Whirring Noise At High Speeds
Posted 04 January 2013 - 01:22 PM
I have a whirring noise at high speeds, doesn't rumble or crack or make any horrible noises, but I do hear a bit of a whir noise (sounds like a fan spinning noise and increasing / decreasing in spins per minute).
Is this normal for an automatic?
I have a 2005 Focus CMAX Zetec 1.6 CVT TDCI, 44k on the clock. as I bought it yesterday I still have warranty on it and so will use it as possible!

Alternator bearing?
Any idea roughly where is it coming from?

sounds more like it is coming from the centre to rear, and it tends to build up as you get to 45 - 50+ but its not a cracking / grinding noise, just sounds like a slow moving fan getting quicker and slower. If I find the right time I will try and record it on the phone, maybe post it up but its not too loud.
The only other noise is that at low speed turning the car specifically left gives a slight grinding noise, but will keep an eye on that...

OK so heard the noise again, being midnight and nice and quiet on the roads, I think I narrowed it down to front end, after careful listening, it sounds more like you or I trying to make a "wind" sound effect with pursed lips and open mouth (not breaking wind, thats something completely different ) as you get faster the wind noise gets louder, and slower, the opposite. Kicks in around 40mph and I could do with going to manual mode and see if its gear related, its not the turbo I dont think as I heard her whistle this morning...
does turning and changing the load on the suspension have any affect?

Hello jeebowhite,
Did you ever find the cause of your noise? My focus sounds like it's doing the same thing. I get an odd noise over 30MPH and it's more pronounced when the steering is turned towards the left left. I'm thinking its coming from the drive shaft, if I coast in neutral and steer left the noise is not so bad. Doubt it's the gearbox, there is no vibration on the steering or gear level. Road noise tends to cancel most noise out over 60MPH.
Thanks, Adam.

Have to say, I completely forgot about the problem. Soon after I got the car, I did take it back and it had the front bushings changed, and to be honest, that might well have been the resolution.
The other problem is that I did have a tiny tiny break in the mass air flow hose, found it after I replaced it so I suspect this would have been a contributing factor. Unfortunately the oil on the hose actually hid the break...

Had mine sorted yesterday, front right wheel bearing was on its way out.
Posted 17 September 2013 - 12:03 AM
I think there is an alternative issue that may be playing part in the noise... The infamous split pipe in the design of the intercooler intake pipe...
I need to replace it at the next weekend with good weather and will let you know the outcome.

Hey guys, being a bit of a novice at PHP I'm struggling with this function.
I want to choose a random word inside the {} to make a different sentence each time I reload my page. The "|" separates each word
I don't think its a lot of code but could someone help me or point me in the right direction? I was hoping someone had made similar but cant seem to find any php code on the net.
Code:<?php $text = "The {quick|slow|reasonably paced} {brown|green|blue|pink} {fox|goat|rat|camel} {jumped|walked|hopped} {over|past|under} the {lazy|tired|boring} {dog|cat|stoat}"; echo Spin($text); } ?>

