Nissan Quest/Mercury Villager Starting & Stalling Problems
Before you spend any money google and research 'vapor canister and check valve' for you vehicle. It is something usually neglected that can cause some emission problems. Not sure if that would be the problem but it's something you can look into.0
No, I did not say you have a defective PCV valve which is just one of three places to apply Seafoam, the other two are crankcase and gas tank. This is just general cost effective cleaning of lots of things that could have caused subtle problems.
Last time, my Nissan Quest 94 had similar problem, when I used Engine Restorer, all the bad smells all gone, in addition to have very quiet engine and higher millage ...etc.
If you suspect the evaporative system, it often includes an incorrect or defective gas cap which you said you have replaced but not fixed the problem.
It could also be a sticking open or closed evaporative "canister vent" control valve, or a canister coming apart inside, allowing charcoal to be distributed throughout the evap system - plugging up the evap "canister purge" control valve and the evap "canister purge volume" control valve.
Disconnected, plugged or cracked vacuum lines can also result in evaporative system codes being set.0
lorenajack Posts: 3Lots of good tips from you wonderful fellas!
I will check them all out, and put the additives that are recommended by all.
When I finally get this problem solved, I will post the fix so that others
can benefit from this problem. This 97 Villager has just 87,000 miles on it.
This problem started about maybe 2 years ago or less. Can't remember
for sure.
Thanks again, guys!!0
I often went to Pep Boys, Auto Zone or Advanced Auto Parts to just describe the problem and ask them which additives should be used and how to apply, and you will learn a lot. In many cases, the problem is common to many cars and the solution is unbelievably simple and cost effective.
If you go to auto mechanics first, they may tell you to replace this and that, and that cost a lot and may or may not solve the problem. Auto mechanics is like "surgeon" and "additive" is like "pharmacy". In general, you would consult 3 docotors for 2nd or 3rd opinion before having "surgery", and I do the same for my nissan quest 94 too. However, just like human body, many health problem can be cured by "drug", in the car is "additives".0
A while ago, I finally went to Valvoline drive thru to have my oil and oil filter changed after 3 years, but the problem came because although they used 5w30 Valvoline oil, I forgot to ask them to add Engine Restorer which I had it in last tank of oil
After all these months, my Nissan Quest 94 finally shows some room for my oil crankcase, and I just add a can of Engine Restorer. As planned, I just add the smallest one for 4 cylinder, not 6 cylinder, cheaper and not much room needed.
Wow! I got that magic power immediately back. Engine quiet down, much more power, no noise, no smoke, good smell. I thought it would be good to let everyone know.
Now, I even carry another can of Engine Restorer in my Nissan Quest 94, and whenever I saw old cars on road or parking lot with not so smooth engine, I just introduce this wonderful magic to them.
I even went out of my way to make sure people do not over change their engine oil and filter. e.g. Every time I would ask people for their driver's manual, and I showed them the page where the manual said change oil and oil filter at 15,000 miles, not 3,000 miles. I found myself read so many driver's manuals of all kinds of cars, and, believe or not, NONE says change every 3,000 miles or 3 months, just NONE!!!!0
plui Posts: 5My van ran fine at beginning. It started hesitation and service engine light came on after I ran the vehicle for 5 or 6 miles. I had to keep it running in 20 mile mph to a safe place and remove the negative cable, turn head light on for 10 minutes before I put back the cable. I went on to go home after half hour and the engine cooled down a little bit. I had a mechanic to remove the intake manifold and sprayed the throttle cleaner to housing of throttle, but it won't work. The car is still ran rough after 5 or 6 miles. I replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, rotor, spark plugs already, but the problem is still existed. Please give me an advise.
Kindly Regards,
Peter L0
Have you tried to put a bottle of yellow Heet 12oz into your gas tank Normally, for cars old enough, the gas tank may have accumulated enough water to make your engine hesitate at higher speed, so a dry gas like Heet may works right away.
See if the problem repeats when you "fill up the gas tank" with Top Tier Gas such as Exxon, Mobile, Shell ...etc. The reason is because only exceed certain % of water in your gas tank will cause the problem, such as 4%, and when you fill the gas tank, the % drops, and your van good again. Just "regular gas" will do.
Then, you keep a bottle of dry gas additive such as above mention yell bottle Heet 12oz in your van, and when your gas tank dropped to give you hesitation, you pour the bottle in to remove the water from gas tank.
If yellow bottle Heet 12oz is not powerful enough, you may consider red bottle iso-Heet 12oz which claims to have 5 time more power to remove the water.
Not sure why you remove the negative cable and turn on head light for 10 minutes? But, one thing I often check is if my battery has sufficient voltage, need to have 12.66v, even if you still got 12.30v, that is only 40% electricity left, may be able to crank the engine, but may have problem later such as hesitation when you turn on headlight or turning signal, or even brake at traffic light (at that time, your 3 brake light on consuming already weak electricity)
Your throttle should have been clean enough, other wise, you can not even start your van at the first place. Remember, you need air, gas and electricity to run your van well, and since you could start and run 5 to 6 miles fine, meaning all three were good till then. Air intake often more consistent, but electricity may or may not depending on how much in your battery; that's why I use "electricity charger" to charge my van every morning just like charging cell phone. When I did this initially after winter when my Nissan Quest 94 started having similar problem, it took about 2 hours to charge to good level, then it drops to 1 hour, to 30 minutes, now it often just take 5 minutes; in other words, I now change to charge it every few days, and may be just every weekend. Your auto mechanics replace spark plugs and rotor seemed to because of this suspicion. On the other hand, if your van can drive 5 to 6 miles fine, they should be fine.
So, the only suspect is gas, so your auto mechanics replaced your fuel pump, fuel filter, but, as you know it has nothing to do with that. Just like if you eat something bad with stomach pain, would you go surgeon and replace your stomach? No, you want to go toilet to get all the bad things out asap. In this case, you may have got the water in your gas tank from some very cheap gas station, which is fine usually, but do not get it right before gas station refilled by oil tank truck as the level of gas at reservoir is low and more likely to get water.0
mcmotley2003 Posts: 1you have leaky injectors the vales that seal them internaly when you turn off your vehickle hang open alowing the fule to drip into cylinders causing premature flood out. Run a heavy injector cleaner through the system after aweek the deposits should clear from the injectors and the problem should disapate if not look into replacing various problem injectors, good luck0
On the one hand, your description sounds like the flood issue. On the other hand, may be your battery is weak; how old is the battery?
Always keep in mind, many subtle problems often came from weak battery, so the first thing I did was always "use electric charger" to charge my battery for an hour or two and see the improvement.
If you drive local often (under 10 miles one way) as many people did after Economy problem or van getting older, your van battery may not get fully charged, so it may help to charge a few hours every week or two.
Fuel injector cleaners into gas tank also help; I found it often help injection system consume less electricity and more electricity generated by alternator charged back to battery or for other use such as head lights and brake and brake lights.
I also found Engine Restorer fantastic, when pour into engine oil crankcase, the van immediately powerful, quiet, no odd smell, more mileage and the battery seems to get charged much better ...0
Funny, you're responding to a post from 2008 with an ad for a product I'd never waste a dime on for my '99 Quest.
You must own stock in the company. :P
Steve, visiting host0
Well, it is Christmas Time, and I had nothing to do, and this forum sent me an email, so I just take a look at some old message and problems during cold winter times, and hoping to be able help my wonderful Nissan Quest 94 and others.
Besides, many posting from people with their van problem always start saying they have read all the message but not found the answer to their problem, so I just document something I know and know very well.
Your Nissan Quest 99 is 5 year newer than my 94, and I am very sure you may not have to buy this Engine Restorer if you sold your van before it reach my state; otherwise, if you start using Engine Restorer, just once a year, you may end up keep your van running like mine.
I bought mine brand new and still running every day.
I did not own any stock of the company, just like I post here but I did not own stock of Edmunds. The stock I bought was ALSK because it gave 20% of dividend; however, it dropped its dividend from 21.5 center per quarter to 5 cents, and now I only got 6%.
The good thing is that if I buy more by Dec 28, the ex-dividend date, I would be able to catch that 6% in January just in time. I personally think it is good price because it dropped from $11+ to $3+ just because the CEO wanted to keep more dividend to expand the company, nothing else changed.
I would buy lots of Engine Restorer if for any reason, Walmart dropped the price from $11 to $3, and the more the price drops, the more I will accumulate.
