Replacement Wipers?
I bought what I thought were standard replacement wiper blades for 2006 Jetta (typcial sef repair thing) only to find that the wiper arm seems to be unique - not your typical replacement blade "hook". So, do Wiper Blades have to come from VW Service and Parts?
bpeebles Posts: 4,085
To specifically answer your question -- NO!
To elaborate - A 'replacement' wiper-blade usually comes with an 'adapter' in the package. This adapter allows the replacement blade to work on the 3 different types of wiper-arms (Asian, German, and American)
Right out of the box, the replacement blade is configured for one of the three. An 'adaptor' should be used to attach to other vehicles.

Sometimes the adapter is "built-in" and you have to rotate it or otherwise manipulate it to get it to fit your car. It's not always something loose in the package in other words. When I first got my used Subaru and needed new wipers, the woman at the NAPA parts counter offered to put them on and that made it real easy.

So i recently made a batch of 45% milk chocolate. The problem is that most people who tasted it said it had a raw(ish) milk taste to it, which they didn't like.
That got me thinking if could i possibly roast the milk powder or maybe cook it in a little cocoa butter.
any suggestions??
Views: 1213
Hi There,
milk powder is already "cooked".. is made either by "rolling" milk into a big heated cylinder and then scraped off, or by spraying milk into a hot chamber to vaporize the water.
The differences between milk powders are generally : Fat content (use a 20%), what kind of cows, season, area of growth (fed with green grass, hay or whatever) ,production system.
What system of making chocolate you do use, what temperature, how do you grind/insert the milk powder to the chocolate and mailny what quality of milk you are using will affect the final taste of your product.
Do not compare to swiss milk chocolate (unless you live there), their cows make a very mild milk, and they add malt to the milk powder....
If you cook the milk powder in cocoa butter you will end up with caramel...... then we are in a different game...
Thanks for the knowledge Antonino
I live in India so my chocolate wasnt being compared to swiss chocolate..
i use nestle "everyday" brand of milk powder which is 18% fat content..
the reason i thought about cooking the powder was because i read about milk crumb which adds a cooked/caramel flavour to chocolate
i am a newbie using a stone wet grinder(santha) to refine and conch. i dont know what temperature the chocolate reaches in it.. but will now try to find a good ir thermometer to measure it..
i like thinking out of the box so do you think its possible to cook/caramalise the milk powder in cocoa butter or will that release moisture which will cause the chocolate to seize.
Chirag, nice to hear from milk chocolate makers worldwide.
You can try to get some caramelized flavor by substituting the milk fat in whole milk powder with Ghee. Take whole milk powder by weight (100%) and substitute with 72% skim milk powder and 28% ghee. Make sure that it has no traces of moisture by heating it above the water's boiling point.
I am one of those who believe smaller bean-to-bar chocolate makers are in debt to Indian cousine forever based on the quality of wet grinder engineering.
Store brand milk powders in India are often fortified with additional calories by adding vegetable fats to them. Often times those fats are susceptible to oxidative randicity. Might want to check your supply to see if that's causing the off flavor.
And a note, cooking milk powder in cocoa butter will likely only increase the off flavor. In order get generate the caramel flavors, you need 3 things: protein, reducing sugar, and water. Cooking in cocoa butter means you wont have the latter, and lots of heat, generally speaking, does bad things to the flavor of fats.
Thanks Felipe will try using ghee.. sounds like an interesting idea.
Thanks Sebastian that makes sense.
hi chirag,
instead of 'everyday' you can try 'nova whole milk powder' that works better. before you are mixing milk powder you must taste it to ensure that it is not salty. because some baches of milk powder tends to be salty. every day is a dairy whitener not milk powder.it contains added sugar also. for any other clarification you can write to me at email@example.com.
Hi Chirag,
Milk powder contains a chemical called hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). H2O2 is an oxidizing,bleaching and germicidal agent used to preserve milk. The percentage of peroxide in milk powder can vary from one brand to another and because its presence in milk affects the taste, it might be the challenge you are facing with your chocolate today.
Attached is a study made on hydrogen peroxide and milk powder. On page 427 You can find a detailed description on the effects of H2O2 on the taste of milk powder.
hope this helps..
Thank You Omar will have a look..
Interesting document - i've never seen this actually practiced in western milk plants, nor in New Zealand. Is this common practice in India? Looks like it's an early 60's publication.. i didn't read nearly the whole thing (only 1 page) so i'm certain i've missed context - i'm wondering if it might have been historical practice?
I would say that I'm *completely* unconcerned with H202 levels in modern chocolate processing....
Hi Sebastian,
With my experience, H2O2 is still used in processing milk powder at least for warm climate countries like here in the middle east (Im assuming india as well) Every batch we receive from our supplier gets tested for percentage of peroxide making sure it does not excees 0.04%. When it does exceed, the taste gets affected leaving a slight old cheese after taste..I wish I know how to better describe it. So, to answer your question, peroxide is still in business.
I think it is what we are still practising in india. Because when i use some batches of milk powder despite the brand some times it taste aweful , when i asked my supplier he told that it is because of the preservative . so before i am purchasing milk powder i always taste it to make sure that, the batch is good. ( I am not a techinical person to do the lab test). sebastian you are wondering if it was some historical practice , if you know that some of our most modern technologys are that, west practiced it some 200 years before,then how much you wonder about..??
sebatian, i like to read your postings and replys, with thorough knowledge and sceince
omar, the information you given is very useful , thank you.
Interesting stuff guys - thanks. The notion of H202 as a preservative in a highly oxidative susceptibility product such as milk powder is strange to me at first blush, given that H202 is SUCH a strong oxidizer. Certainly it's an effective microbiological suppressant, but it'll absolutely destroy the flavor of the fat in the milk. There are much, much better ways to protect quality than the use of this. My guess - it's the cheap option!
Ramya - many modern chocolate factories are still using stone grinders, which are quite effective - so just because something's old doesn't mean it's not useful 8-) For something like H2O2 in milk it surprises me as there are much more effective ways to do the same thing, w/o making it taste bad.

