Pay it Forward
I found this over at Nancy's blog..
she is doing this pay it forward..
so I thought.. what a great idea.. :)
"Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It's passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn't only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves.

Fish pedicure case goes to court
A civil trial began Monday in a case by an Arizona salon owner who is challenging an order from cosmetology regulators that forced her to stop offering pedicures that use fish to nibble the dead skin off people's feet.
Related: Tiny carp rid feet of scaly skin
Cindy Vong opened a fish spa within her nail salon in the Phoenix suburb of Gilbert during October 2008 but was forced to close that fish spa segment of her business nearly a year later.
The closure was prompted by the state's Board of Cosmetology, which said the practice was illegal because the fish were a tool for skin exfoliation that couldn't be sanitized in between uses.
Vong said the practice poses no health risks, prompted no complaints from clients and that the treatments, which cost $30 for 20 minutes, were popular and profitable.
``There is not a single instance of harm attributable to fish spas in the entire world,'' said Clint Bolick, a lawyer for the libertarian-leaning Goldwater Institute, who is pressing Vong's case in court.
Fish pedicures are popular in Asia and spread to some U.S. cities in recent years. But Texas, Washington, Massachusetts and New Hampshire have outlawed the practice because of health concerns.
Lawyers made brief opening statements Monday during the first day of Vong's two-day trial. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge George Foster Jr. will decide the case.
Attorneys representing the Board of Cosmetology pointed out that Vong signed an agreement to close the fish spa operation and said the fish pedicures are part of the practice of cosmetology and pose health risks. Vong's lawyers said she signed the agreement to bring the case to court.
Evan Hiller, an attorney for the board, said regulators properly applied the same rules to fish pedicures as they do to other facets of cosmetology, such as scissors that must be disinfected after a customer's haircut.
But Hiller said fish can't be disinfected and, thus, carry the risk of disease.
Vong said she spent $40,000 setting up her spa fish operation, including the purchase of tiny Garra Rufa fish from China. She lost that investment and had to fire employees after regulators forced her to close the spa fish operation. Vong isn't seeking monetary damages and instead wants a declaration that her constitutional rights were violated.
Her case was dismissed in May 2010. It was revived by a state appeals court that ruled fish pedicures fall under the board's regulation but also concluded the spa owner could continue to press claims that her due-process and equal protection rights were violated. Her lawsuit said
Vong wants her right to pursue a legitimate business interest vindicated.

Today's security requires consistent protection against threats and malware. Enterprises must be flexible while having a secure infrastructure to protect effectively the most valued asset of a company (the data), and their access through the cloud. Running many distributed servers involves much effort to install, manage, maintain, and provide security for them. To contain this effort, many enterprises are consolidating these servers on z Systems or LinuxONE by using the z/VM as the hypervisor, taking advantage of the virtualization technologies to use the hardware effectively and to simplify administration tasks.
It is generally held that "security through obscurity" is not a valid method. Using open, well-established security methods implemented correctly provides the best defense. For example, instead of developing your own cryptographic libraries, you should instead use open, established ones that have been vetted for many years. Hiding information creates more system administration work and any mistakes may fail to protect against attacks.
Implementing the enterprise security policy and following the least privilege principle increases the strength of security in your enterprise cloud.
In a LinuxONE environment, the building blocks of the Cloud environment could include:
- The z/VM Directory Manager (DirMaint),
- Extreme Cloud Administration Toolkit (xCAT),
- z/VM Cloud Manager Appliance
CMA allows the usage of OpenStack to deploy Linux guests on z/VM, and for the integration of z/VM into larger environments. The CMA version is upgraded to OpenStack Liberty and is fully supported as a z/VM component without additional license requirements. CMA only manages z/VM platforms and it does not deploy guests onto non-z/VM platforms. The CMA changes provide several different options for using CMA, either as stand-alone cloud or integrated with another OpenStack environment.
For more information on this and more security, see Securing Your Cloud: IBM z/VM Security for IBM z Systems and LinuxONE, SG24-8353-00

UBS Outlook 4th Quarter 2003
Outlook for industry brightens. The global economic upturn is providing an initial tentative boost to Swiss industry, and the firms surveyed by UBS are also expecting foreign demand to pick up in the current quarter.
After a dismal performance in the first half of the year, Swiss industry seems to be emerging from the doldrums. This is the conclusion from the quarterly UBS survey of some 300 firms in the industrial sector carried out during September. Although sales and earnings were down again sharply in the third quarter, the figures for most sectors showed a marked improvement quarter-on-quarter. Moreover, sentiment seems to have bucked up throughout the economy. No less than seven of the ten sectors surveyed actually expect orders received to rise in the final quarter of 2003, with the main impetus coming from abroad, while the domestic economy is likely to remain weak for the time being.
The improved business situation of Swiss firms can be seen in the UBS business cycle indicator, which mirrors the concrete results of the survey and provides a very reliable picture of the near-term performance of the Swiss economy, leading the official data by two quarters. GDP contracted year-on-year by 0.6% and 1.0% respectively in the first two quarters of 2003, but our trend barometer now indicates that a hesitant recovery is in sight. Nevertheless, real GDP growth is unlikely to move into positive territory in either the third or fourth quarter of the year. In 2004, however, the upswing should pick up considerable speed as the global economy gets under way.
Weak business activity in the third quarter
With the European economy still sluggish and growth in Switzerland extremely weak, industry recorded a further deterioration in business activity in the third quarter. Across the board - whether orders received, production, order backlogs or sales - companies reported more declines than increases. In most sectors, however, the decline has slowed.
Since order backlogs have now been shrinking for ten consecutive quarters and the rebound in incoming orders has still to show up in positive growth rates, companies once again cut back production in the third quarter. As a result, plant capacity utilization remained low at 83% - some three percentage points below the long-term average. The only exceptions were the chemicals/pharmaceuticals and metals industries, which raised their output again slightly for the first time. Overall, however, sales fell sharply once again, especially in the domestic market. The inadequate level of capacity utilization also
impacted headcount, with a net 36% of industrial companies reporting a fall in staff numbers.
Stimulus from foreign demand expected
The strong improvement in global growth prospects is brightening considerably the business outlook for Swiss industry in the final quarter of 2003. Export companies, in particular, are likely to see their order books filling up rapidly as the European economy gathers pace. In the fourth quarter, more orders are expected to come from abroad, while domestic demand looks as though it will still be slightly negative. Since stocks of finished goods have been steadily reduced over the last six quarters, companies are likely to step up production a little for the first time. But with pressure on prices continuing in both the export and domestic markets, earnings are set to remain fragile. The downsizing of the workforce is not yet complete: 33% of companies expect to reduce their headcount between October and December, while only 6% are planning to take on more labour.
Broad-based recovery
All sectors of industry are likely to feel the benefits of the upswing in the fourth quarter. Most optimistic is the food sector, while the capital goods industry also expects a positive trend in incoming orders. Watchmaking and textiles, together with paper, printing & graphics, are all forecasting a continued decline in orders.

Life Span of Pets
Considering a new pet for your household? Well, one consideration is how long that pet will be a part of you life. Here is a list that explores an animal's potential lifespan:
The average life expectancy of an indoor cat is nine to fifteen years. The oldest cat ever was a Texan from Austin! Creme Puff was born on August 3, 1967, and died on August 6, 2005.
The median life expectancy of dogs is 12.8 years. This varies greatly by breed. The oldest dog ever was Australian cattle-dog, Bluey. He lived twenty-nine years and five months, from 1910 to November 14, 1939.
The larger the bird, the longer the expected life span. Birds vary from a finch or canary that has a life expectancy of fifteen years to a cockatoo that may live sixty-five years.
The life span of a hamster is two to three years.
Aquarium Fish
In general, the larger the fish, the longer the life span; and, egg laying fish live longer than those that give birth to live young. Bettas usually live an a little over two years, while goldfish may live ten to thirty years.

