I drive them forever and I look into resale - if my new car is totalled within the first few years of ownership and the resale value has tanked, I won't get as much back from the insurance company as I might with a brand that holds its value better.
Here's a good way to figure out depreciation of your projected new ride:
True Cost to Own
The winner is a baby blue Santa Fe 2007 SE - they added leather seats for free. I traded a 2001 Ford with 65K on it that I bought used in 2001 that needed $2500 worth of work done to it (sending unit in gas tank for one).
Hence the resale value worry. I keep cars for 5 years and tend to pay them off early (kept Hondas I owned for 6+ years and still got 5K or more in trade for them). Resale value is a fact of life if that is your down payment!
Anyway, I LOVE the car.. and I have the 3.3 and I am getting 19.5 MPG IN TOWN!!! My Ford got 16 in town (and it was a Taurus Wagon). Thanks all for the input...
:surprise: Anyone have an opion on buying a "bra" for it... ?
What is entailed to keep it clean? I am in FL and thinking about our twice a year love bug infestation.. :sick: nasty things have acid in their bodies.. do real damage to paint.
Also, can this roof rack carry a canoe? Any advice on that?
I have the SE 3.3 with a third row seat. :blush:
The dealer suggests you remove it twice a year and give the truck a good detailing ( wax ). I suggest removing it each time you have it washed and wax the car 3 times a year IMO. Cant hurt. Dirt will get under it and collect. Be warned, it is a pain to install the first time until it stretches. Once the bra has aclimated to the shape of the truck its a breeze to remove and re-install. Visit my carspace site and you can see the one I installed on my wifes 07 Entourage SE. I will have a pic of the Santa Bra soon. As for the canoe the answer is yes unless its gross weight exceeds 175lbs.
What you can sell your used car for is different than the price a dealer will sell the same car for - that gap is noted when you Appraise your used car. That's why there are Trade-In, Private Party and Dealer Retail prices listed for used cars and there is about a $2,000 difference between trade in and retail price for a 2005 Mazda3i, as one example (link).
If you are buying new then your target to beat is True Market Value.
Sure these numbers are posted on a site as an estimate (guide) that has NOTHING to do with the market. Here is the same car(05 Mazda3I 4door) here is what you can but it for at auction if you have a license(Manheim):
Auction Averages For Week Ending Jan 11
Above Average Below
Sale Price $13,463 $11,585 $ 9,707
Mileage 18,065 31,484 44,903
Average Auction Mileage 31484 ($11,585!!!!)
This is as of last week...your dealer retail is what dealers are paying for it in REAL life!
Here is the Civic...your Edmunds trade is: $9528 (5M DX)
Auction Averages For Week Ending Jan 11
Above Average Below
Sale Price $12,664 $11,328 $9,992
Mileage 13,552 27,104 40,656
So the Mazda is bringing MORE money with more miles!!!! Unlike what your"Guide" says.

ojaijohn Posts: 7I had a vinyl bra on a '95 T-Bird that did far more paint damage than if no bra had been installed. It was removed each week and the hood was waxed once each month, but the small grit that collected under it between cleanings acted as sandpaper and really wore down the paint. If you put one of these on your car you will regret it.
The day we bought a new Accord for the Mrs. we took it to a tint shop and had the clear 3M film applied. Two years later the hood still looks like new. No difference in paint color and the film has not yellowed. A much better choice than vinyl paint protection.

carrito Posts: 38I am thinking of buying a SUV this fall or by the end of the 2007 year. I like very much the SF my only concern is the mpg. Nissan will have the Rogue that goes on sale this fall with same looks (exterior) as the SF but with a 4 cylinder engine 2.5 liter motor 170hp and a CVT it promisses better mpg. not so sure I'll like the interior as much as the SF.
link title
Went to the Nissan website, future vehicles. Rogue looks pretty good - has iPod and Bluetooth and a Bose option. Although it's too early to tell if what Nissan advertises on their website, will ultimately transition into production. Only fly in the ointment? No Navigation System! Nav is a MUST HAVE option for me.

More recently I started hosting a private play space for bi couples along with a few select biguys and a lovely gurl who really likes to play hot and hard. We have had a couple of sessions in the late afternoons and nooners. I set up the play time as most of the clubs in the area frown on male:male bi play and there are quite a few couples who are looking for all bi all the time for both partners. So far we have really enjoyed ourselves. The most recent playtime was with D&J along with T gurl and I. This was their first time with a gurl and they got right into it. Another mmf sandwich with T fucking D and me fucking T - we did not forget J's nice hard cock which everyone was sucking on. More fun to cum as we get more folks involved in the nooners and afternoon delights. Mojo

text: In this earnest Spanish drama, directed by Icíar Bollaín, Pilar (Laia Marull), a victimized woman, struggles to regain her self-respect and to break free from Antonio, her abusive husband (Luis Tosar). Antonio—who truly loves her—makes a real effort to change, but he is too frustrated with life and too emotionally stunted to succeed. Spain has lately been coming to terms with domestic violence, until recently a taboo subject, and this film, with its scenes of group therapy and traditional forms of denial (Pilar's mother insists that she return to the husband who beats and terrorizes her), is a step in the process. This is a good thing, and the brutality and humiliation that the movie shows seem very real, but, in the end, the film's artlessness gives it the feel of a tragic case study. In Spanish.

