Q: Is Pro‐Flex® considered bonded if it is connected to an appliance?
Q: Is Pro‐Flex® required to be bonded?
Q: Can you bury the CSST?
Q: How does Pro‐Flex® vary from other CSST systems?
- Pro‐Flex® fittings are easy to assemble/install. No special tools are required and no flaring is required.
- Our fittings are THE ONLY DUAL SEALED FITTINGS FOR ADDED SAFETY! Our proprietary High‐Temperature Gasket and Silicone O‐Ring will withstand extreme heat and cold temperatures and has been tested for longevity. All fittings and component parts are certified by CSA to the ANSI LC‐1‐2005, CSA 6.26‐2005 standards.
- Pro‐Flex® has the only CSST fittings and components that are reusable.
- Pro‐Flex® flexible piping is annealed to give better flexibility without altering the strength of the pipe. Pro‐Flex® flexible pipes will stay in place when formed or bent. Non‐annealed pipe, bent after forming, has a much higher chance of stress corrosion cracking.
- Pro‐Flex® CSST is sold along with an installation manual which includes all information needed to install Pro‐Flex® correctly. Unlike other CSST systems, one is not required to become certified to install this product. By reading and understanding the installation manual and signing and mailing the qualified installer card back to Pro‐Flex®, the installer is then qualified to use this product.

Nice and fun checkers set for a MLB fan especially for Cardinals fans. My only complaint is that I thought the checker board would be one piece with the checker board painted onto the board itself. This is not the case. The checker board consists of a sticker type paper that has been glued to the card board checker board. It isn't badly put together and still looks nice. However a one piece painted board would have been better in my opinion. Overall, the board still does the trick and the Cardinals versus the Cubs checker pieces are worth the price. This would make a nice birthday gift for a young or old Cardinals fan.

The music and legacy of Tropicalia are referenced often, but hardly ever presented this well – and this package is everything we could have hoped for as an introduction to the movement – filled with key late 60s works from the most important musicians associated with Tropicalia – an great starting point for the movement that's filled with most essential tracks! And even if you have some of this stuff already on individual albums, it really sounds great together – a rich document of this amazing musical moment. Titles include "Bat Macumba" by Gilberto Gil, "Tuareg" and "Sebastiana" by Gal Costa, "A Minha Menina" and "Panis Et Circenses" by Os Mutantes, "Alfo Mega" and "Tropicalia" by Caetano Veloso, "Gloria" and "Jimmy Renda-Se" by Tom Ze, "Procissao" by Gilberto Gil, "Ave Genghis Khan" by Os Mutantes, "Take It Easy My Brother Charles" by Jorge Ben, "Quero Sambal Meu Bem" by Tom Ze, "Lost In The Paradise" by Caetano Veloso, "Bat Macumba" by Os Mutantes, "Domingo No Parque" by Gilberto Gil & Os Mutantes, and "Irene" by Caetano Veloso. © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

According to dermatologist Seth Orlow, professor of pediatric dermatology at New York University School of Medicine, most birthmarks are harmless, and many go away on their own in the first few years of life.
There are a few exceptions. In fact, 40,000 U.S. children a year have birthmarks that need medical attention. So it's important to have your child's healthcare provider take a look at all of your child's birthmarks. Potential problems include:
It depends. Some of the birthmarks mentioned above (like a hemangioma pushing on the eye) may require removal.
For others, the decision is controversial. Because so many birthmarks fade on their own without causing any physical problems, your child's doctor may suggest patience rather than treatment if a birthmark isn't disfiguring or causing physical problems. Some experts have challenged this wait-and-see approach, though, arguing that early intervention to treat certain birthmarks can be helpful because enough of them don't go away on their own.
If your child has a disturbing birthmark, talk with his doctor (and get a second opinion, if necessary) about options for treatment.
Depending on the birthmark, treatment options include surgery, laser therapy, and (in the case of certain hemangiomas) topical, oral, or injected steroids or topical or oral beta-blockers. Orlow says that almost all surgical birthmark-removal treatments can cause some scarring.
While port-wine stains could not be treated in the past, the introduction of the first pulsed-dye laser 25 years ago revolutionized the management of these birthmarks, especially on the face.
The best way to handle strangers – and family and friends – who may stare or make insensitive remarks about your child's birthmark is to talk to them directly.
Most people don't mean to be insensitive. If you notice someone pointing or staring at your child, you might approach the person in a friendly manner and explain that your child has a birthmark.
When you think your child is old enough to understand, explain to him what his birthmark is, why others are interested in it, and how he might cope with comments. Help him practice what he wants to say. ("It's a birthmark that I was born with.")
If he's heading to daycare, preschool, or school, talk with the staff beforehand to give them information about birthmarks and a heads-up about your child's feelings about his appearance.
Coming to terms with your child's birthmark, especially one that's large or disfiguring, can be a tall order. Find out all you can about the type of birthmark it is, so you'll feel better able to discuss it with your child's healthcare provider. You may also find it helpful to talk with other parents who are grappling with the same thing.
For more birthmark information and referrals, visit the American Academy of Dermatology or the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation websites.

