for almost every part of the development process, helping ensure the product managers, developers, designers, writers, and quality folks are all measuring the design against the right standards. Jared will share techniques you can use immediately to introduce the personas, walk through the scenarios, and ensure they become fixture of your development process.
As with all of the UIE Virtual Seminars, you'll get a complete handout with plenty of examples and an opportunity to ask Jared those burning questions about how to do this well in your environment. And after this seminar, you'll have the tools in hand to build your own robust personas, in 30 days or less.
This seminar is for any designer, developer, usability professional, or project manager who wants to learn how to improve their design team's productivity with simple and proven techniques.
Why Jared?
Jared Spool took UX to a new level in 1988 when he launched UIE. And by, "to a new level," we mean "validated UX as a vital component of our work, then spent the next 25 years conducting research and writing tirelessly to keep validating it."
Fortunately, for users everywhere, his continued efforts are still paying off.
Jared often can be found onstage, where he captivates crowds with stunning data that reveal how UX can affect a company's bottom line. He's helped thousands of companies worldwide to increase their profits, identify interaction failures, and integrate UX research and design into their product development cycles.
Reaching designers is a priority, too—aside from these virtual seminars, Jared and the UIE team organize annual conferences chock full of hands-on, practical workshops led by the best industry minds around.
One last thing: Jared is a masterful storyteller with a seemingly endless supply of energy and practical advice, too. He rarely takes the spotlight for our virtual seminars, so this will sell out fast—snag your spot now.

"smart business suit" for sixth form - bit tacky or a good idea? Mixed 6th(201 Posts)
I'm in the "bit tacky" camp myself. Don't want daughter going to school everyday dressed like a candidate from the Apprentice. There are plenty of years to get used to dressing for the world of work, so why start at 16, especially as these children will be back in jeans etc for university. A sixth form uniform would be my strong preference. And i can foresee all sorts of disagreements in Next, Top Shop etc over what is "smart". I already find myself fighting to keep quiet about unsuitable (frankly "large handbag-style") bags being taken to school - aargh, and school shoes from unsuitable places like top shop that last one term before falling apart.
Isn't part of growing up learning how to dress appropriately for the job?
I think this is precisely the point.
How can it be precisely the point when business attire is not appropriate clothing for many (if not the majority of) jobs?
I think it is right the way most places have it: own clothes, nothing manifestly inappropriate or too much flesh. After all, the next stage for many will be university, where they can wear what they like!
Mintyy, I agree with you.
I was replying to LaVolcan's point - the point being that appropriate doesnt automatically mean business wear. Dressing appropriately means exactly that. My DD is doing two 'messy' sciences at A level (biology & chemistry). She hopes to work in chemistry as a career - somehow I doubt that a business suit will be the right lab wear day to day.
Oh, I see, get you. Well of course we are both totally in the right .
my ds cannot wait to get into 6th form so that he can get a suit with a really lairy lining! ATM he is swaying between shocking pink and mandarin orange.
DS's typical sixth form day:
Product design -- involving glue, lathes, polyfilla and god knows what else.
Geography -- currently involving bashing rocks to bits AFAIK
Chemistry -- ditto
Environmental science -- including pond digging
Drumming lesson
Appropriate wear would probably be army camouflage.
My dh had to do this for his sixth form - over 20 years ago now, so they must have been pioneers. Having seen some of the photos, they all looked bloody ridiculous.
He worked in the building industry during/after uni.
Thankfully we're not in catchment for that particular school
with delusions of grandeur as the housing is mega expensive, but the local secondary is just as good, if not better and a lot more 'normal'.
Was with MIL the other day (she likes this school's town) and commented on how strange it was that all the girls were wearing buttock skimming minis
whatever their shape and size then realised it was their take on business attire
All I know is DD1 is very fed up with time wasted on uniform checks at the beginning of each lesson.
She is strongly favouring going to the local collage and being treated like a grown up.
I also have a DD who is fed up with uniform checks for sixth formers. She would dearly love to be treated like a grown up by the school.
Fence sitting here.
DS has school uniform- blazer, school trousers, white shirt, tie. Done. No messing, low cost etc , it's also pretty bomb proof.
DDs school have " business dress" . One suit isn't OK of course if you are a girl you have to have multiple choices - all of which are individually more expensive than DS uniform (even M+S basics washable suits!). THen the shirts- again 3 shirts aren't enough you need " choice" . THen several pairs of appropriate low heeled court shoes (no the aren't appropriate to walk to the bus etc really ) . The cost and potential for teasing about clothing that school uniform has blocked out for 5yrs are back straight away.
Grr! I can see why not " home clothes" because of the number of restrictions they place on what comes on non uniform days ( no strappy tops, no bare midrifs, no shorts (even over opaque tights) no stocking tights etc erc . I'm sure that some kids see it as an appropriate place to wear clubbing clothes, but I'd rather that they had uniform tbh
If DS ever gets a job which requires him to wear a high street suit I will consider myself to be a failure as a parent.
All our sixth forms have no dress code and the students just look like university students.
The lack of idiotic uniform codes doesn't seem to prevent dozens of them getting into Oxbridge every year.
"If DS ever gets a job which requires him to wear a high street suit I will consider myself to be a failure as a parent".
Really? wow!
Well I hope for you sake you DS gets a job where he has to wear a non-high st suit. For the majority of kids though this is the reality, and most are thankful they have a job. There's prob actually even more who don't need any type of suit as they're signing on or stacking shelves.
I certainly wouldn't consider myself a failure as a parent over something like this.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Edwinamerckx - I wear a suit for work as I work in an office. Not my dream job but it's a damned sight better than some of the other options around here. TBH I feel lucky to have a job, there is a lot of unemployment around here, DH not worked in years & struggling to find anything.
I hope your kids don't feel too much of a disappointment to you if they aren't able land a dream job, way to put the pressure on!
Viva - any job that requires a chap to wear a suit, but doesn't pay him enough to wear bespoke, is not a job worth having
It makes as much sense to say the school wants to have an intellectual ethos and therefore all the students have to dress like university lecturers.
edwina Very funny
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
arf @ edwina. Does that rule also apply to the chapesses?