When there has been no agreement on the form of government, state restructuring and other issues, President Ram Baran Yadav met UCPN (M) chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Nepali Congress president Sushil Koirala, and UML chairperson Jhala Nath Khanal at his residence Shital Niwas. In the meeting, the President asked the leaders to conclude the outstanding issues within March 13, 2012. He urged the leaders to give special emphasis on the peace process.
After persistent pressure from the main opposition parties Nepali Congress and UML, the government backed down on its decision to legalise conflict-era land transactions carried out by the Maoist people's government. The meeting of the Council of Ministers on February 9 reversed the decision of January 12, 2011 by 'the decision will not stand and not be implemented'.
The State Restructuring Commission (SRC) could not come up with a consensus report. In the absence of agreement on disputed issues, the members divided into majority and minority groups. The Coordinator Madan Pariyar, Stella Tamang, Malla K Sundar, Bhogendra Jha, Krishna Hachhethu, and Surendra Mahato were in one camp and Ramesh Dhungel, Sabitri Gurung, and Sarbaraj Khadka were in the other camp. The majority report submitted to prime minister Baburam Bhattarai included the dissentions by the minority group, but minority group submitted a separate report to the prime minister.
Prime minister Baburam Bhattarai made attempts to hold dialogue with Congress and UML who had not sat down for talks after the government did not withdraw the decision of the Council of Ministers. When there was no possibility of three-party talks, prime minister Bhattarai, UCPN (M) chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Congress vice-president Ram Chandra Paudel, and UML senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal met on the sidelines of the meeting of the Constitutional Committee at Singha Durbar. In the meeting, Prime Minister Bhattarai expressed commitment not to implement the government decision to legalise the land transactions carried out by the Maoist people's government during the conflict. He asked them to sit for talks to take the peace and constitution-drafting process forward. Congress leader Paudel stated the condition for talks would be the withdrawal of the government decision.
After the prime minister Baburam Bhattarai called a meeting to discuss the stalled peace and constitution-drafting process among Nepali Congress, UML, and UDMF, the leaders reached the Peace and Reconstruction Ministry at Singha Durbar. When the leaders came to know of decision of the Council of Ministers to legalise the decisions of the Maoist people's government during the conflict period regarding land transactions and deeds, the enraged Congress and UML leaders asked the prime minister and UCPN (M) to clarify the decision.
As there was no progress on the peace and constitution-drafting process, Congress, UML and other 16 political parties not in the governing coalition and UCPN (M) appeared in opposing corners. The opposition parties concluded that 'the Maoists had backed down from the peace and constitution-drafting process' and 'peace process is obstructed because the government and UCPN (M) is not sincere towards implementing past agreements'. It was their decision that they would urge UCPN (M) to fully implement the past agreements. The 16 parties expressed their suspicion because of obstruction in the combatant integration and rehabilitation, and attempts to reverse the agreements reached in the sub-committee for dispute resolution.
There was an agreement in principle in the sub-committee for dispute resolution on directly elected president and prime minister elected from the parliament. There was also an agreement to outline the authorities of the president and prime minister in the constitution. Talking to journalists after the meeting of the sub-committee for dispute resolution on December 30, 2011, Prakash Man Singh said that there was agreement in principle in all outstanding issues except and state restructuring and on which further discussions were necessary.

Fort Mill, SC - May 30, 2012. Team GT travels to Ensenada, Mexico this week for the 44th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 and veteran driver Rick D. Johnson is leading the charge. With five class (Trophy Truck) wins to his credit, Johnson wants to make it an even six-pack this week when he pilots the No. 71 General Tire Ford F-150 over 450-miles of rugged terrain that is sure to test even the most experienced of drivers. Johnson will compete against more than 250 drivers from 34 states and 15 countries and the competition is as tough as it's ever been.
For the past three years Johnson has posted a top-10 finish in the overall including a second-place in 2009. For this year's race, Johnson has recruited fellow Team GT member Mikey Childress to help co-pilot the No. 71. The depth of experience between these two drivers runs deep and the duo are expected to be a top-contender as they make the famous loop that starts and finishes in Ensenada. We talked to Johnson before he left to pre-run the 450-mile trek and here's what he had to say:
Q: Are you familiar with this year's Baja 500 course? Have you raced it before?
A: Very familiar. Ninety-five percent of the course has been the same trails for the last four Baja 500's.
Q: What are some of the challenges of the course that lie ahead?
A: Starting as deep as we are in the field by missing the San Felipe 250, we are not included in the top-12 starting positions. Passing is going to very difficult but I know we have a strong Ford F-150 and great Generals that will help us with the task.
Q: How much does the Baja 500 help you prepare for the 1000?
A: We are here to win but our secondary goal is to finish in the top 12 in the Trophy Truck class to get a top starting position for the Baja 1000.
Q: We hear Mikey Childress will be there with you. What role will he play and how big of an asset is his experience?
A: Mikey will bring his Baja winning experience from the Pro Bike class to help navigate the torturous Baja terrain. I'm really excited to have him on-board for this race.
Q: How do you prepare the vehicle and yourself for 500 miles in the Baja desert?
A: Preparing the General Tire Team71 Trophy Truck takes enormous resources and a huge team effort to prepare for this race. As far as preparing myself, it's eating right, hitting the treadmill five times a week, and getting hydrated a week before the race starts.
Q: How would you describe the race to a new fan that had never been there or watched the race?
A: The first thing that people notice is that the start of the race starts in downtown Ensenada on the main street. We then race up to the mountain tops outside of town down to an enormous dry lake bed over to the Pacific side of the country where we race along the beach back to Ensenada. The temperature will range from the forty's in the mountains to 120 on the dry lake bed. There are a lot of extremes throughout the course of this 450-mile race.

