This is a great accessory from Authentic Knitting Board. Once you have knit it once, you can do many variations. It also makes a wonderful Holiday gift, and it can be knit up in a matter of hours. The entire garment is knit in Stockinette Stitch, and consists of two triangles. It's the yarn that gives it the wonderful, swirly edges.
- Yarn: Rowan Donegal lambswool-100% pure new wool, (5) skeins at 25 grams each.
- Knitting board spacers 1-1/4" spacing. This is widest spacing on wood adjustable spacer. Need 4" bolts for knitting board.
Gauge 2.5 stitches=1"
This scarf/shawl will flow best if you keep your tension loose and your decrease snug.
Instructions for each triangle: (knit 2)
- Cast on (72) stitches. Place thick yarn for anchor yarn.
- Decrease (1) stitch at beginning of every row on both boards, beginning of rows only. Do not decrease on back end of board.
- Continue this for (60) rows.
- You now have (12) stitches remaining on board.
- Decrease (2) stitches at beginning of next row.
- Continue this decrease until you have just (2) stitches remaining. Bind Off.
- Leave approximately 26" of yarn on piece for sewing.
- Loosely crochet all stitches off anchor yarn. Remove anchor yarn by gently pulling from the knitting.
- Finishing: With short sides together, use end of yarn to loosely sew pieces together. A
- whip stitch will create the softest joint without any seam lines.
- Variations: To make a longer shawl that will drape nicely to hip, you will knit more rows.
- Change the Decrease: Decrease (1) stitch at beginning of (2) rows.
- Knit one regular row with no decrease.
- Repeat these (3) rows until you have knit a total of (90) rows.
- You now have (30) stitches on board.
- Decrease every row until you have (2) stitches remaining. Bind Off.

Viewing in Safety
When placed on a laminate or wood floor, a rug can easily slip out from underneath as you walk on it. This can be a hazard. This simple tip will show you how to stop rugs from slipping.
I was just thinking about the rubber liner for my cabinets I get at the $$ store and use double sided tape to hold it. Good Idea thanks everybody for putting in your 2 cents...lol going today...
How washable is it?
There is or was a TV series PARKING WARS. PA is featured in some episodes. There have been episodes with private towing companies will tow your vehicle. They will charge you about $65 to unhook you and charge you to get out of their lot.
I did this on a vinyl mat in kitchen worked fine!!
I agree. first time in the washer & there goes the tape...or at the very least, its ability to stick.
that's the lazy man's/redneck way of doing things...and if you wish to move the rug, you now have holes in the floor that look hideous
maybe that is why she's your ex - wife?Or,Maybe she just deserves someone that will treat her right....
I would NEVER, EVER, leave a rug without a rubber backing....I love my wife too much to see her get hurt...
never thought about the double sided tape tho...great idea!
Good job, love your videos.
Looks good, until the rug needs to be washed
Our mattress slips on the box spring and when it hangs over the edge a bit the mattress bends down enough that I rolled out of bed last week and hit my head and ribs on the quilt rack! That rubber pad would be wonderful between the mattress and box spring. Think I will try it!
Well that pad is not cheap when you need to hold large area rugs down. I tried 2 kinds and nothing held. I wanted the area rugs over light colored carpet, Finally got double stick tape and taped the area rug to the carpet... Now if and when I want to replace the carpet I guess the area rug may be usable but the carpet will probably be ruined. I can still clean both and nothing moves. The backing really is pretty useless.
it's not the first time...
All fine and dandy until you need to wash the rug. Unless you are doing a spot-clean, you will have to remove all the double-sided tape before throwing it into the washing machine, and then go back and attach all new double-sided tape again. Maybe just putting a couple of pieces of double-sided tape to the floor itself and laying the rug on top of it would work. It's easier than going through all that tape and measuring to attach it to the rug. Maybe this is one project Ron should have passed on.
I hold mine down with 32-16 penny nails! I could use 33 but that would probably be overkill...
Dude, he hurt his back when he fell...
