Make a wish, Bastards: it's Episode 123 of that CBMFP! This time, Kevin, Dustin and Steve ponder the possibilities on what might have been in a Terry Gilliam-led Watchmen flick, and what could be now that Mark Millar's new bookStarlight has a writer attached to its cinematic adaptation. Because that's already happening! The guys also chime in on the new Batman: Arkham Knight game, Lion Forge Comics' new line of old titles (Miami Vice comics, anyone?), and why a new exhibition of black velvet paintings featuring 1980s professional wrestlers is the best thing in your universe. The books that done get dug this week are:
- Orision #1 & 2
- Headspace #1
- Madame Frankenstein #1
- Wolf Country #1
Here's the previous two episodes in case you missed them!

Feedback on the SEOmoz Blog: What Can We Do For You?Blog Post: April 08, 2010
Using Bespoke Products & Services To Build LinksBlog Post: March 21, 2010
I was like, bespoke, what? Thanks for the clarification!
Anyway, one of the sites I work on has a paid directory for businesses in a certain industry. I got the sales people to ask clients if the client sites would link to our sites or even to our directory. Sort of like a Better Homes and Gardens Seal of Approval. (Is that an American reference? LOL) Anyway, we got some new links in to the site. Sweet.
One point to add here is that the type of link building Tom has outlined here usually gets a link on a page with very few links. Even sweeter.
Using Twitter as a SitemapBlog Post: March 07, 2010
To understand the reliability of the test.
What if a user clicks on a link with your twitter tracking parameter on it and links to it in some way without removing the parameter. Now google can find the link with the parameter some place that is NOT no indexed.
Am I right?
Regardless, I still believe google is indexing all these URLs. It behooves them to do so!
Also, do people like twitterfeed? I haven't yet tried it. Would love to hear feedback on it, pros and cons.
Optimizing Topic Pages for SEO with Marshall Simmonds - Whiteboard FridayBlog Post: January 28, 2010
Or a bit of both. Like have a module on a topic page that pulls in new/relevant(by tag) blog posts, or most recently put up articles. But have a static module with three GREAT articles on the topic.
And, have a schedule for changing/updating. Like update the Christmas page every October (I like to clean stuff up two to three months in advance).
Oh jeeze, I would say 5 links out or fewer. No rule about it. But if there are 15 sites you would send your readers to for more info, then your page must not have much info on it! You know what I mean? Send readers to only the most bestest evah stuff. (And do your research; don't just take what's first in a Google SERP; might not be the best!) How's this: links out must go to primary/professional sources.
If you get all crazy about hoarding PR and all that jazz, you get lost. So link out to what might be helpful and useful to your readers. And forget all the "SEO" mumbo jumbo that's rattling around.
Think of topics pages as a way to cut across content ideas as well.
You have:
a bio of MLK
MLK topic page
Civil Rights Mvmt topic page
Black History Month topic page
Nobel Laureates topic page
January birthdays topic page
Notable pastors topic page
US Holidays topic page
Put the MLK bio on all those pages. And now you have taken one thing, one little bio and found a way to get that one page many more potential page views, by slicing and dicing your content, and make the other pages richer for it.
AND: of course you would link out to Stanford's MLK papers website. Since his speeches are copyrighted, you can't put the I Have a Dream speech on your site in its entirety, but your readers might want to read it. Why keep readers from knowing about that great resource. And why let Google be the arbiter of that resource when your own site can do it?
One other thing here. If you slice and dice your related content by topic, think of the keyword richness, synonyms, all that good stuff.
Are Your SEO Resolutions Actionable?Blog Post: January 04, 2010
Since everyone is talking about blogging, I thought I would say I have a personal, non-SEO blog that I fantasize will be a book someday. My personal goal (resolution!) is to blog there every week. I was doing great, but slacked off in December. I commit at least an hour a day to writing and then the nights I am actually going to publish it takes me about 2-3 hours to clean up the entry. I think good writing actually takes that much effort!
And on the SEO front, first, your list looks my SEO tactics docs, Makes me feel like I know what I am doing, phew.
But Dr. Pete, what do you mean by remove low-quality internal links. Help me out there.
SEO Cheat Sheet: Anatomy of A URLBlog Post: October 06, 2009
Nice visuals for a pretty intuitive issue.
I would like to point out that it is a good idea to have a page available at each directory level. At least redirect those URLs to appropiriate landing pages. Lots users cut off the trailing ends of URLs, so just make sure http://store.example.com/topics/ actually goes to a list of topics, perhaps, or somewhere useful.

12 Easy Mistakes That Plague Newcomers to the SEO FieldBlog Post: March 04, 2009
1. Google webmaster tools are great. We use joomla, so we just bought a plug in that pulls an xml Sitemap. I troll it for weird stuff, make sure it's valid, then submit. We had about 4k new pages indexed in a week or so. Sweet! And I check the tools every few weeks to see what wackiness is happening. Has helped me ferret out types of URLs web dev needs to 404.
2. Question Re: links pages.
We do have links pages, but they are actual handy sites that might be helpful to users around certain topic areas, that are relevant to the content on our site. Every once in awhile, like 5% or less of the time, we do the old, "if you link to me, I'll link to you" thing. Can you talk about what critical mass is necessary for linking like this to cause a penalty?