Neighborhoods: Adams, Ballard
Delicious Thai – Jhanjay is the newest kid on the Thai block in Ballard and is quite possibly the very best one. Ironically, it's vegetarian. I've eaten here several times and have always been impressed by depth of flavor, quality of ingredients and their friendly service. Recently I had a craving for green onion pancake, yeah technically it's not really Thai, but I ordered a serving to go, they were extremely accommodating. The pancake honestly was not one of the best in Seattle, served with a peanut sauce, that's probably the Thai interpretation. The Tom Kha, the Thai version of sweet and sour soup with coconut milk was fantastic, with just the right amount of kick for my taste, hints of lemongrass evident, a plethora of veggies and steamed tofu (you can also pick fried). I like that they offer the cup or bowl option, if you want a bit of soup with your meal. Curries are fragrant, my standard red curry didn't stand out as the best ever, but a good solid rendition. Jhanjay is well priced, most dishes under $10. I'd like to go back with a group so we can try more dishes, including some of their house specialties.
The space is also a plus, very clean, exposed brick, well lit and overall a pleasant environment. I promise, you won't miss the meat. They do standard Thai fare very well in a beautiful setting with attentive service.
Best Thai food in Seattle! – Finally there is a great Thai restaurant in Seattle! The food is flavorful, beautifully presented and the portions are just the right size.Try the Sampler platter, it's a delicious surprise. The Tom Yum soup is packed with fresh vegetables, cooked just perfectly. Try the Buddha's basket and the Mountains of mushrooms. The brown rice is chewy and moist, the best I ever had! And all this amazing food is vegetarian! Kudos to the owners for opening such a great eatery!

— If it's August, it must be time for the Great Mars Hoax. You know, that e-mail message that says Mars is going to loom as big as the moon? It's actually a garbled version of the real science that surrounded our historic encounter with Mars in 2003. As it turns out, now is the worst time to look for Mars in the night sky. But just wait until December 2007...
Over the past couple of weeks, I've received several inquiries about claims that the Red Planet will be unusually, even uncomfortably close to Earth next weekend. From Myanmar, the country formerly known as Burma, Win Kyaw wrote:
"Mars can be seen with our naked eyes in this month of Aug? How big? ... Is there any danger of tidal waves in the oceans on Earth?"
Win was no doubt referring to e-mail chain letters like this one, preserved in the Urban Legends Reference Pages:
"The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit, astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens again.
"The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30 a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human being has seen in recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month. Share this with your children and grandchildren. NO ONE ALIVE TODAY WILL EVER SEE THIS AGAIN"
Or maybe Win saw this e-mail, captured by the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers:
"Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting next August 2006. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will culminate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65 M miles of Earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the Earth has 2 Moons. Don't Miss it.....The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287.
"NOTE : Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again. ONLY LIFETIME CHANCE THIS TIME"
There's even a PowerPoint presentation on the subject, preserved (with plenty of disclaimers) on the Alachua Astronomy Club's Web site.
Such e-mail chain letters have been popping up every August for the past couple of years. If we're talking about this year, absolutely none of this information is true. Mars is actually on the far side of the sun - and even if you were somehow able to make it out amid the sun's glare, it would be just a barely visible speck.
But if we're talking about 2003, some of the information in the first message is actually pretty accurate. What's been happening is that the basic specifications for the 2003 encounter - when Mars really did come within 34.6 million miles of Earth - have been repeated and, ahem, enlarged upon.
Notice how the first message says that the telescope image of Mars would seem as large as the full moon as seen with the naked eye. That was pretty much true for 2003. But in the second message, the facts are mixed up to make it sound as if Mars and the moon would be the same size this week.
If that were the case, there would indeed be bad news on the tidal wave front. As it is, however, Mars basically has no effect on the tides, even during its closest approaches.
And it'll be a while before Mars is in a good viewing position again. This December, the Red Planet will be emerging from the glare of the sun and should be visible in the morning sky. Its next close approach is due in December 2007, but even then, it will still be 55 million miles away. Thus, the view won't be as spectacular as it was in 2003 or even 2005. In fact, the year 2018 is the next time our view of Mars from Earth will be anything like it was in 2003 - and it'll take until 2287 for Mars to come closer than it did three summers ago.
This video from MSNBC's "The Most" provides additional background from the University of Colorado's Larry Esposito, and the Alachua Astronomy Club offers this fantastic visual aid.
If you were looking forward to a monstrous Mars, don't be totally disheartened: There's still plenty to see up above. Just before dawn on Tuesday, the moon will make a joint appearance with Mercury, Venus and Saturn on the eastern horizon. Check out this map from SpaceWeather.com for a guide. And this weekend, you can track the crescent moon's close encounter with Jupiter and the bright star Spica in the evening sky.