If you look at Corporate USA hog record high cash, they will do lots of M&A; that is Merger and Acquisition and way under priced stocks will be acquired in the near future. Just like many Americans keep lots of cash in hand, what would they buy? I bought 6 dozens of eggs every time supermarket drops the price from $3 to 99 cents, and I feel Engineer Restorer is even better to store.
And I stored lots of Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner and give it out as Christmas gift to young adult to help their used cars. If you buy just one bottle, they charge you $5 to $6 for this $5.25 oz one tank use bottle, so it is about $1 per oz. However, if you buy the 32oz bottle at about $10, the cost drops a lot down to 35 cents per oz. Our Walmart, for some reason do NOT sell this 32oz bottle any more; they are good at making money. But I often go to Peg Boys to buy 128 oz for $32 dollars, the cost down to about 25 cents per oz. Unfortunatly, I never saw this big gallon Lucas in Walmart, and recently Pep Boys often sold out; I am glad I stock enough for another year to come.0
I had a new '82 Tercel that I drove for 17 years and I never put any junk in it either. You don't need to waste money on dubious additives to be able to drive them forever. Since '82, I'm on my 4th car - for two people. Still have two of them.0
So, what did you do to maintain your car? to last for this long?
My Nissan Quest 94 years after I bought new started leaking engine oil and Nissan Dealer want over $1,000 to replace a gasket or some sort. They said the part is very cheap but the labor was very expensive and advised me to leave my van there for a week.
Well, what they told violate two of my principles dealing with auto mechanics:
1. If it is too hard to service and take lots of labor, it often means the car is FINE! Why? If you are auto engineer, you would design "frequently serviced parts" to be easy access and replace. If auto mechanics want to "remove lots of your auto parts", it means either the mechanics LIE wants to rob you or knows little about your car. e.g. Toyota mechanics may not be familiar with Nissan and may take much much longer to just replace your Nissan and cost you double or triple labor, or even more.
2. If auto mechanics want your to leave the car in their garage for extensive time, it often means they do not know how to do and need time to try and error. Sometimes, they want you to feel the job is big and pay more than needed.
Well, I fixed the problem by pouring into my engine crankcase a can of "stop engine oil leak", just a few dollars.
Of course, I agree that you do not need to waste money take Tylenol if you do not catch cold; however, if you do, I may save money. On the other hand, you may never catch cold like myself because I know how to prevent it from happening.0
Nothing special. I change the oil around 7,500 miles, like the manual says, but I've pushed that off a few times, once out to 14,000 miles. The Tercel lived outside in Anchorage all 17 years and it really got ignored. Just sold it because we moved and downsized to one car. It only stranded me one time. Never been stranded in the van.
I buy whatever oil is on sale; usually SuperTech at Walmart and a Fram filter. Replace the air filter every 15,000 miles or so (usually a Fram there too; whatever is cheapest). I used to get Chevron gas a lot but when gas went up I went to the cheapest stuff. Keep good tires on it (I still manage to get more flats than the norm). Wash it maybe once a year.
Over the years, I've had a CV joint go bad, 3 fuel injectors and a sensor replaced (still not sure I trust what the mechanic did on that one), several bulbs, turn signal stalk under warranty, a windshield, two batteries, a rear hub, one set of plugs, wires and distributor, a blower resistor, and a few brakes jobs and one brake fluid flush. I've cleaned my throttle body maybe four times. Ignored the recommendation to change the timing belt at 105k. About $7,000 worth of maintenance all told. Tire were $1,665 of that. Looks like .04 a mile for maintenance.
There's a mechanic posting over in the Right To Repair discussion who recently said that sometimes the fastest way to fix something is to see how the factory built the car around the part and work that way. That may mean simply pulling the engine and transmission as a unit instead of going "by the book".
Stories are legion about how auto engineers didn't take into account maintenance needs. Forget the make/model, but on one rig, you had to jack the motor up a few inches to get enough clearance to remove one of the spark plugs. Wonderful planning.
Thanks for asking.0
Off topic but seventeen years in Anchorage? wow! I watch Alaska State Troopers just to see how people live up there. I wonder how cops drive those Crown Victorias year round, although at one time I saw somebody driving an old Chevette around Juneau, amazing.0
Well, it was actually 20 winters all told. Lots of beaters running around up there. Don't really need AWD or 4WD if you have decent tires and don't go up steep roads or driveways much (I mostly had FWD rigs but the best snow car was a 70ish VW SuperBeetle).
After a decade thawing out in Boise, we landed in the UP of MI on Lake Superior; even more remote than Alaska in some ways, but it's nice being able to hop in the Quest and get to America in a half day instead of taking three or four days just to drive down the Alcan.
Haven't needed them, but at least there is a Nissan dealer sort of near me.0
neoviking Posts: 1Ran out of gas (new vehicle to me, gauge wasn't at the bottom yet). Put gas in. Wouldn't start. Pounded gas tank. Started, ran fine for a couple of weeks, maybe a hundred miles. Stopped at a convenient store for a soda, came out, no start. Walked to an auto parts store next door, bought starter fluid, sprayed it in, engine started and ran until the starter fluid ran out.
Checked fuel pump switch by driver's left knee; was not popped out, but pushed it down to be sure it was properly engaged. Crank, no start.
Had Villager towed home, dropped tank and pulled pump. Bench tested, bad. Put in new pump, checked function: key on, gas squirted out onto the garage floor. Connected hoses, put tank back up. Still, no start. Just for grins, re-tested old pump, and it ran fine. Scary. Identified a ground in the engine compartment with a meter, pulled the coil wire, set it next to the ground, cranked engine in the dark: no spark. Pulled the connector to the distributor, turned key on, checked: one of the wires showed 12 v. Reconnected to the distributor, cranked, no start.
Pulled distributor cap, cranked, watched rotor turn. Replaced cap.
Checked all fuses and relays involved; all good.
Now what? I'm Desperate. I need this van for my business, not to mention that survival itself is a problem in this country without wheels. Does anyone have a clue?0
It sounds your battery may not be good, so you had inconsistent state each and every time you start your van. In general, battery should have 12.66 volt with 6 parts each contribute 2.11 volt. When you measure and has 12 volt, it is less than 30% electricity left. Your gauge was not at bottom, meaning your did not run out of gas, so even if you added gas at the first place, the state of your van not changed.
The battery may have died before, and, once jumped, it needs to take a long way to recover, such as 2 full hour of high way ride without head light on (say, during day time), or get an electric charger to charge over night each weekend for 4 weekends ...etc. Or just replace a new one, or Pep Boys may charge your battery free for you with their higher power charger, faster.0
Btw, to check your fuel pump, just turn the key half will do. In other words, if your fuel line has water and frozen in winter, the fuel may not be able to flow to enable start. What you need to do is turn your key half way before start your engine, and leave it there for a few seconds, and you shall here the homing sounds, that just tells you that your fuel pump is working, no need to go through hard way to check further.
If your fuel line or gas tank has water, which is normal for old cars, you may get a bottle of Heet of 12 oz to put into your gas tank and anti-freeze the water and get out the water of your fuel line and gas tank.
My Nissan Quest 94 had problem the other day when it went down to 9 degrees, and I pour in a bottle of 12 oz iso-Heet (5 times more powerful than yellow bottle) and it runs fine right away.0
My van has always ran great. I guess im lucky. Aa few weeks ago I noticed there was a slight hesitation thenall of a sudden it started to almost die at lights would studder or hesitate. I replaced fuel filter seem to help somebut still have miss in it.
I then changed cap and rotor and plugs. I took it to parts store ran test I had no engine light come on and it said knock sensor was only code.i was a it was running alittle funny but was still driveable. The next day I stopped and put gss in and drove 200 feet and it died in intersection it always starts right up. Made it up street to friends house and parked sence I had done every thing else I thought it was fuel pump.cause when it was running fuff where I parked my friend got out a baseball bat and hit the gas tank it seemed to run better . I shut it off and restarted it it ran bad repeated the baseball bat test it seem to smothe out. So I pulled the tank out and changed fuel pump.it seems to run fine for a few minutes as soon as I left to drive home it started not started missing again and stuttering.made it back to friends house and park itthat was for the night Monday morning I took it to the dealerand they said that that alpha code or something said it was running rich. I do have aexhsust leak where the back manifold goes in to that flex line over trany. They want to charge me 8oo to fix. Thats before they try something else.they couldnt tell me what was the problem. Said maybe o2 or Maf but didnt know for shure. I dont wsnt to give them the ok to just start throwing parts at it hoping some thing will work any help would be appreciated.0