Thank you for your comment. The style is slightly different to the 11th century styles and importantly it is much too small (only 2.5cm across) and fragile for use as a horse harness or cheek piece. As a link, it would only be suitable for much more delicate items such as jewellery. The flat back and rounded front suggests it is designed to fit flat against something, hence the suggestion as a mount. More complete examples of 11th century fittings such as IOW-51E2C5 or SUR-00F341 show the characteristic bevelled backs to the end loops, central expansion and generally a greater size and robustness.

It is possible that this is not in fact a Colchester one-piece (note the moulding of a returned foot comparable to La Tene II brooches, and the absence of the expected forward-facing hook which typefies one-piece Colchesters). It is certainly an interesting piece. The closest parallel I can find is no. 10095 in Mackreth 2010 (though Mackreth's example shows transverse mouldings on the 'collar' where the retuned foot meets the bow). This is identified as a 'South Western La Tene series' - quite a diverse group, not in fact confined to the South West. All dated examples are securely pre-conquest (3rd century BC to AD 50 at the latest, with the latter coming from Iron Age occupation levels at Hod Hill).
About: Brooch NCL-22C1F1

This scale is in fact damaged at the top as well as the bottom- the two holes should be closed; scales were stitched to a sub-garment of linen so required at least two enclosed holes at the top. Moreover, it's not a typical 1st century CE or later Roman scale- Roman scales, perhaps uniquely, had lateral connections to adjacent scales either by the use of small wire rings or small flat metal strip 'staples'; this un-linked form is more reminiscent of Hellenistic or eastern peoples' scales, which were sewn loose to the sub-garment. The midrib is also quite uncommon and not known on any clearly Roman scale- Robinson suggests there were examples known, but apparently he was mistaken; and a very different form of scale with a rib is known from Masada, but it is doubtful to be of Roman origin. I would suggest perhaps this scale belonged to an Auxiliary soldier who used his own local armour- that would explain the style and design difference. Also the reference from Newstead mentioned is incorrect- what is shown there is an example of the Lorica plumata (also called the Lorica hamata squamataque), which is very different- the scales are tiny, and have a 90-degree bend at the top with 4 holes punched in it for attaching it to for mail rings) The ribs are coined in, not simply punched into the obverse as this scale does.

I have just found a similar ring and wondered if the description is slightly in error - no photograph to view. The ring I have found has 7 strands of wire per braid and there are 3 apparent braids plaited together forming the ring. However, close examination shows that the entire ring is formed from a single piece of wire which has been "woven" in a very complex way to produce the plaited braid appearance. Diameter, 14 mm internal, convex cross-section, material appears to be silver wire of 0.6 mm diameter (approx). Report to FLO at next opportunity.

Andrés Cárdenes, has achieved international acclaim for his compelling live and recorded performances as a solo violinist, conductors, violist, chamber musicians and concertmaster. Since capturing Second Prize in the 1982 Tchaikovsky International Violin Competition, he has appeared as soloist with over 100 orchestras. A consummate musician, powerful presence and master programmer, his compelling performances have attracted broad audiences, offering a vast array of aural experiences through innovative programming of diverse genres. In 1999, the Pittsburgh Symphony Chamber Orchestra was created for Mr. Cárdenes to highlight his multiple talents as conductor, violinist, violist and leader.
Inspired and mentored by Leonard Bernstein, she has devoted her performing career to nurturing new audiences and deepening the musical experience for seasoned concertgoers. Her programs with major orchestras and festivals in the United States and Europe have drawn international acclaim for their popular appeal and innovative approach. Since 2010 she has spearheaded innovative projects for the Pittsburgh Symphony and was recently appointed Director of Music Entrepreneurship Studies at Carnegie Mellon University.
Jim Bronner, Strings board member, said, "Andrés and Monique have made amazing contributions to the growth of the Strings Music Festival as Co-Music Directors, as talented artists, and, in Andrés' case, as a conductor, and for all that we owe them a debt of gratitude. As they conclude their run as Music Directors during the 2014 season, my hope is that they will continue to return to the festival as performers for many years to come."
"We are indebted to Andrés and Monique for attracting musicians of the highest caliber to the Strings Music Festival and for inaugurating orchestral programming on our new stage. Their tenure in Steamboat has left an indelible mark on the arts in our community," said board member Leslie Dorman.
Strings Music Festival's new Music Director will be announced soon.

Jon Irabagon Group featuring Victor Lewis
The Kennedy Center and the Monk Institute present the winner of the 2008 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition, Jon Irabagon, as part of the Institute's ongoing partnership with the Center. For his KC Jazz Club concerts, he is joined by drummer Victor Lewis, pianist Frank Kimbrough, and bassist Peter Brendler.
During the Monk Competition, the 2006 alumnus of the Kennedy Center's Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead program exhibited "a stunningly confident use of the complete range of alto saxophone styles" (JazzTimes). Irabagon has performed extensively as both a sideman and as a leader in an ever-expanding range of projects, including his quintet Outright! (Innova), his unapologetic 80s cover band Starship's Journey, his Sonny Rollins Tribute Trio, the straight-ahead modern jazz group Confluence (For the Artist Records) that he co-leads with fellow Manhattan School of Music graduates, the freely-improvising RIDD Quartet (Clean Feed), and bebop band Mostly Other People do the Killing (Hot Cup).