A Rockwell Recipe For Every Budget
If ever there were a perfect axle for the massive rigs found at Top Truck Challenge, it would probably be the Rockwell 2.5-ton. Few others can handle the high horsepower and torque loads required by the behemoth tire sizes found at TTC. Where even the toughest Dana 60 can snap like a twig, the massive Rockwell 2.5-ton runs strong. These assemblies are gigantic and not for everyone. But if 46- to 54-inch-tall tires are your goal, and competition is your game, the stout deuce-and-a-half axle may be the next swap you should consider.
One key factor that makes the Rockwell axle desirable for TTC truck builders is the top-loading third member design. Well beyond that of a high-pinion Dana axle, the Rockwell features an input shaft that is mounted a full seven and a half inches above the center line of the axle housing. above the axle housing, allowing for super-flat driveshaft angles. Thanks to very healthy support from the automotive aftermarket, a Rockwell axle can be as easy to build as a Dana 60, as long as you have a forklift to move it. Is it the ultimate axle solution? No, but depending on how you build one, a 2.5-ton Rockwell could be the last axle you'll ever need.
Ultimate strength comes at a price, and in the case of uber high-end Rockwell axle parts, the price is justifiability higher than that of an equally high-end Dana 60. The same can be said about the weight. For example, where a complete front Dana 60 axle might weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 pounds, a Rockwell frontend tips the scales at just over 1,000 pounds. In the battlefield of TTC, smart drivers with big tires, big power, and even bigger axles always seem to eclipse the competition. As such, we have assembled a buyer's guide that caters especially to those would-be Rockwell axle builders.
Build Strategy 1 - Unlimited Budget
A TTC Proof 2.5-ton
If a TTC-taming Rockwell axle is what you need, and you have an unlimited budget, the place to start is Ouverson Engineering and Machine. Ouverson has been building custom Rockwell upgrade parts for over five years now. Today, you would be hard-pressed to find a Rockwell axle at TTC without at least one part from Ouverson. Owner Randy Ouverson started his business out of necessity after breaking everything else on the market. His dedication and innovation throughout the years have transformed the readily available 2.5-ton Rockwell axle from a heavy military surplus part into a high-end, virtually unbreakable solution for seriously competitive enthusiasts. Today, even some of the working pros on the monster truck circuits run Ouverson parts. In the last year and a half, Ouverson's product portfolio has expanded threefold. With so much new product available, it is hard to keep up. We therefore decided to dedicate the first part of this story to Ouverson's latest and greatest Rockwell offerings.
Info: Ouverson Engineering and Machine, 320/983-3030, www.oemaxle.com
What is it: Ouverson's Billet Steering Knuckles
Why it is cool: A high-end housing like the one shown above begs for a pair of high-end billet steel steering knuckles. Ouverson offers these knuckles as an ultimate high-strength upgrade for those who want the best at any cost. With these knuckles, you can run stock Rockwell spindles and hubs, or you can upgrade to Ouverson's awesome Super 8 hub setup and convert over to the popular 8-on-6.5 or 8-on-170 mm lug patterns. These knuckles also allow use of Ouverson's 47-spline axleshafts.
What is it: Ouverson's Fabricated Rockwell Housing
Why it is cool: The heaviest part of the Rockwell axle is the housing itself. With this new fabricated plate housing, significant weight savings are attainable. It also allows for unlimited options in terms of fabricated link mounts and steering arrangements. The standard version comes in mild steel for front or rear applications and is fully welded and ready to assemble. Another version of this housing is available in lightweight chrome-moly for the ultimate in strength-to-weight ratio. Every axlehousing is built to suit, and they're available in custom widths for use with off-the-shelf knuckles and third members.