Opening Hour
11.30 - 14.00
Opening Days
Monday - Sunday
The menu provides a good range of traditional Thai cuisine together with some inspired personal creations with fragrant curries and aroma-rich nods to other Asian cuisines. As Ban Chiang is quite popular among westerners most offerings are mild, so do not be shy about specifying your spice level. Minced chicken wrapped in Chinese kale is a delicious start: the chicken is tasty, the kale fresh, but the presentation is ordinary. Salted prawns with garlic and white pepper is a signature dish, and is tasty and quite original in its preparation. Sauteed crab claws in Madras curry and green onions disappoints, with little curry evident but sundried white fish served with mango dip is delicious, surprisingly light and aromatic. Sauteed salted fish with Chinese kale is quite good, the kale sharp and fresh, and the spicing interesting. Banana fritters with coconut ice cream is a great finish, the batter light, the bananas sweet and tasty, and the ice cream scrumptious and fresh.

Prince Harry, Girlfriend Cressida Bonas Not Engaged Yet Because Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge Doesn't Want Them Married? Kate Middleton Hates Cressy Because Her Sister Isabella Dated Prince William?
New sources say that the reason that Prince Harry and his girlfriend Cressida Bonas may not be engaged yet is because of Harry's sister-in-law Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. The former Kate Middleton reportedly hates Cressida because Cressida's older half-sister, Isabella Calthorpe, once dated Prince William.
The Daily Telegraph writes that Cressida's friends have said that Kate Middleton would not be happy if Cressida, 24, married Harry, 28.
"Cressida has said Kate is not keen on her relationship with Harry," a friend said. "Cressie and Isabella could not be closer. Where she goes, Bella goes.
"Kate does not like Isabella because William loved her, and that caused their break-up. Bella's treatment at the royal wedding won't be forgotten."
Calthorpe, who married Sam Branson this year, was invited to the Royal Wedding in 2011 but was not allowed to enter either of the two receptions after the ceremony. Instead, reports say that she was given a ride home by film director Guy Ritchie. Prince William, 31, was linked to Calthorpe in 2007 during a temporary spilt from Kate, also 31.
In 2007, the Daily Mail wrote, "But there is one woman whose attentions [Kate] simply cannot bear. Isabella Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, a stunning socialite and budding actress who struck up a close friendship with the Prince three years ago, has been a constant presence during William and Kate's relationship."
"William said he needed a break and that summer he went on a boys-only holiday to the Greek Islands," a source said at the time.
"Isabella was very much on the scene that summer. I would go so far as to say that William dumped Kate because he thought he had a chance with Isabella and Kate knew that.
"Kate's a tough cookie, though, and stood aside and waited for William to come back to her which eventually he did. Before that, though, he did everything he could to woo Isabella.
"He had fallen for her in a huge way and wanted to be with her. He propositioned her several times that summer and although Isabella was single, she knocked William back and said it would be too damaging for her and her career.
"She is a name in her own right and on her way to becoming hugely successful. In her view, being affiliated with William in a girlfriend capacity would be damaging for her.
"William was madly in love with her but when he knew there was no chance of them getting together he went back to Kate.
"Kate was very aware of his obsession with Isabella and she was incredibly threatened by her. Isabella is drop-dead beautiful and would leave any girl in the shade.
"Kate accepted William back again but on the condition that he would not speak to Isabella again."

goldenRATIO - The tool for every designer and developer.
By Michael Göbel
Open the Mac App Store to buy and download apps.
goldenRATIO is a nifty little App providing an easy way to design websites, interfaces, layouts etc. according to the golden ratio - also know as the divine proportion.
This 'golden' ratio has been used by mankind for centuries. Its use may have started as early as with the Egyptians in the design of the pyramids - or at least they were the first passing on a measurable proof.
It also appears in the physical proportions of the human body, movements in the stock market and many other aspects of life, love and the universe…
goldenRATIO features a built-in calculator with visual feedback, favorites to store screen position and settings (so you don't have to rearrange goldenRATIO for every repeating task) and a 'Click-thru' mode which means you can use it as an overlay (for example in Photoshop) and still can work on the canvas…