We have a 1996 Nissan Quest - but only 72000 miles (we bought it from our daughters' 90 year old piano teacher who only used it for camping trips with 45K miles 3 years ago) I have an intermittent stalling problem. Only at low speed, sometimes going up hill or into a turn, but it's also happened going straight on, I get a compete loss of power. Still have steering, (not power) so I wrestle the beast over, and it restarts right away. No check engine light. This has happened about 6 times. Not low gas level, usually 1/2 + tank.0
Any codes?0

Facebook has agreed to pay Menlo Park $1.5 million over the next 10 years as part of a deal to expand into a "West Campus" across Bayfront Expressway from its headquarters.
Under terms of an agreement that goes to the Menlo Park City Council on Tuesday, the social network company also would contribute $100,000 for local improvements and restrict the number of vehicles going in and out of the new campus.
Facebook moved from Palo Alto to the former Sun Microsystems campus just east of the Bayfront Expressway-Willow Road intersection in mid-2011 and now is preparing to build a new facility designed by celebrated architect Frank Gehry on a 22-acre parcel at the former Tyco Electronics site.
The proposed agreement also guarantees that Facebook would deliver on some of the commitments it made to the city in early 2012, should it decide to vacate its current headquarters, known as the East Campus, after opening the new buildings. Among other things, Facebook had agreed to pay the city $15.1 million over 15 years in exchange for permission to accommodate up to 6,600 employees there.
Even if Facebook eventually abandons its current headquarters, the latest agreement would hold it to a $500,000 contribution to a local charity fund (the company recently decided to kick in an additional $100,000); set up a job-training program; help fill Menlo Park's gap in the region's Bay Trail project; and establish a local environmental education program.
A design for the new West Campus, unveiled in August, shows a long, single-story building that encompasses about 10 acres and has a roof covered with trees. The building would connect with Facebook's East Campus via an underground tunnel. The company said it plans to put about 2,800 employees on the West Campus.
In addition to the proposed development agreement, a letter to the city from John Tenanes, Facebook's global real estate director, notes that the company is also providing $4.5 million in below-market-rate housing fees, $1.3 million in a traffic impact fee and $1.1 million for a street repair fee.
The West Campus project will "redevelop a long-idle site through the construction of a truly iconic, cutting edge, sustainable building, designed by world famous architect Frank Gehry," Tenanes wrote.
Approval of the new campus entails rezoning the site, allowing the removal of some heritage trees and signing off an addendum to an environmental impact report already approved for the second site before a new building design is announced, according to a staff memo.
The project itself goes before the planning commission on Feb. 25 and then to the council on March 19, according to the memo.

