BRICS plan bank to fund infrastructure projects
As India resists Chinese upper hand, no agreement on capital as the five countries meet at the fifth BRICS summit in the South African port city of Durban. Varghese K George writes.india Updated: Mar 28, 2013 01:02 IST
India and four other countries in the BRICS formation at its fifth summit in the South African port city announced the setting up of a new international bank, but failed to arrive at a consensus regarding its details. The BRICS development bank will primarily fund infrastructure projects in member countries and other developing countries.
Significant among the contentious issues is the initial authorised capital – while China is keen to keep it at $100 billion and seek an upper hand by contributing a larger portion, India wants to keep it at $50 billion with equal contribution from all members.
The summit meeting of the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa concluded with the eThekwini Declaration, called so after the Zulu name for Durban. The declaration called for reforming the "global governance architecture", demanding in particular that the next director general of the IMF be from the developing world, and Russia and China supporting the aspiration of the other three to "play a larger role in the UN". Russia and China are already permanent members of the UN Security Council.
The declaration also announced the formation of a Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) amongst BRICS countries, a $100-billion fund to help the member nations tide over liquidity crunch. "This is more a precautionary measure," said finance minister P Chidambaram who met with counterparts from other BRICS countries to finalise the proposal. Forty one per cent of the fund will be from China; India, Brazil and Russia will pledge 18% each while South Africa will contribute 5%.
"The big idea that was announced in Delhi BRICS summit last year was the development bank. That is now a reality," Chidambaram said.
"Developing countries face challenges of infrastructure development due to insufficient long-term financing and foreign direct investment, especially investment in capital stock. This constrains global aggregate demand. BRICS cooperation towards more productive use of global financial resources can make a positive contribution to addressing this problem," the eThekwini declaration said.
The statement said the new bank would supplement the existing efforts of multilateral and regional financial institutions for global growth and development.
Chidambaram said issues regarding capital, membership and governance of the BRICS bank are still outstanding. "There is a lot of work to be done before the next summit in March 2014," the finance minister said. "BUt the leaders are enthusiatic about it and the issues will be sorted out."

Bombarded with the term Cloud. But what is Cloud again?
We are bombarded with the term Cloud some years now. But what is Cloud? I feel almost no longer taken seriously if I use the word Cloud. It is becomming a real buzzword, or not?! A lot of entrepreneurs sees Cloud computing as hype. All signs show that this virtual Cloud will not just blow over. No it's going to stay.
Recent figures from Microsoft show that small and medium sized organisations who already work in the cloud are very satisfied and this number is growing daily.
Basically it comes down to this; Cloud computing is a metaphor used by Technology or IT Services companies for the delivery of computing requirements as a service to a heterogeneous community of end-recipients. But that is just one definition! let's take another 'different' approach. Cloud Computing makes it possible for both small and large organizations and individual users to take space. The management, updates and application developments are owned by the provider of the Cloud Computing solution. In this way it is not necessary for users to own knowledge and hardware in our homes, there is a higher Performance achieved at reduced costs. Still Fuzzy? Probably because you still do not know exactly what you get.
Public cloud is not yet mature. Private cloud paves the way for public Cloud services. Until that time, they will be used in a hybrid manner. It will take years, perhaps decades, before the public Cloud is so mature that private Clouds are no longer required. The investments that companies make in private Clouds makes them easier to switch in future public Cloud services. For services which are keen to run in the Cloud, organizations must now consider what constitutes a private Cloud. Organizations must identify the service which fits within an (external) Cloud environment and which services require greater integration and should be closer to the company.
That said, it seems we talking about services. Cloud is a lot, It's not just one thing. Google apps, Hotmail, Mozy, Zimbra, Office365 are Cloud services too. We use these applications for many years now without probably knowing these are Cloud services too. Each of these services is translated into a functional requirement from within an organization. If you already have to renew or migrate that's your starting point in my opinion. Find out what businesses would fit a Cloud solution and come up with an organization-wide cloud initiative.
There are three types (with differences in level of flexibility for the user):
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Software as a Service (SaaS)
Virtualization is the catalyst for Cloud, since it's the enabling technology allowing the creation of an intelligent abstraction layer which hides the complexity of underlying hardware or software. Virtualization enables different operating systems to share the same hardware and make it easy to move operating systems, all while the applications are running. Virtualization enables flexibility and agility. Start converge your traditional data center to a more Virtual Data Center and extension to Cloud infrastructure. While doing this do not lose sight how business processes and services requirements will impact a Virtual Data Centers in preparation for Cloud planning and design.
So, Cloud is more a collective name for various business services. Create a portfolio of your services. Devise a strategy for business services and private cloud. Make it clear what opportunities exist for your company when cloud computing becomes popular if this has not been already. Set an overall Cloud strategy for your company and final form a team that investigates what the wishes of the company and the possibilities of cloud vendors are.
Cloud is not one thing!

Geographic Edition software uses heartbeats to monitor the state between partner clusters. Heartbeats are sent over the public network to detect cluster failures at geographically separated sites. Heartbeat monitoring is part of a partnership configuration. For example, a cluster failure occurs when all nodes of a cluster shut down. Geographic Edition software uses the heartbeat status to notify administrators of failures or to trigger a failover to a secondary cluster at an alternate site. Heartbeats could also be lost when a cluster loses access to the public network and no communication occurs between the partner clusters.
The heartbeat monitor uses plug-in modules to query the heartbeat status of its partners. Geographic Edition software offers default plug-ins for monitoring through a TCP/UDP connection.
You can use customize plug-ins to provide a data path over alternate communication links, such as email, HTTP, satellite, and microwave towers.

tlie mortgagee should not suffer for any act or neglect of the mortgagor or owner of the property. Consequently, if the mortgagor obtained more insurance than he was entitled to, it was his own act, and could not affect the rights of the mortgagee: The fact that th'e 'policies were in the possession of the mortgagee did not make him a party in obtaining any excess of insurance which may have ex· isted. With respect to the Concord policy which the evidence tended to show was obtained by the mortgagee or plaintiff, trustee, we think the court was right in charging the jury that, if such insurance was taken out at the request of the mortgagor, it would be his act, and not the act of the trustee; and, further, if they believed it was the act of the trustee, and that at the ime of issuing such policy the whole amount of insurance then existing, including the policy in question, did not exceed the amount permitted, it could not invalidate his claim under this policy. Upon the whole, we can find no error in the court below, and it follows that the exceptions must be overruled, and judgment affirmed.