Wash. Post's Cillizza falsely claimed Obama "is battling allegations of ethical misjudgment"
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
In a March 7 entry to his washingtonpost.com weblog, The Fix, Washington Post staff writer Chris Cillizza wrote: "For the second time since signaling his plans to run for president, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is battling allegations of ethical misjudgment." Cillizza was referring to a March 7 New York Times article highlighting the 2005 purchase, on Obama's behalf by his broker (and, Obama said, without his knowledge), of "more than $50,000 worth of stock in two speculative companies whose major investors included some of his biggest political donors," and a November 1, 2006, Chicago Tribune article highlighting a 2005 land deal between Obama and Chicago fundraiser Antoin Rezko, a supporter of Obama's 2004 Senate campaign. However, contrary to Cillizza's claim, the Times article did not contain an "allegation[] of ethical misjudgment" and the Post itself reported, in an article to which Cillizza linked, that there "have been no allegations that Obama ... committed any ethics violations" in the land deal.
Cillizza wrote:
For the second time since signaling his plans to run for president, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is battling allegations of ethical misjudgment.
The latest incident comes courtesy of today's New York Times, which reports that shortly after arriving in the Senate Obama bought stock in two companies whose investors included several major donors to his campaign. One of the companies -- AVI Biopharma -- was developing an avian flu treatment even as Obama began work to secure increased federal funding for the disease.
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said that Obama had entered into a "trust agreement" in February 2005 whereby his stock broker neither solicited his advice on investments nor consulted him when trades were made. As a result, according to Burton, Obama was unaware that the stocks had been purchased and when he found out that he owned them in the fall of 2005 he immediately divested himself of the stocks at a financial loss.
"Obama owned stock in two companies which he did nothing to help -- an investment that lost him $13,000," Burton said in a statement released Wednesday. "At the end of a thorough examination of Senator Obama's portfolio, It's apparent that his dealings were completely above board and his decisions were proactively made in the interest of avoiding the potential for conflict."
The controversy comes on the heels of Obama's acknowledgment late last year that he made a "boneheaded" mistake in purchasing a property in Chicago on the same day that the Democratic fundraiser Tony Rezko bought an adjacent parcel of land. Less than a year later with Rezko under federal investigation Obama paid $100,000 to the fundraiser and his wife for a piece of the property.
The Times, however, reported that "[t]here is no evidence that any of [Obama's] actions ended up benefiting either company during the roughly eight months that he owned the stocks." The Times also noted: "Senate ethics rules do not prohibit lawmakers from owning stocks -- even in companies that do business with the federal government or could benefit from legislation they advance -- and indeed other members of Congress have investments in government contractors. The rules say only that lawmakers should not take legislative actions whose primary purpose is to benefit themselves." The article never accused Obama of "ethical misjudgment."
As Media Matters for America documented, Slate.com teased a December 14, 2006, article on the Obama/Rezko land transaction as "Inside Obama's Shady Real Estate Deal," but the article itself noted that there was no evidence Obama did anything wrong:
There's no evidence that the senator is fibbing or that the indicted fund-raiser asked anything in return for his neighborly behavior (though that might have been just a matter of time). Obama hasn't tried to change his story, even though Rezko is now talking to investigators.
Indeed, the December 17, 2006, Washington Post article about the Rezko land deal that Cillizza linked to in his March 7 entry explicitly stated: "There have been no allegations that Obama, whose political fortunes are soaring as he mulls a run for president, broke the law or committed any ethics violations."
As Media Matters documented, on March 7, MSNBC hyped the Times story as a possible "scandal," without noting that the Times reported that "[t]here is no evidence that any of [Obama's] actions ended up benefiting either company during the roughly eight months that he owned the stocks." The March 7 edition of ABC News' political newsletter, The Note, drew a comparison to the Clinton-era Whitewater scandal, without noting that the Whitewater investigations turned up no evidence of wrongdoing by either of the Clintons.

A controversial prison in Tasmania has been likened to conditions in the Guantanamo Bay prison that houses terrorist prisoners. Tasmania Ombudsman Simon Allston discovered prisoners have been held in solitary confinement for months without being told anything about what they must do in order to be placed in a normal prison unit. "I have been told," he said, "that they have been held in the unit without any certainty about what they have to do to work their way out of the unit, or any certainty about when they will leave the unit if they behave." His investigation will pursue finding whether the management of the prison is in accord with international human rights standards.
The treatment of prisoners reflects how a society regards its commitment to human rights. Keeping people without food for fifteen hours or restricting them to a few hours walking in a narrow space is not what those who believe in human rights regard as how modern society behaves in respect to those who have been incarcerated.

In addition, the DSC-QX100 lens has received a shutter priority mode, which allows you to directly control the speed of its shutter. Additionally, in order to boost low-light capabilities, the ISO range of the DSC-QX100 has been greatly improved – from "max ISO 3200 to max ISO 12800''. The light sensitivity of the DSC-QX10 has also been increased to ISO 3200. This means that both lenses are now capable of shooting even better low-light stills.
The lenses can't be updated over-the-air, so you will need to execute this operation via your desktop computer. You can download the update at the source link.
Our full review of the Sony DSC-QX10/QX100 lenses can be found here.

Questions, I Get Questions #2/
I just received a question and when I responded, I got the dreaded non-deliverable response. So I thought I would address here, in this space, in case it would help others.
> Subject: motivation
> Message: first i would like to tel you you have a great website
> and i enjoy it a lot. Im a fair artist and lately i cannot motivate
> my self to draw(i have depression issues :-) ). How do you
> motivate yourself to make such wonderful things each day. i
> would like to find a way other than therapy to motivate myself
> just wondering how you do it
> love your work
BeautifulDreamer {name has been changed to protect the identity of the writer},
I really don't motivate myself to do art everyday, that just happens. I have to motivate to do everything else like cleaning, and I am not good at that! Maybe I don't set out to "make wonderful things" I just set out to draw, or sew, or paint, no goal in mind. Practice. One thing you might try is to create something on an index card every day for a month. Anything. A word. A color. A bunch of circles. And just do that every day.
I have a lot of ideas for index cards: /vividlife/what-can-you-do-with-an-index-card.html. Each summer, we do an index-card-a-day challenge. You can start any day: /icad/icad-faq.html.
You can also start doing the Daily Paper Prompt {/icad/daily-paper-prompt-intro.html}... you don't have to do them on the day I post, there will be 61 prompts in all.
Please write back and tell me if any of this might help?
Your thoughts are welcome, what else would you say to BeautifulDreamer? Does this question resonate with you, do you ever have difficulty motivating yourself to do art? I understand lack of motivation, but for me it is in other areas of life. What have you done to overcome your lack of motivation, or is it really perfectionism or lack of energy or even more than that?