Clark School Welcomes Corporate Partners for Summit
Corporate partners, faculty, and student leaders gathered this January for the University of Maryland Clark School of Engineering's Corporate Partner Summit.
The event offered a special opportunity for Clark School corporate partners, students, and faculty to connect over their shared achievements, goals, and future opportunities. More than 110 people, including corporate representatives from 17 companies, were in attendance.
Guest speakers highlighted key initiatives and benefits of membership in the Corporate Partners Program. Chris Carlson, Senior Manager of University Recruiting at Booz Allen Hamilton, discussed recruitment opportunities and the positive experience the company has had working with Clark School students, and Art Morrish, VP and CTO of the Products Group at L-3 Communications noted the company's strong research relationship with the school.
Civil engineering student Craig Lampmann and his concrete canoe teammates received close mentorship from Structural, and Lampmann said the company's involvement significantly improved the team's competition performance.
Following the luncheon program, student leaders presented posters to showcase clubs, competition teams, and student organizations, many of which are currently supported by corporate partners or may be in the future.
Corporate representatives walked away from the event with several student resumes for job and internship consideration, and an energized outlook. Jim Cantor of Leidos said of the Clark School, "The future is here."

Search the camping and caravanning website
You are here: Home > UK Campsites

> Camping with kids
Schools are out and now is the perfect opportunity to have time out with your family on a camping holiday. Your children will love messing about in mother's nature's playground and making new friends. We thought we'd give you a helping hand by listing the top 5 things to tick off of your kids' lists and the best 3 Club Sites you can do these at.
Using their imagination to construct dens, the freedom to have an adventure climbing trees and making rope swings; to build impressive sandcastles, catch a fish or crab and go on a long family bike ride. You can relive your childhood through your children's eyes and experience the same sense of adventure camping with the kids brings. And what's more, all of these simple pleasures have little or no cost but will give you a lifetime of priceless memories.
Plus, you can print off the Activity Treasure Hunt and see how many natural treasures your children can find on and around our campsites.
Learn about the natural world around you at the same time as building a secret den. Using the natural material around without cut anything down, or causing any damage your children will have hours of enjoyment.
These campsites are the ideal location for building your den:
Have fun with new camping friends by playing off the ground tig. The game involves one or more players chasing other players in an attempt to tig or touch them with their hand when they are running on the ground. If caught, then they are the next person to chase the others.
These campsites are perfect for playing off the ground tig:
Take the bucket and spades down to the beach and make the most impressive castle you can. Decorate with seashells and pebbles and don't forget to have a moat around your castle.
Take your fishing net and when the tide is out go rock pooling. Stand quietly whilst discovering the many fish, molluscs and plants that live in the sea but remember do not touch as they can sting, bite or pinch.
Be by the beach at these campsites, the best setting for rockpooling and making sandcastles:
All that is needed is fishing net or a piece of string, bait and a weight heavy (enough to keep the bait of the bottom). Dip the net slowly or drop the line drop into the sea. Wrap a little of the line loosely around your hand and wait until you feel the crab pulling or fish is caught. Again, remember crabs can pinch, so hold by the shell and handle with care.
Take a camping trip to a prime spot for catching a fish:
The whole family will enjoy going on an adventurous cycle ride. Riding your bike is a great way to see the beautiful countryside as well as getting active by burning off all that excess energy. All of our Club Sites have information on the nearby cycle routes and trails for you to make the most of your time away.
Ride your bike around these campsites:
That's just the start of it, be sure to be a part of our fantastic photo competition where you can win a whole host of family prizes to make your outdoors adventure even more exciting. Find out more by clicking on the link below... We can't wait to share in your summer fun!

Thanks to Instagram and Facebook, "selife" was named Oxford's word of the year for 2013. But is Selfie really a good name for a TV show?

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan star as the new Doctor and his companion in an all-new series of Doctor Who coming to DVD and Blu-ray. After his explosive regeneration, the Eleventh Doctor awakes to discover his TARDIS is about to crash! After falling from the sky, he pulls himself out of the wreckage to come face-to-face with young Amy Pond. The Doctor promises to take Amy to the stars. But first they must divert an alien plot that could destroy the Earth. The Doctor makes good his promise, and Amy boards the regenerated TARDIS, ready to take to the stars on a series of wild adventures that will change her life. As always, wherever the Doctor goes, his oldest enemies, the Daleks, are never far behind. They are hatching a new master plan from the heart of war-torn London in the 1940s. But they are not the only strange creatures the Doctor and Amy must face ? there are also alien vampires, humanoid reptiles, the Weeping Angels, and a silent menace that follows Amy and the Doctor around wherever they go.