QQlllRAL REI'OJ;\T]l:R.
vol. 61. .
T;HA.YER, DiatrictJndge. was a suit brought by .EttaBevil and her three minor, children against .the Ardmore Ooal OompQ.nyon account of the death ofher husband,Henry Bevil,. who walJ killed while working for .the defendant company at its the Indian 'l'erritory.. The complaint averred, in sub· stance, .that as the deceased was engaged in loading one of the defendant's coal cars with lumber, at the mouth of a shaft or tunnel whi<!hbi!d.l into one of the company's coal mines, he was run over to the defendant,which had and. killed ,by another car been carelessly unlQosed from its :fastenings and suffered to run downatl'UDiway which led to the mouth of the shaft where the deceased: was working. The defendant company hadin its employ a man.by,the name of James Peers, who at the time of the accident was, and. ,for' one' day previously had been, engaged as a car rustler. His duties . appear to have consisted in hooking and unhooking a cable by means of which cars were drawn out of the mine or lowered into it.uTheshaft descended into the mine to a considerable depth, and at an angle of fllom 30 to 40 degrees. It was provided with a double-track railway or tramway, one of which tracks was used for drawing cars out of the mine and the other for lowering them into the mine. As we gatherfrom the testimony, it was the duty of the car rustler to stand on an elevator platforl:ll, at or near the . mouth of \the" shaft, and to detach the cable from loaded coal cars as they were drawn upon the elevatoJ' platform to be dumped, and to. attac9f cable to empty asthey were lowered into the mme. BeVIl" and Peers were eVIdently fellow servants, but the complaint charged as a ground for recovery that Peers was a careless and. reckless. man, that he was indifferent to the safety of his fellow employes; that the defendant company knew or might have known t;tIathe was an unfit.man to aetas a car rustler by reason of his habits of negligence, and that the death of the deceased was in fact occasioned by the careless conduct of said Peers at the time of the accident. Oonflningourselves to the points discussed in the briefs of coun· sel, it is necessary to refer briefly, and in the flrst instance, to the conten.tion of counsel "that in the Indian Territory no cause of action survives in favor of anybody for injuries which result in death." This proposition is based on a higl),ly technical construction of the act of congress of May 2, 1890 (Snpp. Rev. St. vol. 1, pp. 733, 734), which extended certain general laws of the state of Arkansas over the Indian Territory. Section 31 of that act declares:
"That oortain general laws of the state of Arkansas in force at the close of the session of the.gel)l!ral aSSE11llqly of that state of 1883, as published in 1884, in the volume kno)VD. as Mansfield's Digest of the Statutes of Arkansas, which are not loeally Inapplicable ol"in conftlct with this act or with any law of conrelating to ,tbe subjects specially mentioned in this section, are hereby extended over and put in force in the Ipdian Territory until congress shall othll!:wise provide, that is to say: The provisions of the said General Statutes of Arkansas relating to administration, chapter one," etc.
Then follow's a particularenumeratlon of: numerous other chapters of Mansfleld?s,Dtgest, embodying 'general1aws, which are referred to and described by the number of the chapters and the title thereof
ARDMORE COAL CO. fl. BEVIL.
as they are numbered and entitled in Mansfield's Digest publbhed in 1884. Because section 31 above quoted contains the phrase, "relating to the subjects specially mentioned in this section," it is argued that when a chapter of Mansfield's Digest is subsequently referred to by its number and title in the following manner, "Pleadings and Practice, chapter one hundred and nineteen," no provision found in such chapter is extended over the territory unless, upon a critical view of the provision, it is found to be properly classified as a law relating to pleading and practice. In other words it is insisted that congress did not intend to approve the classification which the learned author of the Digest had seen fit to make, or to adopt the several enumerated chapters of the Digest as a whole, but that it merely intended to exteud over the territory such provisions of law found therein as properly related to the subjects designated by the titles of the several enumerated chapters. It so happens that Lord Campbell's act, as re-enacted in the state of Arkansas, is section 5225 of chapter 119 of Mansfield's Digest, which chapter is entitled, "Pleadings and Practice," and it is contended that this section was erroneously classified under that title, as it does not relate to pleading and practice, and for that reason that the provisions contained in section 5225 were not extended over the Indian Territory by the act of congress aforesaid. We think that the process of reasoning by which the foregoing result is attained is alto.gether too technical and refined to deserve much consideration. We have had some difficulty in stating the contention in an intelligible form, as well as the substance of the argument by which counsel seek to enforce it; and this is perhaps a sufficient reason for rejecting the construction for which counsel contend. In construing a statute like the act of May 2, 1890, it is generally safe to reject an interpretation that does not naturally suggest itself to the mind of the casual reader, but is rather the result of a laborious effort to extract from the statute a meaning which it does not at first seem to convey. It is apparent, we think, that congress intended to extend over the Indian Territory all of the provisions that are found in the several chapters of Mansfield's Digest, which are enumerated in section 31 of the act of May 2, 1890, unless they were locally inapplicable, or were in conflict with the act of May 2, 1890, or with some other existing act of congress. The phrase, "relating to the subjects specially mentioned in this section," is tantamount to the expression, "hereafter more particularly mentioned and described in this section." Congress intended to put in force in the Indian Territory all of the general laws contained in the several chapters of Mansfield's Digest which are designated in section 31 of the act of May 2, 1890, by number and title. It certainly did not intend to make the existence or nonexistence of a law to depend upon the question whether it was published under a title which correctly indicated the character of the law. It follows, therefore, that no error was committed by the trial court in overruling the motion to exclude all testimony on the ground that the complaint did not state a cause of action.
vol. 61.
It assigned for error that the trial court erred in permitting, the following question to be propounded tp one D. H. Collier, who 'Was the father of, and .the principal witness for, the plaintiff Etta Bevil: "Did or not James Peers, jn operating the cars as car rustler,. act in a prudent or imprudent manner while he was operating the cars as car rustler for the Ardmore Coal Company?" The witness answered the question as follows: "He did not rustle 1;hem correctlY,and wa.s very imprudent." It is manifest, we think, after a careful perusal of the entire record, that there was .no evidence before the jury tending to show that Peers was a careless or reckless man except the testimony of Collier in the answerabove quoted; and ,it is also manifest that, in the absence of such testimony, there was no evidence to support the verdict for '12,000 which the jury eventually rendered against the defendant companyJ It must be conceded that the' judgment rests wholly upon the opinion expressed by Collier in reply to the question above mentioned. It may also be said that it appears from the uncon. tradicted 'evidence in the case that Peers had only served as a car rustler for one day previous to the accident, and that Bevil was injured early in the morning of the second day on '¥hich Peers served in that capacity. Moreover, we do not find any explicit testimony in the record 'showing for, what length of· time, if any, Collier had obserVed Peers' conduct as a car rustler, or that he had in fact had any opportunity to obseI!ve his conduct in that line of duty, except as itmay be inferted that he had had some opportunity from the fact that he assumed to express the aforesaid opinion. It does 'appear, however, that Collier, Bevil, and Peers had worked together in the shaft of the mine, in the discharge of varions duties, for about 15 daxs prior to the accident, and it is most probable, we think, that whatever opinion Collier had formed with reference to Peers' competency as a car rustler had been formed while Peers was employed in another and entirely different line of duty. It should be further observed that the evidence fails to show that the occupation of a car rustler was one requiring either a high degree of skill or .experience. On the contrary, it is evident, that the duties pertaining to thltt occupation were exceedingly simple, and that any commOn laborer possessing ordinary sense would be able to discharge them in an efficient manner. Under these circumstances, we are persuaded that the trial court erred in' overruling the defendant's objection to the above-mentioned queStion, and that such error is of sufficient importance to entitle the defendant company to a new trial. . We do not question .the general rule that witnesses may give their opinion concerning the general character of a person for prudence or carelessness, when an issue of that kind is raised by the pleadings. To avoid the trial of numerous collateral issues concerning the conduct of a person On particular occasions, it is competent for a witness to give the result of his observation of a person's general conduct, 'with .respect to his being negligent or otherwise, provided always that the witness has had a fall' opportunity to observe