Readers tired of preening athletes, spiraling ticket prices and performance-tarnishing drugs will find Thanksgiving 1959 a trip back to a simpler time: Friday Night Lights meets When Pride Still Mattered.
In the autumn of 1959, before a new bridge changed everything, one corner of New York City was like all the small towns where everybody turned out for the Thanksgiving Day football game.
The coaches in that game sprang from the same roots. Sal Somma, tall and reserved, was a onetime dropout who kicked the extra point that kept Vince Lombardi and Fordham's "Seven Blocks of Granite" out of the Rose Bowl. His onetime teammate Andy Barberi, short, squat and spectacularly profane, beat Somma to the only job either one of them wanted, and the game became a test of their contradictory approaches to football, and to life.
Fifty years after New York's first true schoolboy championship, Thanksgiving 1959 follows Somma and his players, the sons of Italian and Irish immigrants, on the road to the championship game and the Thanksgiving rivalry that — like the community around it — would never be the same.

One Response to PPLD Historic Image of the Day, 9/11/12: "Pikes Peak Center"
Jeremy says:
Of all the soulless generic 70's and 80's buildings in Colorado Springs, this is one which probably begs the most for some sort of facade make-over. It's a performing arts center for Pete's sake, not a minimum security prison! And the interior is so nice. Why did the movers and shakers of the City past decide to skimp on the exterior facade? Another one to stick in that very thick file folder: "What the hell were they thinking?"

Soooo Effective...
By Mary
from Saint John, NB
I have pain from fibromyalgia, bursitis, disc herniation... I could go on and on. I wish I could say this little piece of heaven takes it all away to that it never comes back, but I cannot. What I can say is that it takes away the pain while I am using it(for some of my severe issues) and for my muscle pain it totally relieves other pain for days. For muscle issues it is amazing. I was treated by a physiotherapist, acupuncture and laser therapy for tennis elbow and nothing worked. I used this system and it is now gone. Sometimes I wish I had two or three of these little gems to use all at the same time. To sum it up, I have experienced a great deal of pain relief and highly recommend this product to those who prefer not to take meds.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very satisfied with results
By woody
from medicine hat alberta
I had a Dr Ho device years ago and found it to be very effective for pain relief in my back....eventually it stopped working and I managed without help for a long time....I have had my 2nd unit for some time now and this one is better than the 1st one...I also use it on my husband also for back pain and he swears by it....my only beef is that the batteries are not easy to remove and put in place..arthritic hands make it more difficult to do this..pronlem needs to be addressed ..otherwise I would recommend to others

This is a great unit
By SYLVIA
from EAST YORK
I've had my unit for about 10 years and it is still going strong. Initially purchased it from TSC for tendonitis in my shoulder and after using it for 3 weeks 2 or 3 times a day, I have full mobility back in my shoulder and no pain. I use it now for back pain and it gives me great relief.

Very satisfied
By EKB
from Ottawa, ON
Very pleased with comfort achieved by using my Dr. Ho. Had been introduced to the system by family members,Would have given the unit 5 stars, if the travel case had been as well made as on earlier units. It is a nylon bag, not the zippered case previously provided.Am recommending this purchase to others and would buy again.

I'm Very Glad I Have One
By VICTORIA
from KINGSTON
I've had my unit for about two years. It only has the ten and twenty minute timer so I have to restart the unit several times for a really good session but that's a minor issue for a product that works quite well for me. I was paying $40.00 per week with a physio-therapist who used a similar although much larger piece of equipment to alleviate the pain in my arthritic back. This unit allows me to continue the treatment I was receiving without having to leave my home. I didn't give a 5 star rating only because I believe my unit has developed a short in one of the connector wires and I don't think I can purchase new wires without buying a whole new unit.
This is a great product.
By Achy Back
from Ottawa
This is the best product for a nagging sore back. Really works great on sciatica and would recommend the use of it to anyone who is suffering from back pain.
( 5 of 7 customers found this review helpful)
Too expensive and like a toy
By tgburd
from Kelowna, BC. Canada
I found this product deceiving in the shopping network hype. Had to supply my own batteries. Hard to get batteries into the back. Pads did not stick to skin as shown. Just a lot of hype.Far too expensive for product. Previously had purchased a tens outfit from local area and find it far better than this one. I have returned the Dr Ho package for full refund.