Who knew? Few could have foreseen the enduring success of Doctor Who given its inauspicious origins a half-century ago — a fascinating story of pluck, luck and imagination delightfully rendered in An Adventure in Space and Time, a new TV movie (Friday, 9/8c) airing as part of BBC America's 50th-anniversary Who celebration this weekend.
You don't have to be a Whovian to appreciate this jaunty re-creation of a simpler, scrappier time in TV history. A "year-ometer" (cute touch) dials back to 1963, when the staid BBC's brash new head of drama, Canadian showman Sydney Newman (a marvelously uncouth Brian Cox), greenlights a new sci-fi serial to appeal to kids and fickle sports fans. With a miniscule budget, an overheated "broom cupboard" of a studio and an edict of "no tin robots or BEM (bug-eyed monsters)," Newman appoints an unorthodox team to realize his vision: Verity Lambert (Call the Midwife's Jessica Raine), an ambitious pioneering female producer, and Waris Hussein (Sacha Dhawan), a novice Indian director.
With her floppy hat and flapping gums, Jackie "Moms" Mabley is mostly remembered these days for her outrageous appearances on late-'60s and '70s-era variety and talk shows, as mainstream as Ed Sullivan and as of-the-moment as the Smothers Brothers, performing racy and politically barbed stand-up routines whose sting was couched in a dirty-old-lady's guise.
Among those influenced by Mabley was Whoopi Goldberg, who performed an homage to the comedian early in her own career. In the HBO documentary Whoopi Goldberg Presents Moms Mabley (Monday, 9/8c), the View personality directs and participates in this tribute to the pioneering comic's life and legacy, with TV clips and audio excerpts (enhanced with crude animation) from her many comedy albums, which hold up surprisingly well.

In Sunday's brilliantly entertaining finale to another splendid season of CBS' The Good Wife — we choose to forget that Kalinda's ex ever existed — Denis O'Hare returns as a judge whose sciatica keeps him off the bench, pacing around the courtroom as he presides over a late-night emergency hearing over ballot-box irregularities in the next day's neck-and-neck election for Illinois governor. (Alicia's husband Peter is sweating every single vote.) Like Judge Abernathy, you may find it difficult to stay seated as this episode (9/8c), written by series creators Robert King (who also directed) and Michelle King, takes its many clever twists and turns, specializing in mischievous misdirection and game-changing surprises up to the very last jaw-dropping minute.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Is your dd's reconstruction tomorrow? Not sure what day this week it was to be....anyway I wanted to tell you that I'm sending P&PT for your dd that the procedure goes well and that her recovery is as quick as the doctor told her it would be.
|Tue, 07-01-2014 - 7:01pm
Adding My P &PT for tomorrow, 'nester. Let us know how everything went, & how she is doing, please.
|Wed, 07-02-2014 - 8:51pm
DD1 surgery, what DD3 refers to as her "boob job and liprosuction" went well. About two hours and surgery and then another two in recovery. She was pretty alert and not in much pain when we left the hospital about 1:00. About 6:00 she sent is a text to say she had slept all afternoon and was now awake and having no pain. So so far it looks like her recoevery will be much easier than last time.
The surgeon said that it went extremely well. Could not hope for a better result. He would put her in the top 5% of his cases. Just like last time when he credited the other surgeon for making his job easier, today he had good things to say about the doctor who did her radiation making his job easier. Not as much damage as he was expecting.
|Wed, 07-02-2014 - 9:10pm
I was just coming here to ask how it went.
THAT is good news-let her know we are thinking of her & wishing her the best!
|Thu, 07-03-2014 - 4:25pm
Can't hope for a better outcome is what you want to hear. Hooray. And tell your dd3 that a "boob job and liposuction" that INSURANCE pays for is a very good thing indeed.

The sheet piles that form the exterior wall of the new Third Wave Kiosk were used along the Murray River during the devastating 2010-2011 Victorian floods. Now, in their new life, they serve an entirely different purpose — providing refreshments to sun-drenched beach-goers. Instead of painting or refinishing them, Tony Hobba Architects left the sheet piles in their original weathered condition, which lends the new kiosk a raw, rustic look.
"Third Wave" refers to a movement to elevate coffee to a gourmet beverage (like fine wine), and the new kiosk will focus on selling very high-quality coffee. The 215-square-foot structure is both elegant and simple, and the irregular folded pattern in the facade — a structural component that is typical of sheet piles — provides visual interest. Building the structure from recycled materials helped to cut down on the waste produced by the new kiosk, and it also kept costs down. The small building is large enough to fit 1-3 employees at a time. The kiosk, which opened in November 2011, provides a new public space where beach visitors can meet and enjoy the nearby alfresco seating area.

The entire city of Nagasaki is evacuated and the JSDF moves in after a live nuclear bomb is found planted in the city, presumably by Dejima militants. Section 9 arrives to defuse the bomb and determine its precise origins.
Kuze escapes and Section 9 suffers heavy damages from the confrontation; Kuze leaves for Nagasaki harbor with the Russian package.
After being ambushed by Kuze's followers at a false location, Section 9 is alerted to his true location, and his intentions of purchasing nuclear materials from the Russian mafia.The Cabinet Intelligence Service and Gohda are involved behind the scenes.
While tensions rise in the Dejima refugee camp, the Major hacks the refugee cyberbrain hub to determine Kuze's location.
Batou and the Major are sent to Berlin in an international effort to help track down the terrorist Angel's Wing.