A very interesting interview in which Greenspan praises the gold standard, says that artificially low interest rates can cause the business cycle, and suggests that we could do without a central bank provided we also get rid of fiat money.

It doesn't suprise me that he would make these comments as he and Ayn Rand used to debate these issues until the wee hours of the morning, according to what I've read.

Alan Greenspan is great on the Fed when he isn't its chairman.

"ah, my old ring… may i see it?"

One thing about Greenspan is that he is a master of saying two or more things at the same time.
Regardless, I applaud him for speaking the truth to the public even though he does it in his usual veiled way.

Dear Eric Lansing,
What a great analogy!

Greenspan argues the Fed did not create the housing bubble; rather, it was the result of a savings glut from the fall of communism globally. Further, he says the Fed only lowered short-term rates, adding the institution cannot affect long-term rates that apply to the housing market. I'm no expert in Austrian economics — still learning — so I'm wondering if someone here can address those points.
- January 14, 2008 at 5:04 pm
I love that he defends his actions as Fed chairman when the reporter brings up the current housing situation analogy with the Tech bubble.
Quite honestly, Greenspan is being disingenuous when he stated that because the Federal Reserve only has control over short term interest rates and that raising them "rapidly" throughout 2004 didn't have any effect on long term rates, the housing bubble isn't his fault.
The reason being because the Fed has control over the fraction reserve rates. All he had to do was reign in the money supply by upping the reserve ratios, or even quit buying T-Bills. Tightening the money supply would have certainly had a very quick impact on long term interest rates.
The reality is, Greenspan had a war to finance (counterfeit for), and there was no way he was going to rain on the Bush parade.

"Your toe bone connected to your foot bone
Your foot bone connected to your ankle bone
Your ankle bone connected to your leg bone"
to kc/dc: just like "dem dry bones" says, there is interconnectivity between the short and long parts of the yield curve. banks can access cheap short-term money and ride the yield curve very profitably. as an example, after september 11 the extremely cheap short-term money made it very profitable to borrow at 1% and buy long-bonds. the buying pressure on bonds sent long-yields to thirty year lows. mortgages are priced off the long end of the yield curve.
do a google search on "carry trade", if you want more on how this works.
greenspan is a fibber, and this is a comment pitched at the lay public only.
- January 14, 2008 at 6:33 pm
It's funny that Greenspan believed in real hard asset money in the 1960s when he wrote a dissertation about gold currency playing the most fundamental role of exchange in economies since the dawn of time, and when he sold his soul to run the most powerful position in the world he inflates the fiat (read: fake) money supply from $4 trillion to $10 trillion to keep all the Wall Street traders happy and all Americans experiencing rapid 4-5% annual inflation. Prior to Greenspan, inflation for the past century averaged 0-1%!! Now he's saying the very institution that he sold his soul to run for 17 years wasn't necessary? What a freakin hypocrite if we ever saw one! This is a spineless little geek who doesn't dare stand up for anything that's real and honest. Our global economy is in such shambles today because we have allowed mentally weak individuals such as Greenspan to take office. He oversaw the huge growth of such massive markets as the derivatives, interest-rate swaps, CDO's, and mortgage industries, and he did NOTHING as Fed chairman to lay down ANY policy to impose regulation on them? I suppose they can regulate themselves? When the rest of the IRS, derivatives blow up, history will see that Greenspan will be the one to blame. Because poor old Bernanke just walked into a collapsing mine.
- January 14, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Does anyone know how much control over the Fed the chairman really has? He always seemed like a "fall guy" to me.
- January 14, 2008 at 8:33 pm
to kc/dc:
greenspan's asserts that the raising of short-term rates from 2004 onwards had no effect on the longer end of the curve (in his words, a "conundrum"), thereby exonerating the fed for the housing bubble/bust.
that long term rates have risen is due to foreign central banks, notably the japanese and chinese, stepping up to the plate and amassing vast holdings of us t-bonds. this market has been a convenient parking ground for investing their enormous usd receipts. if they repatriated export earnings, their own currencies would rise, and this goes against their mercantilist instincts.
what would be really interesting to know from greenspan is the degree of coordination between the fed, the boj and the people's bank of china in this game. maybe that chapter will be in "turbulence II". not.

Does anyone know the date that this interview was done, and is it available in it's entirety as it seemed to be cut short.
- January 14, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Here's an interesting take:
It's a theory that Alan Greenspan intentionally subverted the fiat dollar to force us all back onto a hard monetary standard.
The author has made a few mistakes in his thesis, but it's an interesting read just the same.

