We all know how hard it can to find online jobs for teens. Most of the places out there will only hire people who are 16-18 years or older. So we thought we would compile a list here to show that there are actually a lot of different jobs for teens out there.
Top Online Jobs for Teens
Fiverr is one of the biggest market places online where people offer their services for $5. There are actually thousands and thousands of people who are actually making a full time living at this. Although, $5 does not sound like much there are actually up sales when someone buys from you. So if you are selling a post on your blog for $5 you could up sell them a post on another blog that you have for an additional $10. So this is how the people who make a living at this make really good money. It's all about the up sells.
So think about if you have some kind of social talent. Are you good at writing? If so you could sell 500 word blog posts for 500 with an up sell of a 1,000 word article for $10 total. Whatever it is that you are good at the key is to UNDERSELL and OVER DELIVER. Fiverr is all about repeat customers. So always go above and beyond to deliver the highest quality product you can to make sure you get them coming back and also to get and keep a 5 star rating, which is critical on Fiverr.
Paid Survey Panels
Believe it or not. Many of the paid survey sites out there will actually let you sign up to their sites as young as 13 years old. This is not the fastest way to make money online as a teen, but it is a legit one. It may take you some time to build up enough funds to make it worth it, but here are some tips to help you out.
Sign up to as many different survey panels as you can. The more sites that you are a member of means the more chances you have at getting surveys. The more surveys you have also mean the more higher paid surveys you have. The key is complete as many surveys as you can and be honest when signing up. To find out even more check out our paid surveys post.
Reward or GPT Sites
These types of sites are similar to paid surveys, but maybe a little better. The key thing is you can do a lot more than just surveys on these sites. Some of them will pay you to search through their search engine, to do small tasks, etc. If you sign up for the right sites you can make a decent little chunk of extra money. However, this is not going to be one of those sites where you can live off the profits. Unless, you have an amazing way to get referrals.
The more referrals you can get on these sites the more passive income you can build month after month. The key is finding referrals who love to complete the surveys. The more they do, the more you will make as well.
My Likes
This is a new site in the game. Basically, you get paid to like and tweet different things. It says on their website that their users make on average $50/mo. I cannot be sure about that. It seems as if it may be hard to make that much money in a month from what I saw.
However, any extra money you can make at all is a plus when you are a teenager. So this may or may not be worth your time. That is up to you. They do pay out every Friday though which is a plus if you have atleast $1.
Slice the Pie
This is another great new website where you can sign up as young as 13 years old. You are helping artists decide if you like their songs or not. You give it a rating between 1-10. Then you give a small paragraph on why you gave it that rating. You also get paid to rate different things in the fashion industry as well.
Artists love your feedback. After all, you are the kind of person who will be listening to their music when they release it. Most of these songs are pre-release songs. You are helping to make it better. You will get paid anywhere from $.07 to $.18 for each one you do. They payout twice a week into your Paypal account. So if you like music already, this could be great job for you as a teenager.
Also Read: Top 10 Legitimate Ways to Make Money Online
Online Jobs for Teens Tips
Many of these sites require you to have a Paypal account. So before you start anything make sure you head over to Paypal and sign up for your free account right now. Having an account is going to save you a big headache in the long run.
Use all of these online jobs
Most of these sites it's hard to make a lot of money. So the key to actually making a really good amount of money would be to sign up for all of them. Each of them may only be able to make you $30/mo, but if you add them all together now how much are you making month? That would be a nice little income for a teenager that is your age.

Prime Minister John Key says New Zealand troops who remain in
Afghanistan after the proposed withdrawal in April will have
a very different role to front-line personnel.
Mr Key rejected criticism that the decision to leave some
personnel in Afghanistan amounted to a broken promise, saying
the Government made it clear last year that the withdrawal of
the troops would not mean the end of New Zealand's commitment
He told Radio New Zealand this morning that the troops who
remained after April would have a different role to those
there previously.
"It is quite a different sort of commitment we've got for the
next 12 months as opposed to having the Defence Force on the
frontline as they have been in Bamiyan, where they've been
patrolling the quite dangerous terrain.
"All we're doing is providing a bit of logistics and training
support, all of which will be behind the wire."
New Zealand's 196 personnel in Bamiyan would leave as planned
in April.
Mr Key said yesterday he was confident that the civilians
working in the Bamiyan region would be safe, despite five New
Zealand casualties in the area late last year.
Eight of the new deployment would train locals for enrolment
in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
The Prime Minister acknowledged that this group was not
completely out of the line of fire given the history of
"blue-on-green" attacks in Afghanistan, in which Afghan
forces had turned on their own colleagues or international
The team of 27 was expected to be deployed until April 2014,
though this would be reviewed later in the year.
Mr Key said Afghanistan was a "changeable and unpredictable
environment" and their mission could be extended if required.
Three SAS soldiers would remain in the country in an
intelligence and logistics role.
"It's been fair to say they've been very effective," Mr Key
"They are an enabler without being the actual people who are
knocking on doors or carrying weapons."
Labour Party defence spokesman Iain Lees-Galloway said the
deployment signalled a new mission with a new mandate, and it
was time for New Zealand's troops to come home.
But Mr Key stressed that it was in New Zealand's interest to
make an ongoing contribution to the country in order to
preserve a decade's worth of gains in security and human

When someone selects duplicate as the reason to close a question, the questions selected by other users are shown as presets. However, they aren't shown if the vote has expired. I think it would be easier if they were, as just because they have expired doesn't make it any less likely that someone else will want to close the question for the same reason.
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
This is exactly why I usually post a duplicate link in a comment first. That way it sticks around.
It would be nice if you could count on the auto-generated comment to stick around like a normal comment.
I follow your reasoning, but this isn't necessary.
The auto-generated "possible duplicate" comments don't get removed if the question doesn't get closed and the votes expire. Here's an example.
So this really isn't saving much time... maybe 1 or 2 clicks, and that's it.
As @Grace Note pointed out, you can manually edit the comment to get it to stick around no matter what (i.e., if you suspect the close votes may not make quorum).

