2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse • 150,000 miles
I noticed that some blue-ish smoke was coming out. I replaced pcv, this seemed to solve the problem but after a few days o noticed the smoke again. What could this unusual smoke be a cause of. Also I noticed that when the car is running if I take the oil cap, oil starts pouring in a fountain-like manner. This has me really preoccupied. Is this oil coming out the oil cap abnormal? Can the two problem be related. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Blue is oil smoke. Could be valve seals or rings worn out.
Sep 22, 2012.
Sep 22, 2012.
Oil would spill out of the oil filler cap if it is removed with engine running, the faster the engine rpm, the more would be thrown out.
You need to be monitoring your engine oil level as the blue smoke indicates it is getting to the exhaust, usually caused by worn valve seals (at least 70 % or more) and the other from the rings.

Rains force closing of Farm Tech show
As of 10 a.m. today, the Farm Technology Days Executive Committee shut down the show -- six hours ahead of schedule.
Heavy morning rains have filled the grounds with water, and visitors are no longer being allowed into parking areas.
FTD Executive Secretary Greg Andrews said organizers are working with exhibitors to help them close their displays.
Gates opened at 9 a.m. as usual, but the Sheriff's Department only allowed visitors to park along ditches.

"I still think the social function of art is that kind of negative aesthetic. Otherwise there's no social function for it."
".....all of the above" (2007)
"I probably have a problem with ideas. Most of the art world is idea-based: this means this; this means that. But I'm really trying to get to something very emotional and murky- more sensation and emotion than idea. Black-and-white is not an idea, but it's based on something . . . It's life-based- what you gather and try to document. You keep in touch with who you are."

Basement Finishing in St. Louis
I am weighing the following two options for my 1850 SF basement: basic finish with a single powder room (no other rooms) in St. Louis.
a) Handyman: does all framing, wiring ( with licensed electrician connecting to mains), drywall, taping and painting himself. Plumber for powder room plumbing. Dropped ceiling with drywall around ducts, will lose 1 of 5 windows due to ductwork. No permits. Finish quality: average. $37000
b) Reputable and reliable builder: all permits, subcontracts all work to trusted quality workforce, drywall ceiling. All windows stay intact (will move duct work), provides all finishing touches such as skirts for stairs, frames window with moisture resistant drywall return, access doors for critical wall infrastructure (rather than access panel). Finish quality: excellent and comparable with main living area except that it is not fancy in any way: $53000
Any opinions?
If you are going to spend 37,000.00 for the job you may as well spend the 53,000.00 and have the proper permits for the work. I don't know if you're in the city or the county. I know the county is strict with basement work and depending on the municipality you can be in real trouble when its time to sell without permits. Seems like you would be saving doing the work without the permits but in reality you will be losing money if you have to tear it out or run into other problems with the inspectors.
I'm all for saving money. But any contractor who promises a lower price as long as there are no permits is not someone I'd care to deal with. Improperly done wiring and plumbing can injure, even kill you.
Also, your quotes are not comparing like things. Shop the specs of the higher quote around. That price sounds high to me. St. Louis isn't San Francisco or White Plains.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
My client has suggested that I use 'Frutiger Infant' for a children's book (it has a single storey 'a'). Does anyone have any idea which foundry this would originate from? Or perhaps it has been customised for a particular publisher...
Frutiger Stones seem some unorthodox design...
I wouldn't know such a version of Frutiger. You can send me a personal mail if you like and i make you a suggestion.
All the samples that I can find lead me to Cambridge University Press. Looks like it was possibly a custom job for them.
Thanks for your replies. I think an editor involved in this project previously worked for Cambridge University Press - which would explain this request. My client doesn't want to go to expense of having a customised font created.
Options for sans serif book fonts with an infant 'a' seem rather limited. Futura would be my choice, were it not for the question mark which seems rather jarring... Sassoon Primary looks a bit too young for our purposes... Super Grotesk is a possibility...
More sans-serif typefaces with single-storey a alternates:
Gill Sans Infant
P22 Underground
Hypatia Sans
Proxima Nova
Galaxie Polaris
DIN Next
Not as an alternate, but as default:
URW Grotesk
Florian, thanks very much for taking the time to compile this list. I think URW Grotesk is likely to be our choice for this situation. Proxima Nova is also a possibility, but I wonder if the larger x-height makes it a little less legible for younger readers. I will definitely be bookmarking the other fonts for future reference.
Nice work on the list. I didn't realize so many of those had alternative a's.
I believe the larger x-height actually helps in readability and probably legibility as well for children.
I read a study a long time ago that tested that and I believe the higher the x-height, the better for children it was to read.
I think URW Grotesk may be problematic because bpdq are just mirrored and turned versions of the same form.
You're welcome.
When compiling this list, I didn't pay regard to your original request, sorry. That is, I won't recommend most of those typefaces for setting a children's book (including URW Grotesk, for the reason Jens mentioned).
In my opinion, the significance of a single-storey 'a' for children is, at least, debatable. Such a typeface might come in handy for teachers, when it is both used for reading and (as a model for) writing. Apart from that, the benefit of avoiding confusion of 'a' and 'a' is soon outweighed by the potential – and likely – confusion of 'a' and 'o'.
Children are not stupid, they can handle more than one representational form per character. Their world doesn't end at the edges of their primer. They do spot and effortlessly read a lot of different 'a' glyphs every day: caps, italics, serifs, sans-serifs, scripts, fat letters, condensed letters, single-storey and double-storey …
Sassoon Primary looks a bit too young for our purposes
Note that the Sassoon family is an elaborate system that consists of a number of members, each designed for a special purpose.
Club Type about Sassoon Sans: "A more mature font … Ideal for older pupils, perhaps at Seconday school, or adults, who no longer require 'exit strokes' to clump the letters together."
Interesting points about x height and mirrored characters, thank you. Looks like there's a lot of research that could be done here...
I thought these pages were useful:
http://www.kidstype.org/The%20project/Testing%20typography/Typefaces/typ... (a compilation of links and author's opinion)
especially: http://www.hgrebdes.com/typefaces/academicbase.html
I'm also creating a sample in Sassoon Sans.
Sorry, my comments on URLs are the wrong way round:
http://www.hgrebdes.com/typefaces/academicbase.html (a compilation of links to research)
especially: http://www.kidstype.org/The%20project/Testing%20typography/Typefaces/typ...
BTW I have seen an 'infant' version of Futura in the offices of a well-known children's publisher. At first glance I thought it was an oxymoron, but this thread convinces me otherwise; perhaps it has a larger x-height?
Unfortunately it's never suprising to see how many editors continue to insist on customised and proprietary typefaces that belong to their former employers and previous jobs... maybe they should take up positions in sales & marketing instead.
And I always thought that Futura *is* the infant version …
(sorry for resurrecting this –)