I know he has oft-repeated that he *proved* the Fed doesn't influence longer-term rates, but his repeated assertions do not make it true.
Investors simply have expectations about the Fed's actions in the future.
- January 15, 2008 at 5:56 am
I'm not impressed. Greenspan is trying to have it both ways by first claiming that his policy had nothing to do with the housing bubble and then say that central banks could possibly cause troubles (Only it didn't in his case).
Had he really wanted to make the case against central banks he should have admitted that his policies were responsible for the housing bubble (and the tech stock bubble).
As for his nonsense that only long-term rates matter for the housing bubble and that central banks cannot influence long-term rates, I've already replied to that in a previous blog post, both of these claims are false as a lot of loans were made in so-called adjustable rate mortgages which are controlled by short-term interest rates and as long-term interest rates reflect expected future short-term interest rates and can accordingly be influenced by the central bank. I discussed this in a more extensive way in a previous blog post:
- January 15, 2008 at 8:40 am
I'm not an economist, but it seems to me that blaming Greenspan for the bubble is like blaming your accountant when you spend too much money.
It seems pretty simple to me: you can't spend more money than you have, even if you own the printing presses.
The present system is run by people that overwhelmingly think you can do this. 90% of the voting population also believes it and will vote for someone who proclaims to continue doing it.
- January 15, 2008 at 10:16 am
While no huge fan of the Fed, there is a certain aspect of the invisible hand to the housing bubble. We call it a stock bubble from the 1999 to 2001 but we are still at those highs. We call it a housing bubble due to low intereste rates caused by Greenspans Fed. But today rates are the same or lower then they were 2-3 years ago. Credit requirements have increased certainly, but that has zero to do with the fed. The big bust is in the collatoralized secutirty market almost entirely subprime and near subprime assets based securities. Prime is getting hit as well marked to market.
But that is a credit issue not an interest rate issue. I'd also argue its a "new product" issue where the bundling of securities were created and marketed to buyers who wanted them. Another counter point is this. Investors in fixed income had nowhere to invest to get natural rates of return (assumed to be higher if the Fed weren't around) But again the rates today are equally as low and there is no scrambling for high yield debt as there was 3 years ago.
So this is just boom bust? Ok maybe, but laying all at the foot of the Feds low interest rates is a bit much. Quite a bit of it is pure marketplace randomness. Additional fuel specific to housing was the tax benefit on housing profits, product development of mortgage securitization, sell out by the ratings agencies, Overseas purchases of US debt (possibly indirectly due to Fed policies)

"I'm not an economist, but it seems to me that blaming Greenspan for the bubble is like blaming your accountant when you spend too much money."
Your analogy would make sense if Greenspan directed fiscal policy (government revenue and spending) and if we were discussing budget deficits and not market bubbles. Greenspan was involved in monetary policy, which has to do with controlling the supply of money and has nothing to do with the federal budget.
- January 15, 2008 at 5:02 pm
To Revo,
Touche, Greenspan is a carrerist who put his ambition above the nation's interests. I fear for my country when I think that people like him are entrusted with great power.

to ed:
the proliferation of financial products is a symptom of the malaise, not the cause. the massive volatility of interest rates, asset prices and exchange rates is all traceable back to removing the stabilizing effect that gold used to provide the financial system.
derivative products only thrive where there is volatility. history bears this out, futures on tulips were a feature of tulipmania.

Ed: "Ok maybe, but laying all at the foot of the Feds low interest rates is a bit much. Quite a bit of it is pure marketplace randomness.â€
You're looking at the data and trying to find correlations that you can use to build a theory. Certainly that's the MO of mainstream econ. But as Mises pointed out, you need to approach data with sound theory in mind first; otherwise the data will lead to a mass of contradictions and contradictory theories. This is especially true of history. You can prove any theory by historical data if you look long enough at it and are selective in what data you use.
Austrians approach the sub prime issue with a very sound theory of the business cycle that admits that business people make mistakes, and random errors will cluster once in a while. But when we experience failure on the scale of the sub prime lending fiasco, it's reasonable to look for a cause beyond randomness and the Austrian Business Cycle Theory offers one: lowering interest rates affect those industries the most that are most sensitive to interest rates. Housing is very sensitive to small changes in interest rates, from construction to lending. After 2001, the Fed lowered short term rates to around 1%, which pushed huge amounts of new money into banks for lending. Long term rates and mortgages didn't fall as much, probably because of fears of inflation. So banks have lots of new money to loan but borrowers have no incentive to borrow at existing long term rates. What do banks do to get rid of the new money the fed has given them? They lower credit standards. They start lending to people with bad credit. That may sound stupid, but consider that the bank will not hold onto the loan very long. It will sell the loan in a package to other investors. So the bank is protected if interest rates rise. The purchasers of the packaged loans thought that they were protected because the risky loans were mixed with a lot of good loans. They guessed wrong, but that happens a lot with new financial instruments. People get over confident.
Keith: "you can't spend more money than you have, even if you own the printing presses.
It's true that it takes two people to tango or to transact a loan. And many people spend more than they earn and are not financially literate. But what keeps a lid on such stupid decisions and prevents them from getting out of control as they did in the sub prime fiasco? Interest rates and credit standards. They are the walls that keep the barbarians from looting the city. Who controls the height and strength of those walls? The feds.