I must confess that at this point I have neither investigated the client/server transaction with a packet sniffer nor have I taken a look at the source code for the app. The first thing I thought to look for was what was happening on the server side.
I looked to the FAQ to see what was going on with the JSON interface that apps like that viewer use. So now I tried running that URL through cURL:
Code: Select all
$ curl -v http://xkcd.com/info.0.json
* Trying 188.8.131.52...
* Connected to xkcd.com (18.104.22.168) port 80 (#0)
> GET /info.0.json HTTP/1.1
> Host: xkcd.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.45.0
> Accept: */*
* HTTP 1.0, assume close after body
< HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
< Server: Varnish
< Retry-After: 0
< Location: https://xkcd.com/info.0.json
< Content-Length: 0
< Accept-Ranges: bytes
< Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2017 18:31:49 GMT
So the Location header indicates a redirect to the https version with that host and path. Now with cURL pointing to that new URL, I find a JSON blob with this value for the img key: "http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/bird_plane_superman.png". Hmm--it has "http" and not either "https" or an omitted scheme altogether. Do I find evidence of a recent adoption of a policy to redirect http to https? This means that every request from a client would result in four requests: 1. original request for JSON, 2. redirected request for JSON, 3. http request for image, 4. redirected request for image.
My guess is that the Android app does not expect the redirect. Is that the case or did the specification of the JSON change?
Besides that, why would it be that the main website, which requires no login, would require a redirect to an encrypted transport whereas the forums, which do require logins to post, don't even support https?

Today I'm sharing with you a card made for NOOR! Design UK design team. In my last dt package I got a few sheets of Mr Tom's Treasures papers from Pion Design. This whole collection is really masculine and even though it's quite different from the papers I usually use, I love it!!!!
Soooo .... I made an explosion box! hehe ... It's for men, obviously. I used a few different sheets of Pion papers, you can see which ones at the end of this post.
For the outside and the lid I used Mr Tom's Vintage Newspaper and Mr Tom's Captured Moments papers.
I made two pendants. First I fussy cut "for you" and "vintage car" from Mr Tom's Images from the Past and Mr Tom's Memory Notes. Then I adhered it to the black foam. Then I adhered both to black sheet od Pion paper and cut everything out. At the end I added crackle accent to give it the vintage look.
I stamped one of the Retro Autos on the side of the box with black ink, so it fits perfectly to the theme of this box.
I stamped one of the Retro Autos on the side of the box with black ink, so it fits perfectly to the theme of this box.
On the inside I used Mr Tom's Vintage Newspaper and a lot of fussy cut images from the sheets mentioned before.
I added a few die cuts made with different dies available at Noor! Design UK shop. I loveeeee using this Vintage Flourish Polaroid Camera with Filmstrip Die. It's perfect for this kind of project.
Sentiment is cut out of Pion Design Scent of Lavender Images of the Past.
On the lid I used Prima Marketing Vintage Trinket Clock Face Shapes, rolled rosses, another fussy cut from Mr Tom's Memory Notes and a Vintage Flourishes Leaf cut out of Pion Design Palette Green IV. Under the trinklet clock I added a Tag Die No.3.
The products used can be ordered in the Noor! Design U.K. webshop:

I know we're not really able to push out huge changes for our closest release date, but I'd like to debate things we COULD add to mix things up without adding too much complexity to the code base. I'll start us off with a few ideas.
- Poison status effect, to both demonstrate status conditions and since it suits the enemies in question.
- "Wounded" mechanic where abilities have a greater or lesser effect if the target is above/below 50% of current maximum hit points.
- "Flinching" / "Stunning" mechanic, where actors are pushed back in the action order (Flinching) or lose their upcoming action (Stunning).

All Other Living Libations Products
Yogi Tooth Serum, 5mL [SMALL] - Living Libations
Genuine essential oils address the circumstances that lead to a compromised immune system, including unwanted bacteria, viral loads, chronic inflammation, and a congested lymph system. The use of genuine essential oils originated as a medical therapy based on the pharmacological benefits of essential plant extracts. Essential oils and supercritical extracts are the key to our Living Libations formulas. They are highly concentrated, and with some of our botanicals, a whole plant is required to create only one drop of oil. The distinctive lipid-soluble structure of essential oils allow them to penetrate the lipid matrix of the gums and benefit the immune system. They send nutrients to the blood vessels and molecules, and reach the dentine, nerves, and roots of the teeth. They get the circulation and the lymph system going. Elements such as mastic in the Yogi Tooth Serum help to regenerate gum tissue. Essential oils are also potent in oxygen radical absorption capacity, or ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), and have been found to be among some of the most powerful antioxidants. Clove and cinnamon are very high in ORAC capability, and have impressive properties for eliminating bacteria. In addition to which the mosaic effect of the combined botanicals creates an effect of thousands of plant compounds. Some plant compounds will reduce inflammation, while others will have an antibacterial effect, and others an antiseptic one. Many essential oils combine all of these compounds.
Essential oils are extremely potent, often hundreds of times stronger than the herbal extraction of the same plant. Each oil has hundreds of botanical chemical components that work synergistically. Genuine distillations of plants, flowers, seeds, roots, and trees have been used medicinally for centuries. Each one of the botanical species in these formulas is carefully selected by Nadine Artemis for their individual and synergistic effects that improve and maintain gum and oral health. The combination of antiseptic, astringent, circulatory and analgesic botanicals create optimal molecular activity.
Yogi Tooth Serum is made potent extracts of organic neem, cinnamon, clove, cayenne, mastic, and cardamom to provide oral care support. This combination of ancient Vedic botanicals, Yogi Tooth Serum, is the yogi secret of anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal oral care.
Cayenne, Capsicum frutescens. Ours is a super-critical extract with catalytic, antibacterial, antiseptic, and stimulating properties. The capsaicin compound in cayenne is also a topical vasodilator which stimulates blood circulation.
Cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum, is an essential oil that stimulates and tones the digestive tract and has antiseptic properties that stimulate the phagocytic cellular action of the immune system. It is also supportive of the nervous system and helps supplement healthy oral care with its anti-infectious, antibacterial actions.
Cinnamon, Cinnamomum ceylanicum. Our true cinnamon bark essential oil from Madagascar is antiseptic and antibacterial. It stimulates blood circulation to the gums and promotes their health and regeneration. Cinnamon is high in the compounds eugenol and cineol, both of which have potent anesthetic and antiseptic properties that increase the production of white blood cells. According to the work of Drs Franchomme and P"noel, cinnamon bark oil is effective against 98% of all pathogenic bacteria.
Clove Bud, Eugenia carophyllata, is an analgesic essential oil from the flowering buds of the clove tree with an extremely high ORAC. Clove has relieved toothaches and freshened breath since ancient times. A potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal, clove boosts the immune system and stimulates blood flow with its botanical constituents of eugenol, esters, and sesquiterpenes, all of which combine to create an essence with an impressive action against pathogens and microbes. It is antiparasitic and helps gum infections, toothaches and tonsillitis.
Mastic, Pistacia lentiscus, is a type of resin similar to frankincense which comes from the inner sap of the mastic tree and is helpful for maintaining the connective tissue in the oral area. It has a long history of oral care use in ancient Greece and is very good in helping to remove tooth plaque. Mastic contains antioxidants, antifungal, and antibacterial benefits. The major antibacterial components of mastic oil are: α-Pinene, verbenone, α-terpineol, linalool, β-myrcene, β-pinene, limonene, and β-caryophyllene . Like all essential oils, the antibacterial efficacy of mastic oil is due to all of its components working synergistically. This resin extract is a potent antiseptic, which inhibits oral bacteria including Helicobacter pylori that creates stomach ulcers. Mastic oil helps to harness the activity of the blood's first-line-of-defense protection: the leukocytes (white blood cells) and the multinucleocytes. This helps to increase the tissue's defense, especially between the teeth and gums, where gingivitis and plaque occur.
Neem, Azadiracta indica, has pain-relieving compounds that can reduce the discomfort of a toothache. The vasodilatation and anti-inflammatory compounds in neem prevent cell adhesion and kill the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Neem alkalizes the gums and mouth, and kills the bacteria that cause Pyorrhea and Gingivitis. Neem obliterates the calcium-forming organisms and the organisms that cause cavities. Neem is 'arista,' which in Sanskrit means perfect, complete, and imperishable. Neem has been used in Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years in agriculture, food storage, and medicine. Many research studies prove that neem is fungicidal, miticidal, and antibacterial. Neem oil is an ideal remedy to eliminate periodontal and tooth infection. It can be applied locally around the teeth and gums and also benefits the gastrointestinal tract.
Essential oils in their unique nature are all antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral to varying degrees. In the book Beyond Antibiotics, Michael Schmidt devotes an entire chapter to the antimicrobial efficacy of essential oils, and states, One of the advantages essential oils have over antibiotics is that bacteria do not develop resistance to essential oils. Many essential oils exert their antibacterial effect by interfering with the bacteria's ability to breathe. On the other hand, antibiotics interfere with the life cycle, or metabolism of, bacteria, but since bacteria are very crafty creatures, they change their chemistry and genes, which makes the antibiotic less effective the next time it is used. As a result, new generations of antibiotics will need to be developed to stay ahead of these organisms. Additionally says Schmidt, another advantage to essential oils is that some actually stimulate immune function.
The botanical serums created for the Successful Self-Dentistry protocol are Healthy Gum Drops and Yogi Tooth Serum. Many people have asked us, What is the difference between the two and which should I use? The answer is that they have the same effect and the same excellent results, yet they contain different synergies of botanicals. All the ingredients are active and all the ingredients are antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, meaning they can remove unwanted oral bacteria, revivify gum tissue, and enhance the immune system.
Yogi Tooth Serum and Healthy Gum Drops achieve the same results with different botanical selections. They maximize the health of one's oral ecology by both rejuvenating the gum tissue and increasing blood circulation to the gums and blood vessels of the mouth. The Healthy Gum Drops is fresh and minty tasting. The powerful bitters of neem in Yogi Tooth Serum take some people a little getting used to (although the cinnamon and cardamom in the product do help make the neem palatable). That being said, there is no need to get both, although some choose both for variety and alternate between the two. Both serums are great for flossing, brushing, and for keeping gums healthy, which is a major key to oral health. Both formulas are also effective on a deeper level and, while they work wonders at cleaning the teeth and nourishing the gum tissue, they are also beneficial to digestion and the stomach. So, even if you are only focusing on the teeth and gums, the botanicals in these serums are part of an integrated, harmonious system that can also benefit your whole body.
People sometimes ask if it is okay if they happen to swallow any of the oral care serums. The short answer is yes, in the drop quantities in which they are used. Essential oils are potent and it is often advised they not be taken internally in any quantity. This is true if the oils are not a genuine authentic distillation. However, when pure distillations of essential oils are taken in small quantities (i.e. by the drop), most are fine (and often beneficial) for internal use. In fact, many essential oils are used by the food and flavor industries. Orange juice is often flavoured with essential oil from oranges, Earl Grey Tea is flavoured with essential oil distilled from bergamot, and many liqueurs, confectionaries, chocolates, and flavour extracts use various essential oils. Essential oils are lipid soluble and, because they have a small molecular size, are able to penetrate the dermal layer of the skin, positively affecting the body through the lymphatic vessels, capillaries, cells, and nerve endings located there.

