|Got my collards and sweet taters going!
Thanksgiving was spent cooking and eating and playing video games. We have the new Wii U. I'm freaking myself out playing ZombiU! I love turning all the lights off and playing a super creepy video game. Little things like that make me happy. :)
My heart is so full right now. It's like every day is Thanksgiving.
I've hit some kind of point in life where everything is so perfect and I'm savoring every second. I wouldn't change a thing. It's like I can feel that these are some of the best memories I'm going to make and I will remember this time for the rest of my life. I've been soaking it in and allowing myself to be happy and feel the peace that God is giving me. His blessings are obvious, abundant, palpable. I'm very aware that I'm being blessed right now.
Kal is so fun. Zay is so sweet and provides for my every need. I love my family! I have a warm, cozy place to live. I have a car that is like "The Little Engine That Could" and is so reliable. I have this amazing new computer (finally got a Mac!) that Zay got me, so I can watch all my Korean dramas online and feel like I'm in an HD movie theater (this screen is huge!). I've got two kitties who are happy and fat, who keep my feet warm at night. I have good food to eat and my cooking skills have improved tremendously. Thanksgiving dinner = success! I even cooked collard greens (cooked with the turkey neck, of course)! I'm spending the holidays in my own home with my little family - all our traveling is already out of the way for the year. I have a talent (braiding hair) that brings in extra money when we need it. The pace of my life has slowed down enough to have time to enjoy reading and meditating and writing to my heart's content. I have awesome friends who make me laugh and lift me up. I'm healthy. My family is healthy. We're safe.
And... as impatient as I am, I'm grateful for our tax refund (that has yet to arrive)... because with it, we will be able to move on with adoption plans without having to worry about the financial aspect of it AT ALL. How awesome is that? I am so thankful.
|I'm still working on my cooking skills, but I've always been able to make a mean pumpkin pie. Mmm, mmm, mmm!

2012 Focus Turbo Kit
Just bought a 2012 Focus Hatchback and looking to find out when and if they will release a turbo kit for it. I know the ST model will hit the USA next year but I dont want to wait for that. Anyone know if there is one out there that will fit the 2012 or if they will release one?
Congrats on the new car and Welcome to ff I think I would have waited for an st and got a factory turbo and upgraded that. if you do get a kit say goodbye to a warranty and I assume it will be a few years till they are made to sell.
Ok well I can always trade-in the focus for the ST when it comes out so im not worried about that or any warrenty work. Just was looking to have some fun until that comes out.
I haven't had alot of time to read up on the 2012, what engine does it have in it?
I'm sure you could get a one-off kit built for under 2k all said and done, is tuning even available for the 2012?
Also if its direct injection, that might be another task...
The engine is going to be a 1.9 turbo direct Injection. They are still tweaking bugs out of it trying to get it just right. Also south America will rejoice they are getting that 1.9t in their fiesta! When does america catch up?
Yeah why didn't you just wait for a Focus ST to come out could have spent 3-4k more got a warranty on the car and have it turbo ed now you would have to put a turbo on and it will void the warranty. Well th ST is coming out in prob 6 months and i am pretty sure if you trade in your car you will lose a good chunk on the trade in.
My dad works for ford so when I trade it in I will have no problem getting what I owe on it. I put a lot of money down, just had to trade in the sports car for something with better MPG for now. Ford just needs to hurry and bring the ST to america. And the engine is 2.0 direct injection.
I hope you don't want too much power. Direct injection is so much fail for big power.
Nothing extreme thats what I got the Nissan for got that baby up to 522hp w/ 550 ft lbs of torque. Just want the ST for something else fun to drive. I traded in the old WRX for the focus but the WRX was getting old and it was his time.
I'm just not seeing how this is a fail? Please explain?