Mark Cavendish today won his third stage of this year's Tour de France, but lost a valuable HTC-Columbia teammate in the process.
Race organizers disqualified Australian Mark Renshaw after he head-butted Garmin-Transitions' rider Julian Dean three times during last 200 meters of Stage 11's wild sprint finish.
"Renshaw is out. We watched the film once and it was blatant. He head-butted Dean like in a keirin race," said race director Jean-François Pescheux, referring to a track cycling event in which a pack of riders sprints for the finish.
IN PICTURES: Scenes from the 2010 Tour de France
After the head-butts, Renshaw came off of his line and forced another Garmin-Transitions' cyclist, sprinter Tyler Farrar, into the barriers lining the course as Cavendish pushed ahead to the finish line.
"It's not normal – he lets [Cavendish] off and then tries to crash everyone," Farrar said, sitting on his bike after the race. "I'm all for riding fast sprints but you have to think of everyone's safety."
What Renshaw and Dean were supposed to do
On flat stages like today's 114-mile endeavor in northern Provence, the race typically ends in a sprint.
Though it may look like a frantic scramble to the line, there's actually etiquette behind the madness. As the final kilometers tick down, teams with strong sprinters move to the front of the peloton.
That's where riders such as Renshaw and Dean come in.
Called leadout men, they set the pace for sprinters before ceding way shortly before the finish line.
As they let the sprinters through, these riders are supposed to continue heading in a straight line, not try to box out or change the direction of competitors.
Helicopter videos show Renshaw veered into Farrar's line
Overhead video replays, taken by a helicopter following the race, showed that Renshaw veered into Farrar's line.
Despite the ejection, HTC-Columbia was quick to defend their rider.
"This is a hard sport with hard men in it," said team owner Bob Stapleton outside of the team bus. "They're sprinting down the road … guys are colliding. I wouldn't be quick to point blame."
Garmin-Transitions, obviously, felt different. After the race they quickly consulted race officials to see if Renshaw would be thrown out.
Team sport director Jonathan Vaughters told the Monitor after the race that he had never seen anything like it in his cycling career.
'Not a gladiator's arena'
After a mostly uneventful day of racing – SaxoBank's Andy Schleck maintained the yellow jersey and the peloton caught the day's breakaway with around 14 miles remaining – supporters at the finish were excited to have any action to watch.
As Renshaw hit Dean, one fan shouted, "Zizou, Zizou," the nickname of former French soccer star Zinedine Zidane. Zidane was famously ejected for head-butting an Italian defender during the 2006 World Cup final in Germany.
This was not the first incident of violence between riders in this year's Tour de France. During Stage 3, Garmin-Transitions' Robbie Hunter, who dropped out of today's race with a fractured right elbow, punched SaxoBank's Jacob Fuglsang.
After Stage 7 in Gueugnon last Friday, QuickStep rider Carlos Barredo removed the front wheel from his bike and attempted to strike Caisse d'Epargne's Rui Costa with it.
After today's stage, Tour de France officials were quick to go on the PR offensive.
"This is a bike race, not a gladiator's arena," said race director Pescheux.
Overall standings after Stage 11:
1. Andy Schleck (Saxo Bank)
2. Alberto Contador (Astana) +0'41"
3. Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel – Euskadi) +2'45"
4. Denis Menchov (Rabobank) +2'58"
5. Jurgen Van den Broeck (Omega Pharma – Lotto) +3'31"
Top US riders:
6. Levi Leipheimer (RadioShack) +3'59"
25. Christopher Horner (RadioShack) +11'35"
32. Lance Armstrong (RadioShack) +17'51"

Health Accounts
It is generally agreed that countries "cannot manage what they cannot measure". Thus, policy makers in Member States and stakeholders are progressively more aware of the value of tracking resources for health. Through the Health Accounts Country Platform, WHO provides countries with the accounting framework System of Health Accounts (SHA) 2011, tools and technical support to institutionalize and set up a harmonized, integrated platform for annual and timely collection of health expenditure data.
What is System of Health Accounts 2011?
The System of Health Accounts (SHA) 2011 framework is an internationally recognized methodology that tracks all health spending in a given country over a defined period of time regardless of the entity or institution that financed and managed that spending. It ensures comparability of health expenditure across countries and over time.
The purpose of the SHA 2011 is to generate consistent and comprehensive data on health spending in a country, which in turn can contribute to evidence-based policy-making in the country.
Cost-effectiveness, Expenditure and Priority setting team
The Cost-effectiveness, Expenditure and Priority setting team has three main focus areas involving how money is used in the health system:

Top 5 Funniest Scenes From Dumb and Dumber
"Big Gulps huh…Well, see ya later."
A tribute to one of the funniest movies ever made…a masterpiece in comedy and chemistry. Proof you don't really have to go in the toilet (although they did in one scene) with your humor to make someone LOL! Most don't have time to sit down and watch an entire classic, so here are a select few clips that will have you remembering why Jim Carrey is funny and how Jeff Daniels surprised us all.
5. "Didn't Even See It Coming"
Hahaha…funniest thing is he was only supposed to get the bare essentials, and comes walking back with a oversized cowboy hat. Apparently they love ths scene in Holland as well.
4. "Pepper Scene"
So funny…"Pills are good!"
3. "Where Did You Get That"
Hahahha…."I'm only human Harry"
2. "Our Pets Heads Are Falling Off"
The ending to the #5 on this list and a turning point in the movie.
Haha Lloyd whispers; "His head fell off?"(casually, like it's a common way to go)
1. "Lloyd's Dream Sequence"
The reason this is so funny is because this is how Lloyd imagines a perfect day in his head. Hahahaha, center of attention at the party is a fantasy for him. And he is wearing a turtleneck.
Jim Carrey in a near perfect comedic performance. And his name is Lloyd Christmas. Jeff Daniels as the more level-headed wing man with equal unintelligence. So funny!
This Farrelly Brothers' original was full of so many funny scenes, so here are a few more that could have easily made the list…
Some Honorable Mentions:
"Snow Fight"
"Those are IOUs"
"Landed on Moon"
"I Hate Goodbyes"
I liked the one where they are slurping a slurpy...
When the bus full of girls stop and they refuse the ride...
Am sure there are others, but yeah I agree... toilet humor is not a genious thing...
Bah hum bug!!!!
the toilet humor was just as funny as the rest of the movie (IMO) my mom didn't like it but I did.
is that a pic of Jim Carrey with his finger up?
I'm in LOVE with him and I Feel Fine
Dumb & Dumber is one of my favorite movies! My best friend and I nick-named ourselves Harry and Lloyd (I'm Lloyd of course) because of this movie. We've been using these names for the past 8 years now.
It's really hard to narrow it down to just five scenes, but I can try.
1. The scene where they are getting ready for the party. Whenever Lloyd
acts like the barber slit his throat by mistake!
2. Definately the scene when Harry says that Petey's head fell off!
3. When Lloyd is in the lobby bar waiting for Mary...that undercover cop is
being so annoying.
4. When Mary, Lloyd and Harry are being held hostage. The argument
between Harry and Lloyd is hilarious!
5. The scene where Harry and Lloyd are fighting after they arive at Aspen,
and Harry tries to throw the suitcase into the pond. "Harry! Your hands
are freezing!"
One person's craziness, is another person's reality. ~ Tim Burton
I thought the scene where Lloyd 'poisons' Harry because he's jealous is fantastic, the look on Jim's face is just priceless! Like pure evil satisfaction!
It's funny because years later I met someone, still run into him frequently, who not only looks like Lloyd, but is also quite... 'intellectually challenged' AND his name is L. Christmas (won't give him the embarassment of exposing his full name but it's not Lloyd)!!
Ok.....I got some.
#5: "Head caught in the limo window scene"- yeah it was a small scene but it was really funny.
#4: "We landed on the moon!" Wouldn't he had figured that out already since he lived during that time; such a off-the-wall scene.
#3 "The hot pepper scene". The mustard and ketchup to cool down your mouth...it does work! I never thought of it until I tried the Steak&Shake peppers....WOW, that's hot!
#2 "The Chianti scene" Harry and Lloyd are walking down the street in Aspen and find a girl walking by while talking about showing a little class...I found that these type of people actually exist...and it makes it even funnier!
#1 "Samsonite...I was way off!" Wow..I didn't know how bad these guys were until that scene. I laughed until it hurt. My friend Shawn and I would quote that and use it as an inside joke when we were trying to figure out something so simple!!
Schmoyoho-oh-oh-oh accent on the YO!
Re: Top 5 Funniest Scenes From Dumb and Dumber
Mine favourite one is when Jimmy Stewart grabs Katherine Hepburn, whose face and throw it through the door, Philadelphia Story, Jack Lemmon dance grew mouth Some Like It Hot..another one would be Jeff Daniels as Harry in Dumb and Dumber, taking a HUGE diahrrea after drinking some "Turbo Lax"..

Re: Top 5 Funniest Scenes From Dumb and Dumber
Oooh......it was funny to a point then I started to feel bad for Harry. All he wanted to do is just stop his nervousness and then Lloyd decided to put ex-lax in his coffee. What a Jerk yet we still love Jim!!!

Golden Arch Enemies
Did you hear that San Francisco recently passed a law saying McDonald's can't give out toys in their Happy Meals? Yep. Apparently they don't think we should entice children to eat food that is bad for them by offering little toys as rewards.
And really, they have an excellent point: you *shouldn't* reward kids for eating junk with little toys.
Or, as the label calls them, a "tiara."
Next you up the ante with two or three action figures...
Then you start adding custom carrying cases for the action figures...
And big dollhouses for them to live in...
Until finally, the toy is so large, so complex, that it's impossible to tell where the Happy Meal ends and the toy begins!
And we can't have that, now, can we?
(Yes, there's cake in there. Really.)

Kindergarten Screening Wednesday in Cut Bank…
It's time for Kindergarten screening again. Cut Bank Schools will have their screening Wednesday, April 4 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Call 873-5513 to arrange an appointment. I remember taking my girls to the screening two years in a row, first when they were four, but I'm not sure what they recommend now, so I'd call the number and ask them if you're unsure whether your child it old enough.
It's been a while since I took a little one to the screening, so I thought I would see if I could find a site with the basics of kindergarten screening to help those of you who might be doing this for the very first time. According to Nannette Richards in her article on Yahoo Voices, "Kindergarten Screening: What Your Preschooler Needs to Know to Be Kindergarten Ready" here's what you're up against:
Basic Kindergarten Readiness Skills
Self Help skills
Manage bathroom needs without assistance
Can button and zip own clothes
Tie shoes (or learning to)
Can wash and dry own hands
Gross Motor Skills
Can hop, jump, and skip
Can stand/hop on one foot
Can throw and catch a big ball
Can kick a big ball
Has a dominant hand and foot
Can climb stairs with alternating feet
Fine Motor Skills
Can use eating utensils without assistance
Can cut with safety scissors
Can hold and use a pencil
Can trace a line
Can draw a circle, a cross, and a square
Can draw a person with 5 body parts
Expressive and Receptive Language
Speaks in complete sentences
Speech is understandable to adults
Can follow two step directions
Understand relational vocabulary (over/under, up/down, first/last, before/after)
Responds to basic requests
Can match two like pictures in a set of five pictures
Classifies objects by shape, color, and size
Recognizes and can repeat a simple patterning sequence
Can put three story pictures in the proper order.
Understands basic concepts of time (morning, afternoon, night time)
Can count to 10 by rote
Can identify and count groups of objects (up to 5)
Can retell a simple story
Can put together a simple 4 piece puzzle
Can identify five (5) colors
Can identify simple shapes (circle, square, triangle)
Recognizes own name in print
Can identify letters in own name
Recognizes some letters
Knows some letter sounds
Understands that letters form words and represent a story or ideas
Knows how to "read" a book (right side up, print is left to right)
They are really looking for serious developmental problems, so chances are your child will be more than ready. Kindergarten should be fun and not stressful, so try not to get too worried about what happens at the screening. Remember your little one will pick up on any anxiety from a parent.

I posted this on Facebook and got a slightly different response than I was expecting. Not entirely, but sort of.
"I just have to get this out there. Clothes are not a covering of shame. They are a covering of immaturity. But we're teaching our daughters all wrong. CLOTHING IS A GLORY. A scantily clad girl is a high maintenance one, like a toddler who likes to lift her shirt and show you her belly button. Adam and Eve wore clothes after they ate the fruit because it was then that they suddenly grew up and realized they weren't dressed to be the king and queen of the world. It was after they grew up that they finally were joined and had children. Anyhow, all this to say, we're teaching our girls totally backwards when we teach them to just cover all the important parts. No wonder our daughters get caught up in the dos and don'ts and try to judge each other's motives for dressing. Am I crazy in thinking this? Really, I'm trying to have a soft heart here, so I'll try not to overreact if somebody cares to comment and disagree..."
So to answer some questions, I wrote it all out here.