Scientists have been attempting to explain the evolutionary explosion in the Cambrian period for decades, and I've found the absolute best explanation ever.
Tiny ocean plankton
The Cambrian period began a little over 500 million years ago. Before the Cambrian period, life on earth consisted of mostly single-celled organisms and bacteria. Afterwards the evolutionary ancestors of all the major groups of living things today were hanging around the planet. So what caused this evolutionary leap? According to one scientist, poop.
Biogeochemist Graham Logan published his opinion on the matter a few years ago. He points out that feces producing creatures, ones that ate food then excreted it like humans today, first arrived around 40 million years before the Cambrian period. He argued that their poo was what allowed oxygen levels to rise, and evolution to explode.
Before the advent of feces producing organisms, bacteria kept oxygen levels low. Plankton produced oxygen, but slowly. When they died, bacteria ate them and used most of the oxygen they produced to digest the dead plankton. This meant less oxygen for everyone else, and when you don't have a lot of oxygen you're apparently not going to be using all your energy on evolving into higher life forms.
Here's where the feces creatures come in. Instead of bacteria eating the plankton bodies, these creatures, with their guts and what have you, would eat the plankton themselves. Then they'd excrete them. The excretions dropped to the ocean floor quickly and the bacteria starved. This meant lower bacteria populations, meaning they used less oxygen so everyone else had more.
Logan's research focused on the ratio of carbon 12 and carbon 13 isotopes in rocks from the period that were formed from these dead creatures. If an animal is eating another animal, it will have a greater ratio of carbon 13. Before the Cambrian period, C 13 levels were very high. This makes sense if bacteria were eating a lot of dead plankton. After feces producing animals arrived, however, there was a lot less C 13. You'd expect this, as there would be less food for bacteria to eat.
Obviously, this is just one of many competing theories to explain the Cambrian explosion. Screw it, though. None of the other ones deal with poop creatures. This should now be adopted as the official Cambrian evolutionary explanation, if only because it'd be way more fun to talk about than the others. Spread the word.

Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz are having a tough time unloading the 16-room SoHo penthouse they bought from Lenny Kravitz in 2010.
The apartment, which hit the market in March for $17.95 million, has now been reduced to $15 million, The Real Deal reports.
The penthouse apartment is in a pre-war building on quiet Crosby Street, ideal for a celebrity looking to go under the radar. And the decor is immaculate.
The couple seems ready for bigger digs — they bought a 30-room New Jersey mansion from Eddie Murphy last year for $12 million.

Jeep Commander Water Leak and Radio Problem
I need help. I have a 2008 Jeep Commander Hemi and has 51K mileage now but problem happened way before it hit 50K. I have 2 water leak problems one got fixed or supposedly fixed in 2009 and one prior to that - these two were done within the warranty period. Week of Aug 23rd, my radio went out and since I was out of B2B warranty went to a extended warranty via car insurance. They told me they can not cover it cuz it looks like it was caused by water damage. When this problem happened it was raining that day. Took to the dealer to get my amplifier and wiring fixed and left the right door speaker unfixed for now as I will get a new speaker in a week after it got fixed. Anyway week I got the car back after getting the amp/wiring fixed it was raining, that was last week. Noticed that the radio volume went out again and then end of the week have water on the floor by the driver side.
So for folks who had the same problem, what have you done to get this corrected and not pay a cent as you can see it is an ongoing problem. I can understand if this is the first time and I am out of my B2B warranty but it looks like they really never fixed it and oh by the way, they have a thirday party who supposedly fixes this type of water leak problem so technically how can I really trust them to actually fullly fox this problem.
Please send in your input. I appreciate the help.