This is the 3rd in a series of design articles about Codex. In case you missed the first two:
#1 Codex Design: Cards and Gold As Resources
#2 Codex Design: Heroes and Tech Buildings
Codex is asynchronous. That means someday you'll be able to play the online version without your opponent having to be online at the same time as you. You can get through your entire turn without having to wait for your opponent, then they can take their turn without you having to be there either. In offline (tabletop) games, it also means turns go smoothly: without the fits and starts of the opponent constantly interrupting you.
If the opponent doesn't make decisions on your turn, then doesn't that make combat too simple? Or not interactive enough? The patrol zone is the answer to those problems.
You can have any of your units or heroes directly attack anything with hit points—any unit, hero, or building of the opponent's. You don't have to wait for the opponent to decide how to block your attacks though because they *already* decided their blocking plan before your turn started.
At the end of their main phase, they chose which of their units and heroes to patrol, and which slots they'll go in. If you have an attacker that CAN attack one of those patrollers, you don't have to attack with it at all, but if you do then it MUST attack a patroller. Patrollers are the defender's first line of defense so you'll have to get through them before you can attack something else.
Each patroller has a different bonus. When you're setting up your defense, carefully consider which bonus you want each of your defenders to get.
The most important slot is the squad leader. Your squad leader gets one point of armor, which means it will take one less damage than usual, but even more importantly it has "taunt." That means the attacker must attack it even before your other patrollers.
The elite slot gives your patroller +1 ATK, so a 3/3 unit would become a 4/3 unit while patrolling in that slot, letting it deal extra damage if it gets attacked.
The scavenger and technician slots give you 1 gold and let you draw 1 card, respectively, when the patrollers in those slots die. These slots are great when you're taking a beating. The extra resources of gold and cards can let you mount a comeback as you try to hold off an aggressive attacker.
The lookout slot gives your patroller resist 1. This means the opponent must pay 1 gold to target that patroller with any spell or ability. Sometimes the biggest threat to one of your units or heroes isn't dying in combat, but rather dying to some sort of spell or ability. The lookout slot gives your opponent a disincentive to mess that patroller.
That's pretty much it. Combat works in a very straightforward way where one thing directly attacks another thing and they each deal their damage to the other at the same time. Damage is persistent in Codex, meaning it doesn't get healed automatically at the end of the turn.
Flying is also worth mentioning here, it's especially powerful. It works like it does in RTS video games, rather than how it works in most card games. In Starcraft, a Zealot (ground melee unit) can't hit a Mutalisk (flying unit) ever. The same is true here. Flying units can attack ground units and not get hit back at all! Flying units can fly over ground patrollers and are not physically blocked by them at all!
That's a bit of a double edged sword though; flying units also can't physically block ground attackers. So if you patrol one of your fliers, an enemy ground attacker can simply run under it and get to your vulnerable heroes and tech buildings. Overall though, flying units are very deadly, just as they tend to be in RTS video games.
Patrol Zone Design Features
The patrol zone is the most unexpectedly good feature in Codex. It was originally developed as a way to make asynchronous combat interesting enough, but players liked it so much that they said it should be a central feature no matter if the game supported asynchronous play or not. It turns out there's a lot of nuance in just how you patrol your forces!
Before the patrol zone existed in Codex, some players originally suggested putting "taunt" on particular units (meaning the opponent would have to attack those first), but it's just so inadequate as a solution here. You'd be at the mercy of drawing the right units just to be able to block at all. The patrol zone lets you give that power to any of your forces AND lets you stack more bonuses on them too, which is just way more flexibility to plan your strategy.
The extra bonuses the patrol zone gives your defenders solve some very deep problems that we had for a long time. There's a delicate balance in Codex between rushing down and teching up. At some points in the game's history, rushdown was too good, which makes the game degenerate. At other times, it was too weak which means there's nothing to "keep you honest" if you want to blatantly start going for late game plans way too early. The simplest rules were the ones that lead to rushdown being too good, so is there some way we can do a small tweak to them?
It turns out, the single point of armor you get in the squad leader slot (and to a lesser degree, the +1 ATK you get from the elite slot) matters A LOT. That gives you just enough defense that early turns are not based on degenerate rushdown that you can't do anything about, but your buffer of protection doesn't last you long. Soon enough, units and heroes get big enough to overcome those bonuses and crush a weak defender if they don't start putting up a fight.
Unrelated to all that, the card draw system is also tuned on the edge of a knife. It has the great property that you get to draw a lot of cards, yet "card advantage" still matters. That means if you can use one card to destroy two of the opponent's cards, that actually does help you (which we want). It's also great that you often have a tough decision on whether to play a worker because that helps your economy later but might hurt your card draw in the process. It's all interconnected and just what it needs to be...but I wished you could get *slightly* more cards somehow without having to build the add-on that's specifically for that.
Just like it was very hard to tweak the combat system to give you "slightly more early defense," it was very hard to tweak the card draw system to give you "slightly more card draw." But in both cases, the patrol zone bonuses saved us. We were able to keep generally simple rules and use the bonuses to get the effects we wanted. If you are losing too many units on defense and you're trying to stay in the game, the ability to put a unit in the technician slot to draw an extra card really helps a lot. Same goes for the scavenger, it's the same concept really. If you're losing a lot of units, you might really need more gold or more cards (or both) to get back in the game. So we give you the option to do that, but it's not like we just give you an extra gold and extra card every turn. There's opportunity cost here and you have to work for it.
It turns out that somehow the extra defense, gold, and cards you can get from these bonuses were exactly what we needed. Usually this sort of design is driven from mechanics first. You'd think all this stuff exists precisely because we needed it, but the truth is that players liked the idea of the patrol zone so much that we kept developing it and kind of stumbled into it solving a few other design problems along the way. The original need for asynchronous play was a mechanical need leading to the patrol zone existing, yes, but that we actually kept it and enhanced it as a core part of the game was all from player feedback and what they enjoyed (and what I enjoyed too).
It's also pretty nice flavor that you set your units and heroes to patrol to protect you during the opponent's turn, then you spend that time figuring out your build order (picking cards from your codex to add to your deck). It feels like an RTS thing. ;)
If Codex sounds interesting to you, please support it on Kickstarter while it's there!

Location: Vixen Point, Gorda Sound
We started the day out with a quick breakfast of french toast, followed by our first search and recovery dive. After surfacing from our successful dive, we all put away our dive gear and motored to Leverick Bay. All of the "Loves" were grateful to be able to go to shore for a bit after docking and cleaning up the boat from all our dive gear. We explored the area on shore for an hour or two, and a few of us were lucky enough to encounter a few of our old skippers and catch up. Personally, it was awesome catching up with Cayley, a staff member on my boat last summer, after not having seen her in a year. Then we motored to Vixen Point, where every other boat was anchored for our beach BBQ tonight, and for our rescue Emergency First Responder course. Everyone was excited to learn all of the tips and techniques for responding to emergencies and learning CPR. Everyone was able to practice resuscitating dummies and was rewarded with free time on the beach. It's been an insanely crazy and awesome day, and the beach BBQ is going swimmingly. We're all learning so much and growing closer every day! I'm so lucky to be on this boat! Til next time!

Negotiating the Past. Islamic Heritage in Italy and Spain
International Conference, Università Iuav di Venezia, February 1-2, 2019
Keynotes: Antonio Almagro Gorbea (Escuela de Estudios Árabes CSIC) / Ezio Godoli (UniFl)
The conference will focus on the discussion about the Islamic heritage in Italy and Spain and its later reception in the post-Islamic context. Sharing an Islamic past, both countries display this heritage in different ways through art and architecture. As cultural contact zones, Italy and Spain had a rich Islamic tradition, which has been adopted in the medieval Norman and Mudéjar artistic production.
These exchange processes are currently subject to ongoing international discussions. Furthermore, the observed medieval transfer mechanisms may be applied to the modern reception of the Italian and Spanish Islamic heritage. Which differences may be detected between the medieval edifices of Palermo or Seville and the neo-Islamic interiors in Sammezzano or Aranjuez? Has the reception behaviour of the 19th and 20th centuries changed compared to that of the Middle Age? How have the Islamic standards been assumed in the modern architectural vocabulary? Who were the possible promotors of this pro-Islamic art trend? What part did the medieval clients and their architects play? How relevant are the travellers, private collectors, arabists or art historians of the 19th century for the valorisation of the Islamic heritage? What was the role of Islamic heritage for the construction of identity and ideologies in both countries?