I've used left over mating while wood working to help against wood sliding while planning or sanding.
Were you still safe when she got back on her feet?.. or was she even MADDER?...
Another Quick Fix. - Drive a drywall screw in each corner.I you want to be fancy, --- Use finishing washers.
You probably did that by chasing too many young women.---I'm 74 and I hope I'm still chasing them when I'm your age. 8-)
Did you ever consider using the double sided tape to tape your cats in on location, somewhere out of the way.:?
Dear Ron, Your timing is impeccable!
I just (yesterday) bought "Save your feet: save your floor, anti-fatigue foam floor mats" for the kitchen sink area, where I often end up standing for several hours making meals and cleaning up afterwards.
Because I have cats, I tossed a long throw rug over the floor mats so the cats won't be tempted to scratch the mats. Now, having seen your video, I'll buy the 2-sided sticky tape to secure the slip resistant material.
I really appreciate the way you show how to do things. Special Thanks to YOU and Happy Mother's Day to your Wife, for your FREE & HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS!Sincerely,
Thanks for all the great tips. John
Love writing those fire lane tickets to folks who ignore the lane warning.
My ex slipped on a throw rug when she was chasing me with a rolling pin, giving me time to escape...I`m leaving the rugs loose!
EXCELLENT idea Shari!!!!Some of the velcro rolls come with sticky tape attached too.
I recently read somewhere that rubber jar lid liners (for canning) sewn onto the back of the rug will do the job. At Walmart you can find this with canning supplies and it's very inexpensive.And if you sew it down well enough it should be washable. But I wouldn't put it in the dryer.
I've moved into a new place with wretched wall to wall and all my small carpets and runners are causing problems The backing Ron uses doesn't work that well on smaller rug on wall to wall carpet.
I hope you get over your fall soon.
Google it
Ron must have gotten the idea from a mom. Happy Mother's day to all of you!
Try bending over and straightening the rug out.
Not to mention a huge full size gas guzzling van to get to the store!
Who said to wash it?
No, the tape would not adhere well to the protrusions.
I question if that is a cheaper method. That silicone caulk is pricey Bro. I like your idea though.
That's the best idea Big
It's called rubber stuff to put on the back of area rugs so they won't slip, as seen on Ron Hazelton's help DIY video
LOL Goot one Bro
That's why you can also get it in the tool dept, Bro
Merry Christmas to you and yours also
Oh sure
I love these guys walking through the store shopping cart being pushed, and one little item in the cart. More effort pushing the cart than carrying the two small packages. Ace is the place.....
I'm 88 years old and have slipped on a lot of throw rugs in my lifetime, but now I know how to stop the slip. Thanks Ron. I keep a folder of your great ideas.
Keep the kittens in a box until they get bigger
Get a new rug
We have a runner rug on carpeted floor near front door its seems get moved forward when being walked on. Will this tip work on a carpeted floor with a runner rug.

My experience was really good, I have been other hostels-kind in LA before, so I wasn't expecting too much. I had the private room and it's pretty nice, the room is very clean, bathroom works perfect, Wifi working good (also this wifi works in different parts of LA), and I even had a microwave and fridge. The owner might look serious but he is really kind and helped me a lot.

|Entertaining as well as satisfying!
|3 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
Games that are based on anime are quite popular in the East, specifically Visual Novels. Visual Novels are games that focuses on more of the story and provides dialogue options similar to a RPG. Whether its a Galge or just age appropriated Novel, it compels the player to make decisive decisions that will affect the storyline. Through a cast of interactive characters, rely too much on text and dialogue options, this might be the reason why the western market isn't intriuged by this type of game.
One of the known Visual Novel is Clannad, created KEY. Whom created such hits like Air and Kanon. Key is known for making depressed storylines and emotions, its what derives from Clannad that makes it emotional. From character mortal's dilemmas to depressing music, its a emotional experience that have great merit. After creating a Visual Novel, KEY produced the anime for it. The elements on which made the Visual Novel, emotional still remain in this anime but it also picks you up and make you feel better.