A ???25 ka Indian Ocean monsoon variability record from the Andaman Sea

AbstractRecent paleoclimatic work on terrestrial and marine deposits from Asia and the Indian Ocean has indicated abrupt changes in the strength of the Asian monsoon during the last deglaciation. Comparison of marine paleoclimate records that track salinity changes from Asian rivers can help evaluate the coherence of the Indian Ocean monsoon (IOM) with the larger Asian monsoon. Here we present paired Mg/Ca and ??18O data on the planktic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber (white) from Andaman Sea core RC12-344 that provide records of sea-surface temperature (SST) and ??18O of seawater (??18Osw) over the past 25,000 years (ka) before present (BP). Age control is based on nine accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates on mixed planktic foraminifera. Mg/Ca-SST data indicate that SST was ???3 ??C cooler during the last glacial maximum (LGM) than the late Holocene. Andaman Sea ??18Osw exhibited higher than present values during the Lateglacial interval ca 19-15 ka BP and briefly during the Younger Dryas ca 12 ka BP. Lower than present ??18Osw values during the B??lling/Aller??d ca 14.5-12.6 ka BP and during the early Holocene ca 10.8-5.5 ka BP are interpreted to indicate lower salinity, reflect some combination of decreased evaporation-precipitation (E-P) over the Andaman Sea and increased Irrawaddy River outflow. Our results are consistent with the suggestion that IOM intensity was stronger than present during the B??lling/Aller??d and early Holocene, and weaker during the late glaciation, Younger Dryas, and the late Holocene. These findings support the hypothesis that rapid climate change during the last deglaciation and Holocene included substantial hydrologic changes in the IOM system that were coherent with the larger Asian monsoon. ?? 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