Written by: Juuso Waldén
The landscape of job search has been changing drastically over the last years and decades as the Internet and Social Media have taken an even bigger role in this process than ever before. In this text, the underlying effects and changes for every job hunter of today are discussed. The goal is to provide insights and views about the change that is currently taking place in the field of social media and the job market.
(Source: Punchedclocks.com, 2015)
Losing the humane touch
As the social media becomes an increasingly prevalent means of recruiting, the humane touch will evidently fade away as time passes. The phenomenon is already present, as applicants have to fill up the forms in the Internet portals, use social media to find open positions and crawl several websites to find positions that are available. While Internet and social media have brought lots of life changing and easing innovations, these innovations have simultaneously overwhelmed with the amount of possibilities and resources that are available for use (Labrecque, vor dem Esche, Mathwick, Novak, and Hofacker, 2013).
However, the situation has not always been like this, as in the past, when social media and Internet were not around, job applicants were assessed based on their actions on the spot, in an "offline" setting. Basically this meant that one could go directly to talk with the storeowner or employer that then tested the suitability of the candidate for the position. This also allowed the candidate to show the true colors of him/herself, without needing to create a personal brand to get the possibility to have an interview. It was assumed that the person presented him/herself as is, and the actions taken communicated the potential future behavior of the applicant in that position (Labrecque et al., 2013).
Strangely enough the situation has turned around today, as it is hard to get the possibility to introduce yourself in the context of a personal interview. In today's environment when an interview is eventually offered, it is often conducted over telephone or Skype. While, doing the interview over virtual communication tools offers lots of flexibility and convenience, it lacks in human touch, as it does not offer the same functionalities as physical face-to-face meetings. The handshakes and the ability to feel and sense each others presence has its own meaning, even though it seems that its value is underestimated in the times of technological revolution (Sol, n.d.).
This scene is maybe best demonstrated in the movie "Up in the Air" from the year 2009, where George Clooney plays the main role. In the movie, a new depersonalized system is used to fire people from their work. While the system is nearly flawless and offers huge cost savings, it lacks the human centric touch that is so crucial, when working with humans. In the end, we are not machines and we have feelings and presence that cannot be sensed trough screens, not yet at least.
Personal Brand, a necessity of our time
The lessening amount of human contact in the recruiting process has led to a situation in which personal brand is needed in order to advance in the recruiting process and to be noticed in the first place. While, in the past time was spent going from one potential work place to another, today that time is spent creating the brand strategy and identity in social media (Deighton and Kornfeld, 2009). The social media has started to play a more important role as it is used increasingly in the process of recruiting (Vilnai-Yavetz, & Tifferet, 2015; McMullen, 2015).
Already three years ago (2013) a survey done by careerbuilder.com revealed that around 37 % of employers use social media to find suitable candidates to fill open positions (Smith, 2013). Today this number can be expected to be even higher. This means that in an increasing manner the job searcher has to be more aware of what is said and done in social media. In order to succeed in this new environment, a solid strategy is needed (Berthon, Pitt, Plangger & Shapiro, 2012; Smith, 2013). This entails that personal image is having a bigger role than ever before (Vilnai-Yavetz, I. & Tifferet, 2015; McMullen, 2015). For this cause, one should have a unique personal brand that is constructed using the brand principles, helping to manage and communicate the desired image to potential employers (Deighton and Kornfeld, 2009).
The first step in this process is to discover the core identity of the brand, meaning personal attributes, attitudes and benefits that could be offered to the potential employer. However, these should be picked with care and consideration, as these are the aspects, which are communicated through social media to the potential employers showcasing the unique potential and capabilities (Gensler, Völckner, Liu-Thompkins and Wiertz, 2013; Hennig-Thurau, Hofacker and Bloching, 2013)
This professional image should be interpreted as a storyline that flows through the different social medias. As a professional you are building a narrative that intrigues employers' attention and communicates afore mentioned attitudes, benefits and attributes. These are personal strengths and abilities that would offer value to the employer if they choose to hire you (Smith, 2013). The coherent story throughout the social media should communicate an authentic, reliable and consistent image while promoting professionalism, reliability and trustworthiness in a coherent manner (Singh and Sonnenburg, 2012; Smith, 2013).
Networks, the bridge to the future
In the social media environment, the personal brand is measured against several metrics that include the amount of connections or followers, activity, posts shared and rankings etc. (Labrecque et al., 2013). For example, the desirability of LinkedIn profile is measured against views that one has against the connections and professionals similar to the person in question. Hence, the power and impetus of the profile comes from the network that one has (Berthon et al., 2012; McMullen, 2015). In this process networks are playing a crucial role as the content that is created and shared with networks of the applicant, affect the personal reputation and the possibilities to have even surprising job opportunities (Labrecque et al., 2013; Conner, 2014).
As an example, if one has multiple connections with people who share job positions in their social media (Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn) the more possibilities the person has compared to those who are not in the sphere of these connections. While the person has a high amount of quality connections, it is easier to be up-to-date on positions that are available (McMullen, 2015). This can be seen in the form of electronic-Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM) as individuals share content including job posts in their feeds, hence spreading the information in social media and internet (King, Racherla, and Bush, 2014).
In the recruiters perspective it is easy to advertise the position in social media, as it gets wide coverage. When in the past the knowledge about the available positions were mostly local, based on newspapers or actual Word-of-Mouth (WOM). Today those positions are experiencing "spillover effect" as they are known globally rather than locally. This can cause the amounts of applicants to be higher and positions to be more competed (Berthon et al., 2012). Which in turn causes the increasing demand to have a personal brand to stand out from the crowd. Networks play an essential role, as they are the main way to create and maintain connections in the social media that help to get the desired position (McMullen, 2015).
However, having a vast amount of contacts raises a question of the amount of genuine contacts. How many of those contacts one really knows? It is not uncommon to see profiles that have 1000 or more connections (Conner, 2014). In the recruiters' perspective, how can he/she be sure that these contacts represent the candidate behind the contacts and the image given? In this sense, the age of social media and Internet have really given the power to the individuals as they can communicate the image and brand they want and the recruiter is responsible to ensure authenticity of the applicant (Berthon et al., 2012; Labrecque, 2013).
Privacy matters – or does it?
This is connected to the push that is coming from the recruiters, as 93 % of recruiters are using social media to find suitable candidates (Jobvite, 2014). Social media has become a standard that has to be followed in order to succeed in the job search (McMullen, 2015).
In most job applications there is nowadays a possibility that allows employees to use already existing information from social media accounts such as LinkedIn, Facebook or even Twitter to pre-fill the information about themselves (McMullen, 2015). While this is a fast and functional feature, there is a down side to it, granting rights to companies to use information from your social media accounts (Vaccaro, 2014).
Is convenience becoming more valuable than privacy in todays Internet based world? According to Statista (n.d) 64 % of global Internet users are concerned of their privacy in the Internet. Yet, results of survey do not go together with the actions that are taken, as 83 % of respondents would use Facebook as their main social media to apply for job positions, while only 36 % stated that they would use LinkedIn (Kasper, 2014). In other words, most of the job searchers are communicating their personal brands in wrong medias, while they are offering access to vast amount of very personal information that can in the worst-case work against the applicant.
However, this is not always the case as 29% of employers state that finding something positive directed them to hire the candidate (Smith, 2013). Show casing that the social media is not always working against you, but in your favor as well. But how much the employer knows about you after all? You can assume that they know a lot, based on the image and impression that you have given to them via social media.
For this reason, there are ethical requirements on both sides. As an applicant, there should be an aim to build an impression that is truthful, yet protecting your privacy. It should disclose only amount of information that as an individual feel comfortable. On the other hand as a recruiter there are demands to conduct the process ethically, keeping the privacy of information found in mind. The main goal should not be finding as much dirt as possible, but instead to find information relevant for the position, while having the notion of an individual with rights in mind.
In a nutshell
Like it or not, the personal branding has come to stay and job searchers need to adapt to this new environment. This means that one can build an outstanding personal brand in the virtual world by using the tools that the age of Internet has offered to us. In this case, there should be careful consideration about what kind of content is shared in the social media, where it is shared and how much information is offered to the networks. More importantly this information should be flowing like a storyline through social media displaying authenticity and coherence.
However, there is also an alternative way to stand out in the crowd. As more and more people engage in creating their personal brand solely in the social media, utilizing the personal and humane methods of the past could serve also as a means to stand out and showcase our brand in a more personalized way. Social media and Internet can provide help to us in many ways in our job search, but the basics of traditional communication should not be forgotten.