CD/LP/Track Review
Peter Martin: Something Unexpected (2002)
Of course, Peter Martin takes pride in being a sideman, and has certainly paid some dues here. He gained some major fine points about this role by serving under Betty Carter- who always demanded the absolute most from her sidemen, and in extensive tutelage by Wynton Marsalis, who took Mr. Martin as one of his "pupils" early on. Of course Martin is probably most well known for his work with the Josh Redman quartet; there the jazz world got its first glimpse of him, and probably saw the potential of a leader in his own right. Sure enough, people who saw this quartet live or heard the records discerned a sharp player who did not feel the need to dazzle with chops or splashy bluesiness- just play the changes, and play them well.
All of which brings us to the present day and Peter Martin's coming out party as a leader. He descends upon the scene in style with this very nice MAXJAZZ release: Something Unexpected, that features one of his former leaders- Nicholas Payton, in the sideman role along with several other bright musicians: Brice Winston on Tenor, Reginald Veal on bass, and Adonis Rose on drums.
It is fitting that the record is also a sort of homecoming for Martin, recorded in the St. Louis city he grew up in. It is a live record actually, cut at the elegant Jazz at the Bistro, downtown. The record was done as part of a weekend stint at the Bistro in November of 2000.
This recording is definitely "something unexpected" insofar as it is one of the few recent straight-ahead live dates to hit the shelves. It is a nice one at that; this is mostly hard-boppish and modal material, however played with a sense of calm assurance and intelligence that often eludes some of the younger hard-bop cats. Perhaps because Martin and his comrades, including Nick Payton, are now into their thirties we can now start reaping benefits of their maturity. Perhaps then too, players from the "Young Lion" generation haven't had justice done to them with the kind of overproduced studio records full of guest stars all-too-commonplace, and a live outing by a working band in an intimate venue, is where one might actually see the substance behind the hype.
Nicholas Payton for one has seldom sounded better. On "The Queen" he delivers a lovely, rather sentimental kind of solo on fluegelhorn. He also sounds quite sharp on some of the "up" numbers, like Martin's "La Pregunta" and the bebop head "Attestation." But onto the leader and his work, who is certainly, rightly the focus here... Peter Martin's piano playing is quite fine- there's nothing outwardly very distinctive about it but he plays with a relaxed touch and a verve for the music that is not to be taken for granted. He shines on ballads, especially his solo treatment of "Triste" and his duo rendering of "Corcovado" with Brice Winston.
His real "work" lies in his fine writing though. "La Pregunta" for one is an excellent piece, a song with a Latin undercurrent and which is composed over a beautiful rolling arpeggio. It has an incredibly hip bridge that sounds reminiscent of one of Woody Shaw's more solemn, introspective tunes in quality. That's a serious tune, and one well suited for some modal travelling; Brice Winston takes a killer solo here that also indicts him as a certifiable Trane devotee. I should mention Peter's solo on this cut too; it's probably his most crucial solo on the rec- good tunes make for good solos, don't ever doubt that.
Martin's composing prowess also shows up on the bluesy title cut and on two ballads: "The Queen" and "Lovely One"- Peter definitely has a knack for writing ballads. These are moving, wistful melodies that one does not soon forget.
"Lovely One" is a tune incidentally in which Brice Winston sounds fabulous. At first, like Joe Henderson, but then settling clearly into his own voice; he is one to watch for.
There are covers to round out the album- "Dr. Jackle" (McLean), "Lotus Blossom" (Dorham) and "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder: good reworking of a pop tune.
All in all, "Something Unexpected" is indeed a pleasant surprise and is welcome in second entry of Bruce Barth's MaxJazz Piano series. There are over 70 minutes of high quality straight-ahead jazz here. And moreover though, Peter Martin acquits himself of any charges that he is "nothing but" a very good sideman; we see quite well here he is also a fine leader.
Track Listing: 1) Unusual Suspects 2) La Pregunta 3) The Queen 4) Attestation 5) Triste 6) Corcovado 7) Dr. Jackle 8) Lovely One 9) Lotus Blossom 10) I Wish TOTAL LENGTH: 71:50

Social-media malware hurting small businesses

Further, a quarter of the businesses said they lost sensitive data due to employees who violated company policy by revealing certain information via a social network.

I'm a fan of things that are instant. I like my Netflix streaming, where many of my favorite TV shows and movies are ready for me to watch at the press of a button. I like digital photography and how I can see my pictures right away on my computer. I like online shopping - with the click of the mouse, a new book or pair of shoes or even groceries can be on their way to my doorstep and I never have to even leave the house.
But when it comes to gardening, there's not a lot of instant gratification. You plant a seed in March with the hope of having fresh tomatoes in July or August. There is also a period of waiting once you've put your garden in. I've been watering my garden daily, and I fertilized this weekend, but there's not too much going on yet.
I can see noticeable growth in my sweet pepper plants and my tomatoes, and my herbs are starting to fill out as well. I picked up a few more pepper plants this weekend - the habanero peppers I started from seed have not been doing very well, and since my husband loves his hot peppers, I wanted to make sure that I would have peppers for him later on this summer. I also grabbed a yellow bell pepper plant for me and stuck it between the ones I grew from seed in my staircase planter.

The flowers that I saw on my pea plants last week have given way to these little pea pods.
I like doing my daily inspection of the garden each evening as I water my plants, seeing how my cosmos and morning glories are getting stronger and fuller. And for the patient gardener, there are little discoveries every day that make all the wait worthwhile. On Monday, I found that the blossoms on my pea plants that I wrote about last week have transformed into pea pods. Just a little while longer and I'll have fresh peas to eat.
Despite my remarks about gardening not being an instant-gratification hobby, I did get a hanging basket for my cottage garden, ready assembled with pretty purple and orange petunias already blooming. I considered picking out plants and making a hanging basket myself, but as I was shopping for other things, this basket caught my eye and I couldn't resist it. Besides, it adds a bit of color to the front of my house while I wait for my cottage garden flowers to start blooming.