Dezaki Osamu, a director who directed such nostalgic hits as Astro Boy and some of the Lupin III movies. Directs Clannad: The Motion Picture, based on the game which I still question. From what I have seen, its surprising that Ishihara Tatsuya isn't directing this movie. Yet this movie was before the release of the anime series, a year ago when it was released. While I can compare, comparisons between the anime series, its incorrect to say to compare this movie since it came before the anime series.
This movie is somewhat based upon: gaps of the first Clannad and After Story. Most of the key plot developments of After Story is in this movie. While this is all based on the game, in which has multiple endings and different branches upon the story, its still yet awkward and confusing to understand the difference between the anime series and the movie. The movie
The story starts out like Clannad but a depiction of Tomoya's depiction. Questioning his existence and how he is alone in this illusionary world. How he have a bad relationship with his father and disdaining the city he lived in. As he was a delinquent in High School he, out of a sudden finds a frail girl at the bottom of the hill towards school, unable to reach the top of the hill. At first Tomoya doesn't really care about Nagisa but then gradually helps her revive the drama club. Enter Sunohara Youhei, another delinquent that is friends with Tomoya decided to help her with this club.
At first the idea of reviving the drama club failed due to being "Invalid" to the council executives of the school. But as Nagisa tried to give her heart out to Kouko Ibuki, the former adviser of the drama club, the club was recreated again. While it failed on getting any new members, Tomoya, Sunohara and Nagisa is determined to stay in the club. Nagisa whom is determined to create a play for the Founder's Day Celebration, as Tomoya and Youhei is dragged into this. Tomoya was soon met by Nagisa's parents, Akio and Sanae of the Furukawa family. As they are former actors which retired due to Nagisa's illness.
When Nagisa performed as a solo performance for the Drama club, similar to the endings of the first season of Clannad. The only differences is that Nagisa has the courage to perform and wear her mother's wedding dress, while the anime series, Nagisa at first was too nervous in the stage but then was couraged by his father's words to do so. Soon after that solo performance by Nagisa, they graduated out of High School and Tomoya and Nagisa decided to get married. A few years later, after Nagisa was passed away due to giving birth to a daughter, Ushio. Which was named after to became stronger than her frail mother. Tomoya was in a current state of depression, and unable to coup with his life. While everyone: Sunohara, Tomoyo, Akio and Sanae tries to cheer him up as well as his father regretting being a bad father to him. Unable to help him,
The differences and similarities between the movie and the anime series is confusing, while this whole sole purpose of storytelling pertains in the Visual Novels. On where you get to decide what branch of the story, you prefer. This movie mainly focuses on the relationship between Nagisa and Tomoya but only them. As the others characters like Fuko, Ryou and Kotomi is written out of the picture, leaving Kyou, Tomoyo, Kouko and Yusuke. I have yet still question why Kyou is with Tomoyo as they are both, council representations. As they are the ones responsible for making "Invalid" signs over Nagisa's drama club posters. Kotomi only makes a brief cameo, as she is the conductor of the choir. The story that persists in this movie seems to be too awkward if you have watched the anime series. The way of summarizing the Clannad story is somehow difficult seeing its based on the Visual Novel on which has different endings.
The art presentation is really different from the anime counterpoint. The common flaw is the art design. It doesn't have the beautiful illustration to dynamic design that was portrayed in that series. While this is not an adaption to the anime series but the first animated series that is based on the Visual Novel. It reassembles the art style of KEY's Kanon series. The illustration design of the environments encountered during the movie is quite gorgeous. It gives merits to the presentation that is given there. The character design looks good but not great, despite having the same appeal as Kanon did, it still weirds me out comparing the characters from the anime series towards this movie. Through the share of colourful schemes of Sakura's blooms to the Illusionary world, its looks quite entertaining and well done. KEY proved to create the art in their series to worth merit as its one of the moments that looks satisfying.