I don't understand what you mean ed:
Bad mortgage collaterals… that is a credit issue not an interest rate issue."
Wouldn't you agree that the mortgage problem arose as the credit rates were lifted more than expected from those lows … making out of so-so lenders, suddenly bad lenders.
If credit was 15%, there would be
1. less bad lenders
2. less chances for them to see the Fed push a rate hike
Where I agree though: certainly the attention paid to the rates as to determine the amount of liquidity flooding the market is (according to Rothbard) mostly exagerated.
The Fed has more powerful means to add liquidity.
- January 16, 2008 at 10:26 am
Artisan: "The Fed has more powerful means to add liquidity."
But isn't the effect the same? If the fed buys bonds, it increases the supply of money, which lowers interest rates. If the fed lowers reserve requirements, banks have more money to lend and that lowers interest rates.

All who are interested in what Greenspan is really taking about would be very interested in the book titled, " The Creature From Jekyll Island." Read this and be informed about the whole history and underlying structure that rules our life and politics. The island in the title is where the first meetings were held by the financial elite to plan the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank. This "bank" is a privately owned business entity. Find out who owns it and the aim. Book is very well written and notated with extensive bibliography for further research. ISBN 0-912986-39-5

In response to last year's outbreaks of E. coli, salmonella, and ammonia in beef, the American Meat Institute (AMI) is urging the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to approve slaughterhouse irradiation as the solution. The AMI has been requesting irradiation approval for years from the USDA, insisting that the process would stop outbreaks by eliminating contamination at the source.
Consumer confidence in the safety of commercial food has been dwindling as outbreak after outbreak dominates national headlines. Particularly in meat, there have been seemingly countless recalls of contaminated, commercially raised beef, leading to an outcry for something to be done.
Unfortunately, rather than address the inherent failures of industrial food production that have led to widespread contamination in the first place, the USDA and others are leaning towards the idea of nuking the entire food supply instead.
Irradiating food not only changes its composition and makes it unsafe and unfit for human consumption, but the costs associated with implementing an irradiation system would be incredibly expensive, especially for smaller producers.
Ironically, the large producers responsible for the vast majority of outbreaks would have the easiest time complying with irradiation mandates while smaller producers who generally provide the cleanest meat would bear an incredible expense that could put them out of business.
Regulatory agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the USDA habitually fail to address the source of problems like food contamination and, instead, respond with illogical propositions that make the problem worse. Much like pharmaceutical drugs, their methods fail to provide a remedy and only compound the problems by trying to treat their symptoms.

About four songs into the 11 they performed, Caleb Followill started complaining about losing his voice. He told the crowd he was feeling ill, saying, "If you guys would please help me sing, I'd love it." About 50 minutes in, the rocker, 29, said he needed a break. "I'm gonna go backstage for a second and I'm gonna vomit," he told the audience at the Gexa Energy Pavilion. "I'm gonna drink a beer and I'm gonna come back out and I'm gonna play three more songs."

I know that I needed to measure around my stomach and not my waist (34") and it came out at 36" when the tape was pulled tight. My question is what size should I get since there is 33" - 35" and a 36" - 39"? I just wanna make sure it fits tightly.
It would be great it they made a 35 - 38 one...oh well.

|Electoral consequences of the HHS mandate
|By George J. Marlin
|Wednesday, 08 February 2012
Our president and his cadre of managers of the nation's collective life caused a political firestorm in late January. They ignored conscience objections of religious leaders and ordered Catholic schools, hospitals, and charities to amend by August 30, 2013 their healthcare plans to include birth-control services (among them abortion-inducing drugs and sterilization procedures) or be subject to millions of dollars in fines and penalties. This may lead to civil strife for the nation and political disaster in several key battleground states for Mr. Obama.
Prominent Catholics from all points on the political spectrum were aghast. Cardinal-elect Timothy Dolan, President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, said, "In effect, the President is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our own consciences. . . . Never before has the federal government forced individuals and organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience. This shouldn't happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights."
The nationally syndicated columnist, E.J. Dionne, a baptized Catholic and relentless supporter of the president, denounced Obama for throwing "his progressive Catholic allies under the bus." Sean Michael Winter, writing in the dissident National Catholic Reporter, accused the president of "dishonoring your own vision by this shameful action" and vowed not to vote for him this fall.
Obama's assumption appears to have been that Catholics who ignore the Church's teaching on contraception would not be offended – or at least that such offense as they might take will not matter politically. But that calculation appears to be profoundly mistaken. Reports from dioceses all over the nation indicate that most Catholics are appalled that the federal government is attempting to circumvent the First Amendment and restrict freedom of conscience.
I myself witnessed that anger at a Catholic dinner in Manhattan on February 2. Bishop Nicholas DeMarzio, the Ordinary of the Brooklyn Diocese, received a rousing standing ovation from the 750 attendees after he denounced the federal edict.
This political blunder will have a price. Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who has introduced legislation to repeal the order, summed it up best when he said, "This is going to hurt [Obama] not only among Catholics and religious voters . . . because it reflects a pattern of overreach."
In my judgment, it could cost Obama the election. That's because key-swing states that will determine the 2012 winner – Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida – have large populations of older church-going Catholics who are not happy with Obama's ideologically driven directive.
In 2008, Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, received 173 electoral votes, 97 shy of the 270 needed to win. The Electoral College vote total of the seven battle ground states that Obama carried and have Catholic populations exceeding 20 percent of the electorate will be 110 electoral votes in 2012. And if there is a 5- to 10-percent shift in the Catholic vote to a Republican pro-life candidate in those seven tightly contested states this November, Obama loses.
A far-fetched analysis? Absolutely not. These seven states have been trending Republican and 2010 exit polls revealed that many Catholics, who in 2008 stayed home or voted for Obama, turned out to punish Democrats in the 2010 mid-term elections.
Catholics angry over the weak economy and the failed stimulus package and disgusted with Democratic legislators, (particularly Catholic ones) who voted for Obamacare, helped the GOP pick up 20 congressional seats in those seven states – 32 percent of their total national House gains. Catholics also provided the margins of victory for pro-life Republican senatorial candidates in Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – 50 percent of their 2010 gains. Thanks to the support from Catholic voters, the GOP also took over the governor's mansions in Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The 2010 election results indicate that Catholics have the ballot-box power to send Obama and the narcissist elites that surround him packing in 2012. This November, Catholics can send the message that Obama does not have a providential role, doesn't know what is best for the faithful, and cannot undercut the very foundations of our democracy.