The New York Yankees were defeated by the Detroit Tigers, 3-0, on Sunday in Game 2 of the ALCS at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees trail the Tigers in the series, 2-0.
There was no scoring until the 7th inning due to a pair of gems pitched by Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda and Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez. The Yankees trailed 1-0 entering the 8th inning before this call at second base, which could have ended the top half of the inning, extended the inning.
This call was argued by Yankees manager Joe Girardi and he was ejected. The ejection was the fourth of the season for Girardi, in each case the Yankees were playing the Tigers.
After Girardi's ejection, the Tigers scored two runs when Avisail Garcia and Miguel Cabrera drove in runs with singles. Both of the earned runs were charged to starter Hiroki Kuroda who exited the game after pitching 7 2/3 innings. After Boone Logan, Joba Chamberlain and Clay Rapada gave up a combined two hits and a walk, Cody Eppley got a strikeout to end the inning.
The Yankees went down in order in the eighth inning but held Detroit to one hit in the ninth. Alex Rodriguez gave the Yankees some hope of a comeback in the ninth inning with a two-out single. He reached second base during Curtis Granderson's at-bat, but Granderson struck out to end the game. The Yankees finished the game 0-5 with runners in scoring position.
Sanchez picked up the victory going seven innings and giving up three hits and three walks while striking out seven batters. Kuroda took the loss. He gave up three earned runs on five hits while striking out 11 batters. Phil Coke got the save for the Tigers after pitching the last two scoreless innings. Coke struck out three batters while allowing just one hit.
Game 3 of the series will be played on Tuesday at Comerica Park.

The 1GB HD 4870 has been one of the more highly anticipated non-reference cards from ATI's R700/RV770 line-up.
Source: TechConnect
One more custom Radeon graphics card is coming out way as Sapphire has announced the PowerColor PCS+ HD4870 1GB GDDR5. As the name suggests the product in question is a RV770-powered Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB of on-board memory, but that's not the full story as the card is also factory overclocked and has a non-reference cooling system. Pictured below, Sapphire's new card has a GPU clock of 800 MHz (750 MHz stock) and its memory set to 3700 MHz (3600 MHz) and is equipped with the "Professional Cooling System +" which takes up two slots and features two copper heatpipes. As you'd expect, this card also offers DirectX 10.1 and CrossFireX support, a 256-bit memory interface and PCI-Express 2.0 connectivity. |

Cedar Rapids Weather
Blowing Snow Keeps Cedar Rapids Road Crews BusyBy Rick Smith, Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Nearly all of the city's residential streets will have been plowed and most arterials plowed anew by the time you get up on Friday morning. Even so, expect to see some snow on streets from blowing snow, says Craig Hanson, the city's public works maintenance manager.
Late Thursday afternoon, Hanson reported that the city took on between 6 and 9 inches of snow, with the north side of the city getting more than the south side, though some of the worst drifting was on the south side, particularly on 76th Avenue SW and Wright Brothers Boulevard SW. In fact, the city had to close down 76th Avenue SW on Thursday when winds of 35 to 40 miles created a white-out condition. City crews, Hanson said, had to withdraw plows from Wright Brothers Boulevard SW for a time for the same white-out conditions after a truck driving on the wrong side of the boulevard came at a city plow. Hanson said the intense Thursday wind complicated work for city crews, and he said dropping temperatures into the evening Thursday were making crews hustle to finish the cleanup of residential streets before the snow on them froze. Warm temperatures in the downtown at the start of the storm on Wednesday evening allowed the first couple of inches of snow there to melt, making six to eight inches of snow seem more like three to five inches, he said. Among the assignments for city crews today, he added, is the cleanup 23 miles of city sidewalk.

It was the stupid dentist's fault. He gets aroused and fires her? Dick.

So the dentist learned a new acronym, MILF and his wife overheard him referencing his assistant about it, so she had to be fired. I have to agree with LadyGun12, he's a bona fide Spicollian-grade A-1 D-I-C-K.

Soooooooo, some couples over time (in this case ten years), depending on age and other factors, will lose that gusto for sex and end up "once a week." For some that's not enough. The good doctor was not combating irresistible glamor but slowly ascending and gradually overbearing female sensuality that was starting to get the best of him. In other words, he started lusting after her because he wasn't getting enough nooky at home. (Were all adults here, so let's be frank.) Soooooooooo, he sort of did what Joseph did in the Bible but in reverse; instead of running from her, he ran her out. There how's that? Sound right?