Age Of War
From GameWinners
Add to this page!
Recommended turrets
Remain defensive and build up your turrets. The most powerful turrets for each age is as follows.
- Stone Age: Egg Automatic
- Castle Age: Fire Catapult
- Pilgrim Age: Small Cannons, then upgrade to Explosive Cannons
- Modern Age: Double Cannons
- Futuristic: Blue Ion Cannons.
Easy wins
- Buy a turret, preferably an upgraded version, such as the Egg Automatic, Fire Catapult, or Explosive Cannon (recommended). Allow enemies to close in to your base. Build either a single infantryman, or a infantry/archer team. They will kill the maximum for their gold by being within range of the turret, and will die long before getting in range of your enemy's turret. You may not have full life by the end because of enemy archers, but it is the easiest way to win.
- Waiting until at least five men on the enemy side are created. Then, use your special to get enough money for the egg launcher. Do not create units unless needed, and build up money by your turret.
- Buy a lot of turrets. When enemies are about to hit you, pause game play. The enemy must start the attack again and your turrets will continue to hit the enemy. Note: This does not work with long range units from the third age or later.
- Save as much money as possible. Buy all four turret spots, then buy two fire catapults, one explosive cannon, and one double machine gun from the fourth age. Do not buy any infantry unless the enemy is at the large tree in front of your base. Once you evolve to the fifth age, sell all your turrets and buy four ion rays. Nothing should get to your base. When you have enough money buy some super soldiers.
- Get to the Future Age, then build three Ion Turrets. Wait for about 15 to 30 minutes (without recruiting anything) until you get 450,000, then recruit three Super Soldiers.
- In the Future Age, get the Ion Cannon. When fired it shoots many shots and kills the CPU's infantry, then the bullets will hit the enemy base.
- When you reach the Future Age, save all your money. Purchase an Ion Cannon and keep making your Turret Tower to the top. Fill all the spaces with Ion Cannons. The turrets will stop everything.
- Get to the Future Age. Get four turret spots. Have two Titanium Shooters and two Laser Cannons. Save until you have 80,000 gold and sell a Laser Cannon. You will now have enough for an Ion Cannon. Repeat this process. When you have four Ion Cannons, wait until you have enough for lots of Super Soldiers for easy wins. Note: The Ion Cannons will defeat anything that gets near your base.
- Play through the game in any mode, and try to save as much money as possible during the first four ages. In the fifth age, the Future Age, get all the turret spots and fill them with blue Ion Rays. Almost as soon as the enemy creates units, they will be destroyed by the Ion Ray. After they are destroyed, any stray blue circles will hit the enemy base. This will result in an easy win after about half an hour under the Easy difficulty setting.
- When you get to the Modern Age, get all the turret stations. Put rockets on all of the turret stations. When you get to the Space Age, get a group of blasters. It might take awhile but it is a good way to win.
- In the first age, get turrets and save for a lot of Dinoriders. Wait until your enemy gets to the second age. Note: You may want to put up a few men for extra defense while waiting. Then, get a lot of Dinoriders and keep them coming. After three or four minutes, go to the next age and get some Swordsmen and Crossbowmen. Sometimes they will go in front of the Dinoriders.
- When you get to the fourth Age, build four turret locations. Purchase all four double shooters then go to the next level. Play any other game in a new tab and allow your old game to remain idle. Return after a few minutes. Create eight Super Soldiers and ten Blasters behind them.
Easy money
Upgrade until you get to the last upgrade (in the Futuristic Era). Get enough money to have all the turret spots. Get four of the red cannons. If you have the patience to wait a few hours, you will have enough money to buy anything desired.
Recharge special attack
Immediately after using a special attack, pause game play. The special attack will recharge while the game is paused.
Special attack line
Pause game play as soon as you click to use your special attack. Wait for it to stop shaking. The special attack will all come down at the same time and kill most of your enemies. Note: This cannot be done in the third age.
Faster reloading
When you have weapons like the fire launcher, pause game play when it fires. The weapon will reload and fire faster.
Turrets attack enemy bases
Select Easy mode. Go to the last age and build four Ion Cannons. They will destroy everything as soon as it comes out, then they will accidentally shoot the enemy base.
Keep healing special
Play in Easy mode and evolve to the third age. Intentionally begin losing. Immediately before you are about to lose, use your special which heals the men. After losing, play in any desired mode. When you make units, they will have that healing special from the third age.