Why do we say in Birchas HaShachar Shelo Asani Goi - why do we not say SheAsani Yehudi or SheAsani Yisrael?
Magen Avraham- we want to delineate the levels of praise (see @RCW). [We need to start with some level of praise that we have mitzvos. If we would start praising Hashem that we are free or male, that doesn't mean we have mitzvos. We would have to begin by praising Hashem for "making me a Yisrael",] then you have included in that language that you are a free male and can no longer delineate. (Brackets added by me to explain MA) (O.C. 46:9)
Taz- if the brachos were said in a positive language, a person may erroneously think that gentiles or women are lower creations on the creation ladder (as in thank G-d I'm Jewish). By saying a blessing "that He did not make me...", he is saying that every category has a powerful purpose in the world and are necessary creations, but I bless Hashem for not creating me as one of the other necessary categories, since as a result I have a greater obligation in mitzvos. (O.C. 46:4)
One answer given is that we hold like Beis Shamai who said "better for man not to have been created", so we do not say a bracha for being created.
The basic Shevach, praise, of those blessings is praising Hashem for obligating us in the system of Mitzvot, commandments. We recognize there are different levels of obligation. We are appreciative that we have a greater level of obligation of commandments. A non-Jew is only obligated in seven mitzvot commanded to Noach. A slave and a woman are obligated in 613 mitzvot, but not in positive commandments that are time bound. (See Eitz Yosef quoting the Levush. He also explains the difference in obligations between women and slaves) By creating different blessings and expressing it in the negative it highlights each of the various categories of levels of obligation. Thus giving a greater praise to Hashem.

steel prices
SHANGHAI Chinas steel exports rose again last month as bookings went up following a price increase in October.
Export tonnages totaled 5.13 million tonnes, up nearly 6 percent from 4.84 million tonnes in October and 10.8 percent ahead of the monthly average of 4.63 million tonnes in the first 11 months of this year, according to preliminary Chinese customs data.
"Chinese steel export business improved as prices rose further in October, which led to higher export volumes in November," a trader in Zhejiang province told AMM sister publication Steel First.
Both domestic and export prices for cold-rolled coil have risen since October.
Chinas base export prices for cold-rolled coil range between $620 and $630 per tonne f.o.b., up an average of 2.9 percent from $605 to $610 per tonne a month earlier and an average of 4.2 percent higher than the $595- to $605-per-tonne range two months ago.
Domestic cold-rolled coil prices of 4,500 to 4,680 yuan ($722 to $751) per tonne are up an average of 1.4 percent from 4,470 to 4,580 yuan per tonne a month earlier and 2.2 percent ahead of 4,430 to 4,550 yuan per tonne two months ago.
The export market should be able to maintain its momentum in the short term, traders said, although they acknowledged that any further increase in Chinas steel exports will depend on international market prices.
The countrys steel exports totaled 50.9 million tonnes in the first 11 months of 2012, a 12.7-percent increase from the same period last year.
Exporters expect shipments to remain at a similar level or slightly higher in December, based on their transaction records.A version of this article was first published by AMM sister publication Steel First.

How to get here:
From SYDNEY: Stay on the Hume Freeway past the Mittagong/Bowral turnoff and continue approximately 24 km.
Take the Golden Vale Rd exit to Sutton Forest. The Golden Vale Rd sign comes up fast on your left at the end of the freeway (last of the three signs saying freeway ending). Continue along Golden Vale road for several km to a T intersection. Turn right towards Goulburn, drive past the Sutton Forest Pub for about 500 meters, then turn left at the Bundanoon sign.
DONT USE YOUR GPS HERE AS IT WILL TAKE YOU OVER A CAUSEWAY & A GRAVEL ROAD. Follow this road for approximately 12 kms to the end of the Bundanoon main street shops. The road does a dog leg turning at the Ye Old Bike shop (the train line is on your right). Turn right into Anzac Parade past the Fire and Police Stations.
Turn right over the Railway bridge and follow the Bundanoon Lodge B&B signs up to the Pub then turn left at the pub and past the Quest for Life sign on Elsmore Road. Elmswood Court comes up in the left and the Lodge is at the end of the drive way.
PLEASE PARK facing the lodge in the spaces provided.