Dagnabbit, @Jorel, for some reason, your avatar made me think of Mr. Neutron. So I started watching that episode of MP.

Hi Mary
I don't recall Mr Neutron, just watched him on YouTube. Maybe it was my cheapo TV set back then, but I could hardly make out what the boys were saying on MP. I watched some episodes, but really loved John Cleese and the rest of the cast in Fawlty Towers, as I selfishly nurtured a little bit of a crush on Prunella Scales, who strangely enough, looked (past tense) and still does (nice 2010 photo of her on Wikipedia)like my wife!
+1 -
I' a dentist so I've been following this a bit. He was texting her and saying things to her he shouldn't have. Wifey found out and probably gave him an ultimatum, so he had to can her. He came up with the reason he did. There is actual legal precedent that a relationship which interferes with the business owner's marriage is a terminable cause.
There's a more current picture of her, and there's no way you could say she was too hot.Not even lukewarm, more like room temperature. CrustyB has it right, only it would be a 10 year stretch in the cooler that would make her irresistible.
+2 -
BTW, in case you wondering, I do have a staff member that would qualify for the too hot to employ category. I have no intention of firing her. Just keep it professional.
That, and peek only when you are sure you won't get caught.
+4 -
Never could get into Fawlty Towers. Monty Python, on the other hand, is a borderline necessity of life.
I HAD forgotten how bizarre the Mr. Neutron episode was, though; I was unprepared to see it ex nihilo, as it were.
+1 -
"My brain hurts!"
+1 -
Not possible to do justice to great MP one-liners–not enough hours in the day.
Will end with a final comment: very likely the longest, most sustained fit of hysterical, tears-running-down-my-face laughter I ever had was the first time I saw the "Dead Parrot Sketch". It IS possible to laugh so hard that you forget to breathe.

The wife should have fired both of them.
You can bet any women working for him now
will be maddogged by his wife.I understand in a lot of counties, you can be fired and not given a reason. Just like you can quit and not have to say why- unless you are under a contract.

So, I guess another blow-job is out of the question?

She's attractive but the whole suit is a piece of crap. The dentist is an idiot and the judges should be replaced for ever awing this to come to court. What the hell is with Iowa anyway. It's beginning to look that the smartest person out of that state was Radar from MASH (The TV series not the movie).
+1 -
She's hot in a poor breeding sort of way.
If her employer considers that too hot, man! he needs to get out some.+1 -
which is to say she got caught under the boss's desk taking "dick-tation"….. she is a stunner the same way Nanny Peeelousi is….NOT!

A word from Il Cantinori
Il Cantinori, located in Greenwich Village, has been at the forefront of Tuscan cuisine in NYC since its opening in 1983. This old farmhouse with a rustic warmth, stucco walls, wooden beams and voluminous floral arrangements is very romantic and elegant. We combine the unique traditional flavors of
the Tuscan countryside with a complete seasonal lunch and dinner menu. We welcome guests with affectionate hospitality, daily specials and a wine list reflective of the northern Italian regions.