I have a bad feeling about this.
Firstly BigPark not Rare making it.
Golf had terrible delay with the actual shots and those 2 idiots showing off the american football game :(
Also not happy that it appears none of the KS titles are making it over to season 2. Would have liked to see them all again with slight improvements.
Also hope they do more than what was avaliable in KS. Would like to be able to set up leagues via the game for offline or online with friends.
Nice info :drunk
Not sure about it yet either.
Looks a bit childish - more like a Wii game ..
Im not surprised no Kinect Sports 1 games have made it over as, with mini games and DLC, they kind of did all they could with them.
Trouble is, KS had all really good sports, but this one..Darts, American Football..they dont really interest me.
and yeah, Rare not making it worries me. Lets hope it isnt like Motionsports or that Sports island game..(crap)
Seriously, after 10 years we haven't heard anything about Banjo-Threeie and Conker's Other Bad Day yet, and after only a few months Rare already announced kinect sports 2? Bloody kinect!
See if they're hiring - and write it yourself (probably quicker) ;)
Still some months away. I'm going to keep an eye on this one. Looking forward to the selection here more than the last one actually. Curious how darts is going to be since it seems like it'd be hard to keep it accurate and not everyone's t.v. is eye-level.
Homerun derby with pitch control should be really fun.
I would love an expanded football (soccer) game though since it looks like (American) football seems to be a little more in-depth with running.
Canned by MS.
i don´t see why it should be any worse than the first one
Also, as many stated, a sports game doesn't so many people working on it... they already have the characters' model, don't have to make plot, gameplay, levels, music etc...
So is it true this does actually have the original sports in aswell? Is it a case of simply transfering data over like songs in Dance Central or having to swap disc like in the Lips games?
I never knew this wasn't made by Rare. I'm kind of unsure about what to think now. Probably going to wait until Christmas to get it now. I feel like the precision isn't there in Kinect to play sports like Golf and Darts, and there's no fast paced play in Darts and Baseball.
I think Tennis and Skiing should be fun though.
Not really. I mean its since been announced that Rare have done half the sports and the vids are looking good. Not happy about this..
mmmm i'm not sure, a lot of you have quite some good point... guess we'll have to wait and see
It's done by BigPark because there are no more employees at Rare. Everybody's left, the remaining guys are stupid people with no-brain, that are so stupid and without fantasy that they make sports games.
There is no delay, thats just the delay from the little screen to the big screen.
you dont have kinect, you have mulitipule threads/posts against kinect & kinect sports.
none of which have a valid reason as to why not to get it.
yet all it is is a rant because you dont want to get off the couch!
if you dont own a kinect, you have no voice!
i've played some great games. heres my list of favorites in order so far. rise of nightmares awesome stuff & freeroaming. not bad graphics either.
forza4 awesome graphics & free roam driving the real cars! just wish they added season mode for us kinect users.
hulk hogan main event. first wrestling game & a blast to play!
powerup heroes is awesome too just read my review on here.
theres so many more & more to come!
now i want full seasons/tourneys. thats a real point. not i want conkers boohoo cr*p!
so come back when you have something tangleable.please stop cluttering up the boards with your rants that have no merit.
as for rare making this game. i thought they did. on xbl they have a video talking about how they improved it.
i had a hard time with voice reconistion & my tennis racket always being slanted.
i hope this gets fixed. i can do table tennis fine but not tennis.
i wish they'd make full seasons too. instead of mini games.
big league sports is coming out soon too. it includes hockey as well. its on 123kinect website. so i think i'll wait for them all to come out. then i'l, decide which one to get :)
Any game play vids of big league sports?
Im getting KS this thursday but would like to see what BLS has to offer.
As for the game, I'm sure it will be great. The first Kinect Sports was awesome, and I am confident that this sequel will follow suit.
I had my doubts but after the demo i would buy the game for Golf alone!
Darts and baseball look really fun aswell. Infact they all seem to work well i just wish they had not dumbed down football.
i find it strange that vids are hard to come by. in BLS they have hockey. curious to see how they pull that one off.
i liked season 1 but the demo didnt sell me. i buy most games from demos.
i wish xbl would put some vids up at least.
i just hope season 2 isnt the same as the first one.
dont get me wrong, i enjoyed it. just want longer gameplay from them.
when you look at wii sports. it at least has a leveling system. ie pro,champion & such. which you got via points from wins against AI.
i thought season 2 would implement something to give us some replay value. ie reward system, extra holes, extra.
if you do get season 2. please let me know what you think.
i hope its done better than the demo :). gonna get the hockey one. wait on reviews for this one.
i'll let you know if i see any vids on it. nothing on the boards either about it.
something i forgot to add. you sound like you enjoy golf. thats on the other one i mentioned too.
looking at the ahcieves here on this site. i noticed what looks like a mix of mini & full games for each sport.
ie golf has driving & putting challenges. mixed in with a full game of golf. same applies to the other sports.
hockey blew me away with slapshot & goalie challenge plus full game!
i hope this works out well :) still might get season 2. on the fence though. but if the other one plays good. i'd say kinect sports finally has a good rival.
catious though as other companies have all failled at sports games but rare.
wish football wasnt watered down. please let me know what you think. i have very few friends on my list who buy kinect games.
most of them go by my reviews,lmao.
No vids by now normally means 1 thing. Epic fail.
looks like this one didnt do to well either. it got a 60/100 or 6/10.
half good games half bad games according to this site.
my advice, rent it 1st. seems bigpark messed it up.
was looking forward to this. gonna checkout youtube as well. i was gonna get this today along with extreame & grease dance.
my tuesday just got poped ugh.
as for BLS, if its like the wii. could be fun. have to wait & see.
try the game guys, is not that bad. I actually like it
Having played the full game im happy with it. Everything works well the only downer is not having to defend in football. Simply seeing a message saying if they scored or not is lame.
Oh and why not tell us in the demo that stepping forward makes you hit harder in tennis?
i've rented it, but i only like 3 out of 3.
why even have football in there? soccer is what they should have done it like.
Picked up Season 2 at Walmart for $15

European Insurer Rules to Boost Volatility, Allianz, Zurich Say
European rules being introduced in 2013 will make the insurance industry's capital more volatile, according to Allianz SE and Zurich Financial Services AG.
Allianz's solvency ratio, a measure of financial strength, could fluctuate as much as 40 percentage points in a worst-case scenario as the new regime requires a market-based valuation for long-term guarantees offered to customers, Oliver Baete, chief financial officer of Europe's biggest insurer, told reporters in Munich today.
"It's unavoidable that solvency ratios will be more volatile under the new regime," Zurich CFO Dieter Wemmer said at the same event. "Long-term life insurance products are not adequately reflected in the new framework."
The Solvency II rules, being adopted by Allianz and other European insurers, are designed to strengthen reserves to protect policyholders against a decline in investment markets. Zurich, Switzerland's largest insurer, is already subject to the Swiss solvency test, a similar framework introduced in January.
"We need a regulatory regime that stays as close as possible to what was tested in the recent quantitative impact study, otherwise we'll get a system that we haven't tested in real life," Wemmer said. Solvency II was tested from August to November in a fifth quantitative impact study, named QIS5.
The only alternative would be another test, "which would mean a delay of the introduction of Solvency II," said Baete.
The new rules, designed to help the industry withstand future financial crises by better aligning their capital with the risks they take on, are being developed by the European Commission and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, or Eiopa, along with local regulators.
"We have to find a solution for the remaining open points during this summer to make Solvency II a working regime from its introduction in 2013," Wemmer said.