Lakeland Mayor Gow Fields didn't hold back Tuesday when he had the opportunity to ask Commissioner Howard Wiggs a question during a debate at the Rotary Club.
LAKELAND | Lakeland Mayor Gow Fields didn't hold back Tuesday when he had the opportunity to ask Commissioner Howard Wiggs a question during a debate at the Rotary Club.
Fields said Wiggs has wanted to make Lakeland Electric easier to sell during the majority of his more than two decades on the City Commission. Fields asked how the public can trust Wiggs to stick with his recent change of mind and not support a plan to make it easier to sell the utility.
Wiggs said he never supported selling the utility.
"The dollars and cents just weren't there," Wiggs said.
But he remains open to the idea of having a different group overseeing Lakeland Electric besides city commissioners and the Utility Committee.
"There may be a situation where we need different government structure," Wiggs said.
At one time, he said, he �supported a decision by the Lakeland Area Chamber of Commerce to select businesspeople to oversee the utility's $400 million budget.
"I want what will work best for the citizens," Wiggs said after the debate, which was held at the First United Methodist Church on Lake Morton. About 100 people attended. The election is Nov. 5.
Moderator Joe L. Ruthven asked Fields and Wiggs whether they support the police chief and city manager, their plans for attracting new business to downtown and the top three issues they would face if elected.
In response to the question about the most important issues, Wiggs said there is a lack of communication at City Hall, the city faces a lean reserve budget in the coming years and Lakeland Electric's strong performance will help the city and its residents.
Fields said job creation, improved communications in social media at City Hall and quality of life issues are important issues the city faces.
Wiggs criticized City Hall for its work with businesses
Ruthven asked the candidates how they plan to attract new businesses and support current businesses.
"We need to work a lot more closely with LEDC (Lakeland Economic Development Council)," Wiggs said.
He said he's been asked why the city hasn't worked more with the privately funded organization made up of local businesspeople and companies.
He said the city needs to hire a small business ombudsman who can help improve relations with businesses and the government.
Fields said he's frequently involved with LEDC's leadership programs for young professionals.
Fields said the city has made enhancements to its impact fee mitigation program to bring in more businesses. He said Jason Wiley, the economic development coordinator for the city, has worked to bring in new businesses, including Matheson Tri-Gas, a $40 million gas plant that is expected to be Lakeland Electric's second-biggest user of electricity.
Both candidates said they support Lakeland Police Chief Lisa Womack and City Manager Doug Thomas.
But Wiggs stressed that City Hall and the Police Department must be more transparent.

This stylish kit comes with everything you will need to create custom invitations. The combination of the ivory and chocolate colors is great - it is just like a fancy cake. Yummy!
These wedding invitations come in bold modern patterns yet have sophisticated elegance. Very chic choice and completely customizable.