Article marketing is a good tool for reaching out to a broader audience and letting them know about your expertise on a given topic. The purpose is to establish credibility and drive traffic back to your website. So let's first cover the basics of article marketing and submission, and then touch on potential duplicate content issues.
What is Article Marketing?
Article marketing allows writers to promote themselves and their company by writing articles and making the content freely available for reproduction on other Internet sites. Basically, you're providing something of value for free to those who have similar interests or work in your field.
Writing articles helps set you up as an expert or authority on the topic. Writing a number of articles in a niche area helps establish you as a specialist in that particular field. Readers will reciprocate by wanting to learn more about you and your company.
Tips on Writing Good Articles and Headlines
The first thing to consider when writing an article is to find a good topic. Keyword research is a great resource here because it will help you understand where people's interests lie.
You'll want to incorporate those keywords into the body of your article and, most importantly, in your headline. Applying SEO best practices will also increase the chances your article will be picked up by search engines with your target keywords.
When thinking of a good title for your article, consider your target keywords and make sure you use them in your title. Consider using your keyword first and then follow with a catchy phrase or benefit (e.g., "Link Building — The Top 5 Methods for Placing Links"). In addition to helping with SEO, this will help people quickly understand what your article is about.
Articles don't have to be long. They should be around 500-700 words and structured in a way that's relevant to the reader.
It's important to refrain from selling within your article. Your readers will genuinely regard your article as something of value if you provide good, useful, relevant content. Indirectly, you're selling them on your value, which is more important.
Article Submission Directory
You can post your completed articles to various article submission directories, such as EzineArticles. Here's a link to the top 50 article directories supposedly ranked by Alexa and Google PageRank. These directories are generally free and offer many categories of topics to choose from.
Duplicate Content and Article Submission
Now we run into the problem with duplicate content. You might get some good links from submitting your article to several directories, but you also might get lost from the search engines.
Ask yourself which is more important: links or SEO? You may not be able to have your cake and eat it too.
Search engines are looking for quality, original content. So if you're going to send your article to many directories, make sure you have a link pointing back to the original. For this reason, you should also avoid over submitting your article and try to look for quality placement by manual submission.
There are other methods for content syndication than just using article directories. We'll go into this in more detail next week.
If you've had success or failure with article marketing, please share in the comment section below.

In the twinkling of an eye, the Supreme Court's surprising decision to uphold the bulk of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has greatly helped President Barack Obama in the continuing fight over it in the 2012 presidential election.
Instead of having to absorb a feared rejection of the law he spent more than the first year of his presidency achieving, including its controversial individual mandate on Americans to buy health insurance, Mr. Obama has been thrown a lifeline by the unexpected acquiescence of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.
Chief Justice Roberts' break from the usual conservative Republican majority in joining the four liberals on the court had to shake the confidence of the GOP right wing. Many in that camp believed they had a dependable ally in their concerted effort to end what they call "Obamacare" and to oust the president in November.
The decision, beyond preserving the critical method of financing the health care act, also keeps in place two of its most popular provisions -- removing pre-existing medical conditions as a bar to insurance and extending coverage of dependent children to age 26. Both are considered strong potential vote getters for Mr. Obama in the fall. The one provision ruled unconstitutional, which required states to expand their Medicaid to the destitute elderly, does allow those states that wish to comply to do so.
The 5-4 ruling on the individual mandate will only intensify the political battle over the law, as Republican leaders in Congress had already said in advance of it that they would campaign on a slogan to "repeal and replace" the Obama plan. A Supreme Court decision throwing out the law would have been a heavy burden for the president to carry in his re-election effort.
Instead, it poses a severe challenge for prospective Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has committed himself to getting rid of the federal law that was patterned in part on his own health care reform as governor of Massachusetts, pointedly including the individual mandate financing mechanism.
The decision comes at a time when the Obama campaign's optimism had been slipping badly, with economic recovery appearing to falter. Then the usually unflappable president added to his woes by insisting in a major speech that the private sector was "doing fine." He quickly backtracked, but the comment stepped on his message.
Now the debate over his hard-won health care reforms, which could have been an unwelcome diversion in the campaign, will be a subject the Obama campaign will be more willing to address, with the court's approval of its main features bolstering the president's argument.
With most of the Obama law remaining in force, Mr. Romney will be under more pressure not only to promise that his election will lead to repeal but to spell out in detail what reforms he would replace it with. He has already said his Massachusetts plan is not a one-size-fits-all remedy,
Meanwhile, Republican leaders can no longer rely on their prior general assumptions that there was a dependable conservative bloc with Chief Justice Roberts at its head to be a bastion against liberal Democratic programs. Nor can many Democrats maintain their previous smug certainty that the court will be a losing battleground unless Mr. Obama is re-elected and has a chance to make one or more additional nominations in a second term.
Four members of the court are in their 70s, two of them Republicans, Antonin Scalia and Anthony M. Kennedy. Justice Kennedy has been regarded as most likely to cast a swing vote, but on the health care issue he stayed with the conservative minority.
Justice Scalia, the ideological leader of the conservative bloc often given to biting sarcasm and vitriol from the bench, earlier this week made derisive comments about Mr. Obama on the issue of immigration. His remarks led to some calls for his resignation for venturing into the political arena.
However, the vote on health care for once put Justice Scalia in the shadows and may well have boosted the integrity of a court itself, which has been under a cloud since its ruling in 2000 that decided a presidential election.

The Vogue Paris June/July 2012 issue is one magazine that is surely on everyone's lips. If it's not the sand on cover star Gisele Bündchen's butt cheeks getting your attention, it is the toned bare back of the supermodel, who at 31 and a mother of one, is still looking as good as when she first came on the scene more than 10 years ago. Shot by Inez and Vinoodh, Gisele Bündchen is styled by none other than Emmanuelle Alt who I must say is finally coming into her own after surpassing the one year mark as editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris as of the April 2012 issue.
The Vogue Paris June/July 2012 issue also marks the first Health Initiative issue which is a pact between the 19 international editors of Vogue to encourage a healthier approach to body image within the industry. Read the full Health Initiative agreement and Anna Wintour's letter on the issue.
With most magazines having either a sports-themed (with the Olympics around the corner) or resort-themed (June being Summer issues) main editorial, I daresay this editorial is a clear winner. Check out the full 21-page editorial featuring Gisele Bündchen by Inez and Vinoodh for Vogue Paris June/July 2012 below.