vernonwelch Posts: 1Hey... I am having a similar problem.. I have a 2008 Jeep Commander.. The water started leaking in the door on the front passenger side... I have tried to get the dealer to fix it.. They have this third party person who charges a set rate of $250.. It just so happens that that is the same amount of the deductible. I have been shopping around because not only is the service at the dealership awful, but I don't understand how the integrity and/or the seals on the cars doors can be compromised this soon after the car left the assembly line. I have contacted an attorney at 1800lemonlaw. In the meantime I have called another dealership for an estimate.. Its no way that Chrysler does not know that these cars are leaking. They need to be held accountable, especially since they got a piece of the bailout monies so that these dealerships could stay up and running..0
klink1 Posts: 1Hi,
I just purchased a 2006 Commander with 60K. on it. The floor boards were wet when I purchased it, so I had the dealer sign an agreement that they were responsible to fix this issue or give my money back. Cleaning out the door drains seems to have fixed this issue, but I'm still concerned that the issue will come back. It's only been a few weeks so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've also heard people say that its taken a new windshield to solve the issue. My research made it clear that this is a big issue and Jeep is not taking responsibility as of yet. If the problem comes back and it doesn't get fixed, I'm contacting a good attorney. If enough Jeep owner do this they will have to do something. I hope?0
larios1 Posts: 1Hi, was wondering if any of you have had any luck with getting the water leak problem fixed, or contacting an attorney. My sister-in-law and I both have a 2006 Jeep Commander and have been dealing with this problem for quite some time now. Her car completely shut down a couple of days ago with all of the rain we have had.0
uw_commander Posts: 1Sounds like some of you have had the same problem... I have a 2006 Commander that I bought in Jan 2007 and here in the Pacific NW it has been great.
Is there a connection between water leaks and the speakers cutting in and out?
How are they connected?
Thankx.... Barry0
easttncntryboy Posts: 1I have an 06 Commander that developed a water leak that was soaking both the drivers and passengers side floor boards. I don't know if any of you have the sunroof option but I traced my problem back to clogged drains that channel down the door pillars. They were a little tricky to get to but I blew them out with compressed air and have not encountered this problem since.0
I just bought a 2008 Commander that just hit 36,000 miles. The front driver's side floor was wet when I got it. Now everytime it rains, the driver's side floor is soaked. I cannot tell where the water is coming in from. I don't think the warranty will cover the repair since I am no on 37,000 miles. The one thing I did notice is that when it is dry out, I roll down the driver's side window and when I roll it back up, there is water on the window. When I do the same to the passenger side's window, it is dry. That got me thinking that the water is coming in from the window some how? Any thoughts on what I can do so that the floor doesn't end up rotting out, etc. At first I thought it was coming in when the roads were wet, but the car had dry floors three days ago, I have not driven it since and today it is raining and the floor is wet. So...the water is coming in while the car is in parked position. Pls help... shouldn't I be able to get this fixed. There must be a recall???0
bluesboy39 Posts: 1Hello, I also have an 06 Commander and shortly after buying thevehicle we had a water leak in the front left driver floor after a hard rain. im still having the problem but even worse now after the radio went mute . so today i started looking around on the net to see if any other customers were having issues with their commanders and sure enough just about every customer has had the water leak and the exhaust bolts breaking causing the exhaust ticking noise (i have repaired that myselft about a month ago) and just a lot of electrical issues prob. due to a minor water leak that has not been seen yet . anyway i took my panels off inside going to the a-pilar and removed drain from left side of sunroof to find it completely stopped up with trash and looks like some black foam insulation of some sort but clogged causeing water from sunroof not to drain at all but overflow and run down to all four floors now so hopefully that will stop for a while . i saw a post today from someone who said they found out that the drains arent large enough to handle the water flow from a hard rain and thats what someone at the dealer told them . so it appears that jeep has seen a lot if not all of these water leak issues and radio issues due to water leaks and cant understand for the life of me why there is not a recall yet but i do know that if you have it reapaired at a dealer and later jeep comes out with a recall on it then the manufacure will refund all of your money back that was paid on attempting to repair the leak but you need to keep recipt for proof to send in to the manufacture.0
Good Luck... my Commander leaks and I do not have a sunroof. The front driver's floor is soaked after it rains. I know carry a tarp in the back of the car and leave it on the roof when I am not driving it and it's raining. It is the only way that I can keep the car from rotting away and having all these electrical problems that I have read about. I washed my car w/a hose the other day and the floor was dry. It doesn't come in that much when I am driving it on a rainy day. If it rains while parked...the floor is soaking wet. I am so sick of it... everyone drives by and wonders why this car always has a bright blue tarp over the front driver's window. I had a Jeep Laredo before and wish I purchased another one. This Commander issue should be have a recall or Jeep will be loosing their customers. So if anyone else has a solution or has been able to fix the problem on a Commander w/no sunroof, please post something for all of us who are miserable and hate rain!!!!!0
abmonty Posts: 1I own a 2006 Jeep Commander and for the first 65,000 miles have had few significant issues with it. The two prior issues I did have were related to a vehicle diagnosis issue (Self-diagnosis cluster on the dash randomly came on during operation and went wild, but eventually stopped) that was eventually traced to a fault in the ignition switch and an unexpected engine shut off that was eventually traced to a faulty cargo door short circuit.
In Dec 2010 I experienced water (lots of it) accumulated in the drivers side foot well. This fault was diagnosed as stemming from clogged drain tubes. Tubes were replaced with oversized tubes by my dealer, carpets and padding dried and I was told the problems was corrected. (Never believe your dealer no matter how well you think of him/her and mines been great till now.)
In June I experience water staining on the head liner above the driver and along the edge of the moon roof (left corner). I showed it to my dealer and added it to my service appointment for checkout and repair. Before that appointment happened we had a rain storm and BOTH the driver side and passenger side foot wells filled with water. So much water that it was above evident above the carpet. Again the dealer so show them the magnitude of the leak as an aid to diagnosis and repair and to find out why a problem that had been fixed six month earlier had re appeared only worse.
During my service appointment the liner was removed and it was determined that the drain tubes were clogged (AGAIN??) This I had difficulty understanding since during the first 4.5 years of ownership I had not one leak and that in the 5th year it happened twice.
Here it got interesting - I was told (dealership) that they could find no source of the leak, no gaskets were cracked/dry rotted etc nor did it appear that the adjustment of the sun/moon roof glass to the roof gaskets were excessive. In fact I was told JEEP DESIGNED THE SUN/MOON ROOF TO LEAK and that it was performing as designed - LEAKING.
Remember I said in the first 65,000 miles not one leak now twice it's leaked. My dealers explanation didn't pass the common sense test and I've challenged it all the way to Jeep Engineering - who according to their design department did not design the moon/sun roof glass to leak though seepage of water could be expected, but not in amounts that would fill both the drivers and passenger side foot wells with substantial water as I was/am experiencing.
I see lots of folks have had similar issues with the Commander leaking and I was wondering if anyone was able to resolve the problem to the point it didn't re-occur short of buying a Ford, GMC, Subaru etc.
Another interesting point the leak seems to appear only when the vehicle is sitting/parked. I've not seen the problem manifest itself when driving.
My dealer suggest parking the JEEP in my garage or in a car port or under a tarp when not in use and bad weather is imminent.
Anyone want to offer some suggestions on how I might fix the problem or where I should look find the leak???0
coolblue06 Posts: 1I had the same problem, only leaking when parked, passenger side only. Still under warranty, I took it in and they determined there was a faulty seal, gasket around the screw that attached the handle on the passenger side in front of the door (just to the right of the windshield). Once they replaced it there were no more problems w/ the leak. Hope this helps...0
edsmum Posts: 1Hi:
I have a Jeep Commander 2007 that I purchased four years ago from the dealership. Last summer during heavy rain water began leaking from the black box located behind the rearview mirror and on the passenger side floor. I took it to the dealership and they said the tubing from the sunroof is clogged and needs replacing. We let them replace it and the leak in the passenger floor stopped but water continues to leak from the black box located behind the rearview mirror. I took it to a different dealership and they said they poured water on the roof and did not see any leakage and I should call Chrysler. I called Chrysler and they said they do not know anything about Commander and I need to talk to the Dealership!
I would like to know if anyone has dealt with a problem like this and if anyone has suggestions on how to deal with this problem and also do you know a mechanic that is familiar with Jeep Commanders?0
jaclyn57 Posts: 1Wow so many jeeps so many leaks. I bought a used 2006 fully loaded jeep commander with all the bells and whistles and I a sitting ankle deep in water on the passanger side and when I turn I hear all the water inside. It leaks when it rains and its so frusrating because the mold smell is horrible and knats and insects breed in my jeep. I know now why someone traded it in. Its so sad because I live always concerned about the weather. I didnt buy the warrenty (shame on me) and the dealer wants to charge me some astronomical price just to look at it. Help if there is a class action suit I'm in0
I know exactly how you feel. I just bought my 2008 six months ago and I am constantly checking the weather out. I had my husband build me a little carport to put the jeep under because I literally get sick to my stomach when the car is out in the rain. The floor is soaked on the driver's side. I could have bought a brand new Jeep Liberty for what I paid for this 3 year old Commander. I really hate to say it. I just may trade it in for the Liberty. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and put 300 miles on it before the trans. went. I love Jeeps, but this Commandore should be recalled!!!! If anyone hears of a recall, pls. contact me.0
Have you had this problem since your April 2011 posting? This solution worked for me too last spring. I had the puddling/leaking Again these past 2 weeks & had the repair shop duplicate that solution but this time it's not working for me. If you had to go another route after this initial fix please let me know.
Thdnk you.0
I have the same problem w/water and my Commander does not have a sunroof. It's really a shame that Jeep doesn't do a thing about this when there are so many Commander owners who have the same problem!0
I had no idea so many other people were having problems with their Jeep Commander water leaks. My wife's car was in the shop and she was driving it and it rained. She got off work and 3 inches of rain was on the driver's side. Now she thinks I'm a fool for keeping this car. My leaks are so bad it got in the speakers and the radio is mute just like another Jeep Commander owner.
I think we should start a group to get the design problems fixed.
Does anyone have the check gas cap warning as well?
I have the following problems:
Check Gas Cap Warning
Driver's Side Leaks
Mute Radio
I have seen other people report the same problems. We deserve to get these
problems fixed. The Commander was supposed to have the Jeep quality behind it but the model has numerous problems. Is there any wonder why Jeep discontinued making a Commander.
Thanks for any response and if anyone has any ideas how we can get the problems addressed, let me know.0
I second bringing a lawsuit to have the Jeep Commanders recalled to
fix this problem. I think 100% of the Commanders leak. See my
post. I have a few other common problems as well.
I will start contacting people if we get enough support.1
Pls.... we do need a lawsuit. It is ridiculous. We had rain two days ago and my car mats are in the house still drying! Apple had a problem w/the cords on the their Macintosh laptops. I was going crazy replacing them; this was going on for years. People were online complaining just like we are about our Commanders. Well, Apple listened and did something. They sent us a postcard and I headed to an Apple store w/three bad power cords. In a few minutes I walked out with three brand new cords that are awesome! I will buy Apple computers forever, but Jeep...shame on you!!! Do something about this problem or those of us who have always have Jeeps will go elsewhere for our vehicles! I actually have a huge tarp that goes over the car anytime I hear it is going to rain. I have gone out at 2 am when I hear rain to cover it. Why... because after it gets wet too many times, the radio and all the electronics are going to go...just wait. So get big tarps before you have big problems!!! JEEPERS, CAN'T YOU FIX THIS PROBLEM and help us out here!!!!0
Thanks for posting a message. I can't believe this major leaking problem has not been addressed by Chrysler. My radio is already gone. We have
to find the best two advocates to get this problem addressed and all Jeepers have to contact the advocate. We shouldn't have to keep a
tarp in the car to prevent leaking. Jeep should send us a tarp. They
haven't even admitted to the problem. I have a "Check Gas Cap" problem
as well. This is another common problem.0
I may start filing a consumer complaint with the State of Maryland. It may not go far but
it may give me practice of filing future complaints. Any Jeepers in Maryland please
file a complaint too.0
Below is customer complaint for a Jeep Commander. The leaking problem is a more a common problem and the problem may be not a safety issue. However, it is definitely an annoying problem and for people who also lost there radio, it is definitely a problem that can get worse. Below is what he did to get reimbursed for one repair. We should be able to get a recall for this leaking problem. It is definitely a design flaw and should be addressed by Chrysler. I am going to file complaints like this customer did. If any other Jeepers that have a leaking problem would like to file complaints, we may be able to get the attention of someone.
I am submitting this because I do not know in what direction to turn. Purchased a
2008 Jeep Commander on October 3, 2008. I average approx. 100 miles a day,
due to the requirements of my employment. Currently there are 46, 000 miles on my
Commander. I first began to encounter problems with the vehicle around 42, 000 miles.
Engaging the key, there was a slight hesitation of 1-3 seconds prior to the engine
'turning over'. This gradually began to progress to 5-10 seconds. It got to a point
in which if I drove it, it would not start until it sat idle for at least
8-10 hours. Eventually it would not start at all. Contacted Chrysler Jeep and was told
that towing would be offered at cost to the consumer, since it was past the
36, 000 mile limit. My insurance company, Safeco, indicated that I had towing on
my policy, but it could only tow to a certified Chrysler Jeep dealership within a
15 mile towing radius. It was subsequently towed to the Thompson dealership
since it matched the criteria. The problem was diagnosed as being the wireless
ignition module. I was charged $487.33, invoice #184536.
The vehicle ran good for 2 weeks then began to exhibit the same problems.
It eventually gave out. I started the vehicle and drove it to the Thompson
dealership. It broke down there. After 'jiggling' the key it started
and the service advisor, Richard Norwood, drove me home. This occured
on June 9. On June 14, I was informed, that they could not find the cause of
the problem. It should be pointed out here, that my initial request was that if
I was going to have a high end repair to notify me prior, invoice # 186245
I began to go online and found out the commonality of problems encountered
by 2008 Jeep owners and was shocked. A recall of front control modules
was often cited. Including the tendency for the vehicle to stall while driving:
Contacted the lemon law attorney's but they would not accept because it
was over the 36, 000 mile limit. Contacted the Maryland State Attorney
General's office and was transferred to the Consumer Protection Division.
Submitted a formal complaint, but was notified it would take 4-6 weeks
inorder for the division to respond. At this point I was informed
that they could only act as a mediator.
I next contacted the National Highway Transportation and Safety Administration.
The procedure was duplicated. Submitted a complaint with a response time of
4-6 weeks.
I have a vehicle sitting in front of my place of residence. No one knows
what's wrong with the thing. Spoke with the actual mechanic doing the repairs.
RealIy cordial and knowledgable. Says that he has worked on the vehicle on his
own time, without pay. Says that he can run more extensive tests which
would be costly and may not still yield favorable results. At best he will trouble
shoot or trial and error. I contend the problems are the result of faulty
manufacturing. In some Jeeps it was found that Chrysler installed faulty
Mitsubishi starters.
Need to emphasize, Thompson Chrysler Jeep and the service advisor,
Richard Norwood, as well as the mechanic have been superb. They are the
only bright spots out of the whole ordeal. Couldn't have a more professional
group of people representing the Chrysler logo.
Was assigned a Chrysler case manager, Andrew AP-516. Initially they denied
culpability. Stating that my vehicle, alhough exhibiting the same problems of the
1338 recalled vehicles, that it was not within the recall group.
After informing them of my consumer options they agreed that since
the module was under warranty, they would re-imburse me. His solution was
to get a second opinion. I asked, 'from who?' If a certified dealership did not
know the answers, who would. What were the logistics involved?
Was I to tow the car from dealership to dealership at my expense?
He said a member of their response team was to get back with me by
June 16, it never happened. I called back the subsequent week and he was
totally oblivious to the specifics of my case. He repeated that I needed to get a
second opinion. It was at that time I requested another case manager.
Was given an equally inept case worker, Kristy, KF-223. She prompted the same
response as the previous case worker but with a twist. The area district manager was
to get in touch with me not later that June 29.
To Chrylser's defense. they did offer to re-imburse me for the front control module
repairs. Have to submitt my original repair documents and a determination then
has to be made.
I have a potential death trap. As with Toyota, need to know how many people
will needlessly have to be injured or killed before a class action suite will be
initiated. The problems of the 2008 Jeep Commander are extensive, and these
have been well documented by its owners. What does Chrysler know about the
flawed electrical design of the Commanders and when did they know it.
Are we on the precipice of a class action suite against Chrysler.
I would immagine after they defaulted in the repayment of the
7-billion dollar bailout, Chrysler would be more proactive towards addressing
the safety and concerns of the consumer.
My vehicle has been sitting idle for over a month.