WNYC Covers Howard Hughes After He Circles the Globe in Record Time!
Howard Hughes wades through a scrum of reporters at Floyd Bennett Field, July 14, 1938. Hughes and his four-man crew had just returned to New York after circumnavigating the globe and covering 14,672 miles in a record-setting three days, 19 hours, 14 minutes and 10 seconds.
WNYC was there as they made their way from the plane to the ticker-tape parade, and a special City Hall reception the following day. The parade from the Battery to City Hall broke all previous records, with an estimated 1.5 million well-wishers on the street and another half million watching from office windows and rooftops. At City Hall, Hughes was modest before the thousands of well-wishers and those listening at home.
"I am not very good at making speeches, and I have consented to make this one only because there is one thing about this flight that I would like everyone to know. It was in no way a stunt. I was the carrying out of a careful plan and it functioned because it was carefully planned. We who did it are entitled to no particular credit. We are no supermen or anything of that sort. Any one of the airline pilots of this nation, with any of the trained army or navy navigators and competent radio engineers in any one of our modern passenger transports, could have done this same thing...If any credit is due anyone, it is the men who designed and perfected, to its remarkable state of efficiency, the modern American flying machine and equipment. If we made a fast flight, it is because many young men in this country went to engineering schools, worked hard at drafting tables and designed a fast airplane and navigation and radio equipment which would keep this plane upon its course. All we did was operate this equipment and the plane according to the instruction book..."
Broadcast on WNYC Today in:
1927: Ida M. Mellen delivers a talk on alligators. Note: Mellen (1877-1970) was an aquarist at the New York Aquarium, 1916-1929. She wrote books and articles on marine biology and cats. Mellen is also known for exposing the urban legend of 'refrigerator cats.'
1939: As part of the ceremony marking the 150th anniversary of the first session of Congress, President Roosevelt addresses a joint session of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Note: The event is noted as being radio's most extensive coverage to date, with more than 400 stations carrying the ceremony and speeches.
1946: Edward Corsi, Ray Milland, Iris Barry, Robert Mochrie, and others appear at the Foreign Language Press Film Awards. Topping the awards is the Leo McCarey production of The Bells of St. Mary's, named best film of 1945 by foreign language press critics. Ingrid Bergman is judged best actress on the basis of her work in that film, as well as in Spellboun and Saratoga Trunk. Ray Milland receives honors as the year's best actor for his performance in The Lost Weekend. Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett win for best screen play for that film, and the award for best director goes to Alfred Hitchcock for Spellbound.
1954: WNYC Director Seymour N. Siegel delivers the opening remarks at WNYC's 2nd Annual Book Festival, and later M. Wilson presents a talk on university presses. Note: The annual event ran for five years from 1953 to 1957.
1964: German author and playwright Rolf Hochhuth and producer Herman Schumlein talk about Hochhuth's controversial play The Deputy at the Overseas Press Club. The play sparked controversy because of its criticism of Pope Pius XII's role in World War II.
1979: WNYC Program Director Richard Pyatt interviews radio host Bob Grant for this edition of Visitors From the Other Side. "The other side in our frame of reference is neither the Jordan nor the Rubicon, but commercial radio and television..."
1983: Tim Page speaks with composer Ned Rorem on New, Old and Unexpected.
1996: In this edition of New York and Company with Leonard Lopate, David Foster Wallace discusses his three-pound-three-ounce novel, Infinite Jest.
2002: The documentary series Six Months: Rebuilding Our City, Rebuilding Ourselves presents This Was My City Too. Immigration and identity are the focus of Arab-American radio producer Jad Abumrad and Pakistani-born journalist Nafisa Hoodbhoy as they examine the impact of September 11th on Arabs and Pakistanis in New York.

Nick Lachey Dishes on Past & Current Relationship Status with Ex Wife Jessica Simpson
Nick Lachey dishes about his past situation with ex-wife Jessica Simpson while making an appearance on Jenny McCarthy's SiriusXM's radio show Dirty, Sexy, Funny with Jenny McCarthy.
"I think in our situation, that was probably the best thing that could have ever happened is that we didn't have kids," Nick said on the air. "All things being equal, it was the best thing probably for the both of us that we went on with our lives and she's obviously happily married with two [kids]. I'm happy married about to have two so it all worked out the way it was supposed to work out."
When asked if he and Jessica are friends, he responded, "I wouldn't say it's friends, but I wouldn't say it's enemies. There's just no contact," Nick said. "We've both moved on with our lives and I think we're very happy with the way it went. It's not animosity, it's not friendship, it's just kind of nothing."

Soon after installing the UTEC map selector on my center consol I figured it wa sonly a matter of time untill either A. Some person in my car or even possibly meself would accidently push the switch. Or B. a passenger of mine would push the button out of curiosity. Neither sounded like something I wanted to happen, especially while I would be driving.....So it's time for some simple DIY.
Step 1: Go to a local store that sells switches w/ hazard caps. I tried NAPA, Wal-Mart, and Radio Shack. Radio Shack had the best deal for me so I picked up a red hazard switch for $5.
Step 2: Take apart the switch and remove the flip cap from the toggle-switch.
Step 3: Place the safty flip cap in a stable place i.e a vice, and cut away the unneeded bracket where it fits around the switch. You may also modify the bracket to sleeve over the switch if you wish too. Cutting off half the bracket worked fine for me though.
Step 4: Attach some 3M double sided sitcky to the hazard flip switch and mount it on your map selector.
Done! now you don't have to worry about your map selector being tripped while driving. Plus it dosen't look too bad mounted on your dash. Enjoy!