Safety Harbor Pedestrian Killed By Vehicle, Beloved Pet Found
TAMPA, Fla (970 WFLA)- Pinellas deputies have found a missing miniature daschund named Rudi.
The dog belonged to 68 year old Gilbert Greene of Saftey Harbor, who was hit and killed by a truck Friday night as he walked across State Road 580 at North Bay Hills Boulevard.
Investigators say Green was holding Rudi in his arms when they were hit and the dog ran away after the incident. His master died at Mease Countryside Hospital.
Greene's wife, Brenda, has been reunited with Rudi.

Your Best Birth Control
Natural Family Planning
What it is: No hormones, no inserting. Track your monthly fertility cycle and abstain accordingly.
How it works: Chart your hormonal ebbs and flows using a basal body thermometer (more sensitive than the conventional kind), a calendar, and your own finger to test your cervical fluids. Slippery mucus indicates fertile days; the sticky kind probably means you're safe.
Caveats: This method requires obsessive record keeping, and if you can't tell sticky from slippery-or are too squeamish to try-forget it.
Failure rate: Between 2 and 9 percent with perfect use; more like 25 percent with typical use.
Cost: None.
How soon you can get pregnant: Immediately after stopping.
What it is: A sock-shaped dong-sheath that acts as a barrier against STDs and pregnancy. Latex or polyurethane are best-lambskin won't do a thing against HIV.
How it works: Unroll it over his erect penis, leave a little room at the tip, and let the condom catch his swimmers.
Caveats: You've got to get him to use one. Unless you're ready to go crib shopping, use a water-based lube; oil-based products break down latex fast.
Failure rate: 2 percent with perfect use; 15 percent with typical use. The biggest mistake couples make: not putting it on early enough.
Cost: About 50 cents each.
How soon you can get pregnant: Immediately after stopping.
What it is: FDA--approved last July, Implanon is a new, improved version of the old-school Norplant, which was yanked off the market several years ago, mainly because its six rods (yikes) were tough to insert and wear on a daily basis. Implanon consists of a single soft, flexible rod implanted under the skin of the upper arm, where it releases progestin.
How it works: The same way Depo-Provera does-though Implanon delivers a lower dose of progestin and can be left in place for three years. Insertion and removal are performed at a doctor's office under a local anesthetic.
Caveats: About 10 percent of women discontinued the rod because of irregular bleeding (the most common side effect). There's an increased risk of clots for smokers, and, as with the Pill, users might see acne, slight weight gain, and mood swings. If you're in that very small percentage, Implanon is a bit of a pain (literally) to remove. Yet doctors expect it to catch on-especially among those who can't use estrogen.
Failure rate: Reported at less than .1 percent; no long-term data yet available.
Cost: Device costs about $525. What you pay? No national average yet.
How soon you can get pregnant: Immediately after removal.

Yesterday we [a href="/fashion/archive/2012/10/30/fashion-blogger-navaz-batliwalla-of-disneyrollergirl-tells-us-her-winter-fashion.htm">interviewed Navaz[/a] to find out more about her blog, style inspiration and winter fashion rules and today we caught up with the two blogger-turned-models showcasing the collection, Marin Aelrid from [a href="http://olivecollar.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Olive Collar[/a] and Marin Daley-Hawkins from [a href="http://marinmonroe.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Marin Monroe[/a].