Life In Spite of Me: Extraordinary Hope After a Fatal Choice
Mon, 28 Jun 2010 - 8:50 AM CST
For those suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts, it can be a long journey back to hope and wellness, as reflected in Life In Spite of Me, the story of Kristen Jane Anderson as told to Tricia Goyer.
This powerful memoir tells the life story of Kristen Jane Anderson before, during and after the suicide attempt that led to the loss of her legs. It covers the history of depression in her family, the deaths of friends and a family member and a rape by a friend that pushed her deep into depression as she was entering her final year in high school. This depression led her to make the choice to lie down on the railroad tracks near her home and attempt to take her life. She shouldn't have survived, but believes that God saved her for a greater purpose.
The greater part of the memoir focuses on Kristen's life after the suicide attempt and her journey to find hope in Jesus Christ. After her accident, she discovers the emptiness in the life she had led before and comes to an understanding of who God is and accepts Him as her Savior. She eventually decides that she is being called into ministry and starts the "Reaching You" ministry that reaches out to people who are struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts.
Pros: This memoir gives hope and strength to those who may be struggling with depression and understanding of the disorder even to those who are not. Also, between some chapters she includes touching notes with the things she wishes that someone had told her when she was struggling with depression.
Cons: In the memoir, Kristen makes the decision to go off her antidepressants. The dangers of going off antidepressants are not fully acknowledged. Some sufferers of clinical depression will have to be on antidepressants for their whole lives.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

From Our Editors
Boston Avenue Salon owner Pamela Fodor uses chemistry and science every day, but after 21 years as a professional cosmetologist and 4 years as a teacher, she has turned science into an art. "If I could do one service all day, every day, it would be women's cuts and highlighting services. I take pride in hitting the baby-blonde lites every time with no toner," she says. She honed her skills treating the hair of more than 200 brides and thousands more prom-goers. One client even flew Pamela out to Hawaii to ensure she was on-hand to style hair on the wedding day.
Pamela pairs her services with those of her staff, who invite clients to sip on complimentary coffee, tea, water, beer, or wine while enjoying a bit of well-earned beautifying and pampering. The decor echoes the duo's classic sense of style with a combination of black and white elements accented by glass furnishings. The walls sport images of equally classic beauty, such as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and the Rat Pack, a bunch of rats who accidentally tied themselves together by the tail and wound up resembling Cary Grant's profile.

Going for the up-to-the-ears Justice Lords one-piece cape thingie, huh?

Like the red belt.
When Wizard magazine was still on shelves, they had a section where they challenged some artists to redesign the Superman hero. J Scott Campbell kicked ass. This is one of those kickass moments.

It might be hard to imagine, but there was a time when nachos didn't exist. Or hamburgers. Or chocolate chip cookies. Every food that we eat, except for the real staples like rice, was invented at some point by someone. We rounded up ten of those inventors, and the stories behind some of your favorite foods are fascinating.
Who Invented Your Favorite Foods? (Slideshow)
When we're eating, we tend to not think about the history and historical context of the food in front of us. We tend to just think about how tasty (or not tasty) it is.But behind every food item lurks a story; many have been lost to the ages (nobody really knows how bread came to be, for example, or pizza), but the stories behind some of the world's most popular foods are still around.
Learning about the histories behind popular foods is important for anyone who considers themselves to be a food lover.
So read on to learn the histories behind ten popular foods. We guarantee that by the time you're done you'll have learned something, and will also most likely be at least a little hungry.

Meters fluke or field pice
Sounds like bad reversing valve cioil or reversing valve relay.
I work for a schol district.we have lots of old units .when we get a coil leak. And the coil cant be fixed .we have used leak freze.
It works about 60% of the time. Never have had compressor issues....
Johnstone can hook you with the fujitsos tec line.
Line. These units can be finicky some times.
Holy crap.how long has this been going on.
That is realy scary.
It seems to me here in southern cal that heat is also an issue.
At least thats the way it seems.
I agree power surges are also an issue.
Goodman has come along way .
I have installed hundreds of systems with very few problums.
Sounds to me like an over charge or bad compressor valves.
The charge on these mashines is very critcal and should be whegd in.
Thanks guys i am going to change the valve out.
N8MPLO75F16A1 this unit will not prove pilot.it has a honeywell smart valve SV9541.
I replaced the pilot assembly with includes the flame senser and hot serfece ignitor.
burners fired for about 3...
That would be helpful.
You realy need another contracror to come out and varifify the furnace was properly installed.
There are to many issues whith this unit.
If the unit was reciculating comustion / vented gass wich...
Custermer said its working fine so i did not go back out there.maybe something to do with the 110f temps we had here.
Thanks for all your replies.
I will going back to this job on saturday.
I will keep you posted.
Cleaned condenssor coils.no strip heat .but i am going to check the return air ducts.
Went out on this call .customer states that unit intermittently stops cooling and eventually starts cooling again.
This is what i found. R22 system.
Suction 80 head 350 superheat 60 sub cooling...
Ok thanks for the reply.
What is the torch method??
What is the best dropin replacement for R22.
I have been useing the hot shot.seems to work well.
just wanted to see what you guys are useing.
Both carrier and goodman are decent units.
The most important thing is that the system is properly installed.
What about new 22 .I have used it with good results.
What method are you using.?
I agree .i do not do duct cleaning.but you realy cant clean flex properly without damaging the liner.
You would be better off replacing the ducts.
This could be caused by a dirty evap coil or running the a/ c at low temps.
This causes inseffient oil return to the copressor.
I wish this site had spell check.lol
That's pretty cool.we just did 2of our schools with wireless thermostats.
They are viconics t.e.c.s the com bus is wireless .
They are working with the I'vue front end.
Yah I wall was looking at the ecoobe nest honywell and radio control.
I wasn't aware of the pneumatic stats.
Has anyone had any experience with wifi thermostats.?
They seem to be getting more popular .
I used that crap once on an old zone air wall mount heat pump .
And it clogged the cap tube.
I would not use it again.
I have to agree there is know way you are going to condition that space.
I think a hydronic system would have been better for this situation.
A chilled water system would be much more forgiving....
Sounds like an airflow issue or dirty evap coil.
If that furnace is 30 years old you should have it checked by a pro before you use it.
For the safety of you and your family.call a pro.
Have you considerd using a mini split ductless system.
these are nice units for a home with no duct work,
they are very efficient and quiet.they can be zoned so you on heat or cool the rooms
This guy is putting your safety at risk and you are not going to learn anything,
Get out asap.
God bless you and your family.
Sounds like something you would like if you like gadgets.
If you use a decent setback thermostat program it to suit your life style at a temperature that you are comfortable with.That should be all...
I agree sure sounds like there is a return air leak in the attic,
Make sure all panels on air handler are in place .also are there any obstructions around the condensing unit .leaves on condenser...
I have seen these leaks on Carlyle scrolls and tried to fix them but now when i see them i just change them out.
Ok did not know you were joking.
Peace out.
Robo Teg
Arrogant comments not needed here,I did not read all 10 pages of the thread.
so keep your arrogant comments to yourself.
It sounds like you may have voltage problems in your area.
or a low charge and not enough cooling back to the compressor
Holy Crap that sucks.I always try to be careful on ladders.
have had a couple of minor falls in my thirty years in the field but nothing like yours.
Get well soon.and thank god it was not alot...
Jonstone supply has them.
I have a set of digimonds .first set would not read vacume took them back to johnstone
they sent them to revco.revco replaced them with a new set.so far no probloums
It would be best to have a new system properly installed.
you will be happy with the results if it is done proprely.
Rat dropings are toxic. the best thing to do would be replace that section of duct work.
Are you sure there is not more damage that you cant see.
these thing are nasty desgusting creatures that can...
Check to make sure you have a good ground clean connections sounds like a trane voyager.those units can be a nightmere.onlyother thing would be sensors.i always change the board and sensers so i know...
Anyone checked out the digimod set sold at Johnstone?
Is that a crack i see at the top off the door.?
I think i would be using the fireplace.
There is supposed to be a safety switch in the furnece that does not allow the main burner to fire unless the combustion air blower starts pushing the correct amout of air to the burner compartment...