The sound/music performance is astounding through the Japanese cast. Each of its acting gives merit to the performance. As this cast from derived from the Visual Novels and the anime series. I was surprised how talented the cast are. The cast showcased human emotions through the Anime as its gives great merit. The sheer brilliance of delivering emotions on which the movie deliver is quite a shock, whether its from Nagisa's death or the illusionary world, it send a chill down my spike. The only common flaw is that Nakamura Yuichi, the seiyuu that voiced the role of Tomoya in the anime series isn't there. As the first animated series from the Visual Novel, Nojima Kenji takes role of Tomoya. From anime series like BECK and Guyver. The seiyuu for Tomoya, despite getting used to the normal seiyuu, provides a decent role as portrayed from his character. The emotions gives some merit of sheer acting that was given through his dialogue during the illusionary sequences. The music performance is also excellent. The opening, Megumeru sung by eufonius sounds wonderful and a sheer of excellence portrayed in the openings and theme of this movie. The opening transition with the introduction of Nagisa on which was unable to walk up the hill and Tomoya helping him seems to fit pretty much. The soundtrack that was provided for this movie has a sheer of brilliance as most of the arrangements consists of piano tracks to calm music that fits the theme of Clannad. Through its Nagisa's death to the High school, you can understand the level of emotion that was created through the music orchestration. The other existing theme is "Big Dango Family" was introduced in this movie as Nagisa was to sing it. The seiyuu, famous for his role as Rena in Higurashi no Naku sung this song and it felt cute as well as entertaining. Both of the openings and the endings were sung by eufonius whom provided a excellent performance, especially the ending theme which sounds quite epic as a Clannad series.
Overall, Clannad: The Motion Picture is entertaining and satisfying movie. Despite having this trend of "being" an adaptation of the anime series which is incorrect. It's a enjoyable experience that will satisfying everyone. Through its emotions moments of Nagisa's death to the enjoyable moments of Nagisa's rendition of "Big Dango Family" and Ushio really reuniting with Tomoya. It shows merit that this movie is quite charming to its fullest potential. While the common flaw of its art design still pertains and confuses me, its interesting to see the first animated series that is based on the Visual Novel. Through its sheer brilliance of the acting to the soundtrack, its a enjoyable experience that I keep on watching it again. It's yet confusing at first with collied with the anime series, seeing how there are no comparisons but yet confuses me to summarize the storyline. It is excavated pretty well, seeing the trials and tribulations that Tomoya has faced through his life and how his father helped him back to reality by reuniting by Ushio. The reunion of Ushio and Tomoya is rejoicing as Tomoya is relieved out of his current state of depression and as well as it introduces Ushio on which she was watched in After Story. One of the best anime movie that I watch recently and its quite worth it.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the amount of Americans who don't like beer at all because they think that BMC IS beer. I know many people like this. I'm not saying whether or not it was intentional, but to the average American, BMC has reduced the definition of beer to their beers... and if someone who doesn't know beer drinks a BMC product and doesn't like it, they think they don't like beer at all. That, my friends, is a crying shame!
I'm just happy that ButWiper is starting to bottle in 7 oz bottles. I hate that I have to drink them, but the bottles are absolutely the perfect fit for SWMBO. I try and do a 6 pack of 7 oz bottles from every batch for her.
Funny, I know some people who have only had Heiniken all their lives. Every time I go to the store I look for something I haven't tried yet. For example every so often I pick up a six pack of Hoeegarden, but I also like Natural Lite because it is lite. But to me it all depends on your mood, the conditions, etc. and your capacity for alcohol before getting drunk. I don't like to get too drunk (like when I was in my 20's) so if I want to stay up all night listening to music I'd go with the NL. If after a long day at work I just want to relax and go to bed I may pick the Hoeegarden. Two totally differnet tastes but I enjoy both. There is also the $$ perspective for some people.
Good chance inBev is going to buy out Bud. I guess Anheuser's market share is starting to shrink as more people are drinking micro, imports and wine. InBev (formerly known as interbrew) makes a good portion of the imports and wth it's 20% market share makes more money than Anheuser with it's 50% market share.