Aelrid Turner from Olive Collar
Grazia Daily: How long have you been blogging?
Aelrid: Four years.
Grazia Daily: What made you decide to start your blog?
Aelrid: I am very passionate about fashion, art and music. I also love to write. Starting my blog allowed me to combine all these things and express my opinions.
Grazia Daily: What's been your highlight so far?
Aelrid: My highlight would have to be getting to the final of the Grazia blogger of the year competition. Going to London Fashion Week was amazing and writing a report of a show really inspired me.
Grazia Daily: What are your favourite Winter 2012 trends?
Aelrid: Cobalt Blue, Oversize Coats and Leather.
Grazia Daily: Do you have any winter fashion rules?
Aelrid: I have to be warm. I like to make the most of the cold weather and layer up!
Grazia Daily: You're modelling in the eBay look book – what are your top tips for posing for photos?
Aelrid: I think if you are comfortable with how you look and feel confident in your outfit it helps hugely.
Grazia Daily: Where do you get your style inspiration?
Aelrid: Woody Allen's Films (Annie Hall and Manhattan). I love how the women dress in masculine clothes yet still look very sexy. I also love Alexa Chung's style and it has a huge influence on how I dress. I don't feel comfortable dressing in an overtly sexy way, I prefer to be a little more understated. I feel like these references help me do this.
Grazia Daily: Which was your favourite London Fashion Week SS13 show and why?
Aelrid: It would have to be the Mulberry Show. I loved the colour palette, oversize coats and the use of leather.
Grazia Daily: Which brands do you rely on?
Aelrid: Cos and Urban Outfitters.
Grazia Daily: What are your top tips for shopping on a budget?
Aelrid: I shop in charity shops a lot and I think it is the best way to find unique pieces very cheaply.
Grazia Daily: Which other fashion blogs do you love?
Aelrid: [a href="http://carolinesmode.com/stockholmstreetstyle/" target="_blank">Stockholm Street Style[/a] and [a href="http://www.calivintage.com/" target="_blank">Calivintage[/a].
Marin Daley-Hawkins from Marin Monroe
Grazia Daily: How long have you been blogging?
Marin: Since 2009.
Grazia Daily: What made you decide to start your blog?
Marin: I always wanted to be a journalist, and I needed a place to publish some of my writing, so I could make contacts.
Grazia Daily: What's been your highlight so far?
Marin: Being listed as 'influential' by the Independent and having my photo in Japanese Vogue's event pages just below Anna Wintour. It's crazy.
Grazia Daily: What are your favourite Winter 2012 trends?
Marin: Gothic!
Grazia Daily: Do you have any winter fashion rules?
Marin: Wear two pairs of tights under your favourite dresses and skirts.
Grazia Daily: You're modelling in the eBay look book – what are your top tips for posing for photos?
Marin: If you look down and then up quickly before the shot is taken you'll look brighter-eyed, and for profile shots: putting your tongue against the roof of your mouth stops a 'faux double chin' forming!
Grazia Daily: Where do you get your style inspiration?
Marin: From fashion editorials.
Grazia Daily: Which was your favourite London Fashion Week SS13 show and why?
Marin: I loved the Louise Gray show. It was really refreshing to see such a playful offering among a lot of very commercial collections.
Grazia Daily: Which brands do you rely on?
Marin: Vero Moda and Qulit (not quilt!) make some great leather pieces and I don't know what I'd do without my t-shirts by Mercy & Wild and IAmVibes. If I have something dressy to go to I'll definitely try and wear a creation by Tarang Bharti.
Grazia Daily: What are your top tips for shopping on a budget?
Marin: Charity shops in affluent areas often have lots of designer finds, the Oxfam in Hampstead even separates 'labels' out for you! Designer outlets are also a woman's best friend, and sites like eBay are great for finding one-offs and high-street brands for a fraction of the price
Grazia Daily: Which other fashion blogs do you love?
Marin: I love [a href="http://www.abimarvel.com/" target="_blank">Abimarvel[/a], [a href="http://www.shinythoughts.net/" target="_blank">Shiny Thoughts[/a], [a href="http://www.modedamour.com/" target="_blank">Mode D'Amour[/a] and [a href="http://www.ldnfashion.com/" target="_blank">LDNfashion[/a] who I still contribute to sometimes!

- Great drawings, wish there were more. Review by Ivan
The drawings are clear and accurate. The author purposely does not dimension every piece of wood, leaving it up to the woodworker to work out from the given information so that you understand the components of the furniture you are trying to make. A good book for those trying to recreate the furniture or just seeking inspiration for the next project. I just wish there were more pieces featured and more photographs!

Tacoma Roofing Repair Tips
When should I call a roofing contractor for repairs?
Give your local Tacoma-based roofing contractor a call if your roof shows:
- Ceiling or wall water stains
- Roof or ceiling sagging
- Ice dams during colder months (large buildup of ice on gutters, with large icicles)
- Water pooling on the roof
- Excessive mold/algae/moss growth on roof may be a signal water is trapped beneath the outer layer of roofing material
- Condensation in your attic just below the roofing structure
What's the cost of minor repair work on a shingle roof?
Shingle roofs aren't quite as durable as tile, metal or rubber roofing. That said, shingle roof repairs are usually less expensive than fixing other roof systems. Shingles are readily available, inexpensive and easy to install.
To give a ballpark figure -- let's say you have a 25 square foot (5 ft. by 5 ft.) section of shingle roof damaged in a wind storm. The cost of replacing the damaged shingles would typically range $200 to $400, depending upon where you live and the type of shingles used.

True Boho Chic
Sienna Miller has a lot to answer for. Not only did she enrage every female in England by snapping up Jude Law the second he became a free agent, but she has a lot to do with the boho obsession that seems to be sweeping the country this summer. Love it or hate it, it looks like boho / bejewelled fashion is here to stay a little while longer, if in a slightly more understated manner. I suppose that's okay, if these beautiful but devastatingly expensive Guiseppe Zanotti sandals ($525) are anything to go by. Still doesn't mean I forgive her for nabbing Jude Law, though…[Toni Stokes]