Let's compare Utah schools with the Utah Transit Authority.
Our legislators justify highly paid officials for the UTA along with a cadre of expensive lobbyists and say they must pay salaries higher than the largest transit systems in the country to get results.
The same legislators routinely strangle school budgets to keep them at the bottom of the nation in funding per student because "you can't solve a problem by throwing money at it." Then they blame the teachers when we struggle to stay at or above the national average in test scores.
UTA General Manager's salary & benefits = $319,360, with 9 others earning over $200,000 per year.
Utah Superintendent of Education salary & benefits = $252,959, with 1 other at the State Office of Education earning over $200,000.

Well, obviously teachers can't be trusted to make objective decisions. They
are only after money, money and more money. They'll say anything to get
their greedy little hands on more of the taxpayers' hard-earned money.
After all, that's why they became teachers in the first place right? So
they could make loads of money, right?
Oh, wait.....

I am working on a church website. The church website has a calendar.
When I embed the Google Calendar on a page, the times of the events display correctly: 9 am, 10 am, and 6 pm.
However, when I pull the calendar feed into Google Calendar Widget, the times of the events display one hour later: 10 am, 11 am, and 7 pm.
I have already confirmed the following

I am in Eastern Time Zone (U.S.)
What's happening here?
Is there any way to configure the plugin so that it always displays the correct times of the events?