Sennheiser HD 650
Once considered (at least by us!) "The World's Best", the Sennheiser HD650 remains one of the absolute favorite audiophile headphones. This full-size open-back reference can delivers silky smooth, accurate sound with a laid-back, mellow tonal delivery. The HD650 is a gorgeous can for acoustic music of all kinds and for listeners seeking warm, richly rendered detai without brightness or glare.
Detachable headphone cord makes for easy upgrades to Cardas or CablePro standard and/or balanced XLR cables.
This model can only ship to USA addresses due to manufacturer restrictions.
Buy these before or on April 30th, 2014 and get a $50 mail-in rebate!
Product Features:
- Best in class performance from these cans. A classic!
- Connectors on each earpiece make cable upgrades a snap.
- Extremely comfortable with replaceable velour ear pads.
- Lightweight aluminum voice coils ensure excellent transient response.
- 2 Year Warranty
What's In The Box:
- 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor cable
- Storage Box
Sennheiser Electronics in Germany has always taken its time developing its audiophile reference headphone line. In fact, they're well-known for blissfully ignoring the apparent audio industry demand to come out with "brand-new" products every single season. We think their patience and persistence researching and developing high-end headphones has paid off handsomely over the years. With the critically lauded HD650, the music is beautifully smooth and relaxed when it's supposed to be, and liquid-quick and punchy on demand -- and so effortless that you just fall worry-free into its lovely sonic embrace. It's a top-flight audio experience hearing the Sennheiser HD650 properly amplified, its warm yet refined and seamless sound coupled with good wearing comfort has kept this model in the top echelon for years as one of the best headphones on the audiophile market.
Liveried in a slick deep grey and gloss black look, these cans are largely the same headphones as the HD600 model but with a few quite noteworthy improvements. First and foremost, Sennheiser audio engineers improved the baffling damper for tighter acoustic control, and boy did that work! The lab measurements of these headphones are phenomenally even and jagged-free, and the tonality is probably as close to 'down-the-middle smooth' as is available at this price. The renowned classic Sennheiser sonic warmth has been coupled to a clarity of acoustic detail in the HD650 that is hard to beat by most other audiophile master-level headphones. Design-wise, the earcup grilles on the outside of the earpieces have been made sturdier; those who suffered a dented housing on their old HD600's will likely be appreciative. A new velour headband pad design improves on the already good comfort of the HD600 headphones, and a slightly tighter tension on the earcup adjusters makes for a more secure fit. The HD650 cord has also been much-improved with a better OFC cable design terminated to a full-sized 1/4" stereo plug. A short cable-style adapter to a 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-plug jack is handily included in the HD650 package. Although it's a decent mini-adapter, we still highly recommend getting the superb Cardas Audio 1/4" to 1/8" adapter if plugging the HD650 into a source with small sensitive 3.5mm (1/8" inch) outputs. Overall, HeadRoom definitely more than recommends these fabulous Sennheiser HD650 headphones. Our HeadRoom motto: we say shell out big and cry once, but forever have world-class, blissful audio at your ears!
NOTE: Though the Sennheiser HD650 improved cord is certainly better than the original HD600 stock cable, we continue to suggest the Cardas Audio upgrade cable for ultimate detail resolution, musical texture, instrumental separation and soundstage depth. The significant audio benefits of the Cardas Audio cable upgrade will be especially evident with reference high-end audio sources. Please feel free to buy a Cardas Audio cord and compare versus the Sennheiser cord to determine for yourself the advantages. As always, our standard HeadRoom 30-day return/refund policy with zero 're-stocking' fees guarantees you'll love what you hear!

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Comfortable, Dynamic and Rich Sound, Spatial, non Fatiguing yet has clear and clean treble
Cons: Sub bass extension is better on Denon AH D2000
So first and foremost of all, in this headphone worlds, if you don't want to lose money is by figuring out what is your sound preferences which you enjoy the most. And then compare that perfect sonic preferences of yours to the sound characteristic of headphone that you will buy.
I found my sound preferences is completely fulfilled on HD 650 sound characteristic, they are in order :
(+) Comfortable (all headphone that you will buy should not have comfortable issues and should passed this criteria, it is not fun enjoying blissfully audio while in hellish pain enduring the uncomfortable of your headphone).
(+) Rich and depp authentic bass, full bodied bass, and vocals.
(+) No glares on treble but still has clean and clear treble and vocals. Non fatiguing sound.
(+) Spatial that is on perfect wide and depth.
The cons of HD 650, that I found which is minor for me is I found that the sub bass extension of D2000 is better than HD 650.
So I have found my perfect headphones, note that I've tried the HD 800 but I still prefer HD 650, and just wait for my next purchase which will be Sennheiser HDVD 800 :)
Gratias !