jmtz2012 Posts: 1I'm considering now because of the size of the commander purchasing one... or rather I was considering it. I'm scared now to drive 3 hours to see one that might cause problems in the future. I'm disappointed because its been a vehicle I've wanted for some time and upon stumbling onto this page I am unsure of what action to take. Purchase it for its size and prepare myself with a tarp or consider another vehicle? Help!0
I'm not sure if they all leak or just some leak but it is a major problem. Unless you think it is a deal you can't refuse, I wouldn't suggest buying one. It is the worse vehicle I have ever owned. The only credit I would
give this vehicle is that I never had any engine or transmission problems
and it has $84,000 mile on it. There are alot of cars out on the road and
I would put the Jeep Commander at the bottom of the list.0
jdaughtr Posts: 1We took a 06 Commander in last week with the wet drivers' side floorboard problem. We checked the windshield carefully, and then drivers door moldings and then blew out the drains for the sun roof.
It still leaked down through the drivers' side drain line area of the sun roof.
We finally found the problem by dropping the head liner down and using an inspection mirror with a flash light. We disconnected the drain line and plugged the nipple opening and poured a small amount of water into the sun roof pan and located a hole in the drain pan just above where the nipple is formed for the drivers' side sun roof drain line.
We could not see the actual leak source without the mirror and flashlight, as it was on the interior side seam facing away from the drivers' door opening.
Since carefully sealing the drain pan seam just a 1/4 above the drain hose nipple on the interior side, slightly above where the drain hose connects, the problem appears to be solved.
It appears to be a manufacturing defect in the plastic seam in my opinion.
I hope this helps others with similar Jeep Commander water leaks on the drivers' side.