his conduct. Frazier v·.Railroad Co., 38 Pa. ElL 104, 110; Gahagan v. Railroad Co., 1 Allen, 187,190; Railroad Co. v. Rambo, 8 C. C. A. 6, 59 Fed. 75. The rule in question, permitting -witnesses to give their opinion on such questions, rests largely upon grounds of convenience and necessity. But in the present case the question propounded was not framed with a view of eliciting an opinion from the witness as to whether Peers was generally, by disposition and habit, a careless person, and for that reason unfit to be trusted in the discharge of duties which required the exercise of care and discretion. The question had reference to his conduct in a particular line of duty, which he had only followed for one day prior to the accident. The witness was asked whether Peers acted in a prudent or imprudent manner as a car rustler, not whether he w,as generally a prudent or imprudent person. This question was also asked under circumstances which rendered it evident that the witness, at best, had only had a very meager opportunity to observe his conduct as a car rustler, and that he was probably a prejudiced witness in view of his relationship to the plaintiffs. Under these circumstances, Collier was practically permitted to say that, in his opinion, on the particular occasion when Bevil was hurt, Peers had acted in an imprudent manner, and to make this statement without detailing the facts upon which his opinion was predicated so that the jury might judge of its reliability. But, even if it be conceded that the question propounded was not objectionable because it confined the witness' attention to Peers' conduct in a particular line of duty and during a single day, rather than to his general character for prudence or imprudence, still it is ev.ident that no sufficient foundation was laid for permitting the witness to answer the question, even in the form in which it was propounded. Collier was not shown to have had a sufficient opportunity for observing Peers' actions while in charge of the car elevator to entitle him to pronounce judgment with reference to his general conduct in that line of service; Even if it should be conceded that the jury might infer from the fact that a coal car broke loose, rushed down the incline, and ran over Bevil, that it so broke loose through some culpable neglect of Peers, as to which propositio:Q. we express no opinion at this time, yet in the case at bar it was not sufficient to show that Peers was guilty of a single act of negligence that had resulted in the death of the deceased. It was necessary for the plaintiff to prove, or to produce testimony tending to prove, that Peers was an unfit person to be employed in the service in which he was engaged at the time of the accident, because of his careless or reckless habits, and that this fact was known to his employer, or that it ought to have been known. The only evidence offered tending to show that he was a careless man, and unfit to be so was the opinion expressed by Collier, and that was incompetent for the reasons heretofore stated. Wherefore the judgment must be reversed, and the cause remanded, with directions to award a new trial. It is so ordered.

Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two
This past weekend the world was in shock at the loss of fashion guru and mastermind Yves Saint Laurent. His designs have impacted the fashion world as we know it today. So rather than mourn his death, let's celebrate his life and what Yves Saint Lauent has brought us. I for one am a huge fan of YSL handbags. I have my eye set on the YSL Muse Two for a while now and feel like sharing my love for a design from YSL is a great way to show appreciation. The Yves Saint Laurent Muse Two sports an edgy, fun, and sophisticated style which is brought together by three fabrics: blue croc-embossed suede on the front, leather on the top flap and sides, and canvas trim on the sides. This is a laid back look with the perfect touches. There is goldtone hardware along with two side button closures and a middle lock. Dimensions are 15″W X 11″H X 6¾"D. This handbag exudes precisely what I loved about YSL. While the runway was filled with haute couture, the handbag line always appealed to me and my style. There was something casual yet timeless about his bag designs and they continue to show they are seasonless. Buy through Saks for $1895.

What is Religion?
Religion helps us Feel More Connected
What is religion? Religion is a set of beliefs and practices that bring people closer to God and feel more connected to others in the world.
What is Religion?—Religion Gives Purpose to Life
Religion helps us understand who we really are. It helps us know where we came from, why we're on earth and where we're going after we die. (Read more on the purpose of life.)
What is Religion?—Knowledge of a Savior
Religion helps us understand that there is a Savior of the world. That means that regardless of what mistakes we've made, if we repent we can return to God. Because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can change our lives and God will forgive us. When we come unto Christ and are baptized, all of our sins or wrongdoings are washed away, and we can start with a clean slate. Because of religion, many have changed their lives for good and made a difference in the world.

As we explore "What religion is" today, it is important to realize that that are more scriptures than just the Bible. Using the Bible alone, there have been many religions formed with many different types of doctrine or teachings. The New Testament teaches us about the birth of Christ and his teachings in Jerusalem and the old world. However, as evidenced in the legend of Quetzalcoatl, Jesus Christ also visited the ancient inhabitants of Latin America.
This legend was substantiated when gold plates that were found in 1823 in Palmyra New York. They contain the history of ancient prophets in the Americas—and information about their religion. They are the ancient Aztec, Maya and Inca. The plates were translated by a prophet of God and talk about how those native peoples arrived in the Americas—originally, they came from Jerusalem. As mentioned previously, they also talk about how Jesus Christ visited those people after he was crucified in Jerusalem.
One of the last ancient prophets in the Americas was named Mormon. The ancient record is now available for free and in called the Book of Mormon.
Through a prophet, God and Jesus Christ reestablished their church and true religion on the earth again in 1830. As doctrine, it uses teaching from the Bible, Book of Mormon and modern-day prophets.

I joined in the #dsma chat on Twitter the other night. I have been on the odd chat here and there on the internet and even a few that I thought went fast. Nope.
I tell ya straight up I have never seen any online chat moving so fast. I think there were about a million people on, maybe more. It was crazy. Posts were flying. People agreed, disagreed and were funny. There were great point made and new friends found.
Oh and I need to find a better Twitter tool for chat because what ever I was using wasn't tough enough to keep it going smoothly. It was awesome. See y'all next week.