Do we really want the first female president of the United States to have been invited to the national stage not because of her individual achievements but because of the person shes married to?
that will not be the reason she is president. besides, those voters are countered by the voters who still will just not vote for a woman.
if she wins, she will win because she's qualified, and because she ran the gauntlet best.
I'd love to vote for a woman, but I'd really like to get the Clinton name out of the white house. I love Bill to pieces, but it is time to move on with some fresh blood.
but it makes me a little queasy, too.
America's Eva Peron. How fitting.
her whole candidacy is so anti-feminist it's embarrassing. marrying her way into the whitehouse, trolling for votes based on her ownership of a vagina, being married to bill clinton... it's a step back for women, not forward.
Yeah, when Bill Clinton was potius thing really, really sucked. It was awful - no war, great economy, balanced budget. People are just stupid to want that again.
people aren't stupid for wanting that, but they are extremely stupid - possibly retarded - for assuming that another clinton presidency will bring those changes about.
and what's the assumption behind that - that hillary is just bill's puppet? hmmm...
Its valid to consider feminist arguements not to vote for Clinton, but you haven't made a strong case here. So some people in a poll said they were voting for her because they liked her husband. This point doesn't capture the complexity of the phenomena that is HRC.
I wish people would take a closer look at HRC's career. She's pushed for many feminists objectives in a way that can be integrated into the mainstream dialogue of American life. I realize progressives aren't happy that she compromises with the right, but that's politics.
@7. i prefer to think that all this time bill has been hillary's puppet.
HRC is much smarter than Evita. The reason she is not more famous than her husband is because the Rep machine crushed her when she became first lady and they felt she was too "uppity". She is a smart lady, and has tons of accomplishments including becoming one of the more powerful voices in the senate as well as taking a senate seat which Giuliani felt was his birth right. To be honest,there is really not going to be much difference between her and Obama. Theyre both centrist democrats. As far as women's rights, the Bush supreme court will destroy those in the coming years.
I think Edwards is the least centrist of the two.
Hillary is a highly intelligent and accomplished woman with or without Bill; in fact, if she hadn't been first lady throughout the 90s, I bet we would have seen her if office far sooner.
They are a couple with similar ambitions. I have no problem with that whatsoever. I call it a smart marriage. They're both power players and they seem like equals in their relationship-- which is pretty impressive considering he was the president. Give me that kind of marriage any day over the Laura Bush's simpering, "Don't ask me, I'm just a girl!" attitude. What should make you queasy is the thought of having another marriage like that in the White House (this would be from the Republicans, of course; all the Dems seem to have pretty kick-ass spouses, at least the front runners. Though the Kucinich's marriage still creeps me out).
I agree, Annie. Condi should be President.
how many people voted for George Bush Jr. just because his father was president? i bet a whole lotta folk.
Its worth noting that the first most popular reason for supporting a given candidate (experience) often undoubtedly translates into HRCs time in the White House as First Lady
Um, Clinton has been a senator for 6 years. Obama has been a senator for 2 years. Do you count being male as having experience, as many bosses do? What would people say if Clinton had Obama's resume? She'd be laughed out of her candidacy.
It's okay to be a feminist and not vote for Hillary, but this seems to me like rationalization than an actual argument.
You've basically started with: I don't want to vote for Hillary. What can I do that prove that voting for Hillary is anti-feminist. Oh, how about this?
Like I said, vote for her, don't vote for her, you don't have to rationalize it to me. But don't equate rationalization with a valid argument.
I'll just point out that when someone says a reason to vote for Hillary is because she's "Married to Bill Clinton", this can mean several things that are neither pro- nor anti-feminist. Like the fact that Bill had a well oiled political machine with demonstrated victories that she can (and has) tapped into. And that he would be an excellent "ambassador at large" to the world- and GOD knows we need to some major 'splainin' to our friends around the world.
I'm surprised you've got nothing on Ron Paul, whose even for legalizing marijuana.
This argument tends to hair-splitting. Can a housewife be a feminist? If so it shouldn't matter if her husband is rich or not. Trying to equate being a First Lady with simply wanting to marry rich is a specious argument, they don't equal one another. Do married rich women have more access to power than poor married women? Of course they do, but is one closer to a feminist ideal than the other? Not unless you apply points for poverty. HRC always had her own career outside of Bill's. She also managed to raise a daughter who has become fairly successful in her own right academically and in her chosen field of endeavor. HRC is a career woman, wife, and mother, whose husband is also successful. What more does she need to do meet the feminist standard?
You are eating your own young Annie.
I in no way agree that Hillary is not qualified to be president on her own "individual achievements" (and it's not her fault if some people are voting for her for the "wrong" reason)....but assuming for the sake of argument that she isn't, how long are you willing to wait for a woman to be elected president on her own merits? I mean, do you think that will happen anytime soon? Maybe around the time women achieve equal pay?
Are you letting the perfect be the enemy of the good here?
This is the fallacy of assuming that if stupid people agree with your position, your position must be stupid.
yes, in some counterfactual universe, hillary probably beat bill to the presidency. but in the world we all live in, the only reason anyone knows her name is because she was married to the president for 8 years, which she then leveraged to get a seat in the senate. that anyone can fashion a pro-feminist argument for her based on such credentials is rather alarming.
whats worse, when you have people like maya angelou and barbra streisand shilling for her, and the top credentials they cite are based on her gender, anyone who considers themselves a feminist should be horrified. you cant say gender doesnt matter, except when it does.
I haven't bothered to think in a lot of depth about the candidates yet, partially because I'll support whichever Democrat gets the nomination. But whenever I've had a discussion about Hillary, my complaint has been that I'd prefer if the first female president wasn't the wife of a former president.
Doesn't mean I won't vote for her. Just my gut reaction from the beginning.
These are valid points on Hillary Clinton, as there are many women more qualified than her for the presidency. If the first woman president is not very successful, her failures will be used by chauvanists to keep women out of the White House for another century. Feminists should look very critically at Senator Clinton.
Brandon: I guess Hillary Clinton should have had equal life experience as Bill Clinton.
Oh wait, Bill's college didn't allow women to attend until Hillary was 23. Bill Clinton won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford in 1968 -- Rhodes Scholarships were a male-only award until 1977. When Bill was elected as governor, there had been only 6 female governors in the entire history of the United States.
It seems to me that Bill Clinton had a hell of a lot more advantages by being male than Hillary got by marrying him.
OK, I clearly need to clarify.
Is Hillary an anti-feminist? Is she running an anti-feminist campaign? Of course not. However, she's using everything at her disposal to put herself ahead--as she should, it's a political campaign--and one of those things is her relationship to Bill Clinton. If she wins, it will not be exclusively because she was First Lady any more than it will be exclusively because of her record in the Senate. But she wouldn't have been elected had either of these factors been absent.
I don't think it's stupid to support Hillary Clinton, and I think she's fully qualified to be president--I think everyone running is qualified except perhaps Paul, Tancredo, and Kucinich. I simply think it would be sad if the first female president of the United States was previously First Lady, and it's definitely sad that that's a proven factor in people's support for her candidacy.
My reasons for preferring Obama, by the way, are completely separate from this issue--no one should not vote for Hillary exclusively because of this unfortunate historical alignment. Furthermore, I will absolutely vote for Hillary if she wins the nomination.
Rhodes Scholarships were male-only until 1977? Holy shit. I don't know why that's so shocking to me (of all the historical inequalities, why that one), but, wow.
Annie, let's put it this way:
Whoever wins will have used everything at their disposal to put themselves ahead. That's just how it is. So let it be written, so let it be done.
hey, i'm not dissing hillary for not having the same advantages as bill. what i'm saying is simply that all the feminist arguments being made in hillary's favor aren't very feminist. quite the opposite, in fact.
if she's done stuff to advance women's rights, then by all means, cite those things. but don't just say she's "my girl", or that you want to be able to say "madame president." that's just insulting.
full confession: i don't like her. i want to, but i don't. and it has nothing to do with her gender and everything to do with her going on national television and lying, making her husband's apologists [among whom i counted myself at the time] look like a bunch of fools. i don't forget these things.
Brandon's grasp of feminism is weak, in my opinion.
This conversation reminds me that quote about Ginger Rogers, about how she was as good a dancer as Fred Astaire, except she danced backwards and in high heels.
Annie, I would really like an article along these lines to be in the paper itself.
the 2 feminists i live with cite these 2 reasons for supporting hillary:
1. she's a woman.
2. she's married to bill clinton.
when i say that a black man in the white house is also a step forward, i get:
1. he's not experienced enough.
2. he's not that black.
3. women have been an oppressed minority longer than blacks.
when i point out that they're NOT a minority, the conversation stops.
that said, i could give a shit who is president as long as its not a fucking republican. nothing essential changes.
If she's not anti-feminist, and not running an anti-feminist campaign, and she's "fully qualified to be president," then what on earth is "the feminist case against Hillary Clinton"?
Any data on whether the elections of, say, Benazir Bhutto and Indira Gandhi set back women's rights in their respective countries?
hey, i'm a guy. naturally my grasp of feminism is weak. i've been reading slog for a while, so i'm well aware of this fact.
but how about this - instead of just saying that, how about *explaining* exactly how weak my grasp of feminism is? i'd honestly like to know.
I think what you're missing is WHY someone would support someone because they are married to fmr Pres. Bill Clinton.
How many woman got behind Hilary after seeing her deal with her husbands cheating in front of the nation? How many people see her marriage as an indicator of her strength and fortitude?
I'm pretty happy with either Obama or Clinton. I'll enthusiastically support either one in the general. I'm wary of Clinton more because of the political dynasty thing than because of any issues with her experience or positions. I'm wary of Obama because of that slap in the face he delivered to the gays. But these warries don't tarry long, and I'll merrily watch either bury the Republican nominee.
I agree with Josef, I actually like all the Dem candidates. Not so keen on Biden, but he's still better than any of the Reds. But I'm really excited about all the qualified potential VP choices for President Obama to choose from! Including Dodd, who is fun, and Richardson.
You claimed that her "whole candidacy is so anti-feminist it's embarrassing" but the examples you cited were:
"marrying her way into the whitehouse, trolling for votes based on her ownership of a vagina"
"the only reason anyone knows her name is because she was married to the president for 8 years, which she then leveraged to get a seat in the senate"
According to you, an anti-feminist is someone who uses sex for advantage, either directly or indirectly. Anti-feminists are people who would deny autonomy to a woman based upon her sex. Hillary can hardly be described as someone who lacks autonomy.
You also said "you cant say gender doesnt matter, except when it does." To be honest, I don't think you know what you're talking about, but it sounds like you are saying that feminists believe that gender isn't important*. Quite the opposite.
Take pregnancy for example. If feminists thought gender wasn't important then they would expect to give birth to a child without missing a single day of a regular 9-5 work schedule. Not so. Feminists do seek allowances from society to accomodate gender differences without sacrificing autonomy.
*I'll leave the gender/sex discussion for another time.
You forget that being married to Bill is very much a double edged sword.
Yes, it helps with the name recognition thing. And yes, Bill Clinton was pretty popular.
However, there are a lot of negatives tied to that association as well. There are a LOT of people out there who WON'T vote for her because she's married to Bill. The Clintons (both of them) are absolutely red meat to the blathering right wing.
On balance, I'm not convinced that being married to Bill is an entirely positive thing. It helps with one block of voters, and hurts with another.
feminism, as i was taught: gender doesnt matter, and our goal should be a society that transcends it.
if you want to say shes the best candidate because shes a woman and i'm not leveling this charge at anyone here, but many of her supporters make this argument - then youre also saying gender matters. If those are the rules you want to play by, then fine. but dont get upset when someone makes the case that she *cant* be president because shes a woman. for those at home keeping score, this argument is equally valid if gender matters is one of your premises.
what i am saying is screw her gender, what does her record show? everybody says it speaks for itself. apparently so much so that no one cares to actually cite it. well fuck me for valuing a candidate based on their record and not the presence or absence of a vagina. if that makes me sexist, i accept the title with honor.
so this is what i mean when i say anti-feminist. i stand by it.
Am I the only one who finds it hilarious that 2% people answered that they support HRC "because he's african american, and it's time for that?"
The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof expressed the same concern Annie has in an excellent column back in June.
There is one important counterargument raised, perhaps not surprisingly, by my wife. It is that if our aim is to open up the political system and broaden opportunity, then what better way than to elect a woman?
Its true that the election of a first woman (or black or Hispanic) might well nourish the American political system, just as the election of John Kennedy as the first Catholic did in 1960. But, as in Argentina or Bangladesh, the election of a first woman loses much of its significance if she has enjoyed a political shortcut as a predecessors wife.
I can think of one sadder commentary on this nation than the prospect that we will have gotten our first female president by the Eva Peron route. And that is that we're talking about meta crap like this more than we are about real issues.
I'd been an Obama supporter, but now I'm leaning toward Clinton if only because her health-care plan comes with a mandate. Maybe by the time Washington's {primary/caucus/straw poll/beauty pageant} rolls around, I'll end up voting for Obama or Edwards. As others have noted, it won't be hard for me to get behind the eventual nominee, whoever it is.
@38 SDA in SEA
Saying that Hillary would "galvanize the Republican base" is a Republican talking point, and as such serves their interests. We know that all their talking points are calculated, so what are they trying to achieve?
Well, taken at face value it would discourage Democrats from selecting Clinton. Why would the Republicans want to do that? Easy. They don't want to face Clinton, who has withstood 16 years of attacks from the Republican machine. They'd rather face Obama, who has only two years of experience in Washington and is black.
Honestly I just don't think that our Founding Fathers(TM) would like something like this....
A former President being back in the house by way of spouse.
Then again, they didn't write in term limits. And they could have never imagined a woman in power. So whatever
You're saying that its anti-feminist for women to vote for women because they're women.
In a perfect world, we could select candidates purely because of their record, but there's a big difference between the values and ideals we aspire to and strategies and tactics we pursue to bring them to life. If women didn't band together, do you think they'd even be able to vote?
@41: Thanks. I'd read that column, but forgotten about it.
Oddly--because I'm all for "socialized medicine"--I like Obama's health plan better. The fact that it's not mandatory means it has a better chance of passing Congress. And the fact that it's not mandatory means there will be political will to push further toward true national health care after it's in place. Everything about this election has me thinking in paradoxes.
no, i'm saying it's anti-feminist to argue for the legitimacy of a candidate based entirely upon their gender. it flies in the face of everything i've been taught about feminism and gender politics.
let's not forget, we're talking about the most powerful position in the world. to make your selection based entirely upon the candidate's novelty, while casting aside their record, or their extremely shady past [and, well, present] just somehow doesn't seem like a very good idea to me.
hey, i agree that it would be a big step for our country to have a female president. i think we're beyond ready for it. but making the case for her based entirely on her gender, while not even pausing to consider her record is icky. to me, at least.
Brandon, all feminism shit is based solely on gender. The female gender.
Yeah I said it.
Annie @41, great comment. I think you just put me tentatively back in the Obama camp with that comment alone. Call me easily swayed.
Speaking of New York Times columnists, it was Paul Krugman's Nov. 30 column on the lack of a mandate in the Obama health-care plan that really freaked me out. He followed it up with another column Friday.
Then last night I got to reading a response to Krugman by David Cutler, Obama's health-care adviser. I didn't necessarily agree with it, but it came across as sensible enough. Sorry, can't find the link now. Now Annie, as you say, when you throw in the politics of it all, we may very well have a better chance of achieving a health-care mandate by not immediately pushing for a health-care mandate.
Just to add a little perspective here, and forgive me for going even further off-topic
It absolutely makes some Hillary supporters' skin crawl any time anyone tries to compare Obama to his fellow inexperienced Illinois legislator Abraham Lincoln. But in 1860, Abraham Lincoln did not campaign for president as an abolitionist; he campaigned as a moderate who would seek a kind of truce with the South. If Lincoln had campaigned as an abolitionist, who knows how much longer it would have taken for the forces of history to get around to freeing the slaves?
Oops, I meant Annie @45.
People might be supporting HRC because
1) she is married to bill therefore has similar views to bill
2) they trust her on the important stuff (as they trusted bill on the important stuff).
this is different than electing her because of the fact of her marriage.
self disclosure: I would prefer the class awareness of Edwards or the anti war stance of Richardson but will support HRC. over Obama due to his inexperience, health plan ( I trust krugman) and his incompetence regarding gay issues. I like that HRC plays hardball with opponents. The republicans are not going to roll over and play dead after the election.
Ok, WTF. You think that because she was married to the prez that she is somehow anti-feminist? What about McCain divoring his first wife to marry to a richer woman who was politically connected?
Also, HRC was well on the route to being a politician, and didnt "get into the senate" because of Bill. She graduated top of Wesley College, worked as a TOP LAWYER during the bill presidency, was appointed to committees based on her education and experience as an attorney.
She might have name recognition, but come on, every candidate for president either married into money/power or was born into it. HRC at least has the power in congress and goodwill on the international stage that very few else have. She has also seen first hand the stress of a presidency, so she is well equipped to handle it.
To say that "oh its so sad the first female president is the wife of Bill" is BS. Without Bill she would be on the path of the white house. Study her education, work, and congress path and you will see. I think she could easily have taken senator if she had never married Bill, and probably would have had it sooner.
I call FUCKING BULLSHIT.
"Married to Elizabeth Edwards" is one of my top reasons for supporting John Edwards.
Monique, please read me @25. Hillary is not anti-feminist. Voting for her is not an anti-feminist action. Still, it's possible to have reservations about her candidacy that come from a specifically feminist perspective.
I vigorously dispute your contention that she would be "on the path to the White House" without Bill. Plenty of people have stellar resumes; the vast majority of them do not have a chance to run for president.
Furthermore, not every candidate "married into money/power or was born into it." You need to read up on your candidates.
The flipside: Would I have voted for Bill if he wasn't married to Hillary?
Answer: No. She's smarter, more poised, and more aggressive.
Would I vote for Barack if he weren't married to Michelle?
Answer: No. She's smarter, more poised, and more aggressive.
We often vote for men because we view their spouses as assets. I have no problem viewing Hillary's marriage to Bill as a plus.
calling ECB's hillary article "smart" really seems unfair. let me sum it up:
"should women vote for hillary because she is a woman? well, i don't necessarily agree with all her policies and plans - in fact, i like edwards better - and studies have shown that men with daughters (both obama and edwards have daughters) tend to vote more in favor of feminist issues than even women, but tee-hee, i'm just a girl so i should vote for the girl, even if she's not the best candidate or the one who best represents my views."
it's patently anti-feminist as it judges the candidates simply on which one pees sitting down.
it's as if i had said "i think hillary is the best candidate, but i am voting for edwards because he's a white male and we white males need to stick together."
also, the reason hillary's "experience" gets scrutinized is because SHE points to it as the reason she should be elected. she is absolutely qualified and talented enough to be president, but "experience"? please.
i'm with you annie - makes me queasy too.
I have been saying this for months, just not so eloquently. I want a woman president, just not a woman who is primarily defined by her husband. Thank-you for posting it :)
Nobody's reading this anymore, but Jamier or Jaimer or Je T'aimer [I forgot] - Clinon has four more years than Obama as a senator, but what did she do in the senate? Voted for the war. Proposed altering the Constitution to ban flag burning. So I have no interest in her. And Obama held elected office before his senate job, unlike Clinton, who got there straight from her wife gig. And he did stuff, including getting very important death penalty legislation passed in Illinois.