Finally we're soaking up some hot summer days and warm nights! The late summer fruit on the peppers, eggplant and tomatoes are getting a chance to ripen up. This week you'll get your fill of tomatoes:) The cucumbers are fully on and squash are just slowing down as some have powdery mildew, a a mold that usually sets in a bit later. We'll have fruit for another month, just a bit less. I did the first weeding of fall crops on the brussel sprouts and rutabaga. it was nice to have my hands in the wet dirt again amidst harvest season. Lots of roots, greens,broccolli and cabbage for the late season CSA. Yesterday we direct seeded mezclun mix, radish, mild mustard, raab, arugula and daikon. …I could almost taste them as I planted. All of the crops are growing well and ahead of the weeds, however the water grass that has been a challenge to farm with, is about to seed. Just one grass plant will drop hundreds of seeds. We're trying to find the time to pop the heads. This week we've been a bit short-handed because volunteers are out of town and getting married, but help comes just at the right time. I've called some friends and volunteers and am amazed at the support and community. It will be two consecutive weekends I'm out of town and different volunteers are happily farm sitting. Thank you. It is a community growing our food!
This week's box:
Tomatoes – all kinds of heirloom varieties
Sweet Pepper
Squash – jkljk
Green Beans – SE and Sellwood
Potatoes – New russet
Onion – Alisa craig spicy and sweet!
Chard/Kale bunch
Caprese Salad with Cucumbers
Melanie's recipe

- Sliced cucumbers
- 1 pound fresh mozzarella , 1/4-inch thick slices OR daiya cheese vegan option
- 20 to 30 leaves (about 1 bunch) fresh basil
- extra virgin olive oilfor drizzling
- Coarse salt and pepper
Layer alternating slices of tomatoes,cucumbers and mozzarella, adding a basil leaf between each, on a large, shallow platter. Drizzle the salad with extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Roasted Potatoes, Onions, and Wilted Greens
- 1 pound small red potatoes (each about 1 inch in diameter)

Serve dish warm or at room temperature
Roasted Eggplant & Feta Dip
From EatingWell: September/October 2008
This roasted eggplant and feta dip gets a kick from a fresh chile pepper and cayenne pepper. There are countless variations on this classic meze (appetizer) in Greece. Out-of-season eggplant or eggplant that has been heavily watered often has an abundance of seeds, which make the vegetable bitter. Be sure to taste the dip before you serve it; if it's a touch bitter, you can remedy that with a little sugar. Serve with toasted pita crisps.
12 servings, about 1/4 cup each
- 1 medium eggplant, (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, preferably Greek
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small chile pepper, such as jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of sugar, (optional)
- Position oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler.
- Line a baking pan with foil. Place eggplant in the pan and poke a few holes all over it to vent steam. Broil the eggplant, turning with tongs every 5 minutes, until the skin is charred and a knife inserted into the dense flesh near the stem goes in easily, 14 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.
- Put lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scrape the flesh into the bowl, tossing with the lemon juice to help prevent discoloring. Add oil and stir with a fork until the oil is absorbed. (It should be a little chunky.) Stir in feta, onion, bell pepper, chile pepper (if using), basil, parsley, cayenne and salt. Taste and add sugar if needed.

[Listen] Jay-Z Discusses 'Watch The Throne' Tour, Responds To Indie Record Stores In Interview w/ Hot 97
You're late for a meeting so you decide to pop into Hot 97 to conduct an impromptu interview with Angie Martinez of Hot 97. In the interview Jay-Z touches on numerous topics, including the supposed fall out between Kanye and himself. Most interestingly he touches on the open letter that a bunch of Record Stores sent out last week, and the response is valid I guess. We live in a modern age in which we can turn on this magic box, enter a search query and within a millisecond have what we want. Music leaks daily and Jay said that they didn't work this hard for 8 months for it to leak, and that's why it's solely being released on iTunes firstly: "We took great care to make sure it's not leaking at all". The interview is an interesting listen and you can check it out below in full and thanks to Hypetrak for upping the interview.
Watch the Throne out on August the 8th with a large US tour going on later this year to boot. Dates are up in the air but go onsale tomorrow after already being pushed back.

Beach Hut 24
It's the 24th December and we're at the end of our Advent countdown to Christmas.
Hut 79a was our last destination and the hour we spent there from 5.30pm - 6.30pm was the final countdown to the special day.
Throughout December a special clock has followed us around to every hut. It featured 24 numbers instead of the usual 12 and the short hand stayed static pointing at the date that we were on. The long hand always counted down our hour on the beach.
That clock took over the whole hut tonight and not only marked the time for us but also entertained us with music and song on the theme of Love came down at Christmas. We listened to the song as played by Jars of Clay which you can watch here.
We were also treated to a great version of the nativity based on Bohemian Rhapsody called Bethlehemian Rhapsody.
Once the clock had chimed the hour we had a short reading about the wise me and the gifts they brought for Jesus and reflected on the gift of Jesus given to the world on that first Christmas.
Everyone got given a small gift box to take home and open on Christmas Day with things in it which you cannot buy, including a little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.
Then we had the draw for the Bill's hamper as seven people has managed to get to every single hut through the month.
This went to Steve and Karen which seemed very appropriate as Karen is due to give birth herself in January. We wish them both joy in their new family life together.
That brings the 2012 Beach Hut Advent Calendar to a close. We hope you have a merry and blessed Christmas and that the gifts you receive will remind you of God's gift of love.