Reno never looked good for the home crowd of 3,861 at Aces Ballpark Monday night, losing its series opener 8-2 to the Salt Lake Bees.
It didn't take long for Reno to dig itself a hole. Mike Trout's leadoff home run to start the game initiated a three-run rally for the Bees.
Hank Conger doubled on a line to left field with one out. An infield fielding error allowed Jorge Cantu to reach base.
Ryan Langerhans drove in Conger with his own double to left field, putting runners on second and third. Cantu made it 3-0 when he came home on a groundout by Luis Jimenez.
Jimenez plated Cantu again in the top of the third. The two-out single to center field increased the visitors' lead to 4-0.
Salt Lake kept its streak of scoring in odd numbered innings intact when it added a run in the top of the fifth. Kole Calhoun led off the frame with a two-bagger to left field and came sprinting home when Conger followed and singled back up the middle for a 5-0 advantage.
Then the Bees decided to do some scoring in the even innings, posting a three spot in the sixth. Jimenez's leadoff triple got things rolling. An Efren Navarro single plated him for a 6-0 score.
A hit batsman and a walk loaded up the bases for Salt Lake, and two more runs came home on a sacrifice fly by Trout and later thanks to a bad throw on an attempted double play.
Reno finally got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh. Ryan Wheeler and Konrad Schmidt launched back-to-back solo shots to start the inning off reliever David Pauley, cutting the deficit to 8-2. But it was too little, too late.
Salt Lake starting pitcher Trevor Bell picked up the victory on the mound, throwing 5 2-3 scoreless innings. He allowed five hits, walked three and struck out four in a game where he struggled with his control at times, throwing 55 of 92 pitches for strikes.
A.J. Pollock and Randy Ruiz both had two hits for the Aces, accounting for half the team's hits.
The Bees, who rapped out 12 hits on the night, were led by Jimenez's three hits and two RBI. Trout drove in a pair of runs to go along with two hits, while Conger and Langerhans both added two hits apiece.
Reno right-hander Barry Enright (1-0, 3.18 ERA) will take on Salt Lake righty Garrett Richards (1-0, 2.57 ERA) today. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m.

I'm actually really proud of 90210. Though it's had really inconsistent viewership this season, it's demo manages to do well. I know a 0.6, isn't the best, but it manages to out do GG and get more than it each time. Why TV Fanatic says the episode only was viewed by 1.2 million I'm not sure though, seeing as it was a season high in live viewers with 1.7 million. What the move will do next year I don't know, but I am almost positive that it will most likely get a 6th (and shortened final season) next fall.

3M™ Gripping Material Batting Glove BGL large is a batting glove designed to enhance and improve traction and grip, allowing users the ability to grip lighter and hold tighter. Made from a soft, tanned, durable goatskin leather material. 3M™ Gripping Material Batting Glove BGL features breathable, ribbed spandex backed panels for comfort and a snug fit, along with synthetic leather reinforced finger tips and knuckle coverings for protection.
Please note: Sizes are determined by measuring the circumference of the hand with a tape measure in inches just below the knuckles with the hand closed. As a general rule, a small = 7-½ to 8 inches, medium 8-½ to 9 inches, large 9-½ to 10 inches and extra large 10-½ to 11 inches.
These are only guidelines because no two hands are shaped alike. The many variables in length, width and shape make this an imperfect science.

Are you using a hammer drill? Makes a huge difference. Powder activated nails are quick.
I am remodelling my basement and fixing metal stud framing around the exterior wall area. I am using screws.
This is all going fine except drilling into the concrete slab to fit the trough using anchors and tapcons is proving difficult.
I have tried using concrete drill bits and even ones for granite but on some areas a single hole will dull an entire bit.
Is there an easier way to do this that will save me cash on going through drill bits?
I do not want to use nails though (or is this why people use nails?).

No, I am using an ordinary drill. I thought hammer drills were really only effective on more porous materials like brick or mortar?
I must admit I don't use that many tapcons, but I have used a box or two, and with a hammer drill, into concrete, it's like drilling into hardwood...goes pretty fast. Just rotating will create lots of heat and ruin the bit quickly in concrete.

A small rotary/hammer drill costs around $100 or so. The use SDS bits which are quite reasonably priced and will drill holes in concrete like gangbusters. When I need to attach something to concrete, I drill the hole then insert a lead sleeve. Then a sheet metal screw through the object being attached and into the sleeve. I've tried Tapcons, but I had the same problems it sounds like you are having. They are hard to drive.
Tapcons work great, but you MUST drill the hole properly and use the proper bit. And of course, the longer the screw you are trying to use, the more difficult this method becomes.
As far as securing to concrete, my experience is:
A regular drill + standard masonry bit will work ok on brick, but terrible on concrete.
A hammer drill + standard masonry bit will work ok on cement, but drilling is slow and the bits wear out quickly.
A rotary hammer drill + SDS bit will drill holes in concrete very fast and the bits hold up well.
A powder actuated nail gun will secure nails fast and easily, however it takes experience to be able to use one effectively so that the material gets snugged down securely and the chance of blowout is minimal. I prefer this method over all others for framing, especially since the nails I shoot have washers on them to increase surface area of the nail head.
Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? -Jack Handy
Someone steered you backwards, Ian. Brick and mortar is porous, so you don't need a hammerdrill. It helps, but a rotary will get you by (as long as you don't let the bit overheat). In concrete, the hammer action is an absolute necessity. You must be so frustrated by now! Just the thought...
Get a hammerdrill. You won't regret it.
...Grab some lead sleeve anchors while you're at it. Much more user-friendly, and more effective, than tapcons.