Who: Maryland (10-5, 2-0 ACC) at Pittsburgh (13-1, 1-0 ACC)
When: Monday, 7 p.m.
Where: Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh.
DMV radio: 105.7 FM, 1300 AM, 980 AM.
Coaches: Terps — Mark Turgeon (Third season, 52-33). Panthers – Jamie Dixon (11th season, 275-87).
Kenpom rating: Maryland 64th , Pittsburgh 7th.
Given the way Boston College's season has thus far combusted into a pit of flaming wreckage – seriously, who thought the Eagles would be 4-11 right now? – it's perfectly fair to call Monday's trip to Petersen Events Center the first true ACC road test for Maryland. Yes, the Terrapins have played just two true road games this season. In the first, they rolled over against Ohio State, in Coach Mark Turgeon's words. In the second they turned the phrase in a more productive sense by rolling over Boston College. Now awaits Pittsburgh, owners of a classically Jamie Dixon soft non-conference schedule with a 13-1 record that has it ranked seventh nationally by Ken Pomeroy. And while the Terps have plenty of practice playing away from College Park – this season, they are 3-2 in neutral floor games and 1-1 on the road – the Panthers are equally stout at home, undefeated in nine games there. With a victory, Maryland could move to 3-0 in conference play for the first time since 2001-02, while Pittsburgh could continue to validate itself against legitimate ACC competition after exiting December with little more than a win over Stanford and a loss to Cincinnati, both at neutral sites.
1. Win on the boards? The Panthers possess one of the country's best total rebounding profiles, ranking in the top 35 on both ends. Thing is, none of their players ranks in the top 100 in rebounding rates, but everyone does it well. Seven players of Dixon's 10-man rotation grab at least three rebounds per game. Maryland, no rebounding slouch itself, has five. Charles Mitchell will get his rebounds. He always does. But the Terps need Shaq Cleare (2.4 rebounds per game) and Jon Graham (2.5) to mop up during their minutes. If Evan Smotrycz (6.9), Dez Wells (5.3) and Jake Layman (5.1) hold to their season averages, the Terps should be fine.
2. Handle the environment? Back to the rolling over. The crowd in Columbus wasn't particularly rocking during the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, but LaQuinton Ross sent everyone into a frenzy within 10 minutes because Maryland didn't bother defending him behind the three-point line. From there the game snowballed out of control, something Turgeon would seem perfectly content to avoid in Pittsburgh. For the Terps, this means being better than their 19-percent turnover rate, particularly when the Panthers barely give away the basketball themselves (15.5 percent).
"There will be times where we'll really have to handle their pressure," Turgeon said. "We're talking about execution with toughness. If we do that, can battle on the boards with them."
3. Play inside-out? It's amazing what a little post production can do for the Terps. The first possession against Georgia Tech turned into a baby hook from Cleare, and from there, it seemed to pave the road for Maryland's success. Getting post touches – whether kicked out by Graham or predictably converted into a hook shot without reservation from Mitchell – opened up space for shooters sliding to holes when their defenders double down. Currently the Terps are making 37.6 percent of their three-point attempts this season, the third-best mark of Turgeon's career and best since 2006.
6: Turnovers committed against Georgia Tech, an all-time low for Maryland under Turgeon.
19.78: Pittsburgh's average margin of victory in nine home games this season.
296: Pittsburgh's non-conference strength of schedule.
Logistical challenges on two-game swings for Terps
Depth will be tested against Pittsburgh
Pregame notes: Faust, Allen thriving together
Georgia Tech postgame: Faust provides consistency off the bench
Morning review: Post play improved vs. shorthanded Yellow Jackets
Terps women top Tar Heels on the road
"We've been on the road a lot. Even neutral court is the road. I know it's not the same. This place is pretty special where we're going. I heard it's sold out, which is great. I'd like to think we're going to be ready to handle it." – Turgeon.
"I don't think it's going to be much of a challenge. We've done it already. It's a quick turnaround but I think we'll be fine. We're so deep. Everyone's playing like 15 or 20 minutes. It's not like everybody's playing 40 minutes. The minutes are spread out. We'll be fine." – Seth Allen.

Elk Cove Roosevelt Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
There is a quiet kind of excitement in the Willamette Valley after harvest 2008. Phrases and clichés keep rolling on such as classic cool climate, vintage conditions that are only dreamt of, potential to show the best of what Oregon has to offer.
Roosevelt is our premier Single Vineyard site, is a steep hillside vineyard that undergoes extensive pruning and cluster thinning to limit yields and maximize ripening in order to concentrate the fruit. Furthering our beliefs in ecological farming practices we now completely farm this site organically.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Firm, focused and distinctive for the tangy edge to its mineralaccented cherry, backberry and charred meat flavors, melding easily into a single thrust on the complex and vivid finish. Best from 2011 through 2018."
International Wine Cellar - "Bright ruby-red. Youthful, pungent aromas of dark berry and cherry skin, spicecake, pipe tobacco and dried rose. Weighty and supple in texture, offering sweet dark fruit flavors and notes of candied flowers and smoky herbs. A suave note of mocha arrives on the finish, which leaves sweet vanilla bean and candied blackberry behind. Generous and impressively concentrated pinot with a lot of immediate appeal but the depth to age well. "
The Wine Advocate - "The 2008 Pinot Noir Roosevelt Vineyard is from a 3-acre parcel planted in 1993 with high density spacing. It presents an already complex aromatic array of sandalwood, cinnamon, rose petal, black cherry, and black raspberry. On the palate it exhibits extra layers of savory fruit, impeccable balance, and enough underlying structure to evolve for 3-4 years. Drink it from 2013 to 2023. Elk Cove Vineyards' 2008 collection is first rate."