Sweetness Bake Shop & Cafe who also run the Sugar Rush Truck have added doughnuts to its arsenal of sweet creations. The doughnuts will also be available on the truck occasionally as they were this past Friday at Tamiami Park. It seems as if they are testing out different flavors daily since there was a Lucky Charms doughnut when I was there that I hadn't seen on their Facebook page.
And whoever that slickster was who called in to buy up all the Maple Bacon Doughnuts right front under my nose before I had ordered mine, better luck next time. I got mine! I sat down with a Cafe con Leche and enjoyed my Maple Bacon and Glazed doughnuts. I think most folks will go for the different flavor combinations but I'll stick to my glazed thank you very much since it's fucking delicious.
Btw, where's the Guayabera doughnut Sweetness folks (Guava & Cream Cheese cupcake flavor they're known for) ?

In an article called "In higher education, lessons in equality," the Washington Post reports that at two local public universities, Towson and George Mason, the graduation gap between minority and non-minority students has disappeared. This is noteworthy because elsewhere the gap is large. It is 19 points at the University of Michigan, 22 points at the University of Wisconsin, and 24 points of the University of Colorado. Top private colleges also have small but measurable gaps (the Post cites Harvard and Dartmouth). And nationally, the graduation rate for minority students is less than 50 percent.
The most effective way to end the graduation gap is to admit a minority student body that is as qualified for the college in question as its majority counterpart — that is, admit students based on merit alone, without regard to race or ethnicity. Indeed, this is almost certainly the only way to substantially eliminate the gap at top state universities like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Colorado.
The Post hints at this reality, noting that Towson focuses on admitting minority students who earn good grades at good public schools. But the Post never mentions the impact of race-based admissions on graduation rates. Yet, logic tells us that as long as universities lower their admissions standards for minority applicants, the graduation gap will persist. Analysis I have seen of the California university system tends to confirm this rather obvious reality.
The problem can be mitigated at a given college by giving greater weight to grades than to test scores – in other words, insisting that minority applicants have grade point averages comparable to white applicants and granting most of the preferential treatment when it comes to SAT scores. This strategy works because grades seem to be a much better predictor of likelihood of graduation than board scores.
But this approach is unlikely to work across an entire state school system. In Texas, under George W. Bush, the flagship state university began admitting students who were in the top 10 percent of their class. This approach was a boon for students who got good grades at schools where the population was predominantly minority. And it may explain why the University of Texas apparently isn't up there with Michigan, Wisconsin, and Colorado on the graduation gap list.
But the University of Texas' approach will dry up the supply of minority students with good grades for state colleges further down the food chain. Thus, whatever college is Texas' equivalent of Towson University will probably be unable to accomplish what Towson has done with repect to graduation rates.
It's great to see attention being paid to minority graduation rates. Now if we could only pay attention to the rather large gorilla in the room that is contributing so substantially to the graduation gap.

This Week's Awesome List!/
Happy Easter Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and holiday.
I certainly enjoyed spending time with my family out of town, and eating lots – LOTS – of delicious food. My mom's version of "Angeled" Eggs (see mine, here) and the big platter of fruit (thanks, Grandma!) were my unrivaled favorites of the day.
As much of a blessing as it was to be able to focus on very important stuff (I'm talking about family, of course, not food… as important as good food is!) I didn't get a chance to sneak in any work over the weekend like I normally do. Hence, no new recipes ready to go, no posts waiting in the wings for Monday morning.
So here I am, on Monday morning, thinking about what I'd like to put out into the world today. Well, I think the answer is obvious: Something that I like. Hey, I can do that!
Personally, I've always been a fan of happy little "favorites" lists on other blogs. It gives me the opportunity to learn about the blogger (whose quirkily-awesome personality usually comes out more in such posts); find out about other awesome blogs or websites I didn't know about; discover workouts, recipes, outfits, etc. I'd never seen; and learn about sweet products I hadn't yet tried, from an opinion I valued, without forking over any money of my own.
Perhaps you'll really enjoy this list, and it shall forthwith be a weekly staple of my blog. Most likely, at least for now, I'll spend a week or two collecting a journal of personal favorites, and give you a really awesome List of Awesome once or twice a month.
I'm excited about today's, anyway, so let's get into it! But first: Two questions. If you respond in the comments, I'll love you forever – and, let me tell you, that's a pretty big deal.
Question 1: What was your favorite part of the weekend, and if it was the food, what kind was it?
Question dos: Give me one of YOUR favorite things! I really want to know about more awesome stuff.
P.S. This isn't a sponsored post. Today, I'm just sharing things I love with you!
FitCakes {First} Awesome List
Quest Chips.
I tried Quest Chips for the first time, recently, and I'm a little freaked out by how much I'm into them. I was very skeptical of these protein chips before I tried them. But now I can tell you: They're really truly delicious, and they taste like real chips!
So here's the thing: I'm not a huge snacker, and I don't like to munch mindlessly (it used to be an issue with me and giant boxes of cereal?) but sometimes I'll still get a little nuts for things like popcorn. If I'm really craving something salty and crunchy, I can get into the popcorn like nobody's business. Unfortunately, for me, I don't always stop while I'm ahead, and this can cause gassiness and bloating. (Sorry – it's just true!)
With Quest Chips and their perfectly pre-portioned packages, I'm able to satisfy that need for salty and crunchy, without overdoing it. It's definitely a bonus for me that they are baked, low-fat, low-carb, and high in satisfying + muscle-feeding protein. (If I'm going to snack, I like to feel that it's something fairly good for my body!)
The only thing is, they better not come out with full-sized bags, or I might have a problem with eating too much protein! And, my friend, it's still better not to overdo it with any kind of snack, no matter what kind.
Tuesday Yoga.
You know, twisty, bendy, stand-on-one-leg-and-try-not-to-fall yoga. I love it. It's what makes Tuesday nights the best.
For the last couple months, I've been really into taking this yoga class at my local LA Fitness. My wonderful instructor and friend, Ariel (@arielbowlin on Instagram) always makes the workout challenging but rejuvenating. Which is basically the essence of yoga. Just like I tell everyone as I'm evangelizing about the benefits of yoga, it makes you work and move in ways you didn't know you could. It's one of the best ways to cross-train… with anything else.
You cycle? Stretch your lower half and work your upper bod in yoga. You lift? Find muscle balance, recover through stretching, and mentally unwind in yoga. You sit a lot? Get your rear into gear, already, and get thee to a yoga class! Sitting makes you way stiff and un-bendy. Which is not good for anyone.
Monday Cycling.
I've been teaching cycling for three years now. Holy beans, that's a long time. I actually started teaching that class after only taking two myself. The first class I took was a beginner's class, about 35 minutes long, and it nearly killed me. Well… it felt like it, anyway. The second one was the training class that taught me how to be an instructor.
After that, the new club that I was supposed to start at opened… so I had to jump right in and have a stab at it myself. And I started telling jokes and stories during class to stave off of some of my awkwardness.
That was my Monday night class. I've been teaching that class now for three. years. I've taken more classes since then, from some wonderful instructors, and grew to love the format.
Anyway, long story not as long, that Monday night class is my absolute favorite class of all time. (Hey, class, are you reading this?) We always get a good workout in, and it's way fun – think HIIT x club dancing (minus the actual dancing) x outdoors adventure (minus the allergies). Sometimes we even have class parties complete with costumes and healthy FitCakes treats.
Final statement: If you haven't yet tried a cycling class, try it! If you live in Tucson… come try mine!
Pink workout gear.
As a child, I was really not into pink. I had anything but pink clothes – that was my sister's thing. Besides, I was already a small, blonde, girl-child, and I felt that wearing pink would only be one more count against me in terms of people taking me seriously.
Flash forward to about a year or two ago, when my husband tells me he actually likes me in pink, and I almost simultaneously receive several pink workout accessories. Well, I suppose at this point I've come to terms with being small and blonde, and I'm no longer a child, so I give in. What the heck… I could wear some pink!
Since then, I've managed to collect a lot of matching pink things. You know, to compliment what I already had. But, to tell the truth, the color has really grown on me! I figure, as I deadlift, bench press, and curl more than most small blonde girls in the gym, you should already take me seriously… and maybe I like the irony of looking a little extra girly. And maybe it just means you shouldn't judge a book by its cover!
P.S. I complete the look by using a little Hello Kitty notebook as my workout log, so I can mark down my 90 pound bench presses and 165 pound dead lifts.
Don't forget! I have questions for you. I'd loooove it if you shout back at me with your answers!
Question 1: What was your favorite part of the weekend, and if it was the food, what kind was it?
Question dos: Give me one of YOUR favorite things! I really want to know about more awesome stuff.