Diner Reviews
Hadn't been here in 20[?] yrs…..
found it better than ever. Very popular/crowded/noisy….. but food is sublime. Generous Restaurant week menu, too."
Dined on 3/5/2014
We, a group of 4, dined here, and
had an amazing night! It is perfect for people who are looking for somewhere not too formal with great dishes to choose from. We were very satisfied with our food and their service."
Dined on 3/5/2014
Even with all of the choices in
NYC, we chose to return to Il Cantinori because it was so outstanding the last time we were there. The wait staff seems to anticipate when you need something without hovering over the table. The food recommendations were right on the mark and delicious. You get the feeling they really want you to enjoy every aspect of your meal--and you do! Love this place and will return every time when visiting NYC."
Dined on 2/28/2014
This is a lovely spot, especially
in the rear dining room, where were were seated at a very nice table despite never having been to this restaurant before. We enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. Our enjoyments, however, made for a rather high-priced evening."
Dined on 2/27/2014
I just don't understand why this
place is still popular. Overpriced and they need to upgrade the quality of food."
Dined on 3/1/2014
What a pleasant experience.
Starting from the making the reservations right to our server!!!!!! I will definitely recommend this place to everyone (in fact, I've already started)!!!!!!!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
I went with a total group of 7
people while visiting NYC for the weekend. It was great- they checked our coat when we got there and seated us right away. There was endless bread (fresh baked) & a ton of staff to help us at any time. The food was amazing- we did the prefix menu for restaurant week. It was delicious. It was really cramped in the restaurant though. My drink (whiskey & ginger) was just about straight whiskey too, which is great at a bar but not a nice dinner. Everyone loved it overall, though. I got a bunch of praise from everyone on my choice. Highly recommend!!"
Dined on 2/28/2014
Our dinner was fantastic from
start to finish. Our waiter was attentive and made the evening even more special by remembering the birthday dessert!"
Dined on 2/24/2014
I went with a group of four girls
including myself. It was my friend's birthday. The service was exceptional! The food was awesome....so delicious. Love the attention we got from the beginning until the end. The atmosphere was beautirull. All there flowers arrangement are natural, which make the palce smell just wonderfully :-) Overal -a Great experience!"
Dined on 2/26/2014
From the decor to the food down to
the service. Perfect! My dinner experience was simply perfect."
Dined on 2/21/2014
Our wobbly table was attended to
(thank you) and became unstable again within a few minutes. When asked for a wine list the waiter replied there was none but he could tell us the kinds of wines available! What!?! Minestrone was okay but the kale salad dressing had enough vinegar to shine my hair. Filet of sole was poorly trimmed and served with dark edges. The sauce was a thick lemon flavored goo with capers. The accompanying string beans were nicely cooked but whatever coated them remains a tasteless mystery. Ice cream sandwich desert was yummy but the layers in the pear tart were indistinguishable. And why was a spoon the utensil I received with this instead of a desert fork?"
Dined on 2/20/2014
When we come to NY, Il Cantinori
is always on our list of restaurants!"
Dined on 2/20/2014
Terrific service, but the food was
meh. Overly tart lemon kale salad and grilled calamari drowning in oil By far the best dish of the night was pasta ala matriciana. Excellent biscotti and other cookies closed the meal. So sad though, because Il Cantinori used to be Italian in NYC at its best:("
Dined on 2/19/2014
The food was excellent, the decor
very nice and the neighborhood convenient. Would definitely recommend."
Dined on 2/17/2014
Great dining experience. Pasta
dishes were fresh and extremely flavorful, veal chop was awesome, deserts... Awesome. Would highly recommend this spot for special or regular occasions."

Perhaps this place has seen better
days, but was I ever disappointed. An uncreative menu stuck in 1982 is one thing: If it's well-executed with fresh ingredients, then I can live with it. But this simply wasn't. The appetizer -- of a portobello mushroom -- was pretty decent. The "sauce" brought out for the bread was ... odd. A spaghetti sauce to dip your bread in? I've never seen such a thing; seemed a poor imitation of bruschetta. As for the main course: a rubbery, ill-prepared cod (that tasted frozen). What you could taste of it anyway! Mostly I just tasted more spaghetti sauce, which the fish was swimming in. Dessert was good. Drinks were standard-issue. Bill was overpriced. If you want a red-sauce joint, find a better one."

Fantastic food, friendly staff.
Great find in NYC."

I recommend if you go, you request
a table in the front of the restaurant. There are too many babies and families in the back if you are looking for a nice quiet evening. The pasta dish was very undercooked, the service unfriendly and no apologies made for our waiting so long for the entrees."

Service was slow as a result meals
arrived luke warm. Back room is cramp . ok I if you are in the neighborhood."

This charming restaurant is
absolutely adorable. The food was really delicious. For those of us who love conversation with our dinner, the moderate noise level made conversation easy. I highly recommend it."
Dined on 1/26/2014
Our family enjoyed our meal very
much. We went there for my husband's birthday. The server was wonderful, especially in accommodating our teen daughter, who is a very picky eater. My only recommendation is that the restaurant should have some additional dishes available that are kid-friendly, i.e., plain pasta, sauces, cheese ravioli and chicken parm, or something similar. All in all, I would return in a heartbeat, as the experience was wonderful."