Just so everyone's clear: I'm the POODLE in the picture ("french", get it?) The hot woman is my wife.
Thanks for all the great advice. I'll buy me a hammer drill then and some lead sleeves.
Just to add a note to the hammer drill purchase. These usually come with an small assortment of chisels and several bits. Additional bits are not at all expensive and wear very well. I wouldn't want to do a major demolition job with one of these, but I find mine to be very useful every now and again. I've drilled holes in concrete from 1/4" to 1/2" and broken out larger holes in concrete with the chisels.
Well I bought the rotary hammer drill (which I have learnt is not the same as just a hammer drill) and some SDS bits. The holes are a lot easier to drill now and the bits are lasting.
The lead sleeves are working well too!
It's just a shame I had to use the more traditional approach on the last two walls. Nevermind, there is lots more to do.
I think that you are doing more work than is necessary. First, try driving masonry nails into the concrete with a hammer. This will work depending on how hard the concrete is(sometimes it works great for me, other times the cement is so hard it doesn't work it's way in) If that doesn't work, then use the power guns with bullets. If the nail goes down halfway, just put another bullet and hold the gun over the half driven nail, after the second bullet it should go down all the way.
Drilling and putting anchors I think is the worst way to do it.
Don't follow my advice, I only know a thing or two about a thing or two.
But it is so easy to correct mistakes or pull down.
You should see the trouble I have had removing the nails from the last attempt at putting stud framing up (a previous owner, twenty or so years ago, studs here and there). I needed a crow bar to get some of those things out. And it damaged the concrete too.
Nothing beats the craftsmanship of screws and, for those us that have time, a rotary drill. I'm cheating enough using a rotary hammer!
Plus I am using metal framing....
If you have it in mind to reverse the work then screws are definitely the better choice. I thought these were going to be permanent walls.
The nails drom the power guns don't usually grab so good to the concrete. I usually don't have much trouble just tugging on them with the back of the hammer.
Here in New York, they build what they call pressure walls. They are temporary and the don't use any screws or fasteners. They just build them snug against the floor and ceiling. Then they could dismantle them without leaving any damage to the floors or ceilings.
Don't follow my advice, I only know a thing or two about a thing or two.
Glad to hear you bought a rotary hammer instead of a hammer drill because the latter is useless IMO. Screws and lags is a very slow appoach. I would suggest that if you want to drill, then assemble the stud to the floor with metal "hits" which is faster and you won't have to fuss with alignment issues.

Sycamore Shoals steps even further back in time with annual Celtic Festival
By Ashley Rader
Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park will be transported even further back in time this weekend – to an era when knights ruled the land – during the annual Celtic Festival.
The park will be come a Celtic gathering place Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
The Celtic Festival, sponsored by the Upper East Tennessee Celtic Society, will feature a variety of live music, weapons demonstrations, dancing, clans, vendors, competitions and workshops. The Lords of Chivalry jousters will be returning for the third year. New to the festival this year are Scottish heavy athletic demonstrations and competitions and traditional archery demonstrations and competitions.
Justine Kinch, events director with UETCS, said the new events were added to recognize traditional Celtic activities. The Scottish heavy athletics will include weight tosses, sheaf tosses and caber tosses. In the caber toss, competitors launch a wooden pole up to 22 feet long and weighing up to 180 pounds.
"The heavy athletics are a traditional way of celebrating chores," Kinch said. "It is a way to make the things that are done every day more fun. The clans have been doing this for hundreds of years."