Duck fat chips
Serves 4
100g sea salt
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
4 medium Maris Piper potatoes
2 litres vegetable oil
1 litre duck fat
1 Scatter the sea salt onto a flat baking tray, pour over the vinegar and mix together, then place in a low oven (roughly 110C/Gas ¼) for 90 minutes, or until dry.
2 Cut the potatoes into batons (1 x 1 x 10cm). In a fryer or large pot, heat the oil to about 120C/Gas ½ – this should cook the potatoes, but not brown them. Place the batons in the oil and blanch for 8-10 minutes, or until almost cooked through; transfer to kitchen paper. Heat the duck fat to 180C/Gas 4, then add the chips for around 5 minutes, or until golden brown –…

Client: Constellation Beer Brands Division, Corona Extra
Type: Social Media Design
Role: Art Director, Designer
Just as New Year's Eve has the famed ball drop tradition in Times Square, we made Cinco De Mayo its own ritual with the Corona Extra #LimeDrop. Together with fans on social, we helped Corona Extra count down to the most Cinco time of year, 5:55pm on 5/5. Through branded social posts leading up to May 5th, we encouraged fans to share their unique lime drop photo with @CoronaExtraUSA on Instagram or Twitter using #LimeDrop. A number of influencers, including former NFL coach Jon Gruden, and former Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul "practiced" their lime drop skills on video, sharing and inspiring fans around the country to be creative with their own #LimeDrop.
So what happened on Cinco? The team set up a "Social Response Lab," spending the night 'Cinco-ifying' all of the UCG #Limedrop fan photos. Corona Extra became trending on Facebook. Because of the amount of #LimeDrop posts coming in, our team of designers had about six minutes each to spit out a custom-designed response. Each UCG design was unique; no two were alike. The new Cinco-designed post was then sent back to the #LimeDrop participant as a thank you for joining on the fun, engaging a one-on-one interaction with the brand.
Responsible for overseeing the creative team to create and concept brand posts and custom photography shot in-house. I was also responsible for creating the overall Cinco visual language including brand lock-ups, iconography, social brand posts, and social skins. Finally, I planned, coordinated, and managed the group of designers during the Social Response Lab, approving all posts that went live.
Between April 21 and May 9, content sought to drive participation in celebrating Cindo de Mayo and association of Corona Extra with the holiday. The Lime Drop campaign reached a total of 15.3MM Users and generated 2.4MM Engagements and 59.7MM Impressions on Facebook & Instagram.