It will probably be a good thing. While inBev mainstreamed slightly some of the imports over the years, they will likely release a number of Euorpean style beers thorugh the Anheuser breweries if this take over goes through.
I just hope their combined marleting power doesn't start to hit the micros in the pocket. Inbev's contract to brew/market Bud in Canada in 98 turned bud from last to first place in number of beers sold in Canada.
I may not be an expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express........ 6 months ago.http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/denn...9/#post1766281http://groups.homebrewtalk.com/Tapro...ook_Repository
I do not have a problem with A-B and the other majors' products. They make those beers, and if folks want to drink them, more power to everyone involved.
My problem with the majors, and especially with A-B, is the way they run their businesses. First of all, their marketing is despicable. It's two-faced. They tell you about how difficult it is to brew something like a Budweiser and strongly imply that darker beer is flawed. Then, they turn around and market dark beers under a different label. That's just one example. Yes, of course they want to make money and sell beer, but now that is little more than rationalization for selling their collective soul. It's not much better than some shyster on a street corner or informercial.
More than that, though, I detest their eliminate competition. They (and I mean all the majors) have tried to work like some sort of cabal to eliminate any other players. They lobby like hell to keep certain laws in place and to change others to that purpose. A-B successfully did everything they could to keep brewpubs out of Texas until they wanted to open one at Sea World in San Antonio. Even then, they monkeyed the law so that A-B could be the only fairly large brewery who could own a brewpub. Again, that is just one example.
I know they have a right to do it (in most cases - see the link regarding the antitrust case, above). Yes, they have muscle, and they use it to their advantage. I'm not talking about what is legal, though. I am talking about what is right. A-B and the other majors are not just trying to beat the competition, they are trying to eliminate competition, and they try to do so in a number of underhanded, despicable ways. They lack integrity.

A breakout hit chronicling life with a Pennsylvania family with two sets of multiples (twins and sextuplets). The first four seasons offer a mostly endearing look at life in a large family, but the series took a more serious turn in Season 5 when Jon and Kate announced they were separating. The subsequent discord led to the end of the series at the conclusion of that season, in 2009.

Céline Dion is bidding Vegas farewell and setting out on a yearlong world tour — kicked off by a star-studded concert, Céline Dion: That's Just the Woman in Me (tonight at 9 pm/ET, CBS). We caught up with the star to discuss where her career goes from here.
TV Guide: Are you trying to convey something specific about yourself by naming the new album Taking Chances and your CBS concert Céline Dion: That's Just the Woman in Me?Celine Dion: Yes. Maturity, stability, strength. Comfort zone. The best is yet to come. I enjoy singing much more now than I ever did before because I don't need to do it — I want to do it. I don't need to prove anything. I'm not thinking of technique. I'm taking chances and trying different sounds.

Actor Neal McDonough (Traveler) based his decision to take on the lead in Sci Fi's anticipated Oz-take, Tin Man (premiering Dec. 2 at 9 pm/ET), on atypical reasons: "For me, having two babies now and the most beautiful wife in the world — wonderful wife, best friend, everything — I had to think about that," he told TV Guide at the media premiere. "Every decision I make now is 100 percent about my family, for (Tin Man) Wyatt Cain it was the same thing and he had it taken away from him." McDonough and his wife, Ruve Robinson, have two children, 2-year-old Morgan and 6-month-old Catherine.
Tin Man definitely has its roots in L. Frank Baum's classic, but with a decidedly darkly modern take as follows a young girl named D.G., played by Zooey Deschanel, who finds herself in "The O.Z." or the Outer Zone. It was McDon

When it comes to available bachelors, Seattle Grace Hospital has a slew that classify as swoonworthy. Newly added to the list is "the chief," played by James Pickens Jr.
"Obviously, he's scared to death of getting in the dating pool," Pickens tells TV Guide of his character, Dr. Richard Webber on Grey's Anatomy. "With McDreamy and McSteamy trying to egg him on, it doesn't bode well for him."