"My wife thinks I'm a genius..."
...and other great things we've done for our customers
E-Mail: Subject: "Exceeded my expectations" December 14, 2007
Just want to drop you guys a note to let you know I just purchased a corn/pellet stove.
In short, the stove has exceeded my expectations. I installed it in the basement of our home, and not
only does it easily warm the basement, but it also is capable of heating the whole house -
that's a total of 3,100 square feet! Thanks and keep up the great work!
I've been using the wood furnace for about 4 years now and have been very happy with it.
I have a 1,600 sq. ft. rancher and it heats it really well...It has been an iron horse
ever since it was put into use. The firebricks are still original and in good condition.
In the coldest of winters it only consumes about 4 cords of wood to keep my house a
consistent 70 to 72 degrees...I even bought one for my friend who lives in
upstate PA and he loves it. Thanks for a great product.
I just wanted to tell you that I am very happy with your stove and the service I've gotten from your
company in the past years...I won't own any other stove .
Handwritten Note - December 2007
Thank you so much for your professional & very courteous help.
Thank you for the prompt answer, I have decided to purchase the stove, in part, because of the
reputation for service. I hope I don't have to use it but it is nice to know it is there.
A note to say thanks...Am happy to have our stove up and running again.
Dec. 3, 2007: We have recently purchased one of your add-on furnaces and love it.
With the oil prices and 25 acres of free wood it is really a blessing for us. I had just one question...
Sometimes, living in the rural area we lose electricity, sometimes only for a short time and sometimes
for days. Is this model okay to run if the power goes out?...
Dec. 3, Our Response: You can run this model without the blower.
Dec. 3: Thank you for your prompt response...we really appreciate your product and would recommend
it to anyone. (The stoves) are well-built and made with the do-it-yourself homeowner in mind,
which is getting harder and harder to find anymore. A good product at a reasonable price.
Thank you.
A friend of mine just purchased your Pellet Utility Furnace.
I have a <competitor's brand pellet furnace>. The construction of
your product is far superior. The welding work on my <competitor's stove> flat-out <stinks>.
...The hardware, hinges, etc. <of your stove> look to be of a higher quality.
I'm so impressed with your product that I am going to try to sell my used <competitor's stove>
in the spring and replace it with you Pellet Utility Furnace...
...Thanks again for your terrific customer support!
Thank you for a great stove. Keeps us warm, works great.

My name is K.M., I purchased one of your stoves in Nov. of '05 and we love it. When we encountered a problem...I called your company and was not sure if I filled out warranty info. and sent it in, but your staff was most helpful and courteous in getting that info. taken care of, and getting me the parts I needed to get the stove up and running again.
I received the parts in two days and, in following your superb video, I was able to take apart and put the stove together again in less than an hour. Thank you for being the company that you are; if all businesses were like you, then we would all be better off. Again we thank you.
Wanted to let you know how great your stoves are. We live in a mobile home and the conversion kits was easy, installed in a short time and turned it on. Keeps the home nice and warm - we save lots on the electricity bills.
My stove (I purchased it new) is entering its 24th year. You guys make a heck of a stove; I heat my house (3,100 sq. ft.) with this stove. Thanks,
After selling your stoves for 5 1/2 years, I finally bought one; the 50-SNC13I (or 13-NCI, or 50-TNC13I) wood insert. It's great. Thanks for building a quality stove.
I just wanted to let you know that my 30-NC is up and running, and keeping us warm in Nokesville. Thanks to all of you for a nice stove and the help you gave me getting it installed.
Hi, I heat my home and my cabin with woodstoves, and have done so for many years. Recently, I bought a 30-NC (or 50-SNC30, or 50-TNC30) from [a DIY store] for my cabin, and it has been just what I was looking for. Next to it is a brand new [different brand] stove ... and I do mean next to it, because I haven't gotten anyone to move them out yet.The good thing is that I can get a fire to burn for seven-plus hours without much fuss, and that is what I wanted in the first place. I am sure I will be buying another stove or two from you in the future. Tell your people they did a nice job.
I've had one of your stoves for 20+ years (bought new), and another that I bought used. I have heated with them for years. If you have a ballcap, I'll wear it to promote your stoves...I love your stoves!
Our new pellet stove was the best investment we've made in a long time. We are completely satisfied with its performance so far, and we're telling everyone we know about England's Stove Works. Thank you!
I have just started using this [25-PDVC / 55-SHP10 / 55-TRP10] pellet stove, but I must say I'm very pleased with the performance of it so far. I believe it will keep my family nice & warm this winter, and save me a lot of money on my heating costs, as well. Thank you for making an excellent product.
...Englander gets an A+++ from me...Thank you,
We really like the [pellet] stove a lot. It truly does the job we were looking for. I would highly recommend your product to other people. Thank you.
Very good service and well taken care of. The staff and management answer all questions, and were very helpful and courteous.
I just wanted to let you folks know that about three years ago, I purchased a Add-On Furnace [model 28-3500, or 50-SHW35, or 50-TRW35] from [a DIY store], and I must say that it performs - and is constructed - extremely well. Keep up the good work, and thank you for producing a product that not only works so well, but one that will provide many years of service.
Thank you so much for the awesome pellet stove, and having them at [a DIY store] in Fairbanks, Alaska. You make a great stove. Respectfully,
Just wanted to let you know how much I love this product! I got this 26-GU (60-SHU, or 60-TRU) two years ago, and tonight I got it installed (been remodeling my home for the last five years). This really sets off my living room - love it - I wanted to thank you for making this unit.
Love my new stove!!! Your Tech. Support was a great help with the install. Your DVD was a great tool - Thank you.