$FUNDRAISING$ OPPORTUNITIES AND IDEAS A-Z For the TBΣ Chapters of the Western District Compiled by Marina Alburger TBΣ Western District Secretary-Treasurer 2004-2005 August 2004 This compilation was assembled in response to a separate charge given at the 2004 Western District Convention. It was assembled using and building upon ideas already stated in "A Kappa Kappa Psi Compilation of Ideas for Fundraising and Service Projects" compiled by KKΨ National President 1999 Michael R. Golemo and "Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma Western District Fundraising Cookbook" compiled by Diana Puig and Julie Morris. Most of what is listed here are fundraisers that chapters actually do, or have actually done in the past. Conditions for what works depend on location of school, size of chapters, size of bands, and school policies. Many of these may also work better by asking a neighboring chapter, or your brother chapter, to help and split the profits. Advertising these fundraisers is a big key to making them work. Also, do not accept IOU's because they create a lot more hassle and make it more difficult to make money on fundraisers that would otherwise be profitable. Special thank you to Omega, Alpha Chi, and Theta Eta, and Zeta Xi for responding to the request for fundraising ideas. Treasurers, please keep this in your box or with your materials to hand to your successor, as you will find most fundraising ideas, especially those that work, never go out of style. In The Bond, Marina "OLitHSA" Alburger TBΣ Western District Secretary- Treasurer 2004- 2005 Epsilon Kappa- UCLA 2 A APPLY FOR FUNDS FROM STUDENT GOVERNMENT- Check with your local student government for student group funding, which may involve registering your group at the beginning of the year. Differs from school to school. Good for any size group. ASSASSINS- Play a game of "Assassins" in which each participant contributes $3-$5 to play. Distribute names among participants. The name a participant receives is the person they must attempt to "kill". In order to "kill" someone, one must be alone with one's target. Game continues until all except one person is eliminated. Winner may get a small cut of the profits or some other special prize, to be determined by operating chapter(s). Can be played with the entire marching band/ music ensemble. Good for larger groups. ASSEMBLE A PEP BAND- Coordinate with the administration of a local high school to play as a pep band during their high school football games (will work best with schools that have no music programs). Ask for donations during performances, or for a modest commissioning fee. This is a good way to reach out to the community also. Good for larger groups. See also Gigs. B BAKE SALES- Find a place on campus that many students walk by on the way to class, and sell baked goods for reasonable prices like 50¢$1.00. Check with your school, they may have certain rules and regulations about where you can sell. Best to do this near midterms or finals week. Also can sell them after concerts. Good for any size group. See also Frybread. BAND BALL- Host a dance for your band. Find a cheap place on campus to rent. Provide snacks and decorations.

BAND CALENDARS- Create a calendar featuring you, your chapter, and/or your band to sell band parents/ alumni/ members and band supporters.

Make about $150 a game (less the cost of candy). Good for any size group. BAND LICENSE PLATE FRAMES- Produce and sell personalized license plates to band members. WARNING: See Band T-shirts. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise. BAND OLYMPICS- Put together a number of off-the-wall band competitions (such as, polishing sousaphones for speed and accuracy, French-horn assembly for speed, best drum major salute, fastest game day meal eater, etc). Charge individuals or teams for joining. Give silly awards. Good for any size group. See also Board Game Marathon Tournament. See also Midnight Madness. See also Monopoly-A-Thon BAND T-SHIRTS- Sell marching band, or other band related, t-shirts to members during band camp. WARNING: In order to make a profit, selling t-shirts or other goods usually requires a hefty mark-up as well as a pretty big chunk of change up front. It's a risky investment, and you may want to get pre-orders so you don't get stuck with extra stock. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise. BAND PARENT T-SHIRTS- Sell a "band parent" t-shirt to parents of the members in the band. WARNING: See Band T-Shirts. Consider pre-orders so you don't get stuck with extra stock.

BOOKMARKS- Create specialized bookmarks and sell them for $1 a piece. Simple designs, like TBΣ with a rose, sell best, especially at conventions. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise. BOXER SHORTS- Sell uniquely designed boxer shorts, or those butt shorts with the writing on the back of them to the band. WARNING: See Band T-shirts. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise. BROTHER/ SISTER COOKOUT- Host a cookout with your brothers and sisters and charge $5 to eat. Have fun and hang out while making money. See also Dinner. 5 C CAKE WALK- Have members bake cakes, or ask for donations from local bakeries, and raffle them off in a cakewalk. Draw a circular path on the ground, divided into 20 sections. Charge $1 to walk, per round. Play music and have contestants walk around the circle, making sure to have no more than 20 contestants a round. When the music stops, each contestant stops in one of the numbered sections (1 person per section). Numbers corresponding to the section are placed in a hat and pulled at random, and the person standing in the section labeled with the number called wins a cake. Repeat until you run out of cakes.

CANDIDATE FUNDRAISER- See Prospective Member Fundraiser.

Then charge 50¢- $1 a hit for students to beat the snot out of it. Provide some safety goggles also. Good for any size group. CAR WASH- Contact your local grocery store, gas station, or any other open space and arrange with them to do a car wash on a warm summer day. Either purchase or ask for car soap donations, bring rags from home, and you're all set. Charge $2 per car and $3 per truck (less than $5 a car). Be sure to advertise the car wash on street corners. Places like Wal Mart will match the amount made on their premises, so they're a good bet. Good for any size group. CARE PACKAGES- Advertise to band parents the availability of care packages for occasions such as Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Arbor Day, Birthdays, etc and create packages that suit the occasion.