Chill Restaurant on the Lake! – Tasty fried pickles & a juicy jalapeno jack cheese burger, need I say more! This is such a great place for happy hour... A cold beer on the lake is the way to end any day! Bring a big group of friends & give them a lil' taste of Austin at its best...
Great Food and a Fun Time to be had – You can always tell what makes a great restaurant when you look to see where the owner is.. In Johnny Fin's case, he is right in the thick of it. From serving food to being a social host, Johnny does it all and makes sure everyone is having a good time.
I like the cheesesteak, simple and always a tummy filler. The drinks are alway great and cold. The burgers are good as well. To finish, I recommend the warm brownie and ice cream, always a pleaser.
Having dinner on the patio in the cool fall nights and watching a band, well, it doesn't get any better. Its a fabulous place to experience the lake lifestyle.
Critical points: sometimes at lunch they are understaffed. The crew still works hard but they could use the help.
No-frills dining and live music draw a casual crowd to this colorful waterside restaurant. – In Short
This floating restaurant in Hurst Harbor Marina has undergone several transformations, seemingly sticking with Johnny Fins. The crowd includes families, couples, teenagers and folks on the lake. The indoor dining area has orange and navy-blue walls, rustic plank floors, garage doors that open to the outside and a colorful bar. Starters include baby back chicken wings and large salads. Seven-layer chicken, a house specialty, is enhanced by black beans, sour cream, bacon and queso.
This place is Austin lakeside, I loved it!! – Go on the weekends to see a band and hang out and party with your friends into the wee hours. The music was awesome and everyone was dancing!! Tons of women in bikinis and men buying drinks. It is the place to be on the lake in the evening. I love the burgers...the buns where buttered..it was cooked to perfection. I thought that my service was laid back and original. It is a hidden oasis in the commercialized desert. Since the place has turned to Johnny Fins I have seen nothing but great changes. Keep up the great work and local support! Oh, and fireworks on the 4th of July.
great fun – ive been to johnny fins a few times and i love it. i couldnt let the place be degraded by a few reviews when the place is what it is. the atmosphere isnt for the romantic night and probably not for the elderly. But, if youre into a good night with good music and an awesome bar this is the place. Being out on the lake gives it a feeling that almost strips away the stress of reality. The cheeseburgers are AWESOME and are complimented with perfectly seasoned fries.
Still Worth Checking Out – Maybe it isn't Vincent's but Johnny Fin's is still a good place to go. Expect to park and walk far unless you opt for valet parking. The prices seemed fine. Burgers were great. If you sit on the patio at night it's beautiful. The restaurant is a giant floating dock right on the lake and the band that we heard did good cover tunes. Not the hottest spot but not terrible either.

The Czech Winner Of the Pilsner Urquell Master Bartender Competition Is Ota Haurythun Of The "U Pinkasů" (At Pinkases) Restaurant (Translation)
22 June 2012
Plzeň, June 20, 2012 - Ota Haurythun from the restaurant "U Pinkasů" in Prague has become the best bartender of Pilsen lager. Along with the title, Pilsner Urquell Master Bartender of the Czech Republic, the winner receives free beer for a year, and the opportunity to brew his own batch of beer for this restaurant together with Pilsen brew-master Václav Berka. In October, the winner will have a chance to measure his abilities against the best bartenders from other countries in the 7th annual international finals of this competition. During the evening celebration, Karel Gott, Czech celebrity pop singer, received the tile Honorary Connoisseur of Pilsen Beer.
The famous Pilsener, Karel Gott, who often enjoys a small Pilsen beer before encores at his concerts, together with Senior Marketing Brew-master Václav Berka, congratulated the new champion in bartending, and accepted the tile Honorary Connoisseur. This title is awarded by Plzeňský Prazdroj Inc. to those faithful fans of Pilsner Urquell brand who are long-time advocates of its good name.
"To win in the year when Pilsner Urquell celebrates its 170th anniversary, and to accept congratulations from Honorary Connoisseur Mr. Gott, that is especially pleasing. Of course, now it is time for me to prepare for the tough, international competition, but to win in the country that gave birth to Pilsen lager is most important to me, and I am very happy for it. I made it to the national finals for the fourth time this year. Every year I have moved up a step, and this year I finally said to myself: now or never," said master bartender Ota Haurythun.
The eighteen best bartenders (17 men and 1 woman) qualified thanks to a strict selection by the expert jury. In the opening test, the contestants had to demonstrate sufficient theoretical knowledge and a quick wit while solving given problems. Then, the expert jury anonymously tested their abilities in practise right in their home restaurants. The new part of the competition was beer drafting for a thousand people during a Mandrage band concert in the courtyard of the Pilsen brewery on the eve of the finals.
Finalists came to the Pilsen brewery on June 19 to measure their skills and their knowledge in a few other categories. Aside from the perfect technique of several ways of drafting of Pilsner Urquell beer, the contestants had to prove themselves in a difficult test of their knowledge of the history and the production of the premium lager. "The jury also strictly judges the presentation of the beer, looking at the contestants' ability to convince the audience about the uniqueness of the qualities and the 170-year history of the beer they offer. All that should contribute to the enhancement of beer culture and the experience offered by this remarkable beverage," said Senior Marketing Brew-master Václav Berka.
Miloš Protiva of the Kadaň's "Švejk Restaurant" got the fantastic second prize, and third place went rightfully to Tomáš Hrnčíř of the "Lokál U bílé kuželky" (The Bistro by the White Skittle) in Prague. These talented bartenders will share their knowledge and experience at this year's Pilsner Fest too, where interested visitors will have a chance to learn something about the bartending art, and where Pilsner Urquell lager, thanks to its 170th jubilee celebration, will be paid the special attention.
The Pilsner Urquell Master Bartender competition is organised for motivated bartenders, men and women, who share our enthusiasm for the bartending craft and Pilsner Urquell lager. To succeed in the competition, contestants must have a perfect beer drafting technique, they must care flawlessly for their beer, they must have an excellent knowledge of the history and the production process of Pilsner Urquell lager, but most of all, they must have the personality to convince their customers of the unique qualities of Pilsen lager. The world finals take place symbolically in Pilsen on October 5, 2012, exactly on the day and place where the Pilsner Urquell lager was brewed for the first time 170 years ago. In addition to the title of World Bartending Champion, a grand prize of 10,000.00 Euro will serve as a motivation.