Pickens doesn't see reconciliation on the horizon between the chief and his wife, Adele, played by Loretta Devine. "At this moment, he's pretty much in limbo as far as his marital status is concerned." Instead, Pickens says Webber is going through a grieving process that encompasses both Adele and deceased lover Ellis Grey.

Richard Childress Racing has eight previous NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts at the Sparta, Ky.-based facility, earning two pole awards, two top-five and five top-10 finishes. The organization also boasts a 6.8 average starting position combined with a 9.9 average finishing position at the 1.5-mile track. Collectively, the Welcome, N.C.-based race team has completed 99.1 percent of their contested laps (1,193 of 1,204) at Kentucky Speedway and led for 57 circuits.
Tim George Jr. #2 Applebee's/Potomac Family Dining Group Chevrolet
This Week's Applebee's/Potomac Family Dining Group Chevrolet at Kentucky Speedway … Tim George Jr. will pilot Chassis No. 021 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stable this weekend in the Kentucky 201. This Chevrolet was last raced at Kentucky Speedway in June where George Jr. started 15th and finished 24th. George earned the pole award with this RCR Chevrolet at Kansas Speedway in April and went on to finish in the 17th position. This chassis was also driven by Austin Dillon at Pocono Raceway in 2010, where he finished seventh after starting fourth. Dillon also drove this Chevrolet during the 2009 season at Iowa Speedway and New Hampshire Motor Speedway finishing 12th and 15th, respectively.
Kentucky Details … George has one previous start at the Sparta, Ky.-based facility earning a 24th-place result in the June edition of the race. The New York City native has six additional starts on tracks 1.5-mile or larger in length, garnering a 16.8 average starting position and a 22.7 average finishing position.
Season in Review … George has completed eight of his 12 scheduled races on the 2012 Camping World Truck Series schedule. At this point in the season, the RCR driver earned one pole award at Kansas Speedway (April) and completed 93.1 percent (1,115 of 1,197) of the contested laps. George holds an average starting position of 12.9 and an average finishing position of 19.8. Following this weekend's 134-lap event, he is scheduled to participate in the Camping World Truck Series events at Talladega Superspeedway, Martinsville Speedway and the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Owner Points … After 15 races in the 2012 season, the No. 2 Chevrolet team currently sits 10th in the Camping World Truck Series owner championship point standings courtesy of drivers Harvick, Brendan Gaughan and George.
Rearview Mirror: Iowa Speedway … George and the No. 2 Applebee's/Potomac Family Dining Group team finished 22nd at Iowa Speedway after a pit road penalty at the halfway point of the 200-lap affair.
What are your expectations for this weekend's event at Kentucky Speedway? "Kentucky Speedway has some similarities when compared to Kansas Speedway. We had a really fast truck at Kansas Speedway and qualified on the pole. We'll have good notes to use from the last time we were in Kentucky to start off with in practice on Friday. I think we can go out there this weekend and compete in the top 10."
Ty Dillon #3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet
This Week's Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet at Kentucky Speedway … Ty Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 026 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stable in Friday's Kentucky 201. This is the same Chevrolet that Dillon drove to Victory Lane for his first-career Camping World Truck Series win at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Bluegrass State Details … This week's 134-lap event marks Dillon's third appearance at the Sparta, Ky.-based facility. In the June event at the track, the 20-year-old driver earned a third-place result after starting from the fourth position. Dillon made his first career Camping World Truck Series start at the 1.5-mile track in September 2011 where he finished 18th after fuel system issues plagued the team in the later stages of the race.
Loopy in Sparta … According to NASCAR's Loop Data Statistics for Kentucky Speedway, Dillon is the fourth-Fastest Driver Late in a Run. He ranks seventh in the Speed by Quarter category and is ninth in Green Flag Speed. Dillon holds the 10th-highest Driver Rating (91.8) amongst the other drivers.

Sunoco Rookie of the Year Update … Dillon leads the 2012 Sunoco Rookie of the Year standings by 81 points ahead of driver Cale Gale.