mikejl Posts: 78Some dealers/service providers place a reminder sticker in the top left corner of the windshield showing the next service is due at 3,000 miles past the mileage you have on the current visit. I guess you could call it a gimmick to shorten the service schedule, or it might be based on a widely-held belief that cars ought to get an oil change every 3,000 miles, no matter what the mfg service schedule says. My dealer does this, but I think 4,000 is more reasonable, so I go in when I'm 1,000 miles past the sticker.0
I use the stickers too, even though I change my own oil. It's a good reminder when you have a fleet of 3 cars all on different mileage schedules.
can I hook the bluetooth phone through the car for speaker free via the NAV system
I have been in BMW X-5 and other's
Is there a way after market to get verizon phone through NAV system so you have speaker free phone
through car
Also anyone have any luck (man I am not technologically adapt)
THANK YOU :shades:0
x5killer Posts: 368just got the new hatch struts and they are a big difference better. now as you open the rear hatch it goes all the way up and stays in place. it is much firmer and therefore harder to pull down to close which is probably why they made it weak in the first place (old ppl etc) but I def prefer it this way.
I got the mini brochure for 07 tribeca and it says that "every B9 is prewired for satellite radio, while he SE provides installed equipment that lets you access xm with touch of a button. pic shows the button under fm/am and to the left of rse/aux button.
dealer told me the mesh grille would be switchable to the 06 but didn't know or think the cargo cover could be which remains the feature I want most.0
The Motorola bluetooth I had installed has the ability to be tied into the car sound system (not the Nav system)and mute the speakers when a call comes in or when you dial out.
Unfortunately the shop I used could not figure out how to do it so we used the external speaker that is part of the kit. It is mounted under the dash on the passenger side and can not be seen. It has excellent sound quality.0
I mean that they were able to have the sound coming in through the car speakers but the caller was not able to hear them in reply.0
Which diagram as there is one for all different types of subsystems (entertainment, front-end, back-end, navigation, etc.)0
tsporty Posts: 13Got back from a 300 mile round trip to Palm Springs from San Diego this weekend. We went back up through the very steep and curvy "Palms to Pines" highway (a road that brings out anything from angst to outright terror to most suburban drivers-but joy to those of us who actually enjoy driving) Getting out of Auto mode was exactly the way to take a mountain road like this. The sometimes irritating shifting of the transmission and engine mapping doing what is its job was much more enjoyable and efficient keeping the power band sweet manually. The transmission is very responsive in this mode and really a bit smoother I think.
I was following fast on the heels of a Porsche Cayenne and really never had any problems at all keeping up. Not as fast or glued down as our WRX of course but I think this is a responsive and even fun large car to drive.
We averaged a solid 24 mpg for the 300 miles in mixed freeway and mountainous driving in our still green <5000 miles Tribeca so even if the city mpg is low the car is pretty efficient for trips.
No real point here but happy with our Tribeca.
Go Padres! Opening night was a blast.0
Sweet, sounds like a fun trip.
Glad to hear you liked the SportShift feature, too, because our next trip/family car will probably have that. I hope they add it to the Forester (not to mention an 5th ratio).
cruiser59 Posts: 3Howdy! Once the B9, 5 pass unlimited becomes available for '07, my bride and I will grab one. The question is (could'nt locate any discussions with search)this. Has anyone had experience with the synethic oils in this model. I've had Mobil One in my previous cars and I experienced improved mpg (2to4 miles)and longer oil change periods.
I appreciate any input and thanks.0
Thanks for response about Bluetooth(R)
i was hoping their might be some Uconnect(TM) Hands-Free Communication-that allows callers to hear us talking
and really makes it a smooth operation while driving
I was also trying to find out about an Electronic Parking Aid
thank you :shades:0
We picked up a Black w/Beige, 7 passenger, Nav/DVD, and splashguards last week. We love it. Took a road trip to the Iwo Jima Memorial the next day and promptly got lost in SE DC. Not pretty. Learn to use the nav before venturing out.
I'm in the process of installing Sirius satellite radio. Would be nice if I could pigtail it off the RES from behind the dash. Has anybody had any sucess with that?0
jerrys2 Western massachusettsPosts: 189Changed to Mobil One at 1,000 miles, changed at 5K, will do so at every 5-7k depending on conditions. Getting 19.2 around town , mostly suburban driving and 22+ highway at 75-80 MPH. Use 92 or 93 octane fuel. May change if it hits
$3 per gallon.
I mean that they were able to have the sound coming in through the car speakers but the caller was not able to hear them in reply.
The in car Motorola unit I have does that,if it uses the external speaker or if tied into the car sound system.
There is a mute button on the small control panel attached to the dash. When on a call, just press mute and it kills the mike. Press it again and the goes active again.0
Awesome, congrats!
I know enough about SE that I'd want to avoid most parts as well! If you think you heard the Tribeca back-firing, trust me, it was gun fire!
booyahcramer Posts: 172Checked out and drove the Tribeca for the first time yesterday. I loved it! What a tight machine. I think the grill's fine too. Too bad it's front end looks don't attract consumers, cause once you're up close and personal, this vehicle is sublime!0
saedave Chicago, ILPosts: 694When a friend who owned a Murano was ready for a new one last week he tried out a Tribeca and gave me a report on the experience.
Smooth, comfortable quiet ride
Nice seats
Underpowered compared to his Murano
"Less responsive transmission"
No way to transport 4 foot wide building material
Less knee room for his oversized person
No rear camera available for tight parking
He bought another Murano, but with a backup camera this time. I rode in his new Murano and found its ride less objectionable than previous ones, but still not nearly as smooth as my VDC wagon...which he agreed.0
I agree! I love the front grill. I dont like the back! But either way... I love my tribeca =)0
Underpowered compared to his Murano
Must be mostly perception: these vehicles have nearly identical HP-to-weight. Maybe it's the "less responsive transmission" that makes it feel like it has less power? I also wonder if he bothered setting the transmission to Sport Mode?
No way to transport 4 foot wide building material
Roof rack?
No rear camera available...
This one's solved in a month, when the 2007s come out. Rear sonar will also be an option. There's always aftermarket, too.0
Rear sonar will also be an option. There's always aftermarket, too.
And in most cases - the after market solution for say rear sonar is equal to the factory version for probably $300 to $400 less. Just don't get the aftermarket from the new car dealer and you will save big bucks.0
Does anyone know how the back of the radio looks on the b9? On the front it says that there's an aux input, which is usually located in the back if there is a rear entertainment system, however, I dont have that. How do they usually connect the rear entertainment system? Do they use a different radio? I doubt it. But it's possible. Does anyone know if there are any RCA input's on the back of the stock radio that comes with a Limited 5-seater b9?0
I would like to know this also. It would be a lot nicer to hook up to behind the dash than to run a cable to the cargo area.0
aka1 Posts: 110If you do a search on previous posts, or scroll through previous messages there are detailed instructions on how get to the stereo, and yes there are A/V inputs back there. I have never tried to get back there, I have the 7Pas, NAV and DVD, so I just use the inputs in the back for Xbox or my i pod.0
Jeff, you beat me to it, and I was going to point out the exact same two things.
Roof racks baby! My Forester can carry 5 sheet of plywood easily.
Thanks aka1. I haven't found detailed instructions but I did find some references. I have the Nav/DVD 7 pass too. I've been looking for some decent cables that aren't incredibly expensive to come from the RES inputs but so far I've only found crap or $35+ Monster cables. I've grown fond of my dangley parts over the last 45 years and prefer to keep them intact. If my wife (who I am also fond of) finds out that I spent $35+ on cables I will no longer be able to describe them as intact.0
cables... Radio Shack used to sell at long run of Audio Cable that was OK quality for cheap (not their high end line). that way you can run it along the floor line more out of the way.
interior space. I found that the interior space of the Tribeca is more useable. I have a large dog cage that fits in the Tribeca and Highlander but would not fit in the Maranno because the width on the top of the Nissan is much more narrow. We can fit a square box (like much of my purchases tend to be) (ie large snow blower box, large TV box) have been square and tall. they would not have fit in the Nissan. :shades:0
Has anyone found a discount place on line selling the Limited edition Mesh front grill? I would like to replace my grill with the Mesh Style Grill painted in black
I think leaving the side grills stock but just the center Mesh would look nice... hope its a direct retrofit to the 2006 B9s0
commonwheel Posts: 1Does anyone know where I can get and extra set of headphone for the rear seat entertainment dvd player?0
My parts dept said they would not have price or availability info until mid-summer.
SOA rep at show said mesh is directly replaceable on 06.
I will predict that center piece will cost 300 to 350 & side 100 to 150 each.
What do you think?0