A Dangerous Method
Directed By: David Cronenberg
Written By: Christopher Hampton, based on his play The Talking Cure, adapted from the novel A Most Dangerous Method by John Kerr
Starring: Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortenson, Kiera Knightly, and Vincent Cassell
Director of Photography: Peter Suschitzky, Editor: Ronald Sanders, Production Designer: James McAteer, Original Music: Howard Shore
Rated: R for psychoanalytical perversions
Read an interview with David Cronenberg, Christopher Hampton, and Michael Fassbender from the New York Film Festival
Cinema and psychoanalysis have a long history together, as the new technology and the striking new school of thought both began and evolved during the turn of the 20th century. And since the 1970s, psychoanalysis has been used in film theory to explore cinema in new light, where characters once thought to be crazy are instead explored within their Freudian terms of wanting to return the womb or whatnot (Classic Hollywood seems ripe with metaphors for sex looking back).
So what can we infer about the makers of psychoanalysis? That certainly sounds like an interesting question for David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method, a stately and often involving piece on the history of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, as well as the woman that changed everything. On first appearances, Mr. Cronenberg, known for his more graphically violent films from Videodrome and A History of Violence, might seem like the wrong choice for this imperial work from screenwriter Christopher Hampton (adapting his own play The Talking Cure, which was adapted from the book A Most Dangerous Method by John Kerr). But thematically, this is a work through and through by Mr. Cronenberg, who explores how an idea, the psychological, can transform, disfigure, and infect the body.
The film is though, very much a talking piece, where the script lingers more than Mr. Cronenberg's orderly and subtle approach to the work (those looking for directorial touches will certainly notice the way the director carefully constructs each composition with nuance, even if things aren't exploding or bleeding). And with such dialogue, it is the performances that must carry the film, most notably Kiera Knightly's intensely hysterical performance as Sabina Spielrein. Sabina comes to Jung's care with a manic and uncontrollable body, as well as a horde of secrets waiting to be uncovered. Jung, played by the controlled and very astute Michael Fassbender, decides to take Sabina as his first patient to use the "talking cure" he's heard so much about from Sigmund Freud (a hammy Viggo Mortenson).
As Ms. Knightly withers her body in ways that seem inhumanly possible, most notably her unhinged jaw, Mr. Cronenberg keeps the camera extremely restrained and in line with Jung's calm and collected investigation into Sabina's past. As he begins to make progress though, he can't help but involve himself in her personal life, as Sabina learns to become a psychoanalyst herself. Jung also engages with Freud (always smoking on a large phallic cigar) through a series of conversations and letters where they discuss their method of psychoanalysis, Jung hoping to explore the more supernatural side of the ego, with Freud hoping to stay strictly in the sexual.
Despite the gorgeous work by Mr. Cronenberg, who keeps the frames in neatly order, even during the film's not exactly graphic but still shocking S&M sequences, A Dangerous Method lacks any sense of narrative momentum or even intrigue. The limitations derrive from Mr. Hampton's script, which is highly accurate (using much of the actual lines from the journals and letters of the three leads), but only pulsates instead of really throwing us in deep. The conversations between Jung and Freud will entice people interested in psychoanalysis, but are simply too stately to give a real sense of their shifting rivalry and ignore the real desires behind them. Additionally, Mr. Fassbender and Mr. Mortenson are a little too restrained in their conversations that put on that dry feeling that you follow their words but not their motivations, and the romance between Mr. Fassbender and Ms. Knightly comes through in the actions of the script, but rarely in the passion they show for each other. So when Vincent Cassell shows up as a ferocious and impulsive psychoanalyst his angry and ferocious performance, which might spell the themes of the film a little too easily, is a big wake up call for the film.
The problem, which may be blasphemous by some, slightly lays in the characterization of Jung, as well as Mr. Fassbender's cold and calculated performance. Jung is seen as a man who is both aware of his impulses but knows how to control them, and even when he does give in, still seems cold. There's no thrill of neither the work nor the romance in Mr. Fassbender, who has been such a thrill of an actor to watch in Hunger, Fish Tank, and even X-Men: First Class. Under the direction of Mr. Cronenberg, Mr. Fassbender lets control win over something more organic where his stately presence gives A Dangerous Method sucks the intrigue out of the film.
Of course, restraint is the point, and Mr. Cronenberg's worlds have often dealt with the chaos of new technologies destroying the control of the body. In a way, A Dangerous Method is most closely related to Mr. Cronenberg's Videodrome with the idea of discussing repression replacing the consumption of media, as both take over and urge the body in unexpected ways. In A Dangerous Method, however, restraint wins in the end, and while the film is a fascinating examination of the early history of psychoanalysis, it's a limited one that keeps its audience restrained as well, afraid of the impulses it might unleash if our true repression is revealed.

Ford Five Hundred/Mercury Montego
walterquint Posts: 89You can't really compare the Edge/MKX performance of the 3.5L to the same engine in the 2008 Taurus. Those vehicles are SUVs, at least 400 lbs heavier than the Taurus sedan.
That said, I don't think the 3.5L will be a quantum leap over the 3.0 Duratec. The prices on leftover 500s are phenomenal, utter steals.
Regardless, the 500 is the most splendid sedan available. Huge room, good handling, decent economy, unmatched safety. It stuns me that they don't sell well. It covers all the performance bases--so what's the problem???
Why do so many people shop the Ford store and drive out with an ancient Crown Vic?? Why would anyone buy a 4cyl Camry when a leftover 500 is priced less??? :confuse:0
I own an '06 Five Hundred that is a company car. Let me tell you that it is one boring design to look at. In addition, the CVT tranny takes some real getting use to.
I also wonder about fuel economy with the CVT since if you really put your foot in to it (like you need to do with the 3.0) the motor revs are real high for what seem an extended amount of time.
Just my thoughts.0
jaxs1 Posts: 2,697The exterior styling of the Five Hundred wasn't very good and now the 2008 Taurus has gone from plain to gaudy with all the chrome add-ons.
This car isn't what people want and they are probably working hard at a complete redesign in a few years.
They should probably get rid of both the Taurus and Crown Victoria in a couple years and come out with a new rear-drive sedan that replaces both. There is no need for two Ford full-size sedans.
At least Ford is having better luck with the Fusion even if it is not a contender to outsell the Camry and Accord.0
I completely agree Jaxs1.
Well said.0
donl1 Posts: 112I had a 05' AWD LTD Five Hundred for about a year and put almost 20K miles on it and it was all around disappointing.0
There are reasons that evreyone doesn't share your assessment of the 500 as the "most splendid" sedan: to amny it is plain-to-almost-homely looking, the mileage isn't anything to write home about, lots of road noise, cheap looking interior, way bigger than some people want, no stability control available, no optional engine. It's safety rating is only good with the side airbags. Now, the Taurus has fixed some of those things, but it has still a plain to awkward shape adn profile.
Splendid is in the eye of the beholder. If you find it splendid, then you will get a darn good buy.0
pnewby Posts: 277Safety is only good with the side airbags? Where did that come from. It has always had a "best" rating from both testing groups, even without the side airbags on the earlier models.0
Nope. Check again. One group said the side bags were required for a good rating. The other didn't. Look it up. In any event, it is moot now, as they are standard on the Taurus.0
jackrabbit1 Posts: 1Dvd drive motor not initializing - would need to replace unit or rebuild unit. My car has 43,756 miles on it. I spent $1600.00 on this luxury item new and they want $600.00 to replace a dvd drive motor! Dealer tells me you should have bought the extended warranty and I tell him, Do you think I'll buy another car off of you! Where can I buy a new dvd drive motor ? I'll put in myself ! Thank you for your time and imput! :lemon:0
patrickposey Posts: 8IF I'M correct ford have another company make those radios when i go to work tuesday i'll find out who makes them and also check ebay too.0
kinkyangel Posts: 12Good thing we aren't all the same and want the same cookie cutter car. I loved my 05 LTD when I got it in 05. Still in love today. Haven't had any mechanical problems. Engine is more than adequate even in Dallas rush hour traffic. The room and comfort are superb. I get great service from my local FLM dealership. Though mostly it's just LOF & tire rotations. MPG have been great for a large sedan. {23 mixed and 28 hwy.} And I don't see umpteen dozen of them when I'm parked in a large parking lot somewhere. Usually making it easier to find my own.
slider7 Posts: 33Purchased July 17 2006, Limited FWD 0,0% $1,000 cash back. Today has about 26,750 miles since new. Synthetic Oil changes - 5. Replacement air filters - 3. Tire Rotation -once at 22,000 / second time will be at about 44,000 along with it's first four wheel alignment. Project tire replacement in four more years. Has never been back to any dealer since sold, no problems whatsoever. Will have Sears replace rear brakes next month with ceramics and oil change and update inspection sticker. Tire pressure is 38psi all around, "New Finish" wax on all exterior paint and glass, flat highway cruise at 70 mph is 31.8 mpg in that bullet-proof Porsche designed 3.0 V6 quattrovalve bolted to a Toyota 6 speed tranny in a Volvo platform. A real creampuff!0
The 6 speed transmission is a good one. I had a 500 with the CVT transmission. It was a piece of junk.0
Don't they recommend tire rotation every 5k to 10k miles?0
coldcranker Posts: 877"...Toyota 6 speed tranny ..."
Isn't the 6-speed in the 500/Mtgo an Aisin brand? (Not to be confused with the 6-speed in the current Taurus which is a Ford/GM joint brand.) I know Toyota is a 30% shareholder in Aisin, but Aisin transmissions go into many worldwide cars/trucks and that company is run independently of Toyota. Aisin started by stealing a bunch of tech from Borg-Warner years ago, not Toyota.