San Francisco Bay area based BitGo has become both the first wallet provider and the first U.S. based Sponsor of Bitcoin Bigfoot and the Plan ฿ brochure! Hopefully they are the first of many U.S. based bitcoin companies to see the value in supporting Bitcoin Bigfoot's goal to empower bitcoin activists to spread bitcoin adoption, and make 2014 the Year of Adoption. Will O'Brien, CEO and co-founder of BitGo, endorsed Bitcoin Bigfoot by stating, "At this stage, it's really important to give people simple steps to start using Bitcoin. Bitcoin Bigfoot does just that" and on BitGo's inclusion in the Plan ฿ brochure "We are proud to support Bitcoin Bigfoot in creating more awareness of Bitcoin through this campaign".
BitGo offers a selection of services that work together to protect your bitcoin holdings and financial future. Its flagship offering is the BitGo Secure Wallet. BitGo's patent-pending multi-signature technology issues three keys, two of which are necessary to conduct any transaction. One is held by BitGo, one is held by you, and the third is held by a third-party you trust, or offline on a usb stick or paper wallet. If any one key is compromised your bitcoin wallet is still secure, rendering it virtually hack proof. And since BitGo only holds one key, they cannot access your wallet. For more technical details you can read the white paper authored by BitGo CTO and co-founder Mike Belshe. BitGo also provides a suite of B2B and B2C services for bitcoin portfolio management. In addition to monitoring your bitcoin holdings in your BitGo secure storage, you can also monitor any holdings you have in cold storage. With BitGo you are the bank, and they are the security guard!
BitGo's Sponsorship of the Plan ฿ Brochure effort puts us just under half-way to our fund-raising goal to produce and distribute 100,000 of these promotional tools to U.S. bitcoin activists. Our goal once they're produced is to distribute them all in 90 days or less, rapidly arming bitcoin activists with a professional bitcoin tri-fold that covers some of the basic benefits of using bitcoin, as well as the many businesses and organizations which make up the core of the bitcoin eco-system in the United States. You can request your slice of the 100,000 Plan ฿ Brochure pie by submitting your request and contact details on our main page.

When I first got started with bitcoins, I wasn't able to mine very many. Then a friend told me about faucet.bitcoin.st, where I was able to get free bitcoins every day.
As with most faucets, all that is required is to go to the website and enter in the address for a wallet and type in the captcha. After that is done the bitcoins are sent to your wallet for free.
Most of the daily payouts are only ฿0.01, which isn't very much, thats a given. It is 10x more than the most popular faucet, dailybitcoins.org, though. But considering the amount of faucets there are, and how easy it is to get them, you can easily think how quickly your wallet will go up.
Disappointingly though, this is only available to people with a US mobile. Unlike most faucets, instead of a captcha you have to enter your mobile number(they state US only) and enter the code you recieve on the website to get money.
Overall I would rate the site 5/10, it is hard to dislike something that gives out free money, its just sad that its not available to the rest of the world.

Do the clothes make the video game hero? Well, we sure think so and that's why we've put together a collection of our favorite suits in the industry. Of course everyone has their own opinion and our list may not match yours but that's what the comment box is for. So let's get to it!
#10: Agent 47 (Hitman series)
Proving you don't always need heavy armor to get the job done, Agent 47 takes down some of the deadliest thugs and mob bosses while being conveniently dressed for their funerals. In the Hitman world, costume changes are a must for blending in with the enemy but we know that when all is said and killed, nothing beats a black suit and red tie for this stealthy assassin. Don't like what the bald guy holding two guns and sporting a bar code tattoo on the back of his head is wearing? YOU tell him.
#9: Miles Edgeworth (Phoenix Wright series)
Law & Order + Japanese anime + Purple Rain = Miles Edgeworth. We've all seen it before: Boy witnesses the murder of his parent(s) and subsequently their killer walking away from any jail time or repercussions. But when faced with tragedy, Miles chose not to don a dark cape and cowl. Instead he hit the books and worked towards becoming the greatest courtroom prosecutor – vowing that no criminal would ever walk free again. Judging by the wardrobe though, I'm guessing Prince was pretty popular in law school.
#8: Sora (Kingdom Hearts II)
When it comes to costume changes I'm pretty sure Sora wins the medal for the most in a single game. Whether he's wearing the Gothic garb of Halloween Town or swimming through Atlantica as a merman, the keyblade wielder's wardrobe adds the finishing touches to an already incredibly entertaining experience. And for those who doubt the power of the KH attire: Do you really think Mickey Mouse would utter the words, "They'll pay for this" if he was wearing flannel?
#7: Alucard (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
The son of Dracula may have sided with the Belmont clan against his father but there's no denying where his sense of style came from. With a wardrobe that commands respect from both gentlemen and pimps alike, Alucard adds a touch of class to the list without sacrificing the element of badass.
Honorable Mention: Count Von Count (Sesame Street: Countdown)
#6: Mega Man (Mega Man 6)
When I was younger I thought it would be cool if I could jump on my dog's back and fly from place to place just like Mega Man did on Rush. Fortunately for my late pal Billy, the urge quickly faded after I got my hands on Mega Man 6 – a game that minimized the intrigue of dog-surfing by introducing a new jet form. Even though air-time lasted just a few seconds, you could take flight as often as you wanted without having to worry about replenishing energy with power cells. To this day, the jet form is one of my favorite Mega Man power-ups in the whole franchise.
Did any of your favorites make the list? If not, check back with us for the remaining top five coolest suits and feel free to share your ideas on who you think should round off the list.