You can't even start to discuss the flavors of espresso when you are using dirty equipment. Every cup will have a distinct taint if the group head, the coffee handle and the porta-filters have rancid coffee residue. We sell Urnex Cafiza Espresso Machine Cleaner in a new tablet form or 20 oz. bottles of powder. It is a specially formulated powder detergent for the heavy residues that accumulate in the espresso machine group head, water lines and valves. While Cafiza is made to be used with automatic pump machines that can be back-flushed (i.e. they have a 3 way valve), it is an important cleaning solution for ANY espresso machine owner to have. It can be used simply to clean the coffee handle and filter basket and to soak any removable part of the machine that has accumulations. I use it to clean the tank on my Pavoni, which I then invert the machine to drain. Before cleaning, consult your machine's original instructions.
The 20 oz. bottle should last the home user 6 months to 1 year! Just put a tablet in your null portafilter and backflush. I use tablets for other cleaning too, but it is wise to dissolve them first when cleaning parts in order to create a full-strength solution. Do not use Cafiza on aluminum espresso parts, such as aluminum stovetop espresso Moka Pots. (You can use them on the Mokapots we sell; they are all stainless steel). Also note that Cleancaf is for use on espresso machines too ... Cleancaf is what you want to run through the tank of most home espresso machines...

Devils Lake East-end Outlet to be BuiltDL Mayor says it's a 'good day for the Lake Region'
The project, developed by the State Water Commission, calls for constructing an underground pipeline from East Devils Lake to the downstream side of Tolna Coulee.
The state of North Dakota has given the green light to a project that will help relieve further Devils Lake flooding.
Governor Jack Dalrymple says the state has selected the path for an east-end outlet on Devils Lake, with plans to have it moving up to 350 cubic feet per second of water by June of 2012.
Not only will water be able to be moved sooner, it will be less expensive and could possibly run longer as well.
"I'll be there for first dirtload, I'll tell you that," Devils Lake Mayor Dick Johnson said.
No one is sure when the first dirtload will be taken from the new route for the east-end outlet, but what they do know is that an underground pipeline will move water to the downstream side of the Tolna Coulee.
It will be about five miles long, which is the shortest possible route between East Devils Lake and the Tolna Coulee and is expected to be functional by June of 2012.
"We'd like to get water off sooner, but this is realistic and if we can get it passed in the legislature now to fund the project, this is great news," Johnson said.
The Senate has approved a bill that would put $120 million towards the project. The bill is now moving through the House.
"Hopefully that 120 million dollars stays intact, that's a huge sum of money. I don't think ever before in the state of North Dakota have we dedicated that much money to a particular project over a biennium," District 15 Representative Curt Hofstad said.
The estimated cost of the project is between $62 and $90 million, including operation and maintenance costs for about 20 years.
Mayor Johnson and others will be testifying for Senate bill 2020 to make sure that the funding is provided.
"Certainly now that we're this close, we're going to do a full court press to make sure that funding comes through for us because that's needed and it benefits the whole state," Johnson said.
Johnson says the fact that crews will be able to work through the winter months is very impressive and says it gives him hope.
"It's just a good day for the Lake Region and finally we can see some light at the end of this tunnel. It's going to happen," Johnson said.

Re-establishing a forty-year tradition, Farnsworth Park will again be the site of Altadena's community Easter Sunrise Service, Sunday, April 12, at 6:00 AM. The park's beautiful amphitheater, originally built in 1938, was undergoing remodeling last Easter, and the Sunrise Service was held at a local church. This year, the service will be "back home" in its inspiring outdoor environment. The amphitheater is at 568 E. Mount Curve Ave. (corner of Lake Ave.).
The Easter message of victory will be proclaimed through Scripture readings, inspiring music and shared testimonies. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Laurence H. Adams, Pastor of Mount Moriah Baptist Church in Pasadena. The praise musicians will provide the rousing music of the season, and the congregation will join for familiar Easter anthems.
This annual event has been planned and organized by the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of Greater Pasadena. The organization's current President is Rev. Nicholas M. Benson, and the Coordinator for this event is Rev. John B. Bledsoe. The Sunrise Service is also supported by the Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area Churches. Together, these two groups represent over seventy churches from many denominations.
The Sunrise Service will be free to the public and open to all. No one has to dress up.