angiern Posts: 1I am frustrated. I bought my 2006 Jeep Commander brand new! I have taken it to the body shop 3 times, etc., and it still leaks. My fix-all was to put simple carpenter's putty on the sunroof and edges on the roof. This is an ugly, temporary fix, but it stopped the leaks. I have proof, and am willing to participate in ANY type of lawsuit.
Let me tell you how I found this website: Someone saw me parked at a store, she was driving a 2006 Limited Edition, as well. She saw my putty and offered me some advice...then she told me of this site.
This is RIDICULOUS! How many of us are out there? Where are you Chrysler? Do you even care? I'm not being sarcastic...just tired of getting wet. My sticker price was $38,650.0
Thank you for posting. this is my exact experience. Exact. We even had one of the same case manager's, i.e., Kristy. None are ever aware of the prior case manager's conversation with me, and, more: they are never aware of the TSBs convering my complaints. I have to listen to them say that there are none until i tell them the numbers of the TSBs and offer to fax them copies.
My Jeep Commander had been sitting now for over one month. I decided to move it this evening and opened the sunroof which then would not close. I had to turn the Commander off, on, off and on again before the sunroof would close again; worrying that this is related to the electrical problem of park assist turning off by itself, cruise control turning on by itself, dash board blinking, and navigation screen and bottow row buttons ceasing to work within a few minutes of car running.0
sshafranko Posts: 1Our 2006 Commander which we bought brand new for $36,000 has had or is currently having the following problems with 37,000miles on the clock:-) Water puddling on driver side floor- I pulled up the carpet and found that the sunroof drain hose is too short and pulls out of the floor and fills the truck(lol...how stupid are these people?), water leaking into the driver side rear quarter panel where the factory radio amplifier is located which intern shorted out from the water and the radio does not work anymore, intermittent running rough, gas cap loose warning message, replaced two starters, water pools in the front doors, passanger side window automatically goes down by it self, front rotors prematurely failed, front shocks and tires prematurely failed, driver side seat motors are not operating anymore, I tested the motors and they are fine, it is probably a relay or something electrical which got wet from the pooling water on the floor.... I can't go on any more because I'm starting to get very angry and I don't want to ruin my day...but I will leave you with this.... the dealers will pretend that they don't know what you are talking about you are the only case and you caused all of this as they told us at Teterboro nj jeep...Jeep is very well aware of these issues and will cover their tracks as best they can....good luck getting any government agency involved without making any substantial donation to whoever is in charge of the buracracy you are calling...the best way to hurt these scumbags in my opinion is to never buy their product again and spread the word as wide and as far as you can...just think we gave them a ton of money for a crap product and on top of that we bailed them out of bankruptcy with our money again, and they can't lend us a hand? What does that tell you about them?
I couldn't say it better myself. I have a 2008 commander that has exactly
the same problems. There is a lot of commanders made from 2006 through 2008 that we have to find a law firm to file a class action suit on behalf of all the Commander owners. Someone
forwarded me a name a firm and I went to the website of the law firm and
sent them an email. I haven't heard from the law firm yet.
My jeep won't pass the Maryland emmissions test because of the gas
cap warning. I will forward the name of the law firm I emailed. It was
on this site that I got the name so maybe you can see it.
Thanks for taking the time to write your story. I hope we can get our
Jeeps fixed.0
I went through this with attorney over the throughout the last month and, short of the long: you have to wait until someone, unfortunately, loses life or limb, they sue/their estate sues Jeep Chrysler, and then we file a class action on the coat-tails of that suit, i.e., without loss of life or limb the class action won't be worth our time/money.
that said: keep posting experiences with these Jeep Commanders AND Chrysler Corporate's lack of sufficient reply so that if/when that time comes, we are totally prepared. Also, by posting, we give Jeep Chrysler the chance to do the right thing BEFORE it becomes a life or limb suit.0
edbone Posts: 2I have a 2008 Commander Limited (Hemi) and had the same leaking problem as everyone else. Living in Southern California, where it never rains, you could imaging how long it took to find this leak. Our head liner has been replaced 2X in 2 years and was told the drain tubes for the sunroof get clogged. Lucky for me, we were still under warranty. The solution from the dealer was, "Don't drive in the rain and keep it garaged!"
This is bitter / sweet! Sorry we are all going through this horrific problem, especially after paying 40K + for a vehicle, but I'm so glad we all have this same problem. With numbers, we could make a stance and hopefully rectify the problem for good.
I read in this blog, an attorney said nothing could be done unless someone losses life or limb. Sounds to me like a personal injury attorney who wants the big bucks. I disagree, I am sure :lemon: laws may apply here. We all want our investment (vehicle) fixed, not to get rich.
WSWIG, count me in on the lawsuit. keep in touch, [email protected]0

Marrakech Gucci Handbags: No Hassles, Just Tassels!Categories:Other Brands Gucci handbags like the Marrakech have it all – urban style with a rustic twist. These gorgeous bags have flare to spare!
I'm from the mid-west, and even though I've lived in the city since I was a teenager I'm still a country girl at heart. So when I first laid eyes on these Marrakech Gucci handbags it was like I'd discovered a bag that represents me perfectly! Don't get me wrong, this bag is very modern and very urban, but those gorgeous tassels add just a little bit of cowgirl charm to make this bag truly something special.
Replica Gucci Marrakech Handbag
Unlike a lot of flap bags, the Marrakech's flap extends all the way down to its base, where the leather strap closure extends underneath and fastens on the other side. It also features three collapsing interior sections with a white textile lining that is so soft, you just need to feel it to believe it!
The best part? Now you can get these Gucci handbags without breaking the bank, thanks to these lovely replica handbags here, at Club Couture. A friend of mine just got hers and she adores it, which is saying a lot because she is very picky about replica handbags!
So check out these lovely bags! Whether you're a city girl or a country bumpkin (or somewhere in between), they have something for everyone.