Good for any size group. 6 CONCERT CONCESSIONS- See Concessions CONCESSIONS- Work concessions at college or pro-basketball games, concerts, festivals, or other events and donate your makings to your chapter. A lot of the larger venues have programs to support this already in place. If your school has a pep band, be careful about working college basketball games that you should also be playing at. Good for any size group. CREDIT CARD APPLICATIONS- Many credit card companies have programs that sponsor organizations to solicit people into filling out credit card applications. This is a lot of work, but supposedly worth the effort, and apparently makes the chapter $1-$3 an application. Check with your university about restrictions on this sort of thing. Good for any size group. D DANCE- Organize a dance for your band, and charge a modest door fee. Provide snacks and decorations. See also Band Ball. See also Big Band Bash. See also Eighties Dance.

See also Raffle. FRYBREAD- Set up a table by the music building and take shifts throughout the day to make the bread then sell it. We usually make around $75-100. Good for any size group. See also Bake sale. GARRAGE SALE- Once a year have a giant garage sale in which people clean out their apartments and houses and work the garage sale. Do this close to a main street so people can see you selling. Whatever you don't sell, donate to the Salvation Army or Good Will. Good for any size group. GIFT WRAP- A lot of stores such as Barnes and Noble, Macy's, Nordstorms etc, will pay you to do gift-wrapping, especially during the Holidays season. Contact your local store for more information, and ask for donations as you wrap the gifts. Good for any size group. GIGS- If you have some really good musicians in your group, create a combo band and sell your services to play at weddings and parties, etc. Better for larger groups. GUESS THE NUMBER CONTEST- Fill a jar with jellybeans or other candy, and then charge 50¢ a guess. Person closest to the actual number wins the jar of candy. Good for any size group. H HATS- Create hats with the TBΣ and KKΨ crest on them and sell them for $10. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise. HOLIDAY GIFT WRAP- See Gift Wrap. 8 HOLIDAY GRAMS- During different occasions such as Christmas and Valentine's Day, sell little grams with candy and deliver them on the specified day to people living within a certain radius of campus. This can be a lot of work and doesn't make a whole lot of money. This will be better for larger groups who have more man power. See also Valentines…. See also Candy Sales. HOT DOGS- Sell Hot Dogs or other snacks in the dorm area after the dining halls and eateries close for the night. Good for any size group. I J K L I GIVE- www.Igive.com is a website that you can do online shopping through and 25% of the amount purchased is donated to a cause. Set this up so that your chapter is donated to, and shop away. Good for any size group. No J entries at this time. KKΨ MERCHANDISE- Create KKΨ Merchandise and sell it at conventions, state days, or on your website. Good for any size group. See also TBΣ Merchandise. See also Merchandise. LEAF RAKE FOR DONATIONS- Go door to door and ask to rake leaves during the fall for a small donation to your organization. This apparently is very profitable for some chapters who have made $750-$1000 each year they've done this. Good for any size group. 9 LETTERS FROM SANTA CAMPAIGN- Ask children to send in letters to you to pass on to Santa. If they would like a reply and a small gift, ask them to enclose $5 (because postage to the North Pole is expensive). Each participant receives a personal letter from Santa, a badge and a small gift. A Christmas themed stationary adds a nice touch. This can be very quick if you draft a form letter and only personalize one or two paragraphs. Good for any size group. LOLLYPOPS- See Sucker Sales. M MERCHANDISE- Create merchandise and sell it at a modest markup. Good for any size group. See also Band Calendars. See also Band Caps. See also Band License Plate Frames. See Band T-shirts. See Band Parent T-shirts. See Band Letterman Jacket. See Band Sweatshirts. See also Band Videos. See also Bookmarks. See also Boxer Shorts. See also Design Competition. See also Hats. See also KKΨ Merchandise. See also Playing Cards. See also Rival School Mockery T-shirts. See also School Mugs. See also Souvenir Glass. See also TBΣ Merchandise. See also TBΣ Necklaces. See also TBΣ Keychains. MIDNIGHT MADNESS- Each person pays a fee to enter a citywide scavenger hunt. Create a scavenger hunt and divide all players into teams of 4-5 (enough to fit in a car) and send them on their way. This can also be adapted to a campuswide scavenger hunt. The first team to return with all the artifacts wins. Serve pizza, candy, and soda after the event. Better for larger groups, but can be fun for any size group. See also Band Olympics. See also Board Game Marathon. See also Monopoly-a-thon. MONOPOLY A-THON- Build a giant monopoly board using colored paper, bed sheets, or whatever and masking tape. Gather per-hour pledges from band members in an all-night monopoly-a-thon. Have five teams of 4 people each dress as representatives of their token (ie Wizard or Oz, Alice in Wonderland, whatever they want). Play music to keep people alive and awake. May be a lot of work, but potential for lots of fun. Good for any size group. See also Band Olympics. See also Board Game Marathon. See also Midnight Madness. MUSIC-A-THON- Gather pledges for an all-night music listening marathon. Listen to music from a specific composer for twelve hours. During these twelve hours play games, talk, and build closer bonds. Invite your candidates to join you. Good for any size group. 