Danish Blue Cheese Salad
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 0 mins
This recipe is from Scandinavian Feasts by Beatrice Ojakangas. Everyone in my family loves it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 quart lettuce leaf (small new tender garden lettuce, or butter lettuce)
- 1 bunch radish, cleaned and thinly sliced (small baby sized radishes)
- 1⁄2 cup cucumber, sliced paper-thin (about 2-inch section of cucumber)
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1⁄4 lb danish blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 pinch dry mustard
- 1 pinch sugar
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Wash and dry the lettuce and place in a serving bowl.
- Add radishes, cucumber, and onion. Sprinkle with the blue cheese.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, mustard, sugar, and vinegar. Whisk in the salad oil.
- Just before serving, stir the dressing again, and pour over the salad.
Most Helpful
Another "weird" recipe, but REALLY good. I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but purchased the Danish Blue Cheese to test this recipe. I didn't have any greens. I put a little dressing on the radishes, cukes, onion and blue cheese and loved it. Next time, I'll add some shrimp and have a nice lunch salad. This is absolutely a winner, and a recipe I'll be making often.
This salad turns ordinary ingredients into colorful, light and tasty salad. The dressing was very light in flavor; perfect to go with the crumbled blue cheese. You could throw some cooked shrimp or crabmeat on this and make it a meal. Thanx for sharing!
Good, but not wow. I enjoyed using the radishes, as they are one of my favorites. In place of the "pinch of sugar" I used about a 1/2 tsp of honey and in place of the salt I used seasoning salt; both were great subs. I think the dressing was good, but the salad itself wasn't a show-stopper. Made for an easy lunch though.