Daren Ruffin had been home from jail for only about a week before he found himself in custody again.
The charge was the same: second-degree assault, after his wife told Baltimore police that Ruffin beat her. But instead of spending a month in jail in lieu of bail, as he had before, Ruffin was released the next day on his own recognizance and ordered to stay away from his wife, Melissa Davis.
Hours later, he was charged with first-degree murder. Police found Davis stabbed to death in the couple's apartment last Friday and say Ruffin confessed to the crime. He is being held without bail in the Baltimore City Detention Center. He has no lawyer listed in state court records and family members could not be reached.
Ruffin had been arrested six times in as many months — four times in Massachusetts and twice in Maryland — on charges that he hurt his wife. In the first Maryland case, Ruffin was cleared when Davis refused to testify against him.
The allegations highlight some of the legal system's challenges in protecting victims of domestic abuse, many of whom are unwilling to come forward or testify in court. Police say they are often hamstrung in their efforts to help victims.
But Davis' family is furious at the most recent decision to let Ruffin out, arguing the courts should have recognized a pattern in the accusations of violent behavior.
"I am so angry about that," said Davis' mother, Brenda Ballard. "They have his rap sheet right there. Why do you let him out?"
Eric Gooden, the court commissioner who released Ruffin without bail, left his job Wednesday. Court officials would not discuss the circumstances of his departure and had no comment on his role in releasing Ruffin. Gooden could not be reached.
Lt. Rhonda McCoy, who runs the intimate partner and elderly abuse unit for Baltimore police, said authorities often find their options limited as they seek to stop a cycle of domestic violence.
"There's not much the system could do," she said. McCoy noted that Davis had previously refused to testify against her husband, resulting in a not-guilty verdict in the prior assault case. There are some victims who just don't want to see their significant others charged, McCoy said, even when police intervene.
Ruffin, 47, and Davis, 44, married in June 2012 and lived in Massachusetts before moving to Baltimore in November, according to family members.
Police in Chelsea, Mass., the suburb of Boston where the couple previously lived, said Ruffin was arrested four times for assaulting Davis between August and early November. Massachusetts limits the public disclosure of court files, and the outcome of the arrests was not available.
His record also includes a year and six months spent in North Carolina jail from March 2008 to August 2009 for an attempted assault with a deadly weapon conviction. In the 1990s, Ruffin was incarcerated in North Carolina for assault on another woman.
In early December, Ruffin was charged with second-degree assault after Davis wound up in a hospital with injuries to her upper lip, ribs and arm, telling Baltimore police that Ruffin beat her.
A court commissioner noted the violent nature of the assault, and Ruffin was held in the city jail in lieu of $35,000 bail. Ruffin was found not guilty after Davis invoked marital privilege and declined to testify against him during his Jan. 8 trial.
On Jan. 17, Ruffin was arrested and charged with assault again. This time, Davis' injuries were less serious.
Ruffin appeared in court Friday morning and was released on the condition that he have no contact with Davis.
About midnight Friday, police found Davis fatally stabbed in the couple's apartment in the 300 block of E. North Ave. On Saturday morning, Ruffin confessed to stabbing Davis with "a large chef-style knife," according to police.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi compared Davis' case to that of Veronica Williams. In 2008, Williams requested a protective order against her husband, Cleaven Williams, but did not fully detail years of abuse or say that she feared for her immediate safety. Williams was stabbed by her husband as she left the courthouse with the protective order and later died of her injuries.
Guglielmi said Williams' murder showed the Baltimore Police Department it needed to be "as proactive as possible" in reaching out to victims of domestic violence.
That means making sure victims understand all their options, McCoy said. Even if someone has been arrested or a protective order has been issued, a victim might still want to stay with a relative or seek shelter at place like the House of Ruth in Baltimore.
Julie Drake, a University of Maryland, Baltimore professor and the former head of the family violence division in the city state's attorney's office, said she and the city Police Department are working on a pilot program through which students reach out to victims of domestic violence.
Drake, who teaches at UMB's School of Social Work, said the services offered to victims would include crisis counseling, safety planning and evaluating each case on a scale to determine how likely a victim is to be killed by their partner.
"If we want to save the lives of victims of domestic violence, it is imperative that we provide services to the victim as quickly as possible," she said.
Daren Ruffin had been home from jail for only about a week before he found himself in custody again.

AAA, formerly the American Automobile Association, has warned that filling gas tanks with a blend of 15 percent ethanol could damage cars and void warranties. This follows 12 carmakers announcing that using the new "E15" blend may either void warranties or that warranties may not cover fuel-related claims.
AAA, acting on behalf of its 50 million members, has called for the federal Environmental Protection Agency to temporarily halt sales of the fuel to reevaluate its potential harm. We agree.
In addition, ethanol, which is manufactured from grain such as corn, produces questionable, if any, fuel economy benefits. Moreover, the government subsidies and mandates that pave the way for its entry into the market appear to benefit corn growers and ethanol manufacturers more than consumers and the environment.
As with other government intrusions into the free market, the EPA's ethanol love affair distorts supply and demand. If the fuel were beneficial enough on its own, the market would respond. But even in the Midwest, where E15 is more available, sales have not taken off, according to industry observer Dennis Simanaitis, a former Road and Track editor.
Gasoline with a 10 percent mixture of ethanol already constitutes 90 percent of the U.S. market, following government approval decades ago. But in June, the EPA approved the sale of the higher percentage mixture, despite cautions from automakers who cited potential damage to vehicles.
Private sector resistance has not dissuaded the EPA, which also doesn't appear to be acting on behalf of motorists, as is the AAA, a federation of 51 independently operated motor clubs. Ethanol was advanced ostensibly as a more environmentally friendly option to 100 percent gasoline. Even that claim by the government has been challenged.
In 2006, John A. Baden, chairman of the Foundation for Research on Economics and the Environment, argued that ethanol consumes more resources than it saves. That year, Consumer Reports tests using a Chevrolet Tahoe found that an 85-15 blend of gasoline and ethanol decreased, rather than increased, mileage – from 21 mpg highway to 15, and from 9 mpg to 7 in city driving. A later University of Minnesota study found that corn ethanol may be as harmful as gasoline, and an even worse health threat.
BMW, Chrysler, Nissan Motor Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and Volkswagen say their warranties will not cover fuel-related claims caused by the use of E15. Ford Motor Co., Honda Motor Co., Hyundai Motor Co., Kia Motors Corp., Mazda Motor Corp., Mercedes-Benz and Volvo said E15 may void their warranties.
Perhaps most troubling is that AAA says 95 percent of U.S. consumers have not even heard of E15, and only 5 percent of cars on the road can use it without risk of damage. The possibility of E15 use in older cars, more likely to be harmed, is an unnecessary risk, not in the public's interest.
We agree with the AAA's call for pulling E15 off the market until its consequences are better understood. In the meantime, the EPA also should reassess the entire ethanol fuel issue, which likely would not be viable without government mandates for increasing use of so-called renewable fuels and manufacturing subsidies.

BEDMINSTER, NJ ( TheStreet) --Another month of FDA Orange Book updates, another non-decision on the New Chemical Entity (NCE) market exclusivity for Amarin's ( AMRN - Get Report) prescription fish-oil pill Vascepa. The disclosure of another NCE delay Friday (this is number four since FDA approved Vascepa in July) moves Amarin closer to its own fiscal cliff -- the forced launch of the drug without a Big Pharma partner. Amarin spokespersons did not return phone calls seeking comment. Amarin shares closed Friday down 4% to $10.84. On its last conference call, Amarin said a decision to hire a Vascepa sales force would be made in the second half of November. Amarin was clearly waiting and hoping for an affirmative decision Friday from FDA that Vascepa is chemically distinct from GlaxoSmithKline's ( GSK - Get Report) Lovaza. The five years of market exclusivity that comes with NCE status might have helped Amarin land a Big Pharma marketing partner for Vascepa and avoid the need to launch the drug on its own. "Regarding opportunities with large pharma companies, the uncertainty around our pending regulatory exclusivity request has presented a challenge in our discussions," said Amarin CEO Joe Zakrzewski on an investor conference call Nov. 8. But with Friday's non-decision on Vascepa in hand and the Thanksgiving holiday coming up next week, Amarin must start hiring its own sales reps soon or risk delaying the drug's launch expected in the first quarter 2013. Launching Vascepa on its own is the most expensive and riskiest of three commercial options being pursued by Amarin. The company's stock price has already fallen by 30% since Vascepa's approval on July 26. The disclosure of a solo launch is likely to send Amarin's stock price even lower. Amarin's CEO Zakrzewski knows his stock price will fall if he fails to land a marketing partner or a suitor for the company. He tried to prep investors for the bad news on the Nov. 8 conference call: "I don't think anyone should think that once you build the sales force and you're launching yourself that you've eliminated the two other options," he said. Plenty of unsubstantiated rumors have been aired linking Amarin with potential suitors, including AstraZeneca ( AZN - Get Report) and Teva ( TEVA - Get Report), most recently. But right now, Amarin is alone, and by the company's own admission, the lack of a Vascepa NCE decision makes any deal unlikely. Amarin ended the September quarter with $215 million but quarterly operating losses of $34 million will only grow larger as the company staffs up to sell Vascepa. Amarin will have to raise more money to launch the drug effectively, if it can do that at all against a deep-pocketed competitor like GlaxoSmithKline. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston.