Elk Cove Winery
Elk Cove Vineyards is one of Oregon's oldest and most respected wine producers. Founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell, their focus has always been to produce handcrafted, estate-grown wines that can rival the best in the world. Estate vineyards now cover over 250 acres on five separate sites in the Northern Willamette Valley. Steep south-facing slopes of Willakenzie, Laurelwood and now Jory soil types provide excellent drainage, which are the perfect environment to grow world-class wine grapes. Winemaker Adam Godlee Campbell joined forces with his parents in 1995 and now directs the production of outstanding Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Blanc.
The name "Elk Cove" was derived from the Roosevelt Elk, which roamed nearby, and migrated into the valley each spring. View all Elk Cove Wines
About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

O'Reilly, disputing Powers' accurate account of their exchange on immigration bill: "You're crazy"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW IRONSIDE
On the May 1 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly disputed Fox News analyst Kirsten Powers' statement that the immigration bill sponsored by Sens. Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) and John McCain (R-AZ) in 2006 contained several provisions aimed at improving border security. Powers recalled: "I sat on this show and read a list to you of the bill of all the different things he [Kennedy] wanted to do." O'Reilly responded: "You're crazy."
Powers was right: On the May 8, 2006, edition of the program, after O'Reilly asked Powers if she still supported the Kennedy-McCain bill, "[e]ven with no securing of the border" provision, Powers noted that in fact the bill included several provisions addressing border security: "They have tons of security on the border stuff. I can read it to you right now ... double border patrol, adds 12,000 more agents ... adds new technology ... construction of fences, provides additional border."
On March 27, 2006, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved an immigration bill based on Kennedy and McCain's proposed legislation, "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act." In addition to providing a guest worker program and a path to citizenship, the Kennedy-McCain bill, according to a fact sheet provided by Kennedy, would have:
- Double interior enforcement by adding "1,000 investigators per year for next 5 years"
- Create a "[n]ew [s]ecurity [p]erimeter" by "add[ing] new technology at the border to create [a] 'virtual fence' "
- "Tighten[] [c]ontrols" by "expand[ing] exit-entry security system at all land borders and airports"
- Call for the "[c]onstruction of [b]arriers" by "mandat[ing] new roads and vehicle barriers at borders"
- Call for the "[c]onstruction of [f]ences" by "provid[ing] additional border fences at specific vulnerable sectors"
- "[A]uthorize new permanent highway checkpoints near border"
- Demand a "[c]omprehensive [s]urveillance [p]lan" that would "mandate[] new land and water surveillance plan[s]"
- "Create[] new crime for construction, financing, and use of unlawful tunnels."
From the May 1 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
POWERS: I don't think that that's where the disagreement is. I think the Democrats do want to secure the border, and I think that they've been very critical about the way --
O'REILLY: You think -- whoa, whoa. You think the Democrats want to secure the border?
POWERS: -- that they want to secure the border. I think where the real disagreement was, was on the [inaudible] on the path to citizenship.
O'REILLY: You think Ted Kennedy wants this? No, wait. You got to answer these questions, Kirsten. This isn't a school class. You think Ted Kennedy, who's sponsoring the bills --
POWERS: It doesn't -- you're just picking out Ted Kennedy as one person. She just went through --
O'REILLY: He's the sponsor of the bills.
POWERS: -- a whole list of people, Blue Dog --
O'REILLY: You think he wants to secure the border?
POWERS: No, she just went through a list of Blue Dog Democrats. There are Democrats who support --
O'REILLY: They don't sponsor the bill. Kennedy does.
POWERS: And in the bill that he --
O'REILLY: It's his leadership.
POWERS: And for that matter, in the bill that he sponsored, you're saying -- you're trying to tell me there was nothing in there about securing the border?
O'REILLY: Wait a minute, hold it. You think --
POWERS: There was all sorts of stuff in that bill about securing the border.
O'REILLY: I got to get this from you. I got to get this from you. You think Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid -- the three most powerful Democrats on the hill right now -- want to secure the border?
POWERS: Yes. They do want to secure the border.
O'REILLY: You do?
POWERS: They absolutely do want to secure the border.
O'REILLY: And you're pointing to what to back that up?
POWERS: And if you look at the Kennedy bill, there was a long list of things that he wanted to do, including increasing the number of --
O'REILLY: There was one thing: add more border patrol agents.
POWERS: Adding more border -- no, and adding other security measures.
O'REILLY: Like what?
POWERS: There was different -- I can't remember the specifics right now, but there was --
O'REILLY: You can't remember? There wasn't anything.
POWERS: Yes, there was, Bill.
O'REILLY: No, there was some little -- put more water --
POWERS: I sat on this show and read a list to you.
O'REILLY: -- fountains out there.
POWERS: That's not true. I sat on this show and read a list to you of the bill of all the different things he wanted to do.
O'REILLY: You're crazy.
POWERS: I am --
O'REILLY: You're crazy.
POWERS: OK, that's good. Now you're doing the name-calling.
O'REILLY: You're so crazy.
POWERS: Yeah. OK.
O'REILLY: All right. I'm just amazed that you think Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid want to secure the border. I am just amazed.
From the May 8, 2006, edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
POWERS: Well, I don't think -- the way Michelle just couched it is not accurate, at least in terms of what the Democrats have put forward -- what Kennedy supports. It's -- they would be put at the back of the line. Nobody's getting in front of the line in front of anybody, so it's not --
O'REILLY: But they wouldn't have to go back.
POWERS: They wouldn't have to go back. That's the difference. It's just that they're here, and they would be able to be put on a pattern -- on a path --.
O'REILLY: Do you support the Kennedy-McCain thing?
O'REILLY: Even with no securing of the border?
POWERS: No. They have tons of security on the border stuff. I can read it to you right now.
MALKIN: Good God!
POWERS: -- double border patrol, adds 12,000 new agents. You know, adds new technology, create a virtual --
O'REILLY: Twelve thousand new agents over a period of 10 years. Come on.
MALKIN: Are you kidding?
POWERS: ... vehicle borders. Construction of fences, provides additional border -
O'REILLY: Kirsten, we're going to send you down -- we're going to send you down -- we're going to send her down to see how secure the border will be under McCain-Kennedy.
All right, ladies, thanks very much. As always, we appreciate it.