10 N O P NEWSLETTER- Create and sell a newsletter on game day to members of the band. Charge less than a dollar. Probably not very profitable, and may not work if you already have a newsletter and have previously been giving it for free. Good for any size group. No O Entries at this time. PANCAKE BREAK FASTS- Host a Pancake breakfast one morning before a game or before band rehearsal and charge $3 a plate for breakfast. Good for any size group. See also Dinner. PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA – One chapter was able to create their own special. In exchange for coming in and constructing pizza boxes and taping fliers on the box that advertised the special, the chapter got $1 for every pizza that was ordered. You can also put these fliers in the music building and other places on campus. Good for any size group. PATIO DAYS- Invite vendors to come and sell merchandise for you chapter. Have them give you a percentage of the profits. Good for any size group. PARKING LOT SPOTS- During football season, track down a business or place nearby that will let you use their parking lot to sell spots. This is an easy moneymaker, but can be difficult to find people to sell the spots if a lot of your chapter is in marching band. Good for any size group. PENNIES FOR PIZZA- See Penny Wars. PENNY DRIVE- Set up a large jar in your music building to collect pennies, or just ask people to donate pennies. People love to get rid of pennies. Good for any size group. See also Penny Wars. 11 PENNY WARS- Each section gets a jar. Set them out during rehearsals on a table and explain the rules. Dollars and silver coins in a jar count against the section, pennies count for the section. Have them out each day during band camp (preferably when people are around to watch the jars) or during each rehearsal. At the end of band camp, tally the totals, and treat the winning section to ice cream or smoothies or pizza or some other fabulous prize. See also Penny Drive. PIE IN THE FACE- Get drum majors, section leaders, TA's, TBΣ/ KKΨ Presidents and any other prominent figure in band (maybe band director) to agree to auction themselves off to be pied in the face (it'd be helpful if they were TBΣ/ KKΨ people already, but if not... you may want to consider giving them a kickback for helping the chapters out). Hold the auction during one of the days of band camp, and make sure you advertise for it. Start the biding at $1-$5. MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR MONEY BEFORE YOU LET THE PERSON PIE THEM. Good for any size group. PIE TOSS WITH A TWIST- Works like Pie in the Face, but the person being bid on can pay an additional $5-$10 to just eat the pie, or an additional $10-$20 to throw the pie at the person who bid on them. MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR MONEY BEFORE YOU LET THE PERSON PIE THEM. Good for any size group. See also Pie in the Face. PLAY-A-THON- See Music-A-Thon. PLAYING CARDS- Create playing cards with TBΣ, KKΨ, or other cool band things on them and sell them for $5 a deck. See also Merchandise. PLAYING FOR DONATIONS- Ask a local grocery store, coffee shop, ice cream store if you may play in front of their store for a few hours. Take donations while attracting customers. Good for groups with good instrumentation. PROSPECTIVE MEMBER FUNDRAISERS- Ask your prospective members to put on a fundraiser. What they do should be left up to their discretion.

Good for any size group. See also Dinner. RIVAL SCHOOL MOCKERY T-SHIRTS- Create a t-shirt making fun of your rival school, for example UCLA chapters make a T-shirt saying "Trojans SUC" for USC, their rival. Sell these t-shirts to band members, and wear them during rival game week. WARNING: See Band T-shirts. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise. RUMMAGE SALE- See Garage Sale. S SCHOOL MUGS- Make mugs with school or band logos and sell them. WARNING: See Band T-shirts. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise. SCRATCH AND GIVE- You get cards, and you have thirty days before you have to pay for them. You ask people to scratch the card, and they donate the amount on the card (which will be no more than $3 usually). Good for any size group. SIX FLAGS WORKDAY- See Theme Park Workday. SERVANT SALE- See Service Auction. 13 SERVICE AUCTION- Auction yourselves off to members of the band to perform various services to the bidders such as cleaning their room, apartment, bathroom, cooking dinner, or other random tasks.