Mr. Speaker, it was said: From this day to the ending of the world, we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.
Shakespeare penned this hundreds of years ago in Henry V. It represents the unfailing commitment a warrior has for his fellow warriors.
Since 2004, 36 men and women from the Second Congressional District area of Texas that I represent have served honorably for this country, the United States, and they gave their lives for the cause of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Their photographs are over here to my left. You notice, Mr. Speaker, they are of all races. They are men and they are women. They are from all branches of the service. They are enlisted personnel and they are officers in the United States military.
I would like to honor each of them today by name and rank and branch of service and a comment or two about each one of them. These are the sons of liberty, the daughters of democracy of America. They are our heroes.
As we approach July 4, the Fourth of July as we like to call it, where America celebrates its independence and we celebrate not only our independence but our freedom and our liberty, we wave the flag, we attend parades and all of those are good things about America. See, it's okay to be a patriot and its okay to show our patriotism as a Nation. But as we approach July 4, that important day in our history, I believe it is equally important that we remember that our freedom and our liberty have always cost America and its cost America its finest, its youth. These men and women, like patriots before them, gave up their youth so that we can have a future.
Patrick Henry, the great orator during the revolutionary times, said: The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, to the active, to the brave.
We are fortunate those words still ring true today, Mr. Speaker, and American warriors overseas carry those values into battle. These are 36 of them, the Roll Call of the Noble 36. Each of them have connections to southeast Texas. I would like to mention each one of them, because they deserve our recognition, but we also need to always remember them and their families. Because, you see, when these young men and women went off to war, their families went to war, too, but their families stayed stateside and they were ever vigilant while their sons and daughters and husbands and wives went overseas.
The first individual here, Mr. Speaker, is Staff Sergeant Russell Slay, United States Marine Corps, from my hometown of Humble, Texas. He was killed at the age of 34. He was killed on November 9, 2004. When Russell told his mother, Peggy Slay, that he was joining the United States Marine Corps after finishing high school, he told her that he knew she would not like it but he was going to do it anyway. And he did. He joined the Marine Corps and he was killed in action. Peggy Slay, his mother, whom I have known since Russell's death, has become very active in the Blue and Gold Star Moms in southeast Texas.
To refresh your memory, Mr. Speaker, a Blue Star Mom is an individual who has a son or daughter overseas and they carry a flag or they have a flag on their window at their home that has a blue star in that flag. Gold Star Moms are those who have lost a son or a daughter overseas in war, and they have a gold star. Peggy Slay is a leader in the Gold Star Moms in southeast Texas.
Next to him is Lance Corporal Wesley Canning, United States Marine Corps. He was 21, and he was killed on November 10, the day after Russell was killed. He is from Friendswood, Texas. He told his dad he always wanted to be a Marine, and he had that ambition to serve as a Marine for 20 years. He was a proud Texan, and when he was home on leave, he bought a new pickup truck so he could show his Marine buddies his new bumper sticker that said Don't Mess with Texas. He was that kind of individual, that loved Texas and loved his country.
The third individual, Lance Corporal Fred Lee Maciel. Fred Maciel, age 20, was killed on January 26, 2005. He was also a member of the United States Marine Corps. He was from Spring, Texas. He was killed in a helicopter crash in al-Anbar province on his way to begin security preparations for the historic Iraqi elections that took place a few days later in January 2005. Four days later, I was in Iraq to witness those successful elections. Lance Corporal Maciel made those first free elections for the Iraqi people possible, and those elections were important for the history of that country. Lance Corporal Maciel was one of those individuals who gave his life so that another country, another people, could have those elections.
The fourth individual that is on this poster board is Private First Class Wesley Riggs of the United States Army. He was killed when he was 19 years of age on May 17, 2005. He was from Baytown, Texas, or Beach City, Texas. Both towns claim him. He graduated in just 3 years from high school, and he loved agriculture.
The fifth individual is Sergeant William Meeuwsen, age 24. Sergeant William Bill Meeuwsen is from Kingwood, Texas, near my area where I live, and he was a member of the United States Army. He went off to Texas A&M University, but he dropped out of school and enlisted in the United States Army because of 9/11. Amazing individuals, these people who left their careers after 9/11 and joined the United States military to protect the rest of us.
Over here on the far left is Lance Corporal Robert Robbie Martinez, United States Marine Corps. He was killed at the age of 20 on December 1, 2005. He was from a small rural community called Cleveland. Cleveland, Texas. He dreamed of getting a degree in education and becoming a baseball coach after his career in the Marines. Today, there is a post office in Cleveland, Texas, named in his honor. When we dedicated the post office for Robbie Martinez in Cleveland, Texas, the whole town turned out for it. In fact, the United States Air Force had a flyover during that ceremony and that dedication. The people of Cleveland loved Robbie Martinez and his family and appreciate his sacrifice for America.
The seventh individual is Staff Sergeant Jerry Michael Durbin, United States Army, from Spring, Texas. He was killed on January 25, 2006, at the age of 27. He's from Houston, Texas, and he was a gifted artist. The day he was killed, he called his wife to tell her he loved her. Shortly thereafter, he was killed in action.
The eighth individual is Tech Sergeant Walter Moss. Tech Sergeant Walter Moss was a member of the United States Air Force. He was 37 years of age, and he was killed on March 30, 2006. He also is from Houston, Texas. He joined the Air Force after high school and he served in Operation Desert Storm.
He specialized in detecting and diffusing makeshift bombs, and he was killed while diffusing an IED. I repeat, he was killed while diffusing an IED. An IED, Mr. Speaker, that is the way that the cowards we fight, fight us. They don't come out in the open--heavens no. They won't do that. They would lose. So they lie in wait in their holes, in their caves, and they put bombs, land mines--IEDs, as we call them--where they know our troops will come by, and then they remotely set those off. Tech Sergeant Walter Moss was an individual that was trained to diffuse those IEDs, but one exploded while he was trying to protect other warriors.
The ninth individual is Private First Class Kristian Menchaca. Kristian Menchaca was a member of the United States Army. He is from Houston, Texas. He was killed at the age of 23 on June 16, 2006. When he joined the United States Army, he wanted to be in the infantry. Kristian's wife said that being in the military was what he always wanted to do. He was kidnapped and tortured and murdered by enemy forces. His murder made national news because of the brutality of the people we fight against after they captured Kristian Menchaca.
Number 10 on this poster is Staff Sergeant Ben Williams of the United States Marine Corps. He was 30 years of age when he was killed on June 20, 2006. He is from Orange, Texas, down in the refinery area of southeast Texas. He joined the United States Marines right after high school, and he served his country for 12 years. He was serving his third duty in Iraq when he was killed on June 20, 2006.
Lance Corporal Ryan Miller, at the age of 19, member of the United States Marine Corps, was killed on September 14, 2006. He was from Pearland, Texas. He was a third-generation Marine. He graduated early so he could enlist and follow in his father's and grandfather's footsteps. After his tour of duty was over, he wanted to become a Houston police officer just like his parents, who are Houston police officers.
Staff Sergeant Edward Reynolds, Jr., United States Army. He was killed at the age of 27 on September 26, 2006, just a few days after Lance Corporal Ryan Miller was killed. He is from Port Arthur, Texas, another refinery area in southeast Texas. He was looking forward to New Year's Eve because that's when he was going to get married. He was a man who, as his fellow warriors say, pushed others to succeed in what they do.
Next is Captain David Fraser, 13th individual on this poster. He was a member of the United States Army. He was killed on November 26, 2006, at the age of 25. He was from Spring, Texas. And you might notice--you can barely see it, but you might notice his uniform, Mr. Speaker. He was a West Point graduate. He wasn't just a regular cadet at West Point. He graduated top student in civil engineering. Captain David Fraser gave his life at the age of 25 for America.
Lance Corporal Luke Yepsen, member of the United States Marine Corps. He was killed on September 14, 2006, and he was from Kingwood, Texas. He was at the age of 20 when he was killed. He also attended Texas A&M University after high school, and he dropped out to enlist in the United States Marine Corps, just like Staff Sergeant Bill Meeuwsen left Texas A&M during school to fight for America.
Specialist Dustin Donica, United States Army. At the age of 22, he was killed on December 28, 2006. He was from Spring, Texas. And when he was asked why he joined the United States Army, here's what he said, Mr. Speaker: Most people in my generation want something for them. I just wanted to give something back. That's why I joined the United States Army.
The 16th individual of our roll call of the Noble 36 is Specialist Ryan Berg. Here is his photograph, Mr. Speaker. He was a member of the United States Army. He was killed at the age of 19. He is from Sabine Pass, Texas. You've probably never heard of that place. Sabine Pass is a very small community. It is on the furthest southeastern point of Texas, right next to Louisiana. He joined the Army on his 18th birthday, and he was the first soldier from Sabine Pass to be killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Staff Sergeant Terrance Dunn, United States Army. Here is his photograph. At the age of 38, he was killed on February 2, 2007. He was from Atascocita, Texas. He enlisted in the Army several years after high school, and to his fellow soldiers he was known as Dunnaman because he could get anything done.
Next is Lance Corporal Anthony Aguirre. He was a member of the United States Marine Corps, and at the age of 20 he was killed on February 22, 2007. He was from Channelview, Texas. He entered the United States Marine Corps because he believed, like a lot of other people believe, it was the toughest branch of the military. You've got to love those Marines, Mr. Speaker.
Over here we have Private First Class Brandon Bobb, United States Army. He, likewise, was from Port Arthur,
Texas, and he was killed at the age of 20 on July 17, 2007. He was always cheerful and was a soldier that others looked to for support and to lend a helping hand. He was always thinking about somebody else other than himself, according to his buddies in the military.
Number 20, Private First Class Zachary Endsley, United States Army, age 21, killed on July 23, 2007, from Spring, Texas. You might notice, Mr. Speaker, there's a pattern here--18-, 19-, 20- and 21-year-olds. America's youth go to war to represent the rest of us. But Zach was an appreciator of the arts. He enjoyed drawing and playing his guitar. It was his drawing ability that stood out. In high school, he entered and won a poster contest with his design, but after he joined the Army he was killed at the age of 21.
Number 21, Army Specialist Kamisha Block. She was a member of the United States Army. Kamisha Block was 20 years old when she was killed. She was from Vidor, Texas, and she was killed on August 16, 2007. Kamisha's best friend, Amanda Buck, they grew up together. And Amanda says: We rode the school bus together from kindergarten all the way through high school. She said Kamisha knew where she was headed in life. She had a big heart and wanted to help people, and that's why she joined the United States Army.