So, will we see the third Sony smartwatch revealed at CES? It's a strong possibility considering the FCC filing. Unfortunately, not too much is known about the timepiece in terms of specs. We do know that the watch will offer Bluetooth connectivity and does support NFC.
It sounds like Sony is going to be packing a pretty heavy suitcase for the trip to Las Vegas, with quite a number of devices that it could be showing off at the show.

No audible chirp
My audible chirp at lock and unlock stopped working today after my son was playing with my key fob. Is there a combination of buttons to press to turn it back on? 2008 750li
Double tap unlock Or triple tap. It should toggle the chirp back on
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Bimmer App
I tried double tapping and triple tapping the fob with no luck. If anyone has an answer to this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
as long as you had it activated before ,
I just don't remember if you do it while locking or unlocking .
Maybe your hood isn't fully closed? If not completely closed, the hood will prevent the alarm from chirping.
Alarm Chirp
My Alarm Chirp Stop working the other day so i replaced the Hood Switch with a new one and this did not help i was sure that was it. Then i parked on a hill and when i set the car it chirped.. and worked for a few days now its gone again. i spoke to the stealership today they said it could be the Alarm itself of some Antenna either way its 400.00 for one or 800 for the other , I JUST do not want to give them anymore money the prices are crazy.

Hi Everyone,
Honestly I think I may be asking a similar question to the Javascript Slider that someone has posted just prior to this.
I purchased the WP Theme called Prominence, a beautiful theme!
The theme offers a slider that stays on the left on the web page allowing the user to change the color of the template as desired.
What I am wanting to do, is have something similar for donations… if not connected to the one on the left side, maybe something that floats elsewhere in the page.
Is this something difficult to do? Something a novice could do like me?
I'd really love some sort of assistance if anyone is willing.
Thank you so much!
P.S. Example of the site is http://www.babynatali.ca/home/

Removed Side Moldings
1 Attachment(s)
Going off another thread about side moldings, I had them removed this morning! It was a really easy job my friend who owns a body shop used a clear liquid and they came right off! No damage to the paint of course... Now the other post had the letters on the side but I'm thinking about keeping it with out anything.... What do you think? All in all I think that it looks 100x better and soon I am going to put on the altitude grille and rear brow....thanks for the opinions!
Tints "check"
Side moldings "check"
Rear brow
Paint rims black
Re: Removed Side Moldings
Surprised to see you had someone else remove them when all you gotta do is peel them off. IMO you for sure have to put the letters on as the jeep looks extremely plain down there with nothing there. Sometimes I even think with the letters it still looks like something is missing. Either way I have mineral gray with the letters on the side and im very happy with it.
Re: Removed Side Moldings
My friend owns a body shop and really don't wanna take a chance to mess the paint up. Besides I'm not all that handy I am thinking about putting the letters on but they want like 67 dollars for each strip, that's 134 on plastic lettering.... I'm trying to find it cheaper and in past post I've seen it for like 27.... Still obserd for plastic but a lot better.... How much where ur letter and where did u get them from?
Re: Removed Side Moldings
I just picked up a set for $27ea.
Re: Removed Side Moldings
Re: Removed Side Moldings
I'd leave it. I don't mind the moldings at all. But, if I stripped them, I'd leave it bare. Letters are a real paint to clean, polish, wax around, etc. Tar will get caught in them, etc.
Re: Removed Side Moldings
google the part# and you'll find a place or two at the old price.