TBΣ KEY CHAINS- Create TBΣ Key Chains and sell them at conventions, state days, and on your website. Good for any size group. See also Merchandise.

TRIP OF THE MONTH DRAW- Sell about 600 $120 tickets and each month draw for a trip worth $2,000 or a $1500 cash prize. Draw a few more tickets and hand out some other prizes. Apparently this was very lucrative for the chapter who tried it, and they made $35,000 in two months, but this sounds very complicated. Good for any size group. 14 TV TAPINGS- A lot of sitcoms in LA pay per head to provide a studio audience. So, plan a weekend trip out to LA and visit the UCLA and UCI chapters! Contact Gail Baluyut at Audiences Unlimited by calling 818.753.3470 x235. You can make it a two-fer and attend a Friday night and Saturday morning taping. Generally you get paid $12-$15 per head.

Sell these on campus to students during the week before Valentine's Day and offer to deliver them to people who live within a two-mile radius of campus or to a person's classroom. Sell each the Crushes and the Flowers for $3, or both for $5. I did this with another organization I'm a part of and they generally sold between100 and 200 of these. It was the biggest fundraiser of the year. Good for any size group. W WALMART- Most WalMarts will match the total amount earned during a fundraiser on their premises. Most chapters will do car washes and if they earn $100 at a car wash, WalMart will match that so the total profit is $200. You can also play outside the WalMart and take donations. Good for any size group. 15 WHITE MARCHING BAND GLOVES- Sell white marching band gloves to members who lose their gloves during the season. Keep your overstock for the next year. Consider donating some proceeds to your band department. Good for any size group. WINDOW WASHING- Get a squeegee and some Windex and go door to door and offer to wash windows for a small donation.

"I've not seen the ad. I've just heard it now," he said. "I've not seen the ad. They're apparently not running it in Virginia." "The point is Mitt Romney has a demonstrated ability of building jobs."

I think it is ridiculous to have only one extra hotdog stand with all the people that were there. Also to charge £5 for a hotdog is grossly overpriced and extremely unfair on families. Not everyone is on a huge salary - many families struggle, especially at Christmas time so why not provide something at a reasonable budget. £3 maximum would have been much more affordable.

A leader who is truly humble, and is perceived as being so by others, ultimately will have far more authority than an arrogant leader.
The moral dimension of the financial crisis has led to renewed interest in the ethics of executives, governments and regulatory bodies.
Of all the virtues expected of an executive or government official, humility is especially important, yet it largely has been overlooked in the realm of economics.
This is probably due to an incomplete or misguided notion of what it means to be humble, why it's important, and how being modest contributes to the success and reputation of an organisation as well as of its leader.
In his working paper "Reputacion y Humildad en la Direccion de Empresas (Reputation and Humility in Running a Business)," Professor Antonio Argandona of the Instituto de Estudios Superiores de la Empresa at the University of Navarra in Spain aims to set the record straight, offering ideas for reflection on this essential virtue.
People often think that humility is incompatible with showing the authority necessary in being a leader, Argandona writes. That couldn't be farther from the truth.
A leader who is truly humble, and is perceived as being so by others, ultimately will have far more authority than an arrogant leader.
Self-knowledge is the first and foremost expression of humility. People who are humble neither overestimate their virtues nor disparage themselves.
Having high self-esteem does not make them pretentious.
They constantly evaluate themselves, and realise that they are not infallible. This self-awareness includes recognizing what they owe to others.
Humble individuals do not take credit for all of their strengths and achievements. Instead they value and appreciate the help they receive from others.
Another quality associated with humility, Argandona writes, is a sense of transcendence, the tendency to act according to an ambitious ideal.
That is why being humble also entails being demanding of oneself.
Humility often goes hand in hand with other virtues, such as objectivity, simplicity, the desire to learn and patience with others.
Humble leaders don't boast about their strengths, but they don't deny or conceal them either. Nor will they hide their shortcomings, deficiencies and mistakes.
They neither seek praise from others nor feel hurt by criticism. They are grateful to discover how others perceive them, since it can raise their self-awareness.
When it comes to evaluating others, humble individuals are aware that everyone else is probably better than they are in some way, so they tend to judge others less severely than they would judge themselves.
Humble leaders also tend to avoid comparing their qualities, merits, knowledge and achievements with those of others.
If forced to do so, they try not to rate themselves as superior. They pass judgment if necessary, but look for the silver lining whenever possible.
This openness gives way to additional virtues associated with humility, Argandona writes, such as generosity, respect and a spirit of service. In particular humble leaders acknowledge the merits of their peers.
They request, accept and acknowledge their ideas, suggestions and tips. They never are envious of the successes and qualities of others.
Why should a humble leader be put at the helm of an organisation?
For one thing, Argandona writes, they tend to make fewer mistakes. Their natural inclination for introspection and their willingness to accept outside criticism generally give them a good idea of what their limitations and capabilities are.
Their interpersonal relationships tend to be more genuine and simple, since they do not crave flattery.
They tend to be sincere both in their criticism and in their praise, highlighting the positive aspects of the other person's behaviour without skipping over the negative ones, which can help them improve.
They tend to seek collaboration, to offset their shortcomings and to capitalise on the standout qualities of fellow team members, and will likely pay more attention to the common good of the organisation than to their own self-interests.
Acknowledging their limitations drives them toward the active pursuit of excellence.