Food very good didn't like wine by
the glass selections just had white or red no brands. Also thought food good but way over priced for what it was"

We had a wonderful dinner at Il
Cantinori as a result of a great waiter, terrific food, a nice large round corner table in the back room, great wines and a good atmosphere. The menu selections were very broad and many of the members in our party had trouble picking what to have - a good thing! Each course was outstanding and we were all very happy with the meal... hard to recommned any specific dishes since all were great! Even though the food was excellent, most notable, however, was the service, which was attentive without being overbearing, and our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and hard working-- we would definitely recommend Il Cantinori"

A wonderful restaurant that has
been around for many years with ownership changes while the food and venue have remained consistent."
Dined on 1/7/2014
The dishes we ate were absolutely
divine! Started with insalata caprese then for my main course I had the pappardelle alla buttera. It was SOOO delicious! We also ordered one of the specials for the evening, the rabbit, which also came with little sausages and your choice of pasta. It was all such a great experience and very romantic with the dim lighting. It's a small restaurant, as are almost all in NYC, so the tables are a little close together but I didn't even notice because I was enjoying myself so much!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Unless it was fully booked on this
evening the food was very good, without any doubt the best restaurant during our stay in New York!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Il Cantinori was beautifully
decorated for new years eve. Balloons added to the celebratory feeling. The atmosphere was great. Our server was very busy but attentive. My husband had one of the many specials and the kitchen made me something that wasn't on the menu. We were both really pleased our meals. Everything was really delicious."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Went there for a first date and it
was absolutely amazing. The Moscato was delicious, the pasta was to die for and was a perfectly sized portion. Enough to make you sufficiently full without hating yourself. The bread and tomato sauce was good. The tiramisu and sorbet were divine. The service was great plus all the waiters have thick authentic italian accents which sorta made me feel like I wss in italy. It's definitely expensive but very well worth the price."

Went here for New Year's Eve
dinner. Quite packed with groups. Food was good. A bit over priced for what we got."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Ambience is fit for a
sophisticated occasion or date night. Looks small from the front, but they have a big back room with a vaulted glass ceiling - very beautiful. We had a group of 9 and the service was great - waiter was funny and polite. The food came out promptly, wine glasses were always topped off. Food was good, just good.The menu seemed limited, but I assume it was because it changes according to season/market availability. Some dishes were on the smaller side (ravioli) and some were plentiful (boar fettuccine) so it was hit or miss. I had the duck which very deliciously tender, but only came with italian beans and was missing some sort of sauce. Grilled calamari appetizer was the best dish that night - fresh/fragrant/perfect char."

Always warm and inviting- classic
northern Italian food."

class place. fast- knowledgeable

Dined on 12/19/2013
have been there before when it's
been great. this was mediocre at best. pretty clear from the get go that priority #1 was to turn the table over. better if you just let us know up front what time you need it. food was average. veal ossobucco special not cooked anywhere near as long as needed to be. it's a friday night during holiday season: plan a menu that can be executed. reservation request was to sit in the front room. sat in a corner in the back. why bother making requests if it's going to be ignored?"
Dined on 12/20/2013
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed what
they ordered. I had the homemade fettucine with lobster and truffle sauce and it was fantastic! The appetizers and desserts were all flavorful and the drinks were strong!"
Dined on 12/18/2013
The title says it all. We are
never disappointed at Il Cantinori. The food is always of the highest quality, always cooked perfectly, and always served graciously. The atmosphere, although noisy, is warm and inviting. We are regulars there because we feel at home and welcome whenever we dine there."

Restaurant was great, easy to book

An Oldie but Goodie in the
Village. Fantastic service, great wine list and some of the best food I've had in a long time. Everything was perfect. You cannot go wrong here. Sent here by a former waiter there, and everything from the appetizers to the dessert was great. Truffles on linguini...a must here."
Dined on 12/7/2013
We went for a special occasion
dinner -- a group of 8 friends -- and they were accommodating and charming. And the food was perfection."
Dined on 12/7/2013
This restaurant came highly
recommended and did not disappoint. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant. The food and wine list were exceptional but the best part was the service. From the Owner greeting us, to the outstanding table service. All of it was perfect. We can't wait to go back and will highly recommend it to all of our friends."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The web site was very easy to use. So many beautiful products to choose from. I am the mother of the groom, so when I was planning our family shower, and then went looking for a shower invite, I did not want anything too feminine. I simply typed in coed shower and many popped up. This one was perfect because of the colors, blue and green and Mr. and Mrs. Next we have the rehearsal dinner to plan, and there are many, many beautiful ones. Must nail down date and time before I can order. Thanks"
"This product could not be any better! I purchased the larger rectangle envelopes because they did not require extra postage. I was worried it wouldn't look right, but the evnvelopes are specially designed to fit the invitation."
"We are having 2 showers in and out of state. This invitation turned out beyond my expectations. So many people loved the photo idea for a shower invitation. I like that we can make the shower about us and not just me. It's terrific, great quality, vibrant color and they were able to customize the bar to match the shade of blue we are using in the wedding. Great product!"
"I changed the color to red to match the wedding color. The color on line was exactly what the color was when I received them. I was very please with how they turned out. They were high quality. I would recommend this website to others. Thanks Paper Divas!"
"I love this design. Great quality product. The printing and paper quality are great. This is the second time that I've used Wedding Paper Divas and I'm just as happy and impressed as last time."