Race TipsPrepare yourself well for the event and enjoy yourself on race day! And don't forget to make a volunteer's day and say thanks for the help!
Before the Race: Give yourself plenty of time to check-in and set up your transition area in the dark, early in the morning. This game plan is especially important for first-time competitors. Rehearse finding your bike upon entering the bike corral. Remember it will all look different in the daylight!
Swim: Do the swim course and find some good landmarks so you can swim relatively straight! Although the race has wave starts, there is still enough congestion right after the gun to get disoriented. There will be marshalls and lifeguards on the makai edge of the course to warn you if you are getting close to the reef. You will have to swim around a buoy and head back toward the start where the swim finish chutes are set up.
Bike: Practice the descent of heartbreak hill in Hawaii Kai and be in control as you approach the corner of Hawaii Kai Dr. and Lunalilo Home Rd. Also be in control on the descent past Diamond Head so you don't lose it and crash close to the finish! Remember you must ride within the traffic cones at all times. Be extra alert crossing big intersections. Safety is always our number one concern but accidents have happened in the past when motorists have ignored police directing traffic. Obey traffic laws at all times, we do not own the roads on race day. This race is an individual event, and drafting is not permitted. You will be disqualified without warning for drafting.
Run: Don't forget your number! Three aid stations are located along the run course. Don't pass up a chance to keep well-hydrated. Although it is not a long run, heat takes its toll every year, and the first aid tent always has customers. Don't give them your business!

Next Fall everybody will dress printend shirts and coats?
Great and Creative, but it isn't my cup of tea ;)
His colors are something magic. I can stay here, in front of my PC, and look them forever. Incantevole.
Dries Van Noten always has a special place in my heart!
The prints are FANTASTIC!
Wow! THIS is fashion.
Love how soft the deep teal sweater looks! Beautiful show.
That coat is wild, but I like it!
men clothing back to be elegant as well as "real men" style. loved the runway
I want that fuzzy jumper so badly…lovely backdrop of prints to micic or contrast the pieces, though…
Wow!! I love the background of the stage but not so much those coats. Coats for bold person.
oooh really !!!!?!?!? with those man painting at the background! how awesome! love the green jumper!
Love the coat on the second photo ! As a belgian I really see him as a designer to be proud of, eventhough these looks are not how I'd like to see a man dress. Curious to see the women's collection
belgian fashion blog
a great selection of prints, quite similar to the Moschino ones insofar as they have a very graphic quality to them, almost like comics….
The hand painted type is amazing too! Any chance you took some photos of the finished wall?
The words and artwork on the wall made me curious about the collection's inspiration. The drawings represent the inside of Frank Zappa's mind on acid. And the words are from Oscar Wilde's THE HAPPY PRINCE:http://fiction.eserver.org/short/happy_prince.html
Belli stilosi i cappotti a fantasie varie!
was this a dress rehearsal for the show or the real show? I preferred the photos without the mural painters (even where the wall was unfinished). I was getting distracted by how the painters' brushes had these interesting ombre effects.
part of me tries to stay away from prints because they can be trendy (less budget friendly) but I guess if you find something you really love, it can become your signature.
I liked the color of the green (teal) furry coat. it felt subdued enough not to be overly rocker.
The very serious idiocy after Prada's Frankenstein collection, with the exception of William Dafoe, continues.
Can men out there relate to this???????????
To die for…..!
hourah for "our" fantastic DRIES!!
Looks like the style direction for men is loud and clear. What a wonderful presentation -love the mural/graffitti-esque painting going on -sort of perfect for our times don't you think?
My eyes were more focused on the progression of the painting than on the clothes! Must be the artist in me.
Beautiful and stylish as always.
Really love this collection
The caligraphy is the original work of the also performing young Dutch typographic artist and designer Job Wouters, based in Amsterdam. Certainly a stunning clash of styles!
These prints are a bit like urban camouflage ! … like Robert Downey junior in the new Sherlock Holmes… lol….
Having said this I would wear them in a heartbeat .
Lovely photos!:)
All about le prints! Oui. We love them. On men on women even on dogs!!! xx
Our dutch pride. He always makes amazing things. Love those jackets!
Love! The patterned walls are a nice touch.
these photos took my breath away!
so creative, i love it. the fence is really cool.
beautiful details!
this is brillant and beautiful.
vraiment superbe
the patters and artwork are incredible! great use of color too
FINALLY! A wonderful fit, and a creative look! I LOVE IT that this one show doesn't leave me wanting to yell "pull up your pants!" ( YES, I DID hate D squared) NOW thats how a suit should look!!!!
His designs are always great!! Can't wait for the women's collection :)
Funny winter…….
Nice prints , I like it!
Swoon! I adore the prints!
This is amazing! love both the clothing as well as the art work. Such a cool way of handling the brushes and colors. And love for the 'Dries van 'Noten' patterns/prints.
Dries is the best! As a belgian myself, I'm very proud we have that much talent in such a small country:)
Yay, I finally made it on TheSartorialist!!!!
the collaboration between art, graphic design and fashion is extraordinarily GOOD!
much credit for dries van Noten, but also for the dutch artist Gijs Frieling (landscape prints) and graphic designs of Job Wouters!
The artwork behind is AMAZING! i kept trying to focus on the clothes but i just couldn't take my eyes off the artists behind! Thank you for sharing that with us!
Prints are amazing!
What a great concept for a show, the appeal of a work in progress :)
Is there a women's collection? This is amazing, but i would love to see that.
Someone needs to tell those painters that there's fashion happening and that they should be careful not to splash any paint on the clothing.
Thats was a very great show !
really, i've never liked very much Dries Van Noten. This collection confirms it.
I love the set!!!