Trying to choose betw: Kraftmaid/Thomasville/Am Woodmark
I am looking at white cabinets with raised center panel, plywood construction from the Home Depot in NY City for an ~8 x 11 ft kitchen.
These are the choices:
Kraftmaid Piermont Maple, color dove white: $16,000
Kraftmaid Bradenton Maple (veneer center raised panel) color dove white: $14,840
Thomasville Plaza, color cotton: $14220
Thomasville Manteo (raised panel is veneer) cotton: $13,880
American Woodmark Charlottsville, color linen white: $11,250.
I am likely using a white/light granite. The kitchen is currently dark and drab in appearance. I know there have been lots of discussions between Kraftmaid/thomasville/Am Woodmark but using the search function, I find conversations from 2009. If anyone has any recent experience, that would be really appreciated. The HD KD was telling me that with white painted cabinets, having the center raised panel in veneer may actually shrink/crack less. The cabinet doors look very similar to me.
This post was edited by truffula on Sat, Nov 22, 14 at 15:07
Truffula, What is the height of the cabinets you are choosing and does this include crown molding?
I looked at the Thomasville Plaza and another Thomasville door that had the recessed panel in the cotton color in 2011 and I was considering the American Woodmark Charlottsville in the Linen White as well back then. I was also in love with the Shiloh Inset square panel (recessed and not raised panel) cabinets in the Polar White. I remember the Charlottsville being the least expensive. Shiloh was the most expensive but I loved the inset look.
I was also told that the veneer would crack and shrink less. Maybe others would know the answer but I would like to know what height cabinets? Do all the companies include the hardware also like they did in 2011? Do these prices include the sales tax? Are you having Super Susan's and pull-out shelves or many drawers?
I was being pushed towards the American Woodmark then by the Kitchen Designer but I preferred the Thomasville less shiny finish.
I then put the decision off until recently as I had one crisis after another.
Truffula, I also liked the Thomasville look better. My cabinets were going to be 36" with a lot of crown molding. I have 8 feet ceiings and I am in Northern NJ so everything is so costly where I live also but not as costly as NYC. I was not given a price for Thomasville despite wanting a price as I was being pushed towards Woodmark as they were having a lot of specials at the time. I like the cotton color and the finish on the Thamsville. But the Woodmark was nice and the Linen White is a nice white. I was told Kraftmade was the better quality of the three.
I hope others reply.
Thanks. NJ and NY prices are pretty similar I bet. I had to sort of insist on getting the thomasville quote, not sure why. They kept saying kraftmaid is best quality and american woodmark is better quality and cheaper than thomasville. The american woodmark is definitely cheaper - I just haven't heard of it as much so I'm a little wary.
American Woodmark is a twin of Shenandoah at Lowes. I have Shenandoah and love it. I picked Shenandoah instead of American Woodmark because the door styles are slightly different and I liked the Shenandoah better.
You won't have to pay the tax if you have the cabinets installed. We paid the NY tax as we stalled ourselves.
The order of quality bottom up is Am Wood, KM, Thomasville. But, Thomasville is also Diamond at Lowes and Kemper at dealers. And, the last kitchen that I did a direct quote for a builder's own kitchen, when compared to HD's quote, I saved him 9K in Kemper. Almost any dealer with a good semi custom line can beat a box store quote. Box stores actually have higher margins because they have more issues requiring that they eat more mistakes.
I had a local cabinet maker build mine. My kitchen isn't huge, but I did a wall of pantry cabinets, drawers wherever possible, enclosed fridge, 42" uppers with extra shelves, exactly the sizes I wanted to maximize efficiency (down to the 1/16"), and the quote included soft-close hinges, Blum soft-close drawer glides, crown molding, and installation. The installers were incredible. There were a couple of mistakes along the way, and they were fixed quickly and cheerfully. For example, the installer didn't like the way one of the drawer fronts looked (I didn't see it, so I don't know what the problem was), so he called the shop and had them build a new one. It was installed the next day.
I'm in the Midwest, and I paid less than $20K. My u-shaped kitchen is 10' x 11', plus a 5' wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinets.
I designed my own kitchen, so I don't know how it would have worked out if I had wanted design help. But you can get plenty of design help here!
I just wanted to say that big box stores are not always more expensive. Sometimes they offer great deals that cannot be found elsewhere.
I got at least 10 quotes from different cabinet dealers/designers until I finally went into HD and got a quote for American Woodmark. We got all plywood and it was still several thousand dollars less than the others that were not even all plywood. The reason we got such a great price is because American Woodmark was offering a free upgrade to all plywood, free premium finish, a free trash pullout cabinet and a free drawer insert. In addition, HD was offering a 10% discount and another dollar amount discount. Also, the HD KD was one of the nicest people to work with and she made sure we got every discount we could.
So it's just something to think about.
My experience was the same as novamom; I found the big box stores to always be less expensive.
Suggest get quotes from the big box stores, then take them to a KD and see if the KD can beat it. KD's carry Diamond (AKA Thomasville), Waypoint (AKA American Woodmark), and Kraftmaid - so you can compare apples to apples.
GW is filled with incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful KD's who basically volunteer their time to help us. One in particular is so great, I did some detective work to figure out who she really was and just how far away she was - I was ready to travel to use her to get Shiloh cabinets.
I have learned buying kitchen cabinets makes car buying seem so very easy.
Keep us updated. Good luck!
I just put in Waypoint (dealer version of Am Woodmark) they have slightly different door front options than Am W. I did not price shop. I like the cabinets, but honestly I did not really look at many cabinetoptions. I needed to make a deision and get them ordered quickly, so I just went with what my GC used and got a layout done ASAP. Anything would have been an improvement over what I had before. I know this doesnt sound like a ringing endorsement, but I wouldnt be afraid of Waypoint...Am W should be the same I would think.