I operate a second home / vacation rental, and since the very beginning, all the pillows, mattresses, etc have been encased in the anti-bed-bug anti-dust-mite etc pillow protector covers made by Keetsa. These have been wonderful; the fabric is soft and feels just like regular fabric, but meanwhile it's keeping any possible bed bugs out of our pristine bedding. The pillow protectors by Keetsa are about twenty dollars each, so when I saw these, a set of six for such a low price, and with good reviews, I thought FANTASTIC! When I received them, they looked nice (although they felt a bit plasticky). I had just purchased six brand new pillows so I quickly and happily placed each pillow in its cover. A while later I decided to recline on the bed briefly, with my head propped up against the new pillows. Within a minute or so, the back of my head became hot and sweaty. I thought, "What on earth?!? Is it the new pillows?" Then it occurred to me; maybe it's those plasticky new pillow protectors! I removed the pillow protector and lay down again, just as before. OK, NO PROBLEM! No crazy hot feeling at all. So then I knew, it's these dog-gone plasticy pillow protectors! OMG! Thank goodness I happen to lie down ... I would have hated for guests to come in and try sleeping on these, and for them to think that we thought this was acceptable. No, absolutely not!!! Overstock, I hope you will start carrying GOOD microfiber anti-bed-bug protectors which will NOT BE plasticky and will not cause any kind of heat whatsoever. Right now I don't find any on overstock, so I just went to k, e, e, t, s, a and purchased 8 new pillow protectors for twenty dollars each. Ouch, that's a lot of money but if these plasticky things are the only "cheap" alternative, it's totally worth it.
Wash nicely, feels like you have good protection for your pillows. Quality is good, Would order again in a heartbeat!
These covers are a far better price than you can get in the stores. The quality is only listed as good because there are some issues with the side zippers.
Needed a pillow cover that would keep me from having to wash and dry pillows often since I have asthma. Also have a beach place that is closed up part of the year and need covers to protect those stored pillows. This fabric is soft enough to sleep on without a pillow case and roomy to put on with little effort. Zips easily and has none of that brand new smell that always makes me suspicious of what chemical is in the fiber.
Having a small inn-like historic hotel, I've tried many different kinds of pillow protectors. These are the best yet! I will be buying more.
Great pillow protectors, true fit for my queen pillows.

Of a million things President Obama could use his second term in office to fix, he has maybe 10 slots — 10 real chances to advance the debate about a topic, even to advance policy, even while Washington is at its sclerotic worst. Drug law reform has always been on the president's to-do list. This I know from a series of conversations with some of his senior policy advisers during the first term. Because Obama's Justice Department has not stopped enforcing federal drug laws even as Americans are evolving quickly on the issue, and because Obama himself has not yet used one of those presidential attention-getting arrows he has, my prediction that he would move in his second term to attack the prison-drug-race nexus has been dismissed as wishful thinking, or, worse, something I just made up.
The drug war is grossly destructive for many reasons: the effect on black families (and increasingly, white families), the cartel violence in Mexico created by U.S. demand, the searing effect that drug policing has on inner cities, the billions of dollars a year spent with virtually nothing to show for it, and many more.
Today, Attorney General Eric Holder will take the first significant step to mitigate one of the most unjust parts of the system: mandatory minimum sentences that almost arbitrarily end meaningful lives for those who get slapped with them. Fear of black people and the need to calm the nerves of white suburbanites provide ample ammunition for white politicians in the 1970s; the crack "epidemic" reupped panic and triggered a federal response in the mid 1980s. The laws made it easy to justify imprisoning large numbers of young black men.
Judges could not consider the quantity of the drug involved, or the circumstances, or the level of violence associated with the crime. This neat little summary eludes many important deviations, however. One argument in favor of reducing judicial and prosecutorial discretion was that it would force the courts to treat people of different races more equally during sentencing. But the laws themselves, and their enforcement, never lived up to to the hope. Mandatory minimums for meth are now attacking poor white families.
According to Reuters, Holder plans to say that the Justice Department won't charge "certain low-level nonviolent drug offenders who have no ties to large-scale organizations, gangs, or cartels" with the type of offense that would trigger a mandatory minimum. Having NO ties whatsoever may be a rather tough burden for someone to prove, because people almost always buy their drugs from other people, and just what a "large-scale" cartel is is not clear.

The 2015 TCS New York City Marathon application will open January 15 and close Februrary 15. Learn more about entry guidelines.
The long-awaited 2012 Brooklyn Half-Marathon took place today as 15,000 runners made their way from the Brooklyn Museum to the Coney Island Boardwalk on a perfect May morning. The 24-year-old men's event record time was broken by the top two finishers. We have great photo galleries, full race stories, and more in our post race coverage.
The Brooklyn Half-Marathon wasn't just bigger this year. The field of 14,158 finishers—more than double the size of last year's—produced an event record on the men's side and unprecedented depth of talent in both the men's and women's races.
The elected officials assembled at the start of the Brooklyn Half-Marathon were unanimous: This year's race would be the biggest and best yet.
There was a lot to love about the 2012 NYRR Brooklyn Half-Marathon: a field of 15,000, spectacular spring weather, a finish on the Coney Island boardwalk, and nearly 40 special offers for runners and fans at Brooklyn businesses

Just finished in 2:24. Very proud of it. And NYRR did a great job. Is not how fast"

Review of the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Powerful drivetrains, stout underpinnings and unique options make the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado a pickup worth considering, but the Ram, F-150 and Titan have it beat when it comes to interior design and overall refinement.
- Safety
Roomy extended and crew cab models, strong V8 engines, innovative features, slick hybrid truck option.
Not as refined as the competition, low-grade interior materials, inconsistent build quality.
What's New for 2006
For 2006, there's a new "VortecMAX" performance group that includes a 345-hp, 6.0-liter V8, a heavy-duty tow package and a stronger rear axle; thusly equipped, the half-ton Silverado is on more equal footing with the Titan and the Hemi-equipped Ram. The Quadrasteer four-wheel steering option has been dropped, and the optional camper-style mirrors have been replaced by a folding and extending design with a built-in convex spotter glass. Other changes include slightly updated front-end styling and minor adjustments to trim levels and body configurations.Read full review of the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