Number 22, Specialist Donald Valentine III, United States Army, 21 years of age. He was killed September 18, 2007. He was from Houston, Texas. In the official statement on Donald's death, here's what the family said: Donald touched the lives of so many with his big heart. We will cherish those beautiful memories we shared with him. He made us very proud. Now heaven has another hero that continues to watch over us as an angel in heaven. Remarkable person, Specialist Donald Valentine III.
Number 23 is Lance Corporal Jeremy Burris, United States Marine, age 22, killed in action on October 8, 2007. He is from Liberty, Texas. Liberty, Texas, according to the folks in Liberty, they claim that is the first settlement in Texas, before Texas was even a part of the United States or even a republic. Liberty, Texas. An interesting town for a warrior to be from. He was an unapologetic person of religious faith, and he attended the nondenominational Cornerstone Church, where he led worship and praise services. He loved Texas, and his church pastor said at the funeral, No one had better say anything negative about his home State of Texas.
Mr. Speaker, you got to love those Texas boys. They love our State. They love America.
Number 24 is Staff Sergeant Eric Duckworth. He is the last photograph on this row, Mr. Speaker. He was a member of the United States Army. He was killed at the age of 26 on October 10, 2007. He was from Houston, Texas. His father, Michael, described him as an outgoing and good-humored son. He further said, Eric was full of love and laughter and a godly spirit, but, above all, he was a true soldier and a proud warrior for the United States.
Number 25, Corporal Scott McIntosh. He was a member of the United States Army. He was killed at the age of 26 on March 10, 2008. He was from Humble, Texas, my hometown. His mission in life was to meet and make friends with every person he came in contact with. He shared his hearty laugh and always had a smile to give to other people that he came across. Scott always had a positive outlook on life. He loved to hunt and fish, but most of all he loved his family, the Army and the country he lived in and his life.
Staff Sergeant Shawn Tousha, number 26 on this poster, Mr. Speaker. He was a member of the United States Army. He was killed at the age of 30 on April 9, 2008. He was from a little small town called Hull, Texas. As a teenager, Shawn played football, and like most Texas rural boys, he loved it. He played at Hull-Daisetta High School. He liked to ride horses. He considered himself a cowboy. He liked to bull ride. He was a man from small town America, and he had a playful heart. He made a big impression on everybody that he knew growing up, and that was a positive impression.
Number 27 on here, Lieutenant Colonel Mark Stratton II. Lieutenant Colonel Mark Stratton is the highest ranking officer that has been killed from our congressional district area. He was a member of the United States Air Force. At the age of 39, he was killed on May 26, 2009. He was from Houston, Texas. He was remembered by his friends as a man of unquestionable character and total loyalty to the people he loved. He was a patriotic American who exemplified the very best that American airmen have to offer.
Number 28, this individual with the big grin on his face, Specialist Jarrett Griemel, United States Army. He was killed on June 3, 2009, at the age of 20. He was also from a little small town, La Porte, Texas. Jarrett was a member of the swim team and the surf club while he was in high school. He loved the outdoors and he, of course, loved the beach and the surf which were nearby in La Porte. He spent his spare time parachuting and cliff diving. Jarrett lived his life to the fullest, but like the others I have mentioned, he loved America, and he loved to excel and do what he could do to be all that he could be. He loved his family, and his family says that they will forever cherish the memories that he gave them because he touched every one of their lives.
Over here to the far left, Jeffrey Johnson was a member of the United States Marine Corps, age 21 when he was killed on May 11, 2010, from Tomball, Texas. At Corporal Jeffrey Johnson's funeral, his family remembered him as a son, a grandson, a brother and a hero. His vehicle commander said Johnson was different from most of the fellow Marines because, to sum up his commander, war is sheer misery, and the four of us in that truck, because of Jeff and his humor, were uplifted all the time. Corporal Johnson touched everybody and the lives that they lived with his life.
The 30th individual is this sailor over here on the far portion of this poster, Petty Officer Zarian Wood, who went by Z, a member of the United States Navy. He was from Houston. He was 29 years of age when he was killed in combat, and he was on his second tour of duty when he was killed. He graduated from South Houston High School in 1999 and after graduation he worked as a youth pastor and tutored children. He enlisted in the Navy in 2006 and was on his second tour of duty when he was killed in combat.
The last group of individuals are the most recent individuals. All of these people, all of these individuals are put on this poster in the order of their death in Iraq or Afghanistan. In my office here in Washington, in my offices in Humble and in Beaumont, Texas, we have larger photographs of all of these individuals. And you will notice, Mr. Speaker, as you go through the Halls of Congress and the offices of the House, you will see many such posters as this listing those who have given their lives for America in the war in Iraq.
But next on this list is Sergeant Brandon Bury. He was a member of the United States Marine Corps. He was killed at the age of 26 on June 6, 2010--June 6th, D-day. He was killed on the anniversary date of D-day. He was from Kingwood, Texas. He was a big guy. He was 6 feet 6 and he was all Marine. He was an impressive individual, and his friends say even back in middle school he knew what he wanted to do--he wanted to be a member of the United States Marine Corps.
Next to him, number 32, Specialist Matthew Catlett, United States Army. At the age of 23 years, he was killed on June 7, the very next day after Sergeant Brandon Bury was killed. He was from Houston, Texas, and he fought for liberty. He fought for a people that he did not know in a land where he had never been. He was an American, that rare breed that gave his life for people far, far away and for Americans in this land.
Staff Sergeant Edwardo Loredo, 34 years of age, a member of the United States Army, he was killed one day shy of his 35th birthday. He was from Houston, Texas, killed on June 24, 2010. His family says Edwardo was an adventurer. He adored his wife and his family, and he loved to cook for his neighbors and his family. Mr. Speaker, we are blessed to have such a rare breed of people as Staff Sergeant Edwardo Loredo and his fellow patriots and warriors.
Number 34, Staff Sergeant Jesse Ainsworth, a member of the United States Army, 24 years of age, killed on July 10, 2010, from Dayton, Texas, another small town in southeast Texas. Jesse's mother, Margaret Ainsworth, said Jesse was her hero, and he was her only son. She said she used to pick him up when he was a little kid from kindergarten, and every Friday they would go to Wal-Mart and buy some toy. She said ever since Jesse was an itty bitty fellow he wanted to be a soldier in the United States Army, and he gave his life when he was 24 years of age for the rest of us.
Number 35 on this poster of the Noble 36 is Staff Sergeant Leston Tony Winters, United States Army, 30 years of age when he was killed on July 15, 2010. He was from Sour Lake, Texas. Once again, small town rural America. In 1998 he graduated from Hardin Jefferson High School. Winters had already completed two tours of duty in Iraq and decided in February of 2010 to leave his job and return to battle once more. He told his family that he felt compelled to be there with his buddies, even though he had a chance to stay home in Texas. He left behind after his death his wife, Elizabeth, and their three children, Jonathan, Remington, and Emma.
Sergeant First Class Calvin B. Harrison, this individual over here in the bottom right-hand corner, he was killed at the age of 31 and he, like several of the others I mentioned, was from Cleveland, Texas. He was killed on September 29, 2010. After he graduated from high school in 1998, he enlisted in the Army, following the path of his grandfather. His family said that he loved being a soldier and serving his country. He is survived by his two daughters, Azalia and Eleanna.
It's interesting about his funeral, Mr. Speaker, which I attended. The whole town of Cleveland, Texas, and nearby towns turned out for the funeral. Flags were strewn and hoisted all up and down Main Street in Cleveland, Texas. The businesses shut down, the school closed as the funeral procession came through Cleveland, Texas, honoring Sergeant First Class Calvin Harrison; that funeral ceremony and processional with hundreds of people, young and old, showing praise and honor and respect to Calvin Harrison for his sacrifice for America.
It was led by the Patriot Guard, those patriots that ride the Harley-Davidson motorcycles, most of them from the Vietnam era, who show their appreciation for the sacrifice by watching over the funeral procession and the funeral by riding those motorcycles with an American flag on the back.
These are the Noble 36 from southeast Texas, just a few of the people who have given their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. I mention these individuals because they, like all Americans that have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, are important to America. They are important to our history because freedom is not free.
And that is not a trite expression. It's not free. It has always been expensive, going all the way back to the Revolutionary War. We're going to celebrate July 4th next week. And that war cost American lives, as has every war, because freedom is expensive. And it's our young people, men and women, who go and serve.
Mr. Speaker, just like everybody serving today in Iraq and Afghanistan, every one of these people--every one--volunteered. They raised their right hand and they stood forward and said, I will serve. I will go. Call me. And they went. And we are to admire them for what they have done. They have gone down into the valley of the gun and the desert of the sun, and they have sacrificed their lives.
Last week, I happened to be in Iraq with other Members of Congress. It's not even summer yet in Iraq. But we got off that Blackhawk helicopter and it was 120 degrees in Iraq. And there they were, the American warriors, with their warrior uniforms on and all that equipment they carry. How hot they were. It was 120 degrees. In Afghanistan and Iraq it gets hot in the summer. And those days are coming. We should always appreciate them.
We should also appreciate the ones that serve in other places in the world. On that same trip, Members of Congress had an opportunity to go near the South China Sea and see some of our warriors on some island I'm not sure I could find on a map. But they're on this remote island, our Navy SEALs, our special forces, our marines, and our soldiers. They were doing an operation protecting the United States, representing the rest of us.
So we should be proud of those that go and serve; those that volunteer and those that are still there. We should appreciate the families that have stayed home while their loved ones go across the seas and represent this country. July 4th is coming up. It's a great day in our history. I hope Americans fly the flag. I hope Americans tell their kids about our country and our history. We should tell American children about these young people and others who every day raise their right hand and go off to war representing the rest of us.
One of our former Presidents once said, I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives, and I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him. All of these were proud of America and America is proud of all of them and the rest that continue to serve. These Noble 36, we are proud of them.
Mr. Speaker, these are the few, the bold, the brave, the courageous. These are the Americans. These are the sons and daughters of southeast Texas who have fallen in battle for their country. We are forever grateful for their sacrifice, and we are grateful for every man and woman in uniform somewhere in the world today representing the rest of us.
And that's just the way it is.