Season to Date … Dillon has earned impressive stats with 15 races complete on the 2012 Camping World Truck Series schedule. According to NASCAR's Season-to-Date Loop Data Statistics, the Welcome, N.C., native leads the series in the Fasteston Restarts, Laps Run in the Top 15 (2,117) and Percentage of Laps Run on Lead Lap (97.03 percent) categories. He ranks second in the Fastest Driver Early in a Run and Average Running Position (8.044) categories. Dillon has the series' third-highest Driver Rating (101.5), Green Flag Speed and the third Fastest Speed in Traffic.With 432 Quality Passes made over the first half of the season, Dillon ranks fifth amongst his competitors.
Rearview Mirror: Iowa Speedway … Dillon started the 200-lap event at Iowa Speedway from the ninth position and battled a loose-handling Chevrolet for a majority of the event. Crew chief Marcus Richmond called for various four-tire pit stops with chassis adjustments to combat the handling issues that Dillon was experiencing. Restarting from the third position with 30 laps remaining in the race, Dillon advanced one spot, to second, before taking the checkered flag.
You finished third in June when the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series visited Kentucky Speedway, what are your thoughts heading there this weekend? "I'm excited to be able to race back-to-back weekends these past few weeks. It helps keep the momentum going with the team. Kentucky (Speedway) is a fun track, and I enjoy racing there. We had a fast truck when we were there in June and have a good place to start for when we get back to the track this weekend. I hope to better that top-three finish this time around."
Joey Coulter #22 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet
This Week's Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet at Kentucky Speedway … Joey Coulter will pilot Chassis No. 024 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Camping World Truck Series stable in Friday night's Kentucky 201. This RCR-prepared Chevrolet last ran at Chicagoland Speedway in July where Coulter started second and finished in the 15th position. Coulter also drove this Chevrolet to two top-10 finishes at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May and Texas Motor Speedway in June.
Coulter in the Bluegrass State … Coulter has three previous starts at the 1.5-mile track in the Camping World Truck Series, recording top-15 finishes in each event and leading for eight circuits. Additionally, Coulter has one start in the ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards at the Sparta, Ky.-based facility, in 2009, where he finished seventh.
In June … In the June edition of the Camping World Truck Series event at Kentucky Speedway, Coulter and the No. 22 Steak-umm Chevrolet team started the event from the 16th position. Despite battling a lack of grip throughout a majority of the race, Coulter drove to a seventh-place finish.
By the Numbers … With 15 races complete in the 2012 season, Coulter has collected one win, one pole award, three top-five and nine top-10 results. He holds an average starting position of 9.4 along with an average finishing position of 10.1 and has completed 98.9 percent (2,333 of 2,351) of the contested laps.
Going for a Loop … Coulter has earned impressive stats with 15 races complete on the 2012 Camping World Truck Series schedule. According to NASCAR's Season-to-Date Loop Data Statistics, the 22-year-old driver is the series' leader in Quality Passes (503). He ranks second in Fastest Speed in Traffic and Fastest Drivers Early in a Run. He is ranked fourth in Green Flag Speed. Coulter holds a 95.5 Driver Rating and 10.451 Average Running Position, ranking him sixth and seventh,respectivelyamongst his fellow competitors.
Get to the Points … Coulter is sixth in the Camping World Truck Series driver championship point standings, 46 points behind the leader and RCR teammate Ty Dillon.
Rewind: Iowa Speedway … The No. 22 RCR team started the 200-lap event at Iowa Speedway from the 14th position and competed in the top-15 for the first half of the race. As Coulter was exiting pit road after a green-flag pit stop, NASCAR officials displayed the yellow-flag pinning the Miami Springs, Fla., native in the 17th position and two laps down to the leader. Coulter was able to rejoin lead lap competition and climb his way into the 13th spot before taking the checkered flag.
What are your thoughts on Kentucky Speedway? "Kentucky (Speedway) is a fun place to race. RCR has put together a good 1.5-mile package for the trucks this year, and I'm excited to get there and see what the No. 22 team can do this weekend. We didn't have the finish we hoped for last weekend at Iowa (Speedway), but I know we can regroup and try again on Friday."