What's New for 2006
For 2006, there's a new "VortecMAX" performance group that includes a 345-hp, 6.0-liter V8, a heavy-duty tow package and a stronger rear axle; thusly equipped, the half-ton Silverado is on more equal footing with the Titan and the Hemi-equipped Ram. The Quadrasteer four-wheel steering option has been dropped, and the optional camper-style mirrors have been replaced by a folding and extending design with a built-in convex spotter glass. Other changes include slightly updated front-end styling and minor adjustments to trim levels and body configurations.
Chevrolet's modern full-size pickup has been around in one form or another since the early '60s. Currently in its sixth generation, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, as it's now called, boasts classic styling and a wide variety of body styles and drivetrains. A perennial competitor to the full-size offerings from Ford and Dodge, Chevrolet generally finishes a close second to Ford in sales, mostly due to the fact that it shares customers with the almost identically equipped GMC Sierra.
Typically, combined sales of the two trucks outdo the F-Series. Often first to market with unique innovations, Chevy trucks also offer the OnStar communications system that provides the convenience of 24-hour on-call assistance for everything from tow truck calls to dinner reservations. The Vortec V8 engines are known for their generous power and relatively good mileage when driven with a soft foot.
Combine this with a wide variety of cabin amenities, and the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 presents a compelling package, especially for those who do a lot of towing and hauling. The Silverado is really starting to show its age, however, compared to the newer full-size offerings from competitors, which have the Chevy trucks beaten when it comes to interior design and materials, and overall refinement. We strongly encourage you to try out the competition before you settle on a Silverado 1500.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
Regular, extended- and crew-cab body styles are available on the Chevy Silverado 1500, and there are six basic trim levels: Work Truck, LS, LS2, LT1, LT2 and LT3. Designed to be affordable on-the-job companions, Work Trucks offer few amenities, but you do get dual-zone manual air conditioning and an AM/FM radio. LS1 models offer a few more features like cruise control, a CD player and deluxe cloth upholstery. The LS2 adds power windows, locks and keyless entry. The LT1 adds an auto-dimming rearview mirror. The LT2 includes a power driver seat and Bose audio. The LT3 includes steering wheel audio controls and alloy wheels. An off-road package provides a heavier-duty suspension and skid plates, while a Limited Edition package offers a performance suspension, 20-inch wheels, a locking differential and towing preparation.
Powertrains and Performance
Five engine choices are available for the half-ton Chevrolet Silverado -- a 195-horsepower, 4.3-liter V6; a 285-hp, 4.8-liter V8; a 295-hp, 5.3-liter V8; a 310-hp, 5.3-liter V8; and a 345-hp 6.0-liter V8 as part of the VortecMAX Package. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on regular cabs with the V6 engine. Optional on that model and standard on all other Silverados is a four-speed automatic. The maximum towing capacity with the 5.3-liter V8 is 9,100 pounds, while the 6.0-liter V8 can pull up to 10,000 pounds. All models come in two- or four-wheel drive. A hybrid powertrain option is available on extended cabs with the 5.3-liter, but the system does not provide any power boost. Its main function is to conserve fuel via automatic engine shutdown and startup at stops, as well as provide on-the-job power through four 120-volt AC outlets.
All Chevy Silverado trucks include four-wheel antilock brakes as standard equipment. The Silverado received a rating of "Marginal" (third lowest out of four possible rankings) in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's offset crash test. In government crash tests, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 received four stars (out of five) for driver protection in frontal impacts and three stars for the front passenger.
Interior Design and Special Features
Inside, Silverado buyers will find a logically laid-out interior, with clear, uncluttered gauges. Materials quality is unimpressive, and build quality, though improved over the last few years, is still below that of the competition. The cabin is roomy, particularly on crew cab models.
Driving Impressions
The 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is comfortable enough to be a daily driver, yet it's still powerful enough to use as a dedicated work truck. Acceleration ranges from adequate to vigorous, depending on which V8 you select, and the automatic transmission shifts with authority. The steering feels vague on center, but it's light and precise enough for easy maneuvering. The automatic engine shutdown and startup feature work seamlessly in the hybrid truck. Additionally, the hybrid's electric power steering feels at least as good as the traditional setup.

Handyman Franchise Finds Fix in WLR
by Luke Jones

Owner: John Pierce
Address: 16623 Cantrell Road, Suite 2B, Little Rock

John Pierce began his tenure in the working world in 1982. Over the course of the following years, he moved eight times, working in cities like Atlanta and Chicago. After a 21-year stint with Motorola, he began to look for more creative ways to explore his business potential.
Eventually, Pierce, 49, picked the Mr. Handyman franchise. He cited two reasons. First, he realized the necessity of the service. "You're going to have to do it whether or not you want to," Pierce said. "And I learned how to fix a lot of things over moving eight times." Second, he saw strong backing from Service Brands International, the corporation that owns Mr. Handyman as well as other service companies like Molly Maid Inc.
"Mr. Handyman is around 10 years old," he said. "There are 220 other ones across the country, which represents around 300 territories. It's a very large corporate team. You're only as good as the people that back you, and they have given me the best chance to succeed."
Pierce's Mr. Handyman is the first to open in Arkansas, and he expects to find competition mainly from local servicemen. But, according to Pierce, Mr. Handyman sets itself apart by the way it scrutinizes its employees. All of the service's technicians are employed by the service, rather than being subcontracted, are insured and lack a criminal background. "There are no shenanigans," Pierce said.