I live with Superman. He is on the other side of two feet, thick wavy hair, and chocolate brown eyes in the middle of lashes any grown woman would envy. His smile is wide and true. The soft baby skin is now bruised from his adventures. Chubby little hands grasp the crayon with his left hand, while pushing and evading the enemy who wants the paper to remain pristine with his right hand. He loves hard and plays even harder.
The lucky few who live with Superman are in a long process of teaching him the way that nice little super heroes should behave. His hand signing is being replaced with new words daily, and we have the job to teach him what words are deemed appropriate. Whining gets him nowhere on most days, but his charming smile can draw down even the strongest armor.
Even Superman needs a nap. He fights and charms but eventually tires out and slips into his dreams. I wonder what Superman dreams about when his legs twitch and lips curl. I know that I dream for him all the world has to offer, strength to handle what the world throws at him, and the wisdom to choose his battles.
Sharing toys doesn't come easy him. His toys are housed among princesses and pink. Frustrations arise when the princesses want to explore in his territory. It must be hard for Superman to live in princess paradise. It has it's pros when the princesses play mommy and are at his beckon call.
We teach Superman to love the Lord with all he has in him and walk in His ways. At least that is are aim in the coming years. He bows his head and genuflects on cue always with an accomplished smile at the end. He is quick to praise when a job well done is seen. He warns when food is hot and kisses booboos. It is hard when he realizes that kisses don't solve everything and will gently ask, "You okay?", and continue to pat and rub the victim.
Superman has taught me about myself this year. I think of myself as a patient person. My voice raises more than I like and frustrations well inside when repeated polite requests are denied. I have learned the power and importance of alone time. His naps coincide with a story for the princesses and reading time for me. If I fall asleep, I am greeted with Superman's hand on my face. I thank God for the gift of our son. Boys and girls are different, and it is the differences I love the most. Well, I could do without the three ER trips this year. I am sure that this year will be filled with new opportunities for growth and challenges. I will wake up thanking God for my little Superman.