Im kinda stumped at this point. ive spent days reading across the net looking for answers and it just leads to more questions
So the car is a 04 wrx. the previous owner did little if no maintenance on it. He installed some ghetto turbo back exhaust with a catless downpipe, and im guessing started throwing codes due to no tuning, so installed a cat into the downpipe.
I got the car around 140k miles on it. car had a CEL (which i think was a emissions code, i foget) Replaced the timing belt and did a catless up pipe at the same time which then made the code go away. Drove the car around for a few months and have noticed that im only getting about 150 miles per tank and that its only building 10psi, i tried to turn in the WG arm a few turns which made no change. This last weekend the car popped a P0420 code which i assumed due to the rich exhaust smell ment the cat was plugged up. I ordered myself a AP and then removed the rear cat from the car, during this time i sprayed the entire engine bay with carb cleaner with her idling to search for vac leaks and found nothing, and replaced the fuel filter. as of last night the car was still only making about 11psi and is getting poor mpg.
So at this point im kinda at a loss where to go next. Thinking maybe cleaning the MAF sensor and maybe replacing the front O2 sensor?
stock intake.
turbo back exhaust, no cats
Cobb AP
All new fluids
new timing belt
new fuel filter

Raising the Bar: Organizing Capacity in 2009 and Beyond; A Report for the Neighborhood Funders Group
Wood, Richard L.
Efforts to reshape the life opportunities for working families in America face a critical juncture in 2009 and beyond, involving both new opportunities and new challenges. This critical juncture arises due to two recent changes. First, 2008 brought important changes in national political dynamics as a result of the economic meltdown and the election of President Barack Obama and a new Congress. Second, internal dynamics within community organizing efforts in poor, working-class and middle-class communities have changed, with significant progress made over the last decade in re-engaging working families in the political process. This report uses the recent experience of two projects – different models for mobilizing working families for civic engagement on policy reform – as a lens to explore the broader dynamics of community organizing today. Ultimately, it argues that these dynamics present a strategic window of opportunity for those dedicated to advancing the interests of working families in the United States.

Music producer Timbaland, who is behind names like Nelly Furtado, Keri Hilson or Justin Timberlake, seems to be mesmerized by the ability to play Xbox Live games on a phone, in a tweet aimed to tout the virtues of Verizon's HTC Trophy:
Microsoft is rumored to step up marketing and awareness about the Windows Phone platform, especially improving on carrier relationships, which, as some secret shopper experiences confirmed, leave much to be desired.
Nokia Windows Phones and the second generation of WP7 handsets with the Mango update hit later this year, but scoring Timbaland is not bad for a start. Perhaps "Talking on the phone" was the reason he scored the HTC Trophy promo, this song is so made for a smartphone TV ad.

Bus Service
St John's College and Roedean again hope to offer a joint bus service from five different areas around Johannesburg in an effort to assist parents with timely and expensive commuting to school. Regrettably, the profusion of bus service in the afternoons is too complex and costly to be feasible.
The five routes are:
- North – Kyalami Estate, Paulshof, Galio Manor, Rivonia, Morningside, Sandown, Inanda, Atholl
- Parks – Craighall Park, Parktown North, Parkhust, Greenside, Parkview, Parkwood, Saxonworld, Forest Town
- Waverley – St John's to St Mary's, Oaklands, Waverley, Lower Houghton (Parents may use this service to transport their daughters to St Mary's)
- East – Bedfortview, Eastgate, Bruma, Cyrildene, Observatory
- South – Meyersdal, Glenvista, Bassonia, Oakdene, Linmeyer, The Hill
Note: The North, South and East Routes have not been running in 2012 because there were not sufficient numbers to support these two routes. We are looking to reintroduce them in 2013, so please apply if you are interested.
All five of the above routes and the stops that were listed, are described in more detail on our website at http://www.stjohnscollege.co.za/studentBusService.php, along with maps of the routes. Parents who stop reasonably nearby that they could make use of. (For example, parents in Edenvale may find it relatively easy to get their children to Bedfordview, buses may run either ahead of, or behind the estimated schedule. Parents should ensure that they are at the relevant stop in good time. All stops have been selected to ensure that there is a suitable place for parents to park and wait in their cars until such time as the bus arrives.
Wherever possible, buses will terminate at Roedean, St John's Pre-preparotory School and St John's Tuckshop. In some instances, depending on time and traffic, Roedean pupils may have to be dropped at St John's Pre-preparatory School and they will need to walk over the bridge to Roedean.
The buses to be used will be the St John's buses(driven by experienced drivers, all whom may have worked for St John's for over three years and have impeccable safety records) or hired-in buses from reputable companies whose safety and reliability has been well-checked before their services have been engaged.
The cost of the service is R1,971 per term for each of the routes, with the exception of the Waverley route, which will cost R985 per term. (We reserve the right to change the cost of the service on a termly basis, depending on escalations in the diesel price) We also reserve the right to change or terminate any of these services should there be insufficient take-up of the service to make it feasible to run.(These services are being run on a break-even basis, and neither school is making a surplus from the services.)
Should you wish to make use of the service please complete the attached document / form and return it to Megan Carter(contact details on the form). A separate form must be completed for each child that will use the bus service. Please ensure you indicate which route AND the stop-number on that route you wish to use.(The stop-number is important for the drivers, as certain stops may be discontinued if there are no pupils needing collection.) Once your form has been returned, a bus ticket will be issued to your child and this must be shown to the driver when boarding the bus each morning. The relevant cost will be debited to your school fee account(except for the St Mary's run service; you will need to pay the organizers directly). One half-term's notice must be given to Megan Carter in the event the pupil is discontinuing use of the service.
Finally, the five routes will be operated as described in the accompanying documentation. Should you have suggestions about route changes, additional stops or anything else that may help us in improving the service, please send them to email@example.com. We will evaluate the services continually and incorporate any suggestions and ideas that we believe will benefit parents during 2013.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
snowball cookies
I like these cookies very much. The recipe makes a lot of cookies and they are not too sweet. I have made them with the crunch bar and with just nuts and with vanilla chips. I liked the nuts to best.
Perfect for kids tomake
I work at an afterschool program with first graders. They loved these and they were so easy to make. It is hard to find a recipe for 25 first graders to participate in but this was one!
I wanted to try something new and found this recipe. I thought it was alright-tasting. Too plain for my taste.
These were so easy and delicious.. my family likes me to make these a lot for them...you can use differnt extracts also to change the flavor...