Love the slacks and the tailoring.
Prints are another sell all together. Sort of like ties, they're very personal and can date quickly. I prefer the prints on the casual, short jacket, not so much on the coats.
The colors are wonderful!
This is simply amazing!! Fabulous idea for the show and colour looks great!
Wow……i love the colors!
beautiful work…as always.
It never fails to amaze me how and where these designers take there inspiration from. I am and have been a big fan of DVN as a designer for years.
I really think you should have a look at a an artist called, Kirstin Bratsch, who is particularly hot right now in the European Fine art world. I am sure anyone will be able to see the resemblance immediately, especially the patterning and paint slide style.
This is not a bad thing. I am particularly pleased that designers have and will continue to reference contemporary fine art to inspire their collections. In conjunction these elements help to change the way millions view and accept the possibilities of the "new". It has and always will be a significant working relationship between the two worlds.
the mural is amazing, was this a run through or the real runway?
cannot stop staring at those mural and the first coat. genius pattern! I heart Dries Van Noten!
Creative runway! I like this fashion show!
The backgrounds are killer, that touch with paint and the gradient. I think the show behind is much more interesting then the actual fashion.
Can anyone please tell me what shoes the models are wearing in the first and second photo? And the first model in the last photo? An answer will be much appreciated!

At Least It's Not A Land War In Asia
My favorite part is how it's written BELOW the picture.
I almost want this baker to be color blind, just so s/he has *some* excuse.
Fortunately the baker of this wedding cake followed instructions literally:
See? She *did* write it!
Thanks to Robert B., Tenae Z. & Kate L. for falling victim to one the classic blunders. Just remember, guys: never go against a Simpleton when CAKE is on the line! HAHA HA HAHAH AHAH HA... [thud]

Anne Thompson over at Thompson on Hollywood ran a Superman post the other day that basically reiterates a lot of the things we've been reporting here at Screen Rant all throughout the Summer/Fall of 2009:
- The rights to the character are still being fought over by DC Comics/Warner Bros. and the heirs of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
- DCE/WB has NO plans to rush a Superman movie into production before a 2013 legal deadline.
- The franchise is effectively in limbo at the moment.
- As far as we can tell, ain't nobody doin' nuthin' about it.
Comic book movie fans, right now one of our biggest icons is being benched because of some legal hangups, a loss of purpose and direction and a general sense of greed run amok. So what's to be done about it? I have some suggestions and I know you do too...
A legal settlement is probably already in the works, maybe not. I tend to believe the former, because DCE/WB would have to be soft in the brain if they aren't planning to hold on to the Superman property. This lawsuit with the Shuster/Siegel heirs is ridiculous: last we checked, the heirs were vying to get back everything their forefathers created - namely the first incarnation of Superman who appeared in Action Comics #1 back in 1938.
That early rendition of the Superman character doesn't even include a lot of the now-iconic powers, supporting characters or villains - the heirs would essentially own a strong flying guy from an exploded planet called Krypton. No more, no less. Without those origins, however, DCE/WB would be left with an unnamed superhero who has a lot of familiar friends and enemies and is vulnerable to green rocks called Kryptonite, which are the exploded bits of some mysterious unnamed planet.
Sounds pretty sill either way, right? Even more outlandish - if another superhero-based company like Disney/Marvel bought a portion of the Superman rights from the heirs (not likely, but possible) then they could effectively shelve the Man of Steel indefinitely. It would make them total A-holes to pull something like that, but hey, this is business...
VERDICT: Settle the suit, guys, and get back to giving the fans access to one of their most beloved heroes.
Between this lawsuit and the divided opinion over Bryan Singer's 2006 cinematic attempt to relaunch the franchise, Superman has a lot of dirt on his shoulder that needs brushing off. Right now, I'd say the only ones keeping the Man of Steel's name ringing within the fickle bubble of pop-culture are the good folks over at Smallville. The show seemed to be on ratings decline last year, but they're pulling out all the stops for this current 9th season, including in upcoming two-hour movie event featuring a whole gang of Smallville version DC Comics Superheroes. Of course, there's the issue of that impending 2013 legal deadline and what (if any) options Smallville will have for remaining on the air afterward...
For now, this is the only Superman we have...
VERDICT: Superman needs a to brush that dirt off his shoulder and start over with a clean slate. I'm talking total relaunch. No "Dark Superman" movie, no continuation of the mess Singer made - get a visionary director who seems to understand which core aspects of the character have made Superman such an enduring icon, give that director the necessary money (not too much) and let him/her go to work!
A wise man recently said to the world, "Allow me to re-introduce myself..." Another wise man (Chris Nolan) took that statement to heart and re-introduced the world to a Batman we never knew we'd lost touch with. Superman deserves such a re-introduction. For all the positives of Superman Returns, the film (IMO) was still basically a big-screen version of a geek's lunchroom conversation: "Is Superman strong enough to stop a bullet with his eye? If Lois Lane got pregnant with Superman's kid, would birthing a super-baby kill her? Would the kid have all Superman's powers, or just some of them?" And no offense to the man who stepped into Christopher Reeves' boots, but "geek Superman" was what that movie delivered (IMHO).
Superman, like Batman before him, needs to be taken back to the essence of what makes him great - because for the life of me, I'm beginning to forget why he was so great in the first place. Maybe I just need to pull out Richard Donner's 1976 Oscar-nominated adaptation; even today, when movie budgets swell faster than a speeding bullet and special effects have improved by skyscraper leaps and bounds, Donner's vision still holds up nicely and resonates clear and true when I think of all the things that make Superman who and what he is.
It'd be nice if SOMEBODY out there in the wide-world of filmmaking could have the opportunity to show this new generation why some icons will never fade.
What do YOU think - what should DCE/WB do about this Superman quagmire?

Oscar de la Renta Fashion Show
On Saturday, Aug 4th, Saks Fifth Avenue and the League to Save Lake Tahoe welcomed 660 people to Lake Tahoe for their annual luncheon and fashion show featuring Oscar de la Renta. Now in its 49th year, the event raised more than $870,000 to keep Tahoe blue.
The show featured 64 looks including everything from modern power suits in pop colors, shorts suit sets, signature Oscar toile du juoy prints done in modern silhouettes, sleek cut-out gowns with high slits, and petal and wedgewood pastel day dresses. Co-Creative Directors Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia noted, "Our resort collection looked incredible against Lake Tahoe with the blue backdrop and wind giving life to the dresses on the runway."

Integrated weed management best response to herbicide resistance
Over-reliance on glyphosate-type herbicides for weed control on U.S. farms has created a dramatic increase in the number of genetically-resistant weeds, according to a team of agricultural researchers, who say the solution lies in an integrated weed management program. "I'm deeply concerned when I see figures that herbicide use could double in the next decade," said David Mortensen, professor of weed ecology at Penn State. Since the mid-1990s, agricultural seed companies developed and marketed seeds that were genetically modified to resist herbicides such as Roundup -- glyphosate -- as a more flexible way to manage weeds, Mortensen said. About 95 percent of the current soybean crop is modified by inserting herbicide-resistant genes into the plants.