LLAre you two ever coming back here?
'Cause I'm just around the corner from where you used to be… 7 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.

Umbrian Discovery, May 2014
Peter Hindle
Too much time in Umbria & Sorrento for what we did. Extra time in Rome and Naples/Pompei would have been appropriate.

Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.Lord Byron
The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her.Dwight L. Moody
The man who says his evening prayer is a captain posting his sentinels. He can sleep.Charles Baudelaire
Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anywayMary C. Crowley
As we watch the sun go down, evening after evening, through the smog across the poisoned watchers of our native earth, we must ask ourselves seriously whether we really wish some future universal historian on another planet to say about us: "With all their genius and with all their skill, they ran out of foresight and air and food and water and ideas," or, "They went on playing politics until their world collapsed around them."U Thant
Tell me how many beads there are In a silver chain Of evening rain, Unravelled from the tumbling mainThomas Lovell Beddoes
Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night.William Blake
Our sins, like to our shadows, when our day was in its glory, scarce appeared; toward our evening, how great and monstrous!Sir John Suckling
Out into the cool of the evening strolls the pretender. He knows that all his hopes and dreams begin and end there.Clyde Jackson Browne
It is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. It is light I "listen" to. The light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. After sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. I see magic in the quiet light of dusk. I feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. A sense of magic prevails. A sense of mystery. It is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs.John Sexton
Prayer is the key of the morning and the bolt of the evening.Mahatma Gandhi
May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.Irish Toast
In the morning a man walks with his whole body; in the evening, only with his legs.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never are voices so beautiful as on a winter's evening, when dusk almost hides the body, and they seem to issue from nothingness with a note of intimacy seldom heard by day.Virginia Woolf
That loss is common would not make My own less bitter, rather more: Too common! Never morning wore To evening, but some heart did break.Lord Alfred Tennyson
I sing the sweets I know, the charms I feel, My morning incense. and my evening meal, The sweets of Hasty-Pudding.Joel Barlow
I don't know why people like the home run so much. A home run is over as soon as it starts.... The triple is the most exciting play of the game. A triple is like meeting a woman who excites you, spending the evening talking and getting more excited, then taking her home. It drags on and on. You're never sure how it's going to turn outGeorge Foster
We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let our dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, nurse them through bad days till they bring them to sunshine and lightWoodrow T. Wilson
Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at the touch, nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening.Oliver Wendell Holmes Junior
Come in the evening, or come in the morning, Come when you're looked for, or come without warning.Thomas Davis
When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherised upon a table.T.S. Eliot
Silence on a hill where the path ended and then the forest below moving in one long whisper as evening touched the leaves.William Stafford
A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.Henry David Thoreau
Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

"I used this card for my baby's birth announcement and was very pleased with how it turned out. The card was beautiful, the images I submitted were exactly the way I wanted it. I have gotten nothing but compliments on how great they are! I orered them 2 days before thanksgiiving and got the day after thanksgiving... super fast!"
"Very easy to upload and import images; perfect to show multiple photos of your baby-all their pieces and parts!!! paper is thick and printing is quality"
"I used this card for a thank you after my triplets 1st birthday. It was a simple, elegant design. I loved the colors and layout. I wish that the tiled pictures on the right side would have been a little bigger, but I still enjoyed the final product. The paper the card came on was just the right weight and texture. It really brought out the colors and elements of the pictures and design. The text looked gorgeous and everyone loved it. The larger single picture really balances the card well."
"The product looked great. The paper is nice, the design is elegant and the printing looks great. Also, I had somebody contact me to review quality before printing, which was a nice touch."
"We were very happy with the entire process and product. Making the card was very easy, and we loved how we could edit the photos and even change them to black and white. We also liked the design and how easy it was to input our information. Customer service kept us informed of the order status every step of the way, and the product arrived very quickly. The annoucements look great and we were very proud to send them to our friends and family. The paper is also a much higher quality than I expected. Overall, a great experience."