I currently own an 08 Fusion SE 4 cyl with 80k miles. I am tempted to trade in for an 05 Five Hundred Limited FWD with 70k miles. Price wise, I will end up paying $1k more for the Five Hundred. Should I even consider this? The idea for doing this is for room. I am 6 ft 4 in, 300 lbs, and while I fit in the Fusion, I know the Five Hundred will be more comfortable. I drive 30k miles a year for work, and comfort is a huge plus. My Fusion has been really reliable.
Some things I am concered about:
1. The actual value of the Five Hundred, I am wondering if the Five Hundred should actually be an upgrade in price (mainly because it is 3 years older)
2. Reliability - Will the Five Hundred run up to 200k miles with little extra cost (other than regular maintenance)0
Have you driven the Five Hundred? While it has a bigger trunk and rear seat area than the Fusion, the drivers area is a little cramped. The Fusion may be more comfortable for the driver. You do sit higher in the Five Hundred which gives you better visibility front and rear0
I'm going to drive it tomorrow. I guess I will see about the driver's area. It looks like on comparing dimensions, leg room is .5 inches shorter on the Five Hundred, but every other dimension is much larger.0
definately much more comfortable than my Fusion, but the one I test drove had a transmission problem, so I passed. Suppose to test drive an AWD tomorrow, but I'm not sure after reading several boards about the transmission, a/c compressor, and brake problems, I think I might stick with my Fusion.0
lifter132 Posts: 12007 Montego 6 speed trans. 31,000 miles. Transmission shifts into higher gears to soon. Engine tends to lug at lowwer speeds, gas milage gone as I have to down shift to soon. Love the 6 speed, gets 30mpg at interstate speeds. Anyone had this problem.
vols44 Posts: 3I've got 49k on a 2005 Montego with the same transmission problems. I've read TSB 06-11-4 and a lot of my symptoms coincide with the bulletin. I'm going to take it to the dealer this Friday (still under an extended warranty) and see what they think.
The vibrations in low rpm speeds have gotten noisier to the point of annoyance.0

A few weeks after Facebook started allowing us to use a security key to log in to its platform, WhatsApp is bringing two-step verification to its app.
The feature – which WhatsApp started beta-testing towards the end of 2016 – is now live to all users. It allows them to create six-digit codes to verify their phone numbers (WhatsApp works with your phone number anyway) or use a recovery email address instead. To enable two-step verification, all you have to do is open WhatsApp, go to your Account Settings, and turn it on.
Following this, you can then also add an email address to use as a backup. If you are unable to access the six-digit passcode that you had set up, you can use this email to disable the two-step verification. If you want to use this option, you will need to make sure you use the right email address, as WhatsApp will "not verify this email address to confirm its accuracy." If, for any reason, you entered the wrong email, you will have a problem.
WhatsApp says that you need to be vigilant about receiving an email to your backup email address to "disable two-step verification," and that "if you did not request this, do not click on the link. Someone could be attempting to verify your phone number."
Also, it's important to remember that "if you have two-step verification enabled, your number will not be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp within seven days of last using WhatsApp without your passcode." If you forget you passcode but haven't added a backup email address, WhatsApp says that you "will not be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp within seven days of last using WhatsApp." You can reverify after those seven days, but you will loose all messages in that timeframe.
However, once you have selected a passcode, WhatsApp will help you remember it – by asking you to enter it once in a while. You won't be able to disable this, without disabling two-step verification.

Washington, D.C., voters will get the chance to weigh in on marijuana legalization at the polls this November. The D.C. Board of Elections unanimously voted Wednesday to include legalization of recreational marijuana on November ballots.
If passed, the initiative would allow individuals over 21 years old to possess up to two ounces of marijuana and would permit cultivation of up to six plants at home. The ballot question does not address the sale of marijuana; the city council is considering a separate bill that would tax and regulate marijuana.
A majority of District residents – 63 percent – support pot legalization, according to a Washington Post poll released in January.
Until earlier this year, possession of even a small amount of marijuana in DC carried a $1,000 fine and a stint in jail up to six months. On March 31, Mayor Vincent Gray signed legislation decriminalizing possession of less than one ounce of marijuana. Under the new law, possession of less than one ounce carries a civil penalty of $25 – less than most parking tickets.
Colorado became the first state in the union to allow retail sale of recreational marijuana on Jan. 1. Pro- and anti-legalization advocates have been watching the Rocky Mountain State as the proverbial guinea pig for the nation.
In the first five months of legal pot sales, the state collected an additional $23.6 million in taxes and fees, showing that there could be an economic benefit to bringing sales out of the black market and into the taxable economy.
At the same time, however, Colorado has seen an increase in the number of marijuana-related medical emergencies since legalization. The state has struggled to figure out how to keep edible products that include marijuana and frequently come in the form of candy and baked goods out of the hands of children. The jury is still out on whether stricter regulation of pot and pot-infused food products can adequately reduce those complications.
Recreational marijuana is also legal in Washington State, though with just one month of retail sales under its belt, the state has yet to quantify the societal effects of legalization.
So far, 17 states have decriminalized marijuana and 35 states allow for some degree of medicinal use, according to NORML, a marijuana-reform lobbying group. Marijuana legalization will also appear on ballots in Alaska and Oregon in November.
Many in the decriminalization and pro-legalization camps have framed their argument as a civil rights issue because blacks tend to be arrested on marijuana charges more frequently than people of other races. Across the country, blacks are 3.7 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than people of other races, an American Civil Liberties Union report released in June showed. In Washington, D.C., that discrepancy is even more stark, with blacks facing arrest for pot at a rate eight times higher than other groups.
This report includes material from the Associated Press and Reuters.