John McGlade is the Chairman, President and CEO of the global gases and chemicals company, Air Products. Previously, he was named the CEO Champion of the Year by SkillsUSA for his leadership in supporting America's highly-skilled workforce and promoting Career Technical Education. John also serves on the Board of Directors of the American Chemistry Council and the Executive Committee of the Council on Competitiveness.
Growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, I spent a good amount of my formative high school years at my local Career Technical Education (CTE) – then called vocational education — school. Now, as president and CEO of a global company, I can testify first hand to how CTE can help equip students with the skills and knowledge to succeed in their careers. Moreover, CTE has since evolved, proving to be as dynamic and innovative as the economy for which it is preparing students.
In fact, I believe that CTE can be a source of competitive advantage for the United States, by rebuilding a skilled workforce better trained than ever to compete in the global marketplace.
Demand and supply gap
We know that more scientists and engineers are needed to support the United States economy, but a broader look must be given to the overall demand for skilled workers.
- Skilled, technical positions will represent the largest number of total openings in the United States in the next five years.
- Almost 10 million new, skilled workers will be needed by 2020, according to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Air Products employs about 7,500 people in the United States.
- Over 50 percent of those people are skilled workers, including plant operators, drivers, mechanics and maintenance techs.
- We hire approximately 550 new employees in the United States each year and around 90 percent require technical skills.
There is a mismatch between the demand and supply of skilled workers. Work opportunities exist, but sometimes it is difficult to find people to fill those jobs. Air Products has openings, but we can't always find people with the right skills in the right locations. This situation contributes to the national unemployment rate of over 8 percent.
Creating a new technology workforce
Filling the skills gap will require higher expectations and greater investment in education and job training. Technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace. We need technicians that are not just mechanically trained, but who can operate electronic control systems and sophisticated, predictive maintenance technologies.
That means government must provide more support for CTE, directing additional funding so that schools, community colleges and technical schools can continue their great work and strengthen and expand quality CTE programs.
Our nation's future
I cannot stress enough the importance of CTE to the U.S. economy. Not only do CTE programs help the new generation of workers with developing technical skills, they create well-rounded employees with 21st century employability skills — problem-solving, teamwork and leadership — to help them grow and succeed throughout the lifetime of their entire career.
Industries are eager to collaborate with schools and colleges that help foster the workforce of our next generation. We realize that we must develop strategic partnerships between industry and education to bring the best thinking and most current learning experiences to schools and colleges. In doing so, we can create future career opportunities for millions of Americans.
How Can You Get Involved?
The Friends of CTE Guest Blog Series provides advocates – from business and industry, to researchers and organizations – an opportunity to articulate their support for Career Technical Education. The monthly series features a guest blogger who provides their perspective on and experience with CTE as it relates to policy, the economy and education.

I've watched a number of Quintana's starts, I am telling you, based on what I've seen from him, he's a perfectly fine option as a SP for even a good team. I was wary of him when he came up as well, but he's progressively gotten better as he has come along, he's hitting the mid-90s with his fastball now (FanGraphs has his max velocity at 94-95).
Again, you want to disagree with that assessment, that's fine, but people are disagreeing with you based on what we have seen from the guy, not being spoon fed **** by Hawk. We're all amateurs on this board, nobody's opinion is more or less valid than anyone else's, despite what you may think.
You're welcome to have your impression, but my impressions are at least somewhat validated by the resources that are out there. When I get dumped on for it, I start to feel like perhaps people aren't doing their due diligence.
Regardless, I don't think Quintana's going anywhere anytime soon (as, at the very least, scouts are not overly fond of him). So will get to see firsthand what becomes of him.

it has been such an intense match..

shoaib malik

it has been such an intense match..
just wondering which captain did a good job leading thier side??
The best test match ever
Hard to judge. Not sure captaincy plays a big part in T20. Dead even, like the match I suppose.
Malik made some brilliant moves, such as containing Yuvraj with spin and introducing Gul earlier than usual. Dhoni was excellent as well and seems like a motivational captain for his players. Both were great but Lawson may have done his part on the Pakistani side.
Malik IMO. Having one of your strike bowlers bowl all of his overs at the death was a stroke of genius and captains will follow this plan for years to come. The way he shifted things around to contain all the big hitters throughout the tournament makes me want to vote for him.
EDIT: Didn't realize this poll was just for the final. Pretty even then I would say.
Forever 63* at the SCG
Dhoni was impressive in the final. Though bowling Sharma in the final over was a mistake. He was very lucky to get away with it.
Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."
Malik IMO
"When they had a plan for Cooky, I was telling him what they will do."
Moeen Ali helps England out by translating what Pakistan's players say in Urdu and Punjabi on the field.
Dhoni made crucial decsions at the right time....
really liked how he bowled Joginder Sharma and Yusuf pathan to try and get the 5th bowler quoto of overs quickly realising Pakistan will be trying to rebuild again so won't be able to hit them as freely and Younis was struggling to time the ball. It was risky but payed off.
Malik was excellent too bringing on spinner for Yuvi.
I didn't think either captain was particularly impressive TBH. Dhoni brought on Joginder Sharma for that last over and very nearly lost the game, while Malik was just solid throughout the game. One feels that some of Pakistan's more genius moves came from Geoff Lawson, which is understandable. However, I'll vote for Dhoni on the basis of the beleif that he inspired amongst his players.
EDIT: Actually, Dhoni was pretty good. Was very aggressive with his field placings, had slips in play at times when India needed to attack and brought 5 men into the inner ring when they needed to build pressure.

I'll go with Dhoni, marginally. Have been impressed with the way they have both led through the competition, and they were both good in the final.
The Gul move is certainly a premeditated decision and perhaps Lawson had an input over that, I don't know. Malik has led with the bat also and played crucial innings, just like Dhoni.
Dhoni's field placings today were good and aggresive, at times bringing long on and off up to force Pakistan to go over the top if they wanted boundaries (the downfall of Younis Khan). Bowling changes were also generally good. Sharma last over was contentious, but think Misbah may well have got hold of Harbhajan anyhow, after his three sixes in his last over.
I dont think he had any other option. He wanted to give the ball to Harbhajan Singh but Harbhajan was a. Not confident enough to land his yourkers at the right spot b. was hit for 21 runs in his 3rd over.
Irfan, SreeSanth and RP already had finished their quota.Only guy left was Yusuf Pathan who was playing his first Game, must say though he had bowled a tight over earlier. But it was just a toss up between YK Pathan and Sharma.
I can't picture Harbhajan lacking confidence there. As against Australia in the semi-final, he's always seemed a guy who wants the ball in the pressure situations. He had a difficult start to his spell in that match, but recovered supremely in the clutch. I think it was far more a lack of Dhoni's confidence in Harbhajan, than Harbhajan's lack of self-belief.
I'd still have gone with him ahead of Sharma. It's like choosing McGrath (9-0-70-0 or the like) ahead of Mitchell Johnson (9-0-54-2) to bowl the 50th of an ODI. As I said before, Sharma was very lucky to survive that task.
Dhoni for sure