Another new X1 owner
Picked up an Xdrive 35i this weekend for the wife, she really liked it and had to have one. She wasnt very impressed with the 4 cylinder power so she gave up NAV, backup camera and a few other toys for the six cylinder. Its white with the staggered 323 wheels, premium package, cold weather package (kind of odd since the staggered wheels/tires are summer tires) and Sirius radio. I'd post some pics but its filthy after a couple days of rain.
Have about 500 miles on it already, 70/30 highway/city avg mpg is pretty stable at 24.5mpg which is pretty good. Granted she has been taking it easy since its new.
Pretty impressed with the power, surprisingly quick and a will be a great stoplight warrior, wife loves it. I drove it a bit yesterday and its a pretty nice little car/SAV/Crossover or whatever it is. Little wind noise on the highway, the speedo being 4-5mph high at 70mph is a bit annoying. But at least the odometer is correct and not piling up 5% more mileage, hoping that will be fixed in the future since the dealer told me about it right off the bat and I confirmed with my GPS, my old 2011 M3 and 2008 535 speedo was right on so I'm pretty sure BMW can handle getting it a little closer. Keeping fingers crossed that there will be no HPFP issues on these.
Overall pretty happy with it, handles well, looks good, nice sounding exhaust and its something different around here for now.
Congrats on the new X1. Nice car. Regarding the speedo, this is normal for BMW. German regulations specify a speedo cannot run slower than the actual speed so BMW engineers them to indicate faster than actual speed. It's normal for all BMW models. If you want to run at 75, set the cruise at 80 mph.
Pictures or videos?! :) I've been debating the 323 wheels but there are practically no good pictures of a white X1 with that option.
Unless thats a new 'feature' for 2013..
It would be interesting to see a class action law suit about the maintenance plan expiring sooner due to the higher speed "feature".
I have a feeling a software update will be coming to fix it when more people realize it.
My speedo reads 5 mph too high as well. My dealership told me it's common and that nothing can be done about it. The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if it's not at least in part an attempt to improve real world fuel economy numbers. Driving 65 instead of 70 is a sneaky way to get unknowing customers a bump in their mpg's.
Could be, its not really that big of a deal to me but I will mention it when it goes in. If it was adding up the miles 5% more quickly it would be a bigger deal though.
I can see maybe 1-2mph to be safe buy 4-5mph at highway speeds is way off to me, if Chevy, Ford and Dodge can show the correct mph I'm sure BMW can get a little closer.
Okay wait, how is the speedo calibrated? on the stock 17" rims?
Do they adjust the speedo if 18"/19" rims are installed via the Sport, Xline, M Sport lines?
Plus if the speedo was off from tire size difference the odometer would be off as well.
Like I said its not a deal breaker as long as the odometer reads correctly, my '11 E92 was very close on the speedometer so its not all BMWs. Same with my old 535, but honestly I never checked that one against a GPS, but I never remember getting dirty looks going 80mph in the left lane land (70mph speed limit) like this X1 lol. Maybe the Ms get closer calibrations, who knows.
But I did notice that when I set the cruise at 70mph the little extra cruise needle goes to 72mph and thats where the speedometer sits as well so thats 2mph in gauge error right there. I guess overall its a good thing since my wife drives too fast anyhow and its her DD, I havent told her its that far off ;)
wind resistance (drag) increases with the 2nd power of velocity. at slow speeds (low turbulence) differences in velocity are less significant, but in the 70/75 range, the difference in drag, and therefor MPG, can be large. i wouldn't totally discount the speedo "error" as a marketing device for owners to achieve seemingly better MPG, and even faster apparent acceleration times!
curious though - don't Germans pride themselves on always being on time? or is that just the Swiss-Germans? they still drive BMWs too though....

The rich colors and sweet community that is so evident in this shoot reminded us of the cozy days to come, and suddenly, the winding down of summer seemed a little sweeter. While we love warm weather weddings and are so glad that living in the South means we get to enjoy lots of them, there is something especially magical about the fleeting early fall season. It's the loveliest setting for one more outdoor celebration of the year!

Tomato Tortellini Soup
1 (9 oz) package frozen or refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cans (10.75 oz each) condensed tomato soup
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups milk (I used skim)
2 cups half and half (I used fat-free)
1/2 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (found near the canned tomatoes at the grocery store)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Cook tortellini according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large stock pot, combine the soup, broth, milk, cream, tomatoes and seasonings. Heat through, stirring frequently. Drain tortellini and carefully add to soup. Stir in cheese. Sprinkle each serving with additional cheese if desired.
Makes about 8 servings.