Ahhhh Black Friday. Don't you just love it? The long lines, early mornings, the yelling, the pushing and shoving...
Black Friday is the lovely time of year when we all get together to trample each other for a deal, shortly after we just spent an entire day being thankful. In order to really benefit, there are a few key things you should know before you go Black Friday shopping and they are as follows:
1. Make sure you get in line a least a week before in order to secure your spot.
2. If you're not first, what's the point? Just turn around and go home with your head down in shame.
3. Make sure you have plenty of caffeine to tide you over for the long night ahead of you: 3 cups minimum. Jittery? That's ok - it's all part of the plan!
4. Make sure you're tag-teaming with at least 2.5 friends and/or family members. Go hard or go home people! Those who go alone end up with less deals!
5. Make sure you wear goggles to protect your eyes. Bonus points if you bring a helmet and knee pads, too!
6. When the employees come to the door and get ready to open the store, make sure you rush as fast as possible to get inside.
7. If the store is already open, make sure you're at the front of line - no matter the cost!
8. When the deals begin, it's time to act! Pushing, shoving - these are all on the menu.
9. If you didn't get to a deal in time, feel free to take an item out of someone else's cart. Etiquette and decorum? Nah! Not on Black Friday...
10. And if you really couldn't get a deal, go stand in the customer service line for several hours and then complain about it. They like that!
Ha. Obviously this post is meant as sarcasm. I'm not a huge fan of heading out on Black Friday because, frankly, it's dangerous! Who wants to face the crowds for a discounted toaster oven? Not me! This is especially true because there's sufficient evidence that Black Friday is Dead, and people are now getting all of those same deals by shopping online.
For some tips that will actually help you this Black Friday, check out these posts from the DealPros, and R.I.P. Black Friday:

Got "nurse face"? How'd you get it?
- 2Dec 28, '12 by Cinquefoil"Nurse face" = the calm, collected expression that a nurse wears
I am a BSN, graduated Sept, no job yet (but looking hard), 2 years experience in LTC, and right now doing temporary caregiving/sitting work in an LTC (private pay).
I'm working on improving my practice. One aspect I'm working on improving is my "nurse face".
I'm pretty good (I think!?) at keeping nurse face when directly speaking with patients and families. At least, I've only rarely gotten feedback that I look tense while talking to them, and I've gotten a lot of other good feedback about how they feel about the conversation.
It's in the spaces in between - hurrying down hallways, trying to collect my thoughts, interacting with coworkers, working on the computer, untangling IV's, mentally counting what supplies I'll need to come back with, trying to punch meds accurately - that the tension gets into my face. And according to some of my former coworkers, it gets in there pretty good. Almost like I just bit a lemon with my whole face.
I'm trying to notice this more and consciously relax my facial expression, but it would really help me to hear some success stories.
Did you ever have to work on your "nurse face", and what helped it happen for you?