Born in Alaska, Built for the World
Alpacka packrafts are rugged, hand-built wilderness boats. Whether used for fishing a remote alpine lake, descending whitewater, or just exploring a little wetland on the side of the road, they make wilderness boating accessible. We build them to be fun, and to last.
Click here for a comparison chart of weights and measurements for all our boats.
Our smallest all-purpose boat, the Alpaca is perfect for small whitewater paddlers, adventure racers, and long-distance trekkers.
The Yukon Yak is our versatile mid-sized boat, and a good fit for most paddlers.
The Denali Llama is our largest all-purpose / whitewater-style raft, great for taller paddlers, large cargo, or two people in the right situations.
Lightest and simplest of all Alpackas, the Scout is a river-floating / lake boat for calm and C-II water. Weight: 3 lbs. 3 oz.
The big boy's Scout - intended for use on easy flowing rivers and calm lakes.
The Fjord Explorer is our rowboat, heavy-cargo freighter, "moose boat," and much more.
An Explorer hull without the extras: no oarframe, oars, skeg, or seat.
The Explorer 42 is an upgraded version of the Double Duck, still intended for two paddlers but with a bow like the Explorer it is capable of up to Class II rapids.
Our 2-person calm water boat is designed to be paddled by two people with gear, either canoe-style or with two kayak paddles.
This is a two-person boat geared toward adventure racing and fishing.
Designed with retracting floor to give easy access to the backcountry for the avid fisherman.

Take the example of a differential equation:
Since the differential equation in question has not been posted, I will work with an example.
The solution yh to the homogeneous equation
y"-2y'+2y=0 .... (2)
Note the two integration constants.
To obtain the general solution to equation (1), we must add to yh, solution of (2) a particular solution that satisfies (1). This is called a particular solution, yp.
For this particular problem,
which can be obtained by the method of variation of parameters.
Therefore the general solution of (1) is the sum of yh and yp, i.e.
y = C1*ex + C2*x*ex + x²ex ...(general solution)
However, y still contains the constants C1 and C2 to be determined. They can be found by the initial conditions, such as y(0)=0 and y'(0)=1.
Substitute (0,0) into the general solution, we obtain an equation in terms of C1 and C2.
Differentiate the general solution once and substitute x=0, y'(0)=1, we get another equation. From these equations, we can solve for C1 and C2 which is the solution to the problem.
The above general solution is explicit because y, and only y, appears only on the left hand side.
A solution of the form
is called an implicit solution because y appears more than once in an equation.