Wow. I am so behind on reading this but it makes me smile from the inside out. You are such a beautiful writer and what a gift you are giving to you children when they grown up. And for all of us when we just need a reminder. You mothering skills have amazed me since the first day I met you. God brought you to Memphis for so many reasons I am sure of that; but I do know that one of those reasons was to touch my life. You are an inspiration! And Superman is so precious.

Hey all! I know it's been a while since I've written something on the blog, but I have to admit that between the long hours at work and my new sewing hobby, I don't really have much time left for writing :(( However, since I did work on my sewing skills lately, and I even took a course over a week-end at PeSeta (which, by the way, was really great!), I thought I showed you my latest "work of art".
So, here's the story… The other day I was browsing Pull & Bear 's web site for the new season's novelties and I fond these really cute ethnical inspired stuff that I really liked.
So I thought to myself… "why not making my own ethnic bag out of the super cool fabric I just bought at Los Tejidos de la Maja??" And so I did… here is the result:
As you can see, my bag is more like a clutch really and it has a really cute vintage fabric for the inside part. I'm actually quite proud of myself because I did it really quick and made no huge mistakes… you can't see any seams and the color combination works quite well.
What do you think?? Hope you like it (I do :))) …
I also did a cute apron with mittens and all, but that's a story for my next post.
Thanks for reading!

2010 "Borlaug Dialogue" on Food Security
|Des Moines, Iowa, USA
The African Development Bank (AfDB) is participating in the World Food Prize-2010 Borlaug Dialogue taking place from 13-15 October 2010, in Des Moines, Iowa, USA.
"The Norman E. Borlaug International Symposium" is held each year in conjunction with the World Food Prize award. The annual "Davos-style" dialogue brings together international experts and policy leaders to address cutting-edge issues in food and nutritional security.
Through the International Symposium, known informally as the Borlaug Dialogue, the World Food Prize Foundation helps build alliances in the struggle against world hunger and malnutrition. This year's event on the theme, "Reaching and Partnering with the World's Smallholder Farmers", continued a three-day dialogue that will address thee critical issues: Smallholder farming and rural livelihoods, grassroots and collaborative partnerships toward food security.
At this important Dialogue, the Bank's Vice President for sector Operations, Mr. Kamal Elkheshen, is presenting the Bank's interventions in support of smallholder farmers as entrepreneurs and innovators. The recurrent crises since 2008 have clearly demonstrated the fragile nature of the agriculture sector in Africa, in spite of the huge unexploited opportunities, Mr. Elkheshen noted. He also emphasized the need for Donor agencies and development partners to make additional efforts to deliver on their global commitment and especially for Africa to increase financing to the sector especially in the area of infrastructure technical assistance, and research and development.
The event comes at a time when there are renewed fears about a food crisis as a result of the spike in wheat prices. Indeed pockets of severe food shortages in Africa, especially in the Sahel region, which is projected to record a cereal deficit of about 1.6 million tonnes, or US$ 503 million to cover the import bill. Egypt, the world's largest wheat importer, has had to buy wheat on the spot market, in response to the Russian ban on wheat exports. Other countries such as Tunisia and Algeria are following suit, ostensibly to avoid a repeat of the ugly scenes recently observed in Mozambique when bread prices were increased.
Given that there are currently 44 low-income food-deficit countries in Africa, and that growth in food output is below population growth, there is need for concerted efforts to increase food production. This underscores the need to translate the US$ 30 billion in aid commitments, in response to the 2007 – 08 food crisis, into real financial flows to Africa.
The AfDB, as the preferred partner for Africa's development, allocated UA 1.9 billion in response to the 2007 - 08 food crisis.
The Bank is closely involved in activities organized to commemorate this year's World Food Day on 16 October. The institution fully supports the annual even as a major opportunity to increase public awareness on food and hunger problems on the African continent