- 10Dec 28, '12 by TheCommuter Asst. AdminI already have a restricted affect and have difficulty showing or feeling emotions at any given point in time, so the 'nurse face' came easily to me. Some of my former and present coworkers have commented that I look "so calm."
Don't bark at me when I admit this, people. . . . .but I also have some difficulty with empathy. So when a patient is grimacing with extreme pain and rates it a 10/10, I'll quickly intervene without experiencing the range of emotions or achieving the depth of feeling that other caregivers seem to feel.
So, my 'nurse face' is partly due to being emotionally detached. - 8Dec 28, '12 by LadyFree28Early in my nursing career, I had a really good "nurse face"...after being in health care for 12 years, I stopped being concerned about my face...what I worked on was my body language of maintaing a "calmness" in my body, despite a firm tone or a tense face...it becomes interpreted as me being determined. Once you get comfortable with the flow of nursing care meaning, expect the unexpected, your own "nurse face" will appear on its own.
- 2Dec 28, '12 by LadyFree28@ TheCommuter, No barking here...some form of emotional detachment can be beneficial...as long as you are aware of your emotions and are helping your patients.maelstrom143 and Anoetos like this.
- 3Dec 28, '12 by AnoetosSo funny, I was thinking about this yesterday. I was trying to process a lab draw from this lady's PICC line and COULD NOT get the SoftID program to work. First of all, the MD put the order in wrong ("Renal Function Panel, each morning, collect at 5 pm"?), so I had to change it, and it would not come up in the program we use for processing them.
Turns out that since the lady was from a rehab unit and it is a different phase of care, she needed a new wrist band to scan. Anyway, add to this that she was a very, err, challenging patient (she is a rheumatologist in the same hospital), and the fact that it's 1900 and time to give report, the draw is probably hemolysing in the tube, the patient's close friend is a nursing student watching me like a hawk, and you can imagine I was all abuzz on the inside.
Somehow I was able to work through it without giving any signs of distress or irritation (although I was both distressed and irritated). I don't know if this is because the SSRI I am taking is working or because I am learning "nurse face"...maybe a combination of both.
The latter seems to be borne of a realization that "freaking out" is, at best sub-therapeutic and unprofessional and at worst a guaranteed ticket to corrective action. - 2Dec 28, '12 by AnoetosTheCommuter,
Great observation. I think I am similar. I have no difficulty acting and in being empathetic, but I just don't get all frantic by things like walking into a room where the patient has de-foleyed himself, or someone is actively bleeding, or in the middle of a really active session of enhanced hematemesis, or coding unexpectedly...
Having said that though, when its something stupid and picayune like not being able to get a machine to work properly, I have, in the past had to walk away and come back to it in a better frame of mind...
Yesterday I didn't and it was nice.BelgianRN and TheCommuter like this. - 12Dec 28, '12 by Nascar nurseTo Thecommuter (and others like you)..when I first started my nursing career way way way back in the day, people like you frustrated me and even intimidated me. I thought "Are they made of stone or what" "Maybe they are just mean"
Many years later I have learned that I would pick someone like you to work with 100% of the time. All that drama crap is for the birds. Give me a hard working co-worker that won't flip out over every little thing anyday of the week! - 2Dec 29, '12 by hiddencatRNQuote from TheCommuterI think experiencing a wave of emotions rather than acting first to correct the situation is a sign of being a little to emeshed in your patients. Patient in severe pain? Let's get that IV going, flag the MD down for a pain med order, and get that med in. THEN I'll pat their hands and make the requisite cooing noises.Don't bark at me when I admit this, people. . . . .but I also have some difficulty with empathy. So when a patient is grimacing with extreme pain and rates it a 10/10, I'll quickly intervene without experiencing the range of emotions or achieving the depth of feeling that other caregivers seem to feel.
But I am also completely befuddled by nurses who will post here about hating to cause patients pain with IV starts or other necessary interventions. Forget that, I love starting IVs. I don't have to struggle with guilt before starting one. It's being done for a reason and is part of what the patient needs to get better.
Anyway, OP, I apparently look like a witch with a b when I'm thinking or concentrating. I've gotten some comments that I look like I'm angry or about to yell at someone and I'll be all "I was just trying to remember if I documented that PO challenge before I shart the discharge...." So, I do try to relax my face and not squint or scowl. Or accidentally roll my eyes (something that used to get me in trouble ALL the time in my former career. It's apparently an involuntary reflex reaction to stupidity).teeniebert and Anoetos like this. - 5Dec 29, '12 by ~*Stargazer*~Practice. Lots of practice. Basically doing the same thing you are, which is self observation and noticing when my facial muscles are tense, then making a conscious effort to relax them. I take it a little further and extend it to my entire body. Are my shoulders tense? Yes? Then inhale deeply and let my shoulders drop as I exhale, and so on.
I've been told I looked angry, when I was really just concentrating. I've been told I looked like I was stomping around in a huff, when I was just trying to get things done quickly. When I have been mindful of my posture and facial expression, I have been complimented on my calm demeanor.

China Walls
From Openwaterpedia
China Walls is infamous in Hawaii for its breathtaking beauty and treacherous waters. Due to the numerous fatalities that have taken place over the years, China Walls surf break has gained the reputation of being unpredictable and deadly. It is considered by some, to be a "rite of passage" to leap off the cliffs of Portlock into the rolling surf below.The bottom is a jagged reef, but equally as dangerous are the jutting cliffs.
It has also been the finishing point of 3 Molokai Channel swimmers: Stephen Redmond, Michael Ventre and Kim Chambers.