Those were the first words that came to mind for poet Sam
Hunt when asked by the Otago Daily Times what advice he would
give to a young person thinking of writing poetry for a
But, after a moment of lighthearted reflection, Hunt had a
great many more words to add - and all of them much more
encouraging. Hunt (67) was the guest of a new Wanaka event
called the Outspoken Festival of Words and Storytelling which
started yesterday.
Also on the bill was Kasper Humphrey (16), fresh from a
successful performance at the Mount Aspiring College senior
prizegiving. Hunt said if aspiring poets ''in love with the
shape and sound of words'' could not give it up, then they
should stick to the principles of ''listening to the sound of
the word''.
''So, listen to the words. Listen to them. You don't have to
understand them. The understanding will come later.
''And, when you get a poem right ... there's nothing like it.
''I raid banks and I make lots of money that way. But that's
not as satisfying for me. I take my balaclava off and I
think, 'Yeah, well, that was not as satisfying as the last
poem I did'.''
Hunt said he was loath to give advice but went on to suggest
aspiring poets should ''go for it''.
''And when people say, 'you can't live on poetry', just say
'well, you can actually'.
''I've proven it.
''I've made a reasonable living.
''I pay my bills.''
Asked if he had any advice for a poet as experienced as Hunt,
Mr Humphrey said he did not think he had.
That reminded Hunt of touring as a young man with poet Denis
Glover, who wrote The Magpies.
''If anyone had asked me at that time what advice I would
